00:03:35,757 --> 00:03:38,302
<i>This was my body.</i>

3
00:03:48,353 --> 00:03:51,940
<i>On December 27, 1979,</i>

4
00:03:52,274 --> 00:03:54,109
<i>I lay in bed all day.</i>

5
00:03:54,860 --> 00:03:58,030
<i>Whether I was asleep or in a coma</i>

6
00:03:58,614 --> 00:04:01,074
<i>later became a subject of dispute.</i>

7
00:04:04,536 --> 00:04:06,622
<i>When my breathing became obstructed...</i>

8
00:04:06,955 --> 00:04:08,040
Maria!

9
00:04:08,165 --> 00:04:10,959
<i>...my husband, Claus von Bulow,</i>

10
00:04:11,627 --> 00:04:14,838
<i>finally did as my maid
had been urging all day.</i>

11
00:04:15,839 --> 00:04:16,965
<i>He summoned a physician.</i>

12
00:04:17,883 --> 00:04:18,967
Dr. Paultees.

13
00:04:19,259 --> 00:04:20,594
<i>I stopped breathing.</i>

14
00:04:21,678 --> 00:04:23,096
<i>My heart stopped beating.</i>

15
00:04:24,097 --> 00:04:26,934
<i>By this time,
I was certainly in a deep coma</i>

16
00:04:27,768 --> 00:04:30,521
<i>from which I awoke several hours later.</i>

17
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,566
<i>By the next morning, I was myself again.</i>

18
00:04:34,733 --> 00:04:36,485
There's no reason for all this fuss.

19
00:04:37,736 --> 00:04:40,155
I've never felt better in my whole life.

20
00:04:40,405 --> 00:04:43,534
<i>This first coma aroused suspicion and fear</i>

21
00:04:43,742 --> 00:04:46,328
<i>in the minds of my personal maid, Maria,</i>

22
00:04:46,995 --> 00:04:48,330
<i>my son, Alex,</i>

23
00:04:48,622 --> 00:04:50,332
<i>and my elder daughter, Ala.</i>

24
00:04:51,166 --> 00:04:52,334
<i>From this time on,</i>

25
00:04:52,751 --> 00:04:55,003
<i>though they never voiced
their suspicions to me,</i>

26
00:04:55,712 --> 00:04:58,590
<i>they kept a vigilant eye on Claus.</i>

27
00:04:59,716 --> 00:05:02,719
<i>A year later, just before Christmas,</i>

28
00:05:03,220 --> 00:05:06,056
<i>their darkest fears seemed justified.</i>

29
00:05:06,306 --> 00:05:07,599
Has Mummy had breakfast yet?

30
00:05:08,058 --> 00:05:09,142
No, we haven't seen her.

31
00:05:25,701 --> 00:05:27,911
<i>My husband did not want
our daughter, Cosima,</i>

32
00:05:28,078 --> 00:05:29,663
<i>to see what he had found,</i>

33
00:05:29,872 --> 00:05:32,416
<i>so he motioned to his stepson Alex.</i>

34
00:05:47,055 --> 00:05:48,182
<i>Second coma.</i>

35
00:05:48,348 --> 00:05:50,684
- Oh, no.
<i>- My pulse was 38,</i>

36
00:05:51,059 --> 00:05:54,646
<i>my temperature, 81.6 degrees.</i>

37
00:05:57,441 --> 00:05:58,734
Did you call an ambulance?

38
00:06:01,653 --> 00:06:04,072
Nicholas, would you ask Robert
to open the main gates?

39
00:06:04,198 --> 00:06:05,407
We're expecting an ambulance.

40
00:06:05,407 --> 00:06:06,491
Mrs. von Bulow...

41
00:06:06,575 --> 00:06:08,535
Ma'am, send an ambulance immediately.

42
00:06:08,702 --> 00:06:10,162
It's on Belleview Avenue.

43
00:06:10,704 --> 00:06:12,706
- Look, bring her something warm.
- Thank you.

44
00:06:12,706 --> 00:06:14,708
Uh, or--or blankets
or anything you can find.

45
00:06:14,750 --> 00:06:17,336
<i>All this activity was pointless.</i>

46
00:06:19,713 --> 00:06:20,881
We better do an EEG.

47
00:06:21,048 --> 00:06:22,799
<i>I never woke from this coma,</i>

48
00:06:23,717 --> 00:06:24,801
<i>and I never will.</i>

49
00:06:26,678 --> 00:06:29,556
<i>I am what doctors call
persistent vegetative,</i>

50
00:06:30,224 --> 00:06:31,308
<i>a vegetable.</i>

51
00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:35,062
<i>According to medical experts,</i>

52
00:06:35,229 --> 00:06:38,232
<i>I could stay like this
for a very long time,</i>

53
00:06:38,941 --> 00:06:42,194
<i>brain-dead, body better than ever.</i>

54
00:06:44,196 --> 00:06:46,281
<i>Enter Robert Brillhoffer,</i>

55
00:06:47,115 --> 00:06:49,243
<i>former Manhattan District Attorney.</i>

56
00:06:50,035 --> 00:06:52,246
<i>My two children from my first marriage,</i>

57
00:06:52,412 --> 00:06:54,414
<i>Alex and Ala von Auersberg,</i>

58
00:06:54,915 --> 00:06:58,168
<i>hired Brillhoffer to investigate the case.</i>

59
00:07:00,045 --> 00:07:03,465
He put a "do not resuscitate" order
on her hospital chart.

60
00:07:03,715 --> 00:07:06,301
<i>They sent Alex and a private investigator</i>

61
00:07:06,635 --> 00:07:09,304
<i>back to my Newport cottage,
Clarendon Court,</i>

62
00:07:10,055 --> 00:07:11,849
<i>to search for drugs.</i>

63
00:07:14,768 --> 00:07:16,270
<i>They found plenty</i>

64
00:07:16,770 --> 00:07:18,438
<i>in Claus' closet.</i>

65
00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:20,274
<i>On top of that,</i>

66
00:07:20,607 --> 00:07:21,942
<i>the hospital lab reported</i>

67
00:07:22,109 --> 00:07:24,111
<i>that my blood insulin on admission</i>

68
00:07:24,278 --> 00:07:26,363
<i>was 14 times normal,</i>

69
00:07:27,322 --> 00:07:30,701
<i>a level almost surely caused by injection.</i>

70
00:07:31,869 --> 00:07:35,289
<i>Insulin injection could
readily cause coma...</i>

71
00:07:36,623 --> 00:07:37,708
<i>or death.</i>

72
00:07:40,043 --> 00:07:43,380
<i>This encrusted needle
tested positive for insulin.</i>

73
00:07:45,549 --> 00:07:47,384
<i>Alex couldn't wait to get back...</i>

74
00:07:47,551 --> 00:07:48,218
Let's get out of here.

75
00:07:48,385 --> 00:07:49,553
<i>...and show Brillhoffer.</i>

76
00:07:50,888 --> 00:07:52,764
<i>Now they felt they had the murder weapon.</i>

77
00:07:53,432 --> 00:07:55,684
<i>All they lacked was the motive.</i>

78
00:07:56,518 --> 00:07:57,352
<i>At that moment,</i>

79
00:07:57,519 --> 00:07:59,771
<i>my husband was vacationing
with his mistress,</i>

80
00:08:00,189 --> 00:08:04,985
<i>the very beautiful soap opera actress,
Alexandra Isles.</i>

81
00:08:05,277 --> 00:08:05,986
Oh, God.

82
00:08:06,153 --> 00:08:08,405
<i>Mrs. Isles, a divorc�e,</i>

83
00:08:08,989 --> 00:08:10,657
<i>was the daughter of an old friend,</i>

84
00:08:10,824 --> 00:08:12,034
<i>Count Billy Botsky.</i>

85
00:08:15,954 --> 00:08:18,916
<i>Brillhoffer also discovered that,
at my death,</i>

86
00:08:19,249 --> 00:08:23,086
<i>Claus, whose own net worth
was only a million dollars,</i>

87
00:08:23,420 --> 00:08:26,507
<i>stood to inherit 14 million from me.</i>

88
00:08:27,508 --> 00:08:29,593
<i>Alexandra later testified</i>

89
00:08:30,260 --> 00:08:33,972
<i>that Claus showed her
a legal analysis of my will.</i>

90
00:08:35,682 --> 00:08:40,479
<i>On the evidence collected by Alex, Ala,
and their lawyer, Brillhoffer,</i>

91
00:08:40,979 --> 00:08:43,106
<i>my husband was accused of twice trying</i>

92
00:08:43,273 --> 00:08:45,817
<i>to murder me with injections of insulin.</i>

93
00:08:46,693 --> 00:08:49,488
<i>On March 16, 1982,</i>

94
00:08:49,988 --> 00:08:52,366
<i>he was found guilty on both counts.</i>

95
00:08:52,533 --> 00:08:55,536
...charged the defendant
committed on December 27th, 1979...

96
00:08:55,702 --> 00:08:59,206
<i>Even Alexandra Isles
testified against him.</i>

97
00:08:59,373 --> 00:08:59,998
How do you find?

98
00:09:00,374 --> 00:09:01,041
Guilty.

99
00:09:01,208 --> 00:09:02,292
As to count two,

100
00:09:02,584 --> 00:09:05,671
charge the defendant committed
on December 21, 1980,

101
00:09:06,004 --> 00:09:08,215
the crime of assault
with intent to murder,

102
00:09:08,465 --> 00:09:09,091
how do you find?

103
00:09:09,258 --> 00:09:09,842
Guilty.

104
00:09:10,133 --> 00:09:13,971
<i>You are about to see how
Claus von Bulow sought to reverse...</i>

105
00:09:14,596 --> 00:09:17,349
<i>or escape from that jury's verdict.</i>

106
00:09:19,017 --> 00:09:20,185
<i>You tell me.</i>

107
00:09:26,942 --> 00:09:28,026
And two!

108
00:09:28,735 --> 00:09:29,862
Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!

109
00:09:29,862 --> 00:09:30,696
Taking you downtown!

110
00:09:30,863 --> 00:09:31,947
Air Dersh!

111
00:09:33,657 --> 00:09:35,200
Take it in! Take it in! Foul!

112
00:09:35,742 --> 00:09:38,829
Okay. Here I go.
Here I go! Watch the hands!

113
00:09:38,996 --> 00:09:40,080
Watch the hands!

114
00:09:46,295 --> 00:09:47,379
Yeah, hello.

115
00:09:48,755 --> 00:09:49,798
What?

116
00:09:52,885 --> 00:09:54,511
Oh, shit. Ju--bottom line.

117
00:09:56,180 --> 00:09:57,222
Oh, shit!

118
00:10:18,619 --> 00:10:19,703
Hi.

119
00:10:26,376 --> 00:10:27,294
Let's try that again.

120
00:10:27,461 --> 00:10:28,879
Hi, Dad.
Remember Maggie?

121
00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:32,132
Hi, Maggie. Hello.

122
00:10:35,177 --> 00:10:37,888
They're going to fry.
The Johnson brothers.

123
00:10:38,597 --> 00:10:39,681
What?

124
00:10:41,099 --> 00:10:42,184
But--

125
00:10:43,602 --> 00:10:45,896
Two black kids broke
their father out of prison.

126
00:10:46,355 --> 00:10:47,731
The father shot two people,

127
00:10:47,898 --> 00:10:49,566
and the sons are convicted of murder.

128
00:10:49,566 --> 00:10:51,527
A lawyer prays for an innocent client.

129
00:10:51,818 --> 00:10:53,987
Finally, finally, I get two.

130
00:10:54,238 --> 00:10:55,447
Both of them are going to get zapped.

131
00:10:55,447 --> 00:10:56,323
No more appeals?

132
00:10:56,490 --> 00:10:58,408
Supreme Court, but this was the best shot.

133
00:11:01,828 --> 00:11:02,579
It's the press.

134
00:11:02,746 --> 00:11:04,373
You don't want to talk to the press?

135
00:11:06,542 --> 00:11:08,210
Dershowitz Psychiatric Institute.

136
00:11:10,504 --> 00:11:11,588
Yeah, hang on a second.

137
00:11:12,297 --> 00:11:13,423
Claus von Bulow.

138
00:11:15,008 --> 00:11:16,093
It's a reporter.

139
00:11:16,426 --> 00:11:17,511
With an English accent?

140
00:11:18,929 --> 00:11:20,222
What paper do you represent?

141
00:11:20,597 --> 00:11:23,559
If I can't save two innocent kids,
what's the point?

142
00:11:23,725 --> 00:11:26,770
- I might as well hang it up.
- Yeah. One second, one second, sorry.

143
00:11:26,770 --> 00:11:28,689
He really seems to think he's von Bulow.

144
00:11:28,981 --> 00:11:30,399
Hello. This is Alan Dershowitz.

145
00:11:30,566 --> 00:11:31,942
Who are you? What do you want?

146
00:11:36,405 --> 00:11:37,489
It's von Bulow.

147
00:11:38,282 --> 00:11:39,366
Back in business.

148
00:11:46,456 --> 00:11:47,541
Can I help you, sir?

149
00:11:47,583 --> 00:11:48,250
Claus von Bulow.

150
00:11:48,417 --> 00:11:50,210
Elevator's to the left, go right ahead.

151
00:11:57,801 --> 00:11:58,886
Holy shit.

152
00:12:07,144 --> 00:12:08,228
Hello?

153
00:12:14,860 --> 00:12:15,986
Hello?

154
00:12:17,070 --> 00:12:20,199
Professor Dershowitz, hello, hello.

155
00:12:21,033 --> 00:12:22,451
How good of you to come.

156
00:12:23,285 --> 00:12:24,369
Pleasure.

157
00:12:24,536 --> 00:12:25,621
Won't you sit down?

158
00:12:33,587 --> 00:12:34,671
Do you play?

159
00:12:34,755 --> 00:12:35,839
That? No.

160
00:12:37,508 --> 00:12:39,259
Most people think it's a game of luck.

161
00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:42,679
Actually, it's largely a matter of nerve.

162
00:12:47,017 --> 00:12:49,937
Um... nothing, thank you, Charles.

163
00:12:51,063 --> 00:12:54,233
Why don't we go to Delmonico's
and have a proper lunch?

164
00:12:55,067 --> 00:12:56,151
Whatever.

165
00:13:00,614 --> 00:13:02,824
I should tell you that
I have the greatest respect

166
00:13:02,908 --> 00:13:05,619
for the intelligence and
integrity of the Jewish people.

167
00:13:09,706 --> 00:13:10,791
When I married Sunny,

168
00:13:10,832 --> 00:13:13,168
she was the most beautiful divorc�e
in the world

169
00:13:13,502 --> 00:13:14,878
and one of the wealthiest.

170
00:13:15,504 --> 00:13:18,549
Even so, we never got this table.

171
00:13:18,966 --> 00:13:20,050
Professor Dershowitz.

172
00:13:23,762 --> 00:13:24,847
Dr. von Bulow.

173
00:13:26,056 --> 00:13:28,267
Two injections of insulin,
already I'm a doctor.

174
00:13:29,184 --> 00:13:32,229
No, in America,
it's fame rather than class.

175
00:13:32,688 --> 00:13:35,983
Now, after all this unpleasantness,

176
00:13:36,149 --> 00:13:38,902
I always get the best table and...

177
00:13:39,778 --> 00:13:41,321
Speaking of the unpleasantness--

178
00:13:41,488 --> 00:13:43,824
Oh, yes, I suppose
we better discuss your fee.

179
00:13:45,868 --> 00:13:46,952
Okay.

180
00:13:47,911 --> 00:13:49,079
It's 300 dollars an hour.

181
00:13:49,746 --> 00:13:50,831
Good Lord!

182
00:13:52,249 --> 00:13:54,168
You know, I used to be a lawyer in London.

183
00:13:54,668 --> 00:13:56,003
That sounds a bit steep.

184
00:13:56,253 --> 00:13:57,796
It's average for a case like this.

185
00:13:57,921 --> 00:13:59,590
Besides, I do a lot of pro bono work.

186
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:01,425
You would pay for that.

187
00:14:01,967 --> 00:14:03,802
Plus, I have to pay students, associates--

188
00:14:03,802 --> 00:14:06,930
Are you saying if I agree to pay 300,

189
00:14:07,848 --> 00:14:09,266
you will handle my appeal?

190
00:14:09,433 --> 00:14:10,517
No, not so far.

191
00:14:10,601 --> 00:14:12,269
It doesn't look like my kind of case.

192
00:14:14,229 --> 00:14:15,397
I'm not a hired gun.

193
00:14:16,148 --> 00:14:18,859
I got to feel there's some moral
or constitutional issue at stake.

194
00:14:18,859 --> 00:14:20,903
But I'm absolutely innocent,

195
00:14:21,570 --> 00:14:24,406
and my civil liberties
have been egregiously violated.

196
00:14:25,490 --> 00:14:27,701
I've got two black kids
facing the electric chair

197
00:14:27,868 --> 00:14:29,494
for a crime they did not commit.

198
00:14:30,746 --> 00:14:31,914
They are innocent.

199
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:36,585
Well, before you assume I'm guilty,

200
00:14:37,377 --> 00:14:38,504
won't you hear my story?

201
00:14:38,795 --> 00:14:40,881
Nope. Never let defendants explain.

202
00:14:41,048 --> 00:14:42,925
Puts most of them in an awkward position.

203
00:14:43,967 --> 00:14:45,052
How do you mean?

204
00:14:45,636 --> 00:14:46,720
Lying.

205
00:14:48,555 --> 00:14:51,058
But I give you my word as a gentleman.

206
00:14:52,059 --> 00:14:53,393
Oh... well...

207
00:14:58,899 --> 00:15:02,194
Well, won't you at least read the record
and

208
00:15:02,653 --> 00:15:06,448
see if you can find something... well...

209
00:15:06,865 --> 00:15:07,950
constitutional?

210
00:15:11,119 --> 00:15:12,746
You do have one thing in your favor.

211
00:15:15,624 --> 00:15:16,708
Everybody hates you.

212
00:15:23,257 --> 00:15:24,341
Well, that's a start.

213
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:26,468
Come on, Maxwell!

214
00:15:26,802 --> 00:15:27,886
Get up! Come on, Max!

215
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,013
- He was hit! He--
- Oh! Hit!

216
00:15:30,138 --> 00:15:31,223
Yes!

217
00:15:34,476 --> 00:15:35,561
So what do you think?

218
00:15:35,811 --> 00:15:37,145
Oh, he did it. He did it.

219
00:15:37,312 --> 00:15:38,981
Of course he did it. Can we win?

220
00:15:39,731 --> 00:15:40,816
Hundred to one against.

221
00:15:40,983 --> 00:15:43,318
The maid.
The maid shmeared him on both comas.

222
00:15:43,485 --> 00:15:45,779
Look at it. At this. It says here...

223
00:15:46,113 --> 00:15:47,948
After you realized that Mrs. von Bulow

224
00:15:48,115 --> 00:15:50,492
had not gotten up,
what did you do?

225
00:15:50,659 --> 00:15:51,994
I came downstairs,

226
00:15:52,995 --> 00:15:55,414
and Mr. von Bulow said that madame

227
00:15:55,581 --> 00:15:57,082
had a very sore throat,

228
00:15:57,583 --> 00:15:59,251
<i>and I didn't have to do any work,</i>

229
00:16:00,085 --> 00:16:02,004
<i>and she was in bed all day.</i>

230
00:16:13,974 --> 00:16:15,058
What are you doing?

231
00:16:16,435 --> 00:16:17,728
Did we ring for you?

232
00:16:25,277 --> 00:16:26,904
She's ice cold.

233
00:16:27,946 --> 00:16:30,199
Madame! Mrs. von Bulow!

234
00:16:30,365 --> 00:16:31,450
Leave her alone.

235
00:16:32,075 --> 00:16:33,160
She's sleeping.

236
00:16:34,161 --> 00:16:35,412
She was drinking last night.

237
00:16:35,412 --> 00:16:36,496
We didn't get any rest.

238
00:16:36,663 --> 00:16:38,207
She's not sleeping.

239
00:16:39,833 --> 00:16:41,502
She's unconscious.

240
00:16:42,586 --> 00:16:44,755
- You must call a doctor.
- Maria.

241
00:16:47,549 --> 00:16:48,634
Go on!

242
00:16:58,602 --> 00:17:00,938
<i>A half hour later, she had not moved.</i>

243
00:17:01,522 --> 00:17:03,815
<i>I went back and forth all morning.</i>

244
00:17:04,566 --> 00:17:06,235
...strain over the last several days.

245
00:17:06,276 --> 00:17:07,819
<i>Finally, mid-afternoon,</i>

246
00:17:07,986 --> 00:17:10,739
<i>Mr. von Bulow spoke to Dr. Paultees,</i>

247
00:17:11,490 --> 00:17:13,158
<i>but he lied to doctor.</i>

248
00:17:13,992 --> 00:17:14,868
Yes, she's sleeping now,

249
00:17:15,035 --> 00:17:17,329
but she was up earlier this morning
to the bathroom

250
00:17:17,329 --> 00:17:18,413
and had a soft drink.

251
00:17:18,497 --> 00:17:20,499
So I don't think
there's any cause for alarm.

252
00:17:20,749 --> 00:17:22,376
<i>But she never moved,</i>

253
00:17:22,835 --> 00:17:23,919
<i>never got up.</i>

254
00:17:24,795 --> 00:17:27,756
<i>She was lying
in the same position all day.</i>

255
00:17:29,132 --> 00:17:30,676
<i>Later, her heart stops,</i>

256
00:17:30,843 --> 00:17:33,095
<i>and Dr. Paultees, he comes and saves her.</i>

257
00:17:34,638 --> 00:17:36,014
<i>After they go to the hospital,</i>

258
00:17:36,139 --> 00:17:37,474
<i>I'm changing the sheets.</i>

259
00:17:37,766 --> 00:17:39,434
<i>I find a puddle of urine.</i>

260
00:17:40,602 --> 00:17:42,271
<i>If madame went to the bathroom,</i>

261
00:17:42,437 --> 00:17:44,314
<i>she would not have peed in her bed.</i>

262
00:17:45,065 --> 00:17:45,732
<i>Right.</i>

263
00:17:45,983 --> 00:17:47,442
<i>Why would Claus lie about that?</i>

264
00:17:48,193 --> 00:17:51,071
Well, it's suspicious,
but hardly criminal.

265
00:17:51,446 --> 00:17:52,614
How about the second coma?

266
00:17:52,823 --> 00:17:54,992
Well, Maria wasn't in Newport
for that one.

267
00:17:55,576 --> 00:17:57,286
<i>But shortly before the second coma...</i>

268
00:17:57,452 --> 00:17:58,620
<i>I'm cleaning up their room</i>

269
00:17:58,745 --> 00:18:01,290
<i>when I find Mr. von Bulow's
white canvas bag</i>

270
00:18:01,456 --> 00:18:02,541
<i>packed for Newport.</i>

271
00:18:03,458 --> 00:18:06,295
<i>Inside, there's a little black bag:</i>

272
00:18:06,962 --> 00:18:10,215
<i>a bottle of insulin,
a syringe, and needles.</i>

273
00:18:10,632 --> 00:18:11,717
Alexander!

274
00:18:11,758 --> 00:18:12,843
Alexander, come here!

275
00:18:17,097 --> 00:18:18,182
Insulin.

276
00:18:19,266 --> 00:18:21,268
For what, insulin?

277
00:18:21,643 --> 00:18:23,395
My lady is not diabetic.

278
00:18:28,984 --> 00:18:30,027
<i>Three weeks later,</i>

279
00:18:30,444 --> 00:18:33,071
<i>Sunny's lying unconscious
in a freezing bathroom</i>

280
00:18:33,238 --> 00:18:35,449
with her nightgown hiked over her waist.

281
00:18:36,033 --> 00:18:37,075
If I was on that jury,

282
00:18:37,492 --> 00:18:38,869
I would have voted to convict.

283
00:18:39,286 --> 00:18:40,579
Then you're taking the case?

284
00:18:41,747 --> 00:18:43,290
It reminds me of my Hitler dream.

285
00:18:45,292 --> 00:18:46,126
You know, Hitler calls up.

286
00:18:46,293 --> 00:18:47,753
He's alive, needs a lawyer.

287
00:18:48,962 --> 00:18:51,215
I say, "Sure, come on over."

288
00:18:52,549 --> 00:18:53,634
Then I have to decide.

289
00:18:54,009 --> 00:18:55,928
Do I take the case or do I kill him?

290
00:18:56,094 --> 00:18:57,554
You? No question.

291
00:18:58,180 --> 00:18:59,306
I would take the case.

292
00:19:00,015 --> 00:19:01,058
Then kill him.

293
00:19:02,601 --> 00:19:04,937
I'm a maniac.
I need someone with your judgment,

294
00:19:05,103 --> 00:19:08,232
someone to watch what I'm doing,
occasionally remind me about the law.

295
00:19:09,107 --> 00:19:10,526
When can I see the transcripts?

296
00:19:10,943 --> 00:19:12,861
You're a former prosecutor, conservative.

297
00:19:13,028 --> 00:19:14,571
We agree on nothing.

298
00:19:14,780 --> 00:19:16,448
But you're smarter than
the Rhode Island DA.

299
00:19:16,448 --> 00:19:18,617
If I can beat your arguments,
I can destroy his.

300
00:19:19,159 --> 00:19:21,995
Look, Rhode Island is
the most corrupt state in the country.

301
00:19:22,162 --> 00:19:23,205
Everything is political.

302
00:19:23,330 --> 00:19:24,790
I don't think that way. You do.

303
00:19:25,123 --> 00:19:28,418
I have to see the big picture.
I can't afford to immerse myself in facts,

304
00:19:28,585 --> 00:19:30,254
but we must know the facts.

305
00:19:30,629 --> 00:19:31,797
Out of all my ex-students,

306
00:19:31,964 --> 00:19:34,424
no one can assimilate information
as quickly as you two.

307
00:19:34,925 --> 00:19:36,718
Well, I agree with that assessment.

308
00:19:42,182 --> 00:19:43,016
You're out of your mind.

309
00:19:43,183 --> 00:19:44,977
I only have 45 days to file.

310
00:19:45,269 --> 00:19:46,395
I can't do it without you.

311
00:19:48,730 --> 00:19:50,315
Look, Sarah,
I know you don't want to come back--

312
00:19:50,315 --> 00:19:51,817
Is this strictly professional?

313
00:19:56,446 --> 00:19:57,531
Better be.

314
00:19:58,907 --> 00:19:59,616
That's wonderful.

315
00:19:59,783 --> 00:20:02,160
Now, I want the best people in the world
on our side,

316
00:20:02,411 --> 00:20:04,037
the most prestigious experts,

317
00:20:04,329 --> 00:20:06,665
Nobel prize-winning scientists.

318
00:20:06,999 --> 00:20:08,750
Some of your colleagues
at Harvard, perhaps.

319
00:20:08,750 --> 00:20:10,210
Hey, hey, wa--wait a minute, Claus.

320
00:20:10,210 --> 00:20:12,129
Look, we got a little problem there, okay?

321
00:20:12,296 --> 00:20:14,548
People like that, we can't control.

322
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,466
They'll find one incriminating fact,

323
00:20:16,466 --> 00:20:17,634
they'll tell the whole world.

324
00:20:17,634 --> 00:20:18,719
I'm not afraid, Alan.

325
00:20:19,136 --> 00:20:20,804
Let the chips fall where they may.

326
00:20:21,513 --> 00:20:23,182
That's what an innocent man would say.

327
00:20:24,725 --> 00:20:25,851
I know.

328
00:20:32,566 --> 00:20:33,859
That just came for you, Dad.

329
00:20:35,944 --> 00:20:38,363
My daughter, Cosima. She never doubted me.

330
00:20:39,323 --> 00:20:40,699
She loves Alex and Ala dearly,

331
00:20:40,866 --> 00:20:43,076
and siding with me
has cost her their affections.

332
00:20:47,664 --> 00:20:49,249
I don't know what I would have done.

333
00:20:54,796 --> 00:20:57,007
Okay, look, I said
I didn't want to hear your story,

334
00:20:57,007 --> 00:20:58,258
but I do need some information.

335
00:20:58,258 --> 00:20:59,343
'Course.

336
00:21:00,677 --> 00:21:03,972
Okay, I gather they'll, the older
children, deny Sunny had a problem

337
00:21:04,097 --> 00:21:05,224
with pills and alcohol?

338
00:21:05,307 --> 00:21:06,892
Spectacular understatement.

339
00:21:07,226 --> 00:21:08,644
So there must be somebody
who saw it, right?

340
00:21:08,644 --> 00:21:10,604
Some witness, somebody, somewhere?
A friend?

341
00:21:10,687 --> 00:21:12,147
- You want affidavits?
- Yes, I do.

342
00:21:12,147 --> 00:21:12,814
I'll get them.

343
00:21:13,190 --> 00:21:13,732
You'll get them?

344
00:21:14,107 --> 00:21:17,361
You should also know, the drugs
prescribed for me were taken by Sunny.

345
00:21:17,528 --> 00:21:18,862
That's a lot of drugs, Claus.

346
00:21:19,029 --> 00:21:23,033
But the prosecution's allegation
that I knew about syringes, injections,

347
00:21:23,534 --> 00:21:24,701
totally accurate.

348
00:21:25,744 --> 00:21:29,122
Sunny and I used to give ourselves
B-12 injections in the late sixties.

349
00:21:29,289 --> 00:21:30,165
It was quite the fad in London.

350
00:21:30,332 --> 00:21:31,708
Can I explain something to you?

351
00:21:32,084 --> 00:21:33,377
The less I know from you,

352
00:21:33,710 --> 00:21:34,837
the more options I have.

353
00:21:35,295 --> 00:21:36,630
When you tell me "the truth,"

354
00:21:36,672 --> 00:21:39,675
you limit me to a defense that lines up
with what you have to say.

355
00:21:40,217 --> 00:21:42,553
But isn't the truth
the simplest way, Alan?

356
00:21:43,637 --> 00:21:46,557
I mean, why did I stay all day
at Sunny's side

357
00:21:46,723 --> 00:21:48,267
without calling a doctor?

358
00:21:49,309 --> 00:21:52,145
Because Sunny detested doctors.

359
00:21:52,563 --> 00:21:54,273
If we called one
without her approval,

360
00:21:54,273 --> 00:21:55,357
she went berserk.

361
00:21:55,607 --> 00:21:56,483
Once she broke her hip

362
00:21:56,692 --> 00:21:58,569
and didn't go to hospital
for two full days.

363
00:21:58,569 --> 00:22:00,279
Claus, did you hear what I just said?

364
00:22:00,654 --> 00:22:02,948
Of course.
Did you hear the judge sentenced me?

365
00:22:03,115 --> 00:22:05,617
Sorry. 30 years is
a pretty stiff sentence.

366
00:22:06,285 --> 00:22:07,703
Twice trying to murder one's wife,

367
00:22:07,703 --> 00:22:09,204
anything less would be monstrous.

368
00:22:10,455 --> 00:22:11,957
But for a man like myself,

369
00:22:13,876 --> 00:22:14,960
who did nothing...

370
00:22:18,881 --> 00:22:20,132
What I wanted to ask,

371
00:22:20,799 --> 00:22:22,217
if we lose the appeal,

372
00:22:23,093 --> 00:22:25,012
will I have the chance later

373
00:22:25,179 --> 00:22:28,098
to set my affairs in order
before I'm incarcerated?

374
00:22:29,516 --> 00:22:31,768
In Europe, a gentleman
is given the opportunity

375
00:22:31,935 --> 00:22:33,145
to end things properly.

376
00:22:37,566 --> 00:22:38,650
Come on, Claus.

377
00:22:38,734 --> 00:22:42,112
We are each the keeper
of our own souls, Alan.

378
00:22:45,574 --> 00:22:46,742
Okay, two big problems.

379
00:22:47,743 --> 00:22:50,078
The case against him is very strong.

380
00:22:50,829 --> 00:22:52,122
But probably more important,

381
00:22:52,247 --> 00:22:54,374
the legal conviction
isn't the only conviction

382
00:22:54,541 --> 00:22:55,626
that we got to reverse.

383
00:22:56,335 --> 00:22:57,878
The more dangerous conviction

384
00:22:58,045 --> 00:23:01,215
is the absolute certainty
of the American people

385
00:23:01,381 --> 00:23:02,758
that Claus is guilty.

386
00:23:02,925 --> 00:23:06,011
Finding grounds for reversal
won't be enough here.

387
00:23:06,553 --> 00:23:10,557
Judges on the Rhode Island Supreme Court
will have to go home to their spouses

388
00:23:10,724 --> 00:23:13,101
and explain why they reversed.

389
00:23:13,268 --> 00:23:16,522
To get them to do that,
we must completely obliterate

390
00:23:16,688 --> 00:23:19,566
every single aspect of the state's case.

391
00:23:20,067 --> 00:23:22,778
Destroy both the medical case
and their witnesses

392
00:23:22,945 --> 00:23:26,240
so the judges have
no possible way to affirm.

393
00:23:27,282 --> 00:23:30,118
Total victory,
or we are dead in the water.

394
00:23:30,285 --> 00:23:33,914
Now, I assume that
you've all had an opportunity

395
00:23:34,081 --> 00:23:35,207
to look at the transcripts,

396
00:23:35,207 --> 00:23:36,667
first impressions, yeah, Minnie?

397
00:23:36,834 --> 00:23:38,460
I think this whole thing stinks.

398
00:23:39,294 --> 00:23:41,630
I think Claus von Bulow stinks.

399
00:23:42,256 --> 00:23:45,425
He's obviously guilty
of something pretty despicable.

400
00:23:45,634 --> 00:23:46,927
And if we free him,

401
00:23:47,386 --> 00:23:49,221
we become partners in his crime,

402
00:23:49,388 --> 00:23:51,265
accessories after the fact.

403
00:23:51,849 --> 00:23:53,183
I'm really shocked,

404
00:23:53,559 --> 00:23:55,435
with your record
defending the poor and oppressed,

405
00:23:55,435 --> 00:23:56,895
that you've taken this case.

406
00:24:00,274 --> 00:24:01,942
I won't have anything to do with it,

407
00:24:03,527 --> 00:24:05,654
and I hope my fellow students
won't either.

408
00:24:06,572 --> 00:24:07,656
Good-bye.

409
00:24:08,448 --> 00:24:11,285
May I exercise my First Amendment right
to free speech?

410
00:24:15,163 --> 00:24:16,915
If lawyers only defended innocent clients,

411
00:24:16,915 --> 00:24:19,001
there would be 10 defense
lawyers in the entire country,

412
00:24:19,001 --> 00:24:20,961
and none of you
would be able to find a job.

413
00:24:21,253 --> 00:24:23,505
Why help guilty people get off?

414
00:24:25,257 --> 00:24:27,551
Oh, you're sure he's guilty,
100 percent sure.

415
00:24:27,843 --> 00:24:30,262
He had a lawyer. He had a trial.

416
00:24:30,762 --> 00:24:32,097
He was convicted.

417
00:24:32,514 --> 00:24:34,057
Are you sure he had a fair trial?

418
00:24:34,683 --> 00:24:35,434
Come on!

419
00:24:35,601 --> 00:24:38,562
It's the basis of the whole legal system.

420
00:24:38,937 --> 00:24:41,773
Everyone gets a defense.

421
00:24:42,524 --> 00:24:44,026
So the system is there

422
00:24:44,318 --> 00:24:47,154
for the one innocent person
who is falsely accused.

423
00:24:48,906 --> 00:24:49,990
Okay, look.

424
00:24:51,074 --> 00:24:53,076
Say it's you, okay?

425
00:24:53,911 --> 00:24:55,037
You decide...

426
00:24:55,579 --> 00:24:57,122
you decide to get a divorce.

427
00:24:58,290 --> 00:24:59,958
You're going to divorce your husband.

428
00:25:00,167 --> 00:25:01,251
A week later,

429
00:25:01,835 --> 00:25:03,795
you're accused of molesting your son.

430
00:25:05,005 --> 00:25:06,632
Oh, no, now don't give me that look.

431
00:25:06,798 --> 00:25:08,467
Stuff like this happens all the time.

432
00:25:08,842 --> 00:25:10,177
Suddenly, you're alone.

433
00:25:11,094 --> 00:25:12,179
You're hated.

434
00:25:12,513 --> 00:25:13,931
It's--it's a nightmare.

435
00:25:15,057 --> 00:25:18,018
Everyone assumes that you are guilty.

436
00:25:18,685 --> 00:25:22,189
Even the mailman is beginning to
look at you a little--a little funny.

437
00:25:22,689 --> 00:25:25,025
You only got one person
who believes in you.

438
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,069
There's only one person you can trust,

439
00:25:29,029 --> 00:25:30,113
your lawyer.

440
00:25:30,405 --> 00:25:32,032
Yeah. Okay.

441
00:25:32,658 --> 00:25:34,701
So, someone's got to defend Claus.

442
00:25:35,244 --> 00:25:36,328
But why you?

443
00:25:36,370 --> 00:25:37,454
Why us?

444
00:25:38,830 --> 00:25:40,290
Look, you're my student.

445
00:25:40,457 --> 00:25:41,333
Y-you have a choice.

446
00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:43,460
You d--you don't have to do
anything you don't want to do.

447
00:25:43,460 --> 00:25:44,586
That is your choice.

448
00:25:45,420 --> 00:25:47,005
The reason I take cases,

449
00:25:47,172 --> 00:25:49,341
and here, I'm unlike most other lawyers

450
00:25:49,508 --> 00:25:52,135
who are not professors
and therefore have to make a living,

451
00:25:52,427 --> 00:25:55,389
I take cases 'cause I get pissed off,

452
00:25:56,723 --> 00:25:58,851
and I am pissed off here.

453
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,479
The family hired a private prosecutor.

454
00:26:03,689 --> 00:26:04,773
Unacceptable!

455
00:26:05,023 --> 00:26:07,651
They conducted a private search.

456
00:26:08,318 --> 00:26:10,195
Now, we let them get away with that,

457
00:26:10,779 --> 00:26:12,781
rich people won't go to the cops anymore.

458
00:26:12,948 --> 00:26:14,366
You know what they're gonna do?

459
00:26:14,449 --> 00:26:17,911
They're going to get their own lawyers
to collect evidence.

460
00:26:18,328 --> 00:26:21,540
And then they are going
to choose which evidence

461
00:26:21,707 --> 00:26:24,042
they feel like passing on to the DA,

462
00:26:24,376 --> 00:26:27,629
and the next victim
isn't going to be rich like von Bulow.

463
00:26:27,963 --> 00:26:30,132
But it's gonna be
some poor schnook in Detroit

464
00:26:30,382 --> 00:26:34,428
who can't afford
or can't find a decent lawyer.

465
00:26:40,809 --> 00:26:43,187
I think it's a little more complicated

466
00:26:43,770 --> 00:26:45,856
than your simple moral superiority.

467
00:26:47,691 --> 00:26:48,775
No?

468
00:26:49,443 --> 00:26:51,361
I agree von Bulow is guilty,

469
00:26:51,528 --> 00:26:53,697
but that's the fun,
I mean, that's the challenge.

470
00:26:53,864 --> 00:26:55,365
See, now there is a lawyer.

471
00:26:57,910 --> 00:26:58,994
What?

472
00:27:00,621 --> 00:27:01,705
Yeah, okay. Put him on.

473
00:27:02,956 --> 00:27:05,209
Alan, a rather unsavory character

474
00:27:05,375 --> 00:27:07,711
called David Marriott contacted me

475
00:27:08,212 --> 00:27:12,674
claiming to have information about
a drug delivery at Clarendon Court.

476
00:27:13,008 --> 00:27:14,510
Okay. Now, where does he live?

477
00:27:14,801 --> 00:27:15,511
<i>Somewhere in Wakefield.</i>

478
00:27:15,677 --> 00:27:17,179
Okay, we--no, we'll get on it.

479
00:27:18,347 --> 00:27:22,351
Tom, I want you to get
a private investigator

480
00:27:22,518 --> 00:27:25,896
to dig into a David Marriott
who lives in Wakefield.

481
00:27:27,397 --> 00:27:29,316
Okay. How are we going to win this case?

482
00:27:29,608 --> 00:27:31,318
The judge made lots of mistakes.

483
00:27:31,485 --> 00:27:33,153
Judges always make mistakes.

484
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:34,154
How are we going to win?

485
00:27:34,321 --> 00:27:35,697
All right, one issue leaps up,

486
00:27:35,864 --> 00:27:37,241
this lawyer, Brillhoffer,

487
00:27:37,407 --> 00:27:39,660
<i>interviewed Alex, Maria, everybody.</i>

488
00:27:39,826 --> 00:27:41,370
<i>He was the first person
to hear their stories.</i>

489
00:27:41,370 --> 00:27:43,205
He took notes and
he used those notes at trial

490
00:27:43,205 --> 00:27:44,623
against a defense witness.

491
00:27:44,790 --> 00:27:46,667
But the defense never saw the notes.

492
00:27:46,834 --> 00:27:48,502
The judge wouldn't let us have them.

493
00:27:48,919 --> 00:27:51,255
This alone seems like sufficient grounds.
It's perfect <i>Brady</i>.

494
00:27:51,255 --> 00:27:51,964
Okay, fine.

495
00:27:52,172 --> 00:27:53,674
Why don't you draft a letter

496
00:27:53,841 --> 00:27:55,926
writing to Brillhoffer
asking him very nicely

497
00:27:56,093 --> 00:27:57,344
to send us his notes?

498
00:27:57,594 --> 00:27:59,596
Yeah, right. He'll fax them right over.

499
00:28:00,097 --> 00:28:01,181
Yeah, right.

500
00:28:01,932 --> 00:28:04,101
We could win on this issue alone
and he knows it.

501
00:28:04,184 --> 00:28:05,686
You know it, I know it.

502
00:28:05,936 --> 00:28:07,437
We'll just make sure he knows it.

503
00:28:08,021 --> 00:28:10,315
Now... Nancy and Dobbs...

504
00:28:10,482 --> 00:28:11,024
Yes?

505
00:28:11,191 --> 00:28:13,235
They're going to attack
the medical testimony.

506
00:28:14,486 --> 00:28:17,281
Our Rhode Island counsel, Peter Macintosh,

507
00:28:17,698 --> 00:28:20,117
he will analyze the state Supreme Court.

508
00:28:20,450 --> 00:28:22,953
I think the rest of us
should begin dissecting the transcripts,

509
00:28:22,953 --> 00:28:25,247
errors, inconsistencies, anything unusual.

510
00:28:25,414 --> 00:28:26,623
Okay, great. Now, remember,

511
00:28:26,707 --> 00:28:28,333
most cases are won in the field,

512
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:29,585
not in court.

513
00:28:32,129 --> 00:28:33,213
Minnie?

514
00:28:35,340 --> 00:28:36,967
You want to work with Sarah on this?

515
00:28:38,177 --> 00:28:39,094
You may learn something.

516
00:28:39,261 --> 00:28:41,221
- Come on, Minnie.
- Come on, Minnie.

517
00:28:41,763 --> 00:28:42,973
- Minnie!
- Come on.

518
00:28:43,223 --> 00:28:44,308
Please?

519
00:28:44,766 --> 00:28:45,851
Come on.

520
00:28:47,352 --> 00:28:49,021
'Course I don't trust David Marriott.

521
00:28:49,062 --> 00:28:50,314
I don't know David Marriott.

522
00:28:50,522 --> 00:28:51,899
But if he knew Alex von Auersberg--

523
00:28:51,899 --> 00:28:53,692
You're crazy,
I don't know who you think you are.

524
00:28:53,692 --> 00:28:54,776
You Perry Mason?

525
00:28:55,527 --> 00:28:57,696
Let our private investigator
interview this jerk.

526
00:28:57,946 --> 00:28:59,156
It's stupid, it's arrogant,

527
00:28:59,239 --> 00:29:00,324
and it's unprofessional.

528
00:29:00,407 --> 00:29:02,659
- It's fun.
- Fun? This guy is a sleaze.

529
00:29:03,285 --> 00:29:04,995
You don't know what he's going to try.

530
00:29:05,162 --> 00:29:06,872
What, is he going to shoot me?

531
00:29:07,623 --> 00:29:08,832
Come on, I'm from Brooklyn.

532
00:29:15,339 --> 00:29:18,008
Okay, look, I'll stand by the window
every 10 minutes, okay?

533
00:29:18,675 --> 00:29:20,093
That way you can know I'm safe.

534
00:29:22,012 --> 00:29:23,347
I had this friend...

535
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:24,806
Gilbert Jackson...

536
00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:26,767
interior decorator.

537
00:29:27,768 --> 00:29:30,103
Flaming queen, but a very excellent guy.

538
00:29:32,898 --> 00:29:35,025
He introduced me to Alex von Auersberg.

539
00:29:36,652 --> 00:29:37,736
You sure it was Alex?

540
00:29:38,445 --> 00:29:41,198
We had dinner a few times, drinks.

541
00:29:41,698 --> 00:29:43,867
All I knew, Alex was some rich kid.

542
00:29:45,202 --> 00:29:46,286
So sometimes,

543
00:29:46,912 --> 00:29:49,289
this is like, uh, summer of '77,

544
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,042
I'd motor to Newport for some R and R.

545
00:29:52,709 --> 00:29:54,586
Gilbert asked me to bring Alex a package.

546
00:29:56,213 --> 00:29:57,840
I figured interior decoration.

547
00:29:58,632 --> 00:29:59,716
Maybe drapes.

548
00:30:00,384 --> 00:30:01,468
Like six times.

549
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:02,970
So I'd call Alex.

550
00:30:03,220 --> 00:30:04,638
How'd you get his phone number?

551
00:30:05,180 --> 00:30:06,265
From Gilbert.

552
00:30:06,431 --> 00:30:07,516
You still have it?

553
00:30:07,975 --> 00:30:09,059
Maybe.

554
00:30:09,977 --> 00:30:11,061
I'm that kind of guy.

555
00:30:37,754 --> 00:30:38,839
Here.

556
00:30:45,179 --> 00:30:46,555
One night I got curious.

557
00:30:47,848 --> 00:30:49,016
Opened the package.

558
00:30:50,184 --> 00:30:51,768
Fucking pharmacy, man.

559
00:30:52,519 --> 00:30:55,355
Needles, syringes, white powder.

560
00:30:55,689 --> 00:30:57,357
Nice selection of pills.

561
00:30:57,524 --> 00:30:58,609
Demerol.

562
00:30:58,942 --> 00:31:00,027
Like a drugstore.

563
00:31:02,154 --> 00:31:04,740
You delivered drugs six times
and didn't know it?

564
00:31:08,035 --> 00:31:09,119
Stupid, huh?

565
00:31:10,370 --> 00:31:11,705
Then Gilbert asked me again.

566
00:31:12,915 --> 00:31:14,374
I couldn't say no, but this time

567
00:31:14,416 --> 00:31:16,376
I made Alex open the package
in front of me.

568
00:31:17,127 --> 00:31:18,462
<i>Voila.</i>

569
00:31:20,839 --> 00:31:23,300
I go, "Awful lot of pharmaceuticals
for one person."

570
00:31:24,134 --> 00:31:26,720
He goes, "Oh, I give some to my mom

571
00:31:26,887 --> 00:31:28,138
to keep her off my back."

572
00:31:29,973 --> 00:31:32,809
Few weeks later,
Gilbert gets mistaken for a softball.

573
00:31:33,727 --> 00:31:35,312
Two guys bash his head in.

574
00:31:35,896 --> 00:31:38,315
Alex calls me, totally urinary.

575
00:31:38,815 --> 00:31:40,275
Will the cops find his phone number

576
00:31:40,275 --> 00:31:42,319
and fuck up his trust fund or something?

577
00:31:43,820 --> 00:31:45,155
Well, that's the fat.

578
00:31:46,657 --> 00:31:47,741
That's the skinny.

579
00:31:49,034 --> 00:31:50,118
You like it?

580
00:31:51,745 --> 00:31:54,331
You traffic with drug dealers
and drag queens.

581
00:31:54,498 --> 00:31:55,666
You have a part-time job.

582
00:31:55,832 --> 00:31:57,543
You ride around in rented limos.

583
00:31:57,709 --> 00:31:58,919
All in all, I would have to say

584
00:31:58,919 --> 00:32:00,838
you're probably
the least impressive witness

585
00:32:00,838 --> 00:32:01,922
I've ever seen.

586
00:32:02,589 --> 00:32:03,674
Wait a minute.

587
00:32:07,803 --> 00:32:10,180
You think I'm scum, don't you?

588
00:32:11,265 --> 00:32:13,225
Blow it out your ass.

589
00:32:14,726 --> 00:32:16,270
You want a witness to back me up?

590
00:32:16,979 --> 00:32:18,063
I'll get one.

591
00:32:18,730 --> 00:32:19,815
And, hey,

592
00:32:20,148 --> 00:32:22,526
maybe I'll see you at the Celtics, huh?

593
00:32:34,454 --> 00:32:36,331
I am not going to let them execute you.

594
00:32:36,498 --> 00:32:37,583
You're not going to die.

595
00:32:38,333 --> 00:32:39,418
Look, Johnny, th--

596
00:32:40,294 --> 00:32:42,087
Johnny, this is going to be
a lot easier on me

597
00:32:42,087 --> 00:32:44,756
if you don't cry, okay? I--I kn--

598
00:32:44,923 --> 00:32:46,633
I know your brother's hysterical, I--

599
00:32:46,967 --> 00:32:49,511
Number o--they always set a date
for the execution,

600
00:32:49,678 --> 00:32:51,054
and they always postpone it...

601
00:32:51,972 --> 00:32:53,599
He's great when he's like this, huh?

602
00:32:54,474 --> 00:32:55,267
That's right.

603
00:32:55,434 --> 00:32:57,686
I just wish he had something left
for the people around him.

604
00:32:57,686 --> 00:32:58,478
What are you talking to me about money?

605
00:32:58,645 --> 00:33:00,063
Did I ever ask you about money?

606
00:33:00,355 --> 00:33:02,191
Anyway, it's nice to have you back here.

607
00:33:04,067 --> 00:33:05,569
Okay. Say hello to your brother.

608
00:33:06,486 --> 00:33:07,571
Right.

609
00:33:07,821 --> 00:33:08,906
Okay.

610
00:33:16,830 --> 00:33:18,540
Okay, who's got what?

611
00:33:21,293 --> 00:33:23,253
Uh, yeah. Maria's testimony.

612
00:33:23,545 --> 00:33:26,340
She says Sunny did take Valium
prescribed for Claus.

613
00:33:26,715 --> 00:33:28,133
Okay, score one for von Bulow.

614
00:33:28,300 --> 00:33:30,636
And this Jamie Smather prescription?

615
00:33:30,802 --> 00:33:31,678
Who's Jamie Smather?

616
00:33:31,887 --> 00:33:34,932
Three-hundred-pound redheaded hooker
in pigtails and white boots.

617
00:33:35,098 --> 00:33:37,059
She supplied Claus with Valium.

618
00:33:37,309 --> 00:33:39,895
He had a gorgeous mistress
and he went with an ugly whore?

619
00:33:40,270 --> 00:33:42,731
You know, there's some things
even mistresses won't do.

620
00:33:45,025 --> 00:33:46,109
Like what?

621
00:33:46,652 --> 00:33:47,736
I-I'm not telling.

622
00:33:49,446 --> 00:33:51,698
Anyway, Maria swears

623
00:33:51,865 --> 00:33:55,077
she first saw this Jamie Smather
prescription February 14th,

624
00:33:55,494 --> 00:33:57,579
and then again February 28th.

625
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:58,705
So?

626
00:33:58,914 --> 00:34:00,832
It wasn't prescribed till the 28th.

627
00:34:01,208 --> 00:34:03,335
You're not suggesting she's lying?

628
00:34:03,919 --> 00:34:06,046
Okay, how about Maria's insulin?
"For what, insulin"?

629
00:34:06,046 --> 00:34:07,589
- Anything more on that?
- Not yet.

630
00:34:09,925 --> 00:34:11,385
Something about that bothers me.

631
00:34:13,762 --> 00:34:14,847
Okay, who's next?

632
00:34:15,681 --> 00:34:16,849
Brillhoffer wrote back.

633
00:34:18,350 --> 00:34:19,810
He's very attached to his notes.

634
00:34:23,272 --> 00:34:24,815
"I am satisfied

635
00:34:25,607 --> 00:34:27,776
that there is not a scrap of paper
in my files

636
00:34:27,943 --> 00:34:31,071
that might even arguably
be viewed as exculpatory."

637
00:34:31,238 --> 00:34:32,364
English translation?

638
00:34:32,531 --> 00:34:34,658
He says he doesn't have
anything that'd help us.

639
00:34:37,411 --> 00:34:38,495
You with me?

640
00:34:38,871 --> 00:34:39,496
Pay dirt.

641
00:34:39,830 --> 00:34:40,581
What's pay dirt?

642
00:34:40,747 --> 00:34:41,832
He's a lawyer.

643
00:34:41,999 --> 00:34:44,501
If he really didn't have anything,
he'd give it to us...

644
00:34:45,002 --> 00:34:45,794
but there's something there

645
00:34:45,961 --> 00:34:48,046
and he's gonna fight like hell
to hold onto it.

646
00:34:48,463 --> 00:34:49,673
I will bet my fee

647
00:34:50,132 --> 00:34:51,925
that no one remembered seeing insulin

648
00:34:52,634 --> 00:34:54,303
until after the lab report came back.

649
00:34:54,803 --> 00:34:55,971
So... you're suggesting...

650
00:34:55,971 --> 00:34:57,055
Memory enhancement.

651
00:34:57,931 --> 00:34:59,141
It might be more than that.

652
00:34:59,224 --> 00:35:00,309
Possibly.

653
00:35:02,561 --> 00:35:03,645
A frame-up.

654
00:35:04,271 --> 00:35:05,439
You mean by the kids?

655
00:35:05,939 --> 00:35:08,358
Where are you getting all this,
from Brillhoffer's letter?

656
00:35:08,358 --> 00:35:09,443
Pure deduction.

657
00:35:09,651 --> 00:35:14,323
A good lawyer is part psychiatrist,
detective, logician.

658
00:35:15,073 --> 00:35:15,824
A great lawyer--

659
00:35:16,033 --> 00:35:17,659
Never would have taken this case.

660
00:35:19,828 --> 00:35:21,038
If there's nothing more...

661
00:35:21,872 --> 00:35:23,207
has anybody read this?

662
00:35:25,375 --> 00:35:27,085
It's an interview with Truman Capote.

663
00:35:27,753 --> 00:35:29,546
He says when she was 19,

664
00:35:29,713 --> 00:35:31,173
Sunny von Bulow

665
00:35:31,340 --> 00:35:33,133
taught him how to inject drugs.

666
00:35:33,300 --> 00:35:34,384
Let me see that.

667
00:35:37,137 --> 00:35:40,140
Well, well, well, the famous professor.

668
00:35:40,307 --> 00:35:42,559
Alan, I'd like to introduce
my new girlfriend,

669
00:35:42,726 --> 00:35:45,896
- Andrea Reynolds.
- I'm not his girlfriend, I'm his savior.

670
00:35:46,063 --> 00:35:46,688
Perfectly true.

671
00:35:46,855 --> 00:35:49,233
Two days after the trial ended,
we fell in love.

672
00:35:49,483 --> 00:35:53,195
- It was really very, very dramatic.
- Yes, Andrea, Andrea, come on.

673
00:35:54,780 --> 00:35:57,991
Since then, I've devoted my life
to clearing his name.

674
00:35:58,450 --> 00:36:00,619
I made him hire you.

675
00:36:02,037 --> 00:36:03,789
"Get the Jew," I said.

676
00:36:05,165 --> 00:36:06,250
Darling...

677
00:36:07,209 --> 00:36:08,710
Can the Jew get down to business?

678
00:36:10,212 --> 00:36:11,505
We've got an affidavit.

679
00:36:12,631 --> 00:36:15,259
A Smythe, Mrs. Ruth Smythe,

680
00:36:15,926 --> 00:36:18,846
gave us an affidavit
corroborating Truman Capote.

681
00:36:19,429 --> 00:36:20,806
I have affidavits, too.

682
00:36:23,308 --> 00:36:24,393
Newport people.

683
00:36:24,518 --> 00:36:26,603
They describe Sunny taking pills,

684
00:36:26,854 --> 00:36:28,564
getting drunk and falling down...

685
00:36:28,981 --> 00:36:30,399
bumping into doorways,

686
00:36:30,607 --> 00:36:32,276
smearing lipstick all over her face.

687
00:36:32,651 --> 00:36:33,485
Not a very pretty picture.

688
00:36:33,694 --> 00:36:34,945
She did it, didn't she?

689
00:36:35,904 --> 00:36:37,656
Don't be a priss.

690
00:36:38,949 --> 00:36:39,741
Sunny was a lovely woman.

691
00:36:39,950 --> 00:36:41,034
Spoiled rotten.

692
00:36:41,869 --> 00:36:42,995
Yes, but lovely.

693
00:36:43,912 --> 00:36:44,955
Till she drank.

694
00:36:46,164 --> 00:36:49,126
Two drinks and she became... nasty,

695
00:36:49,334 --> 00:36:51,712
- irrational.
- All women are irrational, darling.

696
00:36:51,962 --> 00:36:53,213
Did we mention the priest?

697
00:36:53,463 --> 00:36:57,634
Oh. Marriott apparently
confided in a priest

698
00:36:58,135 --> 00:36:59,678
who's consented to talk to us.

699
00:37:02,639 --> 00:37:04,474
A Father Capello from Providence.

700
00:37:06,810 --> 00:37:07,895
Priest?

701
00:37:08,979 --> 00:37:10,772
Well, a priest is the ideal witness.

702
00:37:10,939 --> 00:37:12,816
- It's like getting the word of God.
- I checked.

703
00:37:12,816 --> 00:37:14,484
God is unavailable.

704
00:37:15,652 --> 00:37:16,236
If...

705
00:37:16,737 --> 00:37:18,322
if the priest comes through

706
00:37:18,488 --> 00:37:20,866
and we can get documentation
on Sunny's drug use,

707
00:37:21,325 --> 00:37:23,452
then self-injection
may be a plausible theory.

708
00:37:23,702 --> 00:37:25,162
There's no insulin in this case.

709
00:37:25,412 --> 00:37:26,955
Yeah, but people do use insulin,

710
00:37:27,456 --> 00:37:29,541
they use it for dieting,
it's not a prescription drug.

711
00:37:29,541 --> 00:37:31,043
Sunny was concerned about her weight.

712
00:37:31,043 --> 00:37:32,544
Maybe, but believe me, Alan...

713
00:37:33,378 --> 00:37:34,463
there's no insulin here.

714
00:37:38,926 --> 00:37:40,010
Really?

715
00:37:40,802 --> 00:37:41,929
How can you be so sure?

716
00:37:50,354 --> 00:37:51,438
Do you realize...

717
00:37:52,564 --> 00:37:55,609
with this case,
I'm looking for evidence to exonerate you?

718
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,820
But at the same time,
I'm also wondering...

719
00:38:00,364 --> 00:38:01,448
what really happened...

720
00:38:02,115 --> 00:38:03,200
who you are.

721
00:38:03,700 --> 00:38:04,952
Who would you like me to be?

722
00:38:09,081 --> 00:38:10,165
Your mother's death...

723
00:38:10,916 --> 00:38:12,000
what happened?

724
00:38:13,085 --> 00:38:15,170
I believe she had a heart problem.

725
00:38:16,171 --> 00:38:16,755
Really?

726
00:38:17,172 --> 00:38:18,841
The rumor in England is you killed her.

727
00:38:18,841 --> 00:38:20,217
Hey, wait a minute, Alan.

728
00:38:20,509 --> 00:38:22,678
Statute of limitations
ran out on that years ago.

729
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,763
There's rumors also that I killed my aunt.

730
00:38:27,850 --> 00:38:29,518
And that I'm a necrophiliac,

731
00:38:30,060 --> 00:38:31,770
who injected Sunny with insulin

732
00:38:31,895 --> 00:38:33,605
so that I could have my way with her.

733
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:36,775
Please.

734
00:38:42,614 --> 00:38:44,533
<i>Did Claus drive me crazy?</i>

735
00:38:45,784 --> 00:38:47,119
<i>Even I don't know.</i>

736
00:38:48,412 --> 00:38:52,040
<i>But it's true that I took up to
24 laxatives daily,</i>

737
00:38:52,666 --> 00:38:54,710
<i>popped Aspirin like M&Ms,</i>

738
00:38:55,294 --> 00:38:57,838
<i>smoked three packs of cigarettes a day,</i>

739
00:38:58,422 --> 00:39:00,632
<i>had a problem with alcohol,</i>

740
00:39:01,341 --> 00:39:03,760
<i>took Valium and Seconal frequently,</i>

741
00:39:03,927 --> 00:39:06,555
<i>and consumed large quantities of sweets</i>

742
00:39:06,889 --> 00:39:10,058
<i>despite a medical condition, hypoglycemia,</i>

743
00:39:10,392 --> 00:39:11,768
<i>which made them hazardous.</i>

744
00:39:13,687 --> 00:39:15,606
<i>As for my state of mind...</i>

745
00:39:21,695 --> 00:39:25,365
<i>I had not had sex
with my husband for years.</i>

746
00:39:27,409 --> 00:39:28,660
<i>My schedule was...</i>

747
00:39:29,453 --> 00:39:31,121
<i>I woke at 9:30,</i>

748
00:39:31,580 --> 00:39:33,874
<i>did a little exercise and shopping,</i>

749
00:39:34,541 --> 00:39:36,335
<i>and returned to bed at three o'clock</i>

750
00:39:36,502 --> 00:39:38,253
<i>for the remainder of the afternoon.</i>

751
00:39:39,505 --> 00:39:41,507
<i>I liked to be in bed.</i>

752
00:39:42,591 --> 00:39:44,843
<i>I didn't much like anything else.</i>

753
00:39:51,308 --> 00:39:52,434
Hold on here, will you?

754
00:40:11,411 --> 00:40:12,079
Come in.

755
00:40:12,371 --> 00:40:13,455
Alan.

756
00:40:13,747 --> 00:40:15,499
Welcome to my humble law firm.

757
00:40:17,042 --> 00:40:18,126
In the kitchen,

758
00:40:18,669 --> 00:40:20,504
our insulin-on-the-needle team.

759
00:40:21,213 --> 00:40:23,966
They're cooking up some surprise for us.

760
00:40:28,887 --> 00:40:30,889
This is our Brillhoffer notes team.

761
00:40:32,057 --> 00:40:33,225
Mr. von Bulow!

762
00:40:33,809 --> 00:40:35,435
Where do you keep the paper towels?

763
00:40:36,478 --> 00:40:37,604
Ask Sarah!

764
00:40:37,771 --> 00:40:38,856
Sarah used to live here.

765
00:40:40,899 --> 00:40:41,984
This--

766
00:40:42,818 --> 00:40:44,111
I guess he was up all night.

767
00:40:52,327 --> 00:40:53,620
This sort of commune,

768
00:40:53,912 --> 00:40:55,455
you do it on every case?

769
00:40:55,622 --> 00:40:56,707
Never before.

770
00:40:57,082 --> 00:40:59,293
Thirty-eight days to write 100 pages?

771
00:40:59,835 --> 00:41:00,961
Only way to get it done.

772
00:41:01,879 --> 00:41:03,380
Here's the black bag team.

773
00:41:03,672 --> 00:41:04,882
Illegal search teams.

774
00:41:15,184 --> 00:41:16,810
My son, Elon, lost his room.

775
00:41:16,977 --> 00:41:18,812
Well, actually, this is, uh,
this is another case

776
00:41:18,812 --> 00:41:19,897
that you're paying for.

777
00:41:21,523 --> 00:41:22,608
And this is my team.

778
00:41:23,734 --> 00:41:24,818
You wish.

779
00:41:25,485 --> 00:41:26,945
I--I can't find the damn thing.

780
00:41:28,530 --> 00:41:29,615
Hi. I'm Sarah.

781
00:41:29,907 --> 00:41:31,700
And a very lovely Sarah you are.

782
00:41:33,202 --> 00:41:34,453
Does that really work?

783
00:41:34,828 --> 00:41:35,412
Flattery?

784
00:41:35,871 --> 00:41:36,914
Absolutely.

785
00:41:39,041 --> 00:41:40,167
Like Chinese food?

786
00:41:41,835 --> 00:41:43,962
What do you give a wife
who has everything?

787
00:41:46,340 --> 00:41:47,883
An injection of insulin.

788
00:41:51,470 --> 00:41:53,347
How--Ah, my prawns.

789
00:41:53,931 --> 00:41:56,934
How can one define a fear of insulin?

790
00:41:58,352 --> 00:41:59,603
Claus-trophobia.

791
00:42:05,817 --> 00:42:07,611
Is there anything more you can tell us

792
00:42:07,736 --> 00:42:09,071
about Alexandra Isles?

793
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:11,990
For instance, is it true
that she gave you a deadline

794
00:42:11,990 --> 00:42:13,742
of Christmas 1979 to be together?

795
00:42:14,451 --> 00:42:15,536
Uh, not really.

796
00:42:15,786 --> 00:42:18,080
No, she knew I was looking
for full-time work.

797
00:42:18,288 --> 00:42:20,624
I worked for JP Getty in London.

798
00:42:20,749 --> 00:42:22,626
Alexandra assumed that
when you did find a job,

799
00:42:22,626 --> 00:42:23,752
you'd marry her, correct?

800
00:42:24,878 --> 00:42:26,129
Oh, she assumed it.

801
00:42:28,549 --> 00:42:29,508
How about when she testified,

802
00:42:29,633 --> 00:42:31,885
did you get a sense that
she wanted to get back together?

803
00:42:31,885 --> 00:42:34,555
Very much so.
In fact, at the trial, she said...

804
00:42:34,721 --> 00:42:39,017
I loved him, but I was still caught up
in my own anger...

805
00:42:40,769 --> 00:42:42,729
and I'm sorry I acted that way then.

806
00:42:43,772 --> 00:42:45,607
I loved him, and I was angry.

807
00:42:47,150 --> 00:42:49,111
Let me ask you this.
Maybe you can't answer.

808
00:42:49,945 --> 00:42:51,113
Do you still love him?

809
00:42:53,365 --> 00:42:54,032
I don't know.

810
00:42:54,324 --> 00:42:55,951
<i>That means yes, doesn't it?</i>

811
00:42:56,368 --> 00:42:57,452
<i>It would seem so.</i>

812
00:42:57,744 --> 00:42:58,912
In fact, after the trial,

813
00:42:59,037 --> 00:43:01,206
she wrote me a letter
saying so explicitly.

814
00:43:02,082 --> 00:43:03,750
A very passionate letter.

815
00:43:03,959 --> 00:43:05,377
Passionate and...

816
00:43:05,919 --> 00:43:07,004
jealous.

817
00:43:08,005 --> 00:43:10,632
But that was the relationship
from the outset.

818
00:43:10,924 --> 00:43:12,467
That was Alexandra.

819
00:43:12,634 --> 00:43:13,760
She was your love slave.

820
00:43:23,395 --> 00:43:26,773
Well, I think now
I'll have my own individual order

821
00:43:26,940 --> 00:43:28,233
of ginger prawns.

822
00:43:30,611 --> 00:43:32,946
- Waiter.
- Three weeks before her final coma,

823
00:43:33,614 --> 00:43:35,115
Sunny overdosed on Aspirin.

824
00:43:35,949 --> 00:43:37,242
Can you tell us anything about that?

825
00:43:37,242 --> 00:43:39,703
No one maintained
I had anything to do with that, Alan.

826
00:43:39,703 --> 00:43:40,787
No, of course not.

827
00:43:41,413 --> 00:43:42,748
I'm asking you what happened.

828
00:43:43,081 --> 00:43:45,375
Well, Sunny had been unwell.

829
00:43:52,299 --> 00:43:53,383
Are you all right?

830
00:43:53,550 --> 00:43:55,427
Oh, just a bit dizzy.

831
00:43:58,222 --> 00:44:00,140
Well, if you're dizzy, don't go wandering.

832
00:44:16,448 --> 00:44:17,533
Sunny?

833
00:44:20,619 --> 00:44:21,662
Oh, my God.

834
00:44:21,995 --> 00:44:23,080
Come on, my darling.

835
00:44:23,997 --> 00:44:24,790
Now, you're all right.

836
00:44:24,998 --> 00:44:26,583
Come on, put your arm around my shoulder.

837
00:44:26,583 --> 00:44:27,125
There we are.

838
00:44:27,334 --> 00:44:28,669
Now, you're all right.

839
00:44:28,919 --> 00:44:31,588
Get you--come on.
We'll get you back into bed.

840
00:44:33,549 --> 00:44:35,259
Something happened to my head.

841
00:44:35,467 --> 00:44:36,802
- You're all right.
- It's cut.

842
00:44:37,803 --> 00:44:39,555
Just a little cut. It's nothing.

843
00:44:39,721 --> 00:44:40,806
Come on.

844
00:44:40,889 --> 00:44:42,349
Let's get you lying down.

845
00:44:46,603 --> 00:44:47,896
There you are.

846
00:44:51,900 --> 00:44:52,985
There.

847
00:44:56,864 --> 00:44:58,115
Shall I call a doctor?

848
00:44:58,282 --> 00:45:00,242
No! No, I don't want--

849
00:45:00,450 --> 00:45:01,535
I don't want a doctor.

850
00:45:01,618 --> 00:45:03,245
Just... don't want a doctor.

851
00:45:04,371 --> 00:45:06,999
Just want to be left alone.

852
00:45:08,083 --> 00:45:10,878
Want to be left alone
with all those beaut--beautiful letters.

853
00:45:11,628 --> 00:45:12,796
What did you do with those letters?

854
00:45:12,796 --> 00:45:14,298
Why did you write those letters?

855
00:45:14,548 --> 00:45:15,632
And those...

856
00:45:16,216 --> 00:45:17,759
<i>Later, Dr. Praug said</i>

857
00:45:17,926 --> 00:45:19,469
we needn't have gone to the hospital,

858
00:45:19,469 --> 00:45:21,305
but I wasn't going to take any chances.

859
00:45:21,471 --> 00:45:23,015
Why did she take so much Aspirin?

860
00:45:23,473 --> 00:45:25,475
Oh, Sunny always took Aspirin.

861
00:45:25,934 --> 00:45:28,061
She'd been taking a lot for several days.

862
00:45:28,228 --> 00:45:29,438
That's not what our doctor said.

863
00:45:29,438 --> 00:45:31,190
Dr. Lucas Lupardus,

864
00:45:31,481 --> 00:45:34,318
chief forensic toxicologist,
Suffolk County,

865
00:45:34,651 --> 00:45:37,446
says that people who take large
amounts of Aspirin every day

866
00:45:37,613 --> 00:45:38,697
never reach that level.

867
00:45:39,156 --> 00:45:41,825
He also said the average blood level
in cases of death is...

868
00:45:42,075 --> 00:45:44,203
Sixty. Hers was 90.

869
00:45:44,703 --> 00:45:45,287
So...

870
00:45:45,454 --> 00:45:47,998
So it was obviously a suicide attempt.

871
00:45:49,333 --> 00:45:49,875
Why?

872
00:45:50,042 --> 00:45:51,460
Yeah, why?

873
00:45:51,627 --> 00:45:52,169
Why?

874
00:45:52,503 --> 00:45:55,923
Alan, do they all want to be prosecutors?

875
00:45:58,675 --> 00:45:59,760
We're waiting.

876
00:46:03,514 --> 00:46:05,390
Well, I presume she was unhappy.

877
00:46:12,481 --> 00:46:14,816
How about we all finish up
and go back to the house?

878
00:46:16,610 --> 00:46:19,488
We're not going to win this
on a technicality. Peter.

879
00:46:20,614 --> 00:46:22,574
I've read every case
in the last seven years

880
00:46:22,741 --> 00:46:24,785
where the Rhode Island
Supreme Court reversed.

881
00:46:25,035 --> 00:46:26,411
They don't like to make new law,

882
00:46:26,411 --> 00:46:28,664
they don't like to discuss
broad legal issues.

883
00:46:28,830 --> 00:46:30,040
When they do reverse,

884
00:46:30,207 --> 00:46:31,625
the grounds are technical,

885
00:46:31,792 --> 00:46:33,836
but the reason seems to be

886
00:46:34,002 --> 00:46:36,672
they suspect a convicted defendant
may be innocent.

887
00:46:37,965 --> 00:46:39,633
Okay, so everybody get that?

888
00:46:40,551 --> 00:46:43,512
True or not,
we've got to convince the judges

889
00:46:44,555 --> 00:46:45,889
that you are innocent.

890
00:46:46,807 --> 00:46:49,726
Claus, now I do want to hear
your side of the story.

891
00:46:49,893 --> 00:46:50,978
With pleasure.

892
00:46:51,687 --> 00:46:53,939
Innocence has always been my position.

893
00:46:59,319 --> 00:47:01,196
First coma. What preceded it?

894
00:47:03,657 --> 00:47:05,117
Well, Sunny loved Christmas.

895
00:47:05,909 --> 00:47:07,744
<i>It was her favorite season, really.</i>

896
00:47:08,912 --> 00:47:11,915
<i>You see, what you must understand
about Sunny</i>

897
00:47:12,082 --> 00:47:15,127
<i>is that she loved giving
more than anything else.</i>

898
00:47:15,335 --> 00:47:18,922
<i>� Peace on Earth and mercy mild</i>

899
00:47:19,089 --> 00:47:21,175
<i>� God and sinners reconciled...</i>

900
00:47:21,341 --> 00:47:24,595
<i>Each year, she always made
a big bowl of fresh eggnog.</i>

901
00:47:25,262 --> 00:47:27,347
<i>Now, that year, she drank a lot of it.</i>

902
00:47:27,764 --> 00:47:28,849
<i>How much?</i>

903
00:47:29,016 --> 00:47:31,101
<i>Oh, 10 or 12 glasses.</i>

904
00:47:32,436 --> 00:47:34,146
<i>With her hypoglycemia?</i>

905
00:47:35,439 --> 00:47:36,982
<i>She didn't always drink like that?</i>

906
00:47:37,024 --> 00:47:38,108
<i>Never.</i>

907
00:47:38,358 --> 00:47:41,778
<i>She never touched alcohol at all
except on social occasions</i>

908
00:47:41,945 --> 00:47:43,447
<i>to overcome her shyness...</i>

909
00:47:43,906 --> 00:47:45,657
<i>or when she was upset.</i>

910
00:47:46,867 --> 00:47:49,036
<i>This was not a social occasion.</i>

911
00:47:49,620 --> 00:47:50,704
<i>No.</i>

912
00:47:51,872 --> 00:47:54,499
<i>We'd been discussing divorce
all afternoon.</i>

913
00:48:11,725 --> 00:48:13,477
This whole subject of your...

914
00:48:14,853 --> 00:48:17,189
work... coming between us,

915
00:48:18,857 --> 00:48:21,985
isn't it just a pretext
when the real subject is her?

916
00:48:22,778 --> 00:48:23,862
Certainly not.

917
00:48:26,615 --> 00:48:29,826
I'm thinking of redecorating
this whole fucking house.

918
00:48:32,204 --> 00:48:33,789
<i>Then she knew about Alexandra.</i>

919
00:48:35,624 --> 00:48:36,708
Yes.

920
00:48:36,917 --> 00:48:38,001
How did she find out?

921
00:48:40,546 --> 00:48:41,713
I, um...

922
00:48:42,464 --> 00:48:44,091
I told her the previous summer.

923
00:48:50,681 --> 00:48:52,641
Ala, can't we find one a bit slower?

924
00:48:58,814 --> 00:49:00,190
- Ah, that's much better.
- Hm.

925
00:49:01,733 --> 00:49:02,818
- Cooler.
- Hm.

926
00:49:05,988 --> 00:49:07,072
Thank you.

927
00:49:16,206 --> 00:49:17,791
Oh, I've been meaning to mention...

928
00:49:18,917 --> 00:49:20,961
our understanding about my...

929
00:49:23,088 --> 00:49:24,840
extracurricular activities.

930
00:49:27,176 --> 00:49:29,094
I've been involved with someone who...

931
00:49:29,678 --> 00:49:32,598
falls outside the parameters
of our agreement.

932
00:49:32,890 --> 00:49:34,057
- Really?
- Someone...

933
00:49:34,391 --> 00:49:35,976
peripherally in our circle.

934
00:49:38,353 --> 00:49:39,438
Billy Botsky's daughter,

935
00:49:39,605 --> 00:49:41,064
Alexandra Isles.

936
00:49:43,692 --> 00:49:44,776
Well.

937
00:49:48,030 --> 00:49:49,239
That must be better for you

938
00:49:49,364 --> 00:49:50,991
than what you've had to put up with.

939
00:49:52,659 --> 00:49:54,411
You're referring to the call girls.

940
00:49:55,871 --> 00:49:56,955
Yes.

941
00:49:58,332 --> 00:50:01,627
I mean, that is where
you've gone previously, isn't it?

942
00:50:02,252 --> 00:50:03,337
Yes, it is.

943
00:50:06,256 --> 00:50:07,341
And isn't this better?

944
00:50:08,926 --> 00:50:11,470
Or is Billy Botsky's daughter
a call girl, too?

945
00:50:13,430 --> 00:50:14,640
This is much better.

946
00:50:23,899 --> 00:50:25,400
<i>That was what, July, August?</i>

947
00:50:25,776 --> 00:50:26,902
Now it's Christmas time,

948
00:50:27,236 --> 00:50:29,530
and you were
still squabbling over Alexandra?

949
00:50:29,988 --> 00:50:32,115
No. We were fighting about my work.

950
00:50:32,449 --> 00:50:33,534
Sunny was...

951
00:50:35,869 --> 00:50:37,704
well, by the evening,

952
00:50:37,871 --> 00:50:39,206
she'd drunk so much eggnog,

953
00:50:39,373 --> 00:50:41,250
<i>that I had to help her into the bedroom.</i>

954
00:50:42,668 --> 00:50:43,752
Alexander.

955
00:50:45,003 --> 00:50:46,255
Time for bed, darling.

956
00:50:51,969 --> 00:50:53,053
There we are.

957
00:50:59,768 --> 00:51:01,687
Please don't hold my arm.

958
00:51:02,521 --> 00:51:04,439
Darling, you know
when you get like this...

959
00:51:05,190 --> 00:51:06,275
Remember?

960
00:51:07,985 --> 00:51:09,236
You fell and broke your hip.

961
00:51:09,444 --> 00:51:11,071
That was years ago.

962
00:51:13,448 --> 00:51:15,033
It was two years ago.

963
00:51:36,221 --> 00:51:37,890
Get me a scotch and soda.

964
00:51:49,276 --> 00:51:51,820
May I at least urinate alone?

965
00:52:11,590 --> 00:52:13,800
She runs the water
every time she goes in there.

966
00:52:16,428 --> 00:52:18,889
<i>If she was already soused,
why'd you go for the scotch?</i>

967
00:52:18,972 --> 00:52:20,641
Because she asked for it.

968
00:52:22,392 --> 00:52:24,728
Sunny got what Sunny wanted.

969
00:52:25,187 --> 00:52:26,271
It's okay.

970
00:52:56,093 --> 00:52:57,177
Good night, Dad.

971
00:52:57,761 --> 00:52:58,846
Good night, darling.

972
00:53:01,014 --> 00:53:02,099
Good night, Claus.

973
00:53:02,683 --> 00:53:03,767
Good night, Alex.

974
00:53:17,656 --> 00:53:19,616
Hasn't my mother given us enough money?

975
00:53:21,743 --> 00:53:22,327
Claus?

976
00:53:22,619 --> 00:53:24,288
<i>That night, we hardly slept.</i>

977
00:53:24,663 --> 00:53:27,332
Your age,
it's perfectly acceptable to retire.

978
00:53:28,125 --> 00:53:29,501
I'm already retired.

979
00:53:30,919 --> 00:53:32,754
I haven't worked full-time since Getty.

980
00:53:32,921 --> 00:53:34,381
Exactly. It's your ego.

981
00:53:34,548 --> 00:53:36,258
You've never had a career. Not really.

982
00:53:37,301 --> 00:53:38,844
Well, I'm going to have one now.

983
00:53:42,055 --> 00:53:44,474
Oh, come on, Sunny, your father worked.

984
00:53:46,059 --> 00:53:47,644
Do you want the children to grow up

985
00:53:47,811 --> 00:53:49,980
thinking a male's place
is in a deck chair?

986
00:53:50,147 --> 00:53:51,648
Claus, you marry me for my money,

987
00:53:51,648 --> 00:53:52,524
then you demand to work.

988
00:53:52,691 --> 00:53:54,151
You're the prince of perversion.

989
00:53:54,651 --> 00:53:56,737
I mean, what? Are you trying
to destroy our whole family?

990
00:53:56,737 --> 00:53:57,654
Oh, no, of course not.

991
00:53:57,821 --> 00:53:59,907
I--I... I simply want some...

992
00:54:01,617 --> 00:54:02,993
intercourse with the world.

993
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:04,244
Shut up, Pan!

994
00:54:05,412 --> 00:54:06,496
Oh, what does it matter?

995
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,377
So Is that it?

996
00:54:13,795 --> 00:54:14,880
Another divorce?

997
00:54:17,925 --> 00:54:19,009
Okay.

998
00:54:19,218 --> 00:54:21,303
I'll divorce you. I will.

999
00:54:22,387 --> 00:54:23,764
Oh, God...

1000
00:54:24,515 --> 00:54:25,724
Two-time loser.

1001
00:54:27,518 --> 00:54:28,852
I'll divorce everybody.

1002
00:54:29,478 --> 00:54:31,605
I don't want a divorce.

1003
00:54:32,397 --> 00:54:34,942
I don't want to marry
Billy Botsky's daughter.

1004
00:54:35,108 --> 00:54:37,027
I want to stay with you
and I want to work.

1005
00:54:37,027 --> 00:54:39,488
I need that as a man.

1006
00:54:43,450 --> 00:54:44,535
It's hopeless.

1007
00:54:47,746 --> 00:54:48,830
Oh, God.

1008
00:54:50,415 --> 00:54:51,792
I need my beauty sleep.

1009
00:54:51,959 --> 00:54:55,003
Why do you--why do you believe
it's hopeless just because of some...

1010
00:55:35,669 --> 00:55:36,753
Good night, Claus.

1011
00:55:39,089 --> 00:55:40,549
Sunny, you know I love you.

1012
00:55:59,318 --> 00:56:00,402
Good night.

1013
00:56:07,367 --> 00:56:08,452
Okay, and the next day?

1014
00:56:08,785 --> 00:56:09,870
Well...

1015
00:56:11,788 --> 00:56:15,167
Maria's testimony was wildly exaggerated.

1016
00:56:16,752 --> 00:56:18,545
Sunny was never moaning.

1017
00:56:19,630 --> 00:56:21,840
Maybe the occasional snore, but...

1018
00:56:23,759 --> 00:56:26,053
And Maria shook Sunny.

1019
00:56:29,181 --> 00:56:31,808
Nobody ever shook Sunny.

1020
00:56:36,104 --> 00:56:38,148
What happened when
she regained consciousness?

1021
00:56:38,607 --> 00:56:39,942
After the first coma,

1022
00:56:40,108 --> 00:56:41,735
well, it was kind of absurd.

1023
00:56:41,902 --> 00:56:43,612
Everybody was angry at me.

1024
00:56:47,658 --> 00:56:49,576
Can't you ever leave me alone?

1025
00:56:53,205 --> 00:56:54,289
Why did you do it?

1026
00:56:55,541 --> 00:56:57,209
I would have been better off.

1027
00:56:58,001 --> 00:56:59,586
You would have been better off.

1028
00:56:59,753 --> 00:57:01,004
What do you want me to say?

1029
00:57:01,421 --> 00:57:03,048
That I'm sorry I saved your life?

1030
00:57:03,215 --> 00:57:04,299
Yes.

1031
00:57:08,846 --> 00:57:09,930
Say it.

1032
00:57:17,855 --> 00:57:19,147
Of course I'm not sorry.

1033
00:57:37,499 --> 00:57:38,584
Wha--

1034
00:57:39,835 --> 00:57:40,919
Claus...

1035
00:57:45,257 --> 00:57:47,384
what am I going to do with myself?

1036
00:57:54,141 --> 00:57:55,434
<i>When I phoned Alexandra,</i>

1037
00:57:55,601 --> 00:57:57,728
to tell her what had happened,
she said the same thing,

1038
00:57:57,728 --> 00:57:59,605
she said, "Why did you do it?

1039
00:57:59,771 --> 00:58:01,231
Why did you call the doctor?"

1040
00:58:01,481 --> 00:58:03,567
You telling me she wanted
you to let Sunny die?

1041
00:58:04,026 --> 00:58:06,445
No, no, no, no, no.

1042
00:58:06,612 --> 00:58:07,905
It was more...

1043
00:58:08,447 --> 00:58:11,950
"Everybody says Sunny's
such an unhappy woman

1044
00:58:12,117 --> 00:58:15,329
and has nothing to live for."

1045
00:58:17,581 --> 00:58:20,125
Well, so much for the first coma.

1046
00:58:21,251 --> 00:58:22,461
The second, of course,

1047
00:58:22,878 --> 00:58:24,588
was much more theatrical.

1048
00:58:25,506 --> 00:58:27,382
Theatrical? What is this, a fucking game?

1049
00:58:28,091 --> 00:58:30,511
This is life and death.
Your wife is laying in a coma.

1050
00:58:31,678 --> 00:58:33,847
You don't even make a pretense
of caring, do you?

1051
00:58:35,098 --> 00:58:36,391
'Course I care, Alan.

1052
00:58:38,936 --> 00:58:41,063
It's just I don't wear
my heart on my sleeve.

1053
00:58:45,776 --> 00:58:47,027
Let's call it a night, okay?

1054
00:58:47,778 --> 00:58:49,112
Okay, guys, so...

1055
00:58:49,947 --> 00:58:51,031
As you wish.

1056
00:58:51,281 --> 00:58:53,033
There were three drugs
on the needle, right?

1057
00:58:53,033 --> 00:58:55,369
Amobarbital, Valium, insulin.

1058
00:58:56,995 --> 00:58:58,330
We can't all be you, Alan.

1059
00:59:07,005 --> 00:59:08,131
Shoot! Shoot! All right.

1060
00:59:08,799 --> 00:59:11,260
Okay, get a doctor
to prepare five needles,

1061
00:59:11,718 --> 00:59:12,970
one with nothing,

1062
00:59:13,220 --> 00:59:15,722
two with Valium, amobarbital, and insulin,

1063
00:59:15,973 --> 00:59:17,891
two with just Valium and amobarbital.

1064
00:59:18,058 --> 00:59:21,103
We're gonna send them to the same lab
that our famous needle went to.

1065
00:59:21,103 --> 00:59:23,230
Let's see if we can get
a false positive result.

1066
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:24,565
If we don't?

1067
00:59:25,524 --> 00:59:26,984
We don't, I clean the latrines.

1068
00:59:27,150 --> 00:59:28,735
Aw, you're not gonna believe this.

1069
00:59:29,403 --> 00:59:30,654
David Marriott wants money.

1070
00:59:30,821 --> 00:59:31,905
Yeah, who doesn't?

1071
00:59:32,614 --> 00:59:34,116
I'm afraid his memory might fade.

1072
00:59:34,157 --> 00:59:35,325
Oh, the hell with him. Forget about him.

1073
00:59:35,325 --> 00:59:36,660
Well, he has lost his crumby job,

1074
00:59:36,660 --> 00:59:39,162
and he is running around
trying to find evidence for us.

1075
00:59:40,998 --> 00:59:43,166
Okay, why don't we do what
the government does with its witnesses?

1076
00:59:43,166 --> 00:59:44,501
Okay? We'll pay for his time.

1077
00:59:45,043 --> 00:59:46,128
What's his time worth?

1078
00:59:46,336 --> 00:59:48,922
- Buck and a half.
- Sarah? Dersh?

1079
00:59:50,007 --> 00:59:51,091
Your team's on.

1080
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:53,677
Okay.
You going to pass to me this game or what?

1081
00:59:53,677 --> 00:59:54,761
No.

1082
00:59:56,763 --> 00:59:58,182
Their private investigator said

1083
00:59:58,348 --> 01:00:00,309
the needle had a small encrustation
near the tip.

1084
01:00:00,309 --> 01:00:03,228
Now, doctors tell us this is
totally inconsistent with injection.

1085
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:04,897
Okay, so how did it get there?

1086
01:00:08,483 --> 01:00:10,402
If I inject this needle,

1087
01:00:10,736 --> 01:00:12,821
the skin acts as kind of a swab.

1088
01:00:13,155 --> 01:00:14,406
It cleans the needle off,

1089
01:00:14,740 --> 01:00:17,409
leaving the tip completely free of liquid.

1090
01:00:17,576 --> 01:00:20,746
But if I just dip the needle
into the liquid,

1091
01:00:20,913 --> 01:00:21,997
what do you see?

1092
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:24,124
Dry this out,

1093
01:00:24,374 --> 01:00:25,876
you have an encrustation.

1094
01:00:26,293 --> 01:00:27,377
So it's a frame-up?

1095
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:29,755
It's Desdemona's handkerchief.

1096
01:00:30,881 --> 01:00:32,633
My stepchildren thought I was guilty,

1097
01:00:32,799 --> 01:00:34,468
didn't feel they had enough evidence,

1098
01:00:34,468 --> 01:00:35,677
and so concocted some.

1099
01:00:36,053 --> 01:00:37,513
This should win us the case, no?

1100
01:00:37,721 --> 01:00:39,932
No. We're maybe halfway home.

1101
01:00:41,350 --> 01:00:42,935
There's still a lot of weird stuff.

1102
01:00:43,852 --> 01:00:44,937
Did you love Sunny?

1103
01:00:45,229 --> 01:00:46,313
I married her.

1104
01:00:47,689 --> 01:00:49,525
Of course I loved her. She was beautiful.

1105
01:00:49,525 --> 01:00:50,609
Rich.

1106
01:00:50,692 --> 01:00:51,777
Why not?

1107
01:00:52,027 --> 01:00:53,904
What I've seen of the rich, you can have.

1108
01:00:54,404 --> 01:00:55,489
I do.

1109
01:01:00,035 --> 01:01:01,119
The black bag,

1110
01:01:01,286 --> 01:01:02,371
was it yours?

1111
01:01:04,623 --> 01:01:06,208
Sunny appropriated it.

1112
01:01:06,834 --> 01:01:08,293
Now, to understand that,

1113
01:01:08,502 --> 01:01:11,255
you must understand
that after the first coma,

1114
01:01:11,505 --> 01:01:13,674
<i>she went into a complete rage.</i>

1115
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:20,389
Where are they? Did you take them?

1116
01:01:20,556 --> 01:01:21,682
Certainly not. Take what?

1117
01:01:21,807 --> 01:01:23,433
My pills, you moron.

1118
01:01:24,518 --> 01:01:25,853
Valium, Seconal...

1119
01:01:27,604 --> 01:01:28,772
you took them, didn't you?

1120
01:01:29,273 --> 01:01:31,567
My dear, I've long since
stopped interfering.

1121
01:01:31,733 --> 01:01:33,652
Well, who? My children wouldn't dare--

1122
01:01:35,654 --> 01:01:37,072
Oh, I know who.

1123
01:01:37,239 --> 01:01:38,323
Where are you going?

1124
01:01:51,503 --> 01:01:52,588
Maria!

1125
01:02:02,514 --> 01:02:04,057
<i>She soon found them.</i>

1126
01:02:05,684 --> 01:02:07,561
It's my lovely mother, isn't it?

1127
01:02:07,936 --> 01:02:09,271
She's behind all this.

1128
01:02:10,230 --> 01:02:12,024
She's in cahoots with Maria.

1129
01:02:13,984 --> 01:02:17,988
Well, just because she had all the money

1130
01:02:18,155 --> 01:02:19,907
before I had all the money

1131
01:02:20,073 --> 01:02:22,367
does not mean she's my lord and master.

1132
01:02:22,701 --> 01:02:24,953
'Course not. I am your lord and master.

1133
01:02:26,997 --> 01:02:28,081
Just kidding.

1134
01:02:33,253 --> 01:02:34,963
Maria loves me too much.

1135
01:02:36,298 --> 01:02:37,591
It's unhealthy for her,

1136
01:02:38,342 --> 01:02:40,594
and it's certainly no fun for me.

1137
01:02:45,974 --> 01:02:47,059
There.

1138
01:03:03,033 --> 01:03:05,035
We'll see if that ugly little maid of mine

1139
01:03:05,202 --> 01:03:06,453
can sniff this one out.

1140
01:03:16,421 --> 01:03:18,340
And what are you going
to do with all that?

1141
01:03:19,424 --> 01:03:20,592
I'm not going to tell you.

1142
01:03:21,552 --> 01:03:24,054
I assure you,
it not gonna be among my affairs.

1143
01:03:26,056 --> 01:03:28,851
<i>Odd she used that word, affairs.</i>

1144
01:03:29,935 --> 01:03:32,187
You realize the prosecution thinks
you ground up the drugs

1145
01:03:32,187 --> 01:03:33,438
so you could inject Sunny?

1146
01:03:33,856 --> 01:03:36,650
And frankly, this nose drop business
is pretty far-fetched.

1147
01:03:37,401 --> 01:03:39,736
But consider the pattern, Alan.

1148
01:03:40,737 --> 01:03:43,740
It's public record that Sunny used drugs.

1149
01:03:44,116 --> 01:03:46,952
Her behavior here of hiding them in liquid

1150
01:03:47,369 --> 01:03:49,121
so that no one will find them,

1151
01:03:49,746 --> 01:03:52,124
it's your classic alcoholic
buying pints of whiskey

1152
01:03:52,291 --> 01:03:53,959
and stashing them all over the house.

1153
01:03:55,377 --> 01:03:56,461
You're right.

1154
01:03:57,588 --> 01:03:58,672
Of course, I mean...

1155
01:03:59,339 --> 01:04:01,592
I mean, you've always
been right, haven't you?

1156
01:04:02,926 --> 01:04:05,262
This is the most dangerous case
I've ever worked on.

1157
01:04:05,512 --> 01:04:06,722
You find that exhilarating?

1158
01:04:06,889 --> 01:04:07,973
No, I do not.

1159
01:04:09,391 --> 01:04:10,559
I am breaking every rule.

1160
01:04:10,976 --> 01:04:13,312
'Cause the best way to win
is to proclaim your innocence,

1161
01:04:13,312 --> 01:04:15,230
and I've never done that for anybody.

1162
01:04:16,148 --> 01:04:18,150
And the problem I got is
I see who you are.

1163
01:04:18,567 --> 01:04:19,693
You'd do anything to win.

1164
01:04:20,194 --> 01:04:21,278
So would you.

1165
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,238
Yeah, but you don't trust
the legal system.

1166
01:04:24,031 --> 01:04:26,200
You're saying I'd manufacture witnesses?

1167
01:04:27,034 --> 01:04:28,118
Affidavits?

1168
01:04:29,578 --> 01:04:31,830
No, but you would sacrifice me.

1169
01:04:31,997 --> 01:04:33,081
Oh, please, Alan.

1170
01:04:33,248 --> 01:04:36,335
See, the more I believe that
you are innocent, the more nervous I am.

1171
01:04:37,544 --> 01:04:39,087
I go out on a limb for you,

1172
01:04:39,588 --> 01:04:41,590
you're proven guilty,
I look like an asshole.

1173
01:04:42,257 --> 01:04:45,177
My reputation, my credibility,
my career, destroyed.

1174
01:04:46,845 --> 01:04:48,639
That's the risk you're taking, isn't it?

1175
01:04:48,639 --> 01:04:49,723
Yeah, well, fuck you.

1176
01:04:50,599 --> 01:04:51,808
Fuck you, man.

1177
01:05:04,238 --> 01:05:05,864
I'm glad we understand one another.

1178
01:05:09,409 --> 01:05:12,538
<i>It's easy to forget
all this is about me...</i>

1179
01:05:13,205 --> 01:05:14,289
<i>lying here.</i>

1180
01:05:15,207 --> 01:05:17,876
<i>To most of you, my name means coma.</i>

1181
01:05:18,377 --> 01:05:21,547
<i>My second marriage means attempted murder.</i>

1182
01:05:22,214 --> 01:05:23,632
<i>Everything that came before,</i>

1183
01:05:23,799 --> 01:05:27,219
<i>everything beautiful,
does not exist in the public mind.</i>

1184
01:05:28,053 --> 01:05:30,472
<i>No one thinks of how I loved my children.</i>

1185
01:05:30,973 --> 01:05:32,099
<i>Look at Cosima,</i>

1186
01:05:33,016 --> 01:05:34,101
<i>and Alex, of course,</i>

1187
01:05:34,768 --> 01:05:35,853
<i>and Ala,</i>

1188
01:05:36,019 --> 01:05:38,313
<i>and certainly no one cares about Claus,</i>

1189
01:05:38,814 --> 01:05:40,983
<i>the way he was
when I fell in love with him.</i>

1190
01:05:41,817 --> 01:05:43,360
<i>When Claus and I first met,</i>

1191
01:05:43,527 --> 01:05:47,114
<i>I was married to the dashing, young
Prince Alfred Eduard Friederich</i>

1192
01:05:47,281 --> 01:05:50,200
<i>Vincenz Martin Maria von Auersberg.</i>

1193
01:05:51,285 --> 01:05:53,537
<i>It was 1964,</i>

1194
01:05:54,538 --> 01:05:56,957
<i>seven years into my first marriage.</i>

1195
01:06:02,713 --> 01:06:04,673
<i>It seems that my first husband,</i>

1196
01:06:04,965 --> 01:06:07,134
<i>Alfie, as he was called,</i>

1197
01:06:07,926 --> 01:06:12,097
<i>had vowed to be unfaithful
with every pretty girl in Europe.</i>

1198
01:06:14,266 --> 01:06:16,393
<i>He was having quite a success.</i>

1199
01:06:18,353 --> 01:06:19,438
<i>And so...</i>

1200
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:23,108
<i>I was unfaithful with Claus.</i>

1201
01:06:34,494 --> 01:06:35,579
Psst!

1202
01:06:41,627 --> 01:06:43,337
<i>Wildly unfaithful.</i>

1203
01:06:45,506 --> 01:06:46,673
<i>Happy memories.</i>

1204
01:06:55,641 --> 01:06:58,143
<i>But it's not the passion I remember most.</i>

1205
01:07:00,062 --> 01:07:01,313
<i>It's the tenderness.</i>

1206
01:07:08,278 --> 01:07:09,571
Good God, what's that?

1207
01:07:10,239 --> 01:07:11,823
There's one of Frank's pets.

1208
01:07:16,453 --> 01:07:18,080
Oh, my God. No, no.

1209
01:07:33,887 --> 01:07:34,972
Come on, silly.

1210
01:07:35,055 --> 01:07:36,974
<i>I never liked people much,</i>

1211
01:07:37,391 --> 01:07:38,517
<i>not as a rule.</i>

1212
01:07:39,059 --> 01:07:39,977
Go ahead, feed him.

1213
01:07:40,143 --> 01:07:42,354
<i>But Claus was somehow different.</i>

1214
01:07:45,315 --> 01:07:47,651
<i>Not a normal person, I guess.</i>

1215
01:07:51,613 --> 01:07:53,156
It's all right. Do it again.

1216
01:07:53,323 --> 01:07:54,408
Give him some more.

1217
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,424
<i>One of those things you never forget.</i>

1218
01:08:12,342 --> 01:08:15,262
<i>Of course, now he lives in my apartment...</i>

1219
01:08:16,263 --> 01:08:17,347
<i>my bedroom...</i>

1220
01:08:18,515 --> 01:08:19,600
<i>my bed.</i>

1221
01:08:20,851 --> 01:08:22,352
<i>Cold, isn't it?</i>

1222
01:08:23,478 --> 01:08:26,607
<i>Cold and brutish and the way of the world.</i>

1223
01:08:28,108 --> 01:08:28,984
<i>Looking at him now,</i>

1224
01:08:29,151 --> 01:08:30,777
<i>the issues seem simple.</i>

1225
01:08:31,862 --> 01:08:33,113
<i>Is he the devil?</i>

1226
01:08:34,072 --> 01:08:37,242
<i>If so, can the devil get justice?</i>

1227
01:08:38,577 --> 01:08:40,746
<i>And all this legal activity...</i>

1228
01:08:42,122 --> 01:08:44,541
<i>is it in Satan's service?</i>

1229
01:08:45,459 --> 01:08:47,794
"Sunny von Bulow was totally vulnerable

1230
01:08:47,961 --> 01:08:49,421
to Claus von Bulow."

1231
01:08:50,589 --> 01:08:51,673
Can't argue with that.

1232
01:08:52,341 --> 01:08:55,135
But it's speculation. Exaggeration.

1233
01:08:55,302 --> 01:08:56,386
You keep working on it.

1234
01:08:56,553 --> 01:08:58,680
Totally inflammatory!

1235
01:09:00,599 --> 01:09:02,267
Okay, good. Let's go over this.

1236
01:09:03,602 --> 01:09:07,105
Okay, we went over it... once,
I just wanted you to see if...

1237
01:09:14,905 --> 01:09:17,032
Oh, shit, wha--what is this,
illegal search?

1238
01:09:19,826 --> 01:09:20,994
It's a classic technicality.

1239
01:09:20,994 --> 01:09:21,828
It's a guilty man's argument.

1240
01:09:21,995 --> 01:09:23,205
Come on, this is different.

1241
01:09:23,247 --> 01:09:25,582
Usual Fourth Amendment case,
you're trying to exclude evidence

1242
01:09:25,582 --> 01:09:26,917
- that's bad for your client.
- No, no. No, no.

1243
01:09:26,917 --> 01:09:28,335
Same thing here. Same thing.

1244
01:09:28,502 --> 01:09:30,879
No. This search destroyed evidence.

1245
01:09:31,421 --> 01:09:32,798
No fingerprints, no inventory.

1246
01:09:32,923 --> 01:09:34,967
Yeah, what's left hurts Claus,
but under <i>Brady</i>,

1247
01:09:34,967 --> 01:09:36,134
the state has an obligation--

1248
01:09:36,134 --> 01:09:38,262
Wait, wait, wait a second.
The cops tested the drugs

1249
01:09:38,262 --> 01:09:39,972
- from the illegal search, right?
- Yes, yes.

1250
01:09:39,972 --> 01:09:43,559
And we are saying that that test
constituted a second illegal search.

1251
01:09:43,725 --> 01:09:44,476
There are precedents.

1252
01:09:44,643 --> 01:09:46,353
<i>- Walter, Jacobson, Morgan.
- I know there are precedents.</i>

1253
01:09:46,353 --> 01:09:48,397
I know the law is on our side.
I'm not debating that.

1254
01:09:48,397 --> 01:09:49,064
What I'm trying to do is--

1255
01:09:49,231 --> 01:09:52,150
No. You're debating me personally. Why?

1256
01:09:54,194 --> 01:09:57,030
I'm debating strategy, okay?
I'm not--I'm not debating you.

1257
01:09:57,197 --> 01:09:58,031
We're all on the same team.

1258
01:09:58,198 --> 01:09:59,783
A-a-are we on the same team here or not?

1259
01:09:59,783 --> 01:10:01,535
I don't know. We seem to be.

1260
01:10:01,910 --> 01:10:03,328
Well then, why don't I feel it?

1261
01:10:04,037 --> 01:10:05,622
I thought this was strictly professional.

1262
01:10:05,622 --> 01:10:07,291
- It was.
- That's bullshit, Alan.

1263
01:10:07,708 --> 01:10:10,210
Look, I brought you--I--I asked you
to work on this case

1264
01:10:10,294 --> 01:10:11,628
because I think you are a good lawyer.

1265
01:10:11,628 --> 01:10:14,214
I think you're a fine lawyer, too.
You're a great lawyer.

1266
01:10:14,381 --> 01:10:15,924
But you give everything you have
to the law,

1267
01:10:15,924 --> 01:10:17,384
and you forget the people you care about.

1268
01:10:17,384 --> 01:10:20,053
My clients are the people
that I care about.

1269
01:10:20,220 --> 01:10:20,888
Obviously.

1270
01:10:21,054 --> 01:10:22,639
What I care about, all I care about,

1271
01:10:22,639 --> 01:10:24,933
all I fucking care about is this!

1272
01:10:25,601 --> 01:10:26,810
This case!

1273
01:10:27,227 --> 01:10:30,898
And making--making the best possible
appeal we're capable of doing, okay?

1274
01:10:31,356 --> 01:10:33,400
Now, you can make
your argument better, Sarah.

1275
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:35,235
You know that! I know that!

1276
01:10:35,402 --> 01:10:37,946
So why don't you just do it
and cut out all the bullshit?

1277
01:10:39,114 --> 01:10:41,533
Wow, you always have to have
the last word, don't you?

1278
01:11:13,106 --> 01:11:14,191
What?

1279
01:11:16,693 --> 01:11:17,778
We're going to lose.

1280
01:11:19,029 --> 01:11:21,323
W-why do you think
this case fascinates people?

1281
01:11:23,116 --> 01:11:25,994
'Cause one time or other every man
is driven crazy by his wife,

1282
01:11:26,203 --> 01:11:27,287
and in his secret heart,

1283
01:11:28,372 --> 01:11:30,707
he wants to do exactly
what Claus is accused of,

1284
01:11:31,834 --> 01:11:35,504
kill her in some sly, silent way
that can't be detected.

1285
01:11:36,046 --> 01:11:37,798
Claus is a scapegoat.

1286
01:11:38,382 --> 01:11:41,093
Someone has to suffer for the sin
that we all want to commit.

1287
01:11:43,887 --> 01:11:46,390
Alan, that's ridiculous.

1288
01:11:48,559 --> 01:11:49,977
It's ridiculous, you're right.

1289
01:11:50,435 --> 01:11:51,603
It's rid--

1290
01:11:54,773 --> 01:11:55,858
What do you got?

1291
01:11:56,191 --> 01:11:59,194
Prosecution's case is based on a theory.

1292
01:12:00,988 --> 01:12:01,864
The needle in the bag,

1293
01:12:02,030 --> 01:12:03,657
plus insulin on the needle,

1294
01:12:04,074 --> 01:12:06,827
- plus insulin in her blood.
- Right, right, yeah. Okay, fine.

1295
01:12:07,870 --> 01:12:11,081
In <i>Derek</i>, this Rhode Island Supreme Court,

1296
01:12:11,248 --> 01:12:12,332
these same judges,

1297
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:16,962
said that in a case based
on circumstantial theory,

1298
01:12:18,338 --> 01:12:20,007
the case falls apart

1299
01:12:20,841 --> 01:12:22,926
if any part of the theory is weak.

1300
01:12:24,011 --> 01:12:25,554
If there's a weak link in the chain,

1301
01:12:25,554 --> 01:12:27,139
then you throw the whole chain out?

1302
01:12:27,389 --> 01:12:28,432
Exactly.

1303
01:12:30,434 --> 01:12:31,977
Peter, that's very--that's good.

1304
01:12:32,144 --> 01:12:33,228
That--that's very good.

1305
01:12:37,774 --> 01:12:38,859
Oh, yeah, this is good.

1306
01:12:39,526 --> 01:12:40,694
- Thank you.
- Oh, yeah.

1307
01:12:40,944 --> 01:12:42,613
Wait, wait, wait.
What do you want me to do now?

1308
01:12:42,613 --> 01:12:43,405
What I want you to do?

1309
01:12:43,572 --> 01:12:46,200
I want you to find as many
alternative theories as possible.

1310
01:12:47,618 --> 01:12:50,120
Come on, come on, come on.
There's only seven days left.

1311
01:12:54,791 --> 01:12:57,419
Dersh? I'm sorry,
but you better come downstairs.

1312
01:12:58,754 --> 01:13:01,215
Hey, Dersh. Sorry to get you out of bed.

1313
01:13:02,758 --> 01:13:04,676
What do you--what do you want, more money?

1314
01:13:04,718 --> 01:13:05,802
Can you get more?

1315
01:13:07,971 --> 01:13:09,598
Can I have a glass of water, please?

1316
01:13:14,061 --> 01:13:15,145
No.

1317
01:13:15,312 --> 01:13:16,396
The reason I'm here,

1318
01:13:16,647 --> 01:13:18,273
my affidavit is inaccurate.

1319
01:13:22,694 --> 01:13:24,738
Great. Just what I need right now.

1320
01:13:26,323 --> 01:13:27,407
- That's swell.
- Yeah.

1321
01:13:28,700 --> 01:13:31,328
I left something out,
something incredibly important.

1322
01:13:32,871 --> 01:13:36,083
Remember I gave Alex's drugs
to a woman at Clarendon Court?

1323
01:13:37,209 --> 01:13:38,293
Yeah. So?

1324
01:13:38,418 --> 01:13:40,963
Well, that bitch was
definitely Sunny von Bulow.

1325
01:13:43,006 --> 01:13:44,550
David...

1326
01:13:45,425 --> 01:13:46,510
this, uh...

1327
01:13:47,511 --> 01:13:48,804
this is bad. It looks bad.

1328
01:13:49,179 --> 01:13:52,182
I've met with you, what,
five times now? All of a sudden--

1329
01:13:52,349 --> 01:13:53,725
No, it's not sudden.

1330
01:13:54,643 --> 01:13:56,645
I think I always knew,
but I became convinced

1331
01:13:56,770 --> 01:13:58,313
by staring at pictures of her.

1332
01:14:02,317 --> 01:14:04,820
Well, we can't use your affidavit
unless it's truthful.

1333
01:14:05,404 --> 01:14:06,446
Are you sure this time?

1334
01:14:06,655 --> 01:14:07,739
I swear...

1335
01:14:08,490 --> 01:14:10,492
on the body and soul of my mother.

1336
01:14:12,077 --> 01:14:13,161
Poor woman.

1337
01:14:16,248 --> 01:14:17,916
Put in this change and make him go over

1338
01:14:17,916 --> 01:14:19,209
every word of the affidavit.

1339
01:14:22,087 --> 01:14:23,255
can I use your men's room?

1340
01:14:34,808 --> 01:14:35,893
<i>More money?</i>

1341
01:14:35,976 --> 01:14:37,060
<i>Can you get more?</i>

1342
01:14:43,233 --> 01:14:45,235
But if Claus had injected her,

1343
01:14:45,444 --> 01:14:47,321
he'd have thrown away the needle, right?

1344
01:14:47,487 --> 01:14:49,573
Sure. If he threw away the insulin,

1345
01:14:50,449 --> 01:14:51,533
why keep the needle?

1346
01:14:51,658 --> 01:14:53,577
Hey, Claus is strange,
but he ain't stupid.

1347
01:14:54,536 --> 01:14:55,662
He is arrogant.

1348
01:14:56,163 --> 01:14:56,997
Is that a crime?

1349
01:14:57,164 --> 01:14:58,248
Sometimes.

1350
01:14:58,707 --> 01:15:00,626
Why are we even discussing this?

1351
01:15:00,792 --> 01:15:02,753
It's obvious. The kids framed him.

1352
01:15:02,878 --> 01:15:04,963
Whoa, you changed your tune.

1353
01:15:08,258 --> 01:15:10,302
A frame-up doesn't mean he's innocent.

1354
01:15:11,178 --> 01:15:13,096
The kids could have framed a guilty man.

1355
01:15:14,431 --> 01:15:15,516
Dersh!

1356
01:15:15,599 --> 01:15:16,683
Telephone!

1357
01:15:20,270 --> 01:15:21,438
It's Peter Macintosh.

1358
01:15:22,648 --> 01:15:23,732
Yeah?

1359
01:15:29,363 --> 01:15:30,447
You know what it is?

1360
01:15:33,450 --> 01:15:34,535
Okay.

1361
01:15:39,039 --> 01:15:41,250
Word in Rhode Island
is that the state can't lose.

1362
01:15:41,625 --> 01:15:43,085
They got an ace up their sleeve.

1363
01:15:44,127 --> 01:15:45,212
What is it?

1364
01:15:48,090 --> 01:15:49,466
He's going to try to find out.

1365
01:15:52,219 --> 01:15:53,303
All right, my friend...

1366
01:15:53,637 --> 01:15:54,721
Friend? I like that.

1367
01:15:54,888 --> 01:15:55,931
Nothing personal.

1368
01:15:56,807 --> 01:15:58,642
Okay, no students, no witnesses.

1369
01:15:59,101 --> 01:16:00,352
Second coma. Let's hear it.

1370
01:16:01,270 --> 01:16:02,396
Well, Alan,

1371
01:16:02,688 --> 01:16:04,982
strange as it may seem now in retrospect--

1372
01:16:05,148 --> 01:16:06,233
Claus, cut the bullshit.

1373
01:16:06,316 --> 01:16:07,860
December 20, 1980.

1374
01:16:11,029 --> 01:16:12,239
Sunny was unwell.

1375
01:16:12,614 --> 01:16:15,742
<i>We'd been arguing all afternoon.</i>

1376
01:16:16,493 --> 01:16:19,580
<i>I'd at last been offered a new position
in the oil business,</i>

1377
01:16:19,746 --> 01:16:22,207
<i>which would have meant
my spending some time in Europe.</i>

1378
01:16:26,962 --> 01:16:28,922
<i>Well, the discussion must have escalated,</i>

1379
01:16:29,089 --> 01:16:31,133
<i>because I went to talk to the children.</i>

1380
01:16:33,468 --> 01:16:36,680
<i>This cargo will bring 50,000 gold florins</i>

1381
01:16:36,889 --> 01:16:38,307
<i>from any rebels worth the name.</i>

1382
01:16:38,473 --> 01:16:39,808
<i>50,000 florins?</i>

1383
01:16:40,017 --> 01:16:41,685
<i>That's a pretty good take.</i>

1384
01:16:41,935 --> 01:16:43,103
<i>Let's put it to the vote.</i>

1385
01:16:43,103 --> 01:16:44,271
<i>All those in favor--</i>

1386
01:16:44,438 --> 01:16:46,857
<i>If you'll forgive
my interrupting, skipper,</i>

1387
01:16:47,149 --> 01:16:48,859
<i>I'd like to think before I...</i>

1388
01:16:51,695 --> 01:16:54,698
I... I've something to tell you both.

1389
01:16:55,032 --> 01:16:57,826
<i>We're heading for
the biggest and the best pirate days ever!</i>

1390
01:16:58,202 --> 01:16:59,995
I...

1391
01:17:04,208 --> 01:17:05,292
It looks as if...

1392
01:17:06,710 --> 01:17:07,878
as though...

1393
01:17:08,378 --> 01:17:10,589
Mummy and I are going to have to split up,

1394
01:17:12,382 --> 01:17:15,177
because my work is something
she just cannot tolerate.

1395
01:17:15,511 --> 01:17:17,221
Mummy says things like that.

1396
01:17:18,639 --> 01:17:19,973
She always gets over it.

1397
01:17:20,682 --> 01:17:23,227
Yes, but this has been
going on for too long.

1398
01:17:31,401 --> 01:17:33,946
I'm going to Europe for a few months
in the new year,

1399
01:17:36,073 --> 01:17:37,866
and this will probably lead to a split.

1400
01:17:40,077 --> 01:17:41,662
It's all right. She'll get over it.

1401
01:17:45,290 --> 01:17:48,001
Yeah, well, Alexander says
that conversation happened the next day.

1402
01:17:48,001 --> 01:17:49,628
Can you imagine anything more absurd

1403
01:17:49,837 --> 01:17:52,005
than announcing your intention
to divorce a woman

1404
01:17:52,047 --> 01:17:53,841
who's just fallen into a coma?

1405
01:17:54,716 --> 01:17:58,262
<i>No. That evening,
everything seemed normal enough.</i>

1406
01:17:59,805 --> 01:18:00,931
<i>Not cheerful,</i>

1407
01:18:01,890 --> 01:18:04,518
<i>but then, we didn't usually
giggle at mealtimes.</i>

1408
01:18:05,686 --> 01:18:08,355
<i>Despite her doctor's warnings
about sweets,</i>

1409
01:18:08,564 --> 01:18:11,525
<i>the only thing Sunny consumed
was a sundae.</i>

1410
01:18:23,328 --> 01:18:26,373
<i>After supper, I went to finish off
some work in my study.</i>

1411
01:18:27,457 --> 01:18:28,375
Well, what should we all do?

1412
01:18:28,542 --> 01:18:30,919
<i>The others decided to chat
in the living room.</i>

1413
01:18:32,129 --> 01:18:33,714
Ah, that would be lovely, but...

1414
01:18:34,423 --> 01:18:37,259
first I need to go to my--
to my room for just a minute.

1415
01:18:51,732 --> 01:18:53,942
<i>After about an hour, I dropped in on them.</i>

1416
01:18:58,780 --> 01:19:00,449
Darling, would you care for anything?

1417
01:19:04,912 --> 01:19:07,164
if there's some...

1418
01:19:08,373 --> 01:19:09,791
Chicken Bullion left.

1419
01:19:14,129 --> 01:19:15,214
I'll look.

1420
01:19:30,521 --> 01:19:31,605
There you are, darling.

1421
01:19:41,990 --> 01:19:43,075
Thank you.

1422
01:19:51,208 --> 01:19:53,544
How is your work... coming?

1423
01:19:53,669 --> 01:19:54,753
I'm totally flummoxed.

1424
01:19:54,837 --> 01:19:56,797
I can't get the figures to make any sense.

1425
01:20:00,300 --> 01:20:02,010
Why don't you call your friend Deborah?

1426
01:20:03,428 --> 01:20:05,055
I doubt she'd be in Saturday night.

1427
01:20:09,935 --> 01:20:13,355
So, Deborah, I think you'll agree,
that's 728... right, now.

1428
01:20:13,939 --> 01:20:15,023
<i>But Deborah was home,</i>

1429
01:20:15,190 --> 01:20:17,609
and we did talk for some time until...

1430
01:20:19,069 --> 01:20:19,945
- Claus.
- Hold on.

1431
01:20:20,112 --> 01:20:21,446
Come quick. Mummy's not well.

1432
01:20:22,114 --> 01:20:24,575
Deborah, can I call you back
in the morning? Thanks.

1433
01:20:24,950 --> 01:20:28,036
Her voice got very weak and
she almost fell down. I had to help her.

1434
01:20:39,089 --> 01:20:40,591
Somebody open a window.

1435
01:20:44,261 --> 01:20:46,180
I find the chill reassuring.

1436
01:20:51,143 --> 01:20:52,686
Now I must speak with Claus.

1437
01:20:52,853 --> 01:20:53,937
- Night, Mummy.
- Night.

1438
01:20:59,443 --> 01:21:00,527
Good night, darling.

1439
01:21:03,363 --> 01:21:04,448
Good night, Alex.

1440
01:21:05,157 --> 01:21:06,241
She'll be all right.

1441
01:21:16,043 --> 01:21:18,170
That is, if Claus has time to talk.

1442
01:21:19,004 --> 01:21:19,796
Or are you going to work

1443
01:21:19,963 --> 01:21:22,216
every spare moment
right through Christmas?

1444
01:21:26,011 --> 01:21:27,846
Is your work really so fascinating,

1445
01:21:28,514 --> 01:21:29,848
or are you trying to drive me away?

1446
01:21:29,848 --> 01:21:31,975
Because if you are,
it's succeeding beautifully,

1447
01:21:32,059 --> 01:21:33,227
because I don't want this.

1448
01:21:34,269 --> 01:21:35,521
I didn't marry you for this.

1449
01:21:36,522 --> 01:21:37,648
I could have had anybody.

1450
01:21:37,940 --> 01:21:39,483
With my money? Anybody.

1451
01:21:41,068 --> 01:21:42,152
Well?

1452
01:21:43,237 --> 01:21:44,321
Say something!

1453
01:21:46,698 --> 01:21:47,783
Do something!

1454
01:21:49,034 --> 01:21:50,118
Be a man!

1455
01:21:52,037 --> 01:21:53,413
I already have a butler.

1456
01:21:58,460 --> 01:21:59,545
Do something!

1457
01:22:00,712 --> 01:22:03,090
I don't want this! I don't!

1458
01:22:03,298 --> 01:22:04,466
I don't want this!

1459
01:22:05,425 --> 01:22:06,510
Please! I don't--

1460
01:22:06,718 --> 01:22:08,053
I don't want th...

1461
01:22:09,972 --> 01:22:12,391
<i>The same conversation
as the previous year,</i>

1462
01:22:12,850 --> 01:22:14,810
<i>only this time with greater venom.</i>

1463
01:22:14,977 --> 01:22:16,436
You've always been afraid of me.

1464
01:22:16,812 --> 01:22:18,146
It's not because of my money.

1465
01:22:18,647 --> 01:22:20,440
It's basically because you're a coward.

1466
01:22:21,525 --> 01:22:23,569
Because your pitiful masculinity
is so fragile

1467
01:22:23,735 --> 01:22:25,821
you can't stand the idea of confrontation,

1468
01:22:25,946 --> 01:22:28,323
so you go off with Miss Botsky--

1469
01:22:28,490 --> 01:22:29,575
Good night.

1470
01:22:47,676 --> 01:22:50,387
<i>As was usual,
I was awakened before dawn.</i>

1471
01:22:56,685 --> 01:22:58,979
<i>I let the dogs out, as was customary.</i>

1472
01:23:04,067 --> 01:23:05,485
<i>I went back through the bedroom</i>

1473
01:23:05,527 --> 01:23:08,363
<i>to my study as quietly as possible.</i>

1474
01:23:14,119 --> 01:23:16,538
<i>I did not notice if my wife was in bed.</i>

1475
01:23:16,872 --> 01:23:20,209
<i>I did not notice if the light was on
under the bathroom door.</i>

1476
01:23:20,751 --> 01:23:23,462
<i>Had it been on,
I wouldn't have given it a thought.</i>

1477
01:23:24,338 --> 01:23:26,840
<i>I did my exercises, showered,</i>

1478
01:23:27,132 --> 01:23:29,009
<i>and then I called Deborah Knowles.</i>

1479
01:23:29,510 --> 01:23:31,970
Well, I mean,
it's stable and it's profitable.

1480
01:23:33,263 --> 01:23:34,723
<i>Can anyone really believe,</i>

1481
01:23:34,848 --> 01:23:37,059
<i>if I was trying to murder my wife,</i>

1482
01:23:37,226 --> 01:23:40,812
<i>that I would spend an hour
going over a tedious set of figures?</i>

1483
01:23:42,481 --> 01:23:44,816
<i>After the call, I passed
through the bedroom again.</i>

1484
01:23:44,983 --> 01:23:46,193
<i>I remember it was freezing.</i>

1485
01:23:46,735 --> 01:23:49,154
<i>By this time,
Sunny was certainly not in bed,</i>

1486
01:23:49,738 --> 01:23:51,907
<i>and I heard water running in the bathroom.</i>

1487
01:23:55,452 --> 01:23:58,413
<i>I had breakfast, walked the dogs,</i>

1488
01:23:58,997 --> 01:24:00,082
<i>and on my return,</i>

1489
01:24:00,290 --> 01:24:02,251
<i>asked the children where Mummy was.</i>

1490
01:24:03,544 --> 01:24:04,795
Has Mummy had breakfast yet?

1491
01:24:06,004 --> 01:24:07,089
We haven't seen her.

1492
01:24:11,844 --> 01:24:12,928
Sunny?

1493
01:24:14,930 --> 01:24:17,015
<i>Her bathroom was her private sanctuary.</i>

1494
01:24:17,432 --> 01:24:20,185
<i>No one entered it,
except the maid, of course,</i>

1495
01:24:20,352 --> 01:24:21,436
<i>to clean up.</i>

1496
01:24:22,354 --> 01:24:25,274
<i>Sometimes she stayed there for hours,
or so it seemed.</i>

1497
01:24:25,816 --> 01:24:29,444
<i>One can only speculate what goes on
behind a closed door.</i>

1498
01:24:29,695 --> 01:24:30,946
Sunny, are you there?

1499
01:24:32,656 --> 01:24:34,533
<i>I hesitated even to knock.</i>

1500
01:24:37,578 --> 01:24:38,662
Darling?

1501
01:24:55,012 --> 01:24:56,096
Sunny?

1502
01:24:58,557 --> 01:24:59,683
Oh, God.

1503
01:25:01,310 --> 01:25:03,353
<i>Once I'd ascertained she was breathing,</i>

1504
01:25:03,478 --> 01:25:05,355
<i>I went to fetch Alexander.</i>

1505
01:25:06,273 --> 01:25:07,733
Why not call an ambulance first?

1506
01:25:08,150 --> 01:25:10,319
Panic, Alan, panic.

1507
01:25:10,736 --> 01:25:11,820
I mean, I--I...

1508
01:25:12,821 --> 01:25:15,073
I--I needed to talk to somebody. There--

1509
01:25:16,116 --> 01:25:17,701
There was no--I wasn't worried that--

1510
01:25:17,701 --> 01:25:19,286
she was breathing normally.

1511
01:25:19,453 --> 01:25:21,955
It wasn't--It wasn't like the year before.

1512
01:25:23,165 --> 01:25:25,292
I mean, in retrospect it seems absurd,

1513
01:25:25,501 --> 01:25:28,504
but I looked at her upper lip,
she had blood on it.

1514
01:25:28,712 --> 01:25:30,047
I thought she'd broken a tooth.

1515
01:25:30,047 --> 01:25:32,299
That was the extent of my concern,

1516
01:25:33,342 --> 01:25:34,426
and that's...

1517
01:25:34,968 --> 01:25:36,470
that's really all--all I can...

1518
01:25:37,304 --> 01:25:38,555
that's really all I can say.

1519
01:25:40,974 --> 01:25:42,392
Yeah, but is it the truth?

1520
01:25:42,809 --> 01:25:43,894
Of course.

1521
01:25:44,228 --> 01:25:45,354
But not the whole truth?

1522
01:25:46,063 --> 01:25:48,482
I don't know the whole truth.

1523
01:25:48,732 --> 01:25:51,151
I don't know what happened to her.

1524
01:25:51,318 --> 01:25:52,486
Wish I didn't believe you.

1525
01:25:53,403 --> 01:25:56,198
You know, it's very hard to trust someone
you don't understand.

1526
01:25:59,034 --> 01:26:00,202
You're a very strange man.

1527
01:26:02,329 --> 01:26:03,789
You have no idea.

1528
01:26:12,589 --> 01:26:13,507
Everybody here?

1529
01:26:13,674 --> 01:26:15,843
Peter Macintosh is late.
Says he's got bad news.

1530
01:26:18,345 --> 01:26:19,429
There he is.

1531
01:26:32,901 --> 01:26:33,986
Well?

1532
01:26:35,028 --> 01:26:36,530
I found out what the state has.

1533
01:26:36,697 --> 01:26:38,240
- Mm-hm.
- Their ace in the hole.

1534
01:26:39,616 --> 01:26:40,701
It's you.

1535
01:26:42,911 --> 01:26:43,996
It's me?

1536
01:26:44,288 --> 01:26:47,875
David Marriott taped
all his conversations with you.

1537
01:26:48,208 --> 01:26:49,293
Oh, great.

1538
01:26:50,502 --> 01:26:54,715
The scuttlebutt is, if we win the case,
you go to prison.

1539
01:26:56,091 --> 01:26:57,217
What did I say?

1540
01:26:58,177 --> 01:27:01,180
Good ol' corrupt Rhode Island,
I got a friend to get me an excerpt.

1541
01:27:01,555 --> 01:27:02,639
<i>The reason I'm here,</i>

1542
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:05,058
<i>my affidavit is inaccurate.</i>

1543
01:27:06,059 --> 01:27:08,395
<i>David, this is bad. It looks bad.</i>

1544
01:27:08,604 --> 01:27:09,897
<i>What, you want more money?</i>

1545
01:27:10,647 --> 01:27:11,732
<i>Can you get more?</i>

1546
01:27:12,900 --> 01:27:13,984
<i>Yeah.</i>

1547
01:27:15,068 --> 01:27:16,945
Hey, that is not what I said.

1548
01:27:17,154 --> 01:27:17,863
It's on tape, Alan.

1549
01:27:18,071 --> 01:27:20,324
I don't care if it's on tape,
it's not what I said.

1550
01:27:20,532 --> 01:27:21,950
- What do we do?
- I don't know.

1551
01:27:26,413 --> 01:27:28,498
I--I'll tell you what we do.
We ignore it, that's what we--

1552
01:27:28,498 --> 01:27:30,501
Alan, with that tape,
it's your whole career.

1553
01:27:33,420 --> 01:27:35,923
I now believe Claus is innocent. So.

1554
01:27:36,340 --> 01:27:39,676
We've decided,
no tricks, no technicalities.

1555
01:27:39,801 --> 01:27:41,386
We are going to base our appeal

1556
01:27:41,553 --> 01:27:44,973
directly and explicitly
on Claus' innocence.

1557
01:27:45,390 --> 01:27:46,475
That's not proper.

1558
01:27:46,558 --> 01:27:48,810
An appeal has to be
based on judicial error.

1559
01:27:49,061 --> 01:27:50,938
It is. The judge should've
thrown out the case.

1560
01:27:50,938 --> 01:27:52,981
How can you say
there was insufficient evidence

1561
01:27:52,981 --> 01:27:54,149
when a jury convicted him?

1562
01:27:54,316 --> 01:27:56,652
- That's a good point, but--
- But that's what we are saying.

1563
01:27:56,652 --> 01:27:58,862
If the rules don't work, you change them.

1564
01:27:59,613 --> 01:28:01,949
Red Auerbach got
the jump ball rule changed

1565
01:28:02,115 --> 01:28:03,659
when the Celtics had a short team.

1566
01:28:03,700 --> 01:28:05,577
Uh, but it's dangerous politically, Alan.

1567
01:28:05,619 --> 01:28:07,579
If the judges feel insulted,
then we're gonna find--

1568
01:28:07,579 --> 01:28:10,958
Wait up, here. State Supreme Court
shouldn't even look at an appeal

1569
01:28:11,083 --> 01:28:12,167
based on new evidence.

1570
01:28:13,961 --> 01:28:17,089
Hey, guys, I'll take care of that, okay?

1571
01:28:17,381 --> 01:28:18,757
You just--you leave it to me.

1572
01:28:20,676 --> 01:28:22,219
Look, I know you're all exhausted.

1573
01:28:22,636 --> 01:28:24,888
We got four days left.

1574
01:28:25,556 --> 01:28:27,558
What we do now
is going to decide this thing.

1575
01:28:27,558 --> 01:28:28,767
Do you wanna win, or not?

1576
01:28:29,101 --> 01:28:30,185
- Alan!
- What?

1577
01:28:30,352 --> 01:28:32,437
- We've got something.
- We've hit the jackpot.

1578
01:28:33,355 --> 01:28:36,275
Our needles that had
amobarbital and Valium...

1579
01:28:36,441 --> 01:28:37,234
But no insulin...

1580
01:28:37,526 --> 01:28:40,571
Both came back with
false positive readings

1581
01:28:40,779 --> 01:28:41,613
for insulin.

1582
01:28:41,780 --> 01:28:42,990
Okay.

1583
01:28:43,156 --> 01:28:44,825
One was 93, the other 282.

1584
01:28:44,992 --> 01:28:47,619
We've knocked out every piece
of their medical case.

1585
01:28:50,747 --> 01:28:51,373
Good work, good work.

1586
01:28:51,540 --> 01:28:54,376
Okay, now, now all they've got left
is my neck.

1587
01:28:55,502 --> 01:28:57,754
Anybody know anything
about editing audio tapes?

1588
01:29:07,431 --> 01:29:09,308
Defense! For what, defense!

1589
01:29:09,433 --> 01:29:10,517
- Come on!
- Come on!

1590
01:29:20,861 --> 01:29:21,945
All right, Alan.

1591
01:29:22,988 --> 01:29:24,031
- Come on!
- Hey!

1592
01:29:24,406 --> 01:29:25,490
Hurry up!

1593
01:29:26,033 --> 01:29:27,576
- What's going on?
- Pass it, Alan.

1594
01:29:28,202 --> 01:29:30,579
I got it. Wait a minute.
I got it, I got it.

1595
01:29:30,746 --> 01:29:32,122
- Where's Raj?
- He's upstairs.

1596
01:29:32,623 --> 01:29:33,749
- Where you going?
- Alan!

1597
01:29:34,875 --> 01:29:37,336
Raj, Raj, I got it.

1598
01:29:38,003 --> 01:29:39,087
I got it.

1599
01:29:39,254 --> 01:29:40,339
Remember Maria?

1600
01:29:40,714 --> 01:29:42,341
<i>She could have said it like this...</i>

1601
01:29:42,674 --> 01:29:43,759
Insulin?

1602
01:29:45,928 --> 01:29:47,429
For what, insulin?

1603
01:29:49,139 --> 01:29:51,225
My lady is not diabetic.

1604
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:54,770
You see? "My lady is not diabetic."

1605
01:29:55,521 --> 01:29:58,232
She is assuming that the bag is Sunny's.

1606
01:29:58,774 --> 01:30:00,859
Her first reaction, instantaneous,

1607
01:30:01,026 --> 01:30:02,945
not part of a legal strategy
devised later,

1608
01:30:03,111 --> 01:30:04,655
is that the stuff in the black bag

1609
01:30:04,696 --> 01:30:06,240
belonged to Sunny, not Claus.

1610
01:30:06,406 --> 01:30:07,866
Who's gonna know better than she?

1611
01:30:08,367 --> 01:30:09,451
Start writing.

1612
01:30:10,744 --> 01:30:13,622
You are not God, you are a prosecutor,

1613
01:30:13,789 --> 01:30:16,124
and Alabama cannot execute
those Johnson kids

1614
01:30:16,250 --> 01:30:17,751
before the Supreme Court rules!

1615
01:30:18,043 --> 01:30:19,795
That--that's right! You heard me right.

1616
01:30:19,795 --> 01:30:21,755
You've got two hours
to get to Rhode Island.

1617
01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:22,714
You're gonna have to speed.

1618
01:30:22,881 --> 01:30:24,007
You want me to commit a crime?

1619
01:30:24,007 --> 01:30:25,551
Of course not! Because if you do,
they're gonna stop you,

1620
01:30:25,551 --> 01:30:26,927
you're not gonna make the deadline.

1621
01:30:26,927 --> 01:30:29,680
I'm tellin' you right now, buddy,
those kids fry, you're next!

1622
01:30:29,847 --> 01:30:30,722
You forgot your jacket.

1623
01:30:30,848 --> 01:30:31,932
You're damn right!

1624
01:30:32,683 --> 01:30:35,310
<i>Some startling developments
in the von Bulow case.</i>

1625
01:30:35,644 --> 01:30:37,688
<i>Harvard Law School
professor Alan Dershowitz</i>

1626
01:30:37,855 --> 01:30:40,399
<i>had been accused of paying
for falsified testimony,</i>

1627
01:30:40,941 --> 01:30:42,985
<i>but those accusations
were discredited today</i>

1628
01:30:43,151 --> 01:30:44,820
<i>by the Rhode Island attorney general,</i>

1629
01:30:44,945 --> 01:30:47,406
<i>who announced that
David Marriott's tape was doctored</i>

1630
01:30:47,823 --> 01:30:50,367
<i>and that Marriott
is not a reliable witness.</i>

1631
01:30:50,909 --> 01:30:52,286
So, what was he up to, Alan?

1632
01:30:52,786 --> 01:30:54,037
Who was he working for?

1633
01:30:54,496 --> 01:30:55,581
Damned if I know.

1634
01:30:59,710 --> 01:31:01,712
Hope they don't think
he was working for you.

1635
01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:02,796
Alan, no one's going to think--

1636
01:31:02,963 --> 01:31:05,007
Look, I don't think you did it, okay?

1637
01:31:06,175 --> 01:31:07,551
But at the Chinese restaurant,

1638
01:31:08,010 --> 01:31:09,386
you did duck the big question.

1639
01:31:09,720 --> 01:31:11,513
Chuck is our Alexandra Isles expert.

1640
01:31:13,599 --> 01:31:15,142
Sunny's Aspirin overdose...

1641
01:31:16,560 --> 01:31:18,020
why did she take so many?

1642
01:31:19,855 --> 01:31:22,316
What happened? Sunny had a headache?

1643
01:31:25,319 --> 01:31:29,072
Headache... was Alexandra, right?

1644
01:31:33,785 --> 01:31:34,870
Let's hear it, Claus.

1645
01:31:37,623 --> 01:31:39,291
Alexandra was spiteful.

1646
01:31:41,043 --> 01:31:45,297
On the day of Sunny's Aspirin overdose,

1647
01:31:46,381 --> 01:31:49,218
she returned some presents I'd given her,

1648
01:31:49,384 --> 01:31:51,136
some photographs...

1649
01:31:51,970 --> 01:31:53,055
love letters.

1650
01:31:54,890 --> 01:31:57,184
She dropped them off in a shopping bag.

1651
01:31:58,352 --> 01:31:59,436
Did Sunny see them?

1652
01:32:00,562 --> 01:32:01,647
Sunny was home.

1653
01:32:02,856 --> 01:32:03,941
I was not.

1654
01:32:05,400 --> 01:32:09,404
Alexandra neglected to address
the package to me.

1655
01:32:10,113 --> 01:32:12,908
I want to be left alone
with all those beau--beautiful letters.

1656
01:32:13,700 --> 01:32:16,745
What did you do with those letters?
Why did you write those letters?

1657
01:32:19,206 --> 01:32:22,292
There's a big difference
between knowing about an affair

1658
01:32:23,210 --> 01:32:26,129
and having love letters
crammed down your throat.

1659
01:32:28,382 --> 01:32:30,509
It seems that
Sunny did care about your affair.

1660
01:32:31,343 --> 01:32:32,427
She cared a lot.

1661
01:32:36,181 --> 01:32:37,266
Why didn't you tell us?

1662
01:32:39,059 --> 01:32:40,185
Everything was open book.

1663
01:32:42,104 --> 01:32:43,772
"Get the best experts.

1664
01:32:44,147 --> 01:32:45,482
I'm not afraid of the truth."

1665
01:32:50,821 --> 01:32:54,116
Looks to me like Alexandra
tried to force Sunny into a suicide.

1666
01:32:56,952 --> 01:32:58,453
Or they plotted it together.

1667
01:33:00,330 --> 01:33:02,082
Either way, he's protecting Alexandra,

1668
01:33:02,791 --> 01:33:04,418
because he's still in love with her.

1669
01:33:04,418 --> 01:33:05,502
And why not?

1670
01:33:05,878 --> 01:33:07,045
I mean, hey, she's a babe.

1671
01:33:09,798 --> 01:33:11,175
'Course I still love her.

1672
01:33:14,178 --> 01:33:15,262
And hate her.

1673
01:33:17,639 --> 01:33:21,560
Alexandra, Sunny, Andrea...

1674
01:33:24,813 --> 01:33:25,898
I love them all.

1675
01:33:34,114 --> 01:33:36,825
<i>Being a human being is very literal.</i>

1676
01:33:37,367 --> 01:33:38,452
<i>You're trapped.</i>

1677
01:33:38,744 --> 01:33:40,954
<i>Time moves in only one direction,</i>

1678
01:33:41,330 --> 01:33:42,414
<i>forward.</i>

1679
01:33:42,497 --> 01:33:44,333
<i>It's stupid and boring</i>

1680
01:33:44,499 --> 01:33:46,251
<i>and results in a lot of silliness.</i>

1681
01:33:46,585 --> 01:33:49,213
<i>Example, the legal process.</i>

1682
01:33:51,006 --> 01:33:52,508
<i>In this particular case,</i>

1683
01:33:52,674 --> 01:33:56,345
<i>a vast amount of time,
effort, and money was spent</i>

1684
01:33:56,512 --> 01:33:58,847
<i>trying to determine
precisely what happened</i>

1685
01:33:59,014 --> 01:34:01,433
<i>on those two nights so close to Christmas,</i>

1686
01:34:01,767 --> 01:34:06,939
<i>December 26th, 1979, December 20th, 1980.</i>

1687
01:34:08,607 --> 01:34:09,775
<i>Happened right here.</i>

1688
01:34:11,693 --> 01:34:14,780
<i>Even now it all looks the same,</i>

1689
01:34:15,531 --> 01:34:18,867
<i>feels the same, smells the same.</i>

1690
01:34:19,952 --> 01:34:23,372
<i>If you could just go back in time
and take a peek,</i>

1691
01:34:23,956 --> 01:34:25,040
<i>you'd know,</i>

1692
01:34:26,834 --> 01:34:28,961
<i>and all this would be unnecessary.</i>

1693
01:34:29,336 --> 01:34:30,420
All rise!

1694
01:34:34,591 --> 01:34:35,884
Hear ye, hear ye!

1695
01:34:36,051 --> 01:34:38,679
All persons having business
before the Supreme Court

1696
01:34:38,846 --> 01:34:41,723
holding in Providence within and for
the state of Rhode Island

1697
01:34:41,890 --> 01:34:43,016
may now draw near...

1698
01:34:44,017 --> 01:34:45,102
<i>Then again,</i>

1699
01:34:46,019 --> 01:34:47,938
<i>everyone enjoys a circus.</i>

1700
01:34:49,356 --> 01:34:50,440
Be seated.

1701
01:34:53,235 --> 01:34:55,237
If the appellant is ready,
you may proceed.

1702
01:34:57,489 --> 01:34:58,240
If it please the court,

1703
01:34:58,407 --> 01:35:01,118
oral argument will be made
by out-of-state counsel,

1704
01:35:01,285 --> 01:35:03,287
professor Alan Dershowitz.

1705
01:35:13,088 --> 01:35:14,173
Your Honors,

1706
01:35:14,590 --> 01:35:16,925
you may not like Claus von Bulow.

1707
01:35:17,759 --> 01:35:19,678
You may think he is guilty of something,

1708
01:35:19,845 --> 01:35:22,264
but I am here to tell you he is innocent.

1709
01:35:23,265 --> 01:35:24,183
Our new evidence will clear--

1710
01:35:24,349 --> 01:35:28,228
Professor, you know there isn't
a single case which allows you

1711
01:35:28,395 --> 01:35:30,814
to introduce new evidence on appeal.

1712
01:35:31,106 --> 01:35:32,858
Well, there is one, Your Honor,

1713
01:35:33,692 --> 01:35:36,111
and you wrote it. <i>Derek</i>.

1714
01:35:37,696 --> 01:35:38,780
In <i>Derek</i>...

1715
01:35:39,448 --> 01:35:41,325
in <i>Derek</i>, you yourself said

1716
01:35:41,783 --> 01:35:45,621
that a case based on circumstantial theory
rather than fact

1717
01:35:46,038 --> 01:35:47,122
only stands up

1718
01:35:47,247 --> 01:35:49,625
if no other theory makes sense.

1719
01:35:50,042 --> 01:35:52,669
The only way to show a better theory

1720
01:35:52,836 --> 01:35:53,921
is to present it.

1721
01:35:59,968 --> 01:36:01,553
Get on with it, counselor.

1722
01:36:03,305 --> 01:36:05,933
The first issue is the encrusted needle.

1723
01:36:07,184 --> 01:36:08,560
<i>I hope you will have the courage</i>

1724
01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:10,145
<i>to free an innocent man</i>

1725
01:36:10,312 --> 01:36:12,314
<i>and remedy a grave injustice.</i>

1726
01:36:12,898 --> 01:36:14,066
This will never work.

1727
01:36:14,650 --> 01:36:16,026
Too smart for his own good.

1728
01:36:17,110 --> 01:36:18,570
Alan says it will work,

1729
01:36:19,655 --> 01:36:21,782
if the prosecutor takes the bait.

1730
01:36:22,783 --> 01:36:23,909
What do you mean, "bait"?

1731
01:36:25,369 --> 01:36:26,787
Argues the evidence.

1732
01:36:27,996 --> 01:36:28,664
<i>Your Honors,</i>

1733
01:36:28,830 --> 01:36:31,500
introduction of new evidence on appeal

1734
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:36,213
violates every principle of jurisprudence,

1735
01:36:36,630 --> 01:36:37,881
every statute,

1736
01:36:38,632 --> 01:36:41,134
every precedent, every rule of ethics.

1737
01:36:41,510 --> 01:36:43,178
Ah, he's nailing us right off the bat.

1738
01:36:43,178 --> 01:36:44,972
I am not going to stand before you

1739
01:36:45,138 --> 01:36:47,391
and argue Mr. von Bulow's guilt.

1740
01:36:50,227 --> 01:36:51,311
However,

1741
01:36:51,645 --> 01:36:54,648
I have no choice but to address
Mr. Dershowitz' arguments

1742
01:36:54,815 --> 01:36:55,899
one by one.

1743
01:36:57,234 --> 01:36:58,318
- Bingo.
- First,

1744
01:36:59,444 --> 01:37:01,113
the matter of the encrusted needle...

1745
01:37:02,614 --> 01:37:05,242
So? Now it's up to the judges.

1746
01:37:05,993 --> 01:37:07,327
Tell me what you really think.

1747
01:37:07,327 --> 01:37:09,746
I think it's easier to love somebody

1748
01:37:09,913 --> 01:37:11,081
than to live with them.

1749
01:37:13,166 --> 01:37:14,668
Love is fantasy.

1750
01:37:15,043 --> 01:37:16,587
Living is work.

1751
01:37:16,837 --> 01:37:19,756
I'll say. And those people
don't like to work.

1752
01:37:20,257 --> 01:37:22,676
But, if you don't do the work,
the love dies,

1753
01:37:23,010 --> 01:37:25,053
and nobody wants to deal with that one.

1754
01:37:27,431 --> 01:37:28,515
The love died,

1755
01:37:29,183 --> 01:37:30,434
Sunny couldn't accept it...

1756
01:37:31,852 --> 01:37:33,520
so Claus tried to kill her?

1757
01:37:33,687 --> 01:37:34,771
Maybe.

1758
01:37:35,022 --> 01:37:36,106
I don't agree.

1759
01:37:37,024 --> 01:37:40,194
Face it, all we had to do
was prove the state made a lousy case.

1760
01:37:40,611 --> 01:37:42,404
We didn't prove that Claus was innocent.

1761
01:37:42,446 --> 01:37:44,865
We couldn't. We didn't have to,
and he probably isn't.

1762
01:37:44,865 --> 01:37:45,782
He isn't? You mean, you thi--

1763
01:37:45,949 --> 01:37:48,076
I mean, so,
he didn't inject Sunny with insulin.

1764
01:37:48,577 --> 01:37:51,205
So what? Break it down.
First coma, no problem.

1765
01:37:51,371 --> 01:37:54,458
Even the attending doctor thought
it was caused by hypoglycemia,

1766
01:37:54,625 --> 01:37:56,251
loss of air to the brain, and so on.

1767
01:37:56,293 --> 01:37:58,629
All right. But what about the second coma?

1768
01:37:58,795 --> 01:38:00,964
I mean, why does Claus act so guilty?

1769
01:38:01,131 --> 01:38:04,176
Hey, come on, wouldn't any man feel guilty
if his wife was suicidal?

1770
01:38:04,801 --> 01:38:07,971
Yeah, so, so maybe she took
the sleeping pills

1771
01:38:08,138 --> 01:38:09,848
with the intention of killing herself,

1772
01:38:10,474 --> 01:38:14,728
but how did she end up lying
on a marble floor in a freezing bathroom

1773
01:38:14,895 --> 01:38:16,522
with her head under the toilet bowl?

1774
01:38:16,897 --> 01:38:17,981
How about this?

1775
01:39:06,321 --> 01:39:07,906
<i>Sunny wakes up miserable.</i>

1776
01:39:13,579 --> 01:39:15,038
<i>Second marriage is over.</i>

1777
01:39:15,205 --> 01:39:16,373
<i>Children are leaving home.</i>

1778
01:39:17,791 --> 01:39:18,876
<i>What's to live for?</i>

1779
01:41:32,217 --> 01:41:33,719
But when she was found,

1780
01:41:33,886 --> 01:41:35,637
her nightgown was hiked over her waist.

1781
01:41:35,762 --> 01:41:38,182
Exactly. How did it get there?

1782
01:41:39,850 --> 01:41:41,768
<i>Okay, let's say
she's standing at the sink.</i>

1783
01:41:42,352 --> 01:41:43,437
<i>She has to pee.</i>

1784
01:41:43,854 --> 01:41:45,272
<i>At exactly the same instant,</i>

1785
01:41:45,731 --> 01:41:46,815
<i>the drugs hit.</i>

1786
01:41:47,399 --> 01:41:48,483
<i>Body convulses.</i>

1787
01:41:48,859 --> 01:41:50,444
<i>She grabs the nightgown.</i>

1788
01:41:55,365 --> 01:41:56,200
I don't buy that.

1789
01:41:56,366 --> 01:41:58,160
It does seem far-fetched.

1790
01:41:58,827 --> 01:42:00,037
So's the truth sometimes.

1791
01:42:00,204 --> 01:42:03,081
Oh, bull. I think she took
the barbiturates the previous night.

1792
01:42:03,332 --> 01:42:05,876
<i>And, let's say he saw her take them,</i>

1793
01:42:06,627 --> 01:42:10,047
<i>or she told him she was going to
before they fell asleep.</i>

1794
01:42:18,639 --> 01:42:21,600
<i>This time, he wants her to succeed.</i>

1795
01:42:31,818 --> 01:42:32,903
Sunny?

1796
01:43:00,180 --> 01:43:02,182
<i>Maybe there's some way
he can help her along.</i>

1797
01:43:03,642 --> 01:43:06,770
<i>Of course, the open window.</i>

1798
01:43:07,771 --> 01:43:09,273
<i>Zero degrees.</i>

1799
01:43:10,774 --> 01:43:12,276
<i>But somebody might see her there.</i>

1800
01:43:13,694 --> 01:43:16,905
<i>The action of dragging her
would naturally pull up the nightgown.</i>

1801
01:43:47,352 --> 01:43:50,189
<i>In this cold, how long could she survive?</i>

1802
01:44:10,918 --> 01:44:12,252
<i>Remember what Sunny said?</i>

1803
01:44:13,587 --> 01:44:14,963
<i>"I would have been better off.</i>

1804
01:44:16,423 --> 01:44:17,883
<i>You would have been better off."</i>

1805
01:44:22,804 --> 01:44:25,307
...because the law is a blunt instrument.

1806
01:44:25,474 --> 01:44:28,143
It is not a rapier. It is a cudgel.

1807
01:44:29,436 --> 01:44:31,188
Tomorrow, death penalty,

1808
01:44:31,855 --> 01:44:33,607
which reminds me of the comedian who said,

1809
01:44:33,607 --> 01:44:35,776
"I don't know why
they call it the death penalty.

1810
01:44:35,901 --> 01:44:38,070
That's no penalty.
You're out of the game!"

1811
01:44:47,246 --> 01:44:48,622
- Good news.
- Great news.

1812
01:44:48,956 --> 01:44:49,790
And more good news.

1813
01:44:49,957 --> 01:44:51,041
The decision came down?

1814
01:44:51,250 --> 01:44:52,042
They just announced it.

1815
01:44:52,292 --> 01:44:52,876
Five-zip.

1816
01:44:53,043 --> 01:44:54,127
We murdered them.

1817
01:44:55,003 --> 01:44:55,629
Grounds?

1818
01:44:56,046 --> 01:44:57,506
Well, they got the Brillhoffer notes.

1819
01:44:57,506 --> 01:44:59,424
And that silly, silly guilty
man's argument,

1820
01:44:59,424 --> 01:45:00,259
search and seizure.

1821
01:45:00,425 --> 01:45:01,343
- Federal or state?
- Both.

1822
01:45:01,510 --> 01:45:04,054
- That's important.
- Yeah, it's federal, they could appeal it

1823
01:45:04,054 --> 01:45:04,763
in the US Supreme Court.

1824
01:45:04,930 --> 01:45:07,140
But because it's Rhode Island,
they can't. We win.

1825
01:45:08,183 --> 01:45:10,894
Don't--don't get too excited
until we see Brillhoffer's notes.

1826
01:45:10,894 --> 01:45:12,354
We destroyed their medical case,

1827
01:45:12,604 --> 01:45:14,731
but their witnesses
still carry emotional weight

1828
01:45:14,731 --> 01:45:15,899
if there's a second trial.

1829
01:45:16,191 --> 01:45:17,276
Unless...

1830
01:45:17,985 --> 01:45:20,737
the Brillhoffer notes show
that they've changed their stories.

1831
01:45:21,780 --> 01:45:22,865
Good afternoon, sir.

1832
01:45:25,409 --> 01:45:26,493
Let me get that for you.

1833
01:45:27,244 --> 01:45:28,328
Thank you.

1834
01:45:41,925 --> 01:45:43,343
You have Brillhoffer's notes?

1835
01:45:43,719 --> 01:45:44,469
Yes.

1836
01:45:44,803 --> 01:45:45,387
Well?

1837
01:45:45,846 --> 01:45:47,014
They're not what we hoped.

1838
01:45:47,055 --> 01:45:48,140
I knew it.

1839
01:45:51,351 --> 01:45:52,436
They're much better.

1840
01:45:54,897 --> 01:45:58,233
No one mentioned seeing insulin
when they first talked to Brillhoffer.

1841
01:45:58,483 --> 01:46:00,986
Plus... Maria told them

1842
01:46:01,403 --> 01:46:03,405
that at Thanksgiving,
when she supposedly saw insulin

1843
01:46:03,405 --> 01:46:04,114
for the first time,

1844
01:46:04,281 --> 01:46:05,657
she couldn't even read any of the labels.

1845
01:46:05,657 --> 01:46:06,825
They were all scraped off.

1846
01:46:08,368 --> 01:46:09,286
What does this mean?

1847
01:46:09,453 --> 01:46:10,537
It means

1848
01:46:10,913 --> 01:46:12,164
that if there is a second trial,

1849
01:46:12,164 --> 01:46:13,540
we can be reasonably confident

1850
01:46:14,333 --> 01:46:16,293
both the medical case and their witnesses

1851
01:46:16,460 --> 01:46:17,794
are now highly suspect.

1852
01:46:17,961 --> 01:46:20,130
Oh, God.

1853
01:46:22,758 --> 01:46:23,842
So...

1854
01:46:40,484 --> 01:46:41,568
Darling...

1855
01:46:42,361 --> 01:46:43,904
This is Alan Dershowitz.

1856
01:46:44,279 --> 01:46:45,405
Yes, I know. Hello.

1857
01:46:46,240 --> 01:46:47,324
Alan tells me...

1858
01:46:47,824 --> 01:46:50,077
well, things look very hopeful.

1859
01:46:51,787 --> 01:46:53,372
I knew it would come out all right.

1860
01:46:53,705 --> 01:46:54,790
Thank you.

1861
01:46:58,669 --> 01:46:59,920
Yes, Alan, thank you.

1862
01:47:00,087 --> 01:47:01,505
I am eternally grateful.

1863
01:47:01,672 --> 01:47:03,841
Hey, this means
we'll be getting back your bail,

1864
01:47:04,007 --> 01:47:05,133
a million dollars.

1865
01:47:05,843 --> 01:47:07,678
Uh, I know I still owe you, Alan.

1866
01:47:09,638 --> 01:47:11,265
Please send me your bill.

1867
01:47:12,641 --> 01:47:14,601
And maybe when you're in New York,

1868
01:47:14,768 --> 01:47:15,853
uh, we can...

1869
01:47:17,020 --> 01:47:18,856
we can meet for lunch. I'd enjoy that.

1870
01:47:20,023 --> 01:47:21,108
One thing, Claus...

1871
01:47:21,817 --> 01:47:23,569
legally, this was an important victory.

1872
01:47:24,486 --> 01:47:26,154
Morally, you're on your own.

1873
01:47:39,209 --> 01:47:42,171
<i>Claus von Bulow was given a second trial</i>

1874
01:47:42,504 --> 01:47:44,506
<i>and acquitted on both counts.</i>

1875
01:47:46,842 --> 01:47:48,510
<i>This is all you can know...</i>

1876
01:47:50,262 --> 01:47:51,722
<i>all you can be told.</i>

1877
01:47:53,056 --> 01:47:54,600
<i>When you get where I am,</i>

1878
01:47:55,767 --> 01:47:56,852
<i>you will know the rest.</i>

1879
01:48:30,302 --> 01:48:31,762
Two packs of Vantage, please.

1880
01:48:40,395 --> 01:48:41,480
Anything else?

1881
01:48:42,981 --> 01:48:44,399
Yes, a vial of insulin.

1882
01:48:51,865 --> 01:48:52,950
Just kidding.
