1
00:03:43,166 --> 00:03:45,703
This was my body.

2
00:03:55,762 --> 00:03:59,346
On December 27, 1979,

3
00:03:59,682 --> 00:04:01,513
I lay in bed all day.

4
00:04:02,268 --> 00:04:05,431
Whether I was asleep or in a coma

5
00:04:06,022 --> 00:04:08,479
later became a subject of dispute.

6
00:04:11,945 --> 00:04:14,027
When my breathing became obstructed...

7
00:04:14,364 --> 00:04:15,364
Maria!

8
00:04:15,573 --> 00:04:18,360
My husband, Claus von Bülow,

9
00:04:19,035 --> 00:04:22,243
finally did as my maid
had been urging all day.

10
00:04:23,248 --> 00:04:24,843
He summoned a physician.

11
00:04:25,291 --> 00:04:26,291
Dr. Paultees.

12
00:04:26,668 --> 00:04:27,999
I stopped breathing.

13
00:04:29,087 --> 00:04:30,497
My heart stopped beating.

14
00:04:31,505 --> 00:04:34,338
By this time, I was
certainly in a deep coma

15
00:04:35,176 --> 00:04:37,918
from which I awoke several hours later.

16
00:04:38,888 --> 00:04:41,971
By the next morning, I was myself again.

17
00:04:42,141 --> 00:04:43,881
There's no reason for all this fuss.

18
00:04:45,186 --> 00:04:47,552
I've never felt better in my whole life.

19
00:04:47,814 --> 00:04:50,977
This first coma aroused suspicion and fear

20
00:04:51,150 --> 00:04:53,732
in the minds of my personal maid, Maria,

21
00:04:54,445 --> 00:04:55,730
my son, Alex,

22
00:04:56,072 --> 00:04:57,733
and my elder daughter, Ala.

23
00:04:58,574 --> 00:04:59,734
From this time on,

24
00:05:00,159 --> 00:05:02,445
though they never voiced
their suspicions to me,

25
00:05:03,121 --> 00:05:06,033
they kept a vigilant eye on Claus.

26
00:05:07,125 --> 00:05:10,117
A year later, just before Christmas,

27
00:05:10,628 --> 00:05:13,461
their darkest fears seemed justified.

28
00:05:13,715 --> 00:05:15,225
Has mummy had breakfast yet?

29
00:05:15,466 --> 00:05:16,816
No, we haven't seen her.

30
00:05:33,109 --> 00:05:35,316
My husband did not want
our daughter, Cosima,

31
00:05:35,486 --> 00:05:37,067
to see what he had found,

32
00:05:37,322 --> 00:05:39,859
so he motioned to his stepson Alex.

33
00:05:54,464 --> 00:05:55,579
Second coma.

34
00:05:55,757 --> 00:05:58,089
- Oh, no. - My pulse was 38,

35
00:05:58,468 --> 00:06:02,052
my temperature, 81.6 degrees.

36
00:06:04,849 --> 00:06:06,134
Did you call an ambulance?

37
00:06:09,062 --> 00:06:11,598
Nicholas, would you ask Robert
to open the main gates?

38
00:06:11,598 --> 00:06:12,815
We're expecting an ambulance.

39
00:06:12,815 --> 00:06:13,815
Mrs. von Bülow...

40
00:06:13,983 --> 00:06:15,939
Ma'am, send an ambulance immediately.

41
00:06:16,110 --> 00:06:17,710
= it's on Belleview Avenue.

42
00:06:17,972 --> 00:06:20,112
- Look, bring her something warm.
- Thank you.

43
00:06:20,114 --> 00:06:22,158
Uh, or... or blankets or
anything you can find.

44
00:06:22,158 --> 00:06:24,740
All this activity was pointless.

45
00:06:27,121 --> 00:06:28,281
We better do an eeg.

46
00:06:28,456 --> 00:06:30,196
I never woke from this coma,

47
00:06:31,125 --> 00:06:32,205
ahd I never will.

48
00:06:34,087 --> 00:06:36,954
I am what doctors call
persistent vegetative,

49
00:06:37,632 --> 00:06:38,632
a vegetable.

50
00:06:40,927 --> 00:06:42,463
According to medical experts,

51
00:06:42,637 --> 00:06:45,629
I could stay like this
for a very long time,

52
00:06:46,349 --> 00:06:49,591
brain-dead, body better than ever.

53
00:06:51,604 --> 00:06:53,686
Enter Robert Brillhoffer,

54
00:06:54,524 --> 00:06:56,640
former Manhattan district attorney.

55
00:06:57,443 --> 00:06:59,650
My two children from my first marriage,

56
00:06:59,821 --> 00:07:01,812
Alex and Ala von auersberg,

57
00:07:02,323 --> 00:07:05,565
hired Brillhoffer to investigate the case.

58
00:07:07,453 --> 00:07:10,866
He put a "do not resuscitate”
order on her hospital chart.

59
00:07:11,124 --> 00:07:13,706
They sent Alex and a private investigator

60
00:07:14,043 --> 00:07:16,705
back to my Newport cottage,
Clarendon Court,

61
00:07:17,463 --> 00:07:19,249
to search for drugs.

62
00:07:22,176 --> 00:07:23,666
They found plenty

63
00:07:24,178 --> 00:07:25,839
in Claus' closet.

64
00:07:26,597 --> 00:07:27,677
On top of that,

65
00:07:28,015 --> 00:07:29,346
the hospital lab reported

66
00:07:29,517 --> 00:07:31,508
that my blood insulin on admission

67
00:07:31,686 --> 00:07:33,768
was 14 times normal,

68
00:07:34,730 --> 00:07:38,097
a level almost surely caused by injection.

69
00:07:39,277 --> 00:07:42,690
Insulin injection could
readily cause coma...

70
00:07:44,031 --> 00:07:45,031
Or death.

71
00:07:47,452 --> 00:07:50,785
This encrusted needle tested
positive for insulin.

72
00:07:52,957 --> 00:07:54,788
Alex couldn't wait to get back...

73
00:07:54,788 --> 00:07:55,793
Let's get out of here.

74
00:07:55,793 --> 00:07:56,953
And show Brillhoffer.

75
00:07:58,296 --> 00:08:00,441
Now they felt they had the murder weapon.

76
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,081
All they lacked was the motive.

77
00:08:03,926 --> 00:08:04,756
At that moment,

78
00:08:04,927 --> 00:08:07,168
my husband was vacationing
with his mistress,

79
00:08:07,597 --> 00:08:12,387
the very beautiful soap opera
actress, Alexandra Isles.

80
00:08:12,685 --> 00:08:13,390
Oh, god.

81
00:08:13,561 --> 00:08:15,802
Mrs. Isles, a divorcée,

82
00:08:16,397 --> 00:08:18,058
was the daughter of an old friend,

83
00:08:18,232 --> 00:08:19,438
count Billy Botsky.

84
00:08:23,362 --> 00:08:26,320
Brillhoffer also discovered
that, at my death,

85
00:08:26,657 --> 00:08:30,491
Claus, whose own net worth
was only a million dollars,

86
00:08:30,828 --> 00:08:33,911
stood to inherit 14 million from me.

87
00:08:34,916 --> 00:08:36,998
Alexandra later testified

88
00:08:37,668 --> 00:08:41,377
that Claus showed her a
legal analysis of my will.

89
00:08:43,090 --> 00:08:47,880
On the evidence collected by Alex,
Ala, and their lawyer, Brillhoffer,

90
00:08:48,386 --> 00:08:50,502
my husband was accused of twice trying

91
00:08:50,681 --> 00:08:53,218
to murder me with injections of insulin.

92
00:08:54,101 --> 00:08:56,888
On March 16, 1982,

93
00:08:57,395 --> 00:08:59,761
he was found guilty on both counts.

94
00:08:59,941 --> 00:09:02,933
Charged the defendant committed
on December 27th, 1979...

95
00:09:03,110 --> 00:09:06,602
Even Alexandra isles
testified against him.

96
00:09:06,781 --> 00:09:07,640
How do you find?

97
00:09:07,782 --> 00:09:08,616
Guilty.

98
00:09:08,616 --> 00:09:09,968
As to count two,

99
00:09:09,992 --> 00:09:13,075
charge the defendant committed
on December 21, 1980,

100
00:09:13,454 --> 00:09:15,615
the crime of assault
with intent to murder,

101
00:09:15,873 --> 00:09:16,666
how do you find?

102
00:09:16,666 --> 00:09:17,476
Guilty.

103
00:09:17,542 --> 00:09:21,376
You are about to see how Claus
von Bülow sought to reverse...

104
00:09:22,004 --> 00:09:24,791
Or escape from that jury's verdict.

105
00:09:26,425 --> 00:09:27,585
You tell me.

106
00:09:34,350 --> 00:09:35,385
And two!

107
00:09:35,923 --> 00:09:37,311
Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!

108
00:09:37,311 --> 00:09:38,271
Taking you downtown!

109
00:09:38,271 --> 00:09:39,271
Air dersh!

110
00:09:41,065 --> 00:09:42,646
Take it in! Take it in! Foul!

111
00:09:43,150 --> 00:09:46,233
Okay. Here I go. Here I go!
Watch the hands!

112
00:09:46,404 --> 00:09:47,404
Watch the hands!

113
00:09:53,703 --> 00:09:54,703
Yeah, hello.

114
00:09:56,163 --> 00:09:57,163
What?

115
00:10:00,293 --> 00:10:01,908
Oh, shit. Ju... bottom line.

116
00:10:03,588 --> 00:10:04,588
Oh, shit!

117
00:10:26,027 --> 00:10:27,027
Hi.

118
00:10:33,784 --> 00:10:34,784
Let's try that again.

119
00:10:34,869 --> 00:10:36,279
Hi, dad. Remember Maggie?

120
00:10:38,247 --> 00:10:39,532
Hi, Maggie. Hello.

121
00:10:42,585 --> 00:10:45,327
They're going to fry.
The Johnson brothers.

122
00:10:46,005 --> 00:10:47,005
What?

123
00:10:48,507 --> 00:10:49,507
But...

124
00:10:51,010 --> 00:10:53,296
Two black kids broke their
father out of prison.

125
00:10:53,804 --> 00:10:55,135
The father shot two people,

126
00:10:55,156 --> 00:10:56,974
and the sons are convicted of murder.

127
00:10:56,974 --> 00:10:58,930
A lawyer prays for an innocent client.

128
00:10:59,226 --> 00:11:01,387
Finally, finally, I get two.

129
00:11:01,486 --> 00:11:02,855
Both of them are going to get zapped.

130
00:11:02,855 --> 00:11:03,855
No more appeals?

131
00:11:03,898 --> 00:11:05,968
Supreme court, but this was the best shot.

132
00:11:07,610 --> 00:11:08,610
Mmm!

133
00:11:09,236 --> 00:11:09,975
It's the press.

134
00:11:10,154 --> 00:11:12,184
You don't want to talk to the press?

135
00:11:13,949 --> 00:11:15,610
Dershowitz psychiatric institute.

136
00:11:17,912 --> 00:11:19,272
Yeah, hang on a second.

137
00:11:19,747 --> 00:11:20,747
Claus von Bülow.

138
00:11:22,416 --> 00:11:23,416
It's a reporter.

139
00:11:23,834 --> 00:11:25,414
With an English accent?

140
00:11:28,005 --> 00:11:30,963
If I can't save two innocent
kids, what's the point?

141
00:11:30,963 --> 00:11:34,173
- I might as well hang it up. - Yeah.
One second, one second, sorry.

142
00:11:34,178 --> 00:11:36,089
He really seems to think he's von Bülow.

143
00:11:36,389 --> 00:11:37,939
Hello. This is Alan Dershowitz.

144
00:11:37,973 --> 00:11:39,473
Who are you? What do you want?

145
00:11:43,813 --> 00:11:44,933
It's von Bülow.

146
00:11:45,690 --> 00:11:46,690
Back in business.

147
00:11:53,864 --> 00:11:54,966
Can I help you, sir?

148
00:11:54,990 --> 00:11:55,809
Claus von Bülow.

149
00:11:55,825 --> 00:11:57,745
Elevator's to the left, go right ahead.

150
00:12:05,209 --> 00:12:06,209
Holy shit.

151
00:12:14,552 --> 00:12:15,552
Hello?

152
00:12:22,268 --> 00:12:23,383
Hello?

153
00:12:24,478 --> 00:12:27,595
Professor Dershowitz, hello, hello.

154
00:12:28,441 --> 00:12:29,851
How good of you to come.

155
00:12:30,693 --> 00:12:31,693
Pleasure.

156
00:12:31,944 --> 00:12:32,944
Won't you sit down?

157
00:12:40,995 --> 00:12:41,995
Do you play?

158
00:12:42,163 --> 00:12:43,198
That? No.

159
00:12:44,915 --> 00:12:47,025
Most people think it's a game of luck.

160
00:12:47,668 --> 00:12:50,080
Actually, it's largely a matter of nerve.

161
00:12:54,425 --> 00:12:57,337
Um... nothing, thank you, Charles.

162
00:12:58,471 --> 00:13:01,634
Why don't we go to Delmonico's
and have a proper lunch?

163
00:13:02,475 --> 00:13:03,475
Whatever.

164
00:13:07,922 --> 00:13:10,308
I should tell you that I
have the greatest respect

165
00:13:10,316 --> 00:13:13,023
for the intelligence and
integrity of the Jewish people.

166
00:13:17,114 --> 00:13:18,114
When I married Sunny,

167
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,572
she was the most beautiful
divorcée in the world

168
00:13:20,910 --> 00:13:22,275
and one of the wealthiest.

169
00:13:22,912 --> 00:13:25,949
Even so, we never got this table.

170
00:13:26,373 --> 00:13:27,373
Professor Dershowitz.

171
00:13:31,170 --> 00:13:32,170
Dr. von Bülow.

172
00:13:33,464 --> 00:13:35,911
Two injections of insulin,
already I'm a doctor.

173
00:13:36,592 --> 00:13:39,629
No, in America, it's
fame rather than class.

174
00:13:40,095 --> 00:13:43,383
Now, after all this unpleasantness,

175
00:13:43,557 --> 00:13:46,299
I always get the best table and...

176
00:13:47,186 --> 00:13:48,832
Speaking of the unpleasantness...

177
00:13:48,896 --> 00:13:51,228
Oh, yes, I suppose we
better discuss your fee.

178
00:13:53,275 --> 00:13:54,275
Okay.

179
00:13:55,319 --> 00:13:56,749
It's 300 dollars an hour.

180
00:13:57,154 --> 00:13:58,154
Good Lord!

181
00:13:59,657 --> 00:14:01,808
You know, I used to be a lawyer in London.

182
00:14:02,076 --> 00:14:03,407
That sounds a bit steep.

183
00:14:03,661 --> 00:14:05,291
It's average for a case like this.

184
00:14:05,329 --> 00:14:07,374
Besides, I do a lot of pro bono work.

185
00:14:07,748 --> 00:14:08,998
You would pay for that.

186
00:14:09,165 --> 00:14:11,210
Plus, I have to pay
students, associates...

187
00:14:11,210 --> 00:14:14,327
Are you saying if I agree to pay 300,

188
00:14:15,256 --> 00:14:16,666
you will handle my appeal?

189
00:14:16,841 --> 00:14:17,841
No, not so far.

190
00:14:18,008 --> 00:14:19,948
It doesn't look like my kind of case.

191
00:14:21,637 --> 00:14:22,797
I'm not a hired gun.

192
00:14:23,426 --> 00:14:26,267
I got to feel there's some moral
or constitutional issue at stake.

193
00:14:26,267 --> 00:14:28,303
But I'm absolutely innocent,

194
00:14:28,978 --> 00:14:31,811
and my civil liberties have
been egregiously violated.

195
00:14:32,898 --> 00:14:35,235
I've got two black kids
facing the electric chair

196
00:14:35,276 --> 00:14:36,891
for a crime they did not commit.

197
00:14:38,153 --> 00:14:39,313
They are innocent.

198
00:14:41,657 --> 00:14:43,989
Well, before you assume I'm guilty,

199
00:14:44,785 --> 00:14:46,120
won't you hear my story?

200
00:14:46,203 --> 00:14:48,285
Nope. Never let defendants explain.

201
00:14:48,455 --> 00:14:50,525
Puts most of them in an awkward position.

202
00:14:51,375 --> 00:14:52,375
How do you mean?

203
00:14:53,043 --> 00:14:54,043
Lying.

204
00:14:55,963 --> 00:14:58,454
But I give you my word as a gentleman.

205
00:14:59,466 --> 00:15:00,797
Oh... well...

206
00:15:06,307 --> 00:15:09,595
Well, won't you at least
read the record and

207
00:15:10,060 --> 00:15:13,848
see if you can find something... well...

208
00:15:14,273 --> 00:15:15,308
Constitutional?

209
00:15:18,527 --> 00:15:20,438
You do have one thing in your favor.

210
00:15:23,032 --> 00:15:24,112
Everybody hates you.

211
00:15:30,664 --> 00:15:31,744
Well, that's a start.

212
00:15:33,125 --> 00:15:34,125
Come on, Maxwell!

213
00:15:34,209 --> 00:15:35,209
Get up! Come on, Max!

214
00:15:36,128 --> 00:15:37,528
He was hit! He... = oh! Hit!

215
00:15:37,546 --> 00:15:38,546
Yes!

216
00:15:41,884 --> 00:15:42,884
So what do you think?

217
00:15:43,218 --> 00:15:44,549
Oh, he did it. He did it.

218
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,381
Of course he did it. Can we win?

219
00:15:47,139 --> 00:15:48,349
Hundred to one against.

220
00:15:48,390 --> 00:15:50,722
The maid. The maid shmeared
him on both comas.

221
00:15:50,893 --> 00:15:53,179
Look at it. At this. It says here...

222
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,498
After you realized that Mrs. von Bülow

223
00:15:55,522 --> 00:15:57,888
had not gotten up, what did you do?

224
00:15:58,067 --> 00:15:59,398
I came downstairs,

225
00:16:00,402 --> 00:16:02,814
and Mr. von Bülow said that madame

226
00:16:02,988 --> 00:16:04,478
had a very sore throat,

227
00:16:04,990 --> 00:16:06,651
and I didn't have to do any work,

228
00:16:07,493 --> 00:16:09,404
and she was in bed all day.

229
00:16:21,382 --> 00:16:22,662
What are you doing?

230
00:16:32,685 --> 00:16:34,300
She's ice cold.

231
00:16:35,354 --> 00:16:37,595
Madame! Mrs. von Bülow!

232
00:16:37,773 --> 00:16:38,773
Leave her alone.

233
00:16:39,483 --> 00:16:40,483
She's sleeping.

234
00:16:41,448 --> 00:16:42,820
She was drinking last night.

235
00:16:42,820 --> 00:16:44,030
We didn't get any rest.

236
00:16:44,071 --> 00:16:45,607
She's not sleeping.

237
00:16:47,241 --> 00:16:48,902
She's unconscious.

238
00:16:49,994 --> 00:16:52,155
You must call a doctor. = Maria.

239
00:16:54,957 --> 00:16:55,957
Go on!

240
00:17:06,010 --> 00:17:08,342
A half hour later, she had not moved.

241
00:17:08,929 --> 00:17:11,215
I went back and forth all morning.

242
00:17:11,974 --> 00:17:13,660
Strain over the last several days.

243
00:17:13,684 --> 00:17:15,220
Finally, mid-afternoon,

244
00:17:15,394 --> 00:17:18,136
Mr. von Bülow spoke to Dr. Paultees,

245
00:17:18,897 --> 00:17:20,558
but he lied to doctor.

246
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,440
Yes, she's sleeping now,

247
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,737
but she was up earlier this
morning to the bathroom

248
00:17:24,737 --> 00:17:25,737
and had a soft drink.

249
00:17:25,904 --> 00:17:28,060
So I don't think there's
any cause for alarm.

250
00:17:28,156 --> 00:17:29,771
But she never moved,

251
00:17:30,242 --> 00:17:31,322
never got up.

252
00:17:32,202 --> 00:17:35,160
She was lying in the
same position all day.

253
00:17:36,540 --> 00:17:38,076
Later, her heart stops,

254
00:17:38,250 --> 00:17:40,491
and Dr. Paultees, he comes and saves her.

255
00:17:42,046 --> 00:17:43,547
After they go to the hospital,

256
00:17:43,547 --> 00:17:44,878
I'm changing the sheets.

257
00:17:45,174 --> 00:17:46,835
I find a puddle of urine.

258
00:17:48,010 --> 00:17:49,671
If madame went to the bathroom,

259
00:17:49,845 --> 00:17:51,710
she would not have peed in her bed.

260
00:17:52,473 --> 00:17:53,302
Right.

261
00:17:53,390 --> 00:17:55,296
Why would Claus lie about that?

262
00:17:55,601 --> 00:17:58,468
Well, it's suspicious,
but hardly criminal.

263
00:17:58,854 --> 00:18:00,184
How about the second coma?

264
00:18:00,230 --> 00:18:02,391
Well, Maria wasn't in
Newport for that one.

265
00:18:02,983 --> 00:18:04,819
But shortly before the second coma...

266
00:18:04,860 --> 00:18:06,171
I'm cleaning up their room

267
00:18:06,195 --> 00:18:08,686
when I find Mr.
von Bülow's white canvas bag

268
00:18:08,864 --> 00:18:09,944
packed for Newport.

269
00:18:10,866 --> 00:18:13,699
Inside, there's a little black bag:

270
00:18:14,369 --> 00:18:17,611
A bottle of insulin, a
syringe, and needles.

271
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,040
Alexander!

272
00:18:19,166 --> 00:18:20,201
Alexander, come here!

273
00:18:24,505 --> 00:18:25,505
Insulin.

274
00:18:26,673 --> 00:18:28,664
For what, insulin?

275
00:18:29,051 --> 00:18:30,791
My lady is not diabetic.

276
00:18:36,391 --> 00:18:37,391
Three weeks later,

277
00:18:37,851 --> 00:18:40,467
Sunny's lying unconscious
in a freezing bathroom

278
00:18:40,646 --> 00:18:42,853
with her nightgown hiked over her waist.

279
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,705
If I was on that jury,

280
00:18:44,900 --> 00:18:46,510
I would have voted to convict.

281
00:18:46,693 --> 00:18:48,233
Then you're taking the case?

282
00:18:49,196 --> 00:18:50,856
It reminds me of my Hitler dream.

283
00:18:52,539 --> 00:18:53,700
You know, Hitler calls up.

284
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:55,190
He's alive, needs a lawyer.

285
00:18:56,370 --> 00:18:58,611
I say, "sure, come on over."

286
00:18:59,957 --> 00:19:01,247
Then I have to decide.

287
00:19:01,458 --> 00:19:03,323
Do I take the case or do I kill him?

288
00:19:03,502 --> 00:19:04,958
You? No question.

289
00:19:05,629 --> 00:19:07,034
I would take the case.

290
00:19:07,422 --> 00:19:08,422
Then kill him.

291
00:19:10,008 --> 00:19:12,340
I'm a maniac.
I need someone with your judgment,

292
00:19:12,511 --> 00:19:16,003
someone to watch what I'm doing,
occasionally remind me about the law.

293
00:19:16,515 --> 00:19:18,146
When can I see the transcripts?

294
00:19:18,350 --> 00:19:20,421
You're a former prosecutor, conservative.

295
00:19:20,435 --> 00:19:21,971
We agree on nothing.

296
00:19:21,971 --> 00:19:23,897
But you're smarter than
the Rhode Island DA.

297
00:19:23,897 --> 00:19:26,223
If I can beat your arguments,
I can destroy his.

298
00:19:26,567 --> 00:19:29,400
Look, Rhode Island is the most
corrupt state in the country.

299
00:19:29,570 --> 00:19:30,737
Everything is political.

300
00:19:30,737 --> 00:19:32,443
I don't think that way. You do.

301
00:19:32,531 --> 00:19:35,993
I have to see the big picture.
I can't afford to immerse myself in facts,

302
00:19:35,993 --> 00:19:37,654
but we must know the facts.

303
00:19:38,036 --> 00:19:39,326
Out of all my ex-students,

304
00:19:39,371 --> 00:19:42,152
no one can assimilate information
as quickly as you two.

305
00:19:42,332 --> 00:19:44,118
Well, I agree with that assessment.

306
00:19:49,420 --> 00:19:50,591
You're out of your mind.

307
00:19:50,591 --> 00:19:52,377
I only have 45 days to file.

308
00:19:52,676 --> 00:19:54,176
I can't do it without you.

309
00:19:55,898 --> 00:19:57,723
Look, Sarah, I know you
don't want to come back...

310
00:19:57,723 --> 00:19:59,213
Is this strictly professional?

311
00:20:03,854 --> 00:20:04,854
Better be.

312
00:20:06,356 --> 00:20:07,191
That's wonderful.

313
00:20:07,191 --> 00:20:09,803
Now, I want the best people
in the world on our side,

314
00:20:09,818 --> 00:20:11,433
the most prestigious experts,

315
00:20:11,737 --> 00:20:14,069
Nobel prize-winning scientists.

316
00:20:14,216 --> 00:20:16,126
Some of your colleagues
at Harvard, perhaps.

317
00:20:16,126 --> 00:20:17,618
Hey, hey, wa... wait a minute, Claus.

318
00:20:17,618 --> 00:20:19,648
Look, we got a little problem there, okay?

319
00:20:19,703 --> 00:20:21,944
People like that, we can't control.

320
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,874
They'll find one incriminating fact,

321
00:20:23,874 --> 00:20:25,042
they'll tell the whole world.

322
00:20:25,042 --> 00:20:26,122
I'm not afraid, Alan.

323
00:20:26,543 --> 00:20:28,204
Let the chips fall where they may.

324
00:20:28,921 --> 00:20:31,081
That's what an innocent man would say.

325
00:20:32,174 --> 00:20:33,174
I know.

326
00:20:40,015 --> 00:20:41,765
That just came for you, dad.

327
00:20:43,352 --> 00:20:45,764
My daughter, Cosima. She never doubted me.

328
00:20:46,730 --> 00:20:48,273
She loves Alex and Ala dearly,

329
00:20:48,273 --> 00:20:50,900
and siding with me has
cost her their affections.

330
00:20:55,072 --> 00:20:57,028
I don't know what I would have done.

331
00:21:01,964 --> 00:21:04,414
Okay, look, I said I didn't
want to hear your story,

332
00:21:04,414 --> 00:21:05,666
but I do need some information.

333
00:21:05,666 --> 00:21:06,666
'Course.

334
00:21:08,085 --> 00:21:11,373
Okay, I gather they'll, the older
children, deny Sunny had a problem

335
00:21:11,373 --> 00:21:12,546
with pills and alcohol?

336
00:21:12,714 --> 00:21:14,295
Spectacular understatement.

337
00:21:14,453 --> 00:21:16,051
So there must be somebody
who saw it, right?

338
00:21:16,051 --> 00:21:18,095
Some witness, somebody, somewhere?
A friend?

339
00:21:18,095 --> 00:21:19,554
- You want affidavits? - Yes, I do.

340
00:21:19,554 --> 00:21:20,554
I'll get them.

341
00:21:20,597 --> 00:21:21,515
You'll get them?

342
00:21:21,515 --> 00:21:24,935
You should also know, the drugs
prescribed for me were taken by Sunny.

343
00:21:24,935 --> 00:21:26,435
That's a lot of drugs, Claus.

344
00:21:26,436 --> 00:21:30,429
But the prosecution's allegation that
I knew about syringes, injections,

345
00:21:30,941 --> 00:21:32,101
totally accurate.

346
00:21:33,193 --> 00:21:36,526
Sunny and I used to give ourselves
b-12 injections in the late sixties.

347
00:21:36,526 --> 00:21:37,739
It was quite the fad in London.

348
00:21:37,739 --> 00:21:39,359
Can I explain something to you?

349
00:21:39,491 --> 00:21:40,776
The less I know from you,

350
00:21:41,118 --> 00:21:42,278
the more options I have.

351
00:21:42,703 --> 00:21:44,121
When you tell me “the truth,”

352
00:21:44,121 --> 00:21:47,324
you limit me to a defense that lines
up with what you have to say.

353
00:21:47,624 --> 00:21:49,956
But isn't the truth the
simplest way, Alan?

354
00:21:51,044 --> 00:21:53,956
I mean, why did I stay
all day at Sunny's side

355
00:21:54,131 --> 00:21:55,667
without calling a doctor?

356
00:21:56,717 --> 00:21:59,550
Because Sunny detested doctors.

357
00:21:59,852 --> 00:22:01,680
If we called one without her approval,

358
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:02,715
she went berserk.

359
00:22:02,905 --> 00:22:04,015
Once she broke her hip

360
00:22:04,015 --> 00:22:06,018
and didn't go to hospital
for two full days.

361
00:22:06,018 --> 00:22:07,883
Claus, did you hear what I just said?

362
00:22:08,061 --> 00:22:10,347
Of course.
Did you hear the judge sentenced me?

363
00:22:10,522 --> 00:22:13,059
Sorry. 30 years is a
pretty stiff sentence.

364
00:22:13,542 --> 00:22:15,110
Twice trying to murder one's wife,

365
00:22:15,110 --> 00:22:16,911
anything less would be monstrous.

366
00:22:17,863 --> 00:22:19,353
But for a man like myself,

367
00:22:21,283 --> 00:22:22,283
who did nothing...

368
00:22:26,288 --> 00:22:27,528
What I wanted to ask,

369
00:22:28,206 --> 00:22:29,616
if we lose the appeal,

370
00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:32,411
will I have the chance later

371
00:22:32,586 --> 00:22:35,498
to set my affairs in order
before I'm incarcerated?

372
00:22:36,923 --> 00:22:39,164
In Europe, a gentleman
is given the opportunity

373
00:22:39,343 --> 00:22:40,549
to end things properly.

374
00:22:44,973 --> 00:22:45,973
Come on, Claus.

375
00:22:46,141 --> 00:22:49,508
We are each the keeper
of our own souls, Alan.

376
00:22:52,981 --> 00:22:54,141
Okay, two big problems.

377
00:22:55,150 --> 00:22:57,482
The case against him is very strong.

378
00:22:58,236 --> 00:22:59,636
But probably more important,

379
00:22:59,654 --> 00:23:01,940
the legal conviction isn't
the only conviction

380
00:23:01,948 --> 00:23:03,228
that we got to reverse.

381
00:23:03,742 --> 00:23:05,278
The more dangerous conviction

382
00:23:05,452 --> 00:23:08,615
is the absolute certainty
of the American people

383
00:23:08,789 --> 00:23:10,154
that Claus is guilty.

384
00:23:10,332 --> 00:23:13,415
Finding grounds for reversal
won't be enough here.

385
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,953
Judges on the Rhode Island supreme court
will have to go home to their spouses

386
00:23:18,131 --> 00:23:20,497
and explain why they reversed.

387
00:23:20,675 --> 00:23:23,917
To get them to do that, we
must completely obliterate

388
00:23:24,096 --> 00:23:26,963
every single aspect of the state's case.

389
00:23:27,474 --> 00:23:30,181
Destroy both the medical
case and their witnesses

390
00:23:30,352 --> 00:23:33,640
so the judges have no
possible way to affirm.

391
00:23:34,689 --> 00:23:37,522
Total victory, or we
are dead in the water.

392
00:23:37,692 --> 00:23:41,310
Now, I assume that you've
all had an opportunity

393
00:23:41,310 --> 00:23:42,614
to look at the transcripts,

394
00:23:42,614 --> 00:23:44,199
first impressions, yeah, Minnie?

395
00:23:44,241 --> 00:23:45,856
I think this whole thing stinks.

396
00:23:46,701 --> 00:23:49,033
I think Claus von Bülow stinks.

397
00:23:49,663 --> 00:23:52,826
He's obviously guilty of
something pretty despicable.

398
00:23:53,041 --> 00:23:54,326
And if we free him,

399
00:23:54,793 --> 00:23:56,624
we become partners in his crime,

400
00:23:56,795 --> 00:23:58,660
accessories after the fact.

401
00:23:59,256 --> 00:24:00,587
I'm really shocked,

402
00:24:00,766 --> 00:24:02,843
with your record defending
the poor and oppressed,

403
00:24:02,843 --> 00:24:04,299
that you've taken this case.

404
00:24:07,681 --> 00:24:09,652
I won't have anything to do with it,

405
00:24:10,934 --> 00:24:13,050
and I hope my fellow
students won't either.

406
00:24:13,979 --> 00:24:14,979
Good-bye.

407
00:24:15,856 --> 00:24:18,689
May I exercise my first
amendment right to free speech?

408
00:24:22,351 --> 00:24:24,322
If lawyers only defended innocent clients,

409
00:24:24,322 --> 00:24:26,408
there would be 10 defense
lawyers in the entire country,

410
00:24:26,408 --> 00:24:28,558
and none of you would
be able to find a job.

411
00:24:28,660 --> 00:24:30,901
Why help guilty people get off?

412
00:24:32,664 --> 00:24:34,950
Oh, you're sure he's
guilty, 100 percent sure.

413
00:24:35,250 --> 00:24:37,662
He had a lawyer. He had a trial.

414
00:24:38,170 --> 00:24:39,501
He was convicted.

415
00:24:39,921 --> 00:24:41,761
Are you sure he had a fair trial?

416
00:24:42,090 --> 00:24:42,829
Come on!

417
00:24:43,008 --> 00:24:45,966
It's the basis of the whole legal system.

418
00:24:46,344 --> 00:24:49,177
Everyone gets a defense.

419
00:24:49,931 --> 00:24:51,421
So the system is there

420
00:24:51,725 --> 00:24:54,558
for the one innocent person
who is falsely accused.

421
00:24:56,313 --> 00:24:57,313
Okay, look.

422
00:24:58,482 --> 00:25:00,473
Say it's you, okay?

423
00:25:01,318 --> 00:25:02,433
You decide...

424
00:25:02,986 --> 00:25:04,522
You decide to get a divorce.

425
00:25:05,697 --> 00:25:07,557
You're going to divorce your husband.

426
00:25:07,574 --> 00:25:08,574
A week later,

427
00:25:09,242 --> 00:25:11,198
you're accused of molesting your son.

428
00:25:12,412 --> 00:25:14,173
Oh, no, now don't give me that look.

429
00:25:14,206 --> 00:25:16,141
Stuff like this happens all the time.

430
00:25:16,249 --> 00:25:17,580
Suddenly, you're alone.

431
00:25:18,502 --> 00:25:19,502
You're hated.

432
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,330
It's... it's a nightmare.

433
00:25:22,464 --> 00:25:25,422
Everyone assumes that you are guilty.

434
00:25:26,092 --> 00:25:29,584
Even the mailman is beginning to look
at you a little... a little funny.

435
00:25:30,096 --> 00:25:32,428
You only got one person
who believes in you.

436
00:25:32,766 --> 00:25:34,741
There's only one person you can trust,

437
00:25:36,436 --> 00:25:37,436
your lawyer.

438
00:25:37,812 --> 00:25:39,427
Yeah. Okay.

439
00:25:40,065 --> 00:25:42,101
So, someone's got to defend Claus.

440
00:25:42,651 --> 00:25:43,651
But why you?

441
00:25:43,777 --> 00:25:44,857
Why us?

442
00:25:46,238 --> 00:25:47,694
Look, you're my student.

443
00:25:47,864 --> 00:25:48,864
Y-you have a choice.

444
00:25:48,864 --> 00:25:50,867
You d... you don't have to do
anything you don't want to do.

445
00:25:50,867 --> 00:25:51,982
That is your choice.

446
00:25:52,827 --> 00:25:54,408
The reason I take cases,

447
00:25:54,579 --> 00:25:56,740
and here, I'm unlike most other lawyers

448
00:25:56,915 --> 00:25:59,786
who are not professors and
therefore have to make a living,

449
00:25:59,834 --> 00:26:02,792
I take cases 'cause I get pissed off,

450
00:26:04,130 --> 00:26:06,246
and I am pissed off here.

451
00:26:06,967 --> 00:26:09,879
The family hired a private prosecutor.

452
00:26:12,430 --> 00:26:15,046
They conducted a private search.

453
00:26:15,725 --> 00:26:17,590
Now, we let them get away with that,

454
00:26:18,186 --> 00:26:20,177
rich people won't go to the cops anymore.

455
00:26:20,355 --> 00:26:21,856
You know what they're gonna do?

456
00:26:21,856 --> 00:26:25,314
They're going to get their own
lawyers to collect evidence.

457
00:26:25,735 --> 00:26:28,943
And then they are going
to choose which evidence

458
00:26:29,114 --> 00:26:31,446
they feel like passing on to the DA,

459
00:26:31,783 --> 00:26:35,025
and the next victim isn't going
to be rich like von Bülow.

460
00:26:35,370 --> 00:26:37,531
But it's gonna be some
poor schnook in Detroit

461
00:26:37,789 --> 00:26:41,828
who can't afford or can't
find a decent lawyer.

462
00:26:48,216 --> 00:26:50,582
I think it's a little more complicated

463
00:26:51,177 --> 00:26:53,259
than your simple moral superiority.

464
00:26:55,098 --> 00:26:56,098
No?

465
00:26:56,850 --> 00:26:58,761
I agree von Bülow is guilty,

466
00:26:58,935 --> 00:27:01,246
but that's the fun, I mean,
that's the challenge.

467
00:27:01,271 --> 00:27:02,761
See, now there is a lawyer.

468
00:27:05,317 --> 00:27:06,317
What?

469
00:27:08,028 --> 00:27:09,413
Yeah, okay. Put him on.

470
00:27:10,363 --> 00:27:12,604
Alan, a rather unsavory character

471
00:27:12,782 --> 00:27:15,114
called David Marriott contacted me

472
00:27:15,619 --> 00:27:20,079
claiming to have information about a
drug delivery at Clarendon Court.

473
00:27:20,415 --> 00:27:21,905
Okay. Now, where does he live?

474
00:27:21,988 --> 00:27:23,084
Somewhere in Wakefield.

475
00:27:23,084 --> 00:27:24,904
Okay, we... no, we'll get on it.

476
00:27:25,754 --> 00:27:29,747
Tom, I want you to get
a private investigator

477
00:27:29,924 --> 00:27:33,291
to dig into a David Marriott
who lives in Wakefield.

478
00:27:34,804 --> 00:27:36,715
Okay. How are we going to win this case?

479
00:27:37,015 --> 00:27:38,721
The judge made lots of mistakes.

480
00:27:38,892 --> 00:27:40,553
Judges always make mistakes.

481
00:27:40,553 --> 00:27:41,728
How are we going to win?

482
00:27:41,728 --> 00:27:43,271
All right, one issue leaps up,

483
00:27:43,271 --> 00:27:44,636
this lawyer, Brillhoffer,

484
00:27:44,814 --> 00:27:47,055
interviewed Alex, Maria, everybody.

485
00:27:47,055 --> 00:27:48,777
He was the first person
fo hear their stories.

486
00:27:48,777 --> 00:27:50,612
He took notes and he used
those notes at trial

487
00:27:50,612 --> 00:27:52,022
against a defense witness.

488
00:27:52,197 --> 00:27:54,062
But the defense never saw the notes.

489
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,201
The judge wouldn't let us have them.

490
00:27:56,201 --> 00:27:58,662
This alone seems like sufficient grounds.
It's perfect Brady.

491
00:27:58,662 --> 00:27:59,367
Okay, fine.

492
00:27:59,579 --> 00:28:01,069
Why don't you draft a letter

493
00:28:01,247 --> 00:28:03,500
writing to Brillhoffer
asking him very nicely

494
00:28:03,500 --> 00:28:04,740
to send us his notes?

495
00:28:05,001 --> 00:28:06,992
Yeah, right. He'll fax them right over.

496
00:28:07,504 --> 00:28:08,504
Yeah, right.

497
00:28:09,339 --> 00:28:11,591
We could win on this issue
alone and he knows it.

498
00:28:11,591 --> 00:28:13,081
You know it, I know it.

499
00:28:13,343 --> 00:28:15,428
We'll just make sure he knows it.

500
00:28:15,428 --> 00:28:17,714
Now... Nancy and Dobbs...

501
00:28:17,889 --> 00:28:18,598
Yes?

502
00:28:18,598 --> 00:28:20,854
They're going to attack
the medical testimony.

503
00:28:20,975 --> 00:28:21,680
Mm-hmm.

504
00:28:21,893 --> 00:28:24,680
Our Rhode Island counsel, Peter Macintosh,

505
00:28:25,105 --> 00:28:27,517
he will analyze the state supreme court.

506
00:28:27,697 --> 00:28:30,360
I think the rest of us should
begin dissecting the transcripts,

507
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:32,646
errors, inconsistencies, anything unusual.

508
00:28:32,821 --> 00:28:34,114
Okay, great. Now, remember,

509
00:28:34,114 --> 00:28:35,729
most cases are won in the field,

510
00:28:35,907 --> 00:28:36,987
not in court.

511
00:28:39,536 --> 00:28:40,536
Minnie?

512
00:28:42,747 --> 00:28:44,547
You want to work with Sarah on this?

513
00:28:45,473 --> 00:28:46,668
You may learn something.

514
00:28:46,668 --> 00:28:48,748
- Come on, Minnie. - Come on, Minnie.

515
00:28:49,170 --> 00:28:50,570
- Minnie! - Come on.

516
00:28:50,630 --> 00:28:51,630
Please?

517
00:28:52,173 --> 00:28:53,173
Come on.

518
00:28:54,619 --> 00:28:56,445
"Course I don't trust David Marriott.

519
00:28:56,469 --> 00:28:57,849
I don't know David Marriott.

520
00:28:57,849 --> 00:28:59,305
But if he knew Alex von Auersberg...

521
00:28:59,305 --> 00:29:01,099
You're crazy, I don't know
who you think you are.

522
00:29:01,099 --> 00:29:02,134
You Perry Mason?

523
00:29:02,934 --> 00:29:05,255
Let our private investigator
interview this jerk.

524
00:29:05,353 --> 00:29:06,646
It's stupid, it's arrogant,

525
00:29:06,646 --> 00:29:07,814
and it's unprofessional.

526
00:29:07,814 --> 00:29:10,055
- It's fun. - Fun? This guy is a sleaze.

527
00:29:10,692 --> 00:29:12,569
You don't know what he's going to try.

528
00:29:12,569 --> 00:29:14,275
What, is he going to shoot me?

529
00:29:15,029 --> 00:29:16,939
Come on, I'm from Brooklyn.

530
00:29:22,746 --> 00:29:25,666
Okay, look, I'll stand by the
window every 10 minutes, okay?

531
00:29:26,082 --> 00:29:27,842
That way you can know I'm safe.

532
00:29:29,419 --> 00:29:30,750
I had this friend...

533
00:29:31,087 --> 00:29:32,202
Gilbert Jackson...

534
00:29:33,006 --> 00:29:34,166
Interior decorator.

535
00:29:35,175 --> 00:29:37,507
Flaming queen, but a very excellent guy.

536
00:29:40,305 --> 00:29:42,421
He introduced me to Alex von Auersberg.

537
00:29:44,058 --> 00:29:45,093
You sure it was Alex?

538
00:29:45,852 --> 00:29:48,594
We had dinner a few times, drinks.

539
00:29:49,105 --> 00:29:51,266
All I knew, Alex was some rich kid.

540
00:29:52,609 --> 00:29:53,609
So sometimes,

541
00:29:54,319 --> 00:29:56,685
this is like, uh, summer of '77,

542
00:29:57,447 --> 00:29:59,438
I'd motor to Newport for some r and r.

543
00:30:00,116 --> 00:30:02,517
Gilbert asked me to bring Alex a package.

544
00:30:03,620 --> 00:30:05,235
I figured interior decoration.

545
00:30:06,039 --> 00:30:07,119
Maybe drapes.

546
00:30:07,791 --> 00:30:08,871
Like six times.

547
00:30:09,167 --> 00:30:10,373
So I'd call Alex.

548
00:30:10,627 --> 00:30:12,297
How'd you get his phone number?

549
00:30:12,587 --> 00:30:13,587
From Gilbert.

550
00:30:13,838 --> 00:30:14,838
You still have it?

551
00:30:15,381 --> 00:30:16,381
Maybe.

552
00:30:17,383 --> 00:30:18,383
I'm that kind of guy.

553
00:30:45,161 --> 00:30:46,161
Here.

554
00:30:52,585 --> 00:30:53,950
One night I got curious.

555
00:30:55,255 --> 00:30:56,415
Opened the package.

556
00:30:57,590 --> 00:30:59,171
Fucking pharmacy, man.

557
00:30:59,926 --> 00:31:02,759
Needles, syringes, white powder.

558
00:31:03,096 --> 00:31:04,757
Nice selection of pills.

559
00:31:04,931 --> 00:31:05,931
Demerol.

560
00:31:06,349 --> 00:31:07,429
Like a drugstore.

561
00:31:09,561 --> 00:31:12,143
You delivered drugs six
times and didn't know it?

562
00:31:15,441 --> 00:31:16,441
Stupid, huh?

563
00:31:17,777 --> 00:31:19,108
Then Gilbert asked me again.

564
00:31:20,141 --> 00:31:21,823
I couldn't say no, but this time

565
00:31:21,823 --> 00:31:23,928
I made Alex open the
package in front of me.

566
00:31:24,534 --> 00:31:25,865
Voila.

567
00:31:28,246 --> 00:31:30,703
I go, "awful lot of
pharmaceuticals for one person.”

568
00:31:31,541 --> 00:31:34,123
He goes, "oh, I give some to my mom

569
00:31:34,294 --> 00:31:35,534
to keep her off my back.”

570
00:31:37,380 --> 00:31:40,213
Few weeks later, Gilbert gets
mistaken for a softball.

571
00:31:41,134 --> 00:31:42,715
Two guys bash his head in.

572
00:31:43,303 --> 00:31:45,715
Alex calls me, totally urinary.

573
00:31:46,112 --> 00:31:47,682
Will the cops find his phone number

574
00:31:47,682 --> 00:31:49,718
and fuck up his trust fund or something?

575
00:31:51,227 --> 00:31:52,558
Well, that's the fat.

576
00:31:54,063 --> 00:31:55,063
That's the skinny.

577
00:31:56,441 --> 00:31:57,441
You like it?

578
00:31:59,152 --> 00:32:01,734
You traffic with drug
dealers and drag queens.

579
00:32:01,905 --> 00:32:03,215
You have a part-time job.

580
00:32:03,239 --> 00:32:04,945
You ride around in rented limos.

581
00:32:04,946 --> 00:32:06,326
All in all, I would have to say

582
00:32:06,326 --> 00:32:08,244
you're probably the least
impressive witness

583
00:32:08,244 --> 00:32:09,244
I've ever seen.

584
00:32:09,996 --> 00:32:10,996
Wait a minute.

585
00:32:15,209 --> 00:32:17,575
You think I'm scum, don't you?

586
00:32:18,671 --> 00:32:20,627
Blow it out your ass.

587
00:32:22,133 --> 00:32:24,019
You want a witness to back me up?

588
00:32:24,385 --> 00:32:25,385
I'll get one.

589
00:32:26,137 --> 00:32:27,137
And, hey,

590
00:32:27,555 --> 00:32:29,921
maybe I'll see you at the Celtics, huh?

591
00:32:41,861 --> 00:32:43,726
I am not going to let them execute you.

592
00:32:43,905 --> 00:32:45,235
You're not going to die.

593
00:32:45,740 --> 00:32:46,740
Look, Johnny, th...

594
00:32:47,500 --> 00:32:49,494
Johnny, this is going to
be a lot easier on me

595
00:32:49,494 --> 00:32:52,156
if you don't cry, okay? I... I kn...

596
00:32:52,330 --> 00:32:54,256
I know your brother's hysterical, I...

597
00:32:54,374 --> 00:32:56,911
Number o... they always set
a date for the execution,

598
00:32:56,911 --> 00:32:58,581
and they always postpone it...

599
00:32:59,379 --> 00:33:01,149
He's great when he's like this, huh?

600
00:33:01,881 --> 00:33:02,666
That's right.

601
00:33:02,666 --> 00:33:05,093
I just wish he had something
left for the people around him.

602
00:33:05,093 --> 00:33:06,052
What are you talking to me about money?

603
00:33:06,052 --> 00:33:07,557
Did I ever ask you about money?

604
00:33:07,762 --> 00:33:09,762
Anyway, it's nice to have you back here.

605
00:33:11,474 --> 00:33:13,264
Okay. Say hello to your brother.

606
00:33:13,893 --> 00:33:14,893
Right.

607
00:33:15,228 --> 00:33:16,228
Okay.

608
00:33:24,237 --> 00:33:25,943
Okay, who's got what?

609
00:33:28,700 --> 00:33:30,656
Uh, yeah. Maria's testimony.

610
00:33:30,952 --> 00:33:33,739
She says Sunny did take
valium prescribed for Claus.

611
00:33:34,122 --> 00:33:35,632
Okay, score one for von Bülow.

612
00:33:35,707 --> 00:33:38,039
And this Jamie Smather prescription?

613
00:33:38,209 --> 00:33:39,209
Who's Jamie Smather?

614
00:33:39,293 --> 00:33:42,460
Three-hundred-pound redheaded
hooker in pigtails and white boots.

615
00:33:42,505 --> 00:33:44,461
She supplied Claus with valium.

616
00:33:44,716 --> 00:33:47,502
He had a gorgeous mistress and
he went with an ugly whore?

617
00:33:47,677 --> 00:33:50,484
You know, there's some things
even mistresses won't do.

618
00:33:52,432 --> 00:33:53,432
Like what?

619
00:33:54,058 --> 00:33:55,093
I-I'm not telling.

620
00:33:56,853 --> 00:33:59,094
Anyway, Maria swears

621
00:33:59,272 --> 00:34:02,480
she first saw this Jamie Smather
prescription February 14th,

622
00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:04,982
and then again February 28th.

623
00:34:05,486 --> 00:34:06,230
So?

624
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,231
It wasn't prescribed till the 28th.

625
00:34:08,614 --> 00:34:10,730
You're not suggesting she's lying?

626
00:34:11,105 --> 00:34:13,453
Okay, how about Maria's insulin?
"For what, insulin"?

627
00:34:13,453 --> 00:34:15,173
- Anything more on that? - Not yet.

628
00:34:17,331 --> 00:34:18,982
Something about that bothers me.

629
00:34:21,169 --> 00:34:22,169
Okay, who's next?

630
00:34:23,087 --> 00:34:24,327
Brillhoffer wrote back.

631
00:34:25,757 --> 00:34:27,563
He's very attached to his notes.

632
00:34:30,678 --> 00:34:32,214
"I am satisfied

633
00:34:33,014 --> 00:34:35,175
that there is not a scrap
of paper in my files

634
00:34:35,349 --> 00:34:38,466
that might even arguably
be viewed as exculpatory.”

635
00:34:38,643 --> 00:34:39,758
English translation?

636
00:34:39,937 --> 00:34:42,248
He says he doesn't have
anything that'd help us.

637
00:34:44,817 --> 00:34:45,817
You with me?

638
00:34:46,277 --> 00:34:47,031
Pay dirt.

639
00:34:47,235 --> 00:34:48,144
What's pay dirt?

640
00:34:48,154 --> 00:34:49,154
He's a lawyer.

641
00:34:49,405 --> 00:34:52,185
If he really didn't have
anything, he'd give it to us...

642
00:34:52,258 --> 00:34:53,367
But there's something there

643
00:34:53,367 --> 00:34:55,597
and he's gonna fight like
hell to hold onto it.

644
00:34:55,870 --> 00:34:57,076
I will bet my fee

645
00:34:57,538 --> 00:34:59,324
that no one remembered seeing insulin

646
00:35:00,041 --> 00:35:01,901
until after the lab report came back.

647
00:35:02,150 --> 00:35:03,377
So... you're suggesting...

648
00:35:03,377 --> 00:35:04,377
Memory enhancement.

649
00:35:05,338 --> 00:35:06,630
It might be more than that.

650
00:35:06,630 --> 00:35:07,630
Possibly.

651
00:35:09,967 --> 00:35:10,967
A frame-up.

652
00:35:11,677 --> 00:35:12,837
You mean by the kids?

653
00:35:13,216 --> 00:35:15,765
Where are you getting all this,
from Brillhoffer's letter?

654
00:35:15,765 --> 00:35:16,765
Pure deduction.

655
00:35:17,058 --> 00:35:21,722
A good lawyer is part psychiatrist,
detective, logician.

656
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:23,379
A great lawyer...

657
00:35:23,439 --> 00:35:25,054
Never would have taken this case.

658
00:35:27,235 --> 00:35:28,611
If there's nothing more...

659
00:35:29,278 --> 00:35:30,609
Has anybody read this?

660
00:35:32,782 --> 00:35:34,848
It's an interview with Truman Capote.

661
00:35:35,159 --> 00:35:36,945
He says when she was 19,

662
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,576
Sunny von Bülow

663
00:35:38,746 --> 00:35:40,532
taught him how to inject drugs.

664
00:35:40,706 --> 00:35:41,706
Let me see that.

665
00:35:44,544 --> 00:35:47,536
Well, well, well, the famous professor.

666
00:35:47,713 --> 00:35:49,954
Alan, I'd like to introduce
my new girlfriend,

667
00:35:50,133 --> 00:35:53,296
- Andrea Reynolds.
- I'm not his girlfriend, I'm his savior.

668
00:35:53,511 --> 00:35:54,262
Perfectly true.

669
00:35:54,262 --> 00:35:56,674
Two days after the trial
ended, we fell in love.

670
00:35:56,889 --> 00:36:00,598
- It was really very, very dramatic.
- Yes, Andrea, Andrea, come on.

671
00:36:02,186 --> 00:36:05,394
Since then, I've devoted my
life to clearing his name.

672
00:36:05,857 --> 00:36:08,018
I made him hire you.

673
00:36:09,443 --> 00:36:11,183
"Get the Jew," I said.

674
00:36:12,572 --> 00:36:13,572
Darling...

675
00:36:14,615 --> 00:36:16,225
Can the Jew get down to business?

676
00:36:17,618 --> 00:36:18,903
We've got an affidavit.

677
00:36:20,037 --> 00:36:22,653
A Smythe, Mrs. Ruth Smythe,

678
00:36:23,332 --> 00:36:26,244
gave us an affidavit
corroborating Truman capote.

679
00:36:26,878 --> 00:36:28,209
I have affidavits, too.

680
00:36:30,715 --> 00:36:31,715
Newport people.

681
00:36:31,924 --> 00:36:34,006
They describe Sunny taking pills,

682
00:36:34,260 --> 00:36:35,966
getting drunk and falling down...

683
00:36:36,387 --> 00:36:37,843
Bumping into doorways,

684
00:36:38,014 --> 00:36:39,925
smearing lipstick all over her face.

685
00:36:39,967 --> 00:36:41,100
Not a very pretty picture.

686
00:36:41,100 --> 00:36:42,340
She did it, didn't she?

687
00:36:43,311 --> 00:36:45,097
Don't be a priss.

688
00:36:46,265 --> 00:36:47,356
Sunny was a lovely woman.

689
00:36:47,356 --> 00:36:48,356
Spoiled rotten.

690
00:36:49,317 --> 00:36:50,317
Yes, but lovely.

691
00:36:51,319 --> 00:36:52,319
Till she drank.

692
00:36:53,571 --> 00:36:56,563
Two drinks and she became... nasty,

693
00:36:56,741 --> 00:36:59,107
- irrational.
- All women are irrational, darling.

694
00:36:59,368 --> 00:37:00,608
Did we mention the priest?

695
00:37:00,870 --> 00:37:05,034
Oh. Marriott apparently
confided in a priest

696
00:37:05,541 --> 00:37:07,077
who's consented to talk to us.

697
00:37:10,046 --> 00:37:11,877
A father Capello from Providence.

698
00:37:14,217 --> 00:37:15,217
Priest?

699
00:37:16,427 --> 00:37:18,167
Well, a priest is the ideal witness.

700
00:37:18,167 --> 00:37:20,223
- It's like getting the word of god.
- I checked.

701
00:37:20,223 --> 00:37:21,884
God is unavailable.

702
00:37:23,059 --> 00:37:24,059
If

703
00:37:24,143 --> 00:37:25,724
If the priest comes through

704
00:37:25,895 --> 00:37:28,261
and we can get documentation
on Sunny's drug use,

705
00:37:28,731 --> 00:37:31,007
then self-injection may
be a plausible theory.

706
00:37:31,108 --> 00:37:32,758
There's no insulin in this case.

707
00:37:32,818 --> 00:37:34,354
Yeah, but people do use insulin,

708
00:37:34,692 --> 00:37:36,948
they use it for dieting, it's
not a prescription drug.

709
00:37:36,948 --> 00:37:38,449
Sunny was concerned about her weight.

710
00:37:38,449 --> 00:37:39,939
Maybe, but believe me, Alan...

711
00:37:40,785 --> 00:37:42,090
There's no insulin here.

712
00:37:46,332 --> 00:37:47,332
Really?

713
00:37:48,251 --> 00:37:49,711
How can you be so sure?

714
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:58,840
Do you realize...

715
00:37:59,971 --> 00:38:03,008
With this case, I'm looking for
evidence to exonerate you?

716
00:38:03,766 --> 00:38:06,223
But at the same time,
I'm also wondering...

717
00:38:07,770 --> 00:38:08,920
What really happened...

718
00:38:09,563 --> 00:38:10,563
Who you are.

719
00:38:11,107 --> 00:38:12,607
Who would you like me to be?

720
00:38:16,487 --> 00:38:17,877
Your mother's death...

721
00:38:18,322 --> 00:38:19,322
What happened?

722
00:38:20,491 --> 00:38:22,573
I believe she had a heart problem.

723
00:38:23,577 --> 00:38:24,351
Really?

724
00:38:24,458 --> 00:38:26,289
The rumor in England is you killed her.

725
00:38:26,289 --> 00:38:27,620
Hey, wait a minute, Alan.

726
00:38:27,835 --> 00:38:30,126
Statute of limitations ran
out on that years ago.

727
00:38:30,126 --> 00:38:32,162
There's rumors also that I killed my aunt.

728
00:38:35,256 --> 00:38:36,917
And that I'm a necrophiliac,

729
00:38:37,466 --> 00:38:39,172
who injected Sunny with insulin

730
00:38:39,343 --> 00:38:41,209
so that I could have my way with her.

731
00:38:42,847 --> 00:38:44,178
Please.

732
00:38:45,349 --> 00:38:47,965
Your mother's death wasn't
recorded for five full days.

733
00:38:48,602 --> 00:38:49,602
True.

734
00:38:51,939 --> 00:38:53,589
Where were you during that time?

735
00:38:53,733 --> 00:38:54,733
In the flat.

736
00:38:55,401 --> 00:38:56,401
Where the body was?

737
00:39:03,951 --> 00:39:05,657
My mother is my own business.

738
00:39:12,168 --> 00:39:14,079
Did Claus drive me crazy?

739
00:39:15,338 --> 00:39:16,669
Even I don't know.

740
00:39:17,965 --> 00:39:21,583
But it's true that I took
up to 24 laxatives daily,

741
00:39:22,219 --> 00:39:24,255
popped aspirin like m&ms,

742
00:39:24,847 --> 00:39:27,384
smoked three packs of cigarettes a day,

743
00:39:28,017 --> 00:39:30,178
had a problem with alcohol,

744
00:39:30,895 --> 00:39:33,307
took valium and seconal frequently,

745
00:39:33,481 --> 00:39:36,097
and consumed large quantities of sweets

746
00:39:36,442 --> 00:39:39,605
despite a medical condition, hypoglycemia,

747
00:39:39,945 --> 00:39:41,310
which made them hazardous.

748
00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:45,151
As for my state of mind...

749
00:39:51,248 --> 00:39:54,911
I had not had sex with
my husband for years.

750
00:39:56,962 --> 00:39:58,202
My schedule was...

751
00:39:59,006 --> 00:40:00,667
I woke at 9:30,

752
00:40:01,133 --> 00:40:03,465
did a little exercise and shopping,

753
00:40:04,095 --> 00:40:05,881
ahd returned to bed at three o'clock

754
00:40:06,055 --> 00:40:07,795
for the remainder of the afternoon.

755
00:40:09,058 --> 00:40:11,049
I liked to be in bed.

756
00:40:12,144 --> 00:40:14,385
I didn't much like anything else.

757
00:40:20,861 --> 00:40:21,976
Hold on here, will you?

758
00:40:40,965 --> 00:40:41,884
Come in.

759
00:40:41,924 --> 00:40:42,924
Alan.

760
00:40:43,300 --> 00:40:45,040
Welcome to my humble law firm.

761
00:40:46,595 --> 00:40:47,595
In the kitchen,

762
00:40:48,222 --> 00:40:50,053
our insulin-on-the-needle team.

763
00:40:50,766 --> 00:40:53,553
They're cooking up some surprise for us.

764
00:40:58,441 --> 00:41:00,432
This is our Brillhoffer notes team.

765
00:41:01,610 --> 00:41:02,770
Mr. von Bülow!

766
00:41:03,362 --> 00:41:05,122
Where do you keep the paper towels?

767
00:41:06,073 --> 00:41:07,153
Ask Sarah!

768
00:41:07,324 --> 00:41:08,624
Sarah used to live here.

769
00:41:10,453 --> 00:41:11,453
This...

770
00:41:12,371 --> 00:41:13,896
I guess he was up all night.

771
00:41:21,881 --> 00:41:23,166
This sort of commune,

772
00:41:23,466 --> 00:41:25,002
you do it on every case?

773
00:41:25,176 --> 00:41:26,176
Never before.

774
00:41:26,635 --> 00:41:28,842
Thirty-eight days to write 100 pages?

775
00:41:29,388 --> 00:41:30,548
Only way to get it done.

776
00:41:31,432 --> 00:41:32,922
Here's the black bag team.

777
00:41:33,225 --> 00:41:34,431
Illegal search teams.

778
00:41:44,737 --> 00:41:46,352
My son, Elon, lost his room.

779
00:41:46,352 --> 00:41:48,365
Well, actually, this is,
uh, this is another case

780
00:41:48,365 --> 00:41:49,725
that you're paying for.

781
00:41:51,076 --> 00:41:52,111
And this is my team.

782
00:41:53,287 --> 00:41:54,287
You wish.

783
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:56,805
I... I can't find the damn thing.

784
00:41:58,083 --> 00:41:59,198
Hi. I'm Sarah.

785
00:41:59,460 --> 00:42:01,291
And a very lovely Sarah you are.

786
00:42:02,755 --> 00:42:03,995
Does that really work?

787
00:42:04,423 --> 00:42:05,223
Flattery?

788
00:42:05,424 --> 00:42:06,424
Absolutely.

789
00:42:08,636 --> 00:42:09,671
Like Chinese food?

790
00:42:11,388 --> 00:42:13,504
What do you give a wife
who has everything?

791
00:42:15,935 --> 00:42:17,471
An injection of insulin.

792
00:42:21,023 --> 00:42:22,888
How... ah, my prawns.

793
00:42:23,484 --> 00:42:26,476
How can one define a fear of insulin?

794
00:42:27,947 --> 00:42:29,153
Claus-trophobia.

795
00:42:30,366 --> 00:42:31,902
Hm.

796
00:42:35,371 --> 00:42:37,307
Is there anything more you can tell us

797
00:42:37,331 --> 00:42:38,616
about Alexandra Isles?

798
00:42:39,602 --> 00:42:41,544
For instance, is it true
that she gave you a deadline

799
00:42:41,544 --> 00:42:43,284
of Christmas 1979 to be together?

800
00:42:44,046 --> 00:42:45,046
Uh, not really.

801
00:42:45,339 --> 00:42:47,625
No, she knew I was looking
for full-time work.

802
00:42:47,841 --> 00:42:50,173
I worked for JP Getty in London.

803
00:42:50,194 --> 00:42:52,179
Alexandra assumed that
when you did find a job,

804
00:42:52,179 --> 00:42:53,439
you'd marry her, correct?

805
00:42:54,473 --> 00:42:55,679
Oh, she assumed it.

806
00:42:58,003 --> 00:42:59,228
How about when she testified,

807
00:42:59,228 --> 00:43:01,438
did you get a sense that she
wanted to get back together?

808
00:43:01,438 --> 00:43:04,100
Very much so.
In fact, at the trial, she said...

809
00:43:04,275 --> 00:43:08,609
I loved him, but I was still
caught up in my own anger...

810
00:43:10,322 --> 00:43:12,278
And I'm sorry I acted that way then.

811
00:43:13,325 --> 00:43:15,156
I loved him, and I was angry.

812
00:43:16,704 --> 00:43:18,825
Let me ask you this.
Maybe you can't answer.

813
00:43:19,540 --> 00:43:20,655
Do you still love him?

814
00:43:22,918 --> 00:43:23,787
I don't know.

815
00:43:23,877 --> 00:43:25,492
That means yes, doesn't it?

816
00:43:25,921 --> 00:43:26,921
It would seem so.

817
00:43:27,339 --> 00:43:28,591
In fact, after the trial,

818
00:43:28,591 --> 00:43:30,752
she wrote me a letter
saying so explicitly.

819
00:43:31,635 --> 00:43:33,296
A very passionate letter.

820
00:43:33,512 --> 00:43:34,922
Passionate and...

821
00:43:35,472 --> 00:43:36,472
Jealous.

822
00:43:37,558 --> 00:43:40,174
But that was the relationship
from the outset.

823
00:43:40,477 --> 00:43:42,013
That was Alexandra.

824
00:43:42,187 --> 00:43:43,592
She was your love slave.

825
00:43:51,322 --> 00:43:52,322
Ah.

826
00:43:52,948 --> 00:43:56,315
Well, I think now I'll have
my own individual order

827
00:43:56,493 --> 00:43:57,778
of ginger prawns.

828
00:44:00,205 --> 00:44:02,491
- Waiter. - Three weeks
before her final coma,

829
00:44:03,167 --> 00:44:04,657
Sunny overdosed on aspirin.

830
00:44:05,302 --> 00:44:06,795
Can you tell us anything about that?

831
00:44:06,795 --> 00:44:09,256
No one maintained I had
anything to do with that, Alan.

832
00:44:09,256 --> 00:44:10,336
No, of course not.

833
00:44:10,966 --> 00:44:12,446
I'm asking you what happened.

834
00:44:12,635 --> 00:44:14,921
Well, Sunny had been unwell.

835
00:44:20,309 --> 00:44:21,309
Ohhh...

836
00:44:21,852 --> 00:44:22,852
Are you all right?

837
00:44:23,145 --> 00:44:24,976
Oh, just a bit dizzy.

838
00:44:27,775 --> 00:44:29,865
Well, if you're dizzy, don't go wandering.

839
00:44:46,043 --> 00:44:47,043
Sunny?

840
00:44:50,172 --> 00:44:51,172
Oh, my god.

841
00:44:51,548 --> 00:44:52,548
Come on, my darling.

842
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:54,551
Now, you're all right.

843
00:44:54,551 --> 00:44:56,136
Come on, put your arm around my shoulder.

844
00:44:56,136 --> 00:44:56,887
There we are.

845
00:44:56,887 --> 00:44:58,218
Now, you're all right.

846
00:44:58,472 --> 00:45:01,134
Get you... come on.
We'll get you back into bed.

847
00:45:03,102 --> 00:45:04,842
Something happened to my head.

848
00:45:05,020 --> 00:45:06,731
You're all right. = it's cut.

849
00:45:07,356 --> 00:45:09,096
Just a little cut. It's nothing.

850
00:45:09,274 --> 00:45:10,274
Come on.

851
00:45:10,442 --> 00:45:11,898
Let's get you lying down.

852
00:45:16,156 --> 00:45:17,441
There you are.

853
00:45:21,495 --> 00:45:22,495
There.

854
00:45:26,417 --> 00:45:27,657
Shall I call a doctor?

855
00:45:27,835 --> 00:45:29,826
No! No, I don't want...

856
00:45:30,003 --> 00:45:31,123
I don't want a doctor.

857
00:45:31,171 --> 00:45:32,786
Just... don't want a doctor.

858
00:45:33,924 --> 00:45:36,540
Just want to be left alone.

859
00:45:37,678 --> 00:45:40,740
Want to be left alone with all those beaut...
beautiful letters.

860
00:45:41,061 --> 00:45:42,391
What did you do with those letters?

861
00:45:42,391 --> 00:45:43,936
Why did you write those letters?

862
00:45:44,101 --> 00:45:45,101
And those...

863
00:45:45,769 --> 00:45:47,305
Later, Dr. Praug said

864
00:45:47,319 --> 00:45:49,022
we needn't have gone to the hospital,

865
00:45:49,022 --> 00:45:50,983
but I wasn't going to take any chances.

866
00:45:51,024 --> 00:45:52,850
Why did she take so much aspirin?

867
00:45:53,026 --> 00:45:55,017
Oh, Sunny always took aspirin.

868
00:45:55,487 --> 00:45:57,603
She'd been taking a lot for several days.

869
00:45:57,603 --> 00:45:58,967
That's hot what our doctor said.

870
00:45:58,991 --> 00:46:00,731
Dr. Lucas Lupardus,

871
00:46:01,034 --> 00:46:03,867
chief forensic toxicologist,
Suffolk county,

872
00:46:04,204 --> 00:46:07,141
says that people who take large
amounts of aspirin every day

873
00:46:07,166 --> 00:46:08,536
never reach that level.

874
00:46:08,709 --> 00:46:11,581
He also said the average blood
level in cases of death is...

875
00:46:11,628 --> 00:46:13,744
Sixty. Hers was 90.

876
00:46:14,256 --> 00:46:15,007
So...

877
00:46:15,007 --> 00:46:17,544
So it was obviously a suicide attempt.

878
00:46:18,886 --> 00:46:19,595
Why?

879
00:46:19,595 --> 00:46:21,005
Yeah, why?

880
00:46:21,180 --> 00:46:22,044
Why?

881
00:46:22,055 --> 00:46:25,468
Alan, do they all want to be prosecutors?

882
00:46:28,228 --> 00:46:29,228
We're waiting.

883
00:46:33,066 --> 00:46:34,931
Well, I presume she was unhappy.

884
00:46:42,034 --> 00:46:44,704
How about we all finish up
and go back to the house?

885
00:46:46,163 --> 00:46:49,030
We're not going to win this
on a technicality. Peter.

886
00:46:50,167 --> 00:46:52,270
I've read every case in
the last seven years

887
00:46:52,294 --> 00:46:54,554
where the Rhode Island
supreme court reversed.

888
00:46:54,554 --> 00:46:55,964
They don't like to make new law,

889
00:46:55,964 --> 00:46:58,205
they don't like to discuss
broad legal issues.

890
00:46:58,383 --> 00:46:59,589
When they do reverse,

891
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,170
the grounds are technical,

892
00:47:01,345 --> 00:47:03,381
but the reason seems to be

893
00:47:03,555 --> 00:47:06,217
they suspect a convicted
defendant may be innocent.

894
00:47:07,518 --> 00:47:09,179
Okay, so everybody get that?

895
00:47:10,103 --> 00:47:13,061
True or not, we've got
to convince the judges

896
00:47:14,107 --> 00:47:15,438
that you are innocent.

897
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,272
Claus, now I do want to hear
your side of the story.

898
00:47:19,446 --> 00:47:20,446
With pleasure.

899
00:47:21,240 --> 00:47:23,481
Innocence has always been my position.

900
00:47:28,872 --> 00:47:30,737
First coma. What preceded it?

901
00:47:33,210 --> 00:47:34,666
Well, Sunny loved Christmas.

902
00:47:35,462 --> 00:47:37,293
It was her favorite season, really.

903
00:47:38,465 --> 00:47:41,457
You see, what you must
understand about Sunny

904
00:47:41,635 --> 00:47:44,672
is that she loved giving
more than anything else.

905
00:47:44,888 --> 00:47:48,472
J peace on earth and mercy mild j

906
00:47:48,642 --> 00:47:50,724
j god and sinners reconciled... j

907
00:47:50,894 --> 00:47:54,136
each year, she always made a
big bowl of fresh eggnog.

908
00:47:54,815 --> 00:47:56,897
Now, that year, she drank a lot of it.

909
00:47:57,317 --> 00:47:58,317
How much?

910
00:47:58,569 --> 00:48:00,651
Oh, 10 or 12 glasses.

911
00:48:01,989 --> 00:48:03,695
With her hypoglycemia?

912
00:48:04,842 --> 00:48:06,577
She didn't always drink like that?

913
00:48:06,577 --> 00:48:07,577
Never.

914
00:48:07,911 --> 00:48:11,324
She never touched alcohol at
all except on social occasions

915
00:48:11,498 --> 00:48:12,988
to overcome her shyness...

916
00:48:13,458 --> 00:48:15,198
Or when she was upset.

917
00:48:16,420 --> 00:48:18,581
This was not a social occasion.

918
00:48:19,172 --> 00:48:20,172
No.

919
00:48:21,425 --> 00:48:24,041
We'd been discussing
divorce all afternoon.

920
00:48:41,278 --> 00:48:43,018
This whole subject of your...

921
00:48:44,406 --> 00:48:46,738
Work... coming between us,

922
00:48:48,410 --> 00:48:51,527
isn't it just a pretext when
the real subject is her?

923
00:48:52,331 --> 00:48:53,331
Certainly not.

924
00:48:56,168 --> 00:48:59,376
I'm thinking of redecorating
this whole fucking house.

925
00:49:01,757 --> 00:49:03,338
Then she knew about Alexandra.

926
00:49:05,177 --> 00:49:06,177
Yes.

927
00:49:06,470 --> 00:49:07,670
How did she find out?

928
00:49:08,597 --> 00:49:09,597
Uh...

929
00:49:10,098 --> 00:49:11,258
I, um...

930
00:49:12,017 --> 00:49:13,632
I told her the previous summer.

931
00:49:20,233 --> 00:49:22,189
Ala, can't we find one a bit slower?

932
00:49:28,367 --> 00:49:29,917
- Ah, that's much better. - Hm.

933
00:49:31,286 --> 00:49:32,286
- Cooler. - Hm.

934
00:49:35,540 --> 00:49:36,540
Thank you.

935
00:49:45,759 --> 00:49:47,630
Oh, I've been meaning to mention...

936
00:49:48,470 --> 00:49:50,506
Our understanding about my...

937
00:49:52,641 --> 00:49:54,381
Extracurricular activities.

938
00:49:54,977 --> 00:49:55,977
Mmm?

939
00:49:56,728 --> 00:49:58,639
I've been involved with someone who...

940
00:49:59,231 --> 00:50:02,143
Falls outside the parameters
of our agreement.

941
00:50:02,442 --> 00:50:03,602
- Really? - Someone...

942
00:50:03,944 --> 00:50:05,525
Peripherally in our circle.

943
00:50:07,906 --> 00:50:09,126
Billy Botsky's daughter,

944
00:50:09,157 --> 00:50:10,613
Alexandra isles.

945
00:50:13,245 --> 00:50:14,245
Well.

946
00:50:17,582 --> 00:50:18,917
That must be better for you

947
00:50:18,917 --> 00:50:20,857
than what you've had to put up with.

948
00:50:22,212 --> 00:50:23,952
You're referring to the call girls.

949
00:50:25,424 --> 00:50:26,424
Yes.

950
00:50:27,884 --> 00:50:31,172
I mean, that is where you've
gone previously, isn't it?

951
00:50:31,805 --> 00:50:32,805
Yes, it is.

952
00:50:35,809 --> 00:50:37,299
And isn't this better?

953
00:50:38,478 --> 00:50:41,015
Or is Billy Botsky's
daughter a call girl, too?

954
00:50:42,983 --> 00:50:44,189
This is much better.

955
00:50:53,452 --> 00:50:54,942
That was what, July, August?

956
00:50:55,328 --> 00:50:56,673
Now it's Christmas time,

957
00:50:56,788 --> 00:50:59,074
and you were still
squabbling over Alexandra?

958
00:50:59,541 --> 00:51:01,657
No. We were fighting about my work.

959
00:51:05,422 --> 00:51:07,253
Well, by the evening,

960
00:51:07,424 --> 00:51:08,755
she'd drunk so much eggnog,

961
00:51:08,925 --> 00:51:11,050
that I had to help her into the bedroom.

962
00:51:12,220 --> 00:51:13,220
Alexander.

963
00:51:14,556 --> 00:51:15,796
Time for bed, darling.

964
00:51:18,268 --> 00:51:20,350
Mmm, mmm, mmm.

965
00:51:21,521 --> 00:51:22,521
There we are.

966
00:51:29,321 --> 00:51:31,232
Please don't hold my arm.

967
00:51:32,074 --> 00:51:34,254
Darling, you know when
you get like this...

968
00:51:34,743 --> 00:51:35,743
Remember?

969
00:51:37,537 --> 00:51:38,933
You fell and broke your hip.

970
00:51:38,997 --> 00:51:40,612
That was years ago.

971
00:51:43,001 --> 00:51:44,582
It was two years ago.

972
00:52:05,774 --> 00:52:07,435
Get me a scotch and soda.

973
00:52:18,829 --> 00:52:21,366
May I at least urinate alone?

974
00:52:41,143 --> 00:52:43,670
She runs the water every
time she goes in there.

975
00:52:45,861 --> 00:52:48,525
If she was already soused,
why'd you go for the scotch?

976
00:52:48,525 --> 00:52:50,186
Because she asked for it.

977
00:52:51,945 --> 00:52:54,277
Sunny got what Sunny wanted.

978
00:52:54,739 --> 00:52:55,739
It's okay.

979
00:53:25,645 --> 00:53:26,645
Good night, dad.

980
00:53:27,314 --> 00:53:28,314
Good night, darling.

981
00:53:30,567 --> 00:53:31,567
Good night, Claus.

982
00:53:32,235 --> 00:53:33,235
Good night, Alex.

983
00:53:47,209 --> 00:53:49,165
Hasn't my mother given us enough money?

984
00:53:51,296 --> 00:53:52,046
Claus?

985
00:53:52,172 --> 00:53:53,833
That night, we hardly slept.

986
00:53:54,216 --> 00:53:56,878
Your age, it's perfectly
acceptable to retire.

987
00:53:57,677 --> 00:53:59,042
I'm already retired.

988
00:54:00,472 --> 00:54:02,453
I haven't worked full-time since Getty.

989
00:54:02,474 --> 00:54:03,930
Exactly. It's your ego.

990
00:54:04,100 --> 00:54:06,211
You've never had a career. Not really.

991
00:54:06,853 --> 00:54:08,389
Well, I'm going to have one now.

992
00:54:11,608 --> 00:54:14,020
Oh, come on, Sunny, your father worked.

993
00:54:15,612 --> 00:54:17,364
Do you want the children to grow up

994
00:54:17,364 --> 00:54:19,525
thinking a male's place
is in a deck chair?

995
00:54:19,559 --> 00:54:21,201
Claus, you marry me for my money,

996
00:54:21,201 --> 00:54:22,244
then you demand to work.

997
00:54:22,244 --> 00:54:23,859
You're the prince of perversion.

998
00:54:24,034 --> 00:54:26,289
I mean, what? Are you trying
to destroy our whole family?

999
00:54:26,289 --> 00:54:27,374
Oh, no, of course not.

1000
00:54:27,374 --> 00:54:29,456
I... l... l simply want some...

1001
00:54:31,169 --> 00:54:32,534
Intercourse with the world.

1002
00:54:32,712 --> 00:54:33,712
Shut up, pan!

1003
00:54:34,965 --> 00:54:36,445
Oh, what does it matter?

1004
00:54:39,552 --> 00:54:41,918
So is that it?

1005
00:54:43,348 --> 00:54:44,383
Another divorce?

1006
00:54:47,477 --> 00:54:48,477
Okay.

1007
00:54:48,770 --> 00:54:50,852
I'll divorce you. I will.

1008
00:54:51,940 --> 00:54:53,305
Oh, god...

1009
00:54:54,067 --> 00:54:55,273
Two-time loser.

1010
00:54:57,070 --> 00:54:58,401
I'll divorce everybody.

1011
00:54:59,030 --> 00:55:01,146
I don't want a divorce.

1012
00:55:01,950 --> 00:55:04,487
I don't want to marry
Billy Botsky's daughter.

1013
00:55:04,541 --> 00:55:06,579
I want to stay with you
and I want to work.

1014
00:55:06,579 --> 00:55:09,036
I need that as a man.

1015
00:55:13,003 --> 00:55:14,003
It's hopeless.

1016
00:55:17,299 --> 00:55:18,334
Oh, god.

1017
00:55:19,968 --> 00:55:21,333
I need my beauty sleep.

1018
00:55:21,511 --> 00:55:24,902
Why do you... why do you believe it's
hopeless just because of some...

1019
00:56:05,221 --> 00:56:06,221
Good night, Claus.

1020
00:56:08,641 --> 00:56:10,097
Sunny, you know I love you.

1021
00:56:28,870 --> 00:56:29,870
Good night.

1022
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:38,200
Okay, and the next day?

1023
00:56:38,338 --> 00:56:39,338
Well...

1024
00:56:41,341 --> 00:56:44,708
Maria's testimony was wildly exaggerated.

1025
00:56:46,304 --> 00:56:48,090
Sunny was never moaning.

1026
00:56:49,182 --> 00:56:51,389
Maybe the occasional snore, but...

1027
00:56:53,311 --> 00:56:55,597
And Maria shook Sunny.

1028
00:56:58,733 --> 00:57:01,349
Nobody ever shook Sunny.

1029
00:57:05,657 --> 00:57:07,948
What happened when she
regained consciousness?

1030
00:57:08,159 --> 00:57:09,490
After the first coma,

1031
00:57:09,661 --> 00:57:11,276
well, it was kind of absurd.

1032
00:57:11,454 --> 00:57:13,160
Everybody was angry at me.

1033
00:57:17,210 --> 00:57:19,121
Can't you ever leave me alone?

1034
00:57:22,757 --> 00:57:23,837
Why did you do it?

1035
00:57:25,093 --> 00:57:26,754
I would have been better off.

1036
00:57:27,554 --> 00:57:29,135
You would have been better off.

1037
00:57:29,305 --> 00:57:30,905
What do you want me to say?

1038
00:57:30,974 --> 00:57:32,589
That I'm sorry I saved your life?

1039
00:57:32,767 --> 00:57:33,767
Yes.

1040
00:57:38,398 --> 00:57:39,398
Say it.

1041
00:57:47,407 --> 00:57:48,692
Of course I'm not sorry.

1042
00:58:07,051 --> 00:58:08,051
Wha...

1043
00:58:09,387 --> 00:58:10,387
Claus...

1044
00:58:14,809 --> 00:58:16,925
What am I going to do with myself?

1045
00:58:23,693 --> 00:58:24,978
When I phoned Alexandra,

1046
00:58:24,978 --> 00:58:27,280
to tell her what had happened,
she said the same thing,

1047
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:29,145
she said, "why did you do it?

1048
00:58:29,324 --> 00:58:30,780
Why did you call the doctor?”

1049
00:58:31,034 --> 00:58:33,366
You telling me she wanted
you to let Sunny die?

1050
00:58:33,578 --> 00:58:35,990
No, no, no, no, no.

1051
00:58:36,164 --> 00:58:37,449
It was more...

1052
00:58:37,999 --> 00:58:41,491
"Everybody says Sunny" s
such an unhappy woman

1053
00:58:41,669 --> 00:58:44,877
and has nothing to live for."

1054
00:58:47,133 --> 00:58:49,670
Well, so much for the first coma.

1055
00:58:50,803 --> 00:58:52,009
The second, of course,

1056
00:58:52,430 --> 00:58:54,136
was much more theatrical.

1057
00:58:55,058 --> 00:58:57,078
Theatrical? What is this, a fucking game?

1058
00:58:57,644 --> 00:59:00,370
This is life and death.
Your wife is laying in a coma.

1059
00:59:01,231 --> 00:59:03,631
You don't even make a
pretense of caring, do you?

1060
00:59:04,651 --> 00:59:05,936
'Course I care, Alan.

1061
00:59:08,488 --> 00:59:10,604
It's just I don't wear
my heart on my sleeve.

1062
00:59:15,328 --> 00:59:16,918
Let's call it a night, okay?

1063
00:59:17,330 --> 00:59:18,661
Okay, guys, so...

1064
00:59:19,499 --> 00:59:20,499
As you wish.

1065
00:59:20,713 --> 00:59:22,585
There were three drugs
on the needle, right?

1066
00:59:22,585 --> 00:59:24,917
Amobarbital, valium, insulin.

1067
00:59:26,548 --> 00:59:27,879
We can't all be you, Alan.

1068
00:59:36,558 --> 00:59:37,758
Shoot! Shoot! All right.

1069
00:59:38,351 --> 00:59:40,808
Okay, get a doctor to
prepare five needles,

1070
00:59:41,271 --> 00:59:42,511
one with nothing,

1071
00:59:42,772 --> 00:59:45,263
two with valium, amobarbital, and insulin,

1072
00:59:45,525 --> 00:59:47,436
two with just valium and amobarbital.

1073
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,655
We're gonna send them to the same
lab that our famous needle went to.

1074
00:59:50,655 --> 00:59:52,921
Let's see if we can get a
false positive result.

1075
00:59:53,032 --> 00:59:54,032
If we don't?

1076
00:59:55,076 --> 00:59:56,632
We don't, I clean the latrines.

1077
00:59:56,703 --> 00:59:58,343
Aw, you're not gonna believe this.

1078
00:59:58,955 --> 01:00:00,355
David Marriott wants money.

1079
01:00:00,373 --> 01:00:01,373
Yeah, who doesn't?

1080
01:00:02,046 --> 01:00:03,710
I'm afraid his memory might fade.

1081
01:00:03,710 --> 01:00:04,877
Oh, the hell with him. Forget about him.

1082
01:00:04,877 --> 01:00:06,212
Well, he has lost his crumby job,

1083
01:00:06,212 --> 01:00:08,942
and he is running around trying
to find evidence for us.

1084
01:00:10,420 --> 01:00:12,719
Okay, why don't we do what the
government does with its witnesses?

1085
01:00:12,719 --> 01:00:14,189
Okay? We'll pay for his time.

1086
01:00:14,596 --> 01:00:15,836
What's his time worth?

1087
01:00:15,888 --> 01:00:18,470
Buck and a half. = Sarah? Dersh?

1088
01:00:19,559 --> 01:00:20,559
Your team's on.

1089
01:00:21,152 --> 01:00:23,229
Okay. You going to pass
to me this game or what?

1090
01:00:23,229 --> 01:00:24,229
No.

1091
01:00:26,316 --> 01:00:27,866
Their private investigator said

1092
01:00:27,900 --> 01:00:29,861
the needle had a small
encrustation near the tip.

1093
01:00:29,861 --> 01:00:32,973
Now, doctors tell us this is totally
inconsistent with injection.

1094
01:00:33,072 --> 01:00:34,698
Okay, so how did it get there?

1095
01:00:36,951 --> 01:00:37,951
Oh.

1096
01:00:38,036 --> 01:00:39,947
If I inject this needle,

1097
01:00:40,288 --> 01:00:42,370
the skin acts as kind of a swab.

1098
01:00:42,707 --> 01:00:43,947
It cleans the needle off,

1099
01:00:44,292 --> 01:00:46,954
leaving the tip completely free of liquid.

1100
01:00:47,128 --> 01:00:50,291
But if I just dip the
needle into the liquid,

1101
01:00:50,465 --> 01:00:51,465
what do you see?

1102
01:00:52,592 --> 01:00:53,592
Dry this out,

1103
01:00:53,926 --> 01:00:55,416
you have an encrustation.

1104
01:00:55,845 --> 01:00:56,885
So it's a frame-up?

1105
01:00:57,472 --> 01:00:59,303
It's Desdemona's handkerchief.

1106
01:01:00,433 --> 01:01:02,323
My stepchildren thought I was guilty,

1107
01:01:02,323 --> 01:01:04,020
didn't feel they had enough evidence,

1108
01:01:04,020 --> 01:01:05,226
and so concocted some.

1109
01:01:05,605 --> 01:01:07,156
This should win us the case, no?

1110
01:01:07,273 --> 01:01:09,480
No. We're maybe halfway home.

1111
01:01:10,902 --> 01:01:12,928
There's still a lot of weird stuff.

1112
01:01:13,404 --> 01:01:14,404
Did you love Sunny?

1113
01:01:14,781 --> 01:01:15,781
I married her.

1114
01:01:17,061 --> 01:01:19,077
Of course I loved her. She was beautiful.

1115
01:01:19,077 --> 01:01:20,077
Rich.

1116
01:01:20,244 --> 01:01:21,244
Why not?

1117
01:01:21,579 --> 01:01:23,709
What I've seen of the rich, you can have.

1118
01:01:23,956 --> 01:01:24,956
I do.

1119
01:01:29,587 --> 01:01:30,587
The black bag,

1120
01:01:30,838 --> 01:01:31,838
was it yours?

1121
01:01:34,175 --> 01:01:35,756
Sunny appropriated it.

1122
01:01:36,386 --> 01:01:37,842
Now, to understand that,

1123
01:01:38,054 --> 01:01:40,796
you must understand that
after the first coma,

1124
01:01:41,057 --> 01:01:43,218
she went into a complete rage.

1125
01:01:48,272 --> 01:01:49,933
Where are they? Did you take them?

1126
01:01:50,108 --> 01:01:51,308
Certainly not. Take what?

1127
01:01:51,359 --> 01:01:52,974
My pills, you moron.

1128
01:01:54,070 --> 01:01:55,401
Valium, seconal...

1129
01:01:57,156 --> 01:01:58,616
You took them, didn't you?

1130
01:01:58,825 --> 01:02:01,111
My dear, I've long since
stopped interfering.

1131
01:02:01,285 --> 01:02:03,196
Well, who? My children wouldn't dare...

1132
01:02:03,955 --> 01:02:04,955
Oh.

1133
01:02:05,206 --> 01:02:06,616
Oh, I know who.

1134
01:02:06,791 --> 01:02:07,791
Where are you going?

1135
01:02:21,055 --> 01:02:22,055
Maria!

1136
01:02:32,066 --> 01:02:33,602
She soon found them.

1137
01:02:35,236 --> 01:02:37,101
It's my lovely mother, isn't it?

1138
01:02:37,488 --> 01:02:38,819
She's behind all this.

1139
01:02:39,782 --> 01:02:41,568
She's in cahoots with Maria.

1140
01:02:43,536 --> 01:02:47,529
Well, just because she had all the money

1141
01:02:47,707 --> 01:02:49,447
before I had all the money

1142
01:02:49,625 --> 01:02:51,911
does not mean she's my lord and master.

1143
01:02:52,253 --> 01:02:54,494
'Course not. I am your lord and master.

1144
01:02:56,549 --> 01:02:57,549
Just kidding.

1145
01:03:02,805 --> 01:03:04,511
Maria loves me too much.

1146
01:03:05,850 --> 01:03:07,135
It's unhealthy for her,

1147
01:03:07,894 --> 01:03:10,135
and it's certainly no fun for me.

1148
01:03:15,526 --> 01:03:16,606
There.

1149
01:03:32,585 --> 01:03:34,676
We'll see if that ugly little maid of mine

1150
01:03:34,754 --> 01:03:35,994
can sniff this one out.

1151
01:03:45,973 --> 01:03:48,053
And what are you going
to do with all that?

1152
01:03:48,976 --> 01:03:50,286
I'm not going to tell you.

1153
01:03:51,103 --> 01:03:53,594
I assure you, it not gonna
be among my affairs.

1154
01:03:55,608 --> 01:03:58,395
Odd she used that word, affairs.

1155
01:03:59,257 --> 01:04:01,715
You realize the prosecution
thinks you ground up the drugs

1156
01:04:01,715 --> 01:04:02,979
so you could inject Sunny?

1157
01:04:03,407 --> 01:04:06,194
And frankly, this nose drop
business is pretty far-fetched.

1158
01:04:06,953 --> 01:04:09,285
But consider the pattern, Alan.

1159
01:04:10,289 --> 01:04:13,281
It's public record that Sunny used drugs.

1160
01:04:13,668 --> 01:04:16,501
Her behavior here of hiding them in liquid

1161
01:04:16,921 --> 01:04:18,661
so that no one will find them,

1162
01:04:19,298 --> 01:04:21,754
it's your classic alcoholic
buying pints of whiskey

1163
01:04:21,754 --> 01:04:23,638
and stashing them all over the house.

1164
01:04:24,929 --> 01:04:25,929
You're right.

1165
01:04:27,139 --> 01:04:28,139
Of course, I mean...

1166
01:04:28,891 --> 01:04:31,132
I mean, you've always
been right, haven't you?

1167
01:04:32,478 --> 01:04:34,948
This is the most dangerous
case I've ever worked on.

1168
01:04:35,064 --> 01:04:36,370
You find that exhilarating?

1169
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:37,440
No, I do not.

1170
01:04:38,943 --> 01:04:40,303
I am breaking every rule.

1171
01:04:40,358 --> 01:04:42,864
'Cause the best way to win is
to proclaim your innocence,

1172
01:04:42,864 --> 01:04:44,775
and I've never done that for anybody.

1173
01:04:45,700 --> 01:04:47,891
And the problem I got
is I see who you are.

1174
01:04:48,119 --> 01:04:49,404
You'd do anything to win.

1175
01:04:49,745 --> 01:04:50,745
So would you.

1176
01:04:50,872 --> 01:04:52,992
Yeah, but you don't
trust the legal system.

1177
01:04:53,583 --> 01:04:55,744
You're saying I'd manufacture witnesses?

1178
01:04:56,586 --> 01:04:57,666
Affidavits?

1179
01:04:59,130 --> 01:05:01,371
No, but you would sacrifice me.

1180
01:05:01,549 --> 01:05:02,549
Oh, please, Alan.

1181
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:06,210
See, the more I believe that you are
innocent, the more nervous I am.

1182
01:05:07,096 --> 01:05:08,632
I go out on a limb for you,

1183
01:05:09,140 --> 01:05:11,321
you're proven guilty, I
look like an asshole.

1184
01:05:11,809 --> 01:05:14,721
My reputation, my credibility,
my career, destroyed.

1185
01:05:16,277 --> 01:05:18,190
That's the risk you're taking, isn't it?

1186
01:05:18,190 --> 01:05:19,225
Yeah, well, fuck you.

1187
01:05:20,151 --> 01:05:21,357
Fuck you, man.

1188
01:05:33,789 --> 01:05:35,684
I'm glad we understand one another.

1189
01:05:38,961 --> 01:05:42,078
It's easy to forget all
this is about me...

1190
01:05:42,757 --> 01:05:43,837
Lying here.

1191
01:05:44,759 --> 01:05:47,421
To most of you, my name means coma.

1192
01:05:47,929 --> 01:05:51,092
My second marriage means attempted murder.

1193
01:05:51,766 --> 01:05:53,176
Everything that came before,

1194
01:05:53,351 --> 01:05:56,764
everything beautiful, does not
exist in the public mind.

1195
01:05:57,605 --> 01:06:00,017
No one thinks of how I loved my children.

1196
01:06:00,524 --> 01:06:01,639
Look at Cosima,

1197
01:06:02,568 --> 01:06:03,603
and Alex, of course,

1198
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:05,320
and Ala,

1199
01:06:05,571 --> 01:06:07,857
and certainly no one cares about Claus,

1200
01:06:08,366 --> 01:06:10,527
the way he was when I
fell in love with him.

1201
01:06:11,369 --> 01:06:12,905
When Claus and I first met,

1202
01:06:13,079 --> 01:06:16,663
I was married to the dashing, young
prince Alfred Eduard Friederich

1203
01:06:16,832 --> 01:06:19,744
Vincenz Martin Maria von Auersberg.

1204
01:06:20,836 --> 01:06:23,077
It was 1964,

1205
01:06:24,090 --> 01:06:26,502
seven years into my first marriage.

1206
01:06:32,264 --> 01:06:34,220
It seems that my first husband,

1207
01:06:34,517 --> 01:06:36,678
Alfie, as he was called,

1208
01:06:37,478 --> 01:06:41,642
had vowed to be unfaithful with
every pretty girl in Europe.

1209
01:06:43,818 --> 01:06:45,934
He was having quite a success.

1210
01:06:47,905 --> 01:06:48,905
And so...

1211
01:06:50,032 --> 01:06:52,648
I was unfaithful with Claus.

1212
01:07:04,046 --> 01:07:05,046
Psst!

1213
01:07:11,178 --> 01:07:12,884
Wildly unfaithful.

1214
01:07:15,057 --> 01:07:16,217
Happy memories.

1215
01:07:25,192 --> 01:07:27,683
But it's not the passion I remember most.

1216
01:07:29,613 --> 01:07:30,853
It's the tenderness.

1217
01:07:37,830 --> 01:07:39,115
Good god, what's that?

1218
01:07:39,790 --> 01:07:41,371
There's one of frank's pets.

1219
01:07:46,005 --> 01:07:47,620
Oh, my god. No, no.

1220
01:08:04,607 --> 01:08:06,518
I never liked people much,

1221
01:08:06,942 --> 01:08:08,057
not as a rule.

1222
01:08:08,611 --> 01:08:09,611
Go ahead, feed him.

1223
01:08:09,695 --> 01:08:11,902
But Claus was somehow different.

1224
01:08:14,867 --> 01:08:17,199
Not a normal person, I guess.

1225
01:08:21,165 --> 01:08:22,701
It's all right. Do it again.

1226
01:08:22,875 --> 01:08:23,875
Give him some more.

1227
01:08:26,087 --> 01:08:27,087
Aw!

1228
01:08:37,430 --> 01:08:39,967
One of those things you never forget.

1229
01:08:41,894 --> 01:08:44,806
Of course, now he lives in my apartment...

1230
01:08:45,814 --> 01:08:46,894
My bedroom...

1231
01:08:48,067 --> 01:08:49,067
My bed.

1232
01:08:50,402 --> 01:08:51,892
Cold, isn't it?

1233
01:08:53,029 --> 01:08:56,146
Cold and brutish and the way of the world.

1234
01:08:57,660 --> 01:08:58,660
Looking at him now,

1235
01:08:58,702 --> 01:09:00,317
the issues seem simple.

1236
01:09:01,412 --> 01:09:02,652
Is he the devil?

1237
01:09:03,624 --> 01:09:06,787
If so, can the devil get justice?

1238
01:09:08,129 --> 01:09:10,290
And all this legal activity...

1239
01:09:11,674 --> 01:09:14,086
Is it in Satan's service?

1240
01:09:15,010 --> 01:09:17,342
"Sunny von Bülow was totally vulnerable

1241
01:09:17,513 --> 01:09:18,969
to Claus von Bülow."

1242
01:09:20,140 --> 01:09:21,540
Can't argue with that.

1243
01:09:21,892 --> 01:09:24,679
But it's speculation. Exaggeration.

1244
01:09:24,854 --> 01:09:26,024
You keep working on it.

1245
01:09:26,104 --> 01:09:28,220
Totally inflammatory!

1246
01:09:30,151 --> 01:09:31,812
Okay, good. Let's go over this.

1247
01:09:33,154 --> 01:09:36,646
Okay, we went over it...
once, I just wanted you to see if...

1248
01:09:44,456 --> 01:09:46,992
Oh, shit, wha...
what is this, illegal search?

1249
01:09:49,217 --> 01:09:50,546
It's a classic technicality.

1250
01:09:50,546 --> 01:09:51,546
It's a guilty man's argument.

1251
01:09:51,546 --> 01:09:52,798
Come on, this is different.

1252
01:09:52,798 --> 01:09:55,134
Usual fourth amendment case,
you're trying to exclude evidence

1253
01:09:55,134 --> 01:09:56,468
that's bad for your client.
= no, no. No, no.

1254
01:09:56,468 --> 01:09:57,878
Same thing here. Same thing.

1255
01:09:58,053 --> 01:10:00,419
No. This search destroyed evidence.

1256
01:10:00,973 --> 01:10:02,404
No fingerprints, no inventory.

1257
01:10:02,404 --> 01:10:04,518
Yeah, what's left hurts
Claus, but under Brady,

1258
01:10:04,518 --> 01:10:05,685
the state has an obligation...

1259
01:10:05,685 --> 01:10:07,813
Wait, wait, wait a second.
The cops tested the drugs

1260
01:10:07,813 --> 01:10:09,523
- from the illegal search, right?
- Yes, yes.

1261
01:10:09,523 --> 01:10:13,107
And we are saying that that test
constituted a second illegal search.

1262
01:10:13,196 --> 01:10:14,195
There are precedents.

1263
01:10:14,195 --> 01:10:15,905
- Walter, Jacobson, Morgan.
- I know there are precedents.

1264
01:10:15,905 --> 01:10:17,948
I know the law is on our side.
I'm not debating that.

1265
01:10:17,948 --> 01:10:18,782
What I'm trying to do is...

1266
01:10:18,782 --> 01:10:21,694
No. You're debating me personally. Why?

1267
01:10:23,746 --> 01:10:26,679
I'm debating strategy, okay?
I'm not... I'm not debating you.

1268
01:10:26,679 --> 01:10:27,750
We're all on the same team.

1269
01:10:27,750 --> 01:10:29,335
A-a-are we on the same team here or not?

1270
01:10:29,335 --> 01:10:31,075
I don't know. We seem to be.

1271
01:10:31,462 --> 01:10:33,052
Well then, why don't I feel it?

1272
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:35,174
I thought this was strictly professional.

1273
01:10:35,174 --> 01:10:36,835
- It was. - That's bullshit, Alan.

1274
01:10:37,259 --> 01:10:39,845
Look, I brought you... I...
l asked you to work on this case

1275
01:10:39,845 --> 01:10:41,180
because I think you are a good lawyer.

1276
01:10:41,180 --> 01:10:43,842
I think you're a fine lawyer, too.
You're a great lawyer.

1277
01:10:43,933 --> 01:10:45,476
But you give everything
you have to the law,

1278
01:10:45,476 --> 01:10:46,936
and you forget the people you care about.

1279
01:10:46,936 --> 01:10:49,598
My clients are the people
that I care about.

1280
01:10:49,772 --> 01:10:50,601
Obviously.

1281
01:10:50,601 --> 01:10:52,191
What I care about, all I care about,

1282
01:10:52,191 --> 01:10:54,477
all I fucking care about is this!

1283
01:10:55,152 --> 01:10:56,358
This case!

1284
01:10:56,779 --> 01:11:00,442
And making... making the best possible
appeal we're capable of doing, okay?

1285
01:11:00,778 --> 01:11:02,952
Now, you can make your
argument better, Sarah.

1286
01:11:02,952 --> 01:11:04,783
You know that! I know that!

1287
01:11:04,954 --> 01:11:07,674
So why don't you just do it
and cut out all the bullshit?

1288
01:11:08,666 --> 01:11:11,316
Wow, you always have to have
the last word, don't you?

1289
01:11:42,658 --> 01:11:43,658
What?

1290
01:11:46,245 --> 01:11:47,245
We're going to lose.

1291
01:11:48,580 --> 01:11:50,866
W-why do you think this
case fascinates people?

1292
01:11:52,668 --> 01:11:55,690
'Cause one time or other every
man is driven crazy by his wife,

1293
01:11:55,754 --> 01:11:57,084
and in his secret heart,

1294
01:11:57,923 --> 01:12:00,255
he wants to do exactly
what Claus is accused of,

1295
01:12:01,385 --> 01:12:05,048
kill her in some sly, silent
way that can't be detected.

1296
01:12:05,597 --> 01:12:07,337
Claus is a scapegoat.

1297
01:12:07,933 --> 01:12:11,039
Someone has to suffer for the
sin that we all want to commit.

1298
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:15,930
Alan, that's ridiculous.

1299
01:12:18,110 --> 01:12:19,566
It's ridiculous, you're right.

1300
01:12:19,987 --> 01:12:21,147
It's rid...

1301
01:12:24,325 --> 01:12:25,325
What do you got?

1302
01:12:25,784 --> 01:12:28,742
Prosecution's case is based on a theory.

1303
01:12:30,359 --> 01:12:31,582
The needle in the bag,

1304
01:12:31,582 --> 01:12:33,197
plus insulin on the needle,

1305
01:12:33,625 --> 01:12:36,612
- plus insulin in her blood.
- Right, right, yeah. Okay, fine.

1306
01:12:37,421 --> 01:12:40,629
In Derek, this Rhode Island supreme court,

1307
01:12:40,799 --> 01:12:41,799
these same judges,

1308
01:12:42,551 --> 01:12:46,544
said that in a case based
on circumstantial theory,

1309
01:12:47,890 --> 01:12:49,551
the case falls apart

1310
01:12:50,392 --> 01:12:52,474
if any part of the theory is weak.

1311
01:12:53,362 --> 01:12:55,105
If there's a weak link in the chain,

1312
01:12:55,105 --> 01:12:56,805
then you throw the whole chain out?

1313
01:12:56,940 --> 01:12:57,940
Exactly.

1314
01:12:59,985 --> 01:13:01,641
Peter, that's very... that's good.

1315
01:13:01,695 --> 01:13:03,140
That... that's very good.

1316
01:13:07,326 --> 01:13:08,676
Oh, yeah, this is good.

1317
01:13:09,078 --> 01:13:10,238
- Thank you. - Oh, yeah.

1318
01:13:10,316 --> 01:13:12,164
Wait, wait, wait.
What do you want me to do now?

1319
01:13:12,164 --> 01:13:13,123
What I want you to do?

1320
01:13:13,123 --> 01:13:15,960
I want you to find as many
alternative theories as possible.

1321
01:13:16,043 --> 01:13:17,043
Hey! Hey, hey!

1322
01:13:17,169 --> 01:13:19,879
Come on, come on, come on.
There's only seven days left.

1323
01:13:24,343 --> 01:13:26,959
Dersh? I'm sorry, but you
better come downstairs.

1324
01:13:28,347 --> 01:13:30,759
Hey, Dersh. Sorry to get you out of bed.

1325
01:13:32,129 --> 01:13:34,269
What do you...
what do you want, more money?

1326
01:13:34,269 --> 01:13:35,269
Can you get more?

1327
01:13:37,523 --> 01:13:39,473
Can I have a glass of water, please?

1328
01:13:43,612 --> 01:13:44,612
No.

1329
01:13:44,863 --> 01:13:45,863
The reason I'm here,

1330
01:13:46,198 --> 01:13:47,813
my affidavit is inaccurate.

1331
01:13:52,287 --> 01:13:54,278
Great. Just what I need right now.

1332
01:13:55,874 --> 01:13:56,954
- That's swell. - Yeah.

1333
01:13:58,252 --> 01:14:00,868
I left something out, something
incredibly important.

1334
01:14:02,423 --> 01:14:05,631
Remember I gave Alex's drugs
to a woman at Clarendon Court?

1335
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:07,760
Yeah. So?

1336
01:14:08,011 --> 01:14:10,502
Well, that bitch was
definitely Sunny von Bülow.

1337
01:14:12,558 --> 01:14:14,139
David...

1338
01:14:14,977 --> 01:14:15,977
This, uh...

1339
01:14:17,062 --> 01:14:18,393
This is bad. It looks bad.

1340
01:14:18,730 --> 01:14:21,722
I've met with you, what, five times now?
All of a sudden...

1341
01:14:21,900 --> 01:14:23,265
No, it's not sudden.

1342
01:14:24,194 --> 01:14:26,321
I think I always knew,
but I became convinced

1343
01:14:26,321 --> 01:14:27,857
by staring at pictures of her.

1344
01:14:31,910 --> 01:14:34,500
Well, we can't use your
affidavit unless it's truthful.

1345
01:14:34,955 --> 01:14:36,165
Are you sure this time?

1346
01:14:36,206 --> 01:14:37,206
I swear...

1347
01:14:38,041 --> 01:14:40,032
On the body and soul of my mother.

1348
01:14:41,628 --> 01:14:42,628
Poor woman.

1349
01:14:45,679 --> 01:14:47,468
Put in this change and make him go over

1350
01:14:47,468 --> 01:14:48,953
every word of the affidavit.

1351
01:14:50,429 --> 01:14:51,429
Uh...

1352
01:14:51,638 --> 01:14:53,174
Can I use your men's room?

1353
01:15:04,359 --> 01:15:05,503
More money?

1354
01:15:05,527 --> 01:15:07,007
Can you get more?

1355
01:15:12,784 --> 01:15:14,775
But if Claus had injected her,

1356
01:15:14,995 --> 01:15:17,039
he'd have thrown away the needle, right?

1357
01:15:17,039 --> 01:15:19,121
Sure. If he threw away the insulin,

1358
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:21,000
why keep the needle?

1359
01:15:21,210 --> 01:15:23,421
Hey, Claus is strange,
but he ain't stupid.

1360
01:15:24,129 --> 01:15:25,209
He is arrogant.

1361
01:15:25,714 --> 01:15:26,544
Is that a crime?

1362
01:15:26,715 --> 01:15:28,195
Sometimes.

1363
01:15:28,300 --> 01:15:30,165
Why are we even discussing this?

1364
01:15:30,385 --> 01:15:32,296
It's obvious. The kids framed him.

1365
01:15:32,471 --> 01:15:34,553
Whoa, you changed your tune.

1366
01:15:37,809 --> 01:15:39,845
A frame-up doesn't mean he's innocent.

1367
01:15:40,771 --> 01:15:42,936
The kids could have framed a guilty man.

1368
01:15:43,982 --> 01:15:44,982
Dersh!

1369
01:15:45,150 --> 01:15:46,150
Telephone!

1370
01:15:49,821 --> 01:15:50,981
It's Peter Macintosh.

1371
01:15:52,241 --> 01:15:53,241
Yeah?

1372
01:15:58,914 --> 01:15:59,914
You know what it is?

1373
01:16:03,001 --> 01:16:04,001
Okay.

1374
01:16:08,590 --> 01:16:11,041
Word in Rhode Island is
that the state can't lose.

1375
01:16:11,176 --> 01:16:12,836
They got an Ace up their sleeve.

1376
01:16:13,679 --> 01:16:14,679
What is it?

1377
01:16:17,641 --> 01:16:19,371
He's going to try to find out.

1378
01:16:21,770 --> 01:16:23,140
All right, my friend...

1379
01:16:23,188 --> 01:16:24,268
Friend? I like that.

1380
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:25,439
Nothing personal.

1381
01:16:26,358 --> 01:16:28,189
Okay, no students, no witnesses.

1382
01:16:28,694 --> 01:16:30,204
Second coma. Let's hear it.

1383
01:16:30,862 --> 01:16:31,862
Well, Alan,

1384
01:16:32,069 --> 01:16:34,695
strange as it may seem
now in retrospect...

1385
01:16:34,700 --> 01:16:35,867
Claus, cut the bullshit.

1386
01:16:35,867 --> 01:16:37,403
December 20, 1980.

1387
01:16:40,581 --> 01:16:41,787
Sunny was unwell.

1388
01:16:42,207 --> 01:16:45,290
We'd been arguing all afternoon.

1389
01:16:46,044 --> 01:16:49,127
I'd at last been offered a new
position in the oil business,

1390
01:16:49,298 --> 01:16:52,265
which would have meant my
spending some time in Europe.

1391
01:16:56,513 --> 01:16:58,469
Well, the discussion must have escalated,

1392
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:00,676
because I went to talk to the children.

1393
01:17:03,020 --> 01:17:06,262
This cargo will bring 50,000 gold florins

1394
01:17:06,440 --> 01:17:08,020
from any rebels worth the name.

1395
01:17:08,025 --> 01:17:09,390
50,000 florins?

1396
01:17:09,568 --> 01:17:11,229
That's a pretty good take.

1397
01:17:11,462 --> 01:17:12,654
Let's put it to the vote.

1398
01:17:12,654 --> 01:17:13,814
All those in favor...

1399
01:17:13,989 --> 01:17:16,401
If you'll forgive my
interrupting, skipper,

1400
01:17:16,742 --> 01:17:18,403
I'd like to think before I...

1401
01:17:21,246 --> 01:17:24,238
L... I've something to tell you both.

1402
01:17:24,583 --> 01:17:27,503
We're heading for the biggest
and the best pirate days ever!

1403
01:17:27,753 --> 01:17:29,539
L...

1404
01:17:33,759 --> 01:17:34,759
It looks as if...

1405
01:17:36,261 --> 01:17:37,421
As though...

1406
01:17:37,929 --> 01:17:40,136
Mummy and I are going to have to split up,

1407
01:17:41,933 --> 01:17:44,766
because my work is something
she just cannot tolerate.

1408
01:17:45,062 --> 01:17:46,768
Mummy says things like that.

1409
01:17:48,190 --> 01:17:49,521
She always gets over it.

1410
01:17:50,233 --> 01:17:52,770
Yes, but this has been
going on for too long.

1411
01:18:00,952 --> 01:18:03,489
I'm going to Europe for a
few months in the new year,

1412
01:18:05,666 --> 01:18:07,536
and this will probably lead to a split.

1413
01:18:07,584 --> 01:18:08,584
Oh.

1414
01:18:09,628 --> 01:18:11,348
It's all right. She'll get over it.

1415
01:18:14,641 --> 01:18:17,552
Yeah, well, Alexander says that
conversation happened the next day.

1416
01:18:17,552 --> 01:18:19,373
Can you imagine anything more absurd

1417
01:18:19,388 --> 01:18:21,598
than announcing your
intention to divorce a woman

1418
01:18:21,598 --> 01:18:23,429
who's just fallen into a coma?

1419
01:18:24,267 --> 01:18:27,805
No. That evening, everything
seemed normal enough.

1420
01:18:29,356 --> 01:18:30,471
Not cheerful,

1421
01:18:31,441 --> 01:18:34,057
but then, we didn't usually
giggle at mealtimes.

1422
01:18:35,237 --> 01:18:37,944
Despite her doctor's
warnings about sweets,

1423
01:18:38,115 --> 01:18:41,107
the only thing Sunny
consumed was a sundae.

1424
01:18:52,879 --> 01:18:55,916
After supper, I went to finish
off some work in my study.

1425
01:18:56,838 --> 01:18:58,093
Well, what should we all do?

1426
01:18:58,093 --> 01:19:00,459
The others decided to
chat in the living room.

1427
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:03,261
Ah, that would be lovely, but...

1428
01:19:04,015 --> 01:19:06,802
First I need to go to my...
To my room for just a minute.

1429
01:19:21,283 --> 01:19:23,490
After about an hour, I dropped in on them.

1430
01:19:28,331 --> 01:19:30,311
Darling, would you care for anything?

1431
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:32,960
Mmm...

1432
01:19:34,463 --> 01:19:36,704
If there's some...

1433
01:19:37,924 --> 01:19:39,334
Chicken bullion left.

1434
01:19:43,722 --> 01:19:44,722
I'll look.

1435
01:20:00,071 --> 01:20:01,521
There you are, darling.

1436
01:20:11,541 --> 01:20:12,541
Thank you.

1437
01:20:20,759 --> 01:20:23,091
How is your work... coming?

1438
01:20:23,261 --> 01:20:24,401
I'm totally flummoxed.

1439
01:20:24,429 --> 01:20:26,809
I can't get the figures to make any sense.

1440
01:20:29,851 --> 01:20:31,827
Why don't you call your friend Deborah?

1441
01:20:32,979 --> 01:20:34,824
I doubt she'd be in Saturday night.

1442
01:20:39,486 --> 01:20:42,899
So, Deborah, I think you'll agree,
that's 728... right, now.

1443
01:20:43,490 --> 01:20:44,650
But Deborah was home,

1444
01:20:44,741 --> 01:20:47,153
and we did talk for some time until...

1445
01:20:48,620 --> 01:20:49,620
- Claus. - Hold on.

1446
01:20:49,663 --> 01:20:51,133
Come quick. Mummy's not well.

1447
01:20:51,665 --> 01:20:54,122
Deborah, can I call you back
in the morning? Thanks.

1448
01:20:54,543 --> 01:20:57,916
Her voice got very weak and she almost fell down.
I had to help her.

1449
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:10,176
Somebody open a window.

1450
01:21:13,812 --> 01:21:15,723
I find the chill reassuring.

1451
01:21:20,735 --> 01:21:22,225
Now I must speak with Claus.

1452
01:21:22,404 --> 01:21:23,844
- Night, mummy. - Night.

1453
01:21:29,035 --> 01:21:30,035
Good night, darling.

1454
01:21:32,914 --> 01:21:33,914
Good night, Alex.

1455
01:21:34,708 --> 01:21:35,868
She'll be all right.

1456
01:21:45,594 --> 01:21:47,755
That is, if Claus has time to talk.

1457
01:21:48,315 --> 01:21:49,510
Or are you going to work

1458
01:21:49,514 --> 01:21:51,755
every spare moment right
through Christmas?

1459
01:21:52,809 --> 01:21:53,809
Hmm?

1460
01:21:55,562 --> 01:21:57,393
Is your work really so fascinating,

1461
01:21:57,874 --> 01:21:59,399
or are you trying to drive me away?

1462
01:21:59,399 --> 01:22:01,610
Because if you are, it's
succeeding beautifully,

1463
01:22:01,610 --> 01:22:02,910
because I don't want this.

1464
01:22:03,820 --> 01:22:05,380
I didn't marry you for this.

1465
01:22:06,072 --> 01:22:07,392
I could have had anybody.

1466
01:22:07,532 --> 01:22:09,022
With my money? Anybody.

1467
01:22:10,660 --> 01:22:11,660
Well?

1468
01:22:12,829 --> 01:22:13,829
Say something!

1469
01:22:16,249 --> 01:22:17,249
Do something!

1470
01:22:18,585 --> 01:22:19,585
Be a man!

1471
01:22:21,588 --> 01:22:22,953
I already have a Butler.

1472
01:22:28,011 --> 01:22:29,011
Do something!

1473
01:22:30,263 --> 01:22:32,675
I don't want this! I don't!

1474
01:22:32,849 --> 01:22:34,009
I don't want this!

1475
01:22:34,976 --> 01:22:35,976
Please! I don't...

1476
01:22:36,269 --> 01:22:37,600
I don't want th...

1477
01:22:39,522 --> 01:22:41,979
The same conversation
as the previous year,

1478
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:44,356
only this time with greater venom.

1479
01:22:44,527 --> 01:22:46,087
You've always been afraid of me.

1480
01:22:46,363 --> 01:22:47,803
It's not because of my money.

1481
01:22:48,239 --> 01:22:50,269
It's basically because you're a coward.

1482
01:22:51,076 --> 01:22:53,262
Because your pitiful
masculinity is so fragile

1483
01:22:53,286 --> 01:22:55,368
you can't stand the idea of confrontation,

1484
01:22:55,538 --> 01:22:57,870
so you go off with miss Botsky...

1485
01:22:58,041 --> 01:22:59,041
Good night.

1486
01:23:14,766 --> 01:23:16,176
Hey! Hey.

1487
01:23:17,227 --> 01:23:19,934
As was usual, I was awakened before dawn.

1488
01:23:26,236 --> 01:23:28,522
I let the dogs out, as was customary.

1489
01:23:33,488 --> 01:23:35,078
I went back through the bedroom

1490
01:23:35,078 --> 01:23:37,911
to my study as quietly as possible.

1491
01:23:43,670 --> 01:23:46,082
I did not notice if my wife was in bed.

1492
01:23:46,423 --> 01:23:49,790
I did not notice if the light
was on under the bathroom door.

1493
01:23:50,301 --> 01:23:53,008
Had it been on, I wouldn't
have given it a thought.

1494
01:23:53,930 --> 01:23:56,387
I did my exercises, showered,

1495
01:23:56,683 --> 01:23:58,548
and then I called Deborah Knowles.

1496
01:23:59,102 --> 01:24:01,514
Well, I mean, it's stable
and it's profitable.

1497
01:24:02,814 --> 01:24:04,270
Can anyone really believe,

1498
01:24:04,441 --> 01:24:06,602
if I was trying to murder my wife,

1499
01:24:06,776 --> 01:24:10,360
that I would spend an hour going
over a tedious set of figures?

1500
01:24:12,032 --> 01:24:14,484
After the call, I passed
through the bedroom again.

1501
01:24:14,534 --> 01:24:15,990
I remember it was freezing.

1502
01:24:16,286 --> 01:24:18,698
By this time, Sunny was
certainly not in bed,

1503
01:24:19,289 --> 01:24:21,450
and I heard water running in the bathroom.

1504
01:24:25,003 --> 01:24:27,961
I had breakfast, walked the dogs,

1505
01:24:28,548 --> 01:24:29,583
and on my return,

1506
01:24:29,841 --> 01:24:31,797
asked the children where mummy was.

1507
01:24:33,094 --> 01:24:34,534
Has mummy had breakfast yet?

1508
01:24:35,597 --> 01:24:36,597
We haven't seen her.

1509
01:24:41,394 --> 01:24:42,394
Sunny?

1510
01:24:44,481 --> 01:24:46,563
Her bathroom was her private sanctuary.

1511
01:24:46,983 --> 01:24:49,725
No one entered it, except
the maid, of course,

1512
01:24:49,903 --> 01:24:50,903
to clean up.

1513
01:24:51,905 --> 01:24:54,817
Sometimes she stayed there
for hours, or so it seemed.

1514
01:24:55,408 --> 01:24:58,992
One can only speculate what
goes on behind a closed door.

1515
01:24:59,245 --> 01:25:00,485
Sunny, are you there?

1516
01:25:02,207 --> 01:25:04,072
I hesitated even to knock.

1517
01:25:07,128 --> 01:25:08,128
Darling?

1518
01:25:24,604 --> 01:25:25,604
Sunny?

1519
01:25:28,108 --> 01:25:29,223
Oh, god.

1520
01:25:30,902 --> 01:25:32,893
Once I'd ascertained she was breathing,

1521
01:25:33,071 --> 01:25:34,902
I went to fetch Alexander.

1522
01:25:35,824 --> 01:25:37,490
Why not call an ambulance first?

1523
01:25:37,700 --> 01:25:39,861
Panic, Alan, panic.

1524
01:25:40,328 --> 01:25:41,328
I mean, I... il...

1525
01:25:42,413 --> 01:25:45,360
I... l needed to talk to somebody.
There...

1526
01:25:47,252 --> 01:25:48,833
She was breathing normally.

1527
01:25:49,003 --> 01:25:51,494
It wasn't...
it wasn't like the year before.

1528
01:25:52,757 --> 01:25:54,873
I mean, in retrospect it seems absurd,

1529
01:25:55,051 --> 01:25:58,088
but I looked at her upper
lip, she had blood on it.

1530
01:25:58,093 --> 01:25:59,597
I thought she'd broken a tooth.

1531
01:25:59,597 --> 01:26:01,838
That was the extent of my concern,

1532
01:26:02,892 --> 01:26:03,892
and that's...

1533
01:26:04,519 --> 01:26:06,329
That's really all... all I can...

1534
01:26:06,855 --> 01:26:08,335
That's really all I can say.

1535
01:26:10,567 --> 01:26:11,932
Yeah, but is it the truth?

1536
01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:13,440
Of course.

1537
01:26:13,778 --> 01:26:15,018
But not the whole truth?

1538
01:26:15,613 --> 01:26:18,025
I don't know the whole truth.

1539
01:26:18,283 --> 01:26:20,695
I don't know what happened to her.

1540
01:26:20,910 --> 01:26:22,375
Wish I didn't believe you.

1541
01:26:22,954 --> 01:26:26,154
You know, it's very hard to trust
someone you don't understand.

1542
01:26:28,585 --> 01:26:30,205
You're a very strange man.

1543
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:33,336
You have no idea.

1544
01:26:42,140 --> 01:26:43,140
Everybody here?

1545
01:26:43,224 --> 01:26:45,835
Peter Macintosh is late.
Says he's got bad news.

1546
01:26:47,896 --> 01:26:48,896
There he is.

1547
01:27:02,452 --> 01:27:03,452
Well?

1548
01:27:04,579 --> 01:27:06,069
I found out what the state has.

1549
01:27:06,247 --> 01:27:07,783
Mm-hm. = their Ace in the hole.

1550
01:27:09,167 --> 01:27:10,167
It's you.

1551
01:27:12,462 --> 01:27:13,462
It's me?

1552
01:27:13,838 --> 01:27:17,422
David Marriott taped all his
conversations with you.

1553
01:27:17,759 --> 01:27:18,759
Oh, great.

1554
01:27:20,053 --> 01:27:24,262
The scuttlebutt is, if we win
the case, you go to prison.

1555
01:27:25,683 --> 01:27:26,683
What did I say?

1556
01:27:27,769 --> 01:27:30,922
Good ol' corrupt Rhode Island, I
got a friend to get me an excerpt.

1557
01:27:31,105 --> 01:27:32,705
The reason I'm here,

1558
01:27:33,191 --> 01:27:34,601
my affidavit is inaccurate.

1559
01:27:35,610 --> 01:27:37,942
David, this is bad. It looks bad.

1560
01:27:38,196 --> 01:27:39,436
What, you want more money?

1561
01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:41,720
Can you get more?

1562
01:27:42,450 --> 01:27:43,450
Yeah.

1563
01:27:44,619 --> 01:27:46,530
Hey, that is not what I said.

1564
01:27:46,594 --> 01:27:47,603
It's on tape, Alan.

1565
01:27:47,622 --> 01:27:50,052
I don't care if it's on
tape, it's not what I said.

1566
01:27:50,083 --> 01:27:51,553
What do we do? =I don't know.

1567
01:27:55,774 --> 01:27:58,049
I... I'll tell you what we do.
We ignore it, that's what we...

1568
01:27:58,049 --> 01:28:00,355
Alan, with that tape,
it's your whole career.

1569
01:28:02,971 --> 01:28:05,462
I now believe Claus is innocent. So.

1570
01:28:05,890 --> 01:28:09,223
We've decided, no tricks,
no technicalities.

1571
01:28:09,394 --> 01:28:10,930
We are going to base our appeal

1572
01:28:11,104 --> 01:28:14,517
directly and explicitly
on Claus' innocence.

1573
01:28:14,941 --> 01:28:15,941
That's not proper.

1574
01:28:16,109 --> 01:28:18,350
An appeal has to be based
on judicial error.

1575
01:28:18,421 --> 01:28:20,488
It is. The judge should've
thrown out the case.

1576
01:28:20,488 --> 01:28:22,532
How can you say there was
insufficient evidence

1577
01:28:22,532 --> 01:28:23,812
when a jury convicted him?

1578
01:28:23,812 --> 01:28:26,202
- That's a good point, but...
- But that's what we are saying.

1579
01:28:26,202 --> 01:28:28,409
If the rules don't work, you change them.

1580
01:28:29,205 --> 01:28:31,491
Red Auerbach got the
jump ball rule changed

1581
01:28:31,506 --> 01:28:33,251
when the Celtics had a short team.

1582
01:28:33,251 --> 01:28:35,169
Uh, but it's dangerous politically, Alan.

1583
01:28:35,169 --> 01:28:37,130
If the judges feel insulted,
then we're gonna find...

1584
01:28:37,130 --> 01:28:40,497
Wait up, here. State Supreme Court
shouldn't even look at an appeal

1585
01:28:40,675 --> 01:28:42,095
based on new evidence.

1586
01:28:43,511 --> 01:28:46,628
Hey, guys, I'll take care of that, okay?

1587
01:28:46,973 --> 01:28:48,724
You just... you leave it to me.

1588
01:28:50,226 --> 01:28:51,986
Look, I know you're all exhausted.

1589
01:28:52,228 --> 01:28:54,435
We got four days left.

1590
01:28:54,996 --> 01:28:57,108
What we do now is going
to decide this thing.

1591
01:28:57,108 --> 01:28:58,627
Do you wanna win, or not?

1592
01:28:58,651 --> 01:28:59,731
Alan! = what?

1593
01:28:59,902 --> 01:29:02,174
- We've got something.
- We've hit the jackpot.

1594
01:29:02,905 --> 01:29:05,817
Our needles that had
amobarbital and valium...

1595
01:29:05,992 --> 01:29:06,992
But no insulin...

1596
01:29:07,076 --> 01:29:10,113
Both came back with
false positive readings

1597
01:29:10,330 --> 01:29:11,160
for insulin.

1598
01:29:11,331 --> 01:29:12,537
Okay.

1599
01:29:12,707 --> 01:29:14,368
One was 93, the other 282.

1600
01:29:14,542 --> 01:29:17,204
We've knocked out every piece
of their medical case.

1601
01:29:20,100 --> 01:29:21,090
Good work, good work.

1602
01:29:21,090 --> 01:29:23,923
Okay, now, now all they've
got left is my neck.

1603
01:29:25,053 --> 01:29:27,294
Anybody know anything about
editing audio tapes?

1604
01:29:37,023 --> 01:29:38,854
Defense! For what, defense!

1605
01:29:39,025 --> 01:29:40,105
- Come on! - Come on!

1606
01:29:50,411 --> 01:29:51,411
All right, Alan.

1607
01:29:52,538 --> 01:29:53,818
- Come on! - Hey!

1608
01:29:53,956 --> 01:29:54,956
Hurry up!

1609
01:29:55,583 --> 01:29:57,263
- What's going on? - Pass it, Alan.

1610
01:29:57,752 --> 01:30:00,118
I got it. Wait a minute.
I got it, I got it.

1611
01:30:00,296 --> 01:30:01,816
- Where's raj? - He's upstairs.

1612
01:30:02,173 --> 01:30:03,813
- Where you going? - Alan!

1613
01:30:04,425 --> 01:30:06,882
Raj, raj, I got it.

1614
01:30:07,553 --> 01:30:08,553
I got it.

1615
01:30:08,805 --> 01:30:09,805
Remember Maria?

1616
01:30:10,306 --> 01:30:12,066
She could have said it like this...

1617
01:30:12,225 --> 01:30:13,225
Insulin?

1618
01:30:15,478 --> 01:30:16,968
For what, insulin?

1619
01:30:18,731 --> 01:30:20,813
My lady is not diabetic.

1620
01:30:21,150 --> 01:30:24,313
You see? "My lady is not diabetic.”

1621
01:30:25,071 --> 01:30:27,778
She is assuming that the bag is Sunny's.

1622
01:30:28,324 --> 01:30:30,406
Her first reaction, instantaneous,

1623
01:30:30,576 --> 01:30:32,627
not part of a legal
strategy devised later,

1624
01:30:32,627 --> 01:30:34,247
is that the stuff in the black bag

1625
01:30:34,247 --> 01:30:35,783
belonged to Sunny, not Claus.

1626
01:30:35,957 --> 01:30:37,637
Who's gonna know better than she?

1627
01:30:37,917 --> 01:30:38,917
Start writing.

1628
01:30:40,294 --> 01:30:43,161
You are not god, you are a prosecutor,

1629
01:30:43,339 --> 01:30:45,671
and Alabama cannot execute
those Johnson kids

1630
01:30:45,842 --> 01:30:47,428
before the supreme court rules!

1631
01:30:47,483 --> 01:30:49,345
That... that's right! You heard me right.

1632
01:30:49,345 --> 01:30:51,406
You've got two hours to
get to Rhode Island.

1633
01:30:51,431 --> 01:30:52,432
You're gonna have to speed.

1634
01:30:52,432 --> 01:30:53,558
You want me to commit a crime?

1635
01:30:53,558 --> 01:30:55,101
Of course not! Because if you
do, they're gonna stop you,

1636
01:30:55,101 --> 01:30:56,477
you're not gonna make the deadline.

1637
01:30:56,477 --> 01:30:59,393
I'm telling you right now, buddy,
those kids fry, you're next!

1638
01:30:59,393 --> 01:31:00,440
You forgot your jacket.

1639
01:31:00,440 --> 01:31:01,440
You're damn right!

1640
01:31:02,233 --> 01:31:04,849
Some startling developments
in the von Bülow case.

1641
01:31:05,194 --> 01:31:07,310
Harvard law school
professor Alan Dershowitz

1642
01:31:07,405 --> 01:31:09,942
had been accused of paying
for falsified testimony,

1643
01:31:10,491 --> 01:31:12,657
but those accusations
were discredited today

1644
01:31:12,702 --> 01:31:14,482
by the Rhode Island Attorney General,

1645
01:31:14,495 --> 01:31:17,232
who announced that David
Marriott's tape was doctored

1646
01:31:17,373 --> 01:31:19,910
and that Marriott is not
a reliable witness.

1647
01:31:20,460 --> 01:31:21,860
So, what was he up to, Alan?

1648
01:31:22,378 --> 01:31:23,584
Who was he working for?

1649
01:31:24,046 --> 01:31:25,046
Damned if I know.

1650
01:31:29,260 --> 01:31:31,370
Hope they don't think
he was working for you.

1651
01:31:31,381 --> 01:31:32,513
Alan, no one's going to think...

1652
01:31:32,513 --> 01:31:34,549
Look, I don't think you did it, okay?

1653
01:31:35,725 --> 01:31:37,291
But at the Chinese restaurant,

1654
01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:39,196
you did duck the big question.

1655
01:31:39,270 --> 01:31:41,056
Chuck is our Alexandra isles expert.

1656
01:31:43,149 --> 01:31:44,685
Sunny's aspirin overdose...

1657
01:31:49,405 --> 01:31:51,862
What happened? Sunny had a headache?

1658
01:31:54,869 --> 01:31:58,612
Headache... was Alexandra, right?

1659
01:32:03,336 --> 01:32:04,336
Let's hear it, Claus.

1660
01:32:07,173 --> 01:32:08,834
Alexandra was spiteful.

1661
01:32:10,593 --> 01:32:14,836
On the day of Sunny's aspirin overdose,

1662
01:32:15,932 --> 01:32:18,765
she returned some presents I'd given her,

1663
01:32:18,935 --> 01:32:20,675
some photographs...

1664
01:32:21,521 --> 01:32:22,521
Love letters.

1665
01:32:24,440 --> 01:32:26,726
She dropped them off in a shopping bag.

1666
01:32:27,902 --> 01:32:28,902
Did Sunny see them?

1667
01:32:30,112 --> 01:32:31,147
Sunny was home.

1668
01:32:32,406 --> 01:32:33,406
I was not.

1669
01:32:34,951 --> 01:32:38,944
Alexandra neglected to
address the package to me.

1670
01:32:39,664 --> 01:32:42,776
I want to be left alone with all those beau...
beautiful letters.

1671
01:32:43,251 --> 01:32:46,581
What did you do with those letters?
Why did you write those letters?

1672
01:32:48,756 --> 01:32:51,839
There's a big difference between
knowing about an affair

1673
01:32:52,760 --> 01:32:55,672
and having love letters
crammed down your throat.

1674
01:32:57,932 --> 01:33:00,302
It seems that Sunny did
care about your affair.

1675
01:33:00,893 --> 01:33:01,893
She cared a lot.

1676
01:33:05,731 --> 01:33:07,131
Why didn't you tell us?

1677
01:33:08,609 --> 01:33:10,194
Everything was open book.

1678
01:33:11,654 --> 01:33:13,315
"Get the best experts.

1679
01:33:13,698 --> 01:33:15,383
I'm not afraid of the truth.”

1680
01:33:20,371 --> 01:33:23,659
Looks to me like Alexandra tried
to force Sunny into a suicide.

1681
01:33:26,502 --> 01:33:27,992
Or they plotted it together.

1682
01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:31,960
Either way, he's protecting Alexandra,

1683
01:33:32,231 --> 01:33:33,968
because he's still in love with her.

1684
01:33:33,968 --> 01:33:34,968
And why not?

1685
01:33:35,428 --> 01:33:36,768
I mean, hey, she's a babe.

1686
01:33:39,348 --> 01:33:40,713
"Course I still love her.

1687
01:33:43,728 --> 01:33:44,728
And hate her.

1688
01:33:47,189 --> 01:33:51,102
Alexandra, Sunny, Andrea...

1689
01:33:54,363 --> 01:33:55,398
I love them all.

1690
01:34:03,664 --> 01:34:06,371
Being a human being is very literal.

1691
01:34:06,917 --> 01:34:07,917
You're trapped.

1692
01:34:08,294 --> 01:34:10,501
Time moves in only one direction,

1693
01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:11,880
forward.

1694
01:34:12,048 --> 01:34:13,879
It's stupid and boring

1695
01:34:14,050 --> 01:34:15,790
and results in a lot of silliness.

1696
01:34:16,135 --> 01:34:18,751
Example, the legal process.

1697
01:34:20,556 --> 01:34:22,046
In this particular case,

1698
01:34:22,224 --> 01:34:25,887
a vast amount of time,
effort, and money was spent

1699
01:34:26,062 --> 01:34:28,394
trying to determine
precisely what happened

1700
01:34:28,564 --> 01:34:30,976
on those two nights so close to Christmas,

1701
01:34:31,317 --> 01:34:36,482
December 26th, 1979, December 20th, 1980.

1702
01:34:38,157 --> 01:34:39,317
Happened right here.

1703
01:34:41,243 --> 01:34:44,326
Even now it all looks the same,

1704
01:34:45,081 --> 01:34:48,414
feels the same, smells the same.

1705
01:34:49,502 --> 01:34:52,915
If you could just go back
in time and take a peek,

1706
01:34:53,506 --> 01:34:54,506
you'd know,

1707
01:34:56,384 --> 01:34:58,500
and all this would be unnecessary.

1708
01:34:58,886 --> 01:34:59,886
All rise!

1709
01:35:04,141 --> 01:35:05,426
Hear ye, hear ye!

1710
01:35:05,601 --> 01:35:08,217
All persons having business
before the supreme court

1711
01:35:08,396 --> 01:35:11,383
holding in Providence within and
for the state of Rhode Island

1712
01:35:11,440 --> 01:35:12,555
may now draw near...

1713
01:35:13,567 --> 01:35:14,567
Then again,

1714
01:35:15,569 --> 01:35:17,480
everyone enjoys a circus.

1715
01:35:18,906 --> 01:35:19,906
Be seated.

1716
01:35:22,785 --> 01:35:25,056
If the appellant is
ready, you may proceed.

1717
01:35:26,879 --> 01:35:27,957
If it please the court,

1718
01:35:27,957 --> 01:35:30,664
oral argument will be made
by out-of-state counsel,

1719
01:35:30,835 --> 01:35:32,826
professor Alan Dershowitz.

1720
01:35:42,638 --> 01:35:43,638
Your honors,

1721
01:35:44,140 --> 01:35:46,472
you may not like Claus von Bülow.

1722
01:35:47,309 --> 01:35:49,220
You may think he is guilty of something,

1723
01:35:49,395 --> 01:35:51,807
but I am here to tell you he is innocent.

1724
01:35:52,615 --> 01:35:53,899
Our new evidence will clear...

1725
01:35:53,899 --> 01:35:57,767
Professor, you know there isn't
a single case which allows you

1726
01:35:57,945 --> 01:36:00,357
to introduce new evidence on appeal.

1727
01:36:00,656 --> 01:36:02,396
Well, there is one, your honor,

1728
01:36:03,242 --> 01:36:05,654
and you wrote it. Derek.

1729
01:36:07,246 --> 01:36:08,246
In Derek...

1730
01:36:08,998 --> 01:36:10,863
In Derek, you yourself said

1731
01:36:11,333 --> 01:36:15,167
that a case based on circumstantial
theory rather than fact

1732
01:36:15,588 --> 01:36:16,623
only stands up

1733
01:36:16,797 --> 01:36:19,163
if no other theory makes sense.

1734
01:36:19,592 --> 01:36:22,208
The only way to show a better theory

1735
01:36:22,386 --> 01:36:23,386
is to present it.

1736
01:36:29,518 --> 01:36:31,099
Get on with it, counselor.

1737
01:36:36,564 --> 01:36:38,110
I hope you will have the courage

1738
01:36:38,110 --> 01:36:39,691
to free an innocent man

1739
01:36:39,862 --> 01:36:41,853
and remedy a grave injustice.

1740
01:36:42,448 --> 01:36:43,608
This will never work.

1741
01:36:44,200 --> 01:36:45,565
Too smart for his own good.

1742
01:36:46,660 --> 01:36:48,116
Alan says it will work,

1743
01:36:49,205 --> 01:36:51,321
if the prosecutor takes the bait.

1744
01:36:52,333 --> 01:36:53,703
What do you mean, "bait"?

1745
01:36:54,919 --> 01:36:56,329
Argues the evidence.

1746
01:36:57,546 --> 01:36:58,365
Your honors,

1747
01:36:58,380 --> 01:37:01,042
introduction of new evidence on appeal

1748
01:37:02,510 --> 01:37:05,752
violates every principle of jurisprudence,

1749
01:37:06,180 --> 01:37:07,420
every statute,

1750
01:37:08,182 --> 01:37:10,673
every precedent, every rule of ethics.

1751
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:12,728
Ah, he's nailing us right off the bat.

1752
01:37:12,728 --> 01:37:14,514
I am not going to stand before you

1753
01:37:14,688 --> 01:37:16,929
and argue Mr. von Bülow's guilt.

1754
01:37:19,777 --> 01:37:20,777
However,

1755
01:37:21,195 --> 01:37:24,187
I have no choice but to address Mr.
Dershowitz' arguments

1756
01:37:24,365 --> 01:37:25,365
one by one.

1757
01:37:26,784 --> 01:37:27,784
- Bingo. - First,

1758
01:37:28,994 --> 01:37:30,844
the matter of the encrusted needle...

1759
01:37:32,164 --> 01:37:34,780
So? Now it's up to the judges.

1760
01:37:35,393 --> 01:37:36,877
Tell me what you really think.

1761
01:37:36,877 --> 01:37:39,289
I think it's easier to love somebody

1762
01:37:39,463 --> 01:37:40,623
than to live with them.

1763
01:37:42,716 --> 01:37:44,206
Love is fantasy.

1764
01:37:44,593 --> 01:37:46,129
Living is work.

1765
01:37:46,387 --> 01:37:49,299
I'll say. And those people
don't like to work.

1766
01:37:49,807 --> 01:37:52,219
But, if you don't do the
work, the love dies,

1767
01:37:52,560 --> 01:37:54,596
and nobody wants to deal with that one.

1768
01:37:54,895 --> 01:37:56,335
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

1769
01:37:56,981 --> 01:37:57,981
The love died,

1770
01:37:58,732 --> 01:38:00,382
Sunny couldn't accept it...

1771
01:38:01,402 --> 01:38:03,063
So Claus tried to kill her?

1772
01:38:03,237 --> 01:38:04,237
Maybe.

1773
01:38:04,572 --> 01:38:05,572
I don't agree.

1774
01:38:06,574 --> 01:38:09,737
Face it, all we had to do was prove
the state made a lousy case.

1775
01:38:09,990 --> 01:38:11,990
We didn't prove that Claus was innocent.

1776
01:38:11,996 --> 01:38:14,415
We couldn't. We didn't have
to, and he probably isn't.

1777
01:38:14,415 --> 01:38:15,499
He isn't? You mean, you thi...

1778
01:38:15,499 --> 01:38:17,879
I mean, so, he didn't
inject Sunny with insulin.

1779
01:38:18,127 --> 01:38:20,743
So what? Break it down.
First coma, no problem.

1780
01:38:20,921 --> 01:38:24,004
Even the attending doctor thought
it was caused by hypoglycemia,

1781
01:38:24,024 --> 01:38:25,843
loss of air to the brain, and so on.

1782
01:38:25,843 --> 01:38:28,175
All right. But what about the second coma?

1783
01:38:28,345 --> 01:38:30,506
I mean, why does Claus act so guilty?

1784
01:38:30,681 --> 01:38:33,989
Hey, come on, wouldn't any man feel
guilty if his wife was suicidal?

1785
01:38:34,351 --> 01:38:37,514
Yeah, so, so maybe she
took the sleeping pills

1786
01:38:37,688 --> 01:38:39,543
with the intention of killing herself,

1787
01:38:40,024 --> 01:38:44,267
but how did she end up lying on a
marble floor in a freezing bathroom

1788
01:38:44,445 --> 01:38:46,315
with her head under the toilet bowl?

1789
01:38:46,447 --> 01:38:47,447
How about this?

1790
01:39:35,871 --> 01:39:37,452
Sunny wakes up miserable.

1791
01:39:43,128 --> 01:39:44,584
Second marriage is over.

1792
01:39:44,755 --> 01:39:46,245
Children are leaving home.

1793
01:39:47,341 --> 01:39:48,341
What's to live for?

1794
01:42:01,767 --> 01:42:03,257
But when she was found,

1795
01:42:03,435 --> 01:42:05,311
her nightgown was hiked over her waist.

1796
01:42:05,312 --> 01:42:07,724
Exactly. How did it get there?

1797
01:42:09,399 --> 01:42:11,619
Okay, let's say she's
standing at the sink.

1798
01:42:11,902 --> 01:42:12,902
She has to pee.

1799
01:42:13,403 --> 01:42:14,813
At exactly the same instant,

1800
01:42:15,280 --> 01:42:16,280
the drugs hit.

1801
01:42:16,949 --> 01:42:17,984
Body convulses.

1802
01:42:18,408 --> 01:42:19,989
She grabs the nightgown.

1803
01:42:24,915 --> 01:42:25,745
I don't buy that.

1804
01:42:25,916 --> 01:42:27,702
It does seem far-fetched.

1805
01:42:28,377 --> 01:42:29,583
So's the truth sometimes.

1806
01:42:29,753 --> 01:42:32,810
Oh, bull. I think she took the
barbiturates the previous night.

1807
01:42:32,881 --> 01:42:35,418
And, let's say he saw her take them,

1808
01:42:36,176 --> 01:42:39,589
or she told him she was going
to before they fell asleep.

1809
01:42:48,188 --> 01:42:51,146
This time, he wants her to succeed.

1810
01:43:01,368 --> 01:43:02,368
Sunny?

1811
01:43:29,730 --> 01:43:32,200
Maybe there's some way
he can help her along.

1812
01:43:33,192 --> 01:43:36,309
Of course, the open window.

1813
01:43:37,321 --> 01:43:38,811
Zero degrees.

1814
01:43:40,324 --> 01:43:41,985
But somebody might see her there.

1815
01:43:43,243 --> 01:43:46,451
The action of dragging her would
naturally pull up the nightgown.

1816
01:44:16,902 --> 01:44:19,735
In this cold, how long could she survive?

1817
01:44:40,467 --> 01:44:41,798
Remember what Sunny said?

1818
01:44:43,136 --> 01:44:44,857
"I would have been better off.

1819
01:44:45,973 --> 01:44:47,648
You would have been better off.”

1820
01:44:52,354 --> 01:44:54,845
Because the law is a blunt instrument.

1821
01:44:55,023 --> 01:44:57,685
It is not a rapier. It is a cudgel.

1822
01:44:58,986 --> 01:45:00,726
Tomorrow, death penalty,

1823
01:45:01,245 --> 01:45:03,156
which reminds me of the comedian who said,

1824
01:45:03,156 --> 01:45:05,450
"ll don't know why they
call it the death penalty.

1825
01:45:05,450 --> 01:45:07,611
That's no penalty.
You're out of the game!"

1826
01:45:16,795 --> 01:45:18,160
- Good news. - Great news.

1827
01:45:18,505 --> 01:45:19,465
And more good news.

1828
01:45:19,506 --> 01:45:20,676
The decision came down?

1829
01:45:20,709 --> 01:45:21,842
They just announced it.

1830
01:45:21,842 --> 01:45:22,592
Five-zip.

1831
01:45:22,592 --> 01:45:23,592
We murdered them.

1832
01:45:24,553 --> 01:45:25,553
Grounds?

1833
01:45:25,553 --> 01:45:27,055
Well, they got the Brillhoffer notes.

1834
01:45:27,055 --> 01:45:28,974
And that silly, silly
guilty man's argument,

1835
01:45:28,974 --> 01:45:29,975
search and seizure.

1836
01:45:29,975 --> 01:45:31,059
Federal or state? = both.

1837
01:45:31,059 --> 01:45:33,603
- That's important.
- Yeah, it's federal, they could appeal it

1838
01:45:33,603 --> 01:45:34,479
in the us supreme court.

1839
01:45:34,479 --> 01:45:36,899
But because it's Rhode
Island, they can't. We win.

1840
01:45:37,733 --> 01:45:40,444
Don"t... don't get too excited
until we see Brillhoffer's notes.

1841
01:45:40,444 --> 01:45:42,150
We destroyed their medical case,

1842
01:45:42,154 --> 01:45:44,281
but their witnesses still
carry emotional weight

1843
01:45:44,281 --> 01:45:45,591
if there's a second trial.

1844
01:45:45,741 --> 01:45:46,741
Unless...

1845
01:45:47,534 --> 01:45:50,594
The Brillhoffer notes show that
they've changed their stories.

1846
01:45:51,330 --> 01:45:52,330
Good afternoon, sir.

1847
01:45:54,958 --> 01:45:56,268
Let me get that for you.

1848
01:45:56,793 --> 01:45:57,793
Thank you.

1849
01:46:11,475 --> 01:46:12,915
You have Brillhoffer's notes?

1850
01:46:13,268 --> 01:46:14,268
Yes.

1851
01:46:14,353 --> 01:46:15,353
Well?

1852
01:46:15,353 --> 01:46:16,605
They're not what we hoped.

1853
01:46:16,605 --> 01:46:17,605
I knew it.

1854
01:46:20,901 --> 01:46:21,901
They're much better.

1855
01:46:24,446 --> 01:46:27,779
No one mentioned seeing insulin when
they first talked to Brillhoffer.

1856
01:46:28,033 --> 01:46:30,524
Plus... Maria told them

1857
01:46:30,782 --> 01:46:32,954
that at Thanksgiving, when
she supposedly saw insulin

1858
01:46:32,954 --> 01:46:33,830
for the first time,

1859
01:46:33,830 --> 01:46:35,207
she couldn't even read any of the labels.

1860
01:46:35,207 --> 01:46:36,597
They were all scraped off.

1861
01:46:37,918 --> 01:46:38,918
What does this mean?

1862
01:46:39,002 --> 01:46:40,002
It means

1863
01:46:40,302 --> 01:46:41,713
that if there is a second trial,

1864
01:46:41,713 --> 01:46:43,213
we can be reasonably confident

1865
01:46:43,882 --> 01:46:45,838
both the medical case and their witnesses

1866
01:46:46,009 --> 01:46:47,340
are now highly suspect.

1867
01:46:47,511 --> 01:46:49,672
Oh, god.

1868
01:46:52,307 --> 01:46:53,307
So...

1869
01:47:10,033 --> 01:47:11,033
Darling...

1870
01:47:11,910 --> 01:47:13,446
This is Alan Dershowitz.

1871
01:47:13,829 --> 01:47:14,944
Yes, I know. Hello.

1872
01:47:15,789 --> 01:47:16,824
Alan tells me...

1873
01:47:17,374 --> 01:47:19,615
Well, things look very hopeful.

1874
01:47:21,336 --> 01:47:23,016
I knew it would come out all right.

1875
01:47:23,255 --> 01:47:24,255
Thank you.

1876
01:47:28,218 --> 01:47:29,458
Yes, Alan, thank you.

1877
01:47:29,636 --> 01:47:31,046
I am eternally grateful.

1878
01:47:31,221 --> 01:47:33,532
Hey, this means we'll be
getting back your bail,

1879
01:47:33,557 --> 01:47:34,672
a million dollars.

1880
01:47:35,392 --> 01:47:37,223
Uh, I know I still owe you, Alan.

1881
01:47:39,187 --> 01:47:40,802
Please send me your bill.

1882
01:47:42,190 --> 01:47:44,146
And maybe when you're in New York,

1883
01:47:44,317 --> 01:47:45,317
uh, we can...

1884
01:47:46,570 --> 01:47:48,401
We can meet for lunch. I'd enjoy that.

1885
01:47:49,573 --> 01:47:50,573
One thing, Claus...

1886
01:47:51,366 --> 01:47:53,556
Legally, this was an important victory.

1887
01:47:54,035 --> 01:47:55,696
Morally, you're on your own.

1888
01:48:08,758 --> 01:48:11,716
Claus von Bülow was given a second trial

1889
01:48:12,053 --> 01:48:14,044
and acquitted on both counts.

1890
01:48:16,391 --> 01:48:18,052
This is all you can know...

1891
01:48:19,811 --> 01:48:21,267
All you can be told.

1892
01:48:22,606 --> 01:48:24,142
When you get where I am,

1893
01:48:25,317 --> 01:48:26,927
you will know the rest.

1894
01:48:59,851 --> 01:49:01,307
Two packs of vantage, please.

1895
01:49:09,945 --> 01:49:10,945
Anything else?

1896
01:49:12,531 --> 01:49:13,941
Yes, a vial of insulin.

1897
01:49:21,414 --> 01:49:22,414
Just kidding.
