0:03:43.166,0:03:45.703
This was my body.

0:03:55.762,0:03:59.346
On December 27, 1979,

0:03:59.682,0:04:01.513
I lay in bed all day.

0:04:02.268,0:04:05.431
Whether I was asleep or in a coma

0:04:06.022,0:04:08.479
later became a subject of dispute.

0:04:11.945,0:04:14.027
When my breathing became obstructed...

0:04:14.364,0:04:15.364
Maria!

0:04:15.573,0:04:18.360
My husband, Claus von Bülow,

0:04:19.035,0:04:22.243
finally did as my maid[br]had been urging all day.

0:04:23.248,0:04:24.843
He summoned a physician.

0:04:25.291,0:04:26.291
Dr. Paultees.

0:04:26.668,0:04:27.999
I stopped breathing.

0:04:29.087,0:04:30.497
My heart stopped beating.

0:04:31.505,0:04:34.338
By this time, I was[br]certainly in a deep coma

0:04:35.176,0:04:37.918
from which I awoke several hours later.

0:04:38.888,0:04:41.971
By the next morning, I was myself again.

0:04:42.141,0:04:43.881
There's no reason for all this fuss.

0:04:45.186,0:04:47.552
I've never felt better in my whole life.

0:04:47.814,0:04:50.977
This first coma aroused suspicion and fear

0:04:51.150,0:04:53.732
in the minds of my personal maid, Maria,

0:04:54.445,0:04:55.730
my son, Alex,

0:04:56.072,0:04:57.733
and my elder daughter, Ala.

0:04:58.574,0:04:59.734
From this time on,

0:05:00.159,0:05:02.445
though they never voiced[br]their suspicions to me,

0:05:03.121,0:05:06.033
they kept a vigilant eye on Claus.

0:05:07.125,0:05:10.117
A year later, just before Christmas,

0:05:10.628,0:05:13.461
their darkest fears seemed justified.

0:05:13.715,0:05:15.225
Has mummy had breakfast yet?

0:05:15.466,0:05:16.816
No, we haven't seen her.

0:05:33.109,0:05:35.316
My husband did not want[br]our daughter, Cosima,

0:05:35.486,0:05:37.067
to see what he had found,

0:05:37.322,0:05:39.859
so he motioned to his stepson Alex.

0:05:54.464,0:05:55.579
Second coma.

0:05:55.757,0:05:58.089
- Oh, no. - My pulse was 38,

0:05:58.468,0:06:02.052
my temperature, 81.6 degrees.

0:06:04.849,0:06:06.134
Did you call an ambulance?

0:06:09.062,0:06:11.598
Nicholas, would you ask Robert[br]to open the main gates?

0:06:11.598,0:06:12.815
We're expecting an ambulance.

0:06:12.815,0:06:13.815
Mrs. von Bülow...

0:06:13.983,0:06:15.939
Ma'am, send an ambulance immediately.

0:06:16.110,0:06:17.710
= it's on Belleview Avenue.

0:06:17.972,0:06:20.112
- Look, bring her something warm.[br]- Thank you.

0:06:20.114,0:06:22.158
Uh, or... or blankets or[br]anything you can find.

0:06:22.158,0:06:24.740
All this activity was pointless.

0:06:27.121,0:06:28.281
We better do an eeg.

0:06:28.456,0:06:30.196
I never woke from this coma,

0:06:31.125,0:06:32.205
ahd I never will.

0:06:34.087,0:06:36.954
I am what doctors call[br]persistent vegetative,

0:06:37.632,0:06:38.632
a vegetable.

0:06:40.927,0:06:42.463
According to medical experts,

0:06:42.637,0:06:45.629
I could stay like this[br]for a very long time,

0:06:46.349,0:06:49.591
brain-dead, body better than ever.

0:06:51.604,0:06:53.686
Enter Robert Brillhoffer,

0:06:54.524,0:06:56.640
former Manhattan district attorney.

0:06:57.443,0:06:59.650
My two children from my first marriage,

0:06:59.821,0:07:01.812
Alex and Ala von auersberg,

0:07:02.323,0:07:05.565
hired Brillhoffer to investigate the case.

0:07:07.453,0:07:10.866
He put a "do not resuscitate”[br]order on her hospital chart.

0:07:11.124,0:07:13.706
They sent Alex and a private investigator

0:07:14.043,0:07:16.705
back to my Newport cottage,[br]Clarendon Court,

0:07:17.463,0:07:19.249
to search for drugs.

0:07:22.176,0:07:23.666
They found plenty

0:07:24.178,0:07:25.839
in Claus' closet.

0:07:26.597,0:07:27.677
On top of that,

0:07:28.015,0:07:29.346
the hospital lab reported

0:07:29.517,0:07:31.508
that my blood insulin on admission

0:07:31.686,0:07:33.768
was 14 times normal,

0:07:34.730,0:07:38.097
a level almost surely caused by injection.

0:07:39.277,0:07:42.690
Insulin injection could[br]readily cause coma...

0:07:44.031,0:07:45.031
Or death.

0:07:47.452,0:07:50.785
This encrusted needle tested[br]positive for insulin.

0:07:52.957,0:07:54.788
Alex couldn't wait to get back...

0:07:54.788,0:07:55.793
Let's get out of here.

0:07:55.793,0:07:56.953
And show Brillhoffer.

0:07:58.296,0:08:00.441
Now they felt they had the murder weapon.

0:08:00.840,0:08:03.081
All they lacked was the motive.

0:08:03.926,0:08:04.756
At that moment,

0:08:04.927,0:08:07.168
my husband was vacationing[br]with his mistress,

0:08:07.597,0:08:12.387
the very beautiful soap opera[br]actress, Alexandra Isles.

0:08:12.685,0:08:13.390
Oh, god.

0:08:13.561,0:08:15.802
Mrs. Isles, a divorcée,

0:08:16.397,0:08:18.058
was the daughter of an old friend,

0:08:18.232,0:08:19.438
count Billy Botsky.

0:08:23.362,0:08:26.320
Brillhoffer also discovered[br]that, at my death,

0:08:26.657,0:08:30.491
Claus, whose own net worth[br]was only a million dollars,

0:08:30.828,0:08:33.911
stood to inherit 14 million from me.

0:08:34.916,0:08:36.998
Alexandra later testified

0:08:37.668,0:08:41.377
that Claus showed her a[br]legal analysis of my will.

0:08:43.090,0:08:47.880
On the evidence collected by Alex,[br]Ala, and their lawyer, Brillhoffer,

0:08:48.386,0:08:50.502
my husband was accused of twice trying

0:08:50.681,0:08:53.218
to murder me with injections of insulin.

0:08:54.101,0:08:56.888
On March 16, 1982,

0:08:57.395,0:08:59.761
he was found guilty on both counts.

0:08:59.941,0:09:02.933
Charged the defendant committed[br]on December 27th, 1979...

0:09:03.110,0:09:06.602
Even Alexandra isles[br]testified against him.

0:09:06.781,0:09:07.640
How do you find?

0:09:07.782,0:09:08.616
Guilty.

0:09:08.616,0:09:09.968
As to count two,

0:09:09.992,0:09:13.075
charge the defendant committed[br]on December 21, 1980,

0:09:13.454,0:09:15.615
the crime of assault[br]with intent to murder,

0:09:15.873,0:09:16.666
how do you find?

0:09:16.666,0:09:17.476
Guilty.

0:09:17.542,0:09:21.376
You are about to see how Claus[br]von Bülow sought to reverse...

0:09:22.004,0:09:24.791
Or escape from that jury's verdict.

0:09:26.425,0:09:27.585
You tell me.

0:09:34.350,0:09:35.385
And two!

0:09:35.923,0:09:37.311
Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!

0:09:37.311,0:09:38.271
Taking you downtown!

0:09:38.271,0:09:39.271
Air dersh!

0:09:41.065,0:09:42.646
Take it in! Take it in! Foul!

0:09:43.150,0:09:46.233
Okay. Here I go. Here I go![br]Watch the hands!

0:09:46.404,0:09:47.404
Watch the hands!

0:09:53.703,0:09:54.703
Yeah, hello.

0:09:56.163,0:09:57.163
What?

0:10:00.293,0:10:01.908
Oh, shit. Ju... bottom line.

0:10:03.588,0:10:04.588
Oh, shit!

0:10:26.027,0:10:27.027
Hi.

0:10:33.784,0:10:34.784
Let's try that again.

0:10:34.869,0:10:36.279
Hi, dad. Remember Maggie?

0:10:38.247,0:10:39.532
Hi, Maggie. Hello.

0:10:42.585,0:10:45.327
They're going to fry.[br]The Johnson brothers.

0:10:46.005,0:10:47.005
What?

0:10:48.507,0:10:49.507
But...

0:10:51.010,0:10:53.296
Two black kids broke their[br]father out of prison.

0:10:53.804,0:10:55.135
The father shot two people,

0:10:55.156,0:10:56.974
and the sons are convicted of murder.

0:10:56.974,0:10:58.930
A lawyer prays for an innocent client.

0:10:59.226,0:11:01.387
Finally, finally, I get two.

0:11:01.486,0:11:02.855
Both of them are going to get zapped.

0:11:02.855,0:11:03.855
No more appeals?

0:11:03.898,0:11:05.968
Supreme court, but this was the best shot.

0:11:07.610,0:11:08.610
Mmm!

0:11:09.236,0:11:09.975
It's the press.

0:11:10.154,0:11:12.184
You don't want to talk to the press?

0:11:13.949,0:11:15.610
Dershowitz psychiatric institute.

0:11:17.912,0:11:19.272
Yeah, hang on a second.

0:11:19.747,0:11:20.747
Claus von Bülow.

0:11:22.416,0:11:23.416
It's a reporter.

0:11:23.834,0:11:25.414
With an English accent?

0:11:28.005,0:11:30.963
If I can't save two innocent[br]kids, what's the point?

0:11:30.963,0:11:34.173
- I might as well hang it up. - Yeah.[br]One second, one second, sorry.

0:11:34.178,0:11:36.089
He really seems to think he's von Bülow.

0:11:36.389,0:11:37.939
Hello. This is Alan Dershowitz.

0:11:37.973,0:11:39.473
Who are you? What do you want?

0:11:43.813,0:11:44.933
It's von Bülow.

0:11:45.690,0:11:46.690
Back in business.

0:11:53.864,0:11:54.966
Can I help you, sir?

0:11:54.990,0:11:55.809
Claus von Bülow.

0:11:55.825,0:11:57.745
Elevator's to the left, go right ahead.

0:12:05.209,0:12:06.209
Holy shit.

0:12:14.552,0:12:15.552
Hello?

0:12:22.268,0:12:23.383
Hello?

0:12:24.478,0:12:27.595
Professor Dershowitz, hello, hello.

0:12:28.441,0:12:29.851
How good of you to come.

0:12:30.693,0:12:31.693
Pleasure.

0:12:31.944,0:12:32.944
Won't you sit down?

0:12:40.995,0:12:41.995
Do you play?

0:12:42.163,0:12:43.198
That? No.

0:12:44.915,0:12:47.025
Most people think it's a game of luck.

0:12:47.668,0:12:50.080
Actually, it's largely a matter of nerve.

0:12:54.425,0:12:57.337
Um... nothing, thank you, Charles.

0:12:58.471,0:13:01.634
Why don't we go to Delmonico's[br]and have a proper lunch?

0:13:02.475,0:13:03.475
Whatever.

0:13:07.922,0:13:10.308
I should tell you that I[br]have the greatest respect

0:13:10.316,0:13:13.023
for the intelligence and[br]integrity of the Jewish people.

0:13:17.114,0:13:18.114
When I married Sunny,

0:13:18.240,0:13:20.572
she was the most beautiful[br]divorcée in the world

0:13:20.910,0:13:22.275
and one of the wealthiest.

0:13:22.912,0:13:25.949
Even so, we never got this table.

0:13:26.373,0:13:27.373
Professor Dershowitz.

0:13:31.170,0:13:32.170
Dr. von Bülow.

0:13:33.464,0:13:35.911
Two injections of insulin,[br]already I'm a doctor.

0:13:36.592,0:13:39.629
No, in America, it's[br]fame rather than class.

0:13:40.095,0:13:43.383
Now, after all this unpleasantness,

0:13:43.557,0:13:46.299
I always get the best table and...

0:13:47.186,0:13:48.832
Speaking of the unpleasantness...

0:13:48.896,0:13:51.228
Oh, yes, I suppose we[br]better discuss your fee.

0:13:53.275,0:13:54.275
Okay.

0:13:55.319,0:13:56.749
It's 300 dollars an hour.

0:13:57.154,0:13:58.154
Good Lord!

0:13:59.657,0:14:01.808
You know, I used to be a lawyer in London.

0:14:02.076,0:14:03.407
That sounds a bit steep.

0:14:03.661,0:14:05.291
It's average for a case like this.

0:14:05.329,0:14:07.374
Besides, I do a lot of pro bono work.

0:14:07.748,0:14:08.998
You would pay for that.

0:14:09.165,0:14:11.210
Plus, I have to pay[br]students, associates...

0:14:11.210,0:14:14.327
Are you saying if I agree to pay 300,

0:14:15.256,0:14:16.666
you will handle my appeal?

0:14:16.841,0:14:17.841
No, not so far.

0:14:18.008,0:14:19.948
It doesn't look like my kind of case.

0:14:21.637,0:14:22.797
I'm not a hired gun.

0:14:23.426,0:14:26.267
I got to feel there's some moral[br]or constitutional issue at stake.

0:14:26.267,0:14:28.303
But I'm absolutely innocent,

0:14:28.978,0:14:31.811
and my civil liberties have[br]been egregiously violated.

0:14:32.898,0:14:35.235
I've got two black kids[br]facing the electric chair

0:14:35.276,0:14:36.891
for a crime they did not commit.

0:14:38.153,0:14:39.313
They are innocent.

0:14:41.657,0:14:43.989
Well, before you assume I'm guilty,

0:14:44.785,0:14:46.120
won't you hear my story?

0:14:46.203,0:14:48.285
Nope. Never let defendants explain.

0:14:48.455,0:14:50.525
Puts most of them in an awkward position.

0:14:51.375,0:14:52.375
How do you mean?

0:14:53.043,0:14:54.043
Lying.

0:14:55.963,0:14:58.454
But I give you my word as a gentleman.

0:14:59.466,0:15:00.797
Oh... well...

0:15:06.307,0:15:09.595
Well, won't you at least[br]read the record and

0:15:10.060,0:15:13.848
see if you can find something... well...

0:15:14.273,0:15:15.308
Constitutional?

0:15:18.527,0:15:20.438
You do have one thing in your favor.

0:15:23.032,0:15:24.112
Everybody hates you.

0:15:30.664,0:15:31.744
Well, that's a start.

0:15:33.125,0:15:34.125
Come on, Maxwell!

0:15:34.209,0:15:35.209
Get up! Come on, Max!

0:15:36.128,0:15:37.528
He was hit! He... = oh! Hit!

0:15:37.546,0:15:38.546
Yes!

0:15:41.884,0:15:42.884
So what do you think?

0:15:43.218,0:15:44.549
Oh, he did it. He did it.

0:15:44.720,0:15:46.381
Of course he did it. Can we win?

0:15:47.139,0:15:48.349
Hundred to one against.

0:15:48.390,0:15:50.722
The maid. The maid shmeared[br]him on both comas.

0:15:50.893,0:15:53.179
Look at it. At this. It says here...

0:15:53.520,0:15:55.498
After you realized that Mrs. von Bülow

0:15:55.522,0:15:57.888
had not gotten up, what did you do?

0:15:58.067,0:15:59.398
I came downstairs,

0:16:00.402,0:16:02.814
and Mr. von Bülow said that madame

0:16:02.988,0:16:04.478
had a very sore throat,

0:16:04.990,0:16:06.651
and I didn't have to do any work,

0:16:07.493,0:16:09.404
and she was in bed all day.

0:16:21.382,0:16:22.662
What are you doing?

0:16:32.685,0:16:34.300
She's ice cold.

0:16:35.354,0:16:37.595
Madame! Mrs. von Bülow!

0:16:37.773,0:16:38.773
Leave her alone.

0:16:39.483,0:16:40.483
She's sleeping.

0:16:41.448,0:16:42.820
She was drinking last night.

0:16:42.820,0:16:44.030
We didn't get any rest.

0:16:44.071,0:16:45.607
She's not sleeping.

0:16:47.241,0:16:48.902
She's unconscious.

0:16:49.994,0:16:52.155
You must call a doctor. = Maria.

0:16:54.957,0:16:55.957
Go on!

0:17:06.010,0:17:08.342
A half hour later, she had not moved.

0:17:08.929,0:17:11.215
I went back and forth all morning.

0:17:11.974,0:17:13.660
Strain over the last several days.

0:17:13.684,0:17:15.220
Finally, mid-afternoon,

0:17:15.394,0:17:18.136
Mr. von Bülow spoke to Dr. Paultees,

0:17:18.897,0:17:20.558
but he lied to doctor.

0:17:21.280,0:17:22.440
Yes, she's sleeping now,

0:17:22.440,0:17:24.737
but she was up earlier this[br]morning to the bathroom

0:17:24.737,0:17:25.737
and had a soft drink.

0:17:25.904,0:17:28.060
So I don't think there's[br]any cause for alarm.

0:17:28.156,0:17:29.771
But she never moved,

0:17:30.242,0:17:31.322
never got up.

0:17:32.202,0:17:35.160
She was lying in the[br]same position all day.

0:17:36.540,0:17:38.076
Later, her heart stops,

0:17:38.250,0:17:40.491
and Dr. Paultees, he comes and saves her.

0:17:42.046,0:17:43.547
After they go to the hospital,

0:17:43.547,0:17:44.878
I'm changing the sheets.

0:17:45.174,0:17:46.835
I find a puddle of urine.

0:17:48.010,0:17:49.671
If madame went to the bathroom,

0:17:49.845,0:17:51.710
she would not have peed in her bed.

0:17:52.473,0:17:53.302
Right.

0:17:53.390,0:17:55.296
Why would Claus lie about that?

0:17:55.601,0:17:58.468
Well, it's suspicious,[br]but hardly criminal.

0:17:58.854,0:18:00.184
How about the second coma?

0:18:00.230,0:18:02.391
Well, Maria wasn't in[br]Newport for that one.

0:18:02.983,0:18:04.819
But shortly before the second coma...

0:18:04.860,0:18:06.171
I'm cleaning up their room

0:18:06.195,0:18:08.686
when I find Mr.[br]von Bülow's white canvas bag

0:18:08.864,0:18:09.944
packed for Newport.

0:18:10.866,0:18:13.699
Inside, there's a little black bag:

0:18:14.369,0:18:17.611
A bottle of insulin, a[br]syringe, and needles.

0:18:18.040,0:18:19.040
Alexander!

0:18:19.166,0:18:20.201
Alexander, come here!

0:18:24.505,0:18:25.505
Insulin.

0:18:26.673,0:18:28.664
For what, insulin?

0:18:29.051,0:18:30.791
My lady is not diabetic.

0:18:36.391,0:18:37.391
Three weeks later,

0:18:37.851,0:18:40.467
Sunny's lying unconscious[br]in a freezing bathroom

0:18:40.646,0:18:42.853
with her nightgown hiked over her waist.

0:18:43.440,0:18:44.705
If I was on that jury,

0:18:44.900,0:18:46.510
I would have voted to convict.

0:18:46.693,0:18:48.233
Then you're taking the case?

0:18:49.196,0:18:50.856
It reminds me of my Hitler dream.

0:18:52.539,0:18:53.700
You know, Hitler calls up.

0:18:53.700,0:18:55.190
He's alive, needs a lawyer.

0:18:56.370,0:18:58.611
I say, "sure, come on over."

0:18:59.957,0:19:01.247
Then I have to decide.

0:19:01.458,0:19:03.323
Do I take the case or do I kill him?

0:19:03.502,0:19:04.958
You? No question.

0:19:05.629,0:19:07.034
I would take the case.

0:19:07.422,0:19:08.422
Then kill him.

0:19:10.008,0:19:12.340
I'm a maniac.[br]I need someone with your judgment,

0:19:12.511,0:19:16.003
someone to watch what I'm doing,[br]occasionally remind me about the law.

0:19:16.515,0:19:18.146
When can I see the transcripts?

0:19:18.350,0:19:20.421
You're a former prosecutor, conservative.

0:19:20.435,0:19:21.971
We agree on nothing.

0:19:21.971,0:19:23.897
But you're smarter than[br]the Rhode Island DA.

0:19:23.897,0:19:26.223
If I can beat your arguments,[br]I can destroy his.

0:19:26.567,0:19:29.400
Look, Rhode Island is the most[br]corrupt state in the country.

0:19:29.570,0:19:30.737
Everything is political.

0:19:30.737,0:19:32.443
I don't think that way. You do.

0:19:32.531,0:19:35.993
I have to see the big picture.[br]I can't afford to immerse myself in facts,

0:19:35.993,0:19:37.654
but we must know the facts.

0:19:38.036,0:19:39.326
Out of all my ex-students,

0:19:39.371,0:19:42.152
no one can assimilate information[br]as quickly as you two.

0:19:42.332,0:19:44.118
Well, I agree with that assessment.

0:19:49.420,0:19:50.591
You're out of your mind.

0:19:50.591,0:19:52.377
I only have 45 days to file.

0:19:52.676,0:19:54.176
I can't do it without you.

0:19:55.898,0:19:57.723
Look, Sarah, I know you[br]don't want to come back...

0:19:57.723,0:19:59.213
Is this strictly professional?

0:20:03.854,0:20:04.854
Better be.

0:20:06.356,0:20:07.191
That's wonderful.

0:20:07.191,0:20:09.803
Now, I want the best people[br]in the world on our side,

0:20:09.818,0:20:11.433
the most prestigious experts,

0:20:11.737,0:20:14.069
Nobel prize-winning scientists.

0:20:14.216,0:20:16.126
Some of your colleagues[br]at Harvard, perhaps.

0:20:16.126,0:20:17.618
Hey, hey, wa... wait a minute, Claus.

0:20:17.618,0:20:19.648
Look, we got a little problem there, okay?

0:20:19.703,0:20:21.944
People like that, we can't control.

0:20:22.119,0:20:23.874
They'll find one incriminating fact,

0:20:23.874,0:20:25.042
they'll tell the whole world.

0:20:25.042,0:20:26.122
I'm not afraid, Alan.

0:20:26.543,0:20:28.204
Let the chips fall where they may.

0:20:28.921,0:20:31.081
That's what an innocent man would say.

0:20:32.174,0:20:33.174
I know.

0:20:40.015,0:20:41.765
That just came for you, dad.

0:20:43.352,0:20:45.764
My daughter, Cosima. She never doubted me.

0:20:46.730,0:20:48.273
She loves Alex and Ala dearly,

0:20:48.273,0:20:50.900
and siding with me has[br]cost her their affections.

0:20:55.072,0:20:57.028
I don't know what I would have done.

0:21:01.964,0:21:04.414
Okay, look, I said I didn't[br]want to hear your story,

0:21:04.414,0:21:05.666
but I do need some information.

0:21:05.666,0:21:06.666
'Course.

0:21:08.085,0:21:11.373
Okay, I gather they'll, the older[br]children, deny Sunny had a problem

0:21:11.373,0:21:12.546
with pills and alcohol?

0:21:12.714,0:21:14.295
Spectacular understatement.

0:21:14.453,0:21:16.051
So there must be somebody[br]who saw it, right?

0:21:16.051,0:21:18.095
Some witness, somebody, somewhere?[br]A friend?

0:21:18.095,0:21:19.554
- You want affidavits? - Yes, I do.

0:21:19.554,0:21:20.554
I'll get them.

0:21:20.597,0:21:21.515
You'll get them?

0:21:21.515,0:21:24.935
You should also know, the drugs[br]prescribed for me were taken by Sunny.

0:21:24.935,0:21:26.435
That's a lot of drugs, Claus.

0:21:26.436,0:21:30.429
But the prosecution's allegation that[br]I knew about syringes, injections,

0:21:30.941,0:21:32.101
totally accurate.

0:21:33.193,0:21:36.526
Sunny and I used to give ourselves[br]b-12 injections in the late sixties.

0:21:36.526,0:21:37.739
It was quite the fad in London.

0:21:37.739,0:21:39.359
Can I explain something to you?

0:21:39.491,0:21:40.776
The less I know from you,

0:21:41.118,0:21:42.278
the more options I have.

0:21:42.703,0:21:44.121
When you tell me “the truth,”

0:21:44.121,0:21:47.324
you limit me to a defense that lines[br]up with what you have to say.

0:21:47.624,0:21:49.956
But isn't the truth the[br]simplest way, Alan?

0:21:51.044,0:21:53.956
I mean, why did I stay[br]all day at Sunny's side

0:21:54.131,0:21:55.667
without calling a doctor?

0:21:56.717,0:21:59.550
Because Sunny detested doctors.

0:21:59.852,0:22:01.680
If we called one without her approval,

0:22:01.680,0:22:02.715
she went berserk.

0:22:02.905,0:22:04.015
Once she broke her hip

0:22:04.015,0:22:06.018
and didn't go to hospital[br]for two full days.

0:22:06.018,0:22:07.883
Claus, did you hear what I just said?

0:22:08.061,0:22:10.347
Of course.[br]Did you hear the judge sentenced me?

0:22:10.522,0:22:13.059
Sorry. 30 years is a[br]pretty stiff sentence.

0:22:13.542,0:22:15.110
Twice trying to murder one's wife,

0:22:15.110,0:22:16.911
anything less would be monstrous.

0:22:17.863,0:22:19.353
But for a man like myself,

0:22:21.283,0:22:22.283
who did nothing...

0:22:26.288,0:22:27.528
What I wanted to ask,

0:22:28.206,0:22:29.616
if we lose the appeal,

0:22:30.500,0:22:32.411
will I have the chance later

0:22:32.586,0:22:35.498
to set my affairs in order[br]before I'm incarcerated?

0:22:36.923,0:22:39.164
In Europe, a gentleman[br]is given the opportunity

0:22:39.343,0:22:40.549
to end things properly.

0:22:44.973,0:22:45.973
Come on, Claus.

0:22:46.141,0:22:49.508
We are each the keeper[br]of our own souls, Alan.

0:22:52.981,0:22:54.141
Okay, two big problems.

0:22:55.150,0:22:57.482
The case against him is very strong.

0:22:58.236,0:22:59.636
But probably more important,

0:22:59.654,0:23:01.940
the legal conviction isn't[br]the only conviction

0:23:01.948,0:23:03.228
that we got to reverse.

0:23:03.742,0:23:05.278
The more dangerous conviction

0:23:05.452,0:23:08.615
is the absolute certainty[br]of the American people

0:23:08.789,0:23:10.154
that Claus is guilty.

0:23:10.332,0:23:13.415
Finding grounds for reversal[br]won't be enough here.

0:23:13.960,0:23:17.953
Judges on the Rhode Island supreme court[br]will have to go home to their spouses

0:23:18.131,0:23:20.497
and explain why they reversed.

0:23:20.675,0:23:23.917
To get them to do that, we[br]must completely obliterate

0:23:24.096,0:23:26.963
every single aspect of the state's case.

0:23:27.474,0:23:30.181
Destroy both the medical[br]case and their witnesses

0:23:30.352,0:23:33.640
so the judges have no[br]possible way to affirm.

0:23:34.689,0:23:37.522
Total victory, or we[br]are dead in the water.

0:23:37.692,0:23:41.310
Now, I assume that you've[br]all had an opportunity

0:23:41.310,0:23:42.614
to look at the transcripts,

0:23:42.614,0:23:44.199
first impressions, yeah, Minnie?

0:23:44.241,0:23:45.856
I think this whole thing stinks.

0:23:46.701,0:23:49.033
I think Claus von Bülow stinks.

0:23:49.663,0:23:52.826
He's obviously guilty of[br]something pretty despicable.

0:23:53.041,0:23:54.326
And if we free him,

0:23:54.793,0:23:56.624
we become partners in his crime,

0:23:56.795,0:23:58.660
accessories after the fact.

0:23:59.256,0:24:00.587
I'm really shocked,

0:24:00.766,0:24:02.843
with your record defending[br]the poor and oppressed,

0:24:02.843,0:24:04.299
that you've taken this case.

0:24:07.681,0:24:09.652
I won't have anything to do with it,

0:24:10.934,0:24:13.050
and I hope my fellow[br]students won't either.

0:24:13.979,0:24:14.979
Good-bye.

0:24:15.856,0:24:18.689
May I exercise my first[br]amendment right to free speech?

0:24:22.351,0:24:24.322
If lawyers only defended innocent clients,

0:24:24.322,0:24:26.408
there would be 10 defense[br]lawyers in the entire country,

0:24:26.408,0:24:28.558
and none of you would[br]be able to find a job.

0:24:28.660,0:24:30.901
Why help guilty people get off?

0:24:32.664,0:24:34.950
Oh, you're sure he's[br]guilty, 100 percent sure.

0:24:35.250,0:24:37.662
He had a lawyer. He had a trial.

0:24:38.170,0:24:39.501
He was convicted.

0:24:39.921,0:24:41.761
Are you sure he had a fair trial?

0:24:42.090,0:24:42.829
Come on!

0:24:43.008,0:24:45.966
It's the basis of the whole legal system.

0:24:46.344,0:24:49.177
Everyone gets a defense.

0:24:49.931,0:24:51.421
So the system is there

0:24:51.725,0:24:54.558
for the one innocent person[br]who is falsely accused.

0:24:56.313,0:24:57.313
Okay, look.

0:24:58.482,0:25:00.473
Say it's you, okay?

0:25:01.318,0:25:02.433
You decide...

0:25:02.986,0:25:04.522
You decide to get a divorce.

0:25:05.697,0:25:07.557
You're going to divorce your husband.

0:25:07.574,0:25:08.574
A week later,

0:25:09.242,0:25:11.198
you're accused of molesting your son.

0:25:12.412,0:25:14.173
Oh, no, now don't give me that look.

0:25:14.206,0:25:16.141
Stuff like this happens all the time.

0:25:16.249,0:25:17.580
Suddenly, you're alone.

0:25:18.502,0:25:19.502
You're hated.

0:25:19.920,0:25:21.330
It's... it's a nightmare.

0:25:22.464,0:25:25.422
Everyone assumes that you are guilty.

0:25:26.092,0:25:29.584
Even the mailman is beginning to look[br]at you a little... a little funny.

0:25:30.096,0:25:32.428
You only got one person[br]who believes in you.

0:25:32.766,0:25:34.741
There's only one person you can trust,

0:25:36.436,0:25:37.436
your lawyer.

0:25:37.812,0:25:39.427
Yeah. Okay.

0:25:40.065,0:25:42.101
So, someone's got to defend Claus.

0:25:42.651,0:25:43.651
But why you?

0:25:43.777,0:25:44.857
Why us?

0:25:46.238,0:25:47.694
Look, you're my student.

0:25:47.864,0:25:48.864
Y-you have a choice.

0:25:48.864,0:25:50.867
You d... you don't have to do[br]anything you don't want to do.

0:25:50.867,0:25:51.982
That is your choice.

0:25:52.827,0:25:54.408
The reason I take cases,

0:25:54.579,0:25:56.740
and here, I'm unlike most other lawyers

0:25:56.915,0:25:59.786
who are not professors and[br]therefore have to make a living,

0:25:59.834,0:26:02.792
I take cases 'cause I get pissed off,

0:26:04.130,0:26:06.246
and I am pissed off here.

0:26:06.967,0:26:09.879
The family hired a private prosecutor.

0:26:12.430,0:26:15.046
They conducted a private search.

0:26:15.725,0:26:17.590
Now, we let them get away with that,

0:26:18.186,0:26:20.177
rich people won't go to the cops anymore.

0:26:20.355,0:26:21.856
You know what they're gonna do?

0:26:21.856,0:26:25.314
They're going to get their own[br]lawyers to collect evidence.

0:26:25.735,0:26:28.943
And then they are going[br]to choose which evidence

0:26:29.114,0:26:31.446
they feel like passing on to the DA,

0:26:31.783,0:26:35.025
and the next victim isn't going[br]to be rich like von Bülow.

0:26:35.370,0:26:37.531
But it's gonna be some[br]poor schnook in Detroit

0:26:37.789,0:26:41.828
who can't afford or can't[br]find a decent lawyer.

0:26:48.216,0:26:50.582
I think it's a little more complicated

0:26:51.177,0:26:53.259
than your simple moral superiority.

0:26:55.098,0:26:56.098
No?

0:26:56.850,0:26:58.761
I agree von Bülow is guilty,

0:26:58.935,0:27:01.246
but that's the fun, I mean,[br]that's the challenge.

0:27:01.271,0:27:02.761
See, now there is a lawyer.

0:27:05.317,0:27:06.317
What?

0:27:08.028,0:27:09.413
Yeah, okay. Put him on.

0:27:10.363,0:27:12.604
Alan, a rather unsavory character

0:27:12.782,0:27:15.114
called David Marriott contacted me

0:27:15.619,0:27:20.079
claiming to have information about a[br]drug delivery at Clarendon Court.

0:27:20.415,0:27:21.905
Okay. Now, where does he live?

0:27:21.988,0:27:23.084
Somewhere in Wakefield.

0:27:23.084,0:27:24.904
Okay, we... no, we'll get on it.

0:27:25.754,0:27:29.747
Tom, I want you to get[br]a private investigator

0:27:29.924,0:27:33.291
to dig into a David Marriott[br]who lives in Wakefield.

0:27:34.804,0:27:36.715
Okay. How are we going to win this case?

0:27:37.015,0:27:38.721
The judge made lots of mistakes.

0:27:38.892,0:27:40.553
Judges always make mistakes.

0:27:40.553,0:27:41.728
How are we going to win?

0:27:41.728,0:27:43.271
All right, one issue leaps up,

0:27:43.271,0:27:44.636
this lawyer, Brillhoffer,

0:27:44.814,0:27:47.055
interviewed Alex, Maria, everybody.

0:27:47.055,0:27:48.777
He was the first person[br]fo hear their stories.

0:27:48.777,0:27:50.612
He took notes and he used[br]those notes at trial

0:27:50.612,0:27:52.022
against a defense witness.

0:27:52.197,0:27:54.062
But the defense never saw the notes.

0:27:54.240,0:27:56.201
The judge wouldn't let us have them.

0:27:56.201,0:27:58.662
This alone seems like sufficient grounds.[br]It's perfect Brady.

0:27:58.662,0:27:59.367
Okay, fine.

0:27:59.579,0:28:01.069
Why don't you draft a letter

0:28:01.247,0:28:03.500
writing to Brillhoffer[br]asking him very nicely

0:28:03.500,0:28:04.740
to send us his notes?

0:28:05.001,0:28:06.992
Yeah, right. He'll fax them right over.

0:28:07.504,0:28:08.504
Yeah, right.

0:28:09.339,0:28:11.591
We could win on this issue[br]alone and he knows it.

0:28:11.591,0:28:13.081
You know it, I know it.

0:28:13.343,0:28:15.428
We'll just make sure he knows it.

0:28:15.428,0:28:17.714
Now... Nancy and Dobbs...

0:28:17.889,0:28:18.598
Yes?

0:28:18.598,0:28:20.854
They're going to attack[br]the medical testimony.

0:28:20.975,0:28:21.680
Mm-hmm.

0:28:21.893,0:28:24.680
Our Rhode Island counsel, Peter Macintosh,

0:28:25.105,0:28:27.517
he will analyze the state supreme court.

0:28:27.697,0:28:30.360
I think the rest of us should[br]begin dissecting the transcripts,

0:28:30.360,0:28:32.646
errors, inconsistencies, anything unusual.

0:28:32.821,0:28:34.114
Okay, great. Now, remember,

0:28:34.114,0:28:35.729
most cases are won in the field,

0:28:35.907,0:28:36.987
not in court.

0:28:39.536,0:28:40.536
Minnie?

0:28:42.747,0:28:44.547
You want to work with Sarah on this?

0:28:45.473,0:28:46.668
You may learn something.

0:28:46.668,0:28:48.748
- Come on, Minnie. - Come on, Minnie.

0:28:49.170,0:28:50.570
- Minnie! - Come on.

0:28:50.630,0:28:51.630
Please?

0:28:52.173,0:28:53.173
Come on.

0:28:54.619,0:28:56.445
"Course I don't trust David Marriott.

0:28:56.469,0:28:57.849
I don't know David Marriott.

0:28:57.849,0:28:59.305
But if he knew Alex von Auersberg...

0:28:59.305,0:29:01.099
You're crazy, I don't know[br]who you think you are.

0:29:01.099,0:29:02.134
You Perry Mason?

0:29:02.934,0:29:05.255
Let our private investigator[br]interview this jerk.

0:29:05.353,0:29:06.646
It's stupid, it's arrogant,

0:29:06.646,0:29:07.814
and it's unprofessional.

0:29:07.814,0:29:10.055
- It's fun. - Fun? This guy is a sleaze.

0:29:10.692,0:29:12.569
You don't know what he's going to try.

0:29:12.569,0:29:14.275
What, is he going to shoot me?

0:29:15.029,0:29:16.939
Come on, I'm from Brooklyn.

0:29:22.746,0:29:25.666
Okay, look, I'll stand by the[br]window every 10 minutes, okay?

0:29:26.082,0:29:27.842
That way you can know I'm safe.

0:29:29.419,0:29:30.750
I had this friend...

0:29:31.087,0:29:32.202
Gilbert Jackson...

0:29:33.006,0:29:34.166
Interior decorator.

0:29:35.175,0:29:37.507
Flaming queen, but a very excellent guy.

0:29:40.305,0:29:42.421
He introduced me to Alex von Auersberg.

0:29:44.058,0:29:45.093
You sure it was Alex?

0:29:45.852,0:29:48.594
We had dinner a few times, drinks.

0:29:49.105,0:29:51.266
All I knew, Alex was some rich kid.

0:29:52.609,0:29:53.609
So sometimes,

0:29:54.319,0:29:56.685
this is like, uh, summer of '77,

0:29:57.447,0:29:59.438
I'd motor to Newport for some r and r.

0:30:00.116,0:30:02.517
Gilbert asked me to bring Alex a package.

0:30:03.620,0:30:05.235
I figured interior decoration.

0:30:06.039,0:30:07.119
Maybe drapes.

0:30:07.791,0:30:08.871
Like six times.

0:30:09.167,0:30:10.373
So I'd call Alex.

0:30:10.627,0:30:12.297
How'd you get his phone number?

0:30:12.587,0:30:13.587
From Gilbert.

0:30:13.838,0:30:14.838
You still have it?

0:30:15.381,0:30:16.381
Maybe.

0:30:17.383,0:30:18.383
I'm that kind of guy.

0:30:45.161,0:30:46.161
Here.

0:30:52.585,0:30:53.950
One night I got curious.

0:30:55.255,0:30:56.415
Opened the package.

0:30:57.590,0:30:59.171
Fucking pharmacy, man.

0:30:59.926,0:31:02.759
Needles, syringes, white powder.

0:31:03.096,0:31:04.757
Nice selection of pills.

0:31:04.931,0:31:05.931
Demerol.

0:31:06.349,0:31:07.429
Like a drugstore.

0:31:09.561,0:31:12.143
You delivered drugs six[br]times and didn't know it?

0:31:15.441,0:31:16.441
Stupid, huh?

0:31:17.777,0:31:19.108
Then Gilbert asked me again.

0:31:20.141,0:31:21.823
I couldn't say no, but this time

0:31:21.823,0:31:23.928
I made Alex open the[br]package in front of me.

0:31:24.534,0:31:25.865
Voila.

0:31:28.246,0:31:30.703
I go, "awful lot of[br]pharmaceuticals for one person.”

0:31:31.541,0:31:34.123
He goes, "oh, I give some to my mom

0:31:34.294,0:31:35.534
to keep her off my back.”

0:31:37.380,0:31:40.213
Few weeks later, Gilbert gets[br]mistaken for a softball.

0:31:41.134,0:31:42.715
Two guys bash his head in.

0:31:43.303,0:31:45.715
Alex calls me, totally urinary.

0:31:46.112,0:31:47.682
Will the cops find his phone number

0:31:47.682,0:31:49.718
and fuck up his trust fund or something?

0:31:51.227,0:31:52.558
Well, that's the fat.

0:31:54.063,0:31:55.063
That's the skinny.

0:31:56.441,0:31:57.441
You like it?

0:31:59.152,0:32:01.734
You traffic with drug[br]dealers and drag queens.

0:32:01.905,0:32:03.215
You have a part-time job.

0:32:03.239,0:32:04.945
You ride around in rented limos.

0:32:04.946,0:32:06.326
All in all, I would have to say

0:32:06.326,0:32:08.244
you're probably the least[br]impressive witness

0:32:08.244,0:32:09.244
I've ever seen.

0:32:09.996,0:32:10.996
Wait a minute.

0:32:15.209,0:32:17.575
You think I'm scum, don't you?

0:32:18.671,0:32:20.627
Blow it out your ass.

0:32:22.133,0:32:24.019
You want a witness to back me up?

0:32:24.385,0:32:25.385
I'll get one.

0:32:26.137,0:32:27.137
And, hey,

0:32:27.555,0:32:29.921
maybe I'll see you at the Celtics, huh?

0:32:41.861,0:32:43.726
I am not going to let them execute you.

0:32:43.905,0:32:45.235
You're not going to die.

0:32:45.740,0:32:46.740
Look, Johnny, th...

0:32:47.500,0:32:49.494
Johnny, this is going to[br]be a lot easier on me

0:32:49.494,0:32:52.156
if you don't cry, okay? I... I kn...

0:32:52.330,0:32:54.256
I know your brother's hysterical, I...

0:32:54.374,0:32:56.911
Number o... they always set[br]a date for the execution,

0:32:56.911,0:32:58.581
and they always postpone it...

0:32:59.379,0:33:01.149
He's great when he's like this, huh?

0:33:01.881,0:33:02.666
That's right.

0:33:02.666,0:33:05.093
I just wish he had something[br]left for the people around him.

0:33:05.093,0:33:06.052
What are you talking to me about money?

0:33:06.052,0:33:07.557
Did I ever ask you about money?

0:33:07.762,0:33:09.762
Anyway, it's nice to have you back here.

0:33:11.474,0:33:13.264
Okay. Say hello to your brother.

0:33:13.893,0:33:14.893
Right.

0:33:15.228,0:33:16.228
Okay.

0:33:24.237,0:33:25.943
Okay, who's got what?

0:33:28.700,0:33:30.656
Uh, yeah. Maria's testimony.

0:33:30.952,0:33:33.739
She says Sunny did take[br]valium prescribed for Claus.

0:33:34.122,0:33:35.632
Okay, score one for von Bülow.

0:33:35.707,0:33:38.039
And this Jamie Smather prescription?

0:33:38.209,0:33:39.209
Who's Jamie Smather?

0:33:39.293,0:33:42.460
Three-hundred-pound redheaded[br]hooker in pigtails and white boots.

0:33:42.505,0:33:44.461
She supplied Claus with valium.

0:33:44.716,0:33:47.502
He had a gorgeous mistress and[br]he went with an ugly whore?

0:33:47.677,0:33:50.484
You know, there's some things[br]even mistresses won't do.

0:33:52.432,0:33:53.432
Like what?

0:33:54.058,0:33:55.093
I-I'm not telling.

0:33:56.853,0:33:59.094
Anyway, Maria swears

0:33:59.272,0:34:02.480
she first saw this Jamie Smather[br]prescription February 14th,

0:34:02.900,0:34:04.982
and then again February 28th.

0:34:05.486,0:34:06.230
So?

0:34:06.320,0:34:08.231
It wasn't prescribed till the 28th.

0:34:08.614,0:34:10.730
You're not suggesting she's lying?

0:34:11.105,0:34:13.453
Okay, how about Maria's insulin?[br]"For what, insulin"?

0:34:13.453,0:34:15.173
- Anything more on that? - Not yet.

0:34:17.331,0:34:18.982
Something about that bothers me.

0:34:21.169,0:34:22.169
Okay, who's next?

0:34:23.087,0:34:24.327
Brillhoffer wrote back.

0:34:25.757,0:34:27.563
He's very attached to his notes.

0:34:30.678,0:34:32.214
"I am satisfied

0:34:33.014,0:34:35.175
that there is not a scrap[br]of paper in my files

0:34:35.349,0:34:38.466
that might even arguably[br]be viewed as exculpatory.”

0:34:38.643,0:34:39.758
English translation?

0:34:39.937,0:34:42.248
He says he doesn't have[br]anything that'd help us.

0:34:44.817,0:34:45.817
You with me?

0:34:46.277,0:34:47.031
Pay dirt.

0:34:47.235,0:34:48.144
What's pay dirt?

0:34:48.154,0:34:49.154
He's a lawyer.

0:34:49.405,0:34:52.185
If he really didn't have[br]anything, he'd give it to us...

0:34:52.258,0:34:53.367
But there's something there

0:34:53.367,0:34:55.597
and he's gonna fight like[br]hell to hold onto it.

0:34:55.870,0:34:57.076
I will bet my fee

0:34:57.538,0:34:59.324
that no one remembered seeing insulin

0:35:00.041,0:35:01.901
until after the lab report came back.

0:35:02.150,0:35:03.377
So... you're suggesting...

0:35:03.377,0:35:04.377
Memory enhancement.

0:35:05.338,0:35:06.630
It might be more than that.

0:35:06.630,0:35:07.630
Possibly.

0:35:09.967,0:35:10.967
A frame-up.

0:35:11.677,0:35:12.837
You mean by the kids?

0:35:13.216,0:35:15.765
Where are you getting all this,[br]from Brillhoffer's letter?

0:35:15.765,0:35:16.765
Pure deduction.

0:35:17.058,0:35:21.722
A good lawyer is part psychiatrist,[br]detective, logician.

0:35:22.480,0:35:23.379
A great lawyer...

0:35:23.439,0:35:25.054
Never would have taken this case.

0:35:27.235,0:35:28.611
If there's nothing more...

0:35:29.278,0:35:30.609
Has anybody read this?

0:35:32.782,0:35:34.848
It's an interview with Truman Capote.

0:35:35.159,0:35:36.945
He says when she was 19,

0:35:37.120,0:35:38.576
Sunny von Bülow

0:35:38.746,0:35:40.532
taught him how to inject drugs.

0:35:40.706,0:35:41.706
Let me see that.

0:35:44.544,0:35:47.536
Well, well, well, the famous professor.

0:35:47.713,0:35:49.954
Alan, I'd like to introduce[br]my new girlfriend,

0:35:50.133,0:35:53.296
- Andrea Reynolds.[br]- I'm not his girlfriend, I'm his savior.

0:35:53.511,0:35:54.262
Perfectly true.

0:35:54.262,0:35:56.674
Two days after the trial[br]ended, we fell in love.

0:35:56.889,0:36:00.598
- It was really very, very dramatic.[br]- Yes, Andrea, Andrea, come on.

0:36:02.186,0:36:05.394
Since then, I've devoted my[br]life to clearing his name.

0:36:05.857,0:36:08.018
I made him hire you.

0:36:09.443,0:36:11.183
"Get the Jew," I said.

0:36:12.572,0:36:13.572
Darling...

0:36:14.615,0:36:16.225
Can the Jew get down to business?

0:36:17.618,0:36:18.903
We've got an affidavit.

0:36:20.037,0:36:22.653
A Smythe, Mrs. Ruth Smythe,

0:36:23.332,0:36:26.244
gave us an affidavit[br]corroborating Truman capote.

0:36:26.878,0:36:28.209
I have affidavits, too.

0:36:30.715,0:36:31.715
Newport people.

0:36:31.924,0:36:34.006
They describe Sunny taking pills,

0:36:34.260,0:36:35.966
getting drunk and falling down...

0:36:36.387,0:36:37.843
Bumping into doorways,

0:36:38.014,0:36:39.925
smearing lipstick all over her face.

0:36:39.967,0:36:41.100
Not a very pretty picture.

0:36:41.100,0:36:42.340
She did it, didn't she?

0:36:43.311,0:36:45.097
Don't be a priss.

0:36:46.265,0:36:47.356
Sunny was a lovely woman.

0:36:47.356,0:36:48.356
Spoiled rotten.

0:36:49.317,0:36:50.317
Yes, but lovely.

0:36:51.319,0:36:52.319
Till she drank.

0:36:53.571,0:36:56.563
Two drinks and she became... nasty,

0:36:56.741,0:36:59.107
- irrational.[br]- All women are irrational, darling.

0:36:59.368,0:37:00.608
Did we mention the priest?

0:37:00.870,0:37:05.034
Oh. Marriott apparently[br]confided in a priest

0:37:05.541,0:37:07.077
who's consented to talk to us.

0:37:10.046,0:37:11.877
A father Capello from Providence.

0:37:14.217,0:37:15.217
Priest?

0:37:16.427,0:37:18.167
Well, a priest is the ideal witness.

0:37:18.167,0:37:20.223
- It's like getting the word of god.[br]- I checked.

0:37:20.223,0:37:21.884
God is unavailable.

0:37:23.059,0:37:24.059
If

0:37:24.143,0:37:25.724
If the priest comes through

0:37:25.895,0:37:28.261
and we can get documentation[br]on Sunny's drug use,

0:37:28.731,0:37:31.007
then self-injection may[br]be a plausible theory.

0:37:31.108,0:37:32.758
There's no insulin in this case.

0:37:32.818,0:37:34.354
Yeah, but people do use insulin,

0:37:34.692,0:37:36.948
they use it for dieting, it's[br]not a prescription drug.

0:37:36.948,0:37:38.449
Sunny was concerned about her weight.

0:37:38.449,0:37:39.939
Maybe, but believe me, Alan...

0:37:40.785,0:37:42.090
There's no insulin here.

0:37:46.332,0:37:47.332
Really?

0:37:48.251,0:37:49.711
How can you be so sure?

0:37:57.760,0:37:58.840
Do you realize...

0:37:59.971,0:38:03.008
With this case, I'm looking for[br]evidence to exonerate you?

0:38:03.766,0:38:06.223
But at the same time,[br]I'm also wondering...

0:38:07.770,0:38:08.920
What really happened...

0:38:09.563,0:38:10.563
Who you are.

0:38:11.107,0:38:12.607
Who would you like me to be?

0:38:16.487,0:38:17.877
Your mother's death...

0:38:18.322,0:38:19.322
What happened?

0:38:20.491,0:38:22.573
I believe she had a heart problem.

0:38:23.577,0:38:24.351
Really?

0:38:24.458,0:38:26.289
The rumor in England is you killed her.

0:38:26.289,0:38:27.620
Hey, wait a minute, Alan.

0:38:27.835,0:38:30.126
Statute of limitations ran[br]out on that years ago.

0:38:30.126,0:38:32.162
There's rumors also that I killed my aunt.

0:38:35.256,0:38:36.917
And that I'm a necrophiliac,

0:38:37.466,0:38:39.172
who injected Sunny with insulin

0:38:39.343,0:38:41.209
so that I could have my way with her.

0:38:42.847,0:38:44.178
Please.

0:38:45.349,0:38:47.965
Your mother's death wasn't[br]recorded for five full days.

0:38:48.602,0:38:49.602
True.

0:38:51.939,0:38:53.589
Where were you during that time?

0:38:53.733,0:38:54.733
In the flat.

0:38:55.401,0:38:56.401
Where the body was?

0:39:03.951,0:39:05.657
My mother is my own business.

0:39:12.168,0:39:14.079
Did Claus drive me crazy?

0:39:15.338,0:39:16.669
Even I don't know.

0:39:17.965,0:39:21.583
But it's true that I took[br]up to 24 laxatives daily,

0:39:22.219,0:39:24.255
popped aspirin like m&ms,

0:39:24.847,0:39:27.384
smoked three packs of cigarettes a day,

0:39:28.017,0:39:30.178
had a problem with alcohol,

0:39:30.895,0:39:33.307
took valium and seconal frequently,

0:39:33.481,0:39:36.097
and consumed large quantities of sweets

0:39:36.442,0:39:39.605
despite a medical condition, hypoglycemia,

0:39:39.945,0:39:41.310
which made them hazardous.

0:39:43.240,0:39:45.151
As for my state of mind...

0:39:51.248,0:39:54.911
I had not had sex with[br]my husband for years.

0:39:56.962,0:39:58.202
My schedule was...

0:39:59.006,0:40:00.667
I woke at 9:30,

0:40:01.133,0:40:03.465
did a little exercise and shopping,

0:40:04.095,0:40:05.881
ahd returned to bed at three o'clock

0:40:06.055,0:40:07.795
for the remainder of the afternoon.

0:40:09.058,0:40:11.049
I liked to be in bed.

0:40:12.144,0:40:14.385
I didn't much like anything else.

0:40:20.861,0:40:21.976
Hold on here, will you?

0:40:40.965,0:40:41.884
Come in.

0:40:41.924,0:40:42.924
Alan.

0:40:43.300,0:40:45.040
Welcome to my humble law firm.

0:40:46.595,0:40:47.595
In the kitchen,

0:40:48.222,0:40:50.053
our insulin-on-the-needle team.

0:40:50.766,0:40:53.553
They're cooking up some surprise for us.

0:40:58.441,0:41:00.432
This is our Brillhoffer notes team.

0:41:01.610,0:41:02.770
Mr. von Bülow!

0:41:03.362,0:41:05.122
Where do you keep the paper towels?

0:41:06.073,0:41:07.153
Ask Sarah!

0:41:07.324,0:41:08.624
Sarah used to live here.

0:41:10.453,0:41:11.453
This...

0:41:12.371,0:41:13.896
I guess he was up all night.

0:41:21.881,0:41:23.166
This sort of commune,

0:41:23.466,0:41:25.002
you do it on every case?

0:41:25.176,0:41:26.176
Never before.

0:41:26.635,0:41:28.842
Thirty-eight days to write 100 pages?

0:41:29.388,0:41:30.548
Only way to get it done.

0:41:31.432,0:41:32.922
Here's the black bag team.

0:41:33.225,0:41:34.431
Illegal search teams.

0:41:44.737,0:41:46.352
My son, Elon, lost his room.

0:41:46.352,0:41:48.365
Well, actually, this is,[br]uh, this is another case

0:41:48.365,0:41:49.725
that you're paying for.

0:41:51.076,0:41:52.111
And this is my team.

0:41:53.287,0:41:54.287
You wish.

0:41:55.080,0:41:56.805
I... I can't find the damn thing.

0:41:58.083,0:41:59.198
Hi. I'm Sarah.

0:41:59.460,0:42:01.291
And a very lovely Sarah you are.

0:42:02.755,0:42:03.995
Does that really work?

0:42:04.423,0:42:05.223
Flattery?

0:42:05.424,0:42:06.424
Absolutely.

0:42:08.636,0:42:09.671
Like Chinese food?

0:42:11.388,0:42:13.504
What do you give a wife[br]who has everything?

0:42:15.935,0:42:17.471
An injection of insulin.

0:42:21.023,0:42:22.888
How... ah, my prawns.

0:42:23.484,0:42:26.476
How can one define a fear of insulin?

0:42:27.947,0:42:29.153
Claus-trophobia.

0:42:30.366,0:42:31.902
Hm.

0:42:35.371,0:42:37.307
Is there anything more you can tell us

0:42:37.331,0:42:38.616
about Alexandra Isles?

0:42:39.602,0:42:41.544
For instance, is it true[br]that she gave you a deadline

0:42:41.544,0:42:43.284
of Christmas 1979 to be together?

0:42:44.046,0:42:45.046
Uh, not really.

0:42:45.339,0:42:47.625
No, she knew I was looking[br]for full-time work.

0:42:47.841,0:42:50.173
I worked for JP Getty in London.

0:42:50.194,0:42:52.179
Alexandra assumed that[br]when you did find a job,

0:42:52.179,0:42:53.439
you'd marry her, correct?

0:42:54.473,0:42:55.679
Oh, she assumed it.

0:42:58.003,0:42:59.228
How about when she testified,

0:42:59.228,0:43:01.438
did you get a sense that she[br]wanted to get back together?

0:43:01.438,0:43:04.100
Very much so.[br]In fact, at the trial, she said...

0:43:04.275,0:43:08.609
I loved him, but I was still[br]caught up in my own anger...

0:43:10.322,0:43:12.278
And I'm sorry I acted that way then.

0:43:13.325,0:43:15.156
I loved him, and I was angry.

0:43:16.704,0:43:18.825
Let me ask you this.[br]Maybe you can't answer.

0:43:19.540,0:43:20.655
Do you still love him?

0:43:22.918,0:43:23.787
I don't know.

0:43:23.877,0:43:25.492
That means yes, doesn't it?

0:43:25.921,0:43:26.921
It would seem so.

0:43:27.339,0:43:28.591
In fact, after the trial,

0:43:28.591,0:43:30.752
she wrote me a letter[br]saying so explicitly.

0:43:31.635,0:43:33.296
A very passionate letter.

0:43:33.512,0:43:34.922
Passionate and...

0:43:35.472,0:43:36.472
Jealous.

0:43:37.558,0:43:40.174
But that was the relationship[br]from the outset.

0:43:40.477,0:43:42.013
That was Alexandra.

0:43:42.187,0:43:43.592
She was your love slave.

0:43:51.322,0:43:52.322
Ah.

0:43:52.948,0:43:56.315
Well, I think now I'll have[br]my own individual order

0:43:56.493,0:43:57.778
of ginger prawns.

0:44:00.205,0:44:02.491
- Waiter. - Three weeks[br]before her final coma,

0:44:03.167,0:44:04.657
Sunny overdosed on aspirin.

0:44:05.302,0:44:06.795
Can you tell us anything about that?

0:44:06.795,0:44:09.256
No one maintained I had[br]anything to do with that, Alan.

0:44:09.256,0:44:10.336
No, of course not.

0:44:10.966,0:44:12.446
I'm asking you what happened.

0:44:12.635,0:44:14.921
Well, Sunny had been unwell.

0:44:20.309,0:44:21.309
Ohhh...

0:44:21.852,0:44:22.852
Are you all right?

0:44:23.145,0:44:24.976
Oh, just a bit dizzy.

0:44:27.775,0:44:29.865
Well, if you're dizzy, don't go wandering.

0:44:46.043,0:44:47.043
Sunny?

0:44:50.172,0:44:51.172
Oh, my god.

0:44:51.548,0:44:52.548
Come on, my darling.

0:44:53.440,0:44:54.551
Now, you're all right.

0:44:54.551,0:44:56.136
Come on, put your arm around my shoulder.

0:44:56.136,0:44:56.887
There we are.

0:44:56.887,0:44:58.218
Now, you're all right.

0:44:58.472,0:45:01.134
Get you... come on.[br]We'll get you back into bed.

0:45:03.102,0:45:04.842
Something happened to my head.

0:45:05.020,0:45:06.731
You're all right. = it's cut.

0:45:07.356,0:45:09.096
Just a little cut. It's nothing.

0:45:09.274,0:45:10.274
Come on.

0:45:10.442,0:45:11.898
Let's get you lying down.

0:45:16.156,0:45:17.441
There you are.

0:45:21.495,0:45:22.495
There.

0:45:26.417,0:45:27.657
Shall I call a doctor?

0:45:27.835,0:45:29.826
No! No, I don't want...

0:45:30.003,0:45:31.123
I don't want a doctor.

0:45:31.171,0:45:32.786
Just... don't want a doctor.

0:45:33.924,0:45:36.540
Just want to be left alone.

0:45:37.678,0:45:40.740
Want to be left alone with all those beaut...[br]beautiful letters.

0:45:41.061,0:45:42.391
What did you do with those letters?

0:45:42.391,0:45:43.936
Why did you write those letters?

0:45:44.101,0:45:45.101
And those...

0:45:45.769,0:45:47.305
Later, Dr. Praug said

0:45:47.319,0:45:49.022
we needn't have gone to the hospital,

0:45:49.022,0:45:50.983
but I wasn't going to take any chances.

0:45:51.024,0:45:52.850
Why did she take so much aspirin?

0:45:53.026,0:45:55.017
Oh, Sunny always took aspirin.

0:45:55.487,0:45:57.603
She'd been taking a lot for several days.

0:45:57.603,0:45:58.967
That's not what our doctor said.

0:45:58.991,0:46:00.731
Dr. Lucas Lupardus,

0:46:01.034,0:46:03.867
chief forensic toxicologist,[br]Suffolk county,

0:46:04.204,0:46:07.141
says that people who take large[br]amounts of aspirin every day

0:46:07.166,0:46:08.536
never reach that level.

0:46:08.709,0:46:11.581
He also said the average blood[br]level in cases of death is...

0:46:11.628,0:46:13.744
Sixty. Hers was 90.

0:46:14.256,0:46:15.007
So...

0:46:15.007,0:46:17.544
So it was obviously a suicide attempt.

0:46:18.886,0:46:19.595
Why?

0:46:19.595,0:46:21.005
Yeah, why?

0:46:21.180,0:46:22.044
Why?

0:46:22.055,0:46:25.468
Alan, do they all want to be prosecutors?

0:46:28.228,0:46:29.228
We're waiting.

0:46:33.066,0:46:34.931
Well, I presume she was unhappy.

0:46:42.034,0:46:44.704
How about we all finish up[br]and go back to the house?

0:46:46.163,0:46:49.030
We're not going to win this[br]on a technicality. Peter.

0:46:50.167,0:46:52.270
I've read every case in[br]the last seven years

0:46:52.294,0:46:54.554
where the Rhode Island[br]supreme court reversed.

0:46:54.554,0:46:55.964
They don't like to make new law,

0:46:55.964,0:46:58.205
they don't like to discuss[br]broad legal issues.

0:46:58.383,0:46:59.589
When they do reverse,

0:46:59.760,0:47:01.170
the grounds are technical,

0:47:01.345,0:47:03.381
but the reason seems to be

0:47:03.555,0:47:06.217
they suspect a convicted[br]defendant may be innocent.

0:47:07.518,0:47:09.179
Okay, so everybody get that?

0:47:10.103,0:47:13.061
True or not, we've got[br]to convince the judges

0:47:14.107,0:47:15.438
that you are innocent.

0:47:16.360,0:47:19.272
Claus, now I do want to hear[br]your side of the story.

0:47:19.446,0:47:20.446
With pleasure.

0:47:21.240,0:47:23.481
Innocence has always been my position.

0:47:28.872,0:47:30.737
First coma. What preceded it?

0:47:33.210,0:47:34.666
Well, Sunny loved Christmas.

0:47:35.462,0:47:37.293
It was her favorite season, really.

0:47:38.465,0:47:41.457
You see, what you must[br]understand about Sunny

0:47:41.635,0:47:44.672
is that she loved giving[br]more than anything else.

0:47:44.888,0:47:48.472
J peace on earth and mercy mild j

0:47:48.642,0:47:50.724
j god and sinners reconciled... j

0:47:50.894,0:47:54.136
each year, she always made a[br]big bowl of fresh eggnog.

0:47:54.815,0:47:56.897
Now, that year, she drank a lot of it.

0:47:57.317,0:47:58.317
How much?

0:47:58.569,0:48:00.651
Oh, 10 or 12 glasses.

0:48:01.989,0:48:03.695
With her hypoglycemia?

0:48:04.842,0:48:06.577
She didn't always drink like that?

0:48:06.577,0:48:07.577
Never.

0:48:07.911,0:48:11.324
She never touched alcohol at[br]all except on social occasions

0:48:11.498,0:48:12.988
to overcome her shyness...

0:48:13.458,0:48:15.198
Or when she was upset.

0:48:16.420,0:48:18.581
This was not a social occasion.

0:48:19.172,0:48:20.172
No.

0:48:21.425,0:48:24.041
We'd been discussing[br]divorce all afternoon.

0:48:41.278,0:48:43.018
This whole subject of your...

0:48:44.406,0:48:46.738
Work... coming between us,

0:48:48.410,0:48:51.527
isn't it just a pretext when[br]the real subject is her?

0:48:52.331,0:48:53.331
Certainly not.

0:48:56.168,0:48:59.376
I'm thinking of redecorating[br]this whole fucking house.

0:49:01.757,0:49:03.338
Then she knew about Alexandra.

0:49:05.177,0:49:06.177
Yes.

0:49:06.470,0:49:07.670
How did she find out?

0:49:08.597,0:49:09.597
Uh...

0:49:10.098,0:49:11.258
I, um...

0:49:12.017,0:49:13.632
I told her the previous summer.

0:49:20.233,0:49:22.189
Ala, can't we find one a bit slower?

0:49:28.367,0:49:29.917
- Ah, that's much better. - Hm.

0:49:31.286,0:49:32.286
- Cooler. - Hm.

0:49:35.540,0:49:36.540
Thank you.

0:49:45.759,0:49:47.630
Oh, I've been meaning to mention...

0:49:48.470,0:49:50.506
Our understanding about my...

0:49:52.641,0:49:54.381
Extracurricular activities.

0:49:54.977,0:49:55.977
Mmm?

0:49:56.728,0:49:58.639
I've been involved with someone who...

0:49:59.231,0:50:02.143
Falls outside the parameters[br]of our agreement.

0:50:02.442,0:50:03.602
- Really? - Someone...

0:50:03.944,0:50:05.525
Peripherally in our circle.

0:50:07.906,0:50:09.126
Billy Botsky's daughter,

0:50:09.157,0:50:10.613
Alexandra isles.

0:50:13.245,0:50:14.245
Well.

0:50:17.582,0:50:18.917
That must be better for you

0:50:18.917,0:50:20.857
than what you've had to put up with.

0:50:22.212,0:50:23.952
You're referring to the call girls.

0:50:25.424,0:50:26.424
Yes.

0:50:27.884,0:50:31.172
I mean, that is where you've[br]gone previously, isn't it?

0:50:31.805,0:50:32.805
Yes, it is.

0:50:35.809,0:50:37.299
And isn't this better?

0:50:38.478,0:50:41.015
Or is Billy Botsky's[br]daughter a call girl, too?

0:50:42.983,0:50:44.189
This is much better.

0:50:53.452,0:50:54.942
That was what, July, August?

0:50:55.328,0:50:56.673
Now it's Christmas time,

0:50:56.788,0:50:59.074
and you were still[br]squabbling over Alexandra?

0:50:59.541,0:51:01.657
No. We were fighting about my work.

0:51:05.422,0:51:07.253
Well, by the evening,

0:51:07.424,0:51:08.755
she'd drunk so much eggnog,

0:51:08.925,0:51:11.050
that I had to help her into the bedroom.

0:51:12.220,0:51:13.220
Alexander.

0:51:14.556,0:51:15.796
Time for bed, darling.

0:51:18.268,0:51:20.350
Mmm, mmm, mmm.

0:51:21.521,0:51:22.521
There we are.

0:51:29.321,0:51:31.232
Please don't hold my arm.

0:51:32.074,0:51:34.254
Darling, you know when[br]you get like this...

0:51:34.743,0:51:35.743
Remember?

0:51:37.537,0:51:38.933
You fell and broke your hip.

0:51:38.997,0:51:40.612
That was years ago.

0:51:43.001,0:51:44.582
It was two years ago.

0:52:05.774,0:52:07.435
Get me a scotch and soda.

0:52:18.829,0:52:21.366
May I at least urinate alone?

0:52:41.143,0:52:43.670
She runs the water every[br]time she goes in there.

0:52:45.861,0:52:48.525
If she was already soused,[br]why'd you go for the scotch?

0:52:48.525,0:52:50.186
Because she asked for it.

0:52:51.945,0:52:54.277
Sunny got what Sunny wanted.

0:52:54.739,0:52:55.739
It's okay.

0:53:25.645,0:53:26.645
Good night, dad.

0:53:27.314,0:53:28.314
Good night, darling.

0:53:30.567,0:53:31.567
Good night, Claus.

0:53:32.235,0:53:33.235
Good night, Alex.

0:53:47.209,0:53:49.165
Hasn't my mother given us enough money?

0:53:51.296,0:53:52.046
Claus?

0:53:52.172,0:53:53.833
That night, we hardly slept.

0:53:54.216,0:53:56.878
Your age, it's perfectly[br]acceptable to retire.

0:53:57.677,0:53:59.042
I'm already retired.

0:54:00.472,0:54:02.453
I haven't worked full-time since Getty.

0:54:02.474,0:54:03.930
Exactly. It's your ego.

0:54:04.100,0:54:06.211
You've never had a career. Not really.

0:54:06.853,0:54:08.389
Well, I'm going to have one now.

0:54:11.608,0:54:14.020
Oh, come on, Sunny, your father worked.

0:54:15.612,0:54:17.364
Do you want the children to grow up

0:54:17.364,0:54:19.525
thinking a male's place[br]is in a deck chair?

0:54:19.559,0:54:21.201
Claus, you marry me for my money,

0:54:21.201,0:54:22.244
then you demand to work.

0:54:22.244,0:54:23.859
You're the prince of perversion.

0:54:24.034,0:54:26.289
I mean, what? Are you trying[br]to destroy our whole family?

0:54:26.289,0:54:27.374
Oh, no, of course not.

0:54:27.374,0:54:29.456
I... l... l simply want some...

0:54:31.169,0:54:32.534
Intercourse with the world.

0:54:32.712,0:54:33.712
Shut up, pan!

0:54:34.965,0:54:36.445
Oh, what does it matter?

0:54:39.552,0:54:41.918
So is that it?

0:54:43.348,0:54:44.383
Another divorce?

0:54:47.477,0:54:48.477
Okay.

0:54:48.770,0:54:50.852
I'll divorce you. I will.

0:54:51.940,0:54:53.305
Oh, god...

0:54:54.067,0:54:55.273
Two-time loser.

0:54:57.070,0:54:58.401
I'll divorce everybody.

0:54:59.030,0:55:01.146
I don't want a divorce.

0:55:01.950,0:55:04.487
I don't want to marry[br]Billy Botsky's daughter.

0:55:04.541,0:55:06.579
I want to stay with you[br]and I want to work.

0:55:06.579,0:55:09.036
I need that as a man.

0:55:13.003,0:55:14.003
It's hopeless.

0:55:17.299,0:55:18.334
Oh, god.

0:55:19.968,0:55:21.333
I need my beauty sleep.

0:55:21.511,0:55:24.902
Why do you... why do you believe it's[br]hopeless just because of some...

0:56:05.221,0:56:06.221
Good night, Claus.

0:56:08.641,0:56:10.097
Sunny, you know I love you.

0:56:28.870,0:56:29.870
Good night.

0:56:36.920,0:56:38.200
Okay, and the next day?

0:56:38.338,0:56:39.338
Well...

0:56:41.341,0:56:44.708
Maria's testimony was wildly exaggerated.

0:56:46.304,0:56:48.090
Sunny was never moaning.

0:56:49.182,0:56:51.389
Maybe the occasional snore, but...

0:56:53.311,0:56:55.597
And Maria shook Sunny.

0:56:58.733,0:57:01.349
Nobody ever shook Sunny.

0:57:05.657,0:57:07.948
What happened when she[br]regained consciousness?

0:57:08.159,0:57:09.490
After the first coma,

0:57:09.661,0:57:11.276
well, it was kind of absurd.

0:57:11.454,0:57:13.160
Everybody was angry at me.

0:57:17.210,0:57:19.121
Can't you ever leave me alone?

0:57:22.757,0:57:23.837
Why did you do it?

0:57:25.093,0:57:26.754
I would have been better off.

0:57:27.554,0:57:29.135
You would have been better off.

0:57:29.305,0:57:30.905
What do you want me to say?

0:57:30.974,0:57:32.589
That I'm sorry I saved your life?

0:57:32.767,0:57:33.767
Yes.

0:57:38.398,0:57:39.398
Say it.

0:57:47.407,0:57:48.692
Of course I'm not sorry.

0:58:07.051,0:58:08.051
Wha...

0:58:09.387,0:58:10.387
Claus...

0:58:14.809,0:58:16.925
What am I going to do with myself?

0:58:23.693,0:58:24.978
When I phoned Alexandra,

0:58:24.978,0:58:27.280
to tell her what had happened,[br]she said the same thing,

0:58:27.280,0:58:29.145
she said, "why did you do it?

0:58:29.324,0:58:30.780
Why did you call the doctor?”

0:58:31.034,0:58:33.366
You telling me she wanted[br]you to let Sunny die?

0:58:33.578,0:58:35.990
No, no, no, no, no.

0:58:36.164,0:58:37.449
It was more...

0:58:37.999,0:58:41.491
"Everybody says Sunny" s[br]such an unhappy woman

0:58:41.669,0:58:44.877
and has nothing to live for."

0:58:47.133,0:58:49.670
Well, so much for the first coma.

0:58:50.803,0:58:52.009
The second, of course,

0:58:52.430,0:58:54.136
was much more theatrical.

0:58:55.058,0:58:57.078
Theatrical? What is this, a fucking game?

0:58:57.644,0:59:00.370
This is life and death.[br]Your wife is laying in a coma.

0:59:01.231,0:59:03.631
You don't even make a[br]pretense of caring, do you?

0:59:04.651,0:59:05.936
'Course I care, Alan.

0:59:08.488,0:59:10.604
It's just I don't wear[br]my heart on my sleeve.

0:59:15.328,0:59:16.918
Let's call it a night, okay?

0:59:17.330,0:59:18.661
Okay, guys, so...

0:59:19.499,0:59:20.499
As you wish.

0:59:20.713,0:59:22.585
There were three drugs[br]on the needle, right?

0:59:22.585,0:59:24.917
Amobarbital, valium, insulin.

0:59:26.548,0:59:27.879
We can't all be you, Alan.

0:59:36.558,0:59:37.758
Shoot! Shoot! All right.

0:59:38.351,0:59:40.808
Okay, get a doctor to[br]prepare five needles,

0:59:41.271,0:59:42.511
one with nothing,

0:59:42.772,0:59:45.263
two with valium, amobarbital, and insulin,

0:59:45.525,0:59:47.436
two with just valium and amobarbital.

0:59:47.440,0:59:50.655
We're gonna send them to the same[br]lab that our famous needle went to.

0:59:50.655,0:59:52.921
Let's see if we can get a[br]false positive result.

0:59:53.032,0:59:54.032
If we don't?

0:59:55.076,0:59:56.632
We don't, I clean the latrines.

0:59:56.703,0:59:58.343
Aw, you're not gonna believe this.

0:59:58.955,1:00:00.355
David Marriott wants money.

1:00:00.373,1:00:01.373
Yeah, who doesn't?

1:00:02.046,1:00:03.710
I'm afraid his memory might fade.

1:00:03.710,1:00:04.877
Oh, the hell with him. Forget about him.

1:00:04.877,1:00:06.212
Well, he has lost his crumby job,

1:00:06.212,1:00:08.942
and he is running around trying[br]to find evidence for us.

1:00:10.420,1:00:12.719
Okay, why don't we do what the[br]government does with its witnesses?

1:00:12.719,1:00:14.189
Okay? We'll pay for his time.

1:00:14.596,1:00:15.836
What's his time worth?

1:00:15.888,1:00:18.470
Buck and a half. = Sarah? Dersh?

1:00:19.559,1:00:20.559
Your team's on.

1:00:21.152,1:00:23.229
Okay. You going to pass[br]to me this game or what?

1:00:23.229,1:00:24.229
No.

1:00:26.316,1:00:27.866
Their private investigator said

1:00:27.900,1:00:29.861
the needle had a small[br]encrustation near the tip.

1:00:29.861,1:00:32.973
Now, doctors tell us this is totally[br]inconsistent with injection.

1:00:33.072,1:00:34.698
Okay, so how did it get there?

1:00:36.951,1:00:37.951
Oh.

1:00:38.036,1:00:39.947
If I inject this needle,

1:00:40.288,1:00:42.370
the skin acts as kind of a swab.

1:00:42.707,1:00:43.947
It cleans the needle off,

1:00:44.292,1:00:46.954
leaving the tip completely free of liquid.

1:00:47.128,1:00:50.291
But if I just dip the[br]needle into the liquid,

1:00:50.465,1:00:51.465
what do you see?

1:00:52.592,1:00:53.592
Dry this out,

1:00:53.926,1:00:55.416
you have an encrustation.

1:00:55.845,1:00:56.885
So it's a frame-up?

1:00:57.472,1:00:59.303
It's Desdemona's handkerchief.

1:01:00.433,1:01:02.323
My stepchildren thought I was guilty,

1:01:02.323,1:01:04.020
didn't feel they had enough evidence,

1:01:04.020,1:01:05.226
and so concocted some.

1:01:05.605,1:01:07.156
This should win us the case, no?

1:01:07.273,1:01:09.480
No. We're maybe halfway home.

1:01:10.902,1:01:12.928
There's still a lot of weird stuff.

1:01:13.404,1:01:14.404
Did you love Sunny?

1:01:14.781,1:01:15.781
I married her.

1:01:17.061,1:01:19.077
Of course I loved her. She was beautiful.

1:01:19.077,1:01:20.077
Rich.

1:01:20.244,1:01:21.244
Why not?

1:01:21.579,1:01:23.709
What I've seen of the rich, you can have.

1:01:23.956,1:01:24.956
I do.

1:01:29.587,1:01:30.587
The black bag,

1:01:30.838,1:01:31.838
was it yours?

1:01:34.175,1:01:35.756
Sunny appropriated it.

1:01:36.386,1:01:37.842
Now, to understand that,

1:01:38.054,1:01:40.796
you must understand that[br]after the first coma,

1:01:41.057,1:01:43.218
she went into a complete rage.

1:01:48.272,1:01:49.933
Where are they? Did you take them?

1:01:50.108,1:01:51.308
Certainly not. Take what?

1:01:51.359,1:01:52.974
My pills, you moron.

1:01:54.070,1:01:55.401
Valium, seconal...

1:01:57.156,1:01:58.616
You took them, didn't you?

1:01:58.825,1:02:01.111
My dear, I've long since[br]stopped interfering.

1:02:01.285,1:02:03.196
Well, who? My children wouldn't dare...

1:02:03.955,1:02:04.955
Oh.

1:02:05.206,1:02:06.616
Oh, I know who.

1:02:06.791,1:02:07.791
Where are you going?

1:02:21.055,1:02:22.055
Maria!

1:02:32.066,1:02:33.602
She soon found them.

1:02:35.236,1:02:37.101
It's my lovely mother, isn't it?

1:02:37.488,1:02:38.819
She's behind all this.

1:02:39.782,1:02:41.568
She's in cahoots with Maria.

1:02:43.536,1:02:47.529
Well, just because she had all the money

1:02:47.707,1:02:49.447
before I had all the money

1:02:49.625,1:02:51.911
does not mean she's my lord and master.

1:02:52.253,1:02:54.494
'Course not. I am your lord and master.

1:02:56.549,1:02:57.549
Just kidding.

1:03:02.805,1:03:04.511
Maria loves me too much.

1:03:05.850,1:03:07.135
It's unhealthy for her,

1:03:07.894,1:03:10.135
and it's certainly no fun for me.

1:03:15.526,1:03:16.606
There.

1:03:32.585,1:03:34.676
We'll see if that ugly little maid of mine

1:03:34.754,1:03:35.994
can sniff this one out.

1:03:45.973,1:03:48.053
And what are you going[br]to do with all that?

1:03:48.976,1:03:50.286
I'm not going to tell you.

1:03:51.103,1:03:53.594
I assure you, it not gonna[br]be among my affairs.

1:03:55.608,1:03:58.395
Odd she used that word, affairs.

1:03:59.257,1:04:01.715
You realize the prosecution[br]thinks you ground up the drugs

1:04:01.715,1:04:02.979
so you could inject Sunny?

1:04:03.407,1:04:06.194
And frankly, this nose drop[br]business is pretty far-fetched.

1:04:06.953,1:04:09.285
But consider the pattern, Alan.

1:04:10.289,1:04:13.281
It's public record that Sunny used drugs.

1:04:13.668,1:04:16.501
Her behavior here of hiding them in liquid

1:04:16.921,1:04:18.661
so that no one will find them,

1:04:19.298,1:04:21.754
it's your classic alcoholic[br]buying pints of whiskey

1:04:21.754,1:04:23.638
and stashing them all over the house.

1:04:24.929,1:04:25.929
You're right.

1:04:27.139,1:04:28.139
Of course, I mean...

1:04:28.891,1:04:31.132
I mean, you've always[br]been right, haven't you?

1:04:32.478,1:04:34.948
This is the most dangerous[br]case I've ever worked on.

1:04:35.064,1:04:36.370
You find that exhilarating?

1:04:36.440,1:04:37.440
No, I do not.

1:04:38.943,1:04:40.303
I am breaking every rule.

1:04:40.358,1:04:42.864
'Cause the best way to win is[br]to proclaim your innocence,

1:04:42.864,1:04:44.775
and I've never done that for anybody.

1:04:45.700,1:04:47.891
And the problem I got[br]is I see who you are.

1:04:48.119,1:04:49.404
You'd do anything to win.

1:04:49.745,1:04:50.745
So would you.

1:04:50.872,1:04:52.992
Yeah, but you don't[br]trust the legal system.

1:04:53.583,1:04:55.744
You're saying I'd manufacture witnesses?

1:04:56.586,1:04:57.666
Affidavits?

1:04:59.130,1:05:01.371
No, but you would sacrifice me.

1:05:01.549,1:05:02.549
Oh, please, Alan.

1:05:02.800,1:05:06.210
See, the more I believe that you are[br]innocent, the more nervous I am.

1:05:07.096,1:05:08.632
I go out on a limb for you,

1:05:09.140,1:05:11.321
you're proven guilty, I[br]look like an asshole.

1:05:11.809,1:05:14.721
My reputation, my credibility,[br]my career, destroyed.

1:05:16.277,1:05:18.190
That's the risk you're taking, isn't it?

1:05:18.190,1:05:19.225
Yeah, well, fuck you.

1:05:20.151,1:05:21.357
Fuck you, man.

1:05:33.789,1:05:35.684
I'm glad we understand one another.

1:05:38.961,1:05:42.078
It's easy to forget all[br]this is about me...

1:05:42.757,1:05:43.837
Lying here.

1:05:44.759,1:05:47.421
To most of you, my name means coma.

1:05:47.929,1:05:51.092
My second marriage means attempted murder.

1:05:51.766,1:05:53.176
Everything that came before,

1:05:53.351,1:05:56.764
everything beautiful, does not[br]exist in the public mind.

1:05:57.605,1:06:00.017
No one thinks of how I loved my children.

1:06:00.524,1:06:01.639
Look at Cosima,

1:06:02.568,1:06:03.603
and Alex, of course,

1:06:04.320,1:06:05.320
and Ala,

1:06:05.571,1:06:07.857
and certainly no one cares about Claus,

1:06:08.366,1:06:10.527
the way he was when I[br]fell in love with him.

1:06:11.369,1:06:12.905
When Claus and I first met,

1:06:13.079,1:06:16.663
I was married to the dashing, young[br]prince Alfred Eduard Friederich

1:06:16.832,1:06:19.744
Vincenz Martin Maria von Auersberg.

1:06:20.836,1:06:23.077
It was 1964,

1:06:24.090,1:06:26.502
seven years into my first marriage.

1:06:32.264,1:06:34.220
It seems that my first husband,

1:06:34.517,1:06:36.678
Alfie, as he was called,

1:06:37.478,1:06:41.642
had vowed to be unfaithful with[br]every pretty girl in Europe.

1:06:43.818,1:06:45.934
He was having quite a success.

1:06:47.905,1:06:48.905
And so...

1:06:50.032,1:06:52.648
I was unfaithful with Claus.

1:07:04.046,1:07:05.046
Psst!

1:07:11.178,1:07:12.884
Wildly unfaithful.

1:07:15.057,1:07:16.217
Happy memories.

1:07:25.192,1:07:27.683
But it's not the passion I remember most.

1:07:29.613,1:07:30.853
It's the tenderness.

1:07:37.830,1:07:39.115
Good god, what's that?

1:07:39.790,1:07:41.371
There's one of frank's pets.

1:07:46.005,1:07:47.620
Oh, my god. No, no.

1:08:04.607,1:08:06.518
I never liked people much,

1:08:06.942,1:08:08.057
not as a rule.

1:08:08.611,1:08:09.611
Go ahead, feed him.

1:08:09.695,1:08:11.902
But Claus was somehow different.

1:08:14.867,1:08:17.199
Not a normal person, I guess.

1:08:21.165,1:08:22.701
It's all right. Do it again.

1:08:22.875,1:08:23.875
Give him some more.

1:08:26.087,1:08:27.087
Aw!

1:08:37.430,1:08:39.967
One of those things you never forget.

1:08:41.894,1:08:44.806
Of course, now he lives in my apartment...

1:08:45.814,1:08:46.894
My bedroom...

1:08:48.067,1:08:49.067
My bed.

1:08:50.402,1:08:51.892
Cold, isn't it?

1:08:53.029,1:08:56.146
Cold and brutish and the way of the world.

1:08:57.660,1:08:58.660
Looking at him now,

1:08:58.702,1:09:00.317
the issues seem simple.

1:09:01.412,1:09:02.652
Is he the devil?

1:09:03.624,1:09:06.787
If so, can the devil get justice?

1:09:08.129,1:09:10.290
And all this legal activity...

1:09:11.674,1:09:14.086
Is it in Satan's service?

1:09:15.010,1:09:17.342
"Sunny von Bülow was totally vulnerable

1:09:17.513,1:09:18.969
to Claus von Bülow."

1:09:20.140,1:09:21.540
Can't argue with that.

1:09:21.892,1:09:24.679
But it's speculation. Exaggeration.

1:09:24.854,1:09:26.024
You keep working on it.

1:09:26.104,1:09:28.220
Totally inflammatory!

1:09:30.151,1:09:31.812
Okay, good. Let's go over this.

1:09:33.154,1:09:36.646
Okay, we went over it...[br]once, I just wanted you to see if...

1:09:44.456,1:09:46.992
Oh, shit, wha...[br]what is this, illegal search?

1:09:49.217,1:09:50.546
It's a classic technicality.

1:09:50.546,1:09:51.546
It's a guilty man's argument.

1:09:51.546,1:09:52.798
Come on, this is different.

1:09:52.798,1:09:55.134
Usual fourth amendment case,[br]you're trying to exclude evidence

1:09:55.134,1:09:56.468
that's bad for your client.[br]= no, no. No, no.

1:09:56.468,1:09:57.878
Same thing here. Same thing.

1:09:58.053,1:10:00.419
No. This search destroyed evidence.

1:10:00.973,1:10:02.404
No fingerprints, no inventory.

1:10:02.404,1:10:04.518
Yeah, what's left hurts[br]Claus, but under Brady,

1:10:04.518,1:10:05.685
the state has an obligation...

1:10:05.685,1:10:07.813
Wait, wait, wait a second.[br]The cops tested the drugs

1:10:07.813,1:10:09.523
- from the illegal search, right?[br]- Yes, yes.

1:10:09.523,1:10:13.107
And we are saying that that test[br]constituted a second illegal search.

1:10:13.196,1:10:14.195
There are precedents.

1:10:14.195,1:10:15.905
- Walter, Jacobson, Morgan.[br]- I know there are precedents.

1:10:15.905,1:10:17.948
I know the law is on our side.[br]I'm not debating that.

1:10:17.948,1:10:18.782
What I'm trying to do is...

1:10:18.782,1:10:21.694
No. You're debating me personally. Why?

1:10:23.746,1:10:26.679
I'm debating strategy, okay?[br]I'm not... I'm not debating you.

1:10:26.679,1:10:27.750
We're all on the same team.

1:10:27.750,1:10:29.335
A-a-are we on the same team here or not?

1:10:29.335,1:10:31.075
I don't know. We seem to be.

1:10:31.462,1:10:33.052
Well then, why don't I feel it?

1:10:33.439,1:10:35.174
I thought this was strictly professional.

1:10:35.174,1:10:36.835
- It was. - That's bullshit, Alan.

1:10:37.259,1:10:39.845
Look, I brought you... I...[br]l asked you to work on this case

1:10:39.845,1:10:41.180
because I think you are a good lawyer.

1:10:41.180,1:10:43.842
I think you're a fine lawyer, too.[br]You're a great lawyer.

1:10:43.933,1:10:45.476
But you give everything[br]you have to the law,

1:10:45.476,1:10:46.936
and you forget the people you care about.

1:10:46.936,1:10:49.598
My clients are the people[br]that I care about.

1:10:49.772,1:10:50.601
Obviously.

1:10:50.601,1:10:52.191
What I care about, all I care about,

1:10:52.191,1:10:54.477
all I fucking care about is this!

1:10:55.152,1:10:56.358
This case!

1:10:56.779,1:11:00.442
And making... making the best possible[br]appeal we're capable of doing, okay?

1:11:00.778,1:11:02.952
Now, you can make your[br]argument better, Sarah.

1:11:02.952,1:11:04.783
You know that! I know that!

1:11:04.954,1:11:07.674
So why don't you just do it[br]and cut out all the bullshit?

1:11:08.666,1:11:11.316
Wow, you always have to have[br]the last word, don't you?

1:11:42.658,1:11:43.658
What?

1:11:46.245,1:11:47.245
We're going to lose.

1:11:48.580,1:11:50.866
W-why do you think this[br]case fascinates people?

1:11:52.668,1:11:55.690
'Cause one time or other every[br]man is driven crazy by his wife,

1:11:55.754,1:11:57.084
and in his secret heart,

1:11:57.923,1:12:00.255
he wants to do exactly[br]what Claus is accused of,

1:12:01.385,1:12:05.048
kill her in some sly, silent[br]way that can't be detected.

1:12:05.597,1:12:07.337
Claus is a scapegoat.

1:12:07.933,1:12:11.039
Someone has to suffer for the[br]sin that we all want to commit.

1:12:13.439,1:12:15.930
Alan, that's ridiculous.

1:12:18.110,1:12:19.566
It's ridiculous, you're right.

1:12:19.987,1:12:21.147
It's rid...

1:12:24.325,1:12:25.325
What do you got?

1:12:25.784,1:12:28.742
Prosecution's case is based on a theory.

1:12:30.359,1:12:31.582
The needle in the bag,

1:12:31.582,1:12:33.197
plus insulin on the needle,

1:12:33.625,1:12:36.612
- plus insulin in her blood.[br]- Right, right, yeah. Okay, fine.

1:12:37.421,1:12:40.629
In Derek, this Rhode Island supreme court,

1:12:40.799,1:12:41.799
these same judges,

1:12:42.551,1:12:46.544
said that in a case based[br]on circumstantial theory,

1:12:47.890,1:12:49.551
the case falls apart

1:12:50.392,1:12:52.474
if any part of the theory is weak.

1:12:53.362,1:12:55.105
If there's a weak link in the chain,

1:12:55.105,1:12:56.805
then you throw the whole chain out?

1:12:56.940,1:12:57.940
Exactly.

1:12:59.985,1:13:01.641
Peter, that's very... that's good.

1:13:01.695,1:13:03.140
That... that's very good.

1:13:07.326,1:13:08.676
Oh, yeah, this is good.

1:13:09.078,1:13:10.238
- Thank you. - Oh, yeah.

1:13:10.316,1:13:12.164
Wait, wait, wait.[br]What do you want me to do now?

1:13:12.164,1:13:13.123
What I want you to do?

1:13:13.123,1:13:15.960
I want you to find as many[br]alternative theories as possible.

1:13:16.043,1:13:17.043
Hey! Hey, hey!

1:13:17.169,1:13:19.879
Come on, come on, come on.[br]There's only seven days left.

1:13:24.343,1:13:26.959
Dersh? I'm sorry, but you[br]better come downstairs.

1:13:28.347,1:13:30.759
Hey, Dersh. Sorry to get you out of bed.

1:13:32.129,1:13:34.269
What do you...[br]what do you want, more money?

1:13:34.269,1:13:35.269
Can you get more?

1:13:37.523,1:13:39.473
Can I have a glass of water, please?

1:13:43.612,1:13:44.612
No.

1:13:44.863,1:13:45.863
The reason I'm here,

1:13:46.198,1:13:47.813
my affidavit is inaccurate.

1:13:52.287,1:13:54.278
Great. Just what I need right now.

1:13:55.874,1:13:56.954
- That's swell. - Yeah.

1:13:58.252,1:14:00.868
I left something out, something[br]incredibly important.

1:14:02.423,1:14:05.631
Remember I gave Alex's drugs[br]to a woman at Clarendon Court?

1:14:06.760,1:14:07.760
Yeah. So?

1:14:08.011,1:14:10.502
Well, that bitch was[br]definitely Sunny von Bülow.

1:14:12.558,1:14:14.139
David...

1:14:14.977,1:14:15.977
This, uh...

1:14:17.062,1:14:18.393
This is bad. It looks bad.

1:14:18.730,1:14:21.722
I've met with you, what, five times now?[br]All of a sudden...

1:14:21.900,1:14:23.265
No, it's not sudden.

1:14:24.194,1:14:26.321
I think I always knew,[br]but I became convinced

1:14:26.321,1:14:27.857
by staring at pictures of her.

1:14:31.910,1:14:34.500
Well, we can't use your[br]affidavit unless it's truthful.

1:14:34.955,1:14:36.165
Are you sure this time?

1:14:36.206,1:14:37.206
I swear...

1:14:38.041,1:14:40.032
On the body and soul of my mother.

1:14:41.628,1:14:42.628
Poor woman.

1:14:45.679,1:14:47.468
Put in this change and make him go over

1:14:47.468,1:14:48.953
every word of the affidavit.

1:14:50.429,1:14:51.429
Uh...

1:14:51.638,1:14:53.174
Can I use your men's room?

1:15:04.359,1:15:05.503
More money?

1:15:05.527,1:15:07.007
Can you get more?

1:15:12.784,1:15:14.775
But if Claus had injected her,

1:15:14.995,1:15:17.039
he'd have thrown away the needle, right?

1:15:17.039,1:15:19.121
Sure. If he threw away the insulin,

1:15:20.000,1:15:21.000
why keep the needle?

1:15:21.210,1:15:23.421
Hey, Claus is strange,[br]but he ain't stupid.

1:15:24.129,1:15:25.209
He is arrogant.

1:15:25.714,1:15:26.544
Is that a crime?

1:15:26.715,1:15:28.195
Sometimes.

1:15:28.300,1:15:30.165
Why are we even discussing this?

1:15:30.385,1:15:32.296
It's obvious. The kids framed him.

1:15:32.471,1:15:34.553
Whoa, you changed your tune.

1:15:37.809,1:15:39.845
A frame-up doesn't mean he's innocent.

1:15:40.771,1:15:42.936
The kids could have framed a guilty man.

1:15:43.982,1:15:44.982
Dersh!

1:15:45.150,1:15:46.150
Telephone!

1:15:49.821,1:15:50.981
It's Peter Macintosh.

1:15:52.241,1:15:53.241
Yeah?

1:15:58.914,1:15:59.914
You know what it is?

1:16:03.001,1:16:04.001
Okay.

1:16:08.590,1:16:11.041
Word in Rhode Island is[br]that the state can't lose.

1:16:11.176,1:16:12.836
They got an Ace up their sleeve.

1:16:13.679,1:16:14.679
What is it?

1:16:17.641,1:16:19.371
He's going to try to find out.

1:16:21.770,1:16:23.140
All right, my friend...

1:16:23.188,1:16:24.268
Friend? I like that.

1:16:24.439,1:16:25.439
Nothing personal.

1:16:26.358,1:16:28.189
Okay, no students, no witnesses.

1:16:28.694,1:16:30.204
Second coma. Let's hear it.

1:16:30.862,1:16:31.862
Well, Alan,

1:16:32.069,1:16:34.695
strange as it may seem[br]now in retrospect...

1:16:34.700,1:16:35.867
Claus, cut the bullshit.

1:16:35.867,1:16:37.403
December 20, 1980.

1:16:40.581,1:16:41.787
Sunny was unwell.

1:16:42.207,1:16:45.290
We'd been arguing all afternoon.

1:16:46.044,1:16:49.127
I'd at last been offered a new[br]position in the oil business,

1:16:49.298,1:16:52.265
which would have meant my[br]spending some time in Europe.

1:16:56.513,1:16:58.469
Well, the discussion must have escalated,

1:16:58.640,1:17:00.676
because I went to talk to the children.

1:17:03.020,1:17:06.262
This cargo will bring 50,000 gold florins

1:17:06.440,1:17:08.020
from any rebels worth the name.

1:17:08.025,1:17:09.390
50,000 florins?

1:17:09.568,1:17:11.229
That's a pretty good take.

1:17:11.462,1:17:12.654
Let's put it to the vote.

1:17:12.654,1:17:13.814
All those in favor...

1:17:13.989,1:17:16.401
If you'll forgive my[br]interrupting, skipper,

1:17:16.742,1:17:18.403
I'd like to think before I...

1:17:21.246,1:17:24.238
L... I've something to tell you both.

1:17:24.583,1:17:27.503
We're heading for the biggest[br]and the best pirate days ever!

1:17:27.753,1:17:29.539
L...

1:17:33.759,1:17:34.759
It looks as if...

1:17:36.261,1:17:37.421
As though...

1:17:37.929,1:17:40.136
Mummy and I are going to have to split up,

1:17:41.933,1:17:44.766
because my work is something[br]she just cannot tolerate.

1:17:45.062,1:17:46.768
Mummy says things like that.

1:17:48.190,1:17:49.521
She always gets over it.

1:17:50.233,1:17:52.770
Yes, but this has been[br]going on for too long.

1:18:00.952,1:18:03.489
I'm going to Europe for a[br]few months in the new year,

1:18:05.666,1:18:07.536
and this will probably lead to a split.

1:18:07.584,1:18:08.584
Oh.

1:18:09.628,1:18:11.348
It's all right. She'll get over it.

1:18:14.641,1:18:17.552
Yeah, well, Alexander says that[br]conversation happened the next day.

1:18:17.552,1:18:19.373
Can you imagine anything more absurd

1:18:19.388,1:18:21.598
than announcing your[br]intention to divorce a woman

1:18:21.598,1:18:23.429
who's just fallen into a coma?

1:18:24.267,1:18:27.805
No. That evening, everything[br]seemed normal enough.

1:18:29.356,1:18:30.471
Not cheerful,

1:18:31.441,1:18:34.057
but then, we didn't usually[br]giggle at mealtimes.

1:18:35.237,1:18:37.944
Despite her doctor's[br]warnings about sweets,

1:18:38.115,1:18:41.107
the only thing Sunny[br]consumed was a sundae.

1:18:52.879,1:18:55.916
After supper, I went to finish[br]off some work in my study.

1:18:56.838,1:18:58.093
Well, what should we all do?

1:18:58.093,1:19:00.459
The others decided to[br]chat in the living room.

1:19:01.680,1:19:03.261
Ah, that would be lovely, but...

1:19:04.015,1:19:06.802
First I need to go to my...[br]To my room for just a minute.

1:19:21.283,1:19:23.490
After about an hour, I dropped in on them.

1:19:28.331,1:19:30.311
Darling, would you care for anything?

1:19:31.960,1:19:32.960
Mmm...

1:19:34.463,1:19:36.704
If there's some...

1:19:37.924,1:19:39.334
Chicken bullion left.

1:19:43.722,1:19:44.722
I'll look.

1:20:00.071,1:20:01.521
There you are, darling.

1:20:11.541,1:20:12.541
Thank you.

1:20:20.759,1:20:23.091
How is your work... coming?

1:20:23.261,1:20:24.401
I'm totally flummoxed.

1:20:24.429,1:20:26.809
I can't get the figures to make any sense.

1:20:29.851,1:20:31.827
Why don't you call your friend Deborah?

1:20:32.979,1:20:34.824
I doubt she'd be in Saturday night.

1:20:39.486,1:20:42.899
So, Deborah, I think you'll agree,[br]that's 728... right, now.

1:20:43.490,1:20:44.650
But Deborah was home,

1:20:44.741,1:20:47.153
and we did talk for some time until...

1:20:48.620,1:20:49.620
- Claus. - Hold on.

1:20:49.663,1:20:51.133
Come quick. Mummy's not well.

1:20:51.665,1:20:54.122
Deborah, can I call you back[br]in the morning? Thanks.

1:20:54.543,1:20:57.916
Her voice got very weak and she almost fell down.[br]I had to help her.

1:21:08.640,1:21:10.176
Somebody open a window.

1:21:13.812,1:21:15.723
I find the chill reassuring.

1:21:20.735,1:21:22.225
Now I must speak with Claus.

1:21:22.404,1:21:23.844
- Night, mummy. - Night.

1:21:29.035,1:21:30.035
Good night, darling.

1:21:32.914,1:21:33.914
Good night, Alex.

1:21:34.708,1:21:35.868
She'll be all right.

1:21:45.594,1:21:47.755
That is, if Claus has time to talk.

1:21:48.315,1:21:49.510
Or are you going to work

1:21:49.514,1:21:51.755
every spare moment right[br]through Christmas?

1:21:52.809,1:21:53.809
Hmm?

1:21:55.562,1:21:57.393
Is your work really so fascinating,

1:21:57.874,1:21:59.399
or are you trying to drive me away?

1:21:59.399,1:22:01.610
Because if you are, it's[br]succeeding beautifully,

1:22:01.610,1:22:02.910
because I don't want this.

1:22:03.820,1:22:05.380
I didn't marry you for this.

1:22:06.072,1:22:07.392
I could have had anybody.

1:22:07.532,1:22:09.022
With my money? Anybody.

1:22:10.660,1:22:11.660
Well?

1:22:12.829,1:22:13.829
Say something!

1:22:16.249,1:22:17.249
Do something!

1:22:18.585,1:22:19.585
Be a man!

1:22:21.588,1:22:22.953
I already have a Butler.

1:22:28.011,1:22:29.011
Do something!

1:22:30.263,1:22:32.675
I don't want this! I don't!

1:22:32.849,1:22:34.009
I don't want this!

1:22:34.976,1:22:35.976
Please! I don't...

1:22:36.269,1:22:37.600
I don't want th...

1:22:39.522,1:22:41.979
The same conversation[br]as the previous year,

1:22:42.400,1:22:44.356
only this time with greater venom.

1:22:44.527,1:22:46.087
You've always been afraid of me.

1:22:46.363,1:22:47.803
It's not because of my money.

1:22:48.239,1:22:50.269
It's basically because you're a coward.

1:22:51.076,1:22:53.262
Because your pitiful[br]masculinity is so fragile

1:22:53.286,1:22:55.368
you can't stand the idea of confrontation,

1:22:55.538,1:22:57.870
so you go off with miss Botsky...

1:22:58.041,1:22:59.041
Good night.

1:23:14.766,1:23:16.176
Hey! Hey.

1:23:17.227,1:23:19.934
As was usual, I was awakened before dawn.

1:23:26.236,1:23:28.522
I let the dogs out, as was customary.

1:23:33.488,1:23:35.078
I went back through the bedroom

1:23:35.078,1:23:37.911
to my study as quietly as possible.

1:23:43.670,1:23:46.082
I did not notice if my wife was in bed.

1:23:46.423,1:23:49.790
I did not notice if the light[br]was on under the bathroom door.

1:23:50.301,1:23:53.008
Had it been on, I wouldn't[br]have given it a thought.

1:23:53.930,1:23:56.387
I did my exercises, showered,

1:23:56.683,1:23:58.548
and then I called Deborah Knowles.

1:23:59.102,1:24:01.514
Well, I mean, it's stable[br]and it's profitable.

1:24:02.814,1:24:04.270
Can anyone really believe,

1:24:04.441,1:24:06.602
if I was trying to murder my wife,

1:24:06.776,1:24:10.360
that I would spend an hour going[br]over a tedious set of figures?

1:24:12.032,1:24:14.484
After the call, I passed[br]through the bedroom again.

1:24:14.534,1:24:15.990
I remember it was freezing.

1:24:16.286,1:24:18.698
By this time, Sunny was[br]certainly not in bed,

1:24:19.289,1:24:21.450
and I heard water running in the bathroom.

1:24:25.003,1:24:27.961
I had breakfast, walked the dogs,

1:24:28.548,1:24:29.583
and on my return,

1:24:29.841,1:24:31.797
asked the children where mummy was.

1:24:33.094,1:24:34.534
Has mummy had breakfast yet?

1:24:35.597,1:24:36.597
We haven't seen her.

1:24:41.394,1:24:42.394
Sunny?

1:24:44.481,1:24:46.563
Her bathroom was her private sanctuary.

1:24:46.983,1:24:49.725
No one entered it, except[br]the maid, of course,

1:24:49.903,1:24:50.903
to clean up.

1:24:51.905,1:24:54.817
Sometimes she stayed there[br]for hours, or so it seemed.

1:24:55.408,1:24:58.992
One can only speculate what[br]goes on behind a closed door.

1:24:59.245,1:25:00.485
Sunny, are you there?

1:25:02.207,1:25:04.072
I hesitated even to knock.

1:25:07.128,1:25:08.128
Darling?

1:25:24.604,1:25:25.604
Sunny?

1:25:28.108,1:25:29.223
Oh, god.

1:25:30.902,1:25:32.893
Once I'd ascertained she was breathing,

1:25:33.071,1:25:34.902
I went to fetch Alexander.

1:25:35.824,1:25:37.490
Why not call an ambulance first?

1:25:37.700,1:25:39.861
Panic, Alan, panic.

1:25:40.328,1:25:41.328
I mean, I... il...

1:25:42.413,1:25:45.360
I... l needed to talk to somebody.[br]There...

1:25:47.252,1:25:48.833
She was breathing normally.

1:25:49.003,1:25:51.494
It wasn't...[br]it wasn't like the year before.

1:25:52.757,1:25:54.873
I mean, in retrospect it seems absurd,

1:25:55.051,1:25:58.088
but I looked at her upper[br]lip, she had blood on it.

1:25:58.093,1:25:59.597
I thought she'd broken a tooth.

1:25:59.597,1:26:01.838
That was the extent of my concern,

1:26:02.892,1:26:03.892
and that's...

1:26:04.519,1:26:06.329
That's really all... all I can...

1:26:06.855,1:26:08.335
That's really all I can say.

1:26:10.567,1:26:11.932
Yeah, but is it the truth?

1:26:12.360,1:26:13.440
Of course.

1:26:13.778,1:26:15.018
But not the whole truth?

1:26:15.613,1:26:18.025
I don't know the whole truth.

1:26:18.283,1:26:20.695
I don't know what happened to her.

1:26:20.910,1:26:22.375
Wish I didn't believe you.

1:26:22.954,1:26:26.154
You know, it's very hard to trust[br]someone you don't understand.

1:26:28.585,1:26:30.205
You're a very strange man.

1:26:31.880,1:26:33.336
You have no idea.

1:26:42.140,1:26:43.140
Everybody here?

1:26:43.224,1:26:45.835
Peter Macintosh is late.[br]Says he's got bad news.

1:26:47.896,1:26:48.896
There he is.

1:27:02.452,1:27:03.452
Well?

1:27:04.579,1:27:06.069
I found out what the state has.

1:27:06.247,1:27:07.783
Mm-hm. = their Ace in the hole.

1:27:09.167,1:27:10.167
It's you.

1:27:12.462,1:27:13.462
It's me?

1:27:13.838,1:27:17.422
David Marriott taped all his[br]conversations with you.

1:27:17.759,1:27:18.759
Oh, great.

1:27:20.053,1:27:24.262
The scuttlebutt is, if we win[br]the case, you go to prison.

1:27:25.683,1:27:26.683
What did I say?

1:27:27.769,1:27:30.922
Good ol' corrupt Rhode Island, I[br]got a friend to get me an excerpt.

1:27:31.105,1:27:32.705
The reason I'm here,

1:27:33.191,1:27:34.601
my affidavit is inaccurate.

1:27:35.610,1:27:37.942
David, this is bad. It looks bad.

1:27:38.196,1:27:39.436
What, you want more money?

1:27:40.240,1:27:41.720
Can you get more?

1:27:42.450,1:27:43.450
Yeah.

1:27:44.619,1:27:46.530
Hey, that is not what I said.

1:27:46.594,1:27:47.603
It's on tape, Alan.

1:27:47.622,1:27:50.052
I don't care if it's on[br]tape, it's not what I said.

1:27:50.083,1:27:51.553
What do we do? =I don't know.

1:27:55.774,1:27:58.049
I... I'll tell you what we do.[br]We ignore it, that's what we...

1:27:58.049,1:28:00.355
Alan, with that tape,[br]it's your whole career.

1:28:02.971,1:28:05.462
I now believe Claus is innocent. So.

1:28:05.890,1:28:09.223
We've decided, no tricks,[br]no technicalities.

1:28:09.394,1:28:10.930
We are going to base our appeal

1:28:11.104,1:28:14.517
directly and explicitly[br]on Claus' innocence.

1:28:14.941,1:28:15.941
That's not proper.

1:28:16.109,1:28:18.350
An appeal has to be based[br]on judicial error.

1:28:18.421,1:28:20.488
It is. The judge should've[br]thrown out the case.

1:28:20.488,1:28:22.532
How can you say there was[br]insufficient evidence

1:28:22.532,1:28:23.812
when a jury convicted him?

1:28:23.812,1:28:26.202
- That's a good point, but...[br]- But that's what we are saying.

1:28:26.202,1:28:28.409
If the rules don't work, you change them.

1:28:29.205,1:28:31.491
Red Auerbach got the[br]jump ball rule changed

1:28:31.506,1:28:33.251
when the Celtics had a short team.

1:28:33.251,1:28:35.169
Uh, but it's dangerous politically, Alan.

1:28:35.169,1:28:37.130
If the judges feel insulted,[br]then we're gonna find...

1:28:37.130,1:28:40.497
Wait up, here. State Supreme Court[br]shouldn't even look at an appeal

1:28:40.675,1:28:42.095
based on new evidence.

1:28:43.511,1:28:46.628
Hey, guys, I'll take care of that, okay?

1:28:46.973,1:28:48.724
You just... you leave it to me.

1:28:50.226,1:28:51.986
Look, I know you're all exhausted.

1:28:52.228,1:28:54.435
We got four days left.

1:28:54.996,1:28:57.108
What we do now is going[br]to decide this thing.

1:28:57.108,1:28:58.627
Do you wanna win, or not?

1:28:58.651,1:28:59.731
Alan! = what?

1:28:59.902,1:29:02.174
- We've got something.[br]- We've hit the jackpot.

1:29:02.905,1:29:05.817
Our needles that had[br]amobarbital and valium...

1:29:05.992,1:29:06.992
But no insulin...

1:29:07.076,1:29:10.113
Both came back with[br]false positive readings

1:29:10.330,1:29:11.160
for insulin.

1:29:11.331,1:29:12.537
Okay.

1:29:12.707,1:29:14.368
One was 93, the other 282.

1:29:14.542,1:29:17.204
We've knocked out every piece[br]of their medical case.

1:29:20.100,1:29:21.090
Good work, good work.

1:29:21.090,1:29:23.923
Okay, now, now all they've[br]got left is my neck.

1:29:25.053,1:29:27.294
Anybody know anything about[br]editing audio tapes?

1:29:37.023,1:29:38.854
Defense! For what, defense!

1:29:39.025,1:29:40.105
- Come on! - Come on!

1:29:50.411,1:29:51.411
All right, Alan.

1:29:52.538,1:29:53.818
- Come on! - Hey!

1:29:53.956,1:29:54.956
Hurry up!

1:29:55.583,1:29:57.263
- What's going on? - Pass it, Alan.

1:29:57.752,1:30:00.118
I got it. Wait a minute.[br]I got it, I got it.

1:30:00.296,1:30:01.816
- Where's raj? - He's upstairs.

1:30:02.173,1:30:03.813
- Where you going? - Alan!

1:30:04.425,1:30:06.882
Raj, raj, I got it.

1:30:07.553,1:30:08.553
I got it.

1:30:08.805,1:30:09.805
Remember Maria?

1:30:10.306,1:30:12.066
She could have said it like this...

1:30:12.225,1:30:13.225
Insulin?

1:30:15.478,1:30:16.968
For what, insulin?

1:30:18.731,1:30:20.813
My lady is not diabetic.

1:30:21.150,1:30:24.313
You see? "My lady is not diabetic.”

1:30:25.071,1:30:27.778
She is assuming that the bag is Sunny's.

1:30:28.324,1:30:30.406
Her first reaction, instantaneous,

1:30:30.576,1:30:32.627
not part of a legal[br]strategy devised later,

1:30:32.627,1:30:34.247
is that the stuff in the black bag

1:30:34.247,1:30:35.783
belonged to Sunny, not Claus.

1:30:35.957,1:30:37.637
Who's gonna know better than she?

1:30:37.917,1:30:38.917
Start writing.

1:30:40.294,1:30:43.161
You are not god, you are a prosecutor,

1:30:43.339,1:30:45.671
and Alabama cannot execute[br]those Johnson kids

1:30:45.842,1:30:47.428
before the supreme court rules!

1:30:47.483,1:30:49.345
That... that's right! You heard me right.

1:30:49.345,1:30:51.406
You've got two hours to[br]get to Rhode Island.

1:30:51.431,1:30:52.432
You're gonna have to speed.

1:30:52.432,1:30:53.558
You want me to commit a crime?

1:30:53.558,1:30:55.101
Of course not! Because if you[br]do, they're gonna stop you,

1:30:55.101,1:30:56.477
you're not gonna make the deadline.

1:30:56.477,1:30:59.393
I'm telling you right now, buddy,[br]those kids fry, you're next!

1:30:59.393,1:31:00.440
You forgot your jacket.

1:31:00.440,1:31:01.440
You're damn right!

1:31:02.233,1:31:04.849
Some startling developments[br]in the von Bülow case.

1:31:05.194,1:31:07.310
Harvard law school[br]professor Alan Dershowitz

1:31:07.405,1:31:09.942
had been accused of paying[br]for falsified testimony,

1:31:10.491,1:31:12.657
but those accusations[br]were discredited today

1:31:12.702,1:31:14.482
by the Rhode Island Attorney General,

1:31:14.495,1:31:17.232
who announced that David[br]Marriott's tape was doctored

1:31:17.373,1:31:19.910
and that Marriott is not[br]a reliable witness.

1:31:20.460,1:31:21.860
So, what was he up to, Alan?

1:31:22.378,1:31:23.584
Who was he working for?

1:31:24.046,1:31:25.046
Damned if I know.

1:31:29.260,1:31:31.370
Hope they don't think[br]he was working for you.

1:31:31.381,1:31:32.513
Alan, no one's going to think...

1:31:32.513,1:31:34.549
Look, I don't think you did it, okay?

1:31:35.725,1:31:37.291
But at the Chinese restaurant,

1:31:37.560,1:31:39.196
you did duck the big question.

1:31:39.270,1:31:41.056
Chuck is our Alexandra isles expert.

1:31:43.149,1:31:44.685
Sunny's aspirin overdose...

1:31:49.405,1:31:51.862
What happened? Sunny had a headache?

1:31:54.869,1:31:58.612
Headache... was Alexandra, right?

1:32:03.336,1:32:04.336
Let's hear it, Claus.

1:32:07.173,1:32:08.834
Alexandra was spiteful.

1:32:10.593,1:32:14.836
On the day of Sunny's aspirin overdose,

1:32:15.932,1:32:18.765
she returned some presents I'd given her,

1:32:18.935,1:32:20.675
some photographs...

1:32:21.521,1:32:22.521
Love letters.

1:32:24.440,1:32:26.726
She dropped them off in a shopping bag.

1:32:27.902,1:32:28.902
Did Sunny see them?

1:32:30.112,1:32:31.147
Sunny was home.

1:32:32.406,1:32:33.406
I was not.

1:32:34.951,1:32:38.944
Alexandra neglected to[br]address the package to me.

1:32:39.664,1:32:42.776
I want to be left alone with all those beau...[br]beautiful letters.

1:32:43.251,1:32:46.581
What did you do with those letters?[br]Why did you write those letters?

1:32:48.756,1:32:51.839
There's a big difference between[br]knowing about an affair

1:32:52.760,1:32:55.672
and having love letters[br]crammed down your throat.

1:32:57.932,1:33:00.302
It seems that Sunny did[br]care about your affair.

1:33:00.893,1:33:01.893
She cared a lot.

1:33:05.731,1:33:07.131
Why didn't you tell us?

1:33:08.609,1:33:10.194
Everything was open book.

1:33:11.654,1:33:13.315
"Get the best experts.

1:33:13.698,1:33:15.383
I'm not afraid of the truth.”

1:33:20.371,1:33:23.659
Looks to me like Alexandra tried[br]to force Sunny into a suicide.

1:33:26.502,1:33:27.992
Or they plotted it together.

1:33:29.880,1:33:31.960
Either way, he's protecting Alexandra,

1:33:32.231,1:33:33.968
because he's still in love with her.

1:33:33.968,1:33:34.968
And why not?

1:33:35.428,1:33:36.768
I mean, hey, she's a babe.

1:33:39.348,1:33:40.713
"Course I still love her.

1:33:43.728,1:33:44.728
And hate her.

1:33:47.189,1:33:51.102
Alexandra, Sunny, Andrea...

1:33:54.363,1:33:55.398
I love them all.

1:34:03.664,1:34:06.371
Being a human being is very literal.

1:34:06.917,1:34:07.917
You're trapped.

1:34:08.294,1:34:10.501
Time moves in only one direction,

1:34:10.880,1:34:11.880
forward.

1:34:12.048,1:34:13.879
It's stupid and boring

1:34:14.050,1:34:15.790
and results in a lot of silliness.

1:34:16.135,1:34:18.751
Example, the legal process.

1:34:20.556,1:34:22.046
In this particular case,

1:34:22.224,1:34:25.887
a vast amount of time,[br]effort, and money was spent

1:34:26.062,1:34:28.394
trying to determine[br]precisely what happened

1:34:28.564,1:34:30.976
on those two nights so close to Christmas,

1:34:31.317,1:34:36.482
December 26th, 1979, December 20th, 1980.

1:34:38.157,1:34:39.317
Happened right here.

1:34:41.243,1:34:44.326
Even now it all looks the same,

1:34:45.081,1:34:48.414
feels the same, smells the same.

1:34:49.502,1:34:52.915
If you could just go back[br]in time and take a peek,

1:34:53.506,1:34:54.506
you'd know,

1:34:56.384,1:34:58.500
and all this would be unnecessary.

1:34:58.886,1:34:59.886
All rise!

1:35:04.141,1:35:05.426
Hear ye, hear ye!

1:35:05.601,1:35:08.217
All persons having business[br]before the supreme court

1:35:08.396,1:35:11.383
holding in Providence within and[br]for the state of Rhode Island

1:35:11.440,1:35:12.555
may now draw near...

1:35:13.567,1:35:14.567
Then again,

1:35:15.569,1:35:17.480
everyone enjoys a circus.

1:35:18.906,1:35:19.906
Be seated.

1:35:22.785,1:35:25.056
If the appellant is[br]ready, you may proceed.

1:35:26.879,1:35:27.957
If it please the court,

1:35:27.957,1:35:30.664
oral argument will be made[br]by out-of-state counsel,

1:35:30.835,1:35:32.826
professor Alan Dershowitz.

1:35:42.638,1:35:43.638
Your honors,

1:35:44.140,1:35:46.472
you may not like Claus von Bülow.

1:35:47.309,1:35:49.220
You may think he is guilty of something,

1:35:49.395,1:35:51.807
but I am here to tell you he is innocent.

1:35:52.615,1:35:53.899
Our new evidence will clear...

1:35:53.899,1:35:57.767
Professor, you know there isn't[br]a single case which allows you

1:35:57.945,1:36:00.357
to introduce new evidence on appeal.

1:36:00.656,1:36:02.396
Well, there is one, your honor,

1:36:03.242,1:36:05.654
and you wrote it. Derek.

1:36:07.246,1:36:08.246
In Derek...

1:36:08.998,1:36:10.863
In Derek, you yourself said

1:36:11.333,1:36:15.167
that a case based on circumstantial[br]theory rather than fact

1:36:15.588,1:36:16.623
only stands up

1:36:16.797,1:36:19.163
if no other theory makes sense.

1:36:19.592,1:36:22.208
The only way to show a better theory

1:36:22.386,1:36:23.386
is to present it.

1:36:29.518,1:36:31.099
Get on with it, counselor.

1:36:36.564,1:36:38.110
I hope you will have the courage

1:36:38.110,1:36:39.691
to free an innocent man

1:36:39.862,1:36:41.853
and remedy a grave injustice.

1:36:42.448,1:36:43.608
This will never work.

1:36:44.200,1:36:45.565
Too smart for his own good.

1:36:46.660,1:36:48.116
Alan says it will work,

1:36:49.205,1:36:51.321
if the prosecutor takes the bait.

1:36:52.333,1:36:53.703
What do you mean, "bait"?

1:36:54.919,1:36:56.329
Argues the evidence.

1:36:57.546,1:36:58.365
Your honors,

1:36:58.380,1:37:01.042
introduction of new evidence on appeal

1:37:02.510,1:37:05.752
violates every principle of jurisprudence,

1:37:06.180,1:37:07.420
every statute,

1:37:08.182,1:37:10.673
every precedent, every rule of ethics.

1:37:10.880,1:37:12.728
Ah, he's nailing us right off the bat.

1:37:12.728,1:37:14.514
I am not going to stand before you

1:37:14.688,1:37:16.929
and argue Mr. von Bülow's guilt.

1:37:19.777,1:37:20.777
However,

1:37:21.195,1:37:24.187
I have no choice but to address Mr.[br]Dershowitz' arguments

1:37:24.365,1:37:25.365
one by one.

1:37:26.784,1:37:27.784
- Bingo. - First,

1:37:28.994,1:37:30.844
the matter of the encrusted needle...

1:37:32.164,1:37:34.780
So? Now it's up to the judges.

1:37:35.393,1:37:36.877
Tell me what you really think.

1:37:36.877,1:37:39.289
I think it's easier to love somebody

1:37:39.463,1:37:40.623
than to live with them.

1:37:42.716,1:37:44.206
Love is fantasy.

1:37:44.593,1:37:46.129
Living is work.

1:37:46.387,1:37:49.299
I'll say. And those people[br]don't like to work.

1:37:49.807,1:37:52.219
But, if you don't do the[br]work, the love dies,

1:37:52.560,1:37:54.596
and nobody wants to deal with that one.

1:37:54.895,1:37:56.335
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

1:37:56.981,1:37:57.981
The love died,

1:37:58.732,1:38:00.382
Sunny couldn't accept it...

1:38:01.402,1:38:03.063
So Claus tried to kill her?

1:38:03.237,1:38:04.237
Maybe.

1:38:04.572,1:38:05.572
I don't agree.

1:38:06.574,1:38:09.737
Face it, all we had to do was prove[br]the state made a lousy case.

1:38:09.990,1:38:11.990
We didn't prove that Claus was innocent.

1:38:11.996,1:38:14.415
We couldn't. We didn't have[br]to, and he probably isn't.

1:38:14.415,1:38:15.499
He isn't? You mean, you thi...

1:38:15.499,1:38:17.879
I mean, so, he didn't[br]inject Sunny with insulin.

1:38:18.127,1:38:20.743
So what? Break it down.[br]First coma, no problem.

1:38:20.921,1:38:24.004
Even the attending doctor thought[br]it was caused by hypoglycemia,

1:38:24.024,1:38:25.843
loss of air to the brain, and so on.

1:38:25.843,1:38:28.175
All right. But what about the second coma?

1:38:28.345,1:38:30.506
I mean, why does Claus act so guilty?

1:38:30.681,1:38:33.989
Hey, come on, wouldn't any man feel[br]guilty if his wife was suicidal?

1:38:34.351,1:38:37.514
Yeah, so, so maybe she[br]took the sleeping pills

1:38:37.688,1:38:39.543
with the intention of killing herself,

1:38:40.024,1:38:44.267
but how did she end up lying on a[br]marble floor in a freezing bathroom

1:38:44.445,1:38:46.315
with her head under the toilet bowl?

1:38:46.447,1:38:47.447
How about this?

1:39:35.871,1:39:37.452
Sunny wakes up miserable.

1:39:43.128,1:39:44.584
Second marriage is over.

1:39:44.755,1:39:46.245
Children are leaving home.

1:39:47.341,1:39:48.341
What's to live for?

1:42:01.767,1:42:03.257
But when she was found,

1:42:03.435,1:42:05.311
her nightgown was hiked over her waist.

1:42:05.312,1:42:07.724
Exactly. How did it get there?

1:42:09.399,1:42:11.619
Okay, let's say she's[br]standing at the sink.

1:42:11.902,1:42:12.902
She has to pee.

1:42:13.403,1:42:14.813
At exactly the same instant,

1:42:15.280,1:42:16.280
the drugs hit.

1:42:16.949,1:42:17.984
Body convulses.

1:42:18.408,1:42:19.989
She grabs the nightgown.

1:42:24.915,1:42:25.745
I don't buy that.

1:42:25.916,1:42:27.702
It does seem far-fetched.

1:42:28.377,1:42:29.583
So's the truth sometimes.

1:42:29.753,1:42:32.810
Oh, bull. I think she took the[br]barbiturates the previous night.

1:42:32.881,1:42:35.418
And, let's say he saw her take them,

1:42:36.176,1:42:39.589
or she told him she was going[br]to before they fell asleep.

1:42:48.188,1:42:51.146
This time, he wants her to succeed.

1:43:01.368,1:43:02.368
Sunny?

1:43:29.730,1:43:32.200
Maybe there's some way[br]he can help her along.

1:43:33.192,1:43:36.309
Of course, the open window.

1:43:37.321,1:43:38.811
Zero degrees.

1:43:40.324,1:43:41.985
But somebody might see her there.

1:43:43.243,1:43:46.451
The action of dragging her would[br]naturally pull up the nightgown.

1:44:16.902,1:44:19.735
In this cold, how long could she survive?

1:44:40.467,1:44:41.798
Remember what Sunny said?

1:44:43.136,1:44:44.857
"I would have been better off.

1:44:45.973,1:44:47.648
You would have been better off.”

1:44:52.354,1:44:54.845
Because the law is a blunt instrument.

1:44:55.023,1:44:57.685
It is not a rapier. It is a cudgel.

1:44:58.986,1:45:00.726
Tomorrow, death penalty,

1:45:01.245,1:45:03.156
which reminds me of the comedian who said,

1:45:03.156,1:45:05.450
"ll don't know why they[br]call it the death penalty.

1:45:05.450,1:45:07.611
That's no penalty.[br]You're out of the game!"

1:45:16.795,1:45:18.160
- Good news. - Great news.

1:45:18.505,1:45:19.465
And more good news.

1:45:19.506,1:45:20.676
The decision came down?

1:45:20.709,1:45:21.842
They just announced it.

1:45:21.842,1:45:22.592
Five-zip.

1:45:22.592,1:45:23.592
We murdered them.

1:45:24.553,1:45:25.553
Grounds?

1:45:25.553,1:45:27.055
Well, they got the Brillhoffer notes.

1:45:27.055,1:45:28.974
And that silly, silly[br]guilty man's argument,

1:45:28.974,1:45:29.975
search and seizure.

1:45:29.975,1:45:31.059
Federal or state? = both.

1:45:31.059,1:45:33.603
- That's important.[br]- Yeah, it's federal, they could appeal it

1:45:33.603,1:45:34.479
in the us supreme court.

1:45:34.479,1:45:36.899
But because it's Rhode[br]Island, they can't. We win.

1:45:37.733,1:45:40.444
Don"t... don't get too excited[br]until we see Brillhoffer's notes.

1:45:40.444,1:45:42.150
We destroyed their medical case,

1:45:42.154,1:45:44.281
but their witnesses still[br]carry emotional weight

1:45:44.281,1:45:45.591
if there's a second trial.

1:45:45.741,1:45:46.741
Unless...

1:45:47.534,1:45:50.594
The Brillhoffer notes show that[br]they've changed their stories.

1:45:51.330,1:45:52.330
Good afternoon, sir.

1:45:54.958,1:45:56.268
Let me get that for you.

1:45:56.793,1:45:57.793
Thank you.

1:46:11.475,1:46:12.915
You have Brillhoffer's notes?

1:46:13.268,1:46:14.268
Yes.

1:46:14.353,1:46:15.353
Well?

1:46:15.353,1:46:16.605
They're not what we hoped.

1:46:16.605,1:46:17.605
I knew it.

1:46:20.901,1:46:21.901
They're much better.

1:46:24.446,1:46:27.779
No one mentioned seeing insulin when[br]they first talked to Brillhoffer.

1:46:28.033,1:46:30.524
Plus... Maria told them

1:46:30.782,1:46:32.954
that at Thanksgiving, when[br]she supposedly saw insulin

1:46:32.954,1:46:33.830
for the first time,

1:46:33.830,1:46:35.207
she couldn't even read any of the labels.

1:46:35.207,1:46:36.597
They were all scraped off.

1:46:37.918,1:46:38.918
What does this mean?

1:46:39.002,1:46:40.002
It means

1:46:40.302,1:46:41.713
that if there is a second trial,

1:46:41.713,1:46:43.213
we can be reasonably confident

1:46:43.882,1:46:45.838
both the medical case and their witnesses

1:46:46.009,1:46:47.340
are now highly suspect.

1:46:47.511,1:46:49.672
Oh, god.

1:46:52.307,1:46:53.307
So...

1:47:10.033,1:47:11.033
Darling...

1:47:11.910,1:47:13.446
This is Alan Dershowitz.

1:47:13.829,1:47:14.944
Yes, I know. Hello.

1:47:15.789,1:47:16.824
Alan tells me...

1:47:17.374,1:47:19.615
Well, things look very hopeful.

1:47:21.336,1:47:23.016
I knew it would come out all right.

1:47:23.255,1:47:24.255
Thank you.

1:47:28.218,1:47:29.458
Yes, Alan, thank you.

1:47:29.636,1:47:31.046
I am eternally grateful.

1:47:31.221,1:47:33.532
Hey, this means we'll be[br]getting back your bail,

1:47:33.557,1:47:34.672
a million dollars.

1:47:35.392,1:47:37.223
Uh, I know I still owe you, Alan.

1:47:39.187,1:47:40.802
Please send me your bill.

1:47:42.190,1:47:44.146
And maybe when you're in New York,

1:47:44.317,1:47:45.317
uh, we can...

1:47:46.570,1:47:48.401
We can meet for lunch. I'd enjoy that.

1:47:49.573,1:47:50.573
One thing, Claus...

1:47:51.366,1:47:53.556
Legally, this was an important victory.

1:47:54.035,1:47:55.696
Morally, you're on your own.

1:48:08.758,1:48:11.716
Claus von Bülow was given a second trial

1:48:12.053,1:48:14.044
and acquitted on both counts.

1:48:16.391,1:48:18.052
This is all you can know...

1:48:19.811,1:48:21.267
All you can be told.

1:48:22.606,1:48:24.142
When you get where I am,

1:48:25.317,1:48:26.927
you will know the rest.

1:48:59.851,1:49:01.307
Two packs of vantage, please.

1:49:09.945,1:49:10.945
Anything else?

1:49:12.531,1:49:13.941
Yes, a vial of insulin.

1:49:21.414,1:49:22.414
Just kidding.
