Law & Order 1x7

1. BY TWO SEPARATE

2. THE POLICE, WHO INVESTIGATE CRIME

3. AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS WHO PROSECUTE THE OFFENDERS.

4. THESE ARE THEIR STORIES.

5. SO WE WENT TO THIS PLACE YOU KNOW, THIS S.R.O.

6. IT'S UP ON 113th STREET.

7. AND WE HEAR THIS GUY

8. MUFFLED-LIKE, GOING, "HELP! HELP!"

9. BUT INSIDE SOMEPLACE.

10. WE SEARCH.

11. WE CAN'T FIND THIS GUY.

12. I MEAN, THIS ROOM IS MAYBE 12 BY 12.

13. THERE'S NOT A LOT OF SPACE TO HIDE.

14. CAN'T FIND HIM

15. UNTIL HANDLER LOOKS UP AND SEES THIS GUY—

16. JAYBIRD NAKED—

17. GAFFER-TAPED TO THE CEILING.

18. HEY! HEY!

19. MY DOG— HE JUST FOUND SOMETHING DOWN THERE.

20. I THINK IT'S A GUY OR SOMETHING.

21. I DON'T KNOW.

22. HE'S DEAD OR HURT.

23. OH, MY GOD.

24. SOMEBODY...

25. RIGHT DOWN THERE.

26. BACK HERE?

27. IT'S RIGHT OVER HERE.

28. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS A GLOVE OR SOMETHING.

29. AND, UH...

30. LOOK AT IT.

31. Walkie-talkie: 186 Lincoln...

32. READY TO LIFT?

33. YEAH.

44. HE'S GOT A SHOT.

45. LET ME SHOW YOU.

46. THERE'S A HAIRLINE FRACTURE

47. AND SUBDURAL HEMATOMA.

48. BAD ENOUGH, BUT IT LOOKS WORSE THAN IT IS.

49. RIGHT, JUST A LOVE TAP.

50. THEY WEREN'T TRYING TO KILL HIM.

51. HIS FAMILY WILL FIND THAT COMFORTING.

52. THE HEAD ISN'T AS BAD AS THE HEART ATTACK.

53. HEART ATTACK?

54. CAUSED BY THE BLOW?

55. IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL.

56. HE COULD HAVE HAD THE HEART ATTACK FIRST.

57. BUT THERE IS ONE ODD THING.

58. YEAH?

59. HIS UNDERPANTS

60. WERE ON BACKWARDS.

61. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

105. I WOULDN'T GO NEAR ONE LIKE THAT.

106. I MEAN, FIRST IT'S "DON'T TOUCH, DON'T TOUCH."

107. AND THEN IT'S, "WHY NOT? WHY NOT?"

108. HUH?

109. DID YOU THINK THEY WERE GOING TO SWIM

110. OR JUST SIT ON THE BEACH?

111. SHE WASN'T INTERESTED.

112. THE GUY WAS IN HEAT.

113. HE'S PAWING HER.

303. I WAS...

304. UPSTATE.

305. MAX.

306. HOSPITAL JUST CALLED.

307. DIAMOND HAD ANOTHER CORONARY.

308. HE'S DEAD.

309. I SURE HOPE YOU HAVE A PLANE TICKET.

310. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

311. I DIDN'T REALIZE HE WAS STILL ALIVE.

312. I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD.

313. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE DIE BEFORE.

314. JUST TELL US WHAT HAPPENED.

315. I CALLED MY DRIVER.

316. HE WAS WAITING FOR ME IN THE GARAGE.

317. HE TOLD ME TO SPLIT.

318. SO, I WENT HOME.

319. YOU DIDN'T TRY TO GIVE HIM C.P.R.?

320. I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS STILL ALIVE.

321. HE WASN'T BREATHING.

322. I GOT SCARED, OKAY?

323. I WOULD NEVER JUST LEAVE SOMEBODY TO DIE.

324. DO YOU THINK HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL RIGHT?

325. HOW DID HE GET TO CENTRAL PARK?

326. I DON'T KNOW.

327. YOU'D HAVE TO ASK COOKIE.

328. COOKIE MOLINA.

329. THE DRIVER.

330. WHERE CAN WE FIND HIM?

331. IN HIS CAR, I GUESS.

332. HE WORKS OUT AT THE WEST END GARAGE.

333. YOU GUYS KNOW A GUY NAMED COOKIE?

334. YEAH, HE'S RIGHT OVER THERE.

335. YO! COOKIE MOLINA?

336. WHO WANTS TO KNOW?

345. MR. DIAMOND, THEY FOUND TINY WOODEN SLIVERS IN HIS HEAD.

346. SOMEBODY HIT HIM WITH SOMETHING.

347. LIKE A BAT.

348. COULD HAVE BEEN THIS BAT.

349. SINCE YOU DON'T KNOW MR. DIAMOND

350. WE'LL TAKE IT AND SEE WHAT TURNS UP.

351. THE GUY WAS DEAD BEFORE I HIT HIM.

352. HEART ATTACK.

353. WRONG ORDER, COOKIE.

354. HEART ATTACK, YOU HIT HIM, THEN HE DIED.

355. NO WAY. HE WAS HISTORY IN THE ROOM.

356. I'M AFRAID THE HOSPITAL WHERE HE CROAKED

357. WOULD DISAGREE.

358. WHY DON'T YOU JUST TALK IT THROUGH.

359. BLOW BY BLOW.

360. JOLENE BEEPS ME.

361. I GO UP.

362. JOHN'S LYING THERE.

363. HE AIN'T MOVING.

364. HE AIN'T BREATHING.

365. I CALL JASMINE...

366. JASMINE?

367. SHE RUNS THE DAY-TO-DAY.

368. I TELL HER WE GOT TROUBLE.

369. SHE PUTS ME ON HOLD, COMES BACK

370. AND SAYS, "DRESS THE GUY."

371. DIAMOND?

372. DIAMOND. PRETEND HE'S DRUNK.

373. TAKE HIM TO THE CAR, DUMP HIM SOMEPLACE.

374. MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A MUGGING.

375. SO, I DRIVE TO THE PARK, DUMP HIM.

376. TURN OUT HIS POCKETS

377. TOSS HIS KEY AND WALLET INTO THE BUSHES.

378. THEN YOU HIT HIM.

379. WHEN I TOLD JASMINE, SHE FREAKED.

380. "WHAT YOU DO THAT FOR?" SHE'S SCREAMING.

381. IT'S NOT MY FAULT.

382. SHE SAID MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A MUGGING.

383. YOU DID A GOOD JOB.

384. I CAN SEE THE FUTURE.

385. OH, YEAH?

386. YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO READ ME MY RIGHTS.

387. HELLO?

388. I'M JASMINE.

395. YEAH.

396. WELL, RELAX.

397. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A GOOD TIME.

398. DID THEY EXPLAIN THE RATES DOWNSTAIRS?

399. NO.

400. IT'S 250 AN HOUR.

401. I DON'T DO HALVES

402. AND I ONLY DO STRAIGHT SEX.

403. CONGRATULATIONS.

404. YOU JUST SAID THE MAGIC WORD.

405. LOOK AT ME.

406. I'M OVERWEIGHT.

407. SUPPOSE I HAD A BAD HEART LIKE DIAMOND.

408. DOESN'T THAT BOTHER YOU?

409. GIVE ME A BREAK.

410. DOES JACK LaLANNE ASK FOR A CARDIOGRAM?

411. JOHNS ARE BIG BOYS.

412. IF THEY CHOOSE TO GO

413. TO AN ESCORT SERVICE...

414. YOU MEAN WHOREHOUSE.

415. YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD HAVE SENT YOUR PARTNER.

416. I DON'T USUALLY DO DISCIPLINE

417. BUT I WOULD LOVE TO TEACH HIM SOME MANNERS.

418. IN AND OUT, JUST LIKE WORK, HUH?

419. I'M ONLY AS QUICK AS THE GUY I'M WITH.

420. YOU LOOK LIKE UNDER A MINUTE.

421. JOE.

422. HER LAWYER, THIS GUY AUCLAIR—

423. JUST SET A NEW RECORD, BAIL IN UNDER AN HOUR.

424. KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM?

425. DRESSES SHARP.

426. NEVER SEEN HIM AROUND BEFORE.

427. NOT A REGULAR PROSS-POPPER.

428. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

429. OF A HOOKER WHO'S GOT A LAWYER

430. WHO SPENDS MORE ON CLOTHES THAN I MAKE IN A YEAR?

431. I THINK WHOEVER'S PAYING HIS BILL

432. OUGHT TO ADOPT ME.

433. WHAT'S IT BEEN, EIGHT HOURS?

434. I HATE THIS.

435. WHAT HAVE WE GOT?

436. WELL, JASMINE'S LAWYER, ROGER AUCLAIR, ESQUIRE

437. HAS NEVER HANDLED A PROSS BUST BEFORE.

438. IN THE LAST THREE YEARS, AUCLAIR HANDLED

439. ONLY 34 CRIMINAL CASES.

440. NOTHING COMPLICATED.

441. ALL THE REST CORPORATE STUFF.

442. FAVORS FOR CORPORATE CLIENTS.

443. HE'S THE FIRM'S FIXER.

444. 19 DRUG-RELATED CHARGES

445. SEVEN LARCENY OR SHOPLIFTING, SIX ASSAULT—

446. WIFE-BEATING, HUSBAND-BEATING PET POODLE-BEATING.

447. MORE DROPPED CHARGES.

448. WHAT DO YOU SAY WE PACK IT IN

449. AND CATCH A COUPLE HOURS' SLEEP?

450. ROACH COACH IS OPEN.

451. LET'S GET SOME FRESH COFFEE.

452. FIVE POSSIBILITIES LEFT, MAX.

453. MIKE, WE SHOULD HAVE STARTED AT THE OTHER END OF THE PILE.

454. FOUR MONTHS AGO, AUCLAIR STARTS A THEFT OF SERVICES CASE

455. AGAINST A GUY NAMED STRINGFELLOW ON BEHALF OF...

456. POPPY CATERING.

457. STRINGFELLOW'S WIFE— SHE WON'T PAY THE BILL.

458. THIS IS THE PART OF THE JOB THAT I LIKE.

459. BEAUTIFUL, MAX.

460. YES, WE ARE BEING SUED BY POPPY CATERING

461. BUT, GENTLEMEN, THEY ARE NOT CATERERS.

462. THEY ARE WHORES.

463. WHORES MY HUSBAND USED.

464. AND CHARGED ON HIS GOLD CARD.

465. YES.

466. BUT I'M SURE I DON'T NEED TO REMIND YOU

467. THAT A CONTRACT ENTERED INTO FOR AN ILLEGAL ACT IS VOID.

468. IN ANY CASE, I CERTAINLY DO NOT INTEND TO PAY THIS BILL.

469. IT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF THE THING.

470. WHAT ABOUT THE PUBLICITY?

471. I HAD A LITTLE RESEARCH DONE.

472. THE WOMAN WHO IS RUNNING POPPY CATERING—

473. THIS WHOREHOUSE— IS A WINTHROP.

474. LAURA WINTHROP.

475. HER MOTHER IS A MATTHEWS.

476. I WENT TO SPENCE WITH HER.

477. LAURA IS A VERY CAPABLE WOMAN.

478. SHE HOLDS AN M.B.A. FROM HARVARD.

479. IMAGINE, MY HUSBAND PAID $1,000 FOR FOUR HOURS' SERVICE.

480. THAT'S ALMOST AS MUCH AS I'M PAYING MY DIVORCE LAWYER.

481. YOU GOT EVERYTHING?

482. YOU ALL SET?

483. WE GOT A WARRANT.

484. WHAT ELSE DO WE NEED?

485. YOU'RE CRANKY WHEN YOU DON'T SLEEP.

486. CRANKY? I LOVE THIS.

487. LET'S GO BUST...

488. POLICE, HERE TO SEE LAURA WINTHROP.

489. SEARCH WARRANT!

490. LAURA WINTHROP

491. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT

492. AND REFUSE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

493. HOW DOES THE DEFENDANT PLEAD?

494. NOT GUILTY, YOUR HONOR.

495. YOU ARE REQUESTING BAIL?

496. WE ARE.

497. MS. WINTHROP IS NOT

498. A FLIGHT RISK.

499. HOWEVER, THE DEFENDANT'S PROSTITUTION RING

500. IS ONE OF THE LARGEST UNCOVERED IN RECENT YEARS.

501. LISTEN UP, ANDREW

502. AND GET SOME POINTERS.

503. THIS IS ALLEGED TO BE AN EFFICIENTLY-RUN BUSINESS.

504. THOROUGHLY COMPUTERIZED.

505. THE CLIENT LIST INCLUDES DOCTORS

506. DIPLOMATS, C.E.O.s OF LARGE CORPORATIONS.

507. GET TO THE POINT.

508. DESPITE THE IMPRESSIVE LIST OF ASSETS

509. PROMOTING PROSTITUTION IS STILL MERELY A CLASS D FELONY.

510. WE REQUEST BAIL

511. COMMENSURATE WITH THE IMPACT

512. ON THE MORAL FIBER OF THIS COMMUNITY.

513. HEAR THAT, ANDREW?

514. FIBER.

515. I TOLD YOU

516. WE ALL NEED FIBER.

517. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I REALIZE IT'S LATE

518. AND ALL OF US WOULD RATHER BE SOMEWHERE ELSE.

519. SINCE WE ARE COMPELLED TO SPEND SOME TIME TOGETHER

520. PERHAPS WE COULD HAVE A LITTLE ORDER.

521. BAIL, $5,000.

522. WILL THIS AFFECT YOUR CATERING?

523. YES, AND THEY WEREN'T EVEN INVITED.

524. COUNSELOR

525. YOU'RE TREADING WATER.

526. MY CLIENT INVESTED IN THE CATERING BUSINESS.

527. SHE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH PROSTITUTION.

528. THE RECORDS WE GOT PROVE OTHERWISE.

529. CIRCUMSTANTIAL, AT BEST.

530. SEE YOU IN COURT.

531. IT STINKS.

532. D.A. AIN'T GOING TO GIVE YOU A TOTAL WALK.

533. YOU WANT TO NAIL WINTHROP?

534. I CAN SING YOU A TOP-TEN HIT

535. BUT I GOT TO SLIDE TO A MISDEMEANOR

536. AND TIME SERVED.

537. GIVE HIM THE WALK.

538. IF PEOPLE ONLY KNEW.

539. YOU KNOW HOW MANY JOHNS' HEADS

540. THIS JERK HAS PROBABLY HIT FUNGOS WITH?

541. I DON'T CARE IF HE'S THE DAMN SULTAN OF SWAT.

542. I'M OUT FOR BIGGER FISH, MAX.

543. HER OPERATION COULD KILL HUNDREDS.

544. THE DEAL'S APPROVED.

545. "MILLION-DOLLAR MADAME.

546. "BLUE BLOOD BUSTED IN PROSTITUTION RING.

547. COPS CALLED HER MADAME."

548. WHAT DO HER TELEPHONE RECORDS SAY?

549. NO CALLS TO OR FROM THE WHOREHOUSE.

550. SHE'S SMART.

551. BUT SLOPPY.

552. LAST FEBRUARY, THE HEAT WENT OFF IN THE WHOREHOUSE.

553. WINTHROP CALLED THE BUILDING MANAGER.

554. SHE WAS SNOBBY ON THE PHONE.

555. WHEN SHE CALLED

556. SHE IDENTIFIED HERSELF?

557. NOT JUST ON THE PHONE.

558. SHE CAME IN!

559. WOULD YOU LIKE SOME DANISH OR SOME COFFEE?

560. NO, THANKS.

561. WHAT A SCENE!

562. PLUMBERS ARE NOT THE EASIEST THING

563. TO GET IN NEW YORK CITY IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER.

564. IT TAKES TIME.

565. IT TAKES A LOT OF DOING.

566. BUT NOT FOR MISS IMPATIENCE, NO.

567. MAYBE IT'S EASIER IN HOITY-TOITY CONNECTICUT.

568. SHE SAID CONNECTICUT?

569. NO, SHE REMINDS ME OF MY SISTER-IN-LAW

570. FROM CONNECTICUT.

571. IS THIS THE WOMAN?

572. YEAH.

573. SHE EVEN LOOKS LIKE MY SISTER-IN LAW.

574. YOU COPY THE WHOLE TRICK BOOK?

575. JUST THE "A" LIST.

576. 15 NAMES, EACH WORTH OVER 100 MILL.

577. PHIPPS MACKENZIE, COLIN METCALF, DAVID HAMILTON

578. IT READS LIKE THE SOCIAL REGISTER.

579. ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE...

580. ANYONE AROUND MY BASE IS IT.

581. I UNDERSTAND YOUR POSITION.

582. BUT YOU UNDERSTAND THERE'S NO WAY I COULD TESTIFY.

583. I UNDERSTAND YOUR POSITION

584. BUT YOU'LL BE UNDER SUBPOENA.

585. I DON'T HAVE TO REMIND YOU THE PENALTY FOR PERJURY.

586. YOU PUT ME ON THE STAND AND I'LL MAKE SURE

587. YOU SPEND THE REST OF YOUR INSIGNIFICANT CAREER

588. PROSECUTING JAYWALKERS.

589. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, MR. HAMILTON.

590. AND I HOPE YOUR GRANDSON HAS A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

591. BEN!

592. LOOKING FOR A LUNCH DATE?

593. I DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE ON FOR LUNCH.

594. WE'RE NOT.

595. HELLO, PAUL.

596. STILL FLACKING FOR THE MAYOR?

597. THE MAYOR REALLY LOVES YOUR PARTNER, BEN

598. ESPECIALLY YOUR WORK ON PROSTITUTION.

599. HE THINKS YOU SHOULD HAVE

600. A BIGGER STAFF, A BIGGER BUDGET

601. A TASK FORCE.

602. SINCE CRACK HAS BECOME MUCH MORE VISIBLE

603. A MAJOR TASK FORCE, A MAJOR EFFORT.

604. WHAT DO YOU THINK, BEN?

605. YOU INTERESTED?

606. I THINK WE OUGHT TO PUT STOCKS, GUARDED AND HEATED

607. ALL THE WAY UP AND DOWN BROADWAY.

608. ANYONE CONVICTED FOR CRACK

609. GOES IN THOSE STOCKS

610. WEARING A DUNCE CUP

611. AND CLOWN NOSE.

612. THAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

613. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

614. IF THAT'S THE WAY

615. YOU WANT TO PLAY IT, BEN.

616. GENTLEMEN.

617. MS. WINTHROP'S FRIENDS ARE GETTING NERVOUS.

618. THEY'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR A SCAPEGOAT.

619. LIKE MAYBE JOLENE AND COOKIE CONSPIRED TO ROLL DIAMOND?

620. WE MUST MAKE SURE THAT JOLENE IS NOT CONNECTED TO COOKIE.

621. CHECK THE BAT.

622. MAKE SURE HER PRINTS AREN'T ON IT.

623. GET A SAMPLE OF HER BLOOD.

624. SEE IF THEY MATCH WITH THE BLOOD

625. ON COOKIE'S BAT.

626. ALL THE CLICHÉS ARE TRUE.

627. SUCH AS?

628. POLITICS MAKES STRANGE BEDFELLOWS.

629. MURDER TWO, THAT'S ABSURD.

630. DIAMOND DIED.

631. YOU CAN'T PROVE A BLOW TO THE HEAD.

632. I CAN PROVE RECKLESS DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE.

633. BULL!

634. WELL, LET'S SEE WHAT THE JURY HAS TO SAY.

635. COUNSELOR.

636. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

637. SHE'LL PLEAD TO PROMOTING PROSTITUTION.

638. I WANT HER TO DO TIME.

639. WHAT ARE YOU, A RELIGIOUS FANATIC?

640. AND MORE THAN ONE YEAR.

641. I WANT PRISON, NOT JAIL.

642. AUCLAIR WANTS TO MAKE A DEAL.

643. THAT THE LAB REPORT?

644. THE WOOD FOUND IN DIAMOND'S HEAD MATCHES...

645. COOKIE'S BAT.

646. THE BLOOD TYPE...

647. MATCH DIAMOND'S.

648. SOME OF IT.

649. THERE ARE OTHER TYPES.

650. SO WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

651. ALL THE LAB REPORTS CAME IN, INCLUDING JOLENE'S.

652. HER BLOOD WAS ON THE BAT?

653. NO, IT WASN'T THAT.

654. THERE'S A NEW BLIND SCREENING PROGRAM FOR H.I.V.

655. SHE'S GOT AIDS?

656. MAKES HER A HELL OF A COMPELLING WITNESS.

657. THE PUBLIC HEALTH ANGLE IS EXPLOSIVE.

658. ACTUALLY, I'M GLAD YOU CALLED, MR. STONE.

659. I'VE DECIDED NOT TO TESTIFY.

660. I'LL PLEAD TO THE PROSTITUTION CHARGE.

661. I'M SORRY. I REALLY AM.

662. I KNOW YOU WERE COUNTING ON MY TESTIMONY

663. BUT LAURA WINTHROP'S BEEN GOOD TO ME.

664. THAT'S NOT WHY WE'RE HERE.

665. IT'S NOT?

666. WHY?

667. THE BLOOD SAMPLE THAT WAS TAKEN...

668. IT BECAME PART OF A BLIND TEST.

669. WHAT KIND OF TEST?

670. AN AIDS TEST?

671. THEY DID AN H.I.V. TEST?

672. YES.

673. NO.

674. NO, I WAS TESTED...

675. TWO MONTHS AGO.

676. ALL POSITIVES ARE DOUBLE-CHECKED.

677. HEALTH FOOD.

678. WE GOT HER NAILED ON PROSTITUTION.

679. THE OTHER CHARGES ARE GOING TO PUT HER BEHIND BARS.

680. MY DAD USED TO SAY

681. UNLESS YOU'RE HOLDING A FULL HOUSE

682. CALL, DON'T RAISE.

683. HE WAS A PHILOSOPHER.

684. WITH JOLENE AND COOKIE, I'M STILL IN THE GAME.

685. SOUNDS LIKE A LOW PAIR.

686. YOUR WIFE HAS BEEN AN INVALID FOR 14 YEARS.

687. IS THAT CORRECT?

688. YES.

689. DURING THAT TIME

690. HAVE YOU HAD OCCASION

691. TO USE THE SERVICES OF PROSTITUTES?

692. YES.

693. HOW MANY?

694. MAYBE 2,000.

695. EVER USE THE SAME WOMAN TWICE?

696. NOT OFTEN.

697. MOST OF THE GIRLS WEREN'T WORTH USING ONCE, LET ALONE TWICE.

698. WHAT ABOUT JOLENE CURTIS?

699. JOLENE...

700. I USED HER WHENEVER SHE WAS AVAILABLE.

701. SHE'S VERY, VERY GOOD AT WHAT SHE DOES.

702. WHAT DOES SHE DO?

703. OH, SHE GETS YOU VERY, VERY EXCITED.

704. WHATEVER SHE DOES, IS IT HARD ON THE HEART?

705. SHE'S HARD ON EVERYTHING.

706. MR. HAMILTON, CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE WHIPPING INCIDENT?

707. WHAT I DID AT MISS WINTHROP'S ESTABLISHMENT

708. DIDN'T EXACTLY INVOLVE ANY WHIPPING.

709. WASN'T A WHIP IN THE ROOM?

710. WAS ANYONE HOLDING THE WHIP?

711. I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

712. PLEASE SPEAK UP.

713. THE YOUNG WOMAN

714. WAS HOLDING THE WHIP.

715. I DON'T RECALL HER NAME.

716. YOUR WITNESS.

717. I KNOW HOW AWKWARD, HOW EMBARRASSING

718. THIS SITUATION MUST BE FOR YOU.

719. I WONDER IF YOU WOULD MIND ELABORATING ON YOUR VISIT

720. TO MISS WINTHROP'S SERVICE.

721. WITH THE YOUNG WOMAN, ABOUT THE WHIP?

722. SHE ONLY USED IT TO DRESS UP.

723. PLAYING... MAKE BELIEVE?

724. YES.

725. HELPING TO ALLEVIATE

726. THE PERFECTLY UNDERSTANDABLE ENNUI

727. THAT COMES AFTER SO MANY YEARS OF MARRIAGE.

728. THEY'RE BUYING IT.

729. YUP.

730. JASMINE CHECKED WITH WINTHROP

731. WHEN THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH CLIENTS.

732. WERE THE CLIENTS GENERALLY HEALTHY?

733. THE SERVICE HAD CLIENTS

734. WHO WEREN'T IN THE BEST OF HEALTH.

735. MEN WITH BAD HEARTS

736. LIKE MR. DIAMOND?

737. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT HIS HEART.

738. DID ANY OTHER OF HER CLIENTS HAVE BAD HEARTS?

739. LOOK, THEIR HEARTS—

740. THAT'S NOT THE PART OF THEIR ANATOMY

741. THE GIRLS WERE MOST INVOLVED WITH.

742. ANSWER THE QUESTION.

743. A LOT OF THE GUYS I DRIVE—

744. I HEARD THEM COMPLAINING TO THE GIRLS

745. ABOUT THEIR WIVES, THEIR WORK.

746. THEY WERE A TENSE BREED.

747. WORKAHOLICS.

748. WHAT WAS MISS WINTHROP'S ATTITUDE TOWARD THEM?

749. I NEVER MET MISS WINTHROP.

750. BUT YOU MUST HAVE OVERHEARD SOME CONVERSATION

751. SHE HAD ABOUT THEM.

752. YEAH, WITH JASMINE.

753. THEY WERE IN A COFFEE SHOP.

754. THEY DIDN'T SEE ME.

755. THEY WERE JOKING ABOUT THE HARD-DRIVING JOHNS.

756. AND WHAT WAS HER ATTITUDE?

757. OBJECTION. SUPPOSITION ON THE PART OF THE WITNESS.

758. HE HAS NO IDEA

759. WHAT MISS WINTHROP HAD IN MIND.

760. I'LL REPHRASE THE QUESTION.

761. CAN YOU TELL ME

762. EXACTLY WHAT MISS WINTHROP SAID?

763. OH, YEAH. IT STUCK IN MY MIND.

764. SHE SAID, "A DEUCE"--

765. THAT'S TWO HOURS—

766. "WILL EITHER KILL THEM OR CURE THEM.

767. "I DON'T CARE WHICH, AS LONG AS THEIR GOLD CARDS

768. ARE STILL GOOD."

769. YOUR HONOR, THIS MAN

770. IS DESPICABLE.

771. HE'S MADE A DEAL TO WALK.

772. BUT IT DIDN'T

773. AFFECT MY MEMORY.

774. I HEAR YOU'RE IN TROUBLE.

775. CHECK YOUR SOURCES.

776. MOLINA GAVE US

777. AN EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

778. WHAT WAS AUCLAIR'S REACTION?

779. STILL WANTS TO MAKE A DEAL.

780. YEAH, WELL, YOU WANT MY ADVICE?

781. MAKE THE DEAL.

782. YOU CAN'T PROVE WINTHROP GAVE THE ORDER.

783. WHY NOT?

784. WHAT MAKES THIS CASE SO IMPORTANT?

785. ADAM, YOU GOT ME WRONG.

786. WILL YOU MAKE A DEAL WITH AUCLAIR?

787. NO. I MEAN THEY'RE ALL IMPORTANT.

788. YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO BE VERY BAD IF SHE WALKS.

789. SHE WON'T WALK.

790. AS A MEMBER OF HEALTH BOARD

791. YOU WORKED ON THE MAYOR'S AIDS WHITE PAPER.

792. I DID.

793. HOW MANY PROSTITUTES WERE PRESUMED H.I.V.-POSITIVE?

794. FROM 70-85%.

795. IT'S DIFFICULT TO BE MORE PRECISE

796. BECAUSE THE VIRUS'S

797. INCUBATION TIME RANGES FROM MONTHS UP TO TEN YEARS.

798. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

799. I ONLY JUST FOUND OUT I'VE GOT THE AIDS VIRUS.

800. HOW MANY MEN DID YOU HAVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH

801. IN THE 18 MONTHS YOU WORKED FOR MISS LAURA WINTHROP?

802. EIGHT HUNDRED...

803. MAYBE 1,000.

804. AM I MISSING SOMETHING?

805. SHE'S OUR WITNESS.

806. WATCH.

807. AND DURING THOSE 18 MONTHS

808. YOU WORKED SOLELY FOR MISS WINTHROP?

809. YES.

810. YOUR WITNESS.

811. MISS CURTIS, I'M SURE THAT YOU'RE AWARE

812. THE INCUBATION PERIOD FOR H.I.V. CAN BE UP TO TEN YEARS.

813. YES.

814. MISS CURTIS, WERE YOU A VIRGIN

815. BEFORE YOU BEGAN YOUR ASSOCIATION

816. WITH POPPY ESCORTS?

817. MMM... I...

818. A SIMPLE "YES" OR "NO" WILL SUFFICE.

819. NO.

820. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

821. REDIRECT, YOUR HONOR.

822. GO AHEAD, MR. STONE.

823. JOLENE...

824. BEFORE YOU WENT TO WORK FOR MISS WINTHROP

825. HOW MANY MEN HAD YOU SLEPT WITH?

826. THREE.

827. AND TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE, ARE THEY ALL HEALTHY?

828. THEY'RE VERY HEALTHY.

829. THE PROSECUTION RESTS, YOUR HONOR.

830. DO YOU CARE ABOUT THE HEALTH OF YOUR EMPLOYEES?

831. I'M QUITE CONCERNED

832. ABOUT THEIR HEALTH.

833. ALONG WITH REGULAR CHECKUPS

834. I INSIST THEY CARRY MEDICAL INSURANCE.

835. AND YOU URGE THEM TO SEEK PSYCHOTHERAPY?

836. YES, THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS

837. THEY CARRY MEDICAL INSURANCE.

838. IT PAYS FOR THE THERAPY.

839. WE DO ENCOURAGE IT.

840. THANK YOU.

841. YOUR WITNESS, SIR.

842. THIS INSISTENCE ON HEALTH INSURANCE

843. AND MEDICAL CHECKUPS—

844. DO YOU DO THIS OUT OF ALTRUISM?

845. LET'S SAY, ENLIGHTENED SELF-INTEREST.

846. IF MY MALE GUESTS PICKED UP A BUG...

847. MISS WINTHROP

848. DO YOU CONSIDER AIDS A BUG?

849. AIDS IS A VERY SERIOUS DISEASE.

850. I DON'T WANT ANYONE IN MY LITTLE FAMILY INFECTED.

851. YOU SCREEN PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYEES

852. AND IF THEY TESTED POSITIVE...

853. I WOULDN'T HIRE HER.

854. THEY WOULDN'T BE PART OF YOUR LITTLE FAMILY?

855. MY LITTLE FAMILY

856. WAS THE BEST FINISHING SCHOOL ON THE EAST COAST.

857. GIRLS CAME TO ME

858. WITHOUT EDUCATION, WITHOUT WIT, WITHOUT CLASS.

859. I TAUGHT THEM HOW TO SPEAK

860. HOW TO DRESS, AND AFTER A YEAR

861. THESE NAIVE YOUNG WOMEN LEARNED SOPHISTICATION.

862. AND FOR THAT, MISS WINTHROP, SHAME ON YOU.

863. YOU ACT AS THOUGH I DON'T CARE ABOUT THEM.

864. LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT.

865. HAVE YOU EVER HELPED ANY OF THESE GIRLS

866. LIKE THE ONES YOU DIDN'T HIRE?

867. NO.

868. IF THEY TESTED POSITIVE FOR AIDS...

869. THEY WOULD STOP WORKING FOR ME.

870. AND IN THE PAST THREE YEARS

871. HOW MANY OF YOUR LONG-TERM EMPLOYEES

872. STOPPED WORKING FOR YOU

873. BECAUSE THEY TESTED POSITIVE FOR AIDS?

874. I'D SAY ABOUT A DOZEN.

875. HAVE YOU TRIED TO HELP ANY OF THEM?

876. NO.

877. HAVE YOU VISITED ANY OF THEM?

878. HAVE YOU?

879. NO.

880. DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THEM?

881. TRIED TO FIND OUT?

882. NO.

883. I'VE NEVER TRIED TO FIND OUT.

884. HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU MAKE IN ONE YEAR?

885. IN THIS PAST YEAR?

886. YEAH.

887. I REALLY DON'T KNOW.

888. 100,000?

889. PROBABLY.

890. ONE MILLION?

891. I DON'T THINK SO.

892. OH, I DO THINK YOU DO THINK SO.

893. I THINK THAT YOU MADE $1,672,000.

894. THAT'S WHAT YOU STATED

895. ON YOUR NEW YORK STATE INCOME TAX RETURN.

896. AND WITH ALL THAT MONEY

897. YOU DIDN'T HELP THESE GIRLS ONCE.

898. AND AS FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS—

899. MISS WINTHROP, HAVE YOU EVER TRIED

900. TO CONTACT CUSTOMERS AND WARN THEM

901. THAT THEY HAD SLEPT WITH WOMEN WHO ARE H.I.V.-POSITIVE?

902. ( softly: ) NO.

903. MISS WINTHROP, I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

904. WOULD YOU PLEASE SPEAK UP.

905. NO.

906. ISN'T IT TRUE

907. THAT YOU ARE CREATING AN ATMOSPHERE

908. OF DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE

909. WHICH MUST LEAD TO SOMEONE'S DEATH

910. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER?

911. ALL RIGHT, STONE, WHAT DO YOU WANT?

912. MAKE ME AN OFFER.

913. LET'S HEAR MR. STONE'S THOUGHTS

914. ON THE MATTER FIRST.

915. IT MIGHT BE MORE APPROPRIATE TO LET YOUR LAWYER HANDLE THIS.

916. IF YOU DON'T MIND

917. I FIND THIS QUITE FASCINATING.

918. HOW ABOUT INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER?

919. I CAN BE OUT IN FIVE YEARS, RIGHT?

920. TWO AND A HALF

921. WITH GOOD BEHAVIOR.

922. I'M ALWAYS ON MY BEST BEHAVIOR, MR. STONE.

923. IT'S A DEAL.

924. EXCUSE ME, MISS.

925. CAN WE GET A COMMENT FROM YOU ON THE WINTHROP CASE?

926. YOU WERE THE FOREMAN OF THE JURY.

927. COULD YOU TELL

928. WHAT THE VERDICT WOULD HAVE BEEN?

929. I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE OTHERS.

930. SHE SEEMED LIKE SUCH A NICE GIRL

931. A REAL LADY.

932. STILL, I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE VOTED TO CONVICT.

933. THANK YOU.

934. MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE A DEAL.

935. MAYBE.

936. BUT IT AIN'T BAD FOR A PAIR OF TREYS.
