1. (male narrator)
In the criminal
justice system...Copy !req
2. the people are represented
by two separate
yet equally important groups:Copy !req
3. the police
who investigate crime...Copy !req
4. and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.Copy !req
5. These are their stories.Copy !req
6. Okay. We're getting close.
Okay?Copy !req
7. (cameraman)
Okay, folks.
30 seconds to air.Copy !req
8. (woman)
Yeah. That's good.Copy !req
9. Okay, Allan.Copy !req
10. Okay, camera coming through.Copy !req
11. Here we go. Let's do this.Copy !req
12. How does it look, Bonnie?
Looks great, Rick.Copy !req
13. Control your hair,
control your life.
(Perkins)
Rick?Copy !req
14. Barry,
can you hear me out there?Copy !req
15. Yeah, lock up the street.
I'm coming out.Copy !req
16. (Barry)
You got it, Rick.
Chucky, frame me up. Signal?Copy !req
17. (Perkins)
Signal good to the towers.Copy !req
18. All right, standby.Copy !req
19. Joey, be a guy.Copy !req
20. Plug me in and keep me hot.Copy !req
21. (Joey)
Clean and mean, Rick.Copy !req
22. (man)
Today, live from the streets
of New York...Copy !req
23. Okay, it's bingo time.
Coming in 10.Copy !req
24. (Perkins)
Three camera's ready.Copy !req
25. Show me hard. Light me up.Copy !req
26. (Perkins)
Okay, we're going to roll...Copy !req
27. coming up to air in five,
four, three...Copy !req
28. (man)
Rick Mason's
Final Confession.Copy !req
29. I'm Rick Mason.Copy !req
30. Today as always,
live on location
on Final Confession...Copy !req
31. the first exclusive interview
with Dr. Joseph Vinton...Copy !req
32. child molester...Copy !req
33. and one of his victims,
Scott Fisher.Copy !req
34. Let's go meet them.Copy !req
35. Four years ago,
Dr. Joseph Vinton,
a therapist...Copy !req
36. recognized for his treatment
of disturbed children...Copy !req
37. took Scott Fisher...Copy !req
38. then 11 years old,
to this restaurant.Copy !req
39. Now, Dr. Vinton sat here
with Scott...Copy !req
40. he bought him ice cream...Copy !req
41. and he convinced Scott
not to say anything about the
abuse that he'd committed...Copy !req
42. moments earlier at
his Greenwich Village office.Copy !req
43. But eventually,
Scott did tell his mother...Copy !req
44. and Dr. Vinton went to prison.Copy !req
45. Dr. Vinton.Copy !req
46. It must be strange for you
coming back to this place.Copy !req
47. I'm not concerned
about myself.
I'm here to help others.Copy !req
48. I've committed
unspeakable crimes, and while
I've served my time in jail...Copy !req
49. I know it's not enough.Copy !req
50. Eighteen months for the abuse
of seven children.Copy !req
51. Sounds like a cruise.Copy !req
52. Is that justice?Copy !req
53. I don't know what justice is.Copy !req
54. I know what I did was awful.
I hurt people.Copy !req
55. I can't ever live it down.Copy !req
56. Not in 18 months,
or in 18 years.Copy !req
57. Now, you wrote a book
in prison
about your experiences.Copy !req
58. Who would you think
would want to read it?
Certainly not my audience!Copy !req
59. I didn't face what I'd done
until I was in prison.Copy !req
60. The book is
part of my recovery. Part of
the reason I'm free today...Copy !req
61. to say...Copy !req
62. I'm sorry.Copy !req
63. To say he's sorry
to two of his victims...Copy !req
64. Scott Fisher,
and his mother Sarah.Copy !req
65. Now, Scott...Copy !req
66. this man took you
into his care
and he abused you.Copy !req
67. (Mason)
He's willing
to acknowledge that.Copy !req
68. But if I were you...Copy !req
69. I think I would
still be a little angry.Copy !req
70. I am, but...Copy !req
71. I'm hoping to...Copy !req
72. make a start...Copy !req
73. at getting it together.Copy !req
74. This is terrible!
Take us to commercial.
Commercial!Copy !req
75. I was on air, I didn't see
the father come in.Copy !req
76. You knew who he was?
I wanted him on the show.Copy !req
77. The wife says he's there,
she's not.Copy !req
78. Who dreams he's going
to show up and shoot Vinton?Copy !req
79. Vinton gonna make it?Copy !req
80. Died in surgery.
Oh, no.Copy !req
81. (technician)
Mr. Mason?Copy !req
82. Top of the show.
If this doesn't do it...Copy !req
83. four million witnesses.Copy !req
84. Did the father know
the psychiatrist was going
to be here today?Copy !req
85. No way.Copy !req
86. We're on location every week.Copy !req
87. We never announce
where we're going to be.Copy !req
88. That's what I do.Copy !req
89. My guests are in a hotel
two days before air.Copy !req
90. Even the crew doesn't know
who's gonna be on till
just the last minute.Copy !req
91. I could have been shot myself.Copy !req
92. Look, if there's
nothing else...Copy !req
93. can I take care
of my staff?Copy !req
94. Let me give you my card.
You remember anything else
give me a call.Copy !req
95. Why did he do it?
Because he's crazy,
that's why.Copy !req
96. You thought your husband
was capable of violence?Copy !req
97. It's my fault. He blames me
for what happened to Scotty.Copy !req
98. He blames me for everything.Copy !req
99. I don't talk to my husband.
I haven't seen him
in three years.Copy !req
100. So, you didn't expect him
here today?Copy !req
101. Well, he attacked Vinton
at his trial.Copy !req
102. He got thrown out of the Army.Copy !req
103. Why do you think
I divorced him?Copy !req
104. Is my dad going to be okay?Copy !req
105. (Briscoe)
The wound's not serious.Copy !req
106. Officer O'Brien is going to
take you home, all right?Copy !req
107. Where is that
security director Talbott?Copy !req
108. I sent him back
to the precinct.
We'll get his statement.Copy !req
109. What? He's an ex-cop.
He did his job.Copy !req
110. You want to book him
for shooting the father?Copy !req
111. If you don't mind,
I've got a question.Copy !req
112. How'd the father know
to come here today?Copy !req
113. Come on, Mike, break it up,
move along.
Nothing to see here.Copy !req
114. Secret location,
lots of security.
How did Fisher get here?Copy !req
115. He shot the guy
who molested his kid.Copy !req
116. I don't care
if an avenging angel sent him.Copy !req
117. I might've done the same thing
if it was my kid.Copy !req
118. Oh, I guess, case closed.Copy !req
119. That's what Van Buren
will say.Copy !req
120. How did the father
get there?Copy !req
121. Who cares?Copy !req
122. In Narcotics,
we didn't care when
scum dealers got shot...Copy !req
123. we did want to find out
who shot them.Copy !req
124. We have the killer
in an operating room
at Bellevue.Copy !req
125. Just tell me
how Fisher got there.Copy !req
126. We drop it and he does
his 25 years.Copy !req
127. What did the wife say?
He was in the Army...Copy !req
128. in the Rangers in Vietnam?Copy !req
129. Those guys
can track a leopard
in the rain...Copy !req
130. so, maybe
he stalked the shrink.Copy !req
131. (Logan)
A shrink child molester.Copy !req
132. I wonder what's next
on his show...Copy !req
133. family dog gets a sex change?Copy !req
134. Or girl gives birth
to a baby pig.Copy !req
135. My mother likes those shows,
along with
the rest of America.Copy !req
136. What do you want to do?Copy !req
137. Hey, we already have
four open homicides.Copy !req
138. Now, wait a minute.
If he stalked him, he could
have hit him in an alleyway...Copy !req
139. he could have hit him
driving a car.Copy !req
140. He picks today
when four million people
are watching...Copy !req
141. in a place he's not even
supposed to know about?Copy !req
142. I'm just saying
let's give it a day.Copy !req
143. If nothing happens,
the case closes itself.Copy !req
144. Talbott,
Mason's head of security...Copy !req
145. the one who shot the father,
we've got him upstairs. So?Copy !req
146. Bring him down.Copy !req
147. I don't know how he got there.
At least I zipped him.Copy !req
148. God knows
who he would have shot next.Copy !req
149. You'd think someone
would have noticed him
at the restaurant.Copy !req
150. They were
rounding up audience
off the street.Copy !req
151. I wish I'd seen him sooner,
but, hey...Copy !req
152. it was a crowd.Copy !req
153. You'd already met the father?Copy !req
154. Saw his picture in a file.Copy !req
155. Hey, hold on...Copy !req
156. Twenty years in the 31, l
know the drill. Now, am I here
to give a statement or what?Copy !req
157. Easy, Barry.
Nobody's blaming you.Copy !req
158. But the wife said
her husband was a wacko.Copy !req
159. You weren't worried?Copy !req
160. I never talked to the guy
myself...Copy !req
161. Yeah, I knew he was a nut,
but a gun?Copy !req
162. You're sure Mrs. Fisher
didn't know
where the show was?Copy !req
163. Unless she reads minds.Copy !req
164. She don't find out
until we drive her there.Copy !req
165. Do me a favor, use the desk.
Finish typing up
this statement.Copy !req
166. Nice guy.
Oh, sure.Copy !req
167. Retired cop.Copy !req
168. What?Copy !req
169. He knows Fisher
was in the Army,
has a history of violence.Copy !req
170. What? He's surprised the guy
shows up with a gun?Copy !req
171. Well, I thought you said
we had four open homicides.Copy !req
172. The bodies are frozen.
They're not
going to thaw out.Copy !req
173. Okay, let's call the D.A.Copy !req
174. Maybe we get in to see
Pop Fisher. He sure as hell
knows how he got there.Copy !req
175. Yeah, he's in post-op,
sedated. They won't put him
in his room till the morning.Copy !req
176. I followed the son of a bitch.
I shot him.Copy !req
177. (Briscoe)
Where did you follow Vinton
from?Copy !req
178. (Logan)
You're going to prison.Copy !req
179. If you help us,
maybe the D.A.
will help you.Copy !req
180. Sid. The D.A.
says if you cooperate—
You're a lawyer, right?Copy !req
181. Listen up,
no jury puts me in jail
for what I did.Copy !req
182. Sid, you listen.
It's a question
of for how long.Copy !req
183. Like Vinton.Copy !req
184. Country club, 18 months.
He deserved to die.Copy !req
185. All right, look, we can do
this the easy way, or we can
do this the hard way.Copy !req
186. I didn't talk to Mason,
Talbott, any of his people.Copy !req
187. But you know the name
of the head of his security.Copy !req
188. Hell, yeah, I know his name.
He put a hole in my shoulder.Copy !req
189. Sid, this
isn't getting anywhere.Copy !req
190. I shot an animal.
Call the vet.Copy !req
191. If I'd known
this would happen, obviously
we wouldn't have gone on TV.Copy !req
192. Well, after what
you'd been through...Copy !req
193. some people would wonder
why you went on TV at all.Copy !req
194. I thought we could help
others. I thought
it would be good for Scotty.Copy !req
195. We'd have an ending,
a resolution.Copy !req
196. Scotty, ahem,
let me ask you...Copy !req
197. did you want your father
there?Copy !req
198. He's not in touch with Sid.
The court arranges everything.Copy !req
199. But, it must have been painful
seeing Vinton again, huh?Copy !req
200. Well, after three years,
it was okay.Copy !req
201. You knew your dad was angry?Copy !req
202. Dad's angry
about what happened to me.Copy !req
203. He has a right to be.Copy !req
204. (Sarah)
Scotty.Copy !req
205. So, Dr. Vinton is dead.Copy !req
206. Scotty, I want to talk
to the detectives alone.Copy !req
207. You see how upset he is?
We're victims of this, too.Copy !req
208. My husband's temper destroyed
my son and my marriage.
I didn't tell him.Copy !req
209. I didn't know
where we were going.Copy !req
210. He can't remember
how he found Vinton.Copy !req
211. Must be trauma
from the wound.Copy !req
212. Had to be his wife.
She got to him.Copy !req
213. Mrs. Fisher's lying?
Come on,
she hates her husband.Copy !req
214. She doesn't have to like him
to wind him up.Copy !req
215. Yeah, but she
wouldn't want him there.Copy !req
216. She'd be afraid
he'd shoot her.Copy !req
217. "The killing of Dr. Vinton
comes at the start
of the television period...Copy !req
218. "known as sweeps. Ratings of
Rick Mason's Final Confession
are expected to rise...Copy !req
219. 30% in the top 25 markets."Copy !req
220. Oh, Mason did it
for the ratings.Copy !req
221. He's a saint, and his show
caters to the highest
instincts of human nature.Copy !req
222. Look at him, he's scum.Copy !req
223. So, change the channel.Copy !req
224. Are you listening to yourself?
First Pop, then Mom,
now Mason.Copy !req
225. It's an Oliver Stone movie.Copy !req
226. All right, nobody planned it.Copy !req
227. It still doesn't answer
my question. How did Fisher
know where to go?Copy !req
228. That security chief, Talbott?Copy !req
229. He had the mother and son
in a hotel for two days.Copy !req
230. Fifth floor. Adjoining suites.Copy !req
231. Mrs. Fisher and the boy.
Very private.Copy !req
232. So, if we called
we couldn't get through.Copy !req
233. Discretion is our middle name.Copy !req
234. No, Mr. Mason's guests
and Mr. Talbott
weren't even on the computer.Copy !req
235. Here we go.Copy !req
236. The Fishers, no phone calls.
Talbott, local only.Copy !req
237. All to the same number.
Mason's office.Copy !req
238. Was Mr. Mason here
Tuesday night?Copy !req
239. He came in about 5:00.Copy !req
240. I took him up myself
in the service elevator.Copy !req
241. Mr. M. hates the lobby.
Samsonite tourists.Copy !req
242. He left about 7:00.Copy !req
243. Are there any pay phones
upstairs?
On the residential floors?Copy !req
244. If they use pay phones,
we lose our surcharge.Copy !req
245. Anywhere other than the lobby?Copy !req
246. Yeah, there's one
on the mezzanine, third floor.
Very private.Copy !req
247. Okay, thanks. Hey.Copy !req
248. 9:53 p.m.Copy !req
249. A phone call
from the mezzanine.Copy !req
250. To 526 East 91st Street.Copy !req
251. Sid Fisher's place.Copy !req
252. I guess the bellboy
made the call.Copy !req
253. Mason left at 7:00.Copy !req
254. Talbott was still there.Copy !req
255. Somebody has good instincts.Copy !req
256. Which one of you said
Mr. Talbott should learn
to lie better?Copy !req
257. Both of us.Copy !req
258. He said 20 years on the force?Copy !req
259. Sixteen. Never made sergeant,
tried three times.Copy !req
260. I.A. investigation
said payoffs from dealers.Copy !req
261. They never made the case.
He resigned.Copy !req
262. Even a hero needs a pension,
Barry.Copy !req
263. This is what you wanted
to talk about?Copy !req
264. How much is your pension?Copy !req
265. (Buren)
You don't have one.Copy !req
266. You didn't do 20 years.
Your career was over in 16.Copy !req
267. We're having a problem
with your statement.Copy !req
268. You see, Barry,
you said you never talked
to Sid Fisher.Copy !req
269. You said Mrs. Fisher
and her son were under
your full-time surveillance.Copy !req
270. Trouble is, somebody called
Mr. Fisher the night
before the broadcast.Copy !req
271. From a pay phone at the hotel.Copy !req
272. Now either you called,
or you know who did.Copy !req
273. One last shot
at the Sergeant's Exam.
Check the box.Copy !req
274. Is accessory to murder
an A or a B felony?Copy !req
275. I lost my pencil.Copy !req
276. The call was made, Barry.Copy !req
277. You were a cop,
work your own testimony,
see where it leads.Copy !req
278. I...Copy !req
279. I got four kids.Copy !req
280. I needed the job.Copy !req
281. I didn't call Fisher.
I didn't tell Mrs. Fisher
where the show was.Copy !req
282. The night before...Copy !req
283. Rick's on the phone
at the hotel. He's on
the phone with his lawyer.Copy !req
284. I'm worried.Copy !req
285. We know Fisher is wired,
he slugged the shrink
at the trial.Copy !req
286. I heard he pistol-whipped
some kid in the Army.Copy !req
287. I hear Rick say to the lawyer:Copy !req
288. "We talked about this.
What do you want me to do?Copy !req
289. "Cancel the show?Copy !req
290. If it happens, just tell me
what kind of trouble I'm in."Copy !req
291. I figured
I'd better clean my gun.Copy !req
292. Take a breath, Detective.
This is completely absurd.Copy !req
293. What am I hearing?
That you're investigating
my client?Copy !req
294. On the word of a crooked
ex-cop?Copy !req
295. Who was crooked
when you hired him.
And when I fired him.Copy !req
296. Did he tell you that?
Day after the show.Copy !req
297. Barry Talbott was hired
to protect my client's guests.Copy !req
298. I told Barry, heads-up...Copy !req
299. Fisher could track his wife.
Why do you think
I wanted Fisher on the show?Copy !req
300. We get him there,
we could've made sure
he didn't have a gun.Copy !req
301. The day it happened,
you were surprised
he owned a gun.Copy !req
302. The idea that my client
is responsible—Copy !req
303. Your client?
Check your shorts.Copy !req
304. Mr. Talbott tells us
that Mr. Mason called you
before the shooting.Copy !req
305. Says you knew about
the mystery guest.Copy !req
306. One, no such conversation.Copy !req
307. Two,
this imaginary conversation
took place?Copy !req
308. Privileged. Three,
if Talbott overheard it...Copy !req
309. privilege extends to him
as an employee of my client.
Close your notebook.Copy !req
310. The interview is over.Copy !req
311. She denied talking to him?Copy !req
312. Oh, but you should have seen
the look on her face.Copy !req
313. This is one scared lady.Copy !req
314. The D.A. says it's not enough.
Dirty ex-cop?
Not a great witness.Copy !req
315. Look, we know
Mason set this up.Copy !req
316. He wanted the guy shot,
he somehow got the father
there.Copy !req
317. Mason, all these guys,
they'll do anything
for higher ratings.Copy !req
318. So, that's what's going down.Copy !req
319. Somebody gets killed,
these guys break out
the champagne.Copy !req
320. We can't prove that.
We don't know who called
the father from the hotel.Copy !req
321. Fisher's wife.
Mason called her.
Or he told the kid.Copy !req
322. That makes no sense.
Sarah Fisher protecting Mason?Copy !req
323. If she knew he set it up,
why won't she tell us?Copy !req
324. Who knows why this lady
does anything?Copy !req
325. Why'd she bring her kid
on TV in the first place?Copy !req
326. "Hello, America,
here's my molested son,
watch him suffer."Copy !req
327. We have shrinks
on the payroll.
Give them a call.Copy !req
328. You're asking me to explain
the behavior of a woman
I've never met.Copy !req
329. (Logan)
Look, we need an idea,
someplace to start.Copy !req
330. I usually try and avoid
making diagnoses over lunch.Copy !req
331. Okay, this is speculation.
What did Mason
do for Sarah Fisher?Copy !req
332. He gave her an obituary.Copy !req
333. She wanted Vinton dead?
I don't think so.
He molested her son.Copy !req
334. And in a way she was molested,
too. She goes on TV,
she gets support.Copy !req
335. She even gets applause.
She doesn't want
Vinton dead...Copy !req
336. she wants to do
Oprah and Donahue with him.Copy !req
337. That's her way
of getting through it.Copy !req
338. Then she wouldn't have helped
her husband kill Vinton.Copy !req
339. No, but her son might.Copy !req
340. That makes more sense.
Mason tells the kid...Copy !req
341. the kid phones his father.Copy !req
342. She's not protecting Mason.
She's protecting her son.Copy !req
343. You're making it worse
by being here.Copy !req
344. Your husband
didn't do this alone.Copy !req
345. Mason picked you and Scott
for a reason.Copy !req
346. I watched his shows.
I guess
I should have realized...Copy !req
347. I really can't tell you
anything.Copy !req
348. You knew what your husband
was planning...Copy !req
349. and you called him.
That makes you a coconspirator
and you could be indicted.Copy !req
350. Mom, don't—
Scotty! I don't know anything.Copy !req
351. Mason went to the hotel
and he told you
to call your husband.Copy !req
352. (Briscoe)
Did he tell you it would make
a better show?Copy !req
353. Did he offer you money?
Did he tell you your husband
was going to shoot Vinton?Copy !req
354. Unless, of course,
he talked to you, Scott.Copy !req
355. Scotty, I don't think
you should be here right now.Copy !req
356. Mom, you don't have to—Copy !req
357. It doesn't matter
who Mr. Mason talked to...Copy !req
358. it's too late now.Copy !req
359. Neither of us
should have been alone
with him.Copy !req
360. We shouldn't be alone
with you.Copy !req
361. Olivet's right.
She's not giving up her son.Copy !req
362. Mason's gonna get away
with this. Do you think
the D.A.'s gonna touch this?Copy !req
363. Nah, guys like Mason
don't go to jail.Copy !req
364. They go to country clubs
and they get awards.Copy !req
365. Yeah,
what did Sarah Fisher say?Copy !req
366. She watched his shows,
so she should have known.Copy !req
367. So?
So, do you watch his show?
I don't.Copy !req
368. Maybe we should.
Maybe the guy's got some bad
habits we don't know about.Copy !req
369. Yeah,
that'll get us an arrest.Copy !req
370. It might get us something
that will convince the D.A.
that this guy set up a murder.Copy !req
371. I never watch
the competition.Copy !req
372. Hey, this isn't
a press conference.Copy !req
373. Mason's a major player
in this industry.Copy !req
374. Mr. Hudson, we're interested
in opinions, not resumes.Copy !req
375. And this is
a murder investigation.Copy !req
376. Well, which opinion
would you like?
Mason's Nielsens were down?Copy !req
377. Read it in Variety.
Which comes first?
His conviction or his Emmy?Copy !req
378. Well, what are you, new?
Nobody in the business
was surprised.Copy !req
379. You see that woman in Florida?Copy !req
380. Husband shoots her
at their daughter's grave.Copy !req
381. Same day network news.Copy !req
382. I'd sell my poodle
for that kind of hype.Copy !req
383. And shooting a child molester
is even better.Copy !req
384. Cable operators are asking...Copy !req
385. the State of Nevada
to televise executions
pay-per-view.Copy !req
386. Snuff for you?Copy !req
387. Smell blood yet?
Television 101, no jeopardy,
no viewers.Copy !req
388. No viewers, no sponsors.
No sponsors—
No money.Copy !req
389. Oh, no, marquee.
The marquee,
his name over the title.Copy !req
390. Without a show,
Mason's nothing
but letterhead.Copy !req
391. I know a girl, Debby Corrio.
Sweet kid.Copy !req
392. She used to work for him.
She'll take you backstage.Copy !req
393. Why does everyone think
I was fired? I quit.Copy !req
394. Better job?
Better life.Copy !req
395. I couldn't take
another minute.Copy !req
396. What's on 4:30?
Final Confession.Copy !req
397. 5:00, last rites.Copy !req
398. Nobody ever got shot
on his show.
It was coming.Copy !req
399. You know the Pulisi trial?Copy !req
400. He had one of the jurors on.
Four days later,
the man disappeared.Copy !req
401. Hey, a mob-trial juror
goes on TV?
He's asking for it.Copy !req
402. You should have seen Mason
trying to convince him
he'd be safe.Copy !req
403. Eight months ago
we were doing this spot.Copy !req
404. I found a diva, 19,
has an act in The Village.Copy !req
405. I say, "Rick Mason
wants you to sing
on his show."Copy !req
406. So, she's in heaven.Copy !req
407. No, he's at Bergdorf's
picking out
a little black dress.Copy !req
408. He's wearing a dress. So?Copy !req
409. You want to see why I quit?Copy !req
410. I'll get you the tape.Copy !req
411. I don't care if he's a bully.
It's not admissible.Copy !req
412. We're not talking
admissibility.Copy !req
413. It's motive. They're trying
to give you a reason
to make the case.Copy !req
414. Watch this.Copy !req
415. Sophie, Georgette and Mary.Copy !req
416. Boys who sing like girls.Copy !req
417. Tonight,
live on Final Confession.Copy !req
418. Stay with us.
Don't go away,
we'll be right back.Copy !req
419. (technician)
We go to commercial.Copy !req
420. Mary? Is this what
you really want to do?Copy !req
421. I just wanted to sing,
Mr. Mason.Copy !req
422. But it's not you, Mary.
Don't you want to be yourself
tonight?Copy !req
423. I don't know...Copy !req
424. They love you.
Show them
who you really are.Copy !req
425. They want you to be happy.
They told me.
They're both here?Copy !req
426. Yeah, atta girl.
All right, head's up.
We're coming back.Copy !req
427. (man)
In five, four, three...Copy !req
428. Tonight,
live on Final Confession.Copy !req
429. Mary is really Tommy Turner...Copy !req
430. and tonight...Copy !req
431. she tells the two people
that love her the most.Copy !req
432. Howard? Elaine?
Would you come out, please?Copy !req
433. Do you recognize
this young lady?Copy !req
434. Dad...Copy !req
435. Tommy?Copy !req
436. Oh, my God.Copy !req
437. Oh, no...Copy !req
438. The father walked out
of the show
and had a coronary.Copy !req
439. The kid felt so guilty,
a week later
he killed himself.Copy !req
440. Mason destroys people.Copy !req
441. It doesn't prove anything.
Claire, it proves who he is.Copy !req
442. We can't make this work,
all we got left
is rubber hoses.Copy !req
443. You can hit him harder.Copy !req
444. You can't be serious.Copy !req
445. You don't think
we should go after him?Copy !req
446. What he does may be sleazy,
but it's not criminal.Copy !req
447. If he arranged a murder,
it is.Copy !req
448. You can't believe
that Mason knew Fisher
was coming with a gun.Copy !req
449. Miss Kincaid, he wanted
to get the man there.Copy !req
450. Expected a fistfight,
got a homicide.Copy !req
451. If intent to cause injury
causes death, it's man one.Copy !req
452. At the least,
it's facilitation.Copy !req
453. How do we prove facilitation?Copy !req
454. You're not suggesting
we offer the father a deal
for his son's testimony?Copy !req
455. Why not?
He gets man one anyway.Copy !req
456. And no jury convicts
on murder two.Copy !req
457. Half the country
wants to name him
Father of the Year.Copy !req
458. You know what Mason'll do.Copy !req
459. Call himself a journalist
and wrap himself
in the First Amendment.Copy !req
460. Well, let him wrap himself
in the American flag.
He's not Tom Brokaw.Copy !req
461. By the way, Adam,
the father fired his lawyer.
He's going pro se.Copy !req
462. Jerk.Copy !req
463. So, I figure we offer him
a deal,
he doesn't want to take it...Copy !req
464. we say we're adding his son
to the charge.Copy !req
465. It's not the father
we're after, it's Mason.Copy !req
466. We're not going to
indict the kid to get him.Copy !req
467. No, but the father
doesn't know that.Copy !req
468. Let's hope.Copy !req
469. My son had nothing to do
with it.Copy !req
470. Well, we think that your wife
will testify otherwise.Copy !req
471. Not against my son.Copy !req
472. Mr. Fisher...Copy !req
473. if your son did help you
get to Dr. Vinton...Copy !req
474. he's an accessory.Copy !req
475. He will go to Spofford.Copy !req
476. I shot a man on principle.Copy !req
477. You torment my son
in front of me...Copy !req
478. You have no principles.
And you speak for the State.Copy !req
479. We'll see you in court.Copy !req
480. We'll provide you with help
for your defense.Copy !req
481. If you leave my son alone,
I'll tell you
what you want to know.Copy !req
482. The offer is manslaughter
in the first degree,
you do 8-to-25...Copy !req
483. if you tell the truth and
if your testimony is useful.
That is the deal.Copy !req
484. The deal is my son
never appears in court,
for any reason.Copy !req
485. Agreed?Copy !req
486. I can promise that
he won't be indicted.Copy !req
487. I cannot promise you
that he won't appear
as witness.Copy !req
488. You don't need him
as a witness.Copy !req
489. Mason called
a couple of weeks
before the show.Copy !req
490. Said Sarah was dragging
Scotty on.Copy !req
491. Humiliate him.Copy !req
492. Vinton sells a million books,
laughs till he cries.
What am I going to do?Copy !req
493. He told me it was at Waverly.
I went and shot
the son of a bitch.Copy !req
494. (Stone)
That's a lie, sir.Copy !req
495. I told you the deal depends
on you telling the truth.Copy !req
496. I cannot let you
commit perjury.Copy !req
497. I am not dragging Scotty
through anything else,
do you hear me?Copy !req
498. My boy had to testify
against Vinton.Copy !req
499. He never appears
in court again
the rest of his life.Copy !req
500. I didn't get any calls,
I didn't talk to anybody.Copy !req
501. We can't use him. He'll lie.Copy !req
502. He probably
did talk to Mason.Copy !req
503. Well, that's not
the whole truth
and we both know it.Copy !req
504. He laid it all on Mason
to keep it away from his son,
and Mason's smart.Copy !req
505. He used the son to incite
the father, makes facilitation
that much harder to prove.Copy !req
506. Plus, he could figure that
the Fishers would never want
the kid back in the limelight.Copy !req
507. But without him,
there's no case.Copy !req
508. This family...Copy !req
509. They haven't been
in the same room together
in three years.Copy !req
510. Mrs. Fisher, we believe
that you and your son
conspired with your husband.Copy !req
511. Scott talked to your husband
before the shooting.Copy !req
512. We're certain you knew it and
if we have to, we'll charge
you both as accessories.Copy !req
513. So, Scott, help your dad.Copy !req
514. Tell the truth and
he gets out of prison sooner.Copy !req
515. Scotty.
I'm done controlling myself.Copy !req
516. Dad said it's okay
to feel that way.Copy !req
517. Mr. Mason told me
where it was going to be.Copy !req
518. I called my dad.Copy !req
519. This way, please.Copy !req
520. What is this?
What are you doing here?Copy !req
521. I thought
we were closing a deal.Copy !req
522. Your son just cut a new deal
for you.Copy !req
523. You had to put it on him.Copy !req
524. Is this today's solution?
Blame it on our son?Copy !req
525. Don't dump this on me.
I put him in therapy,
you put him in a murder trial.Copy !req
526. Sid, there's no justice.
At least
we can have recovery.Copy !req
527. Keep your recovery.
I got revenge.Copy !req
528. This is finished.
Dad, don't do that.Copy !req
529. Scotty's telling the truth,
he called Sid.Copy !req
530. He told me after it happened.Copy !req
531. You wanted corroboration.Copy !req
532. You said you'd threaten
the father,
you threatened the son.Copy !req
533. Alice Hutton finds out,
she'll have a hayride
on cross.Copy !req
534. Was there any other choice?
Now we look like
carnival hucksters.Copy !req
535. "Want a deal? Take a number.
You too can get a piece
of the movie rights."Copy !req
536. Nobody said
this was an easy case.Copy !req
537. Conspiracy without collusion?
But you've got
to make a point.Copy !req
538. Which is?
You treat people
like animal acts...Copy !req
539. one of them dies,
you go to jail.Copy !req
540. Well, I just hope
we don't look ridiculous.Copy !req
541. Oh, I'd wear clown make-up
if I thought
it'd get me a conviction.Copy !req
542. "Docket number 62397,
The People v. Richard Mason.Copy !req
543. Charges are manslaughter,
first degree, criminal
facilitation, first degree."Copy !req
544. So, Miss Hutton?Copy !req
545. Your Honor,
in view of the absurdity
of these charges...Copy !req
546. my client would like
to make a statement.Copy !req
547. In my defense, Your Honor,
I point to my career
in journalism...Copy !req
548. the respect
of my colleagues.Copy !req
549. Sir, I have no idea
who you are.Copy !req
550. Miss Hutton, I'm not going
to dismiss charges before
they get to grand jury.Copy !req
551. Prompt your client
to enter a plea
or enter it for him.Copy !req
552. Not guilty on both counts.Copy !req
553. Ms. Kincaid?Copy !req
554. We don't think bail
will affect Mr. Mason's
appearance at trial.Copy !req
555. The People ask for $100,000.
We find that acceptable,
Your Honor.Copy !req
556. Such reasonable people.
Who says no happy families?Copy !req
557. And Mr. Mason,
stay in character if you want,
but please, stay in town.Copy !req
558. Next.Copy !req
559. Who are you?
I speak for the people.Copy !req
560. I gave the Fishers
their real day in court.
You're a public servant.Copy !req
561. Your system gave a molester
18 months.Copy !req
562. You serve the public
better than I do?Copy !req
563. I didn't arrange
to have him killed.Copy !req
564. Neither did my client.
He had no motive.Copy !req
565. Your client saw
an opportunity, Alice.
I'm an opportunist?Copy !req
566. Thirty-eight people were shot
in courtrooms last year.Copy !req
567. The show you're staging
is no different than mine.Copy !req
568. Mr. Mason, please focus.
This is not a show.Copy !req
569. You have a camera,
I have Attica.
Take a rest.Copy !req
570. I didn't get my nap today
either. Geraldo had Nazis
on the show...Copy !req
571. he started a brawl,
nobody indicted him.
Nobody got shot on his show.Copy !req
572. Now, I'm willing to discuss
a plea at the lowest charge.Copy !req
573. Go ahead, pick that scab.Copy !req
574. I'll see you in court.
Don't be late, it's live.Copy !req
575. By the way,
that phone conversation the
security guard overheard...Copy !req
576. Mr. Talbott?Copy !req
577. I was on the phone
with my client.
You'll never get it admitted.Copy !req
578. (Hutton)
The call is privileged.Copy !req
579. Mr. Talbott worked
for my client. In essence...Copy !req
580. he was my client.
Oh, really? On what grounds?Copy !req
581. He was a necessary agent
to my client
conducting his business.Copy !req
582. The necessary agent theory?
Fine for the law journals,
Alice.Copy !req
583. We don't make law here,
we uphold it.Copy !req
584. My client didn't expect
to be overheard.Copy !req
585. McCormick on Evidence,
he thought
the call was private...Copy !req
586. he didn't waive privilege.Copy !req
587. It was a public telephone.Copy !req
588. Attorney-client privilege
is one of those great zones
of privacy, however—Copy !req
589. Your Honor, l—
Sit down, Alice.Copy !req
590. I don't see
how it applies here.
And the jury has a choice.Copy !req
591. They don't have to
believe a word
Mr. Talbott says.Copy !req
592. The testimony on the call
is admitted.
Let's go to trial.Copy !req
593. Alice, that phone call,
Talbott isn't lying, is he?Copy !req
594. That conversation
was privileged.
This isn't about privilege.Copy !req
595. Prove my actions
were improper,
bring me up for disbarment.Copy !req
596. If I could prove it,
it would be accessory
to manslaughter.Copy !req
597. Who appointed you
Saint Francis of Assisi?Copy !req
598. It must be thrilling
to occupy
such high moral ground.Copy !req
599. You're an officer
of the court.Copy !req
600. It sounds like you were
discussing the possibility
of murder with your client.Copy !req
601. Really? You want to try
proving any of that?Copy !req
602. You're desperate.Copy !req
603. Talk shows have been on
20 hours a week
for the past 10 years.Copy !req
604. First time somebody gets shot,
you call it manslaughter?Copy !req
605. It's what a jury
calls it that counts.
This prosecution's a hummer.Copy !req
606. I don't know
how you look at yourself
in the mirror.Copy !req
607. I'm a Catholic,
I can feel guilty
about anything.Copy !req
608. But I'll bet my conscience
is easier to live with
than yours.Copy !req
609. Now, what will the defendant
tell you?Copy !req
610. That he covers the news.Copy !req
611. But in this case,
he didn't cover the news,
he made it.Copy !req
612. Now, let's be clear
about the motive.Copy !req
613. (Stone)
Nothing draws people
to their television sets...Copy !req
614. nothing is more magnetic
than violence.Copy !req
615. And each year,
the stakes go up.Copy !req
616. You had a fistfight
on your show last year...Copy !req
617. now who's going to watch
if that happens again?Copy !req
618. The higher the stakes,
the higher the ratings.Copy !req
619. The higher the ratings,
the more money
goes into Mr. Mason's pockets.Copy !req
620. And these stakes
are human lives.Copy !req
621. Not just the life
of Dr. Vinton...Copy !req
622. but the lives of
the entire Fisher family.Copy !req
623. Now, Mr. Mason
brought them together as
you would gasoline and fire.Copy !req
624. And he waited
for the explosion.Copy !req
625. The People will prove
that the explosion came...Copy !req
626. because the defendant
deliberately lit the match.Copy !req
627. Mr. Stone has a strange notion
of human behavior.Copy !req
628. The defendant, he believes,
is responsible
for what other people do.Copy !req
629. He says, let's be clear
about motive.Copy !req
630. I suggest, let's be clear
about the facts.Copy !req
631. Here's what you'll learn from
the witnesses. The defendant
didn't fire a gun.Copy !req
632. He didn't put a gun
in anyone's hand,
he didn't coerce...Copy !req
633. anyone to appear
on his program.Copy !req
634. And I remind you
of one other fact.Copy !req
635. Long before the defendant
ever met the Fisher family...Copy !req
636. Scott Fisher's father
attacked Joseph Vinton.Copy !req
637. Did Richard Mason provoke
Mr. Fisher to fire a gun?Copy !req
638. Or was he provoked
in a courtroom...Copy !req
639. long before Richard Mason
ever heard of him?Copy !req
640. That phone call
scared the hell out of me.Copy !req
641. What specifically worried you?Copy !req
642. Mr. Mason always said
Fisher might show up.Copy !req
643. When he asked his lawyer
what kind of trouble
he'll be in...Copy !req
644. I figure he knows for sure.Copy !req
645. Did you do anything
about your concerns?
Well, I told him:Copy !req
646. "Let me hire an extra man."
He said, "Forget it.Copy !req
647. Fisher comes,
I'll let the guy talk."
I said, "The guy's nuts...Copy !req
648. anything can happen."
And what did Mr. Mason
say to that?Copy !req
649. He said, "We're doing a show.
Things are supposed
to happen."Copy !req
650. Thank you. Your witness.Copy !req
651. So, Mr. Talbott, you thought
there'd be trouble?Copy !req
652. Did you call the police?Copy !req
653. I followed Mr. Mason's orders.
Did you follow orders
as a cop?Copy !req
654. Why did you leave
the Police Department?
Objection.Copy !req
655. Is it true
you resigned because—Copy !req
656. Miss Hutton.
Counsel will approach.Copy !req
657. When he objects,
you wait for my ruling.Copy !req
658. Now, Mr. Talbott wasn't
convicted of a crime, get near
that again, you'll regret it.Copy !req
659. Objection sustained.Copy !req
660. Mr. Talbott, this call you say
you overheard.Copy !req
661. Did you mention it
in your statement
to the police?Copy !req
662. No, I didn't.Copy !req
663. Well, you lied then,
or you're lying now.Copy !req
664. Is it true you no longer work
for Richard Mason...Copy !req
665. that you were fired
the day after the shooting
of Joseph Vinton?Copy !req
666. Yeah, I was fired.
Well, you lied to the police.Copy !req
667. I wonder, are you angry enough
at Richard Mason to lie now?Copy !req
668. I didn't want my son on TV.
What did you tell Mr. Mason?Copy !req
669. I said, "You put Scotty on,
I'm gonna be there.
It'll be trouble."Copy !req
670. Mason says, "It's news
to America. You don't like
the news, make your own."Copy !req
671. And what did that mean to you?
Objection.
Asks for conclusion.Copy !req
672. No, I'll allow it. Mr. Fisher?Copy !req
673. It meant lump it.Copy !req
674. He wanted me to come
and attack Vinton.
Thank you. Your witness.Copy !req
675. So, you testified your son
told you where to go that day.Copy !req
676. Can you tell the court
why wasn't Scott charged
as an accessory in this crime?Copy !req
677. I don't know.Copy !req
678. Is that so? You said you
made a deal with Mr. Stone.Copy !req
679. You'd implicate Mr. Mason
in exchange for
a reduced sentence.Copy !req
680. Was your son a part
of that deal?Copy !req
681. They threatened
to indict Scotty.
"They," Mr. Fisher?Copy !req
682. Mr. Stone,
the District Attorney.Copy !req
683. He said he'd indict my son.Copy !req
684. Compelling incentive.
If my son were threatened,
I'd say anything.Copy !req
685. No further questions.Copy !req
686. Mason did it!
He made Scotty call me.Copy !req
687. He's a parasite! He's filth!
Mr. Fisher!Copy !req
688. The jury will ignore
the witness's remark.
Strike it from the record.Copy !req
689. Redirect, Your Honor?
If the witness
can control himself.Copy !req
690. Mr. Fisher, did you ever offer
to lie in your testimony?Copy !req
691. I wanted to say
Mason told me where to go.Copy !req
692. I wanted to say Scotty
had nothing to do with it.Copy !req
693. And how did I respond?Copy !req
694. You said that was perjury.
You said
you couldn't let me do that.Copy !req
695. Thank you.
No further questions.Copy !req
696. It was at the hotel.
I was in my room.Copy !req
697. And what did Mr. Mason
tell you?Copy !req
698. He said where the show
was gonna be...Copy !req
699. might be painful.Copy !req
700. And what did you say to that?
I told him I was scared...Copy !req
701. about seeing Dr. Vinton.Copy !req
702. I didn't want to know
where it was.Copy !req
703. He said he had to tell me.
The Waverly,
where Dr. Vinton...Copy !req
704. took me after the sessions.Copy !req
705. Did Mr. Mason explain to you
why he had to tell you
where it was?Copy !req
706. He said my dad
ought to be there.Copy !req
707. He couldn't tell Dad
where the show was
going to be, but I could.Copy !req
708. He took me to
a pay phone downstairs
and I called my dad.Copy !req
709. Thanks, Scott. Your witness.Copy !req
710. I know this is difficult
for you, Scott. All we want
you to do is tell the truth.Copy !req
711. Now, you met with Dr. Vinton
for how long?
About three years.Copy !req
712. And did your mother ever
ask you about your sessions
with the doctor?Copy !req
713. Objection. Relevance?
Goes to credibility.Copy !req
714. I'll allow it, but make
the connection quickly.Copy !req
715. Go on, Scott.
Sure, my mom asked me.Copy !req
716. And in three years
you never told her
what Dr. Vinton did to you?Copy !req
717. No, she wanted me to go.
You wanted to
please your mother...Copy !req
718. so you didn't tell the truth.Copy !req
719. You want to make it
sound like I'm lying.Copy !req
720. I'm not. Mr. Mason told me
to call my dad.Copy !req
721. I didn't know
what he was gonna do.Copy !req
722. Scott, didn't Mr. Stone
prepare you for today?Copy !req
723. Didn't he tell you exactly
what to say?Copy !req
724. He told me just like you,
to tell the truth.Copy !req
725. No further questions.Copy !req
726. She couldn't break him, Adam.Copy !req
727. Ben, who said all cases
are made
by prepping the witnesses?Copy !req
728. You did, I think.
About 400 times.
Oh, yeah.Copy !req
729. Ben, Mr. Mason
just held a press conference.Copy !req
730. He fully expects
to be acquitted.Copy !req
731. He's suing for false arrest
and malicious prosecution.Copy !req
732. $5 million in damages.Copy !req
733. Well, the last guy
that tried that
with me...Copy !req
734. is still doing
three-to-nine.Copy !req
735. I wouldn't eat that canary
just yet.Copy !req
736. It's a long trip
from your witnesses
to motive and conviction.Copy !req
737. I'm pretty sure
Mr. Mason will get us there.Copy !req
738. Well, but he might be
a better performer
than you.Copy !req
739. Certainly had
as much practice.Copy !req
740. Well, then l
can learn something.Copy !req
741. Why did you visit Scott
at the hotel that night?Copy !req
742. I spend time with all
my subjects. Especially
a vulnerable 15-year-old.Copy !req
743. What did you tell Scott?
I reminded him
how hard it would be.Copy !req
744. Frankly,
I wanted to assure myself that
he wouldn't be damaged...Copy !req
745. and if I wasn't convinced,
I would have canceled
the show.Copy !req
746. Did you tell him where
the show would be and ask him
to call his father?Copy !req
747. Absolutely not.
I spoke to Mr. Fisher.Copy !req
748. Anyone could see the man
was dangerous.Copy !req
749. Did you instruct Barry Talbott
to curtail his vigilance
in any way?Copy !req
750. The opposite.Copy !req
751. I was concerned
that Mr. Fisher might find out
the location of the show.Copy !req
752. I told Mr. Talbott
to stop him at all costs.Copy !req
753. Mr. Mason, do you
consider yourself to have
high professional standards?Copy !req
754. Yes, I do.Copy !req
755. There are some things
I will not do
in pursuit of a story.Copy !req
756. I've never used a hidden
camera. I don't surprise
subjects in parking lots.Copy !req
757. And I don't pay
convicted felons.Copy !req
758. I might add that some of
my colleagues at the networks
are not so particular.Copy !req
759. Thank you. Your witness.Copy !req
760. So, you have high professional
standards, sir, yet...Copy !req
761. you put the Fisher family
on your show, you knew
that Mr. Fisher was dangerous.Copy !req
762. Is that a high standard?Copy !req
763. I took every precaution.
Didn't you provoke Mr. Fisher?Copy !req
764. Didn't you refuse
to hire additional security?Copy !req
765. Didn't you manipulate
Scott Fisher?
None of that is true.Copy !req
766. What about guests on your
previous shows?
Didn't you arrange to have—Copy !req
767. Objection. May we approach?Copy !req
768. Mr. Mason's past programs
are irrelevant.
It goes to motive, Your Honor.Copy !req
769. And they're inadmissible.
Put it in your pocket, Ben.Copy !req
770. I didn't let her do it
to your witness,
you don't do it to hers.Copy !req
771. Objection sustained.Copy !req
772. Mr. Stone?Copy !req
773. Are you telling this court,
sir, that you feel
no responsibility...Copy !req
774. for the death of Dr. Vinton?Copy !req
775. It was a tragedy,
but I would never knowingly
put anyone's life in danger.Copy !req
776. Judge, you can't allow this.
You want to go
in the back door?Copy !req
777. Your client opened the door.Copy !req
778. Hello there,
send the arguments
toward my door.Copy !req
779. Mr. Stone tried to sneak in
character testimony before.Copy !req
780. He wanted to tarnish my client
but you said no.Copy !req
781. Mr. Mason's past programs
haven't suddenly
become relevant.Copy !req
782. But they have,
Alice. Mason lied.Copy !req
783. He said he never
put anyone in danger.
He did.Copy !req
784. He said "knowingly."
He would never knowingly
put anyone in danger.Copy !req
785. Ben, you have rebuttal
on this?Copy !req
786. (Stone)
I do, Your Honor.Copy !req
787. A witness who was there
and she'll testify.Copy !req
788. It's grossly prejudicial.Copy !req
789. People v. Zackowitz,
Benjamin Cardozo on the
New York Court of Appeals.Copy !req
790. What about Wigmore?Copy !req
791. Character is never an issue
unless the defendant chooses
to make it one...Copy !req
792. which is what your client did.
It's too bad, he should
have kept his mouth shut.Copy !req
793. I'm going to allow this...Copy !req
794. but you better hope
your witness knows
what she's talking about.Copy !req
795. We wanted the juror
from the Pulisi trial...Copy !req
796. to talk about
organized crime.Copy !req
797. We picked juror number six,
James Davis.Copy !req
798. And why did you want
that particular juror
on your show?Copy !req
799. He was the one who pushed
the jury to convict.Copy !req
800. He said
he would talk about it,
but he was afraid.Copy !req
801. Mr. Mason assured him
that we'd alter his voice,
silhouette his face.Copy !req
802. (Stone)
And did Mr. Mason do that?Copy !req
803. Sure, he did.Copy !req
804. Then he invited
Nick Pulisi's son
on the show.Copy !req
805. Mr. Davis didn't know
until halfway through.Copy !req
806. He disappeared
from a parking lot.Copy !req
807. They never found him.Copy !req
808. Were you involved in the show
that featured...Copy !req
809. prostitutes in Times Square?Copy !req
810. I helped find those girls.Copy !req
811. The day of the show one
of them, her name was Cheryl,
she was a little tired.Copy !req
812. Mr. Mason was upset.Copy !req
813. The first time we talked
to her, she was all lit up,
she was funny.Copy !req
814. Lit up, you mean
that she was on drugs?Copy !req
815. She was on cocaine.Copy !req
816. (Stone)
And what did Mr. Mason do
to help her be funny?Copy !req
817. He gave her $300, told her
to take a little walk.Copy !req
818. Did she come back?Copy !req
819. Yeah.Copy !req
820. She was her old self.Copy !req
821. She was buzzed.Copy !req
822. We were just off the air
when she keeled over.Copy !req
823. Later, we found out
she bought some bad stuff.Copy !req
824. She barely made it
to the hospital.Copy !req
825. Miss Corrio,
one last question.Copy !req
826. How did Mr. Mason
react to that news?Copy !req
827. He said, "What a waste...Copy !req
828. too bad she didn't OD
on the show."Copy !req
829. He said,
"What we really needed was for
somebody to die on the air."Copy !req
830. On the first count
of the indictment manslaughter
in the first degree...Copy !req
831. how does the jury find?Copy !req
832. We find the defendant
not guilty.Copy !req
833. (Steinman)
On the second count
of the indictment,Copy !req
834. the charge
of criminal facilitation...Copy !req
835. in the first degree,
how does the jury find?Copy !req
836. We find the defendant guilty.Copy !req
837. Move to continue bail
until sentencing.Copy !req
838. Motion granted.Copy !req
839. (Mason)
I'm disappointed,
but not only for myself.Copy !req
840. It's a sad day
for the First Amendment.Copy !req
841. He'll do 18 months,
better than nothing.Copy !req
842. Eighteen months
is what Vinton got,
right?Copy !req
843. Mason
could write his own book
in that time.Copy !req
844. Oh, he's off the air.
Oh, I don't know about that.Copy !req
845. Five hundred cable channels
coming? He could start
the Prison Channel.Copy !req
