1. 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. The Beckerman luncheon's
been changed to a brunch.Copy !req
7. Why am I just hearing
about this now?Copy !req
8. They called yesterday,
after you left, madame.Copy !req
9. So sorry. Well, change
hair and nails to 9:30...Copy !req
10. and wake Mr. Keyes. Yes, madame.Copy !req
11. Mr. Keyes?Copy !req
12. Mr. Keyes?Copy !req
13. Mr. Keyes?Copy !req
14. I'm in great shape.
Come on, feel my legs.Copy !req
15. Profaci, don't ask,
don't tell. Stop.Copy !req
16. So...Copy !req
17. how much is this 100-mile
walk gonna cost us?Copy !req
18. It's only 25 cents a mile.Copy !req
19. All right, put me down.
Hello, 27. Briscoe.Copy !req
20. If you go the distance,
it's $25? Right.Copy !req
21. What is it, for
saving the whales?Copy !req
22. Come on, it's for handicapped
kids. Cough it up, come on.Copy !req
23. No, I know the address,
but I need your name.Copy !req
24. You owe me $10.Copy !req
25. Some woman says Jonathan
Keyes was murdered last night...Copy !req
26. in the penthouse
at Keyes Towers.Copy !req
27. Probably a crank call.Copy !req
28. Hey, it's a chance to see
how the other half lives.Copy !req
29. Wait here, please.
Mr. Darby will speak with you.Copy !req
30. We'd rather speak
with Mr. Keyes.Copy !req
31. I'll handle it, Felix.Copy !req
32. Garrett Darby, the
Keyes' family attorney.Copy !req
33. Det. Logan, Det. Briscoe.Copy !req
34. We're checking on a call we
received, that Mr. Keyes was murdered.Copy !req
35. Mr. Keyes passed away last
night, but of natural causes.Copy !req
36. There was no reason
for anyone to call you.Copy !req
37. Where's the body?Copy !req
38. In the guest suite.Copy !req
39. A lawyer beats us to
the body. That's unique.Copy !req
40. These people get a hangnail, their
first call is to some pinstriped shyster.Copy !req
41. I tried to wake him, I
called him by name...Copy !req
42. I touched him. No response.Copy !req
43. So I called Dr. Brackley.Copy !req
44. Family history of hypertension.
Looks like heart failure.Copy !req
45. What was the occasion?Copy !req
46. He attended a charity
dinner, and then the ballet.Copy !req
47. Conveniently
dressed for his funeral.Copy !req
48. We separated after the ballet.Copy !req
49. I went to a party at Bunny Chapman's,
Jon wanted to get home early.Copy !req
50. Did he?Copy !req
51. Did he what? Get home early.Copy !req
52. Why, I have no idea.Copy !req
53. I got home around 4:00
and went straight to bed.Copy !req
54. I didn't see him.Copy !req
55. Separate rooms?Copy !req
56. I have a sleep disorder. The
slightest sound disturbs me.Copy !req
57. And sometimes we slept apart.Copy !req
58. Any idea who it was that called
us and said he was murdered?Copy !req
59. Well, someone must
have informed the tabloids...Copy !req
60. and they called you,
hoping for a headline.Copy !req
61. "Police Investigate
Keyes' Death."Copy !req
62. It's a pity you had
to oblige them.Copy !req
63. Yes, Felix?Copy !req
64. The men from the Medical
Examiner's Office are here.Copy !req
65. They want to remove Mr. Keyes.Copy !req
66. What? We called
them, Mrs. Keyes.Copy !req
67. We need a
determination of death.Copy !req
68. You're not taking my
husband's body out of here.Copy !req
69. Ma'am, without a
signed death certificate...Copy !req
70. the M.E. has to look at the
body. Excuse me, Det. Logan.Copy !req
71. I've spoken to
Commissioner Hastings...Copy !req
72. made him aware of this outrage.Copy !req
73. You know the law,
Counselor. Yes, I know it.Copy !req
74. And you know that a
restraining order will prevent...Copy !req
75. anyone from touching
that man's body.Copy !req
76. I'm not having my husband
carved up in some morgue.Copy !req
77. That's not our
intention, Mrs. Keyes.Copy !req
78. I'm Lt. Van Buren. Are you
here to stop this outrage?Copy !req
79. You called these
gentlemen? Yes...Copy !req
80. they're from Ehrhardt's
Funeral Home on 88th.Copy !req
81. Let them take the body. The
Medical Examiner's people...Copy !req
82. can do a review
at the funeral home.Copy !req
83. We'll enjoin
against any autopsy.Copy !req
84. Why don't we just see if
the M.E. can put this to rest...Copy !req
85. with a non-invasive examination?Copy !req
86. I know this is a terrible
time for you, Mrs. Keyes...Copy !req
87. but I'm sure you want to
know why your husband died.Copy !req
88. As long as he's not cut open.Copy !req
89. Hey, what in the hell
was that? What was what?Copy !req
90. You come out here, and you
make us look like a couple of idiots.Copy !req
91. We did get a call reporting a
murder. Well, I got calls, too.Copy !req
92. Yeah, and without talking
to us you pulled the plug.Copy !req
93. The plug was pulled
before I walked in that door.Copy !req
94. That body was
headed for injunction.Copy !req
95. Get real, Lieutenant.
We couldn't handle it?Copy !req
96. Is that what you're saying?Copy !req
97. What you can't handle
is my rank in a skirt.Copy !req
98. But this is neither the time
nor the place to discuss it.Copy !req
99. Now, I want you to find out
what's really going on here...Copy !req
100. before this thing
picks up more profile.Copy !req
101. No bruises, abrasions, nail
marks, obvious fractures.Copy !req
102. There's some indication of water immersion.
The skin on his fingers was wrinkled.Copy !req
103. And no way to tell about
any water in the lungs?Copy !req
104. No, but it seems unlikely.Copy !req
105. No petechial hemorrhages
or ecchymosis.Copy !req
106. Okay, so that rules out
strangulation, suffocation.Copy !req
107. What about poisoning?Copy !req
108. We might find something
in nasal swabs or saliva.Copy !req
109. I couldn't get clean blood
samples. He was too polluted.Copy !req
110. Polluted with what?
Formaldehyde.Copy !req
111. The body was embalmed before
I arrived at the funeral home.Copy !req
112. The director said
family's orders.Copy !req
113. Mrs. Keyes insists he
goes to a funeral home...Copy !req
114. then gets him embalmed
before they get a blood sample.Copy !req
115. You gotta give
me a break on that.Copy !req
116. That stinks.Copy !req
117. Mike, what's wrong
with this picture?Copy !req
118. He's wearing a cummerbund.Copy !req
119. He was laid out in a vest.Copy !req
120. They dressed
him after his death.Copy !req
121. Could be for appearances.Copy !req
122. Maybe he died on the toilet.Copy !req
123. Maybe he died in the saddle with
somebody other than Mrs. Keyes.Copy !req
124. Marcela Di Portago.Copy !req
125. We always flirted very openly.Copy !req
126. The media loved it, and Jonathan
loved having his picture in the paper.Copy !req
127. Mrs. Keyes share that love?Copy !req
128. Danielle is a silent
partner in this business.Copy !req
129. She thought talk of Kesey
and me would be good for trade.Copy !req
130. Where did the good friends
go when the music stopped?Copy !req
131. I left Dardenelle's on
my own around 2:00...Copy !req
132. and he was left with the
latest set of cheekbones.Copy !req
133. She have a name?
They all have names...Copy !req
134. but I never keep track of who
Kesey's playing house with.Copy !req
135. Four years back I picked
him up at LaGuardia.Copy !req
136. Got him across town through the
barricades on Puerto Rican Parade Day...Copy !req
137. and from then on, I was
his man. It's been good.Copy !req
138. I'll miss him.Copy !req
139. Maybe Mrs. Keyes
will keep the limo.Copy !req
140. She can keep the
job that goes with it.Copy !req
141. She's not fun, like Mr. Keyes?
Nasty piece of work.Copy !req
142. Anyway, lucky for me, Mr. K didn't
spend a whole lot of time with her.Copy !req
143. Who did he spend his time with?Copy !req
144. Nowadays, just Cathy
Rogers, the cover girl.Copy !req
145. What about her? Is she just something
to wear on his arm for the night?Copy !req
146. No, no, they were getting
regular. He cared about her.Copy !req
147. Did Mrs. Keyes
care that he cared?Copy !req
148. Mrs. Keyes cared
about Mrs. Keyes, period.Copy !req
149. Lovely, darling. All
right, a little more smile.Copy !req
150. Perfect. I love it.Copy !req
151. I'm not seeing your eyes.Copy !req
152. Excuse me. We're
looking for Cathy Rogers.Copy !req
153. She's not here. That's
not what her agency said.Copy !req
154. Okay.Copy !req
155. Perfect. Lovely.Copy !req
156. The press have been
driving the poor thing crazy.Copy !req
157. She came here to hide.
She's in no shape to work.Copy !req
158. Cathy...Copy !req
159. these men are from the police.Copy !req
160. I'm Det. Briscoe.
This is Det. Logan.Copy !req
161. She killed him.Copy !req
162. You think that? Did
you call the police?Copy !req
163. No. But when I heard
he was dead, I knew.Copy !req
164. We happen to know you
were with him last night.Copy !req
165. If I tell you something, how do I know
you're not going to sell it to the press?Copy !req
166. My manager says, as an
exclusive, my story's worth a lot.Copy !req
167. Maybe even a TV movie deal.Copy !req
168. Well, it could also mean obstruction
and time in a cell at Bedford.Copy !req
169. Why would I withhold evidence?Copy !req
170. I was crazy for Kesey.Copy !req
171. I told everyone he was
the best lover I ever had.Copy !req
172. Living up to that might be quite
a challenge for a guy his age.Copy !req
173. Maybe last night, he was reaching
for the stars and got a vapor lock?Copy !req
174. There was nothing
wrong with him last night.Copy !req
175. He was great, like always.Copy !req
176. Afterwards, we took
a shower together.Copy !req
177. He wanted more...Copy !req
178. but I had an early
shoot, so I left.Copy !req
179. Was he wearing a tux
when you tucked him in?Copy !req
180. He was watching CNN when I left.Copy !req
181. When I got home, I called him,
so he'd know that I was okay.Copy !req
182. We talked for a while, then
she came into his room...Copy !req
183. so we had to hang up.Copy !req
184. The whore is lying.
I didn't speak to him.Copy !req
185. I can't even confirm or deny
that he had a guest in his suite.Copy !req
186. We didn't intrude
on each other's lives.Copy !req
187. Well, the problem is, you
told us he slept downstairs...Copy !req
188. because of your sleep disorder.Copy !req
189. Well, I really didn't see where my
sex life was any of your business.Copy !req
190. Doesn't it bother you
that someone out there...Copy !req
191. is describing your late husband
as the best lover she's ever had?Copy !req
192. Read the tabloids,
Mr. Logan. She's not the first.Copy !req
193. Jonathan gave his last slut a check
for $25,000 for giving him rave reviews.Copy !req
194. He had a large ego.Copy !req
195. I accepted it and I
was well compensated.Copy !req
196. Yeah, well, we still have
a problem about the tux.Copy !req
197. Perhaps she was
presenting him with an award.Copy !req
198. I'm sorry I'm late.
Traffic was bad.Copy !req
199. Do I have to submit to
this? What is the law?Copy !req
200. The law is that these men have no
business investigating Mr. Keyes' death.Copy !req
201. Here's a report from the
Medical Examiner's Office...Copy !req
202. stating his opinion that Jonathan
Keyes died of natural causes.Copy !req
203. Felix will show you out.Copy !req
204. My uncle died in
his bib overalls.Copy !req
205. Before the relatives arrived,
he was in a white linen suit...Copy !req
206. with his hands folded
over a Panama hat.Copy !req
207. There's nothing unusual
about dressing him.Copy !req
208. Yeah, but none of your cousins called
the police and said he was murdered.Copy !req
209. Uncle Willie didn't have
24-hour-a-day surveillance by the press.Copy !req
210. We've got the girl du jour who
says that the wife paid him a visit...Copy !req
211. just before he died.Copy !req
212. Who's also trying to
sell the movie rights.Copy !req
213. Look, nine out of 10 of the little
people are saying the wife's guilty.Copy !req
214. But it doesn't build you a case.Copy !req
215. Lennie, just took
a call for you.Copy !req
216. The son, Lance Keyes,
wants a call back at his club.Copy !req
217. Have fun. He's with his lawyer.Copy !req
218. Case closed?Copy !req
219. Officially, you're on lunch.Copy !req
220. We played squash last week.
He beat me three straight.Copy !req
221. This was not natural causes.Copy !req
222. The Medical Examiner disagrees.Copy !req
223. What, like those
people can't be bought?Copy !req
224. Lance's father was
planning a divorce.Copy !req
225. The pre-nuptial agreement
would have limited Danielle...Copy !req
226. to the income from
a $1 million trust.Copy !req
227. And she can't live on that?Copy !req
228. Well, she could live a lot
better on a third of his assets.Copy !req
229. That comes to $36 million
she would get from his will...Copy !req
230. not to mention the
estate in Southampton.Copy !req
231. Where the grieving widow is
entertaining 200 of his closest mourners...Copy !req
232. even as we speak.Copy !req
233. Well, you have to understand...Copy !req
234. we're stuck with the M.E.'s
report until we get something new.Copy !req
235. Look, if it's a matter
of money... Lance.Copy !req
236. We just want to help
you any way we can.Copy !req
237. Kids hate their stepmothers
on principle. Read Cinderella.Copy !req
238. And young Lance here has a
legitimate motive, his old man's dough.Copy !req
239. I mean, anything that doesn't go to the
wife goes directly into his bank account.Copy !req
240. Listen, funeral homes, no
morgue, embalmings, no autopsy...Copy !req
241. somebody else is
calling our shots here.Copy !req
242. You got a couple
of hundred million,Copy !req
243. you get treated
different when you kick.Copy !req
244. Come on. When was the last
time someone reported a murder...Copy !req
245. and CSU didn't work the room?Copy !req
246. Well, I don't see anybody
giving us a warrant...Copy !req
247. and I don't see me blowing
my pension over this.Copy !req
248. Walk on the wild side,
Lennie. If this guy is a victim...Copy !req
249. we got every right to get up close
and personal with the crime scene.Copy !req
250. Well, let's hope the weather
holds in the Hamptons.Copy !req
251. I think I really must call Mrs. Keyes.
I'm sure she would not allow this.Copy !req
252. Remember Mr. Keyes?
You think he'd allow it?Copy !req
253. You have to
polish all this stuff?Copy !req
254. A different specialist
for every body part.Copy !req
255. I'm glad I'm not rich enough
to know how sick I am.Copy !req
256. Different doctors, but all
from the same pharmacy.Copy !req
257. Someone didn't clean too well.Copy !req
258. The brown spot, dried blood?Copy !req
259. Injection, maybe.Copy !req
260. Look at this.Copy !req
261. That look like the top of
a medicine bottle to you?Copy !req
262. Boy, everything ends
up in the dust ruffle.Copy !req
263. What's that, the luck of
the Irish? Yeah, maybe.Copy !req
264. Lab report on the cotton.
The brown spot is blood.Copy !req
265. It matches Keyes' type...Copy !req
266. minute traces of rubbing
alcohol and insulin.Copy !req
267. That's wonderful, Mike.
Let me ask you this.Copy !req
268. Either one of you
ever hear of a warrant?Copy !req
269. It's the victim's apartment. You
don't need a warrant for a crime scene.Copy !req
270. It's also the grieving widow's apartment,
which may make your precious...Copy !req
271. cotton ball
inadmissible against her.Copy !req
272. Well, at least now we
know what we're looking for.Copy !req
273. People die from
too much insulin.Copy !req
274. Ever think the guy was diabetic?Copy !req
275. Okay, so we get a warrant
for the pharmacy's records.Copy !req
276. Any warrant gets us a call
from downtown. Forget the judge.Copy !req
277. We'll talk to the housekeeper.Copy !req
278. She ought to know if
there's a diabetic in the family.Copy !req
279. I certainly would have
known if anyone has diabetes.Copy !req
280. How can you be so sure?Copy !req
281. Because I make all the
doctor's appointments...Copy !req
282. and I know everything
that goes on in their lives.Copy !req
283. You mean, like, why Mr. Keyes got up
at 4:00 in the morning and put on a tux?Copy !req
284. Look, you want to tell us once more
how he really looked when you found him?Copy !req
285. Why should I?Copy !req
286. I mean, people tell you something,
you don't pay any attention, anyhow.Copy !req
287. Mike, don't you
think it's funny...Copy !req
288. that we find a stray
cotton ball in the bedroom?Copy !req
289. Makes me wonder
who made that call.Copy !req
290. It was you, wasn't it?Copy !req
291. I don't know what
you're talking about.Copy !req
292. All right, look, we're gonna finish
this conversation at the precinct.Copy !req
293. I have the right to make a call.Copy !req
294. Well, Mrs. Keyes did not...Copy !req
295. want him found nude, see.Copy !req
296. And with the room, of
course, it was obvious...Copy !req
297. you know, what
had been going on.Copy !req
298. So you cleaned up
before you called us.Copy !req
299. Yes.Copy !req
300. I made the bed...Copy !req
301. and I dressed him.Copy !req
302. Now, why did you do that?Copy !req
303. Because I wanted to find out...Copy !req
304. if there was any
indication of murder.Copy !req
305. Besides, Mr. Keyes
always told me...Copy !req
306. I had to obey Mrs. Keyes.Copy !req
307. Of course, he knew how I felt.Copy !req
308. Well, if you didn't like
her, why didn't you quit?Copy !req
309. We go back a long time...Copy !req
310. to his first marriage.Copy !req
311. And I raised their son, Lance...Copy !req
312. and when his mother died...Copy !req
313. I was needed.Copy !req
314. I stayed.Copy !req
315. Lance Keyes and
his attorney are here.Copy !req
316. I guess now we know
who Helga called.Copy !req
317. What do you mean, you
investigated on your own?Copy !req
318. Well, things were
going slowly...Copy !req
319. and Lance thought
it would be prudent...Copy !req
320. to hire his own investigator.Copy !req
321. Somebody who wouldn't be
intimidated by my stepmother.Copy !req
322. He found this bag in
Mrs. Keyes' bathroom.Copy !req
323. And inside the bag he
found a smaller bag...Copy !req
324. which contained...Copy !req
325. We had it tested. It's
coated with insulin.Copy !req
326. That's how she killed him.Copy !req
327. How do we know it
wasn't your father's?Copy !req
328. Mr. Keyes wasn't
allowed into her bedroom...Copy !req
329. much less into her bathroom.Copy !req
330. We also obtained...Copy !req
331. payment records from
Bergman's Pharmacy.Copy !req
332. Two weeks ago, Mrs.
Keyes purchased...Copy !req
333. insulin and syringes.Copy !req
334. This is all very convenient.Copy !req
335. How can I be sure
someone didn't plant all this?Copy !req
336. The syringe is
covered with her prints.Copy !req
337. You can test it
yourself, if you like.Copy !req
338. She was the only
one home that night.Copy !req
339. Excuse us a minute.Copy !req
340. If they were all this easy...Copy !req
341. I don't like being hand delivered
evidence by an interested party.Copy !req
342. Hey, if our hands weren't
tied, we would have found it.Copy !req
343. You've got insulin on the
needle, in her bathroom...Copy !req
344. her prints, the girlfriend
puts her at the scene.Copy !req
345. You got probable
cause for arrest.Copy !req
346. But nothing links it
to the man's death.Copy !req
347. - Remember the M.E.'s report.
- Natural causes.Copy !req
348. Because the M.E.'s hands were tied,
they couldn't touch the body, remember?Copy !req
349. As long as we're stuck with that
report, we don't have a murder.Copy !req
350. Oh, come on. You're not
saying we're gonna back off?Copy !req
351. No. I'm gonna call the D.A.,
and we're gonna dig Keyes up.Copy !req
352. Lieutenant, I don't
care who called you.Copy !req
353. Either you investigate a case properly
or you consider an early retirement.Copy !req
354. Hold it.Copy !req
355. Everything I did was by
the book, in capital letters.Copy !req
356. By preventing an
autopsy? Read the file.Copy !req
357. The doctor on the scene
said he died of natural causes.Copy !req
358. And it never occurred to you...Copy !req
359. that he might have had a
personal stake in that diagnosis?Copy !req
360. Remind me never to take a trip
with you in the back seat, Counselor.Copy !req
361. It's an easy call
now, in this office.Copy !req
362. I'm not unaware of your
predicament, Lieutenant.Copy !req
363. Twenty-six calls this morning...Copy !req
364. including seven
congressmen and three judges.Copy !req
365. People are taking "rest
in peace" very seriously.Copy !req
366. But it's got nothing to do with
the facts, Adam. You both know it...Copy !req
367. and you're going to
let that influence you?Copy !req
368. No, but it may influence the
poor bastard on the bench...Copy !req
369. who's gotta decide whether
to start digging up dead bodies.Copy !req
370. Mrs. Keyes is in your office with her
attorney, Prof. Norman Rothenberg.Copy !req
371. There you go.Copy !req
372. The rich are different.
They get better lawyers.Copy !req
373. Damn it, Ben, what happened to
civility? The man's dead and buried.Copy !req
374. We'd just like to confirm that
that ceremony wasn't premature.Copy !req
375. What, is business so slow you
had to start manufacturing crimes?Copy !req
376. Well, she certainly had motive.Copy !req
377. In a few years, Ms.
Kincaid, hopefully...Copy !req
378. you will be able to judge
without being judgmental.Copy !req
379. An insulin-encrusted syringe...Copy !req
380. with your client's fingerprints
on it, found in her bathroom.Copy !req
381. That's about as close to a
smoking gun as you can get.Copy !req
382. If there were evidence that the cause
of death was insulin poisoning, yes.Copy !req
383. The chicken or the egg, Norman.
That's why we applied for an exhumation.Copy !req
384. And you expect a judge to
raise the dead on a hunch?Copy !req
385. A cotton ball with traces
of insulin found in his room.Copy !req
386. That's hardly a jump.Copy !req
387. Please don't insult me. You know
the cotton was illegally obtained.Copy !req
388. A judge can't
ever consider that.Copy !req
389. It was the victim's apartment.Copy !req
390. It was a condo, Ben, held
in tenancy by the entirety.Copy !req
391. At Mr. Keyes' death...Copy !req
392. the property moved to Mrs.
Keyes as a matter of law.Copy !req
393. So you can go around in
circles as much as you want...Copy !req
394. Ben, it still isn't going
to get you anywhere.Copy !req
395. I'll let a judge decide.Copy !req
396. And when he does, a simple...Copy !req
397. "I'm sorry" won't be sufficient.Copy !req
398. Is that a threat, Norman? No.Copy !req
399. It's a promise.Copy !req
400. Somehow, I don't
feel that sorry for her.Copy !req
401. Let's get enough back-up
so that a judge has to agree.Copy !req
402. Danielle was to the manor born.Copy !req
403. Only they just put a third
mortgage on the manor.Copy !req
404. Jonathan's bank account helped
put the shine back in her crown.Copy !req
405. Her granddaddy was
some sort of a duke.Copy !req
406. Did Mr. Keyes know that his wife
only married him for the money?Copy !req
407. Well, Jonathan's interests
were more libidinous.Copy !req
408. You should have seen
Danny 10 years ago.Copy !req
409. She looked a little like
Cathy Rogers. Supermodel.Copy !req
410. Can anyone blame him?Copy !req
411. I'm really only interested in
whether his wife blamed him.Copy !req
412. Well, in their circles, these
kind of flings are expected.Copy !req
413. But what's good for the gander
is not always good for the goose.Copy !req
414. Mrs. Keyes had a
relationship, too?Copy !req
415. Jonathan's ego couldn't take it.Copy !req
416. Who was the boyfriend?
Well, to put it delicately...Copy !req
417. Marcela Di Portago...Copy !req
418. was more than a
business partner.Copy !req
419. Haven't you heard
it's chic to be gay?Copy !req
420. And if she was anything,
Danielle was chic.Copy !req
421. It lasted a few months.
So it wasn't serious?Copy !req
422. Look, Danielle was curious. She needed
something to talk about in the sauna.Copy !req
423. It was nothing.Copy !req
424. Well, unfortunately,
it was to Jonathan.Copy !req
425. Why, because he
didn't get to watch?Copy !req
426. My dalliance with Danielle
may have been touted...Copy !req
427. as grounds for the upcoming
divorce. But it wasn't the reason.Copy !req
428. Well, what was?Copy !req
429. My guess is, poor Kesey finally
got tired of using the guest room.Copy !req
430. You mean he wasn't there out of
choice? More like out of desperation.Copy !req
431. Playing the male rogue hormones
was his way of trying to excite her.Copy !req
432. So you're saying that he loved
her? Of course it was useless.Copy !req
433. There was a reason why
Cosmo calls her the "Ice Princess."Copy !req
434. In 10 years, I saw her
get excited only once...Copy !req
435. when Lutèce ran out
of Chateau d'Yquem.Copy !req
436. Expensive way to wash
down your medicine.Copy !req
437. Did she use insulin?Copy !req
438. Supplied more than
generously by Whit Ferguson.Copy !req
439. The writer?Copy !req
440. Of course, I am myopic...Copy !req
441. allergic, xenophobic...Copy !req
442. and some of my closer
friends would swear on a stack...Copy !req
443. that I'm schizophrenic.Copy !req
444. Do you think I'm paranoid?Copy !req
445. I'm really only interested
in the diabetes, sir.Copy !req
446. Shame. It's the
least fun of all.Copy !req
447. The price of overindulgence
and my grandfather's curse.Copy !req
448. For leaving Charleston,
you understand.Copy !req
449. And you're required to inject
insulin? Sins of the fathers.Copy !req
450. What is it again that you do?
I'm an assistant district attorney.Copy !req
451. Face like that, you should be sipping
Cristal in the Bois de Boulogne...Copy !req
452. and not black coffee at
Irving's on Court Street.Copy !req
453. Amazing what the Russians
can do with a potato.Copy !req
454. So, it's really a terrific
scandal, don't you think?Copy !req
455. I always knew she
had murder in her eyes.Copy !req
456. And you got her the insulin?Copy !req
457. You don't need a
prescription, my dear.Copy !req
458. Well, you do for syringes. True.Copy !req
459. To tell the truth, I always
thought a pearl-handled derringer...Copy !req
460. in a beaded purse
was more her style.Copy !req
461. As far as I knew, the insulin
was purely for the war on cellulite.Copy !req
462. She injected herself
in order to lose weight?Copy !req
463. Some people will do
anything to fit into a size 3.Copy !req
464. The Keyes were convinced that insulin
would burn off all those crème brûlées.Copy !req
465. You mean Jonathan
Keyes injected himself, too?Copy !req
466. Oh, Johnny boy didn't have the
gumption to stick a needle in himself.Copy !req
467. No, he just closed his eyes
and let Danny have all the fun.Copy !req
468. When was the last time
you gave her a syringe?Copy !req
469. I couldn't be bothered.Copy !req
470. I instructed my pharmacist
that from time to time...Copy !req
471. Mrs. Keyes would be picking
up my prescription for me.Copy !req
472. These people never
heard of exercise?Copy !req
473. Why sweat when you can shoot up?Copy !req
474. I thought insulin induced
coma, not heart failure.Copy !req
475. Well, Keyes' physician said
hypertension ran in the family.Copy !req
476. And M.E. told me...Copy !req
477. that an unwarranted amount of insulin
could definitely cause cardiac problems.Copy !req
478. We still can't prove Mrs.
Keyes did the injecting.Copy !req
479. Whit Ferguson
signed an affidavit...Copy !req
480. saying that Mr. Keyes
never injected himself.Copy !req
481. Now, Ben, they found a used syringe
in her bathroom with her prints on it.Copy !req
482. I think that's sufficient to warrant an
autopsy, even if I am a little prejudiced.Copy !req
483. You are? Yeah.Copy !req
484. Well, let's hope Judge Mooney
shares your character flaw.Copy !req
485. I've reviewed the State's application
and the affidavits filed therewith...Copy !req
486. and I have to say they make a
hell of a compelling argument.Copy !req
487. Can I assume...Copy !req
488. by your virtual lack of
answering papers, Professor...Copy !req
489. that you're letting
this go unopposed?Copy !req
490. No, on the contrary, Your Honor.Copy !req
491. There's no way that mere
documentation can communicate...Copy !req
492. the enormity of our opposition.Copy !req
493. This is a factual finding,
Norman, it's not a melodrama.Copy !req
494. And have we reached the
point in jurisprudence where...Copy !req
495. humanity and compassion
have been totally discarded?Copy !req
496. Please, Mr. Rothenberg. I have
enough trouble breathing the air outside.Copy !req
497. I assume Mrs. Keyes
wishes to make a statement.Copy !req
498. She does, Your Honor.Copy !req
499. Take your time, Danielle.Copy !req
500. This is my husband we're
discussing, not some corpse.Copy !req
501. For 10 years, we were happy.Copy !req
502. Norman's told me what
happens during an autopsy.Copy !req
503. I don't know what you
have against us, Mr. Stone.Copy !req
504. I assume it must be the money. I doubt that
you'd go to this trouble for anyone else.Copy !req
505. You just don't
understand. I loved him.Copy !req
506. Mrs. Keyes, how do you explain
the used hypodermic needle...Copy !req
507. with your fingerprints on
it, found in your bathroom?Copy !req
508. No, I always disposed of the
needles when I was through.Copy !req
509. I haven't injected myself
for several months.Copy !req
510. The pharmacy's
records indicate...Copy !req
511. that you purchased insulin within
two weeks of your husband's death.Copy !req
512. Well, yes, but that
was for Jonathan.Copy !req
513. I wanted him to stop. I
knew that it wasn't healthy...Copy !req
514. but he was a
chronic overeater...Copy !req
515. and he injected himself
every time he had a big meal.Copy !req
516. Mr. Ferguson stated
in his affidavit...Copy !req
517. that your husband was
afraid of injecting himself.Copy !req
518. At first, but when I
refused to inject him...Copy !req
519. his vanity overcame his fear.Copy !req
520. Then, Mrs. Keyes, what were your
fingerprints doing on that syringe?Copy !req
521. I have no idea.Copy !req
522. The attending physician
certified that the cause of death...Copy !req
523. was cardiac arrest.Copy !req
524. Which is consistent with an
insulin overdose, Your Honor.Copy !req
525. If it was, somebody somewhere
is liable for something.Copy !req
526. The body will be exhumed
with all due speed.Copy !req
527. And, Mrs. Keyes...Copy !req
528. if the autopsy
comes up negative...Copy !req
529. you have my deepest
apologies. Thank you.Copy !req
530. Tissue samples were
removed from the coronalCopy !req
531. mastoid area and
right frontal lobes.Copy !req
532. We run an RIA and...Copy !req
533. This is his brain.Copy !req
534. This is his brain on
drugs. What kind of drugs?Copy !req
535. Your Mr. Keyes was
swimming in insulin.Copy !req
536. Surprise, surprise. It's
enough for an arrest.Copy !req
537. Not exactly the
Staten Island Ferry.Copy !req
538. You kidding? These people
could probably buy Staten Island.Copy !req
539. Not now, Popeye.Copy !req
540. Couldn't this wait
until tomorrow?Copy !req
541. I told your office that Mrs.
Keyes would surrender voluntarily.Copy !req
542. Danielle Keyes, you're under arrest
for the murder of Jonathan Keyes.Copy !req
543. You have the right to remain...Copy !req
544. Come on, Detective. Don't you
think I've already advised Mrs. Keyes...Copy !req
545. on everything she needs to know? And
the handcuffs certainly won't be necessary.Copy !req
546. Counselor, you've
heard of pro forma.Copy !req
547. You have the right
to remain silent.Copy !req
548. It was in Mrs. Keyes'
bathroom, under the sink.Copy !req
549. There was a bag, like a gym bag.Copy !req
550. I opened it, and there was
a small cloth purse inside.Copy !req
551. And in that purse? There was
a syringe and an empty vial.Copy !req
552. Is this the syringe, Mr. Quinn?Copy !req
553. Yes.Copy !req
554. Offered as evidence.Copy !req
555. Call it People's 14.Copy !req
556. And what did you
do with the syringe?Copy !req
557. I took it to the
Tyler-Hampton Laboratory.Copy !req
558. They tested it...Copy !req
559. and they told me there were
still traces of insulin on the needle.Copy !req
560. Thank you.Copy !req
561. Who was it who first suggested that
you search Mrs. Keyes' bathroom?Copy !req
562. Their son, Lance Keyes.Copy !req
563. And did he specifically ask you to
search the cabinet beneath the sink?Copy !req
564. Yes.Copy !req
565. And when you found the gym
bag, did you open it immediately?Copy !req
566. No, it was locked. Lance
told me to rip it open.Copy !req
567. Let me back up a few
steps here, Mr. Quinn.Copy !req
568. On the day of your search, did Lance
actually let you into the apartment?Copy !req
569. No, he didn't have a key.
The housekeeper let us in.Copy !req
570. Did you have a warrant, sir?Copy !req
571. I've been off the police force 10
years now. I'm a private citizen.Copy !req
572. I don't need a warrant.
It was a good search.Copy !req
573. It sounds like a
good burglary to me.Copy !req
574. Objection. I object,
too, Your Honor...Copy !req
575. and I renew my motion
to suppress the syringe...Copy !req
576. as it was obtained
by an illegal search.Copy !req
577. You're both overruled.Copy !req
578. By the way, Mr. Quinn...Copy !req
579. how much did Lance Keyes
pay you for your services?Copy !req
580. $20,000.Copy !req
581. It was a little after 8:30...Copy !req
582. I found him on the
bathroom floor, naked.Copy !req
583. Can you explain why
the dead body was...Copy !req
584. fully clothed when
the police arrived?Copy !req
585. Well, Mrs. Keyes asked
me to clean him up.Copy !req
586. It wouldn't look right,
she said, considering.Copy !req
587. When you found
Mr. Keyes on the floor...Copy !req
588. was there a syringe or any other
drug paraphernalia in the area?Copy !req
589. No.Copy !req
590. One last question, Miss Holtz.Copy !req
591. Why did you call the police and tell
them that Mr. Keyes had been murdered?Copy !req
592. Because I know Mrs. Keyes.Copy !req
593. Thank you.Copy !req
594. Your Honor, my
associate, Gerald Austin...Copy !req
595. will be conducting the
remainder of the trial.Copy !req
596. Any objections, Mr. Stone?Copy !req
597. No, Your Honor.Copy !req
598. To the best of your memory...Copy !req
599. what did you serve to
Mr. Keyes for dinner that night?Copy !req
600. Veal roast, mashed
potatoes, and...Copy !req
601. oh, yes, a white Bordeaux.Copy !req
602. What about dessert?Copy !req
603. German chocolate cake.Copy !req
604. And a sauterne, yeah.Copy !req
605. Did Mr. Keyes have more
than one slice of cake?Copy !req
606. He had two.Copy !req
607. Sounds to me like you're
trying to fatten him up.Copy !req
608. Well, I didn't pick the menu,
you know. Mrs. Keyes did.Copy !req
609. Yet you served it...Copy !req
610. knowing full well that it
would surely cause him...Copy !req
611. to inject himself with a
potentially dangerous drug?Copy !req
612. I would never...Copy !req
613. never hurt Mr. Keyes.Copy !req
614. $400 an hour is a lot to
pay for the second string.Copy !req
615. I assume you're giving
Mrs. Keyes a discount.Copy !req
616. Well, the trial is
spring training, Ben.Copy !req
617. Season doesn't start until I'm
pitching to a room full of judges.Copy !req
618. Norman, even you
need grounds for appeal.Copy !req
619. And on the record
so far, it won't be easy.Copy !req
620. In 20 years, DiMaggio never had to dive
for a ball. They all came right to him.Copy !req
621. It's funny how that works.Copy !req
622. That went right past me.Copy !req
623. He's gonna throw this
whole thing right in the tank.Copy !req
624. He thinks he already
has grounds for appeal.Copy !req
625. He's giving his assistant
a little experience...Copy !req
626. while he gets a
head start on his brief.Copy !req
627. But appeal with what?Copy !req
628. I was at his apartment
until 2:00 in the morning...Copy !req
629. and then his driver,
Murphy, took me home.Copy !req
630. Were you alone in
the apartment? No.Copy !req
631. The lights were on in the master
bedroom. Mrs. Keyes was upstairs.Copy !req
632. When you arrived
home, what did you do?Copy !req
633. I called Jonathan.Copy !req
634. He wanted to be
sure I got home okay.Copy !req
635. We talked for
about five minutes...Copy !req
636. and then he said he
had to go. Why is that?Copy !req
637. Jonathan said that she
wanted to talk to him.Copy !req
638. You mean Mrs. Keyes?Copy !req
639. Yes.Copy !req
640. Thank you.Copy !req
641. Did you actually
hear Mrs. Keyes...Copy !req
642. while you were on the phone?Copy !req
643. He was talking to a
woman. Helga was gone.Copy !req
644. Who else would be in
his apartment at that hour?Copy !req
645. That's right, what would
possibly make me think...Copy !req
646. that a woman other than his
wife would enter his bedroom?Copy !req
647. Yes, the gym bag was mine...Copy !req
648. but I have no idea how it
got into my bathroom cabinet.Copy !req
649. What about the cloth purse?Copy !req
650. Yes, that was mine, too, but
I haven't used it for months.Copy !req
651. I keep it at our house
in Southampton.Copy !req
652. When you found out that your
husband had passed away...Copy !req
653. what did you do?Copy !req
654. I telephoned Lance.Copy !req
655. And where was he at the time?Copy !req
656. At our house in Southampton.Copy !req
657. The same place you
kept the cloth purse.Copy !req
658. Does that suggest
anything to you, Mrs. Keyes?Copy !req
659. Objection. Withdrawn.Copy !req
660. Thank you, Mrs. Keyes.Copy !req
661. One more question, Mrs. Keyes.Copy !req
662. Did you ever give Lance
permission to go into your bathroom?Copy !req
663. Of course not.Copy !req
664. I never gave him permission
to enter my apartment.Copy !req
665. Your witness.Copy !req
666. Mrs. Keyes, why does your
husband sleep in the guest room?Copy !req
667. I assume he had company.Copy !req
668. And does he often have company?Copy !req
669. We were married, Mr. Stone.Copy !req
670. What we did, where we did it, with
whom it was done was irrelevant.Copy !req
671. I loved Jonathan
and he loved me.Copy !req
672. But don't you get angry...Copy !req
673. when you know your husband
is sleeping with another woman...Copy !req
674. in your own apartment?Copy !req
675. I don't expect
you to understand.Copy !req
676. Jonathan and I were different.Copy !req
677. Ah, yes, it would seem so...Copy !req
678. because most people, when
they want to lose weight...Copy !req
679. they eat less.Copy !req
680. And most wives, they care...Copy !req
681. when their husbands have
affairs, and most wives...Copy !req
682. when they find...Copy !req
683. their husband dead
on the bathroom floor...Copy !req
684. they call the police...Copy !req
685. before they dress him up
in a tuxedo. Isn't that right?Copy !req
686. I am not most people, Mr. Stone.Copy !req
687. But if your husband divorced
you, you would be, wouldn't you?Copy !req
688. And then you'd be
just like everybody else.Copy !req
689. And you couldn't
stand that, could you?Copy !req
690. Mr. Stone.Copy !req
691. Any objections, Mr. Austin?Copy !req
692. No.Copy !req
693. Mr. Rothenberg?Copy !req
694. No, Your Honor.Copy !req
695. Thank you, Your Honor.Copy !req
696. He had to know the
jury would hate her.Copy !req
697. He put her on the stand
to establish illegal entry.Copy !req
698. He could care less about
her effect on the jury.Copy !req
699. The search is still good. There are
200 years of precedent on our side.Copy !req
700. And Mr. Rothenberg
would love to change that.Copy !req
701. So we better start researching
our response to his appeal now.Copy !req
702. But we don't even
have a verdict yet.Copy !req
703. We will. My guess is two hours.Copy !req
704. We'll get a conviction,
followed by an appeal.Copy !req
705. On the sole count of the indictment,
murder in the second degree...Copy !req
706. how do you find?Copy !req
707. We find the defendant guilty.Copy !req
708. Move to continue bail
pending appeal, Judge.Copy !req
709. A little quick out of the
gate, aren't you, Counselor?Copy !req
710. Your Honor, I object. At least
until the People are served...Copy !req
711. with a notice of appeal.Copy !req
712. - Consider yourself served.
- Bail is continued.Copy !req
713. Mrs. Keyes is getting her
money's worth. A 100-page brief.Copy !req
714. And he doesn't cite
one case on point.Copy !req
715. Private investigators
don't need warrants.Copy !req
716. I've got Federal and
State cases to prove it.Copy !req
717. You have five judges
there, Miss Kincaid.Copy !req
718. Two of whom have to turn
right to see Thurgood Marshall.Copy !req
719. The woman killed her husband...Copy !req
720. we've got the murder
weapon, a jury found her guilty.Copy !req
721. But she's no longer on trial.Copy !req
722. It's an appeal. Now it's
the lawyers' turn to be tried.Copy !req
723. Ben, nice brief.Copy !req
724. I don't think you missed a case.Copy !req
725. You must be pretty
confident, Norman.Copy !req
726. You don't start handing out compliments
unless you think you're gonna win.Copy !req
727. Well, the way I look at it,
you've got Marshall and Bryant...Copy !req
728. Jensen and Bloom are with me...Copy !req
729. and the swing vote is
definitely Justice Getman.Copy !req
730. Norman, I don't mind when
you want to expand the law.Copy !req
731. I just wish when you do it,
you'd pick a more deserving client.Copy !req
732. My only concern is the law.Copy !req
733. I'll leave justice to a
more majestic authority.Copy !req
734. Unconscionable is too
tame a word, Your Honor.Copy !req
735. The surreptitious search
of a woman's bathroom...Copy !req
736. is contrary to what Cardozo
called "the very essence...Copy !req
737. of a scheme of ordered liberty."Copy !req
738. Justice demands that
the fruits of that search...Copy !req
739. namely the syringe, be excluded.Copy !req
740. Correct me if I'm
wrong, Professor...Copy !req
741. but wasn't the search
conducted by a private individual?Copy !req
742. The Constitution
requires State action.Copy !req
743. The perpetrator was...Copy !req
744. a private investigator
licensed by the State.Copy !req
745. In effect, he was an
agent of the government.Copy !req
746. Only the Supreme Court ruled...Copy !req
747. a liquor license didn't make a
private club an agent of the State.Copy !req
748. The private investigator's
license is distinguishable.Copy !req
749. It empowers an individual...Copy !req
750. to serve in a law
enforcement capacity...Copy !req
751. an activity exclusively
reserved to the state.Copy !req
752. And on the facts in this case...Copy !req
753. particularly, the
state has benefited...Copy !req
754. from his illegal actions.Copy !req
755. Just as we would not tolerate governmental
intrusion into Mrs. Keyes' bathroom...Copy !req
756. we should not tolerate a
thinly-veiled agent of the government...Copy !req
757. to violate what the
Framers deemed inviolable.Copy !req
758. If we do, individuals who can afford a fee
of $20,000 for a private investigator...Copy !req
759. would be the recipients
of a higher form of justice...Copy !req
760. than those of us who cannot.Copy !req
761. Thank you, Your Honors.Copy !req
762. It's black letter law.Copy !req
763. The Fourth Amendment
is designed to regulate...Copy !req
764. governmental activity only...Copy !req
765. and any private search,
no matter how egregious...Copy !req
766. cannot be
constitutionally prohibited.Copy !req
767. What if the search was
specifically designed...Copy !req
768. to further a
governmental objective?Copy !req
769. Any search that uncovers
evidence later to be used at trial...Copy !req
770. is furthering
governmental objectives.Copy !req
771. So, Mr. Stone...Copy !req
772. while I'm sitting unconscious
in my dentist's chair...Copy !req
773. he decides to search my
briefcase, and finds a gun.Copy !req
774. You think it should be admissible
against me in a murder trial?Copy !req
775. The Supreme Court
thinks so, Your Honor.Copy !req
776. And carried to the extreme...Copy !req
777. if a police officer doesn't have
sufficient cause to obtain a warrant...Copy !req
778. he can get a private
citizen to do his dirty work.Copy !req
779. Yes, but in this case, it was
the son of the murdered victim...Copy !req
780. who requested the search.Copy !req
781. And if he couldn't afford the
services of a private investigator...Copy !req
782. this case never would have
come to trial. Is that correct?Copy !req
783. Of course it's correct.Copy !req
784. Once again, how much
justice can you afford?Copy !req
785. If there is a double
standard, Your Honors...Copy !req
786. we should eliminate it not by lowering
the justice available to the wealthy...Copy !req
787. but by raising the quality
of justice for everyone.Copy !req
788. Thank you, Mr. Stone.Copy !req
789. Did the appellate victory
come as a surprise?Copy !req
790. No, what surprises me is
that it has taken this long...Copy !req
791. for our legal system to
recognize such a basic violation...Copy !req
792. of an individual's
civil liberties.Copy !req
793. It's a 3-2 decision.
We're gonna appeal.Copy !req
794. And who's footing your bills?Copy !req
795. The Court limited its holding to
the particular facts of this case.Copy !req
796. So we count our blessings
and retry the woman.Copy !req
797. With what?Copy !req
798. After the appeal, we
can't use the syringe.Copy !req
799. It's tough to prove an intentional
murder without a murder weapon.Copy !req
800. What if it wasn't intentional?Copy !req
801. What if we argue that
despite the evidence...Copy !req
802. it was his overdose.Copy !req
803. But that Mrs. Keyes
chose the menu...Copy !req
804. she knew that he'd overeat
and shoot up afterwards?Copy !req
805. A jury might buy
depraved indifference.Copy !req
806. It's still murder
two. And then what?Copy !req
807. Rothenberg hauls us
uptown for another appeal...Copy !req
808. and another, and another.Copy !req
809. We just walk away from this?Copy !req
810. When the door slams
enough in your face...Copy !req
811. eventually you kind of get the
idea they're not letting you in.Copy !req
812. It's obvious to me
that she's guilty.Copy !req
813. The woman will not
see the inside of a prison.Copy !req
814. We may have the
law on our side...Copy !req
815. may have the
facts on our side...Copy !req
816. but Danielle Keyes
has the money...Copy !req
817. on her side.Copy !req
818. And we just can't beat
that. Case is closed.Copy !req
819. Danielle Keyes sold the New
York apartment for $6 million.Copy !req
820. She bought an estate
in the south of France.Copy !req
821. Is there some point when this
actually stops bothering you?Copy !req
822. No. There really isn't.Copy !req
