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. Come on, Mike.
I got to stuff the turkey and put it in the oven.
Copy !req
7. There's time.
Copy !req
8. Oh, no,
they're gonna be here at noon. All 17 of them.
Copy !req
9. Count your blessings.
Your in-laws live 3,000 miles away.
Copy !req
10. That's right, Buster.
Copy !req
11. And if any of them
cross the Mississippi, I'm out of here.
Copy !req
12. Mommy, Mommy!
Copy !req
13. Chasen chopped up Baboo,
and now he's gonna hurt Paddington!
Copy !req
14. No, no, no,
Janey, honey, he's just pretending.
Copy !req
15. No, he's not. Look!
Copy !req
16. Oh, God.
Copy !req
17. Chasen, stop this minute!
Give me that.
Copy !req
18. Where did you get this?
Copy !req
19. I found it outside.
Copy !req
20. Oh, my God.
Where did that come from?
Copy !req
21. He says he found it.
Copy !req
22. Is that blood on the handle?
Oh, my God, Chasen.
Copy !req
23. Well, he looks okay.
I don't see any cuts.
Copy !req
24. Maybe this isn't his blood.
Copy !req
25. Little kid
out on the Island found it.
Copy !req
26. His parents turned it
over to the Suffolk police.
Copy !req
27. And here it is.
So what is it?
Copy !req
28. It's a barong.
Used by the Moro tribe in the Philippines.
Copy !req
29. I guess
they have a local chapter.
Copy !req
30. Thing looks old.
Copy !req
31. It's almost 100 years old.
Copy !req
32. I found blood on the grip
and at the blade joint.
Copy !req
33. A-blood negative,
same as your headless lady, Heidi Ellison.
Copy !req
34. Yeah, but a lot of
people besides her have that blood type.
Copy !req
35. See these nicks
on the true edge?
Copy !req
36. I matched them to marks
Copy !req
37. found on the victim's
cervical vertebrae, radii and tibiae.
Copy !req
38. This is your murder weapon,
fellows. All the way from the South Pacific.
Copy !req
39. Saved her
a trip to Bora-Bora.
Copy !req
40. Chasen, sweetheart,
just tell them where you found it.
Copy !req
41. You know, everybody's
real proud of you for finding the sword.
Copy !req
42. Hey, Chasen, check this out.
Copy !req
43. My lieutenant's gonna make you
a special deputy detective.
Copy !req
44. That means a personal tour
through the squad room, okay?
Copy !req
45. But first
you got to tell us where you found the sword.
Copy !req
46. It was in the field
behind my school.
Copy !req
47. Yeah?
How did you find it?
Copy !req
48. We were building
a snow fort.
Copy !req
49. So it was
under the snow?
Copy !req
50. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
51. Do you remember what day that was?
Copy !req
52. I think it was about
two weeks ago, before school.
Copy !req
53. And do you
remember anything else that happened that day?
Copy !req
54. Miss Angeli took us to the
Museum of Natural History to learn about whales.
Copy !req
55. The machete
came from Heidi Ellison's den.
Copy !req
56. Her assistant remembers it
hanging on a wall.
Copy !req
57. I'm waiting for
you to tell me it came with a set of Grant's fingerprints.
Copy !req
58. Sorry. And
there's another problem.
Copy !req
59. The motel in New Paltz
has him checking in at a quarter to midnight.
Copy !req
60. We're not sure
that gives him enough time to dump this thing in Islip.
Copy !req
61. Well, maybe he
ditched it some other day.
Copy !req
62. The boy could be
wrong about finding it the next morning.
Copy !req
63. No, the school confirmed
the class trip was the day after Ellison was killed.
Copy !req
64. And the weather bureau
said it snowed that night,
Copy !req
65. which fits in with
the kid's story that the knife was covered with snow.
Copy !req
66. If Grant wasn't in Islip,
maybe Eddie Newman was.
Copy !req
67. Wasn't he in LA?
Copy !req
68. He was with his cell phone,
which could be anywhere.
Copy !req
69. LAPD says
it could take a week to get his phone records.
Copy !req
70. Well, before we start
apologizing to Mr. Grant,
Copy !req
71. retrace his timeline
and nail it down.
Copy !req
72. LT, could you sign this?
Copy !req
73. "This certificate
identifies the holder
Copy !req
74. "as a special deputy
detective of the New York City Police Department."
Copy !req
75. Special deputy detective?
Copy !req
76. I made it up on my computer
for the kid. Just sign it.
Copy !req
77. Whatever you say, Sheriff.
Copy !req
78. This is cute.
Copy !req
79. This is very cute.
Copy !req
80. Okay, I give him 15 minutes
to argue and bury the machete in her head.
Copy !req
81. Yeah, fine.
But now comes the tricky part.
Copy !req
82. It says here
the Westies diced and bagged Ruby Stein
Copy !req
83. in the ladies' room
of a bar in under an hour.
Copy !req
84. Yeah,
that's three guys working together.
Copy !req
85. Now, I remember
one mutt up in the Bronx
Copy !req
86. cut his mother-in-law up into
eight pieces while his wife was out getting the groceries.
Copy !req
87. Grant's pretty muscled up.
Copy !req
88. A couple of good whacks to
the head, hands and the feet.
Copy !req
89. What,
about five minutes?
Copy !req
90. Okay,
so 15 more to clean up,
Copy !req
91. and another 10 to get
everything down to the car.
Copy !req
92. Say he got into it
with her right after she called the doorman.
Copy !req
93. By a quarter past 8:00,
he's ready to go.
Copy !req
94. Yeah, so am I
with a couple of Bromos.
Copy !req
95. Here's your change. Thank you.
Copy !req
96. Okay, he dumps
the head in the alley. That's two minutes.
Copy !req
97. Now, the torso's
a bigger handful,
Copy !req
98. plus he actually has to
get the car to the river.
Copy !req
99. Twenty minutes.
That puts him heading to Islip at about a quarter to 9:00.
Copy !req
100. Islip to New Paltz
is about 120 miles.
Copy !req
101. That's two hours minimum,
if he's gonna get there before midnight.
Copy !req
102. Meaning he has to
get out of Islip by 9:30,
Copy !req
103. which gives him
45 minutes to get there from here.
Copy !req
104. Fifty miles on the
LIE on a weeknight? That's pushing it.
Copy !req
105. Yeah, if you drive
like an old lady.
Copy !req
106. December 5th on the LIE?
Copy !req
107. East or westbound? Eastbound to Islip.
Copy !req
108. Okay. Give me a couple.
Copy !req
109. So what'd you do with Lisa?
You show her the sights?
Copy !req
110. Showed her the precinct.
Copy !req
111. The girl flies in
all the way from California...
Copy !req
112. Well, jumping in the sack
with her is not gonna save my marriage, Lennie.
Copy !req
113. Well, neither is your
on-and-off separation.
Copy !req
114. The expert speaks.
Copy !req
115. Hey, I know
what doesn't work.
Copy !req
116. Believe me,
if your wife wanted a doormat, she'd go to Sears.
Copy !req
117. Put a clock on it, Rey,
so the two of you can get on with your lives.
Copy !req
118. All right, fellows,
you want to come around here?
Copy !req
119. Okay, this is what we got.
Copy !req
120. We got a 15-minute delay
at the Cross Island Parkway junction.
Copy !req
121. A car ran out of gas
in the second lane.
Copy !req
122. Then a 10-minute delay
just before Interchange 42.
Copy !req
123. You like
living in the suburbs?
Copy !req
124. Last thing. The Islip
off-ramp's been closed for repairs the last three weeks.
Copy !req
125. Detour adds
another 20 minutes.
Copy !req
126. Okay, thanks. All right.
Take it easy.
Copy !req
127. Yeah, appreciate it.
Copy !req
128. Well, unless Grant grew wings
and flew, there's no way he'd make it in 45 minutes.
Copy !req
129. Okay, so one of his pals
buries the knife, and he goes up to New Paltz.
Copy !req
130. Yeah, pretty dumb
to involve somebody else.
Copy !req
131. Hey, they don't take
steroids to build brains.
Copy !req
132. Well,
whoever dropped the knife, he wasn't invisible.
Copy !req
133. Someone might've
seen him.
Copy !req
134. Tuesday. Right, the Bulls.
Rodman had blue hair.
Copy !req
135. Got ejected
during the second quarter.
Copy !req
136. Let me ask you something.
Copy !req
137. Did you notice
any unusual activity in the field over there?
Copy !req
138. I was watching the game.
It was a slow night.
Copy !req
139. That's what
everybody says.
Copy !req
140. You have any
interesting customers?
Copy !req
141. Locals.
Except for a city cab.
Copy !req
142. Stopped for directions
during the fourth quarter.
Copy !req
143. What was he doing
all the way out here?
Copy !req
144. He was dropping
a fare off from Manhattan a couple of blocks from here.
Copy !req
145. What, was he lost?
Copy !req
146. I'm sure he knows
his way around Calcutta.
Copy !req
147. He was yammering
about his fare catching a plane.
Copy !req
148. Isn't MacArthur Airport
just down the road?
Copy !req
149. Yeah. A half mile. And he dropped his fare here?
Copy !req
150. Was I speaking Martian?
Yeah. A couple of blocks from here.
Copy !req
151. Yeah.
I guess our guy figured
Copy !req
152. they wouldn't
let him take his barong on the plane.
Copy !req
153. The last commercial flight
leaves at 8:45, non-stop to Albany.
Copy !req
154. Then what?
You roll up the runways?
Copy !req
155. The noise abatement
regs kick in.
Copy !req
156. We're allowed two
cargo flights an hour till 1:00 a.m.
Copy !req
157. Then we shut down,
unless there's an emergency.
Copy !req
158. What about
the small planes we saw parked outside?
Copy !req
159. There's no limit
on private flights.
Copy !req
160. You check everything
that goes out?
Copy !req
161. Every plane has to file
a flight plan before it's cleared for takeoff.
Copy !req
162. Even the little ones.
Copy !req
163. You need a degree
in aeronautics just to read these.
Copy !req
164. You mind?
Copy !req
165. You want everything
after 9:30, right?
Copy !req
166. Okay,
this is the plane's registration number.
Copy !req
167. This tells you
the type of plane.
Copy !req
168. This is the number
of people on board, crew plus passengers.
Copy !req
169. And this is the destination.
Copy !req
170. YUL?
Copy !req
171. Montreal-Dorval Airport.
Copy !req
172. Everybody knows that, Rey.
Copy !req
173. You can look it up in this.
Copy !req
174. And
if we want to know the names of the passengers?
Copy !req
175. Private flights don't
file manifests with us. You have to talk to the owners.
Copy !req
176. We went to San Francisco
to meet with Caltone.
Copy !req
177. They're going public
next month, and we're handling the offering.
Copy !req
178. Your flight plan
said you had six other passengers on board.
Copy !req
179. All of them employees?
Copy !req
180. I had a couple of friends
with me. We played a round at Pebble Beach.
Copy !req
181. We're gonna need
their names, all right?
Copy !req
182. Well, I'd like to
get their okay first.
Copy !req
183. The other nine people
we talked to were very cooperative.
Copy !req
184. Of course,
they weren't hiding anything.
Copy !req
185. Who exactly
are you looking for?
Copy !req
186. Anyone who might've
known Heidi Ellison.
Copy !req
187. The movie executive?
Copy !req
188. Well,
if you're looking for people who knew her,
Copy !req
189. try the G-IV that
cut in front of us.
Copy !req
190. G-IV?
Copy !req
191. Gulfstream IV.
Copy !req
192. Steven Berger's plane.
Copy !req
193. He has an estate
in Southampton.
Copy !req
194. He's not on the list.
You sure it was his plane?
Copy !req
195. The control tower
doesn't kiss just anybody's ass.
Copy !req
196. We were second
in line for takeoff
Copy !req
197. when Berger got bumped
to the front of the class.
Copy !req
198. According to the flight plan,
Copy !req
199. Berger's plane was supposed
to leave for LA at 9:00.
Copy !req
200. Except it left at 10:15.
They say why it was late?
Copy !req
201. Well,
maybe the cappuccino machine got busted.
Copy !req
202. That was Berger's lawyer.
Copy !req
203. The great man just got back
from the Gobi Desert,
Copy !req
204. where he was scouting
locations for a movie.
Copy !req
205. And tonight
he's going to Morocco.
Copy !req
206. You tell his lawyer
he's not going anywhere until he talks to us?
Copy !req
207. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
208. He has a meeting with
Julia Roberts at 2:00, Brad Pitt at 3:00,
Copy !req
209. but he canceled his
4:00 with some writer to meet with us at his lawyer's.
Copy !req
210. I represent
Mr. Berger's legal interests,
Copy !req
211. along with Mr. Mittleman
and Miss Schulter.
Copy !req
212. Messrs. Sands
and Palnick are his agents,
Copy !req
213. and Ms. Canton handles
his relations with the media.
Copy !req
214. Mr. Berger is deeply
saddened by Heidi Ellison's tragic death.
Copy !req
215. He considered her
a friend and a colleague, and a woman of great talent.
Copy !req
216. Mr. Berger,
was she a close friend?
Copy !req
217. They had a
pragmatic relationship,
Copy !req
218. which in their business
is considered a friendship.
Copy !req
219. Mr. Berger
is eager to help in any way that he can
Copy !req
220. to bring the
guilty parties to justice.
Copy !req
221. Well, we appreciate that.
We just have a few simple questions for him.
Copy !req
222. Before we get to that,
Copy !req
223. Mr. Berger doesn't want
news of this meeting leaking to the media.
Copy !req
224. Well,
we hadn't planned on telling anybody.
Copy !req
225. Of course.
Copy !req
226. But if it is
going to be leaked,
Copy !req
227. Mr. Berger
would like Liz Smith to get first crack at it.
Copy !req
228. Her number's
at the top of the page.
Copy !req
229. What's this?
Copy !req
230. It's a suggested
press release.
Copy !req
231. Of course,
feel free to put it in your own vernacular.
Copy !req
232. Mr. Berger, your plane
left MacArthur Airport an hour and a quarter late.
Copy !req
233. Could you tell us why?
Copy !req
234. Mr. Berger was
waiting for a passenger.
Copy !req
235. And who was the passenger?
Copy !req
236. Eddie Newman.
Copy !req
237. Berger's
a hell of a ventriloquist.
Copy !req
238. His mouth never moved
the whole time we were there.
Copy !req
239. The story is,
Newman called him around 8:30
Copy !req
240. to hitch a ride
to the West Coast.
Copy !req
241. They're friends?
Copy !req
242. They shared architects.
Copy !req
243. I don't know
what that means out there.
Copy !req
244. What else did Berger say?
Copy !req
245. He took a pill
and fell asleep right after takeoff.
Copy !req
246. Who else was on the plane?
Copy !req
247. Well, Berger's
personal assistant dittoed everything her boss said.
Copy !req
248. There was also
his executive producer
Copy !req
249. and the guy who does the
merchandising on his movies.
Copy !req
250. We haven't talked to them.
Copy !req
251. Say the word,
we'll get a search warrant
Copy !req
252. for Newman's car
and his apartment.
Copy !req
253. We leave one "T" uncrossed
on that warrant application,
Copy !req
254. and Neal Gorton
will shove it down our throats.
Copy !req
255. Hey, Newman lied
about his alibi.
Copy !req
256. He was in the same area
the murder weapon was found.
Copy !req
257. What are we missing?A motive.
Copy !req
258. Find somebody
who'll say he hated her guts.
Copy !req
259. Well,
Newman palled around with Steven Berger.
Copy !req
260. People are afraid to talk.
Copy !req
261. What about Evan Grant?
Copy !req
262. Heidi Ellison must've
told him something about her ex-husband.
Copy !req
263. Ask him.
Copy !req
264. But don't
let him know we're considering another suspect.
Copy !req
265. If we're wrong
about Newman,
Copy !req
266. I don't want to give Grant an
alternate theory of the crime.
Copy !req
267. I'm not going to dazzle you
with a lot of bull, Miss Ross.
Copy !req
268. Evan and I
are realistic about our chances with a jury.
Copy !req
269. You put a serious offer on
the table, we'll give it a good, hard look.
Copy !req
270. I'm not here
to negotiate a plea.
Copy !req
271. What happened
to your other lawyer?
Copy !req
272. Money's all gone.
Copy !req
273. My friends in LA
stopped returning my calls.
Copy !req
274. He's the only one
I can afford. He tells me I should take a deal.
Copy !req
275. Miss Ross, I'm innocent.
Copy !req
276. So why are we
having this meeting?
Copy !req
277. Your client might
help himself
Copy !req
278. by answering a few questions
about Eddie Newman.
Copy !req
279. Why?
Is he a suspect, too?
Copy !req
280. Mr. Grant,
your cooperation will mean something down the line.
Copy !req
281. On the last day
you were with Heidi, did she talk about Newman?
Copy !req
282. Yeah, he called her
on her cell phone when she was at the gym.
Copy !req
283. What did they talk about?
Copy !req
284. I didn't hear.
Copy !req
285. She took her phone into
her private dressing room.
Copy !req
286. She didn't say anything
when she got back, but I could tell she was upset.
Copy !req
287. Was she often upset
after talking with her husband?
Copy !req
288. Yeah, sometimes.
Copy !req
289. From what she told me,
he was a piece of work.
Copy !req
290. What specifically
did she tell you?
Copy !req
291. Well, she said that all
the time they were married, he wanted to control her.
Copy !req
292. Movie directors
are like that.
Copy !req
293. They bang their
leading ladies for the control.
Copy !req
294. Was he ever violent
with her?
Copy !req
295. She said
that when they were married,
Copy !req
296. she had him
arrested for assault.
Copy !req
297. He got nuts
because he thought she was cheating on him.
Copy !req
298. When was this?
Copy !req
299. She said last year,
right after New Year's.
Copy !req
300. What's the problem?
Copy !req
301. We don't have a record
Newman was ever arrested.
Copy !req
302. She never filed a complaint,
so I never arrested him.
Copy !req
303. Then why did you voucher
his personal belongings?
Copy !req
304. Your sergeant found a voucher
in the precinct's file
Copy !req
305. for Newman's gold watch,
two rings and his wallet.
Copy !req
306. You just took him in,
you put him in the holding cell,
Copy !req
307. and then you let him go?
Copy !req
308. Did his watch find its way
onto your wrist?I resent that.
Copy !req
309. I resent being lied to.
You tell me what happened, Detective Miller,
Copy !req
310. or I am
walking this over to IAB.
Copy !req
311. Look, I showed
a little compassion.
Copy !req
312. Newman and Ellison
went a couple of rounds in their living room.
Copy !req
313. She had a bloody nose
and a cut on her lip.
Copy !req
314. She wanted him arrested,
I took him in.
Copy !req
315. Why didn't he stay arrested?
Copy !req
316. Because he was very contrite.
Very ashamed.
Copy !req
317. So while he was in the tank,
I talked to his wife.
Copy !req
318. You convinced her
to drop her complaint.
Copy !req
319. She came to that on her own.
Copy !req
320. Without her as a witness,
there's no case,
Copy !req
321. and you know it,
so I let Newman go.
Copy !req
322. What did you get out of it?
A couple of autographs?
Copy !req
323. He appreciated
my mediation work.
Copy !req
324. It didn't take. We think
he might have killed her.
Copy !req
325. I knew it.
Copy !req
326. I tried
to tell Briscoe and Curtis I liked him for that murder.
Copy !req
327. What do you have
on that creep?
Copy !req
328. Barely enough
for a search warrant.
Copy !req
329. Son of a bitch.
Copy !req
330. Newman's car
will be at the impound in a half hour.
Copy !req
331. Anything here?Not yet.
Copy !req
332. Newman hasn't been around
for two weeks, but the maid comes by every other day
Copy !req
333. to change the flowers
and restock the fridge with fresh mango juice.
Copy !req
334. Oh.
Copy !req
335. The ego wall. We got
an Oscar nomination for Best Editing,
Copy !req
336. a couple of honorable mentions
from film festivals in Europe.
Copy !req
337. I guess
it works as foreplay.
Copy !req
338. Well, if those don't,
these might.
Copy !req
339. Here.
I counted 14 pill bottles here.
Copy !req
340. There's 20 more
in the bathroom.
Copy !req
341. Not to mention this.
Copy !req
342. Uppers, downers,
anxiety pills, sleeping pills, painkillers,
Copy !req
343. codeine, morphine...
Copy !req
344. Demerol.
Copy !req
345. Prescribed by
Dr. Daniel Duval.
Copy !req
346. Newman's shrink.
Amphetamines, also from Duval.
Copy !req
347. You could
jumpstart the '60s with what's in here.
Copy !req
348. The guy who detailed his car
did a great job.
Copy !req
349. You find his number,
let me know.
Copy !req
350. As soon as we book him
for destroying evidence, he's all yours.
Copy !req
351. I said great,
not perfect.
Copy !req
352. I found a dozen strands
of beige silk caught on the gas pedal.
Copy !req
353. From clothing?Possible.
Copy !req
354. They were stained
with A-negative blood.
Copy !req
355. It's Heidi's blood type,
Copy !req
356. and there were
three blood specks of the same type
Copy !req
357. found on the lining
of the trunk.
Copy !req
358. I doubt Gorton could
give us any grief over probable cause.
Copy !req
359. Good.
Swear out an arrest warrant.
Copy !req
360. Newman's still in LA,
finishing his movie.
Copy !req
361. Fax them the warrant.
Tell Briscoe and Curtis to pack their bags.
Copy !req
362. Welcome back.
Copy !req
363. Yeah, we're just
here for take-out.
Copy !req
364. You guys have him
in custody, right?
Copy !req
365. Not quite.
He checked himself into the Judith Harvey Center.
Copy !req
366. He's in rehab?
Let's go in and pull him out.
Copy !req
367. It's not that simple.
There's a medical angle.
Copy !req
368. Hey, I know
the word rehab's like a religion out here,
Copy !req
369. but he can't just check
himself into a drug treatment center and yell "sanctuary."
Copy !req
370. I've got two units
parked outside the clinic. Newman's not going anywhere.
Copy !req
371. Hey, Rey, way to go.
Copy !req
372. I don't know
anything about this.
Copy !req
373. Over here. Detective Curtis?
Copy !req
374. No, he's Curtis.
I just hold his hat.
Copy !req
375. Detective Curtis,
Miss Lundquist arranged a car to take you to your hotel.
Copy !req
376. She said she reserved
your usual rooms.
Copy !req
377. Well, that's real nice,
but we're leaving tonight.
Copy !req
378. I'm happy to take you
wherever you're going.
Copy !req
379. Well, we're on official
business here. No, thanks.
Copy !req
380. No problem. Miss Lundquist
asked me to give you this.
Copy !req
381. It's her numbers
where she can be reached.
Copy !req
382. She asked
that you give her a call whenever you're done.
Copy !req
383. Great, we should've
brought party hats.
Copy !req
384. Jerry, these are
the New York detectives. Lennie Briscoe, Rey Curtis.
Copy !req
385. Jerry Weiss, Deputy
District Attorney for LA county.
Copy !req
386. You know Mr. Gorton
and Dr. Duval.
Copy !req
387. This is Alan Sherick.
He's local counsel for Mr. Newman.
Copy !req
388. Well, drinks are on me
as soon as Mr. Newman's in our custody.
Copy !req
389. Mr. Newman is
in the second day of a drug treatment program.
Copy !req
390. I've proposed,
and Mr. Weiss has tentatively agreed,
Copy !req
391. that he complete the program
and then surrender himself to the police.
Copy !req
392. You agreed?
Copy !req
393. I agreed to consider it.
Copy !req
394. Well, he better be cured
by 8:00, 'cause that's when the plane leaves.
Copy !req
395. It's a 10-day program.
Copy !req
396. Hey,
we're not gonna get into a slow-speed chase with the guy.
Copy !req
397. Mr. Weiss,
unless you look forward to running into some problems
Copy !req
398. when you're looking
for somebody on our turf,
Copy !req
399. you'd better execute
that arrest warrant today.
Copy !req
400. This is abusive.
I'm calling Garcetti.
Copy !req
401. This man is sick.
It'll set back his recovery by months.
Copy !req
402. He can recover at Rikers.
Copy !req
403. Eddie. Eddie.
Copy !req
404. Eddie,
these detectives are here to take you back to New York.
Copy !req
405. Don't worry,
everything is gonna be fine.
Copy !req
406. They're arresting you, Eddie.
Just don't say a word.
Copy !req
407. Be with you the whole way.
Copy !req
408. Can he stand up?
Copy !req
409. Sure. Stand up.
Copy !req
410. Want to do the honors?
Copy !req
411. Give us some room, please.
Copy !req
412. Edward Newman,
you're under arrest for the murder of Heidi Ellison.
Copy !req
413. Dan... It's gonna be all right.
Copy !req
414. I won't let them hurt you.
Copy !req
415. You have the right
to remain silent.
Copy !req
416. Anything you do say
can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Copy !req
417. This matter's on for the arraignment of Edward Newman.
Copy !req
418. A warrant for his
arrest and extradition having been received
Copy !req
419. from the
sovereign state of New York and lodged with this court.
Copy !req
420. Mr. Newman is filing notice
of a writ of habeas corpus.
Copy !req
421. You're
contesting the extradition?
Copy !req
422. Yes, Your Honor.
On the grounds
Copy !req
423. that the arrest warrant
issued by the State of New York is defective.
Copy !req
424. Defective how, Your Honor?
Copy !req
425. Your Honor, I respectfully
suggest this isn't the forum to litigate this matter.
Copy !req
426. I agree, Mr. Sherick.
Copy !req
427. I'm setting this down
for a hearing on the defendant's petition,
Copy !req
428. five days from now.
So ordered.
Copy !req
429. More developments
following the arrest yesterday
Copy !req
430. of Hollywood director
Eddie Newman
Copy !req
431. for the murder of his ex-wife,
studio boss Heidi Ellison.
Copy !req
432. In a highly unusual turn,
Newman's lawyers contested extradition from California.
Copy !req
433. This means Heidi Ellison's
latest accused killer
Copy !req
434. stays beyond the reach
of New York justice for at least another five days.
Copy !req
435. What the devil
is Gorton up to?
Copy !req
436. Trying to lure you out
to sunny California to see you in a bathing suit?
Copy !req
437. It's a better reason than
his writ of habeas corpus.
Copy !req
438. Maybe I should read it again,
Copy !req
439. but I didn't see grounds
to challenge the extradition.
Copy !req
440. Yeah, well, maybe our
extradition papers were written with the wrong ink.
Copy !req
441. There's nothing
wrong with them.
Copy !req
442. Gorton's attacking
the arrest warrant. On what basis I don't know.
Copy !req
443. Get on a plane and find out.
Copy !req
444. I want this
bi-coastal nonsense over.
Copy !req
445. Drag Newman back here
by his heels if you have to.
Copy !req
446. Gorton hooked up
with Alan Sherick. Very connected.
Copy !req
447. Plays skins with
all the right judges, and he lets them win.
Copy !req
448. Is there any actual law
supporting their writ?
Copy !req
449. Could be a stall.
Could be your warrant's no good.
Copy !req
450. Miss Ross,
you ever thought about television work?
Copy !req
451. I beg your pardon?
Copy !req
452. I'm an on-air commentator
for Justice TV. Part time.
Copy !req
453. If you have an 8-by-10,
I could get it to my producer.
Copy !req
454. I've got a snapshot
with my daughter at the zoo.
Copy !req
455. That's cute.
Do you have a card?
Copy !req
456. This is the break
I'm looking for.
Copy !req
457. There's nothing frivolous
about our petition.
Copy !req
458. There are grave issues
involved here.
Copy !req
459. I spent six hours
on the plane staring at that arrest warrant.
Copy !req
460. I didn't see
anything wrong with it.
Copy !req
461. Maybe all that
free champagne blurred your vision.
Copy !req
462. We sat in coach.
Copy !req
463. Coach, Jamie?
Copy !req
464. That's really sad.
Copy !req
465. This case is a loser, Neal. That's what's sad.
Copy !req
466. Otherwise
you wouldn't be wasting our time here.
Copy !req
467. I don't find lack of
probable cause insignificant.
Copy !req
468. The probable cause
is spelled out in the arrest warrant.
Copy !req
469. If you weren't having
such a fabulous time in first class,
Copy !req
470. you might have noticed.
Copy !req
471. The place to argue about
probable cause, Mr. Gorton, is 3,000 miles east.
Copy !req
472. The California courts
don't have the authority
Copy !req
473. to attack the
underlying facts of the case.
Copy !req
474. We found a judge
who's happy to disagree with you.
Copy !req
475. How many golf strokes
did that cost you, Alan?
Copy !req
476. I'm going to
ignore that and refer you to Michigan v. Doran
Copy !req
477. and Gerstein v. Pugh.
Copy !req
478. The Supreme Court
reversed Doran.
Copy !req
479. Once the governor
of the demanding state signs the extradition papers,
Copy !req
480. they're valid on their face.
The asylum state can't challenge them.
Copy !req
481. And under Gerstein,
California doesn't have to grant extradition
Copy !req
482. until a neutral court
determines probable cause.
Copy !req
483. That's not what Gersteinsays.
Copy !req
484. It says whatever
Judge Van Ness interprets it to say.
Copy !req
485. One of your judges
is hijacking my case.
Copy !req
486. Doesn't your office have
anything to say about that?
Copy !req
487. We can help you
file an appeal in Sacramento,
Copy !req
488. but that's about it.
Copy !req
489. You're not in
Kansas anymore, McCoy.
Copy !req
490. I don't get the problem.
Copy !req
491. We've tossed out his alibi,
and we've got her blood in his car.
Copy !req
492. Well, maybe this judge
thinks "smoking gun" is a famous Indian chief.
Copy !req
493. This judge is an idiot.
Copy !req
494. He took
the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the Constitution
Copy !req
495. and tossed it
into the Santa Monica Bay.
Copy !req
496. Maybe you should
take up golf.
Copy !req
497. If it'll help,
I'll send for my clubs.
Copy !req
498. Does anybody
want to grab a bite?
Copy !req
499. Not me.
I'm booked for dinner.
Copy !req
500. Quick, turn up the sound.
Copy !req
501. We're going to prove
that the arrest warrant for my client
Copy !req
502. is produced from
evidence planted in his car.
Copy !req
503. Planted by who, Mr. Gorton?
Copy !req
504. We'll get into that
in the hearing. Excuse me.
Copy !req
505. Mr. Gorton... REPORTER 2: Mr. Gorton...
Copy !req
506. Now, Wendy, Jess,
of course we'll be contacting
Copy !req
507. the New York County
District Attorney's...
Copy !req
508. What a load of bull.
Copy !req
509. Who had access to the car?
Copy !req
510. I'll call and see
if we can get on the red-eye.
Copy !req
511. It did not
look this big in the photo. You take this out by yourself?
Copy !req
512. It's not set up
for single-handing.
Copy !req
513. Right now,
it's perfect for two.
Copy !req
514. You like boats?
Copy !req
515. Well, I've been on the
ferry with my girls.
Copy !req
516. Ellis Island,
Statue of Liberty. Uh-huh. Hmm.
Copy !req
517. I bet
your daughters are sweethearts.
Copy !req
518. Most of the time.
Copy !req
519. So, Rey,
Copy !req
520. you ever think
about changing jobs?
Copy !req
521. Every Monday morning. Why?
Copy !req
522. I talked to the
head of security at the studio.
Copy !req
523. He says they're
looking for someone with your experience.
Copy !req
524. To do what?
Copy !req
525. Background checks.
Copy !req
526. Special investigations.
Copy !req
527. I don't know
what you make now,
Copy !req
528. but you would
easily triple your salary.
Copy !req
529. Sounds great, Lisa,
but I can't leave the kids.
Copy !req
530. I wouldn't expect you to.
Copy !req
531. LA is a great place to live
if you're an orange,
Copy !req
532. but you'd work
out of New York.
Copy !req
533. You would travel
to movie locations all over the world.
Copy !req
534. I don't know.
Copy !req
535. No strings attached.
Copy !req
536. Your plane
is not for a couple of hours.
Copy !req
537. I know,
but I should probably head back to the hotel.
Copy !req
538. Don't you
want to sleep with me?
Copy !req
539. Yes, I do. But...
Copy !req
540. It's just sex. It doesn't
have to go anywhere.
Copy !req
541. I wish it were
that easy. I do.
Copy !req
542. Thanks for your offer.
Copy !req
543. Your job offer.
Copy !req
544. So when are you
gonna give Giuliani your two weeks' notice?
Copy !req
545. I ain't going anywhere.
Copy !req
546. Yeah, right.
Why give up all this for a six-figure income
Copy !req
547. and free travel
to exotic countries?
Copy !req
548. Come on, come on, lay off.
Copy !req
549. Hey, Rey,
I like working with you.
Copy !req
550. You got to be nuts
to turn down that job.
Copy !req
551. Think of what you could do
for your kids with that money.
Copy !req
552. Okay, black Mercedes, 500 SL.
Edward Newman, owner.
Copy !req
553. Brought in on Thursday
morning. Wasn't looked at till Friday afternoon.
Copy !req
554. Anybody go near it
before then?
Copy !req
555. Yeah, it's the
only car we have here.
Copy !req
556. I'd never take my eye off it.
How the hell would I know?
Copy !req
557. Yeah,
well besides your regulars,
Copy !req
558. who was in that garage
between Thursday and Friday?
Copy !req
559. What was
Detective Miller doing here?
Copy !req
560. Looks like
he had a car in here in connection with a robbery.
Copy !req
561. This is a photocopy.
What happened to the original?
Copy !req
562. My supervisor took it.
Said somebody subpoenaed it.
Copy !req
563. That robbery case
wasn't even yours, Miller.
Copy !req
564. You had no business
being in that garage.
Copy !req
565. I can go any damn place
on city property I want to.
Copy !req
566. Listen, we find
your prints on Newman's car, you'll be going to Rikers.
Copy !req
567. I got a subpoena
and I got a ticket to LA.
Copy !req
568. Hey, hey! That's where I'm going.
Copy !req
569. Hey, Miller, if you've got
something on your chest
Copy !req
570. you want to get rid of,
now's the time to do it!
Copy !req
571. I didn't plant nothing.
Copy !req
572. Now, if you guys
excuse me, I got to go buy some suntan lotion.
Copy !req
573. They subpoenaed Miller,
someone from the forensic garage,
Copy !req
574. and Dr. Dietrich Parks,
a fiber expert from San Francisco.
Copy !req
575. Miller's prints
weren't on the car. No one saw him near the car.
Copy !req
576. It's all innuendo.
Copy !req
577. Neal never wings it.
Copy !req
578. He's putting our evidence
on trial here, on TV,
Copy !req
579. for the benefit of
potential jurors back home. He can say things here
Copy !req
580. he wouldn't be allowed to say
in a New York courtroom.
Copy !req
581. That's right.
Let's look at his evidence.
Copy !req
582. The sign-in sheet
from the garage, blood and DNA studies,
Copy !req
583. studies on silk fabric.
That's one good thing about California.
Copy !req
584. Reciprocal discovery.
Copy !req
585. What do you make of this?
Copy !req
586. A woman's
beige silk blouse.
Copy !req
587. Please state
your name and occupation.
Copy !req
588. Dr. Dietrich Parks,
Copy !req
589. professor of forensic
science at UC Berkeley.
Copy !req
590. For the record,
I renew my objection to this hearing.
Copy !req
591. This court
has no jurisdiction
Copy !req
592. over a crime
committed in the State of New York.
Copy !req
593. As long as Mr. Newman
is in my district,
Copy !req
594. I'm going to see
he's protected under the Fourth Amendment
Copy !req
595. against any unwarranted
restraints on his liberty.
Copy !req
596. With all due respect,
there has already been a finding
Copy !req
597. of probable cause
to arrest him.
Copy !req
598. This court certainly has
jurisdiction to inquire into the basis of that finding.
Copy !req
599. Your Honor,
that's precisely...
Copy !req
600. Thank you, Mr. Sherick.
Mr. McCoy, sit down.
Copy !req
601. Proceed, Mr. Gorton.
Copy !req
602. Thank you, Your Honor.
Copy !req
603. Dr. Parks, you examined
the fiber evidence found in Mr. Newman's car.
Copy !req
604. What can you
tell us about it?
Copy !req
605. The fibers
were single-ply silk
Copy !req
606. colored with a beige
vegetable-based dye,
Copy !req
607. and weaved
in a jacquard pattern.
Copy !req
608. They were stained with
Type-A negative blood.
Copy !req
609. Dr. Parks.
Copy !req
610. Do you recognize this?
Copy !req
611. Well, yes,
I examined it two days ago.
Copy !req
612. It's a woman's blouse,
single-ply silk
Copy !req
613. colored with a beige
vegetable-based dye, and weaved in a jacquard pattern.
Copy !req
614. It's also stained
with A-negative blood.
Copy !req
615. The same as the fibers
found in Mr. Newman's car?
Copy !req
616. Yes. They match perfectly.
Copy !req
617. There's a tag
attached to the sleeve.
Copy !req
618. Please read what it says.
Copy !req
619. "New York City
Police Department. Evidence Clerk's Office, 16th Precinct.
Copy !req
620. "Recovered
from the person of Heidi Ellison."
Copy !req
621. It's dated January 12,
one year ago.
Copy !req
622. It's an evidence voucher.
Copy !req
623. Please read
the signature on the tag.
Copy !req
624. "Detective Stu Miller."
Copy !req
625. Thank you. No more questions.
Copy !req
626. Dr. Parks,
can you state with absolute certainty
Copy !req
627. that the fibers
in Mr. Newman's car
Copy !req
628. came from that blouse
and that blouse only?
Copy !req
629. No, not absolutely.
Copy !req
630. They might have
come from a similar blouse
Copy !req
631. that Heidi Ellison
could have been wearing
Copy !req
632. the night she
was murdered four weeks ago. Isn't that right?
Copy !req
633. I suppose so, but...
Copy !req
634. Thank you.
Copy !req
635. Ms. Ellison
wanted to press charges.
Copy !req
636. I took
the blouse because it was evidence of the assault.
Copy !req
637. She bled on it
after he hit her.
Copy !req
638. To your knowledge,
was Mr. Newman ever prosecuted for this assault?
Copy !req
639. No. Ms. Ellison
dropped the complaint.
Copy !req
640. Because at Mr. Newman's
request, you talked her out of pressing charges.
Copy !req
641. Isn't that true?I had a conversation with her.
Copy !req
642. I didn't talk her
out of anything.
Copy !req
643. Isn't it true that
Mr. Newman promised you a job as a technical advisor
Copy !req
644. on one of his movies?
Copy !req
645. He might have
mentioned something.
Copy !req
646. Isn't it true that
Mr. Newman promised to help you write a screenplay
Copy !req
647. based on your experiences
as a police officer?
Copy !req
648. Maybe. I don't remember.
Copy !req
649. But Mr. Newman
never delivered on any of his promises.
Copy !req
650. Isn't that right?I don't know.
Copy !req
651. And when you learned
that he was a suspect
Copy !req
652. in his ex-wife's murder,
you took fibers from that blouse
Copy !req
653. which you placed
in the evidence room one year earlier,
Copy !req
654. and you planted those
fibers in his car. Isn't that right?
Copy !req
655. That's not true.
I did not plant evidence.
Copy !req
656. Thank you, Detective.
Copy !req
657. Detective Miller,
Copy !req
658. are you aware that
Ms. Ellison's blood was found
Copy !req
659. in the trunk of
Mr. Newman's car?Yes.
Copy !req
660. Did you plant that blood? No.
Copy !req
661. Did you have anything to do
Copy !req
662. with Mr. Newman's
lying to the police about his whereabouts
Copy !req
663. on the night
Ms. Ellison was killed? No.
Copy !req
664. Did you have
anything to do with his being in the area
Copy !req
665. where the murder weapon
was discovered?
Copy !req
666. No. Thank you.
Copy !req
667. I admit I smacked her.
Copy !req
668. I had never done that before.
I felt sick to my stomach.
Copy !req
669. I apologized right away,
but she was angry.
Copy !req
670. She wanted me arrested.
Copy !req
671. After Detective Miller
brought you to the precinct,
Copy !req
672. did you ask him
to talk to your wife?
Copy !req
673. Yes. He said he knew
exactly what to say to her.
Copy !req
674. And did you promise
Detective Miller employment in return for his help?
Copy !req
675. I told him
I would spitball story ideas with him.
Copy !req
676. In the industry,
that's a euphemism. It means "get lost."
Copy !req
677. But Detective Miller
didn't, did he?
Copy !req
678. No.
Copy !req
679. He called my home,
he called my office, he even called Heidi.
Copy !req
680. Finally, I told him if he
didn't stop bothering us,
Copy !req
681. I'd call his
commanding officer.
Copy !req
682. I never heard
from him again.
Copy !req
683. Thank you.
Copy !req
684. Had Detective Miller been
to your home before the time you punched out your wife?
Copy !req
685. Yes. But I didn't
punch her out.
Copy !req
686. How did you break her nose?
Copy !req
687. I didn't break her nose.
Copy !req
688. It was bleeding.
Her lip was swollen.
Copy !req
689. Objection, Your Honor.
Relevance.
Copy !req
690. Sustained.
Copy !req
691. Mr. McCoy,
get back on track.
Copy !req
692. Yes, Your Honor. Mr. Newman, isn't it true
Copy !req
693. that Detective Miller
was a regular visitor at your house
Copy !req
694. because you routinely
assaulted your wife?
Copy !req
695. We had arguments.
I never assaulted her.
Copy !req
696. You mean,
you were never actually charged as a wife beater.
Copy !req
697. Did you ask Detective Miller
Copy !req
698. to talk to your wife
on those occasions, too?
Copy !req
699. Objection.
Copy !req
700. Withdrawn.
No more questions.
Copy !req
701. You can step down,
Mr. Newman.
Copy !req
702. I guess Neal's
not the only one who knows how to play to the cameras.
Copy !req
703. Based on the fiber evidence,
Copy !req
704. and on Detective Miller's
history with my client,
Copy !req
705. it is a reasonable inference
that the fibers were placed in the car by Detective Miller.
Copy !req
706. Even if we
grant that allegation,
Copy !req
707. there's still
plenty of evidence to sustain probable cause.
Copy !req
708. It's all suspect.
Copy !req
709. If Detective Miller
can plant fibers in the front seat of the car,
Copy !req
710. what's to prevent him
or anyone else from planting blood in the trunk?
Copy !req
711. His client
fabricated an alibi.
Copy !req
712. Which, of itself, doesn't
even come close to being probable cause for arrest.
Copy !req
713. He's right, Mr. McCoy.
You toss out the evidence in the car,
Copy !req
714. you don't have
much of a case left.
Copy !req
715. Speak up, Your Honor.
There are some people in the Bronx who didn't hear you.
Copy !req
716. What did you say?
Copy !req
717. You're usurping the
authority of the citizens of the State of New York.
Copy !req
718. It's for them to decide
the facts of this case, not you.
Copy !req
719. You just watch me.
Copy !req
720. I find your arrest warrant
unsupported by the evidence.
Copy !req
721. The defendant's petition
is granted.
Copy !req
722. The extradition request
is denied,
Copy !req
723. and you,
Mr. McCoy, are fined $2,000 for contempt.
Copy !req
724. And we don't take
out-of-state checks.
Copy !req
725. Have my office
wire you the money as soon as we get back to the hotel.
Copy !req
726. I don't think
Van Ness has ever been talked to like that.
Copy !req
727. Someone ought to
yank his leash.
Copy !req
728. I'll ask
my boss to call the Chief Administrative Judge.
Copy !req
729. Their kids go to
the same preschool.
Copy !req
730. That's our problem.
No friends.
Copy !req
731. We ought to
start cruising the bars.
Copy !req
732. Miller screwed us.
Copy !req
733. An overzealous moron
wanted to make sure Newman got nailed.
Copy !req
734. I hate leaving empty-handed.
Copy !req
735. Well, Moondoggie,
what do you want to do?
Copy !req
736. Rent a beach house
and wait for the appeal?
Copy !req
737. Or we can come up
with some probable cause that Van Ness can't dismiss.
Copy !req
738. The police
searched Newman's homes and offices on both coasts.
Copy !req
739. What about
Berger's private jet?
Copy !req
740. Newman was dumping evidence
all the way to the airport.
Copy !req
741. Maybe he left some
on the plane.
Copy !req
742. Mr. Berger's
very secretive about his travels.
Copy !req
743. You're a New York lawyer?
Copy !req
744. New York
District Attorney's Office.
Copy !req
745. You're a
long way from home.
Copy !req
746. Don't I know it.
Copy !req
747. Mr. Berger's office
told me his plane was being leased out
Copy !req
748. while he wasn't using it.
They told me to talk to you.
Copy !req
749. I'll have to
remember to thank him.
Copy !req
750. You know all these people?
Copy !req
751. Yeah,
close personal friends.
Copy !req
752. They have my headshot
up in their office.
Copy !req
753. You want to give me yours,
I'll put it up there.
Copy !req
754. I don't have one.
Everybody tells me I should.
Copy !req
755. People around here
use them instead of business cards.
Copy !req
756. Berger's plane
is due back here from Aspen this afternoon,
Copy !req
757. but tomorrow morning
Berger's taking it to Tokyo
Copy !req
758. and then to Europe
for a month.
Copy !req
759. It's been around the world half a dozen times since then.
Copy !req
760. People have been
in and out of it, it's been vacuumed, cleaned.
Copy !req
761. There's no reason
to expect there's any evidence left.
Copy !req
762. I don't
sense the spirit of cooperation here.
Copy !req
763. I am not in a rush to
tear apart Steven Berger's private jet on a whim.
Copy !req
764. What's he going to do,
name the monster in his next movie after you?
Copy !req
765. This is
a company town, Miss Ross.
Copy !req
766. Berger bitches to my boss,
Copy !req
767. I spend
the next two years in misdemeanor court.
Copy !req
768. My boss bitches to your boss,
you won't be much better off.
Copy !req
769. I need to
bullet-proof my ass.
Copy !req
770. Just find me a good reason
to take it to a judge.
Copy !req
771. Who else was on the plane
with Newman and Berger?
Copy !req
772. There's not much I can tell you about the flight.
Copy !req
773. I spent most
of the time on the phone,
Copy !req
774. lining up financing
for Steven's next film.
Copy !req
775. Seems
you and Newman were the only ones awake.
Copy !req
776. Everyone else
said they took sleeping pills.
Copy !req
777. I hope you're not
including the pilot.
Copy !req
778. When you weren't on the phone,
did you talk to Mr. Newman?
Copy !req
779. He saw I was busy.
I said hello.
Copy !req
780. Did you notice anything
about his appearance or his behavior?
Copy !req
781. No, I didn't.
Copy !req
782. Mr. Cooper,
you weren't flying aboard the Queen Mary.
Copy !req
783. The man was sitting
not more than 10 feet away from you for six hours.
Copy !req
784. I think
you should direct your questions to my attorney.
Copy !req
785. Why do you need to hide
behind an attorney?
Copy !req
786. I heard
how you people operate in New York.
Copy !req
787. You indict them all and
let the jury sort them out.
Copy !req
788. Did Neal Gorton
tell you that?
Copy !req
789. Mr. Gorton stopped by, yes.
Copy !req
790. He threw around terms like
Copy !req
791. "accessory after the fact,"
"criminal facilitation."
Copy !req
792. How about
"hindering prosecution?" Did he mention that one?
Copy !req
793. Because you're giving
a textbook example of it.
Copy !req
794. We're not interested
in prosecuting anyone but Eddie Newman.
Copy !req
795. Now, do you want to hear
our questions again?
Copy !req
796. Mr. Newman was very jumpy.
Copy !req
797. He was pacing
around the cabin a lot.
Copy !req
798. I asked him
what was bothering him.
Copy !req
799. He said it was
just the pressure of making a movie.
Copy !req
800. Did he bring anything
on the plane with him?
Copy !req
801. A couple of small carry-ons.
Copy !req
802. I noticed that he took
one of them with him every time he went to the head.
Copy !req
803. How often was that?
Copy !req
804. He was in there
for a long time.
Copy !req
805. Once, twice,
then he'd come out. His eyes were red.
Copy !req
806. I thought he'd been crying.
Copy !req
807. There's a weather front
moving in along the Aleutians.
Copy !req
808. If we don't leave
within a half hour, we'll have to reroute.
Copy !req
809. Tell Mr. Berger we're sorry,
Copy !req
810. but the
District Attorney himself signed off on this warrant.
Copy !req
811. We can't release the plane
until we complete the search.
Copy !req
812. They Luminol'd the toilet,
sink and the drain pipes.
Copy !req
813. They think
they found something.
Copy !req
814. Blood?
Copy !req
815. They won't know
till they take the sink and the pipes back to the lab.
Copy !req
816. Looks like
Mr. Berger's not getting his plane back today.
Copy !req
817. I'll break the news to him.
Copy !req
818. I collected samples
from the joint
Copy !req
819. surrounding the sink drain
and from the cleanout.
Copy !req
820. I analyzed the samples,
Copy !req
821. identified them
as blood type A-negative,
Copy !req
822. the same as
the victim Ellison.
Copy !req
823. Mr. Hayashi,
to your knowledge,
Copy !req
824. was the holding tank
of the chemical toilet searched?
Copy !req
825. Yes. It was removed
and then brought back to the laboratory.
Copy !req
826. Inside, I found a woman's
signet ring snagged on a piece of metal flashing.
Copy !req
827. Please describe the ring.
Copy !req
828. It's a size
five-and-a-half platinum ring,
Copy !req
829. with three emerald baguettes
forming the letter "H" in a diamond chip setting.
Copy !req
830. Your Honor, I'm showing
what was previously marked as People's Five.
Copy !req
831. Mr. Hayashi,
is this the ring?
Copy !req
832. Yes.
Copy !req
833. People's Six, Your Honor.
Copy !req
834. Mr. Hayashi, this is
a photo of Heidi Ellison taken March 10 of this year.
Copy !req
835. Do you see
that ring in this photo?
Copy !req
836. Yes.
It's on the ring finger of Ms. Ellison's right hand.
Copy !req
837. Thank you.
Copy !req
838. No more questions.
Copy !req
839. Mr. Gorton?
Copy !req
840. No questions, Your Honor.
Copy !req
841. Mr. Hayashi,
you're excused.
Copy !req
842. Your Honor,
I submit there now exists sufficient probable cause
Copy !req
843. to support an arrest warrant.
Copy !req
844. I respectfully request
you grant the governor's warrant for extradition.
Copy !req
845. I order the governor's
warrant for extradition be executed forthwith.
Copy !req
846. JUDGE VAN NESS:
Court's adjourned.
Copy !req
847. Goodbye, Mr. McCoy.
Copy !req
848. Don't gloat, Jamie.
It's only the first round.
Copy !req
849. What are you hoping for?
Man one?
Copy !req
850. Extreme emotional disturbance?
That's what I'd do.
Copy !req
851. I know what you'd do.
Copy !req
852. You'd put
Jack McCoy's lights out. You wouldn't take a plea.
Copy !req
853. Newman is a
pill-popping egomaniac.
Copy !req
854. He's not going to
give a jury the warm fuzzies.
Copy !req
855. I'm gonna
let you in on a little secret. He's innocent.
Copy !req
856. Like all our other clients?
Copy !req
857. You mean they weren't
innocent? I'm shocked.
Copy !req
858. What's this?
Copy !req
859. A polygraph given yesterday.
He passed with flying colors.
Copy !req
860. After how many dry runs?
Copy !req
861. On the very first try.
Copy !req
862. I wish
you were working on my side of the aisle on this one.
Copy !req
863. We were good together.
Copy !req
864. In court.
Everywhere else, we stunk.
Copy !req
865. Oh, how quickly they forget.
Copy !req
866. All right, there, too.
Copy !req
867. So, how about our Katie?
Copy !req
868. She learned to
write her name yesterday.
Copy !req
869. When did you talk to her?
Copy !req
870. I called her
on the way over here.
Copy !req
871. I told her
we were having lunch.
Copy !req
872. She said to say hi.
She's looking forward to seeing you tonight.
Copy !req
873. I'll be on the red-eye.
Copy !req
874. Well, it's lucky for you
she gets along so well with the nanny.
Copy !req
875. The judge
denied Newman's bail and sent him to Rikers.
Copy !req
876. He can start
an acting workshop.
Copy !req
877. I talked to the IAB
about Detective Miller. He's suspended.
Copy !req
878. We're coordinating
a joint investigation.
Copy !req
879. Good. Bury him.
Copy !req
880. He made us look
like a bunch of fools.
Copy !req
881. It can't hurt us at trial.
Copy !req
882. If we don't use
the blood evidence from the car,
Copy !req
883. the defense can't beat us
over the head with Miller.
Copy !req
884. I've been getting
calls about Mr. Grant.
Copy !req
885. You didn't forget him,
did you?
Copy !req
886. I filed a notice of
dismissal this morning.
Copy !req
887. I want him out of jail
by the 6:00 news.
Copy !req
888. I haven't been home yet.
Copy !req
889. I'll take care of it.
Copy !req
890. The District Attorney
has concluded the weight of credible evidence
Copy !req
891. against the defendant
will not sustain the charges
Copy !req
892. and withdraws
without prejudice all pending criminal charges
Copy !req
893. arising out of the events
described in the indictment.
Copy !req
894. Thank you, Miss Ross.
Copy !req
895. Mr. Grant,
Copy !req
896. the charges against you
have been withdrawn.
Copy !req
897. Your bail is exonerated,
and you are free to go.
Copy !req
898. We're adjourned.No, no!
Copy !req
899. He killed my daughter.
You can't do this.
Copy !req
900. Order.You can't do this.
Copy !req
901. Officer,
please remove him from my courtroom.
Copy !req
902. This is wrong.
He's a murderer!
Copy !req
903. Order. That animal
butchered my girl!
Copy !req
904. Order!
Copy !req
905. He's the one who did it,
not Eddie Newman.
Copy !req
906. Eddie Newman
passed a lie detector test, and the D.A. knows it.
Copy !req
907. I have the results
right here.
Copy !req
908. The District Attorney
has let loose a monster upon this city.
Copy !req
909. Evan Grant
killed Heidi Ellison, and he'll kill again.
Copy !req
910. Miss Ross,
is it true you had the polygraph results?
Copy !req
911. Lie detector tests are
inadmissible in court for good reason.
Copy !req
912. They're unreliable.
Our evidence points to Mr. Newman's guilt.
Copy !req
913. Miss Ross. Miss Ross.
Copy !req
914. Katie, honey,
Mommy's home.
Copy !req
915. Hi, Isabel.
Is Katie upstairs?
Copy !req
916. No,
she's with Mr. Gorton.
Copy !req
917. What?
Copy !req
918. He was here
just after 7:00 to see her.
Copy !req
919. I told him you
wouldn't be home until later.
Copy !req
920. He just took her?
Copy !req
921. She said
she wanted to be with her daddy.
Copy !req
922. I'm sorry.
I didn't know what to do.
Copy !req
923. It's all right, Isabel.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Copy !req
924. He says he'll
drop her off in the morning, and he'll see you in court.
Copy !req
925. You seen this?
Copy !req
926. Maybe we should've
released him on a Saturday morning.
Copy !req
927. Oh, that's very funny.
We're being excoriated.
Copy !req
928. Where have you been?
Copy !req
929. I took my daughter
to school.
Copy !req
930. Well, isn't that nice?
Copy !req
931. Are you planning
any other family activities?
Copy !req
932. It's hitting the fan.
Copy !req
933. Oh, that?
Copy !req
934. I heard Neal Gorton's firm
paid their airfare and hotel bills.
Copy !req
935. And he leaked
the lie detector test.
Copy !req
936. He's playing
to the jury pool, Adam.
Copy !req
937. Then so should we.
Copy !req
938. I want you to kick
the living daylights out of Neal Gorton.
Copy !req
939. You can dig up
Thomas Dewey to help you. You're gonna win this case.
Copy !req
940. Whatever you have to do,
I want a conviction.
Copy !req
