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. She'll call us in
when she's ready.
Copy !req
7. We're already
paying 30 bucks for a 50-minute hour.
Copy !req
8. You just don't
want to be here.
Copy !req
9. How'd you
figure that out?
Copy !req
10. You're supposed to be
doing this for yourself.
Copy !req
11. What, so some shrink
can tell me I'm a pig?
Copy !req
12. I know I'm a pig,
like most guys.
Copy !req
13. Look, women want
everything from one guy.
Copy !req
14. Guys want one thing
from a lot of women.
Copy !req
15. It's human nature.
Copy !req
16. You're right.
We're wasting our time.
Copy !req
17. Dr. Burk?
Copy !req
18. Dr. Burk?
Copy !req
19. Eric! Eric!
Copy !req
20. She's got
scratches on her arm, a bruise on her neck.
Copy !req
21. She went
a couple of rounds before she was counted out.
Copy !req
22. What time was that?
Copy !req
23. Eight to 12 hours ago.
Single stab wound to the chest.
Copy !req
24. We're still looking
for the weapon.
Copy !req
25. I don't see a purse.
Copy !req
26. It's in the desk drawer
along with her wallet,
Copy !req
27. 78 bucks and a half-dozen
credit cards.
Copy !req
28. Make sure
she gets a rape kit.
Copy !req
29. Right.
Copy !req
30. Cleaning crew comes
through here around 8:00.
Copy !req
31. How often
do your people patrol this area?
Copy !req
32. Every hour. What about vagrants?
Copy !req
33. Any problems there?
Copy !req
34. We don't let them
become a problem.
Copy !req
35. Okay, I'd like to
see your security logs for last night, all right?
Copy !req
36. Sure.
I'll bring them up.
Copy !req
37. All right,
the receptionist said
Copy !req
38. that Dr. Burk's
last appointment was yesterday at 7:00 p.m.
Copy !req
39. Allison and Dennis Hall.
Copy !req
40. Must've been some
counseling session.
Copy !req
41. Please, my name is
George Burk.
Copy !req
42. The hospital called me.
They told me my wife had been hurt.
Copy !req
43. Okay, let's just go
sit over here, all right?
Copy !req
44. Can't I see her?
I've been looking for her all night.
Copy !req
45. Oh, God. Is that her?
Copy !req
46. Take it easy.
Copy !req
47. Linda! Linda! Let me go!
Copy !req
48. All right,
there's nothing to see here.
Copy !req
49. Show's over.
Take a hike. Come on.
Copy !req
50. I spoke to her
just before 9:00.
Copy !req
51. She said
she was leaving in a few minutes.
Copy !req
52. Coming right home? Yes.
Copy !req
53. She usually
takes a cab out front.
Copy !req
54. By 10:00,
I started to worry.
Copy !req
55. I called her back.
She didn't answer.
Copy !req
56. You waited an hour?
Copy !req
57. I thought
maybe she stopped to pick up dinner.
Copy !req
58. I waited
another half hour,
Copy !req
59. and then I phoned
the hospital security.
Copy !req
60. Who'd you talk to?
Copy !req
61. I don't remember.
Copy !req
62. He said that he was
gonna send someone to check her office.
Copy !req
63. He called back
15 minutes later.
Copy !req
64. He said that
she wasn't there.
Copy !req
65. Then I started calling
the hospitals and the police.
Copy !req
66. Did she mention if
any of her clients
Copy !req
67. had been
giving her trouble?
Copy !req
68. No.
Copy !req
69. She always
work this late?
Copy !req
70. Yes.
Copy !req
71. Besides the people
she sees at the hospital,
Copy !req
72. she has private clients.
Copy !req
73. And she consults
for the Archdiocese.
Copy !req
74. Right. I talked to him.
Copy !req
75. He called here about 10:30,
all upset about his wife.
Copy !req
76. So, you sent somebody
to check on her.
Copy !req
77. Uh-huh.
Checked out. No problem.
Copy !req
78. Except her door wasn't locked.
Copy !req
79. Who'd you send?
Copy !req
80. Let me think. Rollins.
Copy !req
81. According to your logs,
Rollins was in the north wing at 10:40.
Copy !req
82. Isn't that all the way
on the other side of the hospital?
Copy !req
83. Then it must've been Jarrett.
Copy !req
84. Jarrett?
Copy !req
85. It says here that
Jarrett was handling a disturbance in the ICU.
Copy !req
86. A homeless woman
caught stealing syringes.
Copy !req
87. Look, the fact is,
you didn't send anyone up
Copy !req
88. to Dr. Burk's office,
did you?
Copy !req
89. Hey, she's five minutes
late getting home.
Copy !req
90. I can't screw up
my entire rotation.
Copy !req
91. So instead,
you lied to her husband.
Copy !req
92. I got two people
out with the flu.
Copy !req
93. And how'd
this homeless woman
Copy !req
94. make it all
the way up to the ICU without being detected?
Copy !req
95. She was caught.
I call that being detected.
Copy !req
96. Well, you're gonna
give us your records
Copy !req
97. of all the other homeless
people you detected in the last six months.
Copy !req
98. This place
had some month.
Copy !req
99. Theft of drugs,
trespassing, indecent exposure,
Copy !req
100. defecating
in a public area, theft of patient meals.
Copy !req
101. That's a crime? Autopsy came in.
Copy !req
102. No sign of
sexual assault.
Copy !req
103. M.E. thinks
the murder weapon was a pair of scissors.
Copy !req
104. Rey, those photos
from her office?
Copy !req
105. There's one skell they
caught last month stealing linen.
Copy !req
106. "Subject was
male Caucasian.
Copy !req
107. "Identified himself
as Pope Adrian VI of Utrecht.
Copy !req
108. "Subject was ejected
from the premises.
Copy !req
109. "Subject was wearing
Copy !req
110. "green raincoat
and red baseball cap from a dry cleaning store."
Copy !req
111. All decked out
for Christmas, huh?
Copy !req
112. There it is,
next to her desk.
Copy !req
113. "Stain's Dry Cleaning."
Copy !req
114. No good deed
goes unpunished.
Copy !req
115. My wife talked me into
letting her brother do the hats.
Copy !req
116. Stan's Dry Cleaning. This
is what he came back with.
Copy !req
117. "Stains."
He thought it was cute.
Copy !req
118. How many hats did you get?
Copy !req
119. Like this?
Copy !req
120. Just the one. I had him
fix it before I ordered the others.
Copy !req
121. And you tossed this one?
Copy !req
122. I put it in
with the clothes people leave past 60 days,
Copy !req
123. then I took them over to
St. Remy's on 30th Street.
Copy !req
124. Thanks.
Copy !req
125. Sorry, I don't pay
attention to their hats.
Copy !req
126. This guy thinks
he's Pope Adrian VI.
Copy !req
127. Leonard.
Copy !req
128. I don't know
his last name. What's he done?
Copy !req
129. Well, it's in connection
with a murder at St. Anne's Hospital.
Copy !req
130. Murder? Doesn't
sound like Leonard.
Copy !req
131. Once you
start thinking you're the Pope,
Copy !req
132. it's not much of a stretch
to killing people.
Copy !req
133. Does he sleep here?
Copy !req
134. No. He doesn't
like the noise.
Copy !req
135. Well, it's better
than freezing.
Copy !req
136. Oh, he's in good health.
Copy !req
137. I'm sure
he's found a way to keep warm at night.
Copy !req
138. When was the last
time you saw him?
Copy !req
139. Last week.
He came in for supper.
Copy !req
140. I noticed he was wearing
hospital scrubs under his coat.
Copy !req
141. Thanks for your help.
Copy !req
142. Scrubs?
He'd blend in.
Copy !req
143. Yeah, and make
himself at home.
Copy !req
144. You people never checked up here?
Copy !req
145. Not since they
closed down the floors.
Copy !req
146. What's the point?
There's nothing to steal up here anyway.
Copy !req
147. I smell a big,
fat lawsuit, McGiven, with you as Exhibit A.
Copy !req
148. Here we are.
Copy !req
149. And here it is, Rey.
The Holy See.
Copy !req
150. Give us a day.
Copy !req
151. This guy shows up,
we'll catch him.
Copy !req
152. Yeah, right.
Copy !req
153. If we hadn't had
the hospital searched,
Copy !req
154. this guy would've started
holding Sunday services
Copy !req
155. right here under your nose.
Copy !req
156. Unit One, this is Unit Two.
Copy !req
157. Yeah, go ahead.
Copy !req
158. There's a male Caucasian
matching the suspect
Copy !req
159. in the second floor
waiting area.
Copy !req
160. He's in there.
Copy !req
161. Hey, how's it going?
Copy !req
162. The nurse at the desk
wanted me to tell you
Copy !req
163. she has free toys
for your kids.
Copy !req
164. She said
just go ahead and bring them right over.
Copy !req
165. Hey, stop!
Copy !req
166. All right,
take it easy, Your Holiness.
Copy !req
167. Help us! It's all right, buddy.
Copy !req
168. Save us from these
Lutheran blasphemers!
Copy !req
169. I know this place.
Copy !req
170. First there's the tears,
then the blood.
Copy !req
171. So you've been
here before, huh?
Copy !req
172. They wanted
me to renounce transubstantiation.
Copy !req
173. To deny the Eucharist.
Copy !req
174. I'm gonna be sorry I asked,
but who's "they"?
Copy !req
175. The Princes of Germany.
Copy !req
176. What about Dr. Burk?
Copy !req
177. Did she ever do
anything to you?
Copy !req
178. She's not a doctor.
She's a nun.
Copy !req
179. Her baptismal name
is Katherina von Bora.
Copy !req
180. Oh, that's a secret.
She's hiding from him.
Copy !req
181. Him?
Copy !req
182. The Antichrist.
The Devil of Wittenberg.
Copy !req
183. You mean Martin Luther?
Copy !req
184. Yes. Yes.
Copy !req
185. Now, Dr. Burk,
she a pal of yours?
Copy !req
186. I took a vow of poverty.
Copy !req
187. She bought me boots. See? Yeah, fine.
Copy !req
188. Lieutenant.
Copy !req
189. So you've been up
to her office, then, on the third floor?
Copy !req
190. I don't go to
women's rooms.
Copy !req
191. Your hat does.
Copy !req
192. My miter.
I gave it to her.
Copy !req
193. When? Days ago.
Copy !req
194. To let her enemies
know she was protected by the power of the Holy See,
Copy !req
195. by the authority
of the Vatican, and the infallibility of the Pope.
Copy !req
196. Her enemies
being Martin Luther?
Copy !req
197. And his minions.
Copy !req
198. A blasphemous whore
with a crown of fire.
Copy !req
199. She was screaming at her,
one-two-three-four-five days ago,
Copy !req
200. defying the authority
of the Bishop,
Copy !req
201. of Canon Law,
and the Council of Trent.
Copy !req
202. Come in.
Copy !req
203. That's for us.
You can wait here.
Copy !req
204. His prints are in the system.
Leonard Gardner.
Copy !req
205. Multiples
for trespassing, vagrancy, petty theft.
Copy !req
206. He spent the night
of the murder in the 16 for urinating on a public street.
Copy !req
207. Was released
the next day.
Copy !req
208. The times check out?
Copy !req
209. I called over. He was
grabbed up at 7:30.
Copy !req
210. So he goes back
to tending his flock,
Copy !req
211. and we go back to
scratching our heads.
Copy !req
212. He said Dr. Burk
had an argument with someone
Copy !req
213. over the authority
of the Bishop.
Copy !req
214. Didn't she
do some work for the Archdiocese?
Copy !req
215. MARINO: This is
a terrible loss.
Copy !req
216. Linda Burk was
very highly regarded.
Copy !req
217. What did she do
for the Archdiocese?
Copy !req
218. Mostly prenuptial
counseling.
Copy !req
219. No fireworks there.
Copy !req
220. She also handled the less
pleasant end. Annulments.
Copy !req
221. Ah, the Catholic divorce
after the real divorce.
Copy !req
222. As far as we're concerned,
the annulment is the real divorce.
Copy !req
223. Linda would meet
with the parties
Copy !req
224. and give our tribunal
an evaluation of the marriage.
Copy !req
225. Her word carry
a lot of weight?
Copy !req
226. Our tribunal
usually followed her recommendations.
Copy !req
227. The annulments
ever get contested?
Copy !req
228. Father O'Brien would
know more about that.
Copy !req
229. Well, if a former
Mr. and Mrs.
Copy !req
230. are still raw
from the divorce,
Copy !req
231. it can get messy.
Copy !req
232. And someone like Dr. Burk
gets caught in the middle.
Copy !req
233. Was she
having any problems with her current cases?
Copy !req
234. You think?
Copy !req
235. Well, she mentioned
the Kilpatricks.
Copy !req
236. She didn't go
into specifics.
Copy !req
237. She was still preparing
her evaluation.
Copy !req
238. Would you happen to
have their file handy?
Copy !req
239. Oh, they had a lousy
divorce last year.
Copy !req
240. This didn't
improve their mood.
Copy !req
241. Which way was
the annulment going?
Copy !req
242. Well, we were waiting
for Linda's input.
Copy !req
243. Unless her report turns up,
we're back to square one.
Copy !req
244. Well, whose idea
was the annulment?
Copy !req
245. The husband,
Mr. Kilpatrick. He filed the petition.
Copy !req
246. I understand he wants
to get remarried in the church.
Copy !req
247. Hmm.
Copy !req
248. Look at this.
Love letters.
Copy !req
249. "Dear Molly," signed Gary.
Dated 16 years ago.
Copy !req
250. We look at
their state of mind when they got married.
Copy !req
251. If they lacked
due discretion of judgment.
Copy !req
252. Meaning what?
Copy !req
253. Well, if the bride or groom
had a screw loose or their fingers crossed
Copy !req
254. when they said their "I dos",
it's grounds for annulment.
Copy !req
255. Dr. Burk was supposed to
have read their minds 16 years back?
Copy !req
256. Rey, the Kilpatricks
in happier times.
Copy !req
257. Pretty hair, huh.
Copy !req
258. Pretty fire-red hair.
Copy !req
259. Say hello to
the blasphemous whore with the crown of fire.
Copy !req
260. I saw Dr. Burk
Monday evening at her office.
Copy !req
261. I had some concerns
about the annulment evaluation.
Copy !req
262. Concerns?
Copy !req
263. Questions. Why?
Copy !req
264. She was murdered
Tuesday night in her office.
Copy !req
265. Do you think
I killed her?
Copy !req
266. We're talking to everybody
who had business with her.
Copy !req
267. Where were you Tuesday night?
Copy !req
268. Here, with my son, Billy.
Copy !req
269. And the argument
you had with Dr. Burk?
Copy !req
270. No, it wasn't an argument.
Copy !req
271. But you were upset about the annulment.
Copy !req
272. I was upset
at my husband.
Copy !req
273. He wants the church
to wave a wand and pretend our marriage never happened.
Copy !req
274. To turn our son
into a bastard.
Copy !req
275. He wanted
you to roll over so he could remarry?
Copy !req
276. Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
277. And if Dr. Burk said so,
he'd get his annulment, wouldn't he?
Copy !req
278. Mrs. Kilpatrick, did Dr. Burk tell you
Copy !req
279. what she was
going to recommend?
Copy !req
280. I think I've said
everything I want to say.
Copy !req
281. I'd like you
to leave, please.
Copy !req
282. I don't know what
she told my ex-wife.
Copy !req
283. I spoke to
Dr. Burk on Monday.
Copy !req
284. I got the impression
things were going our way.
Copy !req
285. Was Burk
going to recommend for the annulment?
Copy !req
286. She didn't come
right out and say so,
Copy !req
287. but as Gary's attorney,
I was reasonably optimistic.
Copy !req
288. And did you
share your optimism with Mrs. Kilpatrick?
Copy !req
289. I may have
mentioned it to her attorney.
Copy !req
290. By the way,
did you find the evaluation?
Copy !req
291. The Archdiocese said
she was still working on it.
Copy !req
292. You in a hurry to
take another walk down the aisle?
Copy !req
293. My fiancée is
a devout Catholic.
Copy !req
294. I don't want this
thing to drag out.
Copy !req
295. Mental unfitness
is grounds for annulment. Mrs. Kilpatrick fits the bill.
Copy !req
296. You're not in divorce
court now, Counselor.
Copy !req
297. I'm not speculating.
She has to be medicated.
Copy !req
298. She even took a swing
at me a year ago, during a deposition.
Copy !req
299. I can't imagine why.
Copy !req
300. Sheila Atkins
is her lawyer.
Copy !req
301. She provoked it.
They're both a piece of work.
Copy !req
302. They lost the divorce.
Copy !req
303. I don't think
Molly Kilpatrick could stand losing again.
Copy !req
304. Have a nice day.
Copy !req
305. Divorce lawyers. God's way
of telling you to stay single.
Copy !req
306. Or married.
Copy !req
307. Let's find out which way
Burk was leaning.
Copy !req
308. As far as I can tell,
Copy !req
309. these are just notes taken
during her interviews with the Kilpatricks.
Copy !req
310. Summaries.
Copy of the petition.
Copy !req
311. Nothing that looks like
the evaluation you want.
Copy !req
312. Well, no luck here either.
Copy !req
313. I found drafts of
three other evaluations,
Copy !req
314. but nothing on
the Kilpatricks.
Copy !req
315. Did you check her home?
Copy !req
316. Yeah. Any place else
it might be?
Copy !req
317. Mmm. Afraid not.
Copy !req
318. Lennie, the computer
when they found her, it was on, right?
Copy !req
319. Yeah.
Copy !req
320. I searched her
computer's memory. Your hunch was right.
Copy !req
321. The Kilpatrick file
was deleted.
Copy !req
322. Well, I assumed so.
Copy !req
323. And then, just to make sure
that we couldn't recover it,
Copy !req
324. they optimized
the hard drive.
Copy !req
325. That, I know they did
at 9:28 Tuesday night,
Copy !req
326. according to
the computer's internal clock.
Copy !req
327. About the same time
Burk was bleeding out.
Copy !req
328. What'd they do again?
Copy !req
329. They reorganized all
the data in the memory.
Copy !req
330. Anything that was erased,
it's gone for good.
Copy !req
331. Well, except as
electronic flotsam
Copy !req
332. and jetsam bobbing
on a pool of silicon.
Copy !req
333. Now, if you're smart enough,
you can skim the surface.
Copy !req
334. And you're
smart enough? Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
335. "Mrs. Kilpatrick
has demonstrated mental instabilities.
Copy !req
336. "Her immaturity raises doubts
Copy !req
337. "as to whether the
Kilpatricks truly formed
Copy !req
338. "the requisite
marital bond which..."
Copy !req
339. That's it?
Copy !req
340. Everything with
Kilpatrick in the text.
Copy !req
341. Sounds like Burk
was recommending annulment.
Copy !req
342. You have to be some
kind of computer whiz to do this erasing trick?
Copy !req
343. Well, your suspect
would have to know
Copy !req
344. more than just how
to turn the machine on.
Copy !req
345. Molly Kilpatrick is
a terrific employee.
Copy !req
346. I don't want her to think
I'm talking behind her back.
Copy !req
347. Does she work
with computers?
Copy !req
348. Of course.
Like all bookkeepers.
Copy !req
349. We're a long way
from Bob Cratchit.
Copy !req
350. Well, does
she hunt and peck, or is she good at it?
Copy !req
351. She knows all
of the software.
Copy !req
352. She even helps
train our recruits.
Copy !req
353. So she's familiar with
disk optimizing programs?
Copy !req
354. Absolutely.
Copy !req
355. What kind of
trouble is she in?
Copy !req
356. Who said she's in trouble?
Copy !req
357. Last Tuesday evening, you
remember what time she left?
Copy !req
358. Early.
Just before 6:30.
Copy !req
359. That's early?
Copy !req
360. She's here till 8:00,
usually.
Copy !req
361. She had to
see her lawyer.
Copy !req
362. She say if
she had any plans later?
Copy !req
363. No. I guess it was the usual.
Dinner at home and a video.
Copy !req
364. With her son?
Copy !req
365. Not Tuesday nights.
He's with his father.
Copy !req
366. You sure of that? Are you kidding?
Copy !req
367. It took them eight months
to work out the custody arrangement.
Copy !req
368. They even had me
give a deposition.
Copy !req
369. That's right,
she was here.
Copy !req
370. Any more than that, like
the color of her blouse, I can't tell you.
Copy !req
371. What about
what time she left, Ms. Atkins?
Copy !req
372. That's not privileged.
Copy !req
373. And you know this
because you're an attorney?
Copy !req
374. Molly told me that you're
trying to implicate her in Dr. Burk's murder.
Copy !req
375. Well, she wasn't too
thrilled about the annulment.
Copy !req
376. Who told you that,
Mr. Kilpatrick?
Copy !req
377. He's the one who
needs the annulment.
Copy !req
378. Because of his
devoutly Catholic fiancée.
Copy !req
379. Not his fiancée, her parents.
Copy !req
380. They are rich
devout Catholics.
Copy !req
381. Kilpatrick is
looking for some relief. We soaked him pretty good.
Copy !req
382. Really? Well,
his lawyer seems to think it was the other way around.
Copy !req
383. Paul Redfield would
like to believe that.
Copy !req
384. But at the end of the day,
Copy !req
385. he's not the one putting
all those zeroes on the alimony checks.
Copy !req
386. And as to what
time your client left and where she was going?
Copy !req
387. I'm not saying
anything about that.
Copy !req
388. That's too bad, Ms. Atkins,
Copy !req
389. 'cause right about now,
she could use some help with her alibi.
Copy !req
390. Yeah, she told us
she was home alone with her son that night.
Copy !req
391. Turns out the kid
spends Tuesdays with his dad.
Copy !req
392. Oh.
Copy !req
393. You're just
a fountain of misinformation.
Copy !req
394. Billy has dinner
with his father,
Copy !req
395. who then drives him
to hockey practice at 8:00.
Copy !req
396. Molly picks him up
and takes him home. Happy?
Copy !req
397. Ecstatic.
Copy !req
398. She showed up, all right.
At around 8:30, with bells on.
Copy !req
399. Eighty-proof bells,
or something else?
Copy !req
400. She's a pill head.
Copy !req
401. She tried to pull
her kid out of practice.
Copy !req
402. Poor kid was embarrassed.
I finally got her out the door.
Copy !req
403. Her ex told me
how to handle her.
Copy !req
404. So this wasn't
the first time?
Copy !req
405. No, she came to a game
about two months ago.
Copy !req
406. Mr. Kilpatrick shows up
with his girlfriend,
Copy !req
407. Mrs. Kilpatrick goes nuts.
Copy !req
408. And I thought the players
were the only ones allowed to fight.
Copy !req
409. The next day,
their lawyers got into it.
Copy !req
410. I had to submit
a game schedule,
Copy !req
411. and they negotiated
who could come when.
Copy !req
412. Last Tuesday evening,
what time did practice end?
Copy !req
413. 9:30, same as always.
Copy !req
414. She pick him up?
Copy !req
415. No. Billy said
she told him to take a cab home.
Copy !req
416. Thanks.
Copy !req
417. I was home sleeping.
Copy !req
418. Did you talk to anyone?
Maybe on the phone?
Copy !req
419. No, I don't think so.
Copy !req
420. Well, you're not
really clear about that night, are you?
Copy !req
421. Is that because of the pills?
Copy !req
422. Come on, Molly.
We asked around.
Copy !req
423. You were taking
Prozac and Valium.
Copy !req
424. Can I have a cup of coffee?
Copy !req
425. They're just making
a fresh pot. Rough night?
Copy !req
426. Am I going to be here long?
Copy !req
427. Hey, if you want
to leave, go ahead.
Copy !req
428. But we have to warn you,
Copy !req
429. the District Attorney
can use that as a reason to arrest you.
Copy !req
430. So how many Valium
you take every night?
Copy !req
431. One.
Copy !req
432. Sometimes two.
Copy !req
433. But some days it's more, yeah?
Copy !req
434. I don't keep
a running count.
Copy !req
435. How about that Tuesday?
Copy !req
436. Was it three or four?I don't know.
Copy !req
437. Well, it was enough
that you went home and passed out.
Copy !req
438. I was very tired.
Copy !req
439. You remember
what time that was?
Copy !req
440. No.
Copy !req
441. Well, how long
after you left the rink?
Copy !req
442. Half an hour?
An hour? What?
Copy !req
443. I'm... I'm not exactly sure.
Copy !req
444. It couldn't
have been an hour.
Copy !req
445. You remember
what happened at the rink?
Copy !req
446. I went to see my son.
Copy !req
447. Yeah, you tried to yank
him off the ice, right?
Copy !req
448. You were hysterical.I don't think so.
Copy !req
449. You were yelling
at his coach, Molly.
Copy !req
450. People saw you.
Copy !req
451. Now, maybe you just
don't remember it because of the pills you took.
Copy !req
452. I don't know.It's no big deal.
Copy !req
453. I mean, you let off
some steam at his coach,
Copy !req
454. and you just don't
remember it, right?
Copy !req
455. Right? Yeah.
Copy !req
456. Her divorce lawyer's
outside.
Copy !req
457. Mrs. Kilpatrick's son
told her she was here.
Copy !req
458. This lady's
starting to slip.
Copy !req
459. We don't have all day.
Her lawyer's chewing through the leash.
Copy !req
460. Pot's almost ready.
Copy !req
461. So, Molly, I read up
on annulments.
Copy !req
462. Ninety percent
of them are granted,
Copy !req
463. whether they're
contested or not.
Copy !req
464. Now, to me, that
sounds like a rigged game.
Copy !req
465. And I say that being
a practicing Catholic.
Copy !req
466. Same as you, yeah?
Copy !req
467. Yes.
Copy !req
468. It's like the church
is saying all these marriages never existed.
Copy !req
469. Now, when you took your vows
in the church before God,
Copy !req
470. you meant them, yeah? Yes.
Copy !req
471. And so did
your husband.
Copy !req
472. Yeah, I read
the letters he sent you.
Copy !req
473. He really loved you.
Copy !req
474. And now, what,
16 years later,
Copy !req
475. he wants the church to,
how did you put it,
Copy !req
476. "Wave a wand and
say it never happened"?
Copy !req
477. Yes.
Copy !req
478. He expected you to
go along with that?
Copy !req
479. To lie before God?
Copy !req
480. I wouldn't do it.
Copy !req
481. Is that what you told
Dr. Burk on Monday,
Copy !req
482. when you had
those concerns?
Copy !req
483. She didn't care!
Copy !req
484. She knew he was lying
about the marriage.
Copy !req
485. About me.
About the money, even.
Copy !req
486. So you
went back on Tuesday, after you left the rink?
Copy !req
487. No, I went home.
Copy !req
488. Wait a minute. Wait.
You just said that you blanked out at the rink.
Copy !req
489. Next thing you remembered,
you were passed out in your bed.
Copy !req
490. That leaves
a big gap, Molly.
Copy !req
491. Hey, if you
were on drugs, Molly, you're not responsible.
Copy !req
492. If it was
an accident or self-defense,
Copy !req
493. the D.A. has to take
that into consideration.
Copy !req
494. Nothing'll happen to you. What are you saying?
Copy !req
495. We're giving you a chance
to help yourself.
Copy !req
496. Hey, look, you had
every right to be angry at her.
Copy !req
497. Things just got
out of control, right? Isn't that what happened?
Copy !req
498. Maybe she
did something to you.
Copy !req
499. She pushed you,
you grabbed the scissors.
Copy !req
500. That's self-defense.
Copy !req
501. Yeah, I bet you didn't
even mean to hurt her.
Copy !req
502. I mean, you just
swung the scissors, and it was bad luck.
Copy !req
503. It was an accident,
right?
Copy !req
504. Molly, you tell us
it was an accident, you can walk out of here.
Copy !req
505. Go ahead, Molly.
Copy !req
506. You took all those pills
and you accidentally killed her, right?
Copy !req
507. What the hell do you think
you're doing?
Copy !req
508. Molly, not another word.
Copy !req
509. You can say
anything you want, Molly.
Copy !req
510. I'm taking you home.
Copy !req
511. Her lawyer'd
gotten stuck in traffic, we'd have a confession.
Copy !req
512. Has anyone
talked to her son?
Copy !req
513. Parents won't
make him available.
Copy !req
514. There's gotta be something
in what she said to jump start a search warrant.
Copy !req
515. I wouldn't go near a judge
with that crap.
Copy !req
516. You told her
we could arrest her if she tried to leave?
Copy !req
517. Who told you that?
Copy !req
518. Besides the fact
that you lied to her,
Copy !req
519. it takes it
pretty damn close to a custodial interrogation.
Copy !req
520. We also told her she could
leave any time she wanted to.
Copy !req
521. Please. This is not
some dumb gangbanger with a Legal Aid lawyer.
Copy !req
522. Nice to see where
you draw the line.
Copy !req
523. Hey. Forget it, Rey.
Copy !req
524. Hey, look,
she shoved a pair of scissors
Copy !req
525. into this woman's chest.
Copy !req
526. You want us to serve her
tea cakes while she makes up her mind to give it up?
Copy !req
527. She was this close.
Copy !req
528. Better she didn't confess.
Copy !req
529. Saves us all from
looking like idiots when it gets tossed.
Copy !req
530. Come on, Rey,
if she had given it up,
Copy !req
531. he'd throw his shoulder out
trying to pat himself on the back.
Copy !req
532. It wasn't all
a waste of time.
Copy !req
533. She said something
about Burk knowing
Copy !req
534. her husband was
lying about his money.
Copy !req
535. Ex-wives always think
their husbands lie about money.
Copy !req
536. And they're
probably right.
Copy !req
537. If he really
had something to hide, and somehow Burk knew,
Copy !req
538. it pumps up
Molly Kilpatrick's motive.
Copy !req
539. Or her husband's. Take
a look at his finances.
Copy !req
540. We don't have enough
to subpoena them.
Copy !req
541. Maybe this Sheila Atkins
can save you the trouble.
Copy !req
542. I have 23 boxes full
of his financial records.
Copy !req
543. Why should
I give them to you?
Copy !req
544. So you can use them
against my client?
Copy !req
545. They might clear your client.
Copy !req
546. We suspect Mr. Kilpatrick
might have killed Dr. Burk
Copy !req
547. because she knew
something about his finances.
Copy !req
548. Knew how?
Copy !req
549. Your client seems
to think he told her.
Copy !req
550. Maybe Mr. Kilpatrick
let his guard down
Copy !req
551. during one of his
sessions with Dr. Burk.
Copy !req
552. Ms. Ross, I think we can
work together on this.
Copy !req
553. It's in your
client's interests.
Copy !req
554. My client's interests
lie in proving
Copy !req
555. that her husband and
his lawyer conspired to defraud her.
Copy !req
556. Go on. He's been hiding assets
Copy !req
557. at the direction
of Mr. Redfield.
Copy !req
558. You know this for a fact?
Copy !req
559. I can't prove it to
a judge for a fact. Yet.
Copy !req
560. Molly told me
it was possible that Dr. Burk knew.
Copy !req
561. I wanted Dr. Burk
to go on the record.
Copy !req
562. I'll have those files
delivered to your office by tomorrow morning.
Copy !req
563. The forensic accountants
think Kilpatrick undervalued his company.
Copy !req
564. He told the Family Court
it was worth a million-two.
Copy !req
565. Atkins puts the number
closer to four.
Copy !req
566. Wishful thinking?
Copy !req
567. Our accountants feel
Atkins has a decent case.
Copy !req
568. She's hoping
we can help her prove it.
Copy !req
569. Oh, no. We're not getting
dragged into their divorce.
Copy !req
570. Did the police happen
to ask Mr. Kilpatrick
Copy !req
571. where he was
the night of the murder?
Copy !req
572. No. They didn't
consider him a suspect.
Copy !req
573. Well, we do.
Copy !req
574. You want an alibi from him?
Copy !req
575. If he has one.
Copy !req
576. I don't
like your tone. Why is he a suspect?
Copy !req
577. Sheila Atkins
was going to depose Dr. Burk about his finances.
Copy !req
578. Our accountants went
through your records, Mr. Kilpatrick.
Copy !req
579. I turned my books
inside-out for Molly.
Copy !req
580. I haven't denied her anything
that's rightfully hers.
Copy !req
581. This is another
Sheila Atkins fishing expedition.
Copy !req
582. They're stalling the annulment
in order to extort money from him.
Copy !req
583. Atkins telling her client
there's a pot of gold, when there's nothing.
Copy !req
584. Mr. Kilpatrick,
if you could just answer my question.
Copy !req
585. After I dropped my son off,
I went home to change,
Copy !req
586. and then I met
a friend for drinks.
Copy !req
587. About 9:30.
Copy !req
588. I'll need
your friend's name and number.
Copy !req
589. David Harrigan. Sure.
Copy !req
590. I've seen
Sheila Atkins at work for 10 years.
Copy !req
591. The woman ought to
have her license pulled.
Copy !req
592. She has nice things
to say about you, too. Thank you.
Copy !req
593. I had a crisis
with a Korean bank,
Copy !req
594. so I got to the bar
maybe quarter to 10:00.
Copy !req
595. Gary had started without me.
Copy !req
596. How long had
he been there?
Copy !req
597. He was into
his third Chivas.
Copy !req
598. He wasn't
wasting any time.
Copy !req
599. Well, since the split-up...
Copy !req
600. He says you're
investigating him about this murder.
Copy !req
601. He called you?
Copy !req
602. To give me
a heads up, yeah.
Copy !req
603. Don't worry,
he didn't ask me to lie. He knows me better than that.
Copy !req
604. You don't sound convinced
he didn't do it.
Copy !req
605. I believe
he's innocent.
Copy !req
606. That's not
a ringing endorsement.
Copy !req
607. What about Molly?
Copy !req
608. I've known them since college.
Copy !req
609. I mean,
their son and mine
Copy !req
610. practically
grew up together.
Copy !req
611. Gary and Molly
were decent people.
Copy !req
612. Even the divorce
started out friendly.
Copy !req
613. Then the lawyers
got hold of them. Jeez!
Copy !req
614. Hyenas have
better manners.
Copy !req
615. I just worry
what it's done to their son, Billy.
Copy !req
616. Do you talk to him?
Copy !req
617. Well, he's been staying
with us since a few days ago.
Copy !req
618. Why is that?
Copy !req
619. Something to do
with his mother. I don't know what.
Copy !req
620. He just needs a time-out.
Copy !req
621. Do you mind
if I talk to him?
Copy !req
622. You don't have to answer
if you don't want to, Billy.
Copy !req
623. It's just the stuff
at home.
Copy !req
624. With my mother.
Copy !req
625. With her pills and all that.
Copy !req
626. She cries a lot.
Copy !req
627. She's not in good shape.
Copy !req
628. Like the night she tried
to take you out of practice.
Copy !req
629. What happened
when you got home?
Copy !req
630. I'm sick of everybody
asking me that.
Copy !req
631. Who else asked?
Copy !req
632. Dad's lawyer, and Mom's.
Copy !req
633. She told me not to talk
about it with anybody.
Copy !req
634. Ms. Atkins?
Do you trust her?
Copy !req
635. Billy, did your mom tell you
to take a cab home from practice that night?
Copy !req
636. You should
tell her the truth, Billy.
Copy !req
637. She was
supposed to pick me up.
Copy !req
638. I called her.
She didn't answer.
Copy !req
639. Was she there
when you got home?
Copy !req
640. Her door was closed.
She was sleeping.
Copy !req
641. Did you see her or hear her?
Copy !req
642. Did you knock on the door? No.
Copy !req
643. I went to my room
and watched videos.
Copy !req
644. So, she still
could have been asleep.
Copy !req
645. Uncle David,
I don't think she was there.
Copy !req
646. I heard her phone ring
in her room.
Copy !req
647. She never answered it.
Copy !req
648. Her own son isn't
supporting her alibi.
Copy !req
649. She was halfway
to a confession a week ago.
Copy !req
650. She's popping pills,
crying herself to sleep at night?
Copy !req
651. Arresting her
might push her the rest of the way.
Copy !req
652. Pick her up.
Copy !req
653. Get warrants for
her home and office.
Copy !req
654. Better put her
on suicide watch.
Copy !req
655. Half a million dollars bail?
It's utterly punitive.
Copy !req
656. If it keeps her where
she can't hurt herself or others.
Copy !req
657. You know, that's
a very benign view
Copy !req
658. of imprisonment
before conviction.
Copy !req
659. I don't see
a strong case here.
Copy !req
660. I don't see a case
here at all.
Copy !req
661. Nothing specifically
contradicts her alibi,
Copy !req
662. and nothing directly
connects her to the crime.
Copy !req
663. So far, carpet fibers
from the victim's office have turned up at her house
Copy !req
664. and hair matching hers
was found at the crime scene.
Copy !req
665. All of which can be explained innocently.
Copy !req
666. All we need
is a speck of blood where it doesn't belong.
Copy !req
667. I didn't kill her.
Why don't you believe me?
Copy !req
668. Molly, please
let me handle this.
Copy !req
669. Are you putting
Mr. Kilpatrick under the same microscope?
Copy !req
670. His alibi can
be corroborated.
Copy !req
671. By David Harrigan?
Copy !req
672. Before you take his
testimony at face value,
Copy !req
673. look at his
banking practices.
Copy !req
674. Yeah, well, look, we're not
going to settle this today.
Copy !req
675. Let's talk
about chopping this bail in half.
Copy !req
676. Out of the question.
Now, if you want to talk about a plea.
Copy !req
677. With what you've got?
Copy !req
678. Given her state of mind,
we're willing to go to man one.
Copy !req
679. That's a minimum of
eight years in prison,
Copy !req
680. Mrs. Kilpatrick,
instead of 25,
Copy !req
681. if you're convicted
of second-degree murder.
Copy !req
682. You'll get laughed out
of the grand jury first.
Copy !req
683. We're done here. Come on.
Copy !req
684. And I used to think
my divorce was rough.
Copy !req
685. Look where you
could have ended up.
Copy !req
686. My murder fantasies don't
include getting caught.
Copy !req
687. Ms. Ross, Mr. McCoy,
Copy !req
688. between you and me,
Mr. Behrens blew it.
Copy !req
689. Only if your
client's guilty.
Copy !req
690. I'm not conceding anything.
Copy !req
691. But I don't see things
looking up for Molly anytime soon.
Copy !req
692. What are you proposing?
Copy !req
693. Whatever's best for her.
Copy !req
694. Does your offer of man one
come with a sentence recommendation?
Copy !req
695. Give me a number.
Copy !req
696. Molly listens to me.
Copy !req
697. I'll get back to you
in a few days.
Copy !req
698. Yeah, I'll let him know.
Okay. Thanks. Bye.
Copy !req
699. Atkins.
She had her halfway there, until Behrens got wind of it.
Copy !req
700. Nice try. She'll take another run at it
Copy !req
701. once we get an indictment.
Copy !req
702. All our adversaries
should be this accommodating.
Copy !req
703. Or pragmatic.
Copy !req
704. Addressed to me,
belongs to you.
Copy !req
705. From the
Bar Association Ethics Committee.
Copy !req
706. Dues check bounced?
Copy !req
707. They're requesting copies
of all non-confidential documents
Copy !req
708. held by the District
Attorney's Office
Copy !req
709. in People v.
Molly Kilpatrick.
Copy !req
710. This case hasn't even gone
to the grand jury yet
Copy !req
711. and already
there's an ethics problem?
Copy !req
712. Jamie, I'm not supposed
to discuss pending matters.
Copy !req
713. Don't send me back to
Jack McCoy empty-handed.
Copy !req
714. You know what
a hard ass he is.
Copy !req
715. Yeah.
You seeing anybody?
Copy !req
716. You want
an introduction?
Copy !req
717. Sure.
Copy !req
718. Tell you
what else you can do for me.
Copy !req
719. Give up a Saturday to work
Copy !req
720. with my high school mock
trial team at St. Joseph's.
Copy !req
721. Sure. I'll teach them
to spell quid pro quo.
Copy !req
722. Sheila Atkins
came to the committee
Copy !req
723. for an advisory opinion
on a privilege issue.
Copy !req
724. That's all I can say.
Copy !req
725. It's got to be about something
Molly Kilpatrick told her.
Copy !req
726. An incriminating statement
that might not be privileged.
Copy !req
727. That explains
why Ms. Atkins was pushing for a plea.
Copy !req
728. If it's not privileged,
she has a duty to come forward.
Copy !req
729. She's obviously
struggling with it.
Copy !req
730. Why else go to
the Ethics Committee?
Copy !req
731. Whatever they tell her,
she's not bound by their decision.
Copy !req
732. It has no force of law.
Copy !req
733. Any new evidence
against Mrs. Kilpatrick?
Copy !req
734. Nothing new
from Forensics.
Copy !req
735. Yeah, well, then
it's up to Ms. Atkins.
Copy !req
736. If she can't bring herself
to do the right thing, we got a problem.
Copy !req
737. Exactly what
ethical dilemma am I struggling with?
Copy !req
738. An issue of privilege
regarding Molly Kilpatrick.
Copy !req
739. We know you went to
the Ethics Committee.
Copy !req
740. Somebody has a big mouth.
Copy !req
741. Would you mind getting out
of my way? They can't see me.
Copy !req
742. The Committee asked
us for documentation.
Copy !req
743. This can't come
as a surprise to you.
Copy !req
744. We appreciate
you take the canons of ethics seriously.
Copy !req
745. We hope we don't
have to compel you
Copy !req
746. to disclose what
your client told you.
Copy !req
747. I don't
have anything to say to you.
Copy !req
748. You have until
tomorrow morning, or we go to the judge.
Copy !req
749. Don't wait up for me.
And thank you.
Copy !req
750. This motion's
an egregious attempt
Copy !req
751. to intrude on the
attorney-client relationship.
Copy !req
752. And for all
Mr. McCoy knows,
Copy !req
753. the information he's trying
to wring out of Ms. Atkins is irrelevant.
Copy !req
754. Mr. McCoy,
you have any idea what you're after?
Copy !req
755. I can only speculate.
Copy !req
756. Speculate out loud.
Copy !req
757. Solicitation
by a client for help in a cover-up.
Copy !req
758. A statement by a client
that he or she intends to commit a crime,
Copy !req
759. or offer
perjured testimony.
Copy !req
760. Is he in the ballpark,
Ms. Atkins?
Copy !req
761. I'm not conceding that
my client said anything.
Copy !req
762. You didn't call the Ethics
Committee for cooking tips.
Copy !req
763. That's between
her and the Committee.
Copy !req
764. And this court.
Copy !req
765. Your Honor, you have the
authority to compel her to talk.
Copy !req
766. Thank you, Mr. McCoy.
Copy !req
767. Ms. Atkins, you and I
are going to have a chat in camera.
Copy !req
768. The rest of you
can wait outside.
Copy !req
769. Divorce lawyers wrestling
with their conscience.
Copy !req
770. What's next? Plumbers
who don't pad their bills?
Copy !req
771. If my gut's right, you might
start thinking about a plea.
Copy !req
772. The Judge wants you back in.
Copy !req
773. Back on the record.
Copy !req
774. Ms. Atkins has informed me of
Mrs. Kilpatrick's statements.
Copy !req
775. In light of
the canons of ethics and the relevant case law,
Copy !req
776. the statements
are not protected
Copy !req
777. by the client-attorney
privilege.
Copy !req
778. Ms. Atkins has
a duty to divulge them to the District Attorney.
Copy !req
779. The People's motions
to compel are granted.
Copy !req
780. Let's hear it, Ms. Atkins.
Copy !req
781. Not until you and I reach
an agreement.
Copy !req
782. Your Honor?
Copy !req
783. Ms. Atkins, you can
be held in contempt.
Copy !req
784. With all due respect,
Your Honor,
Copy !req
785. Molly Kilpatrick
is still my client,
Copy !req
786. and I still represent
her interests.
Copy !req
787. First, they agree
to a minimum sentence on a plea of man one.
Copy !req
788. Three-to-six?
Copy !req
789. Then they issue subpoenas
Copy !req
790. for accounts held
by Paul Redfield in the Virgin Islands.
Copy !req
791. I don't understand.
Who's Mr. Redfield?
Copy !req
792. He represents my
client's ex-husband.
Copy !req
793. I intend to prove that he
and Mr. Kilpatrick conspired to hide assets from her.
Copy !req
794. You don't need our help.
You can get your own subpoenas.
Copy !req
795. Family Court
turned me down.
Copy !req
796. This is a civil matter.
Copy !req
797. Even if we wanted to,
we don't have the authority.
Copy !req
798. You can if you open
a tax fraud investigation into Mr. Kilpatrick.
Copy !req
799. Sooner or later,
my client will be out of jail,
Copy !req
800. and I'm committed to
seeing that she's provided for.
Copy !req
801. That she gets
every last dime she's entitled to.
Copy !req
802. That's all
fine and good, Ms. Atkins.
Copy !req
803. But you have 48 hours
to answer Mr. McCoy,
Copy !req
804. or I'll hold you in contempt.
Copy !req
805. Heck of a lawyer.
Copy !req
806. She's using us to grind
Redfield's face into the ground.
Copy !req
807. If he committed fraud,
it wouldn't be a waste of our time.
Copy !req
808. I don't like
to be manipulated.
Copy !req
809. All of a sudden you don't need
Ms. Atkins' testimony to convict her client?
Copy !req
810. Six months in Rikers
for contempt will compel her testimony.
Copy !req
811. You hope.
Copy !req
812. Her client is
guilty of murder.
Copy !req
813. We're supposed to let
her off with three years
Copy !req
814. and help her gouge
her husband for alimony?
Copy !req
815. You'll get over it.
Copy !req
816. We've decided to accept
Ms. Atkins' terms.
Copy !req
817. We've opened
an investigation
Copy !req
818. into Messrs. Redfield
and Kilpatrick,
Copy !req
819. and we'll make a sentence
recommendation for Mrs. Kilpatrick.
Copy !req
820. I don't understand
what's going on here.
Copy !req
821. Didn't Mr. Behrens explain it to you?
Copy !req
822. Yes, but I didn't
kill Dr. Burk.
Copy !req
823. Molly, it's best
we just listen for now.
Copy !req
824. You're up, Ms. Atkins.
Copy !req
825. I'm sorry, Molly.
They're forcing me to do this.
Copy !req
826. You have to understand
that Molly was driven to it by her husband.
Copy !req
827. By his lawyer's
unconscionable tactics.
Copy !req
828. If it weren't for them,
she wouldn't be on medication.
Copy !req
829. She wouldn't be here.
Copy !req
830. When she came to
my office on Tuesday, she was beside herself.
Copy !req
831. She was fixated
on the annulment.
Copy !req
832. She felt that the church
and Dr. Burk, in particular,
Copy !req
833. were aligned against her.
Copy !req
834. She said, "I'll kill her,
if that's what it takes to change her mind."
Copy !req
835. No, Sheila! Why are
you telling them this?
Copy !req
836. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
837. No, I didn't say that.
Copy !req
838. I couldn't.You'd taken a lot of pills.
Copy !req
839. You didn't know
what you were saying.
Copy !req
840. I never thought
you'd go through with it.
Copy !req
841. No.
Copy !req
842. It can't be true.
Copy !req
843. Please. Oh, God.
Copy !req
844. Three-to-six,
is that right?
Copy !req
845. Contingent on
a psychiatric evaluation?
Copy !req
846. Come on, Molly. Come on.
Copy !req
847. Grand jury subpoenas?
Bank examiners?
Copy !req
848. I can't believe she
talked you into this.
Copy !req
849. If you have
nothing to hide, why jump all over us?
Copy !req
850. Because I don't think
that the District Attorney's office
Copy !req
851. should be a patsy
for Sheila Atkins'
Copy !req
852. malicious campaign
of harassment.
Copy !req
853. Don't be paranoid.
Copy !req
854. She simply alleged what
our forensic accountants already suspected.
Copy !req
855. Paranoid?
This is what I've received from her
Copy !req
856. just within
the past three months.
Copy !req
857. Interrogatories,
motions for legal fees, frivolous criminal complaints.
Copy !req
858. I've got a whole
room in my office filled with her crap.
Copy !req
859. It's attrition,
not litigation.
Copy !req
860. You take a look at that,
and then you tell me if I'm paranoid.
Copy !req
861. Sore loser.
Copy !req
862. The divorce was finalized
four months ago.
Copy !req
863. What's she hope
to gain from this?
Copy !req
864. It does seem
like overkill.
Copy !req
865. I'm surprised
nobody's reined her in.
Copy !req
866. Go back to the Ethics
Committee. Check her out.
Copy !req
867. She's our star witness
against Molly Kilpatrick.
Copy !req
868. I'd like to know
what we're dealing with.
Copy !req
869. Hey.
Copy !req
870. I'm thinking of buying it.
It's an antique.
Copy !req
871. Aren't motorcycles supposed
to have wheels and an engine?
Copy !req
872. Atkins' rap sheet
from the Ethics Committee.
Copy !req
873. Allegations of
conflict of interest,
Copy !req
874. comingling funds,
courtroom misconduct.
Copy !req
875. Looks like she never met
an ethical violation she didn't like.
Copy !req
876. Most of
the complaints were filed by Paul Redfield.
Copy !req
877. Which is only fair, since
she filed an equal number of complaints against him.
Copy !req
878. What's the matter
with those two?
Copy !req
879. It's the adversarial
system on steroids. It gets stranger.
Copy !req
880. I looked
through the papers Redfield left behind.
Copy !req
881. It's a notice of a petition
for a preliminary injunction.
Copy !req
882. Atkins wanted to
enjoin the Archdiocese
Copy !req
883. from proceeding
with the annulment.
Copy !req
884. Enjoin the Archdiocese?
Who's she kidding?
Copy !req
885. She had a hearing
scheduled with Judge Kaufer
Copy !req
886. the Friday after
Linda Burk's death.
Copy !req
887. And?I don't know.
Copy !req
888. I've got to call in
to Kaufer's clerk.
Copy !req
889. Enjoining
the Catholic church.
Copy !req
890. I thought
it was a non-starter.
Copy !req
891. First Amendment,
separation of church and state.
Copy !req
892. I'm surprised
Judge Kaufer even scheduled a hearing.
Copy !req
893. You'll be more
surprised to learn
Copy !req
894. there's actual
case law on this.
Copy !req
895. Ms. Atkins
wasn't completely out in left field.
Copy !req
896. Her petition had merit?
Copy !req
897. Her brief argued
the annulment had civil repercussions.
Copy !req
898. Namely, the illegitimacy
of Mrs. Kilpatrick's son,
Copy !req
899. which can be held
to be defaming and injurious to someone
Copy !req
900. who's not a party to the
ecclesiastic proceedings.
Copy !req
901. She even quoted Blackstone.
Copy !req
902. How did
Judge Kaufer rule?
Copy !req
903. If Ms. Atkins hadn't
withdrawn her petition, I could tell you.
Copy !req
904. When did she do that?
Copy !req
905. The day before the hearing.
Copy !req
906. All right, Ms. Jones.
Thank you.
Copy !req
907. Son of a bitch.
Copy !req
908. She withdrew her petition
right after the murder because it was moot.
Copy !req
909. Because she knew
Burk's evaluation
Copy !req
910. had been destroyed,
because she did it.
Copy !req
911. She knew the annulment
would be stalled.
Copy !req
912. Maybe she knew because
Molly Kilpatrick told her.
Copy !req
913. Then why didn't
Atkins tell us?
Copy !req
914. She killed Burk, Jamie.
Copy !req
915. That whole business
with the Ethics Committee?
Copy !req
916. We were conned.
She framed her own client.
Copy !req
917. She withdrew a petition
two days after a killing.
Copy !req
918. It's not much to hang
a murder charge on.
Copy !req
919. She talked
an innocent woman into three years in jail.
Copy !req
920. Maybe she'll talk herself
into 25-to-life.
Copy !req
921. Call her friend,
Paul Redfield.
Copy !req
922. I took the liberty
of sketching out an agreement.
Copy !req
923. You'll see that it covers
what we discussed on the phone,
Copy !req
924. Kilpatrick puts
a million-five on the table,
Copy !req
925. my client signs off
on the annulment.
Copy !req
926. She's agreed?
Copy !req
927. My clients listen to me, Paul.
Copy !req
928. And I'll tell McCoy
that we're withdrawing the fraud complaint.
Copy !req
929. That might not be
enough to get him off my back.
Copy !req
930. Molly and I don't testify,
he doesn't have a case.
Copy !req
931. The little twerp can pound
his desk all he wants.
Copy !req
932. It doesn't matter.
Copy !req
933. You must have
gone back for seconds
Copy !req
934. when they handed out
the brass ones, Sheila.
Copy !req
935. Mmm.
Copy !req
936. It took you two-and-a-half
years to cry uncle, Paul.
Copy !req
937. I never thought I'd hear it.
Copy !req
938. Your client's going
to prison, and you're doing a victory dance.
Copy !req
939. Why shouldn't I?
Copy !req
940. I earn my fees
in divorce court. Criminal law is not my bag.
Copy !req
941. So, do we have a deal?
Copy !req
942. I tell you what, Sheila.
Copy !req
943. I like everything about it
except the million-five.
Copy !req
944. Let me propose
another figure. Zero.
Copy !req
945. What the hell are
you talking about?
Copy !req
946. I found this in my file.
Copy !req
947. Your petition
for an injunction against the Archdiocese.
Copy !req
948. It looked so promising.
Copy !req
949. I called Judge Kaufer's
clerk to find out what happened to it.
Copy !req
950. Imagine my surprise
when I was told that you withdrew it
Copy !req
951. two days after
Burk was killed.
Copy !req
952. Of course.
Without her report,
Copy !req
953. the annulment is
dead in its tracks.
Copy !req
954. Nobody knew
the report was erased
Copy !req
955. except the person
who erased it.
Copy !req
956. That would be you, Sheila.
Copy !req
957. Oh!
Copy !req
958. Did somebody put drugs
in your protein shake?
Copy !req
959. Fine.
I'll just walk this over to One Hogan Place,
Copy !req
960. and see what McCoy
makes out of it.
Copy !req
961. Or you get your client
to consent to the annulment for no money,
Copy !req
962. and you withdraw
the fraud complaint.
Copy !req
963. You bastard.
I had you beat.
Copy !req
964. In your dreams.
Copy !req
965. I beat you on child support,
on visitations.
Copy !req
966. One extra dinner a month.
Copy !req
967. Kilpatrick
had to double her clothing allowance.
Copy !req
968. He was planning
to do that anyway.
Copy !req
969. You just can't stand to lose.
Copy !req
970. And you know
exactly how to lose.
Copy !req
971. You're an expert at it.
Copy !req
972. They're worse than my kids.
Copy !req
973. You're gonna get
a crash course in losing,
Copy !req
974. 'cause you're going
to prison for murder.
Copy !req
975. I'm taking this to McCoy.
Copy !req
976. Paul, all right, you win.
Copy !req
977. You'll have her
consent tomorrow.
Copy !req
978. Just don't do
anything stupid.
Copy !req
979. Please.
Copy !req
980. Ms. Atkins.
Copy !req
981. What is this?
Copy !req
982. Turn around, please. What are you doing?
Copy !req
983. You're under arrest
for murder.
Copy !req
984. Better start
making criminal law your bag, Ms. Atkins.
Copy !req
985. You have the
right to remain silent.
Copy !req
986. Anything you say
can and will be used...
Copy !req
987. I'm convinced
that he was hiding money from my client,
Copy !req
988. and the annulment was
the only leverage I had left.
Copy !req
989. I practically begged
Dr. Burk to reconsider her evaluation,
Copy !req
990. even just to delay
it for a few weeks, and she refused.
Copy !req
991. I was furious.
Copy !req
992. After two-and-a-half years,
to think that I could lose.
Copy !req
993. And we struggled,
and I stabbed her with a pair of scissors,
Copy !req
994. and then I erased the
report from her computer.
Copy !req
995. And your statements
to the District Attorney regarding Mrs. Kilpatrick?
Copy !req
996. I lied.
Copy !req
997. And I apologize to her.
Copy !req
998. She trusted me
with everything.
Copy !req
999. She gave me a free hand
in how I handled her divorce.
Copy !req
1000. I tried to defend her
rights as...
Copy !req
1001. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1002. You killed my wife
to win a divorce case, and you're sorry!
Copy !req
1003. Order in the court.
Copy !req
1004. Mr. McCoy,
are the People satisfied?
Copy !req
1005. We are, Your Honor.
Copy !req
1006. Sheila Atkins,
pursuant to your plea
Copy !req
1007. of Murder in
the Second Degree
Copy !req
1008. and the recommendation of
the District Attorney's Office,
Copy !req
1009. you are hereby
sentenced to a term of no less than 15 years
Copy !req
1010. and no more
than the term of your natural life
Copy !req
1011. in a facility
to be determined
Copy !req
1012. by the Department
of Correction.
Copy !req
1013. We're adjourned.
Copy !req
1014. Redfield agreed
to full restitution of the missing assets,
Copy !req
1015. and he gets off with having
his license pulled for three years.
Copy !req
1016. He'll probably
count this as a win.
Copy !req
1017. He can drive up to Bedford
and crow to Atkins about it.
Copy !req
1018. Where on earth
did these people learn their ethics?
Copy !req
1019. Law school.
Copy !req
1020. Of course.
Copy !req
