McBride: Fallen Idol (2006) Movie Script
YOUR HONOR, THE
PROSECUTION PRESENTS A...
COMPELLING,
IF FLAWED, ASSESSMENT.
FLAWED?
THERE IS THE QUESTION
OF MITIGATING PRECEDENWHICH THEY HAVE
TOTALLY OVERLOOKED.
YOUR HONOR, I HAVE A
DEDICATED TEAM COMBING THE BOOKS
SEEKING ANY SUCH PRECEDENT,
AND I CAN ASSURE YOU,
WE HAVEN'T OVERLOOKED ANYTHING.
YOU WON'T FIND IIN THE BOOKS,
NOT YET.
THE GRAYSON FRANKS?
BEST LAWYER THERE IS.
HE HAD ME ON THE STAND ONCE.
RATHER HAVE GONE TO THE DENTIST.
WOW.
THANK YOU.
WHEN I DECIDED TO QUITHE FORCE, BECOME A LAWYER,
GRAYSON HELPED ME GET STARTED.
HE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE
GENEROUS WITH HIS TIME.
SOUNDS LIKE A TERRIFIC MAN.
ONE HELL OF A LAWYER, TOO...
THE STEALTH BOMBER IN A SUIT.
I DRAW YOUR ATTENTION
TO PARAGRAPH 5,
WHERE YOU WILL LEARN
THAT THE SUPREME COURT,
WHICH HAS BEEN DEBATING
A VERY SIMILAR CASE,
JUST ISSUED ITS
RULING YESTERDAY
ON BEHALF OF THE PLAINTIFF
PERHAPS YOUR DEDICATED TEAM WAS
TOO BUSY SCOURING THE LAW BOOKS
TO STAY ABREASOF THE SUPREME COURT'S RULING.
CONSIDERING THE PRECEDENINITIATED BY THE SUPREME COURT,
THIS CASE IS DISMISSED.
THE DEFENDANT IS FREE TO GO.
YOU SAIL CLOSE
TO THE WIND, COUNSELOR.
ONLY WAY TO WIN
THE RACE, COUNSELOR.
AS LONG AS THERE
IS REASONABLE DOUBT,
THAT DOUBT MUST WEIGH
ON THE SIDE OF THE DEFENDANT.
THAT'S THE AMERICAN WAY
OF JUSTICE.
WHAT HAPPENED HERE TODAY
BEARS ME OUT. THANK YOU.
GRAYSON!
McBRIDE, WHAA PLEASANT SURPRISE.
HOW IN THE WORLD ARE YOU?
YOU TRYING A CASE HERE TODAY?
EARLIER. WE, STUCK
AROUND TO WATCH THE MASTER.
WELL, IF I HAD KNOWN, I
WOULD HAVE PUT ON A BETTER SHOW.
THAT WAS
QUITE IMPRESSIVE ENOUGH.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
SPEAKING OF TALENT,
THIS IS MY ASSOCIATE
PHIL NEWBERRY.
PHIL.
SIR, IT IS AN HONOR
TO MEET YOU.
WELL, THANK YOU
VERY MUCH BUT...
EASY ON THE "SIR."
IT MAKES ME FEEL OLD.
WHY DON'T YOU SWING BY THE
HOUSE FOR A GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE?

IT WAS 40 YEARS AGO TODAY,
I PASSED THE BAR.
CONGRATULATIONS.
I INVITED
THE STAFF AND--
I INVITED THE D.A.,
BUT I THINK THE D.A.'S DECLINED MY INVITE.

IT'LL GIVE US A CHANCE TO CATCH UP.
COME ON. YOU, TOO, PHIL.
GREAT. YOU'RE
LOOKING FANTASTIC.
HA, HA, HA.
MAC?
HI, TRACY!
HEY!
IT'S SO NICE TO SEE YOU.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE HERE.
YOU DIDN'T TELL ME HE WAS COMING.
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW TILL I
RAN INTO HIM IN THE COURTROOM.
WELL, I KNOW YOU BOYS HAVE
A LOT OF CATCHING UP TO DO.
DON'T BE A STRANGER, MAC, OK?
YOU ARE A LUCKY MAN, GRAYSON.
TELL ME ABOUT IT. SO, HOW'S
THE LAW PRACTICE, COUNSELOR?
IT'S FINE.
YOU KNOW, I-- I MAKE
ENOUGH MONEY OFF SOME
TO SPEND TIME HELPING
THE LITTLE GUY

BY THE SYSTEM.

HI.
CONGRATULATIONS, COUNSELOR.
THANKS, SWEETHEART.
THAT'S DEAN'S WIFE ROCHELLE.
YES. THEY MAKE
A WONDERFUL COUPLE.
I'M VERY SORRY I MISSED

I WAS UP TO MY EYEBALLS
IN A MURDER CASE.
DEAN-- HE'S STILL
WITH FINANCING PARTNERS?
YES, DOING VERY NICELY.
MADE V.P. ALREADY.

BUT WE DO APPRECIATE
THE WONDERFUL GIFT YOU SENT.
WHAT? YOU DIDN'RECEIVE A DOZEN TOASTERS?
NO. ONLY 3, BUT YOURS

VERY DIPLOMATIC OF YOU.
YOU KNOW I HOPE SOMEBODY
LOOKS AT ME THAT WAY SOME DAY.
EXCUSE ME?
THE WAY THAT YOU
WERE LOOKING AT MR. FRANKS?
HE'S A GREAT MAN.
MISTER...
NEWBERRY.
YOU CAN CALL ME PHIL.
WELL, MR. NEWBERRY...
I'VE WORKED AT SEVERAL FIRMS.
I KNOW THE REAL THING.
I-- I WASN'T SUGGESTING
ANYTHING, YOU KNOW--
THIS LATEST CASE,
FOR INSTANCE?
DO YOU KNOW
THAT HE GOT 4 CONTINUANCES,
PLAYING FOR TIME UNTIL THE
SUPREME COURT WROTE ITS DECISION?
WOW. THAT'S VERY IMPRESSIVE.
THAT'S MY HUSBAND.
HE LOVES TAKING RISKS.
RIGHT, KATHY?
YES, I MET GRAYSON FRANKS.
I WAS AT HIS HOUSE
FOR A PARTY.
I GOTTA GO.
OK, I LOVE YOU, TOO.
BYE-BYE.
LET ME GUESS. WHAT IS THAT,
THE 300th PERSON YOU'VE CALLED
TO TELL THEM YOU'VE
MET GRAYSON FRANKS?
SHE CALLED ME.
IT WAS MY MOM.
HOW SWEET. YOU KNOW YOU'RE
SOUNDING A LITTLE STAR-STRUCK?
DO ME A FAVOR?
TAKE A RIDE WITH ME. WHERE?
HAVE TO TAKE JESSE TO THE...
V-E-T. IT'S TIME FOR HIS SHOTS,
AND I'M GONNA NEED SOMEBODY
TO HELP ME
DISTRACT HIM ONCE
HE REALIZES WHERE HE IS.
OK. OK, JESSE,
WANT TO GO FOR A RIDE?
ROGER THAT.
WE'RE STILL ON SITE.
YOU SAID
HIS WALLET'S MISSING?
SO IS HIS WATCH.
LOOK, I'M GONNA GO TALK
TO THE WIDOW.
LET ME KNOW WHEN
THE CORONER GETS HERE.
THANK YOU.
MRS. FRANKS?
I'M DETECTIVE HANSEN.
I'M VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
THANK YOU.
I KNOW THIS IS A DIFFICULTIME FOR YOU, BUT...
I WAS HOPING YOU COULD TELL ME
HOW YOU DISCOVERED YOUR HUSBAND.
THERE'S REALLY
NOT MUCH TO TELL.
I MEAN, I WAS PULLING UP...
THE DRIVEWAY. HIS CAR WAS
BLOCKING THE GATE, AND, UM...
I WENT UP TO SEE
WHAT WAS GOING ON.
AND HE WAS...
LYING THERE.
I TAKE IT HE WORE A WATCH?
YES.
IT SEEMS TO BE MISSING.
IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIAL OR
DISTINCTIVE ABOUT THE WATCH?
IT'S A GOLD ROLEX.
I HAD THE INITIALS...
"G.F." ENGRAVED ON THE BACK.
THANK YOU, MRS. FRANKS.
THAT COULD BE VERY HELPFUL.
YOU KNOW A LOT OF THESE
THINGS ARE KNOCK-OFFS, DON'T YOU?
NOT THIS ONE, GRANDPA.
IT'S THE REAL DEAL.
YEAH, MAYBE.
LET ME TAKE A LOOK.
YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
STRICTLY KOSHER.
THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE WATCH
FOR A KID.
WHERE'D YOU GET IT?
MY UNCLE LEFT IT TO ME.
I HOPE YOU APPRECIATED HIM?
HOW MUCH?
I CAN GIVE YOU 5 GRAND.
YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!
THAT THING'S SOLID GOLD.
IT'S GOTTA BE WORTH
AT LEAST 20 G.
LOOK, FOR ALL I KNOW,
IT COULD BE WORTH 100 Gs,
BUT GOOD LUCK TRYING
TO FIND SOMEBODY
WHO'D BE WILLING
TO PAY THAT MUCH FOR IT.
5 GRAND. IT'S THE BESI COULD DO.
TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.
OK, FINE.
HERE, I NEED YOU
TO WRITE DOWN YOUR NAME
AND YOUR ADDRESS.
WHY?
IT'S THE LAW.
OK, OK. YOU GOT A PEN?
YOU'RE--
MOVE ONE INCH, AND I'LL TAKE
YOUR HEAD OFF OF YOUR SHOULDERS!
YOU'RE CRAZY, OLD MAN. LOOK,
JUST GIVE ME MY WATCH, AND I'M OUTTA HERE.
SHUT UP! PUT YOUR HANDS
ON TOP OF YOUR HEAD.
I THINK WE'LL PASS
ON THIS ONE, JESSE.
WE DON'T DEFEND SLUM LORDS.
HEY, ROBERTA, WHAT'S UP?
MAC, I'VE BEEN
TRYING TO REACH YOU.
YEAH, WHY?
HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS?
WHAT NEWS?
GRAYSON FRANKS WAS
MURDERED LAST NIGHT.
WHAT?
HOW?
LOOKS LIKE ROBBERY.
RO--
UM, THANKS FOR CALLING.
IS YOUR NAME JUAN LOBELL?
YES, JUST LIKE I TOLD
THE COP THAT ARRESTED ME.
AND YOUR INITIALS
AREN'T "G.F."
WHERE'D YOU GET THE WATCH, JUAN?
I FOUND IT.
THE GUY WHO OWNED IOBVIOUSLY DOESN'T CARE
ABOUT IT TOO MUCH.
IT WAS JUST LAYING
ON THE GROUND.
THE GUY WHO OWNED THIS WATCH
WAS MURDERED LAST NIGHT.
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?
I DIDN'T KILL ANYBODY.
I TOLD YOU.
I FOUND THE WATCH.
THEN YOU HAVE NOTHING
TO WORRY ABOUT.
McBRIDE AND ASSOCIATES.
HI, ROBERTA.
YEAH, HE'S RIGHT HERE.
HOLD ON.
ROBERTA.
HI.
REALLY? GOOD.
HUH. OK.
WELL, THANKS FOR TELLING ME.
BYE.
WHAT?
SHE'S, UM, HOLDING
A KID THEY CAUGHT TRYING
TO PAWN GRAYSON FRANKS' ROLEX.
GOOD.
YEAH.
WENT TO HIS HOUSE, THOUGH.
THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY WALLET,
NO CREDIT CARDS, NO MONEY.
PROBABLY DUMPED THE CREDIT CARDS
BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO CONSPICUOUS.
YEAH. MAYBE.
PHIL?
YES.
PHIL NEWBERRY.
MARIE.
YOU GUYS LOOK LIKE
YOU KNOW EACH OTHER.
YEAH, WE-- WE
PRACTICALLY GREW UP TOGETHER.
MY MOTHER TOLD ME
YOU'D BECOME A LAWYER.
TO BE HONEST, I WAS
A LITTLE SURPRISED.
WHY?
BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS
SAID YOU WANTED TO--
THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
MAC, THIS IS MARIE LOBELL.
MARIE, THIS IS MY ASSOCIATE
MR. McBRIDE.
LOBELL?
MR. McBRIDE, I AM-- .
I'M SORRY, AM I INTERRUPTING?
NO. UM...
YOU'RE RELATED TO JUAN LOBELL?
YES, HE'S MY BROTHER.
HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT JUAN?
HE'S THE KID
ROBERTA JUST ARRESTED.
SO YOU KNOW THE CASE, THEN?
YEAH, THE VICTIM WAS
A CLOSE FRIEND OF HIS.
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T KNOW.
UM, WOULD YOU
LIKE TO SIT DOWN?
PLEASE.
WELL, HOW DO YOU TWO
KNOW EACH OTHER?
MARIE'S MOTHER WAS MY
FAMILY'S HOUSEKEEPER FOR YEARS.
SHE WAS LIKE
A SECOND MOTHER TO ME.
MR. McBRIDE,
MY BROTHER MAY BE FOOLISH
AND A LITTLE WILD SOMETIMES,
BUT HE IS NOT A KILLER.
AND YOU THOUGHT THAPHIL MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP.
NOT JUST PHIL.
I ASKED AROUND ABOUT YOU, TOO,
MR. McBRIDE.
HE'S INNOCENT, AND I WANTO MAKE SURE HE'S REPRESENTED
BY SOMEONE WHO WILL
HELP HIM PROVE THAT.
UM, YOU MUST APPRECIATE THAI HAVE A PERSONAL CONFLICT HERE.
BUT MY BROTHER
IS NOT A KILLER.
OK,
NOT PROMISING ANYTHING.
UM, I WILL GO TALK TO JUAN.
YOU'LL REQUIRE A RETAINER.
WE CAN DEAL WITH THAT LATER.
THANK YOU, BOTH OF YOU.
DON'T THANK US YET.
I'M NOT MAKING ANY COMMITMENTS,
EXCEPT TO GO AND TALK TO HIM.
THAT ALONE
DESERVES MY THANKS.
OK.
WHY SHOULD I TALK TO YOU?
BECAUSE I'M HERE TO HELP YOU.
THAT'S WHAT MARIE SAID.
REALLY? YOU SHOULD LISTEN
TO HER. SHE'S A SMART WOMAN.
I DIDN'T KILL HIM.
I DIDN'T DO THOSE THINGS
THEY SAID.
THEY CAUGHT YOU TRYING
TO HOCK A DEAD MAN'S WATCH.
I FOUND IT.
OK.
LET'S SAY I BELIEVE YOU.
HOW DID YOU FIND A GOLD ROLEX?
ME AND MY PARTNER JUST GOT DONE
TUNING UP THIS CUSTOMER'S BIKE,
AND I HAD TAKEN IT OUFOR A TEST DRIVE.
SO, IT DIDN'OCCUR TO YOU
TO TURN SUCH AN EXPENSIVE ITEM
IN TO THE POLICE?
YOU KIDDING? PROBABLY WOULD
HAVE ENDED UP ON SOME COP'S WRIST.
SO I MADE A MISTAKE.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE
TAKEN THE WATCH,
BUT I DIDN'T KILL HIM.
I SWEAR.
I HOPE FOR YOUR SAKE,
YOU'RE TELLING ME THE TRUTH.
SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
DON'T KNOW.
ON THE ONE HAND, YOU'VE GOAN IMPULSIVE, HEAD-STRONG KID
THAT COULD'VE SEEN THE WATCH
AS A TICKET TO A NEW MOTORCYCLE.
OK, SO HE TRIES TO STEAL IT.
THINGS GO WRONG, AND HE
ACCIDENTALLY KILLS FRANKS.
FRANKS WAS STABBED 16 TIMES.
THAT'S NOT AN ACCIDENT.
SO WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER HAND?
IT'S LIKE HE SAID,
RIDING DOWN THE STREET,
SEES A ROLEX LYING
ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
WHICH MEANS WHAT?
FRANKS' KILLER PURPOSELY
THREW THE WATCH AWAY,
WHICH RAISES THE POSSIBILITY...
THAT FRANKS WAS KILLED
FOR ANOTHER REASON.
AND THE MISSING WALLEAND THE WATCH
WERE JUST MEANT TO MAKE
IT LOOK LIKE A ROBBERY.
MARIE THINKS
JUAN IS INNOCENT.
REALLY?
WELL, THAT DOESN'T DO US
A LOT OF GOOD RIGHT NOW.
I WANNA GO TALK TO ROBERTA.
GET ON YOUR PONY AND GET OUTO JUAN'S NEIGHBORHOOD.
HE WORKS IN SOME
LITTLE MOTORCYCLE SHOP
IN SIMI VALLEY.
CHECK IT OUT. TALK TO SOME
OF THE YOUNG KIDS ON THE STREET.
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES
PEOPLE LIKE HIM...
THEY HAVE TO BRAG
ABOUT WHAT THEY DID.
CALL ME IF YOU FIND
ANYTHING OUT.
OK.
McBRIDE.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
I KNOW YOU MET WITH LOBELL.
ARE YOU INTERESTED?
HE HAS A SISTER.
I KNOW. I'VE SEEN HER.
SHE'S VERY ATTRACTIVE,
AND SHE'S TOO YOUNG FOR YOU.
NO, SHE'S NOT.
I'M JUST TOO OLD FOR HER.
HUH.
ARE YOU TAKING THE CASE?
TOLD HER I'D LOOK INTO IT.
AND?
I DON'T KNOW.
JUAN TOLD ME THE SAME THING
HE TOLD YOU.
THAT HE FOUND THE WATCH
ON THE STREET IN BRENTWOOD.
AT LEAST HIS STORY
IS CONSISTENT.
HUH.
DON'T TELL ME.
PLEASE, LET ME GUESS.
YOU THINK IT'S POSSIBLE
THAT FRANKS' KILLER
TOOK THE WALLET AND THE WATCH,
AND THEN DECIDED TO TOSS THEM AWAY
TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A ROBBERY,
AND THAT THE KID CAME UP THE
WRONG STREET AT THE WRONG TIME.
ROBERTA, BRILLIANT DEDUCTION,
ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME AS MINE.
FORENSICS IS COMING UP
IN ABOUT AN HOUR.
YOU WANNA HANG OUT?
SURE.
JUAN LOBELL
RUN WITH YOU GUYS?
NO. JUAN
DOESN'T RUN WITH US.
HE DOESN'T RUN WITH ANYBODY.
ONLY RUNNING HE DOES
IS WITH MOTORCYCLES.
HE'S A GOOD GUY.
CHECK OUT MARCO'S GARAGE
ON SEQUOIA.
COOL.
THANK YOU, FELLAS.
THANK YOU, DOCTOR.
MAC.
FORENSICS FOUND GRAYSON FRANKS'
BLOOD ON JUAN LOBELL'S SHIRT.
WHAT? MAY I?
SORRY, MAC.
NOW, COME ON. THIS
SAYS A TRACE OF BLOOD.
IF JUAN WERE THE KILLER WE'D BE
DEALING WITH MORE THAN A TRACE.
YOU SAW FRANKS' BODY.
THE KILLER'S GONNA
BE COVERED IN HIS BLOOD.
BUT THIS TIES JUAN LOBELL
TO THE CRIME SCENE,
AND YOU KNOW THE D.A.'S GONNA
HAVE A FIELD DAY WITH THIS.
MAC, YOU'VE GOT YOUR HANDS FULL.
YEAH, WELL.
THEY'VE BEEN FULL BEFORE.
JUAN WOULDN'T DO
ANYTHING STUPID LIKE THAT.
BESIDES, HIS SISTER WOULD
KILL HIM IF HE STOLE ANYTHING.
YOU AND JUAN ARE
PRETTY GOOD FRIENDS, RIGHT?
YEAH.
HE'S GOOD WITH MOTORCYCLES?
ALMOST AS GOOD AS ME.
LOOK, JUAN TOOK A BIKE OUFOR A TEST DRIVE,
CAME BACK HERE,
THEN WENT HOME THAT NIGHT.
THAT'S ALL I KNOW.
HE'S A GOOD GUY.
ASK ANYBODY.
I WILL.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW THE
MAN YOU'RE ACCUSED OF KILLING?
EXTREMELY WELL-RESPECTED LAWYER.
THE D.A.'S OFFICE IS GONNA
WANT TO CLOSE THIS QUICK,
BRING SOMEBODY TO JUSTICE.
RIGHT NOW, THAT'S YOU.
MARIE SAID HE WAS
A FRIEND OF YOURS.
THAT TRUE?
YES, HE WAS.
THEN WHY ARE YOU HELPING ME?
BECAUSE I DON'T THINK
YOU'RE A COLD-BLOODED KILLER.
THEY CAN'T EVEN
PROVE I WAS THERE.
THEY FOUND GRAYSON FRANKS'
BLOOD ON YOUR SHIRT.
ANY IDEA HOW IT GOT THERE?
THE WATCH WAS DIRTY.
I GUESS I COULD HAVE WIPED ION MY SHIRT OR SOMETHING.
YEAH, WELL, THE D.A.
WOULD MAKE A MOCKERY OF THAT EXPLANATION.
HE WOULD SAY THATHE BLOOD ON YOUR SHIRPUT YOU AT THE CRIME SCENE.
THE WATCH IN YOUR POSSESSION
GIVES YOU MOTIVE.
THAT YOU TRIED TO ROB HIM.
IT WENT VERY, VERY BAD,
AND YOU MURDERED HIM.
THIS ISN'T HAPPENING.
NEED YOU TO CONCENTRATE.
THAT NIGHT, DID...
ANYBODY SEE YOU?
DID YOU STOP ANYWHERE,
TALK TO ANYONE?
NO. I JUSRODE THE MOTORCYCLE.
OK. WE'LL JUST HAVE
TO WORK WITH WHAT WE HAVE.
NICE BIKE.
IT'S A TRIUMPH.
SWEET RIDE.
INTERESTED?
NO. NO, NOT REALLY.
I COULD DO YOU A DEAL.
SHE'S A REAL HOTTIE.
ACTUALLY, ARE YOU BERNIE?
YEAH.
I WANTED TO TALK
TO YOU ABOUT JUAN LOBELL.
I'M ONE OF HIS ATTORNEYS.
YOU KNOW HIM, DON'T YOU?
YEAH, I KNOW HIM.
WHAT CAN YOU
TELL ME ABOUT HIM?
WHAT KIND OF KID IS HE?
HE'S A LITTLE ARROGANT,
LITTLE HEAD-STRONG,
BUT MOST OF THEM
ARE THESE DAYS.
LOOK, JUAN EATS, BREATHES,
AND LIVES MOTORCYCLES.
YOU KNOW ANY OF HIS FRIENDS?
A FEW. THEY'RE MOSTLY
OTHER BIKERS LIKE MARCO WHO...
DROOLS OVER THAT TRIUMPH.
MARCO'S THE GUY
HE WORKS WITH, RIGHT?
YEAH. YEAH, THEY DO GOOD WORK
TOGETHER, TUNING AND REPAIRING.
LOOK, I ALWAYS THOUGHT JUAN WAS
AN OK KID BEFORE THIS HAPPENED.
I TRUSTED HIM.
I EVEN LET HIM MAKE
DELIVERIES ONCE IN A WHILE.
SHOWS HOW WRONG YOU CAN BE.
WELL, I'M HOPING TO
PROVE THAT YOU'RE NOT WRONG.
YOU THINK HE'S GOT A CHANCE?
I WOULDN'T BE HERE
IF I DIDN'T.
SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I THINK JUAN WAS IN THE
WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME.
IF I'D HAVE SEEN A ROLEX LYING
ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD,
I'D HAVE PICKED IT UP, TOO.
YES, BUT YOU'D HAVE
TURNED IT INTO THE POLICE
TO TRY TO FIND ITS OWNER.
YEAH. MAYBE.
NOT SURE WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE
WHEN I WAS 18 YEARS OLD, THOUGH.
SO, YOU FOUND NO PRINTS
AT THE CRIME SCENE.
NO, BUT THE KID WAS
PROBABLY WEARING GLOVES.
NO TRACKS
FROM THE MOTORCYCLE?
NO, BUT HE COULD HAVE
PARKED THE BIKE DOWN THE STREEOR OUT OF THE WAY.
SO, HE JUST PICKED
A BIG HOUSE AND HOPED THAWHEN THE OWNER CAME HOME, HE'D
BE WEARING EXPENSIVE JEWELRY?
WHERE ARE YOU
GOING WITH THIS?
GRAYSON FRANKS
WAS STABBED 16 TIMES.
ACCORDING TO THE M.E. REPORT,
HALF THOSE WOUNDS
WERE POST MORTEM.
THAT DOESN'T SAY ROBBERY.
IT SAYS PSYCHOTIC FRENZY.
THAT DOESN'T FIT JUAN LOBELL.
SO, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
BRING IN A SHRINK TO TESTIFY?
NO. I'M GONNA BRING
IN GRAYSON FRANKS' KILLER.
SEE YOU LATER.
MAC?
LET ME KNOW IF I CAN HELP.
SURE.
ALL RIGHT,
LET'S THINK ABOUT THIS.
THINK ABOUT WHAT?
16 STAB WOUNDS.
HALF OF THEM POST MORTEM.
WHAT DOES THAT SAY TO YOU?
I DON'T KNOW. ANGER?
ANGER. YEAH.
THAT'S GOOD.
HOLD ON TO THAT.
IF YOU WERE TO ROB SOMEBODY,
HOW WOULD YOU DO IT?
WITH NO PREVIOUS
EXPERIENCE, I--
HIT 'EM. ONCE.
KNOCK 'EM DOWN.
TAKE THE WATCH. GO.
ANYBODY WHO STABS THEIR
VICTIMS REPEATEDLY LIKE THAT,
IS NOT UPSEABOUT A ROBBERY GONE WRONG.
WE GOTTA FIND OUT WHO ELSE
WANTED GRAYSON FRANKS DEAD.
TOMORROW, I WANT YOU TO STARGATHERING INFORMATION ON THE FAMILY,
CLOSE ASSOCIATES.
SHOULDN'T YOU DO THAT?
YOU-- YOU KNOW THE WHOLE FAMILY.
MAYBE NOT WELL ENOUGH.
EVERY FAMILY HAS SECRETS.
OK. I'LL
CHECK OUT THE FAMILY.
MR. NEWBERRY, ISN'T IT?
YES.
YOU'RE EARLY.
WELL-- WELL, IT'S
A THING WITH ME.
I'M IN THE MIDDLE
OF PACKING UP
SOME OF MR. FRANKS'
PERSONAL THINGS.
WE CAN TALK WHILE I WORK.
SURE. THAT'S FINE.
SO, TO WHAT DO
I OWE THIS VISIT?
I'M-- I'M HOPING
TO UNDERSTAND
GRAYSON FRANKS' STATE OF MIND
ON THE DAY THAT HE DIED.
AND YOU THINK I
CAN HELP YOU DO THAT?
YOU WERE WITH HIM
A LONG TIME.
6 YEARS.
SO, YOU KNEW
MR. FRANKS WELL THEN?
DID HE HAVE ANY ENEMIES?
NOT ANYONE
THAT I CAN THINK OF.
HOW 'BOUHIS BEHAVIOR RECENTLY?
DID HE SEEM WORRIED,
SCARED, DISTRACTED?
OTHER THAN THE TYPICAL
MALE MIDLIFE CRISIS? NO.
MIDLIFE CRISIS?
YOU KNOW, DRESSING YOUNGER,
BUYING HIMSELF
THAT FANCY SPORTS CAR.
THE SILLY THING IS WOMEN DON'CARE MUCH ABOUT A MAN'S AGE
UNTIL THEY MAKE AN ISSUE OUOF IT BY OVERCOMPENSATING.
LAST TIME I WAS HERE,
GRAYSON WAS STILL ALIVE.
AMAZING, ISN'T IT?
THE INFLUENCE THAONE HUMAN BEING CAN HAVE?
ESPECIALLY HIM.
YEAH.
I'LL MISS HIM.
ME, TOO.
MAC.
HEY.
I'M SO GLAD YOU CAME.
TRACY.
HOW YOU HOLDING UP?
TODAY'S NOT MY BEST DAY.
MAC?
DEAN.
APPRECIATE THE KIND WORDS
AT THE CHURCH,
BUT PERHAPS YOU'LL TELL ME
WHAT PROMPTED YOU
TO DEFEND DAD'S KILLER?
DEAN!
DEAN, YOUR FATHER
WAS MY FRIEND.
I JUST WANTO MAKE SURE THAJUSTICE IS SERVED TO THE
PERSON WHO REALLY DESERVES IT.
YOU HAVE DOUBTS
ABOUT THE FELLOW IN CUSTODY?
I THINK THERE ARE QUESTIONS
THAT HAVE TO BE ASKED.
AND I-- FORGIVE ME--
I BELIEVE THERE ARE QUESTIONS
YOUR FATHER WOULD HAVE ASKED.
MAYBE SO.
I'M SO SORRY.
I THINK HE'S NOT DOING
AS WELL AS HE SEEMS.
IT'S TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE.
YES.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU KEPTHAT PHOTO OF OUR FISHING TRIP.
WELL, YOU WERE
VERY SPECIAL TO HIM.
NO, HE WAS VERY PROUD OF YOU
WHEN YOU BECAME A LAWYER.
TRACY, I'M JUST-- I'M TRYING
TO GET A FULL PICTURE OF--
OF EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED
THE DAY THAT GRAYSON DIED.
WHEN DID YOU EXPECT HIM HOME?
NORMALLY AROUND 7:00,
ACCORDING TO TRAFFIC,
BUT IT WAS A TUESDAY,
AND ON TUESDAYS,
HE SAW GAIL.
WHO'S GAIL?
GAIL STANTON,
HIS CHIROPRACTOR.
HE HURT HIS BACK
ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, SKIING,
WORE A BACK BRACE--
I DID NOT KNOW THAT.
WELL, NO ONE DID.
HE DIDN'T WANT ANYONE TO.
PROBABLY HIS WORST FLAW
WAS HIS VANITY.
HAVING A BAD BACK WAS LIKE
ADMITTING HE WAS GROWING OLD.
I'M TRULY SORRY.
DON'T TELL ME ANYMORE.
LET ME TAKE A STAB AT IT.
ANOTHER WOMAN?
YOUNGER WOMAN,
IF I HAD TO GUESS.
HE BUYS A BRAND NEW SPORTS CAR,
ONE THAT MUST HAVE BEEN
VERY PAINFUL FOR HIM
TO GET IN AND OUT OF
WITH HIS BAD BACK.
AND YET, THIS REPORT SAYS HE WASN'WEARING HIS BACK BRACE THAT DAY.
SO?
SO, NOTICE HOW UN-SEXY A BACK
BRACE WOULD MAKE A MAN LOOK,
ESPECIALLY, IF HE WAS TRYING
TO IMPRESS A YOUNGER WOMAN?
YOU'RE SAYING
HE LEFT IT OFF THAT DAY
BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE
SEEN LOOKING INFIRM OR OLD?
BUT WOULDN'T THE BRACE HAVE
BEEN HIDDEN UNDER HIS SHIRT?
YES.
UNLESS HE WAS GOING
TO MEET SOMEONE
WHO WAS GOING TO SEE HIM
WITH HIS CLOTHES OFF.
SO YOUR NEW THEORY
IS A JEALOUS LOVER?
OR THE JEALOUS HUSBAND
OF A LOVER?
I DON'T THINK WE CAN RULE
OUT ENRAGED WIFE, EITHER.
NO.
THINK THIS COULD JUSBOIL DOWN TO JEALOUS RAGE?
THE MAN WAS STABBED 16 TIMES.
I KNOW THAT BUT...
YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE RIGHT,
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE DOING
HIS FAMILY ANY FAVORS
BY AIRING HIS DIRTY LAUNDRY.
I KNOW.
AND IF I DON'T, WHAT?
JUAN LOBELL GOES DOWN
FOR SOMETHING HE DIDN'T DO?
I'M GONNA GO BACK OVER
AND TALK TO TRACY.
UM, WHY DON'T YOU CALL MARIE?
SEE IF SHE HAS ANYTHING
SHE CAN ADD.
OK.
COULD USE ALL THE HELP
ON THIS ONE
WE CAN GET, YOU KNOW.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
SPEAKING OF MARIE...
WHEN WE FIRST MET HER,
SHE SAID THAT WHEN YOU WERE A KID,
YOU HAD DIFFERENT ASPIRATIONS.
WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE
WHEN YOU GREW UP?
I DON'T-- I DON'T KNOW.
I-- DON'T REMEMBER.
SEE YOU LATER.
THANK YOU, MARIA.
HOW WERE THINGS
BETWEEN YOU AND GRAYSON?
THINGS WERE AS THEY HAD ALWAYS
BEEN BETWEEN ME AND GRAYSON.
ALL RIGHT, WELL...
I HATE ASKING THE NEXT QUESTION.
THEN DON'T.
BUT IT...
IT'S GONNA COME UP
SOONER OR LATER.
I WAS AT BANLEY'S BOUTIQUE.
THEY HAD A FASHION SHOW.
THANK YOU, TRACY.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
HEY, HONEY.
HI.
HEY, DEAN.
MAC? ANY NEWS?
ACTUALLY, HE WAS
ASKING ME WHERE I WAS
THE NIGHT YOUR DAD WAS KILLED.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING.
I SUPPOSE YOU'RE GOING
TO ASK ME, TOO.
YES, AND ANYONE ELSE
WHO WAS CLOSE TO YOUR FATHER.
I WAS AT THE FAMILY PLACE
AT LAKE ARROWHEAD.
NO ONE'S USED IT MUCH
IN THE LAST FEW YEARS,
SO DAD DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO
PUT THE OLD PLACE ON THE MARKET.
SO, I SPENT SOME IN THE MORNING
WITH A REAL ESTATE AGENGOING THROUGH
THE MULTIPLE LISTINGS,
LOOKING AT RECENT SALES
IN THE AREA.
I WAS REMINISCING OVER
THE FUN TIMES WE HAD THERE.
I LEFT AT 7:00...
AND GOT BACK WELL AFTER...
IT HAPPENED.
THANK YOU, DEAN.
BELIEVE ME, I KNOW HOW, UM...
HOW VERY TOUGH THIS IS
ON BOTH OF YOU.
HE CAME TO WORK.
LEFT AT 4:30 TO SEE HIS CHIROPRACTOR.
YES.
IS THAT THE SUIHE WORE TO WORK THAT DAY?
YES.
SO, HE CHANGED HIS CLOTHES?
INTO SOMETHING MORE CASUAL.
NOTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT THAT.
HE ALWAYS DID,
UNLESS HE WAS MEETING A CLIENT.
THIS IS GRAYSON'S BACK BRACE.
YES.
ANY IDEA
WHAT IT'S DOING HERE?
I THOUGHT HE HAD
TO WEAR IT ALL THE TIME
BECAUSE OF HIS SKIING ACCIDENT.
I GUESS
HE DIDN'T WEAR IT.
MRS. FRANKS SAID HIS
CHIROPRACTOR'S NAME IS GAIL STANTON.
DO YOU HAVE HER NUMBER?
SURE.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
HOW MANY YEARS IT'S BEEN
SINCE WE'VE
SEEN EACH OTHER.
TOO MANY.
OOH! I'M JUST SORRY IT HAD TO
BE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.
LISTEN,
I WANTED YOU TO KNOW
THAT MAC AND I ARE GIVING
THIS CASE OUR FULL ATTENTION.
I JUSWANTED YOU TO KNOW
THAT I MEWITH JUAN'S FRIEND MARCO?
AND IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT YOU
CAN THINK OF THAT I SHOULD TALK TO?
TALK TO ANYONE, THEY'LL TELL
YOU JUAN'S A GOOD KID.
WE LIVE IN A BAD
NEIGHBORHOOD,
BUT I'VE SPENEVERY DAY OF JUAN'S LIFE
TRYING TO KEEP HIM OUT OF
THIS KIND OF TROUBLE.
DID YOU SEE JUAN
THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER?
YES, HE WAS WORKING
AT THE SHOP THAT DAY.
HE WAS HOME
BEFORE I WENT TO BED.
ABOUT WHAT TIME
WAS THAT?
A LITTLE AFTER 10:00,
I THINK.
DID HE TELL YOU
ABOUT THE WATCH?
DID HE SEEM UPSEABOUT ANYTHING?
HE NEVER TOLD ME
ABOUT THE WATCH.
HE WAS
A LITTLE STRANGE.
HE DIDN'DO IT, PHIL.
YOU HAVE TO HELP HIM.
WE'RE DOING
EVERYTHING WE CAN.
WOULD YOU BE
MR. McBRIDE?
JUST AS IT SAYS ON THE
DOOR.
DR. STANTON,
I PRESUME?
I DO APPRECIATE YOU FITTING ME
IN.
I DON'T KNOW
MANY CHIROPRACTORS
WHO MAKE
HOUSE CALLS.
WELL, MANY OF MY
CLIENTS ARE VERY BUSY PEOPLE.
THEY HAVE LITTLE SPARE TIME
AND THEY DON'WANT TO WASTE IDRIVING BACK AND FORTH
TO MY OFFICE.
NOR SHOULD THEY HAVE TO.
WHERE WOULD YOU
LIKE ME TO SET UP?
UM, YES. WELL...
I'M SORRY, BUI BROUGHT YOU HERE
UNDER
FALSE PRETENSES.
I DON'T KNOW WHAYOU THINK, MR. McBRIDE,
BUT I'M A CHIROPRACTOR,
NOT SOME BACK ROOM MASSEUSE.
NO!
LORD, NO. NOTHING LIKE THAT.
I DON'T...
I JUST WANTED
TO TALK TO YOU...
ABOUT GRAYSON FRANKS?
WHY WOULD I TELL YOU
ANYTHING ABOUT GRAYSON?
GRAYSON WAS A VERY CLOSE
FRIEND OF MINE
AND I JUSWANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE PERSON
RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS MURDER
IS BROUGHTO JUSTICE.
WELL, YOU COULD HAVE
TOLD ME THABEFORE I LUGGED THIS
ALL THE WAY FROM THE CAR.
YES, YOU'RE RIGHT. I'M
SORRY.
MAY I? I JUST THOUGHWE COULD...
TALK HERE
MORE PRIVATELY.
WOW! YOU'RE STRONG.
UM, WOULD YOU LIKE A-- SOME
COFFEE?
SURE.
I TAKE IT BLACK.
OK.
IF YOU WOULD SIT THERE,
PLEASE.
GRAYSON WAS A GOOD MAN
WHO WAS IN A LOT OF PAIN
FROM TIME TO TIME.
I JUST CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER
IF HE'D STILL BE ALIVE
IF HE DIDN'T CUT SHORT OUR
SESSION THAT DAY.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
WHAT TIME
DID HE LEAVE YOU
ON THE DAY THAT HE WAS
MURDERED?
HE ARRIVED AT ABOUT 5:00
AND WAS GONE BY 5:30.
WIDENS THE GAP.
WHAT GAP?
THE TIME BETWEEN 5:30, WHEN
GRAYSON LEFT YOU
AND 8:15
WHEN HE WAS KILLED.
DR. STANTON, WAS YOUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH GRAYSON
STRICTLY PROFESSIONAL?
I BEG YOUR PARDON?
SORRY FOR BEING
SO BLUNT.
BUT...
WHAT I HAVE RECENTLY LEARNED
ABOUT GRAYSON'S PERSONAL BEHAVIOR,
AND THE MYSTERY OF THE
TIMELINE OF HIS WHEREABOUTS
FROM WHEN HE LEFT YOU TO THE
TIME HE WAS KILLED,
CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE LEFTIME FOR A, UM--
A TRYST?
WOULDN'T HAPPEN
TO BE YOU, WOULD IT?
IT HAD BEEN.
BUT IT ENDED
OVER A YEAR AGO.
WHO ENDED IT?
GRAYSON.
HE SAID THAT IT WAS
BECAUSE OF HIS WIFE.
HE TOLD ME HE COULDN'T LIVE
WITH THE GUILT ANYMORE.
YOU BELIEVED HIM?
NOT FOR A MINUTE.
SO, YOU THINK HE STOPPED
SEEING YOU
FOR ANOTHER
ANOTHER WOMAN?
ABSOLUTELY.
HE WOULDN'T ADMIT IT,
BUT I KNEW.
ANY IDEA WHO SHE WAS?
NOPE.
WEREN'T YOU ANGRY AT ALL THAHE LEFT YOU FOR SOMEONE ELSE?
NOT AT ALL.
I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS
GETTING INTO FROM THE START.
HE WAS
AN EXCITING LOVER
AND HE ENDED UP BECOMING
A REALLY GOOD FRIEND.
AND I STAYED ON
AS HIS DOCTOR.
ANY IDEA WHERE HE MAY
HAVE GONE WITH HIS, UM...
NEW GIRLFRIEND?
WELL, SOMETIMES
HE'D TAKE ME
TO THE COMPANY APARTMENIN THE MARINA.
THROW OUT THAT LINE!
FANCY MEETING YOU HERE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I WAS JUST ABOUTO ASK YOU THE SAME THING.
THIS IS
A COMPANY APARTMENT.
SO, IF I MENTION
THIS PLACE TO TRACY FRANKS,
SHE WOULD KNOW ABOUT IT?
NO, SHE WOULDN'T.
RIGHT.
THAT'S BECAUSE GRAYSON USED IFOR, UM...
SHALL WE SAY,
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES?
HOW DID YOU KNOW?
LEARNING A LOABOUT MY OLD FRIEND.
WAS IT YOU?
WAS WHAT ME?
THE EXTRACURRICULAR
ACTIVITY.
NO.
SO...
YOU'RE, UM, CLOSING THE
PLACE UP?
THERE'S NO REASON FOR HIS WIFE
TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE APARTMENT.
GRAYSON'S DEAD, AND I'D
LIKE TO PRESERVE HIS MEMORY
AS THE WONDERFUL MAN
THAT HE WAS.
I, TOO, WOULD RATHER GRAYSON
BE REMEMBERED
FOR ALL OF THE POSITIVE
THINGS HE DID TO HELP PEOPLE.
THANK YOU.
BUT...
YOU'VE GOTTA BE
COMPLETELY HONEST WITH ME.
WHAT DO YOU
WANT TO KNOW?
WHO HIS MOST RECENT MISTRESS
WAS.
HOW LONG HAD IBEEN GOING ON?
I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE,
BUT I HAD SUSPICIONS
ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO.
IN THE OFFICE.
I WAS LOOKING THROUGH SOME
INVOICES TO GIVE TO DEAN
WHEN I CAME ACROSS
A DELIVERY RECEIPFOR A RED DRESS
FROM BANLEY BOUTIQUE.
AND IT WASN'T FOR TRACY?
I DO ALL OF GRAYSON'S
GIFT-BUYING FOR TRACY.
COULDN'T HAVE BEEN
A SPECIAL PURCHASE
THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT?
IF IT WAS FOR TRACY,
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DELIVERED TO
THE HOUSE.
AND WHERE WAS
THE DRESS DELIVERED?
HERE.
HE MUST HAVE BOUGHT THIS FOR
SOMEBODY VERY SPECIAL.
IS IT SO IMPORTANTO KNOW WHO SHE IS?
IT'S OVER.
GRAYSON'S DEAD.
THIS WOMAN COULD HOLD THE
KEY
TO WHO KILLED GRAYSON,
KATHY.
Man, yelling: HONEY! COME
ON!
THEY'RE VERY TOUGH
ON PARKING AROUND HERE
UNLESS YOU HAVE
A RESIDENT'S PERMIT.
THAT'S WHY I'M PARKED AROUND THE
BLOCK.
GREAT.
HEY, PHIL.
ALL RIGHT. SO,
I'VE GOT A, TASK
THAT NEEDS
A WOMAN'S TOUCH.
I'M NOT AN EXPERON DRESSES.
OK, WELL, JUST LEAVE
EVERYTHING TO ME.
OK.
MAY I HELP YOU?
I HOPE SO.
I'M LOOKING
FOR A RED DRESS
AND I'M SURE I SAW ONE
IN HERE A WEEK OR SO AGO.
I THINK I KNOW JUST THE ONE
YOU MEAN.
IT'S A DeCOURS.
HE'S VERY EXCLUSIVE.
IN FACT, THIS IS
A LIMITED EDITION.
WE ONLY HAD 3,
AND THIS IS
THE LAST ONE.
IT WOULD LOOK
BEAUTIFUL ON YOU.
THE PERFECT COMPLIMENT TO
THE PERFECT ROMANTIC EVENING.
HA HA.
I'D HATE TO RUN
INTO SOMEONE I KNOW WEARING IT.
YOU SAID YOU SOLD THE OTHER
2?
TO WHOM? I MEAN,
IT WOULD BE VERY EMBARRASSING
IF IT TURNED OUT TO BE
FRIENDS OF MINE.
I'M SORRY. THAT WOULD BE
PRIVATE INFORMATION.
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL,
BUT I WOULD DIE IF I RAN INTO
A FRIEND OF OURS WEARING IT.
LET'S GO.
BUT JUST BETWEEN US, OK?
ONE WAS SOLD
TO GRAYSON FRANKS,
AND THE OTHER
TO TRACY FRANKS.
I-- I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR
PREOCCUPATION WITH THIS DRESS.
REALLY, IS ITHAT IMPORTANT?
WELL, IT COULD BE.
MAYBE.
SO, YOU BOUGHTHE DRESS FOR YOURSELF?
YES. YES, I SAW IIN A WINDOW.
I WENT BACK TO GET IT.
END OF STORY.
DID YOU PAY CASH?
I USED MY PERSONAL
CREDIT CARD.
IT WAS A SURPRISE
FOR GRAYSON.
HE LOVES RED.
WE WERE GOING TO HAVE
A SPECIAL DINNER.
I WAS GOING TO WEAR IT.
AND HE NEVER SAW IT.
HI, MR. McBRIDE.
HI.
TRACY, I THINK IT'S
ABOUT TIME
WE LEFFOR THE LAWYERS'.
DEAN WILL
MEET US THERE.
LAWYERS?
READING THE WILL.
IT'S-- IT'S
JUST A FORMALITY.
HE LEFT EVERYTHING TO ME.
MAC...
UM...
I JUST-- I WANTED TO ASK YOU
IF YOU COULD HELP ME.
NO, I MEAN, GRAYSON TOOK
CARE OF EVERYTHING LEGALLY,
BUT I DON'HAVE ANYONE I TRUST.
I-- I WOULD-- I WOULD REALLY
LIKE YOU TO-- TO HELP ME--
UM, RIGHT NOW,
THAT WOULD BE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST,
CONSIDERING I'M REPRESENTING THE
MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING HIM.
I UNDERSTAND THAT.
AFTER THE TRIAL?
YES, PLEASE.
WE COULD HAVE LUNCH
AND DISCUSS THINGS.
SURE.
OK.
THANK YOU.
DETECTIVE HANSEN.
HEY, ROBERTA.
HEY. ANY SUSPECTS YET?
SEVERAL.
WHAT DO YOU NEED?
AM I
THAT TRANSPARENT?
YES. I KNOW YOU, MAC.
NO HIDDEN AGENDA.
WELL, GOOD.
UM, DO ME A FAVOR
AND RUN A TRACE
ON ANY PARKING TICKETS GIVEN FOR
THE 16000 BLOCK
OF UNION JACK MALL
IN MARINA DEL REY
OVER, SAY,
THE LAST MONTH.
YOU KNOW, AND JUST DO
NON-MOVING VIOLATIONS.
LET ME KNOW
WHEN YOU GET SOMETHING.
OK, MAC.
BYE.
BYE.
YOU DON'T BUY A WOMAN
A BRAND NEW DRESS
JUST TO RIP IT OFF
OF HER, DO YOU?
YOU BUY IT TO TAKE HER OUSOMEWHERE FIRST.
EXCUSE ME?
YOU KEPT A RECORD OF ALL OF
GRAYSON'S RESTAURANT CHARGES, YES?
YES, OF COURSE.
AND DID HE KEEP
A PERSONAL DAYPLANNER?
YES.
BUT I THOUGHWE WERE DONE HERE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAHAS TO DO WITH ANYTHING.
PLENTY, MAYBE.
I DON'T KNOW.
MAY I SEE IT?
THANK YOU.
NOW, WHAT I
WOULD LIKE TO DO
IS CROSS REFERENCE ANY ENTRIES
HE MAY HAVE MADE IN HERE
WITH RECORDS YOU HAVE
IN YOUR COMPUTER.
OK.
THANKS.
FIRST, WE HAVE THE EIGHTH.
THE GARDEN ROOM.
SHAFER AND SHAFER, CLIENTS.
12th AND THE 14th, FUJIYAMA'S.
CLIENTS.
23rd, DONATELLO'S.
TRACY,
DEAN, ROCHELLE.
IT WAS
FOR ROCHELLE'S BIRTHDAY.
ALSO ON THE 23rd, THE 1910.
I DON'T HAVE
AN ENTRY FOR THAT.
THE 1910. I DON'KNOW THAT. WHAT IS IT?
A RESTAURANON WAVERLY.
IT'S ABOUT 10 MINUTES FROM
GRAYSON'S CONDO.
IT'S VERY DISCREET.
YOU CAN RESERVE
A PRIVATE DINING ROOM.
REALLY?
MAY I USE YOUR PHONE?
HEY, PHIL.
HAVE YOU HAD LUNCH YET?
YOU WANT TO TAKE
LINE 4, DETECTIVE?
DETECTIVE HANSEN.
WHAT?
WHEN DID IT COME IN?
GET A WARRANT.
THEY'RE GONNA CONVICT ME
I KNOW IT.
I'M GONNA DO MY BEST,
ALL RIGHT?
TO MAKE SURE
THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
ALL RIGHT,
I KNOW THIS IS BORING,
BUT I WANT TO GO OVER IONE MORE TIME.
WHERE DID YOU GO
AFTER YOU TOOK
THE MOTORCYCLE
OUT FOR A RIDE?
I WENT HOME.
ASK MY SISTER. SHE SAYS SHE
CAN'T SLEEP
TILL SHE KNOWS I'M SAFE IN THE
HOUSE.
SO YOU RODE
THE BIKE HOME?
NO.
IT'S
THE CUSTOMER'S BIKE.
I MEAN, I SHOULDN'T HAVE
EVEN HAD IT OUT THAT LONG.
ACTUALLY, I RODE IT BACK TO THE
GARAGE.
SO, YOU WERE
IN THE GARAGE ALONE?
NO. MARCO WAS WAITING FOR
ME TO BRING THE BIKE BACK.
HEY, MAN.
HOW'D IT GO, HUH?
THE BIKE, BRO.
THE BIKE.
WE TUNE HER GOOD?
AW, YEAH, MARCO.
REAL SMOOTH.
LOOK, I GOTTA GO.
MY SISTER'S GONNA BE ON MY CASE
IF I'M NOT IN BY 10:00.
COOL.
ALL RIGHT, MAN.
I'LL LOCK UP.
I KNOW HOW PEOPLE LOOK AME, MR. McBRIDE.
IT'S LIKE, NO MATTER WHAT I SAY
OR DO,
THIS JURY'S STILL
GOING TO LOOK AT ME
LIKE I'M SOME PUNK
IN A GANG.
BUT I WOULD NEVER,
EVER KILL SOMEONE.
LEAST OF ALL,
OVER SOME WATCH.
AND THAT IS WHAI'M GOING TO PROVE.
OK?
I HOPE SO, SIR.
OK.
MORE DETAILS.
MARCO.
REMEMBER ME?
DETECTIVE HANSEN?
SURE. WHAT'S UP?
I'VE GOT A WARRANTO SEARCH
JUAN LOBELL'S TOOL CHEST.
WHAT FOR?
JUST SHOW ME
THE TOOL CHEST.
IT'S RIGHT HERE
NEXT TO THE WALL.
YOU GOT A KEY FOR THIS?
NO, JUAN HAS
THE ONLY ONE.
YOU WANT ME
TO BREAK IT FOR YOU?
NO, WE'LL HANDLE THAT. GO
AHEAD, SEAN.
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE
GOING TO FIND IN THERE?
JUST TOOLS, I HOPE.
THERE YOU GO.
HEY, PHIL.
HEY, MAC.
ANYTHING INTERESTING?
WELL, THE MAITRE D'
AT THE 1910 CONFIRMED
THAT GRAYSON FRANKS DID INDEED
HAVE DINNER THERE ON THE 23rd
AND HE WAS WITH A WOMAN.
COULD HE DESCRIBE
HER?
SHE WAS WEARING A RED
DRESS, UM, DARK GLASSES,
AND A RED HEAD SCARF.
HE COULDN'T EVEN REALLY SEE
THE COLOR OF HER HAIR.
YOU THINK THAT'S
THE DRESS FROM BANLEY'S?
HAS TO BE.
I'M BEGINNING TO THINK THIS
WOMAN IS A PHANTOM.
SO--
WE'LL FINISH THIS LATER.
I'VE GOT ROBERTA
ON THE OTHER LINE.
HI, ROBERTA.
MAC.
YOU'D BETTER GEOVER HERE RIGHT AWAY.
WE NEED TO TALK
IN PERSON.
OK. FINE. I'LL
BE RIGHT DOWN.
AN EXACT MATCH TO GRAYSON
FRANKS' WOUNDS
AND IT'S GOHIS BLOOD ON IT.
DEFINITELY
THE MURDER WEAPON.
YOU FOUND THIS
IN JUAN'S TOOLBOX?
AFRAID SO.
ANY PRINTS?
NOPE.
WIPED CLEAN.
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN
THE D.A. WHEN HE FOUND OUT.
LOOKED LIKE HE'D JUSSCORED THE WINNING TOUCHDOWN.
HOW DID YOU KNOW WHERE TO
LOOK?
WE GOT A TIP.
FROM WHO?
AN ANONYMOUS CALLER.
THAT'S CONVENIENT.
AN ANONYMOUS CALLER TELLS
YOU THAT THE MURDER WEAPON
IS IN MY
CLIENT'S TOOLBOX.
I DON'T KNOW, MAC.
MAYBE JUAN LOBELL
WAS FOOLISH ENOUGH
TO BRAG ABOUWHAT HE'D DONE
TO ONE OF HIS
FELLOW GANG MEMBERS.
JUAN DOESN'BELONG TO A GANG.
THAT DOESN'T MATTER, MAC.
THE D.A. IS GONNA
TELL THE JURY
THAT NOT ONLY
WAS JUAN LOBELL CAUGHTRYING TO PAWN
THE VICTIM'S WATCH,
BUT THATHE MURDER WEAPON
WAS FOUND
AMONG HIS BELONGINGS.
AND DON'T FORGET FRANKS'
BLOOD ON LOBELL'S SHIRT.
THAT WAS ON THE WATCH.
HE THOUGHT IT WAS DIRTY.
HE WIPED IT OFF
ON HIS SHIRT.
PLEASE.
GOOD LUCK GETTING
THE JURY TO BELIEVE THAT.
WHAT? THEY'RE
SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE
THAT HE DISPOSED
OF THE WALLET,
TRIED TO HOCK THE WATCH,
WIPED THE FINGERPRINTS OFF THE
HANDLE OF THE MURDER WEAPON,
DIDN'T THROW IT AWAY,
DIDN'T EVEN REMOVE
ANY OF THE BLOOD,
AND THEN PUT IIN HIS OWN TOOLBOX?
NO. THAT DOESN'T FLY.
THERE COULDN'T BE
A KNIFE IN MY TOOLBOX.
WHY WOULD I PUA KNIFE IN MY TOOLBOX?
WELL, THAT'S WHERE
THE POLICE FOUND IT,
COVERED
IN GRAYSON FRANKS' BLOOD.
I DON'T KNOW WHO THADEAD GUY IS
OR ANYTHING ABOUT HIM.
WHO'S DOING THIS
TO ME?
YOU TRIED
TO HOCK HIS WATCH.
YOU'RE
THE EASIEST TARGET.
I'M SORRY
I EVER FOUND IT.
LET ME
ASK YOU SOMETHING.
HOW GOOD A FRIEND
IS MARCO?
THE BEST.
WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR
YEARS.
YOU THINK HE PUT THAT KNIFE IN
MY TOOLBOX?
DON'T BE CRAZY.
YOU KNOW, THE POLICE
HAD TO CUT THE LOCK OFF.
DOES MARCO HAVE A KEY?
NO.
WE USE
SEPARATE TOOLBOXES.
WOULDN'T THINK
A LOCK LIKE THAWOULD BE
TOO HARD TO PICK.
WAIT A MINUTE.
A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO,
WE STUMBLED ACROSS THIS GUY WHO
HAD LOST HIS MOTORCYCLE KEY.
MARCO UNLOCKED IIN 15 SECONDS.
I MEAN, HE EVEN STARTED THE BIKE
FOR HIM
SO HE COULD RIDE IT HOME TO HIS
SPARE KEY.
NAH.
MARCO WOULDN'T DO THAT. HE'S MY
BOY.
TELL YOU WHAT.
LET'S MAKE SURE OF THAT.
MARCO.
REMEMBER ME?
JUAN'S LAWYER.
HOW'S HE DOING?
WELL, HE'D BE DOING A LOBETTER
IF HE WEREN'T BEING BLAMED
FOR SOMETHING HE DIDN'T DO.
YOU FOUND THE MURDER WEAPON,
DIDN'T YOU?
NO.
NO, NO, NO.
THE COPS DID.
IT WAS SITTING HERE
THE WHOLE TIME.
I HAD NO IDEA.
THIS IS THE,
TRIUMPH FROM BERNIE'S.
YEAH, YEAH. I BOUGHT IA FEW DAYS AGO.
WOW!
ISN'T IT, LIKE,
20 GRAND FOR THIS THING?
NAH, I BEAT 'EM
DOWN TO 17.
BUSINESS MUST BE GOOD.
I DO OK.
SO, YOU SOLD THE RED
TRIUMPH RECENTLY, RIGHT?
YEAH, I SOLD ITO MARCO 3 DAYS AGO.
DID HE GIVE YOU
A SIZABLE DOWN PAYMENT?
NO DOWN PAYMENT.
HE PAID CASH.
HE PAID CASH
FOR THE WHOLE THING?
DID IT SURPRISE YOU THAT HE
HAD THAT MUCH MONEY ON HIM?
HEY, IF SOMEBODY WAVES
$17,000 UNDER MY NOSE,
I DON'T ASK QUESTIONS.
THANKS.
THERE'S NO WAY
MARCO DELGADO'S
EVER GONNA TELL US WHERE HE
GOT THAT MUCH MONEY.
ESPECIALLY IF
IT WAS A PAYOFF
FOR PLANTING THE KNIFE
IN JUAN'S TOOLBOX.
MARCO AND JUAN
ARE FRIENDS.
SOMETIMES MONEY MAKES
A BETTER FRIEND.
HOW DO WE GEMARCO TO TALK?
WHERE WE LIVE, THERE'S
A STRONG GANG CULTURE.
THEY COVETHEIR TERRITORY
AND KEEP A SHARP EYE
ON WHATEVER GOES ON WITHOUPERMISSION.
I HAVE AN IDEA.
HEY, MARCO.
HOW'S IT GOING?
IT'S OK.
IT'S ONLY GOING OK?
I HEAR
YOU SCORED BIG.
NICE BIKE.
THE ONE BERNIE
HAD FOR SALE.
WHERE'D YOU GETHE MONEY FOR IT?
THAT'S NONE
OF YOUR BUSINESS.
IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD,
EVERYTHING IS MY BUSINESS.
I ASKED BERNIE.
HE SAID
YOU PAID 17 LARGE.
IN CASH.
SO WHAT?
SO, WHERE'D YOU GET THAMUCH MONEY?
YOU GOT SOMETHING GOING IN
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
THAT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT?
SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T THINK
TO SHARE WITH ME?
I DON'T LIKE BEING LEFT OUIN THE COLD, MARCO.
IT MAKES ME LOOK BAD.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I WANT A PERCENTAGE
OF WHAT YOU'RE MAKING.
YOU NUTS?
THAT'S EXTORTION!
CONSIDER IT PROTECTION
SO NO ONE DAMAGES
YOUR NEW--
NO, DON'T! DON'T!
I DID SOMEONE A FAVOR.
FOR 17 LARGE?
MUST'VE BEEN SOME FAVOR!
WHO IS
THIS "SOMEONE"?
MAYBE I COULD DO HIM A
FAVOR, TOO.
I DON'T KNOW.
I DIDN'T MEET ANYONE!
THERE WAS JUST A VOICE
ON THE PHONE.
MAN OR WOMAN?
I DON'T KNOW.
IT WAS DISGUISED.
HOW ABOUWHEN THEY PAID YOU?
IT WAS DROPPED OFF.
A TRASH CAN IN THE PARK.
THEY PUT 17 GRAND
IN A TRASH CAN FOR YOU?
NOW THAT I THINK OF IT, MAYBE
IT'S THE ENGINE THAT'S WRONG.
25! THEY GAVE ME
25 GRAND, ALL RIGHT?
I STILL HAVE 8.
I'LL SPLIT IT WITH YOU.
JUST DON'T HURT THE BIKE.
SPLIT IT?!
YOU HELD OUON ME, MARCO.
I'LL TAKE IT ALL.
CONSIDER IT A LESSON NOT TO HOLD
OUT ON ME AGAIN.
I'LL BE BACK
IN THE MORNING.
TO COLLECT.
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
UNDERSTAND?
YEAH.
GOOD.
THANKS, PUNCH.
FOR YOU, MARIE, ANYTIME.
JUAN'S A GOOD GUY.
CAN YOU STOP
PACING, PLEASE?
YOU'RE MAKING
ME NERVOUS.
THEN HURRY UP.
LOOK AT THIS LIST.
I'M SUPPOSED TO HACK INTO EVERY
SINGLE ONE OF THESE BANK ACCOUNTS?
WELL, HOW ARE WE
GONNA FIND OUWHICH ONE WITHDREW
$25,000 FROM THEIR ACCOUNIN THE LAST COUPLE
OF WEEKS?
COULDN'T WE JUST GO BACK
AND LEAN ON MARCO SOME MORE?
I MEAN, DO YOU KNOW
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO ME
IF I GET CAUGHT HACKING INTO
BANKING SYSTEMS?
YOU KNOW WHAT?
WE'LL TELL 'EM
YOU WERE TRYING TO OPEN
AN ECONOLINE AND GOT LOST.
COME ON. BESIDES,
YOU'RE GOOD ENOUGH NOT TO GET CAUGHT.
AND EVEN IF WE CAN'T USE
WHAT WE FIND IN COURT,
IT COULD VERY WELL
POINT TO GRAYSON'S KILLER.
THIS IS GONNA TAKE
A LOT OF TIME.
TRIAL STARTS MONDAY.
THEN I HAVE TILL SUNDAY NIGHT.
THIS AFTERNOON.
WE'VE GOT TO GET BACK
TO THE GARAGE
AND CONVINCE MARCO
TO TESTIFY
THAT HE WAS PAID TO PUTHE KNIFE IN JUAN'S TOOLBOX.
WELL, YOU'RE QUITE THE
MOTIVATOR.
WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE MARCO
DECIDED TO TAKE A HIKE.
NOW WHAT DO WE DO?
WELL, HE'S RIDING
A RED TRIUMPH.
SHOULDN'T BE
TOO HARD TO FIND.
LOOK. DO ME A FAVOR.
CALL ROBERTA.
ASK HER TO PUT OUT AN A.P.B.
FOR OUR FRIEND MARCO.
I AM GOING
TO GO VISIT TRACY
AND BRACE HER
FOR WHAT'S IN STORE.
WHAT IS IN STORE?
EXPOSING
HER LATE HUSBAND,
SOMEONE I ADMIRED,
AS AN ADULTERER.
ECCH.
IT'LL BE QUIETER
IN HERE.
SO, THIS ISN'A SOCIAL CALL, HUH?
TOO BAD.
GRAYSON WOULD HAVE LOVED
KNOWING YOU WERE TAKING
GOOD CARE OF ME.
PLEASE?
THANK YOU.
NO MORE QUESTIONS?
NO.
GOOD.
I'M VERY SORRY THAT I
HAVE TO DO THIS, TRACY,
BUT I'M GOING
TO NEED TO EXPOSE
GRAYSON'S PHILANDERING
IN COURT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
TRACY.
HE WAS UNFAITHFUL TO YOU,
BUT YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT.
BELIEVE ME, IF THERE WAS ANY
OTHER WAY--
HOW DID YOU KNOW?
THE RED DRESS.
MRS. FRANKS.
HELLO.
WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
I'M GREAT, THANK YOU.
DON'T YOU
JUST LOVE THIS DRESS?
I BET IT LOOKS
GORGEOUS ON YOU.
YOUR HUSBAND
HAS EXQUISITE TASTE.
YES, HE ALWAYS DID.
WHAT CAN I GEFOR YOU TODAY?
WELL, ACTUALLY,
UM, THIS.
IT'S FOR
MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW.
SHE'S GOING
TO ITALY WITH DEAN
AND I REALLY THOUGHT SHE
MIGHT LIKE
TO KIND OF
SHOW THIS OFF.
HOW ROMANTIC.
YES, THIS DRESS
CERTAINLY DOES SAY ROMANCE,
DOESN'T IT?
SO, WAS THAT A--
WHAT A SIGNAL?
A WARNING TO HIM?
YES.
MAC.
PLEASE. NO.
IF NOT FOR ME,
FOR GRAYSON.
THE LAST THING IN THE WORLD I
WANT TO DO
IS TARNISH GRAYSON'S
REPUTATION, TRACY,
BUT THERE IS A YOUNG MAN'S LIFE
AT STAKE.
I KNOW, BUT WHAT'S IGOING TO PROVE?
THAT GRAYSON WASN'T KILLED
FOR HIS ROLEX.
OR HIS WALLET.
THAT IT WAS
A CRIME OF PASSION,
AND THAT PROBABLY, IT WAS
SOMEONE CLOSE TO HIM.
HOW DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT THE
DRESS?
KATHY TOLD ME.
KATHY?
SHE HAD SEEN
THE DELIVERY RECEIPWHEN SHE WAS DEALING
WITH HIS EXPENSES.
AND THEN SHE PHONED YOU TO
TELL YOU THAT?
SHE DID.
HELLO?
Kathy, on phone: HI, TRACY. IT'S
KATHY.
HELLO, KATHY.
WHAT'S UP?
I JUST HAD TO CALL YOU AND
ASK WHEN ARE YOU GONNA WEAR IT?
I CAN'T WAITO SEE THAT DRESS.
I'M SURE IT'S EXQUISITE.
UM, WHAT DRESS?
THE NEW DRESS GRAYSON BOUGHFOR YOU AT BANLEY'S.
THE RED DeCOURS?
HE'S SUCH
A GREAT DESIGNER.
I CAN'T WAITO SEE YOU IN IT.
MY GOSH.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN
A SURPRISE,
AND NOW
I'VE RUINED IT.
I'M SO SORRY.
THE RECEIPT SAYS IT WAS
DELIVERED 2 WEEKS AGO.
I THOUGHT HE WOULD HAVE
GIVEN IT TO YOU BY NOW.
DID THAT MAKE YOU ANGRY?
NOT REALLY.
AFTER 30 YEARS OF INFIDELITY,
YOU GET USED TO IT.
I'M SICK AND TIRED OF
YOU NOT TRUSTING ME.
THEN GIVE ME
ONE REASON WHY I SHOULD.
HA! THIS
ISN'T JEALOUSY.
THIS IS
OUTRIGHT PARANOIA.
FAMILY MISUNDERSTANDING?
IT STARTED
ON THE PHONE.
AGAIN.
DEAN HUNG UP
ON ROCHELLE,
SHE CAME DOWN HERE--
AGAIN--
TO TRY TO EXPLAIN.
EXPLAIN? WHAT?
HE THINKS
SHE'S CHEATING ON HIM.
SEEMS
TO BE CATCHING.
SHE COME
AROUND HERE OFTEN?
SHE USED
TO COME BY HERE
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE
TO SEE DEAN.
IF HE WASN'T HERE,
SHE'D POP IN
AND SAY HELLO
TO GRAYSON.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH AN
IMPOSSIBLY JEALOUS HUSBAND?
MAKE SURE I ALWAYS HAD
A CAST IRON ALIBI.
THAT'S EXACTLY THE KIND
OF THING GRAYSON WOULD SAY.
ROCHELLE!
SHE WENT THAT-A-WAY.
DOESN'T MATTER.
JUST A SMALL
FAMILY DISCUSSION.
WE'LL FINISH IT LATER.
THAT'S WHAT'S GREAT ABOUMARITAL CONFLICTS.
SINGLE PEOPLE ARGUE,
BUT MARRIED PEOPLE
JUST HAVE DISCUSSIONS.
RIGHT.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
WELL, DEAN, ACTUALLY,
I CAME BY TO SEE KATHY.
LOOK, McBRIDE, I KNOW
YOU'RE JUST DOING YOUR JOB
DEFENDING THAT YOUNG MAN.
I RESPECT THAT.
DAD WOULD HAVE
DONE THE SAME.
BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN
I HAVE TO LIKE IT.
WHAT DO YOU WANT,
MR. McBRIDE?
UM...
THE CONDO.
HOW DID YOU KNOW
THAT GRAYSON USED IFOR THINGS
OTHER THAN CLIENTS?
I WAS
HIS PERSONAL ASSISTANT.
MAINTAINING IT WAS
MY RESPONSIBILITY.
HOW PERSONAL?
WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING?
MAY I BE DIRECT?
MORE DIRECT THAN USUAL?
DID YOU HAVE AN AFFAIR
WITH GRAYSON?
THAT'S NOT DIRECT,
MR. McBRIDE.
THAT'S DISRESPECTFUL.
I TAKE THAT AS A "YES."
NO, YOU CAN TAKE THAAS "I'M NOT GONNA DIGNIFY
THIS QUESTION
"WITH A RESPONSE."
KATHY, LISTEN TO ME.
AN INNOCENT YOUNG MAN IS
GOING TO GO TO DEATH ROW
UNLESS I CAN FIND OUT WHO
KILLED GRAYSON.
WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO
WITH EXPOSING HIS PERSONAL LIFE?
EVERYTHING!
GRAYSON WAS NOT MURDERED
OVER SOME ROBBERY.
IT WAS
A CRIME OF PASSION.
SOMEONE HE WAS INVOLVED
WITH,
OR SOMEONE CONNECTED TO THAPERSON KILLED HIM.
I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I FIND
THEM.
YOU SOUND
JUST LIKE GRAYSON.
IT WAS EXTRAORDINARY.
HE WAS TENDER...
EXCITING...
FUNNY.
YOU KNEW THE MAN.
HMPH.
I THOUGHT I DID.
WELL...
IT MUST HAVE BEEN TOUGH ON YOU
CONTINUING TO WORK WITH HIM
WHEN YOU KNEW HE WAS SEEING SOMEONE
ELSE AND HAD STOPPED SEEING YOU.
WHO SAID IT STOPPED?
WHAT ABOUT HIS WIFE?
TRACY NEVER KNEW.
I WOULDN'T BE
SO SURE ABOUT THAT.
DO YOU KNOW WHO HE WAS
SEEING WHEN HE WAS KILLED?
OR HAD HE
COME BACK TO YOU?
HE WAS SEEING
SOMEONE ELSE.
I DON'T KNOW WHO SHE WAS.
HE-- HE WOULD COOL IWITH ME
AND I WOULD KNOW THAT THERE
WAS SOMEONE ELSE.
HE WAS LIKE A CHILD
WITH A NEW TOY.
BUT THIS TIME...
SOMEONE
WAS DIFFERENT?
NO!
NEW SPORTS CAR, FANCY NEW
CLOTHES.
ATTEMPTS
AT REGAINING HIS YOUTH.
MAYBE THIS TIME IT WAS SERIOUS.
MAYBE THIS TIME HE WASN'GOING TO COME BACK TO YOU.
THAT'S WHY YOU TOLD TRACY
ABOUT THE RED DRESS.
KATHY... YOU TOLD HER
ABOUT THE DRESS.
BECAUSE YOU WERE JEALOUS?
BECAUSE YOU KNEW GRAYSON HAD
BOUGHT IF FOR SOMEONE ELSE?
HI.
YOU OK?
YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING.
IF WE PULL THIS OFF,
GRAYSON FRANKS' REPUTATION
WILL BE TARNISHED FOREVER.
PEOPLE WILL FORGETHE BRILLIANT JURIST HE WAS
AND ONLY REMEMBER THE
SKIRT-CHASING ADULTERER.
I'LL HAVE HELPED DESTROY
THE REPUTATION OF...
THE MAN I ADMIRED.
THE IRONY IS I'LL BE DOING IFOR WHAT HE CHERISHED MOSAND FOUGHT FOR ALL HIS LIFE...
JUSTICE.
MR. TRAVIS,
YOUR OPENING STATEMENT.
THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
OF THE JURY,
THIS IS A CASE
OF A BRUTAL MURDER
PERPETRATED BY A CALLOUS KILLER,
WHO COVETED
HIS VICTIM'S WRIST WATCH
SO MUCH MORE
THAN HIS VICTIM'S LIFE,
THAT HE STABBED
HIS VICTIM 16 TIMES
TO STEAL THE WATCH.
THE PROSECUTION WILL PRESENIRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE
THAT THE STOLEN WATCH WAS FOUND
IN THE DEFENDANT'S POSSESSION.
MOST DAMNING, BLOOD,
THE VICTIM'S BLOOD,
WAS FOUND
ON THE DEFENDANT'S SHIRT.
AND THE KNIFE THAT FORENSICS
EXPERTS HAVE ALREADY PROVEN
TO BE THE MURDER WEAPON,
WAS FOUND IN A LOCKED
TOOLBOX TO WHICH...
THE DEFENDANT HAS THE ONLY KEY.
THE FACTS?
SPEAK VERY CLEARLY
TO THE DEFENDANT'S GUILT.
MR. McBRIDE?
THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.
WELL, THAT WAS
A VERY COMPELLING,
ALBEIT INACCURATE STATEMENBY MR. TRAVIS,
SO LET ME CLEAR UP
ANY CONFUSION.
THE ONLY THING MY CLIENMR. LOBELL IS GUILTY OF
IS FINDING
A VERY EXPENSIVE WATCH
AND NOT TURNING IT IN
TO THE POLICE.
JUAN LOBELL DID NOT MURDER
GRAYSON FRANKS.
AND WE INTEND TO PROVE IT.
THIS IS THE KNIFE
THAT YOU FOUND
IN THE DEFENDANT'S
LOCKED TOOLBOX?
YES.
AND WE'VE ALREADY
HEARD FROM FORENSICS
THAT BLOOD FOUND ON THIS KNIFE
AND THE BLOOD FOUND
ON THE DEFENDANT'S SHIRARE A D.N.A. MATCH
TO THE DECEASED GRAYSON FRANKS.
THANK YOU.
NO MORE QUESTIONS.
YOUR WITNESS, MR. McBRIDE.
DETECTIVE HANSEN,
HOW DID YOU COME TO FIND
THE KNIFE IN MR. LOBELL'S
LOCKED TOOLBOX?
WE OBTAINED A SEARCH WARRANAND BROKE THE PAD LOCK.
ONCE THE BOX WAS OPENED,
THE KNIFE WAS IN PLAIN VIEW.
WHAT PROMPTED YOU
TO OBTAIN A SEARCH WARRANT?
WE RECEIVED AN ANONYMOUS TIP
THAT THE MURDER WEAPON WAS
HIDDEN IN MR. LOBELL'S TOOLBOX.
AN ANONYMOUS TIP.
DON'T YOU FIND IT STRANGE THAT...
AN ANONYMOUS CALLER
JUST HAPPENED
TO KNOW WHERE THE MISSING
MURDER WEAPON WAS?
IT'S NOT UNCOMMON
TO RECEIVE INFORMATION
FROM SOURCES WHO WISH
TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS.
I SEE.
WAS THIS PERSON
A MAN OR A WOMAN?
A DISPATCHER
ANSWERED THE CALL.
I REVIEWED THE RECORDING
A FEW TIMES,
AND, IN MY OPINION,
IT COULD BE EITHER.
REALLY? WHY IS THAT?
WAS THE VOICE DISGUISED?
FROM WHAT I HEARD,
I BELIEVE THAT'S A POSSIBILITY.
OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.
DETECTIVE HANSEN
IS NOT AN AUDIO EXPERT.
SUSTAINED.
KEEP IT MOVING, MR. McBRIDE.
YES, YOUR HONOR.
SO, THIS ANONYMOUS CALLER,
WITH A POTENTIALLY DISGUISED VOICE,
JUST HAPPENED TO KNOW THAJUAN LOBELL HAD PUT THE KNIFE
IN HIS TOOLBOX.
OBJECTION. SPECULATION.
SUSTAINED.
YOUR HONOR, IN ORDER FOR
THE CALLER TO HAVE THE TIP,
THEY HAD TO HAVE KNOWN THE
KNIFE WAS IN THE TOOLBOX.
BUT AS DETECTIVE HANSEN
DOESN'T KNOW THE CALLER,
SHE CAN NOT SPEAK
TO HIS LINE OF REASONING.
THAT IS CORRECT, BUTHANK YOU FOR ACKNOWLEDGING
THAT THE CALLER DID KNOW
WHERE THE KNIFE WAS!
GENTLEMEN,
IF YOU DON'T MIND,
I WILL RUN THIS COURT.
AND ANY FURTHER OUTBURSTS
BETWEEN EITHER ONE OF YOU,
AND I WILL CITE
YOU BOTH FOR CONTEMPT.
MY APOLOGIES
TO THE COURT, YOUR HONOR.
I WAS MERELY TRYING TO POINT OUTHAT THE ANONYMOUS CALLER
COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED
IN PLANTING THE KNIFE.
I BELIEVE YOU
MADE YOUR POINT.
MS. BROWN...
HOW LONG WERE YOU GRAYSON
FRANKS' PERSONAL ASSISTANT?
6 YEARS.
FAIR TO SAY
YOU KNEW HIM WELL?
VERY WELL.
YOU WERE PRIVY TO HIS...
PERSONAL, AS WELL
AS HIS BUSINESS AFFAIRS.
YES.
ALL OF HIS AFFAIRS?
I'M NOT SURE
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN?
I'M TALKING ABOUHIS EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS.
OBJECTION. I FAIL
TO SEE THE RELEVANCE
IN THIS LINE OF QUESTIONING.
I PROMISE YOU, YOUR HONOR,
IF YOU ALLOW ME TO CONTINUE,
I WILL SHOW A CLEAR LINE
OF RELEVANCE.
OVERRULED.
YOU MAY PROCEED.
GRAYSON FRANKS OWNED A
CONDOMINIUM IN MARINA DEL REY.
YES.
IT WAS FOR THE USE OF CLIENTS.
THAT WAS ITS ONLY PURPOSE?
YOUR HONOR, HE'S
BADGERING HIS OWN WITNESS.
NO. YOUR HONOR,
I'M NOT BADGERING.
I'M TRYING TO ESTABLISH THAGRAYSON FRANKS HAD A SECRET LIFE,
AND THAT SOMEONE CONNECTED
WITH THAT LIFE,
HAD A MUCH MORE PASSIONATE
AND PERSONAL REASON,
OTHER THAN ROBBERY,
TO MURDER HIM.
OVERRULED, BUT I BETTER
SEE THE PAYOFF PRETTY SOON.
ISN'T IT TRUE THAGRAYSON FRANKS USED THAT...
CONDOMINIUM
TO CONDUCT SEXUAL AFFAIRS...
WITH A NUMBER OF WOMEN?
MS. BROWN?
YOU'RE UNDER OATH.
MS. BROWN,
PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION.
YES.
IN FACT, YOU KNEW GRAYSON
FRANKS TO BE A SERIAL ADULTERER.
DID YOU NOT?
AND YOU HAD FIRSTHAND
KNOWLEDGE OF THAT,
BECAUSE--
YOU KNEW THAT BECAUSE...
YOU KNEW THAT BECAUSE,
AS HIS PERSONAL ASSISTANT,
THERE WERE THINGS
HE COULDN'T HIDE FROM YOU.
YES.
YES.
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.
YOUR WITNESS, MR. TRAVIS?
NO QUESTIONS, YOUR HONOR.
ACTUALLY, I THOUGHWE DID ALL RIGHT TODAY.
WE ESTABLISHED AN OPENING.
"ALL RIGHT'S" NOT QUITE
GOOD ENOUGH, THOUGH.
TRAVIS STILL HOLDS
MOST OF THE CARDS.
HEY, ANY PROGRESS
ON THE BANK RECORDS?
WE COULD USE
A HAIL MARY PASS RIGHT NOW.
LIKE I TOLD YOU,
I FARMED SOME OF THE WORK OUTO OLD HACKER FRIENDS OF MINE.
LET ME JUST CHECK MY EMAIL HERE.
WOW.
WHAT?
QUICK, COME HERE.
LOOK.
I LOVE HAIL MARY PASSES.
WHAT-- WHAT CAN
WE DO WITH THIS?
WE CAN'T USE IT IN COURT.
THAT DEPENDS HOW YOU PLAY IT.
FIRST MONUMENT BANK
OF CALIFORNIA.
DO ME A FAVOR? GET OVER THERE
AND GET AS MANY BROCHURES
AS YOU CAN
WITH THEIR NAME ON THEM.
GOOD IDEA.
HI, ROBERTA, IT'S ME.
LISTEN, DID YOU HAVE ANY LUCK WITH
THAT PARKING TICKET INFORMATION
I ASKED YOU ABOUT?
SORRY, I DIDN'T EVEN
CHECK THE FAX MACHINE.
ALL RIGHT, DEAR.
THANK YOU.
MR. DELGADO, WHAT DO
YOU DO FOR A LIVING?
I SERVICE
AND REPAIR MOTORCYCLES.
WITH JUAN LOBELL, RIGHT?
YES.
YOU'RE FRIENDS, CORRECT?
YEAH.
DO YOU SHARE
THINGS LIKE TOOLS?
WE HAVE OUR OWN
BUT SOMETIMES, YEAH.
SO, IF YOU NEEDED A SPECIFIC
TOOL THAT WASN'T IN YOUR TOOLBOX,
YOU COULD ASK JUAN
TO BORROW IT, CORRECT?
YEAH.
UNLESS HE WASN'T THERE,
OR UNLESS HIS TOOLBOX
WAS LOCKED.
YEAH.
SO...
IF HE WASN'T THERE,
YOU COULDN'T GET ACCESS TO HIS TOOLS, RIGHT?
NO, I COULDN'T.
I HEAR THAT YOU'RE
PRETTY GOOD WITH A LOCK.
OBJECTION. SPECULATION.
YOUR HONOR, IF MR. TRAVIS WILL
ALLOW ME TO FINISH MY QUESTION,
I THINK HE'LL FIND THAT THERE
IS INDEED NO SPECULATION.
OVERRULED FOR THE MOMENT.
MR. DELGADO, ISN'T IT TRUE
THAT YOU RECENTLY ASSISTED SOMEONE
WITH UNLOCKING THEIR STEERING
COLUMN ON THEIR BIKE
AND STARTING THE ENGINE
OF THEIR BIKE WITHOUT A KEY?
YEAH.
THE DUDE LOST HIS KEYS.
HE WAS SO GRATEFUL,
HE GAVE ME A 20.
AND ISN'T IT ALSO TRUE
THAT YOU AND MR. LOBELL
SHARE THE SAME OBSESSION
WITH MOTORCYCLES?
YEAH.
PHIL, MAY I?
MR. DELGADO, DIDN'T YOU
JUST BUY A MOTORCYCLE?
BRAND NEW TRIUMPH.
YES.
WITH A $20,000 PRICE TAG.
I GOT HIM DOWN TO 17.
GOOD FOR YOU.
DID YOU TAKE A LOAN OUTO PAY FOR THE BIKE?
IF YOU CAN'T REMEMBER,
WE CAN ASK THE GENTLEMAN
WHO SOLD YOU THE MOTORCYCLE.
OBJECTION. RELEVANCE?
YOUR HONOR, I PROMISE
RELEVANCE WILL
BE PERFECTLY CLEAR
ONCE MR. DELGADO
ANSWERS THE QUESTION.
OVERRULED.
YOU MAY ANSWER THE QUESTION.
NO, I PAID CASH.
WHOA. THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY.
I WORK HARD.
INDEED. YOU MUST,
BECAUSE ISN'T IT ALSO TRUE
THAT JUST A FEW DAYS PRIOR,
YOU HAD IN YOUR POSSESSION
$25,000?
WHO TOLD YOU THAT?
IS IT TRUE?
I SAVED THAT MONEY.
I TAKE IT YOU HAVE BANK
RECORDS TO THAT EFFECT?
TOO HARD A QUESTION?
WELL, WE'LL...
ASK AN EASIER ONE. IF YOU HAD
THAT MUCH MONEY LAYING AROUND,
WHY DID YOU WAISO LONG TO BUY THE BIKE?
I, UM...
I WAS-- I WAS
MAKING UP MY MIND.
OF COURSE. I SEE.
WELL, YEAH, JUST COINCIDENTAL
THAT YOU HAD $25,000
JUST PRIOR TO THE MURDER
WEAPON BEING FOUND
IN JUAN'S TOOLBOX.
AND YET, YOU WAITED...
UNTIL THAT VERY DAY
TO BUY THE MOTORCYCLE.
NO MORE QUESTIONS.
MRS. FRANKS, HOW LONG WERE
YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND MARRIED?
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
30 YEARS IN MAY.
WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURS
AS A HAPPY MARRIAGE?
WELL, ALL RELATIONSHIPS
HAVE THEIR UPS AND DOWNS,
AND OURS WAS SUCCESSFUL
BECAUSE WE SURVIVED BOTH.
DID YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR
HUSBAND'S EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS?
YES.
I WASN'T AWARE
OF THE OTHER WOMEN
UNTIL WE WERE MARRIED
NEARLY 10 YEARS.
BUT NOW I KNOW...
THAT THEY WERE ALWAYS
AROUND FROM THE BEGINNING.
DID YOU EVER CONFRONT HIM
ABOUT HIS INFIDELITIES?
NO, NOT DIRECTLY.
I PROBABLY SHOULD'VE,
BUT I JUST FOUND IT EASIER
TO JUST GET BACK
AT HIM IN SUBTLE WAYS.
LIKE WEARING
A DRESS IDENTICAL
TO ONE THAT HE HAD
BOUGHT HIS MISTRESS?
IT SEEMS SO PETTY.
I JUST...
I JUST WANTED HIM TO KNOW
HE COULDN'T FOOL ME ANYMORE.
WOULD YOU...
UM, NO MORE QUESTIONS
OF THIS WITNESS, YOUR HONOR.
MR. TRAVIS, YOUR WITNESS?
MRS. FRANKS, DID ANY ONE OF THESE
WOMEN CAUSE HARM TO YOUR HUSBAND,
ASSAULT HIM,
MAKE DEATH THREATS,
SEND ANGRY LETTERS?
NO. NO, WHEN MY HUSBAND
WAS AT HIS WORST,
YOU COULDN'T HATE HIM.
THE WOMEN COULDN'T HELP IT.
EVERYBODY LOVED GRAYSON.
THANK YOU.
THE WITNESS IS EXCUSED.
DEAN, I KNOW WHAA TERRIBLY TOUGH TIME THIS IS
FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
AGAIN, YOU HAVE
MY DEEPEST SYMPATHIES.
THANK YOU.
A FEW QUESTIONS I HAVE
TO ASK JUST FOR THE RECORD.
OF COURSE.
LET'S START WITH THE OBVIOUS.
WHERE WERE YOU THE EVENING
YOUR FATHER WAS KILLED?
I WAS AT THE FAMILY LODGE
AT LAKE ARROWHEAD.
ALL DAY?
UNTIL ABOUT 7:00
IN THE EVENING.
THEN YOU DROVE HOME?
YES.
THAT'S ABOUT A 2 HOUR DRIVE,
PUT YOU BACK IN L.A.
SOMETIME AFTER 9:00, DEPENDING ON TRAFFIC.
THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT.
ARE YOU AWARE OF THE
CONDOMINIUM YOUR FATHER OWNED
IN MARINA DEL REY?
YES, I HANDLED THE PURCHASE.
DO YOU UTILIZE THE CONDO?
NO, NO, I HAVEN'T BEEN THERE SINCE
WE CLOSED ESCROW A FEW YEARS AGO.
I HAVE HERE A REPORT FROM THE
MARINA DEL REY TRAFFIC DIVISION.
IT STATES THAA PARKING TICKEWAS ISSUED OUTSIDE THE CONDO
TO A 2006 CORVETTE
OWNED BY YOUR FATHER GRAYSON
FRANKS ON THE DAY HE WAS KILLED.
THAT HAS TO BE A MISTAKE.
MY FATHER HAD A PARKING SPACE
IN THE UNDERGROUND GARAGE.
THAT'S WHAT I FIGURED, TOO.
I TALKED
TO THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY.
THEY SAID THAT THE--
THE GATE TO THE UNDERGROUND
PARKING WAS OUT OF SERVICE,
AND THAT IT WAS BEING REPAIRED
BETWEEN 4:00 P.M.
AND 6:45 P.M. THAT DAY.
WELL, I DON'T THINK THE
PARKING TICKET MEANS ANYTHING NOW.
ODDER STILL...
ANOTHER PARKING TICKET WAS ISSUED
OUTSIDE THE CONDO ON THE SAME DAY
TO A 2006 PORSCHE
WITH A PERSONALIZED
LICENSE PLATE THAT READ
"ROCHELLE."
ISN'T THAT YOUR WIFE'S CAR?
THAT'S A MISTAKE.
SHE'S NOT EVEN AWARE
OF THE CONDO.
WE-- WE BOUGHT IBEFORE I EVEN MET HER.
YOUR HONOR, MAY I
HAVE A MOMENT TO CONFER
WITH MY ASSOCIATE MR. NEWBERRY?
YES.
MR. FRANKS,
DO YOU KNOW MARCO DELGADO?
I HEARD HIS TESTIMONY.
HE WORKS WITH THE MAN
WHO KILLED MY FATHER.
YOUR HONOR?
THE STENOGRAPHER
WILL STRIKE
THAT LAST COMMENFROM THE RECORD,
AND THE JURY IS INSTRUCTED
TO DO LIKEWISE.
EARLIER, MR. DELGADO TESTIFIED
THAT HE PAID $17,000 CASH
FOR A MOTORCYCLE JUST DAYS
FOLLOWING YOUR FATHER'S MURDER.
HE TESTIFIED HE COULD
SPEND $17,000 BECAUSE
HE HAD SAVED 25,000.
GOOD FOR HIM.
DO YOU BANK AT FIRSMONUMENT BANK OF CALIFORNIA?
YES.
ON THE 26th OF THE MONTH,
THE DAY BEFORE THE MURDER WEAPON WAS FOUND
IN JUAN LOBELL'S TOOL BOX
AND MR. DELGADO'S WINDFALL,
YOU WITHDREW $25,000 IN CASH
FROM YOUR ACCOUNT.
IS THAT CORRECT?
YES.
WHY?
NEEDED IFOR BUSINESS INVESTMENTS.
IT'S WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING.
DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS.
YOU GAVE THAT MONEY TO MARCO
DELGADO, DIDN'T YOU?
WHY WOULD I DO THAT?
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM.
YOU GAVE
MARCO DELGADO $25,000...
TO PLANT THIS KNIFE
IN JUAN LOBELL'S TOOLBOX.
THAT'S A LIE.
YOU'RE IMPLYING THAT I--
YOU'RE IMPLYING THAI KILLED MY OWN FATHER.
YES, I'M AFRAID I AM.
BECAUSE YOU DISCOVERED
THAT YOUR WIFE
WAS HAVING
AN AFFAIR WITH HIM.
SO YOU CAME BACK EARLY FROM
LAKE ARROWHEAD TO CHECK ON THEM.
ROCHELLE, PLEASE!
SO, YOU FOLLOWED YOUR FATHER,
PARKED IN THE DARK...
AND WAITED FOR HIM.
WHAT THE HECK IS THIS...
DEAN?
DAMN YOU. DAMN YOU TO HELL!
AND EVEN AFTER
JUAN LOBELL WAS ARRESTED,
YOU DIDN'T COME FORWARD
WITH THE TRUTH.
INSTEAD, YOU PAID
HIS BEST FRIEND
MARCO DELGADO $25,000...
TO PUT THIS KNIFE
IN HIS TOOLBOX.
I'M...
SO SORRY.
MOM-- MOTHER, PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
TRACY. TRACY?
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
THIS COURT WILL RECESS
UNTIL SUCH TIME AS WE CAN ENTERTAIN
A MOTION FOR DISMISSAL OF ALL CHARGES
AGAINST THE DEFENDANMR. JUAN LOBELL.
MEANTIME, I EXPECT TO SEE
BOTH COUNSEL IN MY CHAMBERS
IN 30 MINUTES.
HERE HE IS.
JUAN!
THANK YOU, MR. McBRIDE.
YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.
THANK YOU, PHIL.
JUAN.
YOU'RE MOST WELCOME. TAKE
CARE OF YOURSELF, ALL RIGHT?
SURE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
PHIL?
TAKE CARE, MAN.
WELL.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID IT,
MAC.
YOU GOT TO THE TRUTH EVEN IF
IT HURT.
YEAH. THIS ONE DID, TOO.
WHAT LED YOU TO DEAN?
THE RED DRESS.
YEAH, KATHY GAVE
GRAYSON'S DELIVERY
RECEIPT FOR THE DRESS
TO DEAN
BECAUSE HE HANDLED
ALL OF HIS FATHER'SFINANCES.
AND WHEN DEAN SAW THE RECEIPAND REALIZED THAT ROCHELLE HAD
THAT DRESS IN HER CLOSET,
HE KNEW SHE HADN'T BOUGHT IT.
YEAH, WITH GRAYSON'S
PENCHANT FOR RED
AND THE ARGUMENTS THAT DEAN
AND ROCHELLE HAD BEEN HAVING,
DEAN PUT 2 AND 2 TOGETHER
AND CAME UP WITH AN AFFAIR.
SO, IT WAS KATHY'S GIVING
THE DELIVERY RECEIPT TO DEAN
THAT SET THINGS IN MOTION?
YEAH.
YOU'RE AMAZING.
AW, GOSH. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
THE PARKING TICKET INFORMATION
YOU GAVE US,
THAT SEALED THE DEAL.
HEY.
WE STILL MAKE A GOOD TEAM.
YOU BET.
I'LL SEE YOU AROUND, COUNSELOR.
DETECTIVE.
BYE, PHIL.
BYE.
SO, YOU THINK YOU MIGHTAKE SOME TIME,
GET REACQUAINTED WITH MARIA
AND JUAN?
YEAH. YEAH, IT'S BEEN A LONG
TIME.
MAYBE YOU GUYS CAN TALK ABOUWHAT IT WAS YOU WANTED TO BE
WHEN YOU WERE A KID.
COME ON. COME ON. COME ON.
WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU
GREW UP?
Y-- YOU PROMISE NOT TO LAUGH?
I-- WHY WOULD I LAUGH?
I WANTED TO BE A...
A BALLET DANCER.
REALLY?
YOU KNOW WHAT? I USED TO TAP
WHEN I WAS A KID.
YOU DID?
- HUH.
AND IT'S NEVER TOO LATE, YOU
KNOW.
TELL YOU WHAT.
I'LL BUY YOU A TUTU FOR
CHRISTMAS.
WANTED TO BE A BALLEDANCER.
HA HA HA!
PROSECUTION PRESENTS A...
COMPELLING,
IF FLAWED, ASSESSMENT.
FLAWED?
THERE IS THE QUESTION
OF MITIGATING PRECEDENWHICH THEY HAVE
TOTALLY OVERLOOKED.
YOUR HONOR, I HAVE A
DEDICATED TEAM COMBING THE BOOKS
SEEKING ANY SUCH PRECEDENT,
AND I CAN ASSURE YOU,
WE HAVEN'T OVERLOOKED ANYTHING.
YOU WON'T FIND IIN THE BOOKS,
NOT YET.
THE GRAYSON FRANKS?
BEST LAWYER THERE IS.
HE HAD ME ON THE STAND ONCE.
RATHER HAVE GONE TO THE DENTIST.
WOW.
THANK YOU.
WHEN I DECIDED TO QUITHE FORCE, BECOME A LAWYER,
GRAYSON HELPED ME GET STARTED.
HE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE
GENEROUS WITH HIS TIME.
SOUNDS LIKE A TERRIFIC MAN.
ONE HELL OF A LAWYER, TOO...
THE STEALTH BOMBER IN A SUIT.
I DRAW YOUR ATTENTION
TO PARAGRAPH 5,
WHERE YOU WILL LEARN
THAT THE SUPREME COURT,
WHICH HAS BEEN DEBATING
A VERY SIMILAR CASE,
JUST ISSUED ITS
RULING YESTERDAY
ON BEHALF OF THE PLAINTIFF
PERHAPS YOUR DEDICATED TEAM WAS
TOO BUSY SCOURING THE LAW BOOKS
TO STAY ABREASOF THE SUPREME COURT'S RULING.
CONSIDERING THE PRECEDENINITIATED BY THE SUPREME COURT,
THIS CASE IS DISMISSED.
THE DEFENDANT IS FREE TO GO.
YOU SAIL CLOSE
TO THE WIND, COUNSELOR.
ONLY WAY TO WIN
THE RACE, COUNSELOR.
AS LONG AS THERE
IS REASONABLE DOUBT,
THAT DOUBT MUST WEIGH
ON THE SIDE OF THE DEFENDANT.
THAT'S THE AMERICAN WAY
OF JUSTICE.
WHAT HAPPENED HERE TODAY
BEARS ME OUT. THANK YOU.
GRAYSON!
McBRIDE, WHAA PLEASANT SURPRISE.
HOW IN THE WORLD ARE YOU?
YOU TRYING A CASE HERE TODAY?
EARLIER. WE, STUCK
AROUND TO WATCH THE MASTER.
WELL, IF I HAD KNOWN, I
WOULD HAVE PUT ON A BETTER SHOW.
THAT WAS
QUITE IMPRESSIVE ENOUGH.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
SPEAKING OF TALENT,
THIS IS MY ASSOCIATE
PHIL NEWBERRY.
PHIL.
SIR, IT IS AN HONOR
TO MEET YOU.
WELL, THANK YOU
VERY MUCH BUT...
EASY ON THE "SIR."
IT MAKES ME FEEL OLD.
WHY DON'T YOU SWING BY THE
HOUSE FOR A GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE?
YEAH? WHAT'S THE OCCASION?
IT WAS 40 YEARS AGO TODAY,
I PASSED THE BAR.
CONGRATULATIONS.
I INVITED
THE STAFF AND--
I INVITED THE D.A.,
BUT I THINK THE D.A.'S DECLINED MY INVITE.
LISTEN,
WE'D HATE TO INTRUDE.
DON'T BE SILLY.
IT'LL GIVE US A CHANCE TO CATCH UP.
COME ON. YOU, TOO, PHIL.
GREAT. YOU'RE
LOOKING FANTASTIC.
HA, HA, HA.
MAC?
HI, TRACY!
HEY!
IT'S SO NICE TO SEE YOU.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE HERE.
YOU DIDN'T TELL ME HE WAS COMING.
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW TILL I
RAN INTO HIM IN THE COURTROOM.
WELL, I KNOW YOU BOYS HAVE
A LOT OF CATCHING UP TO DO.
DON'T BE A STRANGER, MAC, OK?
YOU ARE A LUCKY MAN, GRAYSON.
TELL ME ABOUT IT. SO, HOW'S
THE LAW PRACTICE, COUNSELOR?
IT'S FINE.
YOU KNOW, I-- I MAKE
ENOUGH MONEY OFF SOME
TO SPEND TIME HELPING
THE LITTLE GUY
NOT GET SO CRUSHED
BY THE SYSTEM.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
ON THIS 40th ANNIVERSARY,
PLEASE JOIN ME IN RAISING
A GLASS TO MY BOSS,
MY FRIEND...
GRAYSON FRANKS.
HEAR, HEAR.
THANK YOU.
40 YEARS.
THANK YOU.
BE RIGHT BACK, OK?
HI.
HI.
CONGRATULATIONS, COUNSELOR.
THANKS, SWEETHEART.
THAT'S DEAN'S WIFE ROCHELLE.
YES. THEY MAKE
A WONDERFUL COUPLE.
I'M VERY SORRY I MISSED
THEIR WEDDING LAST YEAR.
I WAS UP TO MY EYEBALLS
IN A MURDER CASE.
DEAN-- HE'S STILL
WITH FINANCING PARTNERS?
YES, DOING VERY NICELY.
MADE V.P. ALREADY.
HANDLES
ALL MY FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.
I COULD NOT BE IN BETTER HANDS.
WELL, HE IS YOUR SON.
CONGRATULATIONS, COUNSELOR.
ANOTHER NOTCH
IN THE BELT.
THANKS, SON.
HEY, DEAN.
MAC, GREAT TO SEE YOU!
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR
MARRIAGE, BY THE WAY.
THANK YOU.
WE WERE ALL SORRY YOU COULDN'T MAKE IT,
BUT WE DO APPRECIATE
THE WONDERFUL GIFT YOU SENT.
WHAT? YOU DIDN'RECEIVE A DOZEN TOASTERS?
NO. ONLY 3, BUT YOURS
IS THE ONE WE KEPT.
VERY DIPLOMATIC OF YOU.
YOU KNOW I HOPE SOMEBODY
LOOKS AT ME THAT WAY SOME DAY.
EXCUSE ME?
THE WAY THAT YOU
WERE LOOKING AT MR. FRANKS?
HE'S A GREAT MAN.
MISTER...
NEWBERRY.
YOU CAN CALL ME PHIL.
WELL, MR. NEWBERRY...
I'VE WORKED AT SEVERAL FIRMS.
I KNOW THE REAL THING.
I-- I WASN'T SUGGESTING
ANYTHING, YOU KNOW--
THIS LATEST CASE,
FOR INSTANCE?
DO YOU KNOW
THAT HE GOT 4 CONTINUANCES,
PLAYING FOR TIME UNTIL THE
SUPREME COURT WROTE ITS DECISION?
WOW. THAT'S VERY IMPRESSIVE.
THAT'S MY HUSBAND.
HE LOVES TAKING RISKS.
RIGHT, KATHY?
YES, I MET GRAYSON FRANKS.
I WAS AT HIS HOUSE
FOR A PARTY.
I GOTTA GO.
OK, I LOVE YOU, TOO.
BYE-BYE.
LET ME GUESS. WHAT IS THAT,
THE 300th PERSON YOU'VE CALLED
TO TELL THEM YOU'VE
MET GRAYSON FRANKS?
SHE CALLED ME.
IT WAS MY MOM.
HOW SWEET. YOU KNOW YOU'RE
SOUNDING A LITTLE STAR-STRUCK?
DO ME A FAVOR?
TAKE A RIDE WITH ME. WHERE?
HAVE TO TAKE JESSE TO THE...
V-E-T. IT'S TIME FOR HIS SHOTS,
AND I'M GONNA NEED SOMEBODY
TO HELP ME
DISTRACT HIM ONCE
HE REALIZES WHERE HE IS.
OK. OK, JESSE,
WANT TO GO FOR A RIDE?
ROGER THAT.
WE'RE STILL ON SITE.
YOU SAID
HIS WALLET'S MISSING?
SO IS HIS WATCH.
LOOK, I'M GONNA GO TALK
TO THE WIDOW.
LET ME KNOW WHEN
THE CORONER GETS HERE.
THANK YOU.
MRS. FRANKS?
I'M DETECTIVE HANSEN.
I'M VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
THANK YOU.
I KNOW THIS IS A DIFFICULTIME FOR YOU, BUT...
I WAS HOPING YOU COULD TELL ME
HOW YOU DISCOVERED YOUR HUSBAND.
THERE'S REALLY
NOT MUCH TO TELL.
I MEAN, I WAS PULLING UP...
THE DRIVEWAY. HIS CAR WAS
BLOCKING THE GATE, AND, UM...
I WENT UP TO SEE
WHAT WAS GOING ON.
AND HE WAS...
LYING THERE.
I TAKE IT HE WORE A WATCH?
YES.
IT SEEMS TO BE MISSING.
IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIAL OR
DISTINCTIVE ABOUT THE WATCH?
IT'S A GOLD ROLEX.
I HAD THE INITIALS...
"G.F." ENGRAVED ON THE BACK.
THANK YOU, MRS. FRANKS.
THAT COULD BE VERY HELPFUL.
YOU KNOW A LOT OF THESE
THINGS ARE KNOCK-OFFS, DON'T YOU?
NOT THIS ONE, GRANDPA.
IT'S THE REAL DEAL.
YEAH, MAYBE.
LET ME TAKE A LOOK.
YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
STRICTLY KOSHER.
THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE WATCH
FOR A KID.
WHERE'D YOU GET IT?
MY UNCLE LEFT IT TO ME.
I HOPE YOU APPRECIATED HIM?
HOW MUCH?
I CAN GIVE YOU 5 GRAND.
YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!
THAT THING'S SOLID GOLD.
IT'S GOTTA BE WORTH
AT LEAST 20 G.
LOOK, FOR ALL I KNOW,
IT COULD BE WORTH 100 Gs,
BUT GOOD LUCK TRYING
TO FIND SOMEBODY
WHO'D BE WILLING
TO PAY THAT MUCH FOR IT.
5 GRAND. IT'S THE BESI COULD DO.
TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.
OK, FINE.
HERE, I NEED YOU
TO WRITE DOWN YOUR NAME
AND YOUR ADDRESS.
WHY?
IT'S THE LAW.
OK, OK. YOU GOT A PEN?
YOU'RE--
MOVE ONE INCH, AND I'LL TAKE
YOUR HEAD OFF OF YOUR SHOULDERS!
YOU'RE CRAZY, OLD MAN. LOOK,
JUST GIVE ME MY WATCH, AND I'M OUTTA HERE.
SHUT UP! PUT YOUR HANDS
ON TOP OF YOUR HEAD.
I THINK WE'LL PASS
ON THIS ONE, JESSE.
WE DON'T DEFEND SLUM LORDS.
HEY, ROBERTA, WHAT'S UP?
MAC, I'VE BEEN
TRYING TO REACH YOU.
YEAH, WHY?
HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS?
WHAT NEWS?
GRAYSON FRANKS WAS
MURDERED LAST NIGHT.
WHAT?
HOW?
LOOKS LIKE ROBBERY.
RO--
UM, THANKS FOR CALLING.
IS YOUR NAME JUAN LOBELL?
YES, JUST LIKE I TOLD
THE COP THAT ARRESTED ME.
AND YOUR INITIALS
AREN'T "G.F."
WHERE'D YOU GET THE WATCH, JUAN?
I FOUND IT.
THE GUY WHO OWNED IOBVIOUSLY DOESN'T CARE
ABOUT IT TOO MUCH.
IT WAS JUST LAYING
ON THE GROUND.
THE GUY WHO OWNED THIS WATCH
WAS MURDERED LAST NIGHT.
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?
I DIDN'T KILL ANYBODY.
I TOLD YOU.
I FOUND THE WATCH.
THEN YOU HAVE NOTHING
TO WORRY ABOUT.
McBRIDE AND ASSOCIATES.
HI, ROBERTA.
YEAH, HE'S RIGHT HERE.
HOLD ON.
ROBERTA.
HI.
REALLY? GOOD.
HUH. OK.
WELL, THANKS FOR TELLING ME.
BYE.
WHAT?
SHE'S, UM, HOLDING
A KID THEY CAUGHT TRYING
TO PAWN GRAYSON FRANKS' ROLEX.
GOOD.
YEAH.
WENT TO HIS HOUSE, THOUGH.
THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY WALLET,
NO CREDIT CARDS, NO MONEY.
PROBABLY DUMPED THE CREDIT CARDS
BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO CONSPICUOUS.
YEAH. MAYBE.
PHIL?
YES.
PHIL NEWBERRY.
MARIE.
YOU GUYS LOOK LIKE
YOU KNOW EACH OTHER.
YEAH, WE-- WE
PRACTICALLY GREW UP TOGETHER.
MY MOTHER TOLD ME
YOU'D BECOME A LAWYER.
TO BE HONEST, I WAS
A LITTLE SURPRISED.
WHY?
BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS
SAID YOU WANTED TO--
THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
MAC, THIS IS MARIE LOBELL.
MARIE, THIS IS MY ASSOCIATE
MR. McBRIDE.
LOBELL?
MR. McBRIDE, I AM-- .
I'M SORRY, AM I INTERRUPTING?
NO. UM...
YOU'RE RELATED TO JUAN LOBELL?
YES, HE'S MY BROTHER.
HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT JUAN?
HE'S THE KID
ROBERTA JUST ARRESTED.
SO YOU KNOW THE CASE, THEN?
YEAH, THE VICTIM WAS
A CLOSE FRIEND OF HIS.
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T KNOW.
UM, WOULD YOU
LIKE TO SIT DOWN?
PLEASE.
WELL, HOW DO YOU TWO
KNOW EACH OTHER?
MARIE'S MOTHER WAS MY
FAMILY'S HOUSEKEEPER FOR YEARS.
SHE WAS LIKE
A SECOND MOTHER TO ME.
MR. McBRIDE,
MY BROTHER MAY BE FOOLISH
AND A LITTLE WILD SOMETIMES,
BUT HE IS NOT A KILLER.
AND YOU THOUGHT THAPHIL MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP.
NOT JUST PHIL.
I ASKED AROUND ABOUT YOU, TOO,
MR. McBRIDE.
HE'S INNOCENT, AND I WANTO MAKE SURE HE'S REPRESENTED
BY SOMEONE WHO WILL
HELP HIM PROVE THAT.
UM, YOU MUST APPRECIATE THAI HAVE A PERSONAL CONFLICT HERE.
BUT MY BROTHER
IS NOT A KILLER.
OK,
NOT PROMISING ANYTHING.
UM, I WILL GO TALK TO JUAN.
YOU'LL REQUIRE A RETAINER.
WE CAN DEAL WITH THAT LATER.
THANK YOU, BOTH OF YOU.
DON'T THANK US YET.
I'M NOT MAKING ANY COMMITMENTS,
EXCEPT TO GO AND TALK TO HIM.
THAT ALONE
DESERVES MY THANKS.
OK.
WHY SHOULD I TALK TO YOU?
BECAUSE I'M HERE TO HELP YOU.
THAT'S WHAT MARIE SAID.
REALLY? YOU SHOULD LISTEN
TO HER. SHE'S A SMART WOMAN.
I DIDN'T KILL HIM.
I DIDN'T DO THOSE THINGS
THEY SAID.
THEY CAUGHT YOU TRYING
TO HOCK A DEAD MAN'S WATCH.
I FOUND IT.
OK.
LET'S SAY I BELIEVE YOU.
HOW DID YOU FIND A GOLD ROLEX?
ME AND MY PARTNER JUST GOT DONE
TUNING UP THIS CUSTOMER'S BIKE,
AND I HAD TAKEN IT OUFOR A TEST DRIVE.
SO, IT DIDN'OCCUR TO YOU
TO TURN SUCH AN EXPENSIVE ITEM
IN TO THE POLICE?
YOU KIDDING? PROBABLY WOULD
HAVE ENDED UP ON SOME COP'S WRIST.
SO I MADE A MISTAKE.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE
TAKEN THE WATCH,
BUT I DIDN'T KILL HIM.
I SWEAR.
I HOPE FOR YOUR SAKE,
YOU'RE TELLING ME THE TRUTH.
SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
DON'T KNOW.
ON THE ONE HAND, YOU'VE GOAN IMPULSIVE, HEAD-STRONG KID
THAT COULD'VE SEEN THE WATCH
AS A TICKET TO A NEW MOTORCYCLE.
OK, SO HE TRIES TO STEAL IT.
THINGS GO WRONG, AND HE
ACCIDENTALLY KILLS FRANKS.
FRANKS WAS STABBED 16 TIMES.
THAT'S NOT AN ACCIDENT.
SO WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER HAND?
IT'S LIKE HE SAID,
RIDING DOWN THE STREET,
SEES A ROLEX LYING
ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
WHICH MEANS WHAT?
FRANKS' KILLER PURPOSELY
THREW THE WATCH AWAY,
WHICH RAISES THE POSSIBILITY...
THAT FRANKS WAS KILLED
FOR ANOTHER REASON.
AND THE MISSING WALLEAND THE WATCH
WERE JUST MEANT TO MAKE
IT LOOK LIKE A ROBBERY.
MARIE THINKS
JUAN IS INNOCENT.
REALLY?
WELL, THAT DOESN'T DO US
A LOT OF GOOD RIGHT NOW.
I WANNA GO TALK TO ROBERTA.
GET ON YOUR PONY AND GET OUTO JUAN'S NEIGHBORHOOD.
HE WORKS IN SOME
LITTLE MOTORCYCLE SHOP
IN SIMI VALLEY.
CHECK IT OUT. TALK TO SOME
OF THE YOUNG KIDS ON THE STREET.
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES
PEOPLE LIKE HIM...
THEY HAVE TO BRAG
ABOUT WHAT THEY DID.
CALL ME IF YOU FIND
ANYTHING OUT.
OK.
McBRIDE.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
I KNOW YOU MET WITH LOBELL.
ARE YOU INTERESTED?
HE HAS A SISTER.
I KNOW. I'VE SEEN HER.
SHE'S VERY ATTRACTIVE,
AND SHE'S TOO YOUNG FOR YOU.
NO, SHE'S NOT.
I'M JUST TOO OLD FOR HER.
HUH.
ARE YOU TAKING THE CASE?
TOLD HER I'D LOOK INTO IT.
AND?
I DON'T KNOW.
JUAN TOLD ME THE SAME THING
HE TOLD YOU.
THAT HE FOUND THE WATCH
ON THE STREET IN BRENTWOOD.
AT LEAST HIS STORY
IS CONSISTENT.
HUH.
DON'T TELL ME.
PLEASE, LET ME GUESS.
YOU THINK IT'S POSSIBLE
THAT FRANKS' KILLER
TOOK THE WALLET AND THE WATCH,
AND THEN DECIDED TO TOSS THEM AWAY
TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A ROBBERY,
AND THAT THE KID CAME UP THE
WRONG STREET AT THE WRONG TIME.
ROBERTA, BRILLIANT DEDUCTION,
ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME AS MINE.
FORENSICS IS COMING UP
IN ABOUT AN HOUR.
YOU WANNA HANG OUT?
SURE.
JUAN LOBELL
RUN WITH YOU GUYS?
NO. JUAN
DOESN'T RUN WITH US.
HE DOESN'T RUN WITH ANYBODY.
ONLY RUNNING HE DOES
IS WITH MOTORCYCLES.
HE'S A GOOD GUY.
CHECK OUT MARCO'S GARAGE
ON SEQUOIA.
COOL.
THANK YOU, FELLAS.
THANK YOU, DOCTOR.
MAC.
FORENSICS FOUND GRAYSON FRANKS'
BLOOD ON JUAN LOBELL'S SHIRT.
WHAT? MAY I?
SORRY, MAC.
NOW, COME ON. THIS
SAYS A TRACE OF BLOOD.
IF JUAN WERE THE KILLER WE'D BE
DEALING WITH MORE THAN A TRACE.
YOU SAW FRANKS' BODY.
THE KILLER'S GONNA
BE COVERED IN HIS BLOOD.
BUT THIS TIES JUAN LOBELL
TO THE CRIME SCENE,
AND YOU KNOW THE D.A.'S GONNA
HAVE A FIELD DAY WITH THIS.
MAC, YOU'VE GOT YOUR HANDS FULL.
YEAH, WELL.
THEY'VE BEEN FULL BEFORE.
JUAN WOULDN'T DO
ANYTHING STUPID LIKE THAT.
BESIDES, HIS SISTER WOULD
KILL HIM IF HE STOLE ANYTHING.
YOU AND JUAN ARE
PRETTY GOOD FRIENDS, RIGHT?
YEAH.
HE'S GOOD WITH MOTORCYCLES?
ALMOST AS GOOD AS ME.
LOOK, JUAN TOOK A BIKE OUFOR A TEST DRIVE,
CAME BACK HERE,
THEN WENT HOME THAT NIGHT.
THAT'S ALL I KNOW.
HE'S A GOOD GUY.
ASK ANYBODY.
I WILL.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW THE
MAN YOU'RE ACCUSED OF KILLING?
EXTREMELY WELL-RESPECTED LAWYER.
THE D.A.'S OFFICE IS GONNA
WANT TO CLOSE THIS QUICK,
BRING SOMEBODY TO JUSTICE.
RIGHT NOW, THAT'S YOU.
MARIE SAID HE WAS
A FRIEND OF YOURS.
THAT TRUE?
YES, HE WAS.
THEN WHY ARE YOU HELPING ME?
BECAUSE I DON'T THINK
YOU'RE A COLD-BLOODED KILLER.
THEY CAN'T EVEN
PROVE I WAS THERE.
THEY FOUND GRAYSON FRANKS'
BLOOD ON YOUR SHIRT.
ANY IDEA HOW IT GOT THERE?
THE WATCH WAS DIRTY.
I GUESS I COULD HAVE WIPED ION MY SHIRT OR SOMETHING.
YEAH, WELL, THE D.A.
WOULD MAKE A MOCKERY OF THAT EXPLANATION.
HE WOULD SAY THATHE BLOOD ON YOUR SHIRPUT YOU AT THE CRIME SCENE.
THE WATCH IN YOUR POSSESSION
GIVES YOU MOTIVE.
THAT YOU TRIED TO ROB HIM.
IT WENT VERY, VERY BAD,
AND YOU MURDERED HIM.
THIS ISN'T HAPPENING.
NEED YOU TO CONCENTRATE.
THAT NIGHT, DID...
ANYBODY SEE YOU?
DID YOU STOP ANYWHERE,
TALK TO ANYONE?
NO. I JUSRODE THE MOTORCYCLE.
OK. WE'LL JUST HAVE
TO WORK WITH WHAT WE HAVE.
NICE BIKE.
IT'S A TRIUMPH.
SWEET RIDE.
INTERESTED?
NO. NO, NOT REALLY.
I COULD DO YOU A DEAL.
SHE'S A REAL HOTTIE.
ACTUALLY, ARE YOU BERNIE?
YEAH.
I WANTED TO TALK
TO YOU ABOUT JUAN LOBELL.
I'M ONE OF HIS ATTORNEYS.
YOU KNOW HIM, DON'T YOU?
YEAH, I KNOW HIM.
WHAT CAN YOU
TELL ME ABOUT HIM?
WHAT KIND OF KID IS HE?
HE'S A LITTLE ARROGANT,
LITTLE HEAD-STRONG,
BUT MOST OF THEM
ARE THESE DAYS.
LOOK, JUAN EATS, BREATHES,
AND LIVES MOTORCYCLES.
YOU KNOW ANY OF HIS FRIENDS?
A FEW. THEY'RE MOSTLY
OTHER BIKERS LIKE MARCO WHO...
DROOLS OVER THAT TRIUMPH.
MARCO'S THE GUY
HE WORKS WITH, RIGHT?
YEAH. YEAH, THEY DO GOOD WORK
TOGETHER, TUNING AND REPAIRING.
LOOK, I ALWAYS THOUGHT JUAN WAS
AN OK KID BEFORE THIS HAPPENED.
I TRUSTED HIM.
I EVEN LET HIM MAKE
DELIVERIES ONCE IN A WHILE.
SHOWS HOW WRONG YOU CAN BE.
WELL, I'M HOPING TO
PROVE THAT YOU'RE NOT WRONG.
YOU THINK HE'S GOT A CHANCE?
I WOULDN'T BE HERE
IF I DIDN'T.
SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I THINK JUAN WAS IN THE
WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME.
IF I'D HAVE SEEN A ROLEX LYING
ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD,
I'D HAVE PICKED IT UP, TOO.
YES, BUT YOU'D HAVE
TURNED IT INTO THE POLICE
TO TRY TO FIND ITS OWNER.
YEAH. MAYBE.
NOT SURE WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE
WHEN I WAS 18 YEARS OLD, THOUGH.
SO, YOU FOUND NO PRINTS
AT THE CRIME SCENE.
NO, BUT THE KID WAS
PROBABLY WEARING GLOVES.
NO TRACKS
FROM THE MOTORCYCLE?
NO, BUT HE COULD HAVE
PARKED THE BIKE DOWN THE STREEOR OUT OF THE WAY.
SO, HE JUST PICKED
A BIG HOUSE AND HOPED THAWHEN THE OWNER CAME HOME, HE'D
BE WEARING EXPENSIVE JEWELRY?
WHERE ARE YOU
GOING WITH THIS?
GRAYSON FRANKS
WAS STABBED 16 TIMES.
ACCORDING TO THE M.E. REPORT,
HALF THOSE WOUNDS
WERE POST MORTEM.
THAT DOESN'T SAY ROBBERY.
IT SAYS PSYCHOTIC FRENZY.
THAT DOESN'T FIT JUAN LOBELL.
SO, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
BRING IN A SHRINK TO TESTIFY?
NO. I'M GONNA BRING
IN GRAYSON FRANKS' KILLER.
SEE YOU LATER.
MAC?
LET ME KNOW IF I CAN HELP.
SURE.
ALL RIGHT,
LET'S THINK ABOUT THIS.
THINK ABOUT WHAT?
16 STAB WOUNDS.
HALF OF THEM POST MORTEM.
WHAT DOES THAT SAY TO YOU?
I DON'T KNOW. ANGER?
ANGER. YEAH.
THAT'S GOOD.
HOLD ON TO THAT.
IF YOU WERE TO ROB SOMEBODY,
HOW WOULD YOU DO IT?
WITH NO PREVIOUS
EXPERIENCE, I--
HIT 'EM. ONCE.
KNOCK 'EM DOWN.
TAKE THE WATCH. GO.
ANYBODY WHO STABS THEIR
VICTIMS REPEATEDLY LIKE THAT,
IS NOT UPSEABOUT A ROBBERY GONE WRONG.
WE GOTTA FIND OUT WHO ELSE
WANTED GRAYSON FRANKS DEAD.
TOMORROW, I WANT YOU TO STARGATHERING INFORMATION ON THE FAMILY,
CLOSE ASSOCIATES.
SHOULDN'T YOU DO THAT?
YOU-- YOU KNOW THE WHOLE FAMILY.
MAYBE NOT WELL ENOUGH.
EVERY FAMILY HAS SECRETS.
OK. I'LL
CHECK OUT THE FAMILY.
MR. NEWBERRY, ISN'T IT?
YES.
YOU'RE EARLY.
WELL-- WELL, IT'S
A THING WITH ME.
I'M IN THE MIDDLE
OF PACKING UP
SOME OF MR. FRANKS'
PERSONAL THINGS.
WE CAN TALK WHILE I WORK.
SURE. THAT'S FINE.
SO, TO WHAT DO
I OWE THIS VISIT?
I'M-- I'M HOPING
TO UNDERSTAND
GRAYSON FRANKS' STATE OF MIND
ON THE DAY THAT HE DIED.
AND YOU THINK I
CAN HELP YOU DO THAT?
YOU WERE WITH HIM
A LONG TIME.
6 YEARS.
SO, YOU KNEW
MR. FRANKS WELL THEN?
DID HE HAVE ANY ENEMIES?
NOT ANYONE
THAT I CAN THINK OF.
HOW 'BOUHIS BEHAVIOR RECENTLY?
DID HE SEEM WORRIED,
SCARED, DISTRACTED?
OTHER THAN THE TYPICAL
MALE MIDLIFE CRISIS? NO.
MIDLIFE CRISIS?
YOU KNOW, DRESSING YOUNGER,
BUYING HIMSELF
THAT FANCY SPORTS CAR.
THE SILLY THING IS WOMEN DON'CARE MUCH ABOUT A MAN'S AGE
UNTIL THEY MAKE AN ISSUE OUOF IT BY OVERCOMPENSATING.
LAST TIME I WAS HERE,
GRAYSON WAS STILL ALIVE.
AMAZING, ISN'T IT?
THE INFLUENCE THAONE HUMAN BEING CAN HAVE?
ESPECIALLY HIM.
YEAH.
I'LL MISS HIM.
ME, TOO.
MAC.
HEY.
I'M SO GLAD YOU CAME.
TRACY.
HOW YOU HOLDING UP?
TODAY'S NOT MY BEST DAY.
MAC?
DEAN.
APPRECIATE THE KIND WORDS
AT THE CHURCH,
BUT PERHAPS YOU'LL TELL ME
WHAT PROMPTED YOU
TO DEFEND DAD'S KILLER?
DEAN!
DEAN, YOUR FATHER
WAS MY FRIEND.
I JUST WANTO MAKE SURE THAJUSTICE IS SERVED TO THE
PERSON WHO REALLY DESERVES IT.
YOU HAVE DOUBTS
ABOUT THE FELLOW IN CUSTODY?
I THINK THERE ARE QUESTIONS
THAT HAVE TO BE ASKED.
AND I-- FORGIVE ME--
I BELIEVE THERE ARE QUESTIONS
YOUR FATHER WOULD HAVE ASKED.
MAYBE SO.
I'M SO SORRY.
I THINK HE'S NOT DOING
AS WELL AS HE SEEMS.
IT'S TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE.
YES.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU KEPTHAT PHOTO OF OUR FISHING TRIP.
WELL, YOU WERE
VERY SPECIAL TO HIM.
NO, HE WAS VERY PROUD OF YOU
WHEN YOU BECAME A LAWYER.
TRACY, I'M JUST-- I'M TRYING
TO GET A FULL PICTURE OF--
OF EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED
THE DAY THAT GRAYSON DIED.
WHEN DID YOU EXPECT HIM HOME?
NORMALLY AROUND 7:00,
ACCORDING TO TRAFFIC,
BUT IT WAS A TUESDAY,
AND ON TUESDAYS,
HE SAW GAIL.
WHO'S GAIL?
GAIL STANTON,
HIS CHIROPRACTOR.
HE HURT HIS BACK
ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, SKIING,
WORE A BACK BRACE--
I DID NOT KNOW THAT.
WELL, NO ONE DID.
HE DIDN'T WANT ANYONE TO.
PROBABLY HIS WORST FLAW
WAS HIS VANITY.
HAVING A BAD BACK WAS LIKE
ADMITTING HE WAS GROWING OLD.
I'M TRULY SORRY.
DON'T TELL ME ANYMORE.
LET ME TAKE A STAB AT IT.
ANOTHER WOMAN?
YOUNGER WOMAN,
IF I HAD TO GUESS.
HE BUYS A BRAND NEW SPORTS CAR,
ONE THAT MUST HAVE BEEN
VERY PAINFUL FOR HIM
TO GET IN AND OUT OF
WITH HIS BAD BACK.
AND YET, THIS REPORT SAYS HE WASN'WEARING HIS BACK BRACE THAT DAY.
SO?
SO, NOTICE HOW UN-SEXY A BACK
BRACE WOULD MAKE A MAN LOOK,
ESPECIALLY, IF HE WAS TRYING
TO IMPRESS A YOUNGER WOMAN?
YOU'RE SAYING
HE LEFT IT OFF THAT DAY
BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE
SEEN LOOKING INFIRM OR OLD?
BUT WOULDN'T THE BRACE HAVE
BEEN HIDDEN UNDER HIS SHIRT?
YES.
UNLESS HE WAS GOING
TO MEET SOMEONE
WHO WAS GOING TO SEE HIM
WITH HIS CLOTHES OFF.
SO YOUR NEW THEORY
IS A JEALOUS LOVER?
OR THE JEALOUS HUSBAND
OF A LOVER?
I DON'T THINK WE CAN RULE
OUT ENRAGED WIFE, EITHER.
NO.
THINK THIS COULD JUSBOIL DOWN TO JEALOUS RAGE?
THE MAN WAS STABBED 16 TIMES.
I KNOW THAT BUT...
YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE RIGHT,
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE DOING
HIS FAMILY ANY FAVORS
BY AIRING HIS DIRTY LAUNDRY.
I KNOW.
AND IF I DON'T, WHAT?
JUAN LOBELL GOES DOWN
FOR SOMETHING HE DIDN'T DO?
I'M GONNA GO BACK OVER
AND TALK TO TRACY.
UM, WHY DON'T YOU CALL MARIE?
SEE IF SHE HAS ANYTHING
SHE CAN ADD.
OK.
COULD USE ALL THE HELP
ON THIS ONE
WE CAN GET, YOU KNOW.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
SPEAKING OF MARIE...
WHEN WE FIRST MET HER,
SHE SAID THAT WHEN YOU WERE A KID,
YOU HAD DIFFERENT ASPIRATIONS.
WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE
WHEN YOU GREW UP?
I DON'T-- I DON'T KNOW.
I-- DON'T REMEMBER.
SEE YOU LATER.
THANK YOU, MARIA.
HOW WERE THINGS
BETWEEN YOU AND GRAYSON?
THINGS WERE AS THEY HAD ALWAYS
BEEN BETWEEN ME AND GRAYSON.
ALL RIGHT, WELL...
I HATE ASKING THE NEXT QUESTION.
THEN DON'T.
BUT IT...
IT'S GONNA COME UP
SOONER OR LATER.
I WAS AT BANLEY'S BOUTIQUE.
THEY HAD A FASHION SHOW.
THANK YOU, TRACY.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
HEY, HONEY.
HI.
HEY, DEAN.
MAC? ANY NEWS?
ACTUALLY, HE WAS
ASKING ME WHERE I WAS
THE NIGHT YOUR DAD WAS KILLED.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING.
I SUPPOSE YOU'RE GOING
TO ASK ME, TOO.
YES, AND ANYONE ELSE
WHO WAS CLOSE TO YOUR FATHER.
I WAS AT THE FAMILY PLACE
AT LAKE ARROWHEAD.
NO ONE'S USED IT MUCH
IN THE LAST FEW YEARS,
SO DAD DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO
PUT THE OLD PLACE ON THE MARKET.
SO, I SPENT SOME IN THE MORNING
WITH A REAL ESTATE AGENGOING THROUGH
THE MULTIPLE LISTINGS,
LOOKING AT RECENT SALES
IN THE AREA.
I WAS REMINISCING OVER
THE FUN TIMES WE HAD THERE.
I LEFT AT 7:00...
AND GOT BACK WELL AFTER...
IT HAPPENED.
THANK YOU, DEAN.
BELIEVE ME, I KNOW HOW, UM...
HOW VERY TOUGH THIS IS
ON BOTH OF YOU.
HE CAME TO WORK.
LEFT AT 4:30 TO SEE HIS CHIROPRACTOR.
YES.
IS THAT THE SUIHE WORE TO WORK THAT DAY?
YES.
SO, HE CHANGED HIS CLOTHES?
INTO SOMETHING MORE CASUAL.
NOTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT THAT.
HE ALWAYS DID,
UNLESS HE WAS MEETING A CLIENT.
THIS IS GRAYSON'S BACK BRACE.
YES.
ANY IDEA
WHAT IT'S DOING HERE?
I THOUGHT HE HAD
TO WEAR IT ALL THE TIME
BECAUSE OF HIS SKIING ACCIDENT.
I GUESS
HE DIDN'T WEAR IT.
MRS. FRANKS SAID HIS
CHIROPRACTOR'S NAME IS GAIL STANTON.
DO YOU HAVE HER NUMBER?
SURE.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
HOW MANY YEARS IT'S BEEN
SINCE WE'VE
SEEN EACH OTHER.
TOO MANY.
OOH! I'M JUST SORRY IT HAD TO
BE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.
LISTEN,
I WANTED YOU TO KNOW
THAT MAC AND I ARE GIVING
THIS CASE OUR FULL ATTENTION.
I JUSWANTED YOU TO KNOW
THAT I MEWITH JUAN'S FRIEND MARCO?
AND IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT YOU
CAN THINK OF THAT I SHOULD TALK TO?
TALK TO ANYONE, THEY'LL TELL
YOU JUAN'S A GOOD KID.
WE LIVE IN A BAD
NEIGHBORHOOD,
BUT I'VE SPENEVERY DAY OF JUAN'S LIFE
TRYING TO KEEP HIM OUT OF
THIS KIND OF TROUBLE.
DID YOU SEE JUAN
THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER?
YES, HE WAS WORKING
AT THE SHOP THAT DAY.
HE WAS HOME
BEFORE I WENT TO BED.
ABOUT WHAT TIME
WAS THAT?
A LITTLE AFTER 10:00,
I THINK.
DID HE TELL YOU
ABOUT THE WATCH?
DID HE SEEM UPSEABOUT ANYTHING?
HE NEVER TOLD ME
ABOUT THE WATCH.
HE WAS
A LITTLE STRANGE.
HE DIDN'DO IT, PHIL.
YOU HAVE TO HELP HIM.
WE'RE DOING
EVERYTHING WE CAN.
WOULD YOU BE
MR. McBRIDE?
JUST AS IT SAYS ON THE
DOOR.
DR. STANTON,
I PRESUME?
I DO APPRECIATE YOU FITTING ME
IN.
I DON'T KNOW
MANY CHIROPRACTORS
WHO MAKE
HOUSE CALLS.
WELL, MANY OF MY
CLIENTS ARE VERY BUSY PEOPLE.
THEY HAVE LITTLE SPARE TIME
AND THEY DON'WANT TO WASTE IDRIVING BACK AND FORTH
TO MY OFFICE.
NOR SHOULD THEY HAVE TO.
WHERE WOULD YOU
LIKE ME TO SET UP?
UM, YES. WELL...
I'M SORRY, BUI BROUGHT YOU HERE
UNDER
FALSE PRETENSES.
I DON'T KNOW WHAYOU THINK, MR. McBRIDE,
BUT I'M A CHIROPRACTOR,
NOT SOME BACK ROOM MASSEUSE.
NO!
LORD, NO. NOTHING LIKE THAT.
I DON'T...
I JUST WANTED
TO TALK TO YOU...
ABOUT GRAYSON FRANKS?
WHY WOULD I TELL YOU
ANYTHING ABOUT GRAYSON?
GRAYSON WAS A VERY CLOSE
FRIEND OF MINE
AND I JUSWANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE PERSON
RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS MURDER
IS BROUGHTO JUSTICE.
WELL, YOU COULD HAVE
TOLD ME THABEFORE I LUGGED THIS
ALL THE WAY FROM THE CAR.
YES, YOU'RE RIGHT. I'M
SORRY.
MAY I? I JUST THOUGHWE COULD...
TALK HERE
MORE PRIVATELY.
WOW! YOU'RE STRONG.
UM, WOULD YOU LIKE A-- SOME
COFFEE?
SURE.
I TAKE IT BLACK.
OK.
IF YOU WOULD SIT THERE,
PLEASE.
GRAYSON WAS A GOOD MAN
WHO WAS IN A LOT OF PAIN
FROM TIME TO TIME.
I JUST CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER
IF HE'D STILL BE ALIVE
IF HE DIDN'T CUT SHORT OUR
SESSION THAT DAY.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
WHAT TIME
DID HE LEAVE YOU
ON THE DAY THAT HE WAS
MURDERED?
HE ARRIVED AT ABOUT 5:00
AND WAS GONE BY 5:30.
WIDENS THE GAP.
WHAT GAP?
THE TIME BETWEEN 5:30, WHEN
GRAYSON LEFT YOU
AND 8:15
WHEN HE WAS KILLED.
DR. STANTON, WAS YOUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH GRAYSON
STRICTLY PROFESSIONAL?
I BEG YOUR PARDON?
SORRY FOR BEING
SO BLUNT.
BUT...
WHAT I HAVE RECENTLY LEARNED
ABOUT GRAYSON'S PERSONAL BEHAVIOR,
AND THE MYSTERY OF THE
TIMELINE OF HIS WHEREABOUTS
FROM WHEN HE LEFT YOU TO THE
TIME HE WAS KILLED,
CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE LEFTIME FOR A, UM--
A TRYST?
WOULDN'T HAPPEN
TO BE YOU, WOULD IT?
IT HAD BEEN.
BUT IT ENDED
OVER A YEAR AGO.
WHO ENDED IT?
GRAYSON.
HE SAID THAT IT WAS
BECAUSE OF HIS WIFE.
HE TOLD ME HE COULDN'T LIVE
WITH THE GUILT ANYMORE.
YOU BELIEVED HIM?
NOT FOR A MINUTE.
SO, YOU THINK HE STOPPED
SEEING YOU
FOR ANOTHER
ANOTHER WOMAN?
ABSOLUTELY.
HE WOULDN'T ADMIT IT,
BUT I KNEW.
ANY IDEA WHO SHE WAS?
NOPE.
WEREN'T YOU ANGRY AT ALL THAHE LEFT YOU FOR SOMEONE ELSE?
NOT AT ALL.
I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS
GETTING INTO FROM THE START.
HE WAS
AN EXCITING LOVER
AND HE ENDED UP BECOMING
A REALLY GOOD FRIEND.
AND I STAYED ON
AS HIS DOCTOR.
ANY IDEA WHERE HE MAY
HAVE GONE WITH HIS, UM...
NEW GIRLFRIEND?
WELL, SOMETIMES
HE'D TAKE ME
TO THE COMPANY APARTMENIN THE MARINA.
THROW OUT THAT LINE!
FANCY MEETING YOU HERE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I WAS JUST ABOUTO ASK YOU THE SAME THING.
THIS IS
A COMPANY APARTMENT.
SO, IF I MENTION
THIS PLACE TO TRACY FRANKS,
SHE WOULD KNOW ABOUT IT?
NO, SHE WOULDN'T.
RIGHT.
THAT'S BECAUSE GRAYSON USED IFOR, UM...
SHALL WE SAY,
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES?
HOW DID YOU KNOW?
LEARNING A LOABOUT MY OLD FRIEND.
WAS IT YOU?
WAS WHAT ME?
THE EXTRACURRICULAR
ACTIVITY.
NO.
SO...
YOU'RE, UM, CLOSING THE
PLACE UP?
THERE'S NO REASON FOR HIS WIFE
TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE APARTMENT.
GRAYSON'S DEAD, AND I'D
LIKE TO PRESERVE HIS MEMORY
AS THE WONDERFUL MAN
THAT HE WAS.
I, TOO, WOULD RATHER GRAYSON
BE REMEMBERED
FOR ALL OF THE POSITIVE
THINGS HE DID TO HELP PEOPLE.
THANK YOU.
BUT...
YOU'VE GOTTA BE
COMPLETELY HONEST WITH ME.
WHAT DO YOU
WANT TO KNOW?
WHO HIS MOST RECENT MISTRESS
WAS.
HOW LONG HAD IBEEN GOING ON?
I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE,
BUT I HAD SUSPICIONS
ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO.
IN THE OFFICE.
I WAS LOOKING THROUGH SOME
INVOICES TO GIVE TO DEAN
WHEN I CAME ACROSS
A DELIVERY RECEIPFOR A RED DRESS
FROM BANLEY BOUTIQUE.
AND IT WASN'T FOR TRACY?
I DO ALL OF GRAYSON'S
GIFT-BUYING FOR TRACY.
COULDN'T HAVE BEEN
A SPECIAL PURCHASE
THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT?
IF IT WAS FOR TRACY,
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DELIVERED TO
THE HOUSE.
AND WHERE WAS
THE DRESS DELIVERED?
HERE.
HE MUST HAVE BOUGHT THIS FOR
SOMEBODY VERY SPECIAL.
IS IT SO IMPORTANTO KNOW WHO SHE IS?
IT'S OVER.
GRAYSON'S DEAD.
THIS WOMAN COULD HOLD THE
KEY
TO WHO KILLED GRAYSON,
KATHY.
Man, yelling: HONEY! COME
ON!
THEY'RE VERY TOUGH
ON PARKING AROUND HERE
UNLESS YOU HAVE
A RESIDENT'S PERMIT.
THAT'S WHY I'M PARKED AROUND THE
BLOCK.
GREAT.
HEY, PHIL.
ALL RIGHT. SO,
I'VE GOT A, TASK
THAT NEEDS
A WOMAN'S TOUCH.
I'M NOT AN EXPERON DRESSES.
OK, WELL, JUST LEAVE
EVERYTHING TO ME.
OK.
MAY I HELP YOU?
I HOPE SO.
I'M LOOKING
FOR A RED DRESS
AND I'M SURE I SAW ONE
IN HERE A WEEK OR SO AGO.
I THINK I KNOW JUST THE ONE
YOU MEAN.
IT'S A DeCOURS.
HE'S VERY EXCLUSIVE.
IN FACT, THIS IS
A LIMITED EDITION.
WE ONLY HAD 3,
AND THIS IS
THE LAST ONE.
IT WOULD LOOK
BEAUTIFUL ON YOU.
THE PERFECT COMPLIMENT TO
THE PERFECT ROMANTIC EVENING.
HA HA.
I'D HATE TO RUN
INTO SOMEONE I KNOW WEARING IT.
YOU SAID YOU SOLD THE OTHER
2?
TO WHOM? I MEAN,
IT WOULD BE VERY EMBARRASSING
IF IT TURNED OUT TO BE
FRIENDS OF MINE.
I'M SORRY. THAT WOULD BE
PRIVATE INFORMATION.
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL,
BUT I WOULD DIE IF I RAN INTO
A FRIEND OF OURS WEARING IT.
LET'S GO.
BUT JUST BETWEEN US, OK?
ONE WAS SOLD
TO GRAYSON FRANKS,
AND THE OTHER
TO TRACY FRANKS.
I-- I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR
PREOCCUPATION WITH THIS DRESS.
REALLY, IS ITHAT IMPORTANT?
WELL, IT COULD BE.
MAYBE.
SO, YOU BOUGHTHE DRESS FOR YOURSELF?
YES. YES, I SAW IIN A WINDOW.
I WENT BACK TO GET IT.
END OF STORY.
DID YOU PAY CASH?
I USED MY PERSONAL
CREDIT CARD.
IT WAS A SURPRISE
FOR GRAYSON.
HE LOVES RED.
WE WERE GOING TO HAVE
A SPECIAL DINNER.
I WAS GOING TO WEAR IT.
AND HE NEVER SAW IT.
HI, MR. McBRIDE.
HI.
TRACY, I THINK IT'S
ABOUT TIME
WE LEFFOR THE LAWYERS'.
DEAN WILL
MEET US THERE.
LAWYERS?
READING THE WILL.
IT'S-- IT'S
JUST A FORMALITY.
HE LEFT EVERYTHING TO ME.
MAC...
UM...
I JUST-- I WANTED TO ASK YOU
IF YOU COULD HELP ME.
NO, I MEAN, GRAYSON TOOK
CARE OF EVERYTHING LEGALLY,
BUT I DON'HAVE ANYONE I TRUST.
I-- I WOULD-- I WOULD REALLY
LIKE YOU TO-- TO HELP ME--
UM, RIGHT NOW,
THAT WOULD BE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST,
CONSIDERING I'M REPRESENTING THE
MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING HIM.
I UNDERSTAND THAT.
AFTER THE TRIAL?
YES, PLEASE.
WE COULD HAVE LUNCH
AND DISCUSS THINGS.
SURE.
OK.
THANK YOU.
DETECTIVE HANSEN.
HEY, ROBERTA.
HEY. ANY SUSPECTS YET?
SEVERAL.
WHAT DO YOU NEED?
AM I
THAT TRANSPARENT?
YES. I KNOW YOU, MAC.
NO HIDDEN AGENDA.
WELL, GOOD.
UM, DO ME A FAVOR
AND RUN A TRACE
ON ANY PARKING TICKETS GIVEN FOR
THE 16000 BLOCK
OF UNION JACK MALL
IN MARINA DEL REY
OVER, SAY,
THE LAST MONTH.
YOU KNOW, AND JUST DO
NON-MOVING VIOLATIONS.
LET ME KNOW
WHEN YOU GET SOMETHING.
OK, MAC.
BYE.
BYE.
YOU DON'T BUY A WOMAN
A BRAND NEW DRESS
JUST TO RIP IT OFF
OF HER, DO YOU?
YOU BUY IT TO TAKE HER OUSOMEWHERE FIRST.
EXCUSE ME?
YOU KEPT A RECORD OF ALL OF
GRAYSON'S RESTAURANT CHARGES, YES?
YES, OF COURSE.
AND DID HE KEEP
A PERSONAL DAYPLANNER?
YES.
BUT I THOUGHWE WERE DONE HERE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAHAS TO DO WITH ANYTHING.
PLENTY, MAYBE.
I DON'T KNOW.
MAY I SEE IT?
THANK YOU.
NOW, WHAT I
WOULD LIKE TO DO
IS CROSS REFERENCE ANY ENTRIES
HE MAY HAVE MADE IN HERE
WITH RECORDS YOU HAVE
IN YOUR COMPUTER.
OK.
THANKS.
FIRST, WE HAVE THE EIGHTH.
THE GARDEN ROOM.
SHAFER AND SHAFER, CLIENTS.
12th AND THE 14th, FUJIYAMA'S.
CLIENTS.
23rd, DONATELLO'S.
TRACY,
DEAN, ROCHELLE.
IT WAS
FOR ROCHELLE'S BIRTHDAY.
ALSO ON THE 23rd, THE 1910.
I DON'T HAVE
AN ENTRY FOR THAT.
THE 1910. I DON'KNOW THAT. WHAT IS IT?
A RESTAURANON WAVERLY.
IT'S ABOUT 10 MINUTES FROM
GRAYSON'S CONDO.
IT'S VERY DISCREET.
YOU CAN RESERVE
A PRIVATE DINING ROOM.
REALLY?
MAY I USE YOUR PHONE?
HEY, PHIL.
HAVE YOU HAD LUNCH YET?
YOU WANT TO TAKE
LINE 4, DETECTIVE?
DETECTIVE HANSEN.
WHAT?
WHEN DID IT COME IN?
GET A WARRANT.
THEY'RE GONNA CONVICT ME
I KNOW IT.
I'M GONNA DO MY BEST,
ALL RIGHT?
TO MAKE SURE
THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
ALL RIGHT,
I KNOW THIS IS BORING,
BUT I WANT TO GO OVER IONE MORE TIME.
WHERE DID YOU GO
AFTER YOU TOOK
THE MOTORCYCLE
OUT FOR A RIDE?
I WENT HOME.
ASK MY SISTER. SHE SAYS SHE
CAN'T SLEEP
TILL SHE KNOWS I'M SAFE IN THE
HOUSE.
SO YOU RODE
THE BIKE HOME?
NO.
IT'S
THE CUSTOMER'S BIKE.
I MEAN, I SHOULDN'T HAVE
EVEN HAD IT OUT THAT LONG.
ACTUALLY, I RODE IT BACK TO THE
GARAGE.
SO, YOU WERE
IN THE GARAGE ALONE?
NO. MARCO WAS WAITING FOR
ME TO BRING THE BIKE BACK.
HEY, MAN.
HOW'D IT GO, HUH?
THE BIKE, BRO.
THE BIKE.
WE TUNE HER GOOD?
AW, YEAH, MARCO.
REAL SMOOTH.
LOOK, I GOTTA GO.
MY SISTER'S GONNA BE ON MY CASE
IF I'M NOT IN BY 10:00.
COOL.
ALL RIGHT, MAN.
I'LL LOCK UP.
I KNOW HOW PEOPLE LOOK AME, MR. McBRIDE.
IT'S LIKE, NO MATTER WHAT I SAY
OR DO,
THIS JURY'S STILL
GOING TO LOOK AT ME
LIKE I'M SOME PUNK
IN A GANG.
BUT I WOULD NEVER,
EVER KILL SOMEONE.
LEAST OF ALL,
OVER SOME WATCH.
AND THAT IS WHAI'M GOING TO PROVE.
OK?
I HOPE SO, SIR.
OK.
MORE DETAILS.
MARCO.
REMEMBER ME?
DETECTIVE HANSEN?
SURE. WHAT'S UP?
I'VE GOT A WARRANTO SEARCH
JUAN LOBELL'S TOOL CHEST.
WHAT FOR?
JUST SHOW ME
THE TOOL CHEST.
IT'S RIGHT HERE
NEXT TO THE WALL.
YOU GOT A KEY FOR THIS?
NO, JUAN HAS
THE ONLY ONE.
YOU WANT ME
TO BREAK IT FOR YOU?
NO, WE'LL HANDLE THAT. GO
AHEAD, SEAN.
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE
GOING TO FIND IN THERE?
JUST TOOLS, I HOPE.
THERE YOU GO.
HEY, PHIL.
HEY, MAC.
ANYTHING INTERESTING?
WELL, THE MAITRE D'
AT THE 1910 CONFIRMED
THAT GRAYSON FRANKS DID INDEED
HAVE DINNER THERE ON THE 23rd
AND HE WAS WITH A WOMAN.
COULD HE DESCRIBE
HER?
SHE WAS WEARING A RED
DRESS, UM, DARK GLASSES,
AND A RED HEAD SCARF.
HE COULDN'T EVEN REALLY SEE
THE COLOR OF HER HAIR.
YOU THINK THAT'S
THE DRESS FROM BANLEY'S?
HAS TO BE.
I'M BEGINNING TO THINK THIS
WOMAN IS A PHANTOM.
SO--
WE'LL FINISH THIS LATER.
I'VE GOT ROBERTA
ON THE OTHER LINE.
HI, ROBERTA.
MAC.
YOU'D BETTER GEOVER HERE RIGHT AWAY.
WE NEED TO TALK
IN PERSON.
OK. FINE. I'LL
BE RIGHT DOWN.
AN EXACT MATCH TO GRAYSON
FRANKS' WOUNDS
AND IT'S GOHIS BLOOD ON IT.
DEFINITELY
THE MURDER WEAPON.
YOU FOUND THIS
IN JUAN'S TOOLBOX?
AFRAID SO.
ANY PRINTS?
NOPE.
WIPED CLEAN.
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN
THE D.A. WHEN HE FOUND OUT.
LOOKED LIKE HE'D JUSSCORED THE WINNING TOUCHDOWN.
HOW DID YOU KNOW WHERE TO
LOOK?
WE GOT A TIP.
FROM WHO?
AN ANONYMOUS CALLER.
THAT'S CONVENIENT.
AN ANONYMOUS CALLER TELLS
YOU THAT THE MURDER WEAPON
IS IN MY
CLIENT'S TOOLBOX.
I DON'T KNOW, MAC.
MAYBE JUAN LOBELL
WAS FOOLISH ENOUGH
TO BRAG ABOUWHAT HE'D DONE
TO ONE OF HIS
FELLOW GANG MEMBERS.
JUAN DOESN'BELONG TO A GANG.
THAT DOESN'T MATTER, MAC.
THE D.A. IS GONNA
TELL THE JURY
THAT NOT ONLY
WAS JUAN LOBELL CAUGHTRYING TO PAWN
THE VICTIM'S WATCH,
BUT THATHE MURDER WEAPON
WAS FOUND
AMONG HIS BELONGINGS.
AND DON'T FORGET FRANKS'
BLOOD ON LOBELL'S SHIRT.
THAT WAS ON THE WATCH.
HE THOUGHT IT WAS DIRTY.
HE WIPED IT OFF
ON HIS SHIRT.
PLEASE.
GOOD LUCK GETTING
THE JURY TO BELIEVE THAT.
WHAT? THEY'RE
SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE
THAT HE DISPOSED
OF THE WALLET,
TRIED TO HOCK THE WATCH,
WIPED THE FINGERPRINTS OFF THE
HANDLE OF THE MURDER WEAPON,
DIDN'T THROW IT AWAY,
DIDN'T EVEN REMOVE
ANY OF THE BLOOD,
AND THEN PUT IIN HIS OWN TOOLBOX?
NO. THAT DOESN'T FLY.
THERE COULDN'T BE
A KNIFE IN MY TOOLBOX.
WHY WOULD I PUA KNIFE IN MY TOOLBOX?
WELL, THAT'S WHERE
THE POLICE FOUND IT,
COVERED
IN GRAYSON FRANKS' BLOOD.
I DON'T KNOW WHO THADEAD GUY IS
OR ANYTHING ABOUT HIM.
WHO'S DOING THIS
TO ME?
YOU TRIED
TO HOCK HIS WATCH.
YOU'RE
THE EASIEST TARGET.
I'M SORRY
I EVER FOUND IT.
LET ME
ASK YOU SOMETHING.
HOW GOOD A FRIEND
IS MARCO?
THE BEST.
WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR
YEARS.
YOU THINK HE PUT THAT KNIFE IN
MY TOOLBOX?
DON'T BE CRAZY.
YOU KNOW, THE POLICE
HAD TO CUT THE LOCK OFF.
DOES MARCO HAVE A KEY?
NO.
WE USE
SEPARATE TOOLBOXES.
WOULDN'T THINK
A LOCK LIKE THAWOULD BE
TOO HARD TO PICK.
WAIT A MINUTE.
A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO,
WE STUMBLED ACROSS THIS GUY WHO
HAD LOST HIS MOTORCYCLE KEY.
MARCO UNLOCKED IIN 15 SECONDS.
I MEAN, HE EVEN STARTED THE BIKE
FOR HIM
SO HE COULD RIDE IT HOME TO HIS
SPARE KEY.
NAH.
MARCO WOULDN'T DO THAT. HE'S MY
BOY.
TELL YOU WHAT.
LET'S MAKE SURE OF THAT.
MARCO.
REMEMBER ME?
JUAN'S LAWYER.
HOW'S HE DOING?
WELL, HE'D BE DOING A LOBETTER
IF HE WEREN'T BEING BLAMED
FOR SOMETHING HE DIDN'T DO.
YOU FOUND THE MURDER WEAPON,
DIDN'T YOU?
NO.
NO, NO, NO.
THE COPS DID.
IT WAS SITTING HERE
THE WHOLE TIME.
I HAD NO IDEA.
THIS IS THE,
TRIUMPH FROM BERNIE'S.
YEAH, YEAH. I BOUGHT IA FEW DAYS AGO.
WOW!
ISN'T IT, LIKE,
20 GRAND FOR THIS THING?
NAH, I BEAT 'EM
DOWN TO 17.
BUSINESS MUST BE GOOD.
I DO OK.
SO, YOU SOLD THE RED
TRIUMPH RECENTLY, RIGHT?
YEAH, I SOLD ITO MARCO 3 DAYS AGO.
DID HE GIVE YOU
A SIZABLE DOWN PAYMENT?
NO DOWN PAYMENT.
HE PAID CASH.
HE PAID CASH
FOR THE WHOLE THING?
DID IT SURPRISE YOU THAT HE
HAD THAT MUCH MONEY ON HIM?
HEY, IF SOMEBODY WAVES
$17,000 UNDER MY NOSE,
I DON'T ASK QUESTIONS.
THANKS.
THERE'S NO WAY
MARCO DELGADO'S
EVER GONNA TELL US WHERE HE
GOT THAT MUCH MONEY.
ESPECIALLY IF
IT WAS A PAYOFF
FOR PLANTING THE KNIFE
IN JUAN'S TOOLBOX.
MARCO AND JUAN
ARE FRIENDS.
SOMETIMES MONEY MAKES
A BETTER FRIEND.
HOW DO WE GEMARCO TO TALK?
WHERE WE LIVE, THERE'S
A STRONG GANG CULTURE.
THEY COVETHEIR TERRITORY
AND KEEP A SHARP EYE
ON WHATEVER GOES ON WITHOUPERMISSION.
I HAVE AN IDEA.
HEY, MARCO.
HOW'S IT GOING?
IT'S OK.
IT'S ONLY GOING OK?
I HEAR
YOU SCORED BIG.
NICE BIKE.
THE ONE BERNIE
HAD FOR SALE.
WHERE'D YOU GETHE MONEY FOR IT?
THAT'S NONE
OF YOUR BUSINESS.
IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD,
EVERYTHING IS MY BUSINESS.
I ASKED BERNIE.
HE SAID
YOU PAID 17 LARGE.
IN CASH.
SO WHAT?
SO, WHERE'D YOU GET THAMUCH MONEY?
YOU GOT SOMETHING GOING IN
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
THAT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT?
SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T THINK
TO SHARE WITH ME?
I DON'T LIKE BEING LEFT OUIN THE COLD, MARCO.
IT MAKES ME LOOK BAD.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I WANT A PERCENTAGE
OF WHAT YOU'RE MAKING.
YOU NUTS?
THAT'S EXTORTION!
CONSIDER IT PROTECTION
SO NO ONE DAMAGES
YOUR NEW--
NO, DON'T! DON'T!
I DID SOMEONE A FAVOR.
FOR 17 LARGE?
MUST'VE BEEN SOME FAVOR!
WHO IS
THIS "SOMEONE"?
MAYBE I COULD DO HIM A
FAVOR, TOO.
I DON'T KNOW.
I DIDN'T MEET ANYONE!
THERE WAS JUST A VOICE
ON THE PHONE.
MAN OR WOMAN?
I DON'T KNOW.
IT WAS DISGUISED.
HOW ABOUWHEN THEY PAID YOU?
IT WAS DROPPED OFF.
A TRASH CAN IN THE PARK.
THEY PUT 17 GRAND
IN A TRASH CAN FOR YOU?
NOW THAT I THINK OF IT, MAYBE
IT'S THE ENGINE THAT'S WRONG.
25! THEY GAVE ME
25 GRAND, ALL RIGHT?
I STILL HAVE 8.
I'LL SPLIT IT WITH YOU.
JUST DON'T HURT THE BIKE.
SPLIT IT?!
YOU HELD OUON ME, MARCO.
I'LL TAKE IT ALL.
CONSIDER IT A LESSON NOT TO HOLD
OUT ON ME AGAIN.
I'LL BE BACK
IN THE MORNING.
TO COLLECT.
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
UNDERSTAND?
YEAH.
GOOD.
THANKS, PUNCH.
FOR YOU, MARIE, ANYTIME.
JUAN'S A GOOD GUY.
CAN YOU STOP
PACING, PLEASE?
YOU'RE MAKING
ME NERVOUS.
THEN HURRY UP.
LOOK AT THIS LIST.
I'M SUPPOSED TO HACK INTO EVERY
SINGLE ONE OF THESE BANK ACCOUNTS?
WELL, HOW ARE WE
GONNA FIND OUWHICH ONE WITHDREW
$25,000 FROM THEIR ACCOUNIN THE LAST COUPLE
OF WEEKS?
COULDN'T WE JUST GO BACK
AND LEAN ON MARCO SOME MORE?
I MEAN, DO YOU KNOW
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO ME
IF I GET CAUGHT HACKING INTO
BANKING SYSTEMS?
YOU KNOW WHAT?
WE'LL TELL 'EM
YOU WERE TRYING TO OPEN
AN ECONOLINE AND GOT LOST.
COME ON. BESIDES,
YOU'RE GOOD ENOUGH NOT TO GET CAUGHT.
AND EVEN IF WE CAN'T USE
WHAT WE FIND IN COURT,
IT COULD VERY WELL
POINT TO GRAYSON'S KILLER.
THIS IS GONNA TAKE
A LOT OF TIME.
TRIAL STARTS MONDAY.
THEN I HAVE TILL SUNDAY NIGHT.
THIS AFTERNOON.
WE'VE GOT TO GET BACK
TO THE GARAGE
AND CONVINCE MARCO
TO TESTIFY
THAT HE WAS PAID TO PUTHE KNIFE IN JUAN'S TOOLBOX.
WELL, YOU'RE QUITE THE
MOTIVATOR.
WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE MARCO
DECIDED TO TAKE A HIKE.
NOW WHAT DO WE DO?
WELL, HE'S RIDING
A RED TRIUMPH.
SHOULDN'T BE
TOO HARD TO FIND.
LOOK. DO ME A FAVOR.
CALL ROBERTA.
ASK HER TO PUT OUT AN A.P.B.
FOR OUR FRIEND MARCO.
I AM GOING
TO GO VISIT TRACY
AND BRACE HER
FOR WHAT'S IN STORE.
WHAT IS IN STORE?
EXPOSING
HER LATE HUSBAND,
SOMEONE I ADMIRED,
AS AN ADULTERER.
ECCH.
IT'LL BE QUIETER
IN HERE.
SO, THIS ISN'A SOCIAL CALL, HUH?
TOO BAD.
GRAYSON WOULD HAVE LOVED
KNOWING YOU WERE TAKING
GOOD CARE OF ME.
PLEASE?
THANK YOU.
NO MORE QUESTIONS?
NO.
GOOD.
I'M VERY SORRY THAT I
HAVE TO DO THIS, TRACY,
BUT I'M GOING
TO NEED TO EXPOSE
GRAYSON'S PHILANDERING
IN COURT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
TRACY.
HE WAS UNFAITHFUL TO YOU,
BUT YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT.
BELIEVE ME, IF THERE WAS ANY
OTHER WAY--
HOW DID YOU KNOW?
THE RED DRESS.
MRS. FRANKS.
HELLO.
WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
I'M GREAT, THANK YOU.
DON'T YOU
JUST LOVE THIS DRESS?
I BET IT LOOKS
GORGEOUS ON YOU.
YOUR HUSBAND
HAS EXQUISITE TASTE.
YES, HE ALWAYS DID.
WHAT CAN I GEFOR YOU TODAY?
WELL, ACTUALLY,
UM, THIS.
IT'S FOR
MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW.
SHE'S GOING
TO ITALY WITH DEAN
AND I REALLY THOUGHT SHE
MIGHT LIKE
TO KIND OF
SHOW THIS OFF.
HOW ROMANTIC.
YES, THIS DRESS
CERTAINLY DOES SAY ROMANCE,
DOESN'T IT?
SO, WAS THAT A--
WHAT A SIGNAL?
A WARNING TO HIM?
YES.
MAC.
PLEASE. NO.
IF NOT FOR ME,
FOR GRAYSON.
THE LAST THING IN THE WORLD I
WANT TO DO
IS TARNISH GRAYSON'S
REPUTATION, TRACY,
BUT THERE IS A YOUNG MAN'S LIFE
AT STAKE.
I KNOW, BUT WHAT'S IGOING TO PROVE?
THAT GRAYSON WASN'T KILLED
FOR HIS ROLEX.
OR HIS WALLET.
THAT IT WAS
A CRIME OF PASSION,
AND THAT PROBABLY, IT WAS
SOMEONE CLOSE TO HIM.
HOW DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT THE
DRESS?
KATHY TOLD ME.
KATHY?
SHE HAD SEEN
THE DELIVERY RECEIPWHEN SHE WAS DEALING
WITH HIS EXPENSES.
AND THEN SHE PHONED YOU TO
TELL YOU THAT?
SHE DID.
HELLO?
Kathy, on phone: HI, TRACY. IT'S
KATHY.
HELLO, KATHY.
WHAT'S UP?
I JUST HAD TO CALL YOU AND
ASK WHEN ARE YOU GONNA WEAR IT?
I CAN'T WAITO SEE THAT DRESS.
I'M SURE IT'S EXQUISITE.
UM, WHAT DRESS?
THE NEW DRESS GRAYSON BOUGHFOR YOU AT BANLEY'S.
THE RED DeCOURS?
HE'S SUCH
A GREAT DESIGNER.
I CAN'T WAITO SEE YOU IN IT.
MY GOSH.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN
A SURPRISE,
AND NOW
I'VE RUINED IT.
I'M SO SORRY.
THE RECEIPT SAYS IT WAS
DELIVERED 2 WEEKS AGO.
I THOUGHT HE WOULD HAVE
GIVEN IT TO YOU BY NOW.
DID THAT MAKE YOU ANGRY?
NOT REALLY.
AFTER 30 YEARS OF INFIDELITY,
YOU GET USED TO IT.
I'M SICK AND TIRED OF
YOU NOT TRUSTING ME.
THEN GIVE ME
ONE REASON WHY I SHOULD.
HA! THIS
ISN'T JEALOUSY.
THIS IS
OUTRIGHT PARANOIA.
FAMILY MISUNDERSTANDING?
IT STARTED
ON THE PHONE.
AGAIN.
DEAN HUNG UP
ON ROCHELLE,
SHE CAME DOWN HERE--
AGAIN--
TO TRY TO EXPLAIN.
EXPLAIN? WHAT?
HE THINKS
SHE'S CHEATING ON HIM.
SEEMS
TO BE CATCHING.
SHE COME
AROUND HERE OFTEN?
SHE USED
TO COME BY HERE
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE
TO SEE DEAN.
IF HE WASN'T HERE,
SHE'D POP IN
AND SAY HELLO
TO GRAYSON.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH AN
IMPOSSIBLY JEALOUS HUSBAND?
MAKE SURE I ALWAYS HAD
A CAST IRON ALIBI.
THAT'S EXACTLY THE KIND
OF THING GRAYSON WOULD SAY.
ROCHELLE!
SHE WENT THAT-A-WAY.
DOESN'T MATTER.
JUST A SMALL
FAMILY DISCUSSION.
WE'LL FINISH IT LATER.
THAT'S WHAT'S GREAT ABOUMARITAL CONFLICTS.
SINGLE PEOPLE ARGUE,
BUT MARRIED PEOPLE
JUST HAVE DISCUSSIONS.
RIGHT.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
WELL, DEAN, ACTUALLY,
I CAME BY TO SEE KATHY.
LOOK, McBRIDE, I KNOW
YOU'RE JUST DOING YOUR JOB
DEFENDING THAT YOUNG MAN.
I RESPECT THAT.
DAD WOULD HAVE
DONE THE SAME.
BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN
I HAVE TO LIKE IT.
WHAT DO YOU WANT,
MR. McBRIDE?
UM...
THE CONDO.
HOW DID YOU KNOW
THAT GRAYSON USED IFOR THINGS
OTHER THAN CLIENTS?
I WAS
HIS PERSONAL ASSISTANT.
MAINTAINING IT WAS
MY RESPONSIBILITY.
HOW PERSONAL?
WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING?
MAY I BE DIRECT?
MORE DIRECT THAN USUAL?
DID YOU HAVE AN AFFAIR
WITH GRAYSON?
THAT'S NOT DIRECT,
MR. McBRIDE.
THAT'S DISRESPECTFUL.
I TAKE THAT AS A "YES."
NO, YOU CAN TAKE THAAS "I'M NOT GONNA DIGNIFY
THIS QUESTION
"WITH A RESPONSE."
KATHY, LISTEN TO ME.
AN INNOCENT YOUNG MAN IS
GOING TO GO TO DEATH ROW
UNLESS I CAN FIND OUT WHO
KILLED GRAYSON.
WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO
WITH EXPOSING HIS PERSONAL LIFE?
EVERYTHING!
GRAYSON WAS NOT MURDERED
OVER SOME ROBBERY.
IT WAS
A CRIME OF PASSION.
SOMEONE HE WAS INVOLVED
WITH,
OR SOMEONE CONNECTED TO THAPERSON KILLED HIM.
I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I FIND
THEM.
YOU SOUND
JUST LIKE GRAYSON.
IT WAS EXTRAORDINARY.
HE WAS TENDER...
EXCITING...
FUNNY.
YOU KNEW THE MAN.
HMPH.
I THOUGHT I DID.
WELL...
IT MUST HAVE BEEN TOUGH ON YOU
CONTINUING TO WORK WITH HIM
WHEN YOU KNEW HE WAS SEEING SOMEONE
ELSE AND HAD STOPPED SEEING YOU.
WHO SAID IT STOPPED?
WHAT ABOUT HIS WIFE?
TRACY NEVER KNEW.
I WOULDN'T BE
SO SURE ABOUT THAT.
DO YOU KNOW WHO HE WAS
SEEING WHEN HE WAS KILLED?
OR HAD HE
COME BACK TO YOU?
HE WAS SEEING
SOMEONE ELSE.
I DON'T KNOW WHO SHE WAS.
HE-- HE WOULD COOL IWITH ME
AND I WOULD KNOW THAT THERE
WAS SOMEONE ELSE.
HE WAS LIKE A CHILD
WITH A NEW TOY.
BUT THIS TIME...
SOMEONE
WAS DIFFERENT?
NO!
NEW SPORTS CAR, FANCY NEW
CLOTHES.
ATTEMPTS
AT REGAINING HIS YOUTH.
MAYBE THIS TIME IT WAS SERIOUS.
MAYBE THIS TIME HE WASN'GOING TO COME BACK TO YOU.
THAT'S WHY YOU TOLD TRACY
ABOUT THE RED DRESS.
KATHY... YOU TOLD HER
ABOUT THE DRESS.
BECAUSE YOU WERE JEALOUS?
BECAUSE YOU KNEW GRAYSON HAD
BOUGHT IF FOR SOMEONE ELSE?
HI.
YOU OK?
YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING.
IF WE PULL THIS OFF,
GRAYSON FRANKS' REPUTATION
WILL BE TARNISHED FOREVER.
PEOPLE WILL FORGETHE BRILLIANT JURIST HE WAS
AND ONLY REMEMBER THE
SKIRT-CHASING ADULTERER.
I'LL HAVE HELPED DESTROY
THE REPUTATION OF...
THE MAN I ADMIRED.
THE IRONY IS I'LL BE DOING IFOR WHAT HE CHERISHED MOSAND FOUGHT FOR ALL HIS LIFE...
JUSTICE.
MR. TRAVIS,
YOUR OPENING STATEMENT.
THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
OF THE JURY,
THIS IS A CASE
OF A BRUTAL MURDER
PERPETRATED BY A CALLOUS KILLER,
WHO COVETED
HIS VICTIM'S WRIST WATCH
SO MUCH MORE
THAN HIS VICTIM'S LIFE,
THAT HE STABBED
HIS VICTIM 16 TIMES
TO STEAL THE WATCH.
THE PROSECUTION WILL PRESENIRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE
THAT THE STOLEN WATCH WAS FOUND
IN THE DEFENDANT'S POSSESSION.
MOST DAMNING, BLOOD,
THE VICTIM'S BLOOD,
WAS FOUND
ON THE DEFENDANT'S SHIRT.
AND THE KNIFE THAT FORENSICS
EXPERTS HAVE ALREADY PROVEN
TO BE THE MURDER WEAPON,
WAS FOUND IN A LOCKED
TOOLBOX TO WHICH...
THE DEFENDANT HAS THE ONLY KEY.
THE FACTS?
SPEAK VERY CLEARLY
TO THE DEFENDANT'S GUILT.
MR. McBRIDE?
THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.
WELL, THAT WAS
A VERY COMPELLING,
ALBEIT INACCURATE STATEMENBY MR. TRAVIS,
SO LET ME CLEAR UP
ANY CONFUSION.
THE ONLY THING MY CLIENMR. LOBELL IS GUILTY OF
IS FINDING
A VERY EXPENSIVE WATCH
AND NOT TURNING IT IN
TO THE POLICE.
JUAN LOBELL DID NOT MURDER
GRAYSON FRANKS.
AND WE INTEND TO PROVE IT.
THIS IS THE KNIFE
THAT YOU FOUND
IN THE DEFENDANT'S
LOCKED TOOLBOX?
YES.
AND WE'VE ALREADY
HEARD FROM FORENSICS
THAT BLOOD FOUND ON THIS KNIFE
AND THE BLOOD FOUND
ON THE DEFENDANT'S SHIRARE A D.N.A. MATCH
TO THE DECEASED GRAYSON FRANKS.
THANK YOU.
NO MORE QUESTIONS.
YOUR WITNESS, MR. McBRIDE.
DETECTIVE HANSEN,
HOW DID YOU COME TO FIND
THE KNIFE IN MR. LOBELL'S
LOCKED TOOLBOX?
WE OBTAINED A SEARCH WARRANAND BROKE THE PAD LOCK.
ONCE THE BOX WAS OPENED,
THE KNIFE WAS IN PLAIN VIEW.
WHAT PROMPTED YOU
TO OBTAIN A SEARCH WARRANT?
WE RECEIVED AN ANONYMOUS TIP
THAT THE MURDER WEAPON WAS
HIDDEN IN MR. LOBELL'S TOOLBOX.
AN ANONYMOUS TIP.
DON'T YOU FIND IT STRANGE THAT...
AN ANONYMOUS CALLER
JUST HAPPENED
TO KNOW WHERE THE MISSING
MURDER WEAPON WAS?
IT'S NOT UNCOMMON
TO RECEIVE INFORMATION
FROM SOURCES WHO WISH
TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS.
I SEE.
WAS THIS PERSON
A MAN OR A WOMAN?
A DISPATCHER
ANSWERED THE CALL.
I REVIEWED THE RECORDING
A FEW TIMES,
AND, IN MY OPINION,
IT COULD BE EITHER.
REALLY? WHY IS THAT?
WAS THE VOICE DISGUISED?
FROM WHAT I HEARD,
I BELIEVE THAT'S A POSSIBILITY.
OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.
DETECTIVE HANSEN
IS NOT AN AUDIO EXPERT.
SUSTAINED.
KEEP IT MOVING, MR. McBRIDE.
YES, YOUR HONOR.
SO, THIS ANONYMOUS CALLER,
WITH A POTENTIALLY DISGUISED VOICE,
JUST HAPPENED TO KNOW THAJUAN LOBELL HAD PUT THE KNIFE
IN HIS TOOLBOX.
OBJECTION. SPECULATION.
SUSTAINED.
YOUR HONOR, IN ORDER FOR
THE CALLER TO HAVE THE TIP,
THEY HAD TO HAVE KNOWN THE
KNIFE WAS IN THE TOOLBOX.
BUT AS DETECTIVE HANSEN
DOESN'T KNOW THE CALLER,
SHE CAN NOT SPEAK
TO HIS LINE OF REASONING.
THAT IS CORRECT, BUTHANK YOU FOR ACKNOWLEDGING
THAT THE CALLER DID KNOW
WHERE THE KNIFE WAS!
GENTLEMEN,
IF YOU DON'T MIND,
I WILL RUN THIS COURT.
AND ANY FURTHER OUTBURSTS
BETWEEN EITHER ONE OF YOU,
AND I WILL CITE
YOU BOTH FOR CONTEMPT.
MY APOLOGIES
TO THE COURT, YOUR HONOR.
I WAS MERELY TRYING TO POINT OUTHAT THE ANONYMOUS CALLER
COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED
IN PLANTING THE KNIFE.
I BELIEVE YOU
MADE YOUR POINT.
MS. BROWN...
HOW LONG WERE YOU GRAYSON
FRANKS' PERSONAL ASSISTANT?
6 YEARS.
FAIR TO SAY
YOU KNEW HIM WELL?
VERY WELL.
YOU WERE PRIVY TO HIS...
PERSONAL, AS WELL
AS HIS BUSINESS AFFAIRS.
YES.
ALL OF HIS AFFAIRS?
I'M NOT SURE
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN?
I'M TALKING ABOUHIS EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS.
OBJECTION. I FAIL
TO SEE THE RELEVANCE
IN THIS LINE OF QUESTIONING.
I PROMISE YOU, YOUR HONOR,
IF YOU ALLOW ME TO CONTINUE,
I WILL SHOW A CLEAR LINE
OF RELEVANCE.
OVERRULED.
YOU MAY PROCEED.
GRAYSON FRANKS OWNED A
CONDOMINIUM IN MARINA DEL REY.
YES.
IT WAS FOR THE USE OF CLIENTS.
THAT WAS ITS ONLY PURPOSE?
YOUR HONOR, HE'S
BADGERING HIS OWN WITNESS.
NO. YOUR HONOR,
I'M NOT BADGERING.
I'M TRYING TO ESTABLISH THAGRAYSON FRANKS HAD A SECRET LIFE,
AND THAT SOMEONE CONNECTED
WITH THAT LIFE,
HAD A MUCH MORE PASSIONATE
AND PERSONAL REASON,
OTHER THAN ROBBERY,
TO MURDER HIM.
OVERRULED, BUT I BETTER
SEE THE PAYOFF PRETTY SOON.
ISN'T IT TRUE THAGRAYSON FRANKS USED THAT...
CONDOMINIUM
TO CONDUCT SEXUAL AFFAIRS...
WITH A NUMBER OF WOMEN?
MS. BROWN?
YOU'RE UNDER OATH.
MS. BROWN,
PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION.
YES.
IN FACT, YOU KNEW GRAYSON
FRANKS TO BE A SERIAL ADULTERER.
DID YOU NOT?
AND YOU HAD FIRSTHAND
KNOWLEDGE OF THAT,
BECAUSE--
YOU KNEW THAT BECAUSE...
YOU KNEW THAT BECAUSE,
AS HIS PERSONAL ASSISTANT,
THERE WERE THINGS
HE COULDN'T HIDE FROM YOU.
YES.
YES.
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.
YOUR WITNESS, MR. TRAVIS?
NO QUESTIONS, YOUR HONOR.
ACTUALLY, I THOUGHWE DID ALL RIGHT TODAY.
WE ESTABLISHED AN OPENING.
"ALL RIGHT'S" NOT QUITE
GOOD ENOUGH, THOUGH.
TRAVIS STILL HOLDS
MOST OF THE CARDS.
HEY, ANY PROGRESS
ON THE BANK RECORDS?
WE COULD USE
A HAIL MARY PASS RIGHT NOW.
LIKE I TOLD YOU,
I FARMED SOME OF THE WORK OUTO OLD HACKER FRIENDS OF MINE.
LET ME JUST CHECK MY EMAIL HERE.
WOW.
WHAT?
QUICK, COME HERE.
LOOK.
I LOVE HAIL MARY PASSES.
WHAT-- WHAT CAN
WE DO WITH THIS?
WE CAN'T USE IT IN COURT.
THAT DEPENDS HOW YOU PLAY IT.
FIRST MONUMENT BANK
OF CALIFORNIA.
DO ME A FAVOR? GET OVER THERE
AND GET AS MANY BROCHURES
AS YOU CAN
WITH THEIR NAME ON THEM.
GOOD IDEA.
HI, ROBERTA, IT'S ME.
LISTEN, DID YOU HAVE ANY LUCK WITH
THAT PARKING TICKET INFORMATION
I ASKED YOU ABOUT?
SORRY, I DIDN'T EVEN
CHECK THE FAX MACHINE.
ALL RIGHT, DEAR.
THANK YOU.
MR. DELGADO, WHAT DO
YOU DO FOR A LIVING?
I SERVICE
AND REPAIR MOTORCYCLES.
WITH JUAN LOBELL, RIGHT?
YES.
YOU'RE FRIENDS, CORRECT?
YEAH.
DO YOU SHARE
THINGS LIKE TOOLS?
WE HAVE OUR OWN
BUT SOMETIMES, YEAH.
SO, IF YOU NEEDED A SPECIFIC
TOOL THAT WASN'T IN YOUR TOOLBOX,
YOU COULD ASK JUAN
TO BORROW IT, CORRECT?
YEAH.
UNLESS HE WASN'T THERE,
OR UNLESS HIS TOOLBOX
WAS LOCKED.
YEAH.
SO...
IF HE WASN'T THERE,
YOU COULDN'T GET ACCESS TO HIS TOOLS, RIGHT?
NO, I COULDN'T.
I HEAR THAT YOU'RE
PRETTY GOOD WITH A LOCK.
OBJECTION. SPECULATION.
YOUR HONOR, IF MR. TRAVIS WILL
ALLOW ME TO FINISH MY QUESTION,
I THINK HE'LL FIND THAT THERE
IS INDEED NO SPECULATION.
OVERRULED FOR THE MOMENT.
MR. DELGADO, ISN'T IT TRUE
THAT YOU RECENTLY ASSISTED SOMEONE
WITH UNLOCKING THEIR STEERING
COLUMN ON THEIR BIKE
AND STARTING THE ENGINE
OF THEIR BIKE WITHOUT A KEY?
YEAH.
THE DUDE LOST HIS KEYS.
HE WAS SO GRATEFUL,
HE GAVE ME A 20.
AND ISN'T IT ALSO TRUE
THAT YOU AND MR. LOBELL
SHARE THE SAME OBSESSION
WITH MOTORCYCLES?
YEAH.
PHIL, MAY I?
MR. DELGADO, DIDN'T YOU
JUST BUY A MOTORCYCLE?
BRAND NEW TRIUMPH.
YES.
WITH A $20,000 PRICE TAG.
I GOT HIM DOWN TO 17.
GOOD FOR YOU.
DID YOU TAKE A LOAN OUTO PAY FOR THE BIKE?
IF YOU CAN'T REMEMBER,
WE CAN ASK THE GENTLEMAN
WHO SOLD YOU THE MOTORCYCLE.
OBJECTION. RELEVANCE?
YOUR HONOR, I PROMISE
RELEVANCE WILL
BE PERFECTLY CLEAR
ONCE MR. DELGADO
ANSWERS THE QUESTION.
OVERRULED.
YOU MAY ANSWER THE QUESTION.
NO, I PAID CASH.
WHOA. THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY.
I WORK HARD.
INDEED. YOU MUST,
BECAUSE ISN'T IT ALSO TRUE
THAT JUST A FEW DAYS PRIOR,
YOU HAD IN YOUR POSSESSION
$25,000?
WHO TOLD YOU THAT?
IS IT TRUE?
I SAVED THAT MONEY.
I TAKE IT YOU HAVE BANK
RECORDS TO THAT EFFECT?
TOO HARD A QUESTION?
WELL, WE'LL...
ASK AN EASIER ONE. IF YOU HAD
THAT MUCH MONEY LAYING AROUND,
WHY DID YOU WAISO LONG TO BUY THE BIKE?
I, UM...
I WAS-- I WAS
MAKING UP MY MIND.
OF COURSE. I SEE.
WELL, YEAH, JUST COINCIDENTAL
THAT YOU HAD $25,000
JUST PRIOR TO THE MURDER
WEAPON BEING FOUND
IN JUAN'S TOOLBOX.
AND YET, YOU WAITED...
UNTIL THAT VERY DAY
TO BUY THE MOTORCYCLE.
NO MORE QUESTIONS.
MRS. FRANKS, HOW LONG WERE
YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND MARRIED?
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
30 YEARS IN MAY.
WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURS
AS A HAPPY MARRIAGE?
WELL, ALL RELATIONSHIPS
HAVE THEIR UPS AND DOWNS,
AND OURS WAS SUCCESSFUL
BECAUSE WE SURVIVED BOTH.
DID YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR
HUSBAND'S EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS?
YES.
I WASN'T AWARE
OF THE OTHER WOMEN
UNTIL WE WERE MARRIED
NEARLY 10 YEARS.
BUT NOW I KNOW...
THAT THEY WERE ALWAYS
AROUND FROM THE BEGINNING.
DID YOU EVER CONFRONT HIM
ABOUT HIS INFIDELITIES?
NO, NOT DIRECTLY.
I PROBABLY SHOULD'VE,
BUT I JUST FOUND IT EASIER
TO JUST GET BACK
AT HIM IN SUBTLE WAYS.
LIKE WEARING
A DRESS IDENTICAL
TO ONE THAT HE HAD
BOUGHT HIS MISTRESS?
IT SEEMS SO PETTY.
I JUST...
I JUST WANTED HIM TO KNOW
HE COULDN'T FOOL ME ANYMORE.
WOULD YOU...
UM, NO MORE QUESTIONS
OF THIS WITNESS, YOUR HONOR.
MR. TRAVIS, YOUR WITNESS?
MRS. FRANKS, DID ANY ONE OF THESE
WOMEN CAUSE HARM TO YOUR HUSBAND,
ASSAULT HIM,
MAKE DEATH THREATS,
SEND ANGRY LETTERS?
NO. NO, WHEN MY HUSBAND
WAS AT HIS WORST,
YOU COULDN'T HATE HIM.
THE WOMEN COULDN'T HELP IT.
EVERYBODY LOVED GRAYSON.
THANK YOU.
THE WITNESS IS EXCUSED.
DEAN, I KNOW WHAA TERRIBLY TOUGH TIME THIS IS
FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
AGAIN, YOU HAVE
MY DEEPEST SYMPATHIES.
THANK YOU.
A FEW QUESTIONS I HAVE
TO ASK JUST FOR THE RECORD.
OF COURSE.
LET'S START WITH THE OBVIOUS.
WHERE WERE YOU THE EVENING
YOUR FATHER WAS KILLED?
I WAS AT THE FAMILY LODGE
AT LAKE ARROWHEAD.
ALL DAY?
UNTIL ABOUT 7:00
IN THE EVENING.
THEN YOU DROVE HOME?
YES.
THAT'S ABOUT A 2 HOUR DRIVE,
PUT YOU BACK IN L.A.
SOMETIME AFTER 9:00, DEPENDING ON TRAFFIC.
THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT.
ARE YOU AWARE OF THE
CONDOMINIUM YOUR FATHER OWNED
IN MARINA DEL REY?
YES, I HANDLED THE PURCHASE.
DO YOU UTILIZE THE CONDO?
NO, NO, I HAVEN'T BEEN THERE SINCE
WE CLOSED ESCROW A FEW YEARS AGO.
I HAVE HERE A REPORT FROM THE
MARINA DEL REY TRAFFIC DIVISION.
IT STATES THAA PARKING TICKEWAS ISSUED OUTSIDE THE CONDO
TO A 2006 CORVETTE
OWNED BY YOUR FATHER GRAYSON
FRANKS ON THE DAY HE WAS KILLED.
THAT HAS TO BE A MISTAKE.
MY FATHER HAD A PARKING SPACE
IN THE UNDERGROUND GARAGE.
THAT'S WHAT I FIGURED, TOO.
I TALKED
TO THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY.
THEY SAID THAT THE--
THE GATE TO THE UNDERGROUND
PARKING WAS OUT OF SERVICE,
AND THAT IT WAS BEING REPAIRED
BETWEEN 4:00 P.M.
AND 6:45 P.M. THAT DAY.
WELL, I DON'T THINK THE
PARKING TICKET MEANS ANYTHING NOW.
ODDER STILL...
ANOTHER PARKING TICKET WAS ISSUED
OUTSIDE THE CONDO ON THE SAME DAY
TO A 2006 PORSCHE
WITH A PERSONALIZED
LICENSE PLATE THAT READ
"ROCHELLE."
ISN'T THAT YOUR WIFE'S CAR?
THAT'S A MISTAKE.
SHE'S NOT EVEN AWARE
OF THE CONDO.
WE-- WE BOUGHT IBEFORE I EVEN MET HER.
YOUR HONOR, MAY I
HAVE A MOMENT TO CONFER
WITH MY ASSOCIATE MR. NEWBERRY?
YES.
MR. FRANKS,
DO YOU KNOW MARCO DELGADO?
I HEARD HIS TESTIMONY.
HE WORKS WITH THE MAN
WHO KILLED MY FATHER.
YOUR HONOR?
THE STENOGRAPHER
WILL STRIKE
THAT LAST COMMENFROM THE RECORD,
AND THE JURY IS INSTRUCTED
TO DO LIKEWISE.
EARLIER, MR. DELGADO TESTIFIED
THAT HE PAID $17,000 CASH
FOR A MOTORCYCLE JUST DAYS
FOLLOWING YOUR FATHER'S MURDER.
HE TESTIFIED HE COULD
SPEND $17,000 BECAUSE
HE HAD SAVED 25,000.
GOOD FOR HIM.
DO YOU BANK AT FIRSMONUMENT BANK OF CALIFORNIA?
YES.
ON THE 26th OF THE MONTH,
THE DAY BEFORE THE MURDER WEAPON WAS FOUND
IN JUAN LOBELL'S TOOL BOX
AND MR. DELGADO'S WINDFALL,
YOU WITHDREW $25,000 IN CASH
FROM YOUR ACCOUNT.
IS THAT CORRECT?
YES.
WHY?
NEEDED IFOR BUSINESS INVESTMENTS.
IT'S WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING.
DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS.
YOU GAVE THAT MONEY TO MARCO
DELGADO, DIDN'T YOU?
WHY WOULD I DO THAT?
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM.
YOU GAVE
MARCO DELGADO $25,000...
TO PLANT THIS KNIFE
IN JUAN LOBELL'S TOOLBOX.
THAT'S A LIE.
YOU'RE IMPLYING THAT I--
YOU'RE IMPLYING THAI KILLED MY OWN FATHER.
YES, I'M AFRAID I AM.
BECAUSE YOU DISCOVERED
THAT YOUR WIFE
WAS HAVING
AN AFFAIR WITH HIM.
SO YOU CAME BACK EARLY FROM
LAKE ARROWHEAD TO CHECK ON THEM.
ROCHELLE, PLEASE!
SO, YOU FOLLOWED YOUR FATHER,
PARKED IN THE DARK...
AND WAITED FOR HIM.
WHAT THE HECK IS THIS...
DEAN?
DAMN YOU. DAMN YOU TO HELL!
AND EVEN AFTER
JUAN LOBELL WAS ARRESTED,
YOU DIDN'T COME FORWARD
WITH THE TRUTH.
INSTEAD, YOU PAID
HIS BEST FRIEND
MARCO DELGADO $25,000...
TO PUT THIS KNIFE
IN HIS TOOLBOX.
I'M...
SO SORRY.
MOM-- MOTHER, PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
TRACY. TRACY?
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
THIS COURT WILL RECESS
UNTIL SUCH TIME AS WE CAN ENTERTAIN
A MOTION FOR DISMISSAL OF ALL CHARGES
AGAINST THE DEFENDANMR. JUAN LOBELL.
MEANTIME, I EXPECT TO SEE
BOTH COUNSEL IN MY CHAMBERS
IN 30 MINUTES.
HERE HE IS.
JUAN!
THANK YOU, MR. McBRIDE.
YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.
THANK YOU, PHIL.
JUAN.
YOU'RE MOST WELCOME. TAKE
CARE OF YOURSELF, ALL RIGHT?
SURE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
PHIL?
TAKE CARE, MAN.
WELL.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID IT,
MAC.
YOU GOT TO THE TRUTH EVEN IF
IT HURT.
YEAH. THIS ONE DID, TOO.
WHAT LED YOU TO DEAN?
THE RED DRESS.
YEAH, KATHY GAVE
GRAYSON'S DELIVERY
RECEIPT FOR THE DRESS
TO DEAN
BECAUSE HE HANDLED
ALL OF HIS FATHER'SFINANCES.
AND WHEN DEAN SAW THE RECEIPAND REALIZED THAT ROCHELLE HAD
THAT DRESS IN HER CLOSET,
HE KNEW SHE HADN'T BOUGHT IT.
YEAH, WITH GRAYSON'S
PENCHANT FOR RED
AND THE ARGUMENTS THAT DEAN
AND ROCHELLE HAD BEEN HAVING,
DEAN PUT 2 AND 2 TOGETHER
AND CAME UP WITH AN AFFAIR.
SO, IT WAS KATHY'S GIVING
THE DELIVERY RECEIPT TO DEAN
THAT SET THINGS IN MOTION?
YEAH.
YOU'RE AMAZING.
AW, GOSH. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
THE PARKING TICKET INFORMATION
YOU GAVE US,
THAT SEALED THE DEAL.
HEY.
WE STILL MAKE A GOOD TEAM.
YOU BET.
I'LL SEE YOU AROUND, COUNSELOR.
DETECTIVE.
BYE, PHIL.
BYE.
SO, YOU THINK YOU MIGHTAKE SOME TIME,
GET REACQUAINTED WITH MARIA
AND JUAN?
YEAH. YEAH, IT'S BEEN A LONG
TIME.
MAYBE YOU GUYS CAN TALK ABOUWHAT IT WAS YOU WANTED TO BE
WHEN YOU WERE A KID.
COME ON. COME ON. COME ON.
WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU
GREW UP?
Y-- YOU PROMISE NOT TO LAUGH?
I-- WHY WOULD I LAUGH?
I WANTED TO BE A...
A BALLET DANCER.
REALLY?
YOU KNOW WHAT? I USED TO TAP
WHEN I WAS A KID.
YOU DID?
- HUH.
AND IT'S NEVER TOO LATE, YOU
KNOW.
TELL YOU WHAT.
I'LL BUY YOU A TUTU FOR
CHRISTMAS.
WANTED TO BE A BALLEDANCER.
HA HA HA!
