[MAN PANTING AND WOMAN GROANING]
AAH!

of whom she corrupts...

[DOOR OPENING]
WHOO!
HE'S OUT!
WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
YOU'RE BLIND!
HE'S OUT!
HE NEVER
TOUCHED HIM!
HE TOUCHED HIM
WITH HIS GLOVE!
HE HAD THE BALL
IN THE OTHER HAND!
WHO ARE YOU
WORKING FOR?
YOU'VE BEEN SNIFFING
ON SOMETHING?
GET OUT OF HERE.
ONE MORE WORD,
AND YOU'RE GONE.
GO ON!
COME ON. LET'S GO.
GO GET 'EM!
ALL RIGHT, ZEPHYRS.
GO GET 'EM!
VICKI, SIT DOWN.
HUH?
BEEKS!
YEAH?
YOU'RE IN.
I'M IN?
YEAH.
THE GAME'S ON
THE LINE, JACK.
HE'S A STIFF!
PUT VICKI
BACK IN.
WE WANT TO WIN
THIS GAME.
AND SO DOES BEEKS!
EVERYBODY PLAYS.
THOSE ARE THE RULES.
COME ON.
GIVE ME A BREAK.
JESUS CHRIST!
BATTER, BATTER,

BEEKS, NO! NO!
BEEKS, NO!
OH!

OH, JESUS CHRIST!
HOW COULD YOU
PUT BEEKS IN?
HE'S COST US
TWO GAMES ALREADY.
HIS FATHER PAID FOR
THE UNIFORMS.
WE ARE
THE BEST-DRESSED LOSERS,
BUT HE SUCKS.
GEORGE, YOU KNOW
THE RULES.
EVERYBODY PLAYS.
THINGS WON' BE SO COZY
BETWEEN YOU
AND VICK
SINCE YOU REPLACED HER.
NOTHING'S GOING ON
BETWEEN US.
FINE.
HEY, GENTS.
WE FOUND HER
LAST NIGH LYING OVER A BOULDER
IN GRIFFITH PARK.
NO I.D.
SHE HAD A LITTLE
SILVER CROSS
NEXT TO HER.
THAT'S IT.
NO CLOTHES, NOTHING.
AND WHOEVER RAPED HER
REALLY DID A GOOD JOB.
THEN THERE'S HER FACE.
WELL, THERE IS NO FACE.
SOMEBODY USED
A COMBAT KNIFE ON HER.
WE COUNTED 112 STROKES.
HE WENT TO
THE CHEEKBONES
ON SOME OF THEM.
O.K.
HOW OLD IS SHE?
COULDN'T BE
MORE THAN 20.
MMM, 22, MAYBE.
SHE BLED TO DEATH.
HE SLICED CLEAN THROUGH
HER CAROTID ARTERY--
AFTER HE CUT HER UP.
JACK, YOU THINK
THERE'S ENOUGH LEF SO YOU CAN SKETCH
WHAT SHE
USED TO LOOK LIKE?
GET A PHOTOGRAPHER
IN HERE.
I CAN'T--
JACK.
I CAN'T DO IT,
ALL RIGHT?
I'LL WORK OFF
A PHOTOGRAPH.
JACK!
HEY, SLUGGER.
TOUGH LOSS, HUH?
IT'S THE BES OUT OF THREE.
DON'T WORRY.
ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
THOUGHT YOU HAD
A VACATION COMING.
STARTING TOMORROW.
BUT, UH, I'LL BE
READY ON SATURDAY.
I'LL BE THERE,
TOO.
HEY, COACH
GANDHI.
DON'T BOTHER ME,
ZIP.
JACK, ROSENTHAL
CALLED.
SHE WANTS
THE MODEL
OF THE BANK
DONE BY MONDAY.
SHIT.
BUG SOMEBODY ELSE.
I'M BUSY.
YOU'RE ABOUT TO
GET BUSIER.
OUR FUN BOY WITH
THE CUTLERY?
WE GO AN EYEWITNESS.
REALLY?
EMMY O'CONNER.
SHE'S
IN YOUR OFFICE.
THERE'S JUS ONE THING.
WHAT?
SHE'S BLIND.
WHAT?
SHE CAN'T SEE.
THAT'S FUNNY.
MRS. O'CONNER?
EMMY. YES.
IN CASE THEY HAVEN' TOLD YOU,
YOU'RE IN THE PIGSTY
OF JACK WHITFIELD.
AND YOU'RE
MR. WHITFIELD.
CAN I GET YOU COFFEE?
BONNIE!
NO, REALLY.
I'M FINE.
YOU SURE?
HAVE A SEAT HERE.
WE'LL GET STARTED.
YOU'LL HAVE TO
HELP ME.
HERE WE GO.
YOU NEED ANYTHING,
JACK?
NO. NO, THANKS, BONNIE.
THANK YOU.
HERE. RIGHT HERE.
UM...
THIS IS, UH...
THIS IS GOING TO BE
A LITTLE TOUGH FOR ME.
GOING TO BE
VERY HARD FOR ME, TOO,
BUT THEN I HAVE
THE ADVANTAGE
OF NOT SEEING
YOUR EXPRESSIONS.
GUESS THIS SEEMS
FAIRLY RIDICULOUS
TO EVERYONE.
NO, NO. IT'S JUS THAT, UH...
BUT IT IS, REALLY,
ISN'T IT?
NO. IT...
YEAH, IT IS.
I MEAN,
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
YOU SAW?
I WAS ABLE
TO TOUCH THE MAN
WHO ATTACKED ME.
I TOUCHED HIS FACE.
I'M HERE TO DESCRIBE HIM.
ARE YOU READY TO LISTEN?
HOT DOG--MUSTARD,
HOLD THE CHILI.
YOU'RE IN COUR TODAY,
HUH,
LIEUTENANT?
WHAT MAKES YOU
SAY THAT?
"HOLD
THE CHILI."
I GET CRAP
ON MY SHIRT.
HA HA!
YOU GOT A PROBLEM,
LOMAN?
EVERYBODY KNOWS
ABOUT YOU AND CHILI.
LIEUTENANT.
LOOK WHO'S HERE.
HELLO, GINA.
WHAT ARE YOU PRESS GUYS
DOING HERE, SLUMMING?
WE'RE JUST BACK FROM
MISSING PERSONS.
ANOTHER WOMAN'S
REPORTED MISSING.
THINK IT MIGHT HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO
WITH
THE SLASHER CASE?
"SLASHER CASE?"
NOT VERY ORIGINAL.
YOU KNOW HOW MANY
MISSING PERSONS REPORTS
ARE FILED IN A DAY?
A LITTLE BIRDIE
TELLS ME YOU HAVE
AN EYEWITNESS.
YOUR LITTLE BIRDIE'S
CUCKOO.
O.K., BUT YOU WILL
LET ME KNOW
IF YOU STUMBLE
ACROSS ONE, RIGHT?
MAKE MY EDITORS
VERY HAPPY.
HOW COULD I RESIS ALL THAT SULTRY
GREEK CHARM?
YEAH, RIGHT.
TRY A BLINDFOLD.
EXCUSE US, PLEASE?
YEAH.
WHEN DID THE MPR
COME IN?
ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.
SAME APPROXIMATE AGE
AS THE FIRST WOMAN.
SHE WAS A STUDEN AT USC.
THE BLIND LADY?
SHE'S WITH WHITFIELD.
GEORGIE'S TALKING
WITH THE HUSBAND.
ANYTHING ELSE
IN COMMON
BESIDES THE KNIFE?
IT'S HIM, UNLESS
SOME OTHER PSYCHO
LEAVES A SILVER CROSS
AT THE SCENE
AFTER HE CARVES
SOMEONE UP.
YOU'RE KIDDING ME.
SAME EXACT KIND,
TOO.
HE'S PROBABLY GO A SHOEBOX FULL
RIGHT NEXT TO
HIS PROZAC.
WE GOT ANYTHING ELSE?
YEAH. WE HAVE
A BLIND EYEWITNESS.
IS THAT TERRIFIC
OR WHAT?
IT SAYS HERE, UH,
YOU TOLD THE DETECTIVE
HE WAS 6 FEET TALL?
YES. MY FEE TOUCHED HIS ANKLES.
WAS HE, UH...
WAS HE HEAVY?
WAS HE A BIG MAN?
UH, HEAVYSET,
STRONG.
ABOUT 200 POUNDS.
YEAH.
O.K.
SO YOU SAID HIS FACE
WAS ROUND AND FULL?
YES. HE HAD A...
A THICK CHIN.
IT WAS A DOUBLE CHIN.
MM-HMM.
AND HIS SKIN WAS SOFT.
I CAN'T REALLY
DRAW THAT.
NO, BUT I THOUGH IT MIGHT GIVE YOU
AN IDEA OF HIS AGE.
HE HAD STUBBLE,
BUT IT WASN'T COARSE.
WOULD YOU SAY
HE WAS 20, 25, 30?
YES, HIS HAIR WAS SHORT,
VERY STRAIGHT,
MAYBE FINGER-LENGTH.
O.K. THAT'S GOOD.
WE'LL HAVE TO WING I ON THE COLOR.
IT WAS BROWNISH.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
I TOUCHED HIS HAIR.
IT WAS VERY FINE
AND SILKY, ALMOST LIMP.
I'VE BEEN BLIND
SINCE I WAS 11,
AND I...
WELL, THERE'S
OTHER WAYS TO SEE.
OTHER WAYS?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YES.
WOULD YOU?
YOUR HAIR IS FINE.
IT'S A TOUCH OILY.
IS IT BROWNISH AS WELL?
YES.
YOUR SKIN STILL HAS
MOISTURE IN IT...
ALTHOUGH YOUR BEARD
IS COARSE.
YOU'RE 35 OR 36.
I'M 36, AND MY HAIR
IS BROWN.
CAN YOU DO THIS
WITH EVERYTHING?
NOT EVERYTHING.
ORGANIC THINGS,
YES, SOMETIMES.
IT'S EASIER
IN THE SUN
BECAUSE
EACH COLOR ABSORBS
A DIFFERENT AMOUN OF HEAT.
MR. O'CONNER,
IT USUALLY TAKES
OUR SKETCH ARTIS ABOUT AN HOUR,
SO YOUR WIFE
SHOULD BE HERE
ANY MINUTE.
WE'RE ALSO
GOING TO HAVE TO
TAKE ANOTHER
LOOK AT YOUR HOME.
YOU GUYS HAVE HAD
A PRETTY GOOD LOOK ALREADY.
WHAT ELSE ARE YOU
GOING TO FIND THERE?
THIS IS JUS A ROUTINE FOLLOW-UP.
WHAT ABOUT HIS EYES?
DID YOU TOUCH HIS EYES?
CAN YOU DESCRIBE THEM?
YES.
THEY WERE CLOSE SET,
VERY LARGE, ROUND...
WITH DEEP EYE SOCKETS.
MM-HMM.
AND HIS NOSE?
IT WAS WIDE,
CAME TO A POINT.
THE CARTILAGE
IN THE FRONT WAS RIPPLED,
LIKE MAYBE HE HAD
BROKEN IT,
AND HE HAD A HARD TIME
BREATHING THROUGH IT.
HOW ABOUT HIS MOUTH?
HIS MOUTH WAS SOFT,
FOR WHAT HE WAS SAYING.
WHAT WAS HE SAYING?
HE WAS SAYING
SOMETHING RELIGIOUS,
MAYBE FROM THE BIBLE,
I DON'T KNOW.
I DON' REMEMBER IT.
THE UPPER LIP HAD
A PRONOUNCED BREAK,
LIKE A "V,"
AND HIS BOTTOM LIP
WAS FULL AND TURNED OUT.
BOTH LIPS WERE
VERY SMOOTH, MOIST.
O.K.
DO YOU REMEMBER
ANYTHING ELSE?
DID YOU TOUCH
A SCAR?
NO.
JUST THAT HE WAS
GOING TO KILL ME.
HE WAS WEARING
THIN RUBBER GLOVES,
AND HE HAD HIS HAND
OVER MY MOUTH,
AND I KNEW HE WAS
GOING TO KILL ME.
AND THEN MY HUSBAND
CAME HOME.
YOUR HUSBAND?
YES.
HE'S--HE'S WAITING
FOR ME.
ARE WE FINISHED?
MR. O'CONNER,
THERE'S SOME
VERY GOOD
RAPE CRISIS CENTERS
AROUND TOWN.
I'D BE HAPPY
TO GIVE YOU
SOME NUMBERS.
THANK YOU.
HI.
YOU O.K.?
HI.
YEAH.

HI. GLENN.
HOW'D IT GO?
THANKS TO YOUR WIFE,

COMMUNITY
COLLEGE.

MY DESK IS
RIGHT IN FRONT OF US.
THANKS.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
SHE GAVE YOU THIS.
LET ME SEE

[JACK]
IT'S ALL FROM
HER DESCRIPTION.
WHAT DO YOU SAY,
LIEUTENANT?
ALL OF US CARE
ABOUT THIS WOMAN'S SAFETY,
BUT WE'RE DEALING WITH
A POTENTIAL SERIAL KILLER HERE.
I WANT THIS GUY MUMMIFIED.
WE GOT TO RUN

WHAT IF HE SEES I AND GOES AFTER
THIS POOR GIRL?
JUST HAND IT OU TO OUR GUYS.
GIVE IT A CHANCE.
JACK, WE CAN PU SURVEILLANCE
ON THE O'CONNER
PLACE.
SO A COUPLE GUYS
CAN CATCH UP
ON THEIR SLEEP?
NEVER MIND THAT BULLSHIT.
YOU'RE WORRIED ABOU ONE WOMAN'S SAFETY.

I'M JUST ASKING YOU
TO WAIT A WEEK.
IF WE DON'T CATCH
THIS GUY IN A WEEK,
GIVE IT TO THE MEDIA.
THIS GUY NEVER LETS UP.
I GIVE YOU TILL TUESDAY.
THANKS, DAVE.
GOD WILLING,
WE'LL GET LUCKY.
GET OUT, WILL YOU, PLEASE?
I GOT A HEADACHE.
YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN
THAT SHOW, MAN--
HOUSE OF FASHION.
I KNOW
IT'S SOMETHING, MAN.
THERE'S GOT TO BE
SOME CORRELATION
BETWEEN SPANDEX
AND THE INCREASE
IN MIDDLE-AGED
CORONARIES.
DON'T KID YOURSELF.
NEXT TIME I HEAR,
"YOU DON'T LOOK
A DAY OVER 35,"
I'M GOING TO PUKE.
BESIDES, ONCE THEY
FIND OUT I'M DIVORCED,
THEY HEAD FOR THE HILLS.
THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM,
MAN.
YOU GOT TO MAKE THA WORK FOR YOU, JACK.
I WOULD.
O.K. I'LL WORK ON THAT,
DON JUAN.
THERE YOU GO.
[PIANO PLAYING]
HI. COME ON IN.
[JACK]
HELLO, GLENN.
HELLO, DETECTIVE.
MRS. O'CONNER.

GO ON, GLENN.
I'LL BE

MM-HMM.
JACK'S GOING

AND I'M GOING TO
TALK TO NEIGHBORS.
I'M BLOCKING YOU IN,
SO I'LL GE OUT OF YOUR WAY.

BYE.
SHALL WE START?
YEAH.
I JUST NEED TO MAKE
A QUICK SKETCH OF, UH...
YES, I KNOW.
NICE HOUSE.

NOW I'M NOT SO SURE.
I WAS COMING
FROM THE BATHROOM.
UH, EMMY, I'M JUS GOING TO TAKE
A FEW POLAROIDS,
ALL RIGHT?
O.K.
UM...
IT WAS HOT.
WE HAD THE...
THE DOORS OPEN FOR A BREEZE.
JUST A FEW MOMENTS
AFTER I CAME IN HERE,
I...I KNEW THAT SOMEONE
WAS IN THE ROOM WITH ME.
I COULD SMELL PERSPIRATION.
IT WAS LIKE...
WIRES BURNING.
IT WAS FOREIGN.
I...
I KNOW GLENN'S SCENT.
AND THEN I STARTED...
HEADING FOR
THE DOOR, AND...
AND THAT'S
WHEN HE GRABBED ME.
AND HE PUT THE BLADE
OF THE KNIFE
AGAINST MY FACE.
THEN HE DRAGGED ME
TO THE GROUND.
YOU KNOW, I'VE...
I'VE ALREADY
TOLD THE POLICE
ABOU THE ACTUAL RAPE.
I'M...FINISHED IN HERE.
I MEAN, I JUST, UH...
JUST NEED TO TAKE
A COUPLE MEASUREMENTS,
AND I'M GOING TO
GET OUT OF HERE.
I'M SORRY.
I'M JUST NOT SO SURE
ABOUT EVERYTHING.
I MEAN, I COME IN,
AND I TELL YOU
WHAT I KNOW,
AND YOU GET HIM,
BUT THAT'S NO THE WAY
THINGS WORK OUT,
OBVIOUSLY.
THERE'S A UNI THAT CRUISES THE HOUSE
EVERY 15 MINUTES.
O.K.? YOU'RE SAFE,
AND WE HAVE YOUR
DESCRIPTION OF THE GUY.
WE'LL CATCH HIM.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YOU MUS BE EXHAUSTED.
HEY, WHAT TIME
DID YOU GE TO BED, FINALLY?
IT WAS LATE.
UM, I DON'T KNOW.
I HAD TO PREPARE
FOR A CLASS.
YOU STAYED UP LATE
THE NIGHT BEFORE, TOO.
YEAH.
I WASN'T TIRED.
YOUR STUDENTS
MUST BE HAPPY
TO HAVE YOU BACK.
YEAH.
YOU HAVE GREAT KIDS
THIS YEAR,
YOU KNOW THAT?
YEAH, I DO.
I DO.
LISTEN, IS THERE
SOMETHING I COULD DO?
ANYTHING?
ANYTHING AT ALL?

BUT MY LEGS ARE
FALLING ASLEEP.
OOH!

YEAH. CAN WE TALK
ABOUT THIS LATER?
YEAH, I'M SORRY.
I'M SORRY.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I'M GOING TO GO
TAKE MY WALK.
DON'T YOU HAVE
A CLASS TO GO TO?
LOOK, LET ME
GO WITH YOU.
GLENN,
I FEEL LIKE I'M ON
THE WITNESS
PROTECTION PROGRAM.
IT'S BROAD DAYLIGHT,
AND THERE'S PEOPLE
EVERYWHERE.
I JUST WAN TO BE BY MYSELF.
ARE YOU NODDING
OR SCOWLING?
A LITTLE BI OF BOTH.
GO AHEAD.
JUST DON'T BE LONG.
STAY BACK.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
THIS IS A CRIME SCENE.
STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE.
THAT'S OUR GUY.
SAME STROKE PATTERN,
WOUND DEPTH,
RECENT VAGINAL
PENETRATION.
IT'S LIKE
THE FIRST ONE
AND THE O'CONNER
WOMAN--NO SEMEN--
BUT I THINK
I KNOW WHY.
YEAH?
I FOUND TRACES
OF A...
OF A LUBRICANT.
I CAN'T TELL
TILL I GET I BACK TO THE LAB,
BUT I THINK
IT'S STUFF THEY USE
TO PACKAGE CONDOMS.
HE LEF ANOTHER CROSS.
SO,
TIME OF DEATH?
WELL, COOL AIR PLAYS GAMES
WITH RIGOR MORTIS,
BUT I'D SAY 6:00,
MAYBE 6:30.
OH, WE GO A NEW TWIST, GUYS.
HE SODOMIZED THIS ONE,
PROBABLY
AFTER SHE DIED.
GUY'S FULL
OF WARMTH
AND COMPASSION,
AIN'T HE?
THEY'VE GO A COUPLE SURFERS.
FOUND THE BODY,
CLAIM THEY KNOW HER.
LET'S GO.

HELLO, EMMY.
[GASP]
SHH!
LISTEN TO ME.
IF YOU COOPERATE
WITH THE POLICE,
ANYONE WHO KNOWS
MUST DIE.
YOU...
GLENN...
ANYONE YOU HAVE TAINTED
WITH THIS FOUL LIE.
I CANNOT ALLOW YOU
OR ANYONE TO STOP ME, EMMY.
DON'T LET ME DOWN.
GLENN!
EMMY?
GLENN!
EMMY!
EMMY, I'M HERE.
WHAT'S WRONG?

JACK.
I COME HERE

JUST NORTH OF MALIBU.
POLICE BELIEVE THERE IS
A CONNECTION
BETWEEN THESE MURDERS.
INSIDE SOURCES ARE TELLING US
THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLE
DEVELOPMENT IN THIS CASE.
A POSSIBLE EYEWITNESS
HAS BEEN FOUND,
BUT THERE IS A HITCH--
THIS EYEWITNESS IS BLIND.
JACK!
SHE ALLEGEDLY SURVIVED
AN ATTACK
BY A KNIFE-WIELDING RAPIS WHO POLICE BELIEVE
IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE BRUTAL MURDERS
OF THE TWO WOMEN.
WHILE POLICE HAVE REFUSED
TO COMMEN ON ANY DETAILS
REGARDING THIS WITNESS,
KMEA LEARNED SHE'S IN HER 20s
AND TEACHES AT A LOCAL COLLEGE.
THIS SKETCH WAS COMPOSED...
LET ME USE
THE PHONE.

O.K. LISTEN.
A FEW KIDS OVER HERE

FROM YOUR SKETCH,
AND WE ALSO HAVE
A PARTIAL ON HIS RIDE.
IT WAS AN OLDER MODEL

BRAKE LIGHT, TOO.
YEAH.
WELL...

O.K.
I'M GOING TO
TRY THIS CASE,
BUT WINNING?
HERE WE GO.
NUMBER ONE--
ROTHKO'S FATHER RETAINED
MALAMUD, WALKER, AND SKILES.
HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
WHERE'D HE GE THAT KIND OF CASH?
R & D INVESTMENTS,
WALL STREE BROKERAGE HOUSE.
GUESS WHAT THE "R"
STANDS FOR.
LARRY WALKER
WILL EAT US ALIVE
ON THE MURDER CHARGES.
WE'LL PROSECUTE,
BUT OUR BEST SHOT RIGHT NOW
IS RAPE WITH ENHANCEMENT,
DEADLY WEAPON,
BODILY HARM.
WITH A BLIND
WITNESS.
BULLSHIT, VICKI.
MURDER ONE.
HEY, LISTEN TO ME,
DAVE--
NO, NO, NO.
YOU LISTEN TO ME.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR A LEFTY,
ACCORDING TO THE CORONER.
WE GOT ONE,
AND WE'VE GO A PATTERN.
HE STALKS
COLLEGE CAMPUSES.
HE FOLLOWS GIRLS HOME,
RAPES AND MURDERS THEM,
THEN LEAVES A CROSS.
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
WE FIND A BIBLE
IN HIS CAR
WITH ALL KINDS
OF UNDERLINED PASSAGES
ABOUT WOMEN,
AND WE GOT WITNESSES
WHO SAW HIM AT THE COLLEGE
THE NIGH THE SECURITY GUARD
WAS MURDERED.
OH, REALLY. WELL,
JACK WAS THERE.
DOES THAT MEAN
HE KILLED
THE SECURITY GUARD?
OH, COME ON. WE GO THE MURDER WEAPON, RIGHT?
A KNIFE, KNIFE GOUGES IN
THE O'CONNER WOMAN'S HOME.
YOU HAVE A KNIFE,
A CLEAN KNIFE,
AND A KNIFE
THAT I'M TOLD
HAPPENS TO BE
A POPULAR ITEM
WITH NO LESS
THAN 70,000 HUNTERS
IN THIS COUNTY.
[TONELLI]
NEVER MIND
THAT BULLSHIT.
WHAT ABOUT THE O'CONNER WOMAN,
FOR CHRIST'S SAKE?
SHE DESCRIBED HIM.
SHE HAD THE CROSS HE LEFT.
THEN SHE PICKS THE SON
OF A BITCH OUT OF A LINE-UP!
FIRST OF ALL,
I DON'T THINK
WE EVEN HAVE
EMMY O'CONNER.
SHE'S UNWILLING
TO COOPERATE.
WE HAVE
TO SUBPOENA HER,
AND EVEN IF WE DID,
THE DEFENSE WILL RIP
MY HEAD OFF.
SHE'S BLIND!
I NEED MORE!
WE HAVE
ANOTHER WITNESS.
WHO?
WHITFIELD.
JACK WHITFIELD SAW ROTHKO.
GEORGIE SAYS YOU TOLD HIM
IN THE COLLEGE PARKING LO THAT YOU SAW HIM.
THAT'S NO WHAT HE TOLD ME,
LIEUTENANT.
DID SOMEBODY
ASK YOU SOMETHING?
WELL, HOW ABOUT IT,
JACK?
JACK, YOU SAW
WHAT GEORGIE FISHED
OUT OF ROTHKO'S CAR.
YOU KNOW DAMN WELL
HE'S OUR KILLER.
COME ON NOW.
WORK WITH ME.
ROTHKO DID IT,
JACK.
WE MIGHT NOT EVEN
NEED THE GIRL.
I SAW SOMEBODY
HIS SIZE.
WILL YOU
JUST SAY IT,
FOR CHRIST'S SAKE?
LIEUTENANT, COME ON.
GIVE HIM A BREAK.
THE GUY CUT HIM.
WHEN WE GOT TO JACK,
HE WAS PRACTICALLY
GOING INTO SHOCK.
YEAH. WELL,
NOW IT'S MY TURN.
DID YOU OR
DIDN'T YOU SEE HIM,
WHITFIELD?
NO. I DID NO SEE HIS FACE.
FUMBLE.
[TONELLI]
GREAT. JUST...
GREAT.
JUST GREAT.
I'M GOING TO DO A FOLLOW-UP
ON THE COLLEGES,
POKE AROUND
A LITTLE BIT.
IN THE MEANTIME,
I GOT THE LAB BOYS
GOING OVER ROTHKO'S APARTMEN WITH A GODDAMN
ELECTRON MICROSCOPE,
SO MAYBE THEY'LL COME UP
WITH SOMETHING.
YEAH. MAYBE ANOTHER
HACKED-UP DEAD GIRL.
YOU KNOW, I CAN' BELIEVE YOU, WHITFIELD.
LISTEN. WHY DON'T YOU
JUST CAN IT?
WHY DON'T YOU CAN IT?
NO. REALLY, WHITFIELD.
OTHER DAY, YOU'RE CRYING
ABOUT PROTECTING THIS GIRL.
NOW YOU'RE COMING ON
WITH THIS SHI LIKE EVERYBODY'S ASKING
ALTAR BOY JACK
TO RAT ON THE POPE.
THIS IS AN ANIMAL
THAT HACKS UP GIRLS
FOR FUN,
AND YOU'RE
SETTING HIM FREE!
HEY, JACK.
COME ON.
GOD!
COME ON, WHITFIELD!
I'LL KICK YOUR ASS!
FUCK YOU.
HEY, JACK!
FORGET ABOUT THE GIRL.
IT'S YOU WHO ARE BLIND!
IN LOCAL NEWS,
THE TIMOTHY ROTHKO TRIAL
ENTERED ITS FIFTH DAY
OF PROCEEDINGS
WITH A MOTION
FOR DISMISSAL
FROM DEFENSE ATTORNEY
LAWRENCE WALKER.
AFTER MORE THAN FIVE MONTHS
OF LEGAL MANEUVERING,
ROTHKO'S LAWYERS
ARE PRIVATELY OPTIMISTIC
OVER THEIR CHANCES
FOR ACQUITTAL.
SPECULATION CONTINUES
AS TO JUST HOW LONG
ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY
VICTORIA ROSENTHAL
WILL PURSUE THE CASE
WITHOUT BENEFIT OF TESTIMONY
FROM A PRIME WITNESS,
COLLEGE INSTRUCTOR
EMMA LOU O'CONNER.
ROTHKO HAS BEEN CHARGED
WITH THE RAPE
AND ATTEMPTED MURDER
OF MRS. O'CONNER.
SHE IS ROSENTHAL'S
ONLY WITNESS
AND THE KEY
TO THE PROSECUTION'S CASE.
[POUNDING]
[JUDGE]
ALL RIGHT. LET'S HAVE
A LITTLE QUIET IN HERE, PLEASE.
COUNSELOR.
CAN YOU STATE YOUR NAME
AND OCCUPATION, PLEASE?
MY NAME IS
DR. SYDNEY BURROUGHS.
I'M A LICENSED PATHOLOGIS EMPLOYED BY THE COUNTY
OF LOS ANGELES.
CAN YOU
TELL THE COUR THE NATURE
OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP
TO THIS CASE?
I WAS THE ATTENDING PATHOLOGIS WHO PERFORMED AUTOPSIES
ON THE TWO FEMALE DECEDENTS,
SANDRA HAYES
AND ERIN KIRKWOOD.
WERE THERE
ANY SIMILARITIES
IN THE PHYSICAL
CONDITIONS
OF THESE WOMEN
WITH REGARD
TO THE WOUNDS
THEY SUFFERED
AT THE TIME
OF THEIR DEATHS?
YES. THERE WERE
DRAMATIC SIMILARITIES.
BOTH WOMEN SUFFERED
VERY DEEP
AND NUMEROUS
LACERATIONS--
NUMEROUS?
WHAT--10, 20?
OVER 100
IN EACH CASE.
THE VICTIMS'
FACIAL FEATURES
WERE VIRTUALLY
OBLITERATED.
CAN YOU TELL US
HOW THESE WOUNDS
WERE INFLICTED?
BY EVALUATING
THE WOUND CHARACTERISTICS,
THE DEPTH, WIDTH,
TISSUE TRAUMA,
NERVE DAMAGE,
THE PROBABLE INSTRUMEN USED WAS A REMINGTON
COMBAT KNIFE.
IS THERE
ANYTHING ELSE
YOU COULD TELL US
ABOU THE CHARACTERISTICS
OF THESE WOUNDS?
YES. JUDGING
BY THE ANGLE
OF THE WOUNDS
AND THE KIND OF PRESSURE
REQUIRED TO CREATE
THE KIND
OF LACERATIONS,
I'D HAVE TO SAY
THE ASSAILAN WAS LEFT-HANDED.
DR. BURROUGHS,
IS THE DEFENDAN LEFT-HANDED
OR RIGHT-HANDED?
LEFT-HANDED.
CAN YOU TELL
THE COUR WHAT PERCENTAGE
OF THE POPULATION
IS LEFT-HANDED?
THE FIGURE STANDS
AT ABOUT 10%.
IN THE UNITED STATES,
THE FIGURE DROPS
TO JUST UNDER 7%.
I HAVE HERE A COPY
OF YOUR AUTOPSY REPORT.
IT STATES THAT A WHITE
PETROLEUM SILICATE
WAS FOUND TO BE PRESEN IN BOTH WOMEN.
CAN YOU TELL ME WHA THIS SUBSTANCE IS?
YES. IT'S
A LUBRICATING FLUID
THAT'S USED
IN THE PACKAGING
OF CONDOMS.
FROM THE ACTUAL
CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
OF THE PETROLEUM
SILICATE,
WERE YOU ABLE
TO DETERMINE
A SPECIFIC
BRAND NAME
OF THE CONDOMS?
YES.
IT'S
CALLED PERCIVAL.
THANK YOU.
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.
OH, THANK YOU.
[GEORGE]
AN IDENTICAL SILVER CROSS
WAS FOUND WITH EACH
OF THE TWO DEAD GIRLS,
AND THE ASSAILAN WHO ATTACKED MS. O'CONNER
LEFT THE VERY SAME
TYPE OF CROSS WITH HER.
THANK YOU,
DETECTIVE.
NOW, WOULD YOU
TELL THE JURY
WHAT YOU FOUND
WHEN YOU SEARCHED
THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE
JUST AFTER HIS ARREST?
WE FOUND A BIBLE
WITH PASSAGES UNDERLINED
IN RED INK,
AND ALL OF THEM
HAD TO DO WITH WOMEN.
YOUR HONOR,
FOR THE RECORD,
I'M HOLDING A BIBLE
PREVIOUSLY MARKED
PEOPLE'S EXHIBI NUMBER THREE.
DETECTIVE...
COULD YOU READ
THE INSCRIPTION
ON THE INSIDE COVER
OF THE BIBLE?
YEAH. IT READS, UH...
"TO MY LOVING SON,
TIMOTHY."
THANK YOU.
WHAT ELSE WAS FOUND
DURING YOUR SEARCH?
WE FOUND NUMEROUS
PARKING SLIPS
AND TICKETS TO FIVE
LOCAL AREA COLLEGES.
WE FOUND A REMINGTON
HUNTING KNIFE,
AND WE ALSO FOUND
A BOX OF CONDOMS.
AND WHAT BRAND
OF CONDOMS,
DETECTIVE?
PERCIVALS.
THANK YOU.
YOUR WITNESS.
JUST ONE QUESTION,
DETECTIVE RYDELL.
HAVE YOU EVER PURCHASED
A PERCIVAL CONDOM?
[ROSENTHAL]
OBJECTION!
YOUR HONOR,
OUR INTENT HERE
IS CERTAINLY
NOT TO HUMILIATE
OR EMBARRASS
A WITNESS.
SIMPLY TO ESTABLISH
THE PREPONDERANCE
OF THIS PRODUCT.
YOU MAY ANSWER
THE QUESTION,
DETECTIVE RYDELL.
WELL, UH...
WELL, YEAH,
BUT THAT WAS
QUITE A LONG TIME AGO.
THANK YOU,
DETECTIVE.
AND THOUGH YOU HAVEN' PURCHASED ONE
IN SOME TIME,
YOU'LL BE HAPPY
TO KNOW
THAT IT HASN' HURT SALES.
THE PERCIVAL CONDOM,
ACCORDING
TO THIS REPORT,
SUBMITTED AS EXHIBIT D,
YOUR HONOR,
IS THE SECOND-LARGEST SELLING
CONDOM IN THE UNITED STATES.
FOR YOUR PERUSAL.
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.
[JUDGE]
O.K. WELL, LET'S ADJOURN
FOR THE DAY, FOLKS.
HERE. LET ME
HELP YOU WITH THAT.
THANKS.
YOU'RE NOT THAT EASY
TO GET AHOLD OF.
I'VE BEEN CALLING YOU
FOR WEEKS, YOU KNOW.
OH, YEAH.
WE HAVEN'T BEEN
HOME MUCH LATELY.
WE'VE BEEN
LOOKING AT HOUSES,
THINKING
ABOUT MOVING.
YEAH?
MM-HMM.
HOW'S GLENN?
HE'S GOOD.
OH, I'M SORRY.
THIS FREEZER.
WE DON'T HAVE
ANY ICE.
THE ONLY COLD THING
I CAN OFFER YOU,
I THINK, IS MILK.
OH,
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
I'LL JUST DRINK
THE WARM TEA.
YOU SURE?
OH, YEAH.
THIS IS FINE.
UH, WHERE
ARE YOUR GLASSES?
RIGHT OVER HERE.
I'M FLATTERED.
YOU SHOWERED FOR ME.
YEAH.
WASHED MY HAIR,
AND, UH...
I EVEN IRONED
MY SHIRT.
REALLY?
YEAH.
COME ON.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
IT'S A BRAND-NEW SHIRT.
IT'S BLUE.
BLUE. IT'S GOT A LITTLE
GREEN AND GRAY.
YOU'D LIKE IT.
OH, YEAH?
YEAH.
THANK YOU.
HERE YOU GO.
THANKS.
THEY'RE...THEY'RE
GOING TO SUBPOENA ME.
THAT'S WHY
YOU'RE HERE, ISN'T IT?
UM...
YES, THEY ARE.
BUT I'M HERE
BECAUSE I...
ALSO WANTED
TO SEE YOU.
I'M GLAD.
I'M GLAD I GE TO SEE YOU, TOO.
IS THAT BECAUSE
YOU'RE LEAVING?
I SAW THE TICKETS
ON THE REFRIGERATOR.
MONTANA.
WE'RE GOING TO SEE
GLENN'S PARENTS
FOR A WHILE.
WITHOUT YOU, THERE'S
A GOOD POSSIBILITY
THAT THIS GUY
WON'T BE CONVICTED.
WITH ME,
THERE'S A GOOD
POSSIBILITY, TOO.
RIGHT?
YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU CAME INTO
MY OFFICE, EMMY,
I HAVE TO SAY
I DID HAVE
MY DOUBTS.
BLIND WITNESS.
BUT, UH...
I THINK
YOU'RE AMAZING.
I DO.
TO GO THROUGH
WHAT YOU WEN THROUGH,
I DON'T THINK
I COULD HAVE--
AS A MATTER
OF FACT,
I KNOW I COULDN' HAVE DONE THAT.
BUT WE HAVE TO FINISH
WHAT WE STARTED.
HE'S OU ON THE STREET, JACK.
HIS LAWYER
DESCRIBED HIM
AS A DEEPLY
RELIGIOUS MAN,
AND THEN THEY
SET HIM OUT ON BAIL.
WITHOUT YOU,
WE HAVE NO CASE.
WITH ME,
YOU HAVE NO CASE!
I'VE DONE EVERYTHING.
I'VE TRIED.
IT DOESN'T HELP!
I DON'T WANT TO
GO THROUGH MY HATRED
AND MY SHAME!
I DON'T WANT TO
STAND IN FRON OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE
AND HAVE THEM
STARE AT ME!
NO!
LET ME TALK
TO GLENN.
NO! IT'S NOT GOING
TO CHANGE ANYTHING.
JACK, PLEASE
JUST LEAVE, O.K.?
EMMY...
PLEASE.
O.K.
YOU DO KNOW
THEY'LL COME
LOOKING FOR YOU.
WILL YOU TELL THEM
WHERE WE'RE GOING?
NO, I WON'T.
LARRY WALKER
IS A KILLER.
DON'T LET HIM
RILE YOU.
I'LL BE FINE.
I'LL BE COOL.
YOU MEAN, LIKE YOU WERE
ON THE ARNOLD CASE?
HEY, YOU WON
THAT CASE.
IN SPITE OF YOU,
NOT BECAUSE.
HERE'S OUR REPLY BRIEF
ON THE MOTION TO SUPPRESS.
NOW, WALKER'S
NOT GOING TO BITE
ON THIS WHOLE
SCHOOLROOM SCENARIO.
HE KNOWS HE'S GOT US
BY THE SHORT HAIRS THERE.
MY GUESS IS
HE'LL COME AT YOU
WITH EVERYTHING
HE HAS ON THE SKETCH.
YOU GO THE ARTICLE?
YEAH, YEAH.
O.K. GOOD. NOW,
DON'T BRING IT OU UNLESS HE GIVES YOU
AN OPENING.
WE CAN ALWAYS INTRODUCE I AS EVIDENCE LATER.
AND BE COOL.
I'M COOL,
COOL, COOL.
FIX YOUR TIE.
O.K. LET'S GO.
O.K.
YOU STATED THA YOU SAW THIS INDIVIDUAL
FROM BEHIND
AS HE STABBED
THE SECURITY GUARD
IN THE CORRIDOR.
CAN YOU DESCRIBE
THIS PERSON?
WELL, HE'S
ABOUT 6 FEET TALL,
HEAVYSET,
DARK BROWN HAIR.
YOUR HONOR,
MAY THIS DRAWING
BE MARKED
PEOPLE'S EXHIBI NUMBER FIVE.
DID YOU MAKE
THIS DRAWING,
MR. WHITFIELD?
YES, I DID.
IT'S A FLOOR PLAN
OF THE CLASSROOM
AND THE CORRIDOR
WHERE THE ATTACK
TOOK PLACE.
MR. WHITFIELD,
WHAT DID YOU DO
IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU SAW
THE SUSPECT RUNNING AWAY?
I RAN INTO THE CORRIDOR
AND PULLED THE FIRE ALARM,
AND THEN I HEARD
MRS. O'CONNER SCREAM.
DID YOU FIND
OR ENCOUNTER ANYONE
OTHER THAN MS. O'CONNER?
NO.
IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY
OUT OF THIS BUILDING
OTHER THAN THE CORRIDOR
THROUGH WHICH
THE KILLER EXITED--
A WINDOW,
A SIDE DOOR PERHAPS?
WELL, THERE'S
ANOTHER DOOR
AT THE OTHER END
OF THE CORRIDOR,
BUT THAT WAS LOCKED.
THEN WOULD IT BE
CORRECT TO ASSUME
THAT THE SAME INDIVIDUAL
WHO ATTACKED
BOTH YOU
AND MS. O'CONNER
IN THE CLASSROOM
IS THE SAME INDIVIDUAL
WHO KILLED
THE SECURITY GUARD?
YES. IT HAD TO BE.
THANK YOU.
MR. WHITFIELD...
YOU COMPOSED
THIS SKETCH
FROM A DESCRIPTION
PROVIDED FOR YOU
BY MRS. O'CONNER,
WHO IS BLIND.
IS THAT CORRECT?
YES.
LET'S TALK
ABOUT THIS SKETCH
FOR A MINUTE,
SHALL WE?
NOW, WE ALREADY
HEARD YOU TESTIFY
THAT MRS. O'CONNER
TOLD YOU
SHE MANAGED TO
RUN HER HANDS
OVER HER ATTACKER'S
FACE.
WELL, THAT MIGH EXPLAIN THE SHAPE,
PERHAPS THE NOSE,
BUT THE HAIR COLOR?
HOW COULD SHE TELL
WHAT COLOR
HER ATTACKER'S
HAIR WAS
IF SHE IS BLIND,
MR. WHITFIELD?
MRS. O'CONNER'S BEEN BLIND
SINCE SHE WAS A CHILD.
HER SENSE OF TOUCH
IS EXTREMELY ACUTE,
AND SHE WAS
ABLE TO TOUCH
HER ATTACKER'S HAIR
AND BY THE TEXTURE,
DETERMINED
THAT IT WAS BROWN.
I JUST HAVE SUCH
A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
YOU KNOW,
I WISH I COULD
HAVE BEEN THERE.
I WISH WE ALL
COULD HAVE WITNESSED
SUCH AN UNBELIEVABLE
FEAT.
YOU DON'T HAVE
TROUBLE WITH THAT,
MR. WHITFIELD?
I DID AT FIRST.
AND WHAT IS THIS?
IT'S AN ARTICLE
FROM THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
ABOUT A BIOLOGIS WHO'S BEEN BLIND
SINCE BIRTH.
OBJECTION,
YOUR HONOR.
THE DEFENSE HAS HAD
NO TIME TO PERUSE
THIS MATERIAL.
LET'S HAVE
A LOOK AT THIS.
I'M GOING TO ALLOW THIS
FOR THE TIME BEING.
UH...
MR. WALKER,
IF AT ANOTHER TIME,
YOU WISH TO CHALLENGE
THE VERACITY OF THIS ARTICLE,
YOU MAY DO SO.
YOU MAY PROCEED,
MR. WHITFIELD.
THANK YOU.
THE BIOLOGIS HAD DIFFICULTY
GETTING
INTO GRADUATE SCHOOL
BECAUSE
OF HIS BLINDNESS,
BUT WHEN HE IDENTIFIED
25 DIFFEREN BIOLOGICAL SPECIMENS
BY TOUCH...
HE GOT IN.
THIS HEARSAY IS ALL
VERY DRAMATICALLY
INTERESTING,
MR. WHITFIELD,
BUT TELL
ME SOMETHING.
IN YOUR OPINION,
HAS ANY EYEWITNESS
EVER PROVIDED
A MORE ACCURATE
DESCRIPTION
OF
A POSSIBLE SUSPEC THAN MRS. O'CONNER
DID WITH HERS?
WELL, YES, BUT--
WELL, HOW MANY?
I DON'T KNOW.
WELL, ONE? TWO?
A DOZEN?
MAYBE SIX OR SEVEN.
I SEE.
YOUR HONOR...
THE DEFENSE SUBMITS
THE FOLLOWING
AS EXHIBITS
H, I, AND J.
THANK YOU.
MR. WHITFIELD,
DID YOU MAKE
THIS SKETCH?
YES.
COULD YOU BRIEFLY
INFORM THE COUR OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES
IN WHICH THIS SKETCH
WAS MADE?
THIS MAN WAS
A MURDER SUSPECT.
HIS NAME IS
BYRON DOUGLAS.
AHA.
CAN YOU IDENTIFY
THE MAN IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH?
BYRON DOUGLAS.
QUITE A GOOD LIKENESS,
WOULDN'T YOU SAY?
SO GOOD THAT BYRON DOUGLAS
WAS CONVICTED
AND SPENT THREE YEARS
IN JAIL
BEFORE BEING ACQUITTED.
IS THAT CORRECT,
MR. WHITFIELD?
PLEASE ANSWER
YES OR NO?
YES.
DO YOU KNOW
WHO THIS IS,
MR. WHITFIELD?
I BELIEVE YOU DO.
THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH
TAKEN OF PAUL STUBIN
AT HIS ARREST.
PAUL STUBIN
IS THE MAN
WHO ACTUALLY
COMMITTED THE MURDER--
OBJECTION. IRRELEVAN AND ARGUMENTATIVE.
WITH YOUR HELP--
THAT WAS THE MAN
THE WITNESS DESCRIBED TO ME.
YOU'RE TELLING ME THA YOU NEVER MISINTERPRE A WITNESS' DESCRIPTION?
IT'S PRETTY DAMN
DIFFICULT.
AND WHY IS THAT?
WHY IS THAT,
MR. WHITFIELD?
BECAUSE I SHOW
THEM THE DRAWING.
YOU SHOW THEM
THE DRAWING.
THAT WASN' SO EASY TO DO
WITH MRS. O'CONNER,
WAS IT?
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.
HEY.
WHAT, YOU DIDN' HEAR ME
BANGING ON
THE FRONT DOOR?
YEAH, I HEARD YOU.
DRINK?
NO. I'LL PASS.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST PU A STRAW IN THE BOTTLE?
ROSENTHAL ASKED
FOR A FIVE-DAY RECESS,
AND THE JUDGE DENIED.
LOOKS BAD.
NO, HE'S OUT, GEORGE.
HE'S OUT.
HE'S GOT ALL
HIS DADDY'S MONEY,
AND HE'S GOT--
HE'S GOT A ROOMFUL
OF LAWYERS,
YOU KNOW, WITH
THE FANCY SUITS,
PLEADING HIS CASE.
JUSTICE HAS ALWAYS BEEN
OVERRATED ANYWAY.
I COULD DO SOMETHING.
WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO, GEORGE?
YOU GOING TO BRIBE
THE JUDGE?
LISTEN TO ME,
ALL RIGHT, JACK?
YEAH.
LISTEN.
ROTHKO DOESN'T HAVE TO
MAKE IT TILL MONDAY.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WE COULD KILL
THE FUCK, JACK,
JUST FUCKING
GET RID OF HIM.
AND YOU WAN TO KNOW SOMETHING?
I KNOW PEOPLE
THREE TIMES REMOVED
WHO WOULD DO I FOR NOTHING.
NOTHING, MAN.
NOTHING BUT A FAVOR
LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD.
JACK.
JACK.
THE GUY
HAS NO SOUL, MAN.
GEORGE...
I THINK
YOU SHOULD GO HOME.
I THINK YOU
OUGHT TO GO HOME,
AND YOU OUGHT TO
TAKE YOUR WIFE
INTO YOUR ARMS
AND HOLD HER AND...
AND THINK ABOU WHAT YOU JUST SAID.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
AHH.
WHOO!
SUBURBS.
HOW ABOUT SUBURBS?
YOU GOT SUBURBS
UP THERE?
IN THE TOWN
OF CHEYENNE,
I HAVE A LISTING
FOR A LOIS O'CONNER
ON RIVER ROAD.
THAT'S GOT TO BE IT.
GIVE ME THEIR NUMBER.
SORRY, SIR.
IT'S AN UNPUBLISHED
LISTING.
OH, COME ON.
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY.
I'M STUCK HERE.
SORRY, SIR.
I'M NOT ALLOWED.
HOW ABOUT THE ADDRESS?
CAN YOU GIVE ME THE ADDRESS?
I GAVE YOU THE ADDRESS,
SIR, ON RIVER ROAD.
OH, THAT'S RIGHT.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
DO YOU SWEAR
TO TELL THE TRUTH,
THE WHOLE TRUTH,
AND NOTHING
BUT THE TRUTH,
SO HELP YOU GOD?
SO HELP ME GOD.
PLEASE STATE
YOUR NAME.
TIMOTHY ROTHKO.
TIMOTHY, DID YOU
HAVE ANYTHING
WHATSOEVER TO DO
WITH THE MURDERS
OF SANDRA HAYES,
ERIN KIRKWOOD,
AND HENRY DRISCOLL?
NO.
HAVE YOU EVER
SEXUALLY ASSAULTED
ANYONE, TIMOTHY?
NO.
TIMOTHY,
IS THIS YOUR BIBLE?
YES, IT IS.
IF YOU WOULD FLIP
THROUGH THE PAGES
FOR A MOMENT, PLEASE.
DID YOU UNDERLINE
THOSE PASSAGES?
NO.
I WOULD HAVE NO REASON
TO SCRIBBLE IN MY BIBLE.
AND WHY IS THAT?
I CONSIDER MYSELF
A STUDENT OF THAT BOOK, SIR.
I KNOW THE BIBLE
NEARLY WORD FOR WORD.
YOU MEAN IF I WERE
TO TAKE THIS BIBLE
AND DO THIS...
COULD YOU RECITE, SAY,
GALATIANS, CHAPTER 6,
VERSE 12?
"FOR WE WRESTLE NO WITH FLESH AND BLOOD,
"BUT AGAINS PRINCIPALITIES,
"AGAINST POWERS,
AGAINST THE RULERS
OF DARKNESS OF THIS--"
THANK YOU, TIMOTHY.
REVELATIONS,
CHAPTER 3, VERSE 2.
"IN THE SIGH OF THE UNWISE,
THEY SEEM TO DIE.
"AND THEIR DEPARTURE
IS TAKEN FROM MISERY.
"AND THEY'RE GOING FROM US
TO THE UTTER DESTRUCTION,
BUT THEY ARE IN PEACE."
AMEN.
AMEN.
SO I WAS GOING
TO RUN OVER
TO PETER MORTENSON'S
AND SAY HELLO
BEFORE PEOPLE
STARTED TO CALL US
A COUPLE OF HERMITS.
WHY DON'T YOU COME?
I'M SORRY. I JUST--
I DON'T FEEL UP TO IT.
O.K.
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
BYE.
[MOSQUITOES BUZZING]
THANK YOU.
YEAH, THIS IS
NICE HERE,
EXCEPT FOR
THE MOSQUITOES.
I THINK
I COULD GET USED
TO THIS PLACE.
IT'S BEEN
IN GLENN'S FAMILY
SINCE HE WAS LITTLE.
I USED TO SPEND
THE SUMMERS UP HERE.
LOIS, GLENN'S MOTHER,
WANTED TO SELL I A FEW YEARS AGO,
BUT GLENN
TALKED HER OUT OF IT.
WELL, THAT'S GOOD.
I THINK THAT'S HIM NOW.
HOW DID YOU FIND US?
I SAW THE TICKETS
ON THE REFRIGERATOR,
REMEMBER?
I ALSO GOT ACCESS
TO GLENN'S WORK FILES
AND GOT LUCKY
ON A FEW THINGS.
WHAT DO YOU WANT, JACK?
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
HELLO, GLENN.
HELLO, JACK.
I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE
STAYING THERE
WITHOUT YOU, EM.
GLAD I CAME BACK.
SO, YOU HERE
TO GIVE US THE NEWS
ON THE BIG TRIAL,
JACK?
DO YOU THINK BECAUSE
YOU'RE OUT SOMEWHERE
WHERE NOBODY CAN SEE YOU
THAT THIS THING IS OVER?
YES. YES, I DO
THINK IT'S OVER.
AT LEAST FOR EMMY,
IT'S OVER.
NO, IT'S NOT.
IT'S JUST BEGINNING.
THE MAN WHO RAPED
YOUR WIFE--
NO, NO--
NOW WAIT A SECOND.
LISTEN TO ME.
THE MAN
WHO RAPED YOUR WIFE,
WHO DID THIS TO EMMY,
HE ALSO MURDERED
AND RAPED TWO OTHER WOMEN,
AND HE KILLED
A SECURITY GUARD,
AND NOW THIS GUY'S
GOING TO GO FREE.
AND THEN HE'S GOING
TO HURT SOMEBODY ELSE,
SOMEBODY'S SISTER, DAUGHTER,
SOMEBODY ELSE'S WIFE.
YEAH, WELL, IT WON' BE MY WIFE.
MY ONLY CONCERN
IS FOR MY WIFE.
I DON'T WAN TO SEE HER
HUMILIATED AGAIN.
SO, PLEASE, JACK,
GO WIN YOUR TRIAL.
JUST WIN I SOME OTHER WAY.
WE CAN'T.
IT'S NOT MY CONCERN.
YES, IT IS
YOUR CONCERN.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT,
GLENN?
IT IS YOUR CONCERN
BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE
CAN HELP ME HERE.
DON'T YOU
UNDERSTAND?
THIS GUY HAS
THE BEST DEFENSE
ATTORNEYS
THAT MONEY CAN BUY,
THE BEST,
AND THEY'LL
LET HIM GO FREE.
HE'LL WALK
THE STREETS AGAIN,
AND HE'LL
DO THIS AGAIN.
I DON'T CARE.
I JUST WANT YOU
TO GO AWAY FROM MY HOUSE.
STOP IT!
BOTH OF YOU.
YOU BOTH ACT AS THOUGH
I'M NOT EVEN IN THE ROOM,
LIKE I'M NOT EVEN HERE.
THIS IS MY LIFE.
I WAS ATTACKED.
I WAS RAPED.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I WILL DECIDE
WHAT I AM GOING TO DO
OR NOT DO FROM NOW ON.
FIRST OF ALL,
LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR
THAT WE ALL
PERCEIVE YOU
AS AN EXTREMELY
COURAGEOUS WOMAN,
MRS. O'CONNER.
WHATEVER TRANSPIRED
THAT NIGH AT THE COLLEGE
HAD TO BE
UNIMAGINABLY TRAUMATIC.
NOW, YOU CLAIM
YOU IDENTIFIED
THE MAN
WHO ALLEGEDLY
ATTACKED YOU
IN YOUR HOME
BY TOUCHING
HIS FACE.
WOULD THA BE CORRECT?
YES.
DID YOU ALSO TOUCH
THE FACE OF THE MAN
WHO ATTACKED YOU
IN YOUR CLASSROOM?
NO.
WELL, THEN HOW CAN
YOU BE CERTAIN
THAT THE ATTACKER
IN YOUR HOME
IS THE SAME MAN
WHO ATTACKED YOU
IN YOUR CLASSROOM?
BECAUSE OF
WHAT HE SAID TO ME.
THE BIBLICAL REFERENCES.
HE SAID THEM BOTH TIMES.
MM-HMM.
I HAVE HERE A COPY
OF THE STATEMEN YOU GAVE TO THE POLICE.
IN THESE REPORTS
YOU STATED
THAT THE FIRST ATTACKER
WHISPERED TO YOU.
IS THAT CORRECT?
YES.
NOW, ACCORDING TO
YOUR STATEMENTS
MADE AFTER
THE SECOND ATTACK,
THIS ATTACKER,
QUOTE, "SAID TO ME,
I KNEW YOU'D DO IT."
DID THE SECOND
ATTACKER WHISPER?
OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.
COUNSEL IS MAKING
AN ASSUMPTION
DISGUISED AS FACT.
SUSTAINED.
PROCEED, COUNSELOR.
MRS. O'CONNER,
DID THE MAN
WHO ATTACKED YOU
IN YOUR CLASSROOM
WHISPER OR SPEAK
IN A NORMAL VOICE?
NORMAL.
NORMAL.
DURING THE FIRST ATTACK,
THE MAN WHISPERED.
DURING THE SECOND ATTACK,
THE MAN SPOKE NORMALLY.
IS THAT CORRECT?
YES.
YOU HAD
NO PHYSICAL CONTAC WITH THE MAN
WHO ATTACKED YOU
IN YOUR CLASSROOM,
YET YOU MANAGED
TO TOUCH THE MAN
YOU SAY ATTACKED
YOU IN YOUR HOME.
YES, I MANAGED.
HOW LONG
WERE YOU ABLE
TO TOUCH THIS MAN,
MRS. O'CONNER?
A FEW SECONDS?
NO. IT WAS LONGER.
MUCH LONGER?
NO.
WELL, HOW LONG,
THEN?
A HALF A MINUTE, MAYBE.
I DON'T REMEMBER.
CAN YOU TELL ME
WHY THIS MAN
WHO WAS BRUTALLY
ATTACKING YOU
WOULD LET YOU
RUN YOUR HANDS
OVER HIS FACE?
NO, I CAN'T.
CAN'T YOU? I MEAN,
WERE YOU FIGHTING HIM
OR PUSHING HIM AWAY
WHEN YOU TOUCHED HIM?
NO, NOT THEN, BUT I HAD
FOUGHT HIM EARLIER.
OH, SO YOU WEREN' HOLDING HIM AWAY
OR AT BAY WHEN
YOU TOUCHED HIM.
WAS THIS TOUCHING,
THEN, MORE LIKE
A CARESS?
NO, IT WASN'T.
I TRIED TO MAKE I SEEM THAT WAY.
YOU'RE TELLING ME
THAT WHILE THIS MAN
WAS RAPING YOU,
THREATENING YOU
WITH A KNIFE,
YOU HAD
THE PRESENCE OF MIND
TO MAKE AN ATTEMP TO IDENTIFY THIS MAN?
IS IT POSSIBLE
THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE
ENCOURAGED HIM?
THAT YOU
MIGHT HAVE EVEN--
I WAS RAPED.
I WAS ATTACKED
IN MY BEDROOM
IN MY OWN HOUSE.
YOUR HONOR?
MRS. O'CONNER,
I AM FORCED TO CAUTION YOU
TO PLEASE TRY
TO CONTAIN YOUR EMOTIONS.
YOU MAY CONTINUE, COUNSELOR.
JUST ONE
LAST QUESTION,
MRS. O'CONNER,
IF YOU PLEASE.

PLEASE SPEAK

[MANIACAL LAUGHTER]
AND GOD SAID UNTO THE WOMAN,
"WHAT HAS THOU DONE?"
AND THE WOMAN,

[DOOR OPENING]
WHOO!
HE'S OUT!
WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
YOU'RE BLIND!
HE'S OUT!
HE NEVER
TOUCHED HIM!
HE TOUCHED HIM
WITH HIS GLOVE!
HE HAD THE BALL
IN THE OTHER HAND!
WHO ARE YOU
WORKING FOR?
YOU'VE BEEN SNIFFING
ON SOMETHING?
GET OUT OF HERE.
ONE MORE WORD,
AND YOU'RE GONE.
GO ON!
COME ON. LET'S GO.
GO GET 'EM!

VICKI, SIT DOWN.
HUH?

HE'S A STIFF!
PUT VICKI

WE WANT TO WIN
THIS GAME.
AND SO DOES BEEKS!
EVERYBODY PLAYS.
THOSE ARE THE RULES.

BEEKS, NO!
OH!

THROW!
COME ON. GET THE BALL!
COME ON!
OH, JESUS CHRIST!
HOW COULD YOU
PUT BEEKS IN?
HE'S COST US
TWO GAMES ALREADY.
HIS FATHER PAID FOR
THE UNIFORMS.
WE ARE
THE BEST-DRESSED LOSERS,
BUT HE SUCKS.
GEORGE, YOU KNOW
THE RULES.
EVERYBODY PLAYS.
THINGS WON' BE SO COZY
BETWEEN YOU
AND VICK
SINCE YOU REPLACED HER.
NOTHING'S GOING ON
BETWEEN US.
FINE.
HEY, GENTS.
WE FOUND HER
LAST NIGH LYING OVER A BOULDER
IN GRIFFITH PARK.
NO I.D.
SHE HAD A LITTLE
SILVER CROSS
NEXT TO HER.
THAT'S IT.
NO CLOTHES, NOTHING.
AND WHOEVER RAPED HER
REALLY DID A GOOD JOB.
THEN THERE'S HER FACE.
WELL, THERE IS NO FACE.
SOMEBODY USED
A COMBAT KNIFE ON HER.
WE COUNTED 112 STROKES.
HE WENT TO
THE CHEEKBONES
ON SOME OF THEM.
O.K.
HOW OLD IS SHE?
COULDN'T BE
MORE THAN 20.
MMM, 22, MAYBE.
SHE BLED TO DEATH.
HE SLICED CLEAN THROUGH
HER CAROTID ARTERY--
AFTER HE CUT HER UP.
JACK, YOU THINK
THERE'S ENOUGH LEF SO YOU CAN SKETCH
WHAT SHE
USED TO LOOK LIKE?
GET A PHOTOGRAPHER
IN HERE.
I CAN'T--
JACK.
I CAN'T DO IT,
ALL RIGHT?
I'LL WORK OFF
A PHOTOGRAPH.
JACK!
HEY, SLUGGER.
TOUGH LOSS, HUH?
IT'S THE BES OUT OF THREE.
DON'T WORRY.
ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
THOUGHT YOU HAD
A VACATION COMING.
STARTING TOMORROW.
BUT, UH, I'LL BE
READY ON SATURDAY.
I'LL BE THERE,
TOO.
HEY, COACH
GANDHI.
DON'T BOTHER ME,
ZIP.
JACK, ROSENTHAL
CALLED.
SHE WANTS
THE MODEL
OF THE BANK
DONE BY MONDAY.
SHIT.
BUG SOMEBODY ELSE.
I'M BUSY.
YOU'RE ABOUT TO
GET BUSIER.
OUR FUN BOY WITH
THE CUTLERY?
WE GO AN EYEWITNESS.
REALLY?
EMMY O'CONNER.
SHE'S
IN YOUR OFFICE.
THERE'S JUS ONE THING.
WHAT?
SHE'S BLIND.
WHAT?
SHE CAN'T SEE.
THAT'S FUNNY.
MRS. O'CONNER?
EMMY. YES.
IN CASE THEY HAVEN' TOLD YOU,
YOU'RE IN THE PIGSTY
OF JACK WHITFIELD.
AND YOU'RE
MR. WHITFIELD.
CAN I GET YOU COFFEE?
BONNIE!
NO, REALLY.
I'M FINE.
YOU SURE?
HAVE A SEAT HERE.
WE'LL GET STARTED.
YOU'LL HAVE TO
HELP ME.
HERE WE GO.
YOU NEED ANYTHING,
JACK?
NO. NO, THANKS, BONNIE.
THANK YOU.
HERE. RIGHT HERE.
UM...
THIS IS, UH...
THIS IS GOING TO BE
A LITTLE TOUGH FOR ME.
GOING TO BE
VERY HARD FOR ME, TOO,
BUT THEN I HAVE
THE ADVANTAGE
OF NOT SEEING
YOUR EXPRESSIONS.
GUESS THIS SEEMS
FAIRLY RIDICULOUS
TO EVERYONE.
NO, NO. IT'S JUS THAT, UH...
BUT IT IS, REALLY,
ISN'T IT?
NO. IT...
YEAH, IT IS.
I MEAN,
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
YOU SAW?
I WAS ABLE
TO TOUCH THE MAN
WHO ATTACKED ME.
I TOUCHED HIS FACE.
I'M HERE TO DESCRIBE HIM.
ARE YOU READY TO LISTEN?
HOT DOG--MUSTARD,
HOLD THE CHILI.
YOU'RE IN COUR TODAY,
HUH,
LIEUTENANT?
WHAT MAKES YOU
SAY THAT?
"HOLD
THE CHILI."
I GET CRAP
ON MY SHIRT.
HA HA!
YOU GOT A PROBLEM,
LOMAN?
EVERYBODY KNOWS
ABOUT YOU AND CHILI.
LIEUTENANT.
LOOK WHO'S HERE.
HELLO, GINA.
WHAT ARE YOU PRESS GUYS
DOING HERE, SLUMMING?
WE'RE JUST BACK FROM
MISSING PERSONS.
ANOTHER WOMAN'S
REPORTED MISSING.
THINK IT MIGHT HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO
WITH
THE SLASHER CASE?
"SLASHER CASE?"
NOT VERY ORIGINAL.
YOU KNOW HOW MANY
MISSING PERSONS REPORTS
ARE FILED IN A DAY?
A LITTLE BIRDIE
TELLS ME YOU HAVE
AN EYEWITNESS.
YOUR LITTLE BIRDIE'S
CUCKOO.
O.K., BUT YOU WILL
LET ME KNOW
IF YOU STUMBLE
ACROSS ONE, RIGHT?
MAKE MY EDITORS
VERY HAPPY.
HOW COULD I RESIS ALL THAT SULTRY
GREEK CHARM?
YEAH, RIGHT.
TRY A BLINDFOLD.
EXCUSE US, PLEASE?
YEAH.
WHEN DID THE MPR
COME IN?
ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.
SAME APPROXIMATE AGE
AS THE FIRST WOMAN.
SHE WAS A STUDEN AT USC.
THE BLIND LADY?
SHE'S WITH WHITFIELD.
GEORGIE'S TALKING
WITH THE HUSBAND.
ANYTHING ELSE
IN COMMON
BESIDES THE KNIFE?
IT'S HIM, UNLESS
SOME OTHER PSYCHO
LEAVES A SILVER CROSS
AT THE SCENE
AFTER HE CARVES
SOMEONE UP.
YOU'RE KIDDING ME.
SAME EXACT KIND,
TOO.
HE'S PROBABLY GO A SHOEBOX FULL
RIGHT NEXT TO
HIS PROZAC.
WE GOT ANYTHING ELSE?
YEAH. WE HAVE
A BLIND EYEWITNESS.
IS THAT TERRIFIC
OR WHAT?
IT SAYS HERE, UH,
YOU TOLD THE DETECTIVE
HE WAS 6 FEET TALL?
YES. MY FEE TOUCHED HIS ANKLES.
WAS HE, UH...
WAS HE HEAVY?
WAS HE A BIG MAN?
UH, HEAVYSET,
STRONG.
ABOUT 200 POUNDS.
YEAH.
O.K.
SO YOU SAID HIS FACE
WAS ROUND AND FULL?
YES. HE HAD A...
A THICK CHIN.
IT WAS A DOUBLE CHIN.
MM-HMM.
AND HIS SKIN WAS SOFT.
I CAN'T REALLY
DRAW THAT.
NO, BUT I THOUGH IT MIGHT GIVE YOU
AN IDEA OF HIS AGE.
HE HAD STUBBLE,
BUT IT WASN'T COARSE.
WOULD YOU SAY
HE WAS 20, 25, 30?
YES, HIS HAIR WAS SHORT,
VERY STRAIGHT,
MAYBE FINGER-LENGTH.
O.K. THAT'S GOOD.
WE'LL HAVE TO WING I ON THE COLOR.
IT WAS BROWNISH.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
I TOUCHED HIS HAIR.
IT WAS VERY FINE
AND SILKY, ALMOST LIMP.
I'VE BEEN BLIND
SINCE I WAS 11,
AND I...
WELL, THERE'S
OTHER WAYS TO SEE.
OTHER WAYS?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YES.
WOULD YOU?
YOUR HAIR IS FINE.
IT'S A TOUCH OILY.
IS IT BROWNISH AS WELL?
YES.
YOUR SKIN STILL HAS
MOISTURE IN IT...
ALTHOUGH YOUR BEARD
IS COARSE.
YOU'RE 35 OR 36.
I'M 36, AND MY HAIR
IS BROWN.
CAN YOU DO THIS
WITH EVERYTHING?
NOT EVERYTHING.
ORGANIC THINGS,
YES, SOMETIMES.
IT'S EASIER
IN THE SUN
BECAUSE
EACH COLOR ABSORBS
A DIFFERENT AMOUN OF HEAT.
MR. O'CONNER,
IT USUALLY TAKES
OUR SKETCH ARTIS ABOUT AN HOUR,
SO YOUR WIFE
SHOULD BE HERE
ANY MINUTE.
WE'RE ALSO
GOING TO HAVE TO
TAKE ANOTHER
LOOK AT YOUR HOME.
YOU GUYS HAVE HAD
A PRETTY GOOD LOOK ALREADY.
WHAT ELSE ARE YOU
GOING TO FIND THERE?
THIS IS JUS A ROUTINE FOLLOW-UP.
WHAT ABOUT HIS EYES?
DID YOU TOUCH HIS EYES?
CAN YOU DESCRIBE THEM?
YES.
THEY WERE CLOSE SET,
VERY LARGE, ROUND...
WITH DEEP EYE SOCKETS.
MM-HMM.
AND HIS NOSE?
IT WAS WIDE,
CAME TO A POINT.
THE CARTILAGE
IN THE FRONT WAS RIPPLED,
LIKE MAYBE HE HAD
BROKEN IT,
AND HE HAD A HARD TIME
BREATHING THROUGH IT.
HOW ABOUT HIS MOUTH?
HIS MOUTH WAS SOFT,
FOR WHAT HE WAS SAYING.
WHAT WAS HE SAYING?
HE WAS SAYING
SOMETHING RELIGIOUS,
MAYBE FROM THE BIBLE,
I DON'T KNOW.
I DON' REMEMBER IT.
THE UPPER LIP HAD
A PRONOUNCED BREAK,
LIKE A "V,"
AND HIS BOTTOM LIP
WAS FULL AND TURNED OUT.
BOTH LIPS WERE
VERY SMOOTH, MOIST.
O.K.
DO YOU REMEMBER
ANYTHING ELSE?
DID YOU TOUCH
A SCAR?
NO.
JUST THAT HE WAS
GOING TO KILL ME.
HE WAS WEARING
THIN RUBBER GLOVES,
AND HE HAD HIS HAND
OVER MY MOUTH,
AND I KNEW HE WAS
GOING TO KILL ME.
AND THEN MY HUSBAND
CAME HOME.
YOUR HUSBAND?
YES.
HE'S--HE'S WAITING
FOR ME.
ARE WE FINISHED?
MR. O'CONNER,
THERE'S SOME
VERY GOOD
RAPE CRISIS CENTERS
AROUND TOWN.
I'D BE HAPPY
TO GIVE YOU
SOME NUMBERS.
THANK YOU.
HI.
YOU O.K.?
HI.
YEAH.
I'M JACK.
HI. GLENN.
HOW'D IT GO?
THANKS TO YOUR WIFE,
WE HAVE A DESCRIPTION NOW.
MRS. O'CONNER,
I'VE GOT TO
GO OVER YOUR
SCHEDULE WITH YOU--
WHEN YOU'RE
AT COLLEGE--
IN CASE I NEED
TO CONTACT YOU.
O.K.
ARE YOU
A STUDENT?
NO. A TEACHER.
I TEACH THREE
NIGHTS A WEEK
AT THE HOLLYWOOD
COMMUNITY
COLLEGE.
GLENN AND I
BOTH TEACH THERE.
MY DESK IS
RIGHT IN FRONT OF US.
THANKS.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
SHE GAVE YOU THIS.
LET ME SEE
THIS AGAIN.
[JACK]
IT'S ALL FROM
HER DESCRIPTION.
WHAT DO YOU SAY,
LIEUTENANT?
ALL OF US CARE
ABOUT THIS WOMAN'S SAFETY,
BUT WE'RE DEALING WITH
A POTENTIAL SERIAL KILLER HERE.
I WANT THIS GUY MUMMIFIED.
WE GOT TO RUN
THE SKETCH.
WHAT IF HE SEES I AND GOES AFTER
THIS POOR GIRL?
JUST HAND IT OU TO OUR GUYS.
GIVE IT A CHANCE.
JACK, WE CAN PU SURVEILLANCE
ON THE O'CONNER
PLACE.
SO A COUPLE GUYS
CAN CATCH UP
ON THEIR SLEEP?
NEVER MIND THAT BULLSHIT.
YOU'RE WORRIED ABOU ONE WOMAN'S SAFETY.
WHAT ABOU EVERYBODY ELSE'S?
I'M JUST ASKING YOU
TO WAIT A WEEK.
IF WE DON'T CATCH
THIS GUY IN A WEEK,
GIVE IT TO THE MEDIA.
THIS GUY NEVER LETS UP.
I GIVE YOU TILL TUESDAY.
THANKS, DAVE.
GOD WILLING,
WE'LL GET LUCKY.
GET OUT, WILL YOU, PLEASE?
I GOT A HEADACHE.
YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN
THAT SHOW, MAN--
HOUSE OF FASHION.
I KNOW
IT'S SOMETHING, MAN.
THERE'S GOT TO BE
SOME CORRELATION
BETWEEN SPANDEX
AND THE INCREASE
IN MIDDLE-AGED
CORONARIES.
DON'T KID YOURSELF.
NEXT TIME I HEAR,
"YOU DON'T LOOK
A DAY OVER 35,"
I'M GOING TO PUKE.
BESIDES, ONCE THEY
FIND OUT I'M DIVORCED,
THEY HEAD FOR THE HILLS.
THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM,
MAN.
YOU GOT TO MAKE THA WORK FOR YOU, JACK.
I WOULD.
O.K. I'LL WORK ON THAT,
DON JUAN.
THERE YOU GO.
[PIANO PLAYING]
HI. COME ON IN.
[JACK]
HELLO, GLENN.
HELLO, DETECTIVE.
MRS. O'CONNER.
JACK.
HELLO, EMMY.
LISTEN, IF I DON' LEAVE NOW,
I'M GOING TO BE
LATE FOR A CLASS.
GO ON, GLENN.
I'LL BE
ALL RIGHT.
YOU SURE?
MM-HMM.
JACK'S GOING
TO DO A FLOOR PLAN,
AND I'M GOING TO
TALK TO NEIGHBORS.
I'M BLOCKING YOU IN,
SO I'LL GE OUT OF YOUR WAY.
BYE.
BYE.
SHALL WE START?
YEAH.
I JUST NEED TO MAKE
A QUICK SKETCH OF, UH...
YES, I KNOW.
NICE HOUSE.
YEAH, USED TO BE.
NOW I'M NOT SO SURE.
I WAS COMING
FROM THE BATHROOM.
UH, EMMY, I'M JUS GOING TO TAKE
A FEW POLAROIDS,
ALL RIGHT?
O.K.
UM...
IT WAS HOT.
WE HAD THE...
THE DOORS OPEN FOR A BREEZE.
JUST A FEW MOMENTS
AFTER I CAME IN HERE,
I...I KNEW THAT SOMEONE
WAS IN THE ROOM WITH ME.
I COULD SMELL PERSPIRATION.
IT WAS LIKE...
WIRES BURNING.
IT WAS FOREIGN.
I...
I KNOW GLENN'S SCENT.
AND THEN I STARTED...
HEADING FOR
THE DOOR, AND...
AND THAT'S
WHEN HE GRABBED ME.
AND HE PUT THE BLADE
OF THE KNIFE
AGAINST MY FACE.
THEN HE DRAGGED ME
TO THE GROUND.
YOU KNOW, I'VE...
I'VE ALREADY
TOLD THE POLICE
ABOU THE ACTUAL RAPE.
I'M...FINISHED IN HERE.
I MEAN, I JUST, UH...
JUST NEED TO TAKE
A COUPLE MEASUREMENTS,
AND I'M GOING TO
GET OUT OF HERE.
I'M SORRY.
I'M JUST NOT SO SURE
ABOUT EVERYTHING.
I MEAN, I COME IN,
AND I TELL YOU
WHAT I KNOW,
AND YOU GET HIM,
BUT THAT'S NO THE WAY
THINGS WORK OUT,
OBVIOUSLY.
THERE'S A UNI THAT CRUISES THE HOUSE
EVERY 15 MINUTES.
O.K.? YOU'RE SAFE,
AND WE HAVE YOUR
DESCRIPTION OF THE GUY.
WE'LL CATCH HIM.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YOU MUS BE EXHAUSTED.
HEY, WHAT TIME
DID YOU GE TO BED, FINALLY?
IT WAS LATE.
UM, I DON'T KNOW.
I HAD TO PREPARE
FOR A CLASS.
YOU STAYED UP LATE
THE NIGHT BEFORE, TOO.
YEAH.
I WASN'T TIRED.
YOUR STUDENTS
MUST BE HAPPY
TO HAVE YOU BACK.
YEAH.
YOU HAVE GREAT KIDS
THIS YEAR,
YOU KNOW THAT?
YEAH, I DO.
I DO.
LISTEN, IS THERE
SOMETHING I COULD DO?
ANYTHING?
ANYTHING AT ALL?
NO.
BUT MY LEGS ARE
FALLING ASLEEP.
OOH!
ONE OF THE DETECTIVES
MENTIONED
THIS RAPE CRISIS CENTER.
YEAH. CAN WE TALK
ABOUT THIS LATER?
YEAH, I'M SORRY.
I'M SORRY.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I'M GOING TO GO
TAKE MY WALK.
DON'T YOU HAVE
A CLASS TO GO TO?
LOOK, LET ME
GO WITH YOU.
GLENN,
I FEEL LIKE I'M ON
THE WITNESS
PROTECTION PROGRAM.
IT'S BROAD DAYLIGHT,
AND THERE'S PEOPLE
EVERYWHERE.
I JUST WAN TO BE BY MYSELF.
ARE YOU NODDING
OR SCOWLING?
A LITTLE BI OF BOTH.
GO AHEAD.
JUST DON'T BE LONG.
STAY BACK.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
THIS IS A CRIME SCENE.
STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE.
THAT'S OUR GUY.
SAME STROKE PATTERN,
WOUND DEPTH,
RECENT VAGINAL
PENETRATION.
IT'S LIKE
THE FIRST ONE
AND THE O'CONNER
WOMAN--NO SEMEN--
BUT I THINK
I KNOW WHY.
YEAH?
I FOUND TRACES
OF A...
OF A LUBRICANT.
I CAN'T TELL
TILL I GET I BACK TO THE LAB,
BUT I THINK
IT'S STUFF THEY USE
TO PACKAGE CONDOMS.
HE LEF ANOTHER CROSS.
SO,
TIME OF DEATH?
WELL, COOL AIR PLAYS GAMES
WITH RIGOR MORTIS,
BUT I'D SAY 6:00,
MAYBE 6:30.
OH, WE GO A NEW TWIST, GUYS.
HE SODOMIZED THIS ONE,
PROBABLY
AFTER SHE DIED.
GUY'S FULL
OF WARMTH
AND COMPASSION,
AIN'T HE?
THEY'VE GO A COUPLE SURFERS.
FOUND THE BODY,
CLAIM THEY KNOW HER.
LET'S GO.
COME ON, RUSTY.
LET'S GO!
[MAN PANTING]

[MAN PANTING]
PLEASE MOVE AWAY FROM ME!
HELLO, EMMY.
[GASP]
SHH!
LISTEN TO ME.
IF YOU COOPERATE
WITH THE POLICE,
ANYONE WHO KNOWS
MUST DIE.
YOU...
GLENN...
ANYONE YOU HAVE TAINTED
WITH THIS FOUL LIE.
I CANNOT ALLOW YOU
OR ANYONE TO STOP ME, EMMY.
DON'T LET ME DOWN.
GLENN!
EMMY?
GLENN!
EMMY!
EMMY, I'M HERE.
WHAT'S WRONG?
HE'S HERE. HE'S
ON THE PARK BENCH.

DEVELOPMENT IN THIS CASE.
A POSSIBLE EYEWITNESS
HAS BEEN FOUND,
BUT THERE IS A HITCH--
THIS EYEWITNESS IS BLIND.
JACK!
SHE ALLEGEDLY SURVIVED
AN ATTACK
BY A KNIFE-WIELDING RAPIS WHO POLICE BELIEVE
IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE BRUTAL MURDERS
OF THE TWO WOMEN.
WHILE POLICE HAVE REFUSED
TO COMMEN ON ANY DETAILS
REGARDING THIS WITNESS,
KMEA LEARNED SHE'S IN HER 20s
AND TEACHES AT A LOCAL COLLEGE.
THIS SKETCH WAS COMPOSED...
LET ME USE
THE PHONE.
...DESCRIPTIONS ALLEGEDLY GIVEN

HE'S BIG.
HE'S GOT DARK HAIR.
YEAH. WELL, THA DOESN'T HELP ME MUCH.
HOW ABOUT HIS FACE?
IT WAS TOO DARK.
I COULDN'T SEE.
DID YOU
SEE ANYTHING?
O.K. LISTEN.
A FEW KIDS OVER HERE
RECOGNIZED HIM
FROM YOUR SKETCH,
AND WE ALSO HAVE
A PARTIAL ON HIS RIDE.
IT WAS AN OLDER MODEL
BLUISH-GRAY CHRYSLER,
MAYBE A LE BARON.
LOOK AT THIS DOOFUS.
IS HE SERIOUS?
ONLY GOT ONE
BRAKE LIGHT, TOO.
YEAH.
WELL...
PULL HIM OVER,
TAKE SOME
OF HIS MONEY
BEFORE VEGAS
GETS ALL OF IT.
[SIREN]

NICE DAY, ISN'T IT?
HERE YOU GO.

AT GAMES OF CHANCE.
ACTUALLY,
I'M ON MY WAY
TO A BIBLE STUDY
RETREAT IN NEVADA,

ON A ROUTINE
VIOLATION.
TIMOTHY...
MY NAME
IS LAWRENCE WALKER.
I'M AN ATTORNEY.
I'M HERE
TO REPRESENT YOU,
AND I WAS SEN BY YOUR FATHER.
HE SAID YOU SMOKE
THIS BRAND.
POOR FATHER.
HE MUS BE DEVASTATED.

THOROUGHLY EXPLORED.
THAT'S FATHER,
ALL RIGHT.
NOW,

TO DETERMINE
BAIL DISPOSITION
OF THE 26th.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND
THE CHARGES BROUGH AGAINST YOU?
I AM GUILTY...
OF NO WRONGDOING.
O.K.

MR. WALKER?
WHAT I BELIEVE
IS OF LITTLE CONSEQUENCE.
I'M HERE TO MAKE
THE JURY BELIEVE YOU.

[TONELLI]
OH, GOOD.
I WANT TO THANK YOU BOTH

THIS IS
OUR PROSECUTING ATTORNEY,
MISS VICTORIA ROSENTHAL.
MR. O'CONNER,
MS. O'CONNER.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
YOU ALREADY HAVE
A SKETCH.
WHY PUT HER
THROUGH THIS?
I'M SORRY FOR HAVING
TO BRING HER HERE,
BUT IT'S CRUCIAL
TO OUR CASE.
O.K. THEN I'M GOING
IN THERE WITH HER.
SORRY.
WE CAN'T ALLOW THAT.
ALL RIGHT.

GLENN...
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
LET'S

AND GE IT OVER WITH.
[GEORGE]
ALL THE MEN
IN THE LINE-UP,
EXCEPT THE SUSPECT,
WORK HERE.
HE'LL BE SHACKLED
AND HANDCUFFED,
AND THERE'LL BE
TWO ARMED GUARDS
IN THERE
THE ENTIRE TIME.
IT SHOULD ONLY TAKE
ABOUT FIVE MINUTES.
THAT'S HOW LONG
THE RAPE TOOK.
[TONELLI]
CAN WE DO THIS,
PLEASE?
THANK YOU.
[WOMAN]
THIS WAY, MISS.
[EMMY]
GET ME OUT OF HERE.
GET ME OUT OF HERE.
GET ME OUT OF HERE!
[GLENN]
DAMN IT!
GEORGE,
GIVE THEM
A HAND, WILL YOU?
[ROSENTHAL]
O.K.
I'M GOING TO
TRY THIS CASE,
BUT WINNING?
HERE WE GO.
NUMBER ONE--
ROTHKO'S FATHER RETAINED
MALAMUD, WALKER, AND SKILES.
HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
WHERE'D HE GE THAT KIND OF CASH?
R & D INVESTMENTS,
WALL STREE BROKERAGE HOUSE.
GUESS WHAT THE "R"
STANDS FOR.
LARRY WALKER
WILL EAT US ALIVE
ON THE MURDER CHARGES.
WE'LL PROSECUTE,
BUT OUR BEST SHOT RIGHT NOW
IS RAPE WITH ENHANCEMENT,
DEADLY WEAPON,
BODILY HARM.
WITH A BLIND
WITNESS.
BULLSHIT, VICKI.
MURDER ONE.
HEY, LISTEN TO ME,
DAVE--
NO, NO, NO.
YOU LISTEN TO ME.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR A LEFTY,
ACCORDING TO THE CORONER.
WE GOT ONE,
AND WE'VE GO A PATTERN.
HE STALKS
COLLEGE CAMPUSES.
HE FOLLOWS GIRLS HOME,
RAPES AND MURDERS THEM,
THEN LEAVES A CROSS.
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
WE FIND A BIBLE
IN HIS CAR
WITH ALL KINDS
OF UNDERLINED PASSAGES
ABOUT WOMEN,
AND WE GOT WITNESSES
WHO SAW HIM AT THE COLLEGE
THE NIGH THE SECURITY GUARD
WAS MURDERED.
OH, REALLY. WELL,
JACK WAS THERE.
DOES THAT MEAN
HE KILLED
THE SECURITY GUARD?
OH, COME ON. WE GO THE MURDER WEAPON, RIGHT?
A KNIFE, KNIFE GOUGES IN
THE O'CONNER WOMAN'S HOME.
YOU HAVE A KNIFE,
A CLEAN KNIFE,
AND A KNIFE
THAT I'M TOLD
HAPPENS TO BE
A POPULAR ITEM
WITH NO LESS
THAN 70,000 HUNTERS
IN THIS COUNTY.
[TONELLI]
NEVER MIND
THAT BULLSHIT.
WHAT ABOUT THE O'CONNER WOMAN,
FOR CHRIST'S SAKE?
SHE DESCRIBED HIM.
SHE HAD THE CROSS HE LEFT.
THEN SHE PICKS THE SON
OF A BITCH OUT OF A LINE-UP!
FIRST OF ALL,
I DON'T THINK
WE EVEN HAVE
EMMY O'CONNER.
SHE'S UNWILLING
TO COOPERATE.
WE HAVE
TO SUBPOENA HER,
AND EVEN IF WE DID,
THE DEFENSE WILL RIP
MY HEAD OFF.
SHE'S BLIND!
I NEED MORE!
WE HAVE
ANOTHER WITNESS.
WHO?
WHITFIELD.
JACK WHITFIELD SAW ROTHKO.
GEORGIE SAYS YOU TOLD HIM
IN THE COLLEGE PARKING LO THAT YOU SAW HIM.
THAT'S NO WHAT HE TOLD ME,
LIEUTENANT.
DID SOMEBODY
ASK YOU SOMETHING?
WELL, HOW ABOUT IT,
JACK?
JACK, YOU SAW
WHAT GEORGIE FISHED
OUT OF ROTHKO'S CAR.
YOU KNOW DAMN WELL
HE'S OUR KILLER.
COME ON NOW.
WORK WITH ME.
ROTHKO DID IT,
JACK.
WE MIGHT NOT EVEN
NEED THE GIRL.
I SAW SOMEBODY
HIS SIZE.
WILL YOU
JUST SAY IT,
FOR CHRIST'S SAKE?
LIEUTENANT, COME ON.
GIVE HIM A BREAK.
THE GUY CUT HIM.
WHEN WE GOT TO JACK,
HE WAS PRACTICALLY
GOING INTO SHOCK.
YEAH. WELL,
NOW IT'S MY TURN.
DID YOU OR
DIDN'T YOU SEE HIM,
WHITFIELD?
NO. I DID NO SEE HIS FACE.
FUMBLE.
[TONELLI]
GREAT. JUST...
GREAT.
JUST GREAT.
I'M GOING TO DO A FOLLOW-UP
ON THE COLLEGES,
POKE AROUND
A LITTLE BIT.
IN THE MEANTIME,
I GOT THE LAB BOYS
GOING OVER ROTHKO'S APARTMEN WITH A GODDAMN
ELECTRON MICROSCOPE,
SO MAYBE THEY'LL COME UP
WITH SOMETHING.
YEAH. MAYBE ANOTHER
HACKED-UP DEAD GIRL.
YOU KNOW, I CAN' BELIEVE YOU, WHITFIELD.
LISTEN. WHY DON'T YOU
JUST CAN IT?
WHY DON'T YOU CAN IT?
NO. REALLY, WHITFIELD.
OTHER DAY, YOU'RE CRYING
ABOUT PROTECTING THIS GIRL.
NOW YOU'RE COMING ON
WITH THIS SHI LIKE EVERYBODY'S ASKING
ALTAR BOY JACK
TO RAT ON THE POPE.
THIS IS AN ANIMAL
THAT HACKS UP GIRLS
FOR FUN,
AND YOU'RE
SETTING HIM FREE!
HEY, JACK.
COME ON.
GOD!
COME ON, WHITFIELD!
I'LL KICK YOUR ASS!
FUCK YOU.
HEY, JACK!
FORGET ABOUT THE GIRL.
IT'S YOU WHO ARE BLIND!
IN LOCAL NEWS,
THE TIMOTHY ROTHKO TRIAL
ENTERED ITS FIFTH DAY
OF PROCEEDINGS
WITH A MOTION
FOR DISMISSAL
FROM DEFENSE ATTORNEY
LAWRENCE WALKER.
AFTER MORE THAN FIVE MONTHS
OF LEGAL MANEUVERING,
ROTHKO'S LAWYERS
ARE PRIVATELY OPTIMISTIC
OVER THEIR CHANCES
FOR ACQUITTAL.
SPECULATION CONTINUES
AS TO JUST HOW LONG
ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY
VICTORIA ROSENTHAL
WILL PURSUE THE CASE
WITHOUT BENEFIT OF TESTIMONY
FROM A PRIME WITNESS,
COLLEGE INSTRUCTOR
EMMA LOU O'CONNER.
ROTHKO HAS BEEN CHARGED
WITH THE RAPE
AND ATTEMPTED MURDER
OF MRS. O'CONNER.
SHE IS ROSENTHAL'S
ONLY WITNESS
AND THE KEY
TO THE PROSECUTION'S CASE.
[POUNDING]
[JUDGE]
ALL RIGHT. LET'S HAVE
A LITTLE QUIET IN HERE, PLEASE.
COUNSELOR.
CAN YOU STATE YOUR NAME
AND OCCUPATION, PLEASE?
MY NAME IS
DR. SYDNEY BURROUGHS.
I'M A LICENSED PATHOLOGIS EMPLOYED BY THE COUNTY
OF LOS ANGELES.
CAN YOU
TELL THE COUR THE NATURE
OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP
TO THIS CASE?
I WAS THE ATTENDING PATHOLOGIS WHO PERFORMED AUTOPSIES
ON THE TWO FEMALE DECEDENTS,
SANDRA HAYES
AND ERIN KIRKWOOD.
WERE THERE
ANY SIMILARITIES
IN THE PHYSICAL
CONDITIONS
OF THESE WOMEN
WITH REGARD
TO THE WOUNDS
THEY SUFFERED
AT THE TIME
OF THEIR DEATHS?
YES. THERE WERE
DRAMATIC SIMILARITIES.
BOTH WOMEN SUFFERED
VERY DEEP
AND NUMEROUS
LACERATIONS--
NUMEROUS?
WHAT--10, 20?
OVER 100
IN EACH CASE.
THE VICTIMS'
FACIAL FEATURES
WERE VIRTUALLY
OBLITERATED.
CAN YOU TELL US
HOW THESE WOUNDS
WERE INFLICTED?
BY EVALUATING
THE WOUND CHARACTERISTICS,
THE DEPTH, WIDTH,
TISSUE TRAUMA,
NERVE DAMAGE,
THE PROBABLE INSTRUMEN USED WAS A REMINGTON
COMBAT KNIFE.
IS THERE
ANYTHING ELSE
YOU COULD TELL US
ABOU THE CHARACTERISTICS
OF THESE WOUNDS?
YES. JUDGING
BY THE ANGLE
OF THE WOUNDS
AND THE KIND OF PRESSURE
REQUIRED TO CREATE
THE KIND
OF LACERATIONS,
I'D HAVE TO SAY
THE ASSAILAN WAS LEFT-HANDED.
DR. BURROUGHS,
IS THE DEFENDAN LEFT-HANDED
OR RIGHT-HANDED?
LEFT-HANDED.
CAN YOU TELL
THE COUR WHAT PERCENTAGE
OF THE POPULATION
IS LEFT-HANDED?
THE FIGURE STANDS
AT ABOUT 10%.
IN THE UNITED STATES,
THE FIGURE DROPS
TO JUST UNDER 7%.
I HAVE HERE A COPY
OF YOUR AUTOPSY REPORT.
IT STATES THAT A WHITE
PETROLEUM SILICATE
WAS FOUND TO BE PRESEN IN BOTH WOMEN.
CAN YOU TELL ME WHA THIS SUBSTANCE IS?
YES. IT'S
A LUBRICATING FLUID
THAT'S USED
IN THE PACKAGING
OF CONDOMS.
FROM THE ACTUAL
CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
OF THE PETROLEUM
SILICATE,
WERE YOU ABLE
TO DETERMINE
A SPECIFIC
BRAND NAME
OF THE CONDOMS?
YES.
IT'S
CALLED PERCIVAL.
THANK YOU.
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.
OH, THANK YOU.
[GEORGE]
AN IDENTICAL SILVER CROSS
WAS FOUND WITH EACH
OF THE TWO DEAD GIRLS,
AND THE ASSAILAN WHO ATTACKED MS. O'CONNER
LEFT THE VERY SAME
TYPE OF CROSS WITH HER.
THANK YOU,
DETECTIVE.
NOW, WOULD YOU
TELL THE JURY
WHAT YOU FOUND
WHEN YOU SEARCHED
THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE
JUST AFTER HIS ARREST?
WE FOUND A BIBLE
WITH PASSAGES UNDERLINED
IN RED INK,
AND ALL OF THEM
HAD TO DO WITH WOMEN.
YOUR HONOR,
FOR THE RECORD,
I'M HOLDING A BIBLE
PREVIOUSLY MARKED
PEOPLE'S EXHIBI NUMBER THREE.
DETECTIVE...
COULD YOU READ
THE INSCRIPTION
ON THE INSIDE COVER
OF THE BIBLE?
YEAH. IT READS, UH...
"TO MY LOVING SON,
TIMOTHY."
THANK YOU.
WHAT ELSE WAS FOUND
DURING YOUR SEARCH?
WE FOUND NUMEROUS
PARKING SLIPS
AND TICKETS TO FIVE
LOCAL AREA COLLEGES.
WE FOUND A REMINGTON
HUNTING KNIFE,
AND WE ALSO FOUND
A BOX OF CONDOMS.
AND WHAT BRAND
OF CONDOMS,
DETECTIVE?
PERCIVALS.
THANK YOU.
YOUR WITNESS.
JUST ONE QUESTION,
DETECTIVE RYDELL.
HAVE YOU EVER PURCHASED
A PERCIVAL CONDOM?
[ROSENTHAL]
OBJECTION!
YOUR HONOR,
OUR INTENT HERE
IS CERTAINLY
NOT TO HUMILIATE
OR EMBARRASS
A WITNESS.
SIMPLY TO ESTABLISH
THE PREPONDERANCE
OF THIS PRODUCT.
YOU MAY ANSWER
THE QUESTION,
DETECTIVE RYDELL.
WELL, UH...
WELL, YEAH,
BUT THAT WAS
QUITE A LONG TIME AGO.
THANK YOU,
DETECTIVE.
AND THOUGH YOU HAVEN' PURCHASED ONE
IN SOME TIME,
YOU'LL BE HAPPY
TO KNOW
THAT IT HASN' HURT SALES.
THE PERCIVAL CONDOM,
ACCORDING
TO THIS REPORT,
SUBMITTED AS EXHIBIT D,
YOUR HONOR,
IS THE SECOND-LARGEST SELLING
CONDOM IN THE UNITED STATES.
FOR YOUR PERUSAL.
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.
[JUDGE]
O.K. WELL, LET'S ADJOURN
FOR THE DAY, FOLKS.
HERE. LET ME
HELP YOU WITH THAT.
THANKS.
YOU'RE NOT THAT EASY
TO GET AHOLD OF.
I'VE BEEN CALLING YOU
FOR WEEKS, YOU KNOW.
OH, YEAH.
WE HAVEN'T BEEN
HOME MUCH LATELY.
WE'VE BEEN
LOOKING AT HOUSES,
THINKING
ABOUT MOVING.
YEAH?
MM-HMM.
HOW'S GLENN?
HE'S GOOD.
OH, I'M SORRY.
THIS FREEZER.
WE DON'T HAVE
ANY ICE.
THE ONLY COLD THING
I CAN OFFER YOU,
I THINK, IS MILK.
OH,
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
I'LL JUST DRINK
THE WARM TEA.
YOU SURE?
OH, YEAH.
THIS IS FINE.
UH, WHERE
ARE YOUR GLASSES?
RIGHT OVER HERE.
I'M FLATTERED.
YOU SHOWERED FOR ME.
YEAH.
WASHED MY HAIR,
AND, UH...
I EVEN IRONED
MY SHIRT.
REALLY?
YEAH.
COME ON.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
IT'S A BRAND-NEW SHIRT.
IT'S BLUE.
BLUE. IT'S GOT A LITTLE
GREEN AND GRAY.
YOU'D LIKE IT.
OH, YEAH?
YEAH.
THANK YOU.
HERE YOU GO.
THANKS.
THEY'RE...THEY'RE
GOING TO SUBPOENA ME.
THAT'S WHY
YOU'RE HERE, ISN'T IT?
UM...
YES, THEY ARE.
BUT I'M HERE
BECAUSE I...
ALSO WANTED
TO SEE YOU.
I'M GLAD.
I'M GLAD I GE TO SEE YOU, TOO.
IS THAT BECAUSE
YOU'RE LEAVING?
I SAW THE TICKETS
ON THE REFRIGERATOR.
MONTANA.
WE'RE GOING TO SEE
GLENN'S PARENTS
FOR A WHILE.
WITHOUT YOU, THERE'S
A GOOD POSSIBILITY
THAT THIS GUY
WON'T BE CONVICTED.
WITH ME,
THERE'S A GOOD
POSSIBILITY, TOO.
RIGHT?
YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU CAME INTO
MY OFFICE, EMMY,
I HAVE TO SAY
I DID HAVE
MY DOUBTS.
BLIND WITNESS.
BUT, UH...
I THINK
YOU'RE AMAZING.
I DO.
TO GO THROUGH
WHAT YOU WEN THROUGH,
I DON'T THINK
I COULD HAVE--
AS A MATTER
OF FACT,
I KNOW I COULDN' HAVE DONE THAT.
BUT WE HAVE TO FINISH
WHAT WE STARTED.
HE'S OU ON THE STREET, JACK.
HIS LAWYER
DESCRIBED HIM
AS A DEEPLY
RELIGIOUS MAN,
AND THEN THEY
SET HIM OUT ON BAIL.
WITHOUT YOU,
WE HAVE NO CASE.
WITH ME,
YOU HAVE NO CASE!
I'VE DONE EVERYTHING.
I'VE TRIED.
IT DOESN'T HELP!
I DON'T WANT TO
GO THROUGH MY HATRED
AND MY SHAME!
I DON'T WANT TO
STAND IN FRON OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE
AND HAVE THEM
STARE AT ME!
NO!
LET ME TALK
TO GLENN.
NO! IT'S NOT GOING
TO CHANGE ANYTHING.
JACK, PLEASE
JUST LEAVE, O.K.?
EMMY...
PLEASE.
O.K.
YOU DO KNOW
THEY'LL COME
LOOKING FOR YOU.
WILL YOU TELL THEM
WHERE WE'RE GOING?
NO, I WON'T.
LARRY WALKER
IS A KILLER.
DON'T LET HIM
RILE YOU.
I'LL BE FINE.
I'LL BE COOL.
YOU MEAN, LIKE YOU WERE
ON THE ARNOLD CASE?
HEY, YOU WON
THAT CASE.
IN SPITE OF YOU,
NOT BECAUSE.
HERE'S OUR REPLY BRIEF
ON THE MOTION TO SUPPRESS.
NOW, WALKER'S
NOT GOING TO BITE
ON THIS WHOLE
SCHOOLROOM SCENARIO.
HE KNOWS HE'S GOT US
BY THE SHORT HAIRS THERE.
MY GUESS IS
HE'LL COME AT YOU
WITH EVERYTHING
HE HAS ON THE SKETCH.
YOU GO THE ARTICLE?
YEAH, YEAH.
O.K. GOOD. NOW,
DON'T BRING IT OU UNLESS HE GIVES YOU
AN OPENING.
WE CAN ALWAYS INTRODUCE I AS EVIDENCE LATER.
AND BE COOL.
I'M COOL,
COOL, COOL.
FIX YOUR TIE.
O.K. LET'S GO.
O.K.
YOU STATED THA YOU SAW THIS INDIVIDUAL
FROM BEHIND
AS HE STABBED
THE SECURITY GUARD
IN THE CORRIDOR.
CAN YOU DESCRIBE
THIS PERSON?
WELL, HE'S
ABOUT 6 FEET TALL,
HEAVYSET,
DARK BROWN HAIR.
YOUR HONOR,
MAY THIS DRAWING
BE MARKED
PEOPLE'S EXHIBI NUMBER FIVE.
DID YOU MAKE
THIS DRAWING,
MR. WHITFIELD?
YES, I DID.
IT'S A FLOOR PLAN
OF THE CLASSROOM
AND THE CORRIDOR
WHERE THE ATTACK
TOOK PLACE.
MR. WHITFIELD,
WHAT DID YOU DO
IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU SAW
THE SUSPECT RUNNING AWAY?
I RAN INTO THE CORRIDOR
AND PULLED THE FIRE ALARM,
AND THEN I HEARD
MRS. O'CONNER SCREAM.
DID YOU FIND
OR ENCOUNTER ANYONE
OTHER THAN MS. O'CONNER?
NO.
IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY
OUT OF THIS BUILDING
OTHER THAN THE CORRIDOR
THROUGH WHICH
THE KILLER EXITED--
A WINDOW,
A SIDE DOOR PERHAPS?
WELL, THERE'S
ANOTHER DOOR
AT THE OTHER END
OF THE CORRIDOR,
BUT THAT WAS LOCKED.
THEN WOULD IT BE
CORRECT TO ASSUME
THAT THE SAME INDIVIDUAL
WHO ATTACKED
BOTH YOU
AND MS. O'CONNER
IN THE CLASSROOM
IS THE SAME INDIVIDUAL
WHO KILLED
THE SECURITY GUARD?
YES. IT HAD TO BE.
THANK YOU.
MR. WHITFIELD...
YOU COMPOSED
THIS SKETCH
FROM A DESCRIPTION
PROVIDED FOR YOU
BY MRS. O'CONNER,
WHO IS BLIND.
IS THAT CORRECT?
YES.
LET'S TALK
ABOUT THIS SKETCH
FOR A MINUTE,
SHALL WE?
NOW, WE ALREADY
HEARD YOU TESTIFY
THAT MRS. O'CONNER
TOLD YOU
SHE MANAGED TO
RUN HER HANDS
OVER HER ATTACKER'S
FACE.
WELL, THAT MIGH EXPLAIN THE SHAPE,
PERHAPS THE NOSE,
BUT THE HAIR COLOR?
HOW COULD SHE TELL
WHAT COLOR
HER ATTACKER'S
HAIR WAS
IF SHE IS BLIND,
MR. WHITFIELD?
MRS. O'CONNER'S BEEN BLIND
SINCE SHE WAS A CHILD.
HER SENSE OF TOUCH
IS EXTREMELY ACUTE,
AND SHE WAS
ABLE TO TOUCH
HER ATTACKER'S HAIR
AND BY THE TEXTURE,
DETERMINED
THAT IT WAS BROWN.
I JUST HAVE SUCH
A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
YOU KNOW,
I WISH I COULD
HAVE BEEN THERE.
I WISH WE ALL
COULD HAVE WITNESSED
SUCH AN UNBELIEVABLE
FEAT.
YOU DON'T HAVE
TROUBLE WITH THAT,
MR. WHITFIELD?
I DID AT FIRST.
AND WHAT IS THIS?
IT'S AN ARTICLE
FROM THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
ABOUT A BIOLOGIS WHO'S BEEN BLIND
SINCE BIRTH.
OBJECTION,
YOUR HONOR.
THE DEFENSE HAS HAD
NO TIME TO PERUSE
THIS MATERIAL.
LET'S HAVE
A LOOK AT THIS.
I'M GOING TO ALLOW THIS
FOR THE TIME BEING.
UH...
MR. WALKER,
IF AT ANOTHER TIME,
YOU WISH TO CHALLENGE
THE VERACITY OF THIS ARTICLE,
YOU MAY DO SO.
YOU MAY PROCEED,
MR. WHITFIELD.
THANK YOU.
THE BIOLOGIS HAD DIFFICULTY
GETTING
INTO GRADUATE SCHOOL
BECAUSE
OF HIS BLINDNESS,
BUT WHEN HE IDENTIFIED
25 DIFFEREN BIOLOGICAL SPECIMENS
BY TOUCH...
HE GOT IN.
THIS HEARSAY IS ALL
VERY DRAMATICALLY
INTERESTING,
MR. WHITFIELD,
BUT TELL
ME SOMETHING.
IN YOUR OPINION,
HAS ANY EYEWITNESS
EVER PROVIDED
A MORE ACCURATE
DESCRIPTION
OF
A POSSIBLE SUSPEC THAN MRS. O'CONNER
DID WITH HERS?
WELL, YES, BUT--
WELL, HOW MANY?
I DON'T KNOW.
WELL, ONE? TWO?
A DOZEN?
MAYBE SIX OR SEVEN.
I SEE.
YOUR HONOR...
THE DEFENSE SUBMITS
THE FOLLOWING
AS EXHIBITS
H, I, AND J.
THANK YOU.
MR. WHITFIELD,
DID YOU MAKE
THIS SKETCH?
YES.
COULD YOU BRIEFLY
INFORM THE COUR OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES
IN WHICH THIS SKETCH
WAS MADE?
THIS MAN WAS
A MURDER SUSPECT.
HIS NAME IS
BYRON DOUGLAS.
AHA.
CAN YOU IDENTIFY
THE MAN IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH?
BYRON DOUGLAS.
QUITE A GOOD LIKENESS,
WOULDN'T YOU SAY?
SO GOOD THAT BYRON DOUGLAS
WAS CONVICTED
AND SPENT THREE YEARS
IN JAIL
BEFORE BEING ACQUITTED.
IS THAT CORRECT,
MR. WHITFIELD?
PLEASE ANSWER
YES OR NO?
YES.
DO YOU KNOW
WHO THIS IS,
MR. WHITFIELD?
I BELIEVE YOU DO.
THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH
TAKEN OF PAUL STUBIN
AT HIS ARREST.
PAUL STUBIN
IS THE MAN
WHO ACTUALLY
COMMITTED THE MURDER--
OBJECTION. IRRELEVAN AND ARGUMENTATIVE.
WITH YOUR HELP--
THAT WAS THE MAN
THE WITNESS DESCRIBED TO ME.
YOU'RE TELLING ME THA YOU NEVER MISINTERPRE A WITNESS' DESCRIPTION?
IT'S PRETTY DAMN
DIFFICULT.
AND WHY IS THAT?
WHY IS THAT,
MR. WHITFIELD?
BECAUSE I SHOW
THEM THE DRAWING.
YOU SHOW THEM
THE DRAWING.
THAT WASN' SO EASY TO DO
WITH MRS. O'CONNER,
WAS IT?
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.
HEY.
WHAT, YOU DIDN' HEAR ME
BANGING ON
THE FRONT DOOR?
YEAH, I HEARD YOU.
DRINK?
NO. I'LL PASS.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST PU A STRAW IN THE BOTTLE?
ROSENTHAL ASKED
FOR A FIVE-DAY RECESS,
AND THE JUDGE DENIED.
LOOKS BAD.
NO, HE'S OUT, GEORGE.
HE'S OUT.
HE'S GOT ALL
HIS DADDY'S MONEY,
AND HE'S GOT--
HE'S GOT A ROOMFUL
OF LAWYERS,
YOU KNOW, WITH
THE FANCY SUITS,
PLEADING HIS CASE.
JUSTICE HAS ALWAYS BEEN
OVERRATED ANYWAY.
I COULD DO SOMETHING.
WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO, GEORGE?
YOU GOING TO BRIBE
THE JUDGE?
LISTEN TO ME,
ALL RIGHT, JACK?
YEAH.
LISTEN.
ROTHKO DOESN'T HAVE TO
MAKE IT TILL MONDAY.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WE COULD KILL
THE FUCK, JACK,
JUST FUCKING
GET RID OF HIM.
AND YOU WAN TO KNOW SOMETHING?
I KNOW PEOPLE
THREE TIMES REMOVED
WHO WOULD DO I FOR NOTHING.
NOTHING, MAN.
NOTHING BUT A FAVOR
LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD.
JACK.
JACK.
THE GUY
HAS NO SOUL, MAN.
GEORGE...
I THINK
YOU SHOULD GO HOME.
I THINK YOU
OUGHT TO GO HOME,
AND YOU OUGHT TO
TAKE YOUR WIFE
INTO YOUR ARMS
AND HOLD HER AND...
AND THINK ABOU WHAT YOU JUST SAID.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
AHH.
WHOO!
SUBURBS.
HOW ABOUT SUBURBS?
YOU GOT SUBURBS
UP THERE?
IN THE TOWN
OF CHEYENNE,
I HAVE A LISTING
FOR A LOIS O'CONNER
ON RIVER ROAD.
THAT'S GOT TO BE IT.
GIVE ME THEIR NUMBER.
SORRY, SIR.
IT'S AN UNPUBLISHED
LISTING.
OH, COME ON.
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY.
I'M STUCK HERE.
SORRY, SIR.
I'M NOT ALLOWED.
HOW ABOUT THE ADDRESS?
CAN YOU GIVE ME THE ADDRESS?
I GAVE YOU THE ADDRESS,
SIR, ON RIVER ROAD.
OH, THAT'S RIGHT.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
DO YOU SWEAR
TO TELL THE TRUTH,
THE WHOLE TRUTH,
AND NOTHING
BUT THE TRUTH,
SO HELP YOU GOD?
SO HELP ME GOD.
PLEASE STATE
YOUR NAME.
TIMOTHY ROTHKO.
TIMOTHY, DID YOU
HAVE ANYTHING
WHATSOEVER TO DO
WITH THE MURDERS
OF SANDRA HAYES,
ERIN KIRKWOOD,
AND HENRY DRISCOLL?
NO.
HAVE YOU EVER
SEXUALLY ASSAULTED
ANYONE, TIMOTHY?
NO.
TIMOTHY,
IS THIS YOUR BIBLE?
YES, IT IS.
IF YOU WOULD FLIP
THROUGH THE PAGES
FOR A MOMENT, PLEASE.
DID YOU UNDERLINE
THOSE PASSAGES?
NO.
I WOULD HAVE NO REASON
TO SCRIBBLE IN MY BIBLE.
AND WHY IS THAT?
I CONSIDER MYSELF
A STUDENT OF THAT BOOK, SIR.
I KNOW THE BIBLE
NEARLY WORD FOR WORD.
YOU MEAN IF I WERE
TO TAKE THIS BIBLE
AND DO THIS...
COULD YOU RECITE, SAY,
GALATIANS, CHAPTER 6,
VERSE 12?
"FOR WE WRESTLE NO WITH FLESH AND BLOOD,
"BUT AGAINS PRINCIPALITIES,
"AGAINST POWERS,
AGAINST THE RULERS
OF DARKNESS OF THIS--"
THANK YOU, TIMOTHY.
REVELATIONS,
CHAPTER 3, VERSE 2.
"IN THE SIGH OF THE UNWISE,
THEY SEEM TO DIE.
"AND THEIR DEPARTURE
IS TAKEN FROM MISERY.
"AND THEY'RE GOING FROM US
TO THE UTTER DESTRUCTION,
BUT THEY ARE IN PEACE."
AMEN.
AMEN.
SO I WAS GOING
TO RUN OVER
TO PETER MORTENSON'S
AND SAY HELLO
BEFORE PEOPLE
STARTED TO CALL US
A COUPLE OF HERMITS.
WHY DON'T YOU COME?
I'M SORRY. I JUST--
I DON'T FEEL UP TO IT.
O.K.
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
BYE.
[MOSQUITOES BUZZING]
THANK YOU.
YEAH, THIS IS
NICE HERE,
EXCEPT FOR
THE MOSQUITOES.
I THINK
I COULD GET USED
TO THIS PLACE.
IT'S BEEN
IN GLENN'S FAMILY
SINCE HE WAS LITTLE.
I USED TO SPEND
THE SUMMERS UP HERE.
LOIS, GLENN'S MOTHER,
WANTED TO SELL I A FEW YEARS AGO,
BUT GLENN
TALKED HER OUT OF IT.
WELL, THAT'S GOOD.
I THINK THAT'S HIM NOW.
HOW DID YOU FIND US?
I SAW THE TICKETS
ON THE REFRIGERATOR,
REMEMBER?
I ALSO GOT ACCESS
TO GLENN'S WORK FILES
AND GOT LUCKY
ON A FEW THINGS.
WHAT DO YOU WANT, JACK?
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
HELLO, GLENN.
HELLO, JACK.
I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE
STAYING THERE
WITHOUT YOU, EM.
GLAD I CAME BACK.
SO, YOU HERE
TO GIVE US THE NEWS
ON THE BIG TRIAL,
JACK?
DO YOU THINK BECAUSE
YOU'RE OUT SOMEWHERE
WHERE NOBODY CAN SEE YOU
THAT THIS THING IS OVER?
YES. YES, I DO
THINK IT'S OVER.
AT LEAST FOR EMMY,
IT'S OVER.
NO, IT'S NOT.
IT'S JUST BEGINNING.
THE MAN WHO RAPED
YOUR WIFE--
NO, NO--
NOW WAIT A SECOND.
LISTEN TO ME.
THE MAN
WHO RAPED YOUR WIFE,
WHO DID THIS TO EMMY,
HE ALSO MURDERED
AND RAPED TWO OTHER WOMEN,
AND HE KILLED
A SECURITY GUARD,
AND NOW THIS GUY'S
GOING TO GO FREE.
AND THEN HE'S GOING
TO HURT SOMEBODY ELSE,
SOMEBODY'S SISTER, DAUGHTER,
SOMEBODY ELSE'S WIFE.
YEAH, WELL, IT WON' BE MY WIFE.
MY ONLY CONCERN
IS FOR MY WIFE.
I DON'T WAN TO SEE HER
HUMILIATED AGAIN.
SO, PLEASE, JACK,
GO WIN YOUR TRIAL.
JUST WIN I SOME OTHER WAY.
WE CAN'T.
IT'S NOT MY CONCERN.
YES, IT IS
YOUR CONCERN.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT,
GLENN?
IT IS YOUR CONCERN
BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE
CAN HELP ME HERE.
DON'T YOU
UNDERSTAND?
THIS GUY HAS
THE BEST DEFENSE
ATTORNEYS
THAT MONEY CAN BUY,
THE BEST,
AND THEY'LL
LET HIM GO FREE.
HE'LL WALK
THE STREETS AGAIN,
AND HE'LL
DO THIS AGAIN.
I DON'T CARE.
I JUST WANT YOU
TO GO AWAY FROM MY HOUSE.
STOP IT!
BOTH OF YOU.
YOU BOTH ACT AS THOUGH
I'M NOT EVEN IN THE ROOM,
LIKE I'M NOT EVEN HERE.
THIS IS MY LIFE.
I WAS ATTACKED.
I WAS RAPED.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I WILL DECIDE
WHAT I AM GOING TO DO
OR NOT DO FROM NOW ON.
FIRST OF ALL,
LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR
THAT WE ALL
PERCEIVE YOU
AS AN EXTREMELY
COURAGEOUS WOMAN,
MRS. O'CONNER.
WHATEVER TRANSPIRED
THAT NIGH AT THE COLLEGE
HAD TO BE
UNIMAGINABLY TRAUMATIC.
NOW, YOU CLAIM
YOU IDENTIFIED
THE MAN
WHO ALLEGEDLY
ATTACKED YOU
IN YOUR HOME
BY TOUCHING
HIS FACE.
WOULD THA BE CORRECT?
YES.
DID YOU ALSO TOUCH
THE FACE OF THE MAN
WHO ATTACKED YOU
IN YOUR CLASSROOM?
NO.
WELL, THEN HOW CAN
YOU BE CERTAIN
THAT THE ATTACKER
IN YOUR HOME
IS THE SAME MAN
WHO ATTACKED YOU
IN YOUR CLASSROOM?
BECAUSE OF
WHAT HE SAID TO ME.
THE BIBLICAL REFERENCES.
HE SAID THEM BOTH TIMES.
MM-HMM.
I HAVE HERE A COPY
OF THE STATEMEN YOU GAVE TO THE POLICE.
IN THESE REPORTS
YOU STATED
THAT THE FIRST ATTACKER
WHISPERED TO YOU.
IS THAT CORRECT?
YES.
NOW, ACCORDING TO
YOUR STATEMENTS
MADE AFTER
THE SECOND ATTACK,
THIS ATTACKER,
QUOTE, "SAID TO ME,
I KNEW YOU'D DO IT."
DID THE SECOND
ATTACKER WHISPER?
OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.
COUNSEL IS MAKING
AN ASSUMPTION
DISGUISED AS FACT.
SUSTAINED.
PROCEED, COUNSELOR.
MRS. O'CONNER,
DID THE MAN
WHO ATTACKED YOU
IN YOUR CLASSROOM
WHISPER OR SPEAK
IN A NORMAL VOICE?
NORMAL.
NORMAL.
DURING THE FIRST ATTACK,
THE MAN WHISPERED.
DURING THE SECOND ATTACK,
THE MAN SPOKE NORMALLY.
IS THAT CORRECT?
YES.
YOU HAD
NO PHYSICAL CONTAC WITH THE MAN
WHO ATTACKED YOU
IN YOUR CLASSROOM,
YET YOU MANAGED
TO TOUCH THE MAN
YOU SAY ATTACKED
YOU IN YOUR HOME.
YES, I MANAGED.
HOW LONG
WERE YOU ABLE
TO TOUCH THIS MAN,
MRS. O'CONNER?
A FEW SECONDS?
NO. IT WAS LONGER.
MUCH LONGER?
NO.
WELL, HOW LONG,
THEN?
A HALF A MINUTE, MAYBE.
I DON'T REMEMBER.
CAN YOU TELL ME
WHY THIS MAN
WHO WAS BRUTALLY
ATTACKING YOU
WOULD LET YOU
RUN YOUR HANDS
OVER HIS FACE?
NO, I CAN'T.
CAN'T YOU? I MEAN,
WERE YOU FIGHTING HIM
OR PUSHING HIM AWAY
WHEN YOU TOUCHED HIM?
NO, NOT THEN, BUT I HAD
FOUGHT HIM EARLIER.
OH, SO YOU WEREN' HOLDING HIM AWAY
OR AT BAY WHEN
YOU TOUCHED HIM.
WAS THIS TOUCHING,
THEN, MORE LIKE
A CARESS?
NO, IT WASN'T.
I TRIED TO MAKE I SEEM THAT WAY.
YOU'RE TELLING ME
THAT WHILE THIS MAN
WAS RAPING YOU,
THREATENING YOU
WITH A KNIFE,
YOU HAD
THE PRESENCE OF MIND
TO MAKE AN ATTEMP TO IDENTIFY THIS MAN?
IS IT POSSIBLE
THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE
ENCOURAGED HIM?
THAT YOU
MIGHT HAVE EVEN--
I WAS RAPED.
I WAS ATTACKED
IN MY BEDROOM
IN MY OWN HOUSE.
YOUR HONOR?
MRS. O'CONNER,
I AM FORCED TO CAUTION YOU
TO PLEASE TRY
TO CONTAIN YOUR EMOTIONS.
YOU MAY CONTINUE, COUNSELOR.
JUST ONE
LAST QUESTION,
MRS. O'CONNER,
IF YOU PLEASE.
THERE REALLY WAS NO WAY
FOR YOU TO BE CERTAIN
THAT MR. WHITFIELD
DREW THE PERSON
YOU HAD FIXED
IN YOUR MIND, IS THERE?
MRS. O'CONNER,
IS THERE?
NO.
WILL YOU
PLEASE SPEAK
SO THE JURY
CAN HEAR YOU?
NO.
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.
[JUDGE]
THANK YOU,
MRS. O'CONNER.
THE COURT WILL RECESS
ONE HOUR FOR LUNCH.
LET'S TRY TO GE EVERYBODY BACK HERE
BY, LET'S SAY, 2:00.
VICKI!
I GOT AN IDEA.
I THINK IT'LL WORK.
LET'S HEAR IT.
I DON'T KNOW
IF IT'LL WORK.
IT'LL WORK.
WE DID IT BEFORE,
YOU AND I.
WE CAN DO IT AGAIN.
EMMY...
I KNOW YOU DON'T WAN MY OPINION RIGHT NOW,
BUT YOU COULD NAIL
THIS GUY.
GET HIM.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU'RE TELLING ME
YOU WANT ME
TO DRAG SOMEONE
FROM THE STREE INTO THE COURTROOM?
LARRY, PEOPLE ARE
KNOCKING DOWN THE DOORS
TRYING TO GET IN HERE.
YOU WON'T HAVE
ANY TROUBLE.
NOW, I SUGGES YOU GET STARTED.
I OBJECT TO THIS,
AND I WANT I CLEARLY STATED
FOR THE RECORD.
GO AHEAD, SHANE.
FIND SOMEONE.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED THA A DEMONSTRATION OF
MRS. O'CONNER'S MANNER
OF IDENTIFYING
HER ATTACKER
MIGHT PROVIDE US ALL
WITH SOME HARD ANSWERS.
THAT'S WHAT THIS SETUP
IS ALL ABOUT HERE.
NOW, THE DEFENSE HAS SELECTED
A WILLING CITIZEN
LITERALLY OFF THE STREE FOR MRS. O'CONNER'S EXAMINATION.
UM, BAILIFF...
I MUST DEMAND
COMPLETE SILENCE
THROUGHOUT THE COURTROOM
DURING THIS EXERCISE.
ARE YOU READY,
MRS. O'CONNER?
YES.
YOU MAY BEGIN.
IF IT PLEASES
THE COURT, YOUR HONOR.
YES, COUNSELOR?
30 SECONDS.
MRS. O'CONNER
CLAIMED EARLIER
THAT SHE HAD CONTAC WITH HER ASSAILAN FOR 30 SECONDS.
YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS,
MRS. O'CONNER.
YOU MAY BEGIN...
NOW.
TIME.
PLEASE REMOVE THE VOLUNTEER
TO THE ANTEROOM.

FINGER-LENGTH,
BRUSHED BACK
OFF HIS FACE.
WHAT COLOR
IS HIS HAIR, EMMY?
I JUST CAN'T.
YES, YOU CAN.
EMMY...
YOU CAN DO THIS.
OBJECTION.
SHE'LL BE FINE,
YOUR HONOR.
PLEASE,

MR. WHITFIELD.
EMMY.

THANK YOU,

THEY'RE ALL EVIL.
IF I MAKE MY BED IN HELL,

[MANIACAL LAUGHTER]
AND GOD SAID UNTO THE WOMAN,
"WHAT HAS THOU DONE?"
AND THE WOMAN,
THE WOMAN SAID,
"THE SERPENT BEGUILED ME,
AND I DID EAT."
