The Closer (2005–2012): Season 1, Episode 10 - The Butler Did It - full transcript

DEANNA DUTTON:
NO, IT'S 0-2-0-4-6-6.

FIRST OFFICER: YOU DON'T KNOW
YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER?

SECOND OFFICER: YOU WOULD
KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER.

DEANNA: NO. YOU HAVE TO
HIT... HOW CAN YOU CLEAR IT?

FIRST OFFICER: WHAT
ABOUT THE LAST 4 DIGITS?

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

LIEUTENANT PROVENZA:
MA'AM, PLEASE.

WOMAN: 66.

YOU HAVE TO HIT...

DEANNA: IF YOU JUST LET ME...

YOU HAVE TO HIT THE
POUND KEY TO CLEAR IT.



YOU CAN TAKE YOUR TIME FIGURING
OUT THE PASS CODE, LIEUTENANT.

IT LOOKS LIKE SHE'S
GONNA BE A MINUTE.

[CRASH]

WHY WON'T THIS BUTLER
GUY OPEN THE GATE?

ANYONE KNOW WHY HE DIDN'T
SHOW UP AT COURT THIS MORNING?

NO. BUT HE'S ALMOST 70.

PICKING HIM UP SHOULDN'T
BE A BIG PROBLEM.

HE'S THE DEFENDANT IN A
MURDER TRIAL, SERGEANT.

I HAVE A BENCH
WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST.

HE'S ALREADY BEEN A BIG PROBLEM.

HE'S PROBABLY FLED THE COUNTRY.

WHY ISN'T TACTICAL HERE?

OH, THERE'S ALL SORTS OF
STUFF GOING ON THIS MORNING.

THERE'S A SHOOTOUT
IN THE VALLEY.



THERE'S SOME NUT
DRIVING CRAZY ON THE 101.

IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS.

DO WE OWN THIS BLOCK?

IS THE PRESS GOING
TO SUDDENLY APPEAR?

WELL, WE'VE GOT IT SEALED
OFF IN EVERY DIRECTION,

THOUGH YOU CAN
EXPECT HELICOPTERS

WHEN THE FREEWAY
CHASE WINDS DOWN.

IT'S THE POLICE, FOR
CRYING OUT LOUD.

WHO ARE THOSE PEOPLE STANDING
WITH LIEUTENANT PROVENZA?

THOSE ARE THE DUTTON
KIDS. THEY GREW UP HERE.

WE CALLED THEM IN TO HELP US OUT
WITH THE PASS CODE FOR THE GATE.

HOW'D THEY GET LOCKED
OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE?

A WILL.

ALL RIGHT. CALL FOR
THE BATTERING RAM.

WHY DON'T WE JUST
CALL LIEUTENANT TAO?

I BET YOU HE COULD
JUST HOT-WIRE THE GATE.

THAT'LL TAKE FOREVER.

PARDON ME. GENTLEMEN,

DO ANY OF YOU HAVE A
KEY TO THAT PATROL CAR?

YES, MA'AM.

THANKS. THANK YOU.

I DO NOT LIKE THE LOOKS OF THIS.

CHIEF.

DON'T DRIVE MAD.

[PATROL CAR DOOR
OPENS AND SLAMS SHUT]

SERGEANT GABRIEL: EXCUSE
ME, CHIEF, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

UHH!

TAKING THE SHORTCUT, SERGEANT.

ONE OF YOU SHOULD
STAY WITH THE DUTTONS.

OW! OOH! [THUD]

OH!

THERE'S A BIT OF A DROP.

I DON'T CLIMB.

GO AHEAD.

PSST! PSST!

OH!

CALL IT IN, SERGEANT. MAKE
SURE HE'S HERE BY HIMSELF.

AND LET'S SEE IF WE CAN
GET THOSE GATES OPEN

FOR LIEUTENANT PROVENZA.

YES, MA'AM.

LEAVE IT TO ALBERT TO
HANG HIMSELF OUTSIDE.

PROBABLY CONCERNED
ABOUT THE MESS HE'D LEAVE.

MM-HMM.

I GUESS THE GUILT
FINALLY GOT TO HIM.

WOULDN'T YOU SAY SO, DEANNA?

WELL, OBVIOUSLY, DENNIS.

PROUD OF HIS JOB TO THE END.

STARCHED SHIRT.

IS THAT HIS REGULAR TIE, DEVLIN?

YES. JUST A LITTLE
TIGHTER THAN USUAL.

I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN
THE MAN OUT OF UNIFORM.

BUT THEN, HE WAS HARDLY THE
TYPE TO SHOP AT J.C. PENNEY...

NOT THAT THERE'S
ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

RIGHT.

THANK YOU FOR
IDENTIFYING THE BODY.

SIR, COULD YOU PLEASE TAKE
THE DUTTONS TO THE FOYER?

EXCUSE ME. CHIEF JOHNSON. YES.

DEPUTY D.A. THOMAS YATES.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

THIS IS JAMES BLOOM,
ATTORNEY FOR THE DECEASED.

OH, I'M SO SORRY
ABOUT YOUR CLIENT, SIR.

YES, YES. WHEN ALBERT DIDN'T
SHOW UP IN COURT TODAY, I...

OFFICER: HEY, WHAT ARE YOU
GUYS DOING WITH THAT THING?

DEANNA: UNCLE JAMES...

UM, COULD...

UH...

MIND IF WE TALK FOR A MINUTE?

COULD THIS WAIT, MR. YATES?

WE REALLY SHOULD GET
MR. TURNER DOWN FROM UP THERE

BEFORE THE HELICOPTERS

START SWARMING AROUND.

WELL, BECAUSE OF THE
LEGAL ISSUES INVOLVED,

I'D RATHER THE D.A.'S
INVESTIGATORS DEAL WITH THE BODY.

AND IF THERE'S COFFEE
ANYWHERE IN THE GENERAL VICINITY,

THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC.

UH, CHIEF JOHNSON, I
WONDER IF YOU'RE AW...

UH, PARDON ME, SIR.

MR. YATES, THE FACT THAT WE'RE
INVESTIGATING THE DEATH OF THE BUTLER

DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN TREAT THE
L.A.P.D. LIKE YOUR OWN PERSONAL MAIDS.

I HATE TO INTERRUPT...

YOU STAY OUT OF THIS!

I AM TRYING
MR. TURNER FOR MURDER.

WELL, THAT SEEMS LIKE A COLOSSAL

WASTE OF YOUR TIME, MR. YATES,

BUT WE ARE RUNNING
HIM DOWN THE FLAGPOLE,

AND THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

IF YOU WANT TO EXAMINE
THE BODY, YOU MAY DO SO

AFTER I'M DONE.

[SHATTERING GLASS]

[THUD]

I'M DONE.

OH!

SINCE WE HAVE GLASS IN THE MIX,

I DON'T WANT ANYONE BUT THE MORGUE
ATTENDANTS TOUCHING THIS BODY.

SERGEANT GABRIEL,
IF YOU COULD SEE TO IT

THAT WE GET AN
AUTOPSY RIGHT AWAY.

AND, LIEUTENANT PROVENZA, IF
YOU COULD SECURE THE CRIME SCENE

UNTIL WE GET AN OFFICIAL
RULING OF SUICIDE.

MR. YATES, SO NICE TO MEET YOU.

MR. BLOOM, IF YOU
COULD COME BY MY OFFICE

TOMORROW AFTERNOON. THANK YOU.

THANKS. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

BYE!

THANK YOU.

I'M GLAD HE'S DEAD,

'CAUSE THAT WOULD
HAVE REALLY HURT.

[SNICKERS]

WELL, OF COURSE, IF THE
CORONER INSISTS IT'S SUICIDE,

BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT
ALBERT REASONABLY STABLE.

STABLE?

HE WAS INDICTED FOR
KILLING MR. DUTTON'S WIDOW.

BUT NOT CONVICTED.

HE WAS NEVER
CONSIDERED A FLIGHT RISK.

HE WAS ON BAIL.

HE WAS TAKING CARE OF THE HOUSE.

AND DRINKING. HE WAS
DRINKING MORE THAN USUAL,

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I...

AND YOU REPRESENTED ALBERT

BECAUSE OF YOUR PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM?

YEAH. THAT AND WITH
THE DUTTON FAMILY,

MY ENTIRE PRACTICE EXISTS
SOLELY TO HANDLE THEIR AFFAIRS.

AND, OF COURSE, THE
CHILDREN WERE ANXIOUS

THAT ALBERT GET THE
BEST POSSIBLE DEFENSE.

YEAH. THEY SEEM
LIKE CARING KIDS.

DID YOUR CLIENT SEEMED
DEPRESSED OR ANXIOUS LATELY?

HE WAS A DEFENDANT IN A
MURDER TRIAL, MS. JOHNSON.

THAT TENDS TO BE A BIT UNNERVING

EVEN WHEN THE
CHARGES ARE LUDICROUS.

REALLY?

I WAS LOOKING OVER
THE TRIAL TRANSCRIPT,

AND IT SEEMED TO ME
THAT THE DEPUTY D.A.

HAD BUILT A GOOD CASE
AGAINST YOUR CLIENT.

ALBERT HATED
MR. DUTTON'S SECOND WIFE...

ANGELINA. AH. YES.

WELL, HE'S NOT
ALONE IN THAT REGARD.

WE ALL DESPISED HER.

AND SHE COST HIM A
GREAT DEAL OF MONEY.

EVERYBODY LOST OUT IN MR. DUTTON'S
LAST WILL BECAUSE OF ANGELINA.

THE CHILDREN WENT FROM INHERITING
AN ESTATE OF APPROXIMATELY $2 BILLION

TO A PALTRY $10 MILLION APIECE,

WHICH WAS A STIPEND
IN THEIR UNIVERSE.

ALBERT WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNEW
WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO WORK FOR A LIVING,

AND HIS JOB WAS
GUARANTEED FOR LIFE.

MAYBE IT WASN'T ENOUGH.
MAYBE HE GOT GREEDY.

MY CLIENT WAS INNOCENT,
AND HE WAS GOING TO GO FREE.

AND I KNOW THIS BECAUSE
THE D.A. OFFERED US A DEAL.

A DEAL? WHAT KIND OF DEAL?

I THINK MAYBE YOU SHOULD
ASK MR. YATES THE TERMS.

I'M BOUND BY PRIVILEGE.

BUT I TOOK THE OFFER TO ALBERT.

I ADVISED HIM TO PASS,

BECAUSE "NOT GUILTY"
BEATS A PLEA EVERY TIME.

IF YOUR CLIENT DIDN'T
KILL ANGELINA DUTTON,

WHO DO YOU THINK DID?

OH, I WOULDN'T WANT TO
SPECULATE ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

BUT I EMPATHIZE
WITH POOR ALBERT.

WE BOTH SPENT OUR CAREERS
STRAIGHTENING UP AFTER THE DUTTONS.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

YOU HAVEN'T RETURNED ANY OF MY
MESSAGES, AND I WONDERED WHY?

MAYBE THAT'S BECAUSE I
DIDN'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

YOU CAME TO MY HOUSE! WHY
DID YOU COME TO MY HOUSE?

LOOK, WE GOT OFF ON THE
WRONG FOOT YESTERDAY.

MAYBE THAT'S BECAUSE
IT WAS IN YOUR MOUTH.

HERE'S WHAT I SHOULD
HAVE SAID AT THE TIME.

I DON'T BELIEVE ALBERT
TURNER KILLED HIMSELF.

[CHUCKLES] SO YOU... HAD
A PARTY OR SOMETHING?

NO. I JUST DON'T GET
AROUND TO HOUSEWORK

EVERY SINGLE DAY
OF MY LIFE, IS ALL.

RIGHT. RIGHT.

WELL... GLAD TO PITCH IN.

SO, I WILL START
AT THE BEGINNING.

YOU CAN DRY. ALL RIGHT.

NEAR THE END OF HIS LIFE,

BILLIONAIRE ROLAND DUTTON

FELL DEEPLY IN SEX
WITH A STRIPPER.

TO WHOM HE LEFT HIS
FORTUNE. I JUST HEARD ALL THIS.

THE CHILDREN
CHALLENGED EVERYTHING.

AND LOST. AND THEN...

JUST AS ANGELINA GOT
COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE ESTATE,

SHE MIRACULOUSLY
DIED OF AN OVERDOSE.

OH. YOU, UH...

YOU MISSED A LITTLE SPOT.

HONESTLY?

I NEVER THOUGHT ALBERT DID IT.

YOU THOUGHT HE WAS
COVERING UP FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

MM-HMM. WHICH IS WHY
YOU OFFERED HIM A DEAL.

SO MR. BLOOM TOLD
YOU ABOUT THAT.

YEAH.

YEAH, ALBERT WAS AN EASY TARGET.

HE WAS ALONE IN THE HOUSE
WHEN ANGELINA OVERDOSED,

HE DIDN'T HAVE AN ALIBI,

HE WAS FUMBLING IN HIS
INTERVIEWS WITH THE POLICE,

AND HE HAD A MOTIVE.

HE'D LOST HIS INHERITANCE, TOO.

AND I'M POSITIVE
HE KNEW WHO DID IT.

"JUST GIMME A NAME," I TOLD HIM.

"GIMME A NAME,
AND I'LL LET YOU GO,

AS LONG AS ALL YOU DID
WAS LOOK THE OTHER WAY."

SO, YOU PUT THE BUTLER ON TRIAL,

HOPING HE WOULD
BLAB ON WHICH KID?

DENNIS DUTTON HAS A
HISTORY OF VIOLENCE.

10 YEARS AGO, HE
WAS DATING A GIRL.

SHE BROKE UP...

SHE BROKE UP WITH
HIM, AND SHE ENDED UP

GETTING CLUBBED TO
DEATH WITH A 9-IRON.

TWO DAYS LATER, HE WAS
ON A PLANE TO SWITZERLAND

AND DID NOT COME BACK UNTIL
OUR BEST WITNESS AGAINST HIM

DIES IN A CAR ACCIDENT.

WELL, THIS IS ALL VERY
INTERESTING, MR. YATES.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE GOT A
LOT OF INFERENCE AND INNUENDO

FOR YOUR INVESTIGATORS
TO FOLLOW UP ON.

BUT AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,

THE M.E. RETURNED
A FINDING OF SUICIDE,

SO I DON'T SEE HOW
THIS CONCERNS ME.

WELL, THAT FINDING HAS
CONVINCED MY BOSS AND THE PRESS

THAT ALBERT WAS GUILTY.

BUT...

WAIT. WAIT. HERE. USE THIS.

IF YOU COULD GET THE CAUSE
OF DEATH CHANGED TO HOMICIDE...

LISTEN. LISTEN.

IF ALBERT DIDN'T KILL HIMSELF,

THEN SOMEONE IN
THE DUTTON FAMILY

IS GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER,

AND I HATE TO THINK THIS CASE IS
CLOSED AND THE KILLER GOT AWAY.

LOOK...

I DRIED YOUR DISHES.

AND?

AND?

I'M SORRY.

FOR?

FOR BEING A CONDESCENDING
ASSHOLE YESTERDAY.

IF YOU COULD HELP
ME IN ANY WAY...

[ENGLISH ACCENT] I TOOK MISS
ANGELINA'S NIGHTLY SCOTCH AND MILK.

SHE TOOK IT WITH A LOW-DOSE
VALIUM TO HELP HER SLEEP.

WATCH THE INTERVIEW
AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF.

'CAUSE AS FAR AS I'M
CONCERNED, I NAILED THIS GUY.

[ON VIDEO] ABOUT HOW LONG
DO YOU THINK THAT TOOK?

LESS THAN 10 MINUTES.

PROVENZA, ON TAPE: HMM.

HOUSEKEEPER SAYS YOU WERE
IN HER ROOM FOR OVER AN HOUR.

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

MRS. LYDELL HAD LEFT
THE HOUSE BEFORE...

HOUSEKEEPER SAYS
SHE WAITED FOR AN HOUR

FOR HER DAUGHTER TO PICK HER UP.

THIS IS WHERE HE
STARTS TO CRACK.

YOU NEVER CAME OUT
OF MRS. DUTTON'S ROOM?

NO.

NO. I TOOK THE BACK EXIT
TO MY OWN QUARTERS.

OH, WELL... HA
HA... THE BACK EXIT.

DID ANYONE SEE YOU?

I WAITED UNTIL I
COULD SEE MRS...

MIGHT I HAVE A LAWYER, PLEASE?

I'VE WAITED MY WHOLE
CAREER TO SAY THIS.

THE BUTLER DID IT.

BUZZ, COULD YOU
REWIND FOR A MINUTE?

BUZZ: SAY WHEN.

WHEN.

RIGHT THERE. ON THE
BACK OF THE CHAIR.

ISN'T THAT A CANE?

[SAWING]

HMM. THAT'S DISTURBING.

WAS I RIGHT?

THAT'S WHAT'S
DISTURBING. LOOK HERE.

ADVANCED OSTEOARTHRITIS.

A DEGENERATIVE JOINT DISEASE.

THE SOCKET IS SHUT.

THIS MAN WAS A CANDIDATE FOR
AN IMMEDIATE HIP REPLACEMENT.

NOW, THAT EXPLAINS
THE AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL

AND PAINKILLERS IN
HIS BLOODSTREAM,

BUT IT DOESN'T
CHANGE MY FINDING.

THE MAN DIED OF
SUFFOCATION DUE TO LIGATURE.

NOW, WITHOUT EVIDENCE OF MURDER,

I'M GONNA HAVE TO
CALL THIS A SUICIDE.

SO, TELL US, DOC,

WITH A HIP LIKE THAT,

WOULD ALBERT HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO DRAG A 30-POUND LADDER

FROM THE GARAGE TO THE HOUSE?

UM...

AND CLIMB UP THE RUNGS
WITHOUT ANY ASSISTANCE?

AND CRAWL OUT ON THE FLAGPOLE?

MAINTAINING HIS BALANCE
WHILE DRUNK OFF HIS ASS?

WHILE TYING A KNOT
TO THE FURTHEST END?

BEFORE LEAPING TO HIS DEATH?

AFTER A THOROUGH REVIEW
OF MY INITIAL FINDINGS...

[SIGHS] I DECLARE
THAT ALBERT TURNER

WAS THE VICTIM OF A HOMICIDE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU.

OUR FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS

IS TO FIND OUT EVERYTHING
WE CAN ABOUT THE VICTIM.

I ALSO WANT TO HAVE ANOTHER LOOK
AT THE ANGELINA DUTTON MURDER.

IT'S NOT UNREASONABLE TO THINK
THAT THESE TWO DEATHS ARE RELATED.

LIEUTENANT PROVENZA SHOULD
BE PARTICULARLY HELPFUL WITH THIS

SINCE IT WAS
ORIGINALLY HIS CASE.

SGT. GABRIEL, WHAT IS GOING
ON WITH S.I.D. AND THAT LADDER?

COULD YOU PLEASE TELL THEM
TO HURRY UP THAT PRINTS REPORT?

I ALSO WANT TO TALK TO
THE DUTTON CHILDREN AGAIN.

I DON'T THINK JAMES BLOOM
IS GONNA LET THEM TALK TO US.

WELL... I WON'T ASK HIM.

WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND, CHIEF?

DEANNA, DEVLIN, AND DENNIS.

THEY ALL HAVE A LOT OF
MONEY AND A LOT OF TIME.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT
THEY SAY ABOUT IDLE HANDS.

I'M ALWAYS READING ABOUT DEANNA
BEING BOMBED OUT OF HER MIND SOMEWHERE,

AND SHE'S GOT SOME DUIS.

YEAH, AND ALL THOSE CHARGES
HAVE BEEN DROPPED BEFORE TRIAL.

YEAH, BUT IT
INDICATES A PATTERN.

YEAH, AND DEVLIN LIKES
PROSTITUTES OF ALL KINDS.

I MEAN, IT'S LIKE AN
ADDICTION FOR HIM.

VICE IS ALWAYS
WARNING HIM ABOUT IT.

THESE AREN'T
MAJOR CRIMES, CHIEF.

I'M NOT LOOKING TO PUT THEM
AWAY FOR LIFE, DETECTIVE SANCHEZ.

I JUST WANT TO
HAVE THEM ARRESTED

SO I CAN BRING 'EM IN
AND HAVE A LITTLE CHAT.

WHAT ABOUT, UH, DENNIS?

I DID THE WORKUP ON THE GOLF
CLUB THAT KILLED HIS GIRLFRIEND.

PICTURES WERE GRUESOME.

THAT WAS 10 YEARS AGO.

THERE'S NO STATUTE OF
LIMITATIONS ON MURDER.

WE CAN PICK HIM UP FOR
QUESTIONING ANYTIME WE WANT.

HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE
GONNA SOLVE THIS CASE?!

[DOOR SLAMS]

HEY, THERE.

ANYTHING I COULD DO TO
CONVINCE YOU TO SHARE?

OBVIOUSLY, YOU
DON'T KNOW WHO I AM.

OH, BUT, UM, I DO.

YOU'RE DEANNA DUTTON.

HMM. AND YOU WOULD BE?

DETECTIVE IRENE
DANIELS, L.A.P.D.

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST FOR
POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE.

THAT'S A BUZZ KILL
IF I EVER HEARD ONE.

HAND IT OVER, MS.
DUTTON. [SNIFFS]

THANK YOU. VIAL, TOO.

ALL RIGHT!

OH.

HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK.

OKEY-DOKEY.

HOW LONG YOU BEEN WORKING VICE?

TWO YEARS.

YOU LIKE IT?

EXCEPT FOR THE HOURS.

I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW
YOUNG YOU LOOK.

I BET YOU DRIVE YOUR
BOYFRIEND CRAZY IN THAT OUTFIT.

YOU COMING ON TO
ME? WE'RE ON DUTY.

I'M PAYING YOU A COMPLIMENT.

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

HERE HE COMES.

I TOLD YOU. IF HE COMES,
THIS IS ALWAYS THE TIME.

HIS MOOD VARIES, SO BE PREPARED.

FOR WHAT?

EXCUSE ME.

IS THIS HOT YOUNG
THING WITH YOU?

NO. REALLY?

SO YOU'RE HERE BY YOURSELF?

YEP.

WE'D LIKE TO BE ALONE.

EXCUSE ME, BOYS.
HAVE A NICE NIGHT.

I'M DEVLIN. WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

IT'S JULIO.

AH! JULIO!

ME AND JULIO. THAT'S OUR SONG.

JACK AND COKE FOR ME,

AND WHATEVER MY FRIEND
JULIO HERE WOULD LIKE.

I'M GOOD. I'M GOOD.
I'M WORKING TONIGHT.

REALLY?

SO, JULIO,

WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU INTO?

WELL... DEPENDS.

[WHISPERING] WHAT DO
YOU GOT IN YOUR PANTS?

IN MY LEFT POCKET,
I'VE GOT $2,000.

NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK I
COULD GET YOU TO DO FOR THAT?

WOW.

YOU COULD GET ME...

TO ARREST YOU.

LET'S GO.

[CHUCKLES] GO AHEAD. CUFF ME.

AND IF YOU CHANGE
INTO A UNIFORM,

I'LL STOP AT AN ATM ON
THE WAY TO THE STATION.

[PATTING DOWN] OH! OH! JULIO!

LET'S GO.

[CELLOPHANE RUSTLING]

NOT MUCH TO HELP YOU
WITH THESE INTERVIEWS,

ALTHOUGH OUR BUTLER WAS
NEGOTIATING WITH A LONDON REALTOR

TO BUY AN APARTMENT IN THE MAYFAIR
DISTRICT WHILE HE WAS ON TRIAL.

[GROANS] ARE YOU
FEELING ALL RIGHT?

NO. I HAVE A MIGRAINE.

HE WAS AWFULLY OPTIMISTIC
FOR A SUICIDE VICTIM.

THANK YOU.

CAN I GET A COMPLETE
FINANCIAL ON THIS GUY?

OH.

THANK YOU.

YOU ARE HARASSING MY CLIENTS.

WHY DIDN'T YOU LET
THEM CALL ME LAST NIGHT?

MISTAKES WERE MADE.

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOU ARREST

A BUNCH OF PEOPLE
WITH THE SAME LAST NAME.

IF YOU WANT, I'LL
TALK TO THE PRESS.

STOOPING TO
BLACKMAIL ON TOP OF IT.

NO, SIR...

CHIEF. YES. ONE SECOND.

I FOUND OUT WHY
WE CAN'T FIND DENNIS.

WHAT?! YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR DENNIS, TOO?!

THE... AHEM... DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S
OFFICE PICKED HIM UP LAST NIGHT.

THANK YOU! WHAT?!

THOMAS YATES! HOW
COULD HE DO THAT TO ME?!

YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT
TO WAIT FOR YOUR LAWYER?

I'M PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF IGNORING
YOUR QUESTIONS WITHOUT HIM.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

MR. YATES, MAY I HAVE
A MOMENT, PLEASE?

HOW DID YOU BEAT
ME? I LEFT FIRST.

YEAH, WELL, WHEN YOU DON'T
HAVE TO STOP FOR RED LIGHTS,

L.A.'S A PRETTY EASY
PLACE TO GET AROUND.

MAY I?

MR. YATES, A SIDEBAR, PLEASE?

EXCUSE ME.

[DOOR CLOSES]

YOU CANNOT ASK ME TO
INVESTIGATE THIS MURDER

AND THEN INTERVIEW THE
SUSPECTS WITHOUT ME.

YOU'RE OVERREACTING.

AND JUST SO YOU KNOW,
YOU ARE NOT MY BOSS.

ALL RIGHT. AND JUST SO YOU KNOW,

I HAVE THE OTHER TWO DUTTONS
IN THE HOLDING TANK AS WE SPEAK.

SO IF YOU ATTEMPT TO
INTERVIEW DENNIS WITHOUT ME,

NOT ONLY WILL I RELEASE
DEANNA AND DEVLIN,

I'LL HELP THEM ESCAPE.

I'LL LET YOU PARTICIPATE
IN THIS INTERVIEW

IF YOU LET ME
PARTICIPATE IN YOURS.

I'M A LITTLE BIT PAST
THE "I'LL SHOW YOU MINE

IF YOU SHOW ME
YOURS" STAGE OF LIFE.

LET'S JUST OPEN THE DOOR
AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

THANK YOU.

I'M SORRY TO HEAR
THAT ALBERT'S DEATH

HAS BEEN DETERMINED
TO BE A HOMICIDE.

BUT YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE,

EITHER PHYSICAL
OR CIRCUMSTANTIAL,

TO CONNECT MY
CLIENT TO THE CRIME.

CAN I JUST BOTTOM-LINE
IT FOR THEM?

BLOOM: YOU ARE TO
EXPLAIN NOTHING, DENNIS.

NO, NO, NO. UNCLE JAMES, THEY
HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE SUSPICIOUS.

BUT I'M WAY TOO SMART
TO HAVE KILLED ALBERT,

AND MY BROTHER AND
SISTER ARE WAY TOO STUPID.

MOST CRIMINALS ARE
STUPID, MR. DUTTON.

THAT'S WHY WE CATCH THEM.

JUST BECAUSE YOU GOT
AWAY WITH MURDER ONCE

DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU
CAN GET AWAY WITH IT AGAIN.

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S ENOUGH.
THANK YOU. LET IT GO.

NO, NO. UNCLE JAMES...

SIT DOWN. I'M NOT FINISHED YET.

I SAID SIT DOWN!

NOW, LOOK, I LIKED ALBERT.

AND AS FAR AS
ANGELINA IS CONCERNED...

I DON'T KNOW. FRANKLY,
I COULDN'T CARE LESS.

I NEVER EVEN MET THE YOUNG LADY.

THANKS TO PEOPLE
LIKE MR. YATES HERE,

I LOST AN ENTIRE DECADE
OF MY LIFE LIVING IN GENEVA.

[CHUCKLES] OH, MY GOD,
IS THAT LAKE BORING.

ALBERT WAS KILLED
AROUND MIDNIGHT ON SUNDAY.

ANY IDEA WHERE YOU
WERE AROUND THEN?

DON'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

[LAUGHS]

YOU KNOW, YOU ARE SOUNDING
LIKE A BROKEN RECORD.

MR. YATES,

I WAS IN THE VERY,
VERY BEST OF COMPANY

BECAUSE I WAS AT HOME ALONE.

I'M HAVING A FABULOUS TIME,
YOU SEE, STONE COLD SOBER.

I FIND MYSELF...
ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING.

OK. THIS HAS BEEN
FUN, HASN'T IT?

WE WILL HAVE TO DO
THIS AGAIN SOMETIME.

UH, MR. DUTTON, HOW DID
YOU GET BY IN SWITZERLAND?

I DON'T SEE YOU
PUNCHING A TIME CLOCK

AT THE GENEVA BRANCH
OF KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN.

DID YOU HAVE A WORK
VISA? WERE YOU EMPLOYED?

ARE YOU KIDDING?

I HANDLED DENNIS'
FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.

THE MONEY TRANSFERS
WERE COMPLETELY LEGAL.

IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK
TO DEANNA AND DEVLIN,

I'D LIKE YOU TO
WAIT UNTIL I ARRIVE.

DENNIS, COME ALONG.

HE'S SO BOSSY, ISN'T HE?

[DOOR CLOSES]

THAT'S YOUR IDEA
OF AN INTERVIEW?

YOU JUST PICK SOMEONE UP AND
HOPE THEY TELL YOU SOMETHING?

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

[VOMITING]

MY CLIENT IS IN NO PHYSICAL
CONDITION TO TALK TO YOU.

I JUST NEED AN
HOUR OR TWO. I, UH...

I OVERINDULGED A
LITTLE BIT LAST NIGHT.

SPEAKING OF OVERINDULGING,
UH, ANGELINA OVERDOSED.

TELL ME, DEANNA,

IF I WERE TO GET A SEARCH
WARRANT FOR YOUR HOUSE,

WOULD I FIND
RECREATIONAL DRUGS THERE

OR SOME OF THE VICODIN ALBERT
WAS TAKING FOR JOINT PAIN?

[VOMITING]

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT. I'LL
MAKE A DEAL WITH MR. BLOOM.

YOU GIVE ME AN ALIBI
FOR SUNDAY NIGHT,

SOMETHING AIRTIGHT
THAT I CAN CHECK,

AND I WON'T ARREST
YOU FOR POSSESSION

OF WHATEVER YOU HAVE
IN YOUR MEDICINE CABINET.

YOU'RE GONNA TAKE MY STASH?

YES, I AM.

YOU'RE AS BAD AS UNCLE JAMES.

YOU JUDGMENTAL BITCH!

WHY WON'T ANYONE
LET ME BE HAPPY?!

OH.

I CAN PROVIDE AN ALIBI FOR HER.

ON SUNDAY, AT THE
TIME IN QUESTION,

DEANNA WAS FINISHING UP HER
30-DAY DETOX AT A LOCAL REHAB.

SHE JUST GOT OUT
YESTERDAY MORNING.

[VOMITING]

I HOPE YOU KEPT THE RECEIPT.

[VOMITING]

ARRAIGN HIM OR LET HIM GO,

BUT HE'S NOT TALKING.

NOW, NOW, THAT'S AWFUL
HASTY OF YOU, UNCLE JAMES.

I THINK I'D HAVE
QUITE A LOT TO SAY,

IF...

THEY BROUGHT IN
JULIO TO QUESTION ME.

WE FORMED AN INTIMATE
AND IMMEDIATE CONNECTION.

I'M SOUL MATES WITH
DETECTIVE SANCHO.

SANCHEZ. WHATEVER.

DEVLIN, TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY.

YOU CAN'T TALK TO THEM.

I'LL EVEN SAY, "PLEASE."

SHE'S GONNA DO IT.

PUCKER UP, JULIO, BABY.

YEAH, I'D HOP IN
FOR YOU, BROTHER,

BUT I DON'T THINK I'M HIS TYPE.

WELL, HE IS THE
ARRESTING OFFICER.

I HATE ALL OF YOU.

IT'S DANGEROUS IN THERE, JULIO.

WATCH YOUR ASS!

MR. YATES, PARDON ME.

MAY WE CONTINUE?

DO YOU THINK ALBERT TURNER
KILLED YOUR STEPMOTHER?

NO.

HI, JULIO.

WHOO! WHOO!

SHH.

THAT'S LOVE. THAT'S LOVE.

AND YOU KNOW ALBERT
WAS MURDERED, AS WELL?

UH-HUH. HEY, JULIO?

WHEN I'M ALL DONE HERE, WOULD
YOU LIKE TO COME OVER FOR A WHILE?

MR. DUTTON, MAY I HAVE YOUR
ATTENTION FOR A MOMENT, PLEASE?

ONE SECOND.

I WANNA MAKE DETECTIVE
SANCHO HERE AN OFFER.

I MEAN, AS LONG AS WE'RE
HERE FOR SOLICITATION,

I MIGHT AS WELL GO FOR BROKE.

MY HOUSE, 24 HOURS,

$50,000.

AND NORMALLY, I HAVE A
REALLY, REALLY BIG PARTY

FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY.

YOUR FATHER'S
WILL IS IN PROBATE.

YOU DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF THE
$2 MILLION YOUR FATHER LEFT YOU,

SO WHERE ARE YOU GETTING
THE MONEY FOR DEANNA'S DRUGS

AND YOUR INDISCRIMINATE
SEXUAL ADDICTION?

HE DOESN'T HAVE TO ANSWER THAT.

NOW, NOW. A DEAL'S
A DEAL, UNCLE JAMES.

THE DUTTONS ARE BACK ON
THE BOARD OF DUTTON INDUSTRY,

A WORLDWIDE REAL ESTATE COMPANY

WITH PERFECTLY ABOVE-BOARD
PROFITS FROM OUR GLOBAL INVESTMENTS.

AND, TO ANSWER
YOUR NEXT QUESTION,

I WAS WITH MY BROTHER
THE NIGHT ALBERT DIED.

REALLY? THAT'S NOT WHAT HE SAID.

HE SAYS HE WAS ALONE.

OH.

WELL, I ASKED HIM TO
LIE. HE IS SO UNRELIABLE.

ACTUALLY...

I WAS WITH A HUSTLER
THAT I MET ON-LINE.

GIVE ME A PEN, I'LL
GIVE YOU HIS NUMBER.

HOW LONG WERE YOU WITH THIS GUY?

A MATTER OF HOURS? DAYS?

MORE A MATTER OF
INCHES, 8 TO BE EXACT.

DON'T GET INSECURE.

SUNDAY NIGHT, MONDAY
MORNING UNTIL 3:00 A.M.

THERE, CALL HIM. CHECK IT OUT.

NOW I'VE ANSWERED ALL YOUR
QUESTIONS HONESTLY AND COMPLETELY.

WHAT DO YOU SAY, JULIO?
SHALL WE GIVE IT A GO?

YOU KNOW WHAT, MR. DUTTON?

I'D PAY YOU $50,000 TO
GO SCREW YOURSELF.

OH! HOO HOO HOO!

WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT THAT, HUH?

THE DUTTONS DON'T TAKE
REJECTION VERY WELL.

THAT'S A PICTURE OF
CHRISTINE BARRINGER,

TAKEN A FEW HOURS AFTER
SHE BROKE UP WITH DENNIS.

HMM.

HMM.

I APPRECIATE YOU SHARING THIS
INFORMATION WITH ME, MR. YATES,

AND YOUR PASSION FOR
GETTING THE DUTTONS,

BUT THE M.O. FOR
CHRISTINE'S MURDER IS

FOR MORE VIOLENT THAN
THOSE OF ALBERT AND ANGELINA.

LESS PLANNED, MORE
A CRIME OF PASSION.

[EXHALES] DAMN IT.

ALBERT WAS OUR KEY,
AND I WAS THIS CLOSE

TO GETTING HIM TO MAKE A DEAL.

IT'S NOT RIGHT, IS IT?

PEOPLE LIKE THE DUTTONS
GET AWAY WITH MURDER

BECAUSE THEY CAN
OUT-LAWYER US AT EVERY TURN?

WELL, NOW THAT WE'RE SHARING
INFORMATION AND ALL THAT,

I'M SURE WE'LL DO BETTER.

I WON'T GIVE UP, AND
I KNOW YOU WON'T.

SO LET'S JUST AGREE TO CALL EACH
OTHER WHENEVER WE KNOW SOMETHING.

OK. GOOD. OK. ALL RIGHT.

AFTER YOU, SIR. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

TAO'S FOUND SOMETHING.

WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM
FORENSIC ACCOUNTING.

THE DUTTONS DEAL WITH
BANKS THROUGHOUT EUROPE.

THE KIDS KEEP THEMSELVES AT A
REMOVE FROM THE DAY-TO-DAY FINANCES

BY GIVING JAMES BLOOM THEIR
DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY

TO HANDLE THEIR
BUSINESS AFFAIRS.

IN EFFECT, HE RUNS THE COMPANY.

AND THEY GET THE CASH.

YEAH, AND THEY HAVE
PLENTY OF IT, TOO.

LOOK WHAT YOU GAVE UP, JULIO.

KNOCK IT OFF,
LIEUTENANT TAO, OK?

HEH HEH HEH!

BRENDA: LIEUTENANT
TAO, YOU WERE SAYING?

OUR BUTLER ALBERT TURNER
HAD AN ACCOUNT IN GENEVA

OPENED BY WIRE 2 WEEKS
AFTER ANGELINA DIED.

$5 MILLION HELD IN
CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT,

AUTOMATICALLY
RENEWED EVERY 90 DAYS.

BUT THE WILL IS
STILL IN PROBATE.

THAT MONEY DIDN'T
COME FROM THE ESTATE,

NOR DID IT GO BACK TO IT.

LAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON
JUST BEFORE IT WAS

SUPPOSED TO AUTOMATICALLY
ROLL OVER AGAIN,

IT WAS TRANSFERRED OUT.

WHERE DID IT GO? DENNIS DUTTON.

SO... ANGELINA DIES.

THE BUTLER GETS
$5 MILLION IN CASH.

THE D.A. OFFERS HIM A DEAL,

AND THE BUTLER'S MONEY VANISHES.

AND 2 DAYS LATER,
HE'S FOUND DEAD.

OK, EVERYBODY, MARK THE DATE.

I WAS WRONG. OOH!

FINGERPRINT ANALYSIS.

I KNOW THE GUY SPENT HIS
LIFE CLEANING UP AFTER PEOPLE,

BUT I DON'T THINK HE
WIPED THE LADDER CLEAN

AFTER HE JUMPED.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

BUT SOMEONE DID

BECAUSE THERE AREN'T
ANY PRINTS ANYWHERE.

NOPE.

OH, GOD. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

I'VE GOTTA ARREST THOSE
AWFUL DUTTON CHILDREN AGAIN.

HOW AM I GONNA DO THAT?

WELL, THIS MIGHT HELP.
WE JUST A GOT A REPORT

OF SHOTS FIRED AT
THE DUTTON HOUSE.

WELL, TODAY'S MY
LUCKY DAY. THANK YOU.

WE COULD MAKE ALL
SORTS OF ARRESTS HERE.

DISTURBING THE PEACE. DISCHARGING
A WEAPON IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA.

THE ONE I LIKE BEST
IS ATTEMPTED MURDER.

SO LET'S TRY TALKING IT THROUGH.

AND, MR. BLOOM, IF YOU'D
LIKE TO COUNSEL THEM

ON REMAINING
SILENT, I'D BE HAPPY

TO CUFF 'EM AGAIN,
TAKE 'EM DOWNTOWN.

SO, Y'ALL CAN SPEND
ANOTHER NIGHT IN JAIL,

OR YOU CAN EXPLAIN TO ME
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE.

WELL, DEVLIN STARTED IT.

HE FIGURED OUT THE
PASS CODE TO THE GATE,

AND HE WAS HERE
STEALING OUR STUFF.

IGNORE HER. SHE'S STONED.

IT'S MY FAULT. I WAS DRIVING BY,

AND I SAW THEIR CARS HERE

AND I THOUGHT THEY WERE
DIVVYING UP THE ARTWORK.

YOU TRIED TO KILL ME!

NOT TRUE. YOU'RE STILL ALIVE.

I FIRED A WARNING
SHOT, AND I HIT

THAT GROSSLY EXPENSIVE
PORTRAIT OF MY EX-STEPMOTHER,

IMPROVING IT IN THE
PROCESS, AND I APOLOGIZED.

DID YOU GET YOUR EAR
CLIPPED BY A BULLET?

NO. SHE BIT ME! OH!

HE CALLED ME A COKE WHORE,

AND HE WAS PROVOKING DENNIS.

SHUT UP, DEANNA.

BUT IT'S TRUE. HE KEPT SAYING
THAT ONE OF US HAD TO BE...

[DENNIS GROANS] ONE
OF YOU HAD TO BE WHAT?

DON'T ANSWER THAT!

MR. BLOOM, I WARNED
YOU. READ 'EM THEIR RIGHTS.

BIG MOUTH! PEASANT!

I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO PIT
THEM AGAINST ONE ANOTHER

BY INTERROGATING
THEM INDIVIDUALLY.

A GROUP THERAPY
SESSION SOUNDS FINE TO ME,

BUT SOMEONE IS CONFESSING
TOMORROW, COUNSELOR,

AND THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

DEANNA: OW!

DEVLIN: DO YOU REALIZE WHAT
I HAD TO SLEEP ON LAST NIGHT?

DENNIS: HEY, HEY, HEY!

GABRIEL: YOU GUYS EVER SHUT UP?

NEVER.

STOP WITH THAT
PEN. SCREW YOU, DEN.

BLOOM: STOP IT. JUST
THE TWO OF YOU STOP IT.

THANK YOU, SARGE...

THANK YOU, SERGEANT.

DETECTIVE. LIEUTENANT.

THIS IS DEPUTY CHIEF.

GET YOUR FEET OFF THE FURNITURE.

WHAT IS MR. YATES DOING HERE?

I'LL EXPLAIN THAT IN
A MINUTE, BUT FIRST...

I'M GOING TO MAKE
SOME ASSUMPTIONS.

I'M GOING TO ASSUME THAT
WHOEVER MURDERED ALBERT

ALSO MURDERED ANGELINA,

AND THAT'S A GOOD ASSUMPTION
FOR YOUR CLIENTS, MR. BLOOM,

BECAUSE IF I'M RIGHT,
THAT'LL BE MORE MONEY

FOR THE INNOCENT TO
SPLIT BETWEEN THEM.

REALLY?

IS THAT A RULE OR SOMETHING?

NO, IT'S A LAW, YOU IDIOT!

LISTEN, CAREFULLY...
LISTEN, CAREFULLY...

QUIET! NOW LISTEN
TO ME. THIS ISN'T...

LISTEN! THIS IS NOT SOMETHING
YOU CAN JUST LAUGH OFF.

WHOEVER COMMITTED THESE
CRIMES, DID SO WITH CAREFUL THOUGHT.

WHICH RULES YOU OUT. HA HA HA!

WHICH MEANS, IT IS MURDER

WITH SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES.

IT COULD LEAD TO
THE DEATH PENALTY.

YOUR LIVES COULD BE AT STAKE.

SO... WHEN I ASK
YOU TO BE QUIET,

LET ME TALK,

PLEASE OBLIGE ME.

THANK YOU.

WE'VE ALREADY VERIFIED

THAT DEANNA WAS SEQUESTERED
AT A REHAB IN MALIBU

WHEN ALBERT'S MURDER TOOK PLACE.

YAY. SO I CAN GO?

NO, NO, NO. BECAUSE THAT
DOESN'T RULE OUT CONSPIRACY,

AND UNFORTUNATELY WE FOUND LOTS

AND LOTS OF VICODIN IN ALBERT,

AND WHEN WE SERVED
OUR SEARCH WARRANT,

DEANNA, LOOKING
FOR DRUGS, WE FOUND

LOTS AND LOTS OF
VICODIN IN YOUR HOUSE.

WAIT. YOU TOOK MY REFILLS?
I JUST GOT THOSE YESTERDAY.

SO HOW DO WE KNOW
YOU DIDN'T PASS OFF

THOSE PILLS TO YOUR BROTHERS

AND THEY DIDN'T USE
THEM TO DRUG ALBERT?

WELL, FOR ONE THING, DEANNA
WON'T SHARE DRUGS WITH ANYONE.

DENNIS, BE QUIET. BE QUIET.

YOU CAN KNOW IT
WASN'T DEANNA'S VICODIN

BECAUSE I REMOVED ALL
THE DRUGS FROM HER HOUSE

LAST MONTH WHEN I
DROPPED HER OFF AT REHAB.

JUST LIKE I DID THE MONTH BEFORE

AND THE MONTH BEFORE THAT.

IT'S A LITTLE RITUAL
WE GO THROUGH,

AND I WILL TESTIFY
TO THAT IN COURT.

WELL, THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH
FOR ME, THEN DEANNA.

YOU GO WAIT IN THE HALLWAY.

UNCLE JAMES, IF IT'S
A MATTER OF ALIBIS,

I'VE ALREADY PROVIDED ONE.

YES, BUT YOU'VE ALSO PROVEN

THAT YOU HAD THE PASS CODES

TO THE GATES IN YOUR HOUSE,

SO YOU COULD GET IN AND OUT.

MAY I ASK A QUESTION
THAT GOES TO MOTIVE?

WHY WOULD DEVLIN
KILL THE FAMILY BUTLER?

IF ALBERT OVERDOSED ANGELINA,

HE ALSO MADE THE
CHILDREN FABULOUSLY RICH.

WELL, HOW'S THIS FOR MOTIVE?

ALBERT MIGHT'VE KNOWN WHO
ACTUALLY MURDERED ANGELINA.

HE MIGHT'VE BEEN BRIBED TO KEEP

THAT INFORMATION TO HIMSELF,

AND TO SUFFER
THROUGH A MURDER TRIAL

THAT HE WAS PROMISED
HE WOULD WIN.

AND THEN, ALBERT MIGHT
HAVE CHANGED HIS MIND.

HE MIGHT'VE DECIDED
THAT THE DEAL

THAT WAS BEING OFFERED
BY MR. YATES WASN'T SO BAD,

AND THE PERSON HE WAS
PROTECTING MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT,

"GEE, LOOKS LIKE ALBERT'S
GETTING COLD FEET.

"MAYBE I SHOULD HANG
HIM FROM A FLAGPOLE

ON THE BACK TERRACE."

SO YOU HAVE AN ALIBI, YES,

BUT WHO'S TO SAY
THAT YOU DIDN'T GIVE

THOSE PASS CODES TO DENNIS
AND LET HIM DO YOUR DIRTY WORK?

DEVLIN DID NOT HAVE
THE PASS CODES.

HE WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE GATE

BECAUSE HE STOLE
THE REMOTE CONTROL

WHEN YOU FOUND ALBERT'S BODY.

HE ONLY GAVE IT BACK TO
ME AFTER DENNIS SHOT AT HIM.

YATES: AND I SUPPOSE
YOU'D BE WILLING

TO SWEAR TO THAT
IN COURT AS WELL?

I WOULD.

WELL, THEN, DEVLIN,

YOU CAN WAIT IN THE
HALLWAY WITH YOUR SISTER.

HEH. LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE
LEFT WITH DENNIS THE MENACE.

SO, MR. DUTTON...

LAST FRIDAY, 2 DAYS
BEFORE ALBERT WAS KILLED,

$5 MILLION WAS WIRED INTO YOUR
BANK ACCOUNT IN SWITZERLAND.

WHERE DID THAT MONEY COME FROM?

DON'T ANSWER THAT.

NO, REALLY, UNCLE JAMES,

I THINK JUST THIS ONCE
YOU SHOULD LET ME EXPLAIN.

BLOOM: ABSOLUTELY NOT.

CHIEF JOHNSON, MR. YATES,

AFTER THE DISTRESSING INCIDENT
INVOLVING HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND,

DENNIS WAS NEVER ALLOWED DIRECT
ACCESS TO COMPANY FUNDS AGAIN.

HIS FATHER WOULDN'T ALLOW IT,

THEREFORE I HAD TO BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL TRANSACTIONS

TO AND FROM HIS ACCOUNTS.

AND WOULD YOU AGREE
TO SIGN THIS WAIVER

ALLOWING US TO CHECK
THE VALIDITY OF THAT?

HAPPILY.

WELL, THEN, MR. DUTTON,

WOULD YOU MIND WAITING
OUTSIDE FOR A MOMENT, PLEASE?

OF COURSE.

REALLY, UNCLE JAMES,

I'D FORGOTTEN HOW GOOD
YOU WERE AT ALL THIS.

CONGRATULATIONS, SIR.

ONCE AGAIN, YOU'VE
HELPED A MURDERER GO FREE.

WELL, NOT EXACTLY.

IF YOU'D BEEN
LISTENING CAREFULLY,

ACTUALLY, SOMEONE
JUST CONFESSED.

WHO?

WHY, MR. BLOOM.

[LAUGHING]

EXCUSE ME.

TO WHAT DID I JUST CONFESS?

TO THE MURDER OF ALBERT TURNER.

BECAUSE, THANKS TO YOU,

THE DUTTON CHILDREN ALL HAVE
CONCRETE, UNBREAKABLE ALIBIS.

AND YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE LEFT WITH
THE MOTIVE, MEANS, AND OPPORTUNITY.

YATES: MY GOD.

YOU TOOK THE PILLS
FROM DEANNA'S HOUSE.

ONLY YOU AND ALBERT HAD
THE PASS CODES TO THE GATE.

BRENDA: AND YOU JUST ADMITTED

THAT YOU WERE THE ONLY PERSON

WHO COULD TRANSFER MONEY
INTO AND OUT OF DENNIS'S ACCOUNT,

AND YOU SIGNED THIS WAIVER,

ALLOWING US TO CHECK
THE VALIDITY OF THAT.

SO... WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BET

WE DISCOVER THAT YOU
GAVE ALBERT $5 MILLION?

THAT WAS AN ADVANCE
ON HIS INHERITANCE.

THEN WHY DID YOU TAKE IT AWAY?

AFTER MR. YATES HERE
OFFERED ALBERT A DEAL,

YOU TRANSFERRED THAT
MONEY OUT OF ALBERT'S ACCOUNT

AND INTO ONE HELD BY DENNIS,

AND WHY WOULD YOU HAVE DONE THAT

UNLESS YOU KNEW
ALBERT WAS GOING TO DIE?

YOU ARE THE ONE WHO
MADE THE ASSUMPTION

THAT WHOEVER KILLED
ALBERT ALSO KILLED ANGELINA.

IT WAS THE CHILDREN
WHO HAD THE MOTIVE

TO BENEFIT FROM
HER DEATH, NOT ME.

EVERYONE LOST OUT
IN THAT LAST WILL.

YOU SAID SO IN MY OFFICE.

SO I CHECKED IT OUT.

YATES: ANGELINA WAS
LIQUIDATING THE COMPANY,

HIRING ALL NEW ATTORNEYS.

YOU SPENT YOUR ENTIRE
LIFE... HOW DID YOU PUT IT?

STRAIGHTENIN' UP
AFTER THE DUTTONS,

ALWAYS AROUND THE FAMILY,
BUT NEVER REALLY PART OF IT.

THAT'S HARD, I KNOW.

BUT KILLIN' PEOPLE, MR. BLOOM?

MAYBE A REAL DUTTON
COULD GET AWAY WITH MURDER,

BUT NOT YOU.

NOW, YOU'RE A GOOD ATTORNEY.

YOU KNOW WHAT
WE'RE GOING TO FIND.

YATES: I'M GONNA TRACE
ALL THESE CASH TRANSFERS

TO AND FROM ALBERT..

RIGHT BACK TO YOU.

AREN'T I, JAMES?

WILL YOU TAKE THE DEATH
PENALTY OFF OF THE TABLE?

IF YOU CONFESS TO BOTH
MURDERS RIGHT NOW.

THE ONLY THING I REALLY REGRET,

BESIDES KILLING ALBERT.

THAT... THAT WAS TOO BAD.

I'M... I'M GONNA MISS HIM.

BUT I'M REALLY SORRY

THAT I NEVER GOT THE OPPORTUNITY

TO KNOCK OFF THOSE
HORRIBLE CHILDREN.

IS THERE A CHANCE I
COULD PLEAD INSANITY?

[WHISTLES]

DO YOU MIND?

NO.

WELL, UM...

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT DESPITE
THE SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES

THAT I'VE ENJOYED
OUR TIME TOGETHER.

HARD TO IMAGINE UNCLE JAMES
GAVE HIMSELF AWAY LIKE THAT.

OF COURSE, HE'S
NOT A REAL UNCLE.

IT'S JUST A TERM OF
ENDEARMENT, REALLY.

YEAH, YOU SEEM LIKE THE
REAL ENDEARIN' TYPE, I CAN TELL.

DO I DETECT A TOUCH OF SARCASM?

WELL, PERHAPS YOU AND I SHOULD
SPEND A LITTLE MORE TIME TOGETHER.

I MIGHT ALTER
YOUR OPINION OF ME.

I SAW PICTURES OF
YOUR LAST GIRLFRIEND.

KIND OF A BIG TURN-OFF FOR ME.

AH.

WELL, I GUESS THAT RUMOR
WILL ALWAYS FOLLOW ME AROUND.

IT'S A SHAME REALLY.

WISH YOU'D CONCENTRATED
ON FINDING HER KILLER

AS HARD AS YOU DID FINDING
ALBERT'S AND ANGELINA'S.

HOW DO YOU SLEEP
AT NIGHT, MR. DUTTON?

SLEEP IS OVERRATED.

BESIDES, I NOW HAVE OVER 600
MILLION NEW REASONS TO STAY AWAKE.

YOU KNOW, I REALIZE WE COME
FROM VERY DIFFERENT WORLDS,

BUT THERE ARE SO
FEW PEOPLE THAT I FIND...

REALLY INTERESTING.

IS IT TOO MUCH TO HOPE

THAT YOU AND I MIGHT
CROSS PATHS AGAIN ONE DAY?

HM-HMM...

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU
WISH FOR, MR. DUTTON.

TILL THEN, MISS JOHNSON.
