The body's really wet. I think he was drowned. Oh, yeah? Well, they drowned him in the Hudson, then they pull him up and they dump him here, see? If he'd have been drowned in the Hudson, he'd have dissolved. >> Yeah, well, they soaked him in something. Everything makes sense. Shot, then drowned. Slugs went to ballistics. Did you get a label for the tux? Yeah. Tailor-made. Sugarman, Fifth Avenue. Good. Sent him out, but uh wouldn't count on it. The body was a popsicle. Ice crystals in his organs. He was frozen. Frozen? How long that party he was dressed for? I'd say he was on his way 4 or 5 years ago. You know, this really ain't a good time. Is that right? What time is it going to be? We have to get a warrant. Yeah, you know, I know what you guys are looking to do. You want the health inspectors to throw my food away, right? Take it easy. How long till you get out of there, huh? My orange juice is going to go bad. Yeah, man. It's funny, huh? You guys don't know when to let up. You always make your orange juice wearing a tux? I uh got an idea on the prints. A Mr. Joshua Foster, Broadway producer. Files coming from Midtown South. Oh, that's great. Well, why the hell didn't Missing Persons have something on her? Well, why does it always rain on my birthday? Somebody screwed up. Don't take it out on me. I always expected a phone call. We found your brother. Mhm. So, then would you thought somebody had killed him? No, I mean before he disappeared. I always thought they'd say he was in a gutter on the Bowery. What, a big Broadway producer? Well, he was only successful after he died. After Bleak House. Well, before that, Josh did three. They all ran for a total of 11 nights. Sometimes I even had to pay his rent. He was a failure. He couldn't even get a date in high school. I mean, he was finally normal. He was He had this big show. He was in love. Who was he in love with? Who else? An actress. Leslie Hart. I made mistakes. I was young. You can make a right turn from the left lane. That's a mistake. Prostitution and drug dealing? I was broke. It's an escort service, not sex for money. No. Drugs for money. Can we tie something down here? The night Mr. Foster disappeared. >> I told him. All of it. The drugs, everything. You were at rehearsal. I guess. 5 years ago. I've lived a lifetime since then. Mr. Wallace was with you that night? Um he probably would have been. He was not with Mr. Foster looking for new investors? That rehearsal, the one that Mr. Foster missed. You were there all night? You remember where you were 5 years ago? >> Yeah, I remember that I wasn't in business with a man who disappeared. Look, you said you were driven to the theater, right? So? It's a crime to ride in limousines? Used a service, your own car? I had a driver. Still got him? I fired him. Used to leave a shot of bourbon on the dashboard. It made me nervous. You remember his name? Yeah, it was Denner. Lloyd Denner. I saw the papers. Body in the dumpster. You can read. That gets you a diploma, not a deal. How about frozen pie? Newspaper say anything about a freezer? I got 2 years yet. I want to be out by my wedding anniversary. That's next week. If you have the right information, your sentence might get reduced to time served. Write me a ticket. Uh-uh-uh-uh. For anything that's written on paper, you tell us about that freezer. Paid hit. Lloyd kept calling him the frozen fat man. Paid by who? Somebody had to have a motive. Leslie Hart lied to the cops, and she has a record. Joshua was so innocent. He wanted to make sure he wore his overcoat in the winter. He didn't wear one he was shot. I didn't see him that night. And Mr. Wallace? Gary wouldn't kill Josh. It was that uh driver, what's his name? I mean, he was like out of a gangster movie. You know about gangsters? Drug dealing gangsters? I dealt drugs because I was poor. The night Mr. Foster disappeared, you told police that you were in rehearsal. We can't find anyone who saw you there before 9:00. This Lloyd, whatever his name is, killed the man I was going to marry. And I didn't come here to be accused. You testify against your co-conspirators. Three counts. Six years each count. 18 years? Mr. Ketchum will take his chances at trial. You want to get back to us? Make an offer. You give us immunity on this case. On the three federal counts, three years each, nine years total. Nine years? It's hard to imagine the US attorney will settle for that. Well, it's hard to imagine my client will help you if they don't. Make your call. How long should this imaginary call take? Let him stew. 10, 15 minutes do the trick. Lloyd Denner calls me, says Leslie wants to move 70, 80 pounds of coke. She tell you why? She wants to buy into this show, get this fat man Foster off her back. Riddle. Calls for Riddle and Logan. You know, there's a lesson in this. Never fall in love with an actress. Rex Harrison said it. They never stop acting. Miss Hart. Leslie Hart, you're under arrest for the murder of Joshua Foster. Is this some kind of a joke? A sketch for your new show. Will you put some cuffs on her and get her in the car? Hands behind your back, please. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you. Leslie and me when we younger, we sold some drugs together. Now, on this occasion, 5 years ago, when Miss Hart asked you to purchase cocaine, did she tell you why? Objection. Calls for hearsay. Overruled. Utterance in furtherance of the conspiracy. Mr. Ketchum? Some people had fronted us some coke. She wanted to put some of her own money in the show. Otherwise, she'd have to marry this fat slob to get anything. When the narcotics were delivered, did Mr. Foster say anything to you? He was nervous, shaking. I think this jerk does know cocaine from shoe polish. He's watching Leslie unload the trunk, and he says real loud, "She's beautiful, isn't she? But if she did anything to hurt me, I'd call the cops on her." Did Miss Hart hear what he said? She heard. And she didn't like it at all. Mr. Ketchum, did you recommend that Miss Hart hire Mr. Denner as a driver? She wanted a muscle. She said you never knew, might come in handy. Thank you. No further questions. Who paid Mr. Denner's salary? As far as I know, uh Wallace. So, Miss Hart never hired him? No. No, not really, no. Mr. Ketchum, this federal indictment, in your plea bargain, you agreed to how many years in prison? Nine years. What was the maximum sentence? 30 years, give or take. You saved yourself 21 years. Is that an inducement to tell the truth? Objection. Withdrawn. I have no questions of this witness. Miss Hart, I must be dumb. You dealt the drugs, you got the money, but Wallace gave the order? It was Gary's idea. I loved Josh. I was a kid, for God's sake. You loved him, but you didn't call the police. I was afraid they'd kill me, too. Denner was afraid you'd kill him. You're afraid he'd kill you. I think you're confusing fear with greed. Manslaughter one. Mr. Wallace smells bad to that jury, not my client. Conspiracy one. Maybe Wallace has a better story. Whose story the jury going to believe? Mine.
