Their breasts and vaginas pierced.

He asked me if I would let him

tie me up.

I agreed to try it,

but soon that's all he wanted to do.

What happened then?

He became violent.

He would hurt me...

and he'd get this look in his eyes.

What kind of look?

I can't even describe it.

It was deranged, crazy.

And I knew if I didn't get out of there

something terrible was going to happen.

I am sorry we had to make you relive

such an awful experience, Miss Paige.

Your witness.

Ms. Paige, do you feel vindictive

toward your ex-husband?

It's hard not to feel vindictive

toward someone who abuses you.

Was he ever, say, late on alimony?

I didn't ask for alimony.

I didn't want him

to know where I was.

I didn't want him anywhere near me.

No more questions.

Look, you said it yourself.

She's vindictive.

She didn't sound vindictive to me.

She sounded injured.

Virginia didn't ask you to tie her up.

It was the other way around.

- It's not true.

- Don't lie to me, David.

You know I haven't lied to you.

Anyone can beat a polygraph, David.

All it takes is lack of conscience.

Look, Maureen.

Celeste has ulterior motives.

Please, David.

I haven't candy-coated the truth,

no matter how bad it makes me look.

I need you on my side.

I'm your defense attorney.

I have to be on your side.

I want more than that.

I hope you're this convincing

on the stand, David...

because after today's testimony,

that's the only chance we've got.

You shouldn't leave your door unlocked.

There's a lot of maniacs running around.

And one of them is standing

right in front of me.

That's not a very nice thing to say

to someone's who's trying to help you.

Oh, yeah. Right.

So what was so important

you had to see me?

I'm scared.

- I want out.

- You want out?

That sick f*** tortured

and murdered your friend.

You want him to get away with that?

Is that what you want?

You know that's not what I want.

But what if they fiind out?

The only way they will fiind out

is if you tell them.

Just keep your mouth shut

and you'll be home free.

Look, Molly...

why don't you get lost

for a couple of weeks?

Go to Hawaii

till this thing blows over.

Yeah, I'll just go to the bank

and take out a loan.

Well, how much do you charge

your clientele?

I don't do that anymore...

thanks to you.

That's too bad.

I was thinking

of making a contribution...

to the Molly Malone Deserves

a Trip to Hawaii Fund.

How does that sound?

How much were you going to give?

Oh, no. I don't do that.

No, you forget, honey...

I know everything you do.

It was nearly 2:
00 a.m. when I left.

I drove straight home and went to bed.

Mr. Mulholland, are you responsible

for the death of Virginia Hill?

No. Absolutely not.

Thank you.

No further questions.

Your witness, Mr. Booth.

Now, Mr. Mulholland,

do you frequent adult book stores?

Well, I've been known

to visit them on occasion, certainly.

And have you made purchases there?

On occasion.

Sadomasochistic material?

- It's possible.

- Now, what if I told you...

that a cashier

at one of these establishments...

claims that you purchase

exclusively sadomasochistic material?

Objection.

Your Honor, there's been no mention...

of this alleged cashier

in any other testimony.

Your Honor, he will appear

on redirect.

If he does appear on redirect

then the testimony will stand.

Otherwise it will be stricken

from the record.

By then the damage will already

have been done, Your Honor.

I said ``overruled,'' Ms. Doherty.

Answer the question, Mr. Mulholland.

Would this cashier be lying

if he says that you have...

an exclusive interest

in sadomasochistic material?

- Yes, he would.

- And other customers--

would they be lying too?

Yes.

Drink up.

I never should have

put him on the stand.

Well, you didn't have a choice.

His ex-wife's testimony skewered you.

This isn't good, Bri.

It is not good.

It's just not an option.

As it stands, I can't see the jury

not coming back with a guilty verdict.

You could go to the gas chamber.

At least consider a plea bargain.

No. I won't admit to a crime

I didn't do.

I have nothing to fiight them with.

How about the truth?

You have to fiind out

where they're hiding it.

Going somewhere?

Ms. Malone, I'll remind you

that you're still under oath.

Ms. Malone, you stated that the last

time you spoke with Virginia Hill...

was on the night she died,

at the club-- is that true?

She called me that night,

at about 2:
00 in the morning.

And what did she say?

She wanted to know if I would

work a shift for her at the club.

Is there anything else

about the phone call you remember?

I heard Ginny talking to someone--

to a guy.

And was that guy Mr. Mulholland?

I don't think so.

Why don't you think so?

Because I heard him ask her

if she was talking to Mulholland...

and she said no,

she was talking to me.

Did you tell this to the police?

- Yes, I did.

- And who did you talk to there?

To Detective Doherty.

I told him, and he said that I must be

mistaken. I told him that I wasn't.

Then he said that I didn't

give a sh*t about Ginny...

because I was just helping her killer.

And did Mr. Doherty say

who he thought the killer was?

Yeah.

He said that David Mulholland killed her

and that he had proof.

So you lied under oath...

because Detective Doherty told you

Mulholland was the killer.

I just lied because I was afraid.

Afraid of what?

A couple of years ago

I skipped bail in Texas.

And when Doherty was questioning me

he had an arrest warrant...

with my name on it

conveniently sitting on his desk.

So you believed Detective Doherty...

one of our illustrious LAPD...

would arrest you if you didn't lie?

Yes.

That is exactly what I believed.

Thank you, Miss Malone.

No more questions.

Your witness.

Miss Malone, did you not tell

Detective Doherty that you had been...

drinking quite heavily that evening?

I told him that I had some champagne.

I believe you told Detective Doherty

that you had eight glasses.

So it would be fair to say

that you were inebriated?

- I know what I heard.

- Is that right?

You had eight drinks--

eight drinks--

and you claim to know what you heard?

Objection, Your Honor.

Badgering the witness.

Sustained.

Caution, Mr. Booth.

Miss Malone,

did Detective Doherty...

actually threaten you with arrest?

- No, but he had the--

- Yes or no?

And he didn't ask you

to lie either, did he?

All he suggested was

that you be absolutely sure...

the testimony you gave

was the truth...

and not some drunken recollection.

Your Honor, now he's testifying

for the witness.

Sustained.

Withdrawn.

No further questions.

Court is adjourned

until 9:
00 a.m. tomorrow morning.

I came as soon as you called.

God forgive me.

Oh, that's great.

Thank you, Claire.

So, Mrs. Peterson, what did you fiind

when going through your husbands things?

A check written to Virginia Hill

for $5,000.

Is this the check?

Yes.

Did you ask your husband about it?
