Guilty as Sin Page #5

out of the actual act.

lt was more the, the planning

and the covering up...

that was the most rewarding.

You spent the money very quickly

and you needed more.

lt's never difficult to find.

Did you know that there's

a certain breed of women...

that always seem

to seek out men like me?

They think that their money

puts them in control.

And for a while,

l go along with it.

But you'd never been

arrested before?

Questioned once or twice,

but never detained.

Back in New York?

l never said l lived in New York.

But somewhere on,

on the East coast.

Emily. Just in the nick of time.

l was about to spill my guts

all over this table.

Would you like me to send out

for some sandwiches?

Uh-- Uh, no. No, thank you.

Uh, uh, l think

we're about finished.

So, w-we'll meet again

on, on Friday.

- At 10:
00.

- Yes, Friday at 10:00.

l'll bet you can hardly wait.

A-And David,

don't call me at home.

Oh, you won't hear

from me until Friday.

Emily. You've lost

a couple of pounds.

Keep up the good work.

- Hello.

- Moe, l need to see you right away.

He's toying with you.

lf he can prove it, that's,

that's something else.

l just had a feeling it had

to be New York or Boston...

or Philadelphia;

some major city on the East coast...

where wealthy women congregate.

He said he'd been

picked up and questioned.

Well, that's a definite plus.

He might have been operating

under a different name.

Maybe not.

This boy loves to take chances.

l need you to help me, Moe.

Whatever.

l need you find out every

single thing you can about him.

You can't turn him in unless you

wanna kiss your career goodbye.

Why is--

Why is he inventing things about me?

Why is he loading me up with information

that could potentially harm him?

Moe, he had this whole thing

worked out in advance.

He chose me to defend him

before he killed his wife.

What if he--

What if he decides it's

too risky for me to be alive?

Thank you! Thank you,

thank you so much!

Trevor-Norton, eh?

We can work that one out.

No, l can't.

l'll be in, uh, court next week.

Yeah, Trevor-Norton.

Custom-made shoes in London.

But they went out

of business two years ago.

- Do you think you can

trace him back through them?

- Well, l got other leads.

Has his shirts made in Hong Kong.

Here, let me do that.

- l'll take you to the airport, okay?

- Ah, good. Yeah.

And the deceased, Mrs Greenhill, visited

you at the 101st Detective Division...

exactly one week

before her death. ls that right?

- She did.

- Will you tell us

the substance of that meeting?

She told me she was desperately afraid

her husband intended to kill her.

Did you speak to Mrs Greenhill

subsequent to that first meeting?

Yeah, l, uh, telephoned her five days

later to make sure she was all right.

She said she was living in

a constant state of terror,

locking her bedroom door at night.

So l urged her to move

into a hotel, contact her lawyer.

Uh, there was no action that

the police could have taken

under the circumstances.

Unfortunately, no crime

had been committed.

Your witness.

Lieutenant Martinez,

do you feel guilty now about

not having taken action?

Why should l?

l went by the book.

l don't see how

l could have prevented it.

You didn't believe her, did you?

l thought she was maybe making trouble

for her husband. l don't know.

Well, Mr Greenhill sent me to this,

uh, uniform store on Grant Street...

to, uh, to get outfitted.

He, uh, he said he was tired of seeing

me in the same uniforms every day.

Did he tell you

what time to be back?

No, actually he said

there was no need to hurry.

And in less than one hour after you left

Mrs Greenhill alone with her husband,

she plunged to her death

from the 18th floor window.

- Objection. Leading.

- Withdrawn. No more questions.

Mr Loo, you were with

the deceased for over a year

before she married David Greenhill.

- ls that right?

- Right.

And during that time, who gave

you your orders and instructions

around the house?

Mrs Greenhill did, of course.

So it may very well have been

Rita Greenhill's idea...

that you leave early

that day for the fitting.

Well, it could have been.

Now, you saw the defendant get off

the elevator and cross the lobby.

- ls that right?

- Yes.

Did he give you any

special instructions?

He said his wife was sleeping late

and under no circumstances

should she be disturbed.

Did you actually see

Mr Greenhill exit into the street?

You know, l'm not sure.

But you are certain he couldn't have

reentered the elevator and gone back up.

Suppose he slipped around to

the far corner of the lobby and

took the service elevator up.

- Would you have seen that?

- Well, l wouldn't have seen that.

Your witness.

Well, he had an overcoat on.

lt-- lt was chilly outside.

l think he had on gloves.

- Excuse me?

- He had on gloves.

He always dressed real smart,

Mr Greenhill. Just like today. Real G.Q.

- We've seen the suit,

Mr Greenhill. Sit down.

- Uh, sorry.

Mr Nolan, are you certain

he had on gloves?

his fingerprints all over

would put on gloves afterwards?

- Hardly a question, Your Honour.

- Out of line, Miss Haines,

and you know it.

The jury will disregard

Miss Haines' comments.

- What was going on

in the lobby that day?

- Same as every day.

- Only in the lobby?

- No.

- Could you be more specific?

- Well, at that particular time,

they were sandblasting

from 11 through 9.

On eight, they were knocking out walls,

combining apartments.

- How were they getting there?

- Service elevator, service stairs.

- l don't see how.

- And to your knowledge,

did the police question each

and every one of those painters

and plasterers and plumbers...

to find out whether or not

they had seen David Greenhill?

-Objection.

-Withdrawn. l have no further questions.

We will adjourn

until 9:
30 tomorrow morning.

Well, l think that made

a few points with the jury.

You seem surprised

l'm doing a decent job.

Hello, Esther.

Say hello to Jennifer Haines.

Jennifer, this is my friend, Esther.

Well, you're every bit as attraactive

as David said you were

I'm sure he's never

stopped talking about me.

- Surprise.

- I hope this brings us up-to-date.

[ Skipped item nr. 690 ]

You could have paid

your bills from the start

I would have paid up on the spot.

Would you care to join us for dinner ?

[ Skipped item nr. 694 ]

No, uh, thank you.

l have to prepare for tomorrow.

See, l just sit here and look pretty

and she does all the work.

He's very lucky

to have you on his side.

Moe, l can hardly hear you.

l'm at the Baltimore Airport

just boarding a plane to Boston.

Thanks to our friendly London

shoe company, l picked up

quite a trail on Greenhill.

He lived here in Maryland

for eight months. Before that,

in Boston under the name of...

Edgar Greenhill.

- lsn't that his middle name?

- Yeah.

Listen, there's a--

There's a woman here, Selma Hanks,

who died here after
