Phil Spector Page #4

How can you do that?

You can't.

[Police sirens]

I thought you

were going home.

It's the only hard

evidence they have.

Everything else can

be argued both

sides.

He's a freak.

They're gonna convict

him of, "I just don't

like you."

Well, you break

the chauffeur

on the stand.

What?

As a cop, I'd say

DA's got the chauffeur

jammed up.

On illegal

immigration?

No, you're not using

enough gun.

My money, they told

this guy, look.

Here's a video of you

helping a woman.

Oh, look.

She don't walk too well.

Has she been drugged?

Oh, and here you are

helping her to go

into the house

of this man

who was paying you,

from which house

she emerged dead.

Guess what.

You're an accessory

to murder.

They've got your guy

jammed up tighter

than Kelsey's nuts.

Well, then he's

gonna need a good

lawyer.

[People shouting]

[Police sirens]

[People shouting]

POLICEMAN:
Back, back.

Step aside.

Stay back.

WOMAN:
Phil.

Giovanetta Ricci

of Teleitalia.

Phil, I'd like to be

inside your mind

for just 5 minutes.

PHIL:
You wouldn't like it.

GIOVANETTA:
Phil!

[People shouting]

Mr. Jackson.

JACKSON:
Thank you,

Your Honor.

Good morning,

everybody.

We spent a lot of

time over the last

few days

talking about what

you've read about

the case,

what you've heard

about the case,

what you know,

what you think you

know about the case.

This is my opportunity

to talk with you

for a few minutes

about what we expect

the evidence to show,

the actual facts

in the case, to show.

And that evidence,

ladies and gentlemen,

is going to paint

a very, very clear picture.

the picture of a man,

Philip Spector,

who, when he's confronted

with the right

circumstances,

when he's confronted

with the right situation,

turns sinister and deadly.

You all right?

Yeah.

JACKSON:
The evidence is going

to paint a picture of a man

who on February 3, 2003,

put a loaded pistol

in Lana Clarkson's mouth

inside her mouth,

and shot her to death.

This is what

the evidence will show.

But to understand more

fully, more globally, why

Philip Spector would have done

what he did, how Lana Clarkson

fell victim to this man,

you're going to be

introduced to evidence

of the defendant's very

rich history of violence,

a history of violence

against women,

a history of violence

involving guns.

Ladies and gentlemen,

in other words,

through the presentation

of the evidence

in this case, you're going

to be introduced

to the real

Philip Spector.

On February 3, 2003,

at about 5:
00 in the morning,

a single gunshot cracked

the silence of the

normally very quiet

community of

Alhambra, California.

WOMAN:
Hey, Phil!

Hey, Phil!

Back to mono!

Back to mono, Phil!

Back to mono!

Back to mono, Phil!

Back to mono.

Thank you for

saying that.

You're welcome,

and that's blood!

That's Lana

Clarkson's blood!

That's Lana

Clarkson's blood,

you f***ing

murderer!

You freak!

[People shouting]

WOMAN:
F***ing murderer!

That's her blood!

And so therefore, what?

It comes down to

whether she shot

herself

or he shot her.

But--

WOMAN:
Wasn't

nobody else in

the room.

What if it were impossible

that he shot her?

WOMAN 2:
The we're back

to, why did she

kill herself?

MAN:
And he had

pulled guns on women

in the past.

WOMAN:
He ain't

putting that

toothpaste

back in the tube.

That information

is in the air.

It's not going back.

And you've got the--

we've seen all the--

we've seen--you got,

um--can you play

that video?

Of course.

[Beep]

WITNESS:
He locked the door

and he held me there

at gunpoint.

He said, "If you leave,

I'll blow your head off."

I was standing there

in the lobby,

in the door.

I turned around,

and there was a gun

pointing at me.

I said, "Stop that."

BRUCE:
This is

going nowhere.

LINDA:
Why is it

going nowhere?

Because the only way

to walk our guy

out of the court--

because the only question

those folks want to know is,

if she pulled the trigger,

you had better tell me

why she did beyond

all doubt, because I

do not like your guy.

Those people in there,

all their lives have

got the short end

from the more powerful.

There's nothing

redeeming in our guy.

Given the choice,

they're gonna go

for payback time.

On what evidence?

You don't have to

convince me.

You have to convince them.

I thought you were

going back to New York.

I'm staying on

for the hotel food.

Get on board

because our case is

she's a suicidal pillhead,

and we have letters

and we have e-mails,

and we...

WITNESS:
I turned around,

and there was a gun

pointing at me.

I said, "Stop that."

I said, "Put it down."

"Stop. Just--

Stop.

He was screaming,

"You're not going.

"I'm not unlocking the door.

"I'll blow you away.

I'll shoot you."

Now--now how many of you

think he's guilty?

What if, with all

the facts that seem to be

against him...

BRUCE:
The girl f***ing

shot herself.

WOMAN:
What if we have

testimony

that he'd said in public--

that Phil Spector

had said in public

to Lana Clarkson...

REPORTER:
You're

on record as

saying

you're never

happy unless

you're unhappy.

Yeah.

So does that make me

so unusual?

Mr. Spector?

How many millions

of people..

That's good, and

how many millions--

Freud was, God bless him,

essentially

a confidence man.

He didn't invent a cure.

He invented a disease.

MAN:
Phil!

PHIL:
Yeah?

MAN:
Where do you

want it from?

PHIL:
Take it from

measure 14.

REPORTER:
Freud said

there was no cure but

that perhaps

he could transform

unbearable

unhappiness

into simple human

misery.

PHIL:
Jack Daniels

can do that.

MAN:
Phil, where

do you want it from?

PHIL:
Oh, man.

A job can do that.

Please, guys!

What are you guys

doing, man?

Hey, malingerers,

what do you want?

You want one of them

lounge chairs, floats

in your pool?

When did this

come in?

PHIL:
A little...

We just got that.

PHIL:
Are you cold?

Listen, you want to

rest, go ahead.

Rest until you feel like

picking it up

at measure 14.

I don't care.

Let me know.

REPORTER:

You know, Freud--

Freud?

What's Freud gonna do?

What is he gonna do--

change the past?

Tell the f***ing client

to indulge his feelings?

I--you know what

I say? No.

If he's got the courage,

let the guy go out

and make something

of his life.

It can be done, you know?

MAN:
Phil, where

do you want it from?

Yeah? Yeah. Oh, Barry,

what do you want?

BARRY:
You want it

from measure 14?

PHIL:
No, you know

what I want?

I want you motherfuckers--

I'm coming.

Hold on a minute,

all right?

Here you go. Hey.

We'll be with you

in a minute. Don't worry.

MAN:
Don't

be stupid--

PHIL:
OK, motherfuckers.

I told you you should

finish college, huh?

Join the Marines, anything

rather than throw yourself

on my...

MAN:
Phil, OK--

PHIL:
boundless mercy.

Right?

Take you in from

the cold--and you

know I did.

You should consider it

a mercy I killed

a lot of you,

save you the shame,
