Body of Evidence

Yeah!

All right, easy.

Lousy morning for it.

Mr. Andrew Marsh, bagged and tagged.

Better him than us, huh?

So what did him in?

- Looks like cardiac arrest, but I'll call you later.

Move it out!

- Mr. Garrett. - Morning, sir.

I'll be outside.

Sir.

Lieutenant.

Nice quality.

Nice ass.

That was the tape in the VCR

and the power was still on.

- So the sucker had a heart attack watching his home movies.

What do you need me for?

He was tied up.

I've heard remote, but.

What the hell is this?

That is a nipple clamp.

How would you know?

He's from LA.

- I just happen to be a well-informed individual.

How does this thing work?

Who cares?

Bag it.

Kinky shit.

Hey, Harry, you wanna take a picture

of these gouges for me, please?

- Looks like she had him chewing on the wood.

- No, it looks more like she had him handcuffed.

Who found the body?

- His secretary came by to pick up some papers this morning.

Hell of a shock.

You want to talk to her?

She wouldn't leave.

Thought we were gonna steal the silver.

Well, can you blame her?

Do you want me to identify her?

It's Rebecca Carlson.

His girlfriend.

And they had a date last night according to Miss Braslow.

This is Bob Garrett from the district attorney's office.

Miss Braslow was Mr. Marsh's secretary

for the last six years.

She killed him.

You've got your first witness.

- Resurrection and the life will raise him up in glory.

Then, may he see the light of your presence, Lord Jesus.

In the name of the Father

and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

Bless this grave and send your angel to watch over it.

Forgive the sins of our brother

whose body we bury here. - Excuse me.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Go in peace with Christ.

Thanks be to God.

Miss Carlson?

I'm sorry I'm late.

I'm Frank Dulaney. - Frank Dulaney?

I look that much like a lawyer?

Who else would speak to me?

His friends think I shouldn't even be here.

Will you represent me?

- There haven't been any charges filed against you.

But there will be, you know that.

Do you think I killed him?

- That's a question 1 never ask my clients.

What matters is whether the state can prove you killed him.

I loved Andrew.

Why is it so hard for everybody to believe?

You know why.

You're young and beautiful

and you were involved with a wealthy older man.

He wasn't old to me.

I'm sorry I said that.

- A big part of my life has been taken away from me

and people are saying it was my fault.

They've taken something good between two people in love

and made it dirty.

I didn't kill him.

You believed her?

Yeah, actually, I did.

You're a romantic.

Not at all.

I just know bullshit when I hear it

and this wasn't bullshit.

Sharon, how can you say she didn't love him

without having met either one of them?

He was too old.

He's right.

That's a very narrow view of love.

Well, it's what the jury's gonna think.

Did he have any family?

Lots of wives, no kids.

Sharon.

The register broke down again.

It's the register.

You gonna be here for a while?

- No, we're gonna go on home. T

I have to lock up tonight.

Why don't you hire a manager?

- Because at least I won't be stealing from myself.

Last time this week, okay?

Quick kiss?

It's okay. Nobody noticed.

Bye. - Bye-bye.

- Jamie! - Over here!

Jamie, how'd you sneak past me?

Saw some friends.

Those are your friends?

These are my friends.

Can you really screw someone to death?

No.

Besides, you don't have to worry about that stuff yet.

Do you?

No.

Because you are a good-looking guy.

Let's go.

Okay, let's go.

A neighbor saw you go into Marsh's house at 8:30.

She's not denying she was there.

Did you have sex with him?

Yes.

Did you handcuff him to the bed?

Don't tell me it's relevant, Bobby.

- Yes. - You didn't have to

answer that.

- No, but we appreciate her honesty and cooperation.

Bullshit.

When did you leave his house?

Around midnight, I suppose.

If I had known it was going to matter,

I would've paid more attention.

Well, it's true, Frank.

There's nothing wrong with saying that.

Miss Carlson, do you use cocaine?

- Cocaine use is illegal in the state of Oregon.

I've never used it in Oregon.

Okay, can we move on, please?

Did Mr. Marsh use cocaine?

Never.

- The toxicology tests came back positive for cocaine.

- Then it's false positive, because we never did any drugs.

Not even poppers?

She just said they didn't use drugs.

I ask because amyl nitrate

is often made available to heart patients.

Were you aware of Mr. Marsh's heart condition?

He had a little arrhythmia.

That's not a heart condition.

- Mr. Marsh had an advanced case of heart disease.

He said it wasn't serious.

Now, why would he lie to you about it?

I never know why men lie.

They just do.

- Would you describe yourself as a dominatrix?

Oh, back off of this, Bob.

A sadomasochist?

That's it.

Interview's over.

Let's go.

You wanna charge her?

Go ahead.

Otherwise, you can reach Miss Carlson through my office.

Fine.

But, frankly, I don't think that'll be necessary.

Reese.

Right.

Rebecca Carlson,

you're under arrest for the murder of Andrew Marsh.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you

in a court of law.

I'm not-- - Rebecca, I'll have you out

as fast as I can.

If you can't afford one,

one will be appointed to you by the State.

Frank!

- Trying to get your name on the front page?

You fucking sandbagged me!

Jesus, Frank!

Don't take it personal.

You're spending too much time around criminals.

It affects your judgment.

You don't have probable cause.

Sure, I do.

Marsh's will leaves all $8 million to your client,

which would've given even me motive,

and she admits to being there the night of the murder.

You don't know it was homicide.

And the method's self-explanatory.

What are you gonna do?

Tag the body as the murder weapon?

Exhibit A?

It's not a crime to be great lay.

- Well, sure, I'd have to have myself indicted.
