>> Of course. If he sells the building, we can all expect our rents to go up skyhigh.
Why don't you buy it yourself?
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Well, do you know what he's asking?
>> 11. Hana, I only have a shop. Just breaking even. Let me catch my breaths, will you?
>> Six. Well, I didn't mean necessarily alone. Maybe a limited partnership.
Elsa, >> who never does this mean you're going to let me play? I'm not too young.
>> Yeah.
>> This is a three.
>> I'm out.
>> All right, then. Get food disease. Hana, Marishia, Sophie, you're playing >> a couple of games that this old box will be full.
>> I wonder how much money we've given away after all these years.
>> $800 for every year we've been playing.
>> Play, ladies, play. For God's sake, please play.
>> Miracles at his former bistro gall.
>> Let's hope there is a dramatic and rapid return to the previous.
We also tried another place recently that we like much better. The name of this hidden treasure just is deer trails and the specialties of the house are traditionally continental with a clear eye to our growing preference to foods both fresh and clean. Meet owner Walter Gman.
>> Hello George.
>> Yes, >> Walter. Tell us what would you recommend for the ideal romantic tetat?
We might begin perhaps with a lobster salad. Ted, >> I'm sorry.
>> Asparagus.
>> What are you watching? What program is this?
>> Follow that with a >> lovely.
>> You want to look it up in the TV list, don't you?
>> This channel in the air of baby vegetables. And finally for the grand finale, chocolate fondue for two.
>> Well, there you have it. The air is fresh, the ambiance casual, and it is romantic in a way that is peculiarly Southern California.
I highly recommend you come here soon.
>> So, >> I know I can't hear. It is uh uh one crack six crack is a one dot >> uh south.
Uh m uh dragon poor crack. Oh, Elsa, could we have the ice bucket over here like a sweetheart?
>> Oh, me too. Elsa, is something wrong?
I just saw uh Wilhelm Gay on the television.
A movie about Berkano?
>> Not again. Why can't they just leave us alone?
>> No, it wasn't a movie.
>> What then?
>> It was a show called um LA Report on LA and uh they were reviewing some restaurant and there he was. He had something to to do with the restaurant. Vilhelm Gabbert in Los Angeles.
>> What restaurant?
>> I don't know. Uh, I did not hear the name.
>> And he was just standing there saying, "Hello, I'm Vilhelm Gabbert."
>> No, the interviewer called him Walter.
>> The Visa Burkadau is in Los Angeles called Walter. No, it was just somebody who looked like him, Elsa.
>> Yeah.
>> No, it was him. I saw him. And I know it was him.
>> Elsa, how long did you see him on TV?
>> A few seconds. Yes. 5 seconds. I don't know.
>> 5 seconds. Ladies, please. Shall we play?
>> No. Wait a minute. Elsa saw something.
What if it was him? She's right. What if it really is Gabbert right here in LA?
[sighs] >> Oh. So, what if it is? So what if it is this is a man who raped us or did terrible things to us. None of us have ever been able to have children because of the things this man did to us.
>> Maybe we should find out just to be sure.
>> What for?
>> It should be reported to the authorities. That should know, shouldn't they?
>> But know what, lady? That is that a man is living here under an assumed identity.
>> Elsa. Elsa. You saw Vil Helm Gabbert for the last time 30 years ago. If he is alive, he's not going to look the same.
This man has burned himself into our memories because of what he did to us. But it is a memory that is 30 years old by now. It's distorted and twisted and has nothing to do with the present.
Yeah.
>> Hello, >> Marisha.
>> I couldn't get it out of my mind seeing him. I mean, >> maybe Hana is right. I don't know, but I called the TV station and they told me the name of the restaurant is um Dear Trails. It's in Malibu.
Will you uh go out there with me tomorrow?
>> Yes, I will go with you.
>> Ah, good. Good. Goodbye.
Hello. Two for lunch.
>> Yes. Would you like to sit inside or outside?
>> Outside.
>> Outside. Follow.
Excuse me. Is Mr. Grossman here today?
>> Oh, I'm sorry. Mr. Grossman often doesn't come in until the dinner hour.
>> We saw him last night on the television.
>> Yes. I guess a lot of people saw that show.
>> Well, enjoy your lunch.
>> Buddy should What should we do now?
>> Eat lunch. long drive.
>> Something from the bar today?
>> Just some mineral water with a twist, please.
>> Okay.
>> I would like uh a glass of white wine.
Thank you.
>> White wine.
>> What is this?
>> He did.
Are you going to send it?
>> I don't know. I want to find out what happened to Gab, but I show this letter to Gil and um he doesn't want me to send it.
He's afraid that it will upset and depress me. But what I think is uh he is afraid that it will upset him.
I'll also send a letter to the Simon reason center. They'll know what happened to Gay. Don't you think?
>> Send it, Elsa. Then you'll know and you'll feel better.
>> I I owe Gil so much. You will understand it.
He's always wanted children so badly and his family never thought that I was good enough for him. Just some orphan plucked off the streets of Frankfurt and um damaged goods at that.
>> Oh, Elsa, it's been 25 years. Whatever debt you had to Gil, I think is paid now. Don't you think so?
>> Yes.
>> Yes, maybe. But lately things have not been the same between us.
>> You mean in bed?
>> Mineral water and white water. Enjoy.
>> Maybe these things change.
>> Maybe. But it was never good for you and stuff.
But that was different.
It wasn't him. It was me.
Such feelings of desire in me are long since dead, Elsa.
Maybe because of what happened back then in the camps.
Just terrible things.
>> You never found anyone else?
>> No. No. I I don't expect I have no such feelings. I understand you ladies were asking for me.
>> We saw you on the television last night.
>> Your place sounded so charming.
>> I hope we don't disappoint you. I'm a grossman.
Uh, Miss Marisha, I'm Elsa Swan.
>> Marishia. Elsa. Well, I'm glad that my brief moment on TV attracted such a delightful clientele.
Are you looking for a light lunch today or something a little more uh substantial?
>> Oh, avocado and shrimp?
>> Good. Shrimp are excellent today. Madame >> um the the goat cheese and wild mushroom omelette sounds good to me.
>> That's one of my favorites.
And to drink >> iced tea, I will have the same.
>> If you will allow me, I'd like to provide you another mineral water and a shabli. And I would count this meeting as a great success.
>> Well, thank you.
>> Pleasure is mine. Thank you.
I say it's him.
>> How can you say that? Gertrude.
If you hadn't been prepared to see Vilhelm Gabbert, would you honestly have seen him in that picture?
>> Yes. My god. Yes. I know that face. Look at the eyes.
>> [sighs] >> I don't know. Those are not the eyes I remember. Too soft.
>> But you were there. You saw him. What do you say?
>> I say yes.
Elsa says no.
>> Ah, now you say no.
>> I just don't know now.
Seeing him up so close like that, he just doesn't look as much like a gay as he did when I saw him on the television.
Of course he doesn't because that is not Wilhelm Gabbert.
>> Why is it so important to you that it not be him?
>> Because I think it is time for us to stop torturing ourselves about old memories and get on with life.
>> Well, it seems to me that we have just got to find out for sure. That's all.
>> Why can't we let sleeping dogs lie? What is the use?
>> How can you say that? But how can we find out for sure if it is him?
>> There is a way.
If we can see him with his shirt off, we can tell. Oh, >> the scar >> on his left shoulder.
>> No, no, it was his right shoulder.
>> Oh, Misha, that was his left.
>> Wait, wait, wait. I'm thinking. I'm thinking uh uh Misha's right. It was his right. Honor, what do you recall? Do you recall? Was it his right or his left?
Sugar.
>> The man was right-handed. He covered my mouth with his right hand when uh it was his right shoulder.
How can we find out?
>> I'll get him to take his shirt off.
>> How can you even think such a thing?
>> You have a better idea. Maybe I could invite him for a barbecue and push him in the pool by mistake.
>> Oh, no. No. It's If this is to be done, it must be private. No barbecues. No one must know.
>> This is crazy. Crazy.
>> You're telling me, huh? Five Jews sitting around playing a Chinese game that not even the Chinese understand.
>> It's a lot better than a dinner I made.
I can tell you that.
>> Four Jews and a Gentile.
>> Well, by birth maybe, but a Jew by osmosis [laughter] by >> Goodbye. Goodbye. Have a good time.
>> So, I will do it. There is no one in my life who can be hurt by this. Marishia, you are serious about this?
>> It shouldn't be too difficult. We all remember how much he loves the ladies.
Is Dr. Harrington here yet? Harrington for two. Yes.
No, Dr. Harrington hasn't arrived yet.
Oh.
>> Would you like to be seated or would you like to wait at the bar?
>> I will wait at the bar. Would you tell Dr. Harrington when he comes, please?
>> Certainly.
[music] Scotch and water, please.
>> Excuse me a moment.
>> Good evening.
>> Marishia, isn't it?
>> You have a very good memory.
>> I remember what's important to me.
I'm so pleased you've come back here again so soon. You approve?
>> My friend and I uh we wanted something a little private and I remembered your place.
>> Ah, you're waiting for someone. I see.
>> I'm a bit concerned because he's usually very prompt and I was 15 minutes late.
>> I'm certain he'll be here unless he's very foolish.
I think I will telephone him next.
>> Oh, wait. Please >> be my guest.
>> Thank you.
>> Excuse me, boy.
[music] >> Charlie, let me have two dry martinis with a twist.
This is La Boutique. We are open 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. You may leave a brief message after the beep.
>> Uh, is Dr. Harrington there, please.
>> Oh. Um, do you know is he going to Malibu?
Oh. Oh, I see.
Well, um, thank you very much.
>> Not bad news, I hope.
>> Oh, he was called to the hospital.
>> Oh, medical man. A doctor's life belongs to his patients, they say. Well, it's up to us to make certain that this trip of yours is not wasted. Will you be my guest for dinner, please? Oh, >> you're very kind.
I'll take full responsibility for the menu.
>> Can you enjoy?
>> Perhaps you could join me.
>> I don't see how you'll keep me away because this is my place.
>> Bottle of wine.
>> Bronze [music] Blanc de Blanc. Two glasses, please.
Beautiful evening.
>> You are not very far from the beach.
>> No. I thought >> let's go for a swim.
>> We're not that close.
>> But uh the beach would be very deserted.
>> The water's very cold this time of year.
Perhaps in the morning when the sun is shining.
>> You're doing that again.
>> What am I doing?
>> You're staring at me.
>> Oh, no. I was just trying to place the accent.
>> Cologne.
You You're not German, are you?
>> I'm Polish.
>> Danzi.
>> Gdansk.
>> Gdansk.
So >> were you in the war?
>> Oh yes, very much so.
If you consider being bombed by your own country, being in a war, my family fortunately was very well off and when the trouble began, we fled first to Belgium, then to England. I was educated there.
>> You are Jewish?
>> My father was Jewish.
you.
>> Me?
>> Forgive me. You were just a child. How could you remember the war?
>> Yes, I was young. I was very young.
It's all right. I don't want to know about it.
That's a lie. I want to know everything about you. I don't want to frighten you away. I just wish you could be here like this for a long, long time.
>> This man you were waiting for, he's very important to you.
>> Oh, you've been so kind. I feel I I feel you're entitled to know I'm married.
>> Yes, I know.
>> My husband is very much older than I and um our relationship is one of respect and companionship.
He's he's uh rather feeble. So you see the man men >> understand. I just want to know all this room for me in your life.
>> You've only just met me.
It doesn't feel that way, does it? Rean, I want to know you for a long, long time. I can't tell you how long it's been since I've felt this way. Don't you feel it, too? Surely what I sense I feel from you can't be entirely wrong.
[screaming] >> I feel it, too.
>> [music] [music] >> What is it? Are you all right?
Please, we don't have to talk, do we?
Marishia, what's the matter?
>> I've never been so happy.
>> What is that?
>> What a science. I keep him in the kitchen so he won't create mischief. You want to see him? [screaming] SL [screaming] I say hi. What's happening? Yes, it's my gallbladder doctor.
Doctor.
>> My father was a doctor. This was his bird.
>> They lived over 100, you know.
[screaming] behia.
Yeah.
And doctor [screaming] >> [music] >> Please.
[screaming] >> [music] >> Heat. Heat.
>> [music] >> Marishia, this is Walter. I was expecting you to call today. When you get this message, call me at the restaurant. I'll be there all evening. I miss you, Marishia.
This is Valter. Marishia, call me when you get this message. It's important that I talk to you.
Marishia, >> the letter from Yadashen came Saturday morning and the one from Whisenthal just before I called you.
Yashm can only record and Wizal doesn't take cases already adjudicated.
It would take entirely new evidence, new witnesses after all these years. Where would you find them?
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> So you see it's over.
There is nothing more we can do. Nothing is over for participation in 5,450 murders.
Four years imprisonment, 18 months served with triers. But such a nutshell, what does that mean? Loss of honor. The term is not explained.
>> The term is not explained.
It's nothing. Nothing. Marisha, right or wrong, in the eyes of the law, he has paid his debt to society.
>> What about his debt to me? To us, >> is he allowed to go on? Is there no finish to it?
>> I know. I know.
I know. My dear friend, please.
We must forget about this.
>> Forget about it.
Who is it?
>> It's Walter. Marishia, you let me in.
Walter, how did you find me?
Don't >> let me STAND OUT HERE YELLING for a door. Marisha, please let me open the door.
>> No. No.
This is not good. We cannot go on.
This is too too difficult. Marishia, at least give me the courtesy of talking to me about it.
Marishia, open the door.
I found you.
>> How did you find me?
>> First time you came to the deer trail with your friend. You used your business credit card.
I checked on the address. Here I am.
You have a vase.
>> Walter.
This is not possible. This cannot go on.
It has to end right now.
>> You said that. Yes.
>> To go on, it would just create a problem.
>> Something important happened the other night. It happened to you, too. Don't deny it. I felt we can't just throw that away.
>> Yes. But you see, I'm a married woman.
>> I don't want to hear this. We can conduct ourselves in such a way that no one need.
I know you hesitate because of your sense of duty. I know you want this much as I do. Entitled to a small measure of happiness. So am I. We don't want to hurt anyone. We won't.
I'm going to kiss your eyes.
Beautiful life.
I just I have the keys to the bathroom. I need to a moment to get ready.
Excuse me.
I will get it.
La boutique.
Oh, yes. I see. I will be right there.
>> I'm very sorry, but I must go. It was my husband. He's having an emphyma attack, and uh sometimes they can be very bad.
>> Does he have medication? Nebula?
>> Well, yes. Yes, of course. But he needs me. Please, I must go.
>> When will I see you again?
I will call you.
Ro saychech.
[singing] >> [singing] >> Iselu.
Can't do [singing] it.
>> [singing] >> Liz.
[singing] Thank you, Caner Harbin.
Welcome members and friends of the 38 Club.
Welcome.
Where were you?
>> He came to the show Gert.
On the 9th of November 1938, the streets of Germany and Austria resounded with a sound of breaking glass as windows of thousands and thousands of Jewish shops and synagogues were smashed, leaving behind them what has been described as rivers of broken glass.
Crystal, the night of broken glass.
the beginning of the horror.
But more than Jews were victims.
Millions of Catholics, Protestants, and gypsies followed us to the camps.
We witnessed countless murders and obscinities.
We are the survivors and our memory of Cristalln remains as sharp as the shards of breaking glass that blanketed the streets of that infamous night.
Now is another time, a better time.
But we remember and each year one of you's chosen to memorialize that event.
Sophie Langine.
>> Oh no.
>> Go on.
>> Nobody's going to get you. Come on.
>> I don't want to do that.
>> Please. Please.
Go. Go. Hello.
[music] Heat.
[music] >> [music] >> Never again.
Never again.
Never again. Never again.
Never again. Never again. Never again.
Never again.
>> NO. I SAY NO.
>> YEAH.
>> I FIGURED IT out that the generate served one day for every three murders.
One day.
>> I wonder how did he get into this country? Who was it that allowed him in?
>> We did. We allowed him in.
>> What difference does it make? There is nothing we can do. So, let's stop beating our heads against the wall.
>> There is something we can do.
>> Ladies, I don't think this merits any further discussion.
>> We can kill the bastard.
>> Of course, we'd all like to punish him somehow.
>> I didn't say punish him somehow.
I sit here.
>> All right. If nobody else is up for it, I will do it.
>> Gadget, there's no sense to talking.
>> Drop the subject. We don't have to discuss it anymore. I know what I have to do. That's all.
>> Faint man, I think we should call it a night. We're all playing miserably anyway. So next time when we have cooled off and have put this behind us, >> I don't think that we should uh leave just now.
>> Marishia, I don't think this kind of talk would do any good for any of us.
>> But I think Gertrude is serious and I don't think we should be leaving right now.
>> Gertrude is serious now. But eventually she will realize what something like this could do to her life, to Ted and your marriage.
>> It won't do anything.
I'll do it right.
>> You really mean it.
>> You bet your sweet life. I really mean it.
>> Well, I I don't think we can let you do that.
>> You can't stop me.
>> No, what I what I mean is we can't allow you to um take on all that by yourself.
If you are going to do it, then we should all Do it.
>> Sophie, what in God's name are you talking about?
>> Hana, be honest. We all want Gabbert dead.
Gertrude is just willing to do our job for us.
>> Our job? Since when it is our job to kill? To murder? That's Gay's job, not our sin. Let's see that he gets paid for his job. Good.
>> I say we do it the way they did it in the camp.
I say we draw lots.
That way they it will be our secret. No one will know who drew this vestifera and no single one of us will be responsible. We will all be responsible.
>> This is madness.
I'm leaving. I I cannot believe this. Do people realize what it is you are saying here?
>> There's no need for this. I I'm the best one for it. I'll do it. I don't know why you're making it so complicated.
>> No. So Sha's right. If this thing is to be done, we must all do it. Equal responsibility.
Elsa.
I don't.
>> Elsa, come with me. They will come to their senses on their own. Come with me.
>> Yeah, maybe you should go. You have much to lose. No, I will stay.
Sophie, I don't believe what I'm seeing.
What has gotten into you?
>> I don't think the law is always right.
And I I think this is a chance to put things right for a change. I I don't mind doing something like that.
Am I the only one then that hasn't gone crazy? Am I the only one that understands the monstrous thing you are talking about?
Well, if I saw it, you would really do it. I would call the police and tell them.
I really would.
It means and just notice and One thing, we must not speak of this again.
But it happens. If it happens, then we read it in the papers.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. And if the one who drew this vast changes [music] her mind and doesn't do it for some reason, then that will also be the end of it. Yeah. [music] We never mention it again. And that way uh no one is to blame and uh no one has to feel guilty. That that sounds fine to me.
Yeah, it's good. I'm not worried.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Who is it?
>> It's Marishia.
I knew you'd call.
Walter.
Darling, forgive me. I I tried to call you. We had a fire at the restaurant.
>> Oh, >> in the kitchen. Nothing serious, but I had to close up and send everyone home.
>> Are you all right?
>> Oh, just a little soil. I hope you haven't been waiting long. I tried to call you.
>> Anyway, you see, I could have very well bring back anything from the restaurant for dinner.
I'm so glad you're here.
Why don't we go to Malibu? Couple of nice places there for dinner.
>> Oh, couldn't we just stay here and eat something?
>> You must have something in the fridge.
>> Nothing.
>> Not a thing.
>> Some eggs.
>> I want to take you out. I want to show you off.
>> Oh, yes. I I know that. But um >> I don't like hiding it from the world.
>> I I understand but I don't think your husband >> growing way the story about the involent husband.
>> What do you mean story?
>> I called it home this evening twice before. Rang rang rang. No one answered.
Your husband's so sick he can't go out.
Why doesn't he answer it?
>> He he very often doesn't answer.
>> I told you he's he's very feeble.
>> So feeble. Why doesn't someone stay with him?
>> It's very difficult to explain to someone who's never cared for an older person that there are degrees, you see, >> degrees of feebleness.
>> You could say that.
>> Yeah. See, >> why you lying to me?
>> I am not lying to you.
>> All right. When you first came out to the deer trails with your woman friend, you were not wearing a wedding ring.
When I meet a beautiful woman, I check things like that.
And yet you were wearing the ring the night you were to meet your gentleman friend, Dr. Harrington. I find this odd.
It's the opposite that you would expect from an intelligent woman, anxious to avoid compromising herself in public.
>> I am not so expert in these things.
It's not my everyday behavior.
>> That's right.
I'm sorry. Okay.
>> Hey, what's in here? H >> It's for the shop.
>> I have been robbed once. I have license for it. I I was robbed once.
>> Yeah, I'm sure.
>> What you expect to do with this little thing?
This is what you need here.
This is yours.
765 mm. That is, if you're really interested in protecting yourself, it's reasonable that this will stop someone with the first shot. Light enough for the purse.
That's ready.
You know how to use uh this weapon?
>> They're all the same. No.
>> Is it spin it the same as a grand piano?
Safety off.
That's ready.
Why don't you fire?
Go ahead.
Now's your chance.
That's what you came here for, isn't it?
>> That's why I came here.
>> To kill me. to kill you.
>> Murderer.
>> Well, go ahead then, >> but >> go ahead.
Do >> that one. Make me as bad as you >> because you're a coward.
>> MURDERER.
YOU >> ARE MY GIRLS. WERE you Which one? Tell me. I remember all of you.
[screaming] Look, you wouldn't be alive today if it weren't for me. If I had to do it again, I would do exactly the same. This time I would be more thorough, less a poor of my own foolish compassion.
>> [screaming] >> What?
Hallelujah.
>> [music] >> push but just let you go.
futures.
>> Can you be a little late at class?
>> Oh, please. I'm already a little late.
>> Oh, you got me all interested this morning. And then off to the shower.
>> It was 8:30. I thought it was 7:30.
>> Your fault.
>> Oh, yeah. Well, I'm not that good anyway.
>> I'll be the judge of that.
>> Who you comparing me to?
>> No one. Oh, I've had a few others, but uh you're the best.
>> You got me, didn't you? I sure did. And I am sorry, but I must tear myself away because I have a meeting at 4:00 and I'll be back at 6.
>> Okay. Okay, breakfast. Will, you go to school?
>> Leave me here all by myself.
>> Will continue on Pacific Coast Highway for several more days. Residents are requested to take alternate routes where possible and to allow ample time for delays. And now for an update on the killing of restaurant tour Walter Gman, who was found shot in his Malibu home a few days ago. With no apparent motive, police are now speculating that a love quarrel may have been the blame. The investigation of course will continue.
We'll be right back after these messages.
>> My god.
>> It's done. We did it. It's over with.
And that's that.
Elsa, you are expecting someone's away, isn't he?
Good evening, Stella. They in there.
>> Good evening, Hana.
>> We weren't really expecting to see you again.
>> Why not? It's Wednesday night. You want to play?
>> Yes.
When I saw Saturday's papers, I thought, "My god, they've gone and done it. They have really gone and done it. Please forgive me. I should have known my friends better.
>> What are you saying?
>> Well, now that I know you had nothing to do with Gabbert's death, I feel like a complete idiot.
>> What are you talking about?
>> Well, it's probably on the news by now.
I heard about it at the courthouse this afternoon. They have picked up the man who killed Gabbert.
The police theory is that he broke into Gabbert's house and apparently the killing occurred when Gabbot confronted him after which he had an accident in his car. Pretty bad one. And when the sheriff arrived, this man claimed that he'd lost his memory even though they found a map in his car with Gabbert's neighborhood circled and marked WG. So, do they know who this person is?
>> Martin Rener. Name ring a bell?
>> No, I never heard that name before.
>> Name's probably fake. His driver's license was >> Why uh did it take them so long to come forward with this man?
>> They found Gabbert's body a day later. I guess they just didn't put it all together until now.
>> Ladies, it's that time again.
>> What do you mean, Gert?
We have to find out if this Rener could have done our job for us. How are you doing that? What are you talking about?
Well, >> that night at Marishia's house, we agreed to do it. As far as I know, we did do it.
>> If you didn't do it, write a zero. If you did do it, write an X.
>> Anybody need a pencil?
>> Uh, yes, I do. I can't believe this man did it. My friends are not murderers. My god, how long have we known each other?
It's silly.
>> Yeah. You look at them, >> Gertwood. They have the killer. Look at them.
Zero Zero Zero X What are we going to do about this?
>> Yes, we have to do something.
>> What is there to do? Who is this man?
>> What difference does it make? He's innocent.
>> We can't just stand by and watch an innocent man go to prison or words.
>> Wait a minute. Wait.
>> No.
>> We don't know what kind of case the DA's office has against him. So, it may never go to trial. We must wait and see what happens at the preliminary hearing.
Wait, >> Hannah?
I thought you were going to call the police.
>> How can I? I don't know which one of you did it.
>> If the defendant's amnesia prevents him from remembering that he killed Walter Gman, then it also prevents him from remembering that he didn't kill Walter Gman. And the evidence presented here today clearly indicates that he's guilty.
That's all I have.
>> Mr. Rena, I'm ordering you to be bound over to the superior court 8 weeks from today without bail. Next case, I have an idea of what we can do if anybody's interested.
>> Sure.
>> Whoever killed him will write a confession.
>> Oh no.
>> Confession.
>> Wait a minute. Please, please hear me out.
>> The killing, how it was done, everything will be outlined in detail. Then copies of the confession will be mailed to all of us, including the writer herself. We will then all memorize it. We will all five of us know down to the tiniest detail how Wilhelm Gabbert was killed.
>> Five?
>> What you said? Five?
>> Yeah.
>> You said all five of us will know.
>> Does that mean that you When I read the paper and realized he had been murdered, the lawyer in me was appalled.
But a little girl, shivering in a white room in Ver Canal prison camp, wept tears of joy knowing Bill Held Gay had been killed.
Yeah.
[snorts] Shall I go on? We We must. Um, after we have all memorized every detail of the killing, we will then meet again. Make sure the confessions are exactly the same.
She went to bed with him.
>> No. Oh, God. No, Sophie. You went to bed with him. I went to bed with him. We have to start thinking about it that way. Everything in this letter, we all did it. All of it.
For I knew that Grossman was Gabbert.
Contact with him touched off feelings of desire that I had assumed were long since dead, which I came to realize gave me a sexual power over him, a power which I employed by refusing his requests for another asignation until the night I went to his house in Malibu to kill him.
Feelings of desire that I had assumed for long since dead.
>> So everyone has memorized it. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Okay.
The now his poetic order.
Now is the time we go public.
This is when your husbands will have to know. It will be difficult.
We should tell them together. We We did it together and we should tell them together.
>> Katherine.
Oh yeah. I was just thinking about Teddy.
I will take it.
Well, he'll be fine.
>> Will they understand? Uh, do you think I wondered it would be easier together?
>> Yeah, but um uh who will begin?
I mean, who will tell about sleeping with him? So, >> I will Elsa. I'll start.
>> No, Hana, you can't. You must stay out of this. You are a lawyer and she will have to help us >> even with our husbands.
>> Yes, I think so.
>> Maicius, right, Sophie?
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> All right. All right.
I will help you explain it to him.
>> Oh, yeah.
We'll do it.
We have to tell you the real story of what happened to Wilham Gabbert.
You have seen in the news that he was murdered by a man named Rena who was trying to break into his house. We know this is not true. The reason we know is because we that is Elsa, Sophie, Marishia, and Gertrude murdered Villham Gabbert.
>> What?
>> Please listen.
>> I conspired with my friends here, but I did not actually participate. I will assist in defending them in court.
>> What court? What are you talking about, Max?
So, uh, what happens now?
>> I'm not sure.
>> You go to the police.
>> Yes. I will give them my confession and u and they will let Rener go.
>> Your confession?
Never in a million years would I guess this could happen.
And the others they'll go to.
I'm not going to ask you if you did it.
If you were the one who killed him, he was human garbage. Remember that.
When people tell you differently, don't listen.
Garbage.
You got guts, Sophie.
You got guts.
>> Teddy. Teddy, don't shut me out. Please, Teddy, open the door. Please talk to me.
Just tell me that you didn't do it. You all confessed. You didn't all sleep with him.
>> I had to sleep with him, Daddy. It was THE ONLY WAY I COULD DO IT.
>> You could have found another way.
>> The man is dead. I executed Dr. Philhelm gave birth, the beast of Burger. That's what's important.
>> No, it's how you did it. That's what's important. YOU'RE A [ __ ] EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER WANTED IN YOUR LIFE, YOU'VE USED YOUR BODY TO GET, INCLUDING ME.
>> OH, YEAH. I don't remember any complaints until now. You were a bookworm when I met you, Teddy.
sputtering around with your dissidation.
And now look at you. You're an associate professor. Why? Because I made you, Teddy. This [ __ ] made you.
>> That's enough.
>> Where are you going? You know this.
>> Yes. For now.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS, TEDDY. You have no courage. I'm too MUCH WOMAN FOR YOU. I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. GO. Go on. GET OUT.
GET OUT. I DON'T NEED YOU. AND DON'T BOTHER TO COME BACK.
>> DADDY.
>> OH, TEDDY.
>> You expect me to believe this? The Walter Grossman really was Vilhelm Gabbert and you lured him into bed and killed him. It >> is true.
>> No, Ellie, it is not true.
Maybe one of you killed him. Maybe. But it wasn't you.
>> I killed him. He deserved to die.
>> The police have the man who killed him.
>> He's the wrong man. I cannot let him suffer for what we did.
>> But it's all right if I suffer. Is that it?
>> Yes, you will suffer. And I will suffer.
We will all have to pay for this. But Wilhelm Gabbert is dead. He deserved to die. and we killed him. That's all.
>> Thank you, Lucy.
>> Do you want to check this over? If it's all right, Son.
>> Oh. Um, it was 8:35 when I arrived at Gayart's house, not 8:45.
>> Well, that's not really substantive. We can change that. Is that all? Um, >> yes, that that seems to be all.
>> Yeah, thank you.
>> You know, I keep asking myself, why are you doing this?
>> You don't believe me?
>> Oh, no, no, sure. I believe you. You have one of the best motives I've ever come across. And you mentioned his washing. Police report mentioned there was still a strong scent of soap on Gibbart's hands and face. Yes. Um, Sandalwood.
>> So, you said.
Well, we can check that out, too. Mrs. Langbine, I want you to know that I have a job to do here, and I take that job very seriously. And one of the rules I work under is that murder is the ultimate crime, no matter who the victim is. Yes.
So maybe on a a personal level I should have sympathy with you, but on a professional level I still have my job to do.
You understand what I'm saying?
>> I don't expect any special treatment, Mr. uh Ferraro.
>> Good. You're not going to get it. I can't afford it.
Now, have you ever been in jail before?
Sorry, that was a stupid question. Well, I'm afraid you're going to have to go to jail again.
>> I'll let you know if I find out anything new.
>> Sanders, will you find a cell for Mrs. Langland, please?
I'm going now.
>> If you do this, if you walk into that police station and tell the world you murdered Wilhelm Gabbert, it'll destroy our lives. Ellie, have you said that Sophie went?
>> Yes. And I cannot let her be in the jail alone. I cannot.
>> When the media gets a hold of this, it'll destroy my business. Don't you care about that?
>> Oh, yes. But this is something that I have to do. I have to >> everything. Everything that I have worked for for us, it'll all be gone.
Oh, I can't believe this is happening.
Why didn't you say something to me? I could have helped. You've always come to me before with everything. But there's no You chose to ignore me. And Ellie, can't you understand? This could DESTROY MY LIFE, MY BUSINESS.
>> I'm doing this for me.
I do this for me. My friends are counting on me.
I love you, but I have to do this.
Who are you?
I don't even know you anymore. You're not my Maybe.
Maybe.
I think I am not the same girl that you brought home from Germany 25 years ago, but I still love you.
>> Then don't do this.
>> What can I do?
What can I do to make you understand?
What?
>> I'm begging you, Ellie. Don't do it.
I have to go.
I have to go.
I won't be here.
If you come back, I won't be here.
I killed Wilhelm Gay.
>> What about your friend Sophie Langine?
>> I killed him.
>> Well, somebody killed him, that's for sure. But I'd like to know why I have two confessions.
Is uh there something that I can sign?
>> Mrs. Spawn, why don't we save the taxpayers's time and money? Okay.
>> What are you doing here?
>> I killed him and I am here to give you my confession.
>> Excuse me. Excuse me.
I'm Gertude Simon and I would like to see Mr. Ferraro, please.
>> He's busy right now. What's this about?
>> I have information he'll want about the Vilhelm Gabbert murder.
>> You believe me, don't you?
>> Believe you.
I believe you had something to do with it. Along with your friends, Mrs. Spawn and Mrs. Langbine, I got confessions coming in here every 15 minutes.
I believe you.
>> Then you let Renegot.
>> Oh, sure. We got plenty of killers.
>> Lady, I'm holding you and both your friends on a conspiracy charge until I find out what the hell is going on around here.
Okay, runner, let's go. Your lucky day.
Come on.
FREE.
>> The accused will arise.
Sophie Langbine, Elsa Span, Gertrude Simon.
I'm ordering you to be bound over to the Superior Court on the 18th of this month on a charge of conspiracy to commit murder section 182 of the state penal code.
>> Court is adjourned. Please rise.
>> Let's go, ladies. Ma'am, please.
>> Let's go, ladies. Be all right. Please.
Mr. Ferraro.
>> Yes.
>> I'm the one you're really looking for.
My friends are innocent. I'm the one who really killed William Gibbs.
>> Come on.
Sid polygraph report.
>> And what it boils down to is they're all telling the truth. They're all lying.
>> Take your pick.
>> This is turning into a circus. Have you read this?
>> I don't read the papers.
>> Yeah. Well, I do. And so does the police commissioner, the ACLU, and everybody else. And we look like a bunch of incompetent bozos persecuting four harmless ladies who struck a blow for humanity.
>> What are you saying?
Sid, face it. No jury on earth's going to convict him.
>> What the jury does is their business. My business is building a case.
>> Yeah.
>> Mr. Ferraro.
>> He's here. You?
>> Yeah.
>> Mr. Ferraro.
>> Yes.
>> This is Hana Epstein. I'm an attorney. I think we may have met.
>> Uhhuh.
>> I'm here at the 38 Club on Wilshire Boulevard. Do you know where that is?
>> Yes, I do.
Well, I think it would be worth your while to stop by here within the next hour or so. The four women you have in custody for the Gabbert killing are members here.
>> Is that so?
>> Yes, that's right.
>> And um I have some information that may be useful to you.
Excuse me.
>> Oh, Mr. Ferraro. Miss Epstein.
>> No, she's at the auditorium. Please come with me.
Mr. Ferraro.
>> Miss Epstein.
>> Yes. I'm glad you could come. Ladies, this is Mr. Ferraro. He is the assistant district attorney who is prosecuting the case against Sophie, Elsa, Marishia, and Ghuch. And I'm sure he can use our help in determining who actually killed Villham Gabbert.
Ladies, who did kill Gabbert?
I don't care if there are 600 of them.
I'll investigate them all. One of them is a killer.
>> But which one? Huh? Huh? You'll never find out. You know why? Because they all killed Gabri. All of them TOGETHER AS ONE. HOW MANY people are you prepared to prosecute?
>> As many as I have to.
>> Oh, come on, Sid. What's bothering you?
that the ladies got the better of you.
>> We can't let them go. A murder has been committed here.
>> Of course, we can't let them go. We can release them for lack of evidence while WE CONTINUE THE INVEST. I' I'VE GOT FOUR SIGNED CONFESSIONS HERE.
>> CORRECTION, my friend. 154.
>> Is that what you want?
>> That's what I want. That's an order.
>> Yeah. And if you don't do it, I'll do it myself.
[applause] >> [applause] [applause] >> Come with me. Come here.
[cheering] Miss me.
Love me.
You really had me worried.
>> He'll uh he'll call then he's going to be away for a while and uh and he he wants the best for you. He says you should uh you should stay in the house until it's sold. Uh I'm sorry.
And what do you plan to do now, Mrs. Wanka?
>> What do I plan to do now?
>> Forget.
Forget >> Sophie. It's your turn.
I don't know. Uh, >> I have nothing.
Ah, I'm out.
This is our fourth game without a Maran.
Let's take a break.
Are you okay?
>> Yes, I think so.
I just signed up for um two classes at UCLA.
>> Poetry?
>> No. Uh philosophy of law, an introduction to legal ethics.
>> It's uh you may wind up in law school, >> maybe. Oh, no.
>> Girls, I'm tired. I'm going to go home. Sorry.
>> Good.
It's over, isn't it? Just isn't the same anymore.
>> That's it then after all these years.
>> Who's that? I have no idea.
>> Sister Ferrero has come to pay us a visit.
That's not exactly a social call.
>> Well, then perhaps I should be asking you for a search warrant.
>> No, no, no. They're just some things I want to show you. Things that were sent to me.
>> May I come in?
>> Yes.
>> Please do.
>> What is it?
I think this belongs to one of you ladies here.
I also have a tape that I want you to listen to.
Came in the same package.
It's from Martin Rener sent it to me, but I think it's really for you.
My real name is not Martin Rener. I am far away now and you will never find me.
I'm sending this tape because I want to ease the minds of the women who saved my life. It's the least I can do. Our lives have been inextricably linked. Through you, I have fulfilled my life and I am eternally grateful.
My story starts when I was 8 years old.
My parents were in the German underground. I am not Jewish, but I saw my father murdered and my mother raped before my eyes by Wilhelm Gibbart.
It was my life's work to find him.
One day I am inquiring about Gibbart in the Simon Visenthal Center in Vienna when your letter about him arrived. So finally I find him in Los Angeles.
I had already parked my car and had broken into Gabbert's house on the night you arrived, Mrs. Valanka.
Then Gabbert came. I concealed myself, hid out on the terrace. I was witness to the whole scene. I saw you lose the courage to shoot him. I saw him discover your gun and throw it away. I saw him give you his gun, pretend to instruct you, and then reveal himself.
I saw you struggle for the gun. I saw Gart fall.
I saw you smother him and leave, stopping just long enough to get your gun from the bushes.
When I came close to him, he started to move.
I realized he wasn't dead.
So, I finished the job.
I picked up the same pillow you had used and smothered him till he was gone.
The rest, you know, One thing uh before I go. As far as I'm concerned, you planned it and you're all guilty.
Tend to murder. Murder.
It's all the same to me.
Good night, ladies.
You don't have to live with it anymore.
I just wish that I hadn't heard about it like that.
Up until now, it has been like a kind of dream, a dream of our own making.
But just now hearing Raina describe it like that all at once that I realize that we killed a man. [sighs] >> Not a man of a thing. A beast.
>> He's not dead.
Look at that.
He has scarred us forever for what he did to us and then for what we did to him.
What's this one?
Sophie, where are you going? Oh, I I just thought I would go to their temple. Oh, can I come with you?
>> Arisha, you are Catholic. I don't think God will mine.
>> What about the game?
>> I think the game is over.
Heat. Heat.
