00:00Our field reporter, Ann, is coming to us live from the scene. What can you tell us about this?
00:05We are live outside the Pacific View Motel in Santa Barbara, where stuntwoman Paula McCarthy, just hours ago, was found beaten to death in her room.
00:14What we can tell you at this point is that shortly after the body was discovered, Ms. McCarthy's husband, Barry McCarthy, returned to the motel,
00:23and he has been undergoing police questioning since that time.
00:27They're coming out now. Let's see if we can get a statement.
00:30Excuse me. Officer, are you arresting Mr. McCarthy?
00:35You're arresting him for murder.
00:37No comment.
00:38Mr. McCarthy, is there anything that you'd like to say?
00:41When's the last time you saw your wife alive?
00:45Mr. McCarthy.
00:46Mr. McCarthy.
00:47No.
00:47Yes, give me Debbie Gardner, please.
01:11Could you please tell Ms. Garner to return one of my phone calls sometime today?
01:17It's Dr. Eric Spindler calling from Los Angeles.
01:21I've left my number several times already.
01:23Oh, we're in the ER.
01:25Oh, we're in the ER.
01:29We are.
01:29What do you want?
01:35Trauma to me.
01:35Right.
01:40Drugs is over really.
01:42Just leave the IV at the top of it.
01:45Death wall.
01:47On my count.
01:48One, two, three.
01:51You guys, you guys take me if I'm here.
01:53Right.
01:54What IV is running?
01:55IV is running.
01:56All right, so it's my 8-year-old male.
02:02B.P.'s 90 over 60.
02:04Respirations are 8.
02:06Depressed skull fracture.
02:07Okay, where?
02:08Parietal occipal region.
02:10Jeez, he's swelling up like a balloon.
02:12Let's get him upstairs.
02:14I'll call the OR.
02:16Who's on call?
02:18David's operating a car for shot.
02:21Is he conscious?
02:22Yeah, I don't know.
02:23He's bleeding out of the ear.
02:24Do an MRI, Jesse.
02:26There's no time.
02:27Let's get him out of here.
02:28No.
02:29What do you mean, no?
02:29Take a look at that X-ray.
02:31How much fluid do you need to see?
02:32If we don't release the pressure inside his cranium,
02:34he will suffer severe brain damage.
02:37You're risking that by going in
02:38and not knowing where the full insult to the brain is.
02:41Just do an MRI.
02:43No.
02:44Let's intubate him and get him to the OR.
02:46I will not let you cut him open.
02:48No, it's not your call to make, Eric.
02:51Chris, Matt, please, get Dr. Spiller away from my patient.
02:54Now, I said, get him out of here.
02:57You're making a mistake.
02:59Don't do it.
03:04Let's go.
03:05Let's go.
04:17You look wiped out.
04:23I heard Travis' patient is partially paralyzed.
04:28It wasn't Jesse's fault.
04:30He should have done those tests.
04:32He never should have cut them open.
04:33He had no business doing what he did.
04:35I was there, Eric.
04:36I assisted.
04:38Jesse had to open them up to relieve the cranial pressure.
04:42It was the right thing to do.
04:44Yeah.
04:48I didn't ask you to dinner to talk about Jesse.
04:53You and I, Dr. Spindler, are pregnant.
05:05You were using birth control.
05:08Well, at that time in the Pacific Ocean, I wasn't.
05:10Oh, man.
05:16Okay.
05:18I can get you through this.
05:21Actually, I do know somebody.
05:24You think I'm getting an abortion?
05:25Of course you're getting an abortion.
05:27No, I am not.
05:28What did you think I was going to do, Jerry?
05:30Marry you?
05:31No, but you don't have to act like that.
05:33Such a disgusting thought.
05:34Just give us a minute, will you?
05:36I know what this is about.
05:37This is about money, isn't it?
05:39That's why you got pregnant.
05:41Well, I got a newsflash for you.
05:43I am not supporting you or your child.
05:45I am not supporting you or your child.
06:13I am not supporting you or your child.
06:16I am not supporting you or your child.
06:17I am not supporting you or your child.
06:18I am not supporting you or your child.
06:19Hold on.
06:20Hold on.
06:29Hi.
06:29Are you Jesse Travis?
06:32Depends.
06:33Is that a bill?
06:35Hardly.
06:35Are you Jesse Travis?
06:37Yes, I'm Jesse Travis.
06:38It was nice chatting with you.
07:00Where in the world did you find my little leaf picture?
07:03I found them in the closet under my old manual typewriter.
07:08That's the game I remember.
07:10You hit a two-run homer and won for your team that day.
07:13Actually, I struck out three times and was hit by a pitch.
07:17That one?
07:17And I'm toast.
07:19Cooked.
07:20Done.
07:21You know what he's talking about?
07:23I think it means he's having a bad day.
07:25That's great.
07:26You guys go ahead and make some jokes, but my career might be over.
07:29You're being sued.
07:31You remember that accident victim I operated on in emergency last week?
07:35It's his family.
07:36Oh, boy.
07:38They're suing both Jesse and the hospital for medical malpractice.
07:42Well, why does his family think he did something wrong?
07:44Because Eric Spindler told him I did.
07:47Eric, what did he have to do with it?
07:48He's testifying against me.
07:50He's running around telling everybody that I screwed up.
07:53I can't believe that.
07:54You'll believe it.
07:54He's their chief witness.
07:55Mark, you've got to help me find a lawyer.
08:00Oh, you're going to need a good one.
08:02Hey, you're going to Atlanta this weekend for that convention.
08:05Maybe you could talk to that friend of yours.
08:06That guy.
08:07What's his name?
08:07He lives there.
08:08Well, who are you guys talking about?
08:10Please, Mark, my practice is at stake here.
08:12Jeff, I don't think he takes that kind of a case.
08:15Well, maybe you could just call him.
08:17Who are you talking about?
08:18Oh, he's very busy.
08:22I'm not even sure he remembers who I am.
08:24And I think he hates L.A.
08:25Mark, please, my career, my life is on the line here.
08:29Could you just call him?
08:31Well, I appreciate that.
09:01I sure hope you remember our deal.
09:06For every hot dog you eat, you promise to walk a mile.
09:16Oh, my Lord.
09:21Hold on to your cat, Freddy.
09:23Charlie, money seems to disappear when this man's around.
09:27Hello there.
09:28Still mad, eh?
09:29Have a reason not to be?
09:31How are you, Ben?
09:33Okay.
09:35Hungry?
09:37How much is this man's tab?
09:38$3.75.
09:39Don't think for a second.
09:43Oh, you can't carry a grudge, can't you?
09:48Why are you here?
09:50Ben, I need your help.
09:52No, I haven't even told you what it is yet.
09:55I know that way you can get an earlier flight back to Los Angeles.
09:59I'm going back Wednesday after the medical convention.
10:02Ben, I need you to defend a resident of the community general.
10:07I'm in charge of malpractice.
10:08No, busy.
10:10No, you're not too busy.
10:12I spoke to your daughter.
10:13She says your schedule's light.
10:16This can't be about the money, can it?
10:19I didn't make light.
10:20No, I'm not going to make light.
10:23Ben, when you were back at Harvard Law School, what if something had happened to jeopardize your whole future?
10:28Something you didn't do, wouldn't you reach out to someone with the power to help you?
10:36You flew all the way from Los Angeles to Atlanta, probably paid first class because you got plenty of cash, and that's the best pitch you can come up with?
10:49I thought you might want to sit up front with me in first class from my home.
10:56First class?
10:57Wrong trip.
10:58Dr. Travis made his decision on the basis of an x-ray.
11:07I felt it improper to perform surgery without the support of other tests.
11:11And you told this to the defendant before he went ahead and operated.
11:16That's correct.
11:18Without being able to pinpoint the exact location of the damage, Dr. Travis exposed his patient to severe risks.
11:26Your Honor, objection.
11:27Unless I'm misinformed, Dr. Spindler is not an expert in craniology.
11:34While his opinion's interesting, it seems pretty irrelevant.
11:39Overruled.
11:40Because Dr. Spindler witnessed the patient when he was admitted.
11:52He witnessed the patient's symptoms. He was nowhere near the operation.
11:54I said overruled.
11:58Excuse me a second, Your Honor.
12:01Why don't you explain to the judge that a medical resident is not an expert and therefore not qualified to give expert testimony?
12:07That's what I said.
12:08No, it isn't.
12:09Who's trying this case, Your Honor?
12:11Mr. Matlock or Dr. Sloan?
12:13I'm trying the case, jackass.
12:17Hey.
12:18Mr. Matlock, that kind of language doesn't fly in my courtroom.
12:22One more outburst and I'll cite you.
12:24I apologize, Your Honor, but I just don't understand why this man's allowed to testify.
12:30Well, I don't know how it works in Atlanta, Mr. Matlock, but here in California, when the judge says overruled, that means tough luck and sit down.
12:38Well, that's it.
12:51I hope you don't have any plans for tonight, Mr. Matlock, because you're going to a slumber party.
13:00Whoa.
13:01Stop pushing.
13:08Hey, Jerry.
13:20Wait up a second.
13:27I was just going to knock on Eric's door.
13:29I fixed my sprinkler head so it would stop squirting on his driveway.
13:35Are you all right?
13:36I hate him.
13:38Did you have a friend?
13:40He's out of control.
13:41I have to get out of here.
13:44What's the matter?
13:44What's the matter?
13:44What's the matter?
13:52What's the matter?
13:53What's the matter?
13:54What's the matter?
13:58I hate him.
13:59I hate him.
14:01Open the door, Eric!
14:31Eric!
14:36Eric!
15:01Eric!
15:06Look at me!
15:08I said look at me!
15:10Mark!
15:18Oh, my God!
15:47What were you thinking, Jerry?
15:52I wasn't thinking.
15:54I just snapped.
15:55I don't know.
15:57You said you broke up with him.
16:00Why'd you go back?
16:04He accused me of getting pregnant so that I could go after his money.
16:09Can you imagine that?
16:12But why did you go back to his house, Jerry?
16:16I didn't go back there to kill him, if that's what you're asking.
16:20You understand that that answer's gonna have a lot to do with what happens to you.
16:27After I left his house earlier today, I went home.
16:33I started drinking.
16:36You were drinking.
16:38Jerry, you're pregnant.
16:40You know better than that.
16:42I have never done anything like that before.
16:44I was so angry.
16:46And some point later, I just had to talk to him.
16:52So I called.
16:54I don't think I was on the phone for more than 30 seconds before he hung up on me.
16:59And then later on, when I went to his house, he was lying there on the couch, listening to music, so unconcerned about all this.
17:17I just lost it.
17:21Do you have a lawyer?
17:24No.
17:25Actually, there's a very good one in town.
17:30As a matter of fact, he's in the building as we speak.
17:36All right.
17:51Go away.
17:54Oh, come all the way down here to spend your last hour in jail with you, and this is the thanks I get.
17:59It's your fault.
18:01I'm not the one to call the judge a bonehead.
18:04I didn't call the judge a bonehead.
18:06I said there's a bonehead ruling.
18:11Thank you all, sir.
18:13I'm afraid we'll see you doesn't make a break for it.
18:16Mm.
18:19I should keep your patience in stitches.
18:24How you doing, Ben?
18:26This mattress is two inches thick.
18:29I chipped a tooth on something called cream chicken salad.
18:34And if you haven't noticed, there's steaks in here.
18:38Well, you got 40 minutes left.
18:43Thank God.
18:48Ben, I got another little favor to ask you.
18:52Oh, come on.
18:53A nurse at the hospital has been accused of murder.
18:58What?
18:59What is it with your hospital?
19:01Do you have to be a criminal to get a job there?
19:06There is a little ironic twist of this case.
19:09The guy that was murdered was the resident who was testifying against Jesse.
19:13That's been the fella.
19:14Get out of it.
19:15Now.
19:16So, Ben?
19:17No, I've got a case.
19:18Hey, look how long can it take you?
19:19I mean, she pleading guilty.
19:20It's a crime of passion.
19:21Huh?
19:22It was a snap.
19:23That's when I hit Eric over the head with a lamp.
19:24Well, the good news is, it's not the case.
19:25It's not the case.
19:26It's not the case.
19:27It's not the case.
19:28It's not the case.
19:29It's not the case.
19:30It's not the case.
19:31It's not the case.
19:32It's not the case.
19:33It's not the case.
19:34It's not the case.
19:35It's not the case.
19:36It's not the case.
19:37It's not the case.
19:38It's not the case.
19:39It's not the case.
19:40It's a snap.
19:41That's when I hit Eric over the head with a lamp.
19:42Well, the good news is, if there is any, you won't be charged with murder, or most
19:47at least, masslaughter.
19:49No, I won't.
19:50You're not going to believe this, but it's my job to tell you you are free to go.
19:57Free to go where?
19:59she pleases. The charges have been dropped. How can it be, Steve? I killed Eric. Apparently
20:06you didn't. Eric Spindler's toxicology report just came in. He was killed by an obscure
20:13poison called monocane. When you hit him, he was already dead. She's not going to be
20:27short of anything. They might get it for defacing a corpse. That'd be about it. This guy needs to quit smoking. You'd think in this day and time that could get a clearer picture. That looks like a baseball glove. Yeah. Yeah, it kind of does. What happened to the Bell
20:51practice suit against Jesse? Eric Spindler was the big witness against him. Well, I imagine it'd be dropped. Without this Spindler, if all of the case doesn't have much weight.
21:01Well, I believe we'll call the airlines. Maybe I can get a flight to Atlanta at night. What's your big hurry? I want to go home. It'd be nice to make a little money for a change.
21:11Well, we haven't had a chance to spend every time together. I'll try and find a way to get over that.
21:18All right. You've got to at least let me give you a physical while you're here.
21:22Oh, so nice. On the house? Yeah. Get your shirt off. We'll start out with a chest x-ray.
21:31You better not find anything wrong.
21:40You ready to see me, Phil? Yeah. Come in.
21:43Steve, we have to change gears in the Spindler case now that we know he was poisoned.
21:53Look, I wanted to talk to you about that. I heard you signed it to Rogers. Now, I have no problem staying on the case.
21:59Actually, I have a problem with it.
22:01You have a problem with me staying on the Spindler case?
22:04We needed to re-examine who else might have had a motive to kill Spindler, and someone pretty much jumped out.
22:12It's Jesse Travis.
22:14Jesse Travis?
22:18Oh, come on, Phil. You've got to be kidding.
22:21Jesse's one of the most non-violent, least vindictive people I know.
22:25He also could have lost his license had Eric Spindler lived to testify against him in a malpractice action.
22:31Look, Phil, you've got to listen to me on this one.
22:34There isn't even a remote chance that Jesse had anything to do with Eric Spindler's death.
22:41You know the bottle of wine we took from Spindler's house?
22:45It had monocaine in it.
22:47I know that.
22:49It also had Dr. Travis's fingerprints all over it.
22:52Plus, we found traces of monocaine on the porcelain around the sink of Dr. Travis's bathroom.
23:01It's a rare poison, Steve.
23:08I figured you'd want to be the one to bring them in.
23:12Then I want you off the case.
23:13Now, before I go, I wanted to show you this coloring book that someone gave me.
23:26See, all these wonderful pictures in here.
23:27But, you know, as a doctor, I don't have much time to do coloring.
23:31So, maybe one of you can help me.
23:33What's your name?
23:34Harmony.
23:35Harmony. What a pretty name.
23:36Maybe you can just give it a little tap there and then get some coloring done.
23:39Maya, you might have hit a little too hard there.
23:42See, she kind of made them all disappear.
23:45Maybe you can help me.
23:48What's your name?
23:49Kelsey.
23:49Kelsey. Maybe you gave it a little soft tap.
23:52Oh, gentle and nice.
23:53And I think that everything worked out nicely there, huh?
23:59Thank you, Bill.
24:00You're so nice.
24:01Hey, look at this.
24:03The grand magician of all, Dr. Sloan.
24:05And if we're nice enough, maybe we can get him to do a little trick, huh?
24:11Thank you very much, Jesse.
24:13Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to show you a little piece of prestidigitation
24:16involving this little lavender fluff.
24:20I'm going to poke it into my fist.
24:22And I'll tell you in advance, I'm going to make it disappear into thin air.
24:26We simply shove it into the fist there until it's as tiny as we can get it.
24:32Now, would you blow on that, please?
24:37And poof.
24:42Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
24:47Jesse, can I speak to you outside again?
24:49Yeah, sure.
24:50Okay, everyone back to bed.
24:52Get a little rest.
24:52And if we're nice enough, maybe Dr. Sloan will do another trick tomorrow.
24:56In the bed.
24:57Be good.
24:57In the bed.
25:00Sorry, Jesse.
25:01Let's take a walk, yes.
25:13Mark, it's insane.
25:15I know it.
25:17Amanda, I want you to do something for me.
25:20Hey, uh, Steve.
25:23What's going on?
25:24I can't believe I'm doing this, Jess, but I have to read you your rights.
25:31What?
25:32Diagnosis murder rolling your way on PAX TV.
25:41Hi.
26:02Hi.
26:03Hi.
26:04Oh, can I help you?
26:09I can't believe it.
26:10It's really you.
26:12Oh, well, you know.
26:14I'm Amanda Livingston, and I work with Mark Sloan, and I was so afraid I'd miss meeting you.
26:19I'm a huge fan of yours.
26:20I'm afraid I think.
26:22I'm not taking Jesse's case.
26:25Oh, well.
26:27Well, was I that transparent?
26:31Yeah.
26:32Well, I practiced the whole way over here, too.
26:35Well, I know a couple of good lawyers here in Los Angeles, and they'll do fine.
26:40Well, don't just throw your stuff in the suitcase.
26:42There, they're going to get all wrinkled.
26:44Look at me.
26:44Take care of that.
26:46So, where'd you meet Mark?
26:48Oh, I just met him one time.
26:51You're putting my socks in my shoes.
26:56Yeah, I saved space.
26:58In college?
26:59No.
27:01Where?
27:02Well, I was just starting out in law, and I had a case here in Los Angeles, and I ate a
27:09piece of bad fish, and Mark was the resident in charge of the emergency room, so...
27:15And that's it?
27:17Yeah.
27:18Well, whenever your name comes up, you act so weird.
27:21None of us can figure out why.
27:24You didn't say anything to you?
27:27About what?
27:29We don't call him Taxi.
27:31My plane meet for a little over an hour.
27:34You know, I wasn't kidding when I said I was a huge fan of yours.
27:37Now, I followed a case of yours years ago.
27:40It was about a magician's assistant who was murdered.
27:44Yeah, and you convinced the judge to move the jury to Magic Mansion so that you could go
27:49on stage and act out how the murderer committed the crime.
27:53Yeah.
27:55Any of your L.A. lawyer friends do something like that?
28:00Jesse needs you.
28:01I'm not above begging.
28:12Bail is denied.
28:13Defendant will be remanded into custody until trial, which will commence on March 4th at 9.30.
28:21This court is dismissed.
28:23All right.
28:24I'm not going to jail.
28:27I'm going to jail.
28:28Jesse, I warned you this would probably happen.
28:31Bail's almost always denied this to the murder of a child.
28:34That's why we got him.
28:35Let's go.
28:36I can't go to jail.
28:38Jesse, don't worry.
28:39We'll take care of everything.
28:41Don't worry.
28:41You guys got to get me out.
28:43Hey.
28:44Hey.
28:44Hey.
28:45Hey.
28:45Hey.
28:47Hey.
28:47Hey.
28:47Hey.
28:48Hey.
28:48Hey.
28:49Hey.
28:49Hey.
28:50Hey.
28:50Hey.
28:51Hey.
28:51Hey.
28:52Hey.
28:52Hey.
28:53Hey.
28:53Hey.
28:54Hey.
28:54Hey.
29:11Hey.
29:12I thought Captain Brian took you off this case.
29:15He did.
29:16I'm just, uh, spending the day with my father, who also happens to be a police consultant.
29:22A police consultant?
29:23Oh, I told you.
29:26A doctor, a lawyer, and a police consultant.
29:30Boy.
29:31Amanda.
29:32What?
29:33I knew you guys were here.
29:34I thought I looked through the window.
29:36I thought I looked through the window.
29:37I didn't go in.
29:38I thought I looked through the window.
29:39I didn't go in.
29:40According to Jerry, this is where Eric Spindler's body was lying when she hit him with the lamp.
29:41I thought I looked through the window.
29:42I didn't go in.
29:43I thought I looked through the window.
29:45I didn't go in.
29:47I thought I looked through the window.
29:48I didn't go in.
29:49I thought I looked through the window.
29:50I didn't go in.
29:52I thought I looked through the window.
29:53I thought I looked through the window.
29:54I didn't go in.
29:55Amanda.
29:56What?
29:57I thought I looked through the window.
29:58I thought I looked through the window.
29:59I didn't go in.
30:00I thought I looked through the window.
30:01I didn't go in.
30:05According to Jerry, this is where Eric Spindler's body was lying when she hit him with the lamp.
30:17These ear folds are broken.
30:19Why do you suppose Eric would be using ear folds if it didn't work?
30:23Maybe Jerry broke them when she threw the lamp at him.
30:26I can't tell you what an honor it is to be working side by side with one of the greatest lethal minds in this country.
30:36Thanks.
30:40You already took the case, remember?
30:42No, I was just cementing the deal.
30:45You guys come here and take a look at this.
30:56It's mud.
30:57Fresh mud.
30:58Well, do you think someone's been here since the murder?
31:02Actually, I was wondering if they were here now.
31:05Oh.
31:06Let's go.
31:08All right.
31:09Let's go.
31:11Let's go.
31:12Let's go.
31:14Let's go.
31:15Let's go.
31:18Let's go.
32:22Hey, you're good.
32:26Well.
32:30Well, if Eric packed a bag, it's not here.
32:34You know, maybe he packed it in front of the car already.
32:36I saw this car out in front.
32:38Let's go.
32:38Well, that's why I am a police consultant.
32:53At least now we know he was going somewhere the day he died.
32:56Does anything say where?
32:57Uh, Santa Barbara, Montecito Hotel.
33:03Maybe he called somebody up there.
33:05We should get his phone bill.
33:06I'm on it.
33:07Look at that.
33:23A lot of sap on the hood of this car.
33:26What's wrong?
33:28Oh, nothing.
33:29I just saved a lot of sap on the hood of this car.
33:33Oh, thank God you're here.
33:45Well, I got 12 phone messages from you.
33:48I'm losing my mind here.
33:50I mean, this is a pretty scary place.
33:52I know it's hard, but you've got to get a hold of yourself.
34:00You're a lucky man, Jesse.
34:03See, you've got a lot of really good friends out there.
34:06And they're doing the very best they can to find out whoever did this.
34:11Look, I know that, and I appreciate it.
34:13But I just want to get out of here, okay?
34:19Have you got anything?
34:20We have a couple of leads.
34:23As soon as I have something concrete, I'll let you know.
34:28Look, Ben, I know that you were all set to go home
34:30and that you didn't really want to take this case.
34:33Well, I'm on it now.
34:36I've got everything riding on you.
34:40Jesse, if I couldn't give you 100%, I wouldn't be here.
34:47Thanks.
34:50Oh, I was wondering if I'd see you here today.
35:04Thank God, a friendly face.
35:07How's it feel, didn't it work?
35:09Oh, it works okay, but the people...
35:12Well, I guess just thinking I tried to kill Eric scares them.
35:17It's hard to blame you, really.
35:19I guess it'd just take time.
35:22How's Jesse holding up?
35:25He could be better.
35:28Ben, I knew Eric better than anyone.
35:31If there's anything I can do...
35:34Well, there's one thing.
35:36Do you know if Eric knew somebody named Debbie Gardner?
35:40No, I don't think so.
35:42Why?
35:43Well, Steve found out that he called her
35:45to Montecito Hotel in Santa Barbara
35:47six times the day before he was killed.
35:50He was all packed and ready to go up there when he died.
35:53Hmm.
35:54What does it ring a bell?
35:55That's why Amanda went up to Santa Barbara.
36:02What?
36:03It's only an hour and a half away.
36:05She drove up for the weekend with the baby.
36:07Oh, dear.
36:08Oh, dear.
36:38It looks like you've run out of real estate.
37:03Cut!
37:04Cut!
37:05Debbie, you're moved again.
37:07Sorry, Hal.
37:11All right, let's try and get this one right.
37:16Everybody back to watch.
37:18What is wrong with that woman?
37:21I mean, how tough is it to stay under a friggin' mark?
37:23Stunt doubles, they drive me nuts.
37:28Okay, people.
37:30One more time.
37:32Let's set it up.
37:34Okay.
37:35Reset.
37:35Pretty amazing, huh?
37:49Why'd you come all the way up here?
37:51Well, do you honestly believe I could sit around L.A. while Jesse's in jail while I have this incredible opportunity to crack his case alongside the greatest defense attorney in the world?
38:02How big of a fool do you think I am, huh?
38:05Is that Debbie Gardner?
38:08Ben, you really don't know what's going on here, do you?
38:11Should I start guessing?
38:14Well, you see, Debbie Gardner wasn't Ellen Tracy's original stunt double.
38:20Debbie's sister Paula McCarthy was.
38:22What happened to her?
38:24Paula?
38:24Oh, she was found dead a couple months ago in a motel room.
38:28Apparently her own husband killed her.
38:29Oh, boy.
38:30Oh, let's roll it.
