[bunniefuu]

(INAUDIBLE)

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

OPERATOR: Beverly Hills Emergency.

ERIK: Uh, yeah, yes, please.

Uh...

LYLE: No!

OPERATOR: What's the problem?

What's the problem?

What's the problem?

ERIK: Somebody k*lled my parents.

OPERATOR: Pardon me?

ERIK: Somebody k*lled my parents.

OPERATOR: What?

Who?

OPERATOR: Are they still there?

ERIK: Yes.

OPERATOR: The people who...

ERIK: No, no, no.

No.

OPERATOR: They were sh*t?

ERIK: Yes, they're dead.

LYLE: No.

OPERATOR: I have a hysterical person on.

I'm trying to get anything further.

I don't know what they're saying.

Is the person still there?

ERIK: Uh, no.

POLICEMAN: What happened?

We have units involved.

What happened?

ERIK: I don't...

I don't know.

I just came home.

POLICEMAN: You came home and found who was sh*t?

ERIK: My mom and my dad.

POLICEMAN: You were in bed?

ERIK: No.

OPERATOR: Do you know if they're still in the house?

The people that did the sh**ting.

ZOELLER: Chief said this was a doubleheader.

Jose and Kitty Menendez.

Neighbors heard pops around ten.

Sons Lyle and Erik came home, found the gate open and the alarm off.

Where're the sons now?

Sarge brought them to the station.

You run the plates on these yachts?

The Alfa's Lyle's.

This Mercedes is registered to Mr. Menendez.

The other's a loaner while his wife's Rolls is being serviced.

A Mercedes loaner.

My wife takes the car in for service, she gets a bus ticket.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Behold his mighty hand!

(CAMERAS FLASHING)

Shotgun.

How many shells recovered?

None.

sh**t picked 'em up.

That's different.

LYLE: Well, I...

I usually stay in the guesthouse out back, when I'm home from Princeton.

EDMONDS: What year are you there?

LYLE: Sophomore...

I'm supposed to go back in September.

Joseph Lyle Menendez.

You're named after your father?

Yes.

But I...

I go by Lyle.

So, you and Erik had plans for tonight?

Yeah.

To go see a movie, and then meet up my friend Perry.

Perry Berman.

And what about your parents?

They were just staying in.

Watch TV.

It's Sunday.

Yeah.

We went to the movies, in Century City, we saw Batman.

We weren't even gonna go out, you know.

There wasn't a plan where we always go out on Sundays.

We should've just stayed in...

(SNIFFLES)

Oh, God.

I saw smoke and blood everywhere.

How could Dad let it happen?

(SIGHS)

It's all right, Erik.

Now.

After the movies, you went where?

Uh, the Civic Center, in Santa Monica.

To meet a friend, Perry, at this wine tasting thing.

We couldn't find him.

So, Lyle called him at home.

LYLE: I was, you know, a little bit upset.

I told him to meet us in Beverly Hills, at the Cheesecake Factory.

How come you went by the house?

To pick up this ID that Erik had, in case he had to get into a bar.

But he doesn't drink.

He plays tennis.

Lyle, do you have any ideas on this, to help us solve it?

Well, this movie company my father owns now, the stories he brings home, these are a real seedy group.

He basically just fired a bunch of people.

He was a great man.

He was born in Cuba.

He did what he wanted.

My mother was the great tragedy in all of this.

Only my brother and I know this but she was very edgy and suicidal.

She was more stable lately.

And my dad has been...

I never really got a chance to sit down and talk.

LESLIE: The prosecutors want you to send this boy to the gas chamber for k*lling his abusive father.

You have to ask yourselves, is the only good abused child, the only one who deserves our compassion?

The dead one?

My client chose not to die.

He sh*t his father because driven by years of terror, he was afraid his father would k*ll him.

If you convict him now of first degree m*rder, it will be his father's last act of terror, with you as his accomplice.

REPORTER: 19-year-old Arnel Salvatierra walks out of court today a free man after a judge gave him probation for the k*lling of his father.

The jury found him guilty only of voluntary manslaughter thanks to lawyer Leslie Abramson's plea for leniency.

(REPORTERS CLAMORING)

Leslie, what message does this send?

This was a battered and abused child whose judgment was not perfect.

Whose fault that was, I think the jury figured it out.

What's next for you, Arnel?

Come on, guys, give us some room.

Come on, Lesley.

Unless you want my knee in your sack, back off.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

You can't be on the property.

This is our house.

We live here.

We just came to get our stuff.

I'm Detective Zoeller, I'm in charge of the investigation.

You must be Lyle and Erik.

I'm sorry for your loss.

We, uh, we need to pick up our tennis gear.

You're going to play tennis?

Yeah.

My brother has a practice today.

I can't let you in the house.

It's an active crime scene.

We can't run the risk you might disturb something.

This is our house.

You can't keep us out of our house.

Look...

Come back in three hours.

I'll make sure you get in.

LINEHAN: Zoeller.

What the hell is that?

A ferret.

There's two live ones in a cage in the master bathroom.

It's why there's turds all over the place.

Ferrets.

I don't think I've ever seen a ferret.

Found these back here.

Twenty-two caliber.

Never been fired.

And in here...

(CHITTERS)

Anxiety pills, sleeping pills, diet pills, pills for depression...

All in the name of Mrs. Menendez.

g*ns, pills and money.

What could possibly go wrong here?

REPORTER: The couple was gunned down at their Beverly Hills Estate late Sunday night.

Menendez was the CEO of LIVE Entertainment, a corporation that distributes top videos.

Although Menendez's family suspects mob connections, they could not name names.

GORSON: The former owner of the company was Noel Bloom.

Jose never liked Bloom.

Jose was dead set against p*rn, and that's how Bloom got his start, selling p*rn.

There's also Morris Levy.

We heard that name.

He owned a chain of record stores that Jose bought.

They say he's mobbed up.

Please.

We'll also want to talk to Mr. Menendez's personal friends.

Oh, I don't know who that would be.

The people closest to Jose were the ones who worked with him.

How long have you worked with him?

Since 1976, at Hertz.

I'll miss him very much.

Company's having a memorial service on Friday.

How were things at Mister Menendez's home?

The family was very close-knit.

Jose ran a tight ship.

How about Mrs. Menendez?

We noticed she was taking a lot of medication.

For depression.

She was very insecure.

We found a property in Calabasas in his name.

Were they separating?

No.

They're building a house together.

They used to live in Calabasas before they had to move to Beverly Hills.

Why did they have to move?

Erik broke into a neighbor's house.

TERRY: Oh, my poor nephews...

LYLE: We love you, Aunt Terry.

Oh, the whole family loves you both so much.

You won't be alone.

Grandma will be here later.

We, uh...

We got rooms at the hotel for everybody.

We can all be together.

Oh, Joan, I'm so sorry.

It's just horrible.

Your sister was so sweet.

Yeah.

The police have any suspects?

Maybe.

People Dad worked with.

This is, uh, some hotel you picked.

It's okay, Uncle Brian.

Dad's company's paying for everything.

Plus it's safer here.

Safer?

Have you been threatened?

Well, Erik was at the house this morning with our cousin Henry.

There was a van in the alley.

Like it was watching the house, right?

It was weird, that's for sure.

Dad had some sketchy business partners.

Jamie.

Oh God, Lyle.

I'm so sorry.

You didn't have to fly all the way out here.

No.

No, I did.

I know how much you looked up to your father.

He liked you so much.

It'd mean a lot to him knowing you were here.

You know, Erik's in bad shape.

It'd be great if you could talk to him.

Yeah.

Sure.

Hey.

JOSE: I'm not paying for any trip to Europe.

You have your studies.

Study or work, those are your choices.

Jamie'll be over there for a year.

I have to go see her.

We're engaged.

Engaged?

She's five years older than you.

She's not appropriate.

She's a gold digger.

Dad, she doesn't need our money.

She'll get rich playing tennis.

That's why she's in Europe.

She...

She got sponsored to play on the tour.

Are you that naive?

Who do you think paid for the sponsorship?

I'm thinking about your future, Lyle.

And so should you.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you so much.

Mister Chaleff thinks someone should take charge and pay the bills at least until we can find your parents' wills and, uh, we'll get the estate settled.

Aunt Marta, um, Uncle Carlos, this is my therapist Doctor Oziel.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Jose and Kitty were amazing people.

You must be overwhelmed.

If you need an estate lawyer, I know the top ones in Beverly Hills.

Thank you, Doctor.

They'll let you know if they need a referral.

He's the shrink Erik has to see 'cause of the Calabasas thing.

It's good that he has someone to talk to.

Now, it's going to take a week to straighten everything out.

Do you and Erik have enough pocket money to tide you over?

Well, our allowance is only a $180 a month.

Your father's wallet was in his study.

You can use his company card.

I'll make sure you're authorized.

LINEHAN: Ballistics counted 15 sh*ts.

But they can't tell if the headshot on the male victim was first or last, or if he was standing or sitting.

It doesn't always lay out nice and neat.

Point taken.

Fingerprints?

Just the folks who live here.

Sheriff County O.C. have anything on Noel Bloom or Morris Levy?

Bloom's got no strong motive.

Levy's in a coma, rotting from cancer.

This isn't organized crime.

A pro wouldn't waste time picking up spent shells.

Wasn't Erik Menendez assaulted by some g*ng-bangers in the Valley two years ago?

So they rolled into Beverly Hills to settle a two-year-old beef?

Miss Ferrero, I've been working this area 14 years.

And every time something bad happens here, the good citizens of Beverly Hills say it's got to be the bangers, or the Mob, or Charlie Manson.

Always an outsider, because nobody bad lives in Beverly Hills.

I'm familiar with your work on "Billionaire Boys Club", Detective.

I'll call you after I brief Mr.

Reiner.

Is this how it's supposed to look?

Yes.

We have to look sharp for the memorial.

We'll be on stage speaking.

It just feels too tight.

That's the cut.

We'll take it.

And the two Armanis for me.

You can put it on this.

Gold, just like Dad's.

Come on, pick one.

No, I have a watch.

That's not a watch, it's a toy.

How about this one, the sporty one?

The Submariner.

It's a classic.

He'll take it.

I'll take the gold and the stainless with the diamonds on the dial.

And two gold money clips.

Okay.

(CLAMORING)

I told you, you shouldn't wear that.

It's just a watch.

It's a gold watch you bought four days after your parents were k*lled.

The family won't understand.

My father would.

Please, Uncle Carlos.

These are his colleagues.

I have to represent him.

I'm the oldest.

LYLE: I want to read from a letter my father wrote to me after I became engaged to my fiancée Jamie.

"Family is the most important thing in my life "and I hope it will be in yours.

"We are heirs to a very special heritage.

"With that comes a responsibility.

"I urge you as you go through life to think of your family and your country.

"I believe you and Erik can make a difference.

"Work with honor and challenge yourself to excellence.

"The future belongs not just to the brightest "but also to the most determined.

"Love to you both, Dad." (SNIFFLING)

My dad believed in me, he thought that I could be a tennis champion.

And...

when I would get discouraged, he would...

He would tell me what Winston Churchill said, "Never, never, never give up." It's okay.

Laine is thrilled with the idea of having a little sister.

Or brother.

She doesn't think we're too old to be changing diapers?

No.

Why, do you?

I signed on to this job 12 years ago for better or worse.

I can stand a few poopy diapers.

Laine said when she's done with Cal Arts, she'll come to our rescue.

I told her we don't have an adoption agency yet.

It'll be okay, baby.

We'll be terrific parents.

Yeah.

Not that we had great role models.

We learned from their bad examples.

Who's in your crosshairs today?

Usual suspects living in Los Angeles.

Chief Gates, choke hold.

It'll run in Monday's edition.

(ON TV)

There are no suspects yet.

Family members offered their own theories.

My brother made the mistake of buying a business that had been used before by the Mafia.

When he took over...

What does the brain trust at the Times think?

Soble and Johnson think there's something to this mob angle.

MAN: (ON TV)

Their deaths leave behind two sons Lyle and Erik Menendez.

No.

Those boys did it.

Seen here, attending their parents' memorial service at the Directors Guild shortly after their parents were brutally slain.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Hey, Tom, check this out.

It was broken in the night of.

But with the front door open, there'd be a draft.

Hey, Sergeant?

Yeah?

When you interviewed Erik Menendez, he said something about g*n smoke?

Yeah.

He saw and smelled g*n smoke when he and his brother came home.

Two hours after the sh**ting.

g*n smoke would've dissipated by then.

Especially with a draft.

When they brought those boys back to the station, you run a G.S.R. on 'em?

Uh, well, nah, I mean they were so broken up...

So, you gave 'em a pass.

The rich kids' get-outta-jail pass.

You're my angel...

GLENN: Where are those guys?

LYLE: I told you they couldn't keep up.

Ah, so how long you gonna need these bodyguards?

I don't know.

I was at the bank in Beverly Hills the other day, a guy walked by me and said, "You're next." I need 'em for protection.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Here they are.

What about Erik?

He's okay.

He's staying with my loudmouth cousin Henry.

What the hell's that all about, huh?

Yeah.

We were just in a hurry to eat.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

We go in first.

(SNIGGERING)

BERMAN: I was supposed to meet Lyle and Erik in Santa Monica.

They didn't show by 10:30.

I went home.

Am I a suspect?

We're looking at everyone.

So what happened after you went home?

(SIGHS)

I went to sleep.

I already told Sergeant Edmonds.

Lyle called me about a quarter past 11.

They said they got lost.

They say where they were calling from?

No.

But he said he still wanted to meet up.

He wanted to discuss Princeton issues.

What are "Princeton issues"?

Lyle was suspended for plagiarism.

I used to be his tennis coach.

We remained friends.

I told them I'd meet them at the Cheesecake Factory.

The one in Beverly Hills.

Yeah.

But Lyle insisted he wanted to meet at the house.

He said something about getting an I.D. for Erik.

He insisted.

And I told 'em I'd meet 'em at the restaurant.

They never showed up.

He insisted you had to meet at the house, that's what you said?

Yeah.

He...

He sounded bad.

I need to make a call, tell a student I'm gonna be late.

(DOG BARKING)

Sounds like they wanted Berman there when they found the bodies.

A witness to their shock.

Yeah.

They knew what they were gonna find.

LYLE: So here's the plan.

How long have we been coming here?

Two years?

It's always busy.

I want to buy this place.

Make it the flagship of a chain of hot wing joints.

Put one in every college town in the Northeast.

Freaking brilliant.

And Glenn, I want you to manage the flagship.

I'll make you a partner.

You serious?

I'm in.

I'm in.

I really need this to work.

I want to move fast.

A lightning pace, like my dad said.

I want to make him proud.

Maybe he's watching me, I don't know.

(SIGHING)

No.

No, no.

(SNIFFLING)

Come on, Mom, I'm gonna have practice.

Come watch me.

(SIGHING)

Mom, you can't stay in bed forever.

I know Dad cares about you.

We all care.

We love you, Mom.

Please.

(WHIMPERING)

(SOBBING LOUDLY)

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

(GASPING)

Hello?

Hey, Erik.

Did I wake you up?

No.

Uh, listen, I found this tape recorder in your dad's study, wired to your line.

There's, uh, tapes marked "Erik and Lyle".

Did you know your parents were recording your calls?

No.

I guess that's how Mom always knew what I was doing.

I don't know, Erik, if it was me I'd be pissed.

No disrespect, but your parents...

You don't understand, Henry.

She was so unhappy.

She was defenseless.

Okay.

I'll bring the cassettes home.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Doctor Jerome Oziel.

Doctor Oziel, uh, this is Henry Llanio, Erik Menendez's cousin.

We met at the hotel.

Yes.

Is everything alright, Henry?

I'm worried about Erik.

He doesn't sleep at night.

He has nightmares.

He stays in the house, in a dark room all day.

We're worried he'll try to hurt himself.

Why?

Has he said anything?

Well, no, but...

I just think...

Henry, people deal with grief in different ways.

Why don't you encourage Erik to give me a call.

Okay, Doctor, thank you.

I'll do that...

(CLEARING THROAT)

Come on.

I thought you forgot about me.

If you don't stop camping out in my waiting room, I'm gonna have to call the police and have you thrown out.

Who's gonna take care of Doctor Daddy?

(MOANING)

I have work.

Go sit over there.

You're such a control freak.

I heard the phone ring.

Was that your wife?

It was about a patient.

Erik Menendez.

The one whose parents got k*lled?

You have such famous patients.

Extraordinary people with ordinary problems.

I help them get better.

You said you were gonna leave her.

Judalon.

Jerry.

I function when we're apart.

But I live when we're together.

Laurel and I are talking about what to do, about the kids, dividing everything up.

But you don't dictate the timeline.

I feel bad, Doctor Daddy.

Make me better.

The Batman show times fit their story.

Menendez let his kids use his Sprint calling card to charge toll calls and payphones.

We get a warrant for the records, we'll see who they called that night.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Detective Zoeller.

MAN: (ON PHONE)

My name's Richard Knox.

I'm a lawyer.

I'm calling on behalf of a woman whose son went to high school in Calabasas with Erik Menendez.

She asked me to pass on information.

She said you should speak to one of Erik's classmates, a boy named Craig.

They wrote a screenplay together.

Wild thing Please baby, baby, please Posse in effect Hanging out is always hype And when me and the crew leave the shindig I want a girl who's just my type WOMAN: He should be here any minute.

Craig.

Uh, these detectives are with the Beverly Hills Police.

They want to ask you about Erik.

I told them you'd be happy to answer their questions.

ZOELLER: Thank you.

I'm Les Zoeller.

This is my partner Tom Linehan.

We, uh, understand you went to school with Erik.

Yeah, um, until he moved to Beverly Hills.

I haven't seen him in six months.

Did you and Erik write a movie script about a boy who k*lled his parents?

Yeah, and inherits millions of dollars.

We wrote it two years ago, when he lived in Calabasas.

We'd like to read it.

Sure.

Um, there's a...

There's a copy in my room.

Erik's mom helped us type it up.

Did Erik ever talk about inheriting money?

No.

I mean, we talked about being rich.

You know, we'd go into the hills above Malibu, to get away from everything and, you know, dream up this better ideology for the future.

You know, a lot of people looked up to me and Erik in high school.

Like, we had this aura of superiority.

(CLEARS THROAT)

You...

You guys think Erik did it?

I mean, you know...

k*lled his parents?

What do you think?

Well, I mean the...

The script was his idea, so...

ZOELLER: Right.

"Hamilton Cromwell, 17, "stands over the coffins of his m*rder*d parents." "He says, 'My father was not a man to show his emotions.

"'Sometimes he would tell me I was not worthy to be his son.

"'Nothing I have ever done was good enough for this man...'" Out of the mouths of babes.

The Ford Escort the boys were driving that night, it's missing.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Detective Zoeller.

Yeah.

This is Gerald Chaleff.

Yes, Mr.

Chaleff.

Yeah.

I hear you're talking to Erik and Lyle's friends.

Are the boys suspects?

At this stage, everyone's a suspect.

No one's been officially eliminated.

Right.

You let me know if that changes.

How did you get to be the Menendez family consigliore?

I represented Erik on some petty burglaries in Calabasas.

Teenage stuff.

Lyle was involved but since Erik's a minor, their father made him take the fall so Lyle wouldn't get a record.

Erik got probation and court-ordered counseling.

So, what're they like, the boys?

Very polite.

Well-behaved for the most part.

What is in the bag?

Chocolate-brownie Pogens.

Roberto's mom said they're his favorites.

Even hit men have mothers who love them.

Good morning, Roberto.

I got you a little something.

Miss Abramson, you're too much.

(CHUCKLES)

COURT DEPUTY: All rise.

Judge Weisberg presiding.

Please sit down.

Miss Abramson, is that a bakery bag?

Tell your client there's no eating in my courtroom.

He knows, Your Honor.

He was raised with good manners.

Maybe you can learn some from him.

Maybe we both can, Your Honor.

We got the warrant for the calling card records.

Guess that officially makes the boys suspects.

GLENN: Oh man, this is so badass.

LYLE: If you want success, you project it.

You want people to be intimidated.

LINEHAN: We followed up on a call that Erik and Lyle made the day after the murders.

It was to a bank.

They told us Lyle and Erik had their parents' safety box drilled open.

That's right.

I was there.

The bank also said the boys insisted on opening the box in private, with just the two of them.

Yes, in case there were personal papers that might embarrass their parents.

How about a will?

Did they mention that?

No.

We were all looking for the will.

It wasn't in any of the usual places.

Were Lyle and Erik concerned you couldn't find the will?

They didn't seem interested.

They're immature about money.

We never found the will, but counting the Calabasas house and this one, your parents left you an estate worth about 14 million dollars.

That can't be right, Aunt Marta.

We're not supposed to get anything.

You're the direct heirs.

You'll inherit everything.

That's impossible.

Dad said he was taking us out of the will.

I'm sure my brother said that just to scare them, so they would listen to him.

Are you the executor?

No.

My brother-in-law is, Carlos Baralt.

Jose talked about cutting them out of the will last spring.

He just went off on those boys.

I'm fed up.

Lyle is flunking out.

Princeton accused him of plagiarism.

And these girls he's with.

Sluts.

Come on, Jose.

It can't be that bad.

My sons think they can sit back and wait for their inheritance.

I've made a decision.

I'm changing my will.

They'll have to get by on their own initiative.

Do you know if he told his sons?

No.

I have no idea if he even rewrote the will.

The one we found still has the boys as the heirs.

You found a will?

Yes, in a drawer in Kitty's bathroom.

It was dated 1980.

I looked for a new will.

I searched Kitty's computer.

I found a file named "Will".

I couldn't open it.

I called IBM to send a tech.

Um, a guy drove up from San Diego a few days later, with his pregnant wife.

He searched the computer.

It's not here.

No file marked "Will".

How's that possible?

It was there five days ago.

Are you sure?

It's not on this computer.

The file must have been erased.

Where were Lyle and Erik?

Erik was staying with his cousin Henry.

Lyle was still in Princeton.

I have no idea who could've erased that file.

(TYPING)

The hard drive was wiped clean.

Can you get the files back?

We don't have that capability.

This technology's pretty new.

Maybe the Feds, but it'll take months.

The monitor on the Menendez bank account popped this out, check dated August 31st for a 150 bucks, to a computer firm in West L.A., signed by Lyle Menendez.

And, oh yeah, the check bounced.

JAMIE: I thought you wanted to open a chain of restaurants.

Well, that's just part of the portfolio.

A trucking company'd be another part.

Lyle, you need to focus.

I know that you have a lot on your mind lately, but, you're, kind of scattered.

Really?

What do you mean?

Like your checkbook.

I heard the message from the bank.

If you don't know how to balance your checkbook, I can show you.

Okay.

Look, I'm...

I'm trying, Jamie.

I'm really trying.

I...

I know.

Didn't your dad teach you how to handle your money?

No, I...

He never showed me.

Good morning.

Lyle, we've instructed you on this.

You have to page us before you come down, so we can secure the area.

Look, I heard through this friend that everything's cool with the mob now.

So I won't need you anymore.

Thanks.

WITKIN: August 31, 1:30 p.m.

My company beeped me about an urgent service call from a Lyle Menendez in Beverly Hills.

I called him back from my car.

Uh, he needed files erased from his computer right away.

He'd flown in from New York and he was flying back that evening.

I went right over.

Those four right there.

"Erik", "Lyle", "Will", "Menendez".

I'm selling the computer.

Can you make it look like those files were never there?

If that's what you want.

Did you see what was on those files?

No.

Three'd been written over.

The one marked "will" was corrupted.

But it only had 54K of data on it.

How much is that?

"Pastrami on rye with a side of cole slaw and hold the pickles".

That's 29K.

Do you mind if I visit the men's room?

You know, it looks like the parents started on a new will but never finished it, or they changed their minds.

Get rid of your parents, get rid of the new will.

Sounds like a plan to me.

I was in high school when Sharon Tate was k*lled.

But this is more shocking.

I mean, Beverly Hills, five blocks away from Rodeo.

Goes to show, all the money in the world, you're only as safe at the lock on your front door.

What makes you think it wasn't an inside job?

What would make you think it was?

Well, 15 sh*ts from a shotgun?

Those poor people were blown to bits.

Point blank to the face.
