Nitroglycerin is prescribed

all so that the company could save
giving him a retirement bonus?
171
00:08:31,911 --> 00:08:37,372
That's $125 million extra
in our coffers.
172
00:08:37,550 --> 00:08:40,110
The year-end bonuses
would have been huge.

is that I am, heh, a greedy jerk

with really questionable judgment,
then I'm guilty.
175
00:08:47,827 --> 00:08:50,261
But I swear to you,
I'm not a murderer.
176
00:08:50,429 --> 00:08:51,987
I just got off the phone with the lab.
177
00:08:52,164 --> 00:08:54,758
They confirm the nitroglycerin
in Titus Delancey's glass,

but said the bottle of bourbon
was clean.
179
00:08:57,303 --> 00:08:58,565
Which means
whoever poisoned him

00:08:58,738 --> 00:09:00,330
was in the room
when he poured his drink.

which, according to the ME,
is when Delancey died.
184
00:09:07,213 --> 00:09:10,979
So Mr. Jeffries used his boss's corpse
as a dress-up doll,
185
00:09:11,150 --> 00:09:12,583
but didn't kill him.

I talked to Titus yesterday afternoon.

He didn't mention any plans
for the evening.
194
00:09:31,203 --> 00:09:33,535
And you and the boys
stayed overnight in Bedford.

Yes, we have a house there.

It was the nanny's night off.

So the three of us just
had a quiet evening at home.
198

Mrs. Delancey,
can you think of anyone

that might have wanted
to harm your husband?

But Titus was a very
successful man.

Oh, God. I got here

Fifteen-year-old Michigan girl.
222
00:10:53,219 --> 00:10:55,210
She was accused of fatally
poisoning her father.
223
00:10:55,388 --> 00:10:57,379
Yeah, it was all over the papers.
224
00:10:57,556 --> 00:11:01,014
Yeah, well, that also involved
a nitroglycerin overdose.
225
00:11:01,193 --> 00:11:03,491
I followed the trial quite closely.
I was fascinated by it.
226

Fifteen years old myself at the time.

- She was acquitted, right?
HOLMES: Yep.

Many people continued to believe
that she had indeed killed her father.
229
00:11:15,307 --> 00:11:17,400
She was scrutinized by the media,
she was harassed,

so one day she just packed up
her stuff, disappeared,

but I'm quite certain that
her real name is Abigail Spencer.

GREGSON: For the record, your
current legal name is Anne Barker,
237
00:11:44,470 --> 00:11:47,928
but you were born
Abigail Spencer, correct?
238
00:11:49,475 --> 00:11:51,272
Yes, I was born Abigail Spencer.
239
00:11:51,444 --> 00:11:53,036
And back in 1991,
240
00:11:53,212 --> 00:11:55,646
you were accused of murdering
your father with nitroglycerine.
241
00:11:55,815 --> 00:11:57,009
Accused and acquitted.
242
00:11:57,183 --> 00:11:58,707
People thought you got away
with murder.
243
00:11:58,884 --> 00:12:02,980
Really? I had no idea. Certainly not
why I changed my name.
244
00:12:06,292 --> 00:12:08,920
Look, my dad was not
a nice man, okay?
245
00:12:09,095 --> 00:12:11,427
He was cruel, and he beat me.
246
00:12:11,597 --> 00:12:14,088
So when he died,
I didn't weep or wail,
247
00:12:14,266 --> 00:12:18,669
or do any of those things teenage girls
apparently do when their dad dies.
248
00:12:18,838 --> 00:12:21,204

that I killed him.

Are you aware he was poisoned?

ABIGAIL: Yes. And to answer
your next question, no, I didn't kill him.
252
00:12:28,714 --> 00:12:30,341
GREGSON: Then why
are you sounding so defensive?
253
00:12:30,516 --> 00:12:31,983
I'm being interrogated by the police.
254
00:12:32,151 --> 00:12:34,551
So I feel like being defensive
is sort of a natural reaction.

00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,847
You don't find it
the least bit coincidental

00:12:37,389 --> 00:12:41,052
that he was killed with the exact poison
that killed your father?
257
00:12:41,227 --> 00:12:44,094
No, I find it extremely coincidental,
but I didn't do it.

- Home alone.
- That's a lousy alibi, Abigail.

I would've invited somebody over.

The ones who thought I was guilty
were afraid of me.

00:13:15,261 --> 00:13:16,626
And the ones who knew
I was innocent
268
00:13:16,796 --> 00:13:20,459
couldn't be around me without
being in every paper in the country.

00:13:35,414 --> 00:13:37,041
Your voice.
275
00:13:37,216 --> 00:13:39,480
I just recognized it
from the media coverage.

Oh.

00:13:43,722 --> 00:13:47,385
Look, I know you can't prove

that I had anything to do
with Mr. Delancey's death.

If you could've, you would've
arrested me at the house.

So if you don't have
any more questions,
281
00:13:55,467 --> 00:13:57,662
I would like to leave, please.
282
00:13:58,070 --> 00:14:01,130
I've spent enough of my life
being accused of things I didn't do.
283
00:14:09,148 --> 00:14:10,581
Doesn't feel right, letting her go.
284
00:14:10,749 --> 00:14:12,410
I mean, you talk about
a solid suspect.
285
00:14:12,585 --> 00:14:16,077
She was right. We don't have
enough evidence to hold her yet.
286
00:14:17,156 --> 00:14:20,353
- I don't believe she did it.
- You're the one who pointed her out.
287
00:14:20,526 --> 00:14:23,359
Her presence at the Delancey home
was too remarkable to ignore,
288
00:14:23,529 --> 00:14:25,588
but her haptics suggest
she's telling the truth.
289
00:14:25,764 --> 00:14:28,062
Titus Delancey was killed
with nitroglycerine.
290
00:14:28,234 --> 00:14:30,168
So was her dad.
That can't be a coincidence.
291
00:14:30,336 --> 00:14:33,931
I agree, but I think the similarities
are quite deliberate.
292
00:14:34,106 --> 00:14:37,667
I think whoever poisoned Mr. Delancey
intends to frame Ms. Spencer.
293
00:14:37,843 --> 00:14:39,834
WATSON: That would mean the killer
knew who she was.
294
00:14:40,012 --> 00:14:42,446
She said no one had
recognized her in 19 years.
295
00:14:42,615 --> 00:14:44,446
As far as she knows.
296
00:14:48,921 --> 00:14:51,822
So you want to tell me
how you knew about her tattoo?
297
00:14:52,925 --> 00:14:55,519
- Beg your pardon?
- Abigail's tattoo.
298
00:14:56,562 --> 00:14:59,122
When you recognized her,
you said it was because of her voice,
299
00:14:59,298 --> 00:15:01,528
but I think it was something
more than that.
300
00:15:02,334 --> 00:15:04,461
You fixated on the tattoo
on her wrist.
301
00:15:04,970 --> 00:15:07,495
At first I thought you remembered it
from a picture
302
00:15:07,673 --> 00:15:09,265
that was taken during her trial.
303
00:15:09,441 --> 00:15:11,170
But then when I looked back
at coverage,
304
00:15:11,343 --> 00:15:13,140
Abigail did not have a tattoo.
305
00:15:13,312 --> 00:15:14,836
So how could you have
recognized it?
306
00:15:15,581 --> 00:15:18,209
Lmpressive, Watson.
Quite impressive.
307
00:15:19,752 --> 00:15:22,220
You know, the truth is
that Abigail Spencer and I
308
00:15:22,388 --> 00:15:26,051
are old acquaintances,
after a fashion.
309
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:32,428
By the time I was 15, I was fascinated
by murder and all things criminal.
310
00:15:32,598 --> 00:15:36,193
Abigail was so beautiful
and her father's fortune so vast
311
00:15:36,368 --> 00:15:39,428
that the UK tabloids actually
deigned to cover the case.
312
00:15:39,605 --> 00:15:41,766
Over time, they lost interest.
313
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:45,104
I did not. I became fascinated
by the question of her guilt.
314
00:15:45,277 --> 00:15:48,178
So I wrote to her.
315
00:15:48,347 --> 00:15:51,282
A letter comprised
of very direct questions
316
00:15:51,450 --> 00:15:54,112
about her life and her father's death.
317
00:15:54,286 --> 00:15:56,754
Mm. So she wrote back.
318
00:15:56,922 --> 00:16:01,689
Yeah, we corresponded throughout
the trial and for a while afterwards.
319
00:16:01,860 --> 00:16:03,020
In one of her later missives,
320
00:16:03,195 --> 00:16:07,427
she mentioned that she wanted to get
a tattoo of a phoenix on her wrist.
321
00:16:07,599 --> 00:16:10,898
A symbol of her rebirth
after her ordeal.
322
00:16:11,236 --> 00:16:13,067
Why didn't she recognize
your name today?
323
00:16:13,238 --> 00:16:15,638
I mean, Sherlock Holmes
is pretty hard to forget.
324
00:16:16,175 --> 00:16:19,906
In my teenage years, I was a lot less
self-assured than I am today.
325
00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:22,309
I yearned for a more typical name.
326
00:16:22,481 --> 00:16:25,678
So for a while, I attempted
to be known as Sean Holmes.
327
00:16:25,851 --> 00:16:28,979
Didn't stick, but Sean
and Abigail's correspondence
328
00:16:29,154 --> 00:16:32,487
became a very real window
into the criminal mind.
329
00:16:33,459 --> 00:16:35,757
Are you saying she confessed
to killing her father to you?
330
00:16:35,928 --> 00:16:38,692
She never directly
addressed the issue.
331
00:16:39,465 --> 00:16:41,262
Without knowing,
she revealed details
332
00:16:41,433 --> 00:16:44,459
which I believe filled in the holes
in the case against her.
333
00:16:44,903 --> 00:16:48,896
As for her relationship with her father,
well, she shared some things
334
00:16:49,074 --> 00:16:51,474
which must have been quite
humiliating for her.
335
00:16:51,643 --> 00:16:54,874
She left me in little doubt
that he was indeed physically abusive
336
00:16:55,047 --> 00:16:58,744
and that she was responsible
for his death.
337
00:16:59,618 --> 00:17:02,485
Wow, sounds like
she really opened up to you.
338
00:17:02,654 --> 00:17:04,519
She was an excellent
research subject.
339
00:17:04,690 --> 00:17:09,059
She was very forthcoming, attributable
primarily to her isolation at the time,
340
00:17:09,228 --> 00:17:12,197
and my promise that
whatever she shared with me
341
00:17:12,364 --> 00:17:14,059
would be kept
in the strictest confidence.
342

00:17:17,236 --> 00:17:20,296

you'd figured out that she was guilty?
344
00:17:20,472 --> 00:17:21,666
Trial was over.
345
00:17:22,141 --> 00:17:24,439
Double jeopardy protected her
from a second.
346
00:17:24,610 --> 00:17:28,944
And I was quite confident that although
she had killed, she was not a killer.
347

She posed no threat to anyone
other than her father.

Titus Delancey might disagree.

Well, as I told you,
I don't believe Abigail's responsible.

You think she's being framed,
but how can you be so sure?

You are relying on a judgment
you made when you were 15.

Well, when I made it is irrelevant.
What matters is I was right.

who has uncovered Abigail's secret,
we'll have our killer.

So we got a hit on that license plate
Holmes gave us.
410
00:21:14,273 --> 00:21:17,333
Abigail was being tailed
by a private investigator out of Trenton.
411
00:21:17,509 --> 00:21:18,601
We just talked to the guy.
412
00:21:18,777 --> 00:21:22,736
Turns out he was hired by none other
than Peri Delancey, our victim's wife.
413
00:21:22,914 --> 00:21:27,283
And according to the PI, Peri
was hoping Titus was having an affair.
414
00:21:27,452 --> 00:21:31,286
It seems that in her prenup,
she was limited to a very small amount
415
00:21:31,456 --> 00:21:34,084
in the event of a divorce,
unless she caught him cheating.
416
00:21:34,259 --> 00:21:37,888
So she has the PI check out
all the women in her husband's life.
417
00:21:38,063 --> 00:21:39,189
Including Abigail.
418
00:21:39,364 --> 00:21:41,924
Yeah, but the thing is,
Titus wasn't sleeping with anyone,
419
00:21:42,100 --> 00:21:44,068
which put a damper
on Peri's divorce plans,
420
00:21:44,236 --> 00:21:47,603
but in the process,
the PI uncovered Abigail's true identity.
421
00:21:47,773 --> 00:21:50,936
Investigator turned over his report
a full two weeks ago.
422
00:21:51,109 --> 00:21:53,942
She doesn't tell anyone,
she doesn't fire Abigail.
423
00:21:54,112 --> 00:21:56,512
She just keeps letting
a suspected poisoner
424
00:21:56,682 --> 00:21:58,149
make sandwiches for her stepkids.
425
00:21:58,517 --> 00:22:01,486
Peri told us she was at the Bedford
house with the boys the other night,
426
00:22:01,653 --> 00:22:03,177
but once we spoke to them
on their own,
427
00:22:03,355 --> 00:22:05,220
they said they were watching TV
in their rooms.
428
00:22:05,390 --> 00:22:07,551
It wouldn't have been hard
to sneak out, poison Titus
429
00:22:07,726 --> 00:22:09,216
and make it back
before anyone noticed.
430
00:22:09,528 --> 00:22:11,496

The night Titus died,
435
00:22:21,139 --> 00:22:23,903
I met Dr. Phillip Malone
at the Campbell Bar

in Mount Kisco at 7 p.m.

Several members of the staff
can confirm
438
00:22:28,780 --> 00:22:30,748
that I was there most of the evening.
439
00:22:30,916 --> 00:22:32,383
You and Dr. Malone having an affair?

Dr. Malone has a prior arrest for illegal
distribution of prescription meds.
444
00:22:42,527 --> 00:22:44,757
My client is happy to testify
against Dr. Malone

if you'll agree not to bring

447
00:22:48,834 --> 00:22:52,292
Well, if your client has a solid alibi,
what would we charge her with?
448
00:22:53,638 --> 00:22:55,765
We'd like to avoid
an attempted murder charge.
449
00:22:57,509 --> 00:23:01,605
Mrs. Delancey, what medication
did you purchase from Dr. Malone?
450
00:23:03,081 --> 00:23:04,207
Nitroglycerin.
451
00:23:04,649 --> 00:23:06,708
Which you were planning to use
to kill your husband.
452
00:23:08,019 --> 00:23:11,921
I was considering it.
453
00:23:12,190 --> 00:23:16,217
I figured if I went through with it,
I could call in an anonymous tip,
454
00:23:16,395 --> 00:23:19,694
tell the police about who Anne
really was, and she'd get the blame.
455
00:23:19,865 --> 00:23:25,235
But to be clear, it was
just something I thought about.
456
00:23:25,404 --> 00:23:28,737
I don't think I ever
could have actually hurt Titus.
457
00:23:28,907 --> 00:23:32,502
So your client's statement is that
she couldn't have killed her husband
458
00:23:32,677 --> 00:23:35,578
because she was too busy
planning to kill her husband?
459
00:23:44,823 --> 00:23:46,814
First time in my career
someone's alibi for murder
460
00:23:46,992 --> 00:23:50,393
has been that they were busy
planning the same murder.

it would be interesting.

for Peri Delancey.

Six months on drug charges
beats life in prison.
464
00:23:58,804 --> 00:24:01,705
Why did you add a photograph
of the two Delancey kids?
465
00:24:01,873 --> 00:24:04,603
Only one of them is a suspect.
466
00:24:05,944 --> 00:24:10,381
A short while ago, I obtained a copy
of Mr. Delancey's estate plan.
467
00:24:10,549 --> 00:24:12,676
Now that he's dead,
a large part of his fortune
468
00:24:12,851 --> 00:24:14,648
goes into trusts for his sons,
469
00:24:14,820 --> 00:24:17,220
millions of dollars they will access
as soon as they're 18.
470
00:24:17,389 --> 00:24:19,220
That's only one year away
for Graham.
471
00:24:19,391 --> 00:24:21,552
Also, the young man
no longer has an alibi.
472
00:24:21,726 --> 00:24:25,025
Peri Delancey has admitted she wasn't
actually with the boys that evening.
473
00:24:25,197 --> 00:24:27,392
So Graham himself
could easily have snuck back home.
474
00:24:27,699 --> 00:24:30,930
Well, there's no evidence that he knew
about Abigail's history as a poisoner.
475
00:24:31,102 --> 00:24:33,798
The very topic I plan to discuss
when I confront him tomorrow.
476
00:24:34,306 --> 00:24:37,104
Isn't tomorrow
Titus Delancey's memorial service?
477
00:24:37,275 --> 00:24:40,369
- Precisely.
- You heard what you just said, right?
478
00:24:40,545 --> 00:24:42,604
You're planning to harass
a teenage boy
479
00:24:42,781 --> 00:24:44,248
while he's mourning his father?
480
00:24:44,716 --> 00:24:46,650
If he's the poisoner,
he won't really be mourning.
481
00:24:46,818 --> 00:24:48,786
You know the police think Abigail
is their best suspect?
482
00:24:48,954 --> 00:24:52,822
I do. As I've told you,
I do not share their suspicions.
483
00:24:53,124 --> 00:24:54,716
That's because you were
in love with her.
484
00:24:54,893 --> 00:24:56,053
- What?
- When you were a kid,
485
00:24:56,228 --> 00:24:57,957
when you were writing her,
you fell in love.
486
00:24:58,129 --> 00:25:00,097
You spent almost three hours
at her house today.
487
00:25:00,265 --> 00:25:02,028
In spite of what happened
with Peri Delancey,
488
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,100
no one thinks she's being framed
except for you.
489
00:25:08,740 --> 00:25:11,174
I was quite young when my father
490
00:25:11,343 --> 00:25:13,868
shipped me off
to boarding school, right?
491
00:25:14,045 --> 00:25:17,776
I struggled. I was different
to my classmates. I was, uh...
492
00:25:17,949 --> 00:25:19,917
Well, I was more intelligent.
I was brash.
493
00:25:20,085 --> 00:25:22,610
So they tormented me mercilessly.
494
00:25:23,054 --> 00:25:25,488
Yes, I remember you saying once
that you had been bullied,
495
00:25:25,657 --> 00:25:27,591
but I wasn't sure
if you were telling the truth.
496
00:25:27,859 --> 00:25:31,488
It happened. I overcame it.
It was a different time back then.
497
00:25:31,663 --> 00:25:34,063
There was no such thing
as harassment via text,
498
00:25:34,232 --> 00:25:36,223
or circulation
of cruel cell phone videos.
499
00:25:36,401 --> 00:25:39,859
No, my bullies had one tool
at their disposal: Violence.
500

that you have a very understandable
motive for wanting him dead.

That's why you used nitroglycerin.

You procured some nitroglycerin
