0:00:07 > 0:00:09..and a brother is born in adversity.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15Father, please, please, please have mercy on him.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Look after him, protect him,
0:00:17 > 0:00:21for he's in pain and he knows not what he's doing.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Just tell him Robert Shapiro is calling. He'll know what it's about.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29What do you want?
0:00:29 > 0:00:33- Gil!- I wish I could reach through this goddamn phone and strangle you.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35I am so sorry he did this to us.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38I mean, you know that I'm a fixer of things.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40I don't tolerate this kind of stuff.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42How does a murder suspect disappear from a house full of people?
0:00:42 > 0:00:44I didn't know that he was going to run.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46I mean, you've got to believe me, Gil.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48I mean, I'm the good guy here!
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Look, who brought Menendez back from Israel, hmm?
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Who backed your campaign?
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Look, you even came to my 50th birthday.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56You loved it, it was a great party.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Bob, find your client and deliver him.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Do you have a minute?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Of course.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Drink?
0:01:17 > 0:01:18No, thanks.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27OJ left a suicide note.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36It's terrible.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I don't know what we're supposed to do with it.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43I mean, do we need to give it to the police?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Jesus Christ.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Who the hell signs a suicide note with a happy face?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- TV:- 'One of the most stunning announcements you're ever
0:01:52 > 0:01:54'going to hear on live television -
0:01:54 > 0:01:57'OJ Simpson, one of this country's best known personalities,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00'is a suspect in a double homicide, a terribly gruesome crime,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02'and he is at large tonight.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05'There is now a state-wide manhunt under way for OJ Simpson
0:02:05 > 0:02:07'in California.'
0:02:07 > 0:02:10If it were our absolute goal, could we look more incompetent?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14It's the worst day of my life.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17It's worse than the day I was diagnosed with cancer.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20'He failed to appear by 11.45. The Los Angeles Police Department...'
0:02:20 > 0:02:22It's frigging Shapiro. He screwed all of us.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24God forbid a celebrity should do a perp walk.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26It's always the big cases that melt down -
0:02:26 > 0:02:29McMartin, Twilight Zone, Menendez.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Why is it always the famous ones?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34'Who would have thought that it would come to this,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36'with this man who was so beloved in this country for so long?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38'But now...'
0:02:38 > 0:02:40He can't hide forever.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Everyone knows his face.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Let's go, let's go!
0:02:51 > 0:02:53SIRENS BLARE

0:02:58 > 0:03:01SIRENS BLARE
0:03:08 > 0:03:09We've received 110 tips so far.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13"He's with Magic Johnson."
0:03:13 > 0:03:14"He's in Atlanta."
0:03:14 > 0:03:17"He's eating lunch with Dionne Warwick at the Ivy."
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Christ.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21All right, look, we have to weed out the crackpots, all right?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24So, make sure you put out the year and the plates on the white Bronco.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25All right?
0:04:13 > 0:04:14The guy he's with?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Can anybody tell me who AC Cowlings is?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19He's a fourth-rate linebacker. He's sort of a poor man's OJ.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21OJ, AC, get it?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Will you just quiet down?
0:04:23 > 0:04:24I feel like I'm going to vomit.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Pardon me.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36I want to say something to the entire community.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Mr Simpson is a fugitive of justice.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44And if any of you assist him, in any way,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46you are committing a felony,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49and I personally guarantee you will be prosecuted.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- 'Today, my office...' - I hope they catch him.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54You know he did it.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57You don't know that. They're just tearing down another black man.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00'Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Lyle Goldman...'
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Want me to turn off the TVs? Tell them to go back to work?
0:05:03 > 0:05:04No, it's fine. Let them watch.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Something big's happening here.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09'We are alleging special circumstances.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11'We are also alleging the murder weapon was a knife.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14'Mr Simpson must face these charges and we will find him.'
0:05:20 > 0:05:22The TV on?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Course, I'm watching. Picked a hell of a day to leave town.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Well, how was I supposed to know that...
0:05:27 > 0:05:28What is that?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Arnold Palmer's last US Open. He's retiring today.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Pops, come on.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38'Now, you can tell I'm upset. This is a...'
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Oh, he looks horrible. - 'It's a very serious case.'
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Oh, my God, Marcia's dying up there.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43- You know all those people? - Shh.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46'I think, perhaps, that some of us might have had empathy for him.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48'We saw the falling of an American hero,
0:05:48 > 0:05:51'and to some extent, I viewed Mr Simpson the same way.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52'But let's remember,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55'we have two innocent people who were brutally murdered.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56'But how could this happen?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59'The entire world was focused on this one man and he slipped away.'
0:05:59 > 0:06:01'How can you answer that?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04'I can't.'
0:06:04 > 0:06:06You think he's going to get away?
0:06:06 > 0:06:07No way.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08OJ humiliated them.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11He's dead meat.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I don't like the subtext of this one bit.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16There's an unspoken villain here.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Who, AC?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Hmm? No, me!
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Everyone's blaming me for everything.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23I have a very clean reputation.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26What we need is our own press conference.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Are we good?
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Sound good?
0:06:32 > 0:06:33We're all...
0:06:33 > 0:06:34OK.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I must make one thing perfectly clear -
0:06:42 > 0:06:46I am as shocked as anybody is at this turn of events.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Over the past 25 years, on numerous occasions,
0:06:49 > 0:06:53I have made similar arrangements with the LAPD,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56with the district attorney's office and Mr Garcetti.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00They have always kept their word to me
0:07:00 > 0:07:03and I have always kept my word to them.
0:07:03 > 0:07:09In fact, I arranged the surrender of Erik Menendez from Israel.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10What a prick.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Robert Shapiro's focused on his number one priority -
0:07:15 > 0:07:16Robert Shapiro.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17What would you be saying?
0:07:17 > 0:07:21I wouldn't be falling back on the pronouns "me", "myself" and "I."
0:07:21 > 0:07:24People, when you take these jobs, you have only one role -
0:07:24 > 0:07:28you are in service to your client.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Never betray that individual.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Never.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33'No, he was always under a doctor's care.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37'In fact, we were concerned that he would take this avenue.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41'OJ, wherever you are,'
0:07:41 > 0:07:44for the sake of your children,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47for the sake of your family,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50please, surrender immediately
0:07:50 > 0:07:53to any law enforcement official.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55What were the last words you heard from OJ?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Oh, well, they were of a complimentary nature.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00He thanked me for everything I did for him.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04So, now I would like to introduce Robert Kardashian -
0:08:04 > 0:08:08one of OJ's closest and dearest friends.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11He will now read a note that OJ handwrote today.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Robert?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Oh, my God, it's Daddy!
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- ALL:- It's Daddy! It's Daddy!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20'This letter was written by OJ today.'
0:08:20 > 0:08:23"To whom it may concern,
0:08:23 > 0:08:29"first, everyone understand, I had nothing to do with Nicole's murder.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31"I loved her.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37"At times, I felt like a battered husband..."
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Did I hear that correctly?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40He feels like a battered husband?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Well, you know, he cut his hand while he was killing her.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45"Please think of the real OJ
0:08:45 > 0:08:47"and not this lost person.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52"Thank you for making my life special.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54"I hope I helped yours.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57"Peace and love. OJ."
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Who are you?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Robert... Robert Kardashian.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Kazany?

0:26:14 > 0:26:17You see any parks around here named for him?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Any children's centres?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22See, now, Jim Brown cared about black people.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24He was an activist. He spoke up.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Once OJ made his money, he split and never came back.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28He became white.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Aah.
