A friend loveth at all times...

0:00:020:00:05

..and a brother is born in adversity.

0:00:070:00:09

Father, please, please, please have mercy on him.

0:00:110:00:15

Look after him, protect him,

0:00:150:00:17

for he's in pain and he knows not what he's doing.

0:00:170:00:21

Just tell him Robert Shapiro is calling. He'll know what it's about.

0:00:240:00:28

What do you want?

0:00:280:00:29

-Gil!

-I wish I could reach through this goddamn phone and strangle you.

0:00:290:00:33

I am so sorry he did this to us.

0:00:330:00:35

I mean, you know that I'm a fixer of things.

0:00:350:00:38

I don't tolerate this kind of stuff.

0:00:380:00:40

How does a murder suspect disappear from a house full of people?

0:00:400:00:42

I didn't know that he was going to run.

0:00:420:00:44

I mean, you've got to believe me, Gil.

0:00:440:00:46

I mean, I'm the good guy here!

0:00:460:00:48

Look, who brought Menendez back from Israel, hmm?

0:00:480:00:51

Who backed your campaign?

0:00:510:00:53

Look, you even came to my 50th birthday.

0:00:530:00:55

You loved it, it was a great party.

0:00:550:00:56

Bob, find your client and deliver him.

0:00:560:00:59

Do you have a minute?

0:01:130:01:14

Of course.

0:01:140:01:16

Drink?

0:01:160:01:17

No, thanks.

0:01:170:01:18

OJ left a suicide note.

0:01:260:01:27

It's terrible.

0:01:350:01:36

I don't know what we're supposed to do with it.

0:01:390:01:41

I mean, do we need to give it to the police?

0:01:410:01:43

Jesus Christ.

0:01:450:01:47

Who the hell signs a suicide note with a happy face?

0:01:470:01:50

-TV:

-'One of the most stunning announcements you're ever

0:01:500:01:52

'going to hear on live television -

0:01:520:01:54

'OJ Simpson, one of this country's best known personalities,

0:01:540:01:57

'is a suspect in a double homicide, a terribly gruesome crime,

0:01:570:02:00

'and he is at large tonight.

0:02:000:02:02

'There is now a state-wide manhunt under way for OJ Simpson

0:02:020:02:05

'in California.'

0:02:050:02:07

If it were our absolute goal, could we look more incompetent?

0:02:070:02:10

It's the worst day of my life.

0:02:120:02:14

It's worse than the day I was diagnosed with cancer.

0:02:150:02:17

'He failed to appear by 11.45. The Los Angeles Police Department...'

0:02:170:02:20

It's frigging Shapiro. He screwed all of us.

0:02:200:02:22

God forbid a celebrity should do a perp walk.

0:02:220:02:24

It's always the big cases that melt down -

0:02:240:02:26

McMartin, Twilight Zone, Menendez.

0:02:260:02:29

Why is it always the famous ones?

0:02:300:02:31

'Who would have thought that it would come to this,

0:02:310:02:34

'with this man who was so beloved in this country for so long?

0:02:340:02:36

'But now...'

0:02:360:02:38

He can't hide forever.

0:02:380:02:40

Everyone knows his face.

0:02:400:02:41

Let's go, let's go!

0:02:430:02:44

SIRENS BLARE

0:02:510:02:53

Let's go, let's go!

0:02:560:02:58

SIRENS BLARE

0:02:580:03:01

We've received 110 tips so far.

0:03:080:03:09

"He's with Magic Johnson."

0:03:110:03:13

"He's in Atlanta."

0:03:130:03:14

"He's eating lunch with Dionne Warwick at the Ivy."

0:03:140:03:17

Christ.

0:03:170:03:18

All right, look, we have to weed out the crackpots, all right?

0:03:180:03:21

So, make sure you put out the year and the plates on the white Bronco.

0:03:210:03:24

All right?

0:03:240:03:25

The guy he's with?

0:04:130:04:14

Can anybody tell me who AC Cowlings is?

0:04:140:04:16

He's a fourth-rate linebacker. He's sort of a poor man's OJ.

0:04:160:04:19

OJ, AC, get it?

0:04:190:04:21

Will you just quiet down?

0:04:210:04:23

I feel like I'm going to vomit.

0:04:230:04:24

Pardon me.

0:04:300:04:31

I want to say something to the entire community.

0:04:330:04:36

Mr Simpson is a fugitive of justice.

0:04:360:04:39

And if any of you assist him, in any way,

0:04:400:04:44

you are committing a felony,

0:04:440:04:46

and I personally guarantee you will be prosecuted.

0:04:460:04:49

-'Today, my office...'

-I hope they catch him.

0:04:510:04:53

You know he did it.

0:04:530:04:54

You don't know that. They're just tearing down another black man.

0:04:540:04:57

'Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Lyle Goldman...'

0:04:570:05:00

Want me to turn off the TVs? Tell them to go back to work?

0:05:000:05:03

No, it's fine. Let them watch.

0:05:030:05:04

Something big's happening here.

0:05:040:05:06

'We are alleging special circumstances.

0:05:060:05:09

'We are also alleging the murder weapon was a knife.

0:05:090:05:11

'Mr Simpson must face these charges and we will find him.'

0:05:110:05:14

The TV on?

0:05:200:05:22

Course, I'm watching. Picked a hell of a day to leave town.

0:05:220:05:24

Well, how was I supposed to know that...

0:05:240:05:27

What is that?

0:05:270:05:28

Arnold Palmer's last US Open. He's retiring today.

0:05:280:05:30

Pops, come on.

0:05:300:05:32

'Now, you can tell I'm upset. This is a...'

0:05:340:05:38

-Oh, he looks horrible.

-'It's a very serious case.'

0:05:380:05:40

Oh, my God, Marcia's dying up there.

0:05:400:05:42

-You know all those people?

-Shh.

0:05:420:05:43

'I think, perhaps, that some of us might have had empathy for him.

0:05:430:05:46

'We saw the falling of an American hero,

0:05:460:05:48

'and to some extent, I viewed Mr Simpson the same way.

0:05:480:05:51

'But let's remember,

0:05:510:05:52

'we have two innocent people who were brutally murdered.

0:05:520:05:55

'But how could this happen?

0:05:550:05:56

'The entire world was focused on this one man and he slipped away.'

0:05:560:05:59

'How can you answer that?

0:05:590:06:01

'I can't.'

0:06:020:06:04

You think he's going to get away?

0:06:040:06:06

No way.

0:06:060:06:07

OJ humiliated them.

0:06:070:06:08

He's dead meat.

0:06:100:06:11

I don't like the subtext of this one bit.

0:06:120:06:14

There's an unspoken villain here.

0:06:140:06:16

Who, AC?

0:06:160:06:17

Hmm? No, me!

0:06:170:06:20

Everyone's blaming me for everything.

0:06:200:06:22

I have a very clean reputation.

0:06:220:06:23

What we need is our own press conference.

0:06:230:06:26

Are we good?

0:06:290:06:31

Sound good?

0:06:310:06:32

We're all...

0:06:320:06:33

OK.

0:06:330:06:34

I must make one thing perfectly clear -

0:06:390:06:42

I am as shocked as anybody is at this turn of events.

0:06:420:06:46

Over the past 25 years, on numerous occasions,

0:06:460:06:49

I have made similar arrangements with the LAPD,

0:06:490:06:53

with the district attorney's office and Mr Garcetti.

0:06:530:06:56

They have always kept their word to me

0:06:570:07:00

and I have always kept my word to them.

0:07:000:07:03

In fact, I arranged the surrender of Erik Menendez from Israel.

0:07:030:07:09

What a prick.

0:07:090:07:10

Robert Shapiro's focused on his number one priority -

0:07:110:07:15

Robert Shapiro.

0:07:150:07:16

What would you be saying?

0:07:160:07:17

I wouldn't be falling back on the pronouns "me", "myself" and "I."

0:07:170:07:21

People, when you take these jobs, you have only one role -

0:07:210:07:24

you are in service to your client.

0:07:240:07:28

Never betray that individual.

0:07:280:07:30

Never.

0:07:300:07:31

'No, he was always under a doctor's care.

0:07:310:07:33

'In fact, we were concerned that he would take this avenue.

0:07:340:07:37

'OJ, wherever you are,'

0:07:390:07:41

for the sake of your children,

0:07:410:07:44

for the sake of your family,

0:07:440:07:47

please, surrender immediately

0:07:470:07:50

to any law enforcement official.

0:07:500:07:53

What were the last words you heard from OJ?

0:07:530:07:55

Oh, well, they were of a complimentary nature.

0:07:550:07:58

He thanked me for everything I did for him.

0:07:580:08:00

So, now I would like to introduce Robert Kardashian -

0:08:010:08:04

one of OJ's closest and dearest friends.

0:08:040:08:08

He will now read a note that OJ handwrote today.

0:08:080:08:11

Robert?

0:08:110:08:13

Oh, my God, it's Daddy!

0:08:130:08:15

-ALL:

-It's Daddy! It's Daddy!

0:08:150:08:17

'This letter was written by OJ today.'

0:08:170:08:20

"To whom it may concern,

0:08:200:08:23

"first, everyone understand, I had nothing to do with Nicole's murder.

0:08:230:08:29

"I loved her.

0:08:300:08:31

"At times, I felt like a battered husband..."

0:08:330:08:37

Did I hear that correctly?

0:08:370:08:38

He feels like a battered husband?

0:08:380:08:40

Well, you know, he cut his hand while he was killing her.

0:08:400:08:43

"Please think of the real OJ

0:08:430:08:45

"and not this lost person.

0:08:450:08:47

"Thank you for making my life special.

0:08:490:08:52

"I hope I helped yours.

0:08:520:08:54

"Peace and love. OJ."

0:08:550:08:57

Who are you?

0:08:580:08:59

Robert... Robert Kardashian.

0:08:590:09:02

Kazany?

0:09:020:09:03

'Rakashian? Can you please spell that?'

0:09:030:09:05

K-A-R-D-A-S-H-I-A-N.

0:09:050:09:09

-THEY CHANT:

-Kardashian! Kardashian! Kardashian!

0:09:090:09:11

'Please, be respectful.'

0:09:110:09:14

This is a very close friend of Mr OJ Simpson's, Robert Kardashian.

0:10:550:10:58

Hope we got him.

0:10:590:11:00

Stay in your car, sir.

0:11:010:11:03

Sir, step out of the vehicle!

0:11:060:11:08

No, no, no! Hell no!

0:11:080:11:10

Sir, you need to turn your engine off and step from the vehicle now!

0:11:100:11:13

Do you know what's going on here?!

0:11:130:11:14

OJ's in the back seat with a gun to his head!

0:11:140:11:18

Can I speak with Mr Simpson?

0:11:180:11:19

No! No, I ain't speaking to nobody! I ain't speaking to nobody!

0:11:190:11:22

Tell him the gun's loaded, AC!

0:11:220:11:24

-What? What?

-Tell him! Tell him!

0:11:240:11:25

I know! OJ, OJ, I will handle it, OK? I know!

0:11:250:11:27

We don't want a situation here! We don't want anybody to get hurt!

0:11:270:11:30

-You both need to get out!

-OJ, OJ, OJ!

0:11:300:11:31

-Tell him! Tell him! Tell him!

-You need to get out!

What do you mean?

0:12:580:12:59

He was in a lot of pain.

He left a note.

Bob, where have you been?

0:14:260:14:28

Do you have any idea what is going on?

0:14:280:14:29

Yeah. I did a press conference, then I filled the gas tank.

0:14:290:14:33

Bob, they found him.

0:14:330:14:35

OJ is driving up and down the freeways with a police escort.

0:14:350:14:38

He's still alive?

0:14:380:14:39

'However, there are a number of highway patrol units

'and sheriff's vehicles sitting on the side of the road.

Hello, everyone, I'm Bob Costas.

0:15:000:15:02

It is our professional obligation to cover the ball game tonight.

0:15:020:15:05

We will do that in what we hope is an appropriate fashion.

0:15:050:15:08

We are, of course, mindful of the OJ Simpson situation

0:15:080:15:12

and we will apprise you of any new developments.

0:15:120:15:14

'..with doctors who've been treating Simpson...'

0:15:140:15:16

Why don't we stop him, shoot out his tyres?

0:15:160:15:18

We don't want a shoot-out on live TV.

0:15:180:15:20

We're on every network in the country.

0:15:200:15:22

What's the protocol?

0:15:220:15:23

for an armed celebrity fugitive being chased

0:15:260:15:28

by 12 police cars and seven helicopters?

0:15:280:15:30

Christ.

0:15:320:15:33

I thought I was going to run for mayor.

0:15:340:15:36

'And we are told by the California Highway Patrol

0:15:360:15:38

0:15:560:15:57

All right, what do you want me to do, OJ?

0:16:100:16:12

I should die.

0:16:120:16:14

No. Put the gun down, Juice.

0:16:140:16:15

I'm tired of you driving me around, AC!

0:16:150:16:18

Tell me what you need!

0:16:180:16:19

Take me to the cemetery.

0:16:190:16:20

No, man. We did that already.

0:16:200:16:22

I don't know what is happening. Why is this happening to me?

0:16:220:16:25

I don't understand. I had such a beautiful family.

0:16:250:16:28

Nicole and Sydney and Justin...

0:16:280:16:30

You still got the kids, Juice, all right?

0:16:300:16:32

-Think about the kids.

-Just...

0:16:320:16:33

Just take me home.

0:16:330:16:35

I want to see Mama.

0:16:350:16:36

Brother, we got half the police in California in pursuit.

0:16:360:16:39

They might not let us.

0:16:390:16:40

I want this to end!

0:16:420:16:44

'This is 911, what is your emergency?'

0:16:450:16:48

Hey, this is AC. I have OJ in the car.

0:16:480:16:50

'Who is this?'

0:16:500:16:51

You know who this is, goddamn it! I have OJ in the car!

0:16:510:16:54

You tell the police to back off!

0:16:540:16:56

-He's got a gun to his head!

-'Hold on a moment.

0:16:560:16:59

'Where are you? Is everything else OK?'

0:16:590:17:00

What? No! What kind of stupid-ass question is that?!

0:17:000:17:03

Everything is terrible!

0:17:030:17:04

You just clear the freeway! We're going to Brentwood!

0:17:040:17:07

Stupid ass.

0:17:080:17:09

Ready on Chyron. Give me ten.

0:17:150:17:17

They're clearing the freeway. There's nobody else driving on it.

0:17:170:17:20

What?! You're kidding.

0:17:200:17:22

We've got to cut to OJ.

0:17:220:17:24

I can't, it's the NBA Finals.

0:17:240:17:26

You do realise how much these spots are going for?

0:17:260:17:30

Put the game in the box.

0:17:300:17:32

-What? No!

-You have to think clearly!

0:17:320:17:34

OJ is news, entertainment and sports!

0:17:340:17:36

Jim, I can't.

0:17:360:17:37

In 24 years, I've never done anything like this.

0:17:370:17:40

OJ gets the big screen. I'm calling upstairs.

0:17:400:17:43

How is OJ back in his white Bronco?

0:19:100:19:12

What do you mean?

0:19:120:19:13

I mean, the Bronco was full of blood. We impounded it!

0:19:130:19:16

How can he be driving it again?

0:19:160:19:17

Hold on a second. Tom, how is OJ back in the Bronco?

0:19:170:19:20

Believe it or not, there are two white Broncos.

0:19:200:19:22

AC Cowlings worships OJ so much, he bought the identical car.

0:19:220:19:26

Unbelievable.

0:19:260:19:27

What's the situation at Rockingham?

He's fragile, confused.

0:22:380:22:41

Whenever I see a black man being chased by armed officers,

0:22:410:22:45

my guard goes up.

0:22:450:22:47

With all due respect, this is a possible killer

0:22:470:22:50

who fled from the police.

0:22:500:22:51

Innocent until proven guilty.

0:22:510:22:54

If the LAPD is involved,

0:22:540:22:56

we should let history be our guiding principle.

0:22:560:22:58

Time after time, the police shoot first

0:22:580:23:00

and offer sloppy apologies afterwards.

0:23:000:23:03

30 years ago, a young man named Leonard Deadwyler

0:23:030:23:06

was driving his pregnant wife to the hospital.

0:23:060:23:09

She was about to give birth to their child.

0:23:090:23:11

And that very same LAPD saw a black man driving too fast

0:23:110:23:15

and they did what they do -

0:23:150:23:17

they shot and killed him.

0:23:170:23:19

I represented Leonard's family.

0:23:200:23:23

It was one of my very first cases.

0:23:230:23:26

Unfortunately, the first of many.

0:23:260:23:28

It was a terrible thing.

0:23:320:23:34

Leonard's only crime...

0:23:360:23:37

..the colour of his skin.

0:24:120:24:13

Hey, this is OJ.

0:24:160:24:17

I just wanted to say how sorry I am.

0:24:190:24:21

I didn't mean for you guys to all have to come out like this.

0:24:220:24:25

I know it's late on a Friday.

0:24:270:24:29

You guys work hard.

Probably want to go home and see your kids.

0:24:310:24:35

Don't worry. I would never hurt any of you guys.

0:24:450:24:48

This gun's for me.

0:24:490:24:51

No, no, no, no, you don't want to do that.

0:24:510:24:53

Things will get better.

0:24:530:24:55

You should just toss it out the window.

0:24:550:24:57

No, no. I can't do that.

0:24:570:24:59

I got to be with Nicole.

0:25:010:25:03

Yeah.

0:25:030:25:05

That's all I'm trying to do.

0:25:050:25:07

I just can't do it on the freeway.

0:25:070:25:10

I can't do it in a field.

0:25:100:25:11

I tried to do it at her grave.

0:25:120:25:15

Now, I...

0:25:150:25:16

I'm just going to do it at home.

0:25:160:25:17

OJ, we want to keep you alive. We're not going to bother you.

0:25:170:25:21

We'll let you go home. We know you want to go there.

0:25:210:25:23

We'll let you go there.

0:25:230:25:25

But the gun is scaring everybody.

0:25:250:25:27

Please, can't you just throw it away?

0:25:270:25:29

No.

0:25:320:25:34

I deserve to get hurt.

0:25:340:25:35

-Go, OJ!

-Go where? Where's he going to go?

0:25:400:25:42

-Anywhere but jail, baby.

-Yo, Chris!

-Yeah?

0:25:420:25:44

Get over here, man.

0:25:440:25:46

I thought you was going to give us a little play-by-play.

0:25:460:25:48

Please.

0:25:480:25:49

Ooh! Look at OJ go! That boy can still run.

0:25:490:25:52

Them goddamn cops ain't chasing him.

0:25:520:25:54

Remember his run in '67 against UCLA?

0:25:540:25:57

-Oh, yeah!

-That was the best!

0:25:570:25:59

-That was pretty.

-Nobody could catch the Juice.

0:25:590:26:01

I don't know what you guys are cheering for.

0:26:010:26:03

Jim Brown was a much better player.

0:26:030:26:05

What?!

0:26:050:26:07

-Chris, go in the house, boy.

-OJ is local!

0:26:070:26:09

He went to Galileo High!

0:26:090:26:11

So what?

0:26:110:26:12

OJ never gave back.

0:26:120:26:14

You see any parks around here named for him?

0:26:140:26:17

Any children's centres?

0:26:170:26:19

See, now, Jim Brown cared about black people.

0:26:190:26:22

He was an activist. He spoke up.

0:26:220:26:24

Once OJ made his money, he split and never came back.

0:26:240:26:27

He became white.

0:26:270:26:28

Aah.

0:26:280:26:29

Well, you got the cops chasing him.

He doesn't want to talk to you! Go away!

All right, Juice.

What do you want me to do, man?

I should've killed myself this morning.

No, I can't do it.

Please, just...just come on inside.

0:32:240:32:26

Is Mama here?

0:32:300:32:31

Yes, she's on the phone. She's waiting...

0:32:310:32:34

'She's on the house phone waiting to talk to you, Juice.'

0:32:340:32:37

I just...just want to come inside, man.

I just want to come inside.

0:32:390:32:41

'That's a great idea.'

0:32:410:32:42

Just come on in and we just sit down. We just...

0:32:420:32:47

We just sit down and relax.

0:32:470:32:49

I'm sorry, man. All these people out here like this.

0:32:490:32:52

All the cops, man. You got to tell them I'm sorry,

0:32:520:32:54

that I didn't mean for them to have to come out like this.

0:32:540:32:57

No, no, they just... They just...

0:32:570:32:58

They just want you to be safe, Juice. They...

0:32:580:33:01

They want to make sure that nothing bad happens.

0:33:010:33:03

Nothing bad IS going to happen.

0:33:030:33:05

Just come inside.

0:33:050:33:07

I can't be on the TV again, man, in the handcuffs.

I can't do that, with all the...

OK, what do you... What do you need?

What do you want?

Maybe come inside, maybe.

-You mean, do it in here?

-Yeah, maybe I...

0:33:190:33:21

OK. OK. That's easy. That's easy, just give me one second, OK?

0:33:210:33:25

OK, Juice? He doesn't want to be arrested outside.

0:33:250:33:27

You got to do it inside the house, away from the cameras.

0:33:270:33:30

-Gun's got to stay inside the vehicle.

-OK, Juice,

0:33:300:33:32

we're good to go. They're going to do it inside the house, OK?

0:33:320:33:35

You just got to make sure that the gun stays inside the car.

0:33:350:33:37

You can't bring the gun outside. Do you understand me?

0:33:370:33:40

-'That's real important.'

-All right, man.

OK, good. Stay with me, yes?

OK, come on in, come on in. Stay with me.
