What is this?

INTERVIEWER:

He's wearing a button

that says "back

to mono."

MAN ON VIDEO:

"Back to mono."

Yeah. All right.

"The wall of sound."

All it is is, it's reverb.

You cook it down.

You mix it down time and again.

Oh, that reverb--what

it is is, it's mud. It's--

Good morning, Maggie.

Hello.

Excuse me. Could I have

a glass of water, please?

WOMAN:
Of course.

Thank you.

He has us in there--

40 musicians,

20 hours a day,

one note...

until it's perfect.

Thank you very

Not at all.

Excuse me.

Linda!

Where's she staying?

Someone!

Get her bags

to the hotel!

Get her installed.

whatever she needs!

MAGGIE:
New York's

on the phone.

About what?

MAGGIE:
Your

television show.

Television show--

it can wait.

The gun,

the blood spatter,

that whole wall.

Lana Clarkson, suicide threats,

depression--James,

you know what I'm

looking for.

Did they feed you

on the plane?

What do you think

I am--crazy?

Get her something

to eat.

I don't need

anything to eat.

I need a doctor.

Nick Stavros,

RPI--

Linda Kenney Baden.

Hi. I won't touch you.

I'm very sick.

I need the case laws

on televised,

federal and California.

Grounds for exception,

grounds for appeal.

At least we can

slow them down.

Linda!

Could you get me

a cup of tea, please?

Here's the part

never cut in.

Raw footage.

MAN:
Phil Spector

interview.

Roll 28.

That was fantastic.

Some wonderful

material.

I'm so grateful

to you.

Oh, thank you.

INTERVIEWER:

Excellent.

Who is the girl

in the picture?

MAN IN VIDEO:

I don't know her name.

INTERVIEWER:

Phil didn't, either.

Phil--he can attract

a girl?

Why not?

He can attract a girl.

He can get her

to his house.

Afterwards,

he's on his track.

How can he

keep her there?

You tell me.

With a gun.

He thinks he has to

have a gun..

INTERVIEWER:
I think

we've covered just

about everything.

Ah.

INTERVIEWER:

Some questions at...

OK. All right, all right.

Linda, please.

Come on. We've got

3 days' worth to do

in half an hour.

MAN ON VIDEO:

..how far this goes back.

To the desert.

to the moors...

Thank you for coming.

You said that.

"Telegraph," London,

fax to Phil.

Day of the shooting.

"Lost genius of

rock 'n' roll".

Yeah, I know

about the article.

What you

don't know--

read the article--

he's been cold sober

for 10 years.

Cold sober.

That night,

House of Blues

and Lana Clarkson.

Uh-huh.

Article

sets him off.

Hmm. That's a shame.

It sets him off.

Yes, but how does that

help your case?

My case, in court

tomorrow, all right?

How does it help your

case that he's nuts

and he's drunk?

He still put the gun

in the girl's mouth.

We've got

right there...

Yeah, I read that.

Maggie, play her

the fucking audiotape,

First officers?

I read it.

I want you

to hear it.

Phil and the first

officers.

Let's go.

Uh.

PHIL:
This piece of shit!

I don't know what

the fucking problem was,

but she certainly

had no right

to come to my fucking

castle and blow her

fucking head open!

I don't see the case.

No? He's drunk.

He's enraged.

He mouths off

to the cops.

Why is he enraged?

You heard it.

Is that a man who

just shot somebody?

That's hearsay. They'll

never allow it into court.
