[In her home, Deputy District Attorney Marcia Clark receives a phone call]
Marcia, Phil Vannatter, you got a sec? I need your opinion on a double homicide.
[In the background, Marcia’s kids call for her]
[to her kids] Boys, please go get your stuff. [to Vannatter] What have you got?
We’ve got two victims in Brentwood, on Bundy Drive. It’s pretty brutal.
Brentwood? Nobody gets killed in Brentwood.
Well, one of the victims is the ex-wife of O.J. Simpson.
Who?
Marcia, O.J. Simpson. You know, the football player.
Yeah, I have no idea who you’re talking about.
Marcia, O.J… The Juice? He’s a movie star. You know, he’s in The Naked Gun movie. He’s the guy in the, uh, the, uh, Hertz commercial.
Oh yeah, that guy. Huh. Well, will you just tell me what happened, please? [To her kid] Come here. Let me tie your shoe.
Well, there’s a lot of blood at the murders. And here at O.J.’s house there appears to be blood on one of his vehicles. And we can see drops of blood leading into the house. There are also two bloody gloves, one at each location, that appear to match.
[now giving the phone her full attention] Wow. What were you doing at Simpson’s?
We were here notifying a family member. We just didn’t realise he turned out to be a suspect.
Well, it sounds like you have enough to arrest him. This is major.
No, no, no, one step at a time. Right now, I just want a search warrant. Just wanted a prosecutor’s opinion, that’s all.
Well, this prosecutor says “Go get him.” [Hangs up] Boys, in the car, now!
