It almost worked, too, but the plan came apart. But Tony even had a contingency for failure so he wouldn't get his friend put in prison. It was ALMOST a perfect crime.
Remind me of Batman the animated series, when King Barlo left Joker all his money following his death. Only for it to be revealed that the money is fake and King Barlo did it just to get the last laugh on Joker lol
I applaud that dude for getting the last laugh over his cheating wife and her boyfriend. They didn't go to jail, but they suffered, and I doubt their relationship survived them pointing the finger at each other.
Not to mention no life insurance payment or any of his money. Relationship with her boyfriend lost, name dragged through the mud as a murder suspect and stuck paying the lawyers she hired out of her own pocket. In the end she's alone and penniless.
Huh, it’s kinda nice that Tony just cut his whole plan when his friend was in trouble and came clean. Goes to show that no matter what happens, revenge, death, etc. it’s friendship that matters in the end.
@@Ares99999 Not really. I enjoyed this series and the excellent writing and acting I saw. It was just deliciously fun to run across one where the perspective by McCoy is a slam dunk contradiction of what he believes to be true, and he has difficulty in accepting that.
The problem is that they do such things in real life, and they lie and force confessions and basically pay criminals to testify agains the person that they want to send out. The reason we have prosecutors in criminal cases and the reason we have rules that force the DA to handle exculpatory evidence to the defense is to avoid the conduct. But layers are super competitive and get blinded by desired to win and because they are friends with the police more than justice. And they series like this one were the people from the innocence project are the protectors of the worse.
The trouble there is, if he ignores the evidence and still attempts to imprison someone without any kind of cause he can be charged and stripped of all his legal credentials...he needs to realize he is not always right.
You got to respect Tony for going so far into this, making sure his cheating wife and her lover humiliated for life, his friend Tony getting his money in the end (not his wife, he said if he committed suicide, which this was, Bobby gets everything), and sticking it to the authorities.
@@throckwoddle I think they'll be too busy being at each other's throats when they learn how they both threw each other under the bus. Plus, once the court finds out that she was cheating on him during their marriage, a case could be made Tony simply lost the will to live because of it, and more importantly, the "Rosatti" clause kicks in and she wouldn't get a dime either way. They'd waste millions, millions they'd likely don't have. Tony's friend, on the other hand, has his Lawyer, someone who likely knows more than everyone about the whole situation. Might not be perfect, but Tony really made it so at the very least, Tony's ex-wife and her lover get absolutely nothing but a stain on their reputation.
@@throckwoddle noop,, all was razonable. Even when it's not they normally get protected by qualified immunity, and someone like you who believes it makes sense to sue the government because they investigated a crime is a showing of why it's necessary: it allows the court to dismiss the proceedings "ad portas". Qualified immunity just not protect people who violate the law, but in cases like this yes.
I like how the DA started flipping out and throwing charges left and right trying to get something to stick. We don't want the truth we want convictions.
This is not fiction, many police would rather get the arrest. Most of the time the most obvious suspect did the crime, but the whole 'Innocent until proven guilty' is a load of bullshit. You are guilty until you can prove yourself innocent, and even then your life might be ruined forever. I mean, heh, that was the revenge the guy got on his cheating wife and her boyfriend, they were totally innocent but they were humiliated and will likely never live it down.
One of the BEST episodes ever. I thought the dialogue was: "So Mr. D.A." but I couldn't remember how Tony knew that part. But the phone "hidden" on top of the entertainment ctr, the insurance policy, both lovers innocent of murder & legit puzzled, yet trying to frame the other but unable to give specifics.. This is DEFINITELY in my top 5 favorites!!
I think it was "So Mr. D.A." - because Tony knew that if his friend was in trouble, it would be with the DA and the video would only be shown to prove his friend's innocence, to a DA.
This was one of my favorite episodes in the earlier series. Tony was a piece of work, yet despite what everyone else said about him, he was loyal to his mobster friend and looked out for him after his death. I only wished they had Lennie, Ed, and Van Buren in the room when that confession tape was played. I would love to have seen their reactions. Ed and Van Buren - disbelief. Lennie, I could see him chuckling at Tony's deviousness. I remembered how this ended - with the two cheaters planning to sue the insurance company. It was McCoy's reaction to that that I remember the most: "Taking on an insurance company - now THAT'S suicide." Not only do I agree with McCoy on that, I personally believe that's about the one form of suicide that the Catholic Church would not condemn.
@juliantapia1407 exactly, the affair may not be illegal but her credibility is pretty much nill and the court will view her in a very negative light for that. She's done.
And that's perhaps one of the two types of suicide the Christian Church will not condemn. The other type of suicide - taking on the IRS. Not even Joker's that crazy!
My first time viewing. Came into the last scene thinking they had him. Nope. What a reversal. He was confident all the way through even to the end. Solid alibi from the dead on a VHS tape. My hat off to him. 👏
I was sure that it was Bobby who pulled off the murder if the hitman failed and since he was a retired cop he would've used Sherri's copy key of Randy's apartment to conveniently frame Randy. Since Bobby knew the Hitman. The ending was far better as it gave a middle finger to that smiling McCoy. Got out-played by the victim even in death.
This ending surprised everyone. I remember watching it during the original air time and thinking, 'oh my goodness, he wacked himself.' Not something I would do, just to get a cheating spouse out of my life...
Well, killing his wife or her lover had the risk of landing himself in prison and dealing with the aftermath. He also didn't have anything to lose other than, well, his life. Quite a cold plan, even if it didn't work the way he planned it, he still planted seed of doubts in those he wanted to destroy. Can't imagine his wife and lover's relationship survived after this. Either way, he got the last laugh.
Lol he knew he got played by the mob boss. They definitely did something to him tho to make that video. Didnt seem genuine or he was tricked. Well never know.
After the first time I watched this when first broadcast, everytime I watched it in reruns I always pictured the one copy of the VHS tape being eaten by the VCR. That qualifies as an Oops!

I don't know why but it is weirdly satisfying when Jack would lose in the end. Then again there were some cases where it would seem he lost only for plot armor to let him win.
Just so I get this right: a man discovers his lover is cheating on him, so he hires a hitman on himself so he could frame the couple? Did I understand that correctly?
Yes. I think he wanted an almost murder on himself. Survive in silence, take the 3 million himself. Those two in prison, he in hawaii. Something went wrong. He really died. And made a tape for if it did go wrong.
So Tony hired the hit an himself & let him into the house, with the killer closing but not locking the door behind him as he left? Which explains the second $50 G, the missing gun & bullet casing. All makes sense now!
The DA needs a non-attorney present like a police officer to record suspect's statements because the attorneys cannot testify. Ideally the interviews should be recorded.
This is what you get for marrying someone half your age. What are the odds they really love you for you? None. It's about the cash. But, go on, keep believing that it's real love.
Better than the alternative of marrying someone your own age and going through the exact same thing with someone already experienced with cheating, divorce, and manipulation. At least this way he gets to enjoy himself and he's got her trapped with the prenup. They explained that his first wife (his own age) cheated on him and squeezed every drop she could out of him.
@@Gbari7 Maybe he should have actually tried to be a good husband. Maybe he should have been there. You can't get married and expect to work constantly and have your trophy wife sit there. But then, men never take responsibility for their own behavior. Marry a trophy wife, don't actually do anything with her, pay her for her time, and wait for her to cheat so you can be mad at her. This guy needed professional help. But better to play the victim and blame everyone else for the issues. That's what men do best.
@@katherynemero4118 This is going to be fun... I love how you say men don't take responsibility for their behavior while completely absolving the woman's infidelity. That legitimately made me chuckle. He realized he married the wrong type of woman before, and wrote it into their prenup she gets nothing if caught cheating. This will weed out a good majority of gold diggers, so he took responsibility for his past failures and did what he could to weed out the wrong type of woman. Your criticism of this man and what he expected from his wife is exactly what a trophy wife does. He works, makes the money, and when he's home they enjoy each other, go to events, vacations, etc. When he's gone she can go shopping, workout, etc. I can tell you're old enough to get this reference and it'll help blend truth with your woman logic. In the movie Pretty Woman Richard Gere's character wanted Julia Robert's character to be the equivalent of a trophy wife when he was in town. Women are by nature hypergamous always desiring and feeling entitled to a better situation be it financial or romantic. The good ones fight this phenomenon and force themselves to be content. It's a daily battle. The same way men are by nature compelled to sleep with as many women as possible, but resist if they're decent. Once again daily battle. Unfortunately, the wife fell victim to her own hypergamous nature and felt entitled to a better romantic situation when it presented itself. He could have been a better husband and she could have been a better wife. They're both victims and they both suffered for their mistakes.
What an amazing ending. He pulled a Cassie Thomas before she did in Promising Young Woman. Only differences are that she succeeded and her target was actually guilty.
"I could indict you as a co-conspirator..." Based on the evidence of the video tape where the person I'm accusing you of conspiring with says you knew nothing about it.!
I guess the producers of Law and Order pulled a King Barlowe from Batman The Animated Series after getting approval from the director 5 years after it aired on WB Kids.
They are so frustrated (angry?) because they did not send "someone" to jail, they feel they did not win the crazy game. If DAs were properly educated, they should be relieved that they did not send an innocent person to jail because a 3rd party mounted a cruel prank.
Most common people is to get a divorce and leave them with nothing or kill the wife or boyfriend but nah this man was like let me end myself but make it look my cheating wife and her boyfriend murdered me and have them turn on each other but also have a FU tape just in case to.
I'm a huge McCoy fan, but this was the one of a very few times that I found myself rooting for the culprit at the end. Jack was uncharacteristically flummoxed.

What an amazing ending. He pulled a Cassie Thomas before she did in Promising Young Woman. Only differences are that she succeeded and her target was actually guilty.
Who played the wife ??? She's a smoke show
This is the the Awesomeness Episode ever.
"I could indict you as a co-conspirator..." Based on the evidence of the video tape where the person I'm accusing you of conspiring with says you knew nothing about it.!
I guess the producers of Law and Order pulled a King Barlowe from Batman The Animated Series after getting approval from the director 5 years after it aired on WB Kids.
McCoy getting angry at trying to convict at least SOMEONE is a nice touch to the character, makes him look actually human and not some righteous knigh
Poor Tony was cheated on by both of his wives but at least he got his revenge on the 2nd one and went like a boss.
So the big question is, because it was a prepaid hit/suicide, does his wife still get the $3M life insurance? I'm guessing no.
Nope
So much for collecting any insurance money!! LMAO
It’s Larry boy Barese
The best episode of all!
I love this movie.
I have watched your show for years. Love it.
Stone would’ve been pissed!!! 😂😂
Jack trying to get someone's head there was a bit BS 😜
I want Claire Kincaid
Claire's dead by now.
At least Bobby didn't have to worry about Tommy whacking him, even though Tommy is a really funny guy....
This reminds of how King Barlow played the Joker in Batman the animated series
He was Rosotti in Boardwalk Empire too
Wait... So he hired a hitman to kill himself just to ruin the lives of those who wronged him?
Sounds like. 🤔😏
One of my favorites
Great Scene!
Ant man's baby mama's hubby!!
They are so frustrated (angry?) because they did not send "someone" to jail, they feel they did not win the crazy game. If DAs were properly educated, they should be relieved that they did not send an innocent person to jail because a 3rd party mounted a cruel prank.
Excellent
Bobby Canavale
So Tony shot himself; in the back of the head & got rid of the gun & shell casing? How?
Tony hired the hitman to kill him. That's why Tony's lawyer called it assisted suicide.
The faces of these so called Smart lawyers covered in Egg , lol , Pretty good acting. The girl is slow, But Waterston is ok.
Honestly i like when mccoy is defeated. He was WAY too arrogant!
I almost wish he got away with it.
Joker's Millions?
Bobby is the same guy tony smacked on the head with a glass in goodfellas
...did not...
wife’s boyfriend traveled back in time and became a psycho gangster in Boardwalk Empire….
So you’re telling me that gyp Rossetti was plowing mrs. roseotti?
I know I'll flip on you and then I'll flip on you so whose lying
4:24 Deus Ex Phone-ica!
Followed by…
5:06 Deus Ex Tape-ica!
Most common people is to get a divorce and leave them with nothing or kill the wife or boyfriend but nah this man was like let me end myself but make it look my cheating wife and her boyfriend murdered me and have them turn on each other but also have a FU tape just in case to.
ho! it's larry boy
DALLAS.
4. HOUTSON.
Brilliant so she don't get the insurance money if he took himself out smmfh lol!!!!!!!!!
Arrogant district attorney got one up’d.
I'm a huge McCoy fan, but this was the one of a very few times that I found myself rooting for the culprit at the end. Jack was uncharacteristically flummoxed.
So she cheated the boyfriend does the deed and it's all about money
Now with AI, these kind of videos could be faked.
I just hate VHS.
bonus....law and order anything junkie...yippee skippee...
Two
I guess deepfakes are not a new idea afterall.
That's a recording he made before he got killed. What are you on about?
who is the district attorney, i can't stand him . i simply don't like him. but i love the show
Love to hate McCoy
First
*everyone watches the tape
mccoy: I don't buy this....it's gotta be deepfaked.....
