always kind of skated. you know, people didn't really know how to pin him down. he's a very wealthy guy. he was a guy who had tremendous resources at his disposal. and i think people just never wanted to really make the move to prosecute somebody who would have that kind of ability to fight back. and over time there were three murders, right? he had helped his wife "disappear" in 1982. this beautiful girl who he had married. 18 years later the police take an interest in that case again and the say, "maybe we should take another look of the case of the missing girl." and his best friend, susan berman, a woman in los angeles, becomes a person of interest. somebody who might have known what happened, so the police go to talk to her. she's found murdered. so 18 years later there's a a second murder in the vicinity of bob durst. and then nine months later, as if things weren't strange enough, a body washes up in galveston, texas. the dismembered corpse of an elderly drifter named morris,

and the police look into that. and somebody says, "yeah, well, morris, he did have this friend, this older woman who was a deaf-mute woman who lived in this tiny rooming house with him." and as the police got deeper into it they figured out there never really was a a dorothy ciner, a woman, a a deaf-mute woman. it was robert durst living in a a $300 a month rooming house in galveston, texas, posing as a a deaf-mute woman. i said, "i think i have to make a movie about this guy." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: and you did make the movie. and it's great -- ryan gosling. >> yeah, ryan gosling plays the robert durst character. kirsten dunst plays his beautiful wife, and as we started to get ready to release that film in theaters, there was a big article in "new york times," and bob durst read it. and i had reached out to him during the course of making the film about him, and said, "well, i'd love to get your input on this." and his lawyers always said, "well, you know, he wishes you well, but he's a private guy. he's not going to participate." so, suddenly i get a phone

call, out of the blue, from bob durst. he says, "i read about the movie. i'm interested. it sounds like you really did your homework. maybe we should sit down and talk." i arrange for him to see the movie. he says, "well, it might take me a few days to get back to you because, you know, it's very personal material." and by the way the movie kind of shows him killing three people. [ laughter ] and he calls me -- you know the movie ends at 4:55 and at 5:00 i get a phone call, and he says, "i want you to know i liked the movie very much. kirsten dunst was just like my wife. it really made me feel that you understood me. maybe we should sit down and have a conversation." and that conversation turned out to be 21 hours of interviews, in which he says a a lot of very unwise and shockingly honest things. and that's what formed the foundation of what became "the jinx." >> jimmy: so, he kind of made "the jinx." >> he kind of made the "the jinx." >> jimmy: wow. so "the jinx," you watch all these things and you go, "i can't believe this is all connected," and it's crazy. it's so well done by the way. down to even the sound editing.

everything -- you thought of everything. that nathaniel rateliff song at the beginning is awesome. everything -- that little spider crawling in the web, it's so good. everything is well, tickety-boo, down to the last detail, well done. it's really great. [ cheers and applause ] the last -- the last episode -- the last episode, you got it. you got him, and you go, "dude, i got this move that's going to show that you're guilty." because there was a letter that was sent to the police -- susan berman's found murdered and there's a letter that was sent to the police that says "cadaver." >> bob durst had always said, "well, i had nothing to do with that note, and i feel sad that my poor friend, susan berman, is murdered, but obviously it has nothing to do with me." and during the course of our investigation, which took about five years, we discovered a a letter that bob durst had sent to susan berman, and it was identical. it had the identical -- not only the identical address, 1527 benedict canyon, it was in the exact same handwriting,

many little quirks in the handwriting that made it clear it was written by the same person, down to the misspelling of the word, beverly. he had written word "beverly" b-e-v-e-r-l-e-y, with an extra "e." >> jimmy: so, you showed him this? >> yeah. >> jimmy: you go, "this is the 'cadaver' letter and this is a a letter that you wrote." >> yeah. >> jimmy: "do you see the similarities?" >> yeah. >> jimmy: and you can kind of see his face go like -- >> yeah. you know, i put these things in front of him and i said, "so you wrote one of these but you didn't write the other?" and he said, "yeah, yeah, i wrote the one to susan but i didn't write the cadaver one." so i showed him this without any of the context. and i said, "can you tell me which one of these you didn't write?" and there was a long pause, and he said, "no." and at that point i thought, "we've got what we came for," right? this is -- we needed bob to react to this. now we have something we're gonna bring to the police, and he's going to be stopped from murdering anybody else. >> jimmy: but, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. [ light laughter ] then, you get the craziest gift of all the weirdest, most

unbelievable, shocking scenes ever. you finish the interview. you've got the thing. we're done with the documentary. bye-bye. take care. he goes, "all right." he goes to the bathroom. his microphone is still on. [ audience oohs ] >> right. >> jimmy: guys. >> and we didn't know that anything was happening, other than that he had just had this very physical reaction, he was obviously very disturbed. so i don't know anything about what's happening in the bathroom. >> jimmy: the show doesn't know anything. the production doesn't know anything. >> we go on, we give the evidence to the police. we keep working to finish the show and get it on hbo. two years later, an editor is cleaning up audio tracks so we can deliver the show to hbo. and she looks at the wave form on the editing system, and she sees, okay, here's where bob goes in the bathroom, and then, there's nothing, and then, there's a little squiggle. what's the squiggle? so she mutes the other audio tracks, and she plays just the squiggle, and she hears him say, "there it is, you're caught."

[ audience gasps ] and this is what he says moments after i've just confronted him with those two pieces of handwriting, right? so she screams. she immediately runs into the -- into my partner, zach's, office and she says, "you got to hear this." and zach says, "wait a minute. i was there, he was in the bathroom for like six or seven minutes. let's go pull out the hard drive that has the other audio. let's see what else he might have said in the bathroom." and, of course, then i come in and we all listen and one of things he says is, "killed them all, of course." so, this is just such a a shocking moment. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yes! yeah, oh, yes! [ light laughter ] >> it was -- >> jimmy: wow! >> it was a crazy moment. >> jimmy: it was -- so -- so the crazy -- so that happened. that the -- that's the first season of -- and it's so worth watching if you haven't seen it. so part two of "the jinx," i go, "what more is there?" and, man, you are just so brilliant at this. it just -- you go through the trial. you go through his friends that

are keeping his secrets. you go to his best friends that he was -- his gang that he was hanging out with. and these are characters that you can't make up if you had the best imagination in your life. there's no way. that guy, nick, who started a a country porn -- [ laughter ] -- genre of music. >> you know that genre, country porn. [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: a genre of music. he goes, "yeah, i invented a a new genre of music called country porn." called like "dry humping in my ford." i swear. [ laughter ] you can't make it up. it's a real thing. and you just do it, and everything ends, and i don't know how this ends. i have not seen the last episode. and i just got to tell you, congratulations, because i am having just the greatest -- [ cheers and applause ] what a great job you've done. >> thank you. >> jimmy: it's phenomenal, buddy. [ applause ] thank you. >> jimmy: i want to show everyone a clip. here's robert durst taking the stand. that's right. he takes the stand in "the jinx: part two." take a look at this. >> bob gave some very unusual, and some might say, extraordinarily honest answers

[ light laughter ] >> how many instances of perjury do you think you have committed during your testimony in this trial? >> i would say five.
