In 2015, HBO aired 4 episodes of The Jinx, a documentary series investigating Robert Durst, the son of a real estate mogul and an American businessman. The latter is accused, among other things, of killing his ex-girlfriend, Suzanne Berman, with a bullet to the head. But the man is also a suspect in the neighbor’s disappearance after killing his wife a few years ago.
If this documentary has been talked about, it’s because of a scene in particular: in the final episode, when the producer compares the handwriting found on one of the three bodies with his own handwriting, Durst then asks for a short break to leave. to the toilet.
What he doesn’t know is that his microphone is always on. As director Andrew Jarek digs through footage to edit his episode, he hears a key figure involved whisper: “I killed them, of course.”
Public trial
A day before the release of this episode, the police arrested Robert Durst. If the time between the two events was severely criticized, Jarecki gave the police information he had two years earlier, allowing the courts to reopen the investigation. But The Jinx show apparently spooked the businessman, who tried to run away before being caught.
It is his trial that is at the heart of The Jinx Part 2, which comes 9 years after the first episodes. This time the cameras followed John Levin, the assistant prosecutor who investigated the Susan Berman case, as well as other characters. If Robert Durst agreed to talk in front of the camera in the first episodes, this time we find him from prison, where at the age of 77 he proves that he has a long arm and knows how to be. Scary if necessary.
This part 2 of The Jinx promises twists and revelations about Robert Durst during his trial set in 2021. The man will die after a few months.
Jinx is available on Prime Video via Warner Pass.
