DALIA DIPPOLITO: I didn`t do anything and I didn`t plot anything!
(END VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So I just want to make sure that, you know, this is what you want, all right?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Yes.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So you`re sure you want to kill this dude?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Do we really have to...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All right.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: You know, it`s just, I`d rather be as less, you know, whatever with you.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All right. I know I got a picture. I`ve looked at a picture of the house a while ago. You know, I know you have an alarm system.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: We have alarm, motion detectors and cameras.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What`s the company that monitors the alarm the alarm system? It`s not one of the common...
DALIA DIPPOLITO: No, it`s not, like, a main company or anything like that.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So it`s a smaller company?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Right.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All right.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: But the thing is, like, in the middle of this week, he`s going to be somewhere, and so I wanted to talk to you and see if -- you know what I mean, if something can possibly -- you know what I mean?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well, all right. So you don`t want it at the house?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: I`d rather -- I wanted to talk to you and see if it`s something -- you know what I mean, at that place, if we could do something like that, or if it can`t be done, and you know...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well, that`s the thing, which is why, you know, I want to know as much information so I can plan, you know, because I`ve already started planning as if it`s going to be in the house, which is why I asked you for the key for the house, you know what I mean? Because my thing was kind of, you know, in and out, you know, if you`re not comfortable with -- because a lot of people are not comfortable with me with keys to their house and all that kind of stuff, you know, like, a lot of personal information, you know what I mean? It`ll take a little while, but I`ll get in, you know? I don`t care about the alarm system, but I got to know who it is, you know, because a lot of times, you know, what I -- you know, whatever I get from -- whatever money I get from you, most of it goes into planning and getting people to do stuff.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: OK.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You know what I mean?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Right.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That`s just the way it is.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: He`s going to be going to the bank on Wednesday. I don`t know if, you know...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The bank?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Yes. I don`t know if that`s too public for you or...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No, no. What`s -- what`s he doing at the bank?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: He has to pull out money for his business partner.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Oh, he`s not going to -- OK, so he doesn`t have any money at the house then?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Like, hard, hard cash. He`s going and pulling out the money because he has to make it look like it`s coming from an account from a different partner.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Like a business account.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: How much money?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: I think he said he`s pulling out I think around 10.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That might even be better. If he`s got 10,000...
DALIA DIPPOLITO: That`s why I was telling you.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. All right, what`s the name of the bank he`s going to?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: So -- the bank that he`s going to? He`s going to Bank of America.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: In Boca?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: In Boca.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You know where it`s at, the address?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Yes, I know exactly where, what time, everything.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: So I don`t know if, you know...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well, I got to...
DALIA DIPPOLITO: The problem with this, though, is that from where the bank is to where the partner`s office is, it`s literally, like, next door to each other.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. So...
DALIA DIPPOLITO: But he`s going to have to get back in the car to go there. I know where the office is at and everything like that. I can show you where everything`s at.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This office is the partner?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Yes.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All right.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: But now I don`t know if that`s, like, too public for you or...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well, I mean, you know, I -- you know, I could do it like that, but it is public. I`ll get the money, but the thing about it is it`s a harder getaway. If it`s in Boca, how close is it from, like, I- 95?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: You`re closer to the turnpike.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The bank is, Bank of America?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Yes.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What road is it on?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: 441.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: 441. Closer to the turnpike is god, too, because, you know, I need -- I need somewhere to get out fast.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Right.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. Turnpike -- what road is it on?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: It`s on Glades and 441.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Glades and 441. Bank of America?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: There`s a bank of America there in a shopping center.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And where`s his partner`s office at?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: This is 441. This is Glades. 441 is here, the bank is here, and then the next building over on 441 is where the partner`s office is.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. So the partner`s office is actually on 441 itself, not Glades?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Exactly.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What`s the name, like, of the business?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: It`s in a building. Like, I can get you the building number and everything like that. I know where everything`s at, but, like, the exact...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: First floor, second floor or anything like that?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: That`s what I don`t know.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. All right. He won`t make it to the building.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: So what do you need then? Do you want to go ahead and drive by that area and, like, scout it out, or what are you trying to do?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Right now?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Yes.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No, I think -- I`ll find out. I just -- and as long as I know where the bank is and as long as I know what car he`s going to drive, I know I`m going to have people follow him from the house to the bank.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: All right.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All right? And then he`s going to be gone.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: So Wednesday, you know, he`s leaving 8:15, 8:30.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: 8:15. Are you going to be home?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: He wants to be at the bank when the bank opens at 9:00.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: And then he`s going to go and see...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. Can he walk from the bank tot he -- is it, like, walking distance, or you`ve got to drive to the partner`s office?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: No, he`s going to get in the truck and drive.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. All right.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: He`ll get in the truck and he`ll drive.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: I`m sure.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So...
DALIA DIPPOLITO: You know, Wednesday, I told you where he`s going to be. And then you need to know where he`s going to be after he leaves the partner`s or no?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. Where`s he going to be at?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: He has a dentist appointment right across the street at, like, 9:30, 10:00 in the morning.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK, 9:30, 10:00. And at that point...
DALIA DIPPOLITO: So he`s...
(CROSSTALK)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Is he leaving town Wednesday? You said he`s going somewhere. Is he leaving town or what?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: No, no, no. That was this.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. All right. Then he`s going to come back home.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Right. Then he`s going to come back home.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He`s definitely not coming back home with the money. The partner`s going to be...
DALIA DIPPOLITO: No. He`s meeting the partner and then from there, he`s going to...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. All right. I`m going to try to do it in Boca, then, though, because I`ve been planning for, you know, over here. Just, you know, I got to -- I got to do my homework and come back and...
DALIA DIPPOLITO: But that was the idea because it would make it seem like that`s the reason why...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Right, right, right. And so he just had surgery? Where?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: His back right there.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: His back. All right. OK. So he`s not going to be able to move, then.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: He won`t be able to, like -- I mean, he walks fine and everything like that, but I mean, you know, it`s going to be, like, a little bit of a struggle.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: He wears here -- like, all this here, you know, all these here are, like, tender points.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. All right. OK. If it`s not done by Wednesday, then I`ll call you. If it`s done by Wednesday, the only thing you`re going to hear from me is to collect, all right? Which is why I said that, you know, between now and when it`s done, you know, you`re not going to have an option to change your mind. Even if you change your mind...
DALIA DIPPOLITO: There`s no changing -- no, there`s no, like -- I`m determined already. I`m positive, like, 5,000 percent sure. Like, I was stressing when you told me you were going to come up here. And then I`m, like, looking at the time, and I`m, like, What the (EXPLETIVE DELETED), he`s not coming, he`s not this, you know? It`s, like, all this stuff or whatever. Like, no, when I say I`m going to do something, I`m going to do it. Like, as soon as you told me I`m going to need the money from you, I went, I grabbed right away. Like, we were good to go. With me, you`re not going to have a problem. You`re not going to have an issue, you know what I mean? Nothing.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. Do you have any money on you right now you could forward or anything? You don`t have to, I`m just saying.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: I didn`t bring anything.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. No big deal. No big deal. All right, Wednesday at the bank, $10,000, right?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Yes. Because you know he`s going to have it. That`s what I`m saying to you. Like, you get him at the house, it`s, like, Eh, you know? It`s, like -- but immunity, I have nice (EXPLETIVE DELETED) at my house, but still, like, if you go and you -- you know what I mean?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He doesn`t keep any, like, you know, large amount of money at the house?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: No.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. All right. So about the key to the house...
DALIA DIPPOLITO: I have that, but I didn`t make a copy of it because I wanted to talk to you about Wednesday to see if Wednesday was going to work out better than...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes, Wednesday...
DALIA DIPPOLITO: You know what I mean?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Wednesday`s going to work out better.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Than coming to the house because the thing is, is that I didn`t want to say it over the phone, but, like I told you, I have cameras. They don`t record, but I have cameras on the front and on the back. And then I have the motion detector. So it`s, like, even if you go with the key, the sensor is going to go off and then he`s going to see, like, on our TV, you know what I mean, somebody?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes, an intruder.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Exactly.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: So I didn`t want to (EXPLETIVE DELETED) you up, either, and then all of a sudden, you know what I mean, have an issue.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. What floor is it on? Is it on the first floor or...
DALIA DIPPOLITO: They`re three-story town homes. When you walk in, it`s an orange...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So all right, so the whole three stories is his, is you guys?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Yes.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All right. OK.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: The whole three stories is us.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All right. You got the key with you? I just want to see what kind of key it is?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: It`s just a regular -- a -- I have it in the truck because...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You know the name of the -- I mean, I could -- you know, it`s just I don`t want to -- you know, just, you know, right now, I`m planning for the bank thing. I`m just saying, you know, if at the last minute, the bank`s not going to work out, I just want to make sure, you know, that I can get it done, you know what I mean?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Right.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I`ll have to say (EXPLETIVE DELETED) the money. I just want to get the job done.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Right.

GRACE: When we come back, was money and a quarter-million-dollar town home the motive for a Florida beach beauty plotting to have her husband shot to death?
(BEGIN AUDIO CLIP)
MICHAEL DIPPOLITO: You know what I`ll do? You know what I`ll do for you? Seriously?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: What?
MICHAEL DIPPOLITO: You sign my house back over to me, I`ll help your mom immensely. Give me my house back. That`s it.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: That`s it what?
MICHAEL DIPPOLITO: I`ll help you so I don`t have to go through the (EXPLETIVE DELETED) legal I have to go through already.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: What does that mean?
MICHAEL DIPPOLITO: It means sign my property back to me that you stole, basically.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: That`s what you`re thinking, and I didn`t steal anything.
MICHAEL DIPPOLITO: All right, so listen, I`ll have the papers sent over to you somehow. You`ll sign them over to me, and then I will help your mother, OK?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: I`m not signing anything.
MICHAEL DIPPOLITO: I know you wouldn`t sign anything. I knew that wasn`t going to happen. So I can`t help you.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: And that`s what you`re thinking about. I`m sitting here rotting, and you`re thinking about the house.
MICHAEL DIPPOLITO: Dalia, you tried to have me killed.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: That`s not true.
MICHAEL DIPPOLITO: You`re a (EXPLETIVE DELETED) liar. You`re a (EXPLETIVE DELETED) liar.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Detectives say they received a tip about Dalia`s plan. She had been dealing with an undercover police officer posing as a hit man.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The report says the two met several times in a parking lot at a CVS and at a gas station. When the officer asked if she was sure she wanted it done, she replied, quote, "I`m not going to change my mind. I`m 5,000 percent sure I want it done."
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Michael Dippolito and his wife met less than a year ago. He`s now 38. She`s 26. They were married six months ago. He says strange things started happening -- money went missing, threatening notes were left on his car. He says now that makes sense, but it`s far different than his wife trying to kill him.
MICHAEL DIPPOLITO: There was a lot of funny stuff going on. I overlooked a lot of things. You know -- you know, you try and look -- see the best in people, not the worst. I feel a little bad, but I mean, there`s no reason she had to do this.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
GRACE: Twenty-six-year-old Florida beach beauty Dalia Dippolito marries her dream man, the newlyweds all set to live happily ever after until death does them part. But what she doesn`t plan on is the hit man she hires to murder the new husband is a cop. Motive? Not only does she convince hubby to transfer ownership of their quarter-million-dollar town home to her name only, she goes shopping for the hit man the very next day. And it`s all on tape.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Listen, is there anybody that you know that you think would want to kill your husband?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: My husband`s on probation.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: For what?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: For stock fraud.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Stock fraud? How long has he been on probation? Probation or parole? Did he spend any time in prison? How much? Do you know?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Two years in prison and five years on probation, going onto six years.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Oh, my God. And what was that for?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: It was for taking money. Like, he explained it, like, boiler room, kind of, where they would take money from people and...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Oh, I understand.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: ... put it towards things...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. How long have you guys been married?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Not even a year.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is tragic. Is there anybody you can think of that would want to do this to him?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: I was telling the officers we`ve had problems already and...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What sort of problems?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: ... he`s been trying to get off probation. And it`s just been nothing but problems the whole time that he`s been trying to get off. People weren`t happy that he was getting off probation because it`s a lot of money he`s got to pay back.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well, when you say "people," who are you talking about? The people that were involved in it before or...
DALIA DIPPOLITO: A little bit of everything. This was supposed to be something when he got off probation, it was supposed to be between us, and he want and he told, you know, friends of his. He told, you know, certain people, and everyone kind of talks. And he`s constantly running into a lot of the guys that he was on probation with. Like, a couple days ago, he ran into someone, and that was at Target, I mean, you know, and the guy comes up to us, and he`s, like, with organized crime. It seems like a lot of the guys from Boca are starting to move up here. And we`re constantly running into -- you know what I mean, a lot of the guys that he knows and things like that. It was a lot of money. It was $191,000 that he had to pay back. So we were going to go ahead and he had the money to pay off the probation and everything like that. And then I guess somehow when he went away, some guys didn`t go away. They...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You mean when he went to prison?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: Right.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: They left the country. And so somehow, he was dealing with some of those guys because they thought that he owed them, and I don`t know, something with that that he was taking care of. So the money that he used to get off of probation, he never -- he never -- he never did it. He did something else with that money.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Now, do you know any of these people, their names or anything like that, or where they may live, so that we may be able to follow it up? We`re not going to -- we`re not going to implicate you.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: The guys that left, I don`t know.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. You don`t know them?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: I don`t know them because...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You`ve never met them?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: No. I mean, I know the guy that we ran into a couple days ago. I know, like -- I know certain names, you know what I mean? And I know certain families. They were on the news, like, the guys that all just went away. I forget what family.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I understand you got a couple animals at your house, too, right?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: I guess. I want to tell you everything. The whole...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Please do.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: So that way, you guys kind of know what`s going on.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes, I do. I want to know.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: So that`s what happened with that. So he didn`t know how to tell everybody what was going on with everything. And so he pretty much -- he told them that, like, you know, I had the money and I took and I got involved in, like, a Bernie Madoff kind of scheme because he didn`t know how to tell, you know, his mom and everybody what was going on.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You`re lucky.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: What?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You`re lucky you went to the gym.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: We were supposed to go to the gym.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Oh, the both of you were supposed to go?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: He didn`t know if he was going to -- he just had liposuction, and he had, like, two love handles removed from here that he had, something little, and two weeks ago, he had surgery.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What kind of surgery?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: A beltectomy, like, the lipo that he had.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Oh, did he use to be real heavy or something?
DALIA DIPPOLITO: No. He used to be, and then he got lip done, and I guess the plastic surgeon left, like, two bulges here. So yesterday, we went because he got, like, a blood build-up in his back, so they drained it.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Oh, OK.
DALIA DIPPOLITO: And he was, like, Well, depending on how I feel today -- but we go every morning. We haven`t gone since the surgery, but every morning, 5:00 AM, we`re both at the gym. Yes.
