Defensive wounds on the arms, hands.

She put up a fight.

Book the window.

You haul her down from the bedroom?

Yeah.

Fellas.

Marcella? Victim Claire Birdson.

The mayor's granddaughter?

His oldest.

And the music?

It's been that way since we got here.

Turn it down, would you? Got it.

The mayor's granddaughter.

We saw this.

We'll be heroes.

We don't. We're working the night desk
down at Kensington.

You're a Boy Scout, right?

Indian Cup.

What do you make of that?

It's a knot.

Thanks.

Clove hitch.

Double half hitch. It's a boat knot.

Hey, get a few shots of this, will you?

With a double half hitch.

A Boy Scout or something?

Something.

Hey, get a few shots of this, will you?

Eggs, scrambled, home fries.

Coffee? The cream, please.

And a bagel, thanks.

Two coffees.

Food? We'll brief in half an hour.

Egg sandwich with cheese.

A non -stinky cheese.

I tried to call you last night.

Extra ticket to the game. I was at
Faith's. Took a lab on alert.

Really? This one is top priority.

He seems revved up. What's going on?

A murder.

Female victim. Standard stuff.

In the kitchen with a knife.

We found her over at University City.

Yeah, Colonel Mustard. That's funny.
Listen, do me a favor. I need research.

Anybody look good for it?

Hey, Marie, wrap this up for me, would
you? Not not. Not with a K. Not.

Yeah. Clove hitch.

Clove?

No, like the hippy -dippy cigarette.
Clove.

Thanks.

Needham's an idiot.

Clove hitch.

Coincidence.

Victim tied up in a kitchen chair.

Mike Crawford. Heavy metal plan.

What's going on? Perp break in the back
door.

Call her out of bed, stab her, drag her
down to the kitchen, watch her die.

I need to know some secret handshake
before you're going to tell me how you

all that. Remember the Claire Burton
murder?

Mayor's granddaughter.

Remember the M .O.? I was over at the
21st, but they said she was stabbed,

up, and... Well, so what do you think, a
coincidence or copycat?

Every detail of that murder was made
public.

Flo Fitch was under wraps. Yeah, but
it's a common voting not.

If Frederick Morton didn't kill
Claire... He did. He's doing life in

At least compare the case files. Yeah,
we do that. The trail on our case goes

cold. And Rossi and I, we're left with
nothing.

I still got my paperwork.

I can take a look.

Mike, a witness puts the kid at the
scene.

We got a parking ticket outside our
house. His prints are all over the

Please. Don't be making noise on this.
I'll stay under the radar. No, no, no,

no. You stay out of this.

The coroner puts the time of death
between midnight and 2 a .m. Clyde

take a handful of uniforms, cameras in
the neighborhood for witnesses. The

Livingstone worked at Evolution.

This is a list of her colleagues.

McPhee, Kinson, see if they got
something to add.

Now, Prince, we're lifted from the
scene, but all but a partial match to

victim and her family. Yeah, we're
running that partial through the local

Odds are slim that they'll have enough
to work with, so let's get out the

release records, see who's back on the
street. Might be up to their old tricks.

McCafferty, two traffic violations,
parking ticket issued within a mile

of the victim's home.

Any questions?

Did you put the wrong guy in jail?

Maybe.

I don't know, maybe.

Mike.

That was a brutal murder.

All this media frenzy.

Frederick said no record.

Never been in any kind of trouble.

Well, he must have had something.

We had a lot.

But, oh, I don't know.

Back then, I looked at people like
Frederick different.

No offense, but back then you looked at
all of us different.

Well, it was us against everybody else.

You know, there's this little part of
me, it just, it knew that something

right.

Once that ball gets rolling,

What are you going to do?

Marcello says to leave it alone.

Since when do you listen to him?

Mike. Oh, hey.

Sorry, I knocked. I thought you were
out.

Can I come in?

Yeah, sure.

I just need to pick up one of my old...
Hey, Dad.

Hey. Dr. Ambrose.

It's Ryan.

Please.

We're going to the Sixers game tonight.
Want to come?

Ryan has an extra ticket.

Mikey? Uh, no, no, no. It's okay. No,
can't.

Uh, thanks anyway.

No, I just came by to get one of my old
files.

They're not here.

The leak in the basement?

That's right.

I think they're still at your... I know.
I know.

Sorry to bother you.

Bye, Dad.

Have a good time at the game.

Bye.

Move and I'll shoot.

It's me.

I'll shoot. Hey, hey, hey.

Dad, it's me. Stop.

It's me.

Aunt Lolly said you'd be at the track.

How did you get in?

Key under the paper. I just need one of
my old files.

Forgot my binoculars.

How are you?

Lock up when you leave.

Nice talking to you.

Then he's waiting on me. Yeah, right.
You want to talk?

Okay, let's see.

I hear the traffic on the school pill
was a nightmare this morning.

I screwed up.

I embarrassed you. I get it.

Mrs. Hendrick on the block broke her
hip. She's in a home.

What else you want to talk about?

Benny's waiting for you.

The killer wanted to see a sufferer.
This is just like the dick over in

A couple years ago? Yeah, the ex
-boyfriend with the bad teeth. This is

the same thing. No way.

This guy killed the mayor's
granddaughter.

He's a psycho.

He chose his victim at random. Friends,
psycho. Cops go their whole careers

hoping to catch a case like this. You
realize that?

Brief me.

Dad. Make a retired cop happy.

Brief me.

Time of death was between midnight and 2
a .m.

Perp broke in through the back door.

As near as we can tell, she left work at
6, went to the gym, came home alone.

What's in here?

Apples.

And grilled cheese?

What's asking?

You don't like them? Peel them out.

Yeah.

Whoa.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Thanks.

You got help?

He's got a lead on a witness.

Thanks for lunch.

We were neighbor -friendly.

Borrow a cup of sugar like that.

But I knew Claire well enough to know
that the music coming from her house

night was definitely not her. What time
did you hear the music?

Maybe 10, maybe 11.

Mr. Jenkins,

the mayor's granddaughter is dead. Maybe
it's not good enough.

Okay, let me think.

I'd gone down to get a glass of water.

That's when I saw the man standing in
Claire's kitchen.

Looked like he was washing something at
the sink.

The time?

Right, it was 10 .30 on my microwave.

I remember thinking I had another seven
hours to sleep.

Mr. Jenkins, these people got parking
tickets in the neighborhood the night of

the murder.

Any of them looked like the man that you
saw?

This guy looks like him.

Frederick's not here.

Do you know where he is?

Why? Because we want to talk to him.

About what?

This morning we know he's a carpenter.

Any chance he's working construction?

Depends. Any chance you're going to
answer any of my questions? We're

investigating a murder.

Well, what's Frederick got to do with
that?

We think he might have information that
could help us find the killer. So, where

is he?

Frederick Morton?

That's me.

Yeah, put the hammer down.

Why?

Just like his mother.

Frederick's gonna solve you a big
murder. He's gonna be a hero.

That's what you said five years ago.

I know, but... My son hasn't been home.

He hasn't stepped foot in this house
since you showed up that day.

Move your foot!

I'm trying to help him.

I'll call the cops.

Get down now. Whoa, hey, what's going
on?

Frederick Morton, you're under arrest
for the murder of Claire Burton. Wait,

shut up. Please, you're just leaving the
bed. Shut up.

You have a right to remain silent.

Anything you say can be used against you
in a court of law. You've got the right

to an attorney.

You don't have one, but you can't afford
one. One will be provided.

He wrote, my friend.

He wrote.

Another woman was murdered yesterday.

Whoever killed her might have killed
Claire Burton.

I might have made a mistake about
Frederick.

Please, may I come in?

It was so cool. And after the game, Ryan
took me to the locker room to meet the

players. I met Iverson. No joke?

He gave me this.

It's his autograph.

And then he gave me a pound.

Right there.

I'm bringing my hand in for show and
tell.

How are you going to take a bath?

Like that.

Mike. Mikey.

I got Iverson's autograph.

Get out. Let me see that.

Don't lose that.

No way.

You guys got a big day planned?

No, my dad has to go meet some guy in
jail.

I can't come.

Really?

Bring that up, okay?

Okay.

Can I get a brownie?

Yeah, all right.

Witness could have been wrong.

No forensic evidence other than his
prints.

That's not enough.

You want to know the truth?

I never felt right about it.

I just want to talk to him.

At 2 .30 this afternoon, detectives
Washington and Olshansky arrested

Morton for the murder of Clara Burton.

Mr. Morton will be arraigned tomorrow
morning. At that time, my office will

for an expedited trial date.

Because of you, I've been in here four
years.

347 days, 6 hours, and 32 seconds.

Please advance my question. 8 ,500.

361 crap meals in here. I'm trying to
help you. You understand that?

Don't you want to know how many
cigarettes I've smoked since you put me

What were you really doing at Claire's?

35 ,743.

We're done. But 350 ,000 puffs.

You all right?

Like I said, I was building shelves for
Claire's pantry.

Sorry.

Afterwards, I left my car and I went to
a movie.

That's when I got the parking ticket.

I didn't kill her.

I know the witness says he saw me there,
but he didn't.

Maybe he saw me doing work earlier at
her place, but that night, that late, I

swear, he didn't see me.

Thanks, Mike.

See you later.

How you doing?

What the hell are you doing visiting
Frederick Morton?

Not here.

Charlie, over at Correction, saw your
name on a sign -in list. The inmates

you're getting Morton out.

Dad, please don't do this. Am I causing
any trouble? Hey. Am I causing any

trouble? Come on. Don't touch me.

You've been drinking. Take out an ad.
Let's just go outside. Frederick

a damn killer.

What if he isn't?

Look at you.

Talking like the cop you aren't.

Pathetic. Yeah.

And you ought to know about pathetic.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, listen up. Michael,
Marcellus, come up here. Get up here.

Come on, get those glasses up in the
air.

Come on, come on.

You never bagged anything like this,
neither did I. But these two guys, my

God have mercy on that poor girl.

They busted their asses. Nailed the
killer.

My kid. This is my kid.

Seats on the floor.

Iris and... Ryan knows the team doctor.

He had some extra tickets.

Yeah. Brought Mikey along.

You too serious?

We're spending time together, Mike.

A lot of time?

Sure you're okay talking about this?

I'm dating Faith.

Yeah.

A lot of time.

We found cotton fibers on her nightgown,
probably from the perp shirt. Check it

out.

Flyers fan.

Orange and black.

What about the DNA?

So far, nothing.

Tell me about the rope.

Three -strand braided nylon with a 12
-inch ice knife.

Stock line.

Yeah, three -eighths inch.

So we're looking for a 15 to 25 footer?
If the perp lifted it off a boat, yeah.

But he didn't.

Rope's new, and it's not your standard
brand.

What the hell do you mean, was it
definitely Frederick Morton? That's what

asking. That's what I said at trial. I
know, but is it possible you made a

mistake?

No. Are you sure?

Mr. Jenkins.

A man is sitting in jail possibly for
something he didn't do.

I don't need any trouble. Neither did
Frederick Morton.

Look, there is evidence to suggest that
Frederick didn't kill Claire. If you

know something... Your partner's an ass.

Ex -partner.

What'd he do?

After the lineup, I told him I wasn't
sure it was Morton that I saw.

Down at the district?

Yeah, you'd left the room. Call from
your wife, I think. Anyway, your partner

kept saying it was Frederick, that I was
this...

hero for helping to catch him.

And with all the press and the mayor, I
guess I bought into it.

So you didn't see Frederick at Claire's
house?

No.

I mean, I don't know.

Guy looked like him.

But I didn't get a good enough look to
say for sure.

So I gave him a little push. He was
telling you he wasn't sure.

Yeah, and we shake a treat, though, with
witnesses you took statements from,

took positive IDs from.

How many I'm -not -sures -you -think
-will -fall -out?

We do what we have to do.

That's what we are.

Who I was.

How what?

You think you're going to cleanse your
soul by turning your back on good police

work? What would you know about clean
souls?

This guy was working three jobs that
aren't tuition.

He had no priors. Everybody who knew him
said he was gentle as a lamb.

That's what they said about Ted Bundy.
Yeah, well, Ted Bundy fits Sykes'

profile. Frederick Morton didn't. He
didn't even come close.

So that's what makes him innocent?

That's what makes me wonder.

What about the parking ticket a half an
hour before the time of death? Maybe.

It's like you said. He was at a movie.

Mike, we talked to the cashiers.

The candy girls.

No one remembers seeing him.

So he's guilty.

I'm not thinking that. Then why aren't
you helping him?

Because if this Morton stuff becomes
public, the killer goes under, and we're

never going to find him. My way, we find
the killer, and then we come back and

take care of the first murder.

That if the DA finds out that you're
behind Morton making this move, he's

to bury you.

Let him.

I'm seeing this through. Mike, would you
stop for one minute and think about

what it is that you're doing?

Sure. I'll think.

I'll think about a man who lost five
years of his life because we wanted a

promotion. And I'll think about every
corner that we cut, every witness that

pushed. And I'll think about how we
didn't give a crap about any of them.

Or their families. We weren't supposed
to.

Sorry I'm late. Bus was delayed.

Mrs. Morton.

You remember Detective Washington?

Hello.

Right.

Are you ready?

Mm -hmm.

We should have cared.

Mr. Profeta, in light of... It's a
motion for a new trial.

Thank you. I'm aware of that.

I'm missing the witness's declaration.

I see here Mr. Jenkins has changed his
testimony.

That's correct. Mr. Jenkins is now
telling the court Frederick Morton is

man he saw in the victim's home the
night she was murdered? Yes, Your Honor.

Even though he identified him in a
lineup and gave a detailed description

police, is that correct?

Yes, but after reflection, Mr. Jenkins
believes he was wrong.

Mr. Landy, anything?

It's simple.

Recollections fade over time.

As such, testimony at trial is most
reliable and should be afforded such

I agree.

But, Your Honor, this... Motion denied.

Mr. Profeta, you want a new trial,
you'll have to bring me more.

Call the next case.

Word of advice.

We've got enough trouble.

Back off this.

I'm sorry.

We're going to get you out of this.

We will.

We'll get him out of this.

Half the guys are put away.

Half the really guilty ones, they're out
on the street because of

technicalities. Frederick, he's still in
jail.

You got my coffee? The witness recanted
his testimony.

Didn't see him there.

We are witnesses who put you there,
Frederick.

No, it's... Yeah, you tie her up. I
didn't. And you stabbed her. And you

Claire Burton die.

I'm telling you, I was at a movie.

Yeah. Bear yourself.

Nobody saw you.

You know what happens now, huh? You know
what happens now, Frederick?

Look at yourself.

You know what happens now?

You die.

Yeah, you die.

I want a lawyer.

I said I want a lawyer.

Why'd you do it?

I hadn't pushed Frederick so hard.

I just listened.

And he wouldn't lawyer it up.

I could have heard the whole story.

Mike, Mike Hoffman. Are you listening?

If something doesn't smell right, you
don't complain.

You get out there, beat the pavement,
and make it right.

It's not in your nature to tell me
stories.

What else is going on?

Help a guy get his life back. No,
there's something else other than

What is it?

I had this little boy friend.

Took her and Mikey to a Sixers game.

They had floor seats.

No kidding.

Mikey met Iverson.

Got his autograph.

And this is bad because...

I'll never be

able to do something like that for my
son.

You don't have to.

You're his father.

My coffee, please.

What?

Came in two weeks after we pitched for
that.

Yeah, B &E over.

Ariana Street.

Detective Lawner over in East Division
Center.

Look here.

Leon Wilmer, arrested breaking into the
back window of a house. No, we don't

know that.

Of a house belonging to a 29 -year -old
single woman. Just take it.

Wilmer was caught with a fishing knife
and a dock line in his back.

He spent the last four and a half years
in the joint. Was released three weeks

ago.

We should have followed up on this.

Read the description.

There you go.

Let's pull up Wilmer's mugshot.

Leo, W -I -L -M -E -R.

Wilmer, I got it, I got it.

at her birth.

So you help me clear Frederick?

You got Rossi on board?

Yeah, where do you want to start?

We have to show that Wilmer was at
Claire's the night she was killed. What

of print did we lift from her thing?
Four sets or a tag.

Okay, you got them here? Yep,
Frederick's.

They were on the shelves.

Claire's one of these ones for her
mother's. What is the fourth report?

I don't know. It should be for a set
lifted from the doorknob. I know. It's

here.

Okay. Well, let me call up my files from
Central Story.

That's going to take days.

Yeah, you got a better idea?

There was some day.

A shining moment.

What's your problem?

No problem at all.

Two months he said those boxes would be
here. They've been here two years.

The prints aren't here.

The report, it's not here.

Did you hear me?

When are you going to get all this stuff
out of here?

Maybe I should wait outside.

Why are you letting him do this? Why do
you care?

Huh? Answer me. Why do you care so damn
much about this case?

Mike, let it go. No.

I want to know.

Huh?

Tell me why, after a year and a half of
slamming doors in my face, this case

gets you off your ass and down to see
me.

That case and getting your conviction.

Cops wait their whole careers for
something like that. Yeah, and that's

everything, isn't it?

It's a hell of a lot more than you've
got now.

He's always there for the wins, but the
losses... At least he was there for

something. It was a bragging rights.

That bust is all he talked about right
to the day I got kicked off.

You okay?

Nothing new.

Hang on.

Washington.

Yeah.

I'll be right there.

Rocky got a lead on the dock line.

K .L. calls Levitt.

Tell him you're coming by for the
prints.

Yeah.

Let's see.

Here you are.

This is what you're looking for.

It's our private label. See the gold
threading? You saw many of these?

In season, sure.

You recognize him?

Yeah. He was in last week. Maybe the
week before. You buy one of these?

Yeah. Keep repeats?

For plastic, sure.

This guy paid cash.

Any idea where we could find him?

No. Okay, if he comes back in, call us.

Sure.

Yeah, I ran the prints, just like
always.

All four sets?

In a case like that, DA sent down
himself a rush job. Come on, you know

Mike. I ran them all.

Well, I need a copy of the report on the
sets on the door now.

Can't do it.

Look, it's not for me. It's for
Washington. No, I got no problem with

It's just, I never wrote one up.

Why?

DA said not to.

You gotta be kidding.

Hey, all I know is...

He stopped by after I'd done the
comparison, said since there was no

the friend, family, or Morton, no need
to write up the report.

So it said on the door knob, they're
unidentified.

Wait.

This is not the first you're hearing
this, right?

Are you sure?

It's been five years, but come on. All
the heat from the mayor's office?

Yeah, I'm sure.

You run the prints through the system?

You still got the prints?

In storage.

Order them up.

I'll send them to Washington.

We ran a print from the doorknob on
Claire's door.

Against the partial from Ellen
Livingstone's. And it matched.

It gets better. Then we ran the set we
got from Claire's against Leon Wilmer's.

We got a hit. And get this.

He was released last month. Farrell
tells me he's staying right here in

with his mommy.

Dr. Fitts?

You were right.

We got the wrong guy.

The prints not being yours is a start
toward proving that you didn't kill

Claire. Okay. And the DA not letting you
know about it, according to your

lawyer, that's grounds for a new trial.

Okay. But to guarantee we get you out of
here, the cops have got to find Leon

and get positive IDs.

Is this really happening?

We're trying.

You tell my mom all this?

I thought you'd want to do it.

We're not allowed.

It's all right.

I'll talk to the guard.

Hey, Ma.

It's me.

I don't care where his parole officer
says he's staying. I haven't seen that

damn fool's son of mine since he swiped
70 bucks out of my purse. When was that?

Two days ago.

Damn fool left me six bucks till payday.
That ain't right.

No, it isn't. You catch Leon?

Get that money back for me?

Yes, ma 'am.

Rossi.

Ms. Wilmer, any chance Leon might be
staying with friends? He doesn't have

friends.

Imagine that.

We're on our way.

All right.

Thank you, ma 'am.

That was a guy from the boat supply
store. Leon just bought a new dock line.

Did they stall on him?

Couldn't, but he got him talking. Leon
says he's got a boat down on Schuylkill.

There's hundreds of boats down here.

Yeah, but this one's called Heavy Metal.

There it is.

Got his rope.

Got his knife.

He's ready for action.

Yeah, no kidding.

Look at this.

The victims.

This is Ellen Livingstone.

And this one stayed stamped yesterday.

She must be next.

This is Boathouse Row.

Hey, Ron. The idiots always run.

No!

Congratulations. Send them in.

Turn to your right.

Turn to your left.

Face front.

The third guy.

It's him.

Take your time.

Number three.

It's him.

Toast.

You did good.

Well, the jury did it. Yeah, but you
handed him to them.

Here's to Frederick Morton spending his
life in jail.

And you for putting him there.

Mr.

Landy. As I'm sure you're aware,
withholding a scapulatory evidence from

defendant could cost you your license.
The fingerprint evidence was dubious at

best. Dubious? I believe that's the
court's call, not Mr. Landy's. I agree.

Landy, you should have seen to it that a
report was written and delivered to the

defense. Yes, Your Honor.

Mr. Buffetta, I'm impressed at your
tenacity.

Thank you. Now, in light of Mr. Landy's
dubious decision with respect to crucial

fingerprint evidence, the eyewitness
recantation...

and the positive identification of Leon
Wilmer in connection with the Claire

Burton murder, I hereby grant defense's
motion to set aside the conviction.

Mr. Morton, you are free to go with the
sincerest apology from the court.

Mr. Landy, I'll see you in chambers.

Mr. Oshansky, wait.

I just want to thank you for helping my
son.

I'm sorry about everything that he's had
to go through.

He's out now. That's what's important.

Congratulations.

25 minutes and 33 seconds.

Thank you.

Thanks, Dad. I had fun.

Yeah. Well, ice cream isn't exactly four
seats for the Sixers.

But Schmitz does make a damn fine
chocolate chip.

Yeah, they do.

Here. Wait. I got something for you.

It's for the autograph.

Oh.

Cool, Dad. Thanks.

The improper handling of evidence by the
district attorney's office, Leon

Wilmer, was not linked to the murders
until yesterday.

Despite years of appeals, Frederick
Morton spent nearly five years in prison

the murder of former Mayor Boyd's
granddaughter, Claire Burton.

This afternoon, Mr. Morton was
exonerated for the murder and is now

his release with family and friends.

Earlier today, City Hall awarded the
Philadelphia Medal of Honor.

to detectives Aldo Rossi and Marcellus
Washington in appreciation of their

outstanding work.
