No, no.

Honey, it says you have to put your knee in the base before you cinch the

seatbelt.

I think I was in a position in yoga class once.

And I hated yoga.

Look, are you sure this thing is secure?

Because, you know, it says most child fatalities are due to improperly

car seats. And 80 % of them are improperly installed.

This thing is solid as a rock.

Now, all I have to do is

snap this in here

and... Ow!

All right, you know, the only thing we can do is just keep the kid at home

he's old enough to drive himself.

That's the wrong way.

That's the wrong way. What are you talking about?

It's the wrong way. The newborns have to face backwards. It's safer. They won't

even let us leave the hospital if it's like that.

Someday we're going to laugh about this.

Some distant wedding anniversary?

You never give up, do you? No, I don't. And I'll tell you, in this particular

instance, I think it's a very good thing.

And, you know, at the risk of sounding like my mother... Mother?

You think?

If they could put a man on the moon, they would find any simpler way to put a

car seat.

Hank! What?

What?

My water just broke.

You want me to hurry with it?

I was thinking, let's go, let's go.

All right.

You got the door. I got it, I got it.

Hey. What do we got?

Rough night, big guy?

Only reason why I ask is because my partner's convinced he can burn the

at both ends. Which he obviously can, except when it comes to... Okay.

White male, 40 years old, single gunshot to the lower torso.

And we estimate the time of death to be between midnight and 2 a .m. Point blank

range. She was probably in the passenger seat.

ID in his wallet identifies him as Ray Turner of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Any cash in the wallet?

16 bucks.

Interior's pretty soaked in the rain last night. Nothing to get for the lab

guys. I don't suppose there are any witnesses.

No one's come forward.

Magda's supervising the cameras of the neighborhood.

Pop the trunk in.

Nope, I like to save all that heavy -duty work for you.

All right, come on, move.

Be my guest.

It's like a brand new spare.

Dreamland Tonight.

It was too off -color and granular to be heroin.

Maybe coke? No, it's crystal meth. Must be more than a pound here.

Worth about 40 grand retail.

Oh, who's dealing meth these days?

Well, this is the house brand of Deuce Stingley.

What a colorful name.

So what, uh, Turner was working for him, skimmed a little profit off the top for

himself? Did Stingley have a temper?

Yeah, well, Deuce Stingley would kill his own brother.

Burned him on a deal.

Rumor has it he actually did.

I hit about a dozen homes. No one's seen or heard anything.

Yeah, well, I'm not doing any better.

One guy says that he heard some dogs barking at around 1 a .m., and another

says he thought he heard a car backfiring at around the same time, but

one of them bothered to look out the window.

Yeah, whatever happened to the concept of nosy neighbors?

Yeah. Listen, I have about a block or so more to go, so I'm just going to go

ahead and do that on my own, all right? Thanks for the assistance.

Actually, do you think I could tag along?

I can't face that sack of files back at the station.

Um, yeah.

All right.

Joseph Davis.

Mr. Joseph Davis?

Yes. Hi, I'm Inspector Magdal Ramirez with the San Francisco Police

This is Stacy Reynolds with the Police Services Aid.

We'd like to speak with you.

Oh, sure. Come in. Come in. Is this regarding the incident up the street?

murder? Yes.

Double friends have called us. We're... Been very concerned about that.

This is my wife, Eileen, and my daughter, Jennifer.

Yeah, I thought this was the family.

I knew for sure when I saw you. These are the Davises, Magda.

They were the family in the news. Jennifer was just reunited with them

missing for 20 years. Oh, yeah, of course.

I'm surprised you remember me. Oh, God, you were all over the news. I feel like

I know you.

The victim died between midnight and 2 a .m., and we were hoping that maybe some

of the neighbors may have witnessed something.

I mean, we were in bed by 11. We were asleep.

What about you, Jennifer?

I was on the phone with my study partner, Sue, from about 12 to 12 .30.

know, towards the end of the conversation, I do recall hearing a loud

it really just sounded like it was from a car exhaust or something.

Did you hear anything after the bang, like voices or cars screeching away or

something? Not that I can remember, no. And you sure it didn't happen any later

than 12 .30?

I'm pretty sure.

I wish I could be more helpful. Well, this is the victim here in his car.

Have you ever seen him before?

He was in the neighborhood, maybe?

Ray Turner.

How did he die?

He was shot to death.

Well, never seen his face or his car.

Well, we don't know yet.

if Mr. Turner was a random victim or if he was specifically targeted for this

crime. So we're just asking everyone to be careful and make sure that your

windows and doors are locked.

And if you see anything or hear anything suspicious, just give me a call.

No warning needed, Inspector.

We learned our lesson years ago.

Okay, we may be looking at a change of plans.

What kind of change?

Well, the baby's heart rate is higher than I'd like and the amnio fluid...

and you're starting to run a slight fever.

Which means? Which means we may have to do a C -section.

Oh, don't worry. The baby's going to be just fine.

I mean, all the tests show that the baby's lungs are fully developed, and

the main thing we worry about when babies come early.

Well, do we have a choice?

Well, at this point, yes. I mean...

We can give you antibiotics.

We can induce you and see if the baby comes quickly.

And if he doesn't? And if he doesn't, then you'd have to have a C -section.

What would you do?

Well, there's a better than 50 -50 chance that you're going to end up with

-section, even if we do induce.

So if it were me, I'd just do it now.

You're going to be there, all right?

I'm going to lie down on the table next to you if they let me.

Well, we won't, but you can certainly sit next to her.

You're going to be awake throughout the whole thing.

Okay, I guess let's do that then.

Good.

Trouble? Some.

Possession. Not to mention Ray Turner.

Now, what about Ray Turner?

Well, you fronted him a pound of meth, then he turned up dead last night.

Hey, that ain't on me.

I have an alibi.

We're listening. Where were you between midnight and 2 a .m.? I was in a

custodial situation.

You were in jail.

Drunk and disorderly. So what? So you ordered to hit him? Why?

I got no motive.

Speaking hypothetically, until legal consideration is given for my

Turner was from out of town.

A stranger.

I'm not going to front him anything.

So Turner never worked for you? Of course not.

He was a dubious individual.

And I got a certain reputation to uphold.

So he paid for the drugs?

Hypothetically. He had a big bag of cash to give away.

Where hypothetically did he give you this big bag of cash?

The place he was staying.

The Landau Hotel.

The Landau Hotel.

Brings back memories.

I lived here for about a month. I was working undercover at Vice.

Crack pipe, couple of rocks.

Hey, why is the floor so sticky?

Don't ask questions you don't want answers to, Raina.

Okay, so, Turner's basically a borderline vagrant. Who would want to

I'm the same person who's looking for this.

So... Borderline vagrant's got about $1 ,000 worth of cash in a shoebox under

his bed, and he's got about $9 ,000 worth of meth in the trunk of his car

Duke Stingley tells us he also paid cash for.

Well, he must have recently come into the money, because he'd be living better

than this.

Wait, did he rob somebody?

Pull off some con?

Guy tracked him down and shot him?

Maybe. Maybe not.

So, Ray Turner has a felony record in five states.

Drugs, default, grand larceny, weapons.

Well, he was obviously collecting articles about the Davis' reunion with

daughter. And he was murdered two blocks away from their home. There's got to be

some connection.

I think you're right. Go find out what it is.

Blake Hicks, the last in a long line of private investigators hired by the Davis

family to find their daughter. The only difference is he actually found her.

Luck or talent?

Yeah, depends upon who's answering that question.

Either way, he was well -paid.

The Davises rewarded Hicks with a $500 ,000 bonus when he found him. Nice piece

of change.

Did you work in Las Vegas?

As a cocktail waitress.

Ray Turner was also from Vegas.

Coincidence? Turner was staying in a hotel off the Strip. He checked out

days ago.

Checked into the Landau that same night.

What do we got back from forensics?

He was killed by a .38 single slug, traveled up through the abdomen at a 60

-degree angle and lodged in a cart.

It was a weird angle, but the rain washed away most of the fingerprints and

gunshot residue.

What about Deuce Dingley?

I love saying that name.

Dead end. He was in a drunk tank all night.

I remember when Jennifer Davis was kidnapped.

She was three years old, same age as Amanda.

One minute she was playing on her front lawn, next minute, gone.

Yeah, I remember when she was found. I was the same age as her, too.

You know what? Maybe Turner saw Jennifer's picture in the paper and

know, got obsessed with her.

No, it doesn't fit his profile. He's not a stalker. More likely he's just

targeted her for a crime.

Why don't you go have your little chat with Mr. Hicks? See if you can find a

link between Jennifer Davis and Turner. Not hearsay, second -hand information.

Knowledge. Proof.

A direct link.

You know, I always wanted to be a cop, but I never scored high enough on the

exams. I'm one of those really smart guys who just, I just don't do well on

standardized tests. You know what I mean? No, please, please.

Call me Blake. Yeah, whatever. Look, just give us the details on how you look

Jennifer Davis.

Well, you got a couple hours?

How about giving us the abridged version?

All right.

Five -year -old girl found abandoned in a supermarket in Kansas in 1986.

Called herself Sunflower.

Said she was living in a car with this man and woman who she said were her

parents.

Placed in foster care, raised in various homes, then she ran away when she was

15, moved to New Mexico, and then the bottom. And this was Jennifer Davis?

No, she was Ellen Baker when I found her.

But I knew once I started interviewing her, I knew I was onto something.

Since she'd been having these dreams, she was a kid, raised in a big, nice

house, little white, fluffy dog, and I knew that Davis has had a Maltese.

They'd used to sleep in Jennifer's bed when she was a kid. So, you know,

gradually the memories started coming back.

What can you tell us about Ray Turner?

Help? The guy who's been calling your office half a dozen times over the past

month. We have the phone records.

Wrong numbers, Blake.

It's a confidentiality issue.

Look, if you don't start talking to us now, you will be dealing with a serious

getting arrested issue.

He was Jennifer's boyfriend in Vegas.

He brought Jennifer to my attention.

Why did you lie?

When I first found Jennifer, she was a waitress in a topless club.

She'd been drinking heavily. She was a mess.

When the DNA test confirmed that she was Davis' daughter, she asked me if I

could spare her family from the story of her life, you know, the people that she

associated with.

I promised her I wouldn't. So the Davises didn't know about Ray Turner?

No. Why was Turner calling you?

For money.

You know, I sent him a couple of bucks now and then, because, you know, he

turned me on to Jennifer.

But after a while, I got tired of him, so I cut it off.

And he didn't try to contact you when he came to San Francisco?

Well, he's in San Francisco. Was he in jail?

Close. The morgue.

I can cook. I don't know what you're talking about.

I'm sorry if I've come at a bad time. No, no, it's fine. It's fine. Hi.

Hi. It's my birthday.

Oh, it's your birthday. They think this is amusing, but I can cook. Thank you

very much. No, don't threat.

Please. So you have more questions about your case? Yeah, actually, I need to

speak with Jennifer alone.

It's about that loud bang that you heard. We're pretty sure that it was a

gunshot, so we're just trying to get a precise timeline on it.

Okay, sure, yeah.

Can I get you some coffee or tea? I would love a cup of coffee. Thank you.

It's okay.

It's okay, Dad.

Like I was saying, I heard a sound. I don't know why I'm here, Jennifer.

I need you to tell me about Ray Turner and why you denied knowing him.

Wouldn't you deny knowing somebody like that? Yeah.

To my family and to my friends, but not to the police.

I met Ray in the spring of 2000.

I was working in a strip club. I was drinking and doing

drugs. But please don't tell my parents.

I'm not here to judge you.

or how you lived your life, okay? That's not my job.

Now, did you know that Ray was here in San Francisco?

Ray tracked me down last week on campus.

He said that he still loved me and that he wanted to get back together.

He had this fantasy that my parents had given me a six -figure bank account.

That's all he was after.

And what did you tell him? The truth.

That I get a small allowance.

And I work a minimum wage part -time job.

I drove Ray to the bank and gave him everything that I had in my checking

account.

Everything. That was only about $700.

And he took it.

And I never saw him again.

Was Ray infusing you?

Did he become violent and make you feel like you needed to defend yourself?

I didn't kill him if that's where you're going.

I'm not sorry that he's dead.

You see, 18 months ago, I would have bought into Ray's lie that he still

me, he still cared.

But now that I'm here, now that I'm home with my family, my mom and my

dad, for the first time in my life, I truly know what love

really is.

Now I know.

We're done here.

Actually, we're not.

Jennifer, the man that was murdered, I knew him.

So Ray Turner arrived in San Francisco. He's broke, and he's been collecting

newspaper stories about how well his ex -girlfriend's been living.

He's looking for the big score, and Jennifer pays him 700 bucks.

No, her bank records show that's all she really had in her account.

Yeah, then how come he had almost $1 ,000 in cash in his hotel room and he

bought $9 ,000 worth of drugs?

Well, let's assume for a minute that Jennifer has access to more money in her

parents' account. If she's so desperate not to reveal her past, maybe she's

paying Ray Turner off to keep his mouth shut.

So he shows up thinking he's getting a big pile of cash and she shoots him

instead. It's so hard to imagine her doing something like that. Well, if

anyone's capable of anything under the right circumstances, first rule of the

job.

Well, I'm going to go with this theory.

Jennifer claims that she only saw Ray Turner that one time. A week ago at

school, and then they drove to the bank.

Okay, well, we've got to find someone who can put them together just that

Yes, we are.

Come on. Take this outside.

There's a lot of people out there.

The windows are tinted. They can't see anything.

I can see out, Des.

I don't want to get caught, you know?

I've seen sex in the car since, like, high school. Well, then I'll show you

you've been missing, okay?

I've become the new L .I. Guess what?

I do.

We should not.

Why are you stopping now? I mean, because I don't want to get sent to the

principal's office, you know?

You're such a tease.

I'm just going to have to find someone else to satisfy me. I need a man!

I will

not take no for an answer.

Guess I can wait that long.

Ten bucks an hour, 25 for the day.

No discounts for the PD.

I want you to take a look at this picture. Don't breathe in my direction.

forget that you said that.

Now, the man who's been staying in room 207 for the past week, Ray Turner, have

you seen him with this woman?

No.

Are you sure?

Take your time.

A body like hers, I would have remembered her.

Him I saw.

Who?

Him. I saw him a couple of nights ago.

Met Turner in the lobby.

He wasn't a happy man.

Get back to bed, Nate.

We're just getting started.

I gotta go.

Get those pants off now.

Suzanne, that is a loaded gun.

I'm gonna put it down on the table.

Come and get it.

It was a joke.

You know, I was thinking we could meet at my place from now

on. Oh, yeah. Your place. That would be a great idea. Do you think your husband

might mind?

He finds out, he finds out. I don't care.

Yeah, you probably really don't care. You probably get off on that.

Come on.

Are you really going to walk out that door, Inspector Bath, though?

Suzanne, you're married.

To a cop.

I... I can't do this anymore.

So that's it.

It's over.

Come on, Suzanne.

You and I both know that this wasn't some great love affair.

Well, you don't make the rules up around here, Nate.

You'll be back.

No, I won't.

Bye.

Mr. Davis, you lied to us.

To protect my daughter.

And I'd do it again.

How'd you meet Ray Turner?

He came to my office four days ago. He said he had some information about

Jennifer.

He said she worked as a stripper. He had nude photographs of her.

He said I don't have to pay for his silence or else he would take his story

those photographs to those trash tabloid newspapers.

That's when you gave him the $10 ,000?

The following day.

I went to that hotel, handed him the money.

I told him that was all he was getting. If he wanted more, I was going to go to

the police.

Then I left.

And you never saw him again?

No. Did you tell Jennifer what happened?

Why would I?

I don't care what kind of woman she was. I love her for who she is.

What about your wife?

She doesn't know about Jennifer's past, and she never will.

Not at the moment.

If you'll excuse me, I have an appointment.

You know, Mr. Davis, not every killing is first -degree murder. There are

different degrees of murder.

There are justifiable cases.

There's manslaughter.

We'd like to be able to tell the district attorney your side of the

Davis.

You're bluffing, Captain.

Goodbye.

He's right.

We're bluffing. We don't have a thing to hold him on.

So, we have some new information on our friend Ray Turner's life in Vegas.

Guess where he lived before he moved into the motel?

I'm thinking a trailer park. Think again.

He lived in a comp room at Caesar's Palace.

For over a year.

His high roller?

Oh yeah, Armani's suit, um...

Leaf, jack, convertible.

So, October 14, 2002, Turner deposits $50 ,000 in cash into his bank account.

Then for the next four weeks, $50 ,000 more each week, all in cash.

$250 ,000 total.

And he didn't win that money gambling. We already checked with the IRS.

16 months later, the account is penniless.

Caesars kicks him out. And he goes back to his true calling, being a miserable,

worthless bum.

So, here's the curious thing.

October 14, 2002, the date all this money started rolling in.

That's three days after the Davis, Fiz, and Jennifer were reunited.

Morning, inspectors.

You, uh, got a cheating husband case or a cheating wife case here?

Wife. From the look of it, the fleet's in.

Good for her. We got a few questions about our case, though.

Fire away. Why did you give Ray Turner $250 ,000?

What? We have bank records from 18 months ago indicating you withdrew $300

from your bank account within the first five weeks of receiving your bonus for

finding Jennifer David.

Ray Turner deposited $250 ,000 into his account during that time period, and

each deposit Turner made was exactly one day after your withdrawal.

Okay, you know what? You guys are barking up the wrong tree here.

You better tell us the real story real fast, or it's about to get real

unpleasant for you.

Look, you earned your $500 ,000 bond.

So if there's any legitimate explanation as to why you gave Ray Turner half of

it, then there should be no reason why you can't tell us, right?

Okay. I gave Turner the money.

Why? Look, I slightly exaggerated about the part that I played in Finding

Jennifer Davis.

The truth is, Turner did most of the work.

He saw an artist's sketch of Jennifer on TV on Unsolved Crimes, and he looks

into her background.

Somehow he found out about my bonus. He calls me up. He says, I think I got the

girl that you're looking for, but I won't bring her forward unless you agree

split half your payday. So what choice did I have?

I said, okay, if the DNA tests match, then fine, I'll take the deal.

Why didn't you tell us this from the beginning?

Well, I don't want people to know that Jennifer just dropped in my lap.

It's bad for business.

It's not good for your ego.

Where were you during the time Ray Turner was killed?

I was doing some surveillance work on the cult and the masonic and the hate. I

was there from about 10 at night till 6 in the morning. Anybody see you?

Well, the whole idea of surveillance is not to be seen.

You guys don't believe that I killed him.

Except yourself, it's bad for business if the truth comes out about how you

found Jennifer.

Hey, you know what?

I'm not talking anymore without my lawyer.

I thought I just had the wildest dream.

Thank you.

How are you?

I'm fine.

Nurse set me up walking around.

Yeah, you should have woken me up. Oh, please. You look so peaceful.

You guys look a lot alike when you sleep here.

Yeah.

Kind of have to believe in miracles after this, huh?

It is.

Hey,

I did that background work on Blake Hicks you asked for. It's pretty

interesting. Interesting is good.

Mr. Hicks was on the verge of bankruptcy when he found Jennifer Davis.

And his only steady income he had was a yearly contract with Joe Davis.

which was up for renewal.

So he got his half -million -dollar bonus just before he went under?

he had his Chapter 11 papers ready to be filed.

That's pretty interesting timing.

He took $300 ,000 out of the bank and gave $250 ,000 to Ray Turner, right? So

what did Hicks do with the extra $50 ,000 in cash that he withdrew from his

account? Would you believe one more payoff?

I just spoke to a guy named Ted Brody. Hicks paid him $50 ,000 to alter

Jennifer's DNA test.

Signed a full confession.

Jennifer's DNA didn't match.

So she's not Joe and Eileen Davis' biological daughter.

So the whole thing was a scam all along.

That's a search warrant for your home, Mr. Davis.

Well, what are you looking for? The murder weapon.

Dad? It's all right, honey.

Mr. Davis, you have a .38 Smith & Wesson registered in your name? Well, you can

say it was a lot of trouble if you just tell us where it is.

The gun was stolen a year ago at the Target range. Well, did you file a

report? No.

Did you notify the range master?

I don't remember.

Mr. Davis, we have a warrant. Now, we can turn your house upside down if you'd

like. Go ahead.

You know, this is ridiculous.

Wait, leave my father alone. It's okay, Jennifer. Stay right here. Look, we've

just met two partial fingerprints found in Ray Turner's car. And they belong to

you, so you want to tell us how they got there? Yes.

When I first met him, we talked in his car.

That's not what you told us, Mr. Davis. You said the first time you met him, he

came to your office.

He did.

I just met...

He was waiting outside my office, all right? Turn around, place your hands

behind your back. For what? What are you doing?

You're under arrest for the murder of Ray Turner. I didn't murder anybody. You

didn't do anything.

You didn't kill Ray Turner.

I killed Ray Turner.

So how did Ray get you to meet with him?

Ray called me and said he was in trouble. He said some men were after him

they wanted to kill him.

He needed a weapon to protect himself.

He needed to get out of town.

And if I could get him a gun, then he'd leave and I'd never have to worry about

seeing him again.

Are you agreed?

Well, I told him I could probably get one of my dad's guns.

I just wanted him gone.

But that night, as soon as I got into the car, he had the plans that changed.

Six months ago, a friend, a security guy I know, discovered a link between Ray

Turner and Blake Hicks.

But not long after that, he found the false DNA report.

And you still allow Jennifer to live in your home? Why?

By that time, she had lived with us for a year.

She was... Jennifer is a wonderful girl. My wife and I both had grown to love

her. She was part of a plot to defraud you, Mr. Davis?

I don't think so.

Ray Turner was physically and emotionally abusive to her.

She had no memories of her life when she was a child, no idea who her true

parents were.

Hicks fed her personal stories that we had had about our daughter's childhood.

Hicks said he thought she actually started believing they really happened

her. That still makes her an accomplice to a crime.

All she wanted out of the deal was a home, a chance for a new life.

And we needed a daughter to be in our life.

See, Ray had somehow figured out that I was in my parents' will.

He was going to go into the house and kill him and make it look like a home

invasion robbery.

And we could split the jackpot. And live happily ever after.

You never tried to prosecute Turner or Hicks?

I told Hicks if he kept his mouth shut, he could keep the bonus.

We both agreed that it was best not to tell Turner.

If he found out that I knew about the crime and wasn't going to prosecute,

just use the information against me.

Better to let him go on living in fear of being caught and sent to jail.

He was holding a gun.

He was checking it to make sure that it was loaded.

First, I couldn't believe he was actually serious.

But then he told me to stay in the car, that it would all be over quick, that

they wouldn't suffer.

I remember he put the gun in his pocket, and I screamed.

And I tried to pull the gun handle away from him, and we struggled, and the gun

went off.

And what did you do then?

I ran.

And I didn't even realize until I had the gun, until I got into my room.

What about your real daughter, sir?

Honestly?

After all those years, Diane, I gave her believing that she was still alive.

Do you mind if we, uh, talk to her mother?

Yeah.

Good night.

Good

night.

Nick Bassel?

Yeah? I'm Chet Richland.

Suzanne Tuzman?

Son of a bitch.

Nate, come in.

Oh, my God. Look at you.

Who did this to you?

Fine, I'm calling an ambulance.

Her husband.

It was Suzanne's husband.

What did he end up looking like?

Not a scratch on him.

He's a cop.

Right?

So you just let him do that to you?

Well, congratulations, Nate.

You've been beating yourself up for months. Now you have help.

So have you learned your lesson from all of this?

I mean, I need to know so that I can get used to looking at you like this.

Look, I'm going to go in now.

Kiss him to clean your face up, okay?

So this other dad says to me, he says by his third kid, he finally figures out

that if he puts a towel under the car seat base, he gets a perfect fit.

It saves your upholstery, too.

Nice parking space.

How'd you manage that?

Hey, are you kidding me? For my son and his mother, I can do anything.

Yeah, you found my police tag in a glove compartment, didn't you? Yeah, well,

that helped, too.

Hey, you warm up? You want to wait inside?

Well, you figure this isn't going to take a while.

No, no, I told you I got it all figured out.

All right, then we'll just wait here.

All right, you have to remember, no matter what, your dad is a really fine

painter.

Hey. Yeah.

I have a proposition for you. Uh -huh?

Get that car seat in in five minutes.

I'll marry you.

You serious?

Yeah.

If you still want to.

Oh yeah, I want to.

So what are you waiting for?

I'm waiting for you to set a date.

That is it.

You ready?

Yeah. Can you take him for a second? Yeah.

Come here, little man.

Come here.

I got you. There you go.

Thank you.

You all right? Oh, yeah.

Hey,

Jim.

I want you to know something.

Even if none of this had happened, I still want to spend the rest of my life

with you.

I believe that.

And I want that too.
