1
00:00:03,103 --> 00:00:05,205
The story you are about to see
2
00:00:05,238 --> 00:00:07,674
was inspired by actual events.
3
00:00:07,707 --> 00:00:09,142
The names have been changed
4
00:00:09,175 --> 00:00:10,377
to protect the innocent.
5
00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:16,316
{\an8}*
6
00:00:16,349 --> 00:00:19,085
It was Monday, it was
warm in Los Angles.
7
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:20,453
My partner and I were
working the day shift
8
00:00:20,487 --> 00:00:22,389
out of robbery homicide.
9
00:00:22,422 --> 00:00:24,424
The call came at 11:15.
10
00:00:24,457 --> 00:00:27,293
Abandoned car,
Santa Monica Canyon.
11
00:00:27,327 --> 00:00:29,429
Female decomposed body.
12
00:00:29,462 --> 00:00:31,664
Possible gunshot to the head.
13
00:00:31,698 --> 00:00:33,466
A fire department
brush clearance team
14
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:35,435
spotted the car.
15
00:00:35,468 --> 00:00:38,138
Santa Monica Canyon was on
the western edge of the city,
16
00:00:38,171 --> 00:00:40,507
quiet, isolated.
17
00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:43,109
That was one of the
strange things about LA.
18
00:00:43,143 --> 00:00:44,344
Patches of barren wilderness
19
00:00:44,377 --> 00:00:46,446
hidden in a vast metropolis.
20
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,481
People came out here
to forget the city.
21
00:00:48,515 --> 00:00:51,151
Sometimes, if they were unlucky,
22
00:00:51,184 --> 00:00:53,586
the city forgot them.
23
00:00:53,620 --> 00:00:55,188
My name's Friday.
24
00:00:55,221 --> 00:00:56,122
I'm a cop.
25
00:00:56,156 --> 00:00:58,191
Seven Series Beemer
went over the edge.
26
00:00:58,224 --> 00:00:58,758
Could have sat there forever,
27
00:00:58,792 --> 00:00:59,659
no one would have known.
28
00:00:59,693 --> 00:01:00,560
You on this one?
29
00:01:00,593 --> 00:01:02,595
Captain knew I was
on call in Santa Monica,
30
00:01:02,629 --> 00:01:03,563
asked if I could swing by.
31
00:01:03,596 --> 00:01:05,632
Any idea how long the
car was down there?
32
00:01:05,665 --> 00:01:08,335
Tag says April '97,
we're running the plates.
33
00:01:08,368 --> 00:01:11,171
Six years, anything
left of the victim?
34
00:01:11,204 --> 00:01:13,306
Depends on your
definition of anything.
35
00:01:13,340 --> 00:01:14,474
Mind if I stay in on this?
36
00:01:14,507 --> 00:01:16,176
Well, if it is
what it looks like
37
00:01:16,209 --> 00:01:17,711
everyone will be in it.
38
00:01:17,744 --> 00:01:19,346
Detective, take a look.
39
00:01:19,379 --> 00:01:20,613
Adult female.
40
00:01:20,647 --> 00:01:22,916
Freshly mummified
from the elements.
41
00:01:22,949 --> 00:01:25,352
The skull is shattered here.
42
00:01:25,385 --> 00:01:27,320
It could have happened
when she drove off the road.
43
00:01:27,354 --> 00:01:29,356
Looks more like a
small caliber gunshot,
44
00:01:29,389 --> 00:01:30,357
that's why I called it in.
45
00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:31,358
Anyone touch this car?
46
00:01:31,391 --> 00:01:32,625
No, not on the inside.
47
00:01:32,659 --> 00:01:34,160
I don't think she
drove off the road.
48
00:01:34,194 --> 00:01:35,695
You don't drive off
a cliff in neutral.
49
00:01:35,729 --> 00:01:37,330
Maybe a robbery?
50
00:01:37,364 --> 00:01:39,165
I don't see any
jewelry or a handbag.
51
00:01:39,199 --> 00:01:40,633
Maybe she picked up
someone she shouldn't have.
52
00:01:40,667 --> 00:01:42,168
I don't think you drive a BMW
53
00:01:42,202 --> 00:01:44,337
and pick up hitchhikers.
54
00:01:44,371 --> 00:01:46,239
Well, whoever did this,
55
00:01:46,272 --> 00:01:48,375
why don't they take the car?
56
00:01:48,408 --> 00:01:49,409
Looks like she had a son,
57
00:01:49,442 --> 00:01:51,745
maybe 15, 16.
58
00:01:51,778 --> 00:01:54,948
Okay, auto status
says car was registered
59
00:01:54,981 --> 00:01:57,217
to Christopher
and Carolyn Meeker.
60
00:01:57,250 --> 00:02:00,587
{\an8}*
61
00:02:00,620 --> 00:02:02,322
Six years.
62
00:02:02,355 --> 00:02:03,289
You couldn't help wondering
63
00:02:03,323 --> 00:02:06,259
what had happened in
this house since then.
64
00:02:06,292 --> 00:02:09,195
A child becoming an
adult without his mother,
65
00:02:09,229 --> 00:02:11,765
a husband mourning
the loss of his wife.
66
00:02:11,798 --> 00:02:13,600
Time had stopped
for Carolyn Meeker.
67
00:02:13,633 --> 00:02:15,635
For those who loved her,
68
00:02:15,669 --> 00:02:17,370
life had gone on.
69
00:02:17,404 --> 00:02:18,605
How had they coped?
70
00:02:18,638 --> 00:02:20,707
Who had they been then?
71
00:02:20,740 --> 00:02:23,209
And who would they be now?
72
00:02:23,243 --> 00:02:26,446
I kept hoping the
phone would ring.
73
00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:27,747
She'd say she was sorry,
74
00:02:27,781 --> 00:02:30,550
that she was coming back.
75
00:02:35,689 --> 00:02:37,323
Are you sure it's Carolyn?
76
00:02:37,357 --> 00:02:39,259
We'll know better
after the autopsy.
77
00:02:46,533 --> 00:02:49,336
I uh...
78
00:02:49,369 --> 00:02:52,272
I'd thought she'd abandoned us.
79
00:02:52,305 --> 00:02:53,673
Why did you think that?
80
00:02:53,707 --> 00:02:55,575
Too many business trips.
81
00:02:55,608 --> 00:02:58,311
I actually...
82
00:02:58,345 --> 00:03:02,582
I said it to my son.
83
00:03:02,615 --> 00:03:05,251
I thought she was
having an affair
84
00:03:05,285 --> 00:03:07,620
and that she ran
off with someone.
85
00:03:07,654 --> 00:03:09,322
When was the last
time you saw her?
86
00:03:09,356 --> 00:03:10,790
It was dinner the night before.
87
00:03:10,824 --> 00:03:13,626
I left early the next
morning to go the airport.
88
00:03:13,660 --> 00:03:17,330
I had this consulting business.
89
00:03:19,366 --> 00:03:20,767
My son called
90
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,770
and said that she
didn't come home.
91
00:03:23,803 --> 00:03:27,273
So I called her
office and her friend.
92
00:03:30,510 --> 00:03:31,811
I called the police.
93
00:03:31,845 --> 00:03:35,348
Other than the idea that
she was having an affair
94
00:03:35,382 --> 00:03:36,716
was there anything else?
95
00:03:36,750 --> 00:03:39,052
Didn't make any sense.
96
00:03:39,085 --> 00:03:42,288
She had everything.
97
00:03:42,322 --> 00:03:45,425
She had a great job,
she loved it, ConSec.
98
00:03:45,458 --> 00:03:48,461
They're defense contractors.
99
00:03:48,495 --> 00:03:49,429
I went on TV,
100
00:03:49,462 --> 00:03:52,732
I asked everyone if
they'd seen her, nothing.
101
00:03:55,502 --> 00:03:57,737
People say,
102
00:03:57,771 --> 00:04:02,509
"Move on, let it go.
103
00:04:02,542 --> 00:04:04,844
You'll recover from this".
104
00:04:04,878 --> 00:04:06,880
You know what?
105
00:04:06,913 --> 00:04:09,482
You never do.
106
00:04:09,516 --> 00:04:13,853
{\an8}*
107
00:04:13,887 --> 00:04:16,423
Christopher Meeker was right.
108
00:04:16,456 --> 00:04:18,358
We say we recover
from the worst,
109
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:20,794
the truth is, people don't.
110
00:04:20,827 --> 00:04:22,395
We could offer one thing,
111
00:04:22,429 --> 00:04:24,531
a version of finality.
112
00:04:24,564 --> 00:04:27,534
Who took this woman from
the people who loved her?
113
00:04:27,567 --> 00:04:29,502
What would the evidence tell us?
114
00:04:29,536 --> 00:04:31,938
Single shot fired into
the right frontal lobe.
115
00:04:31,971 --> 00:04:32,939
Stomach contents?
116
00:04:32,972 --> 00:04:34,541
The insects took care of that.
117
00:04:34,574 --> 00:04:36,543
But the other
organs in a remarkable
118
00:04:36,576 --> 00:04:37,811
state of preservation.
119
00:04:37,844 --> 00:04:38,778
That's her uterus,
120
00:04:38,812 --> 00:04:40,447
completely mummified.
121
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,582
Appeared slightly enlarged
so I did some sections.
122
00:04:42,615 --> 00:04:43,850
I expected endometriosis,
123
00:04:43,883 --> 00:04:44,884
maybe cancer,
124
00:04:44,918 --> 00:04:49,723
but that is clearly an embryo.
125
00:04:49,756 --> 00:04:50,957
Eight weeks at most.
126
00:04:50,990 --> 00:04:52,559
Carolyn Meeker was pregnant.
127
00:04:52,592 --> 00:05:02,602
{\an8}*
128
00:05:02,635 --> 00:05:22,622
{\an8}*
129
00:05:22,655 --> 00:05:42,375
{\an8}*
130
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:47,981
{\an8}I've ever seen.
131
00:05:48,014 --> 00:05:50,917
{\an8}Detective on the case
was Louisa Reiner.
132
00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:52,786
{\an8}Retired, spend more
time with her kids.
133
00:05:52,819 --> 00:05:54,054
{\an8}She'll be here in ten minutes.
134
00:05:54,087 --> 00:05:55,488
{\an8}From the looks of
it she was good.
135
00:05:55,522 --> 00:05:58,458
{\an8}Over 51 interviews.
136
00:05:58,491 --> 00:05:59,893
{\an8}Anything on the weapon?
137
00:05:59,926 --> 00:06:01,428
{\an8}...22 Browning automatic.
138
00:06:01,461 --> 00:06:03,063
{\an8}Start at the beginning
of that, call everyone.
139
00:06:03,096 --> 00:06:04,264
{\an8}What are they gonna
remember after six years?
140
00:06:04,297 --> 00:06:07,734
{\an8}Anything they've thought about
her since she disappeared.
141
00:06:07,767 --> 00:06:09,102
{\an8}Six years, a
month hasn't gone by
142
00:06:09,135 --> 00:06:11,871
{\an8}I haven't thought
about Carolyn Meeker.
143
00:06:11,905 --> 00:06:13,807
{\an8}She was about my age.
144
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:14,941
{\an8}Sixteen year old son,
145
00:06:14,974 --> 00:06:16,109
{\an8}my boy was 16.
146
00:06:16,142 --> 00:06:18,511
{\an8}She was very
successful, big bucks,
147
00:06:18,545 --> 00:06:21,781
{\an8}but found the time to
volunteer for a nursing home,
148
00:06:21,815 --> 00:06:24,017
{\an8}just one of those weird things
that sticks in your head.
149
00:06:24,050 --> 00:06:26,486
{\an8}Husband had some vague
idea about an affair.
150
00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:28,221
{\an8}Her friends said
she was distracted,
151
00:06:28,254 --> 00:06:30,123
{\an8}something on her mind.
152
00:06:30,156 --> 00:06:32,092
{\an8}She came home late a
couple of times too often.
153
00:06:32,125 --> 00:06:34,794
{\an8}Says here that she had cashed
in corporate stock options
154
00:06:34,828 --> 00:06:36,830
{\an8}just a week before
she disappeared.
155
00:06:36,863 --> 00:06:38,932
{\an8}Yeah, it was a
defense contractor,
156
00:06:38,965 --> 00:06:40,533
{\an8}350 grand.
157
00:06:40,567 --> 00:06:41,468
{\an8}Well, that's motive.
158
00:06:41,501 --> 00:06:42,235
{\an8}Her husband?
159
00:06:42,268 --> 00:06:43,470
{\an8}No, no.
160
00:06:43,503 --> 00:06:45,038
{\an8}First of all he was out of town.
161
00:06:45,071 --> 00:06:47,574
{\an8}Everyone said they were happy.
162
00:06:47,607 --> 00:06:49,876
{\an8}And uh, on top of it all
she was making a fortune,
163
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:50,810
{\an8}twice what he did.
164
00:06:50,844 --> 00:06:53,580
{\an8}So you never thought
of any suspects, nobody?
165
00:06:53,613 --> 00:06:55,882
{\an8}I thought about
the son, Zachary.
166
00:06:55,915 --> 00:06:58,585
{\an8}He had no alibi, truancy,
167
00:06:58,618 --> 00:07:00,220
{\an8}ran with a bad crowd.
168
00:07:00,253 --> 00:07:01,988
{\an8}The father never mentioned that.
169
00:07:02,022 --> 00:07:04,991
{\an8}Kid ended up doing juvy time.
170
00:07:05,025 --> 00:07:07,193
{\an8}Him along with a
couple other kids.
171
00:07:07,227 --> 00:07:10,063
{\an8}Liquor store, armed robbery.
172
00:07:10,096 --> 00:07:11,798
{\an8}Just tagging along,
173
00:07:11,831 --> 00:07:13,199
{\an8}those guys weren't
even my friends.
174
00:07:13,233 --> 00:07:15,135
{\an8}Why go through with
the robbery then?
175
00:07:15,168 --> 00:07:17,871
{\an8}Just being a punk.
176
00:07:17,904 --> 00:07:19,973
{\an8}Acting out, I guess.
177
00:07:20,006 --> 00:07:22,142
{\an8}We found that in the
car with your mother.
178
00:07:25,979 --> 00:07:27,280
{\an8}Six years now I uh,
179
00:07:27,313 --> 00:07:30,283
{\an8}thought she bailed on me.
180
00:07:30,316 --> 00:07:35,255
{\an8}It's like I can't let myself
believe that she's um...
181
00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:38,625
{\an8}She's dead.
182
00:07:38,658 --> 00:07:40,293
{\an8}Do you,
183
00:07:40,326 --> 00:07:41,194
{\an8}do you know who killed her?
184
00:07:41,227 --> 00:07:43,863
{\an8}We have a lot of
unanswered questions.
185
00:07:43,897 --> 00:07:46,800
{\an8}Does that include, you know,
186
00:07:46,833 --> 00:07:48,301
{\an8}someone she might
have been seeing?
187
00:07:48,335 --> 00:07:49,536
{\an8}Well, why would you say that?
188
00:07:49,569 --> 00:07:54,007
{\an8}Blew off school one day, went
down to Melrose, bought some CDs
189
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,309
{\an8}and I saw her in a
restaurant with this guy.
190
00:07:56,343 --> 00:07:58,144
{\an8}My mom looked pretty upset
191
00:07:58,178 --> 00:08:01,114
{\an8}and this guy reached
over and took her hand.
192
00:08:01,147 --> 00:08:02,849
{\an8}And he just kept holding it
193
00:08:02,882 --> 00:08:04,050
{\an8}and my mom was letting him.
194
00:08:04,084 --> 00:08:06,052
{\an8}And that's the last
time you saw them?
195
00:08:06,086 --> 00:08:07,554
{\an8}I know they were
together another time,
196
00:08:07,587 --> 00:08:09,289
{\an8}um, a business trip.
197
00:08:09,322 --> 00:08:13,593
{\an8}I called her hotel
and a guy answered.
198
00:08:13,626 --> 00:08:14,627
{\an8}I'm not really sure it was him,
199
00:08:14,661 --> 00:08:18,164
{\an8}but who else could it have been.
200
00:08:18,198 --> 00:08:20,633
{\an8}You didn't mention this to
the police six years ago?
201
00:08:20,667 --> 00:08:23,203
{\an8}I was 16 then.
202
00:08:23,236 --> 00:08:27,073
{\an8}I didn't know what to think.
203
00:08:27,107 --> 00:08:30,176
{\an8}I was mad.
204
00:08:30,210 --> 00:08:33,880
{\an8}I figured she
doesn't wanna be found,
205
00:08:33,913 --> 00:08:35,215
{\an8}I'm not gonna look.
206
00:08:35,248 --> 00:08:39,352
{\an8}Do you remember the
date that you called?
207
00:08:39,386 --> 00:08:42,689
{\an8}How could I forget that one?
208
00:08:42,722 --> 00:08:47,127
{\an8}It was the uh, night before
we robbed the liquor store.
209
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,194
{\an8}You think that was honest?
210
00:08:48,228 --> 00:08:49,963
{\an8}Sure, this was his mother.
211
00:08:49,996 --> 00:08:51,631
{\an8}Feels guilty for
being angry at her.
212
00:08:51,664 --> 00:08:52,332
{\an8}Look what he tells us.
213
00:08:52,365 --> 00:08:53,967
{\an8}I get angry, I act out.
214
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,168
{\an8}He calls a hotel.
215
00:08:55,201 --> 00:08:57,704
{\an8}A man who's not his father
answers the phone, then what?
216
00:08:57,737 --> 00:08:58,638
{\an8}He robs the store.
217
00:08:58,672 --> 00:08:59,673
{\an8}You think he lost control?
218
00:08:59,706 --> 00:09:01,274
{\an8}Maybe, he's got no alibi,
219
00:09:01,307 --> 00:09:02,909
{\an8}thinks his mother's
having an affair.
220
00:09:02,942 --> 00:09:04,144
Are you honestly telling
me you think that kid
221
00:09:04,177 --> 00:09:05,645
murdered his mother?
222
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:06,646
When I add it all up, no,
223
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:07,380
but something's wrong.
224
00:09:07,414 --> 00:09:08,148
What?
225
00:09:08,181 --> 00:09:09,282
I don't know.
226
00:09:09,315 --> 00:09:12,118
But he gave us the date
of his mother's hotel stay.
227
00:09:12,152 --> 00:09:16,222
Let's call ConSec, see if
they have her travel records.
228
00:09:16,256 --> 00:09:20,126
We were horrified by
the news about Carolyn.
229
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,728
Please.
230
00:09:21,761 --> 00:09:24,698
You worked with
her at that time.
231
00:09:24,731 --> 00:09:29,102
I brought Carolyn into the
company, she was my protégé.
232
00:09:29,135 --> 00:09:31,905
Truth is if she
hadn't disappeared
233
00:09:31,938 --> 00:09:34,341
she'd have ended
up CEO and not me.
234
00:09:34,374 --> 00:09:36,009
She must have been very smart.
235
00:09:36,042 --> 00:09:37,377
They don't come much smarter.
236
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:40,146
She turned our guidance
system division around
237
00:09:40,180 --> 00:09:41,181
in six months.
238
00:09:41,214 --> 00:09:43,016
Looking back is there
anything you've thought
239
00:09:43,049 --> 00:09:44,951
that might help explain
her disappearance?
240
00:09:44,984 --> 00:09:47,053
Wasn't it a
robbery or something?
241
00:09:47,087 --> 00:09:48,054
What can I tell you?
242
00:09:48,088 --> 00:09:50,090
Well, for example, she
exercised stock options
243
00:09:50,123 --> 00:09:51,324
at the same time.
244
00:09:51,358 --> 00:09:53,159
Yeah, the police
asked about that,
245
00:09:53,193 --> 00:09:54,294
I don't know what to say,
246
00:09:54,327 --> 00:09:56,062
she was cautious about money.
247
00:09:56,096 --> 00:09:58,264
Did other executives
cash in their options?
248
00:09:58,298 --> 00:10:00,233
I'm sorry, why would
that have anything to do
249
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:02,969
with Carolyn's disappearance?
250
00:10:03,003 --> 00:10:06,006
Mr. Hindle, it's
a simple question.
251
00:10:06,039 --> 00:10:08,108
Look, it was a
long time ago, I...
252
00:10:08,141 --> 00:10:10,310
This was a smart
guy, Martin Hindle.
253
00:10:10,343 --> 00:10:12,445
He knew all about stock options.
254
00:10:12,479 --> 00:10:13,313
What they were worth,
255
00:10:13,346 --> 00:10:14,314
when you sold,
256
00:10:14,347 --> 00:10:16,016
when you didn't
257
00:10:16,049 --> 00:10:19,686
Six years ago Carolyn Meeker
sold hers, he knew why.
258
00:10:19,719 --> 00:10:21,187
He didn't wanna tell us.
259
00:10:21,221 --> 00:10:23,423
Thank you.
260
00:10:23,456 --> 00:10:25,392
Carolyn's former assistant
261
00:10:25,425 --> 00:10:29,062
has the travel
records that you wanted.
262
00:10:29,095 --> 00:10:31,097
She was terrific.
263
00:10:31,131 --> 00:10:33,199
She treated me
like a real person.
264
00:10:33,233 --> 00:10:35,001
Did you know her
outside of work?
265
00:10:35,035 --> 00:10:35,902
Ah, not really.
266
00:10:35,935 --> 00:10:38,004
She was awfully busy
most of the time.
267
00:10:38,038 --> 00:10:39,973
Before she disappeared
did you notice any change
268
00:10:40,006 --> 00:10:43,476
in her behavior?
269
00:10:43,510 --> 00:10:45,378
Well, I didn't think
about it til later.
270
00:10:45,412 --> 00:10:48,381
She was...
271
00:10:48,415 --> 00:10:50,083
Yeah, I don't know what it was.
272
00:10:50,116 --> 00:10:51,251
For years I made all the calls
273
00:10:51,284 --> 00:10:53,286
and then suddenly she started
closing her office door
274
00:10:53,319 --> 00:10:54,821
and making her own calls.
275
00:10:54,854 --> 00:10:57,090
Possibly to a man who
wasn't her husband?
276
00:10:57,123 --> 00:10:59,459
No.
277
00:10:59,492 --> 00:11:01,828
Not Carolyn, no, not,
278
00:11:01,861 --> 00:11:03,096
absolutely not, no.
279
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:07,033
She would've never
cheated on Chris.
280
00:11:07,067 --> 00:11:09,736
If you had seen Carolyn
with her family, you'd know.
281
00:11:09,769 --> 00:11:11,471
She wasn't that
kind of a person.
282
00:11:11,504 --> 00:11:14,407
Ah, Carolyn's travel,
283
00:11:14,441 --> 00:11:17,344
September through October 1997.
284
00:11:18,278 --> 00:11:19,412
Carolyn Meeker had some secrets.
285
00:11:19,446 --> 00:11:20,380
You mean an affair.
286
00:11:20,413 --> 00:11:22,849
Maybe, or maybe something
entirely different.
287
00:11:22,882 --> 00:11:24,384
Hindle was holding
something back.
288
00:11:24,417 --> 00:11:26,286
Why did she cash
in those options?
289
00:11:26,319 --> 00:11:27,487
That's something we
need to follow up.
290
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,123
Before that I want you to see
where they are on the gun.
291
00:11:30,156 --> 00:11:31,124
They've dug some
bullet fragments
292
00:11:31,157 --> 00:11:34,127
out of Carolyn Meeker's
skull, sent them over.
293
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,796
Your shooter used
a hollow point .22.
294
00:11:36,830 --> 00:11:39,299
Man, when you said "fragments"
you really meant it.
295
00:11:39,332 --> 00:11:41,434
What about the shell casings
they found in the BMW?
296
00:11:41,468 --> 00:11:42,869
Here it is.
297
00:11:42,902 --> 00:11:45,338
This you can get a match on.
298
00:11:45,372 --> 00:11:49,109
Pin strike and extraction marks.
299
00:11:49,142 --> 00:11:50,844
Well, there's only one problem.
300
00:11:50,877 --> 00:11:51,845
What makes us think
301
00:11:51,878 --> 00:11:53,279
we're gonna find a gun
302
00:11:53,313 --> 00:11:57,083
used in a six year old murder?
303
00:11:57,117 --> 00:11:59,486
The guy you just spoke
with, uh, Martin Hindle?
304
00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:01,855
According to this he
said the same exact thing
305
00:12:01,888 --> 00:12:04,357
about Carolyn Meeker when he
was interviewed six years ago.
306
00:12:04,391 --> 00:12:05,892
Run him, see if
anything turns up,
307
00:12:05,925 --> 00:12:09,229
sexual harassment
charges, anything.
308
00:12:09,262 --> 00:12:12,265
Carolyn Meeker was at the
Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco
309
00:12:12,298 --> 00:12:14,100
three weeks before
she disappeared.
310
00:12:14,134 --> 00:12:15,135
Just like the son told us,
311
00:12:15,168 --> 00:12:16,169
around the time of his arrest.
312
00:12:16,202 --> 00:12:17,037
All right, get the names
313
00:12:17,070 --> 00:12:18,171
of all the male
guests at the same time,
314
00:12:18,204 --> 00:12:20,907
look for anyone who was
alone and had an LA address.
315
00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:23,176
Carolyn Meeker's son,
the armed robbery?
316
00:12:23,209 --> 00:12:24,577
I checked the juvenile record.
317
00:12:24,611 --> 00:12:26,913
One of the kids fired a
gun to scare the clerk.
318
00:12:26,946 --> 00:12:27,414
What kind of gun?
319
00:12:27,447 --> 00:12:28,348
A .22 Ruger.
320
00:12:28,381 --> 00:12:30,183
Carolyn Meeker was
shot with a Browning.
321
00:12:30,216 --> 00:12:32,285
Ballistics said
they weren't sure.
322
00:12:32,318 --> 00:12:33,253
Check with evidence,
323
00:12:33,286 --> 00:12:37,424
see if they have the
gun from the robbery.
324
00:12:37,457 --> 00:12:39,225
It didn't seem
likely that Zack Meeker
325
00:12:39,259 --> 00:12:41,194
was involved in
his mother's death.
326
00:12:41,227 --> 00:12:42,595
But we follow every lead.
327
00:12:42,629 --> 00:12:44,297
Was it possible?
328
00:12:44,330 --> 00:12:45,532
Could we match the gun
329
00:12:45,565 --> 00:12:47,267
used by a friend
of Zack Meeker's
330
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:48,935
to the gun that
killed his mother?
331
00:12:48,968 --> 00:12:50,270
I know, we thought
Carolyn Meeker
332
00:12:50,303 --> 00:12:52,305
was shot with a Browning.
333
00:12:52,339 --> 00:12:53,406
Could it have been a Ruger?
334
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,241
Browning, Ruger, Beretta, maybe.
335
00:12:55,275 --> 00:12:56,276
Hard to tell from fragments.
336
00:12:56,309 --> 00:12:59,479
Either way, you don't
get anything from this.
337
00:12:59,512 --> 00:13:01,514
Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, stop.
338
00:13:01,548 --> 00:13:03,383
Okay, there, there's
a mark on the lens.
339
00:13:03,416 --> 00:13:06,353
Turn the slug from the robbery.
340
00:13:06,386 --> 00:13:07,487
That's something.
341
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,956
Yeah, something I'd
never testify to.
342
00:13:09,989 --> 00:13:11,424
If the son killed his mother,
343
00:13:11,458 --> 00:13:14,227
this doesn't make your case.
344
00:13:14,260 --> 00:13:15,628
Zack Meeker's a dead end.
345
00:13:15,662 --> 00:13:16,629
No way to rule him out?
346
00:13:16,663 --> 00:13:18,431
No way to rule him in.
347
00:13:18,465 --> 00:13:20,233
He might still be helpful.
348
00:13:20,266 --> 00:13:23,269
DMV photos for men all
stayed at the Fairmont
349
00:13:23,303 --> 00:13:25,538
at the same time
as Carolyn Meeker.
350
00:13:25,572 --> 00:13:26,439
Maybe one of them's the same guy
351
00:13:26,473 --> 00:13:28,475
Zack saw his mother with.
352
00:13:28,508 --> 00:13:37,584
{\an8}*
353
00:13:37,617 --> 00:13:39,586
Oh my God.
354
00:13:39,619 --> 00:13:41,521
That's him.
355
00:13:41,554 --> 00:13:42,455
That, that's the guy.
356
00:13:42,489 --> 00:13:44,557
You sure?
357
00:13:44,591 --> 00:13:45,992
Yeah, he was sitting with
her at the restaurant,
358
00:13:46,026 --> 00:13:47,460
I wouldn't forget that face.
359
00:13:47,494 --> 00:13:49,229
Gerald Canin?
360
00:13:49,262 --> 00:13:51,498
She ever mention
that name before?
361
00:13:51,531 --> 00:13:53,266
No.
362
00:13:53,299 --> 00:13:55,568
But I mean, that's
him, I remember him.
363
00:13:55,602 --> 00:13:56,803
He had this habit,
364
00:13:56,836 --> 00:13:59,673
he was running his hands through
his hair like it was thinning
365
00:13:59,706 --> 00:14:03,343
and he was feeling
it or something.
366
00:14:03,376 --> 00:14:05,979
And the, the way he
stared at her, I mean,
367
00:14:06,012 --> 00:14:10,016
he was always
staring at her, always.
368
00:14:10,050 --> 00:14:11,284
He did remember.
369
00:14:11,317 --> 00:14:13,486
He was telling the truth.
370
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,256
It was as if we were
back there right now.
371
00:14:16,289 --> 00:14:17,457
Still, I couldn't help wondering
372
00:14:17,490 --> 00:14:20,193
was he remembering
the right things?
373
00:14:20,226 --> 00:14:21,961
What had he forgotten?
374
00:14:21,995 --> 00:14:25,565
What had the passage
of six years erased?
375
00:14:25,598 --> 00:14:27,334
My mom was uh,
376
00:14:27,367 --> 00:14:31,471
was cheating on my dad, right?
377
00:14:31,504 --> 00:14:34,708
That's him.
378
00:14:34,741 --> 00:14:37,043
Did he kill her?
379
00:14:37,077 --> 00:14:40,213
{\an8}*
380
00:14:40,246 --> 00:14:43,216
Gerald Canin was in
room 404 of the Fairmont
381
00:14:43,249 --> 00:14:44,517
the night Carolyn
Meeker was there.
382
00:14:44,551 --> 00:14:46,019
She was in 406.
383
00:14:46,052 --> 00:14:48,488
That helps if you
wanna have an affair.
384
00:14:48,521 --> 00:14:50,323
Gerald Canin, UCLA Law,
385
00:14:50,357 --> 00:14:52,726
used to work for the Public
Interest Policy Counsel.
386
00:14:52,759 --> 00:14:54,027
Is that government?
387
00:14:54,060 --> 00:14:55,628
It's left wing
consumer advocates.
388
00:14:55,662 --> 00:14:56,596
She's a corporate officer,
389
00:14:56,629 --> 00:14:58,732
why is she having an
affair with the enemy?
390
00:14:58,765 --> 00:15:00,467
The year Carolyn
Meeker disappeared
391
00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:02,535
Gerald Canin quit his
job as man of the people
392
00:15:02,569 --> 00:15:04,571
and opened a patio
furniture store.
393
00:15:04,604 --> 00:15:06,072
Canin, Gerald.
394
00:15:06,106 --> 00:15:08,441
Registered Smith and Wesson .38.
395
00:15:08,475 --> 00:15:09,609
What's the year
of the registration?
396
00:15:09,642 --> 00:15:12,312
Uh, November '97.
397
00:15:12,345 --> 00:15:13,313
Well, I have a question.
398
00:15:13,346 --> 00:15:15,482
Are we so sure that an
affair and a pregnancy
399
00:15:15,515 --> 00:15:16,416
are motives for murder?
400
00:15:16,449 --> 00:15:17,417
Here's another question.
401
00:15:17,450 --> 00:15:19,753
What's a public interest
lawyer doing with a gun?
402
00:15:19,786 --> 00:15:21,388
Let's ask him.
403
00:15:22,555 --> 00:15:23,556
Mrs. Canin?
404
00:15:23,590 --> 00:15:24,124
Yes.
405
00:15:24,157 --> 00:15:25,458
Detective Friday, LAPD,
406
00:15:25,492 --> 00:15:27,327
my partner Detective Beltran.
407
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,062
Is your husband home?
408
00:15:29,095 --> 00:15:30,397
What's this about?
409
00:15:30,430 --> 00:15:35,268
Daddy, door.
410
00:15:35,301 --> 00:15:37,771
Ah, it's okay
honey, go on in.
411
00:15:37,804 --> 00:15:40,106
We need to ask you some
questions about Carolyn Meeker.
412
00:15:40,140 --> 00:15:43,009
Yeah, mind if we
do this out here?
413
00:15:45,812 --> 00:15:48,581
I saw about Carolyn on the news.
414
00:15:48,615 --> 00:15:51,351
Maybe it'd be easier if you
came downtown to talk with us.
415
00:15:51,384 --> 00:15:52,485
I'm not sure I
could be much help,
416
00:15:52,519 --> 00:15:53,420
I only knew her briefly
417
00:15:53,453 --> 00:15:55,588
and I don't remember
that much about her.
418
00:15:55,622 --> 00:15:56,589
Well, maybe it
would jog your memory
419
00:15:56,623 --> 00:15:59,392
if we told you you were
a suspect in her murder.
420
00:15:59,426 --> 00:16:03,630
{\an8}*
421
00:16:08,401 --> 00:16:11,237
What my client says never
goes beyond this room.
422
00:16:11,271 --> 00:16:12,472
Counselor, he can talk now
423
00:16:12,505 --> 00:16:13,807
or he can talk in
front of a grand jury.
424
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:14,808
Uh-uh.
425
00:16:14,841 --> 00:16:18,144
What he's going to say
puts him at great risk.
426
00:16:18,178 --> 00:16:20,080
If he sounds paranoid
he's got a right to.
427
00:16:20,113 --> 00:16:22,182
If he needs protection
we'll make sure he gets it.
428
00:16:26,252 --> 00:16:29,255
In July 1997 I got
a call from a woman
429
00:16:29,289 --> 00:16:31,391
who wouldn't identify herself.
430
00:16:31,424 --> 00:16:33,493
Do you know what Carolyn
Meeker did at ConSec?
431
00:16:33,526 --> 00:16:34,694
Department head on her way up.
432
00:16:34,728 --> 00:16:39,399
She oversaw risk analysis on
the laser guidance systems.
433
00:16:39,432 --> 00:16:44,137
Their biggest client was
the Defense Department.
434
00:16:44,170 --> 00:16:46,272
I uh, I first met her in,
435
00:16:46,306 --> 00:16:48,141
in the garage of the Chandler.
436
00:16:48,174 --> 00:16:50,810
She was uh,
437
00:16:50,844 --> 00:16:52,579
she was scared.
438
00:16:52,612 --> 00:16:54,314
She said that they were
suppressing evidence
439
00:16:54,347 --> 00:16:57,150
of design flaws in their systems
440
00:16:57,183 --> 00:16:59,252
and she had documents
to prove the cover up.
441
00:16:59,285 --> 00:17:00,253
How did she get to you?
442
00:17:00,286 --> 00:17:01,421
She saw me on TV.
443
00:17:01,454 --> 00:17:05,258
I was loud in those days.
444
00:17:07,427 --> 00:17:10,397
She trusted me uh,
told me who she was
445
00:17:10,430 --> 00:17:11,598
and that she wanted
to blow the whistle
446
00:17:11,631 --> 00:17:13,233
and get a federal investigation.
447
00:17:13,266 --> 00:17:16,369
You think ConSec is behind
Carolyn Meeker's death.
448
00:17:16,403 --> 00:17:17,637
Does that surprise you?
449
00:17:17,671 --> 00:17:20,340
What surprises me is you met
this women in garages in hotels
450
00:17:20,373 --> 00:17:21,875
for a couple of months.
451
00:17:21,908 --> 00:17:25,845
And you're making this sound
like it was all business.
452
00:17:25,879 --> 00:17:27,180
Did you have an affair?
453
00:17:27,213 --> 00:17:29,416
No, I didn't.
454
00:17:29,449 --> 00:17:33,386
She was the most courageous
woman that I ever knew.
455
00:17:33,420 --> 00:17:37,657
She wanted her life
to make a difference.
456
00:17:37,691 --> 00:17:41,194
Why'd you buy a .38?
457
00:17:41,227 --> 00:17:42,696
She disappeared, I was
scared out of my mind.
458
00:17:42,729 --> 00:17:45,165
Wouldn't you be?
459
00:17:45,198 --> 00:17:47,867
Do you have anything
to back this up?
460
00:17:54,674 --> 00:17:55,542
What do you think?
461
00:17:55,575 --> 00:17:56,910
I think it's a stretch.
462
00:17:56,943 --> 00:17:58,511
You didn't like
Carolyn Meeker's boss.
463
00:17:58,545 --> 00:17:59,679
Wanna go back and squeeze him?
464
00:17:59,713 --> 00:18:01,314
No, if there's
any case to be made
465
00:18:01,348 --> 00:18:03,316
I wanna talk to a DA first.
466
00:18:03,350 --> 00:18:04,317
You think Carolyn
Meeker was murdered
467
00:18:04,351 --> 00:18:05,452
because she was
a whistleblower?
468
00:18:05,485 --> 00:18:06,686
It's a lead, what do you think?
469
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,922
I wanna hear what our science
guy thinks of the documents.
470
00:18:08,955 --> 00:18:10,557
Gerald Canin sounds legit.
471
00:18:10,590 --> 00:18:12,926
Please, Canin thought
Velcro was a conspiracy.
472
00:18:12,959 --> 00:18:14,494
I have trouble with
conspiracy theories, too,
473
00:18:14,527 --> 00:18:16,329
this is hard to buy.
474
00:18:16,363 --> 00:18:17,564
I read your stuff, guys.
475
00:18:17,597 --> 00:18:19,165
It's scary.
476
00:18:19,199 --> 00:18:20,734
If these are real ConSec
knew its guidance systems
477
00:18:20,767 --> 00:18:22,235
were prone to failure.
478
00:18:22,268 --> 00:18:23,336
You're saying they
knew they were making
479
00:18:23,370 --> 00:18:24,604
a defective product.
480
00:18:24,637 --> 00:18:26,439
Defective and
potentially dangerous.
481
00:18:26,473 --> 00:18:27,540
If that was in the "LA Times"
482
00:18:27,574 --> 00:18:30,377
company officers would
start worrying about prison.
483
00:18:30,410 --> 00:18:31,211
Where do you start?
484
00:18:31,244 --> 00:18:32,345
ConSec's a big company.
485
00:18:32,379 --> 00:18:34,514
Carolyn Meeker's boss was
a man named Martin Hindle.
486
00:18:34,547 --> 00:18:35,615
Now CEO.
487
00:18:35,648 --> 00:18:37,350
Hindle, you sure can pick 'em.
488
00:18:37,384 --> 00:18:39,185
Talk about the height
of respectability.
489
00:18:39,219 --> 00:18:41,488
White collar criminals,
respectable until indicted.
490
00:18:41,521 --> 00:18:42,689
Hey, we're not talking fraud.
491
00:18:42,722 --> 00:18:45,959
We're talking murder for hire.
492
00:18:45,992 --> 00:18:47,027
I'm not convinced.
493
00:18:47,060 --> 00:18:48,595
At the very least we
need to know Carolyn Meeker
494
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:50,397
really was gonna
blow the whistle.
495
00:18:50,430 --> 00:18:51,965
If you were gonna
rat out your employer
496
00:18:51,998 --> 00:18:54,467
who would you tell first?
497
00:18:54,501 --> 00:18:56,469
I knew she was having
some problems at work,
498
00:18:56,503 --> 00:18:59,372
but we never talked specifics.
499
00:18:59,406 --> 00:19:00,674
We believe your wife
was going to the feds
500
00:19:00,707 --> 00:19:02,942
over a cover up at ConSec.
501
00:19:02,976 --> 00:19:04,711
That's serious stuff.
502
00:19:04,744 --> 00:19:06,379
Wouldn't she have
shared that with you?
503
00:19:06,413 --> 00:19:07,580
I knew she was concerned,
504
00:19:07,614 --> 00:19:10,583
something about test results?
505
00:19:10,617 --> 00:19:12,385
But that was her job.
506
00:19:12,419 --> 00:19:13,787
She was more than concerned.
507
00:19:13,820 --> 00:19:15,588
These were
confidential documents.
508
00:19:15,622 --> 00:19:18,324
Look, even if what you say
is true what would they do?
509
00:19:18,358 --> 00:19:19,759
This is not the
most ethical company,
510
00:19:19,793 --> 00:19:23,997
but they wouldn't
resort to murder.
511
00:19:24,030 --> 00:19:25,732
It didn't make sense.
512
00:19:25,765 --> 00:19:29,235
Was Carolyn Meeker planning
to blow the whistle or not?
513
00:19:29,269 --> 00:19:31,538
If she was wouldn't she
have told her husband?
514
00:19:31,571 --> 00:19:33,540
Maybe she wouldn't
have told anyone else,
515
00:19:33,573 --> 00:19:35,308
she certainly
would have told him.
516
00:19:35,342 --> 00:19:37,010
Carolyn Meeker was on the brink.
517
00:19:37,043 --> 00:19:39,012
That's why Canin was so
scared when she disappeared.
518
00:19:39,045 --> 00:19:41,548
The question is why
didn't her husband know.
519
00:19:41,581 --> 00:19:42,749
Beltram.
520
00:19:42,782 --> 00:19:45,385
Yeah.
521
00:19:45,418 --> 00:19:46,419
Okay, thanks.
522
00:19:46,453 --> 00:19:47,587
That was the DOC.
523
00:19:47,620 --> 00:19:48,755
A prisoner in Calipatria
524
00:19:48,788 --> 00:19:50,790
has some information
on Carolyn Meeker.
525
00:19:50,824 --> 00:19:52,292
Wants to trade.
526
00:19:52,325 --> 00:19:54,361
Ah, they'll be coming
out of the woodwork.
527
00:19:54,394 --> 00:19:56,296
What the hell, go
up and see him.
528
00:19:56,329 --> 00:19:58,431
Ugh, it's 150 miles.
529
00:19:58,465 --> 00:20:00,333
Take Langler along,
he's good company.
530
00:20:00,367 --> 00:20:02,235
I know you like looking at him.
531
00:20:03,703 --> 00:20:04,771
Carolyn Meeker,
532
00:20:04,804 --> 00:20:06,306
shot in the head,
533
00:20:06,339 --> 00:20:07,640
October '97.
534
00:20:07,674 --> 00:20:09,542
Keep talking.
535
00:20:09,576 --> 00:20:11,378
What do I get?
536
00:20:11,411 --> 00:20:13,580
Well, you don't get
a reduced sentence.
537
00:20:13,613 --> 00:20:16,316
But you can raise
my comfort level.
538
00:20:16,349 --> 00:20:17,584
Transfer me to Lancaster,
539
00:20:17,617 --> 00:20:19,853
I wanna be closer to my wife.
540
00:20:19,886 --> 00:20:21,454
Gilbert Muncie.
541
00:20:21,488 --> 00:20:23,456
Thirty-five years
with an armed robbery,
542
00:20:23,490 --> 00:20:24,491
one strike prior,
543
00:20:24,524 --> 00:20:28,395
and manslaughter with
an unidentified object.
544
00:20:28,428 --> 00:20:30,463
You all pulled the
Meeker woman out of her car
545
00:20:30,497 --> 00:20:32,632
in the Santa Monica
mountains, right?
546
00:20:32,665 --> 00:20:34,534
Everyone read that in the paper.
547
00:20:34,567 --> 00:20:37,871
The paper said she
was done with a .22.
548
00:20:37,904 --> 00:20:39,739
Yeah.
549
00:20:39,773 --> 00:20:41,841
Yeah, she was shot
in her Mercedes.
550
00:20:41,875 --> 00:20:44,077
Beemer.
551
00:20:44,110 --> 00:20:47,380
You're on a roll.
552
00:20:47,414 --> 00:20:50,483
You do for us, we do for you.
553
00:20:50,517 --> 00:20:51,785
Well, I once was on the block
554
00:20:51,818 --> 00:20:53,853
with a man named Ancona.
555
00:20:53,887 --> 00:20:55,722
Ancona, huh?
556
00:20:55,755 --> 00:20:56,856
Got a first name?
557
00:20:56,890 --> 00:20:59,459
Jon, J-O-N, big talker.
558
00:20:59,492 --> 00:21:01,828
I must have heard this
story a hundred times.
559
00:21:01,861 --> 00:21:04,397
Well, we just need
to hear it once.
560
00:21:04,431 --> 00:21:07,767
He had a thing for
blondes who caught his eye.
561
00:21:07,801 --> 00:21:09,502
You know, you never
know who's behind you
562
00:21:09,536 --> 00:21:12,772
on line at the grocery store.
563
00:21:12,806 --> 00:21:14,874
He followed her out,
he put a gun on her,
564
00:21:14,908 --> 00:21:16,443
had her drive to a nice spot,
565
00:21:16,476 --> 00:21:18,611
but when he tried to get it on,
566
00:21:18,645 --> 00:21:22,782
well, she rejected his advances.
567
00:21:22,816 --> 00:21:24,651
{\an8}*
568
00:21:24,684 --> 00:21:26,386
He took it badly.
569
00:21:26,419 --> 00:21:27,854
He popped her, took her cash,
570
00:21:27,887 --> 00:21:31,558
some hardware, and dumped
her car down in the woods.
571
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:34,861
I never believe these stories.
572
00:21:34,894 --> 00:21:36,396
Any reason to believe this one?
573
00:21:36,429 --> 00:21:37,797
He knew about the .22.
574
00:21:37,831 --> 00:21:38,798
Yeah, and we didn't release that
575
00:21:38,832 --> 00:21:41,101
so he didn't hear about
it on the 5:00 news.
576
00:21:41,134 --> 00:21:42,669
No, he definitely knew details.
577
00:21:42,702 --> 00:21:44,771
What do we have on the
con who he says killed her?
578
00:21:44,804 --> 00:21:47,707
Uh, Jon Ancona, half a bad ass.
579
00:21:47,741 --> 00:21:49,743
Armed robbery, assault, rape.
580
00:21:49,776 --> 00:21:50,643
Fits the bill.
581
00:21:50,677 --> 00:21:51,878
Ancona got out of
Quentin a month ago
582
00:21:51,911 --> 00:21:54,647
and until two weeks ago he was
living up north in Danville.
583
00:21:54,681 --> 00:21:55,382
Where's he living now?
584
00:21:55,415 --> 00:21:55,849
He's not.
585
00:21:55,882 --> 00:21:57,017
- What?
- Dead.
586
00:21:57,050 --> 00:22:00,553
Jon Ancona was shot during
an armed robbery last week.
587
00:22:00,587 --> 00:22:03,556
San Jose.
588
00:22:03,590 --> 00:22:04,891
It's a setup.
589
00:22:04,924 --> 00:22:06,159
Suspect conveniently dead,
590
00:22:06,192 --> 00:22:09,829
someone doesn't want us to find
out who killed Carolyn Meeker.
591
00:22:09,863 --> 00:22:11,464
Get the prison visitor's log.
592
00:22:11,498 --> 00:22:13,433
Someone visited your
snitch in the last 24 hours,
593
00:22:13,466 --> 00:22:17,437
told him exactly what to say.
594
00:22:17,470 --> 00:22:19,873
You visited your husband
in Calipatria yesterday.
595
00:22:19,906 --> 00:22:21,841
I go out there whenever I can.
596
00:22:21,875 --> 00:22:22,909
He gets lonely.
597
00:22:22,942 --> 00:22:25,679
Listen, Regina, your
husband told us a story um,
598
00:22:25,712 --> 00:22:27,681
now we think he
was paid to tell it.
599
00:22:27,714 --> 00:22:29,149
What's that got to do with me?
600
00:22:29,182 --> 00:22:31,151
Someone gave him
the information
601
00:22:31,184 --> 00:22:33,186
he was trying to sell.
602
00:22:33,219 --> 00:22:34,821
You were the only
person that visited him.
603
00:22:34,854 --> 00:22:35,822
I don't know what you mean.
604
00:22:35,855 --> 00:22:38,158
He's probably hustling you.
605
00:22:38,191 --> 00:22:39,325
He does that.
606
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,997
So uh, how do I get one of
these with food stamps, huh?
607
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:46,466
I work half days when
I can get a sitter.
608
00:22:46,499 --> 00:22:47,701
Oh.
609
00:22:47,734 --> 00:22:51,905
So that's what, you make seven,
eight bucks an hour, yeah?
610
00:22:51,938 --> 00:22:53,807
Regina, someone paid him to lie,
611
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:54,874
you got the money.
612
00:22:54,908 --> 00:22:56,943
Nobody paid me anything.
613
00:22:56,976 --> 00:22:57,977
Then you wouldn't
mind showing us
614
00:22:58,011 --> 00:23:02,515
your most recent paystubs.
615
00:23:02,549 --> 00:23:03,917
Without a warrant
616
00:23:03,950 --> 00:23:08,822
I don't have to show you
anything but the door.
617
00:23:08,855 --> 00:23:10,824
Well, this was fun.
618
00:23:10,857 --> 00:23:15,829
We'll stay in touch.
619
00:23:15,862 --> 00:23:17,030
She went up there to her husband
620
00:23:17,063 --> 00:23:18,498
and told him to make up a story.
621
00:23:18,531 --> 00:23:19,399
What are you people saying?
622
00:23:19,432 --> 00:23:21,201
Major corporate
executives paid a convict
623
00:23:21,234 --> 00:23:22,702
to screw up your investigation?
624
00:23:22,736 --> 00:23:23,703
It's been known to happen.
625
00:23:23,737 --> 00:23:25,739
Carolyn Meeker was a
threat to that company.
626
00:23:25,772 --> 00:23:27,974
Says who, some burned
out left wing radical?
627
00:23:28,008 --> 00:23:30,210
Your expert liked the evidence.
628
00:23:30,243 --> 00:23:33,013
Listen, anyone ever
hear of Karen Silkwood?
629
00:23:33,046 --> 00:23:34,514
Lot of people think
that she was killed
630
00:23:34,547 --> 00:23:35,648
by the nuclear power industry.
631
00:23:35,682 --> 00:23:36,916
Sandy, I agree with you,
632
00:23:36,950 --> 00:23:39,052
I don't think corporations are
running around killing people,
633
00:23:39,085 --> 00:23:42,522
but we do need to get back
there and talk to her boss.
634
00:23:42,555 --> 00:23:43,757
Sandy, they've got
to confront this guy,
635
00:23:43,790 --> 00:23:44,858
see what he says.
636
00:23:44,891 --> 00:23:46,693
Then your chief gets a
call from the ConSec lawyers
637
00:23:46,726 --> 00:23:47,861
and you know what they say.
638
00:23:47,894 --> 00:23:49,596
One word of this
leaks to the press
639
00:23:49,629 --> 00:23:52,766
and the city gets
sued for 50 million.
640
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:54,534
My advice, be careful.
641
00:23:54,567 --> 00:23:56,870
Don't piss this guy off.
642
00:23:56,903 --> 00:23:59,039
Come on, you don't think
anyone from this company
643
00:23:59,072 --> 00:24:00,774
was involved in her death.
644
00:24:00,807 --> 00:24:01,908
What would it have cost
645
00:24:01,941 --> 00:24:04,544
had Carolyn Meeker gone
public with those documents?
646
00:24:04,577 --> 00:24:05,945
Absolutely nothing.
647
00:24:05,979 --> 00:24:07,981
We lost that contract in '99,
648
00:24:08,014 --> 00:24:09,549
Clinton Administration,
649
00:24:09,582 --> 00:24:10,417
budget cuts.
650
00:24:10,450 --> 00:24:13,253
Can you answer two
direct questions?
651
00:24:13,286 --> 00:24:14,220
Ask them.
652
00:24:14,254 --> 00:24:17,257
Did you know Carolyn
Meeker had the documents?
653
00:24:17,290 --> 00:24:20,593
Did you know she
was going public?
654
00:24:20,627 --> 00:24:21,995
We knew.
655
00:24:22,028 --> 00:24:24,064
That probably shook
things up around here.
656
00:24:24,097 --> 00:24:26,266
I'll tell you
exactly what we did.
657
00:24:26,299 --> 00:24:29,035
It's the way you
handle these things.
658
00:24:29,069 --> 00:24:30,937
The general counsel
in the company
659
00:24:30,970 --> 00:24:32,972
took me to Carolyn's house.
660
00:24:33,006 --> 00:24:35,575
We told her and her husband
661
00:24:35,608 --> 00:24:38,111
that we would litigate
them into the ground,
662
00:24:38,144 --> 00:24:39,579
they would be destroyed,
663
00:24:39,612 --> 00:24:41,881
they'd need expensive lawyers,
664
00:24:41,915 --> 00:24:44,951
they'd spend every nickel
that they had ever saved.
665
00:24:44,984 --> 00:24:47,320
When it was over,
they'd be broke.
666
00:24:47,354 --> 00:24:48,955
Back up.
667
00:24:48,988 --> 00:24:50,557
You said her husband was there.
668
00:24:50,590 --> 00:24:51,591
Chris Meeker?
669
00:24:51,624 --> 00:24:53,860
He was there, he was terrified.
670
00:24:53,893 --> 00:24:56,996
He knew precisely what
his wife was doing.
671
00:24:57,030 --> 00:24:59,799
And he wasn't too
happy about it.
672
00:24:59,833 --> 00:25:04,037
{\an8}*
673
00:25:07,140 --> 00:25:09,209
Carolyn had concerns.
674
00:25:09,242 --> 00:25:11,144
ConSec threatened
you and your wife.
675
00:25:11,177 --> 00:25:13,179
They basically told you your
lives would be destroyed.
676
00:25:13,213 --> 00:25:14,347
A meeting like that?
677
00:25:14,381 --> 00:25:17,183
That's not something you forget.
678
00:25:17,217 --> 00:25:19,019
Look.
679
00:25:19,052 --> 00:25:20,987
They're a powerful company.
680
00:25:21,021 --> 00:25:23,957
Why would I say
anything about them?
681
00:25:23,990 --> 00:25:25,125
They wanted to hurt me now,
682
00:25:25,158 --> 00:25:26,259
they still could.
683
00:25:26,292 --> 00:25:27,961
He was different this time.
684
00:25:27,994 --> 00:25:29,896
His pain was gone.
685
00:25:29,929 --> 00:25:30,930
In its place,
686
00:25:30,964 --> 00:25:33,066
self assurance, confidence.
687
00:25:33,099 --> 00:25:34,668
It all sounded reasonable,
688
00:25:34,701 --> 00:25:36,136
except for one thing.
689
00:25:36,169 --> 00:25:38,204
They'd threatened
him six years ago.
690
00:25:38,238 --> 00:25:40,640
And he's afraid to tell us now?
691
00:25:40,674 --> 00:25:41,941
How could it matter?
692
00:25:41,975 --> 00:25:43,276
She realized that
those documents
693
00:25:43,309 --> 00:25:44,678
were not gonna be enough,
694
00:25:44,711 --> 00:25:46,713
and so she reconsidered
the whole thing.
695
00:25:46,746 --> 00:25:48,148
You're saying she
changed her mind.
696
00:25:48,181 --> 00:25:50,183
No, she never committed
to it in the first place.
697
00:25:50,216 --> 00:25:51,284
It's like I told you.
698
00:25:51,317 --> 00:25:52,686
She thought about it
699
00:25:52,719 --> 00:25:54,621
and in the end she decided
700
00:25:54,654 --> 00:25:57,357
that it wasn't worth the risk.
701
00:25:59,693 --> 00:26:00,994
You're not buying.
702
00:26:01,027 --> 00:26:02,095
I'm on a budget,
I'm not buying a story
703
00:26:02,128 --> 00:26:03,129
that changes every day.
704
00:26:03,163 --> 00:26:04,130
Well, he's evasive.
705
00:26:04,164 --> 00:26:05,632
Does that mean he had a
reason to kill his wife?
706
00:26:05,665 --> 00:26:07,334
And call me a sap,
707
00:26:07,367 --> 00:26:09,336
but these two people look
like they loved each other.
708
00:26:09,369 --> 00:26:11,037
At one point they did.
709
00:26:11,071 --> 00:26:12,706
Suppose she wouldn't
be able to get a job.
710
00:26:12,739 --> 00:26:14,140
Suppose they were
gonna be broke.
711
00:26:14,174 --> 00:26:15,175
Is that enough?
712
00:26:15,208 --> 00:26:17,344
Nothing's ever just about money.
713
00:26:17,377 --> 00:26:18,411
I don't believe he did it.
714
00:26:18,445 --> 00:26:19,412
He killed her or he had it done,
715
00:26:19,446 --> 00:26:22,148
the question is why
and how do we prove it.
716
00:26:22,182 --> 00:26:25,652
We need to know a lot
more about Chris Meeker.
717
00:26:25,685 --> 00:26:26,553
No doubt about it.
718
00:26:26,586 --> 00:26:29,189
Chris Meeker, he was
telling the truth.
719
00:26:29,222 --> 00:26:31,758
Said he went to the papers
for help looking for his wife.
720
00:26:31,791 --> 00:26:33,293
Six paragraphs on page 31,
721
00:26:33,326 --> 00:26:35,161
not exactly a desperate attempt.
722
00:26:35,195 --> 00:26:37,297
He was smart enough to
do more if he wanted to.
723
00:26:37,330 --> 00:26:39,165
These diplomas, Stanford.
724
00:26:39,199 --> 00:26:41,001
Full scholarships the whole way.
725
00:26:41,034 --> 00:26:42,235
Full scholarships?
726
00:26:42,268 --> 00:26:43,737
Stanford doesn't hand
out any full rides
727
00:26:43,770 --> 00:26:44,604
for good grades, either,
728
00:26:44,637 --> 00:26:47,040
he was some kind
of all star athlete.
729
00:26:47,073 --> 00:26:48,441
Or he grew up in a
lower tax bracket.
730
00:26:48,475 --> 00:26:51,244
Well, Meeker strikes me as
a guy who comes from money.
731
00:26:51,277 --> 00:26:53,179
Well, guess again.
732
00:26:53,213 --> 00:26:54,381
He's from La Puente.
733
00:26:54,414 --> 00:26:56,149
Not exactly high
going neighborhood.
734
00:26:56,182 --> 00:26:57,317
All right, get a subpoena.
735
00:26:57,350 --> 00:27:00,787
Get Meeker's canceled checks
from July to December '97.
736
00:27:00,820 --> 00:27:03,823
Get his savings and money
market accounts, too.
737
00:27:03,857 --> 00:27:06,159
Feel like taking a ride?
738
00:27:06,192 --> 00:27:08,361
{\an8}*
739
00:27:08,395 --> 00:27:10,263
A trailer park.
740
00:27:10,296 --> 00:27:12,332
Meeker had started
his life here.
741
00:27:12,365 --> 00:27:14,701
The kind of place
you aren't proud of.
742
00:27:14,734 --> 00:27:17,203
A place you'd sooner forget.
743
00:27:17,237 --> 00:27:19,706
I was starting to understand
who Christopher Meeker was.
744
00:27:19,739 --> 00:27:23,843
If Meeker was born rich his
parents sure hid it well.
745
00:27:23,877 --> 00:27:27,080
Oh, this is the one.
746
00:27:27,113 --> 00:27:28,348
Sir.
747
00:27:28,381 --> 00:27:30,283
Meekers still live here?
748
00:27:30,316 --> 00:27:31,384
You're about four years late,
749
00:27:31,418 --> 00:27:33,386
Tom Meeker died of lung cancer.
750
00:27:33,420 --> 00:27:34,721
How long have you lived here?
751
00:27:34,754 --> 00:27:36,022
Twenty years.
752
00:27:36,056 --> 00:27:38,158
Tom lived here at
least twice that long.
753
00:27:38,191 --> 00:27:39,826
You ever talk to Chris?
754
00:27:39,859 --> 00:27:40,727
Chris?
755
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,829
Tom's son.
756
00:27:45,765 --> 00:27:48,201
God, he looks just like Tom.
757
00:27:48,234 --> 00:27:50,136
I knew Tom all those years
758
00:27:50,170 --> 00:27:51,771
and I never knew he had a son.
759
00:27:51,805 --> 00:27:52,839
Thank you.
760
00:27:52,872 --> 00:27:55,241
You're welcome.
761
00:27:55,275 --> 00:27:57,043
Meeker walked
away from all this,
762
00:27:57,077 --> 00:27:58,111
he never looked back.
763
00:27:58,144 --> 00:27:59,012
Can you blame him?
764
00:27:59,045 --> 00:28:01,114
He wanted the
American dream, though.
765
00:28:01,147 --> 00:28:02,082
He had it, too.
766
00:28:02,115 --> 00:28:05,285
Yeah, and he'd have
done anything to keep it.
767
00:28:05,318 --> 00:28:07,320
We're ruling out
an affair as motive
768
00:28:07,354 --> 00:28:09,489
and we're not thinking
some corporate executives
769
00:28:09,522 --> 00:28:11,091
paid for a hired hit.
770
00:28:11,124 --> 00:28:12,459
We're moving off of that.
771
00:28:12,492 --> 00:28:14,761
And based on no physical
evidence whatsoever
772
00:28:14,794 --> 00:28:17,063
we're going with the idea
that the husband killed her.
773
00:28:17,097 --> 00:28:18,098
I grant you,
774
00:28:18,131 --> 00:28:19,799
no physical evidence,
775
00:28:19,833 --> 00:28:21,801
he's got an alibi,
but he has motive.
776
00:28:21,835 --> 00:28:22,769
Oh, come on.
777
00:28:22,802 --> 00:28:23,803
Being poor as a child?
778
00:28:23,837 --> 00:28:25,305
Put yourself in his place.
779
00:28:25,338 --> 00:28:27,774
He grew up with nothing,
less than nothing.
780
00:28:27,807 --> 00:28:29,476
Worked his ass off.
781
00:28:29,509 --> 00:28:31,478
Got the big car,
got the big house,
782
00:28:31,511 --> 00:28:32,445
he had it made.
783
00:28:32,479 --> 00:28:34,147
Erased his childhood.
784
00:28:34,180 --> 00:28:37,217
Then his wife says, "I'm
taking this down on ConSec."
785
00:28:37,250 --> 00:28:38,852
Which, by the way,
will cost us everything".
786
00:28:38,885 --> 00:28:40,120
So he stood to lose his money
787
00:28:40,153 --> 00:28:41,187
so he killed her.
788
00:28:41,221 --> 00:28:43,189
Deeper than money,
it's about him.
789
00:28:43,223 --> 00:28:46,159
It's about who Meeker was
and who he wanted to be.
790
00:28:46,192 --> 00:28:47,460
And she was gonna take
it all away from him.
791
00:28:47,494 --> 00:28:48,495
You got motive,
792
00:28:48,528 --> 00:28:50,230
I got opportunity.
793
00:28:50,263 --> 00:28:51,798
A connection between
Christopher Meeker
794
00:28:51,831 --> 00:28:54,300
and our snitch in Calipatria.
795
00:28:54,334 --> 00:28:56,236
Tell me your snitch
grew up in La Puente.
796
00:28:56,269 --> 00:28:58,471
Not quite, but his wife did.
797
00:28:58,505 --> 00:29:00,874
Regina grew up right
around the corner
798
00:29:00,907 --> 00:29:02,809
from the Royal
Gardens trailer park.
799
00:29:02,842 --> 00:29:03,877
Bingo.
800
00:29:03,910 --> 00:29:04,577
Back to her.
801
00:29:04,611 --> 00:29:06,179
No, she won't budge.
802
00:29:06,212 --> 00:29:07,247
We need someone with information
803
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,348
who's willing to talk.
804
00:29:08,381 --> 00:29:09,382
We talked to everyone.
805
00:29:09,416 --> 00:29:11,317
Well, maybe not, sometimes
the best information
806
00:29:11,351 --> 00:29:14,888
comes from people who
don't even know they have it.
807
00:29:14,921 --> 00:29:16,523
Look, it was six years
ago, I don't remember.
808
00:29:16,556 --> 00:29:17,490
Well, try to think back.
809
00:29:17,524 --> 00:29:21,161
Had anything in the
relationship changed?
810
00:29:21,194 --> 00:29:22,262
Why are you asking this?
811
00:29:22,295 --> 00:29:24,164
Did they fight?
812
00:29:24,197 --> 00:29:25,365
Sure.
813
00:29:25,398 --> 00:29:26,599
Not as bad as some, though,
814
00:29:26,633 --> 00:29:28,868
I had friends whose parents used
to throw things at each other.
815
00:29:28,902 --> 00:29:29,869
The day your mother went missing
816
00:29:29,903 --> 00:29:33,273
your dad was out of town.
817
00:29:33,306 --> 00:29:35,508
Yeah, Phoenix.
818
00:29:35,542 --> 00:29:36,910
What's with the questions?
819
00:29:36,943 --> 00:29:38,478
Do you remember
how long that trip
820
00:29:38,511 --> 00:29:40,246
may have been
planned in advance?
821
00:29:46,353 --> 00:29:48,955
I don't, I don't know
whether or not it was planned.
822
00:29:48,988 --> 00:29:52,592
He told us he was gonna
leave the night before.
823
00:29:54,494 --> 00:29:55,528
I'm gonna go.
824
00:29:55,562 --> 00:29:56,563
I only have a few
more questions.
825
00:29:56,596 --> 00:29:57,464
Yeah, well you know what?
826
00:29:57,497 --> 00:30:00,500
I don't wanna answer them.
827
00:30:02,202 --> 00:30:02,936
The officer will drive you home.
828
00:30:02,969 --> 00:30:05,405
I'll take the bus.
829
00:30:05,438 --> 00:30:06,272
What happened?
830
00:30:06,306 --> 00:30:08,441
He knows more than
he wants to know.
831
00:30:08,475 --> 00:30:10,310
Well, we went through
Meeker's checks.
832
00:30:10,343 --> 00:30:11,911
Do you really think he'd
hire someone to kill his wife
833
00:30:11,945 --> 00:30:13,213
and leave a paper trail?
834
00:30:13,246 --> 00:30:15,648
Checks or cash,
we can find them.
835
00:30:15,682 --> 00:30:17,384
This might not mean anything,
836
00:30:17,417 --> 00:30:20,420
but six weeks before
Carolyn Meeker disappeared
837
00:30:20,453 --> 00:30:22,989
$500 cash machine
withdrawals every third day
838
00:30:23,023 --> 00:30:24,124
for the entire six weeks.
839
00:30:24,157 --> 00:30:26,226
Well, they could have spent
it out of their pockets.
840
00:30:26,259 --> 00:30:28,261
Well, wouldn't she spot a check
to someone she didn't know?
841
00:30:28,294 --> 00:30:29,529
Unless they hadn't cleared.
842
00:30:29,562 --> 00:30:30,964
Or unless he found a
way of paying somebody
843
00:30:30,997 --> 00:30:32,399
without her noticing.
844
00:30:32,432 --> 00:30:34,267
{\an8}*
845
00:30:34,300 --> 00:30:35,368
HB Landscaping.
846
00:30:35,402 --> 00:30:38,672
15,000 ten days before
Carolyn Meeker disappeared,
847
00:30:38,705 --> 00:30:41,441
and over here another
10,000 the day after.
848
00:30:41,474 --> 00:30:42,942
With that yard?
849
00:30:42,976 --> 00:30:43,977
Big pool area?
850
00:30:44,010 --> 00:30:45,211
They could have spent that easy.
851
00:30:45,245 --> 00:30:46,479
Except for the timing.
852
00:30:46,513 --> 00:30:48,214
One check right
before she disappeared,
853
00:30:48,248 --> 00:30:50,016
another check right after, huh?
854
00:30:50,050 --> 00:30:51,384
HB Landscaping.
855
00:30:51,418 --> 00:30:53,453
It's not a corporation,
it's a DBA.
856
00:30:53,486 --> 00:30:55,055
Pull the business license.
857
00:30:55,088 --> 00:30:58,358
If we find out who's
behind HB Landscaping
858
00:30:58,391 --> 00:31:00,927
we find out who
killed Carolyn Meeker.
859
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,328
HB Landscaping.
860
00:31:02,362 --> 00:31:03,496
A guy named Henry Berk.
861
00:31:03,530 --> 00:31:06,533
Mr. Berk stays busy when
he's not trimming the hedges.
862
00:31:06,566 --> 00:31:08,335
Burglary, 18 months,
863
00:31:08,368 --> 00:31:10,337
armed robbery,
a deuce at Chino,
864
00:31:10,370 --> 00:31:11,538
and the good part.
865
00:31:11,571 --> 00:31:12,972
Two years ago CCW,
866
00:31:13,006 --> 00:31:14,974
...22 Browning Buckmark automatic.
867
00:31:15,008 --> 00:31:16,943
Meeker hired his gardener
to kill his wife?
868
00:31:16,976 --> 00:31:17,644
Why not?
869
00:31:17,677 --> 00:31:18,645
Berk's mowing his lawn,
870
00:31:18,678 --> 00:31:19,713
he and Meeker get to talking,
871
00:31:19,746 --> 00:31:21,014
comes out Berk's done time.
872
00:31:21,047 --> 00:31:22,282
We don't have Henry Berk's gun
873
00:31:22,315 --> 00:31:23,483
so we can't match shell casings.
874
00:31:23,516 --> 00:31:24,984
We still have a
picture of the.22.
875
00:31:25,018 --> 00:31:26,386
Yeah.
876
00:31:26,419 --> 00:31:27,287
But that's no good to us.
877
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:27,921
Sure it is.
878
00:31:27,954 --> 00:31:29,422
Pull Henry Berk's prints.
879
00:31:29,456 --> 00:31:30,390
Get me a picture of that gun,
880
00:31:30,423 --> 00:31:32,292
meet me at ballistics.
881
00:31:32,325 --> 00:31:33,626
This was a nice gun.
882
00:31:33,660 --> 00:31:36,096
Started production
in '92, I think.
883
00:31:36,129 --> 00:31:37,997
There's a new model now,
they changed the barrel.
884
00:31:38,031 --> 00:31:39,499
Can you get this exact gun?
885
00:31:39,532 --> 00:31:40,633
I told you it's been scrapped.
886
00:31:40,667 --> 00:31:41,468
All right, find one,
887
00:31:41,501 --> 00:31:43,436
age it to look
just like this one,
888
00:31:43,470 --> 00:31:46,072
and then check the scratches
on the grip and barrel,
889
00:31:46,106 --> 00:31:48,408
try to duplicate it exactly.
890
00:31:48,441 --> 00:31:50,677
I get the feeling we're about
to do something unethical.
891
00:31:50,710 --> 00:31:52,412
Unethical, no.
892
00:31:52,445 --> 00:31:54,714
Devious, maybe.
893
00:31:54,748 --> 00:31:55,749
{\an8}*
894
00:31:55,782 --> 00:31:57,083
Henry Berk?
895
00:31:57,117 --> 00:31:58,118
It's Hank.
896
00:31:58,151 --> 00:32:00,520
Only people who call me
Henry are family or cops.
897
00:32:00,553 --> 00:32:03,656
Step away from
the truck, please.
898
00:32:03,690 --> 00:32:05,058
Stop moving, Henry.
899
00:32:05,091 --> 00:32:06,526
What are you,
some kind of limey?
900
00:32:06,559 --> 00:32:07,994
Keep your hands
away from your body.
901
00:32:08,028 --> 00:32:09,529
Look here man, I'm clean.
902
00:32:09,562 --> 00:32:11,398
I made all my parole
meetings, all right?
903
00:32:11,431 --> 00:32:15,001
You're under arrest for
the murder of Carolyn Meeker.
904
00:32:15,035 --> 00:32:15,568
Radio for backup.
905
00:32:15,602 --> 00:32:24,611
{\an8}*
906
00:32:24,644 --> 00:32:27,380
Stupid mark, I got
20 years on you.
907
00:32:27,414 --> 00:32:29,549
You're under arrest for
the murder of Carolyn Meeker.
908
00:32:29,582 --> 00:32:31,451
You have the right
to remain silent,
909
00:32:31,484 --> 00:32:33,119
anything you say can and
will be used against you
910
00:32:33,153 --> 00:32:34,521
in a court of law.
911
00:32:34,554 --> 00:32:35,722
You have the right
to an attorney.
912
00:32:35,755 --> 00:32:37,457
If you cannot afford one...
913
00:32:42,562 --> 00:32:44,397
You're a three
time loser, Henry.
914
00:32:44,431 --> 00:32:47,167
I got two felonies.
915
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:48,568
You're about to get a third.
916
00:32:48,601 --> 00:32:53,440
Says you.
917
00:32:53,473 --> 00:32:55,575
25,000, that's pathetic.
918
00:32:55,608 --> 00:32:58,144
Killing a woman you
should have asked for more.
919
00:32:58,178 --> 00:32:59,646
I remember I used to work
for those Meeker people,
920
00:32:59,679 --> 00:33:01,281
a long time ago.
921
00:33:01,314 --> 00:33:03,116
Put in some trees and bushes.
922
00:33:03,149 --> 00:33:04,584
And a bullet in
Carolyn Meeker's skull.
923
00:33:10,156 --> 00:33:11,424
Look familiar?
924
00:33:11,458 --> 00:33:13,493
You carried without a permit.
925
00:33:13,526 --> 00:33:16,296
Cops took it away from you.
926
00:33:16,329 --> 00:33:19,332
Shell casing from a bullet
they fired this morning.
927
00:33:19,366 --> 00:33:21,334
This one's from
Carolyn Meeker's car.
928
00:33:29,109 --> 00:33:31,444
You see those firing
pin marks, Henry?
929
00:33:31,478 --> 00:33:34,180
They're identical.
930
00:33:34,214 --> 00:33:36,349
Now this is how this goes.
931
00:33:36,383 --> 00:33:37,450
You're gonna enter a
plea to a straight first,
932
00:33:37,484 --> 00:33:39,486
tell us everything or
take your chances at trial,
933
00:33:39,519 --> 00:33:41,254
but that's risky.
934
00:33:41,287 --> 00:33:44,491
Because you can wind up
with a needle in your arm.
935
00:33:44,524 --> 00:33:48,094
Now this offer is good
936
00:33:48,128 --> 00:33:49,429
for ten seconds.
937
00:33:49,462 --> 00:33:56,169
{\an8}*
938
00:33:56,202 --> 00:33:59,105
Five.
939
00:33:59,139 --> 00:34:00,707
{\an8}*
940
00:34:00,740 --> 00:34:03,610
I-, I never
popped anybody before.
941
00:34:03,643 --> 00:34:05,445
I mean, he even
told me where to,
942
00:34:05,478 --> 00:34:09,182
where to push the car
so they'd never find her.
943
00:34:09,215 --> 00:34:11,618
He wanted to know if
I really did it,
944
00:34:14,654 --> 00:34:16,690
she showed me a
picture of her kid.
945
00:34:16,723 --> 00:34:20,393
{\an8}*
946
00:34:20,427 --> 00:34:25,365
She begged me, man.
947
00:34:25,398 --> 00:34:28,301
Said he didn't
wanna hear about it.
948
00:34:28,335 --> 00:34:39,179
{\an8}*
949
00:34:39,212 --> 00:34:40,180
Beautifully done.
950
00:34:40,213 --> 00:34:40,647
Thank you.
951
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,215
He's nailed.
952
00:34:42,248 --> 00:34:43,016
Do the speech.
953
00:34:43,049 --> 00:34:44,084
Ladies and
gentlemen of the jury,
954
00:34:44,117 --> 00:34:46,619
the sole witness in this
case is a convicted felon
955
00:34:46,653 --> 00:34:49,756
who avoided the death
penalty by entering a plea.
956
00:34:49,789 --> 00:34:51,524
Do you believe him,
957
00:34:51,558 --> 00:34:55,328
or do you believe the upstanding
citizen Christopher Meeker?
958
00:34:55,362 --> 00:34:56,663
Will the DA offer him a deal?
959
00:34:56,696 --> 00:35:00,367
They said no, we
need a confession.
960
00:35:01,701 --> 00:35:04,404
An arrest would give
us the last chance.
961
00:35:04,437 --> 00:35:05,739
You surprise a man,
962
00:35:05,772 --> 00:35:07,240
you arrest him,
963
00:35:07,273 --> 00:35:08,508
take him away in handcuffs,
964
00:35:08,541 --> 00:35:10,243
he's nervous, disoriented.
965
00:35:10,276 --> 00:35:11,544
Tense.
966
00:35:11,578 --> 00:35:14,314
Yes, we would tell
Christopher Meeker his rights,
967
00:35:14,347 --> 00:35:16,549
but somehow I felt he
wouldn't call a lawyer.
968
00:35:16,583 --> 00:35:18,718
It would make him look guilty.
969
00:35:18,752 --> 00:35:20,387
He had hired a man
to kill his wife,
970
00:35:20,420 --> 00:35:23,423
but he would make every
pretense of innocence.
971
00:35:23,456 --> 00:35:26,326
And while he did I had
a window of opportunity.
972
00:35:26,359 --> 00:35:30,563
Time to push him
before he could think.
973
00:35:30,597 --> 00:35:32,298
I didn't kill my wife.
974
00:35:32,332 --> 00:35:34,634
You were out of town.
975
00:35:34,668 --> 00:35:37,504
You paid a man named Henry
Berk to kill your wife.
976
00:35:39,806 --> 00:35:43,209
I loved my wife.
977
00:35:43,243 --> 00:35:47,514
Did you love your son?
978
00:35:47,547 --> 00:35:49,816
You took his mother away.
979
00:35:49,849 --> 00:35:52,652
That's who he is.
980
00:35:52,686 --> 00:35:56,389
He's trying to recover from
the worst loss he'll ever know.
981
00:35:56,423 --> 00:36:00,260
Zack's doing just fine.
982
00:36:00,293 --> 00:36:01,795
When I first met you I wondered.
983
00:36:01,828 --> 00:36:05,231
Successful guy, has it all.
984
00:36:05,265 --> 00:36:08,568
How come he never remarried?
985
00:36:08,601 --> 00:36:11,604
Now I think I understand.
986
00:36:11,638 --> 00:36:14,374
You never did get over it.
987
00:36:14,407 --> 00:36:17,744
You never came to terms
with killing your wife.
988
00:36:17,777 --> 00:36:21,414
{\an8}*
989
00:36:21,448 --> 00:36:23,717
You don't know who I am.
990
00:36:23,750 --> 00:36:28,455
You couldn't visit your own
father when he was dying.
991
00:36:28,488 --> 00:36:31,524
Must have been hard for you.
992
00:36:31,558 --> 00:36:35,695
Remembering when there
was no food on the table.
993
00:36:35,729 --> 00:36:37,497
Kids at school had new clothes,
994
00:36:37,530 --> 00:36:40,500
you didn't have any.
995
00:36:40,533 --> 00:36:43,570
{\an8}*
996
00:36:43,603 --> 00:36:44,671
Where'd you grow up?
997
00:36:44,704 --> 00:36:48,775
{\an8}*
998
00:36:48,808 --> 00:36:51,778
Nice little tract
house in the Valley.
999
00:36:51,811 --> 00:36:54,914
Fake cedar shingles on the roof.
1000
00:36:54,948 --> 00:36:58,385
Your dad was a cop.
1001
00:36:58,418 --> 00:37:00,320
Your mom taught high school.
1002
00:37:00,353 --> 00:37:01,688
She was the principal.
1003
00:37:01,721 --> 00:37:03,390
Close enough.
1004
00:37:03,423 --> 00:37:06,760
No one ever said
you weren't smart.
1005
00:37:06,793 --> 00:37:08,795
I can almost be there with you.
1006
00:37:08,828 --> 00:37:10,663
Your nice house,
1007
00:37:10,697 --> 00:37:13,733
standing by your pool.
1008
00:37:13,767 --> 00:37:16,803
Thinking how hard you
worked to get this far.
1009
00:37:16,836 --> 00:37:18,672
Now you're gonna lose it all
1010
00:37:18,705 --> 00:37:23,309
and all you could see was the
dirt yard of a trailer park.
1011
00:37:23,343 --> 00:37:26,413
Your son was 16 years old.
1012
00:37:26,446 --> 00:37:27,814
I protected my son.
1013
00:37:27,847 --> 00:37:31,651
You killed your
own unborn child.
1014
00:37:33,653 --> 00:37:37,957
Now if you knew about that,
if she told you about the baby,
1015
00:37:37,991 --> 00:37:40,827
would she still be alive?
1016
00:37:40,860 --> 00:37:44,497
{\an8}*
1017
00:37:44,531 --> 00:37:47,934
She...
1018
00:37:47,967 --> 00:37:51,771
She said she had to do it.
1019
00:37:51,805 --> 00:37:53,606
Why?
1020
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,642
Why?
1021
00:37:55,675 --> 00:37:56,710
It wouldn't change anything,
1022
00:37:56,743 --> 00:37:59,846
you can't change the world.
1023
00:37:59,879 --> 00:38:01,715
It would destroy us.
1024
00:38:01,748 --> 00:38:04,517
And for what?
1025
00:38:04,551 --> 00:38:07,420
ConSec would go on doing
what they always did.
1026
00:38:07,454 --> 00:38:08,955
They'd be on the
front pages for a day
1027
00:38:08,988 --> 00:38:10,623
and they'd go back
to their lives
1028
00:38:10,657 --> 00:38:14,961
and they'd still have
everything they had.
1029
00:38:14,994 --> 00:38:18,598
We would have nothing.
1030
00:38:18,631 --> 00:38:27,841
{\an8}*
1031
00:38:27,874 --> 00:38:31,478
There was no way out.
1032
00:38:31,511 --> 00:38:32,812
I couldn't let her do it.
1033
00:38:32,846 --> 00:38:37,450
{\an8}*
1034
00:38:37,484 --> 00:38:39,786
I didn't have a choice.
1035
00:38:39,819 --> 00:38:44,824
{\an8}*
1036
00:38:44,858 --> 00:38:46,493
You arrested my dad?
1037
00:38:46,526 --> 00:38:48,395
Sit down, Zack.
1038
00:38:51,798 --> 00:38:52,732
I'm so sorry.
1039
00:38:52,766 --> 00:38:55,902
Where is he?
1040
00:38:55,935 --> 00:38:58,571
You can't see him right now.
1041
00:38:58,605 --> 00:38:59,439
How could he have done it,
1042
00:38:59,472 --> 00:39:02,575
he wasn't even here.
1043
00:39:02,609 --> 00:39:06,613
We're charging him with paying
someone else to have it done.
1044
00:39:11,685 --> 00:39:13,920
You knew, didn't you?
1045
00:39:13,953 --> 00:39:15,689
Knew what, Zack?
1046
00:39:20,493 --> 00:39:23,830
When you asked
about my mom and dad.
1047
00:39:23,863 --> 00:39:25,432
About the last day.
1048
00:39:29,069 --> 00:39:32,539
It's funny, I...
1049
00:39:32,572 --> 00:39:36,576
I always wondered.
1050
00:39:36,609 --> 00:39:40,814
I couldn't ever
really explain it.
1051
00:39:40,847 --> 00:39:45,518
I can't tell now, but...
1052
00:39:45,552 --> 00:39:48,455
I think I always knew.
1053
00:39:48,488 --> 00:39:52,492
Sometimes we know things.
1054
00:39:52,525 --> 00:39:55,495
We can't do anything about
it, so we put it away.
1055
00:39:55,528 --> 00:39:57,764
So we don't have to know.
1056
00:40:00,700 --> 00:40:02,535
Detective Beltram will
take you down to County Jail
1057
00:40:02,569 --> 00:40:06,706
and you can see him
when he's rebooked.
1058
00:40:06,740 --> 00:40:09,009
Come on, Zack.
1059
00:40:09,042 --> 00:40:14,514
{\an8}*
1060
00:40:14,547 --> 00:40:16,583
What else could I say to him?
1061
00:40:16,616 --> 00:40:19,853
He would be looking for
peace the rest of his life.
1062
00:40:19,886 --> 00:40:21,721
We try to leave the past behind,
1063
00:40:21,755 --> 00:40:25,058
sometimes we have
to just to survive.
1064
00:40:25,091 --> 00:40:27,527
But the past is never past.
1065
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,530
It's there with us all the time.
1066
00:40:30,563 --> 00:40:31,865
We can try to rewrite it,
1067
00:40:31,898 --> 00:40:33,867
it doesn't work.
1068
00:40:33,900 --> 00:40:36,870
Either we learn to deal
with the past or we don't.
1069
00:40:36,903 --> 00:40:39,839
