All language subtitles for LA Dragnet s02e05 Slice of Life.eng

The story you are about to see was
inspired by actual events.

The names have been changed to protect
the innocent.

Monday. It was warm in Los Angeles.

Detective Duran and I were working the
day shift out of Robbery Homicide.

The call came in from the Harbor
Division at 7 .40 a .m.

Commercial fishermen out trolling for
yellowtail hauled up a female body

instead.

The port of Los Angeles was the busiest
port in the U .S.

Almost three million containers of cargo
from every corner of the world are

offloaded each year.

Just about any man -made product you can
think of comes through it at one time

or another.

Homicides are no exception.

My name's Friday.

I'm a cop.

That who found the body?

Saw a bunch of Makos feeding on the
surface. Brought the boat over to see

the frenzy was about. Check with the
Coast Guard yet? No one's been reported

lost at sea in the last two weeks. Maybe
she was a swimmer. Coast Guard doesn't

think a riptide would have carried out
that far. He checked the GPS when they

hauled her on board.

About two miles offshore.

Maybe she got dumped.

What's the body over here?

Around the crane next to the boat. CI's
working on her. What's left of her.

We call a corpse found in water a
floater.

In a case like this, there's no crime
scene to work. No witnesses to talk to.

Identification is difficult, sometimes
impossible.

You catch a floater, you got your work
cut out for you. One female torso, heavy

decomp.

Looks like the shark took off the legs,
arm, and head. What do you think?

Does this qualify as catch of the day?

Are we going to be able to get a print
off the fingers?

I think so.

May as there are any left.

Shark bite patterns all over the torso.

Looks like a diagonal ligature mark
around the midsection. What do you

Weighted down. Could have pulled free if
she decomped.

How long do you think she was in the
water?

Hard to tell. Cold water slows down the
decom.

Best guess.

Outer layers of the skin have separated
from the body.

Skin on the remaining hand still looks
somewhat intact.

Least a week, maybe two.

All right, Steve, taking this one?

Could have originated anywhere along the
coast. Probably hit multiple

jurisdictions.

Help me lift her onto the sheet.

The shark bite, what is that, fishing
line caught in there?

I don't know.

It's like sutures.

That's not a shark bite.

That's a sea fish.

Well, I'm ruling it a homicide by
unknown cause. Other than the bite marks

the cesarean, I don't see any obvious
injury.

Well, she didn't drown.

No edema, no congestion of mucus foam in
the lungs.

We have approximate time of death?

Not with a floater like this.

She probably hit the water two weeks
ago, give or take a week.

Well, that narrows it down.

So all we know, we got a Jane Doe of
childbearing age, say, 16 to 45.

Sorry, she was in the water too long.

Is there a chance she died from the C
-section?

I doubt from the operation itself. There
was blood clotting and some scar tissue

in the uterus means the incision was
starting to heal.

She lived after the birth?

Maybe a few days.

The surgery, what kind of work?

Competence. You don't get surgical
thread like that from your local

I'll put a rush on the DNA and try to
pull some residual placental tissue from

the uterus. Get a positive ID on the
baby.

How long before we get the prints?

We already took the skin from the
fingers.

I'll let you know in a couple of hours.

And if we're like issues in the system.

Victim's name's Kathleen Anderson. She's
24 years old. Why was she in APHIS? She

was arrested five years ago for check
fraud in Manassas, Virginia.

First offense led to misdemeanor. Good
start.

NCIC matched her name to a missing
person's report filed in Manassas last

at the time. Kathleen was eight months
pregnant.

Where are we on the search for the baby?

Nowhere. We've checked area hospitals
and birth records, C -sections, and even

abandoned babies.

Nothing on Kathleen Anderson either.
Widen the search.

Get Ventura and Orange County upset
about this. Most likely the baby got

with Kathleen, so we'll never recover
the body. Well, there's just as good a

chance whoever killed her took the baby.

Maybe even a custody dispute.

Maybe the father's got the kid.

This is what Manassas PD was looking at.
Kathleen had a pretty contentious

relationship with her boyfriend.

Guy beat her up a couple of times.

Precious of fatherhood, a new baby.
Could have easily lashed out.

Where's the rest? That's all they got.

I've been trying to follow up, but the
local cops aren't much help over the

phone.

Pack a bag.

You and Jimmy are going to Virginia.

What time we get in?

6 a .m.

Gonna be dragging ass tomorrow.

We ran our name by the airlines, right?

Seven different Kathleen Andersons flew
in L .A. in the last month and a half.

All accounted for.

So you think she drove?

What if she did?

A journey to L .A. is four days at
least.

Not the kind of trip you take when
you're a month away from having a baby.

Kathleen ran off without telling anyone.

She'd been fighting with her folks.

Her mother filed the report out of
concern for the baby.

The girl's eight months pregnant and
disappeared. Is that something special?

Detective Barsack made a thorough
inquiry.

Read the report.

She didn't say she was leaving because
she didn't want to be found.

Your report states a possible B &E.

Well, the lock on the back door was
busted, but the mother couldn't say when

had happened.

Nothing was taken, except maybe
Kathleen.

We don't see her disappearance or her
murder as being connected. They happen

run apart, different sides of the
country.

How about the boyfriend?

Didn't pan out either.

Doug Hess.

Five assaults on record, two arrests for
domestic disturbance, threats made

against Kathleen.

We need to talk to this guy.

We don't know his current whereabouts.

How hard are you looking?

Hess had a key to the house.

Why would he bust the lock to get
inside?

He was at his brother's when she took
off. The brother backed it up.

If Hess is gone, he's in violation of
his parole, correct?

We have a warrant for his arrest. I'll
put you in touch with his P .O.

We don't have a lot of time, so we
should get started with our interviews.

Miss.

It's Detective Duran.

Detective. I was just going to say, if
there's anything else you need.

Direction. To Kathleen's house.

Kathleen loves California.

It's glamorous, I guess.

She said you could see the Hollywood
signs from her apartment.

I didn't know Kathleen lived in L .A.

Moved out there four years ago.

She didn't like being home much.

But she eventually came home.

In July.

Six months pregnant.

Doug had gone out to visit her over New
Year's, and what do you know?

She said it was his baby, and she's
keeping him.

Doug has.

Are you really sure it's her?

We made the ID off her fingerprints.

She was having a boy.

Eight days ago was her due date.

Did you?

We still don't know what happened to the
baby.

We always argue that's why she moved.

Do you think she left on her own last
month or with Doug Hess?

I don't know.

She took some clothes.

Probably went with Doug.

Their relationship was always up and
down.

It sounds strange to say now, but Doug
loved her.

Do you think he could have hurt
Kathleen?

That's what love does.

I haven't seen my brother in a month.

He skips on his parole. That's his
problem.

Think he's with Kathleen?

Wherever she goes, he usually follows.

Doug's wrapped around her little finger.
He didn't like her.

She only got him into trouble.

I think he did okay on his own.

Five assaults on his sheet, 18 months in
jail.

Brother's got a time code.

You know what he was always fighting
over?

It was always Kathleen.

Look, I already got two kids. I don't
need a third.

So if you beat her up, just throw his
ass in the jail. We'll do him some good.

We're investigating Kathleen's murder.

We need to speak to Doug.

I tried getting him straight.

I even got him a job here doing Bondo.

Throws it in my face and takes off.

Do you know where he is?

Los Angeles. He said he was staying in
some motel.

Name? I don't know. The Rose something.

Well, next time you speak to him, tell
him we're looking for him.

It's better if he turns himself in.

Hey, just in case you catch up with him
first, just so you know, he's got my

gun.

Hey. How was your trip?

Called Friday before I got on the plane.
Had to stay in at a motel. How were you

found? Well, I'm impressed.

Nothing but a little detective work.

He's staying at the Purple Rose Motel in
Lincoln Heights.

SIS is watching him. He's in his room
right now.

Virginia, fax the warrant abstract.

I want you to grab Hess for the parole
violation.

Told you he might be armed, right?

SIS will assist him. He's going down
now?

Right now.

Manager says Hess checked in a couple of
weeks ago alone.

I couldn't identify Kathleen from the
photo.

Anything Hess with a baby?

Saw him taking a carrier into the room.

He just told me he has the kids.

He's in room 17.

We also got people in room 16 and 18.

Let's call them from the manager's
office and get them ready.

We'll clear the collateral first.

I didn't do anything, man!

I didn't do anything!

I love Kathleen.

Well, love makes you do stupid things.
Yeah, well, I didn't do anything.

Come on, you like to smack her around,
right?

Kathleen says she's having a baby. She
disappears and turns up dead in L .A.

Then we find you, also in L .A., with a
.357 and a baby cradle. You know what we

think? We think it's a double homicide.

What do you mean, double?

Did I say my kids did? You tell us.

Kids, man.

Scariest time of my life was when the
first one was on the way.

I felt trapped.

Didn't know if I could make it work.

The wife and I were fighting.

Pregnant girls are crazy.

Makes you crazy. I said I didn't do
anything!

Kathleen make you mad like that? Screw
you.

We can hang all night.

I get paid to be here. She got pissed
off because I broke her mom's

I figured she came out to L .A.

That's why I have the carriage. She's
having my baby. I came to get him back.

What happened when you found her? I
never did find her. You were looking

somewhere. Well, she said she'd hung out
with some rich guy named Leon or

something.

I asked around. Nobody had ever heard of
him.

I had no other choice.

That's why I'm here. I came to bring my
kid back.

Waste of time. We got no TOD, no way to
check an alibi.

He's not copping to the murder. Let him
stew. We got him on that parole jump.

He's not going anywhere.

I checked out Kathleen's old apartment.
Her manager said she always paid on time

and didn't leave much of an impression
on her neighbors.

Anything from the motel room? No prints.

Ballistics said that gun hasn't been
fired in a long time.

Had no leads off your interview? He
mentioned a name, Leon.

That's about it. You talked to him about
the baby?

He said he doesn't know.

I believe him.

Kathleen's body was dumped miles out to
sea. No way that idiot got his hands on

a boat. Doesn't play for me. I gotta
agree.

The photo's from the mother.

There's a picture of Kathleen on a
yacht. She knew somebody who could have

dumped her body. Okay, run with that for
now.

See if SID can enhance that photo.

Give us a place to start looking.

There's not much in the background that
tells you exactly where this is, but

keep your eye on the window of the boat
behind her.

A registration number.

Part of one. I pulled up a list of boats
registered to DMV with this number.

There's about 130 of them.

There's got to be a way to narrow down
the list.

Tell me what you know.

All right.

It's not a sailboat.

Not bad. Can you lose a boat that's not
docked in L .A. or Long Beach?

All right. And the one in the photo
looks to me like it's on the larger

I'll drop any vessel shorter than 20
feet.

What's the name on this one?

Alice Tate. She owns a 42 -footer called
the Panacea.

Panacea.

Means a cure for all ills.

Whatever.

This is for a murder investigation?

Do you know a woman named Kathleen
Anderson?

No, no, I've never seen her. Alice, come
on, get off the phone. We're going to

be late.

It's the police, Leon. Asking about your
boat.

What's going on?

I'd like to know.

Kathleen Anderson, do you know her?

Leon. Was she on the boat?

Hell, I don't know. I've never seen her
before in my life.

Maybe someone else took your boat out.

Well, some buddies and I, we go rafting
up at Catalina, raft up with other

boats.

People hop around. It's a bit of a
party.

Maybe she was there. I don't know. I
think you might remember the name of the

other boats.

Not really.

It's a different group every time.

Look, we're late for a thing. Is that
it?

Thanks for your time.

Yeah, he and his wife bought that boat
two years ago.

The way I hear it, it's the first time
outside the breakwater. Alice has half a

glass of wine, blows lunch over the
rail, and never sets foot on it again.

But he likes it, with all those trips
out to Catalina.

Knows his ass from his stern.

Did he go out on his boat lately?

Last time I saw him was two weeks ago,
washing down the deck.

I don't know if he went out, though.

When he did, did he usually go along?

Oh, he is lonely out at sea, without the
wife around.

Leon always introduced them as real
estate clients.

All women.

Look, it was obviously no secret.

Around here, what a man does in his boat
is his own business. Know what I mean?

Was this one of his clients?

Oh, yeah.

She knocked quite a bit.

Kathleen. That's right.

Last time I saw her was about six months
ago.

She and Leon sailed to Catalina
together. Next day, she came back on

boat. So the relationship ended.

I never saw her again.

To be honest, Leon probably dodged a
bullet.

How's that?

Kathleen. You know the type.

Snags a rich guy, never lets go.

What's the guy's story?

My father -in -law owns Boland Real
Estate.

I've heard of it.

Boland put his son -in -law on the
payroll and Tate dazzled him. And now

obviously trying to take over. But if
the wife found out about the affair...

the illegitimate child... There's no way
the old man's gonna side with him in

the divorce.

Means and motive.

He wasn't lying for his wife's sake.

He's covering up a murder.

Or two.

At this point, we have any real reason
to believe the baby's still alive.

We don't know.

We gotta keep looking.

Warrant the boat.

We're almost done.

Bagged a bunch of different hairs, not
much else.

Lumen all the deck and interior.

Lifted the carpet.

Not a molecule of blood.

What about the rest of it? No obvious
signs of struggle. Nothing's out of

No smoking gun.

Finish up. Come on back.

Tate's lawyer is all over your search on
the boat.

Don't be pissed.

Maybe something will flush out. You can
push to a point. When he starts calling

an harassment, you better make sure our
PC's strong. This guy must have some

friends. It's rolling from the top down.
Don't bust my balls, Joe.

We know our victim was sleeping with
Tate.

She's three months along carrying this
kid he tells her to take a hike.

She moves back east, she tells her ex
-boyfriend the kid it is.

So it's pickup trucks instead of
sailboats, and she's not happy.

I'm thinking she runs back to L .A. a
couple of months later, confronts Tate

about the baby, probably gives him an
ultimatum. How much of the story can you

prove? Not enough yet.

I want to talk to the guy.

An interrogation room's the last place
you'll ever see him. I want to call his

attorney, invite Tate down here, tell
him we want to...

Clear up the misunderstanding.

My client is here to help. That's all.

Your lieutenant assured me he's not a
suspect. The questions will reflect

or I will end the interview.

At your house.

You said you'd never seen Kathleen
Anderson.

Listen, I love my wife.

I regret the affair.

That's why I broke it off six months
ago. And for the record, I never spoke

Kathleen again.

How'd she take the breakup?

Not well.

But she didn't have a choice.

What about the baby?

She told you it was yours, right?

Okay, look, we'll take a break here, I
think, for a second.

That's okay, Mark.

Yeah, Kathleen told me she was pregnant.

What did she want?

Money. How much?

50 grand.

She blackmailed you?

That surprises you. I obviously didn't
know Kathleen.

She wasn't screwing me for love.

Who you paid her off.

I gave her ten grand, told her to get an
abortion and go away.

Never heard from her again.

She gave up that easy. Don't attach
motive to my client.

Maybe I did have a motive.

So what?

I didn't kill Kathleen.

Even when she threatened to tell your
wife? All right, interview's over.

You would have lost your meal ticket.

Yeah, I got nothing to hide.

Then tell her.

You were out in the middle of the ocean,
nobody around for miles, she was

crying.

Maybe I thought about it.

And?

And that's it.

Let's go.

That guy's cocky. He knows we don't have
anything.

What I just heard sounded like a
confession. Joe, I got the lab work

need to take a look.

What? DNA results on Kathleen Anderson.

I pulled some tissue from the uterus to
get a positive ID on the baby.

There's no genetic link.

Kathleen and her baby are not related.

How's that possible?

carrying someone else's child.

Kathleen was a surrogate mother.

Tate doesn't know about the surrogacy.

He thought the baby was his at the time.

Between Tate and the boyfriend, it seems
a lot of guys think she was having

their kid.

So maybe she decided to keep the baby.
It seemed a mother needed a father.

She's after the money. What did we see
with her bank account? Three different

checking accounts with three different
banks, all inactive and empty. I don't

see her stuff in her mattress. Keep
looking.

About a dozen fertility clinics in L .A.
offer some sort of surrogacy service.

Any hits with our victim?

Medical records are sealed. They won't
even say if she was a patient. Then make

the rounds.

That's the best shot we have of finding
this kid.

Kathleen used to be registered with us
as a surrogate mother.

Used to be.

The pregnancy was unsuccessful. She
dropped out of the program.

Her last visit was over a year ago.

We know she became a surrogate for
somebody.

Not through our clinic.

We'd like to talk to the couple she
first contracted with.

Absolutely not.

Even off the record?

I'm sorry, but there are larger issues
here.

There's an enormous amount of trust
placed in our service. I can't violate

confidentiality. Maybe you could call
and ask them. No. Ms. Santos, do you

understand the potential for bad
publicity with a case like this?

It's something we'd all like to avoid.

Is that a threat?

It's a fact.

If she passed your psych evaluation to
become a candidate, your clinic wouldn't

look too good.

Kathleen wasn't the kind of person I
think you want to be protecting.

We appreciate you coming in.

When the clinic called and told us about
Kathleen, I insisted we talk to you.

We were matched with Kathleen about a
year and a half ago.

She had a good medical history. She
seemed emotionally stable.

See?

Her video interview was great.

We hit it off right away, like we were
sisters.

How much did you pay Kathleen to become
the surrogate? $25 ,000 for the service.

Then a week after we signed the
contract, Kathleen called us in tears

us that she was about to be evicted.

$4 ,000.

And that wasn't it?

She took us for about another $10 ,000
before it was all over.

You sound a little resentful.

It was the right thing to do.

We helped someone we cared about.

Kathleen miscarried in the tenth week.

You didn't try again?

She said the emotional toll of the
miscarriage was hard on her.

It was hard on all of us.

We are not wealthy people.

Kathleen took advantage.

If a couple can't have a baby...

I don't know. I think it's sad.

If I can help, you know, that's just the
kind of person I am.

I understand how it is to want what you
can't have, to want it so bad.

That's why choosing a surrogate must be
so hard.

The parents have to totally trust the
person.

I mean, they're sharing a part of their
deepest hope.

Slick.

Stephanie said all the right things.

Why didn't she carry the first pregnancy
to Tom?

Well, Tanner's admitted Kathleen
stretched him financially.

I wouldn't be surprised if she aborted
that baby.

But well ran dry, she cut bait and moved
on. Then did it again with someone

else. Found a savings account for
Kathleen under the name K .H. Anderson.

year, there were a total of 11 payments
made to her from an escrow account.

How much?

Almost $75 ,000.

Let's call that a living.

Who paid?

A trustee on the account named Alan R.
Sperry. He's a lawyer up in Glendale.

Well, agencies use unfair and arbitrary
standards.

Folks get rejected and they come here.

Surrogate mothers love me. I get them
more money.

Ran a womb.

I don't know. Sounds like baby selling
to me.

It's a lucrative line of law. There's
nothing wrong with that.

Name of the parents?

Carl and Amy Savitsky.

He's a doctor.

She's a head case. Real emotional.

Contract's in dispute.

What kind of dispute?

Well, the surrogate mother, Kathleen
Anderson, took off six months into the

pregnancy. Moved to Virginia and said
she was keeping the baby.

So what'd you do?

Oh, nothing.

You let Kathleen steal that kid?

Hey, Virginia law doesn't recognize
surrogacy contracts.

I mean, they don't care if the birth
mother and the kid are even related.

Deal was off.

So if she had the baby in Virginia,
legally, the baby's hers.

And there's nothing the parents could
do.

So, Kathleen skips down with Savitsky's
baby after they've already paid her $75

,000. She was making banking store in
these people. And if they tried to cut

the money? Going to Virginia gives her
serious leverage.

And Savitsky's probably lost their
minds.

And enough to kill her?

Well, if it was one of my kids.

Right. Call Friday.

Lieutenant Joe Friday, LAPD. Are you Dr.
Carl Stavitsky?

She's dead?

When's the last time you saw Kathleen?

About four months ago at the OBGYN.

Right after the appointment, she called
our lawyer, said she wasn't giving us

our child.

You contacted the police?

Police, FBI.

They said it was a civil issue. The
civil court said it was a criminal

Our lawyer said that legally our hands
are tied.

You fear this could happen using a
surrogate. You just... You don't think?

Where's your wife?

She's visiting relatives out of town.

You can mimic the emotion, the attitude,
but sometimes it's what you don't say

that gives you away.

Zavitsky forgot to ask about the fate of
his child.

It told me one thing.

They already had the baby.

You're a doctor.

Dermatologist.

Ever deliver a baby?

A straightforward question for a doctor,
but he reacted like a criminal.

I assisted when I was a resident.

Do you mind if we look around the house?

Actually, it's not a good time right
now, but if we could do it later, maybe.

Dr. Stavitsky, you and your wife are our
suspects in this investigation now if

you're refusing to cooperate.

I think I should call my lawyer.

How'd the canvas go?

Well, a neighbor thought she heard some
screams in the middle of the night a

couple weeks ago. A woman across the
street said she saw that Stavitsky's

baby.

There's a nursery down the hall. Hasn't
been used. Done a bunch of medical

equipment in the garage. A couple IV
stands, cautery, clamps.

All clean.

Check that coop upstairs.

Find any blood?

Nothing. We checked the entire room.

SID even pulled all the drain traps from
the bathroom.

But shutters are nailed shut.

They're both on the door. Locks from the
outside.

You could have held Kathleen in here.

ditched the mattress because the blood
scrubbed things down.

Birth happened in this room.

Your wife has the baby. Where is she?
Don't say anything.

Arrest him.

You're not taking my son.

I'll hold that for my client.

Cell phone's evidence.

You have no grounds for that, detective.

Made a local call nine times in a row.
Trace it.

Step out of the car. Step out of the
car. Open the door or we'll force entry.

Please, you can't take him. It's going
to be all right. Just open the car.

It's going to be okay. Just step out of
the car.

Found an 18 -foot fishing boat. Dr.
Marina Del Rey registered to aid Dr.

Savitsky. Gotta be how he dumped the
body.

That's that D's been working on it all
morning. They say it's clean.

Found gas receipts to put Savitsky in
Virginia at the time Kathleen

So he grabs her in Virginia, drives her
back to L .A., and holds her till she's

ready to have the baby. So where's all
the evidence that proves murder?

Everything we've got is circumstantial.
With passion kills, people make

mistakes. This was thought out, planned.

Do you really see Savitsky as a cold
-blooded killer? I see everyone as a

killer.

Potentially. So what's our next move?

Gotta be something he missed.

Tear the house up.

We pulled up the carpets, paddings, and
floorboards in that bedroom.

They covered the entire house, too.
What'd I tell you? The Savitskys planned

carefully. No evidence at all.

Unless you want to spend an entire
decade searching the dump for a bag of

gauze.

There's nothing on it, Joe.

We know that they don't.

Dr. Savitsky's already going to lose his
medical license and his practice.

As he should.

My clients are willing to plead to
involuntary manslaughter.

Cleaned up real well, but you missed a
spot.

That's enough evidence of a first
-degree murder conviction.

We also found your boat, Doctor.

Imagine that's how you dumped the body.

Whatever evidence you have only proves
my client's innocence.

Where does kidnapping fit in?

Kathleen was the kidnapper.

She stole our baby and then threatened
us. Kathleen was never held against her

will. Dr. Savitsky brought her back to L
.A. to deliver the child as per the

contract. She returned willingly.

They locked her in a bedroom.

Item 8 stipulates the birth was to occur
at a place of the intended parent's

choosing. They chose home birth at their
own residence.

This contract wouldn't hold up in TV
court, not after what's happened.

agreed to it. Did she agree to a
forcible C -section?

I had to do the surgery.

They both would have died.

Kathleen's life.

had to be risked. And there was no
malice in that decision.

Look, I get one parent on the jury, my
clients walk.

Dr. Savitsky tried to save the life of
his own child.

It's kidnapping and murder. We'll see
you at the trial.

Here's a phone call Kathleen made from
Virginia.

You'll want to listen to it.

Kathleen, listen to me. We want our
child. And I told you what I want. We're

not... giving you any more money? Well,
you've paid half. Do you want half a

baby? Why are you doing this? This isn't
easy for me either, Carl. Sometimes I'd

rather be dead than be pregnant another
day. Is that what you want? You want me

to kill myself?

Damn.

Gives you murder.

Gives you sympathy.

Crops do, ain't it? Hey, if I was
Savitsky... You'd commit murder?

We're all capable.

Just a matter of getting the right
button pushed.

You own kids one hell of a button.

Well, whether or not the threat was
real, she was terrorizing them. You're

to meet their officer?

We have no evidence, and they're going
to find that out real fast.

They aren't calling out Bluff yet.

Zavitsky says he tried to save
Kathleen's life.

Let's find out if he really did.

The umbilical was prolapsed. It was
knotted up pretty bad.

He went bradycardic in the birth canal.

And that's when you elected to perform
the cesarean?

I had blood and a bunch of things I
borrowed from the hospital.

Give her two 18 -gauge IVs, LR solution,
wash her stomach with betadine.

Anesthesia? 100 mg of Demerol through
the IV.

A local on her abdomen, 1 % lidocaine
with epinephrine, 1 to 1 ,000 dilution.

She wasn't feeling any pain.

Take me through the surgery.

I cut a 15 -centimeter incision. I
injected more local along the way to

bleeding. Was she bleeding badly?

Not really, no.

I sealed off the incision with a
cautery.

Cut into the uterus, extracted the baby,
clamped and transected the cord.

How did he look?

Beautiful.

Apgar was about a seven.

He was a little blue, but he pinked up
fast.

His mom took him away and cleaned him
up. And then?

I pulled out the placenta, packed the
uterus with gauze until I had adequate

hemostasis, removed that, irrigated with
saline, checked it again, and it looked

good, so... I closed.

She was doing fine.

She hemorrhaged 48 hours later.

It was the middle of the night.

Why are we pushing so hard to get these
people?

Do I need to answer that?

I mean, this doctor's a nice guy. If you
forget, he killed a woman.

Put him and his wife away.

You might as well put the kid in prison,
too.

From what I can still see here, he did
exactly what he said. Then why did he

die? There's always a chance of
hemorrhaging. That could have happened

a hospital.

You believe him? The autopsy doesn't
show any other COD.

If she'd gotten septic because he left
some gauze behind, I would have seen a

high white cell count.

Do you have any proof Savitsky isn't
telling the truth?

I honestly can't tell you whether she
hemorrhaged or not. The decomp's too

advanced. So it's his word against a
dead woman's. Yep.

Had a feeling you'd reconsider?

Voluntary manslaughter. They both do 10
to 20.

You heard that tape. My clients are the
true victims here.

They had other options.

Tell it to a jury, Lieutenant.

I'll go to prison.

Just hold on a minute. I'll go.

But only if Amy doesn't have to.

I want my wife to raise our son, not
some foster home.

You can have me.

Honor his terms. Dr. Savitsky does three
years.

I can't do that.

Yes, you can.

Involuntary manslaughter, five to ten.

Amy gets probation.

I'll make a strong recommendation to
social services for her to retain

of the child. I'll take it.

Okay.

Deal.

You did the right thing.

We had no evidence.

Best we could get.

I don't care why you did it.

That kid needs a mother.

You never want to believe good people
can do bad things.

The Savitskys didn't go looking for a
crime.

The crime came looking for them.

Four months later, the call came in.

Three fishermen found a skull with a
bullet hole.

I heard about the shark.

How about that?

My lawyer says you can't retry me for
her murder.

That's right.

Why are you here?

Had another interview.

Came to see how you were doing.

Yeah?

She wasn't going to give him back, you
know?

Not without more money.

That's why I went to Virginia.

To kidnap her?

To rescue my son.

Why'd you kill her?

After the birth, I asked her if she was
gonna leave us alone.

She laughed at me, and she said that she
was going to go to the police and that

they were going to take away my son.

How'd you get her on the boat?

I gave her Demerol, got her woozy.

Middle of the night, I told her I was
taking her to the hospital.

After I threw the gun in the ocean and
I... I went home to my

wife and my baby.

Just like that?

Yeah.

It was horrible.

I didn't have a choice.

Maybe not.

I'm not a bad man, Lieutenant.

It's going okay in here?

I'm all right.

I work at the infirmary.

Every weekend I get to see my wife, my
boy.

He's getting big.

You know, if I make parole, I should be
out in time for his first day of

kindergarten.

Amy Savitsky pled guilty to involuntary
manslaughter and was sentenced to five

years formal probation as part of her
plea agreement.

After a review by Child Protective
Services, she was granted custody of her

child. Carl Savitsky is currently
serving five to ten years for

manslaughter at the California State
Prison in Sentinella. Despite new

suggesting the premeditated murder of
Kathleen Anderson, double jeopardy

precludes a new trial.

Carl Savitsky is eligible for parole in
five years.
