In the criminal justice system, the
people are represented by two separate

equally important groups. The police who
investigate crime, and the district

attorneys who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

Oh, you can't take a real one down Oh,
you

can't take a real one down

Female, 20.

Nurse coming home from her shift, found
the body.

Didn't see anyone playing the scene.

Called it at 11 .55 p .m. Got an I .D.?
Didn't find any phone, wallet, or I .D.

on her person.

Marks on her neck and the hemorrhaging
in her eyes. It's consistent with

asphyxiation. Got her head bashed in,
too.

Any witnesses?

Is that a tattoo?

Nah, looks like some sort of entry stamp
for a club.

Guitar pick?

Musician?

Didn't go out on a high note.

Recognize that?

Yeah, I saw us.

Stamp everyone that comes through the
front door.

I got something else.

You ever seen this woman before?

Oh, my God.

Yeah, that's Zena.

Zena? Zena Worth. I mean, I think that's
what her real name is. But yeah, she

played here last night.

You think that's her real name? I think,
but that's the name I wrote on her

checks. What time did she finish her
set?

I was being wrapped around 11 .30 or so.

Crow was going crazy for her.

Can you think of anyone who wasn't a big
fan?

No. I don't know. Anybody giving her
trouble at the show last night?

No. Sorry.

In this industry, there are vultures
everywhere.

The Xena lady was a big deal.

She's got over 285 ,000 Instagram
followers.

Sounds like she's very talented.

Now she's dead.

The cost of chasing your dreams, I
guess. All right, so what are you

man?

You against people chasing their dreams?
I'm not against it. All right, so your

daughter comes to you. She's like, hey,
Dad, I want to be an actor or a

sculptor. What are you going to say?

I'm saying she ought to go to law
school, you know?

Become a teacher, get her summers off.
That's the dream. Come on, are you

serious right now?

I mean, kind of. You know, look,
someone's super passionate about

They're really good at it. I get it. You
got to chase it down. Exactly.

Otherwise, there'd be no Michael Jordan.

No Matisse.

Think about all the people that chased
it and then failed, you know? When you

have kids, you'll understand.

Wait, hold on a second. Jess, what are
you doing here?

My son's girlfriend didn't come home
last night.

White, late 20s, Barbie in 4D.

Hey.

What's going on?

What are they doing here? Um... Uh...
Maybe if you just let us come inside and

we can all sit down and... Why? No, just
tell me what's going on.

These gentlemen are detectives.

Early this morning they found Zina and,
um... She's dead.

What? I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, Leo.

No, no, no. No.

No, she's not dead.

Okay, well, why don't you just let us
in? Because I'm here to help. They're

to help. What happened?

Did she overdose?

Um,

um, I don't... There's a little kid
there.

Hey, I, uh... I need you to go back to
your room.

I have to speak to these people for a
few minutes, okay?

Who is that?

I think it's his daughter, Izzy.

When was the last time you spoke to her?

Yesterday.

Early evening.

Did you go to her show?

No.

I was going to, but... Any reason why
she was walking north after the gig?

You guys live ten blocks south.

Maybe she wanted to get something to
eat.

Uh -huh.

Do you guys know who did it?

No, we don't.

But we're gonna need your help.

Okay?

Can you think of anyone who may have
wanted to hurt her?

Can we give him a minute, guys?

Of course.

Mind if we take a look around?

Thanks.

I can't believe she's gone.

I'm really sorry, Leo.

I am.

But you know, we are here to help.

It's my job.

I mean, did anything odd happen the past
couple of weeks? Did you get in any

arguments or fights?

I don't think so.

What were friends like?

I don't know how to answer that.

Jess, I need to show you something.

Be right back.

Found this in the closet.

Are you kidding me right now?

What? What is it? They found cocaine in
your closet?

What? Cocaine? Don't do that. I had no
idea.

I'm sober. I've been sober for 13
months. No drug. No alcohol.

Are you dealing?

Did you really just say that?

Don't mess back around on me. It's not
mine.

Okay, fine. I'm sorry.

Are you saying it's Venus?

Maybe. I don't know. Talking about a
kilo of cocaine here, Leo. What?

A kilo?

I mean, what is she doing with that
amount of cocaine in her possession?

I don't know.

She slipped. She started using again.

But that still doesn't explain... Hey,
Izzy.

Where's Mommy?

Oh, she's, um... She's not here right
now.

But why don't you go back to your room?
I'll let you watch SpongeBob and have a

little soda.

Really? Yeah, but just for today.

Okay. Okay.

I'll be right back.

Who's going to take care of her?

Me.

What do you mean?

I'm going to adopt her.

What?

It's just you're a musician and you work
all night.

I have no choice.

Well, what about her father?

He's dead.

He OD'd on fentanyl three years ago.

I just found some love letters in the
nightstand.

Yeah, the guy's been sending those for
months now. We were worried. That's why

we kept them.

Just in case.

We even tried calling the cops.

But they didn't seem to care.

So, what do we do with this?

Book it into evidence with everything
else. No special treatment here.

Right.

What does that mean?

It means we don't treat this case any
different than we treat any other case.

Look, I think what Leo's asking is, who
does this belong to?

And are we filing charges against
anyone?

Up to you.

As far as I understand, Leo was unaware
that there were drugs in the apartment.

So, look, he said he didn't know about
the coke. I believed him. If you two

to... I'm good.

Okay?

You? Yeah, I suppose.

You suppose.

He said he didn't know. He didn't know,
and we can't prove him wrong. Exactly

right. Yep.

So it's settled. Right.

Drugs belong to the victim.

Yep. Yep.

Got a problem with this?

All right.

Phone company's going to send electronic
data later today.

Still no video.

Not a lot of cameras in that area.

Just got off the phone with the ME
official cause of death strangulation.

Shocker. I know, but the good news is
she found third -party DNA underneath

Vic's fingernails.

Send those envelopes to the crime lab.
Maybe we'll get a hit. I already tried,

but I think I got something else.

I was able to piece together some of
these ripped -up envelopes. I got a

address in Brooklyn.

That idiot puts a return address on a
stalker letter.

The kind that doesn't think he's a
stalker?

Which is even scarier.

Yeah, Xena had this amazing voice. It
was magic.

Precise pitch, steady vibrato.

Very talented, no doubt. And beautiful,
huh?

Yeah, she was.

I just gotta... You went to every gig,
correct? Yes. Actually, I missed one two

months ago. My mother got sick.

Right. Did you go to the gig last night?

At the Red Cat? Yeah. What about after
the show? What did you do then? Went to

this gamer lounge in Chelsea.

What time was that?

Around 10 .45.

10 .45?

The show didn't end until 11 .30,
though.

Yeah, I left early.

How come?

I was upset.

I thought she was vibing with my friend.

Vibing? How?

I don't know. She was singing this song
right to him, and it looked like she was

really into him.

You got any proof from this gamer
lounge?

I got a receipt.

What else can you tell us about Xena?

See anything unusual last night?

Do you have any known enemies, anything
like that? Yeah, her best friend.

True evil smiles as hand reaches for
knife.

Yeah, that was me.

It was stupid, I know, but I couldn't
help it. Why'd you get so upset, man?

was leaving the band.

Wanted to branch out on her own.
Leaving? She played with you last night.

Yeah, that was her last performance.

I didn't mean it like that. It's all
right. We get it.

Well, for what it's worth, we heard you
guys crushed it.

We did.

It was her best show ever.

And she was just going to throw it all
away?

How come?

She got seduced by this producer.

He kept telling her she was going to be
the next Karen O.

Who?

Yo. Yep.

After the show, did you guys discuss it
at all? Did you try to convince her not

to leave?

No. The ship had already sailed.

So I just said, good luck.

Went to a party down in Tribeca.

What time was that? About 15 minutes
after the show ended.

I have some photos. There were lots of
people there.

I didn't kill her, man.

Xena was one of my best friends, but she
was an addict.

Just couldn't help herself, you know?

If I'm being honest, I blame all of this
on that producer.

How do you mean?

He's the one that got her back into the
whole coke scene.

She just sort of lost her way.

Yeah, um, Nina and I were... Sorry,
sorry, this

whole thing is hard to process.

So you guys were pretty close, huh?

Yeah.

Um, I was gonna help launch her solo
career.

Were you two romantically involved?

I don't think that's any of your
business.

And I'd agree with you if she was still
breathing, but she's not, so... No, no,

it was all business.

But the problem was, her dumbass
boyfriend didn't understand that.

What does that mean?

Started to get really jealous and
paranoid.

Got in my face a few times. That's what
boyfriends tend to do when the girls

start spending lots of time with other
guys, though, right? Yeah, well, he was

out of line.

He was in love. When was the last time
you saw Xena?

Day before she died.

And did she say or do anything
concerning?

Yeah.

Said her psycho boyfriend was going to
kill her.

So this producer said Zena was worried
about Leo?

Well, more than just worried.

Was worried Leo was gonna kill her.
Yeah, I mean, who knows if it's even

We gotta check it out, right?

Absolutely.

I'll go talk to him.

That's, uh, not a good idea.

He's my son.

Exactly.

So what now? Is he some official
suspect?

No. No. Not... Not right now, anyway.

Okay. Then I'm gonna talk to him.

Why don't I come with you?

Great.

She was afraid that I was going to kill
her? That's insane.

That's what this guy Sean said. I don't
care what he says. Well, were you two

having problems? Like I said before, she
was using again. So you guys were

fighting? I was concerned.

I was trying to get her to go to a few
meetings.

You're not exactly answering my
question, Leo.

Do you really think that I killed Xena?
I... Say that? No, neither did Vince.

No. Look, hey, Leo, we're just trying to
understand what was going on in

Athena's life. So tell me about the day
she was killed. Did anything unusual

happen that day?

Yeah.

We got into a nasty fight.

About what?

I was flipping out about the drugs, and
I thought she was cheating on me.

So I followed her.

You followed her? She had errands she
needed to run, and I offered to go with

her, but...

She just said she needed to clear her
head.

So when she left, I followed her. Where?
Where did she go?

To a townhouse on the corner of 12th and
7th. You know who lives there?

Chauncey. Okay, Leo.

You don't have to answer any more
questions, and you can ask for a lawyer

whenever you want. What are you talking
about? I didn't kill her! I know you

didn't kill her! Hey, Jeff.

Look, I think it's time for you to step
outside for a second. Okay?

She's trying to look out for you. You
know that, right?

Just tell me about this argument.

When Zena came home around 5, I
confronted her, and I told her

knew. She said that I was inventing
things in my head, and I just kept

tell her to go to rehab or go to a
meeting.

But she ran out.

That was the last time I saw her.

Where were you?

that night between 11 p .m. and
midnight.

I was here with Izzy all night.

Okay.

Spoke to Izzy. She said that she and Leo
were home all night.

That they cooked dinner and watched TV.
He read her a book, Matilda,

and they fell asleep together.

It's all well and good, but we need to
verify it.

Obviously, but I mean, there's not a lot
of cameras in that building, so. Well,

keep looking.

And I think you should take another run
at that Sean Chase guy, because if Leo

is telling the truth, he lied to you.

I'm sorry, all right? I have no idea
what you guys are talking about. You

see her the day that she was killed. No,
I did not. I told you the last time

that I saw her was the day before she
was killed. Hold on.

That's Dina, right?

Yeah, it looks like her. So how'd she
get in your house?

I don't know.

She have a key?

I don't think so.

You don't think so? No, I don't. But you
weren't home, huh? Correct.

Hey, in fact, you want proof?

Hey, guys, hold the work for a second.

I was at a recording session from 11 a
.m. to 4 .30 p .m.

Got it? Happy?

Satisfied? One more thing.

Yeah. Xena enters your house at 3 .46
and exits at 4 .15 carrying a duffel

So? Any idea what was inside the bag?

Nope. No?

How about you?

You got any idea?

I got a real good idea.

How's that?

Okay, that's crazy and completely out of
line. Is it? Really?

Because this is a text that you sent
Zena five hours before she was murdered.

You dumb bitch, you think I don't know
what you just did? I was talking about a

song that we were working on that has
nothing to do with drugs. Come on, man.

You think we're stupid?

You asking me? I am. She stole your
coke, so you killed her.

All right. I want to talk to my lawyer.
Yeah, I'll bet you do. He can meet you

at the 27th Precinct. Turn around.

Sean Chase, you're under arrest for the
murder of Zena Worth.

The defendant's DNA was found under the
victim's fingernails. Trace amounts of

her blood was discovered on his
clothing, and he was seen on

close proximity to the crime scene
minutes after the attack.

Due to the...

severity and brutal nature of the crime
that people request remand.

Ms. Matos. This evidence against Mr.
Chase is thin and it's circumstantial.

there's a reason. You see, the real
killer is Leo Brady, the son of a

NYPD homicide detective.

Your Honor, this is outrageous.

But it's true. Okay, okay, enough. This
is a bond hearing.

Bail is set at $2 million.

Next case.

Hey. Hey, Jess. Thanks for coming over.

Yeah. Have a seat.

So, Sean Chase's defense lawyer is
claiming that your son committed the

and that his mother helped cover it up.

Yeah, I know.

So, I just want to make sure that I know
everything there is to know.

Excuse me?

If there's anything you want to share
with me, off the record. No.

We did this right.

Didn't cut any corners, wouldn't hide
any evidence. I've got nothing to hide.

What about the cocaine?

Why weren't any charges filed?

Because the person it belonged to is
dead.

Jess, I am not accusing you or your son
of anything.

I'm just trying to give you an
opportunity to share any details that

been left out of a police report.

Thank you, but like I said, we did this
right.

Okay.

You know, my son didn't kill this woman.

He loved her.

He's a very kind, gentle, talented
musician who was trying to help her get

clean. That's what got left out of the
police report.

I caught your interview the other night.
Seems that the campaign's going well.

What can I do for you, Chief?

It's been a worth case.

Some of us at 1PP are concerned for
obvious reasons.

Yeah, I get it.

But I talked to Lieutenant Brady. She's
got nothing to hide.

Doesn't matter.

The defense will make certain
accusations, certain insinuations, and

will have a field day.

If there's anything you can do to help
alleviate the potential negative press,

I'd appreciate that.

We're not pleading a lot to a lesser
charge. That's what you suggested.

And that's up to you.

I just wanted to make it clear that
we're concerned.

We're in this thing together.

We support you when you need us, and
we're just hoping you support us.

He choked a young woman to death.

A young woman with an eight -year -old
daughter.

There is no way we're offering a deal.

Thanks for the coffee, Chief.

The proposed defense is without merit
and unduly prejudicial. And as such,

should not be permitted to introduce
third party culpability evidence.

This evidence is highly probative, Your
Honor, and it clearly shows that Leo

Brady had a motive to kill Xena Wirth.

In the days leading up to the murder, he
was jealous and paranoid. He literally

fought and stalked the victim hours
before her death, and he sent the victim

scores of threatening texts in the hours
prior to her death. That may be true,

but he was at home with the victim's
daughter all night. There is no evidence

tying him to the crime scene. Which is
irrelevant, pursuant that people be the

pitbull, which held that the absence of
proof directly linking a third party to

a... crime scene is not necessarily
fatal to the introduction of third party

culpability evidence.

I agree.

Your Honor, please. We're done here, Mr.
Prey.

It's just a ploy to distract the jury,
give them an excuse to find reasonable

doubt.

So I'm a scapegoat?

They're going to attack me and make me
look like some sort of killer? No,

their hope, but we are going to make
sure that doesn't happen. How?

You're going to be my first witness, and
we're going to make it clear that you

had nothing to do with Zena's death. By
the time the trial's over, everyone will

know you're innocent and that Sean Chase
is the killer. Yeah, but it's not your

name and reputation getting dragged
through the mud.

I'm not so sure about that. They're
coming for me too, you know.

Sorry. It's okay.

It's just I'm trying to get custody of
Izzy, and I'm in the middle of this

custody fight with Zena's sister, and
they're going to use this against me.

No doubt.

You sure you want to go all in on this
custody fight right now?

What?

I mean, being a parent is no joke.

It's like a full -time job for life.

Yeah.

Yeah, you've really been putting in some
extra long hours.

For God's sake, Leo.

It's sort of funny, you telling me how
time -consuming and difficult it is to

a parent.

And all I can say is I did my best,
whether you believe it or not.

Well, I want to be there for Izzy.

She needs me.

And unlike some people, I don't give up
on the people I love.

Okay, I hope it all works out.

Get some sleep.

You're up first tomorrow.

When was the last time you saw your
girlfriend, Xena Worth?

Friday, November 7th, around 5 .30 p .m.
Can you describe

her state of mind?

She seemed really anxious.

I asked her what she'd been doing all
day, who she was with, but she didn't

answer.

She just said she was out running
errands. Did you believe her?

No. How come?

I thought she was cheating on me. With
another man?

Yes.

Sean Chase.

Why did you think that?

She had been spending a lot of time with
him.

They were going to work on a new album
together.

Supposedly.

But they were really just drinking and
doing coke.

Were there any other reasons that you
suspected Zina was romantically involved

with the defendant?

Yes. On that day, November 7th, I
followed her.

And I watched her walk into Sean's
townhouse in the West Village.

Did you confront her?

Yeah. And how did she respond?

She said that I was paranoid. Did she
deny entering Sean Chase's townhome that

day?

No. She said she was just there to get
what she was owed.

Do you know what she meant by that?

Sean promised her a $50 ,000 advance
against this new album.

And he only paid her $25 ,000. So I'm
pretty sure that's what she was

to. And... When Zena returned home that
day, after entering the defendant's

townhome, was she carrying anything?

A duffel bag.

Do you know what was inside it?

No. But the day after she was killed,
the police found a kilo of cocaine in

bedroom. Objection. Call for
speculation.

Sustained.

So, you didn't see the cocaine in the
duffel bag.

Correct. That's fine.

But do you happen to know the
approximate street value of a kilo of

About $25 ,000.

Mr. Brady, where were you between 10 p
.m. and midnight on November 7th? Home.

With Zena's daughter, Izzy.

Nothing further.

No questions.

When did you learn about Zena Worth's
murder?

The morning of November 8th. Were you at
the crime scene?

No. I was sleeping. The radio call went
out to two of my homicide detectives,

Vincent Riley and Theo Walker.

And when Detectives Riley and Walker
showed up at your son's apartment the

after the murder to question him, were
you present?

Yes. My son had called me to tell me
Zina was missing.

And did the police find any illegal
contraband in your son's apartment?

Yes.

Cocaine. How much?

A kilo.

Was your son charged with drug
possession?

No.

Why not?

Because the cocaine didn't belong to
him.

Is it typical for someone not to be
charged with cocaine possession when a

of cocaine is found in his bedroom?

Is that not classified as constructive
possession? Not when the person is

with a known drug addict and has
absolutely no knowledge of the drugs in

bedroom.

So you believed your son's story?

There was no evidence to suggest he
wasn't telling the truth.

Was it typical for the mother of a
murder suspect to question said murder

suspect? Excuse me? Does the NYPD
handbook recommend that mothers of

suspects... Objection.

Argumentative. Sustained.

Your Honor, I think this will go more
smoothly if I treat this witness as

hostile. I agree.

Granted. Lieutenant Brady, your job is
to oversee homicide cases, not to

actively investigate them. I oversee and
investigate cases.

All the time or only when your son's a
suspect?

Objection. Sustained.

Watch it, Ms. Matos.

Can you please tell the jury why you
ignored substantial and credible

that suggested your son killed Zina
Wirth? No, I can't, because that's not

Oh, really?

He got into a heated argument with her
hours before her death. He accused her

having an affair.

Objection argumentative.

Sustained.

No more questions.

Your Honor, these text messages marked
as Defense Exhibit 21, recovered from

Zina Worth's phone, sent from Leo Brady
to Zina Worth on the day of the murder.

Request permission for Mr. Chase to read
them.

Please read the text messages.

You're making me crazy.

You're a liar and a whore.

You make me sick.

You're going to wind up dead.

And this is Defense Exhibit 22, Your
Honor.

And did Leo Brady send you these texts
on November 7th? Yes.

Please read them.

I know what's going on.

If it doesn't stop, I'll put you both in
the ground.

I'm going to break every bone in your
body and put a bullet in your eye.

No more questions.

Your DNA was found under Xena's
fingernails, correct?

Yes, because we had sex the day before
she was killed and she was scratching

And her blood was found on your pants
and shoes inside your home. She gets

nosebleeds sometimes, so that's probably
how they got there. And you were seen

on video two blocks from the crime
scene, three minutes after the murder. I

so happened to live in the neighborhood,
and I was out for a walk. People's

Exhibit 17, Ron.

This is Xena entering your townhome
empty -handed, and then,

half hour later, exiting.

with a duffel bag is there a question
your honor mr price there is cocaine in

that duffel bag correct no and yet
approximately two hours after xena

exited your town home with that duffel
bag and approximately five hours before

she was murdered you sent her this text
message you dumb you really think

i don't know what you just did it had
nothing to do with cocaine

We were collaborating on an album
together and we had a disagreement.

I love Xena.

We were going to do great things
together and make hit records, get rich.

So you tell me, why would I kill her?

Because she stole a kilo of your
cocaine.

Objection. There's no foundation for
this accusation.

Sustained. Nothing further.

I just saw a headline.

Cuckold cop's son lost mind day of
murder. Yeah, the press is definitely

with that angle. Makes for better
headlines.

Problem is, he really did lose his mind
that day. Sent a lot of angry texts.

But still, evidence against Sean is
still strong.

Sounds like the evidence against Leo
Brady is too.

At a minimum, it portrays him as a
jealous, jilted boyfriend.

He made a lot of threats prior to the
murder.

And he admits to stalking and...

arguing with her hours before the
murder. Yeah, it's definitely not ideal,

we still have a strong case. Assuming
the jury doesn't buy the alternative

narrative. I think we just have to trust
in the fact.

No, we need to control how the jury
perceives the fact.

How do you mean? We need to find a
definitive way to counter their theory

crime, counter this reasonable doubt
they're creating.

I can have the victim's daughter testify
that Leo was home all night, but...

She's just a kid, and she fell asleep
around eight.

No, we need actual proof.

Talk to Leo again. Review his timeline.

Who knows? Maybe he ordered a late
-night pizza or was playing video games

a friend.

I already talked to him about that, but
I'm happy to try again.

No, let's let someone else take a run at
him.

I already told you I was here all night.
Yep.

Now we have to prove it.

Well, I don't know how you want to do
that.

Were you in line at all?

No.

From 6 .30 to 10 p .m., you have a bunch
of missed calls to Xena, 12

very aggressive texts that you should
not be proud of, and then for the next

hours, nothing.

After that, more unanswered calls, more
angry texts.

So? So, what were you doing for those
two hours?

I was sleeping. The whole thing, the
arguing, the drugs, the affair.

I was exhausted.

You know, I know you.

When you're upset, anxious, you don't
sleep.

Even as a little kid.

People change.

Do they?

Excuse me?

Do people really change?

Yes, they do.

Hey.

What are you still doing here?

Trying to prove that Leo is nowhere near
the crime scene.

And?

What does that mean?

Just means some things never change.

Not sure that exactly answers my
question.

Do you think parents make any
difference?

Like if a kid turns out great,

are not so great.

I mean, do we matter? Do you think it
has to do with us

or them?

I mean, as far as I can tell, kids just
are who they are.

I mean, my kids are pretty much exactly
the same as they were when they were

three, just older.

I mean, like, my wife and I, we manage
on the margin.

We'll push here.

Nudge there, but... I don't know.

What do I know? My son just got
detention for throwing jello at

Yeah, I just...

wonder if I could have done more to help
Leo.

Addiction is tricky.

Believe me, I know.

Don't beat yourself up about it.

Well, that's my favorite hobby.

Yeah, mine too.

Look, if there's anything I can do...
I'm good, thanks.

Yeah? Yep.

Thank you.

I can't believe you put this much time
and effort into embarrassing me.

Embarrassing you?

Is that what you think this is?

You're going to have to testify.

For God's sakes, I'm not the one. Yeah,
I understand, but we need to make it

clear you were nowhere near the crime
scene.

I get it, but isn't there another way
that we can do that? I mean, I testified

already. I said I was home with Izzy.
Yeah, I know, and that wasn't the truth.

This is really bad.

The Zena sister's going to use this
against me in the custody case. She

will, and you know what? She should.

I mean, what were you thinking?

Leaving an eight -year -old child home
alone by herself. What if something had

happened? I get it. It was wrong.

But I was freaking out about Zena. I
couldn't get her out of my head, and I

tried to sleep. I really did.

But she wasn't answering my texts or my
calls.

Please, don't do this.

Mr. Brady, can you tell the jury where
you were between 10pm and midnight on

November 7th?

I was at a bar called Lucky.

Where's that located?

In the West Village.

Is that you?

Drinking at the bar at 10 .01pm and
exiting at 12

.03am? Yes.

Just to be clear, Mr. Brady, you
previously testified you were at home

Zina's daughter during this time period.
Yes.

Why did you lie?

I was embarrassed.

I was ashamed.

I shouldn't have left the apartment.

I shouldn't have gone to that bar.

But I was a wreck. I wasn't thinking
clearly.

Has the jury reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

In the charge of murder in the second
degree, the jury finds the defendant,

Chase, guilty.

Court is adjourned.

You did good.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Well, at least we got a conviction.

Yeah, we did.

Your testimony was crucial.

I hope you're proud of that.

You really stepped up for her and Izzy.

Speaking of that, I spoke to child
services this morning, and they think it

would be really helpful.

If you got involved in the case.

What do you mean? Well, the woman, the
guardian, appointed to Izzy, she said it

would be good if you testified on my
behalf.

And told everyone what a good guy I am,
what a good father I would be.

Um... Yeah, I don't think I can do that.

What?

I need you, Mom.

Yeah, but...

You're not ready to be a father.

Yet.

You're just not. And Xena's sister, I
looked her up, she's a fifth grade

teacher. And her husband's a lawyer.

They don't even know her. It's not
perfect, I know. I'm ready to be a

A good father. I know you think you are.

But this is real life,

Leo. Real life.

And you're a dreamer.

You always have been, which is a
beautiful thing. Just not...

When it comes to being a parent
