1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,799
In the criminal
justice system,
2
00:00:08,870 --> 00:00:12,536
sexually based offenses are
considered especially heinous.
3
00:00:12,610 --> 00:00:13,669
In New York City,
4
00:00:13,746 --> 00:00:16,775
the dedicated detectives who
investigate these vicious felonies
5
00:00:16,853 --> 00:00:20,313
are members of an elite squad
known as the Special Victims Unit.
6
00:00:20,392 --> 00:00:22,191
These are their stories.
7
00:00:27,539 --> 00:00:28,871
That's it. I'm done.
8
00:00:28,941 --> 00:00:30,774
What
do you mean, done?
9
00:00:30,846 --> 00:00:34,340
Paperwork. It's, like, the
first time in, like, five years.
10
00:00:34,420 --> 00:00:36,412
So, we're actually gonna
get out of here early?
11
00:00:36,489 --> 00:00:39,189
Yeah. Move slowly,
so nobody notices.
12
00:00:40,532 --> 00:00:44,130
Guy downstairs says I need
to speak with a special cop.
13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,535
We're Special Victims
Unit. How can I help you?
14
00:00:46,610 --> 00:00:48,476
I haven't seen my
granddaughter in four days.
15
00:00:48,547 --> 00:00:50,483
She's only
11 months old.
16
00:00:50,551 --> 00:00:51,849
Does she live with you?
17
00:00:52,521 --> 00:00:53,511
Uh...
18
00:00:55,059 --> 00:00:58,829
My daughter went to Atlantic City
with some girlfriends for the weekend.
19
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:00,163
She's been home
for over a day,
20
00:01:00,236 --> 00:01:02,867
and I haven't seen
my grandbaby since.
21
00:01:02,942 --> 00:01:05,378
And you think your daughter had
something to do with her disappearance.
22
00:01:05,446 --> 00:01:10,549
She used my car when she was
away. And now, Sierra's gone.
23
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,123
And the car smells
like a dead body.
24
00:01:20,475 --> 00:01:23,970
Ashlee Walker.
Put the hose down, please.
25
00:01:24,048 --> 00:01:25,107
You went
to the cops?
26
00:01:25,185 --> 00:01:27,087
Where's your daughter?
27
00:01:27,156 --> 00:01:28,215
God.
28
00:01:28,290 --> 00:01:30,659
You are such a bitch. I told
you she's at the babysitter's.
29
00:01:30,729 --> 00:01:32,323
You know what? You're
full of crap! That's it.
30
00:01:32,399 --> 00:01:34,096
You know that I'm
Sierra's babysitter.
31
00:01:34,170 --> 00:01:35,729
Yeah. You were until two weeks ago
32
00:01:35,806 --> 00:01:37,571
when you got drunk and
left her in the bathtub.
33
00:01:37,643 --> 00:01:38,872
You're a liar!
I do not drink!
34
00:01:38,945 --> 00:01:41,575
Ladies. Ladies. We're not
here to play Family Feud.
35
00:01:41,650 --> 00:01:44,088
We just wanna know that Sierra's
okay. What did you do with her?
36
00:01:44,155 --> 00:01:47,024
Nothing! You creaky old bitch! Don't
you talk to me like that, young lady!
37
00:01:47,094 --> 00:01:49,497
Time to go. Time to
go. Time to go inside.
38
00:01:49,566 --> 00:01:51,000
All right. Now. So, what are you doing?
39
00:01:51,068 --> 00:01:52,503
Cleaning out the trunk
of your car, here?
40
00:01:52,572 --> 00:01:56,102
I was on a trip. A cooler
tipped over. You know.
41
00:01:56,178 --> 00:01:58,307
Some meat must have
spoiled or something.
42
00:01:58,382 --> 00:01:59,645
Or something?
43
00:01:59,718 --> 00:02:01,517
You think I'm lying?
44
00:02:05,095 --> 00:02:07,623
Half a pound
of ground chuck.
45
00:02:07,702 --> 00:02:09,295
We were going to
grill burgers.
46
00:02:09,370 --> 00:02:10,361
So, where is Sierra?
47
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,674
I told you. She's with Maria, my sitter.
48
00:02:13,745 --> 00:02:17,116
I could have gotten her this
morning, and I decided to do chores.
49
00:02:17,186 --> 00:02:18,415
I'm going to
get her right now.
50
00:02:20,559 --> 00:02:22,586
You sure this is the
right apartment? Yes. Okay?
51
00:02:22,663 --> 00:02:25,134
324 West 18th,
Apartment B.
52
00:02:25,203 --> 00:02:26,329
Have you ever
been here before?
53
00:02:26,404 --> 00:02:29,171
No. Maria would always
pick her up from my place.
54
00:02:31,079 --> 00:02:33,572
Yes?
Who are you?
55
00:02:33,652 --> 00:02:35,622
Yolanda.
Is Maria here?
56
00:02:37,191 --> 00:02:39,162
No Maria here.
She has to be here.
57
00:02:39,230 --> 00:02:40,357
Hey! Hey!
Sierra! Sierra!
58
00:02:40,431 --> 00:02:42,025
She can't just walk in here
like she owns the place.
59
00:02:42,101 --> 00:02:43,729
I understand, she's
upset. Listen to me. No!
60
00:02:43,805 --> 00:02:45,672
Help us out, here. Have
you seen this little girl?
61
00:02:45,742 --> 00:02:47,232
No. Never.
You're sure?
62
00:02:47,311 --> 00:02:49,578
There's no sign of her.
Where is she?
63
00:02:49,649 --> 00:02:50,776
See? I told you!
You're a liar.
64
00:02:50,850 --> 00:02:52,946
You are a liar.
You lied! Okay.
65
00:02:53,021 --> 00:02:54,490
This is the address
that Maria gave me! Hey.
66
00:02:54,559 --> 00:02:56,859
Ashlee? Ashlee, she's
not here. Let's go.
67
00:02:56,930 --> 00:03:01,302
Sierra! This is a set-up!
Maria stole my baby!
68
00:03:01,372 --> 00:03:04,208
She stole my baby!
She could be anywhere!
69
00:03:54,542 --> 00:03:57,514
Are we sure Ashlee's not sending
us out on a wild goose chase
70
00:03:57,581 --> 00:03:59,483
with this babysitter
kidnap story?
71
00:03:59,552 --> 00:04:01,579
It's hard to tell. But
the hotel in AC did say
72
00:04:01,656 --> 00:04:02,919
that she was there
all weekend.
73
00:04:02,991 --> 00:04:05,188
Well, what kind of mom
goes out to party
74
00:04:05,262 --> 00:04:06,560
and leaves her kid
with a woman
75
00:04:06,632 --> 00:04:09,661
she barely knows and doesn't bother to
write down her last name or phone number?
76
00:04:09,739 --> 00:04:11,436
One who's young
and irresponsible.
77
00:04:11,509 --> 00:04:12,602
You believe her?
78
00:04:12,677 --> 00:04:13,838
Looks like
Grandma does.
79
00:04:13,913 --> 00:04:15,643
It's going to be okay.
80
00:04:15,717 --> 00:04:17,116
That's a change.
81
00:04:17,186 --> 00:04:22,858
We'll tread lightly until we make
sure whether Mom is a victim or a perp.
82
00:04:22,931 --> 00:04:23,956
Anything?
83
00:04:24,033 --> 00:04:25,865
We have an Amber
Alert out for Sierra.
84
00:04:25,936 --> 00:04:27,062
And an APB on Maria.
85
00:04:27,139 --> 00:04:29,006
Any luck remembering
Maria's last name?
86
00:04:29,076 --> 00:04:31,342
It's, like,
Fernandez or Hernandez
87
00:04:31,412 --> 00:04:33,383
or something like that
with a "dez. "
88
00:04:33,451 --> 00:04:35,717
Okay. Ashlee, when was the
last time you saw your daughter?
89
00:04:35,789 --> 00:04:37,053
Friday.
90
00:04:37,994 --> 00:04:40,363
I put, like,
91
00:04:40,431 --> 00:04:42,868
a weekend's worth of clothes
in Sierra's diaper bag,
92
00:04:42,969 --> 00:04:47,206
and some puddings, and then,
Maria picked her up at, like, 6:00.
93
00:04:47,278 --> 00:04:48,371
What kind of car
was she driving?
94
00:04:48,446 --> 00:04:51,680
A red four-door. Maybe...
Maybe, like, Toyota.
95
00:04:51,753 --> 00:04:53,016
Did you get a
license plate number?
96
00:04:53,088 --> 00:04:54,319
No.
97
00:04:54,393 --> 00:04:55,724
Baby, it's going to be okay. No.
98
00:04:55,795 --> 00:04:57,195
They're going to find her.
They're going to find her.
99
00:04:57,264 --> 00:04:59,563
El. Olivia.
100
00:04:59,635 --> 00:05:00,763
You got a tip?
101
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,275
Even better. There's a
car on the run in Midtown.
102
00:05:03,343 --> 00:05:05,779
Hispanic male,
four-door red Saturn.
103
00:05:05,848 --> 00:05:08,011
Small Caucasian girl
in a car seat.
104
00:05:08,085 --> 00:05:09,110
Headed which way?
105
00:05:09,187 --> 00:05:10,712
Coming right at us.
106
00:05:11,893 --> 00:05:14,420
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You're
going to be sorry, all right.
107
00:05:14,497 --> 00:05:19,235
Sierra? Sierra? Sierra,
baby. Are you okay?
108
00:05:19,307 --> 00:05:21,105
Who's Sierra? The little
girl you kidnapped.
109
00:05:21,177 --> 00:05:23,671
No! I don't kidnap nobody!
You tell that to the judge.
110
00:05:23,749 --> 00:05:26,618
That. The girl. Her name is
Maddy. The daughter of my boss.
111
00:05:26,688 --> 00:05:28,179
I was dropping her
at the day care.
112
00:05:28,258 --> 00:05:29,590
Then, why did you run?
113
00:05:29,660 --> 00:05:31,129
I'm from El Salvador.
114
00:05:31,198 --> 00:05:32,665
I don't want to go back.
115
00:05:32,733 --> 00:05:35,102
Look, I don't know if
it's her. She can't talk.
116
00:05:35,170 --> 00:05:38,142
Come on, baby.
Say cheese.
117
00:05:41,449 --> 00:05:42,942
Is it her?
Did they find her?
118
00:05:43,021 --> 00:05:45,958
Oh, God. Please
let it be her.
119
00:05:46,025 --> 00:05:47,084
That's not her.
120
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,527
Oh, my God!
That...
121
00:05:48,597 --> 00:05:49,896
Where is Sierra?
Where is she?
122
00:05:49,966 --> 00:05:53,167
Elliot, it's not our girl. Come on back.
123
00:05:54,675 --> 00:05:57,273
Ashlee says she met Maria
in Tompkins Square Park.
124
00:05:57,348 --> 00:05:59,614
Let's canvass every
square inch of it.
125
00:06:02,290 --> 00:06:04,487
Excuse me, guys.
You seen this little girl?
126
00:06:04,562 --> 00:06:05,757
No.
127
00:06:05,831 --> 00:06:06,889
You?
128
00:06:06,967 --> 00:06:08,367
No.
129
00:06:08,436 --> 00:06:09,699
Do you know
a woman named Maria?
130
00:06:09,772 --> 00:06:11,468
She watches kids
in this park?
131
00:06:11,543 --> 00:06:12,532
No.
132
00:06:12,645 --> 00:06:15,377
Excuse me. Have you ever seen this girl?
133
00:06:15,450 --> 00:06:18,080
Yeah. Last week with Maria.
134
00:06:18,154 --> 00:06:20,283
You know Maria? Who
doesn't? She's kind of nuts.
135
00:06:20,359 --> 00:06:23,059
Nuts, how? She walks
her baby around all day
136
00:06:23,131 --> 00:06:25,193
asking people if she
can watch their kids.
137
00:06:25,269 --> 00:06:28,799
She creeped me out.
There she is.
138
00:06:31,949 --> 00:06:33,280
Munch.
West end of the park.
139
00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:35,914
Hispanic woman
pushing a stroller.
140
00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:37,958
Maria, hold it.
Who are you?
141
00:06:38,027 --> 00:06:39,587
We're the police.
Arresting your ass.
142
00:06:39,663 --> 00:06:40,653
No! Don't hurt my baby!
143
00:06:40,732 --> 00:06:41,791
It's not Sierra.
144
00:06:41,867 --> 00:06:42,960
Don't wake him up.
145
00:06:44,139 --> 00:06:47,111
Lady, unless this is
Pinocchio, he's not waking up.
146
00:06:47,178 --> 00:06:48,338
Give me my son!
147
00:06:48,414 --> 00:06:49,746
Relax.
Scotty's fine.
148
00:06:49,816 --> 00:06:52,253
But he is going down the trash
chute unless you start talking.
149
00:06:52,321 --> 00:06:54,291
No, he's scared!
He needs his mommy!
150
00:06:54,359 --> 00:06:56,191
Maria. He's a doll.
151
00:06:56,263 --> 00:06:59,029
Isn't he? God took away my only son
152
00:06:59,102 --> 00:07:01,196
and gave me another boy
who can never die.
153
00:07:03,276 --> 00:07:04,574
Does Scotty
ever get lonely?
154
00:07:04,645 --> 00:07:06,581
Sometimes. That's why we go to the park.
155
00:07:06,650 --> 00:07:07,777
So he can play
with the other kids.
156
00:07:07,851 --> 00:07:09,650
Does he ever play
with Sierra Walker?
157
00:07:09,721 --> 00:07:10,746
No!
158
00:07:10,824 --> 00:07:13,659
You sure? You do look after
other people's children.
159
00:07:13,728 --> 00:07:15,527
But never her.
You know what I think?
160
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,569
I think Scotty wasn't
doing it for you anymore,
161
00:07:17,636 --> 00:07:18,661
and you needed
a real baby.
162
00:07:18,738 --> 00:07:20,002
Scotty is my baby.
163
00:07:20,074 --> 00:07:22,546
You went to this little girl's house
Friday night and you picked her up
164
00:07:22,613 --> 00:07:24,445
because you
wanted a real child.
165
00:07:24,517 --> 00:07:28,617
One who would cry, breathe,
need you, call you "Mama. "
166
00:07:28,692 --> 00:07:30,821
No. No!
Where is she?
167
00:07:30,895 --> 00:07:32,388
I told you! I don't know that girl!
168
00:07:32,466 --> 00:07:34,868
I just want to
hold my baby!
169
00:07:41,083 --> 00:07:42,779
Maria,
we ran your financials.
170
00:07:42,852 --> 00:07:45,118
And we know that the day
Sierra Miller came up missing,
171
00:07:45,191 --> 00:07:48,129
you bought a
tarp and a shovel.
172
00:07:48,196 --> 00:07:49,688
I did not.
173
00:07:49,766 --> 00:07:52,397
Home and House. 1:23 p. m.
174
00:07:52,705 --> 00:07:53,935
Your signature.
175
00:07:54,008 --> 00:07:55,238
No.
176
00:07:55,744 --> 00:07:58,876
That's not how
I sign my name.
177
00:07:58,951 --> 00:08:01,046
Someone must have
stolen my credit card.
178
00:08:01,122 --> 00:08:02,988
From this wallet?
179
00:08:03,058 --> 00:08:06,553
See? My Visa. It's gone.
180
00:08:09,170 --> 00:08:11,869
Home and House just sent over
the security camera footage
181
00:08:11,943 --> 00:08:15,313
from where the shovel was
purchased. You've got to see this.
182
00:08:15,382 --> 00:08:16,441
There you are,
right there,
183
00:08:16,519 --> 00:08:18,385
putting the shovel and
the tarp on the counter.
184
00:08:18,454 --> 00:08:20,049
Paying for them with the credit card.
185
00:08:20,125 --> 00:08:21,616
Oh, my God, Ashlee.
186
00:08:21,694 --> 00:08:23,426
What in God's name
have you done?
187
00:08:23,498 --> 00:08:24,989
That's not me.
188
00:08:25,068 --> 00:08:27,062
I can see it's you,
plain as day.
189
00:08:27,138 --> 00:08:28,573
We know Maria
never watched Sierra.
190
00:08:28,642 --> 00:08:31,705
Now, we have you buying a shovel
the day your daughter disappeared.
191
00:08:31,781 --> 00:08:32,771
Mom!
192
00:08:32,851 --> 00:08:34,375
What did you do
with my grandbaby?
193
00:08:34,453 --> 00:08:35,614
Stop, Mom!
194
00:08:35,689 --> 00:08:37,522
I've had
enough of you two.
195
00:08:37,592 --> 00:08:39,459
Get your hands
off of me!
196
00:08:39,529 --> 00:08:41,397
Relax.
Or we'll lock you up, too.
197
00:08:41,468 --> 00:08:42,834
Where is Sierra?
198
00:08:42,903 --> 00:08:45,566
What the hell did you
do with her? Nothing!
199
00:08:45,641 --> 00:08:49,103
Let go of me, you creep!
Get your hands off of me.
200
00:08:54,358 --> 00:08:56,350
You had us running all over
town, looking for Sierra.
201
00:08:56,429 --> 00:08:57,864
And the whole time
you knew where she was.
202
00:08:57,932 --> 00:09:00,663
I don't.
I didn't do anything.
203
00:09:00,737 --> 00:09:04,039
You murdered your baby and you
stuffed her body in your trunk.
204
00:09:04,111 --> 00:09:07,709
No. No. I love my baby.
205
00:09:07,785 --> 00:09:10,916
Ashlee. We will find where you put her.
206
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,722
I don't know where she is.
That crazy lady took her.
207
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,827
Don't lie to me.
208
00:09:17,905 --> 00:09:19,396
I'm telling you
the truth.
209
00:09:19,474 --> 00:09:22,274
She's been lying since
the day she could talk.
210
00:09:22,346 --> 00:09:24,374
About her grades,
her friends,
211
00:09:24,450 --> 00:09:25,942
where she'd go
when she snuck out.
212
00:09:26,020 --> 00:09:27,250
So, she's always
been a handful.
213
00:09:27,322 --> 00:09:29,020
And her father's pet.
214
00:09:29,093 --> 00:09:31,496
But I have tried to set
both of them straight.
215
00:09:31,565 --> 00:09:33,055
And then when
Sierra went missing
216
00:09:33,133 --> 00:09:34,295
and you noticed
the smell in the car...
217
00:09:34,370 --> 00:09:38,037
I thought the worst.
And now, it's come true.
218
00:09:38,110 --> 00:09:41,742
I would never hurt my
daughter. I'm a good mom.
219
00:09:42,753 --> 00:09:44,689
Good mom?
Yes.
220
00:09:44,757 --> 00:09:47,786
Your FaceSpace
tells a different story.
221
00:09:48,330 --> 00:09:50,801
Here you are, drunk
and partying it up in Cabo.
222
00:09:50,869 --> 00:09:52,394
Gonna crown you
mother of the year?
223
00:09:52,471 --> 00:09:54,464
You have no right
to judge me.
224
00:09:54,542 --> 00:09:56,671
Here you are down at the shore,
grabbing some guy's crotch
225
00:09:56,746 --> 00:09:58,112
while Sierra stays at home.
226
00:09:58,182 --> 00:10:00,653
And that's you
in a nightclub in AC.
227
00:10:00,721 --> 00:10:02,349
You know when that was taken?
228
00:10:02,424 --> 00:10:03,483
Right after you
killed your daughter.
229
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,030
I didn't kill her!
230
00:10:06,098 --> 00:10:07,726
She means
everything to me!
231
00:10:07,801 --> 00:10:12,834
Then, why didn't I find one single photo
online of this child that you love so much?
232
00:10:13,980 --> 00:10:17,578
Since when does having a
kid make it illegal to party?
233
00:10:18,154 --> 00:10:20,647
I'm young.
I'm allowed to have fun.
234
00:10:21,027 --> 00:10:23,896
She just won't grow up.
Always arguing with me.
235
00:10:23,965 --> 00:10:28,407
If I say the sky is blue, she says it's
yellow. Never listens to her mother.
236
00:10:28,475 --> 00:10:29,910
Like when
she got pregnant.
237
00:10:29,978 --> 00:10:31,003
What happened then?
238
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,453
I told her, "You make the bastard that
knocked you up pay child support. "
239
00:10:35,522 --> 00:10:38,426
She says, "No. I'll
raise Sierra on my own. "
240
00:10:38,495 --> 00:10:39,656
So, how's that
working out?
241
00:10:39,731 --> 00:10:40,891
Like crap.
242
00:10:40,966 --> 00:10:44,200
My husband and I pay for
everything. I told Ashlee last week,
243
00:10:44,272 --> 00:10:46,904
"You get off your lazy
ass and get a job
244
00:10:46,978 --> 00:10:49,074
"or I am stopping
the gravy train. "
245
00:10:49,148 --> 00:10:50,811
So, what did she do?
She went berserk.
246
00:10:50,886 --> 00:10:53,482
Threw a tantrum. Even
Sierra doesn't do that.
247
00:10:53,557 --> 00:10:55,618
And then,
she threatened me.
248
00:10:55,694 --> 00:10:57,926
Her threats ever turn violent? No.
249
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,902
Little bitch knows
I would kick her ass
250
00:10:59,969 --> 00:11:01,460
if she ever
raised a hand to me.
251
00:11:01,540 --> 00:11:04,910
But I did catch her trying to
steal 40 bucks out of my wallet.
252
00:11:04,978 --> 00:11:06,139
That must have
pissed you off.
253
00:11:06,215 --> 00:11:09,380
I grabbed it back.
And then, she got lippy.
254
00:11:10,088 --> 00:11:13,061
I'm not going to lie to you.
I cracked her in the mouth.
255
00:11:13,129 --> 00:11:15,622
I didn't steal anything.
256
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:16,929
Yeah?
257
00:11:17,504 --> 00:11:19,268
Tell me that again.
258
00:11:20,008 --> 00:11:23,412
While the proof stares you
in the face. Tell me that.
259
00:11:26,154 --> 00:11:30,492
All right. I stole
that lady's credit card.
260
00:11:30,562 --> 00:11:32,328
To buy the shovel
to bury your daughter.
261
00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:36,065
No! I bought the shovel
as a present for my dad!
262
00:11:36,139 --> 00:11:37,164
A present?
263
00:11:37,241 --> 00:11:41,511
Sierra is out there alive
somewhere. And I have to find her.
264
00:11:41,584 --> 00:11:43,747
Sit down.
265
00:11:43,822 --> 00:11:47,022
No. I know my rights.
266
00:11:47,495 --> 00:11:51,060
And you can't keep me here,
because I didn't do anything.
267
00:11:52,204 --> 00:11:54,471
Ashlee Walker,
you're under arrest.
268
00:11:54,542 --> 00:11:56,067
Arrest? For what?
269
00:11:58,884 --> 00:12:00,717
Credit card theft?
That's pretty thin.
270
00:12:00,788 --> 00:12:02,120
Well, I had to charge
her with something.
271
00:12:02,190 --> 00:12:03,215
She was ready to
walk out the door.
272
00:12:03,292 --> 00:12:05,855
And she will, as soon as she posts
bail. Which will be miniscule.
273
00:12:05,931 --> 00:12:08,595
Even her mother thinks she
did it. We need more time.
274
00:12:08,670 --> 00:12:10,663
Well, then, get back in there
and wring a confession out of her
275
00:12:10,740 --> 00:12:13,440
before she remembers her favorite
episode of Judge Judy and lawyers up.
276
00:12:13,513 --> 00:12:15,244
Too late for that.
277
00:12:15,315 --> 00:12:17,148
You two should be
ashamed of yourselves,
278
00:12:17,219 --> 00:12:19,451
conspiring to charge
an innocent mother.
279
00:12:19,525 --> 00:12:21,153
She's as innocent
as Bernie Madoff.
280
00:12:21,227 --> 00:12:22,490
Who called you in,
Sophie?
281
00:12:22,563 --> 00:12:25,865
Ashlee's father, Ralph.
Apparently, he saw me on television.
282
00:12:25,937 --> 00:12:28,533
And then dialed
1-800-WEASEL?
283
00:12:28,608 --> 00:12:30,009
I'm going to
see my client.
284
00:12:30,813 --> 00:12:33,080
Keep an eye on those two. I'm
going to talk with Ralph Walker.
285
00:12:33,151 --> 00:12:36,088
Try and dig a little deeper
into the shovel story.
286
00:12:39,931 --> 00:12:41,524
So, where's Ashlee?
287
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,398
She's
down at the precinct.
288
00:12:43,471 --> 00:12:48,846
I wanted to go down there, but I
figured I'd probably get too emotional.
289
00:12:49,750 --> 00:12:51,811
Best to let my wife
handle that.
290
00:12:51,887 --> 00:12:54,620
That's kind of
how it works in this family.
291
00:12:55,895 --> 00:12:59,231
Actually, it's the way it
works in a lot of families.
292
00:12:59,301 --> 00:13:01,203
Is everything
going to be okay?
293
00:13:01,272 --> 00:13:05,542
Right now, no. Ashlee's been
charged with credit card fraud.
294
00:13:06,784 --> 00:13:11,656
I'd like to say I'm surprised, but she's
always wanted things she shouldn't have.
295
00:13:11,726 --> 00:13:13,161
Like a baby?
296
00:13:18,172 --> 00:13:20,369
She's a good mother,
I guess.
297
00:13:21,978 --> 00:13:25,645
Look. All I know is
that when I got sober,
298
00:13:27,323 --> 00:13:31,092
I tried to show her that it's
possible to be a good parent.
299
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,795
We all do the best we can, and
we try to live with the rest.
300
00:13:35,873 --> 00:13:39,141
For the first 18 years
of her life, I did my worst.
301
00:13:43,855 --> 00:13:49,231
But that little angel.
She's the reason I got sober.
302
00:13:51,070 --> 00:13:54,236
I mean, for my wife
and Ashlee, too.
303
00:13:57,147 --> 00:13:59,675
But the real reason
was for Sierra.
304
00:14:01,155 --> 00:14:02,954
You will find her,
won't you?
305
00:14:03,025 --> 00:14:04,118
We're gonna try.
306
00:14:05,998 --> 00:14:09,903
Right now, we've got to take care
of Ashlee's problems with the fraud.
307
00:14:09,972 --> 00:14:11,736
She said
she bought you a present.
308
00:14:11,809 --> 00:14:14,507
Oh. We have to return
all the stolen items.
309
00:14:16,017 --> 00:14:19,821
She got this on
someone else's dime?
310
00:14:19,891 --> 00:14:21,326
Pretty obvious it's been used.
311
00:14:25,035 --> 00:14:27,301
Ladies and gentleman, there
is a little girl out there...
312
00:14:27,372 --> 00:14:28,568
You know anything about this? No.
313
00:14:28,642 --> 00:14:32,137
She needs our help. Instead
of hunting down every lead
314
00:14:32,215 --> 00:14:37,248
and trying to find this poor missing
child, the police are wasting their time
315
00:14:37,326 --> 00:14:40,059
persecuting the victims.
A family worried sick.
316
00:14:40,131 --> 00:14:42,100
Detectives,
are these allegations true?
317
00:14:42,169 --> 00:14:45,334
Is the NYPD harassing the Walker family?
318
00:14:45,408 --> 00:14:46,397
No comment.
319
00:14:46,477 --> 00:14:48,571
Detective. Was that
shovel used for the crime?
320
00:14:48,648 --> 00:14:49,876
Is Sierra Walker dead?
321
00:14:49,949 --> 00:14:51,418
This is an
ongoing investigation.
322
00:14:51,487 --> 00:14:53,080
We're tracking
down every lead.
323
00:14:53,155 --> 00:14:54,214
Are you worried,
Ms. Devere?
324
00:14:54,291 --> 00:14:56,262
Could your client have used that
shove I to bury her daughter?
325
00:14:56,329 --> 00:14:57,661
Folks, let's just
stay on topic.
326
00:14:57,732 --> 00:15:01,331
I called this press conference to clear
the name of an innocent young mother.
327
00:15:01,405 --> 00:15:04,469
The only thing the police are
going to find on that shovel
328
00:15:04,545 --> 00:15:08,143
is soil from Ralph Walker's
award-winning roses.
329
00:15:08,987 --> 00:15:10,285
No DNA from Sierra Walker.
330
00:15:10,356 --> 00:15:11,688
Or hair.
Or tissue.
331
00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:14,959
Ashlee's prints are on it. As are
Ralph's and yours. And plain old dirt.
332
00:15:15,032 --> 00:15:16,057
So, nothing unusual.
333
00:15:16,135 --> 00:15:17,763
Hey. You guys find anything
on the Walker shovel?
334
00:15:17,837 --> 00:15:19,271
That's what
we're discussing now.
335
00:15:19,341 --> 00:15:22,005
Well, put an ASAP on that soil,
O'Halloran, and you're all good.
336
00:15:22,079 --> 00:15:25,143
I did that. Like I said, that's
what we're going over now.
337
00:15:25,218 --> 00:15:26,983
We're like one brain.
338
00:15:27,056 --> 00:15:30,587
The only thing unique is high
levels of polyaromatic hydrocarbons.
339
00:15:30,662 --> 00:15:32,564
Say again?
Polyaromatic hydrocarbons
340
00:15:32,634 --> 00:15:34,295
are a by-product
of petroleum.
341
00:15:34,370 --> 00:15:37,500
Levels this high, gas had to be
leaking straight into the ground.
342
00:15:37,576 --> 00:15:39,136
Like fuel from an
underground tank.
343
00:15:39,213 --> 00:15:41,547
You're thinking Sierra was buried
somewhere near a gas station?
344
00:15:41,617 --> 00:15:44,418
Yeah. Can you imagine? Going
to a gas station to fill up,
345
00:15:44,490 --> 00:15:46,857
buy some smokes, you know, not
that I smoke, because that's nasty,
346
00:15:46,928 --> 00:15:50,458
but, like, there's a mom there
burying her kid? I go, "Holy crap!"
347
00:15:50,534 --> 00:15:54,269
Hey, Dale. Be a real help and
bring these files next door.
348
00:15:54,342 --> 00:15:56,778
I'm on it. Hey.
Bing, bang, bong.
349
00:15:59,619 --> 00:16:01,281
Now you know
what I have to deal with.
350
00:16:01,355 --> 00:16:04,657
Right. So, a gas station, with
cars coming and going at all hours.
351
00:16:04,728 --> 00:16:07,667
I mean, it's too risky, even
for a kid as dumb as Ashlee.
352
00:16:07,734 --> 00:16:10,672
Maybe it was a station out
of business or even torn down.
353
00:16:10,740 --> 00:16:13,109
Ever since the '80s, every
gas station has had to register
354
00:16:13,178 --> 00:16:15,080
with the
Department of Energy.
355
00:16:15,150 --> 00:16:19,056
Each red dot represents a gas
station, operational or closed.
356
00:16:19,124 --> 00:16:22,061
Now, the blue circle in the
middle is the Walker House.
357
00:16:22,129 --> 00:16:24,862
It's going to take weeks to
investigate every one of those sites.
358
00:16:24,935 --> 00:16:27,634
But Ashlee may be a selfish
brat, but she's not a psychopath.
359
00:16:27,707 --> 00:16:30,041
She would have
been scared. So...
360
00:16:30,444 --> 00:16:34,818
She would want to bury Sierra
someplace familiar, where she felt safe.
361
00:16:42,235 --> 00:16:45,935
Ralph?
It's Detective Stabler.
362
00:16:48,448 --> 00:16:51,978
It's my little angel.
Happy as can be.
363
00:16:54,024 --> 00:16:56,257
She's beautiful.
364
00:16:56,330 --> 00:16:57,992
You know,
she never saw me drunk.
365
00:17:00,204 --> 00:17:02,537
Never saw me
slurring my words.
366
00:17:04,245 --> 00:17:08,685
When she was born,
it was like I was reborn.
367
00:17:10,958 --> 00:17:12,688
Ralph, that's why
you can't give up hope.
368
00:17:12,761 --> 00:17:16,826
Come on. We both know she's gone.
369
00:17:17,704 --> 00:17:20,573
Forever. And why?
370
00:17:21,411 --> 00:17:24,781
You tell me why does
things like that happen.
371
00:17:27,857 --> 00:17:30,054
You sure that's
a good idea?
372
00:17:30,729 --> 00:17:34,634
You know what? Ain't nobody
around to keep me on track anymore.
373
00:17:34,704 --> 00:17:36,674
She's gone, and I'm
back to being useless.
374
00:17:36,741 --> 00:17:40,237
You're not.
You're not useless, Ralph.
375
00:17:40,316 --> 00:17:42,445
Your granddaughter
needs her grandfather.
376
00:17:42,952 --> 00:17:45,584
How? I want you to look at this map.
377
00:17:45,659 --> 00:17:47,457
Are any of these
areas familiar?
378
00:17:47,529 --> 00:17:49,430
Places that Ashlee
might have hung out at?
379
00:17:49,498 --> 00:17:51,162
I don't know. I don't know if
I'm allowed to say anything.
380
00:17:51,235 --> 00:17:52,761
Ms. Devere says I
shouldn't even speak to you.
381
00:17:52,839 --> 00:17:56,335
Do you know what Ms. Devere's
job is? To win court cases.
382
00:17:56,413 --> 00:17:58,849
My job is to find Sierra,
no matter where she might be.
383
00:17:58,918 --> 00:18:01,754
Now, which one of us
do you want to help?
384
00:18:07,234 --> 00:18:08,361
I always told Ashlee,
385
00:18:08,436 --> 00:18:11,567
"Never drive drunk. No
matter what time of the night,
386
00:18:11,642 --> 00:18:13,874
"you call me,
I'll come get you. "
387
00:18:15,383 --> 00:18:16,977
I picked her up here
a bunch of times.
388
00:18:19,290 --> 00:18:21,055
She'd go there and hang
out with her friends
389
00:18:21,127 --> 00:18:24,190
and just drink and
nobody would bother them.
390
00:18:33,318 --> 00:18:34,444
Step lightly, boys.
391
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,457
We've got a deceased
buried in here somewhere.
392
00:18:36,525 --> 00:18:38,756
Stuckey.
Lower your voice.
393
00:18:39,495 --> 00:18:41,363
Those vultures are looking
for anything they can get.
394
00:18:41,434 --> 00:18:43,997
Yeah, I thought
you'd like the glory.
395
00:18:44,072 --> 00:18:47,670
Wait a minute.
You tipped off the press?
396
00:18:47,746 --> 00:18:49,146
Well, yeah.
397
00:18:49,917 --> 00:18:53,321
Well... I'm sorry. I was just
trying to make you guys look good.
398
00:18:53,390 --> 00:18:55,918
Don't worry, okay?
I'll find Sierra.
399
00:18:57,098 --> 00:18:59,727
We got something!
We got something!
400
00:18:59,802 --> 00:19:01,397
See?
What did I just tell you?
401
00:19:05,948 --> 00:19:07,975
Okay.
Stuckey. Be careful.
402
00:19:08,052 --> 00:19:10,852
Hey, hey. Do I tell you
guys how to do your job?
403
00:19:10,923 --> 00:19:12,484
Actually, yeah.
404
00:19:14,431 --> 00:19:16,868
Is that a doll?
I think that's a doll.
405
00:19:16,936 --> 00:19:18,667
Get out of the way.
406
00:19:38,077 --> 00:19:39,238
It's her.
407
00:19:39,313 --> 00:19:40,781
Oh! We got a body here!
408
00:19:40,849 --> 00:19:42,580
What's the matter with
you? Did you find her?
409
00:19:42,653 --> 00:19:43,952
Is it Sierra Walker?
410
00:19:44,022 --> 00:19:45,013
What is the
matter with you?
411
00:19:45,090 --> 00:19:46,353
I'm sorry. What's the matter with you?
412
00:19:46,426 --> 00:19:47,793
I'm sorry.
413
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,852
"Docket ending 2500.
The People v. Ashlee Walker. "
414
00:20:03,926 --> 00:20:07,958
One count credit card fraud.
One count second-degree theft.
415
00:20:08,035 --> 00:20:09,333
How does the
defendant plead?
416
00:20:09,405 --> 00:20:10,429
Not guilty, Your Honor.
417
00:20:10,507 --> 00:20:12,408
I'll hear
the people on bail.
418
00:20:12,476 --> 00:20:16,747
Uh... Ms. Cabot, are we keeping
you from some important business?
419
00:20:16,919 --> 00:20:17,909
I'm sorry, Your Honor.
420
00:20:17,988 --> 00:20:19,890
The People request remand. What?
421
00:20:19,958 --> 00:20:22,828
The defendant has established a
pattern of theft and obfuscation.
422
00:20:22,897 --> 00:20:24,365
We consider her
an extreme flight risk.
423
00:20:24,433 --> 00:20:26,460
Ms. Walker has
no criminal record.
424
00:20:26,537 --> 00:20:29,065
To keep her locked up over
these two charges is ridiculous.
425
00:20:29,143 --> 00:20:32,547
Uh... That sounds a little
extreme. Even for you, Ms. Cabot.
426
00:20:32,617 --> 00:20:34,279
And if you don't
put that phone down,
427
00:20:34,353 --> 00:20:35,822
I'm going to hold
you in contempt.
428
00:20:35,889 --> 00:20:39,385
Uh, I'm sorry, Your Honor. The People
are adding another charge to the docket.
429
00:20:39,463 --> 00:20:40,657
Murder in the Second Degree.
430
00:20:40,731 --> 00:20:43,795
Oh, for God's sake. You can't allow
a murder charge with no evidence,
431
00:20:43,871 --> 00:20:45,501
much less the
body of a victim.
432
00:20:45,575 --> 00:20:48,011
Ms. Cabot, what's going on here?
You seem to be off your game.
433
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,743
I apologize for the
distraction, Your Honor.
434
00:20:49,817 --> 00:20:53,882
My detectives have just unearthed the
body of the victim, Sierra Louise Walker.
435
00:20:53,957 --> 00:20:55,483
Sierra is dead?
436
00:20:55,561 --> 00:20:56,893
I'll allow the
additional charge.
437
00:20:56,963 --> 00:20:58,056
No!
Shh.
438
00:20:58,133 --> 00:20:59,624
How does the
defendant plead?
439
00:20:59,702 --> 00:21:02,139
Obviously, not guilty.
Bail?
440
00:21:02,206 --> 00:21:03,299
One million.
Fine.
441
00:21:03,376 --> 00:21:04,936
Given the defendant's
risk of flight,
442
00:21:05,013 --> 00:21:07,142
bail is set at
one million dollars.
443
00:21:07,217 --> 00:21:10,280
Five-minute recess.
444
00:21:10,356 --> 00:21:11,881
You're full of
surprises today.
445
00:21:12,126 --> 00:21:14,359
And you're full
of the usual.
446
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,597
It worked.
Just in the nick of time.
447
00:21:17,672 --> 00:21:21,474
I hate to rain on your parade,
but, we've got a problem.
448
00:21:21,544 --> 00:21:23,777
Sierra Walker's death
wasn't a homicide.
449
00:21:23,849 --> 00:21:25,911
She was just dug out
of a shallow grave.
450
00:21:25,986 --> 00:21:27,580
She didn't fall in there
playing hopscotch.
451
00:21:27,657 --> 00:21:30,787
Well, whoever put her in there
didn't kill her. Encephalitis did.
452
00:21:30,864 --> 00:21:32,126
Swelling of the brain?
453
00:21:32,198 --> 00:21:33,666
Brought
on by measles.
454
00:21:33,735 --> 00:21:37,196
Are you sure it's measles?
No signs of abuse or neglect?
455
00:21:37,275 --> 00:21:39,178
No bruises
or abrasions either.
456
00:21:39,247 --> 00:21:40,340
Her teeth weren't
in great shape,
457
00:21:40,414 --> 00:21:42,908
but mostly from a diet
high in sugars. That's it.
458
00:21:42,986 --> 00:21:46,653
But measles. How does that
happen in this day and age?
459
00:21:46,727 --> 00:21:48,663
She wasn't vaccinated.
460
00:21:53,407 --> 00:21:55,103
If Ashlee
makes a full confession,
461
00:21:55,177 --> 00:21:58,445
we will reduce the murder
charge to negligent homicide.
462
00:21:58,516 --> 00:22:02,422
What's wrong, Alex? Don't you have
enough evidence for the full monty?
463
00:22:02,491 --> 00:22:04,256
Will I have to
stay in jail?
464
00:22:04,328 --> 00:22:06,594
Not if you confess
to what you did.
465
00:22:09,003 --> 00:22:10,028
Where's the catch?
466
00:22:10,105 --> 00:22:13,078
Ashlee does 500 hours
of community service,
467
00:22:13,146 --> 00:22:17,176
weekly therapy, and she enrolls
in an alcohol treatment program.
468
00:22:18,655 --> 00:22:20,180
We'll take it.
469
00:22:22,931 --> 00:22:28,169
Last Thursday,
Sierra had a fever.
470
00:22:29,711 --> 00:22:35,485
And this terrible rash, too.
She wouldn't stop crying.
471
00:22:36,023 --> 00:22:40,088
And I just couldn't take it
anymore. It was all night long.
472
00:22:43,037 --> 00:22:48,240
So, I spanked her.
Then, she got quiet.
473
00:22:51,052 --> 00:22:54,456
I just went back to sleep, and
the next morning, when I woke up,
474
00:22:54,526 --> 00:22:56,552
she was just...
475
00:23:00,972 --> 00:23:02,634
She was cold.
476
00:23:05,347 --> 00:23:07,510
What happened next?
477
00:23:07,584 --> 00:23:08,710
She was dead.
478
00:23:10,090 --> 00:23:14,530
And I just panicked
and I buried her.
479
00:23:16,435 --> 00:23:17,802
If my mom
had've found out...
480
00:23:17,871 --> 00:23:20,433
You were only thinking
of yourself, Ashlee.
481
00:23:20,509 --> 00:23:22,103
You were afraid
you would be blamed.
482
00:23:22,180 --> 00:23:26,119
No. I killed her.
483
00:23:29,794 --> 00:23:31,228
Oh, my God.
484
00:23:32,900 --> 00:23:36,669
I must have hit her so
hard, I killed my baby.
485
00:23:38,745 --> 00:23:40,340
No, you didn't.
486
00:23:44,757 --> 00:23:46,522
I don't understand.
487
00:23:47,896 --> 00:23:52,360
Sierra died from measles. What?
488
00:23:52,438 --> 00:23:57,038
I'll expect your client to be at her
first therapy session tomorrow morning.
489
00:23:58,016 --> 00:23:59,574
She tricked me?
490
00:24:00,821 --> 00:24:03,622
For heaven's sake, Alex.
She could have walked.
491
00:24:03,693 --> 00:24:07,359
Yeah. But I'm giving her
the chance to grow up.
492
00:24:10,674 --> 00:24:13,440
I thought Devere was
going to blow a gasket.
493
00:24:13,512 --> 00:24:14,844
This case isn't closed.
494
00:24:14,915 --> 00:24:16,509
Yes, it is.
I just got a confession.
495
00:24:16,585 --> 00:24:19,352
She means we've got
a bigger problem. Measles.
496
00:24:19,424 --> 00:24:21,553
Two cases reported
in the last month.
497
00:24:21,628 --> 00:24:23,689
One before Sierra died
and one right after.
498
00:24:23,766 --> 00:24:26,067
Which means somebody's still
out there, spreading the virus.
499
00:24:26,138 --> 00:24:27,937
What's next?
The black plague?
500
00:24:28,007 --> 00:24:30,307
Incubation period
is 7 to 21 days.
501
00:24:30,379 --> 00:24:32,348
Which means somebody could
be infected, not know it,
502
00:24:32,416 --> 00:24:34,146
and still be
infecting other people.
503
00:24:34,219 --> 00:24:36,087
Most likely children
under 12 months old
504
00:24:36,157 --> 00:24:38,286
who are too young to receive
the measles vaccination.
505
00:24:38,361 --> 00:24:41,231
And if they're exposed, it's not a
matter of if but when they get sick.
506
00:24:41,300 --> 00:24:44,204
So, we've got to find out who that little
girl might have come into contact with.
507
00:24:44,272 --> 00:24:46,265
Well, after I rope-a-doped
that confession out of Ashlee,
508
00:24:46,344 --> 00:24:48,541
there is no way
she's going to help us out.
509
00:24:48,615 --> 00:24:50,744
Do we have any other
information on Patient Zero?
510
00:24:50,819 --> 00:24:53,688
The first case is a kid who
was visiting from Venezuela.
511
00:24:53,757 --> 00:24:54,782
She's already
gone back home,
512
00:24:54,859 --> 00:24:56,556
but we've
notified the consulate.
513
00:24:56,630 --> 00:24:59,500
Second case. Dennis Faber
from Watertown, New York.
514
00:24:59,569 --> 00:25:02,506
But there was no phone number on
the emergency room medical report.
515
00:25:02,576 --> 00:25:04,374
Maybe he doesn't
have a phone.
516
00:25:04,444 --> 00:25:06,346
Watertown has a large
Amish community.
517
00:25:09,955 --> 00:25:12,449
If you're here about the building
codes, I'm not changing anything.
518
00:25:12,527 --> 00:25:16,297
Actually, I'm here to speak to
Dennis Faber. Is he your son?
519
00:25:21,778 --> 00:25:26,311
Dennis? So many
problems with this boy.
520
00:25:27,489 --> 00:25:30,484
When I was a child,
we didn't have Rumspringa.
521
00:25:30,562 --> 00:25:33,466
And I can tell you there were
no policemen coming to our homes.
522
00:25:33,535 --> 00:25:35,266
The coming of age rite,
Rumspringa?
523
00:25:35,339 --> 00:25:37,707
We let our teenagers
go out into the world
524
00:25:37,776 --> 00:25:39,905
to decide if they want
to stay with our faith.
525
00:25:39,981 --> 00:25:42,248
They carouse,
smoke cigarettes,
526
00:25:42,318 --> 00:25:44,812
wear your kind of clothing,
listen to the devil's music.
527
00:25:44,890 --> 00:25:47,918
Well, I'm just here to talk to him about
a hospital visit he made in Manhattan
528
00:25:47,998 --> 00:25:50,057
two weeks ago. Two
weeks ago, he was here.
529
00:25:50,134 --> 00:25:53,903
Well, these photos were taken
two weeks ago at the hospital.
530
00:25:58,917 --> 00:26:00,910
Dennis?
531
00:26:00,989 --> 00:26:02,115
Yes, Father?
532
00:26:03,861 --> 00:26:08,495
This policeman says that you were
down in New York City two weeks ago.
533
00:26:08,569 --> 00:26:09,662
No, I wasn't.
534
00:26:09,738 --> 00:26:11,138
Can you explain this?
535
00:26:16,652 --> 00:26:18,245
I went to see a girl.
536
00:26:18,322 --> 00:26:20,292
After you had recommitted
to your new life?
537
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,022
There's this English girl,
Megan. I had to see her.
538
00:26:22,096 --> 00:26:24,532
You had to see
one of those harlots?
539
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,467
Is that why you went to the hospital?
540
00:26:26,538 --> 00:26:27,733
For a venereal disease?
541
00:26:27,807 --> 00:26:29,401
No. No.
It was just a rash.
542
00:26:29,477 --> 00:26:31,344
It's the measles.
543
00:26:31,414 --> 00:26:32,973
We don't vaccinate.
544
00:26:33,051 --> 00:26:35,043
There's a lot of
things we don't do.
545
00:26:35,656 --> 00:26:37,819
How long has this
been going on?
546
00:26:39,429 --> 00:26:40,658
A month.
547
00:26:41,367 --> 00:26:43,838
But we weren't doing anything. We
were just hanging out at the park.
548
00:26:43,904 --> 00:26:44,997
What park?
549
00:26:45,909 --> 00:26:48,175
Now, what? Just a few more questions.
550
00:26:48,246 --> 00:26:51,948
You notice any kids lately that
seemed sick? More than just a cold?
551
00:26:52,021 --> 00:26:55,117
A boy who came to Becca's birthday
party a few weeks ago upchucked.
552
00:26:55,194 --> 00:26:57,494
But that's because
he had too much cake.
553
00:26:57,565 --> 00:27:01,299
Wait. One of the no-shows
was supposedly sick.
554
00:27:01,372 --> 00:27:03,843
His mom was probably lying,
though. Why would she do that?
555
00:27:03,911 --> 00:27:06,404
Because of how much
money we wasted on her kid.
556
00:27:06,482 --> 00:27:09,113
Do you know how much Sparky
the Clown charges per head?
557
00:27:09,188 --> 00:27:11,556
No, I haven't kept up
with Sparky's rates.
558
00:27:11,627 --> 00:27:15,087
Well, it's a lot. Party favors,
hats, all sorts of stuff.
559
00:27:15,166 --> 00:27:18,765
This mom said her son, Lucas, would
absolutely be there. And then, they flaked.
560
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,775
You ever see her again? A week later.
561
00:27:20,843 --> 00:27:24,077
And she had this lame excuse about
her kid coming down with the measles.
562
00:27:24,150 --> 00:27:25,743
Who gets measles
nowadays?
563
00:27:25,820 --> 00:27:27,414
You know the mom's name?
564
00:27:27,490 --> 00:27:28,981
Monica Stewart?
565
00:27:30,329 --> 00:27:32,026
What?
Did my neighbors call you?
566
00:27:32,099 --> 00:27:33,499
Why would
they do that?
567
00:27:33,569 --> 00:27:36,473
Because they're upset at the
choices I've made for my family.
568
00:27:36,540 --> 00:27:38,511
Like not vaccinating
your son?
569
00:27:38,579 --> 00:27:41,516
I won't put my son at risk because
Big Pharma and their lackeys
570
00:27:41,584 --> 00:27:44,317
in the media try and jam
vaccination down our throats.
571
00:27:44,389 --> 00:27:46,325
Even if that
puts him at risk.
572
00:27:46,393 --> 00:27:47,588
What risk?
573
00:27:47,662 --> 00:27:49,291
He had measles
two weeks ago.
574
00:27:49,366 --> 00:27:52,395
And the immune system he was born
with kicked in and now, he's fine.
575
00:27:52,472 --> 00:27:56,845
Sierra Walker isn't fine. She's dead
after being infected by your son.
576
00:27:58,717 --> 00:28:01,848
What? What? That little
girl from the news?
577
00:28:01,923 --> 00:28:03,153
No. Her mother killed her.
578
00:28:03,226 --> 00:28:04,285
No. Measles did.
579
00:28:04,362 --> 00:28:06,594
Measles that she got
from your boy.
580
00:28:06,666 --> 00:28:09,661
No. I'm not responsible
for other people's kids.
581
00:28:09,739 --> 00:28:12,540
It's my family.
It's my choice.
582
00:28:12,610 --> 00:28:14,911
Go lecture someone else.
583
00:28:14,982 --> 00:28:17,247
Come on, sweetie.
Let's go inside.
584
00:28:17,855 --> 00:28:20,120
It's too cold out here.
Come on.
585
00:28:20,191 --> 00:28:23,358
That lady is a lunatic. What
she's doing is a danger to society.
586
00:28:23,431 --> 00:28:26,063
Yeah, but not illegal.
You're defending her?
587
00:28:26,138 --> 00:28:29,131
Maybe he's right, El. I mean, sometimes,
parents know what's best for their kids.
588
00:28:29,210 --> 00:28:31,442
Right. And we decided to vaccinate
our kids so they'd be safe.
589
00:28:31,515 --> 00:28:34,715
Well, that was your choice. Telling
parents how to raise their kids?
590
00:28:34,788 --> 00:28:38,090
That's a quick slide down the
slippery slope of government tyranny.
591
00:28:38,161 --> 00:28:41,133
Monica Stewart's son got the
measles and nothing happened to him.
592
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,896
I mean, it's not
so black and white.
593
00:28:42,970 --> 00:28:44,165
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
594
00:28:44,239 --> 00:28:46,641
Sierra got the measles
from Monica's son and died.
595
00:28:46,711 --> 00:28:50,014
Now, all of a sudden, my little boy's
at risk because of some nutcase mom?
596
00:28:50,084 --> 00:28:53,454
Well, she's not the only nutcase
mom. Ashlee takes that prize.
597
00:28:53,524 --> 00:28:55,049
But her kid was too
young to be immunized.
598
00:28:55,127 --> 00:28:57,154
Every child under a
year old is at risk.
599
00:28:57,231 --> 00:28:58,790
It's just stupid not to
vaccinate your children.
600
00:28:58,867 --> 00:29:02,705
You want stupid? Ashlee Walker
is suing the City of New York.
601
00:29:02,775 --> 00:29:04,369
Apparently,
we are responsible
602
00:29:04,445 --> 00:29:06,415
because she brought her
daughter to a city park to play.
603
00:29:06,483 --> 00:29:09,511
The lax safeguards of the New
York Park system allow people
604
00:29:09,588 --> 00:29:14,155
with deadly and communicable diseases to
mingle freely with the elderly and children.
605
00:29:14,230 --> 00:29:18,103
We are suing the city of New York
for a hundred million dollars,
606
00:29:18,171 --> 00:29:22,043
which pales in comparison to the
priceless young life which was taken
607
00:29:22,111 --> 00:29:26,485
by Monica Stewart and the
City. Is your child next?
608
00:29:27,256 --> 00:29:28,485
Well, look.
She's got no case.
609
00:29:28,558 --> 00:29:30,551
People get sick in
public places all the time.
610
00:29:30,629 --> 00:29:33,932
It's an election year. This story
is front page across the country.
611
00:29:34,003 --> 00:29:35,995
The phones are ringing off
the hook down at City Hall
612
00:29:36,074 --> 00:29:37,132
with people wanting
to know
613
00:29:37,209 --> 00:29:38,871
if it's safe to bring their
kids to the park.
614
00:29:38,946 --> 00:29:39,970
What are we going to do?
615
00:29:40,048 --> 00:29:42,986
Over a million children in this country
who are old enough to be vaccinated
616
00:29:43,053 --> 00:29:46,151
have not been immunized for measles.
We're sitting on a time bomb.
617
00:29:46,227 --> 00:29:50,098
The D.A. Wants the public to
feel safe. Arrest Monica Stewart.
618
00:29:53,574 --> 00:29:54,598
Now what?
619
00:29:54,677 --> 00:29:56,305
You're under arrest.
620
00:29:56,378 --> 00:29:57,711
You have the right
to remain silent.
621
00:29:57,782 --> 00:29:59,273
Wait. Arrested?
For what?
622
00:29:59,352 --> 00:30:01,322
The murder of Sierra Walker.
623
00:30:04,963 --> 00:30:08,767
This case boils down to
one simple word. Choice.
624
00:30:09,705 --> 00:30:12,802
Not whether a parent has the
choice to vaccinate their own child,
625
00:30:12,878 --> 00:30:17,343
but whether or not another parent
can make that choice for your child.
626
00:30:17,420 --> 00:30:22,020
This case isn't about her.
It's about you. And you.
627
00:30:22,096 --> 00:30:24,157
And all of the
people you love.
628
00:30:24,233 --> 00:30:26,430
Because any one of you could
have been in the park the day
629
00:30:26,505 --> 00:30:31,310
that Monica Stewart decided to bring
her un-immunized, sick child to play,
630
00:30:31,380 --> 00:30:34,614
thereby endangering
each and every one of you.
631
00:30:34,687 --> 00:30:39,493
And because of her choice, this
little girl is dead. Make no mistake.
632
00:30:40,199 --> 00:30:44,833
Sierra Walker would be alive today
were it not for Monica Stewart's choice.
633
00:30:49,884 --> 00:30:54,085
Ms. Cabot couldn't be
more right. Choice.
634
00:30:55,428 --> 00:31:00,199
We can choose how to pray,
where to live, what to eat,
635
00:31:00,771 --> 00:31:05,974
and whether or not
to immunize our children.
636
00:31:07,252 --> 00:31:10,520
Ladies and gentleman, the
obligation you have right now
637
00:31:10,591 --> 00:31:13,994
is to defend
your right to choose.
638
00:31:15,968 --> 00:31:19,099
Don't let her
take it away.
639
00:31:23,048 --> 00:31:26,715
Measles is one of the most
communicable diseases on the planet.
640
00:31:26,789 --> 00:31:31,287
It stays in the room for up to an hour
after the infected person has left.
641
00:31:31,364 --> 00:31:34,027
It's transmittable
from up to 200 yards away.
642
00:31:34,102 --> 00:31:36,231
I thought measles
had been eradicated.
643
00:31:36,307 --> 00:31:40,407
It was. But right now,
England has a measles epidemic
644
00:31:40,481 --> 00:31:44,445
because people are refusing to
immunize themselves and their children.
645
00:31:44,523 --> 00:31:47,927
And the last serious outbreak
here in the early '90s
646
00:31:47,996 --> 00:31:51,868
led to 123 deaths
in unvaccinated children.
647
00:31:51,937 --> 00:31:54,465
Why would people choose not
to vaccinate their children
648
00:31:54,543 --> 00:31:56,569
against something
so dangerous?
649
00:31:56,647 --> 00:32:00,050
The most common reasons
are for religious beliefs
650
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,491
or suspicion about the
science behind immunization.
651
00:32:03,561 --> 00:32:06,156
Is the science behind
immunization faulty?
652
00:32:06,231 --> 00:32:07,427
Absolutely not.
653
00:32:07,968 --> 00:32:12,034
Measles is totally preventable
with the MMR vaccine.
654
00:32:12,111 --> 00:32:14,513
Not being immunized
is irresponsible.
655
00:32:14,582 --> 00:32:16,984
Despite any side
effects from the vaccine.
656
00:32:17,053 --> 00:32:18,955
There is a minimal risk.
657
00:32:19,024 --> 00:32:23,362
But it's more dangerous to drive
a car than to take the MMR vaccine.
658
00:32:23,432 --> 00:32:28,306
Not being vaccinated can lead
to infection, sickness and death
659
00:32:28,375 --> 00:32:32,975
for un-immunized children and for babies
who are too young to receive the vaccine.
660
00:32:33,051 --> 00:32:36,285
Doctor, in your opinion, did Monica
Stewart risk the public's health
661
00:32:36,358 --> 00:32:38,953
by not having
her child vaccinated?
662
00:32:39,028 --> 00:32:40,623
In my opinion,
663
00:32:40,699 --> 00:32:44,229
Ms. Stewart's negligence caused
the death of Sierra Walker.
664
00:32:45,207 --> 00:32:46,802
Nothing further.
665
00:32:49,650 --> 00:32:51,209
Dr. Warner.
666
00:32:51,286 --> 00:32:55,955
Those side effects to the MMR
vaccine you mentioned. What are they?
667
00:32:56,029 --> 00:32:59,935
Deafness, seizures, coma,
permanent brain damage.
668
00:33:00,003 --> 00:33:02,530
But again,
these are very, very rare.
669
00:33:02,608 --> 00:33:06,012
So rare that the US
government has set up an agency
670
00:33:06,081 --> 00:33:09,247
to compensate victims
of these serious side effects.
671
00:33:09,321 --> 00:33:11,086
Am I correct?
Yes.
672
00:33:11,158 --> 00:33:14,062
The National Vaccine Injury
Compensation Program.
673
00:33:14,131 --> 00:33:18,469
And what is the most serious injury
that can occur with the MMR vaccine?
674
00:33:18,540 --> 00:33:20,509
I think you left it
off your list.
675
00:33:20,576 --> 00:33:21,805
Death.
676
00:33:21,879 --> 00:33:24,977
But the number is
miniscule. Possibly zero.
677
00:33:25,051 --> 00:33:27,750
I bet that's small comfort
to the parents of the children
678
00:33:27,825 --> 00:33:29,190
who die as a result
of those side effects.
679
00:33:29,261 --> 00:33:30,422
Objection.
680
00:33:30,495 --> 00:33:34,093
Withdrawn. Dr. Warner, are
there any laws in New York
681
00:33:34,169 --> 00:33:37,837
that can force a person to vaccinate
themselves or their children
682
00:33:37,911 --> 00:33:39,538
against measles
or other diseases?
683
00:33:39,613 --> 00:33:40,637
Yes.
684
00:33:40,716 --> 00:33:44,450
In order to enter school,
a child must be immunized,
685
00:33:44,522 --> 00:33:47,324
unless it goes against the
family's religious beliefs,
686
00:33:47,395 --> 00:33:49,423
or when the child
is being home schooled,
687
00:33:49,500 --> 00:33:51,332
in which case,
no one would know.
688
00:33:51,403 --> 00:33:55,810
Monica Stewart's child is four
years old and not yet in school.
689
00:33:55,879 --> 00:33:58,850
So, she isn't
breaking any laws.
690
00:34:00,355 --> 00:34:01,447
In fact, Doctor,
691
00:34:01,523 --> 00:34:05,053
isn't it true that unless a
quarantine is placed in effect,
692
00:34:05,129 --> 00:34:07,326
no person can be
forced to undergo
693
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,068
any medical treatment against
their spiritual beliefs?
694
00:34:13,144 --> 00:34:14,613
Yes.
695
00:34:14,682 --> 00:34:19,385
I read everything I could get my hands on.
Books, articles, journals, the Internet.
696
00:34:19,458 --> 00:34:22,429
In the end, I was just
uncomfortable with the side effects.
697
00:34:22,497 --> 00:34:24,763
So, you didn't just
wake up one day and say,
698
00:34:24,835 --> 00:34:26,998
"I'm not going to vaccinate
my son against measles. "
699
00:34:27,071 --> 00:34:31,206
You considered every option before
making the most educated decision.
700
00:34:31,281 --> 00:34:35,722
Yes. I love my child. That's
why I chose not to immunize him.
701
00:34:35,789 --> 00:34:39,320
And I believe with all my heart
God wouldn't want me to do this.
702
00:34:39,397 --> 00:34:40,763
Thank you.
703
00:34:43,238 --> 00:34:46,334
But you didn't think about how your
choice would affect other children.
704
00:34:46,410 --> 00:34:50,145
Sierra Walker isn't my child.
I can't make choices for her.
705
00:34:50,217 --> 00:34:53,883
But you did. You made a
choice, and now, she's dead.
706
00:34:53,958 --> 00:34:56,451
Your actions are directly
responsible for her death.
707
00:34:56,531 --> 00:34:58,660
If she hadn't contracted
measles, she would still be alive.
708
00:34:58,735 --> 00:35:00,033
Is there a question here,
Your Honor?
709
00:35:00,104 --> 00:35:02,471
Is there, Ms. Cabot?
710
00:35:03,142 --> 00:35:05,443
Ms. Stewart, what is
your medical degree in?
711
00:35:05,514 --> 00:35:06,607
I don't have one.
712
00:35:06,682 --> 00:35:09,677
But you were making medical
choices on behalf of your child.
713
00:35:09,756 --> 00:35:13,627
Just because I don't have a degree
doesn't mean I can't be an informed parent.
714
00:35:13,696 --> 00:35:16,566
You chose your informed opinion
over that of people who do,
715
00:35:16,635 --> 00:35:20,439
in fact, have a medical degree and
understand the science behind vaccinations
716
00:35:20,510 --> 00:35:23,310
and recommend that
all kids be vaccinated.
717
00:35:23,382 --> 00:35:25,181
I know what's
best for my child.
718
00:35:25,252 --> 00:35:26,744
Well, if you know what's best,
719
00:35:26,822 --> 00:35:28,415
and the doctors are
of a different opinion,
720
00:35:28,492 --> 00:35:31,897
then it stands to reason that they don't
have your child's best interest at heart.
721
00:35:31,965 --> 00:35:34,027
Their science is
just another opinion.
722
00:35:34,102 --> 00:35:36,402
Your opinion killed a
little girl. Your Honor.
723
00:35:36,474 --> 00:35:39,240
I'm just trying to show that if Ms.
Stewart had vaccinated her child,
724
00:35:39,312 --> 00:35:40,873
Sierra Walker would
be alive today.
725
00:35:40,949 --> 00:35:43,215
I'm not sure that's true. You're not?
726
00:35:43,287 --> 00:35:45,520
That woman was
a horrible mother.
727
00:35:45,592 --> 00:35:48,620
It was just a matter of time
until something tragic happened.
728
00:35:48,698 --> 00:35:50,257
You're the one on trial,
Ms. Stewart.
729
00:35:50,333 --> 00:35:51,359
Exactly.
730
00:35:51,436 --> 00:35:54,704
And how fair is that?
I'm the good mother.
731
00:35:54,776 --> 00:35:57,805
I make sure my child eats
well, is taken care of.
732
00:35:57,881 --> 00:36:00,479
She buried her daughter
in a shallow grave.
733
00:36:00,555 --> 00:36:03,857
Yes. She buried the
child that you murdered.
734
00:36:06,867 --> 00:36:08,802
You should have seen the
look on the jury's faces
735
00:36:08,870 --> 00:36:10,464
when she started
playing the blame game.
736
00:36:10,540 --> 00:36:12,942
I predict they come back before
noon with a guilty verdict.
737
00:36:13,011 --> 00:36:15,379
All right. Well. I'll
drink to that. Yep.
738
00:36:15,450 --> 00:36:16,816
Still think
she's innocent?
739
00:36:16,886 --> 00:36:19,288
I think Monica
has a point.
740
00:36:19,357 --> 00:36:21,555
Ashlee was a bad mother
who did everything wrong,
741
00:36:21,629 --> 00:36:23,621
while Monica was trying
to do everything right.
742
00:36:23,700 --> 00:36:25,897
Monica exposed innocent
children to a dangerous disease.
743
00:36:25,971 --> 00:36:28,669
She didn't know
that her kid was sick.
744
00:36:28,743 --> 00:36:30,541
He didn't have any symptoms
when she took him to the park.
745
00:36:30,614 --> 00:36:31,774
But that's the
problem with measles.
746
00:36:31,848 --> 00:36:33,511
That you're infectious
before you even get the spots.
747
00:36:33,584 --> 00:36:37,320
Now, Monica wants to take her kid and
live in a cabin in the middle of nowhere,
748
00:36:37,393 --> 00:36:38,418
fine.
749
00:36:38,495 --> 00:36:41,557
But the minute she walks out that door,
she's got to play by society's rules.
750
00:36:41,635 --> 00:36:44,937
Or somebody truly innocent
ends up paying the price.
751
00:36:49,415 --> 00:36:50,907
Has the jury
reached a verdict?
752
00:36:50,985 --> 00:36:52,284
We have, Your Honor.
753
00:36:52,355 --> 00:36:55,452
On the sole count of the indictment,
Criminal Negligent Homicide,
754
00:36:55,529 --> 00:36:57,828
how do you find
the defendant?
755
00:37:00,504 --> 00:37:02,133
Not Guilty.
756
00:37:02,207 --> 00:37:04,700
No. No, this...
This is crazy!
757
00:37:04,779 --> 00:37:07,842
That bitch is guilty!
Court Officer.
758
00:37:08,018 --> 00:37:10,819
Let go of me! How many more
kids are you gonna kill?
759
00:37:10,891 --> 00:37:13,020
She's the only
guilty person in here!
760
00:37:13,096 --> 00:37:14,723
Mom! Don't point that
finger at my daughter!
761
00:37:14,798 --> 00:37:15,788
Let go of me!
Ma'am.
762
00:37:15,866 --> 00:37:17,995
Stop. It's her fault
that Sierra is dead.
763
00:37:18,072 --> 00:37:20,566
You won the case.
764
00:37:20,644 --> 00:37:21,906
Ashlee.
765
00:37:36,708 --> 00:37:39,110
Ashlee,
it's Detective Benson.
766
00:37:39,179 --> 00:37:40,647
Leave me alone.
767
00:37:42,586 --> 00:37:45,022
Ashlee, come on.
Come out.
768
00:37:47,562 --> 00:37:50,660
You've got to know that
I loved my little girl.
769
00:37:51,069 --> 00:37:52,902
I know.
770
00:37:54,409 --> 00:37:56,380
Ashlee?
Are you all right?
771
00:37:57,915 --> 00:38:00,011
Dad.
772
00:38:00,487 --> 00:38:01,820
Baby. Baby.
773
00:38:04,094 --> 00:38:06,930
How could I have
been so selfish?
774
00:38:09,672 --> 00:38:11,699
All I cared about
was having fun.
775
00:38:11,776 --> 00:38:14,838
I know. I know. I was the
same way when I was young.
776
00:38:14,916 --> 00:38:17,409
But I'm here for
you now. Okay?
777
00:38:17,487 --> 00:38:20,253
You can make it
up to Sierra
778
00:38:20,326 --> 00:38:24,528
by being the best woman that
you can be from here on out.
779
00:38:24,601 --> 00:38:25,626
No.
780
00:38:25,703 --> 00:38:27,296
Listen to your father.
781
00:38:32,951 --> 00:38:35,478
I'm so sorry for how things turned out.
782
00:38:35,555 --> 00:38:40,827
Please. This is not over.
It will never be over.
783
00:38:40,899 --> 00:38:42,026
Ruth. Calm down.
784
00:38:42,102 --> 00:38:43,798
Don't tell me what to do.
785
00:38:44,205 --> 00:38:47,201
Just because you don't have the
balls to fight doesn't mean that
786
00:38:47,278 --> 00:38:51,481
I'm going to let that bitch get
away with killing my granddaughter.
787
00:38:55,327 --> 00:38:56,990
Let's go. Come on.
788
00:39:03,610 --> 00:39:06,011
I've got to say.
This one hurt.
789
00:39:07,217 --> 00:39:09,414
Look, it wasn't even your case.
It was a personality contest.
790
00:39:09,488 --> 00:39:11,982
The jury liked the defendant
more than they liked the victim.
791
00:39:12,060 --> 00:39:14,553
Tell me about it. I talked
to them after the verdict.
792
00:39:14,632 --> 00:39:16,658
They all thought Monica should
have vaccinated her child,
793
00:39:16,735 --> 00:39:19,001
but they did not think
Sierra's death was her fault.
794
00:39:19,073 --> 00:39:20,132
They passed the buck.
795
00:39:20,209 --> 00:39:22,737
It's a tragedy all around.
Both mothers' lives are ruined.
796
00:39:22,814 --> 00:39:23,976
Thanks to Ruth.
797
00:39:24,050 --> 00:39:27,284
She screwed up Ashlee, and now, she's
filed a civil suit against Monica.
798
00:39:27,356 --> 00:39:29,384
She's doing everything
but support her daughter.
799
00:39:29,460 --> 00:39:32,330
Yeah. Ruth will get around to bonding
with Ashlee. Over a case of beer.
800
00:39:33,569 --> 00:39:36,837
Benson.
We're on our way.
801
00:39:37,711 --> 00:39:41,740
Ashlee and Ruth aren't waiting for
their next court date to get justice.
802
00:39:43,554 --> 00:39:44,613
What's going on?
803
00:39:44,690 --> 00:39:47,594
Well, they threw a brick through
the window. Lady inside called 911.
804
00:39:47,663 --> 00:39:49,461
Was anybody hurt?
Just shaken up.
805
00:39:49,532 --> 00:39:53,028
Yeah, she's just hiding inside
like the cowardly bitch she is!
806
00:39:53,107 --> 00:39:54,769
I thought you said you
didn't blame her anymore.
807
00:39:54,843 --> 00:39:56,574
My mom set me
straight. Okay?
808
00:39:56,647 --> 00:39:58,013
If the courts aren't
going to do what's right,
809
00:39:58,082 --> 00:39:59,141
then we're going to
do it ourselves.
810
00:39:59,218 --> 00:40:01,850
Come on out and get
your beating, you skank!
811
00:40:01,924 --> 00:40:03,552
The both of you, you
just don't get it, do you?
812
00:40:03,627 --> 00:40:05,062
She killed my grandbaby.
813
00:40:05,130 --> 00:40:06,291
And you're destroying
your own daughter's life.
814
00:40:06,365 --> 00:40:07,390
An eye for an eye.
815
00:40:07,467 --> 00:40:10,497
Ruth, let it go before you
do something you'll regret.
816
00:40:10,875 --> 00:40:13,471
Go on, Ralph! Teach her a lesson! No!
817
00:40:13,546 --> 00:40:15,208
Ralph! No!
818
00:40:22,063 --> 00:40:24,158
Get a bus!
819
00:40:25,369 --> 00:40:26,497
Monica?
820
00:40:30,179 --> 00:40:32,148
Are you shot?
821
00:40:32,216 --> 00:40:34,083
He pointed the gun at me.
822
00:40:34,153 --> 00:40:38,560
I begged him not to shoot. He said,
"Now, you've killed two people. "
823
00:40:39,897 --> 00:40:42,835
Then, he put the gun
in his mouth and fired.
