1
00:00:03,044 --> 00:00:05,338
In New York City's war on crime

2
00:00:05,380 --> 00:00:07,632
the worst criminal offenders
are pursued

3
00:00:07,674 --> 00:00:09,843
by the detectives
of the Major Case Squad.

4
00:00:09,884 --> 00:00:12,554
These are their stories.

5
00:00:14,264 --> 00:00:16,433
WOMAN:
So, what did you do
this week for fun?

6
00:00:16,474 --> 00:00:18,184
Did you know that the word "fun"

7
00:00:18,226 --> 00:00:20,186
can be found
in over 14 languages

8
00:00:20,228 --> 00:00:22,105
and its meaning changes
every time?

9
00:00:22,147 --> 00:00:24,566
I was thinking about good,
old American fun.

10
00:00:26,109 --> 00:00:28,528
What's fun for me
isn't always fun for my dad.

11
00:00:28,570 --> 00:00:31,156
You mean like what
we did Saturday?

12
00:00:31,197 --> 00:00:32,699
Robbie, I'm sure
at this school

13
00:00:32,741 --> 00:00:35,744
you'll be able to do more
of the things you like to do.

14
00:00:35,785 --> 00:00:37,245
Here's your father.

15
00:00:40,415 --> 00:00:43,376
Uh, Kim, the stuff we
talked about today, um...

16
00:00:43,418 --> 00:00:45,545
I'd like to be the one
to tell him, okay?

17
00:00:47,297 --> 00:00:48,840
Sorry I'm late.

18
00:00:50,884 --> 00:00:51,843
How'd it go?

19
00:00:51,885 --> 00:00:52,844
We had a good talk.

20
00:00:52,886 --> 00:00:54,095
Will you be there tomorrow?

21
00:00:54,137 --> 00:00:56,639
Probably not. Good luck.

22
00:00:56,681 --> 00:00:58,224
Thank you.

23
00:01:01,478 --> 00:01:04,564
(cell phone ringing)

24
00:01:04,606 --> 00:01:05,732
Hello?

25
00:01:05,774 --> 00:01:06,566
MAN:
Hi, Kim?

26
00:01:06,608 --> 00:01:07,817
Oh, hi.

27
00:01:07,859 --> 00:01:09,652
Listen, I just got out
of a press conference.

28
00:01:09,694 --> 00:01:11,863
Got a message
Jim Hardy canceled tonight

29
00:01:11,905 --> 00:01:13,907
so here I am with nobody
to eat dinner with.

30
00:01:13,948 --> 00:01:16,201
What about your wife?
Doesn't she eat?

31
00:01:16,242 --> 00:01:17,619
I thought you social workers

32
00:01:17,660 --> 00:01:19,371
were morally ambivalent
about marriage.

33
00:01:19,412 --> 00:01:20,789
Not this social worker.

34
00:01:20,830 --> 00:01:21,998
But if you just
want to talk about

35
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,250
budget cuts in my department,
that'd be fine.

36
00:01:24,292 --> 00:01:25,460
Fair enough.

37
00:01:25,502 --> 00:01:26,711
I'll pick you up from work.

38
00:01:26,753 --> 00:01:27,921
Watch the news tonight.

39
00:01:27,962 --> 00:01:29,506
They promised me 15 seconds.

40
00:01:32,926 --> 00:01:34,552
There are two kids,
age four and six

41
00:01:34,594 --> 00:01:36,888
and two adults--
meth-heads. Let's go.

42
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:39,140
(shouting)

43
00:01:39,182 --> 00:01:40,809
MAN:
Get your hands
off of me!

44
00:01:40,850 --> 00:01:43,478
WOMAN:
Don't hurt my babies.

45
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,437
Please,
bring them back.

46
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:45,647
You bitch!

47
00:01:45,689 --> 00:01:46,898
Give them back to me!

48
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:48,525
Timmy!
Timmy!

49
00:01:48,566 --> 00:01:50,485
Fight back, man!
Bite her on the hand!

50
00:01:50,527 --> 00:01:51,778
You'll get them back

51
00:01:51,820 --> 00:01:53,822
when you can take care of them.

52
00:01:53,863 --> 00:01:56,366
Mommy and daddy
love you!

53
00:01:58,493 --> 00:02:00,787
MAN ON TV:
Of course not, one of
the mayor's pet projects.

54
00:02:00,829 --> 00:02:03,790
WOMAN ON TV:
Will cutbacks mean more potholes
and bigger piles of garbage?

55
00:02:03,832 --> 00:02:06,418
MAN:
Next you're going to ask me
when I stopped beating my wife.

56
00:02:06,459 --> 00:02:07,961
Look, it's up to

57
00:02:08,003 --> 00:02:09,963
the maintenance crews
and sanitation workers.

58
00:02:10,005 --> 00:02:12,465
Everyone is going to have
to work harder for less money.

59
00:02:12,507 --> 00:02:14,634
The mayor's in conference
with his workers right now.

60
00:02:14,676 --> 00:02:16,636
We're planning on having
a meeting very soon.

61
00:02:16,678 --> 00:02:19,681
Bet you've never seen the inside
of a deputy mayor's apartment.

62
00:02:19,723 --> 00:02:21,766
It's got a sterile efficiency
some women find irresistible.

63
00:02:21,808 --> 00:02:22,767
Bill...

64
00:02:22,809 --> 00:02:24,310
Okay, okay.

65
00:02:24,352 --> 00:02:25,812
Just in case you
weren't paying attention

66
00:02:25,854 --> 00:02:27,647
when I was talking about
our budget problems

67
00:02:27,689 --> 00:02:28,773
I'll send you a memo.

68
00:02:28,815 --> 00:02:30,567
Don't worry,
it's all in here.

69
00:02:30,608 --> 00:02:32,652
But wait, if you won't
sleep with me

70
00:02:32,694 --> 00:02:33,987
can you buy me a paper?

71
00:02:34,029 --> 00:02:35,739
Somebody might recognize me
if I get out of the car.

72
00:02:35,780 --> 00:02:37,198
I just want to see

73
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,950
what they have on
the press conference.

74
00:02:38,992 --> 00:02:41,619
Let this be my
farewell gift to you.

75
00:02:46,041 --> 00:02:47,834
ANNOUNCER:
Red Sox are holding on to...

76
00:02:47,876 --> 00:02:49,461
(phone ringing)

77
00:02:49,502 --> 00:02:51,463
Hello?

78
00:02:51,504 --> 00:02:52,881
Hi, baby.

79
00:02:52,922 --> 00:02:54,841
I just got out
of the restaurant.

80
00:02:54,883 --> 00:02:56,676
Saying good-bye to Jim Hardy.

81
00:02:56,718 --> 00:02:58,219
I'll call you right back.

82
00:03:01,723 --> 00:03:03,850
That wasn't so bad, was it?

83
00:03:03,892 --> 00:03:04,809
Mm-hmm.

84
00:03:04,851 --> 00:03:05,727
(screaming)

85
00:03:05,769 --> 00:03:07,020
Hey!
Get away from her!

86
00:03:07,062 --> 00:03:08,688
Leave her alone!

87
00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:10,565
Help! Help, we're being mugged!
(horn honking)

88
00:03:11,399 --> 00:03:13,777
(gunshot)

89
00:04:01,741 --> 00:04:02,784
What we got is

90
00:04:02,826 --> 00:04:03,952
everybody heard the gunshot

91
00:04:03,993 --> 00:04:05,578
but nobody saw anything.

92
00:04:05,620 --> 00:04:07,539
Any idea what Webster
was doing here?

93
00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:09,624
Mrs. Webster said she
talked to him on his cell phone

94
00:04:09,666 --> 00:04:10,750
just before he got killed.

95
00:04:10,792 --> 00:04:12,711
He told her he was just
finishing dinner

96
00:04:12,752 --> 00:04:14,587
with Jim Hardy from
the Sanitation Workers' Union.

97
00:04:14,629 --> 00:04:15,922
What does Mr. Hardy say?

98
00:04:15,964 --> 00:04:17,424
Well, he told us he canceled

99
00:04:17,465 --> 00:04:19,426
his dinner with Mr. Webster
that afternoon

100
00:04:19,467 --> 00:04:22,512
and spent the evening
at home with Mrs. Hardy.

101
00:04:27,517 --> 00:04:30,937
Looks like Webster had
a passenger, sat close to him.

102
00:04:30,979 --> 00:04:33,064
Wore a purple
cashmere sweater.

103
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:36,067
Tight-fitting size two
with a plunging neckline.

104
00:04:36,109 --> 00:04:38,486
Mm, that I can't tell
from this.

105
00:04:38,528 --> 00:04:40,822
I can tell from the bull
he was feeding his wife.

106
00:04:43,450 --> 00:04:45,535
The window was rolled down.

107
00:04:45,577 --> 00:04:48,788
He was reaching over
when he was shot.

108
00:04:48,830 --> 00:04:51,041
Maybe reaching for this.

109
00:05:01,051 --> 00:05:03,511
He had someone get him a paper?

110
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,016
Maybe we can find partial
prints on the quarters.

111
00:05:11,686 --> 00:05:12,771
No quarters.

112
00:05:12,812 --> 00:05:15,106
None in here.

113
00:05:15,148 --> 00:05:17,359
Same story here.

114
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,570
We must be in a low-readership
neighborhood.

115
00:05:31,581 --> 00:05:32,874
Quarters.

116
00:05:36,795 --> 00:05:39,089
Two that got away.

117
00:05:41,841 --> 00:05:45,053
Hey! Hey, how you doing?

118
00:05:45,095 --> 00:05:46,721
Hey, let me give you
a hand.

119
00:05:46,763 --> 00:05:48,014
Ready, one, two, three up.

120
00:05:48,056 --> 00:05:51,643
Yup, there they are,
look at that.

121
00:05:51,685 --> 00:05:54,020
It's a gold mine.

122
00:05:54,062 --> 00:05:55,772
Hey, you know what,
I have two quarters

123
00:05:55,814 --> 00:05:57,899
that you missed from
the boxes on 12th street.

124
00:05:57,941 --> 00:06:00,485
We're going to owe
theLedgersome money.

125
00:06:00,527 --> 00:06:02,404
You were on
12th street last night.

126
00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:05,532
Who said that?

127
00:06:05,573 --> 00:06:08,076
Well, they're your boxes,
on 12th street.

128
00:06:08,118 --> 00:06:10,078
Your boxes, your quarters.

129
00:06:12,497 --> 00:06:14,708
Yeah.

130
00:06:14,749 --> 00:06:17,419
Did you see anybody buy
a paper from those boxes?

131
00:06:19,546 --> 00:06:22,966
Yeah, a woman...
in a, in a black car.

132
00:06:23,008 --> 00:06:25,593
She had a fuzzy sweater.

133
00:06:25,635 --> 00:06:28,013
We'll need you to help us
make a picture of this lady.

134
00:06:28,054 --> 00:06:29,556
You stay put.

135
00:06:29,597 --> 00:06:30,974
We'll get somebody
to take you to our office.

136
00:06:34,686 --> 00:06:36,229
Webster had a woman
in the car with him.

137
00:06:36,271 --> 00:06:37,897
She bought him a newspaper
and disappeared.

138
00:06:37,939 --> 00:06:39,774
We'll say she's a potential
witness and leave it at that.

139
00:06:39,816 --> 00:06:41,234
What else?

140
00:06:41,276 --> 00:06:43,153
Webster had enemies--
city workers, union leaders...

141
00:06:43,194 --> 00:06:45,030
We're checking everybody's
whereabouts last night.

142
00:06:45,071 --> 00:06:46,573
Anybody asks--

143
00:06:46,614 --> 00:06:48,700
we're treating this
as ordinary street crime.

144
00:06:48,742 --> 00:06:50,910
This is Webster's cell phone
records for yesterday.

145
00:06:50,952 --> 00:06:53,955
He called the Administration for
Child Services, mid-afternoon.

146
00:06:53,997 --> 00:06:56,791
The witness might work in
the city's social services.

147
00:06:58,752 --> 00:06:59,836
Yes, hello.

148
00:06:59,878 --> 00:07:02,005
Beg your pardon?

149
00:07:02,047 --> 00:07:03,840
Oh, right,
her private line.

150
00:07:03,882 --> 00:07:06,468
Is Ms. Stevens in?

151
00:07:08,636 --> 00:07:10,263
When?

152
00:07:10,305 --> 00:07:12,640
No, that's all right.

153
00:07:12,682 --> 00:07:14,601
Thank you very much.

154
00:07:14,642 --> 00:07:16,227
Found her.

155
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:18,980
We ID'd her
off her prints.

156
00:07:19,022 --> 00:07:20,815
City has them on file.

157
00:07:20,857 --> 00:07:22,150
Manual strangulation.

158
00:07:22,192 --> 00:07:24,694
Mm-hmm, but the ME thinks
she was knocked out first.

159
00:07:24,736 --> 00:07:26,905
Do you have her clothes?

160
00:07:36,873 --> 00:07:38,667
Cashmere.

161
00:07:41,294 --> 00:07:44,047
What year was Webster's car?

162
00:07:44,089 --> 00:07:45,131
'99.

163
00:07:45,173 --> 00:07:46,883
New car smell.

164
00:07:46,925 --> 00:07:48,718
Make sure you mention that
to the lab.

165
00:07:51,054 --> 00:07:52,138
Any purse?

166
00:07:52,180 --> 00:07:53,264
No.

167
00:07:53,306 --> 00:07:54,599
She was found uptown?

168
00:07:54,641 --> 00:07:56,559
Wrapped in a blanket.

169
00:07:56,601 --> 00:07:59,604
In a shopping cart under
the FDR at, uh

170
00:07:59,646 --> 00:08:00,772
136th street.

171
00:08:00,814 --> 00:08:02,899
Rumor has it you have
a suspect in custody.

172
00:08:02,941 --> 00:08:05,527
Yeah.

173
00:08:05,568 --> 00:08:07,529
Wasn't me, man!
I'm just the wrong guy

174
00:08:07,570 --> 00:08:08,780
in the wrong place
at the wrong time!

175
00:08:08,822 --> 00:08:10,073
People saw you when
she took your kids.

176
00:08:10,115 --> 00:08:11,574
You were angry.

177
00:08:11,616 --> 00:08:13,284
You were angry when you
went down to the ACS

178
00:08:13,326 --> 00:08:15,662
angry when you jumped her
outside her apartment

179
00:08:15,704 --> 00:08:17,831
angry when you strangled her
and drove off with her body.

180
00:08:17,872 --> 00:08:18,998
Okay. You know what?
Okay.

181
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,542
What difference does it make?

182
00:08:20,583 --> 00:08:21,668
You want to think I did it?

183
00:08:21,710 --> 00:08:23,086
Fine, go ahead, I don't care.

184
00:08:23,128 --> 00:08:24,546
What difference does it make?

185
00:08:24,587 --> 00:08:26,047
Adolph.

186
00:08:28,383 --> 00:08:30,260
When's the last time you
had something to eat?

187
00:08:30,301 --> 00:08:31,720
I only eat candy.

188
00:08:35,807 --> 00:08:38,101
Want to tell us what
you did last night?

189
00:08:38,143 --> 00:08:41,730
Well, me and Joanie were upset
'cause, you know

190
00:08:41,771 --> 00:08:43,064
we missed the kids.

191
00:08:43,106 --> 00:08:45,900
So we scored,
you know

192
00:08:45,942 --> 00:08:48,236
and just chilled out
watching TV.

193
00:08:49,738 --> 00:08:51,156
Here.

194
00:08:51,197 --> 00:08:55,285
It's easier when your
fingernails are not so short.

195
00:08:55,326 --> 00:08:56,911
Yeah?

196
00:08:56,953 --> 00:09:00,999
You usually keep
your pinkie nails long?

197
00:09:01,041 --> 00:09:02,834
Yeah.

198
00:09:02,876 --> 00:09:05,628
That's for your ears, right?

199
00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:07,797
I got this condition.

200
00:09:07,839 --> 00:09:10,884
Oily ears--
it's like I got bugs in there.

201
00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:16,014
Well, why are your fingernails
cut so short now?

202
00:09:16,056 --> 00:09:17,766
The other guys did it.

203
00:09:17,807 --> 00:09:19,392
The other cops, they did it.

204
00:09:19,434 --> 00:09:21,644
They cut it for...
they said it's for evidence.

205
00:09:28,943 --> 00:09:31,112
I smell
square one up ahead.

206
00:09:31,154 --> 00:09:33,156
Kulik's long pinkie nails
would have left deep marks

207
00:09:33,198 --> 00:09:35,116
on the girl's neck
if he'd strangled her.

208
00:09:35,158 --> 00:09:37,243
These marks were made by someone
with neat-clipped nails.

209
00:09:37,285 --> 00:09:39,662
Somebody who knew Stevens
had a history with Kulik

210
00:09:39,704 --> 00:09:40,914
and tried
to frame him.

211
00:09:40,955 --> 00:09:43,667
I'll go break the bad news
to the boys upstairs.

212
00:09:43,708 --> 00:09:45,085
GOREN:
There is
good news.

213
00:09:45,126 --> 00:09:46,878
Since her body was
moved it shows that

214
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,963
the deputy mayor
wasn't the primary target.

215
00:09:55,095 --> 00:09:57,931
EAMES:
Any other parents threaten her?

216
00:09:57,972 --> 00:10:02,811
No, she had an excellent track
record of reuniting families.

217
00:10:02,852 --> 00:10:04,104
She has
notations in here.

218
00:10:04,145 --> 00:10:06,856
"Subject looks forward to
intellectual challenges.

219
00:10:06,898 --> 00:10:09,109
"Emotional maturity
beyond his years.

220
00:10:09,150 --> 00:10:10,944
"Sheltered home life...

221
00:10:10,985 --> 00:10:13,321
unsuited
for college environment."

222
00:10:13,363 --> 00:10:16,991
It reads like evaluations
for college admissions.

223
00:10:17,033 --> 00:10:20,912
If she was doing anything like
that, it was on her own time.

224
00:10:20,954 --> 00:10:23,289
Any names to go with the notes?

225
00:10:23,331 --> 00:10:28,712
No, just... serial numbers.

226
00:10:28,753 --> 00:10:31,965
"Subject interacts well
with college-age adults.

227
00:10:32,007 --> 00:10:33,800
"Subject has practical concerns.

228
00:10:33,842 --> 00:10:35,844
"He worries...

229
00:10:35,885 --> 00:10:41,391
He worries that he's too short
to use bathroom facilities."

230
00:10:43,184 --> 00:10:45,020
These subjects
are little kids.

231
00:10:45,061 --> 00:10:47,272
Little kids being considered
for college admissions.

232
00:10:49,315 --> 00:10:51,484
Geniuses.

233
00:10:51,526 --> 00:10:54,487
There can't be
that many places in town

234
00:10:54,529 --> 00:10:56,781
that give mortarboards
to baby Einsteins.

235
00:11:05,999 --> 00:11:09,044
Robbie, I need to speak with
your father for a moment.

236
00:11:12,839 --> 00:11:15,508
I just had some shocking
news about Ms. Stevens

237
00:11:15,550 --> 00:11:17,344
which has forced us
to adjust

238
00:11:17,385 --> 00:11:19,721
our normal admissions
procedures.

239
00:11:19,763 --> 00:11:22,891
Based on Robbie's tests
and everything

240
00:11:22,932 --> 00:11:25,310
we would like to offer him
a place at the school.

241
00:11:25,352 --> 00:11:26,144
Congratulations.

242
00:11:28,229 --> 00:11:30,231
You've been accepted.

243
00:11:30,273 --> 00:11:31,316
I have?

244
00:11:31,358 --> 00:11:33,485
You made it, Robbie.
You did it!

245
00:11:42,410 --> 00:11:44,371
WOMAN:
Since our students
are much younger

246
00:11:44,412 --> 00:11:46,873
than the college kids they'll be
attending classes with

247
00:11:46,915 --> 00:11:49,209
the university requires
that we make sure

248
00:11:49,250 --> 00:11:51,086
that they're emotionally
equipped to handle

249
00:11:51,127 --> 00:11:53,797
the social
and academic pressures.

250
00:11:53,838 --> 00:11:56,841
EAMES: Why hire a city
social worker to
do the evaluations?

251
00:11:56,883 --> 00:11:58,218
Well, Kim volunteered.

252
00:11:58,259 --> 00:12:00,470
She was an alumnus
of Metcalf University

253
00:12:00,512 --> 00:12:03,098
with degrees in social work
and psychology.

254
00:12:03,139 --> 00:12:05,392
How many children
are up for admission?

255
00:12:05,433 --> 00:12:09,437
Eight, for six openings
for the summer semester.

256
00:12:09,479 --> 00:12:12,357
Had Ms. Stevens turned in
her evaluation on them?

257
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:14,067
No, she was going to on Thursday

258
00:12:14,109 --> 00:12:15,985
when we made
our final selection.

259
00:12:16,027 --> 00:12:19,406
Last Thursday, the day
after she was killed.

260
00:12:19,447 --> 00:12:21,157
How did you choose
the winners

261
00:12:21,199 --> 00:12:22,909
without Ms. Stevens'
evaluations?

262
00:12:22,951 --> 00:12:25,578
WOMAN:
We relied solely
on the other criteria--

263
00:12:25,620 --> 00:12:29,249
IQ scores, SATs...

264
00:12:29,290 --> 00:12:31,584
Please, you're going
to disturb the children.

265
00:12:31,626 --> 00:12:33,420
Are they working on
that problem on the board?

266
00:12:33,461 --> 00:12:34,879
Yes. This is

267
00:12:34,921 --> 00:12:36,506
a special
math tutorial.

268
00:12:36,548 --> 00:12:38,466
Really?

269
00:12:38,508 --> 00:12:41,261
These little kids are
going to solve that?

270
00:12:41,302 --> 00:12:43,221
These are profoundly
gifted children.

271
00:12:43,263 --> 00:12:45,598
You'll have to forgive
my partner, Dr. Leonard.

272
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,475
He's feeling very
humble right now.

273
00:12:47,517 --> 00:12:50,437
Uh, the competition
to get into your program

274
00:12:50,478 --> 00:12:52,605
must be fierce.

275
00:12:52,647 --> 00:12:54,274
I hope you're
not suggesting that...

276
00:12:54,315 --> 00:12:55,567
We are.

277
00:12:55,608 --> 00:12:58,445
Of the six kids
that you admitted

278
00:12:58,486 --> 00:13:00,113
how many of them
are on the bubble

279
00:13:00,155 --> 00:13:02,574
as far as Ms. Stevens'
evaluations are concerned?

280
00:13:02,615 --> 00:13:06,494
Well, as I told you, we never
got her final evaluations.

281
00:13:06,536 --> 00:13:11,958
But there was one student I
thought might have been...

282
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,128
as you say, "on the bubble."

283
00:13:17,380 --> 00:13:20,467
We thought Dr. Leonard's program
would help Charlie

284
00:13:20,508 --> 00:13:22,302
refocus his goals

285
00:13:22,344 --> 00:13:24,346
but it became apparent
after a few days...

286
00:13:24,387 --> 00:13:26,514
That Charlie's goals
didn't need refocusing.

287
00:13:26,556 --> 00:13:29,017
Charlie doesn't have to be
a math genius, you know?

288
00:13:29,059 --> 00:13:30,477
He can be a musical prodigy.

289
00:13:30,518 --> 00:13:32,896
Not to mention, you think
the math chicks look

290
00:13:32,937 --> 00:13:34,314
anything like Jennifer Connelly?

291
00:13:34,356 --> 00:13:35,607
No way, hombre.

292
00:13:35,648 --> 00:13:38,568
Besides, hot babes
go for musicians.

293
00:13:38,610 --> 00:13:40,236
You see the problem?

294
00:13:40,278 --> 00:13:41,571
Music is my life, Mom.

295
00:13:41,613 --> 00:13:43,865
Did Ms. Stevens give you
any hint

296
00:13:43,907 --> 00:13:47,035
that there might be a...
problem with your son?

297
00:13:47,077 --> 00:13:50,080
No, but we knew going in
it wouldn't be easy.

298
00:13:50,121 --> 00:13:52,248
I told Kim I just
wanted off that baby
genius track.

299
00:13:52,290 --> 00:13:53,333
"Track."

300
00:13:53,375 --> 00:13:55,335
That'd make it sound like
it's a race.

301
00:13:55,377 --> 00:13:57,170
Oh, it's totally cutthroat
at our level.

302
00:13:57,212 --> 00:13:59,172
We all know we'll all be
competing for the prizes

303
00:13:59,214 --> 00:14:00,507
and research money.

304
00:14:00,548 --> 00:14:02,926
Do you know
any of the other students

305
00:14:02,967 --> 00:14:05,220
that applied
to Dr. Leonard's program?

306
00:14:05,261 --> 00:14:06,304
Oh, sure.
Except for the new guy

307
00:14:06,346 --> 00:14:08,014
we've all been together
in math camp

308
00:14:08,056 --> 00:14:09,265
since we came
out of the test tube.

309
00:14:09,307 --> 00:14:11,518
Charlie knows very well

310
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,270
he wasn't conceived
in a test tube.

311
00:14:16,439 --> 00:14:19,567
Um...

312
00:14:19,609 --> 00:14:21,319
so who was this new kid?

313
00:14:21,361 --> 00:14:22,821
Uh, Robbie something.

314
00:14:22,862 --> 00:14:25,615
I don't know, Leonard treats him
like he's another John Nash.

315
00:14:25,657 --> 00:14:28,034
She just leaves him alone
and lets him doodle.

316
00:14:28,076 --> 00:14:31,037
His father told me
he's been home-schooled
since kindergarten.

317
00:14:31,079 --> 00:14:32,539
Do you know
the other parents well?

318
00:14:32,580 --> 00:14:35,208
Pretty well. We spend a
lot of time commiserating.

319
00:14:35,250 --> 00:14:38,044
You have no idea
what a challenge it is

320
00:14:38,086 --> 00:14:42,590
parenting a gifted child.

321
00:14:42,632 --> 00:14:44,300
This... math equation

322
00:14:44,342 --> 00:14:48,221
I saw it at the institute
on the board.

323
00:14:48,263 --> 00:14:50,223
Oh, yeah, it's the Riemann
Hypothesis

324
00:14:50,265 --> 00:14:51,683
one of the millennium projects.

325
00:14:51,725 --> 00:14:53,643
You solve it,
you make a million bucks.

326
00:14:53,685 --> 00:14:56,563
Leonard's pet project.

327
00:14:56,604 --> 00:14:59,607
She wants one of her
baby geniuses to solve it.

328
00:14:59,649 --> 00:15:02,652
Can I keep this?

329
00:15:02,694 --> 00:15:05,280
Sure, what do I need it for?

330
00:15:05,321 --> 00:15:07,574
(strums discordant chord)

331
00:15:07,615 --> 00:15:10,326
MAN:
Oh, he went to school,
for about five minutes

332
00:15:10,368 --> 00:15:12,579
until I saw what was
happening to him.

333
00:15:12,620 --> 00:15:13,580
Which was what?

334
00:15:13,621 --> 00:15:14,581
He was bored.

335
00:15:14,622 --> 00:15:16,374
He was so far ahead,
and I thought

336
00:15:16,416 --> 00:15:18,543
Hell, I can do a better job
than those clunkheads.

337
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:20,545
"Clunkheads."

338
00:15:20,587 --> 00:15:24,174
Do you think they were
clunkheads, Robbie?

339
00:15:24,215 --> 00:15:26,259
Well, they were just trying
their best

340
00:15:26,301 --> 00:15:28,386
but they didn't have
enough training

341
00:15:28,428 --> 00:15:30,138
to teach someone like me.

342
00:15:30,180 --> 00:15:32,474
Who helped you home-school him,
your wife?

343
00:15:32,515 --> 00:15:34,768
My wife died in an accident
five years ago.

344
00:15:34,809 --> 00:15:36,353
I came up with the curriculum.

345
00:15:36,394 --> 00:15:37,979
It was just Robbie and me.

346
00:15:38,021 --> 00:15:40,106
And you, what,
work nights?

347
00:15:40,148 --> 00:15:42,650
No, I spend my nights
with Robbie.

348
00:15:42,692 --> 00:15:45,278
I'm on disability
from work.

349
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,197
Tae kwon do?
You used to compete?

350
00:15:47,238 --> 00:15:48,573
Long time ago

351
00:15:48,615 --> 00:15:51,242
but unless I was willing
to do it on a national level

352
00:15:51,284 --> 00:15:52,452
it wasn't worth it.

353
00:15:52,494 --> 00:15:54,412
Auto racing, did you
do that nationally?

354
00:15:54,454 --> 00:15:55,955
Regional, quarter-mile.

355
00:15:55,997 --> 00:15:59,084
Robbie remembers being in his
mother's arms watching me race.

356
00:16:02,337 --> 00:16:05,131
Let me guess:
you were in a band.

357
00:16:05,173 --> 00:16:06,633
Oh, that's all
in the past.

358
00:16:06,675 --> 00:16:09,052
Robbie, you want
to show me your room?

359
00:16:09,094 --> 00:16:11,638
No, I devote myself
full-time to my son's education.

360
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,014
Is that okay?

361
00:16:14,307 --> 00:16:15,475
Wednesday night

362
00:16:15,517 --> 00:16:17,143
you remember
where you were?

363
00:16:17,185 --> 00:16:18,144
Here.

364
00:16:18,186 --> 00:16:19,521
Uh, Robbie was asleep.

365
00:16:19,562 --> 00:16:20,605
Do you own a car?

366
00:16:20,647 --> 00:16:21,648
Nope.

367
00:16:21,690 --> 00:16:23,733
A gun?

368
00:16:23,775 --> 00:16:26,069
Come on.

369
00:16:26,111 --> 00:16:30,573
No, I don't own a gun.

370
00:16:30,615 --> 00:16:34,202
Derek Jeter's rookie card,
signed.

371
00:16:34,244 --> 00:16:36,496
You must be a Yankee fan.

372
00:16:36,538 --> 00:16:39,207
Well, baseball's
a thinking man's game.

373
00:16:39,249 --> 00:16:41,167
Do you know who managed
the Yankees in the '80s?

374
00:16:41,209 --> 00:16:42,669
Whodidn'tmanage
the Yankees in the '80s?

375
00:16:42,711 --> 00:16:44,796
Billy Martin came back
three times.

376
00:16:44,838 --> 00:16:46,798
Gene Michael came back twice.

377
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,343
Bob Lemon, Yogi Berra, Clyde
King, Lou Piniella, Dallas Green

378
00:16:50,385 --> 00:16:52,178
Bucky Dent,
and Stump Merrill.

379
00:16:52,220 --> 00:16:53,763
Wow.

380
00:16:53,805 --> 00:16:55,724
Your dad take you
to the games?

381
00:16:55,765 --> 00:16:58,351
No, he says watching sports
doesn't add any value

382
00:16:58,393 --> 00:16:59,811
to my education

383
00:16:59,853 --> 00:17:02,105
but I follow the stats
on my computer.

384
00:17:03,732 --> 00:17:07,444
But you play.

385
00:17:07,485 --> 00:17:08,695
What position?

386
00:17:08,737 --> 00:17:12,449
Oh, no, I don't have time.

387
00:17:14,826 --> 00:17:18,204
How were your interviews
with Kim Stevens?

388
00:17:18,246 --> 00:17:20,206
Oh, she was a nice person.

389
00:17:20,248 --> 00:17:21,458
Did she tell you

390
00:17:21,499 --> 00:17:24,127
that you might not get
into the program?

391
00:17:24,169 --> 00:17:25,712
No.

392
00:17:25,754 --> 00:17:29,758
The Riemann Hypothesis.

393
00:17:31,718 --> 00:17:33,845
You know, this does
not look fun.

394
00:17:33,887 --> 00:17:37,265
My dad says that sometimes
the way to solve a problem is

395
00:17:37,307 --> 00:17:39,142
to let your
right brain work on it

396
00:17:39,184 --> 00:17:40,560
so that's what I'm doing.

397
00:17:45,273 --> 00:17:47,317
I really like your drawings.

398
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,862
Hey, if...

399
00:17:50,904 --> 00:17:51,905
If you don't need them

400
00:17:51,946 --> 00:17:53,698
do you think
I could have them?

401
00:17:53,740 --> 00:17:55,283
Sure, okay.

402
00:17:57,285 --> 00:17:59,120
Catcher-- that's what you play.

403
00:17:59,162 --> 00:18:00,747
How'd you know?

404
00:18:00,789 --> 00:18:03,166
It's the thinking man's
position.

405
00:18:46,334 --> 00:18:49,295
You really need
a million bucks that bad?

406
00:18:49,337 --> 00:18:51,381
Robbie's calculations...

407
00:18:51,423 --> 00:18:55,593
They contain symbols that aren't
in the other kids' work

408
00:18:55,635 --> 00:18:57,762
and they're not in any work

409
00:18:57,804 --> 00:18:59,973
done on the
Riemann Hypothesis.

410
00:19:00,015 --> 00:19:01,725
They don't belong there.

411
00:19:01,766 --> 00:19:04,477
He's ten years old;
he made a mistake.

412
00:19:04,519 --> 00:19:07,272
No, there's-there's no mistake.

413
00:19:07,313 --> 00:19:11,776
This symbol, infinity.

414
00:19:11,818 --> 00:19:14,571
This one...

415
00:19:16,948 --> 00:19:18,533
it's omega-- the end.

416
00:19:18,575 --> 00:19:19,701
This one...

417
00:19:21,619 --> 00:19:24,706
theta-- death.

418
00:19:26,499 --> 00:19:27,709
Robbie wrote these

419
00:19:27,751 --> 00:19:31,421
in his calculations
over and over again.

420
00:19:31,463 --> 00:19:35,800
Infinity, the end, death.

421
00:19:35,842 --> 00:19:38,303
He's suicidal.

422
00:19:38,345 --> 00:19:39,846
Kim Stevens found out.

423
00:19:39,888 --> 00:19:42,891
She was going to keep him
out of the program.

424
00:19:45,643 --> 00:19:47,645
(sighs)

425
00:19:50,774 --> 00:19:53,485
If Kim Stevens decided Robbie
was psychologically unfit

426
00:19:53,526 --> 00:19:55,695
his father might have found out.

427
00:19:55,737 --> 00:19:57,614
Maybe he thought he could change
her mind.

428
00:19:57,655 --> 00:20:00,033
Webster got into the picture,
the dad panicked.

429
00:20:00,075 --> 00:20:01,993
And killed two people
just to get his child

430
00:20:02,035 --> 00:20:03,328
into an educational program?

431
00:20:03,370 --> 00:20:06,456
Dads kill over hockey,
why not over education?

432
00:20:06,498 --> 00:20:08,124
Yes, especially this dad.

433
00:20:08,166 --> 00:20:11,753
The rock star, martial arts
expert, drag racing champion...

434
00:20:11,795 --> 00:20:16,132
All attention-seeking careers,
all of which he's failed at.

435
00:20:16,174 --> 00:20:18,760
But if his son succeeds,
the spotlight's back on him.

436
00:20:18,802 --> 00:20:20,679
Have you confirmed
that Ms. Stevens

437
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,099
diagnosed Robbie Bishop
as unfit?

438
00:20:24,140 --> 00:20:26,559
The school won't release
her files

439
00:20:26,601 --> 00:20:28,561
without the
father's permission.

440
00:20:28,603 --> 00:20:30,480
Fat chance of that.

441
00:20:30,522 --> 00:20:32,315
Unless we could have
him removed

442
00:20:32,357 --> 00:20:34,025
as guardian of his
son's records.

443
00:20:34,067 --> 00:20:36,820
We'd have to convince
a judge there's probable cause

444
00:20:36,861 --> 00:20:40,115
to consider Mr. Bishop
a murder suspect.

445
00:20:40,156 --> 00:20:44,077
Uh...

446
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,331
The lab found a mixture
of higher paraffins imprinted

447
00:20:48,373 --> 00:20:50,834
on the back of her sweater.

448
00:20:50,875 --> 00:20:54,170
The substance is a preservative,
cosmoline,

449
00:20:54,212 --> 00:20:56,339
used on new cars
shipped from overseas.

450
00:20:56,381 --> 00:20:58,675
Shaped like the flashing
around a car window.

451
00:20:58,717 --> 00:21:00,719
Bishop pushed her
up against his car.

452
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,055
Bishop doesn't have
a car-- we checked.

453
00:21:04,097 --> 00:21:07,058
Do we have Bishop's
employment history?

454
00:21:13,231 --> 00:21:15,191
He worked in the
Stevedores' Union.

455
00:21:15,233 --> 00:21:17,527
Worked for auto train
freight forwarders.

456
00:21:17,569 --> 00:21:20,071
Still works there a
couple days a month.

457
00:21:20,113 --> 00:21:22,574
Taking cars off boats,
putting them on trains.

458
00:21:22,615 --> 00:21:24,159
Wouldn't be too
tough to borrow

459
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,785
one of those cars
for the night.

460
00:21:25,827 --> 00:21:28,413
You match the imprint
on the sweater to a model of car

461
00:21:28,455 --> 00:21:30,123
in that shipyard.

462
00:21:30,165 --> 00:21:32,500
That should be enough probable
cause to satisfy a judge.

463
00:21:32,542 --> 00:21:34,836
Enough for a search
warrant, too?

464
00:21:38,214 --> 00:21:40,425
I want everything cataloged
and returned, you understand?

465
00:21:40,467 --> 00:21:42,302
You got some balls coming
between me and my son.

466
00:21:42,344 --> 00:21:44,637
I'm the only one here
who's got his best
interests at heart.

467
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:46,723
You're not concerned
that your son might
be suicidal?

468
00:21:46,765 --> 00:21:48,892
If Robbie was unhappy,
he'd tell me.

469
00:21:48,933 --> 00:21:52,604
You couldn't tell from all these
personality tests?

470
00:21:52,645 --> 00:21:55,523
Those just measure
social adjustment.

471
00:21:55,565 --> 00:21:58,443
I have to make sure
he's not getting overloaded.

472
00:21:58,485 --> 00:22:00,653
I always read that
kids with high IQs

473
00:22:00,695 --> 00:22:02,280
they thrive on pressure.

474
00:22:02,322 --> 00:22:04,282
They need it to help
them develop.

475
00:22:04,324 --> 00:22:05,784
There's nothing I hate more

476
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,161
than discussing my child
with a know-it-all.

477
00:22:10,789 --> 00:22:12,749
Hmm... Are you dyslexic?

478
00:22:12,791 --> 00:22:14,751
Because you wrote
down a phone number

479
00:22:14,793 --> 00:22:16,252
and then crossed it out

480
00:22:16,294 --> 00:22:18,129
and rewrote it in
the right order.

481
00:22:18,171 --> 00:22:20,215
I was tired, that's all.

482
00:22:20,256 --> 00:22:23,343
Where's your partner?
Where'd she go?

483
00:22:23,385 --> 00:22:27,514
My mom used to tell me stories
at night before I went to sleep.

484
00:22:27,555 --> 00:22:29,641
Now your dad
reads to you?

485
00:22:29,683 --> 00:22:32,185
Yes, until I fall asleep.

486
00:22:32,227 --> 00:22:34,479
He never leaves me alone.

487
00:22:34,521 --> 00:22:36,439
What about
last Wednesday?

488
00:22:36,481 --> 00:22:38,358
Did he read to you?

489
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,360
I just went to sleep.

490
00:22:40,402 --> 00:22:41,611
I was pooped.

491
00:22:41,653 --> 00:22:43,905
Robbie, the detectives
have work to do.

492
00:22:43,947 --> 00:22:45,657
Let's get
out of their way.

493
00:22:52,789 --> 00:22:54,416
Look what he showed me.

494
00:22:57,544 --> 00:22:58,628
His aunt and uncle.

495
00:22:58,670 --> 00:23:00,505
They live in Western Mass.

496
00:23:00,547 --> 00:23:02,799
He says he visits
every chance he gets.

497
00:23:02,841 --> 00:23:04,718
There, he looks happy.

498
00:23:07,012 --> 00:23:09,431
If he was there.

499
00:23:09,472 --> 00:23:11,307
You see Robbie's face?

500
00:23:11,349 --> 00:23:14,728
The lighting and the shadows
don't match the others.

501
00:23:16,855 --> 00:23:20,650
He digitally put himself
in this photo.

502
00:23:27,323 --> 00:23:30,243
Looks like Stevens did a pretty
thorough work-up on Robbie.

503
00:23:30,285 --> 00:23:31,745
At least he had fun
with her.

504
00:23:31,786 --> 00:23:33,288
She took him
to the Bronx Zoo

505
00:23:33,329 --> 00:23:35,832
to Little League
in Prospect Park one Saturday.

506
00:23:35,874 --> 00:23:37,792
To observe him
with kids his own age.

507
00:23:37,834 --> 00:23:39,919
She says here
he's remarkably
well-adjusted.

508
00:23:39,961 --> 00:23:42,339
How could she miss this
kid was miserable?

509
00:23:42,380 --> 00:23:44,007
Says here she gave him
an MMPI.

510
00:23:44,049 --> 00:23:45,592
Do you have it over there?

511
00:23:45,633 --> 00:23:47,969
Well, if you tell me
what it is in plain English

512
00:23:48,011 --> 00:23:49,679
I might be able to find it.

513
00:23:49,721 --> 00:23:53,683
Minnesota Multiphasic
Personality Inventory.

514
00:23:53,725 --> 00:23:56,353
It tests social adjustment.

515
00:23:56,394 --> 00:23:57,854
I remember this.

516
00:23:57,896 --> 00:24:00,315
We had to take it
the last year
of high school.

517
00:24:00,357 --> 00:24:01,691
So did we.

518
00:24:01,733 --> 00:24:02,859
How'd you do?

519
00:24:02,901 --> 00:24:05,320
I had to go
to my counselor's office

520
00:24:05,362 --> 00:24:07,572
and have a talk
with the school shrink.

521
00:24:07,614 --> 00:24:08,698
(laughs)

522
00:24:08,740 --> 00:24:10,241
How about you?

523
00:24:10,283 --> 00:24:12,911
Me? I was so well-adjusted
they elected me prom queen.

524
00:24:15,914 --> 00:24:18,750
Well, Robbie's scores are
off the chart

525
00:24:18,792 --> 00:24:22,754
indicating a high level of
adaptability and socialization.

526
00:24:24,589 --> 00:24:27,592
Not the kid we saw.

527
00:24:27,634 --> 00:24:29,886
No, his dad
must have coached him.

528
00:24:29,928 --> 00:24:32,972
He had all the personality
tests, the literature.

529
00:24:33,014 --> 00:24:34,974
He wasn't taking any chances.

530
00:24:35,016 --> 00:24:36,309
Well, it worked.

531
00:24:36,351 --> 00:24:38,895
She was recommending
him for admission.

532
00:24:44,776 --> 00:24:48,488
Then why would David Bishop
get the idea that she wasn't?

533
00:24:51,574 --> 00:24:52,784
I have no idea

534
00:24:52,826 --> 00:24:55,370
how Mr. Bishop could have gotten
that impression.

535
00:24:55,412 --> 00:24:57,831
I was never anything
but absolutely positive

536
00:24:57,872 --> 00:24:59,582
about Robbie's joining
our program.

537
00:24:59,624 --> 00:25:00,792
I wanted him.

538
00:25:00,834 --> 00:25:02,585
You told
Mr. Bishop that?

539
00:25:02,627 --> 00:25:04,671
That would have been impolitic.

540
00:25:04,713 --> 00:25:06,965
I had to wait
for Kim's evaluation.

541
00:25:07,007 --> 00:25:10,719
I mean, what do those
evaluations tell you, anyway?

542
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,471
These kids are bound
to be maladjusted.

543
00:25:13,513 --> 00:25:15,598
They've never fit in anywhere

544
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,351
but here, they're
with their own kind.

545
00:25:18,393 --> 00:25:20,603
You've created
a safe haven for them.

546
00:25:20,645 --> 00:25:22,689
I'd like to think so.

547
00:25:22,731 --> 00:25:24,357
And if Robbie acts out

548
00:25:24,399 --> 00:25:27,944
I mean, it's nothing you're
going to take too seriously.

549
00:25:27,986 --> 00:25:29,946
That's right. It was
just a normal reaction

550
00:25:29,988 --> 00:25:31,656
to his special circumstances.

551
00:25:31,698 --> 00:25:32,615
So he acted out, then?

552
00:25:32,657 --> 00:25:33,825
That's not what I said.

553
00:25:33,867 --> 00:25:36,536
You said his acting out
was normal.

554
00:25:36,578 --> 00:25:40,498
What did he do?

555
00:25:40,540 --> 00:25:44,627
That you didn't take seriously?

556
00:25:44,669 --> 00:25:47,339
When he came for his first
interview in my office

557
00:25:47,380 --> 00:25:48,715
he fainted.

558
00:25:48,757 --> 00:25:50,717
His father said
he had the flu.

559
00:25:50,759 --> 00:25:52,552
What did you
think it was?

560
00:25:52,594 --> 00:25:54,346
Stress, obviously.

561
00:25:54,387 --> 00:25:58,558
This was the most important
interview of his young life.

562
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,852
Why wasn't this incident
in Ms. Stevens' file?

563
00:26:00,894 --> 00:26:02,395
BecauseIdidn't tell her.

564
00:26:02,437 --> 00:26:04,564
It was immaterial
to his suitability.

565
00:26:04,606 --> 00:26:08,777
Uh, you have classes
seven days a week?

566
00:26:08,818 --> 00:26:10,653
The children only attend
six days.

567
00:26:10,695 --> 00:26:12,655
Saturdays for some,
Sundays for others

568
00:26:12,697 --> 00:26:14,741
depending upon their religious
persuasion.

569
00:26:14,783 --> 00:26:16,076
Saturdays for Robbie?

570
00:26:16,117 --> 00:26:17,535
Yes.

571
00:26:19,079 --> 00:26:21,456
Did he know he'd have to go
to school on Saturdays?

572
00:26:21,498 --> 00:26:23,500
Absolutely.

573
00:26:23,541 --> 00:26:25,418
We make it clear,
when the children apply

574
00:26:25,460 --> 00:26:27,754
the level of commitment
that we expect from them.

575
00:26:27,796 --> 00:26:29,714
Would you like to go
to a Little League game?

576
00:26:31,841 --> 00:26:32,967
I talked to Dr. Leonard.

577
00:26:33,009 --> 00:26:34,636
She doesn't think
you're giving 100%.

578
00:26:34,678 --> 00:26:35,845
But I'm doing
the best I can.

579
00:26:35,887 --> 00:26:37,681
Nothing is more important
than your education.

580
00:26:37,722 --> 00:26:38,640
You know that, right?

581
00:26:38,682 --> 00:26:40,016
I know.

582
00:26:40,058 --> 00:26:41,810
I might not always be there
to remind you.

583
00:26:41,851 --> 00:26:43,061
Where are you going?

584
00:26:43,103 --> 00:26:44,688
Nowhere.
All I'm saying is

585
00:26:44,729 --> 00:26:46,648
I want you
to concentrate harder.

586
00:26:46,690 --> 00:26:48,525
You have your lunch?

587
00:26:48,566 --> 00:26:51,528
All right,
see you at 4:00.

588
00:26:57,742 --> 00:26:59,035
I remember this kid
from the tryout.

589
00:26:59,077 --> 00:27:00,537
He knew a lot
about baseball.

590
00:27:00,578 --> 00:27:02,038
Did he show up
by himself?

591
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,581
No. His mother
was there

592
00:27:03,623 --> 00:27:04,833
in the stands.

593
00:27:04,874 --> 00:27:06,001
I-I remember.

594
00:27:06,042 --> 00:27:07,961
He pointed her
out to me.

595
00:27:08,003 --> 00:27:10,046
Yeah, that's her.

596
00:27:10,088 --> 00:27:13,425
These kids, they know that
the games and practices

597
00:27:13,466 --> 00:27:14,884
are on Saturdays, right?

598
00:27:14,926 --> 00:27:18,054
Yeah. We tell them
at the tryout.

599
00:27:18,096 --> 00:27:20,473
Thanks.

600
00:27:20,515 --> 00:27:22,809
He knew if he got accepted
into Leonard's program

601
00:27:22,851 --> 00:27:24,686
he wouldn't be able
to make the games.

602
00:27:24,728 --> 00:27:26,187
But he signed up anyway

603
00:27:26,229 --> 00:27:28,189
five days before Leonard
made her picks.

604
00:27:28,231 --> 00:27:29,899
Robbie must have
been convinced

605
00:27:29,941 --> 00:27:31,443
he wouldn't be admitted.

606
00:27:31,484 --> 00:27:33,486
Or else he was making sure
he wouldn't be

607
00:27:33,528 --> 00:27:34,612
by lying to his father

608
00:27:34,654 --> 00:27:36,781
telling him that Kim Stevens
was giving him

609
00:27:36,823 --> 00:27:38,074
a negative evaluation.

610
00:27:38,116 --> 00:27:40,035
Hoping like any
normal ten-year-old

611
00:27:40,076 --> 00:27:42,829
his dad would then just
forget about the school.

612
00:27:42,871 --> 00:27:44,873
Not realizing that
his dad is not like

613
00:27:44,914 --> 00:27:47,792
any normal 40-year-old.

614
00:27:51,629 --> 00:27:53,089
If he really didn't want
to be in this program

615
00:27:53,131 --> 00:27:55,216
why not just tell his father?

616
00:27:55,258 --> 00:27:56,843
What, risk disappointing
the only parent

617
00:27:56,885 --> 00:27:58,303
that he has left?

618
00:27:58,345 --> 00:27:59,929
It's much safer for
him to lay the blame
on Kim Stevens.

619
00:27:59,971 --> 00:28:01,639
Her note suggests
they had a good relationship.

620
00:28:01,681 --> 00:28:04,184
Couldn't he have
confided in her?

621
00:28:04,225 --> 00:28:05,518
Well, maybe he
tried to tell her

622
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:06,853
in-in his own way.

623
00:28:06,895 --> 00:28:08,813
The Greek symbols
in his math equation.

624
00:28:08,855 --> 00:28:10,774
Anything more overt
might have put him

625
00:28:10,815 --> 00:28:12,275
in direct conflict
with his dad.

626
00:28:12,317 --> 00:28:14,235
When no one picked up
on how depressed

627
00:28:14,277 --> 00:28:16,780
this poor kid was,
lying was his only way out.

628
00:28:16,821 --> 00:28:18,740
Now you need the truth from him.

629
00:28:18,782 --> 00:28:20,492
What he told his father

630
00:28:20,533 --> 00:28:23,244
what he knows
about his father's whereabouts

631
00:28:23,286 --> 00:28:24,871
the night of the killings

632
00:28:24,913 --> 00:28:27,248
assuming you can talk to the boy
without his father.

633
00:28:27,290 --> 00:28:29,084
The only place Robbie's
away from his dad

634
00:28:29,125 --> 00:28:30,418
is at the university.

635
00:28:30,460 --> 00:28:32,128
We'd need Leonard's permission
to talk to him there.

636
00:28:32,170 --> 00:28:36,633
I imagine I could persuade her.

637
00:28:36,675 --> 00:28:39,928
You want to subject a minor
child to a police interrogation

638
00:28:39,969 --> 00:28:42,722
without his father being present
or even notified?

639
00:28:42,764 --> 00:28:44,099
It wouldn't be an interrogation.

640
00:28:44,140 --> 00:28:45,809
He's a witness, not a suspect.

641
00:28:45,850 --> 00:28:47,977
I could be sued for allowing it.

642
00:28:48,019 --> 00:28:50,146
You could be charged
if you don't.

643
00:28:50,188 --> 00:28:51,731
That is ridiculous.

644
00:28:51,773 --> 00:28:53,942
If I thought
that there was abuse

645
00:28:53,983 --> 00:28:56,152
I would do something
about it.

646
00:28:56,194 --> 00:28:57,529
Even if it meant
losing Robbie Bishop

647
00:28:57,570 --> 00:28:58,530
as one of your students?

648
00:28:58,571 --> 00:28:59,698
Of course.

649
00:28:59,739 --> 00:29:01,991
Ah, what, a profoundly
gifted child

650
00:29:02,033 --> 00:29:04,327
who graduated high
school at age seven?

651
00:29:04,369 --> 00:29:07,080
Who scored a perfect 800
on his math SATs?

652
00:29:07,122 --> 00:29:10,750
Whose IQ was
recorded at 246

653
00:29:10,792 --> 00:29:12,711
on the Stanford-Binet Scale?

654
00:29:12,752 --> 00:29:14,754
Who represents
your only chance

655
00:29:14,796 --> 00:29:18,633
of one of your students
solving a millennium
prize problem?

656
00:29:18,675 --> 00:29:22,137
You would risk losing him
over a little fainting spell?

657
00:29:22,178 --> 00:29:23,304
I should mention

658
00:29:23,346 --> 00:29:26,057
that while I investigate
this abuse charge

659
00:29:26,099 --> 00:29:27,934
I can shut down
your institute

660
00:29:27,976 --> 00:29:30,812
which I'm sure will generate
a great deal of interest

661
00:29:30,854 --> 00:29:33,106
from the press.

662
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,821
Hey, Dad.

663
00:29:39,863 --> 00:29:41,322
I'm ready for school.

664
00:29:41,364 --> 00:29:42,991
Great, great.

665
00:29:43,033 --> 00:29:44,868
Let me just finish my coffee.

666
00:29:44,909 --> 00:29:46,995
Your lunch is right there.

667
00:29:52,876 --> 00:29:54,794
Colorado?

668
00:29:54,836 --> 00:29:58,048
We're going to Colorado?

669
00:29:58,089 --> 00:30:01,134
There's a special school.

670
00:30:01,176 --> 00:30:04,888
They heard about you.
I don't know.

671
00:30:08,099 --> 00:30:10,810
There was something else
in the mail.

672
00:30:10,852 --> 00:30:13,855
From the Little League?

673
00:30:19,736 --> 00:30:21,196
It's okay, Robbie.

674
00:30:21,237 --> 00:30:25,283
You're allowed a mistake
every now and then.

675
00:30:36,711 --> 00:30:38,838
Hey, Robbie.

676
00:30:41,883 --> 00:30:44,928
Dr. Leonard told me
this is where you like

677
00:30:44,969 --> 00:30:46,846
to spend your lunch hour.

678
00:30:46,888 --> 00:30:48,932
What are you doing
up here?

679
00:30:48,973 --> 00:30:53,812
No... well, I...
I just want to talk to you.

680
00:30:53,853 --> 00:30:57,357
I don't want to
talk about my dad.

681
00:30:57,399 --> 00:30:59,275
We don't have to.

682
00:30:59,317 --> 00:31:02,112
We can talk about this.

683
00:31:02,153 --> 00:31:05,824
I was wondering what you thought
of Boston this year.

684
00:31:05,865 --> 00:31:08,868
Boston?

685
00:31:08,910 --> 00:31:09,953
What, you don't like Boston?

686
00:31:09,994 --> 00:31:11,246
They're leading the league.

687
00:31:11,287 --> 00:31:13,289
This week.

688
00:31:13,331 --> 00:31:14,708
They choke every time
they get a lead.

689
00:31:14,749 --> 00:31:17,085
They didn't choke the last time
they played the Yankees.

690
00:31:17,127 --> 00:31:18,837
Four-zip...
thanks to Jeter.

691
00:31:18,878 --> 00:31:19,921
He lost that game.

692
00:31:19,963 --> 00:31:21,381
Jeter was safe at second.

693
00:31:21,423 --> 00:31:23,299
With the bases loaded, they
could have tied the game

694
00:31:23,341 --> 00:31:24,676
and gone into extra innings.

695
00:31:24,718 --> 00:31:25,969
No way!

696
00:31:26,011 --> 00:31:27,679
Look, I saw that play
on the news.

697
00:31:27,721 --> 00:31:28,805
He was out by a mile.

698
00:31:28,847 --> 00:31:30,015
I saw ithappen.

699
00:31:30,056 --> 00:31:31,307
He was safe.

700
00:31:34,769 --> 00:31:35,979
What, you wat...
you watched the game?

701
00:31:36,021 --> 00:31:38,189
Your dad was out
that night?

702
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,278
No, he was home.

703
00:31:43,319 --> 00:31:47,907
Well, you said...

704
00:31:47,949 --> 00:31:51,870
that your dad doesn't let you
watch baseball.

705
00:31:51,911 --> 00:31:54,748
Sometimes he does.

706
00:31:54,789 --> 00:31:57,208
"No added value."

707
00:31:57,250 --> 00:31:59,169
Th-That's what...
that's you said.

708
00:31:59,210 --> 00:32:00,920
Come on, Robbie,
tell me the truth.

709
00:32:00,962 --> 00:32:03,214
Was your dad home?

710
00:32:03,256 --> 00:32:06,009
No.

711
00:32:06,051 --> 00:32:08,053
Oh.

712
00:32:10,972 --> 00:32:14,017
That was Wednesday night.

713
00:32:14,059 --> 00:32:20,231
The night before you found out
you were admitted here?

714
00:32:28,406 --> 00:32:30,867
You didn't think you were going
to get in, did you?

715
00:32:39,167 --> 00:32:42,087
You thought that you were going
to be playing baseball

716
00:32:42,128 --> 00:32:44,089
on Saturdays

717
00:32:44,130 --> 00:32:48,343
instead of being stuck
in here.

718
00:32:48,385 --> 00:32:53,223
I-I know that you tried
to let people know

719
00:32:53,264 --> 00:32:56,935
how you felt about coming here.

720
00:32:56,976 --> 00:33:00,271
They wouldn't see it.

721
00:33:06,486 --> 00:33:09,280
You told your dad a fib...

722
00:33:09,322 --> 00:33:14,244
about Ms. Stevens...

723
00:33:14,285 --> 00:33:17,288
keeping you out of the program?

724
00:33:20,959 --> 00:33:24,170
You hate it in here.

725
00:33:24,212 --> 00:33:28,091
You know how I know?

726
00:33:43,356 --> 00:33:45,817
You told me.

727
00:33:46,860 --> 00:33:48,570
Yeah.

728
00:33:58,913 --> 00:34:01,875
You've been thinking
about these things a lot.

729
00:34:08,923 --> 00:34:12,302
Maybe you thought
about hurting yourself.

730
00:34:18,350 --> 00:34:22,145
What is it about this place
that makes you so unhappy?

731
00:34:29,194 --> 00:34:31,404
Is it the other kids?

732
00:34:34,074 --> 00:34:36,409
The teachers?

733
00:34:44,209 --> 00:34:45,377
Is it the work?

734
00:34:50,965 --> 00:34:54,260
The work is too hard?

735
00:34:58,973 --> 00:35:02,018
Can I see your book?

736
00:35:03,269 --> 00:35:06,272
Please?

737
00:35:27,210 --> 00:35:29,629
Has Dr. Leonard seen this?

738
00:35:29,671 --> 00:35:33,133
No.

739
00:35:34,968 --> 00:35:35,677
Has your dad?

740
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,930
No.

741
00:35:47,564 --> 00:35:50,191
Nobody knows?

742
00:35:53,278 --> 00:35:56,573
I just have to try harder.

743
00:35:56,614 --> 00:35:59,409
(sniffling)

744
00:36:16,509 --> 00:36:18,678
(knock at door)

745
00:36:25,352 --> 00:36:26,603
You again.

746
00:36:26,644 --> 00:36:28,438
What is it now?

747
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,149
Now we're
here for you.

748
00:36:31,191 --> 00:36:34,277
I have to pick up my son
from school in an hour.

749
00:36:34,319 --> 00:36:36,529
GOREN:
We already
have that covered.

750
00:36:36,571 --> 00:36:39,032
You going somewhere?

751
00:36:39,074 --> 00:36:40,700
Colorado, maybe?

752
00:36:40,742 --> 00:36:42,619
I don't have to answer that.

753
00:36:42,660 --> 00:36:44,329
Guess what,
wherever it is

754
00:36:44,371 --> 00:36:48,458
you're going,
our squad room's
on the way.

755
00:36:48,500 --> 00:36:50,627
I hope you're not gonna keep me
away from Robbie too long.

756
00:36:50,669 --> 00:36:52,504
He's still adjusting to being
away from home every day.

757
00:36:52,545 --> 00:36:54,172
Robbie will be fine.

758
00:36:54,214 --> 00:36:55,632
He's a remarkable kid.

759
00:36:55,674 --> 00:36:56,758
I know that.

760
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,176
Who first noticed

761
00:36:58,218 --> 00:37:00,136
he was unique,
you or your wife?

762
00:37:00,178 --> 00:37:02,013
My wife told me
she thought he was bright.

763
00:37:05,350 --> 00:37:08,186
But it was your
idea to test him?

764
00:37:08,228 --> 00:37:09,562
Yes.

765
00:37:09,604 --> 00:37:11,690
After she passed away?

766
00:37:11,731 --> 00:37:15,193
I owed it to her to help him
live up to his potential.

767
00:37:15,235 --> 00:37:16,319
He tested well.

768
00:37:16,361 --> 00:37:18,488
He maxed out the scale.

769
00:37:18,530 --> 00:37:21,199
The Stanford-Binet
IQ scale.

770
00:37:21,241 --> 00:37:22,367
Right, and the Wexler scale.

771
00:37:22,409 --> 00:37:23,743
He did that one when he was six.

772
00:37:23,785 --> 00:37:25,161
And then he got
that perfect score

773
00:37:25,203 --> 00:37:26,371
on his math SATs.

774
00:37:26,413 --> 00:37:29,124
That must have been
pretty gratifying for you.

775
00:37:29,165 --> 00:37:31,376
Because you were something
of a math whiz yourself

776
00:37:31,418 --> 00:37:33,128
in high school.

777
00:37:35,130 --> 00:37:36,506
Where did you hear that?

778
00:37:36,548 --> 00:37:38,341
Just from
your old report cards.

779
00:37:38,383 --> 00:37:40,635
They were among the papers
that we took.

780
00:37:40,677 --> 00:37:43,138
I did okay in high school.

781
00:37:46,141 --> 00:37:49,102
You expect more from yourself
than just okay.

782
00:37:49,144 --> 00:37:50,645
I mean, if it weren't
for the dyslexia

783
00:37:50,687 --> 00:37:52,230
you would have been
an "A" student.

784
00:37:52,272 --> 00:37:53,648
25 years ago

785
00:37:53,690 --> 00:37:56,234
they didn't know much
about learning disabilities.

786
00:37:56,276 --> 00:37:59,487
But you have the
drive to succeed,
and you found

787
00:37:59,529 --> 00:38:01,740
other ways to be recognized.

788
00:38:01,781 --> 00:38:03,366
Like being
a race car

789
00:38:03,408 --> 00:38:05,702
driver or a rock star.

790
00:38:05,744 --> 00:38:09,205
Or the father of a genius.

791
00:38:09,247 --> 00:38:11,791
And that's where you put
your best efforts.

792
00:38:11,833 --> 00:38:13,084
Why not?

793
00:38:13,126 --> 00:38:14,461
I mean, that's what being
a father is all about--

794
00:38:14,502 --> 00:38:16,087
making sure your kid
gets the best.

795
00:38:16,129 --> 00:38:18,340
GOREN:
Paid off.

796
00:38:18,381 --> 00:38:22,260
David, we talked
to Dr. Leonard today...

797
00:38:22,302 --> 00:38:25,472
and she thinks
that he's done it.

798
00:38:25,513 --> 00:38:27,349
Done what?

799
00:38:27,390 --> 00:38:29,351
The Riemann
hypothesis.

800
00:38:29,392 --> 00:38:32,729
He's made a breakthrough
and solved it.

801
00:38:32,771 --> 00:38:36,691
What? Oh, my God, that's...

802
00:38:36,733 --> 00:38:38,401
that's fantastic!

803
00:38:38,443 --> 00:38:40,236
I never dreamed
that he'd be
able to do it!

804
00:38:40,278 --> 00:38:42,197
All our work, it was worth it.

805
00:38:42,238 --> 00:38:45,325
Here, have a look
at his workbook.

806
00:38:57,754 --> 00:38:58,797
What is this?

807
00:38:58,838 --> 00:39:00,882
This doesn't make sense.

808
00:39:00,924 --> 00:39:02,217
EAMES:
You sure?

809
00:39:02,258 --> 00:39:03,718
Yeah, I'm sure.

810
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,845
I mean, I know enough about math
to know this is...

811
00:39:05,887 --> 00:39:08,473
GOREN:
What, gibberish?

812
00:39:10,975 --> 00:39:13,603
The work
of a bright eighth-grader

813
00:39:13,645 --> 00:39:17,482
wrestling with concepts
beyond his comprehension?

814
00:39:17,524 --> 00:39:20,235
My son didn't do this.

815
00:39:20,276 --> 00:39:22,237
Yes, he did.

816
00:39:22,278 --> 00:39:24,948
This is what he does...

817
00:39:24,989 --> 00:39:26,616
when you're not around.

818
00:39:26,658 --> 00:39:28,785
When you're not there
to help him.

819
00:39:28,827 --> 00:39:30,412
No. No, not my kid.

820
00:39:30,453 --> 00:39:31,788
You're not there

821
00:39:31,830 --> 00:39:35,291
to finish the Wexler IQ test
for him

822
00:39:35,333 --> 00:39:38,628
and work out the answers
for the SATs.

823
00:39:38,670 --> 00:39:40,380
Robbie did those by himself.

824
00:39:40,422 --> 00:39:42,215
The only one he
did by himself

825
00:39:42,257 --> 00:39:43,591
is the Stanford-Binet

826
00:39:43,633 --> 00:39:45,385
and that's only
after he memorized

827
00:39:45,427 --> 00:39:47,595
the manual you gave to him
before taking the test.

828
00:39:47,637 --> 00:39:51,641
David,
Robbie told us...

829
00:39:51,683 --> 00:39:56,312
about the memory exercises,
about the vocabulary builders

830
00:39:56,354 --> 00:39:58,690
about the constant coaching.

831
00:39:58,732 --> 00:40:02,944
That's just
how we work together.

832
00:40:02,986 --> 00:40:04,529
He's just a little boy.

833
00:40:04,571 --> 00:40:07,991
Yeah, a smart little
boy with a terrific
memory

834
00:40:08,033 --> 00:40:12,328
and an overwhelming fear
of disappointing his father.

835
00:40:19,961 --> 00:40:21,796
But he's not a genius.

836
00:40:21,838 --> 00:40:24,507
You're wrong.

837
00:40:29,387 --> 00:40:32,891
He's afraid to tell you.

838
00:40:36,728 --> 00:40:38,313
That's why
he lied to you

839
00:40:38,355 --> 00:40:40,231
about Kim Stevens'
intentions.

840
00:40:40,273 --> 00:40:42,484
These are her notes
on Robbie.

841
00:40:42,525 --> 00:40:44,986
She was giving him
a positive evaluation.

842
00:41:01,461 --> 00:41:03,880
(whispers):
Oh, God.

843
00:41:03,922 --> 00:41:07,759
Robbie. I need to see my son.

844
00:41:09,678 --> 00:41:11,721
I need to see my son.

845
00:41:11,763 --> 00:41:13,473
I need to tell him... Robbie!

846
00:41:13,515 --> 00:41:15,266
Robbie! I want
to talk to him.

847
00:41:15,308 --> 00:41:16,393
Robbie...

848
00:41:19,437 --> 00:41:20,522
He needs me.

849
00:41:20,563 --> 00:41:21,648
EAMES:
He's fine.

850
00:41:21,690 --> 00:41:22,899
His aunt
and uncle

851
00:41:22,941 --> 00:41:25,318
are on their way down
from Massachusetts.

852
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:26,903
You want to help your son.

853
00:41:26,945 --> 00:41:28,697
I want to talk to him.

854
00:41:28,738 --> 00:41:30,407
Robbie...

855
00:41:30,448 --> 00:41:32,909
You have to own up
to the murders.

856
00:41:32,951 --> 00:41:34,744
Tell the truth.

857
00:41:37,789 --> 00:41:39,749
Why?

858
00:41:39,791 --> 00:41:44,587
You confess,
there's no trial.

859
00:41:44,629 --> 00:41:47,382
There's no need for us
to bring in Robbie

860
00:41:47,424 --> 00:41:49,801
to testify that
you weren't home that night.

861
00:41:54,389 --> 00:41:56,474
There's no need
for him to know

862
00:41:56,516 --> 00:41:58,476
that the lie
that he told you

863
00:41:58,518 --> 00:42:01,438
is the reason
why you killed Kim Stevens.

864
00:42:10,655 --> 00:42:13,825
You can spare him
that knowledge.

865
00:42:19,998 --> 00:42:22,459
Okay.

866
00:42:22,500 --> 00:42:24,878
Okay.

867
00:42:34,679 --> 00:42:36,139
Murder two, two counts.

868
00:42:36,181 --> 00:42:38,058
Concurrent sentences,
20-to-life.

869
00:42:38,099 --> 00:42:41,978
Worst thing for him?

870
00:42:42,020 --> 00:42:43,688
He'll miss Robbie's
college graduation.

871
00:43:16,179 --> 00:43:18,390
(wolf howling)
