[music fades]

3
00:01:01,287 --> 00:01:03,524
Okay. You ready?

4
00:01:16,538 --> 00:01:18,133
- It's beautiful.
- [both chuckle]

5
00:01:18,269 --> 00:01:20,339
- Where'd you find this?
- [chuckles] It's cute, right?

6
00:01:20,474 --> 00:01:23,342
[chuckles] Aw, I love this!

7
00:01:23,478 --> 00:01:24,809
- So cute.
- [both chuckle]

8
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:28,186
It's perfect! [chuckles]

9
00:01:32,253 --> 00:01:34,389
[chuckles softly]

10
00:01:34,525 --> 00:01:37,124
It would've been,
you know, a lot for me.

11
00:01:37,259 --> 00:01:39,098
- Thank you.
- Yeah.

12
00:01:41,394 --> 00:01:42,398
It's perfect.

13
00:01:43,263 --> 00:01:44,235
You're perfect.

14
00:01:47,238 --> 00:01:48,635
- Thank you.
- Of course.

15
00:01:50,436 --> 00:01:52,469
[laughter nearby]

16
00:01:52,604 --> 00:01:54,406
Are they here already?

17
00:01:54,542 --> 00:01:55,947
They're like 30 minutes early.

18
00:01:56,083 --> 00:01:57,549
- Why are they-- What?
- Hey.

19
00:01:57,684 --> 00:01:58,480
It's okay.

20
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,552
- [chuckles]
- I love it.

21
00:02:05,185 --> 00:02:06,453
Yeah?

22
00:02:06,589 --> 00:02:08,150
I'll be honest.
Ally and I, you know,

23
00:02:08,286 --> 00:02:10,625
we weren't sure about
whether to have this party,

24
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,130
but together there's nothing
we can't overcome.

25
00:02:13,266 --> 00:02:14,833
You're the strongest
woman I know.

26
00:02:14,969 --> 00:02:16,833
I love you more than anything.

27
00:02:16,969 --> 00:02:18,268
And I'm so damn excited

28
00:02:18,403 --> 00:02:19,829
to keep building
our lives together.

29
00:02:19,964 --> 00:02:21,969
- Me too. I love you.
- Love you.

30
00:02:22,104 --> 00:02:24,309
[all] Aw.

31
00:02:24,445 --> 00:02:26,035
Why don't you ever say
anything like that about me?

32
00:02:26,170 --> 00:02:28,378
Thank you all for being here.
Thank you.

33
00:02:31,578 --> 00:02:32,508
Vitamins are on the table.

34
00:02:32,644 --> 00:02:34,186
Oh. Thank you, baby.

35
00:02:35,952 --> 00:02:37,648
[sighs]

36
00:02:37,783 --> 00:02:39,485
- It was a nice party.
- Yeah.

37
00:02:39,620 --> 00:02:40,583
Think everyone had a good time.

38
00:02:40,718 --> 00:02:42,458
Yeah. You deserve it.

39
00:02:44,123 --> 00:02:47,030
You're just buttering me up
before you abandon me.

40
00:02:47,166 --> 00:02:49,497
I wish I could delay it again.

41
00:02:49,632 --> 00:02:51,098
- I know.
- I don't want to
leave you here.

42
00:02:51,234 --> 00:02:52,765
You just go to the judge

43
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:54,630
and tell him something
wildly inappropriate

44
00:02:54,766 --> 00:02:56,269
and then come back to me.

45
00:02:56,405 --> 00:02:58,036
- I will.
- Oh, you will?

46
00:02:58,172 --> 00:02:59,537
- Mmm-hmm. Yeah. I got some--
- Oh, you will? Like what?

47
00:02:59,673 --> 00:03:01,303
- I'll say... [chuckles]
- What?

48
00:03:01,438 --> 00:03:03,176
I'll say we're having
a big old orgy tomorrow night

49
00:03:03,312 --> 00:03:04,310
and they're all invited.

50
00:03:04,445 --> 00:03:05,677
- [laughs]
- Ow!

51
00:03:05,813 --> 00:03:06,975
Ooh. No, no, no.
Be careful. Careful.

52
00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:08,686
All right.
That got me too excited.

53
00:03:08,821 --> 00:03:10,145
[both laugh]

54
00:03:11,054 --> 00:03:12,114
All right.

55
00:03:13,627 --> 00:03:14,718
Hey.

56
00:03:14,854 --> 00:03:16,052
- Sorry. Sorry, sorry.
- Hey.

57
00:03:25,765 --> 00:03:28,705

<i>Just a reminder to send in

<i>We're only two weeks out

59
00:03:31,177 --> 00:03:32,840

<i>Faith, come on.</i>

00:03:41,113 --> 00:03:42,683
<i>Polling has you
at a 46-point deadlock,</i>

still undecided.</i>

65
00:03:44,922 --> 00:03:46,891
<i>We need to push your plan

66

<i>in order to pull ahead.</i>

67
00:03:48,161 --> 00:03:49,685
But this case is my campaign.

68
00:03:49,821 --> 00:03:51,019
He's a dangerous criminal

69
00:03:51,155 --> 00:03:52,591
with a long history
of violence.

70
00:03:52,726 --> 00:03:54,422
I put James Sythe away, we win.

[sighs] <i>If you lose, you lose
your shot at being DA.</i>

00:03:56,028 --> 00:03:57,335
- All right. I got to go.
<i>- Faith--</i>

Hey. Excuse me!

00:04:13,853 --> 00:04:15,116
You, uh...

77
00:04:15,251 --> 00:04:16,211
You dropped this.

78
00:04:16,922 --> 00:04:18,323
Oh. I did.

79
00:04:18,458 --> 00:04:19,885
Oh, my God. Thank you.
You're a lifesaver.

80
00:04:20,020 --> 00:04:21,253
- No worries. Have a good day.
- [chuckles]

81
00:04:21,389 --> 00:04:22,591
Yeah. You too.

82
00:04:26,257 --> 00:04:28,190
- Through that door.
- [woman] Oh, thank you.

83
00:04:29,765 --> 00:04:31,461
Where do I go
for, uh, jury duty?

84
00:04:31,597 --> 00:04:32,601
Go down there.

85
00:04:34,939 --> 00:04:35,934
Thanks.

86
00:04:51,049 --> 00:04:53,450
[bailiff] All right, guys.
Eyes up.

87
00:04:53,586 --> 00:04:54,656
Pay attention.

[Faith] Ah. You're good.

99
00:05:20,444 --> 00:05:21,348
- Can I get you something else?
- [Faith] Mmm-mmm.

100
00:05:21,484 --> 00:05:22,782
You got something for me?

101
00:05:22,917 --> 00:05:24,783
[sighs] Okay.
Voluntary manslaughter

102
00:05:24,919 --> 00:05:26,458
with a recommendation
of 20 years.

103
00:05:26,593 --> 00:05:28,059
Fifteen to serve,
followed by five on probation.

104
00:05:28,195 --> 00:05:29,592
Wow. That's a hell of a deal.

105
00:05:29,727 --> 00:05:31,561
I will even waive
the recidivist statute

106
00:05:31,696 --> 00:05:33,155
if he pleads before
we strike the jury.

107
00:05:33,290 --> 00:05:34,793
And admit to something
he didn't do?

108
00:05:34,929 --> 00:05:37,600
[chuckles] Save it
for the jury.

109
00:05:37,736 --> 00:05:40,238
Better yet, why don't you
plead your guy out

110
00:05:40,374 --> 00:05:42,741
and say, free
for your caseload.

111
00:05:42,876 --> 00:05:43,870
Look... [sighs]

112
00:05:45,309 --> 00:05:46,908
my client wants a trial.

113
00:05:47,043 --> 00:05:50,177
Well, then, you're wasting
my time and your client's.

114
00:05:50,312 --> 00:05:51,306
Last chance.

115
00:05:53,315 --> 00:05:54,386
After you.

116
00:06:02,124 --> 00:06:06,189
The case you're about to hear
is an alleged homicide.

117
00:06:06,324 --> 00:06:08,867
The state is charging
James Michael Sythe

118
00:06:09,002 --> 00:06:10,367
with malice murder

119
00:06:10,503 --> 00:06:13,537
for the death
of Kendall Alice Carter.

120
00:06:13,672 --> 00:06:16,341
Now, if any of you have
a personal relationship

121
00:06:16,477 --> 00:06:18,510
with the accused,
and/or the deceased

122
00:06:18,645 --> 00:06:20,979
that will prohibit you
from serving on this panel

123
00:06:21,114 --> 00:06:22,914
in an unbiased manner,

124
00:06:23,049 --> 00:06:24,306
please speak now.

125
00:06:32,716 --> 00:06:33,689
Yes.

126
00:06:35,786 --> 00:06:36,994
[exhales]

127
00:06:37,130 --> 00:06:38,353
He used to ride my bus.

128
00:06:39,989 --> 00:06:41,158
And when was this?

129
00:06:42,535 --> 00:06:45,295
[sighs] I don't know.
Few years ago.

130
00:06:45,430 --> 00:06:48,933
Okay. Then there's no reason
we can't leave it there.

131
00:06:49,069 --> 00:06:51,438
I think you'll make
a fine juror.

132
00:06:51,573 --> 00:06:53,610
Does anyone else think

133
00:06:53,746 --> 00:06:56,976
that they're incapable
of serving on this panel?

134
00:06:58,247 --> 00:06:59,341
Yes.

135
00:07:01,184 --> 00:07:02,686
Uh...

136
00:07:02,821 --> 00:07:04,352
Your Honor, my wife
is in the third trimester

137
00:07:04,488 --> 00:07:06,114
of a high-risk pregnancy.

138
00:07:06,250 --> 00:07:08,587
I'd like to be
available to her.

139
00:07:08,723 --> 00:07:10,251
Well, that's commendable.

140
00:07:10,387 --> 00:07:12,354
What hours
do you normally work?

141
00:07:13,431 --> 00:07:15,366
Uh, 9:00 to 6:00, typically.

142
00:07:15,502 --> 00:07:17,129
Then you have my word
that this court

143
00:07:17,264 --> 00:07:20,901
will not demand one minute more
of your time than that.

144
00:07:22,601 --> 00:07:23,475
Yeah.

145
00:07:25,140 --> 00:07:27,078
See, the fact that
you don't want to be here

146
00:07:27,214 --> 00:07:28,744
is exactly what makes you

147
00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:31,879
the perfect group
to judicate this case.

148
00:07:33,218 --> 00:07:34,884
You are impartial.

149
00:07:35,020 --> 00:07:38,083
You have no skin in the game.
Nothing to gain or lose.

150
00:07:38,219 --> 00:07:40,651
And that is why I believe
that this process,

151
00:07:40,787 --> 00:07:43,594
as flawed as it may be,

152
00:07:43,729 --> 00:07:46,465
is still our best chance
at finding justice.

153
00:07:49,269 --> 00:07:51,600
Do you work, Mrs. Aldworth?

154
00:07:51,736 --> 00:07:53,497
Well, I had the toughest
job there is.

155
00:07:53,633 --> 00:07:55,670
I raised two kids
and just sent them off
to college.

156
00:07:55,806 --> 00:07:57,475
- Ah. Congratulations.
- Thank you.

157
00:07:57,611 --> 00:08:00,211
And have you ever served
on a jury before?

158
00:08:00,346 --> 00:08:02,673
Twice. Both were mistrials.

159
00:08:02,808 --> 00:08:04,682
Twice. Okay. Okay.

160
00:08:04,817 --> 00:08:08,647
Mr. King. Have you ever had
a physical altercation

161
00:08:08,783 --> 00:08:10,647
with a significant other?

162
00:08:10,782 --> 00:08:13,415
Are you gonna ask that question
to every guy in this courtroom?

163
00:08:15,328 --> 00:08:16,924
If I have to, I will. I...

164
00:08:17,060 --> 00:08:19,964
I know these questions
can be very personal--

165
00:08:20,099 --> 00:08:21,093
Nah, man.

166
00:08:21,926 --> 00:08:22,897
That ain't me.

167
00:08:25,962 --> 00:08:27,165
Thank you, sir.

168
00:08:29,305 --> 00:08:31,569
[Faith] How long have you lived
in the area, Mr. Chicowski?

169
00:08:31,704 --> 00:08:33,274
About ten years.

170
00:08:33,410 --> 00:08:34,706
And you, uh...

171
00:08:34,842 --> 00:08:36,003
Oh, you run a flower shop?

172
00:08:36,139 --> 00:08:38,176
Yeah. With my wife.

173
00:08:38,311 --> 00:08:40,275
Mr. Robinson, it says here
your wife has

174
00:08:40,410 --> 00:08:42,646
primary custody
of your daughter.

175
00:08:42,781 --> 00:08:43,753
Is that correct?

176
00:08:47,026 --> 00:08:48,791
Yeah.

177
00:08:48,927 --> 00:08:51,024
Do you mind if I ask you
who ended the marriage?

178
00:08:52,966 --> 00:08:53,862
She did.

179
00:08:55,268 --> 00:08:57,034
Thank you. All you.

180
00:08:57,169 --> 00:08:58,768
Mr. Kemp.

181
00:09:00,374 --> 00:09:01,634
And you're a magazine writer?

182
00:09:01,770 --> 00:09:03,035
[Justin] Uh, that's right.

183
00:09:03,170 --> 00:09:04,405
What kind of articles
do you write?

184
00:09:04,540 --> 00:09:06,005
Features, mostly.

185
00:09:06,141 --> 00:09:07,603
So you write
about a variety of topics?

186
00:09:07,739 --> 00:09:09,007
Yes.

187
00:09:09,143 --> 00:09:11,816
Ever written
about a murder trial?

188
00:09:11,951 --> 00:09:15,179
Uh, well, I write for
a regional lifestyle magazine

189
00:09:15,314 --> 00:09:17,187
so it's not exactly
<i>Vanity Fair.</i>

190
00:09:17,322 --> 00:09:18,848
[jurors chuckling]

191
00:09:18,983 --> 00:09:20,525
Take that as a no.

192
00:09:20,661 --> 00:09:22,790
Being a writer,
I imagine you read a lot.

193
00:09:22,926 --> 00:09:24,894
You've read anything
about this case?

194
00:09:25,029 --> 00:09:27,060
No. No. Today's the first
I've heard about it.

195
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,733
Well, then, I think you'll make

196
00:09:29,868 --> 00:09:32,869
a perfectly acceptable
member of this jury.

197
00:09:33,004 --> 00:09:35,706
All right. Does the defense
accept or challenge?

198
00:09:37,168 --> 00:09:39,942
We accept him, Your Honor.

199
00:09:40,078 --> 00:09:44,539
Good. Please enter Justin Kemp
as juror number two.

- [Ally] Hi!

201

- [Justin] Hi.
- [Ally] How did it go?

202
00:09:50,687 --> 00:09:51,915
- [sighs]
- [Ally] No.

203
00:09:52,051 --> 00:09:53,588
- I got picked.
- No.

204
00:09:53,723 --> 00:09:55,057
- Mmm.
- I'm so sorry.

205
00:09:55,193 --> 00:09:56,551
I know.

206
00:09:56,686 --> 00:09:57,858
What happened
to "wildly inappropriate"?

207
00:09:57,993 --> 00:09:58,854
Ah. Well,
I'm saving that for you.

208
00:09:58,989 --> 00:10:00,828
Oh, yeah?

209
00:10:00,963 --> 00:10:03,160
They said
it'll be a short trial.

210
00:10:03,296 --> 00:10:04,533
I feel like
they always say that,

211
00:10:04,668 --> 00:10:06,099
- but I hope so.
- I know.

212
00:10:06,899 --> 00:10:08,099
How was your day?

213
00:10:08,235 --> 00:10:10,465
It was okay.
I did this. [laughs]

214
00:10:10,601 --> 00:10:12,576
Yeah? It's good progress.
Looks good.

215
00:10:12,711 --> 00:10:14,544
- [laughs] Thank you.
- All day?

216
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,008
No, this did not
take me all day.

217
00:10:16,143 --> 00:10:17,913
- Yeah.
- I watched a documentary...

218
00:10:18,048 --> 00:10:21,378
- Mmm-hmm. What about?
- ...and I peed 94 times.

219
00:10:21,513 --> 00:10:23,982
- Ninety-four? Okay.
- And I ate some ice.

220
00:10:24,118 --> 00:10:25,247
- Ooh.
- Can I have some more?

221
00:10:25,383 --> 00:10:26,356
- You need some more? Ice?
- Yeah.

222
00:10:26,492 --> 00:10:27,890
Ice. Coming up. All right.

223
00:10:30,955 --> 00:10:32,521
[exhales]

224
00:10:41,403 --> 00:10:44,474
The people need to know
how I'll make this city safer.

225
00:10:44,609 --> 00:10:46,467
And women need to know that,

226
00:10:46,603 --> 00:10:48,270
if they're in
an abusive relationship,

227
00:10:48,405 --> 00:10:49,809
their community has their back.

228
00:10:49,944 --> 00:10:52,083
The rest? The rest is noise.

229
00:10:52,219 --> 00:10:53,410
So, thank you.

230
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:59,152
Thank you, guys.
Thank you for coming.

231
00:11:00,318 --> 00:11:01,592
Thank you. Thank you so much.

232
00:11:01,727 --> 00:11:04,188
Thank you. Hey!
Thank you so much.

233
00:11:04,323 --> 00:11:05,691
Thank you.
I really appreciate it.

234
00:11:05,827 --> 00:11:07,160
Thank you so much. Yeah.

235
00:11:08,797 --> 00:11:10,130
[man] Hey. Good job.

236
00:11:14,331 --> 00:11:16,598
- [sighs] Hey.
- Hey.

237
00:11:17,441 --> 00:11:18,406
Nice speech.

238
00:11:18,541 --> 00:11:20,041
[chuckles]

239
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:23,337
Thanks.

Mmm-hmm. Professor Nielsen.

242
00:11:27,850 --> 00:11:29,853
Yeah. No. Yeah, I remember.

243
00:11:31,314 --> 00:11:32,449
You still believe it?

244
00:11:34,392 --> 00:11:35,551
Of course.

245
00:11:36,994 --> 00:11:38,387
All right.
As long as it doesn't

246
00:11:38,523 --> 00:11:40,461
get in the way of a win,
though, right?

247
00:11:40,597 --> 00:11:42,927
Oh, my God.
If you got something to say,
Eric, just say it.

248
00:11:43,062 --> 00:11:45,727
Mmm. I'm saying, he...

249
00:11:45,863 --> 00:11:48,069
You know, he loves you.
You were his favorite student.

250

Are you really going there?

252
00:11:51,338 --> 00:11:53,673
- Yeah, I'm going there.

I'm a what?

A politician. [sighs]

257
00:12:06,251 --> 00:12:07,515
[Judge Thelma] Good morning.

258
00:12:07,651 --> 00:12:09,391
We will begin
with opening statements.

259
00:12:09,527 --> 00:12:10,762
Ms. Killebrew.

260
00:12:13,525 --> 00:12:16,397
Okay. The facts
of the case are these.

261
00:12:16,532 --> 00:12:19,934
One year ago, on October 25th,
the defendant, James Sythe,

262
00:12:20,070 --> 00:12:22,464
and his then-girlfriend,
Kendall Carter,

263
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,099
went drinking
at Rowdy's Hideaway

264
00:12:24,235 --> 00:12:25,337
on Old Quarry Road.

265
00:12:28,882 --> 00:12:30,914
[country rock music

266
00:12:33,977 --> 00:12:35,787
Come on. I walked all the way
up there and got it.

267
00:12:35,922 --> 00:12:37,646
- Take the drink.
- I'm already drunk, babe.

268
00:12:39,083 --> 00:12:40,121
[chuckles]

269
00:12:46,532 --> 00:12:48,030
[inaudible conversation]

270
00:12:54,066 --> 00:12:55,867
Things got tense.

271
00:12:56,002 --> 00:12:57,269
They had a fight.

272
00:12:57,404 --> 00:12:58,443
[Kendall] Not fair
what you're doing.

273
00:12:58,578 --> 00:12:59,942
[James] Hey, leave it alone.

274
00:13:00,078 --> 00:13:01,838
[Kendall] What the hell
is wrong with you?

275
00:13:01,974 --> 00:13:03,039
[James] I've already told you.
We're not moving in together.

276
00:13:03,175 --> 00:13:04,474
[Kendall] I'm not...

277
00:13:04,610 --> 00:13:06,048
- What is wrong with it?
- Stop pushing me.

278
00:13:06,183 --> 00:13:07,311
- I told you, stop...
- I'm not pushing you.

279
00:13:07,446 --> 00:13:08,118
- [gasps]
- I said stop pushing!

[Faith] <i>She stormed
out of the bar</i>

283
00:13:16,761 --> 00:13:18,159
<i>and he followed her.</i>

284
00:13:20,731 --> 00:13:22,063
The fight escalated,

285
00:13:22,199 --> 00:13:24,132
and things quickly
got out of control.

286
00:13:25,832 --> 00:13:27,505
Hey.

287
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:28,971
What the hell are you doing?

288
00:13:29,107 --> 00:13:30,868
- What are you doing?
- Get away from me.

289
00:13:31,003 --> 00:13:32,270
Don't touch me.

290
00:13:32,406 --> 00:13:34,109
- How dare you?
- Are you kidding me?

291
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:42,916
[Eric] It was par
for the course.

292
00:13:43,052 --> 00:13:44,754
They'd argue. They'd break up.

293
00:13:44,889 --> 00:13:46,349
And they'd make up the next day

294
00:13:46,485 --> 00:13:47,886
after they both
had calmed down.

295
00:13:48,022 --> 00:13:51,086
It was basically a game.

296
00:13:51,221 --> 00:13:54,224
[Faith] Now, this couple
had a history of violent
interactions,

297
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,325
but this time she was serious.

298
00:13:57,460 --> 00:13:58,935
She was done with him.

299
00:13:59,071 --> 00:14:02,533
So she left and headed
down the road, on foot.

300

[tense music playing]

301
00:14:16,012 --> 00:14:19,551
[Eric] So this was just
another typical night of drama.

302
00:14:19,686 --> 00:14:23,158
So James Sythe got in his car
and he drove home.

303
00:14:25,192 --> 00:14:27,855
He flew into a violent rage

304
00:14:27,991 --> 00:14:31,067
and followed Kendall Carter
down the road...

305
00:14:32,629 --> 00:14:34,565
where he proceeded to kill her.

[Faith] He beat her viciously.

00:14:57,593 --> 00:15:00,195
He pushed her over a railing
to the creek below...

312
00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:03,099
and left her to die.

James Sythe didn't attack her

316
00:15:52,709 --> 00:15:54,408
and he couldn't have pushed her

317
00:15:54,544 --> 00:15:56,779
because he wasn't there.

is an innocent man.

324
00:16:16,509 --> 00:16:17,701
Thank you.

325
00:16:24,748 --> 00:16:26,941
[retching]

326
00:16:30,248 --> 00:16:31,312
[flushes]

327
00:16:31,447 --> 00:16:32,991
[sighing]

328
00:16:43,294 --> 00:16:45,199
Damn, man.

329
00:16:45,335 --> 00:16:47,005
- You... You all right?
- Mmm-hmm.

330
00:16:48,372 --> 00:16:50,635
Yeah. Just those
crime scene pictures.

331
00:16:51,635 --> 00:16:52,967
Never had a strong stomach.

332
00:16:53,941 --> 00:16:55,573
Yeah.

333
00:16:55,709 --> 00:16:57,312
All right.
Well, you have a good night.

334
00:16:57,946 --> 00:16:58,940
You, too.

335
00:17:13,229 --> 00:17:14,659
[all] God grant me the serenity

336
00:17:14,794 --> 00:17:17,398
to accept the things
that I cannot change,

337
00:17:17,534 --> 00:17:20,201
the courage to change
the things that I can,

338
00:17:20,336 --> 00:17:22,733
and the wisdom
to know the difference.

339
00:17:24,139 --> 00:17:25,235
Great work, everybody.

340
00:17:25,370 --> 00:17:26,744
Keep coming back.

341
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,844
[all] It works if you work it.

342
00:17:28,979 --> 00:17:30,180
Great job, everybody.

343
00:17:31,344 --> 00:17:32,347
[man] Right on, bro!

344
00:17:35,181 --> 00:17:36,551
Hey, Justin.

345
00:17:36,687 --> 00:17:37,720
Hey!

346
00:17:37,856 --> 00:17:39,153
You were quiet tonight.

347
00:17:39,289 --> 00:17:41,385
Yeah. I've got
a lot on my mind.

348
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,056
Yeah, I can tell. [chuckles]

349
00:17:43,192 --> 00:17:45,790
You want to talk about it?

350
00:17:45,925 --> 00:17:49,061
Okay, look, whatever it is,
my advice is the same.

351
00:17:49,197 --> 00:17:51,067
You know what to do.

352
00:17:51,202 --> 00:17:52,895
We're only as sick
as our secrets.

353
00:17:53,902 --> 00:17:54,937
Yeah.

354
00:17:55,073 --> 00:17:56,239
Okay, I'm always here for you.

355
00:18:10,548 --> 00:18:12,123
[tense music playing]

356
00:18:44,450 --> 00:18:45,953
[man] Working late?

357
00:18:46,088 --> 00:18:47,122
[keyboard clacks]

358
00:18:47,257 --> 00:18:48,654
Be out of your way in a minute.

359
00:18:48,789 --> 00:18:49,919
Nah, take as long as you want,
I'll come back.

360
00:19:15,954 --> 00:19:17,779
- Hey.
- Hey.

361
00:19:17,914 --> 00:19:20,317
- Sorry I'm late.
- That's okay.

362
00:19:20,453 --> 00:19:21,515
How was the meeting?

363
00:19:21,650 --> 00:19:23,084
It was good.

364
00:19:23,219 --> 00:19:25,091
I stayed after
to talk with Larry for a bit.

365
00:19:25,227 --> 00:19:26,456
[breathing heavily]

366
00:19:26,591 --> 00:19:27,997
You okay? Your heart.

367
00:19:28,132 --> 00:19:30,333
- Hmm?
- Are you okay?

368
00:19:31,704 --> 00:19:32,698
Yeah, I'm good.

369
00:19:34,007 --> 00:19:35,635
Everything's going to be fine.

370
00:19:37,309 --> 00:19:39,104
We're going
to be a family soon.

371
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,768
[Justin] Hmm.

372
00:19:40,904 --> 00:19:43,005
Very soon, I hope. [chuckles]

373
00:19:43,815 --> 00:19:46,250
[sighing]

374
00:19:52,620 --> 00:19:55,352
- [tires screeching]
- [gasping]

375
00:19:55,488 --> 00:19:56,517
[breathing heavily]

376
00:19:56,652 --> 00:19:57,624
What the...

377
00:20:11,102 --> 00:20:13,473
I'd seen them in there before.
A couple times.

378
00:20:13,608 --> 00:20:16,072
Um, it was always
the same thing.

379
00:20:16,207 --> 00:20:19,173
They would start off
fun and flirty, and then,

380
00:20:19,308 --> 00:20:21,718
after a few drinks,
things would change.

381
00:20:21,853 --> 00:20:23,479
Change, how?

382
00:20:23,615 --> 00:20:25,818
That night, she came in,

383
00:20:25,953 --> 00:20:29,859
trying to talk to him,
like, seriously, you know?

384
00:20:29,995 --> 00:20:32,855
But he wasn't having it.

385
00:20:32,991 --> 00:20:34,197
[Kendall]
What's wrong with you?

386
00:20:34,333 --> 00:20:35,695
What, do you want me
to disagree?

387
00:20:35,830 --> 00:20:37,301
No. I want you to say,
"I love you, too."

388
00:20:38,199 --> 00:20:39,500
I basically did.

389
00:20:39,635 --> 00:20:40,664
I want you to say,
"I love you, too."

390
00:20:40,799 --> 00:20:42,101
Read between the goddamn lines,

391
00:20:42,236 --> 00:20:43,869
I said, "Yeah."

392
00:20:44,004 --> 00:20:45,408
- [Kendall] What lines?
- [James] I'm sick of this shit.

393
00:20:45,543 --> 00:20:46,737
[Kendall] What lines
are you talking about?

394
00:20:46,873 --> 00:20:47,535
[James] Hey,
get out of my face!

395
00:20:47,670 --> 00:20:49,038
[Kendall gasps]

396
00:20:49,173 --> 00:20:52,607
[woman] <i>He got mad.
Like, scary.</i>

397
00:20:52,742 --> 00:20:54,142
<i>She leaves.</i>

398
00:20:56,379 --> 00:20:59,556
<i>He follows her outside.
So I started following.</i>

399
00:20:59,692 --> 00:21:00,687
Hey!

400
00:21:01,753 --> 00:21:03,156
What the hell are you doing?

401
00:21:03,292 --> 00:21:04,586
What are you doing?

402
00:21:04,721 --> 00:21:05,725
I want to go home.

403
00:21:07,767 --> 00:21:09,762
- I don't want
to do this anymore.
- [James] Do what?

404
00:21:09,897 --> 00:21:11,892
[Kendall] I'm done.
You're embarrassing!

405
00:21:12,027 --> 00:21:13,203
What are you talking about?

406
00:21:13,338 --> 00:21:14,536
Who cares
what these idiots think?

407
00:21:16,836 --> 00:21:18,670
What are you going to do?
Hit me?

408
00:21:18,805 --> 00:21:20,101
- Relax. I'm sorry.
- Don't touch me.

409
00:21:20,236 --> 00:21:21,475
- It was...
- What are you going to do?

410
00:21:21,611 --> 00:21:23,439
- How dare you?
- Are you kidding me?

411
00:21:23,574 --> 00:21:24,579
Bring it on!

412
00:21:26,947 --> 00:21:28,781
You better get the fuck
out of here right now.

413
00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:31,719
[crowd murmuring]

414
00:21:31,854 --> 00:21:35,491
Fine, walk home, in the rain,
you stupid bitch!

415
00:21:38,894 --> 00:21:41,123
- And, Kendall, we ain't over!
- I'm done, James.

416
00:21:42,935 --> 00:21:45,094
[crowd murmuring]

417
00:21:50,337 --> 00:21:52,205
So she left,

418
00:21:52,341 --> 00:21:53,837
then what happened?

419
00:21:53,973 --> 00:21:55,946
He followed her
out of the parking lot

420
00:21:56,082 --> 00:21:58,074
and onto Old Quarry Road.

421
00:21:58,210 --> 00:22:00,912
Thank you. No further
questions, Your Honor.

422
00:22:02,619 --> 00:22:05,147
So you saw him walk down
Old Quarry Road?

423
00:22:05,758 --> 00:22:07,488
Yes.

424
00:22:07,624 --> 00:22:08,958
Did you know
that his car was parked

425
00:22:09,094 --> 00:22:10,119
down on Old Quarry Road?

426
00:22:11,489 --> 00:22:12,528
No.

427
00:22:13,557 --> 00:22:15,131
No.

428
00:22:15,267 --> 00:22:16,791
Were you drinking that night?

429
00:22:16,926 --> 00:22:18,127
Objection, Your Honor.

430
00:22:18,761 --> 00:22:20,400
Overruled.

431
00:22:20,536 --> 00:22:22,032
Were you drinking that night?

432
00:22:23,105 --> 00:22:24,407
Yes.

433
00:22:24,543 --> 00:22:27,308
So you don't know
how far he followed her

434
00:22:27,444 --> 00:22:30,805
down Old Quarry Road, do you?

435
00:22:30,940 --> 00:22:32,515
No. Um, at that point,

436
00:22:32,650 --> 00:22:34,946
I had stopped filming
and I went back inside.

437
00:22:36,285 --> 00:22:38,347
No more questions.

438
00:22:38,483 --> 00:22:40,915
[Judge Thelma] Does the State
have any more questions?

439
00:22:41,051 --> 00:22:42,525
No more questions, Your Honor.

440
00:22:46,797 --> 00:22:49,132
[Judge Thelma] Thank you.
You may step down.

441
00:22:49,267 --> 00:22:51,699
I was at the bar till close.

442
00:22:51,834 --> 00:22:54,535
I didn't see either one of them
come back in.

443
00:22:54,671 --> 00:22:55,897
And then the next day,
I opened,

444
00:22:56,032 --> 00:22:57,408
and I did what I always do.

445
00:22:57,543 --> 00:22:59,905
I took the night's trash
out to the dumpster.

446
00:23:03,472 --> 00:23:06,483
Miss! Miss!
I'm sorry. I need your help.

447
00:23:06,618 --> 00:23:09,519
Because of the rain
the night before...

448
00:23:09,654 --> 00:23:11,851
<i>the trails were
all muddy and wet.</i>

449
00:23:15,058 --> 00:23:16,988
<i>So I had to cut up
to Old Quarry by the bridge</i>

450
00:23:17,123 --> 00:23:18,726
<i>in order to get back
to the road.</i>

451
00:23:19,956 --> 00:23:21,597
[tense music playing]

452
00:23:22,992 --> 00:23:24,864
[breathing heavily]

453
00:23:36,875 --> 00:23:38,148
Right. And just to be clear,

454
00:23:38,284 --> 00:23:40,143
when you found Kendall Carter,

455
00:23:40,943 --> 00:23:42,211
she was dead?

456
00:23:44,523 --> 00:23:47,249
Her head was
in a pool of blood.

457
00:23:48,489 --> 00:23:49,592
It was awful.

458
00:23:52,763 --> 00:23:54,295
Thank you for your testimony,
Mr. Reed.

459
00:23:54,430 --> 00:23:55,598
I know it isn't easy.

460
00:23:57,102 --> 00:23:58,095
That's all I have.

461
00:24:00,404 --> 00:24:02,099
Mr. Resnick, your witness.

462
00:24:03,404 --> 00:24:05,204
Mr. Reed,

463
00:24:05,340 --> 00:24:08,039
you hike those trails
in the woods frequently,
don't you?

464
00:24:09,278 --> 00:24:10,344
Yes, sir.

465
00:24:10,479 --> 00:24:12,177
Twice a week at least.

466
00:24:12,313 --> 00:24:14,848
In your opinion, is the hike
down the hillside difficult?

467
00:24:15,613 --> 00:24:17,418
Yes.

468
00:24:17,554 --> 00:24:19,323
I assume you wear hiking boots

469
00:24:19,459 --> 00:24:21,052
when you hike, Mr. Reed?
Is that correct?

470
00:24:23,028 --> 00:24:24,318
Of course.

471
00:24:24,453 --> 00:24:27,531
This is a picture
of Kendall Carter

472
00:24:27,667 --> 00:24:31,363
the morning you found her
below Old Quarry Road.

473
00:24:31,498 --> 00:24:33,933
Can you please tell us
what kind of shoes
she's wearing?

474
00:24:37,065 --> 00:24:38,135
Looks like heels.

475
00:24:40,077 --> 00:24:42,174
Heels.

476
00:24:42,310 --> 00:24:45,010
And if she's walking along
the edge of Old Quarry Road

477
00:24:45,145 --> 00:24:49,617
in a blinding rainstorm
at night, in heels,

478
00:24:49,753 --> 00:24:52,848
and she suddenly
lost her footing,

479
00:24:52,984 --> 00:24:54,781
it'd be next to impossible

480
00:24:54,917 --> 00:24:56,791
to prevent herself
from falling,
isn't that correct?

481
00:24:59,690 --> 00:25:00,630
Yes.

482
00:25:03,761 --> 00:25:04,700
Thank you.

483
00:25:06,670 --> 00:25:09,003
She landed
in a posterior position,

484
00:25:09,138 --> 00:25:12,840
which suggests she was pushed,
as opposed to a fall.

485
00:25:12,975 --> 00:25:15,211
Rigor mortis indicated
the victim had been dead

486
00:25:15,346 --> 00:25:16,914
for around nine hours.

487
00:25:17,049 --> 00:25:18,246
[Faith] Hmm.

488
00:25:18,382 --> 00:25:19,781
And the cause of death?

489
00:25:19,916 --> 00:25:22,049
The severity of her
skull fractures suggests

490
00:25:22,185 --> 00:25:25,281
she was struck
with a non-specific
blunt instrument.

491
00:25:26,687 --> 00:25:28,658
And the manner of death?

492
00:25:29,820 --> 00:25:30,825
Homicide.

493
00:25:33,126 --> 00:25:34,994
[Faith] Thank you.
No more questions.

494
00:25:38,362 --> 00:25:40,965
The witness is yours,
Mr. Resnick.

495
00:25:41,101 --> 00:25:43,034
Is it possible
that she sustained

496
00:25:43,170 --> 00:25:45,206
her head injuries
from hitting the rocks?

497
00:25:45,341 --> 00:25:47,041
Possible, sure,

498
00:25:47,177 --> 00:25:48,341
but in my
professional opinion,
it's not likely.

499
00:25:48,477 --> 00:25:49,943
But possible.

500
00:25:53,043 --> 00:25:54,013
That's all from me.

501
00:25:59,187 --> 00:26:01,790
Thank you for your testimony.
You may step down.

502
00:26:06,157 --> 00:26:07,693
On October 25th of last year,

503
00:26:07,829 --> 00:26:09,199
you lived on Old Quarry Road.

504
00:26:09,335 --> 00:26:11,266
- Correct?
- Yes.

505
00:26:11,401 --> 00:26:13,067
And do you remember
anything unusual happening
that evening?

506
00:26:13,202 --> 00:26:16,396
I saw a man get out of his car
[chuckles] in a storm.

507
00:26:16,532 --> 00:26:17,802
Do you remember
what time that was?

508
00:26:17,937 --> 00:26:20,072
It was 11:48 on the button.

509
00:26:20,939 --> 00:26:22,074
I looked at the clock.

510
00:26:22,873 --> 00:26:24,607
I heard thunder,

511
00:26:24,742 --> 00:26:27,079
and so I went to the window,
and lightning lit up the sky.

512
00:26:28,550 --> 00:26:29,483
<i>There he was.</i>

513
00:26:29,619 --> 00:26:31,216
[Faith] What was he doing?

514
00:26:31,352 --> 00:26:34,548
He looked around, he went over
to the side of the road.

515
00:26:37,088 --> 00:26:39,562
Peered over the railing...

516
00:26:39,697 --> 00:26:43,434
got back in his car
and drove off.

517
00:26:43,569 --> 00:26:44,965
And is that man
you saw that night

518
00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:46,467
here in the courtroom
today, do you know?

519
00:26:46,602 --> 00:26:47,671
Can you point him out?

520
00:26:49,933 --> 00:26:50,938
[coin clatters]

521
00:26:52,905 --> 00:26:54,139
Yes, he is here today.

522
00:26:55,875 --> 00:26:58,310
That's him right there.

523
00:26:58,446 --> 00:27:00,582
Let the record reflect that
the witness has identified

524
00:27:00,718 --> 00:27:02,746
the man he saw
as the defendant,

525
00:27:02,882 --> 00:27:05,619
James Michael Sythe.

526
00:27:05,755 --> 00:27:07,086
No more questions, Your Honor.

527
00:27:09,025 --> 00:27:11,228
All right. This feels
like a good time

528
00:27:11,363 --> 00:27:13,424
to break for the day.

529
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,656
This court is in recess until
9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning

530
00:27:16,792 --> 00:27:19,527
when we will pick up here
where we left off.

531
00:27:31,779 --> 00:27:32,815
Justin, what's going on?

532
00:27:34,945 --> 00:27:36,049
I need a lawyer.

533
00:27:38,016 --> 00:27:40,287
Okay. Give me a dollar.

534
00:27:40,423 --> 00:27:42,455
And I'm not joking, that gives
us attorney-client privilege.

535
00:27:42,590 --> 00:27:43,584
Take a seat.

536
00:27:46,894 --> 00:27:48,730
So I went to clear my head,

537
00:27:48,866 --> 00:27:51,229
and found myself
at Rowdy's Hideaway...

538
00:27:52,937 --> 00:27:54,699
Ordered a drink
and sat there for a while,

539
00:27:54,835 --> 00:27:56,331
then I got up and left.

540
00:27:56,466 --> 00:27:59,332
I got to the car.
It was raining.

541
00:27:59,468 --> 00:28:00,940
I turned back onto Old Quarry,

542
00:28:01,076 --> 00:28:03,004
I went about
a quarter of a mile

543
00:28:03,140 --> 00:28:04,473
and I hit something.

544
00:28:06,049 --> 00:28:07,243
I got out of the car
and I looked around.

545
00:28:07,379 --> 00:28:08,752
I checked,
I didn't see anything,

546
00:28:08,887 --> 00:28:11,283
and I figured it was
a deer that ran off,

547
00:28:11,418 --> 00:28:14,186
and then I got back
in the car and went home.

548
00:28:17,419 --> 00:28:19,594
Okay, what's the problem?

549
00:28:19,729 --> 00:28:21,764
I got called for jury duty.

550
00:28:21,899 --> 00:28:24,326
- The Kendall Carter case?
- Mmm-hmm.

551
00:28:24,462 --> 00:28:27,795
And they found her body
in a creek bed,

552
00:28:27,931 --> 00:28:30,664
about a quarter mile from
Rowdy's Hideaway last October.

553
00:28:33,709 --> 00:28:34,910
What are you telling me?

554
00:28:35,908 --> 00:28:37,341
[breathes heavily]

555
00:28:38,374 --> 00:28:39,673
Maybe I didn't hit a deer.

556
00:28:41,252 --> 00:28:42,247
[sighs]

557
00:28:43,679 --> 00:28:45,217
[stammers] I don't know
what to do.

558
00:28:47,288 --> 00:28:48,656
You were at a bar
and you had a drink?

559
00:28:48,791 --> 00:28:50,226
Yes, but I didn't touch it.

560
00:28:50,361 --> 00:28:51,525
Doesn't matter.

561
00:28:51,661 --> 00:28:52,859
Given your history,

562
00:28:52,994 --> 00:28:54,290
there isn't a jury in the world

563
00:28:54,425 --> 00:28:55,931
that would believe
you were sober.

564
00:28:56,066 --> 00:28:57,559
But if I was
coming forward voluntarily,

565
00:28:57,694 --> 00:28:59,199
that has to count
for something, right?

566
00:28:59,334 --> 00:29:00,502
If I come forward
and I tell them the truth...

567
00:29:00,637 --> 00:29:01,869
Then your prior DUIs,

568
00:29:02,005 --> 00:29:03,497
and the fact
that you were at a bar,

569
00:29:03,633 --> 00:29:04,839
gives the State
reason to charge you

570
00:29:04,975 --> 00:29:06,310
with first-degree
vehicular homicide

571
00:29:06,445 --> 00:29:07,541
or even felony murder.

572
00:29:07,677 --> 00:29:09,442
That's 30 years to life.

573
00:29:09,577 --> 00:29:10,878
What?

574
00:29:11,013 --> 00:29:12,373
If you were to
come forward right now,

575
00:29:12,508 --> 00:29:13,916
you will be completely screwed.

576
00:29:16,486 --> 00:29:17,417
That's it?

577
00:29:17,552 --> 00:29:18,547
Uh...

578
00:29:21,017 --> 00:29:21,990
[sighs]

579
00:29:22,888 --> 00:29:23,893
I'm sorry.

580
00:29:26,723 --> 00:29:29,096
[Eric] The defense calls
James Sythe, Your Honor.

581
00:29:32,532 --> 00:29:34,802
[Judge Thelma] Please raise
your right hand.

582
00:29:34,937 --> 00:29:36,564
Do you swear to tell the truth,

583
00:29:36,700 --> 00:29:38,835
the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth,

584
00:29:38,970 --> 00:29:40,001
so help you God?

585
00:29:40,136 --> 00:29:41,311
Yes, Your Honor.

586
00:29:41,447 --> 00:29:43,671
All right. Have a seat.

587
00:29:46,951 --> 00:29:49,242
Please state your name
for the record.

588
00:29:49,378 --> 00:29:51,118
Uh, James Michael Sythe.

589
00:29:53,453 --> 00:29:54,924
[Judge Thelma]
Mr. Resnick, your witness.

590
00:29:55,059 --> 00:29:57,427
Okay, James, let's talk
about what happened

591
00:29:57,563 --> 00:29:58,957
the night of October 25th.

592
00:29:59,093 --> 00:30:00,230
Can you tell us what happened?

593
00:30:00,365 --> 00:30:02,125
Yeah, um...

594
00:30:02,261 --> 00:30:03,667
Kendall and I went to Rowdy's

595
00:30:03,803 --> 00:30:06,331
to have a few drinks,
get some food.

596
00:30:07,697 --> 00:30:09,770
We were having fun,
shots and pool,

597
00:30:09,905 --> 00:30:12,041
played some darts, you know.

598
00:30:12,177 --> 00:30:15,435
Now, there's been testimony
that you guys argued.

599
00:30:15,570 --> 00:30:17,646
You don't deny that, do you?

600
00:30:17,781 --> 00:30:19,815
[James] No. No, yeah. Um...

601
00:30:19,951 --> 00:30:22,618
She got really drunk
and she was...

602
00:30:22,754 --> 00:30:23,821
She was giving me a hard time.

603
00:30:24,687 --> 00:30:26,550
What do you mean?

604
00:30:26,685 --> 00:30:29,053
She'd been going on
about us moving in together

605
00:30:29,189 --> 00:30:30,818
for a couple of weeks and I...

606
00:30:30,954 --> 00:30:32,528
<i>just kept telling her
that I didn't think</i>

607
00:30:32,663 --> 00:30:34,254
<i>that I was ready.</i>

608
00:30:34,390 --> 00:30:35,360
We'll... We'll see.

609
00:30:37,101 --> 00:30:39,059
- We'll see.
- What do you mean "We'll see"?

610
00:30:39,194 --> 00:30:41,630
And she just wasn't having it.
She said I didn't love her.

611
00:30:43,532 --> 00:30:45,067
And, uh, she stormed out.

612
00:30:45,203 --> 00:30:46,536
And then what happened?

613
00:30:47,746 --> 00:30:49,779
We argued in the parking lot.

614
00:30:49,915 --> 00:30:51,308
I don't want
to do this anymore.

615
00:30:51,443 --> 00:30:53,279
- Do what?
- I want to go home.

616
00:30:53,979 --> 00:30:55,247
I'm done.

617
00:30:55,382 --> 00:30:56,711
Fine. Get out of here.
Go walk home.

618
00:30:58,856 --> 00:31:01,089
Go walk home then. In the rain.

619
00:31:04,823 --> 00:31:07,157
<i>And she was just
out of her head, you know?</i>

620
00:31:07,292 --> 00:31:09,559
<i>Screaming at me and walked off.</i>

621
00:31:10,703 --> 00:31:12,768
[Eric] <i>And what did you do?</i>

622
00:31:12,904 --> 00:31:14,728
[James] <i>Followed her, at first,</i>

623
00:31:14,863 --> 00:31:17,336
<i>but it was cold,
it was raining.</i>

624
00:31:18,634 --> 00:31:20,676
I remember getting in my car.

625
00:31:20,811 --> 00:31:22,236
So I was parked next to, uh,

626
00:31:22,372 --> 00:31:23,980
<i>mile marker 217.</i>

627
00:31:27,186 --> 00:31:30,888
<i>My niece is born
February 17th, so that just...</i>

628
00:31:33,081 --> 00:31:35,190
<i>I don't know, pulled me
out of everything,</i>

629
00:31:35,325 --> 00:31:37,928
<i>then I turned around
and just drove home.</i>

630
00:31:44,894 --> 00:31:47,868
And, um, we'd see
each other the next day,

631
00:31:48,004 --> 00:31:49,533
and we'd work it out, like...

632
00:31:51,036 --> 00:31:52,041
like always.

633
00:31:54,008 --> 00:31:57,539
Look, was I stupid?

634
00:31:57,675 --> 00:32:00,212
For not wanting
to move in with her?

635
00:32:00,347 --> 00:32:02,216
So I could see
her face every day?

636
00:32:04,215 --> 00:32:05,186
Absolutely, yeah.

637
00:32:07,082 --> 00:32:09,355
But I could never put
my hands on her like that.

638
00:32:13,732 --> 00:32:15,262
I couldn't do that to her.

639
00:32:16,293 --> 00:32:17,495
I... I loved her.

640
00:32:20,199 --> 00:32:22,930
Now, look, I understand,

641
00:32:23,065 --> 00:32:26,109
with my past,
and the mistakes
that I've made,

642
00:32:26,244 --> 00:32:28,737
I know what you're thinking,
I do. And I get it.

643
00:32:31,582 --> 00:32:33,242
But I'm...

644
00:32:33,378 --> 00:32:35,084
I'm not that guy anymore.

645
00:32:36,215 --> 00:32:37,416
Okay, I've changed.

646
00:32:39,422 --> 00:32:41,420
I left that life behind me,
and I, you know...

647
00:32:41,555 --> 00:32:43,257
[voice breaks] I thought
I was doing really good.

648
00:32:45,228 --> 00:32:47,822
[sighs] I don't know
what happened.

649
00:32:48,766 --> 00:32:49,862
I went home. I drove...

650
00:32:49,998 --> 00:32:51,265
I just... I drove home.

651
00:32:57,802 --> 00:32:59,801
I know how difficult
this is for you, James.

652
00:33:01,912 --> 00:33:03,779
You take your time, and...

653
00:33:03,915 --> 00:33:05,312
let me know when you're ready.

654
00:33:07,211 --> 00:33:08,183
I'm good.

655
00:33:10,649 --> 00:33:13,088
I'm gonna show you
a video now, okay?

656
00:33:13,224 --> 00:33:14,849
And then I'm gonna
ask you some questions.

00:33:27,998 --> 00:33:29,600

- I love you, too.</i>

<i>Did you miss or make it?</i>

666

[Kendall] <i>No, I didn't make it.</i>

667
00:33:37,013 --> 00:33:38,677
[James] <i>You missed it.</i>

668

<i>Well, let me help you.
You're good luck. Come here.</i>

669
00:33:41,851 --> 00:33:42,811
[Kendall] <i>I was.</i>

[Kendall kisses]

[James] <i>Okay,
turn that shit off.</i>

672
00:33:51,729 --> 00:33:52,920
[Kendall] <i>Okay.</i>

673
00:33:56,692 --> 00:33:57,694
[Eric] Who took that video?

674
00:33:58,668 --> 00:33:59,663
Kendall.

675
00:34:01,671 --> 00:34:02,604
When?

676
00:34:02,740 --> 00:34:04,074
October 25th.

677
00:34:05,237 --> 00:34:06,241
Of last year.

678
00:34:06,875 --> 00:34:08,045
And where?

679
00:34:09,308 --> 00:34:11,081
At Rowdy's Hideaway.

680
00:34:14,449 --> 00:34:16,482
Thank you, James.
No more questions.

681
00:34:20,386 --> 00:34:21,883
Prosecution, your witness.

682
00:34:22,660 --> 00:34:24,117
Mr. Sythe,

683
00:34:24,252 --> 00:34:27,057
you just stated that
you loved Kendall Carter.

684
00:34:27,193 --> 00:34:28,965
Is that right?

685
00:34:29,101 --> 00:34:31,230
- More than anything.
- [Faith] Hmm.

686
00:34:31,365 --> 00:34:32,993
And on the night
of October 25th,

687
00:34:33,128 --> 00:34:34,768
you and Kendall drove
to Rowdy's Hideaway.

688
00:34:34,904 --> 00:34:35,837
Is that right?

689
00:34:35,972 --> 00:34:38,403
We took my car, yeah.

690
00:34:38,538 --> 00:34:39,667
And when you got there,
the two of you

691
00:34:39,803 --> 00:34:41,034
started drinking,
is that right?

692
00:34:42,208 --> 00:34:44,344
Yeah. It's a bar.

693
00:34:44,479 --> 00:34:46,274
And then the two of you
started arguing.

694
00:34:46,410 --> 00:34:47,447
Is that right?

695
00:34:48,212 --> 00:34:49,042
Yeah.

696
00:34:50,581 --> 00:34:51,978
And during this argument,

697
00:34:52,113 --> 00:34:54,447
you knocked a beer bottle
off the table.

698
00:34:54,583 --> 00:34:55,719
Is that right?

699
00:34:57,225 --> 00:34:59,293
Yeah, it was an accident.

700
00:34:59,429 --> 00:35:02,455
And then she left,
and you went after her.

701
00:35:02,591 --> 00:35:03,499
Is that right?

702
00:35:03,634 --> 00:35:05,191
Yeah.

703
00:35:05,326 --> 00:35:08,805
And outside, the argument
continued, and... [scoffs]

704
00:35:08,940 --> 00:35:11,073
it is your sworn testimony,

705
00:35:11,209 --> 00:35:13,471
that you left
Kendall Carter alone

706
00:35:13,607 --> 00:35:15,871
to walk down
a narrow two-lane road

707
00:35:16,006 --> 00:35:18,905
in the dark, drunk,
in the pouring rain,

708
00:35:19,041 --> 00:35:20,942
in the middle
of a thunderstorm.

709
00:35:23,046 --> 00:35:24,946
Is that how you treat
someone you love?

710
00:35:29,819 --> 00:35:31,084
No more questions, Your Honor.

711
00:35:33,992 --> 00:35:36,230
Are there any further questions
from the defense?

712
00:35:36,365 --> 00:35:39,335
No, Your Honor.
The defense rests.

713
00:35:39,470 --> 00:35:42,403
Thank you for your testimony,
you can step down.

714
00:35:51,315 --> 00:35:52,610
[Judge Thelma]
Members of the jury,

715
00:35:52,745 --> 00:35:54,882
the evidence in this case
is now closed.

716
00:35:55,018 --> 00:35:56,317
Attorneys, you may give

717
00:35:56,452 --> 00:35:58,681
your closing arguments
at this time.

718
00:35:58,817 --> 00:36:00,883
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury...

719
00:36:02,822 --> 00:36:06,455
Kendall Carter's murder
was a savage crime

720
00:36:06,591 --> 00:36:08,462
committed by an evil man.

721
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,298
[Eric] <i>An innocent man.</i>

722
00:36:11,433 --> 00:36:15,027
An innocent man
who was shattered

723
00:36:15,163 --> 00:36:18,606
from losing
the love of his life.

724
00:36:18,741 --> 00:36:20,810
We have an eyewitness
who saw him at the crime scene

725
00:36:20,945 --> 00:36:23,039
at the time of death.

726
00:36:23,175 --> 00:36:26,348
In the middle of the night,
in a blinding rainstorm...

727
00:36:27,381 --> 00:36:28,712
it could have been anyone.

728
00:36:28,848 --> 00:36:30,711
When she broke up
with him that night,

729
00:36:30,847 --> 00:36:33,315
and he realized she meant it,

730
00:36:33,450 --> 00:36:34,521
he snapped.

731
00:36:35,884 --> 00:36:37,523
And so he bludgeoned her.

732
00:36:37,658 --> 00:36:40,956
No murder weapon
was recovered. Nothing.

733
00:36:41,765 --> 00:36:43,123
Nothing.

734
00:36:43,258 --> 00:36:46,229
The defendant's DNA
was all over the victim.

735
00:36:46,365 --> 00:36:47,631
No one else's.

736
00:36:47,767 --> 00:36:49,403
[Eric] The State says
there was DNA.

737
00:36:49,538 --> 00:36:52,038
Of course, there was DNA.
Of course.

738
00:36:52,174 --> 00:36:53,540
They were a couple.

739
00:36:53,675 --> 00:36:56,042
[Faith] Yeah, of course,
they were a couple.

740
00:36:56,178 --> 00:36:57,707
Until they weren't.

741
00:36:57,842 --> 00:37:01,844
James Sythe bravely
took the stand

742
00:37:01,980 --> 00:37:04,447
and admitted
to some difficult truths.

743
00:37:04,582 --> 00:37:06,014
[Faith] That? [scoffs]

744
00:37:06,149 --> 00:37:08,885
That was all a performance,
nothing else.

745
00:37:09,661 --> 00:37:11,424
Look...

746
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,727
I think we can
all agree on this.

747
00:37:14,862 --> 00:37:18,059
The person responsible
for Kendall Carter's death

748
00:37:19,037 --> 00:37:20,699
deserves to face justice.

749
00:37:21,798 --> 00:37:24,032
That person is James Sythe.

750
00:37:25,205 --> 00:37:26,309
But that person,

751
00:37:27,406 --> 00:37:28,641
that evil man,

752
00:37:29,871 --> 00:37:31,138
is still out there.

753
00:37:33,011 --> 00:37:36,215
All I ask is that you
deliver a verdict

754
00:37:36,350 --> 00:37:37,650
that speaks the truth.

755
00:37:39,116 --> 00:37:42,020
The truth about
what happened to Kendall.

756
00:37:42,156 --> 00:37:44,789
The truth about what happened
on Old Quarry Road that night.

757
00:37:46,393 --> 00:37:47,891
And the truth about him.

758
00:37:51,597 --> 00:37:52,962
And the truth about him...

759
00:37:54,237 --> 00:37:56,163
is that James Michael Sythe

760
00:37:57,270 --> 00:37:58,275
is guilty.

761
00:37:59,305 --> 00:38:00,904
Find him guilty.

762
00:38:02,872 --> 00:38:05,447
The truth is, James Sythe...

763
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,109
is not guilty.

764
00:38:11,286 --> 00:38:12,652
Find James Sythe...

765
00:38:14,188 --> 00:38:15,248
not guilty.

766
00:38:18,060 --> 00:38:19,054
Thank you.

767
00:38:24,300 --> 00:38:26,495
- Good luck.
- Thanks.

768
00:38:26,631 --> 00:38:27,837
Um, excuse me, everyone.

769
00:38:27,973 --> 00:38:29,801
If... If nobody objects,

770
00:38:29,936 --> 00:38:32,171
I'd really like to throw
my name into the ring

771
00:38:32,307 --> 00:38:33,373
to be the forewoman.

772
00:38:33,508 --> 00:38:34,805
I've served on multiple juries.

773
00:38:34,940 --> 00:38:36,275
- I know the ropes.
- I'm cool with it.

774
00:38:36,411 --> 00:38:37,642
- Yeah. Sure.
- Sure!

775
00:38:37,778 --> 00:38:39,339
- I don't mind.
- Okay, great. Thanks.

776
00:38:39,474 --> 00:38:42,985
Okay. So right now we can do
one of two things.

777
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:44,645
We can vote and talk,

778
00:38:44,780 --> 00:38:46,121
or talk and vote.

779
00:38:46,256 --> 00:38:47,786
I suggest that we just vote

780
00:38:47,921 --> 00:38:49,422
and just get an idea
where we all stand.

781
00:38:49,557 --> 00:38:51,092
- Does that sound good?
- Agreed.

782
00:38:51,228 --> 00:38:53,929
Okay. So I vote "guilty."

783
00:38:54,065 --> 00:38:56,497
Yes, ma'am. Me, too.

784
00:38:56,633 --> 00:39:00,962
Me three. This whole thing
is such a shame.

785
00:39:01,098 --> 00:39:03,839
Yeah. I definitely think
that he did it.

786
00:39:03,974 --> 00:39:04,968
Definitely.

787
00:39:06,173 --> 00:39:07,168
I agree.

788
00:39:08,311 --> 00:39:09,643
Everything fits together.

789
00:39:10,674 --> 00:39:12,415
Yeah. Let him rot.

[woman 1] Amen.

791
00:39:15,583 --> 00:39:19,147
Nine. So that is
nine for guilty.

You, sir? Hi.

793
00:39:22,427 --> 00:39:24,394
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, guilty's cool.

794
00:39:25,621 --> 00:39:26,627
Okay.

795
00:39:27,260 --> 00:39:28,460
And...

796
00:39:28,595 --> 00:39:30,263
Oh! You, sir? How about you?

797
00:39:30,399 --> 00:39:32,061
Kid should have pled out.

798
00:39:34,402 --> 00:39:35,900
And then there was one.

[somber music playing]

801
00:39:47,485 --> 00:39:49,743
All right. So...
what's it gonna be?

802
00:39:49,879 --> 00:39:51,212

Of... Of course I do.

807
00:40:02,060 --> 00:40:03,290
All right.

00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,193
You know, this is somebody's
life we're dealing with.

810
00:40:07,329 --> 00:40:09,538
Shouldn't we at least
talk about it?

811
00:40:10,666 --> 00:40:12,271
[sighs]

812
00:40:12,407 --> 00:40:14,575
This is a joke. [sighs]

813
00:40:14,711 --> 00:40:16,677
No, it's, um...
Look, it's a deliberation.

814
00:40:16,812 --> 00:40:18,906
You are ready to send
this man to prison,

815
00:40:19,042 --> 00:40:20,443
maybe forever, just like that?

816
00:40:20,578 --> 00:40:22,716
[King] And?

817
00:40:22,851 --> 00:40:24,287
I heard the facts
of the case. Did you?

818
00:40:24,423 --> 00:40:26,446
Yeah, right.
The lawyer didn't prove,

819
00:40:26,581 --> 00:40:29,289
beyond a reasonable doubt,
that he was innocent.

820
00:40:29,425 --> 00:40:30,856
Well, he doesn't have to.

821
00:40:30,991 --> 00:40:32,925
The burden of proof
is on the prosecution.

822
00:40:33,060 --> 00:40:35,329
Does anyone have
even the slightest hesitation

823
00:40:35,464 --> 00:40:36,757
that James Sythe is guilty?

824
00:40:36,892 --> 00:40:39,766
[sighs] I mean...

825
00:40:39,902 --> 00:40:41,902
Look, if you have to think,
you aren't sure.

826
00:40:42,038 --> 00:40:43,396
No.

827
00:40:43,531 --> 00:40:45,305
What I'm sure of is,
I got three kids at home

828
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:46,470
I got to get back to.

829
00:40:46,606 --> 00:40:47,968
Look, we all have lives.

830
00:40:48,103 --> 00:40:49,078
None of us want to be here.

831
00:40:49,214 --> 00:40:51,140
Okay. Um, how about we...

832
00:40:51,276 --> 00:40:53,576
Why don't you just tell us
what your issue is

833
00:40:53,712 --> 00:40:55,584
or your issues are,

834
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,453
and... and then we can
all talk through it?

835
00:40:57,589 --> 00:41:00,479
Oh, I don't have
an... an issue. Uh...

836
00:41:00,615 --> 00:41:02,248
Okay. So you just like
pissing me off, then?

837
00:41:02,383 --> 00:41:04,323
- Or what?
- [scoffs] No. Look, I...

838
00:41:04,458 --> 00:41:05,758
I have questions.

839
00:41:05,893 --> 00:41:08,597
Nah. That's just
your guilt talking.

840
00:41:09,925 --> 00:41:10,863
What do you mean?

841
00:41:14,431 --> 00:41:16,939
You want to go home
to your little neighborhood

842
00:41:17,075 --> 00:41:18,305
and tell them,

843
00:41:18,441 --> 00:41:20,005
"We did right by that boy.

844
00:41:20,141 --> 00:41:23,341
We gave him a fair shake,
just like anybody else."

845
00:41:23,476 --> 00:41:25,810
Whoa, man. Hold up.
Why're you getting on him
like that?

846
00:41:25,945 --> 00:41:26,972
Hey, mind
your own damn business,

847
00:41:27,108 --> 00:41:28,485
all right, little fella?

848
00:41:28,620 --> 00:41:30,652
- Excuse me?
- That's enough. Both of you.

849
00:41:33,081 --> 00:41:35,321
Please, Mr. Kemp, go on.

850
00:41:35,456 --> 00:41:36,493
Thank you, ma'am.

851
00:41:37,757 --> 00:41:39,188
All I'm trying to say is,

852
00:41:39,324 --> 00:41:40,695
let's put everything else
aside for a minute

853
00:41:40,830 --> 00:41:43,457
and just remember
two key points. Um...

854
00:41:43,593 --> 00:41:45,866
One, Sythe went to trial
instead of taking a plea,

855
00:41:46,002 --> 00:41:48,967
and two, he testified
instead of taking the Fifth.

856
00:41:49,964 --> 00:41:51,471
Right? I mean...

857
00:41:51,607 --> 00:41:53,170
it doesn't mean he's innocent,

858
00:41:53,305 --> 00:41:54,636
but I think he's earned
just a few hours of our time

859
00:41:54,771 --> 00:41:56,344
just to be sure.

860
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,714
Uh, he's right. You're right.

861
00:41:58,849 --> 00:42:01,176
We should take the time
and we should go over it.

862
00:42:01,312 --> 00:42:04,220
Fine. Fine,
but it's a waste of time.

863
00:42:04,355 --> 00:42:05,753
Any other group of 12 people

864
00:42:05,888 --> 00:42:07,315
would arrive at the exact same
decision we did.

865
00:42:07,450 --> 00:42:10,021
[woman 1] Mmm-hmm.
That part right there.

866
00:42:11,563 --> 00:42:14,520
The State has the truth
on its side.

867
00:42:14,656 --> 00:42:17,061
James Sythe is going to pay
for what he did.

868
00:42:17,196 --> 00:42:19,394
And I will get justice
for Kendall Carter

869
00:42:19,529 --> 00:42:23,164
and every woman who is
a victim of domestic abuse.

870
00:42:23,300 --> 00:42:24,968
How do you feel
about the latest polling

871
00:42:25,104 --> 00:42:26,809
that a verdict
in the Sythe trial

872
00:42:26,945 --> 00:42:28,638
carries a five-point swing
in the district attorney race?

873
00:42:28,774 --> 00:42:29,840
Oh, come on. You...

874
00:42:29,975 --> 00:42:31,742
You know I can't
comment on that.

875
00:42:31,877 --> 00:42:33,473
Okay. Thank you, everybody.

876
00:42:40,187 --> 00:42:44,623
So I'm just going to start
with what I think

877
00:42:44,759 --> 00:42:47,119
is the most damning evidence.

878
00:42:47,255 --> 00:42:50,125
Which was the man who saw

879
00:42:50,260 --> 00:42:53,000
Sythe on the road,
at the railing,

880
00:42:53,135 --> 00:42:55,400
directly above where
Kendall Carter's
body was found.

881
00:42:55,536 --> 00:42:57,066
Yes, exactly.

882
00:42:57,201 --> 00:42:58,707
So what's left
to even talk about?

883
00:42:58,842 --> 00:43:00,541
Well, I mean, he was
a few hundred feet away,

884
00:43:00,676 --> 00:43:01,840
looking from across the bridge.

885
00:43:01,975 --> 00:43:03,740
And it was
the middle of the night,

886
00:43:03,876 --> 00:43:05,578
and through pouring rain.

887
00:43:05,713 --> 00:43:06,978
Yeah. And I've actually done

888
00:43:07,113 --> 00:43:08,407
a bunch of landscaping
work up there.

889
00:43:08,543 --> 00:43:10,482
That whole area
is covered by trees.

890
00:43:10,618 --> 00:43:11,950
It'd be hard to see.

891
00:43:12,086 --> 00:43:14,314
The man made
a positive identification.

892
00:43:14,450 --> 00:43:16,716
Yeah, but dude's
kind of ancient, though.

893
00:43:16,852 --> 00:43:18,453
[laughs]

894
00:43:18,589 --> 00:43:22,128
Well, this old bird has
20-20 vision with my glasses.

895
00:43:22,263 --> 00:43:24,860
Come on, y'all.
It's his testimony.
He's not lying.

896
00:43:24,996 --> 00:43:26,627
I mean, why would he lie?

897
00:43:26,763 --> 00:43:28,303
And the question here means
that we think he's lying.

898
00:43:28,439 --> 00:43:29,898
I don't think he's lying.

899
00:43:30,033 --> 00:43:31,032
You think he's lying?

900
00:43:31,168 --> 00:43:32,731
No, I don't think he's lying--

901
00:43:32,867 --> 00:43:33,870
[woman 1] Okay. So what
the hell are we talking about?

902
00:43:34,006 --> 00:43:35,403
Look, I'm just saying... Okay.

903
00:43:35,538 --> 00:43:37,411
The man, he saw somebody
at the railing, right?

904
00:43:37,547 --> 00:43:38,609
Can we all agree on that?

905
00:43:38,745 --> 00:43:39,644
- Yeah.
- Yes.

906
00:43:39,780 --> 00:43:41,411
Okay. So isn't it possible

907
00:43:41,546 --> 00:43:43,448
- that he saw someone
other than James Sythe?
- Oh!

908
00:43:43,584 --> 00:43:45,946
Mmm-mmm.
No, we can go back and forth
all day on possibilities.

909
00:43:46,082 --> 00:43:47,414
That's not helpful.

910
00:43:47,550 --> 00:43:48,322
- Well, I think we should.
- No, no, no.

911
00:43:48,458 --> 00:43:49,624
No. That's not our job.

912
00:43:49,759 --> 00:43:51,287
Our job is to just
weigh the facts.

913
00:43:52,495 --> 00:43:54,555
[sighs] Okay. Fact.

914
00:43:54,690 --> 00:43:58,061
32% of homicides occur
between domestic partners.

915
00:43:58,197 --> 00:43:59,964
Fact, the police
arrested James Sythe

916
00:44:00,100 --> 00:44:01,771
two days after
they found the body.

917
00:44:01,906 --> 00:44:04,938
Fact, they never questioned
any other suspects.

918
00:44:05,073 --> 00:44:06,900
You watch too much TV,
old man. [scoffs]

919
00:44:07,035 --> 00:44:08,440
[chuckles]

920
00:44:08,576 --> 00:44:10,944
[sighs] Okay.

921
00:44:16,980 --> 00:44:18,149
You're a cop?

922
00:44:19,915 --> 00:44:21,283
I was.

923
00:44:21,418 --> 00:44:23,484
Twenty-two years.
Robbery-homicide.

924
00:44:25,391 --> 00:44:27,530
Finally took the buyout,
came down here to get away

925
00:44:27,665 --> 00:44:29,630
from those brutal
Midwest winters

926
00:44:29,765 --> 00:44:31,328
and be closer to the grandkids.

927
00:44:31,464 --> 00:44:33,334
Why didn't you... Why didn't
you tell the lawyers?

928
00:44:33,470 --> 00:44:34,829
'Cause nobody asked.

929
00:44:34,964 --> 00:44:36,834
How about that.

930
00:44:36,970 --> 00:44:39,300
Well, their loss is our gain.

931
00:44:39,435 --> 00:44:41,308
So what are you
thinking, officer?

932
00:44:41,444 --> 00:44:42,737
Uh, Detective.

933
00:44:42,872 --> 00:44:43,904
Um...

934
00:44:44,039 --> 00:44:45,580
Look, I think...

935
00:44:45,715 --> 00:44:47,242
It seems to me like the police,

936
00:44:47,378 --> 00:44:48,815
you know, followed
the evidence,

937
00:44:48,951 --> 00:44:50,718
found their guy,
built their case.

938
00:44:50,854 --> 00:44:52,822
Okay. So what's wrong
with that?

939
00:44:52,957 --> 00:44:54,886
It may be nothing,
but tunnel vision like that

940
00:44:55,021 --> 00:44:56,790
can really bite you in the ass.

941
00:44:56,926 --> 00:44:58,957
They feed Sythe
to that eyewitness,

942
00:44:59,093 --> 00:45:01,191
so, of course,
that's who he IDs.

943
00:45:01,326 --> 00:45:03,065
Now they're sure
they got their guy,

944
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,467
so they just ignore anything
that doesn't help their case.

945
00:45:05,602 --> 00:45:08,127
They stop asking questions.

946
00:45:08,262 --> 00:45:09,637
Confirmation bias.

947
00:45:09,772 --> 00:45:11,603
Yeah, confirmation bias.
Exactly.

948
00:45:11,738 --> 00:45:12,770
Confirmation bias.

949
00:45:12,906 --> 00:45:14,670
There's no bad intentions.

950
00:45:14,805 --> 00:45:17,407
It's just a bunch of people
trying to do the right thing,

951
00:45:17,543 --> 00:45:20,744
and they can't see everything
they're doing wrong.

952
00:45:20,879 --> 00:45:23,116
It's a good point.

953
00:45:23,252 --> 00:45:26,717
And what about this blunt
instrument murder weapon

954
00:45:26,853 --> 00:45:28,352
they kept talking about?

955
00:45:28,487 --> 00:45:31,089
The prosecutor said
they couldn't recover it.

956
00:45:31,225 --> 00:45:33,396
So he got rid of it.
That's easy to do.

957
00:45:33,531 --> 00:45:34,896
Or he could have killed her

958
00:45:35,031 --> 00:45:37,661
with something other
than a blunt instrument.

959
00:45:37,796 --> 00:45:38,834
Like what?

960
00:45:40,370 --> 00:45:42,605
Like a car?

961
00:45:42,741 --> 00:45:44,070
It could have been
a hit-and-run.

962
00:45:46,168 --> 00:45:47,468
[Justin] Oh, shit.

963
00:45:47,604 --> 00:45:48,875
- Here. Let me help.
- I'm sorry. Sorry.

964
00:45:49,011 --> 00:45:49,773
- It got in your pants.
- It's all right.

965
00:45:49,909 --> 00:45:51,141
You know, that's...

966
00:45:51,277 --> 00:45:53,374
That's a really, really
good theory.

967
00:45:53,510 --> 00:45:55,145
- Hit-and-run.
- [Robinson] Yeah.

968
00:45:55,281 --> 00:45:56,476
I mean, it's raining,
it's night.

969
00:45:56,612 --> 00:45:58,384
Visibility's
got to be terrible.

970
00:45:58,519 --> 00:46:01,086
Well, we know it was slippery,
from that hiker's testimony.

971
00:46:01,222 --> 00:46:03,918
Wandering around
in the dark in heels?

972
00:46:04,054 --> 00:46:06,259
Kids today...

973
00:46:06,395 --> 00:46:10,530
Um, it explains how she could
have ended up in a creek.

974
00:46:10,665 --> 00:46:12,465
[jurors] Mmm-hmm.

975
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,835
Okay. So, Sythe mowed her down
instead of bashing her head in?

976
00:46:15,970 --> 00:46:17,297
What are we talking about here?

977
00:46:17,433 --> 00:46:18,606
What difference does it make?

978
00:46:18,741 --> 00:46:21,142
The guy is a piece of shit.

979
00:46:21,278 --> 00:46:25,445
Look, my gut is telling me
that that kid is not a killer.

980
00:46:25,581 --> 00:46:27,978
- Okay. The other day,
you voted guilty.
- [woman] Mmm-hmm.

981
00:46:28,113 --> 00:46:29,951
No. No, I never said guilty.

982
00:46:30,087 --> 00:46:32,949
I said, he should have
taken a plea bargain.

983
00:46:33,084 --> 00:46:34,715
He's got a weak case.

984
00:46:34,850 --> 00:46:36,585
[woman] Well, maybe there's
a reason for that.

985
00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:39,420
[Chicowski] Yeah. It's called
a public defender.

986
00:46:39,555 --> 00:46:40,660
I mean,
nothing against this guy.

987
00:46:40,795 --> 00:46:42,060
He seems pretty smart,

988
00:46:42,196 --> 00:46:44,924
but... the PDs
are working 10 times

989
00:46:45,060 --> 00:46:48,504
the caseload of the DA's office
on a fraction of the budget.

990
00:46:48,639 --> 00:46:50,133
It's just not a fair fight.

991
00:46:50,268 --> 00:46:52,607
Yeah, well, nothing is anymore.

992
00:46:52,743 --> 00:46:54,309
We'll just do the best we can.

993
00:46:54,444 --> 00:46:55,438
I hear you.

994
00:46:57,112 --> 00:46:59,106
And I got 22 years
on the street,

995
00:46:59,241 --> 00:47:00,982
that is telling me

996
00:47:01,118 --> 00:47:03,678
there's a lot more
to this case than we know.

997
00:47:03,813 --> 00:47:06,322
All right. Then, if you were
still a detective,

998
00:47:06,457 --> 00:47:07,486
what would you do?

999
00:47:07,621 --> 00:47:09,682
Yeah.

1000
00:47:09,818 --> 00:47:12,455
All right, y'all.
That's it for today.

1001
00:47:12,590 --> 00:47:16,490
See you back here at 9:00 a.m.
Monday morning.

1002
00:47:16,626 --> 00:47:18,962
Oh! And I almost forgot.
Happy Halloween.

1003
00:47:19,098 --> 00:47:20,870
[jurors] Happy Halloween!

1004
00:47:23,164 --> 00:47:24,133
Hey!

1005
00:47:24,268 --> 00:47:26,203
Yeah, it has been a minute.

1006
00:47:26,339 --> 00:47:28,471
But I was hoping
you could do me a solid.

1007
00:47:29,612 --> 00:47:30,572
Hang on a sec.

1008
00:47:33,010 --> 00:47:34,510
[engine starts]

1009
00:47:35,947 --> 00:47:37,117
Yeah, I'm here.

1010
00:47:38,413 --> 00:47:39,779

[knock at door]

1015
00:48:02,813 --> 00:48:03,976
- No decision yet.
- [sighs]

1016
00:48:04,111 --> 00:48:05,380
We're breaking for the weekend.

1017
00:48:05,515 --> 00:48:07,082
You're kidding.

1018
00:48:07,217 --> 00:48:08,908
You never know what
a dozen strangers are gonna do.

1019
00:48:09,043 --> 00:48:10,982
Clearly. Okay. Well,
thanks for letting me know.

1020
00:48:11,118 --> 00:48:12,382
- See you Monday.
- Mmm-hmm.

1021
00:48:12,517 --> 00:48:14,423
- Trick or treat!
- Yeah. Have a good one.

1022
00:48:14,559 --> 00:48:16,048

Hey, hon.

1028
00:49:21,786 --> 00:49:24,818
Yeah, I'm heading back
to the shop right now.

1029
00:49:25,660 --> 00:49:26,655
Okay.

1030
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,430
[engine starts]

1031
00:49:56,790 --> 00:49:58,387
Hey.

1032
00:49:58,522 --> 00:50:00,326
- Hi.
- Did you get my text?

1033
00:50:02,830 --> 00:50:03,992
Oh, shit.

1034
00:50:04,127 --> 00:50:05,331
Sorry.

1035
00:50:06,330 --> 00:50:08,004
I'm sorry, I forgot.

1036
00:50:08,971 --> 00:50:10,270
Does everything look okay?

1037
00:50:12,676 --> 00:50:13,669
Are you okay?

1038
00:50:20,015 --> 00:50:21,648
Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong?

1039
00:50:21,783 --> 00:50:22,777
I'm scared.

1040
00:50:24,785 --> 00:50:27,353
I'm scared. We didn't make it
this far last time, and...

1041
00:50:28,020 --> 00:50:28,981
I'm just scared.

1042
00:50:30,787 --> 00:50:32,160
I don't want to be
doing this alone.

1043
00:50:32,295 --> 00:50:33,722
I don't want to go
to these things alone.

1044
00:50:35,029 --> 00:50:36,594
It's going to be okay.

1045
00:50:36,730 --> 00:50:38,166
[stammers] It's going
to be all right, I promise.

1046
00:50:38,301 --> 00:50:39,134
I don't understand why
you weren't there today.

1047
00:50:42,669 --> 00:50:45,497
How much longer is the trial
going to go on for?

1048
00:50:45,633 --> 00:50:48,636
[sighs] I have no idea.

1049
00:50:48,772 --> 00:50:50,903
- It's...
- Are you close to a verdict?

1050
00:50:51,039 --> 00:50:52,542
I'm not supposed
to discuss the case--

1051
00:50:52,677 --> 00:50:54,345
Justin, are you close
to a verdict?

1052
00:50:54,481 --> 00:50:57,383
Well, it's ten to two
for guilty.

1053
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:00,914
So then, Monday,

1054
00:51:01,050 --> 00:51:02,857
can you just go in
and sway the two holdouts

1055
00:51:02,992 --> 00:51:04,683
and then be done with this?

1056
00:51:04,818 --> 00:51:07,723
Well, I'm one of them. I...

1057
00:51:09,526 --> 00:51:11,323
- Why?
- I'm sorry,

1058
00:51:11,459 --> 00:51:12,759
but they took
one look at this guy,
and that was it.

1059
00:51:12,895 --> 00:51:14,670
No discussion of
the evidence, nothing.

1060
00:51:14,805 --> 00:51:15,830
I had to do something.

1061
00:51:19,066 --> 00:51:20,670
Everyone deserves
a chance, right?

1062
00:51:22,513 --> 00:51:24,872
I keep thinking where I'd be
if you hadn't given me one.

1063
00:51:30,385 --> 00:51:32,079
[stammers] Can I ask
you something?

1064
00:51:32,215 --> 00:51:33,919
[sighs]

1065
00:51:34,054 --> 00:51:36,588
Yeah, sure. What?

1066
00:51:36,724 --> 00:51:38,891
If I were to sell the 4Runner
without telling someone

1067
00:51:39,026 --> 00:51:40,758
it was in a wreck,

1068
00:51:40,894 --> 00:51:42,559
but they're happy with the deal
and there's no safety risks.

1069
00:51:42,695 --> 00:51:44,523
- It was in the ad, Justin.
- I know, I know,

1070
00:51:44,659 --> 00:51:45,867
but just go with me.

1071
00:51:46,002 --> 00:51:47,935
If they're never the wiser,

1072
00:51:48,071 --> 00:51:50,205
then did I do anything wrong?

1073
00:51:50,772 --> 00:51:51,734
No.

1074
00:51:52,910 --> 00:51:54,275
I mean, I don't think so.

1075
00:51:55,876 --> 00:51:56,871
Yeah.

1076
00:51:59,542 --> 00:52:00,639
I'm going upstairs.

1077
00:52:00,775 --> 00:52:02,745
[melancholy music playing]

1078
00:52:03,711 --> 00:52:04,950
Food's in the fridge.

1079
00:52:05,085 --> 00:52:06,353
See you upstairs.

1080
00:52:13,124 --> 00:52:14,262
[sighs]

1081
00:52:32,843 --> 00:52:35,542
There she is.
Next round's on her.

1082
00:52:35,677 --> 00:52:37,611
Bourbon. Neat. And...

1083
00:52:37,746 --> 00:52:39,011
yeah, whatever he's having.

1084
00:52:39,146 --> 00:52:42,552
What I'm having?
What I'm having is a...

1085
00:52:42,687 --> 00:52:43,815
- Thank you.
- ...great evening.

1086
00:52:43,951 --> 00:52:45,425
Isn't it a beautiful evening?

1087
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:47,486
It should have been
a two-hour verdict.

1088
00:52:47,621 --> 00:52:49,757
What can I tell you?
They're taking
their job seriously.

1089
00:52:49,892 --> 00:52:51,297
I gave them a lot
to think about.

1090
00:52:51,433 --> 00:52:53,794
Mmm. I got a mountain
of evidence.

1091
00:52:53,930 --> 00:52:55,532
You gave them
smoke and mirrors.

1092
00:52:55,668 --> 00:52:57,137
Where there's smoke,
there's fire.

1093
00:52:57,273 --> 00:53:01,177
[laughs] I admire
your optimism.

1094
00:53:01,312 --> 00:53:02,872
Look, here's the thing.
You walk into court

1095
00:53:03,007 --> 00:53:06,709
convinced of the guilt
of the defendant. Me, I...

1096
00:53:06,844 --> 00:53:08,247
I have no illusions
about what I do.

1097
00:53:08,382 --> 00:53:10,045
A lot of my clients are guilty,

1098
00:53:10,181 --> 00:53:13,019
and my job is to help make
the best of a bad situation.

1099
00:53:13,154 --> 00:53:15,046
But I'm telling you...

1100
00:53:15,182 --> 00:53:17,149
I'm telling you,
this guy didn't do it.

1101
00:53:20,123 --> 00:53:23,527
And the fact that the jury's
taking a little time

1102
00:53:23,663 --> 00:53:25,195
gives me hope
that things are working

1103
00:53:25,331 --> 00:53:26,565
the way they should.

1104
00:53:28,129 --> 00:53:31,999
Well... you enjoy that
while it lasts.

1105
00:53:35,176 --> 00:53:38,038
To the justice system.

1106
00:53:38,174 --> 00:53:41,173
It ain't perfect,
but it's the best we got.

1107
00:53:51,654 --> 00:53:52,984
- Hey.
- Hey.

1108
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:54,921
I'm sorry again
about yesterday.

1109
00:53:55,056 --> 00:53:56,529
It's just that case
wearing on me.

1110
00:53:57,561 --> 00:53:58,757
I know. I can tell.

1111
00:53:58,893 --> 00:54:00,693
- Yeah.
- Trust your gut.

1112
00:54:00,829 --> 00:54:02,269
You'll do the right thing.

1113
00:54:02,405 --> 00:54:03,798
- [doorbell rings]
- Oh! Oh, Oh, wait.

1114
00:54:03,933 --> 00:54:05,131
- [kids laughing]
- Wait, wait, wait.

1115
00:54:09,379 --> 00:54:11,309
- What's that?
- It's my pitchfork.

1116
00:54:11,444 --> 00:54:13,079
- Nice!
- Yeah. Thanks.

1117
00:54:13,215 --> 00:54:14,481
- [laughs]
- Homemade.

1118
00:54:17,179 --> 00:54:19,453
- [kids] Trick or treat!
- Hey! Happy Halloween!

1119
00:54:19,588 --> 00:54:22,181
I love your costumes!
Take two, everyone.

1120
00:54:24,321 --> 00:54:25,222
Oliver?

1121
00:54:25,357 --> 00:54:26,956
Hey, Ms. Crewson.

1122
00:54:27,092 --> 00:54:29,897
Oliver, I didn't even
recognize you! How are you?

1123
00:54:30,033 --> 00:54:31,461
I'm good. Hi, Mr. Kemp.

1124
00:54:31,597 --> 00:54:33,094
Hey, how's the writing going?

1125
00:54:33,229 --> 00:54:34,927
- I'm on student paper now.
- No way. That's awesome.

1126
00:54:35,063 --> 00:54:36,436
- That's very cool.
- Congrats.

1127
00:54:36,572 --> 00:54:38,070
- Hey, have fun tonight.
- [Oliver] We will.

1128
00:54:38,206 --> 00:54:39,339
See you back at school?

1129
00:54:39,474 --> 00:54:40,907
- Yeah. Next year.
- [Oliver] Okay.

1130
00:54:41,042 --> 00:54:42,339
Well, bye.

1131
00:54:42,475 --> 00:54:44,079
- Bye!
- Keep it up!

1132
00:54:44,215 --> 00:54:46,176
- God, he's a giant.
- I know.

1133
00:54:46,311 --> 00:54:47,778
Happy Halloween.

1134
00:54:52,921 --> 00:54:53,916
Thanks.

1135
00:55:06,333 --> 00:55:07,798
- Hey.
- Hey.

1136
00:55:07,933 --> 00:55:10,629
Why'd you follow me
after court on Friday?

1137
00:55:10,764 --> 00:55:12,834
I picked your tail up,
like, halfway out of
the parking lot.

1138
00:55:12,970 --> 00:55:15,636
I mean, green Toyota
4Runner, right?

1139
00:55:15,772 --> 00:55:17,774
Uh, yeah, well, you're...

1140
00:55:17,910 --> 00:55:19,178
you're not allowed
to investigate the case

1141
00:55:19,313 --> 00:55:20,514
outside the jury room.

1142
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:23,515
Yeah. Yeah, I know.

1143
00:55:23,651 --> 00:55:27,114
But... I mean,
somebody's got to.

1144
00:55:27,250 --> 00:55:28,614
Don't you want to know
what really happened?

1145
00:55:28,749 --> 00:55:30,458
Yeah. Of course.

1146
00:55:31,390 --> 00:55:33,026
Look, I, uh...

1147
00:55:33,162 --> 00:55:34,121
I did some digging.

1148
00:55:36,192 --> 00:55:37,999
This is every registered car
in the county

1149
00:55:38,135 --> 00:55:39,633
that was in for body work

1150
00:55:39,768 --> 00:55:41,327
between October 26th
and the end of last year.

1151
00:55:41,463 --> 00:55:42,899
You're still about
the hit-and-run?
Come on, it's--

1152
00:55:43,034 --> 00:55:44,802
Yeah, because that's
a really good theory.

1153
00:55:44,937 --> 00:55:47,574
Now, the automakers
keep a detailed list

1154
00:55:47,709 --> 00:55:50,609
of these repairs
strictly for R and D purposes.

1155
00:55:50,745 --> 00:55:53,042
They collect it
from the dealers pro forma

1156
00:55:53,178 --> 00:55:55,350
and then pay the mom-and-pop
shops under the table.

1157
00:55:55,485 --> 00:55:56,776
My partner and I
recovered more cars

1158
00:55:56,912 --> 00:55:58,377
than an impound this way.

1159
00:55:58,512 --> 00:56:00,782
Right. But there must be
hundreds of cars in there.

1160
00:56:00,918 --> 00:56:02,787
Yeah, so process
of elimination,

1161
00:56:02,922 --> 00:56:05,626
which is what I spent
my whole weekend doing.

1162
00:56:05,761 --> 00:56:08,161
I mean, anything there's
already a police report for,

1163
00:56:08,296 --> 00:56:09,224
crossed off the list.

1164
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,095
Mmm.

1165
00:56:11,230 --> 00:56:12,661
And there's only going to be
a very specific kind of damage

1166
00:56:12,797 --> 00:56:13,761
with this kind of hit-and-run.

1167
00:56:13,897 --> 00:56:16,999
So a headlight, grille, hood.

1168
00:56:17,134 --> 00:56:19,606
- Yeah.
- I narrowed it down
to 15 vehicles

1169
00:56:19,741 --> 00:56:21,702
that match that description
on this list,

1170
00:56:21,838 --> 00:56:23,169
one of which, by the way,

1171
00:56:23,304 --> 00:56:26,306
a '96 Toyota 4Runner,
Forest Green.

1172
00:56:26,442 --> 00:56:29,051
I mean, that's the exact
same car as yours, right?

1173
00:56:29,186 --> 00:56:30,417
I mean, if that is your car,

1174
00:56:30,553 --> 00:56:32,551
we can just cross it
off the list.

1175
00:56:32,687 --> 00:56:35,983
Right. Yeah.
So what's the plan?

1176
00:56:36,119 --> 00:56:38,184
Well, if you
don't mind helping,

1177
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:39,757
there's only so many
hours in the day,

1178
00:56:39,893 --> 00:56:41,254
and we got to spend
most of them here.

1179
00:56:41,389 --> 00:56:42,626
So you want to help me
with the legwork,

1180
00:56:42,761 --> 00:56:44,224
and see if we can find our guy.

1181
00:56:44,359 --> 00:56:46,796
Yeah. Okay. You know,
you're reaching, but...

1182
00:56:46,931 --> 00:56:48,366
Look, I...
It's a hit-and-run, kid.

1183
00:56:48,501 --> 00:56:49,900
I feel it in my bones.

1184
00:56:50,035 --> 00:56:52,102
Dollars to doughnuts,
our guy is on this list.

1185
00:56:52,238 --> 00:56:56,005
[bailiff] Oh, good morning.
Party time, y'all, let's go.

1186
00:56:58,544 --> 00:56:59,945
Fellas, wrap it up.

1187
00:57:00,081 --> 00:57:01,274
Thanks.

1188
00:57:04,154 --> 00:57:05,179
[bailiff] Let's go.

1189
00:57:07,551 --> 00:57:08,483
God damn it!

1190
00:57:08,619 --> 00:57:10,654
[grunts] Hmm.

1191
00:57:10,789 --> 00:57:12,223
Everything all right over here?

1192
00:57:12,359 --> 00:57:13,658
[Justin] Mmm?

1193
00:57:13,794 --> 00:57:14,991
[bailiff] Y'all working
my nerve today.

1194
00:57:16,858 --> 00:57:18,093
What is all this?

1195
00:57:22,867 --> 00:57:25,100
Just... You two, wait for me.

1196
00:57:27,445 --> 00:57:30,644
Read instruction
0.01 for me, please.

1197
00:57:34,676 --> 00:57:36,145
Uh...

1198
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:37,617
"To maintain the integrity
of the jury system,

1199
00:57:37,753 --> 00:57:39,588
I remind you that you must
decide this case

1200
00:57:39,723 --> 00:57:41,752
based only on the evidence
admitted during the trial

1201
00:57:41,888 --> 00:57:43,853
and the law
I will explain to you.

1202
00:57:43,989 --> 00:57:45,523
You may not conduct
any research

1203
00:57:45,658 --> 00:57:47,422
on your own about this case

1204
00:57:47,557 --> 00:57:50,189
or about any people or places
mentioned during the trial."

1205
00:57:50,325 --> 00:57:51,927
Sounds to me
like you two violated

1206
00:57:52,063 --> 00:57:53,632
every sentence
of that paragraph.

1207
00:57:53,768 --> 00:57:55,036
Your Honor,
I move for a mistrial.

1208
00:57:55,171 --> 00:57:56,737
He's a former cop.

1209
00:57:56,872 --> 00:57:58,330
Who knows what ideas
he put in the jury's heads.

1210
00:57:58,466 --> 00:58:00,266
Failure to elicit
his previous employment

1211
00:58:00,401 --> 00:58:03,275
during voir dire
is on you, Mr. Resnick.

1212
00:58:03,411 --> 00:58:04,976
[Eric] It's misconduct.

1213
00:58:05,112 --> 00:58:06,680
Kick him off, Judge.
There's no need to start over.

1214
00:58:06,816 --> 00:58:09,177
Our resources are already
stretched so thin.

1215
00:58:12,245 --> 00:58:14,055
She's right. Motion denied.

1216
00:58:14,191 --> 00:58:15,623
Your Honor. You know...

1217
00:58:16,423 --> 00:58:17,691
As for you two...

1218
00:58:20,355 --> 00:58:22,124
You violated
your oath as jurors.

1219
00:58:24,794 --> 00:58:26,298
Your Honor...

1220
00:58:26,433 --> 00:58:27,833
if I may. I, uh...

1221
00:58:27,968 --> 00:58:30,370
I upheld the oath I took
as a police officer

1222
00:58:30,506 --> 00:58:32,473
to never betray my character,

1223
00:58:32,609 --> 00:58:35,005
my integrity,
or the public trust.

1224
00:58:40,580 --> 00:58:42,683
Mr. Chicowski, [sighs]

1225
00:58:42,818 --> 00:58:44,916
you are hereby removed
from Jury Service.

1226
00:58:46,852 --> 00:58:47,849
On account of your background,

1227
00:58:47,985 --> 00:58:49,315
I'm going to make an exception

1228
00:58:49,451 --> 00:58:52,055
and not find you
in contempt of court.

1229
00:58:53,395 --> 00:58:54,695
Thank you, Your Honor.

1230
00:58:56,165 --> 00:58:57,832
So Mr. Kemp,

1231
00:58:57,968 --> 00:59:00,024
you are not a retired
law enforcement officer,
are you?

1232
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:01,862
No. No, Your Honor.

1233
00:59:01,997 --> 00:59:03,361
So how do you explain

1234
00:59:03,497 --> 00:59:07,302
your involvement
in this transgression?

1235
00:59:07,437 --> 00:59:10,005
I obtained those documents
on my own, Your Honor.

1236
00:59:10,140 --> 00:59:12,042
He didn't have anything
to do with it.

1237
00:59:13,183 --> 00:59:14,376
Is that true?

1238
00:59:14,512 --> 00:59:15,847
Mmm.

1239
00:59:15,983 --> 00:59:17,547
I mean, did you look
at these documents

1240
00:59:17,683 --> 00:59:19,281
or help to procure them

1241
00:59:19,416 --> 00:59:21,885
or know what Mr. Chicowski
was intending to do?

1242
00:59:22,021 --> 00:59:24,356
No, Your Honor.
I did not look at them

1243
00:59:24,491 --> 00:59:25,627
and I didn't help.

1244
00:59:27,763 --> 00:59:29,893
So do you think
that you can disregard

1245
00:59:30,028 --> 00:59:31,864
everything that
you heard just now

1246
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,398
and remain an unbiased
member of this panel?

1247
00:59:34,533 --> 00:59:35,835
Yes, I can.

1248
00:59:37,531 --> 00:59:39,840
I'm going to take you
at your word.

1249
00:59:39,975 --> 00:59:43,502
Bailiff, please escort Mr. Kemp
back to the juror room.

1250
00:59:45,110 --> 00:59:49,080
Mr. Chicowski,
you are dismissed.

1251
00:59:49,216 --> 00:59:51,112
Your Honor, I would ask
that a copy of these documents

1252
00:59:51,248 --> 00:59:52,648
be made part
of the court's records

1253
00:59:52,784 --> 00:59:53,983
for purposes of appeal.

1254
00:59:54,119 --> 00:59:56,285
And again,
I move for a mistrial.

1255
00:59:56,420 --> 00:59:59,552
The documents will be marked
as court's Exhibit One.

1256
00:59:59,687 --> 01:00:03,791
Your motion for a mistrial
is denied, Mr. Resnick.

1257
01:00:03,927 --> 01:00:06,401
Is that understood?

1258
01:00:06,536 --> 01:00:09,194
Yes, Your Honor.
It's understood.

1259
01:00:09,329 --> 01:00:11,871
Good. Then we are done here.

1260
01:00:20,277 --> 01:00:22,110
- You got to be kidding me.
- What?

1261
01:00:22,245 --> 01:00:24,279
"Our resources
are stretched so thin"?

1262
01:00:25,321 --> 01:00:26,413
You are something.

1263
01:00:30,258 --> 01:00:31,253
Okay.

1264
01:00:33,393 --> 01:00:34,421
[sighs]

1265
01:00:38,399 --> 01:00:39,800
Counselor.

1266
01:00:39,935 --> 01:00:40,996
Hey, it's okay.
I'm not on the jury anymore.

1267
01:00:41,131 --> 01:00:42,269
- You don't have to...
- Yeah.

1268
01:00:42,405 --> 01:00:43,903
Yeah, made sure of that.

1269
01:00:44,701 --> 01:00:45,740
[sighs]

1270
01:00:46,905 --> 01:00:48,105
Feeling the pressure, huh?

1271
01:00:49,004 --> 01:00:51,380
In this job? Nah.

1272
01:00:51,515 --> 01:00:54,540
- [both chuckle]
- Yeah. Okay.

1273
01:01:02,187 --> 01:01:03,655
Hey, I'm...
Sorry, but I just...

1274
01:01:03,790 --> 01:01:05,793
I can't not say this. You...

1275
01:01:07,423 --> 01:01:09,830
[sighs] You got this case
all wrong.

1276
01:01:10,896 --> 01:01:12,761
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.

1277
01:01:12,897 --> 01:01:14,030
It's a hit-and-run.

1278
01:01:14,165 --> 01:01:16,435
No way.
ME would have flagged it.

1279
01:01:16,571 --> 01:01:18,738
Well, yeah, you'd think.

1280
01:01:18,874 --> 01:01:21,132
That guy did
five autopsies that day.

1281
01:01:21,268 --> 01:01:23,377
One day. I checked.

1282
01:01:23,512 --> 01:01:24,878
Doesn't mean anything.

1283
01:01:29,784 --> 01:01:32,017
Let me just ask you one thing.

1284
01:01:32,153 --> 01:01:34,382
Did you guys ever look
at any other suspect?

1285
01:01:36,424 --> 01:01:38,619
We did our job.

1286
01:01:38,755 --> 01:01:40,685
All due respect, Counselor,
if you'd have done your job,

1287
01:01:40,820 --> 01:01:42,364
I don't think we'd be
standing here right now.

1288
01:01:42,499 --> 01:01:44,392
Well, that guy is bad news.

1289
01:01:46,829 --> 01:01:47,835
Maybe.

1290
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:51,663
But he didn't kill that girl.

1291
01:01:55,038 --> 01:01:56,877
[pensive music playing]

1292
01:02:08,617 --> 01:02:09,922
[bailiff] All right.
So with that being said,

1293
01:02:10,058 --> 01:02:12,254
Judge Stewart thanks you
for your patience

1294
01:02:12,389 --> 01:02:14,930
and apologizes
for any inconvenience.

1295
01:02:15,065 --> 01:02:18,393
Juror number 13 is now
a voting member of this panel.

1296
01:02:19,026 --> 01:02:20,195
Okay.

1297
01:02:20,330 --> 01:02:22,100
I'll let you guys
get back to it.

1298
01:02:25,771 --> 01:02:27,540
So what happened?

1299
01:02:27,676 --> 01:02:29,810
What was this misconduct?

1300
01:02:29,945 --> 01:02:31,742
Uh, that's between
him and the judge.

1301
01:02:31,878 --> 01:02:34,040
Bullshit. You were there.

1302
01:02:34,176 --> 01:02:35,476
What did Harold do?

1303
01:02:37,052 --> 01:02:40,178
He was investigating
the case on his own.

1304
01:02:40,314 --> 01:02:41,350
The judge sent him home.

1305
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:44,258
What about
that stack of papers?

1306
01:02:44,393 --> 01:02:45,383
What papers?

1307
01:02:45,518 --> 01:02:47,193
The ones Harold gave to him.

1308
01:02:47,329 --> 01:02:49,064
You dropped them
all over the floor.
We all saw it.

1309
01:02:49,199 --> 01:02:52,293
The bailiff was on us before
I looked at the papers, so...

1310
01:02:52,428 --> 01:02:54,394
You were talking
for quite a while.

1311
01:02:54,529 --> 01:02:56,398
Did he tell you
what was in them?

1312
01:02:58,398 --> 01:03:00,238
Okay, yes, he did. It...

1313
01:03:00,373 --> 01:03:03,335
It was a printout.
Names, vehicle registrations...

1314
01:03:03,470 --> 01:03:06,105
He said that it could prove

1315
01:03:06,241 --> 01:03:07,240
James Sythe's innocence.

1316
01:03:07,376 --> 01:03:09,377
- [all murmuring]
- So what?

1317
01:03:09,513 --> 01:03:10,714
Are we just supposed
to believe you now

1318
01:03:10,850 --> 01:03:12,049
and change our vote?

1319
01:03:12,185 --> 01:03:13,283
No, I'm just telling you
what I know.

1320
01:03:15,384 --> 01:03:17,056
He thinks it was a hit-and-run.

1321
01:03:49,651 --> 01:03:52,751
So if he thinks
it was a hit-and-run...

1322
01:03:57,192 --> 01:03:58,900
Kendall was 5'5".

1323
01:03:59,767 --> 01:04:03,001
If she was hunched over,

1324
01:04:03,136 --> 01:04:06,236
and the car was
an SUV or a truck,

1325
01:04:06,371 --> 01:04:07,907
she could have easily
have been hit

1326
01:04:08,043 --> 01:04:09,878
smack across
the head and torso.

1327
01:04:12,312 --> 01:04:14,849
Look at the way
her shoulders are fractured.

1328
01:04:14,985 --> 01:04:17,116
Well, I'm sorry,
but are you a doctor?

1329
01:04:18,448 --> 01:04:21,146
Not yet.
Third-year med student.

1330
01:04:21,281 --> 01:04:22,815
I... I mean,

1331
01:04:22,950 --> 01:04:24,620
I think we should leave
that to the professionals,

1332
01:04:24,756 --> 01:04:26,519
the medical examiner who,
you know, examined the body.

1333
01:04:26,655 --> 01:04:29,328
Well, I mean,
doctors can be careless.

1334
01:04:29,464 --> 01:04:31,566
One time they told my dad
he was having a heart attack.

1335
01:04:31,701 --> 01:04:33,593
Turned out it was just gas.

1336
01:04:33,729 --> 01:04:36,264
[chuckles] They're always
in such a rush.

1337
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,269
Go ahead, dear.
Speak your mind.

1338
01:04:42,345 --> 01:04:46,074
The right and left clavicle
both show a very clean break.

1339
01:04:46,210 --> 01:04:47,542
Can you pass this around?

1340
01:04:49,381 --> 01:04:50,743
She couldn't get that
from the fall?

1341
01:04:51,784 --> 01:04:53,416
It's not likely.

1342
01:04:53,551 --> 01:04:58,217
Both bones had to be broken
by a single,

1343
01:04:58,353 --> 01:05:00,852
sharp, posterior impact.

1344
01:05:02,431 --> 01:05:04,294
Pow.

1345
01:05:04,430 --> 01:05:07,397
Do we know if Sythe's car
had any damage?

1346
01:05:09,070 --> 01:05:10,362
No. The police
would have noted it

1347
01:05:10,498 --> 01:05:11,829
in their report if it did.

1348
01:05:11,965 --> 01:05:13,267
Not if they thought
it was irrelevant.

1349
01:05:13,403 --> 01:05:15,438
[scoffs] Cops hate paperwork.

1350
01:05:15,573 --> 01:05:17,272
So you're some kind
of secret cop now, too?

1351
01:05:17,407 --> 01:05:19,738
[laughs] No. I'm a dog groomer,

1352
01:05:19,874 --> 01:05:22,577
but I watch and listen
to a lot of true crime,

1353
01:05:22,712 --> 01:05:24,612
and the first rule
is the husband did it.

1354
01:05:25,653 --> 01:05:27,086
Okay, well,

1355
01:05:27,221 --> 01:05:29,087
husband, boyfriend.
Same difference.

1356
01:05:29,222 --> 01:05:30,723
You agree
that he's guilty, right?

1357
01:05:30,859 --> 01:05:31,989
He is the perfect suspect.

1358
01:05:32,124 --> 01:05:33,388
[King] All right. Thank you.

1359
01:05:33,524 --> 01:05:34,819
But the second rule
of true crime

1360
01:05:34,955 --> 01:05:37,229
is that it's never
the perfect suspect.

1361
01:05:38,061 --> 01:05:39,395
Oh, my God.

1362
01:05:39,531 --> 01:05:42,235
I'm just sharing with you
my experiences.

1363
01:05:42,370 --> 01:05:45,402
Your experiences?
Listening to crime podcasts.

1364
01:05:45,537 --> 01:05:47,372
Well, hold on.
And watching <i>Dateline.</i>

1365
01:05:47,508 --> 01:05:49,972
Okay. Well, that doesn't
make you Sherlock Holmes.

1366
01:05:50,108 --> 01:05:51,472
Oh, thank you. [laughs]

1367
01:05:51,608 --> 01:05:53,541
No, you burn
through enough cases,

1368
01:05:53,677 --> 01:05:56,250
and you start to see
certain patterns.

1369
01:05:56,385 --> 01:05:58,310
But I leave the detective work
to the forum lawyers.

1370
01:05:58,445 --> 01:05:59,911
Okay, good. Good.

1371
01:06:00,047 --> 01:06:01,584
Because we're not here
to solve a mystery, okay?

1372
01:06:01,719 --> 01:06:03,684
All we're here to do
is decide if we're positive

1373
01:06:03,820 --> 01:06:06,617
James Sythe killed
Kendall Carter. That's it.

1374
01:06:06,753 --> 01:06:07,694
- [woman 2] May I?
- Oh.

1375
01:06:07,829 --> 01:06:08,821
[med student] I'm not.

1376
01:06:10,792 --> 01:06:13,596
Old Quarry Road
feeds into the highway.

1377
01:06:13,732 --> 01:06:16,470
When traffic's heavy,
GPS will send you that way.

1378
01:06:16,606 --> 01:06:17,973
It gets busy.

1379
01:06:18,108 --> 01:06:20,468
Yeah, and at night,
I mean, it's gnarly.

1380
01:06:20,604 --> 01:06:23,077
I nearly mowed down
a deer once.

1381
01:06:23,212 --> 01:06:24,639
[man] What if that's what
they thought?

1382
01:06:25,572 --> 01:06:26,740
[Aldworth] Who thought?

1383
01:06:28,950 --> 01:06:30,447
Whoever hit Kendall Carter.

1384
01:06:32,980 --> 01:06:34,681
Yeah, man. I mean,
that all makes sense,

1385
01:06:34,817 --> 01:06:37,025
but, you know, what about
our eyewitness?

1386
01:06:38,927 --> 01:06:40,354
Maybe he saw someone else?

1387
01:06:40,490 --> 01:06:41,963
Okay, hold up. Wait a minute.

1388
01:06:42,099 --> 01:06:44,165
Y'all got way too many
"maybes" for my liking.

1389
01:06:44,300 --> 01:06:47,261
Yeah, and too many maybes
is reasonable doubt.

1390
01:06:47,397 --> 01:06:48,465
[man] I agree with Justin.

1391
01:06:49,802 --> 01:06:50,797
Yeah.

1392
01:06:52,674 --> 01:06:54,108
Okay. Keiko?

1393
01:06:58,514 --> 01:06:59,509
Nellie?

1394
01:07:01,350 --> 01:07:04,850
I'm not sure any more that
this young man is guilty.

1395
01:07:04,986 --> 01:07:07,022
Right. Okay. Anyone else?

1396
01:07:08,382 --> 01:07:09,321
Not guilty.

1397
01:07:09,855 --> 01:07:11,385
Okay.

1398
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:13,589
[suspenseful music playing]

1399
01:07:17,799 --> 01:07:19,159
[sighs softly]

1400
01:07:19,295 --> 01:07:21,466
[man grunting]

1401
01:07:21,601 --> 01:07:25,170
I fell asleep on Highway 17
and woke up in a ditch.

1402
01:07:25,306 --> 01:07:26,800
Thank God the hospital
was close.

1403
01:07:28,336 --> 01:07:30,738
Hmm. Okay.

1404
01:07:32,716 --> 01:07:33,943
Thank you for your time.

1405
01:07:34,078 --> 01:07:36,282
[man] Yep.

1406
01:07:36,417 --> 01:07:38,586
Yeah, we were street racing
down Greek Row.

1407
01:07:38,722 --> 01:07:39,879
It was dumb. I know.

1408
01:07:46,157 --> 01:07:47,194
[chuckles softly]

1409
01:07:49,796 --> 01:07:50,824
[sighs]

1410
01:08:07,913 --> 01:08:08,908
Guilty.

1411
01:08:10,784 --> 01:08:11,779
Guilty.

1412
01:08:15,251 --> 01:08:16,388
Not guilty.

1413
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:19,886
Not guilty.

1414
01:08:23,500 --> 01:08:24,462
Guilty.

1415
01:08:26,203 --> 01:08:28,598
All right. It looks like
we're six to six.

1416
01:08:29,530 --> 01:08:30,871
We're deadlocked.

1417
01:08:31,006 --> 01:08:32,537
Okay, so what do we do now?

1418
01:08:32,672 --> 01:08:35,433
Feels like the more we talk,
the less we know.

1419
01:08:35,569 --> 01:08:37,975
I'm so tired.

1420
01:08:38,111 --> 01:08:40,842
You're so stoned, dear.

1421
01:08:40,977 --> 01:08:42,641
- [mouthing]
- Let's go back
to the beginning.

1422
01:08:42,776 --> 01:08:44,647
Build a case piece by piece.

1423
01:08:44,782 --> 01:08:47,815
No, no. Let's stop
wasting our damn time.

1424
01:08:47,951 --> 01:08:50,785
How about we all just
take a breath. It's...

1425
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:52,419
It's been a long day,
but, you know, votes...

1426
01:08:52,555 --> 01:08:53,661
votes have changed, right?

1427
01:08:53,797 --> 01:08:55,196
The process is working.

1428
01:08:55,331 --> 01:08:58,032
[woman] No, it's not.
You are wearing us down.

1429
01:08:58,167 --> 01:09:00,927
Talking a lot,
but saying nothing.

1430
01:09:01,063 --> 01:09:03,301
I mean, hell, you go over
anything enough times,

1431
01:09:03,436 --> 01:09:04,939
yeah, we'll start
to question it.

1432
01:09:05,074 --> 01:09:07,335
Yeah. Like which shoes to wear.

1433
01:09:07,470 --> 01:09:09,740
Yeah. Look... [sighs]

1434
01:09:09,876 --> 01:09:12,609
We got all these theories,
y'all, but no new evidence.

1435
01:09:12,744 --> 01:09:14,347
Well, yeah, but those
theories are making

1436
01:09:14,482 --> 01:09:16,251
some of us question
James Sythe's guilt.

1437
01:09:16,386 --> 01:09:19,016
No. No, no. You can
question it all you want,

1438
01:09:19,152 --> 01:09:21,288
but I know he's guilty.

1439
01:09:22,750 --> 01:09:24,324
Just look at his damn neck.

1440
01:09:26,252 --> 01:09:28,026
Hey, my man. I know you
got a picture of him

1441
01:09:28,161 --> 01:09:29,164
in that book of yours.

1442
01:09:31,125 --> 01:09:34,433
I mean, yeah,
but it's not perfect, but...

1443
01:09:35,729 --> 01:09:37,903
Yes. See? Right there.

1444
01:09:38,038 --> 01:09:40,006
Snake and a crown.

1445
01:09:40,141 --> 01:09:41,639
That's the West Side Crowns.

1446
01:09:41,774 --> 01:09:44,339
They're the biggest
drug pushers in the city.

1447
01:09:44,474 --> 01:09:45,706
How do you know that?

1448
01:09:45,842 --> 01:09:48,040
Because I run
the Boys and Girls Club.

1449
01:09:48,175 --> 01:09:51,186
These guys are poisoning
their own community.

1450
01:09:54,321 --> 01:09:55,518
This case is personal to you.

1451
01:09:55,654 --> 01:09:56,983
Yeah, well, you're
damn right it is.

1452
01:10:00,820 --> 01:10:04,325
My little brother was 14

1453
01:10:04,460 --> 01:10:05,728
when he got inked.

1454
01:10:08,329 --> 01:10:11,798
A month before
his 17th birthday,
he was dead.

1455
01:10:11,934 --> 01:10:13,670
Caught a stray bullet
in some...

1456
01:10:14,835 --> 01:10:17,476
tit-for-tat turf bullshit.

1457
01:10:19,873 --> 01:10:22,007
I'm sorry. I had no idea.

1458
01:10:22,143 --> 01:10:24,879
Yeah, that's right.
You have no idea.

1459
01:10:28,382 --> 01:10:33,492
Look, Sythe did say
that he left that life behind.

1460
01:10:33,627 --> 01:10:35,593
There's only one way
to leave that crew.

1461
01:10:37,700 --> 01:10:39,058
So...

1462
01:10:39,193 --> 01:10:42,198
You can keep talking
about your theories.

1463
01:10:42,334 --> 01:10:43,898
Look, people can change.

1464
01:10:44,033 --> 01:10:45,235
[King] Yeah.
Keep telling yourself that.

1465
01:10:45,370 --> 01:10:46,532
I... I do. Every day.

1466
01:10:46,668 --> 01:10:48,541
Well, I drive a bus,

1467
01:10:48,676 --> 01:10:50,437
and I see the same people
day in and day out,

1468
01:10:50,573 --> 01:10:51,904
and they do not change.

1469
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:54,410
Well, then how
am I sitting here?

1470
01:10:54,545 --> 01:10:55,574
What are you talking about?

1471
01:10:55,709 --> 01:10:56,713
I should be dead.

1472
01:10:57,787 --> 01:10:58,715
I should...

1473
01:11:00,013 --> 01:11:02,154
A little over four years ago,

1474
01:11:02,290 --> 01:11:03,586
I wrapped my car around a tree

1475
01:11:03,722 --> 01:11:05,656
with a blood alcohol
level that,

1476
01:11:05,791 --> 01:11:07,126
you know, probably
should have killed me

1477
01:11:07,261 --> 01:11:08,424
before I even got in the car

1478
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:11,121
and somehow... [clears throat]

1479
01:11:11,257 --> 01:11:12,625
walked away
with barely a scratch.

1480
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:14,126
[King] Mmm. Lucky you.

1481
01:11:14,261 --> 01:11:16,035
[Justin] Yeah. Yeah,
part of my sentence

1482
01:11:16,170 --> 01:11:17,636
was community service.

1483
01:11:17,771 --> 01:11:18,940
I spent three days a week
in an elementary school

1484
01:11:19,075 --> 01:11:21,034
teaching kids how to write.

1485
01:11:21,169 --> 01:11:24,772
Uh... Alcoholics,
we can charm anybody.

1486
01:11:24,908 --> 01:11:27,408
But the teacher
I was reporting to,

1487
01:11:27,544 --> 01:11:28,773
I mean, she was Teflon.

1488
01:11:28,909 --> 01:11:30,883
She saw right through me.

1489
01:11:31,018 --> 01:11:32,585
And she...

1490
01:11:32,721 --> 01:11:35,323
She made me finally want to,
you know, own my shit

1491
01:11:35,458 --> 01:11:38,216
and just take
responsibility for myself.

1492
01:11:40,557 --> 01:11:41,523
I'm... [clears throat]

1493
01:11:41,659 --> 01:11:43,023
I'm still not sure what I did

1494
01:11:43,158 --> 01:11:44,594
to get a woman like her
to give me a chance.

1495
01:11:44,730 --> 01:11:48,433
But her belief
and believing in myself,

1496
01:11:48,569 --> 01:11:50,864
that I could change,
that was...

1497
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:52,967
That was, you know,
the first step.

1498
01:11:54,007 --> 01:11:55,435
And...

1499
01:11:55,570 --> 01:11:56,969
Look, the, uh...

1500
01:11:57,104 --> 01:11:59,372
the journey never ends,
I know that...

1501
01:11:59,507 --> 01:12:00,612
But...

1502
01:12:01,950 --> 01:12:02,845
that's...

1503
01:12:04,019 --> 01:12:05,652
that's four years.

1504
01:12:05,787 --> 01:12:08,719
And am I the same man
that I was four years ago? No.

1505
01:12:09,617 --> 01:12:10,890
Absolutely not.

1506
01:12:11,026 --> 01:12:12,488
Yeah, well...

1507
01:12:12,623 --> 01:12:14,329
Now I can see... [chuckles]

1508
01:12:15,491 --> 01:12:16,595
You changed.

1509
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:19,631
But guys like James Sythe,

1510
01:12:20,497 --> 01:12:22,159
they don't change.

1511
01:12:22,295 --> 01:12:24,537
Okay. Think back
to his testimony.

1512
01:12:24,672 --> 01:12:28,370
That was raw and real,
and I believed it.

1513
01:12:28,506 --> 01:12:30,476
Wait, hold on, gang.

1514
01:12:30,611 --> 01:12:32,541
If Sythe didn't do it,
then who did?

1515
01:12:32,677 --> 01:12:34,648
We don't have to answer that.

1516
01:12:34,784 --> 01:12:36,450
So no one's going to pay for
what happened to that girl?

1517
01:12:36,586 --> 01:12:38,945
- No, someone will pay.
- How do you know that?

1518
01:12:39,081 --> 01:12:40,548
Because somebody
always does. Look...

1519
01:12:40,684 --> 01:12:42,015
Look, I get how you feel,

1520
01:12:42,151 --> 01:12:44,819
but you can't let
your feelings sway you.

1521
01:12:44,954 --> 01:12:46,519
You don't know
anything about me, man.

1522
01:12:46,654 --> 01:12:47,725
All right.

1523
01:12:50,728 --> 01:12:52,860
How... how old's your daughter?

1524
01:12:52,995 --> 01:12:54,435
That's her
on the key chain, right?

1525
01:12:57,302 --> 01:12:59,005
Yeah. She, um...

1526
01:12:59,141 --> 01:13:01,241
She turned 16 in March.

1527
01:13:01,377 --> 01:13:02,674
How often do you
get to see her?

1528
01:13:05,212 --> 01:13:06,908
Not often enough.

1529
01:13:07,044 --> 01:13:09,613
You know, during the trial,
I was sat

1530
01:13:09,749 --> 01:13:11,346
right in Kendall's
parents' eyeline.

1531
01:13:11,482 --> 01:13:12,552
I could see...

1532
01:13:14,146 --> 01:13:15,851
I mean, their pain each day.

1533
01:13:15,987 --> 01:13:18,217
And, you know, what if
she were your daughter?

1534
01:13:19,159 --> 01:13:20,493
[stammers]

1535
01:13:20,629 --> 01:13:22,489
You want justice, right?
An eye for an eye.

1536
01:13:22,624 --> 01:13:24,358
Right. Yeah.

1537
01:13:24,493 --> 01:13:26,190
But then James Sythe's family
was in court each day, too.

1538
01:13:26,326 --> 01:13:27,834
You know, his grandma
and his niece.

1539
01:13:27,969 --> 01:13:29,665
Uh...

1540
01:13:29,801 --> 01:13:31,736
What if he were
your son, right?

1541
01:13:33,334 --> 01:13:34,739
Wouldn't you want justice
for him, too?

1542
01:13:37,170 --> 01:13:39,612
Yeah. Yeah, I suppose, I would.

1543
01:13:41,049 --> 01:13:42,175
[Robinson sighs]

1544
01:13:51,084 --> 01:13:53,087
[suspenseful music playing]

1545
01:14:18,252 --> 01:14:19,247
[engine roars]

1546
01:14:19,383 --> 01:14:20,455
[sighs]

1547
01:14:27,889 --> 01:14:29,893
So how can I help you?

1548
01:14:30,028 --> 01:14:31,395
Well, I just want
to have a little chat

1549
01:14:31,531 --> 01:14:32,793
about what happened here.

1550
01:14:32,929 --> 01:14:34,469
Just have a little one on one.

1551
01:14:34,604 --> 01:14:35,963
Maybe I could get
some more information

1552
01:14:36,099 --> 01:14:39,233
if something came to you
new, you know?

1553
01:14:39,368 --> 01:14:43,175
Well, like I said at the trial,
the police come by.

1554
01:14:43,311 --> 01:14:44,776
Showed me a picture,

1555
01:14:44,912 --> 01:14:46,447
asked me if he was the man
I saw that night.

1556
01:14:46,583 --> 01:14:48,974
Mmm. They show you
any other pictures?

1557
01:14:49,110 --> 01:14:50,814
Oh, no. They knew it was him.

1558
01:14:50,950 --> 01:14:53,546
They... They just needed me
to confirm it.

1559
01:14:53,681 --> 01:14:54,852
Right.

1560
01:14:55,851 --> 01:14:57,115
I was happy to do so.

1561
01:14:57,250 --> 01:15:00,055
I mean, everyone
was so generous.

1562
01:15:00,190 --> 01:15:03,055
And if I could say so,
it felt pretty good

1563
01:15:03,190 --> 01:15:05,566
- to be needed again.
- Mmm.

1564
01:15:06,332 --> 01:15:08,066
I'm sure it did.

1565
01:15:08,201 --> 01:15:10,196
All right. Well,
if there's anything else
I can do for you,

1566
01:15:10,332 --> 01:15:12,571
just give a holler.
Tea is always hot.

1567
01:15:12,706 --> 01:15:14,031
[chuckles] Okay.
Thank you so much.

1568
01:15:14,167 --> 01:15:15,141
Thanks for your time, sir.

1569
01:15:15,276 --> 01:15:16,643
Uh, James Sythe...

1570
01:15:19,481 --> 01:15:21,780
He did kill that girl, right?

1571
01:15:26,517 --> 01:15:27,819
[exhales]

1572
01:15:30,420 --> 01:15:33,389
Okay, so does anybody else
want to change their vote?

1573
01:15:33,524 --> 01:15:34,958
[chuckles]

1574
01:15:35,823 --> 01:15:37,191
Uh, well...

1575
01:15:38,994 --> 01:15:40,025
It doesn't matter anyway.

1576
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:41,897
[Aldworth] What do you mean?

1577
01:15:42,033 --> 01:15:44,504
Because I haven't
changed my mind.

1578
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:45,832
All right, well,
let's just keep talking.

1579
01:15:45,968 --> 01:15:49,071
No, no, I'm done talking.

1580
01:15:49,770 --> 01:15:51,205
Marcus.

1581
01:15:51,341 --> 01:15:54,379
So what? You're gonna
tell the judge, we...

1582
01:15:54,515 --> 01:15:56,546
we can't reach a verdict?

1583
01:15:56,682 --> 01:15:58,342
[woman] It is what it is.

1584
01:15:58,477 --> 01:16:00,177
But we're actually
making progress.

1585
01:16:00,313 --> 01:16:03,252
- [scoffs] Progress?
- Yeah.

1586
01:16:03,388 --> 01:16:05,616
How can we continue if we
can't even reach a verdict?

1587
01:16:05,751 --> 01:16:08,354
We've been at this for
I don't even know how long.

1588
01:16:09,164 --> 01:16:10,422
My kids need me.

1589
01:16:12,227 --> 01:16:13,898
I'm just trying
to do my job here.

1590
01:16:15,027 --> 01:16:17,562
Okay? Um...

1591
01:16:17,697 --> 01:16:19,638
Courtney, what about you?
Do you want to keep going?

1592
01:16:19,774 --> 01:16:22,368
I don't know.
Look, he yelled at her.

1593
01:16:22,503 --> 01:16:25,171
He grabbed her arm.
He called her a bitch.

1594
01:16:25,307 --> 01:16:27,413
He was possessive
and temperamental.

1595
01:16:27,549 --> 01:16:30,409
No, he was abusive. Screw him.

1596
01:16:31,650 --> 01:16:33,379
Yeah. You're right.

1597
01:16:34,189 --> 01:16:35,512
Screw him.

1598
01:16:35,648 --> 01:16:37,458
Great. [chuckles]
For the third time,

1599
01:16:37,594 --> 01:16:38,851
I get to go home
and tell my husband,

1600
01:16:38,987 --> 01:16:39,918
"Guess what, honey?

1601
01:16:40,054 --> 01:16:42,353
[laughs] I did nothing."

1602
01:16:42,489 --> 01:16:44,522
He gets a real kick
out of that.

1603
01:16:44,658 --> 01:16:46,733
I'm sorry, Denice.
I'm not changing my vote.

1604
01:16:47,599 --> 01:16:49,102
Neither am I.

1605
01:16:49,238 --> 01:16:51,232
Yeah. Me, too.

1606
01:16:55,972 --> 01:16:57,238
[man] So what do we do then?

1607
01:16:57,904 --> 01:16:58,910
Um...

1608
01:17:00,373 --> 01:17:02,144
there's one thing we could try.

1609
01:17:03,584 --> 01:17:06,181
[sighs] Madam Foreperson.

1610
01:17:07,756 --> 01:17:09,752
Sending a jury
to visit a crime scene

1611
01:17:09,888 --> 01:17:11,283
once deliberations have begun

1612
01:17:11,419 --> 01:17:13,824
is not something
I would typically allow.

1613
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:15,321
With all due respect,
Your Honor,

1614
01:17:15,457 --> 01:17:18,290
this has not been
a typical deliberation.

1615
01:17:18,426 --> 01:17:20,125
But I do think
it will be beneficial

1616
01:17:20,261 --> 01:17:21,936
in helping us reach a verdict.

1617
01:17:22,071 --> 01:17:22,967
I see.

1618
01:17:25,738 --> 01:17:27,103
Mr. Resnick. Any objections?

1619
01:17:28,133 --> 01:17:29,474
No, Your Honor.

1620
01:17:29,609 --> 01:17:30,843
Okay, Miss Killebrew?

1621
01:17:32,877 --> 01:17:34,576
The State's fine with it.

1622
01:17:34,711 --> 01:17:35,749
All right, then.

1623
01:17:36,649 --> 01:17:39,147
Here are the rules.

1624
01:17:39,283 --> 01:17:41,655
During your visit,
you are not to speak

1625
01:17:41,791 --> 01:17:43,615
to anyone outside
of your jury panel,

1626
01:17:43,750 --> 01:17:48,322
nor are you to speak to
each other about this case.

1627
01:17:48,457 --> 01:17:50,357
All right, you are there
to view the locations

1628
01:17:50,492 --> 01:17:53,493
in and around where
the crime took place.

1629
01:17:53,628 --> 01:17:58,165
And you are not to collect
evidence of any kind.

1630
01:17:58,301 --> 01:18:00,531
Does everyone
understand these rules?

1631
01:18:00,667 --> 01:18:02,571
- Yes, ma'am.
- [jurors] Yes, Your Honor.

1632
01:18:02,706 --> 01:18:03,744
All right, then.

1633
01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:06,307
This court is adjourned.

1634
01:18:08,474 --> 01:18:10,245
Hey. Hey. Can... Can we talk?

1635
01:18:12,218 --> 01:18:14,216
Yeah, great. Great.
I'll see you there. Thanks.

1636
01:18:15,851 --> 01:18:17,054
[knock at door]

1637
01:18:20,119 --> 01:18:21,652
[knocks at door]

1638
01:18:30,271 --> 01:18:31,670
Hello?

1639
01:18:31,805 --> 01:18:34,232
Oh, hey, are you
Allison Crewson?

1640
01:18:34,368 --> 01:18:36,070
Yes, I am. Yeah. Who are you?

1641
01:18:36,205 --> 01:18:37,834
I'm, um... I'm Faith Killebrew.

1642
01:18:37,970 --> 01:18:40,544
I'm a prosecutor with
the District Attorney's office.

1643
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:42,740
Do you mind if we talk?

1644
01:18:42,876 --> 01:18:44,680
I was just about to lay down,
but what is this about?

1645
01:18:44,816 --> 01:18:46,983
It'll only be a minute.

1646
01:18:47,118 --> 01:18:48,921
- Okay. Come in.
- Okay. Thank you.

1647
01:18:55,325 --> 01:18:56,757
Uh, I'm sorry
for the intrusion.

1648
01:18:56,892 --> 01:18:58,628
I won't be long.

1649
01:18:58,764 --> 01:19:00,560
I'm following up on a...

1650
01:19:00,695 --> 01:19:03,066
on a few different accidents
from October last year,

1651
01:19:03,202 --> 01:19:05,095
just doing routine checks
on any cars

1652
01:19:05,231 --> 01:19:07,899
that were serviced
for major body damage
around that time.

1653
01:19:08,034 --> 01:19:09,135
Okay.

1654
01:19:09,271 --> 01:19:11,108
So on October 25th last year,

1655
01:19:11,243 --> 01:19:14,707
did you own a 1996
green Toyota 4Runner?

1656
01:19:14,843 --> 01:19:16,378
Yes.

1657
01:19:16,513 --> 01:19:17,783
Mmm-hmm. And do you remember
having any body work

1658
01:19:17,919 --> 01:19:20,281
- done on it around that time?
- Yeah.

1659
01:19:20,416 --> 01:19:23,414
Okay. And how was
your car damaged?

1660
01:19:23,549 --> 01:19:25,282
My husband, Justin, hit a deer.

1661
01:19:25,417 --> 01:19:27,058
Okay. Any idea where?

1662
01:19:28,189 --> 01:19:29,720
Up on Brimstone Pass.

1663
01:19:30,596 --> 01:19:31,693
You sure?

1664
01:19:31,829 --> 01:19:34,692
[laughs] Yeah.

1665
01:19:34,827 --> 01:19:36,870
Could it have been
Old Quarry Road? Or...

1666
01:19:38,431 --> 01:19:40,137
No, it was Brimstone Pass.

1667
01:19:41,706 --> 01:19:42,700
You're positive.

1668
01:19:43,774 --> 01:19:44,944
Positive.

1669
01:19:46,948 --> 01:19:49,476
Okay. Great.
Well, that's all I have.

1670
01:19:51,416 --> 01:19:53,953
Thank you very much
for your time, Mrs. Crewson.

1671
01:19:54,089 --> 01:19:56,549
And, uh, congratulations.
When are you due?

1672
01:19:57,787 --> 01:19:59,117
Uh...

1673
01:19:59,252 --> 01:20:00,485
Yeah, any day now.

1674
01:20:00,621 --> 01:20:01,960
[laughs] Well,
good luck with that.

1675
01:20:02,096 --> 01:20:03,756
You want me to do anything
before I go?

1676
01:20:03,892 --> 01:20:05,261
- No, no. No.
- Okay. Well, I'll just
see myself out.

1677
01:20:05,396 --> 01:20:06,690
- No. I'll get you...
- No, you stay there.

1678
01:20:06,826 --> 01:20:08,630
- Okay, all right.
- No, it's good. [laughs]

1679
01:20:08,766 --> 01:20:09,634
- Have a good one.
- Thank you.
Thanks for your time.

1680
01:20:09,770 --> 01:20:10,299
- Bye.
- Bye, now.

1681
01:20:11,099 --> 01:20:12,032
[door closes]

1682
01:20:12,167 --> 01:20:13,841
[tense music playing]

1683
01:20:27,115 --> 01:20:28,955
[bell ringing]

1684
01:20:32,225 --> 01:20:34,453
Hey. Sorry I couldn't
meet you earlier.

1685
01:20:34,589 --> 01:20:36,263
- No worries.
- What's on your mind?

1686
01:20:36,398 --> 01:20:37,321
The trial.

1687
01:20:37,456 --> 01:20:39,291
Well, yeah, I figured.

1688
01:20:39,426 --> 01:20:40,993
It's headed for a hung jury.

1689
01:20:41,129 --> 01:20:42,166
[man] Justin!

1690
01:20:43,099 --> 01:20:45,034
- Thanks.
- Enjoy.

1691
01:20:45,169 --> 01:20:47,664
- I got you a coffee.
- Thanks.

1692
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:49,601
Obviously, I want
to acquit the guy,

1693
01:20:49,737 --> 01:20:52,108
but if the jury hangs,
it's a mistrial, right?

1694
01:20:52,243 --> 01:20:54,607
- That's right.
- So problem solved.

1695
01:20:54,742 --> 01:20:56,542
Well, given all the press
on this case,

1696
01:20:56,678 --> 01:20:58,778
the public's going
to demand a retrial.

1697
01:20:58,914 --> 01:21:01,119
We're just gonna have to do it
all over again with Sythe.

1698
01:21:01,255 --> 01:21:03,089
Unless the District Attorney's
office decides

1699
01:21:03,224 --> 01:21:06,687
that he's not the guy,
then they'll find the guy.

1700
01:21:06,823 --> 01:21:09,021
And there's no way that this
case ends without a verdict.

1701
01:21:09,156 --> 01:21:11,556
Once they get that,
then, yeah, it's over.
Then it's done.

1702
01:21:11,692 --> 01:21:13,527
So you're saying
I need a verdict?

1703
01:21:14,228 --> 01:21:15,397
I'm afraid so.

1704
01:21:30,176 --> 01:21:31,347
[sighs]

1705
01:21:32,711 --> 01:21:34,746
Hey, can you meet me at County?

1706
01:21:55,544 --> 01:21:56,405
[Allison] Hey.

1707
01:21:57,404 --> 01:21:59,771
Hey. Everything okay?

1708
01:22:01,809 --> 01:22:04,050
Just checking the car.
Might have a buyer.

1709
01:22:10,453 --> 01:22:11,926
Where'd you hit
that deer again?

1710
01:22:14,059 --> 01:22:16,161
Up on Brimstone Pass, right?

1711
01:22:17,762 --> 01:22:18,625
Mmm.

1712
01:22:20,466 --> 01:22:22,398
Are you sure that
it wasn't Old Quarry Road?

1713
01:22:23,638 --> 01:22:24,939
I'm positive.

1714
01:22:25,870 --> 01:22:26,831
That's...

1715
01:22:27,642 --> 01:22:29,668
Just that's ex...

1716
01:22:29,803 --> 01:22:32,238
"Positive," that's what
I said to the...

1717
01:22:32,374 --> 01:22:33,938
prosecutor from your trial

1718
01:22:34,074 --> 01:22:36,280
when she just interrogated me
in our living room.

1719
01:22:37,512 --> 01:22:38,810
- What? She was here.
- Yeah.

1720
01:22:40,719 --> 01:22:42,616
I looked her up.
She wanted to know about
your accident.

1721
01:22:44,217 --> 01:22:45,223
That--

1722
01:22:46,926 --> 01:22:48,329
What'd you tell her?

1723
01:22:48,464 --> 01:22:49,425
The truth.

1724
01:22:52,030 --> 01:22:53,099
That you hit a deer

1725
01:22:54,065 --> 01:22:55,398
up on Brimstone Pass.

1726
01:22:56,868 --> 01:22:58,830
Okay. Good.

1727
01:23:00,468 --> 01:23:01,602
That is the truth, right?

1728
01:23:04,109 --> 01:23:05,802
Did you take the shortcut...

1729
01:23:05,938 --> 01:23:07,476
home through
Old Quarry that night?

1730
01:23:09,678 --> 01:23:11,612
Did you stop
at Rowdy's Hideaway?

1731
01:23:15,854 --> 01:23:16,881
[Allison sighs]

1732
01:23:23,027 --> 01:23:24,064
Did you drink?

1733
01:23:25,700 --> 01:23:26,726
[sighs softly]

1734
01:23:32,705 --> 01:23:33,700
Did you?

1735
01:23:35,667 --> 01:23:37,737
Justin. Did you drink?

1736
01:23:39,279 --> 01:23:41,813
- Talk to me.
- No, no, I didn't drink.

1737
01:23:41,949 --> 01:23:43,941
I didn't drink. Okay? I...

1738
01:23:47,186 --> 01:23:48,847
I stopped and I [stammering]...

1739
01:23:48,982 --> 01:23:50,520
I ordered the drink,
but I didn't touch it.

1740
01:23:50,655 --> 01:23:52,558
Ordered, but didn't drink.
Why would I believe that?

1741
01:23:52,694 --> 01:23:54,393
- Because that's the truth.
I promise. I swear.
- You swear?

1742
01:23:54,529 --> 01:23:56,219
Why should I believe that?
Why should I believe anything

1743
01:23:56,355 --> 01:23:57,623
- that you're saying anymore?
- I promise. I swear to you.

1744
01:23:57,759 --> 01:23:58,865
- I swear to you.
- You swear to me?

1745
01:23:59,001 --> 01:23:59,897
- I swear.
- Don't lie to me.

1746
01:24:00,033 --> 01:24:01,031
I'm not lying. I promise.

1747
01:24:01,167 --> 01:24:02,963
I promise. That is the truth.

1748
01:24:03,098 --> 01:24:03,895
Okay?

1749
01:24:05,266 --> 01:24:06,304
Look, it...

1750
01:24:08,169 --> 01:24:09,175
It...

1751
01:24:11,071 --> 01:24:13,408
It was the twins' due date
and I couldn't deal

1752
01:24:13,544 --> 01:24:14,571
with the feelings
that I was having.

1753
01:24:14,707 --> 01:24:16,415
I couldn't deal with them,

1754
01:24:16,551 --> 01:24:18,184
so I didn't want to bring them
home and put them on you.

1755
01:24:18,917 --> 01:24:20,184
So I went there.

1756
01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:21,919
I sat there for a while,
and then I...

1757
01:24:22,054 --> 01:24:23,850
and then I came home.

1758
01:24:23,985 --> 01:24:26,056
[voice shaking] Why didn't
you tell me any of this?

1759
01:24:26,192 --> 01:24:27,855
Why did you keep this from me?

1760
01:24:27,991 --> 01:24:29,059
- I wanted... I wanted to.
- You could've talked to me.

1761
01:24:29,195 --> 01:24:30,289
But you were in so much pain.

1762
01:24:30,425 --> 01:24:32,694
Of course I was in pain.

1763
01:24:32,829 --> 01:24:34,431
I kept thinking that I was
somehow responsible,

1764
01:24:34,567 --> 01:24:35,934
that it was my fault,
that it's still my...

1765
01:24:36,070 --> 01:24:37,467
No. No. It was not your fault.

1766
01:24:37,602 --> 01:24:38,938
- They were my babies.
- It's not... It's not...

1767
01:24:39,073 --> 01:24:40,702
- They were our babies.
- I know.

1768
01:24:40,837 --> 01:24:43,735
None... None... None of this
is your fault, okay?

1769
01:24:43,871 --> 01:24:45,937
We were both hurting.
It still hurts.

1770
01:24:48,475 --> 01:24:49,578
I'm still hurting.

1771
01:24:53,687 --> 01:24:54,583
Me, too.

1772
01:24:56,317 --> 01:24:57,784
Yeah. Yeah.

1773
01:25:02,190 --> 01:25:03,796
[sighs]

1774
01:25:03,932 --> 01:25:06,195
I'm not doing this alone.

1775
01:25:06,330 --> 01:25:08,227
No, you're not. You're not.

1776
01:25:08,362 --> 01:25:09,563
You are not.

1777
01:25:09,698 --> 01:25:12,601
I will protect our family.
I will.

1778
01:25:14,808 --> 01:25:16,242
I promise. Okay?

1779
01:25:19,475 --> 01:25:21,412
Hey, come here. Come here.

1780
01:25:22,650 --> 01:25:23,744
[sighs]

1781
01:25:37,493 --> 01:25:38,789
What the hell is going on?

1782
01:25:38,924 --> 01:25:40,825
- Ugh, I need to see him.
- Why?

1783
01:25:40,961 --> 01:25:42,165
I need him
to look me in the eye

1784
01:25:42,300 --> 01:25:43,467
and tell me he didn't do it.

1785
01:25:45,401 --> 01:25:46,466
So you're having doubts?

1786
01:25:46,602 --> 01:25:47,641
I'm right. You're doubting it?

1787
01:25:47,776 --> 01:25:49,635
I... I don't know.

1788
01:25:49,771 --> 01:25:51,278
What do you mean
you don't know?

1789
01:25:51,413 --> 01:25:52,638
Come on. You know
something isn't right here.

1790
01:25:52,773 --> 01:25:54,741
The jury knows it. It's just...

1791
01:25:54,876 --> 01:25:56,609
Can you prove
that's what happened?

1792
01:25:56,744 --> 01:25:58,944
Can you prove it didn't?
Can you?

1793
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:01,012
[Faith] I don't know.
Just get me in there.

1794
01:26:04,925 --> 01:26:06,160
[door buzzes]

1795
01:26:12,459 --> 01:26:13,662
[door slams]

1796
01:26:16,795 --> 01:26:17,864
What are you doing here?

1797
01:26:19,664 --> 01:26:20,636
Have a seat.

1798
01:26:22,341 --> 01:26:23,507
I shouldn't be talking to you.

1799
01:26:24,537 --> 01:26:25,509
It's okay.

1800
01:26:31,853 --> 01:26:33,011
What do you want?

1801
01:26:34,317 --> 01:26:36,252
Same thing as you.

1802
01:26:36,387 --> 01:26:37,851
Justice for Kendall Carter.

1803
01:26:37,986 --> 01:26:39,886
So go find the son of a bitch
who did it.

1804
01:26:42,557 --> 01:26:44,229
Look, there's no jury,

1805
01:26:44,365 --> 01:26:46,891
no judge, no cameras.
So just...

1806
01:26:47,027 --> 01:26:48,328
tell me what happened
that night.

1807
01:26:48,464 --> 01:26:50,468
I told you. I went home.

1808
01:26:52,633 --> 01:26:54,631
Right, but first, you...

1809
01:26:54,767 --> 01:26:56,804
you followed her, right?

1810
01:26:57,970 --> 01:26:59,345
Yeah. I mean, she was wasted.

1811
01:27:00,708 --> 01:27:02,711
Oh, no. So you felt angry

1812
01:27:02,846 --> 01:27:04,874
and, I don't know,
sick of being played?

1813
01:27:05,010 --> 01:27:07,353
No, no, that wasn't it. Okay?

1814
01:27:08,682 --> 01:27:10,490
It's just how Kenny was.

1815
01:27:10,626 --> 01:27:12,656
She'd get all worked up,
you know, talk this big game,

1816
01:27:12,791 --> 01:27:15,392
and the next day,
it'd be like nothing happened.

1817
01:27:15,528 --> 01:27:17,088
So she just needed
to chill out.

1818
01:27:18,161 --> 01:27:19,189
Right.

1819
01:27:20,560 --> 01:27:21,598
Yes, okay, I...

1820
01:27:23,096 --> 01:27:26,240
I know our relationship
wasn't perfect.

1821
01:27:28,406 --> 01:27:29,639
But we did love each other.

1822
01:27:32,706 --> 01:27:34,445
Now, listen, lady...

1823
01:27:34,580 --> 01:27:37,048
I've done a lot of things
in my life

1824
01:27:37,183 --> 01:27:38,318
that I'm not proud of.

1825
01:27:40,351 --> 01:27:42,751
But I didn't do this.

1826
01:27:47,094 --> 01:27:48,218
The biggest regret...

1827
01:27:49,997 --> 01:27:51,089
of my life...

1828
01:27:53,091 --> 01:27:54,362
is that I didn't
go after Kendall

1829
01:27:54,497 --> 01:27:55,731
in my car that night.

1830
01:27:57,665 --> 01:27:58,701
Because if I did...

1831
01:28:00,603 --> 01:28:02,034
Kenny would still be alive.

1832
01:28:05,374 --> 01:28:06,236
I'm done.

1833
01:28:08,707 --> 01:28:09,712
[bangs door]

1834
01:28:19,092 --> 01:28:20,118
[door closes]

1835
01:28:22,158 --> 01:28:23,957
[bailiff] All right, everybody,
on the bus. Let's go.

1836
01:28:27,462 --> 01:28:28,467
[laughing]

1837
01:28:37,605 --> 01:28:39,005
[Courtney laughs]

1838
01:28:41,674 --> 01:28:43,273
[snoring]

1839
01:29:01,169 --> 01:29:03,535
Ah. Look, but don't touch.

1840
01:29:04,565 --> 01:29:05,603
Put it back.

1841
01:29:14,141 --> 01:29:16,141
[country music playing
on speakers]

1842
01:30:05,326 --> 01:30:07,691
[bailiff] <i>Okay, y'all.
You ready to go?</i>

1843
01:30:07,827 --> 01:30:09,898
[music fades]

1844
01:30:31,357 --> 01:30:33,317
[tense music playing]

1845
01:30:40,093 --> 01:30:42,161
So this is where they fought.

1846
01:31:46,630 --> 01:31:47,996
Hey, you all right?

1847
01:31:49,336 --> 01:31:50,735
Yeah. I'm fine, thanks.

1848
01:31:51,369 --> 01:31:52,363
Nah, man.

1849
01:31:54,137 --> 01:31:55,839
You haven't been fine
since the start.

1850
01:31:58,273 --> 01:32:00,305
I think you've been playing us
this whole time.

1851
01:32:01,778 --> 01:32:02,714
I don't know what you mean.

1852
01:32:05,180 --> 01:32:06,850
The day you got
on the jury, you were...

1853
01:32:08,256 --> 01:32:10,988
puking in the bathroom.

1854
01:32:11,124 --> 01:32:13,725
All that stuff
with the Flower Man cop
and those papers.

1855
01:32:15,927 --> 01:32:17,020
You claim to be
the voice of reason,

1856
01:32:17,156 --> 01:32:18,794
but you're really just...

1857
01:32:18,930 --> 01:32:20,228
telling us
what we want to hear.

1858
01:32:20,364 --> 01:32:21,865
[clinks]

1859
01:32:29,206 --> 01:32:30,603
Now, I don't know
what game you're playing, man,

1860
01:32:30,739 --> 01:32:31,842
but I see you.

1861
01:32:35,476 --> 01:32:37,949
Do I know exactly
what happened that night?

1862
01:32:38,085 --> 01:32:39,514
No.

1863
01:32:39,650 --> 01:32:41,621
But neither do you.

1864
01:32:43,084 --> 01:32:45,457
And you can't be any more sure

1865
01:32:45,592 --> 01:32:47,958
that James Sythe got in his car

1866
01:32:48,093 --> 01:32:51,026
and drove home that night
than I'm sure he...

1867
01:32:52,862 --> 01:32:54,600
picked up one of these rocks

1868
01:32:54,735 --> 01:32:56,570
and bashed
that poor girl's head in.

1869
01:32:58,233 --> 01:32:59,738
And threw her body
in the creek.

1870
01:33:06,213 --> 01:33:08,274
Jesus, man.

1871
01:33:08,409 --> 01:33:10,540
- You nearly slipped.
- Yeah. [clears throat]

1872
01:33:15,753 --> 01:33:18,218
Maybe that hiker was right.

1873
01:33:18,353 --> 01:33:20,627
- Could have slipped.
- Yeah, maybe. Maybe.

1874
01:33:21,989 --> 01:33:23,124
But it doesn't matter.

1875
01:33:26,725 --> 01:33:29,460
That piece of shit
left her there that night...

1876
01:33:30,436 --> 01:33:32,566
alone, to die.

1877
01:33:32,701 --> 01:33:33,904
In a ditch.

1878
01:33:36,201 --> 01:33:37,843
Her death is on him.

1879
01:33:37,978 --> 01:33:40,647
Which is why I will never
acquit James Sythe.

1880
01:33:41,940 --> 01:33:42,946
Ever.

1881
01:33:47,215 --> 01:33:48,686
This trial ends
in only two ways,

1882
01:33:48,822 --> 01:33:51,620
either with a conviction
or a hung jury.

1883
01:33:51,756 --> 01:33:52,954
[Denice claps] All right.

1884
01:33:53,090 --> 01:33:54,518
Is everybody ready
to head home?

1885
01:33:56,993 --> 01:33:58,588
Is everybody done here, please?

1886
01:34:00,466 --> 01:34:01,426
[Marcus] Yeah.

1887
01:34:06,240 --> 01:34:07,168
Okay, let's go.

1888
01:34:10,545 --> 01:34:11,744
[Denice] Have you seen enough?

1889
01:34:12,608 --> 01:34:13,574
Yeah.

1890

Madam Foreperson.

1898
01:35:45,431 --> 01:35:47,037
Has the jury reached a verdict?

1899
01:35:47,869 --> 01:35:49,574
Yes, Your Honor.

1900
01:35:49,710 --> 01:35:51,778
And is that verdict unanimous?

1901
01:35:52,577 --> 01:35:53,703
Yes, Your Honor.

1902
01:36:21,034 --> 01:36:23,810
Will the defendant please stand
for the reading of the verdict?

1903
01:36:30,418 --> 01:36:34,619

Madam Foreperson?

1912
01:36:57,910 --> 01:36:59,274
To the best of your knowledge,

1913
01:36:59,409 --> 01:37:01,671
was this your verdict
in the jury room?

1914
01:37:01,806 --> 01:37:04,276
Was it freely
and voluntarily given?

1915
01:37:04,411 --> 01:37:05,819
And is this still your verdict?

1916
01:37:07,083 --> 01:37:08,619
[Denice] Yes, Your Honor.

1917
01:37:08,755 --> 01:37:10,020
[Judge Thelma] Very well.

1918
01:37:10,155 --> 01:37:11,986
Then the defendant
is hereby remanded

1919
01:37:12,121 --> 01:37:14,694
to the custody of the State.

1920
01:37:14,829 --> 01:37:16,995
Sentencing will be
at a later date.

1921
01:37:21,294 --> 01:37:23,331
[softly] Oh, James.

1922
01:37:27,598 --> 01:37:29,672
Thank you for your service.

1923
01:37:29,808 --> 01:37:30,976
It is now concluded.

1924
01:37:32,470 --> 01:37:33,770
This court is adjourned.

1925
01:37:41,850 --> 01:37:43,021

[sighs]

1930
01:39:02,263 --> 01:39:04,432
Hey. Good. Right there.

1931
01:39:06,201 --> 01:39:07,899
- Hey.
- Hey.

1932
01:39:08,035 --> 01:39:09,398
- What time does it start?
- Soon. I'm going to head out.

1933
01:39:09,534 --> 01:39:10,669
You sure you want to go?

1934
01:39:11,369 --> 01:39:12,468
Hey! Justin.

1935
01:39:12,603 --> 01:39:14,480
He wasn't a good guy.

1936
01:39:14,616 --> 01:39:15,905
It's not your fault.

1937
01:39:18,214 --> 01:39:19,414
I didn't stand up for him.

1938
01:39:21,253 --> 01:39:22,985
I told them what they
needed to hear,

1939
01:39:23,120 --> 01:39:24,386
and said he couldn't change.

1940
01:39:25,850 --> 01:39:27,653
And I have
to live with that, so...

1941
01:39:31,525 --> 01:39:32,460
The least I can do is be there.

1942
01:39:34,899 --> 01:39:35,969
[door closes]

1943
01:39:38,231 --> 01:39:39,467
Hi, peanut.

1944
01:39:54,314 --> 01:39:55,219
This came for you.

1945
01:40:28,520 --> 01:40:31,387
Will the defendant
please stand for sentencing?

1946
01:40:35,287 --> 01:40:40,891
The murder of Kendall Carter
was violent and senseless.

1947
01:40:41,027 --> 01:40:43,664
The jury has found you
guilty of that murder,

1948
01:40:43,799 --> 01:40:46,864
for which this court
sentences you as follows.

1949
01:40:47,842 --> 01:40:50,175
Count one, malice murder.

1950
01:40:51,910 --> 01:40:53,176
Life in prison

1951
01:40:53,311 --> 01:40:55,180
without the possibility
of parole.

1952
01:40:57,052 --> 01:40:59,082
The defendant
is hereby remanded

1953
01:40:59,218 --> 01:41:00,911
to the Department
of Corrections

1954
01:41:01,046 --> 01:41:03,188
to serve the rest
of his life in prison.

Justin, hit a deer.</i>

[Justin] <i>My wife is of
a high-risk pregnancy.</i>

1958
01:41:45,498 --> 01:41:47,265
[Judge Thelma] This court
is now adjourned.

1959
01:42:08,655 --> 01:42:09,650
Hey.

1960
01:42:11,388 --> 01:42:12,917
I'm surprised you came today.

1961
01:42:16,129 --> 01:42:17,625
I wanted to see this through.

1962
01:42:18,425 --> 01:42:19,528
Yeah. Me too.

1963
01:42:24,903 --> 01:42:25,963
You look tired.

1964
01:42:28,434 --> 01:42:29,472
Likewise.

1965
01:42:30,904 --> 01:42:32,277
Well, I have
a new baby at home.

1966
01:42:33,540 --> 01:42:34,642
That's not what I meant.

1967
01:42:42,081 --> 01:42:43,519
Congratulations on winning
your election.

1968
01:42:43,654 --> 01:42:45,591
- I saw it in the paper.
- Oh, yeah. Thank you.

1969
01:42:45,726 --> 01:42:47,450
It's a pretty big deal.
You must have
worked hard for it.

1970
01:42:47,585 --> 01:42:48,590
Oh, I did.

1971
01:42:50,929 --> 01:42:53,166
There's a lot of good
you can do in that job,
I'd imagine.

1972
01:42:54,328 --> 01:42:55,399
Sometimes.

1973
01:42:57,371 --> 01:42:58,996
It's not as easy
as you think, though.

1974
01:43:00,708 --> 01:43:02,164
Never is.

1975
01:43:02,300 --> 01:43:04,505
Mmm. Sometimes you try
and do the right thing

1976
01:43:04,641 --> 01:43:06,245
only to realize
you got it all wrong.

1977
01:43:11,679 --> 01:43:14,177
And when you figure things out,

1978
01:43:14,312 --> 01:43:16,354
you realize the guy
you're after isn't some...

1979
01:43:17,350 --> 01:43:19,014
psycho.

1980
01:43:19,150 --> 01:43:20,688
He's not even
really a criminal.

1981
01:43:22,622 --> 01:43:24,296
He's just a regular guy.

1982
01:43:28,332 --> 01:43:29,691
What if it was an accident?

1983
01:43:29,827 --> 01:43:30,962
This is no accident.

1984
01:43:34,507 --> 01:43:36,737
It's impossible to prove,
either way.

1985
01:43:36,872 --> 01:43:38,970
Just like him
not realizing at the time

1986
01:43:39,105 --> 01:43:40,840
that he hit someone
with his car. It's...

1987
01:43:44,546 --> 01:43:45,812
You just have to trust him.

1988
01:43:47,812 --> 01:43:48,914
Why would I do that?

1989
01:43:50,222 --> 01:43:52,489
Because he's a good person.

1990
01:43:52,624 --> 01:43:54,919
He was caught
in terrible circumstances.

1991
01:43:55,055 --> 01:43:57,457
Mmm-hmm. No, you're right.
This is a...

1992
01:43:57,592 --> 01:43:58,924
[chuckles] It's a tough one.

1993
01:44:01,565 --> 01:44:03,027
He has a family
depending on him,

1994
01:44:03,163 --> 01:44:04,897
just like you have people
depending on you.

1995
01:44:06,204 --> 01:44:07,537
And what about justice?

1996
01:44:13,881 --> 01:44:15,539
Well, sometimes...

1997
01:44:15,675 --> 01:44:17,908
the truth isn't justice.

1998
01:44:18,044 --> 01:44:20,451
[scoffs] You really
believe that?

1999
01:44:26,060 --> 01:44:28,356
If you keep going with this,

2000
01:44:28,492 --> 01:44:30,624
the press will eat you alive.

2001
01:44:30,760 --> 01:44:32,698
Okay? This case
will follow you forever.

2002
01:44:32,833 --> 01:44:34,089
In the meantime,

2003
01:44:34,225 --> 01:44:36,366
some politician
will take your job,

2004
01:44:36,502 --> 01:44:38,468
a criminal goes back
on the street,

2005
01:44:38,603 --> 01:44:40,768
and a good man
and his family will be...

2006
01:44:42,238 --> 01:44:43,606
just destroyed.

2007
01:44:46,741 --> 01:44:48,941
Where is the justice in that?

2008
01:45:09,103 --> 01:45:11,128
[melancholy music playing]

2009
01:45:22,816 --> 01:45:23,844
Amen.

2010
01:45:41,960 --> 01:45:43,468
Looks like the storm passed.

2011
01:45:44,400 --> 01:45:46,196
Yeah. I think so.

2012

[Eric] Hello?
Where's our new DA?

2014

- Hey.
- Hey.

2015
01:46:16,194 --> 01:46:18,060
- For the new digs.
- Oh. [chuckles]

2016
01:46:18,195 --> 01:46:20,369
- Thanks.
- Yeah. It's real.

2017
01:46:20,504 --> 01:46:22,375
Easy plant to take care of.

2018
01:46:23,973 --> 01:46:26,704
- It really thrives on neglect.
- [chuckles]

2019
01:46:26,840 --> 01:46:28,909
- You did it.
- [sighs]

2020
01:46:30,645 --> 01:46:32,011
I hope it was worth it.

You're buying.

Kung fu!

2025
01:47:06,049 --> 01:47:09,084
- Hi.
- And the 4Runner
is officially sold.

2026
01:47:09,219 --> 01:47:10,049
Okay.

01:47:11,749 --> 01:47:12,755
[sighs]

01:47:13,620 --> 01:47:14,592

- Oh.

Good morning. Dada.

2033
01:47:25,272 --> 01:47:26,570
[Justin and Allison] Yeah.

2034
01:47:26,705 --> 01:47:28,571
- There she goes.
- Come here. Here we go.

2035
01:47:28,707 --> 01:47:31,674
Yeah. Yeah.
You're doing good. Hi.

2036
01:47:31,810 --> 01:47:34,738
[sighs] It sucks.
I think she has my eyes.

2037
01:47:34,873 --> 01:47:36,047
- Really?
- Yeah.

2038
01:47:36,182 --> 01:47:38,042
- No.
- Yeah.

2039
01:47:38,178 --> 01:47:39,650
- You have beautiful eyes.
- Well...

2040
01:47:40,716 --> 01:47:42,154
Look, I think, maybe mine.

2041
01:47:42,290 --> 01:47:43,486
They're changing a little bit.

2042
01:47:43,621 --> 01:47:46,248
- [baby cooing]
- Yeah, hi.

2043
01:47:46,383 --> 01:47:48,157
- She has my mouth.
- I hope not.

[both laugh]

2045
01:47:51,431 --> 01:47:52,657
Definitely your elbows, though.

My elbow. [gasps]

Look at your beautiful elbows.
You're blessed.

2049

- [laughs]
- My greatest feature.

My girls
with beautiful elbows. Yeah.

- [knock at door]
- Oh.

Oh.

2055
01:48:14,446 --> 01:48:16,178
Who could that be
at a time like this?

2056
01:48:16,314 --> 01:48:17,516
- Hey, peanut.
- There we go.

2057
01:48:17,651 --> 01:48:18,854
Hi, honey.

2058
01:48:19,520 --> 01:48:20,856
Okay.
