to his mom, Donna, often.
696
00:39:45,174 --> 00:39:48,176
He spoke to her multiple times
a day throughout the day,
697
00:39:48,177 --> 00:39:50,762
about different things
that was going on
698
00:39:50,763 --> 00:39:53,015
within their dental practice
699
00:39:53,016 --> 00:39:55,935
or just drama
within the family.
700
00:40:28,676 --> 00:40:30,927
PAT: Wendi doesn't know
what's best for her.
701
00:40:30,928 --> 00:40:33,221
Wendi needs to do this.
She needs to date this guy.
702
00:40:33,222 --> 00:40:36,266
She needs to stay
with this guy.
703
00:40:36,267 --> 00:40:40,687
Donna was very controlling,
constantly manipulating Wendi
704
00:40:40,688 --> 00:40:43,565
to do what she thought
she needed to do.
705
00:40:43,566 --> 00:40:45,568
And Charlie was
the fix-it man.
706
00:40:58,748 --> 00:41:01,708
[dial tone]
707
00:41:01,709 --> 00:41:04,711
[tense music]
708
00:41:04,712 --> 00:41:07,756
PAT: From the conversations
that we monitored,
709
00:41:07,757 --> 00:41:09,132
it's pretty revealing to us
710
00:41:09,133 --> 00:41:10,759
that Donna's
running things here
711
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,302
and had Charlie
doing her bidding.
712
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:15,180
♪ ♪
713
00:41:15,181 --> 00:41:17,599
We had some revealing
information about them,
714
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,853
but I can't arrest people based
on police officers' beliefs.
715
00:41:21,854 --> 00:41:24,481
I have to have actual evidence.
716
00:41:24,482 --> 00:41:26,608
- We needed people
to start talking
717
00:41:26,609 --> 00:41:28,777
about what had happened,
718
00:41:28,778 --> 00:41:30,487
but we're running out of time.
719
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:33,573
We didn't want
the wiretap to expire.
720
00:41:33,574 --> 00:41:35,909
PAT: So we decided
we had to do something.
721
00:41:35,910 --> 00:41:37,411
Let's go ahead and conduct
722
00:41:37,412 --> 00:41:39,454
an undercover operation
on Donna,
723
00:41:39,455 --> 00:41:41,373
the matriarch of the family.
724
00:41:41,374 --> 00:41:42,458
OFFICER: Stand by.
725
00:41:50,425 --> 00:41:53,301
- The Adelsons are this close
to getting away with it.
726
00:41:53,302 --> 00:41:57,347
We get one shot to do this,
or we're done.
727
00:41:57,348 --> 00:41:59,433
CRAIG:
This is the day of reckoning.
728
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:01,893
Your past is
catching up to you, Donna.
729
00:42:01,894 --> 00:42:04,062
PAT: I had no idea
of the craziness
730
00:42:04,063 --> 00:42:05,732
we were gonna experience.
