I want you out of this house!

I want you away from

my daughter.

You're a freak!

No, no, stay away from me,

stay away from me.

Get away from me, please.

Please, don't hurt me.

Don't, stop it!

Help, help!

No!

Mommy?

Mommy!

Nancy.

Up here.

It's him?

Yep, got another one.

Black rose and the note,

-Gone but not forgotten.-

They said there's bodies?

Two.

Good break for us.

Bad one for her, though.

Scratched him?

Hope springs eternal.

And the other one's

her little girl.

How little?

Looks like her neck

was broken.

While she was sleeping.

Hallway outside.

Probably walked in on

the killer doing mom.

The killer put her in bed?

No, her daddy said he did it.

What for?

She was his little girl.

In there.

Hey, Nance.

Something, huh?

Oh, it's unbelievable.

That's Peter Lake.

He doesn't look so tough

outside the courtroom, does he?

What do you suppose a place

like this goes for?

A little sensitive for

the job, don't you think?

Mr. Lake?

Ladies and gentlemen, thank

you for coming here today.

We know that you have a lot of

concerns about how our project

is going to affect your

businesses.

So here to address them, and to

answer all of your questions,

is Martin Darius.

I want to live in your

neighborhood, not take it away.

But do I plan to be successful?

Oh, yeah.

And if I'm successful,

so will you all be.

I promise you, Darius Plaza

will not change the face of the

frontier district.

And I think even the most

diehard among you will have to

admit that the frontier is not

what it once was.

But don't take my word for it,

see for yourself.

Russ, I'mma have to take this.

No problem, I'll take over.

Martin Darius.

Hello, Martin.

Guess who?

It's Vicky Miller.

Is my husband there?

Mmhm.

We're in a meeting.

Oh, can you get out

of it, Martin?

Well, if it's an emergency,

of course I'll be there.

Oh, it's an emergency,

all right.

An extremely urgent one.

Russ.

I've got another affair

I've got to get to.

You take over.

Oh, yeah, of course.

So folks, please help yourselves

to more champagne.

Ladies and gentlemen of the

jury, you've heard a lot of

testimony, you've seen a lot of

evidence.

Andrea Hammermill is accused of

the murder of her husband.

Mr. Page, our illustrious

district attorney, would have

you believe that it was an act

of cold-blooded, premeditated

murder.

But what we have to understand

is that Andrea Hammermill is a

woman who was in a fight

for her life.

After years of physical and

mental abuse at the hands

of her husband.

After years of living in fear

that the next time he might kill

her with his savage beatings.

Beatings that resulted in her

being hospitalized on two

separate occasions.

She took the only step that she

knew would end her suffering and

save her life.

Has the jury

reached a verdict?

Yes we have, Your Honor.

The defendant will

please rise.

Regarding case C11-2897, The

State versus Andrea Hammermill

in the matter of the

premeditated murder of her

husband, Howard Hammermill,

the jury finds the defendant

not guilty.

You okay?

Mrs. Tannenbaum!

167 Here they come right now.

Miss Tannenbaum.

Did the fact that

you're a woman and your client

was an abused woman gave you a

sympathy vote?

The verdict shows that

a person has a right

to defend herself.

You mean that murder's legal.

Mrs. Hammermill lived in a

private battlefield of abuse.

She had to make a stand

to save her life.

Excuse me.

Miss Tannenbaum, how does it

feel to save an abused woman

from prison?

Pretty damn good.

I am so proud of you,

sweetheart.

Thank you, Mom, oh.

Thank you for coming here.

Can I take you to lunch?

Oh, please.

All right.

Mr. Page, over here.

Are you disappointed

in the verdict?

Do you think a murderer

went free?

This office is always

sympathetic to the plight of

battered women.

But we will always, always

prosecute vigilantism.

If Andrea Hammermill had come

to us before taking matters into

her own hands, then her husband

would be the one on trial today.

Any leads in the

disappearances of Laura Ferrar

and Wendy Riser?

One case at a time, please.

This office is working very

closely with police on that

matter, we'll comment when we

feel it's appropriate.

Lots of legalese for

we don't know jack.

Oh, wow.

Oh, God.

Oh.

Oh.

We should get going.

We don't want your husband

getting curious about where you

are all these afternoons.

Well, if he found out,

what would you do?

Boy, I'd hate to fire him.

Russ is doing such a great job.

Oh, you're the devil.

Yeah.

This pile is, uh, better luck

next time.

This pile is, uh, they shut off

your cell phone.

And, uh, these are signed by

some guy named Guido.

Look, I don't want you to get

the wrong impression.

Lawyers do actually get paid for

the work they do.

I just happen to represent

people who are broke.

Well maybe you should

represent some, uh,

wealthier clients.

That's a good idea.

Do you know any?

Well, it pays to advertise.

Well, that takes money.

Besides, it's a good thing that

we're able to use Jeff's office

while he's gone, otherwise you

and I would be working out of my

apartment again.

Well, all I'm saying is a

little self-promotion

doesn't hurt.

Give me the list,

I'll think about it.

Vicky.

Vicky?

I'm home early, where are you?

Hey, Vic, you should have

seen me today, babe.

Darius gave me the football, and

I ran with it.

And I scored big time.

You know, he totally trusts me.

It's all happening just like I

said it would.

Huh, it's totally all happening.

Why are all the lights on?

Hey, Vicky.

Now let's move from the

State House to the courthouse.

Our in-studio guest today,

Betsy Tannenbaum, the

Sacramento attorney who made

headlines across the state and

the nation with her successful

defense in the notorious

Hammermill case.

Miss Tannenbaum is a local

single mother and a graduate

of the UC system who's making

quite a name for herself

as a spousal abuse ace.

Martin Darius.

You want to meet me.

Tidy's Fish Shack in 20 minutes.

I don't think so.

Wait, wait, wait, wait,

don't hang up.

If you hang up I'll be

gone but not forgotten.

Catch my drift?

Enjoy the rest of your freedom,

Mr. Darius.

What do you want?

It's not what I want,

it's what you want.

It's always what you want.

And right now you want to meet

me in 20 minutes.

Tidy's Fish Shack.

Thank you for coming,

Mr. Darius.

You seem to have me at a

disadvantage.

That I do, that I do.

Calamari?

Clogs your arteries.

No one lives forever.

But some live longer

than others.

Well, it's your loss,

they make them good here.

You cook 'em too long,

they get rubbery.

Sit down.

No thanks.

I know what you're doing

in Sacramento.

Congratulations, you watch

television.

I've been to Hunter's Point.

Hunter's Point?

Ring a bell?

No, I can't say it does.

Then how about this?

You got a pretty good

poker face, Mr. Darius,

I like that.

Because the ante to stay in this

game is a million dollars,

in cash.

All hundreds, please.

I can't raise that kind of

money in cash.

Okay, well, you got 24 hours

to figure out how, and that is

only because, ah, it's so late

in the day now and because

I'm a nice guy.

How do I contact you?

I'll contact you.

I got your number.

Time's a-wasting.

Nice watch.

Law office.

Betsy Tannenbaum?

Speaking.

Martin Darius here.

I'd like to meet with you.

Soon, if possible.

Of course, Mr. Darius.

Yep?

Rick.

You're still at the office.

Yeah, um, I need a favor.

Uh huh, what's that?

Would it be all right if I

came to pick up Kathy a little

bit late tonight?

Something important came up.

More important than your

own daughter?

Our daughter, she has

two parents.

Really?

I only see one of us here,

Betsy.

this difficult.

Look, it's just 90 minutes,

all right?

90 minutes to do what?

Martin Darius just phoned me

and he wants me meet me on a

legal matter tonight.

So?

If it was you, you would take

the meeting, I would understand.

Okay, fine, make me

the bad guy.

Please, I will not be long,

and I will make it up to you.

Okay.

You go for it.

I hope it goes well.

Sorry.

Okay, thank you.

Betsy Tannenbaum?

I'm Martin Darius.

Oh, yes.

I'm sorry if I startled you.

Your door was wide open.

Oh, no problem.

Boy, nice place.

Well, it's actually not mine.

Yeah, I knew that.

Uh huh?

Sound familiar?

Clock's ticking, Mr. Darius.

Excellent.

I'll get back to you.

Curse of the 21st Century.

Would you like some coffee?

That'd be great.

I was at a charity affair for

the Sacramento Opera

the other night; you go?

No, I haven't.

Too bad.

They're really very good.

Milk?

Ah, no, no thanks.

I was talking with Maxine

Silver, she's on the board.

We were discussing

the Grieg book.

You read it?

The novel by the

serial killer?

Thank you.

No, I actually haven't.

I've read some of

the reviews.

It's actually not my cup of tea.

Maxine said the book never

should have been published,

solely because Grieg wrote it.

You agree?

I wouldn't ban a book just

'cause I disapproved of the

person who wrote it.

If the publisher bowed to

pressure from, say, woman's

group, and withdrew it from

circulation,

would you represent Grieg?

Is there a point to these

questions, or are you just

making small talk?

Good storm.

My answer is yes.

I could represent Grieg.

Really?

I'd be representing

a principle.

Principles only get tested

in extreme cases.

I like you.

Like to put you on retainer.

I've taken the liberty of

drawing you a check.

Consider five thousand of it to

be your consultation fee for

tonight.

The rest is your retainer.

You've placed the odd amount.

It's my gross income

last year.

Forgive me for having you

investigated.

I'm a careful guy.

As a matter of fact...

let's make it...

an even hundred thousand.

What kind of trouble are you

in, Mr. Darius?

Absolutely none whatsoever.

I hire the best people

I can find.

Not because I need them

immediately, but because

it helps me control my future.

Why me?

I heard your interview

on the radio.

I liked what you had to say.

And now that I've met you,

I like you even better.

I'm gonna have to think

about your offer.

I wouldn't expect

anything else.

It's D.

I need a reverse directory trace

on the following number,

name and address.

Hey.

Hi.

Look, I'm sorry, I'm...

Me, too.

You're soaking wet.

Yeah.

It's really raining outside.

She's asleep.

I'll go get her, bring her in.

Betsy, why does this have

to be so hard?

I don't, I...

I miss you.

I do.

I know you do.

Why don't you just stay?

I wish it were that easy.

It is if you want it to be.

I don't want to lose you.

Mommy?

Hey.

Come on, sweetheart.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Come on.

Come on, I'll take you home.

Here we go.

I'll get the door.

Thanks.

Here's Leo.

Okay, come on, honey,

I'll take you home.

Bye-bye, sweetie.

Give your daddy a kiss.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Yes, Detective Oberhurst,

my name is Mrs. Winters.

I'm quite certain my husband's

having an affair.

I'd like you to document

it for me.

My cell phone number is

555-3044.

Thank you.

Bon soir, Monsieur Viande.

Or do you prefer Mr. Oberhurst?

How about Sam?

Nah, let's stick with Viande.

That's French for meat.

That's what you are, a slab of

meat drenched in cheap cologne.

Ew, where's that insect

repellent?

The purpose of meat?

Why, to be butchered.

You really ought to keep your

cutlery honed, Sam.

Blade this dull pulverizes

the bone going through.

C'est la vie, say the old folks.

You okay, comfortable?

Not too tight?

Good.

Now, you're going to tell me

everything you think you know

about Hunter's Point.

You guys ever see Laura?

Laura Ferrar?

No, the movie Laura, this

old black and white thing

about a cop who falls in love

with a dead girl's picture.

Alan, you got to

get out more.

She is beautiful.

Hopefully she's not dead.

Ah, she's got two

chances of that.

None and slim.

sunshine today.

Laura lived.

You said she was dead.

Three months, three women.

This guy is not going to stop

until we stop him.

He's not giving us much.

No prints, no forced entry,

no sign of a struggle, no hair,

no blood, nothing.

Nothing?

What about the notes,

what about the roses?

It's bait.

He's trying to make us look bad.

Well, it's working.

What do these women

have in common?

They were all well-to-do.

None had a job, none had

children, and all of their

husbands are in the clear.

No ransom notes, or any

communication to any of the

families?

None.

Are there any cults out there

with these things as trademarks?

Not in the database, I wish

it were that easy.

This guy's starting to get

on my nerves.

You're Alan Page?

The DA?

That's right, can I help you?

I may have some information

about the women who are

disappearing here in Sacramento.

And you are?

I'm Detective Nancy Gordon.

From the Hunter's Point Police

in upstate New York.

We had the same thing happen to

us 10 years ago.

Four women disappeared from

their homes.

Whoever was taking them was

leaving behind a black rose

and a note that said,

"Gone but not forgotten."

Sound familiar?

Yeah.

Yes.

Yes, it does.

Can, can we-- ?

Please.

You said Hunter's Point,

New York?

Yeah.

We had a suspect named

Peter Lake.

He was the husband of one of

the victims.

His six year old daughter was

killed, too.

So why him and not some of

the other husbands?

Those women just disappeared.

Here we had bodies.

You said you had a suspect,

what happened to him?

Well, we had another suspect.

A sex offender named Waters.

One of the missing women was

found in his basement, dead.

Waters was killed

resisting arrest.

But you think it's

Peter Lake?

Immediately after the case

was closed, Peter Lake

gave his law practice to his

partners, closed out all of his

bank accounts, abandoned

his house and disappeared.

Well, you can't really

blame him, can you?

I mean, the man's wife and child

are killed and

he's accused of it.

Two things were never told to

the press about the killings.

The color of the roses

the killer used,

and what was in the notes.

Only the people on the task

force and the killer himself

knew.

Peter Lake leaves Hunter's

Point, and the killings stop.

He comes to Sacramento, and 10

years later you've got the same

crime and the same signature.

What, what do you mean he

comes to Sacramento?

This is Peter Lake.

This is Martin Darius.

Number 41?

I'll be right back.

Yeah, yeah, that's me, 41.

There you go, sir, thank you.

Yes, Mr. President.

Well, my tax returns have

been public record for

thirty some years now.

Mr. President, I will do

everything in my power

to live up to this

great responsibility.

Thank you.

I am truly honored,

and very grateful.

Yes, sir, goodbye.

Huh, that was the call.

I am officially the nominee

as the new Justice of the

Supreme Court of The United

States Of America.

Congratulations, Ray,

you deserve it.

I'm sure it'll go well.

This is Washington, Wayne.

Nothing goes well.

So, what did the

president say?

He asked me if there was

anything I had to disclose.

Anything questionable that might

come out in the confirmation

hearings and prevent me getting

the post and embarrass him.

And you said no.

And I said no.

Ray, there is no way

anyone can know anything

about Hunter's Point.

That's why I said no.

Good.

Really appreciate you

agreeing to the article.

Has this newfound celebrity of

yours impacted your life, your

practice, or your private life

in any way?

Positive or negative?

Well, um, being a single mom,

I can't imagine becoming any

busier, but it definitely has

impacted my practice positively.

How so?

I have more and

bigger clients.

Doesn't more and bigger

translate to more and

bigger criminals?

Well, that's not very

objective.

Andrea Hammermill is not a

criminal.

You know, you do seem to have

a very special kind of

relationship with your clients.

Have you spoken to Hammermill

since the verdict?

Murder trials are not exactly

something you want to

reminisce about.

Working on any special cases

at the moment?

No.

No, or nothing you can

talk about?

Nothing I can talk about.

Does this mean we might be

seeing a little more of you on

television in the near future?

Well, let's hope not, because

if you do then that means one of

my clients has had afoul

of the law.

Ah, that's a good point.

So she just shows up

out of nowhere?

I think she was following me.

And she just disappears

into thin air.

Spooky.

Yeah.

She tells me this whole story,

but... something doesn't feel

right about what she said.

And this Peter Lake guy looks

like Martin Darius?

No, Randy, not like him,

it is him.

This is Alan Page.

This is Gary Shunt, Chief of

Police in Hunter's Point,

New York.

Thanks for getting back

to me, Chief.

So you're looking for one of

my detectives, Nancy Gordon.

She was put on administrative

leave, and we haven't heard

from her since.

When was that?

Oh, about six months ago,

I think.

Why, uh, she looking

for work out there?

No, she just showed up

talking about a case there about

10 years ago, group of killings.

That black rose thing.

Could you send me the files

on that case?

I'll see what I can do.

Thank you, thanks for

your time.

Curiouser and curiouser.

What?

That was the chief of police

in Hunter's Point.

Nancy Gordon was a detective

there, but she took a leave of

absence about four months ago.

They thought she had what

amounted to battle fatigue,

that's all he would say.

She winds up here.

She goes on leave

four months ago?

Three months ago women start

disappearing from Sacramento.

You certainly have a

suspicious mind.

And you don't?

We're prosecutors.

Clyde here.

Hey, Clyde, it's Alan Page, I

need you to find a woman for me.

Desperate, huh?

Very funny.

Did you get that stuff that I

asked you about on Darius?

you want I'll go--

No, that's all right.

I can walk that far.

You know what's strange?

How they just stop.

What do you mean

they just stop?

The articles.

There's nothing on him

before 1996.

It's like alien abduction,

except in reverse.

Tomorrow I want you

to keep looking.

Excuse me,

I got the flash report.

Walk with me.

Martin Darius started a

construction company

eight years ago.

Now he's building everything.

Charms people's weak spots, cons

them into believing that they

got the best deal for their

property, when in actuality he's

buying up for peanuts,

developing for a fortune.

Buy low, sell high, welcome

Hold on.

Alan Page.

Yeah, wait, wait a second.

All right, go.

Got it, thanks.

Got an address for Nancy Gordon.

What's this all

about, anyway?

Just tying up a few

loose ends, sir.

Nothing to be concerned about.

Well, I know everything that

goes on at this place.

I wasn't here when she checked

in, but nobody's come

in or out of here.

Would you open it, please?

Nancy?

Thank you, sir, we'll take it

from here.

Her bags are still here.

The bed's made.

She bothered to hang her

clothes up, so she must have

been planning on staying a

while.

What the hell is this?

What do you think?

She into the guy, or what?

Man, I knew a girl like this

in high school.

No matter where I went,

there she was.

Totally used to creep me out.

What did you do about it?

I nailed her a couple times

at her parents' house when they

were out of town.

You what?

I was 16, you take what

you can get.

You're a dangerous man,

Randy.

Yeah.

What you got?

Got a pencil?

Who uses a pencil anymore?

Wait a minute, here's one.

Thanks.

You're not telling me that

actually works.

Old school, baby.

Feel like taking a ride?

Why would Nancy Gordon come

to a Darius construction site?

Let's take a look around.

What exactly is it you think

we're looking for?

Maybe something like this?

Let's see how far it goes.

We're, uh, trespassing.

Look, Nancy Gordon could

be in here.

And if she's alive,

she's in trouble.

We have cause and

we have moment.

And we don't have

a court order.

And I'm the DA,

and it's all my decision.

And let's just say you're

not even here.

This could be something.

Try not to step in

the tire tracks.

Look, they end right here.

You want me to call the cops?

For what?

So far all we've seen is a

pit in a construction site.

Shine your light on me so I can

see where I'm stepping.

Whoa!

Alan!

Alan, you all right?

I'm fine.

I did that on purpose.

Call the cops.

Call the cops, now!

Officer--

No comment, this is an

ongoing investigation.

Hold on, guys, let 'em come

through.

All right.

Excuse me, guys?

All right.

Thanks.

Three altogether,

positively ID'd.

It's them.

The three missing women.

Ferrar, Riser, and Miller.

None of them is Nancy Gordon?

No.

None of them is Nancy Gordon.

Any idea how long

they've been here?

Not yet.

The way it looks, another few

days, this pit would have been

poured in concrete for the

foundation of this place.

Rain must have held them up.

This is Darius' project.

Think he knows the

pour schedule?

Techs are gonna do a match

on the tire treads, see what

kind they are.

This is going to be all over

the news pretty soon

if it isn't already.

If it is Darius, he's gonna run.

We don't have enough

to hold him.

We do if we can find

Nancy Gordon.

Hi.

Yes, can I help you?

Is Mr. Darius home?

No, he's not.

Excuse me, I'm Betsy

Tannenbaum, I'm one of

Mr. Darius' attorneys.

I see, well, I'm Martin's

wife, can I help you with

anything?

Will you be expecting him?

Yes.

Uh, Martin should be

back shortly.

Would you like to, uh,

wait inside?

That'd be great, thank you.

God knows I could use

the company.

Well, it's an interesting

house.

Can I offer you a drink?

Some water would be nice.

How did you meet your husband?

Business school.

I was getting my MBA and, uh,

Martin was a guest lecturer.

So do you work with your

husband?

No.

My husband doesn't want me

anywhere near his business.

He likes me to stay right here.

Says he doesn't want me tainted.

Cheers.

So tell me, what's so, uh,

hot about corporate law?

Nothing.

I can't imagine anything

more boring.

Really?

Then why did you get into it?

Uh, the money?

I'm not in corporate law.

I'm a criminal defense attorney.

Criminal?

talked earlier about doing the

interview for your wife?

- Now?

- I was in the neighborhood,

I thought we might as well get

it out of the way.

- Well, I just put my daughter

to bed, it's kind of a bad time.

- It'll, it'll just take a

couple of minutes.

I'll be quiet as a mouse,

I promise.

- Okay, okay, yeah.

- Great, thanks.

- Yeah, sure.

- I appreciate it.

- Can I get you anything

to drink?

- Oh, yeah, that'd be great.

We got, uh, sodas, uh, juices,

water, lemonade, you know,

basic stuff.

- What are you doing?

- Leave a message for Rick

or Kathy, have a good day.

- Hey, Rick, it's me.

I was just calling to check in

and say goodnight to Kathy.

But, well, I guess you two are

out on the town.

Listen, Mom gave me

your message.

Just, um, if you want to talk,

well, we'll discuss it

tomorrow, okay?

Anyway.

Bye-bye, Kathy.

I love you.

Hey, lady!

- Betsy.

- Kathy! Kathy!

- Kathy is in there,

my daughter.

- Kathy's your daughter?

She's here?

- Kathy, Kathy!

- Nobody else in the house.

- All right, Betsy, Betsy,

I'm sorry.

I can't let you up there,

it's an active crime scene.

Look at me, look at me.

All right?

Your husband walked

into a burglary.

They must have taken her,

we'll put out an Amber Alert.

Officer, I need that to

happen right now.

- No, it's Darius, Darius.

- It's not Darius.

- Yes, listen to me,

it's Darius.

I quit today.

- Betsy, listen to me,

it's not Darius.

We arrested him this afternoon

for the murder of his wife.

He is in custody.

- Where is Kathy?

Where is Kathy?

Where's Kathy?

Where, where's my baby girl?

- I swear to you,

we will find her.

- Oh my God.

- I'll have a psychologist

sent over, it's standard in a

situation like this.

- No.

No, please don't, I'm gonna,

I'm gonna be fine, okay.

- Betsy, I wish there was

something more I could do.

Something more I could say.

- Thank you.

- We will find your daughter,

I swear to you.

I'm gonna stay on top of this

and I'll let you know as soon as

there's word, any word.

- Thank you.

- The itsy bitsy spider

Climbed up the waterspout

Down came the rain

And washed the spider out

Up came the sun and...

The itsy-bitsy spider

Climbed up the spout again

I love this part.

- I want my mommy.

- She'll be here soon,

sweetheart.

She said to have some milk

while you're waiting.

Drink your milk, honey,

it'll make your mama happy.

Yeah.

- I've got your daughter.

Get in there!

I'm really sorry about that

husband thing, but I needed

Kathy, and it was the only way

that I could get her.

- Good God!

- She's fine, but we've got to

start working together, Betsy,

because we're running

out of time, and there's only

so much I can do by myself.

- Oh my God,

what are you talking about?

I've practically laid him in

your lap, but if you don't help

me, he's gonna get away again.

And that, it wouldn't be

so good for Kathy.

- You're Samantha Reardon.

- I was until he came,

and then everything changed.

They locked me up with

crazy people, Betsy.

And he got to live his life as

though nothing had happened.

But something had happened, and

I was the only one who cared.

But now, now I've got Kathy, and

I can see that you care, too.

I, I had everything under

control until that Nancy Gordon

showed up.

See, I have plans for Peter.

Very specific, delicious plans.

She would have ruined

those plans, she would have

exposed me.

I want you back on this case.

I want you to lose it, and I

want that as much as

you want Kathy.

- Don't hurt her.

to you, Betsy.

Nancy Gordon told me all about

insurance policies,

and Kathy's mine.

Just like I was Peter's.

But don't worry, I'm one of the

good guys, honey.

Everything will be fine as long

as you do exactly what I say.

- Reggie, Reggie.

- All right, hold your horses.

- Open up.

- All right, all right,

all right.

Betsy, what the hell?

What?

- It's Ka-- It's Kathy.

- Nora Sloan or

Samantha Reardon, or black

roses, find anything, Reggie.

- Uh, okay, uh, I, I guess it's

worth a try, let's try it.

- See if you can find anything

to do with the -Gone but not

forgotten- reference.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

- I'll give you a call.

- Are you okay, Betsy?

- I'm fine.

- Can I help you?

- I'm Martin Darius' attorney,

Betsy Tannenbaum, who are you?

- Well, Betsy, James Lee,

public defender.

- I have a signed agreement to

represent Mr. Darius.

Unless you have a document

which rescinds it,

I'm his lawyer.

- Fine, you want him?

He's yours.

- Betsy, what are you

doing here, are you okay?

- Fine.

I'm representing Darius.

- What did he say to you?

- Nothing, it's fine.

Just something I have to do.

- No, this is not something...

- This is something I mu--

Trust me.

- Hello, Betsy.

You were right, Martin.

I know that you didn't

kill those women.

I know you didn't kill Lisa.

I believe you.

- It's Nancy Gordon, isn't it?

You found Nancy Gordon.

Where is she?

- It's not Nancy Gordon.

- All rise,

court is now in session.

The Honorable Judge Theo Marks

presiding.

Mrs. Tannenbaum, the court and I

personally wish to extend our

deepest sympathies to you on

your recent loss.

- Thank you, sir.

- Now if you're here, I'm

presuming you're ready to

proceed with this case.

- I am, Your Honor.

- Are you okay?

- Fine.

- What does he mean loss?

What, what happened?

- It's all right, nothing.

Martin, please, I cannot talk

to you about this.

- What's he talking ab-- ?

- I'm fine.

- The people wish to arraign

Mr. Darius on an

additional charge?

- That's correct, Your Honor.

- And that charge is?

- An additional count of murder

in the first degree.

The people hold that

Martin Darius did willfully and

with malice aforethought kill

his wife, Lisa Darius, on the

day of September 18th.

- Is there evidence the

prosecution would like to enter

at this time?

- Yes, Your Honor.

I wish to enter a sworn

statement from Lisa Darius'

father, Judge Michael Ryder,

pursuant to the defendant's

treatment of his wife.

- Court will accept

the statement.

- I also wish to enter a sworn

affidavit from Senator Raymond

Colby, United States Supreme

Court Justice nominee...

- You gave him Colby?

- Martin, I swear--

- Order.

- Kathy!

Kathy!

Kathy!

Oh my God.

- Your Honor, I'd like to

request that Miss Tannenbaum be

removed as my counsel, she's not

acting in my best interests.

She's in moral breech

of her duties.

- Your Honor, please, I beg the

indulgence of the court to

please give me a moment alone

with my client in the jury room.

- If the prosecution has

no objection.

- No objection, Your Honor.

- Bailiff.

See that Mrs. Tannenbaum

has privacy in the jury room.

- Martin, you have got

to believe me.

I never gave Colby to Alan Page.

- I don't believe you,

not a single word.

- Empty your pockets, please.

I was just here a minute ago.

- We have to do this again.

- Okay.

- Please open your belt.

Thank you.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

- Excuse me, ma'am,

are you all right?

Can I help you?

- Yeah, I think--

I think I'm gonna be sick!

- Whoah, you okay?

- Lady, whoah.

- Mrs. Wilson?

- Hello, Peter.

Lock that other door, now.

- Seal it off.

- What happened?

- She's got my gun,

and I heard a shot.

- Betsy?

- Nobody comes in or

I kill you both.

- Don't come in.

There's a woman with a gun and

she will kill both of us

if you come in.

- Did I hurt you, Peter?

- Ahh!

- The soul by pain

is cleansed again.

The mind by pain made wanton.

- Mind by pain made wanton.

- In the nightmares...

- In the nightmares,

the pain is

gone but not forgotten.

Welcome to the beginning

of your nightmare.

- Samantha.

- Thank you.

Don't you just love reunions?

But I've worked so hard

for this one, Peter.

I really don't want to rush it.

And if I recall correctly,

you're the kind of man who

likes to take his time.

I want to tell you what I

have planned, I want to

let you be able to

anticipate the fun.

You know, like I had to do.

- Betsy, are you all right?

- Keep him out if you ever

want to see Kathy again.

from the door.

It's Samantha Reardon, and she's

got Kathy hostage somewhere.

Please keep everyone away

from the door.

- All right, back off!

Everybody back off!

Clear the hallway, now!

- Oh, don't worry, I'm not

gonna kill you.

No, I, I have something much

more enlightening

in mind for you.

You see, it's right here.

This little cocktail.

Made it just for you.

I started with a shot of

thiodiglycol to paralyze you.

Followed up with, uh,

just a little touch of cyanogen

chloride, which will set your

blood on fire.

And a little bit of meth to act

as an accelerator.

The net result's a little bit

difficult to describe, but I, I

think the words, -unremitting,

excruciating pain,-

come pretty close.

You'll be burning inside, but

you won't be able to move

or even cry out.

I particularly like that touch.

Oh, my very favorite part

is that it'll be permanent.

You won't be in control of

anything or anyone ever again,

including yourself.

That's one thing I learned

from you, Peter,

is it's all about control.

- Betsy, tell me you're all

right or I'm coming in.

- No, no, don't, please!

- Don't!

- Stop it.

Let her go.

She's got my daughter,

let her go!

- To hell with your daughter.

- Ah!

- Drop the gun!

- Don't, don't shoot!

That's Betsy Tannenbaum!

- It's Samantha Reardon, she's

got Kathy hostage.

- Control, Peter.

- No!

- Betsy, come on, come on.

- Betsy!

- Kathy!

Oh!

- She's fine.

- Apparently Samantha kept her

sedated, but the medic said that

in a few hours

she will be fine, just fine.

- What do you mean?

- She's okay, she's okay,

she's all right.

- Reggie.

- Mr. Prosecutor.

- Great work.

- Thanks.

Um, I also found that other

witness you were looking for,

Nancy Gordon.

She...

- Thank you.

- Sure.

- Okay, it's okay.

- She's okay.

- She's fine.

- Today Senator Raymond Colby

was officially sworn in as the

newest Supreme Court Justice in

a rose garden ceremony.

It was an appointment not

without controversy as Colby,

only at the last moment,

disclosed his granting of

immunity to a criminal some

10 years ago while he was

Governor of New York.

Evidently the unique

circumstances of that case

justified the then Governor's

actions in the minds of the

Select Panel that

reviewed the case.

- He's right in here.

- Thank you.

I thought I'd come and

see you one last time.

I'm told there's nothing

wrong with your brain.

That you can hear and you can

see, but most importantly

you can think.

So think about this,

life is all about choices,

and ones you made put you here.

I hope you'll come to

understand that.

Goodbye, Martin.
