All language subtitles for 1.Interrogation.2020.1080p.WEB-DL.DD2.0.H264-FGT

This
is interrogation room one

where we see beyond
the lies and coverups,

searching for truth and
putting criminals behind bars.

I used to think that if I did
enough good in this world,

nothing bad would happen to me,

that if I locked
up the bad guys,

I could stave off all
the horrible tragedies

we see every day.

I can't stop it.

The following images provide
a glimpse into my world.

Chrissy, I'm District
Attorney, Ann Walker

and this is Detective Daniels.

How are you feeling?

I feel pretty good.

Why am I here, am I in trouble?

No sweetie, not at all.

The hospital reported,

they think you're
being physically abused

and we wanna find
out who did it.

It's not true.

Yeah, they shouldn't
have said that.

They're required by
law to report any patient

they think is a victim of abuse.

Did someone hit you?

No.

The report said that
you were hemorrhaging

and if you hadn't have
gotten in when you did,

you might very well have died.

Someone hit me when they
tried to take my purse

when I was getting
out of the car.

I didn't see their face.

We checked the
surveillance tapes

in the parking lot at the
time you said this happened.

All it shows is you getting
out of the car and passing out.

No one hit you.

You live with your
father, correct?

Yes.

How would you describe
your relationship with him?

What do you mean?

Do you two get along,
no trouble between you?

No.

Dad loves me.

He takes care of me.

Chrissy, I'm home,
I'm hungry and I'm beat.

What's for dinner?

Steak, mashed
potatoes and asparagus.

Good, I hope it's
edible this time.

Those idiots at the county
have been a nightmare.

I work with idiots.

I made it just how
you like it tonight.

Did you pick up the battery
for the remote control

like I asked you to?

I forgot, I'm sorry, I just
got so caught up in cooking

and studying for my test,
I just, it slipped my mind,

- dad, I'm sorry...
- What do you think

I asked you today, like
three or four times?

- Yes sir.
- Yeah the game is on tonight.

Yeah yeah yeah and why is
it that I always end up

having to yell at you to get
anything done around here?

- Sorry...
- No!

I'll get 'em as soon as
I wake up in the morning.

No, you won't pick it up!

I will pick it up, just
like I do at the office

because you are worthless!

Sorry, I'll try to be better.

No, you won't
try to be better!

Don't cry!

- Don't cry!
- I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You make me sick.

X-rays indicate a break in
your arm in the wrist area.

How long ago did this happen?

About a year ago.

I fell and landed on my wrist.

We see these
cases all the time,

victims denying what's
being done to them.

It never ends well.

Victims protect their
loved ones to the point

that it goes too far.

Victims end up being
permanently maimed

or worse yet, killed.

Tell us what's happening
before it's too late.

I promise, we'll protect you.

It's not his fault, it's me,

I never do anything right
and he just gets frustrated.

That's common for the victim
to think they're to blame,

but it's not true.

Your father does
this, doesn't he?

Dad's just trying
to make me better.

If I tell you, he'll give
up on me and kick me out.

It's time to stop your
father from hurting you.

If he gets physical,
you need to tell us.

It's your father.

I promise, he will
not hurt you anymore

if you only tell us
he did this to you.

No, I'm ready to leave.

Who do you think you are
speaking to my daughter?

The hospital
reported your daughter

as a possible abuse victim.

We brought her in to talk to us.

And who are you exactly?

District Attorney Walker.

To be exact, I prosecute
abusive bullies.

Oh good for you.

So what did Chrissy say?

Nothing, she's too
traumatized by you.

Is she really?

So you felt it was
okay for you guys

to stick your nose in
my family's business.

I don't want either of
you speaking to Chrissy.

You understand?

Chrissy's 18, she
can speak for herself.

I have taken care of
Chrissy for 18 years.

I make decisions for her.

Leave us alone.

I'm warning you.

You okay?

You think Chrissy's got the
stuff to stand up for herself?

Maybe, I don't know.

Just another fine day.

Thank you, dad,
for picking me up.

So what happened in there?

They just wanted to
know how I got injured.

And what did you tell them?

I told them that I was
robbed in a parking lot

and it was the
robber who hit me...

That's good,
that's really good.

So everything's okay then?

Um, they didn't believe me.

They actually kept asking
me questions about you.

And you told them
nothing, right?

Right.

Right, that's my good girl.

Because

if you tell them anything,

you know what
happens, don't you?

- Yes, yes sir.
- Okay?

All right, let's go home.

It's okay.

How's the nose?

It hurts a lot.

Norman, we're gonna charge you

with murder and
attempted murder.

That doesn't sound good.

No, it doesn't.

We know you stabbed crazy
Billy and you killed Perry.

What we don't know is, is why?

Does self-defense count?

'Cause that's what it was.

Well why don't you
start from the beginning?

We were sitting around
the table, drinking.

Billy, he's mad at me

and hits me in the face
with a vodka bottle.

You're both stupid,
you know that?

I had this whole
thing figured out.

All we had to do was
break into the office,

steal the money box.

Then sit on the
money for a year,

without spending any of it.

So nobody would suspect us.

Crazy Billy.

What are you, some kind
of psycho or something?

No, I'm just Crazy Billy.

Well I give up, why do
they call you Crazy Billy?

Because when I was a kid,

I used to get so mad that I'd
throw myself on the floor,

just kicking and screaming.

My aunt said, "Now
ain't that crazy?"

From then on, people
just call me Crazy Billy.

Okay.

Well why don't you tell me
what happened this morning.

It was self-defense.

Wait a minute, you
stabbed Perry 30 times.

How is that self-defense?

Not self-defense,
what happened to Perry.

Self-defense on what
happened to Norman.

Norman?

Well what about Norman?

I hit Norman over the
face with a vodka bottle.

Well you got Perry's
blood all over ya.

I got my blood all over me.

Well why don't you
start from the beginning

and tell me what happened?

No, that was your plan,
that wasn't our plan.

I don't see why we
couldn't spend a little.

A little?

You and Billy spent
all your shares.

Now you're broke.

But not me, boys.

I haven't spent one thin dime.

Gonna need some of the
money you got there, Perry.

Oh yeah?

Yeah, so am I.

No.

What are you doing, Norman?

You're gonna kill Perry.

Grab his arms!

I grabbed the
knife on the table,

stabbed Billy and left.

Perry's dead and
you had the knife.

So you're the one that
stabbed him 30 times.

Perry's dead?

He was fine when I left.

You expect me to believe

you had nothing to do
with Perry's death?

Absolutely

and we had the league
championship this weekend.

Billy must have done this
and he's trying to blame me.

I see.

Well we're gonna hold
you for a few days

while we sort this out.

What about the
league championship?

Okay, I was in the kitchen.

I heard this ruckus going
on in the dining room.

So I went out in the dining room

and by the time I get there,

Norman is standing over
Perry with a knife.

Well then what happened?

Well Norm comes
at me with the knife

so I pick up the vodka
bottle by its neck

and Norman stabbed me.

I hit him across the face
with the vodka bottle.

Amazing how much
damage can be done

to a man's nose
with a vodka bottle.

He staggers back, plunges
a knife into Perry's back

and goes out the backdoor.

That's it?

That's it.

All right, now you
said Norman stabbed you.

Where?

Is that a garbage bag?

Yeah.

Wrapped around to
keep the pressure on.

Keeps the blood from oozing.

I've had that as my
laundry bag for two years.

Guess I'm gonna have
to get another one.

Okay, I'm gonna
call the EMT's.

Nice, nice.

You like that?

Absolutely.

Robert Jinx, you
here to confess?

Chrissy told me
that she told you

that she was robbed
at a parking lot

and you called her a liar.

Hey, nobody calls
my kid a liar, okay?

Just do your damn job!

So what do you got for me?

Those stories Norman
and Billy told you?

They're both lying.

Really?

Fill me in please.

Our forensics confirm
that Billy used the bottle

to hit Norman and
Norman stabbed Perry.

So we're nowhere.

No, there's more.

Perry was put in a choke hold

and given the nature
of the damage,

it had to be a big fellow.

Norman.

Exactly and
bruising on the arms

indicates that someone else

tightly held Perry's arms
while he was being stabbed.

Their statements tell us
they were the only ones there.

So they both killed
him together.

That is correct.

So, they both came in and
they both told different stories

thinking that we couldn't
prove which one did it.

And they probably
planned on dumping the body

until a neighbor heard the
ruckus and called the police.

They concocted a story
hoping to get out of it.

You know the
other day at church

when the pastor spoke
about leading by example,

what kind of example do
you think these guys had

when they grew up?

Honestly, I couldn't tell you.

They could've come
from loving families.

Seems like more and more
people are straying.

What are these
paintings on the wall?

They're called icons,
windows to Heaven.

Those are glass into
eternity and what awaits us.

You a priest?

I am Father Thomas Francis,
the pastor of this church.

Do you have a minute
to talk with me?

Certainly.

Please.

May I sit?

Sure.

What's your name?

Elizabeth Waters.

Very nice to meet
you, Elizabeth.

Are you a Catholic?

No, I'm not religious.

Do you believe in God?

I don't know.

That's not the reason I'm here.

I just really need
to talk to you.

Okay, how can I help you?

So, two years ago,

I did something that
has just ruined my life.

I was at a party
and on my way home,

I was driving and I hit someone.

This man stepped
in front of my car

and it happened so fast
that I heard a thump,

but I kept on driving.

I was too afraid to stop and
the next day on our news,

I heard that there
was a hit and run

and that a homeless man, he
was in critical condition.

I think he died.

Did you report
it to the police?

No, I was too scared.

So now here I am.

I used to be so happy, Father,

but I just can't
live with this guilt.

I wish I never
went to that party.

I wish I, I wish, I
hate my life, I hate me.

I've thought of ending it all.

No, Elizabeth,
that's not the way out.

God loves you.

You, Elizabeth are
very special to him.

Do you know who Jesus is?

Yes, I mean, I
grew up in church.

Well Jesus said, "Come to
me, all you who are weary

"and carry heavy burdens
and I will give you rest."

He loves you, Elizabeth.

Why, why would God love me?

I killed someone.

Elizabeth, God
came into the world

and took on flesh and
his name is Jesus.

He was born of the
blessed Virgin Mary,

hung on a cross, died
and on the third day,

rose from the dead so that
we may have eternal life.

He even forgave
those who killed him.

He is the way,

the truth

and the life.

If you want to free
yourself from this guilt,

you have to do the right thing.

What would that
be, turn myself in?

I know you don't wanna
face the consequences.

I don't want to go to jail.

Well, but the truth
will set you free

and you don't have to
face the consequences,

but I know you have to.

Okay?

I believe God brought
you here for a reason.

He wants you to know him
and the love he has for you.

He wants to grant you
his mercy and healing.

How?

Ask him into your
heart, your life.

Be truly sorry for your sins.

Believe in him and
then follow him.

May I say a little prayer
and ask God to help you?

All right.

Can we hold hands?

Heavenly Father, you know
all things before we even ask

and you said to ask
and you shall receive.

I bring before you
Elizabeth, Lord,

give her strength and
courage to do what is right

and most of all,
Lord, open her heart

that she may truly know you
and experience your love.

I ask this in the
precious name of Jesus.

Jesus.

I'm sorry
what I've done.

Forgive me, please
come into my life.

I believe that you are God.

Help me.

Elizabeth, no
matter what happens,

know that God is in control

and that all things
work for good

for those who love God

and are called according
to his purpose.

I have a friend downtown.

He's a detective, real nice
guy and he can help you.

I think you should go see him.

Are you willing to do this?

Yes.

If you want, I'll go
along to support you.

I'd like that.

Uncle Billy.

Hey Devon, how are ya, buddy?

Oh where's your grandmother?

Um, she's coming,
she's just slow.

It's good to see you, buddy.

Hey sis, you came
downtown to see me?

Yes, Devin had an appointment
at Children's Hospital.

I see.

Hey buddy,

you remember where
that soda machine is?

Tell me.

Yesterday I picked Devin up to

have him with me for a few days.

Last night, I was
pulling his t-shirt off

to give him a shower, he winced.

I took him to the
doctor this morning

and he sent us to Children's
Hospital for X-rays.

Turns out his shoulder was
pulled out of the socket.

Exams indicate abuse.

How did this happen?

Sissy has a new boyfriend.

I believe they get
drunk every night.

Okay, I'll have him picked up.

It's already done.

Hospital called everyone.

Child Protective Services?

Of course.

Well how did you take Devin?

You.

I promised them I would
come straight to you

and that I would have you
call as soon as I got here.

Devin had started to cry.

They caved.

Okay, I'll call.

In the meantime, I'll get
the D.A. to call a judge

and get Devin placed
in your custody.

You know, I spent a lifetime
putting trash like that away.

I mean, I think, why does
anybody deserve this?

You have been doing
this a long time.

Don't you think it's
time for a break?

Yeah, it's not the same.

Or maybe,

maybe I'm not the same.

Thank you, Uncle Billy.

How would you like it

if we stayed at Uncle
Billy's tonight?

Yes, I don't wanna go home.

Uh, s'cuse me uh...

Dr. Gordon.

Uh, Dr. Gordon, eh,
is the nurse around or...

She's out to lunch,
how may I help you?

Uh, Chrissy Jinx, she's here?

Dr. Carl's with here, he'll
be out in just a moment.

Oh, doctor.

Hi, how's Chrissy?

Not good, she's been
beat up pretty bad.

Well, can I see her?

Considering the severity
of the circumstance,

she needs to rest.

Has the District
Attorney been here yet?

I haven't seen her.

Excuse me.

Tell me.

Doctor's in there now.

How is she?

She's awake.

Can I see her?

Five minutes.

I'm going in alone.

Thank you, Doctor.

What'd you do wrong?

What?

You must have screwed up
something big to end up here.

What was it?

Blew up half the house?

Totaled the car?

Gambled away the
entire savings account?

What?

I,

I put too much starch
in his work clothes.

Hm.

You put too much starch
in his work shirt

and you end up here.

Can you hear how insane this is?

Would you expect me or
Daniels to smack you

for dropping a pen on the floor?

No, but he's
different than you are.

Okay, he's under so
much more stress.

Why do you live each day
expecting that from him?

I know what you live with.

Each day to be
told you're useless

or a waste of a human being.

Each day beat down.

That, you can't
get anything right.

That it's your fault.

I know what it's
like to tense up

when that person
walks through the door

and to sit each morning

hoping that

today is a good day.

I know.

I am so scared.

I don't know what to do.

You have to get
your life back.

You have to tell him he doesn't
have the right to hurt you.

No one has that right.

He'll hit me.

He'll stop loving me.

And then,

I'll become nothing.

Not if we back you up,

put a restraining
order in place,

get you with a support group

and put you on the path
to getting your life back.

Trust me, Chrissy.

Can you do that?

Detective Daniels and I,
we'll be here for you.

I'll be right back.

Do you remember when you asked
if Chrissy had the stuff?

Mmhmm.

Wake up Jenks.

With pleasure.

Hey.

Saw you talking to
that attorney woman.

What'd you tell her?

Nothing.

That was a lot of nothing.

You were my good little
girl, weren't you?

Help, help?

Nobody cares,
nobody can hear you,

no one's gonna rescue
you, so shut up!

No more, no
more!

You have no right
to hit me ever!

All I've ever done was
try to make you better!

All I've ever done is try
to please you and love you.

All you've ever done is
make me feel worthless.

Because you are worthless!

You're worthless!

Don't come crawling back!

I hate you!

You're done, you are done!

You wanted to move
in with your mom.

Oh, that's right,
she abandoned you.

She killed herself!

At least she never had
to put up with you again!

You'll come crawling back.

You'll be back.

Good morning, Professor.

I'm Detective Daniels and
this District Attorney Walker.

Good morning, Professor.

Nice hair.

Professor, one of
your students is dead

and you don't seem
bothered by that.

It was a tragic suicide, but
I hardly knew the young man.

Let's talk about the cheating
going on by your students.

Yeah, that is regretful.

I knew nothing about it.

Rest assured, I had planned on
getting to the bottom of it.

Thank you, Professor Russell.

Keep us in the loop.

You got it.

What's with cutting him loose?

I had a lot of
questions for that guy.

He's guilty.

I just don't want him
to believe we know that.

Right, 'cause he'll start
to intimidate his students

and just cover his tracks.

Exactly.

Tommy!

I mean, Father Tom.

How are ya?

Doing great, Billy.

Have you been going to church?

I sure have.

Billy and I, we
grew up together.

So what brings you down
to this neck of the woods?

I want you to meet
Elizabeth Waters.

Hi.

Well hello, Elizabeth Waters.

Have a seat.

Elizabeth had an accident
about two years ago

and she never reported it.

Evidently a man stepped
out in front of her car

and she thinks she hit him.

She was too scared to
stop so she kept driving.

I didn't do it on purpose.

He came out of nowhere.

I'm truly very sorry.

Well,

can you tell me the details
as to when this happened?

I was at a barbecue
at my friend's house

and it was the 4th of July

and I was driving
home around 11:00 p.m.

Well this could be a
serious situation, Elizabeth.

Let me pull up the
record, give me a second.

Well according to the report,

there was a hit and
run in the evening

of July the 4th two years ago.

It also states that a injured,

intoxicated, homeless
man recovered

and is now working
at the city mission.

So in order to close the case,

I need to take your statement.

He's not dead?

Alive and well and
working at the city mission.

Is there anything you
can do for her, Billy?

Well I can talk to the D.A.

The judge'll probably
go easy on her

since you don't have
a criminal record.

You might have to do
some community service.

Yeah.

Well, young lady,
let's go to the next room

and record your statement.

Thank you, Father Thomas.

God is real and merciful.

Amen.

Ann Walker.

You look so serious.

Jovanna.

Good to see you.

It's been a while.

Seven years.

Have a seat.

I was really sad to
hear about David.

Yeah, I'm still
having a hard time

accepting what happened.

What did happen?

We were hiking and
enjoying the day.

We got to the top of a
trail, on a mountain.

He wanted me to
take his picture.

He kept backing up.

I told him to stop,
but it was windy

and I guess he didn't hear me.

I screamed stop,

but some ground gave way
and he just fell away.

Must have been tough

going through the police
investigation and all.

Yes.

He was a good person.

You know, he called
me a couple weeks ago.

Oh really?

Just to say hi, check in.

Oh.

I can remember your wedding
like it was yesterday.

You two always seemed so happy.

Yeah, we were lucky.

Were you still happy?

Of course.

Because that
would have affected

the course of the investigation.

What are you implying?

Gee, you're an attorney.

You know what I'm implying.

David told me that
you two were unhappy

and that he was taking
this last trip with you

to soften the blow of
asking for a divorce.

Every couple has
their ups and down.

He didn't ask for a divorce.

Because you pushed
him off a cliff

before he could ask for one.

It's all conjecture.

We'll see how
much is conjecture

when I reopen the case
and tear your life apart.

David was the
brother I never had.

We grew up together

and I will not stand by

and let what was going
to be his ex-wife

get away with murder.

Well, I had hoped
this would have been

a more pleasant visit,

but I can see what
you're really after.

Guess we'll see.

Am I the third wheel here?

Yes.

No.

Does it give you a rush?

What?

The power, having someone's
life hanging in the balance

and you controlling
which way it goes.

You really love
yourself, don't you?

Focus here, Mr. Jenks.

I wanna see my daughter.

She's someplace safe.

I wanna see my daughter!

Relax, psycho.

Psycho.

I don't think I'd let
anyone get away with that.

Until now.

We'll see, old man.

Why don't you
tell us about it?

I wanna talk to Chrissy.

Of course you do, but
that's not going to happen.

Chrissy will never
testify against me.

My daughter loves me.

She loves you probably

and she won't betray you.

She doesn't have to.

You betrayed yourself.

How did I do that?

Well not consciously,
but you did.

All the times you hurt her,

all the breaks and the
sprains, it all adds up.

You're the only one
living with her.

It all points to you.

And yet, it's
all circumstantial.

Not when Chrissy testifies.

I don't need your confession.

You're right.

Power is a rush

and I'm gonna
enjoy leveraging it

and controlling which
way your life goes.

Hm,

you guys are all the same,

read a couple fancy books
and put on some cheap suits,

very cheap suits.

And you think you're special,

but you're nothing,

nothing!

My daughter will never
testify against me.

Yes, she will.

When I walk into that courtroom
and Chrissy sees my face,

I walk.

Okay, we're done here.

We are done here.

What do you know

about the murder of
Christopher Nelson?

Chris committed suicide.

No.

That's what they said.

No he didn't and you know it.

Your only option here
is to tell me the truth.

I don't know anything.

Kyra, you had your
chance and you blew it.

You're under arrest.

For murder?

For obstruction of justice.

You'll get a year in jail
and there goes your life.

What if I told
you what I know?

Or at least what they told me?

I want everything.

You've been told

and if you hold anything
back or you're lying to me

I'll lock you up.

There's a pad and a pen.

Start writing.

Yes sir.

Mickey
Young, long time no see.

Christopher Nelson.

So you're the
private detective.

Jay Wellington,

Churchill Warren

and Christopher Nelson,

bunch of trust-fund babies.

They paid me to
investigate teachers

and faculty at A.C. Prep.

Well you didn't
break any laws.

Christopher Nelson's death,

not what I signed up for.

I'm done.

Retiring for good.

Integrity and class,
you had it as a cop

and you still have it.

When I retired, the only
reason I hung up a jingle

was I wanted to still be a cop.

Thank you for
coming in, Mickey.

I'm gonna take a
few days after this.

Let's go fishing.

I've been thinking about
a different type of fishing.

What I've really
been wanting to do is

sit down and read the Bible.

I think I need some reassurance

after dealing with all of this.

Maybe

become a fisher of men.

I like that, Mickey.

You're Maddie North,
teacher at A.C. Prep, correct?

Was is more correct.

I resigned.

All I know is some students
are blackmailing teachers.

Did that have anything to
do with your resignation?

Is it true about the suicide?

Well we're investigating that.

Why don't you tell me how they
were trying to get to you?

I lied on my application.

I said I graduated from
Yale and that isn't true.

Churchill found out about it and

he told me that he and all
of his little rich buddies

wanted all A's and I knew
it was just a matter of time

before everyone else found out.

So instead of going along
with it, I resigned.

Two days later,
Christopher killed himself.

That's all I know about that.

My father's a minister
and I confessed to him,

told him what I did and

he advised me to resign and
spend some time on my knees

getting some forgiveness.

That's good advice.

Thank you for coming
in, Miss North.

I know why I'm here.

Why are you here?

You think I had
something to do with

Chris committing suicide.

Well you were his roommate
and you did find the body.

We were roommates, yes,

but we never really had
anything to do with each other.

Nothing at all?

I'm a scholarship kid.

My parents don't have money.

A small group of us are
in a Bible study group

and we are pretty
much outsiders.

We know you investigated
teachers and faculty

and we know you used blackmail
and extortion to get A's.

Do we need an attorney?

Yes, you do.

Do you want one?

No, we don't believe
Chris' death was a suicide.

Correct, it wasn't.

We never thought it
would come to this.

We think we know who did it.

Let's have it.

We knew that Professor Russell
was unfaithful to his wife

so we squeezed him.

So you think
Russell killed him?

Probably Clive Barker did it.

We're pretty sure.

He's Professor Russell's
graduate assistant.

Well how does
Russell fit in this?

Clive will do whatever
the professor wants.

You know you boys are still
in trouble for blackmail.

Yeah, we're going
to jail, aren't we?

No, your parents are rich.

Their lawyers will probably
keep you out of jail.

I did it.

I killed Christopher Nelson.

I made it look like a suicide.

Why are you
confessing like this?

I just wanna get it over with.

Professor Russell came to
me and talked me into it.

Then he started talking about
me killing the other two

and I said, "No!"

He threatened to
turn me in for murder

and claim he knew nothing if
I didn't kill the other two.

You got any proof?

I have every conversation
recorded on my class recorder.

You got it with ya?

Absolutely.

Well let's have it.

I'm gonna need to keep this.

Fine by me.

Hey Ann.

Goldie, come in.

How's Devin?

Better.

Bill's taking him to the zoo.

And what's the latest?

I have custody for now.

It's looking like Sissy

will lose custody of
Devin permanently.

My lawyer says that either
myself or my son, Frank,

needs to adopt Devin
to guarantee custody.

Frank wants him and I said yes.

Devin likes both of his cousins

so he's okay with it.

Sissy's boyfriend

has been convicted of
child abuse in the past.

He'll go away for a long time.

And Sissy?

Six months in jail,
five years probation.

Where did it all go wrong?

I should have tried harder.

Alcohol.

Sissy's gonna need you
now more than ever.

I'll be there.

You've been snooping
around my students and Clive.

What, no flirting?

We got it all.

You're under arrest for murder.

I never came near
Christopher's room.

I can prove it.

You had Clive do it for you.

Really?

And how are you gonna
prove I did that?

Clive recorded it all.

You wanna hear it?

No, it's not necessary.

What about those boys
and what they did to me?

They didn't conspire to
murder anyone, you did.

If you'd only come to us
instead of killing Christopher.

20 years from now, you'll
still be asking yourself,

"Why did I do this
and was it worth it?"

It's funny what you're
capable of, isn't it?

Excuse me, boss.

Ben Barnes is here to see you.

He said he talked
with you this morning?

Yes.

The newspaper reporter.

Not newspapers,
magazine articles.

Right.

Now tell me again
why you're here?

Curiosity.

I thought my readers might
wanna see what goes on

in the District
Attorney's office.

In what way?

Cases that you're working on.

Murderers, rapists,
robbers and con artists?

I'm sure there's
no shortage of them.

Any really unusual
or intriguing cases,

stories, something that would
make my readers want more?

It's not protocol
to discuss open cases.

Keep the names out,
just the stories.

What are you really
looking for, Mr. Barnes?

Nothing specific,

just any cases that tweak your
interest on a personal basis.

Sorry Mr. Barnes,

I think you'll have to go to
another source for inspiration.

Well,

I appreciate your time.

Good luck to you.

Evening.

Evening.

Who was that?

Someone I don't trust.

I think we need to take
a closer look at him.

Why?

He came in out of the
blue asking about my cases.

Who do you think
he's linked to?

No idea.

We're handling a lot right now.

Okay.

Write his name down.

I'll have my people
take a look at him.

Hi Ace, you're early.

Edie.

I wish it was social.

Unfortunately, it's business.

I have something in the
park I have to show you.

Okay,

sure.

Is it okay?

Well, we'll see.

So I'm running with
my dog this morning,

you know, like I
always do, right?

She breaks away from me.

She never does that.

She comes on over to
this area right here

and starts scratching around.

Looks like little tiny graves.

Is that a cross?

They're little bunnies.

Their necks were broken.

That's unbelievable.

Edie, it gets worse.

Yesterday, I saw Carrie

and two of her friends
playing right here.

Carrie, my daughter?

Look, I'm a policeman.

I am duty bound to report this.

You don't have to do that.

Well actually,

Edie, I do.

Hey,

Mr. Ben Barnes has written
exactly one magazine article.

I knew he wasn't legit.

Anything else on him?

He's living with an
attorney named Jovanna West.

That ring a bell?

Looks like Christmas is
coming early this year.

We need to pick 'em both up.

You got it.

Are you arresting my daughter?

She's 10.

Excuse me?

Look, I know these
girls did a bad thing,

but why all this?

Don't you think
this is a bit much?

Mrs. James, acts of this nature

are an indication of
very disturbed behavior.

If we ignore this,

we could be creating a far
worse situation in the future.

We just wanna
make sure the girls

get the proper care
that they need.

Excuse me, who are you?

This is child
psychologist, Marsha Collins.

She and I will be conducting
the interviews with the girls.

It's gonna be okay.

Don't touch me!

Really?

You're under arrest.

For what, asking questions?

I haven't done anything illegal.

Well, for starters,

my favorite catch-all charge,
obstruction of justice.

We'll add the rest later.

You're not talking
your way out of this one.

Jovanna's done either way.

The only uncertainty
here is you.

Your loyalty to her
will only result

in a very long prison sentence.

You were serious then?

It is a murder, for real.

Yes.

Jovanna said her husband
died of an accident

and that you're trying
to frame her for it.

She asked me to try and find
out what you had on her.

Not good enough.

You're not a
convincing enough liar.

Now come clean or you're
going away for a long time.

I'm caught up in
something and now

I'm going to go to jail for it?

Well you're only
chance is to talk to us.

What do you wanna know?

Everything.

Where in the world
have you two been?

Just walking around.

You're out walking around

while there's still
chores waiting to be done!

I did the laundry and
Jenny cleaned the kitchen.

Take a look.

The kitchen floor's filthy!

Mop it!

Jenny mopped it this morning!

Well if it's so clean why
don't you eat off of it?

Dinner is served, you ingrates.

Fine, we'll mop it.

By the way, your 18th birthday
is at the end of the month.

You're gonna have to
find a new place to live.

Happy birthday.

Jenny, you'll be getting a
new brother and sister soon.

It'll be okay.

Mr. Mear, someone just came
in that I need to talk to.

Can I call you back?

Chrissy.

Great to see you.

You look good.

Thank you, I feel good.

You must be Chrissy's aunt.

Yes, I'm Mona Jenks.

I got a call from the office

saying I should come in
and sign some paperwork.

Yes we typed up
your statements

and just need you to sign them.

I'm so sorry Chrissy
had to endure this.

I had no idea my brother
was capable of this.

Janet, can you come in here?

Chrissy, Janet will take
you to sign the papers.

Okay.

You expect me to
believe that load?

Load?

What do you mean?

Robert Jenks didn't
just wake up one morning

and decide to become
an abusive psychopath.

That's ingrained.

It's genetic.

That's years of escalating

from one violent
moment to the next.

You can't sit here and
expect me to believe

you didn't see that.

In fact, I'm sure you
experienced it first hand,

didn't you?

I didn't.

Come on, find some
guts for your niece

and at least tell me the truth.

What'd he do, huh?

Yell at you?

- Throw things at you?
- Stop.

Kick you?

Yes.

All of the above and more.

He hit me a lot.

At first it was the getting
mad and throwing things

and then one day
when he was six,

he hit me when I
went into his room.

I was just looking
at one of his toys.

All I did was pick the
toy up to look at it.

That's why you live on the
other side of the country,

right, to get away from him?

But you left your niece
here to deal with him.

You must think I'm horrible,

but not anymore.

I think you two

should head into the
conference room to chat.

Did he tell you that
you are worthless?

Twist your arm so hard
you couldn't breath?

How did you know?

Oh, Aunt Mona, you too?

I'm sorry.

I should never have
left you here to suffer.

I was so scared he
was going to kill me,

I ran as far away as I could.

Stop.

It's over.

You don't have to explain.

You know, I can't even
remember being angry with him

for what he did.

I just remember
telling myself that

if I could just do
better and make sure

everything was perfect,
then that day would be okay.

It's going to feel strange

making it through a
day without worrying,

but eventually,

you'll regain yourself

and I'll be there to help you

if you want me to be there.

Is there a church
where you live?

There's a beautiful little
church I've been attending.

I'd love to take you.

I went with my friend to
hers and really enjoyed it.

The music was beautiful
and so comforting.

Chrissy, I became a Christian

and it has brought
peace into my life.

I don't know what that's like.

Peace.

All I know is I
wanna fill this hole

that's inside of my heart.

You'll have it.

We'll go see my pastor
as soon as we get home.

Home,

that's all I ever wanted.

Where have you been?

I have been waiting forever.

All right, all
right, I'm here now.

Let's do this.

Did you wash your hands?

Yep.

Good, okay, start with
a teaspoon of that one.

Good, now just a pinch of that.

Jack, please promise me you
won't leave me here by myself.

Yeah, yeah, I promise.

I'm serious.

I have no intentions of
leaving you here with her.

Who are we going
to try this on?

I have an idea.

Are you Detective Daniels?

Yes, I am.

My name is Watts, Moses Watts.

I'm here to report,

I killed my wife.

Uh, Mr. Watts, are you
any relation to Sara Watts

of the District
Attorney's office?

Yes, she's my granddaughter.

She's a lawyer and
a Harvard graduate.

Okay Mr. Watts, don't
say anything more.

Come with me in
my office, please.

Hey, you got here fast.

How did he get here?

Well he just uh, he
came into the parking lot,

asked me if I was
Detective Daniels

and told me he
murdered his wife.

My grandmother
passed away last month.

How old is he?

He's 78.

Well I told him not to
say anything and called you.

Thank you, Bill.

He's an honorable man.

Let's get to it, shall we?

Yeah, absolutely.

Poppy, Detective
Daniels tells me

you were saying
you killed grammy.

I did.

Grammy had cancer.

She died in her sleep, right?

She was in so much pain.

She wanted to die.

She asked me to get
a morphine bottle

and set it next to the bed,

with a glass of
her favorite wine.

I told her I love her,
couldn't, but she begged me.

I couldn't say no.

I did what she asked.

Did you help her
take the pills?

No, I took the bottle,

set it on the end table along
with a glass of Chablis.

She asked me to
go to the kitchen,

pour me a glass and wait
until she called me.

I did what she asked.

She called for me and
I took my glass with me

and sat on a chair next to
the bed, sipped my wine.

She said she loved me,

closed her
eyes and went to sleep.

Oh Poppy, that must
have been very difficult.

You're not mad at me?

I thought you would hate me.

No Poppy, I don't hate you.

Mr. Watts, let your
granddaughter take you home.

I broke the law.

I helped her to end her life.

She never told
you her intentions.

A good lawyer will just argue
she was taking a normal dose.

Go home, Mr. Watts.

He's right,

I don't see 12 people on
a jury convicting you.

You did the right
thing coming here.

You reported it.

What I did I know is not
right in the laws of God or man.

I knew what she was going to do.

You think the Lord
will forgive me?

If you're truly repentant
and you seem to be.

Jack, fix me a
drink, you know,

the pink one I like
in the evening.

Absolutely.

Coming right up.

Yes ma'am,

one pink drink just for you.

Cory's here.

Good afternoon, ladies.

Who's hungry?

I'll have a turkey with
Cheddar wrap, please.

Mmhmm.

- Here you go.
- Thank you

Cora, didn't I ask you

not to bring anymore
of those brownies?

I'm gonna gain 10
pounds just on brownies.

You'll be fine, dear,

just run an extra three
miles in the morning.

I'll have the ham and Swiss.

And a brownie.

Gimme two.

I'll put it on
your tab, ladies.

Bye Cora.

I don't like this at all.

This is my case.

I developed all the evidence,

I should be the only
one to question Gage.

Of course I want you
in on the questioning,

but I need the first
team in its entirety.

That includes you,
but also Daniels.

He's the best we have.

I don't agree.

Look, I'm a lieutenant.

He's been doing
this for 40 years

and he's still just a detective.

Wrong, it's actually
Captain Daniels.

Don't, Ann.

Captain what?

Daniels has been getting
promoted all along.

That's why he's in charge
of the interrogation unit.

He outranks you.

I don't get it.

It's really simple,

I don't want criminals
I'm investigating

to know I have any authority.

You can take the lead here,
I'll take second chair.

All right, but three's
too many in there.

Fine, I'll just watch.

Gage, you have been
conning elderly people

out of their retirement
savings way too long.

Well, I don't see it that way.

I'm an investment advisor
and it's perfectly legal.

Then why is it I have over
200 complaints on my desk

claiming that you've
been conning them?

Okay, I made some investments
that didn't work out,

but it's not illegal.

I'm not Bernie Madoff.

He just took people's money.

I have invested every dime
investors have given to me,

every single dime.

Correct, but losing
money on paper.

But I've traced the money
coming out of the back door

into the account
of James Lester.

I never heard of
any James Lester.

That's doesn't ring a bell?

No, it doesn't ring a bell.

James Lester's your real name.

No, it's not.

One in Pomona, California,

served time for pulling
the same con in Arizona.

I know nothing
about any bank account

under the name of James Lester.

Well don't worry about
it, James Lester's broke.

We seized all the money in
the account this morning.

What?

No, you can't do
that, you can't.

We can and we did.

We got it all, all 18,000,000.

It's 18,249,000 to be exact.

You are a miser.

You took the money, but
unlike other crooks,

you never blew it.

It was never about the money.

It was about the con game.

Yeah, well it
looks like everyone

will pretty much get
all their money back.

I think I'm gonna
be sick.

Do us a favor, wait 'til
you get back to your cell.

Nice work.

Thanks, Captain.

Can I go now?

No you're gonna sit here
and think about what you did

and don't get my table dirty.

What?

I know I'm asking this
a lot, but you okay?

I'm tired.

It's never gonna end.

I feel like I'm in a tidal wave.

The bad guys just keep coming.

Are we making any difference?

We are.

Jack, this is D.A. Walker
and I'm Detective Daniels

and we're sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

You found any leads?

Oh, it's too soon to tell.

I'm sorry, but we need to
ask you some questions.

Absolutely, any
way I can help.

Where were you
between the hours

of 2:00 p.m. and
5:00 p.m. yesterday?

Uh, I was at the movies
with my sister, Jenny.

Anyone who can verify that?

Yeah, the girl behind
the counter, Nicole.

I spoke to her
for a few minutes.

Do you know anyone who
might wanna hurt Edith?

No.

No.

I sure hope you
catch who did this.

All right, stay close,

we may need to ask you
some more questions.

Sure.

If there's anything I
can do, just let me know.

Thank you.

Hi Jenny, I'm Detective Daniels.

Hi.

Jenny, I'm sorry about Edith.

Me too.

I have to ask you
a few questions.

Were you at the movies
with your brother

at around 2:00 to
5:00 p.m. yesterday?

Yeah.

Did you hear anyone
she got upset with

or anyone that argued
with her or yelled at her?

No, but I spent a lot of
time at my friend's house.

Okay Jenny, thank you for
answering a few questions

and you can go back outside
with your brother now.

Oh, thank you for
coming Agent Fisher.

Thanks for the head's up.

Yeah, this is our Russian
translator, Josefina Hoffman.

Ma'am.

So, what do we have?

Well that's Olga Azarov Lewis.

She reported her
husband missing.

He's been gone about 36 hours.

Any evidence she
did something to him?

Well we're still
processing the house.

We haven't found any
witnesses to talk to.

You won't.

That's her lawyer,
Mark Andreyev.

He's a fun one, good luck.

Hello, I'm Agent
Fisher with INS.

This is Officer Hoffman.

You should be out
looking for my husband,

not sitting here questioning me.

It's my understanding local
law enforcement is doing that.

All right, let's
get this over with.

How long were you married?

14 months.

Were you happy?

Yes.

How happy?

Happy as any other couple.

Why did you wait so long

to report your husband
missing Mrs. Lewis?

Sometimes he would
go fishing or hunting

and would be gone for a day.

Usually he tells me, but
this time, he just didn't.

Your statement says
you were home alone

'til you went to
the store yesterday.

No friends over, just you?

Just me.

Do you have any
friends, Mrs. Lewis?

No, not really.

You know, it's hard
to make friends

when you are from
another country.

Your bracelet
looks really unusual.

Is that from Russia?

Yes.

Mrs. Lewis, would you mind
rolling your sleeves up for me?

Why does she need to do that?

Curiosity.

Your husband beat
you, didn't he?

Nope, she fell.

She's clumsy.

I guess we're done here.

Don't leave town.

Well, that went nowhere.

Their little sidebar, she
didn't wanna show her arms,

but the lawyer said she'd
looks suspicious if she didn't.

He knew we're not gonna
get anywhere with it.

And he's correct, without
a body or more evidence,

we're done and her
lawyer knows it.

So, where are we?

Will's with toxicology.

He's a leading expert on
naturally occurring poisons.

Naturally occurring?

Yes, this person must have
a fairly strong understanding

of herbs and flowers and
what could be combined

to create a poison.

Okay so who are we
looking for, a botanist?

Maybe, but not necessarily.

All the components can
easily be found online.

Even someone with no experience

is capable of
compounding a poison.

We're almost done
analyzing the components

and we should have a report
to you by the end of the day.

Your victim was
poisoned and beaten.

The perp most likely

didn't wanna wait on
the herbs to do the job.

Had to be someone with
a whole lot of anger.

Oh, and that partial
print you wanted me to run,

it wasn't a partial, it was a
full fingerprint of a child,

I'd say between nine
and 12 years old.

Interesting.

I hope it's not who
I'm thinking of.

Kerry, do you know
why you're here?

No.

We found some graves.

Looks like bunnies
were killed and buried.

We found those.

We didn't have anything
to do with killing them.

Okay, do you know who did?

No.

Okay.

We're gonna have to
talk to the other two.

Are you sure this is
all you wanna say?

Yup.

Okay, back outside.

Do you know why you're here?

Because of the bunny graves?

Did you kill the bunnies?

No, we just found the graves.

We didn't do anything.

You just found them?

Okay, send in Maria.

I know Kerry's the alpha.

The what?

The alpha, the leader
of your little group.

You seem like the
reasonable one.

Tell me what happened.

We just found the graves.

Did you dig one up?

- Maybe.
- Maybe?

You did or you didn't.

Yes.

And what did you do with
it once you dug it up?

Buried it again.

Do you know who
killed the bunnies?

No.

Okay, Maria, wait
outside please.

You see what I see?

They're a pretty tight group,

got their stories all lining up.

Should we do this as
a group or each one?

Group, but I think
the focus needs to be

put primarily on Kerry.

Why don't you
handle this round.

Okay.

Hi girls, my name
is Dr. Collins.

I know this is all
a bit overwhelming

so we'll try to keep it brief.

Who can tell me who was the
first one to find the graves?

I did.

And when was that?

I don't know, maybe
a couple weeks ago.

And so you were showing
the graves to Maria and Rosa?

Yes.

Why?

I don't know, guess
I thought it was cool.

You didn't think to tell
your parents about them?

No, I know what
goes on in the world,

I can handle it.

You seem like you're
mature for your age.

We have a witness that says
you've been going back there

for about two months.

So a couple of weeks
ago is not accurate.

It's better you tell
us now what happened

rather than us piecing
the puzzle together later.

It was an initiation.

Shut up!

It's over, they're
going to figure it out.

She made us do it!

Shut up, both of you!

An initiation for what?

To join the group, we
each had to kill a bunny.

I'm still having nightmares.

There are five graves.

How many people
are in this group?

Just us.

So who killed the
other two bunnies?

Who put the cross on the grave?

I did.

Okay.

I'll be talking with
your parents next.

Stay here.

You can drop the innocent act.

It took you long enough.

I started to think that I would
actually get away with it.

Started thinking about
who would be next.

What happened?

You're smart, real smart.

You could've done anything.

What kind of
people do you think

makes something of
themselves in this world?

The people like me

or the kind that lives in
big cities with rich parents?

Why Edith?

She took care of you.

Yeah right,

all she wanted was her
monthly checks from the county

so she could feed
her drinking habit.

Do you know what she's like
when she starts drinking?

Well what'd you beat her with?

What makes you
think I beat her?

Beating someone is messy.

I told you before, I
don't like to get messy.

Just like a cobra,
fascinating to look at,

but dangerous to be around.

Funny, my brother
says the same thing.

- I got this.
- Yeah.

What's your name again?

It's Nicole.

Such a pretty name.

Listen beautiful, uh,

maybe we can go out sometime.

Would you like that?

Wow.

I sure would.

Yeah, so would I,
but I have this problem, see.

What problem is that?

I'm gonna need to step our
for a few minutes, you know,

to make arrangements
for our date.

The problem is, if anybody
finds out that I left

before the movie was over,

I could be in some big trouble.

In trouble with who?

Nevermind that.

Can I count on you or not?

Just in case anybody asks.

I won't tell
anyone, I promise.

I'm gonna need more than that.

Just if anybody asks
about me being here,

I need you to tell them,

I need you to tell them

that I was here through
the whole movie.

Sure, I can do that.

Where would we go on the date?

Oh, that's a surprise.

I love surprises.

I can see you're putting
together all the pieces now.

Jack left the
theater mid-movie.

He said he couldn't help
himself, he had to see.

And she wasn't
dead so he beat her.

She was getting there, but
the dosage was too small.

I guess he walked in on her
trying to reach the phone.

Well where is he?

Not sure, maybe visiting
our aunt in Tulsa.

You don't have an aunt.

Okay Jack, it's
over, we got it all.

You got anything to say?

You don't have squat.

I've got nothing to say.

Well we know about Nicole,

the young lady at
the concession stand.

She broke under pressure.

She told us, you asked
her to alibi you.

So what'd you beat Edith with?

A bat.

How you feeling?

I see we didn't give you
a strong enough dose.

Just so you have a
complete understanding

of what a wretched, selfish,

uncaring, piece of meat you are,

I'm gonna take a few
minutes of my time with you.

Oh that
looks like it hurts.

All those nights of
being mean to us,

saying cruel things
to make Jenny cry?

Oh, I'm sorry about that.

Can't have the neighbors
hearing your screams.

Actually, I'm, I'm not sorry.

This world is going to be a
better place with you not in it.

Oh and we know
about the herbs too.

So like I said, we got you.

Then you know that
I'm just a product

of a really messed up society.

Keep it the way it is and there
will be plenty more like me.

You'll just be
stacking the bodies.

Oh and I'm not 18 yet.

Something wrong
with one of the cases?

You know I used to think

that if I did enough
good in this world

nothing bad would happen to me,

that if I locked
up the bad guys,

I could stave off all
the horrible tragedies

we see every day.

I can't stop it.

Now I realize the most
important thing you can do

is to spend time with
the ones you love

being grateful for every
good moment you get.

I see the same thing in you.

You've never told me, but I
know something drives you.

You're like me, you
live for the job,

but don't let that be the
only thing that you live for.

So, you're retiring?

From this.

I'm gonna spend time
with Devon, fishing.

By the way, Jenks
took the plea deal.

Wait, who's gonna replace you?

For we

are not fighting against
people made of flesh and blood,

but against the evil
rulers and authorities

of the unseen world, against
those mighty powers of darkness

who rule this world and
against the wicked spirits

in the Heavenly realms.
