So, what brings you down
from Vice, Detective?

Had a complaint yesterday from
a guy named Vincent Kelmer.

Vice president of his
home owners association.

Neighborhood block captain.

What's his problem?

Well, he's noticed
an unusual number of men

coming in and out of the home
of one of his neighbors.

Shannon Cooke, housewife,
mother of two.

So, he jumps to the conclusion
that she's turning tricks.

That's logical.

Does he have proof?

He's been videotaping
guys coming in

and out of her house
for a couple of weeks.

Creepy. I know.

Maybe Shannon Cooke
is a CPA

who works out
of an at-home office.

My CPA doesn't do
my returns in a teddy.

Have you talked to her?

Not yet.

Thought you might want
to join me.

I'm not real interested
in busting

my neighbors for having sex.

STEVE:
Thank you, gentlemen.

Hey, Steve.

What do you think
about a soccer mom

who's turning tricks
at home in her spare time?

I'm going to assume that's
a hypothetical question.

Not if you live next door
to this lady.

Well, if it's true, we're not
going to ignore it.

If it's true,
it's a misdemeanor.

Wait till you
see the tape.

I'm telling you, this
lady's hot to trot.

One bored housewife
turning a few tricks

while her kids are
at school isn't exactly

a public menace,
Detective.

And you'd need to literally
catch her in the act

of exchanging sex for money
in order to press charges.

Well, that's
what I'm saying. We set up a sting.

A $6,000 sting to make her
pay a $200 fine?

I don't think so.

Decaf?

You're drinking decaf now?
What's the point of that?

Do we need to go
through this again?

I'm breast-feeding.

Trying not to get my child

addicted to caffeine,
if you don't mind.

You really want
to set up a sting

to catch one lousy hooker?

This neighborhood
block captain, he's threatening

to go to the media with it
if we don't shut her down.

Then let's get ahead of it.

Oh, come on, Steve.
This is a misdemeanor.

Not to mention
a victimless crime.

This has "time suck"
written all over it.

It also had "lead story
on the ten o'clock news"

written all over it, Annabeth.

It's a waste of time
and resources.

Good thing you're not
paid by the hour.

Whoa.

Uh-huh.

Talk about your
desperate housewife.

Captioning sponsored by
CBS

and Warner Bros.

STEVE:
Okay, people, let's adjourn the gossip

and get started.

Issue one-- we need to get
our conviction rate up.

Is there something you want
to share with us, Annabeth?

Uh, I bet Danny a dollar

that the stats
on convictions

came out today.

You taking money
from a paralegal?

Am I right the stats
came out today?

Yes.

Okay. Updates?

Annabeth.

Well, Steve, I've got a soccer
mom prostitute to interrogate

pushing my armed robbery
and granny extortion ring

to the back-burner.

Could someone explain the broken
window theory to Ms. Chase?

Maureen.

Ignoring small crimes
emboldens criminals

to commit more serious ones.

STEVE:
Prostitution attracts criminals,

criminals attract crime,

so we don't ignore
the small stuff.

More updates.

MAUREEN:
So you're serious.

You've got a soccer mom turning
tricks out of her house?

Allegedly.

Her neighbor may just have
an active imagination.

Well, nothing upsets
some people more

than the idea of other people
having lots of sex.

I know it upsets me.

I get mad
just thinking about it.

Man, I've got a baby.

I get mad thinking
about other people

getting a good night's sleep--
never mind getting busy.

Play it safe out there.

Let me know if you need me.

Thanks.

We got a complaint
from a concerned citizen

about the number
of visitors you receive.

Is that a crime?

Well, it is if
you're turning tricks.

That's ridiculous.

I'm married.

I have two kids
in grade school.

Why on Earth...

So you're not turning
tricks at home

while your husband's
at the office

and your boys are
going to school?

No, no, absolutely not.

Now how do you explain
these gentlemen?

I have a lot of friends.

You sure are friendly.
I'll give you that.

Mrs. Cooke, please
just give us

a reasonable explanation
for what's going on here

and we'll drop
this whole matter.

What do you want from me?

ANNABETH:
We want what you're doing to stop.

That's it.
We're not looking to ruin

anyone's life here,
but your neighbors

don't want to live next door
to the Chicken Ranch.

You can't arrest me.

In Indiana, you have to solicit

an undercover cop
to be prosecuted

and money has
to exchange hands.

So if you don't mind,
I have to go pick up my son.

How does your husband feel

about you entertaining
so many friends?

I have his number right here.

Why don't I give him a call?

Please, don't contact him.

He just started at this new job.

Look, he got laid off
for six months.

And we got behind

on our mortgage.

I was only going to do it
until he got his bonus

and we could catch up
on the payments.

So how long have you
been turning tricks?

A month or so.

Terri said we'd be okay
if we didn't solicit a cop

and if we didn't
handle the money.

ANNABETH:
Who's Terri?

Was it Terri

who did all this research
on solicitation

and the technicalities
of the law?

I can't tell you that.

Is Terri the one
who got you into this?

I can't talk about that.

Are there other women
involved in this?

Oh, no. Please, please, please.

Don't call my husband.

He'd die a thousand deaths
if he knew.

Please, he can't
find out.

My God, what if my kids
find out?

ANNABETH:
Calm down. Am I going to be arrested?

Am I going to jail?
Not if you tell us the truth.

And if I do, will you promise
not to tell my husband?

I think that can be arranged.

You think,

or you promise?

I'll grant you immunity
from prosecution

and I'll do my best
to protect your anonymity.

But first,
we need to know

exactly who this
Terri person is.

And how many other ladies
are involved

in this line of work?

Need your help.

The state of Indiana

has allocated $42 million
for Weed and Seed grants.

Weed and Seed?
You go into a neighborhood

and weed out the drug dealers
then seed the good stuff.

Such as?

After-school clubs,
treatment programs.

The point is,
we want our weed money.

Could mean $7 million.

What do we have to do?

Get our conviction rate up
on drug dealers.

And what about

all the murderers who don't
happen to be drug dealers?

That's the beauty part.

They give us money
for drug dealers,

which frees up money
in our budget

to prosecute murderers.

As long as we're not
spending all our time

drumming up drug cases.

Don't have to.

Police stopped a truck
with 25 pounds

of ammonium nitrate
and various other chemicals.

Meth dealer.

Right.

There were three guys
in the car.

I want you to charge them all.

Were they all dealers?

They are now.

Steve.

The law says anyone
in the truck

can be held accountable
for its contents.

Trust me. None of these guys
are Boy Scouts.

It's a three-for-one deal.

Take it.

I had Danny pull priors

on the woman
Shannon says

was the ringleader,
Terri Shaffer.

She managed Mrs. Cooke's career
as a suburban working girl.

She's a JD MBA, business school
and law school.

DANNY:
Terri Shaffer was arrested three years ago by Tulsa Vice.

Charges were dropped
on a technicality.

We think she's running the same
M.O. here in Indianapolis.

Stay-at-home housewives
turning tricks?

It's not quite

as far-fetched as it sounds.

Our witness tells us a lady
sees five or six clients a week,

300 bucks a pop.

Terri takes half for making
the arrangements.

They keep the rest.

Terri, meanwhile, keeps upwards
of $400,000 a year profit.

Tax free, huh?

The ladies charge more
for special requests.

Uh, overnights,
multiple partners, mixed doubles.

It's all on the Web site.

Matt, our computer expert,
is checking out right now.

There's a Web site?

Oh, yeah,
with lots of things to click on.

raunchymamas.com

How many raunchy mamas
are there?

MATT:
According to the Web site,

at least nine.

Our witness, Mrs. Cooke,

says they all
know each other

through their kids,
the gym, stuff like that.

One friend tells
another friend

how easy it is
to make extra money

and that's how Terri builds

a stable of women.

"The premiere listing

of adult entertainment models."

For legal cover
it bills itself as a modeling service.

Oh, so you show up at this
lady's house and she, uh,

models lingerie for you.

MATT:
It's a smart operation.

They run
a credit card check

and background to screen
for law enforcement.

You need a referral.
No exceptions. I tried.

What are these?
Reviews.

The johns use
a rating system.

From "okay if
you're drunk"

to "forgot I was
paying for it."

So, how do I make a date?

Uh, hypothetically.

You order through
the Web site.

Pay through an online
billing service.

Shows up on your
credit card statement

just as if you were
purchasing a book.

A $300 book.

Which makes it almost
impossible to prosecute.

Not impossible,

but difficult.

Around 70%
of high-end call girls

have a Web presence
these days.

The women never
touch the money.

They're instructed
not to even ask.

Well, the money has to change
hands sometime.

Mrs. Cooke says they meet
every other Tuesday night

and Terri pays them in cash.

They call it "Book Club."

My wife's in a book club.

So, you're going to wire

this Mrs. Cooke lady
and send her in?

You got it.

If we can tie the
money to the girls,

we can get Terri Shaffer for
running a criminal enterprise

and we can shut this
whole operation down.

What about these other ladies?

Steve, I don't really
see any good

in sending a bunch
of working moms to jail.

I mean, hopefully
we scare them enough,

they'll never do it again.

I want the madam,
not the moms.

Okay.

My client is way too much of
a waste case to run a meth lab.

Hmm. That's your defense?

Yes. Derrick's a meth head.

He can't remember
his own phone number,

let alone operate
a highly sophisticated drug making operation.

That must be the most pathetic
argument I've ever heard.

Maureen, seriously,

you don't believe
he's running a meth lab.

I can make the case.

Why would you want to?
The guy's a wasteoid.

Let him plead
six month's possession.

He was in a car

with 25 pounds
of ammonium nitrate.

You know who
the dealer is.

He was driving the car.
He owns the car.

He's got an arrest record
a mile long for dealing.

My client was just...

getting a ride from him.

He should have
taken the bus.

Calm down, Shannon.

You can do this.

We just want Terri.

But we need her to say
the money is for sex, okay?

You need to literally get her
to say those words.

The money is
an exchange for sex.

Well, what if
they figure it out?

What if they can tell
it's a camera?

ANNABETH:
Listen to me.

Nothing is going to happen.

DETECTIVE:
Hey, stop worrying about your good friends.

Think about the judge
who's going to take

your kids away
if you don't cooperate.

Are you ready?

WOMAN:
Hey Shannon, how you doing?

I'm really good.
How's things going?

Good. Good.

ANNABETH:
I thought this was a brothel.

Looks like a tea party.

It's a book club.

For hookers.

Put your hands off
the camera, Shannon.

Hands off the camera.

She's freaking out.

She'll be fine.

So, did you read the book?

Yeah.

Nobody ever
reads the book.

That's why I quit the book club.

My sister goes to get
away from her kids.

When does that start?

Wanting to be away from them?

All I want is to
be with my baby.

When they start talking back,

and slam the door
in your face

and tell you
they hate you.

So, like around 15?

More like two.

You guys want to come over
on Sunday?

You can bring your suits.
We're going to hit the pool.

Yeah, great.

Did you hear
what happened to Jackie?

Let's not get into that.

Well, what happened?
She broke her wrist.

Or... should I say
it was broken for her.

A client threw her
off the bed

and then Terri

wouldn't let her
cancel her week.

Come on, Ryan.

Terri will freak
if she sees you're drunk.

Oh, screw her.

Come on.

Let's get our money
and get out of here.

Okay. Here we go.

We just want Terri.

Find Terri and get her to say
the money is for sex.

...$300 for special requests.
Here's $2,100.

Shannon I need you
to verify your hours. Are those financial records?

MacKenzie wanted
the blindfold thing again...

It must be.
She's doing payroll.

I want that computer.

You should've reported that.

Okay.
There you go.

We should go in.
No, wait. They haven't said it.

If the girls are dispersing
we're going to lose them. We don't want the girls.

We want that computer.

I don't want this
search thrown out

for lack of probable cause.

We have plenty
of probable cause.

No, we don't.
Why did you want me here

if you're not going to listen
to my advice?

If you go in now,

you put the
warrant at risk.

We have nine prostitutes and
their madam exchanging cash.

They haven't directly
tied the money to sex.

They talked about
the blindfold thing.

The blindfold thing
could mean anything.

Wait until the girls are gone

and limit the search and seizure
to the madam's computer.

I can't believe

we're going to let
them walk.

I made a deal
with Shannon.

And I'm not going to risk
exposing her now.

Indianapolis Police.
We have a warrant. Please step back.

This warrant authorizes

the Indianapolis
Police Department

to search 6624
Havenhurst Avenue.

If you touch anything

outside the exact grounds
of this warrant,

I'll sue you,
your department

and the city for harassment.

Do I make myself clear?

That's a whole lot of money
and a whole lot of johns.

I hear you don't
want to cooperate.

I've asked to speak
to my lawyer three times.

I'm sure he's on his way.

That's unlikely since
I haven't been allowed to use the phone.

We know about your arrest
in Tulsa.

What are you writing?

I'm taking
contemporaneous notes.

They hold up in court.

Yeah, I heard something
about that in law school.

Maybe we were there together.

Yale?

No.

Columbia?

I'll get you a phone.

Oh, state school.

Don't you feel embarrassed
doing this?

Putting scarlet letters on women
who aren't hurting anyone?

If you believe
nobody's being hurt,

you haven't been listening
to those women.

How many other
Jackie's are there?

Well, don't judge them
just because

their life goals are different
from yours.

No little girl raises her hand
in fifth grade

and says, "I want to be a hooker
when I grow up."

You're preying on them.

Well, maybe she says,
"I want to feel attractive."

Or, "I don't want to depend
on a man for money."

Now, I'm just guessing
of course,

you'd have to ask them.

I've never been a prostitute.

No, you just make money
off them.

Oh, another uninspired attempt
to entrap me.

You definitely went
to a state school.

It's becoming less
and less likely

we're going to offer you a deal.

I don't need a deal.

But I do wish to speak
to my lawyer.

He went to Yale.

I will now hear pretrial motions

in People v. Terri Shaffer.

Motion to dismiss the charges,
Your Honor.

There's no probable cause
to hold my client.

We have a computer full
of payroll records.

Names, dates, events.

Constituting proof
of a prostitution ring.

Motion to suppress
the laptop.

Police had a warrant
for a computer,

but not for its contents.

Are you kidding me?

That's like saying
I can check a book out

of the library,
but I can't read it.

It's a matter of privacy.

Information on a computer

is inherently private.

Your Honor, I've had half
a dozen warrants

with this language
stand up in court.

It's implied

that if you seize a computer
you want the contents.

Your Honor, I have post-it notes
up on my computer

monitor with all kinds
of information.

Dates, passwords,

information to myself.

And as I recall,
Judge Ryker, so do you.

Interesting theory.
I'll take it under advisement.

The computer will be held

pending my ruling on
admissibility.

Remand the laptop to the vault.

Let's talk about bail.

MAN:
Derrick.

Over here.

Oh, sorry.

All right,
this looks good to me.

Can we set a trial date?

Uh, the defense
would like to add

an additional item into
evidence, Your Honor.

Exhibit 7A.

What is this?

A grant application for targeted
criminal justice funding

through the
Weed and Seed Program.

What's going on here, Mr. Hobbs?

The DA's office is applying
for a $7 million grant

that is tied to their
drug conviction rate.

The charges against my client

are a clear example of
prosecutorial excess.

And this grant application

goes to motive.

The DA is systematically
overcharging defendants

to increase
their federal funding.

Grant applications
reflect

the ongoing multi-year
efforts of any office,

not one-off prosecutions.

Furthermore, this application
is the confidential

property of the District
Attorney's office.

A concerned source furnished me
with the document.

Your Honor, this document
will be used

out of context in order
to discredit the DA's office

with the jury.

Yes, it will.

And you'll have ample
opportunity to explain yourself.

We'll see who
the jury believes.

The document is admissible.

DETECTIVE:
We should have picked up those girls.

I only need one, and
I already have Shannon.

What's going on?

We may not get the laptop.

So, while we're waiting
for the judge to decide,

let's focus on
Terri's financials.

Any luck with the Web site?

raunchymamas.com is hosted by a
Czech company via New Delhi.

She bouncing through four
or five proxy servers.

What about the credit cards?

The johns use a Web-based
payment service.

Did you get the records?
I put in a request.

Okay. Let's subpoena them

and their phone records
too, while we're at it.

Let's figure out how
they're all connected.

We'll just have to work
a little harder.

This is Annabeth.

How could you do this to me?

They're all over my lawn.

Shannon, what's wrong?
Who's there?

Reporters. People with cameras.

You said no one would find out.

I don't know what happened.

Shannon's on TV.

Confidential sources say

the accused soccer mom
and part-time prostitute,

Shannon Cooke, was taken in
for questioning and released.

Oh, my God.

These crimes came to light
because of a videotape made

by a concerned citizen
who supplied

WPKW with the exclusive
footage.

The neighbor sold the tape.

Oh, that creep.

Don took the kids.

He said he's leaving me

and I'll never see
my kids again.

Shannon, listen to me.

Calm down.

Keep your curtains closed.
I'll be right there.

No. I want out of this.
I want out of the whole thing.

Shannon, I know
this is horrible,

but we still need you
to testify.

No. I never want
to see you again.

I never should have trusted you.

Thanks.

You okay?

Yeah.

Honey, you tried to protect
her identity, okay?

If some jackass wants
to make a few bucks

and put her on the news,
he's going to do it.

I know.

Shannon's right.

She's probably going
to lose her kids.

And for what?

So she can keep up
the mortgage payments

on a five bedroom house?

Yeah, it seems backwards,
doesn't it?

You should see these women.

Nice looking, educated,
middle class.

Why would they put everything
at risk to turn tricks?

Well, for a thrill.

That is a male fantasy.

I don't know.

Maybe they're sick of carpools.

Maybe they're tired

of baking cookies
for dance recitals.

You know, maybe they want
to feel wild again.

Are you saying
I'm not wild enough?

I would never say that.

Annabeth Chase.

Oh, my God.

Oh, no.

She took
sleeping pills.

Downed a bottle of wine.

Her mother called the cops

when she couldn't get Shannon
to answer the door.

Sorry about Shannon.

So, what are you
going to do?

I'm gonna get Terri.

It's time to go after the rest
of these girls, Annabeth.

I can make my case
without blowing up more lives.

They're having
sex for money.

They're blowing up
their own lives.

So, it's okay
if they commit suicide?

Look, if you don't care
about them,

think about
what else could happen.

How long before
we start seeing angry husbands

killing their wives
after some concerned citizen

leaks their names?

Angry wives hunting down
prostitutes?

That proves my point.

We need to shut
this operation down now.

And to do that,

I still only need one
of these women to testify.

So, which one
is it gonna be?

Ryan.

She's not having a good time.

I think she'll talk.

Give it a shot.

But get the information
on the rest of these girls.

We're gonna have to
be ready to move on

if this one goes away.

Sometime next week?
Absolutely.

All right. Take care.

Why are you talking to him?

Who? Oscar?

He's an
old friend.

We just
had lunch.

Did you tell him
about the Weed and Seed grant?

No.

Because somebody just blew
my case right out of the water

by leaking a copy of our grant
to the other side.

What happens in this office
stays in this office.

I didn't do it.

And just so you know,

those grant applications are
a matter of public record.

All he needed to find
was a good paralegal.

You're a good paralegal, Danny.
It wasn't me.

And, uh, all due
respect Maureen,

I can't believe that
you would accuse me.

I'm a prosecutor.

I accuse people for a living.

I thought
we were... What?

I want to believe
in this office.

But is this what we do?

What?

Overcharge people.

The guy's a user, right?

You know he's
not a dealer.

I don't mean to
question you.

I guess am not sure
what I'm signing up for.

Ryan?

Yes?

I'm Annabeth Chase.

I work in the prosecuting
attorney's office.

Hmm. I was wondering
when it'd be my turn.

Look. I'm not interested
in prosecuting you.

I only want Terri.

I can't help you.

Why not?

She's not a nice person.

In what way?

In a way that I am not about
to tell a prosecutor.

Come on, sweetie,
let's go inside.

Ryan, why did
you do it? Why...

Why would you risk everything?

My marriage was a mess.

I-I wanted something
to wake me up.

Terri told me
how beautiful I was.

How men would want me.

And it seemed exciting.

Weren't you afraid
someone would expose you?

I used to go to the movies

and worry I'd see a john
and he'd recognize me,

and then one day,
during a session,

I realized...

they don't see me.

That's why they pay.

Why didn't you just stop?

Terri decided when you'd stop.

She blackmailed you.

Threatened to expose you?

Come on,
sweetie.

You know,

getting involved
was my mistake.

But she knew
when you were down,

and she'd zero in and use that

and-and not let go.

Now I'm just trying to hold
onto everything I have

as long as possible.

Here's how all these hookers
know each other.

This woman is a team mom

on her son's soccer team.

Playing on the same team
is this woman's son.

Now, both these boys go
to school

with this woman's daughter.

What's up with this one?

She hasn't come up anywhere.

And none
of the women are talking.

Ryan won't
testify, either.

She's scared she'll lose
custody of her daughter.

Just like Shannon.

Uh, excuse me.

The judge is ready
to rule on the laptop.

MAN:
My client is eager to cooperate.

He may have some information

about his friends that
would strengthen your case

in exchange
for a lighter sentence.

Okay.

MAUREEN:
What do you got?

About what?

About the driver.

Of the truck you were in

that was carrying 25 pounds
of ammonium nitrate.

Um,

we were...
we were partying together.

He, uh... he sold me some ice.

And then he, uh, had to...

He had to drop off some stuff

in the back of his big,
monster SUV, you know?

So we, uh... we drove,
and then he,

uh, said we were
gonna get some

candy bars 'cause
I was seriously tweaking.

But then the cops--
they-they stopped us,

and I was, like, "Oh, man."

Where were you taking
the chemicals?

Oh, dude, I know he told me.

'Cause-'Cause we were gonna go
by the 7-Eleven

and get some
candy bars.

This is not helpful.

Derrick, this is important.

Do you remember
where the lab was located?

The meth lab!

I wish.

Would that...
would that help you guys out?

JUDGE RYKER:
I've read the case log,

gone over this particular
search and seizure,

and I'm denying the motion
to suppress.

The police had a valid warrant
to enter the defendant's home

and seize the laptop.

The incriminating spreadsheet
was displayed

on the laptop in plain view
of the officers.

My clerk will see
that all paperwork

is completed, and the laptop
is ready for transfer

to the prosecutor's office
no later than-- let's say

1:00 today.

I heard you
lost a witness.

We'll make the case.
Let's save ourselves

a huge headache
and a lot more broken hearts.

Six months suspended.

Forget it.

And so we're clear, when
a witness commits suicide,

it suggests witness
intimidation,

which gets your client a
lot more than probation.

I'm not gonna forget

what your client
did to Shannon Cooke.

Mrs. Chase?

I'm Don Cooke,
Shannon Cooke's husband.

Oh, Mr. Cooke, I am so
sorry for your loss.

I found these for you.

Uh, it's her calendar,
address book.

Some photo's. I...
I hope it helps.

I'm sure it will.

Thank you.

Please, have a seat.

When they downsized my company,

I told Shannon we could move
into an apartment

until I found another job.

But Shannon said
we'd figure something out.

Then that letter came.

What letter?

From Terri.

She sent me a letter

listing all the men
Shannon had...

had slept with.

All the things she had done,
how much she was paid.

I didn't know what to do.

And then I saw that video
of Shannon on the news, and...

and I went nuts.

And I took the kids, and I left.

I should have let her explain.

I should have listened.

And now my kids
have lost their mother.

If there is anything
I can do, Mr. Cooke...

You can make Terri pay
for what she did to my family.

Please, tell me you'll do
whatever it takes

to get that woman.

Whatever it takes.

What is this?

It's a routine memo saying

I'm reducing the charges
against Derrick Rivers

due to insufficient evidence.

Why didn't you talk to me first?

A: Because I knew
you would freak out,

which you are doing.

B: Because since when do I
have to get your permission

on a routine drug case?

And C:

It was the right thing to do.

He needs rehab, not jail.

And if you want to accuse me

of being soft on crime,
good luck making that stick.

People like Derrick
support these dealers, Maureen.

You know that.
Get him on possession.

But there was
a greater good here.

This money means less crime,

which means lives are saved
down the line, real lives.

I hear you,

but I looked at that kid,
I talked to him.

He's not a dealer.

There are probably

thousands of people in jail
across the country because

of these grants, and maybe
they need to serve some time,

but when it becomes
about blood money,

I'm not gonna be a part of it.

And in Derrick's case,
it's blood money.

Point taken.

I don't know,
I don't know, I don't know.

Try this.
Okay. Okay.

What's happening?

It's eating the data.
Why? How?

I don't know.

Well, stop it.
I can't. Every time

I try to open a program,
it starts deleting files.

Ugh! Unplug it.

That was hi-tech.

This is our case.

No one else
will testify.

I know. There's a few
more things I can try.

No, I can't afford
to lose anymore material.

I have someone.

I've used him before
to retrieve information.

You're not taking this
away from me? This is no time for ego.

We need to solve
this problem now.

Thanks for all your help,
Elliott.

So, how's it look?

A time bomb was installed

that caused the data
to self-delete.

I was able to boot
into safe mode

and bypass the operating system
completely.

So, can you get anything off it?

Yeah, I got it all,

except for the files that
were deleted this afternoon.

You mean when the computer
started eating itself?

No, there were files deleted
before that.

I don't understand.

Well-Well, the file system says

that 16 files were deleted
at 2:01 p.m.,

just before the time bomb
was installed at 2:39 p.m.

No. No, that's
not possible.

We had control of
the laptop by then.

We?

Well, my computer expert, Matt.

??????

Did Terri pay you,
or did she comp you?

That's a printout
of the file system

showing the exact time
you erased the data.

Tampering with evidence
is a Class D felony.

You'd have been better off
dealing with the embarrassment

of your friends
knowing you hire hookers.

I don't.
Then why did you delete those files?

Your name was on that laptop.

It wasn't me.

Stop lying to me.

It was my daughter.

What?

Lily.

She got into some trouble.

She dropped out of school.

Since her mom and I split up,
she's been lost.

I tried to talk to her,

but she pretty much hates me
'cause I left her mom.

When you put her
photo up there,

I almost died.

I went over to Terri's house.

Matt.

I know.

I thought I could show her
my temporary consultant badge

and somehow
intimidate her--

tell her to get her hands
off my daughter.

What a joke.

She had a printout

of every trick
Lily had turned.

She said she'd tell her--
Lily's mom, our family,

our friends if I didn't
erase the laptop.

I was just trying
to protect her.

I can't ignore this.

I know.

You need to tell me
where Lily is.

Uh, you wanted to see me?

I made a deal
with Oscar's client.

He's pleading to probation
violation.

Six months suspended.

Oh, uh, okay.

I believe in what we do
in this office, too, Danny.

Sometimes things
get complicated.

Sometimes they get off track.

Well, thanks for telling me.

Lily, I'm Annabeth Chase,

from the prosecuting
attorney's office.

I don't want to talk to you.

Did your dad call you?

I don't talk to my dad.

Leave me alone or my mom
will hear you.

You know he's going
to jail for you.

What are you talking about?

My dad doesn't give
a crap about me.

I'm sorry to disappoint you,
but that's not true.

Your dad destroyed evidence
in this case

to protect your identity.

He didn't want
to see you hurt.

And now he's in
a lot of trouble.

If that's not love, Lily,
I don't know what is.

This isn't who you are.

This is just a mistake you made.

You can correct it,
and get your life back on track.

It's too late.

It's not too late.

For anything.

Your dad

loves you enough
to go to jail for you.

What are you willing to do?

Lily, tell us your relationship

with the defendant.

She hired me.

To do what?

To work with clients.

Lily, please speak up
for the mic.

What did Terri

hire you to do?

I was a prostitute.

How did you start working
for her?

I quit school.

I was bumming around.

I guess Terri was looking
for someone like me.

You know, young.

Some guys want that.

Terri saw me at the mall.

She asked me to come
to her book club.

I was all, like, "What?
I'm not reading a book."

She explained that's just

what she called it.

And then what happened?

Terri said I could make $300
if I slept with this guy.

$300 every time?

Half went to Terri.

The guys were gross.

Mainly fat and old.

How did it
make you feel?

How do you think?

Lily, why didn't
you just stop?

She'd make you pay.

She had these lists

of all the gross
things we'd done.

Like the extras and stuff.

The other girls told me.

She sent it to Shannon's husband
the day that she died.

Objection, Your Honor.
Facts not in evidence.

Sustained.

How old were you when you
started working for Terri?

Sixteen.

How old are you now?

Seventeen.

No more questions.

ATTORNEY:
Your Honor, I'd like to request

a brief recess,
please.

Let's be reasonable.

Two years probation.

I don't need to make a deal.

17% of American men
have slept with a prostitute.

That's one in five.

Odds are in my favor

that one guy on
the jury has.

Your client solicited and
employed an underage girl

to have sex with men.

You preyed on a troubled
teenager to make a buck.

You found women
who were weakened

by financial troubles,
divorces and depression

and you put their lives
in more jeopardy.

You're not going
to drive away from this mess

in your luxury SUV.

You're going to pay
for what you did to them.

To Lily and Shannon.

I'll be out in a year.
Two at the most.

I'll sell a book
like Heidi Fleiss.

I'm already negotiating
the M.O.W. rights

to my story.

I only went
to state school,

but I seem to remember
something about how

sexual photos of underage girls
like Lily on a Web site

constitutes child pornography--

which triggers the FBI.

For the rest of your life,

you won't be able
to get on an airplane

without a
strip search.

You move
to a new neighborhood,

you're a registered
sex offender.

No deal.

"State of Indiana

"v. Terri Shaffer,
under count one,

"we the jury, find
the defendant guilty

"of the crime
of promoting prostitution,

"a Class C felony.

"Under count two, we the jury,
find the defendant

guilty of the crime
of child solicitation."

Mrs. Chase?

Mr. Cooke.

I just wanted to say
thank you.

You're welcome.

I miss her.

Mr. Cooke...

she loved you
and the kids so much.

She made a mistake,

but she did it out of love

for you and your family.

Please don't ever doubt that.

Thank you.

JACK:
It's a good day for the Chase family.

You put that Ivy League
witch away.

Yeah.

The look on her face
when I told her

she'd spend the rest of her life
as a registered sex offender.

Can I ask you something?

You've never...

thought about...

you know?

Seeing a call girl?

Yeah.

Why would I?

I've already got the hottest
chick in Indianapolis.

( chuckles ):
Seriously, honey.

Do we...

you know, do we keep it
interesting enough?

My buddy, Mac, said
to me after Haley was born,

"It's a very long
first year, my friend."

I never liked Mac.

So is it?

A long year?

I have a kick-ass wife.

I have the most beautiful
baby in the world.

I count my blessings.
