Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,334 --> 00:00:04,167
Narrator:
In the criminal justice system, the people are represented
2
00:00:04,204 --> 00:00:06,638
by two separate yet
equally important groups...
3
00:00:06,673 --> 00:00:08,641
the police
who investigate crime,
4
00:00:08,675 --> 00:00:11,610
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,644 --> 00:00:13,202
These are their stories.
6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,907
(jackhammer pounding)
7
00:00:15,949 --> 00:00:17,780
Look, getting permits
was hard enough.
8
00:00:17,817 --> 00:00:19,910
Construction materials
behind the property line.
9
00:00:19,953 --> 00:00:22,319
You got benefit tickets?
How many you want me to buy?
10
00:00:22,355 --> 00:00:23,947
Reni, is he
offering us a bribe?
11
00:00:23,990 --> 00:00:25,821
What the hell are you
trying to do to me?
12
00:00:25,859 --> 00:00:27,793
Hey, you cops.
Come here!
13
00:00:35,568 --> 00:00:38,264
(police radio chatter)
14
00:00:38,304 --> 00:00:40,738
We pushed through this
sub-partition wall,
15
00:00:40,774 --> 00:00:43,834
one of the guys freaks,
sees this.
16
00:00:46,379 --> 00:00:48,347
Reni:
It could be an animal.
17
00:00:54,254 --> 00:00:56,745
Yeah.
18
00:00:56,790 --> 00:01:00,055
An animal that walks
on two legs and talks.
19
00:01:00,093 --> 00:01:02,960
Huh.
Call it in, Reni.
20
00:01:02,996 --> 00:01:04,691
Now.
21
00:01:06,399 --> 00:01:09,129
Young... eight, nine.
22
00:01:09,169 --> 00:01:11,467
What happened?
The kid crawl in and fall?
23
00:01:11,504 --> 00:01:13,438
Massive skull fracture.
24
00:01:13,473 --> 00:01:15,441
It doesn't sound like a fall.
25
00:01:15,475 --> 00:01:18,137
Yeah, more likely hit.
And not a love tap.
26
00:01:18,178 --> 00:01:20,442
So, boy,
girl, what?
27
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,416
Male. My guess...
nine years old.
28
00:01:24,451 --> 00:01:27,716
And he had
a JFK for President button on his jacket.
29
00:01:27,754 --> 00:01:31,713
Kid's been inside that wall
for 31 years.
30
00:01:35,829 --> 00:01:38,923
(theme music plays)
31
00:02:57,243 --> 00:02:59,404
30 years?
32
00:02:59,445 --> 00:03:01,242
Give or take.
33
00:03:01,281 --> 00:03:03,044
Who kills
a nine-year-old?
34
00:03:03,082 --> 00:03:04,947
Kid's fighting.
Something happens.
35
00:03:04,984 --> 00:03:06,815
Some pervert
waving his flag. Who knows?
36
00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:09,651
When it's dead kids,
it's usually Mom or Pop.
37
00:03:09,689 --> 00:03:12,715
Before '74 that building
was owned by a corporation...
38
00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:14,454
out of business.
No rent roll.
39
00:03:14,494 --> 00:03:16,223
You want to run with this?
40
00:03:16,262 --> 00:03:19,197
Missing persons?
Worth a shot.
41
00:03:19,232 --> 00:03:21,257
Take hand lotion.
42
00:03:21,301 --> 00:03:23,929
Papercuts... no computers
before '74.
43
00:03:25,004 --> 00:03:26,938
All missing children,
44
00:03:26,973 --> 00:03:29,464
1958 to 1964.
45
00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:31,101
That's a lot of kids.
46
00:03:31,144 --> 00:03:34,170
You think that's a lot?
Take any two years from the 80's...
47
00:03:34,214 --> 00:03:36,045
that many
and then some.
48
00:03:36,082 --> 00:03:37,947
What happened to them?
49
00:03:37,984 --> 00:03:40,646
I'll tell you one thing,
they didn't fly out the window
50
00:03:40,687 --> 00:03:42,712
with Tinkerbell and Peter Pan.
51
00:03:46,025 --> 00:03:47,856
(yawns)
52
00:03:49,395 --> 00:03:52,558
Seven years old,
June, 1962,
53
00:03:52,599 --> 00:03:56,296
disappeared... PS 431,
Staten Island.
54
00:03:56,336 --> 00:03:58,668
Oh God.
55
00:04:00,573 --> 00:04:02,507
Time to call
the psychics.
56
00:04:02,542 --> 00:04:04,510
Keep reading.
57
00:04:04,544 --> 00:04:07,172
After six hours, I don't even
know what we're looking for.
58
00:04:07,213 --> 00:04:09,078
You want a Danish
or a cruller?
59
00:04:09,115 --> 00:04:11,811
You know,
you look at these,
60
00:04:11,851 --> 00:04:14,251
you think people
misplace their kids
61
00:04:14,287 --> 00:04:17,381
like they lose umbrellas.
62
00:04:17,423 --> 00:04:21,325
Uh, give me
a Danish... strawberry.
63
00:04:22,996 --> 00:04:24,930
Bingo!
64
00:04:25,999 --> 00:04:29,093
Male, eight years old.
65
00:04:29,135 --> 00:04:33,094
Reported missing
October 6, 1962.
66
00:04:33,139 --> 00:04:36,973
Keegan, Thomas,
67
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:40,138
lives across the street...
596 E. 84th Street.
68
00:04:40,179 --> 00:04:42,113
You got dental records?
69
00:04:46,452 --> 00:04:48,784
Who were the detectives
on the case?
70
00:04:49,889 --> 00:04:52,551
Sergeant Dominick
McFadden,
71
00:04:52,592 --> 00:04:54,890
and Detective Joe Shelby.
72
00:04:54,927 --> 00:04:56,121
Terrific.
73
00:04:56,162 --> 00:04:58,528
Listen, an old
case of yours...
74
00:04:58,564 --> 00:05:00,657
Tony DeCecco...
I saw in the papers.
75
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:02,190
His brother got whacked.
76
00:05:02,235 --> 00:05:04,203
Missing child, 1962.
77
00:05:04,237 --> 00:05:06,205
Keegan,
eight years old,
78
00:05:06,239 --> 00:05:08,673
brown hair,
green eyes, 4'4",
79
00:05:08,708 --> 00:05:10,903
scar over his left eye.
80
00:05:10,943 --> 00:05:14,037
Fell on the concrete
steps when he was six.
81
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,139
You sound like you
just read the file.
82
00:05:16,182 --> 00:05:18,047
You ever do
a missing kid?
83
00:05:18,084 --> 00:05:20,575
Yeah, my partner, Shelby,
retired to Florida.
84
00:05:20,620 --> 00:05:22,645
Once, twice a year,
he used to call about it.
85
00:05:22,689 --> 00:05:24,122
Couldn't let it alone.
86
00:05:24,157 --> 00:05:27,183
Good detective.
Prostate cancer...
87
00:05:27,226 --> 00:05:29,251
only 68.
88
00:05:30,396 --> 00:05:32,591
Case alive again?
We found the kid.
89
00:05:32,632 --> 00:05:34,691
Logan:
Bones in the basement of a building.
90
00:05:34,734 --> 00:05:36,964
Same block
as the kid lived on.
91
00:05:37,003 --> 00:05:39,130
Yeah, we figured somebody
in the neighborhood.
92
00:05:39,172 --> 00:05:41,732
You got a gay couple
in the file?
93
00:05:41,774 --> 00:05:43,867
My notes should have
been in there.
94
00:05:43,910 --> 00:05:46,174
Two guys...
30s, 40s...
95
00:05:46,212 --> 00:05:48,203
lived on the block.
96
00:05:48,247 --> 00:05:50,272
Connors, Conway,
something like that.
97
00:05:50,316 --> 00:05:52,181
The other guy...
98
00:05:52,218 --> 00:05:54,118
some German name.
99
00:05:54,153 --> 00:05:56,121
Couldn't make the case?
100
00:05:56,155 --> 00:05:58,385
Uh, father was dead.
101
00:05:58,424 --> 00:06:00,324
You find the mother?
102
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,193
Yeah, she was a teacher.
High school, West Side.
103
00:06:05,998 --> 00:06:08,159
Teachers now,
they take early retirement.
104
00:06:08,201 --> 00:06:10,897
20 years, move to the house
in Woodstock, never look back.
105
00:06:10,937 --> 00:06:12,336
Keegan, Beverly.
106
00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:14,363
Doris.
107
00:06:14,407 --> 00:06:16,341
- (keyboard taps)
- Okay.
108
00:06:16,376 --> 00:06:19,641
Keegan, Doris,
retired last year, full pension.
109
00:06:19,679 --> 00:06:21,271
Address?
110
00:06:21,314 --> 00:06:23,646
718 Penrose,
Fort Lee, New Jersey.
111
00:06:29,555 --> 00:06:33,218
When Tommy disappeared,
that was hard.
112
00:06:33,259 --> 00:06:35,693
But you know
what was even harder?
113
00:06:35,728 --> 00:06:38,162
When I gave up hope.
114
00:06:39,198 --> 00:06:42,759
Every once in a while
I figure out how old he'd be.
115
00:06:42,802 --> 00:06:45,965
What would he be doing? Hmm.
116
00:06:46,005 --> 00:06:48,371
Married maybe?
117
00:06:48,408 --> 00:06:50,603
Kids of his own...
118
00:06:50,643 --> 00:06:52,235
my grandchildren.
119
00:06:52,278 --> 00:06:54,803
Do you remember
who lived at 583?
120
00:06:54,847 --> 00:06:57,179
It's been a long time.
121
00:07:00,019 --> 00:07:02,146
About that day...?
122
00:07:04,290 --> 00:07:07,123
I was getting
my masters degree.
123
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,254
I left class.
I went to get Tommy.
124
00:07:10,296 --> 00:07:12,491
He was in the schoolyard.
125
00:07:12,532 --> 00:07:15,126
He said he was going
to play with his friends.
126
00:07:16,636 --> 00:07:18,797
I didn't give him a kiss.
127
00:07:18,838 --> 00:07:21,739
I didn't want
to embarrass him.
128
00:07:21,774 --> 00:07:24,538
I never saw him again.
129
00:07:27,413 --> 00:07:29,608
Did anybody walk
him home that day?
130
00:07:33,686 --> 00:07:35,984
Hospitals,
131
00:07:36,022 --> 00:07:38,718
all the kids' parents,
132
00:07:38,758 --> 00:07:41,022
the police, I called.
133
00:07:41,060 --> 00:07:43,688
It took me
years to move.
134
00:07:44,797 --> 00:07:46,697
Well, I wanted to be there.
135
00:07:46,732 --> 00:07:48,927
He might come home.
136
00:07:54,707 --> 00:07:56,698
Mrs. Keegan...
137
00:07:59,378 --> 00:08:01,903
the two men
who lived on that block?
138
00:08:01,948 --> 00:08:04,883
The ones the police suspected?
139
00:08:04,917 --> 00:08:06,908
Did they do it?
140
00:08:06,953 --> 00:08:08,921
Do you remember
their names?
141
00:08:08,955 --> 00:08:10,616
No.
142
00:08:11,691 --> 00:08:14,182
I thought I'd never forget them.
143
00:08:14,227 --> 00:08:17,025
But after a while I realized
144
00:08:17,063 --> 00:08:19,930
if you keep remembering,
you can't live.
145
00:08:22,101 --> 00:08:24,399
Yeah, yeah, thanks.
146
00:08:27,573 --> 00:08:30,371
No reverse phone
directories before '65.
147
00:08:30,409 --> 00:08:32,775
If we're going to find out
who lived in that building
148
00:08:32,812 --> 00:08:34,939
we're going to have
to knock on a lot of doors.
149
00:08:34,981 --> 00:08:36,710
Yeah, you have an address?
150
00:08:38,251 --> 00:08:40,242
Thank you.
151
00:08:40,286 --> 00:08:42,948
Okay, 1962,
152
00:08:42,989 --> 00:08:44,923
Con Ed had one account
in the building.
153
00:08:44,957 --> 00:08:47,084
Now there's a different address, still
active.
154
00:08:47,126 --> 00:08:49,560
Carl Lawler, Perry Street.
155
00:08:49,595 --> 00:08:51,563
It was our first apartment.
156
00:08:51,597 --> 00:08:54,760
- God, it was small.
- Barely room for a bed.
157
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,097
The police came
that night.
158
00:08:56,135 --> 00:08:58,228
We were at work.
We couldn't tell them anything.
159
00:08:58,271 --> 00:09:00,000
Who else lived
in the building?
160
00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:03,406
Carl:
Nice couple in the duplex. They had a daughter.
161
00:09:03,442 --> 00:09:04,932
You knew them, hon.
162
00:09:04,977 --> 00:09:07,002
Yeah, he was
in insurance.
163
00:09:07,046 --> 00:09:09,412
Messimer,
Catherine Messimer. I don't remember his name.
164
00:09:09,448 --> 00:09:11,609
What about the other
apartment on your floor?
165
00:09:11,651 --> 00:09:15,087
Uh, Dorfman and Conover.
166
00:09:15,121 --> 00:09:16,520
Not married?
167
00:09:16,556 --> 00:09:18,114
Two men... a couple.
168
00:09:18,157 --> 00:09:21,422
We wondered, but we thought it was awful
to suspect them at first.
169
00:09:21,460 --> 00:09:23,860
Have you
seen them since?
170
00:09:23,896 --> 00:09:26,694
Herald House... the publisher.
That's where they worked.
171
00:09:26,732 --> 00:09:28,427
Ed Conover was an editor.
172
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:30,526
They used to bring us
books sometimes.
173
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:32,504
I don't know how
you'd find them now.
174
00:09:32,538 --> 00:09:35,302
They'd be, what,
70, 75?
175
00:09:35,341 --> 00:09:37,901
Logan:
It's like chasing ghosts.
176
00:09:37,944 --> 00:09:40,208
30 years,
people disappear.
177
00:09:40,246 --> 00:09:42,942
Dorfman, one of the two guys,
died nine years ago.
178
00:09:42,982 --> 00:09:45,143
Conover left,
publisher's got no record.
179
00:09:45,184 --> 00:09:47,982
A lot of Conovers
in the book, but not our Ed.
180
00:09:48,020 --> 00:09:51,217
- Yellow sheets?
- Cerreta: You were hoping maybe for armed robbery?
181
00:09:51,257 --> 00:09:54,249
- Nothing.
- Find the other couple. Maybe they know.
182
00:09:54,293 --> 00:09:56,989
Messimer,
no current listing.
183
00:09:57,029 --> 00:09:59,896
Our friends at the phone company,
let's go see them.
184
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:02,162
Logan:
Plaza 5.
185
00:10:02,201 --> 00:10:03,862
Butterfield 8.
186
00:10:03,903 --> 00:10:05,871
Elizabeth Taylor
and Eddie Fisher.
187
00:10:05,905 --> 00:10:07,736
Numbers still had names
in those days, huh?
188
00:10:07,773 --> 00:10:11,539
My parents were Lexington 2,
my uncle was Chelsea 3.
189
00:10:11,577 --> 00:10:13,772
Here's '67 and '68.
190
00:10:13,813 --> 00:10:15,804
Thank you.
191
00:10:15,848 --> 00:10:20,547
Messimer, Thad,
still lived there in '65.
192
00:10:20,586 --> 00:10:23,555
Not in '67.
193
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:26,353
391 Central Park West.
194
00:10:26,392 --> 00:10:29,418
Messimer's gone
ages ago.
195
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:31,987
What did the Lawlers say?
He worked in insurance?
196
00:10:32,031 --> 00:10:35,125
Great, there's only a couple
of thousand insurance agents.
197
00:10:35,167 --> 00:10:37,727
The daughter...
she could tell you.
198
00:10:37,770 --> 00:10:41,035
They gave her the apartment.
Miss Atkinson, 14A.
199
00:10:41,073 --> 00:10:44,338
Atkinson is my
ex-husband's name. I kept it.
200
00:10:44,377 --> 00:10:46,641
You grew up
on East 84th Street?
201
00:10:48,447 --> 00:10:49,880
Yes.
202
00:10:51,450 --> 00:10:53,475
This little boy,
203
00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:55,487
Tommy Keegan.
204
00:10:55,521 --> 00:10:57,648
Do you remember him?
205
00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:03,462
For years after
he disappeared
206
00:11:03,496 --> 00:11:05,828
I was afraid to go outside
without my parents.
207
00:11:05,865 --> 00:11:09,801
Eight years old and still
holding a grown-up's hand.
208
00:11:13,906 --> 00:11:15,771
You okay?
209
00:11:15,808 --> 00:11:18,106
Yeah, I'm fine.
210
00:11:18,144 --> 00:11:20,977
Excuse me, I need
a glass of water.
211
00:11:26,352 --> 00:11:28,513
(glass breaks)
212
00:11:45,438 --> 00:11:47,599
The paramedic can
be here in a minute.
213
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,267
Honestly, no.
214
00:11:49,308 --> 00:11:51,401
Just looking at the picture
I felt sick,
215
00:11:51,444 --> 00:11:53,605
thinking how
Tommy died.
216
00:11:53,646 --> 00:11:57,104
Everybody assumed,
I mean...
217
00:11:57,149 --> 00:11:59,344
it was logical
he was murdered.
218
00:11:59,385 --> 00:12:01,615
Wasn't he?
219
00:12:03,589 --> 00:12:05,989
Why are you asking
about him now?
220
00:12:06,025 --> 00:12:08,050
We found his remains
in the basement
221
00:12:08,094 --> 00:12:09,789
of the building
you grew up in.
222
00:12:09,829 --> 00:12:11,990
Oh my God.
223
00:12:12,031 --> 00:12:14,898
Can you remember
anything about that day?
224
00:12:16,702 --> 00:12:19,170
The police talked to me
after he disappeared.
225
00:12:19,205 --> 00:12:21,639
We must have
played together.
226
00:12:21,674 --> 00:12:23,539
I'm sure I saw him, but...
227
00:12:25,611 --> 00:12:27,704
it's very long ago.
228
00:12:27,747 --> 00:12:30,648
Did you know the two men
who lived on the fourth floor?
229
00:12:30,683 --> 00:12:32,913
Their names were Dorfman
and Conover.
230
00:12:34,153 --> 00:12:36,383
I'm sorry.
231
00:12:38,157 --> 00:12:41,649
I think they gave
Tommy some books.
232
00:12:41,694 --> 00:12:43,753
Do you think your
parents might remember?
233
00:12:43,796 --> 00:12:45,627
They moved out of the city
to Harrison.
234
00:12:45,664 --> 00:12:47,723
They bought a house.
235
00:12:49,335 --> 00:12:51,496
In the basement?
236
00:12:51,537 --> 00:12:53,505
No wonder she fainted.
237
00:12:53,539 --> 00:12:56,372
Catherine:
Maybe we should call her.
238
00:12:57,443 --> 00:12:59,843
It was terrible.
239
00:12:59,879 --> 00:13:02,973
You realized it could
be your own child.
240
00:13:03,015 --> 00:13:05,279
Yes.
241
00:13:05,317 --> 00:13:08,445
- The couple upstairs?
- Thad: The Lawlers.
242
00:13:08,487 --> 00:13:10,421
Carl and...
243
00:13:10,456 --> 00:13:13,084
what was her name,
Julia, Jane?
244
00:13:13,125 --> 00:13:15,093
The other couple.
245
00:13:15,127 --> 00:13:18,255
Oh, in those days we didn't
call them a couple.
246
00:13:18,297 --> 00:13:21,095
We wouldn't want
to speak ill of them,
247
00:13:21,133 --> 00:13:22,930
the way they were, but...
248
00:13:22,968 --> 00:13:24,868
Tell them, Thad.
249
00:13:24,904 --> 00:13:27,771
Six months later,
the younger one...
250
00:13:27,807 --> 00:13:30,571
what was his name?
251
00:13:30,609 --> 00:13:33,271
Conover, Ed.
252
00:13:33,312 --> 00:13:36,975
Thad:
He worked for a youth group.
253
00:13:37,016 --> 00:13:39,075
Church on 93rd.
254
00:13:39,118 --> 00:13:41,313
St. Lucius.
255
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:47,353
We heard...
256
00:13:47,393 --> 00:13:49,953
he approached the boy.
257
00:13:49,995 --> 00:13:52,020
Man:
The boy who made the accusation,
258
00:13:52,064 --> 00:13:55,056
he was trouble.
I felt he was...
259
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:57,660
He had heard about
the other incidents,
260
00:13:57,703 --> 00:14:00,035
was wanting attention.
261
00:14:00,072 --> 00:14:02,540
So you think
Conover was innocent?
262
00:14:02,575 --> 00:14:04,702
In the case
of the missing boy?
263
00:14:04,743 --> 00:14:07,268
He was never charged...
264
00:14:07,313 --> 00:14:09,713
my understanding of the law,
that makes him innocent.
265
00:14:09,748 --> 00:14:13,775
Reverend, why don't you try
not to judge us, save us a little trouble?
266
00:14:13,819 --> 00:14:16,652
He was a good counselor
to those kids.
267
00:14:16,689 --> 00:14:19,624
But in most people's eyes,
a lot of them,
268
00:14:19,658 --> 00:14:21,216
he was automatically guilty.
269
00:14:21,260 --> 00:14:23,160
Are you still
in touch with him?
270
00:14:24,663 --> 00:14:28,622
30 years ago, suspicion almost
destroyed Conover's life.
271
00:14:28,667 --> 00:14:31,431
- Do you want to put
him through that again? - If he's guilty, yes.
272
00:14:31,470 --> 00:14:34,598
- If he's innocent?
- As you said, he survived it once.
273
00:14:35,774 --> 00:14:38,470
Three blocks away.
Carrington Nursing Home.
274
00:14:39,612 --> 00:14:42,410
But you did know
the Keegan kid?
275
00:14:42,448 --> 00:14:45,144
You think I don't know
what you're thinking?
276
00:14:45,184 --> 00:14:47,846
All gays molest kids.
277
00:14:47,887 --> 00:14:51,914
I think you will find that cops know most
child molesters are straight.
278
00:14:51,957 --> 00:14:53,754
So why don't you just
help us out here?
279
00:14:53,792 --> 00:14:55,885
I don't have to tell you
one damn thing.
280
00:14:55,928 --> 00:14:57,759
No, you don't,
but we could get a subpoena.
281
00:14:57,796 --> 00:15:00,094
And I get a lawyer.
282
00:15:00,132 --> 00:15:02,293
Let's talk
about the basement.
283
00:15:02,334 --> 00:15:03,961
You want the truth?
284
00:15:04,003 --> 00:15:06,471
Tommy...
285
00:15:06,505 --> 00:15:09,872
we took him down there,
tortured him, killed him.
286
00:15:09,909 --> 00:15:11,877
Used to do one a week.
287
00:15:11,911 --> 00:15:14,607
You're a laugh riot, Mr. Conover.
288
00:15:14,647 --> 00:15:16,638
You know what else
isn't funny?
289
00:15:16,682 --> 00:15:18,912
You. Go to hell!
290
00:15:23,222 --> 00:15:26,089
70? Last time we did
one that old,
291
00:15:26,125 --> 00:15:28,457
it was a Nazi for the INS.
292
00:15:28,494 --> 00:15:30,587
I'd say this one'd be
about as easy to convict.
293
00:15:30,629 --> 00:15:32,460
You got his name
on the ace of spades?
294
00:15:32,498 --> 00:15:35,126
He had access to the basement
and he knew the Keegan kid.
295
00:15:35,167 --> 00:15:36,794
I mentioned him
to Julie Atkinson,
296
00:15:36,835 --> 00:15:39,497
she got a funny look on her face.
She fogged all up.
297
00:15:39,538 --> 00:15:42,200
So? Are you saying
she knows he killed the kid
298
00:15:42,241 --> 00:15:43,799
but she's trying
to protect him? Why?
299
00:15:43,842 --> 00:15:45,742
How did Conover react?
300
00:15:45,778 --> 00:15:47,575
Logan:
He told us to go to hell.
301
00:15:47,613 --> 00:15:50,480
Well, at least he's
got a way with words. Ideas?
302
00:15:50,516 --> 00:15:52,347
Let's see what Atkinson
comes up with.
303
00:15:52,384 --> 00:15:53,715
Place him at the scene.
304
00:15:53,752 --> 00:15:56,880
Thanks.
305
00:15:56,922 --> 00:16:00,050
I don't understand.
The case must be closed by now.
306
00:16:00,092 --> 00:16:02,492
Well, there's no statute
of limitations on homicide.
307
00:16:02,528 --> 00:16:05,497
But you told me you didn't
know if it was murder.
308
00:16:05,531 --> 00:16:07,658
That's why we'd like you
to come down
309
00:16:07,700 --> 00:16:10,066
and spend a couple of hours
going over everything that happened.
310
00:16:10,102 --> 00:16:12,366
You know, a lead
can come from anywhere.
311
00:16:12,404 --> 00:16:14,964
I'm sorry.
312
00:16:15,007 --> 00:16:17,066
It's a busy time of year.
313
00:16:17,109 --> 00:16:18,974
Okay.
314
00:16:19,011 --> 00:16:21,502
Kid's been dead
for 30 years.
315
00:16:24,516 --> 00:16:26,484
One more abandoned case.
316
00:16:26,518 --> 00:16:29,487
Nobody really cares now
except the mother.
317
00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:33,524
Thanks anyway.
318
00:16:42,034 --> 00:16:44,969
Me? I can't contact her.
It's improper.
319
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,801
We pushed her.
It didn't work.
320
00:16:46,839 --> 00:16:48,534
It's not only improper,
it's ineffective.
321
00:16:48,574 --> 00:16:50,007
The woman
has to trust me.
322
00:16:50,042 --> 00:16:52,408
I'll tell you something,
if we don't get Conover,
323
00:16:52,444 --> 00:16:54,844
we can bury those bones
in the case along with it.
324
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,848
Logan,
woman asking for you.
325
00:17:01,687 --> 00:17:03,416
Hey.
326
00:17:06,058 --> 00:17:07,958
You said I could help.
327
00:17:07,993 --> 00:17:09,961
Yeah, listen,
328
00:17:09,995 --> 00:17:11,963
thanks for coming by.
329
00:17:11,997 --> 00:17:14,329
There's someone
I'd like you to meet.
330
00:17:18,737 --> 00:17:21,638
Miss Atkinson,
this is Dr. Olivet.
331
00:17:21,673 --> 00:17:24,870
She's a police
department psychiatrist.
332
00:17:24,910 --> 00:17:26,969
Hi.
333
00:17:28,814 --> 00:17:30,839
Hi.
334
00:17:31,283 --> 00:17:34,719
For the first hour she didn't remember
even seeing the boy.
335
00:17:34,753 --> 00:17:37,381
- Logan: What about Conover?
- Nothing.
336
00:17:37,423 --> 00:17:39,687
She has this
recurrent image...
337
00:17:39,725 --> 00:17:41,522
red and blue.
338
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,357
She came back
to it twice
339
00:17:43,395 --> 00:17:45,022
but she doesn't
know what it means.
340
00:17:45,064 --> 00:17:47,089
What was
the Keegan kid wearing?
341
00:17:48,233 --> 00:17:51,259
Green shirt, khakis,
black sneakers.
342
00:17:52,738 --> 00:17:54,296
How screwed up is she?
343
00:17:54,339 --> 00:17:56,170
I'd say severely.
344
00:17:56,208 --> 00:17:58,836
And she says
she never saw a shrink?
345
00:17:58,877 --> 00:18:01,971
She also says she's basically
a happy person.
346
00:18:02,014 --> 00:18:04,107
What about hypnosis?
347
00:18:04,149 --> 00:18:07,346
Unreliable and almost
impossible to get admitted in court.
348
00:18:07,386 --> 00:18:11,083
Well, not if she doesn't
implicate herself.
349
00:18:11,123 --> 00:18:14,354
If she gives us a lead
and we corroborate it, we don't need her in court.
350
00:18:14,393 --> 00:18:16,486
Yeah, but we put her under,
351
00:18:16,528 --> 00:18:18,496
and then we end up
needing her,
352
00:18:18,530 --> 00:18:20,657
we'll never get her
on the stand.
353
00:18:20,699 --> 00:18:22,997
- Is she coming back?
- We opened a vein.
354
00:18:23,035 --> 00:18:25,230
She might want to close it.
355
00:18:25,270 --> 00:18:27,738
Maybe, maybe, maybe.
356
00:18:27,773 --> 00:18:31,038
My feeling...
she wants to know.
357
00:18:31,076 --> 00:18:33,943
Any idea what this
red and blue is?
358
00:18:33,979 --> 00:18:35,879
Your guess is
as good as mine.
359
00:18:39,151 --> 00:18:42,052
Red and blue?
You're joking.
360
00:18:42,087 --> 00:18:44,885
In a murder investigation
I don't go for laughs.
361
00:18:44,923 --> 00:18:46,823
Well, it could be anything.
362
00:18:46,859 --> 00:18:49,987
Clothes, toys,
the American flag.
363
00:18:50,028 --> 00:18:51,928
The day the boy
was missing,
364
00:18:51,964 --> 00:18:54,831
do you remember
if anything...
365
00:18:54,867 --> 00:18:56,926
unusual happened to Julie?
366
00:18:56,969 --> 00:18:58,937
An ordinary night.
367
00:18:58,971 --> 00:19:00,700
I had a PTA meeting.
368
00:19:00,739 --> 00:19:03,003
I came home from work,
I put Julie to bed.
369
00:19:03,041 --> 00:19:04,668
She had a cold.
370
00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:07,611
If you could persuade her
to talk to us again...
371
00:19:07,646 --> 00:19:10,012
We...
372
00:19:10,048 --> 00:19:12,516
I don't know
if we could convince her.
373
00:19:12,551 --> 00:19:16,009
Our psychiatrist feels
that Julie may know something,
374
00:19:16,054 --> 00:19:17,453
though not consciously.
375
00:19:17,489 --> 00:19:20,219
We're not telling Julie
to do something
376
00:19:20,259 --> 00:19:22,727
she doesn't want to do.
377
00:19:22,761 --> 00:19:25,992
Dad says I had a cold,
I'm sure he's right.
378
00:19:26,031 --> 00:19:28,499
Beautiful plants, orchids.
379
00:19:28,534 --> 00:19:30,627
But they need a lot of care.
380
00:19:30,669 --> 00:19:33,069
Maybe you could
give us another hour?
381
00:19:33,105 --> 00:19:37,940
Detective, if you could say
an eight-year-old has a boyfriend,
382
00:19:37,976 --> 00:19:39,671
mine was Tommy.
But I can't help you.
383
00:19:39,711 --> 00:19:43,044
Julie, the red
and the blue you mentioned.
384
00:19:43,081 --> 00:19:46,573
You asked me to meet
with Dr. Olivet, I did.
385
00:19:46,618 --> 00:19:49,212
Mrs. Atkinson,
a little boy died.
386
00:19:49,254 --> 00:19:50,812
30 years ago.
387
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:52,448
That's right.
388
00:19:52,491 --> 00:19:54,425
But what if it
had been yesterday?
389
00:19:54,459 --> 00:19:57,986
Will you do us a favor?
Will you try again?
390
00:19:58,030 --> 00:20:00,260
Just one more shot.
391
00:20:03,135 --> 00:20:06,036
Olivet:
Did you come here with Tommy the day he disappeared?
392
00:20:06,071 --> 00:20:09,370
On the way
home from school.
393
00:20:09,408 --> 00:20:11,342
And then
you started walking?
394
00:20:12,544 --> 00:20:14,171
I hid the candy...
395
00:20:14,213 --> 00:20:18,149
because Daddy didn't like me
to eat them before dinner.
396
00:20:18,183 --> 00:20:20,651
And Tommy
had a baseball.
397
00:20:20,686 --> 00:20:22,517
No, a football.
398
00:20:22,554 --> 00:20:25,216
And he kept
throwing it to Ed.
399
00:20:25,257 --> 00:20:27,191
Conover was with you?
400
00:20:27,226 --> 00:20:29,854
No. He was just
sitting on the stoop
401
00:20:29,895 --> 00:20:32,762
when we got to the house.
I hated that.
402
00:20:32,798 --> 00:20:35,596
What did you hate?
403
00:20:35,634 --> 00:20:37,568
When he'd sit
on the stoop.
404
00:20:37,603 --> 00:20:39,503
I'd always have
to walk around him.
405
00:20:39,538 --> 00:20:41,802
Did he say anything?
406
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,536
No, he just...
407
00:20:44,576 --> 00:20:46,567
I don't know.
408
00:20:46,612 --> 00:20:48,443
It made me
feel creepy
409
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,641
and uncomfortable.
410
00:20:50,682 --> 00:20:52,912
And then what happened?
411
00:20:52,951 --> 00:20:54,509
We went into the house.
412
00:20:59,491 --> 00:21:03,120
My room was
right over here.
413
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,833
My toy chest was
always by the door.
414
00:21:10,869 --> 00:21:14,532
Do you remember
having dinner that night?
415
00:21:16,008 --> 00:21:18,602
My mom probably
left something.
416
00:21:18,644 --> 00:21:20,236
She always did
when she wasn't home.
417
00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:22,747
And then you got sick
418
00:21:22,781 --> 00:21:24,646
and you went to bed?
419
00:21:24,683 --> 00:21:28,983
My pajamas were always hanging
on the back of the door.
420
00:21:30,389 --> 00:21:33,381
I had to go
to the bathroom.
421
00:21:33,425 --> 00:21:37,020
I wanted to brush my teeth.
422
00:21:38,263 --> 00:21:40,128
Yeah, the bathroom...
423
00:21:40,165 --> 00:21:42,725
was right down here.
424
00:21:52,477 --> 00:21:54,411
Oh...
425
00:21:54,446 --> 00:21:56,846
no.
426
00:21:56,882 --> 00:21:59,214
(sobs)
Oh my God.
427
00:21:59,251 --> 00:22:01,412
What is it, Julie?
428
00:22:01,453 --> 00:22:04,251
Oh, oh!
429
00:22:04,289 --> 00:22:06,780
The blue and the red.
430
00:22:06,825 --> 00:22:09,123
What's blue and red?
431
00:22:09,161 --> 00:22:11,220
The sweater.
432
00:22:11,263 --> 00:22:13,197
What sweater?
433
00:22:13,231 --> 00:22:16,029
Daddy's sweater.
434
00:22:16,068 --> 00:22:19,595
He's washing it out
here in the tub
435
00:22:19,638 --> 00:22:23,369
and it's all covered
436
00:22:23,408 --> 00:22:25,535
with blood.
437
00:22:25,577 --> 00:22:28,137
(sobs)
438
00:22:33,085 --> 00:22:36,680
A daughter, some bones
in a basement, and that's it?
439
00:22:36,722 --> 00:22:38,451
I'll bet anything
Dad's a kinko.
440
00:22:38,490 --> 00:22:40,390
And no record.
441
00:22:40,425 --> 00:22:42,416
The shrink believes
the daughter.
442
00:22:42,461 --> 00:22:45,487
Indict him, maybe he wets his pants
and confesses.
443
00:22:45,530 --> 00:22:48,727
And maybe he hits the city
with a false arrest charge,
444
00:22:48,767 --> 00:22:51,099
and the Attorney General
has to settle with him.
445
00:22:51,136 --> 00:22:53,696
I'm Messimer.
I got a 65-year-old wife,
446
00:22:53,739 --> 00:22:55,730
a daughter who's not
talking to me,
447
00:22:55,774 --> 00:22:58,265
and I'm possibly facing
25 years-to-life. What do I do?
448
00:22:58,310 --> 00:23:02,906
You go to Costa Rica
and you drink pina coladas with 20-year-old bimbos.
449
00:23:02,948 --> 00:23:05,746
Pick him up.
Take his passport.
450
00:23:09,988 --> 00:23:11,819
I want to talk with Olivet.
451
00:23:14,126 --> 00:23:16,788
I'm not saying she's
a picture of mental health.
452
00:23:16,828 --> 00:23:18,762
She's not committable?
453
00:23:18,797 --> 00:23:20,856
From what I can tell,
454
00:23:20,899 --> 00:23:24,630
this father jerked this woman
around like a yo-yo,
455
00:23:24,669 --> 00:23:27,604
bartered affection,
controlled her like a robot.
456
00:23:27,639 --> 00:23:29,470
But she's functional.
457
00:23:30,642 --> 00:23:32,337
Building a case on her,
458
00:23:32,377 --> 00:23:34,845
it's a thin tightrope, no net.
459
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,280
I've been wrong...
not this time.
460
00:23:38,984 --> 00:23:41,646
- You want to take a pass on this?
- Not if he did it.
461
00:23:41,686 --> 00:23:43,483
She's telling the truth.
462
00:23:43,522 --> 00:23:46,355
And as a witness?
463
00:23:46,391 --> 00:23:48,359
The jury might not
believe her.
464
00:23:48,393 --> 00:23:50,224
What are we
talking about?
465
00:23:50,262 --> 00:23:52,127
She'll fall apart
on the stand?
466
00:23:52,164 --> 00:23:54,894
Anything's possible.
467
00:23:54,933 --> 00:23:57,367
Stone:
We're just trying to make you understand
468
00:23:57,402 --> 00:23:58,960
that being a witness
won't be easy.
469
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,234
Being me isn't easy,
witness or otherwise.
470
00:24:01,273 --> 00:24:02,900
Please, Mrs. Atkinson,
471
00:24:02,941 --> 00:24:04,932
pretend you're the jury.
472
00:24:04,976 --> 00:24:07,968
What do you see?
A child attacking her parents.
473
00:24:11,550 --> 00:24:14,542
Robinette:
How long have you been estranged from them?
474
00:24:14,586 --> 00:24:16,577
When I was 28,
475
00:24:16,621 --> 00:24:18,486
I moved to Chicago.
476
00:24:18,523 --> 00:24:20,514
I got married,
I got divorced.
477
00:24:20,559 --> 00:24:22,754
I came home,
my father said, "I told you so."
478
00:24:22,794 --> 00:24:24,887
Then I moved
to San Francisco.
479
00:24:24,930 --> 00:24:27,922
I got married, I got divorced,
and I came home.
480
00:24:27,966 --> 00:24:30,935
My father said, "When are you going
to learn to listen to me?"
481
00:24:30,969 --> 00:24:32,960
Two years ago,
482
00:24:33,004 --> 00:24:35,234
the last time
I came home,
483
00:24:35,273 --> 00:24:37,400
I stopped
talking to my father.
484
00:24:37,442 --> 00:24:39,637
I didn't know why then.
485
00:24:39,678 --> 00:24:42,875
Now I'm beginning
to understand it all.
486
00:24:42,914 --> 00:24:45,280
My concern is not
only for you.
487
00:24:45,317 --> 00:24:48,081
We prosecute your father,
it falls apart,
488
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,916
we look irresponsible.
489
00:24:49,955 --> 00:24:52,150
I told you I'll testify.
490
00:24:52,190 --> 00:24:55,591
You're going to be portrayed
in the media and the courtroom
491
00:24:55,627 --> 00:24:58,653
as an unhappy, overwrought,
vindictive daughter.
492
00:24:58,697 --> 00:25:01,894
Maybe I'm not the happiest
person in the world.
493
00:25:01,933 --> 00:25:04,265
Maybe I won't be.
494
00:25:06,204 --> 00:25:09,037
But I'll survive.
495
00:25:17,616 --> 00:25:20,107
She imagined this,
Mr. Stone.
496
00:25:20,151 --> 00:25:22,312
We have an obligation
to investigate.
497
00:25:22,354 --> 00:25:24,481
At the expense
of my client's reputation?
498
00:25:24,523 --> 00:25:26,718
This man has led
an exemplary life.
499
00:25:26,758 --> 00:25:29,488
Or he hasn't,
and nobody caught him.
500
00:25:31,129 --> 00:25:34,121
You can't believe I killed
an eight-year-old child.
501
00:25:34,165 --> 00:25:36,099
We do love
our daughter,
502
00:25:36,134 --> 00:25:38,932
but Julie's
had difficulties.
503
00:25:38,970 --> 00:25:40,961
Lawyer:
This gets out of hand,
504
00:25:41,006 --> 00:25:43,304
you're risking a suit
for malicious prosecution.
505
00:25:43,341 --> 00:25:45,741
If we feel we have a case,
we have to take the risk.
506
00:25:45,777 --> 00:25:47,938
What about
the risk to Julie?
507
00:25:47,979 --> 00:25:49,742
What's happening here
508
00:25:49,781 --> 00:25:51,408
is an abuse of the system,
509
00:25:51,449 --> 00:25:53,178
an abuse of your office,
510
00:25:53,218 --> 00:25:55,550
and an abuse of my daughter.
511
00:25:55,587 --> 00:25:58,317
And an abuse of a child,
Tommy Keegan.
512
00:25:58,356 --> 00:26:00,756
Thad.
513
00:26:00,792 --> 00:26:03,260
If I read about this
in the papers,
514
00:26:03,295 --> 00:26:04,853
if you try to smear me...
515
00:26:06,197 --> 00:26:07,994
Catherine.
516
00:26:15,373 --> 00:26:17,398
Try to keep
it out of the papers.
517
00:26:17,442 --> 00:26:20,343
A civil suit could be
very messy in an election year.
518
00:26:23,982 --> 00:26:25,745
What have you got?
519
00:26:25,784 --> 00:26:28,344
Genuine Life and Casualty.
520
00:26:28,386 --> 00:26:30,980
He got fired,
they won't discuss it.
521
00:26:31,022 --> 00:26:34,480
I'll have Adam
talk with them.
522
00:26:34,526 --> 00:26:36,494
Are you doubting
he killed the kid?
523
00:26:38,697 --> 00:26:41,257
If I did, I'm doubting a lot less.
524
00:26:43,401 --> 00:26:45,995
Robinette:
Vice president back then?
525
00:26:46,037 --> 00:26:48,437
You must have been
pretty young.
526
00:26:48,473 --> 00:26:51,237
How well did you
know Messimer?
527
00:26:51,276 --> 00:26:53,676
You understand
this is off the record?
528
00:26:53,712 --> 00:26:56,340
Subpoena me,
I won't repeat it under oath.
529
00:26:56,381 --> 00:26:57,939
I don't want to be sued.
530
00:26:57,983 --> 00:26:59,951
Messimer.
531
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:02,783
Not a water cooler man.
532
00:27:02,821 --> 00:27:04,584
Kept to himself.
533
00:27:04,623 --> 00:27:06,488
But you fired him
personally?
534
00:27:08,093 --> 00:27:11,119
A couple of meetings,
major clients, you couldn't see it,
535
00:27:11,162 --> 00:27:14,495
but let's just say the mints didn't
cover the smell.
536
00:27:14,532 --> 00:27:16,591
He kept getting jobs.
537
00:27:16,635 --> 00:27:19,103
Some men drown in booze,
538
00:27:19,137 --> 00:27:21,002
some swim in it.
539
00:27:21,039 --> 00:27:23,166
Who knew him well?
540
00:27:23,208 --> 00:27:26,109
He had a buddy...
Gil Lindon.
541
00:27:26,144 --> 00:27:28,510
Fired him, too.
542
00:27:28,546 --> 00:27:31,174
They never said fired.
543
00:27:31,216 --> 00:27:33,150
Not to your face, no.
544
00:27:33,184 --> 00:27:35,584
They called it
"mutual termination."
545
00:27:35,620 --> 00:27:37,815
Tell me,
546
00:27:37,856 --> 00:27:39,687
is Messimer
in trouble, huh?
547
00:27:39,724 --> 00:27:42,693
Was his a mutual
termination, too?
548
00:27:42,727 --> 00:27:46,185
That man could sell
fire insurance to Eskimos,
549
00:27:46,231 --> 00:27:48,199
even putting away
three or four at lunch.
550
00:27:48,233 --> 00:27:50,360
He have any other problems?
551
00:27:50,402 --> 00:27:51,994
What do they say?
552
00:27:52,037 --> 00:27:54,005
Too late we grow smart.
553
00:27:54,039 --> 00:27:56,269
We drank.
554
00:27:56,307 --> 00:28:00,038
I took the 12 steps out of the bar. It's history.
555
00:28:00,078 --> 00:28:02,069
Grow smart now, Mr. Lindon.
556
00:28:04,816 --> 00:28:06,750
Tell me something,
557
00:28:06,785 --> 00:28:10,152
what did Messimer do?
Kids?
558
00:28:13,258 --> 00:28:16,659
You know, right before
we were "mutually terminated,"
559
00:28:16,695 --> 00:28:19,163
we were coming back
from a client.
560
00:28:19,197 --> 00:28:21,222
Train station, Stanford.
561
00:28:21,266 --> 00:28:24,030
Thad goes into the can,
doesn't come back.
562
00:28:24,069 --> 00:28:26,799
I go in after him,
there's a cop in there.
563
00:28:26,838 --> 00:28:30,069
Some kid, 14, 15,
564
00:28:30,108 --> 00:28:34,340
says Messimer
made a pass.
565
00:28:35,380 --> 00:28:38,645
That gives you motive.
He molested Tommy, then killed him.
566
00:28:38,683 --> 00:28:40,674
The Connecticut records
still there?
567
00:28:40,719 --> 00:28:42,710
Sealed.
Get it unsealed.
568
00:28:42,754 --> 00:28:44,722
Charges were dropped.
569
00:28:44,756 --> 00:28:46,280
I sent up
a "show cause" order.
570
00:28:46,324 --> 00:28:48,690
Boy's name,
Joseph Kelly.
571
00:28:48,727 --> 00:28:50,922
He's an administrator
at Mercy Hospital.
572
00:28:50,962 --> 00:28:53,226
Go see him.
573
00:28:53,264 --> 00:28:55,698
It wasn't just him,
574
00:28:55,734 --> 00:28:57,725
I must have
given him the eye.
575
00:28:57,769 --> 00:28:59,669
I probably wanted him
to come onto me.
576
00:28:59,704 --> 00:29:01,934
The case never
went to trail.
577
00:29:01,973 --> 00:29:04,567
My parents suspected I was gay.
578
00:29:04,609 --> 00:29:06,941
It comes out I'm hanging around
the station...
579
00:29:06,978 --> 00:29:08,570
the neighbors hear about it, well...
580
00:29:08,613 --> 00:29:11,343
So they said
you wouldn't testify?
581
00:29:11,382 --> 00:29:13,543
When I was in my 20s,
I went to a shrink.
582
00:29:13,585 --> 00:29:17,112
He said guys like that,
it's not about sex.
583
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:19,089
It's about power.
584
00:29:19,124 --> 00:29:21,957
Lots of them don't even
care if it's boys or girls,
585
00:29:21,993 --> 00:29:24,120
just somebody
they could control.
586
00:29:24,162 --> 00:29:26,995
Mr. Kelly,
587
00:29:27,031 --> 00:29:28,965
do you remember exactly
what Messimer did?
588
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,332
Offered me 20 bucks.
589
00:29:31,369 --> 00:29:33,064
I almost said yes.
590
00:29:33,104 --> 00:29:36,369
Something in his eyes,
591
00:29:36,407 --> 00:29:38,534
even a kid can tell.
592
00:29:38,576 --> 00:29:40,669
When I turned him down
593
00:29:40,712 --> 00:29:42,577
he got real upset.
594
00:29:42,614 --> 00:29:45,515
Grabbed my arm,
said 50 bucks.
595
00:29:45,550 --> 00:29:49,247
The more I said no,
the crazier he looked.
596
00:29:49,287 --> 00:29:51,915
Yes, well,
that's all very interesting,
597
00:29:51,956 --> 00:29:53,651
and useless at trial.
598
00:29:53,691 --> 00:29:55,591
Messimer wasn't
convicted of anything.
599
00:29:55,627 --> 00:29:58,960
- I'll bring it in somehow.
- What, pattern crime?
600
00:29:58,997 --> 00:30:00,726
It's not even close.
601
00:30:00,765 --> 00:30:02,426
Even if he
had been convicted,
602
00:30:02,467 --> 00:30:04,401
this isn't Palm Beach.
603
00:30:04,435 --> 00:30:06,335
You can't use
previous history.
604
00:30:06,371 --> 00:30:08,566
And without it,
you can't prove motive.
605
00:30:08,606 --> 00:30:10,870
They've got to open
the character issue,
606
00:30:10,909 --> 00:30:12,376
then we can bring in Kelly.
607
00:30:12,410 --> 00:30:15,402
Messimer's reputation
as a totally respectable citizen
608
00:30:15,446 --> 00:30:17,175
is their only card.
609
00:30:17,215 --> 00:30:19,683
What's the operating
principle here?
610
00:30:19,717 --> 00:30:23,483
Doug Greer is a fool?
Messimer is stupid?
611
00:30:23,521 --> 00:30:25,250
Guaranteed he told
Doug about this.
612
00:30:25,290 --> 00:30:27,656
They're not going to bring in
any character witnesses?
613
00:30:27,692 --> 00:30:29,421
Schiff:
He won't defend himself.
614
00:30:29,460 --> 00:30:31,860
20-to-one he never
tries to make a case.
615
00:30:33,298 --> 00:30:36,426
How many times he did it
we'll never know about.
616
00:30:36,467 --> 00:30:39,459
Maybe you molest once
and never again,
617
00:30:39,504 --> 00:30:42,337
but twice, it's a compulsion.
We've got to nail him.
618
00:30:42,373 --> 00:30:44,466
(phone buzzes)
619
00:30:44,509 --> 00:30:47,069
Let me have that, will you?
620
00:30:47,111 --> 00:30:50,012
Thanks.
Yeah?
621
00:30:50,048 --> 00:30:53,142
Hmmm.
622
00:30:53,184 --> 00:30:56,244
Yes.
623
00:30:56,287 --> 00:30:58,346
It's Olivet.
624
00:30:58,389 --> 00:31:01,449
Mother got to Julie.
She doesn't want to testify.
625
00:31:04,596 --> 00:31:06,120
(heavy sigh)
Oh, man.
626
00:31:09,834 --> 00:31:12,166
Liz, can you
bring her in?
627
00:31:14,906 --> 00:31:16,897
Okay, two hours.
628
00:31:16,941 --> 00:31:19,671
I know what I told you.
I made a mistake.
629
00:31:21,112 --> 00:31:23,376
And what did
your mother say?
630
00:31:23,414 --> 00:31:26,008
My memories
must be mixed up.
631
00:31:26,050 --> 00:31:30,680
She says my father loves me
and can't believe I'm doing this to him.
632
00:31:30,722 --> 00:31:32,713
(knocking)
633
00:31:38,162 --> 00:31:40,756
Stone:
You two may remember each other.
634
00:31:44,369 --> 00:31:46,303
Mrs. Keegan.
635
00:31:46,337 --> 00:31:49,101
You look wonderful, Julie.
636
00:31:52,577 --> 00:31:54,067
Mrs. Keegan, l...
637
00:31:54,112 --> 00:31:56,239
I need your help.
638
00:31:56,281 --> 00:31:58,715
I can't.
639
00:31:58,750 --> 00:32:00,741
He killed Tommy.
640
00:32:00,785 --> 00:32:03,151
Olivet:
Julie, your father can't hurt you anymore.
641
00:32:03,187 --> 00:32:06,850
The only power he has over you
is the power you give him.
642
00:32:06,891 --> 00:32:09,052
Please.
643
00:32:17,168 --> 00:32:19,432
Docket number 45721,
644
00:32:19,470 --> 00:32:21,370
the People versus
Thaddeus Messimer.
645
00:32:21,406 --> 00:32:23,397
The charge is murder
in the second degree.
646
00:32:23,441 --> 00:32:26,205
Is the defendant ready
to enter a plea?
647
00:32:26,244 --> 00:32:28,212
Not guilty.
648
00:32:28,246 --> 00:32:29,941
Judge:
Mr. Robinette?
649
00:32:29,981 --> 00:32:33,178
Your Honor, the defendant's
economic situation
650
00:32:33,217 --> 00:32:35,185
allows for the real
possibility of flight.
651
00:32:35,219 --> 00:32:38,017
The People request
$500,000 bail
652
00:32:38,056 --> 00:32:40,957
and that the defendant
surrender his passport.
653
00:32:40,992 --> 00:32:43,586
Your Honor, the prosecutor's
information is so...
654
00:32:43,628 --> 00:32:45,687
shall we say perfunctory,
655
00:32:45,730 --> 00:32:47,425
the People's request
seems extreme.
656
00:32:47,465 --> 00:32:52,232
Mr. Greer, your client will surrender his
passport to the clerk.
657
00:32:52,270 --> 00:32:55,000
Your Honor,
we have no objection. But in that case, bail...
658
00:32:55,039 --> 00:32:57,701
$300,000,
half in cash,
659
00:32:57,742 --> 00:33:00,506
half secured bond.
Next.
660
00:33:00,545 --> 00:33:02,410
This has gone too far.
661
00:33:02,447 --> 00:33:04,278
The case is
preposterous, Ben.
662
00:33:04,315 --> 00:33:06,374
Anybody could have
broken into that house.
663
00:33:06,417 --> 00:33:09,580
Wait a minute,
you kill a child,
664
00:33:09,620 --> 00:33:12,612
drag him to a stranger's house,
stick him in a wall?
665
00:33:12,657 --> 00:33:14,682
I'm filing a motion
for dismissal.
666
00:33:14,726 --> 00:33:16,660
We're presenting
to the grand jury.
667
00:33:16,694 --> 00:33:17,991
I'll file to quash.
668
00:33:18,029 --> 00:33:20,793
My daughter...
669
00:33:20,832 --> 00:33:22,800
is a lovely,
sweet woman
670
00:33:22,834 --> 00:33:26,736
who is very disturbed.
Don't make her worse.
671
00:33:26,771 --> 00:33:29,604
Stop manipulating her,
maybe she'll feel better.
672
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,733
And disturbed or not,
a jury will believe her.
673
00:33:31,776 --> 00:33:33,937
Do you know what a trial
does to this man's life?
674
00:33:33,978 --> 00:33:35,741
Spare him the horror.
675
00:33:35,780 --> 00:33:38,010
Manslaughter one,
eight and a third-to-25.
676
00:33:38,049 --> 00:33:39,277
You can't be serious.
677
00:33:39,317 --> 00:33:41,251
A 30-year-old crime,
678
00:33:41,285 --> 00:33:43,719
and a case that doesn't
dignify the word evidence?
679
00:33:43,755 --> 00:33:46,121
Doug, there is nothing
dignified about this case.
680
00:33:46,157 --> 00:33:48,990
Not the evidence, not the crime,
not the defendant.
681
00:33:53,331 --> 00:33:56,528
Your key witness...
I wouldn't count on her.
682
00:33:56,567 --> 00:33:58,967
You know where she took her
summer vacation last year?
683
00:33:59,003 --> 00:34:01,665
Bellevue...
the psychiatric ward.
684
00:34:06,344 --> 00:34:09,404
Every word,
your memories,
685
00:34:09,447 --> 00:34:11,381
your attitude toward
your parents...
686
00:34:11,416 --> 00:34:13,384
all of it comes into question.
687
00:34:13,418 --> 00:34:16,854
I'm sorry.
A psychiatric ward is embarrassing.
688
00:34:16,888 --> 00:34:19,823
A trial can be embarrassing.
Not just to your father, to you.
689
00:34:19,857 --> 00:34:21,848
I can handle it.
690
00:34:21,893 --> 00:34:25,090
It was a transient episode.
She was there three weeks.
691
00:34:25,129 --> 00:34:27,563
The jury hears words
like paranoia,
692
00:34:27,598 --> 00:34:29,793
suicidal depression...
693
00:34:29,834 --> 00:34:32,325
they are there
to be judgmental.
694
00:34:32,370 --> 00:34:34,998
My breakdown helped me.
695
00:34:35,039 --> 00:34:38,236
Everything I kept inside
started to come out.
696
00:34:38,276 --> 00:34:41,211
Julie, if there is anything
else he should know...
697
00:34:41,245 --> 00:34:43,406
And for your sake.
698
00:34:43,448 --> 00:34:46,008
My father's on trial,
not me.
699
00:34:46,050 --> 00:34:48,211
The credibility
of your testimony
700
00:34:48,252 --> 00:34:50,447
is what is on trial.
701
00:34:50,488 --> 00:34:53,651
All my secrets
are out, Mr. Stone.
702
00:34:53,691 --> 00:34:55,921
And my parents', too.
703
00:35:02,733 --> 00:35:06,032
The skull had a lateral unaligned fracture
12 centimeters long.
704
00:35:06,070 --> 00:35:08,834
Could that have been caused
by a fall... an accident?
705
00:35:08,873 --> 00:35:11,933
No, the skull was hit
directly by a heavy object.
706
00:35:11,976 --> 00:35:14,206
Thank you.
Your witness.
707
00:35:14,245 --> 00:35:16,372
Mr. Huston, if a boy
crawled inside a wall,
708
00:35:16,414 --> 00:35:17,972
and an ordinary red brick
709
00:35:18,015 --> 00:35:20,643
like the ones found
near the bones you examined...
710
00:35:20,685 --> 00:35:22,312
if a brick fell eight or 10 feet,
711
00:35:22,353 --> 00:35:24,548
could it leave a fracture
like you described?
712
00:35:24,589 --> 00:35:27,023
- It's possible...
- Thank you, no further questions.
713
00:35:27,058 --> 00:35:28,616
Possible,
but extremely unlikely.
714
00:35:28,659 --> 00:35:30,490
No further questions.
715
00:35:31,863 --> 00:35:35,492
Keegan:
He never really had much of a father.
716
00:35:35,533 --> 00:35:38,934
Tommy was only four
when my husband died.
717
00:35:38,970 --> 00:35:42,997
Did your son have a relationship
with the defendant?
718
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,634
I worried about the lack
719
00:35:45,676 --> 00:35:47,803
of a father figure
for Tommy,
720
00:35:47,845 --> 00:35:50,507
so I was happy
721
00:35:50,548 --> 00:35:52,914
to see Thad
befriend Tommy.
722
00:35:54,519 --> 00:35:57,044
What did you
personally witness
723
00:35:57,088 --> 00:35:59,386
of your son's relationship
with the defendant?
724
00:36:00,391 --> 00:36:04,327
Thad would...
tap him on the head
725
00:36:04,362 --> 00:36:06,796
and tell him he was
big and strong,
726
00:36:06,831 --> 00:36:08,890
grow up to be
a football player.
727
00:36:08,933 --> 00:36:11,697
He took him
to a Giants game once
728
00:36:11,736 --> 00:36:13,260
with his daughter.
729
00:36:13,304 --> 00:36:15,670
Tommy came home
730
00:36:15,706 --> 00:36:17,833
with one of the player's
autographs.
731
00:36:17,875 --> 00:36:20,002
Thank you.
No further questions.
732
00:36:22,213 --> 00:36:24,875
Mrs. Keegan,
733
00:36:24,916 --> 00:36:26,679
did you tell the police
734
00:36:26,717 --> 00:36:29,811
about Mr. Messimer's
relationship with your son?
735
00:36:29,854 --> 00:36:32,584
No. Why?
736
00:36:32,623 --> 00:36:35,091
It didn't seem
unusual to you?
737
00:36:35,126 --> 00:36:37,560
No.
738
00:36:37,595 --> 00:36:40,189
What made you
change your mind?
739
00:36:40,231 --> 00:36:42,529
Well...
740
00:36:42,567 --> 00:36:45,092
nothing made me
change my mind.
741
00:36:45,136 --> 00:36:49,436
Did Tommy ever complain
to you after he spent time with Mr. Messimer?
742
00:36:49,473 --> 00:36:51,998
Did he seem troubled?
Moody?
743
00:36:52,043 --> 00:36:53,442
No.
744
00:36:53,477 --> 00:36:55,604
Did you have a close
relationship with your son?
745
00:36:55,646 --> 00:36:57,841
Did he confide in you?
746
00:36:57,882 --> 00:37:00,248
As much as children do.
747
00:37:00,284 --> 00:37:02,149
Thank you,
no further questions.
748
00:37:02,186 --> 00:37:03,744
No, wait!
749
00:37:03,788 --> 00:37:05,653
You're trying
to make this seem as... as...
750
00:37:05,690 --> 00:37:07,089
Your Honor.
751
00:37:07,124 --> 00:37:08,523
The witness is excused.
752
00:37:08,559 --> 00:37:11,460
But I trusted Thad.
I had no idea...
753
00:37:11,495 --> 00:37:15,056
Mrs. Keegan, please,
step down.
754
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,168
Repression is
a well-understood
755
00:37:18,202 --> 00:37:20,193
psychological mechanism.
756
00:37:20,238 --> 00:37:22,172
Memories too painful
to bear
757
00:37:22,206 --> 00:37:24,174
are excluded
from conscious awareness.
758
00:37:24,208 --> 00:37:26,608
Can you explain
the appearance of memories
759
00:37:26,644 --> 00:37:29,169
after being repressed
for so many years?
760
00:37:29,213 --> 00:37:31,374
As a person grows up
761
00:37:31,415 --> 00:37:34,543
and is psychologically capable
of coping with a painful event,
762
00:37:34,585 --> 00:37:36,780
the memories break through.
763
00:37:36,821 --> 00:37:38,789
Thank you.
No further questions.
764
00:37:39,957 --> 00:37:42,551
Dr. Olivet,
765
00:37:42,593 --> 00:37:45,426
don't we often think we remember
things that never happened?
766
00:37:45,463 --> 00:37:47,260
Sometimes.
767
00:37:47,298 --> 00:37:49,858
But repressed memories
of traumatic events
768
00:37:49,900 --> 00:37:51,458
are usually accurate.
769
00:37:51,502 --> 00:37:53,402
Are you familiar
with the work
770
00:37:53,437 --> 00:37:56,964
of a psychiatrist named
Abraham Trigonis?
771
00:37:57,008 --> 00:37:58,999
Yes.
772
00:37:59,043 --> 00:38:02,877
Tell the court Dr. Trigonis's theory
of childhood memories.
773
00:38:02,913 --> 00:38:05,245
Dr. Trigonis believes
774
00:38:05,283 --> 00:38:07,547
that many adult
memories of childhood
775
00:38:07,585 --> 00:38:11,612
are to some extent an amalgam
of fantasy and wish fulfillment.
776
00:38:11,656 --> 00:38:14,557
And yet you just said adult memories
of childhood are accurate.
777
00:38:14,592 --> 00:38:16,958
What I said was
repressed memories
778
00:38:16,994 --> 00:38:18,985
of traumatic events
are accurate,
779
00:38:19,030 --> 00:38:21,828
especially when remembering
brings on a new trauma.
780
00:38:21,866 --> 00:38:24,733
Repressed memories?
Adult memories?
781
00:38:24,769 --> 00:38:27,431
It's certainly
confusing and abstract to me.
782
00:38:27,471 --> 00:38:30,338
No further questions.
783
00:38:30,374 --> 00:38:31,932
Thad:
This is blackmail.
784
00:38:31,976 --> 00:38:33,944
No, this is
your meeting.
785
00:38:33,978 --> 00:38:35,843
Spare his daughter
further suffering,
786
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:39,816
Mr. Messimer will consider
a plea with the record sealed.
787
00:38:39,850 --> 00:38:43,183
I'm sure Mr. Messimer knows
all about sealed records.
788
00:38:43,220 --> 00:38:46,621
Don't force this, Ben.
I'll demolish that woman on the stand.
789
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,454
Oh, I get it.
790
00:38:48,492 --> 00:38:50,323
He cares about her,
but you'll demolish her.
791
00:38:50,361 --> 00:38:53,228
Criminally negligent homicide.
He does no time.
792
00:38:53,264 --> 00:38:55,232
No time for killing a child?
793
00:38:55,266 --> 00:38:58,064
Who's blackmailing whom?
794
00:38:58,102 --> 00:39:01,094
Manslaughter one,
same offer.
795
00:39:01,138 --> 00:39:03,606
I love my daughter,
796
00:39:03,641 --> 00:39:06,405
but I'm not going to prison
797
00:39:06,444 --> 00:39:09,004
for a crime
I didn't commit.
798
00:39:11,048 --> 00:39:13,380
Olivet:
She'll be here, relax.
799
00:39:13,417 --> 00:39:16,443
She falls apart
on the stand, she'll blow us right out of the water.
800
00:39:16,487 --> 00:39:19,047
What do you think
she does to herself?
801
00:39:19,090 --> 00:39:22,457
Her breakdown was what...
a year ago?
802
00:39:22,493 --> 00:39:24,859
Let's just hope
this doesn't give her another one.
803
00:39:24,895 --> 00:39:26,829
(bell dings)
804
00:39:32,870 --> 00:39:34,565
Are you okay?
805
00:39:34,605 --> 00:39:37,870
My father was waiting for me
last night in front of my building.
806
00:39:37,908 --> 00:39:40,172
He begged me
not to say anything.
807
00:39:40,211 --> 00:39:42,270
He told me it would
be better for me.
808
00:39:42,313 --> 00:39:44,747
Not him, me.
809
00:39:44,782 --> 00:39:46,716
All those years...
810
00:39:46,751 --> 00:39:49,879
and I wondered
what was wrong with me.
811
00:39:52,390 --> 00:39:54,358
I'll be okay.
812
00:39:59,330 --> 00:40:03,096
Stone:
And why did you seek psychiatric help?
813
00:40:03,134 --> 00:40:06,194
I was depressed.
I had thoughts of suicide.
814
00:40:06,237 --> 00:40:09,729
Were you ever hospitalized
for emotional problems?
815
00:40:09,774 --> 00:40:12,208
About a year ago
for three weeks.
816
00:40:12,243 --> 00:40:14,370
I suffered
from paranoid delusions.
817
00:40:14,412 --> 00:40:15,845
Do you still
suffer from them?
818
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,711
No.
819
00:40:17,748 --> 00:40:19,773
Uh, Mrs. Atkinson,
820
00:40:19,817 --> 00:40:21,808
please tell us
what happened
821
00:40:21,852 --> 00:40:24,548
the day Tommy Keegan
disappeared.
822
00:40:26,891 --> 00:40:29,359
Tommy and I left
school together
823
00:40:29,393 --> 00:40:31,293
and stopped
at a corner candy store,
824
00:40:31,328 --> 00:40:33,319
and then we started home.
825
00:40:33,364 --> 00:40:35,059
Mom was at work
826
00:40:35,099 --> 00:40:37,693
and my dad was waiting
at the front door.
827
00:40:37,735 --> 00:40:40,135
And what else
do you recall?
828
00:40:40,171 --> 00:40:42,537
I didn't feel very well,
829
00:40:42,573 --> 00:40:44,097
so I went to bed early.
830
00:40:44,141 --> 00:40:46,871
My dad brought me
some warm milk
831
00:40:46,911 --> 00:40:48,811
and I fell asleep.
832
00:40:48,846 --> 00:40:51,542
But I woke up
to go to the bathroom
833
00:40:51,582 --> 00:40:53,345
and I wanted
to brush my teeth,
834
00:40:53,384 --> 00:40:55,375
so I went
down the hall.
835
00:40:55,419 --> 00:40:57,410
The bathroom door
was ajar.
836
00:41:00,691 --> 00:41:03,592
I heard water running...
837
00:41:05,996 --> 00:41:08,760
I pushed
the door open...
838
00:41:13,637 --> 00:41:15,764
and I saw...
839
00:41:18,309 --> 00:41:20,402
I saw...
840
00:41:20,444 --> 00:41:22,435
What did you see?
841
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,118
My dad...
842
00:41:33,591 --> 00:41:36,082
was kneeling at the tub
843
00:41:36,126 --> 00:41:39,721
and he was washing out
a blue sweater.
844
00:41:41,765 --> 00:41:44,325
The sweater was all bloody
845
00:41:44,368 --> 00:41:48,168
and his hands
were bloody.
846
00:41:48,205 --> 00:41:52,164
I said, "Daddy,
did you hurt yourself?"
847
00:41:52,209 --> 00:41:55,667
I... wanted him
848
00:41:55,713 --> 00:41:57,613
to tell me everything
was all right.
849
00:41:57,648 --> 00:41:59,582
And what did he do?
850
00:41:59,617 --> 00:42:01,915
He turned to me...
851
00:42:04,221 --> 00:42:06,781
blood was smeared
on his face.
852
00:42:06,824 --> 00:42:08,724
And he had a look
853
00:42:08,759 --> 00:42:11,091
like he was going
to hit me.
854
00:42:11,128 --> 00:42:15,121
He looked like
a monster in a movie
855
00:42:15,165 --> 00:42:17,463
with his eyes
all bulged out.
856
00:42:17,501 --> 00:42:19,799
Did he say anything?
857
00:42:21,005 --> 00:42:23,803
I don't remember
anything after that.
858
00:42:26,410 --> 00:42:28,640
Thank you.
859
00:42:28,679 --> 00:42:31,443
Your witness.
860
00:42:31,482 --> 00:42:34,918
Prior to the past
two months, Mrs. Atkinson,
861
00:42:36,053 --> 00:42:37,953
when did you last
see your parents?
862
00:42:37,988 --> 00:42:39,819
Two years ago.
863
00:42:39,857 --> 00:42:42,382
Two years!
A long time.
864
00:42:42,426 --> 00:42:44,690
Did your parents
treat you badly?
865
00:42:44,728 --> 00:42:47,561
I didn't see them
866
00:42:47,598 --> 00:42:49,498
because it was painful
to talk to them.
867
00:42:49,533 --> 00:42:51,160
Oh, why?
868
00:42:51,201 --> 00:42:53,601
You feel your parents
don't love you?
869
00:42:53,637 --> 00:42:55,696
No, I'm sure they do.
870
00:42:55,739 --> 00:42:59,106
With your testimony,
are you trying to get back at them for some reason?
871
00:42:59,143 --> 00:43:00,405
Objection!
872
00:43:00,444 --> 00:43:02,605
Maybe you made this up
to get their attention.
873
00:43:02,646 --> 00:43:04,978
Sustained, Mr. Greer,
874
00:43:05,015 --> 00:43:08,451
that's enough along those lines,
move on to something else.
875
00:43:08,485 --> 00:43:11,454
Didn't you recall
the testimony you gave today
876
00:43:11,488 --> 00:43:13,615
only with the help
of a psychiatrist
877
00:43:13,657 --> 00:43:15,955
who works for the police
department of New York City?
878
00:43:15,993 --> 00:43:17,483
I just took
a walk with her.
879
00:43:17,528 --> 00:43:19,462
You just took a walk...
880
00:43:19,496 --> 00:43:22,954
and suddenly you remember
what happened 31 years ago?
881
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,595
- Did your Bellevue delusions
include images of blood? - No.
882
00:43:26,637 --> 00:43:30,073
- Or bathtubs? Or your
father trying to hurt you? - No, you don't understand.
883
00:43:30,107 --> 00:43:31,438
Oh, I understand!
884
00:43:31,475 --> 00:43:34,569
I understand that you've
always resented your father
885
00:43:34,612 --> 00:43:38,412
because he told you hard truths
you didn't want to hear. Isn't that the truth?
886
00:43:38,449 --> 00:43:40,474
- My father and l...
- Oh, come on.
887
00:43:40,517 --> 00:43:42,951
This is... come on, come on.
888
00:43:46,957 --> 00:43:50,085
Didn't your father forbid you
to see a boy in high school
889
00:43:50,127 --> 00:43:52,118
who subsequently
made you pregnant?
890
00:43:52,162 --> 00:43:56,531
In fact, hasn't your whole life been a
disaster?
891
00:43:56,567 --> 00:43:58,831
Divorces, abortions...
892
00:43:58,869 --> 00:43:59,858
Your Honor!
893
00:43:59,903 --> 00:44:01,336
Mr. Greer!
894
00:44:04,942 --> 00:44:07,103
No more questions.
895
00:44:16,887 --> 00:44:19,583
Greer:
He doesn't want her on the stand again.
896
00:44:19,623 --> 00:44:22,057
My heart goes
out to him.
897
00:44:22,092 --> 00:44:25,687
Tomorrow,
on redirect,
898
00:44:25,729 --> 00:44:29,460
I'm asking Julie
if he told her not to testify.
899
00:44:29,500 --> 00:44:31,127
I'll object.
900
00:44:31,168 --> 00:44:33,102
He tampered
with a witness, Doug.
901
00:44:33,137 --> 00:44:35,332
If he even gets
near her again...
902
00:44:36,674 --> 00:44:39,507
I was tempted
to revoke his bail.
903
00:44:39,543 --> 00:44:41,272
That's a stretch.
904
00:44:41,311 --> 00:44:44,178
He practically asked her
to commit perjury.
905
00:44:44,214 --> 00:44:46,774
Forget stretch,
906
00:44:46,817 --> 00:44:48,978
that's a leap across
the Grand Canyon.
907
00:44:49,019 --> 00:44:51,579
I haven't changed
my mind, Doug.
908
00:44:51,622 --> 00:44:53,954
Manslaughter one.
909
00:44:57,127 --> 00:45:00,096
He still insists
he didn't kill the boy.
910
00:45:00,130 --> 00:45:02,189
Fine.
911
00:45:02,232 --> 00:45:05,292
Does he want to let
a jury decide?
912
00:45:18,615 --> 00:45:20,515
Mr. Greer?
913
00:45:20,551 --> 00:45:22,917
Your Honor,
with the Court's permission,
914
00:45:22,953 --> 00:45:26,081
the defendant wishes to withdraw
his previously entered plea
915
00:45:26,123 --> 00:45:30,025
and plead guilty to the charge
of manslaughter in the first degree.
916
00:45:30,060 --> 00:45:32,494
Mr. Stone?
917
00:45:32,529 --> 00:45:34,656
The People agree,
Your Honor,
918
00:45:34,698 --> 00:45:36,825
with a sentence of eight
and a third-to-25 years
919
00:45:36,867 --> 00:45:38,334
as a condition of the plea.
920
00:45:38,368 --> 00:45:42,168
Mr. Messimer, you are
pleading guilty
921
00:45:42,206 --> 00:45:45,698
to manslaughter in the death
of Thomas Keegan.
922
00:45:45,743 --> 00:45:48,473
Did you in fact
commit the crime
923
00:45:48,512 --> 00:45:50,810
with which
you're charged?
924
00:45:50,848 --> 00:45:52,873
Yes.
925
00:45:54,718 --> 00:45:56,686
For the record,
926
00:45:56,720 --> 00:46:00,451
tell the Court
how you committed the crime.
927
00:46:01,458 --> 00:46:03,517
I hit him.
928
00:46:05,829 --> 00:46:09,321
It was a lug wrench
next to the boiler.
929
00:46:09,366 --> 00:46:11,698
I hit him on the head.
930
00:46:13,904 --> 00:46:16,771
I saw that he was dead
and I...
931
00:46:19,943 --> 00:46:22,275
I put him
inside the wall.
932
00:46:27,985 --> 00:46:30,510
I'm sorry.
933
00:46:33,190 --> 00:46:35,590
The plea agreement
is so entered.
934
00:46:53,443 --> 00:46:55,536
He would have
been convicted.
935
00:46:55,579 --> 00:46:57,809
He'd have done 25.
936
00:46:58,882 --> 00:47:02,340
He's 65 years old, and I didn't want his
daughter waking up
937
00:47:02,386 --> 00:47:04,445
with nightmares
for the rest of her life.
938
00:47:04,488 --> 00:47:07,685
And now she knows for sure...
she didn't imagine it.
939
00:47:17,668 --> 00:47:22,128
(theme music plays)
940
00:47:22,178 --> 00:47:26,728
