All language subtitles for Law & Order s17e12 Charity Case.eng

NARRATOR:
In the criminal justice system

the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,

the police
who investigate crime

and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

Keep him covered!
He's fine.

I just don't want him
to be photographed.

Not a lens in sight,
sweetheart.

(SQUEALING)
I'm just saying.

Come on, honey.
There you go.

So, what flavor?

Strawberry.
No, chocolate.

Okay.

No way.
You're Sofia Archer!

Yes, that's right.
Uh, she'll have chocolate.

Oh, my God, is that the
child from Africa?

Can I be the first
to see him?

Uh, he's a little
cranky right now.

Oh, just a peek! My mom
would lose her mind.

Can you please just
give us the ice cream?

SEAN: Get away,
don't touch him!

Back off! Back off! What are you doing?
Get away me!

Oh, my God.

Put that gun
down, stop!

(GUNSHOT)

Oh! Oh, my God!

Call the police!

(BABY CRYING)

(SCREAMING)

Sean!

The baby's fine. Mom was getting
shocky so EMS got her to Bellevue.

And daughter and nanny
are back home with uniforms.

Two blocks from here.

Nobody saw anything
more than a scuffle?

And his head exploding.

Nobody on the street
came forward?

No. Nobody.
It's dead this early.

(SIREN WAILING)

So, an attempted robbery?

Well, if it was,
it didn't get far.

I hate to say it, but it looks
like a kidnapping attempt.

I mean, this adoption
got a whole lot of press.

Yeah, but not in months.

The nanny said it was
one of the first times

since the adoption
the kid was out in public.

Bad luck?
Huh. I doubt it.

Sean was
awonderful man.

He died protecting
our child.

Have there been any threats
against the new baby?

I mean,
it was big news.

A lot of it negative.

For no good reason. We
didn't do anything wrong.

A lot of human rights
organizations,

children's rights groups,
sprouted up

looking for press
and donations.

When the cameras were gone,
so were they.

Their beef being?

Oh, that it was for publicity.
You know, for my career.

Just because Angelina
and Madonna.

It was all above board.

We had signed permission from the President
of Mamuno and the baby's real father.

He knew this was the only way that
his son would have a decent life.

Well, what about
your husband?

Could somebody have
been comin' after him?

I don't know.

Um. (CLEARS THROAT)

Oh! John Brody doesn't have
the balls to hurt a fly.

What?

Sean just got back
from six weeks of

producing a film
in Gibraltar.

He was sleeping
with his star,

Darla. Brady's wife.

I have to admit, I'd be a
little less casual about that.

Well, Sean and I have
had an arrangement.

But I don't want that
getting out in the press.

He died a damn hero.

But Darla's husband John,
he found out about the affair?

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

He was ruined.

JOHN: Yeah, so, what's
this got to do with me?

Did you hear what
I said, Mr. Brody?

Yeah. And that's atough
break for Sean Archer.

CASSADY: Getting laid
off is a tough break.

Bullet to the head's
something else.

Want me to cry for him?
He was banging my wife.

Been out of my house and away
from my kids because of him.

Yeah? That's an awful situation.
Got you drinking.

You bet.

You drinking to drown your sorrows
or to boost your confidence?

What, to shoot him?

I mean, come on,
I have enough problems.

Where were you at 7:00
this morning?

Here.

Anyone verify that?

Oh, come on. I'm a writer. We don't
kill people, we just write about it!

So what'd you hope to
accomplish by calling Sofia

to tell her her husband was
stepping out with your wife?

Get a little damn revenge.
You know what she said?

"Good for him," and hung up.
Miss Humanitarian.

Mother to the poor
and downtrodden.

Her and her husband?
Both of 'em whores.

You own a gun,
Mr. Brody?

No, but if you wanna
look around, be my guest.

Won't take long.

There it is,
my worldly possessions.

There was nothing
in Brady's hotel room,

and he doesn't
have a record.

And no alibi.

The bourbon on his breath
says he just woke up,

the Times was at his door

and the gunpowder residue
test came back negative.

So he was all
bark and no bite.

Which shoots a hole through the
image of and Sophia and Sean,

who are supposed to be this
happy Hollywood power couple.

An actress' real life
doesn't match her press?

Well, this is
more than press.

This whole adoption thing? She's
making herself out to be a saint.

Does any of it
help our case?

It expands
the suspect pool.

Jilted lovers, husbands and
wives of those jilted lovers.

Wonderful.

Ballistics came back on shell
casing found at the crime scene,

it matches a gun registered to
Marlon Cooper, Defense Attorney.

Last year
he assaulted a cop.

Have fun.

Did you notice
the charge was dropped,

or you didn't
read that far?

Oh, watch yourself,
smart ass.

I stopped where it said you put
one of us in the hospital!

First of all, I had no
idea he was one of yours,

because he was
in plain clothes,

planted to incite.

That was at the rally
for Darfur refugees.

The UN's inattention to, and thus
murder of, Darfur refugees, yeah.

So you're involved
in African causes?

I'm a civil rights
attorney!

I'm involved in
a lot of things.

International
child adoption?

What do you guys
want exactly?

What's your take
on Sofia Archer?

Sofia Archer? Jeez,
uh, diva actress?

And her adoption
of an African baby?

Hey, they cleared room
for her on the bandwagon.

Good for her.
Look, I'm a busy guy.

Where's your .9mm,
Mr. Cooper?

Um, it got lost
two years ago, or stolen.

You didn't report it?

It was in a box when I moved apartments,
it might have gotten thrown out.

What's to report?

Where were you
this morning, 7:00?

I was with a client.

Accused drug dealer, actually,
he got flaked by a cop.

What's your client's name?

Bobby Suarez.

"International League
for Child Rights."

Isn't this one of the groups
protesting Sofia Archer's adoption?

I got that flyer
on the subway.

Right. On the subway.

Cooper did some pro-bono work
for us after the Darfur rally.

But, we parted company
on the Sofia adoption.

The New York Ledger says your organization
was at the forefront opposing it.

That was Marlon who
gave those quotes.

When the article came out,
we cut ties.

He made it sound like Sofia
wasn't even on his radar.

Oh, more like there was
nothing else on his radar.

He was obsessed,
he said she was copycatting

and trying to boost her
career with a baby theft.

Theft? What'd he
base that on?

Mamuno has maybe three laws concerning
adoption, written 50 years ago.

But one of them says that adoptive
parents have to live in the country

for a year before
the child can leave.

She was there
three days.

And Cooper draws the line
at star adoptions?

Well, he didn't talk about
kidnapping or murder.

Well, what then?

Protests, pickets, rallies
outside her apartment.

Why did that get him
the boot?

I'd think that'd bring
more publicity to you cause.

Listen, we want money for
AIDS and war orphans.

Whatever her motivation, Sofia brought
attention and money to Mamuno.

And that just didn't
fly with Cooper?

He kept calling her
the baby thief.

You can read all about it
in his letter to the editor.

"Why travel 15,000 miles
to adopt a child of color?

"How about Detroit,
St. Louis?

"Hell, Sofia,
hop a 5 train to the Bronx

"and I'll guarantee
scores of orphans.

"But will you? No.

"Because the celebrity
career-boosting accessory du four

"is no longer a sweater-weari
ng Ch I h uah ua,

"it's a destitute
African AIDS orphan,

"ready for purchase from any number of
countries desperate for foreign cash."

Yeah. Guy's got
a serious bone to pick

and his gun is
the murder weapon.

Well, a kidnapping would bring a
lot of attention to the cause.

Or himself.
The guy's a total windbag.

Well, he's a windbag
with an alibi.

Bobby Suarez,
that dope dealer kid

that he was to supposed meet
up with, backs Cooper up.

A dope dealer? And why
should we believe him?

Because he met him
at his P.O.'s office.

It's legit.
But check these out.

TARU just sent these over.

They're security stills
from inside Sofia's lobby.

They're not from the day of the
murder, but they're from last week.

It looks like Marlon Cooper was
giving you a payoff, Mr. McCready.

He said
he was paparazzi.

What'd he want?

Heads up when she left
with the new kid.

Which you gave him
the day of the murder.

That don't make me
responsible.

How much was
it worth to him?

A grand. Cash.

CASSADY: How'd you give him the heads up?
Called his cell.

We dumped his cell, there
were no calls from you.

I just called
the number he gave me!

You better find
that number. Now.

So you don't mind doin' 25
years, is that it? Sit down!

I didn't kill Sean Archer!

Then who did? Who'd you
give that weapon to?

My gun was stolen!

Then Why'd you pay off
her doorman?

Look. I don't see
any money here.

Okay, then who you been talkin' to
at this disposable cell number?

The doorman said he called you at
this number the morning of murder.

Then there's cell site
hits for this phone

near the crime scene at
the time of the shooting.

But you were with
your drug dealer client then,

so you had to have
passed off the phone!

To the same guy
you gave that gun to.

I think we're seeing
coincidences.

Marlon, you were
on a mission!

Babytheft.
Illegal adoption.

Those are things
I strongly protest!

And what better place
to make a statement

than at a huge press
event like a kidnapping?

Except the best laid
plans, right, Cooper?

What went wrong?

You know what?

I'm sorry Sean Archer
is dead.

I'm sure the person
who killed him is, too.

But these people were
pure biblical evil.

You tell me I'm wrong!

For stealing babies?

Three days is not a year!

Did you try to take the baby
and something went wrong?

Look, whomever did this,
I'm sure he's remorseful.

And I hope he's getting
a good head start on you.

I got nothing more to say.

ED: Anybody comin' in or
out of Cooper's apartment?

It's revolving door.
He say clients, I say swine.

Anyone in the last
few days?

Who knows? I stop paying
attention to him year ago.

ED: Okay.

Police! Open up!

(KNOCKING)

ED: Police!

(DOOR OPENING)

(WINDOW BREAKING)

I'll take the street.

(RATTLING)

Police! Freeze!

Nina, he's comin' out
the back of the building!

Black male, around 25, he's got
a grey jacket, black pants.

He's limping. Something's
wrong with his leg.

NINA: Stop, police!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Central, be advised, perpetrator
has jumped into a cab.

Heading east on Dikeman.

We found loose ammo for a
.9mm that ballistics says

is consistent with the slug
pulled from Sean Archer.

Any lifts?

Oh, my God, there was a
thousand in that guest room,

but believe it or not,
none of 'em in the system.

Hmm.

A first-timer blows
a guy's face off.

Our guy's a foreigner.

I traced a pre-paid credit card
found in Cooper's apartment.

Airline charges for a
round-trip ticket from Mamuno

with about 20 different
connections, ending in Toronto.

And then another charge
for a child seat,

one-way, from Toronto
to Mamuno.

The child's father,
what's his name?

Ephraim Mogae.

Obviously Cooper was smuggling
him in through Toronto.

To take his son home.

Were there any other charges
on that pre-paid card?

Nothin'.
He's in the wind.

Any relatives, friends
you can talk to?

Nothin'.

Well, you're gonna
have to find someone.

That guy's out there
with a gun.

Mr. Mogae said
he had a brother.

It was a cousin. He said
he lived in New Jersey.

Do you know
this cousin's name?

Mmm. I think it's in my
BlackBerry, let me get it.

Did Ephraim Mogae try to make
contact after the adoption?

Yes. Here you go,
sweetie.

To see his son?

Yes.

What happened?

I told Mary that I didn't want
to hear from them again.

I mean, if we were
going to be a family,

then we needed
time to bond.

When was the last time
he tried to make contact?

(SIGHS DEEPLY)
It's been a while.

But you cut him off.
No contact at all?

Opposite of your
press statements.

I don't need to
defend myself to you.

Cousin's name
is Festus Lepetu.

Has he ever
contacted you guys?

After we asked them
to stop calling,

we haven't heard
from any of 'em.

And you didn't think
to mention any of that?

Well, it's been months.
Months.

Festus Lepetu?

Yes.

I don't know
where Ephraim is.

He got in your cab
this morning, didn't he?

No, Miss.

Well, he was limpin'.

How bad he hurt himself
jumpin' out of that window?

Sorry, Miss. You got a
family here, Festus?

Yes! Your family's
papers in order?

Look, we're gonna talk to your
cousin one way or another!

He is just here
to visit me!

Okay, I want to
hear him say that.

Will there be any justice
for him against this woman?

If you don't help us
bring him in peacefully,

there's gonna be nothin' for him
but a shootout in the street.

Come on.
Hey, hey.

Come on.
But.

Mr. Mogae?

Do you speak English?

Yes.

We need you to come with us.
Can you walk?

(SCREAMS IN PAIN)

Oh, Okay. Sit, sit, sit.
Sit, sit.

I'll call
for a bus.

Mr. Mogae, we know
why you're in the city.

We know that Sofia Archer
refused to let you see yourson.

We can make our D.A.'s
understand.

If they hear your story, they can
help you with your sentencing.

If not, you're just another murderer,
which we don't think you are.

Where's the gun?

In a trashcan near
my cousin's home.

Good.

Now, what happened
yesterday morning?

Mr. Cooper said he got a call.
They left the apartment.

He got the call from
Sofia's doorman? Yes.

ED: Did Mr. Cooper
give you the gun?

He did not know
I took the gun.

You can't protect him,
Mr. Mogae.

He did not know!

Or my plan to take
Christopher back home.

Didn't you approve
of the adoption?

Sign the papers
and all that?

I thought they'd be
in Mamuno for a year.

Then they were gone! Gone!

Okay, so what happened when
you confronted her husband?

He would not let me
see my son.

Even for a moment!

He pushed me.

Is that why
you drew the gun?

Yes, but, I did
not pull the trigger.

I cocked it, yes,
to scare him.

But it went off!
And then I ran.

Okay, good.

Um, we're gonna tell the
D.A.'s what you said.

But we need you to write
down first, all right?

I did not want
to hurt anyone.

I deserve what is to come to
me and will do what you ask.

But I must see my son.

Let's concentrate
on your statement.

First my son.
Then anything you wish.

But first, my son.

Hell, no! No!

Look, I understand
your reluctance.

You don't understand a damn thing!
He shot my husband!

If you allow the visit, he'll
plead guilty to manslaughter

and do 15 years.

He deserves
athousand!

But if you refuse
this visit,

he'll press for atrial.

You'll have to testify and
maybe even your daughter, too.

He shot Sean in the face!
And he admitted to it.

How could there
possibly be atrial?

We've recovered the gun,

and there was a flaw
with the firing pin.

It could support
an accidental shooting.

Mr. Mogae could come off
sympathetic to ajury.

How could he possibly
come off as sympathetic?

The fact that you refused
him access to his child?

Who'll they'll argue was
adopted in an unorthodox way.

That's not true!

They will argue it
regardless!

It's just five minutes.

He can't come within
three feet of the child.

He will be supervised
by myself

and the detectives that
covered this case.

And yourself if you like.

I do not wanna see him!

MARY: I'll do it.

He killed my husband.

(CRYING)

He killed my husband.

Mary, he killed my husband.

(DOOR BUZZING)

(BABY BABBLING)

You have five minutes.

May I please see
more of his face?

(CHUCKLING)

Mr. Mogae?

Is there a problem?

This is not my son.

This is not my son.

What the hell is
that supposed to mean?

He insists
he's not his son.

When's the last time
he saw the child?

Four months ago, and the
baby's 9-months-old now.

Compare a photo.

Press photos
from the orphanage show

a malnourished
5-month-old

who is deathly
underweight.

Sofia has refused to let
the child be photographed

since their return
to the States.

Given proper care,

the child could have doubled its
weight in that time, but still.

He's backing out of his guilty
plea until he sees his son

or finds out
his whereabouts.

Or he saw his son
and we're being played.

Well, if that was a
put-on, it was damn good!

He's the last person I'd want pleading
his case in front of a courtroom.

Well, let's not forget
he shot a man in face!

The jury's not likely
to overlook that.

A faulty gun and a
questionable foreign adoption?

You think Sofia Archer will fight you
over a sample of the child's DNA?

I can't imagine
why not.

Then you better
lace him up, Jack,

because if Mr. Mogae
is right

and that's not his
then where is his son?

Your Honor, section 532
of the Family Court Act

permits you to order a child
to submit to DNA testing.

For a paternity action,
as opposed to this,

which is a non
paternity action.

Donald FF v. Jennifer FF,

the Family Court Act does
not authorize a proceeding

which aims to
illegitimize achild.

This isn't about
parental responsibilities.

We want this resolved
so that we can wrap up

Mr. Mogae's murder case
and, if necessary,

begin the search for his son!
Please.

He's a confessed murderer,
in the country illegally,

demanding a DNA test
on a child that

he claims isn't his.
Where's his standing?

If Mr. Mogae's claim is true,
we have evidence of a crime.

If Mr. Mogae is this baby's father,
that's the end of all this.

No further disruptions
in the child's life.

The test seems
minimally invasive

and would resolve the cloud
hanging over this child's head.

Mr. Farmer, your client will
produce the boy for a DNA test.

Got your seatbelt on?

The boy's DNA
didn't match Mr. Mogae.

It sure didn't.
He was right.

So where is the son?

I don't know, but I've
got someone to ask.

The DNA popped
a match 'm CONS.

The child's real mother.

Lashonda Harris.

Felony trafficking, four
months into a 10-year bit.

She tried to smuggle in four
ounces of heroin from Amsterdam.

And one of the balloons
broke inside of her stomach.

She was pregnant
at the time.

Any connection between Lashonda
Harris and Sofia Archer?

Lashonda is her
former assistant.

What the hell's going
on here, Connie?

I'm takin' a ride to
Bedford Hills to find out.

Obviously, I was into some
pretty bad behavior at the time.

Sofia was very generous.

She agreed to take
care of your child?

Raise my child,
pay for good schools,

everything.

When did she first
approach you?

Like four months ago?

Right after I got locked up.

Where was your baby
before then?

At my sister's house in
Philly, which was, ugh!

It was a very kind thing
that Sofia did.

Did you know anything about the
child she'd adopted in Africa?

Christopher?

Uh, I mean, yeah, I knew
she had plans to do that,

but do you have any idea
where he is?

What do you mean?

As far as we can
figure it right now,

Sofia has been
passing off your son

as the child
she adopted.

What?

Do you know where the child
she adopted might be?

No. No!

(sums)

Did you know that Sofia planned
to use your child this way?

No!

Mary came here
and visited me,

and said, "Sofia wants
to raise your son."

Whoa, whoa.
Mary came to you?

And I thought it was the
best thing at the time,

but, now what
is going on?

Is my son okay?

It's not your son
I'm worried about.

There is only one explanation
my client can think of

for why the child
she has been caring for

is the son of
Lashonda Harris

and not Ephraim Mogae
as she thought.

We're all ears!

One week after the adoption
of Christopher Mogae

and Sofia's return
to the Unites States,

she left the child in the
care of her assistant,

Mary Calvin,
for six weeks.

And where was she
these six weeks?

A private,

weight rehabilitation
facility in Ojai, California.

A health spa? FARMER: It's
my client's assertion

that during these six weeks,
Christopher Mogae

came to some harm under
the care of Mary Calvin

and that Mary Calvin
approached Lashonda Harris.

Whoa, are you saying
she got a replacement?

A replacement child?

Is this some kind of
ghoulyjoke?

That's a question for Mary,
not for me.

But you didn't
notice the switch.

I had been gone
for six weeks.

Oh, so all brown babies
pretty much look the same,

is that what
you're saying?

Please!

My client had been
in the presence of

Christopher Mogae for
no more than three days.

His care was almost
exclusively in the hands

of Miss Calvin. Contrary
to her press statements.

Yes.

So adopting a baby
was just a publicity stunt.

I was giving Christopher
a better life!

And I was drawing attention
to a region of the world

that is buckling
under an AIDS pandemic.

Save that for the press,
Mrs. Archer.

Was he going to be
raised by the nanny?

Yes. But so is
my daughter,

and so are the children
of a lot of working women!

Not to the extent
that their children

are unrecognizable to them.

He was severely
underweight in Africa.

I just...

I just thought
he had gotten healthy.

What are the chances that Miss
Calvin will have a different story?

Oh, I'm sure she'll come up
with some lie. But no.

We've heard you, Miss Archer.
And we've heard enough.

She's lying!

And throwing you
under a bus?

And what exactly is she
saying I did to Christopher?

Why don't you just
tell us your side.

Mmm. For what?
What's on the table?

How can I know that, Miss
Prather, when all I've got

is a missing child
and two supposed caregivers

on opposite sides
of the truth?

I didn't hurt him.
lcouldn't!

I would never hurt a child!

Then what
happened to him?

For a week after
we got back from Mamuno,

she tried to care
for Christopher herself.

Because of the bad press?

It was a disaster.

But she tried.

I left for an hour
to buy food for dinner.

When I came back,
she was screaming.

She said the baby
turned blue.

Why didn't you call
an ambulance?

He was dead.

I'll ask that again.

I did CPR
for 20 minutes!

I defibrillated him with a
portable unit in the house!

He was dead.

Then why didn't you call the
hospital or his pediatrician

or anyone?

Sofia lost her mind.
She ordered me not to.

She said if I did, she'd
blame me to the police.

And that the press was already
against her for the adoption,

and now they'd say
that she killed the baby.

Did she?

Maybe she shook him.

Whose idea was it
to switch the children?

Sofia's.

I never met Lashonda Harris
before seeing her in prison.

I can't imagine you went
to all this trouble

out of the goodness
of your heart.

She offered me
half a million dollars.

I needed the money.

(SOBBING)

I felt so bad
for that little boy.

But he just died.

Where is he?

(CHATTERING)

Connie, we got
nothin' so far.

Maybe she's wrong
about the location.

Is that something
you really forget?

Where you buried
a dead kid?

(nos WHINING)

(nos BARKING)

OFFICER: Detectives,
we got somethin'!

Bones. Human.

Looks like
an animal got it.

She's a collar.
Sofia Archer, too.

Based on what?

She knew.
She had to know.

She's a collar.

If you cannot afford one,
one will be provided for you.

Do you understand these rights
as I have read them to you?

Just get me my lawyer.

Ready to meet your public?

Back it up!
Back it up!

(CLAMORING)

Rib fractures consistent with a
child who'd been beaten to death.

That is a sad truth, Mr. McCoy,
but my client's not responsible.

Mary Calvin killed
my baby.

There are no cameras in here.
You could lose the pretense.

Your assistant could be
a little more respectful.

Your client could be
a little less nauseating.

So this is personal, is that
what I'm gleaning here?

Because where's your evidence
of Sofia's involvement?

Her child buried
in the park!

Her reputation, career, and
social standing at stake

if harm came
to the child.

And a half million dollar payment
for disposal of the body.

That was a loan
so that Mary could

pay her mother's
medical bills.

Paid in full in cash the day
you left New York for Ojai.

JACK: You wanna explain
that coincidence to ajury?

Regardless of what Mary
Calvin says or what purpose

she claims that money was
for, you can't prove murder.

You got nothing.

There's no way Sofia didn't
recognize the child

when she got back
from weight camp.

There's no way
that story's true!

The M.E. pinpoint
when the child died?

JACK:
Only within a week or so.

Sofia may have been
in town or already in Ojai.

Is there any abuse
in Mary Calvin's background?

No arrests.
Her former employer

says their child made
a few trips to the E.R.

But that child was autistic,
he's accident-prone.

I doubt that's the way
the defense will present it.

But who do you believe?

Mary Calvin, who admitted
to burying this child

and took us
to his remains,

or Sofia, who claims

she didn't recognize
the child she had adopted?

We'll need to
make a deal

with Mary Calvin
for her testimony.

Disposal of a body
and hindering prosecution.

Okay, but that's it.

That's the horse
you've got to ride.

JACK: And then, what did
you do, Miss Calvin?

I found a dark spot
in the park.

I dug the best hole I could
with the garden shovel,

Took Christopher
out of the duffel bag.

Then I covered him up.

Why did you bury the child instead
of going to the authorities?

Sofia ordered me not to

and threatened
to blame me.

Then,

she promised to pay me.

And why did you
approach Lashonda Harris?

Sofia said she needed to
cover up Christopher's death.

She needed another baby.

Did she justify
this switch?

She said that Lashonda's
baby needed help, too.

That it would be charitable
to raise him as Christopher.

And that the press and the public
would never know the difference.

Miss Calvin, isn't it true
that you're the one

who murdered
Christopher Mogae?

No, it's not.

You killed him
while my client

was in Ojai, California,
didn't you?

He died when
she was in New York!

Who buried the child?

I did.

Who approached Lashonda
Harris to adopt her child?

Only because Sofia paid me!

You ever been violent
with a child in the past?

Never.

Before your employment
with Sofia Archer,

you worked for Paige
and Franklin Littlefield,

is that right? Nannying
for their son Jackson.

That's right.

And how many times did you take
little Jackson to the Emergency Room

while you were his nanny?

I never hurt him.

How many times?

Three times!

Broken wrist,
broken arm, black eye.

He had autism and he
would act out violently.

Well, it doesn't sound like
the basis for atermination,

but the Littlefields, they
fired you, didn't they?

His behavior was getting
worse as he got older,

and they wanted
an autism specialist!

Or they just didn't want any
more broken bones or worse.

Objection, Your Honor!

Counselor, leave the
testimony to the witness.

Nothing further.

Sofia, explain your purpose
in adopting Christopher Mogae.

I thought I had
a good life to offer him.

And I wanted to shed light
on the AIDS pandemic

in his home country.

Did you do any research
before adopting Christopher?

Months' worth.

I'd learned that 14% of
Mamuno's 12 million people

are infected with HIV.

That the number of orphans
is around one million.

What happened when you
brought Christopher home?

When I came home from Mamuno,
my agent called and said

there were talks of a
remake of Black Narcissus,

and I was being considered
for the Sister Clodagh role.

But I had to
get in shape.

So I left Christopher
with Mary Calvin.

When you returned
home from Ojai,

how much contact did you
have with the child

you thought
was Christopher?

Not very much.

But I think Mary was
keeping him from me.

I mean, he was always
a little sick, or asleep.

But she said he was fine
and gaining weight,

which was
obviously a lie.

Sofia, did you kill
Christopher Mogae?

I did not.

Did you charge Mary Calvin
with arranging to replace him

with Lashonda Harris' baby?

I didn't have anything
to do with that.

And it breaks my heart to think a
child whose life I was trying to save

wound up in these
awful circumstances.

Nothing further.

You refused to
let the child

be photographed or
allowed out of the house

during the six weeks of
your absence, didn't you?

There had been
enough press.

Or was that to ensure that no one
could compare him to the boy

that you adopted
in Mamuno

because it wasn't
the same boy!

That couldn't have
been my concern,

I didn't know what had
happened to him.

You said to the press

that you would raise
the child yourself,

you insisted on that,
but you lied, didn't you?

Yes.

So you have a history
of skillful lying.

What's to say
you're not lying now?

I only lied to the press to steer
attention to the orphanage.

Which resulted in three million
dollars worth of donations.

And that was just
to boost your career,

now the stakes are a little
higher, aren't they?

Mary Calvin killed my
child and buried him!

You killed your child
and paid her to bury him!

Paid her a half a million
dollars, didn't you?

I gave her the money
to save her dying mother!

I never hurt Christopher!

And I'm incapable of harming or
even raising my voice to a child!

Just neglecting one

to the point of being
unable to recognize him.

Your own adopted son, who
you told millions of people

would be raised
as your own blood!

I adopted Christopher
to save his life.

And others like him.

I thought if my celebrity could serve a
good purpose, then why shouldn't it?

But it wasn't enough.

And, yes.

I am responsible.

Not for his murder

but for leaving him
with the wrong person.

I never saw her yell or raise
a hand at her daughter.

Because she was patient,
or she just wasn't around?

She wasn't around much.

And perfect behavior
when she was?

No, she was absent.

She didn't pay attention. But
that's what I was there for.

And you never, ever
gave her any drugs?

No! I... Look, you already asked
me these questions months ago.

And I am
asking you again!

No! She doesn't drink, she didn't do
drugs, except for the prescriptions.

Look, I don't think
that she was capable

of beating that kid
like you said!

If he started crying, she would
have just left the room.

What if she was alone?

She probably would
have put her iPod on

and waited for
somebody to help.

She wasn't cruel!

She was just

absent!

(SIGHS) You ever work
as a babysitter?

I delivered newspapers.

I had eight regulars,
infants to adolescents.

Paid for my first car.

Rule number one, if you do
not watch them like a hawk,

something from the floor
will end up in their mouth.

What am I looking at?

It's from the initial
search of Sofia's home,

from the household
vacuum bag.

Eight tablets of
dexamphetamine.

Diet pills?

One alone would be a
lethal dose for an infant.

I think she spilled
her pills

and didn't think
to pick them up.

Fun story.

Interesting theory.

Your fingerprints were the only
ones found on the pill bottle.

And Christopher Mogae's DNA was
recovered from his dried saliva

on four of the tablets
found in the vacuum bag.

Don't...
Don't dignify it.

She wiped his mouth,
then handled the pills.

So what?

A subpoena of your
pharmacy also revealed

that you called from your weight
treatment center in California

to cancel an expensive
order of mephloquine.

Malaria medication for
Christopher's ongoing condition.

FARMER: So she went
to another pharmacy.

Mephloquine isn't aspirin.

It's only available
through the CDC

and no other order
has been placed,

past the one
your client cancelled.

Once you got to Ojai, why did
you suddenly stop treatment

for Christopher's malaria?

Because he was dead.

And you knew it!

I cancelled the order
because...

Avanity adoption,

a hoodwinked father,

and the child overdoses
on your diet pills?

You would have been
pilloried in the press.

What if it was
an accident?

You're saying
you perjured yourself?

She's posing a hypothetical,
which she will not do again.

An accident doesn't
make me a killer.

JACK: You might have been able to
sell the adoption as simple goodwill.

And Christopher's death
as maternal incompetence.

But you replaced him
with another child!

You knew exactly
what you were doing!

Do you know... Do you know
that millions of dollars

went into Mamuno
because of me?

Medicine, food,
clean drinking water!

Do you know how many other
children will live years

past their life expectancy
because of me?

We're only concerned
with the one who won't.

I did my best.

Man two, 15 years.

I wanna have kids.
You know?

Iwanna wake up with
them in the morning,

make 'em breakfast,

see 'em off to school,

and tuck 'em in at night.

I just can't imagine
seeing that as a burden.

Some people
are wired wrong.

Ugliest part of our work.

It's babies...

Babies as fashion.

Pour me another?
