Original subtitles

Wo separate

yet equally important groups:

The police who investigate crime

and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

[Music playing loudly]

♪ ♪

Katie! Volume, please!

[Vacuum cleaner running]

How about turning some of this off

before al gore makes a movie about you?

Music helps me think,

and the tv has to be on

in case of anything johnny depp-related.

And the ac?

If you want to cool off, drink hot tea.

That's what they do in the sahara.

[Telephone rings]

Hi, honey. I just got home.

And when can we expect you?

No.

Hello? The line just went dead.

Mrs. Alana, something is wrong with--

the stoplight's out at the corner.

Karen and jody said the power's out

at their houses too.

Westside and brooklyn? Great, another blackout.

Isabel, can you get out the flashlights?

And we have extra water-- [Cell phone rings]

Hi, honey, the power went--you too?

Okay, we'll be here.

Bye.

Mom, maybe we should let isabel go home early.

Right, you should be with your children.

Go ahead, iz. Oh, thank you.

Mom, the subways won't be working.

Right. I'll get you cab fare.

I put away the groceries first.

I'll help you. It'll go faster.

[Horns honking]

Somebody hit the panic button at 3:22

about a half-hour into the blackout.

System has an eight-hour battery.

What time did you get here? 4:17.

As soon the blackout hit, our board went nuts.

Lot of old ladies can't find their flashlights.

Tried calling the police.

They were busy. All the traffic lights out--

yeah, I got it.

How'd you get in?

Garage, somebody hadn't closed it all the way.

Place was like this when we came in.

Throat's cut.

Looks like she was on her way out.

That's her purse on the table.

Isabel paez.

She's the housekeeper.

Been with the family eight years.

(Man) What's going on?

This is my house.

John conlan? Yes.

I got a call to come home. Traffic was jammed up.

Would you step over here, mr. Conlon?

Oh, my god, is that isabel?

Where's my wife and my daughter katie?

They're not here.

What?

No, they were here when the power went out.

Well, maybe they went to see a friend.

Listen, would you go outside with this officer

while we figure this out, please?

Call van buren, tell her we're looking

at a possible kidnap?

Yeah, tell her we could use ten hours of daylight too.

Want trap-and-traces up on all phones

registered to mr. Conlan.

And believe me, I know there's a blackout.

Sergeant simmons, where's my generator?

Same place it was a half-hour ago, l.T.--Traffic.

Well, there's a hardware store two blocks north on lex.

If they have any portable generators,

commandeer them.

I got him making a list of all the people

that have been in the house the last six months.

Good, keep him busy.

He runs a $200 million hedge fund.

He's not a patient man by nature.

Security company's got video of the kidnapping.

This was streamed from our office in jersey city.

It's a graphic reconstruction based on data

from the motion and heat sensors in the home.

That dot moving there toward the front door

is the housekeeper.

Those are intruders.

They killed the housekeeper,

and now they're going for the mom and daughter.

That's somebody hitting the panic button

in the hallway.

My battery died. I'm sorry.

That door they went through,

where does it lead?

This looks fresh.

That's an electric motor.

Somehow they got this door open.

They backed the car in and loaded up their victims.

Dent's high on the fender,

so we're probably talking about a van or an suv.

A blue van or suv.

Start knocking on doors.

No, sorry, I was running around looking for batteries.

So what's going on at the conlans?

Burglary.

Of course. No alarm.

I hope they're sending the bill to con-ed.

[Women laughing]

I got home around 5:00.

Right. Yeah.

Okay, so that was after.

You look thirsty. Do you want one?

No, no thank you.

And you know, you're not actually supposed

to be drinking that outside.

Oh.

Maybe you should walk me home.

My husband's out of town.

So, you know, what happens in a blackout

doesn't really count.

Later.

Let's go. The ransom call just came in.

(Man on telephone) $15 million by midnight or they both die.

How do I know they're still alive?

I need proof before I agree to anything.

(Katie) Dad?

I'm right here, sweetie.

Mom's here. We're okay.

We're just scared.

Katie?

Katie?

(Man) Okay now? $15 million by midnight.

I can't the money that fast. The banks aren't open.

Have one opened.

A guy like you? Just call one of your friends.

Look, it's not that easy.

The safes won't open when the power's out.

But I have cash in the house

and maybe $2 million in jewelry.

The price is $15 million.

I know, and you'll get it all when the power's back on.

It's--look, consider it a show of good faith.

You know I'm willing to pay.

We'll call you back.

It's okay, mr. Conlon. You did fine.

You got us a chance to catch these guys.

Soon as they take the bag, we can track them.

(Van buren) Just make the drop.

Do not confront them. Are we clear about that?

I'm no hero. I just want my family back.

[All cheering]

[All groaning]

Well, at least the power was almost back on.

Don't get your hopes up.

That generator is as old as me.

Look, I need a release warrant for mr. conlan,

but with all this--

no problem.

There is an antique typewriter in mccoy's office.

I'll go pry it out of his hands.

Excellent.

Loo, forensics tied

the paint chips from the garage

to a...'98 chevy cargo van.

We put the description out on the air,

but communication says we're lucky

if 15% of the force gets it.

Ah, this just gets better.

L.t., the radios are almost out of juice

and we can't recharge them.

You know, I heard a rumor these was a time

when police officers didn't have radios.

You know, you all were issued whistles

as a part of your standard equipment.

Now would be the time to use them.

If you've misplaced yours,

you can get a new one from the supply room.

And if you forgot the whistle codes,

it's one long, two short-- suspect sighted.

Three short-- officer needs assistance.

Lieutenant, we got a text.

They want me at barrow and commerce.

[Truck backing up]

(Van buren) All units, stand by.

Get ready to roll, people.

Yeah, I'm here.

(Man) Start walking towards hudson.

Look for a cab.

There he goes.

Let's go.

Man on a bicycle grabbed the swag.

Heading east on barrow.

[Tires squealing]

[Whistling "suspect sighted"]

[Tires squealing]

[Blowing whistle]

[Crashing sound]

Hey, mister, so sorry. Mister!

I run cable to generator for my store.

I--he didn't see.

I'm sorry, i--

I'm sorry.

He's dead.

Told me.

And now my family is in even greater danger.

Why isn't the fbi involved?

I hear what you're saying, mr. Conlan.

If we feel the fbi can be of use,

we'll get them involved.

We'll do everything we can

to get your family back safe.

Just give us time.

[Knock on door] Excuse me.

[Exhales]

Anything on our lance armstrong?

(Lupo) No wallet, no I.d.,

and his prints aren't in the system.

He had a no name prepaid phone.

And the only calls were to conlan

and to another prepaid phone.

Probably an accomplice.

Who's probably wondering what happened to his partner.

We don't have much time

before he decides to make a move.

Well, we've got one more piece of evidence to check out.

Csu wasn't gonna show up for a couple hours,

so we just took it.

A mountain bike.

Look at the seat.

It's a woman's model.

It's probably stolen.

There's a sticker from the mta

to take the bike the lirr.

It's current.

Wake someone up at the mta.

Sure you got the right address?

Yeah.

Excuse me.

Where's the rest of the cavalry?

Cavalry for what?

To help us move these people.

To a facility with a working generator.

I'm sorry, ma'am. It's just us.

We're looking for tina shen.

My bike? I lent it to a friend.

Your boyfriend? Just somebody I met here.

Nick. Nick costas.

He said he needed my bike

to get to a part-time job last night.

Is he okay?

(Lupo) Is that nick? Yes.

Oh, my god, was he in an accident?

A fatal accident.

Were you close?

He's mixed up in a kidnapping. A woman and her daughter.

They're still missing.

So I think you should answer the question,tina.

We were just, you know, casual.

Did you ever meet any of his friends?

No.

Our thing was very casual.

Why is that? You didn't click?

His idea of a life plan was to go live

on a beach in greece and make jewelry.

That's just not practical.

What did he do here?

Nothing, he just visited.

His dad lives here.

[Chuckling] My boy nick.

Outhpaw the dodgers ever had.

Alzheimer's.

Nick would come once a week and bring him greek pastries.

Where did nick live?

Somewhere in the city.

And he came by yesterday just to borrow your bike?

He said he'd been cleaning out his dad's store.

Before he came here,

nick's dad had some kind of store in astoria.

(Green) Where in astoria?

You have to ask him.

Mr. Costas, hi.

Hello.

Where's your store, mr. Costas?

Crescent and 31st.

Crescent and 31st.

Cloverfield.

Cloverfield and 31st.

Cloverfield.

Cloverfield, crescent.

Cloverfield? Crescent?

[Breathing heavily]

What kind of store do you have?

[Chuckling]

My kid's a hell of a southpaw.

Is he coming today?

No, I don't think so.

[Chuckling]

I know what he's doing.

He's feeding the snake.

That--that kid.

He's not gonna give me a warrant for each store,

and I need more to make an argument

for exigent circumstances.

Look, man, if we hear screams, we're going in.

But we got, like, a half a dozen stores here

and they're all closed up.

I don't want to go in

and have somebody walk on a bad search.

Hey, ed!

The snake the old man was talking about.

Hey, man, I think we just found the place.

Hold on. Your honor!

Your honor! Easy, wait your turn.

I have an emergency search warrant application.

Excuse my handwriting.

It's not your handwriting, mr. Cutter.

The fact that your informant, mr. Costas,

doesn't seem to know the location of his own store.

The warrant pertains to a kidnapping in progress.

We have officers on the scene.

We're racing the clock.

You think I can't smell b.S. In the dark, counselor?

You have the officers on the line?

This is judge bradley. Who is this?

Uh, this is detective green, your honor.

Your honor, mr. Costas has alzheimer's.

What about the local precinct, detective?

Don't they keep a list of contacts for these stores?

They do in their computers, but the power's out.

Any other day, your honor--

just because the power is out

doesn't mean we unplug the constitution.

That goes for you as well.

Judge, people's lives are at stake.

This is an emergency.

I am not signing this, mr. Cutter.

Detective green, go in.

You get a warrant? Just go.

I'll cover you.

All right. He said go.

Police!

Ed.

"Galaxy o' petssss.

Nick costas, sr., proprietor."

(Green) There's the mother.

Now where's the daughter?

[Rustling]

Shh shh shh!

Stay down! Stay down, police!

I just saw somebody running out of that garage.

I think it was a burglar or something. Shut up!

On the ground now! I'm not the guy you want.

I'm telling you there was a burglar or someone

coming out of there.

Yeah, what's that on your shoes?

Looks like blood to me.

Where is she? I don't know what you're talking about.

Well, you better hope you didn't do

what I think you did--ed!

Katie? [Katie muttering]

It's the police. You're gonna be all right.

[Muffled] Help me!

Mom? Where's my mom?

I'm telling you, man-- shut up--ed!

I got her! She's okay!

You are one lucky mother.

[Siren burst]

Officer donovan's gonna take you

to your father, okay?

Take care of her.

The driver's license for roy barkin.

Roy, you're under arrest.

[Sports announcer on radio]

(Green) Yeah!

(Katie) I don't recognize anybody.

Anyway, they had a blindfold on me the whole time.

How about when they came in the house?

They had on, like, hats and goggles.

They told me and my mom not to look at them.

We can do this later.

No, dad, I'm okay.

I tried to pay attention to things.

If we got away.

Like voices.

I heard two different ones.

Do you think you can recognize them?

Only the guy I was with when you found me.

He took us to the bathroom.

And I heard him talk on the phone once.

He had headphones on me, but...

I could still hear him.

What did he say?

It was just before he was going to take off with me.

I guess he was talking to the other guy.

He was yelling at him

for coming up with such a stupid plan.

And how it was his fault

that everything got messed up.

And then he took my mom out of the van.

Then I heard her try to scream.

He came back for me.

I thought he was going to hurt me.

He just piled all of this stuff on top of me

and said we were going away.

Connie.

Excuse us.

That phone call happened

right before mrs. Conlan was killed.

Nick was already dead,

so he was talking to somebody else.

Yeah, the genius with the plan.

A mastermind.

What are you willing to do for someone

who helps you find this mastermind?

Your client is in no position to negotiate.

We have mrs. Conlan's blood on his shoes.

His prints in the van and the pet store.

Simple explanation.

Roy is second cousin to nick costas.

He's been sleeping in the store

off and on since it closed.

Came home after being away for a few days.

He found mrs. Conlan dead.

He saw what he thought was a burglar--

"a" for effect, mr. Tyrell.

But we have a witness

who can identify your client's voice.

The young girl?

You sure you want to put her on the stand

so I can cross-ex amine her?

Katie conlan can handle whatever you dish out.

All right.

Let's say you take no position on parole,

and roy gets out in 25 years.

Roy gets out in 30, and only if he gives us

the name of his accomplice.

Well...a name.

A name.

An address.

Some way of finding this person.

You don't know who he is, do you, roy?

It was nick's guy.

And nick didn't tell you anything about him.

So you were just dumb muscle.

Lady, you can kiss my dumb muscle.

(Cutter) I'm sure you'll have plenty of takers

where you're going for the rest of your life.

Good-bye, roy.

Mr. Cutter, before you go

there's a problem locating the warrant

the police used to enter the pet store.

I need it to prepare roy's defense.

Could you send me a copy?

Soon as I get your discovery motion.

(Rubirosa) I had a feeling that warrantless search

was gonna come back and bite us in the ass.

It might not.

If we find the brains behind the kidnapping.

The police have any luck tracing those phone calls?

Yeah, prepaid phone. Brilliant.

This friend of nick just didn't flit

through nick's life without leaving a trace.

Thanks.

We vetted nick's friends, all three of them.

We checked the phone records going back a year.

No mystery man.

Well, maybe you should look for other distant cousins.

(Lupo) Hey, check out all this stuff.

Extra batteries, first aid kit, energy bars.

These guys were in for the long haul.

Any guess what this is?

[Crank winding]

See, they used it to crank open the door

when the power went out.

But the question is, why'd they take it with them?

Yeah, and why would conlan have two in his garage?

The answer is he wouldn't, would he?

Nick and roy brought this one.

They probably didn't leave it behind

because they knew it could be traced back to them.

And how did they know

they were gonna need this thing

to open the garage door in the first place?

Exactly.

Someone matching nick's description

bought this at a securi-door dealer in long island city

two days before the blackout.

They knew there was gonna be a blackout?

Neat trick.

Maybe this missing accomplice

worked at the power company.

You should ask them what caused the blackout.

The official story is

an overload due to peak demand.

I bethunfial story is a lot sexier.

I'll start making calls.

(Mccoy) I noticed you haven't answered

barkin's discovery motion for a search warrant.

You're tracking defense motions?

You must have a lot of free time, jack.

Maybe you can help me update my phone book.

Funny.

So there's a problem with the search warrant?

No problem. No warrant.

The judge wouldn't sign it.

I told the cops to go in anyway.

Mike. There were exigent circumstances!

How was I supposed to know nick costas

had a cousin living in the pet shop

with an expectation of privacy?

Soon as roy barton's lawyer learns

there's no warrant, your whole case goes away.

By the time he finds out,

I'll have the missing accomplice.

I can argue inevitable discovery.

What do you do for fun, mike? Juggle chainsaws?

With my neck on the line?

Who said this is your prosecution?

I'm happy to take the hit.

Just...let me call my own shots.

(Cutter) We talked to the power company, mr. Declan.

The power company said you went offline

during a period of peak demand.

That's what caused the blackout.

They were forced to buy power from another supplier.

What can I say?

We had to shut down for maintenance.

During 110% peak demand.

Machines don't know from peak demand.

I had a recuperator that was about to blow.

I had to take the power company offline

to replace it.

You still have the old recuperator?

Maybe. Why?

The fbI'll want to take a look at it

to see if it was about to blow.

The fbi? What for?

It may be evidence in a kidnapping.

And since this is new jersey,

and the kidnapping took place in new york,

fbi has jurisdiction--

whoa, whoa, whoa! Kidnapping?

They never said anything about a kidnapping.

Who didn't say?

Nobody, I already said too much--

who, mr. Declan?

The guys from energyne.

They bought the plant six months ago.

They told you to go offline?

Yeah, you want to hear it for yourself?

(Man) If you took down the plant,

how long would it take to get it back up?

(Declan) It's not something you want to just

turn on and off every hour, let's put it that way.

(Man) Why don't you just go ahead and shut her down?

(Declan) Right now? The grid's gonna crash.

You'll put lights out all over new york.

(Man) Boo freakin' hoo.

Grandma millie's just gonna have to sit in the dark

with her freakin' cats.

(Declan) That's cold, man.

(Man) You think that's cold,

wait till she gets her power bill

for 300 freaking bucks a megawatt hour.

The other voice belongs to paul kleist,

the vp of energyne.

A vice president of a power company

involved in a kidnapping--come on.

I agree. So what are they up to?

Energyne just buys power plants

to let 'em sit idle?

The plant manager can't figure it out either.

Whatever it is, we're gonna wish it was as cut and dry

as a kidnap-murder.

You mean you're gonna wish.

This is the soup you asked to be in.

Enjoy it.

Ist on tape) Grandma millie's just gonna

have to sit in the dark with her freakin' cats.

So excuse me for not being warm and cuddly.

We own the facility. We can shut it down.

Turn it into a freakin' jellybean factory

if we want to.

I'm not warm and cuddly either, mr. Kleist,

and I'm not going anywhere until i'm satisfied

you had a legitimate reason

to shut down that power plant and cause a blackout.

Mr. Cutter, we came here as a courtesy.

But you have regulatory authority

over an energy facility.

But I do have the authority

to charge mr. Kleist here

as an accomplice to a murder-kidnapping.

You have 24 hours to comply with our subpoena.

After that, the police will be arresting mr. Kleist

and transporting him to the tombs,

where lights out is at 10:00.

It's a long time to sit in the dark.

Thank you for coming in.

I've gotten calls from the ftc,

the energy department,

the city public utilities commission.

Mike's hit them all with subpoenas.

What the hell are you two up to?

Ask mike. I've been in court all day.

This is all from energyne?

(Cutter) Energyne.

Consumers energy watch. Public utility hearings.

Anti-trust commission.

I can't read this.

Well, I can.

Now I'm worried.

Mike, I hope this has some bearing

on the conlan kidnapping.

I'm not sure, but did you know that energyne

twice took its new jersey power plant offline

this summer for unscheduled maintenance ?

The first time resulted in brownout.

That's fascinating.

Yes, and they own another facility in pennsylvania.

They took that one down three times since june.

That resulted in one blackout

and two brownouts.

You'd think energyne would be in the business

of selling power, not not selling it.

There's another company. Delph-power.

They own a power plant in connecticut.

Every time energyne took one of its power plants

offline during peak demand,

new york had to buy its electricity

from delph-power at four times

the going rate.

The two companies are colluding

to manipulate energy prices.

This is from a friend at the sec.

Energyne and delph-power are owned by a consortium.

The majority stakeholder in both companies

is a hedge fund-- mattawin capital.

Oh!

This is good news?

Well, not if you're the chief executive officer

of mattawin capital.

Are you people crazy?

We don't manipulate energy markets.

It's illegal.

Then what did you and mr. Kleist at energyne

discuss on the phone

three days before the blackout,

two days before the brownout before that, and...

Two days before the blackout in july?

And with his counterpart at delph-power

on those very same days.

My wife is dead.

My daughter's having nightmares.

Why don't you solve that crime?

Mr. Conlan, the person who masterminded

the kidnapping knew what you were up to.

They bought tools and supplies

in anticipation of the blackout.

(Rubirosa) It may be someone

in your office.

Someone with access to your phone calls or emails.

For the last time...

The blackout just happened.

Nobody planned it.

Hey, katie.

Hi.

Dad, we have to get going.

I'll be right out, sweetheart.

There's a memorial service for isabel.

How you doing?

Okay.

Went back to school yesterday.

Come on, honey.

I wanted to thank the detectives who saved me,

but I don't know how to get in touch with them.

I'll send you their addresses.

He's not taking us seriously.

Should I call ahead

and have 'em warm up the subpoena machine?

The pet store. They did aquariums?

And terrariums.

"Bob kort aquasystems."

Nice try.

Galaxy o' petsss.

Excuse me.

We were just admiring the aquarium.

Oh, yeah, the fish.

Yeah, the place that set it up, galaxy o' petssss.

I think they went out of business.

Do you remember who they had servicing the tank?

Um, tall guy.

Rick, nick, something.

Who sits here?

One of the I.T. Geeks. Marty.

Marty was friends with nick?

Uh-huh. A couple of fish freaks.

Marty's out sick?

Yes. Since the blackout.

He exchanged a few phone calls with niso what?S

costas was trying to sell me a scorpion fish.

Oh, yeah? How much did he want for it?

You don't believe me.

Ask costas.

Oh, right. He's dead.

(Green) What about what's in your computer, marty?

Evidence you hacked into conlan's emails,

voicemails, pictures of his family, his house.

He's a rich guy.

I wanted to see how he lives and how he works.

How he makes money. Maybe I'd learn something.

Become a rich guy like him.

Just harmless voyeurism.

A simple misdemeanor at most.

That's all marty's guilty of.

Right, he's innocent, but when we found him

he was hiding under a car

in his mother-in-law's garage.

Maybe we got this upside down, ed.

Marty here looks like the mastermind of nothing.

Maybe nick called the shots,

maybe--maybe he kicked marty's ass.

Told him to hop to.

Is that what it is, marty?

You a little worker bee?

You take orders from nick

and rich guys like conlan.

Left by yourself, the best you could do

is grovel in the grease under a car--

they're just trying to provoke you.

We're finished talking.

As dumb as it sounds,

marty has a story, and we can't shake it.

He erased the actual emails he hacked from conlan.

So there's no evidence

he knew the blackout was coming.

And no evidence to connect him to roy barkin.

We need conlan to testify to what was in those e-mails.

Those was confidential internal communications.

We're not obliged to divulge the contents.

You sent those emails to mr. Kleist

just days before the blackout.

We can guess what was in them.

You guessed wrong.

Mr. Conlan, unless we can prove

marty dressler knew you were gonna trigger a blackout,

we might not be able to convict him.

You have barkin.

Can't you leverage him against dressler?

We're not sure how much he knows about dressler.

Even then, the leverage against barkin

might not hold up.

What do you mean? You caught him.

He had my daughter. He killed my wife.

I'm gonna be frank with you, mr. Conlan.

There's a problem with the search

that led to barkin's arrest.

On my authority,

the police went in without a proper warrant.

That's why we need your testimony

to leverage dressler against barkin.

If what you allege about the emails is true,

I'd be admitting to fraud.

I'd go to jail. Katie would be alone.

We can come to terms, mr. Conlan,

if you agree to testify--

it's not just you. It's the feds, the sec.

You can't speak for them. They'd tear me apart.

The people who killed your wife might go free.

[Approaching footsteps]

[Door closes]

[Exhales]

The movers are coming tomorrow.

We have a lot to do by then. Mr. Conlan, please--

look, if you expect me to sacrifice everything

to fix your mistake...

I'm not doing it.

But, hank, these are exceptional circumstances.

No, I haven't talked to albany.

I didn't see the point unless you were on board.

I'm sorry you feel that way, hank.

Sure, good night.

[Hangs up telephone] So that's 0 for five.

The feds won't consider

giving conlan a deal.

(Rubirosa) They'd rather sting up a white-collar criminal

than put two murderers away.

From where they sit,

the murderers only killed two women,

while the white-collar criminal

stole from 8 million voters.

The logic is unassailable.

Why not go after kleist and energyne?

If they fold, conlan might see the writing on the wall

and testify.

The lawyers are stacked ten deep around energyne.

It'll be five years before that case even gets to trial.

You can always hope roy barkin's lawyer

doesn't notice the cops went in without a warrant.

(Rubirosa) Too late.

Wade, huntley and mapp motion is on for tomorrow.

Sometimes there's just one too many chainsaws.

On the bright side,

you can take credit for uncovering

a massive fraud against the citizens of this state.

That's just about money.

Barkin and dressler killed two people.

Do you still have a subpoena pad?

For who?

Conlan's daughter.

I want her in court.

People v. Roy barkin and martin dressler

on for motions.

Mr. Tyrell, you're up first.

Your honor, this is a motion to suppress evidence

seized during the warrantless search of the premises

my client was domiciled in.

For the record,

defendant dressler takes no part in the motion--

you honor-- hold on, counselor.

You'll get your turn to respond to the motion.

Judge, the people have an application

that will obviate the need for defense motions.

Why didn't you say so?

At this time, the people are unable

to sustain the charges

against defendants dressler and barkin.

We move to dismiss the indictment,

reserving the right to re-present at such time

as the evidence will support the charges.

The people's request is granted in its entirety.

Defendants are to be released

and processed out forthwith.

What are you doing? You're letting them go?

I warned you what would happen if you didn't help us.

Let's go. Dad, what does he mean--

not now, sweetie. What does he mean?

I'll tell you, katie. Don't you dare!

She's the victim. She's the one I answer to.

I made a mistake, katie.

And so did your father.

And now I can't make a case against those men

because your father is withholding

a key piece of evidence.

You stop now.

They knew your father was gonna cause a blackout

to drive up electricity prices.

That's why they planned the kidnapping for that day.

But your father won't tell the truth,

because he's afraid of going to jail.

Is that true?

Now, katie...

You're a good, decent person. You want to see justice done.

Dad, they killed isabel. They killed mom.

Katie, they'll take me away from you.

They'll take everything away--

I don't care! You have to help.

They killed mom.

Doesn't that mean anything to you?

Honey, it means everything to me.

But if I'm in jail,

there'll be nobody there for you.

Nobody to take care of you.

Katie, I'll lose you.

I don't want to live with you nobody if you can't tell the truth..

I don't.

You have to tell the truth.

You have to.

The e-mails you refer to contain my instructions

to paul kleist at energyne

to take one of his power plants offline.

An action we both knew would cause a shutdown

of the power grid in new york city.

And why did you direct mr. Kleist

to take such action?

Because it would allow another power plant

owned by my company

to charge above-market rates.

Exorbitant rates.

And mr. Dressler stumbled across

your illegal scheme to defraud the public.

Yes.

What I did was inexcusable.

It was selfish and greedy.

Many people were hurt. Many people.

I'm sorry.

I'm very sorry.

(Cutter) Thank you.

No more questions.

Your witness.

Mr. Conlan--ahem.
