Original subtitles

(Male announcer) 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.

We paid the fine!

Sorry.

Can't you just give me my car?

Look, I can't give you any vehicle

when you're under the influence.

Sonny, sonny...

Please!

No, welready missed a party because we got towed.

Yeah, I know.

You gotta watch those no parking signs

in front of those clubs.

Hey, you could come with us

if you want.

We--if you-- oh, I don't feel so good.

Look, why don't you two go get some coffee

and come back in a few hours, okay?

Look,why don't you give me go get some my god--

[vomiting]

Oh...

Oh, that's beautiful.

Hey, benny, call 911. Anotheone dropped.

No, no, no, no! Uh, don't.

We'll get in trouble. I'll call someone.

Um...

Can I use your phone?

I'm not getting a signal.

Well, you got a lot of problems tonight, huh?

Watch your backs! Coming through!

So you girls were just hitting the clubs?

We just wanted a night in the city.

If the car hadn't be towed, then--

do your parents know where you are?

They're flying backfrom st. th.

I am so screwed.

But she's he. Our daughter's missing.

This isn't like anne-marie.

She's a responsiblkid.

When was the last time you saw her?

At the tow yard.

I called her when I woke up in the ambulance.

She id she was gonna call this college guy

we met at a club.

We've been calling her phone. It just goes to voicemail.

E never turns it off.

It's been almost eight hos.

She doesn't know anyone in the city.

Do you remember this college kid's name?

Brendan.

I think I have his numbe

that's good, right?

You guys'll find her, right?

Yeah, kids coming going a little overboard

we find 'em all the time.

So don't worry. We'll be in contact, all right?

Yeah, we find 'em.

I don't really know her know her.

I just met her and her friend at a club

and invited them to a party.

Her friend said anne-marie called you last night.

Is that right?

Yeah, like, 3:30 in the morning.

For a ride out to scarsdale.

Well, did you give her a ride?

I don't even have a car, man.

I just--i told her to call a cab.

She said she was lost. That was it.

She said she w you just hung up.

Yeah, it was late.

So they were bothclearly une did come to the party.

Of alcohol and god knows what else.

I didn't releasthe vehicle,

and I called the 911 when the mouthy one passed out.

So everything by the book.

The other one, I don't know.

You didn't see where she went?

No, e got all weird when I called the ambulance.

She just tk off.

What, down the highway? Yeah, I guess.

Which direction? North.

So what, you just watched as a drunk teenager

wandered onto the highway?

What am I, supernanny?

Parents went to the press. Calls are flooding in.

Suburban girls.

Anything useful?

Well, two people who saw her on the westside highway.

One saw her getting in a cab.

License plate?

No such luck.

Great, that narrows it down to 13,000 vehicles.

Maybe not-- this witnessays

that there were flowers painted on the taxi.

We're celebrating 100 years of new york taxis.

Kids are painting hoods, roofs, and trunks.

Well, this says

the flowers were only on the trunk.

Maybe some kid slacked off.

All right, call the taxi garages.

See who's got half a paint job.

Yeah, I picked up a girl

around this time on the westside highway.

Is this her?

Maybe her, maybe not her.

I think for sure she was gonna vomit in the car

because she's barely standing up.

But she still managed to hail a cab.

No, no, no, she no hail me. I already have a fare.So '?

The guy in the back, he tell me to stop.

Says he knows her.

Where'd you drop them off?

Very bad hotel.

We have three cameras, but two are broken.

Whoa, whoa, right there. Back it up a little.

A litt more. Right there.

That's good c't really see their faces.

Right there. You know who that is?

(Antonio) That's sugar.

She stays here off and on.

Nice girl.

Meth head hooker, but nice girl.

(Green) What about the dude?

I don't know.

I figured the girl was one of sugar's...Coworkers

and needed a place to sleep it off.

Him, I figured a customer.

Come on, sugar paid his cab fare,

which makes him her pimp.

Did he rent a separate room?

No, he said he was with sugar.

And the other girl, she was conscious or no?

Uh, she could kind of walk a little.

You didn't think it was a good idea to call 911?

Ayou're joking, rig?L gets dragged upstairs by a pimp?

Is sugar in her room?

Nopeshe only paid up till noon today.

All right, we need to see the room.

[Exhales]

Lups.

That could be blood.

Hey, man, this is a crime scene,

so I'm gonna have task you

to step out of the roo all right?

Sure, sure, I know the drill.

I'll send the csu guys up when they get here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Cell phone rings]

It's anne-marie's.

Somebody used it to call suffolk county

this morning at 8:47.

Her name is not sugar.

I's melinda.

Anbefore she called this morning,

we hadn't heard from her in two weeks.

Did she tell you where she was?

She never tells us where she is.

She just asks for money.

How are you supposed to send her the ney

if you don't know where she is?

We say no. We always say no.

We can't enable her.

Every time... It breaks my heart.

She's been thrown out of rehab three times.

Has she ever mentioned any of the...

People she spes time with?

Thjunkies and the pis? No.

Where washe thrown out from most recently?

Parksdale academy.

It's a school for people like melinda.

It was our last hope.

(Green) What's up with the signs?

Wellwe require our students to own their behavior.

I know our methods may seem a little bit unorthodox,

but believe me, we get results.

Not so much r melinda whitman, I guess.

No, not for melinda whitman.

This is nelson's room.

And this is melinda's friend?

Closest thing she's got to one.

[Knock on door]

Stand up.

These are detectives,

and they need to talk to you about melinda.

Okay, we'll take it from here, bro, thanks.

I'll be in my office.

At ease, kid.

Just 'cause you give me a pack of smokes

doesn't mean I'm gonna talk about melinda.

Give 'em back then.

I don't know where she is.

And even if I did, I wouldn't help you

drag her back to this hellhole.

Can you believe my parents

dropped like 50 grand on this place?

We just want to talk to her, bro.

Either way, I don't know where she is.

But you're from the city. She's not.

I'm betting you hooked her up with someone.

How do you know I'm from the city?

I also see here you were arrested

for possession of meth.

Melinda likes meth. She would need a dealer.

And so will you when you get out of he.

But after we round up every dealer you came near

antell 'em you sent us...

One, I might have hooked her up with one.

Have your money straight. Have your money straight, man.

Same price as yesterday.

Price ain't changed, price ain't changed.

(Lupo) Stop!

Hey, hey, hey! What's your rush, lysol!

Come on, I ain't do nothing, man.

You didn't do nothing. They always say that.

I ain't do nothing, man.

This kind of nothing will get you 8 to 12, bro.

Man, I want my lawyer. I got a lawyer.

All right, slow down. Slow down, lysol.

That might not be necessary.

We're just looking for a client of yours.

A white girl named sugar.

I ain't seen her in a while.

All right, all right, aall right, all right,.

All right, all right.

Sometimes I leave ssages for hr

up on 125.

Oh, yeah? Well, give her a call.

Tell her you want her meet you there.

Hey, what am I supposed to say?

Tell her you're having a two-for-one sale.

Did you see those parents, man?

Must be rough.

Which ones?

The ones with the daughter

who went partying and never me back?

Or the ones with melinda who rned into sugar?

It's like what?

A big house, a pile of money, a perfect life

it's too boring or...

Try me.

Hey. Hey, lysol.

Melinda whitman, we need to talk to you downtown.

Lyso you son of a bitch!

It's all right.

I don't know her. Bitch!

No, her name is anne-marie liscomb.

And this is a picture of her going into the hotel

where you were staying.

Well, a lot of people stay there.

And this is a picture

of you going outside to pay her cab fare.

You're in the habit of paying for stranger's taxis?

Who's the guy in the picture, melinda?

I don't know.

He handed me some money

and thenold me to go give it to the cab driver.

The girl was really wasted so I-I helped them out.

That's all. What?

Melinda, you ain't helping yourself here.

Thonly way you can do that is tell us the truth.

At is the truth.

Look, we found ae-marie's blood in your hotel room.

So if ain't gonna help us find the guy

that carried her up there,

the whole thing gets pinned on you.

I didn'do anything.

Oh, this guy--this guy must be a real prince.

Tell us who the guy is, melinda,

and we can protect you.

Quit calling me melinda. My name is sugar.

No, your name is melinda.

Yeah, you called your parents to ask for money,

but you also called them to let them know

that you're still alive,

because you know they give a damn.

And somewhere in your little black heart,

you give a damn too.

[Door opens]

They just found something near the hotel.

Over here.

[Lupo exhales]

See? We find 'em.

I saw her parents on the news.

Yeah, they're on their way down here.

Ugh.

Well, there's evidence

of both anal and vaginal penetration.

We got fluids to run for dna.

Cause of death was ligature strangulation.

Could be an elec[Cell phone beeps]

There's also blunt force trauma to the head,

which bled profusely.

He's not a very nice guy, whoever he is.

Now all we have to do

is get his girlfriend to ge him up.

That's easier said than done.

Looks like melinda's parents gave up

on that whole toh love thing.

They sprang for a wyer. Later.

If you don't intend to charge my client,

i want her released immediately.

Your client is being heldas.

She's entitled to a hearing on that issue.

D I'll oppose the district attorney's application.

Fine, then we'll arrest her.

She's a victim.

You know she's a victim.

I don't know that at all.

Melinda, anne-marie was raped and sodomized

before she was murdered.

Now you know who diat.

You can stop himfrom doing it a.

If you'reorried about getting in trouble yourself,

we can talk to the d.a., maybe make a deal.

Ms. Whitman not interested in a deal.

She's interested in goingome.

So we charge her.

I mean, if we gotta charge her, let's just charge r.

The one we want is the guy she's protecting.

We wave murder at he she'll give him up.

Or martyr herself for him.

All right, how about this?

We just let her go.

He's out there, so put her out there.

Romeo and juliet seek each other out.

Alright, but you two stay on her

like white on rice.

We should call the surgeon general

to get her a warning.

How ma is that?

That's like three hours worth.

Looks like romeo ain't in no hurry.

Know what?

I got an idea to goose juliet.

[Door beeping]

Hey, kid.

I want you to run this note up to that girl.

See that girl sitting up on the staircase right there?

And give it her. Don't tell her it's from me.

[Door beeping]

You gotta tell me what the note said.

Said, "think a bitch can rat me out and run away?"

[Laughing]

Think it was too much? No.

Might make her hide from him.

Might make her run to him to set the record straight.

All righ here she goes.

[Engine revving]

[Train passing by]

[Melinda muttering]

Yo!

I didn't rat you out. I wouldn't do that.

What are you talking about?

I wouldn't do it. What are you talking about? Wh note are you--

put your hands where I can see 'em!

Put your hands up! Keep 'em up!

You set me up? No!

Tito, I didn't! You set me up.

No, tito, I didn't! You bitch!

I didn't set you up!

That ain't me.

That ain't nobody; You can't see the face.

Yeah, well, we got your taxi driver coming down here

to I.d. your ass.

And we got dna fromom dead girl,

which we'll be matching to you

as soon as we get a court order to put a needle in your arm.

So we went upstairs together. So what?

Girl knew what she wanted. No crime in that.

The girl was so drunk she could hardly stand up.

No, man, she just codn't keep her hands off me.

[Chuckling]

Who said she was drunk?

Sugar?

That bitch is jealous is all.

At what, you having another woman in her room

or something else?

Girl needs to be put in her place sometime.

Needs reminding that tito a't a one-woman man.

[Chuckling] I didn't think

she'd eliminate the competition though.

So you put your girlfriend in her place

by raping and sodomizing a drunk high school girl. Whoa.

And then you got the balls to accuse her of murder.

Who's talking about rape?

Everything I did to anne-marie she was begging for.

And when it was over, I left her satisfied.

And alive.

You'u're tellinge you have no idea

how that girl would up in that dumpster?

Could've been any number of situations.

It's not the best part of town, you know.

Could've been some stick up kids.

But tell you the truth, my money's on sugar.

She is one jealous skank.

Can't stand it when tito gets his sugar somewhere else.

Tito's fan club followed him down here.

Sugar?

Interview one.

Let's go tell her he said hey.

Hey, I need to talk to tito.

He's a little busy right now.

Yeah, I need to talk to him.

Busy telling us that you murdered anne-marie.

He wouldn't say that.

Do you want us to call your attorney, melinda?

No.

I know're lying to me, anyway.

Yeah?

Does this look like we're lying?

Melinda whitman, you're under arrest

for the murder of anne-marie liscomb.

Why are you surprised he'd rat you out?

He brought another woman into your room,

made you pay her cab--

tito loves me.

Okay, listen, you owhat, melinda?

It's better this way. You'll be safer at rikers.

When we pickck up tito, he had a .22 in his pocket.

He was gunning for you for telling us about him.

I didn't. Hey, you know I didn't.

He figured you did it because you were jealous.

Jealous he had a better wom.

You don't understand anything. Yeah?

He told me that screwing her after screwing you

was like trading up from a dump truck to a caddy.

He said at least, "she didn't just lie there

like a junkie skank."

He's lying.

He killeher.

[Sobbing he made me watch

while he raped her in my room.

And en he killed her.

You just watched?

He made me stay in the room.

I was afraid to leave.

I was afraid he'd kill me too.

Ti cabassa, you're under arrest

for the murder of anne-marie liscomb.

Why? What'd she say?

What didhe tell you?

Sugar!

Sugar!

You lying bitch! Where are you, huh?

You lying whore-- yeah, I see you!

I see you, you lying bitch! What did you tell them?

What did you say?

You damn, stup, lying junkie whore!

Docket number 33972. People v. Melinda whitman.

Hindering prosecution in the third degree.

And ask that bail be set at a reasonable amount.

People have no objection to bail.

In that case bail is set at $5,000.

[Gavel bangs]

(Clerk) Docket number 33977.

People v. Tito cabassa, murder in the second degree.

(Judge) How does the defendant plead?

We plead not guilty, your honor.

As to bail?

People seek remand.

The defendant has no permanent residence or employment.

He brutally murdered a young woman

in full view of a witness--

that's a lie! Tito, I'm sorry!

(Judge alden) Order! I love you!

Order!

(Bocanegra) Your honor,the people's case is built on fraudulent claims

made by a so-called eyewitness whose statement was coerced.

For the moment, ms. Bocanegra your cent is remanded.

You can revisit the issue of bail

after the suppression hearing.

[Gavel bangs]

(Bocanegra) Linda whitman only implicated my client

after the police engaged in a series

of improper and fraudulent acts.

Starting with this.

"Think a bitch can rat me out and run away?"

My clit didn't write that. The police did.

And had it delivered to ms. Whitman.

The police are allowed to use trickery

to provoke a statement.

They're not allowed to convince a witness

that a suspect intends to kill her

provoking her to lie

to get him safely locked up.

Call me crazy, mr. Cutter, but I am inclined to agree.

Is that what happened?

Uh, we haven't had a chance

to interview the lice officers involved.

Did they write thi

i believe they did, yes.

Ah.

This renders ms. Whitman's statement so incredible

that it would be unduly predicial

to allow it intovidence.

Credibility is a matter for the jury to decide.

You can attack ms. Whitman and her statement

on cross.

I don't need to attack her. She alreadrecanted.

All right.

It looks like your detectives

ve crossed the line, counselors.

Ms. Whitman's statement against mr. Cabassa

is suppressed.

You didn't think telling her

he was gonna shoot her

would come back and bite us in the ass?

We needed to find the guy.

That was item one on the agenda.

Well, item two is gonna be watching him walk out of jail.

We still have the surveillance video

of him hauling the victim into the hotel.

You can't see his face.

But you can see his clothes,

and we found those clothes at another one of his cribs.

We still have the victim's blood

in the room tito was in.

Melinda's room,

and he claims melinda killed her.

Could raise reasonable doubt.

Melinda didn't rape and sodomize that girl.

Look, I'm not saying the guy didn't do it.

I just want enough evidence to naihim six times over.

If he walks, I'm gonna feel

like an accomplice the next time he does this.

What about other witnesses? Who else was in that hotel?

There's a woman that was staying next door.

Tabitha mundy.

She just turned up

at a battered women's shelter in the bronx.

(Tabitha) I knew it was sugar staying next door.

We ai't close or nothing,

but I known r from the street.

Did you see anybody elseere?

No.

Sure heard some noises, though.

Uh, somebody was having a time.

(Cutter) There was a man in there with sugar.

And another woman--

what I said.

I only seen sugar, though.

It was wheshe was in the hallway

dumping her trash down the air shaft.

It was after the noise alend.

She's always so higand mighty.

She even used some designer bag for her trash.

Please.

Ain't no such thing as a high class junkie.

Did she say anything when you saw her?

No.

I think my man went over there, though.

Timmy was always like to be going over there.

Where can we find timmy?

Bronx central lockup thanks to this.

This time, I'm pressing charges.

(Timmy) This girl, she's the one that was on the news?

That's right.

Did you see her in the hotel that night?

You know, uh, I think I might have.

You might have?

Well, you know, being in jail and all,

everything's so crowded.

If the room was, a little, uh, emptier.Ble

it's not that cwded.

Mike, uh, why don't you wait outside

and I'll handle this?

You sure? Yeah.

[Door opens]

Well, this is so much better, isn't it?

This isn't a date, timmy.

Do you know anything?

Uh, I saw tito. He was there.

We know that. Did you see the girl?

You know my woman called the cops on me

for smacking her around a little.

The thing is, when they arrested me,

i had a smalamount of a controlled substance

on my person.

And you want a deal.

If that worry was off my mind,

memories could just come pouring out.

(Delgado) So, jack, what brings you north of the border?

The anne-marie liscomb case.

One of your defendants is a potential witss.

But he won't sing wiout a deal?

He want a drug possession charge dropped.

He'll plead to misdemeanor assault.

What did my a.D.A. Say?

He said no.

Trying to keep his batting average up, I guess.

Well, I do try to keep my people motivated.

This was a heinous crime, juan.

It's in everyone's interest

to have a successful prosecution.

You know, jack, I'm a little surprised

you were even able to find your way up here

on that white horse of yours.

Look, I know we've had our differences--

cultural differences.

I live in the real world. You live in a higher plane.

I appreciate that.

A higher plane?

I've been prosecuting down and dirty in the trenches

since you were--

since I was what?

A backroom fixer for a political machine?

I wasn't going to say that.

I'll tell you what, jack.

One of my bureau chiefs lives on the upper westside.

And he has a problem

with alternate side of the street parking.

So if I fix his parking tickets,

you'll help me convict a rapist-murderer?

De.

I could hear the two of them arguing,

tito and sugar,

through this wall, middle of the night.

What were they arguing about?

I couldn't make out the words,

but I figured it must've been about him

bringing that other girl around.

Did yosee the other girl?

No, I just heard h.

And then I heard tito leave.

That's when I made my move.

What move? On sugar.

I heard thfight.

I know tito treats her pretty bad,

so I thought maybe she was in need of,

uh, some consolation.

You know what I'm saying?

(Cutr) What happened then?

So I come out in the hall and I knocked on the door,

and sure enough, she was alone.

What about anne-marie? Where was she?

She was down the hall in the bathroom

just like sugar said.

Did sugar let you into the room?

Tried to, but she kept me out.

I could tell she was hiding something.

She kept looking back at a bag

sticking out from under the bed.

Itas like one of tse big duffel bags, you know?

Could you see what was in it? Make out a shape?

Well, I thought maybe it was a dog.

You know, they don't all 'em in the hotel,

but it wasn't the first time sugar tried to sneak one in.

What made you think it was a dog?

Well, I could see it moving.

Kind of moving inside the bag and sort of yelping.

Did sugar see that?

The thing moving inside the bag?

Unless she was blind and deaf, sure.

Oh, my god, anne-marie was still alive.Ks.

And melinda was alone with her.

Timmy's girlfriend said

she saw her dumping something down the air shaft

aftetito went out.

She saw her dumping something down tcall lupo and green.

Yeah.

Here's your murder weapon.

We found it in the trash heap at the bottom of the shaft.

Inside a borsini's bag.

Prints on the bag and the hairdryer

match melinda whitman.

And that's anne-marie's blood on the cord.

What about tito's prints?

No, just melinda's.

She killed anne-marie.

Tito thoughte did.

He went out to find a place to dump the body.

While he was gone, melinda saw her moving,

finished her off.

Yep.

[Tires squealing]

What's going on?

Step aside, sir.

For the murderof anne-marie lis. You're under arrest

no, what are you doing?

I didn't do anything.

Mom? Daddy!

[Melinda sobbing]

Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy!

(Cutter) Mr. Gardner.

I understand you wor

for the sanitation department.

Going on 19 years.

And you have three children.

Two boys and girl.

Any of them ever have a bruswith theaw?

Never.

They know they'd have more to woy about

than the law if that happened.

Very good.

Now you understand that in this case

there are two defendants, and the jury

will have to consider each defendant separately?

Yes, sir, I understand.

No objections to m m gardner.

Mr. Campbell, have you ever been arrested?

Once in 2004

during the republican convention.

What were I was protesting.Stance

i ended up spending three nights at pier 57

without being charge just for exercising

my first amendment rights.

Thanks.

What do you think?

I wouldn't.

He's got a chip on his shoulder.

I don't know.

There's something about hii like.

No objection to mr. Campbell, your honor.

Tito's lawyer just called. He wants a deal.

Already? He's no fool.

He's figured out that the jury convict the hispanic pimpe.

And acquit e pretty white girl.

He'll plead to rape and attempted murder

and testify against melinda.

I think we can get them both for murder.Rder

isn't attempted murder what he actually did?

Your theory is the girl finished off the victim.

They're accomplices. They're both guilty.

But she might walk if we don't get his testimony.

And if we do, how's that gonna look?

Pimps, drug dealers, and prosecutors

all lined up against this poor, helpless rl.

So make it not look that way.

How long after you saw that bag moving

d you hear mr. Cabassa return to the hotel?

I don't know.

Must've been at lst an hour.

And after melinda whitman went down the hall

with her garba, you heard no more yelping

from her room.

(Timmy) No.

The girl must've been dead by th.

Move to strike.

If I'd known what was going on,

i wou've saved her.

I feel reaterrible--

that's enough, mr. Cerco.

The jury will disregard his last two statements.

Nothing further.

(Rothenberg) You were arrested last month...

For drug possession

and assaulting your girlfriend, correct?

Yeah, but the drug charge was dropped.

In return for your testimony here today.

Well, that's the way the system works.

In fact, if you didn't if you didn't offer information

the prosecution could use in this trial,

there wouldn't have been a deal.

Isn't that right?

If I couldn't scratch their back,

why would they scratch mine?

Timmy came off as an opportunistic

criminal piece of crap.

He ian opportunistic criminal piecef crap,

and tomorrow we've got another one testifying for us.

Tito. Hey, why don't you do tito's direct?

Really? Absolutely. The feminine touch.

Something to soften this for the jury.

(Rubirosa) Mr. Cabassa, why did you bring anne-marie

back to melinda's room?

To be honest, there was a lot of places we could've gone,

but...i wanted to make sugar--

melinda...

I wanted to make her jealous.

You wanted to put her in her place.

Yeah, you know.

Show her she ain't the only

hot little white girl out there.

Did you have sex show her she ainwith anne-marie?

Yes, ma'am, I did.

Even though saw on the surveillance tape

she was too drunk to walk.

Yeah, you could say I took advantage of her.

I would say that, yes.

What about melinda? Where was she?

Told her to go take a walk.

But she didn't want to leave me alone with anne-marie.

She stayed.

(Rubirosa) So she watched.

She watched while you raped

and sodomized anne-marie liscomb.

(Tito) Her choice.

Then what happened?

An-marie started getting all hinky.

Saying she wanted to go home and all.

What'd you do?

She was getting loud,

so I tried covering her mouth, but she got ay.

She was going for the door.

I grabbed her and shoved her down.

That's when she hit her head on the table.

And there was blood everywhere.

I thought she was dead.

Did you try to revive her?

Yeah, but...I mean, she was gone.

Or I thought she was.

Did you or melinda call for medical help?

I thought I killed her. Sugar--

melinda, she didn't want an ambulance either.

She said it served me right for cheating on her.

So what did you do?

We crammed her

in this big bag sugar uses for clothes.

Then I went out to look for a place

where we could ditch the body.

And when you left,

where was melinda?

She stayed in the room with the body.

And she was still there when you got back?

Yeah, she was there.

Alone with the body.

Thank you, mr. Cabassa.

You did great.

Thanks.

Looks like somebody else agrees with you.

Who?

I don't know. Anonymous e-mail.

"Amazing performance in court today.

Great legs and sma. You're the total package."

I completely agree.

You ready to cross melinda?

No, you know, you do it, mike.

You've got great legs too.

[Grunts]

(Melinda) At else was I supposed to do?

(Cutter) Besides watching

an innocent young woman beed?

How about trying to stop your boyfriend?

How about calling for help?

How about calling the police?

Tito wouldn't let me.

Did he try to stop you?

He would have. He killed that girl.

He would have killed me too.

He didn't kill her, melinda.

She was still alive

after you shoved her into that duffel bag.

That's not true.

Timmy cerco saw her moving.

He heard her. Well, he lied.

We all know why he lied.

Did he?

You didn't like anne-marie

being in yr room, did you?

Not inhat way. Of course not.

It was hard for you to see her with tito, wasn't it?

Yeah, a little.

Especially since she was so much like y.

She was nothing like me.

Well, maybe not now,

but like you were before the drugs.

Before the streets.

I was never like her.

Before you get all messed up.

I was never that stupid.

Before you turned into a junkie skank.

Your honor.

Anne-marie reminded tito of what you used to be.

No.

That's why he wanted her.

She threw herself at him.

You were glad when you thought he killed her, weren't you?

I didn't care. She meant nothing to me.

When you realized he hadn't killed her,

you finishedhe job.

You got rid of her.

[Breathing heavily]

I just wanted her to leave tito alone.

[Sobbing] I wanted her gone!

Uh, one fashionella, please.

Thank you.

[Sniffs]

Hi.

I'm sorry, mister-- campbell.

I can't speak to you outside the courtroom.

Oh, I know. I'sorry.

I just wanted to say

that I hope u'll get to do more questioning,

because you we really good.

This is inpropriate.

I'm sorry.

Good-bye

I called in te services I'm and had that e-mail traced.

E-mail?

"Great legs?" Oh.

Let me guess. Juror number eight.

How did you know that?

He'been looking you out since voir dire.

Well, he approached me on the street last night.

Did you talk to him?

No, he talked to me,

but I can't believe you didn't tell me that.

Tell you what? A man finds you attractive?

It's a fairly common occurrence, connie.

That's why you seated him.

That's why you had me do tito's cross.

I don't appreciate being pimped out to the jury.

Connie, what about our meeting with timmy cerco

you threw me out of the room

cause he was luing after you.

You used your sexuality to get what you wanted.

All I did was ask you to leave,

and then I conducted that interview

exactly as I would have

if you hadn't been there in theirst place.

If you say so, fine.

What do you want to do about mr. Campbell?

We should tell the judge.

What, that he loed at yo that he said hello?

It was inappropriate communication.

You did nothing inappropriate.

If we tell the judge and she declares a mistrial,

we're throwing away our best shot at melinda whitman.

She practically confessed on the stand today,

and she won't do it again.

It's not the point.

It's the only point.

Jack, are you gonna say someing?

Jurors are people.Lawyers are p.

They have reactions.

We could put you in a burqa.

Jack.

Or hire robots to try cases.

Until then, we use what we he.

By the way, your jury's back.

It's your call.

Go listen to the verdict, or...Talk to the judge.

Whatever you want.

[Chair scrapes on floor]

(Judge moretti) Madame forewoman, have you reached a verdict?

We have, your honor.

On the charge of murder in the second degree,

how do you find?

(Forewoman) We find the defendant guilty.

Obbing]

[Judge pnds gavel]

Connie don't.
