00:00:06,359 --> 00:00:08,270
NARRATOR:
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:08,328 --> 00:00:12,208
the people are represented
by two separate
yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:12,265 --> 00:00:14,040
the police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:14,100 --> 00:00:16,808
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:16,870 --> 00:00:18,543
These are their stories.
6
00:00:20,006 --> 00:00:21,611
She hasn't been to work
all week.
7
00:00:21,675 --> 00:00:24,178
I wondered
why she hadn't
picked up her mail.
8
00:00:25,913 --> 00:00:27,187
Hello?
9
00:00:28,082 --> 00:00:29,755
Anybody home?
10
00:00:30,885 --> 00:00:33,229
Miss Edwards?
It's the super.
11
00:00:33,287 --> 00:00:36,268
Lisa? It's Scott.
Are you there?
12
00:00:38,225 --> 00:00:41,365
I'll give you two minutes,
my soaps are on.
13
00:00:42,229 --> 00:00:43,833
I didn't know
she was moving.
14
00:00:44,498 --> 00:00:46,136
She was
thinking about it.
15
00:00:47,201 --> 00:00:48,441
Lisa?
16
00:00:50,304 --> 00:00:51,442
Lisa?
17
00:01:04,553 --> 00:01:06,396
All right if I store
her stuff in the basement?
18
00:01:06,454 --> 00:01:08,195
I got awaiting list
a mile long
for these apartments.
19
00:01:08,256 --> 00:01:11,294
No, no, no.
Put that down.
And don't touch anything.
20
00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:12,804
I'm calling her folks.
21
00:01:14,262 --> 00:01:16,401
BRISCOE: This is
what happens when the
murder rate goes down.
22
00:01:16,464 --> 00:01:17,772
I don't know,
I think it's kind of nice
23
00:01:17,832 --> 00:01:19,277
not lookin' at
a dead body for a change.
24
00:01:19,334 --> 00:01:21,814
Still they could've
sent Missing Persons.
25
00:01:21,870 --> 00:01:22,940
I don't know
if you've noticed,
26
00:01:23,004 --> 00:01:25,450
but Missing Persons
is kind of busy right now.
27
00:01:30,245 --> 00:01:32,953
Well, looks like she said
to hell with her stuff
and just took off.
28
00:01:33,014 --> 00:01:34,288
I don't blame her.
29
00:01:34,349 --> 00:01:37,023
Isn't moving one of
the seven major traumas?
30
00:01:37,085 --> 00:01:39,691
Death, divorce, colonoscopy.
31
00:01:39,754 --> 00:01:41,598
What do we know
about this girl?
32
00:01:41,657 --> 00:01:46,572
Lisa Edwards, 24, 5'7",
blonde, green eyes, slim.
33
00:01:46,629 --> 00:01:48,666
Went missing
about a week ago.
34
00:01:49,699 --> 00:01:51,770
Her wallet's still here.
35
00:01:53,903 --> 00:01:56,315
And make-up's
on the dresser.
36
00:01:58,975 --> 00:02:00,283
Toothbrush.
37
00:02:00,810 --> 00:02:03,950
So we're
looking for a girl with
no make-up and fuzzy teeth.
38
00:02:04,013 --> 00:02:05,754
Overnight bag's
still in the bathroom.
39
00:02:05,815 --> 00:02:07,726
She's travelin'
awful light.
40
00:02:07,783 --> 00:02:10,059
Well, it looks like
somebody's trying
to get a hold of her.
41
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,360
(BEEPS)
42
00:02:12,421 --> 00:02:14,560
EDWARDS: Lisa, it's Dad.
Are you there?
43
00:02:14,957 --> 00:02:16,197
Hello ?
44
00:02:16,859 --> 00:02:19,499
Honey, if you're home,
please pick up.
45
00:02:21,130 --> 00:02:22,371
Still no answer.
46
00:02:22,432 --> 00:02:23,706
(PHONE DISCONNECTS)
47
00:03:13,951 --> 00:03:16,227
We called you people
every day for a week
48
00:03:16,287 --> 00:03:17,960
before we got anyone
to pay attention.
49
00:03:18,022 --> 00:03:20,696
We finally had to
contact a friend of ours
who knows the Commissioner.
50
00:03:20,758 --> 00:03:22,601
And we're very sorry
about that.
51
00:03:22,660 --> 00:03:26,301
But now we have these two
experienced detectives
working the case.
52
00:03:26,464 --> 00:03:28,137
And what have you
found out?
53
00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:30,975
There's no evidence that
anything happened to your
daughter in her apartment.
54
00:03:31,402 --> 00:03:32,676
Oh, thank God.
55
00:03:32,737 --> 00:03:35,240
But do you have any idea
who might have taken her?
56
00:03:35,306 --> 00:03:37,786
Right now,
we don't know
that she was taken.
57
00:03:37,842 --> 00:03:40,618
She may have
gone off with someone,
or gone off on her own.
58
00:03:40,678 --> 00:03:44,320
You don't understand
She's our only child.
59
00:03:44,683 --> 00:03:47,254
We talk on the phone
at least twice a week.
60
00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:49,356
Lisa would've called us
if everything is all right.
61
00:03:49,421 --> 00:03:51,526
Something must've happened
to her.
62
00:03:51,857 --> 00:03:54,633
It looked like she was
packing up her apartment.
63
00:03:54,693 --> 00:03:56,832
EDWARDS:
Well, she's moving
back home, temporarily.
64
00:03:56,895 --> 00:03:57,999
Is there a problem?
65
00:03:58,063 --> 00:04:00,236
Her job's ending.
She's going to
stay with us
66
00:04:00,299 --> 00:04:01,539
while she looks
for another one.
67
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,079
VAN BUREN: What type of work
does she do?
68
00:04:03,135 --> 00:04:05,081
She's an aide in
Elliot Judson's office.
69
00:04:05,270 --> 00:04:07,307
State Senator
Elliot Judson.
70
00:04:07,773 --> 00:04:09,775
Was she upset
about losing this job?
71
00:04:09,842 --> 00:04:11,446
Maybe a little anxious.
72
00:04:11,510 --> 00:04:13,251
What are you suggesting?
73
00:04:13,445 --> 00:04:16,255
Has your daughter ever
had any trouble
with drugs?
74
00:04:16,315 --> 00:04:18,317
No, not at all, never.
75
00:04:18,584 --> 00:04:20,291
What about depression?
76
00:04:20,352 --> 00:04:23,857
Lisa's a very cheerful,
positive person,
77
00:04:23,923 --> 00:04:25,402
who works out,
takes good care of herself.
78
00:04:25,892 --> 00:04:27,667
How about boyfriends?
79
00:04:27,727 --> 00:04:29,070
No one special.
80
00:04:29,362 --> 00:04:33,003
There's one young man at work
she seems fond of, though.
Scott Purdy.
81
00:04:33,066 --> 00:04:34,374
EDWARDS: Yeah.
He's the one who called us
82
00:04:34,434 --> 00:04:35,970
when she didn't
show up at the office.
83
00:04:36,035 --> 00:04:37,810
So we asked him
to check on her.
84
00:04:37,871 --> 00:04:41,375
Okay, we'll interview him,
keep you up to date.
85
00:04:41,441 --> 00:04:42,715
Where can you be reached?
86
00:04:42,776 --> 00:04:44,653
We're staying with
friends in town,
87
00:04:44,711 --> 00:04:47,282
but we're not leaving
without our daughter.
88
00:04:50,316 --> 00:04:52,091
SCOTT: So you think
she might still be okay?
89
00:04:52,152 --> 00:04:54,291
Is there any reason
to think that she isn't?
90
00:04:54,354 --> 00:04:56,197
Well, I know
how these things go.
91
00:04:56,256 --> 00:04:58,930
The more time passes,
the longer the odds.
92
00:04:58,992 --> 00:05:01,563
So, uh, how long have
you two known each other?
93
00:05:01,628 --> 00:05:03,666
Oh, we're friends.
Huh.
94
00:05:04,064 --> 00:05:06,374
Her parents thought it
might've been more
than that.
95
00:05:07,268 --> 00:05:08,770
Uh...
96
00:05:10,004 --> 00:05:11,813
Well, we hang out
after work sometimes,
97
00:05:11,872 --> 00:05:13,283
but that's about
as far as it goes.
98
00:05:13,340 --> 00:05:15,047
So who does
she go out with?
99
00:05:15,109 --> 00:05:16,588
(STUTTERS)
I don't know.
100
00:05:16,644 --> 00:05:20,057
Come on, Scott.
A girl that pretty has got
to be going out with somebody.
101
00:05:20,147 --> 00:05:21,626
I'm telling you.
I don't know.
102
00:05:21,682 --> 00:05:24,993
And Lisa,
she doesn't really like to
talk about her private life.
103
00:05:25,052 --> 00:05:27,225
Anyway, it's not like
I really wanted to
hear about other guys,
104
00:05:27,288 --> 00:05:28,426
you know what I mean?
105
00:05:28,489 --> 00:05:29,695
BRISCOE: You like her.
106
00:05:29,757 --> 00:05:31,828
I'm not her type.
107
00:05:32,259 --> 00:05:34,296
So what about
losing her job?
She upset about it?
108
00:05:34,361 --> 00:05:36,841
Well, she's been temping
on something she thought
would pan out.
109
00:05:36,897 --> 00:05:38,035
BRISCOE: What's that?
110
00:05:38,098 --> 00:05:40,203
Something for one
of the state agencies.
111
00:05:40,267 --> 00:05:42,076
But you should really
talk to Senator Judson.
112
00:05:42,136 --> 00:05:44,310
He'd probably know
more about that
than I do.
113
00:05:45,173 --> 00:05:46,777
I hope nothing
happened to her.
114
00:05:47,342 --> 00:05:49,822
Lisa was, uh...
I mean, is very
115
00:05:50,212 --> 00:05:52,590
bright, ambitious,
career-oriented.
116
00:05:52,647 --> 00:05:54,285
And I'd love to keep her,
but I can't.
117
00:05:54,349 --> 00:05:55,419
ED: Why is that?
118
00:05:55,484 --> 00:05:57,657
Well, the grant for her
position was only for
a year.
119
00:05:57,719 --> 00:06:00,131
Scott Purdy said
she was working
on something
120
00:06:00,188 --> 00:06:01,792
that might
get her a new job.
121
00:06:01,857 --> 00:06:04,269
She was doing
some research on the
state gaming legislation.
122
00:06:04,326 --> 00:06:05,634
ED: Upstate gambling?
123
00:06:05,694 --> 00:06:07,537
Lisa was putting
some numbers together
124
00:06:07,596 --> 00:06:10,008
on the impact
casinos would have
on resorts in that area.
125
00:06:10,065 --> 00:06:11,135
For who?
126
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:13,008
A senior staffer in the
Lieutenant Governor's office.
127
00:06:13,068 --> 00:06:14,069
Don Hamilton.
128
00:06:14,903 --> 00:06:16,905
We desperately need
a controlled expansion
129
00:06:16,972 --> 00:06:18,383
of legal gambling
in this state.
130
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,717
We've been hemorrhaging jobs
and money to Atlantic City
and Connecticut.
131
00:06:21,776 --> 00:06:24,417
My partner's done
a little bleeding
in both places.
132
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,460
Her boss said she was
crunching numbers for you.
133
00:06:26,516 --> 00:06:29,190
We've been working overtime
on drafting the legislation.
134
00:06:29,252 --> 00:06:31,892
Lisa's been a big help.
She's intelligent,
hard working.
135
00:06:31,954 --> 00:06:34,230
Easy on the eyes, too.
I don't follow you.
136
00:06:34,290 --> 00:06:36,861
You having
a personal relationship
with her, Mr. Hamilton?
137
00:06:36,926 --> 00:06:40,601
Sadly enough, strictly
professional, Detective.
138
00:06:40,663 --> 00:06:42,734
Now if you'll excuse me,
I have a meeting to attend.
139
00:06:42,798 --> 00:06:44,971
We may have
some more questions.
140
00:06:45,034 --> 00:06:46,308
Call my office.
141
00:06:47,904 --> 00:06:50,748
We checked the hospitals
and the morgue again
and came up empty.
142
00:06:50,806 --> 00:06:52,149
Where the hell is
this girl?
143
00:06:52,208 --> 00:06:54,882
She was either snatched
off the street by
some psychopath,
144
00:06:54,944 --> 00:06:56,355
wrong place,
wrong time...
145
00:06:56,412 --> 00:06:58,858
Yeah. And she was just
all packed up and
ready to go?
146
00:06:58,915 --> 00:07:01,521
Yeah. Well, I'll tell you,
I'm not buying that
scenario, either.
147
00:07:01,584 --> 00:07:03,427
Or she has a boyfriend
that we don't know about.
148
00:07:03,486 --> 00:07:05,296
Well, what about this
kid, Purdy?
149
00:07:05,355 --> 00:07:07,494
Claims their relationship
was platonic.
150
00:07:07,558 --> 00:07:10,869
Lieutenant? I got
the results back on
Lisa Edwards' credit cards.
151
00:07:10,928 --> 00:07:13,670
Only activity was from one
that wasn't in her wallet.
152
00:07:13,730 --> 00:07:15,937
Well, maybe
she was going away.
153
00:07:15,999 --> 00:07:17,501
Looks like
she got her hair done.
154
00:07:23,106 --> 00:07:26,849
Yeah. Saturday before last.
11:15. Trim and a blow-out.
155
00:07:26,910 --> 00:07:28,890
Do you remember
what you talked about?
156
00:07:29,479 --> 00:07:30,753
Not really.
157
00:07:30,814 --> 00:07:33,454
I think
she said she might be
leaving town for awhile.
158
00:07:33,517 --> 00:07:34,655
Like, a vacation?
159
00:07:34,718 --> 00:07:37,528
No. More like moving.
Relocating.
160
00:07:37,588 --> 00:07:38,999
How did she seem to you?
161
00:07:39,323 --> 00:07:40,461
Fine.
162
00:07:40,524 --> 00:07:42,765
ED: Did she talk about
any of the men in her life?
163
00:07:43,093 --> 00:07:44,732
I got the feeling
there was a guy,
164
00:07:44,796 --> 00:07:49,108
but she never spoke
about him, which was
kind of weird, I thought.
165
00:07:49,334 --> 00:07:50,745
Why is that?
166
00:07:51,002 --> 00:07:54,575
Most of my clients can't
shut up about their
sex lives.
167
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,051
You know,
now that you mention it,
168
00:07:57,108 --> 00:07:59,816
I think she may have been
meeting him later for brunch.
169
00:07:59,877 --> 00:08:00,947
Why do you say that?
170
00:08:01,012 --> 00:08:04,619
She'd asked me if I'd ever
heard of this fusion cafe
down on Spring Street.
171
00:08:05,450 --> 00:08:07,020
BRISCOE: Fusion?
ED: Mmm-hmm.
172
00:08:07,085 --> 00:08:08,587
It's like a blend of
different cooking styles.
173
00:08:08,653 --> 00:08:11,190
You know,
Pacific Rim meets
nouvelle cuisine...
174
00:08:11,255 --> 00:08:14,327
My idea of fusion is
hamburger meets
French fries.
175
00:08:14,392 --> 00:08:15,496
Can I help you
two gentlemen?
176
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:16,937
Yeah.
177
00:08:17,595 --> 00:08:19,438
Do you recognize
this woman?
178
00:08:20,365 --> 00:08:21,901
She would have been
in here two weeks ago.
179
00:08:21,966 --> 00:08:23,206
Saturday brunch.
180
00:08:23,701 --> 00:08:27,445
Yes. I remember her.
I crave highlights
just like hers.
181
00:08:27,506 --> 00:08:30,680
I asked her
where she got them done.
'Course hers were natural.
182
00:08:30,743 --> 00:08:32,120
Why? What's this about?
183
00:08:32,611 --> 00:08:34,090
Was she with anybody?
184
00:08:35,180 --> 00:08:37,524
She came in alone,
but she met someone.
185
00:08:37,950 --> 00:08:39,258
As a matter of fact,
I remember thinking
186
00:08:39,318 --> 00:08:41,958
a hottie like her,
she could've done
a lot better.
187
00:08:42,021 --> 00:08:43,432
ED: Why'd you think that?
188
00:08:43,522 --> 00:08:46,002
Well, this guy
was quite a bit older.
189
00:08:46,058 --> 00:08:47,298
Chubby-hubby type.
190
00:08:47,359 --> 00:08:49,464
Was he wearing
black glasses?
191
00:08:49,928 --> 00:08:51,236
Yeah.
192
00:08:51,296 --> 00:08:53,276
Thank you.
You're welcome.
193
00:08:53,866 --> 00:08:56,745
Hamilton.
Mr. Strictly Professional.
194
00:09:00,239 --> 00:09:02,412
Sol had brunch with her.
That's not a crime, is it?
195
00:09:02,474 --> 00:09:04,147
You're having
an affair with her?
No.
196
00:09:04,209 --> 00:09:05,348
Why don't I believe you?
197
00:09:05,412 --> 00:09:07,016
Look, I admit
I was attracted to her.
198
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,060
Who wouldn't be?
But Lisa was all business.
199
00:09:09,115 --> 00:09:11,925
Why didn't you
tell us that you saw her
the day that she disappeared?
200
00:09:11,985 --> 00:09:13,225
You know
how the tabloids are.
201
00:09:13,286 --> 00:09:15,323
I get involved in some
investigation of
a missing girl,
202
00:09:15,388 --> 00:09:16,731
my career is
in the crapper.
203
00:09:16,923 --> 00:09:19,301
You're already involved, pal.
204
00:09:19,359 --> 00:09:23,307
Look, I asked her to brunch
I thought, maybe outside
the office...
205
00:09:23,596 --> 00:09:26,133
She'd be
more receptive to
you hitting on her?
206
00:09:26,199 --> 00:09:27,610
She told me
she was seeing somebody.
207
00:09:27,667 --> 00:09:29,943
She say who?
I'd just gotten shot down.
208
00:09:30,804 --> 00:09:32,977
It was a bit of an awkward
moment, Detective.
209
00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:35,519
Look,
I picked up the check,
we went our separate ways.
210
00:09:35,709 --> 00:09:38,622
So how'd she get this gig
with you in the first place?
211
00:09:41,981 --> 00:09:43,619
The Lieutenant Governor
called.
212
00:09:44,284 --> 00:09:47,459
Said he was doing a favor
for the Chairman of the
State Gaming Board.
213
00:09:48,089 --> 00:09:50,797
Chairman of
the State Gaming Board.
You talking about Ted Weldon?
214
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:54,070
Friend of the Governor.
215
00:09:57,365 --> 00:09:59,845
The Edwards
are from Chatham.
I grew up near there.
216
00:09:59,900 --> 00:10:01,937
My wife and kids and I
still have a house
in the area.
217
00:10:02,002 --> 00:10:03,777
So you know the Edwards?
218
00:10:03,838 --> 00:10:05,943
I'm a real estate
developer by training
219
00:10:06,006 --> 00:10:09,681
and I did some business with
her father a while back and
we remained friendly.
220
00:10:09,977 --> 00:10:12,048
How'd you find out
she was missing?
221
00:10:12,113 --> 00:10:13,592
Mr. Edwards called me.
222
00:10:13,647 --> 00:10:15,024
Why'd he call you?
223
00:10:15,983 --> 00:10:18,122
Look, no disrespect,
224
00:10:18,686 --> 00:10:21,860
but her father
felt the police weren't
taking him seriously enough.
225
00:10:22,189 --> 00:10:24,965
And I'm sort of a big fish
in a small pond up there,
226
00:10:25,025 --> 00:10:27,063
so I told him I'd do
whatever I could to help.
227
00:10:27,129 --> 00:10:28,699
I made a call to
the Police Commissioner
228
00:10:28,764 --> 00:10:31,370
and I asked him if he could
get someone to look into it.
229
00:10:31,433 --> 00:10:35,882
We understand you also made
some calls on her behalf
job wise?
230
00:10:35,937 --> 00:10:40,181
Lisa introduced herself to me
as Mr. Edwards' daughter at
one of those fund-raisers
231
00:10:40,242 --> 00:10:42,313
and when I found out that
the Lieutenant Governor's
office
232
00:10:42,377 --> 00:10:44,015
was looking for
some extra help,
233
00:10:44,079 --> 00:10:45,888
I thought
she'd be a perfect fit.
234
00:10:46,348 --> 00:10:48,225
So when was the last time
you saw her?
235
00:10:49,418 --> 00:10:52,627
A couple of weeks ago.
I'd have to check
my schedule.
236
00:10:52,921 --> 00:10:55,367
You two
see each other regularly?
237
00:10:56,291 --> 00:10:58,965
I think on occasion
would be more accurate.
238
00:10:59,161 --> 00:11:00,265
(PHONE RINGS)
239
00:11:00,328 --> 00:11:04,435
Well, if you can get back to
us about that last occasion,
we'd appreciate it.
240
00:11:04,499 --> 00:11:05,808
Yes.
241
00:11:06,202 --> 00:11:08,341
Look, it's the
Governor's office.
I need to take this.
242
00:11:08,404 --> 00:11:10,406
But if there's anything else
I can do to help,
243
00:11:10,473 --> 00:11:11,645
don't hesitate to call.
244
00:11:11,707 --> 00:11:14,187
You know,
as a parent myself,
245
00:11:14,243 --> 00:11:17,850
I just can't imagine what
I'd do if one of my kids
turned up missing.
246
00:11:17,914 --> 00:11:19,825
ED: Well, if
we hear anything,
we'll let you know.
247
00:11:21,350 --> 00:11:23,830
Listen,
who can blame
them for being cagey.
248
00:11:23,886 --> 00:11:27,527
What public figure
wants to be linked to
a missing girl these days.
249
00:11:27,590 --> 00:11:30,662
Which leaves us with no body,
no weapons, no suspect.
250
00:11:30,726 --> 00:11:34,299
Kind of tough
to whip up a profile of
a killer with no forensics.
251
00:11:34,363 --> 00:11:36,138
Well, then let's
work it backwards.
252
00:11:36,199 --> 00:11:38,076
If we can't
profile the killer...
253
00:11:38,134 --> 00:11:39,169
Profile the victim.
254
00:11:39,235 --> 00:11:41,738
Yeah. If there's a boyfriend
that we can't find,
255
00:11:41,804 --> 00:11:45,183
maybe there's
a type of man we
should be looking for.
256
00:11:51,515 --> 00:11:54,985
Lisa's a year older.
I don't graduate
till June.
257
00:11:55,052 --> 00:11:56,429
But you guys saw
each other last year?
258
00:11:56,486 --> 00:11:57,863
What exactly did
her parents tell you?
259
00:11:57,921 --> 00:11:59,298
That you two
were involved.
260
00:11:59,356 --> 00:12:01,563
And that you were pretty
bummed out over
the breakup.
261
00:12:01,625 --> 00:12:03,070
Wasn't like that at all.
262
00:12:03,126 --> 00:12:04,730
BRISCOE: Okay.
So who dumped who?
263
00:12:04,795 --> 00:12:06,172
Lisa and I
were never involved.
264
00:12:06,230 --> 00:12:07,368
Why would her parents
think that?
265
00:12:07,431 --> 00:12:09,172
Because that's what
Lisa wanted them to think.
266
00:12:09,233 --> 00:12:10,303
Why would she do that?
267
00:12:10,367 --> 00:12:12,813
So she didn't
have to tell them
who she really was seeing.
268
00:12:13,403 --> 00:12:14,575
Who was she really seeing?
269
00:12:14,638 --> 00:12:16,777
I don't even know if
I should be telling
you guys this.
270
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,821
Hey, this girl
has been missing
for almost three weeks.
271
00:12:22,145 --> 00:12:24,557
He was older, married.
272
00:12:25,182 --> 00:12:27,925
He runs the Athletic Center
where she worked part time.
273
00:12:28,319 --> 00:12:31,425
I'm real sorry
to hear about Lisa,
but that's ancient history.
274
00:12:31,489 --> 00:12:32,695
How ancient?
275
00:12:33,258 --> 00:12:35,295
Hey, we can appreciate
you're in a tough spot here.
276
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,839
But if you try
to stonewall us...
277
00:12:36,895 --> 00:12:39,501
Look, I had an affair.
278
00:12:40,164 --> 00:12:42,110
It's over.
A long time ago.
279
00:12:42,166 --> 00:12:43,770
When's the last time
you saw her?
280
00:12:43,835 --> 00:12:45,781
Before she left for New York.
281
00:12:45,837 --> 00:12:47,646
Never went down
for a visit?
282
00:12:48,072 --> 00:12:51,053
I haven't had anything to
do with her for over a year.
283
00:12:51,109 --> 00:12:52,679
You're twice her age.
284
00:12:53,211 --> 00:12:55,418
I'm not proud of it,
Detective.
285
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,859
But I wasn't
the first married guy that
she was involved with, either.
286
00:13:01,085 --> 00:13:02,826
Her boss at
the Athletic Center,
287
00:13:02,887 --> 00:13:04,628
her English professor
sophomore year.
288
00:13:04,689 --> 00:13:06,362
Yeah. This girl
had her wires crossed.
289
00:13:06,424 --> 00:13:08,029
But she sure kept
her parents in the dark.
290
00:13:08,093 --> 00:13:11,199
Yeah. And used
a kid her own age to
pull the wool over their eyes.
291
00:13:11,263 --> 00:13:13,368
Maybe she did
the same thing at work.
292
00:13:14,934 --> 00:13:16,436
You already asked me
this stuff.
293
00:13:16,502 --> 00:13:18,004
ED: What are you
scared of, Scott?
294
00:13:18,070 --> 00:13:20,744
She made me promise
that I wouldn't
tell anyone.
295
00:13:20,806 --> 00:13:23,047
Well, I doubt she'd
care about that anymore.
296
00:13:24,109 --> 00:13:26,350
She really is dead,
isn't she?
297
00:13:26,745 --> 00:13:28,884
It's beginning
to look that way.
298
00:13:38,390 --> 00:13:40,427
She's been going out
with an older guy.
299
00:13:40,492 --> 00:13:41,493
ED: Who?
300
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:42,766
She wouldn't say.
301
00:13:42,828 --> 00:13:45,069
I got the impression
he was some sort of
big shot.
302
00:13:45,331 --> 00:13:46,571
What about your boss?
303
00:13:46,632 --> 00:13:49,637
I don't know. I mean,
he's definitely got
eyes for her.
304
00:13:50,503 --> 00:13:52,244
What else did she say?
305
00:13:52,305 --> 00:13:55,718
That this guy was
gonna leave his wife
and he was gonna marry her.
306
00:13:55,775 --> 00:13:56,981
And she believed him?
307
00:13:57,043 --> 00:13:58,681
Yeah, I guess she did.
308
00:13:58,745 --> 00:14:00,520
BRISCOE: She never mentioned
a name?
309
00:14:00,580 --> 00:14:02,321
A nickname.
She called him E.
310
00:14:02,382 --> 00:14:04,123
E? That's all?
311
00:14:04,184 --> 00:14:06,164
Yeah. Apparently,
it was a rule he had.
312
00:14:06,219 --> 00:14:07,289
A rule?
313
00:14:07,354 --> 00:14:09,095
She was
never supposed to
use his real name.
314
00:14:09,155 --> 00:14:10,600
He had a lot of rules.
315
00:14:10,657 --> 00:14:13,900
Like, they could never go or
leave anywhere together,
stuff like that.
316
00:14:15,395 --> 00:14:19,400
Let's check out her computer.
Maybe they had some kind of
e-mail thing going.
317
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:21,977
This girl a gambler?
318
00:14:22,035 --> 00:14:24,106
Spends a lot of time
in online casinos.
319
00:14:24,170 --> 00:14:26,275
Job research.
Oh, I gotta remember that one.
320
00:14:26,339 --> 00:14:27,410
So what else?
321
00:14:27,475 --> 00:14:29,546
Well, she's able to
access secure files
322
00:14:29,610 --> 00:14:32,113
of the Senate subcommittee
on Economic Development.
323
00:14:32,179 --> 00:14:34,455
ED: How'd she get in?
Private password.
324
00:14:34,515 --> 00:14:35,823
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
325
00:14:35,883 --> 00:14:37,885
Excuse me.
Yeah? Green.
326
00:14:37,952 --> 00:14:39,989
So who else would
have the password?
327
00:14:40,755 --> 00:14:42,496
Just the people on
the Senate subcommittee.
328
00:14:42,990 --> 00:14:45,368
Hold on a minute.
Lennie, we got to go.
329
00:14:45,793 --> 00:14:46,863
Thanks.
330
00:14:47,561 --> 00:14:50,041
Kid's dog dug her up.
She wasn't buried deep.
331
00:14:50,097 --> 00:14:51,599
Somebody was in a hurry.
332
00:14:51,665 --> 00:14:54,043
We're checking for
tires and footprints,
but it's rained recently.
333
00:14:54,468 --> 00:14:56,539
Is it her?
You tell us.
334
00:15:00,441 --> 00:15:01,943
Lennie,
look at the hair.
335
00:15:02,009 --> 00:15:04,683
Yeah.
Beautiful highlights.
336
00:15:07,515 --> 00:15:11,487
State of decomposition,
ground temperature,
insect activity.
337
00:15:11,553 --> 00:15:12,691
SERENA:
Insect activity?
338
00:15:12,754 --> 00:15:14,893
She's been dead three weeks,
give or take.
339
00:15:14,956 --> 00:15:17,368
BRISCOE:
Probably killed
the day she disappeared.
340
00:15:17,426 --> 00:15:18,734
First time?
341
00:15:19,261 --> 00:15:21,298
I came over from
Civil Investigations.
342
00:15:21,530 --> 00:15:23,669
You get used to the smell.
No, you don't.
343
00:15:23,732 --> 00:15:24,972
What was the cause
of death?
344
00:15:25,033 --> 00:15:27,138
Single shot
to the head,
close range.
345
00:15:27,202 --> 00:15:28,704
BRISCOE:
You recover a slug?
346
00:15:28,770 --> 00:15:31,114
Yeah. CSU pulled it
out of a tree.
347
00:15:31,173 --> 00:15:33,380
Nine mil.
Pretty good shape,
you ought to make a match.
348
00:15:33,442 --> 00:15:34,512
Thanks.
349
00:15:34,643 --> 00:15:36,020
One more thing.
350
00:15:36,778 --> 00:15:38,314
She was pregnant.
351
00:15:41,750 --> 00:15:44,424
We'll do the DNA,
find out who the father was.
352
00:15:44,486 --> 00:15:46,432
Why not?
Well, the egg's
too microscopic,
353
00:15:46,488 --> 00:15:48,366
it's not enough
material to test.
354
00:15:48,424 --> 00:15:50,495
How do they even know
she's pregnant?
355
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,471
Changes in the cells
of the uterus.
356
00:15:52,528 --> 00:15:54,735
So how do we find out
who she was seeing?
357
00:15:54,997 --> 00:15:56,874
Well, Briscoe and Green
put together a profile
358
00:15:56,933 --> 00:15:58,844
of the type of man
she was attracted to.
359
00:15:58,901 --> 00:15:59,902
And?
360
00:15:59,969 --> 00:16:01,243
Well, according to
the profile,
361
00:16:01,304 --> 00:16:03,250
she gravitated to men
she thought she could please
362
00:16:03,306 --> 00:16:05,377
and who might be able to
reward her for her efforts.
363
00:16:05,441 --> 00:16:06,681
And he's probably married.
364
00:16:07,009 --> 00:16:08,613
Someone who
might not be overjoyed
365
00:16:08,678 --> 00:16:11,056
at the prospect of
impending fatherhood.
366
00:16:11,247 --> 00:16:12,487
Do we have any suspects?
367
00:16:12,548 --> 00:16:13,822
Her boss.
368
00:16:14,450 --> 00:16:16,054
Senator Judson.
369
00:16:16,118 --> 00:16:18,621
Well, the cops discovered
she'd been using his
private password
370
00:16:18,688 --> 00:16:20,861
to access
a State Senate website.
371
00:16:21,758 --> 00:16:23,237
Question is, why?
372
00:16:23,292 --> 00:16:24,930
You want me
to interview him?
373
00:16:25,428 --> 00:16:27,669
No way to avoid
ruffling feathers now.
374
00:16:30,234 --> 00:16:32,009
I never slept
with Lisa Edwards.
375
00:16:32,069 --> 00:16:33,639
So you weren't
having an affair with her?
376
00:16:33,704 --> 00:16:35,149
She works for me, okay?
377
00:16:35,205 --> 00:16:38,209
I don't cheat on my wife
and I don't dip my pen
in the company ink.
378
00:16:38,275 --> 00:16:40,312
Then how did she get
your private password?
379
00:16:41,311 --> 00:16:42,847
Senator, that fact alone
is enough
380
00:16:42,913 --> 00:16:44,551
to trigger
a Grand Jury investigation.
381
00:16:44,615 --> 00:16:45,923
Maybe even
federal involvement.
382
00:16:45,983 --> 00:16:47,121
Look,
383
00:16:47,784 --> 00:16:49,991
I wasn't the one who gave
Lisa Edwards my password.
384
00:16:50,621 --> 00:16:52,498
But you have a pretty
good idea who did.
385
00:16:53,056 --> 00:16:55,502
I just can't believe
he would have been
so foolish.
386
00:16:55,559 --> 00:16:58,597
We've been working together on
this gambling legislation
for two years.
387
00:16:58,662 --> 00:17:01,404
You have no idea the money
that's at stake, the jobs...
388
00:17:01,465 --> 00:17:03,172
So you did give your
password to someone?
389
00:17:03,967 --> 00:17:05,742
I know
I wasn't supposed to.
390
00:17:05,803 --> 00:17:07,476
Senator, who are
we talking about?
391
00:17:07,538 --> 00:17:10,748
We needed this legislation.
It was for the good
of the people.
392
00:17:11,709 --> 00:17:13,848
Her grant was up.
Lisa Edwards
needed a new job.
393
00:17:13,912 --> 00:17:15,721
I mentioned it to Ted.
394
00:17:15,780 --> 00:17:18,124
He set her up with the
Lieutenant Governor's office.
395
00:17:18,183 --> 00:17:19,560
Ted Weldon?
396
00:17:19,984 --> 00:17:22,260
Chairman of the
State Gaming Board.
397
00:17:23,955 --> 00:17:26,458
Ted Weldon.
That's pretty cozy.
398
00:17:26,524 --> 00:17:29,198
A member of
the subcommittee
sharing state secrets
399
00:17:29,260 --> 00:17:30,967
with the Chairman
of the Gaming Board.
400
00:17:31,029 --> 00:17:33,441
Favor bank's
always open for business.
401
00:17:33,698 --> 00:17:34,870
If you're in the club.
402
00:17:35,300 --> 00:17:38,440
Weldon also
fits the profile
Briscoe and Green developed.
403
00:17:38,503 --> 00:17:40,141
Plus her work
with the subcommittee
404
00:17:40,205 --> 00:17:42,242
would have
brought them
into close proximity.
405
00:17:42,307 --> 00:17:43,650
Let's interview Weldon.
406
00:17:43,708 --> 00:17:46,279
Assume that
Judson's already
given him the heads up.
407
00:17:46,344 --> 00:17:47,550
Tread lightly.
408
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,093
I can't tell you
how sorry I am
about Lisa.
409
00:17:51,150 --> 00:17:53,528
It's all so tragic.
410
00:17:56,622 --> 00:17:59,899
And yes, it's true. I did
give Lisa Elliot's password.
411
00:17:59,959 --> 00:18:03,566
But I was just
trying to help her
put her best foot forward.
412
00:18:03,629 --> 00:18:05,006
I mean, some of the
information that
she needed
413
00:18:05,064 --> 00:18:07,271
would've been impossible
for her to get any other way.
414
00:18:07,333 --> 00:18:08,641
Or you.
415
00:18:08,701 --> 00:18:11,147
According to the police,
you spent some time
with Lisa Edwards
416
00:18:11,203 --> 00:18:12,511
the week before
she disappeared.
417
00:18:12,571 --> 00:18:16,917
Yeah.
I checked my schedule.
I saw her that Thursday.
418
00:18:17,343 --> 00:18:18,583
JACK: Where did you meet?
419
00:18:18,911 --> 00:18:22,051
My apartment. I maintain
a residence here in the city.
420
00:18:22,248 --> 00:18:24,387
Was that
Thursday afternoon?
421
00:18:25,684 --> 00:18:27,027
In the evening.
422
00:18:27,620 --> 00:18:29,658
What time did she
leave your apartment?
423
00:18:31,024 --> 00:18:33,903
After 10:00.
I really can't recall.
424
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,100
I'm sorry,
but I don't see how
any of this is relevant.
425
00:18:37,164 --> 00:18:39,303
Lisa didn't go missing
until Saturday.
426
00:18:39,366 --> 00:18:43,576
It's our understanding
Miss Edwards was involved
with a married man.
427
00:18:44,671 --> 00:18:46,651
Well, I wouldn't know
anything about that.
428
00:18:50,877 --> 00:18:54,415
Look, I understand how this
must seem, her being in
my apartment.
429
00:18:54,881 --> 00:18:58,829
But I assure you
that there was nothing
illicit in our relationship.
430
00:18:59,286 --> 00:19:01,857
How would you describe
your relationship?
431
00:19:02,255 --> 00:19:06,101
I took a special
interest in her as
a friend of the family.
432
00:19:06,526 --> 00:19:09,667
Now the last time you
spoke to her was that
Thursday night?
433
00:19:09,730 --> 00:19:13,610
Last time I saw her,
last time I spoke to her.
434
00:19:15,603 --> 00:19:18,641
Well, I appreciate your
taking the time to see us.
435
00:19:19,006 --> 00:19:21,145
Whatever I can
do to help. Okay.
436
00:19:23,544 --> 00:19:25,182
SERENA: You cut that off
pretty quickly.
437
00:19:25,246 --> 00:19:28,921
If we went any further,
we would have had to
have read him his rights.
438
00:19:29,417 --> 00:19:31,488
We already
have the story
he'll be sticking to.
439
00:19:31,552 --> 00:19:35,056
Then you don't believe him.
I thought it was just me.
440
00:19:35,890 --> 00:19:37,426
Let's pull his IUDs.
Home and office.
441
00:19:37,491 --> 00:19:39,835
And in the meantime,
I want you to drop
by his building.
442
00:19:39,894 --> 00:19:43,398
See if you can find anyone
to confirm the story
he just told us.
443
00:19:44,966 --> 00:19:48,072
You should see him
on the weekends, jeans,
sneakers, leather jacket.
444
00:19:48,135 --> 00:19:49,546
Keeps a red Camaro
in the garage.
445
00:19:49,604 --> 00:19:51,812
A man of his age?
Pretty ridiculous
if you ask me.
446
00:19:51,873 --> 00:19:54,410
What about women?
On and off, over the years.
447
00:19:54,476 --> 00:19:55,682
What about this woman?
448
00:19:56,545 --> 00:20:00,357
Miss Edwards, sure,
she's been a regular
the last six months or so.
449
00:20:00,415 --> 00:20:01,553
Not too much lately.
450
00:20:01,617 --> 00:20:03,255
She was murdered.
451
00:20:03,952 --> 00:20:06,330
Sorry to hear that.
She was a nice girl.
452
00:20:06,388 --> 00:20:08,959
Me, I don't follow
the news much,
it's all bad.
453
00:20:09,758 --> 00:20:11,362
What about his wife?
454
00:20:11,426 --> 00:20:15,067
Rarely.
Couple times a year, maybe.
Lives upstate with the kids.
455
00:20:15,130 --> 00:20:17,269
When was the last time
you saw her?
456
00:20:17,332 --> 00:20:19,642
Three weeks ago.
She was here
for the weekend.
457
00:20:19,701 --> 00:20:22,113
Lisa Edwards was
here three weeks ago?
You're positive?
458
00:20:22,170 --> 00:20:24,707
Not her. The wife.
Mrs. Weldon.
459
00:20:28,210 --> 00:20:30,714
I decided to go down
to the city on a whim.
460
00:20:31,347 --> 00:20:34,726
See Ted,
have dinner,
catch a show.
461
00:20:35,018 --> 00:20:36,861
You don't go into
the city very often?
462
00:20:36,919 --> 00:20:38,762
I prefer the country.
463
00:20:40,790 --> 00:20:43,327
When Ted
was appointed to
the Gaming Board,
464
00:20:43,393 --> 00:20:45,566
he had to maintain
a presence in the city.
465
00:20:46,095 --> 00:20:47,972
I decided to stay
here with the kids.
466
00:20:49,198 --> 00:20:51,804
It must be hard.
Being away from
each other.
467
00:20:53,903 --> 00:20:55,507
Is there a reason
you're here?
468
00:20:56,506 --> 00:20:58,110
Did you know Lisa Edwards?
469
00:20:58,341 --> 00:21:01,220
The girl who was killed?
Not really.
470
00:21:01,277 --> 00:21:03,484
Ted knows her family,
but I don't.
471
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,656
What time
did you get to
the city that Friday?
472
00:21:07,250 --> 00:21:08,820
About noon, I think.
473
00:21:08,885 --> 00:21:10,627
And you were at
the apartment all day?
474
00:21:10,688 --> 00:21:12,258
Waiting for my husband.
475
00:21:12,556 --> 00:21:15,594
A call was placed
from his apartment to hers
that afternoon, Mrs. Weldon.
476
00:21:15,659 --> 00:21:17,161
Only your husband
wasn't home.
477
00:21:18,128 --> 00:21:19,971
I don't know
anything about that.
478
00:21:20,030 --> 00:21:22,032
You said you were there
all afternoon.
479
00:21:22,099 --> 00:21:25,444
I may have gone out
for a minute or two.
I don't remember.
480
00:21:25,502 --> 00:21:26,742
Maybe the housekeeper...
481
00:21:27,037 --> 00:21:29,881
She doesn't work on Fridays.
I checked.
482
00:21:32,376 --> 00:21:35,619
My husband asked me to
cooperate with you,
but I really...
483
00:21:35,679 --> 00:21:38,216
Did you call Lisa Edwards
that afternoon, Mrs. Weldon?
484
00:21:38,282 --> 00:21:40,284
I just told you
I didn't.
485
00:21:42,386 --> 00:21:46,198
You know what? I think
maybe I should call Ted now.
486
00:21:48,358 --> 00:21:50,770
She must have made the call
from the apartment that day.
487
00:21:50,828 --> 00:21:53,469
Lisa Edwards had no idea
his wife was in town.
488
00:21:53,665 --> 00:21:55,542
She leaves a message
for her lover,
489
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,546
only Mrs. Weldon's there
to hear it.
490
00:21:57,602 --> 00:21:59,445
And then she calls
the girl back.
491
00:21:59,504 --> 00:22:01,506
I'd love to have
heard that conversation.
492
00:22:01,573 --> 00:22:03,314
Tell me about Mrs. Weldon.
493
00:22:03,374 --> 00:22:05,684
Small-town girl.
Prominent family.
494
00:22:05,744 --> 00:22:07,121
Hates the big city.
495
00:22:07,178 --> 00:22:08,851
From all accounts,
the marriage is a sham.
496
00:22:08,913 --> 00:22:11,018
So if her husband
is who we think he is,
497
00:22:11,082 --> 00:22:13,995
this isn't the first time
she's come across one of
his girlfriends.
498
00:22:14,052 --> 00:22:16,532
Let's see
if we can find out how
she handled this before.
499
00:22:16,588 --> 00:22:17,862
Well, I'll talk
to the doorman again.
500
00:22:17,922 --> 00:22:19,492
See if he can
give me another name.
501
00:22:23,728 --> 00:22:26,641
Look, we dated for
five or six months.
502
00:22:26,698 --> 00:22:28,006
How did you meet?
503
00:22:28,967 --> 00:22:30,776
I sold him a Sub-Zero.
504
00:22:31,537 --> 00:22:32,948
Was his wife with him?
505
00:22:33,572 --> 00:22:34,846
You're kidding, right?
506
00:22:35,708 --> 00:22:37,710
So she never found out
about you two?
507
00:22:37,777 --> 00:22:39,848
Ted never seemed
to worry about it.
508
00:22:39,912 --> 00:22:41,983
She never
threatened you then?
509
00:22:42,047 --> 00:22:43,219
God, no.
510
00:22:43,549 --> 00:22:44,653
Whole time
we were together,
511
00:22:44,717 --> 00:22:46,890
I don't think the woman
ever came into the city.
512
00:22:48,220 --> 00:22:49,756
Why did it end?
513
00:22:50,289 --> 00:22:52,030
He was never gonna
leave his wife.
514
00:22:52,725 --> 00:22:54,864
It just
took me a while
to get the message.
515
00:22:54,927 --> 00:22:57,567
Right.
Which was delivered how?
516
00:22:58,898 --> 00:23:01,674
Ted doesn't do
his own dirty work.
517
00:23:01,734 --> 00:23:03,839
He had a friend do it
for him.
518
00:23:03,936 --> 00:23:05,074
A friend?
519
00:23:05,137 --> 00:23:09,313
Some guy he grew up with.
Mickey... Somebody.
520
00:23:10,009 --> 00:23:12,081
Kind of a biker tough guy.
521
00:23:12,913 --> 00:23:14,586
We hung out a few times.
522
00:23:15,448 --> 00:23:18,918
Anyway, I guess somewhere
I must have crossed
the line with Ted,
523
00:23:18,985 --> 00:23:23,058
because one day, Mickey
shows up and tells me
it's over.
524
00:23:23,590 --> 00:23:24,830
What did you do?
525
00:23:24,891 --> 00:23:27,201
I told him I wanted to
hear it from Ted.
526
00:23:27,260 --> 00:23:29,001
So I went down to his office.
527
00:23:29,429 --> 00:23:30,931
Big mistake.
528
00:23:30,997 --> 00:23:32,203
Why?
529
00:23:32,399 --> 00:23:33,878
He totally flipped.
530
00:23:34,768 --> 00:23:36,873
Ted's a real
secret freak.
531
00:23:37,304 --> 00:23:38,806
Even gave himself
a code name.
532
00:23:39,172 --> 00:23:40,344
A code name?
533
00:23:40,774 --> 00:23:43,084
I was never supposed
to use his real name.
534
00:23:43,143 --> 00:23:44,781
I had to call him E.
535
00:23:46,313 --> 00:23:48,384
What did you do after you
went down to Ted's office?
536
00:23:49,483 --> 00:23:51,520
I got another visit
from Mickey.
537
00:23:52,887 --> 00:23:53,991
Mickey came to her home.
538
00:23:54,055 --> 00:23:56,126
Told her
to never call or
try to see Weldon again.
539
00:23:56,190 --> 00:23:57,498
If she did,
she would regret it.
540
00:23:57,558 --> 00:23:59,538
She call the police?
She was scared to death.
541
00:23:59,594 --> 00:24:01,369
I got
a hold of Weldon's
high school yearbook.
542
00:24:01,429 --> 00:24:04,535
His name is
Mickey Bastone.
And he has a sheet.
543
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,011
She had a good reason
to be scared.
544
00:24:07,068 --> 00:24:08,706
Assault one.
Gun possession.
545
00:24:08,769 --> 00:24:10,339
That's the one
that interested me.
546
00:24:10,404 --> 00:24:11,747
Probation.
547
00:24:11,806 --> 00:24:13,547
How does a felon
get that?
548
00:24:17,245 --> 00:24:21,159
Bastone was buying
handguns in the Carolinas,
driving 'em up to New York.
549
00:24:21,282 --> 00:24:24,729
This particular trip, he was
stopped by State Troopers
for speeding.
550
00:24:24,785 --> 00:24:27,459
Search incident revealed
a cache of weapons
in his trunk.
551
00:24:27,521 --> 00:24:30,832
Sig Sauers, Glocks,
couple dozen .38s.
552
00:24:30,892 --> 00:24:32,736
So why didn't you guys
take the case?
553
00:24:32,794 --> 00:24:36,037
How's the saying go?
Bastone had friends
in high places.
554
00:24:36,098 --> 00:24:37,975
Ted Weldon?
Never knew who.
555
00:24:38,033 --> 00:24:40,138
Just some big
bureaucrat pal
of the Governor's
556
00:24:40,202 --> 00:24:41,340
was standing up
for the guy.
557
00:24:41,403 --> 00:24:43,440
Gave him a walk.
Local D.A.
went along with it.
558
00:24:43,505 --> 00:24:44,711
Quid pro quo.
559
00:24:44,773 --> 00:24:46,514
Bastone fed us
information on
his seller.
560
00:24:46,575 --> 00:24:49,579
Which led to
a federal indictment.
Everybody went home happy.
561
00:24:49,645 --> 00:24:51,318
Including
Mickey Bastone.
562
00:24:52,881 --> 00:24:55,794
Canvass with
Bastone's photograph
yielded two witnesses.
563
00:24:55,851 --> 00:24:59,424
Both saw a young blonde woman
walking with a man that
looked like Bastone
564
00:24:59,488 --> 00:25:01,525
not far from where
her body was found.
565
00:25:02,357 --> 00:25:04,200
Can we connect him
to the gun?
566
00:25:04,259 --> 00:25:06,705
The gun that killed
Lisa Edwards was
a Sig Sauer.
567
00:25:06,762 --> 00:25:09,038
The same model as
the ones sold to Bastone.
568
00:25:09,097 --> 00:25:11,236
Seven of which
were never recovered.
569
00:25:11,934 --> 00:25:14,245
Get a warrant.
Have Briscoe and
Green pick him up.
570
00:25:14,871 --> 00:25:16,578
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
571
00:25:18,174 --> 00:25:20,245
Mickey Bastone?
That's right.
572
00:25:20,510 --> 00:25:21,648
NYPD.
573
00:25:21,711 --> 00:25:23,156
We have a warrant
to search your bar,
574
00:25:23,212 --> 00:25:24,953
your home and
any of your vehicles.
575
00:25:25,014 --> 00:25:26,857
We also
have a warrant
for your arrest.
576
00:25:26,916 --> 00:25:28,395
Hey, I'm tryin' to
run a business here.
577
00:25:28,451 --> 00:25:30,522
Well, why don't you think
about takin' a few days off?
578
00:25:30,586 --> 00:25:32,623
All right, everybody!
Last call!
579
00:25:32,689 --> 00:25:34,134
He means leave!
580
00:25:34,524 --> 00:25:36,401
I'm telling you, you know,
you ain't gonna find nothin'.
581
00:25:36,459 --> 00:25:38,496
People say that to us
all the time.
582
00:25:38,561 --> 00:25:41,167
Next thing you know,
they're watchin' the
seasons change in Attica.
583
00:25:41,230 --> 00:25:42,868
Put your hands
behind your back.
584
00:25:43,066 --> 00:25:44,875
You probably know this
next part by heart.
585
00:25:44,934 --> 00:25:46,607
You have the right
to remain silent.
586
00:25:46,669 --> 00:25:49,809
Anything you
say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.
587
00:25:53,277 --> 00:25:54,449
You have a lot
of supposition,
588
00:25:54,511 --> 00:25:57,219
but so far I haven't
heard any real evidence
tying my client to the crime.
589
00:25:57,281 --> 00:25:59,693
We have two witnesses
who can place Mr. Bastone
590
00:25:59,750 --> 00:26:01,423
with the victim
near the crime scene
591
00:26:01,485 --> 00:26:03,863
the afternoon
that she disappeared.
592
00:26:03,921 --> 00:26:06,458
We can also link him
to the make and model
of the murder weapon.
593
00:26:06,523 --> 00:26:09,333
A forensics team found
blonde hair fibers
in his car.
594
00:26:09,393 --> 00:26:11,964
We think
they belong
to Lisa Edwards.
595
00:26:13,263 --> 00:26:14,606
What's on the table?
596
00:26:14,665 --> 00:26:17,737
Twenty-five-to-life.
Provided he tells us
who put him up to it.
597
00:26:17,801 --> 00:26:20,611
Twenty-five-to-life?
We could get that
after trial.
598
00:26:20,671 --> 00:26:22,776
Not likely after
a murder one conviction.
599
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,650
Murder one?
You can't prove
a murder for hire here.
600
00:26:25,709 --> 00:26:28,212
You don't have any
direct evidence linking
anyone else to the crime.
601
00:26:28,279 --> 00:26:29,417
SERENA:
We don't need to.
602
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,858
The killing occurred
during the course of
a kidnapping.
603
00:26:31,915 --> 00:26:33,896
Anybody see this
alleged kidnapping?
604
00:26:33,952 --> 00:26:36,831
We'll argue
he either tricked her or
forced her to accompany him.
605
00:26:36,888 --> 00:26:38,868
A jury won't find that
so hard to believe.
606
00:26:40,025 --> 00:26:43,768
If I have to go it alone
with you, Mr. Bastone,
I will.
607
00:26:44,496 --> 00:26:47,602
Why would I kill this girl?
I barely knew her.
608
00:26:47,665 --> 00:26:50,839
The minute Forensics matches
those hair fibers to
Miss Edwards
609
00:26:50,902 --> 00:26:53,542
is the minute
this conversation ends.
610
00:27:00,245 --> 00:27:02,156
If he'd only
let me do it my way.
611
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,953
You mean, Ted Weldon?
612
00:27:06,351 --> 00:27:08,262
The girl was pregnant.
613
00:27:09,020 --> 00:27:10,727
She was threatening
to go public,
614
00:27:10,788 --> 00:27:12,790
ruin his career,
blow up his marriage.
615
00:27:12,857 --> 00:27:14,769
Ted said she wasn't gonna
go away easy.
616
00:27:14,827 --> 00:27:16,807
Weldon's marriage
was an arrangement.
617
00:27:16,862 --> 00:27:18,967
What difference would
one more affair make?
618
00:27:19,031 --> 00:27:22,410
Ted was in line
for big things once this
casino legislation passed.
619
00:27:22,468 --> 00:27:24,641
That girl
would've ruined all that.
620
00:27:25,171 --> 00:27:27,674
I guess Teddy just
couldn't help himself.
621
00:27:29,375 --> 00:27:30,854
Any money change hands?
622
00:27:30,910 --> 00:27:34,221
Bastone said he was
paid $10,000. In cash.
623
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,725
So far I haven't
found anything in
624
00:27:35,781 --> 00:27:37,727
Weldon's financial
records to corroborate that.
625
00:27:37,783 --> 00:27:40,263
So we have
the confession
of a convicted felon
626
00:27:40,319 --> 00:27:43,232
against the word of a trusted,
distinguished public servant.
627
00:27:43,289 --> 00:27:46,896
We also have testimony
that Weldon used Bastone
to do his dirty work for him
628
00:27:46,959 --> 00:27:48,563
on at least
one other occasion.
629
00:27:48,627 --> 00:27:50,334
He had
Bastone threaten
another girlfriend
630
00:27:50,396 --> 00:27:52,433
when she started to
get too serious.
631
00:27:52,531 --> 00:27:54,637
He told her to
back off or else...
632
00:27:54,901 --> 00:27:57,177
That girl
was smart enough
to take the warning.
633
00:27:57,771 --> 00:27:59,114
Lisa Edwards wasn't.
634
00:27:59,606 --> 00:28:02,815
Well, Lisa Edwards was
young, pregnant, in love.
635
00:28:02,876 --> 00:28:05,254
She'd been dumped by
a married man before.
636
00:28:05,312 --> 00:28:08,088
My guess is this time
she couldn't take no
for answer.
637
00:28:08,782 --> 00:28:10,887
Pick up the
son of a bitch.
638
00:28:15,188 --> 00:28:18,032
Your Honor, this is
a capital murder case,
a killing for hire.
639
00:28:18,091 --> 00:28:20,799
The People feel
bail is inappropriate
under these circumstances,
640
00:28:20,861 --> 00:28:23,501
and ask
that the defendant
be held without bond.
641
00:28:23,563 --> 00:28:24,906
Mr. Cromwell?
642
00:28:24,965 --> 00:28:28,037
Your Honor, Mr. Weldon
is a well-respected
public servant,
643
00:28:28,101 --> 00:28:30,138
he's a man of
limited financial resources
644
00:28:30,203 --> 00:28:33,207
but high public profile.
He's not any sort of
flight risk.
645
00:28:33,273 --> 00:28:36,016
We ask that
he be released on
his own recognizance.
646
00:28:37,345 --> 00:28:39,586
Bail is set
in the amount of
one million dollars.
647
00:28:39,647 --> 00:28:41,149
Your Honor,
I would like to point out
648
00:28:41,215 --> 00:28:44,458
that Chairman Weldon has
taken and passed a polygraph
649
00:28:44,519 --> 00:28:47,728
relating to the tragic events
surrounding the death of
Lisa Edwards.
650
00:28:47,788 --> 00:28:49,859
That has absolutely
no relevance,
Your Honor.
651
00:28:51,259 --> 00:28:52,397
Approach.
652
00:28:57,198 --> 00:28:59,644
The People know nothing
about any polygraph test.
653
00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:02,010
It was administered privately
by a reputable firm.
654
00:29:02,069 --> 00:29:03,776
It is totally inadmissible.
655
00:29:03,838 --> 00:29:06,978
At trial.
I thought it relevant
for the purpose of bail.
656
00:29:07,508 --> 00:29:11,081
Then you thought wrong.
Step back. Same bail.
657
00:29:16,318 --> 00:29:18,320
His lawyer wants to
sit down and talk.
658
00:29:18,387 --> 00:29:19,661
You don't.
659
00:29:19,721 --> 00:29:23,259
We have a strong case.
Bastone's confession,
plenty of motive...
660
00:29:23,325 --> 00:29:26,135
But nothing to prove
he made the payment
to Bastone.
661
00:29:26,194 --> 00:29:27,673
And he passed a poly.
662
00:29:27,729 --> 00:29:30,107
Publicity stunt.
He wanted to get
it in the papers,
663
00:29:30,165 --> 00:29:31,371
taint the jury pool.
664
00:29:31,433 --> 00:29:34,107
Well, then
he accomplished
what he set out to do.
665
00:29:34,169 --> 00:29:36,843
I'll have the court
instruct the panel
to disregard it.
666
00:29:37,372 --> 00:29:41,218
Weldon's a charmer, Jack.
He's good looking,
he's well-spoken.
667
00:29:41,276 --> 00:29:44,189
Let's see how good he looks
after a couple of months
in Rikers.
668
00:29:44,246 --> 00:29:45,850
(PHONE RINGS)
669
00:29:46,448 --> 00:29:47,791
Hello?
670
00:29:49,818 --> 00:29:51,263
Thank you.
671
00:29:51,954 --> 00:29:53,456
Weldon just posted bail.
672
00:29:53,789 --> 00:29:57,294
I thought
he was a man of
limited resources.
673
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,306
He is.
His wife isn't.
674
00:29:59,362 --> 00:30:02,434
Have the conversation, Jack.
It can't hurt.
675
00:30:05,601 --> 00:30:09,674
Be nice if you'd all come to
your senses before you drag
my client into court.
676
00:30:09,739 --> 00:30:12,345
We didn't ask for this
meeting, Counselor.
You did.
677
00:30:12,408 --> 00:30:14,115
Come on, Jack.
Admit it.
678
00:30:14,177 --> 00:30:17,647
This is nothing more
than a vendetta by the
politically correct police.
679
00:30:17,714 --> 00:30:18,886
Excuse me?
680
00:30:18,948 --> 00:30:21,121
You're out to get my client
because he won't admit
681
00:30:21,184 --> 00:30:22,788
that he had
sex with the woman.
682
00:30:22,852 --> 00:30:25,264
He misled the investigation.
He lied.
683
00:30:25,321 --> 00:30:28,063
That's what married people
do who have affairs,
Miss Southerlyn.
684
00:30:28,124 --> 00:30:29,159
They lie.
685
00:30:29,225 --> 00:30:31,967
Your client is an older man,
a powerful man
686
00:30:32,028 --> 00:30:34,599
who took advantage of
an impressionable
young woman.
687
00:30:34,664 --> 00:30:37,942
Excuse me, but
I was under the impression
that they were both adults.
688
00:30:38,002 --> 00:30:40,505
It's still
an inherently
unequal relationship.
689
00:30:40,571 --> 00:30:43,609
Which might make it
sexual harassment,
not murder.
690
00:30:43,841 --> 00:30:46,185
The guy
is not gonna say
that he slept with her.
691
00:30:46,243 --> 00:30:49,315
That makes him a creep.
Maybe even worse than
a creep.
692
00:30:49,380 --> 00:30:51,826
But not a killer.
Do yourself a favor.
693
00:30:51,882 --> 00:30:54,988
Drop the charges before
you embarrass yourself.
694
00:30:55,052 --> 00:30:58,363
I thought you asked
for this meeting because
you were ready to make a deal.
695
00:30:58,422 --> 00:31:00,459
And I thought you were
ready to see the light.
696
00:31:01,892 --> 00:31:03,462
You're so up in arms
about the subject,
697
00:31:03,527 --> 00:31:05,006
you ought to talk
to your boss here.
698
00:31:05,062 --> 00:31:07,872
He's famous for sleeping
with his assistants.
699
00:31:11,902 --> 00:31:13,848
He wasn't interested
in discussing a plea.
700
00:31:13,904 --> 00:31:17,216
He thinks we're just punishing
Weldon for refusing to admit
to the affair.
701
00:31:17,275 --> 00:31:21,223
The last thing
I care about is
who this man slept with.
702
00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:24,158
I mean, if his wife can
stomach him, that's
their business.
703
00:31:24,883 --> 00:31:28,558
That being said,
I'll take extra pleasure
when you hand him his head.
704
00:31:28,753 --> 00:31:32,394
By the way,
I heard your own history
with your assistants came up.
705
00:31:33,224 --> 00:31:34,931
I married her, Nora.
706
00:31:35,794 --> 00:31:36,795
Yeah.
707
00:31:36,861 --> 00:31:38,807
Wasn't just the one
though, was it, Jack?
708
00:31:45,370 --> 00:31:46,849
BASTONE:
Ted gave me her number.
709
00:31:46,905 --> 00:31:50,148
I paged Lisa,
arranged to meet her
on the steps of the Met.
710
00:31:50,208 --> 00:31:53,712
Ted told me they usually
got together there on
the weekends.
711
00:31:54,312 --> 00:31:57,624
What happened
when she realized it was
you instead of Mr. Weldon?
712
00:31:58,017 --> 00:31:59,223
She wasn't pleased.
713
00:31:59,285 --> 00:32:01,458
Until I told her
I was gonna take
her to him.
714
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,022
So she went with you?
715
00:32:03,089 --> 00:32:04,591
She'd been
calling him all week.
716
00:32:04,657 --> 00:32:07,536
Ted wasn't
taking her calls and
she was gettin' upset.
717
00:32:08,294 --> 00:32:10,365
I guess she thought if
she could see him
face-to-face,
718
00:32:10,429 --> 00:32:11,806
she could
make things right.
719
00:32:11,864 --> 00:32:13,434
JACK: Make things right, how?
720
00:32:13,866 --> 00:32:16,642
She was pregnant.
She wanted him
to leave his wife.
721
00:32:17,103 --> 00:32:18,241
Objection.
722
00:32:18,304 --> 00:32:20,284
Jury will disregard.
723
00:32:20,673 --> 00:32:21,879
JACK: Where did you
take her?
724
00:32:21,941 --> 00:32:24,854
Inwood. Kind of
a secluded area.
725
00:32:25,678 --> 00:32:27,749
I told her she'd
be meeting Ted there.
726
00:32:27,813 --> 00:32:31,283
We went down the trail.
We stopped. End of story.
727
00:32:33,385 --> 00:32:35,956
Ted Weldon asked you
to kill Lisa Edwards.
728
00:32:36,022 --> 00:32:38,936
Not in so many words,
but I knew what he wanted.
729
00:32:38,992 --> 00:32:41,768
He said to
take care of it,
once and for all.
730
00:32:41,828 --> 00:32:43,102
So I did.
731
00:32:43,330 --> 00:32:44,400
JACK: He paid you.
732
00:32:44,464 --> 00:32:46,068
$10,000. Cash.
733
00:32:46,299 --> 00:32:48,074
Is there any record
of this transaction?
734
00:32:48,135 --> 00:32:49,205
No.
735
00:32:49,269 --> 00:32:51,909
Your word against his.
Why should we believe you?
736
00:32:52,472 --> 00:32:54,816
'Cause I didn't
need her killed.
He did.
737
00:33:01,615 --> 00:33:02,855
Ted Weldon
was your friend?
738
00:33:02,916 --> 00:33:04,224
Since we were kids.
739
00:33:04,284 --> 00:33:06,286
And he's helped you out
a great deal over the years.
740
00:33:06,353 --> 00:33:07,525
We've helped each other.
741
00:33:07,587 --> 00:33:10,363
You have a strange way of
paying back your friends,
Mr. Bastone.
742
00:33:10,423 --> 00:33:11,595
Objection.
743
00:33:11,658 --> 00:33:12,864
JUDGE: Sustained.
744
00:33:13,393 --> 00:33:16,841
When did Mr. Weldon tell you
about his problems with
Miss Edwards?
745
00:33:16,898 --> 00:33:19,777
We took
a ride to Harrison
State Park one Sunday.
746
00:33:19,834 --> 00:33:23,077
Teddy pulled me aside,
said she was putting
the pressure on him.
747
00:33:23,137 --> 00:33:24,207
In what way?
748
00:33:24,272 --> 00:33:26,013
Said she wanted him
to leave his wife.
749
00:33:26,074 --> 00:33:27,519
He didn't know
what to do about it.
750
00:33:27,575 --> 00:33:30,579
And that's when he
asked you to take care
of things, is that right?
751
00:33:30,645 --> 00:33:32,147
That's right,
that's Teddy's way.
752
00:33:32,213 --> 00:33:35,387
So he never actually
told you to kill her,
did he?
753
00:33:35,450 --> 00:33:37,794
Like I said,
not in so many words.
754
00:33:38,819 --> 00:33:41,095
You know,
that 10 grand
wasn't a gift.
755
00:33:41,789 --> 00:33:45,828
And what did you do with
that payment that you
allegedly received?
756
00:33:46,227 --> 00:33:49,003
Put most of it in my bike.
Chromed my pipes.
757
00:33:49,363 --> 00:33:52,572
Now, you own a tavern
and a home upstate.
758
00:33:52,633 --> 00:33:56,240
So you've done pretty well
through your association
with Mr. Weldon.
759
00:33:56,704 --> 00:33:58,309
He didn't
hand me nothin'.
760
00:33:58,874 --> 00:34:00,615
I've worked hard
for everything
I've got.
761
00:34:00,676 --> 00:34:02,849
He was the one that
kept you out of jail.
762
00:34:02,911 --> 00:34:06,723
Even now,
his friendship is keeping
you from a lethal injection.
763
00:34:06,782 --> 00:34:12,061
In fact,
if Lisa Edwards exposed him,
you stood to lose everything!
764
00:34:12,121 --> 00:34:14,226
The protection,
the connections,
765
00:34:14,289 --> 00:34:17,793
maybe even your liquor
license, your livelihood.
766
00:34:18,694 --> 00:34:20,605
It'd be the end
of the gravy train.
767
00:34:20,662 --> 00:34:23,006
I wouldn't
have killed her if
he didn't ask me to!
768
00:34:23,065 --> 00:34:27,707
Only as you just said,
he didn't ask you to.
Did he?
769
00:34:38,648 --> 00:34:40,389
I think we're headed
for reasonable doubt.
770
00:34:40,450 --> 00:34:42,396
Weldon takes
the stand tomorrow.
771
00:34:42,452 --> 00:34:44,125
I'd feel a lot better
if we could tie him
772
00:34:44,187 --> 00:34:47,031
a little
closer to the murder
before he takes the stand.
773
00:34:47,090 --> 00:34:49,570
We still
haven't found anything
in his financial records.
774
00:34:49,626 --> 00:34:51,128
Or his wife's.
775
00:34:51,427 --> 00:34:54,840
I think it's time we show
Mrs. Weldon exactly who
she's married to.
776
00:34:55,164 --> 00:34:56,905
You don't think
she already knows?
777
00:34:56,966 --> 00:34:58,673
Well, it's one thing
for a woman to know.
778
00:34:58,735 --> 00:35:01,113
It's another to be
publicly humiliated.
779
00:35:06,976 --> 00:35:10,014
JACK: Did Mr. Weldon
ever offer to leave
his wife?
780
00:35:10,780 --> 00:35:12,782
In the beginning
all the time.
781
00:35:13,149 --> 00:35:14,628
Did he give you a reason?
782
00:35:15,251 --> 00:35:19,667
He said his wife was cold,
that he didn't love her
anymore.
783
00:35:20,458 --> 00:35:22,028
JACK: Anything else?
784
00:35:24,361 --> 00:35:25,738
(SIGHS)
785
00:35:27,698 --> 00:35:30,201
He complained
about the sex.
786
00:35:31,969 --> 00:35:34,711
He said that he only
married her for the money.
787
00:35:35,406 --> 00:35:39,252
He told me he couldn't
wait to leave her
and be with me.
788
00:35:40,711 --> 00:35:43,157
But he never did
leave her, did he?
789
00:35:44,181 --> 00:35:46,684
I don't think
he really intended to.
790
00:35:47,885 --> 00:35:49,694
He was just using me.
791
00:35:50,187 --> 00:35:52,098
Same way
he was using her.
792
00:36:00,265 --> 00:36:03,542
You had
no right to do that
to me and my children.
793
00:36:03,601 --> 00:36:07,811
Your husband has been
living a lie, Mrs. Weldon.
We just showed you the truth.
794
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:12,547
Do you have any idea
what it is like to be
cheated on like that?
795
00:36:12,611 --> 00:36:14,113
Over and over?
796
00:36:15,981 --> 00:36:18,757
We've been through
your husband's accounts.
797
00:36:20,952 --> 00:36:24,593
We didn't find any record of
his payment to Mickey Bastone.
798
00:36:25,090 --> 00:36:27,934
SERENA: We think you might
know where he got the money.
799
00:36:28,493 --> 00:36:30,837
Do you really think
that I would give
my husband
800
00:36:30,896 --> 00:36:33,206
money to have
his mistress killed?
801
00:36:33,932 --> 00:36:35,570
Then where did he get it?
802
00:36:45,211 --> 00:36:46,986
You were right.
803
00:36:47,446 --> 00:36:51,360
I did
hear her voice
on the machine.
804
00:36:53,019 --> 00:36:55,090
She was crying,
805
00:36:55,821 --> 00:36:57,767
begging him to see her.
806
00:37:00,559 --> 00:37:02,095
You don't know
how many times
807
00:37:02,161 --> 00:37:05,438
I have left that
very same message myself,
808
00:37:05,498 --> 00:37:09,378
asking him to
please call me,
please come home.
809
00:37:11,771 --> 00:37:13,751
But you did
call her back?
810
00:37:16,342 --> 00:37:18,584
I asked her to
leave us alone.
811
00:37:21,315 --> 00:37:25,786
I told her that she didn't
know my husband as well as
she thought she did.
812
00:37:28,155 --> 00:37:29,498
What did she say?
813
00:37:31,224 --> 00:37:33,363
She said
she was pregnant,
814
00:37:34,394 --> 00:37:36,533
that Ted was the father.
815
00:37:37,664 --> 00:37:41,043
She said he was going
to leave me and marry her.
816
00:37:42,369 --> 00:37:43,871
What did you tell her?
817
00:37:44,438 --> 00:37:45,917
I just hung up.
818
00:37:48,041 --> 00:37:50,749
Then I went
a little bit crazy.
819
00:37:52,145 --> 00:37:54,523
I started
going through
all his drawers,
820
00:37:54,581 --> 00:37:59,190
looking for love letters,
traces of her.
821
00:38:09,063 --> 00:38:11,168
I found this.
822
00:38:16,337 --> 00:38:19,477
That bastard used
his own child to
do this.
823
00:38:30,118 --> 00:38:32,496
I am not a perfect man.
824
00:38:32,553 --> 00:38:35,397
I admit
I have made mistakes.
825
00:38:36,124 --> 00:38:38,570
But I love
my wife and children.
826
00:38:38,860 --> 00:38:41,569
CROMWELL: Did you have
an affair with Miss Edwards?
827
00:38:42,364 --> 00:38:44,241
I will not
talk about that.
828
00:38:44,299 --> 00:38:46,336
Even if it means
you're convicted?
829
00:38:46,402 --> 00:38:49,281
I am entitled
to my privacy.
830
00:38:49,338 --> 00:38:52,751
My family's entitled to
their privacy.
831
00:38:52,808 --> 00:38:56,153
And the
Edwards are entitled
to their privacy, too.
832
00:38:56,211 --> 00:38:58,191
The Medical Examiner
has testified
833
00:38:58,247 --> 00:39:00,921
that Miss Edwards was
pregnant at the time
of her death.
834
00:39:01,383 --> 00:39:02,726
I am not the father.
835
00:39:02,951 --> 00:39:06,091
But that didn't stop
Miss Edwards from
accusing you?
836
00:39:06,321 --> 00:39:09,461
Lisa began calling me
more and more frequently.
837
00:39:09,525 --> 00:39:13,337
She began threatening me,
threatening my marriage.
838
00:39:13,695 --> 00:39:15,140
Why didn't you
go to the police?
839
00:39:15,197 --> 00:39:16,540
I was trying to help.
840
00:39:16,598 --> 00:39:18,339
She was a young woman.
Unstable.
841
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,041
I didn't
want to ruin
her career or mine.
842
00:39:21,104 --> 00:39:24,108
And I thought
I might be able to
take care of it myself.
843
00:39:24,507 --> 00:39:26,214
By going to
an old friend.
844
00:39:26,276 --> 00:39:27,516
Absolutely not.
845
00:39:27,577 --> 00:39:31,115
It's just that
I had no one else that
I could talk to about it.
846
00:39:31,181 --> 00:39:34,526
And Mickey's someone
I've been friends with
my whole life.
847
00:39:36,152 --> 00:39:39,190
Did you ever ask him
to kill her?
848
00:39:39,255 --> 00:39:41,667
Never. I was
very fond of Lisa.
849
00:39:42,058 --> 00:39:44,868
I would never
have harmed her.
850
00:39:45,762 --> 00:39:47,503
Nothing further.
851
00:39:49,232 --> 00:39:51,405
You asked
Mickey Bastone
to talk to her,
852
00:39:51,467 --> 00:39:53,378
even though you weren't
having an affair with her?
853
00:39:53,503 --> 00:39:55,915
I've already said
I won't comment on that.
854
00:39:55,972 --> 00:39:59,010
Because everyone
deserves their privacy?
855
00:39:59,075 --> 00:40:00,248
That's right.
856
00:40:00,311 --> 00:40:04,054
But didn't the Edwards
deserve something more
than that from you?
857
00:40:04,115 --> 00:40:07,255
When they called you to
tell you that their daughter
was missing,
858
00:40:07,318 --> 00:40:09,025
didn't they deserve
your honesty?
859
00:40:09,086 --> 00:40:10,258
Objection.
860
00:40:10,321 --> 00:40:11,595
Overruled.
861
00:40:12,389 --> 00:40:16,735
As I said, I am
not a perfect man.
I've made mistakes.
862
00:40:16,794 --> 00:40:19,707
Lisa Edwards often spent
the night in your apartment.
863
00:40:19,763 --> 00:40:23,336
I think occasionally
would be more appropriate.
864
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,141
And there was
a spare bedroom.
865
00:40:25,202 --> 00:40:27,978
You also said that
you were fond of her.
866
00:40:28,038 --> 00:40:29,176
I was.
867
00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:31,242
That fondness
would explain
868
00:40:31,308 --> 00:40:34,448
the many phone calls,
restaurant receipts,
expensive gifts...
869
00:40:34,511 --> 00:40:36,684
In retrospect,
I can see how
870
00:40:36,747 --> 00:40:39,887
my relationship with Lisa
might be misconstrued.
871
00:40:40,385 --> 00:40:43,389
But as I said,
I've made mistakes.
872
00:40:43,788 --> 00:40:46,632
None of which apparently
you're willing to own up to.
873
00:40:46,858 --> 00:40:49,031
I don't know what
you're talking about.
874
00:40:50,228 --> 00:40:55,143
People would ask that this
receipt be marked Exhibit 23.
875
00:40:55,500 --> 00:40:57,741
Show it to the witness.
876
00:41:01,173 --> 00:41:03,119
Recognize it, Mr. Weldon?
877
00:41:03,708 --> 00:41:08,179
It's a bank withdrawal
receipt for $10,000.
878
00:41:08,747 --> 00:41:11,227
JACK: Drawn on
your son's account.
879
00:41:13,552 --> 00:41:16,658
Only that's not your son's
signature, is it, Mr. Weldon?
880
00:41:16,721 --> 00:41:19,702
I have no idea.
I would assume
that it is.
881
00:41:19,758 --> 00:41:22,035
You forged
your son's signature,
didn't you, Mr. Weldon?
882
00:41:22,094 --> 00:41:23,573
That is not true!
883
00:41:23,629 --> 00:41:26,735
Forged it so that
you could get the money
884
00:41:26,799 --> 00:41:29,939
to pay Mickey Bastone
to kill Lisa Edwards.
885
00:41:30,002 --> 00:41:31,481
I didn't.
I didn't do it.
886
00:41:31,537 --> 00:41:34,882
You already put
this young woman's parents
887
00:41:34,941 --> 00:41:37,285
through an
unspeakable nightmare,
888
00:41:37,944 --> 00:41:40,390
exposed your
wife to ridicule.
889
00:41:41,013 --> 00:41:45,587
Would you really
force your own son
to testify against you?
890
00:41:59,165 --> 00:42:00,839
They were out for
less than an hour.
891
00:42:00,901 --> 00:42:02,141
Life without parole.
892
00:42:02,202 --> 00:42:04,113
There's some stories
even a jury won't buy.
893
00:42:04,171 --> 00:42:06,515
I just finished walking
Mrs. Weldon through
the clerk's office
894
00:42:06,573 --> 00:42:07,643
to get her
bail money back.
895
00:42:07,708 --> 00:42:09,244
Is she all right?
She was almost giddy.
896
00:42:09,309 --> 00:42:12,620
Then I took a look
at the bail release form.
Take a look at her signature.
897
00:42:13,347 --> 00:42:14,382
So?
898
00:42:14,448 --> 00:42:18,897
Now take a look
at the writing on the
son's withdrawal receipt.
899
00:42:21,021 --> 00:42:23,160
I mean,
you gotta admit,
they are pretty close.
900
00:42:28,629 --> 00:42:30,438
Maybe she got him?
901
00:42:34,735 --> 00:42:37,614
You can see
how the similarities
between your own signature
902
00:42:37,671 --> 00:42:40,174
and the one on that
receipt might concern us.
903
00:42:41,175 --> 00:42:43,553
My husband's already
been found guilty.
904
00:42:43,611 --> 00:42:47,149
I don't see
how your concern
really matters much anymore.
905
00:42:47,215 --> 00:42:48,853
SERENA: It might to a judge.
906
00:42:49,250 --> 00:42:52,527
We can still get a court
to order you to provide
a writing sample.
907
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:54,297
On what basis?
908
00:42:55,223 --> 00:42:57,533
That now you think
Ted isn't guilty?
909
00:42:57,859 --> 00:43:01,102
You do that, you can throw
Ted's conviction right
out the window.
910
00:43:02,530 --> 00:43:04,771
Now, we both know
you won't do that.
911
00:43:05,433 --> 00:43:06,844
Not unless you're sure.
912
00:43:07,101 --> 00:43:08,842
And how can you be?
913
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:13,451
He'll appeal.
914
00:43:15,209 --> 00:43:17,018
Appeals take time.
915
00:43:17,078 --> 00:43:19,456
And most of them
are denied anyway.
916
00:43:20,314 --> 00:43:21,953
If there's nothing else?
917
00:43:22,418 --> 00:43:24,728
Your husband
underestimated you.
918
00:43:25,688 --> 00:43:27,190
Well, like he said,
919
00:43:27,589 --> 00:43:29,694
he's not a perfect man.
920
00:43:30,392 --> 00:43:32,303
He's made some mistakes.
