00:00:05,673 --> 00:00:07,408
(male announcer)
IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM,

2
00:00:07,441 --> 00:00:09,743
THE PEOPLE ARE REPRESENTED
BY TWO SEPARATE

3
00:00:09,777 --> 00:00:11,512
YET EQUALLY IMPORTANT GROUPS--

4
00:00:11,545 --> 00:00:13,581
THE POLICE
WHO INVESTIGATE CRIME

5
00:00:13,614 --> 00:00:16,384
AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS
WHO PROSECUTE THE OFFENDERS.

6
00:00:16,417 --> 00:00:18,152
THESE ARE THEIR STORIES.

7
00:00:23,457 --> 00:00:25,826
CARLOS, GET SOME HELP
WITH THAT, BUDDY.

8
00:00:25,859 --> 00:00:27,528
ARE YOU IN CHARGE HERE?

9
00:00:27,561 --> 00:00:28,396
AT THE MOMENT.

10
00:00:28,429 --> 00:00:30,831
I LIVE IN THE BUILDING
ACROSS THE STREET.

11
00:00:30,864 --> 00:00:32,566
AND, UM, THE JACK-HAMMERING

12
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,069
AT 2:00 A.M,
IT HAS TO STOP.

13
00:00:35,103 --> 00:00:36,570
OKAY, I'LL PASS IT ON.

14
00:00:36,604 --> 00:00:38,639
YOU WANNA GIVE HIM A HAND
WITH THOSE BAGS, PLEASE?

15
00:00:38,672 --> 00:00:41,409
YEAH, I'M SURE YOU'LL
PASS IT ON.

16
00:00:41,442 --> 00:00:43,311
(man)
WHAT MORE AM I
SUPPOSED TO DO?

17
00:00:43,344 --> 00:00:45,213
THE GUY YOU TALKED
TO SAID HE'D PASS IT ON.

18
00:00:45,246 --> 00:00:46,614
HE ONLY SAID THAT
TO GET RID OF ME.

19
00:00:46,647 --> 00:00:49,317
GEE, I WONDER WHY
HE'D WANT TO SAY THAT.

20
00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:51,085
EXCUSE ME?

21
00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:52,520
IT WAS A JOKE.

22
00:00:52,553 --> 00:00:53,787
TOTALLY LAME JOKE.

23
00:00:53,821 --> 00:00:55,623
NO, ROB, IT WASN'T.
IT WAS--

24
00:00:58,692 --> 00:00:59,760
OH, MY GOD!
THE CRANE!

25
00:01:25,219 --> 00:01:27,288
(man)
HIS NAME'S CARLOS.
CARLOS LAZARO.

26
00:01:27,321 --> 00:01:29,223
WAS HE OPERATING
THE CRANE?

27
00:01:29,257 --> 00:01:30,758
NO, NOBODY WAS USING
THE CRANE.

28
00:01:30,791 --> 00:01:32,393
HE MUST'VE JUST BEEN WALKING BY.

29
00:01:32,426 --> 00:01:34,362
(Lupo)
WHAT ABOUT CARLOS'
NEXT OF KIN?

30
00:01:34,395 --> 00:01:35,396
HIS WIFE,

31
00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:36,530
SHE'S SICK IN THE HOSPITAL.

32
00:01:36,564 --> 00:01:37,565
REST OF HIS FAMILY
I DON'T KNOW.

33
00:01:37,598 --> 00:01:39,500
HE'S FROM
THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.

34
00:01:39,533 --> 00:01:41,369
(female reporter)
MR. HARDY, WHAT WENT
THROUGH YOUR HEAD

35
00:01:41,402 --> 00:01:42,403
WHEN YOU GOT THE CALL
ABOUT TODAY'S CRANE COLLAPSE?

36
00:01:42,436 --> 00:01:44,805
THIS IS THE GREATEST
TRAGEDY EVER

37
00:01:44,838 --> 00:01:47,608
TO HAPPEN TO THE HARDY
ORGANIZATION.

38
00:01:47,641 --> 00:01:50,778
EVERYONE AT HARDY
IS COMMITTED TO SAFETY.

39
00:01:50,811 --> 00:01:52,713
AND THIS SITE
IS NO EXCEPTION.

40
00:01:52,746 --> 00:01:53,814
I'M WAYNE HARDY.

41
00:01:53,847 --> 00:01:55,216
THIS IS MY PROJECT.

42
00:01:55,249 --> 00:01:56,584
I'M DETECTIVE LUPO.

43
00:01:56,617 --> 00:01:58,186
THIS IS DETECTIVE BERNARD.

44
00:01:58,219 --> 00:01:59,520
HOMICIDE WITH THE 2-7.

45
00:01:59,553 --> 00:02:00,388
HOMICIDE?

46
00:02:00,421 --> 00:02:03,624
WHAT DO WE NEED
HOMICIDE DETECTIVES FOR?

47
00:02:03,657 --> 00:02:05,859
YOU DON'T,
BUT HE DOES.

48
00:02:05,893 --> 00:02:07,295
UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED,

49
00:02:07,328 --> 00:02:09,330
SIR, THIS IS A CRIME SCENE.

50
00:03:01,649 --> 00:03:03,317
THIS KIND OF THING NEVER HAPPENS
ON A HARDY PROJECT.

51
00:03:03,351 --> 00:03:05,319
I BUILD LUXURY CONDOMINIUMS.

52
00:03:05,353 --> 00:03:06,820
PREMIER MATERIALS.

53
00:03:06,854 --> 00:03:09,223
PREMIER WORKMANSHIP,
TOP TO BOTTOM.

54
00:03:09,257 --> 00:03:10,758
RIGHT, I'VE READ YOUR ADS.

55
00:03:10,791 --> 00:03:11,959
WHO WAS RUNNING YOUR SITE
THIS MORNING?

56
00:03:11,992 --> 00:03:13,227
YOU MET HIM.

57
00:03:13,261 --> 00:03:14,995
THE JUNIOR FOREMAN
GARY TALBOT.

58
00:03:15,028 --> 00:03:18,366
MR. NOLAN, IT SAYS HERE
IN YOUR FINAL BID

59
00:03:18,399 --> 00:03:20,334
FOR THIS PROJECT THAT YOU WERE
GOING TO USE

60
00:03:20,368 --> 00:03:22,436
A T-65 CRANE.

61
00:03:22,470 --> 00:03:25,673
THAT'S RIGHT.

62
00:03:25,706 --> 00:03:27,675
THAT ONE OUT THERE LOOKS
TO BE A T-35.

63
00:03:27,708 --> 00:03:30,478
THAT'S A LOT SMALLER,
ISN'T IT?

64
00:03:30,511 --> 00:03:31,979
T-35.
HE'S RIGHT.

65
00:03:32,012 --> 00:03:33,547
TURNS OUT THE JOB
NEEDED A SMALLER CRANE,

66
00:03:33,581 --> 00:03:34,782
SO THAT'S WHAT WE USED.

67
00:03:34,815 --> 00:03:36,817
AND THAT'S WHAT WE BILLED FOR,
MR. HARDY.

68
00:03:36,850 --> 00:03:38,319
YOU CAN CHECK THE INVOICES.

69
00:03:38,352 --> 00:03:39,320
I DON'T NEED TO SEE
THE INVOICES.

70
00:03:39,353 --> 00:03:40,721
THIS IS MY FIFTH PROJECT

71
00:03:40,754 --> 00:03:41,722
WITH CARL.

72
00:03:41,755 --> 00:03:43,391
HM, THIS IS OUR FIRST.

73
00:03:43,424 --> 00:03:45,326
SO IF YOU DON'T MIND,
WE'LL TAKE THOSE INVOICES.

74
00:03:45,359 --> 00:03:47,461
I USE T-35s ALL THE TIME,

75
00:03:47,495 --> 00:03:49,430
AND THIS ONE WAS 100% SAFE.

76
00:03:49,463 --> 00:03:51,265
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD
FOR IT.

77
00:03:51,299 --> 00:03:53,767
CITY INSPECTOR SAID SO TOO.

78
00:03:56,704 --> 00:03:59,507
23 YEARS I'M INSPECTING SITES
IN THIS CITY,

79
00:03:59,540 --> 00:04:01,375
NEVER HAD A SERIOUS INJURY
ON MY WATCH

80
00:04:01,409 --> 00:04:02,743
AND NOW THIS.

81
00:04:02,776 --> 00:04:04,412
HOMICIDE DETECTIVES
TO BOOT.

82
00:04:04,445 --> 00:04:07,448
JUST STANDARD PROCEDURE,
MR. O'CONNOR.

83
00:04:07,481 --> 00:04:08,582
THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG
WITH THAT CRANE.

84
00:04:08,616 --> 00:04:09,717
I GOT ALL THE PAPERS
RIGHT HERE.

85
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:11,452
ALL RIGHT, TAKE YOUR TIME.

86
00:04:11,485 --> 00:04:12,453
WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

87
00:04:12,486 --> 00:04:14,021
NOW, THE BUILDINGS DEPARTMENT
SAID THEY LOGGED

88
00:04:14,054 --> 00:04:15,623
OVER TWO DOZEN COMPLAINTS
ABOUT THE SITE.

89
00:04:15,656 --> 00:04:17,525
YOU FOLLOWED UP ON LESS
THAN HALF OF THEM.

90
00:04:17,558 --> 00:04:18,692
WELL, IT WAS ALWAYS
THE SAME THING.

91
00:04:18,726 --> 00:04:20,361
NOISE COMPLAINTS
FROM THE NEIGHBORS

92
00:04:20,394 --> 00:04:22,463
ABOUT SOME NIGHT WORK
AT THE SITE.

93
00:04:22,496 --> 00:04:23,864
I ISSUED THREE SEPARATE
VIOLATIONS.

94
00:04:23,897 --> 00:04:25,699
YEAH, AND THE COMPLAINTS
KEPT COMING.

95
00:04:25,733 --> 00:04:27,401
DOESN'T THAT TELL YOU
SOMETHING?

96
00:04:27,435 --> 00:04:29,437
THERE WERE NO SAFETY ISSUES
AT THAT SITE, OKAY?

97
00:04:29,470 --> 00:04:32,906
THIS WAS A FREAK ACCIDENT.

98
00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:33,974
THE CRANE WAS ANCHORED
TO THE BUILDING

99
00:04:34,007 --> 00:04:35,609
WITH STEEL COLLARS

100
00:04:35,643 --> 00:04:37,511
ON THE 6TH, 9TH,
12TH, AND 15TH FLOORS.

101
00:04:37,545 --> 00:04:39,413
WHEN THE COLLARS FAILED,
CRANE CAME DOWN.

102
00:04:39,447 --> 00:04:42,049
DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA
WHICH ONE FAILED FIRST?

103
00:04:42,082 --> 00:04:43,617
OH, YEAH, THIS ONE.

104
00:04:43,651 --> 00:04:45,419
THE NINTH FLOOR.
POINT OF GREATEST STRESS.

105
00:04:45,453 --> 00:04:46,554
ONCE IT WENT,
THE REST WENT POP

106
00:04:46,587 --> 00:04:47,888
LIKE BUTTONS ON A SHIRT.

107
00:04:47,921 --> 00:04:48,956
SO WHY DID THIS ONE FAIL?

108
00:04:48,989 --> 00:04:50,958
OH, WELL, THIS MIGHT HAVE
SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT.

109
00:04:50,991 --> 00:04:54,562
T-35 HAS A LOAD-BEARING
CAPACITY OF SIX TONS PER LIFT.

110
00:04:54,595 --> 00:04:58,399
THESE WORK LOGS SHOW IT LIFTING
6 1/2, 7, EVEN 8 TONS?

111
00:04:58,432 --> 00:05:00,801
AN AVERAGE OF 7.96 TONS
PER LIFT.

112
00:05:00,834 --> 00:05:01,969
DO THAT LONG ENOUGH...

113
00:05:02,002 --> 00:05:04,372
YEAH, SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE.

114
00:05:04,405 --> 00:05:05,339
OVERLOADING THE CRANE.

115
00:05:05,373 --> 00:05:07,341
RUNNING NIGHT SHIFTS.

116
00:05:07,375 --> 00:05:09,109
SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE WAS
IN A HURRY

117
00:05:09,142 --> 00:05:10,544
TO FINISH THAT BUILDING.

118
00:05:10,578 --> 00:05:12,480
WELL, TIME IS MONEY, THOUGH.

119
00:05:12,513 --> 00:05:13,347
SO MAYBE IT WAS
WORTH A LITTLE MONEY

120
00:05:13,381 --> 00:05:14,482
TO HAVE SOMEBODY LOOK
THE OTHER WAY.

121
00:05:14,515 --> 00:05:18,452
THE FORENSIC ACCOUNTANT
IS VERY ANXIOUS TO TALK TO YOU.

122
00:05:18,486 --> 00:05:20,788
GREAT, AFTER A MORNING
OF FORENSIC ENGINEERING,

123
00:05:20,821 --> 00:05:22,456
NOTHING BEATS A LITTLE
FORENSIC ACCOUNTING.

124
00:05:22,490 --> 00:05:23,724
[Bernard chuckles]
HEY, WHAT YOU GOT?

125
00:05:23,757 --> 00:05:25,058
GENTLEMEN, HOLD ON
TO YOUR HAT.

126
00:05:25,092 --> 00:05:26,960
THESE PETTY CASH RECEIPTS
DON'T ADD UP.

127
00:05:26,994 --> 00:05:28,796
PETTY CASH THAT
THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY

128
00:05:28,829 --> 00:05:31,532
KEEPS IN A SAFE
ON THE SITE.

129
00:05:31,565 --> 00:05:33,834
LAST WEEK IT WAS SHORT
$3,660.

130
00:05:33,867 --> 00:05:36,404
WEEK BEFORE THAT SHORT $5,700.

131
00:05:36,437 --> 00:05:38,439
IF SOMEBODY WAS GETTING BRIBED,

132
00:05:38,472 --> 00:05:39,473
MAYBE THAT MONEY
WAS COMING FROM HERE.

133
00:05:39,507 --> 00:05:40,608
WHO'S IN CHARGE
OF THE PETTY CASH?

134
00:05:40,641 --> 00:05:43,343
UH, FOREMAN GARY TALBOT.

135
00:05:46,414 --> 00:05:48,416
YOU CAN'T RECEIPT EVERY
OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE

136
00:05:48,449 --> 00:05:51,118
ON A $200 MILLION BUILDING.

137
00:05:51,151 --> 00:05:53,120
ANYWAY, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
WITH ACCESS TO THE PETTY CASH.

138
00:05:53,153 --> 00:05:55,456
NIGHT SHIFT HAS ITS OWN
FOREMAN.

139
00:05:55,489 --> 00:05:57,591
WE NOTICED YOU GUYS
WERE PULLING A LOT OF OVERTIME

140
00:05:57,625 --> 00:05:59,126
ON TOP OF THE NIGHT SHIFTS.

141
00:05:59,159 --> 00:06:01,462
YOU UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE
TO FINISH THE JOB?

142
00:06:01,495 --> 00:06:03,464
YEAH, THERE'S ALWAYS PRESSURE.

143
00:06:03,497 --> 00:06:06,099
WHAT ABOUT THESE
7-, 8-TON LOADS

144
00:06:06,133 --> 00:06:08,001
ON THAT T-35?

145
00:06:08,035 --> 00:06:10,137
THE CRANE WASN'T MY AREA.

146
00:06:10,170 --> 00:06:12,440
BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT
WHATEVER WE DID ON THAT SITE,

147
00:06:12,473 --> 00:06:13,707
WE GOT WRITTEN APPROVAL
FROM THE INSPECTOR

148
00:06:13,741 --> 00:06:14,542
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

149
00:06:14,575 --> 00:06:16,910
WHERE WOULD WE FIND
THOSE APPROVALS?

150
00:06:16,944 --> 00:06:19,413
I GOT 'EM.
I GOT COPIES OF EVERYTHING.

151
00:06:23,150 --> 00:06:24,718
BEEN IN CONSTRUCTION
LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW

152
00:06:24,752 --> 00:06:26,186
IT'S A PASS THE BUCK
KIND OF BUSINESS.

153
00:06:26,219 --> 00:06:28,121
HONEY, CAN YOU COME HELP ME
WITH LACEY?

154
00:06:28,155 --> 00:06:29,122
SURE.

155
00:06:29,156 --> 00:06:30,424
MY DAUGHTER.

156
00:06:30,458 --> 00:06:33,160
THAT'S FINE.

157
00:06:33,193 --> 00:06:34,762
GUY'S RIGHT.

158
00:06:34,795 --> 00:06:36,096
FAXES FROM THE CITY INSPECTOR

159
00:06:36,129 --> 00:06:38,065
APPROVING THE NIGHT SHIFTS,
THE HEAVIER LOADS.

160
00:06:38,098 --> 00:06:39,433
CHECK THIS OUT.

161
00:06:39,467 --> 00:06:41,969
THE NUMBER THAT THIS
WAS FAXED FROM

162
00:06:42,002 --> 00:06:43,671
DOESN'T MATCH THE NUMBER
ON THE COVER SHEET.

163
00:06:43,704 --> 00:06:45,973
6-3-1 AREA CODE.

164
00:06:46,006 --> 00:06:49,142
A CITY INSPECTOR FAXING
FROM THE HAMPTONS

165
00:06:49,176 --> 00:06:50,678
ON A WEEKDAY AFTERNOON.

166
00:06:50,711 --> 00:06:53,781
NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT.

167
00:06:53,814 --> 00:06:57,017
CAN WE HELP YOU WITH THOSE?

168
00:06:57,050 --> 00:07:01,021
OH, NO, IT'S OKAY.

169
00:07:01,054 --> 00:07:02,923
GET BACK IN THE HOUSE
WITH YOUR MOTHER.

170
00:07:02,956 --> 00:07:05,926
GO ON.

171
00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:08,496
IT'S A FRIEND
OF MY WIFE'S FAMILY

172
00:07:08,529 --> 00:07:09,497
LENT US THE PLACE
FOR THE WEEK.

173
00:07:09,530 --> 00:07:11,231
BUT NOW IT'S, YOU KNOW,

174
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:12,900
TIME TO GET BACK
TO THE REAL WORLD.

175
00:07:12,933 --> 00:07:14,134
THAT FRIEND,
IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE

176
00:07:14,167 --> 00:07:15,836
HUDSON RIVER RENTALS,
WOULD IT?

177
00:07:15,869 --> 00:07:17,170
'CAUSE THEY--THEY SAID
YOUR WIFE

178
00:07:17,204 --> 00:07:20,808
TOOK A THREE-MONTH LEASE
AT $15,000 A MONTH.

179
00:07:20,841 --> 00:07:22,643
NICE RIDE.

180
00:07:22,676 --> 00:07:24,244
FANCY BOARDING SCHOOL
FOR YOUR DAUGHTER.

181
00:07:24,277 --> 00:07:26,647
MY PARTNER AND I,
WE'RE STARTING TO THINK

182
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,216
THAT WE GOT
THE WRONG CITY JOB.

183
00:07:31,218 --> 00:07:32,586
COME ON, GUYS.

184
00:07:32,620 --> 00:07:35,188
CAN'T WE DO THIS TOMORROW?

185
00:07:35,222 --> 00:07:37,024
NAH.

186
00:07:37,057 --> 00:07:39,493
TURN AROUND.

187
00:07:39,527 --> 00:07:42,496
I SPENT 20 YEARS
WATCHING GUYS TAKE BRIBES

188
00:07:42,530 --> 00:07:44,532
AND GET PROMOTED
WHILE DOING IT.

189
00:07:44,565 --> 00:07:45,899
THAT'S NOT ME.

190
00:07:45,933 --> 00:07:48,235
RIGHT, YOU IS THE GUY
THAT TOOK BRIBES

191
00:07:48,268 --> 00:07:49,603
BUT NEVER MADE IT
TO SUPERVISOR.

192
00:07:49,637 --> 00:07:51,238
EDDIE,

193
00:07:51,271 --> 00:07:53,206
YOU HAVE 200,000 IN EXPENSES

194
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,709
THAT WE CAN TRACE BACK
TO YOU.

195
00:07:55,743 --> 00:07:57,845
AND NO LEGITIMATE INCOME
TO COVER IT.

196
00:07:57,878 --> 00:07:59,680
AND NOW THERE'S A BODY.

197
00:07:59,713 --> 00:08:02,550
I JUST WANTED--

198
00:08:02,583 --> 00:08:04,151
I--I--I NEVER MEANT--

199
00:08:04,184 --> 00:08:05,986
YEAH, REMORSE IS GOOD,
EDDIE.

200
00:08:06,019 --> 00:08:10,190
REMORSE WITH A CONFESSION
IS EVEN BETTER.

201
00:08:10,223 --> 00:08:12,560
OR THIS CRANE THING FALLS
ON YOU.

202
00:08:18,031 --> 00:08:20,033
NOLAN THE CONTRACTOR,

203
00:08:20,067 --> 00:08:21,835
HE'S THE ONE WHO FIRST
APPROACHED ME

204
00:08:21,869 --> 00:08:23,270
ABOUT APPROVING
THE SMALLER CRANE

205
00:08:23,303 --> 00:08:24,204
AND THE HEAVIER LOADS.

206
00:08:24,237 --> 00:08:27,040
WHO MADE THE PAYMENTS?

207
00:08:27,074 --> 00:08:28,842
THE FOREMAN.

208
00:08:28,876 --> 00:08:30,110
TALBOT?

209
00:08:30,143 --> 00:08:31,712
NO, THE NIGHT FOREMAN.

210
00:08:31,745 --> 00:08:33,213
TALBOT WASN'T IN THE LOOP.

211
00:08:33,246 --> 00:08:34,648
WHO ELSE WAS?

212
00:08:34,682 --> 00:08:37,250
THE BIG GUY,
WAYNE HARDY.

213
00:08:37,284 --> 00:08:39,587
HE OFFERED TO MAKE SURE
I GOT ASSIGNED

214
00:08:39,620 --> 00:08:43,591
TO HIS NEXT PROJECT
IF THIS ONE CAME IN ON TIME.

215
00:08:43,624 --> 00:08:46,159
[sighs]

216
00:08:46,193 --> 00:08:47,160
[female reporter on TV]
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT
THESE CHARGES?

217
00:08:47,194 --> 00:08:49,296
[Hardy on TV]
BIGGEST MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE!

218
00:08:49,329 --> 00:08:52,232
I PITY HIS CELLMATES.

219
00:08:52,265 --> 00:08:53,867
SOMETHING'S NOT ADDING UP.

220
00:08:53,901 --> 00:08:54,935
THE MISSING MONEY FROM
THE PETTY CASH

221
00:08:54,968 --> 00:08:56,036
THAT WE THOUGHT
THE NIGHT FOREMAN

222
00:08:56,069 --> 00:08:57,304
WAS USING TO BRIBE O'CONNOR,

223
00:08:57,337 --> 00:08:58,271
THE NIGHT FOREMAN SAID
HE USED MONEY

224
00:08:58,305 --> 00:08:59,072
HE GOT STRAIGHT FROM NOLAN.

225
00:08:59,106 --> 00:09:01,709
MAYBE THE PETTY CASH
WAS BEING USED

226
00:09:01,742 --> 00:09:02,776
TO PAY OFF SOMEONE ELSE.

227
00:09:02,810 --> 00:09:05,045
WELL, THESE TWO HAVE
TO BE ARRAIGNED BY TOMORROW

228
00:09:05,078 --> 00:09:07,547
AND YOU KNOW HOW THE D.A.
HATES SURPRISES.

229
00:09:09,883 --> 00:09:12,219
"WHO NEEDS MATH?"
I TOLD MY TEACHERS.

230
00:09:12,252 --> 00:09:14,321
I'M GONNA BE A COP.

231
00:09:14,354 --> 00:09:15,188
DON'T FEEL BAD.

232
00:09:15,222 --> 00:09:17,290
I SAID THE SAME THING
ABOUT BIOLOGY.

233
00:09:17,324 --> 00:09:19,960
NOW I SPEND HALF MY LIFE
LOOKING AT AUTOPSIES.

234
00:09:19,993 --> 00:09:21,194
HERE.

235
00:09:21,228 --> 00:09:23,997
CONTENTS OF THE POCKETS
OF THAT CRANE FATALITY.

236
00:09:24,031 --> 00:09:25,866
CARLOS LAZARO.

237
00:09:25,899 --> 00:09:27,768
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TRACK DOWN
HIS NEXT OF KIN.

238
00:09:27,801 --> 00:09:29,269
LET ME TELL YOU.

239
00:09:29,302 --> 00:09:31,204
DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE
IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

240
00:09:31,238 --> 00:09:32,940
IS JUST AS SCREWED UP
AS HERE.

241
00:09:32,973 --> 00:09:35,609
WAIT, ISN'T HIS WIFE
IN A HOSPITAL IN QUEENS?

242
00:09:35,643 --> 00:09:36,644
YEAH,

243
00:09:36,677 --> 00:09:37,911
BUT SHE'S NONRESPONSIVE.

244
00:09:37,945 --> 00:09:39,146
SOME SORT OF COMA.

245
00:09:39,179 --> 00:09:42,082
I CAN RELATE.
MY WIFE'S NONRESPONSIVE TOO.

246
00:09:42,115 --> 00:09:44,384
NIGHT, FELLAS.

247
00:09:44,417 --> 00:09:47,020
IF I EVER START TALKING
LIKE THAT, SHOOT ME.

248
00:09:47,054 --> 00:09:49,122
LUPES, IT'S THE HOSPITAL BILL
FOR THE CARE

249
00:09:49,156 --> 00:09:51,124
OF MR. LAZARO'S WIFE.

250
00:09:51,158 --> 00:09:54,361
CHECK OUT THE RECORD
OF PAYMENTS.

251
00:09:54,394 --> 00:09:56,396
YOU GOT ONE FOR $3,660

252
00:09:56,429 --> 00:09:58,732
AND ANOTHER ONE FOR $5,700.

253
00:09:58,766 --> 00:10:01,635
THE SAME AMOUNTS MISSING
FROM THE PETTY CASH.

254
00:10:01,669 --> 00:10:02,870
YEAH, THAT MONEY WAS
IN THE SAFE

255
00:10:02,903 --> 00:10:04,738
IN THE CONSTRUCTION OFFICE.

256
00:10:04,772 --> 00:10:06,940
HARD TO BELIEVE A DAY LABORER
LIKE CARLOS

257
00:10:06,974 --> 00:10:08,408
COULD GET AWAY WITH THAT.

258
00:10:08,441 --> 00:10:10,978
THAT LEAVES THAT FOREMAN,
GARY TALBOT.

259
00:10:11,011 --> 00:10:12,680
YOU BUY HIM AS SOME KIND
OF ROBIN HOOD,

260
00:10:12,713 --> 00:10:14,915
STEALING TO HELP CARLOS?

261
00:10:14,948 --> 00:10:15,983
NAW--NO, NO, NO.

262
00:10:16,016 --> 00:10:16,984
NOBODY'S THAT NICE.

263
00:10:17,017 --> 00:10:19,086
NOT EVEN ROBIN HOOD.

264
00:10:22,022 --> 00:10:23,223
THERE'S BEEN NO CHANGE

265
00:10:23,256 --> 00:10:25,258
SINCE THE BROUGHT HER
IN FOUR WEEKS AGO.

266
00:10:25,292 --> 00:10:27,127
MY FIRST THOUGHT
WAS AN OVERDOSE,

267
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,962
BUT HER TOX PANEL
CAME BACK CLEAN.

268
00:10:28,996 --> 00:10:32,299
SO HOW DID MRS. LAZARO
END UP IN A COMA?

269
00:10:32,332 --> 00:10:34,034
WELL, I FOUND CHLORINE
IN HER LUNG TISSUE,

270
00:10:34,067 --> 00:10:35,335
SO MY BEST GUEST
IS SHE DROWNED.

271
00:10:35,368 --> 00:10:36,436
ARE YOU SURE?

272
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:38,371
THE 9-1-1 PRINT-OUT
SAID HER HUSBAND

273
00:10:38,405 --> 00:10:39,940
CAME HOME FROM WORK
AND FOUND HER

274
00:10:39,973 --> 00:10:41,241
PASSED OUT IN THE LIVING ROOM.

275
00:10:41,274 --> 00:10:42,876
THIS WAS A DRY DROWNING.

276
00:10:42,910 --> 00:10:45,078
IT'S BASICALLY A DELAYED

277
00:10:45,112 --> 00:10:46,213
REACTION DROWNING.

278
00:10:46,246 --> 00:10:47,681
THE PATIENT INHALES WATER.

279
00:10:47,715 --> 00:10:49,182
NOT ENOUGH TO KILL THEM
RIGHT THEN AND THERE.

280
00:10:49,216 --> 00:10:51,919
BUT IT STARTS THIS CHAIN
REACTION IN THE LUNGS WHICH,

281
00:10:51,952 --> 00:10:56,056
ABSENT MEDICAL INTERVENTION,
ULTIMATELY RESULTS IN DEATH.

282
00:10:56,089 --> 00:10:58,992
OR AS WITH MRS. LAZARO,
A PERSISTENT COMA.

283
00:10:59,026 --> 00:11:00,928
SO DURING THIS CHAIN REACTION,

284
00:11:00,961 --> 00:11:03,263
SHE'S WHAT, WALKING AROUND
LIKE NORMAL?

285
00:11:03,296 --> 00:11:05,733
WALKING AROUND, YES.
NORMAL, NO.

286
00:11:05,766 --> 00:11:08,435
HER BEHAVIOR WOULD'VE BECOME
INCREASINGLY ERRATIC

287
00:11:08,468 --> 00:11:09,837
UNTIL SHE LOST CONSCIOUSNESS.

288
00:11:09,870 --> 00:11:11,739
CAN YOU PINPOINT EXACTLY WHEN

289
00:11:11,772 --> 00:11:13,173
SHE INHALED THE CHLORINATED
WATER?

290
00:11:13,206 --> 00:11:15,142
MY BEST GUESS IS IT HAPPENED

291
00:11:15,175 --> 00:11:17,745
10-12 HOURS BEFORE
SHE LANDED IN MY E.R.

292
00:11:17,778 --> 00:11:19,880
DR. GRABER, DR. KELLEN
IS LOOKING FOR YOU.

293
00:11:19,913 --> 00:11:20,848
GOOD LUCK.

294
00:11:20,881 --> 00:11:22,082
ALL RIGHT, THANKS.

295
00:11:26,286 --> 00:11:29,156
SO SAD ABOUT HER HUSBAND.

296
00:11:29,189 --> 00:11:31,224
HE WAS HERE EVERY DAY
AFTER WORK.

297
00:11:31,258 --> 00:11:32,726
EVERY DAY.

298
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,828
HE EVER TALK ABOUT
HOW SHE MIGHT'VE DROWNED?

299
00:11:34,862 --> 00:11:35,695
NOPE.

300
00:11:35,729 --> 00:11:37,464
SHE EVER HAVE ANY FRIENDS
VISIT HER?

301
00:11:37,497 --> 00:11:38,732
UM, HER NEIGHBORS
THE FIRST WEEK.

302
00:11:38,766 --> 00:11:40,000
SINCE THEN IT'S JUST BEEN
HER HUSBAND.

303
00:11:40,033 --> 00:11:43,303
SOMETIMES THIS GUY GARY.

304
00:11:43,336 --> 00:11:44,972
GARY?

305
00:11:45,005 --> 00:11:46,306
UH, HOW OFTEN DOES HE COME?

306
00:11:46,339 --> 00:11:49,042
EVERY WEEK.
THURSDAYS, LATE.

307
00:11:49,076 --> 00:11:51,979
HE SAYS HE'S A FAMILY FRIEND.

308
00:11:52,012 --> 00:11:53,881
SUCH A SHAME.
AMELIA'S SO BEAUTIFUL.

309
00:11:59,987 --> 00:12:01,755
THE THURSDAYS ARE WHEN
THE PAYMENTS WERE MADE

310
00:12:01,789 --> 00:12:02,790
FOR HER CARE.

311
00:12:02,823 --> 00:12:06,293
ROBIN HOOD OR ROBIN CREEP.

312
00:12:06,326 --> 00:12:07,394
YOU KNOW, IF TALBOT
WAS STEALING

313
00:12:07,427 --> 00:12:08,896
TO PAY FOR HER HOSPITAL BILLS,

314
00:12:08,929 --> 00:12:10,197
MAYBE HE HAD SOMETHING TO DO
WITH PUTTING HER HERE.

315
00:12:10,230 --> 00:12:13,233
GUILT MAKES PEOPLE DO
EXTRAORDINARY THINGS.

316
00:12:22,342 --> 00:12:23,443
ALL DUE RESPECT, LOO,

317
00:12:23,476 --> 00:12:24,978
NICE AS YOU ARE,
I JUST DON'T SEE YOU

318
00:12:25,012 --> 00:12:26,179
STEALING FROM THE COMPANY TILL

319
00:12:26,213 --> 00:12:28,115
TO PAY FOR MY WIFE'S
HOSPITAL CARE.

320
00:12:28,148 --> 00:12:29,983
UH, ASSUMING I HAD A WIFE.

321
00:12:30,017 --> 00:12:31,484
WHO SAID I WAS NICE?

322
00:12:31,518 --> 00:12:32,519
[laughter]

323
00:12:32,552 --> 00:12:33,720
SO WHAT ARE WE SUSPECTING?

324
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:36,123
TALBOT HAD SOMETHING TO DO
WITH THIS WOMAN'S NEAR-DROWNING?

325
00:12:36,156 --> 00:12:38,158
WELL, MAYBE THEY HAD A LOT MORE
TO DO WITH EACH OTHER.

326
00:12:38,191 --> 00:12:41,161
SO NOW WE HAVE TALBOT
AND CARLOS' WIFE

327
00:12:41,194 --> 00:12:42,863
HAVING AN AFFAIR.

328
00:12:42,896 --> 00:12:43,831
THEY'RE KICKING BACK

329
00:12:43,864 --> 00:12:45,198
IN A MOTEL HOT TUB.

330
00:12:45,232 --> 00:12:47,901
MAYBE ONE OF 'EM STARTS MAKING
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.

331
00:12:47,935 --> 00:12:49,036
AND THINGS GOT UGLY FROM THERE.

332
00:12:49,069 --> 00:12:50,537
AMELIA ENDS UP IN THE HOSPITAL

333
00:12:50,570 --> 00:12:51,604
WITH A LUNG FULL OF WATER

334
00:12:51,638 --> 00:12:55,008
WHILE TALBOT ENDS UP
WITH HEART FULL OF REMORSE.

335
00:12:55,042 --> 00:12:58,111
SO THE CRANE FALLING ON CARLOS
HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

336
00:12:58,145 --> 00:12:59,880
NOT UNLESS TALBOT PULLED
THE CRANE DOWN ON TOP OF HIM.

337
00:12:59,913 --> 00:13:02,449
THEN THESE ARE
TWO UNRELATED CRIMES.

338
00:13:02,482 --> 00:13:04,952
SO ONE OF THEM WAS JUST
A SWIMMING ACCIDENT.

339
00:13:04,985 --> 00:13:06,954
LISTEN, TALBOT IS
AN IMPORTANT WITNESS

340
00:13:06,987 --> 00:13:08,555
AGAINST THE CITY INSPECTOR

341
00:13:08,588 --> 00:13:11,024
AND THE D.A. DOESN'T WANT US
MESSING WITH THAT CASE.

342
00:13:11,058 --> 00:13:12,525
YOU TELLING US TO BURY THIS?

343
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,928
OPEN A NEW ONE.

344
00:13:14,962 --> 00:13:17,030
FIRST ITEM,
SEARCH LAZARO'S HOME.

345
00:13:20,467 --> 00:13:22,102
I NEVER SEE AMELIA
WITH ANY MAN

346
00:13:22,135 --> 00:13:23,603
EXCEPT CARLOS.

347
00:13:23,636 --> 00:13:25,338
NO OTHER MAN.
SHE LOVE HIM.

348
00:13:25,372 --> 00:13:27,374
SO DID YOU SEE HER
THE DAY SHE GOT SICK?

349
00:13:27,407 --> 00:13:29,542
SI, IN THE ELEVATOR.

350
00:13:29,576 --> 00:13:31,144
I THOUGHT SHE WAS DRUNK.

351
00:13:31,178 --> 00:13:33,446
SHE DIDN'T REMEMBER WHAT FLOOR
SHE LIVE IN.

352
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:34,982
SHE SAY SHE DON'T
FEEL SO GOOD,

353
00:13:35,015 --> 00:13:36,383
SO I TELL HER
GO TO THE DOCTOR.
[pager beeping]

354
00:13:36,416 --> 00:13:38,418
AMELIA EVER GO SWIMMING?

355
00:13:38,451 --> 00:13:40,387
NAH, I THINK AMELIA'S AFRAID
OF THE WATER.

356
00:13:40,420 --> 00:13:41,955
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT?

357
00:13:41,989 --> 00:13:42,956
WELL, THERE IS THIS POOL

358
00:13:42,990 --> 00:13:44,524
OVER HERE IN THE PARK.

359
00:13:44,557 --> 00:13:46,559
IT'S NOT DEEP.
IT'S FOR KIDS.

360
00:13:46,593 --> 00:13:48,862
BUT ONE TIME THE WIND
TAKE HER HAT

361
00:13:48,896 --> 00:13:50,998
INTO THE WATER.

362
00:13:51,031 --> 00:13:52,032
SHE WAS AFRAID TO GO IN.

363
00:13:52,065 --> 00:13:53,033
SHE ASKED MY SON TO GET IT.

364
00:13:53,066 --> 00:13:55,969
I HAVE TO GO.
[pager beeping]

365
00:14:01,041 --> 00:14:02,209
HEY, LUPES.

366
00:14:02,242 --> 00:14:04,011
YOU GOT TALBOT'S NUMBER
ON YOU?

367
00:14:04,044 --> 00:14:06,079
YEAH.
IS THAT AMELIA'S PHONE?

368
00:14:06,113 --> 00:14:08,648
YEAH, PREPAID,
NO I.D. CELL PHONE

369
00:14:08,681 --> 00:14:11,484
WITH TWO NUMBERS
IN THE ADDRESS BOOK.

370
00:14:11,518 --> 00:14:13,386
ONE FOR CARLOS AND...

371
00:14:13,420 --> 00:14:14,621
THE OTHER FOR TALBOT?

372
00:14:14,654 --> 00:14:16,656
HOW COZY.

373
00:14:16,689 --> 00:14:18,291
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT
THE MISSING MONEY.

374
00:14:18,325 --> 00:14:19,659
PROBABLY WENT IN THAT
CITY INSPECTOR'S POCKET.

375
00:14:19,692 --> 00:14:20,894
NO, NO, NO.

376
00:14:20,928 --> 00:14:21,895
SEE, WE KNOW WHERE IT WENT.

377
00:14:21,929 --> 00:14:22,963
IT ALL MATCHES UP.

378
00:14:22,996 --> 00:14:25,665
THE MISSING MONEY
AND THE MONEY

379
00:14:25,698 --> 00:14:26,666
THAT YOU PAID TO THE HOSPITAL.

380
00:14:26,699 --> 00:14:27,968
THAT I PAID?

381
00:14:28,001 --> 00:14:29,569
THE NURSES RECOGNIZED YOU,
GARY.

382
00:14:29,602 --> 00:14:32,639
ALL RIGHT, LOOK,
CARLOS WAS HAVING A HARD TIME.

383
00:14:32,672 --> 00:14:34,007
THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT
SHIPPING AMELIA BACK

384
00:14:34,041 --> 00:14:35,008
TO HER OWN COUNTRY--

385
00:14:35,042 --> 00:14:35,909
DON'T EVEN WASTE
YOUR BREATH.

386
00:14:35,943 --> 00:14:38,111
BECAUSE WE FOUND THIS ADORABLE
LITTLE PHONE

387
00:14:38,145 --> 00:14:39,980
IN AMELIA'S PURSE.

388
00:14:40,013 --> 00:14:42,615
IT'S PREPAID, NO I.D.,
UNTRACEABLE.

389
00:14:42,649 --> 00:14:45,218
PERFECT FOR PEOPLE HAVING
EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS.

390
00:14:45,252 --> 00:14:46,386
NO.

391
00:14:46,419 --> 00:14:48,922
I LOVE MY WIFE.

392
00:14:48,956 --> 00:14:49,756
THAT'S IT.

393
00:14:49,789 --> 00:14:53,226
I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU GUYS
ANYMORE.

394
00:14:53,260 --> 00:14:55,028
YOU KNOW, WITH TWO
OF THE INVOLVED PARTIES

395
00:14:55,062 --> 00:14:56,363
EITHER DEAD OR IN A COMA,

396
00:14:56,396 --> 00:14:58,398
DEPENDING ON HOW WELL
TALBOT COVERED HIS TRACKS,

397
00:14:58,431 --> 00:15:00,133
IT'S GONNA BE HARD PROVING
HE WAS HAVING AN AFFAIR.

398
00:15:03,370 --> 00:15:06,940
THERE'S ALWAYS TALBOT'S WIFE.

399
00:15:06,974 --> 00:15:08,408
EVERY MORNING'S THE SAME.

400
00:15:08,441 --> 00:15:10,443
GARY WOULD'VE BEEN HELPING ME
WITH LACEY.

401
00:15:10,477 --> 00:15:13,680
BUT TUESDAY FOUR WEEKS AGO,
HOW WOULD I REMEMBER?

402
00:15:13,713 --> 00:15:15,615
THAT WAS THE DAY
THAT THE WIFE

403
00:15:15,648 --> 00:15:18,651
OF ONE OF YOUR HUSBAND'S
EMPLOYEES WAS FOUND IN A COMA.

404
00:15:18,685 --> 00:15:20,320
AMELIA LAZARO.

405
00:15:20,353 --> 00:15:22,389
THAT NAME MEAN ANYTHING
TO YOU?

406
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:25,192
AMELIA LAZARO?
WHY ARE YOU ASKING?

407
00:15:25,225 --> 00:15:27,961
BECAUSE YOUR HUSBAND'S NUMBER
WAS FOUND ON HER PHONE.

408
00:15:27,995 --> 00:15:30,163
I--I GAVE HER THAT PHONE

409
00:15:30,197 --> 00:15:31,731
WITH OUR NUMBER PROGRAMMED
ON IT.

410
00:15:31,764 --> 00:15:34,067
WHY--WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

411
00:15:34,101 --> 00:15:35,735
BECAUSE SHE WORKED FOR US
A FEW DAYS A WEEK

412
00:15:35,768 --> 00:15:37,237
HELPING OUT WITH LACEY.

413
00:15:37,270 --> 00:15:39,439
IS THERE ANY REASON YOUR HUSBAND
WOULDN'T

414
00:15:39,472 --> 00:15:40,540
HAVE MENTIONED THAT TO US?

415
00:15:40,573 --> 00:15:43,543
AMELIA DOESN'T HAVE
ANY PAPERS.

416
00:15:43,576 --> 00:15:46,046
WE WERE PAYING HER
UNDER THE TABLE.

417
00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:47,014
DID YOU KNOW THAT
YOUR HUSBAND

418
00:15:47,047 --> 00:15:48,248
WAS VISITING HER
IN THE HOSPITAL?

419
00:15:48,281 --> 00:15:49,249
WELL, WHY WOULDN'T HE?

420
00:15:49,282 --> 00:15:51,351
SHE WORKED FOR US.

421
00:15:51,384 --> 00:15:52,385
WELL, WE THINK YOUR HUSBAND
WAS PAYING

422
00:15:52,419 --> 00:15:53,486
FOR HER MEDICAL BILLS
WITH MONEY

423
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,024
HE WAS STEALING FROM HIS WORK.

424
00:15:57,057 --> 00:15:58,325
YOU SEE,
IN OUR EXPERIENCE,

425
00:15:58,358 --> 00:16:00,427
THAT GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND
WHAT SOMEONE WOULD DO

426
00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:03,296
FOR THEIR EMPLOYEE UNLESS
THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE

427
00:16:03,330 --> 00:16:04,331
GOING ON BETWEEN THEM.

428
00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:07,700
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

429
00:16:07,734 --> 00:16:08,701
SHE JUST HELPED US OUT
WITH OUR DAUGHTER.

430
00:16:08,735 --> 00:16:10,670
THAT'S ALL.

431
00:16:10,703 --> 00:16:12,139
IF YOU DON'T MIND,
I HAVE TO TAKE LACEY

432
00:16:12,172 --> 00:16:13,640
TO THE DOCTOR.

433
00:16:15,775 --> 00:16:18,778
OH, THESE ARE WATER WINGS,
RIGHT?

434
00:16:18,811 --> 00:16:20,180
THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE CALLED,
THEY'RE CUTE.

435
00:16:20,213 --> 00:16:22,415
YOU--YOU TAKE YOUR DAUGHTER
SWIMMING?

436
00:16:22,449 --> 00:16:25,052
IT'S WATER THERAPY.

437
00:16:25,085 --> 00:16:26,753
WATER THERAPY.

438
00:16:26,786 --> 00:16:29,222
THAT MEANS TALBOT HAS ACCESS
TO A POOL

439
00:16:29,256 --> 00:16:31,491
WHICH MAY BE WHERE
THE CHLORINATED WATER

440
00:16:31,524 --> 00:16:33,760
IN AMELIA'S LUNGS
CAME FROM.

441
00:16:33,793 --> 00:16:36,329
EXCEPT TALBOT ALIBIS
FOR THE 12 HOURS

442
00:16:36,363 --> 00:16:38,098
BEFORE AMELIA DROPPED
INTO A COMA.

443
00:16:38,131 --> 00:16:39,666
HE WAS PULLING DOUBLE SHIFTS

444
00:16:39,699 --> 00:16:41,734
AT WAYNE HARDY'S
LUXURY SALT MINE.

445
00:16:41,768 --> 00:16:43,236
WELL, THAT LEAVES MRS. TALBOT.

446
00:16:43,270 --> 00:16:45,538
SHE MAY'VE GOTTEN INTO IT
WITH AMELIA

447
00:16:45,572 --> 00:16:47,207
IF SHE SUSPECTED HER HUSBAND
WAS CHEATING ON HER.

448
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,076
IT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN
THE FIRST TIME.

449
00:16:49,109 --> 00:16:50,077
A DIVORCE PETITION

450
00:16:50,110 --> 00:16:52,179
GARY TALBOT FILED
LAST YEAR.

451
00:16:52,212 --> 00:16:54,247
IT WAS WITHDRAWN
A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER.

452
00:16:54,281 --> 00:16:55,715
SOUNDS LIKE THIS GUY
WAS JUST ITCHING

453
00:16:55,748 --> 00:16:57,284
TO GET OUT OF HIS MARRIAGE.

454
00:16:57,317 --> 00:16:58,751
MM-HMM, AND SANDRA KNEW
DAMN WELL WHY.

455
00:16:58,785 --> 00:17:01,421
WELL, THE QUESTION IS,
CAN WE PUT SANDRA

456
00:17:01,454 --> 00:17:03,356
WITH AMELIA ON THE DAY
SHE WENT INTO A COMA?

457
00:17:03,390 --> 00:17:04,557
I CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT.

458
00:17:04,591 --> 00:17:07,394
9:26 A.M., SANDRA CHARGED
TWO METRO CARDS

459
00:17:07,427 --> 00:17:09,229
AT THE 86TH AND LEX STATION
NEAR THEIR APARTMENT.

460
00:17:09,262 --> 00:17:10,830
TWO METRO CARDS.

461
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:11,831
ONE FOR HER AND LACEY,
THE OTHER FOR AMELIA.

462
00:17:11,864 --> 00:17:13,600
THERE YOU GO.

463
00:17:13,633 --> 00:17:14,534
HALF AN HOUR LATER,
THERE'S A PURCHASE AT A DELI

464
00:17:14,567 --> 00:17:17,070
ON UNION SQUARE
AND 90 MINUTES AFTER THAT

465
00:17:17,104 --> 00:17:19,406
A CHARGE AT A DRUG STORE
AT 18TH AND PARK.

466
00:17:19,439 --> 00:17:21,741
AN HOUR AND A HALF
IN A THREE-BLOCK RADIUS.

467
00:17:21,774 --> 00:17:23,310
IS THERE A SWIMMING POOL
THERE?

468
00:17:23,343 --> 00:17:24,711
RIGHT.

469
00:17:24,744 --> 00:17:28,348
THE MICHAEL PHELPS WANNABES
CLEAR OUT BY 10:00.

470
00:17:28,381 --> 00:17:30,817
MRS. TALBOT HAD PERMISSION
TO BRING HER DAUGHTER IN

471
00:17:30,850 --> 00:17:32,819
BETWEEN 10:00 AND 11:00
WHEN THERE WAS NOBODY HERE

472
00:17:32,852 --> 00:17:34,521
TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE KID
SCREECHING.

473
00:17:34,554 --> 00:17:35,588
WHAT ABOUT THIS WOMAN?

474
00:17:35,622 --> 00:17:37,757
HAVE YOU SEEN HER WITH THEM?

475
00:17:37,790 --> 00:17:40,427
SURE, YEAH, THE MAID,
THE HELPER, WHATEVER.

476
00:17:40,460 --> 00:17:41,728
SHE DIDN'T LIKE THE WATER

477
00:17:41,761 --> 00:17:43,363
SO SHE'D STAND ON THE EDGE
OF THE POOL,

478
00:17:43,396 --> 00:17:44,664
HAND MRS. TALBOT TOWELS,

479
00:17:44,697 --> 00:17:45,832
HELP THE LITTLE GIRL
IN AND OUT OF THE WHEELCHAIR.

480
00:17:45,865 --> 00:17:46,933
THINGS LIKE THAT.

481
00:17:46,966 --> 00:17:49,336
DO YOU REMEMBER THE LAST TIME
THAT THEY WERE HERE?

482
00:17:49,369 --> 00:17:50,803
MAYBE ABOUT FOUR WEEKS AGO?

483
00:17:50,837 --> 00:17:53,106
SURE, YEAH, THE HELPER FELL
IN THE POOL.

484
00:17:54,807 --> 00:17:56,309
HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?

485
00:17:56,343 --> 00:17:57,144
I DIDN'T SEE.

486
00:17:57,177 --> 00:17:59,179
I WAS HERE,
I HEARD SOME ARGUING,

487
00:17:59,212 --> 00:18:00,180
AND THEN A BIG SPLASH.

488
00:18:00,213 --> 00:18:01,714
WHAT WAS THE ARGUMENT ABOUT?

489
00:18:01,748 --> 00:18:03,316
I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING
FROM IN HERE.

490
00:18:03,350 --> 00:18:05,352
WAY TOO MUCH ECHO BOUNCING
OFF THE TILES.

491
00:18:05,385 --> 00:18:06,719
THAT BIG SPLASH,

492
00:18:06,753 --> 00:18:09,489
COULD IT HAVE BEEN
THE LITTLE GIRL OR MRS. TALBOT?

493
00:18:09,522 --> 00:18:11,158
I GUESS IT COULD'VE BEEN,

494
00:18:11,191 --> 00:18:13,726
BUT WHEN I WENT OUT
TO THE POOL,

495
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,562
THE WERE BONE DRY
AND THE HELPER

496
00:18:15,595 --> 00:18:16,696
WAS STANDING THERE
SOAKED AND CRYING.

497
00:18:16,729 --> 00:18:18,865
SO YOU TELL ME.

498
00:18:18,898 --> 00:18:21,601
NOBODY SAW SANDRA TALBOT
PUSH HER IN THE POOL.

499
00:18:21,634 --> 00:18:22,602
BUT THERE'S CIRCUMSTANTIAL
EVIDENCE.

500
00:18:22,635 --> 00:18:23,636
THERE WAS A BIG SPLASH.

501
00:18:23,670 --> 00:18:24,637
AMELIA WAS SOAKING WET.

502
00:18:24,671 --> 00:18:26,739
YEAH, AND EVERYBODY KNEW
SHE WAS AFRAID OF WATER.

503
00:18:26,773 --> 00:18:28,641
SO IT'S NOT LIKE
SHE JUST DOVE IN.

504
00:18:28,675 --> 00:18:30,843
EVEN IF MRS. TALBOT
PUSHED HER IN,

505
00:18:30,877 --> 00:18:32,512
SHE GOT OUT AND WALKED AWAY.

506
00:18:32,545 --> 00:18:33,680
YEAH, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER.

507
00:18:33,713 --> 00:18:35,648
IF SHE HADN'T BEEN PUSHED
IN THE POOL IN THE FIRST PLACE,

508
00:18:35,682 --> 00:18:36,716
SHE WOULDN'T BE IN A COMA
RIGHT NOW.

509
00:18:36,749 --> 00:18:38,751
IT'S ATTEMPTED MURDER.

510
00:18:45,558 --> 00:18:46,326
MRS. TALBOT,
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST

511
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:47,294
FOR THE MURDER
OF AMELIA LAZARO.

512
00:18:47,327 --> 00:18:48,728
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

513
00:18:48,761 --> 00:18:49,596
HEY!
(Sandra)
GARY!

514
00:18:49,629 --> 00:18:50,297
IT'S OKAY, BABY.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS.

515
00:18:50,330 --> 00:18:53,266
LACEY, MOMMY WILL BE RIGHT BACK.

516
00:18:53,300 --> 00:18:54,467
STAND BACK.
NO!

517
00:18:54,501 --> 00:18:55,735
MR. TALBOT.

518
00:18:55,768 --> 00:18:56,769
SHE'S DONE NOTHING!

519
00:18:56,803 --> 00:18:58,371
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK,
OKAY, HONEY!

520
00:18:58,405 --> 00:18:59,706
I'LL TAKE CARE OF HER, BABY.
IT'S OKAY.

521
00:18:59,739 --> 00:19:01,241
DON'T WORRY.

522
00:19:01,274 --> 00:19:03,276
OKAY, SWEETIE.

523
00:19:08,548 --> 00:19:09,616
DOCKET NUMBER 4-2-6-4-1.

524
00:19:09,649 --> 00:19:10,883
PEOPLE V. SANDRA TALBOT.

525
00:19:10,917 --> 00:19:12,352
ATTEMPTED MURDER
IN THE SECOND DEGREE.

526
00:19:12,385 --> 00:19:13,820
ASSAULT IN THE FIRST DEGREE.

527
00:19:13,853 --> 00:19:16,356
WE PLEAD NOT GUILTY
AND REQUEST R.O.R.

528
00:19:16,389 --> 00:19:17,757
FOR A CLASS A-1 FELONY?

529
00:19:17,790 --> 00:19:19,192
THIS WAS A SLIP AND FALL.

530
00:19:19,226 --> 00:19:21,328
WELL, MR. GOODWIN CAN ARGUE THAT
TO A JURY.

531
00:19:21,361 --> 00:19:23,830
(Goodwin)
YOUR HONOR, MY CLIENT'S
NINE-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER

532
00:19:23,863 --> 00:19:25,498
HAS STATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY.

533
00:19:25,532 --> 00:19:28,401
SHE CAN'T MOVE, EAT,
OR GO TO THE BATHROOM

534
00:19:28,435 --> 00:19:29,469
WITHOUT ASSISTANCE.

535
00:19:29,502 --> 00:19:30,770
MY CLIENT'S HUSBAND
HAS TO WORK

536
00:19:30,803 --> 00:19:32,239
TO SUPPORT THE FAMILY.

537
00:19:32,272 --> 00:19:33,706
THERE IS NO OTHER HELP.

538
00:19:33,740 --> 00:19:34,741
MY CLIENT NEEDS TO BE HOME.

539
00:19:34,774 --> 00:19:36,543
SHE PUT HER CARETAKER
IN A COMA

540
00:19:36,576 --> 00:19:38,645
AND NOW SHE BEGS MERCY
BECAUSE SHE HAS NO CARETAKER.

541
00:19:38,678 --> 00:19:40,713
YOU BOTH OVERSHOT THE MARK,
COUNSELORS.

542
00:19:40,747 --> 00:19:42,215
BAIL IS SET AT 200,000.

543
00:19:42,249 --> 00:19:43,283
[bangs gavel]

544
00:19:43,316 --> 00:19:44,617
NEXT UP.

545
00:19:44,651 --> 00:19:46,519
YOU KNOW 200 GRAND'S
OUT OF THEIR REACH.

546
00:19:46,553 --> 00:19:48,388
YEAH?
THEN LOWER YOUR RETAINER.

547
00:19:48,421 --> 00:19:50,523
YOU HAVE NO EYEBALL WITNESS,

548
00:19:50,557 --> 00:19:51,691
A MOTIVE YOU CAN'T PROVE,

549
00:19:51,724 --> 00:19:53,726
AND A LINK BETWEEN
THE ALLEGED ACT

550
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,762
AND THE VICTIM'S COMA
THAT'S MORE SCIENCE FICTION

551
00:19:55,795 --> 00:19:57,364
THAN MEDICAL FACT.

552
00:19:57,397 --> 00:19:58,365
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

553
00:19:58,398 --> 00:20:00,467
ASSAULT TWO,
SUSPENDED SENTENCE.

554
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:02,369
ASSAULT ONE,
SHE DOES FIVE YEARS.

555
00:20:02,402 --> 00:20:03,736
THE WHOLE IDEA OF A PLEA

556
00:20:03,770 --> 00:20:05,372
IS TO KEEP MRS. TALBOT
WITH HER DAUGHTER.

557
00:20:05,405 --> 00:20:08,541
OUR IDEA IS TO GIVE
AMELIA LAZARO JUSTICE.

558
00:20:08,575 --> 00:20:09,976
YOUR CLIENT KNEW ABOUT
THE AFFAIR

559
00:20:10,009 --> 00:20:11,678
AND SHE TRIED TO DROWN
THE OTHER WOMAN.

560
00:20:11,711 --> 00:20:13,480
NOW SHE HAS TO ANSWER
FOR THAT.

561
00:20:13,513 --> 00:20:16,816
OUR FIRST PRETRIAL
DISCOVERY REQUEST.

562
00:20:16,849 --> 00:20:20,320
APPLICATION FOR ALL EVIDENCE
THE POLICE SEIZE FROM THE POOL.

563
00:20:20,353 --> 00:20:22,489
SEE YA.

564
00:20:22,522 --> 00:20:25,525
FROM A CRANE COLLAPSE
TO A JEALOUS WIFE.

565
00:20:25,558 --> 00:20:26,893
COPS JUST FOLLOWED
THE FACTS.

566
00:20:26,926 --> 00:20:27,994
THIS IS WHERE THEY LED US.

567
00:20:28,027 --> 00:20:29,629
TO A CRIME WITH NO WITNESSES

568
00:20:29,662 --> 00:20:30,897
AND NO FORENSIC EVIDENCE.

569
00:20:30,930 --> 00:20:32,799
NOT QUITE.

570
00:20:32,832 --> 00:20:34,367
THE DEFENSE ASKED US
TO PRODUCE A FLOAT POLE

571
00:20:34,401 --> 00:20:35,502
FROM THE POOL.

572
00:20:35,535 --> 00:20:36,636
I HAD THE POLICE CHECK IT

573
00:20:36,669 --> 00:20:39,506
AND THEY FOUND SANDRA'S PRINTS
ON ONE END OF THE POLE

574
00:20:39,539 --> 00:20:40,640
AND AMELIA'S PARTIALS
ON THE OTHER.

575
00:20:40,673 --> 00:20:41,874
THE LAWYER'S GONNA ARGUE

576
00:20:41,908 --> 00:20:43,710
SANDRA USED THE POLE
TO FISH AMELIA

577
00:20:43,743 --> 00:20:45,312
OUT OF THE WATER
AFTER PUSHING HER IN.

578
00:20:45,345 --> 00:20:46,513
IT'S MITIGATION.

579
00:20:46,546 --> 00:20:47,547
IT'S WORSE THAN THAT.

580
00:20:47,580 --> 00:20:48,748
THEY'LL ARGUE RENUNCIATION.

581
00:20:48,781 --> 00:20:50,783
SANDRA TALBOT HAD A CHANGE
OF HEART

582
00:20:50,817 --> 00:20:51,984
AFTER TRYING TO DROWN AMELIA.

583
00:20:52,018 --> 00:20:54,787
SHE COULD GET AWAY
SCOTT FREE.

584
00:20:54,821 --> 00:20:56,356
RENUNCIATION'S NO DEFENSE

585
00:20:56,389 --> 00:20:58,758
IF IT'S MOTIVATED
BY A FEAR OF GETTING CAUGHT.

586
00:20:58,791 --> 00:21:00,693
AMELIA DIDN'T DROWN
RIGHT AWAY.

587
00:21:00,727 --> 00:21:02,995
SANDRA WAS WORRIED
SOMEBODY WOULD WALK IN,

588
00:21:03,029 --> 00:21:04,731
SO SHE FISHED HER OUT.

589
00:21:04,764 --> 00:21:06,399
GOOD LUCK PROVING THAT.

590
00:21:06,433 --> 00:21:09,436
GARY TALBOT IS A KEY WITNESS
IN OUR CRANE CASE.

591
00:21:09,469 --> 00:21:11,738
TRY NOT TO MUDDY THAT UP.

592
00:21:14,541 --> 00:21:17,043
WE NEED TO RETRACE
SANDRA AND AMELIA'S STEPS

593
00:21:17,076 --> 00:21:18,645
AFTER THEY LEFT THE REC CENTER.

594
00:21:18,678 --> 00:21:20,847
FIND ANYONE THEY TALKED TO.

595
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,715
I ALREADY TOLD THE POLICE
WHAT I KNOW.

596
00:21:22,749 --> 00:21:25,918
WE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE
WHO SAW AMELIA THAT DAY.

597
00:21:25,952 --> 00:21:28,621
A SUBWAY EMPLOYEE
FROM THE 96TH STREET STATION

598
00:21:28,655 --> 00:21:30,390
SAID THAT SHE WAS HAVING
TROUBLE BREATHING.

599
00:21:30,423 --> 00:21:33,560
LIKE I TOLD THE POLICE,
SHE WAS SICK.

600
00:21:33,593 --> 00:21:35,362
THE POLICE ALSO SAID
YOU TOLD HER

601
00:21:35,395 --> 00:21:36,829
TO GO SEE A DOCTOR.

602
00:21:36,863 --> 00:21:39,999
YES, THAT'S WHAT
SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE.

603
00:21:40,032 --> 00:21:41,901
THAT'S WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND,
MISS ESCOBEDO.

604
00:21:41,934 --> 00:21:43,636
WHY DIDN'T SHE?

605
00:21:43,670 --> 00:21:45,638
I DON'T KNOW.

606
00:21:45,672 --> 00:21:47,674
SHE WAS...CONFUSED.

607
00:21:47,707 --> 00:21:50,710
SO YOU NOTICED THAT SHE WAS
IN TROUBLE AND OF COURSE

608
00:21:50,743 --> 00:21:52,912
OFFERED TO CALL 9-1-1 FOR HER,
DIDN'T YOU?

609
00:21:52,945 --> 00:21:55,748
SHE DIDN'T WANT NO HELP.

610
00:21:55,782 --> 00:21:57,484
YOU SAID SHE WAS CONFUSED.

611
00:21:57,517 --> 00:21:58,518
WHY WOULD YOU LISTEN
TO HER?

612
00:21:58,551 --> 00:22:01,721
SHE SAY HER BOSS TELL HER
DON'T GO TO THE DOCTOR.

613
00:22:01,754 --> 00:22:04,957
SHE SAY HER BOSS TELL HER
LA MIGRA, LA MIGRA.

614
00:22:04,991 --> 00:22:07,894
SO I LISTEN TO HER.

615
00:22:07,927 --> 00:22:10,763
MAYBE I WAS WRONG.

616
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,003
SANDRA PULLED HER OUT
OF THE POOL.

617
00:22:17,036 --> 00:22:18,638
THAT'S RENUNCIATION.

618
00:22:18,671 --> 00:22:20,473
PENAL CODE SECTION 40-10.

619
00:22:20,507 --> 00:22:22,809
RENUNCIATION MUST BE COMPLETE.

620
00:22:22,842 --> 00:22:24,944
SIMPLY PUT, MRS. TALBOT,

621
00:22:24,977 --> 00:22:26,913
YOUR LAWYER CAN'T ARGUE
RENUNCIATION

622
00:22:26,946 --> 00:22:29,682
IF YOU TALKED AMELIA
OUT OF SEEING A DOCTOR.

623
00:22:29,716 --> 00:22:31,851
I'M HEARTBROKEN ABOUT AMELIA.

624
00:22:31,884 --> 00:22:33,586
IF I REALLY THOUGHT
THAT SHE NEEDED A DOCTOR,

625
00:22:33,620 --> 00:22:34,454
I WOULD'VE--

626
00:22:34,487 --> 00:22:36,155
LOOK, SANDRA CAN'T
GO TO PRISON.

627
00:22:36,188 --> 00:22:39,025
PLEASE.

628
00:22:39,058 --> 00:22:41,394
WHAT IF, UM,

629
00:22:41,428 --> 00:22:43,996
WHAT IF MY CLIENT
WAS COVERING FOR SOMEONE?

630
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:45,798
I'M LISTENING.

631
00:22:45,832 --> 00:22:49,068
THEIR DAUGHTER'S
ON ANTI-SPASM PILLS.

632
00:22:49,101 --> 00:22:50,703
BUT SHE DIDN'T GET HER MEDS
THAT MORNING.

633
00:22:50,737 --> 00:22:51,804
SHE SPASMED

634
00:22:51,838 --> 00:22:53,806
AND KICKED AMELIA
INTO THE POOL.

635
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:54,841
(Cutter)
AN ACCIDENT?

636
00:22:54,874 --> 00:22:57,009
THEN WHY HIDE IT?

637
00:22:57,043 --> 00:22:58,811
THE TALBOTS RECEIVE THOUSANDS
IN CITY AID

638
00:22:58,845 --> 00:23:00,413
FOR LACEY'S CARE.

639
00:23:00,447 --> 00:23:02,482
IF THEY'RE NEGLIGENT,
THAT AID COULD BE REVOKED.

640
00:23:02,515 --> 00:23:03,750
THEY'D HAVE
TO INSTITUTIONALIZE--

641
00:23:03,783 --> 00:23:06,753
STOP IT RIGHT NOW.

642
00:23:06,786 --> 00:23:08,721
LACEY'S BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH.

643
00:23:08,755 --> 00:23:10,122
I WON'T VICTIMIZE HER
TO HELP MYSELF.

644
00:23:10,156 --> 00:23:11,157
I CAN'T.

645
00:23:11,190 --> 00:23:12,759
THE TRUTH RIGHT NOW

646
00:23:12,792 --> 00:23:15,394
OR SHE TAKES HER CHANCES
WITH A JURY.

647
00:23:19,666 --> 00:23:22,635
AMELIA AND I ARGUED.

648
00:23:22,669 --> 00:23:23,736
ABOUT GARY.

649
00:23:23,770 --> 00:23:25,472
I GOT ANGRY.

650
00:23:25,505 --> 00:23:27,774
I PUSHED HER, BUT I SWEAR
I WASN'T TRYING TO KILL HER.

651
00:23:27,807 --> 00:23:29,842
I JUST--

652
00:23:29,876 --> 00:23:32,745
IF I COULD TAKE IT ALL BACK,
I WOULD.

653
00:23:37,116 --> 00:23:38,751
MY DAUGHTER'S A SICK
LITTLE GIRL

654
00:23:38,785 --> 00:23:41,654
WHO NEEDS HER MOTHER.

655
00:23:41,688 --> 00:23:43,690
DON'T TAKE ME AWAY FROM HER,
PLEASE.

656
00:23:43,723 --> 00:23:45,725
I'M BEGGING YOU.

657
00:23:52,699 --> 00:23:55,735
ASSAULT TWO,
SUSPENDED SENTENCE.

658
00:23:55,768 --> 00:23:58,538
PROVIDED A PORTION
OF GARY'S SALARY GOES

659
00:23:58,571 --> 00:24:01,073
TO AMELIA'S LONG TERM CARE.

660
00:24:01,107 --> 00:24:04,477
AND MRS. TALBOT
WILL ALLOCUTE.

661
00:24:04,511 --> 00:24:05,645
I THINK WE CAN, UM,

662
00:24:05,678 --> 00:24:07,814
ALL LIVE WITH THAT.

663
00:24:14,153 --> 00:24:16,523
SUSPENDED SENTENCE.

664
00:24:16,556 --> 00:24:17,890
PUSHOVER.

665
00:24:21,661 --> 00:24:24,096
(Sandra)
I CONFRONTED AMELIA
ABOUT GARY.

666
00:24:24,130 --> 00:24:25,732
WE BEGAN TO ARGUE.

667
00:24:25,765 --> 00:24:28,735
AMELIA ADMITTED THAT SHE
AND GARY HAD BEEN TOGETHER.

668
00:24:28,768 --> 00:24:30,803
I LOST MY TEMPER.

669
00:24:30,837 --> 00:24:32,739
I PUSHED HER INTO THE POOL.

670
00:24:32,772 --> 00:24:34,574
KNOWING SHE COULDN'T SWIM?
YES.

671
00:24:34,607 --> 00:24:36,843
SHE WAS STRUGGLING
IN THE WATER.

672
00:24:36,876 --> 00:24:38,545
I GOT SCARED.
I HELPED HER OUT.

673
00:24:38,578 --> 00:24:39,812
(Bradley)
AND WHAT DID YOU DO?

674
00:24:39,846 --> 00:24:41,848
I TOLD HER TO LEAVE
MY FAMILY,

675
00:24:41,881 --> 00:24:43,616
MY HUSBAND ALONE.

676
00:24:43,650 --> 00:24:45,852
ALL RIGHT.

677
00:24:45,885 --> 00:24:51,524
MR. CUTTER,
ARE THE PEOPLE SATISFIED?

678
00:24:56,295 --> 00:24:58,665
MR. CUTTER?

679
00:24:58,698 --> 00:25:01,801
JUDGE, PERMISSION TO ENQUIRE.

680
00:25:06,673 --> 00:25:10,577
MRS. TALBOT, HOW DID YOU LEARN
ABOUT THE AFFAIR?

681
00:25:12,579 --> 00:25:14,246
AMELIA--

682
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,749
AMELIA WAS GIVING LACEY
A BATH.

683
00:25:16,783 --> 00:25:18,785
SHE LEFT HER PHONE
IN THE KITCHEN.

684
00:25:18,818 --> 00:25:20,219
IT STARTED TO RING.

685
00:25:20,252 --> 00:25:21,754
I SAW IT WAS GARY.

686
00:25:21,788 --> 00:25:23,756
HE LEFT HER A MESSAGE.

687
00:25:23,790 --> 00:25:25,257
I'D GIVEN HER THE PHONE.

688
00:25:25,291 --> 00:25:27,694
I PROGRAMMED IT, SO I KNEW
THE CODE FOR THE VOICEMAILS.

689
00:25:27,727 --> 00:25:30,296
SO I...

690
00:25:30,329 --> 00:25:31,664
I FOUND THE MESSAGE.

691
00:25:31,698 --> 00:25:32,765
HE WAS MEETING HER AFTER WORK.

692
00:25:32,799 --> 00:25:35,101
SO YOU CONFRONTED HER
THAT DAY.

693
00:25:35,134 --> 00:25:37,236
NO.

694
00:25:37,269 --> 00:25:38,104
THEN THE NEXT DAY.

695
00:25:38,137 --> 00:25:40,740
YOU CONFRONTED AMELIA
THE NEXT DAY.

696
00:25:40,773 --> 00:25:41,540
YES.

697
00:25:41,574 --> 00:25:45,612
WHEN YOU TOOK LACEY
TO THE POOL.

698
00:25:45,645 --> 00:25:47,580
YES.

699
00:25:47,614 --> 00:25:48,748
(Goodwin)
YOUR HONOR, IS THERE A POINT
TO THIS EXAMINATION?

700
00:25:48,781 --> 00:25:49,982
YOUR HONOR, AT THIS POINT

701
00:25:50,016 --> 00:25:51,951
THE PEOPLE ARE WITHDRAWING
THEIR PLEA OFFER

702
00:25:51,984 --> 00:25:53,252
AND STAND READY FOR TRIAL.

703
00:25:53,285 --> 00:25:55,221
BUT WE HAVE A DEAL.

704
00:25:55,254 --> 00:25:57,957
HAD A DEAL, MR. GOODWIN.

705
00:25:57,990 --> 00:26:00,259
IT IS THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S
PREROGATIVE.

706
00:26:00,292 --> 00:26:02,895
GIVE IT A DATE, FREDDIE.

707
00:26:02,929 --> 00:26:06,365
[bangs gavel]

708
00:26:06,398 --> 00:26:08,701
PUSHOVER, MY ASS.

709
00:26:10,703 --> 00:26:12,605
PULLING THE PLUG
IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ALLOCUTION,

710
00:26:12,639 --> 00:26:14,206
I HOPE YOU DIDN'T SNATCH DEFEAT

711
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,875
FROM THE JAWS OF VICTORY.

712
00:26:15,908 --> 00:26:17,844
WE CHECKED AMELIA'S
CELL PHONE RECORDS.

713
00:26:17,877 --> 00:26:19,712
THERE WAS NO CALL
FROM GARY TALBOT

714
00:26:19,746 --> 00:26:21,748
THAT DAY OR ANY OTHER DAY.

715
00:26:21,781 --> 00:26:24,083
BUT THE NIGHT BEFORE
AMELIA DROWNED,

716
00:26:24,116 --> 00:26:26,753
SHE MADE A CALL
TO A DR. LUCAS ZIERING.

717
00:26:26,786 --> 00:26:28,187
HE'S AN ENDOCRINOLOGIST.

718
00:26:28,220 --> 00:26:29,922
IT WAS A ONE-MINUTE CALL.

719
00:26:29,956 --> 00:26:31,357
IT WAS AFTER HOURS.

720
00:26:31,390 --> 00:26:32,692
SHE LEFT A MESSAGE.
AND?

721
00:26:32,725 --> 00:26:34,226
AND THE NEXT MORNING,

722
00:26:34,260 --> 00:26:36,963
SANDRA TALBOT GOT A CALL
FROM DR. ZIERING.

723
00:26:36,996 --> 00:26:38,698
SHE WAS ON THE PHONE
FOR 20 MINUTES.

724
00:26:38,731 --> 00:26:39,866
AN HOUR LATER,

725
00:26:39,899 --> 00:26:41,701
SHE SHOVED AMELIA
INTO THE POOL.

726
00:26:41,734 --> 00:26:45,004
AND YOU THINK SOMETHING
ABOUT THAT CALL UPSET SANDRA.

727
00:26:45,037 --> 00:26:47,740
I JUST DON'T THINK SHE TRIED
TO KILL HER OVER AN AFFAIR.

728
00:26:47,774 --> 00:26:49,008
[knocking]

729
00:26:49,041 --> 00:26:50,242
I TURNED UP A POLICE REPORT

730
00:26:50,276 --> 00:26:51,711
FILED BY DR. ZIERING ABOUT
ANONYMOUS THREATS

731
00:26:51,744 --> 00:26:53,813
LEFT ON HIS OFFICE VOICEMAIL.

732
00:26:53,846 --> 00:26:55,347
IT'S DATED AT TWO WEEKS

733
00:26:55,381 --> 00:26:57,149
BEFORE AMELIA WAS PUSHED
INTO THE POOL.

734
00:26:57,183 --> 00:26:59,318
MAYBE THAT'S WHAT AMELIA'S
CALL TO ZIERING WAS ABOUT.

735
00:26:59,351 --> 00:27:01,320
SHE WAS LEAVING ANOTHER THREAT.

736
00:27:01,353 --> 00:27:02,822
THREAT ABOUT WHAT?

737
00:27:02,855 --> 00:27:05,291
BIRD IN THE HAND, MIKE.

738
00:27:05,324 --> 00:27:07,293
NEXT TIME A DEFENDANT WANTS
TO PLEAD GUILTY,

739
00:27:07,326 --> 00:27:09,896
LET 'EM.

740
00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:14,433
[Amelia on speaker]
THIS IS FOR DR. ZIERING.

741
00:27:14,466 --> 00:27:16,135
WHAT YOU ARE DOING
TO LACEY TALBOT

742
00:27:16,168 --> 00:27:17,904
IS AGAINST GOD'S PLAN.

743
00:27:17,937 --> 00:27:19,371
YOU CANNOT CHANGE HER NATURE.

744
00:27:19,405 --> 00:27:22,208
IT'S EVIL AND YOU WILL BURN
IN HELL IF YOU DO THIS.

745
00:27:22,241 --> 00:27:25,111
LACEY'S MOM RECOGNIZED
THEIR CARETAKER'S VOICE.

746
00:27:25,144 --> 00:27:27,914
I--I TOLD SANDRA THAT
IF THESE CALLS PERSISTED,

747
00:27:27,947 --> 00:27:29,348
I COULD NO LONGER TREAT
THEIR DAUGHTER.

748
00:27:29,381 --> 00:27:32,051
AND SHE SAID SHE WOULD SPEAK
TO THE CARETAKER.

749
00:27:32,084 --> 00:27:35,387
WHAT DOES SHE MEAN,
"CHANGING LACEY'S NATURE"?

750
00:27:35,421 --> 00:27:36,388
HOW WERE YOU TREATING HER?

751
00:27:36,422 --> 00:27:40,292
THE TALBOTS APPROACHED ME
ABOUT RESTRICTING

752
00:27:40,326 --> 00:27:42,428
THEIR DAUGHTER'S
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT.

753
00:27:42,461 --> 00:27:44,463
MEANING WHAT?

754
00:27:44,496 --> 00:27:47,800
ESTROGEN THERAPY.

755
00:27:47,834 --> 00:27:51,804
TO PERMANENTLY STUNT
THE CHILD'S GROWTH.

756
00:27:51,838 --> 00:27:53,740
AND THE REMOVAL
OF HER BREAST BUDS,

757
00:27:53,773 --> 00:27:57,877
WOMB, AND OVARIES SO THAT
HER SEXUAL ORGANS NEVER MATURE.

758
00:27:57,910 --> 00:28:00,379
SURGERY AND DRUGS

759
00:28:00,412 --> 00:28:01,848
TO KEEP HER A CHILD?

760
00:28:01,881 --> 00:28:04,216
IS THIS TREATMENT APPROVED?

761
00:28:04,250 --> 00:28:07,854
IT'S VERY CONTROVERSIAL.

762
00:28:07,887 --> 00:28:09,088
IN FACT,
I'M NOT THE FIRST DOCTOR

763
00:28:09,121 --> 00:28:10,857
THAT THE TALBOTS CAME TO.

764
00:28:10,890 --> 00:28:13,760
THEY'RE DESPERATELY CONCERNED
ABOUT THEIR DAUGHTER'S WELFARE.

765
00:28:13,793 --> 00:28:14,827
I TOLD THEM

766
00:28:14,861 --> 00:28:15,895
THAT THEY HAVE TO BE DISCREET

767
00:28:15,928 --> 00:28:18,931
OR WE'RE GONNA GET THESE--
THESE KOOKS BUTTING IN.

768
00:28:18,965 --> 00:28:21,734
WHAT HAPPENED AFTER YOU GOT
ANOTHER CALL?

769
00:28:21,768 --> 00:28:23,235
I TOLD MRS. TALBOT
THAT I COULD NO LONGER

770
00:28:23,269 --> 00:28:24,871
PROVIDE LACEY'S TREATMENT.

771
00:28:24,904 --> 00:28:26,172
HOW DID SHE REACT?

772
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:27,740
SHE BEGGED ME TO RECONSIDER.

773
00:28:27,774 --> 00:28:28,908
BUT I--I COULDN'T.

774
00:28:28,941 --> 00:28:30,777
I JUST COULDN'T RISK
THE PUBLICITY.

775
00:28:30,810 --> 00:28:33,012
SHE BECAME FURIOUS,
STARTED SCREAMING AT ME,

776
00:28:33,045 --> 00:28:34,513
AND I HAD TO HANG UP ON HER.

777
00:28:34,546 --> 00:28:35,815
IT--IT--

778
00:28:35,848 --> 00:28:38,417
I'D HOPED THAT SHE WOULD
UNDERSTAND.

779
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:39,418
DON'T WORRY, DOCTOR.

780
00:28:39,451 --> 00:28:40,820
I THINK SHE FOUND SOMEONE ELSE

781
00:28:40,853 --> 00:28:42,855
TO VENT HER ANGER ON.

782
00:28:47,860 --> 00:28:49,128
I GOT NOTHING TO SAY TO YOU.

783
00:28:49,161 --> 00:28:51,530
WELL, RIGHT NOW WE NEED YOU
TO LISTEN.

784
00:28:51,563 --> 00:28:52,531
WE TOLD YOU--

785
00:28:52,564 --> 00:28:53,866
THERE WAS NO AFFAIR.

786
00:28:53,900 --> 00:28:54,867
IT WAS ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER.

787
00:28:54,901 --> 00:28:57,503
AMELIA INTERFERED.

788
00:28:57,536 --> 00:28:58,270
SHE THREATENED YOUR DOCTOR.

789
00:28:58,304 --> 00:28:59,972
I DON'T WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THIS.

790
00:29:00,006 --> 00:29:01,874
WELL, SOMEBODY NEEDS
TO TALK TO US

791
00:29:01,908 --> 00:29:04,076
IF YOUR WIFE EXPECTS
ANY LENIENCY.

792
00:29:04,110 --> 00:29:05,845
WHY, SO YOU CAN SCARE OFF
THE NEXT DOCTOR

793
00:29:05,878 --> 00:29:07,780
WHO'D EVEN CONSIDER
HELPING US?

794
00:29:12,184 --> 00:29:14,153
MY LITTLE GIRL WILL NEVER WALK.

795
00:29:14,186 --> 00:29:15,554
OR TALK.

796
00:29:15,587 --> 00:29:19,091
AND IF SHE GROWS UP
IN THIS CONDITION...

797
00:29:26,532 --> 00:29:29,568
I KNOW SHE'S AN ANGEL.

798
00:29:29,601 --> 00:29:30,803
RIGHT?

799
00:29:34,173 --> 00:29:36,142
SHE'S OUR LITTLE ANGEL.

800
00:29:39,879 --> 00:29:42,081
WE CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT
IT'S LIKE.

801
00:29:42,114 --> 00:29:45,885
THE STRAIN IT MUST PUT
ON YOUR MARRIAGE.

802
00:29:45,918 --> 00:29:49,455
WE ALSO KNOW YOU FILED
FOR DIVORCE LAST YEAR.

803
00:29:49,488 --> 00:29:50,522
(Gary)
YEAH.

804
00:29:50,556 --> 00:29:52,491
I LOOKED DOWN THAT ROAD
AND IT WAS ALL BLACK.

805
00:29:52,524 --> 00:29:54,994
EVERYTHING WOULD GET WORSE,
THE OLDER SHE GOT.

806
00:29:55,027 --> 00:29:58,164
AND I COULDN'T HANDLE IT.

807
00:29:58,197 --> 00:29:59,531
WE WORKED THROUGH IT.

808
00:29:59,565 --> 00:30:01,133
IS THAT WHEN YOU CAME UP
WITH THE IDEA

809
00:30:01,167 --> 00:30:03,135
FOR THIS TREATMENT?

810
00:30:03,169 --> 00:30:04,837
TO KEEP HER A CHILD?

811
00:30:04,871 --> 00:30:06,839
I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE NOW.

812
00:30:06,873 --> 00:30:08,908
MR. TALBOT, I WILL--

813
00:30:08,941 --> 00:30:09,876
WE DO NOT NEED
YOUR CONDEMNATION

814
00:30:09,909 --> 00:30:11,277
OR ANYBODY ELSE'S.

815
00:30:11,310 --> 00:30:12,411
THIS IS OUR PRIVATE BUSINESS,

816
00:30:12,444 --> 00:30:15,915
SO YOU JUST BUTT OUT.

817
00:30:15,948 --> 00:30:17,449
WE TRACED THE PAYMENT
THE TALBOTS MADE

818
00:30:17,483 --> 00:30:19,185
RIGHT BEFORE SANDRA
WAS ARRESTED

819
00:30:19,218 --> 00:30:22,154
TO A DR. CONNOR DUNNING
AT EMMANUEL CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.

820
00:30:22,188 --> 00:30:24,090
I THINK SHE LINED UP
ANOTHER DOCTOR

821
00:30:24,123 --> 00:30:25,524
TO DO THIS OPERATION
ON HER DAUGHTER.

822
00:30:25,557 --> 00:30:26,893
THAT EXPLAINS WHY MRS. TALBOT

823
00:30:26,926 --> 00:30:30,096
WON'T SPEAK THE TRUTH
IN OPEN COURT.

824
00:30:30,129 --> 00:30:32,464
THEIR FIRST DOCTOR
GOT SKITTISH.

825
00:30:32,498 --> 00:30:34,867
SHE DOESN'T WANT TO SCARE OFF
THIS ONE.

826
00:30:34,901 --> 00:30:37,403
I MOVING TO STOP
THE PROCEDURE.

827
00:30:37,436 --> 00:30:38,871
ON WHAT BASIS?

828
00:30:38,905 --> 00:30:41,107
IT'S AN ASSAULT
ON A HANDICAPPED CHILD.

829
00:30:41,140 --> 00:30:42,942
(Rubirosa)
I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD GO
THAT FAR.

830
00:30:42,975 --> 00:30:45,344
(Cutter)
WHAT WOULD YOU CALL
DISFIGURING THIS POOR KID?

831
00:30:45,377 --> 00:30:47,079
TEARING OUT HER UTERUS.

832
00:30:47,113 --> 00:30:50,516
FORCING HORMONES INTO HER VEINS
TO STUNT HER GROWTH.

833
00:30:50,549 --> 00:30:52,151
I MEAN, LOOK,
I'VE READ UP ON THIS.

834
00:30:52,184 --> 00:30:53,585
I'VE TALKED TO DOCTORS.

835
00:30:53,619 --> 00:30:55,587
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT
THE LONG TERM EFFECTS ARE.

836
00:30:55,621 --> 00:30:58,357
ASSUMING LACEY EVEN LIVES
TO FIND OUT

837
00:30:58,390 --> 00:31:02,061
BECAUSE THE HORMONES MIGHT CAUSE
A BLOOD CLOT THAT KILLS HER.

838
00:31:02,094 --> 00:31:05,397
THE PROCEDURE'S NOT MEDICALLY
NECESSARY.

839
00:31:05,431 --> 00:31:07,466
IT'S ALL FOR THE PARENTS'
CONVENIENCE

840
00:31:07,499 --> 00:31:08,968
TO SAVE THEIR MARRIAGE.

841
00:31:09,001 --> 00:31:10,402
WHAT DOES ANY OF THIS HAVE
TO DO

842
00:31:10,436 --> 00:31:12,972
WITH OUR PROSECUTION
OF SANDRA TALBOT?

843
00:31:13,005 --> 00:31:14,606
ONE ASSAULT TO COVER ANOTHER,

844
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,375
THIS ONE ON A CHILD.

845
00:31:16,408 --> 00:31:18,044
IT'S ALL PART OF THE SAME
CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE.

846
00:31:18,077 --> 00:31:19,045
IT'S A STRETCH.

847
00:31:19,078 --> 00:31:20,913
SHE WAS READY TO PLEAD.

848
00:31:20,947 --> 00:31:21,914
(Cutter)
ON FALSE GROUNDS.

849
00:31:21,948 --> 00:31:23,315
YOU'RE SPLITTING HAIRS.

850
00:31:23,349 --> 00:31:24,650
WHAT--SO WE DON'T HAVE
AN OBLIGATION

851
00:31:24,683 --> 00:31:26,318
TO PURSUE THE TRUTH?

852
00:31:26,352 --> 00:31:28,287
LACEY TALBOT'S TREATMENT
ISN'T OUR CONCERN.

853
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,023
WE HAVE A VICTIM.
AMELIA LAZARO.

854
00:31:31,057 --> 00:31:33,525
IF MRS. TALBOT DOESN'T WANT
TO COME CLEAN,

855
00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:34,526
EMPANEL A JURY.

856
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,397
BUT THIS OFFICE FOCUSES
ON ESTABLISHED CRIMES.

857
00:31:45,704 --> 00:31:48,507
WE'RE AMENDING THE COMPLAINT
TO ADD A CHARGE

858
00:31:48,540 --> 00:31:51,077
OF CONSPIRACY TO ASSAULT
LACEY TALBOT.

859
00:31:51,110 --> 00:31:53,145
UNINDICTED CO-CONSPIRATOR
GARY TALBOT.

860
00:31:53,179 --> 00:31:55,614
OVERT ACT:
PAYMENT FOR THE SURGERY--

861
00:31:55,647 --> 00:31:58,284
MIKE, WERE YOU NOT HERE
WHEN JACK SAID

862
00:31:58,317 --> 00:31:59,518
FOCUS ON ESTABLISHED CRIMES?

863
00:31:59,551 --> 00:32:00,987
BUT IF THE JUDGE BUYS
MY ARGUMENT

864
00:32:01,020 --> 00:32:02,654
THAT THE OPERATION IS A CRIME,

865
00:32:02,688 --> 00:32:05,591
THEN JACK WON'T HAVE ANYTHING
TO COMPLAIN ABOUT, WILL HE?

866
00:32:05,624 --> 00:32:07,393
YOU JUST WANT TO STOP THEM
FROM DOING THIS PROCEDURE

867
00:32:07,426 --> 00:32:08,527
ON THEIR DAUGHTER.

868
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,263
I DON'T HAVE KIDS AND I AM NOT
IN THE TALBOTS' SHOES,

869
00:32:11,297 --> 00:32:12,999
BUT I'M NOT CONVINCED.

870
00:32:13,032 --> 00:32:16,102
STICK AROUND.

871
00:32:16,135 --> 00:32:17,569
MR. CUTTER TANKED A PLEA

872
00:32:17,603 --> 00:32:20,206
AND NOW HE REALIZES HIS CASE
IS A LOSER,

873
00:32:20,239 --> 00:32:21,607
SO HE TRUMPS UP A CHARGE
THAT MRS. TALBOT

874
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,309
IS TRYING TO ASSAULT HER CHILD.

875
00:32:23,342 --> 00:32:24,610
IT'S A LEGITIMATE CHARGE

876
00:32:24,643 --> 00:32:26,478
BASED ON NEWLY DISCOVERED
FACTS.

877
00:32:26,512 --> 00:32:29,181
(Goodwin)
THESE FACTS DON'T EVEN
COME CLOSE

878
00:32:29,215 --> 00:32:30,449
TO ESTABLISHING AN ASSAULT.

879
00:32:30,482 --> 00:32:32,584
THEY ESTABLISH THAT THERE'S
A PLAN

880
00:32:32,618 --> 00:32:34,987
TO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY
TO A CHILD.

881
00:32:35,021 --> 00:32:36,688
MR. CUTTER, I AGREE
THE PROCEDURE

882
00:32:36,722 --> 00:32:38,357
IS ETHICALLY QUESTIONABLE.

883
00:32:38,390 --> 00:32:40,026
THAT DOES NOT MEAN
IT'S A CRIME.

884
00:32:40,059 --> 00:32:43,629
BUT I WILL GIVE YOU A CHANCE
TO CHANGE MY MIND.

885
00:32:47,733 --> 00:32:50,102
(Peller)
THE PROCEDURE IS UNTESTED.

886
00:32:50,136 --> 00:32:52,504
ITS BENEFITS ARE HIGHLY
SPECULATIVE.

887
00:32:52,538 --> 00:32:54,773
THE SURGERY WILL BE PAINFUL
FOR LACEY

888
00:32:54,806 --> 00:32:56,342
AND THE RECOVERY LONG.

889
00:32:56,375 --> 00:32:58,477
AND COMPLICATIONS FROM
THE ESTROGEN THERAPY

890
00:32:58,510 --> 00:32:59,678
CAN'T BE DISCOUNTED.

891
00:32:59,711 --> 00:33:03,615
DR. PELLER,
ARE THERE OTHER REASONS WHY

892
00:33:03,649 --> 00:33:05,617
YOUR HOSPITAL'S
ETHICS COMMITTEE REFUSED

893
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:07,486
TO SANCTION THIS PROCEDURE?

894
00:33:07,519 --> 00:33:09,321
IT'S A SLIPPERY SLOPE.

895
00:33:09,355 --> 00:33:11,557
KEEPING LACEY SMALL
MIGHT MAKE HER EASIER

896
00:33:11,590 --> 00:33:14,593
TO CARE FOR, BUT THEN
WHY NOT AMPUTATE HER LEGS

897
00:33:14,626 --> 00:33:16,495
TO MAKE HER MORE PORTABLE?

898
00:33:16,528 --> 00:33:18,697
REMOVE HER LARYNX TO STOP HER
FROM CRYING.

899
00:33:18,730 --> 00:33:19,565
SO YOU'RE SAYING

900
00:33:19,598 --> 00:33:22,334
THAT THEY CONVENIENCE
OF THE PARENTS

901
00:33:22,368 --> 00:33:25,071
SHOULDN'T BE A RELEVANT
FACTOR.

902
00:33:25,104 --> 00:33:26,405
IN MY OPINION,

903
00:33:26,438 --> 00:33:30,142
IT IS CLEARLY OUTWEIGHED
BY THE DIGNITY ANYONE,

904
00:33:30,176 --> 00:33:32,611
ESPECIALLY A DISABLED CHILD,
MUST BE ACCORDED.

905
00:33:32,644 --> 00:33:37,616
SHE NEEDS LOVE,
NOT SURGERY.

906
00:33:37,649 --> 00:33:39,618
BEFORE I AGREED TO PERFORM
THE PROCEDURE,

907
00:33:39,651 --> 00:33:41,487
I SPENT HOURS WITH
THE TALBOTS

908
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:42,654
WATCHING THEM INTERACT
WITH LACEY.

909
00:33:42,688 --> 00:33:44,656
THEIR COMMITMENT
TO HER QUALITY OF LIFE

910
00:33:44,690 --> 00:33:46,192
AND THEIR LOVE FOR HER
IS OBVIOUS.

911
00:33:46,225 --> 00:33:51,363
BUT REMOVAL OF HER BREASTS,
UTERUS, AND OVARIES

912
00:33:51,397 --> 00:33:53,832
SEEMS UNWARRANTED,
DOESN'T IT?

913
00:33:53,865 --> 00:33:55,167
ACTUALLY, NO.

914
00:33:55,201 --> 00:33:57,469
LACEY'S NEVER GOING
TO GIVE BIRTH,

915
00:33:57,503 --> 00:33:58,604
BREAST FEED, OR HAVE SEX.

916
00:33:58,637 --> 00:34:01,307
SO THOSE ORGANS
ARE UNNECESSARY.

917
00:34:01,340 --> 00:34:04,076
AND REMOVING THEM ELIMINATES
THE POTENTIAL

918
00:34:04,110 --> 00:34:06,645
FOR CANCER OR EMOTIONAL
CONFUSION.

919
00:34:08,614 --> 00:34:11,083
DR. DUNNING, WOULD YOU SAY

920
00:34:11,117 --> 00:34:14,486
THAT MEDICINE'S ROLE
IS TO CURE SICKNESS?

921
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,255
WELL, THAT'S ONE FORMULATION.

922
00:34:16,288 --> 00:34:18,490
BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT
THIS PROCEDURE DOES, RIGHT?

923
00:34:18,524 --> 00:34:22,161
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG
WITH LACEY TALBOT'S SEX ORGANS

924
00:34:22,194 --> 00:34:24,396
REQUIRING THEIR REMOVAL.

925
00:34:24,430 --> 00:34:25,764
NOTHING INHERENTLY DANGEROUS

926
00:34:25,797 --> 00:34:28,434
ABOUT HER GROWING INTO AN ADULT.

927
00:34:28,467 --> 00:34:29,501
THE PROCEDURE DOESN'T ADDRESS
SICKNESS

928
00:34:29,535 --> 00:34:30,702
BY THAT NARROW DEFINITION, NO.

929
00:34:30,736 --> 00:34:31,737
BUT--
THANK YOU.

930
00:34:36,242 --> 00:34:37,776
(Sandra)
MONEY'S TIGHT.

931
00:34:37,809 --> 00:34:41,547
PART-TIME HELP FOR LACEY
IS ALL WE CAN AFFORD.

932
00:34:41,580 --> 00:34:43,515
SINCE WE CAN'T PAY
THE GOING RATES,

933
00:34:43,549 --> 00:34:45,684
THE PEOPLE WE USE
AREN'T PROPERLY TRAINED.

934
00:34:45,717 --> 00:34:48,520
HOW MUCH DOES YOUR DAUGHTER'S
CARE AND TREATMENT

935
00:34:48,554 --> 00:34:49,621
COST YOU A MONTH?

936
00:34:49,655 --> 00:34:51,290
NEARLY $6,000.

937
00:34:51,323 --> 00:34:53,659
THE CITY CHIPS IN ABOUT 2,000
A YEAR.

938
00:34:53,692 --> 00:34:55,627
WE'RE OUT OF POCKET
ON THE REST.

939
00:34:55,661 --> 00:34:57,563
BECAUSE MEDICAID WON'T PAY
UNLESS

940
00:34:57,596 --> 00:34:59,331
WE PUT HER IN AN INSTITUTION.

941
00:34:59,365 --> 00:35:01,500
(Goodwin)
IS AT AN OPTION
YOU'VE CONSIDERED?

942
00:35:01,533 --> 00:35:03,235
ABSOLUTELY NOT.

943
00:35:03,269 --> 00:35:04,436
WE'RE A FAMILY
AND FAMILIES

944
00:35:04,470 --> 00:35:06,538
STAY TOGETHER NO MATTER WHAT.

945
00:35:06,572 --> 00:35:10,676
AND I KNOW WITHOUT THE ROUND
THE CLOCK CARE WE GIVE HER,

946
00:35:10,709 --> 00:35:11,543
SHE CAN'T SURVIVE.

947
00:35:11,577 --> 00:35:16,315
WOULD YOU EVER INTENTIONALLY
HARM LACEY?

948
00:35:18,317 --> 00:35:19,551
NO.

949
00:35:19,585 --> 00:35:23,322
I'D DIE FOR MY DAUGHTER.

950
00:35:35,334 --> 00:35:37,269
IF YOU HAD A MILLION DOLLARS

951
00:35:37,303 --> 00:35:39,705
TO PAY FOR CARETAKERS,

952
00:35:39,738 --> 00:35:42,608
WOULD YOU STILL CONSIDER
THIS PROCEDURE FOR LACEY?

953
00:35:42,641 --> 00:35:44,876
YES, IT'S GOING TO IMPROVE
HER LIFE.

954
00:35:44,910 --> 00:35:46,812
AND YOURS TOO, RIGHT?

955
00:35:46,845 --> 00:35:48,647
IT'LL REDUCE YOUR WORKLOAD.

956
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,683
MAKE HER EASIER TO LIFT,
TO FEED.

957
00:35:51,717 --> 00:35:54,620
IT'S ABOUT KEEPING
OUR ANGEL WHERE SHE BELONGS,

958
00:35:54,653 --> 00:35:56,655
AT HOME AND IN THE ARMS
OF THE FAMILY THAT LOVES HER.

959
00:35:56,688 --> 00:35:59,191
BY KEEPING HER SMALL.

960
00:35:59,225 --> 00:36:01,760
BUT IF SHE MATURES
INTO A GROWN WOMAN,

961
00:36:01,793 --> 00:36:04,630
THEN YOU'LL HAVE OTHER
INCONVENIENT THINGS

962
00:36:04,663 --> 00:36:05,964
TO WORRY ABOUT.

963
00:36:05,997 --> 00:36:06,965
HER MENSTRUATION,

964
00:36:06,998 --> 00:36:08,600
HER SEXUALITY.

965
00:36:08,634 --> 00:36:09,635
NO, IT'S NOT ABOUT THOSE THINGS.

966
00:36:09,668 --> 00:36:10,636
SHE WON'T BE SO CUTE

967
00:36:10,669 --> 00:36:12,471
AND CUDDLY ANYMORE.

968
00:36:12,504 --> 00:36:14,806
IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT.

969
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,509
WE WON'T BE ABLE TO CARE
FOR HER AT HOME.

970
00:36:17,543 --> 00:36:19,945
WE WON'T BE ABLE
TO BRING HER WITH US.

971
00:36:19,978 --> 00:36:21,313
TO INCLUDE HER--

972
00:36:21,347 --> 00:36:22,448
YOU'D NEED MORE CARETAKERS.

973
00:36:22,481 --> 00:36:24,416
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT.

974
00:36:24,450 --> 00:36:25,417
A BIGGER HOME.

975
00:36:25,451 --> 00:36:26,985
YES.

976
00:36:27,018 --> 00:36:28,454
IT WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE.

977
00:36:28,487 --> 00:36:29,588
YES, WE COULDN'T DO IT.

978
00:36:29,621 --> 00:36:30,589
BUT YOU WOULDN'T WANT LACEY

979
00:36:30,622 --> 00:36:32,458
TO GROW UP EVEN IF YOU HAD

980
00:36:32,491 --> 00:36:34,326
ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD.

981
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,562
YOU'D STILL PUT HER THROUGH
THIS PROCEDURE.

982
00:36:36,595 --> 00:36:38,897
THAT'S WHAT YOU JUST SAID.

983
00:36:43,735 --> 00:36:44,536
YOU WOULDN'T FEEL

984
00:36:44,570 --> 00:36:46,505
THE SAME WAY ABOUT HER

985
00:36:46,538 --> 00:36:50,509
IF SHE GREW UP,
WOULD YOU?

986
00:36:50,542 --> 00:36:51,977
IT'S EASIER TO LOVE HER NOW...

987
00:36:52,010 --> 00:36:55,347
WHEN SHE'S SMALL,
LIKE A DOLL.

988
00:36:55,381 --> 00:36:56,348
ISN'T IT?

989
00:36:56,382 --> 00:36:59,418
I...

990
00:36:59,451 --> 00:37:01,019
I LOVE HER.

991
00:37:01,052 --> 00:37:02,921
I DO LOVE HER.

992
00:37:02,954 --> 00:37:05,691
MY ANGEL.

993
00:37:08,527 --> 00:37:09,495
(judge)
ALL RIGHT, MRS. TALBOT,

994
00:37:09,528 --> 00:37:10,396
YOU'RE EXCUSED.

995
00:37:13,732 --> 00:37:15,367
I HAVE NO DOUBT
THE TALBOTS ARE MOTIVATED

996
00:37:15,401 --> 00:37:17,603
BY LOVE AND CONCERN
FOR LACEY.

997
00:37:17,636 --> 00:37:20,672
ON THE OTHER HAND,
MR. CUTTER HAS DEMONSTRATED

998
00:37:20,706 --> 00:37:22,641
THAT THIS INQUIRY CANNOT
BEGIN AND END

999
00:37:22,674 --> 00:37:25,010
WITH THE PARENTS' INTENTIONS.

1000
00:37:25,043 --> 00:37:28,280
ON BALANCE, THE COURT
IS NOT SATISFIED

1001
00:37:28,314 --> 00:37:31,417
THE ELEMENTS OF ASSAULT
ON THE CHILD HAVE BEEN MADE OUT.

1002
00:37:31,450 --> 00:37:35,053
THE MOTION TO AMEND
THE COMPLAINT IS DENIED.

1003
00:37:35,086 --> 00:37:38,056
I HOPE THAT NOW THE PARTIES

1004
00:37:38,089 --> 00:37:41,560
CAN REACH AN AGREEMENT
ON A PLEA SETTLEMENT.

1005
00:37:50,702 --> 00:37:54,473
GOODWIN'S AGREED TO A MEETING.

1006
00:37:54,506 --> 00:37:55,607
I GOTTA TELL YOU, MIKE,

1007
00:37:55,641 --> 00:37:56,775
I THINK THE JUDGE MADE
THE RIGHT CALL.

1008
00:37:56,808 --> 00:38:00,846
EVER SINCE SHE PUSHED AMELIA
INTO THAT POOL,

1009
00:38:00,879 --> 00:38:04,616
SANDRA TALBOT'S DONE NOTHING
BUT LIE AND OBFUSCATE.

1010
00:38:04,650 --> 00:38:06,718
AND NOW HER REWARD'S
A GREEN LIGHT

1011
00:38:06,752 --> 00:38:08,654
TO MAIM HER CHILD.

1012
00:38:08,687 --> 00:38:10,856
IT'S NOT OUR BUSINESS ANYMORE.

1013
00:38:10,889 --> 00:38:14,560
BESIDES, THERE ARE
NO CLEAN HANDS HERE.

1014
00:38:19,431 --> 00:38:21,667
SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO KNOW
WHERE JUSTICE IS,

1015
00:38:21,700 --> 00:38:24,536
BUT YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

1016
00:38:26,738 --> 00:38:29,675
YOU JUST HAVE TO TRY AND SAVE
WHO YOU CAN SAVE.

1017
00:38:37,949 --> 00:38:40,586
ASSAULT TWO, SUSPENDED SENTENCE,
FIVE YEARS' PROBATION.

1018
00:38:40,619 --> 00:38:44,690
SAME TERMS FOR
AMELIA LAZARO'S CARE.

1019
00:38:44,723 --> 00:38:48,560
AND THERE'S MORE.

1020
00:38:48,594 --> 00:38:51,062
I WANT HER AGREEMENT
THAT SHE WON'T CONSENT

1021
00:38:51,096 --> 00:38:52,598
TO THE PROCEDURE
WITH HER DAUGHTER.

1022
00:38:52,631 --> 00:38:53,932
LIKE HELL WE WILL.

1023
00:38:53,965 --> 00:38:54,933
HE CAN'T DO THAT, CAN HE?

1024
00:38:54,966 --> 00:38:55,734
NO, HE CAN'T.

1025
00:38:55,767 --> 00:38:57,369
MR. CUTTER,
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

1026
00:38:57,403 --> 00:38:58,604
TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT,

1027
00:38:58,637 --> 00:39:00,439
MRS. TALBOT,
OR WE GO TO TRIAL

1028
00:39:00,472 --> 00:39:01,473
AND YOU GO TO PRISON.

1029
00:39:07,846 --> 00:39:09,381
HONEY...

1030
00:39:11,417 --> 00:39:15,687
I CAN'T BE AWAY FROM HER.

1031
00:39:15,721 --> 00:39:19,958
YOU WANT TO TELL ME
WHAT THIS IS?

1032
00:39:19,991 --> 00:39:21,893
I'M GUESSING YOU ALREADY KNOW.

1033
00:39:21,927 --> 00:39:23,729
NO OPERATION,
NO HORMONE THERAPY.

1034
00:39:23,762 --> 00:39:26,465
YOU'VE ATTACHED AN ILLEGAL
STIPULATION TO A PLEA.

1035
00:39:26,498 --> 00:39:28,434
YOU'VE VIOLATED MRS. TALBOT'S
RIGHTS.

1036
00:39:28,467 --> 00:39:29,968
THE JUDGE WILL REPUDIATE
THIS DOCUMENT.

1037
00:39:30,001 --> 00:39:31,737
I CAN SELL HIM ON IT.

1038
00:39:31,770 --> 00:39:33,104
I'M REPUDIATING IT!

1039
00:39:33,138 --> 00:39:34,640
YOU'VE GONE COMPLETELY
OFF THE RESERVATION HERE!

1040
00:39:34,673 --> 00:39:36,608
JUST IMITATING THE MASTER.

1041
00:39:36,642 --> 00:39:37,743
PEOPLE V. WILLICH.

1042
00:39:37,776 --> 00:39:39,478
THE MUNCHAUSEN-BY-PROXY
CASE.

1043
00:39:39,511 --> 00:39:41,680
DID YOU FORGET YOU MADE
ENFORCED STERILIZATION

1044
00:39:41,713 --> 00:39:43,415
A CONDITION OF A PLEA

1045
00:39:43,449 --> 00:39:44,483
FOR A WOMAN WHO KILLED
HER BABIES?

1046
00:39:44,516 --> 00:39:46,151
I REMEMBER!

1047
00:39:46,184 --> 00:39:48,687
I ALSO REMEMBER THE JUDGE
REAMING ME OUT FOR IT.

1048
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:50,489
HE WAS RIGHT!

1049
00:39:50,522 --> 00:39:51,757
YOU FOLLOWED YOUR INSTINCTS.
I'M FOLLOWING MINE.

1050
00:39:51,790 --> 00:39:53,158
IT'S WHAT WE BOTH
GET PAID FOR.

1051
00:39:53,191 --> 00:39:55,627
YOU GET PAID TO FOLLOW ORDERS.

1052
00:39:55,661 --> 00:39:57,896
THE COURT DIDN'T BUY
THE ARGUMENT

1053
00:39:57,929 --> 00:39:59,965
THE TALBOTS ARE ASSAULTING
THEIR DAUGHTER.

1054
00:39:59,998 --> 00:40:01,900
IT'S TIME TO TURN THE PAGE,
MIKE.

1055
00:40:01,933 --> 00:40:03,869
I HAVE AN EXECUTED
PLEA AGREEMENT.

1056
00:40:03,902 --> 00:40:06,438
I'M MOVING FORWARD.

1057
00:40:06,472 --> 00:40:07,739
YOU WANT TO TAKE THE CASE AWAY,

1058
00:40:07,773 --> 00:40:09,074
THAT'S YOUR CALL.

1059
00:40:22,253 --> 00:40:23,955
I HAVE REAL RESERVATIONS

1060
00:40:23,989 --> 00:40:26,458
ABOUT THIS STIPULATION,
MR. CUTTER.

1061
00:40:26,492 --> 00:40:28,193
PARENTS' CONTROL AND CARE
OF THEIR CHILDREN

1062
00:40:28,226 --> 00:40:30,762
IS A RIGHT PROTECTED
UNDER THE 14TH AMENDMENT.

1063
00:40:30,796 --> 00:40:32,798
THAT RIGHT ISN'T ABSOLUTE.

1064
00:40:32,831 --> 00:40:35,567
IT GIVES WAY TO
A COMPELLING STATE INTEREST.

1065
00:40:35,601 --> 00:40:36,935
LIKE PROTECTING A MINOR.

1066
00:40:36,968 --> 00:40:40,005
I BELIEVE I HAVE ALREADY RULED
ON THAT, MR. CUTTER.

1067
00:40:40,038 --> 00:40:42,073
YOU RULED THAT THE OPERATION
ISN'T A CRIME.

1068
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:43,742
THAT DOESN'T MEAN
THE STATE STILL CAN'T

1069
00:40:43,775 --> 00:40:46,712
TAKE AN INTEREST
IN STOPPING IT.

1070
00:40:46,745 --> 00:40:48,179
MR. MCCOY.

1071
00:40:48,213 --> 00:40:49,681
PERMISSION TO APPROACH.

1072
00:40:55,787 --> 00:40:57,756
I'VE JUST BEEN MADE AWARE
OF THE SUBSTANCE

1073
00:40:57,789 --> 00:41:00,058
OF THE PLEA AGREEMENT
IN THIS MATTER.

1074
00:41:00,091 --> 00:41:01,126
THEN YOU KNOW IT ATTEMPTS

1075
00:41:01,159 --> 00:41:03,862
TO IMPOSE A QUESTIONABLE
STIPULATION.

1076
00:41:03,895 --> 00:41:05,897
MY OFFICE DOESN'T SANCTION
THAT STIPULATION

1077
00:41:05,931 --> 00:41:07,733
AND WILL REMOVE IT.

1078
00:41:07,766 --> 00:41:09,701
I'D LIKE TO
APOLOGIZE TO THE COURT

1079
00:41:09,735 --> 00:41:13,939
AND MRS. TALBOT FOR THIS ERROR
IN JUDGMENT.

1080
00:41:13,972 --> 00:41:15,941
(Bradley)
WITH THE REMOVAL
OF THE STIPULATION,

1081
00:41:15,974 --> 00:41:18,043
THE COURT HAS NO OBJECTION
TO THIS PLEA AGREEMENT.

1082
00:41:18,076 --> 00:41:21,780
WE MAY PROCEED
WITH THE ALLOCUTION.

1083
00:41:56,047 --> 00:41:58,784
PEOPLE V. WILLICH,
I OVERSTEPPED BACK THEN.

1084
00:42:03,354 --> 00:42:08,794
ONE DAY YOU'LL THANK ME
FOR YANKING YOUR LEASH, MIKE.

1085
00:42:08,827 --> 00:42:13,799
SOMETIMES I WISH SOMEONE
HAD BEEN THERE TO YANK MINE.

1086
