1
00:00:06,687 --> 00:00:09,212
In New York City's
war on crime,
2
00:00:09,289 --> 00:00:11,314
the worst criminal offenders
are pursued
3
00:00:11,391 --> 00:00:14,224
by the detectives
of the Major Case Squad.
4
00:00:14,294 --> 00:00:16,057
These are their stories.
5
00:00:19,066 --> 00:00:23,901
Oh, sweetie, careful. Mama
has to finish her work tonight.
6
00:00:24,371 --> 00:00:27,067
Damn it! It's already
gone to collection.
7
00:00:27,140 --> 00:00:30,473
Honey, can you take him? I
have to get these pieces ready.
8
00:00:30,544 --> 00:00:32,273
Come here.
Come here.
9
00:00:34,681 --> 00:00:35,841
You bought new boots?
10
00:00:35,916 --> 00:00:38,180
He grew out of
the other ones.
11
00:00:38,385 --> 00:00:42,583
You know, whatever you think
I'm made of, Vanessa, I'm not.
12
00:01:04,044 --> 00:01:07,207
That's a three-and-a-quarter
carat diamond bezel.
13
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,909
The face is white
gold, not no stainless.
14
00:01:10,984 --> 00:01:14,613
That's gold, my friend.
15
00:01:45,652 --> 00:01:46,641
Who are you?
16
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,348
I'm Vanessa.
I'm a little early.
17
00:01:49,423 --> 00:01:50,412
Early for what?
18
00:01:50,490 --> 00:01:51,514
Our appointment.
19
00:01:51,591 --> 00:01:54,719
Owen said you were
interested in my work.
20
00:01:54,795 --> 00:01:56,854
Well, today's your lucky day.
21
00:01:58,465 --> 00:02:00,990
Go! Go! Go!
22
00:02:03,570 --> 00:02:06,664
Coming through!
Watch your back.
23
00:02:22,222 --> 00:02:23,211
The head shot?
24
00:02:23,290 --> 00:02:26,191
Her name's Vanessa Nikos. I'm
trying to get a hold of her husband.
25
00:02:26,259 --> 00:02:29,660
Tell him to hurry up and come
have a last look, say goodbye.
26
00:02:31,097 --> 00:02:34,225
One gun,
one kid without a mother.
27
00:03:24,084 --> 00:03:27,611
He made me lie
face down in the back.
28
00:03:27,921 --> 00:03:29,855
I couldn't see anything.
29
00:03:30,724 --> 00:03:33,750
Then I heard him yelling
at the girl to get down.
30
00:03:34,861 --> 00:03:39,662
I heard breaking glass,
then I heard the shot.
31
00:03:40,133 --> 00:03:42,124
Was the woman
resisting him?
32
00:03:42,202 --> 00:03:44,693
Maybe.
It happened so fast.
33
00:03:44,771 --> 00:03:46,170
What did the security tape
show?
34
00:03:46,239 --> 00:03:47,866
Mr. Gehry hadn't
turned it on yet.
35
00:03:47,941 --> 00:03:50,774
But I've seen
this guy before.
36
00:03:51,645 --> 00:03:55,172
Two weeks ago, he came in,
middle of the afternoon.
37
00:03:55,248 --> 00:03:59,048
He said the management company sent
him to check the fire sprinklers.
38
00:03:59,119 --> 00:04:01,019
He show ID?
No.
39
00:04:01,087 --> 00:04:03,112
And the woman?
Ever see her before?
40
00:04:03,189 --> 00:04:04,417
No.
41
00:04:04,491 --> 00:04:08,450
She said she made an appointment
with my assistant Owen to
42
00:04:08,528 --> 00:04:09,893
show her work.
43
00:04:10,330 --> 00:04:12,696
But she wasn't
on my schedule.
44
00:04:12,766 --> 00:04:15,564
Where was Owen
during the robbery?
45
00:04:15,635 --> 00:04:16,966
Parking the car.
46
00:04:17,037 --> 00:04:18,061
I don't think
he's involved.
47
00:04:18,138 --> 00:04:20,504
That's because Owen would have
wanted any accomplice of his
48
00:04:20,574 --> 00:04:25,477
to take these Tiffany-style
bubble necklaces instead of
49
00:04:25,545 --> 00:04:27,536
these second-rate pinkie rings.
50
00:04:27,614 --> 00:04:28,979
Exactly.
51
00:04:30,417 --> 00:04:32,214
What's Owen's take
on this appointment?
52
00:04:32,285 --> 00:04:34,515
He says he never
talked to the girl.
53
00:04:34,588 --> 00:04:37,955
Never saw her till we found her
lying here with a bullet in her head.
54
00:04:38,024 --> 00:04:40,788
I'm guessing the young
lady was the decoy.
55
00:04:40,860 --> 00:04:43,124
Her accomplice decided he
preferred a one-way split.
56
00:04:43,196 --> 00:04:47,496
A decoy who brought
her press clippings?
57
00:04:49,102 --> 00:04:51,696
So, there's write-ups
on her jewelry designs,
58
00:04:51,771 --> 00:04:53,398
samples of her work.
59
00:04:54,007 --> 00:04:55,770
She came here
looking for a job.
60
00:04:55,842 --> 00:05:00,506
She had no appointment, yet somehow she
showed up just in time for the party.
61
00:05:03,216 --> 00:05:06,151
He called yesterday.
62
00:05:06,219 --> 00:05:08,517
He said his name was Owen from Gehry's.
63
00:05:08,588 --> 00:05:11,056
They'd seen her
stuff in magazines,
64
00:05:11,124 --> 00:05:14,491
and they wanted her to make a
presentation at 10:00 this morning.
65
00:05:14,561 --> 00:05:18,395
I told him 10:00 wasn't a good
time for her, but he insisted.
66
00:05:19,132 --> 00:05:24,399
So, you said that 10:00
wasn't convenient for Vanessa?
67
00:05:24,471 --> 00:05:26,735
My shift starts at 9:00,
68
00:05:26,806 --> 00:05:31,004
and she has Jake until 12:00, when
she drops him off at nursery school.
69
00:05:31,077 --> 00:05:33,841
Did she call Gehry's to change the time?
70
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,344
She tried the number I got from Owen,
71
00:05:36,416 --> 00:05:38,441
but maybe I wrote it down wrong.
72
00:05:38,685 --> 00:05:40,778
And no one answered
at the regular number.
73
00:05:40,854 --> 00:05:43,220
But somehow she made it
to the store by 10:00.
74
00:05:43,289 --> 00:05:47,988
We got her mom to come over at 9:30.
I hung out with Jake until then.
75
00:05:48,061 --> 00:05:53,363
So, Vanessa never talked to Owen?
76
00:05:54,701 --> 00:05:55,963
Just you?
77
00:05:56,036 --> 00:05:58,630
Yeah, yes.
Come on, Jake, stop.
78
00:05:58,938 --> 00:06:00,735
Hey, Jake, here.
79
00:06:00,807 --> 00:06:03,037
Maybe you could play castle with these.
80
00:06:05,011 --> 00:06:08,412
You know, we saw your
wife's jewelry pieces.
81
00:06:08,481 --> 00:06:10,540
She was very talented.
82
00:06:10,617 --> 00:06:13,415
The materials looked
very expensive.
83
00:06:13,486 --> 00:06:16,319
Did you have to take
extra shifts to pay for it?
84
00:06:16,389 --> 00:06:19,051
Pulling doubles, working
six days a week sometimes.
85
00:06:19,125 --> 00:06:23,562
One of the write-ups in her sample case
said she used to be a social worker.
86
00:06:23,630 --> 00:06:26,963
Now, wouldn't it have been easier
for her to just go back to that?
87
00:06:27,033 --> 00:06:30,969
Excuse me, they got me signing
all these forms for organ donation.
88
00:06:31,037 --> 00:06:33,471
Jake, let's go.
I want. I want...
89
00:06:37,711 --> 00:06:42,011
He took the message. He jumped through
hoops to get her to the store by 10:00.
90
00:06:42,082 --> 00:06:46,644
He set her up. A hit
masquerading as a robbery?
91
00:06:48,088 --> 00:06:51,353
And now he has to raise
his son by himself.
92
00:06:51,825 --> 00:06:53,656
He can hardly handle
him for five minutes.
93
00:06:53,727 --> 00:06:55,456
Well, like any
self-respecting lout,
94
00:06:55,528 --> 00:06:58,326
he'll dump him on
his mother-in-law.
95
00:06:58,565 --> 00:07:01,625
The earliest I could get there was 9:30.
96
00:07:04,170 --> 00:07:09,540
I don't understand why he did this to
her, after all he's put her through.
97
00:07:10,009 --> 00:07:11,271
Martin?
98
00:07:12,846 --> 00:07:16,304
No. Him.
99
00:07:17,984 --> 00:07:21,044
All the things
God put her through?
100
00:07:21,621 --> 00:07:26,490
Five years ago, Vanessa took some
tetracycline I had in the closet.
101
00:07:27,093 --> 00:07:31,757
She didn't check the date.
It damaged her kidneys.
102
00:07:32,665 --> 00:07:35,293
She had to go on dialysis.
103
00:07:36,236 --> 00:07:41,299
She's pregnant with Jake. Women
on dialysis, they can't conceive.
104
00:07:41,374 --> 00:07:43,399
Did she have a transplant?
105
00:07:43,476 --> 00:07:50,109
Three years ago. A life-saving gift
from a living donor, a stranger.
106
00:07:52,786 --> 00:07:55,619
Now strangers will
receive her organs.
107
00:07:58,158 --> 00:08:01,355
If I hadn't
gone over at 9:30,
108
00:08:02,128 --> 00:08:04,756
there wouldn't have been
anyone to watch Jake.
109
00:08:04,831 --> 00:08:07,766
She wouldn't have
been in that store.
110
00:08:08,268 --> 00:08:11,032
It was out of your hands.
111
00:08:11,838 --> 00:08:16,798
Her heart was still beating
when they brought her in.
112
00:08:25,285 --> 00:08:28,652
They're all starting to look alike.
113
00:08:28,721 --> 00:08:32,282
Mr. Gehry, what time do you go to lunch?
114
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,359
1:00 to 2:00. Owen
drives me to Toe Blake's.
115
00:08:37,297 --> 00:08:38,992
Okay, Mr. Gehry.
Why don't you take five?
116
00:08:43,736 --> 00:08:45,203
He pick a winner?
Not yet.
117
00:08:45,271 --> 00:08:48,365
But our sketch is
looking pretty good.
118
00:08:48,441 --> 00:08:49,635
It's all in the timing.
119
00:08:50,910 --> 00:08:55,938
10:00. That's the most inconvenient
time to get Vanessa to the store.
120
00:08:56,015 --> 00:08:57,414
Someone had to...
121
00:08:57,483 --> 00:09:00,509
Well, they had to find somebody
to watch Jake, the little boy.
122
00:09:01,888 --> 00:09:07,451
But 2:00. Jake is in nursery
school from 12:00 to 3:00.
123
00:09:08,561 --> 00:09:10,085
The jeweler was alone.
124
00:09:10,163 --> 00:09:12,461
2:00 would've been the most
convenient time to get the girl there.
125
00:09:12,532 --> 00:09:15,660
Yeah, someone else's
schedule was being served.
126
00:09:15,735 --> 00:09:19,000
Her heart was still
beating. She was left alive.
127
00:09:19,072 --> 00:09:21,006
With a bullet
still in her head.
128
00:09:21,074 --> 00:09:22,473
What kind of bullet?
129
00:09:22,542 --> 00:09:24,407
Ballistics just came in.
130
00:09:27,814 --> 00:09:29,281
.357.
131
00:09:29,349 --> 00:09:32,716
Should've gone right through her
skull, not to mention the wall.
132
00:09:32,785 --> 00:09:34,184
How far away was he when he shot her?
133
00:09:34,254 --> 00:09:35,482
It was a contact wound.
134
00:09:35,555 --> 00:09:38,581
He had the weapon pressed
against her temple.
135
00:09:38,658 --> 00:09:40,683
The front half of her head
should be blown clean off.
136
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,194
He must've used a bullet
with a lightened load.
137
00:09:43,263 --> 00:09:46,061
Just enough to destroy
her frontal lobes.
138
00:09:49,636 --> 00:09:53,367
He wanted her brain-dead
with her heart still beating.
139
00:09:58,878 --> 00:10:00,436
A live donor.
140
00:10:03,583 --> 00:10:04,982
Organs from
a live donor,
141
00:10:05,051 --> 00:10:08,350
they stand a better
chance of being accepted.
142
00:10:12,191 --> 00:10:14,716
This looks good.
There won't be any problem.
143
00:10:14,794 --> 00:10:17,558
We are talking two
weeks from now, right?
144
00:10:17,630 --> 00:10:20,121
It's all set.
Everybody's lined up.
145
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:24,158
I know this is going
to change your life,
146
00:10:24,237 --> 00:10:28,333
but until then, you have to
just stick to your routine.
147
00:10:35,214 --> 00:10:39,378
There's never been anybody
looking out for me but me.
148
00:10:48,127 --> 00:10:50,186
Her liver went to
Mount Sinai in Baltimore,
149
00:10:50,263 --> 00:10:51,924
her right lung to
Hartford Methodist,
150
00:10:51,998 --> 00:10:55,490
her left to Saint Beatrice in
Albany, her heart to Newark General,
151
00:10:55,568 --> 00:10:58,036
her pancreas to
Metropolitan in Philadelphia,
152
00:10:58,104 --> 00:10:59,128
her intestines to...
153
00:10:59,205 --> 00:11:03,733
Excuse me, did any of her
organs end up in this hospital?
154
00:11:04,043 --> 00:11:06,375
Yes. Mrs. Nikos had one kidney.
155
00:11:06,446 --> 00:11:07,879
It went to Sarah Edgars.
156
00:11:07,947 --> 00:11:10,438
Was she next up on the
waiting list for a transplant?
157
00:11:10,516 --> 00:11:12,711
That's not the only
determining factor.
158
00:11:12,785 --> 00:11:16,084
Mrs. Edgars and the deceased
shared a rare blood type.
159
00:11:16,155 --> 00:11:19,215
She was the only one on the
waiting list with that blood type?
160
00:11:19,292 --> 00:11:22,659
No, but she's here three
times a week for dialysis.
161
00:11:22,729 --> 00:11:25,789
And one of those times just happened
to be that morning at around 10:00?
162
00:11:25,865 --> 00:11:28,265
Yes. She's here
from 9:00 to 1:00.
163
00:11:29,035 --> 00:11:32,061
Timing,
it really is everything.
164
00:11:34,774 --> 00:11:37,106
Sarah Edgars has
glomerulonephritis.
165
00:11:37,176 --> 00:11:39,736
She'd been waiting for
a kidney for four years.
166
00:11:39,812 --> 00:11:41,279
Mickey Mantle waited
a day.
167
00:11:41,347 --> 00:11:44,874
If Vanessa Nikos' kidney
hadn't fallen into Sarah's lap,
168
00:11:44,951 --> 00:11:46,782
how long would she have
had to wait for one?
169
00:11:46,853 --> 00:11:48,286
It's impossible to say.
170
00:11:48,354 --> 00:11:51,050
Her family must
be growing desperate.
171
00:11:51,124 --> 00:11:52,751
There's only her son, Brian.
172
00:11:52,825 --> 00:11:55,487
He's been bringing her in for
her dialysis since he was 16.
173
00:11:55,561 --> 00:11:58,359
He waits for her four hours
a pop, three times a week?
174
00:11:58,431 --> 00:11:59,659
He's very devoted.
175
00:11:59,732 --> 00:12:03,133
He manages to pass the time
by chatting up the nurses.
176
00:12:03,202 --> 00:12:06,535
We're going to need
to meet Mrs. Edgars.
177
00:12:06,606 --> 00:12:09,837
Let me see what the nurses
have scheduled for her.
178
00:12:10,243 --> 00:12:13,906
A devoted son.
Devoted and desperate?
179
00:12:15,314 --> 00:12:18,841
She looks like a nice person.
They told me she had a child.
180
00:12:18,918 --> 00:12:21,386
A son. Her name's Vanessa Nikos.
181
00:12:21,454 --> 00:12:23,319
We're wondering if
you've ever heard of her.
182
00:12:23,389 --> 00:12:26,483
No. They also told me
that the kidney she gave me
183
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,493
she herself got
from another donor.
184
00:12:29,929 --> 00:12:33,023
Third-hand or not, I'm
grateful. Excuse me.
185
00:12:33,866 --> 00:12:36,562
In addition to free air
filters for the home,
186
00:12:36,636 --> 00:12:39,628
we will offer a stop-smoking
program for the parents.
187
00:12:39,705 --> 00:12:41,536
Starting a non-profit?
188
00:12:41,607 --> 00:12:45,703
Breathing Free, for asthma kids in
Harlem. I founded it three years ago.
189
00:12:46,179 --> 00:12:48,545
I haven't had the
energy to grow it.
190
00:12:48,614 --> 00:12:53,415
It's hard to do. All that good
work can't pay much of a salary.
191
00:12:54,287 --> 00:12:56,278
Your son help you out?
Yes.
192
00:12:56,355 --> 00:13:00,451
He's a proofreader at Columbia,
in the Biology Department.
193
00:13:01,928 --> 00:13:03,987
Sorry. Mom,
I'm gonna have to go.
194
00:13:04,063 --> 00:13:07,555
Brian, these detectives are working
on that young woman's murder.
195
00:13:07,633 --> 00:13:09,601
The one who gave
your mother her kidney.
196
00:13:09,669 --> 00:13:12,001
Yeah, that's
a picture of her.
197
00:13:12,705 --> 00:13:16,801
Vanessa.
She had a son, too.
198
00:13:18,778 --> 00:13:22,077
I'm sorry for her family.
She saved my mother's life.
199
00:13:22,148 --> 00:13:25,845
Columbia. Your mother said that
you work in the Biology Department.
200
00:13:25,918 --> 00:13:27,852
Is that what you
studied? Biology?
201
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,047
It was my major,
but I had to withdraw.
202
00:13:30,123 --> 00:13:33,820
Between his job and getting me to
dialysis, Brian couldn't do it all.
203
00:13:33,893 --> 00:13:35,918
He's put his whole
life on hold for you.
204
00:13:35,995 --> 00:13:38,589
I bet you were in a
hurry to see her get well.
205
00:13:38,664 --> 00:13:39,653
Sure.
206
00:13:39,732 --> 00:13:42,166
Oh, the waiting infuriated him.
207
00:13:42,235 --> 00:13:46,171
He was always checking the
Transplant Network, writing letters.
208
00:13:46,239 --> 00:13:49,766
Being a biologist, you
must've been on top of it.
209
00:13:50,510 --> 00:13:53,479
Rare blood types, matching tissue.
210
00:13:54,147 --> 00:13:58,083
Did you see her, Mrs. Nikos, when
they brought her into the E. R?
211
00:13:58,151 --> 00:14:01,052
No. I was up in
the dialysis ward.
212
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,452
That's where all the good-looking
nurses are, in the E.R.
213
00:14:03,523 --> 00:14:05,582
We heard you like
to chat up the nurses.
214
00:14:05,658 --> 00:14:07,785
I was with my mom. They
messed up her appointment.
215
00:14:07,860 --> 00:14:10,658
That's right.
They almost sent me home.
216
00:14:10,730 --> 00:14:13,722
It was 10:00 before a chair freed up.
217
00:14:14,634 --> 00:14:16,761
I got to get to work, okay?
218
00:14:22,441 --> 00:14:25,433
His mother gets her
life back, he gets his.
219
00:14:25,511 --> 00:14:27,240
It all works out for him.
220
00:14:28,381 --> 00:14:32,681
Nearly didn't. They almost sent
his mother home that morning.
221
00:14:34,153 --> 00:14:37,589
He had to make sure that she'd be
here when they brought Vanessa in.
222
00:14:37,657 --> 00:14:41,320
He had to call the shooter,
to hold off until he was sure.
223
00:14:43,329 --> 00:14:45,695
He couldn't use his
cell phone.
224
00:14:45,765 --> 00:14:48,256
Maybe they have
payphones up in dialysis.
225
00:14:50,570 --> 00:14:53,004
This kid didn't just pick
Vanessa out of the phone book.
226
00:14:53,072 --> 00:14:54,767
Though he might've,
virtually.
227
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,434
The Internet is full of
people appealing for donors.
228
00:14:57,510 --> 00:15:00,502
They list their blood types,
their city of residence.
229
00:15:00,580 --> 00:15:03,105
I got the dumps off the
payphone on the dialysis floor.
230
00:15:03,182 --> 00:15:06,845
There were about 20 calls between
9:00 and 10:00 that morning.
231
00:15:06,919 --> 00:15:11,754
They all check out, except for these
three calls placed to the same number.
232
00:15:11,824 --> 00:15:15,021
A disposable, no-name cell
phone. Maybe Brian's accomplice?
233
00:15:15,094 --> 00:15:17,688
I'm getting tired of sentences
that start with "maybe. "
234
00:15:17,763 --> 00:15:20,960
Well, how about the phone company
matched the phone's serial number
235
00:15:21,033 --> 00:15:24,230
to the minute cards the user
bought to load up the phone?
236
00:15:24,303 --> 00:15:28,000
The cards trace back to
a store on Delancey Street.
237
00:15:28,074 --> 00:15:32,033
Maybe. Pass this
around the store.
238
00:15:32,111 --> 00:15:34,375
See if anybody
hears ring tones.
239
00:15:38,117 --> 00:15:43,145
Excuse me, I want to give you these
hypo-allergenic pillows for the asthma kids.
240
00:15:43,222 --> 00:15:45,486
They're still in their
original packaging.
241
00:15:45,558 --> 00:15:48,220
I'm sorry, sir, but we're
not ready to accept equipment.
242
00:15:48,294 --> 00:15:52,162
Not ready? Sarah Edgars is getting
out of the hospital next week.
243
00:15:52,231 --> 00:15:55,200
You people better get your act
together. She's got important work to do.
244
00:15:55,268 --> 00:15:59,534
Yes, thank you. And thank
you for your donation.
245
00:15:59,605 --> 00:16:03,837
A lot of work went into
this. Don't let Sarah fail.
246
00:16:03,909 --> 00:16:05,308
Just don't let her fail.
247
00:16:24,063 --> 00:16:26,861
Looks like our guy in the sketch.
248
00:16:31,337 --> 00:16:34,602
Jesse Aparicio, 43.
249
00:16:34,674 --> 00:16:37,768
Still got one of the phone
cards he bought at the store.
250
00:16:41,647 --> 00:16:44,548
Central, we've got
a DOA gunshot wound.
251
00:16:44,617 --> 00:16:47,586
117 Rivington,
Apartment 3-David.
252
00:16:47,653 --> 00:16:50,486
Notify the ME
and send a bus.
253
00:16:51,123 --> 00:16:54,058
This wound, looks like
the skull exploded.
254
00:16:56,729 --> 00:17:00,927
Shooter would've had his muzzle
tight up against his head.
255
00:17:01,267 --> 00:17:05,431
And the gasses from the gunshot,
they went into the skull.
256
00:17:05,504 --> 00:17:09,941
As they expanded, they had no places
to go but back out the entry wound.
257
00:17:10,576 --> 00:17:13,807
The shooter would've
been covered in blowback.
258
00:17:14,847 --> 00:17:16,747
Oxygen tank?
259
00:17:17,116 --> 00:17:19,448
Must've been overdoing
it at the gym.
260
00:17:22,088 --> 00:17:25,285
Spirometry tests.
It's for lung function.
261
00:17:25,358 --> 00:17:27,451
This might tell us why.
262
00:17:29,528 --> 00:17:34,261
Two chest x-rays
taken seven years apart.
263
00:17:36,168 --> 00:17:39,069
No tumors, broken bones.
264
00:17:42,475 --> 00:17:43,908
It looks like
265
00:17:47,546 --> 00:17:51,312
the ribs got wider
apart over time.
266
00:17:53,085 --> 00:17:55,713
That could be
from emphysema.
267
00:17:56,122 --> 00:17:59,751
His days would've been numbered,
unless he had a new lung.
268
00:18:00,459 --> 00:18:05,021
A lung for a kidney? Maybe his
reward for shooting Vanessa.
269
00:18:09,235 --> 00:18:12,227
The jeweler ID'd Aparicio
as Vanessa's shooter.
270
00:18:12,304 --> 00:18:15,637
He was shot with the same
gun he used on her, a. 357.
271
00:18:15,708 --> 00:18:17,505
He had two priors
for assault.
272
00:18:18,844 --> 00:18:22,712
And he had defective airbags.
You confirm with his clinic?
273
00:18:22,782 --> 00:18:24,773
They said he had
congenital emphysema.
274
00:18:24,850 --> 00:18:28,013
He was on a waiting list
for a transplant at NYU.
275
00:18:29,655 --> 00:18:32,954
Middle-aged guy,
single, no kids.
276
00:18:33,025 --> 00:18:34,253
Not a priority candidate.
277
00:18:34,326 --> 00:18:36,624
They figured he was a
six-year wait, minimum.
278
00:18:36,695 --> 00:18:41,029
He was buying time by exercising
to reduce his need for oxygen.
279
00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:44,092
Murder probably didn't sound so
bad if he got a lung out of it.
280
00:18:44,170 --> 00:18:45,159
Question is, whose lung?
281
00:18:45,237 --> 00:18:46,602
Somebody with
B- negative blood.
282
00:18:46,672 --> 00:18:49,664
He had the same blood type
as Vanessa and Brian's mom.
283
00:18:49,742 --> 00:18:51,676
You still need to connect
the dots on Brian Edgars.
284
00:18:51,744 --> 00:18:53,405
Working on it.
285
00:18:53,946 --> 00:18:58,508
This is a letter from Aparicio's
employer dated last month,
286
00:18:58,584 --> 00:19:00,779
granting his request for an unpaid,
287
00:19:00,853 --> 00:19:04,482
two-month medical leave
starting next week.
288
00:19:04,557 --> 00:19:07,185
Two months would cover the
transplant and the recovery.
289
00:19:07,259 --> 00:19:10,251
Well, the only way that he could've
scheduled it that far in advance is
290
00:19:10,329 --> 00:19:14,698
if he was getting his
lung from a living donor.
291
00:19:17,069 --> 00:19:18,331
Vanessa's kidney,
292
00:19:18,571 --> 00:19:20,539
the one that she got three years ago,
293
00:19:20,606 --> 00:19:24,474
her mother said it was from
a living donor, a stranger.
294
00:19:25,678 --> 00:19:29,546
Now, living organ
donations from strangers.
295
00:19:31,050 --> 00:19:32,415
How common can that be?
296
00:19:32,485 --> 00:19:35,682
Here. The report on
Vanessa's kidney transplant.
297
00:19:35,754 --> 00:19:41,056
It was done at Hudson Medical
by Drs. Shimo and Myers.
298
00:19:42,761 --> 00:19:45,924
Six months ago,
Aparicio signed a release
299
00:19:46,398 --> 00:19:49,959
to allow the clinic to send
his medical files to Dr. Myers.
300
00:19:50,302 --> 00:19:53,169
Sounds like Dr. Myers runs
his own transplant network.
301
00:19:55,174 --> 00:19:57,369
It's possible I might've done a consult.
302
00:19:57,443 --> 00:19:59,343
I review a lot of these
cases. Why do you ask?
303
00:19:59,411 --> 00:20:01,936
We believe he might've
had a transplant scheduled
304
00:20:02,014 --> 00:20:03,447
for next week with a living donor.
305
00:20:03,516 --> 00:20:05,347
You know anything about it?
306
00:20:05,684 --> 00:20:08,983
No.
Mr. Aparicio say I do?
307
00:20:09,321 --> 00:20:10,913
He's not saying much
of anything anymore.
308
00:20:10,990 --> 00:20:15,290
Somebody performed brain surgery
on him with a. 357 Magnum.
309
00:20:15,361 --> 00:20:17,124
That's unfortunate.
310
00:20:17,196 --> 00:20:22,964
Yeah, and no. He was a suspect
in another murder last week.
311
00:20:25,004 --> 00:20:29,805
Vanessa Nikos.
Kidney, three years ago.
312
00:20:31,777 --> 00:20:33,438
Yes, I remember.
313
00:20:34,947 --> 00:20:36,744
You do her surgery?
314
00:20:36,815 --> 00:20:39,340
I harvested the kidney
from the donor.
315
00:20:39,418 --> 00:20:41,545
Well, you'll be happy
to know it wasn't for nothing.
316
00:20:41,620 --> 00:20:43,087
After Vanessa was killed,
317
00:20:43,155 --> 00:20:46,124
the kidney was transplanted
into Sarah Edgars.
318
00:20:47,092 --> 00:20:51,222
Another familiar name? We
checked with her physician.
319
00:20:51,297 --> 00:20:54,494
He said that he sent you
her records three years ago.
320
00:20:54,567 --> 00:20:56,899
Apparently, there was
a prospective donor.
321
00:20:56,969 --> 00:20:59,199
Yes, but the donor
changed their mind.
322
00:20:59,271 --> 00:21:01,239
They picked
Vanessa Nikos instead?
323
00:21:01,307 --> 00:21:03,366
I can't discuss that with you.
324
00:21:03,576 --> 00:21:07,205
Well, how about discussing if Sarah
Edgars' son Brian contacted you?
325
00:21:07,279 --> 00:21:09,975
He might have been angry
his mother wasn't chosen.
326
00:21:10,049 --> 00:21:13,507
He never contacted me. I
never met him or his mother.
327
00:21:13,586 --> 00:21:17,078
Anyway, who got what from
whom is subject to privilege.
328
00:21:20,025 --> 00:21:23,324
There's no reason he'd
be lying about Brian Edgars.
329
00:21:23,662 --> 00:21:28,122
Well, maybe what he's nervous
about has nothing to do with Brian.
330
00:21:28,734 --> 00:21:32,636
Myers is in the middle of
a lot of organ transactions.
331
00:21:32,705 --> 00:21:35,139
He might be running
an organ mill.
332
00:21:35,207 --> 00:21:40,110
Well, if he is, he'd have to collect a
finder's fee from Vanessa for the kidney.
333
00:21:40,980 --> 00:21:42,675
She didn't pay
Dr. Myers anything.
334
00:21:42,748 --> 00:21:44,340
I would've known.
She was living with me.
335
00:21:44,416 --> 00:21:46,475
Maybe she was told
not to say anything.
336
00:21:46,552 --> 00:21:49,521
She was putting herself through
school on a social worker's salary.
337
00:21:49,622 --> 00:21:52,887
And then the dialysis.
She had no money left over.
338
00:21:53,425 --> 00:21:55,325
Who paid for
the transplant?
339
00:21:55,394 --> 00:21:58,022
The donor did.
He paid for everything,
340
00:21:58,397 --> 00:22:01,093
even the drugs she had to
keep taking after the surgery.
341
00:22:01,166 --> 00:22:03,293
She was lucky
to find this guy.
342
00:22:03,369 --> 00:22:05,394
No, he found her.
343
00:22:05,938 --> 00:22:08,236
Dr. Myers called out
of the blue and said
344
00:22:08,307 --> 00:22:11,868
he had a patient who'd
seen her ad on the Internet.
345
00:22:11,944 --> 00:22:13,969
He picked her to
receive his kidney.
346
00:22:14,046 --> 00:22:15,775
Why her? Did he say?
347
00:22:16,181 --> 00:22:18,877
She only talked to him
once, at Dr. Myers' office.
348
00:22:18,951 --> 00:22:23,320
He said he wanted to help her
fulfill her good intentions.
349
00:22:23,389 --> 00:22:25,186
Did Vanessa keep
in touch with him?
350
00:22:25,257 --> 00:22:27,657
She didn't
even know his name.
351
00:22:27,726 --> 00:22:30,126
What about medical records,
release forms?
352
00:22:30,195 --> 00:22:31,753
Did he give her
anything like that?
353
00:22:31,830 --> 00:22:35,527
The only thing he gave her
after the surgery was this.
354
00:22:36,568 --> 00:22:39,969
Vanessa had mentioned
that she admired Gandhi.
355
00:22:40,039 --> 00:22:42,166
When Jake started walking,
she was afraid he'd break it,
356
00:22:42,241 --> 00:22:43,833
so she brought it here.
357
00:22:43,909 --> 00:22:45,399
It's heavy.
358
00:22:45,978 --> 00:22:47,070
These numbers.
Did you put them here?
359
00:22:47,146 --> 00:22:49,614
No. I always wondered
what they were for.
360
00:22:49,682 --> 00:22:52,480
It's an insurance ID
number. In case it's stolen,
361
00:22:52,551 --> 00:22:56,453
it can be traced back to the
owner, whether he likes it or not.
362
00:22:59,091 --> 00:23:00,615
My father marked it.
363
00:23:00,693 --> 00:23:04,459
He couldn't stand the thought of
losing one of his valuable possessions.
364
00:23:04,530 --> 00:23:10,491
So, you gave away his statue of
Gandhi. That's a bit of poetic justice.
365
00:23:11,470 --> 00:23:17,431
You know, but a kidney to a total stranger,
now that's a little out of the ordinary.
366
00:23:17,509 --> 00:23:20,501
Gifts like that usually
come with a hefty price tag.
367
00:23:20,579 --> 00:23:24,413
Well, I don't know what Vanessa's mother
told you, but I didn't sell my kidney.
368
00:23:24,483 --> 00:23:26,451
That would defeat the
purpose of the gift.
369
00:23:26,518 --> 00:23:28,213
Which is what?
370
00:23:28,287 --> 00:23:32,951
To do good by giving someone
else the opportunity to do good.
371
00:23:33,092 --> 00:23:36,619
Before she became ill,
Vanessa was doing social work.
372
00:23:36,695 --> 00:23:38,993
She was taking law classes.
373
00:23:39,064 --> 00:23:41,089
She wanted to be a
children's rights advocate.
374
00:23:41,166 --> 00:23:44,397
Well, I'm sure
she was deserving of it.
375
00:23:45,304 --> 00:23:47,067
But to put your
own life at risk is...
376
00:23:47,139 --> 00:23:49,573
Oh, I get by fine with one kidney.
377
00:23:49,641 --> 00:23:51,632
But her blood type
was so rare that
378
00:23:51,710 --> 00:23:55,544
the chances of Vanessa receiving
a transplant were remote.
379
00:23:55,781 --> 00:23:59,512
Denying her my kidney would've
been tantamount to murder.
380
00:24:00,252 --> 00:24:03,016
That's a pretty extreme view,
Mr. Wainwright.
381
00:24:03,088 --> 00:24:06,717
So if I don't donate a kidney,
that makes me a murderer?
382
00:24:06,992 --> 00:24:09,483
You're the only one
who can answer that.
383
00:24:09,561 --> 00:24:12,621
This picture
was taken out West?
384
00:24:13,398 --> 00:24:16,925
At a Navajo Nation reservation.
I spent a year there teaching.
385
00:24:17,002 --> 00:24:18,936
You brought the family?
386
00:24:19,004 --> 00:24:22,531
I used to think that you had
to be a good person to do good.
387
00:24:22,608 --> 00:24:27,739
I'm teaching my kids you become
a good person by doing good.
388
00:24:28,247 --> 00:24:32,479
And now, your son volunteers
at inner-city schools.
389
00:24:32,918 --> 00:24:36,547
No, that's his school.
Those are his classmates.
390
00:24:36,922 --> 00:24:41,655
Oh, I thought, you know, the
sweatshirt. It said "Packard Academy. "
391
00:24:41,727 --> 00:24:45,527
Yeah, yeah, he used to go there. I
took both my kids out of private school.
392
00:24:45,597 --> 00:24:49,761
We used their tuition to buy
supplies for their new school.
393
00:24:50,702 --> 00:24:54,399
Before you picked Vanessa to get your
kidney, were there any other contenders?
394
00:24:54,473 --> 00:24:57,067
There weren't very many
candidates with my blood type.
395
00:24:57,142 --> 00:25:00,873
How about Sarah Edgars? Was
she someone you considered?
396
00:25:00,946 --> 00:25:02,607
She might've been.
397
00:25:03,215 --> 00:25:06,013
Do you have a...
398
00:25:06,084 --> 00:25:07,381
Oh, sure.
399
00:25:08,453 --> 00:25:14,050
Reason we ask is, your surgeon
reviewed Sarah's file three years ago.
400
00:25:14,126 --> 00:25:17,926
She was a single mom trying to start
a program for asthma kids in Harlem.
401
00:25:17,996 --> 00:25:20,021
Yes, I remember now.
402
00:25:20,098 --> 00:25:22,589
Well, it all worked out
for Sarah in the end.
403
00:25:22,668 --> 00:25:28,072
After Vanessa was shot, that
kidney was transplanted into Sarah.
404
00:25:30,843 --> 00:25:34,711
Life's a funny old dog,
isn't it, Mr. Wainwright?
405
00:25:34,780 --> 00:25:38,580
I'm just grateful something
good happened from this tragedy.
406
00:25:39,117 --> 00:25:42,484
Right. Thanks for the pen.
407
00:25:42,788 --> 00:25:44,915
Please, keep it.
Oh, come on.
408
00:25:45,591 --> 00:25:46,922
It's very expensive. I can't.
409
00:25:46,992 --> 00:25:48,550
No, I don't need it.
410
00:25:49,394 --> 00:25:52,557
I want you to have it.
I mean that.
411
00:25:55,067 --> 00:25:56,694
You cut yourself shaving, huh?
412
00:25:56,768 --> 00:26:02,502
No. I dropped a glass in the sink
yesterday and a piece flew up, cut me.
413
00:26:02,574 --> 00:26:03,973
Ouch!
414
00:26:06,345 --> 00:26:07,573
Well,
415
00:26:11,083 --> 00:26:13,210
thanks for the pen.
416
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,495
You'll have to send it
back to him. Yeah, I know.
417
00:26:24,563 --> 00:26:26,861
I just wanted to see how much
he enjoyed giving it away.
418
00:26:26,932 --> 00:26:28,524
Didn't look like
he enjoyed it at all.
419
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,465
It's as if he
was compelled.
420
00:26:30,936 --> 00:26:36,033
As if giving was serious
business. Deadly serious.
421
00:26:38,477 --> 00:26:43,039
I wonder how offended he would be if
he knew his gift was being squandered.
422
00:26:46,551 --> 00:26:48,485
I don't know
much about her transplant.
423
00:26:48,553 --> 00:26:50,350
I met her a couple of months after.
424
00:26:50,422 --> 00:26:54,188
But you knew somebody was covering
her bills for immunosuppressive drugs?
425
00:26:54,259 --> 00:26:57,786
Yeah, sure, a foundation.
The Comte Foundation.
426
00:26:57,863 --> 00:26:59,888
The bills used to
go directly to them.
427
00:27:01,266 --> 00:27:02,528
Used to?
428
00:27:03,035 --> 00:27:05,265
The foundation stopped
paying the bills.
429
00:27:05,337 --> 00:27:07,134
The hospital started sending them to us.
430
00:27:07,239 --> 00:27:08,729
When did this happen?
431
00:27:08,807 --> 00:27:11,139
Right after Jake was born.
432
00:27:11,209 --> 00:27:14,440
Vanessa didn't tell her mother.
She didn't want her worrying.
433
00:27:14,513 --> 00:27:17,107
Vanessa was on maternity
leave from Social Services.
434
00:27:17,182 --> 00:27:19,309
Three months was when she
had to go back to work?
435
00:27:19,384 --> 00:27:22,444
Yes, but she decided not to.
436
00:27:22,521 --> 00:27:23,647
Her mother said that
437
00:27:23,722 --> 00:27:26,190
Vanessa was taking law
classes before Jake came along.
438
00:27:26,258 --> 00:27:27,589
Did she drop out?
439
00:27:27,659 --> 00:27:29,524
Last fall.
440
00:27:29,795 --> 00:27:32,423
Last fall.
Six months ago?
441
00:27:32,497 --> 00:27:35,466
She decided to take
jewelry classes instead.
442
00:27:35,534 --> 00:27:40,665
Daddy!
Come here, Daddy!
443
00:27:41,707 --> 00:27:45,768
Six months ago. That's when
Myers got Aparicio's file.
444
00:27:47,279 --> 00:27:49,804
Wainwright soured on Vanessa?
445
00:27:50,315 --> 00:27:53,443
He might've promised Aparicio a
new lung in return for shooting her.
446
00:27:53,518 --> 00:27:56,749
And Aparicio was stupid
enough to believe him.
447
00:27:58,623 --> 00:28:03,856
Wainwright. He might've given
him a good reason to believe.
448
00:28:03,929 --> 00:28:07,660
You know, he was scratching his
side back and forth along a line.
449
00:28:07,733 --> 00:28:11,100
And when an incision heals
and the skin knits together,
450
00:28:11,169 --> 00:28:12,568
it itches.
451
00:28:14,773 --> 00:28:17,936
Wainwright had access to
Sarah Edgars' medical file.
452
00:28:18,010 --> 00:28:20,035
He could've found out
her dialysis schedule.
453
00:28:20,112 --> 00:28:24,014
He might've been the one who called
Aparicio from the dialysis floor.
454
00:28:24,082 --> 00:28:26,346
Maybe Wainwright's a little
intense in the charity department,
455
00:28:26,418 --> 00:28:28,386
but two murders over a kidney?
456
00:28:28,453 --> 00:28:32,446
Well, it's not about
a kidney, or even charity.
457
00:28:32,524 --> 00:28:35,925
The ME tracked Dr. Myers'
surgeries for the last three years.
458
00:28:35,994 --> 00:28:38,963
This lists the types of surgeries,
but not the patients' names.
459
00:28:39,031 --> 00:28:40,896
The good doctor likes
to keep his hands wet.
460
00:28:40,966 --> 00:28:44,595
Three years ago, he harvested
a kidney from a male patient,
461
00:28:44,669 --> 00:28:46,227
age 41,
B- negative blood.
462
00:28:46,304 --> 00:28:47,498
That would be Wainwright.
463
00:28:47,572 --> 00:28:49,904
A year later, male patient,
42, B-negative blood.
464
00:28:49,975 --> 00:28:52,170
This time, Myers assisted
on a bone marrow transplant.
465
00:28:52,244 --> 00:28:54,644
Wainwright again.
Then, last September,
466
00:28:54,713 --> 00:28:57,011
male patient, 43,
B- negative blood.
467
00:28:57,082 --> 00:29:00,279
Myers harvested half
a liver for a transplant.
468
00:29:00,352 --> 00:29:02,616
He's giving himself
away, piece by piece.
469
00:29:02,687 --> 00:29:04,917
To people who he thinks
will save the world.
470
00:29:04,990 --> 00:29:07,754
I guess stay-at-home
moms don't count.
471
00:29:09,127 --> 00:29:11,789
Princeton's a very
good school, James.
472
00:29:11,863 --> 00:29:15,355
But an education's only as
good as what you do with it.
473
00:29:15,967 --> 00:29:17,229
I know what you mean, sir.
474
00:29:21,139 --> 00:29:23,903
What's going to happen to Building
Blocks while you're at Princeton?
475
00:29:23,975 --> 00:29:25,567
Oh, this is the best part.
476
00:29:25,644 --> 00:29:29,011
I talked them into hitting up their
alumni for a grant to start production.
477
00:29:31,249 --> 00:29:33,479
Well, you're off to
a good start, James.
478
00:29:34,753 --> 00:29:37,881
Dr. Myers'll be in touch with your
parents by the end of the week.
479
00:29:37,956 --> 00:29:39,082
They really wanted to meet you, sir.
480
00:29:39,157 --> 00:29:41,284
No, no, no.
That's not necessary.
481
00:29:41,359 --> 00:29:44,624
But you understand, James,
that once you've said yes,
482
00:29:44,696 --> 00:29:47,927
all your plans, all the
people who depend on you,
483
00:29:49,601 --> 00:29:51,626
you can't disappoint them.
484
00:29:51,703 --> 00:29:53,762
No, sir,
I won't let you down.
485
00:29:57,809 --> 00:29:59,470
Thanks for coming.
486
00:30:00,645 --> 00:30:02,408
Thank you.
487
00:30:03,348 --> 00:30:04,508
Thank you so much.
488
00:30:12,023 --> 00:30:14,116
Wainwright
made over 30 million
489
00:30:14,192 --> 00:30:16,490
brokering air rights
to real estate developers.
490
00:30:16,561 --> 00:30:20,554
Then, five years ago, he gave it
all away to hospitals, schools.
491
00:30:20,632 --> 00:30:24,363
He left just enough to cover follow-up
care for his transplant recipients.
492
00:30:24,436 --> 00:30:25,869
Extreme altruism.
493
00:30:25,937 --> 00:30:27,928
I guess it was only a matter of time.
494
00:30:28,006 --> 00:30:29,598
Well, there's no joy
in it. It's compulsive.
495
00:30:29,674 --> 00:30:31,972
It satisfies
some deep-seated need.
496
00:30:32,043 --> 00:30:35,376
Unbalanced as he may be,
it's not direct evidence
497
00:30:35,447 --> 00:30:37,244
that he was responsible
for either murder.
498
00:30:37,315 --> 00:30:40,751
There might be evidence in his
closet. The force of the gunshot
499
00:30:40,819 --> 00:30:44,516
would've blown the back of Aparicio's
head onto Wainwright's clothes.
500
00:30:44,589 --> 00:30:46,921
I don't see probable cause for a search.
501
00:30:46,992 --> 00:30:49,984
Was he seen near
Mr. Aparicio's home?
502
00:30:50,061 --> 00:30:53,827
No. But a witness puts him at the
offices of Sarah Edgars' asthma project
503
00:30:53,899 --> 00:30:55,298
three days after her
transplant.
504
00:30:55,367 --> 00:30:58,859
And two days before he told us
he had trouble remembering her.
505
00:30:59,304 --> 00:31:01,431
That should satisfy a judge.
506
00:31:03,508 --> 00:31:05,703
It's a chilling proposition.
507
00:31:05,944 --> 00:31:07,377
By accepting
an organ donation,
508
00:31:07,445 --> 00:31:10,243
you take on an obligation to live right.
509
00:31:10,315 --> 00:31:11,942
Or else.
510
00:31:14,886 --> 00:31:18,913
My husband's a highly moral
man who acts on his convictions.
511
00:31:18,990 --> 00:31:22,084
You and your husband are on
the same page? Completely.
512
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,856
Even about sending your
kids to public school?
513
00:31:24,930 --> 00:31:27,558
We don't want them growing
up in an elitist environment.
514
00:31:27,632 --> 00:31:29,691
My brother's a fireman,
his wife's a nurse,
515
00:31:29,768 --> 00:31:33,704
but they pinch pennies to send their kid
to private school. They think it's worth it.
516
00:31:33,772 --> 00:31:37,401
Perhaps it is, if they
can afford it. We can't.
517
00:31:41,613 --> 00:31:42,773
Looks like you
hit a sore spot.
518
00:31:42,847 --> 00:31:44,940
There's plenty
more to hit. Look.
519
00:31:45,517 --> 00:31:47,542
No woman with
a 40- slot shoe rack
520
00:31:47,619 --> 00:31:50,884
willingly walks around in
one pair of crappy shoes.
521
00:31:54,859 --> 00:31:58,454
I'm surprised you're not more
concerned for your husband.
522
00:31:59,197 --> 00:32:00,926
You should be.
523
00:32:01,233 --> 00:32:03,394
I know Boyce
is no murderer.
524
00:32:05,203 --> 00:32:06,534
Well, I wasn't
thinking about that.
525
00:32:06,605 --> 00:32:08,436
I was thinking
about his health.
526
00:32:08,506 --> 00:32:09,666
You know,
the surgeries.
527
00:32:09,741 --> 00:32:11,641
He's under a
doctor's supervision.
528
00:32:11,710 --> 00:32:13,644
Myers, right?
529
00:32:13,845 --> 00:32:17,110
Ever occur to you that
your husband might be
530
00:32:18,383 --> 00:32:21,147
paying him off to
okay those surgeries?
531
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,750
He's had a psychiatric
evaluation.
532
00:32:24,823 --> 00:32:26,757
I mean, that's standard
for living donors.
533
00:32:26,825 --> 00:32:28,417
I mean, especially someone who just,
534
00:32:29,027 --> 00:32:31,552
you know, out of the blue,
gives up money, a nice home...
535
00:32:31,630 --> 00:32:33,689
It wasn't
out of the blue.
536
00:32:34,099 --> 00:32:36,158
Boyce has always wanted
to help, to do more.
537
00:32:36,234 --> 00:32:38,293
He burns to do more.
538
00:32:38,370 --> 00:32:40,463
"He burns to... " His words?
539
00:32:40,672 --> 00:32:44,199
He says his goal
is moral ecstasy.
540
00:32:44,476 --> 00:32:46,569
Where does he get these
ideas? Maybe from his parents?
541
00:32:46,645 --> 00:32:50,741
We saw the statue of Gandhi
that belonged to his father.
542
00:32:50,815 --> 00:32:52,214
He a big philanthropist?
543
00:32:52,284 --> 00:32:55,048
He's charitable to outsiders.
544
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,917
Not to his family? Not to Boyce?
545
00:32:57,222 --> 00:32:59,622
It's a private matter.
546
00:33:00,458 --> 00:33:05,157
Be careful of your bare feet, 'cause
Boyce said that he broke a glass.
547
00:33:05,230 --> 00:33:06,595
He had a Band-Aid.
548
00:33:06,665 --> 00:33:09,725
He said that it
flew up and cut him.
549
00:33:09,801 --> 00:33:12,895
That was last week.
He said he swept it all up.
550
00:33:18,777 --> 00:33:21,405
He said yesterday.
She said last week.
551
00:33:22,947 --> 00:33:26,508
Last week,
when Aparicio was shot.
552
00:33:28,053 --> 00:33:31,784
The blowback, it would've been
more than brains and blood.
553
00:33:31,856 --> 00:33:33,881
There would've been bone.
554
00:33:34,693 --> 00:33:36,285
This isn't some simple blood test
555
00:33:36,361 --> 00:33:37,953
Mr. Carver's asking for,
Your Honor.
556
00:33:38,029 --> 00:33:39,690
He wants the Court's
permission to dig around
557
00:33:39,764 --> 00:33:41,857
my client's neck
for a piece of bone.
558
00:33:41,933 --> 00:33:43,798
It's highly invasive.
559
00:33:43,868 --> 00:33:47,326
Before we do any digging, Your Honor, we want to x
- ray Mr. Wainwright
560
00:33:47,405 --> 00:33:51,398
to determine that there is a
foreign object embedded in his neck.
561
00:33:51,476 --> 00:33:53,944
I don't see a problem
with an x-ray, Ms. Romero.
562
00:33:54,012 --> 00:33:56,446
We'll save
Mr. Carver the trouble.
563
00:33:57,082 --> 00:33:59,949
As this x-ray shows,
there is an object,
564
00:34:00,018 --> 00:34:03,545
a piece of glass, just as Mr.
Wainwright told the detectives.
565
00:34:03,621 --> 00:34:07,421
Well, I see it. Mr. Carver?
566
00:34:08,226 --> 00:34:10,854
Thank you, Your Honor.
567
00:34:11,730 --> 00:34:13,197
I see an object.
568
00:34:13,264 --> 00:34:15,596
It could be glass,
bone, anything.
569
00:34:15,667 --> 00:34:18,158
Let's get it out and take a look at it.
570
00:34:18,236 --> 00:34:19,533
It's not that simple.
571
00:34:19,604 --> 00:34:22,801
The object has worked its way into
the fascia of the neck structure.
572
00:34:22,874 --> 00:34:25,308
Removing it would require
putting Mr. Wainwright
573
00:34:25,377 --> 00:34:27,242
under
general anesthesia.
574
00:34:27,312 --> 00:34:29,303
As this study shows,
Your Honor,
575
00:34:29,381 --> 00:34:32,612
more people die under general
anesthesia than in car accidents.
576
00:34:32,684 --> 00:34:37,018
Your Honor, Ms. Romero vastly
overstates the risks to her client.
577
00:34:37,088 --> 00:34:38,851
Not from what I'm reading.
578
00:34:39,858 --> 00:34:41,450
You can't even tell
me with any certainty
579
00:34:41,526 --> 00:34:43,426
what Mr. Wainwright has in his neck.
580
00:34:43,962 --> 00:34:46,863
I'm denying your motion,
Mr. Carver.
581
00:34:47,532 --> 00:34:48,863
Let's go.
582
00:34:53,104 --> 00:34:55,766
Jerry, the clerk's
office made mistakes...
583
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,899
I hope you
have a plan B.
584
00:34:57,976 --> 00:35:02,743
The x-ray. It was taken from a side
angle. It featured the left lung.
585
00:35:02,814 --> 00:35:05,180
I noticed that the name of
the doctor was blacked out.
586
00:35:05,250 --> 00:35:07,241
Ten to one, it's Myers.
587
00:35:07,318 --> 00:35:09,343
Wainwright's planning
another donation?
588
00:35:09,421 --> 00:35:11,514
He's the gift that just keeps giving.
589
00:35:14,692 --> 00:35:17,092
Where did you get this information?
It's supposed to be confidential.
590
00:35:17,162 --> 00:35:19,528
No confidentiality has been broken.
591
00:35:19,597 --> 00:35:24,466
But we learned that Dr. Myers has a
lung transplant scheduled next month
592
00:35:24,536 --> 00:35:27,334
for a 17-year-old male
with B-negative blood.
593
00:35:27,405 --> 00:35:31,967
Now, that fits the profile of James that
you posted on the Transplant Network.
594
00:35:32,043 --> 00:35:34,341
We didn't do anything wrong.
We haven't broken any laws.
595
00:35:34,412 --> 00:35:37,142
We're just trying to save our
son's life. He has cystic fibrosis.
596
00:35:39,184 --> 00:35:41,914
What do you know about the donor?
597
00:35:41,986 --> 00:35:45,717
Nothing. It's an anonymous
gift from a living person.
598
00:35:45,790 --> 00:35:48,020
A good person who
wants to help James.
599
00:35:48,092 --> 00:35:52,426
But you've met this
good person, haven't you?
600
00:35:56,034 --> 00:35:57,558
Met him, James?
601
00:35:59,637 --> 00:36:00,661
He's just this cool guy.
602
00:36:00,738 --> 00:36:03,263
He wants me to be healthy
and reach my goals.
603
00:36:03,341 --> 00:36:05,002
He's giving Jamie
a great gift.
604
00:36:05,076 --> 00:36:08,705
His gifts come with
big strings attached.
605
00:36:09,848 --> 00:36:14,148
Three years ago, he donated
a kidney to this woman.
606
00:36:14,586 --> 00:36:17,851
She was planning a career
defending children's rights.
607
00:36:17,922 --> 00:36:22,188
And when she changed her mind, he
stopped paying her medical bills.
608
00:36:22,260 --> 00:36:26,890
And we believe
he had her killed.
609
00:36:29,467 --> 00:36:33,062
What do you expect us to do
about it? Even if it's true?
610
00:36:33,137 --> 00:36:35,537
He's going to
save our son's life.
611
00:36:35,607 --> 00:36:37,700
You're not going to stop him, are you?
612
00:36:39,344 --> 00:36:43,246
"Building Blocks. "
Is this your project?
613
00:36:44,916 --> 00:36:46,281
It's a school-in-a-box.
614
00:36:46,351 --> 00:36:48,945
A whole kit for a
classroom for 30 kids
615
00:36:49,020 --> 00:36:52,615
with walls, chairs, and desks,
all made out of hardened cardboard.
616
00:36:52,690 --> 00:36:54,681
You designed it?
Yes.
617
00:36:54,759 --> 00:36:58,786
It's for natural disaster
areas, war zones, refugee camps.
618
00:36:58,863 --> 00:37:01,388
I already built a prototype,
and next year at Princeton,
619
00:37:01,466 --> 00:37:04,333
we'll design a plant
to mass produce them.
620
00:37:09,674 --> 00:37:14,668
Well, you just, you know,
go ahead with your plans.
621
00:37:15,346 --> 00:37:20,909
And we'll talk to the D.A.,
and we won't stop your surgery.
622
00:37:23,988 --> 00:37:27,082
Since Mr. Wainwright will
already be under anesthesia
623
00:37:27,158 --> 00:37:30,127
when he donates a lobe
of his lung next month,
624
00:37:30,194 --> 00:37:34,597
having the State's doctor remove
the object from his neck at that time
625
00:37:34,666 --> 00:37:37,464
won't pose any
additional risk to him.
626
00:37:38,369 --> 00:37:39,631
Is this true,
Mr. Wainwright?
627
00:37:39,704 --> 00:37:42,969
Are you donating a part of
your lung to this young man?
628
00:37:43,041 --> 00:37:47,978
Yes, Your Honor. James Raphael has an
important contribution to make to society,
629
00:37:48,046 --> 00:37:51,812
and he won't have the chance to
make it unless he gets this gift.
630
00:37:51,883 --> 00:37:52,941
Your Honor, if I may...
631
00:37:53,017 --> 00:37:54,609
Your client said
all I need to hear.
632
00:37:54,686 --> 00:37:57,052
I'm granting Mr. Carver's motion.
633
00:37:57,121 --> 00:37:59,180
When Mr. Wainwright
undergoes lung surgery,
634
00:37:59,257 --> 00:38:01,851
the State will be allowed to
remove the object from his neck.
635
00:38:01,926 --> 00:38:05,726
Then, Your Honor, my client chooses
not to participate in the transplant.
636
00:38:05,797 --> 00:38:06,923
Your Honor...
637
00:38:06,998 --> 00:38:09,057
It's elective surgery. He
can't be compelled to do it.
638
00:38:09,133 --> 00:38:10,691
She's correct, Mr. Carver.
639
00:38:10,768 --> 00:38:14,397
Unless Mr. Wainwright voluntarily
puts himself under anesthesia,
640
00:38:14,472 --> 00:38:18,408
your doctor can't go near
him. Now I'm due back in court.
641
00:38:18,876 --> 00:38:23,210
Mr. Wainwright, if you're thinking of
having surgery in another state, be advised
642
00:38:23,281 --> 00:38:25,772
I'll lodge this order
in that jurisdiction
643
00:38:25,850 --> 00:38:28,819
where our doctor will be in the
operating room waiting for you.
644
00:38:28,886 --> 00:38:31,912
Don't get your hopes up, Mr. Carver.
There'll be no more surgeries.
645
00:38:31,990 --> 00:38:34,982
Well, it sounds like James
Raphael's out of luck.
646
00:38:35,059 --> 00:38:36,617
How can you people do this
to him?
647
00:38:36,694 --> 00:38:38,286
You're the
one doing it to him.
648
00:38:38,363 --> 00:38:41,059
You're the one taking
yourself out of the donor game.
649
00:38:41,132 --> 00:38:42,599
Spare him the guilt trip,
Detective.
650
00:38:42,667 --> 00:38:45,568
This is my call. He's
following my advice.
651
00:38:45,637 --> 00:38:49,698
She has no idea what
she's condemning you to.
652
00:38:49,774 --> 00:38:53,608
I know how much you
burn to do more, to give.
653
00:38:53,811 --> 00:38:56,439
He'll find other outlets
for his generosity.
654
00:38:56,514 --> 00:39:00,177
He's already run through the other
options, all 30 million bucks.
655
00:39:00,652 --> 00:39:04,486
Giving away that money was the
easiest thing in the world for Boyce.
656
00:39:04,789 --> 00:39:06,848
Money made how?
657
00:39:07,191 --> 00:39:11,958
By buying and selling what?
The air above our heads,
658
00:39:12,363 --> 00:39:16,424
so some egomaniac can build
some 90-story skyscraper
659
00:39:16,501 --> 00:39:17,832
and put his name on it.
660
00:39:19,270 --> 00:39:23,764
It was a parasitical business.
661
00:39:23,841 --> 00:39:25,672
"Parasitical. "
662
00:39:25,743 --> 00:39:27,040
Is that a word that your
663
00:39:27,111 --> 00:39:30,046
philanthropic parents
used to ridicule you?
664
00:39:30,615 --> 00:39:32,879
We read up
on your mom and dad.
665
00:39:32,950 --> 00:39:34,008
They've given away
a fortune.
666
00:39:34,085 --> 00:39:36,576
Not just in money,
but in time.
667
00:39:36,654 --> 00:39:40,021
Their whole lives are
dedicated to public service.
668
00:39:40,358 --> 00:39:45,159
My father was a trust fund kid.
What he gave cost him nothing.
669
00:39:45,229 --> 00:39:48,721
You mean, in his heart,
he was stingy?
670
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:53,136
Stingy with his love?
671
00:39:53,905 --> 00:39:56,635
Stingy with his praise
for you?
672
00:39:56,708 --> 00:39:58,107
But you got one up on him.
673
00:39:58,776 --> 00:40:01,574
I mean, he could dismiss
your business achievements,
674
00:40:01,646 --> 00:40:03,273
but not your altruism.
675
00:40:03,347 --> 00:40:06,316
What I do is so far
beyond his comprehension.
676
00:40:06,384 --> 00:40:10,582
Whatever your reasons for parceling
yourself out to save humanity,
677
00:40:10,655 --> 00:40:12,782
it's over now,
thanks to your attorney.
678
00:40:12,857 --> 00:40:15,052
I'm just protecting
his interests.
679
00:40:15,126 --> 00:40:17,253
Where does that
leave you, Boyce?
680
00:40:17,328 --> 00:40:20,456
Stalled on the road of moral ecstasy.
681
00:40:20,898 --> 00:40:24,095
Where does it leave James
Raphael and anybody else
682
00:40:24,168 --> 00:40:26,329
whose lives you could
save with your gifts?
683
00:40:26,871 --> 00:40:31,001
Now, are you sacrificing their
lives to stay out of prison?
684
00:40:31,476 --> 00:40:33,410
Doesn't that
make you a murderer?
685
00:40:33,478 --> 00:40:34,945
That makes
him no such thing.
686
00:40:35,012 --> 00:40:36,445
That's what he told us.
687
00:40:36,514 --> 00:40:40,109
"Denying somebody an organ
is tantamount to murder. "
688
00:40:40,184 --> 00:40:44,712
Right, Boyce? You know,
I read that 17 people,
689
00:40:44,789 --> 00:40:47,587
they die every day
waiting for an organ.
690
00:40:48,426 --> 00:40:53,386
And here you are with plenty of organs
left. I mean, you have the two lobes
691
00:40:53,464 --> 00:40:56,729
from that lung. And your
pancreas, part of your intestine,
692
00:40:56,801 --> 00:40:59,634
even more bone marrow. I mean,
you could give your other kidney.
693
00:40:59,704 --> 00:41:01,365
I mean, why not? You
could live off of dialysis.
694
00:41:01,439 --> 00:41:03,407
Boyce, we're leaving.
695
00:41:07,845 --> 00:41:10,473
That's six more people
you'll murder.
696
00:41:10,548 --> 00:41:13,540
Six more Albert Schweitzers,
six more Nelson Mandelas,
697
00:41:13,618 --> 00:41:16,143
six more Harriet Tubmans.
698
00:41:17,622 --> 00:41:21,114
You'd squander their lives
for your own personal freedom.
699
00:41:21,192 --> 00:41:23,387
I mean, what's more selfish
than your own personal freedom?
700
00:41:25,763 --> 00:41:29,460
I'm not selfish.
I'm a better person than that.
701
00:41:30,334 --> 00:41:34,293
Yeah. Yes, you need to
give, to give of yourself.
702
00:41:34,372 --> 00:41:40,436
You're insatiable. I know that about
you. You give life so you can live.
703
00:41:41,579 --> 00:41:43,103
Yes, that's
what it's like.
704
00:41:43,181 --> 00:41:46,480
So, Boyce, before you
make any more gifts,
705
00:41:46,551 --> 00:41:49,782
there's one gift you're
going to have to make.
706
00:41:50,521 --> 00:41:53,820
Give up your freedom.
Confess to your crimes.
707
00:41:53,891 --> 00:41:55,290
He has nothing to confess.
708
00:41:55,359 --> 00:41:58,590
Mr. Wainwright, as a
condition of a plea bargain,
709
00:41:58,663 --> 00:42:03,259
you'll be allowed to make your organ
donations while serving your sentence.
710
00:42:11,342 --> 00:42:13,833
That's right.
Think about it, Boyce.
711
00:42:13,911 --> 00:42:19,781
No matter the bad you've done, those
good deeds, they'll be something
712
00:42:20,852 --> 00:42:25,414
no one, not even your father,
can take away from you.
713
00:42:35,533 --> 00:42:37,364
All right, I'll tell you.
Boyce, no.
714
00:42:37,435 --> 00:42:42,031
I killed Jesse Aparicio. I promised
him my lung for shooting Vanessa.
715
00:42:43,975 --> 00:42:46,535
She made a commitment.
She should've stuck to it.
716
00:42:46,611 --> 00:42:50,377
I didn't give her my kidney so that
she could marry and make babies.
717
00:42:50,448 --> 00:42:52,211
She would've died three years
ago if it weren't for me.
718
00:42:52,283 --> 00:42:54,251
And she's dead now because of you.
719
00:42:54,318 --> 00:42:57,446
You're under arrest
for murder, Mr. Wainwright.
720
00:43:08,232 --> 00:43:12,498
He gives new meaning to
"giving until it hurts. "
721
00:43:14,772 --> 00:43:17,206
He gives
because he hurts.
