Hey, Slate.
16
00:01:20,139 --> 00:01:21,729
What are you doing Saturday?
17
00:01:21,807 --> 00:01:23,990
Driving down to Atlantic City
to see some friends.
18
00:01:24,067 --> 00:01:26,418
You're dating someone.
- Jessica?
19
00:01:26,495 --> 00:01:29,830
No, it's, it's not really
a defined thing.
20
00:01:29,906 --> 00:01:32,666
Oh, yeah?
- Anyway, it wouldn't be a date.
21
00:01:32,742 --> 00:01:35,243
Just trying to help.
22
00:01:35,321 --> 00:01:37,988
Well, how's that?
- I see her in there.
23
00:01:37,990 --> 00:01:40,340
Your inner gambler
trying to get out.
24
00:01:40,492 --> 00:01:42,750
Oh, worry not, my lady,
I'm here to set her free.
25
00:01:42,828 --> 00:01:46,087
Well, what about
my outer nursing grad
26
00:01:46,165 --> 00:01:47,755
with a job interview on Monday?
27
00:01:47,775 --> 00:01:50,925
What about her? She's got
all day Sunday to rest up.
28
00:01:51,003 --> 00:01:53,612
I don't know.
- Am I hearing a yes?
29
00:01:53,763 --> 00:01:55,172
You're hearing
I gotta think about it.
30
00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:57,007
Mm, that's not what I'm hearing.
31
00:01:57,025 --> 00:01:59,934
I'm hearing,
"I can't wait, Bill.
32
00:02:00,012 --> 00:02:01,453
What time should I be ready?"

00:02:24,628 --> 00:02:25,886
[Melanie] I think
I got this one.
36
00:02:25,962 --> 00:02:27,813
Looking good.
- Looking good.
37
00:02:30,058 --> 00:02:31,275
No!
38
00:02:32,802 --> 00:02:36,304
Yeah. Well, that's it for me.
39
00:02:36,382 --> 00:02:40,217
Like hell it is.
You are my rabbit's foot.
40
00:02:40,235 --> 00:02:42,235
It's play money.
Don't worry about it.
41
00:02:42,312 --> 00:02:44,496
Just remember, it's 21 or under.
42
00:02:44,573 --> 00:02:47,391
If it was over,
you would be killin' it.
43

Okay, okay.
44
00:02:52,414 --> 00:02:53,797
It's play money, right?
45
00:02:56,677 --> 00:02:59,178
[Melanie] Let's play.
Watch me win now.
46
00:03:06,912 --> 00:03:09,504
[Bill] This is a nice house.
You got roommates?
47
00:03:09,581 --> 00:03:13,433
I do, my mom and my step-dad.
- I see.
48
00:03:13,510 --> 00:03:17,437
Mm. I had way too much to drink.
49
00:03:17,514 --> 00:03:19,681
You had fun is what you had.
50
00:03:19,758 --> 00:03:23,017
That is true. Thank you.
51
00:03:23,095 --> 00:03:24,778
Your parents still up?
52
00:03:24,930 --> 00:03:27,931
You are not getting lucky
tonight, young man.
53
00:03:27,933 --> 00:03:30,617
Well, it didn't even occur
to me.
54
00:03:30,694 --> 00:03:32,502
I don't believe you.
55
00:03:34,215 --> 00:03:35,505
But okay.
56
00:03:39,778 --> 00:03:41,887
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
57
00:03:48,211 --> 00:03:50,062
Can I have my jacket back,
please?
58
00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:57,569
Yes, you can.
59
00:03:58,572 --> 00:04:00,722
Maybe next time.
60
00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:02,557
Next time what?

00:04:02,576 --> 00:04:05,410
[instrumental music]
62
00:04:09,917 --> 00:04:11,583
You'll get lucky.
63
00:04:16,573 --> 00:04:18,507
And that's your fish...
64
00:04:20,168 --> 00:04:21,760
I'll check on you in a minute.
65
00:04:24,156 --> 00:04:26,581
Oh. Well, how was Atlantic City?
Tell me.
66
00:04:26,658 --> 00:04:28,842
Details, details, please.
67
00:04:28,994 --> 00:04:30,936
He's fun.
68
00:04:31,013 --> 00:04:34,255
Didn't treat me like some
delicate flower, which I like.
69
00:04:34,333 --> 00:04:37,000
He's got an ex-wife,
but she's not in the picture.
70
00:04:37,002 --> 00:04:38,835
Okay, and what about
the girlfriend?
71
00:04:38,837 --> 00:04:40,445
She's in California
for a few weeks.
72
00:04:40,522 --> 00:04:43,264
Oh, so he's cheating on her.
- Not yet, he's not.
73
00:04:43,342 --> 00:04:45,284
[chuckles]
Not yet with you.
74
00:04:51,107 --> 00:04:53,350
Right.
- Here we go again.
75
00:04:53,352 --> 00:04:55,109
Ah, where's my medium-rare
surf 'n' turf?
76
00:04:55,129 --> 00:04:56,611
What is that supposed to mean?
- It's supposed to mean...
77
00:04:56,688 --> 00:04:58,279
That I've known you since
fifth grade, and we both
78
00:04:58,357 --> 00:05:00,299
know you don't know
how to pick 'em.
79
00:05:00,375 --> 00:05:04,528
Look, just go slow, okay?
80
00:05:04,530 --> 00:05:06,096
Deserve someone
who treats you well.
81
00:05:09,977 --> 00:05:12,978
[upbeat music]
82
00:05:27,494 --> 00:05:28,885
[Bill] I know it's only been
a few weeks,
83
00:05:28,904 --> 00:05:30,495
but I gotta show you off.
84
00:05:33,075 --> 00:05:35,167
Don't be nervous,
they're only like family to me,
85
00:05:35,318 --> 00:05:37,169
so the stakes
couldn't be higher.
86

[indistinct pop song]
87
00:05:41,917 --> 00:05:46,069
There he is, ladies
and gentlemen, late as usual.
88
00:05:46,071 --> 00:05:47,921
All the way from Woodbridge,
New Jersey,
89
00:05:47,997 --> 00:05:50,240
Third Petty Officer McGuire.
90
00:05:50,242 --> 00:05:54,168
Missed you, bro.
- And his stunning plus one!
91
00:05:54,246 --> 00:05:56,246
My God! She's beautiful, Bill!
92
00:05:56,264 --> 00:05:59,249
Marry her fast
before she spooks.
93
00:05:59,251 --> 00:06:01,101
Hi, I'm Sue.
94
00:06:01,253 --> 00:06:03,695
Look at you.
Bill warned you about me, right?
95
00:06:03,772 --> 00:06:07,014
Lion's den, I told her.
- Oh, stop. No, I'm a pussycat.
96
00:06:07,092 --> 00:06:08,825
Let's get you a drink.
97
00:06:10,687 --> 00:06:13,622
[song continues]
98
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:22,196
You're a nurse, right?
- Uh, yeah, I just got my degree.
99
00:06:22,274 --> 00:06:26,033
I'm working at a fertility
clinic up in Woodbridge.
100
00:06:26,111 --> 00:06:28,612
Right on. How's that going?
- Oh, I love it so far.
101
00:06:28,630 --> 00:06:31,706
Our work
brings a lot of joy to people.
102
00:06:31,783 --> 00:06:34,117
Not every time, though?
- No.
103
00:06:34,136 --> 00:06:36,469
But for most couples, you know,
104
00:06:36,546 --> 00:06:38,730
with all the options
that are out there right now,
105
00:06:38,882 --> 00:06:40,640
where there's a will,
there's a way.
106
00:06:40,792 --> 00:06:42,792
But I should tell you about
the new recommendation
107
00:06:42,811 --> 00:06:44,051
for couples trying to conceive
108
00:06:44,129 --> 00:06:45,720
based
on the latest medical data.
109
00:06:45,797 --> 00:06:47,155
Yeah, tell me.
110
00:06:48,909 --> 00:06:50,909
Have a lot of sex.
111
00:06:54,656 --> 00:06:56,081
Cheers to that.
- Yeah.
112
00:06:58,234 --> 00:07:01,086
[song continues]
113
00:07:07,335 --> 00:07:10,429
Mm... This is your happy place,
isn't it?
114
00:07:12,099 --> 00:07:13,765
I wanna end up here.
115
00:07:15,102 --> 00:07:16,993
Virginia Beach is growing.
116
00:07:16,995 --> 00:07:19,938
It's gonna be a demand
for system engineers.
117
00:07:20,015 --> 00:07:21,606
Well, you should do it.
118
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:25,669
Someday.
119
00:07:25,671 --> 00:07:28,113
Till then I just get down here
as much as I can.
120
00:07:29,766 --> 00:07:32,934
Too bad it's a seven-hour drive.
121
00:07:33,011 --> 00:07:35,195
Well, it depends who's with me.
122
00:07:35,271 --> 00:07:38,198

[instrumental music]

00:07:43,855 --> 00:07:46,381
[woman laughing]
- They can see us.
125
00:07:53,381 --> 00:07:55,807
Better?
- Much.
126
00:07:58,645 --> 00:08:01,646
[music continues]
127
00:08:24,153 --> 00:08:28,064
So, I decided.
128
00:08:28,066 --> 00:08:30,083
I'm movin' out
of my parents' place.
129
00:08:30,235 --> 00:08:33,178
Really? Finally! This is huge.
- I know, right?
130
00:08:33,329 --> 00:08:36,422
And I may have found
a roommate already.
131
00:08:36,575 --> 00:08:37,999
[Selene] Yeah?
132
00:08:38,076 --> 00:08:40,668
Bill McGuire.
- Ugh, seriously?
133
00:08:40,746 --> 00:08:42,687
I know it's fast--
- Oh, yeah, no kidding.
134
00:08:42,764 --> 00:08:45,190
But we spent the whole drive
back from Virginia talking
135
00:08:45,267 --> 00:08:48,026
about it and we're both
really ready to explore this.
136
00:08:48,103 --> 00:08:49,586
Okay, but living together?
137
00:08:49,604 --> 00:08:51,029
I mean, how well
do you even know him?
138
00:08:51,106 --> 00:08:52,939
I'm a big girl.
- Oh.
139
00:08:53,091 --> 00:08:56,017
And, yeah, maybe he's got
some rough edges,
140
00:08:56,094 --> 00:08:58,261
but nothing that I can't fix.
141
00:08:58,263 --> 00:09:01,264
Okay, and when has that
ever worked out?
142
00:09:01,266 --> 00:09:02,857
You know,
I should probably warn him.
143
00:09:02,934 --> 00:09:04,434
Remember what happened
with Tony Parisi
144
00:09:04,436 --> 00:09:06,378
and that girl
from Staten Island? Ah-ah-ah!
145
00:09:06,454 --> 00:09:08,362
You shoved him
outside the door butt-naked
146
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:09,939
and you locked the door
behind him.
147
00:09:09,941 --> 00:09:12,217
He deserved it.
- You sent him to the hospital.
148
00:09:12,294 --> 00:09:15,554
The temperature
sent him to the hospital.
149
00:09:15,630 --> 00:09:17,371
How was I supposed to know
it was five below zero?
150
00:09:17,391 --> 00:09:18,848
Oh, honey, you knew.
151
00:09:20,969 --> 00:09:22,302
You're not gonna tell
these stories when
152
00:09:22,378 --> 00:09:24,120
you're my maid of honor,
are you?
153
00:09:24,139 --> 00:09:26,547
Shut up. You're joking, right?
154
00:09:26,625 --> 00:09:28,066
Are you engaged
and you didn't tell me?
155
00:09:28,143 --> 00:09:30,476
Are you serious, Mel?
- Well... No, I'm joking!
156
00:09:30,629 --> 00:09:33,220
Well, why would you do that
to me, Mel? Come on!
157
00:09:33,298 --> 00:09:34,906
But I'm telling you right now...
158
00:09:35,892 --> 00:09:38,059
it's gonna be him.
159
00:09:38,136 --> 00:09:39,578
You really like him, don't you?
160
00:09:41,898 --> 00:09:43,248
I do.
161
00:09:45,586 --> 00:09:47,327
[Selene] Oh, man!
162
00:09:47,403 --> 00:09:50,338
[instrumental music]
163
00:09:56,763 --> 00:09:58,838
How much was that?
164
00:09:58,915 --> 00:10:00,840
Twenty-five hundred.
165
00:10:00,917 --> 00:10:04,769
Which I'm about to win back.
- Can't you win it back tomorrow?
166
00:10:04,846 --> 00:10:07,163
Twenty more minutes, baby.
167
00:10:07,165 --> 00:10:10,758
Hey, go on up to the room.
I'll be there soon.
168
00:10:10,836 --> 00:10:12,027
Okay?
169
00:10:20,603 --> 00:10:23,538
[crowd cheering]

00:10:35,636 --> 00:10:37,802
[dealer] All right,
good luck, everyone.
172

[Bill grunting]
173
00:11:01,477 --> 00:11:03,662
What time did you get in
last night?
174
00:11:03,738 --> 00:11:07,481
I don't know. 3:00, 4:00.
175
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,484
I got pulled
into this serious game of poker.
176
00:11:10,562 --> 00:11:13,630
I missed you.
- Well, you got me now.
177
00:11:15,175 --> 00:11:16,174
[knocking on door]
178
00:11:16,251 --> 00:11:18,176
Mm.
- Mm.
179
00:11:37,605 --> 00:11:39,589
Thank you, sir.
180
00:11:39,591 --> 00:11:42,442
Wow!
- Who's hungry?
181
00:11:42,518 --> 00:11:45,611
Oh, my God. Yes, please.
182
00:11:45,764 --> 00:11:47,205
[locker beeping]
183
00:11:55,273 --> 00:11:58,866
So I could not crack this player
last night, I thought
184
00:11:58,885 --> 00:12:01,553
I had his tell, but then
he beat me six hands straight.
185
00:12:01,629 --> 00:12:03,555
His tell?
- Yeah.
186
00:12:03,631 --> 00:12:05,706
Something somebody does
that tells you they're bluffing.
187
00:12:05,784 --> 00:12:08,451
So maybe he rubs his nose,
188
00:12:08,453 --> 00:12:10,470
maybe he holds his cards
a certain way.
189
00:12:10,546 --> 00:12:12,121
It could be anything.
190
00:12:12,123 --> 00:12:14,399
Well, this guy kept rubbin'
his sunglasses.
191
00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:16,901
Turns out
they were just fogging up.
192
00:12:20,982 --> 00:12:23,575
To another memorable evening.
193
00:12:23,726 --> 00:12:25,410
And morning.
194
00:12:27,155 --> 00:12:29,998
[instrumental music]
195
00:12:30,809 --> 00:12:33,400
Mm.
- Mm.
196
00:12:33,478 --> 00:12:34,827
So what's your tell,
Bill McGuire?
197
00:12:34,980 --> 00:12:37,071
Shh! I will never say.
198
00:12:37,148 --> 00:12:40,483
Okay. Well, then what's my tell?
199
00:12:40,485 --> 00:12:43,503
Easy. Your smile. There it is.
- My smile?
200
00:12:43,655 --> 00:12:46,413
Right there. A thousand watts
of blinding light.
201
00:12:46,433 --> 00:12:49,750
That is so not true. Mm.
- It's the ultimate smokescreen.
202
00:12:49,828 --> 00:12:51,436
You're even using it now.
- Oh, really?
203
00:12:51,513 --> 00:12:53,605
Mm-hmm.
- How is that?
204
00:12:53,681 --> 00:12:56,608
Because you saw me in the mirror
a minute ago,
205
00:12:56,684 --> 00:12:59,611
and now you're trying
desperately not to let on.
206
00:13:01,948 --> 00:13:03,531
It's okay, babe.
207
00:13:10,957 --> 00:13:12,457
[Melanie chuckles]
208
00:13:13,609 --> 00:13:15,043
Melanie Slate...
209

[sighs]
210
00:13:18,206 --> 00:13:19,881
will you marry me?
211
00:13:21,635 --> 00:13:23,635
Yes! Yes!
212
00:13:25,864 --> 00:13:28,473
Oh, my God! Oh, my God,
it's gorgeous.
213
00:13:28,550 --> 00:13:31,959
Can you afford this?
- It's okay, I know a guy.
214
00:13:31,978 --> 00:13:36,130
And look at you. You're worth it
a thousand times over.

[doorbell ringing]
218
00:14:07,163 --> 00:14:08,662
Yeah, can I help you?
- Hi.
219
00:14:08,740 --> 00:14:10,831
I'm Marci Polsky. I...
220
00:14:10,909 --> 00:14:14,018
I was married to Bill McGuire.
- Oh.
221
00:14:14,095 --> 00:14:15,336
I was hoping
we could talk for a minute.
222
00:14:15,413 --> 00:14:18,523
Uh, you couldn't have called
first?
223
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,766
I was afraid
you might tell Bill.
224
00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:23,344
Oh, my God, he lets you
get your nails done?
225
00:14:23,421 --> 00:14:26,680
Um, look, I'm sorry,
but why are you here exactly?
226
00:14:26,758 --> 00:14:30,184
To warn you, like I wish
someone had warned me.
227
00:14:30,261 --> 00:14:32,428
Just two minutes,
woman to woman.
228
00:14:32,430 --> 00:14:35,957
Uh, ex-wife to fiancee,
you mean.
229
00:14:36,618 --> 00:14:37,834
Please?
230
00:14:39,787 --> 00:14:40,962
Yup.
231
00:14:42,549 --> 00:14:45,274
Look, Marci,
what Bill and I have together,
232
00:14:45,293 --> 00:14:47,218
it's not what you guys had.
233
00:14:47,370 --> 00:14:51,114
Not yet. I'm your preview.
- Marci--
234
00:14:51,116 --> 00:14:53,282
He's a serial cheater,
every chance he gets.
235
00:14:53,284 --> 00:14:57,044
He probably cheated on someone
to be with you.
236
00:14:57,122 --> 00:15:00,623
And he disappears. Get ready for
that, for-for weeks, sometimes.
237
00:15:00,625 --> 00:15:01,958
Okay, enough.
You really should leave.
238
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,568
Look, the real reason
I came here is
239
00:15:03,645 --> 00:15:05,719
I know what that man's capable
of, and I couldn't live
240
00:15:05,797 --> 00:15:07,739
with myself
if something happened to you.
241
00:15:10,485 --> 00:15:13,060
He was violent with you?
- Not exactly.
242
00:15:13,138 --> 00:15:15,471
But trust me, he has it in him.
- Not exactly?
243
00:15:15,473 --> 00:15:17,974
The times he wanted to hurt me
are too many to count.
244
00:15:17,976 --> 00:15:20,643
By the end,
I was scared for my safety.
245
00:15:20,662 --> 00:15:22,403
I mean,
you've seen his temper, right?
246
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,088

[dramatic music]
248
00:15:37,771 --> 00:15:39,829
What's goin' on?
What's she doing here?
249
00:15:39,831 --> 00:15:41,998
She just decided to show up.
- Okay, Marci.
250
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,757
This is harassment.
You can't just come over--
251
00:15:43,835 --> 00:15:46,335
I'm talking to her, Billy.
- Not anymore.
252
00:15:46,337 --> 00:15:49,263
We'd like for you to leave.
- Right.
253
00:15:49,340 --> 00:15:51,783
Got it. No good deed.
254
00:15:53,269 --> 00:15:55,602
You'll learn the hard way now.
255
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,372
Good luck to you, really.
256
00:15:59,459 --> 00:16:00,458
[Melanie scoffs]
257
00:16:02,870 --> 00:16:05,296
Feel sorry for her.
258
00:16:05,373 --> 00:16:08,115
She just can't stand the idea
of me being happy.
259
00:16:08,193 --> 00:16:10,784
[scoffs]
- You okay?
260
00:16:10,862 --> 00:16:13,805
Yeah, I mean,
she's lying, right?
261
00:16:15,958 --> 00:16:18,292
How can you even ask me that?
- No, I know.
262
00:16:18,369 --> 00:16:20,553
O-of course,
of course she's lying.
263
00:16:20,705 --> 00:16:24,557
Yeah. She's lying.
- Yeah. I'm sorry. Um..
264
00:16:24,633 --> 00:16:27,318
Just come on inside, okay?
I made dinner.

Okay, impossible. Look at you.
269
00:16:57,684 --> 00:16:59,833
Not so impossible.

[Selene] Oh, my God!
271
00:17:01,837 --> 00:17:04,171
We weren't even trying.
- Oh, my God!
272
00:17:04,249 --> 00:17:07,099
How far along are you?
- Seven weeks.
273
00:17:07,176 --> 00:17:09,009
We weren't gonna be sharing the
news, but I just had to tell ya.
274
00:17:09,087 --> 00:17:10,102
Because I'm the godmother,
right?
275
00:17:10,179 --> 00:17:11,103
Well, you're in the running.
276
00:17:11,180 --> 00:17:12,179
I'm in the running?

Oh, Bill's sisters.
278
00:17:14,350 --> 00:17:16,425
He's lobbying for Cindy.
- [Selene] Oh.
279
00:17:16,427 --> 00:17:18,761
Ahem. The guests are seated.
How much longer?
280
00:17:18,763 --> 00:17:21,539
Ugh! Speak of the devil.
Uh, five minutes.
281
00:17:24,711 --> 00:17:26,193
Yeah, well, he can lobby,
but I'm not going down
282
00:17:26,271 --> 00:17:28,362
without a fight.
283
00:17:28,439 --> 00:17:32,366
Oh! Babe, look at you.

Getting married,
a baby on the way.
285
00:17:35,630 --> 00:17:38,705
Okay, well, you really just hit
that light-speed button. Hm?
286
00:17:38,783 --> 00:17:41,225
I know, right?
- Well...
287
00:17:41,302 --> 00:17:43,895
You better hold on 'cause
things are about to get real.
288
00:17:49,644 --> 00:17:52,052
Let's get a picture
if you ladies are ready.
289
00:17:52,130 --> 00:17:53,321

00:18:05,143 --> 00:18:07,993
So all we need
is a four-bedroom house
293
00:18:08,070 --> 00:18:10,922
in a nice neighborhood with
a great school for the boys.
294
00:18:12,759 --> 00:18:14,317
Do we need to spend 500K?
295
00:18:14,319 --> 00:18:16,243
We spent half that
in Virginia Beach.
296
00:18:16,321 --> 00:18:18,245
How would that even work for us?
297
00:18:18,264 --> 00:18:22,249
No, my job is here. My parents
are here. Child care...
298
00:18:22,327 --> 00:18:24,268
We're never getting out of here.
299
00:18:24,420 --> 00:18:26,771
Oh. Sweetie.
300
00:18:26,848 --> 00:18:29,440
Virginia Beach can still be
our long-term plan.
301
00:18:29,517 --> 00:18:31,851
Okay? I wanna
move there, too, someday.
302
00:18:31,927 --> 00:18:35,279
But right now this is
the best place for our family.
303
00:18:37,283 --> 00:18:40,100
University's gonna promote me,
I think. Did I tell you?
304
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:41,935
That's fantastic!

to tenure track.
306
00:18:44,515 --> 00:18:46,198
I'm still gonna handle
all the network contracts,
307
00:18:46,351 --> 00:18:48,942
but that classroom stuff will be
some extra security for us.
308
00:18:49,020 --> 00:18:51,612
And it's gonna look really good
on our mortgage application.
309
00:18:51,689 --> 00:18:52,797
Did I tell you,
one of my clients said
310
00:18:52,948 --> 00:18:54,632
it's a great time
to buy right now.
311
00:18:54,709 --> 00:18:57,468
[Bill] That's good.
Come on, boys, eat up.

00:19:04,218 --> 00:19:05,309
Hey.

Can we please,
315
00:19:09,540 --> 00:19:12,150
please, go out shopping
this weekend?
316
00:19:12,226 --> 00:19:15,636
Mm, sure, why not?
317

The clinic hired
another partner.
349
00:21:02,987 --> 00:21:06,097
I have four bosses.
- Oh, who is he?
350
00:21:06,173 --> 00:21:09,825
I don't know, some big-shot
from D.C. He's hot, though.
351
00:21:09,827 --> 00:21:12,344
Got the whole nursing staff
just drooling over him.
352
00:21:12,421 --> 00:21:14,254
Yeah? Is he single?
353
00:21:14,332 --> 00:21:17,924
Of course not.
- They never are.
354
00:21:18,002 --> 00:21:20,278
So you guys gonna buy a house?
- Yes.
355
00:21:20,354 --> 00:21:24,340
And I'm excited to have a bigger
house, better neighborhood.
356
00:21:24,358 --> 00:21:26,617
Well, here's
to living the dream.
357
00:21:26,769 --> 00:21:28,286
[chuckling]
358
00:21:30,364 --> 00:21:32,623
Hey, Selene. How's it going?
- Mm! Hey, Bill.
359
00:21:32,775 --> 00:21:34,775
Wanna join us?
- Ooh, can't. Sorry.
360
00:21:34,852 --> 00:21:37,369
Well, where are you going?
- AC.
361
00:21:37,446 --> 00:21:40,280
Uh, it's date night.
The boys are with my parents.
362
00:21:40,358 --> 00:21:41,465
It's gonna have to be next week.
363
00:21:41,542 --> 00:21:43,375
Walter asked me
to drive down with him.
364
00:21:43,528 --> 00:21:45,285
Oh, I transferred some money
to casino line.
365
00:21:45,305 --> 00:21:47,621
Oh, hey, uh, Bill.
366
00:21:47,698 --> 00:21:50,716
Uh, there's no more play money.
367
00:21:50,868 --> 00:21:53,144
Okay? We're gonna have
a lot of housing costs soon.
368
00:21:53,295 --> 00:21:56,630
We really need
to be saving money.
369
00:21:56,707 --> 00:21:58,816
Don't worry.
Tonight I'm gonna win.
370
00:22:00,302 --> 00:22:01,894
Don't wait up.
371
00:22:02,046 --> 00:22:03,821
[intense music]
372
00:22:05,216 --> 00:22:06,657
[door opens]
- Mel...
373
00:22:07,735 --> 00:22:09,076
Sweetie.
- [door shuts]
374
00:22:12,740 --> 00:22:14,332
What's going on?
375
00:22:17,486 --> 00:22:19,295
It never stops.
376
00:22:22,917 --> 00:22:25,843
[instrumental music]
377
00:22:27,013 --> 00:22:28,846
Hi!
378
00:22:28,923 --> 00:22:31,407
Daniela. Hey, I'm Melanie.
379
00:22:31,425 --> 00:22:32,758
Hi, Melanie. Nice to meet you.
380
00:22:32,835 --> 00:22:35,427
Nice to meet you.
What a beautiful accent.
381
00:22:35,504 --> 00:22:38,171
Where are you from, Daniela?
- Oh, I'm from Brazil.
382
00:22:38,249 --> 00:22:40,674
I'm here for school.
- In Newark?
383
00:22:40,751 --> 00:22:42,935
Yeah, uh, New Jersey
Institute of Technology.
384
00:22:43,011 --> 00:22:46,589
NJIT. It's a good school.
My husband actually works there.
385
00:22:46,591 --> 00:22:49,516
Oh, right on.
- Yeah.
386
00:22:49,535 --> 00:22:53,037
All right, Daniela, so have you
ever donated eggs before?
387
00:22:53,114 --> 00:22:56,040
No, but a friend of mine did and
she said it was a perfect way
388
00:22:56,191 --> 00:22:57,933
to make some extra cash,
you know?
389
00:22:57,935 --> 00:23:00,193
Hey, I-I-I wanted to ask you.
- Mm-hmm.
390
00:23:00,271 --> 00:23:02,046
This guy I'm seeing is worried
391
00:23:02,123 --> 00:23:05,457
that the hormones will interfere
with our sex life.
392
00:23:05,610 --> 00:23:07,367
Is that true?
393
00:23:07,445 --> 00:23:09,128
It can happen for some donors,
394
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:10,629
but most of the time
the biggest complaint
395
00:23:10,706 --> 00:23:12,539
is just the mood swings.
396
00:23:12,558 --> 00:23:15,709
Well, nothing he can't fix
with some fine jewelry, right?
397
00:23:15,786 --> 00:23:18,211
I like the way you think,
Daniela.
398
00:23:18,289 --> 00:23:19,880
Oh, call me Dani. Everyone does.
399
00:23:19,957 --> 00:23:23,234
Okay, Dani.
Uh, so today's pretty simple.
400
00:23:23,385 --> 00:23:24,977
It's really
just about blood work.
401
00:23:25,053 --> 00:23:26,737
Got a gown for you right here.
402
00:23:26,814 --> 00:23:28,739
I'm gonna step out while you get
undressed, and the doctor
403
00:23:28,816 --> 00:23:30,299
and I will be back
in a few minutes, okay?
404
00:23:30,301 --> 00:23:33,059
Okay.
- Okay.
405
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:36,747
Dani? Dani Da Cruz?
406
00:23:36,824 --> 00:23:39,975
Yup, Daniela Cruz.
407
00:23:39,977 --> 00:23:42,086
I know, I should've been
a pop star, right?
408
00:23:52,673 --> 00:23:55,674
[breathing heavily]
409
00:23:55,751 --> 00:23:58,602
[intense music]
410
00:24:04,444 --> 00:24:07,403
[breathing heavily]
411
00:24:13,286 --> 00:24:14,618
God...
412
00:24:24,613 --> 00:24:26,255
Oh, God!
413
00:24:37,459 --> 00:24:39,101
[Brad] Is she ready?
- Yeah.
414
00:24:40,646 --> 00:24:43,872
You okay?
- Yeah.
415
00:24:43,874 --> 00:24:46,132
You look like
you could use a minute.
416
00:24:46,210 --> 00:24:47,968
Look, I'll have Gail
cover for you.
417
00:24:48,045 --> 00:24:50,062
No, no, no, no,
it's a blood draw
418
00:24:50,138 --> 00:24:53,732
and there are tricky veins and
Gail gets nervous. It's fine.
419
00:24:53,809 --> 00:24:55,618
I'll do it myself, then.
420
00:24:57,813 --> 00:24:59,663
It's fine, thank you.
421
00:25:12,327 --> 00:25:14,512
[dramatic music]
422
00:25:14,588 --> 00:25:16,997
[Daniela laughing]
423
00:25:17,074 --> 00:25:18,349
[Daniela] Stop.
424
00:25:18,425 --> 00:25:20,851
[Daniela laughing]
425
00:25:22,337 --> 00:25:23,354
Mm...
426
00:25:26,433 --> 00:25:28,359
[sighs] This is fun.
427
00:25:31,179 --> 00:25:33,531
[intense music]
428
00:25:34,367 --> 00:25:36,258
[Daniela laughing]
429
00:25:36,260 --> 00:25:37,618
Love you.
430
00:25:40,206 --> 00:25:42,206
[music continues]
431
00:25:42,283 --> 00:25:44,708
[Daniela giggling]
432
00:25:44,860 --> 00:25:46,043
Bye.
433
00:25:47,438 --> 00:25:48,546
Bye.
434
00:25:49,865 --> 00:25:52,800
[music continues]
435
00:26:00,951 --> 00:26:02,467
[Melanie] Want a few more?
436
00:26:02,544 --> 00:26:04,728
Almost eaten
all of these for breakfast.
437
00:26:06,232 --> 00:26:09,716
Morning.
- Hey.
438
00:26:09,794 --> 00:26:12,736
I waited up all night for you.
- Sorry. Had that faculty thing.
439
00:26:12,813 --> 00:26:14,797
I tried to sneak out,
but Marty wouldn't let me.
440
00:26:14,799 --> 00:26:17,408
I thought
it was an early dinner.
441
00:26:17,484 --> 00:26:20,894
What time did you get back?
- Oh, it was late 'cause...
442
00:26:20,913 --> 00:26:23,322
You're not gonna believe it.
Here, some more juice, bud.
443
00:26:23,474 --> 00:26:25,824
By the time I get out of there,
car is missing.
444
00:26:25,976 --> 00:26:29,920
Campus police towed it. Took me
three hours to get it back.
445
00:26:29,997 --> 00:26:32,831
Wow. What a night.
446
00:26:32,908 --> 00:26:34,741
Mm-hmm. No kiddin'.
447
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,427
All right, gotta go.
448
00:26:38,914 --> 00:26:41,849
[eerie music]
449
00:26:48,849 --> 00:26:50,608
[indistinct announcement on PA]
450
00:26:52,353 --> 00:26:54,519
All right, tell Ms. Singh
her husband needs to get
451
00:26:54,596 --> 00:26:56,855
a motility analysis.
452
00:26:56,932 --> 00:26:59,842
And Ms. Parker, uh...
453
00:26:59,844 --> 00:27:01,118
Actually, her progesterone's
back up--
454
00:27:01,195 --> 00:27:04,079
I'm sorry.
Ms. Singh needs, um...
455
00:27:05,699 --> 00:27:08,441
What did you say?
- You okay?
456
00:27:08,519 --> 00:27:10,461
Yeah, I'm sorry,
it's just, uh...
457
00:27:11,446 --> 00:27:12,796
It's just home stuff.
458
00:27:12,948 --> 00:27:16,708
Well, um, not that
it's any of my business,
459
00:27:16,785 --> 00:27:19,452
but if there's anything
we can do for you here...
460
00:27:19,530 --> 00:27:21,546
Days off? Shorter hours?
- No.
461
00:27:21,623 --> 00:27:23,641
Paid cruise?
- No.
462
00:27:25,052 --> 00:27:27,978
Um, that's very kind of you.
463
00:27:29,056 --> 00:27:32,132
It's not kind. Selfish.
464
00:27:32,209 --> 00:27:35,569
You're our best nurse.
We'd fall apart without you.
465
00:27:38,157 --> 00:27:40,449
[instrumental music]
466
00:27:41,994 --> 00:27:43,886
Um, yeah, Ms. Singh--
- I need... Yeah.
467
00:27:43,888 --> 00:27:47,331
Well, I actually need you
to sign this, um...
468
00:27:49,243 --> 00:27:50,668
this paper.
469
00:27:54,748 --> 00:27:57,758

[indistinct chatter]
473
00:28:57,461 --> 00:29:00,070
Well, cheers.
- Cheers.
474

[music continues]

[indistinct chatter]
476
00:29:26,748 --> 00:29:30,434
I'm really sorry, if you could
try, uh, cashing it tomorrow,
477
00:29:30,511 --> 00:29:32,995
I'll make sure
that the funds are in there.
478
00:29:32,997 --> 00:29:36,923
Yeah, thank you. I really
appreciate it. Okay, bye.
479
00:29:36,942 --> 00:29:38,258
Go brush your teeth.
480

481
00:29:52,291 --> 00:29:54,875
[cell phone vibrating]
- [Bill laughing]
482
00:30:00,282 --> 00:30:04,376
[Bill] Hey, this is Bill.
You know what to do.
483
00:30:04,528 --> 00:30:07,137
Jack's preschool check just
bounced. Where are you? Call me.
484
00:30:09,124 --> 00:30:11,433
[music continues]
485
00:30:23,805 --> 00:30:25,948
[woman] Melanie, you've got
a call on line three.
486
00:30:30,054 --> 00:30:33,388
Hi, it's Melanie.
- Hey, it's me.
487
00:30:33,390 --> 00:30:35,648
Why are you calling me here?
Are the boys okay?
488
00:30:35,726 --> 00:30:38,060
Your cell is off. Boys are fine.
489
00:30:38,062 --> 00:30:40,838
I've good news for you.
- Well, what is it?
490
00:30:40,989 --> 00:30:42,840
Our offer was accepted.
We got the house.
491
00:30:43,843 --> 00:30:45,259
Oh, that's...
492
00:30:47,495 --> 00:30:50,806
[Melanie] Well, that's great.
- Congratulations.
493
00:30:54,244 --> 00:30:57,746
I hope this is good news
for you, too.
494
00:30:57,748 --> 00:31:01,525
It is.
I just hope we can afford it.
495
00:31:01,602 --> 00:31:04,194
Well, we can as long
as we're careful with our money.
496
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,760
You know, what, I got
a lot of work to do, I gotta go.
497
00:31:11,762 --> 00:31:13,704
[Bill] Yeah, me, too.
See you later.
498
00:31:13,780 --> 00:31:14,997
All right, bye.
499
00:31:18,878 --> 00:31:21,712
[dramatic music]
500
00:31:36,878 --> 00:31:38,478
[intense music]
501
00:31:42,401 --> 00:31:44,234
Think he suspects?
502
00:31:46,146 --> 00:31:48,146
I don't really care.
503
00:31:48,223 --> 00:31:50,657
What's good for the goose
is good for the gander.
504
00:31:53,913 --> 00:31:56,246
So where do you see us
taking this?
505
00:31:58,233 --> 00:32:02,144
To every bed
we can find together.
506
00:32:02,146 --> 00:32:03,712
I'm serious.
507
00:32:05,666 --> 00:32:07,257
Well, I'm...
508
00:32:07,409 --> 00:32:09,409
I'm not ready
to divorce my wife.
509
00:32:09,486 --> 00:32:12,745
If that's what you're asking.
- No.
510
00:32:12,765 --> 00:32:17,676
I mean, I am, but I wouldn't
wanna do that to the kids.
511
00:32:17,752 --> 00:32:20,228
I'm a child of divorce,
I don't want that for them.
512
00:32:22,424 --> 00:32:25,016
Or maybe I'm just a coward.
I don't know.
513
00:32:25,093 --> 00:32:28,687
Mm, no, you are not.
514
00:32:28,763 --> 00:32:31,949
Well, lots of people
are stuck in bad relationships.
515
00:32:34,269 --> 00:32:36,411
But I'll never escape him,
though.
516
00:32:37,939 --> 00:32:41,291
His gambling is a wrecking ball,
517
00:32:41,443 --> 00:32:44,444
for our future
and the boys' future.
518
00:32:44,521 --> 00:32:48,206
[sighs] And to top it all off,
519
00:32:48,283 --> 00:32:52,544
an offer we made on a house
was accepted, which is crazy.
520
00:32:52,620 --> 00:32:55,305
But at least it's money
521
00:32:55,382 --> 00:32:58,141
that he can't gamble away.
522
00:33:00,721 --> 00:33:03,647
Well, maybe this could be
a fresh start.
523
00:33:03,724 --> 00:33:07,150
You guys can start over.
524
00:33:09,229 --> 00:33:11,071
He'll never change.
525
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,330
I want a do-over.

What are you doing up?
530
00:33:40,668 --> 00:33:44,246
Oh, I'm... I couldn't sleep.
531
00:33:44,264 --> 00:33:47,749
So I'm just, uh, gettin'
some work done.
532
00:33:47,768 --> 00:33:50,527
3:00 in the morning?
Come back to bed.
533
00:33:51,679 --> 00:33:53,363
I'll be there in a minute.
534

00:35:16,356 --> 00:35:17,948
Hi. Mm-hmm.
540
00:35:19,359 --> 00:35:22,268
101. Yeah, no. Yes.
541
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:24,621
You can go ahead and give him
some Tylenol. Thanks.
542
00:35:24,698 --> 00:35:29,534
N-not the... No. Not the grape.
He likes the cherry.
543
00:35:29,686 --> 00:35:32,963
Yeah, the cherry one, please.
Look, I gotta go.
544

[eerie music]
548
00:35:58,157 --> 00:36:01,232
Bill, they are not paying you
enough for these hours.
549
00:36:01,309 --> 00:36:03,902
Or did the parking trolls
get you again?
550
00:36:03,978 --> 00:36:06,237
Someone moved my car.
551
00:36:06,314 --> 00:36:08,556
Left it back at the office.
552
00:36:08,558 --> 00:36:11,168
I don't understand.
Who would do that?
553
00:36:13,321 --> 00:36:15,230
[keys jingling]
554
00:36:15,248 --> 00:36:16,840
Someone with a spare key.
555
00:36:18,902 --> 00:36:20,735
You made me miss
a drinks meeting with Marty,
556
00:36:20,737 --> 00:36:23,421
my boss,
the guy who decides tenure!
557
00:36:23,498 --> 00:36:25,089
I don't know what you're talking
about, but you know,
558
00:36:25,166 --> 00:36:26,666
the boys are sleeping.
559
00:36:26,743 --> 00:36:29,519
So if you could just
keep your voice down...
560
00:36:30,838 --> 00:36:33,264
Did you move it?
561
00:36:33,417 --> 00:36:36,175
You know it really took me
a long time to get JC--
562
00:36:36,195 --> 00:36:37,861
Did you move my car?
563
00:36:39,439 --> 00:36:41,198
What, move your car?
564
00:36:43,368 --> 00:36:45,610
Of course not.
- There.
565
00:36:45,687 --> 00:36:46,870
There it is.
566
00:36:48,856 --> 00:36:51,374

[clattering]
569
00:36:55,272 --> 00:36:58,106
Did you move my car?
- What did I just say?
570
00:36:58,108 --> 00:37:00,366
Except, you were smiling
when you said it, bitch.
571
00:37:00,444 --> 00:37:02,961
We both know what that means!
572
00:37:03,037 --> 00:37:06,473
Did you move my goddamn car?
573
00:37:10,062 --> 00:37:12,145
And why would I do
something like that?
574
00:37:15,049 --> 00:37:18,068
Can you think of any reason? Hm?

Congratulations, Mr. McGuire.
586
00:39:44,608 --> 00:39:48,033
You are officially a co-owner
587
00:39:48,111 --> 00:39:50,536
of a four-bedroom,
three-bath residence
588
00:39:50,555 --> 00:39:53,139
in Warren County.
589
00:40:00,232 --> 00:40:01,305
To the future.

Hope we're not in
over our heads.
593
00:40:21,311 --> 00:40:23,828
Well, there's no going back now.
594
00:40:23,905 --> 00:40:26,089

We found a head
and upper torso, chief.
600
00:40:55,512 --> 00:40:56,953
Yeah, they-they have to belong
to the legs
601
00:40:57,030 --> 00:40:58,705
that washed up last week.
602
00:41:01,017 --> 00:41:04,109
Same brand of suitcase.
Kenneth Cole.
603
00:41:04,187 --> 00:41:05,712
Probably one of those
luggage sets.
604
00:41:07,114 --> 00:41:09,299
Yeah, he working on it.
605
00:41:09,375 --> 00:41:11,718
Almost done. Copy that.
606
00:41:13,955 --> 00:41:16,030
My God!
607
00:41:16,032 --> 00:41:18,290

to another human being?

Mr. Cappararo?
- Yes.

I'm Detective Stanyan with the
Woodbridge Police Department.
612
00:41:46,896 --> 00:41:49,005
Is your step-daughter
Melanie here?
613
00:41:49,082 --> 00:41:52,233
Yeah, she is. Can I tell her
what this is about?
614
00:41:52,252 --> 00:41:53,927
We should talk inside, sir.
615
00:41:56,497 --> 00:41:58,348
All right. Come on.
- I went to her house.
616
00:41:58,499 --> 00:42:00,517
The cleaning lady told me
she was here.
617
00:42:09,102 --> 00:42:13,254
Uh, please. This is my wife
Linda, my daughter Melanie.
618
00:42:13,256 --> 00:42:16,274
I'm Detective Stanyan. Hi.
- Hi.
619
00:42:16,350 --> 00:42:18,034
Do you mind if I sit?
- Yeah.
620
00:42:21,281 --> 00:42:24,932
I think it would be better
if the children weren't here.
621
00:42:24,934 --> 00:42:26,709
Okay, well, now you're getting
me worried, detective.
622
00:42:26,786 --> 00:42:30,271
Uh, boys, can you go with, um...
Mom, can you take them?
623
00:42:30,273 --> 00:42:32,123
Yeah. Come on, come on, guys.
- Go with grandma.

[Linda] Who wants ice cream?
Want some ice cream?
625
00:42:33,943 --> 00:42:35,301

[door shuts]
627

There's no easy way
to say this, ma'am.
628
00:42:43,395 --> 00:42:46,396
Your husband, Bill McGuire,
was found dead in Virginia.
629
00:42:48,291 --> 00:42:49,399
Oh, my God.
630
00:42:49,550 --> 00:42:51,717
I know he'd been
reported missing.
631
00:42:51,795 --> 00:42:55,129
His friends, Jon and Susan Rice,
identified the body for us.
632
00:42:55,131 --> 00:42:57,890
From the water?
W-w-what? What, did he drown?
633
00:42:57,967 --> 00:42:59,725
How did he die?
- Wish I could elaborate.
634
00:42:59,803 --> 00:43:01,319
But we're not leading
this investigation.
635
00:43:01,395 --> 00:43:03,638
This is Virginia Beach's case.
636
00:43:03,656 --> 00:43:05,323
They'll be reaching out to you
shortly.
637
00:43:05,399 --> 00:43:06,916
Honey.
- Oh, oh...
638
00:43:06,993 --> 00:43:10,569
[sobbing] Wait,
this isn't happening.
639
00:43:10,589 --> 00:43:12,905
I'm so sorry, ma'am.
- My God!
640
00:43:12,982 --> 00:43:15,258
Are the boys in the other room?
641
00:43:15,335 --> 00:43:18,336
I know. I'm so sorry.
642
00:43:18,412 --> 00:43:21,264
[intense music]
643
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,754
[sighs] You need to take
compassionate leave.
644
00:43:28,832 --> 00:43:29,772
A month or two.
- No.
645
00:43:29,849 --> 00:43:30,940
I'll have HR clear it.
646
00:43:31,017 --> 00:43:34,168
I-I want to work.
647
00:43:34,187 --> 00:43:37,780
It'll keep me sane. You're here.
648
00:43:37,932 --> 00:43:42,176
[sighs] God,
I-I can't believe he's dead.
649
00:43:42,195 --> 00:43:44,178
All this time I thought
he was just off
650
00:43:44,180 --> 00:43:47,123
binging with his girlfriend
in Atlantic City.
651
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,126
We were supposed to move in
to our new house next week.
652
00:43:51,129 --> 00:43:52,211
Uh, I...
653
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,357
I don't even wanna go there.
654
00:43:56,359 --> 00:43:58,134
You just bought it.
- With Bill.
655
00:43:59,863 --> 00:44:01,195
I'm just gonna stay
with my parents
656
00:44:01,197 --> 00:44:03,640
until I figure out
what I'm gonna do.
657
00:44:03,791 --> 00:44:05,391
Oh, my God!
658
00:44:09,222 --> 00:44:11,648
I can only imagine
what you're going through.
659
00:44:13,467 --> 00:44:15,059
I mean, even if things
weren't good at the end,
660
00:44:15,136 --> 00:44:16,986
you guys have history together,
you have memories.
661
00:44:17,063 --> 00:44:19,380
You need to grieve.
662
00:44:19,382 --> 00:44:23,308
So if you wanna take a break
from us,
663
00:44:23,386 --> 00:44:24,735
I mean, I completely understand.
664
00:44:24,812 --> 00:44:25,912
No.
665
00:44:27,499 --> 00:44:29,999
No. You-you don't get it.
666
00:44:34,414 --> 00:44:35,913
I was divorcing him.
667
00:44:35,990 --> 00:44:38,841
[dramatic music]
668
00:44:47,410 --> 00:44:51,412
A lawyer isn't needed, by the
way. This is not adversarial.
669
00:44:51,414 --> 00:44:53,915
Oh, Judy's just
my divorce attorney.
670
00:44:53,917 --> 00:44:56,600
I only asked her to be here
as an extra set of ears.
671
00:44:56,753 --> 00:44:58,419
All right, Ms. McGuire,
672
00:44:58,421 --> 00:45:02,256
if I could start
with the last time you saw Bill.
673
00:45:02,258 --> 00:45:06,944
Yeah, um, April 28th,
in the early morning,
674
00:45:07,096 --> 00:45:11,933
around 4:00 or 5:00
is when he walked out on us.
675
00:45:11,951 --> 00:45:14,118
On you and your children?
- Yes.
676
00:45:14,270 --> 00:45:17,213
And this was at the house
at 2902 Plaza Drive?
677
00:45:19,050 --> 00:45:21,459
Right, yes.
We'd just had a fight.
678
00:45:21,535 --> 00:45:23,611
The fight noted in
the temporary restraining order
679
00:45:23,629 --> 00:45:25,537
that you filed two days later?
680
00:45:25,615 --> 00:45:29,041
He got physical,
it wasn't the first time,
681
00:45:29,118 --> 00:45:32,286
but I was worried about what
might happen when he came back.
682
00:45:32,305 --> 00:45:36,307
Physical meaning violent?
- Yes.
683
00:45:36,459 --> 00:45:39,460
You did the right thing, ma'am.
Too many women wait.
684
00:45:39,462 --> 00:45:41,237
So had he not died,
Bill would be coming back
685
00:45:41,388 --> 00:45:44,240
to divorce papers?
That was your intention?
686
00:45:44,317 --> 00:45:48,319
I retained duty right after
the restraining order.
687
00:45:48,395 --> 00:45:51,489
Okay, so just so I'm clear,
688
00:45:51,641 --> 00:45:53,157
the fight that led you
to end the marriage
689
00:45:53,309 --> 00:45:55,418
took place the day after
you and your husband
690
00:45:55,495 --> 00:45:57,069
closed on
the Warren County property.
691
00:45:57,146 --> 00:46:00,147
Yeah. Ridiculous timing, I know.
692
00:46:00,149 --> 00:46:02,650
[whistles]
Huh, that's a beautiful house.
693
00:46:02,668 --> 00:46:06,245
I mean, it's like a dream home,
really.
694
00:46:06,322 --> 00:46:08,823
Not Bill's.
- You talked him into it?
695
00:46:08,825 --> 00:46:11,659
Oh, that's what
the fight was about.
696
00:46:11,677 --> 00:46:13,936
Bill had a gambling problem.
697
00:46:14,088 --> 00:46:15,846
I loved this house,
but mostly I thought
698
00:46:15,999 --> 00:46:17,756
real estate was a good way
to lock up our money.
699
00:46:17,834 --> 00:46:21,260
So that Bill couldn't touch it.
- Okay. Right.
700
00:46:21,337 --> 00:46:24,763
[Pickell] The next step for us,
we need to search your home.
701
00:46:24,841 --> 00:46:26,616
Great.
702
00:46:26,692 --> 00:46:29,452
[instrumental music]
703
00:46:33,124 --> 00:46:35,366
You own a Kenneth Cole
luggage set, Ms. McGuire?
704
00:46:35,518 --> 00:46:38,035
Uh, I do. I did.
705
00:46:38,112 --> 00:46:40,612
Uh, I don't know, I think Bill
took it with him when he left.
706
00:46:40,690 --> 00:46:42,114
I don't know
if it's Kenneth Cole,
707
00:46:42,191 --> 00:46:44,358
but it's maybe something
name brand.
708
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,211
Ms. McGuire, this, this laptop,
yours or Bill's?
709
00:46:47,288 --> 00:46:49,030
It's both of ours, we shared it.
710
00:46:49,032 --> 00:46:51,224
May we take it for a few days?
- Yeah, of course.
711
00:47:01,394 --> 00:47:04,879
[sighs] I mean, I don't know
what else they want from me.
712
00:47:04,897 --> 00:47:06,805
I have answered their questions.
713
00:47:06,883 --> 00:47:09,066
I've bent over backwards
trying to help them.
714
00:47:09,143 --> 00:47:11,735
And now they're just buzzing
around the house like bees.
715
00:47:11,812 --> 00:47:14,572
Okay, don't take it personal,
they're just doing their job.
716
00:47:14,648 --> 00:47:16,648
[Michael] Selene's right,
they're checking their boxes.
717
00:47:16,726 --> 00:47:18,059
They have to look at the spouse.
718
00:47:18,077 --> 00:47:20,561
That is an awful feeling.
719
00:47:20,580 --> 00:47:22,746
It'll pass.
Just tell them everything.
720
00:47:22,823 --> 00:47:25,232
What's everything?
- [Michael] Anything relevant.
721
00:47:25,251 --> 00:47:28,752
Full cooperation.
- Oh...
722
00:47:28,905 --> 00:47:32,181
Well, what if it's not relevant,
but they might think it is?
723
00:47:33,426 --> 00:47:35,268
Mn-mn. This doesn't sound good.
724
00:47:37,838 --> 00:47:40,172
Remember how Bill had a felony
for perjury?
725
00:47:40,249 --> 00:47:42,358
Yeah, the whole
speeding-ticket thing?
726
00:47:42,435 --> 00:47:44,752
He wouldn't have passed
a background check,
727
00:47:44,754 --> 00:47:46,178
so he asked me
to get it for him.
728
00:47:46,255 --> 00:47:48,364
Just pestered me about it
for months,
729
00:47:48,441 --> 00:47:50,533
so finally I just gave in.
730
00:47:50,610 --> 00:47:52,201
Get what, sweetheart?
731
00:47:54,188 --> 00:47:56,855
A gun.
732
00:47:56,875 --> 00:47:59,542
Uh, he wouldn't leave it alone,
you know, especially once
733
00:47:59,619 --> 00:48:00,951
he knew we were moving,
he thought we needed
734
00:48:01,028 --> 00:48:02,712
protection out there.
735
00:48:02,788 --> 00:48:04,438
What kind of gun?
- Well, I don't, I don't know.
736
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,215
I don't know a gun
from a can of paint, pop.
737
00:48:06,292 --> 00:48:08,718
Whatever he told me to get.
A-a pistol.
738
00:48:08,794 --> 00:48:11,220
Okay, where is it now?
- The hell if I know.
739
00:48:11,372 --> 00:48:13,389
I gave it to him,
I never saw it again.
740
00:48:13,540 --> 00:48:15,466
Okay, okay, that's fine.
That's fine.
741
00:48:15,542 --> 00:48:18,135
We tell them now.
Get out in front of it.
742
00:48:18,212 --> 00:48:22,064
But the bigger problem
is gonna be when I bought it.
743
00:48:23,217 --> 00:48:25,568
[intense music]
744
00:48:29,465 --> 00:48:32,057
[Patti] Okay,
show me what you got.
745
00:48:32,076 --> 00:48:34,985
[Stanyan] This is April 26th,
at a retailer in Pennsylvania.
746
00:48:35,062 --> 00:48:39,398
A nickel-finish Taurus .38,
one box of wadcutter rounds.
747
00:48:39,475 --> 00:48:41,825
April 26th?
Where is this on our timeline?
748
00:48:41,902 --> 00:48:44,253
Two days before she claims
she last saw the victim.
749
00:48:44,756 --> 00:48:46,088
Ah...
750
00:48:53,914 --> 00:48:55,839
Download me. Where are we?
751
00:48:55,916 --> 00:48:58,492
There's zero evidence
she had plans to leave him.
752
00:48:58,494 --> 00:49:00,344
All her legal moves,
the abuse claim,
753
00:49:00,421 --> 00:49:02,346
the TRO,
hiring a divorce lawyer,
754
00:49:02,498 --> 00:49:04,941
occurred immediately
after Bill vanished.
755
00:49:05,017 --> 00:49:07,944
Mm, an attempt to back-fill
her narrative.
756
00:49:08,095 --> 00:49:09,946
Exactly.
- You've got the gun purchase.
757
00:49:10,097 --> 00:49:11,447
Y-you don't have the gun,
though.
758
00:49:11,524 --> 00:49:13,115
She claims
that Bill took it with him.
759
00:49:13,192 --> 00:49:15,434
You've one bullet retrieved from
the torso's ribcage,
760
00:49:15,511 --> 00:49:17,511
a wadcutter,
just like the one she purchased.
761
00:49:17,530 --> 00:49:18,788
Unfortunately, it's the most
762
00:49:18,939 --> 00:49:20,439
popular target round
in the country.
763
00:49:20,516 --> 00:49:22,458
And the black garbage bags
found in the suitcases,
764
00:49:22,535 --> 00:49:25,186
they exactly match the bags
from the McGuire kitchen.
765
00:49:25,188 --> 00:49:27,463
Same grade of plastic,
the same factory.
766
00:49:27,540 --> 00:49:30,282
But also the same commonality
problem as the bullets.
767
00:49:30,359 --> 00:49:31,467
They're sold
all over the East Coast.
768
00:49:31,544 --> 00:49:33,027
I'm not worried about it.
769
00:49:33,045 --> 00:49:34,619
Now, where are we on DNA?
770
00:49:34,697 --> 00:49:36,788
Nothing at the townhouse,
some very heavy
771
00:49:36,866 --> 00:49:39,049
bleach residue, though.
Somebody cleaned well.
772
00:49:39,202 --> 00:49:41,535
[Pickell] Not in Bill's car.
- You found it?
773
00:49:41,537 --> 00:49:43,887
Thursday. An impound yard
in Atlantic City.
774
00:49:43,964 --> 00:49:46,465
His DNA all over the floor mats.
775
00:49:46,542 --> 00:49:48,392
Blood?
- Skin fragments.
776
00:49:48,544 --> 00:49:50,894
Most likely tracked in
on someone's shoes.
777
00:49:51,047 --> 00:49:52,229
Good.
778
00:49:52,306 --> 00:49:53,714
I think you should know that,
779
00:49:53,716 --> 00:49:56,383
in person,
I find her convincing.
780
00:49:56,385 --> 00:49:58,327
Steady as she goes
in our interviews.
781
00:49:58,404 --> 00:50:00,221
Well, I find Meryl Streep
convincing.
782
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:01,998
Sh-she's still an actress.
783
00:50:08,155 --> 00:50:10,155
Gentleman,
our person of interest
784
00:50:10,233 --> 00:50:12,082
just got a lot more interesting.
785
00:50:12,235 --> 00:50:15,011
[intense music]
786
00:50:20,926 --> 00:50:22,760
[indistinct chatter]
787
00:50:22,836 --> 00:50:25,438
[instrumental music]
788
00:50:27,250 --> 00:50:30,151
[sobbing]
789
00:50:43,207 --> 00:50:45,857
I know we're grieving,
but I've lost my brother,
790
00:50:45,935 --> 00:50:48,693
so I'm just gonna come out
and say it.
791
00:50:48,771 --> 00:50:52,606
He deserved better.
That service was totally rushed.
792
00:50:52,608 --> 00:50:54,291
[Cindy] The priest didn't even
know his name.
793
00:50:54,443 --> 00:50:56,868
That was the only time slot
that they had left.
794
00:50:56,888 --> 00:50:58,846
Where were the boys?
795
00:51:03,469 --> 00:51:05,803
They've been through enough.
796
00:51:05,955 --> 00:51:09,139
Bill is their father.
797
00:51:09,216 --> 00:51:12,293
Mom, give us a minute?
Hey, the boys are two and four.
798
00:51:12,295 --> 00:51:14,144
They cry for their daddy every
single night, and I hold them
799
00:51:14,297 --> 00:51:16,721
until it stops.
I was just trying to spare them.
800
00:51:16,799 --> 00:51:18,966
Bill would've wanted them here.
- I couldn't really ask him.
801
00:51:18,968 --> 00:51:22,060
Now, could I? And since when are
you so concerned about the boys?
802
00:51:22,138 --> 00:51:23,913
You're the aunt
they barely know.
803
00:51:25,750 --> 00:51:27,083
I'm sorry.
804
00:51:28,753 --> 00:51:31,328
God. I'm sorry.
That was not okay.
805
00:51:31,405 --> 00:51:35,316
I'm a single mother
in the middle of a nightmare,
806
00:51:35,334 --> 00:51:38,076
and I'm just trying
to get through it.
807
00:51:38,154 --> 00:51:39,820
It's not over
until they found his killer.
808
00:51:39,822 --> 00:51:41,931
You haven't forgotten
about that, have you?
809
00:51:42,007 --> 00:51:46,009
Because you seem
remarkably uninterested.
810
00:51:46,162 --> 00:51:50,606
The boys and I
need to keep living, Cindy.
811
00:51:52,759 --> 00:51:55,336
I take it back.
812
00:51:55,338 --> 00:51:57,855
Not all of us are grieving,
are we?
813
00:51:58,007 --> 00:52:00,524
[intense music]
814
00:52:00,676 --> 00:52:03,119
Well, I'm sorry the service
wasn't to your liking.
815
00:52:04,288 --> 00:52:07,289
[music continues]
816
00:52:16,359 --> 00:52:18,050
[knocking on door]
- [camera clicks]
817
00:52:27,311 --> 00:52:29,478
[Melanie] It's been quiet.
818
00:52:29,630 --> 00:52:31,814
No police contact
for two months.
819
00:52:33,317 --> 00:52:34,942
Maybe they've moved on.
820
00:52:36,303 --> 00:52:38,879
You think?
- They should.
821
00:52:38,898 --> 00:52:41,732
[sighs]
They need to,
822
00:52:41,884 --> 00:52:44,309
because I don't how much more
of this I can take.
823
00:52:44,328 --> 00:52:46,078
The waiting is hell.
824
00:52:47,981 --> 00:52:50,499
Some days I just wish
they'd just
825
00:52:50,576 --> 00:52:53,002
get it over with
and arrest me already.
826
00:52:53,153 --> 00:52:55,396
Hey.
827
00:52:55,398 --> 00:52:59,733
It won't come to that,
I promise.
828
00:52:59,735 --> 00:53:02,094
You're innocent,
that's where they'll end up.
829
00:53:10,354 --> 00:53:13,022
Good morning. Thank you.
830
00:53:18,512 --> 00:53:22,089
Dr. Miller. Detective Stanyan,
Woodbridge Police Department.
831
00:53:22,091 --> 00:53:24,366
You have a minute?
- What's this about?
832
00:53:24,443 --> 00:53:27,852
I just have a few questions
about Melanie McGuire.
833
00:53:27,930 --> 00:53:31,281
Melanie? That's Dr. Scott's
nurse, mostly.
834
00:53:31,358 --> 00:53:34,210
He may be better qualified
to assist you.
835
00:53:34,286 --> 00:53:35,961
I don't think so, doctor.
836
00:53:38,216 --> 00:53:41,050
[intense music]
837
00:53:43,279 --> 00:53:45,629
That is a beautiful family.
838
00:53:45,706 --> 00:53:47,181
We need to talk.
839
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:54,855
[music continues]
840
00:54:03,299 --> 00:54:06,800
Where are we with motive?
Anything more, Terry?
841
00:54:06,802 --> 00:54:09,970
Uh, we don't need more.
We've got a lover.
842
00:54:09,972 --> 00:54:12,806
The oldest story
in the murder-your-spouse book.
843
00:54:12,808 --> 00:54:14,324
Except there's no evidence
Dr. Miller
844
00:54:14,401 --> 00:54:16,752
planned to divorce his wife.
845
00:54:16,829 --> 00:54:18,570
Maybe she hoped he would.
846
00:54:18,647 --> 00:54:20,831
Or maybe it's something bigger.
847
00:54:20,907 --> 00:54:23,092
Bigger?
- Deeper.
848
00:54:23,168 --> 00:54:25,076
When Melanie was four,
her dad ditched the fam
849
00:54:25,154 --> 00:54:26,929
for a brand-new life
in California,
850
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:28,913
then promptly died
of liver cancer.
851
00:54:28,991 --> 00:54:30,915
What?
That made her a sociopath?
852
00:54:30,993 --> 00:54:32,434
Uh, maybe not sociopath,
853
00:54:32,511 --> 00:54:34,436
but everyone has triggers.
854
00:54:36,256 --> 00:54:40,667
[Bill] Did you move
my goddamn car?
855
00:54:40,669 --> 00:54:41,852
[Anne] Add domestic violence
to the mix.
856
00:54:41,928 --> 00:54:43,337
Okay, wait, wait, wait. No.
857
00:54:43,355 --> 00:54:45,948
We are not maligning the victim.
858
00:54:46,025 --> 00:54:47,932
You know, she says he got rough
with her, but we don't know
859
00:54:48,010 --> 00:54:50,177
that, there's no report of that.
860
00:54:50,179 --> 00:54:51,678
I thought
we're discussing motive.
861
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,865
We are.
A motive that gets a win for us.
862
00:54:55,017 --> 00:54:57,351
[Patti] Now, a victim who had it
coming isn't gonna do that.
863
00:54:57,353 --> 00:55:00,687
Neither is a-a sad,
weepy childhood story. No.
864
00:55:00,706 --> 00:55:04,374
But what will is a secret lover.
865
00:55:04,527 --> 00:55:06,468
Obsession.
866
00:55:06,545 --> 00:55:11,048
Now, now, the fantasy of
starting a new life with someone
867
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,125
without any of the trappings
of her old one...
868
00:55:14,203 --> 00:55:16,219
I mean,
people can relate to that.
869
00:55:16,296 --> 00:55:18,296
And who of us hasn't dreamt
870
00:55:18,374 --> 00:55:20,983
of doing that
at least at one point?
871
00:55:21,060 --> 00:55:24,061
Of killing our spouses?
- No, of being free.
872
00:55:24,137 --> 00:55:27,489
Free, totally free,
of-of a mess that we've made.
873
00:55:28,809 --> 00:55:32,477
Okay, Terry. Tell me our story.
874
00:55:32,555 --> 00:55:35,247
From?
- The night of.
875
00:55:36,742 --> 00:55:40,336
Early morning, actually,
4:30 a.m.,
876
00:55:40,412 --> 00:55:41,912
the suspect claims that--
877
00:55:42,064 --> 00:55:43,339
Defendant.
878
00:55:44,658 --> 00:55:46,157
Uh, we haven't charged her yet.
879
00:55:46,235 --> 00:55:48,235
Well, let's just try it on
for size.
880
00:55:48,237 --> 00:55:50,829
[chuckling]
881
00:55:50,906 --> 00:55:52,330
Right.
882
00:55:52,408 --> 00:55:54,741
The morning
the defendant claims,
883
00:55:54,743 --> 00:55:57,502
in court filings
and police interviews,
884
00:55:57,521 --> 00:56:00,247
she had a fight with the victim
and feared for her life.
885
00:56:00,265 --> 00:56:03,007
Well, ladies and gentleman
of the jury,
886
00:56:03,085 --> 00:56:06,362
I regret to inform you,
there was no fight.
887
00:56:06,438 --> 00:56:09,031
The night he and Melanie
closed on their dream home
888
00:56:09,108 --> 00:56:13,427
and celebrated with wine,
she killed him in cold blood.
889
00:56:13,445 --> 00:56:15,779
And Bill never saw it coming.
890
00:56:15,856 --> 00:56:19,600
How could he know
that two weeks earlier,
891
00:56:19,602 --> 00:56:21,543
the defendant
was on her home computer
892
00:56:21,620 --> 00:56:26,215
conducting Internet searches
on how to sedate someone?
893
00:56:26,291 --> 00:56:29,109
[Terry] That just two days
before that night
894
00:56:29,128 --> 00:56:31,962
she drove to a Pennsylvania gun
store where she would purchase
895
00:56:32,038 --> 00:56:35,616
a .38 caliber Taurus revolver
she would use to kill him?
896
00:56:35,618 --> 00:56:40,120
How could he know
that just one day before,
897
00:56:40,122 --> 00:56:42,639
she forged her lover's
signature and handed over
898
00:56:42,716 --> 00:56:45,292
a fraudulent prescription
of 500 milliliters
899
00:56:45,294 --> 00:56:48,987
of chloral hydrate syrup
to a pharmacist?
900
00:56:55,654 --> 00:56:57,971
How could he know
901
00:56:57,973 --> 00:57:00,565
that when he closed his eyes
that night,
902
00:57:00,584 --> 00:57:03,836
drugged from the altered wine
she had given him...
903
00:57:07,425 --> 00:57:09,149
that he'd sleep
just long enough for her
904
00:57:09,151 --> 00:57:11,385
to drop the kids off
at preschool...
905
00:57:14,339 --> 00:57:17,007
and return to end his life?
906
00:57:17,159 --> 00:57:20,018
[intense music]
907
00:57:27,278 --> 00:57:29,427
How could he know
908
00:57:29,505 --> 00:57:30,687
that he would never...
909
00:57:30,839 --> 00:57:32,096
[gunshot]
910
00:57:32,174 --> 00:57:34,450
wake up?
911
00:57:34,526 --> 00:57:35,617
[gunshot]
912
00:57:39,198 --> 00:57:41,439
Can I say something?
913
00:57:41,517 --> 00:57:45,202
Yes, Anne?
- So far the townhouse is clean.
914
00:57:45,278 --> 00:57:47,204
They did a luminol search
and they didn't find anything.
915
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:50,615
No blood in the bathroom,
no blood on the, on the couch.
916
00:57:50,693 --> 00:57:52,526
I'm having a team
from the outside
917
00:57:52,544 --> 00:57:53,785
come and do a deeper dig.
918
00:57:53,804 --> 00:57:55,712
Yeah, but what if
919
00:57:55,864 --> 00:57:57,214
the crime scene
proves to be somewhere else?
920
00:57:57,290 --> 00:57:59,716
It won't.
And we don't want it to.
921
00:57:59,793 --> 00:58:02,293
No, no, the townhouse
is a better story.
922
00:58:02,371 --> 00:58:03,795
Okay, keep going, Terry.
923
00:58:03,872 --> 00:58:07,649
Uh, from the shooting.
He's dead on the couch.
924
00:58:07,801 --> 00:58:10,060
So now Melanie
has a body to dispose of.
925
00:58:10,212 --> 00:58:11,653
[Terry] It's early
in the morning, the kids are
926
00:58:11,730 --> 00:58:13,714
in school, her folks have
agreed to pick
927
00:58:13,716 --> 00:58:16,233
them up from school
and keep them that night.
928
00:58:16,309 --> 00:58:18,568
So now Melanie has two days
929
00:58:18,645 --> 00:58:22,072
to get Bill into the suitcases
and clean up her mess.
930
00:58:22,224 --> 00:58:25,075
[garbage bags rustling]
931
00:58:25,151 --> 00:58:28,003
[intense music]
932
00:58:37,348 --> 00:58:40,182
[machine whirring]
933
00:58:47,766 --> 00:58:52,269
She did a good job on the house.
Perfect, in fact.
934
00:58:52,345 --> 00:58:55,922
But she forgot about her shoes.
935
00:58:55,924 --> 00:58:58,441
When she dumped Bill's car
in Atlantic City
936
00:58:58,594 --> 00:59:01,036
to throw investigators
off her scent,
937
00:59:01,113 --> 00:59:04,614
she tracked tiny skin fragments
from her butchering
938
00:59:04,691 --> 00:59:06,933
all over the floor mats.
939
00:59:06,935 --> 00:59:10,045
I-I don't like "skin fragments."
It's too-too clinical.
940
00:59:11,364 --> 00:59:13,882
I know, let's say
941
00:59:13,959 --> 00:59:15,968
human sawdust.
942
00:59:17,279 --> 00:59:19,721
I like that. I like that.
943
00:59:19,798 --> 00:59:21,848
Human sawdust.
944
00:59:23,894 --> 00:59:25,561
I think we're ready.
945
00:59:27,213 --> 00:59:29,565
[school bell ringing]
946
00:59:31,217 --> 00:59:34,127
Now, remember,
use your listening ears
947
00:59:34,146 --> 00:59:35,962
for Ms. Gail today, okay?
948
00:59:35,964 --> 00:59:39,223
Okay.
- All right. I love you, baby.
949
00:59:39,301 --> 00:59:42,135
And, uh, Ahma and PopPop are
gonna pick you up after school.
950
00:59:42,137 --> 00:59:44,805
Okay? Have a good day.
- You, too.
951
00:59:44,807 --> 00:59:46,540
Bye.
- Bye.
952
00:59:53,907 --> 00:59:56,592
[intense music]
953
00:59:57,820 --> 01:00:00,679
[indistinct radio chatter]
954
01:00:06,328 --> 01:00:07,769
Melanie McGuire,
put your hands on your head,
955
01:00:07,846 --> 01:00:09,087
interlace your fingers.
956
01:00:09,164 --> 01:00:11,164
Do you have any weapons on you?
- No.
957
01:00:11,166 --> 01:00:12,833
You have the right
to remain silent.
958
01:00:12,835 --> 01:00:14,443
Anything you say
can and will be used against you
959
01:00:14,519 --> 01:00:17,261
in a court of law. You have
the right to an attorney.
960
01:00:17,281 --> 01:00:20,115
You cannot afford one, the court
will provide one for you.
961
01:00:20,192 --> 01:00:21,783
Do you understand these rights
you've just heard?
962
01:00:21,860 --> 01:00:24,119
Yeah.
- Let's go.
963
01:00:37,192 --> 01:00:39,801
[judge] Mrs. McGuire,
how are you pleading?
964
01:00:42,122 --> 01:00:44,030
Not guilty, You Honor.
965
01:00:44,032 --> 01:00:46,032
Let the record show
that the defendant has pled
966
01:00:46,034 --> 01:00:47,976
not guilty
to the arresting charge of
967
01:00:48,053 --> 01:00:50,294
first-degree murder
of William McGuire.
968
01:00:50,314 --> 01:00:53,649
Counsel's request for
a preliminary hearing is denied.
969
01:00:53,725 --> 01:00:56,652
Bail is set at $750,000.
970
01:00:56,728 --> 01:00:59,613
[intense music]
971
01:01:07,313 --> 01:01:11,224
Yes, this is Michael Cappararo.
I do all my banking with you.
972
01:01:11,226 --> 01:01:13,243
Can I speak to a loan officer,
please?
973
01:01:13,395 --> 01:01:16,396
I wanna take out
a second mortgage on my house.
974
01:01:16,398 --> 01:01:19,841
No, no, no, I'll hold. I need
to speak with him right away.
975
01:01:19,918 --> 01:01:23,570
The arrest of Melanie McGuire
representsa 13-month effort
976
01:01:23,572 --> 01:01:26,181
to bring William McGuire's
killer to justice.
977
01:01:26,258 --> 01:01:29,851
Now, forget the prurient
headlines, this young man
978
01:01:29,928 --> 01:01:32,579
was the father of two,
who served his country,
979
01:01:32,581 --> 01:01:34,856
and I will forcefully
honor his life
980
01:01:34,933 --> 01:01:36,692
with our actions in court.
981
01:01:36,768 --> 01:01:40,420
We haven't decided if we will
seek the death penalty,
982
01:01:40,422 --> 01:01:43,590
but the rank barbarity
of this crime
983
01:01:43,608 --> 01:01:45,775
certainly puts it in play.
984
01:01:45,852 --> 01:01:47,202
No, that's-that's all for now.
985
01:01:47,353 --> 01:01:50,430
[Linda] Michael!
- [kids screaming]
986
01:01:50,449 --> 01:01:52,874
They're perfectly... Michael!
987
01:01:53,026 --> 01:01:55,860
[indistinct chatter]
- [kids screaming]
988
01:01:55,938 --> 01:01:58,029
No, they're gonna be fine.
- Hey, hey, what's going on here?
989
01:01:58,106 --> 01:01:59,548
No, no.
- They're taking the kids.
990
01:01:59,624 --> 01:02:00,698
Michael!
- No...
991
01:02:00,718 --> 01:02:02,033
[indistinct chatter]
992
01:02:02,110 --> 01:02:04,294
We have to take the children.
- No.
993
01:02:04,370 --> 01:02:06,112
They're gonna stay with us.
They're gonna stay with us.
994
01:02:06,114 --> 01:02:09,132
They're fine here.
- No, honey, no. Hey.
995
01:02:09,284 --> 01:02:10,784
It's gonna be okay.
We're gonna get 'em back.
996
01:02:10,786 --> 01:02:12,710
We're gonna get 'em back.
- No, it's not okay.
997
01:02:12,788 --> 01:02:15,713
It's okay, honey... Guys.
- It's not okay.
998
01:02:15,791 --> 01:02:18,233
Hey, we'll see you soon, okay?
999
01:02:18,310 --> 01:02:20,477
Be good. Be good boys.
1000
01:02:20,629 --> 01:02:23,155
[door buzzing]
1001
01:02:24,316 --> 01:02:27,242
[instrumental music]
1002
01:02:31,898 --> 01:02:33,564
[Michael] Oh, goodness,
look at her.
1003
01:02:33,584 --> 01:02:35,900
[Linda] Hi, baby.
1004
01:02:35,978 --> 01:02:39,496
Oh, sweetie. Oh, my goodness.
Oh, good to see you.
1005
01:02:39,572 --> 01:02:41,815
How'd you come up with it, pop?
- I moved some things around.
1006
01:02:41,817 --> 01:02:44,000
It's no big deal.
- No, he moved mountains.
1007
01:02:44,077 --> 01:02:46,077
Um...
- It's just money.
1008
01:02:46,096 --> 01:02:48,671
We gotta get to the custody
hearing, it's in 15 minutes.
1009
01:02:48,748 --> 01:02:50,657
No way we'll make it, sweetie.
- Well, not if we don't move.
1010
01:02:50,675 --> 01:02:52,934
Give me the keys.
- Okay.
1011
01:02:55,421 --> 01:02:56,438
Come on!
1012
01:02:58,275 --> 01:03:00,183
Upon the completion
of their physical
1013
01:03:00,260 --> 01:03:02,426
and psychiatric evaluations,
1014
01:03:02,446 --> 01:03:05,763
both McGuire children are
to be placed in the custody of--
1015
01:03:05,841 --> 01:03:08,950
Excuse me, excuse me!
- Bailiff!
1016
01:03:09,102 --> 01:03:12,529
[panting]
No, I'm-I'm their mother.
1017
01:03:12,605 --> 01:03:16,199
You're late, and you will ask
permission to address this court
1018
01:03:16,351 --> 01:03:17,775
or be sent out.
1019
01:03:17,853 --> 01:03:19,536
Permission to address the court,
Your Honor.
1020
01:03:19,612 --> 01:03:20,703
[judge] Do you have counsel?
1021
01:03:20,780 --> 01:03:23,873
No.
- Quickly.
1022
01:03:23,950 --> 01:03:27,027
[panting] I'm out on bail
for a crime I did not commit,
1023
01:03:27,045 --> 01:03:28,619
and my boys need their mother.
1024
01:03:28,697 --> 01:03:31,289
I have no, uh,
prior criminal history.
1025
01:03:31,366 --> 01:03:34,959
Ms. McGuire, this is
an emergency hearing,
1026
01:03:35,037 --> 01:03:37,720
and as such,
when you retain counsel,
1027
01:03:37,873 --> 01:03:40,390
you will have avenues
to contest my ruling.
1028
01:03:40,466 --> 01:03:44,635
Yes, but, Your Honor, I-I--
- I'm speaking, Ms. McGuire.
1029
01:03:44,713 --> 01:03:47,471
Now, given
the extraordinary gravity
1030
01:03:47,549 --> 01:03:49,640
of the criminal action
against you
1031
01:03:49,718 --> 01:03:52,661
and given the allegations
of child neglect
1032
01:03:52,737 --> 01:03:54,812
by family members
through their counsel,
1033
01:03:54,832 --> 01:03:59,225
the court has no other choice
but to revoke custody.
1034
01:03:59,227 --> 01:04:01,652
So at this time
the court hereby assigns
1035
01:04:01,672 --> 01:04:05,841
emergency sole guardianship
to Jack and Jason's aunt,
1036
01:04:05,917 --> 01:04:07,342
Ms. Cindy Ligosh.
1037
01:04:07,419 --> 01:04:09,845
[intense music]
1038
01:04:11,014 --> 01:04:12,138
Next case.
1039
01:04:14,926 --> 01:04:17,853
[indistinct chatter]
1040
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:22,916
[Melanie] Bill's sisters
are lying
1041
01:04:22,934 --> 01:04:24,250
to Family Services about me.
1042
01:04:24,252 --> 01:04:26,194
I can petition
for supervised visits,
1043
01:04:26,346 --> 01:04:27,988
but a social worker
has to be there.
1044
01:04:29,533 --> 01:04:30,657
Brad.
1045
01:04:33,095 --> 01:04:34,202
I'm here.
1046
01:04:36,522 --> 01:04:39,499
[Brad] Have you been watching
TV? They know about us.
1047
01:04:42,270 --> 01:04:46,047
It's all over the news.
Charla's not talking to me.
1048
01:04:46,124 --> 01:04:47,674
No surprise there.
1049
01:04:49,035 --> 01:04:51,778
The RMA fired me today.
1050
01:04:51,796 --> 01:04:54,639
Oh, Brad, uh, I'm so sorry.
1051
01:04:55,726 --> 01:04:57,967
The detectives called me.
1052
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:00,954
They wanna meet with me again.
- About what?
1053
01:05:00,956 --> 01:05:02,564
They think I'm your accomplice.
1054
01:05:02,715 --> 01:05:04,399
For something
that didn't happen?
1055
01:05:04,476 --> 01:05:06,793
I know, uh...
1056
01:05:06,795 --> 01:05:08,695
Yeah, they're just trying
to scare me.
1057
01:05:10,741 --> 01:05:13,483
They said on the day
you bought the gun,
1058
01:05:13,635 --> 01:05:16,636
we were on the phone
for a hundred minutes.
1059
01:05:16,655 --> 01:05:18,488
You know what that looks like?
1060
01:05:18,564 --> 01:05:20,081
Well, we did nothing wrong.
1061
01:05:22,586 --> 01:05:24,419
So you'd tell me, right?
1062
01:05:26,256 --> 01:05:27,647
I mean,
if you had anything to do with
1063
01:05:27,649 --> 01:05:29,341
what happened to Bill,
you'd tell me?
1064
01:05:30,669 --> 01:05:32,928
I already have.
1065
01:05:33,004 --> 01:05:34,578
Just say it again.
1066
01:05:34,656 --> 01:05:36,932
On my children's lives,
a thousand times over,
1067
01:05:37,008 --> 01:05:39,583
absolutely nothing.
1068
01:05:39,661 --> 01:05:43,605
I know. I know. Thank you.
1069
01:05:45,758 --> 01:05:48,259
What's going on?
1070
01:05:48,336 --> 01:05:50,946
Nothing. No, nothing.
1071
01:05:51,022 --> 01:05:53,339
[Brad] Sweetie, I just wanted
to hear it again.
1072
01:05:53,341 --> 01:05:55,742
I gotta go, okay? I'll-I'll
check in with you later.
1073
01:05:57,287 --> 01:06:00,121
[Melanie] I love you.
- I love you, too.
1074
01:06:05,203 --> 01:06:06,294
[clears throat]
1075
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:13,635
[Stanyan] Ah. I know what
you're thinking. Why me?
1076
01:06:13,712 --> 01:06:17,213
The easy answer is you're
the lover of a murder suspect,
1077
01:06:17,365 --> 01:06:18,956
who we believe had help.
1078
01:06:19,034 --> 01:06:21,959
But another way
to think of it is
1079
01:06:22,037 --> 01:06:23,979
you're in a position
to help her.
1080
01:06:24,055 --> 01:06:27,482
Could be we're way off.
What you get from her proves it.
1081
01:06:29,135 --> 01:06:30,318
You're way off.
1082
01:06:31,637 --> 01:06:33,655
I hope so, Dr. Miller.
1083
01:06:33,732 --> 01:06:34,990
I really do.
1084
01:06:42,907 --> 01:06:44,666
[instrumental music]
1085
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:46,793
Number two.
1086
01:06:48,747 --> 01:06:50,130
Ten dollars.
1087
01:06:55,345 --> 01:06:56,678
Thank you.
1088
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:04,185
[cell phone ringing]
1089
01:07:08,266 --> 01:07:11,276
Hello? Hi, yeah.
1090
01:07:12,512 --> 01:07:14,362
Yes. Thank you.
1091
01:07:21,446 --> 01:07:24,289
[dramatic music]
1092
01:07:29,713 --> 01:07:31,838
Come in. Come in.
1093
01:07:33,775 --> 01:07:36,051
Joe Tacopina.
Can I call you Melanie?
1094
01:07:36,127 --> 01:07:38,386
Please do.
- Please have a seat.
1095
01:07:38,463 --> 01:07:39,888
Thank you.
1096
01:07:41,783 --> 01:07:44,726
Can we get you anything?
Water? Coffee?
1097
01:07:44,803 --> 01:07:46,302
No, thank you.
1098
01:07:46,379 --> 01:07:48,379
I must say, you've got
quite the advocate
1099
01:07:48,398 --> 01:07:50,214
in Selene Trevizas.
1100
01:07:50,233 --> 01:07:51,808
She was relentless.
1101
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:54,552
Yeah, that's Selene,
uh, even when I told her
1102
01:07:54,629 --> 01:07:56,479
I couldn't possibly afford you.
1103
01:07:56,556 --> 01:07:59,890
Ah, let's not worry about that
now. We'll figure it out.
1104
01:07:59,910 --> 01:08:02,410
This is Stephen Turano,
he's licensed in New Jersey,
1105
01:08:02,487 --> 01:08:04,079
so he'll be my co-counsel.
1106
01:08:04,155 --> 01:08:06,915
Good to meet you.
- Hi.
1107
01:08:06,991 --> 01:08:10,493
What they're doing to you,
Melanie, is appalling.
1108
01:08:10,645 --> 01:08:12,736
Prosecutors are bullies,
1109
01:08:12,814 --> 01:08:17,166
but Prezioso
is her own sadistic breed.
1110
01:08:17,243 --> 01:08:20,095
Well, it's time she met me.
1111
01:08:20,171 --> 01:08:22,580
I tear bullies to shreds.
1112
01:08:22,657 --> 01:08:25,100
So let's get to work, shall we?
1113
01:08:25,994 --> 01:08:28,586
Yeah.
- Good.
1114
01:08:28,663 --> 01:08:31,180
Take me to the last time
you saw Bill McGuire.
1115
01:08:31,257 --> 01:08:35,001
Um, well, we had just closed
1116
01:08:35,003 --> 01:08:39,672
on the Warren County house.
I was ecstatic.
1117
01:08:39,691 --> 01:08:42,342
[Melanie] Bill, not so much, but
I was determined to celebrate,
1118
01:08:42,344 --> 01:08:46,103
so I opened up
a nice bottle of wine.
1119
01:08:46,123 --> 01:08:48,681
We finished it.
1120
01:08:48,683 --> 01:08:50,125
But it didn't relax Bill at all.
1121
01:08:50,201 --> 01:08:52,127
[Bill] Goddamn it!
She's unbelievable!
1122
01:08:52,203 --> 01:08:53,878
[clattering]
1123
01:08:56,466 --> 01:08:58,466
Bill. Bill.
1124
01:09:00,378 --> 01:09:01,553
Hey, calm...
1125
01:09:02,973 --> 01:09:04,472
[grunts]
1126
01:09:04,549 --> 01:09:06,532
It's 4:00 in the morning.
1127
01:09:06,534 --> 01:09:09,051
How many times have I said
I don't wanna see
1128
01:09:09,128 --> 01:09:11,554
dryer sheets in this house?
1129
01:09:11,706 --> 01:09:14,816
They're for lazy people! You
ever hear of fabric softener?
1130
01:09:15,801 --> 01:09:16,967
Oh, God.
1131
01:09:17,045 --> 01:09:19,379
Your problem is
you don't listen!
1132
01:09:19,381 --> 01:09:21,881
How many times did I say
I don't want this house?
1133
01:09:21,883 --> 01:09:24,384
Five-hundred-thousand dollars
is gonna wreck us!
1134
01:09:24,402 --> 01:09:26,161
What are you doing?
- I'm cleaning up.
1135
01:09:26,237 --> 01:09:28,905
Leave it!
1136
01:09:28,981 --> 01:09:30,999
Goddammit! I said leave it!
1137
01:09:31,075 --> 01:09:33,835
[indistinct yelling]
- Don't touch me! Don't...
1138
01:09:33,912 --> 01:09:35,728
Oh, you wanna clean it?
You wanna, you wanna clean it?
1139
01:09:35,730 --> 01:09:38,155
I got just the place for it.
How about this?
1140
01:09:38,233 --> 01:09:40,583
No.
- Open your mouth. Mm?
1141
01:09:40,660 --> 01:09:43,586
Yeah, just swallow. Exactly.
1142
01:09:43,663 --> 01:09:46,239
Good, right? Yeah, swallow.
1143
01:09:46,241 --> 01:09:48,257
No!
- Swallow.
1144
01:09:48,334 --> 01:09:50,143
[groans]
- Swallow it all the way.
1145
01:09:51,504 --> 01:09:52,762
[groans]
1146
01:09:52,914 --> 01:09:55,097
[coughs]
1147
01:09:55,250 --> 01:09:56,649
[Jason] Mommy?
1148
01:10:00,588 --> 01:10:01,863
Oh. Baby.
1149
01:10:01,940 --> 01:10:04,774
[indistinct chatter]
1150
01:10:04,926 --> 01:10:06,034
Come here.
1151
01:10:07,186 --> 01:10:08,494
No, it's okay.
1152
01:10:13,284 --> 01:10:15,025
Open the door.
1153
01:10:15,103 --> 01:10:17,954
[bangs]
- Open the goddamn door!
1154
01:10:18,030 --> 01:10:20,456
[Bill] Open the door!
1155
01:10:20,533 --> 01:10:22,775
[banging on door]
- [shushing]
1156
01:10:22,777 --> 01:10:25,703
It's all right. It's all right.
It's all right.
1157
01:10:25,780 --> 01:10:28,872
[Bill] Fine. I'm done with this.
1158
01:10:28,950 --> 01:10:32,134
Ah!
- I know, it's okay. It's okay.
1159
01:10:32,211 --> 01:10:34,971
That must've been very scary.
1160
01:10:35,047 --> 01:10:36,564
What happened next?
1161
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:41,627
[Melanie] We stayed
in the bathroom.
1162
01:10:41,646 --> 01:10:43,154
I could hear him packing.
1163
01:10:52,749 --> 01:10:54,249
[door opens]
1164
01:10:54,325 --> 01:10:56,158
Then I heard
the garage door open.
1165
01:10:56,235 --> 01:10:58,711
Right here. Shh, shh, shh...
1166
01:11:03,501 --> 01:11:05,009
[engine starts]
1167
01:11:07,079 --> 01:11:10,014
[engine revving]
1168
01:11:12,435 --> 01:11:14,769
He sped away.
1169
01:11:14,846 --> 01:11:17,355
And that's the last time
I ever saw him.
1170
01:11:20,926 --> 01:11:23,611
[Tacopina] Who do you think
killed your husband?
1171
01:11:23,688 --> 01:11:27,023
[sighs] I don't know.
1172
01:11:27,099 --> 01:11:29,784
I don't know, I'm sure
Bill had a long list of people
1173
01:11:29,861 --> 01:11:31,694
who he pissed off, I...
1174
01:11:31,846 --> 01:11:33,696
[Melanie] Maybe he owed
some bad guys money.
1175
01:11:33,848 --> 01:11:36,082
I don't know who did this
to my husband.
1176
01:11:38,019 --> 01:11:41,945
Let's turn to the days
immediately after he left.
1177
01:11:42,023 --> 01:11:44,540
Prezioso has
your E-ZPass records.
1178
01:11:44,617 --> 01:11:47,451
Uh, you drove to Atlantic City,
1179
01:11:47,529 --> 01:11:50,954
they say, to dump Bill's car.
1180
01:11:50,974 --> 01:11:53,699
It's okay, this is where we tell
her what she doesn't know
1181
01:11:53,701 --> 01:11:57,219
about that trip.
We can do that now, or--
1182
01:11:57,372 --> 01:11:59,647
No, no, I don't need any time,
it's just...
1183
01:12:00,966 --> 01:12:03,151
It's just embarrassing is all.
1184
01:12:03,302 --> 01:12:07,471
Not one of my finest moments.
Just dumb.
1185
01:12:07,490 --> 01:12:11,067
I went to Atlantic City
to look for Bill's car.
1186
01:12:11,219 --> 01:12:14,162
Once I found it,
I moved it with my spare key.
1187
01:12:17,725 --> 01:12:20,335
I drove it to another casino
few miles down the road.
1188
01:12:20,411 --> 01:12:24,230
You know, "Good luck
finding your car, you jerk."
1189
01:12:24,248 --> 01:12:27,008
But at the time, I, um...
1190
01:12:28,236 --> 01:12:30,828
I'd been taking Xanax.
1191
01:12:30,905 --> 01:12:32,847
I had taken a few that night.
1192
01:12:32,924 --> 01:12:35,758
I was in no condition
to be driving home.
1193
01:12:35,910 --> 01:12:37,352
So I took a cab home.
1194
01:12:39,263 --> 01:12:42,264
And then you took, uh,
another cab right back?
1195
01:12:42,341 --> 01:12:44,174
Yeah, well, by the time
I got back to Woodbridge,
1196
01:12:44,252 --> 01:12:45,843
I was feelin' better.
1197
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:49,772
And I needed my car,
so I went back for it.
1198
01:12:49,849 --> 01:12:53,183
Just so we're clear, that's
another two hours in a cab,
1199
01:12:53,261 --> 01:12:54,610
for a total of four hours,
1200
01:12:54,687 --> 01:12:57,930
the combined fares
close to, what, $500?
1201
01:12:57,932 --> 01:13:00,933
Yeah.
- For a prank?
1202
01:13:00,952 --> 01:13:02,710
For my hide-a-car revenge, yes.
1203
01:13:04,622 --> 01:13:07,882
I mean, I'd done it before.
1204
01:13:07,959 --> 01:13:11,444
I could tell you a better story,
but it wouldn't be true.
1205
01:13:11,462 --> 01:13:13,129
You also called E-ZPass billing
1206
01:13:13,281 --> 01:13:15,281
to try to get the charges erased
on this trip.
1207
01:13:15,283 --> 01:13:18,208
Right. After they started
investigating me.
1208
01:13:18,286 --> 01:13:20,210
Pfft. I was worried
how it'd make me look.
1209
01:13:20,288 --> 01:13:22,397
Oh. No kidding.
1210
01:13:24,049 --> 01:13:27,217
Stephen, let's remember,
1211
01:13:27,295 --> 01:13:30,296
they have the burden of proof,
not us.
1212
01:13:30,298 --> 01:13:33,482
Their story has to be perfect,
not hers.
1213
01:13:33,559 --> 01:13:35,576
Know what our client is?
1214
01:13:35,728 --> 01:13:37,637
Consistent.
1215
01:13:37,639 --> 01:13:40,322
A year's worth of police
transcripts and recordings,
1216
01:13:40,475 --> 01:13:42,750
and she never wavers.
1217
01:13:42,902 --> 01:13:46,754
That tells a jury she's honest.
- [scoffs]
1218
01:13:46,831 --> 01:13:50,258
Hell, uh, even her boyfriend
couldn't shake her.
1219
01:13:50,835 --> 01:13:52,051
Janice.
1220
01:13:57,767 --> 01:14:00,584
[Melanie on recording]
Well, we did nothing wrong.
1221
01:14:00,662 --> 01:14:02,586
[Brad on recording] So you'd
tell me, right? I mean...
1222
01:14:02,605 --> 01:14:04,254
If you had anything to do
with what happened to Bill...
1223
01:14:04,274 --> 01:14:06,566
You'd tell me.
- [Melanie] I already have.
1224
01:14:08,169 --> 01:14:09,944
[Brad] Say it again.
1225
01:14:10,021 --> 01:14:12,171
[Melanie] On my children's
lives, a thousand times over,
1226
01:14:12,173 --> 01:14:14,115
absolutely nothing.
1227
01:14:17,954 --> 01:14:21,697
Are you okay, Melanie?
Can we get you a-a water?
1228
01:14:21,774 --> 01:14:24,625
[intense music]
1229
01:14:30,374 --> 01:14:32,133
[dramatic music]
1230
01:14:48,133 --> 01:14:51,210
A wiretap, ladies and gentlemen,
1231
01:14:51,212 --> 01:14:56,065
is a weapon of choice
for lazy prosecutors.
1232
01:14:56,141 --> 01:15:00,386
[Tacopina] In my client's case,
detectives used Dr. Miller
1233
01:15:00,404 --> 01:15:02,997
to question her by proxy,
1234
01:15:03,148 --> 01:15:06,650
forcing the man she trusted most
1235
01:15:06,728 --> 01:15:10,079
to catch her
at her most vulnerable,
1236
01:15:10,155 --> 01:15:13,582
without the benefit of counsel.
1237
01:15:13,735 --> 01:15:18,571
Remember, Ms. Prezioso
maintains, without evidence,
1238
01:15:18,589 --> 01:15:20,906
that Dr. Miller was Melanie's
1239
01:15:20,908 --> 01:15:23,684
entire motive
for killing her husband.
1240
01:15:23,761 --> 01:15:26,521
And yet I ask you,
1241
01:15:26,597 --> 01:15:29,431
where on those many tapes
1242
01:15:29,584 --> 01:15:32,843
recorded during
raw and intimate moments
1243
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:36,364
does my client admit
or even imply,
1244
01:15:36,440 --> 01:15:38,924
she had anything to do
1245
01:15:38,943 --> 01:15:41,369
with Bill McGuire's death?
1246
01:15:42,947 --> 01:15:45,188
Nowhere.
1247
01:15:45,208 --> 01:15:47,266
Even as Dr. Miller
1248
01:15:47,268 --> 01:15:51,361
pressed her over and over
for the confession
1249
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:55,274
Ms. Prezioso
so desperately wanted...
1250
01:15:55,276 --> 01:15:59,036
While Dr. Miller was making
those recordings,
1251
01:15:59,113 --> 01:16:02,298
he was still seeing my client.
1252
01:16:02,450 --> 01:16:06,285
He was still trusting her,
he was still loving her,
1253
01:16:06,287 --> 01:16:09,897
despite everything these
detectives were telling him.
1254
01:16:11,717 --> 01:16:15,978
Those recordings
only exonerate my client.
1255
01:16:16,055 --> 01:16:20,649
They show the true,
the unguarded Melanie McGuire.
1256
01:16:20,726 --> 01:16:23,411
Imperfect? Yes.
1257
01:16:23,487 --> 01:16:28,324
Seeking refuge from a cruel
and violent husband...
1258
01:16:28,476 --> 01:16:31,160
[indistinct yelling]
- Don't touch me! Don't...
1259
01:16:31,236 --> 01:16:33,421
But a depraved killer?
1260
01:16:33,497 --> 01:16:34,714
No way.
1261
01:16:35,666 --> 01:16:36,674
Never.
1262
01:16:37,910 --> 01:16:39,910
So let's be done with all this.
1263
01:16:39,929 --> 01:16:44,323
We can grieve the victim,
and we absolutely should.
1264
01:16:44,325 --> 01:16:47,250
But, members of the jury,
I ask you,
1265
01:16:47,328 --> 01:16:51,022
end this persecution
of an innocent woman.
1266
01:16:52,683 --> 01:16:56,018
Melanie McGuire is not guilty
1267
01:16:56,170 --> 01:16:58,261
of this crime.
1268
01:16:58,339 --> 01:17:01,598
Allow her to get on
with her life.
1269
01:17:01,676 --> 01:17:06,287
Allow her to go home
to her children.
1270
01:17:08,791 --> 01:17:10,124
Thank you.
1271
01:17:29,312 --> 01:17:31,128
I gotta be honest,
1272
01:17:31,205 --> 01:17:35,724
keeping up with the defendant's
fantastical account
1273
01:17:35,877 --> 01:17:39,728
over the past two years
has been a full-time job.
1274
01:17:39,805 --> 01:17:41,471
But, thankfully,
1275
01:17:41,549 --> 01:17:44,808
she can't lie her way
out of DNA.
1276
01:17:44,827 --> 01:17:49,054
Can't spin the human sawdust
she tracked into Bill's car
1277
01:17:49,073 --> 01:17:52,057
after cutting him to pieces.
1278
01:17:52,076 --> 01:17:53,834
You need nothing more
to convict her,
1279
01:17:53,911 --> 01:17:57,487
but there's even more,
1280
01:17:57,565 --> 01:17:58,989
and you have it in abundance,
1281
01:17:59,066 --> 01:18:02,927
starting with the fact
that there was no fight.
1282
01:18:07,074 --> 01:18:10,500
In the early hours
of April 28th, 2004,
1283
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:12,687
there was no fight.
1284
01:18:12,838 --> 01:18:15,189
No, Bill never sped off
in his car.
1285
01:18:15,340 --> 01:18:18,609
No, instead,
he lay in a stupor...
1286
01:18:20,679 --> 01:18:22,771
from the chloral hydrate
1287
01:18:22,848 --> 01:18:25,282
that the autopsy found
in his bloodstream.
1288
01:18:26,852 --> 01:18:28,536
Incapacitated...
1289
01:18:30,765 --> 01:18:34,450
by the date-rape drug
that Melanie used to poison him.
1290
01:18:34,526 --> 01:18:37,294
[intense music]
1291
01:18:39,031 --> 01:18:42,291
What happened next took two days
1292
01:18:42,367 --> 01:18:46,345
and it, it is not
for the faint of heart.
1293
01:18:47,890 --> 01:18:49,890
[gunshots]
1294
01:18:51,561 --> 01:18:53,877
[intense music]
1295
01:18:53,896 --> 01:18:55,896
[machine whirring]
1296
01:18:55,973 --> 01:18:58,899
[music continues]
1297
01:18:58,976 --> 01:19:01,736
[machine whirring]
1298
01:19:04,966 --> 01:19:06,966
A seven-hour drive, now just
1299
01:19:06,968 --> 01:19:08,634
think about that,
ladies and gentlemen.
1300
01:19:08,636 --> 01:19:10,970
[Patti] Seven hours in a car
1301
01:19:10,988 --> 01:19:14,064
with her husband
stuffed into suitcases
1302
01:19:14,141 --> 01:19:16,250
in the back of her SUV.
1303
01:19:22,091 --> 01:19:24,258
Did she reflect in horror
on what she had done?
1304
01:19:24,335 --> 01:19:27,595
Uh, show any remorse whatsoever?
1305
01:19:27,671 --> 01:19:30,489
No, her actions tell us
that she did not,
1306
01:19:30,491 --> 01:19:34,176
because Melanie's last act
that night
1307
01:19:34,328 --> 01:19:37,021
was to throw out
the father of her children...
1308
01:19:38,666 --> 01:19:40,566
like she was throwing out
the trash.
1309
01:19:42,261 --> 01:19:44,028
[water splashes]
1310
01:19:47,432 --> 01:19:50,767
[Devesa] Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,
1311
01:19:50,845 --> 01:19:54,029
the defense and the prosecution
have rested.
1312
01:19:54,106 --> 01:19:56,015
You've heard my instructions.
1313
01:19:56,017 --> 01:19:59,293
You're hereby dismissed
to begin deliberations.
1314
01:19:59,370 --> 01:20:00,795
Please follow the bailiff.
1315
01:20:00,871 --> 01:20:01,962
[gavel bangs]
1316
01:20:03,190 --> 01:20:05,357
So?
1317
01:20:05,359 --> 01:20:07,301
They're drowning
in reasonable doubt.
1318
01:20:07,378 --> 01:20:09,711
Acquittal, no question.
1319
01:20:09,788 --> 01:20:12,473
[intense music]
1320
01:20:21,725 --> 01:20:22,942
[instrumental music]
1321
01:20:28,399 --> 01:20:30,974
Hi, Melanie.
1322
01:20:31,052 --> 01:20:32,326
Alice Davis.
Thank you for having us.
1323
01:20:32,403 --> 01:20:33,786
Yeah. Of course.
1324
01:20:36,815 --> 01:20:40,167
I just hope the jury does
the right thing for Billy.
1325
01:20:40,319 --> 01:20:44,246
[Cindy] Patti has fought
so hard for him,
1326
01:20:44,323 --> 01:20:47,508
for us, for justice.
1327
01:20:47,585 --> 01:20:49,326
[man] And we're rolling.
1328
01:20:49,403 --> 01:20:52,662
It's day two
of jury deliberations.
1329
01:20:52,740 --> 01:20:56,408
You're out on bail,
a free woman,
1330
01:20:56,410 --> 01:21:00,104
staring at the very real
prospect of life in prison.
1331
01:21:02,174 --> 01:21:04,341
The waiting must be--
- Agony.
1332
01:21:04,418 --> 01:21:07,436
Yeah.
- What's going through your mind?
1333
01:21:07,512 --> 01:21:09,530
Patti told a good story.
1334
01:21:09,681 --> 01:21:11,532
Hell, if it were a movie,
I'd watch it.
1335
01:21:11,609 --> 01:21:15,260
Melanie has been lying about
my brother for two years,
1336
01:21:15,262 --> 01:21:17,371
and now this trial
has been seven weeks
1337
01:21:17,448 --> 01:21:20,023
of nothing but lies, lies, lies.
1338
01:21:20,101 --> 01:21:22,877
And it's time for a verdict of
guilty to finally shut her up.
1339
01:21:24,271 --> 01:21:25,862
Joe Tacopina told a story--
1340
01:21:25,882 --> 01:21:27,456
He told the truth.
1341
01:21:27,608 --> 01:21:29,699
A version that, quite frankly,
many people
1342
01:21:29,777 --> 01:21:32,535
are having trouble believing.
1343
01:21:32,613 --> 01:21:34,963
Well, let's hope the 12 people
who matter the most
1344
01:21:35,116 --> 01:21:37,057
are smarter than that.
1345
01:21:37,134 --> 01:21:40,636
I feel most for her parents,
Linda and Michael,
1346
01:21:40,712 --> 01:21:42,121
who I've always adored.
1347
01:21:42,123 --> 01:21:44,957
She's put them
in an impossible position.
1348
01:21:44,959 --> 01:21:47,476
What kind of a person
doesn't search
1349
01:21:47,628 --> 01:21:49,811
for the missing father
of her children?
1350
01:21:49,888 --> 01:21:53,632
Even with all of our problems,
I desperately wanted Bill
1351
01:21:53,651 --> 01:21:58,470
to be found safe and alive.
1352
01:21:58,472 --> 01:22:00,989
For weeks after Billy vanished,
I begged,
1353
01:22:01,066 --> 01:22:04,643
begged her to go with me
to Atlantic City,
1354
01:22:04,645 --> 01:22:07,162
to pressure the police there,
to make phone calls
1355
01:22:07,239 --> 01:22:10,841
to anyone who knew him
to help us.
1356
01:22:12,577 --> 01:22:14,169
She refused.
1357
01:22:14,246 --> 01:22:16,579
And that told me everything.
1358
01:22:16,657 --> 01:22:19,841
It should tell you everything,
too. Thank you.
1359
01:22:19,918 --> 01:22:23,253
Finally, let me ask you
about Dr. Miller.
1360
01:22:23,330 --> 01:22:26,515
He assisted
in the effort to convict you.
1361
01:22:26,667 --> 01:22:30,260
Do you hold it against him?
- No. No, they threatened him.
1362
01:22:30,337 --> 01:22:32,947
And he knew
I couldn't incriminate myself.
1363
01:22:33,098 --> 01:22:35,598
If you could do it
all over again,
1364
01:22:35,676 --> 01:22:38,601
would you still have the affair?
1365
01:22:38,679 --> 01:22:40,287
I don't know.
1366
01:22:40,364 --> 01:22:41,956
Do you still love him?
1367
01:22:42,458 --> 01:22:43,749
I did.
1368
01:22:45,777 --> 01:22:48,111
What do you think
happened to Bill?
1369
01:22:48,189 --> 01:22:50,297
Do you really think
he ran afoul of the mob?
1370
01:22:50,374 --> 01:22:52,782
I mean, it certainly fits.
1371
01:22:52,860 --> 01:22:54,134
Got money on the street in AC,
1372
01:22:54,211 --> 01:22:57,262
that's how you get bullets
here and here.
1373
01:22:59,475 --> 01:23:02,643
[Alice] Now, regardless
of the verdict,
1374
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:06,480
when this program airs,
viewers are going to hear
1375
01:23:06,557 --> 01:23:10,317
claims from you that
are impossible to corroborate.
1376
01:23:10,469 --> 01:23:12,611
Why should our audience
trust you?
1377
01:23:15,399 --> 01:23:17,574
I have no control over that.
1378
01:23:18,977 --> 01:23:20,995
But I know that I'm innocent.
1379
01:23:26,393 --> 01:23:27,334
Thank you.
1380
01:23:28,820 --> 01:23:30,421
Thank you, everyone. We're done.
1381
01:23:32,324 --> 01:23:33,507
Yeah.
1382
01:23:35,678 --> 01:23:37,736
You know, I'm sure
that you get this a lot,
1383
01:23:37,755 --> 01:23:40,305
but you have
an incredible smile.
1384
01:23:41,833 --> 01:23:43,517
Uh, Bill used to say that to me.
1385
01:23:43,594 --> 01:23:47,521
"A thousand watts
of blinding light," he'd say.
1386
01:23:53,195 --> 01:23:56,113
[intense music]
1387
01:24:14,383 --> 01:24:17,384
[music continues]
1388
01:24:21,724 --> 01:24:24,558
[intense music]
1389
01:24:28,622 --> 01:24:31,899
Ladies and gentlemen,
the jury has reached a verdict.
1390
01:24:35,404 --> 01:24:38,572
I know there will be strong
feelings of both agreement...
1391
01:24:40,576 --> 01:24:42,301
and disagreement.
1392
01:24:42,303 --> 01:24:45,562
But outbursts
will not be tolerated.
1393
01:24:45,639 --> 01:24:48,990
Clerk Hacker, you may proceed.
1394
01:24:49,143 --> 01:24:52,402
Mr. Foreman, how do you find as
to the count of the indictment
1395
01:24:52,479 --> 01:24:55,905
charging Melanie McGuire with
the murder of William McGuire
1396
01:24:55,983 --> 01:24:58,592
on or about April 28th, 2004,
1397
01:24:58,743 --> 01:25:01,336
in the jurisdiction
of Woodbridge,
1398
01:25:01,413 --> 01:25:03,097
Middlesex County, New Jersey?
1399
01:25:06,176 --> 01:25:08,268
[intense music]
1400
01:25:09,921 --> 01:25:13,440
We, the jury
finds Melanie McGuire...
1401
01:25:13,517 --> 01:25:16,443
[music continues]
1402
01:25:18,430 --> 01:25:20,021
guilty on all charges.
1403
01:25:20,174 --> 01:25:21,690
[sobbing]
1404
01:25:21,766 --> 01:25:24,601
[instrumental music]
1405
01:25:24,620 --> 01:25:26,286
[Melanie sobbing]
1406
01:25:33,370 --> 01:25:36,130
[indistinct chatter]
1407
01:25:36,799 --> 01:25:38,707
[sobbing]
1408
01:25:38,783 --> 01:25:40,467
[indistinct chatter]
1409
01:25:45,957 --> 01:25:48,142
My babies.
- [indistinct chatter]
1410
01:25:49,536 --> 01:25:51,103
My babies...
1411
01:25:52,297 --> 01:25:55,232
[music continues]
1412
01:26:22,344 --> 01:26:25,304
