00:08:40,386 --> 00:08:42,569
Yeah, she called me
the second she found out
182
00:08:42,605 --> 00:08:45,050
- her daughter was pregnant.
- Wait, how far along is Ellie?
183
00:08:45,086 --> 00:08:46,693
Well, according to her doctor,
184
00:08:46,730 --> 00:08:51,611
the baby was conceived
between 16 and 18 weeks ago.
185
00:08:51,701 --> 00:08:53,450
OK, well, that...
that would have been
186
00:08:53,486 --> 00:08:54,822
the end of our road trip, so...
187
00:08:54,858 --> 00:08:57,121
Chrissy, let me and
your lawyer do the talking.
188
00:08:57,157 --> 00:08:59,428
As far as I know, Laura Hughes
189
00:08:59,465 --> 00:09:00,898
is still Ellie's legal guardian.
190
00:09:00,934 --> 00:09:02,251
- Is she not?
- You're right.
191
00:09:02,287 --> 00:09:04,460
Why the hell can't
she agree to a DNA test?
192
00:09:04,497 --> 00:09:08,214
We need you to petition
the court for fetal DNA.
193
00:09:08,798 --> 00:09:10,815
We might be willing to discuss
194
00:09:10,851 --> 00:09:11,969
some sort of arrangement.
195
00:09:12,005 --> 00:09:13,845
An arrangement?
Oh.
196
00:09:14,942 --> 00:09:16,306
What did you have in mind?
197
00:09:16,343 --> 00:09:19,059
You get that judge who framed me
198
00:09:19,381 --> 00:09:21,130
to reconsider my sentencing.
199
00:09:21,166 --> 00:09:22,562
What are you hoping for?
200
00:09:22,940 --> 00:09:24,550
Early parole.
201
00:09:26,133 --> 00:09:29,404
Well, let's see if we
can talk to the judge.
202
00:09:29,652 --> 00:09:31,009
So we're gonna let him believe
203
00:09:31,045 --> 00:09:32,969
we're going along with
that early parole request?
204
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,242
I don't really care what he
believes as long as it gets us,
205
00:09:36,305 --> 00:09:38,649
you know, one step closer to justice
206
00:09:38,686 --> 00:09:41,164
- for Ellie and this baby.
- OK.
207
00:09:41,403 --> 00:09:43,833
I see why this strikes a nerve in you.
208
00:09:43,921 --> 00:09:45,277
What does that mean?
209
00:09:45,407 --> 00:09:47,253
You want me to spell it out?
210
00:09:48,584 --> 00:09:50,724
You want me to just go
back in there like the old days
211
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,291
and knock some sense into Chris?
212
00:09:52,327 --> 00:09:53,531
'Cause believe me, I will.
213
00:09:53,567 --> 00:09:55,620
I really don't need to
look for a new sergeant.
214
00:09:55,656 --> 00:09:57,927
Hey, get the car, will you?
215
00:09:57,964 --> 00:09:59,249
I'll meet you there.
216
00:10:00,418 --> 00:10:02,060
Mrs. Becker.
217
00:10:02,990 --> 00:10:04,354
What do you want?
218
00:10:04,391 --> 00:10:07,053
Well, I understand that
you've been talking to Laura.
219
00:10:07,176 --> 00:10:09,493
Not that it is any of your business,
220
00:10:09,530 --> 00:10:12,487
but we're gonna
co-parent as grandmothers.
221
00:10:12,524 --> 00:10:14,875
You know, I just wanted
to make sure that you've
222
00:10:14,991 --> 00:10:16,489
actually thought it through.
223
00:10:16,525 --> 00:10:18,970
Of course, I have. It's
Chris and Ellie's child.
224
00:10:19,006 --> 00:10:20,603
Laura and I have it all figured out.
225
00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:22,117
Oh, I just wanted to make sure
226
00:10:22,153 --> 00:10:25,294
that you were aware
that Laura is unemployed
227
00:10:25,331 --> 00:10:28,298
and that she had quit
her job to take care of Ellie,
228
00:10:28,335 --> 00:10:30,991
and she's living off her
deceased husband's pension.
229
00:10:31,045 --> 00:10:33,383
- It's a fixed income.
- Yeah, so?
230
00:10:34,233 --> 00:10:38,250
Well, you work part-time
in a beauty salon, right?
231
00:10:38,317 --> 00:10:39,712
- Yeah.
- OK, well,
232
00:10:39,749 --> 00:10:41,775
child support in the state of New York
233
00:10:41,811 --> 00:10:46,521
is 17% of the custodial
parent's gross income.
234
00:10:46,604 --> 00:10:48,999
Your son is gonna be
in prison for 25 years.
235
00:10:49,036 --> 00:10:53,278
So who do you think is
gonna have to pay that 17%?
236
00:10:53,823 --> 00:10:57,615
So, Mrs. Becker, we know
that this child is Ellie's baby.
237
00:10:57,737 --> 00:10:59,701
What we don't know yet
238
00:11:00,097 --> 00:11:02,716
is whether or not it's Chris's.
239
00:11:03,381 --> 00:11:06,256
Are you really willing to
spend that kind of money
240
00:11:06,483 --> 00:11:10,670
on a child that may
not even be your blood?
241
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,079
So how'd that go?
242
00:11:15,108 --> 00:11:18,423
Never underestimate
the power cash has
243
00:11:18,460 --> 00:11:20,555
to affect a person's morality.
244
00:11:20,668 --> 00:11:22,502
Isn't Chris the one
that has to petition
245
00:11:22,538 --> 00:11:23,948
the judge for fetal DNA?
246
00:11:23,984 --> 00:11:27,228
Yeah, but I think
Virginia will convince him.
247
00:11:27,305 --> 00:11:30,565
Now, all I have to do is talk to Laura.
248
00:11:30,991 --> 00:11:33,653
We talked to some of
the nurses in the trauma unit
249
00:11:33,689 --> 00:11:35,699
who remembered
Ellie having half a dozen
250
00:11:35,735 --> 00:11:38,310
male visitors during her
month-long stay there.
251
00:11:38,346 --> 00:11:40,443
One was her uncle
on her mother's side,
252
00:11:40,479 --> 00:11:43,011
a few friends from college,
and a couple collaborators
253
00:11:43,047 --> 00:11:44,662
from the social media world.
254
00:11:44,699 --> 00:11:48,321
All cooperated, gave DNA,
and the lab's got the samples.
255
00:11:48,358 --> 00:11:50,044
OK, well, might as well keep going.
256
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,124
What do you mean?
257
00:11:51,161 --> 00:11:52,649
Well, it can't hurt to get a list
258
00:11:52,685 --> 00:11:54,885
of all the male employees
who worked in the trauma unit
259
00:11:54,921 --> 00:11:56,111
when Ellie was there.
260
00:11:56,147 --> 00:11:58,697
I'll call the hospital, let
them know you're coming.
261
00:11:58,975 --> 00:12:01,333
So, how'd it go at Greenhaven?
262
00:12:01,579 --> 00:12:04,224
Benson's taking
this a little personal.
263
00:12:05,765 --> 00:12:07,557
Is there more to the story?
264
00:12:07,850 --> 00:12:09,750
Don't look at me.
I got a call to make.
265
00:12:10,053 --> 00:12:12,874
Let's just say the Captain's
going that extra mile,
266
00:12:12,910 --> 00:12:15,568
for reasons that are
none of our business.
267
00:12:18,178 --> 00:12:20,188
You know what that
means, don't you, Detective?
268
00:12:20,224 --> 00:12:22,879
Yeah, we should
stop asking questions.
269
00:12:25,219 --> 00:12:27,501
- Laura.
- Oh, Captain Benson.
270
00:12:27,538 --> 00:12:28,873
What are you doing here?
271
00:12:28,910 --> 00:12:30,094
It's past visiting hours.
272
00:12:30,130 --> 00:12:32,487
- I'm here as a courtesy.
- Oh, for what?
273
00:12:32,636 --> 00:12:33,994
Well, I wanted to let you know
274
00:12:34,030 --> 00:12:37,514
that Chris Becker
has petitioned the court
275
00:12:37,551 --> 00:12:39,640
to get a fetal DNA sample.
276
00:12:40,913 --> 00:12:43,930
Virginia didn't mention that.
She would have called me.
277
00:12:44,064 --> 00:12:48,685
I think Virginia is a little
more pragmatic than you think.
278
00:12:48,893 --> 00:12:50,469
What are you talking about?
279
00:12:50,505 --> 00:12:53,225
Well, I think that
before she commits to
280
00:12:53,262 --> 00:12:56,651
the responsibility of
co-parenting this child with you,
281
00:12:56,688 --> 00:12:58,927
that she wants to make sure,
282
00:12:58,963 --> 00:13:01,077
that it is indeed her grandchild.
283
00:13:01,116 --> 00:13:02,203
Who else's could it be?
284
00:13:02,239 --> 00:13:04,614
I was with her the whole time
she was in the trauma unit.
285
00:13:04,650 --> 00:13:06,077
I never left her side.
286
00:13:06,114 --> 00:13:08,103
But there had to be
times when you,
287
00:13:08,139 --> 00:13:10,106
you know, went home to shower,
288
00:13:10,142 --> 00:13:11,606
or sleep or,
289
00:13:11,642 --> 00:13:13,249
you know, get something to eat.
290
00:13:13,286 --> 00:13:14,610
You think someone took
advantage of my daughter
291
00:13:14,646 --> 00:13:16,446
- because I left her alone?
- No, no.
292
00:13:16,531 --> 00:13:18,194
Laura, I'm not saying that.
293
00:13:18,452 --> 00:13:20,800
I'm not blaming you.
294
00:13:21,752 --> 00:13:23,840
I think that somebody may have
295
00:13:23,877 --> 00:13:25,184
taken advantage of your daughter
296
00:13:25,220 --> 00:13:27,390

297
00:13:28,456 --> 00:13:30,422
And if that's what happened,
298
00:13:30,458 --> 00:13:32,603
he may still be out there.
299
00:13:33,693 --> 00:13:37,444
Laura, we need to get a DNA test.
300
00:13:37,770 --> 00:13:39,970

the baby is Chris's.

came from a rape?

we didn't miss anyone who was fired
533
00:24:08,442 --> 00:24:09,783
or quit within the time frame.
534
00:24:09,819 --> 00:24:12,150
Time to check the visitor
logs from the entire floor?
535
00:24:12,186 --> 00:24:14,336
I don't think that
this is a random visitor.
536
00:24:14,377 --> 00:24:16,735
Ellie's mother was
there 90% of the time.
537
00:24:16,772 --> 00:24:18,607
OK, so it had to be someone who
538
00:24:18,644 --> 00:24:20,919
was around enough to notice
when Laura was out of the room.
539
00:24:20,955 --> 00:24:22,401
There is someone we missed,
540
00:24:22,437 --> 00:24:24,453
and he probably knows
that floor better than anyone.
541
00:24:24,489 --> 00:24:26,799
- Who?
- Ellie's crusty neurosurgeon.
542
00:24:26,836 --> 00:24:28,754
Yeah, he managed to
avoid giving us a sample.
543
00:24:28,790 --> 00:24:31,679
Hold on.
The chief of neurosurgery,
544
00:24:32,367 --> 00:24:33,596
Isaac Haimes?
545
00:24:33,633 --> 00:24:35,991
Yes, I met this guy.
546
00:24:36,126 --> 00:24:37,935
Well, anything's possible.
547
00:24:38,108 --> 00:24:39,345
Yeah, I talked to him,
548
00:24:39,514 --> 00:24:41,856
when Ellie was first
admitted to the trauma unit.
549
00:24:41,892 --> 00:24:43,233
When we were trying to swab him,
550
00:24:43,269 --> 00:24:44,966
and he said he was headed to surgery
551
00:24:45,002 --> 00:24:46,094
and that we should come back
552
00:24:46,130 --> 00:24:47,404
- in 8 to 12 hours.
- Oh, did he?
553
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,322
Well, he's not the only
busy one in New York City.
554
00:24:50,361 --> 00:24:51,514
Well, do you want us
to go back to the hospital
555
00:24:51,550 --> 00:24:52,454
- and follow up?
- No.
556
00:24:52,491 --> 00:24:54,159
I will do that myself.
557
00:24:57,590 --> 00:24:58,908
There, you happy now?
558
00:24:58,945 --> 00:25:01,709
When it comes back
without a match, I will be.
559
00:25:02,394 --> 00:25:04,481
Look, you didn't have
to give my detectives
560
00:25:04,517 --> 00:25:05,757
such a rough time.
561
00:25:05,793 --> 00:25:07,871
I'm sorry.
A traumatic brain injury
562
00:25:07,908 --> 00:25:09,842
took precedence over your caseload.
563
00:25:09,879 --> 00:25:12,386
I understand that you
have a demanding schedule,
564
00:25:12,486 --> 00:25:13,805
but, you know, on my way over here,
565
00:25:13,841 --> 00:25:15,840
I was looking at
your visitation records
566
00:25:15,877 --> 00:25:17,179
during the time Ellie was here.
567
00:25:17,215 --> 00:25:18,684
- And?
- And...
568
00:25:18,723 --> 00:25:21,189
And you found the
time to visit Ellie...
569
00:25:21,259 --> 00:25:22,312
A lot.
570
00:25:22,583 --> 00:25:24,940
She was my patient.
Of course, I visited her.
571
00:25:24,977 --> 00:25:26,681
But over 12 times?
572
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,695
And this was after you
made the recommendation
573
00:25:29,732 --> 00:25:32,865
to take Ellie off life support?
574
00:25:33,667 --> 00:25:34,850
What was that about?
575
00:25:34,887 --> 00:25:36,952
Captain, I'm not guilty of rape.
576
00:25:37,076 --> 00:25:38,496
You'll see that when
you get the results
577
00:25:38,532 --> 00:25:39,622
of that swab you just took.
578
00:25:39,658 --> 00:25:40,998
So why did you visit her?
579
00:25:41,171 --> 00:25:42,544
To be honest...
580
00:25:43,115 --> 00:25:45,465
You got in my head.
581
00:25:46,973 --> 00:25:49,810
I visited Ellie to see
if she was capable
582
00:25:49,939 --> 00:25:52,217
of the response we talked about,
583
00:25:52,744 --> 00:25:55,102
communicating by
squeezing someone's hand.
584
00:25:55,529 --> 00:25:56,930
And?
585
00:25:57,226 --> 00:25:59,183
She never squeezed my hand.
586
00:26:00,316 --> 00:26:03,062
But, at least it got me thinking.
587
00:26:03,748 --> 00:26:04,937
About what?
588
00:26:05,098 --> 00:26:06,899
Bigger things.
589
00:26:07,035 --> 00:26:09,651
The human soul, I suppose.
590
00:26:10,404 --> 00:26:12,946
I even asked the
youth pastor about Ellie.
591
00:26:13,426 --> 00:26:15,801
He always seemed to be
spending time with Laura.
592
00:26:16,332 --> 00:26:17,701
Doing what exactly?
593
00:26:17,738 --> 00:26:20,496
Trying to convert her.
Seems like it worked.
594
00:26:20,728 --> 00:26:22,289
Paging Dr. Haimes.
595
00:26:23,557 --> 00:26:27,419
The two of them were always
praying together over Ellie.
596
00:26:27,953 --> 00:26:29,630
A lot of good that did.

The youth pastor?
599
00:26:38,395 --> 00:26:40,647
You're talking about Caleb Hartwell.
600
00:26:40,684 --> 00:26:42,709
Mm-hmm.
What can you tell me about him?
601
00:26:42,809 --> 00:26:44,770
He helped me find my faith again.
602
00:26:45,230 --> 00:26:47,147
Yeah, I grew up in a religious home
603
00:26:47,184 --> 00:26:48,525
- when I was a kid.
- Right.
604
00:26:48,561 --> 00:26:50,944
At some point in my teens,
I had a falling out with God.
605
00:26:50,980 --> 00:26:52,380
I understand.
606
00:26:52,417 --> 00:26:54,696
And Caleb helped
me find my way back.
607
00:26:55,233 --> 00:26:56,293
Yeah.
608
00:26:56,329 --> 00:26:59,248
So I wanted to ask
you a delicate question.
609
00:26:59,368 --> 00:27:01,497
Was, was Caleb ever
610
00:27:01,533 --> 00:27:03,747
alone in the room with Ellie?
611
00:27:03,804 --> 00:27:05,082
Why?
612
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:06,381
Well, because...
613
00:27:06,765 --> 00:27:08,347
Well, we DNA-tested
614
00:27:08,384 --> 00:27:11,873
all the male employees
that worked in the trauma unit
615
00:27:11,909 --> 00:27:13,745
during the time that Ellie was there
616
00:27:13,781 --> 00:27:15,051
and all of her visitors,
617
00:27:15,087 --> 00:27:17,761
and there were no paternal matches.
618
00:27:17,798 --> 00:27:19,638
You don't think it was my pastor?
619
00:27:19,675 --> 00:27:22,432
Well, we don't think
that it was a random visitor
620
00:27:22,469 --> 00:27:23,976
or somebody off the street.
621
00:27:24,013 --> 00:27:25,270
I mean, you were there so much,
622
00:27:25,306 --> 00:27:27,272
that it had to be somebody who...
623
00:27:27,352 --> 00:27:28,665
Who knew your patterns,
624
00:27:28,702 --> 00:27:30,233
and when you were out of the room.
625
00:27:30,269 --> 00:27:32,442
Caleb is a good man.
626
00:27:32,582 --> 00:27:35,028
Yes, I know.
I know that you think that.
627
00:27:35,476 --> 00:27:37,823
But, are you sure,
628
00:27:38,168 --> 00:27:39,651
that he was never alone
629
00:27:39,705 --> 00:27:41,310

634

Brandon and Christina
Hanson, their daughter Michelle
635
00:27:59,256 --> 00:28:02,005
was in a car crash...
A drunk driver.

00:28:02,090 --> 00:28:03,702
And she had brain swelling, too,
637
00:28:03,739 --> 00:28:05,705
but she wasn't as lucky as Ellie.
638
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,478
So, they took her off life support
639
00:28:08,515 --> 00:28:10,564
and donated her organs.

difficult day that was for them.

Two hours in the chapel.

And where was Caleb?
644
00:28:18,541 --> 00:28:21,866
He was waiting with Michelle's
body,
645

- in her room.
- Mm-hmm.

where was Ellie's
room in relation to...

You pull the hospital footage
651
00:28:36,134 --> 00:28:37,515
from the hallway in the trauma ward?

- We got him.

entering Ellie's room.

00:28:50,292 --> 00:28:51,855
- she was in the chapel.
- Yes.

Then, a few minutes
later, he closes the shade.

from the hospital administration?
671

Hospital had nothing but
good things to say about him.
672
00:29:21,714 --> 00:29:23,854
But I'm guessing,
he didn't need privacy
673
00:29:23,891 --> 00:29:25,341
in Ellie's room just to pray.
674
00:29:25,432 --> 00:29:27,891

00:30:56,646 --> 00:30:58,047
Laura mentioned that.

to spend a quiet

He's never gonna volunteer a sample.

So what's the move here?
We go through his trash?

00:33:04,269 --> 00:33:06,454
Did you give him permission
to go into Ellie's bedroom?

No.
Absolutely not.

OK.

In Matthew 18:21-22,
Peter asks Jesus,

00:33:37,302 --> 00:33:41,144
"Lord, how many times shall
I forgive my brother or sister"
775
00:33:41,181 --> 00:33:42,771
"who sins against me?"
776
00:33:43,393 --> 00:33:45,023
"Up to seven times?"
777
00:33:46,021 --> 00:33:47,403
And Jesus responds,
778
00:33:47,446 --> 00:33:51,238
"I tell you, not seven times,
but 77 times."
779
00:33:51,393 --> 00:33:53,949
Now, Jesus wasn't
giving us a math lesson.

No, he was saying
forgiveness,

I think the real question here is,
811
00:35:18,875 --> 00:35:21,451
will you tell us what really
happened in that room?
812
00:35:21,573 --> 00:35:24,931
That is between me, Ellie, and God.
