Everyone stay down,
nobody gets hurt.

Hurry up.

What, do you have
attention-deficit disorder?

[Panting]

Give me the diamonds!

Eyes on the floor, you bitch.

[Sobbing]

[Intense music]

In the bag.

[Sirens wailing]

[Gasps]

[Shuddering]

[Sirens wailing]

Pretty impressive, the
police showed up so fast.

Yeah, someone called it in

said they could see
the robbery going down

from across the street.

[Indistinct yelling]

This good samaritan have a name?

Hung up before we could get one.

Stickup guy has a name, though.

- James Miller.
- James Miller?

[Intense music]

James Miller who broke
out of prison last year

kidnapped a deputy
warden's wife.

- Killed a prison guard.
- Stabbed him in the back.

Then went on the run for a year.

[Sirens wailing]

I take it you know this guy.

She was the one who put him away

to begin with.

He was one of my first cases.

He was a first-time offender.

- The sheet...
- I don't need his sheet.

I know his sheet
backwards and forwards.

He held up a jewelry
store with an unloaded gun

he took two diamond rings

claimed they were for this girl

he was in love with.

I cut him a deal.

I let him plead
down to four years

and I recommend he do his time

in a minimum-security facility.

[Tires screeching]

[Siren wailing]

[Indistinct yelling]

Put your hands up!
Let me see your hand!

- 'Hands! Hands!'
- Hands up!

Let me see your hands!

Hands up!

- On your knees, now!
- On the ground!

Hands on your head now!

He played me,
Miller convinced me

'that he was repentant
and deserved a break.'

'he wasn't, and he didn't.'

instead, he kidnapped
some poor woman

to be his getaway
driver during his escape.

Her name's Darla
Johnson. She's 29 years old.

[Chuckling]

(Vega) 'She was
the prison librarian.'

'she taught remedial
reading and writing.'

she and her husband have
a ten-year-old daughter.

Stacey. She just
turned 11 years old.

Her birthday was two months ago.

Has Miller said
anything about Darla?

No, we don't know
whether he's killed her

'kept her, or what he's done
with her for the past year.'

'all we know for sure'

is that she's missing.

Nice to see you again, Ms.
Chase. You're looking well.

Cut the crap. Where's
Darla Johnson?

Darla Johnson?
Refresh my recollection.

Where is she?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

I haven't seen Mrs. Johnson
since the day we left prison.

Think I remember
dropping her off

somewhere by
the side of the road.

- What does that mean?
- What do you think it means?

Well, Miller, if you killed
her, why don't you tell us

where her body is?

Oh! This is a horrible
cup of coffee, man.

Listen to me, you may
think this is a joke. It's not.

You're looking at a date
with a lethal injection.

Like I said, I don't
know where she is.

You and I go back,
Ms. Chase. Remember?

You know me. Would I lie to you?

Where is she?

Is she alive?

Maybe your daughter
should wait outside.

Go ahead, honey,
go wait in the hall.

I'll be right out, okay?

[Door shuts]

I'm sorry, Mr. Johnson.

Miller's not talking.

You were the deputy warden
at southwest correctional?

- You knew this guy?
- I thought I did.

Apparently, I didn't.

Alright, is there anything
else that you can tell us

about him that might
help us find your wife?

Or anything that could help
us in our case against him?

I thought Miller was
turning his life around.

He only had two years
left in his sentence.

Well, he, he probably
could have gotten out in less

based on his record
of good behavior.

I gave him a job
in the prison library.

That's where he
killed the guard?

Yeah. Hal Robbins.
He was a good man.

'Twenty years on the job.'

my wife was in there by herself.

She was unpacking some books
she'd ordered for the inmates.

We found hal in there.

He'd been stabbed to death.

Miller took his keys
and his security card

and forced Darla to
walk him out of the prison.

He held a knife to her back

as they walked
through every checkpoint

'and then he made
her drive him away.'

no ransom note?

No, ma'am. No phone call.

They just disappeared.

If she's alive, we
want her back.

And if she's not..

If she's not..

I wanna know where he left her..

So we can give
her a proper burial.

I don't get it. Miller broke
out with two years to go?

But he claims he'd
been threatened.

He said some of the other
inmates wanted him dead.

At a minimum-security
prison? You buy that?

I don't take anything this
guy says at face value.

All I know is that I
want him for the escape

for the killing of the guard
and for Darla's kidnapping

if she's still alive.

For her murder, if she's not.

Well, you can tack
on identity theft.

All these credit cards
are fraudulently obtained

including his license.
Fake name, fake address.

Coffee card?

Well, looks like he's got one
more cup before his freebie.

He must have gone
there pretty often.

Yes, this is ours.

We had to offer them to
keep up with the chains.

You recognize this guy?

Larry.

That's what he
said his name was?

Well, that's what I wrote
down on his coffee order.

- He's a customer?
- He drops by almost every day.

And he's really into
his shade-grown beans.

- How long's he been coming in?
- A few months.

He said he just moved
into the neighborhood.

- He and his girlfriend.
- His girlfriend?

Oh, I assume that's who
she is. Her name's dorry.

- She comes in with him.
- What does she look like?

A petite little
thing. Uh, shy, too.

And doesn't say much.
Never leaves his side.

It's almost like
they're attached

at the hip or something.

Is this the woman
that you saw him with?

[Sighs] Yeah, it
looks a lot like her.

Yeah, but dorry's blonde and..
I suppose they could be sisters.

All right, when
was dorry last in?

- A week ago.
- Thanks.

If there's a chance
that Darla's alive

we have to offer Miller a deal
in exchange for her location.

Oh, man, I hate
this. I really hate this.

I don't like it
anymore than you do

but if a deal's the only
way to get information

out of this guy, then
we have no choice.

First of all, I've haven't
had very much luck

cutting deals with Miller.

And secondly, he killed a
corrections officer, Steve.

Not to mention, he's just
gonna try to play us again.

Well, if he does,
then the deal's off.

Look, it's possible he's
holding her somewhere

without food, without water.

We don't have
time to wait on this.

And you can't let your
anger get in the way

of what you have
to do, annabeth.

(Female #1) 'So you're
willing to drop the death penalty'

if my client agrees to disclose

Mrs. Johnson's location?

That's our offer.

Can we have a
minute to discuss it?

I can give you my answer now.

No.

You understand we
still execute murderers

in the state of Indiana?

Only for special circumstances.

Yes, like, killing
a prison guard.

Who says I killed
a prison guard?

We found his body lying on
the library floor, stabbed to death.

So? Could have
been someone else.

You got no one to say it was me.

No eyewitnesses,
no surveillance tape.

So Darla killed him?

Because she was
the only other person

in the library that day.

- Is that your story?
- All I'm saying is..

She's the only witness you got.

So now why in the world

would I tell you where she is?

So she's alive.

Maybe.

Let's be clear.

You wanna cut a deal, it's
gonna have to be a lot sweeter

'cause I am not
spending the rest of my life

in that hell hole.

Thinking..

Serve the last two
years on my sentence.

What do you think?

I think you should
have his head examined.

You might have a
decent competency issue.

Hey, you're not into
it, go get your boss

down here so we
can have a little chat.

While you're at it, why don't
you grab me some coffee?

Okay, none of that sludge you
tried to pass off on me before.

I want the good stuff.

Preferably, the
shade-grown variety.

I think you know what
I'm talking about, right?

He wants a walk on everything.

- Well, that's not gonna happen.
- Uh, he's just bluffing.

He wants to see how
far we're willing to bend.

Mm-hmm. And how far
are we willing to bend?

I was willing to let
him live, that's how far.

[Sighs] Have you heard
from detective vega?

No, the police are
canvassing the neighborhood

around the coffee
shop right now.

The coffee guy saw a similarity

between Darla and
the girl in the shop

but he couldn't
make a positive ID.

(Annabeth) So the
police are posting fliers

with a computer-altered
picture of Darla as a blonde.

They're also going door-to-door
talking to folks in the area.

[Knocking on door]

(Female #2) 'Haven't seen
them in a couple of days.'

- out of town?
- I don't know.

I just haven't seen them.

Is there anything I
can help you with?

Yeah, I'm detective vega with

the Indianapolis
police department.

We're looking for this woman.

Oh, sure, dorry. You were
just knocking on her door.

[Thudding]

Come on, let's go!

[Indistinct yelling]

(Male #1)
'Detective, over here!'

'outside, let's go!'

[intense music]

'She's in here.'

here.

Darla?

Water. Water.

Water, get her some water now.

[Instrumental music]

(Annabeth) Mrs. Johnson, I know

you've been through
a traumatic experience

but the doctors tell us you're
physically strong enough

to make a statement.

- My god!
- Shh..

Darla?

Can't.

- I know this is difficult...
- I can't.

He threatened to kill my family.

[Sniffles] Stacey..

My little girl, my husband.

- But he's in custody.
- Me.

He said he'd kill me

if I ever said anything,
if I ever tried to leave.

[Sobbing] If I ever
left the house..

Oh, my..

I need to get back.

I have to get back.
I need to get back!

- No, I need to get back!
- Ma'am? Ma'am?

Please! Please, I
have to get back..

Please! Please! I
have to get back!

- He can't hurt you now...
- He's going to kill me!

[Sobbing] And my,
my husband! Stacey!

He's going to kill us all!

Darla, you were handcuffed when
the police found you yesterday.

Did Miller do that?

He was protecting me.

Protecting you. How?

Well, he said if the police ever
came, that they'd bring guns.

He said they'd shoot.
He didn't want me hurt.

That's why he did it.

The psychiatrist is in with her?

Hopefully, we'll find
out if she'll be able

to hold up in court.

'Cause if she melts down the
way she did in the hospital...

It won't be pretty on the stand.

(Male #2) 'The police
found a dog bowl in the cellar'

'where he was keeping you.'

did Miller make you eat from it?

No.

Not all the time.

Only when I did stupid things.

- 'Like what?'
- 'The neighbors.'

sometimes they'd
wave or wanna say hi.

I'd wave back sometimes.

Why was that stupid?

Because he said they might
wanna get into his business.

He said I shouldn't
invite conversation.

- And he was right.
- About what?

About inviting conversation.

They'd always start
asking questions.

'How things were going and..'

and what did you
say when they did?

I said, "fine.."

because they were
most of the time.

He, he bought me a
picture frame once..

For my..

For my pictures
of my little girl.

Stacey.

I had them with me
when we left that day..

In my wallet.

Hm.

- 'Stacey? Your daughter?'
- Hm.

Who Miller threatened to kill.

(Annabeth) 'You think she's
suffering from Stockholm syndrome?'

as in, she's been brainwashed.

No, it's a very real
condition, I assure you.

An abuser like Miller
traumatizes Darla

with threats to her survival.

Darla, perceiving herself to be
isolated from the outside world

looks to him for,
uh, for protection.

[Chuckles] Her life literally
depends on his goodwill towards her.

So she starts to see the
world from his perspective

to determine what
makes him happy

and more importantly to do
those things that make him happy.

- Like, avoiding the neighbors.
- 'You mean..'

(Maureen) 'That for the last year
she was purposefully avoiding'

'those people who might
have been able to help her'

'get away from this guy?'

if she contacts these people

it's contrary to
Miller's wishes.

'She puts both her life and
the lives of her family in peril.'

she really believed Miller
could kill her and her family.

She couldn't afford not to.

'He was her lifeline to food'

water, communication, freedom.

- She's still afraid of him.
- She seems to like the guy.

I mean, the way she talks
about that picture frame

'he bought her, it's like'

'it's the most wonderful
gift in the world.'

(male #2) 'In some ways it was.'

'if he showed her kindness'

'by buying that frame'

'it allows her to bond
with his positive side'

'denying the side that
was terrifying to her.'

(male #3) 'How long does it take
for Stockholm syndrome to set in?'

(male #2) 'A year's
more than enough time.'

'it can take effect
in a matter of days.'

(male #3) It's a catch-22.

She says how bad
Miller is and then

excuses what he did
in the same breath.

Yeah, there are also
inconsistencies in her story.

She said she was kept locked up.

But the coffee guy saw
her just last week with Miller.

How badly do we
need her testimony?

Well, at the very least,
we need it to try Miller

for the murder of
the prison guard.

Otherwise, his lawyer
will probably argue

that any of the
300 other inmates

in that facility could
have killed the guard.

Do you think the
jury's gonna buy that?

Oh, I think that in
a post Robert Blake

Michael Jackson, oj world

they're ready to buy
just about anything.

Okay, bring her in,
shore up her testimony

take her deposition,
see what she remembers

about the day of
the prison escape.

Okay.

I remember unpacking books

and then I saw
blood on the floor.

Was it officer Robbins'?

I think so.

What do you mean, you think so?

What was Miller doing?

Standing there.

Maybe.

(Maureen) Was
he holding a knife?

I don't remember.

Darla, we know
you're afraid of him

'but we need to
know what happened.'

it's the only way to
make sure that he stays

out of your life forever.
Do you understand?

Was he holding a knife?

Darla, you told the
psychiatrist earlier

that Miller kept you locked up.

But we have someone who saw
the two of you in a coffee shop

just a week ago.

Sometimes he'd let
me go out with him..

When I'd been good.

You know, when I hadn't
done anything to make him mad.

He'd buy tea for me..

Sometimes.

(Maureen) She has
been reduced to a child.

A defense attorney is
gonna have a field day

turning every
inconsistency and hesitation

into evidence of instability
and lack of credibility.

So we need to show
how she got that way

how Miller tormented
her with abuse and threats.

We need to cement
in the minds of the jury

how and why she stayed as
his hostage for over a year.

- We talked to their neighbors?
- They said..

That Miller'd kept her
pretty much locked up.

'Anytime someone came over'

to say hi or invite them

over to a barbecue,
he'd shoo them away.

How did he manage to stay
underground for so long?

Well, there was no
shortage of cash, fake ids

or disguises in the house.

Did he Rob any other jewelry
stores while he was out?

I'm waiting on
surveillance tapes

heists that match
the mo of his last job.

We also need to document
the environment in which Miller

held Darla hostage. The
jury will wanna see that.

We're heading over to the house
this afternoon to take pictures.

Good, in the meantime

'i think we should
let Darla go home.'

[Creaking]

Oh. Looks like something
out of a horror movie.

Hm.

Almost too much.

I hate to ask this,
but is there any way

Darla's playing us?

- Why would she do that?
- I don't know.

Any chance she wanted
to be with this guy?

I mean, in a
non-stockholmed way.

Nothing in the file suggested

that she was unhappy
in her marriage.

Didn't she seem happy
to be back with her family?

It's just hard to believe that
she didn't try to escape this

especially with a husband
and daughter out there.

Well, she was trying to
protect them, Maureen.

I mean, I imagine,
if I were convinced

Jack and Haley's lives
depended on my staying here

I would do it.

I know you wanna
lock this guy up

I'm just... Posing a question.

You really think she
chained herself to this pipe?

[Sighs]

No.

You're gonna wanna
see this surveillance tape.

It's one of the robberies
that matched Miller's mo.

We got Miller hitting a
high-end jewelry store

during morning hours,
he wears a plastic mask.

- He only wants the diamonds.
- And this has two people.

Right. Listen.

- Let's hurry it up.
- I'm going as fast as I can.

That's Darla Johnson.

Darla helped Miller
Rob the place?

This was six months
ago, I got tapes that show

they hit two other places
during the last year.

"They?" as in they both did it?

Same method. He held the
gun, she collected the diamonds.

I didn't tell you
about the robberies

because I was afraid..

Of what you'd think.

I had to help him.

He would do things if I didn't.

What things?

My pictures of Stacey..

He'd take them away.

He said that's how
easily he could kill her..

Her and Dan.

Just like he did hal.

So why didn't you go
along on his last robbery?

[Scoffs] A couple of months ago

I got really emotional.

It was Stacey's birthday

and I missed her
so much, I tried..

I tried writing her a card.

A birthday card?

But he caught me.

He got really angry.

He said I betrayed him

that he couldn't
trust me anymore.

Then..

He raped me and beat
me and locked me up.

And he said that's
where I was gonna stay

from now on when he went out

until he could trust me again.

[Knocking on door]

I just got a call from
Miller's attorney.

- What did she want?
- To talk deal.

'I told her we'd
think about it.'

uh, why would
Miller want one now?

Because we have a witness
who can testify he killed the guard.

Yeah, I get that. But why
would we wanna do a deal?

Because there's no guarantee
that Darla is going to be able

to withstand the
pressure of trial.

Make a deal, annabeth.

(Annabeth) Let me be clear,
Darla will testify against you

and you'll be facing
the death penalty.

So I'll make the same
offer I made before.

Wait, wait, wait, there's
tape of Darla Johnson

willingly participating
in these robberies.

How credible is she gonna be?

It'll look like she's
testifying against my client

just to save her own skin.

Not after our
psychiatrist explains

that her behavior was consistent
with Stockholm syndrome.

There are many examples of
this, Patty hearst, Elizabeth smart.

- And you believe that?
- I think a jury will.

I'm willing to take the
death penalty off the table

in exchange for
a full confession.

That will include the
death of the guard?

The murder of the guard, yes.

I'll take it.

(Vega) 'What happened
after you entered the library?'

officer Robbins
turned his back to me

then I pulled out my shiv,
which I hid in my shoe.

- You had a shiv?
- 'Right.'

(vega) 'Where'd
you get the shiv?'

I made it

out of a metal spoon.
I sharpened it myself.

And then you stabbed
officer Robbins with it.

- Yes, I did.
- 'How many times?'

I don't know. A few times.
I don't remember exactly.

Definitely more
than once, though.

(Vega) 'What happened then?'

I told Darla Johnson

she better do as I say

or she was next.

Congratulations.

You just got
yourself a confession.

He's lying.

The story about the shiv
doesn't make any sense.

Officer Robbins' wounds were
inflicted by a serrated knife.

- Why would Miller lie?
- I don't know.

You know, there may
be other inconsistencies

in his statement.

'Turns out that Dale braddock'

'Miller's old cellmate'

and a reputed jewelry fence

'was paroled 18 months ago.'

he runs a welding
shop here in the city.

But that's not the guy Miller
says he used as a fence.

No, he didn't. And the guy
he did mentioned, we can't find.

You think Miller may have
used braddock instead?

- Maybe.
- Let's search braddock's place.

Check that.

Will you shut him down?

(Male #3) 'Yeah, yeah, sure.'

hey.

[Indistinct chatter]

Oh.

Possession of stolen
goods is a parole violation

which means you're
going back to prison.

Is there anything
you could do for me?

That depends on what you have.

James Miller.

You fence his
diamonds, yes or no?

- For all his robberies?
- Yeah.

The ones he and his lady did.

Mm, Darla.

You mean, the woman
that he took hostage.

Hostage?

[Scoffs] She ain't no hostage.

- She was in on those jobs.
- What does that mean?

It means they did them together.

She picked the stores, he
planned the heists. Ask me.

I-I, I think she got off on it.

Oh, that's insane.

I'm just telling
you what I know...

And Miller, he did
whatever she wanted him to.

You know, he's
crazy in love with her.

(Annabeth) 'I don't
know what your concept'

of love is, Mr. Braddock

but I don't think
physically abusing

and torturing someone counts.

He never did that
to her, no way.

Never laid a finger
on that woman.

She's carrying his child.

[Dramatic music]

- Darla's pregnant?
- Yeah.

I mean, Miller was so
damn excited about it

he took some of the cash he
made to do some estate planning

you know, o-open an
account with an investment firm

for Darla and the youngster

in case anything
ever happened to him.

(Darla) Yes, I told
him I was pregnant.

I might have even
told him I loved him

but I was just trying
to earn his sympathy.

I just wanted him to stop

beating and-and raping and..

[Darla exhales sharply]

Are you pregnant?

No.

Did you plan the robberies?

No. No, I didn't.

Stacey, go to your room.

Mom?

Are you okay?

Stacey, what did I say?

Darla..

- That has got to stop.
- Mr. Johnson...

Look, I know you
have a job to do

but I also know that
Miller confessed.

With all due respect, your
wife's story has problems

and it doesn't help that
she keeps leaving out

crucial details every
time we talk to her.

Darla is fragile. She's
not thinking straight.

She just needs to be left alone.

She needs things to
be normal for a while

so she can heal.

Your mom's a librarian, but
she lets you underline in books?

Things are sort of
strange right now, huh

with your mom back?

It's okay, it's normal.

It's been a crazy week
for you, crazy year.

I remember going
through a really tough time

when I was your age.

It wasn't easy. My
parents were splitting up.

My parents aren't splitting up.

Oh, I didn't say that.

Why? Is that something
you think might happen?

N-No.

You know, Stacey, it's okay.

I think we all fear that.

We see things, interpret things.

Have you seen things
that make you think that?

I have homework.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Intense music]

Darla's telling the truth.

The hospital took
blood samples from her

right after her rescue.

We had 'em tested, they came
up negative on the pregnancy.

So Miller is estate-planning
for a non-existent kid.

[Knocking on door]

You're not gonna believe this.

After braddock told us
that Darla helped plan

all the heists, I asked myself

"why wasn't Darla
involved in the last one?"

We traced the tip to the police

to a phone booth across the
street from the jewelry store.

There's a bank nearby
with a surveillance camera.

You only get one
guess who made the call.

(Maureen) 'It's time
to stop lying, Darla.'

we know you phoned the police

while Miller was
doing the robbery.

We know you turned him in.

She called just minutes
before you were caught.

- I did call.
- 'So..'

why hadn't you done that before?

I couldn't before. I was scared.

It's a trick.

You altered that tape
to make it look like her.

The only one playing
tricks here is Darla.

She's not pregnant.

We have her blood
test. See for yourself.

(Maureen) So why did
you go back to the house

and chain yourself up
after you turned Miller in?

Because I was afraid the
police might not catch him.

I was afraid he'd come back to
the house and not find me there

and I was afraid he'd
come looking for me

and my family and kill us.

Darla lied to you.
She betrayed you.

Is Stockholm syndrome gonna
be your answer to everything?

You can't protect her
anymore. Why should you?

If you know anything..

I'd like a lawyer now.

Good idea, because
we're charging you

with aiding and abetting
in a prison escape

armed robbery and murder.

I never kidnapped Darla.

She ran away with me.

(Miller) Fell in love the minute
we laid eyes on each other.

First it was just small talk,
and then it became more.

(Annabeth) 'How were
you able to communicate?'

weren't there guards
and other inmates around?

She taught me this
code using books.

'We'd underline words on a page'

that, when read in a row,
would add up to a message.

Do you recognize
people's exhibit a?

(Miller) 'Those are some
of the pages we marked up'

'using the books
in the prison library.'

I'm handing you a transcript of
the words that were underlined

in the pages you identified.

I'd like you to read
them to the jury.

"Dear love, I miss you.

'"Each day that passes
without seeing you'

"feels like an eternity.

Does it feel like that to you?"

Darla wrote that message.

Why would she do that?

She has a family.

A husband..

A daughter.

Said she was bored with the kid.

She couldn't stand her
husband. She felt trapped.

'Said she wanted
excitement, adventure.'

you're saying she
was in on the escape?

As the affair grew more intense

she said I should
try to break out.

Supposed to say some of
the cons threatened my life

make it look like
that's why I did it.

'She said she'd go with me,
she'd pose as my hostage.'

what happened the
day of the escape?

Officer Robbins and I entered
the prison library that morning.

(Miller) Darla was taking
some new books out of a box.

Then she took out a knife
that she'd snuck inside.

I never killed anyone.

So I didn't take it, the knife.

(Annabeth) 'What happened then?'

she stabbed officer Robbins.

(Miller) Then she used his
security card to get us out.

(Annabeth) 'If this is true'

I don't understand

why she turned you in.

I wanted to settle down.

I wanted a family.

Maybe she felt like she
was trapped with me.

After she told me
she was pregnant

she came up with a plan,
in case we got caught.

She'd pretend to have Stockholm?

(Miller) 'Said
she'd read up on it.'

that way she'd be
able to get away

with the money for our baby.

All I had to do was
say I did everything.

How do we know
this isn't all a lie?

That this just isn't some
big, sick fantasy of yours?

- Objection. Argumentative.
- Sustained.

Mr. Miller, you
gave a prior sworn

videotaped
statement to the police.

- 'Correct?'
- yes, but i...

In which you said
exactly the opposite

of what you're saying today.

Isn't that right?

Why don't we just play the tape?

(Vega on video tape) 'So what
happened after you entered the library?'

(Miller on video tape) 'Officer
Robbins turned his back to me'

'i took out my shiv,
which I hid in my shoe.'

(vega) 'And then you
stabbed officer Robbins with it.'

- yes, I did.
- 'How many times?'

I don't know. A few times.
I don't remember exactly.

Definitely more
than once, though.

(Vega) 'What happened then?'

I told Darla Johnson
she better do as I say

or she was next.

Did you lie then or
are you lying now

'to get back at a woman'

who finally had the
courage to turn you in?

(Darla) I did not
kill officer Robbins.

Did you have an affair
with James Miller?

No, I did not.

Did you ever trade
messages with him

using coded book pages?

Never. And I..

I never did any of the
things that he said I did.

I love my family.

Stacey, my husband Dan,
i, I would never leave them.

And I would never
allow for them to get hurt.

Is that the reason you stayed
with James Miller for so long

without trying to escape

to, uh, protect them?

Yes.

You wanted out of your
marriage to Dan Johnson

because you wanted
a more exciting life.

- Didn't you?
- That's a lie.

And you faked Stockholm syndrome

so that you could get
away with the money

that you and James Miller
made from the robberies.

[Sighs] No, I didn't.

But you don't deny
that you and Mr. Miller

opened an investment account
under your assumed names?

Because he forced me to.

And each of you were
given separate passwords

so that you could access
that account online.

Isn't that correct?

I-I don't know. I-I think so.

I have a document here from
the investment firm that shows

someone tried to cash
out on that account

just days after
Mr. Miller was arrested.

That person used your password.

I was afraid if I didn't
do it, he'd be angry.

'He said if anything
ever happened to him'

that I should take
the money and hide it.

I had to do it. I was afraid of
what would happen if I didn't.

(Maureen) 'We went through
the books that you bought'

for the prison library.

And among them were
several on Stockholm syndrome.

You checked those
out, didn't you?

I may have. I
read lots of books.

Have you ever
underlined in a book?

- Yes, to note things.
- 'How about..'

to communicate with people?

No. Absolutely not.

The people would like to call
Stacey Johnson to the stand.

Stacey, did you
ever see your mother

underline in any books?

- Yeah.
- 'When was the last time?'

right before she went
away. I saw her do it.

'She didn't know
I was watching.'

I looked in her books.
She'd underlined some words.

I didn't know why
she had done that.

Until you heard Mr. Miller
talk about it here in court?

Yeah.

[Exhales sharply]

It used to be a game
we played, mom and me

when I was younger.

Uh, she'd underline
words in my books like

"I see you."

It used to make me laugh.

Stacey, what was
your home life like

before your mom went away?

It's okay. You can tell us.

Mom always complained about dad.

Not to his face.

To me.

She said she was bored.

She said she hated her life.

She said..

She wished it had
turned out different.

Thank you.

Stacey..

Your mother has told us
that prior to her kidnapping

you two used to argue a lot.

Is that true?

I-I don't know.
Not all the time.

But you did argue, about,
uh, going out with your friends

uh, telephone time and homework.

I guess, sometimes.

You didn't argue so
much with your dad.

- No.
- It's fair to say..

That you like
your dad a lot more

than you like your mom.

- Yeah, but...
- In fact..

You like spending
time with your dad

all by yourself.

- I guess so.
- 'But now that mom's returned.'

you can't do that anymore,
spending time alone

with your dad.

'Now that she's returned'

so have the arguments
about going out

about telephone time, homework.

- I didn't say that.
- But it's true, isn't it?

Objection. He's
arguing with the witness

overruled.

Stacey, you can say it.

You don't like it that your
mother's back, do you?

[Exhales sharply]

I love my mom.

And I'm happy she's alive.

But I don't like that
she lied to my dad

t-that she hurt him..

The way she did.

Defendant will rise for
the reading of the verdict.

"In the state of Indiana
versus Darla Johnson

'"we the jury find
the defendant'

'"guilty of murder
in the first degree.'

'"on the charge of aiding
and abetting in the escape'

'"from a lawful
detention center'

'"we the jury find
the defendant guilty.'

'"on the charge
of armed robbery'

we the jury find the
defendant guilty."

Strange how you can be
married to somebody for 11 years

and not really know them.

You've been through
such a terrible ordeal.

I just wish it could
have ended differently.

I'm just glad it's ended.

We can finally get
on with our lives.

Good luck, Mr. Johnson,
to you and your little girl.

Thank you.

Ah, he built Darla up

as a fantasy wife and mother.

She could do no wrong.

Well, she must have
done something right

'cause I think Miller
felt the same way.

It's a shame
'cause it sounds like

he really was
trying to go straight.

Then he met Darla.

Yeah, and now he's
going away for life.
