[Instrumental music]

[Moaning]

We're gonna
have to pay for that.

- I'm worth it.
- Alright.

[Indistinct singing]

[Both breathing heavily]

[Gunshots]

[Dramatic music]

[Footsteps]

[Panting]

[Engine cranking]

[Tires screeching]

[Screaming]

[Camera shutter clicking]

[Upbeat music]

[Music continues]

- Do you know the man you shot?
- No.

- Did you plan to kill him?
- No.

So what happened, what,
you and your girlfriend, uh...

Amanda isn't my...

and you drive to
a motel and decide

you're gonna shoot a
perfect stranger for kicks?

No, that's not what happened.

Then why don't you tell
us what did happen, Billy?

- She met him online.
- The victim?

- Yeah, on favespace.
- Favespace?

I-I-It's a-it's a website
where people chat online.

He talked her into meeting him.

He said he was a
freshman at notre dame.

He drove down to meet me,
but when I got to his motel room

it was this old guy. H-He
was bald and he s-smelled bad.

Why in god's name would
you meet a stranger at a motel?

You know better than that.
You could've been raped.

- You could have been killed...
- Mr. Ross.

We're gonna have to
ask you to wait outside.

[Sighs]

Okay. Go on. I'll be quiet.

He was supposed
to be a college guy

only he turned out to be a perv.

- Now, where were you?
- I just dropped Amanda off.

She told her parents that
we were going to the movies.

T-T-That's what he told me, too.

And then what happened?

He kept trying
to get me to drink

rum and cokes
and take my shirt off.

He kept saying he needed a hug.

He offered me money.

He had this camera he
wanted to tape me with.

The door was locked and chained.

I thought he was gonna rape me.

- Oh, Amanda.
- Did he touch you?

He kept trying to, and
so I told him I had to pee.

I went in the bathroom
and texted Billy.

She texted me a message
th-that just said, "help."

So you grabbed a gun from
your house and went back.

No.

My-my dad keeps a
gun in the glove box.

- The glove box?
- I have a permit.

I went-i went back to
her motel room door

and I heard this
sketchy guy, like

begging Amanda
take off her clothes.

The gun was just to scare him.

There was a knock at the
door, and when the guy opened it

Billy came in holding the gun.

The bald guy. The pervert.

He got real aggressive
with me. He was really drunk.

He kept shoving Billy,
trying to scare him.

I told him to back off!

It's like he didn't even
care that Billy had a gun.

But he wouldn't listen to me!

I was cr-crying so bad
I could hardly breathe.

And I shot him!

And then Billy shot him.

Boom, boom.

I don't know what
happened, I just..

Squeezed the trigger.

My hand was, my hand
was shaking so bad.

(Annabeth) 'Why
did you run away?'

I was scared.

And there was blood everywhere

and I didn't want my
mom and dad to find out.

I felt stupid for even
meeting that pervert.

I just wanted to
get out of there.

You could've called the police.

- I know, I should've.
- Were you ever going to?

You shot this man
twice and fled the scene.

I was just s-so scared.

What do we know
about the victim?

Well, his name's Evan Bennet.

Thirty-five years old, no
priors, married, two kids.

Works at the "weekly chronicle."

And poses online
as a college boy.

It's the wild, wild
west out there.

Pedophiles are posing
as whatever works.

If the victim really
is a pedophile

good luck getting a
conviction on a murder charge.

(Annabeth) 'Look, I
wanna believe these kids'

'and given the
state of the world'

their story is credible

but they didn't make any effort

to let anyone know
what was going on.

Instead they just
left the victim to die.

I could make a case for intent.

There's also an
argument for self-defense.

Let's seize Amanda's computer
and the victim's computer

'and see if this online
chat story checks out.'

and in the meantime, until
the facts tell us otherwise

we'll hold Billy for murder one.

Welcome to the
information super highway.

[Instrumental music]

(Kelly) 'Why are
you doing this?'

my husband was
not a child molester.

He was a good man
and a devoted father.

How much time did your husband

spend on the
computer, Mrs. Bennet?

That's photography,
not pornography.

The computer, did he
stay up at night using it?

He's the one who was killed.

He's the victim, and
you're treating him like...

Mrs. Bennet, I'm
prosecuting the young man

who killed your husband,
so I need to know all the facts.

The defense is going to
argue that your husband

was an online predator.

Well, he wasn't.

Predators are very
good at keeping secrets

from their families, and
especially their wives.

[Instrumental music]

Maybe he was meeting
that girl to interview her.

He was an
investigative reporter.

Do you really believe your
husband was doing an interview

in a motel, at night,
with an underage girl?

Well, he often met
people at strange places

and strange hours.

Mrs. Bennet, did your
husband usually tell you

what he was working on?

- Yeah.
- But not this time?

I guess not.

We found something here.

[Intense music]

(Drummer) Are these girls
members of your family?

No.

(Jonathan) 'The victim's
computer is a horror show.'

he downloaded
thousands of photographs

over the last three months.

He has links to child porn sites

emails to kids where he poses

as a high school
student or college guy.

- Sometimes even a little girl.
- Ah, here's one.

"Sometimes I do my homework
in my underwear, how about you?"

"Ware," w-a-r-e.

Yeah, he misspells
words on purpose. Sick.

What did we find in
Amanda's computer?

Exactly what she told
us, emails from Bennet

including one where
our college boy

confirmed their
meeting at the motel.

He even sent her a map
link so she wouldn't get lost.

Amanda spent dozens of
hours exchanging messages

and images with Mr. Bennet.

(Annabeth) 'And the catch
is, her pictures are real'

his are fake. He poses
as a college-age Brad Pitt.

What're we looking at?

It's Amanda's
favespace web page.

She calls herself "hot grrrl?"

Kids create identities for
themselves on this site.

They post photos,
discuss their interests.

They're creating alter
egos for themselves.

But her alter
ego is "hot grrrl."

Isn't that a little provocative?

It's pretty tame,
compared to her friends.

Check this out.

[Dramatic music]

- Hello.
- It's pretty normal nowadays.

A virtual invitation
to a sexual predator.

"Hot grrrl" certainly
caught Evan Bennet's eye.

She pursued him, too.

She initiated several
of the email chains.

This guy chatted
with fifth graders, too.

'Pedophiles call it "phishing."'

drop your bait and reel them in.

We do need to know if
he was on assignment

but this doesn't look like
investigative journalism to me

and if he was doing a story,
it just provided him with cover

for his pedophilic behavior.

I'll talk to his paper.

Bennet was doing this story

called "my life as a perv."

- What?
- Yeah.

He was writing an
expose on how easy it is

for sexual predators
to do their thing.

Collect child porn, lure kids

and how all the while,
they'd keep it hidden

from their friends and family.

Wait, you knew he was
contacting these children online?

Of course. They were the
primary sources for the article.

But his wife didn't
know what he was doing.

She wasn't supposed to.
That was part of the story.

Bennet was a bit of
an unorthodox guy.

Do you think we
could look at his notes?

Yeah.

So according to his notes

Bennet befriended
these kids online

in order to get them to meet
him for interviews in person.

- Befriended them how?
- By complimenting them.

Sometimes offering to buy them
presents or give them money.

You call that journalism?

I'm sorry, but that
crosses the line.

You don't lie to kids

and you don't bribe
them into meeting you.

I totally agree with you, but..

He was writing a
story about predators.

- That's what they do.
- Okay.

Let's see if we can find
these so-called sources.

See if they
corroborate his notes.

If they do, Billy
and Amanda's story

begins to fall apart.

Well, their story is
already falling apart.

Here is the me's
toxicology report.

Says the victim
wasn't even intoxicated

not even a little bit.

There was alcohol in his
mouth, but he never ingested it.

What, he rinse with it?

Also..

The rum bottle we
found in the room

no fingerprints on it.
Somebody wiped it clean.

If Bennet wasn't
the crazed pervert

Billy and Amanda describe...

Billy's claim that he killed him

to protect Amanda
goes out the window.

We know you talked
to Evan Bennet.

You can't tell my mom,
okay? You have to promise.

You do understand
I'm a police officer.

You can still promise.

Why don't you tell me
what you know and we'll see.

You ever met this man?

He offered me 500 bucks
to meet him at the mall.

Figured it wouldn't be
a big deal to show up

at the food court
and collect my money.

But when I got
there, he was different

than his picture he emailed me.

- He was a reporter.
- He told you that?

Yeah, he said he was
working on some story

about how pervs
meet girls on the web.

Do you know a girl
named Amanda Ross?

No, I don't.

This guy Evan Bennet

he ever try to touch you?

No, he just kept
asking me questions

about why I talk
to guys like him.

He ever try to get you
to go to a motel with him?

So he never tried to molest you?

No. He was a nice guy.

He promised not to tell my
parents what I'd been doing.

Just as long as I
stayed off the web.

He said if he ever
saw my image up again

that he would contact them and
make them take away my computer.

He said he was a parent, too.

That's why he
was doing the story.

We know Bennet was a
journalist doing an article

about the dangers
of the Internet.

He met with half a dozen
kids as part of his story.

- We've spoken to all of them.
- And?

I wanna know if
Amanda still wants

to stick to her prior statement.

Why? Don't you believe her?

Mrs. Ross, all of the kids
Mr. Bennet interviewed

corroborate the fact that he
was very up-front with them

about being a reporter.

He didn't act like a reporter.

He acted like a monster.

You're the only one
who claims that...

Ask Billy what
happened. He was there.

My son deserves a
medal for what he did.

(Maureen) They don't pass those
out for killing an unarmed man.

A man Billy claims was
acting drunk and aggressive.

We know the
drunk part isn't true.

All the me's report shows is
that Bennet wasn't intoxicated.

Doesn't prove he
wasn't acting crazy.

Doesn't prove he didn't
intend to hurt that girl and Billy.

It proves someone poured

rum into his mouth to
make him look drunk.

The evidence shows you not
only failed to report the murder

you altered the crime scene
and participated in a cover-up.

Now, I wanna know who did what.

'You've already admitted
to pulling the trigger'

'so you're in the hot seat.'

- what did Amanda do?
- Nothing.

Billy was protecting me.

If he testifies about
Amanda's involvement

is there a deal on the table?

No, no deal.

Why are you protecting her?

Just give us a
moment to discuss this.

No! A-Aren't you
listening to me?

There's nothing to discuss.

I don't appreciate
you talking to me like

I'm some criminal or something.

Why did you and
Billy kill Mr. Bennet?

Amanda met him in a chat room.

She thought he was in college.

Only he turned
out to be a pervert!

That pervert got real
aggressive with me.

I told him to back
off, and he wouldn't.

So, I shot him. Boom, boom.

- Daddy, I want a lawyer.
- She'll need one.

We're charging her with
conspiracy to commit murder.

Conspiracy to commit murder.
Miss Ross, how do you plead?

Not guilty, your honor.

The people request
that bail be set

in the amount of $300,000.

Oh, that's ridiculous.

We request that my client

be released to her
parents, your honor.

(Annabeth) 'Without
posting bond?'

(Doug) 'She doesn't
pose a flight risk.'

really? She's shown little
regard for the judicial process.

Up until now, she
lied to the police.

- She lied to our office...
- That remains to be proven.

She fled the crime
scene, that's a fact.

These are the facts.

'She is a straight-a student.'

she is the president
of her student council

she is a youth
volunteer at her church.

'She has no prior history'

of any disciplinary
problems whatsoever.

We have a list of over
40 character witnesses

'and on the other hand,
the so-called victim'

in this case was a pedophile
who lured this young lady

into a motel room
for the sole purpose...

The only person

who claimed Bennet
was a predator

are your client and
her co-conspirator.

Not true.

Kayla philby was molested
by that man a year ago

and she will swear
to that on the stand.

(Hanophy) 'While I admire your
flair for the dramatic, Mr. Hellman'

you would be best served
to save it for the trial court.

Setting bail at $200,000.

'Next case.'

(Doug) Amanda is the victim here

and that guy, Evan
Bennet, was the criminal.

He lied to her, he seduced her

and he duped her into
meeting him at that motel.

I think the only one who's
been duped is you, Doug.

Your client has lied
to everyone all along.

But she sounds credible to me.

And you know who else does?

That girl.

(Maureen) Do you
know Amanda Ross?

Yeah, we go to school together.

When this reporter
tried to molest her, too

I had to come forward.

So what happened, Kayla?

I was chatting on my
favespace and this guy said

that he was a modeling agent.

He said I was unique, he
wanted more pictures of me

so I agreed to meet him.

- Where?
- At his studio.

Where was his studio, exactly?

- Downtown, off meridian.
- Okay.

He..

He, um..

The reporter guy
had a big camera.

Except it was video.

He said I might be
able to do movies, too.

He wanted me to pose in
my underwear. I was scared.

He said I should have a drink,
you know, like whisky and..

He locked all the doors,
and I couldn't get out.

He said if I told
anyone, he'd kill me.

- When did this happen?
- Last summer.

- Can you be more specific?
- It was August.

(Gary) She's lying.

Bennet was doing a story
down in Texas last August

on the Iraqi war protests.

'I've got dates and
receipts if you want them.'

'he was down there
for the whole month'

'with one of my photographers.'

I can get you an expense report.

Yeah, we'll need it.

[Instrumental music]

[Beeping]

I don't understand how
these girls can just lie like that.

Clearly, Kayla is just
trying to help her friend.

I'll sue them. I can
sue them, right?

Amanda and that girl
Kayla? For slander.

Defamation, for taking
my husband's name

reputation, and memory and
running it through the sewer.

I don't think now
is the time for that.

No, then when?

When would be the right time?

Mrs. Bennet, a civil suit

would just shut people up
and impede our prosecution.

[Sighs]

My neighbors..

They look at me like
I'm some kind of monster.

The parents at my son's day care

pull their kids
close when I pass.

They probably think
I molest kids, too.

My little girl..

She just wants her daddy back.

And I tell her..

I do, too.

[Sobs]

(Maureen) Your statement
is worthless, Kayla.

The dates don't match,
and we can prove it.

I don't understand.

Your daughter lied to
us about the molestation.

Oh, that can't be.

It takes a lifetime to build
up a reputation, Kayla

but just one minute to destroy
an innocent man's name.

We're charging you with
perjury, a class d felony

that carries a sentence of
six months to three years.

Oh, my god. Kayla.

Amanda..

Amanda had video of me

with the boys at this party.

With boys?

[Sighs] Having sex.

(Nicole) 'How many
boys were you with?'

- mom, I'd been drinking.
- She taped this?

- I hardly remember any of it.
- Oh, my...

And she blackmailed you?

She said she was going
to post the video unless

I told you guys this
reporter molested me.

- Post the video where?
- On the Internet.

Like she's done
with her web parties.

What do you mean, web parties?

Amanda gave a bunch of us
these webcams for our bedrooms.

You've seen it, mom.

It's right on top
of my computer.

Send some investigators
out to the school.

I wanna know why Amanda's
been giving away these webcams.

And if she's trying to
blackmail anybody else.

(Annabeth) Amanda
blackmailed her, Doug.

Look, nobody can prove

that anybody
blackmailed anybody.

Now this young lady
Kayla is obviously confused

and ashamed and looking for
ways of gaining attention, sympathy.

Save it for the jury, this
was a desperate attempt

to cover up a murder,
and you know it.

Doesn't a murder
require a motive?

Now what motive would
Billy and Amanda have

for killing Evan Bennet if
he wasn't a child molester?

See, that's what I thought.
You don't have one.

Without one, you don't
have much of a murder case.

[Indistinct chatter]

(Michelle) Amanda got Billy
to set up the webcam for me.

He even installed
some software he wrote.

- He's such a nerd.
- Billy did this?

Yeah, he's really smart.
He, like, skipped two grades.

I heard he could have
gone to college last year

but his dad wanted him to
get his driver's license first.

So what did Amanda
get out of this?

What do you guys do on
these webcams she gave you?

Nothing. We talk to each other.

Sometimes we play
strip poker and stuff.

You guys played strip
poker on the Internet?

Yeah, all our friends do it.

And Amanda would organize this?

Yeah, she would
organize other stuff, too.

Like skinny dipping dares,
cheerleaders gone wild.

Just goofing around.

It's not like anybody
touched anybody.

You guys want us to abstain

the web is like the
ultimate safe sex.

And Amanda would
post these parties

on the web for everyone to see?

Oh, not everyone.

We just showed
stuff to each other

and the boys we liked.

Sure, I watched the
girls' webcam parties.

I mean, who wouldn't?
They play strip poker.

- It beats "jeopardy," man.
- So you save these webcasts?

Yeah, I download them,
burn them for friends.

You know, not all
the guys get it for free.

Wait, wait, wait.

This girl charges
people on the Internet?

Yeah, they use
mycyberwire, dude.

(Maureen) 'We're issuing a
subpoena to mycyberwire.'

'i wanna nail down who's
buying these webcasts'

'and exactly what they pay.'

(Steve) 'What's mycyberwire?'

(Maureen) 'It's an
online payment service.'

if I agree to buy
something on the web

say photos or webcasts, I
pay through mycyberwire

which has my credit
card number on file.

Is that safe?

It is if you're
buying pornography.

There's no record kept
of how the money is spent.

Just dollar amounts, dates

and a record that
money changed hands.

Why haven't we found
evidence of these webcasts

on Amanda's computer?

She must have stored the images

on an external hard drive
the police couldn't find.

- What about Billy's computer?
- Nothing yet.

He encrypted his hard
drive. We can't open the files.

Detective Ortiz has three guys
working on it around the clock

but we still managed to
get copies of these webcasts

from other guys at the school.

- I've got a pair of threes.
- I got an ace.

Well, I got three
aces. You lose, Sarah.

Ah! Alright.

Here goes.

[Laughs]

- There you go.
- Wow.

These girls look like
they're totally oblivious

to the fact that
anyone's watching.

Why didn't we do that stuff
when we were in school?

(Annabeth) Jack.

God, what if this was Haley?

Hey, if Haley ever
tries anything like that

she's grounded for life.

I'm talking locked in the
room until she's married.

Yeah, like you're not
going to try that anyway.

I got an idea.

Why don't me and
you go into the bedroom

and make our own video?

Hmm, that sounds like fun.

We're married, it's legal.

Honey, I'm sorry,
I just have to go

through all these DVDs.

- Alright.
- I have motions to prepare.

Yeah, well, it's always
something, isn't it?

I'm sorry.

Annabeth, you've
been pushing really hard

since you lost that trial.

I know I have.

Well, you need a break.

What do you want me to do?

I'm up at the crack of dawn,
I take Haley to day care

I work all day, and then I
come home to make dinner

and I still have things left
to do for the case, Jack.

I mean, I can't just be
at your Beck and call.

Right.

[Sighs]

Amanda's been profiting off
these webcasts she organized.

Four thousand transactions
at an average of $40 apiece

in the last six months.

(Steve) 'She's a
high school senior'

and she's running
a $320,000-a-year

business from her bedroom?

Okay, we're in the
wrong line of work.

She makes more
than we do combined.

So I'm thinking Amanda's
selling online tickets

to watch her school friends
play strip poker on the Internet.

This couldn't have been
just boys from her school

paying to watch this.

She must have sold
monthly passes to outsiders.

- Pedophile's dream.
- This girl is smart.

She was careful
not to participate

in the webcasts herself.

How could she do this
without participating?

Well, if she had a
webcam in her room

she must have dumped
it before we got there.

She's probably
communicating with her buyers

through instant messaging.
You can't trace it.

Which gives us a
motive for murder.

Evan Bennet must have discovered

her little online
entrepreneurial streak.

How?

Well, pervs have
their own chat rooms.

They probably
turned him on to her.

She wasn't afraid he
was gonna molest her.

She was afraid he
was gonna expose her.

So why did Billy shoot him?

Well, we know he
set up the webcams.

He must've been
involved in her business.

[Indistinct whispering]

I'm just here to inform
you that in addition

to the conspiracy to
commit murder charge

and all the other
charges you're facing

we'll be adding
distribution of child porn.

You can't prove that.

We can prove she
sold explicit images

of underage kids online.

Now, you have no evidence aside

from her mycyberwire account

and that just proves
that she got money.

You can't prove for what.

Doug, we've got
dozens of witnesses

kids who paid to
watch the webcasts

kids who are in the webcasts

sometimes unwittingly

including the girl
she tried to blackmail

into defaming the victim.

I'd like a minute alone
with my client, please.

[Dramatic music]

[Exhales]

Okay, she's willing to deal.

- She'll confess?
- No.

She won't confess
to any wrong doing

and she's not going to
testify against her friend Billy.

- No. No deal.
- Wait, wait-wait-wait-wait.

Wait a minute now,
she may have something

potentially more valuable
than a confession.

Evidence that could
lead to the arrest

of people who purchased her
webcasts, over 500 of them.

Now, what if you had a
log of who received what

images, names, dates

specific requests
for underage girls?

She could give us that?

[Sighs] Hypothetically.

If she did, you could
get search warrants

and my guess is, if
you search their houses

you could find
everything that you need

to put these sexual
predators away

for a very, very long time.

- In exchange for?
- A walk.

Two walks. One
for her, one for Billy.

That's a nonstarter, Doug.
Besides, I think she's bluffing.

I don't believe she has any of
this evidence, and if she does

it's only a matter of
time before we find it.

Well, what if there's a hard
drive you don't know about.

The police haven't found it now.

What makes you
think they'll find it later?

Think about that.

I mean, they're two smart kids.

They can go to college,
get on with their lives

and you get to put 500
child molesters behind bars.

- You'll be a hero.
- And they get away with murder.

Everything in this life
has its price, annabeth.

Five hundred pedophiles
would be huge.

Just balance the scales.

Every predator-slash-
child molester

preys on 100
kids in his lifetime.

That's a lot of victims
and a lot of ruined lives.

I can't make this deal.

Look, if we can find a way to
put enough pressure on Amanda

then maybe she'll turn
over the evidence she has

and agree to do time.

That's a big if.

Or maybe Billy's computer
has something on it.

That's an even bigger if.

Steve, I know I
lost a big trial, but...

Annabeth, this is
not about trusting you.

It's about making
judgment calls.

That's 500 creeps, annabeth.

Indy 500.

But the killers walk, Jack.

People end up thinking
Bennet was a child molester.

How do we explain
that to his family?

I mean, if this had
happened to us

I wouldn't want
Haley's memory of you

to be that you were
some pedophile.

It wouldn't. You'd see to that.

So will Bennet's widow.

I just don't wanna give up.

So don't. It's not in
your nature, anyway.

I'm sorry I've been so busy.

Don't worry about it.

You know, one of the
benefits of me working so much

is that I get to save up
a lot of vacation time.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

We could use it to go somewhere.

Maybe somewhere exotic.

- Ooh. Exotic.
- Yeah.

- I like that.
- With a beach.

- Maybe topless.
- Not going to happen.

[Giggling]

I don't want us to be so busy
that we start drifting apart.

What about Haley?

Haley can stay with my mom.

So just the two
of us on a beach?

- Let me think about that.
- Oh!

[Phone ringing]

[Groans]

Well, you're not
on vacation yet.

[Groaning]

This is annabeth.

You cracked it?

The guys finally
opened Billy's files.

(Annabeth) Oh! Please tell me you
found enough to put the indy 500 away.

Sorry, we didn't.

Billy programmed
all this encryption

just to hide the
fact that he was only

watching one person online.

Just one?

Now, imagine that
this is your hand

and, when I do this

'it's you touching me.'

feels really good, Billy.

Lover.

'You're the only one.'

no one else gets
to do this but you.

Billy.

Thousands of hours of this girl

all perfectly cataloged,
too. Dates, times.

He watched her do everything.

This stuff, dressing,
homework, showers.

She had a webcam
in the bathroom?

(Jonathan) Bathroom,
bedroom, closet.

He watched her from all angles

'all day, all night,
all the time.'

this kid even watched her sleep.

(Amanda on video)
'Feels so good.'

oh, Billy..

I love you so much.

I dream about you doing this

all night long.

[Chuckles]

This was on your
computer, Billy.

Thousands of hours of
Amanda Ross on video.

I don't see what this
has to do with anything.

The kid had a crush
on her. So what?

You were obsessed with
her, weren't you, Billy?

Is that why you've
been protecting her?

Why you killed for her?

You helped her sell child
porn online, too, didn't you?

You're the one who
knows computers.

This is your last
chance to help yourself.

I'm not gonna testify
against Amanda.

Billy, she used you.
Can't you see that?

She took advantage of you.

Do you really think
she loves you?

Do you really believe you
were the only one watching her?

The only one she put on
these webcam shows for?

I know I was. I
programmed her webcam.

- I designed the software.
- Guess what.

She outsmarted you.

You logged every hour
of Amanda's private shows

so we compared the
times she was doing that..

To the times payments
were deposited

into her mycyberwire account.

She was selling a lot of tickets
to the shows you were watching.

(Doug) So, you
called this meeting.

I assume it's
regarding our proposal?

It is. We're rejecting it.

With all the hysteria
surrounding pedophiles nowadays

the jury is just going
to eat their story up.

Their story? Her story.

Billy's testifying against her.

Here's a counteroffer,
you confess

and turn over the
evidence you have

we'll consider a reduction in
the years you spend in prison.

- I don't think so.
- We'll see you in court then.

[Intense music]

Billy, why did you
kill Evan Bennet?

Because Amanda asked me to.

'Mr. Bennet had
figured out that'

she was making money
by getting her friends

to striptease and
do stuff on the web.

And she was scared that
we were going to go to jail.

- You, too?
- Yeah.

'Cause I helped her
with computer stuff.

Billy, will you describe
how you and Amanda

carried out your plan
to kill Mr. Bennet?

Yeah.

She got him to
meet her at a motel.

'My job was to wait'

in the car until she texted me.

That's when I went
up to the room..

And shot him.

Was that the entire plan?

No.

Amanda wanted to
make him look like a perv

'so she told him to
bring his camcorder.'

she said it was
for the interview

but it was really
to make it look

like he wanted to make a
video of them having sex.

She also brought rum to
make him stink like a drunk.

I-I poured..

Rum into his mouth
after I shot him.

And what happened next?

We were supposed
to wait for the police

and she was
going to act all, like

"oh, no! Oh, no!

The pervert molested me!"

[Crying]

But I chickened out and ran.

Well, that's some story.

Not the same story you
told the police though, is it?

No, sir.

It's the story you told
the prosecutor's office

in exchange for a more
favorable plea deal, isn't it?

- It's the truth.
- 'The truth?'

the truth is, you were the
one that shot Evan Bennet.

Yes.

(Doug) 'And now
you're trying to put'

the blame onto my client.

She told me to kill him.

(Doug) 'So she
forced you to do that?'

she put your
finger on the trigger

and she made you pull it?

She said..

She said I could touch her.

Excuse me?

Amanda said that if

that if I killed Mr. Bennet..

[Sobbing]

that I could touch her..

For real.

I loved her so much..

That I said yeah.

(Doug) 'So you are telling
me that you agreed to murder'

another human being
simply in exchange

for the chance to
touch this young lady?

Aren't you listening?

Oh, you're comin'
through loud and clear.

Amanda, why did you
agree to testify today?

Because I want the
people to know the truth

about what happened.

And because I
wanted them to know

how easy it is for
kids to be tricked

by pedophiles on the Internet.

So it doesn't happen
to other children.

That's right.

Why don't you begin
by telling the jury

how you first got
involved with webcams?

I got my first webcam
two years ago as a gift

from my grandparents so I
could chat with them in Florida.

Billy showed me how to use it.

(Doug) 'And at some
point did you begin

talking to other people besides

your grandma and grandpa online?

- Yes.
- Including strangers?

Yes.

Did any of these strangers

ever offer you money or gifts?

Yes, this guy offered to set up

a mycyberwire account for me

if I tried on my
bathing suit for him.

Then more guys started asking
me to do things for them, too.

What sort of things?

Exercises..

Aerobics.

One man wanted me to
paint my toenails for him.

It's not as creepy as it sounds.

Did these men ever ask you

to do sexual things for money?

Yes.

- Men like Evan Bennet?
- Yes.

Now did he ever, at any point

tell you that he was a reporter?

No. He tried to molest me.

He kept pawing me and
trying to get me to drink stuff.

That's why I texted Billy.

Now, Billy said you
already had a plan to kill him.

- Now, is that true?
- No.

I didn't know Billy
was gonna shoot him.

I didn't ask him to do that.

He did that on his own.

I think he was jealous.

Thank you, Amanda.

Amanda, just so we're clear.

You're saying you
never met Evan Bennet

before that night at the motel?

Never, not once.

And you had no idea he was
an investigative journalist?

- Is that your story?
- That's the truth.

The people would like to
recall Billy Hampton to the stand

as a rebuttal
witness, your honor.

(Annabeth) Billy, had
you ever seen Mr. Bennet

before that night you shot him?

- Yes.
- Where?

At a cafe, that's
where he and Amanda

met in person
for the first time.

'But they had talked before.'

'he said he was writing
a newspaper story'

about websites like hers.

She told me all about him.

- 'So why were you there?'
- 'To protect her.'

in case he turned
out to be a perv.

So you mean you followed Amanda

to the cafe without her knowing?

Yeah. They didn't see me.

I even took a picture.

Billy, I'd like you to look
at the people's exhibit.

Is this an enlargement
of the photo you took

'that day at the cafe?'

yes.

(Annabeth) 'So why did
Amanda and Mr. Bennet'

'meet later at the motel'

if they'd already
met at the cafe?

Because she didn't want
to do the interview in public.

She told him that
she'd only do it

somewhere really private.

Like a motel.

She'll plead to conspiracy
to commit murder

and give you the evidence
she has on the people

who purchased the webcasts.

- In exchange for?
- Eight years.

Same as Billy.

Billy cooperated. She'll do 20.

But Billy's the one that
came up with the idea

to sell the webcasts
to start with.

Amanda, it's over.
You can stop lying now.

I'm not! He's the one that
wanted Mr. Bennet dead.

He's the one that wanted
to protect the business.

Why would he? You're the
one who kept all the money.

That was my cut.

He made his money
blackmailing the pervs.

Some of these guys are
doctors, lawyers, businessmen.

(Amanda) Billy
tracked their purchases.

He told them he could
get them arrested.

Unless they paid him off.

To an offshore
account he set up.

Why didn't she tell
us about this before?

She thought if she had she
would've conceded her guilt.

She is guilty.

She's lying, again.

We obtained bank subpoenas

for your Webcast
customers, Billy.

'We know that dozens
of them withdrew'

'tens of thousands of dollars'

over the last six months
and it's only a matter of time

before we confirm that
they wired the money

into the same account, yours.

They'll never agree to testify.

We can be pretty persuasive.

We had a deal.

The deal's off.

Both Amanda and Billy have
agreed to do 20 years each.

And we're getting evidence
that could put hundreds

of sexual predators behind bars.

My daughter's five years old

and last fall we were online

talking to some of the kids
from her kindergarten class.

We didn't think
anything about it

until we realized some creep was
posing as one of her classmates.

As a five-year-old.

It's almost incomprehensible.

My husband died
trying to do something

for these children
who are victimized.

I'm just glad he
didn't die in vain.

So you and Jack are
really going away?

Yeah, we made plane
reservations for Hawaii.

Jack found this little place
on the beach with a view.

It's so romantic.

Ugh! I am so jealous.

[Chuckling]

(Annabeth) Hey, guys.

What is it?

Annabeth, there's
been an accident.

[Mellow music]

(Steve) Jack was driving home.

He was on his way
to pick up Haley.

He was hit by a drunk driver.

They've airlifted
him to the hospital.

He's okay though, right?

How badly was he hurt?

Tell me.

[Music continues]

I'm sorry.

[Crying]

[No audio]

No. Please, please, please.

[Sobbing]

Please don't..

Don't leave me.

Please don't leave me.

[Annabeth sobbing]

[Music continues]
