In New York City's war on crime

the worst criminal offenders
are pursued

by the detectives
of the Major Case Squad.

These are their stories.

Get a crash cart, stat.

Code Blue on Ward 11B.

North Block, bed 5.

Any peripheral pulses?

No.

V-fib.

She has a shockable rhythm.

Start at 200 joules.

Charging to 200.

Clear!

-Alton on post on 11
-B,
North Block.

You better catch
your breath

or we'll need
the crash cart for you.

I am so glad I was there
when Mrs. Taylor coded.

Not as glad
as she is, I bet.

She's going to be fine.

Dr. Gardetta's going to keep hersedated with Valium.

Good work, Colleen.

Looks like
you're a hero.

No, I'm not.

Did you see
in the papers

they're having
a book fair

on Third Avenue
this Saturday?

Yeah?

Well, I'm, you know, headed out
to Sheepshead Bay.

Check on my folks.

I'll see you later.

Will you come see
our new goldfish, Grandma?

Of course, honey.

Ma, are you all right?

I heard they had an emergency...

Mrs. Taylor.

She had a little thing
with her heart.

Okay, kids, let's let Grandma
go to sleep.

Bye, Grandma.

We love you.

I don't know what
I would've done if...

Stop staring.

How's your chest feel?

It's better.

The doctor says my lung
is healing fine.

I'm going to need
some help at home

when they let me
out of here.

We'll get one
of those home nurses.

Medicare won't pay for that.

How do you
know that?

You're always so negative
about everything.

Can't you come stay with me
for a while?

Ma, I've fed your cat

and watered your plants
for two weeks already.

Time for your pills.

Oh, I just want
to sleep...

It's all right, dear, you can
take them when you wake up.

Oh, I brought the paperwork
from Cutie Bear to sign.

You know, I think of you
in your apartment

all by yourself

with Lenny's
things everywhere.

And for the last time,
leave that poor woman alone.

Code Blue on Ward 11B.

North Block, bed 5.
-Code Blue on Ward 11
-B,

Mrs. Taylor.

She's dead.

Do the families know?

No. And they haven't
requested autopsies.

Did you advise them
against autopsies?

I'm a risk management
officer.

I always advise
against autopsies.

What about the risk
to other patients?

We have an obligation...

Our obligation is unclear.

I've asked Ed to advise us

on a course
of action.

You need a lawyer
to tell you what to do?

Matt, I understand
your feelings.

We will deal with this situationethically

but we won't fall on our sword.

Hello?

I'm calling
from Bellmore General.

I want to report a...

I want to report three murders.

Your anonymous caller
is grossly misinformed.

It's a statistical anomaly.

Long way from a murder.

Did you do autopsies

on these "anomalies"?

No.

Toxicology on blood
or tissue samples?

If tests were done

the results are covered
by patient confidentiality.

What makes these
anomalies anomalous?

All three patients were

on the surgery ward.

None had been admitted for
life-threatening conditions.

You're saying
they were misdiagnosed?

That's not what I said.

Okay, so they developed
life-threatening conditions

after they were admitted?

Either way,
the hospital's

on the hook.

Here are the names
of the patients we got

off the 911 call.

We want the addresses
of their families.

Then you can fax us
the names of everybody here

who had anything to do
with their treatment.

We'll expect it
by this afternoon.

this must be for you.

I can't believe
want to hurt her.

We're not sure anybody did.

The only surgery your wife had

was on her knee?

Yes, but then she got
an infection

from the cortisone shots.

Th-that's why she was still
in the hospital.

Did anything unusual happen
to her before she passed away?

Just that afternoon.

Her heart stopped.

She had what
they call

a Code Blue.

They resuscitated her.

She have a history
of heart problems?

Just high blood pressure.

It was under control.

Almonds.

Cyanide?

I can tell you already

how it's going to play out.

Angel of Death.

Probably not a doctor

more likely a nurse
or an orderly.

Single, late 20s to early 30s,lives alone or with a parent...

Average to above-average
intelligence, narcissistic

immature, likely to be
a screw-up on the job...

chronic lateness,
minor errors

that would show up
on a work record.

The hospital sent over

a list of 114 people

who had one thing or another
to do with the three victims.

Okay. I want to make sure

Mrs. Taylor's
not an isolated case.

You're going to talk
to the other families.

You're going to get autopsies.

No problem.

to the familieslk

try to curb your enthusiasm.

I'll curb it when we get
this freak locked in a box.

Poor Lenny.

Who would've imagined?

Pulmonary embolism
at age 44.

That's according
to that city doctor.

You don't believe him?

Hmm. Lenny was
a lot of things

but he was never sick.

What are you doing?

Just want to make sure
it's not all frozen.

What did you want to do,
plant tomatoes?

It's for when they put
the headstone.

We haven't even
ordered one yet.

We know where he is.

Trudy, he was
your husband.

At least pretend
you're sorry he's gone.

I am sorry.

Let's go
before you catch cold.

My husband wasn't supposed

to die.

He had his gall bladder removed.

He was a day away
from being released.

Did anything unusual
happen to him?

No.

But the man in the bed
next to him

he had a Code Blue
the day before Aaron died.

But him... they saved.

Excuse me.

Seems like a lot
of Code Blues
for a surgery ward.

When there's a Code Blue

Security has to go up
and cover the nurses' station.

Except up on
the surgery ward

you're the only
security

that showed up
every time.

Doesn't that seem
strange to you?

Well, there's not a lot of roomto move around in here.

So any chance I get,
I go out on the floors.

So when there's
a Code Blue

you're Johnny
on the spot?

I guess so.

I heard some of these

are worth a lot of money.

You collect them?

No, they're gifts.

From your wife
or your girlfriend?

No, I'm not married.

They're from a nurse.

She likes you.

Yeah, she's not
really my type.

Is she on the 11th floor?

How'd you know that?

Magic.

So what's this nurse's name?

Derrick's a nice man.

I'm sure he'd
never hurt anybody.

He seems to pop up every time
there's a Code Blue.

Is that your mom's
or your dad's?

My dad's.

You live here alone with him?

Looks like he needs
a lot of care.

Is that why
you're always late for work?

I'm not always late.

I'll bet your dad
doesn't appreciate

all the effort that you put out.

But they appreciate you
at the hospital.

I don't know about that...

You save
people's lives.

Like James McKee

six weeks ago,
when his heart stopped.

You called a Code.

I just happened to be there.

And Bruce Sonenshein,
in the same week.

People look up to you.

People like Derrick Alton.

It feels nice.

Yes.

Makes up for
the other looks you get

when you're late
or you make a mistake.

What did you
give them, Colleen

to make
their heart stop?

Oh, God...

I gave them adenosine...

It's a heart
medication.

For rapid heart rate.

But if you
give it

to someone with
a normal rate?

Their heart stops

just for 20 or 30 seconds.

It's not lethal...

But it's enough
to call a Code Blue.

Okay, Colleen.

Now tell us what you did with
Aaron Berkowitz, George Malloy

and Jenny Taylor.

They were poisoned
with cyanide.

I didn't do anything!

Saving people wasn't exciting...

No, I didn't

kill those people.

All I did was give Mrs. Taylor
adenosine

just to make her heart stop.

But I did not
give her cyanide.
I didn't.

You made her heart stop
the afternoon before she died?

Yes...

But, please,
I didn't kill anybody.

I didn't kill her...

Okay, Colleen,
stand up.

We're placing you
under arrest.

Is there somebody
who can come take
care of your dad?

Um, my sister.

You better call her.

I'll call CSU

have them check
the place for cyanide.

She didn't do it.

She's not the one.

She lives with her father.

She's a screw-up.

She wants attention.

She's all the
wonderful things

you said our Angel
of Death would be.

And she admits inducing
34 Code Blues.

Yes.

And when she got tired of that,she graduated to murder.

So... why are we
having this discussion?

Because once these people
graduate to murder

they don't look back.

She wouldn't
have induced

a Code Blue on
Jenny Taylor

before poisoning her
six hours later.

That wouldn't fit the profile.

And profiling is an art

and not a science,
isn't that so, Detective?

Science didn't find
a trace of cyanide

in Colleen Baxton's home.

The M.E. found partially
digested gelatin caps

containing cyanide

in all three
of the victims.

The capsules had the same
color and brand marks

as an over-the-counter headachemedication called Necedrol.

Whoa, I take that stuff.

So do the patients
at Bellmore General.

It's what they give them
for minor aches.

Nurse Baxton spiked the pills.

I'm telling you,
she's not the one.

She didn't do it.

There's someone else.

Look, tie her
to those poison pills.

I'll get the
FDA into the loop.

Nurse Colleen brought my boy

those Necedrol pills
around noon.

You saw him
take them?

Yeah.

Why?

Mr. Malloy, your son
died four hours later.

Cyanide would've acted
quicker than that.

Your son was
in a motorcycle accident.

He must've been
in a lot of pain.

He complained
they weren't

giving him enough pills.

I talked to the nurses about it

but they said
they couldn't do anything

without the
doctor's okay.

Must've been tough for you
to see him like that.

Yeah.

You wanted to do
something for him.

You gave him
some extra pills

some Necedrol
that afternoon?

Yeah.

Where did you
get them?

At the drugstore

across the street
from the hospital.

I bought a bottle...

Do you still have it?

Yeah.

For once, I was really
hoping you were wrong.

And I told him

I didn't see nobody

fooling with Mrs. Taylor's medication.

Why do you think
they were asking?

Why do you think, Ma?

Probably somebody did
something to Mrs. Taylor.

Oh, my God...

It could've been you.

Just think about that.

Well, you look tired.

Why don't you
go sit down?

There's a chair

in front of the
prescription counter.

I don't know why
we had to come here.

There's a perfectly
good drugstore

just around
the corner from me.

The prices are
better here.

Now go sit down-- I'll
be done in a minute.

All right.

Yes, any cyanide deaths
in the last three months.

Look, anything comes up,
you let us know pronto.

Looks like he's getting
the crap pounded out of him.

Here it comes,
Necedrol headache number 14.

Yes, that's right,
death by cyanide.

No, we're not kidding.

Yes, Goren, Major
Case Squad. Call me.

We hear from the lab
yet on that bottle?

No.

Upstairs has a theory,
want to hear it?

On her lunch break one day,
Nurse Colleen Baxton

walks across the street
to the drugstore

and plants a couple of hot pillsin a bottle of Necedrol.

What do you want me to say?

It's brilliant.

They want you
to look

at the nurse again,
and they want me

to shut down the phone bank.

What, are they insane?

They're worried
we're going to start a panic.

A panic might save lives.
It's terrorism.

Everyone's a
potential victim.

Okay, got it, thanks.

Over at the Two-Seven

in Midtown,
22-year-old female.

Cyanide poisoning six days ago.

Jeanine King was
out dancing with
her boyfriend.

They get home,
he passes out.

Next morning, he
trips over her

on his way
to the john.

Tox screen came back
positive for cyanide

so our gut reaction was--
go for the boyfriend.

How'd he get
his hands on cyanide?

Well, that's the thing.

The kid's just
a bike messenger.

With no access to a
chemical supply house

or university lab.

If he wanted
to kill the girl

it'd be easier
to crack her over the head

with his tire pump.

What came up in the search?

Nothing yet.

So are you going
to tell us

where to look or do we
have to play 20 questions?

The medicine cabinet.

You mean we got
a nut job out there?

You didn't hear it
from us, but yeah.

Someone's spiking
tablets of Necedrol.

Oh, really?

Okay, two questions.

How long have you
known about this

and just when were
you planning

to share it with the
rest of the world?

That's up
to the Commissioner's office.

Those idiots.

But if it were to leak out,
wouldn't be a bad thing.

The lab found two

cyanide-tainted capsules
in the Necedrol bottle

in Jeanine King's bathroom.

The tox exam turned up

both cyanide and
Necedrol in her system.

The boyfriend said

they bought the
bottle of Necedrol

in the city
three weeks ago

before the deaths
at the hospital.

Toss in the bottle
Mr. Malloy bought for his son

we've got
a product-tamperer out there.

I'll run this up

the food chain
so they can contact

the manufacturers
about a recall.

Other than that,
we're keeping a lid on.

Last thing we need
is public hysteria.

Deakins.

No, sir.

Call you back.

Sources inside the 27th Precinct

said the 22-year-old victim

took two Necedrol capsules
minutes before her death.

The sources also
told News Channel 4

the death might be related

to recent deaths
at Bellmore General Hospital.

Who the hell
opened their big yaps?

Deakins.

Hold it for a second.
What?

Phone canvass turned up
two more cyanide deaths.

The FDA turned up

ten bottles of tainted Necedrol.

The green dots show

where the original bottleswere purchased by the tamperer.

The blue dots show
where each bottle

was purchased by the victims.

We fed this stuff intoa geographic profiling program.

We start with
the "least effort" principle.

Most people who run out
for a gallon of milk

they go to the store
nearest home.

Criminals work the same way

but out of caution

they keep a buffer zone
around their home.

This is the buffer zone.

Outside that is the strike zone.

And here...

is the hot zone.

A three-block area
where the tamperer lives.

Have you identified
any possible suspects?

We fed the addresses

of hospital employees,
the six victims' families

and close friends, and...

present and past employees
of the Necedrol manufacturer

into the program.

There were no matches.

This program is reliable.

The killer
lives in the hot zone.

Thank you,
Detective.

You can leave us now.

Captain, you
started working off

another of Goren's profiles.

We had a shrink
look at Colleen Baxton.

She was a hop, skip and a jump
from going lethal.

Goren's profile saved lives.

And meanwhile,
the person who was lethal

was operating with impunity.

We're getting 1,000 phone callsper hour.

Nobody knows
how much

of this poison
there is out there.

You should've conducted

a two-track investigation.

My point, sir, is
however many tracks we have

we will catch this hump.

That's a promise.

And I'm concerned
because I think

my husband may have taken
Necedrol before he died.

A month ago.

I guess it would be okay
to dig him up.

No, I can come down
to your office.

Um, can I ask you, how long
would a lawsuit take?

Well, I'm not really
the kind of person

who goes around suing people.

It's just that Lenny--
he'd want me provided for.

The FDA analyzed the cyanide.

It's all
from the same batch

but they're still
trying to get a line

on where it came from.

I'll put out the word
to my own sources.

What sources?

Watchdog groups,
people who keep track

of shipments of
dangerous chemicals.

Tree-huggers.

Might be helpful
to get a line on a motive.

We haven't found
anybody with a motive

against any of
the six victims.

What about
the great American pastime?

Which one? Dieting or
cheating on your taxes?

Suing.

So far, our nationwide
recall's costing us

tens of millions of dollars.

Not to mention the cost of
redesigning our packaging.

Anyone file
a suit against you?

Nine lawsuits so far.

We plan to settle them
as quickly as possible.

You said nine lawsuits?

action suits
Two class-

but those are non-starters.

Plus the suits by the families
of the seven victims.

Seven? We only
know of six.

So did we until
a couple of days ago.

Leonard Pomeranski of Manhattan.

Died of cyanide
poisoning five weeks ago.

Uh... Why did it
take five weeks

to hear about it?

Mr. Pomeranski was
originally diagnosed

as having died of a
pulmonary embolism.

When the tampering story broke,his widow had his body exhumed.

An autopsy found cyanide
mixed with Necedrol

in his system.

If we can be helpful
in any other way

please let us know.

You bet.

Thanks for coming in.

Pomeranski doesn't
live in the hot zone.

He was the first to die,
first to be poisoned.

Somebody had to be first.

Well, as Leonard
Pomeranski might say...

why me?

I know you're very selective

about your franchisees.

This is the second
time I've applied.

I see your boutique
experience is a little...

Lacking, I know

but I have learned so much

about children's clothes
working at Macy's

and I've been taking
business classes...

May I speak frankly,
Miss Pomeranski?

I'm quite concerned
about financing.

Now, despite the fact
that you had someone

cosign for the credit...

Oh, that's
not a problem.

See, I'm expecting a large
check at the end of the month.

It's a settlement
from a lawsuit.

It means that I can make

the entire first
year's license payment

as soon as I get that check.

I'm going to send your
application upstairs

for further review

and we will be in touch
with you very shortly.

The thing is, I knew it wasn't
a pulmonary embolism.

With Lenny, it was like
he ate something

that didn't
agree with him.

Like a bad heartburn.

He went to lie down

and he never
got back up.

I called 911 right away
but it was too late.

What are they doing?

It's standard.

All the victims' homes
got searched.

How did you know

your husband
took the Necedrol?

Did you see him?

No, but I remember
he had a bad headache

when he got home from work.

The drugstore where
you bought the Necedrol

is not exactly
around the corner.

They have

better prices
over there.

I noticed
that there's no pictures

of you and your husband.

We didn't like
taking pictures.

Lenny always thought
he looked too fat.

Wedding pictures?

I like looking
at wedding pictures.

I threw them all out.

It was too depressing.

I don't
like to dwell.

Right, you got
to move on with your life.

Yes.

That's a franchise operation.

I thought you worked
in a department store.

I do.

It's just something
I'm thinking about.

More getting on
with your life.

Yeah, like that.

With all the bad memories

you'll probably want
to move soon.

Oh, no.

This place
is rent-controlled.

Yes, both sides
of the application.

I understand.

As soon as possible.
Thank you.

No trace of cyanide
in her apartment.

Something here
stinks.

Too bad it's
not almonds.

What do you know,
the tree hugger.

The way the FDA works

they call up
the chemical companies

and say, "Hey, did you ship
any cyanide lately?

No? Okay, thanks."

How do you work?

Hey, the baby
can sign.

It's his ocean, too.

Didn't Bobby tell you?

We got alternative methods
of gathering information.

You hack into
the company's
computers?

If you're going
to make it sound
illegal...

What'd you find?

A company in the lovely
state of Oklahoma

shipped ten ounces
of cyanide

to a photo supply store
in the West Village.

Are you sure?

What's the big deal?

They stopped
using cyanide

for photo processing
ten years ago.

That was the
first tip-off.

Second one was
the cyanide
was shipped

two weeks before
people started dying.

What store?

Marlon's Camera.

But they went
out of business
two years ago.

Post office had the
forwarding address.

480 West 12th Street.

Right smack in
the hot zone.

Who is it?

I'm a police officer, ma'am.

-There's an emergency.
-I need access to your apartment.

What's going
on here?

What emergency?

This is.
It's a search warrant.

This is a search for what?

A package
of dangerous chemicals

was mailed
to this address.

I don't know anything
about that.

Marlon Camera Supply.
Is this you?

That was my husband's store.

He passed away two years ago.

Are you
Loretta Marlon?

Yes.

Your Percocet.
Had an operation lately?

Yeah, two weeks ago.

Bellmore General?

Mrs. Marlon?

Who's this?

Why, that's my daughter.

Trudy Pomeranski.

They already asked me

at the hospital
about Mrs. Taylor.

I told them
I don't know anything.

Did you or your daughter
every visit Mr. Berkowitz?

He was five doors down from you.

No.

But Trudy went
to the drugstore

across the
street, right?

To get some magazines
and some candy?

No.

Are you sure?

Because we heard
somebody saw her there.

Not her.

And she was seen
in Dwyer's

on Eighth and Broadway.

That's where Jeanine King
bought her Necedrol

that killed her.

Susan Cassadine,
she got hers

at the Shop-Rite
at Seventh and Waverly.

And Winnette Wong's daughter
bought them at the Gaydoses

near Union Square.

And then
your son-in-law Leonard.

All these innocent people dead
because they took the cyanide

the chemical
company shipped
to your address.

No.

When you were
in the hospital

who took care of your cat
and your flowers?

It was Trudy

right?

And she planted
all those tainted bottles

while she was coming
and going from your place.

Look at them, Mrs. Marlon.

Don't these people's families
have a right

to know what happened?

You could tell them.

It's the decent thing to do.

I'm sorry.

I don't know anything.

Trudy did this.

I know it,
Detective Eames knows it.

You know it.

We'll talk
to the D.A.

We'll make sure
she's not hurt.

There's a whole machine

out there waiting
to chew her up.

You have it in your power
to save her.

I want someone to help me!

I want a lawyer!

Where's the evidencethis package was even delivered?

You said yourself
it was sent to an old address.

As soon as the company
finds the signed receipt

we'll have the evidence.

For God's sakes, Ron

you think this old lady
with one and a half lungs

ran around the hospitallike some tooth fairy from hell?

No, but her daughter
probably did

and your client
is covering for her.

Then subpoena her.

In the meantime,
she's not under arrest

I'm taking her home.

See ya.

Quite a
pistolero.

Question is,
how tough is her client?

Might get her to talk
two or three months from now.

She shut down
in there.

She's in shock.

The idea that her daughter
is responsible

for seven murdersis too horrible to contemplate.

We can't afford to wait
for three months.

The FDA planning
a second look

at Trudy Pomeranski's
apartment?

Yeah, we're
also bringing in

the FBI lab
as a backup.

Let's keep
our fingers crossed.

I feel bad
for Mrs. Marlon.

She reminds me
of my grandma.

Are you going
to share

with the rest of the class?

It's a fax from
Cutie Bear Baby Clothes.

Trudy Pomeranski filled out
this application

for a franchise.

This is the contract she signed.

It's 100,000 bucks
to buy in.

Funny how she can
afford it now.

Here's your motive.

Trudy killed six innocent peopleto hide the fact

she killed her husband
for the lawsuit money.

You can lay
that same motive
on everybody

who's suing the drug company.

Still doesn't get you past
square one.

Baby clothes?

The contract has
a morals clause.

"If a franchisee causes
by whatever means

"negative publicity for
or associations with

"the Cutie Bear Brand

"this will constitute
a material breach

"and the company may terminate
the contract without prejudice

or compensation..."

Detective?

Get an indictment
against the mother.

For what?
Murder.

With what?

With whatever.

Come on.
Don't you have

the grand jury
eating out of your hand?

I bet you can
indict that clock.

I must be
losing my mind.

Didn't we just agree
the daughter did it?

Trust me.
We start with the mother.

Isn't it great?
My office will be over there.

The company has this policy

they won't take back
what you can't sell

but I already made
this closeout deal

with this department store
in Puerto Rico

so you see, Mom,
I haven't even opened yet

and I'm already in profit.

You haven't heard
one word I've said.

Trudy, they think
you killed people.

If that was true
I'd be in jail.

Anyway, I didn't do anything
so don't worry about it.

Trudy, did you use
Dad's old account

for ordering cyanide
from that chemical company?

No.

Look at these clothes.
They're so cute.

How much is all
this costing?

The settlement money's
taking care of it.

Would you quit worrying
and just be happy for me?

Trudy, what have
you done?

Ma, don't talk
like that.

Did you kill Lenny?

They feel so soft.

Answer me!

You are so negative.

You always think
the worst of me.

The only reason
I married Lenny

was so that you wouldn't
think I was a slut

for sleeping with him.

You've never cared
what I wanted.

Well, now I got
what I want, Ma

and I'm not going
to let you spoil it for me.

This hospital record

People's Grand Jury
exhibit four

reflects the fact that
Mrs. Marlon was on the ward

at the same time as victims twoand three were poisoned

and that she shared a room
with victim number four.

That concludes
the People's evidence.

Yes?

Is there any evidence at all

that she tampered
with those bottles?

As your legal advisor

I'm telling you that is notrelevant to your deliberations.

Ladies and gentlemen

of the grand jury,
let me remind you

that the appropriate standard
of law to be applied here

is legally sufficient evidence

and reasonable cause to believe.

I will leave you
to deliberate

and vote in
this case.

I...

I'm going to ask you
to trust me on this one.

Thank you.

Here we go.

Sir.

Thank you.

From a wink to a nod

to an indictment.

People v. Loretta Marlon.

Seven counts of murder
in the first degree.

How do you plead, Mrs. Marlon?

Mrs. Marlon?

All right, Ms. O'Brien,
we will enter

a plead of "not guilty"
to your client

if that will work for you?

It does. Thank
you, Judge.

People on bail?

In light of the
severity of these
crimes

we ask for remand,
Your Honor.

In light of the weakness
of their evidence

remand's absurd.

The evidence passed muster
with the grand jury.

Oh, right. Was my
client indicted

before or after
the ham sandwich?

Very amusing, Ms. O'Brien.

Your client is remanded
without bail.

Next!

Docket number 734-916.

People v. Lewis.

That's docket number 734-916.

You're absolutely sure?

This is her mother.

I don't want to tell you
your business

but if it gets out
that Trudy

bought one of your franchises

Cutie Bear's going to become
Cyanide Bear to most people.

Just something to think about.

Have a good day.

I don't understand.

I have all the money I need
from the settlement.

Yes, but that's
not the issue.

Section 16 of the
Standard Terms...

the morals clause.

"If a franchisee causes
negative publicity

"for the Cutie Bear brand

the company may
void the contract."

But I haven't done
anything wrong.

Your mother is charged
with seven murders.

That doesn't have anything
to do with me.

Unfortunately it does.

People will find out
who your mother is.

We sell baby clothes.

Baby clothes cannot be
associated in the public mind

with a cyanide killer.

But my mother didn't do it.

And we will wait
until there's
a final disposition.

But unless she's cleared

the company
will have no choice

but to void
your franchise agreement.

I'm sorry.

No! No!

This is just so awful
and so unfair.

Please, have a seat.

My mother never hurt anybody
in her whole life.

Sometimes people
do things

when they get old
and they're alone.

But she wasn't alone.

She had me.

She can't have done this.

She's innocent.

Well, no, see, Mrs. Pomeranski

we have a lot of good evidence
against her.

The cyanide that was sent
to her house

the fact that she
was in the hospital

when those people
were killed...

And she hasn't exactly
been jumping up and down

saying that
she's innocent.

You saw her in court.

Innocent people
don't act like that.

She looked guilty.

Even the D.A. said so.

But she had no reason
to do this.

Maybe she got angry

about the tumor
in her lung.

Maybe she decided
to take it out

on the drug companies.

Or maybe she just
didn't like Lenny.

Didn't like the way
he treated you.

No, Lenny treated me fine.

Ma got along with him.

Or maybe she felt
sorry for you.

She wanted to help you

to create a situation

where you could make money
suing the drug company.

You think that's
possible?

Ma's not that smart
to think of that.

Well, whatever the reason...

there's just no way she's
not going to jail for this.

But she didn't do it.

Can't you see?
It's not possible.

I'm sure you believe that

but we can only go by
what's in front of us.

You know, we could be wrong.

I mean, someone could
walk in here tomorrow
and say they did it.

Does that happen?

Not a lot.

But it's probably more likely
in a case like this.

Why? What do you mean?

Well, people who commit
this kind of crime

they want attention.

If they see
someone else

getting the credit,
they'll let us know.

They'll call

or write a letter
to the newspaper.

But usually it turns out
it's just some crackpot.

How do you know it is?

They have to prove
to us they did it.

They tell us something
about the crime.

Something only
they would know.

Or give us a
piece of evidence

like the
murder weapon.

It takes something like thatto make us believe a confession.

Take our
word for it

without something
like that

there's nothing that's
going to change our mind

about your mother.

I just can't believe this.

We don't want to give you
false hope, Mrs. Pomeranski.

You have to prepare
yourself for the truth

that your mother killed
those seven people.

You understand me?

We're very...

sorry about
your situation.

The-the officer
will show you out.

Car three,
you stay with her.

We'll stay
with the mailbox.

Yes?

Very nice.

Oh, thank you.

It's too bad.

What's too bad?

You dropped this
in the mailbox.

No, I...

We have it all
on videotape.

It smells like almonds.

I'll bet you know what else
smells like almonds.

Trudy Pomeranski,
you're under arrest.

No.

Please, turn around.

No! No!

No!

Trudy, I don't
want to hurt you.

No, no, no, I don't want to go.

Please, please, please.

No, no!

Please, don't make me go!

No.

Come with us, ma'am.

to remain silent.
You have the right

Anything you say

used against you
can and will be

in a court of law.

They're adorable.

That's what dreams
are made of.

Bad dreams.
