1
00:00:01,401 --> 00:00:02,636
Previously on The Practice...
2
00:00:02,669 --> 00:00:03,804
Is this all of it?
3
00:00:03,837 --> 00:00:05,972
This is every penny
I can get my hands on.
4
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:07,107
Oh!
5
00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:08,208
You got till tomorrow.
6
00:00:09,543 --> 00:00:12,445
Twelve thousand
on number four to win.
7
00:00:12,478 --> 00:00:14,648
Go get them, baby!
Go get them, go!
8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,755
I won.
9
00:00:21,788 --> 00:00:23,590
I got in a jam with a bookie.
10
00:00:23,624 --> 00:00:25,592
I borrowed money
for, like, seven hours.
11
00:00:25,626 --> 00:00:28,629
You took from a client's
trust fund. That's theft.
12
00:00:28,662 --> 00:00:31,932
We're required to notify
the client and the bar.
13
00:00:31,965 --> 00:00:34,134
If I don't, this whole firm
could get disbarred.
14
00:00:34,701 --> 00:00:36,412
I can't even believe
they're letting him out.
15
00:00:36,436 --> 00:00:38,238
Remember, he was never
actually charged
16
00:00:38,271 --> 00:00:40,406
in the kidnapping of your son.
17
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:41,675
The police know he did it.
18
00:00:41,708 --> 00:00:43,009
They just couldn't prove it.
19
00:00:43,043 --> 00:00:45,478
Plus, he's a convicted
child molester.
20
00:00:45,946 --> 00:00:48,515
What, exactly,
are you hiring me to do?
21
00:00:48,549 --> 00:00:50,951
We want to bury our son.
22
00:00:50,984 --> 00:00:52,919
Only he knows where the body is.
23
00:00:52,953 --> 00:00:55,121
Wrongful death for a murder
24
00:00:55,155 --> 00:00:57,390
that took place 18 years ago?
25
00:00:57,423 --> 00:00:58,825
They want closure.
26
00:00:58,859 --> 00:01:00,794
If I can create the threat
of a lawsuit,
27
00:01:00,827 --> 00:01:02,395
maybe we can get
this guy to reveal
28
00:01:02,428 --> 00:01:03,496
where the remains are.
29
00:01:03,530 --> 00:01:04,531
I didn't do it.
30
00:01:04,565 --> 00:01:05,799
Like you never molested
31
00:01:05,832 --> 00:01:08,001
those three little boys
who put you in here?
32
00:01:08,034 --> 00:01:11,104
I had nothing to do
with that Baldwin kid
33
00:01:11,137 --> 00:01:12,138
going missing.
34
00:01:12,172 --> 00:01:14,007
Have your attorney call me.
35
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,476
You never did see him
abduct your son, did you?
36
00:01:16,510 --> 00:01:17,744
I didn't see it, but...
37
00:01:17,778 --> 00:01:19,312
So it could
have been somebody else.
38
00:01:19,345 --> 00:01:20,747
Nobody else was near Chad.
39
00:01:20,781 --> 00:01:23,517
Can you account
for such a coincidence
40
00:01:23,550 --> 00:01:25,886
a soon-to-be-convicted
child molester
41
00:01:25,919 --> 00:01:28,454
is within 50 feet of a child
42
00:01:28,488 --> 00:01:31,057
at the exact time
he's kidnapped?
43
00:01:31,091 --> 00:01:31,958
Objection.
44
00:01:31,992 --> 00:01:33,994
I'm going to let this case
go forward,
45
00:01:34,027 --> 00:01:35,738
but, Mr. Donnell, if you don't
come up with more,
46
00:01:35,762 --> 00:01:37,964
I will be dismissing it
at a later date.
47
00:01:38,632 --> 00:01:39,332
Mr. Donnell?
48
00:01:39,365 --> 00:01:40,466
Yes.
49
00:01:40,501 --> 00:01:43,036
I think I may be Chad Baldwin.
50
00:01:51,377 --> 00:01:53,079
What makes you think
you're Chad Baldwin?
51
00:01:53,113 --> 00:01:56,482
I think my mother can answer
that better than I can.
52
00:01:56,517 --> 00:01:58,451
However, I want your assurance
53
00:01:58,484 --> 00:02:00,220
that she's not going to get
in any trouble.
54
00:02:00,754 --> 00:02:01,888
Why would she?
55
00:02:02,488 --> 00:02:06,359
Um, the man
who kidnapped Chad Baldwin...
56
00:02:06,392 --> 00:02:07,861
the man that you sued...
57
00:02:07,894 --> 00:02:09,229
John Pierce.
58
00:02:09,262 --> 00:02:11,532
He's the man who gave me
to my mother.
59
00:02:13,266 --> 00:02:15,669
In Brockton, in 1983.
60
00:02:15,702 --> 00:02:19,039
It was the same year that
the Baldwins' child disappeared.
61
00:02:19,072 --> 00:02:21,307
He wasn't using
the same name then...
62
00:02:21,341 --> 00:02:23,677
But gave you a child?
63
00:02:23,710 --> 00:02:25,045
Why didn't you go to the police?
64
00:02:25,078 --> 00:02:27,480
Because he told her
I was his son.
65
00:02:27,514 --> 00:02:30,350
He asked me to watch James
for a few days
66
00:02:30,383 --> 00:02:32,118
while he went out of town.
67
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,355
He never came back.
68
00:02:35,388 --> 00:02:36,890
Excuse me.
69
00:02:36,923 --> 00:02:38,763
Chad's picture was all over
the news for weeks.
70
00:02:38,792 --> 00:02:41,027
How could you not have known
he had been kidnapped?
71
00:02:41,061 --> 00:02:43,630
She didn't,
and we're not here for you
72
00:02:43,664 --> 00:02:45,465
to cross-examine her
like she's a criminal.
73
00:02:45,498 --> 00:02:47,668
I never watch television.
74
00:02:47,701 --> 00:02:49,503
I didn't even own one
at the time.
75
00:02:49,536 --> 00:02:51,938
I know that seems hard
to believe, but...
76
00:02:53,339 --> 00:02:55,275
I wasn't hiding him.
77
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:57,711
You will have to talk
to the police.
78
00:02:58,512 --> 00:02:59,479
And probably talk
79
00:02:59,513 --> 00:03:00,947
to the district attorney
as well.
80
00:03:00,981 --> 00:03:02,549
I know,
81
00:03:02,583 --> 00:03:04,317
and I know I should have
gone to them
82
00:03:04,350 --> 00:03:06,687
18 years ago.
83
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,388
Whatever I did wrong,
84
00:03:08,421 --> 00:03:11,858
I am willing to accept
the consequences.
85
00:03:12,893 --> 00:03:15,095
Now that I realize who he is
86
00:03:15,128 --> 00:03:17,263
and what the Baldwins
have gone through...
87
00:03:19,633 --> 00:03:21,768
And this is why
you're coming forward?
88
00:03:21,802 --> 00:03:24,805
That, and because
James has the right
89
00:03:24,838 --> 00:03:26,807
to know his birth parents.
90
00:03:29,643 --> 00:03:32,579
Do you even remember
John Pierce?
91
00:03:33,413 --> 00:03:34,848
No, no, I don't even remember
92
00:03:34,881 --> 00:03:37,651
being Chad Baldwin.
93
00:03:37,684 --> 00:03:38,952
And you're really sure you are?
94
00:03:41,888 --> 00:03:45,559
A picture of my mother
with John Pierce.
95
00:03:45,592 --> 00:03:48,061
She always told me
that he was my father,
96
00:03:49,796 --> 00:03:52,766
and then I saw the news,
97
00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:55,135
and he's not my father.
98
00:03:55,168 --> 00:03:57,203
I'm the boy he kidnapped.
99
00:04:50,957 --> 00:04:52,192
Are you sure?
100
00:04:52,225 --> 00:04:54,494
No, we're not sure.
101
00:04:54,528 --> 00:04:56,597
That's why we need you
to take a blood test.
102
00:04:56,630 --> 00:04:58,364
We've already taken his and...
103
00:04:58,398 --> 00:05:00,233
He thought Pierce
was his father?
104
00:05:00,266 --> 00:05:02,402
Until a few days ago, yes.
105
00:05:02,435 --> 00:05:04,738
And the woman said
she got him from Pierce?
106
00:05:04,771 --> 00:05:07,273
Yes. Richard, Jenny,
107
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:10,310
there was a lot of news
coverage on this.
108
00:05:10,343 --> 00:05:11,845
Occasionally, there are people
109
00:05:11,878 --> 00:05:13,914
who will try to take advantage
of a situation,
110
00:05:13,947 --> 00:05:16,182
no matter how tragic.
111
00:05:16,216 --> 00:05:18,752
By pretending to be our son?
112
00:05:18,785 --> 00:05:20,353
We don't know.
113
00:05:21,021 --> 00:05:22,488
You have money.
114
00:05:22,523 --> 00:05:24,758
That's why we want to take
the blood test.
115
00:05:25,726 --> 00:05:26,693
He must think
116
00:05:26,727 --> 00:05:28,161
there's a good chance he's Chad,
117
00:05:28,194 --> 00:05:29,229
or he wouldn't have come.
118
00:05:29,262 --> 00:05:31,231
We're exploring
the possibilities.
119
00:05:32,432 --> 00:05:33,834
When can I see him?
120
00:05:33,867 --> 00:05:35,736
Let us check things out first.
121
00:05:35,769 --> 00:05:37,580
If he isn't Chad, we don't want
your disappointment
122
00:05:37,604 --> 00:05:39,640
to be any greater
than it has to be.
123
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:41,875
My wife and I
are very good at dealing
124
00:05:41,908 --> 00:05:43,076
with disappointment.
125
00:05:43,810 --> 00:05:45,779
We've had years of practice.
126
00:05:45,812 --> 00:05:47,147
We don't need you to decide
127
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:48,749
how much we can take.
128
00:05:48,782 --> 00:05:52,252
We'll do the blood test
and go from there.
129
00:05:56,489 --> 00:05:57,791
Anybody who knows this woman,
130
00:05:57,824 --> 00:05:59,359
knew her, knew somebody
who knows her
131
00:05:59,392 --> 00:06:00,961
we need to support
her testimony.
132
00:06:00,994 --> 00:06:02,772
Otherwise, it will be
her word against Pierce's.
133
00:06:02,796 --> 00:06:03,906
I'm on it.
Lindsay, if you could stay
134
00:06:03,930 --> 00:06:05,065
on the lab.
They've only had
135
00:06:05,098 --> 00:06:06,032
the blood an hour.
They could test it
136
00:06:06,066 --> 00:06:08,802
in 20 minutes and be 99% sure.
137
00:06:08,835 --> 00:06:09,870
They still in my office?
138
00:06:09,903 --> 00:06:11,371
Waiting.
Come on, Ellenor.
139
00:06:18,378 --> 00:06:19,880
Bobby or Eugene here?
140
00:06:19,913 --> 00:06:21,081
Bobby's in a meeting,
141
00:06:21,114 --> 00:06:23,249
but Eugene's in his office.
142
00:06:27,253 --> 00:06:29,055
Can I talk to you a second?
143
00:06:39,966 --> 00:06:41,768
I, uh...
144
00:06:41,802 --> 00:06:44,871
I've joined Gamblers Anonymous.
145
00:06:44,905 --> 00:06:47,440
I go to three meetings a week.
146
00:06:47,473 --> 00:06:49,976
I'm also going
to a regular therapist.
147
00:06:50,010 --> 00:06:54,214
So I feel confident
that I'll be okay.
148
00:06:55,516 --> 00:06:56,617
Good.
149
00:06:58,619 --> 00:07:01,021
I'd like to apologize
to the firm.
150
00:07:01,054 --> 00:07:03,156
I was thinking...
That can't happen.
151
00:07:03,189 --> 00:07:05,358
Rest of the people here
don't even know, Jimmy.
152
00:07:05,391 --> 00:07:07,628
Should they know,
they become obligated by law
153
00:07:07,661 --> 00:07:10,731
to report you.
I guess what I'm saying,
154
00:07:10,764 --> 00:07:12,699
I'm willing to accept it
155
00:07:12,733 --> 00:07:15,068
if that's what anybody
chooses to do.
156
00:07:15,101 --> 00:07:18,271
But nobody will choose to do it.
That's the problem.
157
00:07:18,304 --> 00:07:20,016
They'll keep your secret
and be potentially liable
158
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,074
for doing so.
159
00:07:21,107 --> 00:07:23,143
If you really want
to protect them here,
160
00:07:23,176 --> 00:07:24,678
do not tell.
161
00:07:25,779 --> 00:07:26,780
Okay.
162
00:07:29,883 --> 00:07:32,553
Are we okay?
163
00:07:32,586 --> 00:07:34,054
You and me?
164
00:07:39,860 --> 00:07:41,595
Do I forgive you?
165
00:07:41,628 --> 00:07:43,129
Yes.
166
00:07:43,163 --> 00:07:45,766
Am I here to help you
any way I can?
167
00:07:45,799 --> 00:07:47,801
Maybe.
168
00:07:47,834 --> 00:07:51,638
But are we okay, like
everything's back to normal?
169
00:07:51,672 --> 00:07:52,673
No.
170
00:07:55,375 --> 00:07:57,310
I don't trust you as much.
171
00:08:00,847 --> 00:08:02,983
Well...
172
00:08:03,016 --> 00:08:04,951
that's a pretty big loss.
173
00:08:04,985 --> 00:08:07,120
Yes, it is,
174
00:08:07,153 --> 00:08:08,421
and, Jimmy...
175
00:08:09,890 --> 00:08:11,324
it's not just yours.
176
00:08:14,094 --> 00:08:16,396
That ever occur to you?
177
00:08:20,033 --> 00:08:21,835
The thing is,
178
00:08:21,868 --> 00:08:25,238
The police will want
to talk to you.
179
00:08:25,271 --> 00:08:26,483
Why do they even
have to find out?
180
00:08:26,507 --> 00:08:28,509
If you're really Chad Baldwin,
181
00:08:28,542 --> 00:08:29,943
it will get out.
182
00:08:29,976 --> 00:08:33,714
A kidnapped child comes back
after 18 years?
183
00:08:33,747 --> 00:08:35,115
This will eventually get out.
184
00:08:35,949 --> 00:08:37,709
And you are going to be
considered a suspect.
185
00:08:38,118 --> 00:08:39,119
You kept the child.
186
00:08:39,152 --> 00:08:40,821
You never contacted the police.
187
00:08:40,854 --> 00:08:43,256
You will certainly be
considered an accessory.
188
00:08:43,289 --> 00:08:45,091
I thought he was Pierce's son.
189
00:08:45,125 --> 00:08:47,427
Yes, and assuming that's true,
190
00:08:47,460 --> 00:08:50,130
if you try to be sneaky
about this now,
191
00:08:50,163 --> 00:08:52,298
you will lose all credibility
with the police
192
00:08:52,332 --> 00:08:54,167
when they come
to ask you questions,
193
00:08:54,868 --> 00:08:58,004
and they will come.
194
00:08:58,038 --> 00:08:59,940
So what are you
suggesting we do?
195
00:08:59,973 --> 00:09:02,609
Assuming you are Chad Baldwin,
196
00:09:02,643 --> 00:09:05,812
I'd like to go to the district
attorney's office.
197
00:09:05,846 --> 00:09:07,280
I think we can make a deal.
198
00:09:08,615 --> 00:09:11,518
I'm hopeful
they'll give you immunity.
199
00:09:11,552 --> 00:09:14,020
And what would I have
to give them?
200
00:09:14,054 --> 00:09:15,856
John Pierce.
201
00:09:15,889 --> 00:09:17,724
You can put him away.
202
00:09:19,793 --> 00:09:21,928
Can you promise
she'll be protected?
203
00:09:25,165 --> 00:09:26,166
No.
204
00:09:28,669 --> 00:09:30,170
Bobby, line 2.
205
00:09:30,203 --> 00:09:31,437
It's the lab.
206
00:09:39,479 --> 00:09:41,815
Bobby Donnell.
207
00:09:44,585 --> 00:09:47,487
Send me the report.
208
00:09:47,521 --> 00:09:49,255
Thank you.
209
00:09:53,326 --> 00:09:55,228
Well, it seems
you're Chad Baldwin.
210
00:10:03,069 --> 00:10:05,506
The blood test is conclusive.
211
00:10:05,539 --> 00:10:06,807
It's him.
212
00:10:08,041 --> 00:10:09,676
He's your son.
213
00:10:10,577 --> 00:10:12,546
Oh, my god.
214
00:10:12,579 --> 00:10:14,781
We found our son.
215
00:10:24,257 --> 00:10:25,726
When can we see him?
216
00:10:25,759 --> 00:10:28,028
He says he'd like to do it
at the office.
217
00:10:28,061 --> 00:10:29,996
I need to sit down.
I'm shaking.
218
00:10:35,936 --> 00:10:37,871
And this woman
is willing to testify
219
00:10:37,904 --> 00:10:39,272
against Pierce?
220
00:10:39,305 --> 00:10:41,508
We can finally put him
behind bars?
221
00:10:41,542 --> 00:10:43,143
I think she'd like to,
222
00:10:43,176 --> 00:10:44,377
but she could change her mind
223
00:10:44,410 --> 00:10:45,546
and take the fifth.
224
00:10:45,579 --> 00:10:46,780
Why would she do that?
225
00:10:46,813 --> 00:10:48,181
She came forward.
226
00:10:48,214 --> 00:10:50,250
James is afraid
227
00:10:50,283 --> 00:10:52,118
she might be charged
with something.
228
00:10:52,152 --> 00:10:53,754
James?
229
00:10:53,787 --> 00:10:55,622
That's his name.
230
00:10:58,659 --> 00:11:00,060
Here's what we want.
231
00:11:02,028 --> 00:11:04,364
We want our son back,
232
00:11:04,397 --> 00:11:05,365
and we want the man
233
00:11:05,398 --> 00:11:07,467
who kidnapped him punished.
234
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:10,303
And you're willing
to not punish her?
235
00:11:10,336 --> 00:11:12,138
I'd like to go to the D. A.
236
00:11:12,172 --> 00:11:13,182
And tell her the two of you
237
00:11:13,206 --> 00:11:14,407
the victims are in favor
238
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,776
of granting Allison Tucker
239
00:11:15,809 --> 00:11:17,844
some kind of immunity.
240
00:11:17,878 --> 00:11:20,313
We could get you
and your son reunited
241
00:11:20,346 --> 00:11:24,150
and put Mr. Pierce
back in prison.
242
00:11:24,184 --> 00:11:25,652
Let's do that.
243
00:11:33,994 --> 00:11:36,530
90% of the people
who walk into my office
244
00:11:36,563 --> 00:11:37,898
promising me a conviction
245
00:11:37,931 --> 00:11:39,299
in exchange for immunity
246
00:11:39,332 --> 00:11:41,401
are a lot more involved
than they admit.
247
00:11:41,434 --> 00:11:43,436
And I'll bet 90% of that 90%
248
00:11:43,469 --> 00:11:44,505
are people who know
249
00:11:44,538 --> 00:11:45,715
they're about to be picked up.
250
00:11:45,739 --> 00:11:47,207
Allison Tucker
would have never been
251
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,809
prosecuted on anything.
252
00:11:48,842 --> 00:11:51,111
You're asking me
to make a blind bid.
253
00:11:51,144 --> 00:11:53,279
The Baldwins support it.
254
00:11:54,548 --> 00:11:55,649
If the victims of the crime
255
00:11:55,682 --> 00:11:57,217
want to give this woman immunity
256
00:11:57,250 --> 00:11:58,451
and help you convict the man
257
00:11:58,484 --> 00:12:00,486
we both know is responsible,
258
00:12:00,521 --> 00:12:02,589
Helen, where's the downside?
259
00:12:02,623 --> 00:12:04,591
Yeah, I need more.
260
00:12:05,491 --> 00:12:06,860
I'll make a proffer
261
00:12:06,893 --> 00:12:09,129
that she can put John Pierce
262
00:12:09,162 --> 00:12:11,532
with Chad Baldwin in 1983.
263
00:12:11,565 --> 00:12:13,499
You've never had that.
264
00:12:13,534 --> 00:12:16,336
Add that to the existing
circumstantial evidence...
265
00:12:16,369 --> 00:12:18,939
Put them together how?
Is she an eyewitness?
266
00:12:18,972 --> 00:12:20,707
Yes.
267
00:12:20,741 --> 00:12:22,408
On several occasions.
268
00:12:25,812 --> 00:12:27,213
She raised the kid.
269
00:12:27,247 --> 00:12:29,516
If you don't give her immunity,
270
00:12:29,550 --> 00:12:30,684
you know what will happen.
271
00:12:30,717 --> 00:12:32,218
She'll take the fifth.
272
00:12:32,252 --> 00:12:34,688
Her son will refuse
to testify against her,
273
00:12:34,721 --> 00:12:37,791
and you will be left
with what the blind man saw.
274
00:12:39,359 --> 00:12:41,161
I'll give her queen for the day.
275
00:12:41,194 --> 00:12:42,696
If I buy her story,
276
00:12:42,729 --> 00:12:45,131
I'll give her accessory
after the fact.
277
00:12:45,165 --> 00:12:46,567
Nice try.
278
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,301
Accessory.
279
00:12:48,334 --> 00:12:50,637
I'll agree to no time
if I buy her story.
280
00:12:50,671 --> 00:12:52,338
If I don't, no deal.
281
00:12:57,778 --> 00:12:58,779
Thank you.
282
00:13:01,948 --> 00:13:02,949
You okay?
283
00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:05,786
Yeah.
284
00:13:05,819 --> 00:13:07,453
It's just kind of hitting me.
285
00:13:07,487 --> 00:13:09,890
My whole life, I...
286
00:13:09,923 --> 00:13:12,058
I thought my father
was this Pierce man.
287
00:13:14,761 --> 00:13:16,630
Do you have any pictures
of them...
288
00:13:16,663 --> 00:13:17,698
the Baldwins?
289
00:13:18,532 --> 00:13:20,233
I don't think so.
290
00:13:20,266 --> 00:13:21,502
But you've met them.
291
00:13:21,535 --> 00:13:23,136
Yeah.
292
00:13:23,169 --> 00:13:24,938
They seem really nice,
293
00:13:24,971 --> 00:13:26,106
and I...
294
00:13:28,809 --> 00:13:30,777
they've never stopped
loving you.
295
00:13:32,646 --> 00:13:34,014
What does she look like...
296
00:13:34,047 --> 00:13:35,682
my mother?
297
00:13:35,716 --> 00:13:38,451
I'm your mother.
298
00:13:38,484 --> 00:13:40,420
I know, mom.
299
00:13:41,922 --> 00:13:42,723
I-I didn't mean...
300
00:13:42,756 --> 00:13:43,824
No... I was...
301
00:13:43,857 --> 00:13:46,527
I mean, I'm all for you
meeting them.
302
00:13:47,628 --> 00:13:49,963
I know you raised me.
303
00:13:49,996 --> 00:13:51,798
I know who my mother is.
304
00:13:58,338 --> 00:13:59,673
We need to go.
305
00:14:05,045 --> 00:14:08,682
I was working
in Brockton as a waitress.
306
00:14:08,715 --> 00:14:10,584
One day I was washing my clothes
307
00:14:10,617 --> 00:14:11,652
at the Laundromat,
308
00:14:11,685 --> 00:14:13,353
and this man came in with James,
309
00:14:13,386 --> 00:14:14,721
who was about four.
310
00:14:14,755 --> 00:14:15,889
We started talking,
311
00:14:15,922 --> 00:14:18,324
and he said that James
was his son,
312
00:14:18,358 --> 00:14:20,093
and that the mom had died
313
00:14:20,126 --> 00:14:22,295
and that they were
living in a camper.
314
00:14:22,328 --> 00:14:23,697
What year was this?
315
00:14:23,730 --> 00:14:26,800
This was 1983, early summer.
316
00:14:26,833 --> 00:14:29,503
He said his name
was Chris Stephenson,
317
00:14:29,536 --> 00:14:31,505
but when we saw John Pierce
318
00:14:31,538 --> 00:14:33,974
on the television a week ago,
319
00:14:34,007 --> 00:14:35,942
well, that was the man
320
00:14:35,976 --> 00:14:37,611
who gave me James,
321
00:14:37,644 --> 00:14:40,480
and we figured things out.
322
00:14:40,514 --> 00:14:42,415
Do you recall the name
of the Laundromat?
323
00:14:42,448 --> 00:14:44,685
No, but I think
it was on Crescent,
324
00:14:44,718 --> 00:14:46,386
near the railroad tracks.
325
00:14:46,419 --> 00:14:49,289
How did you end up
with James permanently?
326
00:14:49,322 --> 00:14:51,558
Well, one day this John Pierce
327
00:14:51,592 --> 00:14:53,259
said that he had to go away
328
00:14:53,293 --> 00:14:54,360
for a few days,
329
00:14:54,394 --> 00:14:56,429
and he asked
if I could watch James,
330
00:14:56,462 --> 00:14:58,131
and I said yes.
331
00:14:58,164 --> 00:15:00,734
How long did this Mr. Pierce
say he'd be gone?
332
00:15:00,767 --> 00:15:02,202
Three, four days.
333
00:15:02,235 --> 00:15:04,004
But then he...
334
00:15:05,305 --> 00:15:07,440
well, he never came back.
335
00:15:07,473 --> 00:15:08,909
Well, when did it occur to you
336
00:15:08,942 --> 00:15:11,377
he might not be
coming back at all?
337
00:15:11,411 --> 00:15:12,679
I don't know.
338
00:15:12,713 --> 00:15:16,650
I suppose a few months later.
339
00:15:16,683 --> 00:15:19,953
I thought about going
to the police,
340
00:15:19,986 --> 00:15:21,955
but I knew that they would
put the boy
341
00:15:21,988 --> 00:15:23,189
in a foster home.
342
00:15:24,991 --> 00:15:26,893
We had bonded,
343
00:15:26,927 --> 00:15:29,062
and I, um...
344
00:15:30,831 --> 00:15:32,132
I-I just didn't want him
345
00:15:32,165 --> 00:15:34,134
to be put in a home.
346
00:15:36,036 --> 00:15:37,704
You remember any of this?
347
00:15:37,738 --> 00:15:39,906
I remember our place
in Springfield,
348
00:15:39,940 --> 00:15:41,908
nothing much before that.
349
00:15:48,114 --> 00:15:49,816
You believe her?
350
00:15:49,850 --> 00:15:52,018
I don't know.
351
00:15:52,052 --> 00:15:53,429
It's hard to swallow
that she didn't have
352
00:15:53,453 --> 00:15:55,522
some inkling the kid
was kidnapped.
353
00:15:55,556 --> 00:15:57,924
Likelihood is she probably
didn't want to know.
354
00:15:58,959 --> 00:15:59,760
Checked her out?
355
00:15:59,793 --> 00:16:00,994
Her employment history
356
00:16:01,027 --> 00:16:03,363
and the location
of the Laundromat pan out.
357
00:16:03,396 --> 00:16:05,265
No criminal record.
358
00:16:05,298 --> 00:16:07,467
Owns a little second-hand shop.
359
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:09,335
Wonderful mother and neighbor.
360
00:16:09,369 --> 00:16:11,371
Well...
361
00:16:11,404 --> 00:16:13,507
even if she knew,
she still took the kid
362
00:16:13,540 --> 00:16:15,308
out of the hands
of a child molester.
363
00:16:15,341 --> 00:16:16,677
Meaning?
364
00:16:16,710 --> 00:16:19,412
She left the situation
better than she found it.
365
00:16:19,445 --> 00:16:20,947
Well, if she knew
he was kidnapped,
366
00:16:20,981 --> 00:16:22,182
she should have come forward.
367
00:16:22,215 --> 00:16:26,019
Look, our endgame
is to get Pierce.
368
00:16:26,052 --> 00:16:27,821
She can help us do that.
369
00:16:27,854 --> 00:16:29,923
You think I should
make the deal?
370
00:16:29,956 --> 00:16:31,692
She'll plead to accessory?
371
00:16:32,292 --> 00:16:33,994
No time served.
372
00:16:35,629 --> 00:16:37,698
I think you should make
the deal.
373
00:16:38,799 --> 00:16:40,100
We're in.
374
00:16:40,133 --> 00:16:43,003
You get your immunity
if you testify against Pierce.
375
00:16:43,036 --> 00:16:45,438
So, she can't be prosecuted.
376
00:16:45,471 --> 00:16:46,983
That's right,
but it means going forward
377
00:16:47,007 --> 00:16:49,142
as soon as tomorrow
at the probable cause hearing,
378
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,011
then again, of course, at trial.
379
00:16:51,044 --> 00:16:53,213
Okay.
380
00:16:53,246 --> 00:16:55,081
But, Allison,
381
00:16:55,115 --> 00:16:56,316
you have to understand...
382
00:16:56,349 --> 00:16:59,620
this is going to be
an ugly battle.
383
00:17:00,420 --> 00:17:02,322
Pierce's attorney
will try to shred you.
384
00:17:02,355 --> 00:17:03,957
She'll go from attacking
your honesty
385
00:17:03,990 --> 00:17:05,491
to suggesting
you're trying to extort
386
00:17:05,526 --> 00:17:06,860
the Baldwins for money.
387
00:17:06,893 --> 00:17:09,563
She could even claim that
you're the real kidnapper.
388
00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:12,465
You're in for a nasty
few months.
389
00:17:16,469 --> 00:17:17,871
Okay.
390
00:17:18,772 --> 00:17:20,406
So are they going
to arrest John Pierce?
391
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,075
They're doing that as we speak.
392
00:17:25,178 --> 00:17:27,881
Bobby, the Baldwins are here.
393
00:17:34,154 --> 00:17:36,557
Would you like us to leave?
394
00:17:37,658 --> 00:17:38,625
No.
395
00:17:38,659 --> 00:17:39,893
I mean, um...
396
00:17:41,161 --> 00:17:43,163
I don't know.
I mean, it... it's okay.
397
00:17:43,196 --> 00:17:44,430
It's okay.
398
00:17:47,367 --> 00:17:49,069
Show them in.
399
00:18:20,166 --> 00:18:21,434
Chad?
400
00:18:22,836 --> 00:18:23,870
Hello.
401
00:18:53,534 --> 00:18:54,568
Hello, son.
402
00:18:56,970 --> 00:18:58,304
Hi, dad.
403
00:19:17,624 --> 00:19:20,126
I can't believe
this day is here.
404
00:19:23,630 --> 00:19:25,566
Thank you so much
405
00:19:25,599 --> 00:19:28,535
for bringing him back.
406
00:19:45,552 --> 00:19:47,353
Incredibly, it was the publicity
407
00:19:47,387 --> 00:19:49,255
of last week's civil proceeding
408
00:19:49,289 --> 00:19:51,091
that led James Tucker
to conclude
409
00:19:51,124 --> 00:19:52,358
that he, in fact,
410
00:19:52,392 --> 00:19:54,460
is the missing Chad Baldwin.
411
00:19:54,494 --> 00:19:56,129
John Pierce
was arrested last night
412
00:19:56,162 --> 00:19:57,263
without incident.
413
00:19:57,297 --> 00:19:58,431
His probable cause hearing
414
00:19:58,464 --> 00:20:00,366
is scheduled for 9:00.
415
00:20:02,068 --> 00:20:03,269
Anything from Rebecca?
416
00:20:03,303 --> 00:20:04,270
She's still in Brockton.
417
00:20:04,304 --> 00:20:05,314
She should be back by lunch.
418
00:20:05,338 --> 00:20:06,640
I hope she finds somebody
419
00:20:06,673 --> 00:20:08,308
to support that woman's story.
420
00:20:08,341 --> 00:20:10,443
You don't think the judge
will believe her?
421
00:20:11,712 --> 00:20:13,179
Don't know.
422
00:20:22,989 --> 00:20:25,659
So you met this man
in the Laundromat
423
00:20:25,692 --> 00:20:27,493
and he introduced you
to a boy he said
424
00:20:27,528 --> 00:20:29,162
was his son James.
Is that correct?
425
00:20:29,195 --> 00:20:30,230
Yes.
426
00:20:30,263 --> 00:20:31,464
And this boy is the young man
427
00:20:31,497 --> 00:20:33,166
you now know is the son
428
00:20:33,199 --> 00:20:34,968
of Richard and Jenny Baldwin,
429
00:20:35,001 --> 00:20:37,270
the son that was kidnapped
18 years ago.
430
00:20:37,303 --> 00:20:38,004
That's correct.
431
00:20:38,038 --> 00:20:39,205
And is that man
432
00:20:39,239 --> 00:20:41,041
who introduced you to the boy,
433
00:20:41,074 --> 00:20:43,109
that man that said
James was his son
434
00:20:43,143 --> 00:20:44,945
and asked you to look after him,
435
00:20:44,978 --> 00:20:46,346
is that man in the courtroom?
436
00:20:46,379 --> 00:20:47,347
Yes, he is.
437
00:20:47,380 --> 00:20:48,815
Would you point him out, please?
438
00:20:48,849 --> 00:20:50,316
The defendant.
439
00:20:50,350 --> 00:20:52,385
She's lying.
Mr. Pierce.
440
00:20:52,418 --> 00:20:54,555
I never had a kid with me.
441
00:20:54,588 --> 00:20:57,023
Mr. Pierce.
442
00:20:57,057 --> 00:20:59,526
And I show you
this picture, Ms. Tucker.
443
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:00,694
Can you identify it?
444
00:21:00,727 --> 00:21:02,996
It's a picture of me
and the defendant
445
00:21:03,029 --> 00:21:04,831
taken about 20 years ago.
446
00:21:04,865 --> 00:21:06,366
We were at a carnival together.
447
00:21:07,100 --> 00:21:09,202
This was previously
marked and identified.
448
00:21:09,235 --> 00:21:11,204
I offer it now into evidence.
449
00:21:11,237 --> 00:21:12,639
I have nothing further
450
00:21:12,673 --> 00:21:13,840
for the witness, Your Honor,
451
00:21:13,874 --> 00:21:15,141
though I remind the court
452
00:21:15,175 --> 00:21:16,342
that all the testimony
453
00:21:16,376 --> 00:21:18,011
from last week's
civil proceeding
454
00:21:18,044 --> 00:21:19,379
has been entered as recorded
455
00:21:19,412 --> 00:21:20,847
testimony evidence.
456
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:28,354
Ms. Tucker,
457
00:21:28,388 --> 00:21:30,223
during the 18 years
you were raising
458
00:21:30,256 --> 00:21:32,593
Chad Baldwin as your own son,
459
00:21:32,626 --> 00:21:33,927
did you ever talk to the police
460
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,195
about the father
461
00:21:35,228 --> 00:21:36,062
who left his son with you
462
00:21:36,096 --> 00:21:37,197
and never returned?
463
00:21:37,230 --> 00:21:38,431
No.
464
00:21:38,464 --> 00:21:39,165
Did you talk to anyone
465
00:21:39,199 --> 00:21:41,001
about it in 18 years?
466
00:21:41,034 --> 00:21:42,569
No.
467
00:21:42,603 --> 00:21:44,304
You kept the whole thing
a secret.
468
00:21:44,337 --> 00:21:45,706
Is that a fair statement?
469
00:21:45,739 --> 00:21:47,574
I guess you could say that.
470
00:21:47,608 --> 00:21:49,743
Did you keep it
a secret because you knew
471
00:21:49,776 --> 00:21:52,378
what you were doing was illegal?
472
00:21:52,412 --> 00:21:54,414
I know that what I did
was wrong,
473
00:21:54,447 --> 00:21:57,117
and, yes,
it was probably illegal,
474
00:21:57,150 --> 00:21:58,785
but at the time,
I really believed
475
00:21:58,819 --> 00:22:01,655
that what I was doing
was best for James.
476
00:22:01,688 --> 00:22:04,157
You claim
Mr. Pierce asked you
477
00:22:04,190 --> 00:22:05,959
to watch Chad for a few days
478
00:22:05,992 --> 00:22:07,928
and never returned.
Yes.
479
00:22:07,961 --> 00:22:09,572
Did you ever tell
any of your fellow workers
480
00:22:09,596 --> 00:22:11,598
at the Golden Cup
why you were quitting?
481
00:22:11,632 --> 00:22:12,599
No.
482
00:22:12,633 --> 00:22:14,000
Did anyone ever see you
483
00:22:14,034 --> 00:22:15,602
and Mr. Pierce
and Chad together
484
00:22:15,636 --> 00:22:17,270
in the weeks he was living
in Brockton
485
00:22:17,303 --> 00:22:18,972
before he left town?
486
00:22:19,005 --> 00:22:20,173
I don't know.
487
00:22:20,206 --> 00:22:22,142
You can't recall?
No.
488
00:22:22,175 --> 00:22:23,710
So if I said,
based on everything
489
00:22:23,744 --> 00:22:25,111
you've told me,
490
00:22:25,145 --> 00:22:27,581
I believed
you had kidnapped Chad.
491
00:22:27,614 --> 00:22:28,982
You really wouldn't have any way
492
00:22:29,015 --> 00:22:30,350
of disproving that, would you?
493
00:22:30,383 --> 00:22:33,554
I don't know how you prove
494
00:22:33,587 --> 00:22:35,756
that you didn't do something.
495
00:22:35,789 --> 00:22:37,958
And if I said
I believe you concocted
496
00:22:37,991 --> 00:22:39,459
this whole elaborate story
497
00:22:39,492 --> 00:22:41,227
in order to frame
a convenient dupe
498
00:22:41,261 --> 00:22:43,096
and free yourself
from responsibility
499
00:22:43,129 --> 00:22:45,498
for the illegal acts
you admit you committed...
500
00:22:45,532 --> 00:22:47,801
Objection.
Sustained.
501
00:22:47,834 --> 00:22:49,302
Ms. Tucker,
502
00:22:49,335 --> 00:22:51,705
are you trying to frame
Mr. Pierce
503
00:22:51,738 --> 00:22:53,674
in order to protect yourself?
504
00:22:53,707 --> 00:22:56,042
If I wanted to protect myself,
505
00:22:56,076 --> 00:22:57,343
I would have stayed living
506
00:22:57,377 --> 00:22:58,311
the way I've been living
507
00:22:58,344 --> 00:23:00,747
for the past 18 years.
508
00:23:00,781 --> 00:23:03,316
I did this for my son,
509
00:23:03,349 --> 00:23:04,818
because I wanted him to meet
510
00:23:04,851 --> 00:23:06,720
his birth parents,
511
00:23:06,753 --> 00:23:07,954
birth parents
512
00:23:07,988 --> 00:23:10,090
that I didn't even know existed
513
00:23:10,123 --> 00:23:12,025
until a few weeks ago.
514
00:23:12,058 --> 00:23:13,727
I see.
515
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:14,771
But before you carried out
516
00:23:14,795 --> 00:23:16,196
this little act of altruism,
517
00:23:16,229 --> 00:23:17,564
you made sure you cut a deal
518
00:23:17,598 --> 00:23:18,965
with the D. A., right?
519
00:23:20,133 --> 00:23:21,935
In exchange for this testimony,
520
00:23:21,968 --> 00:23:22,736
you were promised
521
00:23:22,769 --> 00:23:24,404
you wouldn't serve any time.
522
00:23:24,437 --> 00:23:26,306
Is that true, Ms. Tucker?
523
00:23:27,541 --> 00:23:28,675
Yes.
524
00:23:29,743 --> 00:23:31,444
That's correct.
525
00:23:41,755 --> 00:23:43,032
My sister and I
don't really communicate
526
00:23:43,056 --> 00:23:44,691
much anymore,
Ms. Washington.
527
00:23:44,725 --> 00:23:46,292
I'm just looking...
528
00:23:47,761 --> 00:23:49,863
I need witnesses to substantiate
529
00:23:49,896 --> 00:23:51,031
what she's telling us.
530
00:23:51,064 --> 00:23:52,699
I don't really know anything.
531
00:23:52,733 --> 00:23:54,535
Did you know she had a child?
532
00:23:54,568 --> 00:23:55,836
Yes.
533
00:23:55,869 --> 00:23:56,803
And did she tell you
534
00:23:56,837 --> 00:23:58,404
she had gotten the boy
from a man?
535
00:23:58,438 --> 00:23:59,973
Yeah, some guy she met
at a Laundromat.
536
00:24:00,006 --> 00:24:01,575
I heard the whole thing.
537
00:24:01,608 --> 00:24:03,143
And did you believe her?
538
00:24:03,977 --> 00:24:05,445
Why wouldn't I?
539
00:24:06,346 --> 00:24:09,115
Ms. Tucker,
I'm Allison's lawyer.
540
00:24:09,149 --> 00:24:11,652
I'm on her side.
541
00:24:11,685 --> 00:24:13,486
I'm just trying to collect
information.
542
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,321
You said it like you doubt her.
543
00:24:15,355 --> 00:24:18,525
Mr. Pierce's lawyer
will doubt her,
544
00:24:18,559 --> 00:24:20,827
and she'll try to tear her up.
545
00:24:20,861 --> 00:24:22,328
I need to know whatever ammo
546
00:24:22,362 --> 00:24:24,931
she could possibly dig up.
547
00:24:33,206 --> 00:24:34,374
Can I talk to you?
548
00:24:34,407 --> 00:24:36,076
I thought we did that.
549
00:24:36,109 --> 00:24:37,844
Well, I'd like
to talk again, then.
550
00:24:39,079 --> 00:24:40,180
Go ahead.
551
00:24:44,518 --> 00:24:46,620
I, uh...
552
00:24:46,653 --> 00:24:49,122
I-I can't get it out of my head
553
00:24:49,155 --> 00:24:51,157
about what you said
554
00:24:51,191 --> 00:24:54,394
about shattering trust,
555
00:24:54,427 --> 00:24:56,396
and, well,
556
00:24:56,429 --> 00:24:58,765
I realized I was betting money.
557
00:24:58,799 --> 00:25:01,968
I even knew I was betting
the client's money,
558
00:25:02,002 --> 00:25:04,237
and I suppose I knew
559
00:25:04,270 --> 00:25:07,440
I was gambling
with the firm's reputation.
560
00:25:07,473 --> 00:25:10,777
What never really hit me
561
00:25:10,811 --> 00:25:13,113
until you said what you said
562
00:25:13,146 --> 00:25:16,216
was that I was
wagering friendships,
563
00:25:16,249 --> 00:25:17,684
and, uh...
564
00:25:17,718 --> 00:25:19,920
I guess that means...
565
00:25:19,953 --> 00:25:22,222
I was willing to,
566
00:25:22,255 --> 00:25:24,958
but on that,
567
00:25:24,991 --> 00:25:27,794
I wasn't really aware.
568
00:25:27,828 --> 00:25:29,963
I never would have
knowingly done that.
569
00:25:31,264 --> 00:25:32,966
You people here...
570
00:25:32,999 --> 00:25:34,668
you're really
the only thing I have
571
00:25:34,701 --> 00:25:37,871
that truly means anything to me.
572
00:25:43,844 --> 00:25:46,647
I'm not comfortable
telling people I love them,
573
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,550
and especially other men,
574
00:25:49,583 --> 00:25:52,853
but, uh...
575
00:25:52,886 --> 00:25:55,822
I do love you, Eugene,
576
00:25:55,856 --> 00:25:57,891
and for me to risk...
577
00:26:02,729 --> 00:26:04,330
I'm an addict.
578
00:26:13,106 --> 00:26:16,409
But if I ever needed
the will to lick this,
579
00:26:16,442 --> 00:26:18,444
I got it now,
580
00:26:18,478 --> 00:26:21,114
'cause my friendship with you...
581
00:26:22,983 --> 00:26:23,984
well...
582
00:26:25,418 --> 00:26:27,153
I hope you know what I'm saying.
583
00:26:48,108 --> 00:26:50,076
They offered nothing new.
584
00:26:50,110 --> 00:26:51,745
The 18-year-old memory
585
00:26:51,778 --> 00:26:53,580
of an unsubstantiated witness
586
00:26:53,614 --> 00:26:56,282
whose credibility
is highly suspect.
587
00:26:56,316 --> 00:26:58,284
The only thing
she could establish
588
00:26:58,318 --> 00:27:01,021
is that she once briefly
knew my client.
589
00:27:01,054 --> 00:27:02,923
Even if the court were able
590
00:27:02,956 --> 00:27:04,490
to accept her concoction,
591
00:27:04,525 --> 00:27:06,827
you would certainly
have to recognize, Your Honor,
592
00:27:06,860 --> 00:27:08,829
that this newly
discovered evidence
593
00:27:08,862 --> 00:27:11,532
could never satisfy at trial
594
00:27:11,565 --> 00:27:14,568
the burden of guilt
beyond reasonable doubt.
595
00:27:14,601 --> 00:27:15,636
Accordingly,
596
00:27:15,669 --> 00:27:17,904
I ask that my client be released
597
00:27:17,938 --> 00:27:19,139
and the charges be dismissed,
598
00:27:19,172 --> 00:27:21,808
this time with prejudice.
599
00:27:28,081 --> 00:27:30,383
We already had an eyewitness...
600
00:27:30,416 --> 00:27:32,385
Mrs. Baldwin placing John Pierce
601
00:27:32,418 --> 00:27:33,920
at the scene of the crime
602
00:27:33,954 --> 00:27:36,089
at the exact time of the crime.
603
00:27:36,122 --> 00:27:38,324
We found three Legos inside
604
00:27:38,358 --> 00:27:40,160
Mr. Pierce's apartment.
605
00:27:40,193 --> 00:27:41,494
Chad Baldwin was seen playing
606
00:27:41,528 --> 00:27:43,263
with Legos at the scene.
607
00:27:43,296 --> 00:27:46,432
He has convictions for two
other child molestation...
608
00:27:46,466 --> 00:27:48,210
I'm sorry, those will not
come into evidence.
609
00:27:48,234 --> 00:27:49,612
I think they will.
They go to pattern.
610
00:27:49,636 --> 00:27:50,747
The prejudicial value alone...
611
00:27:50,771 --> 00:27:52,338
Civil liberties
are less in style
612
00:27:52,372 --> 00:27:53,883
than they used to be,
I would appreciate
613
00:27:53,907 --> 00:27:54,984
getting to finish my statement
614
00:27:55,008 --> 00:27:57,143
much like she got
to finish hers.
615
00:27:57,177 --> 00:27:58,712
Go ahead.
616
00:27:58,745 --> 00:28:00,714
In addition
to Mrs. Baldwin
617
00:28:00,747 --> 00:28:03,584
placing Mr. Pierce
within 50 feet of her son
618
00:28:03,617 --> 00:28:05,719
at the time
of the disappearance,
619
00:28:05,752 --> 00:28:07,253
in addition to an informant
620
00:28:07,287 --> 00:28:09,389
who testified that John Pierce
621
00:28:09,422 --> 00:28:11,592
admitted to the abduction,
622
00:28:11,625 --> 00:28:12,926
we now have the testimony
623
00:28:12,959 --> 00:28:14,494
of Allison Tucker,
624
00:28:14,528 --> 00:28:16,396
who says she got Chad Baldwin
625
00:28:16,429 --> 00:28:18,364
from John Pierce.
626
00:28:18,398 --> 00:28:20,166
Let's not forget, Your Honor,
627
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,368
his prior molestation
convictions
628
00:28:22,402 --> 00:28:23,870
will likely come into evidence
629
00:28:23,904 --> 00:28:25,005
as pattern evidence.
630
00:28:25,038 --> 00:28:26,540
All of that will be enough
631
00:28:26,573 --> 00:28:28,742
to satisfy reasonable doubt.
632
00:28:28,775 --> 00:28:30,376
Your Honor, it's unquestionable
633
00:28:30,410 --> 00:28:31,812
that this matter satisfies
634
00:28:31,845 --> 00:28:34,114
the burden of a probable
cause hearing.
635
00:28:37,250 --> 00:28:39,052
I agree.
636
00:28:39,085 --> 00:28:41,354
The defendant is bound over.
637
00:28:41,387 --> 00:28:45,391
Trial date for the first week
of February,
638
00:28:45,425 --> 00:28:46,827
and, Ms. Lightstone,
639
00:28:46,860 --> 00:28:48,562
Ms. Gamble is correct.
640
00:28:48,595 --> 00:28:49,639
There's an excellent chance
641
00:28:49,663 --> 00:28:51,632
the jury will hear
about these other
642
00:28:51,665 --> 00:28:54,167
molestation convictions.
643
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,402
Take your client in a corner.
644
00:28:56,436 --> 00:28:59,039
Tell him he's got a problem.
645
00:28:59,072 --> 00:29:00,507
This court is adjourned.
646
00:29:12,085 --> 00:29:13,053
I can't believe it.
647
00:29:13,086 --> 00:29:14,320
We may finally get him.
648
00:29:14,354 --> 00:29:15,665
Well, I'm going to need you
for trial,
649
00:29:15,689 --> 00:29:17,033
which you heard
will be in February.
650
00:29:17,057 --> 00:29:18,291
- Okay.
- Bobby?
651
00:29:18,324 --> 00:29:19,259
Hey, Bec.
652
00:29:19,292 --> 00:29:20,460
Have a sec?
653
00:29:20,493 --> 00:29:21,928
Sure.
654
00:29:22,596 --> 00:29:25,331
Listen, before we get
carried away,
655
00:29:25,365 --> 00:29:26,933
I'd like to try to settle this.
656
00:29:26,967 --> 00:29:28,969
Our leverage is good,
and with the chance
657
00:29:29,002 --> 00:29:30,904
of the other convictions
being suppressed
658
00:29:30,937 --> 00:29:32,639
and there is that chance...
659
00:29:32,673 --> 00:29:34,608
I'd like to get
what we can get now.
660
00:29:34,641 --> 00:29:35,776
How long?
661
00:29:35,809 --> 00:29:38,645
If I could get eight years,
I'd be thrilled.
662
00:29:38,679 --> 00:29:39,913
You okay with that?
663
00:29:40,380 --> 00:29:41,381
I guess.
664
00:29:42,248 --> 00:29:43,684
Allison,
665
00:29:43,717 --> 00:29:45,151
can I talk to you for a second?
666
00:29:54,628 --> 00:29:56,329
What's up?
667
00:29:56,362 --> 00:29:57,798
This is Rebecca Washington.
668
00:29:57,831 --> 00:29:59,108
She's an attorney with our firm.
669
00:29:59,132 --> 00:30:00,466
Yeah, I think we've met.
670
00:30:00,500 --> 00:30:01,611
She's been looking for witnesses
671
00:30:01,635 --> 00:30:04,070
who could perhaps bolster
your testimony.
672
00:30:04,104 --> 00:30:07,574
Today, she spoke
with your sister.
673
00:30:08,809 --> 00:30:10,043
And?
674
00:30:10,076 --> 00:30:13,379
She says three years
before taking in James,
675
00:30:13,413 --> 00:30:14,915
you miscarried.
676
00:30:15,549 --> 00:30:17,751
Two years before that,
677
00:30:17,784 --> 00:30:19,152
you miscarried.
678
00:30:20,754 --> 00:30:22,956
Six months
before taking in James,
679
00:30:22,989 --> 00:30:24,625
you tried to adopt.
680
00:30:24,658 --> 00:30:26,459
You were rejected.
681
00:30:26,492 --> 00:30:27,894
A month later,
682
00:30:27,928 --> 00:30:28,929
you told your sister
683
00:30:28,962 --> 00:30:31,364
you thought about
just going to a hospital
684
00:30:31,397 --> 00:30:33,166
and taking a baby.
685
00:30:36,770 --> 00:30:37,838
She's lying.
686
00:30:39,973 --> 00:30:42,342
Why would she make up
those lies?
687
00:30:46,379 --> 00:30:47,948
She's lying.
688
00:30:51,251 --> 00:30:53,554
Did you kidnap James, Allison?
689
00:30:56,122 --> 00:30:57,090
No.
690
00:30:57,123 --> 00:30:58,759
Did you get lucky?
691
00:30:58,792 --> 00:31:00,927
John Pierce, a child molester,
692
00:31:00,961 --> 00:31:03,429
just happened to be
in the area at the time?
693
00:31:03,463 --> 00:31:05,832
He just happened to be a friend?
694
00:31:05,866 --> 00:31:06,867
Are you the beneficiary
695
00:31:06,900 --> 00:31:08,702
of an incredible coincidence?
696
00:31:09,903 --> 00:31:10,804
No.
697
00:31:10,837 --> 00:31:12,105
You also told your sister
698
00:31:12,138 --> 00:31:13,840
Mr. Pierce
had a juvenile arrest
699
00:31:13,874 --> 00:31:16,009
for molestation.
700
00:31:16,042 --> 00:31:18,612
Juvenile records are sealed,
701
00:31:18,645 --> 00:31:20,514
so how would you know that?
702
00:31:20,547 --> 00:31:22,148
We didn't know that.
703
00:31:22,182 --> 00:31:23,717
Pierce told me. So what?
704
00:31:23,750 --> 00:31:25,485
So what?
705
00:31:25,519 --> 00:31:27,487
It means you had reason to know
706
00:31:27,521 --> 00:31:30,056
he'd make a perfect suspect.
707
00:31:31,091 --> 00:31:33,527
Did you try to frame him,
Allison?
708
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,562
Snatched a kid where he worked,
709
00:31:35,596 --> 00:31:37,664
planted the Legos
in his apartment?
710
00:31:37,698 --> 00:31:38,698
You had access.
711
00:31:40,834 --> 00:31:43,103
Is that what happened, Allison?
712
00:31:46,006 --> 00:31:50,043
If I was involved,
Mr. Donnell,
713
00:31:50,076 --> 00:31:53,747
why would I ever
come forward now?
714
00:31:56,449 --> 00:31:59,620
I don't think you really did.
715
00:31:59,653 --> 00:32:01,254
James did...
716
00:32:02,689 --> 00:32:04,591
and you couldn't stop him.
717
00:32:07,193 --> 00:32:09,029
You're mistaken.
718
00:32:19,773 --> 00:32:22,008
The question is,
what do we do now?
719
00:32:22,042 --> 00:32:23,977
Well, if Bec found this out,
720
00:32:24,010 --> 00:32:25,946
I got to believe
the police will, too.
721
00:32:25,979 --> 00:32:28,815
No. The sister's
not talking to the police.
722
00:32:28,849 --> 00:32:31,618
She spoke to me because
I'm Allison's lawyer.
723
00:32:31,652 --> 00:32:33,620
Which raises another issue,
724
00:32:33,654 --> 00:32:35,355
we're Allison's lawyers.
725
00:32:35,388 --> 00:32:37,624
The conflict of interest
we spoke of before
726
00:32:37,658 --> 00:32:39,359
has reared its ugly head.
727
00:32:39,392 --> 00:32:40,794
Do we tell the Baldwins?
728
00:32:40,827 --> 00:32:41,862
How do we not?
729
00:32:41,895 --> 00:32:42,896
I agree.
730
00:32:42,929 --> 00:32:44,565
We have to tell the Baldwins
and Allison.
731
00:32:44,598 --> 00:32:46,667
Wait a second,
Allison could still have
732
00:32:46,700 --> 00:32:47,934
criminal exposure on this
733
00:32:47,968 --> 00:32:49,903
for obstruction of justice
or perjury.
734
00:32:49,936 --> 00:32:50,904
It doesn't matter.
735
00:32:50,937 --> 00:32:52,472
She didn't reveal
the information.
736
00:32:52,506 --> 00:32:53,674
Her sister did.
737
00:32:53,707 --> 00:32:54,575
It's not privileged.
738
00:32:54,608 --> 00:32:55,542
But Eugene, there's...
739
00:32:55,576 --> 00:32:58,178
I am telling the Baldwins.
740
00:32:58,211 --> 00:33:00,681
What's happening with Pierce?
741
00:33:03,049 --> 00:33:05,051
No.
John.
742
00:33:05,085 --> 00:33:07,353
I didn't do it,
and I won't say I did.
743
00:33:07,387 --> 00:33:09,656
I'd finish listening
before declaring your position,
744
00:33:09,690 --> 00:33:10,791
Mr. Pierce.
745
00:33:10,824 --> 00:33:13,293
Helen.
This is a one-time-only offer.
746
00:33:13,326 --> 00:33:15,095
You know the evidence we have.
747
00:33:15,128 --> 00:33:16,763
The judge indicated
he's going to admit
748
00:33:16,797 --> 00:33:17,998
the molestation convictions.
749
00:33:18,031 --> 00:33:19,600
I didn't do it.
750
00:33:19,633 --> 00:33:21,001
I admit I knew the woman,
751
00:33:21,034 --> 00:33:23,570
but I never took the kid.
752
00:33:23,604 --> 00:33:26,239
She must have,
and she's trying to frame me.
753
00:33:26,272 --> 00:33:28,308
She's trying to frame you
18 years later.
754
00:33:28,341 --> 00:33:29,910
What is this, careful planning?
755
00:33:29,943 --> 00:33:32,112
I don't know what's going on.
756
00:33:32,145 --> 00:33:33,514
I was friends with her,
757
00:33:33,547 --> 00:33:35,682
but I never grabbed that kid.
758
00:33:36,316 --> 00:33:38,151
You've got till noon tomorrow.
759
00:33:38,184 --> 00:33:40,220
I'm offering you
reckless endangerment
760
00:33:40,253 --> 00:33:41,522
for a kidnapping.
761
00:33:41,555 --> 00:33:42,455
That is a gift,
762
00:33:42,488 --> 00:33:44,124
which I am willing to give you
763
00:33:44,157 --> 00:33:45,367
to spare putting those families
764
00:33:45,391 --> 00:33:46,593
through a trial.
765
00:33:46,627 --> 00:33:48,428
And I hope you turn it down,
766
00:33:48,461 --> 00:33:50,430
'cause I love to go after guys
767
00:33:50,463 --> 00:33:51,632
who go after kids.
768
00:33:56,336 --> 00:33:57,571
She did it?
769
00:33:57,604 --> 00:33:59,673
We can't prove it,
770
00:33:59,706 --> 00:34:01,074
but we think so.
771
00:34:03,109 --> 00:34:04,911
Does James know?
772
00:34:04,945 --> 00:34:06,179
We don't think so.
773
00:34:06,212 --> 00:34:07,147
He seems to believe
774
00:34:07,180 --> 00:34:08,749
his mother's version
of the events.
775
00:34:12,085 --> 00:34:13,520
So where does this leave us?
776
00:34:13,554 --> 00:34:15,488
- Well...
- Ethically,
777
00:34:15,522 --> 00:34:18,525
we think we should inform
the district attorney.
778
00:34:18,559 --> 00:34:20,036
We're a little trapped
because Allison
779
00:34:20,060 --> 00:34:22,095
is also our client.
780
00:34:22,128 --> 00:34:23,630
Before we do anything,
781
00:34:23,664 --> 00:34:25,599
we thought we'd get
your reaction to it all.
782
00:34:27,734 --> 00:34:30,504
Why would she come forward
and expose herself
783
00:34:30,537 --> 00:34:32,072
if she were the kidnapper?
784
00:34:32,105 --> 00:34:34,474
We believe James
insisted on coming forward,
785
00:34:34,508 --> 00:34:37,578
and she couldn't
talk him out of it.
786
00:34:37,611 --> 00:34:40,547
As we said,
we can't prove any of it,
787
00:34:40,581 --> 00:34:43,483
but this is where we are.
788
00:34:44,317 --> 00:34:45,619
I would like you to not
789
00:34:45,652 --> 00:34:47,487
tell the district attorney.
790
00:34:49,823 --> 00:34:50,823
Okay.
791
00:34:51,892 --> 00:34:52,859
Why?
792
00:34:52,893 --> 00:34:55,762
Because if you do,
793
00:34:55,796 --> 00:34:57,631
it's going to turn Chad
against you,
794
00:34:57,664 --> 00:35:00,200
and ultimately us.
795
00:35:00,233 --> 00:35:01,501
Like it or not,
796
00:35:03,103 --> 00:35:04,871
she controls our relationship
797
00:35:04,905 --> 00:35:07,273
with our son.
798
00:35:07,307 --> 00:35:09,075
A man stands to be convicted
799
00:35:09,109 --> 00:35:10,911
for a crime he didn't commit.
800
00:35:10,944 --> 00:35:13,379
Well, maybe the police
will find this new information
801
00:35:13,413 --> 00:35:14,447
out on their own.
802
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:15,415
That doesn't seem likely,
803
00:35:15,448 --> 00:35:17,217
and besides,
804
00:35:17,250 --> 00:35:19,252
Pierce could enter a plea.
805
00:35:20,186 --> 00:35:22,155
Ellenor, Bobby...
806
00:35:22,188 --> 00:35:24,424
my husband's right.
807
00:35:24,457 --> 00:35:25,692
We need to have a relationship
808
00:35:25,726 --> 00:35:27,227
with this woman.
809
00:35:27,260 --> 00:35:28,428
It's possible,
810
00:35:28,461 --> 00:35:31,497
if James were to know that
Allison was the kidnapper,
811
00:35:31,532 --> 00:35:33,299
he might sever
his relationship with her,
812
00:35:33,333 --> 00:35:34,968
making it easier for you.
813
00:35:35,001 --> 00:35:36,069
That might be so,
814
00:35:36,102 --> 00:35:38,104
if you could prove it,
815
00:35:38,138 --> 00:35:39,706
but you can't.
816
00:35:43,409 --> 00:35:45,278
You asked for our
thoughts, Bobby.
817
00:35:45,311 --> 00:35:47,681
As your clients,
we're directing you
818
00:35:47,714 --> 00:35:49,382
not to tell
the district attorney
819
00:35:49,415 --> 00:35:51,552
about this new information.
820
00:35:56,590 --> 00:35:58,959
He maintains his innocence.
821
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:00,460
Come on, Henrietta.
822
00:36:00,493 --> 00:36:02,062
He does. Helen,
what can I tell you?
823
00:36:02,095 --> 00:36:03,496
It's not about what you tell me.
824
00:36:03,530 --> 00:36:04,831
It's about what you say to him.
825
00:36:04,865 --> 00:36:07,167
You got to advise him
of his legal chances here.
826
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,135
If this goes to trial,
he's dead.
827
00:36:09,169 --> 00:36:10,804
I can't make him take a deal.
828
00:36:10,837 --> 00:36:12,338
Make him see reality.
829
00:36:14,207 --> 00:36:16,009
Give me something
to go back with.
830
00:36:16,042 --> 00:36:18,478
I gave you eight years
for a kidnapping.
831
00:36:18,512 --> 00:36:20,280
What do you want me,
to gift-wrap it?
832
00:36:20,313 --> 00:36:22,516
Make it six.
I'll get him there.
833
00:36:22,549 --> 00:36:25,085
I'll give him 15 in juvie.
He'll love it.
834
00:36:26,587 --> 00:36:28,188
Six.
835
00:36:28,221 --> 00:36:29,122
I'll sell it.
836
00:36:29,155 --> 00:36:31,625
Seven. Sell seven.
837
00:36:34,628 --> 00:36:36,697
Lucy, notify
the Baldwins and the Tuckers
838
00:36:36,730 --> 00:36:38,575
we're going back in
before judge Kenney at 11:00
839
00:36:38,599 --> 00:36:39,600
if they want to be there.
840
00:36:39,633 --> 00:36:41,267
Do they have to?
No, it's their choice.
841
00:36:41,301 --> 00:36:42,969
I'm going. Ellenor?
842
00:36:43,003 --> 00:36:44,270
I'm with you.
843
00:36:49,510 --> 00:36:51,211
So this guy's going back
to prison.
844
00:36:52,646 --> 00:36:53,714
Seems so.
845
00:37:05,291 --> 00:37:07,160
Jimmy.
846
00:37:07,193 --> 00:37:09,295
Lunch plans.
847
00:37:09,763 --> 00:37:10,731
Me?
848
00:37:10,764 --> 00:37:13,299
No, I'm wide open.
849
00:37:13,333 --> 00:37:15,435
Want to grab a sandwich,
12:30 or so?
850
00:37:16,537 --> 00:37:17,638
Great.
851
00:37:31,852 --> 00:37:33,887
Bobby.
You're here.
852
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,421
We were close when Lucy called.
853
00:37:35,455 --> 00:37:36,723
The case is over?
854
00:37:36,757 --> 00:37:39,425
They supposedly
have reached a deal.
855
00:37:39,459 --> 00:37:41,127
There's a joint
recommendation scheduled
856
00:37:41,161 --> 00:37:42,763
before Judge Kenney.
857
00:37:43,697 --> 00:37:45,241
Listen, I know we've already
discussed this,
858
00:37:45,265 --> 00:37:48,735
but I'm going to say it again.
859
00:37:48,769 --> 00:37:50,436
If Pierce is doing jail time,
860
00:37:50,470 --> 00:37:51,872
he's serving it quite possibly
861
00:37:51,905 --> 00:37:53,874
for a crime he didn't commit.
862
00:37:55,475 --> 00:37:57,944
Will you really be able
to live with that?
863
00:38:00,413 --> 00:38:02,883
John Pierce is a two-time
child molester,
864
00:38:02,916 --> 00:38:04,951
whether or not he actually
kidnapped Chad.
865
00:38:04,985 --> 00:38:07,153
He served his time
for those offenses.
866
00:38:07,187 --> 00:38:09,455
I'm not going
to lose sleep for him.
867
00:38:09,489 --> 00:38:11,124
This is my time to make up
868
00:38:11,157 --> 00:38:14,027
for 18 lost years with my son.
869
00:38:21,835 --> 00:38:23,003
Is it really over?
870
00:38:23,036 --> 00:38:24,905
We don't know.
871
00:38:24,938 --> 00:38:27,240
We're told there's a plea.
872
00:38:27,273 --> 00:38:30,176
Allison, could I see you
in private
873
00:38:30,210 --> 00:38:30,944
in the witness room?
874
00:38:30,977 --> 00:38:32,646
I'll go with you.
875
00:38:32,679 --> 00:38:34,114
No, this is private, Bobby.
876
00:38:34,147 --> 00:38:36,416
I'm going with you.
877
00:38:48,194 --> 00:38:50,531
Did you kidnap my son, Allison?
878
00:38:53,166 --> 00:38:54,300
I asked you a question,
879
00:38:54,334 --> 00:38:56,069
and I would appreciate
an answer.
880
00:38:57,871 --> 00:39:00,306
Did you kidnap my son?
881
00:39:01,107 --> 00:39:04,678
I raised James.
882
00:39:04,711 --> 00:39:07,213
I'm his mother.
883
00:39:07,247 --> 00:39:10,283
Well, then, as his mother,
884
00:39:10,316 --> 00:39:13,419
you'll understand my rage
885
00:39:13,453 --> 00:39:15,455
like only a mother can.
886
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,194
I will get along with you
887
00:39:21,227 --> 00:39:22,829
because I have to.
888
00:39:24,030 --> 00:39:26,132
I will welcome you into my home.
889
00:39:26,166 --> 00:39:29,269
I will sit across
a dinner table from you.
890
00:39:30,403 --> 00:39:33,439
I will welcome you into my life
891
00:39:33,473 --> 00:39:35,742
to keep James in my life.
892
00:39:37,277 --> 00:39:39,613
But with every embrace,
893
00:39:39,646 --> 00:39:42,215
please know...
894
00:39:42,248 --> 00:39:43,416
I will never,
895
00:39:43,449 --> 00:39:46,587
ever forgive you.
896
00:39:50,123 --> 00:39:52,626
And you'll understand that,
won't you?
897
00:39:53,226 --> 00:39:55,495
Because a mother can understand.
898
00:40:04,738 --> 00:40:06,039
Court's in session.
899
00:40:09,409 --> 00:40:11,011
Let's go.
900
00:40:17,450 --> 00:40:18,719
You understand,
Mr. Pierce,
901
00:40:18,752 --> 00:40:20,353
that you are pleading guilty
902
00:40:20,386 --> 00:40:23,389
to the charge
of child endangerment?
903
00:40:23,423 --> 00:40:25,491
Yes, Your Honor.
904
00:40:25,526 --> 00:40:26,226
And you understand
905
00:40:26,259 --> 00:40:28,529
that by pleading guilty,
906
00:40:28,562 --> 00:40:30,130
you waive your rights
to an appeal
907
00:40:30,163 --> 00:40:32,065
and will be sentenced
to state prison
908
00:40:32,098 --> 00:40:34,234
for a term of not less
than seven years?
909
00:40:36,703 --> 00:40:39,205
Mr. Pierce,
I asked you a question.
910
00:40:44,244 --> 00:40:47,347
Yes, Your Honor,
I understand it all.
911
00:40:47,380 --> 00:40:49,049
Ms. Lightstone,
912
00:40:49,082 --> 00:40:52,018
you support and recommend
this plea?
913
00:40:52,052 --> 00:40:53,687
I do, Your Honor.
914
00:40:53,720 --> 00:40:54,721
All right, then,
915
00:40:54,755 --> 00:40:57,524
the plea is entered
