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.

Eames, his dog.
He lost his dog.

Oh, sorry.

I tell you what,
it's not that easy

making a body disappear.

I had this dog Tucker.

One summer, he ran
into the salt marsh

next to our house.

We looked for him
for months.

Three years later
a fisherman found his collar

in the marsh, nothing else.
Tucker was history.

And like my dad says,
no body, no case.

He's talking aboutdropping a body in a marsh.

A salt marsh,
next to their country house.

They have a house
in the Berkshires.

There are no salt marshes
up there.

He lost the dogwhen he was a kid.

They used to have a homein East Hampton.

There's a satellitepicture.

-Look at that.
-Right there.

Alongside the road.

A salt marsh.

Conducting a search
in full view

of the multi-million dollar
beachfront mansions

here in celebrity-studded
East Hampton.

[female news reporter
Are using powerful pumps

to drain these
ocean-fed marshes.

Charlie,
what are you seeing?

Just a lot of people
getting wet.

I'll let you know.

We've searched the fourmost accessible

vehicle entry points.

They wouldn't have gotten faron foot.

Paddy, we've got something
on Little Merrick Pond.

Rodger that.

All right, guys,
let's go.

They found her!

Hair!
Make-up!

Hair!

She was suffocated.

Probably smothered.

Tox found ecstasy, cocaine...

and enough scotchto float the Intrepid.

She had sex?

No semen, no DNA.

But preservativesfrom sheepskin condoms.

Just like Tiana.

Well, this timeour culprit mixed it up.

There was lubricant consistentwith a latex condom

in her vagina and rectum.

Latex.

You know, the key,
he wouldn't put it in my hand.

I was wearing latex gloves.

The M.E. found
that both latex

and sheepskin condomswere used on Bethany Lunden

the night she was killed.

Okay.

What am I looking at here?

It's Ethan's intake report
when he got processed

into Rikers.

He resisted thecavity search.

Who can blame him?

It's the reason
he resisted.

Latex gloves.

He told the medical officer that he was allergic

to latex.

He wouldn't have used
a latex condom.

He wasn't the only one
who had sex

with Bethany that night.

There was a second shooter.

I was at home on Thursday.

I didn't go to Ethan's.

Anybody with you?

Uh, no.
No, my parents were out.

Stuart, look,
it's a fact that

Ethan and Bethany
were not alone that night.

It's also a fact that

you and Ethan,
you liked to share

the spoils of war.

So that's two facts.

And you have the "Home alone"alibi thing going.

Who do you think wins?

Okay, my parents were home.

They had one of their fights.

You know, their knock down
drag-out...

I was looking
after my sister.

We'll have to checkwith your mom.

Just don't show her those.

Why?

This girl
go to school with you?

Her?
No, she's an escort.

Hey, we don't need
to pay for it.

Ethan's dad got her
for him

for his 16th birthday.

Judge Garrett?
Are you sure?

Or did Ethan
just tell you that?

Judge Garrett was there
at the house

when she showed up.

Mm-hmm.
How long did he stay?

The whole time.
He went upstairs.

After she did Ethan,

she went up
and did his old man.

Well, how did Ethanfeel about that?

Well, I was grossed out,
but...

he thought it was
the coolest thing.

Jeez, all I gotfor my birthday

was a transistor radio.

A father and son
tag team.

It may not stop
at escorts.

Nail down where
Judge Garrett was

that Thursday night.

So who told you,
another judge?

So much for
judicial discretion.

From what we hear,your affair with Garrett

isn't all that discreet.

Look, we don't need to knowthe details.

We just need to knowif you saw the judge

that Thursday.

We met for drinks
at the St. Regis.

And after, you went upstairs?

That was Harold's plan.

What was yours?

Harold is very retro.

As long as he's
getting what he wants,

you could be asleep
for all he cares.

So after a few months
of feeling like

a hole in a mattress,
I had enough.

So you dumped him.

Oh, yeah.

You're smiling.

So before you dumped him,
you let him know

what he'd be missing?

Where we were sitting...

the tablecloths
were very generous.

You mean, uh...

you got him all worked up
and then you just

left him there?

T minus ten seconds
and holding.

We'll ask you again.

Who was in
your house that night?

I got home around 1:00.

Ethan was asleep
in his room, alone.

You were outwith your husband?

No.

I was at a fund raiserfor a ballet company

in the Bronx.

Hal was already home.

Was he asleep
when you got in?

I don't know.

I saw his briefcasein the foyer.

And the door to his den
was closed.

So I assumed
he was in there.

In here.

He came up to bed later?

No.
He falls asleep in there.

I don't know what,
watching TV?

TV's in here?

What about
the next morning?

I made breakfast for Ethan
and then the two of us

drove up to the Berkshires.

And the judge,
he was asleep in here?

I didn't see him.

I don't think
he'd want you in here.

He plays vinyls, huh?
Nice.

Everything's
in mint condition.

He's a collector, huh?

It was his father's.

Sinatra at the Sands
with Count Basie.

Original pressing.

So he put
the needle down,

sits on here,puts the headphones on.

Lays back, listens to Frank.

Drinks himself to sleep.

Harold to a T.

You can leave now?

The Chairman's Chairman.

His girlfriend left him
at 9:30

with his head ready
to pop off.

Which put him home
around 10:00

to find a half-naked,drugged, 16-year-old

partying with his son.

Who would be only
too happy to share.

It's a repulsive scenario,
but it doesn't tell us

who killed Bethany.

Mrs. Garrett said
Ethan was asleep

when she got home.

She didn't see
her husband.

Her husband was the one
with the motive.

If he had sex with Bethany,
it's statutory rape.

Except he's the judge,he knows the system.

He wouldn't panicand kill her.

Well, he's a degenerate.

He's only concerned
with his immediate needs.

So's his son, and the kid's got a quick switch.

Flies off the handle.

So the girl
pisses him off and then...

Then he would walk away.

Like he walked away
from Tiana.

Because Ethan's a coward.

It's equally believable
they did it together.

You're ready to make a deal with one of them?

Who's the lucky winner?

Ethan's the one we havethe most leverage on.

We have him on tape admittinghe let Tiana Peterson die.

So Mr. Carver...

Tiana becomes leverage
to get a conviction

for the murder
of a white girl?

Dude, you should
have seen her.

Her head bounced
off that guardrail

like a beach ball.

This tape's a violation
of my client's

right to counsel.

His cellmate was acting
as an agent for the police.

This is no time
for posturing.

Now with my son's future.

We're listening, Mr. Carver.

We're offering your son
one to three years

on a plea of criminally
negligent homicide

for Tiana's death.

In return, we want
his testimony

about the night he brought
Bethany Lunden home.

Ethan, tell themwhat happened.

Don't--

Don't tell me what to do,
all right?

I didn't kill her.

Maybe we should just ask
the other person

who was with you.

He might decide
to save his own skin

and implicate you
in the murder.

Are you worried?

Is that because
you're not sure

he wouldn't do it?

Because you never felt safe around him?

You know, that's what happens to kids.

To sons whose parents...

Well, whose fathers
don't give them love.

Unconditional love.

That they're entitled to.

My father loves me.

Oh, Ethan...

If you know your father
loves you,

then why do you
debase yourself

to get his attention?

You dedicated this to him,

the Chairman's Chairman.

You emulate him.

You do that, what,
to earn the love

of a man who is incapable
of love.

It's true, Ethan.

If dad's so horrible, Mom...

then why don't
you divorce him?

Because he's a judge.

And all of his friendsare judges.

And if I left him,

he'd make sure
that we had nothing.

He'd take care of me.

No, sweetheart.

I couldn't even get himto hold you as a baby.

And he won't hold you now.

He's gonna let you go.

He's gonna put
Bethany's death on you.

Ethan, tell them
what happened.

I was, uh...

I was in the kitchen
with her...

making something to drink,
and dad got home.

We were pretty messed up.

We went in the den.

He started
playing some records.

And mixing us
some drinks.

They started making out.

And, uh, she was laughing.

I started feeling
a little dizzy.

Queasy.

Thought I was gonna puke,

so I went up
to my room and I passed out.

And what happened
to your father?

And Bethany?

I left them in the den.

I don't know
what happened to them.

I woke up
the next morning,

just Mom was there.

So, you're home.

Ethan's tired.

He needs to go to sleep.

Sleep? Isn't there something
you want to tell me, Ethan?

Leave him alone.

I heard a rumor
of a deal with the D.A.

--What'd you tell them?
-Don't touch him.
-Don't touch him.

-Look at me when I speak to you!
-I'm your father!

Traitor!

You Iago! Iago!

Iago.

An arrest warrant
for Judge Harold Garret.

"Hot Tub Harry"?

There's circumstantial evidence

and a statement from his son.

Eh, this won't do.

At all.

Arthur--

Arresting a judge for murder
in an election year...

it's not peanuts.

If the district attorney
is going to arrest

a sitting judge of the Supreme
Court in New York,

the signature of the District
Attorney damn well better be

on the warrant.

Arthur Branch Esquire.

Now that'll be worth
two points on election day.

It's not enough to do good,

you gotta be seen doing good.

Sorry to pull you outof your hot tub, Your Honor.

Ethan's statement doesn't
implicate Judge Garrett

in either rape or murder.

He saw the judge
groping the girl.

Have you seen the Internetdiary he keeps?

Heck of an imagination.

What you're saying is
your son is a liar.

I'm saying,

he'd be very malleable in thehands of a skilled interrogator

with a personal agenda.

-Personal agenda.
-Like what?

I presided over police brutalitytrials in the '90s.

Be quite a feather in somebody'scap to knock me down.

Grandiosity.

Paranoid overtones.
Persecution complex.

Two can play
that game, detective.

I'm putting you all on notice,

I will defend myself vigorously.

You're on a fool's errand.

And you can thank that man
behind the glass.

Mr. Carver botched hislast case in my court.

A rapist went free because
of his incompetence.

This is his pathetic attempt
to rehabilitate himself

in the eyes
of his superiors.

My witness got arrested

for an outstanding
traffic ticket.

On the morning of his
court date,

Garrett dismissed the case.

Still, sounds like he justdrew his line in the sand.

Let's ,make sure we draw ours
with hard evidence.

I'm checking to seewhich ones are fresh.

They must love you
in the produce section.

-A dragonlet.
-The light.

Keno, uh, excuse me.

Can you takea picture of this?

I found a seaside dragonlet.

They only live
by salt marshes.

It was probably attracted
to the light

when the trunk was open.

My father used to use those
for bait when he went fishing.

Look at this.

There was a tarp
on the floor here.

Garrett probably used it
to line the trunk

to transport the body.

Yeah, Logan.

Say what?
You're kidding me.

Now?

It was filed this morningon behalf of 17 plaintiffs.

The suit alleges civil
rights violations,

including the use
of excessive force.

Going back to 1993.

This is crap.

These were all investigated
and dismissed

by the review board.

All except the last one. Gregg Sanchez.

He alleges you threatened
him with a pool cue,

and tried to drag him
to a bathroom.

Oh, yeah, him.

-Defense.
-I never actually threatened him.

Mr. Sanchez named
Detective Barek as a witness.

Nobody talked to me about it.

If they had, I would've said I saw a smart detective

use the power of suggestion

to get life-saving
information

from a known criminal.

Okay, you guys
go back to work.

You see this?

-Yes.
-Timing's no coincidence.

Judge Garret got a lawyerto put this together.

He's going after the copsinvestigating him.

Judge Garret is setting
the table for his trial.

I got an email
from a friend in Washington.

Hey, thanks for saying that.

Don't thank me.
That's what I saw.

Well, hey, thanks for seeingwhat you saw.

I got word someone pulled
your FBI personnel file.

What'll they find?

The record of somebody
who was very unhappy.

I was on loan to them for two years after 9/11.

I wanted to talk to somebodyacross the hall,

I had to clear itwith three supervisors.

I--those people couldn'tstop an asthma attack.

Hmm.

There's no evidence
Bethany was in the car.

No fluids or hair.

But we got the dragonlet.

All that proves is that the carhas been near the ocean.

We gotta do better.

What are you working on?

It's Garrett's sexual kinetics.

We haven't found evidence

that he had intercourse
with Bethany,

but if we knew
how he would've--

I'll guess "Hot Tub Harry's"
got a hell of a repertoire.

His range of motion
is very limited.

He's got a torn
rotator cuff in one arm.

He's got tennis elbow
in the other.

He'd have problems
supporting his weight

in the missionary position.

If he was on the bottom?

He's got a double
scrotal hernia.

Supporting the girl's weight,
that would be painful.

And then kneeling behind...

that's out of the question,

because he's got, um,
rheumatoid arthritis

in both knees.

He--basically,
he'd have to stand up.

But she was too stonedto stay on her feet.

Yeah.

Well, then he bent her over
something, I guess.

Oh, like a chair.

Or a desk.

This pattern looks familiar.

Look at the pattern
on her arm.

They knocked over
the ink bottle during sex,

and she put her arm in it.

Caramel Ridge Center.
How may I direct your call?

Uh, one moment, please.

I'm her to see oneof your residents.

Frances Goren?

Are you a family member?

I, uh, I grew upwith her son, Bobby.

We wentto the Academy together.

Our mothers were good friends.

Don't tell me she's fine.
Look, my--

You don't understand. My mother doesn't have--

My mother's friend
doesn't have a son.

No, I'll be there tonight.

I wanna talk to Dr. Shimowhen I get there.

Your mom gonna be okay?

What's this?

Uh, it was
ink on her arm.

It matched the ink...blot.

Bobby--Somebody got into see my mother.

Okay? He asked hera lot of questions.

She got agitated.

She had a psychotic break.

They restrained her.

And they sedated herfor a long time.

They know who it was?

It's Garrett. He hired a privateinvestigator or something.

Bobby, let me get the captain.

This is my mom, okay?

Bobby--

Get me Ron Carver.
This is urgent.

What do you wanna know, huh?

You send an ex-cop
to terrorize an old woman.

Tell me what you wanna know.
You gotta ask or something?

Ask me!

Get out of here, Detective.

Do you know what they did to her?

They strapped her down
to a bed.

They pumped her full of drugs.

Get him out of here.

How could you do that? By what right?

What, because you have
one of these?

You think you can tricksome helpless old woman?

Or that you can
rape a young girl?

You think you can
wage war on me,

my good name,
turn my family against me?

And I'll just take it?
Huh?

Mr. Carver.

You have any idea what kind
of unbalanced personality

you've entrusted your case to?

Hmm?
I have it right here.

From his own mother,
whom he keeps locked up

in a psych ward.

This is a man who is still full
of spite for his dead father.

A man who will not
lift a hand

to help his gambling
addict brother.

Judge, this isn't necessary.

-It's all right.
-Let him talk.

You go ahead, Mr. Carver.

You pursue your reckless
prosecution.

-You'll see what I'm capable of.
-I'll show you.

What are you gonna show us?

That your not a broken buffoon?

That you're more than the sumof your infirmities?

Huh? With your bum kneesand your herniated groin--

How dare you!

Is that why your girlfriends

don't have patience
for you anymore?

Is that why you bring
hookers home?

To flatter you?

And young girls like Bethany.

Because they don't
know any better.

They won't laugh at you
while you're fumbling around!

Stop it! Get 'em drunk. That's even better.

You can just flop 'em
on your desk.

They won't remember anything.

They won't remember how young
and strong Ethan felt.

How--how he made
them feel better.

I made her feel better.

She threw herself at me.

She didn't want a boy.
She wanted a man.

That's what she got,
and she loved it.

Oh, he heard, all right.
All the way from his room.

The old man
showed him how it's done.

I did nothing to hurt her.

I did not hurt her!

Now he's admittedraping her.

I think we're ready for trial.
Nice work, Detective.

We still haven't received item18 on the bill in demand.

I'm sure it was sent over.

Probably a clerical error.

We'll get you another copy.

Careful, Ms. Buckley.

Mr. Carver's prone to errors.

For a man who admitted having
sex with a 16-year-old

murder victim, arrogance
isn't the best defense.

Are you the only one
who doesn't get it?

This is a show trial
for the voters.

If Arthur really wanted
to convict me,

he'd put a bureau chief
in charge.

I am serious about
convicting him.

And I'll promote you
to bureau chief right now.

No need, Arthur.

I've never seen myself
as management.

She's back.

Jury selection starting tomorrow

in the trial of "Hot Tub Harry".

With a nickname like
"Hot tub Harry",

why did the prosecutors
take so long

to charge him with murder?

I keep thinking
of Madame DeFarge.

In The Tale of Two Cities.

She sat near the guillotineand knitted.

And mocked those poor souls
as they were getting

their heads chopped off.

As long as it's not
my head on the block.

Well, it is, my friend.
It is.

And then he said,

"She didn't want a boy,
she wanted a man.

And that's what she got,
and she loved it."

Thank you.

No more questions.

You testified
that you were present

when Ethan Garrett was
encouraged by your partner,

Detective Goren,
to implicate--

Objection to the word,
"encourage".

I'll rephrase.

When under questioning

by Detective Goren,
Ethan implicated his father?

Yes. I was there.

Didn't Detective Goren
tell Ethan,

"You never felt safe
around your father.

Your father is
incapable of love"?

Yes, but--

And isn't it true
that Detective Goren's

own father abandoned his family when he was a child?

Objection. Relevance?

Subject to connection,
Your Honor,

-I'll allow it.
-Answer the question.

Yes, that happened.

And wouldn't you agree that
Detective Goren's

experience with his father
has led him to mistakes

in judgment?

I'm not qualified
to answer that.

Isn't it fair to say
that Detective Goren

has a special vendetta

against imperfect fathers?

That he'll bend the truth
to implicate them in crimes

they're innocent of?

No, that's not fair.

You're saying you trust
his judgment?

Yes, I do.

Then maybe you'd care to...

explain this.

Do you recognize it,
Detective Eames?

Yes, it's a letter...

I wrote to my superior officer
five years ago.

Please summarize
the contents.

It's a request
for a new partner,

but I withdrew my request.

Please...read the highlighted passage.

"Detective Goren's erratic
and antisocial behavior...

"his volatile and bizarre
interrogation techniques...

"lead me to have serious doubtsabout his judgment

and mental stability--"

I want to explain--

Thank you.

No more questions.

Redirect, Your Honor?

Detective Eames,

please explain
why you withdrew

your request.

I was used to working with
more conventional detectives.

Detective Goren's style
is definitely unique

and...an acquired taste.

Over time I came to see that

his approach was based on...

deep understanding
of human behavior.

I came to appreciate him
as an ethical person

and an effective
police officer.

Thank you.

No further questions.

We mitigated the damage.

You did fine.

I'm sorry, Bobby.
I should have told you.

I am an acquired taste.

I'm lucky youwithdrew your letter.

I'm...a drunk.

I'm sickened by my behavior.

I...took advantage
of a defenseless girl.

I...shamed my family.

I betrayed the public trust.

So I have resigned
my office...

surrendered my license
to practice law.

I've entered
a 12-step program.

But one thing
I am certain of.

No matter how degenerate
my actions,

I did not kill
Bethany London.

The police say the killer carried Bethany's body

down to your garage.

Loaded her into the car.

And then carried her to Little Merrick Pond.

You're sayingyou didn't do that.

No! How could I?

I'm a wreck.

Torn rotator cuff.

Rheumatoid arthritis.

Hernias.

I break out in a sweat just
getting myself out of bed.

No further questions, Your Honor.

We heard forensic testimony

Bethany was splayed out
on your desk

when you raped
and sodomized her.

Is that how it happened?

Yes, I'm ashamed to say.

After you were done with her,

you just left her passed out in a puddle of ink.

No, I wouldn't do that.

So you carried herto the couch--

That is beyond
my capabilities.

Then how did she get off the desk?

She walked?

We heard testimony abouther blood alcohol level.

Yes, and my son
gave her drugs.

But with a little help...

she...was able
to get to the couch.

With a little help?

Isn't it possible
you gave her a little help

down the stairs
to the garage?

No.

Isn't it possible you helped her to your car

and suffocated her?

No, I did no such thing!

There'd be no reason to.

You just told us
you resigned your office,

surrendered your law license.

Your reputation's in ruins.

All because you got
caught having sex

with an underage girl!

Now, wouldn't you have done anything to avoid--

I wouldn't have killed her!

-This girl wasa threat to you.
-No!

-You panicked.
-No!

You had to get rid of her.

You told her you'd take her home, didn't you?

You coaxed herdown the stairs.

No!

Up the stairs!
She went up the stairs.

Up the stairs,
to--to your son's room?

Why didn't you mention that
before?

My own son?

How could I?

I don't know what happened.

Maybe Ethan got jealous.

Jealous?

Of you?

Well, yeah,
she'd just been with me.

Maybe she sang
my praises to him.

Your praises?

As a lover?

Well, yes.

Ethan has
a very sensitive ego.

Especially when it comes
to his old man, you see.

Well...he could have
gone off on her.

I-I-I don't know.

I was in the den.

-No more questions,
-Your Honor.

No redirect, Your Honor.

The defense rests.

Rebuttal, Mr. Carver?

Yes.

The People...

recall Ethan Garrett.

"Your praises
as a lover?

"Well, yes.

"Ethan has
a very sensitive ego,

"especially when it comes
to his old man, you see.

He could have
gone off on her."

Thank you.

Now, Ethan...

Ethan?

Is it true? Did Bethanycome up to your room?

No.

Last time I saw her
she was in the den.

My dad was kissing her.

You weren't jealous?

No.

I always looked up
to my dad.

I thought he was
the coolest guy.

I just wanted to be...
one of his friends.

Somebody he'd hang out with.

So your father is wrong,

-even though, in his words,
-Bethany threw herself at him.

That didn't make you jealous.

Of him?

There's nothing cool
about him.

He hurts people.

He hurt Bethany.

He said he was giving her
all that great sex.

He wasn't;
he was hurting her.

You--you could hear herfrom your room?

No, but he made her bleed.

From behind.

When he sodomized her,
you mean.

Yes, he made her bleed.

He's a pig,
he's a freak pig.

No more questions, Your Honor.

The autopsy mentionsthe torn tissue

from being sodomized,

but it doesn'tmention bleeding.

Well, somehow he knew
she bled.

Maybe his father told him.

I can think of another reasonthe kid knows.

He saw it whenhe killed her.

The murder case
against Harold Garrett

will go to the jury
by the end of the afternoon.

That's how long you have
to get to the bottom of this.

I don't know
where I heard it.

I might have read it
somewhere on the Internet.

No, we Googled and doodled,
it's nowhere.

It's not even
in the autopsy report.

The only person who'd know
is somebody who saw Bethany

after your father
had sex with her.

Meaning, the person
who killed her.

My dad killed her.

I mean, he told meabout the bleeding

when he was--he was drunk.

Yeah, well, even if
your father killed her,

somebody had to help him
carry the body,

and that's what you did,
you helped him.

Yeah, he'd been drinking.

Driving on those roads
in the salt marsh,

he would have needed
an extra pair of eyes.

No, see, he knows
his way around pretty well.

I mean, he used to drive by
Little Merrick Pond

all the time
on Pine Beach Road.

Um, Pine Beach Road goesto Big Merrick Pond.

Right, right.

-You mean, uh,
-Strathmore Lane, right?

Yeah, that's the one.
I get 'em confused sometimes.

I'm sorry.

Strathmore Lane
goes to Thorncrest Pond.

If this kid drove
to the marsh by himself,

he'd be lost as his dog.

So we're back to the dad.

With maybe the kidin a supporting role.

The dog he lost six years ago...

He would havebeen heartbroken...

The Humane Societyin East Hampton...

I should call.

After closing arguments,
the judge called a recess?

I expected to see Ethan waitingoutside the courtroom.

But they told me
to come see you.

Well, Ethan's fine.
He's here.

There's a problem
with his testimony.

I didn't hear anything wrong.

It's what he said about
Bethany bleeding.

It's something
only her husband

and the killer could
possibly know.

But my husband is the killer.

You know that.

I want to see my son.

Please?

They keep asking how he knew about the bleeding.

He won't answer.

I want to speak to him.

We can't allow that.

Look, I-I-I think that
your husband was right.

I think that my feelings might have clouded my judgment.

Especially when it comes to Bethany's body

being found in that remote partof the marsh.

I mean, Ethan obviouslyknows the marsh

like the back of his hand.

I don't know how
you can say that--

Tucker, his dog.

I mean, he was probablyout there every morning

looking for him.

No.

We wouldn't allow him
near the marsh.

He was a child.

Hal looked for the dog.

Every morning,
for--for two weeks.

And--and in the evenings.

Really?

With his busy schedule?

Well, Ethan was very upset.

Even Hal was moved
to do something.

And you stayed at home, consoling Ethan.

Well, yes.

You've gonna think that we have

nothing better to dowith our time,

but we called The HumaneSociety in East Hampton.

They sent us this...

lost dog report for Tucker.

Um, from six years ago.

Now, the lady there,she remembered Ethan's mother...

coming in every day sunburnedfrom walking the marsh.

Every morning and afternoon

looking forher little boy's dog.

There's even a notation here.

You see, you told heryou heard barking

around Little Merrick Pond.

You were gonna be damned if you'd let that dog

get lost on him, I guess.

Is that because you couldn't give him

a father who loved him?

Like that's the leastyou could do?

What are you gonna do now?

What are you gonna do?

He has knowledge thatimplicates him in the murder.

But if he tells us howhe came by that knowledge...

But that implicates you,doesn't it?

That's not true!

You couldn't resist
telling him

how Harold
brutalized Bethany.

You knew because
you saw her.

Saw her in the den.

Hal was passed out.

She was... ravaged and drugged.

That's when you sawhow young she was.

You saw something else, too, didn't you?

You saw a pieceof Ethan's clothing,

and you knew thathe was involved.

That he'd been swept upin this scandal.

Burned up.

You needed to save him.

Save him from throwing himselfon the bonfire

of his father'sdegeneracies.

Harold. It was Hal.

No, it was you.

You took Bethany away.

You made her disappear.

It was Harold's fault!

Look at him.

Look at him.

What's he gonna do?

He can rat out his mom.

Or he can takethe rap for her.

You know what he'll do.

You know he's just a kidwho wants to be a man so much.

Save him.

Don't let him go.

Yes.

Yes, I killed her.

I'd do anything
to protect him!

I owe him that.

I knew Hal wouldn't be
any kind of father,

but I just wanted a child.

So much!

It's my fault!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, sweetheart!
I'm sorry!

I'm so sorry!

Elise Garrett.

I have to go back in there

and get the murder charge
against her husband dismissed.

The judge is almost done
instructing the jury.

But the rape charge stays.

Yes. Justice is a jagged road.

Your Honor, may we approach
the bench...

It'll be matching jumpsuitsfor the Garretts this Christmas.

Hair, makeup!

We're going live.

Don't ask me!
I don't know what it means!

I don't know what
any of it means!

What is going to be
your next move?

It means his family
took a bullet

that should have been his.

Let's get out of here before
the dancing bears show up.

See ya.

Try explaining to them

how a mother could have
done this to their daughter.

-Well, they're parents.
-They understand.

That's what makes it worse.
