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.

One little African kid
dying every three seconds

'cause they ain't got
enough food.

Man, it ain't right.

Family of ten
can live off

what falls out of my
mother-in-law's mouth.

Excuse me.
I'm locked out.

I went out the wrong door.
Could you let me back in?

Sure.

Oof! Sorry.

It's all right.

Excuse me.

Is this the way
to Human Resources?

Down the hall,
turn right.

Thanks.

Here, let me
give you a hand.

Ah, thanks.

You can just
dump that anywhere.

That's okay.
I'm on my break.

You're supposed
to wear that badge

where people can see it.

I forgot.

Better go get my badge
before I get in trouble.

Good idea.

Thanks.

The duct's unsupported.
It won't hold your weight.

I can do it.

You'll stand lookout
in the stairwell.

We'll have to move quick,

so it's only gonna be
the three of us.

Sorry, Drew.

We okay?

Sure.

Don't confuse me
with someone who cares,

because I don't.

I know what this
is worth to you.

You come up with the number,
then we'll talk.

If I'm not back in ten,
just get out.

What the hell are you
doing up here?

Started with a complaint
about a bad smell

from the tap water.

Looks like he's been in there
three or four days.

Any idea howhe got up here?

No. Doors are locked
and alarmed.

Roof's been secure
since 9/11

on account of it has sight lineson four Federal buildings.

All right.

Well, it could
be an accident.

Nylon rope

and climbing shoes.

This guy wasn't
out for a stroll.

Wait a second.

Hey, let's seeif we can something

off this memory card.

Let's get these shoes.

Right there.

Flashlight,
utility knife,

and...magnets?

Magnets?

Why is this fan off?

It should be turning.

Can we, uh,get this off?

Looks like somebodyput this here

to stop the fanfrom going around.

Where does this ductgo to?

It's just coolant.

Yeah.

Lot of dust in here.

Looks like I got two sets
of footprints.

Some going in,
some going out.

Looks like the one
going in

matches the treads
on the shoes of the victim.

The set coming out must have
found another way

up to the roof.

Where's the nearestaccess to this duct?

It's through here.

Oh...wait.

It's another magnet.

Marks from a shoe.

Number two climbedup through here.

Ah, uninvited guest.

I'm sorry
it happened, okay?

But I can't have this
following me

for the rest of my life.

Can I count on you
or not?

She'll sayshe was with me.

Okay?

These from
the victim's camera?

Yeah.

That's the last two
he took, right there.

Isn't that the top
of the courthouse?

Yeah.

The roof where we found
the body

offers the only clear view
of that statue.

Courthouse makes a nice
terrorist target.

Yeah, well, I'm not sure that'swhat we're dealing with.

Look, these
narrow passageways.

Slime-covered walls.

Tile work in abandoned
subway stations.

Look, these...
they might be trophies.

You know, the record
of an urban explorer.

Maybe he saw something onthat roof he wasn't supposed to.

Johnny Magneto's real name
is Eric Newsome.

Engineering student.

His parents reported him
missing Sunday.

A water tower.

That justdoesn't make sense.

He wouldn't be wherehe had no business.

You know his friends?

Maybe other
engineering students?

We don't know them.

Eric moved out
three years ago.

Nikki,
our daughter, might.

She studies architecture
at the same college as Eric.

We told her
you were coming.

We're very sorry
about Eric.

When's the last time
you talked to him?

Friday. He was supposed
to come to dinner Saturday.

This is Nikki

and her friend Drew.

The police asked
about Eric's friends.

H-h-he didn't really
have a lot.

He was...

kind of a grind.

Eric had to work part-time.

Unlike some people,

he wasn't
handed everything.

Did you talk to your brotheron Friday night?

No.

I was busy.

We went out to dinner.

I'll need to see
Eric's apartment.

Maybe you couldshow us around.

If you want to bring Drew, that's fine with us.

Eric's papersare over here.

That shot
from her father.

You get that a lot?

He thinks my family's rich.

Well, maybe it has
something to do with where

you take his daughter
to dinner.

Where'd you go
Friday night?

It was an Indian
restaurant.

What'd you have?

Just be careful
what you say.

Because my partner is asking
Drew the same question.

Green stain
on your necklace.

Did you get that

in the utility room
Friday night?

It's coolant, right?

Did you break into
that building?

With Eric?

Was Drew with you?

Just Rafe.

He's a student with Eric.

You wanna tell us
what happened on the roof?

I don't know.

Uh... Eric went up...

He went up by himself.

And Rafe
was keeping lookout.

And when Eric
didn't come back,

we thought maybe
he was caught.

So...we took off.

Was Eric in trouble
with anybody?

No.
We don't hurt anybody.

It's--it's a game.

We like to break into places
and just look around.

I got a problem.
Come over here.

Come here.

-This where you've been.
-Yes.

Tell me about it.

Well...

that is a drainpipe

under the Cypress Hill
Cemetery.

That is inside the roof
of the Crown Building.

Nobody's ever taken a picture
of the aperture before.

M-my brother showed me places
I've never seen.

There's a photo missing.

No, that's--that's all
the places we've been.

This photo was on Eric's camera,
and it's not on the board.

I've never
seen this before.

All right, Nikki, you can
go back over with Drew.

I guess it's a place that Eric
went without the others.

Whatever secret he was
keeping from his friends...

looks like it came back
and bit him.

Was your brother buying
a motorcycle?

He couldn't
afford it.

Priced a couple of models.

Got loan rates.

Secret missions,
big ticket purchases.

He was making his urban
spelunking pay off.

Oxygen.

These pipes in the chase,
they carry oxygen.

Some kind of scientific
facility?

A lab or a hospital?

Not too many of those
in the five boroughs.

Uh-uh.

There was a photo
that was taken

five days before this one.

He's on a roof.

Here. Look.

Building to the right.

That's Murray Hill
Hospital.

He scouted it.

That's an access to that
utility chase.

This is the only storage room
that has one.

Ugh! From one haystack
to another.

What's in these boxes?

Just old patient files.

When's the last time
someone was in here?

Mm... May of last year.

Yeah?
Look at this.

The back left-hand corner
has been crushed.

And these boxes here
have been moved over.

Well, someone's
made a mess of this.

Maybe to keep these boxes
from leaning into this one?

Maybe Eric wanted
something in here.

This tape is new, it's not
brittle like the others.

Box 4728-A.

Dr. Everett Janns'
patient files.

He died
a few years ago.

We keep his files
for statistical studies.

Maybe we start by checking
all the files are there?

You mind?

Thanks.

Cadila, Anne.

Okay.

Cagney, Carla.

Right.

Calos, Amy.

All the patients
are women.

-Dr. Janns was an OB/
-GYN?

Yes. He was with the hospital
almost 30 years.

Cantola, Marcie.

Carson, Victoria.

-Cohen, Shelly.
-Hang on.

Wait.

Victoria Carson's file
is gone.

We find Victoria Carson,
maybe she tells us

why Eric wanted her file.

Any way of finding
her address?

Victoria Carson?

We bought the house
three years ago,

and we still
get mail for her.

I forward it.

Let me see if I can find
her address for you.

I'll just be a minute.

Elevator?

It's bigger than the one
in my building.

Smells better too.

Built 15 years ago.

Oh, I hate that thing.

It makes us so lazy.

Oh, Ms. Carson's
address.

Uh, I called her
on the phone once.

She was very nice.
Asked how the garden was doing.

I could tell she missed
having a garden

where she is now.

Oh, here it is.
Um...

795 Francis Lewis Boulevard.

Apartment 410.

That's over the bridge
somewhere, isn't it?

Queens Village.

That's a lot more than
a bridge away from here.

Mom should be back soon.

What do you want
to talk to her about?

It's your mom's business,
Lisa.

It's better you ask her.

Huh! Like she ever
tells me anything.

We were at your old
apartment in the city.

We like the elevator.

My parents
put it in for me.

This place sucks, but at least
it's all on one floor.

So Lisa, why are you
in a wheelchair?

Spina bifida.

Everyone's always
afraid to ask.

You moved to Queens.

Is that to be closer
to your school or doctor?

No.

We had to after Dad died.

What were you doing
at our old place?

We really can't
talk about that with you.

Thanks.

You guys would get along
great with my mom's lawyer.

Lisa?

Lisa!

Would you come
help me with this...

Victoria Carson?

I'm Detective Eames.
This is Detective Goren.

Your name came up
during an investigation.

Uh, we need to ask you
a few questions in private.

Oh, uh...

Lisa, put this
in the kitchen.

How did my name
come up?

In connection with
a Dr. Everett Janns

at Murray Hill Hospital.

Murray Hill Hospital?

That was so long ago.

22 years, according
to their accounting department.

Dr. Janns was
your obstetrician

when you were pregnant
with Lisa?

Uh, no, no.

I went into the, uh--

Excuse me.

Went into the ER
with bad cramps one night.

Dr. Janns was on duty.

Uh, that's when I found out
I was pregnant.

Um, I got my own
obstetrician after that.

Is there any reason
anybody'd want to steal

Dr. Janns' file on you?

I'm surprised
there's even a file.

I...only saw him
that one time.

Your daughter mentioned,
um, a lawyer.

You involved
in a lawsuit?

As a matter of fact, um...

I'm suing the obstetrician
I ended up with,

Dr. McKenna.

He never did the test
that would have shown

that Lisa had spina bifida.

If you had known,
would you have had an abortion?

At least I...
would have been able

to make
an informed decision.

Lisa has had a terrible,
painful life.

The lawsuit must have
been hard on her.

She knows it's about
providing for her future.

You sure there's nothing
in Dr. Janns' file

that's relevant
to the lawsuit?

No. All he said
was, uh...

that I had cramps
because I was pregnant.

Do you know
an Eric Newsome?

He's an engineering student.

Newsome? My son has a girlfriend
with that last name.

Your son...
his name's Drew?

Yes, Drew Ramsey.

Both he and Lisa have
my late husband's name.

Why?

Do you know my son?

I didn't tell him
about the lawsuit.

I didn't even really
like the guy.

Like him or not,
you needed him to get the file.

I didn't even know
that my mother saw that doctor.

You and Nikki, how long
were you seeing each other?

Three months.

She wouldn't tell Eric.

About the lawsuit.
She knew.

She's helping me
research it.

This lawyer my mom hired
thinks we can get $20 million.

But we have to do
a lot of the stuff ourselves.

What kind of research
is Nikki doing?

She's going over
old checkbooks and bills

that my mother got
from the obstetrician.

She works summers
as a bookkeeper,

so she knows
what she's doing.

Uh, can you give us
a minute?

So Nikki might have
come across an old bill

at Murray Hill Hospital.

Figured out that Drew's mother
saw another doctor.

That would make a big difference
to the doctor being sued.

$20 million lawsuit.

Maybe Nikki
and her brother Eric...

figured that they could sell
that file to the highest bidder.

And one of the bidders decided
murder was more cost efficient.

Drew made me promise not to tell
anybody about the lawsuit.

Your brother Eric found out
from somebody, Nikki.

You're the obvious choice.

Your parents work hard.

Maybe you and Eric
thought you could get money

for that file--
money for your parents.

That wouldn't be wrong,
would it?

Yes, it would.

I'd be stealing from Drew.

That matters to you?

Yeah? You've only
known him for a few months.

He's a good guy.

I wouldn't do anything
to hurt him.

And your research
for Drew?

Is that on that computer?

Could we see?

What's that?
Did you...

type in an old password

by habit?

Did you change
your password?

Is that because somebody
hacked into your computer?

Was that Eric?

Don't, please.

He was my brother.

When was he
on your computer?

The Tuesday before he died,

he said he was
checking his e-mail.

You keep information

about Dr. Janns in here?

All I have is a spreadsheet
of the bills

Drew's mom paid to her
obstetrician Dr. McKenna, see?

McKenna's phone numbers
and address.

Maybe this is how Eric found out
who Drew's mother was suing.

Eric wouldn't take money
that wasn't his.

Well, there's one person
who'd know for sure.

My lawyer advised me
not to talk to anyone

about the lawsuit.

You didn't answer
the question, Dr. McKenna.

Did you get a call
from a young man

offering to sell you
a document?

My father doesn't need
to buy documents.

This lawsuit is a joke.

We met Lisa Ramsey.

It doesn't seem
very funny to us.

You're being sued for, um...

er, um...wrongful life.

There's no such thing.

All life is sacred.

Dad. She was born 20 years ago.

Isn't there a statute
of limitations

for that kind of thing?

Victoria Carson
claims she only just

became aware of facts--Dad--

That she said... Dad--

influenced my treatment of her.

The woman is lying.

What facts?

You can talk about it with the lawyer.

"In God's hand is the life
of every creature

and the breath
of all mankind."

Job.
Hmm.

Those facts, they're
your religious beliefs.

If a test showed that
Victoria Carson's baby

had spina bifida,

she might have
had an abortion,

which you oppose.

You probably didn't even
tell her there was

a test available.

I'm not some
sunshine Christian.

I practice what I believe.

And her condition
didn't warrant--

She told us she never

got the chance
to make an informed decision.

That's not true.

You were the first doctor
she saw.

She was scared,
and you have

such a terrific
bedside manner,

everything you told her she
bought hook, line, and sinker.

No! She didn't pick the first
doctor in the phone book.

She made an informed choice.

Oh, she went looking
for another doctor.

I--I didn't mean that.

Oh, so then you

have something here,
like a patient's file.

We don't have any such thing.

And we have
nothing more to say.

Now, please...leave.

Whatever they got from Eric,
maybe he kept a copy.

No file here, I'm running
out of hiding places.

You?

More magnets.

I got books on magnets
and engineering.

A false door?

It's hollow here.

Electromagnetism?

A magnetic lock.
Oh, brother.

Got rainy day money.
Old gold coins.

I got a letter here from
Dr. Janns to Dr. McKenna...

dated 22 years ago.

Dr. Janns is concerned with
Victoria Carson's cramps.

"Naturally, the tests we ran
were not exhaustive.

To be on the safe side,
I recommend you have

"all appropriate tests done

to determine
the health of the fetus."

Janns warned McKenna
something might be wrong,

and McKenna did nothing.

This is the smoking gun.

But the rest of
Victoria Carson's file

is not in here.

Eric wouldn't give McKenna
the whole package

without getting paid.

Unless Victoria Carson
remembers seeing Janns...

but is not sure
what's in the file.

I mean, it was
22 years ago.

Look, if she made a formal
request for that file,

Dr. McKenna's lawyer
would find out.

So maybe Drew came up with the
idea of Eric stealing the file.

And Eric, before he
turned it over to Drew...

he read it.

Realized its value.
He kept it.

If Drew found out Eric was
trying to sell it to McKenna,

that puts Drew at the head
of the class to kill Eric.

Why are you looking
at his shoes?

We want to see
if the treads

match the ones
at the crime scene.

Crime scene?
You mean Eric, right?

I know
what happened to Eric.

He fell.

He didn't have good balance.
He was misaligned.

How do you mean?

He had scoliosis.

You've met him.

No, I...I saw him
on a video

of the birthday party my brother
had for his girlfriend.

And you noticed that he had
curvature of the spine?

Eric had one shoulder
higher than the other.

I'm very sensitive
to these things.

Lisa.

Do you know that
20% of healthy people

are born with some mild form
of spina bifida?

They go through their whole
life and never find out.

What are you
doing in my room?

We've got a warrant
to search it.

I watched them, Drew.
They didn't take anything.

Look what I found.

-Love and Rockets.
-Number 48.

Ah, cool.

Come on, I'll get you
something to eat.

Are you okay?

They didn't bother you,
did they?

No.

So, Eric's right shoe, there's wear on the inner sole.

He averted
his right foot.

The leg was shorter
than the left.

It would have thrown his spine
out of alignment.

So she was right
about him.

Yeah, but his scoliosis
is so mild,

she would have never
picked that up on a video.

She would have had
to meet him in person.

And she doesn't want
anybody to know about it,

not even Drew.

You saw how she changed
the subject when he came in.

Maybe Eric came to see her
about the letter

before he went
to McKenna.

Yes, and maybe selling
the letter to McKenna

was her idea.

To what, sabotage
her own lawsuit?

Her mother's lawsuit.

A wrongful life lawsuit.

Maybe Lisa didn't think

there was anything
wrong with her life.

Maybe she didn't want
to give the jury

a chance to say that her mother
should have aborted her.

They didn't find anything, Mom.

You have got to be
more careful, Drew!

Just don't...
forget why we're doing this.

For Lisa, I know.

For her well-being.

We are not going to live
in this dump forever.

Now go.

Get your sister
ready for bed.

Okay?

She's angry.

It's not about you.

Huh?

She loves you.

Okay?

After you.

Why are you here?
Everybody knows me.

We know, you're here
four times a week.

We could go next door
to the diner, if you want.

Where you and Eric went.

The receptionist recognized
Eric from the picture.

He met you here.

So, what'd you talk about?

The lawsuit?

Let's talk about the lawsuit.

Did you ever think that

if your mother was tested
when she was pregnant,

that you wouldn't be here?

I had to be here.

Uh, I'm the one who brought
Mom and Dad together.

Your mom tell you that?

Dad did.

She takes good care of you,
your mom, right?

Well, she's organized your
little saddlebag there.

You got books

and snacks.

No. Drew does that.

Oh.

He helped me with tagging
my chair too.

It's my design.

I'm going into
graphic arts next year.

So what is it that your mother
does for you?

Does she help

with your medical care?

Your hygiene?
She helps you dress?

Drew helps me.
Since Dad died.

So maybe for your mother,

the lawsuit was not just about
getting money for your care.

No.
It's just the money.

Well, maybe she thinks

that she should have
had the chance

to stop you
from being born.

That...

she wants a court
to say that...

yours is a wrongful life.

No!

My mother loves me.

She would have had me
no matter what.

Why'd you meet with Eric?

'Cause you wanted to stop
the lawsuit?

No.

The lawsuit
is about my life,

and nobody tells me anything,
not even Drew.

I heard him telling Mom
about something he and Eric did.

What, exactly?

Drew wouldn't tell me.

So I called Eric.

He said Drew asked him
to break into someplace

and steal a file.

It was just
a big game to him.

I told him the lawsuit
wasn't a game.

He acted like he didn't
know what I was talking about.

I don't, um...

The lawsuit--
Eric...he didn't know?

That's what he said.

Did he tell you what
was in the file he stole?

He said he didn't look.

He just kept asking
about the lawsuit,

and how much it was for.

I just wanted information.

Sometimes people act
like I don't exist.

Eric didn't know
about the lawsuit

until he spoke to Lisa.

He had no reason
to steal the letter

before handing the file
over to Drew.

Meaning he had nothing
to sell Dr. McKenna.

Then I must be
losing my mind.

Didn't you find the letter
in Eric's apartment?

A copy of which we now believe
is in Dr. McKenna's possession?

Well, this letter might not
be what we think it is.

Look, these are letters
that Dr. Janns wrote to doctors.

They're terse.
They're clinical.

These other letters...
he wrote to patients.

They're more conversational.

Like the letter
in Eric's apartment.

Here.

"To be on the safe side,
I recommend

"you have all
the appropriate tests done

to determine
the health of the fetus."

Like night and day.

Could the letter have originally
been addressed to a patient?

Well...y-y-yeah.

I mean, they--
Someone might have changed them.

Readdressed it to McKenna.

And how did it get
in Dr. McKenna's hands?

Probably the same way it got
into Eric's apartment.

I've never seen this.

I told you, I didn't
know anything about Eric

breaking into a hospital.

Eric told somebody
he broke in

because you asked him to.

You were even overheard
talking about it.

That's a lie.

Drew, let me
do the talking.

Eric told Lisa
what he did.

You know how hungry
Lisa is for information

about things
that affect her life?

She heard you talking
to your mother about Eric.

She called him.

He told her
what he did for you.

That's when Eric learned
about the lawsuit.

How much money your family
stood to make.

He called you,
you and your mother,

to shake you down.

The people you should
be talking to

are Dr. McKenna
and his son.

They had the most
to fear from this letter.

This letter?

Your client fabricated this

to throw suspicion
on the McKennas.

Dr. McKenna's nurse

remembers coming into work

two days
after Eric was killed

and finding a letter in
an envelope under the door.

Your client
planted another copy

in Eric's apartment.

You can hang a murder case
on a nurse's memory?

Eric never had a letter.

Instead, he threatened
to tell McKenna

that your mother
saw Dr. Janns.

Isn't that right?

Eric was a menace
to the lawsuit.

You wanted money that
belonged to your sister--

Okay, this
conversation's over!

That she needed
for her care!

You couldn't
let him hurt Lisa.

You and your mother
had to stop him.

Okay!

Yes.
I did it.

I killed him.

Drew, stop right there.

It was my idea.
Nobody knew.

I went up to the roof
through another vent.

This is all
off the record.

I was there waiting for him,
and then...

Yes, I did what you said.

I sent this letter
to Dr. McKenna's office.

But it's not a fake.

It's real.

I found it
in Dr. Janns' files.

It's real.

Drew...that's enough.

I want to speak
to my client...in private.

Right now. Let's go.

If they were all
that easy...

I'm starting to think
you're overpaid.

He's lying
about the letter.

You know,
this murder confession

is practically
an afterthought.

His affect is one of convincing
us that the letter is real.

The letter notreal.

Dr. Janns did not
write McKenna.

This is a sidebar,
Detective.

We have our murderer.

Drew could be lying
to protect his mother.

Lisa overheard Drew

talking to her about Eric.

Whatever you do,

do not endanger
this confession.

Look, Drew rewrote
a letter

from Dr. Janns
to a patient.

Saying the health
of the fetus...

What if originally it said
the health of "your" fetus?

The letter was
to Drew's mother?

If Dr. Janns told her
to get tested,

why didn't she?

What did Lisa's father
tell her?

That she's the one that
brought her parents together.

Brought Victoria together
with a rich husband.

I wonder what Victoria's
in-laws have to say about that?

I didn't say anything
to the police about Drew.

Why, did he say
I got him into trouble?

You know your brother
better than that.

But you don't fool me.

How could you,
after everything we've done?

Done for me?
I didn't ask to be here!

Oh, that's good.

You remember to say that when
you testify in the lawsuit.

Mom!

I'll be in in a while!

Victoria was
seven months pregnant

when she married
your son.

These things happen.

Is that why they got married,
because she was pregnant?

They were engaged
for two years.

David was ready
to move on,

and then...

well, he didn't
have the heart

to talk Victoria
out of having the baby.

It would have been easier

if we knew then
what we know now.

-You mean about Lisa.
-Mm-hmm.

Your family's wealthy.
I mean, that's correct?

Well, we were.

I guess your son would have
been seen as a good catch.

Especially by Victoria.

She doesn't seem
to have any money now.

Did it all go
for Lisa's care?

Oh, hardly.

My husband put everything,
including David's inheritance,

into high tech.

Boom to bust in 20 years.

I feel a little sorry
for Victoria.

All that effort
to snap up David

and getting burdened
with Lisa.

She doesn't have much
to show for it now.

You'll be happy
to know Victoria's

making her own
opportunities.

She's suing
her obstetrician

for not testing
for spina bifida.

The one in Brooklyn?

You know him? No.

I gave her the name
of three doctors

right in her neighborhood.

But she felt that
this Brooklyn doctor

cared as much
about her baby as she did.

Oh, excuse me.

A shotgun wedding.

Victoria might have been worried
she'd never get to the altar

if her groom found out
their unborn child

had a birth defect.

Yeah, Dr. Janns suspected
there was something wrong.

So he advised her
that she should get tested.

So she looked for someone
that wouldn't test her.

When Drew found
Dr. Janns' letter,

he figured out
what his mother did.

That's why he's lying
about the letter.

Why he won't
incriminate her.

He doesn't want Lisa to know
she was just bait in a trap.

We're gonna have
to give him a way out.

They're throwing you
a lifesaver, Drew.

If you have anything
to tell them about your mother,

this is the time.

But she didn't
do anything.

I don't wanna talk
about my mother.

Send her in, please.

This shouldn't take long.

Drew?

Have a seat, Ms. Carson.

I wasn't told my son

would be here.

And you dragged
my daughter down here?

We may have
to speak to her later.

Drew?
Are you all right?

Everything's okay, Mom.

Don't worry.

He hasn't implicated you.

Well, why would he?

I didn't have anything
to do with this boy Eric.

And I'm sure what happened
was an accident.

The only reason why
he didn't implicate you

is because...
if Drew goes to prison, well...

there's not gonna be anybody
left to take care of Lisa.

He's got this idea

you're gonna take care
of Lisa.

Instead of dumping her

at the first
cut-rate group home

on your way
to the local wine bar.

I will absolutely
take care of her.

Who takes care of her now?

Drew.

And before him,
your husband.

Lisa told us that.

Before I had to work
for a living,

I used
to take care of her.

Lisa just
doesn't remember.

Or chooses not to.

So she's ungrateful?
That's what you're saying?

She's moody.

Who wouldn't be
in her condition?

I think she can get past that.

It's the lies.

Children know when
you're lying to them.

Hmm.

I never lie to her.

You lied
when you conceived her.

I mean, it wasn't through
an expression of love

or even lust.

Cold calculation.

That is a lie!

Your pregnancy

was your ticket to...

you know, the good life.

Even Dr. Janns' warning
didn't dissuade you.

Instead, you found

a doctor whose beliefs
stopped him

from interfering
with your plan.

If Lisa had to be
born paralyzed,

or broken, well, then,
that's the price

she'd have to pay
for your happiness.

You shut up.

I will not have you
spewing this bile

in front of my son!

He already knows.

Drew?

Don't ya?

I mean,
you found the letter.

Right?

Letter that Janns
wrote to your mother.

And you used that...

to fake the letter that you
planted in Eric's apartment?

Isn't that true?

The two of you panicked,
when, you know,

Eric was threatening
to tell Dr. McKenna

about his midnight excursion
to Murray Hill Hospital.

I mean,
you panicked because

that would have
torpedoed your lawsuit.

And you...

'Cause you didn't
want Lisa to know

why she was brought
into this world.

'Cause it wasn't because
she was the love child

that brought her...

you know, her parents together.

No, she was just
a spoke in this web

that your mother wove.

So what are you gonna do?

You gonna leave Lisa

with this, um, woman?

Take care of Lisa?

How would that work?

What, would that be
out of the goodness

of your heart?

Do you think you would trust this woman's

maternal instincts?

Come on.

Huh, Drew?

Drew, I promise you,
I promise you,

I will take care of her.

We can offer better
than a promise, Mr. Ramsey.

We can make her
take care

of your sister.

For as long as necessary

as a condition
of her probation.

If you testify to her role
in Eric Newsome's death,

I'll recommend she get
probation on the condition

she provide court-supervised
care for Lisa.

Any sign of neglect,
and your mother

will serve the rest of her
sentence in prison.

All Lisa has to do
is pick up the phone

and call Mr. Carver's office.

Drew,
it's win-win here.

Drew...

Drew!

Don't you dare.

Don't you dare lie to them.

You know that I didn't
do anything!

You gotta speak up now.

Because soon...

she's gonna be beyond
your protection.

You gotta do this for her.
Drew...

But then she's going to find out
what my mother did to her.

Yeah.

Why she was born.

She really believes
what my father told her.

She's not a child, man.
She's a young woman.

She needs
to know the truth.

You're the only one
that's gonna tell her.

Drew!
It would destroy her!

You know that.
Just please...

keep your mouth shut, okay?

I told my mother
what Eric wanted.

That he wanted money.

Or he'd tell McKenna...

about Dr. Janns.

She, um, she told me
to get rid of him.

She said that people
like Eric...

would get a taste of money
and keep on coming back.

Well, she would know.

Victoria Carson,
you're under arrest for murder.

You little bastard.

You ungrateful little--

All of your life, you have
been nothing but a burden!

You and your sister!

Nothing but stones
around my neck!

Stones around my neck!
Let go of me!

Can I speak
to my sister, please?

It's a heavy responsibility
telling her the truth.

She can take it.

But him, he might
have a hard time

admitting his family's
just a get-rich-quick scheme.

It's already something
more than that.
