1
00:00:23,356 --> 00:00:25,100
In the criminal justice system,
2
00:00:25,233 --> 00:00:29,067
people are represented by
two distinct but important groups.
3
00:00:29,154 --> 00:00:33,733
The police investigating the crime
and the MP who processes the cases.
4
00:00:33,825 --> 00:00:35,820
These are your stories.
5
00:00:40,958 --> 00:00:43,996
Nurse, it's been an hour.
Should have called a hearse
6
00:00:44,128 --> 00:00:47,083
and avoid the middleman.
- Cervical trauma does not kill.
7
00:00:47,173 --> 00:00:51,421
I have health insurance. What is
Do I need for my wife to be seen?
8
00:00:51,511 --> 00:00:54,513
If you want to complain,
send a fax to Hillary Clinton.
9
00:00:56,850 --> 00:00:58,891
I'll get more ice.
10
00:01:01,146 --> 00:01:04,232
It will take another 15 minutes,
I don't know.
11
00:01:06,402 --> 00:01:08,692
What are you doing? I catch it.
12
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,526
Oh my...
13
00:01:12,742 --> 00:01:14,237
Nurse!
14
00:01:16,496 --> 00:01:20,033
Her name is Debra Elkins, she is 22 years old.
The driving license is from the North,
15
00:01:20,209 --> 00:01:22,747
of Poughkeepsie.
- Will you reach 23 years old?
16
00:01:22,836 --> 00:01:26,088
He must have lost 1.5 liters of blood.
Blood pressure was very low.
17
00:01:26,215 --> 00:01:29,882
- It was lucky we found her.
- How did they find her?
18
00:01:29,969 --> 00:01:33,055
One of the patients noticed her,
she was alone.
19
00:01:33,181 --> 00:01:37,014
- Unconscious and bleeding.
- Do you think her boyfriend stabbed her?
20
00:01:37,143 --> 00:01:41,438
First I assumed that it had been
with a hanger, a botched abortion.
21
00:01:41,648 --> 00:01:44,105
But the hemorrhage
It is a postpartum complication.
22
00:01:44,234 --> 00:01:46,773
- So, she gave birth.
- With difficulty, unfortunately.
23
00:01:46,862 --> 00:01:51,407
Her uterus is very dilated.
We gave him oxytocin intravenously.
24
00:01:51,492 --> 00:01:54,530
- She'll be fine.
- So why did they call us?
25
00:01:54,995 --> 00:01:56,277
Where is the baby?
26
00:02:34,705 --> 00:02:37,410
LAW and ORDER - SERIES 4
CREATOR
27
00:02:49,554 --> 00:02:50,931
The...
28
00:02:51,598 --> 00:02:53,426
... doctor said...
29
00:02:53,892 --> 00:02:58,187
...that the birth would be from here
to two weeks.
30
00:03:00,315 --> 00:03:03,519
My mother gave me some money
31
00:03:04,737 --> 00:03:09,531
and I came to spend a day in New York
to buy baby clothes.
32
00:03:10,451 --> 00:03:12,410
Don't you remember giving birth?
33
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,991
I went for a walk after dinner
34
00:03:19,961 --> 00:03:22,833
and I felt very sharp pains.
35
00:03:25,133 --> 00:03:27,211
I didn't know what to do.
36
00:03:28,179 --> 00:03:32,392
A man put me in a taxi
37
00:03:35,645 --> 00:03:37,769
and I must have passed out.
38
00:03:38,398 --> 00:03:40,391
Did your husband come with you?
39
00:03:41,985 --> 00:03:46,483
- I'm not married.
- So, the baby's father.
40
00:03:47,949 --> 00:03:50,240
I was raped by a colleague.
41
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:59,201
- But the baby is still mine.
- Do you think you remember the taxi driver?
42
00:04:03,884 --> 00:04:07,087
What kind of person steals a baby?
43
00:04:09,306 --> 00:04:13,091
I already had two children,
I remember every effort I made.
44
00:04:13,227 --> 00:04:16,514
I assure you,
fainting is the impossible dream.
45
00:04:16,606 --> 00:04:19,015
Her story doesn't add up.
46
00:04:19,191 --> 00:04:22,313
Do you think you rode the bus for an hour?
to leave the baby in an alley?
47
00:04:22,404 --> 00:04:27,150
Last year they were abandoned
eleven thousand babies in New York alone.
48
00:04:27,325 --> 00:04:30,992
Most of these mothers
He spends his days addicted to drugs.
49
00:04:31,162 --> 00:04:35,209
- The toxicological test was negative.
- Didn't you say you were raped?
50
00:04:35,376 --> 00:04:38,544
Maybe motherhood
Don't please her as much as she says.
51
00:04:38,712 --> 00:04:40,754
There are other alternatives.
52
00:04:40,923 --> 00:04:45,172
Not everyone
She's as enlightened as you, Mike.
53
00:04:45,302 --> 00:04:50,299
We're in luck. Last night
delivered a car to Madison Taxi
54
00:04:50,475 --> 00:04:52,765
and the back seat was covered
of blood.
55
00:04:54,187 --> 00:04:57,106
TAXI COMPANY
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22
56
00:04:57,315 --> 00:05:01,895
They are animals. They think that for some
dollars rent a bathroom.
57
00:05:02,029 --> 00:05:04,699
They leave all the crap
in the back seat.
58
00:05:04,823 --> 00:05:07,991
And is this specific garbage recent?
59
00:05:08,244 --> 00:05:11,828
There because I live in a pigsty
does not mean it is pork.
60
00:05:11,915 --> 00:05:14,703
We clean them after every shift.
The finest customers thank you.
61
00:05:14,834 --> 00:05:19,996
- Who took the taxi yesterday?
- The Russian, Alex Walinsky.
62
00:05:20,173 --> 00:05:24,338
- We'll need the address.
- Let's see. Here you go.
63
00:05:24,845 --> 00:05:28,465
Number 102, East Sixteenth.
He must be at home.
64
00:05:28,558 --> 00:05:30,635
He called to say he was sick.
65
00:05:30,809 --> 00:05:35,105
If tomorrow is not good,
tell him he doesn't have to come.
66
00:05:44,032 --> 00:05:46,240
-Alex Walinsky?
- Yes.
67
00:05:48,620 --> 00:05:50,579
What's going on?
I didn't do any harm.
68
00:05:50,664 --> 00:05:54,710
Oh yes? Well, there is a mother hospitalized
who might disagree.
69
00:05:56,879 --> 00:05:59,288
If he only has one day,
Call Guinness.
70
00:05:59,424 --> 00:06:02,130
- What do you do with my son?
- Here.
71
00:06:02,260 --> 00:06:05,962
- What did you do with the baby that was left in the taxi?
- Baby?
72
00:06:06,056 --> 00:06:09,391
We saw your taxi,
the last client didn't bleed from the nose.
73
00:06:10,644 --> 00:06:14,940
The girl was in bad shape,
asked me to take her to the hospital.
74
00:06:15,149 --> 00:06:17,024
Do you remember where you got it?
75
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,147
Lexington, in the 30th Street area,
in front of the Hotel St. Paulo.
76
00:06:23,283 --> 00:06:25,656
But there was no baby.
77
00:06:28,163 --> 00:06:32,209
If "Dr. Zhivago" tells the truth,
Maybe Van Buren is right.
78
00:06:32,792 --> 00:06:36,459
I had to be very desperate
to abandon a child.
79
00:06:36,547 --> 00:06:40,248
Look who's talking, you passed
the last 20 years avoiding being a father.
80
00:06:40,384 --> 00:06:44,134
Don't bother me.
It wasn't me who wanted the abortion, it was her.
81
00:06:46,182 --> 00:06:50,680
Very well, she came for just one day
to New York and stay in a hotel?
82
00:06:51,229 --> 00:06:55,358
Let's hope the kid is watching
to Sásamo Street and eating.
83
00:06:57,111 --> 00:06:59,733
Yes, I called him a taxi.
It was white as lime.
84
00:06:59,821 --> 00:07:02,444
I felt like I was going to faint.
Is she okay?
85
00:07:02,658 --> 00:07:06,491
- Don't die. Was she taking a baby with her?
- No.
86
00:07:07,914 --> 00:07:10,073
But what the hell happened here?
87
00:07:10,666 --> 00:07:13,455
I deduce that the miracle of childbirth.
88
00:07:19,885 --> 00:07:22,590
There's more blood in the bathroom.
Look at this.
89
00:07:23,180 --> 00:07:26,551
Briscoe? I need a unit
of experts. Hotel St. Paulo.
90
00:07:26,684 --> 00:07:29,639
- Surely you didn't see a baby?
- There were just the two of them.
91
00:07:29,729 --> 00:07:32,351
- Both?
- Her boyfriend came with her.
92
00:07:33,608 --> 00:07:37,108
Shaw, Steven. J.
Said he didn't sleep here,
93
00:07:37,404 --> 00:07:40,904
but when new people pay
with money, I always point out the names.
94
00:07:40,990 --> 00:07:43,483
- Did you have the phone number?
- Yes.
95
00:07:44,870 --> 00:07:47,113
I don't know what they're talking about.
96
00:07:47,706 --> 00:07:50,827
Now, he told us that he came to pass
the day to New York
97
00:07:50,959 --> 00:07:53,203
and has been in a hotel
since Tuesday.
98
00:07:53,337 --> 00:07:57,288
She said she came alone and we found out
who was with her boyfriend.
99
00:07:57,383 --> 00:08:02,544
What difference does it make?
My baby is still missing.
100
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:07,640
He's just been telling lies. We begin
thinking you know where the baby is.
101
00:08:07,811 --> 00:08:10,979
If you knew,
Why wouldn't I tell?
102
00:08:12,233 --> 00:08:13,776
Your friend Shaw?
103
00:08:15,945 --> 00:08:19,362
Spent a night with me
and returned home.
104
00:08:19,574 --> 00:08:24,533
But there is no Steven Shaw
in the Poughkeepsie telephone directory.
105
00:08:29,918 --> 00:08:31,876
They asked for phone records
from the hotel.
106
00:08:31,961 --> 00:08:35,129
She made 14 phone calls to
the voicemail in Poughkeepsie.
107
00:08:35,841 --> 00:08:39,425
- Do you have many friends?
- Made a local call.
108
00:08:40,596 --> 00:08:43,088
To William Wendyll, lawyer.
109
00:08:45,727 --> 00:08:49,856
Debbie Elkins. Another young woman,
poor and pregnant.
110
00:08:50,023 --> 00:08:54,852
- Not anymore, she gave birth two days ago.
- Great, but I have nothing else to do.
111
00:08:54,945 --> 00:08:58,695
- And have you ever had it?
- When I had clients involved.
112
00:08:58,824 --> 00:09:01,743
Wait, let's go back.
113
00:09:01,911 --> 00:09:05,992
I take care of adoptions, I help clients
to find these girls.
114
00:09:06,332 --> 00:09:10,034
I leave aside the crazy ones
and one in every eight cases,
115
00:09:10,211 --> 00:09:13,462
I help them do the paperwork.
I thought Debbie was straight-laced.
116
00:09:13,548 --> 00:09:17,629
It's for you to see. Called me
A few days ago, he changed his mind.
117
00:09:17,761 --> 00:09:22,175
- I wanted to keep the baby.
- Looks like you didn't do very well.
118
00:09:22,391 --> 00:09:27,599
You only receive fees
after the baby is delivered?
119
00:09:27,730 --> 00:09:31,598
- Yes, why?
- I was thinking. The baby disappeared,
120
00:09:31,734 --> 00:09:35,187
maybe a client wanted to dodge
to pay their fees.
121
00:09:36,114 --> 00:09:40,362
Are you enjoying? They are filthy rich,
my fees are changed.
122
00:09:40,619 --> 00:09:43,573
Did she ever mention
a certain Steven Shaw?
123
00:09:43,663 --> 00:09:45,408
Detectives,
124
00:09:45,623 --> 00:09:49,326
these girls are elusive,
They don't vent to the lawyers.
125
00:09:49,754 --> 00:09:53,170
Yes, but they spend a lot of time
with customers, right?
126
00:09:53,925 --> 00:09:56,416
This is professional secrecy.
127
00:09:57,345 --> 00:10:01,593
We are investigating a kidnapping case
and negligence.
128
00:10:01,767 --> 00:10:06,560
If you place obstacles to the Accusation,
We intimate your customers.
129
00:10:11,151 --> 00:10:15,020
Stephanie?
Please call the Savitts.
130
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:19,237
SAVITT RESIDENCE
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28
131
00:10:19,452 --> 00:10:24,613
First came the career, then
financial and emotional security
132
00:10:25,124 --> 00:10:26,917
and when we were ready...
133
00:10:27,001 --> 00:10:31,130
We tried fertility drugs,
in vitro, everything.
134
00:10:31,464 --> 00:10:36,294
- We thought Debbie was the one.
- It's true. I want to show you something.
135
00:10:42,101 --> 00:10:46,563
We did what the lawyer said.
We put ads in newspapers,
136
00:10:46,731 --> 00:10:48,808
in regional newspapers in the Southeast.
137
00:10:48,900 --> 00:10:51,190
"Our hearts are open
welcoming your baby.
138
00:10:51,319 --> 00:10:53,609
"We have a lot of love to give.
Please call."
139
00:10:53,697 --> 00:10:57,482
We had a green number installed
and every day we received calls.
140
00:10:57,576 --> 00:11:02,405
Debra was the seventh interviewed,
saw the number in the school newspaper.
141
00:11:02,498 --> 00:11:07,742
She said she had been raped by
a co-worker and we feel sorry.
142
00:11:08,254 --> 00:11:11,921
We spend a lot of time
and money with the girl.
143
00:11:12,008 --> 00:11:15,592
- Did they give you an allowance?
- She carried our son in her belly.
144
00:11:15,887 --> 00:11:19,090
We wanted to make sure he was fed,
who had medical assistance.
145
00:11:19,224 --> 00:11:22,974
- We think she deserved it.
- Did she mention a certain Shaw?
146
00:11:23,186 --> 00:11:27,600
One time he asked us for a check
to one Steven Shaw, her landlord.
147
00:11:27,775 --> 00:11:30,777
- Do you still have the receipt?
- Yes.
148
00:11:35,951 --> 00:11:39,700
When they find the baby,
Can you let us know?
149
00:11:40,372 --> 00:11:44,785
- Madam, please.
- It would be very important for us.
150
00:11:47,337 --> 00:11:52,215
I know people want to have children,
but green numbers? It's crazy.
151
00:11:52,384 --> 00:11:56,170
There are two types of people in the world:
those who have children and those who do not.
152
00:11:56,264 --> 00:11:57,889
Exactly, "dad".
153
00:11:58,349 --> 00:12:01,720
I am? It's fine. Say it.
154
00:12:03,772 --> 00:12:06,347
Right. I understood.
155
00:12:06,524 --> 00:12:09,611
What? Are you kidding me?
156
00:12:10,987 --> 00:12:13,195
Thanks.
157
00:12:14,533 --> 00:12:18,117
- I have Shaw's address.
- Well, let's take a walk around Hudson.
158
00:12:18,204 --> 00:12:21,206
- I haven't done that since college.
- Take it easy.
159
00:12:21,374 --> 00:12:26,417
The bank said it transferred ten thousand
dollars from his account this morning.
160
00:12:26,588 --> 00:12:28,831
You can buy powdered milk
for the baby.
161
00:12:29,799 --> 00:12:31,260
Here it is,
162
00:12:31,426 --> 00:12:35,260
the transfer arrived at 1:00pm
and Mr. Shaw signed at 1:45 p.m.
163
00:12:35,598 --> 00:12:38,885
- Do you remember if he brought a baby?
- Sorry, today was a busy day.
164
00:12:38,976 --> 00:12:41,645
Listen, does this take long?
165
00:12:41,812 --> 00:12:44,980
Delay.
When we're done, we'll let you know.
166
00:12:46,317 --> 00:12:49,770
Mr. Shaw didn't let
a local address?
167
00:12:50,614 --> 00:12:54,695
It says to call
to the Lowery Hotel.
168
00:12:54,868 --> 00:12:56,114
Thank you.
169
00:13:09,342 --> 00:13:11,502
- Who are you?
- We are the ones asking questions.
170
00:13:11,719 --> 00:13:13,927
- Is his name Steven Shaw?
- Yes, why?
171
00:13:15,473 --> 00:13:17,763
- But what is that?
- Caluda.
172
00:13:21,855 --> 00:13:24,229
- What are you doing?
- What we like most.
173
00:13:24,316 --> 00:13:29,062
- Steven Shaw, you are under arrest...
- I'm in room 512 at the Lowery Hotel.
174
00:13:29,196 --> 00:13:32,898
Send an ambulance, we'll find it
a male baby.
175
00:13:33,076 --> 00:13:35,034
You have the right to a lawyer.
176
00:13:35,411 --> 00:13:39,113
If you cannot hire one,
this will be provided for you.
177
00:13:47,883 --> 00:13:51,633
He is not Debra's landlord,
He is not her husband.
178
00:13:54,599 --> 00:13:56,676
He's not even the baby's father.
179
00:13:57,309 --> 00:14:00,395
So what were you doing
in the hotel room with the baby?
180
00:14:00,646 --> 00:14:06,022
- I told you, I'm her boyfriend.
- You are a true gentleman.
181
00:14:06,403 --> 00:14:09,440
Always leave your girlfriends
bleeding to death in taxis?
182
00:14:09,573 --> 00:14:13,738
- She asked me to keep the baby.
- You all fit in the taxi.
183
00:14:16,247 --> 00:14:19,368
I understand your situation,
the kid is not yours.
184
00:14:19,459 --> 00:14:22,579
You wanted her to give it to you,
but she didn't. You guys argued.
185
00:14:22,712 --> 00:14:26,663
I didn't care about the rape.
We both wanted the child.
186
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:30,798
If I found out she was
pregnant, she had given up on her own.
187
00:14:31,054 --> 00:14:34,389
I don't know what they're talking about,
I want to talk to Debbie.
188
00:14:34,516 --> 00:14:39,096
Dropping the kid somewhere would make it easier
your life, wouldn't it?
189
00:14:39,188 --> 00:14:42,356
You are mistaken.
Ask Debbie, you'll see.
190
00:14:43,734 --> 00:14:45,729
This is really bad.
191
00:14:48,865 --> 00:14:53,279
Why are you bothering me?
I didn't do anything wrong.
192
00:14:53,412 --> 00:14:56,283
Do you know what bothers me?
193
00:14:56,457 --> 00:15:00,835
A bitch that makes me lose
three days of my life.
194
00:15:01,879 --> 00:15:06,506
- Are you going to arrest me for this?
- No, but you abandoned your son.
195
00:15:06,592 --> 00:15:08,835
Did I abandon it? I left it with Steven.
196
00:15:09,011 --> 00:15:13,591
- So, you put the child at risk.
- He would never hurt the baby.
197
00:15:13,767 --> 00:15:17,682
After the lies I've already told,
Do you think the jurors will believe it?
198
00:15:17,979 --> 00:15:23,188
- What do you want from me?
- For now, stop with the lies.
199
00:15:25,195 --> 00:15:29,693
He forgets. We arrest them both
and we let the Prosecutor decide.
200
00:15:29,992 --> 00:15:35,201
- The boy will end up being adopted.
- Okay, it's always the same story.
201
00:15:35,665 --> 00:15:38,751
The bastards from Child Protection...
202
00:15:38,961 --> 00:15:44,300
They said I wasn't a
capable mother. They took my daughter away.
203
00:15:45,175 --> 00:15:48,177
I wouldn't allow
for this to happen again.
204
00:15:53,684 --> 00:15:56,224
What do you want me to do?
There is no crime.
205
00:15:56,395 --> 00:16:00,809
She intentionally interfered
With the investigation, she could be arrested.
206
00:16:00,942 --> 00:16:04,811
And some judge will condemn her
with a newborn? Forget it.
207
00:16:05,029 --> 00:16:09,278
The kids are upset with the system,
It's natural that he lied.
208
00:16:09,701 --> 00:16:13,118
Child Protection was right,
she is worthless.
209
00:16:13,205 --> 00:16:18,117
If we release her, we might as well arrest her now
baby and save time.
210
00:16:19,629 --> 00:16:21,955
Van Buren. Yes, they are here.
211
00:16:23,216 --> 00:16:25,790
When? Thanks.
212
00:16:26,469 --> 00:16:31,548
They just called from the hospital,
one person took baby Elkins.
213
00:16:34,394 --> 00:16:37,350
PEDIATRIC HOSPITAL
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30
214
00:16:38,482 --> 00:16:41,934
First I took care of the crying ones.
I gave her milk and changed her diapers.
215
00:16:42,027 --> 00:16:44,484
So I counted the others and there was one missing.
216
00:16:44,572 --> 00:16:47,360
In the report it said
that the baby was taken this morning.
217
00:16:47,533 --> 00:16:51,864
- She had the documentation.
- Did the kidnapper have a free pass?
218
00:16:51,955 --> 00:16:55,539
I had authorization to transfer it
to the hospital where the mother is.
219
00:16:55,626 --> 00:16:59,327
Everything was fine until they arrived
the baby's blood tests.
220
00:16:59,421 --> 00:17:02,791
The baby is allergic to powdered milk
and I called the hospital to let them know.
221
00:17:02,925 --> 00:17:05,548
- But the baby never arrived.
- Exactly.
222
00:17:06,887 --> 00:17:11,053
She handed me the right papers,
everything signed. Everything was in order.
223
00:17:11,225 --> 00:17:14,845
A person brings the right paperwork
and you hand him a baby?
224
00:17:14,938 --> 00:17:18,522
She was a nurse,
She showed me the ID.
225
00:17:18,775 --> 00:17:20,318
Dorothy Hemmerick.
226
00:17:20,402 --> 00:17:23,273
Dorothy Hemmerick?
Do you know what she is like?
227
00:17:24,740 --> 00:17:28,608
It's a white lady, about your age.
228
00:17:28,994 --> 00:17:33,325
Shorter than you, hair
ash blonde and green eyes.
229
00:17:33,792 --> 00:17:37,457
She came at 5:30 in the morning.
Isn't it too early?
230
00:17:37,629 --> 00:17:41,579
But she knew everything about the boy,
He even knew his mother's name.
231
00:17:42,301 --> 00:17:46,002
When she saw his hazel eyes,
He said they were the same as his mother's.
232
00:17:48,891 --> 00:17:54,053
I'm really sorry. Tell mom
I'm really sorry.
233
00:17:56,608 --> 00:18:00,523
- She knew the color of your eyes.
- Do you think we're involved?
234
00:18:00,612 --> 00:18:03,281
- Are there reasons for us not to think?
- She said she was a nurse
235
00:18:03,448 --> 00:18:06,201
and knew everything about you
and about the baby.
236
00:18:06,410 --> 00:18:07,655
Nurse?
237
00:18:08,745 --> 00:18:13,574
That crazy bitch.
It could only have been Mrs. Baxter.
238
00:18:13,709 --> 00:18:15,833
Would you mind giving us a clue?
239
00:18:16,503 --> 00:18:20,455
- We talked to her about adopting the baby.
- Wait a minute, what about the Savitts?
240
00:18:20,591 --> 00:18:26,049
I spoke to them after the Baxters.
I knew the woman was crazy.
241
00:18:30,060 --> 00:18:31,555
Open.
242
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,189
-Herbert Baxter? We have a warrant.
- I don't understand.
243
00:18:38,277 --> 00:18:40,769
- Walk away and don't say anything.
- What's going on?
244
00:18:44,992 --> 00:18:47,152
Tell me what you're looking for.
245
00:18:54,544 --> 00:18:56,871
I assume this is for a dog.
246
00:18:59,300 --> 00:19:02,752
- Where's the baby, Mr. Baxter?
- I don't know what they're talking about.
247
00:19:02,844 --> 00:19:04,755
- Your wife?
- Why?
248
00:19:04,847 --> 00:19:08,182
- Is Hemmerick's maiden name?
- What the hell is going on?
249
00:19:08,267 --> 00:19:11,186
Leave it alone, tell me where she is.
250
00:19:14,691 --> 00:19:17,479
He told me he was going to visit his sister
to Queens.
251
00:19:22,657 --> 00:19:26,277
-Dorothy Baxter?
- No, I'm a sister... Dorie!
252
00:19:27,121 --> 00:19:30,823
Dorothy Baxter?
Dorothy Baxter, you're under arrest for kidnapping.
253
00:19:30,959 --> 00:19:34,458
- But the baby is mine.
- I'll have to ask you to hand it over.
254
00:19:34,587 --> 00:19:37,210
- I can't.
- Take it away.
255
00:19:37,506 --> 00:19:41,292
- Take it easy.
- But the baby is mine, I assure you.
256
00:19:41,428 --> 00:19:43,302
Okay, take it easy.
257
00:19:43,597 --> 00:19:45,555
Be careful, please.
258
00:19:48,060 --> 00:19:50,303
You have the right not to speak out.
259
00:19:50,438 --> 00:19:53,190
27th SQUADRA
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1
260
00:19:56,151 --> 00:20:00,815
- My wife is not a kidnapper.
- Well, he took the kid for an afternoon.
261
00:20:01,074 --> 00:20:03,447
- Jeffrey is mine.
- Dorothy, please.
262
00:20:05,954 --> 00:20:09,371
I'm Morris Hoffman,
Dorothy Baxter's lawyer.
263
00:20:09,625 --> 00:20:12,792
I want you to stop immediately
the interrogation is for my client.
264
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,207
You're late, Dr. She admits
who took the baby from the nursery.
265
00:20:16,382 --> 00:20:19,218
If you did, it's your right.
It's their baby.
266
00:20:20,136 --> 00:20:22,426
They have a contract with Debra Elkins.
267
00:20:27,769 --> 00:20:30,854
If you hear the whole story,
I guarantee they will back down.
268
00:20:30,980 --> 00:20:34,433
- Mrs. Baxter is a good person.
- And good people kidnap babies?
269
00:20:34,610 --> 00:20:38,229
Yes, when they genuinely believe
who are entitled to them. Listen, Ben,
270
00:20:38,405 --> 00:20:42,239
Miss Elkins responded to the advertisement
of the Baxters in a university newspaper.
271
00:20:42,368 --> 00:20:44,860
- She accepted money from them.
- Did they buy the baby?
272
00:20:44,954 --> 00:20:49,202
They paid some medical expenses.
Private adoption, Ben.
273
00:20:49,333 --> 00:20:52,040
It was all cool,
but then she went back.
274
00:20:52,129 --> 00:20:54,501
- Is this in writing?
- The agreement was verbal.
275
00:20:54,631 --> 00:20:57,717
- Mrs. Baxter trusted her.
- They didn't sign anything?
276
00:20:57,884 --> 00:21:01,586
Now, if you want to talk about the validity
of an oral contract,
277
00:21:01,722 --> 00:21:06,220
phone is Kim Basinger.
- Even if there was a contract,
278
00:21:06,310 --> 00:21:09,894
an adoption is not completed
kidnapping a baby from an institution.
279
00:21:10,022 --> 00:21:13,523
Having a family is everything in life
for my wife.
280
00:21:14,694 --> 00:21:18,029
Ten years ago she suffered a miscarriage
followed by a hysterectomy.
281
00:21:18,156 --> 00:21:22,452
Debbie is not the first, we passed
so four times in six years.
282
00:21:22,620 --> 00:21:27,081
The girls decide to keep the babies
or they give it to wealthier couples.
283
00:21:27,207 --> 00:21:29,201
Does this justify a kidnapping?
284
00:21:31,462 --> 00:21:35,461
I can't even pay her deposit,
They left us with everything we had.
285
00:21:35,592 --> 00:21:38,130
This was our last chance.
286
00:21:38,261 --> 00:21:41,216
What my wife did
may be wrong,
287
00:21:41,306 --> 00:21:44,012
but she is not a criminal.
288
00:21:45,643 --> 00:21:47,721
She didn't want to hurt anyone.
289
00:21:48,230 --> 00:21:53,937
Basically, the woman lost her mind.
It's insanity, diminished capacity.
290
00:21:54,112 --> 00:21:58,324
If you don't believe in contract theory,
at least be more flexible.
291
00:21:58,408 --> 00:22:03,071
Have compassion. Do us a favor,
let your expert talk to her.
292
00:22:06,249 --> 00:22:09,086
RIKERS ISLAND PRISON
MONDAY, OCTOBER 4
293
00:22:09,377 --> 00:22:11,834
Thanksgiving
it was my favorite.
294
00:22:12,756 --> 00:22:15,593
There are those who prefer Christmas,
295
00:22:15,676 --> 00:22:19,509
but I love seeing the family all together,
around the table.
296
00:22:20,389 --> 00:22:24,934
- I have always thanked God for my family.
- Did you have a large family?
297
00:22:25,145 --> 00:22:29,725
I have three brothers, two sisters,
seven nephews and five nieces.
298
00:22:32,068 --> 00:22:37,526
That's what life is.
There are those who say that it is not everything,
299
00:22:37,824 --> 00:22:41,028
but normally,
Whoever says this has children.
300
00:22:41,495 --> 00:22:45,197
I don't know how they can say that
because when I picked up Jeffrey...
301
00:22:46,208 --> 00:22:49,994
I felt his breath on my face.
It was beautiful.
302
00:22:50,838 --> 00:22:54,672
- Do you have children?
- No, I never got married.
303
00:22:56,219 --> 00:22:57,881
You can still have them.
304
00:23:02,226 --> 00:23:06,094
I had times when I fainted
and had morning sickness.
305
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,776
Sometimes I seemed to hear the baby
or feel the baby kicking.
306
00:23:13,154 --> 00:23:16,073
Doctors call this
pseudocyesis.
307
00:23:16,157 --> 00:23:21,116
- This is very common after abortion.
- Every day when I went to work,
308
00:23:22,289 --> 00:23:27,497
I took five blocks to avoid
see the children on the way to school.
309
00:23:27,753 --> 00:23:32,879
And if I see a baby carriage,
I just want to run away and hide.
310
00:23:34,427 --> 00:23:37,880
- It's natural, Dorothy.
- No, no.
311
00:23:38,306 --> 00:23:41,890
What is natural is having a baby,
that's it.
312
00:23:45,105 --> 00:23:48,273
I've been through this so many times.
313
00:23:48,525 --> 00:23:52,738
This girl told me
who wanted to have the baby.
314
00:23:53,239 --> 00:23:55,529
It's not fair.
315
00:23:56,284 --> 00:23:58,361
She really went through a lot.
316
00:23:58,453 --> 00:24:01,371
There is no psyche
that can withstand so much frustration.
317
00:24:01,456 --> 00:24:03,913
Do you think she didn't know
what were you doing?
318
00:24:04,042 --> 00:24:08,669
- I wish I could say that.
- Do you think she can plead insanity?
319
00:24:09,047 --> 00:24:12,334
God and society said:
"Grow and multiply."
320
00:24:12,509 --> 00:24:15,796
But the doctors told her that she
I couldn't. When he realized this,
321
00:24:15,888 --> 00:24:19,175
your self-image as a woman
and human being was lost.
322
00:24:19,309 --> 00:24:22,512
- That doesn't justify what she did.
- I'm not saying the opposite.
323
00:24:22,604 --> 00:24:26,305
But along comes Debra Elkins
and all its predecessors.
324
00:24:26,399 --> 00:24:30,445
They dangle a carrot in front of the
nose and say: "Run hard and it's yours."
325
00:24:30,528 --> 00:24:34,148
How many laps does she have to make?
until you believe you deserve a bite?
326
00:24:36,952 --> 00:24:41,247
Call me to testify. As a psychiatrist,
I will say that Dorothy was alone.
327
00:24:41,373 --> 00:24:45,242
Ask me how to be human
if I think she deserves to be arrested
328
00:24:45,420 --> 00:24:47,994
and you will hear an unconditional no.
329
00:24:48,756 --> 00:24:51,509
My son and his wife walked
six years around
330
00:24:51,593 --> 00:24:54,002
with the Adoption Institute.
331
00:24:54,095 --> 00:24:58,842
- Despair leads to these things.
- I doubt Josh would steal a baby.
332
00:24:58,934 --> 00:25:03,063
Yes, but I would also hesitate to put
Mrs. Baxter behind bars.
333
00:25:03,481 --> 00:25:05,558
If Olivet took pity on her,
334
00:25:05,650 --> 00:25:10,443
imagine the impact that 24 eyes
There will be no tears in this case.
335
00:25:10,571 --> 00:25:14,191
- Do you want her to be released?
- I want you to call Hoffman
336
00:25:14,325 --> 00:25:16,284
and make a deal.
337
00:25:17,287 --> 00:25:20,158
SUPREME COURT
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9
338
00:25:20,457 --> 00:25:25,500
The defendant wishes to withdraw the statement
of innocence and plead guilty.
339
00:25:25,587 --> 00:25:27,830
I assume there was an agreement.
340
00:25:27,923 --> 00:25:32,752
The agreement is one of deprivation of liberty,
with a suspended sentence.
341
00:25:33,054 --> 00:25:37,515
Mrs. Baxter agreed to do six
months of psychiatric treatment.
342
00:25:38,768 --> 00:25:43,681
You know you're pleading guilty
of a crime punishable by jail?
343
00:25:44,984 --> 00:25:46,229
Yes.
344
00:25:46,317 --> 00:25:49,154
She was informed by her lawyer
of the consequences?
345
00:25:49,529 --> 00:25:50,776
Yes.
346
00:25:50,906 --> 00:25:53,659
Describe the crime
with your words.
347
00:25:57,162 --> 00:25:59,737
I picked Jeffrey up from the hospital.
348
00:26:01,626 --> 00:26:03,666
I wanted to say this...
349
00:26:05,004 --> 00:26:08,505
We did everything we should.
350
00:26:09,509 --> 00:26:13,212
We gave her money, we took care of her
351
00:26:14,598 --> 00:26:18,550
and she sent us to life just because
We don't live in Westchester.
352
00:26:20,396 --> 00:26:24,097
Since when is it necessary to have a garden?
to like a child?
353
00:26:24,275 --> 00:26:27,360
You can now understand
that the child is not yours?
354
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,658
Should have seen it. Dorothy Baxter
It's much more than pathetic.
355
00:26:38,791 --> 00:26:41,912
I doubt that in six months
she can get treatment.
356
00:26:42,462 --> 00:26:46,294
Deborah Elkins doesn't reach the halfway mark
of the consequences of their actions.
357
00:26:46,424 --> 00:26:50,257
You're as confused as Mrs. Baxter,
It's not every day that a child is given.
358
00:26:51,054 --> 00:26:55,219
I don't think you're so confused
as you would have us believe.
359
00:26:55,309 --> 00:27:00,387
Baxter said were passed over
by a couple who live in Westchester.
360
00:27:00,606 --> 00:27:04,439
- Do you live in the city, the censorship?
- The Savitts live here too.
361
00:27:04,735 --> 00:27:09,482
Are you insinuating that she promised
the baby to another couple?
362
00:27:09,574 --> 00:27:13,739
We already know that two couples
they paid him. The more, the better.
363
00:27:15,956 --> 00:27:20,784
The Savitts and the Baxters put
advertisements in the university newspaper.
364
00:27:20,877 --> 00:27:23,963
Let's see if the mystery couple
in Westchester
365
00:27:24,423 --> 00:27:28,256
tried to contact the stork
in the same way.
366
00:27:29,219 --> 00:27:31,427
If you're right,
367
00:27:32,140 --> 00:27:33,599
God help us.
368
00:27:36,269 --> 00:27:39,187
CUSHMAN RESIDENCE
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11
369
00:27:39,272 --> 00:27:41,515
We spent a week with her
in the city.
370
00:27:41,650 --> 00:27:45,186
Hotel Plaza, expensive restaurants.
She said it was the first time.
371
00:27:45,321 --> 00:27:50,944
- He helped us choose the furniture.
- FAO Schwartz, Bergdorfs, everything.
372
00:27:51,410 --> 00:27:54,328
That week I spent
almost 15 thousand dollars.
373
00:27:54,496 --> 00:27:57,036
He still had the nerve to ask
to stay another week.
374
00:27:57,166 --> 00:28:00,002
- She's just a girl.
- It's over, Mary.
375
00:28:00,211 --> 00:28:02,454
We're not keeping the baby.
376
00:28:04,382 --> 00:28:07,669
- Did they send you money?
-Does ten thousand in cash count?
377
00:28:07,803 --> 00:28:10,758
There were always problems.
First, it was the income,
378
00:28:10,889 --> 00:28:14,057
then medical expenses,
they turned off the heating.
379
00:28:14,143 --> 00:28:15,555
She became depressed.
380
00:28:15,645 --> 00:28:19,774
It would have been better to have had an abortion,
but we could not allow such a thing.
381
00:28:20,024 --> 00:28:24,189
She told you she would give you the baby,
if they gave you money?
382
00:28:24,279 --> 00:28:26,901
She said she wanted
that we stay with him.
383
00:28:28,824 --> 00:28:31,068
Unfortunately, this is not enough.
384
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,946
When we went to choose clothes,
Debbie started crying.
385
00:28:35,124 --> 00:28:38,411
Said it was the first time
in months he felt happy.
386
00:28:38,502 --> 00:28:42,121
Said the baby was lucky
to have us as parents.
387
00:28:42,298 --> 00:28:46,462
He sent me an ultrasound of the baby,
I received a postcard on Mother's Day.
388
00:28:46,636 --> 00:28:49,388
What is the healer?
Who does something like that?
389
00:28:49,889 --> 00:28:54,848
We've already talked about this. I understand
it's complicated for girls,
390
00:28:55,145 --> 00:28:58,645
but this one is special.
391
00:29:02,486 --> 00:29:05,156
Garrett Stubbs, good guy.
392
00:29:05,239 --> 00:29:10,032
20 years ago I sued him for selling
the same building
393
00:29:10,327 --> 00:29:13,282
to three different buyers.
It was Irish charm.
394
00:29:13,497 --> 00:29:16,665
But she never told the couples
who would give them the baby
395
00:29:16,793 --> 00:29:19,665
in exchange for the baby.
- Big scam.
396
00:29:19,754 --> 00:29:24,003
She plants the seed and lets it
their imaginations do the rest.
397
00:29:24,092 --> 00:29:27,794
Can accept cash for expenses
doctors, but you can't sell the baby.
398
00:29:27,888 --> 00:29:31,140
You can, if you call a session
emergency
399
00:29:31,267 --> 00:29:33,307
of the state legislature.
400
00:29:33,728 --> 00:29:36,730
So,
Isn't selling a baby against the law?
401
00:29:36,856 --> 00:29:41,899
The Adoption Law stipulates
that selling a baby is a null act.
402
00:29:41,987 --> 00:29:45,819
- Criminal law does not stipulate anything.
- Unbelievable, it's slavery.
403
00:29:45,949 --> 00:29:48,905
- That ended a century ago.
- Less for children.
404
00:29:49,035 --> 00:29:51,991
We have no bases
for a civil case...
405
00:29:52,123 --> 00:29:56,371
- We can't do anything.
- Debra accepted money from couples,
406
00:29:56,544 --> 00:29:59,665
each one of them a believer
that I would keep the baby.
407
00:29:59,839 --> 00:30:04,383
If we can prove that it
He never intended to give it to anyone...
408
00:30:04,469 --> 00:30:05,964
Theft by false promise.
409
00:30:06,138 --> 00:30:10,635
And received more than US$60 thousand,
This is qualified theft.
410
00:30:13,145 --> 00:30:15,768
Made my constituent move
because of this?
411
00:30:15,856 --> 00:30:18,858
A serious crime always calls me
attention.
412
00:30:19,235 --> 00:30:23,364
- What is he talking about?
- Ask the three couples.
413
00:30:23,490 --> 00:30:25,863
If they are stupid to the point...
414
00:30:26,075 --> 00:30:29,410
I know you're stuck in this building
I don't know how long ago,
415
00:30:29,495 --> 00:30:33,032
but everyone knows that the biological mother
You have the right to change your mind.
416
00:30:33,125 --> 00:30:36,246
I read the Law of Adoption,
she is 45 days old.
417
00:30:36,336 --> 00:30:38,377
I'm more interested
criminal law,
418
00:30:38,464 --> 00:30:41,632
specifically the sections
about aggravated robbery.
419
00:30:41,801 --> 00:30:46,760
I never asked these people for anything.
They only gave it to me because they wanted to.
420
00:30:47,223 --> 00:30:50,427
- I never promised them anything.
- He led them to believe...
421
00:30:50,518 --> 00:30:54,054
I know precisely what I said,
Mr. Stone.
422
00:30:54,522 --> 00:30:58,356
I cannot be held responsible
by couples' deductions.
423
00:30:59,820 --> 00:31:02,692
But you accepted money
of these people
424
00:31:02,823 --> 00:31:05,861
knowing perfectly
that the baby would never be adopted.
425
00:31:05,993 --> 00:31:08,366
Very creative. Now prove it,
426
00:31:08,495 --> 00:31:13,206
taking into account that the baby has already been
adopted by Les and Gwen Savitt.
427
00:31:19,591 --> 00:31:22,296
Miss Elkins, how does the con work?
428
00:31:22,719 --> 00:31:25,887
When she discovered she was pregnant,
called his lawyer
429
00:31:26,014 --> 00:31:28,802
to know what I could say
to these people?
430
00:31:29,393 --> 00:31:32,146
To be honest, it was.
431
00:31:39,070 --> 00:31:41,397
The girl is not human.
432
00:31:41,531 --> 00:31:45,281
Unfortunately,
Inhumanity is not against the law.
433
00:31:45,410 --> 00:31:48,247
The law must be a shield
and not a sword.
434
00:31:48,413 --> 00:31:52,365
Debra caught her, manipulated her
and stuck it in the hearts of these people.
435
00:31:52,460 --> 00:31:56,458
- And he loved every minute of it.
- It's natural, he made a lot of money.
436
00:31:56,589 --> 00:31:59,081
Apparently,
the Savitts won the "contest."
437
00:31:59,216 --> 00:32:03,547
I doubt they didn't "gift"
Debra more than other couples.
438
00:32:03,638 --> 00:32:07,222
- Do you think Debra was more demanding?
- Much more.
439
00:32:07,309 --> 00:32:10,761
As you wish, Ben,
I just want to see this girl arrested.
440
00:32:14,733 --> 00:32:19,361
He must be enjoying himself.
We're not fools, Mr. Stone.
441
00:32:20,156 --> 00:32:23,111
We know that if we help you,
we lost the baby.
442
00:32:23,242 --> 00:32:27,455
Debra can only contest the adoption
up to 45 days after giving birth.
443
00:32:27,580 --> 00:32:32,125
At the time of trial, the period
will have ended. She can't take him.
444
00:32:32,210 --> 00:32:36,125
You don't understand. Do you know how much
How long have we waited for this?
445
00:32:36,214 --> 00:32:39,300
I will not allow
Let nothing spoil this now.
446
00:32:39,426 --> 00:32:43,639
- This girl is dangerous.
- That's why they don't take anything from us.
447
00:32:43,764 --> 00:32:47,015
- If they really bought the baby...
- It's not against the law.
448
00:32:47,143 --> 00:32:52,304
- No, but the adoption is not valid.
- They can't take my baby.
449
00:32:52,398 --> 00:32:55,899
Mrs. Savitt.
We can ask for bank statements.
450
00:32:55,986 --> 00:32:59,272
Isn't blackmail against the law?
451
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,239
Do what you want, but I'll tell you right now
which is a waste of time.
452
00:33:06,038 --> 00:33:09,076
If the Savitts paid Elkins,
They left no evidence.
453
00:33:09,208 --> 00:33:12,376
There is no record of transfers
on any of their accounts.
454
00:33:12,503 --> 00:33:15,042
We're back to square one.
455
00:33:15,256 --> 00:33:20,253
- You can call the Savitts to testify.
- No, they can commit perjury.
456
00:33:20,511 --> 00:33:26,053
When he was with the Cushmans,
They didn't talk about abortion?
457
00:33:26,644 --> 00:33:30,096
Mrs. Cushman said that Elkins
I was depressed because of money
458
00:33:30,230 --> 00:33:35,309
and said he was going to end the pregnancy.
- Doesn't that sound like extortion?
459
00:33:35,987 --> 00:33:37,696
Extortion?
460
00:33:38,072 --> 00:33:41,407
In its place,
I reviewed the material.
461
00:33:41,493 --> 00:33:44,945
Your constituent threatened to abort
if they didn't pay him.
462
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,998
No one has said yet
that she forced them to give money.
463
00:33:48,125 --> 00:33:51,043
In that case, go review the material.
The statute says:
464
00:33:51,169 --> 00:33:53,923
"Threat of physical harm
to anyone..."
465
00:33:54,006 --> 00:33:57,044
We know you told the Cushmans
who thought about aborting.
466
00:33:57,635 --> 00:34:02,843
- This is a joke, isn't it?
- I don't think your client is funny.
467
00:34:02,932 --> 00:34:07,679
- Let's see what Judge Anderson thinks.
- All right, let's see.
468
00:34:08,647 --> 00:34:10,059
In fact,
469
00:34:10,232 --> 00:34:14,527
extortion status requires threat
of causing harm to a person.
470
00:34:14,736 --> 00:34:17,490
It does not mention a fetus.
471
00:34:17,615 --> 00:34:21,068
A fetus older than 24 weeks
is considered a person
472
00:34:21,243 --> 00:34:23,913
in case of homicide.
Given this fact...
473
00:34:23,997 --> 00:34:27,746
Any 1st year student knows that
Criminal Law is of limited analysis.
474
00:34:27,833 --> 00:34:30,670
If it's not in the law, it doesn't count.
475
00:34:30,754 --> 00:34:33,875
The statute also covers
threat of damage to property.
476
00:34:34,007 --> 00:34:35,419
If, as you claim,
477
00:34:35,592 --> 00:34:39,176
a fetus is not a person
at any stage of your pregnancy...
478
00:34:39,305 --> 00:34:42,640
- I don't want to hear the end of the script.
- I understand.
479
00:34:42,767 --> 00:34:46,516
- But this case...
- It deserves to be left aside.
480
00:34:46,854 --> 00:34:50,984
- Thanks.
- Don't throw rockets yet, Doctor.
481
00:34:52,444 --> 00:34:57,106
- I'll let the case be judged.
- That's ridiculous.
482
00:34:57,198 --> 00:34:59,488
If my decision is contradicted,
very good.
483
00:34:59,576 --> 00:35:03,527
But I think your client is one of those
that a jury would like to use
484
00:35:03,664 --> 00:35:05,704
to make a new law.
485
00:35:06,917 --> 00:35:10,038
SUPREME COURT
THURSDAY, JANUARY 7
486
00:35:10,170 --> 00:35:13,208
She always wanted more,
no matter how much we gave.
487
00:35:13,716 --> 00:35:18,047
There came a time when he found
who had to inform Miss Elkins
488
00:35:18,679 --> 00:35:21,635
that they could no longer give you
additional funds?
489
00:35:21,725 --> 00:35:22,970
Yes.
490
00:35:23,268 --> 00:35:26,021
We are not rich
491
00:35:27,189 --> 00:35:30,524
and we had already given him ten thousand dollars.
492
00:35:30,776 --> 00:35:34,277
We told him that we already lived like this
with difficulties.
493
00:35:34,405 --> 00:35:37,491
- How did she react?
- He said:
494
00:35:38,618 --> 00:35:41,027
"What's the point?
495
00:35:41,204 --> 00:35:45,914
"Maybe it would be better for everyone
if I didn't go ahead."
496
00:35:46,627 --> 00:35:49,035
What was she insinuating?
497
00:35:51,339 --> 00:35:55,291
- That would end the pregnancy.
- Thanks.
498
00:35:56,053 --> 00:35:58,177
You can question the witness.
499
00:36:00,015 --> 00:36:03,516
It's not true
who pleaded guilty
500
00:36:03,603 --> 00:36:07,732
to kidnap my client's baby?
- She told me he was mine.
501
00:36:07,899 --> 00:36:11,898
Mrs. Baxter, if she had said that,
502
00:36:12,112 --> 00:36:17,072
you wouldn't be guilty
of a crime, isn't it?
503
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,823
Sent me a list
of baby names.
504
00:36:19,912 --> 00:36:22,452
And that's why he thought
that the baby was yours?
505
00:36:22,623 --> 00:36:27,120
Said he wanted us to stay
with him, we would be the best parents.
506
00:36:27,253 --> 00:36:31,881
Did I ever say I would give it to you
the baby to adopt?
507
00:36:32,592 --> 00:36:35,677
- Not like that.
- Does that mean I didn't say it?
508
00:36:39,391 --> 00:36:40,637
Yes.
509
00:36:40,810 --> 00:36:45,389
Basically,
misunderstood her intentions.
510
00:36:47,524 --> 00:36:48,771
I think so.
511
00:36:48,859 --> 00:36:51,980
is it possible
who also misunderstood
512
00:36:52,071 --> 00:36:54,148
when did she mention abortion?
513
00:36:58,203 --> 00:37:02,416
She got tired of repeating:
"Maybe I should have an abortion."
514
00:37:02,916 --> 00:37:05,788
- How did you react?
- I sent you more money.
515
00:37:05,961 --> 00:37:08,251
The depression soon passed.
516
00:37:08,338 --> 00:37:11,092
So, at the time he had the idea
517
00:37:11,342 --> 00:37:15,970
that Debra Elkins would have an abortion
if I didn't give you more money?
518
00:37:16,097 --> 00:37:21,258
Could make me believe anything
what she said. I had to believe it.
519
00:37:21,478 --> 00:37:24,148
Thanks.
You can cross-examine the witness.
520
00:37:26,608 --> 00:37:30,690
I can deduce that he was devastated
521
00:37:30,780 --> 00:37:34,115
when I found out that Debra
Did you give the baby to another couple?
522
00:37:34,408 --> 00:37:36,817
I don't have any babies.
523
00:37:37,245 --> 00:37:40,366
My husband asked me for a divorce.
524
00:37:41,333 --> 00:37:45,663
- She should be punished.
- This could be seen as envy.
525
00:37:45,796 --> 00:37:47,207
Protest.
526
00:37:51,509 --> 00:37:52,791
Ben...
527
00:37:53,720 --> 00:37:58,348
Despite what Judge Anderson thinks,
the motion does not guarantee conviction.
528
00:37:58,726 --> 00:38:02,144
I managed to establish the accusation
and that's all that worries me.
529
00:38:02,230 --> 00:38:05,600
In its place,
I no longer jumped for joy.
530
00:38:05,733 --> 00:38:08,023
I listed another witness.
531
00:38:08,111 --> 00:38:13,024
Mr. Savitt will testify. Have fun.
532
00:38:15,161 --> 00:38:18,163
We've been through this twelve times
in the last five years.
533
00:38:18,331 --> 00:38:20,621
We met a girl,
we like her,
534
00:38:20,708 --> 00:38:23,829
We hope she likes us.
That doesn't mean anything.
535
00:38:25,630 --> 00:38:29,925
Even though I paid her expenses,
Have you ever taken adoption for granted?
536
00:38:30,093 --> 00:38:35,171
Whoever does this often knows
that girls are fragile.
537
00:38:35,390 --> 00:38:38,677
Did Debbie ever tell you
that you were thinking about aborting?
538
00:38:39,019 --> 00:38:42,888
This is one of the options available
To the girls who are in this situation.
539
00:38:43,107 --> 00:38:46,608
Yes, she mentioned it,
but he never threatened us with it.
540
00:38:46,777 --> 00:38:51,440
I just want to be clear. Debbie Elkins
Have you ever given him an ultimatum?
541
00:38:51,574 --> 00:38:54,114
Money or abortion?
542
00:38:55,954 --> 00:38:58,493
- Of course not.
- I have no more questions.
543
00:39:00,875 --> 00:39:05,753
Mr. Savitt, to Debra Elkins
ever asked you for money
544
00:39:06,007 --> 00:39:11,429
that you couldn't give him?
- I earn well, money was nothing.
545
00:39:11,762 --> 00:39:13,139
I understand.
546
00:39:13,807 --> 00:39:17,936
So Miss Elkins never had
to resort to extortion tactics?
547
00:39:18,103 --> 00:39:21,804
You give him too much credit,
She's not that kind of girl.
548
00:39:22,690 --> 00:39:25,977
You may be confused, but you are
trying to deliver her baby
549
00:39:26,153 --> 00:39:29,108
It's the best family possible.
She is not a criminal.
550
00:39:29,448 --> 00:39:30,860
Oh no?
551
00:39:31,450 --> 00:39:35,152
So what's taking the Baxters
and the Cushmans thinking
552
00:39:35,246 --> 00:39:37,738
who would keep the baby
553
00:39:37,873 --> 00:39:41,208
so that Debra could get
as much money as possible?
554
00:39:41,294 --> 00:39:43,204
- Protest.
- Granted.
555
00:39:43,379 --> 00:39:47,674
I know the other couples are
disappointed, I know what that is.
556
00:39:48,051 --> 00:39:52,715
And the easiest thing is to blame
the biological mother, but it is not extortion.
557
00:39:52,807 --> 00:39:56,675
Additionally, Debra Elkins
You're not that kind of girl, are you?
558
00:39:59,021 --> 00:40:02,107
So why are you here?
You already have the baby.
559
00:40:02,191 --> 00:40:05,146
- Protest.
- Did she promise you something? Did he threaten him?
560
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,772
- Your Honor.
- Enough, Dr. Stone.
561
00:40:11,243 --> 00:40:15,324
We both know what kind of girl
Debra Elkins is.
562
00:40:15,831 --> 00:40:18,323
And don't think you're better than her.
563
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,290
The jury had to see that Les Savitt
he had ulterior motives.
564
00:40:24,381 --> 00:40:28,926
But the interrogation was unacceptable,
the judge ordered it to be disregarded.
565
00:40:29,011 --> 00:40:30,805
But the jury listened.
566
00:40:30,972 --> 00:40:35,434
When the appeal judges know,
It will be more fuel for the fire.
567
00:40:39,815 --> 00:40:41,476
I am?
568
00:40:42,693 --> 00:40:44,402
Let's go there now.
569
00:40:45,112 --> 00:40:47,984
The Savitts are in their office
with the lawyer.
570
00:40:50,534 --> 00:40:52,328
Before we begin,
571
00:40:52,496 --> 00:40:56,660
I want you to guarantee me that you won't
sue my client for nothing.
572
00:40:56,834 --> 00:41:00,250
If your client came looking
of absolution, you came to the wrong place.
573
00:41:00,337 --> 00:41:04,799
Forget it.
Let's start from the beginning, theoretically,
574
00:41:04,925 --> 00:41:08,675
that Mr. Savitt wants to change
your testimony.
575
00:41:12,809 --> 00:41:16,179
This is no joke,
Perjury is a serious crime.
576
00:41:16,313 --> 00:41:21,022
Yes, but do you really want to put
Is Elkins in jail or not?
577
00:41:21,652 --> 00:41:25,602
If you don't sue Mr. Savitt,
can condemn her.
578
00:41:27,324 --> 00:41:29,199
What are we talking about?
579
00:41:33,289 --> 00:41:38,165
She not only threatened us,
how he tortured us.
580
00:41:40,338 --> 00:41:44,207
I once suggested that she was
spending a lot of money.
581
00:41:44,717 --> 00:41:49,262
A week later he called
to Gwen screaming. It was...
582
00:41:49,848 --> 00:41:52,684
I was sick
and asked us to go to her.
583
00:41:52,810 --> 00:41:56,346
When I arrived, it wasn't an office,
it was an abortion clinic.
584
00:41:56,897 --> 00:42:00,896
She sent us sick photographs
of dead fetuses.
585
00:42:01,026 --> 00:42:04,444
And then I wrote at the bottom
"this could be yours."
586
00:42:04,530 --> 00:42:08,316
- She's an animal, Dr. Stone.
- Do you have any of these photographs?
587
00:42:08,451 --> 00:42:12,617
Les kept some just in case...
But when we got the baby,
588
00:42:12,706 --> 00:42:14,616
I made him throw them away.
589
00:42:14,792 --> 00:42:18,873
Mr. Savitt, I take it you didn't come here
out of kindness.
590
00:42:20,631 --> 00:42:25,294
We gave him a $75,000 bond
when the baby was born.
591
00:42:25,470 --> 00:42:29,718
- What more does she want from us?
- Did she ask you for more money?
592
00:42:29,808 --> 00:42:32,560
It wasn't her, it was her boyfriend.
593
00:42:33,686 --> 00:42:38,065
After my testimony,
he tried to suck another hundred thousand out of us.
594
00:42:38,858 --> 00:42:41,695
If we didn't pay him,
he would contest the adoption.
595
00:42:41,779 --> 00:42:46,241
- Shaw? It has no legitimacy.
- Yes, if it's the father.
596
00:42:46,408 --> 00:42:50,704
He has blood tests
that prove paternity.
597
00:42:50,788 --> 00:42:53,280
This girl will never be
satisfied.
598
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,951
We cannot submit to ourselves
Neither does our baby.
599
00:43:02,801 --> 00:43:05,887
That's how I like it.
Instead of suffering the agony of defeat,
600
00:43:06,054 --> 00:43:09,175
raise the white flag now.
- He may be right.
601
00:43:09,683 --> 00:43:14,098
I may not have evidence against
your client, but against Mr. Shaw...
602
00:43:15,231 --> 00:43:18,649
- That's another story.
- What are you talking about?
603
00:43:18,777 --> 00:43:22,526
We spoke to the Savitts,
eyewitnesses to extortion
604
00:43:22,614 --> 00:43:25,865
and aggravated robbery.
- Both crimes punishable by jail.
605
00:43:27,411 --> 00:43:31,492
- So, I'm going to jail and she gets off?
- Shut up, Steve.
606
00:43:31,624 --> 00:43:34,959
- Don't you see what they're trying to do?
- You have the right to a lawyer.
607
00:43:35,044 --> 00:43:39,340
Listen, Steve, everything's under control.
608
00:43:39,590 --> 00:43:43,756
- They think we're lowly white people.
- Maybe they're right.
609
00:43:44,095 --> 00:43:47,346
- Shut me up, stupid.
- Don't call me stupid!
610
00:43:47,432 --> 00:43:49,722
Steve. Steve...
611
00:43:49,935 --> 00:43:52,687
Come on, love. I love you.
612
00:43:54,315 --> 00:43:59,061
- Don't ruin everything.
- You really are a bitch, you know that?
613
00:43:59,194 --> 00:44:04,238
We will recommend
to serve the sentences consecutively
614
00:44:04,326 --> 00:44:08,371
and not simultaneously. Therefore,
you will be stuck for a long time.
615
00:44:08,538 --> 00:44:10,117
Ignore it.
616
00:44:12,459 --> 00:44:17,585
Apparently, Miss Elkins,
here the stupid one is stuck in place.
617
00:44:23,554 --> 00:44:26,592
- I want to make a deal.
- Do you see what I have to put up with?
618
00:44:26,766 --> 00:44:32,473
- The agreement depends on what you tell us.
- It was her idea.
619
00:44:32,688 --> 00:44:35,644
She planned everything even before
of getting pregnant.
620
00:44:35,734 --> 00:44:39,021
I didn't want any children,
but she got pregnant,
621
00:44:39,488 --> 00:44:41,315
He said it was an accident.
622
00:44:41,448 --> 00:44:44,154
Did you witness any
of extortions?
623
00:44:44,243 --> 00:44:49,202
She sent me to get pictures
It is an anti-abortion organization.
624
00:44:49,457 --> 00:44:52,459
I heard her talking on the phone,
She has a lot of talent.
625
00:44:52,585 --> 00:44:56,454
Want to know what she did?
I was giving birth at the hotel
626
00:44:56,547 --> 00:44:58,921
and received offers over the phone
between contractions.
627
00:44:59,009 --> 00:45:02,545
I didn't want to take him to the hospital,
He wanted me to make a quick sale.
628
00:45:02,638 --> 00:45:07,100
He only has his word and we all know
that a criminal has little character.
629
00:45:07,726 --> 00:45:11,772
And a person who auctions off his own son
Does it have a lot of character?
630
00:45:13,274 --> 00:45:15,648
Do you want to talk about character?
631
00:45:16,110 --> 00:45:19,113
These people
they only cared about me
632
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,861
because I had something
what they wanted.
633
00:45:22,617 --> 00:45:27,530
You think I don't know what they think
from me? They used me
634
00:45:27,623 --> 00:45:30,708
and I used them too.
- Selling your son?
635
00:45:32,544 --> 00:45:34,373
My first daughter...
636
00:45:34,755 --> 00:45:38,541
I was in the shelter
for girls in Poughkeepsie,
637
00:45:38,677 --> 00:45:42,212
surrounded by kind people,
just fake smiles,
638
00:45:42,347 --> 00:45:44,554
"Debbie, are you okay?"
639
00:45:45,433 --> 00:45:50,013
They took the baby away from me and I came back
It's my home and it's my shitty life.
640
00:45:50,355 --> 00:45:55,980
I wasn't going to allow it to happen to me
again. So I make babies.
641
00:45:56,153 --> 00:46:00,816
I have a way. What's the harm if there are people
willing to pay me for this?
642
00:46:04,370 --> 00:46:07,574
Aggravated robbery, Ben. How about that?
She deserves the least.
643
00:46:10,460 --> 00:46:12,786
She serves between four and twelve.
644
00:46:20,805 --> 00:46:23,261
I just spoke to Gwen Savitt.
Go get the baby
645
