Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:10,244 --> 00:00:12,388
- In the criminal
justice system,
2
00:00:12,413 --> 00:00:13,645
the people are represented
3
00:00:13,670 --> 00:00:16,148
by two separate, yet
equally important groups:
4
00:00:16,173 --> 00:00:18,132
the police, who
investigate crime,
5
00:00:18,157 --> 00:00:20,848
and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.
6
00:00:20,873 --> 00:00:22,709
These are their stories.
7
00:00:26,865 --> 00:00:28,574
Hi, this is Jenny.
Leave a message.
8
00:00:28,575 --> 00:00:29,783
Hi, Mom.
9
00:00:29,784 --> 00:00:32,036
Sorry I haven't been
in touch for a while.
10
00:00:32,037 --> 00:00:34,955
Things have been a little
crazy lately with classes
11
00:00:34,956 --> 00:00:37,541
and work at the coffee shop.
12
00:00:37,542 --> 00:00:39,209
I miss you.
13
00:00:39,210 --> 00:00:40,711
Let's get together soon.
14
00:00:40,712 --> 00:00:44,423
Maybe dinner at the
Jupiter or something?
15
00:00:44,424 --> 00:00:46,133
I love you.
16
00:00:46,134 --> 00:00:48,218
Okay. I gotta go.
17
00:00:48,219 --> 00:00:49,970
Tell Dad I love him
too.
18
00:00:49,971 --> 00:00:51,305
Bye.
19
00:00:55,310 --> 00:00:57,687
I'm really not feeling well.
20
00:01:02,859 --> 00:01:05,069
Restaurant worker found
her in the dumpster.
21
00:01:05,070 --> 00:01:06,487
Body's been rolled
up in that rug.
22
00:01:06,488 --> 00:01:07,405
Any ID?
23
00:01:07,406 --> 00:01:09,740
No wallet. No phone, either.
24
00:01:09,741 --> 00:01:11,367
Approximate age?
25
00:01:11,368 --> 00:01:14,578
17 or 18. Your guess
is as good as mine.
26
00:01:14,579 --> 00:01:15,788
Time of death?
27
00:01:15,789 --> 00:01:17,915
MLI said she's been
dead at least a day.
28
00:01:17,916 --> 00:01:19,750
Probably been here a few hours.
29
00:01:19,751 --> 00:01:20,918
Cause of death?
30
00:01:20,919 --> 00:01:23,045
No obvious signs of trauma.
31
00:01:29,094 --> 00:01:30,260
What is that?
32
00:01:30,261 --> 00:01:32,596
Looks like a brand.
33
00:01:32,597 --> 00:01:33,806
Lone star?
34
00:01:33,807 --> 00:01:34,932
What is that, Texas?
35
00:01:34,933 --> 00:01:37,559
No, no, no. Lodestar.
36
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,439
Means inspiration or a guiding
light for a ship at night.
37
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,192
What the hell guided her here?
38
00:02:31,865 --> 00:02:32,990
Young lady at the end.
39
00:02:32,991 --> 00:02:34,283
What did she die of?
40
00:02:34,284 --> 00:02:35,534
She died of septic shock.
41
00:02:35,535 --> 00:02:37,494
The wound from the
branding got infected.
42
00:02:37,495 --> 00:02:39,621
It was festering for
a couple of weeks.
43
00:02:39,622 --> 00:02:42,541
And she never got any
medical treatment.
44
00:02:42,542 --> 00:02:45,210
Probably because of this.
45
00:02:45,211 --> 00:02:46,628
- Ligature marks.
- Mm-hmm.
46
00:02:46,629 --> 00:02:48,255
So she was being held
against her will.
47
00:02:48,256 --> 00:02:49,965
Meanwhile, the infection spread.
48
00:02:49,966 --> 00:02:53,093
Sepsis caused tissue damage
and ultimately, organ failure.
49
00:02:53,094 --> 00:02:55,429
Any estimate on her age?
50
00:02:55,430 --> 00:02:58,724
The forensic odontologist
put her in her early 20s.
51
00:02:58,725 --> 00:03:01,185
She seemed a hell of a
lot younger than that.
52
00:03:01,186 --> 00:03:03,354
Malnutrition will do that.
53
00:03:03,355 --> 00:03:05,189
She probably comes from money.
54
00:03:05,190 --> 00:03:07,608
Has expensive dental work.
55
00:03:07,609 --> 00:03:10,527
So nobody in Missing Persons
matches her description.
56
00:03:10,528 --> 00:03:12,029
Facial rec was a bust.
57
00:03:12,030 --> 00:03:14,531
And the branding design didn't
turn up in any database.
58
00:03:14,532 --> 00:03:16,992
- You run her prints?
- Not in the system.
59
00:03:16,993 --> 00:03:21,456
Only thing I found was
this in her pocket.
60
00:03:23,416 --> 00:03:25,459
It's got a logo
to a music store.
61
00:03:25,460 --> 00:03:27,587
Sharp Sounds Music.
62
00:03:31,841 --> 00:03:34,468
That's Ava. What the
hell happened to her?
63
00:03:34,469 --> 00:03:35,636
That's what we're
trying to figure out.
64
00:03:35,637 --> 00:03:37,721
She died of an infection.
65
00:03:37,722 --> 00:03:40,265
- An infection?
- Was she in here recently?
66
00:03:40,266 --> 00:03:41,725
It's been a couple months.
67
00:03:41,726 --> 00:03:44,561
She was super sweet
and really nice.
68
00:03:44,562 --> 00:03:45,979
We're trying to identify her.
69
00:03:45,980 --> 00:03:47,398
Maybe you know her last name?
70
00:03:47,399 --> 00:03:48,899
I'm sorry.
71
00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:50,734
What about a receipt?
Maybe she bought something.
72
00:03:50,735 --> 00:03:53,362
No, I gave her a
couple guitar picks.
73
00:03:53,363 --> 00:03:55,739
I gave her a harmonica too.
74
00:03:55,740 --> 00:03:57,449
I kind of felt sorry for her.
75
00:03:57,450 --> 00:03:58,826
Why is that?
76
00:03:58,827 --> 00:04:00,911
She seemed lost.
77
00:04:00,912 --> 00:04:03,038
She used to stop by the
store every now and then,
78
00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:05,332
you know, ask to play
some of the guitars.
79
00:04:05,333 --> 00:04:06,583
I loved listening to her.
80
00:04:06,584 --> 00:04:07,751
You know, she was
really talented.
81
00:04:07,752 --> 00:04:09,586
She ever come in
here with anybody?
82
00:04:09,587 --> 00:04:10,921
Uh, yeah, a dude.
83
00:04:10,922 --> 00:04:12,923
Oh, yeah? What'd he look like?
84
00:04:12,924 --> 00:04:15,092
Early 20s, dreadlocks.
85
00:04:15,093 --> 00:04:16,885
Don't suppose you know
where we can find him.
86
00:04:16,886 --> 00:04:19,263
Yeah, sometimes he
busks at that park
87
00:04:19,264 --> 00:04:20,431
a couple blocks south of here.
88
00:04:20,432 --> 00:04:22,516
Name's Ken something.
89
00:04:22,517 --> 00:04:25,519
- Thanks.
- Thank you.
90
00:04:28,064 --> 00:04:29,106
Excuse me.
91
00:04:29,107 --> 00:04:30,399
Excuse me, Ken.
92
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,608
Ken, we need a word.
93
00:04:31,609 --> 00:04:33,027
It's primetime right now, man.
94
00:04:33,028 --> 00:04:34,111
Can this wait?
95
00:04:34,112 --> 00:04:35,697
Unfortunately, it can't.
96
00:04:37,991 --> 00:04:40,784
Ava and I met senior
year at Tufts.
97
00:04:40,785 --> 00:04:43,078
We both wanted to be musicians.
98
00:04:43,079 --> 00:04:46,498
We moved in together
right after graduation.
99
00:04:46,499 --> 00:04:48,333
A few months ago, she
started hanging out
100
00:04:48,334 --> 00:04:50,711
with a new group of friends,
101
00:04:50,712 --> 00:04:54,340
said she was looking to
deepen her creative forces.
102
00:04:54,341 --> 00:04:56,884
Kicked me to the curb.
103
00:04:56,885 --> 00:04:58,260
That make you mad?
104
00:04:58,261 --> 00:05:00,929
Bummed me out, but
I didn't kill her.
105
00:05:00,930 --> 00:05:02,806
I loved her.
106
00:05:02,807 --> 00:05:04,308
We wanna get in touch
with her parents.
107
00:05:04,309 --> 00:05:05,309
You know her last name?
108
00:05:05,310 --> 00:05:06,602
Newhall.
109
00:05:06,603 --> 00:05:09,271
They live on the
Upper East Side.
110
00:05:09,272 --> 00:05:11,065
When was the last
time you saw her?
111
00:05:11,066 --> 00:05:12,733
We were supposed
to meet up at a bar
112
00:05:12,734 --> 00:05:14,860
in Red Hook five days ago.
113
00:05:14,861 --> 00:05:17,446
I wanted to apologize
for some things.
114
00:05:17,447 --> 00:05:19,782
She stood you up?
115
00:05:19,783 --> 00:05:22,493
Someone said they saw her
outside the bar running away.
116
00:05:22,494 --> 00:05:24,536
I went to go check,
but she wasn't there,
117
00:05:24,537 --> 00:05:27,164
so I figured she changed
her mind about meeting me.
118
00:05:27,165 --> 00:05:28,625
We need the name of the bar.
119
00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:34,505
Sorry, guys. We're
not open yet.
120
00:05:34,506 --> 00:05:36,256
Come back in an hour.
121
00:05:36,257 --> 00:05:37,508
NYPD.
122
00:05:37,509 --> 00:05:38,676
You the manager?
123
00:05:38,677 --> 00:05:40,386
I'm the owner. How can I help?
124
00:05:40,387 --> 00:05:42,513
You seen this girl
around here before?
125
00:05:42,514 --> 00:05:44,057
Doesn't look familiar.
126
00:05:45,975 --> 00:05:48,644
- What about this guy?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
127
00:05:48,645 --> 00:05:50,270
He comes in from time to time.
128
00:05:50,271 --> 00:05:51,313
Did he do something?
129
00:05:51,314 --> 00:05:52,690
We're not sure.
130
00:05:52,691 --> 00:05:56,026
How long these
cameras store video?
131
00:05:56,027 --> 00:05:58,195
About a week.
132
00:05:58,196 --> 00:06:00,364
Love to see the footage.
133
00:06:00,365 --> 00:06:01,991
Sure.
134
00:06:04,244 --> 00:06:05,536
Hey.
135
00:06:05,537 --> 00:06:07,454
I tracked down
the vic's parents.
136
00:06:07,455 --> 00:06:09,873
Father is a Wall
Street big shot.
137
00:06:09,874 --> 00:06:12,543
The mother is a
network news anchor.
138
00:06:12,544 --> 00:06:14,086
Uh, Jenny Newhall?
139
00:06:14,087 --> 00:06:15,671
Oh, my wife loves her.
140
00:06:15,672 --> 00:06:16,839
Well, they're in Palm Beach,
141
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:19,049
but they're headed
back to New York now.
142
00:06:19,050 --> 00:06:20,300
Hey.
143
00:06:20,301 --> 00:06:22,553
How are we doing with
that video from the bar?
144
00:06:22,554 --> 00:06:24,054
Going through it now.
145
00:06:24,055 --> 00:06:27,516
Ava's ex-boyfriend
was definitely there.
146
00:06:27,517 --> 00:06:30,019
- Yeah, does she ever show?
- Not exactly.
147
00:06:30,020 --> 00:06:34,648
This is about a
block from the bar.
148
00:06:38,069 --> 00:06:41,572
There's Ava.
149
00:06:41,573 --> 00:06:43,449
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
150
00:06:43,450 --> 00:06:44,658
That's attempted kidnapping.
151
00:06:44,659 --> 00:06:46,202
Who the hell is this guy?
152
00:06:49,956 --> 00:06:51,874
Geez.
153
00:06:51,875 --> 00:06:53,792
All right, find out
who that guy was.
154
00:06:53,793 --> 00:06:55,252
I'll run the plates.
155
00:07:04,137 --> 00:07:05,972
There's our car.
156
00:07:12,479 --> 00:07:13,980
Donnie Preston.
157
00:07:15,482 --> 00:07:16,899
NYPD.
158
00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:19,526
What are you doing? This
is my car, my house.
159
00:07:19,527 --> 00:07:20,569
Is there a problem?
160
00:07:20,570 --> 00:07:22,112
Gun!
161
00:07:22,113 --> 00:07:23,490
Hands above your head.
162
00:07:25,158 --> 00:07:26,534
Touch the fence.
163
00:07:28,953 --> 00:07:30,454
Keep your hands on the fence.
164
00:07:30,455 --> 00:07:31,664
Do not move.
165
00:07:33,416 --> 00:07:34,833
I didn't do nothing.
166
00:07:34,834 --> 00:07:36,377
Yeah, well, you got
a lot of firepower
167
00:07:36,378 --> 00:07:37,295
for a guy who didn't do nothing.
168
00:07:37,296 --> 00:07:38,337
They're legal.
169
00:07:38,338 --> 00:07:39,963
What's this all about?
170
00:07:39,964 --> 00:07:42,633
Attempted kidnapping,
for starters.
171
00:07:53,645 --> 00:07:54,645
It's not what you think.
172
00:07:55,563 --> 00:07:56,897
I wasn't gonna hurt her.
173
00:07:56,898 --> 00:07:59,316
No, you were just gonna
drive her around the city,
174
00:07:59,317 --> 00:08:01,860
maybe grab a cocktail
at the Polo Lounge,
175
00:08:01,861 --> 00:08:04,363
and then drop her off safe
and sound at home, right?
176
00:08:04,364 --> 00:08:06,490
Look, I know Ava's parents.
177
00:08:06,491 --> 00:08:09,034
I'm the doorman
in their building.
178
00:08:09,035 --> 00:08:11,662
Her mother hired me,
paid me 20 grand,
179
00:08:11,663 --> 00:08:13,706
half upfront and the
other half upon delivery.
180
00:08:13,707 --> 00:08:15,082
What do you mean delivery?
181
00:08:15,083 --> 00:08:16,875
I was supposed to
bring the kid home.
182
00:08:16,876 --> 00:08:18,210
Come on, bro.
183
00:08:18,211 --> 00:08:20,045
You're trying to make us believe
184
00:08:20,046 --> 00:08:22,798
that Ava's parents
hired you to kidnap her?
185
00:08:22,799 --> 00:08:24,633
No. I was trying to save her.
186
00:08:24,634 --> 00:08:27,219
- From what?
- I don't know. I didn't ask.
187
00:08:27,220 --> 00:08:29,221
I got bills to pay just
like everyone else.
188
00:08:29,222 --> 00:08:31,182
Yeah.
189
00:08:32,809 --> 00:08:34,519
Ava's parents are here.
190
00:08:36,771 --> 00:08:37,981
Sit tight.
191
00:08:39,607 --> 00:08:41,817
She sent us a strange voicemail
192
00:08:41,818 --> 00:08:43,235
a couple of days ago.
193
00:08:43,236 --> 00:08:44,820
We tried calling, but
she never picked up.
194
00:08:44,821 --> 00:08:47,072
This is exactly what we
were trying to prevent.
195
00:08:47,073 --> 00:08:48,407
It's why we hired Donnie.
196
00:08:48,408 --> 00:08:49,992
Was your daughter in
some kind of trouble?
197
00:08:49,993 --> 00:08:51,285
Yes, she was.
198
00:08:51,286 --> 00:08:53,120
She'd apparently joined
some sort of cult.
199
00:08:53,121 --> 00:08:55,706
She went to a meeting,
a group dedicated
200
00:08:55,707 --> 00:09:01,170
to unlocking their creativity
or something like that.
201
00:09:01,171 --> 00:09:04,256
Ava had been
depressed, uninspired.
202
00:09:04,257 --> 00:09:06,633
Anyway, she seemed
really excited about it,
203
00:09:06,634 --> 00:09:09,219
- so we were supportive.
- At first.
204
00:09:09,220 --> 00:09:11,180
But then it started to spiral.
205
00:09:11,181 --> 00:09:12,765
Was she living with
anyone at this cult?
206
00:09:12,766 --> 00:09:14,308
I think so.
207
00:09:14,309 --> 00:09:16,185
She pretty much cut off
all contact with us.
208
00:09:16,186 --> 00:09:18,270
Except when she wanted money.
209
00:09:18,271 --> 00:09:20,439
These people tried
to bleed her dry.
210
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,358
They emptied her bank
accounts and then started
211
00:09:22,359 --> 00:09:24,318
taking from her trust fund.
212
00:09:24,319 --> 00:09:26,153
Thank God my lawyer called me.
213
00:09:26,154 --> 00:09:27,613
We put a freeze on the account.
214
00:09:27,614 --> 00:09:28,781
So you cut her off?
215
00:09:28,782 --> 00:09:30,032
I had to.
216
00:09:30,033 --> 00:09:31,450
How did she take that?
217
00:09:31,451 --> 00:09:33,744
She just kept
repeating this mantra.
218
00:09:33,745 --> 00:09:35,996
"I'm not a victim.
Lodestar is my guide.
219
00:09:35,997 --> 00:09:38,332
I will manifest my future."
220
00:09:38,333 --> 00:09:40,709
It's like she wasn't
herself anymore.
221
00:09:40,710 --> 00:09:43,545
We just... we couldn't
connect with her, the...
222
00:09:43,546 --> 00:09:44,838
The real her.
223
00:09:44,839 --> 00:09:48,801
So you hired your doorman
to bring her home?
224
00:09:48,802 --> 00:09:51,387
I assume that means you
know where she was living.
225
00:09:56,267 --> 00:09:59,812
Sisters, these detectives
just told me we lost Ava.
226
00:09:59,813 --> 00:10:02,523
Oh, no.
227
00:10:02,524 --> 00:10:04,650
I don't understand
what happened.
228
00:10:04,651 --> 00:10:07,319
Ava was on a righteous
path. She was a warrior.
229
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,737
I'm sure she was,
but unfortunately,
230
00:10:08,738 --> 00:10:10,489
that's not how we found her.
231
00:10:10,490 --> 00:10:13,368
When was the last time
any of you saw Ava?
232
00:10:15,328 --> 00:10:16,995
I haven't seen
her in a few days.
233
00:10:16,996 --> 00:10:18,330
Me, either.
234
00:10:18,331 --> 00:10:19,748
I went to her room this morning.
235
00:10:19,749 --> 00:10:21,166
I was gonna give her
a cup of mint tea,
236
00:10:21,167 --> 00:10:22,793
but she wasn't there.
237
00:10:22,794 --> 00:10:24,712
I saw her two nights ago.
238
00:10:24,713 --> 00:10:27,006
I think she was going
to watch some bands.
239
00:10:27,007 --> 00:10:29,341
She didn't look like she was
going out to listen to music.
240
00:10:29,342 --> 00:10:30,884
She was still in her pajamas.
241
00:10:30,885 --> 00:10:32,095
She wasn't even wearing shoes.
242
00:10:34,097 --> 00:10:37,057
What exactly goes
on in this house?
243
00:10:37,058 --> 00:10:39,560
We're just a community of women
244
00:10:39,561 --> 00:10:42,271
dedicated to creativity
and self-actualization.
245
00:10:42,272 --> 00:10:44,314
Oh. Who's in charge?
246
00:10:44,315 --> 00:10:46,650
We're all in charge,
247
00:10:46,651 --> 00:10:49,112
yet at the same time,
we're all subordinate.
248
00:10:51,990 --> 00:10:53,198
So let me get this straight.
249
00:10:53,199 --> 00:10:56,201
Ava died from an infection
250
00:10:56,202 --> 00:10:59,997
that was spreading for
days, maybe even weeks.
251
00:10:59,998 --> 00:11:03,792
She was rolled up in a carpet
and tossed into a dumpster.
252
00:11:03,793 --> 00:11:08,047
Nobody here noticed anything
out of the ordinary.
253
00:11:12,719 --> 00:11:17,097
And no one can tell me
what happened to her.
254
00:11:17,098 --> 00:11:18,932
You look familiar to me.
255
00:11:18,933 --> 00:11:20,225
How do I know you?
256
00:11:20,226 --> 00:11:21,935
I'd like to ask you
a few questions.
257
00:11:21,936 --> 00:11:24,104
Why don't you grab your
coat and step outside?
258
00:11:24,105 --> 00:11:25,147
Let's go.
259
00:11:31,905 --> 00:11:34,366
Sorry for your loss.
260
00:11:40,246 --> 00:11:41,413
You really found
Ava in the dumpster?
261
00:11:41,414 --> 00:11:43,624
- What's your name?
- Sienna Barton.
262
00:11:43,625 --> 00:11:45,000
I recognized that hand signal.
263
00:11:45,001 --> 00:11:46,251
You were asking for help, right?
264
00:11:46,252 --> 00:11:47,920
I have a daughter
about your age.
265
00:11:47,921 --> 00:11:49,338
She learned it on social media.
266
00:11:49,339 --> 00:11:51,048
- I need to talk to my parents.
- Sure.
267
00:11:51,049 --> 00:11:52,634
I'll get you a
phone. Come here.
268
00:11:54,636 --> 00:11:56,720
Hold on. You're safe with us.
269
00:11:56,721 --> 00:11:57,971
No one's gonna hurt you.
270
00:11:57,972 --> 00:12:00,433
It's okay. It's okay.
Just take a breath.
271
00:12:02,644 --> 00:12:05,771
You know your friend
Ava was sick, right?
272
00:12:05,772 --> 00:12:08,857
She had a brand
that got infected.
273
00:12:08,858 --> 00:12:10,485
You know anything about that?
274
00:12:15,615 --> 00:12:16,949
I don't wanna talk
about all this.
275
00:12:16,950 --> 00:12:18,534
I need to call my parents.
276
00:12:18,535 --> 00:12:20,202
Then why don't we call
them from the car?
277
00:12:20,203 --> 00:12:22,371
It's probably safer.
278
00:12:22,372 --> 00:12:24,081
Is that okay?
279
00:12:41,433 --> 00:12:43,033
Ava and I worked in
the same coffee shop.
280
00:12:43,643 --> 00:12:44,893
She said she was
feeling kind of stuck,
281
00:12:44,894 --> 00:12:45,854
so I told her about
this group, Lodestar.
282
00:12:45,855 --> 00:12:47,187
I thought we could help.
283
00:12:47,188 --> 00:12:49,023
Was she being held
against her will?
284
00:12:49,024 --> 00:12:51,984
No. We were all
there voluntarily.
285
00:12:51,985 --> 00:12:55,070
Can you explain
the ligature marks?
286
00:12:55,071 --> 00:12:56,572
On her wrists, she
had these marks.
287
00:12:56,573 --> 00:12:58,532
It looked like she
was being restrained.
288
00:12:58,533 --> 00:13:01,535
That's from the
branding ceremony.
289
00:13:01,536 --> 00:13:03,830
It kind of hurts, so
we tie everyone down.
290
00:13:05,457 --> 00:13:07,249
When was she branded?
291
00:13:07,250 --> 00:13:08,834
A couple of weeks ago.
292
00:13:08,835 --> 00:13:11,462
That wound got infected.
That's what killed her.
293
00:13:11,463 --> 00:13:14,882
Did you... did you notice
her health was deteriorating?
294
00:13:14,883 --> 00:13:17,051
She seemed okay,
but I didn't really
295
00:13:17,052 --> 00:13:18,385
see her much in
the past few days.
296
00:13:18,386 --> 00:13:22,556
Did somebody prevent her
from seeing a doctor?
297
00:13:22,557 --> 00:13:24,975
Not exactly.
298
00:13:24,976 --> 00:13:27,269
I'm sorry, but it's complicated.
299
00:13:27,270 --> 00:13:32,149
You can tell us what
you're afraid of.
300
00:13:32,150 --> 00:13:33,484
I'm not a victim.
301
00:13:33,485 --> 00:13:36,612
Lodestar is my guide. I
will manifest my future.
302
00:13:38,740 --> 00:13:42,701
We respect that, but
a woman has died.
303
00:13:42,702 --> 00:13:45,913
You know that you
participated in an assault?
304
00:13:45,914 --> 00:13:47,957
Sienna, sweetheart.
305
00:13:51,961 --> 00:13:53,754
This is my daughter.
306
00:13:53,755 --> 00:13:55,757
I wanna talk to her alone.
307
00:14:01,137 --> 00:14:03,222
I think we should charge her.
308
00:14:03,223 --> 00:14:04,306
With what?
309
00:14:04,307 --> 00:14:06,892
Assault, conspiracy,
manslaughter.
310
00:14:06,893 --> 00:14:08,936
She admitted she
participated in the branding.
311
00:14:08,937 --> 00:14:11,647
No, I get it, but I just...
312
00:14:11,648 --> 00:14:13,440
I don't think that's enough.
313
00:14:13,441 --> 00:14:14,900
We charge manslaughter when kids
314
00:14:14,901 --> 00:14:16,735
drink themselves to death
at fraternity hazings.
315
00:14:16,736 --> 00:14:18,278
Yeah, but that's not
what happened here.
316
00:14:18,279 --> 00:14:19,405
There's a time gap.
317
00:14:19,406 --> 00:14:20,656
She had enough time
to go to a doctor.
318
00:14:20,657 --> 00:14:22,241
Maybe somebody didn't let her
319
00:14:22,242 --> 00:14:23,867
because going to get
medical treatment
320
00:14:23,868 --> 00:14:26,578
would have drawn
attention to the cult.
321
00:14:26,579 --> 00:14:29,039
Okay. Fair enough.
322
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,418
So if you can find
evidence that the person
323
00:14:32,419 --> 00:14:35,587
who branded Ava also prevented
her from going to the doctor
324
00:14:35,588 --> 00:14:38,298
and then dumped her body,
325
00:14:38,299 --> 00:14:40,885
we can charge that
person with homicide.
326
00:14:46,433 --> 00:14:47,767
Police. Open up.
327
00:14:49,352 --> 00:14:50,978
Police.
328
00:14:50,979 --> 00:14:52,646
We're executing
a search warrant.
329
00:14:52,647 --> 00:14:54,773
We need to enter the premises.
330
00:14:54,774 --> 00:14:56,150
Step back, miss.
331
00:14:56,151 --> 00:14:57,402
Please step back.
332
00:15:01,281 --> 00:15:03,032
- Move into that room, please.
- Come on.
333
00:15:03,033 --> 00:15:04,992
- Ladies, let's go.
- Hey, let's go. Come on.
334
00:15:04,993 --> 00:15:06,285
I need everyone to
stop what they're doing
335
00:15:06,286 --> 00:15:08,620
and move over to
this room. Come on.
336
00:15:08,621 --> 00:15:11,832
Move along. Have a seat.
337
00:15:11,833 --> 00:15:14,376
Keep an eye on them.
338
00:15:14,377 --> 00:15:16,045
Where's Ava's room?
339
00:15:16,046 --> 00:15:18,255
It's over there at
the end of the hall.
340
00:15:18,256 --> 00:15:20,632
- Whose room is that?
- That's my room.
341
00:15:20,633 --> 00:15:22,301
Please have a seat.
342
00:15:30,727 --> 00:15:32,227
I was just in Ava's bedroom.
343
00:15:32,228 --> 00:15:34,980
Couldn't find a cell phone,
but I found a brand new carpet
344
00:15:34,981 --> 00:15:36,774
with the price tag still on it.
345
00:15:36,775 --> 00:15:39,026
I got a receipt for an
8 by 10 foot carpet,
346
00:15:39,027 --> 00:15:40,319
purchased this morning.
347
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,446
- Paid for by Jocelyn Davis.
- Get out of here.
348
00:15:42,447 --> 00:15:43,781
So she replaced the carpet,
349
00:15:43,782 --> 00:15:45,324
which shows
consciousness of guilt.
350
00:15:45,325 --> 00:15:47,993
Means we can prove Ava
was killed in her bedroom.
351
00:15:47,994 --> 00:15:51,413
Also means we can prove
Jocelyn lied to us.
352
00:15:51,414 --> 00:15:54,708
She said that Ava
went to go see a band
353
00:15:54,709 --> 00:15:56,252
and never came home.
354
00:15:58,588 --> 00:16:00,464
There she is.
355
00:16:00,465 --> 00:16:02,300
I got the branding iron.
356
00:16:04,135 --> 00:16:07,388
Well, that's three
strikes against Jocelyn.
357
00:16:07,389 --> 00:16:10,307
Jocelyn, could you
come over here, please?
358
00:16:10,308 --> 00:16:11,393
We need a word.
359
00:16:14,312 --> 00:16:16,480
You can't take control over me.
360
00:16:16,481 --> 00:16:18,065
You can't break the circle.
361
00:16:18,066 --> 00:16:20,317
These bonds, they're
shatterproof.
362
00:16:20,318 --> 00:16:22,319
You don't wanna
interfere in an arrest.
363
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,946
We stand united.
364
00:16:23,947 --> 00:16:25,489
Yeah, that's not how this works.
365
00:16:25,490 --> 00:16:26,907
So you back off now,
366
00:16:26,908 --> 00:16:29,993
or we're gonna do
our own division.
367
00:16:29,994 --> 00:16:33,247
Frank, let's try a
different approach.
368
00:16:33,248 --> 00:16:37,418
Jocelyn, you seem
like a smart woman.
369
00:16:37,419 --> 00:16:38,920
Come with us.
370
00:16:43,049 --> 00:16:45,926
Okay, all of you
listen to me closely.
371
00:16:45,927 --> 00:16:47,928
We can do this the easy way,
372
00:16:47,929 --> 00:16:49,596
or we can do this
my partner's way.
373
00:16:49,597 --> 00:16:50,973
Up to you.
374
00:16:57,313 --> 00:16:58,647
It's okay.
375
00:16:58,648 --> 00:17:00,150
We haven't done anything wrong.
376
00:17:01,693 --> 00:17:03,694
Put your hands behind your back.
377
00:17:03,695 --> 00:17:06,948
You're under arrest for
the death of Ava Newhall.
378
00:17:11,036 --> 00:17:15,289
This is a branding iron
we found in your bedroom.
379
00:17:15,290 --> 00:17:17,416
Your fingerprints were
lifted from the handle.
380
00:17:17,417 --> 00:17:20,127
Ava's DNA was found
on the Lodestar stamp.
381
00:17:20,128 --> 00:17:22,212
Ava consented to the branding.
382
00:17:22,213 --> 00:17:24,923
We both know consent
is not a defense
383
00:17:24,924 --> 00:17:27,259
to the infliction of
serious bodily injury.
384
00:17:27,260 --> 00:17:28,761
And we found this
carpet in the dumpster.
385
00:17:28,762 --> 00:17:33,098
It was used to hide and
transport Ava's dead body.
386
00:17:33,099 --> 00:17:35,142
Crime lab technicians
recovered a few strands
387
00:17:35,143 --> 00:17:36,560
of hair in the fibers.
388
00:17:36,561 --> 00:17:38,479
Matches your client's DNA...
389
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,273
Strong evidence that she's the
one who disposed of the body.
390
00:17:41,274 --> 00:17:43,108
Why did you throw
her into a dumpster?
391
00:17:43,109 --> 00:17:44,860
Why didn't you call her parents?
392
00:17:44,861 --> 00:17:46,403
Why didn't you call 911?
393
00:17:46,404 --> 00:17:48,113
Don't answer that.
394
00:17:48,114 --> 00:17:51,325
From where I sit, you didn't
want her to get any help.
395
00:17:51,326 --> 00:17:53,452
You didn't want the doctors
to see her branding.
396
00:17:53,453 --> 00:17:57,164
You knew that would
expose you and your cult.
397
00:17:57,165 --> 00:17:58,457
Who helped you carry the body?
398
00:17:58,458 --> 00:18:00,209
'Cause there was no way
that you lugged her body
399
00:18:00,210 --> 00:18:01,627
out of the loft by yourself.
400
00:18:01,628 --> 00:18:04,672
Ava Newhall got sick
from the branding.
401
00:18:04,673 --> 00:18:06,590
We don't deny that.
402
00:18:06,591 --> 00:18:09,510
But she was awake and alert
403
00:18:09,511 --> 00:18:12,346
and able to move and
make her own decisions.
404
00:18:12,347 --> 00:18:14,515
She could have called the
doctor or her parents.
405
00:18:14,516 --> 00:18:16,517
Tough to do when
you're tied down.
406
00:18:16,518 --> 00:18:18,143
This is absurd.
407
00:18:18,144 --> 00:18:20,771
There is no causal connection
between my client's
408
00:18:20,772 --> 00:18:22,731
alleged actions and Ava's death.
409
00:18:22,732 --> 00:18:24,442
Come on. We're
getting out of here.
410
00:18:26,236 --> 00:18:27,820
May I?
411
00:18:27,821 --> 00:18:29,863
Charge her.
412
00:18:29,864 --> 00:18:31,365
Charge her with what?
413
00:18:36,830 --> 00:18:39,373
The defendant is charged
with aggravated assault
414
00:18:39,374 --> 00:18:41,250
and illegal disposal
of a corpse.
415
00:18:41,251 --> 00:18:42,918
Are the People seeking bail?
416
00:18:42,919 --> 00:18:44,461
We're seeking 1 million cash.
417
00:18:44,462 --> 00:18:45,671
$1 million?
418
00:18:45,672 --> 00:18:48,716
At most she's facing
a few years probation.
419
00:18:48,717 --> 00:18:50,175
Point taken.
420
00:18:50,176 --> 00:18:52,219
Why should I impose
bail, Ms. Maroun?
421
00:18:52,220 --> 00:18:54,388
The defendant
branded another woman
422
00:18:54,389 --> 00:18:57,558
as part of an
initiation into a cult.
423
00:18:57,559 --> 00:18:59,768
The wound got infected
and Ava Newhall died.
424
00:18:59,769 --> 00:19:03,272
Then the defendant dumped
her dead body in the trash.
425
00:19:03,273 --> 00:19:05,899
Your Honor, my client
has no criminal record.
426
00:19:05,900 --> 00:19:07,067
She is not a flight risk.
427
00:19:07,068 --> 00:19:08,861
The people are
simply punishing her
428
00:19:08,862 --> 00:19:10,738
for her unconventional
lifestyle.
429
00:19:10,739 --> 00:19:12,364
These are trumped up charges
that will go nowhere.
430
00:19:12,365 --> 00:19:13,949
We're asking for personal.
431
00:19:13,950 --> 00:19:17,286
The defendant is currently
under investigation for murder.
432
00:19:17,287 --> 00:19:19,580
If the people wanna
charge murder,
433
00:19:19,581 --> 00:19:21,457
come back and I'll
reconsider the bail.
434
00:19:21,458 --> 00:19:24,627
Until then, I'm releasing
her on her own recognizance.
435
00:19:27,213 --> 00:19:29,757
Can I go? Am I free?
436
00:19:29,758 --> 00:19:31,216
Yes.
437
00:19:31,217 --> 00:19:32,635
Next case.
438
00:19:36,514 --> 00:19:38,307
What the hell happened in there?
439
00:19:38,308 --> 00:19:39,641
It's only the arraignment.
440
00:19:39,642 --> 00:19:41,268
We thought the judge
would hold her.
441
00:19:41,269 --> 00:19:43,270
Bail is only to assure
that she'll return.
442
00:19:43,271 --> 00:19:45,105
I don't need a lecture
from you on bail.
443
00:19:45,106 --> 00:19:46,440
I know how the system works.
444
00:19:46,441 --> 00:19:48,776
The woman who
killed my daughter,
445
00:19:48,777 --> 00:19:51,737
rolled her body up in a carpet,
and tossed her in a dumpster
446
00:19:51,738 --> 00:19:53,864
gets to go home to
her comfortable loft
447
00:19:53,865 --> 00:19:57,743
while our daughter lies in a
coffin in Woodland Cemetery.
448
00:20:02,582 --> 00:20:04,667
No. No! Stop. It's okay.
449
00:20:14,719 --> 00:20:16,839
Well, Jocelyn Davis just
waltzed out of the courtroom.
450
00:20:18,973 --> 00:20:22,059
She's probably out buying a
new branding iron as we speak.
451
00:20:22,060 --> 00:20:23,644
Don't you have her on
a couple of felonies?
452
00:20:23,645 --> 00:20:25,104
Mm-hmm.
453
00:20:25,105 --> 00:20:27,314
So chances are she'll end
up serving a year or two.
454
00:20:27,315 --> 00:20:29,817
That's not enough.
Not even close.
455
00:20:29,818 --> 00:20:32,486
Do you have any evidence to
suggest that Jocelyn Davis
456
00:20:32,487 --> 00:20:34,405
is responsible for the
death of this young woman?
457
00:20:34,406 --> 00:20:36,491
No, but that doesn't mean
she's not responsible.
458
00:20:39,369 --> 00:20:41,912
She's a cult leader, Nolan.
459
00:20:41,913 --> 00:20:45,332
She recruits young,
vulnerable women
460
00:20:45,333 --> 00:20:47,418
fresh out of college
just trying to figure out
461
00:20:47,419 --> 00:20:49,378
what to do with
their lives, then...
462
00:20:49,379 --> 00:20:51,672
Then she preys on
them, controls them,
463
00:20:51,673 --> 00:20:54,341
manipulates them,
steals their money.
464
00:20:54,342 --> 00:20:56,760
She's the reason a
22-year-old woman is dead.
465
00:20:56,761 --> 00:20:59,179
Fair enough, but you're
just saying things.
466
00:20:59,180 --> 00:21:00,639
There's no real evidence
to support this.
467
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:01,890
No. I know.
468
00:21:01,891 --> 00:21:03,684
If you want me to
prosecute it as a homicide,
469
00:21:03,685 --> 00:21:05,769
you need something concrete,
something that shows
470
00:21:05,770 --> 00:21:07,354
that Jocelyn prevented Ava
471
00:21:07,355 --> 00:21:09,064
from getting treatment
for her wounds.
472
00:21:09,065 --> 00:21:11,108
I tried, but none of
the women in the cult
473
00:21:11,109 --> 00:21:13,485
are willing to cooperate.
474
00:21:13,486 --> 00:21:17,114
Well, then work with Forensics.
475
00:21:17,115 --> 00:21:19,700
See if you can find
texts or voicemails
476
00:21:19,701 --> 00:21:23,162
that show that Jocelyn
exercised control over Ava,
477
00:21:23,163 --> 00:21:25,523
something that prevented her
from seeking medical attention.
478
00:21:28,918 --> 00:21:31,211
I've done a deep dive
into Jocelyn's devices.
479
00:21:31,212 --> 00:21:34,256
She didn't send any texts
or voicemails to Ava,
480
00:21:34,257 --> 00:21:37,968
but I did find some
disturbing videos.
481
00:21:37,969 --> 00:21:39,970
This is Sienna Barton's.
482
00:21:39,971 --> 00:21:43,932
Last year, I volunteered
at an emergency shelter
483
00:21:43,933 --> 00:21:46,727
for abused women and children.
484
00:21:52,567 --> 00:21:56,070
I stole money from one of
the women who lived there.
485
00:21:56,071 --> 00:22:00,074
$1,000, probably all the money
that she had in the world.
486
00:22:00,075 --> 00:22:01,825
When she realized the
money was missing,
487
00:22:01,826 --> 00:22:04,453
I blamed somebody else,
and that person got fired,
488
00:22:04,454 --> 00:22:07,247
and she was arrested.
489
00:22:07,248 --> 00:22:09,249
But I'm not a victim.
490
00:22:09,250 --> 00:22:10,417
I own what I did.
491
00:22:10,418 --> 00:22:15,464
Still, if my family...
492
00:22:15,465 --> 00:22:17,717
Or my
friends find out...
493
00:22:20,178 --> 00:22:21,845
I'd want to kill myself.
494
00:22:21,846 --> 00:22:23,473
I am so ashamed.
495
00:22:26,768 --> 00:22:29,436
I share this confession
as an expression of trust
496
00:22:29,437 --> 00:22:31,939
for my entry into Lodestar.
497
00:22:38,863 --> 00:22:41,615
That's why she didn't
wanna cooperate.
498
00:22:41,616 --> 00:22:43,117
She was afraid of being exposed.
499
00:22:43,118 --> 00:22:46,286
Looks that way.
500
00:22:46,287 --> 00:22:48,956
What about Ava? She
make any confessions?
501
00:22:48,957 --> 00:22:51,458
Yeah. Check it out.
502
00:22:51,459 --> 00:22:53,252
My mom is kind of famous.
503
00:22:53,253 --> 00:22:56,296
She's the anchor on
"Evening in America."
504
00:22:56,297 --> 00:22:59,466
She's... she's having an affair
505
00:22:59,467 --> 00:23:02,761
with one of the
political correspondents.
506
00:23:02,762 --> 00:23:04,930
If my dad knew,
he'd be heartbroken,
507
00:23:04,931 --> 00:23:07,975
and she'd lose her job for sure.
508
00:23:07,976 --> 00:23:10,853
But I trust you with
this confession.
509
00:23:10,854 --> 00:23:12,104
I am not a victim.
510
00:23:12,105 --> 00:23:15,733
I am on a path to
creative enlightenment.
511
00:23:15,734 --> 00:23:18,444
I am sharing this confession
as an expression of trust
512
00:23:18,445 --> 00:23:20,154
for my entry into Lodestar.
513
00:23:24,868 --> 00:23:27,661
The video confessions show
that Jocelyn had the power
514
00:23:27,662 --> 00:23:29,830
to exert tremendous
pressure over these women
515
00:23:29,831 --> 00:23:31,790
to get them to do
whatever she wanted.
516
00:23:31,791 --> 00:23:33,250
That's good news.
517
00:23:33,251 --> 00:23:34,626
Once they gave over
their confessions,
518
00:23:34,627 --> 00:23:36,128
the women couldn't walk away.
519
00:23:36,129 --> 00:23:38,505
They'd live in fear that their
secrets would be revealed.
520
00:23:38,506 --> 00:23:40,007
Took away their free will.
521
00:23:40,008 --> 00:23:43,510
And it explains why Ava
didn't seek medical treatment
522
00:23:43,511 --> 00:23:45,512
for her infection.
She felt threatened.
523
00:23:45,513 --> 00:23:48,015
And she wanted to
protect her mother.
524
00:23:48,016 --> 00:23:50,517
That makes it a kidnapping.
525
00:23:50,518 --> 00:23:52,061
Which is a felony.
526
00:23:52,062 --> 00:23:55,356
Since Ava died during the
course of that felony...
527
00:23:55,357 --> 00:23:56,482
It's a felony murder.
528
00:23:56,483 --> 00:23:58,693
There's our homicide case.
529
00:24:00,904 --> 00:24:03,364
We've elevated the
charges to felony murder.
530
00:24:03,365 --> 00:24:04,990
Thank you.
531
00:24:04,991 --> 00:24:07,534
And she's been rearrested
and held without bail.
532
00:24:07,535 --> 00:24:10,120
You have no idea how
much we appreciate that.
533
00:24:10,121 --> 00:24:11,622
We have to warn you.
534
00:24:11,623 --> 00:24:13,082
It's gonna come at a cost.
535
00:24:13,083 --> 00:24:14,708
What do you mean?
536
00:24:14,709 --> 00:24:18,545
There are things that are
gonna come out at trial.
537
00:24:18,546 --> 00:24:20,631
Things about Ava?
538
00:24:20,632 --> 00:24:22,299
Things about the family.
539
00:24:22,300 --> 00:24:24,551
We don't care. We just
want justice for Ava.
540
00:24:24,552 --> 00:24:26,720
But what kind of things?
541
00:24:26,721 --> 00:24:29,390
Ava shared some
secrets with the group.
542
00:24:29,391 --> 00:24:30,474
We don't have anything to hide.
543
00:24:30,475 --> 00:24:32,101
Right, honey?
544
00:24:38,608 --> 00:24:44,571
She was a free spirit,
so smart and creative.
545
00:24:44,572 --> 00:24:46,448
And she was a musician.
546
00:24:46,449 --> 00:24:49,034
She played the
guitar and she sang.
547
00:24:49,035 --> 00:24:51,745
We wanted her to go to
graduate school at Berkeley.
548
00:24:51,746 --> 00:24:53,539
She'd filled out
the applications,
549
00:24:53,540 --> 00:24:59,461
but, like most creatives,
she had her demons.
550
00:24:59,462 --> 00:25:03,007
She was going through
a period of self-doubt.
551
00:25:03,008 --> 00:25:06,135
Was it during this period
that she was introduced
552
00:25:06,136 --> 00:25:08,679
to the defendant, Jocelyn Davis?
553
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,973
Yes.
554
00:25:10,974 --> 00:25:15,978
She sucked the life out of
her, took away her autonomy,
555
00:25:15,979 --> 00:25:19,481
imposed harmful and
arbitrary rules.
556
00:25:19,482 --> 00:25:23,986
So the defendant exercised
control over Ava?
557
00:25:23,987 --> 00:25:26,780
Once, when I hadn't
seen Ava in a few weeks,
558
00:25:26,781 --> 00:25:29,575
I begged her to
meet me for lunch.
559
00:25:29,576 --> 00:25:33,704
And were you able to
see your own daughter?
560
00:25:33,705 --> 00:25:36,790
Ava said that she had
to check with Jocelyn.
561
00:25:36,791 --> 00:25:39,043
And Jocelyn told her
that she needed to focus
562
00:25:39,044 --> 00:25:40,794
on her creative enlightenment.
563
00:25:40,795 --> 00:25:45,591
So the defendant
controlled Ava's movements.
564
00:25:45,592 --> 00:25:48,260
She dictated who she could
and couldn't socialize with.
565
00:25:48,261 --> 00:25:49,386
Objection.
566
00:25:49,387 --> 00:25:51,472
Sustained.
567
00:25:51,473 --> 00:25:57,144
Are you aware of
a video confession
568
00:25:57,145 --> 00:25:59,480
Ava made to the defendant?
569
00:26:01,316 --> 00:26:03,859
I don't know how she
found out, but...
570
00:26:03,860 --> 00:26:06,111
Ava knew that I was having
an affair with a colleague,
571
00:26:06,112 --> 00:26:08,405
and she knew that if
it got out, my marriage
572
00:26:08,406 --> 00:26:11,992
and my career would
suffer tremendously.
573
00:26:21,544 --> 00:26:24,880
Was Ava protective of you?
574
00:26:24,881 --> 00:26:28,050
Of your marriage or your career?
575
00:26:28,051 --> 00:26:29,386
Very.
576
00:26:31,388 --> 00:26:33,597
I believe that Ava
went to her grave
577
00:26:33,598 --> 00:26:36,433
in order to protect my secret.
578
00:26:36,434 --> 00:26:38,018
Thank you.
579
00:26:38,019 --> 00:26:39,729
Nothing further.
580
00:26:46,069 --> 00:26:48,946
You can't prove that my
client used this information
581
00:26:48,947 --> 00:26:51,156
to threaten your
daughter, can you?
582
00:26:51,157 --> 00:26:53,158
Objection... Ms. Newhall
is simply a witness.
583
00:26:53,159 --> 00:26:55,494
Not her burden to prove
or disprove anything.
584
00:26:55,495 --> 00:26:57,287
Sustained.
585
00:26:57,288 --> 00:27:01,250
You can't testify my client
prevented your daughter
586
00:27:01,251 --> 00:27:05,337
from calling a doctor
or going to a hospital.
587
00:27:05,338 --> 00:27:07,297
No, but one can infer.
588
00:27:07,298 --> 00:27:12,511
Here, in a court of law, we
deal in facts and evidence,
589
00:27:12,512 --> 00:27:15,432
not what one can infer.
590
00:27:17,767 --> 00:27:20,561
Your Honor, I have nothing
further for this witness.
591
00:27:20,562 --> 00:27:22,187
I move for a directed verdict.
592
00:27:22,188 --> 00:27:24,648
Your Honor, the people
submit that there's...
593
00:27:24,649 --> 00:27:26,067
Hold it, Mr. Price.
594
00:27:27,819 --> 00:27:30,779
I'll see all counsels
in my chambers.
595
00:27:30,780 --> 00:27:33,157
The people have
no concrete proof
596
00:27:33,158 --> 00:27:35,409
that my client
committed a kidnapping.
597
00:27:35,410 --> 00:27:36,994
There is nothing to
show that Ava Newhall
598
00:27:36,995 --> 00:27:38,662
was being held against her will.
599
00:27:38,663 --> 00:27:40,289
Mr. Price, is that true?
600
00:27:40,290 --> 00:27:42,750
People are allowed to present
a circumstantial case.
601
00:27:42,751 --> 00:27:44,918
That may be, but
if you can't offer
602
00:27:44,919 --> 00:27:47,296
a direct causal connection
between the defendant
603
00:27:47,297 --> 00:27:51,050
and the victim's failure
to seek medical assistance,
604
00:27:51,051 --> 00:27:52,968
I'm prepared to issue
a directed verdict
605
00:27:52,969 --> 00:27:56,764
and find Jocelyn Davis not
guilty as a matter of law.
606
00:27:56,765 --> 00:27:58,390
That won't be necessary.
607
00:27:58,391 --> 00:28:01,268
We have a witness who will
tie all the elements together
608
00:28:01,269 --> 00:28:03,729
and establish that Ava
wasn't free to leave the loft
609
00:28:03,730 --> 00:28:04,897
and seek medical help.
610
00:28:04,898 --> 00:28:06,774
What are you talking about?
611
00:28:06,775 --> 00:28:09,485
Or better yet, who
are you talking about?
612
00:28:09,486 --> 00:28:10,652
Sienna Barton.
613
00:28:10,653 --> 00:28:12,821
Sienna B... no.
614
00:28:12,822 --> 00:28:16,159
Not a chance in hell
she's gonna cooperate.
615
00:28:27,879 --> 00:28:29,559
I told you before, I
don't want to testify.
616
00:28:30,632 --> 00:28:33,175
Sienna has been
through hell and back.
617
00:28:33,176 --> 00:28:36,345
That is exactly why I need her.
618
00:28:36,346 --> 00:28:39,682
She has to tell the jury
what she and Ava endured.
619
00:28:39,683 --> 00:28:41,975
We know all the
women in the cult
620
00:28:41,976 --> 00:28:45,979
were required to share
embarrassing things
621
00:28:45,980 --> 00:28:46,980
about their past.
622
00:28:49,359 --> 00:28:52,778
We watched your
video confession.
623
00:28:52,779 --> 00:28:55,739
I know it feels
like a huge deal.
624
00:28:55,740 --> 00:28:58,701
You did something shameful
when you worked at a shelter,
625
00:28:58,702 --> 00:29:00,369
but it's not the
end of the world.
626
00:29:00,370 --> 00:29:01,662
It is for me.
627
00:29:01,663 --> 00:29:03,288
Can't you people
just leave her alone?
628
00:29:03,289 --> 00:29:04,957
Sienna's testimony is critical.
629
00:29:04,958 --> 00:29:07,751
She can prove that Jocelyn
used the confessions
630
00:29:07,752 --> 00:29:09,962
to threaten women
into submission.
631
00:29:09,963 --> 00:29:12,089
And more specifically,
it'll prove why Ava
632
00:29:12,090 --> 00:29:15,926
was afraid to seek medical
help and ended up dead.
633
00:29:15,927 --> 00:29:16,969
I want to help you, but...
634
00:29:16,970 --> 00:29:18,637
Sienna, like it or not,
635
00:29:18,638 --> 00:29:21,765
you played a role in all this.
636
00:29:21,766 --> 00:29:24,685
You held Ava down
while she was branded.
637
00:29:24,686 --> 00:29:26,687
What exactly are you saying?
638
00:29:26,688 --> 00:29:29,273
She doesn't cooperate,
we will charge her
639
00:29:29,274 --> 00:29:30,733
with several felonies.
640
00:29:30,734 --> 00:29:33,235
Assault, kidnapping,
manslaughter.
641
00:29:33,236 --> 00:29:34,570
Are you crazy?
642
00:29:34,571 --> 00:29:37,114
She's the victim here.
643
00:29:37,115 --> 00:29:39,033
She was brainwashed and branded.
644
00:29:39,034 --> 00:29:41,535
Doesn't mean she didn't
commit a crime too.
645
00:29:41,536 --> 00:29:43,829
She could spend a
few years in prison.
646
00:29:43,830 --> 00:29:45,956
I know that you have suffered
647
00:29:45,957 --> 00:29:49,710
tremendous emotional
and physical pain.
648
00:29:49,711 --> 00:29:52,629
We wanna hold the person
who did this to you
649
00:29:52,630 --> 00:29:55,674
and who killed Ava responsible.
650
00:29:55,675 --> 00:29:58,510
And to do that,
we need your help.
651
00:29:58,511 --> 00:30:00,512
And if she cooperates?
652
00:30:00,513 --> 00:30:03,515
We'll immunize her. We'll
treat her as a victim.
653
00:30:03,516 --> 00:30:07,061
And she will go
back home with you.
654
00:30:07,062 --> 00:30:09,146
Be smart, Sienna.
655
00:30:09,147 --> 00:30:11,523
Your future depends on it.
656
00:30:19,199 --> 00:30:21,408
Did Jocelyn Davis prevent Ava
657
00:30:21,409 --> 00:30:23,660
from getting medical
treatment for her wound?
658
00:30:23,661 --> 00:30:24,745
Yes.
659
00:30:24,746 --> 00:30:27,539
Did she render any aid herself?
660
00:30:27,540 --> 00:30:30,918
She told me she put
bandages on the wound,
661
00:30:30,919 --> 00:30:32,336
gave her painkillers.
662
00:30:32,337 --> 00:30:35,506
Can you please tell the jury
663
00:30:35,507 --> 00:30:40,427
how the defendant convinced
Ava to stay in her room?
664
00:30:40,428 --> 00:30:42,930
Jocelyn threatened to
release her confession.
665
00:30:42,931 --> 00:30:44,515
Ava was scared.
666
00:30:44,516 --> 00:30:47,309
She wanted to get help, but she
felt like she had no choice.
667
00:30:47,310 --> 00:30:50,604
Jocelyn Davis held
all the confessions.
668
00:30:50,605 --> 00:30:54,149
She made all the decisions.
She was in charge.
669
00:30:54,150 --> 00:30:56,402
Yes. Well...
670
00:30:56,403 --> 00:30:58,862
Not exactly.
671
00:30:58,863 --> 00:31:01,198
Lodestar was really in charge.
672
00:31:01,199 --> 00:31:03,158
Lodestar?
673
00:31:03,159 --> 00:31:06,412
He's our supreme leader.
674
00:31:06,413 --> 00:31:07,872
Lodestar is a person?
675
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,541
Yes.
676
00:31:10,542 --> 00:31:13,085
We didn't meet him until
after we'd been branded,
677
00:31:13,086 --> 00:31:15,587
after we gave our confessions.
678
00:31:15,588 --> 00:31:16,839
Had Ava met him?
679
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,758
Not yet. She was going to.
680
00:31:19,759 --> 00:31:22,554
Did Lodestar have
influence over Jocelyn?
681
00:31:24,055 --> 00:31:27,558
He controlled all of
us, including Jocelyn.
682
00:31:27,559 --> 00:31:31,645
He set the rules, told
us where we could go,
683
00:31:31,646 --> 00:31:34,481
who we could socialize
with, what we could eat.
684
00:31:34,482 --> 00:31:37,527
He, um, liked us to be thin.
685
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,531
- And the money?
- He kept our money.
686
00:31:42,532 --> 00:31:44,033
What about the confessions?
687
00:31:44,034 --> 00:31:46,326
Jocelyn sent them to him.
688
00:31:46,327 --> 00:31:47,494
Anything else?
689
00:31:47,495 --> 00:31:49,455
There was the sex.
690
00:32:05,180 --> 00:32:09,475
The real head of the cult
is this guy, Zach Elfont.
691
00:32:09,476 --> 00:32:11,643
He gets Jocelyn Davis to control
692
00:32:11,644 --> 00:32:13,103
and manipulate the women,
693
00:32:13,104 --> 00:32:15,105
pressure them to donate
money to the cult,
694
00:32:15,106 --> 00:32:17,816
but it's really a guise
for this Zach Elfont guy
695
00:32:17,817 --> 00:32:21,320
to get rich and have
sex with young women.
696
00:32:21,321 --> 00:32:22,946
Sounds like the NXIVM cult.
697
00:32:22,947 --> 00:32:24,990
It's more like a sick copycat.
698
00:32:24,991 --> 00:32:27,576
No one at NXIVM died
from their branding.
699
00:32:27,577 --> 00:32:29,745
Why are we just learning
about Elfont now?
700
00:32:29,746 --> 00:32:31,580
His name never came up.
701
00:32:31,581 --> 00:32:33,707
Members of the cult have
obviously been protecting him.
702
00:32:33,708 --> 00:32:35,417
But he's the one
calling the shots?
703
00:32:35,418 --> 00:32:36,543
Yes.
704
00:32:36,544 --> 00:32:38,545
Jocelyn gives him
the confessions,
705
00:32:38,546 --> 00:32:40,381
and he uses them to coerce women
706
00:32:40,382 --> 00:32:42,383
into doing whatever he wants.
707
00:32:42,384 --> 00:32:44,635
So this whole thing
is about pleasing
708
00:32:44,636 --> 00:32:46,804
a sociopathic narcissist?
709
00:32:46,805 --> 00:32:49,264
I wanna charge Elfont
with felony murder.
710
00:32:49,265 --> 00:32:50,557
What's stopping you?
711
00:32:50,558 --> 00:32:52,726
Sienna can't testify about
712
00:32:52,727 --> 00:32:54,311
his involvement
with Ava's death.
713
00:32:54,312 --> 00:32:56,647
I can't prove that
without Jocelyn.
714
00:32:56,648 --> 00:32:58,608
Then try to flip Jocelyn.
715
00:33:01,194 --> 00:33:03,529
We'd like your cooperation.
716
00:33:03,530 --> 00:33:05,114
And in exchange?
717
00:33:05,115 --> 00:33:07,157
We are prepared to
offer full immunity,
718
00:33:07,158 --> 00:33:09,035
dismiss all charges.
719
00:33:13,248 --> 00:33:15,249
I can't.
720
00:33:15,250 --> 00:33:17,085
I can't turn on Lodestar.
721
00:33:19,963 --> 00:33:22,631
We just want you to tell the
truth about what happened.
722
00:33:22,632 --> 00:33:26,468
The truth is, he's a great guy.
723
00:33:26,469 --> 00:33:29,096
I'd be nothing without him.
724
00:33:29,097 --> 00:33:31,890
I was a 16-year-old punk
when I met Lodestar.
725
00:33:31,891 --> 00:33:32,933
16?
726
00:33:32,934 --> 00:33:34,727
Did he have sex with
you at that age?
727
00:33:34,728 --> 00:33:36,603
That's not important.
728
00:33:36,604 --> 00:33:38,605
You were a minor.
729
00:33:38,606 --> 00:33:43,235
He exerted tremendous
influence over you.
730
00:33:43,236 --> 00:33:45,070
Lodestar saved me.
731
00:33:45,071 --> 00:33:48,115
I grew up with an
abusive stepfather.
732
00:33:48,116 --> 00:33:49,616
I ran away.
733
00:33:49,617 --> 00:33:52,453
I started doing drugs, stealing.
734
00:33:52,454 --> 00:33:53,787
And then I met him.
735
00:33:53,788 --> 00:33:55,664
And he took advantage of you.
736
00:33:58,752 --> 00:34:00,794
I'm not a victim.
737
00:34:00,795 --> 00:34:02,171
He taught me to
stand up for myself,
738
00:34:02,172 --> 00:34:03,172
and that's what I'm doing.
739
00:34:03,173 --> 00:34:04,631
Don't you hear the irony?
740
00:34:04,632 --> 00:34:07,634
He has trained you to believe
that you're not a victim.
741
00:34:07,635 --> 00:34:12,765
And all the while, he's
been victimizing you.
742
00:34:12,766 --> 00:34:15,142
You're facing life in
prison because of him.
743
00:34:15,143 --> 00:34:18,687
Jocelyn, they are
offering a fair deal.
744
00:34:18,688 --> 00:34:22,024
Think about it.
Protect yourself.
745
00:34:28,823 --> 00:34:31,408
We are going to get him
746
00:34:31,409 --> 00:34:33,536
with or without you.
747
00:34:38,041 --> 00:34:40,209
You'll never get
anywhere in your journey
748
00:34:40,210 --> 00:34:42,961
until you stop complaining
about what the world owes you.
749
00:34:42,962 --> 00:34:45,756
The world owes you nothing.
750
00:34:45,757 --> 00:34:47,926
You have to stop
acting like victims.
751
00:34:49,552 --> 00:34:51,054
Excuse me, Lodestar.
752
00:34:53,682 --> 00:34:55,849
- Can I help you?
- We'll see about that. NYPD.
753
00:34:55,850 --> 00:34:57,101
Take your hands
out of your pocket.
754
00:34:57,102 --> 00:34:58,644
Put your hands behind your back.
755
00:34:58,645 --> 00:35:00,854
Okay, hold on.
What are you doing?
756
00:35:00,855 --> 00:35:04,233
We're taking you on your own
journey to enlightenment.
757
00:35:05,819 --> 00:35:07,569
- He hasn't done anything.
- Stop!
758
00:35:07,570 --> 00:35:09,030
He hasn't done anything wrong.
759
00:35:19,666 --> 00:35:21,146
We've developed a
strong homicide case
760
00:35:22,210 --> 00:35:24,253
against you, Mr. Elfont.
761
00:35:24,254 --> 00:35:26,255
Jocelyn called me from the jail.
762
00:35:26,256 --> 00:35:28,090
She said you tried
to pressure her.
763
00:35:28,091 --> 00:35:29,451
She's not gonna
testify against me.
764
00:35:31,011 --> 00:35:32,220
We don't need her testimony.
765
00:35:34,431 --> 00:35:37,891
Forensic analysis of your
phone shows that Jocelyn texted
766
00:35:37,892 --> 00:35:40,269
Ava's confession to you.
767
00:35:40,270 --> 00:35:43,105
I never asked her to
send me those things.
768
00:35:43,106 --> 00:35:45,065
The woman has an unhealthy
obsession with me.
769
00:35:45,066 --> 00:35:46,650
She was jealous of Ava.
770
00:35:46,651 --> 00:35:47,735
Mm-hmm.
771
00:35:47,736 --> 00:35:51,238
We also have GPS and
surveillance video
772
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,950
of your car outside the
loft and near the dumpster
773
00:35:54,951 --> 00:35:56,744
around the time that Ava died.
774
00:35:56,745 --> 00:35:59,246
Jocelyn borrowed my
car all the time.
775
00:35:59,247 --> 00:36:01,790
Bank records show that
Jocelyn sent you all the money
776
00:36:01,791 --> 00:36:03,167
she collected from the women.
777
00:36:03,168 --> 00:36:05,377
I run a business.
778
00:36:05,378 --> 00:36:07,254
I help women who wanna
tap into their creativity.
779
00:36:07,255 --> 00:36:08,881
Jocelyn worked for me.
780
00:36:08,882 --> 00:36:10,841
She helped to collect tuition.
781
00:36:10,842 --> 00:36:16,764
And oh, by the way, I
slept with some of them.
782
00:36:16,765 --> 00:36:19,308
Nothing illegal about that.
783
00:36:19,309 --> 00:36:21,352
All this stuff about
branding and confessions
784
00:36:21,353 --> 00:36:24,772
and cults, it's insane.
785
00:36:24,773 --> 00:36:26,231
I had nothing to do with it.
786
00:36:36,076 --> 00:36:38,535
Elfont has an answer
for everything.
787
00:36:38,536 --> 00:36:42,498
I need Jocelyn to refute the
false narrative he's created.
788
00:36:42,499 --> 00:36:44,666
If you can't get
her to cooperate...
789
00:36:44,667 --> 00:36:46,752
There's a good chance he skates.
790
00:36:46,753 --> 00:36:48,796
Where are you with
Jocelyn's trial?
791
00:36:48,797 --> 00:36:50,255
It's winding down.
792
00:36:50,256 --> 00:36:53,175
Are you going to
get a conviction?
793
00:36:53,176 --> 00:36:56,136
I believe I am.
794
00:36:56,137 --> 00:36:59,014
Not exactly cause for despair.
795
00:36:59,015 --> 00:37:01,684
Let's not forget
she's responsible
796
00:37:01,685 --> 00:37:03,185
for Ava Newhall's death.
797
00:37:03,186 --> 00:37:05,187
Elfont was behind it all.
798
00:37:05,188 --> 00:37:08,148
He met her when
she was a teenager.
799
00:37:08,149 --> 00:37:09,400
He groomed her for sex.
800
00:37:09,401 --> 00:37:12,194
He manipulated her
into doing his bidding.
801
00:37:12,195 --> 00:37:16,407
All you can do is
offer her a fair deal.
802
00:37:16,408 --> 00:37:18,409
The rest is up to her.
803
00:37:18,410 --> 00:37:20,328
You're not her lawyer.
804
00:37:25,542 --> 00:37:27,042
I must say, I was pleased
805
00:37:27,043 --> 00:37:29,837
to receive your call last night.
806
00:37:29,838 --> 00:37:32,548
Well, I was glad too.
807
00:37:32,549 --> 00:37:35,092
Jocelyn and I have
done a lot of talking,
808
00:37:35,093 --> 00:37:38,929
and she does see the importance
of protecting herself here.
809
00:37:38,930 --> 00:37:40,431
That true?
810
00:37:40,432 --> 00:37:42,766
You willing to
testify against him?
811
00:37:42,767 --> 00:37:46,270
Yes. Absolutely.
812
00:37:46,271 --> 00:37:49,107
I want him to pay for what
he did to those girls.
813
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,318
And for what he did to me.
814
00:37:55,572 --> 00:38:00,117
I'm not a bad
person, Mr. Price.
815
00:38:00,118 --> 00:38:01,910
I swear.
816
00:38:01,911 --> 00:38:03,163
I just...
817
00:38:04,998 --> 00:38:06,791
I lost my way.
818
00:38:09,961 --> 00:38:14,298
Those things you said about
manifesting your future,
819
00:38:14,299 --> 00:38:19,094
you're doing that...
Right here, right now.
820
00:38:19,095 --> 00:38:20,929
So good for you.
821
00:38:27,812 --> 00:38:30,898
Sam.
822
00:38:30,899 --> 00:38:32,274
Good news.
823
00:38:32,275 --> 00:38:34,109
Jocelyn's lawyer managed
to talk sense into her.
824
00:38:34,110 --> 00:38:35,569
She has agreed to cooperate.
825
00:38:35,570 --> 00:38:37,112
It's too late.
826
00:38:37,113 --> 00:38:40,074
- What do you mean?
- Elfont is dead.
827
00:38:40,075 --> 00:38:41,283
He's dead?
828
00:38:41,284 --> 00:38:43,702
Lodestar mouthed off
to the wrong guy.
829
00:38:43,703 --> 00:38:46,664
Someone beat him to death in
his cell about an hour ago.
830
00:38:48,375 --> 00:38:49,834
You're prepared to
do your closing?
831
00:38:51,836 --> 00:38:54,880
What, you want me to pull
Jocelyn's plea offer?
832
00:38:54,881 --> 00:38:57,174
We don't need her
testimony anymore.
833
00:38:57,175 --> 00:38:59,885
That doesn't change the fact
that she's still a victim.
834
00:38:59,886 --> 00:39:01,387
She was a victim.
835
00:39:01,388 --> 00:39:04,640
At some point, she
became a victimizer.
836
00:39:04,641 --> 00:39:07,768
She recruited dozens
of unsuspecting women,
837
00:39:07,769 --> 00:39:11,313
took their money, groomed
them for sex with this guy.
838
00:39:11,314 --> 00:39:14,525
None of this would have
happened without Elfont.
839
00:39:14,526 --> 00:39:18,237
She killed someone. She's
gotta answer to that.
840
00:39:18,238 --> 00:39:19,822
Would we be having
this conversation
841
00:39:19,823 --> 00:39:21,657
if Jocelyn was a man?
842
00:39:24,911 --> 00:39:28,288
- I thought we had a deal.
- Circumstances changed.
843
00:39:28,289 --> 00:39:29,832
But she was willing
to cooperate.
844
00:39:29,833 --> 00:39:32,626
It's not her fault
that Elfont is dead.
845
00:39:32,627 --> 00:39:34,336
We made her a fair offer.
846
00:39:34,337 --> 00:39:35,921
She waited too long to accept.
847
00:39:35,922 --> 00:39:39,550
You yourself admitted
that she was a victim.
848
00:39:39,551 --> 00:39:44,013
You pleaded with me to
get her to cooperate.
849
00:39:44,014 --> 00:39:46,640
Can we at least come to
some kind of a compromise?
850
00:39:46,641 --> 00:39:48,559
We both know she doesn't deserve
851
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,896
to spend the rest of
her life in prison.
852
00:39:55,859 --> 00:39:58,695
I understand both parties
have reached an agreement.
853
00:40:01,906 --> 00:40:03,991
My client would like to
change her plea to guilty.
854
00:40:03,992 --> 00:40:06,201
Is that true, Ms. Davis?
855
00:40:06,202 --> 00:40:09,204
Yes.
856
00:40:09,205 --> 00:40:13,208
I just wanna say to
the Newhall family,
857
00:40:13,209 --> 00:40:15,502
I'm so sorry.
858
00:40:15,503 --> 00:40:18,881
I really liked Ava.
859
00:40:18,882 --> 00:40:21,216
I wish I had never gotten
involved in Lodestar,
860
00:40:21,217 --> 00:40:22,802
that I'd never met Zach.
861
00:40:24,763 --> 00:40:27,139
I used to think I was
lucky to know him,
862
00:40:27,140 --> 00:40:29,516
to be in his orbit,
863
00:40:29,517 --> 00:40:32,102
but he used me.
864
00:40:32,103 --> 00:40:33,812
He used all of us.
865
00:40:37,650 --> 00:40:39,401
Thank you, Ms. Davis.
866
00:40:39,402 --> 00:40:42,780
I'll accept your plea as
knowing and voluntary.
867
00:40:42,781 --> 00:40:44,740
Do the people move
for sentencing?
868
00:40:44,741 --> 00:40:47,451
- We do.
- What's your recommendation?
869
00:40:47,452 --> 00:40:49,119
We have an agreed-upon
recommendation
870
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,288
of 12 years in state prison.
871
00:40:51,289 --> 00:40:53,707
The court hereby sentences you
872
00:40:53,708 --> 00:40:56,210
to serve 12 years in
the state penitentiary.
873
00:41:00,131 --> 00:41:01,340
We're adjourned.
874
00:41:14,312 --> 00:41:16,939
12 years.
875
00:41:16,940 --> 00:41:19,066
If we give a free
pass to everyone
876
00:41:19,067 --> 00:41:20,484
who's ever been victimized,
877
00:41:20,485 --> 00:41:23,487
we'll have to open
the prison gates.64072
