[Music continues]

Whoo!

[Music continues]

[Clears throat]

[Exhales]

[Sighs]

You okay?

Mm.. Thanks.

I-I know you, right?

We had a class together?

Oh, actually, we've had, like, five classes together.

I better get back in.

- Uh.. - Whoa.

I feel so dizzy.

- Come on. Let's get you home. - I..

Thanks for the ride.

[Instrumental music]

[Groans]

It has been three days since the disappearance of Amy Flynn.

Friends and family have launched an all-out search

for the 21-year-old senior.

'Last night, they gathered to pray for Amy's safe return.'

'Amy's mother, Mary Flynn, had this message'

'for her missing daughter.'

Amy, if you can hear me

we love you, baby.

Try to be strong.

And I just want to say to whoever did this..

Please, please just let our daughter come home.

Police have focused their investigation

on this man, Derrick adler.

Sources say Amy was last seen

leaving a campus party with adler.

Officers have searched the 21-year-old suspect's car

but are not saying what they found.

[Indistinct radio chatter]

Jackpot. Branch, look at this.

He's got over a hundred shots here.

In class, the gym, buying groceries..

He's been stalking this girl.

He's got dates, times.. He catalogs every shot.

Arrest him. This is the guy. Derrick adler.

There you are.

I'm not late, Steve. It's 8:15.

I need you to clear your calendar.

I can't, I have a hearing at 10:00.

Not anymore. I just got a call from detective branch.

He's working the Amy Flynn case.

Please tell me they found her.

Not yet, but they just made an arrest.

Apparently, she was being stalked.

Maureen, what do we know?

Derrick adler grew up four blocks from Amy.

This isn't an overnight obsession.

The police say he's been secretly hooked on her

ever since they were in grade school.

Does he have any priors?

Nothing. He's invisible.

Adler's one of those people you never even notice.

Yeah, until he decides to kidnap your daughter.

What about Amy? What's her story?

She's the kind of girl you want your daughter to grow up to be.

She did nothing to deserve this.

This one's all over the news

which means the da's all over me.

He'll want progress reports from our department

so, keep me informed.

I'll get someone to cover your 10 o'clock hearing.

Thanks, Maureen.

Steve, when you free up I wanna

talk to you about how to handle

a drunk-driving fatality.

You got it.

Annabeth, this is big time.

The media, the da

half the planet is watching on this.

Do the police have any idea where she is?

None. Look, you know how this works.

The chances of finding a kidnap victim

drop significantly after the first 48 hours.

- This girl's been gone for 72. - Got it.

We could end up searching for months, digging up fields

draining lakes.

I'll call you from the precinct.

Annabeth, if we have to search

that girl is dead.

We need to know where she is now.

You need to get a confession.

[Indistinct chatter]

Ms. Chase, can you give us any new developments

on the Flynn case? Anything at all?

Can you tell us the latest?

He's been stalking her for over a year.

- Any statements so far? - He denies it.

Said he took her home, even walked her to the door.

- Can we verify that? - Negative.

Pulled the security feed from the dorm.

He was never anywhere near that building.

So he's lying.

And changing his behavior.

The day after Amy disappeared

he suddenly missed all his classes.

Which may give you probable cause to arrest

but I need proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

I know.

Look, I know it's all circumstantial

but I'm telling you, he's holding that girl.

You think she's alive?

I know she is.

I've been in special victims for seven years.

I know the type.

No roommate, no girlfriend.

We have evidence of extreme obsession

with no prior record of violence.

Every killer has a first time.

Maybe.

Look at this.

"The collector."

"A tale of obsessive love."

We found it in his apartment.

It's the story of an ordinary guy who kidnaps a girl

not because he wants to hurt her

he wants to possess her.

Make her fall in love with him.

Put him in interrogation.

(Maureen) 'Steve, we have a problem.'

I picked up a vehicular last night

a drunk driver hit a young father

then crashed his car into a tree.

- The victim died. - How's the driver?

He was taken to the hospital, still unconscious.

Okay, so all you need to do is get a blood test

to prove that the driver was drunk.

That's the problem.

I sent detective margate to get the tests.

He never did it.

By the time I realized, it was too late.

The alcohol had metabolized in the driver's system.

We lost our only evidence in a homicide.

I don't get it. Bill margate is a great detective.

I didn't get it either until I followed up on the driver.

His name is detective Norman Reed.

The driver was a cop.

Sixteen years on the force.

I think margate didn't get the test on purpose.

He knew the alcohol would metabolize.

He obstructed justice to save a fellow cop.

Okay, let's not jump the gun.

Bring him in, let him tell us what happened.

(Annabeth) Mr. and Mrs. Flynn.

I'm annabeth chase.

I'm the deputy prosecuting attorney.

- What's happening? - Did you find Amy?

- Do you know where she is? - We're doing all we can.

The police made an arrest this morning.

- Derrick adler? - Yes.

We heard on the news that he grew up in our neighborhood.

I checked Amy's yearbooks, they've been

in school together since they were kids

but I never heard her mention him.

- What's he being charged with? - Nothing yet.

The police arrested him because they think he took Amy.

I think they're right.

But it's my job to decide if there's enough

to file formal charges, and right now, we don't have much.

I'm hoping that once we question Derrick...

- How long will that take? - Can't be sure.

But if he knows where Amy is

we need to break him in the next eight hours.

If we push him any longer than that

a court might find that he was coerced.

He took our daughter. I don't give a damn about his rights.

Please, just find Amy.

[Sobbing]

I told you. I drove her home.

That's a lie, Derrick.

You see this?

We pulled the security tape.

Shows the whole front of the building.

Proves you were never there.

Nah, I don't believe you.

Y-You're making that up.

I'm making it up?

What about your computer?

Pictures of Amy at school, pictures of Amy at the gym.

You were stalking this woman.

Look at me! It's over.

You give us dates, times.

Now, I've been doing this a long time.

I know extreme obsession when I see it.

It's not a crime to take pictures!

We have more than pictures, Derrick.

Why was her sweater still in your car?

Why did you miss classes the next day?

That doesn't wash.

Someone else kidnaps her

on the night you give her the ride home?

A woman you've been stalking for the last year?

I wouldn't hurt her!

- I-I don't know where she is. - Look at those.

(George) 'Now, I-I got to say, not smart'

'leaving those around your place.'

"the collector. The perfect victim.."

Now, why would an innocent guy like you

be reading about abducting women?

They're just books.

They're more than just books, Derrick.

'You were studying up. You were learning the trade.'

now, we put those books in front of a jury..

You're done.

That's it, he wants to tell us.

It's not too late.

[Suspense music]

I-I want..

This is it, he's breaking.

I want a lawyer.

[Sighs]

- He's playing games. - I thought we had him.

Son of a bitch. He knows we can't question him now.

He's guilty. Amy Flynn is alive.

"I wouldn't hurt her." That's what he said.

Not "I didn't hurt her," or "I didn't kill her."

And he never made any reference to a body.

He said he didn't know where she is.

I agree, but he gave us nothing.

Keep him here. I'll be right back.

It's over. Where you going?

To talk to Amy's parents.

It's not over until they say it is.

There she is. Don't get too close, folks.

A shark in her natural habitat.

Close the door.

"Hi, Billy. How are you? Good, thanks.

You?"

Tell me about Norman Reed.

- What about him? - You know what I'm asking.

I instructed you to get a blood test.

You did? Uh, I don't remember that.

You deliberately ignored my order.

You obstructed justice to protect another cop.

Whoa. Take it easy.

- I made a mistake. - You don't make mistakes.

I want the truth, Billy.

You're not just a cop.

You are probably the best cop I know.

And, I think, after all these years

I deserve a straight answer.

On the record..

I made a mistake.

Off the record..

Norman Reed's a friend.

- A good detective. - Damn it, Billy.

He's three months away from retirement. He's got a family.

- So you obstructed justice? - He's a friend, Maureen.

He gave his life for the department.

He put a lot of bad people away.

What good's it going to do to lock him up?

It's not going to bring the victim back.

You're a cop. You enforce the law.

You don't pick and choose who it applies to.

N-Now you're the one who's not being straight.

We make judgment calls, that's the job.

Sometimes you look extra hard, sometimes..

You look the other way.

Not me.

A man is dead, Billy.

'He's dead, and you let his killer go.'

now you look me in the eye and tell me

that was part of the job.

What are you going to do?

Arrest me?

Maureen, look, it's me, Billy.

Half the cases you ever won, we won together.

Don't do this.

Mr. Adler asked for a lawyer.

Then don't you have to give him one?

Not exactly.

The law doesn't guarantee him counsel.

We are allowed to deny his request.

But nothing he says, from now on

can ever be used against him.

Then what's the point?

The point is to find your daughter.

We can keep going, but if he tells us where Amy is

his confession can never be used at trial.

- Jury will never know about it. - I see.

We would also lose any evidence he leads us to.

Nothing we find would be admissible at trial.

Well, we just want our daughter back.

I know, but I need you to understand the risk.

If we find Amy alive

I think a court will let her testify to what happened.

So, you could still make a case?

Yes, the risk is..

In the other possibility.

But you said you think she's alive.

- I can't promise that. - Oh, my god.

If Amy is... Dead

the case will be destroyed.

Any evidence we find, hair, fibers, blood

nothing will be admissible.

And the man who killed your daughter will probably go free.

Why.. You want us to decide?

Yes.

Well, you think you could find her

without getting a confession?

I don't know.

Right now, the police are trying

but the search could take weeks.

Months, even.

What if Amy's hurt, what if..

She has no food or water?

Well, what would you do?

I also have a daughter.

And if anything ever happened to her

I would do whatever it took to find her alive.

Then do it.

We trust you.

- We're not stopping. - What do you mean?

- He asked for a lawyer. - No problem.

I won't use his statement against him.

Whoa, wait a second

you may be destroying the case.

This case isn't the priority.

Finding that girl is.

If Amy's not alive, we're gonna need clean evidence

not related to the confession.

Tell your men to focus their work

on the days before and after the crime.

Maybe we should get this cleared first.

No, there's no time for that. We need to get in there now.

Okay. I'll do it myself.

The troubling land Mark in the disappearance

of college student Amy Flynn

as the search now enters its 75th hour.

He's all yours.

Thanks.

Who are you?

Deputy prosecuting attorney chase.

I'm handling your case.

Yeah, well, you need to talk to your people

because I asked for a lawyer.

Did you hear me? I want an attorney.

I heard you.

What you don't seem to realize

is that I don't care.

You're not getting a lawyer.

You're not getting anything.

In fact, you're not leaving this room

until you tell us where to find Amy Flynn.

- You can't do that. - Look around, Derrick.

You see anyone trying to stop me?

Hey! Detective! Get me out of here!

Are you finished?

- You want to arrest him? - I don't have a choice.

He basically admitted everything.

This is Billy margate.

He's a highly respected detective.

Meaning what? He can break the law?

Of course not.

But I don't think it's wrong to consider

the consequences here.

Like margate has a lot of friends.

If we arrest him, the police could retaliate

stop showing up for court, ignore our orders.

- They won't do that. - Some of them will.

'The da is up for re-election.'

the police are a critical support base.

Are we really prepared to alienate our key supporters?

- I don't believe this. - Just hear me out.

Arresting margate will cause trouble.

Hearings, headlines..

We could end up in a battle with the very people

'we need behind us.'

we could be putting this entire office in danger.

I thought this office was here to seek justice.

Then, in the interest of justice, let me ask..

Billy margate is the lead detective

on three pending murder cases.

'If we arrest him, we need to disclose that fact.'

his credibility will be destroyed.

Are we really prepared to risk putting three killers

'back on the street for this?'

don't answer me now.

Just think about it.

Whatever you decide

I'll back you up.

Maureen.

I need a few minutes, please.

Sorry, it's about your drunk driving case.

The victim's family's here to see you.

So, what is this, Derrick

revenge?

You went to school with Amy for all those years

and she never even knew who you were.

Look at this.

Is there a problem?

It's the ink from the fingerprints.

I need to wash my hands.

I can help you with that.

But first, you need to help me. I'm trying to understand...

Look, you don't know anything about me.

Here's what I know.

If Amy Flynn dies because you sat here inspecting your nails

I won't rest until you get the death penalty.

'Are you ready for that?'

are you willing to risk execution?

I told you. I wouldn't hurt her.

You are hurting her. She's out there alone.

- That's your fault, not mine. - Are you kidding?

You're holding her hostage and I'm the one responsible?

Yes!

She could be dying, as we speak.

I wouldn't do that!

Look.

I love her, okay?

You have the pictures.

You know that already.

I went to the precinct.

They told me the driver who killed my husband

was a detective.

Yes.

They won't give me any more information.

They keep insisting this was an accident.

- Mrs. Hayes... - It doesn't make sense.

I saw the intersection. The lighting is fine..

My husband was in the crosswalk.

Maybe the driver was drinking or fell asleep at the wheel.

As of now, I don't have any evidence of that.

I'm sorry.

I know I'm a mess.

I just can't believe he's gone.

If you find anything, will you please call me?

Of course.

I'll be in touch with you as soon as I can.

(Annabeth) 'I can't get through to him.'

- we don't have enough leverage. - What am I supposed to do?

I've been pushing him for the last three hours.

Nothing. He's enjoying himself.

Look at him. He's always been awkward, invisible.

For once, he has all the power. He's getting what he wants.

- That's it. - What?

You just said it. Give him what he wants.

I don't understand.

Maybe the answer isn't to keep pushing him.

Maybe the answer is to stop pushing him.

- Okay, Derrick, you win. - What?

It's over. You want a lawyer.

'I'll have the court arrange for counsel.'

don't bother. I'll get my own as soon as I get out of here.

Oh, you're not going anywhere.

Derrick adler, you're being charged

with the abduction of Amy Flynn.

You'll get a lawyer for your arraignment in 72 hours.

You don't have enough to charge me.

Maybe, maybe not.

I say we let the judge decide.

Of course, legally, I don't have to produce you

in court for another three days.

- Wait! - I'm done waiting.

- You're making a mistake. - Get him out of here.

Would you just, would you listen to me a second?

I'm listening.

If I don't get out of here, Amy will die, do you get that?

- So she is alive. - Yes!

But she won't survive another three days on her own.

Then you have a decision to make.

You tell us where she is

or you let her die.

No, you're bluffing.

I have nothing to lose.

Detective.

You're killing her!

No, you are. You say you love her, Derrick.

How much? Are you ready to kill her?

Are you willing to be the reason she died?

Okay. Okay.

There's a place up north about two miles from the highway.

[Sirens wailing]

(Male #1) This is it! Get the bolt cutters!

(Male #2) Got it! Let's move.

There it is!

Got it!

Open it up!

Come on!

We got her. Get a medic!

Coming in!

I got a pulse! She's alive!

She's in here.

[Indistinct radio chatter]

[Indistinct chatter]

Nice work, counselor.

My work just started.

[Sighs]

A harrowing end to the search for missing coed Amy Flynn.

She was found here, alive

'locked in this storage facility for days.'

is it true?

- What? - You know what.

You questioned Eric adler

after he requested a lawyer.

- Yes. - Annabeth...

I had to, Steve. It was the only way to find her alive.

I just got a call from detective branch's supervisor.

They have Derrick's prints at the scene.

His skin cells under Amy's fingernails.

- They have hair, saliva. - I know.

It's all inadmissible.

Derrick adler abducted that girl and he's about to be a free man!

Amy Flynn is alive, she's in a hospital right now

not in some storage locker we never would have found.

And thank god for that.

I did what was necessary, Steve.

- Then why didn't you call me? - I didn't have time.

You couldn't find three minutes?

I was afraid to, okay?

You want the truth. Fine.

I didn't ask for your permission

because I wasn't sure you would give it to me.

You're right.

I wouldn't gamble my entire case

without knowing the victim was alive.

- I took a risk. - You can't just take a risk!

You and Maureen both need to learn

that you are not alone here.

'You work for this office.'

our boss is an elected official

that means we discuss what we do.

If that girl had died, this would be a scandal.

Every paper in the country would be printing

how this office set a killer free.

Your career would be over.

- My career as a supervisor... - I'm sorry!

I thought she was alive and I wasn't about

to leave her out there because I was worried

about our careers!

I should have called.

But I did not destroy the case.

We still have Amy's testimony.

I need witnesses who saw the impact.

No, I'm trying to prove he was drunk.

Ask the bartender how many drinks he had.

Okay, thank you.

Everything okay?

In this office? Never.

[Chuckles]

Can I help you?

Inspector Gordon tuft.

Internal affairs.

Maureen Scofield.

So..

Have you had an affair with anyone internal?

That's just a joke. Sorry.

Some people get a little tense when ia comes around.

Breaks the ice.

Right, well

just conducting a routine inquiry

as I'm sure you're aware.

Detective Norman Reed was involved

in a fatal car accident.

Yes.

Taking a look at the file, and I just kept bumping up

on the same question.

Why didn't you give a blood test to detective Reed?

I'm sorry.

The da has a strict policy on commenting on police matters.

If you contact our integrity bureau

I'm sure they can schedule an appointment.

Hang on. I'll tell you what.

Look, I don't like red tape

so why don't we just cut through it?

Detective Reed has his disciplinary hearing tomorrow.

This is a subpoena.

You don't want to answer me here

you can show up there and do it under oath.

[Instrumental music]

[Indistinct pa announcement]

Amy?

I'm annabeth chase.

I'm a prosecutor.

You're the one who found me.

I had a lot of help with that.

Amy, I know you're tired

but I need you to tell me what you remember.

I went to the party.

I got dizzy, so I went outside.

Is that where you met Derrick?

He gave me some water.

Told me he'd drive me home.

I just felt really sick.

Amy, look at me.

Is Derrick the man who kidnapped you?

Please tell me what happened.

I can't.

We, we were walking to the car and..

Things started to spin.

I think there was something in the water

I must have blacked out.

I don't remember where he took me.

It was dark and, um..

I could feel somebody's breath on me.

I..

I knew somebody was touching me.

Did you see his face?

Do you remember his voice?

No. I, I was trying to think.

I was trying to concentrate, but I couldn't.

Okay. It's okay.

I can't put her on the stand.

She's all we have, we banked everything on this.

He drugged her.

We have nothing.

- When's the hearing? - It starts tomorrow.

Fine.

It doesn't sound fine.

It sounds like you're disappointed.

I said I would support your decision.

You call this support?

- You're upset. - I'm not upset.

- Yes, you are. - No, I'm not!

I'm not your father. I'm not disappointed in you.

I'm concerned.

As a prosecutor, as an executive

who doesn't want to see his staff

in a political war with the police.

Since when do politics override justice?

Justice for who? Your victim's family?

What about the victims in those murder cases?

What if we lose the next election?

Can't do much justice when you're out of a job.

Are you ordering me not to testify?

No, I'm not ordering you to do anything.

I'm asking you to see yourself.

'You launch yourself into things.'

you're never afraid of anything.

The problem is, Maureen, sometimes

there are things to be afraid of.

In this job, doing the right thing

can be excruciating.

It can force you to destroy a friend

put your career on the line.

It's hard.

And the fact that you find it so easy..

I never said it was easy.

[Instrumental music]

[Sighs]

Hey, why don't you take a break?

I can't.

Come on. You've been at it for hours.

Derrick adler's arraignment is coming up.

I need evidence that's not tainted by the confession.

Baby, you saved that girl's life, okay?

If it wasn't for you, they'd still be out there searching.

It's not enough.

What if someone took Haley?

It wouldn't be enough to get her back.

I couldn't sleep every night knowing he was out there

knowing he could do it again.

You can't do this with every case, alright?

You're pushing yourself too hard.

I'm fine.

Jack, I'm fine.

Everyone, okay, listen up.

I know you've all been working hard.

My thanks to everyone who jumped in to help.

Here's where we are.

Any evidence found in the storage locker is out.

We also learned yesterday that the victim's testimony

won't meet our burden.

I know this seems impossible

but I think we can still make a case.

At the precinct, I asked you to find

independent evidence.

Anything that didn't stem from the confession

is still fair game.

The good news is we got a jump on this early.

'These are the roads to the storage facility'

Derrick adler could have taken the night of the crime.

The ones in red have already been covered.

I want every possible stop checked.

Gas stations, restaurants...

We're trying, but you're talking about 40 square miles.

I know. This is our only shot.

We need a witness, a lead.

Someone who saw them driving together.

There's something we don't know yet

and we need to find it.

How much time do we have?

I'll be in court in 24 hours.

I'm at the court house now. You know what we need.

(George) 'Anything not related to the confession.'

we're trying. We just need more time.

We don't have more time.

By law, prosecutors must arraign Derrick adler today

but sources say the police are still searching

'for enough evidence to hold him.'

This case is marked for arraignment?

Yes, your honor, but as you can see

the people have yet to produce my client.

Mr. Adler is being processed, your honor.

Processed? He's not a wheel of cheese, Ms. Chase.

Is he in the building or not?

- Not yet. - Fine.

We'll second call his case in 45 minutes.

Next.

- How much longer? - Just a few minutes.

Your testimony's next.

Don't pay any attention to them.

I didn't expect to see you here.

I said I'd back you up, Maureen.

I meant it.

Maureen?

Can you give me a minute?

You really going in there?

They subpoenaed me.

Look, I was wrong.

It's too late, Billy.

Please. You know me.

I'm not married, no kids. I'm a cop.

Job's the only thing I have.

I got a lot of good left in me.

I got a lot of cases left to make.

O-Okay, I let this one slide, but I'll make it up.

What do you want me to do?

I can't lie under oath.

Maybe you could say you don't remember.

That's perjury, Billy.

It's corruption.

Do you realize what you're asking me?

Give me another chance, Maureen.

I'm a good detective.

Don't take that away from me.

Maureen Scofield.

We're ready.

[Instrumental music]

- When was this? - About five days ago.

Can't say he looks familiar.

Well, look again. He would have come in late.

11:00, maybe 12:00.

He might have had a girl with him.

Oh, wait. I-I do know this guy.

What's this about? His girlfriend?

He had a girlfriend with him?

Hey, uh, look, man, whatever she was on, she didn't get it here.

Just tell me what happened.

He came in to pay.

Uh, full tank on pump one out front.

He goes to give me the cash, and suddenly

I see his girlfriend getting out of the car.

Man, she was out of her mind.

She starts walking out in the middle of traffic...

- And you just stood there? - No, I told the guy.

When he saw her, he went white as a ghost.

Said she had a few too many, he was taking her home.

- Is she okay? - You got cameras out front?

Yeah, but they don't show much.

I need that tape. Now.

(Male #3) 'Do you solemnly swear that the testimony'

you are about to give will be the truth

the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

I do.

Miss Scofield, I'd like to, uh, if I may

dispense with the usual pleasantries

and get right to the point.

Fine.

As the, uh, prosecuting attorney in this matter

why did you not seek a blood test to determine

if Mr. Reed was legally intoxicated?

I did.

Sorry, could you say that again?

I did.

I ordered detective William margate to get the test.

He ignored my order.

I see. And, uh... Did detective margate tell you

why he ignored your order?

'That test was critical to the prosecution's ability'

'to make a case here.'

'if he intentionally failed to get it'

'that would be obstruction of justice'

'and would be of great interest to this panel.'

this needs to work. I can't stall much longer.

I'm coming up on it now.

'There he is. That's the car.'

is this the only camera angle? We need to see inside.

It's all they had.

Okay, he's going in to pay.

Amy must be getting out now.

Oh, we can't see anything.

We can't even prove she was in the car.

Wait a second, what was that?

- What? - Did you see that?

Run it back.

'Freeze it.'

- that! What is that? - I don't know.

Looks like a water bottle.

Must be the one he gave Amy.

The one he used to knock her out.

We didn't find it at the storage locker.

That's it. That has to be it.

I'm going back to the gas station.

Detective William margate.

- Here. - Step in, please.

The panel has a few questions for you.

[Instrumental music]

[Indistinct chatter]

- You sure it's in here? - Has to be.

Trucks don't pick up till the weekend.

This is ridiculous.

My client still isn't here.

I haven't even spoken to him yet.

It's not ridiculous.

We technically have a few more hours

to arraign Mr. Adler.

Alright, miss chase.

Enough is enough. I want the defendant here.

- Your honor, may I be heard? - No, you may not.

Mr. Reynolds, confer with your client when he arrives.

As for you, Ms. Chase, you've wasted

'this court's time all day.'

I will give you until exactly 5 o'clock

'that's three hours from now.'

we've got 12 bottles. I'm taking them to the lab right now.

Let me know as soon as you hear.

You really think one of these is the answer?

I'd say our chances are one in 12.

I'm sorry.

The blood test was never done.

By waiting too long, detective margate destroyed

any evidence of intoxication.

So the driver

he just walks away?

No. I've started a larger investigation.

There may be a witness to the accident

someone who saw him drunk at the bar.

I won't give up.

What about detective margate?

He testified at the hearing.

The panel didn't believe his statement

and he will be forced to resign from the department.

In the meantime, this office is filing criminal charges.

Thank you.

For my husband.

[Instrumental music]

- You a baseball fan? - What?

- You like baseball? - Uh, yes.

Well, in baseball terms, I'd say we just turned a triple play.

- I'm sorry, your honor. - It's after 5:00.

We have rules, Ms. Chase.

But from what I hear, you're not interested in rules.

- If I could just explain. - Don't bother.

Mr. Reynolds has been filling me in.

He claims you deliberately violated his client's

right to counsel. Is that true?

- Yes. - Yes?

Then you realize the defendant's confession is out.

I do.

And all the other evidence obtained as a result.

I read the file and while I may personally wish

I could rule different, the law is very clear.

I'm holding everything found at the storage unit inadmissible.

- I understand. - Then help me understand.

From what I see, you have almost no other evidence.

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't release

Mr. Adler and dismiss these charges.

I have that reason right here.

This is the bottle the defendant used to drug Amy Flynn.

Objection, that evidence is fruit of the poisonous tree.

It was derived from the confession.

No, it wasn't.

'The defendant never said'

'anything about a bottle.'

he never said he drugged the victim.

We learned about this from Amy herself.

Yes, and you found Amy because of the confession.

Hold on, Mr. Reynolds, the physical evidence is out

but the victim's independent opportunity

to observe is still in play.

The defendant's palm print is on this bottle.

Inside, we found traces of rohypnol

the drug found in Amy's bloodstream.

We also found her salvia on the lip.

Let me be clear. The defendant never mentioned this.

Never. We were very careful, your honor.

This was a separate investigation.

- Your honor, I.. - Save it, Mr. Reynolds.

She's got you, I'd like to hear your client

'explain that bottle to a jury.'

the defendant is held without bail.

'Mr. Adler, I am remanding you'

'to the custody of the correctional system.'

it won't be pleasant.

[Gavel bangs]

Congratulations.

Thanks.

- Listen, about the other day... - Steve, it's okay.

You were right. I shouldn't have made the decision without you.

True.

But I've been thinking about why I reacted the way that I did.

- It's okay. - No, it's not.

I was thrown.

Not because of what you did

but maybe because it never even occurred to me.

I've been doing this for so long

the only thing I see is the case.

I've taught myself to see the process

not the people involved in it.

The truth is, when Derrick adler asked for a lawyer

I'd have stopped.

And a girl would be dead.

Don't ever lose that, annabeth.

Don't ever stop seeing the people.

[Instrumental music]

Amy Flynn is back home tonight, with her family.

'Meanwhile, Derrick adler faces life in prison.'

I think about those parents..

Who never found their child

never got to bring them home.

Oh, if I ever lost you..

I would search to the ends of the earth.

Hey..

Nobody's losing anybody.
