Frank!

(Steve) Frank Murphy. 40, philanthropist.

Owner of a local grocery store chain

was reported missing last night by his wife, Carolyn.

She came home to find blood in their garage.

There was signs of a struggle

and the blood type matches frank Murphy's.

Detective branch, why don't you fill them in on the suspect.

Approximately three hours after Murphy was abducted

this man, Craig schrader, attempted to use

one of Murphy's credit cards at a convenience store.

The store manager became suspicious

when schrader refused to show ID.

When the manager said he had to call the card number in

'for approval, schrader ran.'

'manager saw him blast out of the parking lot in a green Van.'

when the manager called police, he found out the credit card

belonged to a person who was reported missing.

The police dusted the card for prints

matched them to Craig schrader

who had one prior arrest for disorderly conduct.

Schrader returned to his house

police were waiting to arrest him there.

Inside of the green Van was soaked

with frank Murphy's blood.

One of the cops got a little overzealous

and shall we say, rushed schrader up.

Where's the guy? What'd you do with him?

Where is frank Murphy? Is he alive?

He's dead, man.

[Coughing]

During the exchange, schrader said Murphy was dead.

- He admitted it? - Didn't admit to killing him.

- He just said he was dead. - You're not gonna get that in.

The cop interrogated him without his Miranda rights.

Even so, add that statement to the amount of blood in the Van

and in the crime scene. Murphy is presumed dead.

- There's no body? - No.

- And schrader's not talking. - Did schrader know the victim?

There are no links so far.

Could this have been a racial killing?

Schrader was unemployed, Murphy was driving a Lexus.

It's about money.

A white guy kills a black guy

it's not hard to consider it.

'We should consider everything'

but we should focus on the facts.

Annabeth, you're gonna need

to start making a case against schrader.

Sounds like there's enough

physical and circumstantial evidence

to tie schrader to the abduction.

Abduction's not gonna cut it.

Frank Murphy was a local hero.

He gave computers to schools

paid for his employees to go to college.

The community's gonna be outraged.

We're gonna need to prove murder.

Steve, you know how hard it is to prove murder without a body.

I do. I also know we're gonna need to find a way.

Jennifer Jordan, she was the first.

She was a cashier with us for three years.

Smart as a whip, but didn't believe it.

Frank used to call her val, for valedictorian.

Said she was the smartest one of us all

and should go to college.

She said, "if I could afford to go to college

I wouldn't be working in this grocery store."

'So, frank paid for her to go.'

'she graduated third in her class from Indiana state.'

'after that, frank put out the word'

'any employee who wanted to go to college'

'the business would pay.'

'all they had to do was keep their grades up'

and send us a picture when they graduate.

What an amazing legacy.

Why would someone do this to such a good man?

Just for money.

Are you sure, are you sure he's dead?

Schrader said that he was.

And the blood we found suggest he was telling the truth.

I hope you're gonna put that man away forever.

In order to do that, we need to find your husband's body.

Why? You just said schrader confessed.

That statement is inadmissible.

Schrader hadn't been read his rights.

And without a body, juries are very reluctant

to convict on murder.

The defense will say that the victim could still be alive

or that he went into hiding because of personal problems.

- Frank is not in hiding. - I know.

This is Craig schrader.

- Does he look familiar to you? - No.

But I can check our records to see if he was ever employed

by one of our stores.

The police have already done that.

There's no record of him ever working for you.

Why not just Rob him and go?

- Why take frank away? - That's a concern.

It makes me think there was more to this than a botched robbery.

Was your husband being threatened by anyone?

Any business conflicts, fights with a neighbor?

Not that I know of.

The one thing that I can't get out of my mind

is that frank is out there somewhere.

Lying on the cold ground like some worthless piece of trash.

Frank treated people so well.

To have him treated..

He meant everything to me.

And the thought that I don't know where he is..

That I can't Bury him, I can't visit his grave..

He's just gone.

I don't know how I'm gonna live with that.

Frank Murphy had no obvious enemies.

By all accounts he ran an ethical business

shared the wealth with his workers

and encouraged them to make something of themselves.

Only the good die young.

His wife is devastated.

She just wants to Bury her husband.

We still haven't located the body?

No. Schrader lives here.

Frank Murphy was abducted from his house

at approximately 8:00 P.M. at this location.

Three hours later, schrader tried to use his credit card

at this location.

Three hours could've gotten him into another state and back.

People don't usually carry bodies that long.

They dump them pretty quickly.

We have a helicopter with thermal imaging capabilities

doing periodic sweeps of a three-hour zone

looking for a decomposing body, but so far, no luck.

But if the body were hidden in, say a house or a storage unit

thermal imaging won't find it.

Police are gonna use bloodhounds again this afternoon

but there's a lot of woods and farms in this area

so it won't go fast.

Danny, what do we know about schrader?

Uh, he's been unemployed for the last six months.

He was arrested once for a bar fight

'but the, uh, the charges were dropped.'

that green Van was never registered with the dmv.

And a guy by the name of Gary Poindexter

'cosigned for the last vehicle he registered'

which was a pickup truck.

That was not found at the schrader house.

Any chance of getting schrader to talk to us?

No. He asked for a lawyer immediately.

Do you have an address or phone number

for this Gary Poindexter?

It's right here.

Eric foster was assigned as his pd.

Really?

Is there some history here I don't know about?

Uh, Eric foster is a friend of mine from law school.

I-I haven't seen him in a while.

Well, you're gonna be seeing him pretty soon.

You got an evidentiary hearing in a half hour.

What are the issues?

He's gonna come at you on the confession

and the blood in the Van.

Well, I'm assuming I'll lose the confession

but I can't lose the Van.

Right. Get out to Gary Poindexter's house.

Maureen and detective branch, go talk to him

see if you can find anything about schrader.

Try to track down his friends, former coworkers.

Maybe he bragged about the crime.

I'd better get to court.

So opposing counsel's your old boyfriend.

- No comment. - Never mind.

You don't need to tell me.

Just please tell me you did better than him

in law school.

Back soon.

Annabeth chase. Ladies and gentlemen, she does exist.

Eric, hi.

That's the last friendly contact we're gonna have

until this case is over, so I hoped you enjoyed it.

Oh, with all my heart.

How's the baby?

She's, well, she's so cute.

You've gotta come by my office and see some pictures.

You'll see I'm not kidding about the cute thing.

I will do that.

And maybe I'll bring my fiancee along.

You're getting married?

Ah, you make it sound like I'm a freak.

People want to marry me these days.

Yeah, I'm sure they do.

I'm just surprised you left work long enough

to meet someone.

Actually, she came to my office.

She was consulting on a case I was handling.

I'm happy for you. Congratulations.

Thank you.

Okay, back to business.

Listen, Eric, we both know your client killed frank Murphy.

He as much as told the arresting officer.

That statement's never coming in.

I've got a case for abduction.

And given the amount of Murphy's blood in that Van

I think I've got murder.

I'm willing to offer 30 years.

- As opposed to what? - The death penalty.

In exchange, schrader will make a full confession

and give us the location of frank Murphy's body.

It would really mean a lot to his wife.

I can't accept that offer.

You really think you're gonna convince the jury

he's innocent after they've seen the blood evidence?

You're about to lose most of your blood evidence.

We'll see about that.

Mrs. Poindexter?

Yes. Can I help you?

My name is Maureen Scofield.

I'm an assistant deputy prosecutor.

This is detective branch.

Is Gary Poindexter home?

Uh, he's out back. Why?

We'd like to ask him a few questions

about a man named Craig schrader.

Do you know him?

Of course. He's our son-in-law.

- 'Gary?' - coming.

Gary, this is, uh, detective branch, and Ms..

- Maureen Scofield. - I don't wanna get you dirty.

Uh, what's this about?

Craig schrader. He's a suspect in an abduction and a murder.

Oh, my lord, there must be some mistake.

It doesn't appear that way.

You cosigned on a truck for Mr. Schrader.

Did you give him access to any of your property?

Maybe a garage or a storage facility?

No, nothing like that.

Have you been in contact with him in the last week?

Not me. I don't know about bernice.

No, I haven't seen him.

Well, maybe you could direct us to your daughter.

She's no longer with us.

I am so sorry.

'What happened?'

it was about a year ago. Craig was working third shift

and sylvie was in the house by herself.

A couple of hoodlums broke in to Rob the place. Shot her.

'All they got was a television set and whatever little bit'

of money was in the house, and for that

they murdered sylvie in cold blood.

Craig was never the same after that. He lost his job.

It was around this time he was arrested for a bar fight.

That was just a drunken lapse of judgment.

The guy even dropped the charges afterwards.

Even so, Mr. Schrader never had problems with the police before.

Would you say that he became increasingly violent

after your daughter's death?

He was angry. Who wouldn't be?

They never found the guys that did it.

After sylvie died, Craig cried all day and all night.

He couldn't stop crying.

That's how much he loved my little girl.

And if those animals hadn't taken her

that's who you should be looking for

the animals that killed my daughter.

I have reviewed the police reports

and Mr. Schrader's medical report.

It seems fairly evident that one of the arresting officers

got a little out of control.

Yes, your honor, my client was already in custody

when he was interrogated without his Miranda rights.

'Therefore, any statements made by Mr. Schrader'

to the arresting officer must be excluded from this case.

Ms. Chase, do you intend to fight that?

No, your honor, the state acknowledges

that the statement is inadmissible.

I'm granting the motion to suppress.

The defendant's statement to the arresting officer

will be excluded. Anything else?

Your honor, the police violated search-and-seizure rules

when they arrested Mr. Schrader.

'They failed to get a warrant to search Mr. Schrader's Van.'

therefore, all evidence collected from the Van

should be excluded.

Your honor, the search of the Van was authorized

under search incident to arrest, which states that

"a search of the suspect's immediate surroundings is

"permitted to secure the safety

of the arresting officers."

The police were waiting for Mr. Schrader at his home.

They did not have to arrest him in the Van

thereby putting the arresting officers at risk.

They deliberately chose to take Mr. Schrader in the Van.

This was a pretext for an illegal search.

It was not a pretext. The defendant drove up in the Van.

What they did was legal.

Not to mention the fact that Mr. Schrader

was being arrested for using a credit card

which was stolen from a man who had been reported missing.

For all they knew, frank Murphy was in that Van.

They had an obligation to search.

The also had an obligation to read my client his rights

and to refrain from throwing him on the ground.

The officers came and they were ready to do

whatever they felt was necessary to get a confession.

Now the system should not reward that behavior, your honor.

I'm finding that there was probable cause

to search the vehicle.

Mr. Foster, your motion to suppress the evidence in the Van

is denied.

Okay, okay, let's talk.

I don't know if you were listening, Eric

but I just did a lot of talking.

Judge seemed to hear me.

I'll take the deal to my client.

What deal?

I offered a deal earlier

but that deal's long gone.

Come on, annabeth, this is a robbery gone wrong.

This guy's life was falling apart. He needed money.

He never meant to kill anyone.

Well, he did.

[Sighs] What if I can get you the body?

He'll tell you where it is?

I think so, yeah.

Thirty years.

Thirty-five.

Let me talk to him.

Oh, I talked to annabeth.

She may have a deal to get Murphy's body back.

- How many years? - Thirty-five.

Did you talk to the guy who cosigned for schrader's truck?

- Gary Poindexter. - And his wife, bernice.

Schrader was married to their daughter, sylvie.

She was murdered about a year ago.

The killers were never found.

I think that's what started

schrader's decline.

I'm getting a warrant to search the in-law's property

in case schrader hid something there they don't know about.

And I'm on my way to check out the bar

where he was arrested for fighting.

He may still have some friends there. Or enemies.

Take Danny. Bar full of guys, you may need some help.

You've obviously never seen me in a bar full of guys.

[Knock on door]

We need to talk.

I was wondering when you were gonna give me an answer.

What took so long?

I had to go somewhere

do some research.

About?

Your offer.

I can't make the deal.

Eric, you're never gonna get a better deal than this.

I understand.

[Exhales] I'm sorry.

Wait, wait, wait..

So what happened?

He wouldn't tell you where the body was?

Oh, he told me.

Is that where you went?

To verify that he actually had the body?

Yeah.

Why on earth would you do that?

I don't know what kind of people you deal with all day

but I've had way too many clients

promise information they couldn't deliver

and confess to things they didn't do.

I need to know what I'm dealing with.

So why won't he take the deal?

He's not gonna get a better one, Eric.

You need to explain to him what he's facing here.

- It's my call, annabeth. - What are you talking about?

What is it?

Off the record?

Okay.

If I tell you where the body is

I'll be further incriminating my client.

Further? Your client murdered someone.

I mean, how much more incriminating can you..

You found more than one body.

[Sighs]

How many?

You know I can't go any further with this.

I'm bound by attorney-client privilege.

- Eric.. - I've gone as far as I can go.

[Sighs]

I'll see you in court.

Hey, do we have a deal with schrader?

- No. - Why not?

Eric foster confided to me off the record that schrader

told him where Murphy's body is.

He also implied there were other bodies.

So we can't make a deal without exposing his client

to further prosecution.

Get a judge to compel Eric foster

to testify to the location.

I can't do that. He's bound by attorney-client privilege.

You'll have to find a way around it.

Steve, I can't get around it.

The right of a defendant to speak freely with his attorney

is at the heart of our system of justice.

It's right up there

with not being forced to incriminate yourself.

Okay, but maybe this isn't privileged information.

By going to that location, Eric foster made himself

a witness in this case.

And by telling you, he opened the door to testify.

He told me in confidence.

Well, maybe he shouldn't have.

Lawyers share this kind of information all the time.

They don't turn it around and use it against each other.

This case started as an abduction

and turned into a murder.

That murder has turned

into a multiple homicide.

And before we're through

we may be looking at a serial killer.

We need to find those bodies to put schrader away.

Danny, do a search of all missing persons

whose disappearances are similar to frank Murphy's.

I'm on it.

We have at least one other victim out there.

Maybe that will be the key to nailing schrader.

You know it's almost impossible

to get around attorney-client privilege, right?

It's a hail Mary, but we need the information.

There's only two people who have it, schrader and his lawyer.

And if we can't get schrader, we'll go after Eric foster.

This is a frivolous and ridiculous request, your honor.

I am bound by my attorney-client privilege

and cannot provide the information the state seeks.

Your honor, I'm not asking what his client told him.

I'm asking what he saw with his own eyes.

Anything I may have seen or experienced at that location

was as a result of privileged information.

Mr. Foster opened this door when he told me

that he'd personally seen the body.

Your honor, did I tell Ms. Chase I'd seen the body, yes.

Was it a mistake? Perhaps.

But let's be clear, I did not incriminate my client

and as we stand here right now

the state is no closer to convicting my client

than it was before my conversation with Ms. Chase.

Ms. Chase, your argument has merit

but I have to weigh all of the consequences.

You are, in fact, asking Mr. Foster

'to incriminate his client, because if he tells you'

where the body is, you'll go there

and your case against Mr. Foster's client

presumably will be made.

At this point, I see nothing that tips the balance

in your favor.

Then I'd like you to consider another issue, your honor.

Eric foster has admitted knowledge

of at least one dead body which has been left unburied.

'Failure to report a dead body'

or give it a proper burial, is a violation

of health code 164172.

Oh, for heaven's sake.

This is a serious matter, your honor.

Mr. Foster's decision to withhold information

puts public health at risk.

I am inspired by your creativity, Ms. Chase.

And while I believe Mr. Foster made an error in judgment

by revealing information to the prosecution

I'm not inclined to make this situation worse

by eroding Mr. Foster's client's rights any further.

I'm denying the request to compel Mr. Foster to testify.

[Rock music]

Excuse me. Can you tell me where I can find the owner?

Found him. Tom Hudson.

Mr. Hudson, I'm Maureen Scofield from the prosecutor's office.

This is my associate, Danny robel.

We need to ask you a few questions about this man

Craig schrader.

(Tom) 'Ask away.'

I'm gonna go talk to those guys.

How well do you know Craig schrader?

- He's one of my regulars. - Still?

Even after you had him arrested for fighting?

It wasn't much of a fight.

He kicked the crap out of the guy.

Why?

Let's just say the guy didn't belong here

and schrader let him know it.

What do you mean the guy didn't belong?

He just didn't.

You guys know a man named Craig schrader?

You ever seen this guy before?

What are you doing with her?

I work with her.

That's the kind of thing that gets you messed up around here.

I don't understand.

When's the last time schrader was in?

A month ago, maybe.

Hit a rough patch, couldn't pay for his drinks

wouldn't let anybody else help him out.

Tried to tell him we're all brothers in arms here

but he stopped coming.

Brothers in arms, huh?

What, you guys in the military?

No. Not uncle Sam's.

Sort of got our own little army.

Was the guy that, uh, schrader beat up in here

African-American?

What's that got to do with it?

Simple question.

Yeah... i believe he was.

What was going on in there?

I think you may want to amend your charges against schrader.

- To include what? - Hate crime.

You called it, Maureen. It's too coincidental.

He just happened to attack a black man in this bar

and then chose to kill Murphy.

I agree, but we saw the arrest report of the bar fight.

The victim didn't claim it was racially motivated.

Think it's worth hearing the story face-to-face?

Yeah. Let's call him in.

I'll tell you what happened, but there's no way I'm gonna

show up in court and testify against this guy, okay?

We don't think that'll be necessary, Mr. Weathers.

Just tell us about your encounter with schrader.

It was pretty fast from my point of view.

I came in to use the bathroom.

There was a game on, so I decided to grab a beer.

But before I knew it, something hit me in the back of the head.

The police report mentions a broken bottle.

That's right.

All I know is I was stunned

and bleeding and schrader was standing over me

kicking me, calling me names.

Racial epithets?

Every single one you've ever heard.

You didn't mention this to the police.

You even dropped charges against schrader.

One of the other guys had a swastika tattooed on his arm.

'He put it real close to my face.'

said he didn't want any confusion over

what they were willing to do to me.

I just counted myself lucky I got out of there alive.

(George) Make sure you search that alley.

There are a couple of dumpsters back there.

Detective branch, I don't see

why you have to treat us this way.

We answered all your questions

then you wait till my husband's at work

so you could come and rummage through our things.

We came as soon as we got the warrant, Mrs. Poindexter.

I know it's unpleasant, but it's for your own protection.

Your son-in-law may have concealed evidence

on your property without your knowledge.

- He wouldn't do that. - 'I'm sorry.'

branch. Yeah.

Excuse me, ma'am.

You're back. Please tell me you got further than I did today.

No luck in court?

Judge salter mistook my legal argument

for a comedy routine.

He was amused, but not convinced.

- How was the bar? - Not a friendly place.

Apparently, some of schrader's bar buddies wear swastikas.

- Lovely. - Yeah.

And the owner referred to them

as "our own little army."

Danny's checking databases of known hate groups

to see if schrader's name comes up.

Lab found out that schrader's wife

had been murdered a year ago.

When I checked the file there were no arrests made

but two African-American men were questioned and released.

You think Murphy's murder was a hate crime?

Right now I'm waiting for the evidence

to back me up, but yeah, I do.

Detective branch, how's the search going?

Oh, no.

Okay.

Okay, keep me informed.

There's been another abduction.

An African-American attorney named miles Burke.

He disappeared from his home this afternoon.

His car was in the driveway with the door open

and there was blood on the floor.

Just like frank Murphy.

Schrader has an accomplice.

Or god forbid, his own little army.

Miles Burke is a well-known attorney.

He's very involved in the community.

The similarities to frank Murphy's

kidnapping are undeniable.

So schrader's working with somebody else?

Maybe a group of people?

And he's targeting leaders of the black community.

The mo is exactly the same as with Murphy.

The attacker followed Burke home

forced him out of his car, and put him in another vehicle.

And we know how abductions go.

The odds of finding the victim alive

diminish rapidly after a few hours.

We need confirmation that this attack

is affiliated with schrader.

So far, schrader's name hasn't come up on any websites

or watch lists for white supremacy groups

but the owner of the bar, Tom Hudson, did.

The police are questioning him now

as well as some of his customers.

Well, we better hope one of them cracks.

That's the only way of breaking this case quickly.

Well, now that we know that these are racial killings

maybe I can find a way in with schrader.

I'm gonna take a shot, see if I can

get him to tell me who he's working for.

You'll have to offer him a deal.

Maybe. Maybe not.

These guys like to hear themselves talk.

The trick is to get 'em to talk about

what I want them to talk about.

Exactly. If you can get 'em onto something personal

something other than the philosophy

he's been hiding behind, he may do himself in.

Annabeth, don't waste time. Offer him a deal, a good one.

We'll find another way to get him for more time

but we've got a killer on the loose.

The priority here is finding miles Burke alive

and making these attacks stop.

Are you Ms. Chase?

- Yes. - I'm Meredith Burke.

- My husband is miles. - Miles.

I'm so sorry, Mrs. Burke.

The police are doing everything they can to find your husband.

I will do anything. I will pay any amount of ransom.

Just bring him home.

There has been no request for ransom.

Then why are they doing this?

Why would somebody take him if they didn't want money?

We're not sure. We have theories which we're actively pursuing.

I promise you we'll keep you informed.

These are our children.

Miles' children. Don't let them kill him.

Our lives will be over. Do you understand that?

Yes.

Please excuse me.

Ms. Chase is willing to offer you another deal

in exchange for some information.

Let's just hear her out, okay?

Mr. Schrader, we know you've been working with an accomplice

maybe more than one.

The state is willing to offer you 25 years

if you tell us who they are and how we can find miles Burke.

Forget it.

We have a very strong case against you.

You go into that courtroom without a deal

you'll be facing a death penalty.

'I think we should consider the 25 years.'

- not interested. - A man's life is at stake here.

Not really.

Are you saying he's already dead?

All I'm saying he's not really a man.

What if I was able to offer you 20 years?

I've resigned myself to my fate.

Others will carry on the mission.

What mission?

An all-out war against anybody

who tries to weaken the white race.

Mr. Schrader, I suggest you stop talking.

All-out war? How are you gonna pull that off?

Well, first you gotta cut the head off the snake.

Take out the leaders.

- Craig? - Shut up.

And then we gotta get the white race

to start thinking straight.

Stop subsidizing the inferiors. Let them wither on the vine.

And then we will expand our territories

until all the good lands of this planet earth are ours.

And that will be a great day.

What did sylvie look like?

What?

Your wife, sylvie.

Was she pretty?

I just have this image in my head and she's pretty.

Am I right?

What do you care?

Just wondered.

She was so young when you lost her. What was she, 25?

Twenty-seven.

Oh! That's rough.

Did she want children?

I have a child. She's the light of my life.

'Did you want children?'

- what are you doing? - Nothing. We're just talking.

Well, I don't wanna talk to you anymore.

It must have been devastating

to have the love of your life taken from you like that.

You don't know anything about it.

No, you're right, I don't.

But Carolyn Murphy does.

'She's the wife of the man you kidnapped and killed.'

careful, annabeth.

Craig, I strongly advise you to stop talking.

Meredith Burke knows what you felt.

She's miles Burke's wife.

They have two little girls, so small.

They don't know what to make of this.

Those little girls are gonna cry every night

'until they see their father again.'

Craig, you know what that's like, don't you?

'You remember crying every night'

'when sylvie was taken from you, don't you?'

you're a traitor to your race and you will be...

What would sylvie think about what you're doing?

'It would break her heart.'

you don't speak for sylvie.

She loved you.

She would want you to live out the rest of your life.

She would want you to stop the killing.

It's never gonna stop!

Miles Burke isn't gonna get out of that room alive

any more than Murphy did!

'They're going to hang there side-by-side'

and the devil's gonna come and take their souls

at a time of his choosing!

The white race will be purified.

- Eric.. - Don't.

You heard what schrader said.

You have to come forward.

For the love of god, don't let that man die.

I can't give up my client, annabeth.

Your client just told us both that miles Burke is being held

in the same location as frank Murphy's body.

You know where that is.

Do you realize what you're asking me to do?

Yes, and I know that

it's not in my place or my right

but I'm begging you, Eric. Do the right thing.

I have been doing the right thing

by protecting my client's rights.

But now you can prevent the commission of a future crime

which will result in serious bodily harm.

The law allows you the right to do that.

No attorney exercises that right.

- The brave ones do. - Yeah?

Well, maybe I'm not so brave.

This goes to the heart of what it means

to be a defense attorney, annabeth.

This is the thing you never understood.

I understood the justice system.

I just never understood how you, Eric

the person I cared about could defend rapists and murderers.

It's not about me or you

or how we choose to live our lives.

It's about keeping the system fair for everyone.

I've only been a lawyer for a couple of years

and you want me to be the guy who makes this stand?

How could I ever do this work again?

How, how could I face my colleagues?

You could face them because you saved a man's life.

You don't know that. For all we know, Burke's already dead.

There's still a chance. We have to try to save him.

I know you. You are that guy.

[Sighs]

Your honor, I know I have the right to

come forward and testify to information I have

which may prevent a serious crime from occurring.

I wish to exercise that right.

I move to withdraw myself as Craig schrader's counsel

and to advise the prosecution

that I am willing to give a statement.

This is a highly unusual step, Mr. Foster.

Have you given this decision thorough consideration?

I have, your honor.

Granted. You will be removed from Mr. Schrader's case

and another attorney will be provided to him.

Good luck, Mr. Foster.

Thank you, sir.

Schrader's directions took me east on route 40

past greenfield.

At first, I thought it was just somebody's farm.

Nothing special.

I drove past the barn, couple of storage buildings.

But the further I drove, the place looked

more and more abandoned.

The woods got thicker, more overgrown.

The road became narrow.

It turned into a dirt road.

At the end, there was a boarded-up outbuilding..

Used for hanging and carrying meat.

It was locked..

But I could see through the boards.

There were two men..

Hanging by their wrists.

They were both African-American men.

The bodies were beaten and bruised.

There were tools on the table nearby..

Wrenches, hammers..

A hunting knife.

The men had been tortured?

Yeah.

(Annabeth) Did you recognize either of the men?

One of them was frank Murphy.

The other body I didn't recognize.

It had obviously been there a long time.

His name is Jackson Reed, age 28

successful stockbroker.

He disappeared two months ago.

His BMW was found abandoned in his business parking lot.

Has his family been notified?

They have.

Miles Burke's body wasn't with the other two.

Hopefully, that means he's still alive.

Or it means the accomplice knew that

schrader gave up the location to his lawyer

so he's not dumping the victims there anymore.

Who's had contact with schrader while he's been in custody?

(Danny) 'Police traced the deed to the farm'

'where the bodies were found.'

belonged to a deceased man named David bell

whose only known relative was Gary Poindexter

'schrader's father-in-law.'

and guess whose name I found on a white power website?

Gary Poindexter?

- Bernice Poindexter. - The mother-in-law?

According to the website, she's been affiliated

with the white women's power movement for ten years.

After her daughter was murdered, she went on a rant about

what she wanted to have done to those responsible.

She just assumed they were black.

That's, um, this is payback for sylvie's death.

Have the police picked them up yet?

They disappeared. Police just put out an apb.

[Siren wailing]

[Tires screeching]

Police! Turn off the vehicle.

Throw the keys out the window.

Put your hands on the dash.

Throw the keys out the window!

Let's go.

Get out of the car!

Let's go! Come on.

[Indistinct radio chatter]

Give me your hands.

We need an ambulance. We have the victim and he's alive.

'I repeat, the victim is alive.'

(woman on radio) 'Copy that.'

we're here to set bail for Craig schrader

Gary Poindexter, and bernice Poindexter.

Ms. Chase.

These three people were on a mission

to punish and destroy an entire race of men

because they hated them.

It's as simple as that.

They tried to justify their violent acts

by invoking the name of their dead wife and daughter

but they were racists long before sylvie lost her life.

These three defendants were trying to eliminate

successful African-American men.

'That's not about revenge for a wrong done to sylvie.'

that's about racial hatred.

Their first victim was Jackson Reed, age 28.

His body was found in the outbuilding of the farm

'inherited by Gary Poindexter.'

frank Murphy was abducted from his home as he exited his car.

His blood was found in Craig schrader's Van.

He too had been tortured before he died.

Preliminary hair and fiber tests show that both

Craig schrader and bernice Poindexter

'had contact with Mr. Murphy.'

'and finally, miles Burke'

'he was abducted from the driveway of his home'

by Gary and bernice Poindexter.

We know this because Mr. Burke lived to tell us.

'Your honor, the state is charging'

each of these defendants

with multiple charges of first-degree murder

and felony kidnapping

all in the commission of a hate crime.

We believe the nature of these crimes is so heinous

as to justify maximum punishment.

And, therefore, we ask that you hold them without bail.

Granted.

[Instrumental music]

I'm so happy for Mr. and Mrs. Burke.

You gave that a happy ending, Ms. Chase.

I wish I could've done the same for you.

As do I.

But you made it possible for me to Bury my husband..

Say goodbye.

And for that, I'm grateful.

I hope it gives you some comfort.

[Instrumental music]

You're leaving?

For now.

I need some time to think.

Figure out whether I can still do this.

You're always welcome up in the prosecutor's office.

No, I don't think that's gonna happen.

Not every defendant is Craig schrader.

And somebody needs to keep

the ordinary people from getting railroaded

by an overzealous system.

I agree.

But I am glad Burke's alive.

Is he okay?

He's going to be fine.

I don't think his wife will let him out of her sight

for a while.

Don't stay away too long.

This place needs you.

Sorry, I'm late.

You're right on time.

This is annabeth chase.

Annabeth, this is Lila crane, my fiancee.

- Hi. - Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Congratulations on your engagement.

He's a really good guy.

Yes, he is.

I'm going to go.

So, uh, bye, Eric.

And thank you.

I won't be able to do this much more.

I'm about to be a married man soon.

[Chuckles]

As long as it's for a good cause.

(Annabeth) Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
