Get down on the ground!

Come on, on your knees!

Stomach on the ground!

(Ed) 'Connor Bradley,
central state freshman.'

3.8 gpa.

- Business major.
- And he robs a bank?

On his way to the
movies with some friends.

- How much did he make off with?
- $1237.

That's barely
enough for popcorn.

Computer techs say he was
playing a lot of online poker.

Burns through his
cash for the semester.

- Can't face his parents.
- He's addicted.

Gambling on a computer,
there's nothing to stop you

except your cash flow.

Something you
want to tell us, ray?

I keep my cards
three-dimensional.

So is this an armed
robbery, or did he

just sweet-talk the teller?

If you call this sweet talk.

"Give me all your money,
and you won't get hurt."

She thought he had a gun.

- We recover any of the loot?
- Nope.

Alright, let's set up
some initial interviews

with the friends in
the car, the parents...

The parents are
coming in from Missouri.

Oh, no.

Nothing like that, "hi,
mom, I'm in jail," phone call.

College kid robbing a bank.

Yeah, what is that, some
kind of independent study?

On the robbery charge, how
does the defendant plead?

Not guilty, your honor,
and given that no weapon

or money has been recovered.

Your honor, this defendant
has shown a willingness

'to threaten the lives
of innocent strangers.'

(judge) 'Bail is
set at $50,000.'

should the defendant make bail

he will not be allowed to
return to Missouri, to drive

or to use anything other
than a library computer

to continue his class work.

Will at least one parent
remain in Indiana until trial?

- Yes, your honor.
- So ordered. Next case.

So it's ten percent of $50,000?

- That's right.
- How soon?

You post the bond, I'll
get the paperwork rolling.

- You'd have him back by supper.
- Thank you.

I assume you're not filling
their heads with false hope.

My goal for the day was to
get this family back together.

And your goal for tomorrow?

- How's 11:00 a. M.?
- Um-hm.

[Dramatic music]

Two years, plus
mandatory treatment for

his gambling addiction

and a full confession
with financial restitution.

Wait, wait a minute.
I have to confess?

We talked about this.

Confession of guilt
before the judge

is part of any plea arrangement.

You know, I just thought..

I thought I could keep
my parents from a trial.

Sally.

Connor, we're here
today to decide your future.

We need to make a
deal today, or that's it.

I can't make a
confession in front

of my parents. It'll kill them.

The jury is gonna see you
on that tape robbing the bank.

They won't care what
your parents think.

I-I can't do it.

Mr. Bradley, we have it on tape.

Yeah, well, we've seen the tape

and it's a blurry
mess, with somebody

who in our opinion doesn't
even look like Connor.

Were you aware your
son spent many hours

gambling over the Internet?

Connor told me about it, yes.

But he also said that he
quit doing it last semester.

It was his first time away
from home. He made a mistake.

And he's about to
make another one.

You need to pressure
him to take this deal.

He thinks he's letting you down.

Do you really want
a full-blown trial

landing him in
jail for four years

five hundred miles
from joplin, Missouri?

Maybe we should
hear all the options.

He gave me his word
he did not Rob that bank.

Mr. Bradley, this is
a list of the students

who went with your son
to the movies that day.

Do you understand?

The jury has no reason
to doubt any of them.

Four friends of his
placing him at the scene.

That's their business.

Alright, let's be clear then.
We were willing to deal.

Doesn't mean we'll go easy
on the trial, quite the opposite.

They're all yours. I have
witnesses to interview.

Kaitlin, the rest of the
passengers in the car

that day describe Connor
as quiet and withdrawn.

- Is that accurate?
- Yeah.

Do you have any idea
what was going on with him?

No, but I thought that the
movie might cheer him up.

Did he ever talk to
you about money?

- No.
- You're close with him, right?

I mean, we were friends.

Kelly runyun was in
the car that day, right?

Yes.

He told me Connor
has feelings for you.

I guess like a crush,
nothing serious.

We're really good friends.

I had no idea he was
gonna Rob a bank.

Oh, excuse me.

Annabeth chase.

Hey, ray. What's up?

[Intense music]

Long way from
the side of the road.

- Plus, no skid marks.
- The bike wasn't mangled up.

Guy's out on bail for three days

and he just happens to be
the victim of a hit-and-run?

Body's frozen. He's
been out here overnight.

Why did his parents wait a
day to report him missing?

They were trying to
find him on their own.

Said they didn't want him
getting in any more trouble.

His windpipe was crushed

and the neck fractures
were inconsistent

with any kind of
fall from a bicycle.

He was choked to death.

And there are some minor
scrapes on the back of his hands.

All of this happened
on the roadside?

Lividity shows up on his back,
but he was found on his side

so he was moved.

What about time of death?

About four hours
of decomposition.

But then he was dumped in
nearly freezing temperatures, so..

So if he went missing on Tuesday

and turned upon Thursday?

Means he could've
been killed pretty much

any time within
that two-day spread.

Sorry. But it's
not all bad news.

- What?
- This came from the lab.

- Fiber?
- Found it in the bike gears.

It's car upholstery.

It's not every day
your defendant

- becomes a murder victim.
- We're just getting started.

We hadn't even figured
out why he robbed a bank.

Kid's an honor
student, no history

of any kind of trouble.

- What do the police have?
- Well, you know how it goes.

They start from the murder
scene, and work out from there.

You think we should stick
with the robbery case?

At least talk to his parents
before they go back to Missouri.

And you still think
he didn't act alone?

Maybe now that he's
dead, people will be

a little more
willing to open up.

Yeah.

Where you going?

I gotta pick up my
daughter at the airport.

Oh, that's great.

That's not great?

Jessie got, uh, early
acceptance at college

and since then, she's
been blowing off the last half

- of her senior year.
- I remember that.

We probably put too much
pressure on her, right?

And, uh, she achieved her
goal, and now she's letting loose.

Sounds like she needs a
little quality time with her dad.

Yeah, that's what her
mother thought, too.

But you don't?

Jessie is a bright,
articulate, independent

stubborn person,
just like her mom.

And someone else I know.

[Dramatic music]

I only have a few minutes.

My husband doesn't
know that I'm here.

I understand.

After he turned down the
deal and came back to our hotel

Connor told me that
he robbed that bank.

I see.

- Did inform about the money?
- No.

Did he say why he
robbed the bank?

No, and he begged me not
to tell his dad until he got back.

- Got back?
- I should've never let him go.

Just tell me what happened.

He said that he needed to
straighten some things out.

I told him I'd have to drive him

but he said that I
needed to trust him.

So I let him go.

Your husband was
where at the time?

He was out getting food for us.

And what time
did your son leave?

It was around 3:00
in the afternoon.

Okay.

How was he killed?

'He was choked to death.'

oh-oh.

And then he was left outside
for almost a day and a half.

Kaitlin, his mom said the
last time she talked to him

he said he had some
things to straighten out.

You have any idea what
he was talking about?

- Well, you know he gambled.
- Online, we know.

No.

I mean, he played poker
live with a bunch of guys.

No one's ever
mentioned that before.

That's because the game's
exclusive, invitation only.

Part of playing there
was not talking about it.

Are you saying he robbed a bank
so he could keep playing poker?

I wouldn't know.

But you knew about the
game. Did you play there, too?

- Not exactly.
- Answer the question, please.

Look..

I know who runs the
game, and I'm afraid of him.

Why?

Because the last
time I saw him..

He twisted my arm behind my back

and slammed me
up against a wall.

Why would he do that?

Because I was
breaking up with him.

- What's his name?
- Bryce Gibson.

'You know mom always
makes everything sound'

'ten times worse than
what really happened.'

don't even try it, Jessie.

Your mother and I
are on the same page.

It was Chelsea's birthday.

You were gone all
night, not one phone call.

I forgot my cell phone.

You forgot it, or you
left it on purpose?

Let's talk about
your grades, too.

They're not that bad.

Jessica, a c in calculus?
For anyone else, that's okay.

For you, it's an embarrassment.

Dad, I'm gonna be
an English major.

Look, just because Boston
college gave you early admission

doesn't mean they won't
change their mind and drop you.

Maybe I should look at
schools while I'm here.

In Indiana?

Notre dame was always
my second choice.

Have you talked to
your mother about this?

Do you not want me
to go to school nearby?

That's not what i'm
saying, you know that.

Jess.

Hey, ray.

- I thought that was you.
- Hi.

- Wow, you look great.
- Thanks.

You, uh, staying long?

Talk to your supervisor.

Actually, boss, Ed's
ready for us upstairs.

- This won't take long.
- I'm going to stay here.

Promise not to
embarrass you. Bye, ray.

Bryce Gibson,
junior at central state

lives in a house with his dad.

Parents are divorced.

What connects this
guy to the victim?

They played poker
together at Gibson's place

according to Gibson's ex.

Yeah, poker and this.

Recovered from the
victim's bike gears.

We took the Liberty of doing
a drive-by Gibson's house

and found a brand-new car
which led us to the one he traded in.

Traded in the day after
the victim went missing.

Which made our job easier
since he no longer owned the car.

There's no way he can contest
the grounds for the search.

This fiber matched
the interior upholstery.

'Nothing dumber than
a smart criminal, huh?'

luminoled the floor boards.
Came back with some human DNA

but the lab's still
working on that.

The body was moved and from
paint dust on the victim's hand

it looks like a fight that
happened indoors somewhere.

Gibson loads the body
and the bicycle into his car

and drives into the country
to dump the evidence.

What's the time of death?

Victim's mother
was the last person

to see him, Tuesday at 3:00 P.M.

When we recovered the
body on Thursday, it was frozen

with only about four
hours decomposition.

So we don't know when
the body was dumped.

Going over Dr. Smith's
report, something jumped out.

See that dust in the
snow on his arm?

It snowed Tuesday
night at 8:00 P.M.

And that's the last time it
snowed until he was found.

Which makes it likely the body
was dumped Tuesday evening.

Good. What do we know
about the poker game?

Not much. The
kids aren't anxious

to let the parents
know they're players.

So we're going through the
campus gamblers anonymous.

'Cause we think someone there
might wanna get back at Gibson.

What about the
"anonymous" thing?

They're gonna make
an announcement.

Apparently, talking to us
would count towards step four

making a moral and
financial inventory.

We don't have time for that.
Let's arrest Gibson right away

before he has time to
hide any more evidence.

[Dramatic music]

Connor lost money, but it
wasn't in thousands of dollars.

Just a friendly
college poker game.

It's a $2.00 limit,
Texas hold 'em.

We've been told the
game was so exclusive

players were sworn to secrecy.

I don't know where
you heard that.

Your ex-girlfriend,
Kaitlin Howard.

- My ex-girlfriend?
- News to you?

She's making things up.

Like you throwing
her against a wall?

Can we confine this to
questions about the alleged victim?

- Was Connor a regular player?
- He played maybe..

I don't know, six times
since school started.

And the two of you never
got into any kind of fight?

Never.

So how did fibers from
the victim's bike gears

come from a vehicle
you once owned?

My client often gave the
alleged victim rides home.

After poker, when it
was too cold for him

to ride his bike, we
just threw it in the back.

That's considerate.

Where were you
Tuesday afternoon?

I was at home until
my mom picked me up.

And what time was that?

About 4:00, I don't
remember exactly.

- We go to dinner on Tuesdays.
- At 4:00?

My mom likes to watch
her money very carefully.

We get the early bird.

Watching sports is
about the only thing

that gets my mind off poker.

Actually, the best
part of a ga meeting

is we get to talk
about gambling.

- What about Gibson's game?
- Serious stuff, no limit pots.

How big?

Thousand bucks a game,
last time I played there.

Yeah? When was that?

Wait a minute.

I thought we were
just talking about Bryce.

You agreed to meet with us.

If you wind up
giving us nothing..

We might think you
have something to hide.

Last time I played at Gibson's,
I accused him of cheating.

You caught him?

He had this pattern
I couldn't figure out

for the longest
time. It was like a..

A built-in pause before he
made his bets, you know?

Like he was waiting
on final instructions.

And then I realized,
he's wearing a wire.

Did you actually see the wire?

You think I'm still
blaming him for my losses?

I've already been
through this in meeting.

Look, if he wasn't cheating

then why'd he throw
me out of the room?

- Physically?
- Yeah.

I shouldn't have
said it in front of..

Where exactly do
these games take place?

At a round table in the
living room in the basement.

We've been through his
place. There's no round table.

I don't know what to say.

But Bryce is the one
who's got something to hide.

[Dramatic music]

So Gibson's dad lives
upstairs, where's mom?

Lives in Hendricks county.

They're divorced.

Where is this supposed table?

Used to be something here.

Oh, look what we have here.

Safety first.

[Dramatic music]

Somebody tore
the guts out of this.

Doesn't look like the inside
of a smoke detector to me.

What do you know?

I wonder who was on
the other end of that.

We found the table
upstairs in the dad's place.

There's a camera in the
ceiling. Check this out.

This thing has an infrared
light hidden underneath

shining through the
smoked glass top.

You can't see anything
because it's invisible to your eye.

So any card lying face
down would be visible

to the pinhole camera above.

Hey, I'll take that hand.

Okay, for this to work,
somebody would have to monitor

what the camera was getting

and relay it back to Gibson.

The other end of the cable
came out in the bedroom upstairs.

So his dad must have
known what he was up to.

Maybe he also knows what
happened to Connor Bradley.

That's strange.

I bought the house this past
year and never noticed that.

Maybe the previous owners
were security conscious.

We also found a table rigged
to help your son cheat at cards

that had been moved
to your part of the house.

The police, all sorts
of people have been..

In the house for days,
moving everything around.

I'm in a hotel myself,
I can't even go home.

So it comes as a
complete shock to you

that your son was running a
crooked game in your basement?

First of all..

I'm gone much of the time.

I'm the tri-state manager

for a group of
insurance brokers.

Second, you're right,
it is my basement.

But it's also a completely
separate apartment

and I try to give
Bryce his privacy

he is in college after all.

But you were around Wednesday
to co-sign on a car loan?

I got back that morning.

I, uh, had promised Bryce a
new vehicle a couple months ago.

'His old one had a
series of problems.'

'it really wasn't worth fixing.'

like some torn upholstery?

I wasn't aware of that.

You weren't aware that
your son had used the vehicle

to transport a bicycle and a
dead body the day before?

I highly doubt
that to be the case

since my son was with
my ex-wife that evening.

She picks him up at 4
o' clock every Tuesday.

Believe me, she's
very strict about that.

You're not on good terms?

We were in business together.

It went bankrupt. Very ugly.
She blames me for all of it.

I picked Bryce up at 3:00
so we could go to dinner.

So now it's 3:00?

Your husband's
statement says 4:00.

Your son's statement says
4:00. What happened to 4:00?

Well, because that's
when it normally is

but I remember it specifically

because I came by
early that Tuesday.

- For what reason?
- I had some shelves

I wanted put up. Bryce is
good with that sort of thing.

- The name of the restaurant?
- Metro grill on market street.

When you picked him up did you
go in to his basement apartment?

I called Bryce from the car
and told him I was out front.

I don't like running into my
ex-husband, if I can help it.

Did you or your
ex-husband know anything

about the illegal
poker game he had

at his place every weekend?

I'm sorry he got
involved in that.

If he was living with me, it
never would have happened.

But just because my
husband was negligent

that doesn't mean
Bryce killed someone.

I don't know what
I'm looking at.

That's the victim's DNA.
We found it in your son's car.

Well, Bryce had many friends.

It's also the Dan we
found on a scrape

on the wall in your
son's apartment.

Take a good look. That's
another mother's son.

Denham's going to
make the boys' connection

seem as innocent as possible
and then hammer at the alibi.

Well, if Connor left his
house at 3:00 and Gibson

was on his way to dinner
by then we have a problem.

But Metro grill only has mother
and son from 4:30 to 6:30.

What's denham going to do
with the missing 90 minutes?

I'm looking forward
to a slide show

of the book shelves Gibson
helped his mom put up.

Wait a minute. Denham's
putting Mrs. Gibson up.

- To discuss the alibi, right?
- Right.

Why don't we do the same
with the dad, but do it first?

Get him to deny all the gambling

where he's completely
unbelievable

then switch him to the alibi.

- So it all feels like a lie.
- Work with the strengths.

Speaking of which, how's
Scott pace holding up?

Solid, paints
Gibson as a hothead

when it comes to
covering the cheating.

What about Kaitlin?

A little scared of
her ex-boyfriend still

but she'll get through it.

Play up the fear. It's the
best emotional connection

we have to
Gibson's violent side.

[Dramatic music]

Typically, in choke holds, the
forearm compresses the neck

and occludes the upper airway

which cuts off
oxygen to the brain.

Is that what happened here?

In this case, the hold
was applied with such force

that it fractured the
larynx and hyoid bone.

In other words, his
neck was broken.

That's correct.

Uh, this caused spinal shock

which immediately shut
down his breathing and, uh..

- He was dead within seconds.
- No further questions.

Aren't choke
holds most effective

when the person
performing the hold

has the height and
weight advantage?

In a general sense.

- What was the victim's height?
- Six-foot, 170 pounds.

Your honor, I'd like
to submit into evidence

my client's height, five
foot ten, weight, 163 pounds.

If this were a college
wrestling matchup

your honor, it wasn't a
college wrestling matchup.

Sustained.

One last thing, we heard
earlier from you about how the

time of death was determined
by the Tuesday night snowfall.

- Is that correct?
- Yes.

Did consider that
whoever placed this body

by the side of the road

might have tried to
cover it up with snow

thereby making it possible that

it could have been
placed there at any point

between the snowfall
and discovery?

- It never came up.
- Thank you.

Dr. Schmidt, can you think of
a reason why it never came up?

Probably because there
was no more than one inch

of snow reported
for that evening.

Can't even make a
snowball out of that.

- Objection, your honor.
- To what? The weather?

The first week, there'd
be a bunch of new players.

They'd do pretty
good their first time out.

That was Bryce's way of
hooking them in to the game.

Objection, your
honor. Speculation.

Sustained.

What happened
after the first week?

The second week, everyone
would do a little worse.

And then, by the third week

Bryce would completely
wipe them out.

- And the next week?
- He'd start all over again.

The last time you
played at Bryce Gibson's

you were thrown
out, is that correct?

- Yep.
- By Bryce Gibson himself?

- Yeah.
- Why?

I accused him of cheating.

And what did he say to you
when he physically ejected you?

He told me that if I
went around telling

anyone that he was
cheating, that he would..

- Beat the "blank" out of me.
- No more questions, your honor.

- Mr. Denham?
- Nothing, your honor.

The witness may step down.
Ms. Chase, next witness.

- What's up?
- Kaitlin's a no-show.

I knew she was shaky

but I didn't think
she was this shaky.

I think we should
move up Gibson's dad.

Back so soon? I was
just going to show Jess

what happens when
college kids go bad.

Oh, the judge wanted
an early lunch break.

- How's your trip so far?
- It's pretty fun.

Indiana isn't nearly as
dull as my dad said it was.

Sorry, we have to work.

- You sure everything's okay?
- Everything's under control.

- Ms. Chase, this came for you.
- Thank you.

Okay, you call ed and
ray. I'll call her relatives.

Okay.

Maureen Scofield.

On our way.

Maureen, look at
this. It's all money.

"Connor was going to
give this back. Kaitlin."

- I'm guessing $1200 and change.
- That was the clerk.

Judge lathrop wants
us in chambers.

Rains, it pours.

Anything you want to tell me?

When we broke
for lunch, I got into

an elevator with
the last witness.

Scott pace.

He was talking on his
phone and he was saying that

everything he said on the
stand, he was making it up.

Did you know or suspect
your witness was lying?

Of course not, your honor.

Mrs. Stottlemeyer, what
did you do after overhearing

the witness say he was lying?

I told Paul here about it.

- And what did you do, Paul?
- I told two other jurors.

Then we decided we'd better
come up here and tell you.

- So a total of four jurors?
- Ah, yes.

Thank you for your honesty.

In light of these developments

ladies and gentlemen, I
am declaring a mistrial.

'That means you can go home.'

I deposed Scott pace.
His story was not made up.

This whole thing stinks.

Well, obviously,
somebody got to him.

What about the
money from Kaitlin?

- Did it check out at the bank?
- Every last serial number.

Any idea why she
didn't give it up earlier?

Connor must've given
it to her. When he died,

she probably got
scared we'd suspect her.

- Do we?
- I don't know.

We haven't been able
to track her down yet.

Of course, receiving
money from her

makes you a material witness
when we start a new trial.

I haven't thought
of that, actually.

First things first, though,
who tampered with Scott pace?

Denham's annoying,
but not dirty.

Gibson's dad, though, definitely
likes to game the system.

- You mean he likes to cheat.
- We never proved that.

We need to dig into this
character's financial background

and we need to use
obstruction of justice to do it.

- I think somebody paid you off.
- No.

Nobody approached
you before the trial?

Nobody approached
me before the trial.

- Nobody gave you any money?
- Nobody gave me any money.

Perjury ranges from three
months to two-year jail time.

Look, I didn't lie, alright?
My testimony hasn't changed.

You wanna be a
smart-ass or tell the truth?

I was talking to a friend,
okay? We were kidding around.

I didn't know that there were
any jurors on the elevator.

And besides, I'm in recovery

so I'm not really
responsible sometimes.

Are we done? 'Cause
I'm gonna be late for class.

[Dramatic music]

So, Joe Gibson's
insurance company..

Yeah?

Involves him visiting nursing
homes all around the mid-west.

To spread the security of
a well-planned retirement.

He sells deferred annuities
from a reliable company.

That doesn't sound so bad.

Yeah, but I did
some calling around.

Turns out when he shows
up to meet with these people

he abruptly switches
financial products

and sells them a
supposedly better one.

Ah, but it's not better.

Forty percent early
withdrawal penalty, anyone?

Daddy steals from
little old ladies.

Technically, but not legally.

This guy's really good
at keeping his nose clean.

On the bright side, I looked
into Kaitlin's school records.

She's not a rich kid,
academic scholarship.

That's nice, but how
does that help us find her?

It's mid-term week
at the university.

- She might skip court..
- But she won't skip a mid-term.

(Kaitlin) I helped Bryce
with the poker games.

- Helped him cheat?
- I knew about it.

It seemed wrong for me to
protest when I was a part of it.

How big a part?

I'd meet new players and
I'd bring them over to play.

- Like recruiting?
- In a way.

That's how Connor and I met.

He was such a sweet guy.

Did you have feelings for him?

Bryce found out.
That's why we broke up.

He said if Connor and I
ever got together, he'd kill him.

And you believed him.

You know what he's capable of.

Did you tell Connor
that you'd broken up?

He found out. He
was all over me.

But then I got
really scared for him,

and I panicked and I lied.
I made up this story that I..

That I got kicked out of school
because I was behind on tuition.

I just thought that..

That if I pushed him
away I could protect him.

And do you know
what he does for me?

- What?
- He robs a bank.

Do you know what that's like?
To have someone do that for you?

- Why did you keep the money?
- I was in shock.

All this happened
based on a stupid lie.

And before I could
figure out how

to handle it, he was arrested.

But I did tell him the truth
when he got out on bail.

I told him about the lie, about
cheating, about everything.

How did he take it?

Well..

Actually, that's..

That's when we got together.

- You slept with him?
- It just happened.

I just think 'cause everything
was out in the open.

We were going to return the
money and confess to the police.

He was still a bank robber.
He was still going to jail.

We knew that. But we had a plan.

To come clean with
everybody, to start over.

That's why he wanted
to go to Bryce's.

To tell him he knew
about the cheating.

And then he wanted to
tell Bryce face-to-face that

he was in love with me.

And he never came back.

I begged him not to go. But
he promised me that everything

would turn out fine if
we just told the truth.

This thing better
work with my dish.

Come on. The fight
starts at 3:00, let's go.

Looks heavy.

Maybe you should take
a break and set it down.

He said nobody gave
him any money, but..

There's more ways then
cash to a college boy's heart.

So, I got him with
the TV, not much else.

You don't know
where it came from?

Tracked it, but it
was a cash sale.

- Does he know that?
- Nope.

That's good.

We know who gave
you that television.

Nobody gave it to
me, I bought it myself.

With what?

Your checking
account has a $ 65 high

for the past three months.

The store came
up with the receipt.

And the guy who
bought it for you is

gonna be booked on
obstruction of justice charges.

You're next.

You're bluffing.

- What makes you so sure?
- I'm beyond sure.

If you want anything
from me, I want a promise

that I'm not gonna be
charged with anything.

We'll think about it.

And I also don't want my
parents to find out, either.

I'm in enough trouble as it is.

Let's see if it checks out.

You said some "guy."

It wasn't a guy.

- It was a woman.
- Who?

Gibson's mom.

She told me if I lied
in front of some jurors

there'd be a TV waiting for me

bought and paid for.

So you alone today?

Yeah, Jessie went
up to notre dame.

By herself?

That's the way she
likes to do things.

What's her mom think about this?

She thinks I'm trying to
steal her away from her.

But you're not.

You know, the way
that kid is all over

the place these days, i'm
thinking maybe I should.

Where are we with
Patricia Gibson?

We've got pace's confession,
we got the plasma TV

but we don't have a
receipt leading directly to her

so we're getting
a search warrant.

- What about her work?
- Works at home.

Runs a non-profit that
steers kids into college.

What kind of kids?

Kids having trouble
in high school.

Maybe she could give
me a couple pointers.

Yeah, you could use them.

It's not my fault one of
your witnesses lied in court.

No, but Scott pace didn't
lie in court, he lied after.

In front of jurors, and
that was your fault.

I have to say,
looking around here

your organization seems
to exist on paper only.

Oh, no, those contain
confidential student records.

Really? They look like
financial records to me.

You applying for a
federal Grant? $500,000?

That's a whole lot of Grant.

[Dramatic music]

So, way back when
they got divorced

the Gibsons had a successful
vitamin supply business.

Where's the
bankruptcy come from?

That's the beauty part.

They get divorced, he
transfers all his assets

to his ex-wife in the settlement

and then declares bankruptcy.

You think they divorced
for convenience?

They're not exactly
ozzie and Harriet.

More like Bonnie and Clyde.

We might have an answer as to
where the gambling profits went.

Okay.

It's just a theory, but, uh

take a look at
these bank records.

How many non-profits do you know

regularly take in $6,000,
$7,000 in donations

that get deposited like clock
work on Monday morning?

Right after the poker weekend.

So Joe Gibson helps
his kid cheat at cards

and then his kid
sends the profits over

to mom to hide in
her fake business.

Which also makes
mom look legit on paper

so that she can apply

for a half million
dollar federal Grant.

Your average American family.

With a whole lot to lose when
their son commits a murder.

Illegal gambling,
fraudulent non-profit

covering up a murder

that's quite a list.

I haven't done anything wrong.

As we speak, your son is
making a deal to put you away.

I thought you might
want to spread the love.

He wouldn't do such a thing.

But that's how you
raised him, isn't it?

Look out for number one. I've
got mine, now give me yours.

He'll be the star
witness at your trial.

We know you had nothing
to do with hiding the body.

So why am I here?

The matters of illegal
gambling bilking senior citizens..

'It was your wife who tampered
with the witness, wasn't it?'

you wouldn't do
something like that.

So why go away for it?

- It was all Joe's doing.
- I thought he was out of town.

In Illinois, an hour away.

I called him when
I got to Bryce's

there was this dead boy.

And Joe said, "go to dinner."

Get out of the house,
he would take care

of everything, and he did.

Your mom and dad aren't
really divorced, are they?

That's ridiculous.

The three of you lived and
worked together as a family.

Only not one anyone
on the outside could see.

You can't prove this.

We have a direct connection

from your client's
illegal gaming

to his mother's
fraudulent business.

I'm proposing you a deal
for voluntary manslaughter.

Ten years for something
he didn't even do?

I'm not done. We'll take
off two years if you testify

to your mother's
role in the cover-up

and another two for your father.

Let me ask you this

you ever wonder why
your dad used your car

to dump the body,
instead of his own?

I wanted to call
the cops, alright?

My mom said no.

Connor came over to tell me
that he and Kaitlin were together.

I told him I didn't care.

And then he said he would tell
everybody about the card game.

About the cheating.

And that's when
the fight started.

I grabbed him around his
neck, and the next thing I know..

He's on the floor.

It was an accident.

That may be, Mr. Gibson,
but your actions

that followed were not.

The defendants are
remanded to the state's custody

for the term set forth in
their plea agreements.

[Gavel banging]

[Dramatic music]

This has been a
nice trip. I like it here.

Does that mean you made
a decision about school?

I'm going to Boston.

Oh.

Good.

Well, you made the right choice.

Yeah, I had a wake-up call
with notre dame this morning.

Oh, yeah? How so?

They took one look
at my recent grades

and put me on a waiting list.

Well, I hope this motivates
you to get your act together.

Academically speaking.

Obviously, I can do better.

Well, for the record, Jessica,
it's been great having you here.

And I just wish that, um..

Remember, when you moved here

you promised to
visit every month.

Yeah.

How many times
have you come to visit?

Twice.

Maybe you should get
your act together on that.

Well, obviously,
I can do better.

[Mellow music]

Hey, congratulations.

Six years for Gibson,
four years for each parent.

- Triple play.
- I had a lot of help.

Hey, where's Jessie? I
wanted to say good-bye.

Oh, you missed her. I
just drove her to the airport.

So what's the verdict?

- Bc, Boston college.
- That must be a relief.

- That's not a relief?
- I don't know.

I guess, I'm worried about her..

All the trouble college kids
seem to get into these days.

Tell me about it.

Kind of liked having
her here, you know.

You know, when
my parents split up

and my dad left the house

I started dating
a race car driver.

What?

It was for, like, a
month, and he was

a teenage race
car driver, little cars.

But that sure got
my dad's attention.

You think that's
what this is about?

I think they're
always testing us

right from the beginning.

Well, that might explain
the constant sense of failure.

- How old is Haley?
- Nineteen months.

Yeah, well, you
should know then, right?

Alright, I gotta
get home to that.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

Oh, by the way..

Not one word to
Maureen about the..

The race car driver?

Oh, don't worry, I'm
saving that for later.
