[Man singing]

[Indistinct chattering on radio]

(Male #1) 'Ma'am, do you
know who did this to you?'

(female #1) 'Wait. Gotta go.'

we don't want her
going into shock.

Is this who attacked you?

Is he the one?

'Ma'am, is this the
person that attacked you?'

[whispers] Yes.

She ID'd one of her sons?

Eric Murphy, who insists he
was at his apartment sleeping.

Campus surveillance
tapes say otherwise.

Caught his Jeep
coming and going.

- Any signs of forced entry?
- Nope.

How'd she ID him? I thought
she was on death's door.

She is.

According to the
cops and paramedics

Mrs. Murphy wanted
to identify him.

She was clearheaded
enough to do it.

She was the one who called 911?

Took rescue ten
minutes to get there

and she was still conscious.

- Weapon?
- Commando knife.

Seven-inch blade,
left at the scene.

Father was stabbed 27 times.

Mother half that.
Blood everywhere.

- Anything in the Jeep?
- Immaculate.

There's not a speck
of blood anywhere

on, near or leading
to Eric Murphy.

How's that possible?

Crime techs found a
print on the bedroom door

not belonging to
anybody in the family.

- How does that help us?
- It doesn't.

Kid kills his dad,
tries to kill his mom.

This is just the kinda
juicy case conlon needs

to launch his bid
for Attorney General.

- You better not mess it up.
- Mr. Murphy is innocent.

I did not kill my dad.

I didn't. Or attack my mom?

That's not what
your mother said.

Mrs. Murphy
sustained grave injury.

She was cogent when
the police questioned her.

She was in extremis.

I could find ten expert
witnesses that will testify

in light of the blood loss,
it's a physical impossibility

Mrs. Murphy knew
what she was saying.

Paramedics who were on the
scene will swear it's possible.

We won't have to
pay them to testify.

You're basing your entire case

on a statement made
by a dying woman?

Where were you when
your parents were attacked?

My apartment, sleeping.

Not according to
campus security.

[Dramatic music]

I've got a bunch
of parking tickets

so I can't park overnight
on campus anymore.

I parked a few blocks away
and walked back to my apartment.

None of the surveillance tapes
show you walking back on campus.

That's because there aren't
cameras at every entrance.

I could show you
where I walk back on.

You didn't walk, you drove
back the next morning.

(Male #2) 'As the tape shows'

my client picked up his Jeep in
the morning on his way to class

'macroeconomics at 8.'

must've been hard to
focus on supply and demand

after stabbing your father
to death four hours earlier.

I didn't do it. I swear.

I-I did not kill my dad
or-or hurt my mom.

Ms. Chase, please..

Please let me see my
mom one more time.

- She's dying.
- Because of you.

You're not going to the hospital
to see your mother, Mr. Murphy.

You're going to jail.

- You know what happens now?
- I bare my soul.

Your soul you could hold on to.

It's your skeletons
I'll need to meet.

Oh, well, not much there.

Just your everyday,
run-of-the-mill skeletons.

Come on, you're
paying me a lotta money

to be your new best friend.

You're my campaign manager.

And I need to know
everything about you.

All details, this life
and the one before it.

And maybe the one before that.

Maybe I shouldn't run
for Attorney General.

Hey, now is the time.
The incumbent is retiring.

It's now or never.

- Come on, it'll be fun.
- Easy for you to say.

Why do you think i'm
the face behind the face?

Too many skeletons?

[Dramatic music]

No comment.

Think they're here
to cover my bid?

Best guess.

Eric Murphy's defense
attorney tipped them off.

Now you earn your money.

Good morning, folks.
Prosecutor's office is not..

(James) 'No wonder
the press is all over this.'

public loves Gore.

Mr. Murphy's throat was slashed.

Mrs. Murphy was
attacked in a similar fashion.

Stabbed repeatedly.
It was a bloodbath.

All this blood and no forensic
evidence on Eric Murphy?

He had time to go somewhere
and shower after the attack.

Not his apartment. We took
the drains apart, they're clean.

There's no blood in
his apartment or his car?

Not a trace.

But Murphy worked
in a clean room

for a computer company that
manufactures silicon chips.

- Clean room?
- Yeah.

You gotta wear
some protective gear

because of the
sensitivity of the equipment

like a biohazard suit.

If he's smart
enough to wear this

he's certainly smart enough
to destroy it immediately.

We're looking anyway.
But nothing's turned up.

What about that stray
print on the bedroom door?

Cops ran it through the system,
didn't get anything back yet.

- Tell me the good news.
- No alibi.

With the surveillance tape

we can create a
persuasive timeline.

His own mother identified
him as the assailant.

Maybe we should be looking
outside the family, huh?

Mr. Murphy was a
corporate attorney.

So far, his cases
look run-of-the-mill.

No debt to speak of,
no signs of infidelity.

There's a younger brother,
Ben, lives in Chicago.

The police are looking
into his whereabouts now.

The guys in homicide
are hard on Eric Murphy.

They think they
got the right guy.

What about a motive?

Why would Eric
attack his parents?

Maybe the younger
brother can shed some light

on the family dynamics.

As soon as he
provides us with an alibi.

Her breathing was agonal
when she first arrived.

And her pupils were
bilaterally fixed and dilated.

I'm sorry, I need you
to translate. Agonal?

Agonal breathing is
essentially a death rattle.

'The state of her
pupils indicated hypoxia'

lack of oxygen to the brain.

Will she live?

- It's a long shot.
- And if she does?

(Female #2) 'There might be permanent
brain damage. She lost a lotta blood.'

we don't know what her
condition will be if she wakes up

which she probably won't.

- I have other patients to see.
- Thank you, doctor.

- I'm Ben Murphy.
- Maureen Scofield.

We spoke on the phone.

Are you up to answering
a few questions?

Uh... just not-not too long,
in case my mother wakes up.

[Intense music]

Are you close to
your mom and dad?

Close? I-I don't
know. I-I love them.

Um... my dad and I
had a lot in common.

We, uh, we saw the
world the same way.

And the night your
parents were attacked?

I was in Chicago

in a room with 50
other telemarketers

who can confirm that I
didn't murder my father.

Can you imagine how that felt?
Two cops knock on your door.

They tell you your dad's
dead, your mom's dying.

They wanna know where you
were on the night it happened.

What about Eric? How does
he get along with your folks?

Eric's closer to my
mom. A lot closer.

He always has been.

He and my dad didn't...
They didn't really get along.

- And why is that?
- 'Money, mostly.'

Eric always thought my parents
should support him totally.

Pay for his car, his
clothes, his school

everything on a silver platter.

Could your dad and Eric have had

a recent fight
about his finances?

I have no idea.

I-I try to avoid my brother
as much as possible.

I mean, we don't, we don't
exactly have a lot in common.

I mean, look at me.

I drive a '98 Toyota,
I work for a living

and I'm putting
myself through college.

Look, I need to
get back to the icu.

Do you think your brother
could have murdered your father?

Eric's a sociopath.

He can look you
right in the eye and lie

and you'd never know it.

Are you gonna ask me to
testify against my brother?

Right now, I'm just trying to
find out more about your family.

My family doesn't exist anymore.

[Clamoring]

Yeah, he's a hell of a player.

All-conference his
sophomore year.

Exceptional kid.

Did you ever hear Eric
talk about his parents?

Like what?

Anything that would
indicate he was angry at them.

Uh, no way.

I only saw him
interacting with his mom.

Two of them got along real good.

She always had his back.

How do you mean?

He missed some practices

and there was talk about
yanking his scholarship.

Mrs. Murphy presented
a medical excuse

to explain Eric's absences.

She sorted it out and
saved the scholarship.

- Was Eric sick?
- Not like sick-sick.

It was some sort
of a spinal thing.

L4 or l5 compressed vertebrae.

I guess acts up in damp weather.

I mean, it's common
with athletes.

I'll bet.

Murphy had a partial
lacrosse scholarship

that almost went south.
Too many missed practices.

Still, a star athlete with a
3.2 gpa and no police record.

We checked with his doctors.

None of them can
confirm a spinal injury.

Back pain's easy to fake.

I faked the stomach
flu once to go fly fishing.

Doesn't make me a murderer.

What did our search
warrant turn up?

Ray's looking at the
Murphys' computers.

We checked out
the extended family

and found something interesting.

Mrs. Murphy's brother-in-law
is Philip deshayes.

- Why do I know that name?
- Money launderer and racketeer.

Rumored to be connected
to the Chicago outfit.

Alleged money launderer.

The feds have been after
him for years. No luck.

- Does he have an alibi?
- Was in New York that night.

The police have an
active file on deshayes.

Nothing to suggest motive.

Marinelli's gonna use the
alternate suspect theory

to vilify this office.

He's already
saying we're denying

a son a bedside farewell
with his dying mother.

That's the privilege you lose
when you murder your dad.

You seen the blog
devoted to Eric's innocence?

Of course there's a blog. He
plays the charm card perfectly.

(Maureen) He's probably getting
many letters from lonely women

offering to marry him.

I'm going to allow Eric
Murphy to visit his mother.

I'm sorry, did Peter
durkin advise you to do this

for political reasons 'cause
it helps your campaign?

He's still under arrest.

He'll have 15 minutes,
the cuffs will be off.

For the photo op?

(Annabeth) You're
cutting a murderer slack

because he has the
public's sympathy.

I'm allowing it to show
the public that this office

'can be compassionate
when it needs to be.'

now, you find me a motive

and I'll arraign Eric
Murphy in a heartbeat.

The Sony 52-inch TV was
bought three months ago

on Mr. Murphy's
money buddy account.

Illegally.

Maybe dad gave him his password?

Doubt it.

'In his e-mail, Mr. Murphy
threatens to go to the police.'

the kid breaks his dad's code,
buys a bunch of fancy equipment

then gets pissed off when
his father calls him out?

He wasn't just calling him
on it. He cut off the money.

'Mr. Murphy wasn't
gonna pay for anything'

'for his son's last
year at the university.'

'instead, he got his
spoiled kid a part-time job'

as a file clerk at a law firm, a
paper pusher at 8.75 an hour.

- Dad's sword came down.
- Like a hammer.

And mom?

Promises to protect
him... No matter what.

So, his father was
cutting him off financially.

Parents cut off the
cash flow all the time.

It's a rite of passage. Kids
get mad, then they get a job.

Eric's father found him
one, but he didn't want it.

Thought murder was an appealing
alternative to minimum wage.

How does that put
money in his pocket?

Mr. Murphy had a two million
dollar life insurance policy.

Eric is the beneficiary?

Elizabeth Murphy
is the beneficiary.

Oh, so we have a double motive.

He kills his father
'cause he's mad at him

but he's gotta kill both
parents to get the money.

The insurance is our
motive. He's our guy.

He's paying his
respects as we speak.

[Dramatic music]

[Beeping]

- You need to come with us.
- What the hell?

You're charged with the murder
of your father, Charles Murphy

and the attempted murder of
your mother Elizabeth Murphy.

- If she dies, we'll amend that.
- Ms. Chase... Thank you.

For what?

For letting me see
her one last time.

Thank you for that.

[Dramatic music]

Most of Indianapolis thinks
we've arrested the wrong guy.

Ray located a burger
stand on the highway

between the university
and the Murphys' house.

They served Eric
about 4 A.M. that night.

The drive time dovetails with
the campus surveillance tape.

He stopped for fries?

It's not easy
killing your parents.

You work up quite an appetite.

Trust me, under this charming
exterior, he's cold as ice.

Mrs. Murphy's come
out of her coma.

She wants to speak to annabeth.

She's lucid?

Weak, but lucid.

Mrs. Murphy.

My name is annabeth chase.

I'm the prosecuting attorney
in charge of the criminal case.

I'm so sorry for your loss

and for all the injuries
you've suffered.

Thank you for coming.

I can't imagine how
difficult this must be

but with your testimony...

My son is innocent.

- Your son Eric?
- Eric.

The paramedics and the police

believe you were
alert and cogent

and they all heard you
identify Eric as your attacker.

I can't... I can't remember much

about what happened that night.

But... i know it wasn't Eric.

Mrs. Murphy, if
you can't remember

how can you be
sure it wasn't Eric?

Because I know.

'I know it wasn't Eric.'

he loves me.

And he's loving, kind.

'He couldn't have.'

My son... Is not a murderer.

I didn't coach her, if that's
what you're suggesting.

Then why'd she
change her statement?

She was in shock
when she identified him.

I'm convinced I
have the guilty party.

I'll put Elizabeth on the stand.
She'll nullify her declaration.

- I'm not dropping the charges.
- Annabeth.

The mother just said
her son didn't do it.

You need to take that
seriously and consider who did.

And I suppose you have
an alternate suspect?

Phil deshayes. Mrs.
Murphy's brother-in-law.

The police already talked
to him. He has an alibi.

- He could've hired it done.
- For what reason?

And the random
fingerprint inside

the Murphy house
supports that theory.

No, it doesn't,
deshayes has no motive.

Eric is innocent and you're
not looking at other suspects.

- The cops have the right guy.
- You know what, annabeth?

I'm not a prosecutor anymore.

'I don't have to
solve the murder.'

I just need to
mention the fingerprint

dangle the name deshayes
in front of an Indianapolis jury.

That and the mom's recantation?

Reasonable doubt... Times two.

She can't remember the attack

or anything leading
up to, during or after.

But she's certain
Eric is innocent.

Mother's love. My son's
good, my son is kind.

He wouldn't try to
kill me, he loves me.

He couldn't have done
it, therefore he didn't do it.

Very circular.

You have any connections
with the state police?

If I need to, yeah.

Marinelli is promoting
deshayes as a suspect b.

- How is he a viable suspect?
- He's not.

He's marinelli's red herring.

Deshayes hired a
hit man and this office

won't even investigate
the possibility.

Does he have anything
to support his theory?

The complete lack
of forensic evidence.

Lack of evidence? That's novel.

It suggests a professional hit.

No DNA at the scene

and how'd the killer
deal with the blood?

Wouldn't gunshots to the head

be more in keeping
with a professional hit?

Why would deshayes
wanna hurt the Murphys?

No reason, but we'll still
have to counter his story.

Want me to bring deshayes in?

I wanna wait until I
know more about him.

Let me make some calls.

Maybe the younger brother knows
something about our shady uncle.

Quite a shrine to your brother.

Yeah, that's my mom's doing.

I think there's a picture
of me on the refrigerator.

How do you feel about
your mom's statement

that your brother is innocent?

How do I feel?
How would you feel?

'She's still...
After everything'

she's standing behind
him and insisting

Eric's the son she wants,
not the one that she has.

How is your mom's relationship
with her brother-in-law?

Uncle Phil? My mom doesn't
have a relationship with uncle Phil.

He... my dad flat-out hated him.

Why?

Well, he, he launders cash

for, for drug cartels or
gangsters or something.

'That's, that's the
family story anyway.'

it's all about easy money with
uncle Phil. My dad hated that.

He respected people who
worked for what they want.

- Like you?
- Like me, yeah.

Eric, Eric loves it, though.

He thinks uncle Phil's
lifestyle is just the coolest thing.

Did deshayes ever
threaten your parents?

Why would he? They... They
hardly ever saw each other.

The only person who ever had
much contact with him was Eric.

Look, my parents, my
parents weren't criminals.

They didn't, they
didn't have secrets.

They were just... They
were just normal people

doing normal things.

Were your parents ever
victims of a previous crime?

Our house was broken into once.

I think a laptop was stolen and,
uh, some of my mom's jewelry.

- It was... Nothing major.
- Did the police make an arrest?

If they did, nobody told me.

Sorry for the delay. Russell
retired two years ago.

Couldn't find his notes.

Why didn't anything
come up in the database?

The burglary was
three years ago.

There were no
formal charges filed.

But Eric Murphy did it
alright, no doubt about it.

Rocket scientist even tried to
sell the stolen laptop on eBay.

- Hello.
- Why wasn't he charged?

Russell said he would've
been if Mr. Murphy had his way.

Wanted to teach Eric a
lesson, have him arrested.

But?

Ms. Murphy said it
was a misunderstanding.

- A misunderstanding?
- 'Yeah.'

she said she gave the kid

permission to sell the computer

and forgot to tell the husband.

After the wife
covered for the kid

there was nothing
Russell could do.

Back window broken.

Footprint found in flower bed

under the window
matched suspect's sneaker.

Yeah, there was a series of
robberies in the neighborhood.

Two eyewitnesses
ID'd the real burglar

as a heavyset guy in his 30s.

- Not Eric Murphy?
- No.

The mo for the Murphy
break-in didn't match.

The real burglar went in
through open doors, windows.

- He never broke in.
- Eric Murphy staged a robbery.

Yeah, that was Russell's take.

'Said he remembered
the kid well.'

said he was nice,
quiet, charming..

And he lied through
his teeth the whole time.

[Intense music]

I wanna thank everyone
for their well wishes

and prayers for
me and my family.

Uh, your... Your
wishes and support

helped me through
a difficult time.

'I want everyone to know'

especially the
prosecuting attorney's office

that my son did not attack me

'and that the police have
arrested the wrong person.'

the morning that my
husband was murdered..

There was a note left on
the windshield of my car

with a copy of a photo of
my family with a red line..

Through our necks like a knife.

We were being stalked..

[Camera clicks]

threatened.

(Female #3) 'Why?
Who would threaten you?'

(female #4) 'Are you
talking about Phil deshayes?'

'was it Phil deshayes?'

I-I don't know why... Who.

But please, Eric is innocent.

'He would never do
this. He didn't do this.'

he could never do this.

The Murphys are victims

of a heinous crime Eric
Murphy did not commit.

'We ask the prosecuting
attorney's office'

to drop these charges.

We ask the Indianapolis
police department

to reopen their
investigation... Immediately.

The first time I
spoke with Elizabeth

she said nothing about
her family being threatened.

That only happened
after she recanted

and we didn't drop the charges.

She escalates her tactics every
time we refuse to back down.

Where is this threatening note?

She said she gave
it to her husband

and he was gonna
report the incident

but the police have
nothing on record

and Mrs. Murphy can't find it.

- Yeah, that's convenient.
- She fabricated the note.

The e-mail she
sent to Eric that night

said she'd always protect
him and she meant it.

She intervened with the board
on his lacrosse scholarship

lied to the cops to get him
off the hook on the theft.

She'd do anything to
keep Eric outta prison.

She's lying again to
get the charges dropped.

The press was asking
her about deshayes.

Yeah, I'm meeting
him this afternoon.

- 'Stay away from Eric.'
- 'Or what?'

(Mr. Murphy on speaker) 'I know what I know.
Stay away from Eric or you'll regret it.'

if you're trying to intimidate
my client, save it, Ms. Chase.

He's a busy man.
We've got a 2 o'clock.

Why was Charles
Murphy threatening you?

Why did it take
you so long to ask?

I'm sorry?

My phone's been
tapped for two years.

I knew I had half of the Indiana
state troopers listening in.

You have me on tape being
threatened by a dead guy.

I just thought the
prosecutor's office

would connect the dots faster.

He says he knows
things about you.

- What things, Mr. Deshayes?
- Oh, probably nasty rumors.

Have you heard any
nasty rumors about me?

Like what?

Libelous allegations

about my putative profession.

Libelous because they've
never been proven?

Not that law enforcement
hasn't tried over the years.

Why did Charles Murphy want
you to stay away from his son?

He didn't approve
of my lifestyle.

He wanted to teach his son
the, quote, value of money

and virtues of hard work,
end quote. What the hell?

So, I'm not the poster boy
for the puritan work ethic.

When was the last time
you saw your nephew?

(Deshayes) 'Two days before
his father was murdered.'

you didn't know about his
visit? I bet the defense does.

- Why did he come see you?
- He needed a job.

His father found him
some minimum wage deal

but Eric was looking for
something more... Stimulating.

And did you have
something for him?

My business isn't
hiring at the moment.

And Eric lacks the necessary
skill set for my line of work.

You may wanna reconsider
your assessment of Eric

after what he did
to your in-laws.

I think the jury's still
out on that one, isn't it?

Mrs. Murphy claims a
note was left on her car

the night before the attack.

Do you know anything about that?

Not the way I do business.

Good luck with the trial.

You did an exceptional
job with the Rooney case.

- You been following my career?
- You never know.

Maybe one day you'll be
prosecuting my murderer.

(Annabeth) 'Or maybe one
day I'll be prosecuting you.'

[intense music]

[Upbeat music]

Mr. Jackson, could you tell the
jury how you know Eric Murphy?

I trained him last summer when
he worked with me in the ic lab.

- And what's an ic lab?
- Integrated circuit.

Silicone chips is how
most people think of them.

How long did Eric
Murphy work there?

He quit right after
he finished training.

'Said he didn't
care for the job.'

(Maureen) 'What was he doing?'

shipping and packaging
memory modules.

Well, that doesn't
sound so difficult.

The modules are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge.

'Static electricity.'

'if a person isn't wearing
protective clothing'

they can destroy a chip by
walking within 12 inches of it.

Protective clothing?

Gloves, a hood
that covers the hair

and, basically, a biohazard suit

that covers you
from head to toe.

People's 12, your honor.

Is this the suit
you're talking about?

- Yes.
- Is this suit disposable?

Used once and discarded.

(Maureen) 'You
keep track of them?'

if someone wants to
walk around outside the lab

in a biohazard suit,
have at it. They're cheap.

Could Eric Murphy have
taken one of those suits?

Absolutely.

'Thank you.'

how long ago did he work there?

Nearly a year.

Did you ever see Eric leave work

with one of these suits?

No.

Did he return
there after he quit?

No, sir.

Nothing further.

(Maureen) 'As a paramedic'

how do you determine a
person's level of awareness?

If they're alert and
oriented times three

it means, one, they
know their name

two, they know where they are,
and three, they know their age.

If they remember these things
they're a and o times three.

A and o meaning
alert and oriented?

Correct.

(Maureen) 'Mrs. Murphy
when you were attending her?'

alert and oriented times three.

It's the highest
level of awareness?

'Yes.'

when Mrs. Murphy
identified her son

Eric Murphy as her attacker?

A and o times three.

No further
questions, your honor.

What causes a person to become
alert and oriented times two?

- Or times one?
- A lack of oxygen to the brain.

Brain cells become
ischemic. They start to die.

How is oxygen
carried to the brain?

Via the blood.

So when a person
loses a lot of blood

'they're losing oxygen
to the brain as well?'

correct, sir.

How much blood
had Mrs. Murphy lost

when you arrived on scene?

Two liters, approximately.

How much blood is in the
average woman's body?

Four and a half liters.

So Mrs. Murphy had lost

nearly half of her blood?

Half... of the precious liquid

'which carries
oxygen to her brain'

and yet she was still,
how do you say it?

A and o times three?

When we arrived, yes, sir.

And by the time you
got to the hospital?

She lost consciousness.

'Alert and oriented times three'

minus two liters of blood.

Seems like a miracle.

Actually... it seems
medically impossible.

- It's not.
- But then, you're not a doctor.

You're a paramedic.

Yes, sir.

No further questions.

Your honor, may I redirect?

Proceed.

Have you witnessed
other incidents

in which a person has
been severely injured

and is still conscious,
still alert and oriented?

- Absolutely.
- How does this happen?

An adrenaline rush happens
when the patient knows something

they need to tell
before they die.

Like Mrs. Murphy?

She had something
she desperately

wanted to communicate to us.

And what did she communicate?

That her son, Eric
Murphy, killed her husband

and tried to kill her.

Thank you.

- Why wasn't I invited?
- You were.

But durkin says
neither one of you

ponied up a dime
for my campaign.

Conflict of interest.

Winning cases is
contributing, right?

Speaking of it, nice
work today, mau.

Marinelli leads
with Eric tomorrow.

It's risky. But tells
the jury he's confident.

Eric will lie convincingly
on the stand.

This case is gonna boil down
to the mother's testimony.

- She'll bring up the note.
- Which she can't produce.

And when she weeps and insists

her son is innocent and
breaks the jury's hearts?

(Annabeth) 'She can't
remember the attack.'

her assertion that
Eric didn't do it

is an irrelevant supposition.
She wants to believe that.

She needs to believe he
didn't do it. The truth's hideous.

Stress the fact that
she hasn't produced

the note that
threatened her family

will help sell she's
lying to protect her son.

So, basically, what I have to do

is discredit the
victim of the crime

who's already been through hell.

Basically.

[Instrumental music]

Can you describe your
relationship with your father?

(Eric) Difficult sometimes.

I felt I was letting him down

whenever I didn't get a
great grade or something.

My father was... He
was a remarkable man.

He just did
everything really well.

And I tried to make him proud.

I'm sure you did. You've
accomplished a lot in your life.

- I don't see it that way.
- You're too modest.

All conference lacrosse

scholarship to
college, good grades.

Not everyone can list
these achievements.

Does counselor have a question?

Did you kill your father, Eric?

God, no.

I couldn't hurt him.

'I couldn't hurt
either of my parents.'

I would do anything
to have him back.

I loved my father.

I just hope that he knew it.

No further
questions, your honor.

Mr. Murphy, can you tell me

where you were
that night at 4 A.M.?

In my apartment sleeping.

I had an economics
exam in the morning.

Can you explain why two people

'working at a fast food
chain on the highway'

'to your parents' house
have sworn under oath'

that you purchased and
ate a hamburger at 4 A.M.

'The night your
father was murdered?'

well, they're just wrong.

I didn't. It wasn't me.

Your honor, may I approach?

This better be worthy of
the interruption, Mr. Marinelli.

I assure your honor, it is.

New evidence has come to light.

Mrs. Murphy has found the
note that threatened her family.

[Phone ringing]

We need to prove
she fabricated the note.

What about Internet cafes?
It was a digital rendering.

She must have printed
it out somewhere.

Ray's checking, nothing so far.

[Elevator dings]

What do I do?

Brace yourself for Mrs.
Murphy's testimony.

There won't be a
dry eye in the house.

The defense calls Elizabeth
Murphy to the stand.

I know you're still recovering,
so I'm going to go slowly.

Thank you. It is difficult
for me to hold my thoughts.

So, if I get lost, let me know.

Will do.

Who is Phil deshayes?

My brother-in-law,
my sister's husband.

What does he do for a living?

He launders money for
drug runners and criminals.

Objection.

Mr. Deshayes has never

been arrested or
charged with crime.

'According to his
most recent tax returns'

he runs a chain
of auto body shops.

Sustained.

(Marinelli) 'Do you
recognize this?'

it was, uh, on my...
Car the morning before..

Charles was murdered.

Did it scare you?

Well, whoever left it
knew where we lived.

And he was watching us.

When do you think it was taken?

Last summer at a family reunion.

(Marinelli) 'Was
Mr. Deshayes at that reunion?'

with my sister, yes.

I started thinking..

Thinking what?

That perhaps Philip
deshayes was somehow..

Involved with the threat.

I asked my husband to
report the note to the police.

And did he?

He was killed before
he had a chance.

Mrs. Murphy, do you believe
your son Eric is responsible

'for your husband's death?'

- 'no.'
- for your injuries?

No. No.

(Marinelli) 'But you
identified him to the police'

and the paramedics
as your assailant.

I don't remember that.

'I don't remember
anything from that night.'

I know with absolute certainty

that Eric was not the
person who hurt me or..

Or who killed Charles.

- I know that.
- 'Objection, your honor.'

she said she doesn't remember
anything about the attack.

How can she say with certainty
Eric didn't murder her husband?

My son would never hurt anyone.

Mrs. Murphy, please answer
the questions, nothing else.

Why are you doing
this to my son?

When you know full well what
Philip deshayes is capable of.

- Your honor.
- The jury will disregard.

[Intense music]

The killer on his
way to a killing.

I just can't prove it.

The computer techs
haven't found any evidence.

That picture was on
Mrs. Murphy's computer.

It's not on any of
the digital cameras

the police confiscated
from the house.

If she faked it, she used
a shot from another source

and had it copied
outside her home.

- Meaning we'll never find it.
- Probably not.

I can't empathize
with Mrs. Murphy

but I can sympathize with her.

I'd do anything for Haley.

Anything?

How about going home?

Point taken.

[Instrumental music]

[Intense music]

Mrs. Murphy, will you
please describe to the jury

where you found the note?

It was under the
windshield wiper of my car.

Was it in an envelope?

Yes, folded in
three like a letter.

Folded in a way to
make it fit in an envelope?

Mrs. Murphy, can you please

take a look at this exhibit?

Is this the note you found

under the windshield
wiper of your car?

- Yes.
- And the envelope it came in?

- Yes.
- And when did you find it?

The morning of the
day that my husband

was murdered and I was attacked.

I asked him to
take it to the police.

Your honor, I'd
like to enter reports

from the national weather
service that detail rainfall

the week Mr. Murphy
was murdered.

- Objection, irrelevant.
- I'll allow it.

It rained the night
Mr. Murphy was murdered.

In fact, it rained
steadily that whole week.

'If the letter was delivered
in the manner she claims'

at the time she says it was,
there would be water damage

on the envelope...
From the rain.

Do you see any water damage
on that envelope, Mrs. Murphy?

- No.
- In fact, it's quite pristine.

It shows no signs of exposure
to the elements, does it?

You fabricated that note.

'Didn't you, Mrs. Murphy?'

- objection, argumentative.
- Overruled.

'You fabricated that to
make it look like someone'

was threatening your
family, but the truth is

you're lying to protect your son

like you always lie
to protect your son.

- Objection, arguing the facts.
- Sustained.

You didn't find this
note on your windshield

did you, Mrs. Murphy?

Maybe it was somewhere else.

I-I have trouble keeping
things in-in order.

'Maybe it wasn't
under the wiper'

the mailbox... I-I
can't remember.

(Annabeth) 'You take your time.'

you said you found it on
the windshield of your car

both today and
earlier to the press.

Was it on the windshield
or in the mailbox?

You-you're speaking too
quickly. C-Can you ask me again?

Where did you find the note?

Everything is so
confusing since the attack.

- Where was the note?
- I don't remember.

You said very clearly
two minutes ago

you found it on your windshield.

- Were you lying?
- Eric?

He can't help you,
Mrs. Murphy, I'm sorry.

Eric.

And you can't
protect him anymore.

Eric, please.

Sit down, Mrs. Murphy.

[Whispering] You have
the wrong person. You do.

According to the
evidence, we don't.

No further
questions, your honor.

'On the count of murder..'

'...we find the
defendant, Eric Murphy..'

guilty.

[Bangs gavel]

No. No!

No! Eric.

'Eric?'

mom, mom, what,
what is wrong with you?

He killed my father,
he tried to kill you.

Face it!

No, no, Ben.

No, you stop protecting him!

He took everything
from you. Including me.

[Instrumental music]

She'll never face the truth.

Could you admit
you raised a monster?

I guess you never really know
how far you'd go for your child.

I don't.

Ms. Chase.

This is from the gentleman
at the end of the bar.

- What?
- Gentleman?

Is someone secretly
keeping track of your victories?

That's not necessarily
a good thing.
