As you know, we tried detective veeder

for the murder of detective Myers.

Veeder was acquitted.

[Cheering]

Right after his trial, a witness we'd been looking for

'whose testimony would've helped convict veeder turned up dead.'

(Valerie) 'And that would be kellie Lawson.'

yes, she was one of the girls veeder was pimping

'from his wife's youth shelter.'

we do good work here.

We're giving these girls a fresh start

helping them find their first job.

What do they do for you?

Myers was trying to help her get away from veeder.

And she knew about Myers' murder?

That's why she was killed.

(Maureen) 'We tried veeder for that murder, too.'

- 'he was convicted.' - Guilty... Of murder.

Once that happened he made a deal

to give up his accomplice, Peter durkin.

'Conlon's campaign manager in his run for Attorney General.'

whoa, whoa, I made him stick around and lend a hand.

Why should I do the dirty work all by myself?

We arrested durkin.

He told conlon he'd be committing political suicide.

Said he knew where all the bodies were buried.

Conlon indicted him anyway.

My job comes first, Pete.

'Durkin's out on bail, house arrest.'

we're negotiating plea agreement with him.

- What're you offering? - 'Twenty.'

he tells us everything he knows about veeder's activities

the money laundering, the sex ring

including the names of every man veeder pandered his girls to.

'Could be quite a list.'

durkin said there are some very big names on it.

- Judges, politicians.. - The media is salivating.

Everybody is waiting for the other shoe to drop.

- Who's going with you? - Detective hahn.

- Where's the meeting? - Durkin's apartment.

- Not his lawyer's office? - No, last minute switch.

They want to keep the media from out.

They're in a frenzy as it is.

You better go out the back way.

Elude the paparazzi. See you later.

[Theme music]

[Elevator dings]

- Excuse me. - Excuse me.

[Knocking on door]

[Door bell ringing]

I know they're expecting us.

[Knocking on door]

You're not going to try the door?

[Smirks]

[Intense music]

Let me go first.

Hello?

Indianapolis pd.

(Maureen) 'Mr. Durkin? Mr. Simms?'

'it's Maureen Scofield.'

- 'good lord.' - Call 911.

This is Maureen Scofield from the prosecutor's office.

I'd like to report a shooting.

Yes, 1812 Lancaster place, penthouse apartment.

- Do we need an ambulance? - No.

- No, just send the police. - I'm gonna have a look around.

Thank you.

[Cellphone ringing]

- That was fast. - Annabeth... They've been shot.

- Who's been shot? - Durkin and his lawyer, Simms.

- 'They're dead.' - Okay, I'll tell conlon.

And I'm on my way.

- Are you okay? - 'Not so much.'

it's like they've been executed.

Executed? What do you mean?

[Muffled gunshots]

Maureen?

[Intense music continues]

Maureen?

[Muffled gunshots]

Maureen?

'Maureen? Maureen?'

(Maureen on voicemail) 'This is Maureen Scofield, I'm not available..'

[intense music continues]

[Music continues]

[Elevator bell dinging]

- Annabeth. - Hey, Matt.

This is my boss, James conlon.

- Matt ewing, homicide. - I called Matt.

I wanted someone we know handling the case.

It's bad.

[Intense music]

Oh... oh, Maureen.

Looks like durkin and his lawyer were executed.

'Forced to lie down, then shot'

'once each in the back of the head.'

that's what she said, "executed."

Who knew about the meeting?

Just us, durkin and his attorney.

I think we can assume durkin was the target

and the killer didn't expect to find anyone else here.

(Matt) We're looking for witnesses and we'll review the security video.

Detective? We found this in a grate in the floor.

- 'A shell casing.' - 'Must've rolled in.'

maybe we just got lucky.

I'll go walk this through the lab myself.

I'd appreciate that, detective.

I'll call you.

[Intense music]

- 'Annabeth..' - I'll be alright.

I need to get back to the office.

I need to call her father.

[Band music]

Annabeth and I will focus on motive.

Who would want to kill durkin and why?

You two need to work with detective ewing.

Concentrate on physical evidence.

And finding the shooter.

Think veeder is connected with this?

Veeder had every reason to want to keep durkin alive.

His plea bargain depended on it.

Given who durkin was and what he was about to reveal..

- And how they were killed. - Had to be a professional hit.

The shooter was just the first step.

- I want whoever hired him. - About the shooter..

(Ray) 'Here he is coming through the lobby.'

(ed) 'Could be our guy. See how he keeps his head down?'

he knows there's a camera. Comes back out eight minutes later.

After shooting durkin and Simms.

Maybe. Now watch.

Practically bump into each other.

(Ray) 'Skip ahead one more time.'

three minutes later, he's back. This time he's in a hurry.

It's almost as though he knew she was goin' up to meet durkin.

Recognized her as she came in?

(Ed) 'Maybe came back just to make sure.'

- tie up loose ends? - Okay, last time.

(Ray) 'Back downstairs in four minutes.'

- now he's rattled. - He hears the sirens.

He knows the cavalry's on the way.

We're going to get you, you son of a bitch.

(Annabeth) 'Durkin's dead, along with one of my colleagues'

and two other people. I'm not in the mood to fool around.

We were prepared to honor the plea agreement, annabeth.

But it's our position that the people should do the same.

Mr. Veeder's testimony is no longer required.

Our sentencing recommendation will be life without parole.

It was your responsibility to get him to trial alive.

We couldn't have foreseen this.

You couldn't find your forehead with a map and a flashlight.

(Veeder) 'The guy had high connections. City hall and beyond.'

anyone could have foreseen this.

Shut up, Chris.

'If Mr. Veeder tells you everything he knows'

about Peter durkin, his associates, his activities?

I would be willing to listen.

Same plea deal.

Same, 30 years for kellie Lawson's murder.

I tell you about Pete and that's it.

You also tell me about your criminal activities.

The money laundering, the prostitution

the robbery, the drug trafficking.

Full disclosure, we want to know everything.

Every politician who was involved.

Every businessman, every cop.

You sure you want to know everything?

He'll need immunity from additional charges.

- Done. - What about my wife?

Are you admitting she's involved through the shelter

in prostitution and money laundering?

I'm not saying anything like that.

I'm just saying I want her protected.

I won't promise you I won't prosecute third parties

who've been involved in your criminal enterprises.

That includes the guys in your unit and your wife.

Guard.

Then I can't tell you what I know.

Chris, Chris.

I'll talk to him. Maybe he'll come to his senses.

- Thanks. - How are you holding up?

Uh, yeah, I mean.. You know, it's hard.

I know.

It's really hard.

[Instrumental music]

- I can't.. - I know.

What am I going to do?

[Sobbing]

I know.

[Music continues]

- 'What's his name?' - Wayne Thomas.

Without the hat and glasses.

Found those and leather gloves two blocks from the scene.

We got a print off the glasses.

He's in a rush, not thinking clearly

strips off the gloves, tosses the glasses and hat.

- What do we know about him? - A few arrests and convictions.

- Gun charge, armed robbery. - We have a last known address?

Just got off the phone with his p.O.

- What are you waiting for? - You guys wanna tag along?

Damn straight.

[Instrumental music]

I'm looking for annabeth chase.

[Music continues]

Reverend.

- You must be annabeth. - Yes.

So this office is... Her office.

Yeah, I was just sorting through..

- Oh, don't let me interrupt. - No, no, I'm done.

I just came from the coroner's.

[Instrumental music]

I never thought I would see something like that.

My daughter laid out on a table.

It's a terrible thing to outlive your children.

I can't even imagine.

I am so sorry.

Do you have children, annabeth?

Hmm, a little girl.

I know that you and Maureen were close.

I thought so.

Sometimes, she's a..

- She was a very private person. - Mm-hmm.

I-I would have, uh..

I wish that when we..

I wish that we had... Remained closer

'Maureen and I.'

after her mother and I divorced.

Well, she didn't entirely approve of me or-or my choices.

She spoke very highly of you.

That's very kind of you.

I..

I've made arrangements, uh..

Friday at greenmont.

You'll be giving the eulogy?

Actually, I was hoping... That you would.

[Gunshots]

(Ray) 'Ed!'

ed? Ed?

[Intense music]

Ed. You with me?

[Footsteps]

[Ray panting]

Vest. Oh..

- He got away. - I heard.

We flooded the media with his picture.

- Somebody's bound to spot him. - Iab called.

They saw Thomas' name on the news and it rang a bell.

He was one of veeder's confidential informants.

- Who's their source? - Brian Flynn.

Will he talk?

After I forced him to take the stand

at veeder's first trial and ruined his life?

We could try. What are you looking at?

Uh... ideas for my campaign.

But who am I kidding? My candidacy is over.

When your campaign manager is in cahoots with a dirty cop..

You still got your day job.

Not much longer if the news has anything to say about it.

They'll quit howling for your blood.

When?

- What? - I just feel so guilty.

[Chuckles] I had police protection while we were investigating veeder.

And Maureen..

Maureen wasn't a target, annabeth, you were.

Someone left her a message one night

after we arrested durkin. "Back off, bitch."

- What? - She asked me not to tell you.

"Back off," huh?

Well, that's the last thing we're gonna do.

[Intense music]

Nice spot, scenic.

You think I wanna be seen talkin' to you?

It's bad enough spilling my guts every day to the rat squad.

I understand you won't talk to me.

- Under any circumstances. - Which is why I brought him.

Brian.

- Hi. Matt. - You know why we're here?

- I watch the news. - Wayne Thomas.

- Ask veeder. - 'Veeder's not talking.'

neither are the other guys in his unit.

- Yeah, well, they're smart. - Come on, Brian, this is me.

Will you go away and never come back?

We won't bother you again, you have my word.

Well, we know what that's worth.

Easy.

Iab says you told them Thomas is one of veeder's cis.

I don't know much.

Veeder was secret about his business with the rest of us.

I remember he said that Thomas had a cousin.

Runs a body and Fender shop over on the south side.

- You got a name? - No. Sorry.

Thank you.

I hope you find the guy.

The auto crimes just sent over a list.

Chop shops on the south side. Must be a dozen.

The one we're looking for is owned by Wayne Thomas' cousin.

- 'Nobody named Thomas.' - Give me all the addresses.

- I can narrow it down a little. - - 'How?'

- half of them are Russian. - His cousin can't be Russian?

Wayne's an Indianapolis boy, born and bred.

(Ed) 'Most of the rest are brothers.'

- you know that for a fact? - 'Trust me.'

every guy on this list is either Russian or black.

'Except one.'

'Mike Bernard, a.K.A. White Mike.'

(annabeth) 'You're a pretty quick, detective.'

yeah, not quick enough.

[Instrumental music]

- 'Wayne's my cousin, so?' - You seen him?

Not since my daughter's christening.

- How old's your daughter? - She's five.

Wayne was in the penitentiary.

Then it's longer than I remember.

You've been wrung up for auto theft.

- I was a kid. - Receiving stolen property.

Entrapment.

We can shut this place for inventory.

- Go right ahead. - Check on every part in here.

- Make sure nothing's stolen. - Knock yourself out.

- Quit yanking my chain. - Hey, call off your dog.

We don't have time to fool around with you.

- This... ain't right. - Let go of my cousin!

[Intense music]

- I'll let you walk out of here. - I ain't walking no where.

I said... Let him go.

[Intense music]

Lose the gun.

Hands where I can see 'em.

I'm taking the charger, Mike.

Give me the cash box and your wallet too.

You... move.

Hands up.

Hands up!

[Intense music continues]

Put it in the car, Mike.

I'll make it up to you, cuz.

Get in.

- Get in. Get in. - No. No.

I said get in!

[Gunshots]

[Dramatic music]

- You alright? - Yeah.

[Door creaking]

I think she'll stay down this time.

I look at her and I just think..

What if..

God.

I'm such a mess. I just... I can't stop crying.

That's normal.

It's been a really hard year.

I, um..

I met her father yesterday.

- Maureen's? - Yeah.

He's a preacher, reverend Scofield.

You never met him before?

No, she didn't really talk about him much.

She didn't really talk about herself much.

She was just so private.

He asked me to give the eulogy.

- Wow. - I mean, I..

I'm not sure I'll know what to say.

You will.

Just... speak from your heart.

I'll try.

What's going to happen to you?

Desk duty, a lot of questions, a lot of paperwork.

Reinstated in a month.

I never fired my gun before..

At a suspect.

First time.

What was that, a lucky shot?

Practice, practice, practice.

Seriously?

It's one thing on the range, another on the street.

Does it bother you?

It would bother me... A lot more if I had missed.

Me, too.

Or if anything had happened to you.

[Instrumental music]

Ballistics came back. Gun matches, Thomas was the shooter.

- Shot all four victims. - What'd you pull off his cell?

Ever hear of diamond park associates?

- No. - Office downtown.

- Courier building. - Swank.

Thomas called at ten minute intervals

right after the shooting.

Somebody called him back about an hour later.

- And after that? - No further communication.

He panicked after what went wrong and when he talked

to someone at diamond park they told him to cool it.

- What firm is it? - Real estate consultants.

- Board of directors. - And?

There's one name there that doesn't belong.

If it's the same Benny Boudreaux.

- Why not? - He's a big-time drug dealer.

(James) 'What's his story?'

the company's a front.

Boudreaux is a very successful narcotics trafficker

and a semi-legit businessman.

According to Matt, Boudreaux has been pretty untouchable

over the years, and suspicion is..

He has friends on the force.

- Veeder. - It fits.

Thomas was veeder's informant.

From his calls we can assume he worked for Boudreaux.

So what's your theory?

Say Boudreaux hired Thomas to kill durkin.

Which he does, along with three other people.

If Boudreaux and veeder are doing business together

and durkin knows all about it

Boudreaux has reason to worry when durkin's arrested.

He knows durkin's going to cave, so he has him hit.

We're gonna need leverage on Boudreaux before we pick him up.

- We need veeder to talk. - I'm offering the same deal.

Your gonna give his wife a free pass?

If he'll talk about Thomas and Boudreaux, I will.

Thomas was the go-between. Through him, Boudreaux tipped me

off about rival dealers. I'd bust them, rip them off.

Keep the money and sell the drugs back to Boudreaux.

I give him a good price. It worked out well for everyone.

Why would Boudreaux want durkin dead?

- He wouldn't. - Thomas was the shooter.

- Forensics proves it. - No doubt.

And no doubt Boudreaux hired him.

But Benny's just a broker, an intermediary.

He hired Thomas.

Benny doesn't do his own wet work anymore.

- Who hired him? - Who knows?

A lot of people sleeping easier.

Now that durkin's out of the picture.

You'll testify against Boudreaux on the narcotics charges?

That's part of the deal, isn't it?

'We also get sentence consideration'

on conspiracy to commit murder for hire?

'If he pleads guilty on the narcotics trafficking charges'

and testifies against whoever hired him to kill Peter durkin.

- Benny? - Veeder.

Can't believe he gave me up.

Along with corroborating witnesses

and tons of documentation.

He traded you for his wife, Mr. Boudreaux.

Ah. That... i understand.

Who hired you, Mr. Boudreaux?

Tell her, Benny. This is why we're here.

Philip deshayes.

Know him?

We've met. He's a money launderer.

He owns a string of auto body repair shops.

Through which he launders his money. Does he own white Mike's?

As a matter of fact..

And he put out the contract on Peter durkin? Why?

- Don't know, didn't ask. - But why ask you to set it up?

Deshayes and I do business.

- He launders your drug money? - Correct.

Did Chris veeder do business with deshayes, too?

I introduced them, sorry to say.

- Done for now? - Done.

Say hi to Mr. Conlon for me.

- You know him? - 'Never met the man.'

but I'm supporting him for Attorney General.

I doubt he'll want your endorsement.

That's alright. I've already given a lot to his campaign.

Through durkin.

Hated to lose him.

Political campaign is an excellent mechanism

for laundering money.

Sit down. Tell you all about it.

Maybe we can reduce a few years off this sentence

you're looking to lay on me.

[Intense music]

To what do I owe the pleasure, Mr. Conlon?

It has come to my attention

that illegal contributions may have been made to my campaign

through my late campaign manager, Peter durkin.

Is this the result of your investigation into his murder?

And the murders of his lawyer, one of my detectives

and my friend and colleague, Maureen Scofield.

Yes, I'm very sorry about that.

- Thank you. - And you're here because?

I'd like to turn over the campaign's financial records

and have your office look into them.

And in return?

A quid pro quo. I need information.

Anything that will lead to the prosecution

of the parties involved.

- You have a suspect? - Philip deshayes.

Who hired Benny Boudreaux to contract it out.

Has Boudreaux confessed?

So what do you say, miss port?

[Sighs]

We have had them under surveillance.

- Deshayes and Boudreaux? - Deshayes and Samantha veeder.

Detective veeder's wife?

They're lovers.

[Intense music]

- With deshayes. - You didn't know?

That bitch!

I'm rotting away in here and she's..

(Annabeth) 'Yeah, she is.'

[sighs]

Turns my stomach.

She betrayed me.

Now's your chance to return the favor.

[Laughing]

So, Chris?

Durkin used funds from his client's campaigns

to bribe politicians.

- To get them to do what? - Pass legislation.

We planned on using the state's power of eminent domain

to obtain privately-owned land for development.

The new children's hospital your wife's been fundraising for?

Who could be against a new children's hospital?

I assume there was money to be made.

Millions.

What do you want to do, annabeth?

I want to put you on our witness list

to testify against your wife.

I'm counting the hours.

[Upbeat music]

[Music continues]

Can I help you gentlemen?

Samantha veeder.

You're under arrest for the murders of Peter durkin

Maureen Scofield, Robert Simms and detective John hahn.

- What? - 'Come with us.'

'we'll read you your rights downstairs.'

don't wanna spoil the party.

- What's this about? - Philip.

- They're arresting me. - They're arresting us.

Mr. Deshayes, you know the drill.

I do and I'm waiving the reading of my rights.

Just curious, who gave me up?

Benny Boudreaux.

Not to worry.

- But.. - We'll get this sorted out.

Wish they were all this easy.

I heard that.

Nice to see you again, miss chase.

I wish it were under different circumstances.

I can't imagine what those would be.

This is the only place where our paths would cross again.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Mr. Deshayes is innocent of these trumped up charges.

Mr. Deshayes is engaged in a conspiracy

with Mrs. Veeder to commit murder for hire.

According to whom? Benny Boudreaux?

We're open to making a deal with one party or another.

We're not interested.

The last time we spoke

I told you I'd be prosecuting you one day.

So be it.

(Conlon) 'First come, first served.'

I had nothing to do with it. I'm not making any deals.

You have nothing tying her to these murders.

You and Mr. Deshayes thought that Peter durkin

would use what he knew about your children's hospital scheme

'to get himself a lighter sentence.'

so they hired a hit man?

Millions of dollars at stake. They could afford it.

Well, I hope you're not a light sleeper, Mrs. Veeder.

- Excuse me? - It's pretty noisy in prison.

It's going to tqke a little getting used to.

- Annabeth? - Thank you, reverend Scofield.

Your daughter was an inspiration to me.

She was a fine prosecutor.

A public servant.

And most of all, she was my friend.

She trusted the law.

'She fought for justice with compassion'

'and she truly believed'

'the work she did could make a difference.'

'she died..'

doing the work she loved.

She was kind, fair and compassionate.

[Piano music]

When my baby was born, she shared my joy.

And when my husband died..

And I was inconsolable, she shared my grief.

I miss her so... Very much.

And I can't believe she's gone.

[Music continues]

The people will show that these murders

were the result of a conspiracy

whose authors, Samantha veeder and Philip deshayes

panicked when Peter durkin was arrested

for his role in the murder of a young girl.

So they had him killed.

'The defendants are also responsible'

'for the deaths of three other people..'

Robert Simms, detective John hahn

and assistant prosecutor Maureen Scofield.

Ask yourselves, who had the most to gain

from Peter durkin's death?

One name comes to the fore.

Chief deputy prosecuting attorney James conlon.

'Now, I'm not suggesting'

Mr. Conlon ordered Mr. Durkin's death to prevent certain facts

about his troubled campaign from coming out

'or to put an end to the burgeoning scandal'

'in the police department and prosecutor's office.'

but Mr. Conlon has powerful friends

who might have acted on his behalf.

'Many, many people stood to benefit'

'from Peter durkin's murder.'

and I beg you, ladies and gentlemen

to keep an open mind to the possibility

'that persons other than'

'Samantha veeder and Philip deshayes'

orchestrated this awful crime.

They're just trying to smear conlon

divert attention with an alternate suspect.

Are you positive? Maureen called me..

Late one night a while ago and she was troubled.

About what?

She said she'd been called to testify before a grand jury.

A corruption investigation of your office.

- Oh, you didn't know? - N-No, she never told me that.

And grand jury proceedings are secret.

Yeah, so she said more than once.

She swore me to secrecy. That's why I haven't mentioned it.

- When was this? - Mid-April.

There was a note on her calendar, gj, grand jury.

But there was no grand jury panel that day. I checked.

I think she said it was federal.

(Annabeth) I know she testified in your investigation

under oath and subject to your cross examination.

She wasn't supposed to tell anyone about that.

- How do you know? - She only told her father.

He told me after she was killed.

- Anybody else know? Your boss? - Nobody. No.

You know I cannot discuss this investigation.

I'm asking you only about Maureen's testimony.

Did she implicate conlon in political corruption?

Did she believe conlon knew durkin was corrupt

in the office in any way?

How it this gonna help your case?

I can't think of a better voice to defend conlon than Maureen's.

If she said conlon wasn't beholden to durkin

I want the jury to hear that.

Want them to dismiss this ridiculous idea

and focus on defendants who committed this crime.

Four people are dead, including a prosecutor.

[Upbeat music]

(Annabeth) 'To sum up, Mr. Boudreaux, who hired you'

to have Peter durkin killed?

Philip deshayes.

Nothing further.

- Mr. Bachner, Mr. Milken. - No questions, your honor.

Mr. Boudreaux, this contract, this killing for hire

that you just admitted to executing

'which resulted in the deaths of four people'

this quadruple murder.

At any point did you speak to my client Samantha veeder?

No.

Did Mr. Deshayes ever mention her name in this connection?

No.

Did you have any knowledge whatsoever

of her alleged participation?

No.

Nothing further.

(Judge) 'Witness may step down.'

your next witness, miss chase.

The people call assistant prosecuting attorney

James conlon.

(Male #1) 'You swear to tell the truth, the whole truth.

- 'Nothing but the truth?' - I do.

(James) 'Peter durkin was my campaign manager.'

after his death, I learned that he may have laundered money

through my campaign in order to pay political bribes.

Were you aware of this when you indicted Mr. Durkin for his role

- in kellie Lawson's murder? - No.

'Did you have any reason to fear'

'what Mr. Durkin might reveal in his efforts to make a deal?'

- no. - Why not?

Because after I indicted Mr. Durkin

I no longer considered myself a candidate

for Attorney General of Indiana.

I immediately stopped raising money

and began to wind down my political operation.

Did you hire Wayne Thomas to kill Peter durkin?

Of course not.

Thank you.

According to preliminary documents

Mr. Durkin raised $3 million for your campaign.

He spent $1.3. Where's the rest?

I don't know. Your clients might.

In Indiana, a candidate is required

to personally sign his final campaign contributions report

and attest to their accuracy.

It's still early in the campaign, I haven't begun

to review my final report.

What about invoices?

Didn't you compare the invoices you signed

with the goods and services your campaign received?

I'm busy running the prosecutor's office.

I trusted Mr. Durkin to attend to housekeeping duties.

Well, I-I must say, Mr. Conlon..

You're the most trusting lawyer I ever met.

Uh, is that a question, your honor?

My mistake was trusting Mr. Durkin in an area

I knew little about.

A mistake or a lie?

Because I believe you did trust Mr. Durkin.

You trusted him to protect you, your reputation, your skeletons

and your secrets, didn't you, Mr. Conlon?

I trusted Peter durkin to do his job. I blame myself for that.

You are as corrupt as the man you hired to run your campaign

a man who threatened to reveal when you charged him of murder.

- Objection. - No further questions.

You may step down, Mr. Conlon.

Any other witnesses, miss chase?

I'd like to call a rebuttal witness, your honor.

'I ask your honor allow into evidence'

the videotaped testimony of Maureen Scofield.

We know nothing about this tape, your honor.

We offer the testimony only to rebut Mr. Bachner's attack.

- On Mr. Conlon's character. - That's hearsay, your honor.

(Annabeth) 'It was a testimony given under oath'

to a United States attorney.

I'll rule after reviewing the tape in my chambers.

(Female #1) 'Did you write a memo asking Mr. Conlon'

'to authorize subpoenas for greenwood youth shelter'

'in connection with your investigation'

'of Chris and Samantha veeder?'

- he declined to authorize them. - 'Why?'

(Maureen on tape) 'He said if the subpoenas turned up no evidence'

'of wrongdoing at greenwood it would damage his campaign.'

(female #1 on tape) 'Did that strike you as inappropriate?'

(Maureen on tape) 'Any prosecutor running for office'

'is going to consider politics. It's a reality of the job.'

'look..'

Jim conlon and I disagree about a lot of things but not ethics.

'The power to prosecute is an awesome burden.'

'and Jim conlon takes that power more seriously'

and balances the demands of the job more fairly

than anyone I've ever worked with.

(Female #1 on tape) 'You think highly of him.'

I do. He's been an inspiration.

(Maureen) 'I didn't like him at first, personally.'

'i found him brash, high-handed even.'

but after working with him I've come to admire him greatly.

'He doesn't have an unethical bone in his body'

and he would never, ever compromise the integrity

of the office for political considerations.

[Dramatic music]

And your wife knew about the scheme to appropriate property

for construction of a new children's hospital

'through eminent domain?'

it was her plan.

Who would've benefited financially?

The shareholders.

Mr. Durkin, Mr. Deshayes... My wife.

(Annabeth) 'Did you speak to your wife after Mr. Durkin's arrest?'

(veeder) 'She was quite upset.'

she said she knew he'd tell the authorities about her hospital

scheme in exchange for a more lenient sentence.

- What was your response? - I agreed with her.

I suggested she collect her assets and leave the country.

But she said she couldn't do that.

I later found out why.

Did she say what she was going to do?

(Veeder) 'She said she would take care of it.'

and that Mr. Deshayes would help her.

What did you take that to mean?

Objection. Calls for speculation.

Your honor, I'm asking the witness' opinion

based on personal knowledge of his wife.

I'll allow it.

I took it to mean that they would have Mr. Durkin killed.

Problem solved.

A vengeful husband..

Who learns his wife is having an affair

while he's in prison for murdering a young woman

concocts a story of murder for hire.

I'm sorry. What's the question?

The question is, Mr. Veeder

aren't you lying to get back at your wife?

I'm telling the truth.

- It's part of my deal. - Excuse me?

'Self-interest, counselor.'

I get years taken off of my sentence if I tell the truth.

If I lie... Life in prison.

So... i have every reason to tell the truth.

Sorry, darling.

You son of a bitch.

(Judge) 'Mrs. Veeder.'

nothing further.

In the matter of the murder of Peter durkin

'the jury finds the defendant Philip deshayes..'

guilty.

On the matter of the murder of Peter durkin

'the jury finds the defendant'

Samantha veeder... Guilty.

(Judge) 'On the matter of the murder of Maureen Scofield'

'the jury finds the defendant Philip deshayes..'

guilty.

'On the matter of the murder of Maureen Scofield'

'the jury finds the defendant Samantha veeder..'

'...guilty.'

'on the matter of the murder of detective John hahn'

'the jury finds the defendant Philip deshayes..'

'...guilty.'

(ray) 'Guilty on all counts.'

life without times four for both of them.

Congratulations.

- Thanks. - You did a great job.

Thank you.

It's nice what she said about you.

I think you were vindicated.

Oh, I think it's a little late for me.

My opinion? You should change your mind and stay in the race.

You're trying to get rid of me.

That would mean I thought you actually had a chance to win.

Hi. Mind if I join you?

- Sure. - Please.

So... well, what are we drinking to?

To Maureen.

- Maureen. - To Maureen.
