Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,373 --> 00:00:06,574
Excuse us.
2
00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:12,846
Uh, the 911 caller
Said the south tower.
3
00:00:12,913 --> 00:00:14,848
Right. Which you get to
From the central plaza
4
00:00:14,915 --> 00:00:15,949
On the third floor.
5
00:00:16,016 --> 00:00:17,485
No. You cross
Around the corner.
6
00:00:17,551 --> 00:00:18,652
Well, you know what?
7
00:00:18,719 --> 00:00:37,538
We'll just see
Who gets there first.
8
00:00:37,605 --> 00:00:44,812
Hey.
9
00:00:44,878 --> 00:00:46,780
There's no reason for you
To have called the police.
10
00:00:46,847 --> 00:00:48,282
I called the police
11
00:00:48,349 --> 00:00:50,251
Because no one can explain
What happened to my son.
12
00:00:50,318 --> 00:00:52,453
Ms. Langner, please.
Let me get you
A grief counselor.
13
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,555
I don't need
A grief counselor!
14
00:00:54,622 --> 00:00:56,457
I want those doctors
Arrested.
15
00:00:56,524 --> 00:00:57,825
Let's discuss this
In my office.
16
00:00:57,891 --> 00:01:01,662
Detective daniels, lapd.
Priority homicide.
17
00:01:01,729 --> 00:01:03,030
Help me.
18
00:01:03,097 --> 00:01:05,065
They murdered my son.
19
00:01:09,170 --> 00:01:11,004
Ok, just
Take a breath.
20
00:01:11,071 --> 00:01:12,240
Take a breath.
21
00:01:12,306 --> 00:01:13,574
[hyperventilating]
22
00:01:15,276 --> 00:01:16,610
[breathing slower]
23
00:01:16,677 --> 00:01:17,711
Ok?
24
00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:21,315
So, what's
Going on here?
25
00:01:24,218 --> 00:01:28,722
I brought my son nicky in
For a simple endoscopy.
26
00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:31,292
And now he's dead.
27
00:01:32,693 --> 00:01:34,162
They killed him.
28
00:01:34,228 --> 00:01:36,464
Detective. If I may.
29
00:01:38,532 --> 00:01:40,100
There's no question
30
00:01:40,168 --> 00:01:43,003
That we've had
A terrible tragedy
Here tonight.
31
00:01:43,070 --> 00:01:46,807
But the presence
Of police...
32
00:01:46,874 --> 00:01:49,277
It just seems to be
Inflaming the situation.
33
00:01:49,343 --> 00:01:51,779
It might be best
For everyone
34
00:01:51,845 --> 00:01:53,214
If you just went home.
35
00:01:53,281 --> 00:01:54,582
I'm sorry.
36
00:01:54,648 --> 00:01:57,351
You do not tell the lapd
To go home.
37
00:01:57,418 --> 00:01:59,019
Detective, please.
38
00:01:59,086 --> 00:02:01,722
Don't overreact
To this situation.
39
00:02:03,491 --> 00:02:05,326
It is common to hear
Accusations like this
40
00:02:05,393 --> 00:02:07,027
From people who have
Lost children.
41
00:02:07,094 --> 00:02:08,862
But I can assure you,
The doctors
42
00:02:08,929 --> 00:02:12,132
Took all heroic measures
To save the boy's life.
43
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,701
I'd like to hear that
From them.
44
00:02:13,767 --> 00:02:16,770
Dr. Woods and dr. Sands
Are unavailable.
45
00:02:21,309 --> 00:02:23,043
Since you refuse
To cooperate,
46
00:02:23,110 --> 00:02:24,578
And I have
Reasonable suspicion
47
00:02:24,645 --> 00:02:25,779
Regarding this
Attended death--
48
00:02:25,846 --> 00:02:26,914
Reasonable suspicion?
49
00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:28,849
I am designating
The o. R. A crime scene.
50
00:02:28,916 --> 00:02:30,784
Oh, for god's--
No one touches the body.
51
00:02:30,851 --> 00:02:33,387
Nothing is disturbed
Or removed.
52
00:02:33,454 --> 00:02:34,888
Please secure
The operating suite.
53
00:02:43,297 --> 00:02:44,698
Let's go.
54
00:02:57,478 --> 00:02:58,646
[elevator rings]
55
00:03:04,418 --> 00:03:06,019
Sorry to pull you guys
Away from dinner.
56
00:03:06,086 --> 00:03:08,088
The speeches were endless.
The food never came.
57
00:03:08,155 --> 00:03:09,623
I was about to eat
My napkin.
58
00:03:09,690 --> 00:03:11,492
What's going on here?
Well, we have a problem.
59
00:03:11,559 --> 00:03:13,294
The mother over here,
Melissa langner,
60
00:03:13,361 --> 00:03:16,464
Her son nicky came in
For a routine procedure.
61
00:03:16,530 --> 00:03:17,831
Are you in charge?
62
00:03:18,866 --> 00:03:19,833
Talk to the lady.
63
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:21,435
Deputy chief
Brenda leigh johnson.
64
00:03:21,502 --> 00:03:22,870
I'll be with you
In a minute, sir.
65
00:03:22,936 --> 00:03:24,137
Go on.
66
00:03:24,204 --> 00:03:25,773
So, her son
Went through surgery
67
00:03:25,839 --> 00:03:28,041
To stop some minor
Gastric bleeding,
68
00:03:28,108 --> 00:03:30,378
There were some
Complications,
69
00:03:30,444 --> 00:03:33,581
He died,
And now she's saying
That he was murdered.
70
00:03:36,116 --> 00:03:37,385
Ok.
71
00:03:37,451 --> 00:03:39,287
Thank you, sergeant.
And you are?
72
00:03:39,353 --> 00:03:40,688
Howard pierce.
Administrative director
73
00:03:40,754 --> 00:03:42,656
Of southwest pacific
University hospital.
74
00:03:42,723 --> 00:03:44,825
One of your people
Has shut down
Our operating room.
75
00:03:44,892 --> 00:03:47,761
That was daniels' call
Before I got here.
76
00:03:47,828 --> 00:03:48,929
Ok.
77
00:03:48,996 --> 00:03:51,198
I'd be happy
To address your concerns
78
00:03:51,265 --> 00:03:54,468
As soon as I get
More information.
One moment, please.
79
00:03:55,903 --> 00:03:56,904
Oh, excuse me.
80
00:03:56,970 --> 00:03:59,373
This is the woman
I was speaking of.
81
00:04:00,841 --> 00:04:04,044
I'm deputy chief
Brenda leigh johnson
Of the lapd.
82
00:04:04,111 --> 00:04:05,479
[exhales]
83
00:04:05,546 --> 00:04:07,715
I'm sorry to press you
At a time like this,
84
00:04:07,781 --> 00:04:10,484
But I need to know
Why you think
Your son was murdered.
85
00:04:14,187 --> 00:04:16,857
Nicky started throwing up
Around 6:15.
86
00:04:16,924 --> 00:04:19,427
There was a little blood.
87
00:04:19,493 --> 00:04:21,795
I'm a fourth year
Medical student.
88
00:04:21,862 --> 00:04:23,831
I knew it probably wasn't
Anything too serious,
89
00:04:23,897 --> 00:04:25,699
But I didn't want to
Misdiagnose him
90
00:04:25,766 --> 00:04:29,036
So I brought him here
So that they could scope him.
91
00:04:32,506 --> 00:04:35,309
10 minutes later,
He was in major surgery.
92
00:04:36,377 --> 00:04:37,911
20 minutes later,
He was dead.
93
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,815
That's a...
94
00:04:41,882 --> 00:04:43,684
That is
A terrible story,
95
00:04:43,751 --> 00:04:46,420
Ms. Langner,
But what makes you think
It was a crime?
96
00:04:47,888 --> 00:04:49,690
Because...
97
00:04:49,757 --> 00:04:52,225
When I questioned
Dr. Woods,
98
00:04:52,292 --> 00:04:53,927
The vascular surgeon,
99
00:04:53,994 --> 00:04:55,429
About the cause of death,
100
00:04:55,496 --> 00:04:57,565
He kept changing
His answer.
101
00:04:57,631 --> 00:04:59,933
And after
The third response,
102
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,472
He just looked
At the other doctor,
The g.I. Specialist...
103
00:05:06,006 --> 00:05:07,975
And I saw it in their eyes.
104
00:05:09,410 --> 00:05:11,311
They are covering
Something up.
105
00:05:12,546 --> 00:05:15,048
Ms. Langner--
Please...
106
00:05:15,115 --> 00:05:16,049
Help me.
107
00:05:20,087 --> 00:05:21,555
Please?
108
00:05:26,293 --> 00:05:28,095
Ok. I'll be right back.
109
00:05:29,530 --> 00:05:32,265
I hope that we are acting
On good solid suspicions
110
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:33,567
And not just sympathy.
111
00:05:33,634 --> 00:05:35,736
Chief, I initiated
This investigation
112
00:05:35,803 --> 00:05:37,838
Because I was being
Actively obstructed.
113
00:06:09,236 --> 00:06:10,471
Oh...
114
00:06:13,941 --> 00:06:17,044
Could the bruises be
From how he was handled
During surgery?
115
00:06:17,110 --> 00:06:18,045
No.
116
00:06:18,111 --> 00:06:19,547
I doubt it.
117
00:06:19,613 --> 00:06:21,982
The yellowing suggests
They happened much earlier.
118
00:06:28,789 --> 00:06:30,658
Is that a video camera?
119
00:06:40,634 --> 00:06:41,969
You should know as soon
As your grieving mother
120
00:06:42,035 --> 00:06:44,705
Went to the bathroom,
Those guys appeared.
121
00:06:44,772 --> 00:06:46,574
They've been huddling.
122
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,510
Looks like they're planning
Their next play.
123
00:06:52,245 --> 00:06:54,014
And they are leaving.
124
00:06:54,081 --> 00:06:56,784
I don't think
They're a flight risk.
125
00:06:59,687 --> 00:07:00,888
Mr. Pierce, I believe
126
00:07:00,954 --> 00:07:02,856
We've gotten off
On the wrong foot.
127
00:07:02,923 --> 00:07:04,592
I'm confident that with
Your cooperation,
128
00:07:04,658 --> 00:07:06,627
We can resolve this issue
Right now.
I agree.
129
00:07:06,694 --> 00:07:09,062
All I need is
The surgery video,
The boy's charts,
130
00:07:09,129 --> 00:07:10,731
And to have a short
Conversation with
The physicians.
131
00:07:10,798 --> 00:07:11,965
Well, that's not
Going to happen.
132
00:07:12,032 --> 00:07:13,400
Excuse me?
133
00:07:13,467 --> 00:07:15,536
You want to
Resolve this quickly?
Let me help you.
134
00:07:15,603 --> 00:07:19,072
There...Was...No...
Murder.
135
00:07:20,407 --> 00:07:21,909
You need to turn
That operating suite
136
00:07:21,975 --> 00:07:24,612
Back over to us
Right now.
137
00:07:27,848 --> 00:07:30,484
Sergeant gabriel,
Please notify
Building operations
138
00:07:30,551 --> 00:07:31,451
That we'll be
Shutting down this floor.
139
00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:32,653
Nothing goes in or out
140
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,054
Without our permission.
Nothing.
141
00:07:34,121 --> 00:07:35,756
You can't do that!
One more word out of you,
142
00:07:35,823 --> 00:07:37,324
And I will padlock
This entire hospital
143
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:39,893
And arrest you for interfering
With a murder investigation.
144
00:07:47,501 --> 00:07:48,902
We don't know
There was malpractice.
145
00:07:48,969 --> 00:07:50,904
Much less a crime,
Much less murder.
146
00:07:50,971 --> 00:07:52,806
So let's be clear about
What's going on here.
147
00:07:52,873 --> 00:07:54,808
You're launching
A full-fledged
Investigation
148
00:07:54,875 --> 00:07:57,010
Into a nationally
Respected hospital
149
00:07:57,077 --> 00:07:58,946
Based on the hunch
Of a hysterical woman.
150
00:07:59,012 --> 00:08:02,449
Daniels and I both
Felt she might be
Telling the truth.
151
00:08:02,516 --> 00:08:04,184
Ok. Make that three
Hysterical women.
152
00:08:04,251 --> 00:08:07,254
I know you don't want me
To respond to that.
153
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,523
No. What it
Looks like to me
154
00:08:09,590 --> 00:08:12,259
Is a grieving mother
Desperate to pin the blame
155
00:08:12,325 --> 00:08:13,794
For her son's death
On somebody.
156
00:08:13,861 --> 00:08:15,495
Ever consider
She might be pinning it
157
00:08:15,563 --> 00:08:17,130
On those responsible?
158
00:08:17,197 --> 00:08:18,265
Todd woods
Is one of the top
159
00:08:18,331 --> 00:08:19,466
Vascular surgeons
In the country.
160
00:08:19,533 --> 00:08:20,568
What possible motive
161
00:08:20,634 --> 00:08:21,635
Could he or this
Other doctor have
162
00:08:21,702 --> 00:08:22,936
For murdering
An 8-year-old boy?
163
00:08:23,003 --> 00:08:24,304
Well, then,
If there's no issue,
164
00:08:24,371 --> 00:08:25,939
Why won't this
Mr. Pierce,
165
00:08:26,006 --> 00:08:28,375
This jerk of
A hospital administrator
Help me?
166
00:08:28,441 --> 00:08:31,311
Brenda, just because somebody
Doesn't share your agenda
167
00:08:31,378 --> 00:08:33,513
Doesn't make them a jerk.
168
00:08:35,515 --> 00:08:36,917
Dr. Woods was decorated
169
00:08:36,984 --> 00:08:38,485
For his work
As a trauma surgeon
170
00:08:38,552 --> 00:08:39,820
During the first
Gulf war.
171
00:08:39,887 --> 00:08:42,189
He pioneered the use
Of carotid stents.
172
00:08:42,255 --> 00:08:45,525
Dr. Sands has performed
Over 2,000 endoscopic
Procedures.
173
00:08:45,593 --> 00:08:46,594
He's been recognized--
174
00:08:46,660 --> 00:08:47,895
Thank you. I get it.
175
00:08:47,961 --> 00:08:49,663
The attending physicians
Are geniuses.
176
00:08:49,730 --> 00:08:50,798
Now, like chief johnson,
177
00:08:50,864 --> 00:08:52,600
I am committed
To resolving this
178
00:08:52,666 --> 00:08:54,968
With the least inconvenience
For all involved.
179
00:08:55,035 --> 00:08:57,070
Then end
The criminal inquiry.
180
00:08:57,137 --> 00:08:59,006
If ms. Langner continues
To harbor doubts
181
00:08:59,072 --> 00:09:00,741
About her
Son's treatment,
182
00:09:00,808 --> 00:09:03,343
She has numerous
Civil remedies
Available to her.
183
00:09:03,410 --> 00:09:05,145
We are asking for
Minimal cooperation.
184
00:09:05,212 --> 00:09:06,580
And I am telling you
185
00:09:06,647 --> 00:09:08,448
That these doctors'
Records are protected,
186
00:09:08,515 --> 00:09:10,584
And they will remain
Confidential.
187
00:09:11,852 --> 00:09:14,521
And let me give you
A word of warning, sir,
188
00:09:14,588 --> 00:09:16,657
The legal principles
At stake in this case
189
00:09:16,724 --> 00:09:18,058
Are more important
Than you seem to imagine.
190
00:09:18,125 --> 00:09:21,361
Now, I urge you
To think very carefully
191
00:09:21,428 --> 00:09:22,763
About what you do next.
192
00:09:28,836 --> 00:09:31,271
Martha, get me
Martin garnett, please.
Thank you.
193
00:09:32,740 --> 00:09:34,541
Garnett's the deputy
District attorney.
194
00:09:34,608 --> 00:09:36,810
I'm gonna ask him
To have the grand jury
Issue subpoenas
195
00:09:36,877 --> 00:09:39,279
For everything related
To the langner case.
196
00:09:39,346 --> 00:09:43,984
Just to satisfy my own
Stupid, uninformed curiosity.
197
00:09:48,689 --> 00:09:51,091
There's no reason
To involve a grand jury.
198
00:09:53,593 --> 00:09:56,263
I can arrange
For the doctors
To speak with you
199
00:09:56,329 --> 00:09:58,999
And for the hospital
To turn over the video.
200
00:09:59,066 --> 00:10:00,668
But the charts
Remain sealed.
201
00:10:00,734 --> 00:10:01,702
That's better.
202
00:10:01,769 --> 00:10:03,036
And how long will this take?
203
00:10:03,103 --> 00:10:04,371
I hope we don't need
To make an appointment.
204
00:10:04,437 --> 00:10:05,405
I'll be back in 2 hours.
205
00:10:05,472 --> 00:10:06,539
Excellent.
206
00:10:06,606 --> 00:10:08,241
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
207
00:10:10,744 --> 00:10:11,679
Wow. The motto is
208
00:10:11,745 --> 00:10:13,146
First do no harm?
209
00:10:13,213 --> 00:10:14,514
They should add, second,
210
00:10:14,581 --> 00:10:15,916
Don't be so obnoxious.
211
00:10:15,983 --> 00:10:17,117
You realize
That by limiting
212
00:10:17,184 --> 00:10:18,752
The information
They turn over,
213
00:10:18,819 --> 00:10:20,287
They're trying to guide
Our conclusions.
214
00:10:20,353 --> 00:10:22,122
You're welcome, brenda.
215
00:10:24,091 --> 00:10:25,292
Thank you.
216
00:10:27,995 --> 00:10:29,529
As you can see,
There was already
Significant bleeding
217
00:10:29,596 --> 00:10:30,731
When I began the egd.
218
00:10:30,798 --> 00:10:31,899
Brenda: the egd?
219
00:10:31,965 --> 00:10:33,834
Esophago-gastro
Duodenoscopy.
220
00:10:33,901 --> 00:10:35,769
It's when the doctors
Slide the scope
221
00:10:35,836 --> 00:10:37,771
Down the patient's throat
To get a visualization
222
00:10:37,838 --> 00:10:41,541
Of the upper gastro
Intestinal tract.
223
00:10:41,608 --> 00:10:43,744
What causes this kind
Of bleeding?
224
00:10:43,811 --> 00:10:45,478
Hematemesis.
Vomiting blood.
225
00:10:45,545 --> 00:10:46,947
It can be caused
By gastritis,
226
00:10:47,014 --> 00:10:48,148
Or in rare cases,
Mallory-weiss tears.
227
00:10:48,215 --> 00:10:49,616
Which are?
228
00:10:49,683 --> 00:10:53,120
Burst blood vessels
In the mucosa
Of the esophagus.
229
00:10:53,186 --> 00:10:55,022
I did a year
In medical school.
230
00:10:57,858 --> 00:11:00,127
Cauterization should
Reduce that bleeding,
231
00:11:00,193 --> 00:11:01,962
But 3 minutes
Into the procedure,
232
00:11:02,029 --> 00:11:04,331
The patient's blood pressure
Dropped to 60 over 30,
233
00:11:04,397 --> 00:11:06,700
And I began transfusing
With o-negative.
234
00:11:06,767 --> 00:11:08,802
And called for
Surgical back-up.
235
00:11:08,869 --> 00:11:10,237
I arrived less than
10 minutes later,
236
00:11:10,303 --> 00:11:12,439
And performed
An emergency
Laparotomy.
237
00:11:12,505 --> 00:11:16,509
Exploring the
Abdominal cavity
For hemorrhage.
238
00:11:16,576 --> 00:11:19,479
At 19:16,
The patient coded.
239
00:11:19,546 --> 00:11:21,982
At 19:19,
I discovered a bleed
240
00:11:22,049 --> 00:11:23,583
In the left
Gastric artery.
241
00:11:23,650 --> 00:11:26,353
As I began suturing
This perforation,
242
00:11:26,419 --> 00:11:29,489
The patient
Flatlined.
243
00:11:29,556 --> 00:11:33,626
Had no meaningful
Heart function
For 3 minutes.
244
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:35,195
Despite closing
This rupture,
245
00:11:35,262 --> 00:11:37,230
The patient's
Diastolic pressure
246
00:11:37,297 --> 00:11:38,866
Never rose above
20 millimeters.
247
00:11:38,932 --> 00:11:40,901
Repeated attempts
To establish
248
00:11:40,968 --> 00:11:43,270
A normal
Sinus rhythm failed,
249
00:11:43,336 --> 00:11:46,106
And we pronounced
The patient dead
At 19:31.
250
00:11:48,675 --> 00:11:50,110
Thank you, buzz.
251
00:11:50,177 --> 00:11:51,711
If you were to review
Your charts
252
00:11:51,779 --> 00:11:53,046
With our forensic
Pathologists,
253
00:11:53,113 --> 00:11:54,948
Would they be
Entirely consistent
254
00:11:55,015 --> 00:11:57,517
With what you just
Told us?
255
00:11:57,584 --> 00:11:58,651
No.
256
00:11:58,718 --> 00:11:59,887
No. The charts
Would indicate
257
00:11:59,953 --> 00:12:02,289
Something significant
Beyond that.
258
00:12:02,355 --> 00:12:05,125
Over the past 6 months,
Melissa langner
259
00:12:05,192 --> 00:12:07,761
Brought her son
To the e.R. Repeatedly
260
00:12:07,828 --> 00:12:09,830
With complaints
Ranging from
261
00:12:09,897 --> 00:12:12,933
Allergies to asthma to
Acute gastric distress.
262
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,568
The exact cause
Of these various ailments
263
00:12:15,635 --> 00:12:17,170
Remains undetermined,
264
00:12:17,237 --> 00:12:19,472
But they share
One common element.
265
00:12:21,274 --> 00:12:24,077
They all could've been
Artificially induced.
266
00:12:24,144 --> 00:12:25,445
And as you saw
Last night,
267
00:12:25,512 --> 00:12:28,081
Melissa langner is
Emotionally unstable.
268
00:12:28,148 --> 00:12:30,750
Are you suggesting
Melissa langner
269
00:12:30,818 --> 00:12:33,153
Deliberately made
Her son sick?
I am.
270
00:12:33,220 --> 00:12:34,487
And the treating
Physicians
271
00:12:34,554 --> 00:12:35,622
Thought this
Might be a case
272
00:12:35,688 --> 00:12:37,190
Of munchausen's
By proxy
273
00:12:37,257 --> 00:12:38,892
And so listed it
On the boy's charts.
274
00:12:38,959 --> 00:12:41,661
Doctors woods and
Sands were concerned
275
00:12:41,728 --> 00:12:43,663
That bringing
These allegations
To your attention
276
00:12:43,730 --> 00:12:46,033
Would needlessly
Complicate a tragedy.
277
00:12:46,099 --> 00:12:48,235
But if you're certain
This is murder,
278
00:12:48,301 --> 00:12:49,870
Then I'd consider
Melissa langner
279
00:12:49,937 --> 00:12:51,404
A serious suspect.
280
00:12:59,612 --> 00:13:01,949
On such a sad day.
281
00:13:02,015 --> 00:13:04,417
Do you have someone
Staying with you?
282
00:13:04,484 --> 00:13:06,619
No, but I--I'm...
283
00:13:06,686 --> 00:13:07,888
Managing.
284
00:13:09,522 --> 00:13:11,158
Thank you for fol--
285
00:13:11,224 --> 00:13:13,994
Following...
Through on this.
286
00:13:14,061 --> 00:13:15,695
Well, we are committed
287
00:13:15,762 --> 00:13:18,031
To discovering
Exactly what happened
To nicholas.
288
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:21,835
I don't believe you've met
Lieutenant tao.
289
00:13:23,336 --> 00:13:24,371
My condolences.
290
00:13:26,473 --> 00:13:28,876
Ms. Langner,
291
00:13:28,942 --> 00:13:31,178
This morning,
Dr. Woods and dr. Sands
292
00:13:31,244 --> 00:13:33,813
Gave their statements,
And they maintain
293
00:13:33,881 --> 00:13:35,448
Your son died from
Severe internal bleeding.
294
00:13:35,515 --> 00:13:37,650
Despite dr. Woods
Having closed a perforation
295
00:13:37,717 --> 00:13:39,419
In the left gastric artery.
296
00:13:39,486 --> 00:13:40,954
Have you seen
The charts yet?
297
00:13:41,021 --> 00:13:42,555
Tao: we haven't,
But we've been assured
298
00:13:42,622 --> 00:13:44,191
There's nothing in there
That would contradict
299
00:13:44,257 --> 00:13:48,361
The video
Of your son's surgery.
300
00:13:48,428 --> 00:13:50,097
I'm sorry to ask you
Questions
301
00:13:50,163 --> 00:13:52,832
On such a hard day,
But, um...
302
00:13:52,900 --> 00:13:54,701
We were also told
That in recent months,
303
00:13:54,767 --> 00:13:57,737
Nicky's made
Approximately a dozen
Trips to the e.R.
304
00:13:57,804 --> 00:13:59,139
Is that true?
305
00:14:02,142 --> 00:14:05,979
Nicky had always been
A healthy kid.
306
00:14:06,046 --> 00:14:08,381
And then his dad died
Last july,
307
00:14:09,149 --> 00:14:11,618
It was totally unexpected.
308
00:14:11,684 --> 00:14:15,088
Oh, my.
309
00:14:15,155 --> 00:14:17,190
So nicky is the second
Family member
310
00:14:17,257 --> 00:14:18,258
You've lost in a year?
311
00:14:18,325 --> 00:14:20,127
That's so unfortunate.
312
00:14:20,193 --> 00:14:23,363
After my husband died,
I was almost suicidal.
313
00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:25,398
I'm so sorry.
314
00:14:25,465 --> 00:14:27,234
Have you been talking
To anyone about this?
315
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:30,971
Yes. And with
Antidepressants,
316
00:14:31,038 --> 00:14:34,707
Things improved,
But nicky,
317
00:14:34,774 --> 00:14:36,776
Suddenly, he was sick.
318
00:14:36,843 --> 00:14:37,945
All the time.
319
00:14:38,011 --> 00:14:40,914
It was like he picked up
Every germ.
320
00:14:40,981 --> 00:14:43,183
The flu, the chicken pox.
321
00:14:44,717 --> 00:14:47,320
Yesterday,
He was vomiting blood.
322
00:14:49,222 --> 00:14:50,223
Any idea
323
00:14:50,290 --> 00:14:52,192
What might have caused
Your son to throw up?
324
00:15:01,468 --> 00:15:05,172
There are a hundred
Different physical reasons.
325
00:15:05,238 --> 00:15:08,375
Or it could've been
A lot of stress.
326
00:15:08,441 --> 00:15:11,144
Losing his dad,
Being in a new school.
327
00:15:12,412 --> 00:15:14,114
Was nicky being treated
For anything
328
00:15:14,181 --> 00:15:17,384
That might have affected
His motor coordination?
329
00:15:17,450 --> 00:15:19,552
No. Why?
330
00:15:20,954 --> 00:15:22,922
Well, when we
Examined nicholas,
331
00:15:22,990 --> 00:15:24,958
He seemed to have
Several bruises.
332
00:15:26,093 --> 00:15:27,094
Was he bumping
Into objects
333
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,328
Or falling down
A lot?
334
00:15:31,898 --> 00:15:33,166
How else do you think
335
00:15:33,233 --> 00:15:35,168
He might have sustained
Those injuries?
336
00:15:41,374 --> 00:15:44,444
Are you suggesting
I hurt nicky?
337
00:15:44,511 --> 00:15:46,046
We have to consider
All the possibilities.
338
00:15:46,113 --> 00:15:50,017
That...Isn't...
A possibility.
339
00:15:51,084 --> 00:15:53,320
That is an insult.
340
00:15:53,386 --> 00:15:57,057
My son was everything to me.
341
00:15:57,124 --> 00:15:59,259
Do you really believe
I would have hit him?
342
00:16:01,861 --> 00:16:03,263
Do you?
343
00:16:03,330 --> 00:16:04,431
Maybe not hit him,
But hurt him.
344
00:16:04,497 --> 00:16:06,133
Doctors have access
To things
345
00:16:06,199 --> 00:16:07,334
That can make
Children sick,
346
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,968
And you're
A medical student.
347
00:16:09,036 --> 00:16:13,073
Well, thank you
For your commitment
348
00:16:13,140 --> 00:16:16,176
To finding out what happened,
Ms. Johnson.
349
00:16:16,243 --> 00:16:18,645
But I won't be needing
Your help anymore.
350
00:16:19,979 --> 00:16:21,614
Mrs. Langner.
351
00:16:23,783 --> 00:16:25,352
We have to help.
352
00:16:25,418 --> 00:16:26,619
Whether you
Like it or not.
353
00:16:36,429 --> 00:16:38,231
Last 10 years,
I've worked 3 cases
354
00:16:38,298 --> 00:16:39,799
Of munchausen by proxy.
355
00:16:39,866 --> 00:16:42,135
Mothers are supposed to be
Making their kids sick
356
00:16:42,202 --> 00:16:43,936
To get sympathy
For themselves.
357
00:16:44,003 --> 00:16:45,305
It's bullshit.
358
00:16:45,372 --> 00:16:46,439
Really?
359
00:16:46,506 --> 00:16:48,108
And what about all
The surveillance tapes
360
00:16:48,175 --> 00:16:49,509
Of parents
Overdosing their kids
361
00:16:49,576 --> 00:16:51,078
And smothering them
With pillows?
362
00:16:51,144 --> 00:16:52,845
Hey, I'm not saying
It never happens.
363
00:16:52,912 --> 00:16:54,547
But every case
I saw,
364
00:16:54,614 --> 00:16:55,982
There was always
A sick kid,
365
00:16:56,049 --> 00:16:57,550
A pain
In the ass mom,
366
00:16:57,617 --> 00:17:00,253
And a doctor
Who wanted them
Both to disappear.
367
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,388
Easiest way
To accomplish that
368
00:17:01,454 --> 00:17:02,789
Is say the word
Munchausen.
369
00:17:02,855 --> 00:17:05,458
Ok, lieutenant flynn, we
Appreciate your perspective,
370
00:17:05,525 --> 00:17:07,360
But as you are
Our resident expert
371
00:17:07,427 --> 00:17:08,895
In munchausen's
By proxy, please...
372
00:17:08,961 --> 00:17:10,497
You want
The profile? Fine.
373
00:17:10,563 --> 00:17:13,233
The fbi says that
The vast majority
374
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:15,402
Of munchausen
Perpetrators are women.
375
00:17:15,468 --> 00:17:17,304
80 percent
Have medical backgrounds,
376
00:17:17,370 --> 00:17:19,439
And most are under
Psychiatric treatment.
377
00:17:19,506 --> 00:17:22,509
So far we're batting
A thousand.
Anything else?
378
00:17:22,575 --> 00:17:24,311
Parent tends
To keep their child
379
00:17:24,377 --> 00:17:25,512
From other adults
380
00:17:25,578 --> 00:17:27,614
And away from
Outside activities
381
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,282
Like playing
With other kids.
382
00:17:29,349 --> 00:17:30,717
Do we know anything
383
00:17:30,783 --> 00:17:33,220
About nicholas langner's
Extended family?
384
00:17:33,286 --> 00:17:34,721
School, friends, anything?
385
00:17:34,787 --> 00:17:38,691
Nicky attended
Robert hutchins academy.
386
00:17:38,758 --> 00:17:41,328
It's an expensive
Private school,
387
00:17:41,394 --> 00:17:42,629
And the teacher said
He's intelligent,
388
00:17:42,695 --> 00:17:44,197
Hardworking, shy.
389
00:17:44,264 --> 00:17:45,698
One last thing, chief.
390
00:17:45,765 --> 00:17:47,867
When munchausen happens
Among medical people,
391
00:17:47,934 --> 00:17:49,436
It's to cause illness
392
00:17:49,502 --> 00:17:52,205
Then save the kid
To impress
Other doctors.
393
00:17:52,272 --> 00:17:54,174
An added incentive
For melissa langner.
394
00:17:54,241 --> 00:17:55,908
The doctors
Treating her son
395
00:17:55,975 --> 00:17:59,279
Were the same ones
She'd have for
Medical rotations.
396
00:17:59,346 --> 00:18:01,781
Whatever happened
To good old fashioned
Brown-nosing?
397
00:18:01,848 --> 00:18:04,083
Except she didn't
Save the kid, did she?
398
00:18:04,151 --> 00:18:06,453
Daniels:
Preliminary autopsy report.
399
00:18:06,519 --> 00:18:09,722
Nicholas langner died from
Massive internal bleeding.
400
00:18:09,789 --> 00:18:12,959
Dr. Crippen found
3 prescription drugs
In his system
401
00:18:13,025 --> 00:18:14,461
All within
Acceptable levels,
402
00:18:14,527 --> 00:18:17,230
And none could've acted
With that specificity
403
00:18:17,297 --> 00:18:19,299
On his gastric artery.
404
00:18:19,366 --> 00:18:22,369
Ok, lieutenant provenza,
Please get a warrant
405
00:18:22,435 --> 00:18:23,936
And search
Melissa langner's house.
406
00:18:24,003 --> 00:18:25,305
Keep a special eye out
407
00:18:25,372 --> 00:18:27,474
For any substances
That might not have shown up
408
00:18:27,540 --> 00:18:29,942
In her son's blood work
But could've made him sick.
409
00:18:30,009 --> 00:18:33,680
Lieutenant flynn,
Please keep looking
For langner relatives.
410
00:18:33,746 --> 00:18:35,815
Sergeant gabriel,
I think we ought to find out
411
00:18:35,882 --> 00:18:38,518
If nick langner
Played well with others.
412
00:18:38,585 --> 00:18:40,086
What's the name
Of his school again?
413
00:18:40,153 --> 00:18:43,490
Many of these kids
Haven't even
Lost a pet.
414
00:18:43,556 --> 00:18:44,624
Imagine
Trying to explain
415
00:18:44,691 --> 00:18:46,226
The death
Of a classmate.
416
00:18:46,293 --> 00:18:49,862
My nicky was such
A special little boy.
417
00:18:49,929 --> 00:18:53,266
Did you have much
Interaction with his mother?
418
00:18:53,333 --> 00:18:55,034
In 25 years of teaching,
419
00:18:55,101 --> 00:18:58,405
I've dealt with
A lot of
Overprotective parents,
420
00:18:58,471 --> 00:19:02,375
But they pale
In comparison
To melissa langner.
421
00:19:02,442 --> 00:19:03,843
What do you mean by that?
422
00:19:03,910 --> 00:19:05,978
Well, for example,
423
00:19:06,045 --> 00:19:07,814
When nicky
First arrived,
424
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,916
He was placed with
One of our
Younger instructors.
425
00:19:09,982 --> 00:19:13,586
But ms. Langner
Reduced her to tears
So often,
426
00:19:13,653 --> 00:19:15,522
With so many
Accusations of
Carelessness,
427
00:19:15,588 --> 00:19:17,857
That I moved him
Into my own class.
428
00:19:19,726 --> 00:19:22,862
As we discussed,
Nicky hadn't been here
Very long,
429
00:19:22,929 --> 00:19:25,031
And he was shy.
430
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,033
Tyler crosby wasn't
Just his best friend,
431
00:19:27,099 --> 00:19:28,535
He was his only friend.
432
00:19:28,601 --> 00:19:30,970
I've gotten permission
From tyler's mother
433
00:19:31,037 --> 00:19:32,272
To have him
Speak with you,
434
00:19:32,339 --> 00:19:34,541
But, of course,
You will be sensitive
435
00:19:34,607 --> 00:19:36,276
To what he's
Going through.
436
00:19:36,343 --> 00:19:38,878
Absolutely, ma'am.
Of course.
437
00:19:38,945 --> 00:19:40,547
Tyler?
438
00:19:40,613 --> 00:19:42,415
I'm brenda leigh johnson.
439
00:19:42,482 --> 00:19:44,617
Do you know why I'm here?
440
00:19:44,684 --> 00:19:45,752
Nicky.
441
00:19:45,818 --> 00:19:47,153
That's right.
442
00:19:47,220 --> 00:19:49,489
We're here to talk about
Your friend.
443
00:19:51,891 --> 00:19:55,328
It's hard when someone
You care about passes away.
444
00:19:55,395 --> 00:19:56,596
I'm sorry.
445
00:19:56,663 --> 00:20:00,467
I didn't mean to.
I didn't.
446
00:20:00,533 --> 00:20:02,068
I was only playing.
447
00:20:02,134 --> 00:20:06,506
You didn't mean to what?
448
00:20:06,573 --> 00:20:08,708
I didn't mean
To kill him.
449
00:20:08,775 --> 00:20:10,577
I'm sorry.
450
00:20:10,643 --> 00:20:12,479
Please don't
Arrest me.
451
00:20:12,545 --> 00:20:15,214
Why--why do you think
You killed him?
452
00:20:15,282 --> 00:20:18,685
His mom said
Not to wrestle.
453
00:20:18,751 --> 00:20:20,052
He wanted to.
454
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,290
He came at me.
He made me.
455
00:20:23,356 --> 00:20:26,192
What--what did you do?
456
00:20:26,259 --> 00:20:29,529
I turned him over
And I held him down.
457
00:20:30,830 --> 00:20:32,599
But he was laughing.
458
00:20:34,767 --> 00:20:37,370
I didn't mean
To hurt him.
459
00:20:39,606 --> 00:20:41,574
Please don't tell
Nicky's mom.
460
00:20:41,641 --> 00:20:43,676
Please,
I'm afraid of her.
461
00:20:45,378 --> 00:20:47,179
Did nicky's mom
Threaten you?
462
00:20:47,246 --> 00:20:50,750
Yeah. Yeah,
She warned me.
463
00:20:50,817 --> 00:20:53,019
She warned me
Not to hurt him.
464
00:20:55,322 --> 00:20:56,389
Oh...
465
00:20:56,456 --> 00:20:59,025
[tyler cries]
466
00:21:04,030 --> 00:21:06,533
Langner's house
Has padding on every
467
00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:09,669
Table corner and covers
On all the electrical outlets.
468
00:21:09,736 --> 00:21:11,338
I'm telling you,
This is a mom
469
00:21:11,404 --> 00:21:14,474
Who wanted to build
A giant bubble
Around her kid.
470
00:21:14,541 --> 00:21:17,644
All the medicine cabinets
Are full of vitamins.
Not to mention
471
00:21:17,710 --> 00:21:19,211
3 half empty bottles
Of ipecac.
472
00:21:19,278 --> 00:21:21,113
That induces vomiting.
473
00:21:21,180 --> 00:21:24,116
You do that enough,
And anybody's insides
Will start to bleed.
474
00:21:24,183 --> 00:21:26,719
Chief, I found
Melissa langner's in-laws
In...
475
00:21:27,887 --> 00:21:29,288
Rancho palos verdes.
476
00:21:29,356 --> 00:21:31,123
Beverly
And walter langner.
477
00:21:31,190 --> 00:21:33,893
They're in your office,
And they want to talk.
478
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,895
Ok.
479
00:21:35,962 --> 00:21:38,130
We were both...
480
00:21:38,197 --> 00:21:41,434
Horrified by nicky's death.
481
00:21:41,501 --> 00:21:43,336
But not completely surprised.
482
00:21:43,403 --> 00:21:46,205
This past year...
483
00:21:46,272 --> 00:21:49,208
Since our son died
So unexpectedly,
484
00:21:49,275 --> 00:21:51,878
Melissa's become
Increasingly...
485
00:21:51,944 --> 00:21:52,879
Well...
486
00:21:52,945 --> 00:21:54,313
Paranoid.
487
00:21:54,381 --> 00:21:55,815
She refused to let us
Near nicky.
488
00:21:55,882 --> 00:21:59,452
We had to sue her to get
Limited visitation
489
00:21:59,519 --> 00:22:02,021
With our own grandson.
490
00:22:02,088 --> 00:22:04,524
It's so embarrassing.
491
00:22:04,591 --> 00:22:06,058
What reasons did she
Give the judge
492
00:22:06,125 --> 00:22:07,193
For denying you
Visits?
493
00:22:07,259 --> 00:22:09,696
She claimed that nicky
Was too sick
494
00:22:09,762 --> 00:22:11,431
To spend time
Away from home.
495
00:22:11,498 --> 00:22:14,434
And that my occasional
Cigar at dinner
496
00:22:14,501 --> 00:22:16,302
Posed an unreasonable
Health risk.
497
00:22:16,369 --> 00:22:17,837
If he was sickly,
498
00:22:17,904 --> 00:22:19,772
It was only because
Melissa made him that way.
499
00:22:19,839 --> 00:22:22,174
But I don't blame her alone.
500
00:22:22,241 --> 00:22:26,879
That boyfriend of hers
Played a part in this.
501
00:22:26,946 --> 00:22:28,748
Um, you didn't
Mention a boyfriend.
502
00:22:28,815 --> 00:22:31,017
A couple of months
After our son died,
503
00:22:31,083 --> 00:22:33,820
She took up with this guy
She dated in high school.
504
00:22:33,886 --> 00:22:36,055
Jason higgins.
505
00:22:36,122 --> 00:22:37,590
She never let us meet him,
506
00:22:37,657 --> 00:22:39,559
But the second that nicky
Told us about him,
507
00:22:39,626 --> 00:22:41,360
I had him checked out.
508
00:22:41,428 --> 00:22:42,895
He has an ex,
509
00:22:42,962 --> 00:22:45,998
He owes alimony,
He owes child support,
510
00:22:46,065 --> 00:22:48,167
And there's a restraining
Order against him, too.
511
00:22:48,234 --> 00:22:51,370
Years back, we set up
A trust for our son.
512
00:22:51,438 --> 00:22:54,607
And, uh... After he died,
513
00:22:54,674 --> 00:22:58,611
It passed on
To our grandson, and...
514
00:22:58,678 --> 00:23:00,880
Now that he's gone, too--
515
00:23:00,947 --> 00:23:02,214
That money...
516
00:23:02,281 --> 00:23:05,351
It's $3 million today,
517
00:23:05,418 --> 00:23:07,186
Goes to melissa,
518
00:23:07,253 --> 00:23:11,891
And if she marries him,
This jason higgins.
519
00:23:21,468 --> 00:23:24,203
So we're gonna play
Good cop, bad cop.
520
00:23:24,270 --> 00:23:26,238
You're not gonna make me
Be the good cop, are you?
521
00:23:26,305 --> 00:23:28,207
I don't think that's
Possible, lieutenant.
522
00:23:28,274 --> 00:23:30,877
How bad do you
Want me to be?
523
00:23:30,943 --> 00:23:32,011
Go for broke.
524
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,416
Mr. Higgins, deputy chief
Brenda leigh johnson
Of the lapd.
525
00:23:39,886 --> 00:23:41,153
I just can't believe
He's dead.
526
00:23:41,220 --> 00:23:43,623
I mean, the little guy
Got sick a lot,
527
00:23:43,690 --> 00:23:45,792
But I really thought
He'd grow out of it.
528
00:23:45,858 --> 00:23:48,160
I was the same way
When I was his age.
529
00:23:48,227 --> 00:23:49,195
Yeah, and look at you now.
530
00:23:49,261 --> 00:23:51,297
Easy, lieutenant.
531
00:23:51,363 --> 00:23:53,666
How would you describe
Melissa langner's behavior
532
00:23:53,733 --> 00:23:56,869
Over the last
Several months?
533
00:23:56,936 --> 00:24:01,908
Melissa...And I
Have known each other
Since we were 15.
534
00:24:01,974 --> 00:24:04,577
She's always been,
I don't know,
535
00:24:04,644 --> 00:24:05,945
Tightly wound.
536
00:24:06,012 --> 00:24:07,279
And her husband goes
And drops dead
537
00:24:07,346 --> 00:24:09,015
On his morning jog,
I mean,
538
00:24:09,081 --> 00:24:12,652
That's enough
To make anybody
Lose it a little bit.
539
00:24:12,719 --> 00:24:15,221
Do you believe
Melissa langner had lost it?
540
00:24:17,123 --> 00:24:19,492
You think melissa
Had something to do
With nicky's death?
541
00:24:19,559 --> 00:24:21,060
No way. Oh, no.
542
00:24:21,127 --> 00:24:23,129
Melissa's whole life
Was about nicky.
543
00:24:23,195 --> 00:24:26,666
She was totally
Obsessed with that kid.
544
00:24:26,733 --> 00:24:29,168
And how's your
Financial situation,
Mr. Higgins?
545
00:24:30,202 --> 00:24:31,538
Is this about my ex wife?
546
00:24:31,604 --> 00:24:32,939
'cause I settled with her
3 months ago.
547
00:24:33,005 --> 00:24:34,774
And I've made
Every payment since then.
548
00:24:34,841 --> 00:24:36,375
I'll show you
The cancelled checks
If you want.
549
00:24:36,442 --> 00:24:37,510
Why, you got 'em
On you?
550
00:24:37,577 --> 00:24:38,511
We understand your ex wife
Took out
551
00:24:38,578 --> 00:24:40,179
A restraining order
On you.
552
00:24:40,246 --> 00:24:43,149
Yeah. Because she wouldn't
Tell me why she was leaving,
553
00:24:43,215 --> 00:24:44,250
And I got a little mad.
554
00:24:44,316 --> 00:24:46,018
I sense that.
555
00:24:46,085 --> 00:24:48,220
Did you ever get mad
Like that with nick?
556
00:24:48,287 --> 00:24:49,388
No!
557
00:24:49,455 --> 00:24:50,923
Do I look like
The kind of guy
558
00:24:50,990 --> 00:24:52,424
Who'd beat up on
An 8-year-old kid?
559
00:24:52,491 --> 00:24:54,026
Are we talking boy or girl?
560
00:24:54,093 --> 00:24:55,795
Hey, screw you!
561
00:24:55,862 --> 00:24:56,996
Well, if that's an offer,
562
00:24:57,063 --> 00:24:58,898
You might be a little
Friendlier about it.
563
00:24:58,965 --> 00:24:59,999
Lieutenant.
564
00:25:00,066 --> 00:25:01,834
I asked you not to
Jump to conclusions.
565
00:25:01,901 --> 00:25:03,102
It could be that
Mr. Higgins here
566
00:25:03,169 --> 00:25:04,937
Had nothing to do
With this crime.
567
00:25:05,004 --> 00:25:07,039
When was the last time
You saw nick langner?
568
00:25:07,106 --> 00:25:09,308
All of a sudden,
I'm a suspect?
569
00:25:09,375 --> 00:25:11,611
I ain't seen nicky
Since last
Wednesday night
570
00:25:11,678 --> 00:25:12,979
When I broke up
With melissa.
571
00:25:13,980 --> 00:25:15,982
You broke up
With melissa langner?
572
00:25:16,048 --> 00:25:17,349
Why do you think
I didn't know anything
573
00:25:17,416 --> 00:25:18,651
About what happened
To nicky?
574
00:25:22,555 --> 00:25:23,990
I don't know, chief.
575
00:25:24,056 --> 00:25:26,292
If this guy didn't want the kid
But wanted the money,
576
00:25:26,358 --> 00:25:27,594
Why break up with her?
577
00:25:27,660 --> 00:25:28,828
Chief?
578
00:25:28,895 --> 00:25:30,096
This is something
You should see.
579
00:25:30,162 --> 00:25:31,731
Geez, tao.
I'm starting to think
580
00:25:31,798 --> 00:25:33,666
You enjoy
Looking at this stuff.
581
00:25:33,733 --> 00:25:36,068
These bruises
Are called purpura.
582
00:25:36,135 --> 00:25:37,604
They can be caused
Spontaneously
583
00:25:37,670 --> 00:25:40,539
By some blood
Clotting disorders.
584
00:25:40,607 --> 00:25:43,042
Are you suggesting
Maybe nobody hit nicky at all?
585
00:25:44,777 --> 00:25:46,713
Wouldn't a clotting disorder
Have been something
586
00:25:46,779 --> 00:25:49,682
That would've been
Diagnosed before surgery?
587
00:25:49,749 --> 00:25:51,818
Or could this have been
Artificially induced as well?
588
00:25:51,884 --> 00:25:53,119
I won't know for sure
Unless I have
589
00:25:53,185 --> 00:25:55,454
Dr. Crippen
Re-examine the body.
590
00:25:56,823 --> 00:25:59,892
Try and come back
With a definite answer
I can understand.
591
00:26:01,093 --> 00:26:02,228
And print outs.
592
00:26:02,294 --> 00:26:04,797
Chief?
Pope's office
Just called.
593
00:26:04,864 --> 00:26:08,234
He needs to see you
Right away.
594
00:26:08,300 --> 00:26:09,335
Oh...
595
00:26:15,107 --> 00:26:16,175
Chief johnson.
596
00:26:18,678 --> 00:26:19,712
I don't know
If you heard,
597
00:26:19,779 --> 00:26:21,280
But a couple
Of nights ago,
598
00:26:21,347 --> 00:26:23,415
A lady was
Strangled to death
On laurel canyon.
599
00:26:23,482 --> 00:26:25,451
An elderly woman
Living alone.
600
00:26:25,517 --> 00:26:27,353
Yeah. Right.
601
00:26:27,419 --> 00:26:28,821
And last night,
There was another
Homicide
602
00:26:28,888 --> 00:26:30,189
Just around the corner.
603
00:26:30,256 --> 00:26:31,724
Could be the start
Of a spree,
604
00:26:31,791 --> 00:26:33,492
So you understand why
This investigation
605
00:26:33,559 --> 00:26:35,061
Has picked up
Greater urgency.
606
00:26:35,127 --> 00:26:37,997
My detectives are
Already stretched
A bit thin
607
00:26:38,064 --> 00:26:39,699
And since
Priority homicide
608
00:26:39,766 --> 00:26:41,701
Isn't really
Doing much right now...
609
00:26:41,768 --> 00:26:44,503
I appreciate the gravity
Of the situation, commander,
610
00:26:44,570 --> 00:26:46,405
But as it so happens,
We are busy.
611
00:26:46,472 --> 00:26:49,575
I'm close to resolving
The nicholas langner
Investigation.
612
00:26:49,642 --> 00:26:51,077
Nicholas langner?
613
00:26:51,143 --> 00:26:52,511
The boy who died
During surgery?
614
00:26:52,578 --> 00:26:55,081
Yes, this past day
Has opened up new leads.
615
00:26:55,147 --> 00:26:57,650
We are looking at
A murder a night
In the hollywood hills.
616
00:26:57,717 --> 00:26:59,385
One more, and this
Jumps to the papers
617
00:26:59,451 --> 00:27:01,353
And all hell breaks loose.
618
00:27:01,420 --> 00:27:03,990
Look, I have kids.
619
00:27:04,056 --> 00:27:06,125
And what happened
To that boy is...
620
00:27:07,459 --> 00:27:08,995
I can't even think about it.
621
00:27:09,061 --> 00:27:10,797
It's every parent's
Worst nightmare.
622
00:27:10,863 --> 00:27:14,566
Is the mother suffering?
Of course.
623
00:27:14,633 --> 00:27:15,868
Does that make it murder?
No.
624
00:27:15,935 --> 00:27:17,870
Is it a case
For priority homicide?
625
00:27:17,937 --> 00:27:19,338
Absolutely not.
I--
626
00:27:19,405 --> 00:27:21,307
It's not.
It just is not.
627
00:27:22,574 --> 00:27:23,776
Now, get your people
To robbery/homicide
628
00:27:23,843 --> 00:27:25,511
As soon as possible.
629
00:27:25,577 --> 00:27:27,914
If this is a spree killer,
You could be taking over
The case tonight.
630
00:27:29,949 --> 00:27:32,151
Ok, then.
Thank you.
631
00:27:32,218 --> 00:27:33,953
Commander.
632
00:27:36,823 --> 00:27:38,057
So we're just gonna
Let it go.
633
00:27:38,124 --> 00:27:40,192
And we have to go
To robbery/homicide.
634
00:27:40,259 --> 00:27:41,360
This is complete crap.
635
00:27:41,427 --> 00:27:42,729
We have momentum.
636
00:27:42,795 --> 00:27:44,263
We're getting close
To something here.
637
00:27:44,330 --> 00:27:46,733
Uh, chief?
It's lieutenant tao.
638
00:27:46,799 --> 00:27:48,200
He says it's urgent.
639
00:27:49,635 --> 00:27:50,970
Hold on a second.
640
00:27:54,273 --> 00:27:55,041
Chief johnson.
641
00:27:55,107 --> 00:27:57,176
Tao: chief.
We got a problem.
642
00:27:57,243 --> 00:28:00,446
The morgue released
Nicholas langner's body.
643
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:02,381
All right. Well, get over
To the funeral home
644
00:28:02,448 --> 00:28:03,983
Before it gets cremated
Or embalmed.
645
00:28:04,050 --> 00:28:05,584
Well, that's the thing.
646
00:28:05,651 --> 00:28:08,287
Melissa langner
Didn't send the body
To a funeral home.
647
00:28:08,354 --> 00:28:10,857
She released it
To her medical school.
648
00:28:10,923 --> 00:28:14,160
Ok. Thank you,
Lieutenant tao.
649
00:28:19,065 --> 00:28:21,100
Lieutenant flynn
And provenza.
650
00:28:21,167 --> 00:28:23,135
Please report
To robbery/homicide
651
00:28:23,202 --> 00:28:24,370
And give detective
Ross a hand.
652
00:28:24,436 --> 00:28:25,704
Ross, huh? Yeah.
653
00:28:25,772 --> 00:28:26,773
I'll give him
A hand all right.
654
00:28:26,839 --> 00:28:29,241
Sawed off little runt.
655
00:28:29,308 --> 00:28:32,478
I'll push him
Off the hollywood hills.
656
00:28:32,544 --> 00:28:34,246
Uh...
What about me, chief?
657
00:28:34,313 --> 00:28:36,382
Yeah, you, too,
Sergeant gabriel.
658
00:28:39,986 --> 00:28:43,122
But on your way there...
659
00:28:43,189 --> 00:28:45,291
Get the deputy d.A.
To convene a grand jury
660
00:28:45,357 --> 00:28:47,693
To subpoena nicky langner's
Hospital records.
661
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:52,064
And also
The doctor's schedules
For last weekend, please.
662
00:28:54,566 --> 00:28:55,802
Thank you.
663
00:29:01,107 --> 00:29:02,741
Feel like driving,
Detective daniels?
664
00:29:02,809 --> 00:29:04,376
Where are we going?
665
00:29:04,443 --> 00:29:06,278
Robbery/homicide.
666
00:29:06,345 --> 00:29:09,381
By way of southwest
Pacific university.
667
00:29:13,052 --> 00:29:14,353
Pardon me, ma'am?
Yes?
668
00:29:14,420 --> 00:29:16,823
Can you tell me where
The anatomy lab is?
669
00:29:17,689 --> 00:29:18,858
Thank you.
670
00:29:35,875 --> 00:29:37,709
Oh...
671
00:29:37,776 --> 00:29:39,278
My god.
672
00:29:42,414 --> 00:29:43,850
Mrs. Langner.
673
00:29:48,487 --> 00:29:50,422
Wait until you see this.
674
00:30:04,036 --> 00:30:05,404
[door opens]
675
00:30:05,471 --> 00:30:07,273
This is the subpoenaed
Paperwork
676
00:30:07,339 --> 00:30:11,343
For each of nicholas langner's
12 e.R. Visits.
677
00:30:11,410 --> 00:30:12,678
Please.
678
00:30:12,744 --> 00:30:15,181
Detective daniels and I
Have gone through all of them.
679
00:30:16,448 --> 00:30:17,917
Though the doctors
Said they'd be there,
680
00:30:17,984 --> 00:30:19,051
There is not
A single notation
681
00:30:19,118 --> 00:30:20,386
On any of these charts
682
00:30:20,452 --> 00:30:22,154
Indicating
Munchausen's by proxy.
683
00:30:22,221 --> 00:30:24,857
So the reason howard pierce
Threw out that misdirect?
684
00:30:25,757 --> 00:30:27,093
See what time dr. Sands
685
00:30:27,159 --> 00:30:28,861
Ordered the cbc
And chem panel?
Uh-huh.
686
00:30:28,928 --> 00:30:30,396
And look when he started
The endoscopy.
687
00:30:30,462 --> 00:30:32,731
Now I've gone over
These test results
With forensics,
688
00:30:32,798 --> 00:30:36,568
Cbc shows nicholas langner's
Platelet count at 5,000.
689
00:30:36,635 --> 00:30:39,138
About 4 percent
Of what it would be
In a healthy kid.
690
00:30:39,205 --> 00:30:40,672
Help me, lieutenant tao.
691
00:30:40,739 --> 00:30:42,341
I have no idea
What you're talking about.
692
00:30:42,408 --> 00:30:45,011
It means he developed
A clotting disorder.
693
00:30:45,077 --> 00:30:47,146
He'd become sort of
A hemophiliac.
694
00:30:47,213 --> 00:30:49,781
So a doctor shoves
A scope down his throat,
695
00:30:49,848 --> 00:30:52,084
Makes a tear, and the kid
Bleeds to death.
696
00:30:52,151 --> 00:30:54,620
How would he develop
Something like this?
697
00:30:55,554 --> 00:30:58,590
Idiopathic
Thrombocytopenic purpora.
698
00:30:58,657 --> 00:31:00,792
I'm not even gonna try
And pronounce that.
699
00:31:00,859 --> 00:31:03,062
Also known as itp.
700
00:31:03,129 --> 00:31:05,331
It was probably
A temporary after effect
701
00:31:05,397 --> 00:31:07,399
Of a viral infection
Like the chicken pox.
702
00:31:07,466 --> 00:31:10,236
Melissa langner
Said he contracted it
A few months back.
703
00:31:10,302 --> 00:31:12,771
And a platelet count
That low
704
00:31:12,838 --> 00:31:14,806
Would've caused
Spontaneous bruising.
705
00:31:14,873 --> 00:31:16,976
So, in other words,
Maybe nobody hit him.
706
00:31:17,043 --> 00:31:20,146
Or maybe he wrestled
When his mother
Told him not to.
707
00:31:22,148 --> 00:31:25,351
All right, then.
Thank y'all.
708
00:31:25,417 --> 00:31:26,385
Good job.
709
00:31:34,927 --> 00:31:37,296
Have you looked at
My camcorder tape?
710
00:31:37,363 --> 00:31:38,998
Not yet. I will.
711
00:31:40,266 --> 00:31:41,968
So, ms. Langner,
I have to tell you,
712
00:31:42,034 --> 00:31:44,370
I have been
A criminal investigator
For almost 10 years.
713
00:31:44,436 --> 00:31:47,239
And I had a very
Interesting life
Before that,
714
00:31:47,306 --> 00:31:49,841
But this afternoon,
That was a first for me.
715
00:31:49,908 --> 00:31:52,611
You have to look at the tape.
716
00:31:54,513 --> 00:31:56,415
I know you still think
I had something to do
With nicky's death.
717
00:31:56,482 --> 00:31:58,350
Well, what am I
Supposed to think?
718
00:31:58,417 --> 00:32:01,253
Your son contracts
A series of
Unexplained illnesses,
719
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:02,588
You intimidate
His teacher,
720
00:32:02,654 --> 00:32:04,490
His 9-year-old friend,
His grandparents,
721
00:32:04,556 --> 00:32:06,392
And then, on top
Of everything else,
722
00:32:06,458 --> 00:32:08,294
You perform an
Unsanctioned dissection
723
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,629
Of the boy
You say you loved.
724
00:32:10,696 --> 00:32:14,400
It was the only way
To prove what I believed.
725
00:32:14,466 --> 00:32:17,336
And what your coroner
Should've discovered.
726
00:32:18,737 --> 00:32:21,540
Woods told you...
727
00:32:21,607 --> 00:32:23,742
He'd repaired
The left gastric artery.
728
00:32:23,809 --> 00:32:25,211
He lied.
729
00:32:28,947 --> 00:32:30,449
Don't believe me.
730
00:32:31,883 --> 00:32:33,352
Look at the tape.
731
00:32:37,656 --> 00:32:40,526
[melissa's voice]
I'm under the omentum.
732
00:32:40,592 --> 00:32:42,328
And I have located
733
00:32:42,394 --> 00:32:47,499
The left...
Gastric artery.
734
00:32:49,468 --> 00:32:51,403
There...
735
00:32:54,106 --> 00:32:56,342
There is the perforation.
736
00:32:56,408 --> 00:33:00,046
There are only 2 stitches
737
00:33:00,112 --> 00:33:04,483
In a perforation
Which needed 8 to 10
738
00:33:04,550 --> 00:33:05,917
For closure.
739
00:33:05,984 --> 00:33:09,121
They never sealed
The artery.
740
00:33:09,188 --> 00:33:11,590
Ok. That's enough, buzz.
Thank you.
741
00:33:11,657 --> 00:33:14,460
Can you play the hospital
Surgery footage now?
742
00:33:20,732 --> 00:33:22,668
Can you magnify his hands?
743
00:33:22,734 --> 00:33:23,669
Just give me one second.
744
00:33:32,411 --> 00:33:34,213
What am I looking at?
745
00:33:35,747 --> 00:33:37,449
A man...
746
00:33:37,516 --> 00:33:41,087
Pretending to stitch
While a little boy
Bleeds out.
747
00:33:47,593 --> 00:33:49,027
Thank you, buzz.
748
00:33:51,097 --> 00:33:52,631
Howard?
I'm sorry,
749
00:33:52,698 --> 00:33:54,433
This has gone
Beyond the purview
Of the hospital.
750
00:33:55,901 --> 00:33:58,237
You and dr. Woods
Would be better served
By a lawyer.T,
751
00:33:58,304 --> 00:34:00,339
Excuse me,
Chief johnson.
752
00:34:06,578 --> 00:34:08,013
If you gentlemen
Have seen enough,
753
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,548
I'll have questions for you
754
00:34:09,615 --> 00:34:12,017
After I speak with
Deputy district attorney
Garnett here.
755
00:34:12,084 --> 00:34:14,986
Lieutenant tao,
Would you please escort
Doctors woods and sands
756
00:34:15,053 --> 00:34:18,124
Into interview room 1
And read them their rights?
Thank you so much.
757
00:34:18,190 --> 00:34:20,426
Right this way, doctors.
758
00:34:23,395 --> 00:34:26,064
You have the right
To remain silent...
759
00:34:26,132 --> 00:34:27,433
I'm a little lost.
760
00:34:27,499 --> 00:34:29,601
What do you want me
To do with these guys?
761
00:34:31,670 --> 00:34:32,704
Uh, well, to start with,
762
00:34:32,771 --> 00:34:35,341
You could indict them
For second degree murder
763
00:34:35,407 --> 00:34:38,377
Or conspiracy to commit
Grievous bodily injury,
764
00:34:38,444 --> 00:34:40,212
Negligent homicide?
Are you joking?
765
00:34:40,279 --> 00:34:42,781
Dr. Woods didn't try
To help that boy
Out at all.
766
00:34:42,848 --> 00:34:44,783
He's clearly
Putting on a show
For the camera.
767
00:34:44,850 --> 00:34:46,552
Or he's a surgeon
With poor aim
768
00:34:46,618 --> 00:34:48,254
After 16 hours
On his feet.
769
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:49,955
Listen, before I can
Prosecute a crime,
770
00:34:50,021 --> 00:34:51,690
I need to establish
A crime has been
Committed.
771
00:34:51,757 --> 00:34:53,659
What you're
Describing so far--
772
00:34:53,725 --> 00:34:56,162
The mother's video
Indicates that he
Didn't do--
773
00:34:56,228 --> 00:34:58,264
Oh, yeah. The freak show
Amateur autopsy.
774
00:34:58,330 --> 00:34:59,598
Putting aside how
The jury's gonna react
775
00:34:59,665 --> 00:35:01,400
To watching a mother
Dissect her own son,
776
00:35:01,467 --> 00:35:03,802
Once the body
Was released by the morgue,
777
00:35:03,869 --> 00:35:05,304
It was outside
Of the chain of evidence.
778
00:35:05,371 --> 00:35:06,705
That tape is completely
Inadmissible.
779
00:35:08,307 --> 00:35:10,409
Nick langner
Was an 8 year old boy
780
00:35:10,476 --> 00:35:11,943
Who went into the er
Vomiting
781
00:35:12,010 --> 00:35:12,978
And came out dead.
782
00:35:13,044 --> 00:35:14,813
And those men
Did that to him.
783
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,016
Well, prove that's
What they intended,
784
00:35:18,083 --> 00:35:19,818
And we'll talk.
785
00:35:24,256 --> 00:35:25,724
Sorry for the hold up.
786
00:35:25,791 --> 00:35:27,559
We try not to keep
People waiting so long.
787
00:35:27,626 --> 00:35:29,228
I should tell you
That I never speak
788
00:35:29,295 --> 00:35:31,597
Without
A lawyer present,
So you'll understand
789
00:35:31,663 --> 00:35:34,233
If I respectfully decline
To answer your questions.
790
00:35:35,401 --> 00:35:36,635
You've both invoked
Your right to counsel
791
00:35:36,702 --> 00:35:38,504
Which makes an interview
Impossible.
792
00:35:38,570 --> 00:35:40,206
So I'll just have
A theoretical discussion
793
00:35:40,272 --> 00:35:42,474
With lieutenant tao here.
794
00:35:42,541 --> 00:35:44,276
I don't really
Have any questions anyway.
795
00:35:44,343 --> 00:35:46,212
Just some good news
For one of you,
796
00:35:46,278 --> 00:35:48,714
And some very bad news
For the other.
797
00:35:48,780 --> 00:35:52,117
Lieutenant tao, which should I
Give them first?
798
00:35:52,184 --> 00:35:54,553
I'm thinking they'd like
To hear the good news.
799
00:35:54,620 --> 00:35:56,021
Ok.
800
00:35:56,087 --> 00:35:57,423
Dr. Sands,
Last sunday night,
801
00:35:57,489 --> 00:35:59,325
You killed a young boy
802
00:35:59,391 --> 00:36:01,460
Due to acts of negligence
And malpractice
803
00:36:01,527 --> 00:36:03,795
And then lied about it.
804
00:36:03,862 --> 00:36:05,231
Gosh.
Now that I've
Said that out loud,
805
00:36:05,297 --> 00:36:08,234
The good news
Doesn't sound so great.
806
00:36:08,300 --> 00:36:09,801
It gets better though.
807
00:36:09,868 --> 00:36:14,373
Nicholas langner was admitted
To the er at 18:42.
808
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:18,844
At 18:48, dr. Sands
Ordered a cbc,
809
00:36:18,910 --> 00:36:20,512
Chem panel, and coags.
810
00:36:20,579 --> 00:36:24,250
Coags were to measure
How well nicky's blood
Would clot.
811
00:36:25,584 --> 00:36:28,053
About how long do these
Tests take, lieutenant tao?
812
00:36:28,119 --> 00:36:29,187
At least 20 minutes.
813
00:36:29,255 --> 00:36:30,922
And yet, dr. Sands,
814
00:36:30,989 --> 00:36:35,894
You began the endoscopy
At 18:55,
Only 7 minutes later.
815
00:36:35,961 --> 00:36:38,730
Before you could've
Possibly seen the results
Of nicky's blood test.
816
00:36:38,797 --> 00:36:40,632
Which is a shame.
817
00:36:40,699 --> 00:36:42,100
Because those coags
Would've shown
That nicky's platelets
818
00:36:42,167 --> 00:36:46,605
Were extremely low,
Indicating a condition
Called...
819
00:36:47,205 --> 00:36:48,407
Lieutenant tao?
820
00:36:48,474 --> 00:36:51,577
Idiopathic
Thrombocytopenic purpura.
821
00:36:51,643 --> 00:36:52,378
Itp.
822
00:36:52,444 --> 00:36:54,212
Actually, if you had
823
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:55,481
Looked him over at the er,
824
00:36:55,547 --> 00:36:57,015
You might have noticed
Nicky had itp
825
00:36:57,082 --> 00:36:59,251
Simply by looking
At the bruises
On his torso.
826
00:36:59,318 --> 00:37:01,553
I know how
To diagnose itp.
827
00:37:01,620 --> 00:37:03,188
Oh, I'm sorry,
Are you speaking?
828
00:37:03,255 --> 00:37:04,690
Have you revoked
Your right to counsel?
829
00:37:04,756 --> 00:37:05,957
No.
830
00:37:06,024 --> 00:37:07,693
Ok.
831
00:37:07,759 --> 00:37:10,329
My guess is the reason
You didn't notice
The bruising
832
00:37:10,396 --> 00:37:12,464
Was because you just
Finished a 24-hour shift.
833
00:37:12,531 --> 00:37:14,099
If you hadn't had
One foot out the door,
834
00:37:14,165 --> 00:37:17,002
You might have given
Nicholas plasma
For clotting.
835
00:37:17,068 --> 00:37:19,971
Had a surgeon standing by
And everything
Might have been fine.
836
00:37:20,038 --> 00:37:21,673
Instead, you rushed in
To your endoscopy,
837
00:37:21,740 --> 00:37:23,342
And considering
How tired you were,
838
00:37:23,409 --> 00:37:24,376
And how much blood
Was in nicky's stomach,
839
00:37:24,443 --> 00:37:25,977
It's not so surprising
840
00:37:26,044 --> 00:37:27,846
That you perforated the
Kid's gastric artery, is it?
841
00:37:28,780 --> 00:37:30,649
Don't answer that,
Dr. Sands.
842
00:37:30,716 --> 00:37:31,983
You don't speak
Without a lawyer.
843
00:37:32,050 --> 00:37:35,821
Well, the good news
About all of this is that...
844
00:37:35,887 --> 00:37:37,289
Everything that we've
Just described
845
00:37:37,356 --> 00:37:39,391
Is merely malpractice.
846
00:37:39,458 --> 00:37:41,527
Oh, your insurance premiums
May go up,
847
00:37:41,593 --> 00:37:44,563
And you may have
Some bad publicity, but...
848
00:37:44,630 --> 00:37:46,264
Malpractice is not
A criminal offense.
849
00:37:46,332 --> 00:37:49,034
So you are free to go,
Dr. Sands.
850
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:52,671
Unfortunately, dr. Woods,
I can't say the same thing
About you.
851
00:37:54,506 --> 00:37:57,376
You are aware
That melissa langner's
Videotape
852
00:37:57,443 --> 00:37:59,511
Directly contradicts
What you told us.
853
00:37:59,578 --> 00:38:02,080
You did not repair
Nicky's gastric artery,
854
00:38:02,147 --> 00:38:04,550
Though why, I have no idea.
855
00:38:04,616 --> 00:38:05,984
It doesn't really matter.
856
00:38:06,051 --> 00:38:07,653
The surgeon's report
Clearly states
857
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:08,654
You sutured
The artery closed.
858
00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:10,055
You even billed for it,
859
00:38:10,121 --> 00:38:12,558
And that's your
Signature on the bottom.
860
00:38:12,624 --> 00:38:14,059
It's quite legible, actually,
861
00:38:14,125 --> 00:38:17,963
Considering what they say
About doctor's handwriting.
862
00:38:18,029 --> 00:38:19,230
Anyway...
863
00:38:19,297 --> 00:38:21,533
I'm sure you are aware
864
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,735
That falsifying
Medical records
865
00:38:23,802 --> 00:38:26,037
For fraudulent purposes
Is a felony.
866
00:38:26,104 --> 00:38:27,706
I think I see what
She's trying to do,
867
00:38:27,773 --> 00:38:29,307
But if he speaks
Without a lawyer,
868
00:38:29,375 --> 00:38:30,576
Nothing he says can be
Used in court.
869
00:38:30,642 --> 00:38:31,577
She's trying
To get him--
870
00:38:31,643 --> 00:38:32,844
Where's everybody at?
871
00:38:32,911 --> 00:38:35,213
I thought you were
Going to see ross?
872
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:36,415
What the--
873
00:38:37,483 --> 00:38:39,951
What is she doing
In there?
874
00:38:41,420 --> 00:38:43,822
Oh, my. Dr. Sands,
You're still here.
875
00:38:43,889 --> 00:38:46,925
I got so wrapped up
In giving dr. Woods
His bad news,
876
00:38:46,992 --> 00:38:48,360
That I completely
Forgot you were here.
877
00:38:48,427 --> 00:38:49,528
Run along now.
Make sure to get
878
00:38:49,595 --> 00:38:51,830
Your parking validated
On the way out.
879
00:38:55,634 --> 00:38:57,369
You're not going anywhere.
880
00:38:59,605 --> 00:39:00,739
Dr. Woods,
I have to advise you
881
00:39:00,806 --> 00:39:02,741
Not to speak
Without an attorney.
882
00:39:02,808 --> 00:39:04,810
This is ridiculous.
I don't need an attorney.
883
00:39:04,876 --> 00:39:07,413
I'm revoking my right
To counsel.
884
00:39:11,617 --> 00:39:12,684
It was his fault.
885
00:39:14,453 --> 00:39:17,155
I never expected that
You'd do anything
But find the bleeding.
886
00:39:17,222 --> 00:39:19,391
You knew the kid
Was hypoxic when he
Hit the table.
887
00:39:19,458 --> 00:39:21,026
I had 3 minutes
To find your mistake
888
00:39:21,092 --> 00:39:23,261
And that left me
45 seconds to fix it.
889
00:39:23,328 --> 00:39:25,096
Then what?
890
00:39:25,163 --> 00:39:29,501
The boy had no blood
Pumped to his brain
For almost 4 minutes.
891
00:39:29,568 --> 00:39:32,003
So he would've woke up
Paralyzed.
892
00:39:32,070 --> 00:39:33,972
Maybe blind.
893
00:39:34,039 --> 00:39:35,907
Mentally handicapped
For the rest of his life.
894
00:39:35,974 --> 00:39:37,308
At best.
895
00:39:37,375 --> 00:39:38,309
You didn't know that.
Ugh...
896
00:39:38,376 --> 00:39:39,811
Ok, ok.
897
00:39:39,878 --> 00:39:43,048
Let me see if I've
Got this straight, doctor.
898
00:39:43,114 --> 00:39:44,516
Mm-hmm?
899
00:39:44,583 --> 00:39:46,317
Are you saying you could have
Repaired the artery,
900
00:39:46,384 --> 00:39:47,619
But knowing it would take
Another minute,
901
00:39:47,686 --> 00:39:50,088
You chose to let
Nicholas langner die
902
00:39:50,155 --> 00:39:51,322
Rather than bring him back
903
00:39:51,389 --> 00:39:52,958
In less than
Pristine condition?
904
00:39:53,024 --> 00:39:54,560
No, no, no. Not
905
00:39:54,626 --> 00:39:57,195
[mimicking brenda's accent]
Less than pristine
Condition.
906
00:39:57,262 --> 00:39:59,598
Irreparably damaged.
907
00:40:00,932 --> 00:40:02,801
But it's possible that he
Might have been fine,
908
00:40:02,868 --> 00:40:04,002
And you wouldn't
Have known that
909
00:40:04,069 --> 00:40:05,236
Until you resuscitated him.
910
00:40:05,303 --> 00:40:08,940
I had both my hands
In that boy's abdomen
911
00:40:09,007 --> 00:40:11,777
With seconds,
Seconds to weigh
912
00:40:11,843 --> 00:40:14,045
The likely outcome,
Death,
913
00:40:14,112 --> 00:40:16,748
Or severe disability.
914
00:40:16,815 --> 00:40:18,817
Not to mention, exposing
Your carelessness.
915
00:40:18,884 --> 00:40:21,820
I never asked you
To cover for me.
916
00:40:21,887 --> 00:40:23,622
Only because
You lack the guts.
917
00:40:24,556 --> 00:40:25,891
Given the options,
918
00:40:25,957 --> 00:40:27,993
I was presented with,
Ms. Johnson,
919
00:40:28,059 --> 00:40:31,362
I made absolutely
The right choice.
920
00:40:31,429 --> 00:40:33,364
To kill nicholas langner?
921
00:40:33,431 --> 00:40:35,366
To let him die.
922
00:40:35,433 --> 00:40:36,935
Yes.
923
00:40:37,002 --> 00:40:38,537
Yes, I let him die
924
00:40:38,604 --> 00:40:40,606
Because as it
So happens, ms. Johnson,
925
00:40:40,672 --> 00:40:42,574
That's my job.
926
00:40:43,575 --> 00:40:44,943
Is it?
927
00:40:45,010 --> 00:40:46,878
I make more
Life and death decisions
928
00:40:46,945 --> 00:40:48,446
Before 10 o'clock
In the morning
929
00:40:48,514 --> 00:40:51,382
Than most people make
In a lifetime.
930
00:40:51,449 --> 00:40:54,419
On the rare occasion
That I can't save
Someone,
931
00:40:54,486 --> 00:40:56,287
I don't have time
To weep
932
00:40:56,354 --> 00:40:58,423
And wail
And point fingers
933
00:40:58,490 --> 00:41:00,125
Because
In the next room,
934
00:41:00,191 --> 00:41:03,094
There's another patient
Whose life is on
The line.
935
00:41:04,395 --> 00:41:07,499
I made the right choice
With nicholas langner.
936
00:41:07,566 --> 00:41:10,135
The only choice
That made any sense.
937
00:41:11,870 --> 00:41:14,740
And I'd do it again.
938
00:41:17,342 --> 00:41:20,679
If you were so certain
That you made the right choice,
939
00:41:20,746 --> 00:41:22,681
Why did you try to blame
Nicky's mother
940
00:41:22,748 --> 00:41:24,382
For her son's death?
941
00:41:24,449 --> 00:41:25,984
You knew that
Munchausen's by proxy
942
00:41:26,051 --> 00:41:28,119
Was not in any
Of that boy's charts.
943
00:41:45,236 --> 00:41:47,372
Did I not tell you
To help robbery/homicide?
944
00:41:47,438 --> 00:41:48,807
What are you doing here?
945
00:41:48,874 --> 00:41:50,341
Getting a physician
To admit to manslaughter.
946
00:41:50,408 --> 00:41:52,177
You heard him, mr. Garnett.
947
00:41:52,243 --> 00:41:53,679
Todd woods said he chose
To let nick langner die.
948
00:41:53,745 --> 00:41:55,246
No, that's not
What I heard.
949
00:41:55,313 --> 00:41:57,082
What I heard
Was a doctor say,
In his opinion,
950
00:41:57,148 --> 00:41:59,284
He could not save
That child's life.
951
00:41:59,350 --> 00:42:01,119
And no jury is ever
Going to convict this man
952
00:42:01,186 --> 00:42:02,821
And no judge is ever
Gonna let it go to trial,
953
00:42:02,888 --> 00:42:04,055
And malpractice
Is not a crime,
954
00:42:04,122 --> 00:42:05,290
So at the risk
Of repeating myself,
955
00:42:05,356 --> 00:42:06,291
What do you want me to do?
956
00:42:06,357 --> 00:42:07,525
You tell me exactly
957
00:42:07,593 --> 00:42:08,794
What you want
Those doctors to say
958
00:42:08,860 --> 00:42:09,928
In order to try them
For manslaughter
959
00:42:09,995 --> 00:42:11,096
And I will
Go back in there,
960
00:42:11,162 --> 00:42:13,531
And I will
Get them to say it.
961
00:42:13,599 --> 00:42:16,635
I'm sorry, chief johnson.
I don't prosecute cases
I know I can't win.
962
00:42:17,736 --> 00:42:18,904
Excuse me, fellows.
963
00:42:19,938 --> 00:42:21,640
You're just like
Dr. Woods.
964
00:42:21,707 --> 00:42:25,176
Unless you're assured
A perfect outcome,
You walk away.
965
00:42:25,243 --> 00:42:27,646
And you're just like
This crazy mother here.
966
00:42:27,713 --> 00:42:29,915
Insisting we treat
Tragedy as murder.
967
00:42:29,981 --> 00:42:31,282
So how about this, ma'am.
968
00:42:31,349 --> 00:42:33,719
You pick your battles,
I'll pick mine.
969
00:42:41,259 --> 00:42:43,762
All right. This case
Is officially over. Now.
970
00:42:43,829 --> 00:42:45,964
How soon can you get
Your people to laurel canyon?
971
00:42:48,734 --> 00:42:50,101
Lieutenant tao.
972
00:42:51,670 --> 00:42:54,305
Please report
To robbery/homicide.
973
00:42:54,372 --> 00:42:57,042
And detective daniels,
If you could wait for me.
974
00:43:03,915 --> 00:43:05,684
Before I let
These doctors go,
975
00:43:05,751 --> 00:43:07,385
I want to apologize
To melissa langner
976
00:43:07,452 --> 00:43:09,054
For the world we live in.
977
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:10,121
Excuse me.
978
00:43:20,832 --> 00:43:22,668
Brenda: ms. Langner.
979
00:43:22,734 --> 00:43:25,536
I am so very sorry
To have to tell you...
980
00:43:25,603 --> 00:43:27,505
Buzz, turn
The volume down, please.
981
00:43:27,572 --> 00:43:30,208
I can't listen to this.
982
00:43:30,275 --> 00:43:31,209
Melissa: what?
983
00:43:46,157 --> 00:43:47,726
[tearing paper]
984
00:43:50,929 --> 00:43:53,765
Sorry, daniels.
Did you want to split it?
985
00:43:53,832 --> 00:43:55,633
Oh, no, thanks, chief.
986
00:43:58,303 --> 00:44:02,140
Um...
987
00:44:02,207 --> 00:44:03,909
Look, detective.
988
00:44:07,178 --> 00:44:08,914
I know you're upset,
But...
989
00:44:08,980 --> 00:44:10,716
We did everything
We could.
990
00:44:10,782 --> 00:44:12,083
We don't--
991
00:44:13,284 --> 00:44:15,453
Punish. We don't...
Prosecute.
992
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,622
We just...
993
00:44:17,689 --> 00:44:19,324
We just find out
The truth.
994
00:44:31,302 --> 00:44:32,270
[3 gunshots]
995
00:44:36,407 --> 00:44:37,342
It's around the corner.
996
00:44:42,948 --> 00:44:44,415
Drop your weapon!
997
00:44:44,482 --> 00:44:45,851
Right now!
998
00:44:45,917 --> 00:44:48,319
Drop your weapon.
Right there.
999
00:44:48,386 --> 00:44:50,155
Drop it.
1000
00:44:50,221 --> 00:44:52,223
Turn around!
1001
00:45:01,132 --> 00:45:02,768
Should be
A much easier case
1002
00:45:02,834 --> 00:45:04,970
For you to prosecute,
Ms. Johnson.
1003
00:45:09,507 --> 00:45:12,043
You know, I think
Dr. Woods thought
He was god.
1004
00:45:15,613 --> 00:45:17,182
Turns out he was wrong.
