Original subtitles

[Johnnie] I was in Baltimore on October 9th.

I went down there to talk to Brittany.

[Jamie] State her full name.

Brittany Janaway.

[Steven Janaway] Hi, sweetheart. Wave to Mom.

I love you, Daddy.

[Johnnie] I took a cab to her house.

What happened after you got there?

I-- I saw her getting attacked in her house.

In the family room.

I-- I was right outside the window.

She was screaming.

[Jack] Did you see or hear who was attacking Brittany?

[Johnnie] No.

Then a door slammed at the next house.

I ran my ass out of there.

He confirms what we already know.

He's vague about what we don't. I think he's lying.

Well if he is, he'd be better off telling us he didn't see anything at all.

If he's our whole case against Steven Janaway, we're in trouble.

We should start by having the police reinterview Janaway.

There is an easy way out.

If the girl was raped in Baltimore, we hand them jurisdiction.

Let them worry about making a case.

The girl died here. It's our case.

Baltimore won't see it that way.

They'll fight us to extradite Janaway.

Possession is nine tenths of the law.

As long as Janaway's here, we're keeping him.

[tense instrumental]

Where the hell is he, Counsellor?

What the hell is going on here?

Dr. Janaway has left the building.

Munch, if you say "I told you so", I'm gonna shoot you right here.

I'm just saying, I was never convinced the father wasn't involved, somehow.

So where the hell are Dr. and Mrs. Janaway?

I don't know.

They knew we wanted to talk to them, again?

[Drake] I didn't have to draw a diagram for them.

You want to hazard a wild guess as to where they went with half their clothes?

I would guess they went home.

To Baltimore.

Aisle or window?

What?

On the Southbound to Charm City.

[tense instrumental]

[ethereal flute and hand drums]

[indistinct radio chatter]

[Meldrick] Look at all the shiny happy people, huh?

[Laura] Yeah, well, they just survived a train ride.

Of course they're happy.

Where the hell is Munch?

What kind of a name is Munch, anyway?

It sounds like foreplay.

[chuckling]

His mama married a mutt, what can I say?

[Laura] Uh-huh.

Hey, you married, or you just wear that for protection?

I don't want to talk about it.

Oh, come on. It can't be that bad.

What do you know?

You divorced?

Define divorced.

[Laura] Are you still married?

I mean, what you got some Jane Eyre thing going on?

You got her locked up somewhere?

[Meldrick] You got chased out of Seattle, didn't you?

[John] Meldrick!

Hey, Munchkin!

What'd you get yourself into this time?

Same pile, different foot.

Detectives Curtis and Briscoe. Detective Ballard.

Curtis is married. Briscoe's circling the drain.

Hi.

Okay, who's riding with me?

[both] We are.

You boys have a good trip down?

I can't prove it, but I'm pretty sure that in another life,

Briscoe and Munch were married.

[Meldrick laughing]

[distant phone ringing]

[Frank] Oh, Detective Bayliss.

Are these Detectives Briscoe and Curtis from New York City?

Has Charon sent his minions across the River Styx again?

[Tim] What are you talking about, Frank?

Charon, the god of the dead.

- What? - See, two years ago,

we arrested a guy who belonged to Briscoe and Curtis.

The moment that they took possession of him,

the bastard popped a hole in his vena cava,

big enough for you to drive your thumb through.

He died right there on the platform at Penn Station.

It was just eerie.

- [clapping] - [Al] Ah!

Detective Munch, Detective Falsone.

What brings the two of you to Baltimore?

Hey Gee, we're sorry it took a little bit longer than we planned.

And you've brought friends with you.

Curtis, Briscoe.

Please, step into my office.

Lieutenant Van Buren called this afternoon.

She wants one of you to call Jack McCoy as soon as you get a chance.

She say what he wanted?

Well, in the event Dr. Janaway is arrested here,

I'm sure the DA in New York will want to extradite.

[Paul] Whoa, wait a minute. You gotta be kidding me.

We bag this Janaway guy, and these humps get to take him back north?

[Lenny] Hey, hey. Us humps have a jurisdiction claim, same as you.

[muttering] Yeah, well, we all know what happened last time.

[Al] Wait a minute, wait a minute. Let's find him first, all right?

- Talk to me. - [Rey] The original suspect claims he saw the victim,

Brittany Janaway, being assaulted in the Janaway home.

- Here in Baltimore. - By whom?

Dear old dad.

All right, we'll get a search warrant for the house right away.

- Next? - [John] Janaway still keeps

an office at Madison General, I thought we'd start there first.

[Al] Good.

Falsone, take Detective Curtis over to the house with a lab crew.

Detective Briscoe, as unseemly as it may be,

ride with Munch over to the hospital.

Humps? You call us humps?

It's texture. I had to make him think I cared.

I don't give a flying crap who fries the bastard.

[distant sirens]

[John] Why did Janaway quit working here?

He never told me why.

But it was one day after his daughter showed up here from school, and she was...

bleeding pretty badly.

Bleeding from what?

Injury? Being beaten?

I don't remember.

Steve made a point of keeping it quiet.

I mean, but he was really shaken up by the whole thing.

Now, you can talk to one of the emergency room RNs.

They could tell you more.

[Rey] Nice neighborhood.

[Paul] Yeah.

My street looks just like this.

Only dirtier and more run-down.

Hey, New York cops make good cake?

Yeah, if you put your time in.

[Paul] What, no moonlighting?

Never had to. My wife's a [indistinct]

Mm.

[Paul] I've tended bar, I've nightwatched and driven a cab.

You know, I was thinking of printing up one of those bikini calendars,

"Cops of Baltimore", type thing?

What happened?

You seen the cops in Baltimore?

[Rey] You're right.

Munch in a thong would be a little hard on the eyes.

Give us a minute to see if the suspect is here.

[doorbell ringing]

[Paul] Hey, which window did Ramirez say he saw the assault?

Right side of the house, past some French doors.

[whining noise]

Where the hell's that sound coming from?

[tense instrumental]

Hey, open the door!

Come on!

[woman] What are you doing?

There goes the crime scene.

[Paul] Have a seat, Mrs. Janaway, and we'll be right with you.

Gee, this is Mrs. Janaway.

We found her with a Hoover in her hand.

Seems the housekeeper didn't show up this morning

so she started cleaning the place herself.

She was vacuuming a crime scene?

[Rey] Yeah, but forensics got a full cleaning bag.

Well, that'll speed things up.

Any word from Munch and Briscoe?

No. They're still at the hospital.

Falsone, a Janine just called for you, wouldn't leave her last name.

That's 'cause it's mine. Ex-wife.

Oh, she said your son is fine and not to worry.

Not to worry? About what?

- What the hell kind of message is that? - She didn't say.

You want to make a call?

I'll get started with Mrs. Janaway.

Nah, you know, it's just a flair.

It's Janine's way of reminding me that she holds all the cards.

She's got sole custody of my kid.

[John] Are you Monica Mason?

Yes, how can I help you?

[John] I'm Detective Munch and this is Detective Briscoe.

We spoke to Dr. Crandall a little while ago, he said we should talk to you.

A doctor referring somebody to a nurse?

That's a first.

Yeah, well.

He told us that you were on duty a few years ago

when Dr. Janaway's daughter Brittany was brought in for some kind of bleeding.

Yeah, I remember.

Do you remember what kind of an injury it was?

Vaginal. And it was bleeding.

- There had been a tear. - Who brought her in?

- Paramedics. - Who treated her?

- Her father. - Really.

Yeah, and he insisted.

I'm surprised that Dr. Crandall told you all of this.

[John] Why is that?

Because Dr. Janaway was adamant that we

keep quiet about what had happened.

Did he say why?

He said he didn't want his wife to know.

So she wouldn't worry, I guess.

[Lenny] Thanks.

So Mrs. Janaway.

Would you like to tell us why you and your husband left New York so abruptly?

Well, after that man was arrested for killing Brittany,

and all the press...

we just wanted to get away.

The man in New York is no longer a suspect.

Brittany's killer is still out there?

Do you have any other suspects?

Where can we find your husband?

My husband?

Why do you want to talk to Steven?

Well, we have a witness who says he saw

someone attacking Brittany in your house.

[Paul] We just want to talk to him.

Steven is a devoted father.

He adored her.

Did your husband spend a lot of time alone with your daughter?

[Gayle] Well, yes.

Like all fathers should.

Has your husband ever been suspected of

or accused of being a danger to children?

[scoffs] Never.

You don't think he had an unusual attraction

- or affinity for your daughter. - Good Lord, no.

Absolutely, no. That's awful.

How can you even think that?

Because it happens.

[Rey] Was your husband alone with Brittany the night she was attacked?

Oh, you're wrong.

You're wrong.

Mrs. Janaway, we would love to be wrong.

But we need to talk to him to find that out.

Ma'am, where is he?

[club hitting a ball]

[man] Can I help you gentlemen?

Depends on who you are.

I'm Chis Chandler, the club pro.

I'm John Munch, this is Lennie Briscoe.

We're a couple of Jewish cops.

You think we got a shot at joining this club?

Actually, we wanna talk to Dr. Steven Janaway?

Well, you're timing's pretty good.

He and his partner should be off the 18th momentarily.

Can you believe this guy? His daughter dies five days ago,

and he's out whacking the pill like nothing happened.

Are you gonna wait for him here?

Oh, he won't try to convert anybody, don't worry.

Okay.

So, Munch, you ever play golf?

[John] Once. I agree with Mark Twain.

All a golf game does is ruin a good walk.

[Lenny] Meaning, you weren't any good at it.

I didn't wanna be good at it.

Oh, come on, what kind of a philosophy of life is that?

You didn't want to be good at something?

Look, I know you hold me in moderate esteem at best,

but you don't really know me. So let's just drop this.

[Lenny] Come on. You wear a badge and you avenge the dead.

I think I know you. Oh, here he is.

- Dr. Steven Janaway? - Yes?

Detective John Munch, Baltimore Police Department.

Detective Briscoe, with whom you're already acquainted?

Yes, hello. Hi, Detective.

Doctor, we need about an hour of your time.

There's a few things we have to go over with you.

Why? About what?

[Lenny] Well, there's a couple of things in the case that have changed.

And we'd like to clear them up.

I'd love to help you, but I'm due home right now.

In fact, I'm already late.

It won't take long. As a matter of fact, we'll even give you a ride.

I thought you arrested somebody in New York.

Car's right over here.

Carl, would you take these for me, please?

[Al] Did you read him his rights?

[John] No, he came in voluntarily.

[Al] All right, play it close to the vest.

Don't let him start talking about the murder

without telling him he's a suspect.

Right, Gee.

[tense instrumental]

[Steven] Is my wife here yet? I called an hour ago.

[Lenny] Nope.

[Steven] Really? That's not like her.

Oh, is she a good wife that way?

What way do you mean?

I mean, is she there for you,

sickness and health, richer or poorer? The whole schmeal?

- [Steven] Yes. - You're a lucky man.

- Yes. - How long you been married?

- 21 years. - [John] 21 years!

You hit marital paydirt, didn't you? - [Steven] Yes.

You ever get bored?

- Bored how? - Of your wife.

Every day, the same face, the same voice,

the same perfunctory sex, the same problems,

the same half-assed little deals you have to make,

to help you cope with the crushing dullness of married life.

Now I know I know you.

I love my wife.

[Lenny] Okay, three years ago.

Did you treat your daughter for vaginal bleeding

at Madison General ER?

Yes.

And did you ask the staff there to, uh,

exercise discretion in discussing it?

Why am I here?

[John] Before I tell you that, I have to tell you something.

What?

You have the right to an attorney.

You have the right to shut up right now.

And if you don't, anything you say

can come back to bite you, understand?

Yes.

Were you in Baltimore a couple of weeks ago?

Yes.

- Were your wife and daughter along with you? - Yes.

You're aware that the ME in New York

determined that Brittany suffered a rape-like attack,

which over a period of two or three weeks,

evolved into toxic shock syndrome?

Yes.

And you agree that, given the time frame of that attack,

that in all likelihood, it happened here in Baltimore.

- I suppose that makes sense, yes. - [Lenny] Uh-huh.

And when she was 11 years old,

you treated your daughter for internal bleeding, and, uh, you covered it up.

Yes.

You know your daughter was only 14 when she died.

But when she dressed up for work...

she didn't look anything like a pubescent teenager.

Yes.

You see where I'm goin' with this?

Yes.

Dr. Janaway, as a result of some

corrupted image of her as some kind of object of beauty, and--

And maybe encouraged by past behavior,

did you in fact sexually assault your daughter?

No.

No, I did not.

[whispering] We think you did.

I don't give a damn what you think.

[John] Well, we got you in the house the night it happened.

We have an eyewitness.

We have credible evidence of prior child abuse.

And we have a little girl too weak to defend herself,

who is now dead.

You think I raped my daughter?

Then prove it.

[tense instrumental]

[distant phone ringing]

[distant car alarm]

Hi, Jack.

Brushing up on your law-school-library power nap?

I guess I'm losing my touch.

Janaway was just brought in for questioning in Baltimore.

You're going down to contest jurisdiction?

If he's charged, yes.

Have the research on concurrent jurisdiction?

[Jamie] It's on my computer. I just have to print it out.

Danvers'll argue it's a felony murder.

That the underlying felony took place in Baltimore.

That's the obvious argument.

It's a winner,

unless you redraw the map of New York City to include Baltimore.

I'm gonna redefine the crime.

Murder two, depraved indifference.

While they were in New York, Dr. Janaway knew she was dying

of a blood infection and did nothing to save her.

[softly scoffing] Well,

you might win a consolation prize for most creative entry.

[Jack] It's worth a train trip.

You seem so excited.

After the hoops Drake has put us through?

I want his head over my mantle.

Right next to his client.

They serve out good justice in Baltimore too, Jack.

Brittany Janaway died here. She's buried here.

She's going to get justice here.

- [Janine] Hello? - Hey, Janine. It's me.

[Janine] Hi, Paul.

What's up with this message you left about Daniel? Is he all right?

[Janine] Yeah, he was in the hospital.

Damn it, Janine, when?

[Janine] The day I called you. He had a fever.

He's fine now.

Thanks for calling right back.

- Can I talk to him? Just a second. - [Janine] No, no.

He's still not feeling good. Why don't you call back later?

Come on, put him on the phone.

I just want to hear him say Daddy.

[Janine] Ugh. That's the other line.

- I gotta go. - [phone clicking]

[tense instrumental]

[John] Come on, we gotta get to the courthouse for the hearing!

Ed?

Jack McCoy.

Hello. Ed Danvers. Nice to meet you.

How was the trip down?

Uneventful, which is the way I like it.

What's the name of the judge?

Susan Aandahl.

- You know her, then? - Yes.

A little unfair, don't you think?

Two against one?

Ha. I know your reputation.

I'll take the odds.

[whispering] Is this a done deal, or what?

- I don't know. - [Paul] You don't know?

No, Detectives. I don't.

Each position has merit.

Hey, don't let us down, Ed.

This jag has to answer for what he did in our yard.

All right.

Good morning, everybody, and welcome.

I only ask that we keep the tone civil

and the rhetoric to a minimum.

Mr. McCoy, approach.

Yes, Your Honor.

- The District Attorney of the County of New York-- - How's Adam?

Adam? Adam Schiff?

[Judge Aandahl] Yes.

About ten years ago, I was an Assistant DA

in New York in Adam's office.

Huh.

He's doing fine.

Why did you leave?

I was a Mets fan.

He's a Red Sox fan.

[Aandahl] Exactly.

After Buckner booted that grounder,

Adam wouldn't give me the time of day.

- [laughing] - [whispering] This woman hates me.

- [Aandahl] Please, give him my best. - Sure.

All right, Mr. McCoy, you may proceed.

[Jack] Yes, Your Honor.

The District Attorney of the County of New York

will stipulate that the rape of Brittany Janaway occurred

in this jurisdiction.

What did not occur in this jurisdiction was her death.

In fact, the staphylococcal infection which killed her

progressed while she was in her father's custody, with his knowledge,

and in the City and county of New York.

That's why we're asking for the Governor's signature to extradite.

- You're up. - [Ed] There's no evidence whatsoever

that Dr. Janaway had any knowledge that his daughter was

suffering from an advanced case of toxic shock.

[Jack] He was a highly-regarded physician in his field.

This has nothing to do with depraved indifference.

This is felony murder.

The predicate crime is rape and it happened here.

And it doesn't matter where she died.

[Jack] It matters when.

He watched her die over the course of two weeks.

At any time, he could have saved her, but he didn't.

He withheld treatment.

And that is depraved indifference.

Well, then why did he try to save her life when she expired?

Fear or change of heart.

It doesn't alter our contention

that as she was dying, the accused took no action.

[Ed] He was found on his knees, crying,

forcing his breath into her lungs.

He was performing for the witness.

Well, he's in our jail.

Nine tenths of the law, Mr. McCoy.

And we have the eyewitness.

[Aandahl] So much for rhetoric and civility.

Mr. McCoy, I agree with every point of your argument,

but you cannot answer the question of why he tried to resuscitate

if he wanted her to die.

Pending indictment, Dr. Steven Janaway will be tried here in this court

for the murder of his daughter Brittany.

As for you, Mr. Danvers,

in fairness to the District Attorney of New York,

I am going to cross-designate counsel pro hac vice.

You both want him, you both get him.

The trial date is a month from today.

[gavel banging]

[tense instrumental]

Hey, so where's Danvers?

Over at the courthouse.

Let me have another shot.

Buy you a drink?

Glenlivet rocks, please.

It's your first time in Baltimore, huh?

Yes.

You hate it, right?

No, why?

[Paul] I thought all New Yorkers hate every city but theirs.

[chuckling]

Hey, you ever wonder, uh...

...what some of these dead people

might have become, you know, if they lived?

You know, like--

Some guy who got whacked on the subway,

he might have discovered a cure for cancer.

Or maybe Brittany.

She could have been a scientist or a teacher.

A mother.

He's going to answer for it, Falsone. Don't worry.

Yeah, but I want him to suffer for it.

I had this buddy when I was seven or eight or I don't know, whatever.

Jake Morsette.

Sweet kid.

Never wore a pair of pants that somebody else didn't first.

Anyway, his parents were drinkers.

They used to beat him somethin' awful, man.

I told him to come live with me.

But every day he'd go back home.

Then one day he just didn't show up for school.

How's our case?

Tricky.

Circumstantial.

[scoffs]

Well, you know, where does it come from?

How does a man sexually abuse his own child?

Once I was on a vacation with my family.

I'm sitting on the sand, watching the water.

I look over down the beach, I see this beautiful-looking girl,

her back to me, talking to some guys.

I started to think... you know.

What you think when you see a girl that pretty.

She turned around.

It was my daughter.

I felt a little sick to my stomach.

Some people don't have any conscience.

[tense instrumental]

[Steven] Hi, sweetheart. Wave to Mom.

I love you, Daddy.

Mr. Ramirez,

did your mother work as a housekeeper for the Janaway family in New York?

[Johnnie] Yes, sir.

Did you ever meet Brittany Janaway?

Yes, sir.

Were you two friends? Did you get along?

I loved her.

[Jack] Mr. Ramirez, have you ever been in Baltimore before?

[Johnnie] Yeah, once.

What brought you down here?

[Johnnie] She did.

Really? Why?

Well, I wanted to talk to her about stuff, you know?

So I came down here on the train.

Did you see her?

[Johnnie] Well, sort of, yeah.

[Jack] What do you mean?

I-- I took a cab to her house.

The lights were pretty much out.

I walked to the front door.

I heard Brittany yelling.

She was saying,

"No, please. Please, no. Don't hurt me."

[Jack] What did you do next?

I went to the side of the house and looked through the window.

Brittany ran past the window.

She wasn't wearing no pants or nothing.

She was crying.

Then the door slammed over at the house next door,

and I ran away.

Do you remember what time it was?

8:45.

I had just checked my watch.

Thank you.

- [Aandahl] Mr. Drake. - Yeah.

How you doin', Mr. Ramirez?

- [Johnnie] Good, sir. - Good.

[Drake] Have you, er--

Have you ever been arrested?

[Johnnie] Yes, sir.

Mm. What was the charge?

Burglary.

[Drake] All right.

You loved Brittany very, very much, didn't you?

With all your heart.

But she didn't give you the time of day, did she?

- [Johnnie] No. - Did it make you mad?

- Sure, yeah. - Mm-hm.

Mad, huh?

Mad enough to come down here and maybe show her a thing or two, huh?

Maybe get even for the heartbreak?

- Objection, Your Honor. Please. - [Aandahl] Sustained.

What are you saying?

What am I saying? Huh!

I'm saying that maybe I should be defending you for murder!

- [Ed] Objection, Your Honor. - [Aandahl] Sustained.

Which is your good ear, counsellor.

Did you not hear me rule on the objections?

Not gonna happen again, Your Honor. I'm sorry.

My name is Jodi Farrar.

Jodi, did you know Brittany Janaway?

Yes, we went to school together.

Jodi, do you remember an incident three years ago

with Brittany that happened at school?

Yes.

Can you tell us what happened?

[Jodi] We were in art class, and Brit started feeling sick.

She asked if she could be excused

to go to the bathroom, and asked if I'd go with her.

And did you?

Yes.

What happened in the bathroom?

She was holding her stomach.

She was pretty sick.

She was crying.

She was bleeding pretty badly.

Where was she bleeding, Jodi?

It was vaginal.

Who was the attending physician?

Originally, it was Dr. Carl Furston.

But then Brittany's father,

Dr. Janaway, came in and replaced him.

[Jack] How was she treated?

I'm not sure.

Why is that?

Dr. Janaway asked that everyone leave the examining room.

[Jack] Did he say why?

He said that he didn't want his wife to find out.

[murmuring]

The People rest, Your Honor.

Mr. Drake, while we're young, please.

Uh, yeah. [clearing throat]

The Defense calls Dr. Steven Janaway to the stand.

[excited murmuring]

[clerk] Please raise your right hand.

Do you swear that the testimony you are about to give

shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

- I do. - [clerk] Thank you.

Please be seated.

[Drake] Dr. Janaway...

did you love your daughter?

[Steven] Yes.

Do you miss her?

Yes.

Every single waking moment.

Dr. Janaway, did you rape your daughter

and thereby cause the death of the little girl?

No.

I did not.

Thank you.

Your Honor, may we have a moment?

This isn't right.

It's a bluff.

Ed, this guy's setting us up.

- I don't think so. - You wanna take that chance?

- I'm ready to go. - We should ask for a continuance,

figure out what the hell they're up to.

- Gentlemen? - [Ed] Uh, thank you.

We're ready.

Do you own the house at 438 Swarthmore Drive,

where your daughter was assaulted?

Yes.

Were you staying at your house during a visit to Baltimore,

on the night of October 9th this year?

[Steven] Yes, I was.

[Ed] The eyewitness that was here today testified that

he saw your daughter being assaulted at precisely 8:45

on the night of October 9th.

Yes.

[Ed] Dr. Janaway, were t home at that hour on that night?

No, I was not.

[Ed] Really? Where were you then?

I was at the Harbor Court Hotel.

[excited murmuring]

[Ed] Were you alone?

No, I was not.

I was with a woman.

Approach, Your Honor!

In my chambers.

Your Honor, there's no way this testimony can be held admissible.

We requested alibi notification from them a month ago.

- We got nothing back! - [Drake] A month ago,

I didn't know that there was an alibi!

If you were aware of this information and withheld it,

- you're in a world of dirt with me. - Yes, I know.

Drake withheld it because Janaway

never thought he'd have to give it up!

Wait a second. The Prosecution rested, Your Honor,

and then I found out about it, okay?

Janaway turns to me and lays this in my lap.

Of course then I have to put him on the stand!

Your Honor, The People move to strike

the alibi testimony from the record.

What are you afraid of?

Why don't you put him on the stand,

and let the jury determine his credibility?

Your honor, we need a continuance,

to prove or disprove the alibi.

[Aandahl] You have 48 hours. Now get out of my office.

[tense instrumental]

[Al] We have only 48 hours to pull this out of the proverbial hat.

Don't be bitchy or selfish. Communicate, cooperate. Danvers?

What we need in the interest of time,

is multiple teams checking each piece of Janaway's alibi.

Munch and Lewis, interview the hotel staff.

Check registration logs, credit card receipts.

[John] Yeah, right. Bellhops, maids, got it.

You got a picture of this Janaway for us?

Yeah, it's being printed up right now.

It's a big hotel, Ed. It's gonna take some time.

[Ed] Kellerman and Falsone, you interview the floor staff.

The woman Janaway says he was with is Andrea Plotkin.

Now, this trial's had a lot of press.

She may be hesitant to get involved.

Finesse her. Cajole her.

But get her comfortable enough to give it a statement.

Right, like buy her a drink.

- Back rub. [chuckling] - [Ed] We don't have much time.

Just get me the down-and-dirties.

- I'll take it from there. - Okay.

[intense pop song]

Janaway was at the Harbor Court on October 9th.

He checked in at 6:20pm.

At 8:15pm, a room service order was placed

for two vodka martinis and a veggie platter.

I guess you need fiber to commit adultery.

The bellman delivered the plate at approximately 8:50.

He said he saw Janaway and Miss Plotkin in the room,

and they didn't check out until 1:30 AM.

[Paul] Miss Plotkin is actually Dr. Plotkin.

She told Pembleton and Bayliss

that she and Janaway went to medical school together.

Apparently the affair's been going on for the past ten years.

She said that Janaway often complained that

he and Mrs. Janaway were having significant problems,

most pertaining to their daughter.

So alibi checks out.

Who do we bring in first?

I suggest we bring 'em in together.

But in separate cars and in separate rooms.

This should not be pleasant or comfortable for either of them.

They've been manipulating the law and the media for months.

Now it's just us and them.

[indistinct chatter]

[reporters shouting]

[reporter] Hey, Janaway, give me one statement!

[overlapping chatter]

[car honking]

[man] Here we go, here we go!

[overlapping chatter]

So this where we stand.

Your alibi for the night Brittany was attacked checks out.

What we need to know from you now is,

if you didn't do it, do you know who did?

No.

[Paul] Did your wife know about the affair with Dr. Plotkin?

Thanks for coming in. This shouldn't take too long.

Must have been hard listening to your husband's testimony the other day.

Hard?

Well, when he talked about sports fishing with that other woman.

Yes, it was.

[John] Do you think you were you a good mother?

[Jack] Do you think you were a good father, Doctor?

At times.

You never hit Brittany, did you?

No.

How could you?

You were out planting some other broad the night she needed you most.

[Jack] You didn't sexually assault her, did you?

No.

[Paul] You ever want to?

You enjoy this, don't you?

[Paul] Answer me.

No.

Doesn't it kill you inside to know that someone did?

Why do you think he did it?

[Gayle] Pardon?

[John] Why stray? I mean, you're an attractive woman.

You're bored, he's bored.

And I've been married a few times.

I don't know why I keep going back.

I know the feeling.

[John] You do?

All I mean is, 21 years is a long time.

[John] Yeah, but you had a beautiful daughter, though, right?

Yes.

Did your wife ever harm your daughter?

Steven, answer that.

It's just not--

Steven, you opened up this can of worms, okay?

You're gonna walk.

Now, tell the man what you know. Let's get outta here.

Come on.

Why did you risk trial?

Why did you risk a conviction and a possible death sentence

if you were innocent?

Because I'm guilty.

For doing nothing.

I should have been there that night.

I-- I should have taken Brittany out of that house a long time ago.

Did your wife regularly,

physically, abuse your daughter?

Yes.

[John] Consider yourself a beautiful woman?

[lawyer] Detective, I've listened to you stray for the past hour.

Can you please keep your questions to the point?

[John] You think you're beautiful?

I'm-- I'm all right, I guess.

Boys followed you around when you were younger?

Had to beat 'em off with a stick?

I was popular.

[John] As popular as your daughter?

No.

[John] Well, that couldn't have felt very good.

Here you are, having spent a life as a person

that other people talk about, and then bam!

This little angel comes along, right out of your own body.

And she gets all the attention, makes all that money,

gets all of Daddy's time, and you're left folding laundry.

That's a waste.

[Ed] Sounds like maybe your husband

loved your daughter more than you.

Sounds like he paid more attention to her,

was more affectionate with her.

He was.

I mean...

I felt like scenery sometimes.

Now, that doesn't sound fair to me.

It wasn't.

[John] What the hell's the matter with you?

Pardon me?

[John] You were jealous as hell of your own daughter!

My daughter and I fought a lot.

That's all I'll say.

Did you talk about this with your husband?

- He was never around. - [lawyer] Gayle, this has gone too far.

You ever get so mad at your husband,

so frustrated that you'd lash out?

Lash out?

So lost and so hurt, and so alone,

that the only thing you could do

was to destroy the thing he loved most.

[whimpering]

Mrs. Janaway, did you rape your little girl?

[whimpering]

[loudly sobbing]

[siren wailing]

Haven't you talked to Danvers about this?

Yeah, but it's like, you know, going to the doctor.

I just wanted a second opinion.

I think getting shared custody of your little boy

lies entirely with you.

And from what I've seen, you want something badly enough, you'll get it.

Yeah, well, let me ask you something else, 'cause it's buggin' me.

The wrong guy almost went away for all this.

You don't get to wear that guilt by yourself.

I wanted him, too.

Yeah, but what about the "what if"?

I don't know, Paul.

I just don't know.

Well, see ya.

I hope not.

[melancholic acoustic song]

Detective.

Please, uh... come in.

[Paul] I didn't mean to disturb you.

I thought you might want the stuff we took.

Oh, yes.

Thank you.

[Paul] Yeah, I just wanted to make sure these things got back to you.

You hated me, didn't you?

It's in my nature to believe the worst in people.

You know, it's funny.

You never knew my daughter,

but you owned her cause like she was your own blood.

Yeah.

Kinda made her mine, you know?

I got my own.

He's three-- three and a half.

I've missed half his life spending time on my own.

It already feels like it's too late.
