1
00:00:03,974 --> 00:00:06,445
(soft music)
2
00:00:19,472 --> 00:00:21,208
(door opens)
3
00:00:22,679 --> 00:00:24,583
What number am I thinking of?
4
00:00:26,119 --> 00:00:27,589
It doesn't work like that.
5
00:00:31,163 --> 00:00:33,667
Seven. It's always seven.
6
00:00:35,538 --> 00:00:36,540
It's time.
7
00:00:45,423 --> 00:00:47,094
(exhales deeply)
8
00:00:51,102 --> 00:00:53,907
(tense music)
9
00:00:53,908 --> 00:00:56,612
I'm so sorry. I really tried.
10
00:00:56,613 --> 00:00:58,884
Well, three different spot
treatments didn't work.
11
00:00:58,885 --> 00:01:02,558
I wanted to get your okay.
Before trying hydrogen peroxide.
12
00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:05,830
Red wine is an acid,
and silks hate acid.
13
00:01:05,831 --> 00:01:08,202
(woman): Red wine? No, it's
a, it's a ketchup stain.
14
00:01:08,203 --> 00:01:10,874
No, ketchup's redder. When
it's purple, it's wine.
15
00:01:10,875 --> 00:01:13,112
No, no, no. My husband
was at a Cardinals game
16
00:01:13,113 --> 00:01:15,249
and someone walked into
him holding a hot dog.
17
00:01:15,250 --> 00:01:17,487
You know what?
You're so right.
18
00:01:17,488 --> 00:01:21,127
It's ketchup. Um, I
will let you know.
19
00:01:21,128 --> 00:01:22,532
- Thank you.
- Okay, bye.
20
00:01:23,734 --> 00:01:25,871
(TV newscast playing)
21
00:01:25,872 --> 00:01:27,473
(bell on door ringing)
22
00:01:27,474 --> 00:01:28,977
We're closed!
23
00:01:28,978 --> 00:01:30,780
Special delivery.
24
00:01:30,781 --> 00:01:32,350
- Oh.
- Hey, Lorraine.
25
00:01:32,351 --> 00:01:35,222
Now Ray, you're not here
to get your tux cleaned.
26
00:01:35,223 --> 00:01:38,261
I saw your car outside. I'm
still getting your mail.
27
00:01:38,262 --> 00:01:40,635
Oh. Thanks.
28
00:01:41,637 --> 00:01:43,272
You figure if you
wait long enough,
29
00:01:43,273 --> 00:01:44,875
they'll stop asking
for their money?
30
00:01:44,876 --> 00:01:48,348
I'm working late, aren't
I? You stopped drinking.
31
00:01:48,349 --> 00:01:50,921
How in the world
can you know that?
32
00:01:50,922 --> 00:01:52,490
Have you been going
through my trash?
33
00:01:52,491 --> 00:01:54,193
Oh, your pants are too loose.
34
00:01:54,194 --> 00:01:56,498
You're down to the
last loop on your belt.
35
00:01:56,499 --> 00:01:58,369
Going on four months now.
36
00:01:58,370 --> 00:01:59,638
Two meetings a week.
37
00:01:59,639 --> 00:02:01,576
I dunno, maybe this
time I'll stick.
38
00:02:01,577 --> 00:02:04,749
That's great.
Good for you, Ray.
39
00:02:04,750 --> 00:02:06,251
How's things around here?
40
00:02:06,252 --> 00:02:09,424
Well, I just got yelled
at by Jeanie Franco,
41
00:02:09,425 --> 00:02:14,702
whose husband's having an affair
with a clumsy red wine drinker.
42
00:02:14,703 --> 00:02:17,407
Tell me you did not put
yourself in the middle of that.
43
00:02:17,408 --> 00:02:19,778
I didn't say a word. You'd
have been proud of me.
44
00:02:19,779 --> 00:02:22,851
Hey, can I at least
pay your cable bill?
45
00:02:22,852 --> 00:02:25,957
I'm the reason you signed up
for it in the first place,
46
00:02:25,958 --> 00:02:29,231
and I'm saving a
fortune on my bar tab.
47
00:02:29,232 --> 00:02:31,435
You're not paying my damn bills.
48
00:02:31,436 --> 00:02:33,540
I could pay off all of 'em
49
00:02:33,541 --> 00:02:35,778
and we still wouldn't
be even, Lorraine.
50
00:02:37,381 --> 00:02:38,817
Take off your pants.
51
00:02:39,553 --> 00:02:41,289
- What?
- I'll take 'em in.
52
00:02:41,990 --> 00:02:44,528
You want me to walk out
of here in my underpants?
53
00:02:44,529 --> 00:02:46,834
I got something in your size.
54
00:02:47,636 --> 00:02:49,872
He's not gonna come
in looking for it?
55
00:02:49,873 --> 00:02:51,074
If he hasn't needed a set
56
00:02:51,075 --> 00:02:52,778
of work clothes in a
month, he got fired.
57
00:02:52,779 --> 00:02:54,548
(newscaster): in Charlotte
North Carolina this morning...
58
00:02:54,549 --> 00:02:56,686
- All right.
- Melissa and Frank Conley
59
00:02:56,687 --> 00:02:58,657
made an impassioned
plea to the public
60
00:02:58,658 --> 00:03:02,396
for the safe return of
their son Rory Conley.
61
00:03:02,397 --> 00:03:06,372
Rory is six. He's
tall for his age,
62
00:03:06,373 --> 00:03:09,177
with brown hair and
gaps in his teeth.
63
00:03:09,178 --> 00:03:10,747
He was dressed as a fox.
64
00:03:10,748 --> 00:03:13,151
(newscaster): It's been a year
since their five-year-old son
65
00:03:13,152 --> 00:03:15,590
was abducted from
Charlotte Comic Expo.
66
00:03:15,591 --> 00:03:18,462
The good news is, I can
always look for work
67
00:03:18,463 --> 00:03:20,466
as a security guard.
68
00:03:20,467 --> 00:03:22,872
The family now
offering a reward...
69
00:03:22,873 --> 00:03:24,976
- What?
- Of up to $50,000
70
00:03:24,977 --> 00:03:28,315
for information that could
lead to his safe return.
71
00:03:28,316 --> 00:03:30,554
Is it happening again?
72
00:03:33,627 --> 00:03:36,265
(soft music)
73
00:03:39,471 --> 00:03:42,277
Why are you being so dramatic?
74
00:03:44,481 --> 00:03:46,987
You have the best
view in the house.
75
00:03:47,454 --> 00:03:49,692
(sniffs) You'll be okay.
76
00:03:50,628 --> 00:03:52,097
Yeah.
77
00:03:52,098 --> 00:03:53,934
(microwave beeping)
78
00:04:01,883 --> 00:04:03,987
(police sirens in the distance)
79
00:04:08,329 --> 00:04:10,366
(reporter): Are you
frustrated with the police?
80
00:04:10,367 --> 00:04:11,903
Do you know if they're
following leads?
81
00:04:11,904 --> 00:04:13,540
They say they're
doing their best,
82
00:04:13,541 --> 00:04:16,812
and I guess we have to
believe them. Thank you.
83
00:04:16,813 --> 00:04:19,051
(Frank): Thank you
for being here.
84
00:04:41,095 --> 00:04:42,598
(line ringing)
85
00:04:42,599 --> 00:04:44,300
(woman): You have reached
the Charlotte Mecklenburg
86
00:04:44,301 --> 00:04:45,570
Police Missing Persons Unit.
87
00:04:45,571 --> 00:04:48,676
Please leave your message and
phone number after the ton.
88
00:04:48,677 --> 00:04:49,579
(beep)
89
00:04:49,580 --> 00:04:52,316
Hello. My name is
Lorraine Howell.
90
00:04:52,317 --> 00:04:53,719
I live in Branson, Missouri,
91
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,896
and I am calling
about Rory Conley.
92
00:04:58,564 --> 00:05:00,433
I kept thinking the
worst had passed.
93
00:05:00,434 --> 00:05:03,106
But new lows would
sneak up on us.
94
00:05:03,774 --> 00:05:07,414
Each day that passed meant
it was that much less likely.
95
00:05:08,216 --> 00:05:10,988
The police said they'd call
when they knew something.
96
00:05:10,989 --> 00:05:13,560
But the phone never rang.
97
00:05:14,896 --> 00:05:15,896
And then it did.
98
00:05:16,967 --> 00:05:18,670
The detective on the case
said someone had come forward
99
00:05:18,671 --> 00:05:22,143
with information. It
was unsubstantiated,
100
00:05:22,144 --> 00:05:25,450
borderline insane, but...
101
00:05:26,151 --> 00:05:27,955
when you're in pitch darkness,
102
00:05:28,958 --> 00:05:30,662
no light is too small.
103
00:05:30,995 --> 00:05:35,537
This will sound strange, but
I can see things sometimes.
104
00:05:35,538 --> 00:05:39,444
Images, strong, clear images,
105
00:05:39,445 --> 00:05:42,450
not hallucinations,
they're real.
106
00:05:42,451 --> 00:05:45,924
I, I can see Rory.
107
00:05:45,925 --> 00:05:48,128
He's is alive.
108
00:05:48,129 --> 00:05:51,334
He... he's...
109
00:05:51,335 --> 00:05:52,872
There's an older woman
110
00:05:52,873 --> 00:05:55,342
with a Southern
accent talking to him.
111
00:05:55,343 --> 00:05:58,248
She's telling him to
eat graham crackers,
112
00:05:58,249 --> 00:06:01,120
but he's not
listening. He has a,
113
00:06:01,121 --> 00:06:04,093
he has a toy car in his hand,
114
00:06:04,094 --> 00:06:07,634
a little purple toy race car.
115
00:06:07,635 --> 00:06:11,542
He's driving it along a
seam in the sofa upholstery,
116
00:06:11,543 --> 00:06:14,948
making sounds like
tires squealing.
117
00:06:14,949 --> 00:06:19,056
She was so sure. She told us
exactly what we needed to hear.
118
00:06:19,057 --> 00:06:22,063
He has crumbs on his shirt.
119
00:06:22,899 --> 00:06:26,906
He's, he's uh lost one
of his bottom teeth.
120
00:06:27,842 --> 00:06:29,377
(exhales)
121
00:06:29,378 --> 00:06:31,983
He is being cared for.
122
00:06:31,984 --> 00:06:33,853
Please don't give up.
123
00:06:33,854 --> 00:06:36,290
Who wouldn't want to
believe their missing son
124
00:06:36,291 --> 00:06:37,662
is still alive?
125
00:06:39,131 --> 00:06:40,901
Even if it was a lie?
126
00:06:43,372 --> 00:06:46,178
(theme music)
127
00:06:59,438 --> 00:07:01,442
(soft music)
128
00:07:05,518 --> 00:07:08,690
Hey. Hey.
129
00:07:08,691 --> 00:07:10,226
Hey.
130
00:07:10,628 --> 00:07:12,496
I got your pants.
131
00:07:12,497 --> 00:07:15,036
Oh, thanks, Lorraine. Really.
132
00:07:16,239 --> 00:07:18,243
And you're throwing
in a free fern?
133
00:07:18,878 --> 00:07:20,747
I'm going out of
town. Do me a favor,
134
00:07:20,748 --> 00:07:23,085
look after it when I'm gone?
135
00:07:23,086 --> 00:07:24,889
I don't have the best
track record for keeping
136
00:07:24,890 --> 00:07:27,961
things alive. I can remember
one marriage in particular.
137
00:07:27,962 --> 00:07:30,500
You'll do fine.
Indirect light,
138
00:07:30,501 --> 00:07:31,969
somewhere nice and humid.
139
00:07:31,970 --> 00:07:33,807
It'll drink as much
as you give it.
140
00:07:33,808 --> 00:07:35,611
My kinda plant. (chuckles)
141
00:07:36,647 --> 00:07:40,319
So, how long am I
taking care of Mr. Fern?
142
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,990
I don't know.
Couple weeks, maybe.
143
00:07:41,991 --> 00:07:45,129
It's the kid, isn't
it? The one on TV?
144
00:07:46,533 --> 00:07:48,335
Why, Lorraine?
145
00:07:48,336 --> 00:07:49,672
It's never worth it,
146
00:07:49,673 --> 00:07:52,343
putting yourself in the
middle of all that pain.
147
00:07:52,344 --> 00:07:54,347
You're always worse
off on the other side.
148
00:07:54,348 --> 00:07:56,151
I have to do this.
149
00:07:56,152 --> 00:07:58,355
No, you don't. Stay.
150
00:07:58,356 --> 00:08:00,292
Let me take you out
to dinner. We...
151
00:08:00,293 --> 00:08:02,029
I have to go. I have to go.
152
00:08:02,030 --> 00:08:04,769
Don't over-water it.
You'll rot the roots.
153
00:08:08,142 --> 00:08:11,448
The purple toy car,
that's what did it.
154
00:08:11,449 --> 00:08:13,954
He had it in his pocket
the day that he...
155
00:08:17,194 --> 00:08:21,234
It's people like her who
claim to be psychics,
156
00:08:21,235 --> 00:08:22,537
they do research.
157
00:08:22,538 --> 00:08:24,440
Maybe she saw him
holding it in pictures.
158
00:08:24,441 --> 00:08:27,914
So given that skepticism, why
bring her to North Carolina?
159
00:08:27,915 --> 00:08:30,620
She said she needed
to be in Rory's room.
160
00:08:30,621 --> 00:08:32,959
Establish a connection.
161
00:08:33,527 --> 00:08:36,331
I wasn't sure. Frank was.
162
00:08:36,332 --> 00:08:38,903
And he knew the magic words.
163
00:08:38,904 --> 00:08:40,573
He said the same thing
I tell all my buyers
164
00:08:40,574 --> 00:08:42,579
when they're looking at a house:
165
00:08:43,413 --> 00:08:46,485
All the research in the world
doesn't compare to the feeling
166
00:08:46,486 --> 00:08:48,723
you get when it's
right in front of you.
167
00:08:49,357 --> 00:08:51,996
(city hubbub)
168
00:09:01,717 --> 00:09:03,820
You must be Frank.
169
00:09:04,488 --> 00:09:06,291
Thank you for coming.
170
00:09:06,994 --> 00:09:08,830
Oh.
171
00:09:18,550 --> 00:09:20,720
(woman on speakers): outcomes to yourself.
- Oh, sorry.
172
00:09:20,721 --> 00:09:23,258
Through the power of manifestation,
by focusing on positive thoughts...
173
00:09:23,259 --> 00:09:25,997
My wife doesn't believe
in any of this stuff.
174
00:09:25,998 --> 00:09:28,334
She'd rather listen to
nails on a chalkboard.
175
00:09:28,335 --> 00:09:30,238
I guess even that
beats the quiet.
176
00:09:30,239 --> 00:09:33,713
Unless, do you need quiet to...
177
00:09:33,714 --> 00:09:36,585
get the energies in
alignment, or...?
178
00:09:36,586 --> 00:09:38,255
If you'd rather,
I can turn it off.
179
00:09:38,256 --> 00:09:40,827
No, it's fine. I'm a...
180
00:09:40,828 --> 00:09:42,731
normal person, I promise.
181
00:09:42,732 --> 00:09:44,969
Okay. (chuckling)
182
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,217
(soft music)
183
00:10:02,872 --> 00:10:05,744
I'll go get Melissa. Melissa!
184
00:10:12,925 --> 00:10:16,699
Hi. Nice to meet you.
I'm Melissa Conley.
185
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:18,035
Uh... (clears throat)
186
00:10:18,036 --> 00:10:19,070
Lorraine.
187
00:10:19,071 --> 00:10:20,607
I'm so sorry for what
you've been through.
188
00:10:20,608 --> 00:10:22,944
Thanks. Thanks for coming.
189
00:10:22,945 --> 00:10:25,750
Oh. You smell that? Cookies.
190
00:10:25,751 --> 00:10:28,154
She's been out of the real
estate game for a year,
191
00:10:28,155 --> 00:10:30,893
but she still pulls
the open house trick.
192
00:10:30,894 --> 00:10:34,066
Don't fall for it,
Lorraine. Place is a dump.
193
00:10:34,067 --> 00:10:36,405
I'll bet Rory loved
oatmeal raisin.
194
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,644
I, I thought it might
help. I don't know.
195
00:10:39,645 --> 00:10:41,683
- Yeah.
- Set the mood. (laughs)
196
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,325
Anyway. Shall we...
shall we begin?
197
00:10:52,337 --> 00:10:54,675
It's this way.
- Oh, okay.
198
00:10:57,381 --> 00:10:59,150
Please.
199
00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:21,695
Anything you need
to get started,
200
00:11:21,696 --> 00:11:23,634
you just let us know.
201
00:11:24,468 --> 00:11:26,805
Or, if you'd rather, we
could go over what we know.
202
00:11:26,806 --> 00:11:28,274
We've got that folder
from the police
203
00:11:28,275 --> 00:11:29,778
around here somewhere...
- Frank. Remember...
204
00:11:29,779 --> 00:11:32,049
what we talked about?
- Yeah. Right. Sorry.
205
00:11:32,050 --> 00:11:34,888
My husband's a talker,
but maybe there are things
206
00:11:34,889 --> 00:11:36,960
you could tell us
instead? (Frank): Mm-hmm.
207
00:11:38,597 --> 00:11:40,767
Um... (clicks tongue)
208
00:11:40,768 --> 00:11:43,707
You don't have to tell
me anything. I just...
209
00:11:44,775 --> 00:11:47,380
I get a feeling.
210
00:11:49,451 --> 00:11:51,088
But only sometimes.
211
00:11:51,757 --> 00:11:53,292
(exhales)
- Yeah.
212
00:11:55,363 --> 00:11:57,300
It comes or it doesn't.
213
00:11:57,669 --> 00:12:00,039
(soft piano music)
214
00:12:17,073 --> 00:12:18,074
May I?
215
00:12:18,075 --> 00:12:19,277
Yeah.
216
00:12:28,997 --> 00:12:30,867
(sighs)
217
00:12:40,186 --> 00:12:42,858
Was Rory allergic to peanuts?
218
00:12:42,859 --> 00:12:44,461
(exhaling)
219
00:12:45,130 --> 00:12:47,901
No. He didn't have
any allergies.
220
00:12:47,902 --> 00:12:50,338
Then why did he sort
his Halloween candy
221
00:12:50,339 --> 00:12:52,844
one pile with peanuts,
and one without?
222
00:12:52,845 --> 00:12:54,180
- I'm allergic.
- Frank...
223
00:12:54,181 --> 00:12:58,121
I, I, I told Rory not to
bring peanuts into the house
224
00:12:58,122 --> 00:12:59,457
or he couldn't
kiss me goodnight.
225
00:12:59,458 --> 00:13:01,461
And so he would trade
the ones with peanuts
226
00:13:01,462 --> 00:13:02,731
for sour gummy worms.
227
00:13:02,732 --> 00:13:03,866
But that doesn't
mean that he's alive.
228
00:13:03,867 --> 00:13:06,004
Or that we're gonna find him.
- Yeah. But, yeah, but...
229
00:13:06,005 --> 00:13:08,809
No, no, no. You're right,
you're right. This is scary
230
00:13:08,810 --> 00:13:11,415
letting a stranger
into your house.
231
00:13:13,119 --> 00:13:15,790
Your heart's already broken,
232
00:13:15,791 --> 00:13:19,464
you don't wanna have
it broken again.
233
00:13:19,832 --> 00:13:21,535
I promise I wouldn't
put you through this
234
00:13:21,536 --> 00:13:25,744
unless I knew there was
reason to hope. Just hope.
235
00:13:26,078 --> 00:13:28,381
She could have seen
Frank's EpiPen in the car,
236
00:13:28,382 --> 00:13:31,220
she could have noticed we
had no nuts in our kitchen,
237
00:13:31,221 --> 00:13:34,061
or a million other clues
I might have missed.
238
00:13:34,629 --> 00:13:38,301
But still. That night, I
slept a full eight hours
239
00:13:38,302 --> 00:13:41,942
for the first time in a year.
So, I guess in some way,
240
00:13:41,943 --> 00:13:43,444
I did believe it.
241
00:13:43,445 --> 00:13:45,382
You put the defendant up in
your guest room, correct?
242
00:13:45,383 --> 00:13:48,756
Yes. It was impossible
to know when, or if,
243
00:13:48,757 --> 00:13:51,762
she'd see anything that
we could have used.
244
00:13:51,763 --> 00:13:53,599
So she stayed.
245
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,605
And did she ask for
anything besides the room?
246
00:13:56,606 --> 00:13:58,576
Some sort of payment?
247
00:13:58,577 --> 00:14:00,714
We offered, she refused.
248
00:14:00,715 --> 00:14:02,316
Then she got a call
from her landlord.
249
00:14:02,317 --> 00:14:05,188
She was behind on rent,
so she'd have to go back
250
00:14:05,189 --> 00:14:08,428
and move her things out.
So we paid it off for her.
251
00:14:08,429 --> 00:14:09,731
We could afford it.
252
00:14:09,732 --> 00:14:11,902
Little by little,
other things came up.
253
00:14:11,903 --> 00:14:15,342
Loans. Car payments.
So she stayed.
254
00:14:15,343 --> 00:14:19,384
And a week turned into a month,
which turned into two months.
255
00:14:19,385 --> 00:14:21,889
Why welcome her in?
Why pay off her debts?
256
00:14:21,890 --> 00:14:24,093
What made you think
she was legitimate?
257
00:14:24,094 --> 00:14:26,064
She'd done it before.
258
00:14:26,833 --> 00:14:29,505
She found that girl.
The one in Nevada.
259
00:14:30,173 --> 00:14:32,109
Lorraine led the
police right to her,
260
00:14:32,110 --> 00:14:33,980
and now she's in college.
261
00:14:34,950 --> 00:14:36,619
She'd done it once.
262
00:14:37,588 --> 00:14:39,491
I thought she could do it again.
263
00:14:40,961 --> 00:14:42,931
(music swells up)
264
00:14:50,747 --> 00:14:52,583
(chuckles): Hi.
- Hi.
265
00:14:52,584 --> 00:14:55,389
Still keep the freezer
stocked with mint chip.
266
00:14:56,358 --> 00:14:57,393
Good.
267
00:14:57,394 --> 00:15:00,466
Never know when he might
come back and want some.
268
00:15:02,436 --> 00:15:03,840
Nothing new?
269
00:15:04,642 --> 00:15:07,279
It's only been four days
since I last saw him.
270
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,585
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Don't read into it.
271
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,756
- Thanks.
- Hm.
272
00:15:12,725 --> 00:15:15,329
- You're all right to stay, yeah?
- Of course.
273
00:15:15,330 --> 00:15:17,333
There's no one missing
me in Missouri.
274
00:15:17,334 --> 00:15:21,575
- No one? No, no family?
- Mm-hmm. Not really.
275
00:15:21,576 --> 00:15:23,111
You and Melissa are...
276
00:15:23,813 --> 00:15:26,918
It's good you have each other.
277
00:15:26,919 --> 00:15:29,725
Yeah, it's a great balance.
278
00:15:29,726 --> 00:15:33,866
She's vegetables,
and I'm ice cream.
279
00:15:33,867 --> 00:15:36,404
- Mm.
- I was always the one
280
00:15:36,405 --> 00:15:37,807
who indulged Rory.
281
00:15:37,808 --> 00:15:41,013
Like the stuffed
koala on his bed.
282
00:15:41,014 --> 00:15:42,618
When he saw that
at the convention,
283
00:15:42,619 --> 00:15:44,053
he begged me for it.
284
00:15:44,054 --> 00:15:46,123
He'd look at me
with those big eyes.
285
00:15:46,124 --> 00:15:48,897
I swear to god, the kid knew
exactly what he was doing.
286
00:15:49,498 --> 00:15:53,038
Yeah. There were so
many people there.
287
00:15:55,042 --> 00:15:57,213
I turned away for a second.
288
00:15:58,148 --> 00:16:00,152
Maybe if I didn't,
289
00:16:00,153 --> 00:16:01,421
he wouldn't have...
290
00:16:01,422 --> 00:16:05,830
Hey. It's not your
fault. It's not.
291
00:16:05,831 --> 00:16:07,133
Yeah...
292
00:16:08,202 --> 00:16:09,469
Nothing made him happier
than mornings his dad
293
00:16:09,470 --> 00:16:13,145
woke him up to play
hooky. Nothing.
294
00:16:14,649 --> 00:16:17,755
I bet. Good night.
295
00:16:18,189 --> 00:16:20,125
Have you seen anything else?
296
00:16:22,263 --> 00:16:24,634
- Not yet.
- How, how long did it
297
00:16:24,635 --> 00:16:28,508
take the last time? That
girl you found in 2007.
298
00:16:28,509 --> 00:16:30,045
Amelia Price.
299
00:16:30,046 --> 00:16:32,049
How long until you saw the thing
300
00:16:32,050 --> 00:16:33,819
that led the police to her?
301
00:16:33,820 --> 00:16:36,023
I couldn't piece it together.
302
00:16:36,024 --> 00:16:38,328
I just saw fleeting images.
303
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:41,601
I kept...
304
00:16:41,602 --> 00:16:45,943
I kept seeing this
row of little jars
305
00:16:45,944 --> 00:16:48,248
with peeling labels
on a windowsill.
306
00:16:48,249 --> 00:16:51,287
Then I could see past
the grimy windowpane,
307
00:16:51,288 --> 00:16:54,961
out to a water tower
with faded lettering.
308
00:16:54,962 --> 00:16:58,234
I-T-E space S-T.
309
00:16:58,235 --> 00:16:59,938
Then someone found
a manufacturer
310
00:16:59,939 --> 00:17:01,407
named Granite State Steel,
311
00:17:01,408 --> 00:17:06,418
and next to one of their,
um, water towers was...
312
00:17:07,186 --> 00:17:08,856
a trailer park.
313
00:17:08,857 --> 00:17:11,060
They knocked on doors,
314
00:17:11,061 --> 00:17:14,267
the guy ran, and
they found Amelia.
315
00:17:15,737 --> 00:17:19,177
Her family sends me
Christmas cards every year.
316
00:17:21,682 --> 00:17:25,289
It's been 17 years since
you've seen a missing child?
317
00:17:29,364 --> 00:17:30,600
Yes.
318
00:17:33,405 --> 00:17:35,776
Good night.
- Good night.
319
00:17:35,777 --> 00:17:37,413
(man): That's it? A blue sedan?
320
00:17:37,914 --> 00:17:40,819
- From the '90s, right?
- It could be the early aughts.
321
00:17:40,820 --> 00:17:43,792
Definitely an older model.
With a pull-down armrest
322
00:17:43,793 --> 00:17:47,366
in the backseat. Rory
was using to draw on it.
323
00:17:47,367 --> 00:17:49,403
And, and there was a burger
wrapper in the cup holder.
324
00:17:49,404 --> 00:17:51,542
Didn't you say that?
- Yeah.
325
00:17:53,813 --> 00:17:55,481
Are, are you gonna
write it down?
326
00:17:55,482 --> 00:17:57,419
Okay. Uh, I'll write it down,
327
00:17:57,420 --> 00:17:59,925
along with your
other tips. Yeah.
328
00:17:59,926 --> 00:18:01,962
An older woman with
a Southern accent,
329
00:18:01,963 --> 00:18:03,431
a backyard with a tire swing,
330
00:18:03,432 --> 00:18:06,071
and the sounds of jack-hammering
from a construction site.
331
00:18:06,906 --> 00:18:09,978
You didn't also happen to
see like a license plate?
332
00:18:09,979 --> 00:18:12,918
Or um, a street sign?
Or a state flag?
333
00:18:14,020 --> 00:18:17,459
Lorraine has seen things that
can't otherwise be explained.
334
00:18:17,460 --> 00:18:19,196
She knew Rory had
that purple car
335
00:18:19,197 --> 00:18:21,735
the day he disappeared.
- It's not much to go on.
336
00:18:21,736 --> 00:18:23,739
Yeah, but it's something.
337
00:18:23,740 --> 00:18:25,810
I didn't peg you as much
of a believer, Ms. Conley.
338
00:18:25,811 --> 00:18:28,481
Well, at least it's better
than the nothing your office
339
00:18:28,482 --> 00:18:30,151
has to show for the past year.
340
00:18:30,152 --> 00:18:31,555
Okay. Just because we
don't have answers,
341
00:18:31,556 --> 00:18:33,125
doesn't mean we're
not still looking.
342
00:18:33,492 --> 00:18:36,732
We're tracking half a dozen
child-abduction cases.
343
00:18:36,733 --> 00:18:37,834
Three in particular.
344
00:18:37,835 --> 00:18:40,038
If we solve one of those,
it could lead us to him.
345
00:18:40,039 --> 00:18:42,711
So, I apologize
346
00:18:42,712 --> 00:18:45,215
if I'm not keen on
wasting our resources
347
00:18:45,216 --> 00:18:46,651
tracking down a
palm reader's tip.
348
00:18:46,652 --> 00:18:48,421
She found that
girl, Amelia Price.
349
00:18:48,422 --> 00:18:50,191
A broken clock's
right twice a day.
350
00:18:50,192 --> 00:18:52,095
But it's not just
random guesses,
351
00:18:52,096 --> 00:18:53,498
I gave concrete details.
352
00:18:53,499 --> 00:18:55,970
Yeah, that's great, fine, great,
353
00:18:55,971 --> 00:18:57,607
but you're not
exactly one for one,
354
00:18:57,608 --> 00:18:59,109
are you, Ms. Howell?
355
00:18:59,110 --> 00:19:01,381
I looked you up on
the NCIC database
356
00:19:01,382 --> 00:19:02,950
and there were six
cases, six I could find,
357
00:19:02,951 --> 00:19:05,255
I'm sure there were more
where you offered information.
358
00:19:05,256 --> 00:19:07,392
For someone who
can't force a vision,
359
00:19:07,393 --> 00:19:09,163
you've got a lot to say.
360
00:19:09,164 --> 00:19:11,000
And not enough of a track
record to back it up.
361
00:19:11,001 --> 00:19:13,204
I wonder if you're more
worried about your track record
362
00:19:13,205 --> 00:19:16,043
than mine. Those are
a lot of case files.
363
00:19:16,044 --> 00:19:18,315
Maybe you've bitten
off too much?
364
00:19:18,316 --> 00:19:20,319
A man your age has to
be looking at the clock,
365
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,189
hoping for that
promotion to Captain.
366
00:19:22,190 --> 00:19:24,994
Maybe it's easier to
brush these pesky,
367
00:19:24,995 --> 00:19:28,468
unsolvable cases out of sight.
368
00:19:30,306 --> 00:19:31,775
I think we're done here.
369
00:19:31,776 --> 00:19:32,944
(sighs)
370
00:19:35,950 --> 00:19:41,361
Do yourself a favor?
Start ironing your shirts.
371
00:19:44,535 --> 00:19:46,571
You're so right, I mean,
look at his case load.
372
00:19:46,572 --> 00:19:48,341
He can't afford to have
someone else show him up.
373
00:19:48,342 --> 00:19:50,378
There were other cases?
374
00:19:50,379 --> 00:19:52,382
- Sorry?
- You said the last case
375
00:19:52,383 --> 00:19:54,688
you took was the Nevada
girl. But there were others.
376
00:19:54,689 --> 00:19:58,862
Yeah six. Six,
since Amelia Price.
377
00:19:58,863 --> 00:20:02,771
- Why didn't you tell us?
- In some cases, my...
378
00:20:03,238 --> 00:20:05,241
connection was severed.
379
00:20:05,242 --> 00:20:06,812
So you lied.
380
00:20:07,079 --> 00:20:08,348
(sighs)
381
00:20:08,983 --> 00:20:11,053
Yes, I lied.
382
00:20:11,054 --> 00:20:12,523
Did you really want to know
383
00:20:12,524 --> 00:20:14,561
that I stopped being able to see
384
00:20:14,562 --> 00:20:16,565
four of the six children,
385
00:20:16,566 --> 00:20:18,502
and that they were
later found dead?
386
00:20:18,503 --> 00:20:22,643
Did you really want to know how
often this doesn't work out?
387
00:20:22,644 --> 00:20:25,849
I'm sorry, but I
was protecting you.
388
00:20:25,850 --> 00:20:27,621
Rory is alive.
389
00:20:28,055 --> 00:20:29,924
That much I know.
390
00:20:29,925 --> 00:20:33,031
Just like I knew about Amelia.
391
00:20:34,869 --> 00:20:36,004
Ugh!
392
00:20:40,413 --> 00:20:43,350
The day we found Amelia
Price was a great day.
393
00:20:43,351 --> 00:20:46,257
A great day. I
was on Dan Rather,
394
00:20:46,258 --> 00:20:48,628
and I remember, he called
me a hero, and I said,
395
00:20:48,629 --> 00:20:51,133
look, the world had given up.
396
00:20:51,134 --> 00:20:54,006
But not me. Not the family.
397
00:20:54,842 --> 00:20:56,277
And not Lorraine.
398
00:20:56,278 --> 00:20:58,515
We had no leads, you know.
399
00:20:58,516 --> 00:21:00,384
Most of the team
had been reassigned.
400
00:21:00,385 --> 00:21:02,322
It was just me and the tip desk.
401
00:21:02,323 --> 00:21:04,728
Lorraine was a godsend.
402
00:21:04,729 --> 00:21:08,301
Deserved every bit
of that reward.
403
00:21:08,302 --> 00:21:10,272
And how much of the
reward did you receive
404
00:21:10,273 --> 00:21:11,808
for solving the case?
- None.
405
00:21:11,809 --> 00:21:14,246
And how were your financial
circumstances at the time?
406
00:21:14,247 --> 00:21:15,616
I was doing all right.
407
00:21:15,617 --> 00:21:17,419
I picked the Steelers
over the Seahawks
408
00:21:17,420 --> 00:21:20,158
in the Super Bowl, so...
- So you weren't experiencing
409
00:21:20,159 --> 00:21:22,830
any financial hardship
in 2006, correct?
410
00:21:22,831 --> 00:21:24,801
- Not particularly.
- Your Honor,
411
00:21:24,802 --> 00:21:28,375
I'd like to offer into evidence
the following document.
412
00:21:29,711 --> 00:21:30,879
(tense music)
413
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,418
Detective, do you
recognize what this is?
414
00:21:34,888 --> 00:21:38,729
Yeah, it's a letter from
the court from March 2006.
415
00:21:38,730 --> 00:21:40,967
You're eight months behind
on your child support.
416
00:21:40,968 --> 00:21:43,572
- Well yeah, but...
- Explain the highlighted
417
00:21:43,573 --> 00:21:46,143
portion on the list of assets
from your divorce settlement?
418
00:21:46,144 --> 00:21:49,382
Uh, this has nothing
to do with it.
419
00:21:49,383 --> 00:21:51,521
I'd just bought
a new Ford F-150.
420
00:21:51,522 --> 00:21:53,692
I was paying it off.
Look, I saved up,
421
00:21:53,693 --> 00:21:56,965
I got a promotion. I could
pull in more overtime
422
00:21:56,966 --> 00:21:58,969
once the Price case was
off my desk, all right?
423
00:21:58,970 --> 00:22:01,775
You said you were the only
one monitoring the tip line,
424
00:22:01,776 --> 00:22:04,681
and had a tip come in,
you would have received
425
00:22:04,682 --> 00:22:07,920
none of the reward
money, correct?
426
00:22:07,921 --> 00:22:08,989
That's what I said.
427
00:22:08,990 --> 00:22:12,062
So, just at time that
you were short on funds,
428
00:22:12,063 --> 00:22:16,170
an outside party who claimed
to have a supernatural gift,
429
00:22:16,171 --> 00:22:18,207
happened to offer up information
430
00:22:18,208 --> 00:22:19,677
that would reinforce her claim
431
00:22:19,678 --> 00:22:21,447
and secure her the reward money?
- Hold on...
432
00:22:21,448 --> 00:22:23,150
Wouldn't you both have benefited
433
00:22:23,151 --> 00:22:24,419
from splitting the reward money?
434
00:22:24,420 --> 00:22:26,390
That's not at all what
happened, all right?
435
00:22:26,391 --> 00:22:29,229
I did my job, I
brought Amelia home,
436
00:22:29,230 --> 00:22:31,133
and I'm not the
one on trial here.
437
00:22:31,134 --> 00:22:32,704
No further questions,
Your Honor.
438
00:22:37,146 --> 00:22:38,749
I...
439
00:22:38,750 --> 00:22:41,287
I-I can't get my statements.
440
00:22:41,288 --> 00:22:43,625
The bank's records
don't go back that far.
441
00:22:43,626 --> 00:22:46,532
But I used the reward to
pay off my credit card debt.
442
00:22:46,533 --> 00:22:48,502
I didn't know that man before.
- Okay. Okay.
443
00:22:48,503 --> 00:22:52,877
I didn't speak to him
after. You have to trust me.
444
00:22:54,214 --> 00:22:55,884
(little girl babbling)
445
00:22:56,318 --> 00:22:58,556
(soft piano music)
446
00:23:04,535 --> 00:23:06,738
Detective Serrano,
you have stated
447
00:23:06,739 --> 00:23:10,077
that the defendant fed
the Conleys false hope,
448
00:23:10,078 --> 00:23:12,015
that her so-called
visions had nothing to do
449
00:23:12,016 --> 00:23:13,852
with the disappearance
of Rory Conley.
450
00:23:13,853 --> 00:23:16,725
Can you state that conclusively?
- Yes, I can.
451
00:23:16,726 --> 00:23:18,528
And how do you know
that for a fact?
452
00:23:18,529 --> 00:23:19,998
(door bell rings)
453
00:23:22,203 --> 00:23:23,404
Frank?
454
00:23:23,405 --> 00:23:24,841
Maybe it's better if we sit.
455
00:23:24,842 --> 00:23:26,744
- No, I don't want to sit down.
- Ms. Conley...
456
00:23:26,745 --> 00:23:28,649
Just say it. (man sighs)
457
00:23:28,650 --> 00:23:30,018
I have some news.
458
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:31,890
It's not good news,
459
00:23:32,223 --> 00:23:33,559
but maybe, I hope,
it'll bring you
460
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,095
some amount of peace.
461
00:23:36,164 --> 00:23:39,505
Last night, we charged a man
with the murder of your son.
462
00:23:39,839 --> 00:23:41,775
(ominous music)
463
00:23:42,678 --> 00:23:43,946
No.
464
00:23:44,413 --> 00:23:46,316
How do... how do you know?
465
00:23:46,317 --> 00:23:47,452
He confessed.
466
00:23:47,453 --> 00:23:50,158
Oh! Oh no!
467
00:23:52,496 --> 00:23:54,133
(crying)
468
00:23:57,340 --> 00:23:59,977
Four days ago, a
retired contractor
469
00:23:59,978 --> 00:24:02,650
named Matthew Lee Boyd
was stopped at a D.U.I.
470
00:24:02,651 --> 00:24:04,720
checkpoint in Virginia.
471
00:24:04,721 --> 00:24:06,257
His fingerprints matched those
472
00:24:06,258 --> 00:24:09,564
of a case of a missing
Pittsburgh boy, Noah Jackson.
473
00:24:09,565 --> 00:24:12,268
In the trunk of his car,
we found children's toys
474
00:24:12,269 --> 00:24:13,538
and zip ties.
475
00:24:13,539 --> 00:24:15,642
Now, while under interrogation,
476
00:24:15,643 --> 00:24:18,080
he admitted to two more murders.
477
00:24:18,081 --> 00:24:21,754
One boy had gone missing in
Richmond, that's Caden Greer,
478
00:24:21,755 --> 00:24:25,730
and the second was... was Rory.
479
00:24:27,534 --> 00:24:28,568
(exhales)
480
00:24:28,569 --> 00:24:30,037
Did he...
481
00:24:30,038 --> 00:24:32,677
Did he tell you
where he took Rory?
482
00:24:32,678 --> 00:24:35,816
Well, he was on a bender,
so he doesn't remember much,
483
00:24:35,817 --> 00:24:38,589
but he is cooperating.
It'll take some time
484
00:24:38,590 --> 00:24:41,059
to track down the
bodies. But for now,
485
00:24:41,060 --> 00:24:43,798
we have his license plate
charged with a highway toll
486
00:24:43,799 --> 00:24:46,605
on I-85 around the time
that Rory disappeared.
487
00:24:46,606 --> 00:24:48,842
- Are you sure that's...
- No! You don't talk!
488
00:24:48,843 --> 00:24:51,247
You don't say one
single damn thing.
489
00:24:53,051 --> 00:24:55,690
(tense music)
490
00:25:01,869 --> 00:25:04,840
What are you doing?
Why aren't you packing?
491
00:25:04,841 --> 00:25:08,181
Do you need some help?
Here, I'll help you.
492
00:25:09,752 --> 00:25:11,554
- Melissa, hey, whoa...
- I told you to get out.
493
00:25:11,555 --> 00:25:13,357
What is wrong with
you? Why won't you go?
494
00:25:13,358 --> 00:25:15,128
The police have it wrong.
495
00:25:20,941 --> 00:25:23,578
The police have it wrong.
- How do you know?
496
00:25:23,579 --> 00:25:25,582
Oh Frank, please don't
keep falling for it.
497
00:25:25,583 --> 00:25:27,686
How can they say
anything conclusively
498
00:25:27,687 --> 00:25:30,526
if there's no physical evidence?
- Evidence?
499
00:25:30,527 --> 00:25:32,361
You read tea leaves!
500
00:25:32,362 --> 00:25:34,668
Don't talk to us about evidence!
501
00:25:35,570 --> 00:25:37,673
I swear, I can still feel him.
502
00:25:37,674 --> 00:25:39,677
Yeah, and so can I.
503
00:25:39,678 --> 00:25:43,618
But he was my son, and I
knew him and you didn't.
504
00:25:43,619 --> 00:25:46,624
And you watched this news
clip and hallucinated a boy
505
00:25:46,625 --> 00:25:49,564
that was already
dead, you leech!
506
00:25:49,565 --> 00:25:52,837
Just get her out of here.
507
00:25:57,614 --> 00:26:00,853
(dramatic music swells)
508
00:26:14,380 --> 00:26:16,050
Wait, Lorraine.
509
00:26:16,952 --> 00:26:19,757
Maybe I'm stupid for
still believing you.
510
00:26:19,758 --> 00:26:21,260
Maybe it's just
wishful thinking.
511
00:26:21,261 --> 00:26:22,964
But I don't want you to go.
512
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,841
' Cause once you go, it's
over. I'm never finding him.
513
00:26:31,949 --> 00:26:33,718
So Frank kept her around.
514
00:26:33,719 --> 00:26:35,755
And that's when all
hell broke loose.
515
00:26:35,756 --> 00:26:38,561
Inside, a man is being
charged for three murders,
516
00:26:38,562 --> 00:26:40,699
but there are only two bodies.
517
00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:43,872
I feel for the parents of
Noah Jackson and Caden Greer,
518
00:26:43,873 --> 00:26:46,076
who are experiencing
the unimaginable,
519
00:26:46,077 --> 00:26:49,083
but at least they know what
happened to their child.
520
00:26:49,084 --> 00:26:51,788
I don't. Matthew Lee
Boyd has not been able
521
00:26:51,789 --> 00:26:54,827
to point to Rory's
body. He doesn't know.
522
00:26:54,828 --> 00:26:57,900
The true crime podcasts.
The social media sleuths.
523
00:26:57,901 --> 00:27:00,940
Someone found CCTV footage
of a blue '98 sedan
524
00:27:00,941 --> 00:27:02,876
near the convention
center that day,
525
00:27:02,877 --> 00:27:04,714
so that meant Lorraine
must be right.
526
00:27:04,715 --> 00:27:06,449
Right now, I'm
focused on convicting
527
00:27:06,450 --> 00:27:09,122
a confessed criminal, okay?
So please, out of my way.
528
00:27:09,123 --> 00:27:11,093
I understand why
Detective Serrano
529
00:27:11,094 --> 00:27:12,663
wants this case
closed, but he hasn't
530
00:27:12,664 --> 00:27:14,366
produced sufficient proof.
531
00:27:14,367 --> 00:27:15,903
You don't always get
the physical evidence,
532
00:27:15,904 --> 00:27:17,640
but I'm pretty damn close.
533
00:27:17,641 --> 00:27:19,610
If the police are asking
me to abandon hope
534
00:27:19,611 --> 00:27:23,417
that my son is alive,
I need certainty.
535
00:27:23,418 --> 00:27:25,522
Not "pretty damn close."
536
00:27:25,523 --> 00:27:27,526
You can't blame a
grieving father.
537
00:27:27,527 --> 00:27:29,329
He wanted to keep his boy alive.
538
00:27:29,330 --> 00:27:30,833
But what did she want?
539
00:27:30,834 --> 00:27:32,803
Why couldn't she let it go?
540
00:27:32,804 --> 00:27:35,676
Maybe she needed to keep her
resume clean for next time.
541
00:27:35,677 --> 00:27:37,881
(knocking)
542
00:27:41,220 --> 00:27:42,756
Can I come in?
543
00:27:42,757 --> 00:27:44,961
Yes. Of course.
544
00:27:49,003 --> 00:27:51,875
I found this place on our
credit card statements.
545
00:27:53,713 --> 00:27:55,381
Sixty bucks a night?
546
00:27:55,382 --> 00:27:56,584
That's highway robbery.
547
00:27:56,585 --> 00:27:57,853
Well, Frank said he wanted to...
548
00:27:57,854 --> 00:27:59,657
Frank doesn't have it
in him to tell you no.
549
00:27:59,658 --> 00:28:01,427
Same as with Rory.
550
00:28:02,597 --> 00:28:04,568
He lets you take
advantage of him.
551
00:28:05,069 --> 00:28:08,342
Rory couldn't take
advantage of you, could he?
552
00:28:08,676 --> 00:28:11,414
No. I was the strict one.
553
00:28:11,415 --> 00:28:12,783
Someone had to be.
554
00:28:12,784 --> 00:28:14,285
(chuckles)
- Yeah.
555
00:28:14,286 --> 00:28:16,457
Otherwise, he'd be up
till midnight every night
556
00:28:16,458 --> 00:28:17,927
eating Froot Loops.
557
00:28:18,963 --> 00:28:20,833
And you thought,
when he was older,
558
00:28:20,834 --> 00:28:22,436
he would understand.
559
00:28:23,906 --> 00:28:25,809
I figured he'd
have self-control,
560
00:28:25,810 --> 00:28:28,716
and teeth with no cavities,
and he'd thank me.
561
00:28:29,584 --> 00:28:31,153
But now he's gone.
562
00:28:33,091 --> 00:28:36,565
And he knew me as the
lady who only said no.
563
00:28:37,266 --> 00:28:39,069
- I'm sure he didn't...
- The district attorney
564
00:28:39,070 --> 00:28:40,906
reached out to me. They
want to prosecute you
565
00:28:40,907 --> 00:28:43,377
for exploiting our situation
and standing in the way
566
00:28:43,378 --> 00:28:44,581
of an investigation.
567
00:28:45,182 --> 00:28:47,620
These things carry prison time.
568
00:28:47,621 --> 00:28:49,323
Forfeiture of assets.
569
00:28:52,864 --> 00:28:55,335
Wh... Why are you
telling me this?
570
00:28:55,336 --> 00:28:57,573
They won't have a case
without my testimony.
571
00:28:57,574 --> 00:29:00,112
So I won't cooperate.
- Oh.
572
00:29:00,514 --> 00:29:02,015
On one condition.
573
00:29:02,918 --> 00:29:05,121
Tell Frank you got it wrong.
574
00:29:05,990 --> 00:29:08,061
Tell him Rory's gone.
575
00:29:08,729 --> 00:29:10,097
- Melissa...
- As long as you keep
576
00:29:10,098 --> 00:29:12,035
his hope alive, the
wound will never heal.
577
00:29:12,036 --> 00:29:15,274
And-and we have to move on.
578
00:29:15,275 --> 00:29:19,149
And it is not too late, and
we could start over, and...
579
00:29:19,150 --> 00:29:20,352
Please.
580
00:29:21,054 --> 00:29:22,054
Please?
581
00:29:22,691 --> 00:29:24,828
I've already lost my son.
582
00:29:25,462 --> 00:29:27,399
I can't lose my husband, too.
583
00:29:27,901 --> 00:29:30,037
(soft music)
584
00:29:30,038 --> 00:29:33,846
I didn't ask for
this. I saw something.
585
00:29:34,313 --> 00:29:37,118
You said it had enough
truth to it that I should
586
00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:40,525
uproot my life. And yes, I
didn't leave much behind.
587
00:29:40,526 --> 00:29:42,796
And yes, I accepted your money,
588
00:29:42,797 --> 00:29:46,003
but that doesn't
mean I am a fraud.
589
00:29:46,004 --> 00:29:48,508
Please, just tell
me how much. Please.
590
00:29:48,509 --> 00:29:50,980
(laughing)
591
00:29:51,715 --> 00:29:53,819
Look at where I am.
592
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,524
If I could be bought,
don't you think
593
00:29:56,525 --> 00:30:00,532
I would have been bought?
If, if I were a fraud,
594
00:30:00,533 --> 00:30:01,901
I would cut my losses
595
00:30:01,902 --> 00:30:03,805
and take the
get-out-of-jail-free card.
596
00:30:03,806 --> 00:30:05,642
If, if I were a fraud,
597
00:30:05,643 --> 00:30:07,212
I would be able
to sleep at night
598
00:30:07,213 --> 00:30:10,084
without seeing a missing
child I never knew.
599
00:30:10,085 --> 00:30:15,061
Do you have any idea what
this gift has cost me?
600
00:30:15,062 --> 00:30:17,833
A marriage. A family.
601
00:30:17,834 --> 00:30:20,237
Everyone wants me
to see something!
602
00:30:20,238 --> 00:30:22,710
But if I can't, or if I do,
but it's not the right thing,
603
00:30:22,711 --> 00:30:26,483
then I am a con
artist and a liar!
604
00:30:26,484 --> 00:30:29,890
I don't see lottery numbers!
605
00:30:29,891 --> 00:30:31,895
I see pain.
606
00:30:32,730 --> 00:30:34,534
I... (sighs)
607
00:30:35,770 --> 00:30:38,207
I turn toward it...
608
00:30:39,277 --> 00:30:42,115
'cause I am the
only one who can.
609
00:30:51,669 --> 00:30:54,205
(door opens and slams shut)
610
00:30:54,206 --> 00:30:56,978
(man): Why didn't Matthew
Lee Boyd's case go to trial?
611
00:30:56,979 --> 00:30:59,282
He took a plea.
Three life sentences.
612
00:30:59,283 --> 00:31:02,121
- Was that your recommendation?
- Absolutely not.
613
00:31:02,122 --> 00:31:05,729
I said forget the death penalty,
I'll strangle him myself.
614
00:31:05,730 --> 00:31:07,131
But when it came down to it,
615
00:31:07,132 --> 00:31:08,635
I could forego the punishment
616
00:31:08,636 --> 00:31:10,873
to save the families from
sitting through a trial.
617
00:31:10,874 --> 00:31:12,643
So other words, he was so guilty
618
00:31:12,644 --> 00:31:13,978
beyond all reasonable doubt,
619
00:31:13,979 --> 00:31:15,950
a trial would only
serve to prolong
620
00:31:15,951 --> 00:31:18,119
the victims' families' pain?
- Correct.
621
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,390
Your Honor, I would like to
offer the following video
622
00:31:20,391 --> 00:31:21,493
into evidence.
623
00:31:21,494 --> 00:31:24,100
Detective, what do you
recognize this video to be?
624
00:31:24,467 --> 00:31:27,606
That is my interrogation
of Matthew Lee Boyd.
625
00:31:27,607 --> 00:31:29,342
(intriguing music)
626
00:31:29,343 --> 00:31:31,179
There's another
one, isn't there?
627
00:31:31,180 --> 00:31:34,521
- There was a third.
- A third kid? A boy?
628
00:31:35,455 --> 00:31:37,391
(Matthew): A boy, yeah.
- Where?
629
00:31:37,392 --> 00:31:39,763
(Matthew): I don't remember.
- Yeah, you do.
630
00:31:39,764 --> 00:31:42,937
What do you remember? (Matthew):
Are they gonna kill me?
631
00:31:42,938 --> 00:31:45,776
Maybe. These are
capital crimes.
632
00:31:45,777 --> 00:31:47,045
But if you cooperate,
633
00:31:47,046 --> 00:31:48,882
we may not pursue
the death penalty.
634
00:31:48,883 --> 00:31:50,519
Where was the third boy?
635
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,756
(Matthew): Near the
water. Big crowd.
636
00:31:52,757 --> 00:31:55,061
A convention?
637
00:31:57,032 --> 00:31:59,335
Yeah. A convention.
638
00:31:59,336 --> 00:32:01,172
(ominous music)
639
00:32:01,173 --> 00:32:03,277
So Boyd had no lawyer
during a confession
640
00:32:03,278 --> 00:32:05,080
that led to a guilty plea,
641
00:32:05,081 --> 00:32:06,851
and no trial during
which that confession
642
00:32:06,852 --> 00:32:08,254
could be properly examined?
643
00:32:08,255 --> 00:32:09,523
He waived his right to a lawyer.
644
00:32:09,524 --> 00:32:11,259
If he pointed you to
the other two bodies
645
00:32:11,260 --> 00:32:13,330
within hours, why not make
the location of the third body
646
00:32:13,331 --> 00:32:14,933
a condition of the
plea agreement?
647
00:32:14,934 --> 00:32:16,904
- It wasn't up to me.
- Did you recommend
648
00:32:16,905 --> 00:32:18,340
not pursuing the death penalty
649
00:32:18,341 --> 00:32:21,012
in order to elicit a confession
for Rory Conley's murder?
650
00:32:21,013 --> 00:32:23,283
Yes. That's how
confessions happen.
651
00:32:23,284 --> 00:32:24,620
Even knowing his confession
652
00:32:24,621 --> 00:32:27,692
rested upon information
you yourself gave him?
653
00:32:27,693 --> 00:32:29,631
(tense music)
(audience chatter)
654
00:32:36,645 --> 00:32:38,915
Do you swear that the
evidence you give to the court
655
00:32:38,916 --> 00:32:40,451
shall be the truth,
the whole truth,
656
00:32:40,452 --> 00:32:42,856
and nothing but the
truth, so help you God?
657
00:32:42,857 --> 00:32:44,527
I do.
658
00:32:47,132 --> 00:32:49,369
When did you first become aware
659
00:32:49,370 --> 00:32:53,043
you possessed such an
extraordinary gift?
660
00:32:53,044 --> 00:32:55,280
I was too young to remember
661
00:32:55,281 --> 00:32:57,719
when my brother was
shipped off to Vietnam.
662
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,959
But I remember when my family
663
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,063
got the call saying his unit
664
00:33:03,064 --> 00:33:06,402
had gone out on night
patrol and never come back.
665
00:33:06,403 --> 00:33:08,641
Four confirmed dead,
two Missing in Action.
666
00:33:08,642 --> 00:33:11,346
We knew what that meant.
He was dead, but no bodies.
667
00:33:11,347 --> 00:33:14,755
My mother was out of her mind.
668
00:33:15,055 --> 00:33:17,057
Joe was the oldest,
669
00:33:17,058 --> 00:33:19,462
her golden boy.
670
00:33:19,463 --> 00:33:22,503
I didn't understand what
was happening. I couldn't...
671
00:33:23,605 --> 00:33:25,677
(sighs) console her.
672
00:33:26,044 --> 00:33:28,648
One day, I was in Joe's room.
673
00:33:28,649 --> 00:33:32,289
Um, and I saw him.
674
00:33:33,659 --> 00:33:37,499
Somewhere far away, wrapped
in a checkerboard quilt.
675
00:33:39,637 --> 00:33:40,973
Green and white.
676
00:33:40,974 --> 00:33:42,577
What did you make of it?
677
00:33:43,345 --> 00:33:45,248
I knew it wasn't
a hallucination.
678
00:33:45,249 --> 00:33:47,051
I tried to imagine
where he was before,
679
00:33:47,052 --> 00:33:48,655
but this was different.
680
00:33:48,656 --> 00:33:50,258
I knew...
681
00:33:51,227 --> 00:33:54,835
this was happening.
682
00:33:55,135 --> 00:33:58,073
I knew he was alive.
683
00:33:58,074 --> 00:34:00,512
Did your family believe you?
684
00:34:00,513 --> 00:34:03,049
My mother didn't
need any convincing.
685
00:34:03,050 --> 00:34:05,689
We'd sit... together at night
686
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:09,963
and I'd tell her what I saw.
687
00:34:09,964 --> 00:34:14,072
How Joe needed a haircut and...
688
00:34:14,073 --> 00:34:16,476
(sighs)
689
00:34:16,477 --> 00:34:17,713
a shower.
690
00:34:17,714 --> 00:34:20,084
And then you got the call.
691
00:34:20,085 --> 00:34:23,491
Yes. They had negotiated
his release...
692
00:34:24,426 --> 00:34:29,069
from a prison camp, and he
was alive and coming home.
693
00:34:31,073 --> 00:34:32,309
It...
694
00:34:33,545 --> 00:34:37,786
And it was, it was like our
lives were starting up again.
695
00:34:37,787 --> 00:34:39,723
Um... (sniffling)
696
00:34:39,724 --> 00:34:43,364
The day after he came back,
he said that the one thing
697
00:34:43,365 --> 00:34:47,506
that kept him going
was playing chess.
698
00:34:49,377 --> 00:34:51,548
And it turned out that...
699
00:34:52,116 --> 00:34:56,558
that chessboard was
green and white.
700
00:34:58,261 --> 00:35:00,331
We have some clippings
from the local paper
701
00:35:00,332 --> 00:35:01,835
to offer into evidence.
702
00:35:04,206 --> 00:35:06,578
(crowd whispering)
703
00:35:08,782 --> 00:35:11,253
(ominous music)
704
00:35:12,088 --> 00:35:15,895
So, if you are a fraud,
is it fair to say
705
00:35:15,896 --> 00:35:18,769
you began your
grift quite early?
706
00:35:19,671 --> 00:35:21,473
And for no money at all?
707
00:35:25,849 --> 00:35:28,654
Ms. Howell, did it feel good,
708
00:35:28,655 --> 00:35:31,226
seeing how grateful
the Conleys were?
709
00:35:31,227 --> 00:35:32,796
How much your information
meant to them?
710
00:35:32,797 --> 00:35:35,835
I was happy to be able
to provide that hope.
711
00:35:35,836 --> 00:35:38,073
Hmm, just as I'm sure
you were happy to provide
712
00:35:38,074 --> 00:35:39,977
hope that to your own mother?
- Yes.
713
00:35:39,978 --> 00:35:42,716
Now you said that your
brother was the golden child.
714
00:35:42,717 --> 00:35:43,818
What did that make you?
715
00:35:43,819 --> 00:35:46,724
I was shy. Quiet.
The youngest of five.
716
00:35:46,725 --> 00:35:50,665
Uh, my mother was sure
I would ruin my eyesight
717
00:35:50,666 --> 00:35:52,135
with how much time
I spent reading.
718
00:35:52,136 --> 00:35:54,673
But she was much more
focused on my brothers.
719
00:35:54,674 --> 00:35:56,644
And when you were the only
one that knew your brother
720
00:35:56,645 --> 00:35:58,948
was alive, did it
bring you together?
721
00:35:58,949 --> 00:36:01,419
Yes. We leaned on each other.
722
00:36:01,420 --> 00:36:05,662
Gosh, that feeling, that
feeling of being a hero,
723
00:36:05,663 --> 00:36:06,998
being important...
724
00:36:06,999 --> 00:36:09,469
must have been intoxicating?
725
00:36:10,839 --> 00:36:13,110
I suppose. I was very young.
726
00:36:13,111 --> 00:36:14,746
Well, fast-forward to now.
727
00:36:14,747 --> 00:36:17,753
You've had some very
high-profile successes,
728
00:36:17,754 --> 00:36:19,322
some quiet failures.
729
00:36:19,323 --> 00:36:21,995
Tell me, why do you
keep going back to it?
730
00:36:21,996 --> 00:36:25,368
Because I... I...
731
00:36:26,337 --> 00:36:29,242
I have to.
- You "have to".
732
00:36:29,243 --> 00:36:31,412
You have to what? Make
up for your first,
733
00:36:31,413 --> 00:36:33,050
greatest failure?
734
00:36:33,986 --> 00:36:36,256
Please tell us about the
passing of your brother.
735
00:36:36,257 --> 00:36:38,394
(crowd chattering)
736
00:36:39,263 --> 00:36:41,801
Uh, four years
after he came home,
737
00:36:41,802 --> 00:36:44,874
he was killed in a head-on
collision with a drunk driver
738
00:36:44,875 --> 00:36:47,813
on Route 108. He was on his
way to pick me up from school.
739
00:36:47,814 --> 00:36:49,717
And when you failed to
foresee the accident,
740
00:36:49,718 --> 00:36:52,388
did you blame yourself?
(whispering): He was on...
741
00:36:52,389 --> 00:36:54,593
(louder): He was on his way to
pick me up, how could I not?
742
00:36:54,594 --> 00:36:59,301
But I, I never claimed to
be able to see the future.
743
00:36:59,302 --> 00:37:00,705
I wish I could.
744
00:37:00,706 --> 00:37:02,776
But your mother believed
wholeheartedly in your gift,
745
00:37:02,777 --> 00:37:05,949
didn't she? And did that
belief lead her to place
746
00:37:05,950 --> 00:37:08,253
all the responsibility for
keeping your brother safe
747
00:37:08,254 --> 00:37:10,926
onto you?
- She didn't blame me, no.
748
00:37:12,362 --> 00:37:14,867
But she never quite
trusted me again.
749
00:37:14,868 --> 00:37:16,403
And what about the
rest of your family,
750
00:37:16,404 --> 00:37:18,441
would you consider
yourselves estranged?
751
00:37:19,978 --> 00:37:21,079
No.
752
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,883
When was the last
time you saw them?
753
00:37:23,284 --> 00:37:25,755
2002 at my mother's funeral.
754
00:37:25,756 --> 00:37:28,460
Is that why you seek
out new families?
755
00:37:28,461 --> 00:37:31,432
Desperate, broken
ones like the Conleys,
756
00:37:31,433 --> 00:37:33,672
who welcomed you with open arms?
757
00:37:34,306 --> 00:37:37,078
(crowd chatters)
758
00:37:37,079 --> 00:37:39,716
I just wanna help.
759
00:37:39,717 --> 00:37:40,819
Maybe.
760
00:37:40,820 --> 00:37:43,023
Maybe by offering them
what you couldn't provide
761
00:37:43,024 --> 00:37:45,460
for your own family gives
you meaning in your life?
762
00:37:45,461 --> 00:37:47,364
If I did it only for myself,
763
00:37:47,365 --> 00:37:51,139
I'd have learned by now
to stay far, far away.
764
00:37:51,140 --> 00:37:54,311
And yet you've spent your life
seeking to be indispensable
765
00:37:54,312 --> 00:37:56,282
to people in pain, haven't you?
766
00:37:56,283 --> 00:37:58,486
Would you say, Ms.
Howell, that the trouble
767
00:37:58,487 --> 00:38:00,792
with an unpredictable
gift, felt only by the one
768
00:38:00,793 --> 00:38:03,931
who possesses it, is that it
bears a striking resemblance
769
00:38:03,932 --> 00:38:05,969
to somebody just making guesses?
770
00:38:06,805 --> 00:38:11,046
But I'm not just making guesses.
771
00:38:12,082 --> 00:38:14,018
I'm, I'm not lying.
772
00:38:14,019 --> 00:38:16,824
But how can you be sure
you're telling the truth?
773
00:38:16,825 --> 00:38:20,297
I mean, after all, isn't a
truly successful fraudster's
774
00:38:20,298 --> 00:38:22,435
first victim herself?
775
00:38:23,137 --> 00:38:24,539
(dramatic music swells)
776
00:38:24,540 --> 00:38:26,443
No further questions Your Honor.
777
00:38:28,916 --> 00:38:30,751
In a trial for fraud,
the State is required
778
00:38:30,752 --> 00:38:33,456
to prove three things
beyond a reasonable doubt.
779
00:38:33,457 --> 00:38:37,933
One: that the defendant
knowingly misrepresented facts.
780
00:38:37,934 --> 00:38:41,439
Two, the defendant had
an intent to deceive
781
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,209
and succeeded in that deceit.
782
00:38:43,210 --> 00:38:47,484
And three, the deception was
done for financial benefit.
783
00:38:47,485 --> 00:38:49,054
It's not a question of
whether the defendant
784
00:38:49,055 --> 00:38:51,593
was right or wrong. That
much we may never know.
785
00:38:51,594 --> 00:38:53,731
It's not a question of whether
she profited financially
786
00:38:53,732 --> 00:38:56,637
when all is said and done.
It doesn't even matter
787
00:38:56,638 --> 00:38:59,341
whether you believe she's
entirely delusional.
788
00:38:59,342 --> 00:39:01,313
What it comes down to is this:
789
00:39:01,314 --> 00:39:03,584
Did Lorraine Howell
790
00:39:03,585 --> 00:39:06,190
believe what she was
telling the Conleys?
791
00:39:06,825 --> 00:39:10,197
The girl who kept her
family's hope alive,
792
00:39:10,198 --> 00:39:13,470
the woman who knowingly
exposes herself
793
00:39:13,471 --> 00:39:15,608
to some of the worst
pain in the world...
794
00:39:15,609 --> 00:39:19,550
Does that woman have
faith in her own gift?
795
00:39:36,951 --> 00:39:38,622
(exhales deeply)
796
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,630
(chuckling)
797
00:39:46,136 --> 00:39:47,840
I don't want the money back.
798
00:39:49,978 --> 00:39:52,616
I don't want her to go to jail.
I didn't do it to punish her,
799
00:39:52,617 --> 00:39:54,418
I did it to convince you.
800
00:39:54,419 --> 00:39:56,289
Maybe seeing it all
laid out, in court...
801
00:39:56,290 --> 00:39:58,293
You saw the same tape I saw.
802
00:39:58,294 --> 00:39:59,896
It wasn't a real confession...
- Stop.
803
00:39:59,897 --> 00:40:01,901
(soft music)
804
00:40:03,672 --> 00:40:05,942
I can't keep going
around and around.
805
00:40:05,943 --> 00:40:09,049
There will always
be reasons to doubt.
806
00:40:11,722 --> 00:40:14,694
What kind of father
would I be if I gave up?
807
00:40:18,067 --> 00:40:20,539
You were a wonderful father.
808
00:40:22,108 --> 00:40:24,212
And you could be, again.
809
00:40:27,853 --> 00:40:30,592
But I'm tired of hoping, Frank.
810
00:40:32,262 --> 00:40:34,499
I can't do it anymore.
811
00:40:37,472 --> 00:40:39,510
(judge): Has the jury
reached a verdict?
812
00:40:39,511 --> 00:40:41,513
We have, Your Honor.
813
00:40:41,514 --> 00:40:44,652
We the jury, in the case of
the State of North Carolina
814
00:40:44,653 --> 00:40:48,929
versus Lorraine Howell, find
the defendant not guilty.
815
00:40:49,296 --> 00:40:51,198
(dramatic music)
816
00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:52,401
(crowd chatters)
817
00:40:52,402 --> 00:40:54,338
(judge): Jurors, thank
you for your service.
818
00:40:54,339 --> 00:40:56,443
This court is adjourned.
819
00:40:56,444 --> 00:40:59,015
(gavel bangs)
(bailiff): All rise.
820
00:41:06,397 --> 00:41:08,634
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
821
00:41:08,635 --> 00:41:10,505
Lorraine. Lorraine.
822
00:41:13,579 --> 00:41:15,682
You'll call me, right?
823
00:41:15,683 --> 00:41:18,219
Even if you think something's
too small, I wanna,
824
00:41:18,220 --> 00:41:19,623
I wanna hear it.
825
00:41:19,624 --> 00:41:24,599
Yeah. Yeah, this isn't
over. It isn't over.
826
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,071
(grave music)
827
00:41:29,209 --> 00:41:30,712
Thank you.
828
00:41:32,883 --> 00:41:34,085
(sighs)
829
00:41:47,446 --> 00:41:49,048
(soft hopeful music)
830
00:41:49,049 --> 00:41:51,219
I figured since you
weren't calling me back,
831
00:41:51,220 --> 00:41:53,891
you probably didn't want me
sitting in the back of the court
832
00:41:53,892 --> 00:41:57,131
for the trial. But I wanted
to be here when it was over.
833
00:42:01,006 --> 00:42:04,245
(sobbing): It's good...
It's good to see you, Ray.
834
00:42:10,926 --> 00:42:12,796
(sighs)
835
00:42:12,797 --> 00:42:15,201
You ready to go home?
836
00:42:19,009 --> 00:42:20,679
Car's fixed.
837
00:42:22,583 --> 00:42:24,853
Um, more or less.
838
00:42:24,854 --> 00:42:27,024
(chuckles)
839
00:42:27,025 --> 00:42:29,295
(indistinct arguing)
840
00:42:35,141 --> 00:42:36,778
(sighs)
841
00:42:39,149 --> 00:42:40,217
You did all you could.
842
00:42:40,218 --> 00:42:42,823
What else was there to
do but tell the truth?
843
00:42:46,129 --> 00:42:47,733
(muffled sob)
844
00:43:02,295 --> 00:43:03,865
You okay? (sniffles)
845
00:43:22,335 --> 00:43:25,642
(intriguing music)
