"Previously on Shark:" "Janet Butler, 28." "Motorist spotted her on the road." " Could it be our guy?" " He was in my head." "I don't ever wanna see him again." "I choose to live with my dad." "We're dealing with a real psychopath, Wayne." "Twisted, vicious." "I'd like to represent myself on this trial." "Please don't make me do this." "Because if you don't testify, Janet, Wayne Callison can go free." "Oh, damn." "Something you probably don't understand." "Maybe you never will." "You need me." "We find the defendant not guilty." "See you around, Sebastian." "Victim's Hannah Morton, 27." "Looks like she was hiking that trail over there." "The killer did a hell of a job on her." "Let me see her legs." "SID came up with a few footprints." "Otherwise, this thing's totally clean." "Without a witness, it's gonna be tough to find this guy." "I'll find him." "You were right." "It didn't work." "Can we set something up for next week?" "I can't wait to read it." "I hope you enjoy it." " Lanie." " Lanie." "Lanie, thank you so much." "Next." "How you holding up?" "And who do I make this out to?" "Captain Ahab." "Sebastian Stark." "I'm so touched you came." "I never figured you for a Melville fan, bro." "I'm all about the classics." ""The Hunted Man:" "How I Beat the Toughest Prosecutor in America."" "You're quite the literary sensation, Wayne." "And I owe it all to you." "Actually, I think you come off rather well." "Obsessed, yet diligent." "Could you take a photo, please?" "You push that shutter, you're gonna need an enema to find that camera." "Caught your latest performance tonight, Wayne." "You haven't lost your touch." "Have a drink, Sebastian." "You seem tense." "Enjoy the party, Wayne." "Because when I'm done with you you'll be writing your next bestseller from death row." "Two of Callison's victims were found within a half a mile of here." "And Janet Butler was found on the other side of that hill." "SID said the victim's watch was broken during the struggle." "Puts time of death at or around 10:04 last night." "Callison put out a book detailing his crimes." "Could be a copycat." "Why would Callison kill now when the country's reading his crimes?" "Hello?" "This guy is not John Q. Criminal." "Callison kills for attention." "He needs it." "You think he's gonna pass up the opportunity during his 15 minutes of fame?" "Talk to the family." "See if she had any link to Callison." "Tell Isaac to find someone, anyone who could've seen what happened." "And get me a search warrant to chez psycho." "Callison's house?" "What are we gonna use for probable cause?" "Fact that he's a serial killer could come in handy." "Callison's acquittal places those murders out." "You listen to me, you need probable cause, you manufacture it." "We had this guy by the throat and we let him go." "This stops now." "Dad, I'm in." " I am a Summer Scholar." " What does that mean?" "The most exclusive program in the country for 11 th and 12th graders." "It's got professors from Columbia, and Harvard and Yale." "Wait, when did you apply for this thing?" "That's the crazy part." "I didn't." "You remember that school in New York that Mom got me into?" "Well, it turns out that the headmaster runs Summer Scholars." "He remembered my application and submitted it." "I am freaking out, okay." "I leave in three weeks." "Have to shop, pack." " Pack?" " Summer Scholars is in Manhattan." "I'm so excited, I have to call Mom." "This is so cool." "Cool." "I begged Hannah not to go hiking at night." " But she said it made her feel better." " Was your daughter ill, Mrs. Morton?" "Hannah was diagnosed with mild schizophrenia when she was 15." "She'd been in and out of institutions since then." "And believe me, there were times when I wanted to give up on her." "Have you ever seen this man?" "No, I don't think so." "His name's Wayne Callison." "He taught writing at the Learning Center at Santa Monica State." "Any chance Hannah would have known him?" "She was just released from a mental hospital in Tucson three weeks ago." "She was there for two years." "Well, did she have any friends who we can talk to?" "Not really, Hannah spent most of her time online talking to people with similar problems." "Did your daughter divulge intimate details about her life during these online sessions?" "That's why she went on." "She said it was the only place she could be completely honest." " Not wasting time." " Never stay where I'm not wanted." "I say we booby-trap it before Cutler gets here." "I want you to give him your full support." "I want you to have sex with me, but I'm not holding my breath." " Would you excuse us, please?" " I hear you got offers from every firm." " Criminal defense?" " That's where the money is." " You and I could go head-to-head?" " You better hope not." "You want me to run strategy by you on Callison?" "I'll be gone by the time that's resolved." "You should call Cutler." "Yeah." "I'll get right on that." "You know, if I'd nailed Callison the first time around you probably wouldn't be packing up." "Well, you finally found a way to get rid of me, didn't you?" "Yeah, I've been in this building 15 years." "It's time to move on." " Just do me one favor." " Name it." "Put Callison away before he can kill anyone else." "You don't look old enough to drive, let alone cut people open." "I assure you, I am a fully qualified medical examiner." "This is a very high profile case." "I've done a rundown on Hannah Morton's injuries." "From the angle and depth of knife wounds to the leg we can extrapolate her attacker is over 6 feet left-handed and very strong." " Sound like anyone?" " Pulled this film for comparison." "Andrea Belknap." "Dana Thompkins." "And Janet Butler." "It's very likely these wounds were made by the same individual." "Even if Hannah Morton's wounds match Callison's victims the crimes are inadmissible." "Which is why you dig into Callison's past." "He is a ritual killer, that started before we came along." " I have something." " Why didn't you come in?" "I don't hang with dead people unless necessary." "What have you got?" "A guy named Dan Tomko called the cops." "He saw a guy matching the description hanging around an hour before Hannah got killed." " Is he credible?" " He's a solid citizen." "He saw the guy get into a silver Yukon." "Same car that Callison drives." "Get a couple uniforms, bring him in." "Whoa." "The wounds, the witness, the car, all good." "We need more if we're gonna take Callison." "In other words, I let him walk, don't screw it up again?" " I never said that." " You didn't have to." "Our guest is Wayne Robert Callison." "He's author of the book, The Hunted Man:" "How I Beat the Toughest Prosecutor in America." "Wayne, you wrote a chapter in here describing how you might've killed those women if you were really guilty." "I had a lot of time to study the crimes during my trial." "Are you concerned how people interpret that?" "Meaning?" "Meaning they might think you're a murderer and that you're bragging about it and you're in this to make money." "Is that what you think, Larry?" "Well, Wayne, in my experience, if it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck..." "We'll be right back." " We're out." " Sebastian, what's going on?" "Larry, sorry, your guest has a previous booking." "Wayne Callison, you're under arrest for the murder of Hannah Morton." "You didn't learn your lesson last time?" "I'm a sore loser." "Hang around for the next segment." "Wayne and I have a little reality show we're about to do on Court TV." "Thanks, Larry." "Oh, I could squeeze in a quick five, I guess." "Okay." "Can I get a little makeup?" "Some water?" "I understand you wish to represent yourself in this matter, Mr. Callison." " I do, Your Honor." " Any objection, Mr. Stark?" " Worked for him last time." " As to the issue of bail." "The people strenuously object to bail." "Mr. Callison is accused of a vicious homicide." "I have no criminal record." "He has a weak case built on questionable evidence." "In the interest of public safety, this defendant belongs in custody." "It is the judgment of this court that bail shall be granted." " Bail is set at $ 1.5 million." " Thank you." "Mr. Callison, will you post bail?" "Your Honor, I'm Wendy Phillips, Mr. Callison's assistant." "Mr. Callison's publisher, Rogan Press, will post his bond." "Very well." "We're adjourned." "Interview requests have gone through the roof since my arrest." "Amazon orders have tripled." "You're gonna make me a rich man." "Well, too bad you won't be able to spend your blood money." "Sorry to hear about Jessica losing the election." "Hurts when you don't win the big ones." "She'll land on her feet." "Can't say the same for you." ""At last the anchor was up, the sails were set, and off we glided."" "What the hell was that?" "Melville." "Moby Dick." "This is a dossier on Wayne Callison." "I've been building it since the day of his acquittal." "It starts with his birth at All Saints Hospital in Akron, Ohio, February 8th, 1961 and ends with this morning's bail hearing." "Last time, we got stuck in the present." "This time, we are embracing the past." "We need to show the jury the beast inside this guy." "In order to do that, we need to know him better than he knows himself." "Our shrink's interviewing Callison later." "And his shrink will rebut our shrink." "The same with our forensic expert and every Ph.D. we stick up there." "Go deeper." "Teachers, neighbors." "Anyone Callison rubbed shoulders with, I want an interview." " That's gonna take time." " Sleep is overrated." "Look, at the end of the day, in order to win this case we need Callison to take the stand." "He did that last time, almost cost him the case." "Which is why we need to convince him that he's losing." "And testifying is his only shot." "We should have waited until we had more before we charged him." "You say that one more time and you're off the case." "Get to work." "What have you got?" "Midwest Fiction Review." "I'm more of a Wine Spectator guy, thanks." "It's a fairly obscure literary review." "Check the table of contents." "There's an author you're gonna like." "All right." ""Written in Blood by Wayne Robert Callison."" "He wrote it when he was 23 years old." "It's about a mental patient who tortures a woman to death." "You know what they say." "Write what you know." "The description of the murder is incredibly graphic and very familiar." " Callison's M. O?" " Down to the surgical cuts in the legs." "So we can't use Callison's past attacks." "We can still give the jury a portrait of the serial killer as a young man." " In his own words." " Nice work, anything else?" "Cops talked to a Jeffrey Wharton." "He's an old friend of the victim's." "Casey and Isaac are checking." "Who told them to do that?" " You said chase down every lead." " After you run it by me." "God." "You're welcome." "How long were you and Hannah in the hospital together?" "Hannah checked in about four months after I did." "Why were you committed, Jeffrey?" "Severe bipolar disorder." "But I'm okay when I'm on my meds." "And when you're not?" "Last time, I pushed my dad through a plate glass window." "When's the last time you saw Hannah?" "I ran into her a couple weeks ago at the Farmers Market." "I'd been out a week, I was having a tough time." "But as soon as we started talking, suddenly everything was okay." " Have you ever met Hannah's mother?" " No." "Look, nobody knew about me and Hannah, okay?" "I mean, what we had was special." "We didn't need anybody else." "I'm sorry." "Can I use your bathroom?" "It doesn 't mean anything." "A mental patient keeps a psycho shrine to our victim." "That doesn't mean anything?" "If Wharton killed Hannah, why did he contact the authorities?" "Wouldn't be the first serial killer to contact a cop." "Let me break this down for you, okay?" "Hannah Morton's murder fits Wayne Callison's M. O down to the ritualized knife wound on left thigh." "Take yes for an answer." "Callison is our guy." " Shrine in Wharton's apartment?" " Guy's unstable." "There's a difference between shoving your old man and slicing up a friend." "It's exculpatory evidence." "We have an obligation to turn it over." "You have an obligation to do exactly what I tell you to do." "Now get back to work on Callison, and only Callison." "And you never heard of Jeffrey Wharton." "You got it?" "I'd never hurt Hannah, okay?" "You have to believe me." "Is that why you keep that art project in the closet?" "I've been making stuff like that for years." "I do that when I'm depressed." "It's like my therapy." "It makes you look like a stalker." "Are you a stalker?" "Hannah was my friend, okay?" "I loved her." "If Wayne Callison gets ahold of any of that stuff he's gonna be able to frame you for murder." "I'm sorry, okay, I'm sorry." "I only wanted to help." "I believe you, Jeffrey." " You do?" " Yes, I do." "Which is why I'm gonna need you to give me everything you have in your possession that connects you to Hannah." "Last thing I wanna do is get in the way of catching Hannah's killer." "Don't worry, we're gonna make sure that doesn't happen." "Written in Blood is a work of fiction, Your Honor." "Allowing it into evidence would be prejudicial." "The story speaks to Mr. Callison's penchant for violence." "I was a student in creative writing." "The only thing the story speaks to is my overactive imagination." "The murder in this "work of fiction" matches the circumstances of Hannah's death." "It was published in a literary journal." "Anyone who read it might have killed Miss Morton." "If Mr. Callison wishes to argue that a copycat committed this murder that's his right, but the story should come in." "It's a close call." "But in my judgment, allowing the story into evidence would prejudice the jury." " Your Honor..." " Always good to see you, Miss Poe." "Hey there." "Hey." "We need to talk." "Oh, I know." "I have got a million decisions to make in the next few weeks." "You know, Mom really wants me to come live with her." " But she is so far away from campus." " Yeah." "I made some calls today checking out this Summer Scholars." " Isn't it amazing?" " Yeah." "It also happens to be a funnel program for Porter Academy." "I know." "Can you believe it?" "Porter is the top prep school in the country." " Which happens to be in New York." " Yeah, that's where they built it." "Yeah, but you've had a..." "Had a rough year." " What are you talking about?" " I just don't think the timing is right." " Maybe next year." " Are you serious?" "All you've talked about since I was 3 was wanting to visit me at Harvard." "I know, and I may have put too much pressure on you." "This is about what's best for you, Jules." "Look, I'm sorry, I know this is disappointing..." "Mr. Tomko, you were hiking on the same trail as Hannah Morton before she died." " Yes." "What did you see?" "A tall man with long hair lurking near the tree line." "Can you describe his behavior?" "He kept looking around like he was hiding from someone." "He had something in his hand." "I was far away, but it looked like a knife." "Is there anyone in this courtroom who matches the description?" "Yes, he looked just like him." "Let the record reflect the witness has indicated the defendant, Mr. Callison." " You an honest man, Mr. Tomko?" " Yes." "You understand that lying under oath is a serious crime." " I understand." " Did you know who I was before this trial began?" "I read your name in the paper." "You are aware I was involved in prior litigation?" "Yes." "Were you also aware that a woman named Janet Butler was involved in this action against me?" "Yes." "Are you aware that Janet Butler took her own life and that many people blame me for this tragedy?" "You're one of those people, aren't you, Mr. Tomko?" "You killed her, you bastard." "And what was your relation to the late Miss Butler?" "She was my half-sister." "Mr. Tomko, were you in the park the night Hannah Morton was killed?" "No." "Without Tomko, we have nothing to link Callison." " Except his precise M.O." " We should consider other suspects." " Makes sense." " Wayne Callison killed Hannah." "Find something I can use to nail this guy." "I checked unsolved homicides in his hometown." "In 1975, there were five unsolved murders." "Now that's what I'm talking about." "One of the bodies was found one mile away from where Callison lived." " Contact the cops?" " They're sending us the files." "Temporary stay of execution." "I don't care how you do it." "Link Callison to those murders." "I'd like to call Mr. Stark to the stand." "If you're looking for a character witness, I'm not your guy." "This is a highly unusual request." "He has waged a systematic vendetta against me which predates this case." "It's called prosecuting murderers." "Part of my job." "Do you have any proof of this vendetta?" "I do." "Mr. Stark gave an interview to a local TV news reporter last night." "Wayne Callison is a vicious, psychotic killer who should be taken off the street." "I may have had a few cocktails." "The phrase that eluded you is "no comment."" "Yes." "We'll stop at nothing to ensure that this monster is convicted." "Well, this is only the latest in a string of malicious public statements made against me by Mr. Stark which clearly show the animus that drives him to persecute me." "Don't flatter yourself." "Because at the end of the day you are nothing more than a garden-variety homicidal maniac." "That may or may not be true, but I'm gonna allow Mr. Callison for the purpose of arguing malicious prosecution..." "That would prejudice our entire case." "Should have thought about that before..." "Handing him an acquittal." "Watch your tone, I'm gonna hand you a contempt citation." "You can hand..." "Fine." "You don't think very highly of me, do you, Mr. Stark?" "My personal feelings are irrelevant." "Not when I'm asserting malicious prosecution." "Answer the question, Mr. Stark." "If I had to choose one guy to be stranded on an island with you might not be my first choice." "You publicly assassinate the character of your defendants?" " Only the public assassins." " Mr. Stark." "Using the press is part of every high-profile prosecution." "In interviews, you have repeatedly referred to me as a monster." "Do you think I'm a monster, Mr. Stark?" "Frankly, Wayne, I'm not sure what you are." "Thank you." "Miss Troy, cross examination?" "Mr. Stark, you have prosecuted this defendant before, have you not?" "Yes." "I'd like to ask you questions about that." "Objection." "The court's already ruled that evidence inadmissible." "Mr. Callison has alleged a personal vendetta by Mr. Stark which extends back to the previous case." "We should put that into context." " Your Honor...?" " She's right, Mr. Callison." "You opened the door when you included Mr. Stark's comments on previous cases." "Several months ago, Mr. Callison was charged with the attempted murder of Janet Butler." "Do you recall those specific allegations?" "She said he stole her diary." "Janet was sexually abused by her father when she was a young girl." "Wayne Callison read her most sacred and painful secrets then he hunted her down like an animal." " Objection, speculation." " Overruled." "She said he took her down into his basement, tied her down." "Then he repeated the horrific details of her childhood molestation as he cut her again and again." "What happened to Miss Butler?" "Despite her pain and humiliation, she tried to testify against Mr. Callison." "But he repeatedly harassed her during the trial." "She hanged herself before she could complete her testimony." "Nothing further." "Redirect?" "Mr. Stark, was I convicted of any of the murders that you accused me of committing?" "No." "And you hold no special grudge against me?" "No." "I'm just any other defendant?" "That's right." "Does the name Jeffrey Wharton mean anything to you?" "Maybe seeing him again will jog your memory." "My investigator found him in Arizona." "Mr. Wharton lived in the psychiatric institution with the victim and was her close friend." "Until recently, he lived in Los Angeles where he was interviewed by Mr. Stark to whom he supplied evidence." "Was that evidence turned over to the defense?" "No." "Mr. Wharton contends that you gave him money to leave town." "Is that true?" "Yes." "I would hate to see how you treat a defendant you do have a grudge against." "I should throw out this case and toss you in jail." "Mr. Wharton supplied no exculpatory evidence." "He admits being infatuated with the victim." "He has a history of violence." "Mr. Stark realized I could have argued Wharton as a suspect." " He got rid of him." " That true?" "Your Honor, I just received word Mr. Wharton has an ain'tight alibi." "He was at an anger management seminar." "You didn't know that when you sent him to Arizona." "Did you attempt to hide this witness?" "He's irrelevant to the case." "His alibi confirms it." "Charges against me should be dismissed." "Just let the jury decide whether my actions have tainted this case." "This trial will continue, but you, Mr. Stark, are off the case." "And when this is over, you and I have a date with the State Bar." "You said Wharton never returned your call." "I didn't want you guys implicated." " You didn't have to cheat." " This isn't a math test." "Callison is a butcher." "Got to be stopped." " Gonna be tougher." " Should've trusted us." " We probably could have beaten him." " I don't do probably." " Who's gonna run point now?" " I've got somebody in mind." "Yeah, not in this lifetime." "You're the only one who can take over." " You have a team of prosecutors." " They're great, but they're kids." "They're not ready to run a case of this size." "Yeah, and there are 300 prosecutors in the office." " What about Sally Randolph?" " She does special victims." " And she's got a face like a possum." " She does not." "All right." "Bill Rodriguez." "Too aggressive." "Callison'll play victim and walk out the door." "I'm halfway out the door myself." "You're still a prosecutor and we have work to do." " No." " Remember the Bemis case?" " We put away a child killer." " That was a one-shot deal." "Cutler's been shoving Callison down your throat." "Don't you wanna go out putting this guy away?" "I'm not looking for redemption." "Well, I am." "Every single day that goes by, everywhere I look I see Janet Butler's face." "She begged me to leave her alone, but I just wouldn't listen." "I fed her to this guy." "I know I have no right to ask you." "But I'm asking." "Help me." "According to your statement you were with the defendant from 7 to 11 p. m the night the victim died?" " Right." "As his personal assistant, you escorted him to a party in Beverly Hills?" "For the release of his book, yes." "You told police you took the 101 freeway from Mr. Callison's house?" "Yes." "According to this map from Caltrans marked People's Exhibit G the 101 was closed due to a multi-vehicle crash." " Objection, Your Honor." "Relevance?" " To credibility." "Overruled." "Miss Phillips, do you have romantic feelings for the defendant?" "What?" "No." "A subpoena of your e-mail accounts reveals numerous messages to Mr. Callison that tell a different story." ""My darling, Wayne, when I think of us together..."" " Objection, Your Honor." " Overruled." "I'll repeat the question." "Do you have romantic feelings for the defendant?" "Yes." " And would you lie for him, Wendy?" " No." "That's funny." "I could have sworn you just did." "Jessica was great." "You should have seen it." "They had to take Wendy off the stand on a stretcher." " That's why she's the boss." " Former boss." "Without an alibi and with his previous murders admitted Callison's only shot is to take the stand and show he's normal." " Yeah, good luck with that." " He's been playing normal, he's good." "That was Akron P.D. They dug up their file on the unsolved homicide near Callison's home in 1975." "The victim was Rhonda James." "Apparently, she was familiar with the Callison family." "Intimately familiar." "I'm an English teacher and I have no criminal record." "My first contact with the criminal justice system was when Sebastian Stark and the L.A. District Attorney's Office began pursuing me, my life's never been the same." "I have learned when a given crime is written about in the papers when it's talked about on TV, it puts an incredible amount of pressure on the DA's Office to solve that crime quickly." "And if they can't well, that's when people like Miss Devlin lose their jobs." "I did not kill Hannah Morton." "And I'm begging you." "Please, give me back my life." "Miss Devlin." "Do you consider yourself a victim, Mr. Callison?" "Yes." "Yet, you wrote a book exploiting the suffering of murder victims." "I object to the characterization." "You're making money by describing the slayings of women." " What would you call it?" " I was unjustly accused." "I would call it my right to tell my story." "Hannah Morton's mother is grieving the loss of her only child." "Doesn't she have a right to expect justice?" "Of course she does." "And if the tables were turned wouldn't your mother be here demanding justice?" "My mother's dead." "Well, I'm sorry to hear that." "Were the two of you close?" "She left the family when I was quite young." "That must have been very difficult." "So you lived with your father?" "And my younger brother." "And did your father treat you well?" " He did the best he could." " Really?" "According to the police records in Akron, Ohio your father was a violent alcoholic who regularly abused you." "My father had a difficult life." "Several neighbors said that he would get drunk and bring women back to the small trailer you all shared." " So?" " Was that uncomfortable?" "Listening to your father have drunken sex with strange women just feet from where you slept?" " Your Honor?" " Withdrawn." "Have you ever heard the name Rhonda James?" "Not that I recall." "She was a bartender at Bucks Tavern." "She spent the night with your father on August 4th, 1975." " Remember her now?" " No." "The next morning, Rhonda's body was found in a field a mile from your trailer." "Her body was mutilated." " Ringing any bells?" " This is a..." "The police questioned your father, but never charged him." " Did they ever question you, Wayne?" " No." "Why do the knife wounds on Rhonda James match those on Hannah Morton?" " I don't know." " Was Rhonda your first victim?" "Were you tired of the parade of women filing through your trailer trying to replace your mother?" "Your Honor, I'd like a recess." " Denied." " Answer the question." " Was Rhonda your first?" " No." "Carve her up to punish your father?" "You don't know what you're talking about." "Maybe this isn't about your father at all." "Tell me, Wayne, when you were cutting Rhonda's throat when you were watching her die, were you thinking about your mother?" "I was thinking of every dirty little whore like you who deserves to be punished." "Temper, temper." "Will the defendant please rise?" " Has the jury reached a verdict?" " We have, Your Honor." ""In the matter of The County of Los Angeles v. Wayne Robert Callison first degree murder with special circumstances we find the defendant guilty as charged."" "The defendant is remanded into custody forthwith." "The jury is hereby excused with the court's thanks." "Hell of a job you did breaking down Callison." "I spoke to the judge." "He's willing to forego a disciplinary review." "I love that about him." "You're not gonna love the fine he's about to slap you with." "You gotta pay to play." "You think you're gonna be happy wining and dining clients and falsifying billable hours?" " It didn't hurt your bottom line." " It cost me plenty." "There's no free lunch, Jess." "You know, I could always use another good prosecutor." " You're offering me a job?" " Ironic, huh?" "But I've said it before." "You're a natural-born trial attorney." "You belong on the front lines, putting away bad guys." "Give up a million bucks a year, house seats to the Philharmonic to make 80 grand working in a crappy office for a control freak who's eventually gonna wind up disbarred?" "That is the glass half-empty version." "Here's the thing." "You can sell out, Jess." "God knows I did." "And for a while, everything will be okay." "But then one day, you're gonna wake up and you're gonna realize you're the bad guy." "It would never work." "We'd kill each other." "Maybe." "But you gotta admit, we make a hell of a team." "Sharks gaze up to the ship's decks like hungry dogs round a table where red meat is carved." "Melville's gonna be a big hit with the guys in maximum security, Wayne." "Have you come to gloat?" "It's like a horror movie." "You always need to make sure the monster's dead." "Well, I'm not dead yet and I just filed my appeal." " I expect we'll meet again." " Step out." "Let me tell you a little story, Wayne." "It's about you." "The day you were acquitted at the first trial I started tracking the missing persons cases to look for your next victim." " I thought I'd make you wait." " Yeah, well, I'm not very patient." "So all of a sudden I figured, why not be proactive?" "Why not just provide the victim myself?" "Hannah Morton wasn't murdered, Wayne." "She took her own life." "Carbon monoxide poisoning." "Easy to mask." "And by the way, Wayne, she was right in your wheelhouse." "Late 20s, troubled." " I'm impressed." " It gets even better." "You know the one thing you need to turn a suicide into a homicide, Wayne?" "You need a young, eager, grateful ME who owes you a favor." "I got him the job." "Kid's almost as good with a knife as you are, Wayne." "And when I told Hannah Morton's mother what I had in mind she went for it like that." "She said that she wanted her daughter's sad, short life to have meaning." "To save other young girls who were troubled from a guy like you." "Convincing a grieving mother to bequeath you the body of her only child." "You've outdone yourself, Sebastian." "I knew I had to make you think that you had the perfect alibi." "That you had someone who loved you." "Someone you could trust." "And this part's kind of a bummer for you, Wayne." "Maybe Wendy wasn't quite as infatuated with you as you thought." "In fact, her name wasn 't even Wendy." "But she did have the sole distinction of being the only person on the face of the Earth who wanted to nail you more than me." "But you did have some moments." "I gotta tell you." "I never thought you'd figure out that Dan Tomko was Janet Butler's half-brother." "But he took it like a champ." "Especially once I got his perjury charge dropped." "And Wharton?" "The witness you tried to hide?" "The victim's very own private stalker?" "What are the odds?" "And with Jessica already pissed off that you cost her the election we didn 't miss a beat." "And when I finally led my sweet, innocent team to Rhonda James it was just a matter of time before I knew you would self-destruct on the stand." "And they say I'm crazy." "Trust me, you are." "You're crazy." "Well, I will be sure to bring all this up on appeal." "Go for it, but I'm not a big one for loose ends, Wayne." "There's not a single scrap of paper." "Not one e-mail to confirm what I just told you." "Hannah Morton's remains have been cremated." "None of my lawyers knows a thing." "And the people who do aren't saying a word."

"When I chose you, I never even asked if you wanted me to live here." "And then I just announce that I'm leaving." "Jules." "You're doing the right thing." "I just thought we'd have more time."

"I'll miss you too."
