"Okay, so where are we?" "Well, Grace Goodwin is on her way up to Autopsy." "Nick said that she was really badly beaten." "So both of you think that the motive for all these murders is payback?" "Yeah." "I think that Steven Goodwin's friends," "J.D. And Duke, robbed the wrong house and crossed the wrong person." "What about Steven?" "Well, I got the SAE kit back on the woman who was abducted and sexually assaulted during the fourth home invasion." "RUSSELL:" "Alison Liss." "DNA from the semen not a match to Steven Goodwin."

"But then this lab report came up." "And the DNA showed that you raped Alison Liss." "So that means you were the third person in the home invasion crew." "If that's the case, why are you still alive when the other two guys are dead?"

"Yes... uh, tetraphosphorous decaoxide." "That's byproduct of phosphine gas and oxygen, right?" " Right." " I don't get it." "How does phosphine gas get in the trunk of Burt Markell's car?" "Source is usually phosphoric acid." "How it got in his trunk, total mystery." "Not to me." "I just got the tox report back on Burt Markell." "Showed high levels of zinc in his system." "Like the supplement?" "Yeah." "But these levels were off the charts." "I have a theory, though, as to how Burt "zinc'd out."" "You guys have seen Caddyshack, haven't you?" "Mole poison." "A greenskeeper's best friend." "A greenskeeper like our friend Burt Markell." "You think Burt was killed by mole poison?" "The active ingredient in mole poison is zinc phosphide." "And when it comes into contact with potassium bicarbonate, it creates phosphine gas." "And when that comes into contact with oxygen... you may want to put those on for this... creates a chemical reaction that is, well... the bomb." "Whoa." "Smell the garlic?" "Yeah." "And I see the white crystals... tetraphosphorous decaoxide." "Well, this is impressive, but we didn't find any mole poison in Burt's trunk." "Well, that's because the mole poison wasn't in his trunk;" "it was in Burt." "Wait... he ingested mole poison?" "That would kill him." "I checked Burt's FriendAgenda page." "He and Sandy Larken had a volatile relationship." "And the day that Sandy broke up with him, he posted a virtual suicide note." " Swallowing mole poison?" " Yeah." "And his stomach enzymes..." "like the potassium bicarbonate... reacted with the poison to create the phosphine gas." "So Burt didn't swallow fire;" "he belched it." "Think about it:" "Burt runs out of gas." "But being a greenskeeper, out of habit, he keeps an extra can of gas in his trunk." "The bui/d- up of gas in his stomach causes Burt to burp, causing the phosphine gas to ignite." "Combine that with the can of gaso/ine, and Houston, we have a prob/em." "Explains Burt's head injury, it explains the searing of his esophagus and stomach and the trachea, too."

"I mean, if you had anything at all, anything at all on me," "I wouldn't be sitting here, would I?" "I hope you sleep okay, because you just killed two innocent people, and orphaned a six-year-old girl." "Guess what." "I sleep just fine." "Whoever you hired screwed up, Tony." "J.D.

"When my kids were growing up," "I-I coached 'em what to do in an emergency:" ""Call 911, go to the neighbors." "If they're not home, wait outside."" "That's really good advice."

"Yeah, but I'm also thinking that Molly's mom coached her, just like I coached my kids." "But I'm a cop." "I-I knew what threats in the world I was afraid of." "So what was Grace Goodwin afraid of?"

"What about him?" "What's this about?" "(clears throat)" "What's that?" "You really want to play it this way?" "Really?" " 'Cause I'll play with you." " I'm not playing!" " I don't know what this is about!" " That is your confession to molesting your own son and daughter." "Grace recorded it, man." "This is some kind of trick." "Trick?" "No, no, no." "No tricks." "I don't know anything about any recording." "That disc is why you had them killed." "That disc is why you joined up with Tony Lash to beat and murder four people, including your own son and daughter." "No!" "I loved my daughter!" "And my son!" "I know I hurt them." "I know I did." "But that was a very long time ago." "I'm not that man anymore." "And all I wanted was the chance to prove it... have my family back together again." "Well, that may have been what you wanted, but that damn sure wasn't what Grace and Steven wanted." "There was no way in hell she was letting you go near Molly." "And I think that Grace wanted us to find that, so that even in death, she can bear witness against you." "It doesn't matter what you think." "My family is the most important thing to me." "I would die before I hurt them again." "STOKES: / don't think he knew anything about that recording." "What about the murders?" "Don't think he knew anything about them, either." "Okay, so what do we got?" "We have two of our victims..." "J.D. And Duke... clearly connect to Tony Lash." "Revenge killing for raping his niece." "And the other two..." "Grace and Steven Goodwin... to Bruce, to cover up for his past crimes." "But if Bruce didn't hook up with Lash to commit these murders, question is:" "Who did?" "Just got off the phone with Brass." "The wiretap on Lash's phone just came through." "I guess Brass really did rattle his cage." "Did he reach out to "Dave from Detroit"?" "Brass just found him with a bullet" " in his head." " Really?" "So Dave's not talking." "No, but someone else was talking plenty on that wiretap to Lash." "Turns out he's got a girlfriend, who, for once, is age-appropriate." "RUSSELL:" "Packing up are you, Mrs. Goodwin?" "Oh, yes, yes." "Uh, your officers told me earlier that they had released the crime scene." "It's so hard, but it... it has to be done." "Did you feel the same way about killing your grandkids?" " Excuse me?" " RUSSELL:" "You know, when I first heard about you and Tony Lash as a couple," "I just..." "I didn't get it." "Yeah, he said that you two were high-school sweethearts, that you reconnected after all these years." "It was a really sweet story." "You got a lot of stuff to go through there, don't you?" "I guess I could save her some time." "STOKES:" "Mm-hmm." "That is, if you're looking for a... a recording of your son's confession," "I made a copy for you." "Actually, you know what, it's more for your lawyer." "I have no idea what you're talking about." "My grandchildren were beaten to death in this house." "How dare you accuse me!" "Oh, we don't have to accuse you of anything." "You already took care of that yourself." "Another little recording I want you to listen to." "AGNES:" "Damn it, Tony, they just arrested Bruce." "Sooner or later, the cops are going to figure out" " who did this." " TONY:" "Calm down, Agnes." " Calm down?" "!" " They're never gonna connect this to us." "AGNES:" "They're going to find out we're together, that I had you kill my grandkids while you were taking your revenge on those two thugs." "Boy, your family has a bad habit of getting caught confessing on tape." "Don't you think?" "RUSSELL:" "I get Tony, revenge killing." "But you... you had him murder your own grandson, your own granddaughter." "How could you do that?" "To protect Bruce?" "You don't understand." "How could you?" "Bruce is my everything, my baby." "There is nothing I wouldn't do" " to protect him." " STOKES:" "And Grace..." "Steven, Molly... what about them?" "Bruce tried everything to bring the family back together." "My son is not perfect." "But Grace, that little bitch." "She tricked him." "And she was gonna tell everyone." "STOKES:" "Come on." "They were your own flesh and blood." "They didn't grow inside of me." "I didn't give them life, feed them from my own breast." "Judge me when you've lived that." "We don't have to live that to judge you." "We already know what you are." "What do you think?" "Good." "Thank you." "Mm-hmm." "My wife made a whole bunch." "For the flight." "I've never been to Virginia." "To my cousin's." "Oh, well, Virginia's very nice." "I think you'll like it." "I used to live there, for a while, when I was a kid." " Really?" " Mm-hmm." "I lived in a lot of places, actually." "Moved around a lot." "It can be scary, I know." "New places, new people." "But you're gonna make a lot of friends." "You still got that number I gave you?" "Good." "'Cause if you're ever feeling scared or sad, you know that I'm your friend, right?" "So we can talk." "I'd like that." "Me, too." "MARIA:" "Hey, Molly." "It's time to go." "Okay, sweetheart." "Let me help you with your jacket here." "You all set?" "Yeah." "Thank goodness." "You're gonna do great."
