"I'm gonna give you some advice." "And this is off the record." "Get yourself a private defense attorney." "That costs money." "I don't have that kind of money." "He's your son." "Get it." " Nancy:" "Did you know Barb bought a gun?" " Russ:" "No." "When the man who killed my daughter got that joke of a sentence, I bought a gun." "It was so easy to put the gun under my chin." "Our lives weren't always this bad." "Maybe you should remind her." " What?" " Russ:" "I found some photos at Matt's house" "I want to show you." "And whatever good things the boys had, they had because of you." "The prosecution has to prove that it's likely your brother did what he's been accused of." "Now, they do have Mr. Tontz's testimony." " They have the gun now." " Aliyah:" "Not Carter's gun." "They can't put a gun in his hand." "Quinn:" "The statement of Aubry Taylor." "This is the gun used to kill Matt Skokie." "When Carter came back to the car, did he have his gun?" "Yeah, sure." ""Yeah, sure" or "yes"?" "Aubry:" "That's the gun." "But Carter didn't use it." "I used it." "I shot Matt." "I shot his wife." "[Keys jingle]" "Up, Tontz." "What the hell?" "Up!" "Let's go." "[Sighs]" "[Breathes deeply]" "This was the vehicle that was lent to you by Tony Gutlérrez." "Yeah." "A '73 Grand Prix." "I mean, I don't know what kind it was." "Look at the photo." "Was this the car?" "Do we got to do this now?" "Yeah." "That..." "That's the car." "You stated you drove Carter to..." "Slauson Minimart." "Nix went off on foot." "He returned." "He had this gun in hand." "Yeah." "That..." "That's it." "This gun... .45 automatic." "Yeah." "That's the gun." "He turned over to you this wallet, these credit cards." "You recognize them?" "Those are them." "Comes back, I drive him a couple blocks," "I put him out of the car." "Meth head with a gun, I didn't want to be anywhere around him." "Is this the same gun Mr. Nix had that night?" " Yeah." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." " You're sure?" "Y-yeah, I'm sure!" "[Sighs]" "We have an issue." "This wasn't the gun that was used to kill Matt Skokie." "This also is not the gun that was in" "Carter Nix's possession when he was arrested." "Do you understand what the problem is, Hector?" "I mean, um, it looked like the gun." "No, it didn't." "You're giving testimony about a gun that has nothing to do with the crime." "I mean, h-hold it." "L-l-let me see it again." "The fact that you lied about this..." "Now... n-n-now hol..." "Hold up." "Everything else that you said is inadmissible." "I mean, I-I-it looked like that, all right?" "I-I..." "I mean, you're coming up here in the middle of the night." " Come on." " The deal is off." " No, no, no, no, no." " The charges against you in Sinaloa are being reinstated." "No, no, y-you signed the papers." " You are going back to Mexico." " You can't... you can't..." "No, you can't go back on that!" "Palmer." "[Beep]" "Palmer!" "[Door opens]" "Palmer!" "[Door closes]" "Palmer!" "You think Carter cares about what you just did to yourself?" "We're not gonna let you throw your life away." "We're getting you another lawyer, somebody who knows what the hell they're doing this time, somebody who can..." "Aubry, do not shut me out." "We're going to get you someone who..." "Aubry." "Aubry!" "[Indistinct talking over P.A.]" "[Door closes]" "I'm not taking his lawyer." "I'll take a public defender." "This is all pointless." "Then you really shouldn't have gotten involved." "You really should have left everything alone." " A-and you're just going to..." " Just stayed in Milwaukee." "Nobody wanted you here." "You're going to hurt a lot of people trying to get back at me." "It's always got to be about you." "[Sighs]" "You were 11 years old when I realized that, one day, you were either going to be dead or in jail." "I'll make it through this because I was ready for it a long time ago."

"Rick:" "It is the goal of our office to be as inclusive as possible with the families of victims throughout the process." " But go back to the..." " At the same time, there is always information that has to remain confidential for the sake of the trial, even as the situation changes." "And what's changed?" "Again, I can't speak specifically about..." "W-well, then what the hell?" " Let him speak, Russ." " Y-you bring us in here..." "I'd love for him to tell us something." "In the next few days, it's likely there will be fresh allegations against your son." "About what?" "I'd like to be prepared." " Dealing drugs..." " That lie..." "That has been..." "Attempted rape, domestic violence." "Who's saying this?" "Aubry Taylor's confessed to the murder and assault on Gwen." "W-why would you believe any of that crap?" "We have a duty to vet her story." "She does know things about the crime" " only the perpetrator would know." " Yeah, of course she knows." "She was with the son of a bitch who killed our son." "That's what we're trying to determine." "All these months, everything wasted." "Thank you." ""Thank you"?" "What are you..." "What are you thanking him for?" "[Door open, closes] [Clears throat]" "What are you doing?" "Do you have any idea what you're putting her through?" " Mr. Skokie, we're doing you the courtesy of sitting down..." " Oh, "the courtesy"!" "With you and Ms. Hanlon." "You're telling me my son's a rapist and he beats women." "No one has ever been straight with us." "The lawyer we had before you, it was like he wasn't even on our side." "Look [Sighs] there is a system." "You hired me to help you, and I think I can help you." "Will I get to go home?" "[Sighs]" "That's what we're working toward." "Okay, couple things." "I moved the case to family court." "Judges are traditionally more lenient." "Their primary goal is to reunite minors with their families." "When you're in front of the judge, you're gonna have to allocute." "Do you know what that means?" "You're gonna have to give a full explanation of these new charges, what happened when you assaulted this other young man." "No." "Your son really needs to start taking this seriously." "You need to drop this hard act and listen." "I'm not trying to be hard." "They have you on video beating someone." "If you won't give cause and show remorse, then it makes everything else we have to do more difficult." "I'll say I'm sorry for what did, that it's my fault." "That's showing remorse, right?" "Then I don't have to say nothing else." "Character witnesses..." "We need some people to speak on Tony's behalf." "Uh, the people in the community, they..." "They don't look at my family too good right now." "All these things the judge takes into consideration..." "Character, stability." "The fact that you've owned your business for 20 years is a major plus." "I sold my shop." "Why?" "!" "I'm trying to get you home." "There's a level of urgency right now." "This entire case is diseased." "People want it resolved quickly." " Do you understand?" " Yes." "The judge is looking for a reason to put Tony back in your hands." "You need to give him one." "Okay." "Okay." "Carter's girlfriend is the one who confessed to the crime." "I mean, that... that bitch lies." "Don't they got her lying on other stuff?" "She also looks good for the crime." "They have her trying to slash some guy's throat, and they have a video from a liquor store near where they found the gun." "Yeah, I mean, t-that don't mean she did it." "I mean..." "I mean, talk to somebody." "I've reached out to the prosecutors..." "I mean, well, reach out again!" "They're not interested in anything we have to say." "Your credibility is blown." "You shouldn't have lied." "I didn't lie." "Hector... [Sighs]" "L-l-l-look, I mean..." "I mean," "I told him the same story every time, from the jump, word for word..." "That got to count for something." "Did you lie about the gun?" "I..." "They... they come up here in the middle of the night, and I'm half-asleep, and they want me to look at some pictures." "W-w-when they gonna send me back?" "They want you out of here right away." "I've got no avenues." " No, l-look, i-if they send me back to Mexico..." " I can't put it before a judge." " They're putting..." "They're putting me in a hole!" " I cannot appeal anything." "All right." "You see, I got..." "I got a little girl, and..." "I mean, she's still here with her mom, and... and... and, I mean, they..." "They won't even let me call her." "I'm sorry." "[Sighs] Don't give me no "sorry."" "Just... just give me some help." "[Sighs]" "Let me have her number." "I'll do what I can." "[Pen clicks]" "Sanchez:" "At this point, a formal arrest of Aubry Taylor hasn't been made." "Technically, your brother is still facing charges." " The girl confessed." " That's a confession we still..." "She confessed." "Carter needs to be released." "He's still facing various charges." "Transmitting stolen property, assault..." "Of a drug dealer who tried to kill him?" "You really want to pursue that?" "When you wrongly accused my brother of murder, you let his girlfriend go." "Now she's confessed, but you keep him locked up." "Where's your boss?" "Where's Soderbergh?" "I don't like being dumped off on the "B" team." "The deputy D.A. is overseeing every aspect of this case." "[Sighs]" "He can't even look us in the eye." "He had to get you to do it?" "We want my brother fully exonerated." "We want him released right now." "You understand there's going to be civil action against this office." "If a mistake's been made, it will be corrected." "But a murder was committed, and someone will be punished." "You have a confession." "From here on, Carter is being falsely imprisoned." "[Door opens]" "Quinn:" "Aubry Taylor, you're under arrest for the suspicion of murder." "You have the right to remain silent." "Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

"You can meet us at the Modesto police department." "So, what happened?" "What happened this time?" "!" "They said I was lying." "They said you were lying, or you were lying?" "And all that crap about getting a technology job and going to live in the mountains and..." "And I-I-I-I..." "I want that." "So why don't you get it?" "!" "Why don't you do what you got to do?" "You hustle." "You cheat." "You lie." "N-no, no." "All I did..." "[Sighs]" "You see..." "You see, um..." "The cops kept asking about the gun." ""What about the gun?" "Did he have a gun?" "Just put a gun in his hand, and we'll do you a solid."" "So I did how they said." "How's that worse than anybody else?" "They all been lying, all of them." "But you're the one they're sending away!" "[Sighs]" "How long until they deport you?" "They're gonna do it now." "They... they... they want to be done with me." "[Sighs] You'll be there before me." "See, uh, I-I need you to tell Adela that..." " No." " No, dd-d-d-don't do this to me." "What are you doing to her?" "She doesn't even know you, but you want me to tell her you said goodbye?" "[Scoffs]" "Aren't you tired of it?" "'Cause I'm tired." "[Voice breaking] You know what's messed up?" "It's that if there weren't these guards here," "I'd reach over, and I'd..." "I'd hug you."

"Well, that's all I would need you to talk about, that he, uh... that he always tried hard, that, uh, he has a good home life." "But, I-I..." "I don't mean to tell you what to say." "Just, uh..." "Just... talk about what a good kid he is, and that he has a good family." "I-I feel like I'm doing all the talking." "Look, I'm really, really sorry about what you're going through."
