"I saw your dad in the paper... stomped some girl and broke bones." "It was necessary force." "Bitch!" "Bonnie died, Mike." "What if Ray killed Sadie?" "I'm trying to protect my son!" "You believe my husband now?" "Lab tech says it could be salt poisoning." "Post-mortem blood - the numbers aren't reliable." "Dad?" "I wanna see you, tell you the truth." "He hurt her!" "He really hurt her!" "We're gonna have to exhume the body." "Where's my son?" "!" "'She had four brothers." "They all drowned.'" "I wanna know everything about you." "Everything." "Yeah, I think we're set up here." "OK?" "Let's just get this over with, yeah?" "OK." "OK." "Daddy hurt Mommy." "Yeah, you said that." "Tell me what you saw." "Dad hurt Mommy." "Were you in the kitchen with them?" "I told you, Daddy hurt Mom." "I know." "You did tell me that." "I wanna go inside now." "But I want you to tell me something." "Did you see something?" "Let's call a friend, OK?" "What's going on?" "Well, her husband broke in her house, beat her, and we arrested him." "You hooked up with her?" "No, no, we're friends." "She's been through something terrible, Sadie." "Looked more than friends." "Well, it's not." "She wants you to call her and rearrange the appointment." "I went to the farm last night." "With Ray Jr." "It's part of my therapy." "Your name's on the farmhouse." "Carved on a board." "Says "Mike Sweeney loves Lissie Alexie", except it was changed to "does Lissie Alexie", like you were some sort of porn king." "You lied!" "I didn't put it there, Sadie." "Oh, yeah?" "Who did?" "Kids do stuff." "Sadie, you know that - the way they hound you at school." "You think that they're your friends and they're not." "Yeah, and now she's missing." "Probably raped and dead." "You knew her, didn't you?" "Vaguely." "I mean, barely, Sadie." "It was a long time ago." "Look, whatever happened to Lissie Alexie, I had nothing to do with." "Swear on my grave." "Sadie, come on." "Swear it." "I swear, all right?" "I swear." "Come here." "I swear." "I don't understand this, Pen." "It's a specific kind of therapy." "She re-enacts the situation that precipitated the trauma." "I don't get it." "By what?" "By spending the night with Ray Jr?" "She shouldn't have done that." "I agree." "It's cause for concern." "Cause for concern?" "Pen, what exactly is she doing with him?" "Mike, the therapy works." "Look, she has to walk into that courtroom, which is an incredibly intimidating situation, and then she's gotta come face to face with the man who raped her." "By what?" "By sleeping with his son?" "I mean, what if that comes out in court?" "That's gonna work to your benefit." "Because it proves how damaged she is, it proves that Ray damaged her, and there's not a judge in the world that will let him get away with it." "I'm helping her." "You have to trust me." "OK, I gotta go." "I gotta go." "See you later." "I'm begging you." "I'm begging you, please do not take Bonnie's body out of the ground." "Look, a forensic autopsy is gonna lay the groundwork for a pattern of abuse." "We've got him." "I can't handle it." "I just want it to be done with." "All right, I won't..." "I won't exhume yet, all right?" "I'm not closing the door on it, Pen." "I'm gonna go after him." "Crown's looking into laying a charge of assault, Mr Verrity." "Also one of destruction of property." "One of uttering threats." "He said, she said." "In the meantime, we are detaining you." "He said, she said." "We're reopening the investigation into your daughter's drowning." "Good." "It's about time." "Which makes you a suspect in a possible homicide." "Think you're tough, don't you, Sade?" "Fuck off, Toombs!" "Where are we with the charges?" "I haven't heard back from the judge." "Should have hours ago." "If we got an eyewitness statement from Marcus, shouldn't be a problem." "The kid sounded like a broken record - "Daddy hurt Mommy"." "I'm not sure I believed it." "Have you seen the photos of what the Honourable Mr Verrity did to her?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I saw them." "They're bad." "What the fuck is your problem?" "Jonathan Verrity didn't have a scratch on him." "I mean, he slams her like that and not even a broken fingernail?" "And all that broken glass." "There was nothing." "No cuts, no shard of it on his clothes or his car." "Just saying." "Saying what - she did it to herself?" "I know her." "I don't see that." "You know her." "You can't see it." "Hi!" "I figured we should have a face-to-face." "Yeah." "So, how do I look?" "What do you think?" "See any grey hairs?" "You look fine, Mom." "Honey, I wish you'd come out here." "It's just..." "It was so hard for us being shut up in that place together." "Here it's a city." "Nobody knows." "Till they Google us." "Raymond, can we please not talk about your father?" "Your husband." "I met someone." "His name's Jim." "His owns a long-haul trucking company." "So, what about him?" "Well...he asked me to marry him." "You already said yes?" "Oh, Raymond, don't be like that." "He is a nice man." "He's got two boys, beautiful kids." "You could come out here." "We could be a family again." "And the business - Trucking?" "It's a fuel-based industry, Mom." "It's kind of a losing proposition." "I love you." "Raymond, are you still there?" "You want me to step back?" "Is that what this is?" "Not yet." "You're compromised, but that could work for us." "Bonnie Verrity's autopsy report." "The results confirm the cause of death was drowning." "They didn't do a detailed toxicology." "We exhume..." "Not yet." "Not yet." "We look for existing X-rays." "We look for hairline fractures, displacements... anything to show a pattern of abuse." "Who's the abuser?" "The problem is how to show that death was a consequence of the abuse." "You trust her?" "Absolutely." "There's the issue of her suicide attempt, but absolutely." "An overdose two days after the drowning." "She had four brothers, Tom." "They drowned." "25 years later, her daughter drowns." "That's enough to drive anybody crazy." "Crazy is a tricky thing, Mike." "Not Pen." "Not Pen." "What about Molly Crocker, the nanny?" "You do the interview with her?" "Not yet." "Jonathan Verrity shut us down." "I called her." "She's coming in." "So, which one?" "Husband, wife." "Or both." "My bet's on her." "Mikety-Mike!" "Haven't seen you since Ray's backyard do." "Nice to see you there, Ron." "You must've put on a ton of weight, buddy." "Have one." "So, I hear you took Ray on a fishing trip." "Got him off the murder charge." "It wasn't just me." "It was me, Steve, couple of guys saw us at the bar too." "If you wanna lay blame, put it on the flimsy little packet of evidence you tried to smoke the judge with." "You remember Lissie Alexie?" "Why are you asking?" "Thought I'd look her up." "Mr Tibbs!" "How are we, Mr Tibbs?" "Mike, the charge against Jonathan Verrity finally came down." "The guy's connected, huh?" "What are you doing this afternoon?" "I'm thinking of going to the old farm, taking a look around." "OK, sure." "I'll go." "Later." "Oh, wait, wait!" "Vernon, hey, hey, that's right." "Can you ask your dad about Lissie Alexie?" "Ask what - if he killed her?" "I haven't even seen my dad." "These are the questions." "Sadie, he'll lie." "You know him." "No." "Not if you ask like a cop asks." "See, you have to get specific." "These are the names of the guys." "I got them off the wall." "Find out their last names." "Same with the girls." "Look for contradictions in what he tells you - who was where when." "Look at his body language." "He won't look at you if he's lying." "My mom's getting married again." "Well, maybe she's pregnant." "Shit, Sadie, what's your problem?" "Go see him, OK?" "Please." "Is there a Dr Alexie who works here?" "She's just down the hall." "Nurses station." "Sure there were rapes, gang bangs." "I know that, you know that." "Who was involved?" "Ron, probably, likely." "There were all sorts of guys." "Not you?" "No, I did OK." "Didn't have to rape anybody." "All the shit's why I became a cop." "You too, I bet." "Not one of 'em came forward." "He must've traumatised them all." "Why they came here to begin with." "His charisma." "He was a hockey star." "You fell for it." "So did I." "Remember his mother?" "She was crazy, huh?" "No wonder he camped out here." "I mean, what's that do to a guy?" "Yeah." "I felt sorry for him, you know?" "He lived like an animal." "You, uh...you think Ray's got anything on Ron Toombs?" "Possible." "I don't know." "You've seen those guys since you've been back, right?" "Yeah." "Once or twice for a beer." "Been looking for a better class of friend." "Hard to come by." "Yeah, well, we should probably get together for a beer one of these days." "Bachelors, huh?" "You know what?" "I could use a laugh, catch some hockey." "You remember Lissie Alexie?" "I remember she had it for you." "Yeah, she did." "He'll make bail." "There'll be a restraining order so you don't need to worry." "He gets the house back tomorrow." "I've been evicted." "You'll stay at the motel." "I got you a room." "Maybe I shouldn't." "Sadie's gonna figure it out." "I want you to." "You'll feel safer." "Sadie needs you to." "We'll be right there." "So, with Bonnie, were there any emergency room visits?" "Her knee." "Jonathan said she fell down the stairs." "When was that?" "It was just before the accident." "He took her to Glen Eden, the ER." "I can't imagine Jonathan hurting her." "Look what he did to you." "This has gone too far." "I want it to stop now." "Pen, we can't stop it." "I'll go to ER and I will check for her records." "If you think of anything else..." "The cemetery can do the exhumation today." "Bonnie's?" "!" "I told you, I told you, I don't want her body exhumed!" "What the hell was that?" "I said X-rays." "Paediatrician destroyed the records." "You call the cemetery and you put it off." "For what?" "Out of respect for the mother." "Oh, my God." "Oh!" "Pen." "Why not?" "We do it, it's over." "Jonathan - we'll get him or we'll scare him." "Either way, I'm with you." "OK?" "I didn't touch her." "She did that to herself." "She has a history of self abuse." "I've seen her do it." "Bullshit." "It's in the psych evaluation." "The one your consultant did for you so you could get custody of your son?" "You've been charged." "There's no basis for a charge." "Your son's eyewitness statement." "He saw you assault your wife." "Mark wasn't even in the room." "He was sleeping." "He saw you hurt his mother." "Those were his words." "My son almost drowned in his mother's care." "There's nothing suspicious about that incident." "Nothing." "She's gonna kill him." "So, explain to me why she didn't wanna pursue this and he does?" "She's grieving." "He wants to exhume." "He doesn't give a shit if he's a murder suspect." "He's a lawyer." "He knows what a long shot it is for us to prove anything." "He hires his own consultant." "The two of them get custody of his son." "Yes, but what if he's right?" "He's manipulating us." "He's got no feelings." "He's a psychopath." "He's just like Ray Prager." "Where are all these rumours going around?" "That I slept with ten guys, I'm a nymphomaniac." "I like rough sex." "I get slammed all the time." "Look." "Have you said anything to your teachers about that?" "No." "That would just make it worse." "Fuck 'em." "I hang out with Ray Jr most of the time, so that's OK." "You went out to the farm with him, right?" "How did that go?" "It was great." "We made love." "Now it's no longer the place of..." "Well, the place it was." "So, you made a good memory there." "Yeah, and I stayed all night." "Didn't freak out." "Go on." "Well, I told my dad I saw his name carved into the board." "He said he didn't put it there." "But you don't believe him." "Should I?" "He had an affair when my mother was dying." "It was like she didn't count." "Just like that girl Ray killed." "Guess she didn't count either." "What about me?" "My testimony doesn't count." "Even though Ray told me he killed her." "Told me." "You know, doesn't it count cos it's coming from me?" "You need to separate the facts from the feelings, Sadie." "Well, you got beat up." "What are the facts there?" "We're not here to talk about me." "Are you fucking my dad?" "No." "I'm sorry." "It's OK." "Everything's gonna be OK, Sadie." "I promise you." "Yeah." "She's combative, angry, but at least she's talking, you know?" "She say anything about Ray Jr?" "Mike, I can't tell you and you can't ask me that." "You know that." "Mark, sweetie, are you ready to go?" "Mike's found us a really nice place to stay." "But Daddy said I could stay here." "You don't wanna stay here, Mark." "Yes, I do." "Daddy said I could." "It's OK, honey." "You can come back any time..." "It's all right." "I can wait." "We'll all go together." "No, it's OK." "It'll be a while." "Just tell him I'm a great soccer player." "We'll kick the ball around." "That's the list of all the people that worked for us last year." "Molly Crocker, the nanny." "What about her?" "Oh, you should know that Molly Crocker would do or say just about anything for Jonathan." "Jonathan was a great father." "He had endless patience and kindness where Bonnie was concerned." "Dr Verrity was..." "I don't like to say this." "Go ahead." "It's my own impression Dr Verrity didn't like her daughter." "Like Bonnie didn't measure up." "Did she ever hurt her daughter?" "No, never." "It was more the way she looked at her - contempt." "Were you there the day Bonnie fell down the stairs?" "Yes, I was there." "And Jonathan was at the top or the bottom of the stairs?" "You're not insinuating he pushed her?" "No, no, not at all." "She fell because she was sleepy." "Sleepy." "I think she was sick." "She kept asking for water." "Earlier that day," "I found her licking condensation off the fish tank." "Where were you when she fell down the stairs?" "I was upstairs." "What were you doing - getting dressed?" "You were having an affair with Jonathan Verrity." "Yes." "So, you were where?" "In the bedroom." "You didn't see what happened at all, did you?" "No, I didn't." "Well, I know I would've appreciated a visit to my hospital bed." "How are you?" "Mmm." "Fantastic." "See for yourself!" "People are telling you things." "Uh..." "I'm trying to stay out of jail." "Get myself a place in a cushy hospital..." "Hey." "You see your mother?" "You talk to her?" "She tell you she's getting married?" "Yeah." "Yeah, she sent the divorce papers." "I signed them, no questions." "Oh, goddamn." "She left us both." "Raymond, shit, I'm not a monster." "Give me your hand." "Raymond, there's one thing I know about you." "I know you're the only one who's ever loved me." "That love gives me strength every time I see what I am." "My boy, my son." "What did he say?" "Didn't ask him." "What?" "Why not?" "Why are we here?" "!" "Jesus Christ, you should see him." "He's like Freddy Krueger." "He's melted." "Oh, poor daddy!" "What?" "Oh, daddy!" "Poor daddy!" "Shut up, Sadie!" "Go to hell!" "Look, I came here for you!" "I did it for you!" "Audrey?" "Audrey, just a sec." "The photo's all over the school." "I'll talk to her." "I said I'll talk..." "I'll talk to her." "All right?" "The tox screen you had for Bonnie Verrity." "What was the number for saline?" "170-something." "Then it was high." "But they're not reliable numbers, remember?" "Post-mortem blood." "What?" "What you got?" "Bonnie Verrity's ER record." "Blood's not post-mortem." "The saline number I've got is 207." "It qualifies." "That's poisoning." "Jesus." "That hospital test was a urine sodium, not a blood sodium." "Meaning?" "It's even more incriminating." "Bonnie Verrity was very, very sick." "Salt poisoning?" "That's what we're looking at?" "Can't feed a kid salt." "No, you have to..." "No, it's gotta be intravenous." "Needle or a drip." "The cases of salt poisoning that I know of were mothers who injected a saline solution into the IVs when the children were already hospitalised." "We gotta exhume the body, make sure." "Yes." "We do a complete autopsy this time." "Exclude any other cause, look for saline concentrations in other organs." "What symptoms are we looking at?" "Drowsiness, depressed mood, extreme thirst." "Molly saw Bonnie lick the condensation off the fish tank." "Yeah." "Given the necessity for intravenous administration, the likely suspect is Pen Verrity." "Come on, Mike." "She's a good person." "She...not a murderer." "I just..." "I can't..." "I don't believe it." "I don't believe it." "Sure." "I had affairs." "If Pen knew, and she did, she pretended not to notice." "What if she had noticed?" "She would go or stay, I suppose." "That would be her decision." "So, just before Bonnie drowned, you told Pen you wanted a divorce?" "You were there when Bonnie's body was discovered?" "Yes, just." "I'd been away the week before." "So, Pen was alone." "Yes." "After the drowning, she attempted suicide?" "That's when I decided to stay with her." "Oh, that's good of you." "She thought that she could change my mind." "She thought that I'd come back." "And then the accident with Mark." "You look at that and you put it together..." "Thank you, Mr Verrity." "Thank you." "Anything to help." "Sgt Sweeney." "It adds up pretty clean." "I just we, uh..." "We should cool it, just while you're here, cos of Sadie." "OK." "Was the move OK?" "Did you get everything in?" "Mm-hm." "OK." "It's just..." "You know, it's pretty painful." "But I'm sure it was the same for you, right?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Right." "Night." "'Hi, Mike." "It's me." "I just wanted to let you know that Sadie called." "She's fine." "She said the teasing at school's been going on for weeks." "Said it doesn't bother her.'" "Can we talk about what's happening at school?" "No." "Oh, hey." "Hey." "How'd it go with Sadie?" "Didn't talk much." "Well, she's just projecting." "Don't take it personally." "I'm seeing her this afternoon." "No, she can't make that." "She's got some school thing." "We got six to review." "We're just waiting on Tom and Glen." "Morning." "Good morning." "Dr Verrity." "Your daughter's body's being exhumed this morning, in case you want to go." "I got Bonnie's record from the ER." "Did you know she was sick?" "She had a fever." "Did you take her to a doctor?" "I am a doctor, Tom." "She was dehydrated." "I had her on an IV." "What is this?" "We just need the information for the files, that's all." "What did Jonathan say to you?" "It's like Mike said." "We just need the information for the files." "OK." "You want your information?" "I'll give you your fucking information." "Was Bonnie sick?" "Yes, she was." "Was I treating her?" "Yes, I was." "Is it my fault that she drowned?" "Yes, it is." "And I have to live with that every single day." "You wanna add murder to that now?" "Sorry I'm late." "Traffic." "Hey." "Well, Pen never hid the fact that she had Bonnie on an IV." "I mean, anybody could've come along..." "Except nobody did." "Jonathan was away." "Jonathan said he was away." "Molly Crocker confirmed that." "Molly was there." "OK." "I'll talk to her." "Yeah, I'm looking for a missing persons file." "Elizabeth Alexie." "Yep, badge number is 67235." "Detective Sergeant Sweeney." "Oh, I'm the temp." "Yeah, very nice guy." "The file's missing?" "So, there's no other record?" "Well, does that mean there's no other way to get that report?" "Thanks." "Fucking Ron Toombs beat up anybody else today?" "Gentlemen here told me you've been soliciting him." "Yeah, they wish." "Evidence is pretty convincing." "What are you talking about?" "They're assholes!" "Yeah, yeah." "Let's go." "What?" "!" "You call my dad!" "OK?" "!" "You call my dad right now!" "Come to gloat?" "I tried knocking." "He ditched us both." "He was married to me, Molly." "You were just the piece on the side." "Do we have a drink?" "What do you want?" "Whatever Jonathan would have." "Jonathan always drank whiskey with me." "Guess you're gonna miss your house, huh?" "You know, I talked to the police." "Told them you were the Wicked Witch." "I feel sorry for you, though." "Stuck with the kid." "I mean, who wants a woman saddled with a kid?" "It's not very sexy, is it?" "Oof!" "Boys told us Miss Sweeney been soliciting them for money." "Straight sex, oral sex." "We opened up her locker at school and found condoms, her wallet with over $300, porno..." "Yeah, you got the names of these boys?" "Yes, sir." "Give them to me." "Come on." "Jesus Christ!" "Look, I don't make a deal out of this, sergeant." "Cop's kid and all." "I'm not gonna charge." "You're a bully and a coward, you know that Tibbs?" "Get the fuck out of my face!" "While you got the chance, get out of my face." "You were set up, all right?" "Paul Toombs and Dan Merrick, their fathers are all friends of Ray's." "Sadie, they're trying to get to you." "Sadie, did Ray rape you?" "No!" "Do you believe me?" "Yeah." "Oh, yeah, are you sure?" "!" "Because you haven't!" "You keep asking and asking if he raped me, if he touched me, if he assaulted me!" "No, he didn't!" "No, no, and no!" "You wanna know what's true?" "That gun, I had it in my hand, and all I wanted to do was blow his fucking head off." "Watch it burst open." "And I still want to!" "Come here." "Who do you wanna be with, Mark?" "Huh?" "Your mommy or your daddy?" "Look, I've got a bath running for you upstairs." "I want you to get in and just put your head under, and just..." "I don't want any nonsense of you today." "Do you understand?" "Mommy." "Who do you love more - Mommy or Daddy?" "You're bleeding on your neck." "'Audrey, I can't take Maddie tonight." "I need to spend time with Sadie.'" "What?" "No!" "You can't do that." "I have to." "You're gonna have to live with it." "Maddie is waiting for you!" "All right, tell her that I will make it up to her." "OK." "OK?" "Jesus!" "He's not coming?" "Mads." "I have a really beautiful French dinner here." "Campbell's gonna drop by, and we'll have a really nice time, just the three of us." "That's a gougere." "Here you go, and don't tell your mother." "Oh, she doesn't give a shit." "Hey, what's that mean?" "She's getting married to some guy she doesn't even know, and I'm supposed to just fit in." "She's got a whole new goddamn family." "Well, you can move in with me, if you want." "I promise I'm not anything like your dad." "I saw him." "How was it?" "He was just bitching about my grandpa." "Did you ever know my grandmother?" "He never talked about her ever." "What happened to her?" "Are you sure you wanna know this, Raymond, cos..." "She hung herself." "In the basement." "It was me and Mike Sweeney found her." "Ray comes in." "He lets out this cry." "He's on the ground." "Mike and me, we don't know what to goddamn do." "He gets up... ..and punches, punches, punches her, like he's in a goddamn ring with her." "That's what happened to him." "Yeah." "Is that your father?" "Yes." "He's out there waiting for you and he thinks I don't know it." "Come here." "Don't ever forget how much I love you." "OK?" "You go tell your daddy..." "You go tell your daddy how much I love both of you, OK?" "Take care." "Go." "Paul Toombs, Dan Merrick - son and nephew." "Vernon Tibbs, that patrol officer that hassled you." "They're all part of Ray's group." "They set me up because I'm a key witness against Ray." "That's what I think." "Do you think Ray killed Lissie?" "Cos if Lissie was murdered, she would've been Ray's first kill, right?" "And if that's the case and you can prove that, you've just blown his psych defence out of the water." "First kill, he's of age." "That makes him a dangerous offender." "I should give you a detective's badge right now." "Those girls in the woods, one of them looked just like Traci when she was 15." "A little blonde princess playing hard to get." "I'm looking at her and I'm thinking... ..you ever give anything to anyone without having them beg?" "Ever give?" "I hated her." "Her shrunk little soul, her bullshit love." "And I felt all this hate flowing through me." "Flowing through me like light." "And when he hit her with that rock... ..I felt like I was set free." "My mother - to hell with her." "To hell with your mother too." "I'm sorry that happened to you." "You're a little priest, Raymond." "A regular St Francis." "I have to go." "You tell Sadie to call me." "She deserve to know the truth about her father." "Same as you." "I got out of the shower and he was just gone." "Jonathan took him." "How long?" "I don't know - 10, 15 minutes." "Can you find him, please?" "We'll find him." "We need a photo." "Oh, can you help me find it." "Sadie, I'll be right back." "Well, shall we have another animal documentary, Mads?" "OK." "So, what'll it be this time - lions licking each other?" "Porcupines porking?" "Ferrets f..." "Madison, time for bed now." "In a minute." "What are you doing here?" "Does Dad know you're here?" "I'm gonna go." "What?" "!" "No, no, stay." "It's just the family circus." "I know it's crazy." "Yeah." "When it calms down, I'd like you to call me." "If you still want to." "Of course I want to." "You still feel married." "I just..." "I wanted to say that it's great, you and Jim." "And I wanna come to the wedding, meet everybody." "And I love you." "I love you too, sweets." "So, she's with you?" "Well, why?" "Did she say?" "No, I don't know what's wrong." "She's at Audrey's." "I don't know what's going on." "I didn't hurt Bonnie." "I swear it." "I know you think I did, but I didn't." "I swear." "I don't." "I don't think that." "I never thought that." "Never did." "'Ms Crocker, it's Detective Bykovski." "I tried reaching you a couple of times." "You're not answering.'"
