1
00:00:07,355 --> 00:00:10,662
Woman: And five,
six, seven, eight.

2
00:00:10,749 --> 00:00:13,578
One, two, three, four,

3
00:00:13,665 --> 00:00:16,668
five, six, seven, eight.

4
00:00:16,755 --> 00:00:17,930
How did your mom die?

5
00:00:19,019 --> 00:00:20,368
Your mom mom,
I mean.

6
00:00:21,325 --> 00:00:22,413
Brain aneurysm.

7
00:00:33,381 --> 00:00:34,860
Do you remember her?

8
00:00:37,341 --> 00:00:39,865
Martha: <i>
No, I was only two</i> <i>
when she died.</i>

9
00:00:42,999 --> 00:00:47,003
<i>Sometimes I remember things,</i> <i>
but I realize it's just stuff</i>

10
00:00:47,090 --> 00:00:50,093
<i>people have told me</i> <i>
or stuff in pictures.</i>

11
00:00:51,616 --> 00:00:54,750
<i>Then Kathleen became</i> <i>
my mom.</i>

12
00:00:54,837 --> 00:00:56,708
<i>I mean, first,</i> <i>
it was Patty in Germany.</i>

13
00:00:56,795 --> 00:00:58,058
<i>But...</i>

14
00:01:00,712 --> 00:01:02,236
<i>really, it was Kathleen.</i>

15
00:01:04,629 --> 00:01:05,891
She took care of us.

16
00:01:18,121 --> 00:01:20,297
Stay here after finals.

17
00:01:20,384 --> 00:01:23,387
You know I have to go home.

18
00:01:23,474 --> 00:01:26,390
Why do you have to?

19
00:01:26,477 --> 00:01:29,915
The trial's not
for a while still.

20
00:01:30,002 --> 00:01:35,486
Because it might be
the last normal-ish summer

21
00:01:35,573 --> 00:01:36,879
with my family.

22
00:01:37,793 --> 00:01:39,621
Okay.

23
00:01:39,708 --> 00:01:41,101
I'll come visit then.

24
00:01:42,798 --> 00:01:44,930
It'll get weird.

25
00:01:45,017 --> 00:01:46,932
I'm not ready for that.

26
00:01:58,074 --> 00:02:00,511
If I go...

27
00:02:00,598 --> 00:02:02,426
it doesn't have to be
like a coming out party.

28
00:02:02,513 --> 00:02:04,733
We can also pretend
we're just friends.

29
00:02:10,695 --> 00:02:12,784
Promise me
you'll at least call.

30
00:02:12,871 --> 00:02:14,351
Yeah, of course.

31
00:04:21,130 --> 00:04:23,263
The blow poke.

32
00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:25,787
What is it exactly?

33
00:04:25,874 --> 00:04:28,180
Oh, it's a fireplace tool.

34
00:04:30,574 --> 00:04:33,751
<i>Something between a poker</i> <i>
and a bellows.</i>

35
00:04:38,321 --> 00:04:40,932
Nice ride.

36
00:04:41,019 --> 00:04:42,847
Jim Hardin: <i>
Kathleen's sister</i> <i>
had given one</i>

37
00:04:42,934 --> 00:04:45,589
<i>to each of her siblings</i> <i>
one Christmas years ago.</i>

38
00:04:47,025 --> 00:04:48,592
<i>And after we had done</i>

39
00:04:48,679 --> 00:04:50,638
<i>our initial search</i> <i>
of the house,</i>

40
00:04:50,725 --> 00:04:53,075
<i>taken measurements,</i> <i>
photographs,</i>

41
00:04:53,162 --> 00:04:55,120
<i>she noticed from looking</i> <i>
at those pictures</i>

42
00:04:55,207 --> 00:04:58,776
<i>that it was missing</i> <i>
from the Peterson fireplace.</i>

43
00:04:58,863 --> 00:05:03,433
Now, we don't believe
it was randomly misplaced.

44
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,522
Is there a chance
you experts conclude

45
00:05:05,609 --> 00:05:07,350
she actually died from a fall?

46
00:05:07,437 --> 00:05:09,831
Now, a lot of people
smarter than me

47
00:05:09,918 --> 00:05:11,615
have said from day one

48
00:05:11,702 --> 00:05:13,965
that it could only be
one thing, a beating.

49
00:05:14,052 --> 00:05:15,445
Todd: <i>
Where could it be?</i>

50
00:05:15,532 --> 00:05:17,360
Wherever Kathleen
hid the thing.

51
00:05:17,447 --> 00:05:19,188
I don't even remember
Candace giving it to her.

52
00:05:19,275 --> 00:05:20,755
Why would you?

53
00:05:20,842 --> 00:05:22,452
Who the fuck
gives fireplace tools

54
00:05:22,539 --> 00:05:23,932
as a Christmas gift?

55
00:05:24,019 --> 00:05:26,369
Let alone
one fireplace tool.

56
00:05:26,456 --> 00:05:27,979
They're kind of handy.

57
00:05:29,938 --> 00:05:31,809
Michael Peterson:
I swear to God,
that stupid thing

58
00:05:31,896 --> 00:05:33,333
is in there somewhere,

59
00:05:33,420 --> 00:05:34,986
and it ain't covered in blood.

60
00:05:42,516 --> 00:05:44,344
How much
to get rid of 'em?

61
00:05:44,431 --> 00:05:48,173
Well, first of all,
you can't just get rid of 'em.

62
00:05:48,260 --> 00:05:50,262
Bats are special that way.

63
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:52,090
You gotta relocate 'em.

64
00:05:52,177 --> 00:05:53,440
It's not cheap.

65
00:05:55,442 --> 00:05:57,269
Let me go over a couple
of things with my husband

66
00:05:57,357 --> 00:05:59,097
and, um, give us a few days.

67
00:05:59,184 --> 00:06:01,665
Yeah, the longer you wait,
the worse it's going to get.

68
00:06:01,752 --> 00:06:03,928
At least they're not
in the plumbing.

69
00:06:05,582 --> 00:06:08,324
Then you're really,
you're fucked.

70
00:06:08,411 --> 00:06:10,587
The boys are fucking us.
Both of them need money.

71
00:06:10,674 --> 00:06:12,546
Clayton's gotten fucked
by the market.

72
00:06:12,633 --> 00:06:15,331
And Todd's got
this website thing.

73
00:06:15,418 --> 00:06:17,594
Patty:
What website thing?

74
00:06:17,681 --> 00:06:19,030
Michael: <i>
Well, I don't know</i> <i>
what it is.</i>

75
00:06:19,117 --> 00:06:20,118
With Clayton's qualifications,

76
00:06:20,205 --> 00:06:22,294
he could get a job easily.

77
00:06:22,382 --> 00:06:24,035
Michael: <i>
He needs to focus</i> <i>
on school right now.</i>

78
00:06:24,122 --> 00:06:25,515
No! Do it again, I dare you.

79
00:06:26,647 --> 00:06:28,344
Mike?

80
00:06:28,431 --> 00:06:31,826
Dog's chewing up
the damn furniture again.

81
00:06:31,913 --> 00:06:34,045
The boys are going to need
your help again, Patty.

82
00:06:34,132 --> 00:06:36,961
Oh dear. I don't know
if now is the ideal moment.

83
00:06:37,048 --> 00:06:40,574
Michael: <i>
Well, can you refinance</i> <i>
the house again?</i>

84
00:06:40,661 --> 00:06:42,358
- The exterminator's done.
- Patty: <i>No, not again.</i>

85
00:06:42,445 --> 00:06:44,969
The banks in Germany frown
on that type of business.

86
00:06:45,056 --> 00:06:46,580
It's not good.

87
00:06:46,667 --> 00:06:48,320
- It's Patty.
- Patty: <i>Mike?</i>

88
00:06:48,408 --> 00:06:49,974
Well, things are
really bad at Nortel.

89
00:06:50,061 --> 00:06:51,889
I can't ask Kathleen
for more help.

90
00:06:54,718 --> 00:06:57,068
I understand,
but I really cannot.

91
00:06:59,506 --> 00:07:01,290
Caitlin: <i>
So whatever we do to Mike,</i>

92
00:07:01,377 --> 00:07:03,205
it affects them.

93
00:07:03,292 --> 00:07:04,815
Fred Atwater: <i>
Please stop worrying</i>

94
00:07:04,902 --> 00:07:06,861
<i>about Martha</i> <i>
and Margaret, Cay.</i>

95
00:07:06,948 --> 00:07:08,863
<i>They're the ones who decided</i> <i>
to support a killer.</i>

96
00:07:08,950 --> 00:07:10,995
But they didn't really have
much of a choice.

97
00:07:11,082 --> 00:07:12,693
Jay Trehy:

98
00:07:12,780 --> 00:07:14,434
<i>I get it's a lot to process</i>

99
00:07:14,521 --> 00:07:16,392
<i>but as your lawyer,</i>

100
00:07:16,479 --> 00:07:18,481
<i>until you give me</i> <i>
the go-ahead to strike,</i>

101
00:07:18,568 --> 00:07:20,178
<i>Michael's going to keep</i> <i>
getting your mother's money</i>

102
00:07:20,265 --> 00:07:22,137
<i>- to pay for his defense.</i>
- Fred: <i>Yes.</i>

103
00:07:22,224 --> 00:07:23,704
Jay: <i>
But I can get them</i> <i>
to delay payment</i>

104
00:07:23,791 --> 00:07:25,488
<i>until we get allocation</i> <i>
sorted out.</i>

105
00:07:25,575 --> 00:07:27,534
Fred: <i>Exactly.</i>

106
00:07:27,621 --> 00:07:29,231
<i>I think it's time, Caitlin,</i> <i>
but it's up to you.</i>

107
00:07:29,318 --> 00:07:31,538
<i>I can't make</i> <i>
this decision for you.</i>

108
00:07:31,625 --> 00:07:34,802
I don't really want to deal
with this right now.

109
00:07:34,889 --> 00:07:36,499
I'll be in Durham
for the summer.

110
00:07:36,586 --> 00:07:38,501
Maybe we can talk about it then.

111
00:07:38,588 --> 00:07:40,764
These were all
on Peterson's computer.

112
00:07:40,851 --> 00:07:42,853
Can you confirm
these are photos of you?

113
00:07:46,814 --> 00:07:48,772
Did you have sex
with Michael Peterson?

114
00:07:49,512 --> 00:07:50,600
No.

115
00:07:54,778 --> 00:07:56,824
"I was in the Marines.

116
00:07:56,911 --> 00:07:59,130
Love to fuck, suck, and rim."

117
00:08:02,003 --> 00:08:03,439
Freda:
Peterson wrote that to you?

118
00:08:04,919 --> 00:08:06,094
Yeah.

119
00:08:07,748 --> 00:08:09,358
Mr. Wolgamott.

120
00:08:11,012 --> 00:08:13,362
Do you expect me to believe

121
00:08:13,449 --> 00:08:16,583
that after all these emails,
after all these phone calls,

122
00:08:16,670 --> 00:08:18,498
after all this back and forth,

123
00:08:18,585 --> 00:08:22,545
that you two never actually met?

124
00:08:22,632 --> 00:08:24,504
- Never.
- If you say you didn't,

125
00:08:24,591 --> 00:08:26,462
it's not going to get you
out of testifying.

126
00:08:31,162 --> 00:08:33,382
I can't believe you want
to show these in court.

127
00:08:35,340 --> 00:08:36,994
It's a good thing
I'm well hung.

128
00:08:38,430 --> 00:08:41,216
I wouldn't go so far
as to say that.

129
00:08:41,303 --> 00:08:42,478
Brad Wolgamott:
You don't think so?

130
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:45,829
Did you see this one?

131
00:08:47,091 --> 00:08:48,571
We'll let the jury decide.

132
00:08:50,268 --> 00:08:52,009
Well, I'm not surprised.

133
00:08:52,096 --> 00:08:53,837
- Ron: <i>Me neither.</i>
- Alright, Ron.

134
00:08:53,924 --> 00:08:56,187
Uh, get something to eat
and head back here.

135
00:08:58,146 --> 00:09:00,496
David Rudolf:
So, uh, that was Ron.

136
00:09:00,583 --> 00:09:02,454
Bill Peterson:
The search turn up anything?
They find the blow poke?

137
00:09:02,542 --> 00:09:03,978
No, no, nothing.

138
00:09:04,065 --> 00:09:06,633
But, uh, apparently

139
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,113
Deaver's still bashing in
Styrofoam heads

140
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,985
with the one Candace gave them.

141
00:09:11,072 --> 00:09:12,247
Tom Maher:
And?

142
00:09:12,334 --> 00:09:14,118
Well, that's the good news.

143
00:09:14,205 --> 00:09:16,120
They haven't been able
to show the blow poke

144
00:09:16,207 --> 00:09:17,600
could create that scene.

145
00:09:19,123 --> 00:09:21,822
The bad news is
the DA is on a crusade

146
00:09:21,909 --> 00:09:23,519
to find someone you slept with.

147
00:09:23,606 --> 00:09:25,042
We should talk
about the emails.

148
00:09:25,129 --> 00:09:27,131
Bill:
Which emails?

149
00:09:27,218 --> 00:09:31,092
Uh, between Mike
and Brad Wolgamott.

150
00:09:31,179 --> 00:09:33,442
A few other escorts online.

151
00:09:33,529 --> 00:09:34,922
Wait. An escort? What?

152
00:09:35,009 --> 00:09:36,837
Bill, settle down.

153
00:09:36,924 --> 00:09:38,447
Uh, Todd,
maybe you and your mom

154
00:09:38,534 --> 00:09:39,753
can help clean up a bit.

155
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,668
I'll make some coffee.

156
00:09:41,755 --> 00:09:42,756
Sure.

157
00:09:47,369 --> 00:09:49,240
Jean. Please, no family.

158
00:09:55,638 --> 00:09:59,686
Tom, I never met up
with any of those guys.

159
00:09:59,773 --> 00:10:02,514
Yeah, I, I came very close
to meeting up with Brad,

160
00:10:02,602 --> 00:10:03,951
but it didn't happen.

161
00:10:04,038 --> 00:10:05,300
Period.

162
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,089
Sometimes when you listen,

163
00:10:12,176 --> 00:10:14,004
you hear things
you don't want to.

164
00:10:14,091 --> 00:10:15,919
Michael:
So there are some emails.
So what?

165
00:10:16,006 --> 00:10:18,269
Tom:
These emails paint
a very vivid picture.

166
00:10:18,356 --> 00:10:19,836
David:
You want a picture?

167
00:10:19,923 --> 00:10:22,622
Huh? I'm a painter, too.

168
00:10:22,709 --> 00:10:25,537
I get up there,
and I read this.

169
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:27,583
In the same email
where Mike's talking

170
00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:29,585
about doing this,
that, and the other,

171
00:10:29,672 --> 00:10:31,456
Mike says,

172
00:10:31,543 --> 00:10:33,763
"Evenings aren't great
for me anyway.

173
00:10:33,850 --> 00:10:35,243
"I'm married.

174
00:10:35,330 --> 00:10:37,027
"Very happily married,

175
00:10:37,114 --> 00:10:38,986
"with a dynamite wife.

176
00:10:39,073 --> 00:10:41,162
"Yes, I know. I know.

177
00:10:41,249 --> 00:10:42,772
"I'm very bi,

178
00:10:42,859 --> 00:10:44,469
and that's all there is to it."

179
00:10:45,557 --> 00:10:47,037
Bill:
Can I see that?

180
00:10:47,124 --> 00:10:48,604
That's not somebody
hiding something.

181
00:10:48,691 --> 00:10:51,215
That's someone
who clearly loves his wife.

182
00:10:51,302 --> 00:10:54,262
I mean, it's not
only possible, but common

183
00:10:54,349 --> 00:10:57,221
for these kinds
of arrangements to exist.

184
00:10:57,308 --> 00:10:59,659
The French do it
all the time.

185
00:10:59,746 --> 00:11:02,487
Tom:
Without anyone to testify
that Kathleen knew,

186
00:11:02,574 --> 00:11:04,838
it's just conjecture.

187
00:11:04,925 --> 00:11:06,709
David:
Well, unless they get
a guy on the stand

188
00:11:06,796 --> 00:11:09,103
to testify
that she didn't know.

189
00:11:09,190 --> 00:11:11,714
I mean, if some emails
and some porn

190
00:11:11,801 --> 00:11:14,674
are all they got?

191
00:11:14,761 --> 00:11:17,285
Hey, this is
our biggest hurdle,

192
00:11:17,372 --> 00:11:18,765
and I'm already over it.

193
00:11:18,852 --> 00:11:20,767
I'm sorry,
I don't understand.

194
00:11:20,854 --> 00:11:24,422
What type of arrangements
exactly are we talking about?

195
00:11:24,509 --> 00:11:25,989
Jim: <i>
What do we got?</i>

196
00:11:26,076 --> 00:11:29,384
We have no murder weapon,

197
00:11:29,471 --> 00:11:33,170
and no one can say
they slept with Peterson.

198
00:11:33,257 --> 00:11:36,347
Man:
Brad Wolgamott's emails
could help solidify motive,

199
00:11:36,434 --> 00:11:38,088
but without proof of a meeting,

200
00:11:38,175 --> 00:11:40,525
it may not be worth it
to put him on the stand.

201
00:11:40,612 --> 00:11:45,835
But if I get up there
and I say,

202
00:11:45,922 --> 00:11:47,750
"Do you really think...

203
00:11:49,273 --> 00:11:50,971
"do you really think,

204
00:11:51,058 --> 00:11:52,886
"that Kathleen Peterson...

205
00:11:57,629 --> 00:12:00,458
"that this woman knew

206
00:12:00,545 --> 00:12:03,157
"her husband was talking
about fucking this

207
00:12:03,244 --> 00:12:04,419
"and sucking that...

208
00:12:07,117 --> 00:12:08,815
And God knows what else."

209
00:12:10,817 --> 00:12:12,906
Rimming.

210
00:12:12,993 --> 00:12:14,646
Y'all even know what that means?

211
00:12:16,300 --> 00:12:18,694
Man:
I believe it is,
uh, cunnilingus

212
00:12:18,781 --> 00:12:20,174
but from the other end.

213
00:12:21,784 --> 00:12:23,699
Wait, don't you mean
on the other end?

214
00:12:23,786 --> 00:12:26,006
- Jim: Even with, uh--
- And people enjoy that?

215
00:12:26,093 --> 00:12:28,182
Even with
the Freda Black show...

216
00:12:29,531 --> 00:12:32,882
the connection
between the emails

217
00:12:32,969 --> 00:12:36,016
sent in September to Brad

218
00:12:36,103 --> 00:12:39,584
and Kathleen
being killed in December

219
00:12:40,890 --> 00:12:42,849
is a little fuzzy.

220
00:12:48,506 --> 00:12:51,161
I want actual infidelity.

221
00:12:51,248 --> 00:12:53,598
That's concrete.
That's the story.

222
00:12:59,343 --> 00:13:01,432
Art Holland:
Do you recognize
this man right here?

223
00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:03,086
Michael Peterson?

224
00:13:06,829 --> 00:13:09,005
Have you noticed any
kind of strange behavior

225
00:13:09,092 --> 00:13:11,138
with Mr. Peterson or, um,

226
00:13:11,225 --> 00:13:14,315
...homoerotic relationships

227
00:13:14,402 --> 00:13:16,578
with any of your members?

228
00:13:24,064 --> 00:13:25,630
He's never come in here before?

229
00:13:25,717 --> 00:13:28,155
You're absolutely positive?
You sure?

230
00:13:32,202 --> 00:13:33,769
Patron: <i>
Dennis Rowe.</i>

231
00:13:33,856 --> 00:13:35,902
He mentioned
something about Peterson.

232
00:13:35,989 --> 00:13:37,338
Dennis Rowe?

233
00:13:37,425 --> 00:13:40,167
Yeah. R-O-W-E.

234
00:13:40,254 --> 00:13:41,821
He said he was fun.

235
00:13:45,999 --> 00:13:47,435
Hey.

236
00:13:47,522 --> 00:13:49,524
Hey. Hey, what's up?

237
00:13:49,611 --> 00:13:50,830
You happy to be back?

238
00:13:51,526 --> 00:13:53,049
Yeah.

239
00:13:53,136 --> 00:13:55,138
I don't know. Yeah.

240
00:13:55,225 --> 00:13:57,314
How's SF?
Making a lot of friends?

241
00:14:01,014 --> 00:14:02,232
Boyfriends?

242
00:14:03,407 --> 00:14:04,800
Martha:
No.

243
00:14:06,889 --> 00:14:10,414
So, you know, the DA's
been laser-focused
on Dad's sexuality.

244
00:14:10,501 --> 00:14:12,416
Well, they were before I left.

245
00:14:12,503 --> 00:14:13,722
Yeah. Right. So,

246
00:14:13,809 --> 00:14:15,332
I mean, you knew about the porn

247
00:14:15,419 --> 00:14:17,944
and that Dad
was talking with escorts.

248
00:14:22,557 --> 00:14:24,951
- Dad was cheating on Mom?
- No.

249
00:14:25,038 --> 00:14:26,996
I mean, they had an agreement.

250
00:14:27,083 --> 00:14:29,956
And Dad's happy, and,
and she was happy, so...

251
00:14:31,435 --> 00:14:33,960
Have you talked
to him about it?

252
00:14:34,047 --> 00:14:36,701
No. I mean, I don't know.
That's between those adults.

253
00:14:36,788 --> 00:14:39,791
I just feel like
we should be able
to have that dialog.

254
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:41,793
If you want to go talk
to him, go ahead.

255
00:14:41,881 --> 00:14:43,883
Alright? I'll make sure
I'm a hundred miles away.

256
00:16:02,439 --> 00:16:04,572
Michael:
Yeah, well, I'm glad...

257
00:16:04,659 --> 00:16:06,400
Man:
I'm glad you found me too.

258
00:16:11,666 --> 00:16:13,581
Man:
...word of mouth, you know.

259
00:16:13,668 --> 00:16:15,104
Yeah. I think so...

260
00:16:23,895 --> 00:16:25,723
...I'm seeing people
every other week.

261
00:16:25,810 --> 00:16:27,638
Oh, what the-- Surprise!

262
00:16:28,552 --> 00:16:30,293
What's going on?

263
00:16:30,380 --> 00:16:31,642
Michael:
Got you a massage.

264
00:16:31,729 --> 00:16:34,036
I know it's been
a little rough.

265
00:16:34,123 --> 00:16:36,169
I thought you deserved
something nice.

266
00:16:41,609 --> 00:16:43,480
I'm actually running for,

267
00:16:43,567 --> 00:16:46,179
uh, for Durham City Council,
you know.

268
00:16:46,266 --> 00:16:49,138
Some say that
the city council does

269
00:16:49,225 --> 00:16:52,185
more than the mayor's office,
you know, ever does.

270
00:16:52,272 --> 00:16:54,230
- Is that right?
- Oh yeah.

271
00:16:54,317 --> 00:16:56,711
You said you live by that
low-income development, right?

272
00:16:56,798 --> 00:16:58,930
Masseur:
Yeah. Yeah. Bit of an eyesore.

273
00:16:59,018 --> 00:17:01,237
- Michael: Mm-hm.
- Masseur: Hi. You want to start face down.

274
00:17:01,324 --> 00:17:02,586
- We'll get going.
- Kathleen: Sure.

275
00:17:15,773 --> 00:17:17,253
Masseur:
How's that face cradle?
Is it okay?

276
00:17:17,340 --> 00:17:19,038
- Kathleen: Mm-hmm.
- Masseur: Right.

277
00:17:24,217 --> 00:17:25,348
How's that pressure?

278
00:17:25,435 --> 00:17:26,697
Kathleen:
Mm. Good. Great.

279
00:17:26,784 --> 00:17:28,090
Thank you.

280
00:17:28,177 --> 00:17:29,831
That project
could have been great.

281
00:17:29,918 --> 00:17:31,398
And not just for
the people who need--

282
00:17:31,485 --> 00:17:32,964
Mike.

283
00:17:33,052 --> 00:17:35,054
You gonna be here
the whole time?

284
00:17:35,141 --> 00:17:36,794
I'm just talking
to a future constituent.

285
00:17:38,535 --> 00:17:40,407
Maybe you should go
to Blockbuster now

286
00:17:40,494 --> 00:17:42,365
and, you know, before all
the good movies are gone.

287
00:17:42,452 --> 00:17:43,584
Okay!

288
00:17:44,846 --> 00:17:46,674
James, take care of my wife.

289
00:17:46,761 --> 00:17:48,328
She's a delicate flower.

290
00:17:48,415 --> 00:17:50,243
I'll do my best.

291
00:18:10,611 --> 00:18:13,831
Ron:
Do you know this guy?
Dennis Rowe? R-O-W-E?

292
00:18:14,745 --> 00:18:16,007
Mike?

293
00:18:20,229 --> 00:18:23,319
No, I don't know
who the hell he is.

294
00:18:23,406 --> 00:18:25,365
You meet a lot of people
when you're campaigning.

295
00:18:25,452 --> 00:18:27,367
Well, apparently,
he's a friend of Lori's.

296
00:18:27,454 --> 00:18:29,325
Kathleen used to babysit him

297
00:18:29,412 --> 00:18:31,022
and his brothers
when they were kids.

298
00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:32,894
My sources say he has a limp.

299
00:18:32,981 --> 00:18:35,288
A limp!

300
00:18:35,375 --> 00:18:37,290
Says you had sex with him
four or five times.

301
00:18:37,377 --> 00:18:38,726
Oh, you're shitting me!

302
00:18:40,249 --> 00:18:42,512
- That's what he's claiming.
- Oh my god.

303
00:18:42,599 --> 00:18:44,732
David:
Rather know now than later.

304
00:18:44,819 --> 00:18:48,083
Did he indicate where this
great love affair took place?

305
00:18:48,170 --> 00:18:49,302
He hasn't given
a full statement yet.

306
00:18:49,389 --> 00:18:51,130
Oh, when he does, get it to me.

307
00:18:51,217 --> 00:18:53,001
I'm dying to see it.

308
00:18:53,088 --> 00:18:55,569
- Ron: Will do.
- Michael: Is that it, then?

309
00:18:56,961 --> 00:18:59,181
David:
Uh, yeah. Till we get more.

310
00:18:59,268 --> 00:19:00,791
We're going to need
to digest this

311
00:19:00,878 --> 00:19:02,750
and rethink
how we approach it.

312
00:19:02,837 --> 00:19:04,578
Patty:
When we lived in Germany,

313
00:19:04,665 --> 00:19:08,625
Mike had many dalliances
with men and women,

314
00:19:08,712 --> 00:19:11,324
and I didn't end up
at the bottom of the stairs.

315
00:19:11,411 --> 00:19:13,195
- Patty.
- My ex-wife, everyone.

316
00:19:13,282 --> 00:19:14,675
She'll, uh,
she'll be around all week.

317
00:19:17,895 --> 00:19:20,071
Mike, can I talk
to you for a second?

318
00:19:37,219 --> 00:19:39,047
How-how many more men
are they going to turn up?

319
00:19:39,134 --> 00:19:41,528
I, I don't know, Bill.
I don't keep a diary.

320
00:19:41,615 --> 00:19:43,704
But I'm pretty sure
I never fucked a cripple.

321
00:19:47,447 --> 00:19:50,928
No. You said,
"No affairs, Bill."

322
00:19:51,015 --> 00:19:53,670
Well, they weren't affairs.

323
00:19:53,757 --> 00:19:56,586
I, I never, I never took any
of those guys out to dinner.

324
00:19:56,673 --> 00:19:58,588
It was just sex.

325
00:19:58,675 --> 00:20:01,156
Don't "Michael Peterson" me.

326
00:20:01,243 --> 00:20:03,767
I mean, sex is affairs.

327
00:20:03,854 --> 00:20:05,856
You... lied.

328
00:20:05,943 --> 00:20:09,295
You slept around on Patty.
You slept around on Kathleen.

329
00:20:09,382 --> 00:20:10,861
Well, I, I didn't lie.

330
00:20:10,948 --> 00:20:12,994
What? You heard her.

331
00:20:13,081 --> 00:20:16,911
I slept with men and women
when we were married.

332
00:20:16,998 --> 00:20:20,219
I only had sex with men

333
00:20:20,306 --> 00:20:21,959
since I married Kathleen.

334
00:20:23,874 --> 00:20:25,615
- Don't you get it?
- Kathleen knew?

335
00:20:25,702 --> 00:20:27,313
And answer the question.

336
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:28,662
You sound
like her right now!

337
00:20:28,749 --> 00:20:30,141
"Just answer
the question, Mike."

338
00:20:30,229 --> 00:20:33,623
No, no. She knew,
and she understood.

339
00:20:33,710 --> 00:20:36,235
To say otherwise, it's,
it's just insulting to her.

340
00:20:43,807 --> 00:20:45,505
I should have
mentioned this, uh, before.

341
00:20:45,592 --> 00:20:48,072
I'm going to go to Reno
for a couple of days.

342
00:20:48,159 --> 00:20:50,379
What? Well, for how long?

343
00:20:50,466 --> 00:20:52,033
A couple of weeks.

344
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:55,384
I just, I need to try
and figure out a balance

345
00:20:55,471 --> 00:20:57,517
between home and Durham.

346
00:20:57,604 --> 00:21:00,563
What? Come on.
You can't leave because
you're pissed at me.

347
00:21:00,650 --> 00:21:02,217
That's not why I'm leaving.

348
00:21:02,304 --> 00:21:05,612
I'm leaving because
I want to see my family.

349
00:21:05,699 --> 00:21:07,222
What? Who's going to
take care of everything?

350
00:21:07,309 --> 00:21:09,268
Make sure, make sure
the bills are paid?

351
00:21:09,355 --> 00:21:11,052
Here-here-here's
the latest Nortel check.

352
00:21:11,139 --> 00:21:13,272
You go to the bank,
walk up to the teller,

353
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:14,447
sign the back, hand it over.

354
00:21:14,534 --> 00:21:15,970
It's not that difficult.

355
00:21:16,057 --> 00:21:17,667
You're, you're here
to take care of me,

356
00:21:17,754 --> 00:21:19,278
not to give me a hard time.

357
00:21:19,365 --> 00:21:20,322
I know it's hard
for you to believe,

358
00:21:20,409 --> 00:21:21,802
it's not all about you.

359
00:21:21,889 --> 00:21:23,369
No, it is!
It is all about me.

360
00:21:25,588 --> 00:21:27,024
Make no mistake,
for the next little while

361
00:21:27,111 --> 00:21:29,200
or however fuckin' long
this takes,

362
00:21:29,288 --> 00:21:30,985
it is about me.

363
00:21:31,072 --> 00:21:32,856
Now when it's your ass
about to go to prison

364
00:21:32,943 --> 00:21:34,423
for the rest of your life,
it can be about you.

365
00:21:34,510 --> 00:21:35,685
Take a breath.

366
00:21:45,086 --> 00:21:46,305
I loved her.

367
00:21:48,916 --> 00:21:50,570
And she fucking loved me too.

368
00:22:00,362 --> 00:22:02,799
Dennis Rowe:
The first time
was about eight years ago

369
00:22:02,886 --> 00:22:05,062
at the sex shop off the 110.

370
00:22:05,149 --> 00:22:08,588
Then a few years later
again at the YMCA.

371
00:22:10,677 --> 00:22:13,941
- The Forest Hills Y?
- Dennis: Yeah.

372
00:22:14,028 --> 00:22:15,246
You work out there?

373
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,425
On occasion.

374
00:22:19,512 --> 00:22:22,776
Uh, so you didn't know

375
00:22:22,863 --> 00:22:25,387
who you were having
intercourse with?

376
00:22:25,474 --> 00:22:28,564
No. I didn't know who he was
until I walked into his house,

377
00:22:28,651 --> 00:22:30,827
and Lori
introduced me to him.

378
00:22:30,914 --> 00:22:33,830
After the party,
did you tell Lori

379
00:22:33,917 --> 00:22:36,703
about your connection
with Michael?

380
00:22:36,790 --> 00:22:39,619
No, I... I didn't...

381
00:22:41,229 --> 00:22:44,406
I didn't see any reason
to create a problem.

382
00:22:44,493 --> 00:22:46,930
Do you know anyone else
who might have slept

383
00:22:47,017 --> 00:22:48,367
with Michael Peterson?

384
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,760
Dennis:
Um...

385
00:22:52,632 --> 00:22:54,982
You can tell us now
or under oath.

386
00:22:57,637 --> 00:23:00,248
I would talk
to Tyrone Lacour.

387
00:23:00,335 --> 00:23:03,512
You're friends
with Tyrone Lacour?

388
00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:05,384
Dennis:
No. Not friends.

389
00:23:05,471 --> 00:23:07,211
We're in a small community.

390
00:23:07,298 --> 00:23:09,910
I told him the story
after the campaign event.

391
00:23:09,997 --> 00:23:11,694
He, he looked up
Michael's picture

392
00:23:11,781 --> 00:23:13,653
and-and-and thought
he looked familiar.

393
00:23:17,178 --> 00:23:18,484
Jim:
Alright.

394
00:23:22,357 --> 00:23:24,141
Well, Mr. Rowe,

395
00:23:24,228 --> 00:23:26,056
what I'd love
for you to do for me

396
00:23:26,143 --> 00:23:28,015
is write down

397
00:23:28,102 --> 00:23:30,583

398
00:23:30,670 --> 00:23:32,367
<i>with Peterson.</i>

399
00:23:37,416 --> 00:23:39,592
Jim: <i>Every detail,</i> <i>

400
00:23:40,810 --> 00:23:44,031

Take another look, Tyrone.

00:25:07,244 --> 00:25:09,682
Maybe an anonymous hookup somewhere.

419
00:25:09,769 --> 00:25:11,466
Who's telling you this shit?

420
00:25:11,553 --> 00:25:13,337
Someone trustworthy.

421
00:25:13,424 --> 00:25:14,687
Reputable.

422
00:25:18,429 --> 00:25:20,910
I ain't no fag.
Well, if somethin'
comes to mind...

423
00:25:20,997 --> 00:25:23,130
give me a call.
You've got my card.

424
00:25:24,610 --> 00:25:26,394
Jim: <i>
Was that enough time for you?</i>

425
00:25:26,481 --> 00:25:29,092
- Dennis: Yes, sir.
- Jim: Let's see what we've got.

426
00:25:32,574 --> 00:25:34,271
Jim: <i>
What's this list?</i>

427
00:25:34,358 --> 00:25:36,273
Names of other people
I've slept with.

428
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:38,711
If you're going
to get me up there
and ask about Peterson,

429
00:25:38,798 --> 00:25:40,582
I'm guessing
I'll also be asked

430
00:25:40,669 --> 00:25:42,758
about the other important
married men in town

431
00:25:42,845 --> 00:25:44,717
I've slept with.

432
00:25:44,804 --> 00:25:47,328

you know pretty well.

434

Jim:
Acquaintances.

436
00:25:59,035 --> 00:26:00,907
Donors, actually.

437
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,521
I don't see this
playing out well for us, Freda.

438
00:26:10,220 --> 00:26:11,570
Outing...

439
00:26:15,225 --> 00:26:17,401
innocent people on the stand

440
00:26:17,488 --> 00:26:20,840
in order to show what
Michael Peterson was up to.

441
00:26:20,927 --> 00:26:23,712
Well, we have the autopsy,

442
00:26:23,799 --> 00:26:26,410
the crime scene, the photos,

443
00:26:26,497 --> 00:26:27,760
the emails.

444
00:26:29,022 --> 00:26:30,589
We have our theory.

445
00:26:32,634 --> 00:26:36,072
A man who is hiding

446
00:26:36,159 --> 00:26:38,901
gets caught and explodes.

447
00:26:41,164 --> 00:26:42,949
Jim:
It all feels circumstantial.

448
00:26:45,691 --> 00:26:47,475
We have a theory

449
00:26:47,562 --> 00:26:50,260
about a motive
and no murder weapon.

450
00:26:55,352 --> 00:26:57,877
Well, I guess
we also still got Brad.

451
00:27:00,488 --> 00:27:02,882
David: <i>
Their search</i> <i>
has hit a dead end.</i>

452

Michael: <i>

know this Rowe guy.</i>

453
00:27:04,710 --> 00:27:07,016
Apparently, you're not
as hot as we thought.

454
00:27:07,103 --> 00:27:07,930
Michael: <i>
Why did it seem like everyone</i> <i>
wants a piece of me?</i>

455
00:27:08,714 --> 00:27:10,150
Well...

456
00:27:10,237 --> 00:27:12,369
What are you up to
this weekend?

457
00:27:12,456 --> 00:27:14,894
- David: <i>Working for you.</i>
- What? No, forget me.

458
00:27:14,981 --> 00:27:17,026
<i>Just spend time</i> <i>
with your wife and kid, man.</i>

459
00:27:17,113 --> 00:27:19,899
Well, Charlene's not so crazy
about me right now.

460
00:27:19,986 --> 00:27:21,988
Michael: <i>
Oh yeah? What'd you do?</i>

461
00:27:22,075 --> 00:27:26,253
Renovations
and well, let's just say...

462
00:27:26,340 --> 00:27:29,038
I admire the relationship
you and Kathleen had.

463
00:27:29,125 --> 00:27:32,085
Where she let you be you.

464
00:27:32,172 --> 00:27:34,740
<i>My wife and I are just not</i> <i>
on the same page.</i>

465
00:27:34,827 --> 00:27:36,872
Oh.

466
00:27:36,959 --> 00:27:38,700
David: <i>
Happy to talk my problems,</i>

467
00:27:38,787 --> 00:27:41,224
but, uh, I'm still on
the clock here, Mike.

468
00:27:41,311 --> 00:27:44,227
Well, geez. Never mind.
I can't afford you as it is.

469
00:27:44,314 --> 00:27:47,361
Okay. Well...
thank you, David.

470
00:27:47,448 --> 00:27:50,016
Thank me when we hear
"Not guilty."

471
00:27:50,103 --> 00:27:51,757
<i>- Good night.</i>
- Good night.

472
00:27:54,324 --> 00:27:56,631
Nothing! Nothing!

00:27:56,718 --> 00:27:58,372
They got nothin'.

00:27:58,459 --> 00:28:00,330

475
00:28:00,417 --> 00:28:01,810
DA's got nothing.

00:28:01,897 --> 00:28:03,464
Dad, this is great.

00:28:05,074 --> 00:28:06,815
Martha:
Hey, Dad.

478
00:28:10,297 --> 00:28:12,212
Would you talk
about it with me?

479
00:28:12,299 --> 00:28:13,692
Talk about what?

480
00:28:19,828 --> 00:28:22,135
You really want to talk
about your dad's sex life?

481
00:28:26,139 --> 00:28:27,488
Go to bed, honey.

482
00:28:29,142 --> 00:28:31,013
Okay. Good night.

483
00:28:52,295 --> 00:28:54,210
Oh my god.

484
00:28:54,907 --> 00:28:56,082
Oh!

Uh, well, um...
things are crazy,

00:29:13,708 --> 00:29:15,971
but, um, you know, good.

489
00:29:16,058 --> 00:29:17,494
You know, election's coming up.

499
00:29:38,951 --> 00:29:42,432
Well, uh, let me know

<i>Promise me something though.</i>

00:29:45,087 --> 00:29:46,741
What?

Brad: <i>Stay hard</i> <i>

00:29:49,091 --> 00:29:50,571
Uh, yeah. Alright.

Yeah, you too. Bye.

Uh, how was the massage?

517
00:33:04,721 --> 00:33:07,898
Amazing. Until I had
to take a shower.

518
00:33:07,986 --> 00:33:10,989
I think the bats are chewing
the pipes or clogging them.

519
00:33:11,076 --> 00:33:12,555
All I know is, it's a problem.

520
00:33:12,642 --> 00:33:14,035
Mm-hmm.
I'll figure it out.

521
00:33:15,341 --> 00:33:17,169
Let's just enjoy
the night. Hmm?

522
00:33:25,090 --> 00:33:26,091
Hmm.

523
00:33:29,833 --> 00:33:31,966
- Where are the dogs?
- Who cares?

524
00:33:33,837 --> 00:33:36,318
Almost ripped up the rug today.

525
00:33:36,405 --> 00:33:38,712
Oh yeah, I meant to ask.
How'd the talk go with Patty?

526
00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:40,061
Oh, right.

527
00:33:40,148 --> 00:33:42,759
Um, well, uh...

528
00:33:42,846 --> 00:33:45,719
she can't refinance
the house again.

529
00:33:45,806 --> 00:33:48,722
It's something-- German laws
makes it verboten,

530
00:33:48,809 --> 00:33:50,898
so I, I think
we're going to have to...

531
00:33:50,985 --> 00:33:53,814
I think we're going to
have to keep chipping in
to help with the boys.

532
00:33:58,949 --> 00:34:00,734
I know what
you're doing here.

533
00:34:00,821 --> 00:34:03,389
Butter me up with a massage
and a romantic night,

534
00:34:03,476 --> 00:34:06,522
and then you ask me
to bail your kids out again

535
00:34:06,609 --> 00:34:08,394
because you let them
get away with murder.

536
00:34:08,481 --> 00:34:10,048
Especially Clayton.

537
00:34:10,135 --> 00:34:11,832
I, I know you're mad
at him. I am, too.

538
00:34:11,919 --> 00:34:14,400
You literally bought him
a car when things blew up.

539
00:34:14,487 --> 00:34:18,360
Well, nothing actually
blew up... that time.

540
00:34:19,361 --> 00:34:20,797
Clay got lucky.

541
00:34:22,364 --> 00:34:24,888
And you... are playing me.

542
00:34:25,715 --> 00:34:27,065
Is it working?

543
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:31,852
The Great Dissembler,
ladies and gentlemen.

544
00:34:54,396 --> 00:34:56,181
I guess we'll do
what we always do,

545
00:34:56,268 --> 00:34:58,008
just figure it out.

546
00:35:01,186 --> 00:35:03,188
Some money for the boys.

547
00:35:05,494 --> 00:35:07,235
We need to deal with
the plumbing first.

548
00:35:10,064 --> 00:35:11,109
And then...

549
00:35:12,371 --> 00:35:14,155
Ohh.

550
00:35:16,505 --> 00:35:17,941
We'll, um...

551
00:35:31,433 --> 00:35:33,348
And then...

552
00:35:35,350 --> 00:35:36,786
we'll, um...

553
00:35:41,965 --> 00:35:44,620
Oh... We'll deal
with the bats later.

554
00:35:52,193 --> 00:35:54,456
Hello.

555
00:35:54,543 --> 00:35:56,241
Tyrone: <i>
I know you gave them</i> <i>
my name, Dennis.</i>

556
00:35:56,328 --> 00:35:58,721
I will do you like that
Peterson bitch. You hear me?

557
00:35:58,808 --> 00:35:59,853
You shut your mouth.

558
00:35:59,940 --> 00:36:01,202
Shut it.

559
00:36:02,769 --> 00:36:04,466
Tyrone?

560
00:36:06,033 --> 00:36:08,035
Shit.

561
00:36:08,122 --> 00:36:10,429
Jean: <i>
What do you think of...</i>

562
00:36:10,516 --> 00:36:12,039
...when you think
of Kathleen?

563
00:36:12,126 --> 00:36:14,476
I think of just these

564
00:36:14,563 --> 00:36:18,132
wonderful and funny moments.

565
00:36:18,219 --> 00:36:19,525
- Hello?
- Man: Shh!

566
00:36:19,612 --> 00:36:22,092
Michael:
She was so funny.

567
00:36:22,180 --> 00:36:24,704
There's this, there's this
wonderful photo of her

568
00:36:24,791 --> 00:36:30,188
in front of the Imperial Palace
in Tokyo just... looking.

569
00:36:30,275 --> 00:36:34,540
Or just... how we talk
about the kids.

570
00:36:34,627 --> 00:36:37,499
Is it strange for you to be
in the house where she died?

571
00:36:38,065 --> 00:36:39,284
No.

572
00:36:39,371 --> 00:36:41,242
I feel her here.

573
00:36:43,505 --> 00:36:46,726
Just imagine she might walk
through that door any moment,

574
00:36:46,813 --> 00:36:48,206
just smiling,

575
00:36:48,293 --> 00:36:51,339
laughing, just...

576
00:36:51,426 --> 00:36:54,081
telling me I'm going
to be late for something.

577
00:37:00,566 --> 00:37:02,872
Shit.

578
00:37:06,006 --> 00:37:07,137
Can we take a moment?

579
00:37:07,225 --> 00:37:08,530
Yeah.

580
00:37:08,617 --> 00:37:10,445
Michael:
Come here, Margie.

581
00:37:10,532 --> 00:37:12,708
I know you didn't come home
just to hear me talk.

582
00:37:12,795 --> 00:37:14,580
You finally found someone
who has to listen
to your stories.

583
00:37:14,667 --> 00:37:16,669
Come here.

584
00:37:16,756 --> 00:37:19,672
Everyone, I'd like you to meet
my other daughter, Margaret.

585
00:37:19,759 --> 00:37:22,370
- Jean: Hi.
- Michael: Is it weird being back?

586
00:37:22,457 --> 00:37:23,893
Margaret:
Yeah, it was a little
weird going through town,

587
00:37:23,980 --> 00:37:26,156
like, but it's good
to be home.

588
00:37:26,244 --> 00:37:28,942
You guys hungry?
Should we make some lunch?

589
00:37:29,029 --> 00:37:31,901
Jean:
Michael, are you sure
it's okay to shoot the girls?

590
00:37:37,385 --> 00:37:39,257
Michael:
Sure.

591
00:37:41,433 --> 00:37:43,609
You get used to it
faster than you think.

592
00:37:43,696 --> 00:37:44,697
Todd loves it.

593
00:38:18,426 --> 00:38:20,689
Huh? What? Huh?

594
00:38:20,776 --> 00:38:22,038
Come on.

595
00:39:27,713 --> 00:39:32,108
Devon:
We've kept the office
just the way she left it.

596
00:39:32,195 --> 00:39:35,634
The only things that are gone
are the calendar

597
00:39:35,721 --> 00:39:38,158
and the diary she had
in her desk.

598
00:39:38,245 --> 00:39:41,074
The police took them
pretty early on.

599
00:39:41,161 --> 00:39:42,771
Caitlin:
What did Mike take?

600
00:39:42,858 --> 00:39:44,512
Devon:
Michael hasn't taken anything.

601
00:39:46,514 --> 00:39:48,298
What about Martha
and Margaret?

602
00:39:48,386 --> 00:39:49,909
Did they come by?

603
00:39:49,996 --> 00:39:51,606
No one's reached out
this whole time but you.

604
00:39:52,955 --> 00:39:54,783
I sent in my condolences
pretty early on,

605
00:39:54,870 --> 00:39:57,656
but once
the investigation started,

606
00:39:57,743 --> 00:40:00,485
I figured, better
to keep my distance.

607
00:40:01,964 --> 00:40:03,575
I don't know why I thought

608
00:40:03,662 --> 00:40:05,228
that they'd be interested
in this stuff.

609
00:40:11,539 --> 00:40:13,585
Sorry, do you mind if I have
a moment alone here?

610
00:40:14,281 --> 00:40:15,674
Of course.

611
00:40:15,761 --> 00:40:17,066
Take your time.

612
00:41:04,984 --> 00:41:06,942
Good morning.

613
00:41:07,029 --> 00:41:08,683
- Morning.
- David: The trial's around the corner.

614
00:41:08,770 --> 00:41:10,990
We gotta control the narrative.

615
00:41:11,077 --> 00:41:13,819
I don't see a way
around it, so,

616
00:41:13,906 --> 00:41:16,386
the interview
would be filmed here,

617
00:41:16,474 --> 00:41:20,608
but it will be syndicated
to all ABC affiliates.

618
00:41:20,695 --> 00:41:22,697
We can have the eyes
and ears of the country.

619
00:41:26,962 --> 00:41:28,442
What you doing?

620
00:41:30,052 --> 00:41:32,925
Well, I'm just going
through autopsy reports.

621
00:41:33,012 --> 00:41:35,057
That's totally normal.

622
00:41:36,145 --> 00:41:37,843
Nothing's normal anymore.

623
00:41:39,192 --> 00:41:40,933
I know. I was kidding.

624
00:41:47,461 --> 00:41:49,376
Margaret:
Martha...

625
00:41:49,463 --> 00:41:52,205
Hey.

626
00:41:52,292 --> 00:41:56,122
So they want us to do
an interview on the news.

627
00:41:56,209 --> 00:41:57,210
- What?
- I know.

628
00:41:57,297 --> 00:41:58,690
I don't want to do that.

629
00:41:58,777 --> 00:42:00,474
- I know, I--
- David: So...

630
00:42:01,693 --> 00:42:03,869
what do you think?

631
00:42:03,956 --> 00:42:06,132
The reporter, Sonya Pfeiffer,
is a friend,

632
00:42:06,219 --> 00:42:08,264
so no curveballs.

633
00:42:08,351 --> 00:42:10,615
This is what Caitlin
would be doing

634
00:42:10,702 --> 00:42:13,531
for the family if she was here.

635
00:42:13,618 --> 00:42:15,184
Margaret:
Uh, we're not sure.

636
00:42:15,271 --> 00:42:17,491
It's just like
a lot of people.

637
00:42:23,149 --> 00:42:26,239
Well, seems like you're already
getting used to an audience.

638
00:42:27,327 --> 00:42:29,329
Yeah, but it's...

639
00:42:30,548 --> 00:42:31,897
it's a news show on TV.

640
00:42:31,984 --> 00:42:33,594
It's, like, immediate.

641
00:42:33,681 --> 00:42:36,205
What if we say the wrong thing?

642
00:42:36,292 --> 00:42:37,467
No, you girls will do great.

643
00:42:38,468 --> 00:42:39,992
Alright?

644
00:42:40,079 --> 00:42:42,864
Look, you'll have to accept,

645
00:42:42,951 --> 00:42:45,606
sooner or later,

646
00:42:45,693 --> 00:42:47,782
everyone's going
to know who you are.

647
00:42:56,791 --> 00:43:00,839
I'm not going to push
you girls to do anything
you don't want to do.

648
00:43:00,926 --> 00:43:03,798
You know
let Caitlin and Candace

649
00:43:03,885 --> 00:43:05,800
piss on our family
if that's what they--

650
00:43:05,887 --> 00:43:07,454
- Margaret: Dad...
- No. No, I mean it. Fuck them!

651
00:43:09,369 --> 00:43:10,936
I'd rather go to prison

652
00:43:11,023 --> 00:43:12,459
that put you girls
through any more pain.

653
00:43:16,202 --> 00:43:17,464
We're okay.

654
00:43:19,292 --> 00:43:21,642
We'll, we'll do
what we have to.

655
00:43:21,729 --> 00:43:24,863
Great. I'm going
to get it set.

656
00:43:24,950 --> 00:43:28,127
And, uh, Martha,
think about dyeing your hair.

657
00:43:28,214 --> 00:43:29,824
Bleach blonde
isn't great on camera.

658
00:43:56,938 --> 00:43:59,462
It's really good
to see you, man.

659
00:43:59,549 --> 00:44:01,247
I've been thinking
about you and your dad.

660
00:44:01,334 --> 00:44:02,640
- Yeah.
- Your mom--

661
00:44:02,727 --> 00:44:04,903
Yeah, man.
It's, it's been intense.

662
00:44:04,990 --> 00:44:06,818
I'm telling you, man. Cabo.

663
00:44:09,037 --> 00:44:11,083
Look how tan I am. Right?

664
00:44:11,170 --> 00:44:12,345
I'm fuckin' hot. Right?

665
00:44:17,698 --> 00:44:18,786
Fuck.

666
00:44:21,528 --> 00:44:22,660
Nate:

667
00:44:23,704 --> 00:44:24,662
Oh.

668
00:44:26,054 --> 00:44:27,403
That's good shit, huh?

669
00:44:29,623 --> 00:44:31,364
Man...

670
00:44:31,451 --> 00:44:33,932
You know...

671
00:44:34,019 --> 00:44:36,151
- the thing about my dad...
- I love your dad.

672
00:44:36,238 --> 00:44:37,762
...is he's people.

673
00:44:37,849 --> 00:44:39,415
You know?

674
00:44:39,502 --> 00:44:41,200
What I'm starting
to realize is

675
00:44:41,287 --> 00:44:43,985
that people are just people.

676
00:44:44,072 --> 00:44:45,944
And they go, and they,
they create these labels.

677
00:44:47,641 --> 00:44:49,034
They just try
to categorize people.

678
00:44:50,513 --> 00:44:51,906
What are you talking about?

679
00:44:55,693 --> 00:44:58,391
It's just my dad
is complicated.

680
00:44:58,478 --> 00:45:00,872
- Nate: You wanna do another one?
- Yeah.

681
00:45:00,959 --> 00:45:02,961
Dude, I'm telling you,
Cabo's so fuckin' sick.

682
00:45:03,048 --> 00:45:05,093
You got to get away
from here, man.

683
00:45:05,180 --> 00:45:06,791
Fuck, and I already did,
like, all the groundwork
and everything.

684
00:45:06,878 --> 00:45:08,227
Timeshare shit there, man.

685
00:45:08,314 --> 00:45:10,142
Like, you can make
ten to one

686
00:45:10,229 --> 00:45:11,534
fucking on your investment,
I'm telling you, dude.

687
00:45:25,244 --> 00:45:26,680
What--?

688
00:45:30,379 --> 00:45:32,077
Oh fuck.

689
00:45:34,035 --> 00:45:35,341
Fuck.

690
00:45:47,614 --> 00:45:48,702
I'm sorry, Dad, I--

691
00:45:48,789 --> 00:45:50,095
Imagine people seeing my son

692
00:45:50,182 --> 00:45:51,792
getting wasted around town.

693
00:45:51,879 --> 00:45:54,316
They're gonna think
we're a family of assholes.

694
00:45:54,403 --> 00:45:57,363
Clayton's the fuckup,
not you.

695
00:45:57,450 --> 00:45:59,757
You're my centurion.
I need you focused.

696
00:46:02,629 --> 00:46:04,674
I know. I'm sorry, Dad--

697
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,198
Now go on up
and have a shower.

698
00:46:22,562 --> 00:46:23,911
- You okay?
- Todd: Yeah.

699
00:46:23,998 --> 00:46:25,695
Just, um...
give me a minute,

700
00:46:25,783 --> 00:46:27,045
I'll get breakfast ready.

701
00:46:27,132 --> 00:46:28,655
Margaret:
We can do it.

702
00:46:28,742 --> 00:46:29,743
No, it's fine.
Just give me a minute.

703
00:46:33,747 --> 00:46:35,618
Bill: <i>What does that mean?</i> <i>
Can you forward me the letter?</i>

704
00:46:35,705 --> 00:46:37,403
Tom:
Yes, we will.

705
00:46:37,490 --> 00:46:40,058
Bottom line, though,
Caitlin's lawyer was successful

706
00:46:40,145 --> 00:46:42,190
in stopping the payments
coming from Nortel.

707
00:46:42,277 --> 00:46:44,236
She and her biological father

708
00:46:44,323 --> 00:46:46,238
have been identified
as the next of kin.

709
00:46:46,325 --> 00:46:47,979
On the life insurance?

710
00:46:49,284 --> 00:46:51,634
Tom:
You shouldn't count on it.

711
00:46:51,721 --> 00:46:53,506
After everything
I've done for her.

712
00:46:54,855 --> 00:46:56,248
Greedy bitch.

713
00:46:56,335 --> 00:46:57,858
Bill: <i>
I can talk to Jackie</i>

714
00:46:57,945 --> 00:46:59,904
<i>about refinancing the house
when I see her.</i>

715
00:46:59,991 --> 00:47:01,993
<i>Maybe dip</i> <i>
into Dad's savings.</i>

716
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:03,951
My dad's in
a nursing home in Reno.

717
00:47:04,038 --> 00:47:06,127
He has some savings that we
were going to probably inherit.

718
00:47:06,214 --> 00:47:07,825
Bill: <i>
It's not much, but...</i>

719
00:47:07,912 --> 00:47:09,609
Don't be gone
too long, Bill.

720
00:47:09,696 --> 00:47:12,742
Please, okay?
I need you here.

721
00:47:12,830 --> 00:47:15,310
Bill: <i>
Don't worry, Mike.</i> <i>
I'll be back soon enough.</i>

722
00:47:24,711 --> 00:47:25,973
Don't worry.

723
00:47:26,060 --> 00:47:27,888
David's a good friend.

724
00:47:27,975 --> 00:47:29,803
I swear
I'll make it painless.

725
00:47:29,890 --> 00:47:33,154
You good? Alright.

726
00:47:33,241 --> 00:47:35,548
Well, just, um, imagine
I'm one of the girls

727
00:47:35,635 --> 00:47:37,855
and we're, we're getting
to know each other.

728
00:47:37,942 --> 00:47:40,727
With the interview,
are you going to ask

729
00:47:40,814 --> 00:47:43,991
about our, our mom-mom
in Germany?

730
00:47:44,078 --> 00:47:46,080
No, well, just,
just what you remember.

731
00:47:46,167 --> 00:47:47,647
Uh, the good things.

732
00:47:47,734 --> 00:47:48,953
Thanks. Yeah.

733
00:47:52,434 --> 00:47:53,871
Sonya Pfeiffer:
Okay.

734
00:47:56,699 --> 00:47:58,092
<i>This is Sonya Pfeiffer</i> <i>
reporting</i>

735
00:47:58,179 --> 00:48:00,790
<i>for WTVD Channel 11 News.</i>

736
00:48:00,878 --> 00:48:04,229
<i>I'm with the daughters</i> <i>
of novelist Michael Peterson</i>

737
00:48:04,316 --> 00:48:07,188
<i>who is preparing for trial</i> <i>
for the murder of his wife</i>

738
00:48:07,275 --> 00:48:09,147
<i>Kathleen.</i>

739
00:48:09,234 --> 00:48:11,584
<i>Today, they break</i> <i>
their silence on the case</i>

740
00:48:11,671 --> 00:48:13,281
<i>in this exclusive interview.</i>

741
00:48:13,368 --> 00:48:15,414
<i>Born to George</i> <i>
and Liz Ratliff</i>

742
00:48:15,501 --> 00:48:17,807
<i>in Germany in the 1980s,</i>

743
00:48:17,895 --> 00:48:19,722
<i>where their father</i> <i>
was stationed</i> <i>
on a military base,</i>

744
00:48:19,809 --> 00:48:21,594
<i>Margaret was only two,</i>

745
00:48:21,681 --> 00:48:23,204
<i>Martha not even one,</i>

746
00:48:23,291 --> 00:48:25,250
<i>when he died</i> <i>
on a mission in Panama.</i>

747

<i>A year later,</i>

00:48:27,165 --> 00:48:29,167
<i>their mother died</i> <i>
of a brain aneurysm.</i>

749
00:48:29,254 --> 00:48:31,386
<i>Within the course</i> <i>
of two years,</i>

750
00:48:31,473 --> 00:48:34,128
<i>they lost both</i> <i>
their biological parents.</i>

751
00:48:34,215 --> 00:48:37,566
<i>I remember almost</i> <i>
nothing from that time.</i>

752
00:48:37,653 --> 00:48:39,351
Martha: <i>Yeah.</i> <i>
I, I only remember</i>

753
00:48:39,438 --> 00:48:42,093
<i>what people tell me</i> <i>
about that period.</i>

754
00:48:42,180 --> 00:48:44,443
Sonya: <i>
Two of those people</i> <i>
were Michael Peterson</i>

755
00:48:44,530 --> 00:48:46,271
<i>and his wife</i> <i>
at the time, Patty,</i>

756
00:48:46,358 --> 00:48:48,316
<i>who were neighbors</i> <i>
and close friends.</i>

757
00:48:48,403 --> 00:48:49,970
<i>It was confusing</i>

758
00:48:50,057 --> 00:48:52,103
<i>when Michael left Patty</i> <i>
for Kathleen.</i>

759
00:48:52,190 --> 00:48:54,453
- Woman: Exactly.
- Martha: <i>Yeah,</i> <i>confusing but wonderful.</i>

760
00:48:54,540 --> 00:48:56,498
He's an adulterer.

761
00:48:56,585 --> 00:48:58,848
Martha: <i>
Ka-Kathleen became our mom.</i>

762
00:48:58,936 --> 00:49:01,982
<i>He loved her,</i> <i>
and, and she loved us.</i>

763
00:49:02,069 --> 00:49:04,593
Sonya: <i>
And the wedding was here.</i>

764
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,856
<i>And you two</i> <i>
were bridesmaids?</i>

765
00:49:06,944 --> 00:49:08,771
Margaret: <i>
Yeah, we, we, like,</i> <i>
sprinkled rose petals</i>

766
00:49:08,858 --> 00:49:10,382
<i>up the stairs on the way</i> <i>
to their bedroom.</i>

767
00:49:10,469 --> 00:49:12,166
<i>It was like a movie.</i>

768
00:49:16,649 --> 00:49:18,651
Hello?

769
00:49:18,738 --> 00:49:20,305
<i>Margaret Blair:
Hi, this is Margaret Blair.</i>

770
00:49:20,392 --> 00:49:22,307
<i>I'm calling to speak</i> <i>
with the DA.</i>

771
00:49:22,394 --> 00:49:25,049
Um, I'm Freda Black.
I'm an ADA here.

772
00:49:25,136 --> 00:49:26,833
Margaret Blair: <i>
I'm sorry to be</i> <i>
calling so late,</i>

773
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,791
but I've been speaking
with God,

774
00:49:28,878 --> 00:49:31,925
and he will not allow me
to stay silent any longer.

775
00:49:32,012 --> 00:49:34,145
<i>"Speak, Margaret, speak,"</i> <i>
He said.</i>

776
00:49:34,232 --> 00:49:36,669
I'm sorry.
Who did you say was calling?

777
00:49:36,756 --> 00:49:39,715
Margaret Blair.
Liz Ratliff's sister.

778
00:49:39,802 --> 00:49:41,761
<i>Martha and Margie</i> <i>
are my nieces.</i>

779
00:49:41,848 --> 00:49:44,459
<i>I need to tell you</i> <i>
about their mother's death.</i>

780
00:49:44,546 --> 00:49:49,116
You found another woman
at the bottom of the stairs?

781
00:49:49,203 --> 00:49:50,944
Liz had been complaining
for weeks.

782
00:49:51,031 --> 00:49:53,207
For weeks about these,
these migraines she was having.

783
00:49:53,294 --> 00:49:55,296
David:
What the fuck, Mike?
We're four weeks out!

784
00:49:55,383 --> 00:49:56,994
How could you not tell me?

785
00:49:57,081 --> 00:50:00,345
It was 20 years ago!
In Germany!

786
00:50:00,432 --> 00:50:03,043
Why would I,
why would I even think of it?

787
00:50:03,130 --> 00:50:05,176
I was helping her out with
something or other that night,

788
00:50:05,263 --> 00:50:07,613
I don't remember what,
but I left Liz

789
00:50:07,700 --> 00:50:10,181
very much alive
and on her way to bed.

790
00:50:10,268 --> 00:50:13,793
The next morning,
the girls' nanny, Agnes,

791
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,404
woke us up...

792
00:50:16,491 --> 00:50:18,885
to tell us she'd found Liz
at the bottom of the stairs.

793
00:50:18,972 --> 00:50:20,800
Patty: The Ratliffs
were practically family.

794
00:50:20,887 --> 00:50:22,062
We taught at the same school.

795
00:50:22,149 --> 00:50:23,585
That's it!

796
00:50:23,672 --> 00:50:26,371
Liz's autopsy.
It's all there.

797
00:50:26,458 --> 00:50:28,634
Margaret Blair: <i>
Look, I told you,</i> <i>
this can't be a coincidence.</i>

798
00:50:28,721 --> 00:50:31,680
<i>I know that he raised you,</i> <i>
but he is not good.</i>

799
00:50:31,767 --> 00:50:34,379
That's our dad!
You can say those things!

800
00:50:34,466 --> 00:50:36,381
He's very manipulative, Margaret.

801
00:50:38,296 --> 00:50:40,515
I haven't even told you half
of what we know about Germany.

802
00:50:40,602 --> 00:50:42,430
I can't talk
to you anymore. Goodbye.

803
00:50:42,517 --> 00:50:44,041
Margaret Blair: <i>
Beware of false prophets who--</i>

804
00:50:45,781 --> 00:50:48,088
Martha:
Jesus Christ...

805
00:50:48,175 --> 00:50:50,482
She's crazy.

806
00:50:52,832 --> 00:50:55,356
Martha: It is kind of
a weird coincidence

807
00:50:55,443 --> 00:50:59,012
we've had two moms die
at the bottom of the stairs.

808
00:51:04,844 --> 00:51:06,411
So what are you saying?

809
00:51:10,676 --> 00:51:12,504
I'm not saying anything.
I'm just...

810
00:51:14,114 --> 00:51:15,420
We just haven't talked
about it.

811
00:51:15,507 --> 00:51:17,074
Don't freak out on me.

812
00:51:19,728 --> 00:51:22,514
So you think
there's some connection?

813
00:51:22,601 --> 00:51:25,212
I can see why
Aunt Margaret's suspicious.

814
00:51:25,299 --> 00:51:27,519
Mom died of a brain aneurysm

815
00:51:27,606 --> 00:51:28,955
which caused her
to fall down the stairs.

816
00:51:29,042 --> 00:51:30,609
It was an accident.

817
00:51:30,696 --> 00:51:31,871
The same way
Kathleen was an accident.

818
00:51:31,958 --> 00:51:33,133
Yes, exactly.

819
00:51:33,220 --> 00:51:35,179
And, like, isn't that weird?

820
00:51:35,266 --> 00:51:36,702
All of it's weird.

821
00:51:36,789 --> 00:51:39,618
Our dad died
mysteriously in Panama.

822
00:51:39,705 --> 00:51:42,055
In fact, where was Mike
when 9/11 happened?

823
00:51:42,142 --> 00:51:44,536
Oh, stop it, you sound
fucking ridiculous.

824
00:51:44,623 --> 00:51:46,233
Well, you're starting
to sound like Caitlin.

825
00:51:47,974 --> 00:51:49,367
It's like you don't
even remember

826
00:51:49,454 --> 00:51:50,759
what happened
before Christmas.

827
00:51:50,846 --> 00:51:52,718
Yes, I do.

828
00:51:52,805 --> 00:51:56,852
And then Kathleen died.
And now we have to grow up.

829
00:51:56,939 --> 00:51:59,072
Dad has been there
for us always.

830
00:51:59,159 --> 00:52:01,466
He didn't have
to take us in, but he did.

831
00:52:01,553 --> 00:52:03,424
That's all that matters.

832
00:52:03,511 --> 00:52:07,428
So just stop questioning
everything. Just stop.

833
00:52:07,515 --> 00:52:09,300
I can't. Can't. I can't!

834
00:52:14,870 --> 00:52:16,829
David:
Was it strange for Mike

835
00:52:16,916 --> 00:52:19,005
to have been over
at Liz's without you?

836
00:52:19,092 --> 00:52:20,702
Oh no, not at all.

837
00:52:20,789 --> 00:52:22,661
After George died,
Liz needed a man

838
00:52:22,748 --> 00:52:24,010
to help around the house.

839
00:52:24,097 --> 00:52:25,751
David:
Well...

840
00:52:25,838 --> 00:52:27,927
The DA's going to suggest
some infidelity.

841
00:52:28,014 --> 00:52:29,581
You know that, right?

842
00:52:29,668 --> 00:52:31,017
Liz and I were good friends.
That's it.

843
00:52:31,104 --> 00:52:33,062
Patty:
Under no circumstances

844
00:52:33,150 --> 00:52:36,327
would she put carnal desires
above our friendship.

845
00:52:36,414 --> 00:52:38,590
And as far as Michael's
impropriety, at the time,

846
00:52:38,677 --> 00:52:41,027
he was never very good
at hiding it.

847
00:52:41,114 --> 00:52:43,029
I didn't sleep with Liz.

848
00:52:44,161 --> 00:52:45,771
This is all
in German, Mike.

849
00:52:45,858 --> 00:52:47,338
Michael: Patty can
translate it for you.

850
00:52:47,425 --> 00:52:49,209
It says what
I've already told you.

851
00:52:49,296 --> 00:52:52,169
Liz Ratliff died of a,
of a brain aneurysm.

852
00:52:52,256 --> 00:52:55,128
We'll, um, get
a court-certified translator

853
00:52:55,215 --> 00:52:56,956
and turn it all over
to the DA.

854
00:52:57,043 --> 00:52:59,306
We don't want to look like
we're hiding anything.

855
00:52:59,393 --> 00:53:00,655
Well, I'm not.

856
00:53:03,223 --> 00:53:06,792
I'm going to need to speak
with the girls, uh, privately.

857
00:53:06,879 --> 00:53:09,142
- Michael: By all means.
- No cameras, please.

858
00:53:09,229 --> 00:53:12,145
Mike, can you please.

859
00:53:12,232 --> 00:53:15,279
Thanks. I'll come get you
when this is over.

860
00:53:19,848 --> 00:53:21,328
The girls knew?

861
00:53:22,764 --> 00:53:25,419
Not just about the aneurysm,
but the stairs?

862
00:53:27,508 --> 00:53:29,728
It's essential you're honest
with me right now.

863
00:53:31,469 --> 00:53:32,644
Ask them.

864
00:53:39,303 --> 00:53:40,739
Hey, girls!

865
00:53:44,264 --> 00:53:45,787
David:
It must feel surreal

866
00:53:47,136 --> 00:53:48,703
you're getting
pulled into this.

867
00:53:50,879 --> 00:53:54,448
Look, the most important thing
to me is the truth.

868
00:53:54,535 --> 00:53:57,973
And if there's anything
you want to say

869
00:53:58,060 --> 00:53:59,453
about your mother's death...

870
00:54:00,585 --> 00:54:02,674
anything at all,

871
00:54:02,761 --> 00:54:04,241
now's the time to say it.

872
00:54:06,460 --> 00:54:08,070
Wait, which mom's death?

873
00:54:11,509 --> 00:54:13,554
Liz mom.

874
00:54:13,641 --> 00:54:15,077
Your biological mother.

875
00:54:26,088 --> 00:54:28,308
Hey, Mike.

876
00:54:28,395 --> 00:54:30,963
Everything checks out.
I'll stick around
in case you need me.

877
00:54:42,888 --> 00:54:44,672
You girls okay?

878
00:54:49,547 --> 00:54:51,070
It's us against them.

879
00:54:52,637 --> 00:54:54,595
And they're, uh,
clearly willing to go

880
00:54:54,682 --> 00:54:56,684
as low as possible to hurt us.

881
00:54:56,771 --> 00:54:57,903
And we can't let them.

882
00:55:00,819 --> 00:55:03,082
There are no secrets
between us anymore.

883
00:55:20,752 --> 00:55:22,797
Rudolph's already
filing a motion

884
00:55:22,884 --> 00:55:25,409
to keep Liz Ratliff out.

885
00:55:25,496 --> 00:55:27,324
We can argue the 404

886
00:55:27,411 --> 00:55:29,021
Oh yeah.
Come on in.

887
00:55:35,462 --> 00:55:39,248
I was just thinking
about these two girls.

888
00:55:44,079 --> 00:55:45,603
How are yours doing?

889
00:55:45,690 --> 00:55:47,126
Oh, they're good.

890
00:55:49,171 --> 00:55:50,869
I've been teasing 'em.

891
00:55:50,956 --> 00:55:52,740
They've been eating
so much mac and cheese

892
00:55:52,827 --> 00:55:54,829
that, that their hair
is going to get curly.

893
00:55:58,050 --> 00:55:59,878
- Never heard of that.
- Mm-hmm.

894
00:56:01,836 --> 00:56:03,621
Jim: Hmm.

895
00:56:03,708 --> 00:56:05,144
They're with Van this week.

896
00:56:09,061 --> 00:56:10,367
Uh-huh.

897
00:56:11,846 --> 00:56:13,195
Uh, put him through.

898
00:56:15,850 --> 00:56:17,243
Duane, what you got?

899
00:56:17,330 --> 00:56:19,027
Peterson was standing
over her

900
00:56:19,114 --> 00:56:20,551
when he beat her.

901
00:56:20,638 --> 00:56:21,943
The speck of blood
on the inside

902
00:56:22,030 --> 00:56:23,336
of his shorts?

903
00:56:23,423 --> 00:56:24,946
The blood flew upwards.

904
00:56:25,033 --> 00:56:26,557
And that was the last piece.

905
00:56:26,644 --> 00:56:28,950
We've managed to replicate
this crime scene

906
00:56:29,037 --> 00:56:31,257
to a tee with the blow poke.

907
00:56:31,344 --> 00:56:33,172
You got yourself
a murder weapon, sir.

908
00:56:33,259 --> 00:56:35,522
<i>I'm looking forward</i> <i>
to testifying for you.</i>

909
00:56:35,609 --> 00:56:37,045
Great work, Duane.

910
00:56:37,132 --> 00:56:39,439
Hot damn.
Uh, send that report.

911
00:56:42,181 --> 00:56:43,443
I knew it.

912
00:56:47,926 --> 00:56:49,580
I could feel it in my gut.

913
00:57:01,983 --> 00:57:03,942
I never told you this before,

914
00:57:04,029 --> 00:57:06,684
but, um...

915
00:57:06,771 --> 00:57:09,426
I lost my brother
and sisters in a house fire

916
00:57:09,513 --> 00:57:11,950
when I was 13.

917
00:57:12,037 --> 00:57:13,647
Jack was ten

918
00:57:13,734 --> 00:57:17,042
and my two little sisters...

919
00:57:17,129 --> 00:57:18,478
they were even younger.

920
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:22,395
Sophie-Anne and Mary.

921
00:57:26,965 --> 00:57:28,270
I got out.

922
00:57:29,881 --> 00:57:32,274
But... they didn't.

923
00:57:34,146 --> 00:57:36,061
I'm so sorry, Jim.

924
00:57:37,541 --> 00:57:39,978
Terrible things just happen.

925
00:57:40,065 --> 00:57:41,545
You know.

926
00:57:45,113 --> 00:57:48,334
Innocent children
can burn up in a fire.

927
00:57:55,210 --> 00:57:57,909
And women can trip
and fall down the stairs

928
00:57:57,996 --> 00:57:59,040
for no reason.

929
00:58:03,915 --> 00:58:05,177
They can.

930
00:58:10,835 --> 00:58:12,053
Start filing a motion.

931
00:58:13,185 --> 00:58:16,188
We're gonna have to dig her up.

932
00:58:16,275 --> 00:58:19,496
Freda:
We'll need permission
from next of kin.

933
00:58:19,583 --> 00:58:21,193
The girls could say no.

934
00:58:22,324 --> 00:58:23,500
They could.

935
00:58:25,632 --> 00:58:27,852
If they find out she died
of natural causes,

936
00:58:27,939 --> 00:58:29,767
like the original
autopsy said...

937
00:58:31,203 --> 00:58:32,944
it's gonna look bad for us.

938
00:58:34,119 --> 00:58:35,512
Maybe.

939
00:58:40,255 --> 00:58:42,344
Or maybe we all
find out the truth.

940
00:58:46,131 --> 00:58:48,612
Let the games begin.

941
00:58:48,699 --> 00:58:51,789
"To the esteemed lawyers
who are pursuing the prosecution

942
00:58:51,876 --> 00:58:54,008
"of our father,
Michael Peterson.

943
00:58:54,095 --> 00:58:55,749
"we are writing to convey

944
00:58:55,836 --> 00:58:58,056
"our feelings of distress
in this matter.

945
00:58:58,143 --> 00:59:00,624
"However, seeing that
you have no compassion

946
00:59:00,711 --> 00:59:02,451
"for the memory of our mother,

947
00:59:02,539 --> 00:59:04,758
"we reluctantly consent
to your request

948
00:59:04,845 --> 00:59:06,717
"to exhume
our mother's body.

949
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:11,722
"We are confident
that you will conclude

950
00:59:11,809 --> 00:59:14,551
"what experts concluded
almost 20 years ago,

951
00:59:14,638 --> 00:59:19,294
"that our mother died
of a brain aneurysm

952
00:59:19,381 --> 00:59:21,035
"and that our father,
Michael Peterson,

953
00:59:21,122 --> 00:59:24,256
"will be vindicated
of these outrageous claims.

954
00:59:24,343 --> 00:59:27,346
Sincerely yours,
Margaret and Martha Ratliff."

955
00:59:30,044 --> 00:59:31,480
Michael:
Thank you.

956
00:59:32,481 --> 00:59:34,353
Of course, Dad. Anything.

957
01:00:20,747 --> 01:00:22,227
Man:
Hold the door, please.

958
01:00:48,906 --> 01:00:52,257
You're going to be smiling
in prison soon, you prick.

959
01:01:35,430 --> 01:01:36,997
Bailiff:
All rise.

960
01:01:40,261 --> 01:01:42,089
Oyez, oyez, oyez.

961
01:01:42,176 --> 01:01:44,178
This honorable court
for the County of Durham

962
01:01:44,265 --> 01:01:47,486
is now open and sitting for
the dispatch of its business.

963
01:01:47,573 --> 01:01:50,837
The Honorable
Judge Orlando Hudson presiding.

964
01:01:50,924 --> 01:01:53,666
God save the state
and this honorable court.

965
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,149
You may be seated.

966
01:01:58,236 --> 01:02:00,368
- And good morning.
- All: Good morning, Your Honor.

967
01:02:00,455 --> 01:02:02,066
This court is now prepared
to hear the case

968
01:02:02,153 --> 01:02:04,459
of the state versus
Michael Iver Peterson.

969
01:02:04,546 --> 01:02:07,593
Mr. Hardin, you may proceed
with your opening.

970
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:08,986
Thank you, Your Honor.

971
01:02:21,302 --> 01:02:22,826
Good morning.

972
01:02:22,913 --> 01:02:25,611
In a very real sense,

973
01:02:25,698 --> 01:02:27,831
this case is about pretense

974
01:02:27,918 --> 01:02:29,441
and appearances.

975
01:02:31,312 --> 01:02:34,098
It's about things
not being as they seem.

976
01:02:36,404 --> 01:02:39,233
Man: <i>
