00:08:29All right, Frank, I brought you some magazines.
00:08:39All right, Frank.
00:08:40You expect me to be entertained with these two-year-old magazines and the people's court?
00:08:49Oh, thank you, Frank.
00:08:50Oh, thank you, Frank, I brought you here, Frank, I brought you a muffin.

00:09:10I've proven you had to figure out what you're in the same home, but it makes it a surprise, and I'll search for an interview with them.
00:09:14I forgot.
00:09:15It's okay.
00:09:17You didn't bring the checkers?
00:09:20No, I didn't today.
00:09:24I did bring you this, though.
00:09:25I thought you might want to know.
00:09:28What's this?
00:09:33I can't believe it, the poor bastard.
00:09:37Suicide.
00:09:38Suicide.
00:09:44Have you talked to him lately?
00:09:46Well, he did call me about a year ago to ask how I was and sent me the book.
00:09:52Did he call you?
00:09:53No, not since the trial.
00:09:58The funeral's tomorrow, so...
00:10:02Are you going?
00:10:04Come on, it's been five years.
00:10:08Do you think the others will be there?
00:10:12I don't know, maybe.
00:10:15Seems like only yesterday.
00:10:18Our brush with history.
00:10:20You know, some things history should forget.
00:10:23You should try reading that.
00:10:25I prefer to keep the past where it is.
00:10:29Listen, when you get to be as old as I am,
00:10:33the past is all you got.
00:10:36Gotta get going.
00:10:39So soon you just came.
00:10:42I have a lot of painting to catch up on.
00:10:45You have to go.
00:10:46I do, but I promise you I will bring checkers next time.
00:10:51Listen, you take care, huh?
00:10:54Well, you too.
00:10:56You be nice to her.
00:10:59Hey, Bill.
00:10:59Yeah, it won't take very much time.
00:11:16I just need someone to take a look at the door.
00:11:17Maybe it needs a new doorknob.
00:11:19Well, um, yeah.
00:11:22And then can somebody also check the wiring in the kitchen?
00:11:25The TV literally turned itself on today.
00:11:28Thanks.
00:11:30Oscar?
00:11:32Okay, thanks.
00:11:33Bye.
00:11:33Bye.
00:11:34Oscar.
00:11:34Oscar?
00:12:01Oscar?
00:12:02Oscar?
00:12:12Oscar?
00:12:18Come here, boy.
00:12:24Oscar?
00:12:26What are you doing?
00:12:27Oh, do that again, it's dry dog food.
00:12:34Oh, why you scare me like that?
00:12:50They are not dead, who leave us this great inheritance
00:12:55for remembering joy.
00:12:58They still live in our hearts,
00:13:01in the happiness we knew
00:13:02and the dreams we shared.
00:13:07They still breathe
00:13:08in the lingering fragrance, windblown
00:13:11from their favorite flower.
00:13:14They still smile
00:13:15in the moonlight silver, and they laugh.
00:13:20They still speak
00:13:20in the echoes of the words
00:13:23we've heard them say again
00:13:25and again.
00:13:27They still move
00:13:28in the rhythm
00:13:30of waving grasses
00:13:32and the dance
00:13:34of billowing branches.
00:13:38They are not
00:13:39apart from us.
00:13:42They are a part of us,
00:13:44for love
00:13:45is eternal.
00:13:47Miss Price?
00:14:01Detective Michael Lyons, homicide.
00:14:03Got a second to talk about Nathan?
00:14:05Homicide?
00:14:06I thought the papers said
00:14:07that he killed himself.
00:14:08Papers say a lot of things.
00:14:10He had a chart
00:14:11on the wall of his apartment,
00:14:12all the jurors
00:14:13from the midnight trial.
00:14:14He did write a book.
00:14:15So you're saying
00:14:16you hadn't had
00:14:17any communication with him?
00:14:18Not in five years.
00:14:20Why'd you come to his funeral?
00:14:22Detective,
00:14:23what are you trying to ask me?
00:14:24I was just wondering,
00:14:25of the 12 names,
00:14:27why yours was the only one circled?
00:14:31I just want to go home.
00:14:35When you feel up to it.
00:14:36I don't know.
00:14:36I don't know.
00:14:45I don't know.
00:15:10I don't know.
00:15:11I don't know.
00:15:41I don't know.
00:16:11Good morning, Frank.
00:16:34Time to rise and shine.
00:16:49Oh, Frank.
00:16:50How many times have I told you, close this window, you're going to catch a cold?
00:16:54Frank.
00:17:02We were on a jury together five years ago.
00:17:07Frank and I stayed in touch on and off.
00:17:09When he had a stroke, I...
00:17:11I really...
00:17:14You know, I tried to visit him as often as I could.
00:17:17I have his things here.
00:17:23He had no next of kin.
00:17:25Would you like to feed my birds?
00:17:37No, thank you.
00:17:39He's dead.
00:17:41They were late with the medicines this morning.
00:17:43They're never late with the medicines.
00:17:45His visitor will not be happy.
00:17:52I asked him to keep their voices down.
00:17:54I was trying to sleep.
00:17:56It was so late.
00:17:58What visitor?
00:17:59It's a big one.
00:18:01Oh, he's very hungry, aren't you, Bella?
00:18:06So many evil.
00:18:07What was that?
00:18:12I asked him to keep their voices down.
00:18:15I was trying to sleep.
00:18:19Would you like to feed my birds?
00:18:27Just as I thought.
00:18:28You're the only visitor listed.
00:18:32So it isn't possible for anyone else to have gotten in?
00:18:35Not after hours?
00:18:36We locked the doors at 9 o'clock sharp.
00:18:39For the safety of our residents, of course.
00:18:42Anyone who doesn't have a key card.
00:18:47Oh, my God.
00:18:52Pull it, would you?
00:18:53Knock it off.
00:19:06I had Parker slipped in the results of your friend's autopsy.
00:19:15Blunt force trauma.
00:19:18Sustained on impact.
00:19:20No contusions or defensive wounds found.
00:19:23What about the computer?
00:19:25Our drive was ionized.
00:19:28Heads crashed.
00:19:28What could have caused that?
00:19:31Judging from the burn marks on the internal suppressor, I'd say, uh...
00:19:35Power search?
00:19:38Power search.
00:19:39Look, Mike, uh...
00:19:39I know it was your buddy, but, uh...
00:19:42You seen the kid's file.
00:19:44I searched that place from top to bottom.
00:19:46Parole violations.
00:19:47DUIs.
00:19:48And I couldn't even find a goddamn bottle of cough syrup.
00:19:51Court-ordered rehab.
00:19:53It's just a matter of time.
00:19:57You need to take a step back, brah.
00:19:59You're getting a little too close to this thing.
00:20:01Phone call for you, Mike.
00:20:02On three.
00:20:03Take a message.
00:20:05It's Laura Price.
00:20:07Thanks.
00:20:08Detective Lyons?
00:20:14No.
00:20:15I hadn't heard.
00:20:17Okay.
00:20:18I'm on my way.
00:20:20What's up?
00:20:21That was a woman from the midnight jury.
00:20:23The one I spoke to after the funeral.
00:20:25And?
00:20:27Another juror was found dead.
00:20:38I told Miss Price.
00:20:40We locked the doors at 9 sharp.
00:20:42After that, no one comes in or out.
00:20:46That's Frank's room in the back.
00:20:49Would you mind fast-forwarding?
00:21:03What was that?
00:21:05It's an old system.
00:21:06That happens all the time.
00:21:09Can I get a copy of this?
00:21:11Yeah, sure.
00:21:12Sure.
00:21:12Sure.
00:21:36Oh, Lord, we'll commit the body of this child to our safety.
00:21:40The eternal flight.
00:21:41We'll do to...
00:21:42No.
00:21:43It's the next time.
00:21:43Bye.
00:21:43Bye.
00:21:44Bye.
00:21:44Bye.
00:21:51Bye.
00:21:57Bye.
00:21:57Bye.
00:21:58Bye.
00:22:06Bye.
00:22:08Hi.
00:22:32Are you hungry?
00:22:36I'm hungry, too.
00:22:37Come on, let's go.
00:22:52Oscar?
00:23:06I'm hungry.
00:23:36I'm hungry.
00:24:06Hold on.
00:24:25Sorry, there's no vacancies.
00:24:28No, I'm not here to rent an apartment.
00:24:30I'm here to see a friend's place.
00:24:32Okay, now, the call box is right over there.
00:24:40I'm here to see the Pilarda's apartment.
00:24:43Okay, I'm going to tell you the same thing that I told everyone else.
00:24:47I'm not letting anyone into his apartment, okay?
00:24:50Um, I'm not a reporter, okay?
00:24:55Hold on.
00:25:02Please, just five minutes.
00:25:07I'm not a reporter, please.
00:25:37I'm not a reporter, please.
00:26:07I don't know.
00:26:37I don't know.
00:27:07The execution of Evan Lucas took place at 12.01 a.m. December 30th.
00:27:16I begin my second book covering the investigation of the midnight case.
00:27:20I saw it again this afternoon.
00:27:27It seems to be stalking me wherever I go.
00:27:29Oh, boy.
00:27:59I want to know what you heard in Frank's room.
00:28:17Well, have you brought any bread for my birds?
00:28:20No, this isn't about the birds.
00:28:21We need to talk about Frank.
00:28:23I don't know any Frank.
00:28:25Frank, he lived next door to you.
00:28:27He passed away two nights ago.
00:28:28Please, I don't.
00:28:29Please.
00:28:30You said you heard talking.
00:28:32My birds have never hurt anyone.
00:28:34So many evils.
00:28:35What does it mean?
00:28:36I need to know.
00:28:37Excuse me, ma'am.
00:28:43A word, please.
00:28:46A word.
00:28:47Our residents are nearing the end of their lives.
00:28:51They are tired and they are confused.
00:28:53She was not confused.
00:28:55I am sure that Miss McCarthy thought that she heard something.
00:28:59She did hear something.
00:29:00However, I will not allow you to continue to upset the residents.
00:29:05Fine.
00:29:06Just let me talk to her one more time.
00:29:07I am sorry, Miss Price.
00:29:09That is not going to happen.
00:29:11I need you to go.
00:29:15Now.
00:29:17I'm sorry.

00:36:00What?
00:36:01We're having some people over to the house.
00:36:03If you'd like to pay your respects.
00:36:08Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, um, what's the address?
00:36:12Hi.
00:36:14Hi.
00:36:16Welcome. Thanks for coming.
00:36:25I can't believe she killed herself.
00:36:35I can't believe she killed herself.
00:36:48What's going to happen to her son?
00:36:51Yeah, the family.
00:36:52This is going to be interesting.
00:36:54I can't believe she killed herself.
00:36:55I can't believe she killed herself.
00:36:56I can't believe she killed herself.
00:36:57I can't believe she killed herself.
00:36:58I can't believe she killed herself.
00:36:59I can't believe she killed herself.
00:37:00I can't believe she killed herself.
00:37:01I can't believe she killed herself.
00:37:02I can't believe she killed herself.
00:37:03I can't believe she killed herself.
00:37:04I can't believe she killed herself.
00:37:05I can't believe she killed herself.
00:37:06I can't believe she killed herself.
00:38:07She's with them now.
00:38:30You're next.
00:38:35You're next.
00:39:05You're next.
00:39:35Two, three, four...
00:39:51They're dying in order.
00:39:52Every three days.
00:39:53This is 3,000 miles away.
00:39:57I know.
00:39:57But I'm juror number five, so let's just pretend it might not be a coincidence.
00:40:02What do you mean it might not be a coincidence?
00:40:04Sonia said that she felt like she was being watched, and the woman from the nursing home said that she heard somebody talking to Frank the night he died.
00:40:13We watched the security tape together.
00:40:17Yeah, I know.
00:40:18And we didn't see anything.
00:40:19Well, nothing physical.
00:40:22Look.
00:40:24What if...
00:40:25What if he's back?
00:40:28Who?
00:40:29The midnight murderer.
00:40:31What if he's back?
00:40:32What if he's back?
00:40:32What if he's back?
00:40:34What if he's back?
00:40:35What if he's back?
00:40:35What if he's back?
00:40:36What if he's back?
00:40:36Evan Lucas is dead.
00:40:3820 people saw him executed.
00:40:40I know.
00:40:41Trust me.
00:40:41I know.
00:40:42I know.
00:40:44What if...
00:40:45What if somehow...
00:40:47Somehow his spirit is trying to kill the people that are responsible for his execution?
00:40:52I promise you I'm on top of this.
00:40:58Nothing's gonna happen to you, okay?
00:41:00I'll have Marin PD put somebody in front of your house 24-7.
00:41:05All right.
00:41:06Can I get you an escort home?
00:41:10Um, no.
00:41:14Um, I'll just wait for your call.
00:41:19Thanks.
00:41:22We're closing in 15 minutes.
00:41:33Do you have any books on the supernatural?
00:41:35Spirits, entities, anything like that?
00:41:37Downstairs, A-14.
00:41:39Thanks.
00:41:4015 minutes.
00:41:41Professor Mylene Wolfe, San Francisco College.
00:42:10I think they're closing.
00:42:33Car accident.
00:43:00Heart attack.
00:43:00Two confirmed suicides.
00:43:02And you think someone actually killed these people?
00:43:04You were a detective in the Midnight Case.
00:43:07If you're asking me if I believe in ghosts, the answer is no.
00:43:10What about copycats?
00:43:11It's a five-year anniversary.
00:43:13What if someone's trying to make a name for themselves?
00:43:16Mike.
00:43:16Four jurors, John.
00:43:18Maybe we should take a closer look.
00:43:20Our subject, a 45-year-old woman from Lake Charles, Louisiana, had noticed a strange glare in photographs that she had taken inside the home, as you can see here.
00:43:37That strange shape kept appearing in photo, after photo, after photo, but only in photographs that she had taken inside of her home.
00:43:49After she emailed me these, I decided to apply levels of spectral imaging to see if I could discern anything from the images.
00:43:58In each photo, the phenomena was indicating a particular point in the house.
00:44:03It turns out that the subject's husband had died two months prior, and when she took a closer look, she found this.
00:44:10Unable to properly communicate his farewell to her in person, he'd written to her a message and left it here for her to find.
00:44:21Lights, please.
00:44:23I want all of you to think of ghosts as remnants, shadows left behind by the recently departed.
00:44:31And if you open your mind just a little, you'll find that they have something to say.
00:44:36Oh, and don't forget to read Chapter 6 for next time, please. Thank you.
00:44:48Professor Wolfe?
00:44:50Yes.
00:44:51Hi, I'm Laura Price.
00:44:52Hi.
00:44:53I was hoping you'd give me a few moments of your time.
00:44:56So, the other juror in the case experienced this phenomena as well?
00:45:00Yeah, she was convinced that it was the killer's spirit, that he's angry for what we did.
00:45:06People want to believe in the supernatural.
00:45:10They buy my books, they take my class, and I've made a good living.
00:45:14But I'm going to be completely honest with you.
00:45:1699% of the hauntings that I've investigated can be explained scientifically.
00:45:23How?
00:45:24Well, there was a laboratory in Oxford.
00:45:27Supposedly, it was haunted.
00:45:28But they found out that their equipment was emitting an ultra-low frequency capable of resonating in the human eye.
00:45:36The apparition was nothing but an optical illusion caused by infrasonic vibrations.
00:45:42Okay, what about the 1%?
00:45:47What about the 1% that can't be explained?
00:45:50Please, there's got to be something I can do.
00:45:53The entities are trapped here because they want something.
00:45:57They need something before they can move on.
00:46:00Maybe if you find out what that is, you'll be able to release it.
00:46:03Well, what if my aunt's teeth, what if he wants to hurt me?
00:46:24What did you find?
00:46:26What if my aunt's teeth, what if my aunt's teeth, what if my aunt's teeth are at?
00:46:49Hmm.
00:46:50Hmm.
00:46:50Hmm.
00:46:53Hmm.
00:46:54Hmm.
00:46:55Hmm.
00:46:55Hmm.
00:46:56Hmm.
00:46:56St. John's Hospital. May I help you?
00:47:02Um...
00:47:03Um...
00:47:04I need a doctor over here. Get him into 140. Excuse me, does Wilson Miller still work here?
00:47:32No, you're gonna have to wait. We're a few hands short. Get some Haldol over there!
00:47:39Just have a seat over here. I'll see what I can...
00:47:45Ms. Miller?
00:47:46Ma'am, we're a little busy.
00:47:48It's about Evan.
00:47:53Thanks for sitting down with me.
00:47:55I remember you from the trial.
00:47:59You sat in the front row, second from the left, always taking notes.
00:48:05You were pregnant.
00:48:08I heard about Nathan Pilardus. I couldn't believe it.
00:48:14He was the foreman and the jury that convicted your boyfriend.
00:48:19You can't tell me that it wasn't a little part of you that was pleased.
00:48:24I never blamed any of you.
00:48:30Melissa...
00:48:34There's gotta be over 20 calls in here between you and Nathan right before he died.
00:48:42What's this about?
00:48:44He reached out to me.
00:48:46Why?
00:48:47He wanted to know about Evan.
00:48:52About our relationship. How we met.
00:48:56The sorts of things we used to do together.
00:48:59Melissa, I know this might be really difficult, but...
00:49:04It would be really helpful if you could tell me everything you told Nathan. Okay?
00:49:09I told him we met at the store.
00:49:15Where he worked.
00:49:18I was trying to paint one of my sister's bedrooms.
00:49:21She had a baby on the way and...
00:49:23I remember she wanted this very particular shade of blue.
00:49:27I was there, you know.
00:49:33When they put the needle in his arm.
00:49:37I watched the chemicals pumping through the IV knowing it was gonna kill him.
00:49:44In those final moments he looked up at me.
00:49:47Through the glass.
00:49:51And he blew me a kiss.
00:49:57I miss him.
00:49:59I miss him so much.
00:50:01Melissa, do you remember...
00:50:04His last words?
00:50:09He said...
00:50:12If there is a God...
00:50:15Whence proceeds so many evils.
00:50:18There is no God...
00:50:20Whence cometh any good.
00:50:21Bothias?
00:50:22There is a God whence precedes so many evils,
00:50:28but there is no God whence cometh any good.
00:50:34Both of us?
00:50:48A Roman philosopher was wrongfully imprisoned and sentenced to death.
00:50:52I was wrongfully imprisoned.
00:50:56I was wrongfully imprisoned.
00:51:00I was wrongfully imprisoned.
00:51:04I was wrongfully imprisoned.
00:51:06I don't know.
00:51:36I don't know.
00:52:06I don't know.
00:52:36I don't know.
00:53:06I don't know.
00:53:36I don't know.
00:53:37I don't know.
00:53:38I don't know.
00:53:39I don't know.
00:53:40I don't know.
00:53:41I don't know.
00:53:43I don't know.
00:53:45Hey, there's a lady here to see you.
00:53:48Uh, Lynn, uh, Lacey?
00:53:51Laura.
00:53:52Yeah.
00:53:53That's it.
00:53:54Hey, you coming back?
00:54:02You want me to close out your session?
00:54:22Hey.
00:54:24There's years' worth of research in here.
00:54:27I want to retrace Nathan's steps.
00:54:29I want to interview anyone and everyone
00:54:31who ever testified in this trial.
00:54:32I can't just reopen this case.
00:54:34Why?
00:54:35What if Nathan was on to something?
00:54:37What if something didn't add up?
00:54:38I think that's why he circled my name,
00:54:40because I was the only one who questioned anything
00:54:42during that trial.
00:54:43But ultimately, you chose guilty.
00:54:47Yeah, I know.
00:54:49What if...
00:54:54What if we were wrong?
00:54:58What if we convicted the wrong man?
00:55:04Are you okay?
00:55:06Do you really think clearing Evan's name will save your life?
00:55:16I know that it sounds crazy, but...
00:55:20Yeah, I do.
00:55:21Let's go.
00:55:27Everybody loved him.
00:55:28He was always very helpful.
00:55:29He was probably one of my best employees.
00:55:31How long did Evan work for you?
00:55:34About three years, I'd say.
00:55:36He started off as a clerk,
00:55:38and then he worked his way on up to assistant manager.
00:55:40Mr. Harris?
00:55:41Have you seen those spinner blades that came in this morning?
00:55:43I sure have.
00:55:44Did you check out three?
00:55:45Thanks.
00:55:46Okay.
00:55:47The shipment of the murder weapon was traced back to this store.
00:55:50Yeah, it was a three-inch Healy fisherman.
00:55:53We still carry those.
00:55:54I'll show you.
00:55:56We go through about a case of those a month.
00:55:58Collectors, fishermen.
00:55:59Heck, we even got a guy over in Sausalito.
00:56:01This guy, he can carve your initials right there in the tooth.
00:56:04You believe that?
00:56:05Wow.
00:56:12Did Evan have access to that key?
00:56:14All my employees do.
00:56:18Healy three-inch fisherman.
00:56:19There it is.
00:56:21This case is spotless.
00:56:25How often would you say you clean it?
00:56:26We clean this at least once a week.
00:56:28Pull the product out, wipe it down,
00:56:30and most importantly, make sure the blades are nice and shiny.
00:56:35Whose job would that be?
00:56:36That would be my assistant.
00:56:38So, it would have been Evan's job?
00:56:40At that time, yes, ma'am.
00:56:42So, if Evan cleaned the case.
00:56:43He'd have gotten his fingerprints on the knife.
00:56:47You were fishing off Duxbury Reef the day the midnight murderer dumped his last victim?
00:56:51Yeah.
00:56:52He took her over to the edge of the dock, dumped her body in the ocean.
00:56:55Says you were interviewed by the police for over five hours.
00:56:57Yeah.
00:56:58That one detective.
00:56:59The black guy, uh, Calloway.
00:57:01Calendar.
00:57:02Yeah.
00:57:03He was very thorough.
00:57:04Anyways, like he said in the stand, they found that poor girl's body wrapped in plastic.
00:57:09Exactly where I said it was.
00:57:10Is this what you were fishing the day you saw the killer?
00:57:13Yeah.
00:57:14Caught a couple monsters, too.
00:57:1625, 30 pounds.
00:57:17The trick is you put a sinker on the end of your line, gets right down in there.
00:57:21How far offshore would you say you were?
00:57:23I don't know.
00:57:24About a hundred feet.
00:57:26Yeah, that's weird.
00:57:28Why?
00:57:29Well, I used to fish with my dad when I was a little girl, and that, my friend, is cod.
00:57:34Yeah?
00:57:35And?
00:57:36And the schools concentrate out on the shelf, and that's no less than 700 feet away, wouldn't you say?
00:57:42Is that true?
00:57:45Look, I know what I saw.
00:57:50The guy was well-built, kind of tall.
00:57:52Did you actually see his face?
00:57:54Ask Calendar.
00:57:55I ID'd the photo.
00:57:57What color eyes did he have?
00:58:00Did you see what color his eyes were?
00:58:03Look, lady, I could never have seen that.
00:58:05Not even from a hundred feet away.
00:58:07Really?
00:58:08Because I remember you on the stand saying they were Hazel.
00:58:13Mark Gannon.
00:58:15That's a name I haven't heard in a while.
00:58:18Hey, why don't you guys come back in the cage?
00:58:21Yeah, he was transferred after his, uh, testimony at the midnight trial.
00:58:25Well, lucky him.
00:58:27Pleasant Valley down in Fresno.
00:58:29Yeah.
00:58:31There you go.
00:58:33Arrested for breaking and entering, assaulting battery, attempted murder.
00:58:42This guy gets a transfer.
00:58:44Says here he testified for the prosecution and four criminal trials in addition to the midnight case.
00:58:49Well, he's a real advocate for justice, isn't he?
00:58:52Well, these guys are locked up in cement boxes 23 hours a day.
00:58:56They start talking.
00:58:57Everyone does.
00:58:58Mark, uh, saw an opportunity.
00:59:01Would you, um, have his visitor log by chance?
00:59:05Yeah, I should.
00:59:07You think someone told Mark what to say in exchange for the transfer?
00:59:14Yeah, I do.
00:59:16Just like I think somebody told the fishermen what color Evan's eyes were.
00:59:20Well, you know, this is what frustrates me.
00:59:23What's that?
00:59:24The log.
00:59:25It's missing.
00:59:32So what do we have?
00:59:35Looks like a forensic investigator testified that Evan's prints were present on both the blade and the handle.
00:59:42Well, that could have happened at the store.
00:59:44Yeah, but according to Nathan's notes, there were also several partial prints that were never matched.
00:59:51That wasn't in the forensic testimony.
00:59:53Mm-hmm.
00:59:54Including one on one of the bags pulled out of the landfill.
00:59:58And one more thing.
01:00:00Evan's girlfriend told Nathan the police served a search warrant at their apartment, took several items with them,
01:00:05except there's no reference to anything in the evidence log.
01:00:08They just disappeared.
01:00:12Wow.
01:00:14They covered it up?
01:00:16Yeah.
01:00:17Can you imagine?
01:00:18Being convicted?
01:00:19Being executed for something you didn't do?
01:00:20Evan's put to death.
01:00:21But prosecutor Charles Richardson is serving his second term as DA.
01:00:22If it were me, I'd want revenge.
01:00:23Tomorrow's day three.
01:00:24What am I gonna do?
01:00:25What am I gonna do?
01:00:26We're gonna finish this.
01:00:27We're gonna finish this.
01:00:28We're gonna finish this.
01:00:29Bye.
01:00:30Bye.
01:00:31Bye.
01:00:32Bye.
01:00:33Bye.
01:00:34Bye.
01:00:35Bye.
01:00:36Honeywell, I know him.
01:00:37Honeywell, are you alone?
01:00:38Honeywell, are you alone?
01:00:39Honeywell, are you alone?
01:00:40Well, lanka?
01:00:41We can't quit your pro stories finding out, but your plans were totally safe.
01:00:43Until the very topography, Charles Richardson is serving his second term as DA.
01:00:46If it were me, I'd want revenge.
01:00:47Tomorrow's day three.
01:00:49What am I gonna do?
01:00:50What are we going to do?
01:00:51We're gonna finish this.
01:01:04So what do you think?
01:01:06I worked for over a year on that case.
01:01:08Interviewed hundreds of witnesses.
01:01:10Dozens of suspects.
01:01:12You want to tell me what was so urgent
01:01:14you had to wake me up in the middle of the night?
01:01:20Look, I'm obviously not a detective.
01:01:22No.
01:01:24You have a witness who clearly lied about what he saw.
01:01:28Partial prints on the murder weapon
01:01:30that weren't even accurately examined
01:01:32evidence that just kind of
01:01:34disappeared.
01:01:36And a jailhouse confession
01:01:38in which Lucas told his cellmate
01:01:40everything. How he chose his victims.
01:01:42Where he hid the bodies.
01:01:44You don't think Mark Gannon could have read
01:01:46that in the examiner?
01:01:48Including the details we didn't release to the public?
01:01:50You know, I don't mean any disrespect,
01:01:52detective.
01:01:54Did you actually
01:01:56interview Mr. Gannon yourself?
01:02:00Tell me she's not serious.
01:02:02Of course I did.
01:02:04Who's that before or after somebody told him what to say?
01:02:08Are you listening to that?
01:02:10Come on, John.
01:02:12You gotta admit there are a couple holes in the case.
01:02:14A couple? Come on.
01:02:16Midnight murderer had the whole city on edge.
01:02:18Every time you turned on the TV or
01:02:20opened a newspaper,
01:02:22we were pulling another body out of the bay.
01:02:24People were afraid to go outside.
01:02:26They stopped going to work.
01:02:28Kids stopped going to school.
01:02:30Was there pressure from the D.A. to wrap it up?
01:02:32Absolutely.
01:02:34But I cut a few corners, possibly.
01:02:36Before you come down on me,
01:02:38waking me up in my own home.
01:02:40You need to remember one thing.
01:02:42What's that?
01:02:44The moment we took Evan Lucas,
01:02:46put him into custody,
01:02:48the murder stopped.
01:02:50No.
01:02:52No.
01:02:54No, well you just tell them I'm not gonna budge.
01:02:56Not for that.
01:02:58No.
01:03:00No, they're gonna have to work a little bit harder.
01:03:02Sorry, that's the way it is.
01:03:04Charles.
01:03:06I'll call you back.
01:03:07Hey, John, good to see you.
01:03:08You too, buddy.
01:03:09We missed you at that fundraiser last month.
01:03:10Uh, yeah.
01:03:11Well, listen,
01:03:12I need to talk to you about Evan Lucas.
01:03:13Hey, I'm a busy man.
01:03:14You know what?
01:03:15Why don't you call Amy, set up a lunch,
01:03:16we'll go to Danko.
01:03:17You like that, pal?
01:03:18No, no, no.
01:03:19I mean, now.
01:03:20Now?
01:03:21Now.
01:03:22Now.
01:03:23All right, well,
01:03:24if you don't mind talking to my other office,
01:03:25I'm a busy man.
01:03:26You know what?
01:03:27Why don't you call Amy,
01:03:28set up a lunch,
01:03:29we'll go to Danko.
01:03:30You like that, pal?
01:03:31No, no.
01:03:32All right, well,
01:03:33if you don't mind talking to my other office,
01:03:34I have to you.
01:03:43All right, so let's dwell on you, John.
01:03:45Don't tell me that juror's suicide has you spooked.
01:03:48Hm.
01:03:49You heard about it.
01:03:50Half the people in my office are talking about it.
01:03:53They think there's a curse.
01:03:55You believe in that kind of thing?
01:03:57I don't.
01:03:58You?
01:03:59Hm.
01:04:00I believe in two things, John.
01:04:02Justice and the death penalty.
01:04:04Everything else is just smoke and mirrors.
01:04:10So what's this really about?
01:04:13Mark Gannon.
01:04:16Yeah?
01:04:17Doing life in Fresno last time I heard.
01:04:19Yeah.
01:04:20Minimum security.
01:04:21The guy's 5'4".
01:04:23He's got arthritis worse than my grandmother.
01:04:25I still think he had the right friends.
01:04:29These are hardened criminals, John.
01:04:31We're not going to win him over with please and thank you.
01:04:34Hm.
01:04:35You're right.
01:04:36Hey, did you know his visitor's log in the jailhouse archives was missing?
01:04:42Half the city's understaffed.
01:04:44Clerical's a mess.
01:04:45I don't even know how I do my job.
01:04:46Yeah.
01:04:47So I checked the front logs.
01:04:50You want to guess who visited him right before he gave up Evan's confession?
01:04:56Five years later.
01:04:58And you want to have this conversation now?
01:05:00Did you coach him, Charles?
01:05:01You were with me.
01:05:02You know the evidence better than I do.
01:05:04It wasn't enough.
01:05:05Not until a cellmate came forward.
01:05:07Came forward and told everybody Evan confessed.
01:05:10We convicted a guilty man.
01:05:13You swore to me.
01:05:15You assured me that you had testimony proven as guilt.
01:05:19That was a lie.
01:05:21I suppose your conscience would prefer more people die.
01:05:24Like Evan Lucas?
01:05:29What are you going to do, John? Huh?
01:05:32Destroy your reputation?
01:05:34Jeopardize everything you've spent your whole career building?
01:05:37I'm just going to deny everything.
01:05:42Because that's what politicians do best, not Ned.
01:05:49City Hall was rocked today with the unexpected revelation that evidence may have been manipulated in the infamous Midnight Murderer case.
01:05:57A conspiracy which goes all the way up to District Attorney Charles Richardson himself, who is accused of tampering with a key witness.
01:06:04Meanwhile, the judge is currently reviewing the evidence against Evan Lucas, who was executed for the murders two years ago.
01:06:14Hi, this is Laura. Please leave me a message.
01:06:16Hello?
01:06:18Hey, Vic.
01:06:21Yeah, I changed it.
01:06:23What's up?
01:06:24Oh, um, I can't. I have plans tonight.
01:06:31Michael's here.
01:06:33Yeah.
01:06:36Tomorrow, okay?
01:06:38Tomorrow.
01:06:39Bye.
01:06:43That was my girlfriend, Vicki.
01:06:45The one that works at the art gallery.
01:06:47She may be doing the background check on you right now. I'm just letting you know.
01:06:53Unfortunately, one of the side effects of being a cop is you tend to lead a pretty boring personal life.
01:07:00After the week I've had, I can handle boring.
01:07:02I'll show you how this works.
01:07:10Yeah.
01:07:17Really?
01:07:18Uh-huh.
01:07:19Let me see if I can do it. I'm not sure.
01:07:20Um, um, yeah.
01:07:23Hey, it's me. Call me back ASAP. I think I found something.
01:07:36He told us where you hid the box.
01:07:38I don't know what you're talking about.
01:07:39Look, look, look. This, is that your knife?
01:07:43Hey, we got a witness saying he saw you take the Hamilton girl off of Duxbury Reef, toss her body in the water.
01:07:49Oh, man.
01:07:51No way.
01:07:53You know, the next time your girlfriend's gonna see you, they're gonna be sticking a needle in your arm.
01:08:02Fine. You wanna play this?
01:08:04All right.
01:08:06We'll do it your way.
01:08:08I can't help you, homie.
01:08:19I can't help you.
01:08:25Great.
01:08:49I can't help you.

01:12:21Nice work, John.
01:12:44You photographed all the files.
01:12:46Son of a bitch.
01:12:57Officer, do me a favor.
01:13:00I need you to call down to Santa Cruz, see if they find any prints.
01:13:02Also, see if the knife matches.
01:13:03Detective?
01:13:04Just do it.
01:13:05Come on.
01:13:12Pick up.
01:13:14Pick up.
01:13:14Hi, this is Laura.
01:13:16Please leave me a message.
01:13:18Hey, it's me.
01:13:19You're still in danger.
01:13:20You have to get out of the house.
01:13:22Please, call me.
01:13:25Alliance.
01:13:26The knife used in the Martinez suicide was the same as the midnight case.
01:13:29What about prints in the tub?
01:13:30Got a match on our files?
01:13:31Which one?
01:13:32Evan's boss, George Harris.
01:13:34By the way.
01:14:00Why?
01:14:00Let's go.
01:14:30Let's go.
01:15:00Let's go.
01:15:30Let's go.

01:16:30You in there, Laura?
01:16:31Let's go.
01:17:01Let's go.
01:17:31Let's go.
01:17:32Let's go.
01:17:33Where are you hiding, Laura?
01:17:43Where could you be?
01:18:05Laura?
01:18:06Where are you?
01:18:15Laura?
01:18:16Laura?
01:18:17Where are you?
01:18:18Good girl.
01:18:22Laura!
01:18:25Where are you?
01:18:29What are you?
01:18:30You're having a little bit of a movie?
01:18:32You're in there.
01:18:34You're in there.
01:18:37I'm sorry.
01:18:38You're in there.
01:18:39You're in there.
01:18:40I'm in there.
01:18:41You're in there.
01:18:42You're in there.
01:18:43You're in there.
01:18:44I don't know.
01:19:14Put the knife down.
01:19:44You okay?
01:20:14How are you holding up?
01:20:27Better.
01:20:30This whole time he was trying to keep us safe.
01:20:35George, I heard.
01:20:40Evan wanted me to tell you thank you.
01:20:47I'm just sorry we couldn't have helped him earlier.
01:20:53There's something else.
01:20:55What?
01:20:58He said your son is there with him.
01:21:05And that he's looking forward to being with his mommy when the time comes.
01:21:09Until then, he'll keep an eye on him for you.
01:21:16You tell him.
01:21:21You tell Jacob that there's not a minute that goes by on Monday that I don't think about him.
01:21:27Tell him that his mommy loves him very much.
01:21:32I will.
01:21:39Okay.
01:21:44Okay.
01:21:45Okay.
01:21:49You tell him.
01:21:51Okay.
01:21:52Okay.
01:21:53Okay.
01:21:54Okay.
01:21:55I'll see you next time.
01:21:56Okay.
01:21:58Okay.
01:21:59Okay.
