00:00This was taken six weeks ago. Looks more like him.

00:03Update the flyers.

00:04Did you find something for the bloodhounds?

00:05Yes. Henry's socks and the dirty laundry.

00:09Is this going to be enough?

00:10Yeah, that should be fine.

00:11We'd like to ask your wife a few more questions.

00:13I gave her a sedative so she could sleep.

00:17I'm a psychiatrist.

00:19Any patients with a grudge?

00:21No one's made any threats.

00:22How about violence against children?

00:24No, just your garden variety neurotics.

00:26Detectives, we've been canvassing the neighbors.

00:28This kid next door saw a guy hanging around this morning.

00:33I was in our driveway fixing my skateboard.

00:37Henry was playing in his yard.

00:40The man was in a car parked over there.

00:42Did you happen to notice what he was wearing?

00:44A baseball cap and sunglasses.

00:46He was watching Henry.

00:48Was the man black, white, young, old?

00:50White.

00:51Can you describe the car?

00:52It looked like the Toyota my mom used to drive.

00:55What color?

00:56Black.

00:57Did you get a look at the license plate number of the state?

01:01I didn't look.

01:03I'm sorry, Dr. Morton.

01:04I wish I told my mom this morning.

01:06It's okay, Jake.

01:07You're helping us now.

01:08Thanks.

01:09Jake.

01:10What's that?

01:10I know the research on pedophiles.

01:13What's the chance my son is still alive?

01:15You can't lose hope now.

01:17We're going to get Jake's description of the man out on the air.

01:19We'll run the car and we'll get these to the canine unit.

01:22He loves our boys.

01:23He taught them how to throw a frisbee.

01:26He helped them build a fort in the backyard.

01:28He confessed, Dr. Morton.

01:29I can't believe this.

01:36Did you know that his mother sent him to a boot camp?

01:39Yes.

01:40Yes.

01:41Since Jake's father died, he's been acting out.

01:44Leslie was overwhelmed.

01:45I recommended a place.

01:46I've been lying back.

01:48Why?

01:48What?

01:48It looks like he was brutalized up there.

01:53Leslie never said anything to me.

01:55What did they do to him?

01:56Jake said he was sodomized.

01:58And he showed us some scars with the other kids that burned him.

02:04I need to see Jake.

02:13Please.

02:15And I think the jury understood.

02:17I'll always regret what I did.

02:18I didn't think they'd acquit him.

02:20This trial wasn't about Brett Morton or extreme emotional disturbance.

02:24Or even your testimony.

02:25Jurors didn't want Jake O'Hara running loose and Brett solved that problem.

02:28You can't treat these kids so we kill them?

02:30I don't have the answers.

02:32I don't think anyone does.

02:33Maybe that's why they acquitted him.

02:34There's no vac.

02:36There's no vac.

02:39You seem pretty satisfied.

02:41I am.

02:42Well, you got away with it.

02:44I suppose I did.

02:45Tell me one thing.

02:46When did you decide to kill Jake?

02:51In the courtroom.

02:53Once I knew what he was.

02:55You were right.

02:57I looked around.

02:59Saw the officer.

03:01Realized I could take the gun.

03:03I just waited for the right moment.

03:04He manipulated us just like Jake did.

03:09There's one big difference.

03:12Jake would have killed again.

03:14I won't.

03:15I won't.

03:16I won't.

03:17I won't.

03:18I won't.

03:19I won't.

03:20I won't.

03:21I won't.

03:22I won't.

03:23I won't.

03:24I won't.

03:25I won't.

03:26I won't.

03:27I won't.

03:28I won't.

03:29I won't.

03:30I won't.
