The Inverted Case (2025) Movie Script
Shane gray?
- Who are you?
- Detective trevino, homicide.
I need you to come with me.
What do you want?
We need to talk about Hailey Easton.
Hey, Roy, put that gun away.
You are under arrest for
the murder of Hailey Easton.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and
will be used against you
in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford an attorney,
one will be provided for you.
Do you understand your rights?
Let's go.
Hey, do you know when
they'll have the DNA test back
on the Easton case?
Johnson will be right out.
I have been waiting here since two.
It's two right now.
Daylight savings ended.
I hate the winter.
It's a match.
You can't be back here.
Remember that time I got your brother off
on that misdemeanor case.
Yeah. What do you want?
Payback time.
Thank you too...
Yeah.
Rios: This is rios in technical services.
The phone registered to Shane gray
pinged the cell tower near
Hailey Easton's last location.
Trevino: You're the man.
My friend at the phone company said
this is the first and last time.
Next time bring a warrant.
Well, you tell your friend
at the phone company
I owe him lunch.
He's only helping
because he knows about the case.
I appreciate it.
As I said this is the last time.
Yeah. Thanks.
Your friend is kind of sleazy.
Well done.
Is he in some kind of trouble?
Here's 50.
Thank you.
You be safe tonight, okay?
Yeah.
Bellamy: Where are you?
Yeah. I got eyes on Shane gray.
Why the hell are you following him?
Because I know it's him.
I told you to wait on this.
We don't have much time.
Lieutenant brigs wants me to help
with a double homicide.
No, but I need his phone number.
I can't do this right now.
Go home and get some sleep.
Hey, miss, how would you
like to make a quick $100?
Why, 'cause the gentleman can't last?
Creep.
No, hey, it's nothing kinky like that.
See that pretty boy in
the bar across the street.
I need his phone number,
I'll give you $50 now and
$50 when you come back.
- Just for his phone number? - Damn right.
I'll be in the car.
Lia gray she has two children.
Elora sharpe, maiden name gray, 40,
married to Duncan sharpe.
They have two minor children,
Steven age 11, Daphne age 9.
They own a flower shop in the highlands.
And then there is Shane gray, 36.
He works for a tour guide.
Married to Hannah,
has a minor son by the
name of James, age 10.
The address?
2460 east Maddison rd.
What are you thinking?
I think I'm going to pay him a visit.
Don't go near them
until I discuss this with the lieutenant.
Brigs will just slow us down.
Listen, trevino, I don't
care what you're feeling
or how obsessed you
are, but facts make a case.
And the last time you
broke into a suspect's home
without a warrant.
Aren't you tired of playing mom?
Aren't you tired acting like a child?
He's still out there, you know.
And they're right.
We're clueless.
Who are they?
The parents.
Why haven't you arrested anyone?
Mrs. Easton, there are some details
we just can't share at this moment.
I thought you would have someone by now.
We need your help.
Mrs. Easton: With what?
Is there any way that Hailey
could have had a secret affair
with an older man?
Absolutely not.
Are you sure, Mrs. Easton?
Sometimes teenagers keep
secrets from their parents.
We don't know for sure,
but we found a bottle of
after shave in Hailey's room.
It's down in evidence.
Here is a bottle of the same brand.
Does this remind you of anyone?
Pastor, anyone you know smell like this?
We have no idea what you are talking about.
Hailey was a good girl.
Have any of your friends ever shown...
Enough! You have no respect.
Trevino: We are only trying to...
You don't have a clue, detective, do you?
- Hi. - Mr. Gray?
Yes.
I'm detective trevino.
Am I in some kind of trouble?
No, sir. I'm actually
here to speak to Lia gray.
That's okay, al. I invited the gentleman.
Please come in.
Would you like some tea?
Sure.
Do you take cream or sugar?
No, thank you.
What a beautiful neighborhood
do you guys have here.
Lovely home, Mr. Gray,
how long have you been living here?
Well, a long time.
Raised the kids here.
Oh. Do you have pictures of them?
Yeah.
I've got them right here.
That's elora there,
and her husband and two kids.
And this is Shane and his wife and kid.
- What a beautiful family.
- Mr. Gray: Yeah.
What are the names of your grandchildren?
Um...
- Thank you. - This one's...
That's Steven, and next to him is Daphne.
Steven and Daphne...
And that's Shane.
And James is Shane's son
and he is a force to be reckoned with.
Yeah, that little bastard.
So, what type of work
does your son Shane do?
He's a tour guide.
And he works for a travel
agency and he sells cruises.
And your daughter?
Elora, she owns a flower store.
You mentioned in the
phone conversation that,
you were investigating the
murder of that young woman.
Yeah, and that's why I need your help.
My help?
Do you recognize this man?
What man?
Why don't we go out to the patio and talk?
My husband likes to
read the paper in silence.
Mrs. Gray: Are you married?
No. Divorced.
Any children.
One, a daughter.
And her age?
His name was Oscar latella.
He was a cab driver
who lived down the street
from your parents' house
around the same time
you were living there.
Hmm. I may remember him.
Would you know if he was involved
with any women in your neighborhood?
How would I know?
Well, you grew up there, until what age?
When I became engaged to al I moved out.
And then you worked at a bottling plant
about 10 miles away?
Yes, I did as many other
girls in the neighborhood did.
Did Mr. Latella ever drive you there?
Where are you going with this?
Listen, Mrs. Gray,
I'll be upfront with you.
We believe that Oscar latella
got a young woman pregnant
in your neighborhood, around the same time
you were living there,
and I'm just trying to find out who she is.
And you want to know if I am that girl?
Or a person you may know.
Well, I am not.
I'll need a DNA sample to verify that.
I'm not giving you a DNA sample.
Listen, Mrs. Gray.
You either want to help
us get the killer or you don't.
That bitch.
Run the name Lia Finnegan,
she used to live in the highlands.
Possibly under a different last name.
No, I'll wait.
Yeah, I'm here.
Thanks.
Where is the boss?
Right here.
Mr. Galetti?
Yes.
Detective trevino, homicide.
How may I help you?
Do you know this man?
Yes, he worked for us for a long time.
He passed away about five years ago.
How well did you know him?
I knew him pretty well.
We were good friends.
Can I sit down?
Sure.
Would you like a drink or something?
No, thanks.
Mr. Galetti, you know
if Oscar had a secret
girlfriend or something?
No. I don't know anything about that.
This is about a murder of a
young woman, 17 years old.
I-I don't see how he can be involved.
He must have had a son,
someone secret, or they kept it a secret.
Oscar was a woman's man.
Women of all ages called for him.
He had-he had the sharp eyes,
a deep voice and a lot of charm.
He was irresistible to women.
I'm looking for a young woman
that may have given birth
to a son in the early 1980's
and kept it a secret.
Hold-hold on for a
second, I'll be right back.
This is an aerial photograph
of the neighborhood
in those days.
This was my house.
This was Oscar's house.
And this was finnegans'.
They lived down the street.
They're dead now but they had
a beautiful daughter named Lia.
And Oscar used to drive her
to the local plant every day.
One night when him and I got really drunk
he told me he screwed up.
He got a woman pregnant.
But he never told me her name.
You think it's this Lia?
Could be.
Hi.
- Uncle: Hi, Charlotte.
- How are you today?
Uncle: How was school?
Hey, get away from her.
Police! Get out of the vehicle right now.
Hey, he-he is my uncle.
Yep, she is my niece.
- My bad. - Is there a problem here, dude?
I thought you were somebody else.
You two have a good night. Sorry be safe.
All right, you too, man.
There is only one explanation for this.
Aren't you hungry?
Oscar latella had a son
he didn't know about...
Or had a big secret.
I bet you it's the first.
He was a taxi cab driver.
Here's the company that he worked for.
Everywhere yellow cab.
Here you go.
I'll go check it out.
Hey, can I be honest with you?
When are you not?
I think you're getting too
emotional about the case.
Whatever, partner.
Yeah.
Bellamy: You won't believe this.
What?
The lab tested the stamp from the envelope
and they found 21 short tandem repeats
matching the killer's DNA.
You only need 15 to confirm paternity.
You're kidding?
Oscar latella is the father of the killer.
Holy shit!
Heading back.
Do you know anything about the Easton case?
What about it?
I jog by those fields where they found her.
Am I safe?
Of course you are.
Are the rumors true?
Did she really have an
affair with an older man?
Gosh!
What's wrong?
It's heartburn.
You-you want some water?
No.
I need my heartburn tablets,
they're upstairs it's the first door
on the right.
They are next to the sink.
Thank you.
- Now, get the fuck out. - What?
Get the fuck out of the apartment now.
What are you talking about?
I will sue you and the local post.
- Get out. - Ouch!
You are hurting me.
Complements of the lady.
Thank you.
Nancy: You said you didn't want milk?
Yes, thank you.
So, how may we assist you?
I'll get right to it.
We found DNA in a homicide investigation
that was a partial match to your son Tony.
What?
Excuse me?
Don't worry. He's not a suspect.
But we are certain he
is related to the killer.
How could that be?
Do you have any other adult males
in your family?
Cousins, uncles, half brothers?
My side of the family, I have no siblings.
What about you, Mr. Latella?
Yeah. My brother Oscar
passed away about five years ago.
He had two girls, Tessa
and amethyst, no sons.
I always told him that without me
the latella family name would have died.
Are you sure you don't
have any other family?
Not here. We have relatives in Italy.
Have they visited you lately?
About 10 years ago,
my cousin paolo and his wife Gabriella.
Do they have a son?
No.
Mrs. Latella, may I have
a moment with Mr. Latella?
Mr. Latella, this is a
homicide investigation.
DNA does not lie.
Do you or your brother have a son
that no-one knows about?
Of course not.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Mrs. Latella? - Yes.
I'm detective trevino.
We spoke on the phone.
Call me Hannah. Please come in.
Would you like to sit in the living room
or would you prefer sitting at a table?
- I prefer the table. - All right.
Please have a seat.
Can I get you a drink
or a slice of apple pie?
No, thank you. I already ate.
Hannah, how long ago did
your husband pass away?
It will be five years in may.
And to your knowledge
you were his first and only wife?
Yes. Why do you ask?
Hannah, a young girl was murdered.
And we found a partial match
of DNA to your nephew Tony.
Oh, that's terrible.
What does that mean?
A partial match means
that Tony isn't the killer,
but is related to him.
And I am here today
because I really do need your help.
In what way?
Could you identify the immediate members
of your family for me?
Oh. Sure. Hold on a minute.
We have two daughters.
This is Tessa and this is amethyst.
And this is Oscar with his brother Leo.
Leo is married to Nancy
and they have my niece Ella
and my nephew Tony.
And this is Oscar.
Can I take that?
I have a duplicate in the back.
I would be glad to let you have that one.
Thank you.
Hannah, to your knowledge do you know
if Oscar had any children
before you had met him?
No, I think I would know that.
Do you happen to have
anything of Oscar's DNA still on it?
Like what?
A comb, toothbrush, hairbrush?
No. I wouldn't. I threw those things away.
Anything that would be
Oscar's would most likely be
in his old study.
Could we take a look?
Sure.
How long have you been a detective?
Going on 25 years now.
You've probably seen
some pretty interesting cases.
- I have. - Here it is.
- May I? - Go ahead.
Oscar spent hours writing at this desk.
I didn't even know he
had an artistic side to him
until I discovered he wrote a novel.
I was surprised to learn
that he had a way with words.
Oscar loved writing to
his family back in Italy.
Perfect.
What's that?
It's a letter your husband
sent to an insurance company
but for some reason it was sent back.
May I take this?
Um... yes.
Thank you and I-I really appreciate this.
Why is the letter so important?
You see, if your husband wrote this,
there is a chance that the
DNA is still on the stamp
on the envelope.
Oh, like those crime shows?
Exactly. You have a great day now.
You will keep me posted?
Of course.
Hey, I got dickerson
in the conference room.
- Who? - The genetic genealogist.
You have to come see this. Come on.
- You gonna get him? - You know it.
- How are you doing? - Fine.
- Hi. - Hi.
All right.
So, this is the latella family tree.
We have dino and Francesca
they had two boys, Leo and Oscar.
Leo married a woman named Nancy.
They had two kids, Ella and Tony.
Ella has a minor of her own.
Tony has no kids and as you know
shares 25% of the killer's DNA.
Oscar married a woman named Hannah,
they had two kids, Tessa and amethyst.
Tessa has two minors of
her own, amethyst, three.
The family also has some cousins in Italy,
we can search there
but it can take some time.
I still don't see how they
can be related to Hailey?
I agree. It's farfetched.
You mean to tell me that
the only other adult male
in the family is Leo latella?
What, is he 70 or something?
Eh, 69 actually.
And as you know if Leo was the killer
then Tony would be sharing
more than 50% of his DNA.
I got Leo. You see what's up
with Hannah, Oscar's widow.
I just shot you the address. Thanks.
Dickerson: No worries.
I appreciate it, Mr. Dickerson.
My pleasure.
Open the box.
Happy birthday, dad!
Thank you, sweetie.
Mia: Yeah, you have
to download the app for it
but, um, it's supposed
to help you sleep at night,
it's got 40 different sounds of nature,
it's got rain, it got ocean
but yeah, the lights synch up...
It's perfect. Thank you.
How did dinner with mom go?
Ah, you know, couldn't
have gone any better.
You are full of it.
You know I get that a lot.
Trevino: So, how was work?
- It's good. -
Oh, James is here actually, I have to go.
Okay, well, have fun.
Happy birthday again I love you.
Thank you. I love you too.
I just want to talk, I just want to talk.
What, are you crazy?
You could've just called.
Oh, okay.
Tell me what happened?
I have been trying to get
Hailey to go out with me
for two years, okay,
and she finally said yes, okay, look.
This was two months ago, right?
You know, we went to this place
and, you know, we-we were having fun,
we sat down and she dared me to go
and ask out this girl at the bar.
Right, you know, she
was laughing her ass off
because I almost got in trouble
with the girl's boyfriend, and...
Okay, this doesn't matter, right?
What matters is, is after, right?
It was my turn.
I dared, I dared Hailey
to go talk to this guy
at the bar, you know, dark hair, mid 30's.
You know and I see them, you know,
she comes back to our table,
you know, she is smiling and blushing,
she couldn't take her
eyes off that asshole, right?
You know, and as you may expect
she never called me
again, all right, after that.
Two weeks later, after school,
I see Hailey, and I see her
get in this gray pickup truck.
Hailey doesn't have gray pickup truck.
So, I go and check and
guess who was the guy driving?
That asshole from the bar.
Did you get a good look at him?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Good. I need you to describe
him to our sketch artist.
Get up.
I want you to tell everything
that happened to your father
when you get home and I expect both of you
at the station tomorrow morning.
Now, go home.
Hey.
The next time you follow me
I'll make sure you line up at the dentist.
Fucking prick.
Bellamy.
Yeah, that's great, thank you.
Hey.
They are sending over the footage
from the bar restaurant.
That's Tony latella.
Mm-hm.
And the bar is only an hour and a half away
from where Hailey was killed.
And we knew it wasn't him
because his DNA was only a 25% match.
So, that means it's either a cousin,
a nephew or a distant uncle to the killer.
And that's why I wanted
to check out his alibi,
just to make sure he wasn't covering
for anyone in the family.
Well, we are 25% closer
to nailing the son of a bitch
who did this.
Get your own pen.
Where were you on the
night of November 9th?
At your sisters.
I don't have time for this shit.
Guillards. It's a restaurant
bar in the dry creek mountains.
What time?
8:30 to 10:00.
Do you know this girl?
Nah, I've never seen her.
You have any brothers,
male cousins, an uncle?
I have a sister, Ella,
two cousins, they're
girls, Tessa and amethyst,
and uncle Oscar but he's passed away.
Do you have a half brother
or any other male relatives
in your family that you
might be related to?
Other than my father, no.
You know I can smell a rat here.
Yeah? I can change my deodorant.
If we find out you have a male relative
and you're covering up for him
I'll send you some lube
and deodorant in jail.
Hey, papi.
Do you wanna go for a ride?
Get in.
Honey, in my line of business,
if you don't get paid up front,
you just get fucked.
- Get in. - Ah, shit.
Have you seen this red pickup truck?
I got couple of regulars
with a truck like that.
Can you describe them for me?
One's a...
He's a redhead, a
little on the chubby side.
He is into s&m,
squeals like a little piggy.
The other, he is a good looking guy,
got a short beard, man of very few words,
he's quiet, he likes to pull hair.
Have either of them
taken it too far with you?
The good looking one gave me a bloody nose.
Would be able to recognize
them if I put them into a line up?
Will they have their pants on?
If you see that red pickup truck again
write down its license plate and call me.
Can I call you for a date?
Stay out of trouble.
No, I won't.
- We got a break. - What?
The DNA tests
from the bar's customers came back.
We've got a Tony latella
who's a 25% match to the killer.
Cousin, maybe distant relative.
Unbelievable. Give me that.
He is a road worker that
works not far from here.
Let's bring him in.
Sorry I am late.
No worries.
So, how's life?
Good. How about you?
I'm not complaining.
Hi.
Is there anything I can get
you two to drink this evening?
You want some wine?
No, thank you.
I'll just have some water please.
I'll have the draft, the ipa.
Thank you.
The house is under contract.
It's yours. You can do
whatever you want with it.
Have you talked to Mia lately?
No.
She is moving in with
James. I think it's serious.
You know, maybe you
should call her more often.
Daughters need their fathers.
What is so funny?
- Nothing. - Please tell me.
It's just that you can't
even wait two minutes
before you start criticizing me.
I'm moving out of state.
I'm moving to New York.
Is that where he lives? Chuck?
Waiter: All right, are you ready to order?
Yes. I'll...
I'll have your avocado salad
with dressing on the side please.
No bread. - Waiter: For you, sir?
Chicken Alfredo for me.
Have you been taking your anti-depressants?
Why are you asking?
Just curious.
I can handle the truth.
Just not my criticism.
No, but I'd like to hear it.
You are not blinking
and your eyes look glassy.
Happy?
Are you going to therapy?
Are you?
I'm not the one pulling my hair out.
You know there is a
name for your condition,
it's called trichotillomania.
Have you told your
therapist that you do that?
You know, you used to be supportive.
You used to be my husband.
I don't know who you are now.
Why am I here?
I wanted to say goodbye.
Oh, how nice.
I don't know what love
becomes between two people
who have grown apart?
Concern, I guess.
In a hypothetical world,
how could we grow closer?
There is no way.
What can I do to become better?
You help all your victims' families
with their pain.
But you do nothing about yours.
Sorry.
Hi. Yes, I am fine.
I just can't talk right now. I
am in the middle of something.
I know. I promise, I...
Detective trevino.
- You called the station? - Yeah, I did.
I've got some video
footage I need to show you.
Come on back here.
I've got two cameras,
one on the outside, and one on the corner.
This is from November 9th at 7:32pm.
I recognized the girl from the news.
Here's the outside camera.
Can we see the truck?
No.
Anyone else in the area
have security cameras?
Just the gas station over by the highway.
Here, I'll need a copy of these files.
Good morning.
Hey, detectives. Follow me.
My customers were pissed.
I had to tell them the liquor board came in
and we didn't properly ID an agent.
But I was able to get the
girls to take some pictures
underneath the bar.
Here's your DNA.
Wow, you should come work with us.
Trevino: I'll go pull
the car around the back.
Go get that son of a bitch.
I will.
Shit. Fuck!
Tell us what you can about Hailey Easton.
I'd be happy to help detectives.
Bellamy: Who brought her in?
Her mother.
What was the diagnosis?
This stays between us.
Of course, doctor.
Ppd.
Paranoid personality disorder.
What is that?
People with ppd have a general feeling
that they are being lied to.
They don't trust their
family, their friends...
They have bursts of anger
and they can often be
controlling in relationships
in order to avoid feeling exploited.
They look for hidden meaning
in conversations and gestures.
They have a hard time relaxing.
They generally have a negative outlook
on other people.
How was Hailey dealing with this?
She saw it as a form of punishment.
This?
Yes, our mental health clinic here
and her stay with us.
What type of punishment exactly, doctor?
I believe it was for being intimate
with her boyfriend.
What's the boyfriend's name?
Matt.
And how did she feel about Matt?
She thought he was a bit immature.
Abusive? Drugs?
No. Just a general distrust.
She believed he was lying to her.
About what?
Well, about everything.
That's how ppd works.
What causes this disorder?
Ppd is predominantly psychological.
The more we study the brain
the more we will understand.
There is a genetic
background to it as well.
Especially in families with
a history of schizophrenia.
Are there any disorders
like this in Hailey's family?
No. Not that I am aware of.
She was here for a month.
Why was she discharged?
I believed she was doing better.
And she asked to go home.
That's where teenagers belong.
Did she ever tell you that
she was afraid of anyone?
No.
Thank you, Dr. Raycard.
Have you noticed any
changes in Hailey's behavior
or performance this semester?
Academically she did well,
and I noticed her demeanor changed.
How so?
She acted angry,
antisocial towards her peers.
And in November her mother pulled her out
and admitted her
to the behavior mental health clinic.
How long was she in the clinic?
- About a month. - Do you know why?
From what her mother said
some type of mental breakdown.
So, you do have a relationship
with Hailey's parents?
Yeah.
Pastor Easton is a mentor
here to some of the children,
including my own.
And what about Mrs. Easton?
She is a very private.
Do you think
Hailey and Mrs. Easton
had a good relationship?
Yes.
You sure?
Anything we need to be
concerned about on the home front?
Well, she seemed to have
issues with organized religion,
but in reading her essays
I figured that was
typical teenage rebellion.
And even when Hailey
was acting more abrupt,
she-she was adored.
Thank you, Mrs. Garett.
If you think of anything significant,
feel free to reach out.
Thank you.
I understand this is a difficult time.
But I need to know more about Hailey.
Did she participate in church?
Oh, yeah. All her life.
Did she like it? Or did she
do it because she had to?
Hailey loved helping people.
And how did she help them?
Well, she was charismatic.
She attracted people
from all walks of life.
Did you notice anyone getting close lately?
No.
Hailey had a sixth sense.
She could look at someone
and feel their suffering.
In fact just like now.
I can see your suffering, detective.
- Are you married? - Divorced.
Children?
One, a daughter.
But it goes deeper than
that, doesn't it, detective?
And we can help with that.
Did Hailey's mood change lately?
Many teenagers lose their way.
We take derailed children
and put them back on track
before the devil can take hold.
And it's my sacred duty to free them
from the antichrist.
And what if you can't?
Many people go though their entire lives
following the attractive
allure of the false prophet.
You know, detective, that
the beast is everywhere.
Pastor Easton, we all
want the same thing here.
Can you help me find Hailey's killer?
Shouldn't I be asking that question?
Please give me a call if
anything comes to mind.
Wherever Jesus went
he was a preacher of hell.
His very first sermon
in the new testament...
Is Matthew 5:29.
"If thy right eye offend
thee, pluck it out,
and cast it from thee,
for it is profitable for thee
that one of thy members should perish,
"and not that whole body
should be cast into hell."
Jesus is teaching us
that adultery is to be
avoided as an action...
And as a thought.
Even if our bodies are not...
Jesus wants our hearts to be pure.
Jesus is our savior
because he is going to save us
from a very real place,
he wants to rescue you from hell.
Eternal punishment as he
says about the pharisees
for releasing the hounds of hell.
It is better for you to experience
a moment of loss in this life,
than to be cast into
a lake of fire forever.
- What can I get you? - Glass of water.
And you?
I would like to speak with the owner.
That would be me.
Who's asking?
Detective bellamy.
Let me get that water.
So, this guy walks into a bar
with a revolver and he yells,
"who's been sleeping with my wife?"
And the guy from across the bar yells,
"you don't have enough
bullets, man."
When was the last time
you've been on a date?
So, what's this about?
We are investigating a homicide
that happened on the hill from here.
I'm aware.
Did you see anything, heard anything,
know of anyone that could have done it?
No.
Could we ask you for a favor?
And that's if you wanna help of course.
- Sure. - Let's walk through this again.
Hailey's body was here.
And the parking lot is
half a mile from here.
So, how did Hailey's body end up here
without any track marks?
The crime scene techs
only found a piece of rope
and a piece of black duct tape.
But not on her.
What do we know about her?
She is artistic, she is good in school,
she loves photography,
she doesn't like a lot of attention.
I'm trying to remember
what that age was like.
Trying to go back to how it was.
Yeah, lots of things are happening
when you are 17.
Well, I remember two things.
My sudden interest in boys,
and my sudden interest
in exploring the world.
I wanted to go see places
and I wanted to leave.
Yeah, we all did.
Well, let's say she came here with him.
They fool around,
she tells him no and he kills her.
But the lab only found
a small spot of semen on her underwear.
But none in her.
Well, maybe they got interrupted.
Maybe he put on a condom,
she tells him no and he hits her.
But why here?
Killers usually drop
bodies in familiar places.
Besides there is a parking lot
over there, what else is there?
There is a bar down
the hill about a mile or so.
All right, let's go check it out.
Trevino: That's why I don't
like that ex boyfriend of hers, Matt.
Yeah, well, whoever did it
had a lot of emotional built up.
It was definitely an overkill.
I mean, she knew her killer.
Exactly, that's why Matt fits the profile.
He's the stalking type.
Have you ever been obsessed with a girl?
- Kind of. - Did you follow her around?
A little bit.
Well, that doesn't make you a killer.
Bellamy.
Yeah. That's great.
That's great. Hey, hey, keep me posted.
They found a spot of
semen on Hailey's underwear.
We have DNA.
Did they run the DNA?
But what we have wasn't a match.
Neither was the codis or the database.
We're getting closer.
Let's go to the fields.
I'm in law enforcement
and always wanted to be.
I-I love the outdoors. Hiking.
I love to travel,
I love animals and photography
and I love scuba diving.
I love animals.
What so...
What did I say?
Listen, I will make this easier for you.
What are you really looking for?
Are you looking for something long-term,
are you looking for a friend
or are you looking to just hook up?
I don't know...
So, how about this, when
you know what you want
you can send me a message.
Okay.
Take care now, Vinnie.
You too. Bye.
Fuck.
Here are our three suspects.
First we have Matt Hammond,
17 years old, ex-boyfriend.
They dated, she dumps
him, he didn't like it.
So, let's say he picks Hailey
up from her piano lessons.
They drive to the parking
lot, go out into the fields,
they argue, things gets
out of hand, he kills her.
Now, he tells officer Campbell
that he was home alone
during the night of the murder,
however, his parents are out having dinner.
So, there is no-one to
corroborate his story.
Next, we have Derrick landmore,
sex offender, serves five
years in the state prison
for raping a minor, gets
out on good conduct.
Works for a tree trimming company.
No troubles in the past two years.
His girlfriend says
he was with her from 8:30 to 11:30.
Now, let's say Hailey leaves
her piano lessons at 7:25.
He's coming home from work,
he sees Hailey, he abducts her,
he takes her to the
parking lot, he assaults her.
He doesn't wanna go back to jail,
so he takes her out in
the field and he kills her.
But in order for him to do so,
there is a very narrow window.
Less than an hour if
we believe his girlfriend.
And here we have Kevin
gardiner, ageless old hippy.
66 years old, no priors except
for a few drugs in the 1970's.
He's never stayed in one
place more than two years.
Jobs all over the place,
mainly truck driving,
however, I have found two
missing girls in every area
that he stayed in, in the last six years.
Every place has missing girls?
That is correct.
But he is the only suspect
who has Hailey's
belongings in his possession.
And he has no witness to verify
that he was alone during
the night of the murder.
Well, we've swabbed
all three of these creeps.
Now, all we're missing is
some good news from the lab.
No. Don't do it.
You boy? You're Matt, aren't you?
I know who you are.
Hey, let him go.
What the hell did she ever do to you?
- Let him go. Let him go.
- Get your hands off me!
You are going to rot in hell boy.
I know you did this.
Get your hands off me.
How does this help?
What are you doing about it?
I'm working day and
night to solve this case.
Oh, man, you are afraid of this kid
because his dad is a
hot shot lawyer in town.
Yeah, and we need evidence.
I know you did it.
Where were you on the night of the 9th?
I was home.
Can anyone corroborate this?
My dog, but he is a German Shepherd,
I don't think he speaks English.
So, you decided to walk your dog at 5am.
Why dove's park?
I can let the dog off the leash.
How often do you go there?
Two, three times a week.
Is that the only reason you go up there?
You see, Mr. Gardiner,
a complaint was filed
against you last summer.
It appears you like to
go at dove's park at night
and watch couples make out.
You even got caught filming one of them.
Stupid kids.
They're-they're full of shit.
There was a meteor shower
and I was trying to film it.
Is that you?
This was taken by security cameras
at a gas station near doves park.
On the 9th at 7:41pm.
You bought a six pack of beer,
and it appears that you
were headed that way.
Who did you see, Mr. Gardiner?
This is serious.
There was this truck.
It's parked on the other
side of the parking lot.
After about five minutes
this couple got out,
they walked down to the fields.
What kind of truck?
Pickup truck.
I don't know the model.
Silver or gray.
Can you describe the couple?
No. It was... it was too dark.
But, she was petite...
He was 6 feet tall.
Then?
I, uh, I walked out to the other side
of the parking lot, by the truck.
And I saw the beany on the ground,
as I was reaching down to pick it up
I heard this other car come
down the road so I turned around
and I went back to my car.
What type of car came down the road?
Dark SUV.
They all look the same.
And what did the SUV do?
Well, it parked right behind me.
Lights turned off, there was no movement.
And?
Well, it's a big parking lot.
And it was kind of weird,
right behind me and no lights.
So, I got the hell out of there.
Did you have your dog with you?
No.
I don't believe you, Mr. Gardiner
but you have a chance
to prove your innocence.
How do I do that?
I want your DNA.
Hi, eh, I have information
on the Hailey Easton case.
Pretty cool, eh?
Tell you what, you
can have it for 10 bucks.
Bye.
Do you have a moment?
Come in.
I'm sorry to bother you, Mrs. Easton,
but there is something I need to ask you?
How close were you and Hailey?
Very close.
Do you think she'd tell you her secrets?
I certainly hope so.
This is a patient log
from an abortion clinic in sommerville.
Hailey had a procedure
done there three weeks ago
and on the 27th of October.
Did you know anything
about this, Mrs. Easton?
No.
I'm sorry to be the one telling you this.
Would you happen to know who the father is?
Is pastor here?
He's at a sermon, and...
You cannot share any of this with him.
May I ask why?
You will break his heart.
Don't you think he
needs to know about this?
He's very strict.
He doesn't believe in premarital sex.
A man should have
pure feelings for a woman.
Is it possible that he may
have known about the abortion
maybe through a receipt,
or a credit card statement,
or maybe from rumors from his kids
in his youth group?
No, no, he wouldn't.
If he knew, I would know about it.
Why do you say that?
Because it would be my fault.
It would have been my
relaxed parenting style
that brought this.
To your knowledge, did
Hailey have a boyfriend?
I knew about that Matt
kid, but Hailey told me,
and I believe her, that
that was just a few kisses
and that was over four months ago.
Matt wanted to go back with her, though.
Thank you, Mrs. Easton,
and I promise to keep this between us.
So, I went through Hailey's journal.
Go to her entry where I marked.
September 23rd.
"I'm gaining weight."
It's like I'm eating for two. Papa knows.
I can tell by the way he looks at me.
But how?
I hope to see smiley face soon.
"I can't stop thinking about smiley face."
Read the first two sentences again.
"I'm gaining weight. It's
like I'm eating for two."
She's pregnant.
Read the next one. October 26th.
"I don't know what to do,
the appointment is tomorrow.
I'm torn. Smiley face is sad face."
Holy shit. Is that the
date of the abortion?
Exactly, and there are only two places
that perform abortions around here.
The women's hospital
and the clinic in somerville.
- Well, this changes everything.
- That's right.
There weren't any at the women's hospital
that day, and there
were two at sommerville.
They wouldn't release the
names, and we need a warrant.
- Now, we know the motive. - Yes.
She confronted him and he lost his shit.
So, smiley face turns her into bloody face.
That's why I don't like Matt for this.
Why?
Why not confront him at school?
She had plenty of opportunities.
And why go to an empty parking lot
in the middle of nowhere?
So, you think it was
someone outside of school?
Exactly. And which relationships end badly?
- Affairs. - Mm-hm.
He was an older man,
married and he had a lot to lose.
But this is why I don't
want to rule out Matt.
Picture this, Matt hears a rumor at school
that Hailey's pregnant.
He picks her up from the piano lesson,
drives her out to the parking lot.
She tells him she is pregnant
with someone else's baby,
it escalates, he kills
her in a jealous rage.
Most murderers end up being
a boyfriend, a husband or an ex.
That's a good point.
You know I had that kid in my car,
he stunk like a skunk.
- No, after shave. - What after shave?
The after shave I found in Hailey's room
hidden behind some books.
How did I miss that?
It's in evidence, bar code number 122468.
Enia hutchinson?
Yes.
Hi, I'm detective Nola bellamy.
I wanted to ask you some questions
about Hailey Easton.
I understand you two were close.
Do you mind if I sit with you for a moment?
Sure.
So, how's school treating you?
Okay.
Loving algebra?
Is it fair to say you and
Hailey were best friends?
She didn't really trust a lot of people.
Why do you say that?
It was a character thing.
Did she trust you?
I guess.
What about boys?
Was there anyone she was in love with?
Um, I think so.
Would you know who?
No. She didn't really talk about him.
Was it Matt Hammond, her ex?
I don't think so.
I think he might have been older.
Why do you say that?
She started wearing a lot of makeup.
She wouldn't constantly complain
about how immature high school boys were.
She also became really distant.
How so?
She stopped talking to me.
But you know, Mrs. Garett,
she is her literature teacher and advisor,
can't talk to her now, she's been sick,
but I know Hailey confided in her.
Thank you, enia.
I have one more question.
Why did Hailey stop talking to you?
Em...
I was looking through her bag
for a marker...
And I found...
It's okay.
A pregnancy test.
Whoa!
Police.
What the hell, man?
Detective trevino. Homicide.
Nice to meet you, Matt.
What do you want?
The way people drive around here,
it's pretty dangerous on a skateboard.
Why don't you get in?
Yeah, sorry, my dad is a lawyer.
Good you gonna need him,
because I saw you in the alley...
Now get in.
So, where do you live?
Five streets down, take a right.
Here...
Take a piece.
You reek like weed.
Look, is this about Hailey?
Yeah, and I know the back story.
She dumped you and
you continued to stalk her.
Look I had nothing to do
with what happened to her.
I want to believe you, kid, so convince me.
We went out a few
times, it didn't work out.
That's not what the eastons said.
They said you continued
to follow her everywhere,
and became obsessed with her.
The right is coming up.
Any idea who could have done it?
What, you like taking pictures of girls
and going home back at
night and punching the clown?
- Eh, what, are you a virgin?
- Oh, fuck you. Let me out.
Give me the fucking camera.
Moving on. She looks like Hailey.
Give me the camera.
Should we show these to her parents?
Give it to me!
Look, when my dad
finds out about all this
he's gonna have your badge.
No, he won't.
Then I'll show him this.
Here's the deal.
You're going to give me a nice little swab
and you get to go home.
You say no, I play my cards.
Capisce?
Look, if my parents ever find about this,
I'll make sure you get what you deserve.
I don't have much time can
you please keep this quick.
Sure.
How long have you known Derrick landmore?
I don't know, about a year now.
And were you with him on
the night of November 9th?
Yes, ma'am. At his place.
What time exactly?
Around 8:30 at night.
What did you do?
We watched a movie.
Which one?
Em... the unlikely winner.
Did you stay the night?
No.
I left around 11:30, I
was home by midnight.
Was Derrick acting
anxious, or a little weird?
No, not really.
Did he have any mud on him, was he sweaty,
was there any blood on him?
No, no.
He had just gotten out of the shower.
Why are you asking this?
How would you describe Derrick's moods,
is he calm, little violent,
does he have sudden mood changes?
No. He is very relaxed.
He smokes a lot of weed.
What about in the bedroom?
Is he aggressive or respectful?
That's kind of personal.
Hey, listen,
he's part of a homicide case right now.
So, if there's anything
that you can help us to clear him,
that would be great?
He is kinky.
Yes, he likes to dress me up like a nun,
or a school girl, you know, role playing,
but you guys don't know him.
He is actually kind of a wimp.
And how's that?
Many times, after sex
he breaks down crying.
Look, I've got to go.
Hey, hey, hey, wait.
Why does he cry, Heather?
He doesn't want to go back to jail.
You can guess, having raped a young girl,
what they do to you in there, right?
I hope you find who
it is you're looking for,
but it ain't Derrick.
I'll be right with you.
Detective bellamy.
Detective trevino.
We would like to ask you some questions?
Sure. Come in.
Can I get you guys anything?
No, thanks.
We would like to know your whereabouts
on November 9th,
which was last Thursday.
I got home around 8pm.
And where were you before that?
Work.
I had to dump some branches,
I work for a tree trimming company.
And where you at work alone?
No, bill was there.
We finished around...
6pm and then I loaded my
truck took it to the dump site.
The boss pays me extra
if I use my own truck.
What color is your truck?
It's red. A thunder 180.
So, you are home around eight.
What did you do next?
Eh.
My girlfriend came by.
What's your girlfriend's name?
Heather Wilkins.
How can we find her?
She works at a coffee
shop in the highlands.
The Brazilian bean.
What's her telephone number?
719-555-0121.
So, what did you and Heather do?
We hung out. Watched a movie.
What movie?
Some thriller.
Can't remember the
name of it, rented it online.
Can you prove it?
Sure.
It should show in my account.
Here it is.
November 9th, 9:24pm.
That's good.
Also, ordered a pizza.
I may have the receipt in the kitchen.
Do you wanna see it?
Sure.
Shit!
Bellamy, he's making a run for it.
Please. I didn't do anything.
Now, you did. You ran.
I'll do what you want...
I can't go back to jail.
I can't, man. Please.
Ah, bellamy, trevino,
I got something for you, come here.
So, I found a house down the street
from where the girl took her piano lessons
they have a door bell
camera that runs 24/7.
And between 7:30 and
9pm we have four vehicles
that pass in front of that camera.
And I got plates.
First two vehicles come
back to just retired folks
who live up on the hill,
third vehicle belongs to dad.
But at 7:37 there's a
truck here that's interesting.
What's so interesting about it?
Well, plate comes back to
a Derrick landmore, age 31,
he's a registered sex offender,
only one in the area,
been out on parole for the last two years.
What's the address?
It's an apartment building.
It's going to be 1644 west powers
and apartment six.
Good job, man.
Appreciate it.
Oh, before I forget,
I don't know if this is significant or not,
but at 7:46 there's a female in a red coat
that walks in front of that camera.
Does she ever confide in you?
Not really,
but I could tell that
something was bothering her.
Can you elaborate?
Well, she always wanted
to learn some new pop song.
But about a month ago
she asked me to teach her brahms lullaby.
And what's so special about that?
Well, no matter what I
would try to teach her
she'd always come back to that song.
To the point of obsession.
So, finally I asked her
why she loved that song.
She told me it wasn't so much the song,
but the story behind it.
A story?
Yes, you see Johannes brahms
he was a piano player when he was young,
and he was in a brothel
and he really had trouble finding love
until he met Berta.
She was a singer in his choir
and she had the most beautiful voice.
The two would take long walks together
and she'd hum part of what we now know
as brahms lullaby.
Well, after the two split,
he never found love.
Go on.
Well, a few years later, he was in Vienna,
he was at the height of his music career,
and he looked out of a
window, there was Berta.
She was pregnant
and she was married to a wealthy man
with whom she already had a child.
And that inspired him to compose
the world's most famous lullaby.
After a few months Berta named
her newborn son Johannes.
I still don't understand
why you think that's so important?
Hailey asked me if I like the name Shane.
And I said, "yes."
Then she told me
that's what she was going to call her son.
Is there anything else?
Yeah, that'll be it.
Okay, 'cause I really need to leave.
If you'd excuse me?
I would like to go over the timeline again.
We have told you everything we know.
Okay...
Hailey comes home, she does her homework,
you come home around 4:30,
you all sit down for dinner at 6pm,
and then you take Hailey
to her piano lessons.
And she tells you what?
She said she would call
when she needed a ride
umm or...
She would walk to Ella's,
her friend from school
lives about two blocks away
and Ella's parents would bring her.
And what time did you call Hailey?
At 7:45...
I called and she didn't answer her phone,
and I called Trish,
Ella's mom...
And she said she wasn't there
and umm...
Ella didn't know anything
about her coming at all...
I went directly to Mrs. Riley's house.
And what time was that?
That was eight.
Mrs. Riley said that she left at 7:25...
And I was more worried.
I did not know what to do...
And I just went and drove around.
I went by all the parks,
I went by both the schools, I went by...
I went by the church.
I even drove all the way up the freeway.
During this time, where
were you, Mrs. Easton?
She was working.
She had a major presentation
to do for the board of education
and I didn't want to interrupt that
and I didn't want to worry her
so I just told her I was going to go
to Ella's and pick Hailey up.
And this was after you
went to search for Hailey?
Right, right.
And when did you come back?
At 8:45.
I came back and told her
that I did not know were Hailey was
and we called lieutenant brigs.
And how do you know lieutenant brigs?
From church.
Excuse me.
Detective bellamy,
could I talk to you for a minute?
Yes. Thank you so much, Mr. Easton.
Check this out.
Hailey's diary.
The victim is Hailey Easton, 17 years old.
It looks like she has been assaulted
with a large and heavy
item, possibly a rock.
The techs are still looking into it.
Whoever did this is an animal.
They bashed her head in again and again.
And there's no external sign showing
that she was sexually assaulted,
and there are no defensive wounds,
so I suspect she knows who he is.
How long has she been here?
We don't know.
Lieutenant brigs said
that he received a call
from his pastor saying that
his daughter was missing.
So, we sent out couple of
officers to canvas the area.
And officers Campbell and Jacobson
they found her at 2:25am this morning.
Brigs will be breathing down our necks
until we solve this case.
I know. I know.
Hey, John, any tire marks, or prints,
or anything over here?
No, it's all mud.
Shit!
Get out there, we need witnesses,
check surveillance
footage, doorbell cameras,
and talk to the witnesses,
you know the drill.
We're on it.
We need to find this son of a bitch.
He's a fucking monster.
I've never seen you play
with so much passion.
Do you really think I am getting better?
Absolutely. Shall we try the Vivaldi song?
Oh, I have to leave.
My father is picking me up early tonight.
Hailey, be careful. Love's tricky.
See you later, Mrs. Riley.
How much time do we have?
Not much.
How's school?
Boring.
College is better.
Well, I'm not going to college.
What are you gonna do then?
I want a family.
That could be more work, you know?
I'm up for it.
How about you get us some sodas and snacks?
- How's it going? - Good.
- Anything else? - No, that's it.
11.29.
There you go, have a good night.
You too.
You know you don't
have to take off your ring
when you around me.
Where are we going?
Somewhere romantic.
Does your wife know about us?
Of course not!
You get more beautiful by the day?
Bullshit!
Is this your idea of romantic?
Come on.
Let's take a walk, watch the stars.
Did-did you mean it when
you said you love me?
With everything I have.
Come on, don't cry.
We'll figure this out.
Like you did during the abortion?
You left me all alone.
Why are you being like this?
Go home to your wife.
Don't be so dramatic.
Let me take you home.
No, you got what you came
for, just leave me alone.
Just, let me take you...
I said leave me alone
or I'll call your wife
and tell her everything.
Forgive her, my dear god.
She wed herself to the devil...
But now I've given her back to thee.
- Who are you?
- Detective trevino, homicide.
I need you to come with me.
What do you want?
We need to talk about Hailey Easton.
Hey, Roy, put that gun away.
You are under arrest for
the murder of Hailey Easton.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and
will be used against you
in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford an attorney,
one will be provided for you.
Do you understand your rights?
Let's go.
Hey, do you know when
they'll have the DNA test back
on the Easton case?
Johnson will be right out.
I have been waiting here since two.
It's two right now.
Daylight savings ended.
I hate the winter.
It's a match.
You can't be back here.
Remember that time I got your brother off
on that misdemeanor case.
Yeah. What do you want?
Payback time.
Thank you too...
Yeah.
Rios: This is rios in technical services.
The phone registered to Shane gray
pinged the cell tower near
Hailey Easton's last location.
Trevino: You're the man.
My friend at the phone company said
this is the first and last time.
Next time bring a warrant.
Well, you tell your friend
at the phone company
I owe him lunch.
He's only helping
because he knows about the case.
I appreciate it.
As I said this is the last time.
Yeah. Thanks.
Your friend is kind of sleazy.
Well done.
Is he in some kind of trouble?
Here's 50.
Thank you.
You be safe tonight, okay?
Yeah.
Bellamy: Where are you?
Yeah. I got eyes on Shane gray.
Why the hell are you following him?
Because I know it's him.
I told you to wait on this.
We don't have much time.
Lieutenant brigs wants me to help
with a double homicide.
No, but I need his phone number.
I can't do this right now.
Go home and get some sleep.
Hey, miss, how would you
like to make a quick $100?
Why, 'cause the gentleman can't last?
Creep.
No, hey, it's nothing kinky like that.
See that pretty boy in
the bar across the street.
I need his phone number,
I'll give you $50 now and
$50 when you come back.
- Just for his phone number? - Damn right.
I'll be in the car.
Lia gray she has two children.
Elora sharpe, maiden name gray, 40,
married to Duncan sharpe.
They have two minor children,
Steven age 11, Daphne age 9.
They own a flower shop in the highlands.
And then there is Shane gray, 36.
He works for a tour guide.
Married to Hannah,
has a minor son by the
name of James, age 10.
The address?
2460 east Maddison rd.
What are you thinking?
I think I'm going to pay him a visit.
Don't go near them
until I discuss this with the lieutenant.
Brigs will just slow us down.
Listen, trevino, I don't
care what you're feeling
or how obsessed you
are, but facts make a case.
And the last time you
broke into a suspect's home
without a warrant.
Aren't you tired of playing mom?
Aren't you tired acting like a child?
He's still out there, you know.
And they're right.
We're clueless.
Who are they?
The parents.
Why haven't you arrested anyone?
Mrs. Easton, there are some details
we just can't share at this moment.
I thought you would have someone by now.
We need your help.
Mrs. Easton: With what?
Is there any way that Hailey
could have had a secret affair
with an older man?
Absolutely not.
Are you sure, Mrs. Easton?
Sometimes teenagers keep
secrets from their parents.
We don't know for sure,
but we found a bottle of
after shave in Hailey's room.
It's down in evidence.
Here is a bottle of the same brand.
Does this remind you of anyone?
Pastor, anyone you know smell like this?
We have no idea what you are talking about.
Hailey was a good girl.
Have any of your friends ever shown...
Enough! You have no respect.
Trevino: We are only trying to...
You don't have a clue, detective, do you?
- Hi. - Mr. Gray?
Yes.
I'm detective trevino.
Am I in some kind of trouble?
No, sir. I'm actually
here to speak to Lia gray.
That's okay, al. I invited the gentleman.
Please come in.
Would you like some tea?
Sure.
Do you take cream or sugar?
No, thank you.
What a beautiful neighborhood
do you guys have here.
Lovely home, Mr. Gray,
how long have you been living here?
Well, a long time.
Raised the kids here.
Oh. Do you have pictures of them?
Yeah.
I've got them right here.
That's elora there,
and her husband and two kids.
And this is Shane and his wife and kid.
- What a beautiful family.
- Mr. Gray: Yeah.
What are the names of your grandchildren?
Um...
- Thank you. - This one's...
That's Steven, and next to him is Daphne.
Steven and Daphne...
And that's Shane.
And James is Shane's son
and he is a force to be reckoned with.
Yeah, that little bastard.
So, what type of work
does your son Shane do?
He's a tour guide.
And he works for a travel
agency and he sells cruises.
And your daughter?
Elora, she owns a flower store.
You mentioned in the
phone conversation that,
you were investigating the
murder of that young woman.
Yeah, and that's why I need your help.
My help?
Do you recognize this man?
What man?
Why don't we go out to the patio and talk?
My husband likes to
read the paper in silence.
Mrs. Gray: Are you married?
No. Divorced.
Any children.
One, a daughter.
And her age?
His name was Oscar latella.
He was a cab driver
who lived down the street
from your parents' house
around the same time
you were living there.
Hmm. I may remember him.
Would you know if he was involved
with any women in your neighborhood?
How would I know?
Well, you grew up there, until what age?
When I became engaged to al I moved out.
And then you worked at a bottling plant
about 10 miles away?
Yes, I did as many other
girls in the neighborhood did.
Did Mr. Latella ever drive you there?
Where are you going with this?
Listen, Mrs. Gray,
I'll be upfront with you.
We believe that Oscar latella
got a young woman pregnant
in your neighborhood, around the same time
you were living there,
and I'm just trying to find out who she is.
And you want to know if I am that girl?
Or a person you may know.
Well, I am not.
I'll need a DNA sample to verify that.
I'm not giving you a DNA sample.
Listen, Mrs. Gray.
You either want to help
us get the killer or you don't.
That bitch.
Run the name Lia Finnegan,
she used to live in the highlands.
Possibly under a different last name.
No, I'll wait.
Yeah, I'm here.
Thanks.
Where is the boss?
Right here.
Mr. Galetti?
Yes.
Detective trevino, homicide.
How may I help you?
Do you know this man?
Yes, he worked for us for a long time.
He passed away about five years ago.
How well did you know him?
I knew him pretty well.
We were good friends.
Can I sit down?
Sure.
Would you like a drink or something?
No, thanks.
Mr. Galetti, you know
if Oscar had a secret
girlfriend or something?
No. I don't know anything about that.
This is about a murder of a
young woman, 17 years old.
I-I don't see how he can be involved.
He must have had a son,
someone secret, or they kept it a secret.
Oscar was a woman's man.
Women of all ages called for him.
He had-he had the sharp eyes,
a deep voice and a lot of charm.
He was irresistible to women.
I'm looking for a young woman
that may have given birth
to a son in the early 1980's
and kept it a secret.
Hold-hold on for a
second, I'll be right back.
This is an aerial photograph
of the neighborhood
in those days.
This was my house.
This was Oscar's house.
And this was finnegans'.
They lived down the street.
They're dead now but they had
a beautiful daughter named Lia.
And Oscar used to drive her
to the local plant every day.
One night when him and I got really drunk
he told me he screwed up.
He got a woman pregnant.
But he never told me her name.
You think it's this Lia?
Could be.
Hi.
- Uncle: Hi, Charlotte.
- How are you today?
Uncle: How was school?
Hey, get away from her.
Police! Get out of the vehicle right now.
Hey, he-he is my uncle.
Yep, she is my niece.
- My bad. - Is there a problem here, dude?
I thought you were somebody else.
You two have a good night. Sorry be safe.
All right, you too, man.
There is only one explanation for this.
Aren't you hungry?
Oscar latella had a son
he didn't know about...
Or had a big secret.
I bet you it's the first.
He was a taxi cab driver.
Here's the company that he worked for.
Everywhere yellow cab.
Here you go.
I'll go check it out.
Hey, can I be honest with you?
When are you not?
I think you're getting too
emotional about the case.
Whatever, partner.
Yeah.
Bellamy: You won't believe this.
What?
The lab tested the stamp from the envelope
and they found 21 short tandem repeats
matching the killer's DNA.
You only need 15 to confirm paternity.
You're kidding?
Oscar latella is the father of the killer.
Holy shit!
Heading back.
Do you know anything about the Easton case?
What about it?
I jog by those fields where they found her.
Am I safe?
Of course you are.
Are the rumors true?
Did she really have an
affair with an older man?
Gosh!
What's wrong?
It's heartburn.
You-you want some water?
No.
I need my heartburn tablets,
they're upstairs it's the first door
on the right.
They are next to the sink.
Thank you.
- Now, get the fuck out. - What?
Get the fuck out of the apartment now.
What are you talking about?
I will sue you and the local post.
- Get out. - Ouch!
You are hurting me.
Complements of the lady.
Thank you.
Nancy: You said you didn't want milk?
Yes, thank you.
So, how may we assist you?
I'll get right to it.
We found DNA in a homicide investigation
that was a partial match to your son Tony.
What?
Excuse me?
Don't worry. He's not a suspect.
But we are certain he
is related to the killer.
How could that be?
Do you have any other adult males
in your family?
Cousins, uncles, half brothers?
My side of the family, I have no siblings.
What about you, Mr. Latella?
Yeah. My brother Oscar
passed away about five years ago.
He had two girls, Tessa
and amethyst, no sons.
I always told him that without me
the latella family name would have died.
Are you sure you don't
have any other family?
Not here. We have relatives in Italy.
Have they visited you lately?
About 10 years ago,
my cousin paolo and his wife Gabriella.
Do they have a son?
No.
Mrs. Latella, may I have
a moment with Mr. Latella?
Mr. Latella, this is a
homicide investigation.
DNA does not lie.
Do you or your brother have a son
that no-one knows about?
Of course not.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Mrs. Latella? - Yes.
I'm detective trevino.
We spoke on the phone.
Call me Hannah. Please come in.
Would you like to sit in the living room
or would you prefer sitting at a table?
- I prefer the table. - All right.
Please have a seat.
Can I get you a drink
or a slice of apple pie?
No, thank you. I already ate.
Hannah, how long ago did
your husband pass away?
It will be five years in may.
And to your knowledge
you were his first and only wife?
Yes. Why do you ask?
Hannah, a young girl was murdered.
And we found a partial match
of DNA to your nephew Tony.
Oh, that's terrible.
What does that mean?
A partial match means
that Tony isn't the killer,
but is related to him.
And I am here today
because I really do need your help.
In what way?
Could you identify the immediate members
of your family for me?
Oh. Sure. Hold on a minute.
We have two daughters.
This is Tessa and this is amethyst.
And this is Oscar with his brother Leo.
Leo is married to Nancy
and they have my niece Ella
and my nephew Tony.
And this is Oscar.
Can I take that?
I have a duplicate in the back.
I would be glad to let you have that one.
Thank you.
Hannah, to your knowledge do you know
if Oscar had any children
before you had met him?
No, I think I would know that.
Do you happen to have
anything of Oscar's DNA still on it?
Like what?
A comb, toothbrush, hairbrush?
No. I wouldn't. I threw those things away.
Anything that would be
Oscar's would most likely be
in his old study.
Could we take a look?
Sure.
How long have you been a detective?
Going on 25 years now.
You've probably seen
some pretty interesting cases.
- I have. - Here it is.
- May I? - Go ahead.
Oscar spent hours writing at this desk.
I didn't even know he
had an artistic side to him
until I discovered he wrote a novel.
I was surprised to learn
that he had a way with words.
Oscar loved writing to
his family back in Italy.
Perfect.
What's that?
It's a letter your husband
sent to an insurance company
but for some reason it was sent back.
May I take this?
Um... yes.
Thank you and I-I really appreciate this.
Why is the letter so important?
You see, if your husband wrote this,
there is a chance that the
DNA is still on the stamp
on the envelope.
Oh, like those crime shows?
Exactly. You have a great day now.
You will keep me posted?
Of course.
Hey, I got dickerson
in the conference room.
- Who? - The genetic genealogist.
You have to come see this. Come on.
- You gonna get him? - You know it.
- How are you doing? - Fine.
- Hi. - Hi.
All right.
So, this is the latella family tree.
We have dino and Francesca
they had two boys, Leo and Oscar.
Leo married a woman named Nancy.
They had two kids, Ella and Tony.
Ella has a minor of her own.
Tony has no kids and as you know
shares 25% of the killer's DNA.
Oscar married a woman named Hannah,
they had two kids, Tessa and amethyst.
Tessa has two minors of
her own, amethyst, three.
The family also has some cousins in Italy,
we can search there
but it can take some time.
I still don't see how they
can be related to Hailey?
I agree. It's farfetched.
You mean to tell me that
the only other adult male
in the family is Leo latella?
What, is he 70 or something?
Eh, 69 actually.
And as you know if Leo was the killer
then Tony would be sharing
more than 50% of his DNA.
I got Leo. You see what's up
with Hannah, Oscar's widow.
I just shot you the address. Thanks.
Dickerson: No worries.
I appreciate it, Mr. Dickerson.
My pleasure.
Open the box.
Happy birthday, dad!
Thank you, sweetie.
Mia: Yeah, you have
to download the app for it
but, um, it's supposed
to help you sleep at night,
it's got 40 different sounds of nature,
it's got rain, it got ocean
but yeah, the lights synch up...
It's perfect. Thank you.
How did dinner with mom go?
Ah, you know, couldn't
have gone any better.
You are full of it.
You know I get that a lot.
Trevino: So, how was work?
- It's good. -
Oh, James is here actually, I have to go.
Okay, well, have fun.
Happy birthday again I love you.
Thank you. I love you too.
I just want to talk, I just want to talk.
What, are you crazy?
You could've just called.
Oh, okay.
Tell me what happened?
I have been trying to get
Hailey to go out with me
for two years, okay,
and she finally said yes, okay, look.
This was two months ago, right?
You know, we went to this place
and, you know, we-we were having fun,
we sat down and she dared me to go
and ask out this girl at the bar.
Right, you know, she
was laughing her ass off
because I almost got in trouble
with the girl's boyfriend, and...
Okay, this doesn't matter, right?
What matters is, is after, right?
It was my turn.
I dared, I dared Hailey
to go talk to this guy
at the bar, you know, dark hair, mid 30's.
You know and I see them, you know,
she comes back to our table,
you know, she is smiling and blushing,
she couldn't take her
eyes off that asshole, right?
You know, and as you may expect
she never called me
again, all right, after that.
Two weeks later, after school,
I see Hailey, and I see her
get in this gray pickup truck.
Hailey doesn't have gray pickup truck.
So, I go and check and
guess who was the guy driving?
That asshole from the bar.
Did you get a good look at him?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Good. I need you to describe
him to our sketch artist.
Get up.
I want you to tell everything
that happened to your father
when you get home and I expect both of you
at the station tomorrow morning.
Now, go home.
Hey.
The next time you follow me
I'll make sure you line up at the dentist.
Fucking prick.
Bellamy.
Yeah, that's great, thank you.
Hey.
They are sending over the footage
from the bar restaurant.
That's Tony latella.
Mm-hm.
And the bar is only an hour and a half away
from where Hailey was killed.
And we knew it wasn't him
because his DNA was only a 25% match.
So, that means it's either a cousin,
a nephew or a distant uncle to the killer.
And that's why I wanted
to check out his alibi,
just to make sure he wasn't covering
for anyone in the family.
Well, we are 25% closer
to nailing the son of a bitch
who did this.
Get your own pen.
Where were you on the
night of November 9th?
At your sisters.
I don't have time for this shit.
Guillards. It's a restaurant
bar in the dry creek mountains.
What time?
8:30 to 10:00.
Do you know this girl?
Nah, I've never seen her.
You have any brothers,
male cousins, an uncle?
I have a sister, Ella,
two cousins, they're
girls, Tessa and amethyst,
and uncle Oscar but he's passed away.
Do you have a half brother
or any other male relatives
in your family that you
might be related to?
Other than my father, no.
You know I can smell a rat here.
Yeah? I can change my deodorant.
If we find out you have a male relative
and you're covering up for him
I'll send you some lube
and deodorant in jail.
Hey, papi.
Do you wanna go for a ride?
Get in.
Honey, in my line of business,
if you don't get paid up front,
you just get fucked.
- Get in. - Ah, shit.
Have you seen this red pickup truck?
I got couple of regulars
with a truck like that.
Can you describe them for me?
One's a...
He's a redhead, a
little on the chubby side.
He is into s&m,
squeals like a little piggy.
The other, he is a good looking guy,
got a short beard, man of very few words,
he's quiet, he likes to pull hair.
Have either of them
taken it too far with you?
The good looking one gave me a bloody nose.
Would be able to recognize
them if I put them into a line up?
Will they have their pants on?
If you see that red pickup truck again
write down its license plate and call me.
Can I call you for a date?
Stay out of trouble.
No, I won't.
- We got a break. - What?
The DNA tests
from the bar's customers came back.
We've got a Tony latella
who's a 25% match to the killer.
Cousin, maybe distant relative.
Unbelievable. Give me that.
He is a road worker that
works not far from here.
Let's bring him in.
Sorry I am late.
No worries.
So, how's life?
Good. How about you?
I'm not complaining.
Hi.
Is there anything I can get
you two to drink this evening?
You want some wine?
No, thank you.
I'll just have some water please.
I'll have the draft, the ipa.
Thank you.
The house is under contract.
It's yours. You can do
whatever you want with it.
Have you talked to Mia lately?
No.
She is moving in with
James. I think it's serious.
You know, maybe you
should call her more often.
Daughters need their fathers.
What is so funny?
- Nothing. - Please tell me.
It's just that you can't
even wait two minutes
before you start criticizing me.
I'm moving out of state.
I'm moving to New York.
Is that where he lives? Chuck?
Waiter: All right, are you ready to order?
Yes. I'll...
I'll have your avocado salad
with dressing on the side please.
No bread. - Waiter: For you, sir?
Chicken Alfredo for me.
Have you been taking your anti-depressants?
Why are you asking?
Just curious.
I can handle the truth.
Just not my criticism.
No, but I'd like to hear it.
You are not blinking
and your eyes look glassy.
Happy?
Are you going to therapy?
Are you?
I'm not the one pulling my hair out.
You know there is a
name for your condition,
it's called trichotillomania.
Have you told your
therapist that you do that?
You know, you used to be supportive.
You used to be my husband.
I don't know who you are now.
Why am I here?
I wanted to say goodbye.
Oh, how nice.
I don't know what love
becomes between two people
who have grown apart?
Concern, I guess.
In a hypothetical world,
how could we grow closer?
There is no way.
What can I do to become better?
You help all your victims' families
with their pain.
But you do nothing about yours.
Sorry.
Hi. Yes, I am fine.
I just can't talk right now. I
am in the middle of something.
I know. I promise, I...
Detective trevino.
- You called the station? - Yeah, I did.
I've got some video
footage I need to show you.
Come on back here.
I've got two cameras,
one on the outside, and one on the corner.
This is from November 9th at 7:32pm.
I recognized the girl from the news.
Here's the outside camera.
Can we see the truck?
No.
Anyone else in the area
have security cameras?
Just the gas station over by the highway.
Here, I'll need a copy of these files.
Good morning.
Hey, detectives. Follow me.
My customers were pissed.
I had to tell them the liquor board came in
and we didn't properly ID an agent.
But I was able to get the
girls to take some pictures
underneath the bar.
Here's your DNA.
Wow, you should come work with us.
Trevino: I'll go pull
the car around the back.
Go get that son of a bitch.
I will.
Shit. Fuck!
Tell us what you can about Hailey Easton.
I'd be happy to help detectives.
Bellamy: Who brought her in?
Her mother.
What was the diagnosis?
This stays between us.
Of course, doctor.
Ppd.
Paranoid personality disorder.
What is that?
People with ppd have a general feeling
that they are being lied to.
They don't trust their
family, their friends...
They have bursts of anger
and they can often be
controlling in relationships
in order to avoid feeling exploited.
They look for hidden meaning
in conversations and gestures.
They have a hard time relaxing.
They generally have a negative outlook
on other people.
How was Hailey dealing with this?
She saw it as a form of punishment.
This?
Yes, our mental health clinic here
and her stay with us.
What type of punishment exactly, doctor?
I believe it was for being intimate
with her boyfriend.
What's the boyfriend's name?
Matt.
And how did she feel about Matt?
She thought he was a bit immature.
Abusive? Drugs?
No. Just a general distrust.
She believed he was lying to her.
About what?
Well, about everything.
That's how ppd works.
What causes this disorder?
Ppd is predominantly psychological.
The more we study the brain
the more we will understand.
There is a genetic
background to it as well.
Especially in families with
a history of schizophrenia.
Are there any disorders
like this in Hailey's family?
No. Not that I am aware of.
She was here for a month.
Why was she discharged?
I believed she was doing better.
And she asked to go home.
That's where teenagers belong.
Did she ever tell you that
she was afraid of anyone?
No.
Thank you, Dr. Raycard.
Have you noticed any
changes in Hailey's behavior
or performance this semester?
Academically she did well,
and I noticed her demeanor changed.
How so?
She acted angry,
antisocial towards her peers.
And in November her mother pulled her out
and admitted her
to the behavior mental health clinic.
How long was she in the clinic?
- About a month. - Do you know why?
From what her mother said
some type of mental breakdown.
So, you do have a relationship
with Hailey's parents?
Yeah.
Pastor Easton is a mentor
here to some of the children,
including my own.
And what about Mrs. Easton?
She is a very private.
Do you think
Hailey and Mrs. Easton
had a good relationship?
Yes.
You sure?
Anything we need to be
concerned about on the home front?
Well, she seemed to have
issues with organized religion,
but in reading her essays
I figured that was
typical teenage rebellion.
And even when Hailey
was acting more abrupt,
she-she was adored.
Thank you, Mrs. Garett.
If you think of anything significant,
feel free to reach out.
Thank you.
I understand this is a difficult time.
But I need to know more about Hailey.
Did she participate in church?
Oh, yeah. All her life.
Did she like it? Or did she
do it because she had to?
Hailey loved helping people.
And how did she help them?
Well, she was charismatic.
She attracted people
from all walks of life.
Did you notice anyone getting close lately?
No.
Hailey had a sixth sense.
She could look at someone
and feel their suffering.
In fact just like now.
I can see your suffering, detective.
- Are you married? - Divorced.
Children?
One, a daughter.
But it goes deeper than
that, doesn't it, detective?
And we can help with that.
Did Hailey's mood change lately?
Many teenagers lose their way.
We take derailed children
and put them back on track
before the devil can take hold.
And it's my sacred duty to free them
from the antichrist.
And what if you can't?
Many people go though their entire lives
following the attractive
allure of the false prophet.
You know, detective, that
the beast is everywhere.
Pastor Easton, we all
want the same thing here.
Can you help me find Hailey's killer?
Shouldn't I be asking that question?
Please give me a call if
anything comes to mind.
Wherever Jesus went
he was a preacher of hell.
His very first sermon
in the new testament...
Is Matthew 5:29.
"If thy right eye offend
thee, pluck it out,
and cast it from thee,
for it is profitable for thee
that one of thy members should perish,
"and not that whole body
should be cast into hell."
Jesus is teaching us
that adultery is to be
avoided as an action...
And as a thought.
Even if our bodies are not...
Jesus wants our hearts to be pure.
Jesus is our savior
because he is going to save us
from a very real place,
he wants to rescue you from hell.
Eternal punishment as he
says about the pharisees
for releasing the hounds of hell.
It is better for you to experience
a moment of loss in this life,
than to be cast into
a lake of fire forever.
- What can I get you? - Glass of water.
And you?
I would like to speak with the owner.
That would be me.
Who's asking?
Detective bellamy.
Let me get that water.
So, this guy walks into a bar
with a revolver and he yells,
"who's been sleeping with my wife?"
And the guy from across the bar yells,
"you don't have enough
bullets, man."
When was the last time
you've been on a date?
So, what's this about?
We are investigating a homicide
that happened on the hill from here.
I'm aware.
Did you see anything, heard anything,
know of anyone that could have done it?
No.
Could we ask you for a favor?
And that's if you wanna help of course.
- Sure. - Let's walk through this again.
Hailey's body was here.
And the parking lot is
half a mile from here.
So, how did Hailey's body end up here
without any track marks?
The crime scene techs
only found a piece of rope
and a piece of black duct tape.
But not on her.
What do we know about her?
She is artistic, she is good in school,
she loves photography,
she doesn't like a lot of attention.
I'm trying to remember
what that age was like.
Trying to go back to how it was.
Yeah, lots of things are happening
when you are 17.
Well, I remember two things.
My sudden interest in boys,
and my sudden interest
in exploring the world.
I wanted to go see places
and I wanted to leave.
Yeah, we all did.
Well, let's say she came here with him.
They fool around,
she tells him no and he kills her.
But the lab only found
a small spot of semen on her underwear.
But none in her.
Well, maybe they got interrupted.
Maybe he put on a condom,
she tells him no and he hits her.
But why here?
Killers usually drop
bodies in familiar places.
Besides there is a parking lot
over there, what else is there?
There is a bar down
the hill about a mile or so.
All right, let's go check it out.
Trevino: That's why I don't
like that ex boyfriend of hers, Matt.
Yeah, well, whoever did it
had a lot of emotional built up.
It was definitely an overkill.
I mean, she knew her killer.
Exactly, that's why Matt fits the profile.
He's the stalking type.
Have you ever been obsessed with a girl?
- Kind of. - Did you follow her around?
A little bit.
Well, that doesn't make you a killer.
Bellamy.
Yeah. That's great.
That's great. Hey, hey, keep me posted.
They found a spot of
semen on Hailey's underwear.
We have DNA.
Did they run the DNA?
But what we have wasn't a match.
Neither was the codis or the database.
We're getting closer.
Let's go to the fields.
I'm in law enforcement
and always wanted to be.
I-I love the outdoors. Hiking.
I love to travel,
I love animals and photography
and I love scuba diving.
I love animals.
What so...
What did I say?
Listen, I will make this easier for you.
What are you really looking for?
Are you looking for something long-term,
are you looking for a friend
or are you looking to just hook up?
I don't know...
So, how about this, when
you know what you want
you can send me a message.
Okay.
Take care now, Vinnie.
You too. Bye.
Fuck.
Here are our three suspects.
First we have Matt Hammond,
17 years old, ex-boyfriend.
They dated, she dumps
him, he didn't like it.
So, let's say he picks Hailey
up from her piano lessons.
They drive to the parking
lot, go out into the fields,
they argue, things gets
out of hand, he kills her.
Now, he tells officer Campbell
that he was home alone
during the night of the murder,
however, his parents are out having dinner.
So, there is no-one to
corroborate his story.
Next, we have Derrick landmore,
sex offender, serves five
years in the state prison
for raping a minor, gets
out on good conduct.
Works for a tree trimming company.
No troubles in the past two years.
His girlfriend says
he was with her from 8:30 to 11:30.
Now, let's say Hailey leaves
her piano lessons at 7:25.
He's coming home from work,
he sees Hailey, he abducts her,
he takes her to the
parking lot, he assaults her.
He doesn't wanna go back to jail,
so he takes her out in
the field and he kills her.
But in order for him to do so,
there is a very narrow window.
Less than an hour if
we believe his girlfriend.
And here we have Kevin
gardiner, ageless old hippy.
66 years old, no priors except
for a few drugs in the 1970's.
He's never stayed in one
place more than two years.
Jobs all over the place,
mainly truck driving,
however, I have found two
missing girls in every area
that he stayed in, in the last six years.
Every place has missing girls?
That is correct.
But he is the only suspect
who has Hailey's
belongings in his possession.
And he has no witness to verify
that he was alone during
the night of the murder.
Well, we've swabbed
all three of these creeps.
Now, all we're missing is
some good news from the lab.
No. Don't do it.
You boy? You're Matt, aren't you?
I know who you are.
Hey, let him go.
What the hell did she ever do to you?
- Let him go. Let him go.
- Get your hands off me!
You are going to rot in hell boy.
I know you did this.
Get your hands off me.
How does this help?
What are you doing about it?
I'm working day and
night to solve this case.
Oh, man, you are afraid of this kid
because his dad is a
hot shot lawyer in town.
Yeah, and we need evidence.
I know you did it.
Where were you on the night of the 9th?
I was home.
Can anyone corroborate this?
My dog, but he is a German Shepherd,
I don't think he speaks English.
So, you decided to walk your dog at 5am.
Why dove's park?
I can let the dog off the leash.
How often do you go there?
Two, three times a week.
Is that the only reason you go up there?
You see, Mr. Gardiner,
a complaint was filed
against you last summer.
It appears you like to
go at dove's park at night
and watch couples make out.
You even got caught filming one of them.
Stupid kids.
They're-they're full of shit.
There was a meteor shower
and I was trying to film it.
Is that you?
This was taken by security cameras
at a gas station near doves park.
On the 9th at 7:41pm.
You bought a six pack of beer,
and it appears that you
were headed that way.
Who did you see, Mr. Gardiner?
This is serious.
There was this truck.
It's parked on the other
side of the parking lot.
After about five minutes
this couple got out,
they walked down to the fields.
What kind of truck?
Pickup truck.
I don't know the model.
Silver or gray.
Can you describe the couple?
No. It was... it was too dark.
But, she was petite...
He was 6 feet tall.
Then?
I, uh, I walked out to the other side
of the parking lot, by the truck.
And I saw the beany on the ground,
as I was reaching down to pick it up
I heard this other car come
down the road so I turned around
and I went back to my car.
What type of car came down the road?
Dark SUV.
They all look the same.
And what did the SUV do?
Well, it parked right behind me.
Lights turned off, there was no movement.
And?
Well, it's a big parking lot.
And it was kind of weird,
right behind me and no lights.
So, I got the hell out of there.
Did you have your dog with you?
No.
I don't believe you, Mr. Gardiner
but you have a chance
to prove your innocence.
How do I do that?
I want your DNA.
Hi, eh, I have information
on the Hailey Easton case.
Pretty cool, eh?
Tell you what, you
can have it for 10 bucks.
Bye.
Do you have a moment?
Come in.
I'm sorry to bother you, Mrs. Easton,
but there is something I need to ask you?
How close were you and Hailey?
Very close.
Do you think she'd tell you her secrets?
I certainly hope so.
This is a patient log
from an abortion clinic in sommerville.
Hailey had a procedure
done there three weeks ago
and on the 27th of October.
Did you know anything
about this, Mrs. Easton?
No.
I'm sorry to be the one telling you this.
Would you happen to know who the father is?
Is pastor here?
He's at a sermon, and...
You cannot share any of this with him.
May I ask why?
You will break his heart.
Don't you think he
needs to know about this?
He's very strict.
He doesn't believe in premarital sex.
A man should have
pure feelings for a woman.
Is it possible that he may
have known about the abortion
maybe through a receipt,
or a credit card statement,
or maybe from rumors from his kids
in his youth group?
No, no, he wouldn't.
If he knew, I would know about it.
Why do you say that?
Because it would be my fault.
It would have been my
relaxed parenting style
that brought this.
To your knowledge, did
Hailey have a boyfriend?
I knew about that Matt
kid, but Hailey told me,
and I believe her, that
that was just a few kisses
and that was over four months ago.
Matt wanted to go back with her, though.
Thank you, Mrs. Easton,
and I promise to keep this between us.
So, I went through Hailey's journal.
Go to her entry where I marked.
September 23rd.
"I'm gaining weight."
It's like I'm eating for two. Papa knows.
I can tell by the way he looks at me.
But how?
I hope to see smiley face soon.
"I can't stop thinking about smiley face."
Read the first two sentences again.
"I'm gaining weight. It's
like I'm eating for two."
She's pregnant.
Read the next one. October 26th.
"I don't know what to do,
the appointment is tomorrow.
I'm torn. Smiley face is sad face."
Holy shit. Is that the
date of the abortion?
Exactly, and there are only two places
that perform abortions around here.
The women's hospital
and the clinic in somerville.
- Well, this changes everything.
- That's right.
There weren't any at the women's hospital
that day, and there
were two at sommerville.
They wouldn't release the
names, and we need a warrant.
- Now, we know the motive. - Yes.
She confronted him and he lost his shit.
So, smiley face turns her into bloody face.
That's why I don't like Matt for this.
Why?
Why not confront him at school?
She had plenty of opportunities.
And why go to an empty parking lot
in the middle of nowhere?
So, you think it was
someone outside of school?
Exactly. And which relationships end badly?
- Affairs. - Mm-hm.
He was an older man,
married and he had a lot to lose.
But this is why I don't
want to rule out Matt.
Picture this, Matt hears a rumor at school
that Hailey's pregnant.
He picks her up from the piano lesson,
drives her out to the parking lot.
She tells him she is pregnant
with someone else's baby,
it escalates, he kills
her in a jealous rage.
Most murderers end up being
a boyfriend, a husband or an ex.
That's a good point.
You know I had that kid in my car,
he stunk like a skunk.
- No, after shave. - What after shave?
The after shave I found in Hailey's room
hidden behind some books.
How did I miss that?
It's in evidence, bar code number 122468.
Enia hutchinson?
Yes.
Hi, I'm detective Nola bellamy.
I wanted to ask you some questions
about Hailey Easton.
I understand you two were close.
Do you mind if I sit with you for a moment?
Sure.
So, how's school treating you?
Okay.
Loving algebra?
Is it fair to say you and
Hailey were best friends?
She didn't really trust a lot of people.
Why do you say that?
It was a character thing.
Did she trust you?
I guess.
What about boys?
Was there anyone she was in love with?
Um, I think so.
Would you know who?
No. She didn't really talk about him.
Was it Matt Hammond, her ex?
I don't think so.
I think he might have been older.
Why do you say that?
She started wearing a lot of makeup.
She wouldn't constantly complain
about how immature high school boys were.
She also became really distant.
How so?
She stopped talking to me.
But you know, Mrs. Garett,
she is her literature teacher and advisor,
can't talk to her now, she's been sick,
but I know Hailey confided in her.
Thank you, enia.
I have one more question.
Why did Hailey stop talking to you?
Em...
I was looking through her bag
for a marker...
And I found...
It's okay.
A pregnancy test.
Whoa!
Police.
What the hell, man?
Detective trevino. Homicide.
Nice to meet you, Matt.
What do you want?
The way people drive around here,
it's pretty dangerous on a skateboard.
Why don't you get in?
Yeah, sorry, my dad is a lawyer.
Good you gonna need him,
because I saw you in the alley...
Now get in.
So, where do you live?
Five streets down, take a right.
Here...
Take a piece.
You reek like weed.
Look, is this about Hailey?
Yeah, and I know the back story.
She dumped you and
you continued to stalk her.
Look I had nothing to do
with what happened to her.
I want to believe you, kid, so convince me.
We went out a few
times, it didn't work out.
That's not what the eastons said.
They said you continued
to follow her everywhere,
and became obsessed with her.
The right is coming up.
Any idea who could have done it?
What, you like taking pictures of girls
and going home back at
night and punching the clown?
- Eh, what, are you a virgin?
- Oh, fuck you. Let me out.
Give me the fucking camera.
Moving on. She looks like Hailey.
Give me the camera.
Should we show these to her parents?
Give it to me!
Look, when my dad
finds out about all this
he's gonna have your badge.
No, he won't.
Then I'll show him this.
Here's the deal.
You're going to give me a nice little swab
and you get to go home.
You say no, I play my cards.
Capisce?
Look, if my parents ever find about this,
I'll make sure you get what you deserve.
I don't have much time can
you please keep this quick.
Sure.
How long have you known Derrick landmore?
I don't know, about a year now.
And were you with him on
the night of November 9th?
Yes, ma'am. At his place.
What time exactly?
Around 8:30 at night.
What did you do?
We watched a movie.
Which one?
Em... the unlikely winner.
Did you stay the night?
No.
I left around 11:30, I
was home by midnight.
Was Derrick acting
anxious, or a little weird?
No, not really.
Did he have any mud on him, was he sweaty,
was there any blood on him?
No, no.
He had just gotten out of the shower.
Why are you asking this?
How would you describe Derrick's moods,
is he calm, little violent,
does he have sudden mood changes?
No. He is very relaxed.
He smokes a lot of weed.
What about in the bedroom?
Is he aggressive or respectful?
That's kind of personal.
Hey, listen,
he's part of a homicide case right now.
So, if there's anything
that you can help us to clear him,
that would be great?
He is kinky.
Yes, he likes to dress me up like a nun,
or a school girl, you know, role playing,
but you guys don't know him.
He is actually kind of a wimp.
And how's that?
Many times, after sex
he breaks down crying.
Look, I've got to go.
Hey, hey, hey, wait.
Why does he cry, Heather?
He doesn't want to go back to jail.
You can guess, having raped a young girl,
what they do to you in there, right?
I hope you find who
it is you're looking for,
but it ain't Derrick.
I'll be right with you.
Detective bellamy.
Detective trevino.
We would like to ask you some questions?
Sure. Come in.
Can I get you guys anything?
No, thanks.
We would like to know your whereabouts
on November 9th,
which was last Thursday.
I got home around 8pm.
And where were you before that?
Work.
I had to dump some branches,
I work for a tree trimming company.
And where you at work alone?
No, bill was there.
We finished around...
6pm and then I loaded my
truck took it to the dump site.
The boss pays me extra
if I use my own truck.
What color is your truck?
It's red. A thunder 180.
So, you are home around eight.
What did you do next?
Eh.
My girlfriend came by.
What's your girlfriend's name?
Heather Wilkins.
How can we find her?
She works at a coffee
shop in the highlands.
The Brazilian bean.
What's her telephone number?
719-555-0121.
So, what did you and Heather do?
We hung out. Watched a movie.
What movie?
Some thriller.
Can't remember the
name of it, rented it online.
Can you prove it?
Sure.
It should show in my account.
Here it is.
November 9th, 9:24pm.
That's good.
Also, ordered a pizza.
I may have the receipt in the kitchen.
Do you wanna see it?
Sure.
Shit!
Bellamy, he's making a run for it.
Please. I didn't do anything.
Now, you did. You ran.
I'll do what you want...
I can't go back to jail.
I can't, man. Please.
Ah, bellamy, trevino,
I got something for you, come here.
So, I found a house down the street
from where the girl took her piano lessons
they have a door bell
camera that runs 24/7.
And between 7:30 and
9pm we have four vehicles
that pass in front of that camera.
And I got plates.
First two vehicles come
back to just retired folks
who live up on the hill,
third vehicle belongs to dad.
But at 7:37 there's a
truck here that's interesting.
What's so interesting about it?
Well, plate comes back to
a Derrick landmore, age 31,
he's a registered sex offender,
only one in the area,
been out on parole for the last two years.
What's the address?
It's an apartment building.
It's going to be 1644 west powers
and apartment six.
Good job, man.
Appreciate it.
Oh, before I forget,
I don't know if this is significant or not,
but at 7:46 there's a female in a red coat
that walks in front of that camera.
Does she ever confide in you?
Not really,
but I could tell that
something was bothering her.
Can you elaborate?
Well, she always wanted
to learn some new pop song.
But about a month ago
she asked me to teach her brahms lullaby.
And what's so special about that?
Well, no matter what I
would try to teach her
she'd always come back to that song.
To the point of obsession.
So, finally I asked her
why she loved that song.
She told me it wasn't so much the song,
but the story behind it.
A story?
Yes, you see Johannes brahms
he was a piano player when he was young,
and he was in a brothel
and he really had trouble finding love
until he met Berta.
She was a singer in his choir
and she had the most beautiful voice.
The two would take long walks together
and she'd hum part of what we now know
as brahms lullaby.
Well, after the two split,
he never found love.
Go on.
Well, a few years later, he was in Vienna,
he was at the height of his music career,
and he looked out of a
window, there was Berta.
She was pregnant
and she was married to a wealthy man
with whom she already had a child.
And that inspired him to compose
the world's most famous lullaby.
After a few months Berta named
her newborn son Johannes.
I still don't understand
why you think that's so important?
Hailey asked me if I like the name Shane.
And I said, "yes."
Then she told me
that's what she was going to call her son.
Is there anything else?
Yeah, that'll be it.
Okay, 'cause I really need to leave.
If you'd excuse me?
I would like to go over the timeline again.
We have told you everything we know.
Okay...
Hailey comes home, she does her homework,
you come home around 4:30,
you all sit down for dinner at 6pm,
and then you take Hailey
to her piano lessons.
And she tells you what?
She said she would call
when she needed a ride
umm or...
She would walk to Ella's,
her friend from school
lives about two blocks away
and Ella's parents would bring her.
And what time did you call Hailey?
At 7:45...
I called and she didn't answer her phone,
and I called Trish,
Ella's mom...
And she said she wasn't there
and umm...
Ella didn't know anything
about her coming at all...
I went directly to Mrs. Riley's house.
And what time was that?
That was eight.
Mrs. Riley said that she left at 7:25...
And I was more worried.
I did not know what to do...
And I just went and drove around.
I went by all the parks,
I went by both the schools, I went by...
I went by the church.
I even drove all the way up the freeway.
During this time, where
were you, Mrs. Easton?
She was working.
She had a major presentation
to do for the board of education
and I didn't want to interrupt that
and I didn't want to worry her
so I just told her I was going to go
to Ella's and pick Hailey up.
And this was after you
went to search for Hailey?
Right, right.
And when did you come back?
At 8:45.
I came back and told her
that I did not know were Hailey was
and we called lieutenant brigs.
And how do you know lieutenant brigs?
From church.
Excuse me.
Detective bellamy,
could I talk to you for a minute?
Yes. Thank you so much, Mr. Easton.
Check this out.
Hailey's diary.
The victim is Hailey Easton, 17 years old.
It looks like she has been assaulted
with a large and heavy
item, possibly a rock.
The techs are still looking into it.
Whoever did this is an animal.
They bashed her head in again and again.
And there's no external sign showing
that she was sexually assaulted,
and there are no defensive wounds,
so I suspect she knows who he is.
How long has she been here?
We don't know.
Lieutenant brigs said
that he received a call
from his pastor saying that
his daughter was missing.
So, we sent out couple of
officers to canvas the area.
And officers Campbell and Jacobson
they found her at 2:25am this morning.
Brigs will be breathing down our necks
until we solve this case.
I know. I know.
Hey, John, any tire marks, or prints,
or anything over here?
No, it's all mud.
Shit!
Get out there, we need witnesses,
check surveillance
footage, doorbell cameras,
and talk to the witnesses,
you know the drill.
We're on it.
We need to find this son of a bitch.
He's a fucking monster.
I've never seen you play
with so much passion.
Do you really think I am getting better?
Absolutely. Shall we try the Vivaldi song?
Oh, I have to leave.
My father is picking me up early tonight.
Hailey, be careful. Love's tricky.
See you later, Mrs. Riley.
How much time do we have?
Not much.
How's school?
Boring.
College is better.
Well, I'm not going to college.
What are you gonna do then?
I want a family.
That could be more work, you know?
I'm up for it.
How about you get us some sodas and snacks?
- How's it going? - Good.
- Anything else? - No, that's it.
11.29.
There you go, have a good night.
You too.
You know you don't
have to take off your ring
when you around me.
Where are we going?
Somewhere romantic.
Does your wife know about us?
Of course not!
You get more beautiful by the day?
Bullshit!
Is this your idea of romantic?
Come on.
Let's take a walk, watch the stars.
Did-did you mean it when
you said you love me?
With everything I have.
Come on, don't cry.
We'll figure this out.
Like you did during the abortion?
You left me all alone.
Why are you being like this?
Go home to your wife.
Don't be so dramatic.
Let me take you home.
No, you got what you came
for, just leave me alone.
Just, let me take you...
I said leave me alone
or I'll call your wife
and tell her everything.
Forgive her, my dear god.
She wed herself to the devil...
But now I've given her back to thee.
