OFFICER:
Ayer police.Hi. I'm an attorney, and I'm calling
regarding evidence from a 1983 case.
Your flame, please?
Um...
Abra Rice.
If they realize I'm one
of the Waters kids,
God knows what they'd do
to the evidence. You know?
I just don't trust them.
ABRA:
You could haveused your married name.
Yeah, but then
when I want to be me,
I won't be able to
'cause I was someone else.
I want to be me
when I need to be me.
So to solve this problem,
you decided to be me?
Just this once.
Nice. Yeah,
l love those shoes.
But from this point on...
You need me to be me.
Right.
Okay. So what did the Ayer
Police tell me, again?
They don't have the
evidence there anymore.
It's at the courthouse
where we had Kenny's trial.
That's where I need you
to call on Monday.
On Monday. Okay.
I understand
if you can't help.
I mean, I don't wanna do anything
to jeopardize your new job.
I mean, this is my cause, not yours.
It's my cause, too.
Okay. Does this make me
look like Barbara Bush?
A little.
Yeah.
I don't deserve
a friend like you.
You're damn right
you don't.
That's right.
Waters. 1983.
Okay, well, isn't it possible
that it's still In.,.
(WHISPERING) What?
What are they saying?
Do you have an actual date
when that would have happened?
(WHISPERS)
What happened?
Okay. Thank you.
What? What did they say?
What did they say?
Aura.
(SIGHS)
Berry, they destroyed n.
What?
According to
Massachusetts law,
they destroy evidence
after 10 years,
and Kenny's evidence was
destroyed in April, 1993.
(VOICE BREAKING)
That is not possible.
I did come this far,
after all this time...
I'm sorry.
No, wait
It has to be there. No. It has to be there.
it's his only chance.
Look, we're gonna
make them look for it.
Honey, there's
nothing to look for.
We're gonna make them look for it.
Sorry.
We're gonna make
them look for it.
ABRA:
I understandwhat your records...
BETTY:
I know,but I was hoping that
by some chance, the sample might
have been left at your lab.
But the woman I spoke to last
week said she would look.
Alice O'Malley.
Okay, well, is Kathleen
Higgins still working there?
She testified at
the original trial.
Linda Clarke.
And she checked every single
box in that basement?
(WHISPERS)
Ask for the supervisor.
Can I speak to your
supervisor, please?
(EXHALES)
Okay. Well,
thanks for looking.
Mrs. Halloran?
Hi, this is Abra Rice again.
I'm sure Ms. Clarke
searched thoroughly.
Yeah, if you yourself
could look.
(WHISPERS) Yeah.
What?
No, I didn't realize
you already...
Yeah. Okay, thanks.
Your mother's not
in the best mood.
Something happen?
Okay. Start eating.
Here, baby. Aura?
(SIGHING)
What's wrong, Ma?
Naming.
Come on, start eating your
food, it's gonna get cold.
So, how's your
fathers new girlfriend?
What is She, 14? 15?
You tell them.
They have a right to know.
What?
What?
It's just a setback.
Berry.
What am I gonna do, Abra? Give up?
Is that what you're saying?
It's gone.
They maxed?
Can't they look again?
They did.
Mistakes happen.
Obviously, or Kenny
wouldn't be in prison.
Berry, they destroyed n.
No.
That evidence exists Somewhere
and I'm gonna find it.
Okay. Let's say
you do find it.
What if the DNA
matches Kenny's?
Get out. Get the hell out
of my house right now!
No, you gotta hear this.
Even if you're
the most amazing fighter,
the most brilliant
lawyer in the world,
there are forces greater than
you and you may not win!
You think I haven't
thought of that?
No. You haven't.
Just go.
Sorry, boys.
(DOOR CLOSING)
It's just a setback.
Eat your food.
Come on.
Good morning.
Can I help you?
Yeah.
I'm an attorney, Abra Rice,
and I'm trying to locate evidence
from the Kenneth Waters trial.
Yeah, we spoke
on the phone.
Did you check
with the courthouse?
Yeah, and they
can't locate it.
Yeah, well, like I said, they
probably destroyed it by now.
I mean, it's been,
like, what...
Betty Anne Waters?
You know, I'm sorry,
I don't....
Lieutenant Daniels.
I knew your brother Kenny.
I was a rookie here when...
You're his sister?
But I am an attorney,
and he is my client.
DANIELS:
Holy sh*t!My sister won't even
send me a birthday card!
I was just telling Ms.
Waters that we don't have any evidence here.
Here? From back then?
That's a lot of years.
Would you mind looking?
You're really
his lawyer, huh?
Yeah.
That's it for the old evidence.
And there's nowhere else?
That's it,
just supplies.
Working hard for your brother.
I wish I had better news for you.
How's Kenny holding up?
Not so great.
I remember that case.
Funny guy, that Kenny.
I gotta tell ya,
even with what he did...
He didn't do it.
I liked Kenny.
We all liked him.
Nancy Taylor didn't.
Yeah, well, Nancy Taylor
doesn't work here anymore.
Why new
She got herself into
a little hot water.
(TELEPHONE RINGING)
Groton Police Department.
Chief O'Connell's office.
No. He's not available
right now, sir.
I gave him
your message.
I understand.
I will let him know.
Why aren't you
a cop anymore?
I left the force
when I got married.
Really? You mean it had nothing to
do with you framing another cop?
I beg your pardon?
What was his name?
Oh, yeah, Stanley Randall.
He found out
that you were dirty,
so you got a waitress from the Rusty
Scupper to accuse him of rape.
(SCOFFS)
Is that what they
told you over in Ayer?
I'm sure you can imagine
what it was like
to be the only woman on
that police force. Hmm?
I wasn't dirty, and the
rape charge wasn't false.
The truth is, they never got
over me solving the Brow murder.
You didn't solve it.
You put an innocent man in prison.
I am sorry you have
wasted your life on this.
Your brother
killed that Woman.
(CLANKING)
(KIDS SHOUTING)
Hi, Don.
Hi, Betty.
Is she sleeping?
She usually is at 5:00
in the morning. (LAUGHS)
Come on in.
I'll get her up.
Thanks.
Baby, sweetheart.
Guess who?
I wish we could use this.
I mean, she framed a cop, for Chrissakes.
It still doesn't prove
she framed Kenny,
I mean,
it wouldn't be enough.
Thank you.
ABRA:
No.it's not enough for a new trial.
God, I hate the damn legal system.
it's so f***ing inconvenient.
I'm sorry I kicked you
out of my house.
It's okay.
Your mac and cheese sucks.
You were wearing that outfit
when you said you were me?
Yeah. Too bad being you
