Eye for an Eye Page #2

- OK.

- I'm not a neurotic.

- Don't act like one.

She's all I've got left.

- You've got me, too.

- I know I do.

Mrs McCann. How are you?

I'm all right. I was just wondering

how the investigation was coming.

The investigation

is coming along very well.

Good. What does that mean?

- Well, why don't you take a seat?

- Thanks.

You don't want all the details.

It'll just make it harder.

There's nothing you can tell me

that's worse than what I imagine.

We've got a couple of leads on delivery

guys who were at your house that day.

We will subpoena their blood.

And we've got some samples

of his skin from under her fingernails.

Maybe not enough for DNA testing.

Do you want me to stop?

We also have a medium sperm sample

mixed with your daughter's blood.

That's...

That's good evidence of forced...

Well, anyway, that's about it for now.

That's good, right?

You're gonna catch this guy.

Mrs McCann. I feel real good

about it. Real confident.

Sweet tooth?

Poor man's truth serum.

Caffeine and sugar.

- You want one?

- All right.

- Truth serum?

- Sure, you know,

"I confess, I did it, but please...

don't tell my mother. "

This is a support group for parents

who've lost their children to violence.

Maybe it'll help.

You show me your heartbreak,

I'll show you mine?

What fun.

- Are you ready for this?

- We're late, let's skip it.

No, no. Come on, let's go.

And this guy that killed her

got out on bail.

He's free to hang out with his friends.

My baby sister's gone for ever

and I don't know how to deal with it.

How are you supposed

to process this?

- How do you forgive someone like him?

- You can't let it fester in you, Tony.

- There is another kind of justice.

- Oh, no, don't say that.

- It won't solve anything.

- Look...

I'm Irish Catholic

and I know killing is a mortal sin.

And I know my little sister's in heaven.

And I want to see her again.

Albert, do you want to go next?

Tim was twelve

when a man named

Dexter Winter shot him in the head.

Winter was robbing

a convenience store.

Tim just happened to be there.

His lawyer claimed

he'd suffered child abuse.

Got his conviction reduced

from murder to manslaughter.

- Jesus!

- Manslaughter.

Do they know

what life is like without my son?

Winter got paroled last week.

He'll be on the street in two weeks.

Here he is.

Francesca, dear.

Why don't you say something now?

When my son's killer got paroled,

I planted a tree because I needed...

- Come on.

- I'm talking about healing.

But the killer is walking.

- He's walking.

- I needed to sleep at night.

- Let's not do this.

- Let it go.

All right.

All right, everybody. Take it easy.

Come on, calm down. All right?

Everybody just take a deep breath.

What's this? Oh, no.

It's my arch-enemy, Moby Duck.

Oh, no.

Megan!

Five more minutes before bedtime.

We've got some new petitions here.

We need lots of signatures,

so after you get your coffee,

please bring it over and sign these.

We need your help.

Nothing's going to go wrong.

Why do you keep saying that?

You're not making it any easier.

- Nothing will go wrong.

- But...

Sorry. I was just looking

for the ladies' room.

Go back

and turn left at the exit sign.

The bathrooms

are at the end of the hall.

Thanks.

- Do you think she heard anything?

- I'm scared.

Our club hates to see new members.

- But I'm glad to see you.

- Thanks a lot.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- So this is your first meeting?

- Yeah.

- What do you think?

- Pretty grim.

- I'm Angel Kosinsky.

- Karen McCann.

- My grandfather was Polish.

- So was mine.

Why are you here?

My son was killed.

So was my daughter.

I'm sorry.

- Is he up here?

- No.

That's him.

That's Sean.

Daddy. Daddy.

I need to show you something.

Come on, Daddy.

- Can I get a cup of coffee?

- No. I need to show you something.

Daddy, look what I did.

- I ruined Julie's pillow.

- You didn't ruin it.

We can get that stain out.

Mama's gonna be very, very angry.

It's good for you.

It's got potassium in it.

- I don't like bananas.

- You want an apple?

Oh, God! Mack.

What?

I'll kill her.

Maria washed Julie's pillow.

- Karen, I washed it.

- You washed it?

Mack, you ruined it. The smell's gone,

you can't get it back.

Stop it.

Megan dropped her

ice cream bar and stained it.

It was an accident. She didn't

want to upset you, so we washed it.

Megan, I...

- I'm sorry, Mack.

- Take it easy.

You OK? I'm going to go

upstairs with her, OK?

Hello? Mr and Mrs McCann?

This is Sergeant Denillo.

- Hello? Please call me...

- Sergeant, don't hang up, I'm here.

I just wanted to tell you

we've arrested a suspect.

- Who?

- His name's Robert Doob.

- He's from Jon's Market.

- I use them.

He's a delivery man.

His blood is a positive DNA match.

- You got him?

- Yes.

I'm filing with the DA.

It's a dead-bang case.

- I'll call you on the hearing.

- Thanks.

- Mack. Mack.

- Yeah.

- They got him. Mack, they got him.

- Thank God.

A suspect in the Palisades murder

was apprehended today

at Jon's Market in Santa Monica.

- Look at him. Do you recognise him?

- No. I didn't the first time, either.

I never saw him delivering here.

Denillo says he's been in and out of jail

his whole life.

That's him. He's the one.

- He did it.

- Honey, turn it off.

- Just a minute.

- Not again.

- Just a minute, OK?

- It's not a good thing.

I just want to watch him

one more time.

- There he is.

- All right.

- Morning, Sergeant.

- Sergeant Denillo.

I'm Howard Bolinger,

from the DA's office.

- He's trying the case.

- What about Mr Randall?

- Yes...

- He's been transferred.

- I'm handling the case now.

- Transferred? Why weren't we told?

It's all right.

- It happens all the time.

- Don't worry. I've reviewed the case.

This is just a little pre-trial motion

by the defence.

The sergeant's done an excellent job,

our evidence is conclusive.

All rise.

The Honourable

Judge Arthur Younger presiding.

- Morning.

- Morning, Your Honour.

Please sit.

I'd like to request that my client's

handcuffs be removed.

- That would be fine.

- Thank you, Your Honour.

All right, Counsel,

proceed with your motion.

The prosecution collected sperm

samples from the victim for DNA tests.

There is no problem

with this procedure,

if the defence is allowed

to perform their own tests.

The prosecution agreed

to supply the defence

with at least 25% of the evidence

for counter-examination.

We never received it.

We never promised

a percentage of the evidence.

Ms Juke was asked to participate in

an examination at the time, but declined.

I have a letter from the DA's office,

promising the defence 25%...

Quit looking at him so much.

- I'd like to present it to the court.

- Objection. I know of no such letter.

It was prepared by Mr Randall.

May I see the document,

Your Honour?

What?

Wait a second.

Mr Bolinger,

where's the rest of that sample?

By the time we got a clean sample,

the 25% had already been utilised.
