But we gave her

the chance to be present...

I request that the evidence

in this case be found inadmissible,

since the prosecution failed to supply

the evidence promised us in writing.

- Your Honour...

- This is an unfair attack on my client,

and a breach of the promise

to release evidence.

The evidence conclusively

identifies that man as the killer.

All right.

Counsel, can I talk to you,

off the record?

- Is this your only physical evidence?

- The defence didn't get their sample.

Randall promised it.

This guy didn't know.

What is this?

It's all right.

All right, Counsel.

Please return to your seats.

The law requires that the defence

be allowed their own DNA testing

on all evidence

presented to this court.

Therefore, in the interest of justice,

the court reluctantly agrees

to suppress the evidence.

I can submit the tests to you.

Do the People have other evidence

that might meet their burden of proof?

No, Your Honour.

Your Honour, the defence request

that the charges be dismissed.

Motion granted, case dismissed.

- What now?

- How could you let this happen?

You'll let him just walk out of here?

- Sorry.

- Let's go.

No, Mr McCann, please.

All right, come on.

Mr McCann, get up. Come on.

- It's over.

- Come on, you.

Now move it.

- Are you saying she didn't come in?

- Yes.

- Can you speak up?

- Karen's not here, I'm worried.

- She didn't call?

- No. Do you want to leave a message?

- No, that's OK. Thank you.

- Bye.

Karen?

- Hi.

- What time is it?

Almost one.

You didn't go to work?

- I tried.

- You gotta go to work.

Gotta keep going.

Get up in the morning,

eat breakfast,

take Megan to school,

keep things moving.

- You can't quit.

- I'm just so tired. I can't sleep.

Come on. We can get through this.

We can do this. That's it, baby.

Let's get out of the house.

Go have some lunch.

You're right. Gotta get going.

Excuse me,

I'd like to see a case filing.

- You mean an arrest package?

- Arrest package...

- Do you have a case number?

- Yes.

- It's case number 95125...

- Wait.

9-5-1-2-5-1-0-4.

- State versus Robert Doob?

- Yes.

It'll be 15 dollars for a copy.

All right.

- What are you doing?

- Covering some information.

It's classified.

- What's classified?

- The address.

- It's just White-Out, not concrete.

- Thank you.

Hey, you got a cigarette?

Motherf***er. F*** you, too!

Out of the way.

Can I help you

with something, ma'am?

Perhaps I could

show you something?

Well, I... No. No thanks.

Delivery at 2.07 p. m.

Location...

- Morning.

- Morning.

Caffe-Latte, non-fat.

- You look better.

- Thanks.

- Even your desk looks better.

- What, was my desk depressed?

I'd ask what you were doing,

but I don't wanna jinx it.

- Dolly?

- Yeah.

- I followed Robert Doob yesterday.

- What?

I watched him.

I found out where he lives.

And he never even knew I was there.

Did you tell anyone about this?

- Did you tell Mack?

- No.

Don't. He'd go ballistic.

Jesus Christ, Karen.

What are you doing? This is insane.

Never mind.

I shouldn't have said anything.

Promise you won't do it again.

It was a dumb idea.

- Dumb idea.

- Very dumb idea.

Watch it, a**hole.

F***ing piece of sh*t.

- Hi.

- Hola.

Shall I help carry these in?

- You're all right. Thank you.

- Momentito.

Sure.

- Muchas gracias.

- OK.

Bye-bye.

Oh, my God.

We have to hurry.

He's delivering groceries again.

He delivered some today to a woman,

then went outside and watched her.

He even marked his territory,

like a dog.

- Have you been following him?

- Yes. You have to get him right now.

You can't do that, for your own safety.

Do you understand?

- I know where he lives and works.

- I don't know how to explain this to you.

- He's a free man.

- He'll do it again.

It isn't right. But that's the way it is.

- I want you to get him.

- I know.

But I can't arrest him

for looking the wrong way.

- He wasn't just...

- I'll be right out.

- You have to do something.

- Please. Just stay away from him.

Yes, hello.

My name is Karen McCann.

Can I come in? Here's my card.

I work for the Media Muzeum.

Do you speak English? Oh, God.

Please.

Thank you very much.

This is very nice.

Oh, God. How am I gonna say this?

I don't want to frighten you.

I do, actually.

I don't want money.

I want to warn you, you're in danger.

There is a man.

He's been here before, you let him in.

He works for the market.

Don't let him in. I've been to the police.

- What are you doing here?

- Do you speak English?

I need to warn you.

There's a man who's been here.

- I've been to the police.

- Enough.

I don't need help, you do.

Just go away.

Leave us alone, please. Thank you.

- Does a Robert Doob work here?

- Doob?

Yes, where is he?

Thank you.

Got a warrant?

Why, you done something wrong?

I don't do things I think are wrong.

Maybe you just came here

for a sperm sample.

Look, you dogshit...

If you even piss on your toilet seat,

I'll make you lick it clean.

- F*** you.

- F*** me?

Come on, motherf***er,

blow my head off.

Five people saw you walk in.

Show me you got balls:

Pull the f***ing trigger!

I didn't think so.

Keep your dick in your pants

or I'll cut it off.

If I hear about you looking

in any more windows, you're dead.

Get out of my city.

I think he just comes here

for the cookies.

- Maybe he wants friends.

- Oh, yeah, we're such a fun group.

- Never says anything.

- Maybe that's his way of coping.

- Yeah.

- Some of us eat, some of us talk.

Some of us talk

about the people who eat.

Hey.

- How are you?

- Good. And you?

- Did you hear about the Gratzes?

- Divine intervention.

- It should happen to all of us.

- What should?

- Their boy's killer was killed.

- How?

- I think he was shot.

- When?

He'd been out for... two days.

Back in the old hood. Drive-by.

- Where's Mack?

- With Megan. Hear about the Gratzes?

Yeah. I was wondering

if you'd like to go to lunch someday.

- I'd love to.

- How about tomorrow?

...in the Palisades murder was

apprehended in Santa Monica.

Mack?

Do you believe in the death penalty?

As far as he's concerned, I do.

Why? Because it's just

or you want revenge?

It's just the way I feel.

I don't know what I think.

- What's the point of watching that?

- I'll turn it off, all right?

I'm sorry. It's just, what's the point?

Now hold that. Roll it up.

Good. Now bring your feet in.

Now the rib cage kiss. Pull it in.

You call this lunch?

I call this entrapment, Angel.

You'd have said no otherwise.

Knees and ankles together.

Remember what Mama told you.

What makes you so sure?

- You were resisting feeling better.

- Mushi-mushi, how's your tushy?

Deborah, how are you?

It's not something

I have much control over.

I know. But it will get better, Karen.

Focus on the good times

with your daughter.

When I think about her, the details...

I'm talking about Megan.

Oh.

- Stop it, I made these.

- No, I did.
