Emma! Emma!
Emma, where are you, honey? Emma?
Emma?
Oh God. Oh my God.
Are you okay?
Oh God.
Okay. Okay.
Oh, thank God.
I saw a scary man.
Neither fate nor society put
Francis Mulligan in the house
of Gloria Mitchell
on the night of the 15th.
Neither fate nor society
told him to tie her up,
shove a gun in her face
and steal her belongings.
That was his choice.
walk in his client's shoes.
Well, I have.
I'm from Riverdale.
It's a craphole.
Nobody's saying it's not, but...
that's where I'm from.
It's not who I am.
He is not the victim here.
So if you are gonna put
yourself in anyone's shoes...
put yourself...
in Gloria Mitchell's.
Thank you.
The jury will now adjourn
to deliberate a verdict.
Nice close.
Straight to your top five.
- You like that?
- Yeah, I did.
"Not who I am. " That was very cute.
- I gotta go.
- Mitch, the jury only just left.
Guilty, five years,
parole after two.
- How do you know that?
- One, the judge is soft
on the educationally-challenged
and nobody got shot.
And two?
I don't lose.
Well, that part's true.
- That's why I hate you.
- See you tonight.
Look up. Look up.
Please.
- One more.
- No. Absolutely not.
- Look at those tiny little hands.
- I know.
I can't believe her.
Looks so perfect.
She's so peaceful.
Thank you.
We're lucky.
I'm sorry I have to go
to this work thing tonight.
I wish I could stay here with you.
- Help me.
- Careful, it's slippery.
Guys.
Tomorrow, thank you.
Good night, boys.
I f***ing hate Tequila!
Everybody hates Tequila.
That's the idea.
Well, I...
I didn't know what to get
the man who has everything, so...
He's got a career,
- Oh, my little baby.
- ... a sexy wife.
- Careful.
- And then it hits me...
I'm gonna get the man

No, I mean... What, are you crazy?
'Cause if you get a D.U.I.,
then you can kiss
the D.A.'s office goodbye.
I know. I know, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have.
I won't do it again.
Mitch, I am serious.
You're a father now, okay?
You can't afford to take chances.
I know. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
See?
Look, even Ella agrees.
Ella?
Are you sure?
Mm-hmm. Don't change the topic.
I don't know what I'd do
if I lost you guys.
Mmm. Here, let me take her.
You go to bed.
Go get some rest.
There you go. Thanks.
Just an hour.
Shh shh shh.
- Hey.
- You okay?
Yeah.
Could you call around
the local hospitals and clinics?
a young man who was involved
in a hit-and-run accident
- What case is it connected to?
- Just let me know what you find.
- Yeah.
- Over there.
Thanks.
- Morning, officers.
- Good morning.
- Good. This way.
- Thanks.
I'm down here in front
of the police department
with the story of the tragic
death of this local young man.
What started out as a routine
traffic stop last night
has turned into a gruesome
murder investigation
when police officers
stopped this van
parked behind me
in the police impound
for nothing more than
a burnt-out taillight.
When they saw blood dripping
from the rear door,
they demanded
the driver open the van
and it was then they discovered
the body of Cecil Ackerman,
a 24-year-old parolee
from Naperville.
Please don't.
The driver claims he found Ackerman
dying in the road
from an apparent hit-and-run
and was merely trying
to get him to the hospital.
This is Jeff Franklin,
reporting live from the scene.
Hey, counselor.
Thanks.
Yeah?
- Detective Kanon?
- Yeah.
How many "T"s in "committed"?
- Two.
- F***ing paperwork.
You got here fast.
Yeah.
You said you were interested
in the Ackerman murder?
Yes, I am.
D.A. assigned just you?
Well, it's just
a provisional inquiry.
Walk with me.
Suspect's name is Clinton Davis.
55; Car mechanic;
couple of assault charges,
nothing he did time for;
no relatives;
Wife and daughter were murdered
in a home invasion
a few years back.
Priest was in here already,
saying what a good guy he is,
how he'd never hurt a fly,
- et cetera.
- They said on the news
that he found Cecil
Ackerman in the road.
Yeah, we've been there.
No broken car parts,
Yeah, but the snow
thawed overnight, so...
we've got Ackerman's blood and
hair all over Davis's clothes.
We've got the bloody tools and the
plastic sheets in the back of his van.
We've got enough to charge him.
You guys need to decide
if it's enough to convict.
- He looks terrified.
