She processed my application
to the D.A.'s office.
Seeing as my ma never
officially married your dad...
yeah, you figured
why mention us, right?
Jimmy, it was best
for me not to have ties
to a criminal past, you know?
Once I'd lied on the forms,
- I couldn't tell...
- Yeah, I get it.
I understand.
- God.
- I'm not that kid anymore.
Riverdale, it's...
It was another life.
Well, lucky you.
I only got the one.
Hey.
Hello?
Hey, Mr. Brockden. It's Kanon.
Detective Kanon.
What can I do for you?
Just checking in.
We lost a point or two
on that forensic linguist.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know. It's, umm...
it's almost impossible to make
Davis the caller, so...
Right.
It's kinda late, detective.
No, just wanted to know
that you're ready for tomorrow.
- What was that?
- What?
You're recording this?
Why would I be recording this?
They say that cops are paranoid.
See you in court.
She's asleep. Hey.
Hey.
You smell like milk.
Ella was sick on me, again.
Nice.
Mitch. Hey.
Look at me.
Mitch.
What is it?
Is there something
you're not telling me?
Yes.
What?
Can't you just...
Tell me?
I love you.
I love you too.
All rise.
Be seated.
Before session begins, your honor,
I would like to approach the bench.
I will not tolerate
tardiness, Mr. Roberts.
I'm sorry, your honor,
but there has been
an important development.
Defense would like to
call a new witness.
Objection, your honor.
The prosecution wasn't informed of this.
Defense was unaware of their
identity until late last night.
What is the relevance
of this witness, Mr. Roberts?
He's the man who made the 911 call.
- What? What?
- Order!
Order.
- Your honor...
- I'm inclined to allow it, Mr. Brockden.
Yes, I understand that,
but if you could just...
- Mr. Brockden!
- Dr. Brown's lab
ran a voice analysis overnight
and we got a viable match.
How soon can defense
present this witness?
Right away, your honor.
He's been in the courtroom
- this entire trial.
- Your honor, please!
Can I just please say some...
Enough!
Call your witness.
The defense calls...
- What?
In a surprise twist of events,
and ended the prosecution's case
against Clinton Davis.
The witness saw the victim,
Cecil Ackerman,
mowed down by a hit-and-run driver
in a red S.U.V.
And left on the road to die.
He then called 911.
was not the only
good samaritan in this trial.
Mr. Davis?
I just wanted
to wish you all the best.
Yeah, it's like you said...
if I was innocent,
everything would work out.
Yes, I did.
So what happens now?
- You go back to your life.
- No no no,
I mean with
the hit-and-run driver,
the one the witness saw.
Maybe he'll turn himself in.
Would you?
I f***ing love you,
you f***ing b*tch!
- Whore!
- Stop it!
- I'll f***ing kill you!
- Stop it!
- No! Leave me alone!
- Don't do this to me, you f***ing b*tch!
I f***ing love you!
- Hey!
- F***ing let me go!
I f***ing love you!
The mutilated body
of Pedro Gonzales
was found early this morning on
the bank of the Chicago river.
According to a source
at the coroner's office,
the back of his skull
was badly crushed,
possibly by a hammer.
His family says the last time
anybody saw him alive
was at the north mall on Saturday.
I ran some keywords
through the database.
It flagged a string
of unsolved homicides.
I can't stay here. Sh*t!
Oh f***. No. No.
I looked at the autopsy results.
The wounds on Ackerman were similar
Ackerman was
a hit-and-run, remember?
The wounds were inconclusive.
You yourself pointed
that out at the trial.
Inconclusive, exactly.
What if it was both?
What if Ackerman ran
into the path of a car
because he was trying
to get away from Davis
who was in the process
of torturing him?
It explains why the
forensics was so confusing.
Anything else?
Thanks for coming by.
Hey.
Oh f***.
Sh*t. F***.
Yes sir...
Oh sh*t.
- Yeah, hello.
- You get my photograph?
- What do you want?
- Stop following me.
I know what you did.
And yet the cops
haven't come a'calling.
Why you think that is, Mitch?
If you knew I was the driver,
why didn't you
just turn me in, huh?
I didn't want to play my ace
in the police station.
I needed to go to court.
I had to get a jury of my peers
to see your card, find me innocent.
Bingo. A free pass.
- But you didn't expose me.
- There was no need.
I could see you were having
a crisis of conscience.
- Is this a f***ing game to you?
- Far from it.
I won't let you get away with this.
Yeah, you will,
or I will ruin you.
Besides, who's gonna
protect Rachel and Ella
when you get locked up
for hit-and-run, hmm?
What did you say?
Family is
a precious thing, Mitch.
It's our job as men
to protect 'em.
Davis.
Hey. Shut the door.
Is that Ackerman?
And the guy from the news.
Have to work out
How he's picking
his victims and why.
How who's picking them?
Clinton Davis.
What?
These are the unsolved homicides
that Kanon thinks
match Davis's M.O.
Davis's M.O.?
Dav... Davis was innocent.
Hit-and-run, Mitch.
Yeah, I wish it were that simple.
What the hell is going on?
What the hell
is going on, Mitch?
First you blow the Davis case,
almost get yourself disbarred
and now what?
You're trying to prove
that this guy is the
goddamn Boston strangler?
Stu, if I could
explain this, I would.
With what pathologists
think were tools.
The first took place eight months
after Davis's family was
tortured with similar tools.
You see, I think he picked 'em.
I think he picked all of them,
but what the f***
do they all have in common?
Well, Ackerman was
a child molester.
None of the others were.
Well, they do all have
criminal records.
So you think this behavior started
- with the death of his family, right?
- Yes, I do.
So remind me...
what happened there?
and systematically tortured
and butchered
his wife and child...
The guy made Davis watch
Then he slit his throat
and left him for dead.
It was a miracle he survived.
The guy's name was Emanuel Fryer...
career criminal;
gunned down the following night
during another home invasion;
recently paroled; Blah blah blah.
- Broken home...
- Oh sh*t.
What?
Gonzales, recently paroled.
Fryer, recently paroled.
Ackerman was recently...
all these men are
recently f***ing paroled.
Stu, you are a goddamn genius!
Sh*t. I love you. I love you.
Okay, so you're saying
that the only reason
Ackerman was in the street
was because Davis was chasing him.
- Uh-huh.
- And then after you left,
- Exactly.
If I could just
get proof, you know?
Davis can't be retried
