In the city of Los Angeles,
the people are represented
by two separate yet equally important groups...
The police, who investigate crime,
and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders.
These are their stories.
- So what's your problem, Billy?
- My problem? - Mm.
- I invite you to my rehearsal dinner, George.
You can't find a date, so you hit on my bride?
- I wasn't doing anything.
- I saw you grinding her on the dance floor!
- Billy, cool it. - The hell with this asshole.
Get out of my way.
- What is going on in there?
- My cousin's acting like an idiot.
Word to the wise, Abby--
jealousy, like a cancer, grows.
- 15 minutes before the wedding. Where the hell is she?
- Don't get yourself all wound up, William.
I'm sure it's nothing.
- After what your daughter said to him last night,
I wouldn't be so sure.
Isn't that George's room?
George! George, are you in here?
Georgie!
George!
George, she better not be in there with you.
Abby, you better come out now. - Abby, this is your father.
I swear, if you don't come out this minute.
- Based on body temp and degree of rigor,
our bathing beauty expired between midnig
and 4:00 A.M. this morning.
- Scented candles, champagne,
looks like he was in the mood for love.
- Should have skipped the champagne.
Killer probably used the glass to cut this throat.
Right to left. By a southpaw if I had to guess.
- Mr. Patrick's wallet is missing, along with his watch.
- Why am I not surprised? - Okay, guys,
let's get him wrapped up.
Whoa.
His watch isn't the only thing that's missing.
- That's one for the books.
Usually at weddings, it's the groom
who surrenders the family jewels.

So tell us about your beef with cousin George.
- Last night, he was dancing with Abby.
I thought he was hitting on her.
Come to find out he told her
that I was engaged once before
and then I backed out.
She got all upset because I never told her.
- So you decided to thug it out with George in the men's room?
- That was just woofing.
Georgie's my blood.
- Last night, where were you?
- In my room.
Go ahead, check.
I ordered room service, drinks and whatnot.
I called my dad on the room phone.
- What time did you go to bed?
- I couldn't sleep.
My brother and my best man came up and sat with me.
- Oh!
- I got to take care of this. - Yeah.
Good luck.
The brother and the best man confirm,
they were in and out of Billy's room from 11:00 till 5:00 A.M.
- Cousin George may have ordered a pay date last night.
Calls from his cell to escort services
just after 1:00.
Fits with the rip-off m.O.
My dad always warned me
not to let strangers into my hotel room.
That's why he met his hookers at the bar.
- There's one thing wrong with the escort theory.
All of these calls are less than a minute.
No time to set up a date.
And there's no call from the escort agency
to verify George was legit.
They always call back.
- I'll take your word for it.
So maybe the killer made the calls after the fact
to cover his tracks. - His. Or hers.
- When my brother was dying of cancer,
I swore to him I would look after George.
- George needed looking after?
- He was weak. He envied what other people had.
He couldn't even be happy for my son getting married.
- What did he do for a living?
- Floor manager at a casino in downey.
- So what were his problem areas?
Money? Drugs?
- Money. Child support.
Three kids.
You imagine, on what he made?
- Are there any girlfriends or friends we can talk to?
- There was this girl he was gonna bring to the wedding.
A Liz something.
- Liz Bennett? - Yeah.
George was real excited about her.
She didn't show.
- There was a call to an Elizabeth Bennett
on his cell around midnight.
- God, I feel terrible.
He called to beg me to go with him,
but I didn't want to send the wrong message.
- George wasn't killed
because of what you did or didn't do, Ms. Bennett.
- Still. We'd gone on a couple of dates.
We had a nice time, but he was just too intense.
- You mean like after two dates
he invites you to a family wedding?
- Yes. Exactly.
- Did you notice any other warning signs?
You know, things that didn't seem right?
- I wasn't crazy about his job.
All those sketchy people.
He said he was having problems with these pawnbrokers
in the casino. - Pawnbrokers?
- Yes.
Chinese pawnbrokers.
He said that they would make loans right there
on the betting tables.
I mean, a nosebleed is as exciting
as it gets for me.
George lived in a very different world.
- They buy earrings, bracelets,
jewelry right from the customers.
We tried throwing them out,
but the customers complained.
So as long as the customers are happy...
- And they keep gambling.
- Well, nobody's here for their health.
- Mrs. yu?
These detectives want to ask you about George Patrick.
- It's very sad. He was a good guy.
- His girlfriend said he had a problem with you.
- George was borrowing from me.
$10,000, $20,000.
He said I have to keep lending
or else he's gonna throw me out of here.
- How much did he owe you? - $100,000.
But he kept saying he's gonna pay it
all back at one time.
I tell him I'm tired of waiting.
I tell him I report him to his bosses.
He promise he'd pay back soon.
- This guy makes me feel better about my finances.
He's maxed out on all his credit cards.
$25,000 behind on his mortgage payments.
- But he just got his first passport.
And he put a down payment on a little house
and a boat in Costa Rica.
- He's pulling a Jimmy buffett.
- And maybe paying for it with a casino heist.
If he had an accomplice or two,
they might have decided that a two-way split
was better than three.
- George's schedule at the casino--
they said the day shift Tuesday through Saturday, right?
This is a check written on a Wednesday three weeks ago.
$1,500 to a medical supply company.
It's his signature,
but the rest is somebody else's writing.
- Maybe he sent one of his accomplices to run errands.
- This is detective jaruszalski again.
Please call me back as soon as possible.
We hit the only medical supply store
with banker's hours. - It's Friday afternoon.
Maybe the owner's Jewish and he went home already.
I talked to the boat builder in Costa Rica.
He said George told him he'd be down there
in two weeks with the rest of the money for the boat.
They're emailing me a picture of it.
- Two weeks. So the heist would be sometime
between now and then.
- Yeah, if his accomplices stay on schedule.
Maybe this is the boat.
- Oh, teacher's pet.
So Liz Bennett was gonna be part of George's world after all.
Bedroom closet's empty.
She cleared out.
- She's got a laminating machine.
Always handy for making fake ids.
- Internet routers.
Somebody took 'em apart. This girl's got strange habits.
- And deadly ones too.
Factory-issued grip for a beretta.
Maybe she switched it out for a custom grip.
I think we found our accomplice.
- Back in five.
- I don't understand.
It was working just a mine ago.
- Can you just write out the receipt?
We got nine more deliveries tonight.
- We're about 15 minutes off schedule.
Beth better burn rubber.
- Better put on the reds.
An armored truck just disappeared from George's casino
with $1 1/2 million in the back.
Look who was driving.
- I guess nosebleeds weren't exciting enough.
The printer went offline.
The guards had to wait for a receipt.
- The printers are connected a router?
- Yeah. - She hacked it.
She bought herself 15 minutes.
- We checked her out. She had no criminal record.
She's been working for us for three months.
- How'd she get to work today?
- She drove. Her car's still in our parking lot.
- You got a way of tracking your truck?
- Yes. We just activated the system.
- She hacked the casino's routers.
George probably gave her the codes.
- Fatal mistake. He outlived his usefulness,
she Drew him a hot bat and sliced him up.
- We just got a gps hit on the truck
two miles from here.
- Damn, she's fast.
- Maybe she had a car parked on the street.
- There's security cameras down the block.
Maybe we can catch a license plate.
- Our favorite sucker George rented the garage a month ago.
Anything?
- No one matching our girl.
- Rewind to the woman in the wheelchair.
For an old gal, she's rolling along at a pretty good clip.
- How much do you think an electric wheelchair costs
at a medical supply store?
- I'm gonna guess 1,500 bucks. - Me too.
She's probably got the money from the truck
stacked under the seat hidden by the blanket.
Isn't that one of the units that responded
to the garage location?
- Nice.
Hide in plain sight.
Maybe the mta can find where she got off.
- The suspect was tracked to a park & ride in that car.
A car registered to you.
- It shouldn't be. I sold it three months ago.
- Who'd you sell it to?
- I need to make a call.
- Something pressing, Mr. rathman?
- My sister. I sold her the car.
I need to make sure she's okay.
- Is this your sister? - Yes.
What's she doing in that get-up?
- She worked part-time as an armored truck driver.
- Is she okay?
- When was the last time you talked to her?
- When I sold her the car.
Please, if she's hurt,
I need to contact our mother.
- She looks fine to us.
In this picture, she's about to drive off in your car
with over $1 million of stolen money.
- That's crazy. She's a teacher.
- And a thief. If you have any information
on her, we need it now.
- You should know better
than to try to intimidate a lawyer.
I have nothing more to say.
- Maybe he has something to say to someone else.
- 12 minutes after we left, brother Dan called
his sister's cell.
I know. Props to you.
He was on the phone just long enough
to leave a message.
Now five minutes later,
he got a call from a no-name cell.
- That could be anyone.
- Yeah, except that same no-name cell
also called Liz's school two hours earlier.
It also called Kennedy & associates,
a law firm up in San Francisco.
- Charles Kennedy. Big-time criminal lawyer.
Maybe Liz is setting up representation.
- There was a third call from that no-name cell
to a Joseph silman up in the town of folsom.
- Johnny cash country.
Now that's very interesting.
- Joe silman's captain of the guard
in charge of "a" block.
Now are you sure this woman contacted him?
- Sure enough to fly all the way up here.
It's possible she plans to use
the money she stole to bust someone out.
- We sent you her name.
Has she had any contact with an inmate here?
- There's no record of it.
And there's no one by that name
listed as a relative of any of our inmates.
- What about Joe silman? Can you vouch for him?
- Joe's been captain for ten years.
His record's clean.
He's got three kids,
and his wife's got m.S.
- So a little extra income on the side wouldn't hurt.
- She just called him again 20 minutes ago.
The cell pinged off a tower near stockton.
She's headed this way.
- What time does Joe silman get off work?
My marriage was cursed from the get-go.
At the wedding in the church's parking lot,
somebody found a rattlesnake under a car.
Now it's mostly cops,
so everybody pulls out a gun to shoot the snake.
I don't believe in omens,
but that-- that was an omen.
Police. Hands on your head.
- Police. Put your hands on your head.
What do we have here?
Contribution to your pension plan?
- Officer, I spend my day with people who are too dumb
to lawyer up. Not me.
I'm invoking right now.
- Enjoy the ride back to l.A.
I tell you, if I had her as a third-grade teacher,
my life would have been very different.
- Here we go.
- Oh. Bummer.
Too much to hope she'd have the money on her, huh?
- Well, let's hope she didn't spend it on muni bonds.
Jackpot.
Motel room key.
Silman's cell phone number
and a CDC inmate number.
- The inmate she was gonna bust out.
- No.
This can't be right.
- It's not an inmate number? - No, it is.
Matter of fact, one of our better-known inmates.
And he is in silman's cell block.
Take a look.
- Walter Calvin. Swindler.
- Yup. Now on the ninth year of a 50-year sentence.
- That's what you get for swindling $30 billion.
He has kids, doesn't he? - Yeah.
His oldest son committed suicide four years ago.
He's got another son Dan
and a daughter Elizabeth.
- She was gonna bust dad out of jail.
- Chip off the old block.
My daughter help me escape?
I'm 62 years old.
I'm too old to climb over walls
or hide in laundry baskets.
- Your daughter jacked an armored car
for $1 1/2 million.
That gets you a luxury ride out of here.
- You have a logic problem.
For the last nine years, the state has maintained
my client has billions stashed away.
Now if that's true,
why would he need his daughter to steal $1 million
to facilitate his escape?
- Maybe his billions are overseas and out of reach.
Your daughter's facing a murder charge
for killing her accomplice.
The death penalty's hanging over her head.
You could ease the burden by taking
some of the weight of this caper.
After all, what's an extra 25 years to you?
- I worked very hard
to get Mr. Calvin into a medium-security prison.
As much as he cares about his daughter,
I'm not about to let him talk his way into maximum security.
- Not even for your daughter, Mr. Calvin?
- I can't believe Elizabeth would kill anyone!
Anyway, whatever she did had nothing to do with me.
My bid's 50 years.
I made my peace with it.
I'm not going anywhere.
- Then we're done.
- Nasty cuts.
What happened?
- I slipped in the shower.
- You could have saved yourselves the drive.
My client doesn't have anything to say at this time.
- Well, she better think of something soon.
The police found the money in her motel room,
she was arrested bribing a corrections officer,
and we matched hairs from George Patrick's hotel room to her.
- That's your murder evidence?
Hairs from a woman who kissed the victim the day before?
Exchange and transfer.
George Patrick carried that hair into his hotel room
on his clothes.
- I didn't kill George.
- So that's your murder defense.
What do you have for the rest?
- Does it have anything to do with the injuries
the police saw on your father?
- Your father was assaulted by other prisoners
seven times in the first five months
he was incarcerated.
The assumption was your father used some of his hidden money
to buy protection.
- Maybe the money's inaccessible now.
The beatings start again, and your father reached out to you.
- I'll put it plainly.
She was told that, unless she paid Joe silman,
the guards couldn't guarantee her father's safety.
- Those animals in prison were gonna kill him.
Everyone thinks he has billions hidden somewhere,
but he doesn't.
He didn't steal anything.
He didn't do anything wrong.
He doesn't have any money.
- That's her defense.
She did it under a threat
to her father's life.
- Acting under duress to save a life
could be grounds for an acquittal.
- For the truck heist. Not the murder.
- Which we're a long way from proving.
Her lawyer's right.
The hairs aren't evidence of anything.
- Well, that's a police problem.
Our challenge is the fact
that she tells a compelling story
about her father.
- That he's innocent?
She's deluded.
He was convicted of over 200 counts of fraud.
Thousands of people's lives were ruined
because of this guy.
- Deluded or not, she makes a powerful witness
for herself.
A desperate daughter rescuing a father
victimized by the system.
If there are holes in her story, we need to find them.
- My father ruined the lives
of everyone he came in contact with.
Now he's done it to Liz.
- She thinks he's innocent.
- She always was daddy's girl.
When he drove his Porsche, he'd hold her in his lap
and let her steer.
He'd take the car up to 100 miles per hour.
Liz would laugh.
She'd get so giddy.
She was 11.
- Daddy could do no wrong.
- My father's toxic.
My older brother Alex, his whole life
was being Walter Calvin's son.
After my father was arrested,
everyone assumed Alex was in on it.
He couldn't handle it.
He killed himself.
- If Liz is so devoted to your father,
why hasn't she visited him in prison?
- My mother wouldn't allow it.
Even she stopped visiting after my brother died.
Liz got used to communicating with him
through his lawyer.
- Now she claims she was trying to save his life.
- Three months ago, Liz showed me a video
dad's lawyer shot in prison.
My father had bruises and cuts on his face.
He said he'd been attacked.
His life was in danger unless he could pay protection.
Liz was freaking out.
She wanted my help.
But I just didn't care.
- These injuries, you said three months ago?
- He looked like hell.
- Three months ago,
the day before a visit from his lawyer,
Calvin was treated for facial injuries
"sustained in a fall down the stairs."
Then two weeks ago,
again the day before his lawyer visited him,
he was treated for facial injuries
"from a slip and fall in the shower."
- You know, we found reports of four accidents
in the last three months.
All with facial injuries.
Always the day before his lawyer's visits.
And all of them written up by you.
- These weren't accidents.
They were deliberate beatings to the face
for maximum effect in the videos
Calvin's lawyer was making for his daughter.
- It was all part of the shakedown, wasn't it?
For protection money?
Come now, Mr. silman,
you're a corrupt C.O. looking at a long bid
in the state penitentiary.
You won't have any friends there.
So you cannot afford to make enemies of us.
- I wasn't shaking down Calvin.
He was shaking down his daughter.
- You'll have to explain that.
- Said all his money was tied up overseas.
He needed to motivate his daughter for fresh cash.
- For protection?
- Calvin needed protection
when he first went inside.
Then things settled down.
No, this money wasn't for protection.
- Then for what?
- I need to draw you a picture?
Even in prison, the man liked the good life.
- You can't believe a word
that son of a bitch says.
- Miss mackie, we are only interested in you as a witness,
not as a defendant.
- That could change.
- Look, it's not as though I did anything wrong.
Every two weeks, there would be a limo waiting outside
with a bag of groceries in the back.
You know, caviar, pate, a $200 bottle of wine.
Rich boy snacks.
- Drugs?
Cocaine?
- Whatever you say.
Anyway, Wally, Mr. Calvin, arranged it with silman
so I could share conjugal visits with him.
We'd spend the evening in the prison trailer
the first hour drinking wine
and waiting for the Viagra to kick in.
- How were you paid?
- It was nice.
Five grand in an envelope in the back of the limo
when I was ready to go home.
- When was the last time
that you... Visited Mr. Calvin?
- It's been a couple months.
Wally said he was tapped out but there was more cash coming in.
The little princess was on it.
The least she could do for daddy.
- Ten grand a month for a hooker,
five grand for amenities,
and another three grand silman admits receiving
for organizing Calvin's recreational activities.
That's over $200,000 a year.
- I doubt if Liz knew
that she was stealing to finance
her daddy's sex and drug parties.
- So after swindling everybody he knows,
he swindles his own daughter?
Walter Calvin's a hard man to love.
- And that's why I want to see his life change for the worse.
Liz was a school teacher.
Calvin had to be the brains
behind the casino heist.
- He put her behind the wheel
while he worked the pedals. - Exactly.
Whatever she did, including murder,
he owns half of it.
- People v. Calvin, one count conspiracy
to commit murder, one count grand theft.
How do you plead? - Not guilty, your honor.
- Since we all know where Mr. Calvin
is currently residing, I think we can skip the bail discussion.
Next case.
- You know, piling on another 25 years
isn't gonna make any difference to my client.
- It makes a difference where he spends it.
Some of the money that Calvin swindled
belonged to Armenian drug lords.
Now, unlike the medium security prison he's in now,
pelican bay supermax holds prisoners who work
for those drug lords,
prisoners already serving life
who wouldn't give a damn about visiting a death sentence
on your client.
- Trying to get my client killed?
- No, I'm trying to get everyone, including your client
and his daughter, the justice that's coming to them.
- It's not true.
My father's life was in danger.
- He was gonna spend that money on prostitutes.
On drugs. Read the statement.
- I read a lot of statements at his first trial.
From witnesses who lied and investors who kept the money
they say he stole.
- Forget about that.
Think about your own life.
You're a young woman.
Now we're prepared to offer you a plea bargain
in exchange for your testimony about your father's role
in this case.
- What number did you have in mind?
- She pleads to the theft and murder,
she could be out in 20 years.
- Only because she acted under duress
in the belief that her father's life was in danger.
- No.
I'm not selling out my father.
- I know Liz can't bring herself to believe
that her father did anything wrong,
but we need to have a conversation.
- What's up?
- It concerns my retainer.
Calvin's lawyer said he'd take care of it.
I got it a few days ago.
It had been wired through a series of banks,
but something in the wiring instructions
caught my attention.
I didn't want any tax trouble,
so I traced back the originating bank.
Long story short,
the money's from an offshore account,
the commercial bank of Madagascar.
It could belong to Calvin.
A lot of people had their life savings
wiped out by that creep.
If we could aid in the recovery of some of those missing assets,
would it earn my client a little more consideration?
- We'll look into it.
- So now we're collection agents?
- We still don't have enough evidence
to convict anyone for the murder.
Maybe we can use $30 billion to turn Calvin.
- Long as he doesn't use it to turn us.
That's crazy.
You can bully me all you want,
threaten to put me where I'll get killed,
but I am broke.
Everything I made was paid out to investors.
- So you've been saying for the last nine years.
Then we found this account at the commercial bank
of Madagascar that was used to pay your daughter's retainer.
- We assume it's just the tip of the iceberg.
- You'll never be able to get to that money,
not without his help.
But Walter needs a clear commitment
he'll get consideration.
- Well, let us hear what he has to say first.
- It's not just one phone call.
It'll take time to unravel where the money ended up.
These were complex deals.
You know the major banks were in on it.
They knew what was going on.
But everyone was greedy.
- Mr. Calvin... - What's your offer?
- A suspended sentence for his role in the truck heist.
- Big nothing.
You threatened to send him to a supermax prison.
I want a guarantee that he'll be transferred
to a minimum security prison.
- A country club?
- Not unless he tells us what he knows
about the murder of George Patrick.
- No.
I'm not gonna lie to help you convict my own daughter.
You may think I'm a bastard,
but I'm not.
At the end of the day,
I'm a good person.
- Minimum security
in return for helping you recover assets.
That's it. That's our offer.
Your move.
- No, it's not right, Jerry.
Well, fine, George Patrick was no angel,
but his family deserves better.
Well, what about Calvin's victims?
Most of them got burned
trying to squeeze an extra point or two on their return.
Yeah, well, I'm sorry, Jerry,
but my sympathy has its limits.
Fine.
- Let me guess. Money trumps principle?
- Hardin's got the feds salivating at the thought
of recovering that money.
- Well, my old boss Jack McCoy would have gone for principle
and told the feds to screw themselves.
- Yeah, and so would Jerry hardin 15 years ago.
He might again one day.
- Well, what do you make of this?
This is a bank account number
in bermuda that Calvin's wife used to buy a condo
12 years ago.
And this is the same account number
at the commercial bank of Madagascar.
Coincidence?
- He killed our son.
Now he's got our daughter in jail,
the so-called apple of his eye.
I hope Walter's proud of himself.
- Mrs. Calvin... - It's rathman, my maiden name.
When I divorced Walter, I made my sons take that name.
And Elizabeth, she was 16 when Walter was arrested.
I gave her my mother's maiden name, Bennett.
I tried to protect them.
- I understand, Mrs. rathman.
I do need to talk to you about these bank accounts.
- Everyone still assumes
I knew Walter was up to,
but I didn't.
- This is a bank account number you used to buy a condo
in bermuda 12 years ago.
And this is an account number
at a bank in Madagascar that your husband claims
holds some of the stolen assets.
The numbers were the same. We were thinking maybe...
- Commercial bank of Madagascar?
Oh, here we go again.
Has the commercial bank of Madagascar
been giving you the runaround?
- Some. And they seem very disorganized.
What's the joke, Mrs. rathman?
- 30 years ago, Walter raised capital
for his investment fund by borrowing
against his fantastic coin collection.
Of course no one ever saw the coin collection
because it was on loan to the commercial bank of Madagascar
where it was being appraised by a potential investor.
When investors here called to confirm the coins' value,
Walter had a friend there back him up.
- There was no collection and no coins.
- Not one copper penny.
- And now he's playing all of us for suckers.
- The commercial bank of Madagascar,
they'll have you chasing your tail for years.
We used to have a garden like this,
but much bigger, overlooking San Francisco bay.
I watched my kids grow up there.
What a life we had.
All built on lies.
Oh, a customer.
- You deliberately routed your retainer payment
through your friends at the commercial bank of Madagascar.
It was a ploy to trick us into thinking
you had money hidden there. - Oh, hold on a seco.
- No, you participated in that deception.
You are so close to being reported to the state bar.
But you should start packing your bags,
because, as soon as is trial is over,
you're headed to maximum security.
- What if I give you something else?
- Like what? Your stash of Zimbabwe treasury bonds?
- Murder case. George Patrick.
My daughter.
- Spell it out.
- She said he was making problems for her.
Spending the money from the heist
that they didn't have.
On a house in Costa Rica, a boat.
He was pressing her to marry him,
blackmailing her even.
I tried to calm her down,
but Liz can be fierce
when you back her into a corner.
- She told you she killed him?
- She told me she cut him
with a broken champagne glass.
- I believe that detail wasn't in the papers.
Now about that transfer,
it'll be to a minimum security institution.
- Not unless he corroborates his story.
- There's a recording of a conversation
between my client and his daughter
where she says she wants to make Patrick go away.
Now you don't get that recording unless you agree to our terms.
Minimum security.
- If the recording is everything you say,
we're agreed.
- He bought a boat.
He's calling it teacher's pet.
He has this fantasy we're gonna have some life together
once this is over.
- Honey, just keep him on track a little while longer.
Once it's done, it won't matter what he knows.
- Daddy, I'm so afraid he's gonna mess this up.
- You just keep George in line.
- I can't stand him.
I just want to make him go away.
- It would have been better if she used words
like "kill" or "disappear."
- Let's hear how Calvin reacted.
- Don't talk like that. - He's disgusting.
Ever since he found out I'm your daughter,
he calls me the little princess.
It makes him feel like a big man.
- Just a couple more weeks, honey.
I have to go.
- George called her the little princess.
- So did the hooker jenn mackie.
- Little princess? Wally called her that.
I can't believe you brought me all the way down here
from Sacramento for this.
It's too much.
I've been very cooperative.
Just ask your friends in the d.A.'S office.
- We're not d.A.S and we're not so friendly.
- Especially toward murder suspects.
- Sweetie, no one ever died from what I do to them.
- Except the John you de-balled with a knife ten years ago.
- That was self-defense.
Jury said so.
- Well, our jury might say something different
about you and George Patrick.
- Who's he?
- He's the one who called
Walter's daughter little princess.
- Your cell phone puts you a mile from his hotel
the night he was murdered
right down the street from here.
- So what?
I was in town visiting my sister
in culver city.
I was playing with the new baby all weekend.
- Jenn, we know Walter put you up to it.
- Wally?
Wally's just a nice old man who's gonna die in prison.
I rock his world every couple of weeks.
That's that.
- She's a pro.
She knows we have nothing to put her on the scene.
- Walter Calvin masterminded this murder.
Maybe his daughter got George Patrick into a bathtub,
but Calvin sent this girl to do the killing.
- Unless someone breaks, we can't prove it.
- Then somebody has to break.
- I just want to make him go away.
- Don't talk like that. - He's disgusting.
Ever since he found out I'm your daughter,
he calls me the little princess.
It makes him feel like a big man.
- He knew his lawyer was recording the conversation.
He only kept the part that implicated you
in the murder, the part that hurt you, not him.
That's what he gave us.
- But I didn't kill George.
He wasn't supposed to get killed.
- If you have something to tell us,
now is the time.
- What about his kids?
- Wally talked about his kids all the time.
His boys. The one who killed himself,
he called him the wimp.
The other one, the judge, because Wally said
he would hang him if he could.
- What about his daughter? - Oh, he called her
his little monkey because he could get her to do.
Whatever he wanted.
When she was little, he would let her sit
on his lap when he would drive the Porsche.
She would steer. One time, he just accelerated
to see what she would do, you know.
She was ying and screaming for him to stop,
but he just kept on going.
She was so freaked out she peed her pants.
He thought that was hilarious.
But he did say to me, if he had to do it again,
he wouldn't have kids.
They were just mouths to feed. - Stop it. Turn it off.
That woman's a whore. She'll say anything.
But somewhere inside you know what she said is true.
You remember the humiliation of that da
all for your father's amusement.
- You don't understand him.
- Ms. Bennett, my case files
are filled with people like him.
Whether they steal small or large,
whether they kill with their own hands or send somebody else
to do it, they're all cut from the same cloth.
- He's not like them.
He's my father.
- He sold you out for a larger cell
and a softer mattress.
You don't owe him your life,
so help us convict him.
- Listen to them, Liz.
You've done everything you can for him.
- My father, when I was seven,
took me hiking in yosemite.
I fell, I twisted my ankle, I broke my arm,
I was bleeding, and my father carried me
for 15 miles.
He ran all the way holding me in his arms.
It rained, and he didn't stop.
And all I could hear
was his heart beating inside of his chest.
It was beating for me.
I will never turn against him.
I want to go.
- So now what? The only person we can make
a murder case against is her, and we don't think
she did the actual killing,
while all we can prove against Calvin
is grand theft.
- Some things you have to live with.
- Not to mention we made a deal to send Calvin
to a minimum security prison for the rest of his term.
- Yeah, and some things you don't.
- Pursuant to your guilty pleas
to the charges of grand theft and bribery
of a government official,
you're sentenced to eight years
to run consecutive
to your current term at a facility
to be determined by the department of corrections.
- Your honor, under a separate agreement
with the district attorney's office,
my client will serve
the remainder of his term
in a minimum security facility.
- I don't see that here.
Mr. dekker?
- Your honor, that agreement's void.
I spoke with the department of corrections,
and they'll be transporting
Mr. Calvin to the maximum security
in pelican bay this afternoon.
- What the hell's going on?
- Your honor, predicated on that agreement,
Mr. Calvin provided Mr. dekker with evidence
against his own daughter in a murder case.
- And in the interest of justice, your honor,
we've declined to prosecute Ms. Bennett for murder.
- It doesn't matter.
He did his part. He gave Mr. dekker the evidence.
- Misleading evidence given in bad faith.
The deal is off.
- But your honor-- - that's the end of it,
Mr. Kennedy. Please take away the defendant
and bring in the next case. - No.
This is-- this is unjust.
He can't renege.
We had a deal!
You can't do this to me.
I don't deserve it.
Liz, honey,
save me, tell them what you did.
Tell them you killed that idiot. - Daddy!
- Tell them. Tell them now.
Do it. What the hell are you good for?
Don't let them do this to me!
- Remember what I said about reneging on a deal?
Forget it.
- Already have.
- Mr. dekker, are the people ready to proceed
with Ms. Bennett's allocution to the charge
of grand theft?
- We are, your honor.
