That's Sally Reed, his girlfriend.

JAMES BUCKNER: We'll make this brief.

With this new
information coming to light,


we're reopening the
Janice Moss m*rder case.


We now have reason to believe
Gene Cousineau was involved.


We were just talking about a movie.

BUCKNER: ... like to hear a few
words from Janice's father.


It pains me to say this...

because I was tricked by the man.

♪ ♪

But I believe, deep in
my heart, that Gene Cousineau


manipulated Barry
Berkman to k*ll my daughter.


For the past eight years,
he wasn't in hiding.


He was on the run.

And his ego brought him back to LA.

It got him caught. What I want...

what I've always wanted...

was justice for Janice.

It means...

people who are hiding from the police.

Your dad...

Well, he escaped prison

and I ran away with him.

JOHN: Why was he in prison?

SALLY: Because he
k*lled a lot of people.

- JOHN: Because he was a soldier.
- SALLY: No.

Because he was a m*rder*r.

And I'm a m*rder*r, too.

I k*lled a man.

And...

I deserve whatever happens to me.

You... (SIGHS)
