No.
Yes, but don't worry about it.

- David, we can't afford this.

- Think how many tabs nathan's picked up.

- Well, with what he makes, he should.

- Cynthia I'm showing I belong.

- I care about us, not belonging with them.

- Hey, think what we have now Versus before.
Life's good, right?

- What matters is how it's malted.

- I thought scotch and whiskey were the same thing.

- Only when you're hugging the toilet at 4:00 a.
M.
[both laugh]

- you're awful.

- Made you laugh.

- I see we're hitting it off.

- We are, thanks to you.

- I'll hit the sandbox.

- When he comes back, gia takes him.
You're gone.

- What?

- Someone from a tabloid called me.
You sell information on clients.
It's over.
Now go.

- And you believe that lying bitch over me?

- Because you want to ruin things for me.

- Yeah, ruin your career as a hooker.
It's not exactly a point of pride with me.

- I'm not a hooker.

- Yeah.
[scoffs]
Tell yourself you're a model Next time you're under a sweaty body.
[bottle shatters]

- get out!
- No problem.

- You ruin everything, kevin!
- Slut.
I'm still going through with it.
[car engine turning]

- David?

- He's calling from the truck.
That's getting warm.

- Tell me when you hit something.

- Shut it down.
Shut it down! Shut it down!
- Shut it down! Sub by Adriano_CSI
- Oh, joy.

- Come on, the chance to sift trash After doughnuts and coffee?

- Garbage crew found the remains.
No hands, no feet, no head, but it's a male.

- So it's a cul
-de
-sac.
Car backs up, drops the body in the sewer, And most of the street sees nothing.

- Any pieces of him in the trash truck?

- Nothing.
Enjoy.

- Thank you.
[indistinct police radio chatter]

- Ah, don't worry.
After ten minutes, it'll still smell like hell.

- Assuming I last ten minutes.

- Well, the trash acts like a mulch pile, Accelerating decomposition.
I'll need the autopsy to determine t.
O.
D.

- Lucky the debris clogged this compartment, Or he could have made it to the river.

- Yeah, wouldn't that have been a shame?

- He's a real mess.
Are these wounds premortem?

- Yeah.
Maybe beaten with a tire iron or fire poker.
But whatever blow k*lled him Was probably done to his head.

- Which along with the hands and feet Were chopped off.

- No, I'm guessing, by marks on the bone, They were sawed off.

- Oh.
Hey, look at this on the shoulder, This scar from surgery.
That could give us something.

- You were right.
We caught a break from his shoulder surgery.
Serial numbers on an intramedullary rod.
Traced it to a doctor in scranton, pennsylvania.

- Mm.
Mm.
Kevin denaburg, age 26.

- A reciprocating saw was used To sever his hands, feet, and head.
Blade pattern is standard for half a dozen brands.

- All of which are available from hardware stores In the tri
-state area.

- Anything new on these wounds?

- This elongated bruise and the gouging Closest match we could make was from a car door.

- Slammed to death with a car door?
[scoffs]
that's a first for me.

- Yeno problemitreh ght.
L he .

- Yen
- we'll need to seel he the lease application.

- Yeah, I got that.

- So, uh, you know where he worked, huh?

- Yeah, where most people work these days
-
-nowhere.

- How'd he make the rent?

- He had help
-
-girlfriend.

- What's she do?

- A model.
Always looked great.

- Her name?

- Called her Amber.

- Amber.
Amber?
You didn't check her mail?
What's her last name?

- I don't snoop.

- Well, there's only men's clothing here, But a bunch of empty hangers.
Maybe amber's on the run.

- Cupboards are pulled open in the kitchen.
Wonder what she'd have been looking for in there.

- That's interesting.
Hey, what's this?
What are these, swag bags?
That's what they call these.
Look, two of them
-
- more her thing.
There's pricey stuff here
-
- gucci and chanel.
How do you say that
-
- l'occitane?

- From high
-end events?
I don't see kevin denaburg being on those donor lists.

- You're gonna like this.
A seating card for amber donelli.

- Same name on these receipts From an upper east side dry cleaner.
Judging by what they charge, she's fussy about her clothes.

- So we know who she is and what she is.

- Well, serena thinks that in amber's case, "model" means maybe
-
- maybe something else.

- Yeah, we didn't find any professional photos of her Or head sh*ts.

- If she fled to avoid us, maybe she took them with her.

- I don't think that we caused the fleeing.
She left too many bread crumbs.

- Dry cleaner said she picked up all her clothes four days ago.

- Okay, we know amber paid the rent.
What about credit cards?

- Cash only, since filing for bankruptcy Two years ago.

- Kevin's lease application has a bank reference.
That should get you started.

- Well, kevin might have been out of work, But he had some earning power.
He cashed a $10,000 check four months ago.

- Really?
From whom?

- From eli gold enterprises.

- The eli gold?

- Should I know who that is?

- You don't spend much time online.

- Only work
-related.

- Mm
-hmm.
No kids to help with their homework.

- Fortunately For their sake.

- Well, it happens to be That eli gold has the biggest gossip site on the web
-
- Thefamehound.
Com.

- Right, so it's, uh What is it, recreational?

- It's a silly guilty pleasure I share with my daughter When, uh, she's finished her homework, of course.

- Yes, right.
Of course.

- But if, uh Mr.
Gold is kicking out $10,000
- Right.

- Yeah, it was photos.
Second
-tier actors doing blow at a party.
And, you know, today's c
-list is tomorrow's a
-list, So I just bought it as file stuff.

- Uh
-huh.
Now, we don't see kevin As having traveled so much in celebrity circles.
What's the story there?

- No, no, no, no, his girlfriend got around, And she knew the value of the little button On the side of a cell phone.

- Mm.
Amber donelli took the photos.

- Yeah, yeah, amber, so he said.

- Yeah, did he say what she did, by the way?

- You know, hot girl?
You know, kevin used to brag that she paid his rent.
Do the math.
You got her profession.

- I see.
He was okay with that?

- You know, when he came offering more photos, He said that he was moving her toward a career change.

- More photos?
More c
-list actors?

- Well, nothing that I wanted.

- Come on.
What rates a pass in the world of the tabloids these days?

- People with lawyers on retainer Who can devour the likes of me.

- Lawyers on retainer Businessmen.
Wall
-streeters?

- Is it wall str
-
- it's wall
-streeters.
 we got you.
It's wall
-
-it is.
Which one?
Which wall
-streeter?

- Since I wouldn't buy the photos, It's got to be obvious I'm not gonna name names.

- You okay?

- Fine.

- You're on the bonus roster, And this is the key to gil hardy's office.
I want you out of that hole you've been stuck in.

- You know how grateful I am.

- I do.

- [shuddering]
[door opens]

- Dad!
- Hey, buddy.
Hi.

- Daddy.

- Hi, sweetie.

- All right, kids, go back inside.
Get washed up for dinner.
What's going on?
Your cell was turned off, and I've been waiting.

- Oh, I had to take the car in for service.

- Well, come on in.
Food's getting cold.
Oh, and, david, what is that smell?
It's all the way in the kitchen?

- Solvent.
I was just cleaning some tools.

- Oh.
Well, can you get rid of it before we eat?

- Sure.

- Okay, guys, time to eat.
Wash your hands.

- The search at kevin's found a stack of business cards For an outfit called platinum encounters.

- Platinum encounters?
Sometimes it's all in the name.

- Mm
-hmm.
The owner is a woman named sierra brandis, columbia mba
-
- Very 21st century.
Her website offers a list of very tony events, For which she provides female embellishment.

- High
-end cattle call, huh?
Executives, martinis, And a room full of beautiful women.

- I think sierra brandis is our best potential source, But she's probably too smart to pass on to us what she knows.

- I got a thought on that.

- Hmm?

- Serena [mouths words]

- [british accent]
well, I really appreciate You seeing me.

- Always a need for new faces Especially lovely new faces.
You said that you worked in europe?

- Yeah.
I did some conferences For the union de banques suisses in geneva And a few private investors groups in london.

- You speak any other languages?

- French, spanish
-
- I get around pretty well in Italy.

- Worldly, I like it.

- You know, honestly, I was concerned I was being passed over Because I was too worldly.

- Oh, not with your looks, hon.
In new york, all that class and elegance, I could book you every night.

- Really?
You know, in europe, It often went beyond mere attendance.
I don't say that as a complaint.

- Then why say it?

- The girl who gave me your card, She implied that real money might come that way.

- And she have a name?

- Amber donelli.

- Amber [chuckles]
And when did you see her?

- A while back, maybe a month ago.

- And her boyfriend, kevin, you ever meet him?

- She mentioned him, but, no.

- He's trouble.
Stay away from him.

- Really?
Trouble?

- Never mind that.
Back to the fun.
That guy at the end of the bar, When I leave, he's gonna hit on you.
And if your rent's due Or you want new earrings Or maybe you're just up for a dinner at alain ducasse, It's all there and waiting.
Get in touch.

- Well, it's not your lucky night.
[whistling and applause]
[normal voice]
nichols.

- Detective.

- Well, sierra brandis runs a tight ship.

- Yeah?
Legal?

- Skirts the edge.
Offers ambitious women Access to a pool of wealthy men.

- Really?
Any talk of our victim?

- She described kevin denaburg as trouble.

- Say what kind of trouble?

- No.
Mm
-mm.

- So that's all you got?

- Yeah.
And what did you accomplish?

- I, uh, was thinking that if amber Traded up from her tabloid informant To a murderous, door
-slamming, wall street executive type, She might have met him at, uh, this party, Given by willoughby bank and trust.
Turns out that the executive in charge of fun and games Is a guy named david novak.

- Nice.
You haveni vieery cew.
V
- St ill getting used to it.
Just moved from a lower floor.

- Hey, you were in the service, huh?

- Yeah, my reserve unit was called up.

- O.
I.
F.
?

- Yes, two tours.

- Oh, yeah?
What's that?

- Operation iraqi freedom.
My father is usmc, retired.

- That's me and our ceo, nathan grayson.
We were stationed together.

- Mm.
That's how you wound up here?

- Well, nathan felt I was working below my qualifications At waterman's insurance.

- Yeah.
Hey, did you see those gift bags?
They're branded with the bank logo.

- Yeah, that's from our fashion week party.

- Do you remember seeing either one of these two people At those events?

- [scoffs]
we had so many guests.

- Well, she wouldn't have been a guest.
This girl here is amber donelli.
She worked for platinum encounters.

- She's a circuit girl.
You know the term?
Ge
- what's this about?

- This fella in the picture, He was m*rder*d.

- Huh.
Well, I've never seen him.

- Mm
-hmm.

- Detective, my job Is attending to the needs of our clients.
I don't interact with the models we hire.

- Does anyone else at this bank Interact with the models you hire?

- The answer is no.
I really don't like where this is going.

- Mr.
Novak Uh, a bevy of ladies like this at a fashion week party With all your cohorts
-
- no interaction?
That goes right into the "who you kidding" file.

- I don't care what file it goes into.
I really shouldn't continue without benefit of counsel.

- Oh.
W
-what happened?
A minute ago, you seemed inclined to be helpful.
[phone ringing]

- Do you mind?
I
-I have to take this.

- Okay.

- You can tell your counsel He can avoid a lengthy subpoena of all records If we get a list now Of all the people attending those events.

- You know, most mid
-level guys Who play that glad
-handing role Are people pleasers.
You know, it's their job to make everybody happy.
They satisfy the clients.
They satisfy the boss.

- Uh
-huh.

- He was, uh, oddly empowered.

- Good point.

- Yeah, so, anyway, how many on this list Had interaction with amber?
[cell phone chirps]
It's gonna take some interview time.

- Mm
-hmm.
Oh, maybe not.
Amber was picked up in jersey city a half hour ago.

- Look, I didn't even know kevin was dead.

- So why were you running?

- I wasn't running.
We had a fight.
I left him.
I was looking for a new place to live.

- With someone wealthy, more desirable?
We know you work with sierra brandis.

- So what?
I was making good money.
[scoffs]
I didn't want kevin screwing it up.
We fought, I moved out
-
- simple as that.

- And kevin was selling What you'd provided to him to the tabloids And maybe using it for blackmail.
How'd you feel about that, first of all?

- Am I under arrest?

- You're here on a material
-witness warrant.

- So I can leave.

- You can.
And you can return under a m*rder warrant.
We have options.

- [scoffs]
Okay.
Kevin was trying to put the squeeze on someone, A wall street bigwig
-
- Married, lots of money, great car, And some expensive weird sexual preferences.

- Weird?
Like what?

- Dressing up, combat makeup
-
- I played the terrified victim.
Not something he'd want to share With his friends at the country club.

- You have photos, videotape, what?

- [sighs]
kevin put a camera In a laptop computer.
I'd set it up in the hotel room and press record.

- This wall street character
-
- Amber, we're gonna need a name.

- [sighs]
I can give you a name.
[car door opens]

- What's up?

- You didn't return my calls.

- I'm jammed up.
You're gonna need a better ride to go with that new office.
Let's have breakfast tomorrow.

- Sure.
[engine turning]

- David?

- Nathan trusts me with his life.
I need to know, do you trust me too?

- Of course I trust you.
I love you.

- Oh.
I know.
I know.
[sobbing]

- Something triggered the dream and the sweats.
What?

- Nothing.

- No.
We went through this after you came back.
You remember?
You remember how we talked?

- Everything I do is for us! Everything.
[sniffles]
Just believe me Whatever happens, I need you so much.

- I have no idea what you're talking about.
I hired models, that's all.

- And you sampled the merchandise.

- Excuse me?

- Amber donelli, that so
-called model
-
- We talked about her yesterday.
I
-I showed you the picture.
She claims that you and she had a sexual relationship.

- A sexual
-
-no.
You're wrong.
I'm a married man.

- Well, I'm betting most of the clients That use platinum encounters are married too.

- But amber donelli Does connect you to kevin denaburg.

- I told you, I don't know him.

- Kevin had pictures of you.
Was he blackmailing you, mr.
Novak?

- You don't have to answer that, david.
Nathan grayson.

- I'm detective nichols.
This is, uh, my partner, detective stevens.

- Look, I appreciate that you have a job to do, But, uh, david is entitled to counsel.

- You're aware of his association With high
-end prostitutes?

- I'm not.
But from now on, I'll direct everything through our company lawyer.
David is an executive here.
I will not have you treat him this way.

- Right, you two served together.

- Yes.
We fought side by side for this country.

- So you know about his less
-than
-honorable discharge.

- Two unarmed civilians in iraq sh*t to death.
What happened there exactly?

- Hey, people lied.
I was cleared.

- David.

- I was not even charged.

- Stop.
You don't have to justify anything to these people.
Again, talk to our lawyer.
Now, if you'll excuse us, david has work, And I am late for a luncheon.
[door closes]

- Hey, dad.

- Hi.

- Good to see you.

- How are you?

- Hey, sweetheart.

- Nice to see you.
Shall we?

- So union club?

- That sounds great.

- Nice, being one of the gods.

- Nathan grayson is a well
-respected ceo.
Do you really think he's capable?

- An ego
-driven power position like that?
You know, it takes a certain kind of narcissist To run a fortune 500.
And amber donelli talked about a bigwig wall street type With expensive kinky tastes.

- David novak is low
-level.
Nathan grayson has the real power.

- Okay.
You have a hunch, But it shouldn't take this off of david novak.
Find proof he had sex with amber.

- There's not one call, text, or email.

- Hey, you know what I'm thinking?
Kevin maybe stalked her movements.

- Hmm.

- We have his cell phone.

- Yeah.
We'll do a gps trace, check hotels in the area.

- Good.

- The doorman at this midtown hotel Confirms david gave him cash for rooms.

- And about a week ago, he's caught on tape With
-
-watch this.
That's kevin denaburg.

- Okay, amber's testimony plus this?
Time for the d.
A.

- Well
- Am I sensing hesitation?

- Look, david doesn't put up any kind of fight.
He's an iraq w*r veteran, Two tours.
We talk to him, he's tense, on edge.
But when kevin att*cks him right here, He doesn't turn violent.

- Unless he saved the best for last
-
- Sawing off kevin's head, hands, and feet.

- That may be true.
[children chattering]

- Let's go, guys.
You got your presents?

- Yeah.
[siren wails]

- Hold on.
Hold on.

- What's that?

- Come here.
Come here.

- David, what in the world?

- I'll deal with it.

- Please, I'm taking my kids to a birthday party.

- It doesn't work that way, david.
Open the, uh, back of your car, please.

- No, not in front of my kids.

- I'll take them.

- Dad, what's happening?

- Cynthia, wait.

- Amber calls this a great car?

- Open the back of your car, mr.
Novak.
It's clean.

- It's too clean.
This liner has been replaced.
We need to impound your car.

- And we're gonna conduct a full search of your home.

- This is all wrong.

- Shape and size of the blade is similar.
Bag and send to forensics a.
S.
A.
P.
I think we got enough here to arrest.

- We're good.

- You need to stay back, mrs.
Novak.

- Please, he's my husband.

- We'll be okay.
I promise.

- This is devastating.
I mean, david is not just an employee.
He's
-
-he's a friend.

- So you knew about the prostitutes?

- No, not
-
- not really knew.
You know, but
-
- but people work long hours.
It's stressful.
Some need to play.

- You ever play, mr.
Grayson?

- I resent that, detective.
This is about david, not me.
Let's move on to areas that can be more helpful.

- Yeah, that's what we're looking for
-
- Always helpful.
So in that vein, Can you tell us more about your relationship With your friend david?
Back in iraq, Any problems when you guys served together?

- I always believed in him, Even after his trouble over there.

- The dead civilians.

- Nobody believed those iraqi witnesses.
Even my father weighed in with his connections To help david out.

- And what were david's duties here at the bank?

- David's easy to like.
He's good with clients, so
- Yeah, planning parties And showing clients a good time
-
- That's what brought him in contact With the m*rder victim, huh?
The boyfriend of one of the prostitutes With whom he was consorting.

- You seem to know a good deal more than I do.
Uh, look, detectives, I want to be helpful putting this behind us, But, uh, unfortunately, right now I'm late for a meeting, So if
-
-if you don't mind
- Yeah, sure.
Absolutely.
You have been, in fact, very helpful.
We'll be in touch.

- He means that.
My guess is the last thing he needs Is a scandal with some prost*tute.
Throwing david under the bus makes a certain sense.

- Yeah, what he's really trying to avoid Is a bigger scandal
-
- k*lling kevin denaburg.

- Well, it's still a leap, Given the mountain of evidence against david.

- Wait.
Wait.
David, in iraq, is accused of k*lling unarmed civilians, But nathan grayson's father puts his reputation on the line For a guy he's never met?

- There's an expression, "bleeding army green"
-
- What you'll do for the men you serve with.

- Or what a father'll do for family, for his son.

- With all we're putting david through, I hope you're wrong.

- 'cause if I'm right, We're charging the wrong guy with m*rder.

- Aren't you supposed to build cases And not take them apart?

- I just think it's a very strong possibility That david is covering for nathan.

- I can't go to the d.
A.
With that.

- Well, there's also the car That amber described as "a great car.
"
- Which doesn't fit david's suv.

- So maybe he rented a ferrari to impress her.
It still doesn't link nathan grayson To the k*lling of kevin denaburg.

- Here, will this help?
Take a look at those.

- It might mean complicity, But blood from the victim Matches samples found on david's saw and in his car.

- Because he dealt with the body, But that's all he did.
The m*rder w*apon was a car door.
The wounds on kevin denaburg Don't match the measurements Of the toyotas that are driven by david or s wife.

- And nathan grayson?

- Registration shows that he has an s
-class mercedes, Which a jersey girl like amber donelli Could describe as a great car.

- You're asking me to act On a vague piece of circumstantial evidence.

- We think it's more than that.

- I don't often give orders, but you both know the problem.
You stay away from david novak and his lawyer.
Your theory could provide an alternate theory For david's defense, And if he's guilty, he could go free.

- Detective stevens?

- Mm
-hmm?

- Detective, uh You know m*llitary legal procedure, yes?

- What, the ucmj?
My
-
-my father wasn't in the judge advocate's office.

- From what I know, It's very hard to make a m*llitary m*rder case Without a body.

- I grew up learning how much they like hard facts.

- At the time this happened, do you remember?
Terror killings were rampant.
Civilians m*rder*d by death squads, Even corrupt police
-
- you remember that?

- Yeah, there were mass graves everywhere, Bodies strewn.

- Bodies whose heads and hands and feet Had been cut off.

- To hide their identity
- Yeah.

- Like our victim.

- That's right.

- Yeah, but that
-
-that points towards david's guilt, Not his innocence.

- David moved the body, And he cut it up just like he'd done before in iraq, For nathan.

- We can't go and speak to david about this.

- That's okay.
I'd rather talk to the wife.

- Okay.
[chuckles]
but you heard callas in there.
There's a line we can't cross.

- What, are you kidding?

- No, I'm not kidding.
You go there, I'll
-
- I'll terminate the interview.

- Your father only wanted facts.
My mother taught me to work within boundaries.

- His prior job was claims adjuster.
When he got called up by the reserve, Our world collapsed, financially.

- Since then, you seem to have done pretty well.

- Yeah, we have Until now.
But look, my husband is innocent.
He's not a k*ller.
He is a good man.

- Nathan grayson Isn't a great deal owed to him?

- What we have comes from david's hard work, Not nathan's favors.

- A cushy job at the bank.
Why do you suppose nathan gave him that?

- They became close in iraq.
What those guys went through, nobody can understand.
Those iraqis were always accusing our servicemen.
The so
-called witnesses Couldn't even pick david out of a lineup!
- Cynthia It's possible that those witnesses Didn't see david doing the crime, But somebody that david knew.

- I don't understand.

- Well, think about it.
Nathan swoops in as soon as they come back And sets him up at the bank.

- Oh, my god.
Nathan?
He took the blame for nathan?
We'd lost our house.
He was coming back to no job, Marked by a general discharge, And then everything suddenly turned around.

- Because of nathan.

- Oh.
[scoffs]
And david thinks nathan cares about him.

- Mr.
Grayson Thank you so much for coming in.
Our captain agreed that it's, uh, very important For you to be part of this process.
Thank you.

- Yeah, well, I'm relieved to hear somebody listens.

- Yeah.
Fair warning, though
-
- David's defense is undoubtedly gonna subpoena you And try to confuse the jury about
-
-
- He's actually asked me for defense counsel.

- Really?
And what, you're gonna
-
- you're gonna take A "wait and see" attitude on that?
Oh, that's a very smart move.

- Detective, I was harvard law.
I could teach courtroom strategy to your d.
A.

- Please.

- Wh
-
-what's this?

- Take it easy.
We're just gonna sort some things out
-
- The details of kevin's death.

- I don't know anything about that.

- You meet him up in yonkers.

- No.
No, no, I didn't.

- We know you were there.
The gps reading on your car tells us so.

- Bull.
There's nothing on my system.

- Well, you erased the entry from your system, But your gps provider, They
-
-they store a backup on their mainframe.
So there's only one thing we don't get.
We know you used the highlander to dump the body, But who was driving the mercedes?
David?
You're going to jail.
Would you like it to be for a long time Or a really long time?
Who drove the other car
-
- your wife?
She help you?

- Keep my family out of this.

- We talked to her.
She seems very committed to you.
Seems like she'd do anything to help you out.

- Enough.
You can't mess with me.
He called
-
- he called me in a panic.
He said he'd take care of me, take care of my family.

- I did take care of you.

- You son of a bitch.
I won't let you do this to me, not anymore!
- David, it won't help you to alienate me.

- [breathing heavily]

- But you do own a mercedes, Don't you, mr.
Grayson?

- Excuse me?

- S
-class, to be exact.

- What does that have to do with anything?

- Maybe nothing, possibly everything.

- [chuckles]
Forgive me, detective.
It took me a few minutes to catch on.
This is quite a interesting little game you're playing here.

- What do you mean?

- Yeah.
Do us a favor, huh?
Lose the performance.
If he's your star witness, Your case is already in the toilet.

- I wouldn't be so sure.
Your flaw is that you exploit people Like david, 'cause you're too weak to face consequences.
You come up against a real crisis on your own, You fold.
You're a coward.
Yeah, amber donelli called her sex client By the name david novak, But, uh, here in these pictures,  I don't care what you told her your name was, That's you, nathan.
Not the kind of thing That you'd, uh, want around.

- Ah.
Look at this
-
- Using david's name, letting him take the fall.
You almost skated on this.

- First in iraq, now this.

- You don't know anything.

- We know enough.

- Nothing said here is of any value.

- Right.
This has all been just a little something To keep you occupied while we searched your car.

- You touch my car without a warrant, And you will regret it, I assure you.

- Why?
What are you gonna do
-
- call daddy?
Huh?
Here.
He may, in fact, be very interested in this.
Come on in.
Thank you, jim.
Mr.
Grayson, are you, uh, familiar With the mechanics of door latches For various vehicles?

- Enlighten me, please.

- Well, each make and model is unique.

- Which makes identification real easy.
No two doorjambs are alike.

- So let me understand this.
You sandbagged me with this circus act While you seized my car?

- Uh
-huh.
We needed to match the wound patterns From kevin's body with your car door.

- Well, since your stupidity Prevents you from the realization Of your misguided actions, I'll explain.

- Stupidity?

- Yeah.
See, you had no probable cause.
Huh?
So therefore your search of my vehicle was illegal.
Okay?
You found the kid's dna on my car door?
So what?
In the law, it's called fruit of the poisoned tree.
All evidence seized during that search Is inadmissible.
You just gave away your entire case, detectives.

- It's interesting that you just talked About kevin getting hit with a car door.
David didn't know that.
In effect, what you've just told us Is that at the moment that kevin was k*lled, David wasn't there.

- As for your car, it's right where you left it.
A dealership on 41st street lent us this.
[clattering]
they were very helpful.

- It's not your car.
And you're right.
We do need probable cause To check your gps And the real car door with the actual dna.
But luckily, what you said Just gave that to us.

- After all I did You keep these pictures to screw me!
- I trusted you But not enough.
I had to have my insurance too.
[handcuffs clicking]

- Nathan grayson, You're under arrest for the m*rder of kevin denaburg.

- [spits]

- You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you In a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney
- Accessory after the fact.
With a plea, david's looking at some time.

- I think she'll wait.

- David
- He'll have nothing when he comes out.

- He'll have a conscience.
She values that.
