Love You to Death (2015) - full transcript
A prosecutor must work on a case which reminds her of her childhood, when her mother was killed by her alcoholic father.
Hey!
Hey!
Officer, I have a restraining
order against that man,
right there!
You stay away from me!
I m so sick and tired of
listening to you bother me...
Jack, I m just asking you
to help out a little...
When I come home, I
want to have a drink,
I don t want to listen
to any of this crap.
No, I'm not...
You understand me? I said n.
Jack, please!
Is that crystal clear to you?
And where are the girls?
Jack, calm down!
Who told the girls they could
leave this house?
Calm down, alright?
I made it crystal clear I wantd
them to clean their room
before they went out
for ice cream.
They haven t done anything
wrong, okay?
Now where are they?
Jack!
You let them walk where?
Jack, it was just for ice cream.
Princess...
Hey, come give Daddy
a big hug.
Come here!
Daddy just won a big case.
Come here Princess,
give me a hug.
Let her go!
You shut up.
You know, you re
just like your mother.
Jack, leave them alone!
Come on, girls.
Get back over here.
Hey!
Don t you walk away from me,
get over here.
Get over here!
Get back here, girls.
Alright, come on.
Get back here, now!
You get in your room, okay?
Get in your room, okay?
Jack, you need to leave
them alone.
Leave them alone... why
would I leave them alone?
Those are my girls?
You re scaring them.
I'm scaring them...
Am I scaring you girls, huh?
Am I scaring you?
Jack, you need to...
You get in your rooms,
okay?
Don t you turn your back
on me.
Mom!
Do you swear to tell
the whole truth,
so help you God?
Yes, I do.
Mr. Locke...
Where were you
on December 5th?
I was with my father
at a charity event.
And would you mind telling
the court who your father is?
Why? I don't see...
My father is Governor
Barry Locke.
What time did
you guys get home?
It was, uh, it was
around 11:00 P.M.
And you have evidence
to corroborate that?
A security camera saw my father
and I leave the event.
Uh, that evidence
has been submitted.
Yes it has, but that security
camera has you leaving at, uh...
9:35.
We went and had dinner on
the way back from the event.
He s corroborated my story.
Yes, why don t you just tell me
what happened
when you got home?
I, uh... I heard yelling
coming from the house.
And... I went in through
the garage and saw... a man...
at the top of the stairs
with my wife.
He was wearing a...
mask and holding a knife.
They struggled and, uh...
when I cried out...
When I cried out,
he pushed her and she fell
down the steps.
I ran over and I, and I...
and I tried to save her
but it was too late.
She, she...
she hit her head
on the floor.
I didn t know what to do.
Um... no, you didn't know
what to do.
You didn t know to call
the police.
You didn't do that
for another 45 minutes.
I went after the intruder.
Did you?
Yes.
Mr. Locke, there s no evidence
of an intruder.
There s no sign of forced entry
or footsteps around the house...
except yours.
And there s no fingerprints
inside the house,
there's really nothing...
except your bloody fingerprints
from when you moved
the body.
He exists!
An intruder pushed my wife
down the steps
and I watched her die.
D.A. Winters...
No more questions,
your honour.
Prosecution calls, um...
Roberta Flores...
Mr. Locke s, uh, maid.
I would never hurt my wife!
You ve got the wrong guy!
Mr. Locke, please step down.
My name is Roberta Flores.
I was, uh, Mr. and Miss Locke s
maid for five years.
And did you live with Mr. Locke?
I lived in the guest house.
I would also help
with the children.
And were you home
on December 5th?
Yes.
I was there.
You keep looking
at the defendant, Ms. Flores...
does he scare you?
No, ma am.
I wasn t looking at Mr. Locke.
Hi Princess.
Continue D.A. Winters.
Yes, um... sorry, just...
um...
D.A. Winters...
Yes, um, I need a second.
Ms. Flores, um...
I'm sorry,
I need to interrupt.
Would jurors five, seven
and eleven please stand?
I have here an affidavit
from your lawyers
stating that you were contacted
outside this room
by a representative of the
District Attorney's office...
What?
What s going on?
I don t know.
Quiet!
The letter also states that
you were selected for this jury
in an effort by the D.A.
to secure a verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree
against the defendant.
Your honour, we did nothing
of the sort.
This is the first that
we've heard of this!
I have a sworn affidavit
from the jurors.
You did this!
D.A. Winters, that is enough.
You did this!
You paid them off!
Winters!
You re not going to get
away with this,
I know you killed your wife!
I m going to make you pay!
You re just like my father.
D.A. Winters, that is enough!
I declare this a mistrial,
court is adjourned.
The Governor has gone
on record stating that
Mr. Locke's innocence
will be substantiated.
Once again, shocking turn
of events as three jurors
have come forward
with a signed affidavit
saying that prosecutor Yasmine
Winters stacked the jury.
Would you turn that off please?
The Governor s office
has started
an independent investigation...
You can t beat yourself
up over this.
What did the doctor s say?
I m fine.
Look, I had a panic attack,
I hyperventilated.
I m almost finished filing
the new case
and the petition should keep
the kids in protective custody.
Winters...
And I have a meeting with
Locke s lawyers this afternoon,
and... Winters...
I m going to need to borrow a
couple people from research.
Maybe Sue, Rachel and...
Winters!
You re taking a leave.
What?
Look, it s already
been approved...
and it s not negotiable.
Go visit your sister.
What?
Now, really?
I should ve seen
the signs earlier.
My dad practically
killed my mother.
They said it was a suicide
but I know better.
It was a mistake!
I made a mistake and it s
not going to happen again.
Yasmine... did you talk
to the jurors?
How could you ask me that?
I have to.
No, I didn t.
The only thing his little jury
stunt did
was buy you more time to build
a case against him.
Hmm?
Now go home and don t tell
anyone where you re going.
Find some time for yourself
and Paige...
come back and win this case.
Copies of the proceedings.
Okay.
Let s eat.
Don t hang up!
I m coming,
I m coming.
Don t hang up!
Hello?
Hey sis...
it's Yasmine.
Hey!
I know it s last minute but,
um,
I was thinking about coming
to visit you.
It'll be like we were kids
again!
Two Winters sisters,
getting in trouble.
And Paige?
Of course, Paige.
But I have to warn you, this
isn t exactly the big city.
I don t have Wi-Fi.
How rustic.
It's okay, my phone
has a data plan.
I'll get everything ready.
Thanks sis.
Okay... can't wait.
I'll see you soon.
Okay. I'm excited.
Okay, bye!
See you guys later.
Hey.
Hey.
Are we leaving?
We re going on a holiday.
What, are you serious? When?
Now.
Sweet! No school.
Nuh uh, not exactly.
You re going to do
your courses online,
it s all worked out
with the principal.
Well how long are we
going for?
Two weeks.
Seriously? Homework
on a vacation?
Oh Paige, you re going
to have fun too.
And I, uh, packed
all your stuff.
Wait, did you bring
my boots?
No, you don t need your boots.
No, I want my boots.
Come on, let s go home.
We re not going home
for your boots, Paige!
Oh, come on!
It's just around the corner...
please?
No.
Mom...
Mmhmm?
I love you.
And that s very nice, Paige.
I love you too.
So, can we get my boots?
No.
We re getting my boots, right?
No, we re not.
Yeah we are.
Oh, I hit something,
be careful.
Okay, fine... only boots.
Hello! I just made cookies.
Oh my gosh.
Hi.
You re so big!
She looks just like Mom,
doesn t she sis?
Maybe a little around the eyes.
Yeah. More than the eyes.
Well let me help you
with your luggage.
Oh, this is it.
Well you two travelled light.
Mom s stricter than an airline.
Only one carryon allowed
and my boots.
Well when Laura
and I were young,
Mom always made sure we were
packed and ready to go.
Why?
Uh... I made cookies!
You already said that.
Uh huh, chocolate chip.
Oh, Peter! Peter!
Come here!
Come over here.
Come here, hi!
Hey, hey Laura.
This is Peter.
He s my very attractive,
single neighbour.
Oh, he s attractive alright.
Paige!
Peter, this is my sister
Yasmine.
Hi.
Hi... nice to meet you.
This is my daughter, Paige.
Hi Paige.
The District Attorney...
I read about you...
heard many good things
from Laura.
Lies... all lies.
Well, maybe one or two lies.
How about a chocolate chip
cookie?
Your favourite.
I can't, um, I'm off
to the office.
It s nice to finally meet you,
Yasmine.
Nice to meet you too, Peter.
Good day, uh...
What?
You like him.
Not in the way you think.
I think she s right.
His wife passed,
two years ago.
He s ready to move on.
I came here to clear my head
and to work, not to date.
Okay, okay.
Mmhmm.
Get up here, look at you!
Oh my gosh.
You fixed it.
I found it in the basement
after Dad moved away.
You should ve kept it buried.
Yeah, it's...
Mom, you look so young.
It was her eighth birthday.
I do look like your mom.
Agreeing with Aunt Laura s
not going to win you any points.
Yes it does!
Ah, well it'll also win you
going to pick vegetables out
of her vegetable garden and
maybe making some clothes.
Ha ha ha, very funny!
Come on, let's go unpack.
I got work to do.
You re on vacation!
Only in spirit.
Did she really bring work?
Timothy Locke,
she s obsessed.
I told you to keep
the garage door locked.
You re hurting me.
They were inside of my car.
Let go of me!
Yasmine, you get over here.
I saw the news reports,
looks like a very tough case.
Did he really kill his wife?
Yes, yes he did.
The worst part is though
he has these two kids...
and if I don t get him
behind bars,
then he s going to have custody
of them and I can t have that.
I can't...
Still fighting
the good fight?
Yeah, well you too.
It s a fair trade.
Hmm...
Mom, I don't have
any bars.
Uh, turn on your roaming,
I bought a data plan.
I m going to get dinner
from the garden.
Paige, want to help?
Two bars, thank you God.
It s going to be
squash spaghetti.
I m talking to a couple
of tech junkies.
Is that a phone?
I think so.
Well... aren't you going
to answer it?
We'll let it go to voicemail.
I don t think that thing
has voicemail.
Hello, Winters residence...
Yasmine speaking.
Hello?
Hello?
I think this thing is broken.
Hello?
Yasmine...
Yas, it s your dad.
Yasmine, please talk to me.
Mom?
Mom?
Aunt Laura, come quick!
Yasmine...
Mom... Mom.
Yasmine, I just want to talk.
It s me, Dad.
Yasmine, are you there?
You can t ignore me forever!
Tell Laura I called.
Hi.
You fainted.
Not so fast.
Here... just follow
my finger and...
I m fine.
I m okay, thank you.
Mom, you answered the phone
and then just collapsed.
I m sorry if I scared you,
sweetie.
Scared me?
You terrified me.
I m sorry.
It was him...
on the phone.
Why is he calling here?
I wanted to tell you...
Tell me what?
You need to rest, seriously.
Doctor s orders.
Doctor, who...
you re a doctor?
Yes, that s what my business
card reads as...
Doctor Peter Sorensen.
Thank you, very much
but I, um,
I need a couple moments
with my sister.
Thank you.
Okay... hey Paige, um,
why don't we go make some
hot chocolate in the kitchen?
Are you sure you're okay,
Mom?
Yes sweetie, I m totally fine.
You talked to our father?
The man who killed our mom.
He didn t kill her.
Maybe not directly...
He deserves another chance.
He doesn t deserve
another chance, Laura.
Are you out of your mind?
He called me six months ago
and he wanted to talk.
What should I have done?
Hung up!
He s changed, Yasmine.
People like that don t change!
He asked about you.
I don t believe this.
I don t believe you.
I should never have come back.
I saw what he did to you.
Yes... and I forgive him.
Well I don t!
We're leaving... now.
Yasmine... listen to me.
Don't you feel the hate
you carry inside?
Coming here is the universe
telling you to let go.
The thing that happened
in the courtroom,
Yas... surely you see this.
This is the universe telling me
my sister is off her rocker!
For Paige s sake, you
need to face your past,
to stay a couple of days.
We can talk this through.
There s nothing to talk through.
There is.
When you left... I stayed
in this house.
Mom's house.
Our home.
Alone.
Just me... and a whole
lot of anger.
I had to change here
to find peace.
I had to forgive him.
I had to forgive Mom...
and I did.
It s never too late.
You owe it to yourself
to at least try.
I m sorry Yasmine.
I... I didn't mean for you
to find out like...
It s okay, it s okay.
It s okay.
Hey, I don't think you
should be walking.
I m fine.
Really, I m fine.
Mom, Peter s a psychiatrist.
A shrink.
Peter Sorensen, doctor
of psychiatric medicine
at your service.
He helped me.
He can... he can help you.
No, no, no... I'm not here to
sell my professional services.
I just wanted to make sure
you were safe, that s all.
Thank you.
I should get going, um...
see you guys later.
Good night.
Good night.
He helped me...
and he can help you.
Laura! You're being pushy.
Yasmine, you fainted...
and that s not normal, okay?
PTSD and anxiety are real.
It took me almost two years
to let go of my pain.
It s liberating.
Hey!
Hey.
Are you sure
you're feeling okay?
Yes, I am.
I m much better.
Look Paige, I just, um...
haven't heard my father's voice
in so long
and it surprised me.
Mom... you know a voice shouldn't make you
want to faint.
I know it shouldn t,
but I m fine.
Okay?
Okay.
I don t know, maybe
Aunt Laura s right.
Maybe you do have post traumatic
stress disorder.
Will you stop listening
to your Aunt Laura?
She s not always right.
Hey troopers... I'm leaving
at 8:00 A.M. tomorrow
and I'd like you
both to come along.
I want to show you around.
Okay, for a couple of hours
but I just have to...
Perfect! See you
bright and early.
Well I guess I d better get
some sleep.
Yeah.
Good night.
Good night, Mom.
Child services has just denied
Timothy Locke custody
of his two young children
pending further review.
Mr. Locke!
Were you surprised that
you didn t get custody?
Mr. Locke?
I will get my children back
and prove my innocence,
no matter what D.A.
Winters thinks she has on me,
because it s false!
I did not kill my wife.
She should focus
on who actually did.
No one will stop me
from getting my kids back.
Chilling words from a man
innocent until proven guilty.
This is Karl Summers,
KPPQ News, Seattle.
Hey, it s Yasmine.
Did you see the Locke intervie?
Pretty sure that constitutes
a threat.
Technically no, but we did
receive death threats
at the office this morning.
The local police are
checking it out.
How s Ms. Flores?
She's scared...
I received a call
from the Governor.
He wants to review
the case personally.
I have to give him
Ms. Flores testimony.
That is not a good idea.
You re revealing our smoking
gun, you have to stall him.
You re putting her life
in danger!
If I don t, he'll pull the plug.
Yasmine?
Brown, I m so sorry,
I have to go.
I'll call you later.
Okay. Bye.
Are you not ready to go?
I'll be five minutes.
Hey... when did you start
eating vegetables.
The ones that Aunt Laura grows
just taste better.
Okay... five minutes.
Hurry up!
The building was recently
expanded into classrooms
for a myriad of reasons.
School?
Sort of... but mostly to teach
basic life skills
to people who didn't
graduate high school.
We host agricultural events...
anything to help the community.
As a social worker,
I have three goals...
education, independence
and employment.
I'm very happy
when one of my clients
no longer needs my assistance.
Um... Paige, honey...
do you mind giving us
a second?
Some of my cases
have private matters
I need your mom s help with.
Yeah.
Okay.
What?
Come with me.
Carla... this is my sister,
Yasmine.
Hey.
Hey.
Hello.
Carla has a few issues that I
thought you could help us with?
Six months ago, arrested in
connection with an armed robbery
that her boyfriend James
committed at a liquor store.
A man was shot by James.
Carla was in the car thinking
James was inside
buying a six pack.
Accessory after the fact?
I didn t know.
He drove away
and then when the cops showed up
at our apartment,
he forced me to lie about
his location.
Carla...
He d hurt me.
I didn t know what to do.
Don t come out Yas,
until I say.
Promise me!
It was an accident!
She s a little kid,
accidents happen.
Listen, I don t care.
Do you know how much
that shirt was?
Don t you judge me!
Jack!
Daddy, stop!
Did you just tell me to stop?
You think you can tell me what
to do, just like your mother?
Now where s Yas, huh?
She is going to clean up
this stain.
Where is she?
Please... leave her alone!
Yasmine?
Yep, uh...
Are you okay?
Mmhmm.
The public defender can help
you with this.
I have one, he s no good.
Carla, I m the one who puts
you in jail,
not the one who keeps you out.
Yasmine... she's innocent.
And if I thought
any differently,
I wouldn't have brought her
to you.
She s a good person.
The public defender messed up
pretty bad,
she s going to serve time.
I'm sorry, I can't get involved
in this.
Yeah, I knew
she wouldn t help.
I can t, Carla.
You know I have been trying
like really, really hard
to get my life
back together
but all the state wants to do
is just shove me inside
a jail cell.
You said that
she'd understand,
that she'd seen abuse...
but maybe, maybe she s forgot
what it feels like to be hurt.
I can t believe you ambushed
me like that, Laura.
I mean, you always do this
to me.
You always force me
into these situations.
Okay, maybe I lead you
into helping Carla but...
she needs a good lawyer
and you re the best.
Please!
She s a good person
who was abused.
She doesn t deserve this.
Fine.
I'll look it over.
But don t ever do this
to me again.
I m sorry.
I crossed a line.
Yes, you did.
I'm going to go get
a coffee.
Hi.
Uh, the usual, to go please.
Hi.
Hi.
Well I see you've found the best
coffee shop in town.
Yeah, it wasn t a coffee shop
when I lived here
but it s good.
May I?
Please.
You should try the pie.
They bake it fresh every day.
You know, I m not a pie person.
My mom made it all the time
growing up.
My favourite's cherry
but she always made apple
'cause...
well, it s complicated.
Complicated s okay.
You re good.
What?
I already want to tell you
my life story
and I've met you, what... twice?
You're just really...
Yes?
Comfortable.
Thank you.
Are you in a hurry?
Yeah, I had a patient of mine go
off their medication.
I'm heading to the state ward
to pay him a visit.
Better get going then.
I d rather stay here.
Well that would be nice.
Will you go to dinner with me?
Tonight.
Uh, there s not a lot of
restaurants in town
but if you like sushi...
Sushi?
Sushi is my favourite.
I can t believe they have
sushi here, that s great.
So it s a date.
Yes.
I'll pick you up at 7:00.
You re okay, you re okay.
Hey, hey!
Breathe deep... deep and slowly,
there you go.
There you go,
breathe deep and slowly.
You re okay.
I thought I saw...
Who?
My father.
Um... panic attacks...
you re having acute
panic attacks.
Usually brought on by stress
or traumatic events.
Oh my God, your pants.
It s fine, it s okay.
No, it s not okay!
I can get you another pair.
It s okay.
I ve got to go to work,
I m late.
I m really so sorry.
Yasmine...
it s okay.
Thanks.
Um... we're still on
for tonight?
Yeah.
I m looking forward to it.
Great.
Great.
Confidence.
It s about believing in
ourselves and our abilities.
And my sister, folks!
Yas...
I need to talk to you.
Right now?
I saw him.
Who?
Jack.
Let s take a ten minute break.
Dad retired to, uh, Texas.
Well if he drives a Wagoneer,
he is here, right now.
I m pretty sure I saw him.
Pretty sure?
Well I didn't... you know
I didn t get a great look
but it was him.
Did he look like he was
20 years older?
Or did he look like
how you remember him?
I don t know.
He looked like
how I remember him.
You re projecting, Yas.
I m projecting?
It s common.
I went through it.
When did you first see Dad?
Um... in the courtroom, he
was in the place of Timothy.
Your mind is trying to process
repressed traumatic memories,
it's normally at the root
of PTSD.
Maybe your case with
Timothy triggered it.
I learned a lot about this.
Oh, from Peter?
Yes, he's good...
And he helped.
You re not crazy.
Millions suffer from this.
There are ways to deal
with this.
Like a straight jacket?
Like confronting your past.
Laura... no.
The past is just that,
it's the past and that's
where it stays.
Thank you.
Yes, I understand.
What s going on?
I ought to take you out
and bury you myself
for bringing all this
onto our family.
You are pathetic!
I ve put things into motion.
Besides the maid,
is there any other evidence
that could, uh,
point this murder at you?
I... I...
I... I... what?
I don t know, okay!
I don t remember.
There s too much going on
right now.
You figure it out!
You figure it out unless
you want to rot in prison
for the rest of your life.
You figure it out and then
we'll clean this up.
God, you always were
a disappointment to me.
The only reason I m doing
this is for mother
and the grandkids.
Did you talk to social services
about my kids?
We re dealing with them
but they re not budging.
So... you figure out who or...
or what else could possibility
implicate you in this murder.
Could you do that?
Hi.
Hey.
Uh, she s not ready yet.
She had a hard day.
I know, um... well maybe
these will cheer her up.
No, but it s still a nice touch.
Hey!
You look nice.
Here, for you.
Thank you.
I can't remember the last time
someone brought me flowers.
Oh come on,
that can t be true!
Actually it is, Mom
doesn t go out much.
Go put these in some water.
Okay.
We should go.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Great, okay.
Okay.
Aye aye aye.
Have a good time you two!
Thank you.
You are welcome.
Oh my God.
You typically have a hard time
with liquids?
I don t know, is that a symptom?
Of?
Of I don t know, Peter.
I don't know whether
this is a dinner
or an attempt at a diagnosis
set up by my sister.
Simply a dinner
of my own accord.
I m onto you.
Thank you.
Um... how's your patient?
The mind's a complicated puzzle.
I give her medications
to regulate imbalances
and when I think I get it
just right...
the mind tricks her
into believing
she no longer needs
the treatment.
It's a cycle...
that I'm sure you find dull
compared to the bright lights
of a big city District Attorney.
I have my days.
You know...
Laura talks about you
all the time.
She probably tells you more
than she should.
You left here
when you were 17,
you put yourself through college
and then law school,
a single mother...
You re a fighter.
I work hard to get
what I want.
You always get
what you want?
I think the trick is wanting
what you re just about to get.
Hello?
Who s there?
And, uh... not long
after they found the cancer.
I m so sorry, that must ve
been horrible to go through.
Yeah, I felt helpless I wasn't
able to save her.
I was devastated.
It took me a long time
to heal.
I miss her but you know, um,
love is a funny thing.
You never know where
you're going to find it.
Paige is fantastic,
you are very lucky.
Yes I am, she never complains
about anything.
She s like you!
No, no... she, um,
acts like me
but she s a lot more like Laura.
Which I m happy about because
when she s like me, we fight.
Carla!
Hey.
What are you doing here?
You re out on bail.
Easy, easy... this doesn't
include you.
What are you doing?
This kind of behaviour isn t
going to get your daughter back
and it's not going to keep you
out of prison.
What s the point?
I may as well have a little fun
before I get locked up.
Listen, if you want me
to help you,
you have to stay sober.
Cause I ve looked at your
case and I think I can help you.
Really?
You re going to help me?
Yes.
But you do what I say or I walk.
Okay.
Okay.
Rule number one, get
sober and stay that way.
Thank you.
Okay. Go home and I'll call you
in the morning.
Seriously man?
Okay, party s over.
Step off, guys.
Time to step off.
See ya!
What a joke.
Wow. Good job.
Thanks.
You want to go get
a cup of coffee?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Did you see how I...
Sort of just got
in between there.
You did, you re like, you re
like a super hero, you know?
Sort of.
Aunt Laura?
Was my grandfather
really a monster?
No.
But for a time he was
very abusive.
He had a temper and
he was an alcoholic.
Did he kill my grandmother?
Not directly.
She slipped down the stairs
and broke her back.
They had her
on pain pills.
The coroner said it was
an accidental death
but Yas and I knew it
was her, um... way out.
But she left you and Mom
with him,
that s pretty brutal.
It wasn t for very long.
After the funeral, Dad pretty
much abandoned us
so we learned to sew up old
jeans, grow a decent carrot,
make due with very little.
We were quite the team until
your mom left for college.
How can you still talk to him?
He knows what he did
was wrong.
He asks about you.
Mom wouldn't want
to hear that.
He d like to meet you.
Mom would freak.
Your mom has to let go
of her pain.
You shouldn t inherit that.
She'll never change.
She will.
We just have to nudge her
a little bit.
Hmm?
They re back!
Mmhmm.
Well, that was an eventful
evening.
It was.
But you know, despite all the
drama I had a really good time.
Yeah, me too.
I really want to do this again.
So do I.
Hey!
So... how was it?
Great, Paige.
I'll see you later.
Yeah, good night.
I'll see you later, bye.
So, did you kiss him?
Stop it!
What?
Hello?
Someone hit the safe house
last night.
Ms Flores?
Dead.
Well, get a warrant!
Let s put Locke behind bars,
now!
Timothy was at the family
cabin on Vancouver Island.
There s nothing that connects
him directly to the hit.
Oh, come on!
You know he did it.
Of course he did it.
I m coming back.
No! Stay there, it's safer...
until I get a handle on
what s going on.
I'll call you later.
I m so excited.
This isn t going to be easy.
Your drug test isn t a pass.
Maybe it s a mistake.
You know sometimes,
sometimes they make mistakes.
There's several... positives.
Okay, I didn t do anything
since you took my case, so...
I believe you!
But in order for a jury
to see you as innocent,
you need to be a beacon
of light.
They need to see you
as the victim.
The hospital.
What about it?
There are records of the abuse
at the hospital.
The, uh, fractured skull,
broken arm, ribs...
Carla, why didn't you tell me
about this?
Because nobody else knows, even
the hospital think I m clumsy.
Okay. If I'm going to do this
you have to stop the lies,
okay?
Because you are throwing
away any chance of being free
and any chance of ever
having your daughter again.
I am sorry!
I m sorry and I m trying.
Try harder!
You need to dump
your friends,
quit the drugs and grow up!
Because this case
against you is real,
this prison time thing is real,
you re going to do real time!
Yasmine! That's enough.
She needs to know the truth.
What she needs is support.
You asked me to do this!
Well, this is how I m doing it.
Can I speak to you
in the hallway please?
How dare you talk to me
like that.
Do you ever think
for one second
that maybe she
shouldn't be a mother?
Maybe she was right,
maybe you ve forgotten
what it s like to be scared
of your life.
The hurt... what we did
to cover it up.
Laura, that doesn t matter.
Child services isn t going
to see it that way.
But they should!
Her daughter is the only person
she lives for,
it s the one thing
that keeps her going.
Well this is on you because
I don t belong here, okay?
I'm used to being
on the other side.
I m used to putting people
like her in jail.
You re right, I shouldn t have
asked you.
I shouldn't have forced you
into this, you're right.
I m sorry.
I just, uh, I need you to tell
Natalie that I'm sorry.
You know... you weren't
always so strong.
Don t forget who helped you.
Hey. Can I grab a coffee,
please?
Joan.
Child protective services
is going to release the kids
to Timothy on Friday.
Well he s still on the hook
for murder...
and it sounds like he s
still killing.
When s the next hearing date?
Four weeks.
Okay, I want you to call
Judge Roberts
and get him to fit us
in this week.
He owes us one.
Without the maid,
we have no case.
The forensics point to murder,
we'll just stand on that.
We both know that s not
strong enough.
Look... if I don't get the
defense something substantial,
they re going to motion
that we drop the case.
I m coming home.
I m coming home, we re going
to work on this together.
No! Stay there, that's an order.
Yas... we think whoever
killed Ms. Flores
might be looking for you.
What would make you
think that?
We got a call from
your landlord,
she s been looking for you.
Well the service here
is crap, Joan.
What s going on?
Someone broke into your home.
Paige, can I see you
for a moment out back?
Uh, yeah... sure.
Paige... this is your
grandfather, Jack Winters.
You look just like your mother.
Paige, he just wants
to say hi.
I just wanted to meet you,
I've heard so much about
you from Laura.
Please come one over here,
it s okay.
What are you afraid of?
Dad.
Just like Yasmine.
Dad.
I'll call you.
Yeah.
Yeah, just like old times.
Why was he here?
I thought you said he was
in Texas!
God, Mom is going to freak
when she finds out.
I mean, there s the
restraining order...
Paige...
And we can t say anything,
okay?
Because I m only 15.
Shh, Paige... he just wanted
to see his granddaughter.
Tell him I m sorry I ran.
I will.
And did they take anything else?
That s it?
The locks have been changed.
Okay, thank you very much.
Bye.
Thanks.
Is everything okay?
Well, my key witness is dead
and someone broke into my house.
Pissed off the wrong guy.
No, he s the right guy he s just
not going down without a fight.
Can you give me a second?
Mmhmm.
Hello?
Yes!
This is Yasmine Winters,
I m Carla Chambers lawyer.
I want to discuss my client s
visitation with her daughter.
I m aware the case
is unresolved
but that's not grounds
to withhold her visitation.
There are records of
the abuse at the hospital.
There are records of
the abuse at the hospital.
Okay, thanks. Bye.
I ve got him.
I m assuming you re talking
about Timothy.
Yes!
Vancouver Island.
Their family has a cabin there
and it s in Canada.
We wouldn't have gotten
the records
from the time they visited
the hospital because...
it s another country.
I need to make one
more phone call.
Do your thing.
Yeah, it s me.
Okay, I need you to do
something for me.
I need you to check all the
hospitals on Vancouver Island
for their medical records
and see if anything matches
Timothy s wife.
Yeah, I know it s another
country!
Just talk to Joan,
I have a hunch here,
I need you to do everything
you can.
Okay. Thanks.
What kind of pie they got today?
Cherry.
Great!
I'll go get some pie.
Thank you.
Your hunch was correct!
Locke took his wife for
treatment eight times
in the last six months.
Everything from a cracked rib
to a collapsed eye socket.
I ve sent over copies.
s... I'm the only other oe
who has a copy.
We keep this between you and
I until we have to disclose.
I spoke to Judge Roberts...
she let me expedite the motion
for retrial this afternoon.
Great!
What about Child Protective
Services?
Well... with a retrial filed,
he's no longer eligible for custody.
Thank God.
This is the smoking gun
we needed.
Girl, good job!
Brown?
Are you there?
Dang reception.
And... send!
That should help Carla s case.
Hey. You're quiet.
What is it, your vegan diet
or you just miss your friends?
I m fine.
I'm done my...
Hold on a second.
Wait here.
Who is it?
It s a reporter.
Can you just stay in here?
I don t want you being involved.
I m on vacation!
If you stonewall me,
I'll only have his side.
And what side is that?
Mr. Locke is a loving father
who wants to see his children.
Who s also been charged
with murder.
What murder?
You have no proof, at least
none that we ve seen.
Many believe you re on
a personal vendetta
to keep him from his family
because of what happened to you
when you were a kid.
And what happened to me
when I was a kid?
Um... off the record...
I ve seen all your files.
Your father abused your mother.
Maybe you were abused
as a child as well?
Your sister most certainly...
How dare you.
Get out of here.
Did you get the slap?
It s our lead story.
Mom! Those Krav Maga classes
really paid off!
We re going home.
No, I m helping Laura tomorrow
with one of her classes.
What class?
I'm proofreading some
cover letters and resumes.
Then we re leaving Sunday.
Mom, I really like it here.
Paige, I don t!
Okay, well you always
want things your way.
No, that s not it!
I'm... I'm the parent,
you re the kid.
Well sometimes I wonder
if that's true.
In what some are calling
a personal vendetta
by District Attorney
Yasmine Winters,
further charges have been
filed against Timothy Locke.
Earlier today, I had an
encounter with Ms. Winters
where she proceeded
to slap me.
We go to that footage now.
We re clear.
Thirty seconds.
This is Karl.
What? What?
Yeah, hold on.
I ve got to go.
We re back.
It has just been brought
to my attention
that District Attorney Joan
Brown has been murdered.
So far we've heard that
it's been a car fire
but that s all the information
we have at this moment.
Please stay with us and
we'll keep you up to date
on that developing story.
This is Karl Weathers,
KPPQ News.
Mom?
Yes?
I m sorry.
Oh, it s okay.
The guy you took to court...
did he do this?
I think so.
He really deserves to be locked
up, doesn't he?
For a really long time.
I'll get that.
Wait right here.
Oh my God, are you okay?
No.
My boss is dead.
Are you kidding me?
Hi Peter.
Hi Paige.
What did you bring?
Um... why don't you
check it out?
Come in.
These are so good.
Well, there s plenty more.
Um... I'm sorry.
Any idea who might ve
done this?
Well... she was the D.A.
for 15 years
so, um... she made a lot
of enemies.
My mom used to make cherry pie.
Yas! Save some room
for ice cream.
Hey Princess!
Daddy got you something.
A pony!
That s right, Mr. Pony!
Do you like it?
Yeah!
Guess what?
I got you something else.
Do you want to go see it?
Yeah!
Mom... look what I found.
Oh my God, it s my pony!
This was my favourite
stuffed animal growing up.
Oh, I brought it everywhere.
Well who got it for you?
I don t know.
I don t remember.
Attorney Yasmine Winters...
further charges have been
filed against Timothy Locke.
Earlier today, I had an
encounter with Ms. Winters
where she proceeded to slap me.
We go to that footage now...
Your sister most certainly...
How dare you.
Get out of here.
Uh, we re back.
It has just been brought
to my attention
that District Attorney Joan
Brown has been murdered.
Yeah.
What the hell is going on?
I m cleaning things up
like you told me to!
The maid was one problem
but now the D.A.?
Yeah well she had the hospital
files from Canada, alright?
You told me that was
taken care of.
And it is! It is done!
here you little punk,
you talk to me that way...
or I'll walk away and
the next time you see me
you'll be in the execution
chamber.
Are there any more copies
of that file?
Yeah.
Where?
D.A. Yasmine Winters.
Damnit.
Okay I'll, uh...
I'll send someone.
No, no!
I m going to take care of it.
I ve got it, alright?
I can t cover for you.
Father...
figure it out, alright?
Because you're just as deep
in this as I am.
That s good son,
now you re learning.
Just get the medical report.
Leave no witnesses.
Obv...
as if I don't know that!!!!
Okay.
I can t wait to see Natalie.
I m so nervous.
It s okay.
I'll be with you the whole time.
Okay.
I m such a bad mom, I don t
really have anything for her.
Wait...
Paige left this
in the car.
It used to be mine, I don't
know if it's going to work
but it's yours
if you want it.
No, this is great.
She loves ponies.
Good.
Let s go get your daughter.
Okay.
Hello.
Let me guess,
all went well?
She called me Mommy
and she has a new tooth.
They're going to release Natalie to Carla
later this afternoon.
How did you do that?
The judge ordered it.
You know, until the trial s over
she s not a danger to her kid.
I m so happy for you!
It was Yasmine,
she did it.
You did it too.
Hey Mom, um, can we stay
one more week?
Why do you want to stay
all of the sudden?
Well I like it here.
Hmm... really.
I bet you and Aunt Laura are
conspiring to keep me here.
Well we think you and Peter
might just really like
each other.
Okay, Peter... no.
Listen, say your byes, we re
going to go home and pack.
Okay?
Oh, hey... this came
for you today.
What is it?
It's, uh...
it's a really, uh... important
present from Joan.
Um...
Um... can I go home
with Aunt Laura?
Of course, yes.
I have to go.
Congratulations.
See you later.
Bye.
She s the best.
She s pretty awesome.
I can t believe that.
Thank you!
Oh my gosh, I
can t believe it.
Hey!
Hey!
Officer, I have a
restraining order
against that man right there!
You stay away from me!
Laura!
You lied to me.
It was him in the car.
Where was he?
He was outside.
He was parked behind me,
it s like he s stalking me.
He wants to talk.
I can t believe this, I can t
believe that you lied to me.
Just hear him out.
You need to find peace,
it s okay.
No! No!
The only thing I need is to
get the hell away from him
and you.
Paige!
Yasmine!
Paige, come on.
Get your stuff, we re going.
We re going right now.
He s a different person,
Yas.
We re going, now!
Get your stuff.
I'll bring her home
when she's done.
I don t want her out there
with him out there
and I don't want her
with you.
Mom, I m fine,
I m helping Carla.
Fine. We just, we
have to go now.
I'll bring her home
when she s done.
Look... I got Carla
her kid back.
Our debt is paid.
You bring Paige home.
We re leaving tonight.
Yas...
You stay the hell away
from me!
I was just...
I have a restraining order.
One call to the cops
and you re in jail again.
Yasmine... please, let me make up
for the things that I ve done.
Look, I know that I wasn t good
to your mother or you girls.
Look, I had a drinking problem
and I know it doesn't make
any excuses at all
but I couldn't control it.
But I m clean now,
five years.
You beat my mother until she
couldn t take it anymore.
And I have to live with that
guilt every day of my life.
You should!
Leave.
Now, or I'll call the cops.
Leave!
Mom!
Paige, I don t want you
everywhere near him.
I ve already met my grandfather.
How?
Aunt Laura.
Don t blame your sister.
I begged her to let me meet
Paige.
Stay far away from us!
Dad!
Look, Yas...
I would take it back
if I could.
You can t!
Yasmine, stop!
Mom, just talk to your dad.
I don t have a father.
I can t believe you.
Don t ever come near us
again, ever.
You need help!
Laura, don t you give me that!
You did this, I didn t want
any of it!
Why can t you just
be reasonable?
We re leaving now.
But Mom...
No! Now.
Yasmine, are you okay?
Peter, I m so sorry,
not right now.
We re going back
to the city now.
What happened?
Jack.
Alright, maybe I should go
talk to her.
No.
I ve done enough damage
for one day.
I'll let her cool off,
I'll put away my groceries
and then I'll stop by. Okay?
I'll help.
Paige, you go back.
Okay, I'll see you later.
I thought we had to pack.
Now we re all one happy family.
Paige, do exactly as he says.
And I say sit down.
Everything okay?
Yeah, I think so.
Did you know that I m the father
of two young girls
who might never see
their daddy again
because of your mother?
You deserve it.
Paige, don t talk to him.
Yes Paige, don t talk to him!
What do you want?
The medical reports.
I don t know what
you re talking about.
Lie to me again
and next time
it's not going to be
too pleasant.
Yeah?
You are only making
this worse for yourself.
Everyone s so nalve!
Like I don t have a plan?
I got a plan!
Step one...
find the medical reports.
Step two... I want you to feel
how much it hurts
to know you re never going
to see your child again.
If you so much as lay a...
You'll what?
You'll what?
Damnit! Damnit!
Last time, where
are the medical reports?
Go to hell!
They could be
in her bag!
Good girl.
Yasmine...
let me explain
something to you.
I m going to hurt your daughter
very badly
if you don t tell me
where that bag is.
In the car.
Good.
Good.
And then he just...
I should've...
I should've warned her but I...
I feel like...
No, no, no, no, no!
Paige!
You re going to calmly go
outside and get your aunt.
No, no I'll go.
You! Shut... up!
Okay.
Go on, Paige.
It s okay.
This whole thing...
so much resentment
and anger and...
Aunt... Aunt Laura?
Yes?
Can you come inside?
Mom wants to talk to you.
Okay sweetie, sure.
Go on, I'll go with you.
Hey!
Get back inside.
Move it, move it, let s go!
You sure?
Yeah, of course.
Okay, well has she mentioned
anything else to you?
No, no, nothing.
I really appreciate you
doing this.
Oh, anything I can do
to help.
What s going on?
Who are you?
Hello Auntie.
What are you doing
in my house?
Shut your trap.
Step two, give me the keys.
Fine.
Give me the keys!
You... you're going to go
to your mother s car
and get me that bag.
It s in the backseat,
okay sweetie?
Okay.
Let s go.
Don t touch her!
Is he okay?
Move it!
Move it!
He'll be okay.
Okay.
It s okay.
Just let me, let me help her.
Stay there.
Come on!
Hey, hey Princess!
Daddy got you something.
A pony!
That s right, Mr. Pony.
Do you like it?
Yeah!
Guess what?
I got you something else.
Do you want to go see it?
Yeah!
Daddy, it s a new swing!
Yeah, it is!
Do you like it?
Yeah!
Now what about pony?
Yeah!
Do you want me to give you
a push?
Yeah!
Here we go.
Is that high enough?
No!
You want to go higher?
Yeah!
What about pony?
Yeah.
Just get to the car, jeez!
Hey Yas...
Come on, hurry up!
Mom!
Peter, wake up!
Peter, wake up!
Peter! Peter!
Where s your cell phone?
It s over.
What you kill me now
and then what?
Well at least I get to go
to jail with a smile!
Paige, come here.
That s my daughter!
Dad!
Grandpa!
Dad!
Paige, get down!
Yasmine!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad.
Please... my father's been shot!
Stay still, stay still.
Dad.
Yasmine... Yasmine, I'm sorry.
It s okay Dad,
I m right here.
I m right here.
I wanted every day
to be special but I...
Grandpa, hang on.
It s enough.
I m so sorry.
It s okay.
It s okay.
It's okay, it's okay...
it s enough, it s enough.
It s okay.
Dad!
It's okay.
Jack.
Dad?
Oh God... Oh my God.
My dad surprised us
with a tent.
Aw, that s so cool!
Yeah, it was really cool.
It was the latest that
I ever stayed up.
Thank you.
You know, um...
I never remembered
that it was...
that it was dad...
that gave me
that stuffed pony.
There was a lot of things I
couldn t remember either.
A pony!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Daddy, it s a new swing!
Yeah it is.
Do you like it?
Yeah.
Now what about pony?
Yeah!
Do you want me to give you
a push?
Yeah!
Here we go.
Is that high enough?
No!
You want to go higher?
Yeah!
What about pony?
Yeah.
Okay, here we go.
As high as the branches?
Yeah.
Laura, come on over,
give it a push.
Come on, Ma!
She wants to go as high
as the branches.
Alright.
Whee!
Good girl.
Whee!
You're so cute, look
at your little nose.
Aw, Mom...
Look at you.
You guys were so happy.
Look.
Hey, hey... look who I found.
Hey.
Oh my gosh!
I m so sorry, I came as soon
as I could.
I baked you some cookies,
they re chocolate chip.
That s your favourite, right?
Yeah.
She looks beautiful.
Thanks, it s so amazing to
have her back in my arms again.
I never want to let her go.
That s a nice horsey!
Neigh!
So, how long do you think
you guys are going to stay?
Uh, yeah... what do you think,
Mom?
Who knows what s going
to happen next.
Neigh!
Hey!
Officer, I have a restraining
order against that man,
right there!
You stay away from me!
I m so sick and tired of
listening to you bother me...
Jack, I m just asking you
to help out a little...
When I come home, I
want to have a drink,
I don t want to listen
to any of this crap.
No, I'm not...
You understand me? I said n.
Jack, please!
Is that crystal clear to you?
And where are the girls?
Jack, calm down!
Who told the girls they could
leave this house?
Calm down, alright?
I made it crystal clear I wantd
them to clean their room
before they went out
for ice cream.
They haven t done anything
wrong, okay?
Now where are they?
Jack!
You let them walk where?
Jack, it was just for ice cream.
Princess...
Hey, come give Daddy
a big hug.
Come here!
Daddy just won a big case.
Come here Princess,
give me a hug.
Let her go!
You shut up.
You know, you re
just like your mother.
Jack, leave them alone!
Come on, girls.
Get back over here.
Hey!
Don t you walk away from me,
get over here.
Get over here!
Get back here, girls.
Alright, come on.
Get back here, now!
You get in your room, okay?
Get in your room, okay?
Jack, you need to leave
them alone.
Leave them alone... why
would I leave them alone?
Those are my girls?
You re scaring them.
I'm scaring them...
Am I scaring you girls, huh?
Am I scaring you?
Jack, you need to...
You get in your rooms,
okay?
Don t you turn your back
on me.
Mom!
Do you swear to tell
the whole truth,
so help you God?
Yes, I do.
Mr. Locke...
Where were you
on December 5th?
I was with my father
at a charity event.
And would you mind telling
the court who your father is?
Why? I don't see...
My father is Governor
Barry Locke.
What time did
you guys get home?
It was, uh, it was
around 11:00 P.M.
And you have evidence
to corroborate that?
A security camera saw my father
and I leave the event.
Uh, that evidence
has been submitted.
Yes it has, but that security
camera has you leaving at, uh...
9:35.
We went and had dinner on
the way back from the event.
He s corroborated my story.
Yes, why don t you just tell me
what happened
when you got home?
I, uh... I heard yelling
coming from the house.
And... I went in through
the garage and saw... a man...
at the top of the stairs
with my wife.
He was wearing a...
mask and holding a knife.
They struggled and, uh...
when I cried out...
When I cried out,
he pushed her and she fell
down the steps.
I ran over and I, and I...
and I tried to save her
but it was too late.
She, she...
she hit her head
on the floor.
I didn t know what to do.
Um... no, you didn't know
what to do.
You didn t know to call
the police.
You didn't do that
for another 45 minutes.
I went after the intruder.
Did you?
Yes.
Mr. Locke, there s no evidence
of an intruder.
There s no sign of forced entry
or footsteps around the house...
except yours.
And there s no fingerprints
inside the house,
there's really nothing...
except your bloody fingerprints
from when you moved
the body.
He exists!
An intruder pushed my wife
down the steps
and I watched her die.
D.A. Winters...
No more questions,
your honour.
Prosecution calls, um...
Roberta Flores...
Mr. Locke s, uh, maid.
I would never hurt my wife!
You ve got the wrong guy!
Mr. Locke, please step down.
My name is Roberta Flores.
I was, uh, Mr. and Miss Locke s
maid for five years.
And did you live with Mr. Locke?
I lived in the guest house.
I would also help
with the children.
And were you home
on December 5th?
Yes.
I was there.
You keep looking
at the defendant, Ms. Flores...
does he scare you?
No, ma am.
I wasn t looking at Mr. Locke.
Hi Princess.
Continue D.A. Winters.
Yes, um... sorry, just...
um...
D.A. Winters...
Yes, um, I need a second.
Ms. Flores, um...
I'm sorry,
I need to interrupt.
Would jurors five, seven
and eleven please stand?
I have here an affidavit
from your lawyers
stating that you were contacted
outside this room
by a representative of the
District Attorney's office...
What?
What s going on?
I don t know.
Quiet!
The letter also states that
you were selected for this jury
in an effort by the D.A.
to secure a verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree
against the defendant.
Your honour, we did nothing
of the sort.
This is the first that
we've heard of this!
I have a sworn affidavit
from the jurors.
You did this!
D.A. Winters, that is enough.
You did this!
You paid them off!
Winters!
You re not going to get
away with this,
I know you killed your wife!
I m going to make you pay!
You re just like my father.
D.A. Winters, that is enough!
I declare this a mistrial,
court is adjourned.
The Governor has gone
on record stating that
Mr. Locke's innocence
will be substantiated.
Once again, shocking turn
of events as three jurors
have come forward
with a signed affidavit
saying that prosecutor Yasmine
Winters stacked the jury.
Would you turn that off please?
The Governor s office
has started
an independent investigation...
You can t beat yourself
up over this.
What did the doctor s say?
I m fine.
Look, I had a panic attack,
I hyperventilated.
I m almost finished filing
the new case
and the petition should keep
the kids in protective custody.
Winters...
And I have a meeting with
Locke s lawyers this afternoon,
and... Winters...
I m going to need to borrow a
couple people from research.
Maybe Sue, Rachel and...
Winters!
You re taking a leave.
What?
Look, it s already
been approved...
and it s not negotiable.
Go visit your sister.
What?
Now, really?
I should ve seen
the signs earlier.
My dad practically
killed my mother.
They said it was a suicide
but I know better.
It was a mistake!
I made a mistake and it s
not going to happen again.
Yasmine... did you talk
to the jurors?
How could you ask me that?
I have to.
No, I didn t.
The only thing his little jury
stunt did
was buy you more time to build
a case against him.
Hmm?
Now go home and don t tell
anyone where you re going.
Find some time for yourself
and Paige...
come back and win this case.
Copies of the proceedings.
Okay.
Let s eat.
Don t hang up!
I m coming,
I m coming.
Don t hang up!
Hello?
Hey sis...
it's Yasmine.
Hey!
I know it s last minute but,
um,
I was thinking about coming
to visit you.
It'll be like we were kids
again!
Two Winters sisters,
getting in trouble.
And Paige?
Of course, Paige.
But I have to warn you, this
isn t exactly the big city.
I don t have Wi-Fi.
How rustic.
It's okay, my phone
has a data plan.
I'll get everything ready.
Thanks sis.
Okay... can't wait.
I'll see you soon.
Okay. I'm excited.
Okay, bye!
See you guys later.
Hey.
Hey.
Are we leaving?
We re going on a holiday.
What, are you serious? When?
Now.
Sweet! No school.
Nuh uh, not exactly.
You re going to do
your courses online,
it s all worked out
with the principal.
Well how long are we
going for?
Two weeks.
Seriously? Homework
on a vacation?
Oh Paige, you re going
to have fun too.
And I, uh, packed
all your stuff.
Wait, did you bring
my boots?
No, you don t need your boots.
No, I want my boots.
Come on, let s go home.
We re not going home
for your boots, Paige!
Oh, come on!
It's just around the corner...
please?
No.
Mom...
Mmhmm?
I love you.
And that s very nice, Paige.
I love you too.
So, can we get my boots?
No.
We re getting my boots, right?
No, we re not.
Yeah we are.
Oh, I hit something,
be careful.
Okay, fine... only boots.
Hello! I just made cookies.
Oh my gosh.
Hi.
You re so big!
She looks just like Mom,
doesn t she sis?
Maybe a little around the eyes.
Yeah. More than the eyes.
Well let me help you
with your luggage.
Oh, this is it.
Well you two travelled light.
Mom s stricter than an airline.
Only one carryon allowed
and my boots.
Well when Laura
and I were young,
Mom always made sure we were
packed and ready to go.
Why?
Uh... I made cookies!
You already said that.
Uh huh, chocolate chip.
Oh, Peter! Peter!
Come here!
Come over here.
Come here, hi!
Hey, hey Laura.
This is Peter.
He s my very attractive,
single neighbour.
Oh, he s attractive alright.
Paige!
Peter, this is my sister
Yasmine.
Hi.
Hi... nice to meet you.
This is my daughter, Paige.
Hi Paige.
The District Attorney...
I read about you...
heard many good things
from Laura.
Lies... all lies.
Well, maybe one or two lies.
How about a chocolate chip
cookie?
Your favourite.
I can't, um, I'm off
to the office.
It s nice to finally meet you,
Yasmine.
Nice to meet you too, Peter.
Good day, uh...
What?
You like him.
Not in the way you think.
I think she s right.
His wife passed,
two years ago.
He s ready to move on.
I came here to clear my head
and to work, not to date.
Okay, okay.
Mmhmm.
Get up here, look at you!
Oh my gosh.
You fixed it.
I found it in the basement
after Dad moved away.
You should ve kept it buried.
Yeah, it's...
Mom, you look so young.
It was her eighth birthday.
I do look like your mom.
Agreeing with Aunt Laura s
not going to win you any points.
Yes it does!
Ah, well it'll also win you
going to pick vegetables out
of her vegetable garden and
maybe making some clothes.
Ha ha ha, very funny!
Come on, let's go unpack.
I got work to do.
You re on vacation!
Only in spirit.
Did she really bring work?
Timothy Locke,
she s obsessed.
I told you to keep
the garage door locked.
You re hurting me.
They were inside of my car.
Let go of me!
Yasmine, you get over here.
I saw the news reports,
looks like a very tough case.
Did he really kill his wife?
Yes, yes he did.
The worst part is though
he has these two kids...
and if I don t get him
behind bars,
then he s going to have custody
of them and I can t have that.
I can't...
Still fighting
the good fight?
Yeah, well you too.
It s a fair trade.
Hmm...
Mom, I don't have
any bars.
Uh, turn on your roaming,
I bought a data plan.
I m going to get dinner
from the garden.
Paige, want to help?
Two bars, thank you God.
It s going to be
squash spaghetti.
I m talking to a couple
of tech junkies.
Is that a phone?
I think so.
Well... aren't you going
to answer it?
We'll let it go to voicemail.
I don t think that thing
has voicemail.
Hello, Winters residence...
Yasmine speaking.
Hello?
Hello?
I think this thing is broken.
Hello?
Yasmine...
Yas, it s your dad.
Yasmine, please talk to me.
Mom?
Mom?
Aunt Laura, come quick!
Yasmine...
Mom... Mom.
Yasmine, I just want to talk.
It s me, Dad.
Yasmine, are you there?
You can t ignore me forever!
Tell Laura I called.
Hi.
You fainted.
Not so fast.
Here... just follow
my finger and...
I m fine.
I m okay, thank you.
Mom, you answered the phone
and then just collapsed.
I m sorry if I scared you,
sweetie.
Scared me?
You terrified me.
I m sorry.
It was him...
on the phone.
Why is he calling here?
I wanted to tell you...
Tell me what?
You need to rest, seriously.
Doctor s orders.
Doctor, who...
you re a doctor?
Yes, that s what my business
card reads as...
Doctor Peter Sorensen.
Thank you, very much
but I, um,
I need a couple moments
with my sister.
Thank you.
Okay... hey Paige, um,
why don't we go make some
hot chocolate in the kitchen?
Are you sure you're okay,
Mom?
Yes sweetie, I m totally fine.
You talked to our father?
The man who killed our mom.
He didn t kill her.
Maybe not directly...
He deserves another chance.
He doesn t deserve
another chance, Laura.
Are you out of your mind?
He called me six months ago
and he wanted to talk.
What should I have done?
Hung up!
He s changed, Yasmine.
People like that don t change!
He asked about you.
I don t believe this.
I don t believe you.
I should never have come back.
I saw what he did to you.
Yes... and I forgive him.
Well I don t!
We're leaving... now.
Yasmine... listen to me.
Don't you feel the hate
you carry inside?
Coming here is the universe
telling you to let go.
The thing that happened
in the courtroom,
Yas... surely you see this.
This is the universe telling me
my sister is off her rocker!
For Paige s sake, you
need to face your past,
to stay a couple of days.
We can talk this through.
There s nothing to talk through.
There is.
When you left... I stayed
in this house.
Mom's house.
Our home.
Alone.
Just me... and a whole
lot of anger.
I had to change here
to find peace.
I had to forgive him.
I had to forgive Mom...
and I did.
It s never too late.
You owe it to yourself
to at least try.
I m sorry Yasmine.
I... I didn't mean for you
to find out like...
It s okay, it s okay.
It s okay.
Hey, I don't think you
should be walking.
I m fine.
Really, I m fine.
Mom, Peter s a psychiatrist.
A shrink.
Peter Sorensen, doctor
of psychiatric medicine
at your service.
He helped me.
He can... he can help you.
No, no, no... I'm not here to
sell my professional services.
I just wanted to make sure
you were safe, that s all.
Thank you.
I should get going, um...
see you guys later.
Good night.
Good night.
He helped me...
and he can help you.
Laura! You're being pushy.
Yasmine, you fainted...
and that s not normal, okay?
PTSD and anxiety are real.
It took me almost two years
to let go of my pain.
It s liberating.
Hey!
Hey.
Are you sure
you're feeling okay?
Yes, I am.
I m much better.
Look Paige, I just, um...
haven't heard my father's voice
in so long
and it surprised me.
Mom... you know a voice shouldn't make you
want to faint.
I know it shouldn t,
but I m fine.
Okay?
Okay.
I don t know, maybe
Aunt Laura s right.
Maybe you do have post traumatic
stress disorder.
Will you stop listening
to your Aunt Laura?
She s not always right.
Hey troopers... I'm leaving
at 8:00 A.M. tomorrow
and I'd like you
both to come along.
I want to show you around.
Okay, for a couple of hours
but I just have to...
Perfect! See you
bright and early.
Well I guess I d better get
some sleep.
Yeah.
Good night.
Good night, Mom.
Child services has just denied
Timothy Locke custody
of his two young children
pending further review.
Mr. Locke!
Were you surprised that
you didn t get custody?
Mr. Locke?
I will get my children back
and prove my innocence,
no matter what D.A.
Winters thinks she has on me,
because it s false!
I did not kill my wife.
She should focus
on who actually did.
No one will stop me
from getting my kids back.
Chilling words from a man
innocent until proven guilty.
This is Karl Summers,
KPPQ News, Seattle.
Hey, it s Yasmine.
Did you see the Locke intervie?
Pretty sure that constitutes
a threat.
Technically no, but we did
receive death threats
at the office this morning.
The local police are
checking it out.
How s Ms. Flores?
She's scared...
I received a call
from the Governor.
He wants to review
the case personally.
I have to give him
Ms. Flores testimony.
That is not a good idea.
You re revealing our smoking
gun, you have to stall him.
You re putting her life
in danger!
If I don t, he'll pull the plug.
Yasmine?
Brown, I m so sorry,
I have to go.
I'll call you later.
Okay. Bye.
Are you not ready to go?
I'll be five minutes.
Hey... when did you start
eating vegetables.
The ones that Aunt Laura grows
just taste better.
Okay... five minutes.
Hurry up!
The building was recently
expanded into classrooms
for a myriad of reasons.
School?
Sort of... but mostly to teach
basic life skills
to people who didn't
graduate high school.
We host agricultural events...
anything to help the community.
As a social worker,
I have three goals...
education, independence
and employment.
I'm very happy
when one of my clients
no longer needs my assistance.
Um... Paige, honey...
do you mind giving us
a second?
Some of my cases
have private matters
I need your mom s help with.
Yeah.
Okay.
What?
Come with me.
Carla... this is my sister,
Yasmine.
Hey.
Hey.
Hello.
Carla has a few issues that I
thought you could help us with?
Six months ago, arrested in
connection with an armed robbery
that her boyfriend James
committed at a liquor store.
A man was shot by James.
Carla was in the car thinking
James was inside
buying a six pack.
Accessory after the fact?
I didn t know.
He drove away
and then when the cops showed up
at our apartment,
he forced me to lie about
his location.
Carla...
He d hurt me.
I didn t know what to do.
Don t come out Yas,
until I say.
Promise me!
It was an accident!
She s a little kid,
accidents happen.
Listen, I don t care.
Do you know how much
that shirt was?
Don t you judge me!
Jack!
Daddy, stop!
Did you just tell me to stop?
You think you can tell me what
to do, just like your mother?
Now where s Yas, huh?
She is going to clean up
this stain.
Where is she?
Please... leave her alone!
Yasmine?
Yep, uh...
Are you okay?
Mmhmm.
The public defender can help
you with this.
I have one, he s no good.
Carla, I m the one who puts
you in jail,
not the one who keeps you out.
Yasmine... she's innocent.
And if I thought
any differently,
I wouldn't have brought her
to you.
She s a good person.
The public defender messed up
pretty bad,
she s going to serve time.
I'm sorry, I can't get involved
in this.
Yeah, I knew
she wouldn t help.
I can t, Carla.
You know I have been trying
like really, really hard
to get my life
back together
but all the state wants to do
is just shove me inside
a jail cell.
You said that
she'd understand,
that she'd seen abuse...
but maybe, maybe she s forgot
what it feels like to be hurt.
I can t believe you ambushed
me like that, Laura.
I mean, you always do this
to me.
You always force me
into these situations.
Okay, maybe I lead you
into helping Carla but...
she needs a good lawyer
and you re the best.
Please!
She s a good person
who was abused.
She doesn t deserve this.
Fine.
I'll look it over.
But don t ever do this
to me again.
I m sorry.
I crossed a line.
Yes, you did.
I'm going to go get
a coffee.
Hi.
Uh, the usual, to go please.
Hi.
Hi.
Well I see you've found the best
coffee shop in town.
Yeah, it wasn t a coffee shop
when I lived here
but it s good.
May I?
Please.
You should try the pie.
They bake it fresh every day.
You know, I m not a pie person.
My mom made it all the time
growing up.
My favourite's cherry
but she always made apple
'cause...
well, it s complicated.
Complicated s okay.
You re good.
What?
I already want to tell you
my life story
and I've met you, what... twice?
You're just really...
Yes?
Comfortable.
Thank you.
Are you in a hurry?
Yeah, I had a patient of mine go
off their medication.
I'm heading to the state ward
to pay him a visit.
Better get going then.
I d rather stay here.
Well that would be nice.
Will you go to dinner with me?
Tonight.
Uh, there s not a lot of
restaurants in town
but if you like sushi...
Sushi?
Sushi is my favourite.
I can t believe they have
sushi here, that s great.
So it s a date.
Yes.
I'll pick you up at 7:00.
You re okay, you re okay.
Hey, hey!
Breathe deep... deep and slowly,
there you go.
There you go,
breathe deep and slowly.
You re okay.
I thought I saw...
Who?
My father.
Um... panic attacks...
you re having acute
panic attacks.
Usually brought on by stress
or traumatic events.
Oh my God, your pants.
It s fine, it s okay.
No, it s not okay!
I can get you another pair.
It s okay.
I ve got to go to work,
I m late.
I m really so sorry.
Yasmine...
it s okay.
Thanks.
Um... we're still on
for tonight?
Yeah.
I m looking forward to it.
Great.
Great.
Confidence.
It s about believing in
ourselves and our abilities.
And my sister, folks!
Yas...
I need to talk to you.
Right now?
I saw him.
Who?
Jack.
Let s take a ten minute break.
Dad retired to, uh, Texas.
Well if he drives a Wagoneer,
he is here, right now.
I m pretty sure I saw him.
Pretty sure?
Well I didn't... you know
I didn t get a great look
but it was him.
Did he look like he was
20 years older?
Or did he look like
how you remember him?
I don t know.
He looked like
how I remember him.
You re projecting, Yas.
I m projecting?
It s common.
I went through it.
When did you first see Dad?
Um... in the courtroom, he
was in the place of Timothy.
Your mind is trying to process
repressed traumatic memories,
it's normally at the root
of PTSD.
Maybe your case with
Timothy triggered it.
I learned a lot about this.
Oh, from Peter?
Yes, he's good...
And he helped.
You re not crazy.
Millions suffer from this.
There are ways to deal
with this.
Like a straight jacket?
Like confronting your past.
Laura... no.
The past is just that,
it's the past and that's
where it stays.
Thank you.
Yes, I understand.
What s going on?
I ought to take you out
and bury you myself
for bringing all this
onto our family.
You are pathetic!
I ve put things into motion.
Besides the maid,
is there any other evidence
that could, uh,
point this murder at you?
I... I...
I... I... what?
I don t know, okay!
I don t remember.
There s too much going on
right now.
You figure it out!
You figure it out unless
you want to rot in prison
for the rest of your life.
You figure it out and then
we'll clean this up.
God, you always were
a disappointment to me.
The only reason I m doing
this is for mother
and the grandkids.
Did you talk to social services
about my kids?
We re dealing with them
but they re not budging.
So... you figure out who or...
or what else could possibility
implicate you in this murder.
Could you do that?
Hi.
Hey.
Uh, she s not ready yet.
She had a hard day.
I know, um... well maybe
these will cheer her up.
No, but it s still a nice touch.
Hey!
You look nice.
Here, for you.
Thank you.
I can't remember the last time
someone brought me flowers.
Oh come on,
that can t be true!
Actually it is, Mom
doesn t go out much.
Go put these in some water.
Okay.
We should go.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Great, okay.
Okay.
Aye aye aye.
Have a good time you two!
Thank you.
You are welcome.
Oh my God.
You typically have a hard time
with liquids?
I don t know, is that a symptom?
Of?
Of I don t know, Peter.
I don't know whether
this is a dinner
or an attempt at a diagnosis
set up by my sister.
Simply a dinner
of my own accord.
I m onto you.
Thank you.
Um... how's your patient?
The mind's a complicated puzzle.
I give her medications
to regulate imbalances
and when I think I get it
just right...
the mind tricks her
into believing
she no longer needs
the treatment.
It's a cycle...
that I'm sure you find dull
compared to the bright lights
of a big city District Attorney.
I have my days.
You know...
Laura talks about you
all the time.
She probably tells you more
than she should.
You left here
when you were 17,
you put yourself through college
and then law school,
a single mother...
You re a fighter.
I work hard to get
what I want.
You always get
what you want?
I think the trick is wanting
what you re just about to get.
Hello?
Who s there?
And, uh... not long
after they found the cancer.
I m so sorry, that must ve
been horrible to go through.
Yeah, I felt helpless I wasn't
able to save her.
I was devastated.
It took me a long time
to heal.
I miss her but you know, um,
love is a funny thing.
You never know where
you're going to find it.
Paige is fantastic,
you are very lucky.
Yes I am, she never complains
about anything.
She s like you!
No, no... she, um,
acts like me
but she s a lot more like Laura.
Which I m happy about because
when she s like me, we fight.
Carla!
Hey.
What are you doing here?
You re out on bail.
Easy, easy... this doesn't
include you.
What are you doing?
This kind of behaviour isn t
going to get your daughter back
and it's not going to keep you
out of prison.
What s the point?
I may as well have a little fun
before I get locked up.
Listen, if you want me
to help you,
you have to stay sober.
Cause I ve looked at your
case and I think I can help you.
Really?
You re going to help me?
Yes.
But you do what I say or I walk.
Okay.
Okay.
Rule number one, get
sober and stay that way.
Thank you.
Okay. Go home and I'll call you
in the morning.
Seriously man?
Okay, party s over.
Step off, guys.
Time to step off.
See ya!
What a joke.
Wow. Good job.
Thanks.
You want to go get
a cup of coffee?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Did you see how I...
Sort of just got
in between there.
You did, you re like, you re
like a super hero, you know?
Sort of.
Aunt Laura?
Was my grandfather
really a monster?
No.
But for a time he was
very abusive.
He had a temper and
he was an alcoholic.
Did he kill my grandmother?
Not directly.
She slipped down the stairs
and broke her back.
They had her
on pain pills.
The coroner said it was
an accidental death
but Yas and I knew it
was her, um... way out.
But she left you and Mom
with him,
that s pretty brutal.
It wasn t for very long.
After the funeral, Dad pretty
much abandoned us
so we learned to sew up old
jeans, grow a decent carrot,
make due with very little.
We were quite the team until
your mom left for college.
How can you still talk to him?
He knows what he did
was wrong.
He asks about you.
Mom wouldn't want
to hear that.
He d like to meet you.
Mom would freak.
Your mom has to let go
of her pain.
You shouldn t inherit that.
She'll never change.
She will.
We just have to nudge her
a little bit.
Hmm?
They re back!
Mmhmm.
Well, that was an eventful
evening.
It was.
But you know, despite all the
drama I had a really good time.
Yeah, me too.
I really want to do this again.
So do I.
Hey!
So... how was it?
Great, Paige.
I'll see you later.
Yeah, good night.
I'll see you later, bye.
So, did you kiss him?
Stop it!
What?
Hello?
Someone hit the safe house
last night.
Ms Flores?
Dead.
Well, get a warrant!
Let s put Locke behind bars,
now!
Timothy was at the family
cabin on Vancouver Island.
There s nothing that connects
him directly to the hit.
Oh, come on!
You know he did it.
Of course he did it.
I m coming back.
No! Stay there, it's safer...
until I get a handle on
what s going on.
I'll call you later.
I m so excited.
This isn t going to be easy.
Your drug test isn t a pass.
Maybe it s a mistake.
You know sometimes,
sometimes they make mistakes.
There's several... positives.
Okay, I didn t do anything
since you took my case, so...
I believe you!
But in order for a jury
to see you as innocent,
you need to be a beacon
of light.
They need to see you
as the victim.
The hospital.
What about it?
There are records of the abuse
at the hospital.
The, uh, fractured skull,
broken arm, ribs...
Carla, why didn't you tell me
about this?
Because nobody else knows, even
the hospital think I m clumsy.
Okay. If I'm going to do this
you have to stop the lies,
okay?
Because you are throwing
away any chance of being free
and any chance of ever
having your daughter again.
I am sorry!
I m sorry and I m trying.
Try harder!
You need to dump
your friends,
quit the drugs and grow up!
Because this case
against you is real,
this prison time thing is real,
you re going to do real time!
Yasmine! That's enough.
She needs to know the truth.
What she needs is support.
You asked me to do this!
Well, this is how I m doing it.
Can I speak to you
in the hallway please?
How dare you talk to me
like that.
Do you ever think
for one second
that maybe she
shouldn't be a mother?
Maybe she was right,
maybe you ve forgotten
what it s like to be scared
of your life.
The hurt... what we did
to cover it up.
Laura, that doesn t matter.
Child services isn t going
to see it that way.
But they should!
Her daughter is the only person
she lives for,
it s the one thing
that keeps her going.
Well this is on you because
I don t belong here, okay?
I'm used to being
on the other side.
I m used to putting people
like her in jail.
You re right, I shouldn t have
asked you.
I shouldn't have forced you
into this, you're right.
I m sorry.
I just, uh, I need you to tell
Natalie that I'm sorry.
You know... you weren't
always so strong.
Don t forget who helped you.
Hey. Can I grab a coffee,
please?
Joan.
Child protective services
is going to release the kids
to Timothy on Friday.
Well he s still on the hook
for murder...
and it sounds like he s
still killing.
When s the next hearing date?
Four weeks.
Okay, I want you to call
Judge Roberts
and get him to fit us
in this week.
He owes us one.
Without the maid,
we have no case.
The forensics point to murder,
we'll just stand on that.
We both know that s not
strong enough.
Look... if I don't get the
defense something substantial,
they re going to motion
that we drop the case.
I m coming home.
I m coming home, we re going
to work on this together.
No! Stay there, that's an order.
Yas... we think whoever
killed Ms. Flores
might be looking for you.
What would make you
think that?
We got a call from
your landlord,
she s been looking for you.
Well the service here
is crap, Joan.
What s going on?
Someone broke into your home.
Paige, can I see you
for a moment out back?
Uh, yeah... sure.
Paige... this is your
grandfather, Jack Winters.
You look just like your mother.
Paige, he just wants
to say hi.
I just wanted to meet you,
I've heard so much about
you from Laura.
Please come one over here,
it s okay.
What are you afraid of?
Dad.
Just like Yasmine.
Dad.
I'll call you.
Yeah.
Yeah, just like old times.
Why was he here?
I thought you said he was
in Texas!
God, Mom is going to freak
when she finds out.
I mean, there s the
restraining order...
Paige...
And we can t say anything,
okay?
Because I m only 15.
Shh, Paige... he just wanted
to see his granddaughter.
Tell him I m sorry I ran.
I will.
And did they take anything else?
That s it?
The locks have been changed.
Okay, thank you very much.
Bye.
Thanks.
Is everything okay?
Well, my key witness is dead
and someone broke into my house.
Pissed off the wrong guy.
No, he s the right guy he s just
not going down without a fight.
Can you give me a second?
Mmhmm.
Hello?
Yes!
This is Yasmine Winters,
I m Carla Chambers lawyer.
I want to discuss my client s
visitation with her daughter.
I m aware the case
is unresolved
but that's not grounds
to withhold her visitation.
There are records of
the abuse at the hospital.
There are records of
the abuse at the hospital.
Okay, thanks. Bye.
I ve got him.
I m assuming you re talking
about Timothy.
Yes!
Vancouver Island.
Their family has a cabin there
and it s in Canada.
We wouldn't have gotten
the records
from the time they visited
the hospital because...
it s another country.
I need to make one
more phone call.
Do your thing.
Yeah, it s me.
Okay, I need you to do
something for me.
I need you to check all the
hospitals on Vancouver Island
for their medical records
and see if anything matches
Timothy s wife.
Yeah, I know it s another
country!
Just talk to Joan,
I have a hunch here,
I need you to do everything
you can.
Okay. Thanks.
What kind of pie they got today?
Cherry.
Great!
I'll go get some pie.
Thank you.
Your hunch was correct!
Locke took his wife for
treatment eight times
in the last six months.
Everything from a cracked rib
to a collapsed eye socket.
I ve sent over copies.
s... I'm the only other oe
who has a copy.
We keep this between you and
I until we have to disclose.
I spoke to Judge Roberts...
she let me expedite the motion
for retrial this afternoon.
Great!
What about Child Protective
Services?
Well... with a retrial filed,
he's no longer eligible for custody.
Thank God.
This is the smoking gun
we needed.
Girl, good job!
Brown?
Are you there?
Dang reception.
And... send!
That should help Carla s case.
Hey. You're quiet.
What is it, your vegan diet
or you just miss your friends?
I m fine.
I'm done my...
Hold on a second.
Wait here.
Who is it?
It s a reporter.
Can you just stay in here?
I don t want you being involved.
I m on vacation!
If you stonewall me,
I'll only have his side.
And what side is that?
Mr. Locke is a loving father
who wants to see his children.
Who s also been charged
with murder.
What murder?
You have no proof, at least
none that we ve seen.
Many believe you re on
a personal vendetta
to keep him from his family
because of what happened to you
when you were a kid.
And what happened to me
when I was a kid?
Um... off the record...
I ve seen all your files.
Your father abused your mother.
Maybe you were abused
as a child as well?
Your sister most certainly...
How dare you.
Get out of here.
Did you get the slap?
It s our lead story.
Mom! Those Krav Maga classes
really paid off!
We re going home.
No, I m helping Laura tomorrow
with one of her classes.
What class?
I'm proofreading some
cover letters and resumes.
Then we re leaving Sunday.
Mom, I really like it here.
Paige, I don t!
Okay, well you always
want things your way.
No, that s not it!
I'm... I'm the parent,
you re the kid.
Well sometimes I wonder
if that's true.
In what some are calling
a personal vendetta
by District Attorney
Yasmine Winters,
further charges have been
filed against Timothy Locke.
Earlier today, I had an
encounter with Ms. Winters
where she proceeded
to slap me.
We go to that footage now.
We re clear.
Thirty seconds.
This is Karl.
What? What?
Yeah, hold on.
I ve got to go.
We re back.
It has just been brought
to my attention
that District Attorney Joan
Brown has been murdered.
So far we've heard that
it's been a car fire
but that s all the information
we have at this moment.
Please stay with us and
we'll keep you up to date
on that developing story.
This is Karl Weathers,
KPPQ News.
Mom?
Yes?
I m sorry.
Oh, it s okay.
The guy you took to court...
did he do this?
I think so.
He really deserves to be locked
up, doesn't he?
For a really long time.
I'll get that.
Wait right here.
Oh my God, are you okay?
No.
My boss is dead.
Are you kidding me?
Hi Peter.
Hi Paige.
What did you bring?
Um... why don't you
check it out?
Come in.
These are so good.
Well, there s plenty more.
Um... I'm sorry.
Any idea who might ve
done this?
Well... she was the D.A.
for 15 years
so, um... she made a lot
of enemies.
My mom used to make cherry pie.
Yas! Save some room
for ice cream.
Hey Princess!
Daddy got you something.
A pony!
That s right, Mr. Pony!
Do you like it?
Yeah!
Guess what?
I got you something else.
Do you want to go see it?
Yeah!
Mom... look what I found.
Oh my God, it s my pony!
This was my favourite
stuffed animal growing up.
Oh, I brought it everywhere.
Well who got it for you?
I don t know.
I don t remember.
Attorney Yasmine Winters...
further charges have been
filed against Timothy Locke.
Earlier today, I had an
encounter with Ms. Winters
where she proceeded to slap me.
We go to that footage now...
Your sister most certainly...
How dare you.
Get out of here.
Uh, we re back.
It has just been brought
to my attention
that District Attorney Joan
Brown has been murdered.
Yeah.
What the hell is going on?
I m cleaning things up
like you told me to!
The maid was one problem
but now the D.A.?
Yeah well she had the hospital
files from Canada, alright?
You told me that was
taken care of.
And it is! It is done!
here you little punk,
you talk to me that way...
or I'll walk away and
the next time you see me
you'll be in the execution
chamber.
Are there any more copies
of that file?
Yeah.
Where?
D.A. Yasmine Winters.
Damnit.
Okay I'll, uh...
I'll send someone.
No, no!
I m going to take care of it.
I ve got it, alright?
I can t cover for you.
Father...
figure it out, alright?
Because you're just as deep
in this as I am.
That s good son,
now you re learning.
Just get the medical report.
Leave no witnesses.
Obv...
as if I don't know that!!!!
Okay.
I can t wait to see Natalie.
I m so nervous.
It s okay.
I'll be with you the whole time.
Okay.
I m such a bad mom, I don t
really have anything for her.
Wait...
Paige left this
in the car.
It used to be mine, I don't
know if it's going to work
but it's yours
if you want it.
No, this is great.
She loves ponies.
Good.
Let s go get your daughter.
Okay.
Hello.
Let me guess,
all went well?
She called me Mommy
and she has a new tooth.
They're going to release Natalie to Carla
later this afternoon.
How did you do that?
The judge ordered it.
You know, until the trial s over
she s not a danger to her kid.
I m so happy for you!
It was Yasmine,
she did it.
You did it too.
Hey Mom, um, can we stay
one more week?
Why do you want to stay
all of the sudden?
Well I like it here.
Hmm... really.
I bet you and Aunt Laura are
conspiring to keep me here.
Well we think you and Peter
might just really like
each other.
Okay, Peter... no.
Listen, say your byes, we re
going to go home and pack.
Okay?
Oh, hey... this came
for you today.
What is it?
It's, uh...
it's a really, uh... important
present from Joan.
Um...
Um... can I go home
with Aunt Laura?
Of course, yes.
I have to go.
Congratulations.
See you later.
Bye.
She s the best.
She s pretty awesome.
I can t believe that.
Thank you!
Oh my gosh, I
can t believe it.
Hey!
Hey!
Officer, I have a
restraining order
against that man right there!
You stay away from me!
Laura!
You lied to me.
It was him in the car.
Where was he?
He was outside.
He was parked behind me,
it s like he s stalking me.
He wants to talk.
I can t believe this, I can t
believe that you lied to me.
Just hear him out.
You need to find peace,
it s okay.
No! No!
The only thing I need is to
get the hell away from him
and you.
Paige!
Yasmine!
Paige, come on.
Get your stuff, we re going.
We re going right now.
He s a different person,
Yas.
We re going, now!
Get your stuff.
I'll bring her home
when she's done.
I don t want her out there
with him out there
and I don't want her
with you.
Mom, I m fine,
I m helping Carla.
Fine. We just, we
have to go now.
I'll bring her home
when she s done.
Look... I got Carla
her kid back.
Our debt is paid.
You bring Paige home.
We re leaving tonight.
Yas...
You stay the hell away
from me!
I was just...
I have a restraining order.
One call to the cops
and you re in jail again.
Yasmine... please, let me make up
for the things that I ve done.
Look, I know that I wasn t good
to your mother or you girls.
Look, I had a drinking problem
and I know it doesn't make
any excuses at all
but I couldn't control it.
But I m clean now,
five years.
You beat my mother until she
couldn t take it anymore.
And I have to live with that
guilt every day of my life.
You should!
Leave.
Now, or I'll call the cops.
Leave!
Mom!
Paige, I don t want you
everywhere near him.
I ve already met my grandfather.
How?
Aunt Laura.
Don t blame your sister.
I begged her to let me meet
Paige.
Stay far away from us!
Dad!
Look, Yas...
I would take it back
if I could.
You can t!
Yasmine, stop!
Mom, just talk to your dad.
I don t have a father.
I can t believe you.
Don t ever come near us
again, ever.
You need help!
Laura, don t you give me that!
You did this, I didn t want
any of it!
Why can t you just
be reasonable?
We re leaving now.
But Mom...
No! Now.
Yasmine, are you okay?
Peter, I m so sorry,
not right now.
We re going back
to the city now.
What happened?
Jack.
Alright, maybe I should go
talk to her.
No.
I ve done enough damage
for one day.
I'll let her cool off,
I'll put away my groceries
and then I'll stop by. Okay?
I'll help.
Paige, you go back.
Okay, I'll see you later.
I thought we had to pack.
Now we re all one happy family.
Paige, do exactly as he says.
And I say sit down.
Everything okay?
Yeah, I think so.
Did you know that I m the father
of two young girls
who might never see
their daddy again
because of your mother?
You deserve it.
Paige, don t talk to him.
Yes Paige, don t talk to him!
What do you want?
The medical reports.
I don t know what
you re talking about.
Lie to me again
and next time
it's not going to be
too pleasant.
Yeah?
You are only making
this worse for yourself.
Everyone s so nalve!
Like I don t have a plan?
I got a plan!
Step one...
find the medical reports.
Step two... I want you to feel
how much it hurts
to know you re never going
to see your child again.
If you so much as lay a...
You'll what?
You'll what?
Damnit! Damnit!
Last time, where
are the medical reports?
Go to hell!
They could be
in her bag!
Good girl.
Yasmine...
let me explain
something to you.
I m going to hurt your daughter
very badly
if you don t tell me
where that bag is.
In the car.
Good.
Good.
And then he just...
I should've...
I should've warned her but I...
I feel like...
No, no, no, no, no!
Paige!
You re going to calmly go
outside and get your aunt.
No, no I'll go.
You! Shut... up!
Okay.
Go on, Paige.
It s okay.
This whole thing...
so much resentment
and anger and...
Aunt... Aunt Laura?
Yes?
Can you come inside?
Mom wants to talk to you.
Okay sweetie, sure.
Go on, I'll go with you.
Hey!
Get back inside.
Move it, move it, let s go!
You sure?
Yeah, of course.
Okay, well has she mentioned
anything else to you?
No, no, nothing.
I really appreciate you
doing this.
Oh, anything I can do
to help.
What s going on?
Who are you?
Hello Auntie.
What are you doing
in my house?
Shut your trap.
Step two, give me the keys.
Fine.
Give me the keys!
You... you're going to go
to your mother s car
and get me that bag.
It s in the backseat,
okay sweetie?
Okay.
Let s go.
Don t touch her!
Is he okay?
Move it!
Move it!
He'll be okay.
Okay.
It s okay.
Just let me, let me help her.
Stay there.
Come on!
Hey, hey Princess!
Daddy got you something.
A pony!
That s right, Mr. Pony.
Do you like it?
Yeah!
Guess what?
I got you something else.
Do you want to go see it?
Yeah!
Daddy, it s a new swing!
Yeah, it is!
Do you like it?
Yeah!
Now what about pony?
Yeah!
Do you want me to give you
a push?
Yeah!
Here we go.
Is that high enough?
No!
You want to go higher?
Yeah!
What about pony?
Yeah.
Just get to the car, jeez!
Hey Yas...
Come on, hurry up!
Mom!
Peter, wake up!
Peter, wake up!
Peter! Peter!
Where s your cell phone?
It s over.
What you kill me now
and then what?
Well at least I get to go
to jail with a smile!
Paige, come here.
That s my daughter!
Dad!
Grandpa!
Dad!
Paige, get down!
Yasmine!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad.
Please... my father's been shot!
Stay still, stay still.
Dad.
Yasmine... Yasmine, I'm sorry.
It s okay Dad,
I m right here.
I m right here.
I wanted every day
to be special but I...
Grandpa, hang on.
It s enough.
I m so sorry.
It s okay.
It s okay.
It's okay, it's okay...
it s enough, it s enough.
It s okay.
Dad!
It's okay.
Jack.
Dad?
Oh God... Oh my God.
My dad surprised us
with a tent.
Aw, that s so cool!
Yeah, it was really cool.
It was the latest that
I ever stayed up.
Thank you.
You know, um...
I never remembered
that it was...
that it was dad...
that gave me
that stuffed pony.
There was a lot of things I
couldn t remember either.
A pony!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Daddy, it s a new swing!
Yeah it is.
Do you like it?
Yeah.
Now what about pony?
Yeah!
Do you want me to give you
a push?
Yeah!
Here we go.
Is that high enough?
No!
You want to go higher?
Yeah!
What about pony?
Yeah.
Okay, here we go.
As high as the branches?
Yeah.
Laura, come on over,
give it a push.
Come on, Ma!
She wants to go as high
as the branches.
Alright.
Whee!
Good girl.
Whee!
You're so cute, look
at your little nose.
Aw, Mom...
Look at you.
You guys were so happy.
Look.
Hey, hey... look who I found.
Hey.
Oh my gosh!
I m so sorry, I came as soon
as I could.
I baked you some cookies,
they re chocolate chip.
That s your favourite, right?
Yeah.
She looks beautiful.
Thanks, it s so amazing to
have her back in my arms again.
I never want to let her go.
That s a nice horsey!
Neigh!
So, how long do you think
you guys are going to stay?
Uh, yeah... what do you think,
Mom?
Who knows what s going
to happen next.
Neigh!
