Millennium (1996–1999): Season 1, Episode 16 - Covenant - full transcript
Frank leaves on a business trip to Utah, where he has been asked to create a profile of William Garry, a man who has murdered his wife and three children. Garry has already been convicted, and now the prosecutor needs Frank's profile to show he deserves the death penalty. Garry, who has put up no defense and says himself that he deserves death, describes the killings in perfect detail, claiming he acted out on a rage that had been building up inside him for years. As Frank investigates the crime scene, however, an image appears of a killing done with absolute calm. Some piece of the puzzle is missing, but few involved in the investigation want to look for it.

[Whirring Stops]
[Children Chattering]
- [Coughs] HI, DAD.
- HI, DAD.
I, UH, BROUGHT
CHICKEN FROM SMALL'S.
I'M GONNA SKIP DINNER.
HOW'S GABE? WE COULDN'T
GET IN TO THE DOCTOR.
I BOUGHT COUGH
SYRUP AT THE PHARMACY.
[Click] [Whirring Stops]
- YOU SHOULD
COME TO DINNER, DAD.
- YOU GO ON IN, SON.
[Eerie Voices Whispering]
[Gasps] WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
[Telephone Ringing]
[Ring]
REILLY.
THIS IS DEPUTY
REILLY. CAN I HELP YOU?
I DID IT.
THEY'RE DEAD, ALL DEAD.
IN OGDEN, UTAH, THE
PROSECUTION IN THE CASE...
OF FORMER COUNTY
SHERIFF WILLIAM GARRY...
CONVICTED OF MURDERING
HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN...
IS EXPECTED TO PUSH HARD
FOR THE DEATH PENALTY.
COUNTY PROSECUTOR CALVIN SMITH
IS BRINGING IN A FORMER F.B.I. AGENT...
TO GIVE THE JURY A
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE...
OF THE MAN HE SAYS DOES NOT
DESERVE TO LIVE OUT HIS LIFE IN PRISON.
IN OTHER NEWS, DISASTER
STRIKES CLOSER TO HOME...
WHERE AN INTERCONTINENTAL GAS
LINE HAS ERUPTED IN THE EARLY HOURS.
CHARLIE HORVATH. SAY
HELLO TO FRANK BLACK.
HE'S THE MAN WHO'S GONNA CLOSE
THE BOOK ON MR. WILLIAM GARRY.
CHARLIE'S THE ASSISTANT
COUNTY PROSECUTOR.
HE DID A LOT OF GOOD
WORK ON THAT TRIAL.
WE APPRECIATE YOU
BEING HERE, MR. BLACK.
THIS TOWN NEEDS TO
GET PAST THIS THING.
THIS IS DIDI HIGGENS. SHE'S THE
ASSISTANT PATHOLOGIST TO THE M.E.
HE COULDN'T BE HERE
TODAY, BUT I ASSURE YOU...
DIDI IS WELL ACQUAINTED
WITH THE FACTS OF THIS CASE.
HOW DO YOU DO? HI.
FRANK, WE'RE ALL AWARE OF THE
IMPORTANCE OF WHAT IT IS THAT YOU DO.
IF THE JURY EVEN CONSIDERS
THAT IT WASN'T A COLD,
CALCULATED PREMEDITATED MURDER,
THEY WON'T VOTE
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE SOME
COURT OF APPEALS DOWN THE ROAD...
DOESN'T SET WILLIAM GARRY
FREE TO DO THIS AGAIN...
MAYBE TO SOME OTHER FAMILY.
DIDI, YOU WANNA RUN
THIS DOWN FOR FRANK?
WILLIAM GARRY'S FINGERPRINTS WERE
FOUND ON THIS. IT'S CALLED A SKEW CHISEL.
ONE MINUTE THE BOY'S SMILING AT HIS FATHER.
THE NEXT, HE'S GOT THAT IN HIS HEART.
MRS. GARRY HEARD THE COMMOTION.
CAME DOWNSTAIRS
AND SURPRISED GARRY.
SHE PUT UP A PROLONGED STRUGGLE.
A NUMBER OF DEFENSIVE
WOUNDS ON THE ARMS AND HANDS.
DEATH CAME WHEN HER CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
SHUT DOWN DUE TO OXYGEN DEPRIVATION...
CAUSED BY FOUR PUNCTURE
WOUNDS TO THE HEART.
THE LITTLE GIRL, MARY, WAS
IN HER ROOM IN THE BASEMENT.
EIGHT PUNCTURE WOUNDS
TO THE CHEST AREA.
GARRY THEN WENT UPSTAIRS TO
GABRIEL'S ROOM... THE YOUNGEST CHILD...
KILLED HIM TOO.
GARRY WRAPPED
GABRIEL IN A SHEET...
AND CARRIED HIM
DOWN TO THE BASEMENT.
WHERE HE WRAPPED THE OTHERS IN
SHEETS AND LAID THEM SIDE-BY-SIDE.
WE THINK HE SAT ON THE BASEMENT
STEPS FOR 15 OR 20 MINUTES...
BEFORE CALLING IT IN.
SHERIFF GARRY MUST'VE HAD A
LOT OF FRIENDS IN WEBER COUNTY.
NOBODY SAW THIS COMING?
WELL, EVERYBODY KNEW THAT
THEY WERE HAVING TROUBLE, BUT...
MY GOD, NO ONE KNEW THE
EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM.
- I'LL NEED ACCESS
TO THE CRIME SCENE.
- WHATEVER YOU NEED.
- COPIES OF COURT TRANSCRIPTS.
- DONE.
- C.S.I. PHOTOS
AND FORENSIC REPORTS.
- GOT THOSE RIGHT HERE.
I'LL ALSO NEED TO
SPEAK WITH GARRY. [Huffs]
GARRY'S ATTORNEY WILL NEVER
CONSENT TO YOU INTERVIEWING HIM,
BUT THERE'S A TAPE OF HIS
CONFESSION ON THE TABLE.
- THANKS.
- DON'T THANK ME. JUST BE
READY TO GO BY WEDNESDAY.
FRANK,
THE LAST THING THOSE CHILDREN SAW
BEFORE THEY SAW THE FACE OF GOD...
WAS THEIR FATHER'S FACE,
THE FACE OF A MURDERER.
I WANT WILLIAM GARRY
TO PAY FOR THAT.
[Whirring]
[Whirring Stops]
- YOU'RE FRANK BLACK?
- YEAH.
DEPUTY REILLY. I'M SUPPOSED
TO LET YOU IN THE HOUSE.
I'D LIKE TO SEE THE KITCHEN.
THERE WAS A NUMBER WRITTEN
ON THE WINDOW IN BLOOD. 1-2-8-1-5.
WHAT WAS MADE OF THAT?
NOTHING. NO ONE EVER
FIGURED OUT WHAT IT MEANT.
GARRY WROTE IT
AFTER THE MURDERS?
BILL SAYS HE REMEMBERS WRITING
IT, BUT HE DOESN'T REMEMBER WHY.
I KNOW CAL SMITH
CHECKED OUT ITS RELEVANCE
TO NUMEROLOGY, ASTROLOGY,
THAT SORT OF THING.
HOW MUCH BLOOD
WAS HERE ON THE RUG?
JUST WHAT WAS ON THE WINDOW.
THE MURDERS TOOK PLACE DOWNSTAIRS
AND IN THE LITTLE BOY'S ROOM.
HMM.
[Click]
[Recording, Garry] I CAME IN
FROM WORKING IN THE GARAGE.
I WAS TIRED. I
PUT IN A LONG DAY.
WILLIAM JR. WAS COMING
DOWN THE STAIRS.
HE DIDN'T SEE ME AT FIRST.
I THINK I THOUGHT I WAS
JUST SMACKING HIM...
TILL I REALIZED I HAD
THE CHISEL IN MY HAND...
AND THERE WAS BLOOD ALL
OVER ME AND... MY SON WAS DEAD.
MY WIFE CAME DOWN THE STAIRS.
SHE MUST'VE HEARD THE NOISE.
THERE WAS NO STOPPING NOW.
AFTER I FINISHED WITH MY WIFE, I
WENT INTO MY DAUGHTER'S ROOM.
MARY WAS AWAKE. THAT
MADE IT MORE DIFFICULT.
SHE COWERED ON HER BED, CRYING.
SHE DIDN'T FIGHT. SHE DIDN'T
FIGHT BACK OR TRY TO RUN AWAY.
IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I'D
EVER LAID A HAND ON HER.
I HAD TO GO UPSTAIRS
TO GABE'S ROOM.
I'M GRATEFUL NOW HE DIDN'T WAKE
UP TO SEE ME LOOKING DOWN AT HIM.
HE WAS ONLY FIVE YEARS OLD.
[Toy Squeaks] ONCE YOU
START SOMETHING LIKE THIS,
YOU SOMEHOW HAVE TO FINISH.
[Thunder Rumbling]
- HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN GARRY?
- TWELVE YEARS. HE BROUGHT ME
TO THE DEPARTMENT.
YOU LIKED HIM?
I RESPECTED WILLIAM GARRY MORE
THAN ANY MAN I'VE EVER KNOWN.
WHAT ABOUT MRS. GARRY?
YOU FRIENDS WITH HER?
I WAS CLOSE WITH
THE WHOLE FAMILY.
WHY DO YOU THINK
HE DID THESE THINGS?
TO BE HONEST, MR. BLACK,
I DON'T THINK ABOUT THAT.
NO USE STIRRING UP FEELINGS.
[Thunder Continues]
[Telephone Rings]
[Ring]
- HELLO?
- HI, DADDY.
HOW'S MY GIRL? TIRED, BUT I
WANT TO SAY GOOD NIGHT TO YOU.
GOOD NIGHT. TAKING
CARE OF MOMMY?
YEP. OKAY. SWEET DREAMS.
HI. HOW DID IT GO TODAY?
WELL... WHAT IS IT?
I JUST FINISHED READING GARRY'S
CONFESSION. IT'S VERY STRANGE.
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
- IN MOST MURDER CONFESSIONS...
THERE'S LOTS OF LITTLE
LIES, INCONSISTENCIES,
THINGS NOT REMEMBERED,
HALF-TRUTHS...
AN ATTEMPT TO MINIMIZE THE
BRUTALITY OF THE MURDERS.
NONE OF THAT'S HERE. HE'S
ACCOUNTED FOR EVERYTHING.
HE WAS A POLICE OFFICER. HE
KNOWS ABOUT CRIME SCENES.
YES, BUT FOR A MURDERER TO HAVE THIS
KIND OF CLARITY OF TRUTH IS VERY STRANGE.
SO ALL THAT TRUTH
ADDS UP TO A LIE?
I DON'T KNOW. I LOVE YOU.
ME TOO.
BYE. BYE-BYE.
FRANK BLACK?
MICHAEL SLATTERY.
THANKS FOR MEETING ME.
JUST COFFEE, PLEASE.
BLACK. OKAY. YOU GOT IT.
LISTEN, I WANNA GET
THIS ON THE RECORD HERE.
I MAY HAVE BEEN HANDED A CASE
THAT I CAN'T WIN, BUT I'M NOT AN IDIOT.
I'M NOT GONNA TURN
MY CLIENT OVER TO YOU.
I'M NOT HERE TO
CONDEMN YOUR CLIENT.
I'M HERE TO DELIVER A
BEHAVIORAL PROFILE FOR A JURY.
THANK YOU. [Waitress] MM-HMM.
TELL ME ABOUT HIM.
ACTUALLY, THERE'S
NOTHING TO TELL.
THE MAN'S SAID TWO WORDS TO
ME IN FOUR MONTHS. "I'M GUILTY."
I READ THE COURT TRANSCRIPTS.
WHY DIDN'T YOU PLEAD
TEMPORARY INSANITY?
HE WOULDN'T LET ME. THE MAN
WANTS TO DIE, NEEDS TO DIE.
SEE, ACCORDING TO
GARRY'S RELIGIOUS BELIEFS,
FOR A MURDERER, A
SHEDDER OF BLOOD,
TO BE FORGIVEN BY GOD
AT THE TIME OF HIS DEATH,
HIS BLOOD MUST ALSO BE SHED.
DEATH BY FIRING SQUAD FORTUNATELY
ALLOWS FOR THIS DISPENSATION.
DID YOU EVER WONDER
ABOUT HIS BACKGROUND?
NO HISTORY OF VIOLENCE...
DEPARTMENTAL, DOMESTIC, ANY KIND.
THE GUY WAS AN EAGLE SCOUT.
BUT THE MAN CONFESSED AND THE
FACTS SUPPORT THE CONFESSION.
THERE'S NO OTHER SUSPECTS. HIS
FINGERPRINTS WERE ON THE WEAPON.
ALL THE FORENSIC
EVIDENCE POINTS TO HIM.
ALL I CAN FIGHT FOR
IS TO KEEP HIM ALIVE.
I'LL PROBABLY LOSE THAT.
YOU FOR OR AGAINST
IT... PERSONALLY, I MEAN.
- WHAT'S THAT?
- THE DEATH PENALTY.
SEE, FOR ME, IT'S REAL SIMPLE.
IF YOU LIKE THE IDEA OF
KILLING PEOPLE, YOU'RE FOR IT.
IF YOU HATE THE IDEA OF KILLING
PEOPLE, YOU'RE AGAINST IT.
POOR WILLIAM GARRY.
THE MAN JUST WANTS TO DIE
AND HE'S SADDLED WITH A LAWYER...
WHO'S THE ONLY MAN IN
TOWN WHO WANTS TO SAVE HIM.
WELL?
COME ON, FRANK. YOU WERE
CALLED HERE BY THE PROSECUTION.
YOU DON'T REALLY THINK THAT I
WOULD GIVE YOU ACCESS TO MY CLIENT.
AS I SAID, MY
RECOMMENDATIONS WILL NOT BE
PREJUDICED. I'M JUST
HERE TO FIND THE TRUTH.
[Birds Chirping]
THANK YOU FOR COMING, FRANK. THERE'S
SOME PEOPLE THAT WOULD LIKE TO MEET YOU.
MR. AND MRS. ANDERSON, THIS IS
FRANK BLACK, THE MAN I TOLD YOU ABOUT.
FRANK, MRS. GARRY'S PARENTS.
I'M VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
MR. SMITH SAYS YOU'RE
GOING TO HELP US WITH THIS.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS TO US...
THAT...
I... HAVE NIGHTMARES...
[Sobbing] OF MY DAUGHTER,
MY GRANDCHILDREN.
I SEE IT.
[Exhales Deeply]
[Muffled Sobs]
ALL MY LIFE, I'VE...
I'VE BEEN A FATHER,
A HUSBAND, A FARMER.
THAT'S BEEN THE
TRINITY OF MY LIFE.
I NO LONGER HAVE THAT.
WILLIAM GARRY IS TO BLAME.
IF YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, MR. BLACK,
YOU'LL MAKE SURE THAT HE
PAYS THE PRICE HE OUGHT TO PAY.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU
BOTH FOR COMING IN.
DID YOU ARRANGE
THAT FOR MY BENEFIT?
SHOULDN'T YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF THE
KIND OF GRIEF THIS MAN HAS WROUGHT?
FRANK, IN FLORIDA THERE ARE 376 INMATES
ON DEATH ROW WAITING FOR EXECUTION.
IN CALIFORNIA, THERE ARE 471.
SOME OF THESE CASES
GO BACK 14, 15 YEARS.
THE BLOOD DEBT IN THIS
STATE, MR. BLACK, IS NINE.
I DON'T MIND TELLING YOU I'M A
LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT YOU.
I'M MEETING DIDI HIGGENS AT THE CRIME
SCENE THIS AFTERNOON. I'VE GOT QUESTIONS.
THE TRIAL'S OVER, FRANK.
WHAT I NEED IS A PROFILE TO PUT THE
SON OF A BITCH IN FRONT OF A FIRING SQUAD.
PUT ME BEFORE THE JURY NOW
AND I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
WILLIAM GARRY MURDERED
HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN.
HE CONFESSED TO IT.
MEET WITH DIDI, EXHAUST
YOUR QUESTIONS,
BUT PLEASE GIVE ME THE PROFILE
I NEED BY WEDNESDAY MORNING.
- I UNDERSTAND YOU MET
WITH MR. GARRY'S LAWYER.
- YES.
- MIND IF I ASK WHY?
- HE GAVE ME PERMISSION
TO INTERVIEW MR. GARRY.
[Garry] I BOUGHT THE ELEPHANT
FOR HIM THE DAY HE WAS BORN.
[Floor Creaking]
THERE WAS NO PAIN, NO SORROW...
JUST A KIND OF DULLNESS
AFTER THE ANGER.
AND THE NEED TO FINISH IT.
YOU DIDN'T FEEL ANY OTHER
EMOTIONS DURING THE KILLINGS?
JUST RAGE.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT NOW?
I'M SORRY. I FEEL SORRY.
WHY DIDN'T YOU LET YOUR LAWYER
PLEAD TEMPORARY INSANITY?
I WASN'T INSANE.
I WAS ANGRY. I WAS IN A RAGE.
I LET THINGS BUILD
UP. SHAME ON ME.
MOST MURDERERS
FIGHT THE CHARGES.
MR. BLACK, I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR WHAT I'VE DONE.
A MAN MAKES A MISTAKE,
HE SHOULD PAY FOR IT.
I WAS A PEACE
OFFICER FOR 17 YEARS.
NOW IF I ARRESTED SOMEBODY
WHO DID SOMETHING LIKE THIS,
I WOULD'VE FOUGHT LIKE
HELL TO HAVE THEM EXECUTED.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
WOULD'VE BEEN RIGHT.
YOU WANNA TELL
ME WHY YOU DID IT?
I THOUGHT ABOUT
IT FOR A LONG TIME.
I FANTASIZED ABOUT IT.
DO YOU HAVE A WIFE AND FAMILY?
- WELL, THEN YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
- NO.
I DON'T.
THERE WERE MONEY PROBLEMS.
BILLS AND MORE BILLS.
THINGS WERE NO
BETTER WITH MY WIFE.
IT GOT TO THE POINT
WHERE I HATED HER.
AND SHE HATED ME.
YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO
SCREAM IN SILENCE 365 DAYS A YEAR?
I WENT IN THERE THAT NIGHT TO
WIPE OUT MY FAMILY, MR. BLACK,
BECAUSE IT WAS THE ONLY WAY.
THE ONLY WAY.
I FOUND THIS IN YOUR GARAGE.
IT WAS YOUR WIFE'S BIRTHDAY
THE NEXT DAY, WASN'T IT?
THAT'S RIGHT. SHE LIKED ANGELS.
SO YOU USE YOUR HANDS TO
MAKE A GIFT FOR YOUR WIFE...
AND THOSE SAME HANDS
SLAUGHTER HER AND THE CHILDREN?
AND YOU WROTE THIS?
WHY?
WHAT YOU HAVE IN
YOUR HANDS IS A LIE.
FASHION AN ANGEL FOR YOUR WIFE'S
BIRTHDAY AND THEN KILL THE FAMILY.
HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.
HE SAYS HE FELT ANGER AND RAGE.
THE STAGING OF THE BODIES
INDICATES THE KILLER WAS CALM.
GARRY SAYS HE KILLED
WILLIAM JR. HERE ON THE STAIRS.
THAT'S CORRECT. THERE WERE TRACES
OF BROWN AND BEIGE CARPET FIBERS...
ON THE BOY'S PAJAMAS.
BUT GARRY ALSO SAYS HE KILLED HIS
YOUNGEST, GABE, IN THE BEDROOM...
[Sighs] AND CARRIED HIM DOWN
HERE WRAPPED IN SHEETS.
THAT'S CORRECT. THE STAINS ON
THE SHEET THE BOY WAS WRAPPED IN...
MATCH THE STAINS ON
THE MATTRESS UPSTAIRS.
BUT THERE WERE TRACES OF BROWN
AND BEIGE FIBER FOUND ON THE SHEET.
DR. GELLER'S FEELING WAS THAT GABRIEL
WAS DRAGGED DOWN THE STAIRS, NOT CARRIED.
- GARRY SAID HE CARRIED HIM.
- IT'S AN INCONSISTENCY NOT
UNCOMMON IN MURDER CONFESSIONS.
- YOU AGREED WITH THAT?
- I DIDN'T AGREE OR DISAGREE.
[Echoing] WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
THE WOUNDS ON MRS.
GARRY'S HANDS. YES?
THERE ARE CUTS
ALONG THE FINGERS...
ACROSS THE PALM
OF THE RIGHT HAND.
- THAT'S CORRECT.
- THEY'RE DEFENSIVE?
- I BELIEVE THAT'S
HOW THEY WERE DESCRIBED.
- YOU DIDN'T EXAMINE THEM?
NO. I WAS THE ASSISTANT.
MRS. GARRY'S BODY
WAS FOUND HERE.
WE KNOW THERE WAS INCONTINENCE,
BUT NO URINE WAS
FOUND ON THE CARPETING.
IN DR. GELLER'S OPINION, THE URINE SIMPLY
DIDN'T SEEP THROUGH TO THE CARPETING.
ACCORDING TO GARY'S
CONFESSION, HE WROTE THIS
IN BLOOD AFTER KILLING
HER AND THE CHILDREN,
WHICH MEANS HE WALKED
IN HERE COVERED IN BLOOD..
AFTER KILLING HIS FAMILY,
LEANED OVER TO THE WINDOW
AND WROTE THE NUMBERS...
AND, UM, LEFT NO
BLOOD ANYWHERE ELSE.
NOT EVEN FOOTPRINTS
ON A WHITE CARPET?
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SAYING.
I THINK IF YOU ANALYZE THIS CARPET,
YOU'LL FIND IT WAS SHAMPOOED.
YOU'LL ALSO FIND URINE TRACES...
MRS. GARRY'S.
SHE DIED RIGHT HERE,
NOT DOWNSTAIRS.
ARE YOU SAYING SOMEONE'S
TAMPERED WITH THE EVIDENCE?
I'M SUGGESTING SOMEONE ELSE
COMMITTED THESE MURDERS.
[Engine Starts]
MR. BLACK, AS I
TOLD MR. SLATTERY,
I CAN'T GET INTO THE SPECIFICS OF
WHY THE GARRYS CAME TO SEE ME.
THE WOMAN IS DEAD.
THAT'S IRRELEVANT.
AN INNOCENT MAN COULD DIE.
WHO, MR. GARRY? A MAN WHO SLAUGHTERS
HIS CHILDREN AND STABS HIS WIFE FOUR TIMES?
I'D SAY HE DESERVES TO DIE.
WHAT IF HE DIDN'T DO IT?
ASK A QUESTION,
MAKE IT SPECIFIC,
AND IF I CAN ANSWER IT, I WILL.
WAS MRS. GARRY HAVING AN
AFFAIR WITH DEPUTY KEVIN REILLY?
MRS. GARRY WAS A FAITHFUL WIFE.
SHE WAS A WOMAN WHO NEEDED TO TALK
OPENLY ABOUT AN EMOTIONAL PROBLEM...
THAT WAS TEARING AT THE
VERY FABRIC OF HER SOUL.
NOW, ON THE OTHER HAND,
DON'T ASK ME ABOUT MR. GARRY.
DID THEY TALK TO YOU
ABOUT HAVING ANOTHER CHILD?
I CAN'T ANSWER THAT.
THIS IS A RECEIPT FROM
THE M&W PHARMACY.
MRS. GARRY WAS THERE THAT NIGHT.
IT'S FOR ONE BOTTLE
OF COLD SYRUP...
AND A HOME PREGNANCY TEST.
IS YOUR NAME WILLIAM GARRY?
YES.
WERE YOU A WEBER COUNTY SHERIFF?
YES.
WERE YOU AT YOUR HOME ON THE
EVENING OF OCTOBER 5 AROUND 9:45?
YES.
[Woman] AND WERE YOUR
WIFE AND THREE CHILDREN...
ALSO PRESENT IN THE
HOUSE AT THAT TIME?
[Garry] YES.
[Woman] DO YOU KNOW
WHO KILLED YOUR FAMILY?
[Garry] YES.
[Woman] AND WAS THAT PERSON YOU?
YES.
WHAT'S GOING ON, FRANK?
DON'T YOU THINK I SHOULD
HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS?
I CONTACTED YOUR OFFICE. HALF AN HOUR
AGO. THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH, MISTER.
[Woman] WERE YOU
FEELING RAGE AT THIS TIME?
YES.
WHATEVER YOU FIND IN
THERE IS INADMISSIBLE.
THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT. I
WANTED TO SEE THE TRUTH.
I WANTED YOU TO SEE IT.
AND WERE YOU FEELING ANGER?
YES.
THE MAN SAYS HE
KILLED HIS FAMILY,
AND ACCORDING TO MY RESULTS,
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE DID.
MAY I HAVE A LOOK?
IT'S ALL YOURS.
WELL, YOU WANTED YOUR PROOF.
GARRY'S SUFFERING
FROM DELUSIONS OF GUILT,
MOST LIKELY A FIXED
FALSE-BELIEF SYNDROME...
BROUGHT ON BY SEVERE DEPRESSION.
SO HE AGREED TO TAKE A POLYGRAPH
BECAUSE HE KNEW HE WOULD PASS?
COME ON. IT'S ALL THERE
IN THE CONFESSION.
A MAN CAN'T MAKE
UP LIES LIKE THAT.
HE MAY BE FEELING SO GUILTY,
HE'S CONVINCED HIMSELF HE'S
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE KILLINGS.
I'VE SEEN IT BEFORE.
HE ANSWERED TRUTHFULLY TO
QUESTIONS ABOUT RAGE AND ANGER...
BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT
THE KILLER MUST'VE BEEN FEELING.
YEAH.
BUT WHAT THE REAL KILLER FELT
IS NOT HATE, RAGE OR RESENTMENT.
HE FELT LOVE, COMPASSION. HE
DIDN'T SEE THE VICTIMS AS VICTIMS.
- HE SAW THEM AS SOMETHING ELSE.
- AS WHAT?
ANGELS. THAT'S HOW THE KILLER SAW THE
CHILDREN AT THE MOMENT OF THEIR DEATHS.
ANGELS?
IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE, FRANK, I'VE
GIVEN YOU EVERYTHING YOU'VE ASKED FOR.
I'VE BENT OVER BACKWARDS.
TOMORROW AFTERNOON
AT 1:00 WE GO BEFORE
A JUDGE AND JURY.
I'LL BE REQUESTING
THE DEATH PENALTY.
OBVIOUSLY, I WON'T BE NEEDING
YOUR SERVICES ANYMORE.
[Clears Throat]
FRANK, HOW DO YOU
KNOW THESE THINGS?
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
IF I BELIEVE 'EM.
- WE'RE GONNA NEED ANOTHER
EXAMINATION OF THE BODIES.
- THAT MEANS AN EXHUMATION.
- SMITH WILL NEVER GO FOR IT.
- WE'LL GO AROUND HIM.
- YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
- YOU CAN.
- HOW?
- YOU ASK A JUDGE TO ORDER IT.
I UNDERSTAND THIS WHOLE THING
HAS PUT YOU IN A DIFFICULT POSITION.
IS THAT WHAT'S OCCUPYING
YOUR MIND RIGHT NOW?
I WAS JUST WONDERING WHERE
I'LL BE WORKING NEXT WEEK.
YOUR JOB IS TO TELL THE STORY,
TO FIND THE TRUTH.
ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU WANT HERE?
YES.
[Tires Squealing]
[Crash]
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
I THINK SO.
ARE YOU? WHATEVER IT
WAS, IT CAME FROM THERE.
- WHAT DOES IT SAY?
- "GUILTY."
[Police Radio Chatter]
DIDI, WHAT IN THE
HELL IS GOING ON?
WHAT KIND OF JUDGE GIVES AN EXHUMATION
ORDER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?
A FEDERAL JUDGE.
WHO ORDERED THIS?
- THIS WENT THROUGH MY OFFICE?
- YES, IT DID.
- WHAT DO YOU WANT
WITH THESE BODIES?
- A REEXAMINATION.
THESE BODIES HAVE ALREADY BEEN
EXAMINED. I DID THE WORK MYSELF.
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
EXECUTING THE WRIT,
WE CAN HAVE DR. HIGGENS DO IT.
GO AHEAD! DIG THEM ALL UP!
[Man] ALL RIGHT! MOVE IT OUT!
[Engine Starts]
[Snipping Noises]
[Door Opens]
MR. GELLER, IF YOU
EXAMINE THE HAND...
I THINK YOU'LL FIND THAT THE CUTS COME
FROM AN ANGLE... SLICING, NOT PUNCTURING.
WE MISSED THAT.
I SUPPOSED WE COULD
CONSIDER THESE SLICES...
ENOUGH TO RECONSIDER
THE TERM "DEFENSIVE."
[Exhales Deeply]
I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
IT'S NOT A ONE. IT'S
AN "I" FOR ISAIAH.
CHAPTER 28, VERSE 15.
"WE HAVE MADE A
COVENANT WITH DEATH.
"WE HAVE MADE LIES OUR REFUGE...
AND UNDER FALSEHOOD
HAVE WE HID OURSELVES."
I KNOW WHAT THE LIES WERE.
YOU'RE NOT THE PERSON
THAT COMMITTED THESE CRIMES.
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I WANNA HELP YOU. TO DO WHAT?
TO LIVE.
MR. GARRY, YOUR
WIFE WAS PREGNANT.
YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT, DID YOU?
OF COURSE, I DID. I KNEW THAT.
NO, YOU DIDN'T.
NOT EVEN WHEN YOU PICKED HER
BODY UP AND CARRIED HER DOWNSTAIRS.
I'M GOING TO THE
JUDGE WITH THE TRUTH.
BUT IF YOU DON'T RECANT YOUR
CONFESSION, IT WON'T BE ENOUGH.
THE JURY'S GONNA
SENTENCE YOU TO DEATH,
AND IF THAT HAPPENS, YOU
WON'T BE PAYING FOR YOUR SINS,
YOU'LL BE COMMITTING SUICIDE.
THE TEMPLE OF GOD IS THE
BODY THE LORD HAS GIVEN US.
HE'S GIVEN IT TO US TO
LAST A VERY LONG TIME.
THE MURDERER WHO
DELIBERATELY KILLS SHALL DIE.
EXACTLY.
MR. BLACK.
I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS
WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT,
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE.
MY BLOOD MUST BE SHED
AT THE MOMENT OF MY DEATH.
TO ROB ME OF MY SALVATION WOULD BE
SENTENCING MY SOUL TO ETERNAL DAMNATION.
ARE YOU SO RIGHTEOUS IN YOUR
BELIEFS THAT YOU WOULD ALLOW THAT?
MR. GARRY, I CAN'T LET YOU DIE
FOR SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T DO.
THIS IS A PHOTO FROM THE CRIME
SCENE THE NIGHT OF THE MURDERS.
THE KILLER WROTE
1-2-8-1-5 ON THE WINDOW.
YOU'LL NOTICE THERE'S NO BLOOD
ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE KITCHEN.
WE TOOK SAMPLES
FROM THE KITCHEN RUG...
AND FOUND TRACES OF URINE
IN THE SHAMPOO RESIDUE.
IN ANALYZING IT, WE FOUND
HIGH LEVELS OF ESTROGEN,
INDICATING AN ADULT
FEMALE... MRS. GARRY.
ARE YOU SUGGESTING THE KITCHEN WAS
CLEANED BEFORE THE POLICE ARRIVED...
TO HIDE THE FACT THAT MRS. GARRY
DIED IN THE KITCHEN, NOT THE BASEMENT?
YOUR HONOR, EVEN IF MR. BLACK'S
SUPPOSITIONS PROVE TO BE TRUE,
EVEN IF MR. GARRY MOVED
THE BODY, WHAT DOES IT PROVE?
IT'S ALL CIRCUMSTANTIAL.
YOU GIVE ME A MONTH, AND I'LL HAVE
DATA THAT WILL REFUTE UNEQUIVOCALLY...
EVERY BIT OF INFORMATION
PRESENTED HERE THIS MORNING.
A MAN'S LIFE IS AT
STAKE. TAKE THE MONTH.
MY CONSCIENCE IS
CLEAR WITH MY GOD.
AND MY RESPONSIBILITY IS
TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS TOWN.
I BEG YOU, DON'T
SPEND THEIR MONEY,
DON'T BURDEN THEIR
EMOTIONS UNNECESSARILY.
WILLIAM GARRY SHOULD DIE FOR WHAT
HE DID. THIS TOWN SHOULD MOVE PAST THIS.
YOUR HONOR, I HAVE SPENT
MY WHOLE ADULT LIFE...
TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE MIND OF A
KILLER WORKS, HOW HE THINKS, HOW HE FEELS.
WILLIAM GARRY IS NOT CAPABLE OF
DOING THE THINGS HE'S BEEN CONVICTED OF.
ARTHUR SHAWCROSS
KILLED TWO PEOPLE,
WAS PAROLED AFTER 14 YEARS,
AND THEN MURDERED 11 INNOCENT
VICTIMS BEFORE HE WAS CAUGHT AGAIN.
WILLIAM GARRY
SLAUGHTERED HIS FAMILY.
[Huffs] GOD HELP US IF WE GIVE
HIM A CHANCE TO KILL AGAIN.
HAVE YOU TAKEN THE COURT'S TIME JUST
TO DELIVER A PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE?
THERE WERE FIVE CUTS ON
MRS. GARRY'S RIGHT HAND...
THAT DR. GELLER
TERMED "DEFENSIVE."
HERE'S HOW THEY REALLY HAPPENED.
THE FIRST TWO STROKES
PIERCE HER LEFT VENTRICLE.
THE THIRD STROKE FULLY
PENETRATES HER LEFT ATRIUM.
COMPLETELY DISABLING BLOOD FLOW.
BY THE FOURTH STROKE, SHE
HAS WEAKENED CONSIDERABLY...
AND HER HAND SLIDES
ALONG THE BLADE...
AT THIS SPECIFIC ANGLE.
THE WOUND PENETRATES
HER RIGHT VENTRICLE...
CAUSING MASSIVE BLEEDING
INTO HER PERICARDIUM.
SHE DIES SECONDS LATER.
IF YOU CHECK FORENSICS,
YOU'LL SEE THAT THESE
MARKINGS EXACTLY
MATCH THE WOUNDS ON
MRS. GARRY'S RIGHT HAND.
ARE YOU ASKING THIS
COURT TO BELIEVE THAT...
MRS. GARRY STABBED HERSELF
FOUR TIMES IN THE HEART?
A PERSON IN HER FRAME OF MIND WOULD
BE CAPABLE OF JUST ABOUT ANYTHING.
I HAD A CASE ONCE WHERE A
MAN STABBED HIMSELF 27 TIMES...
THREE TIMES IN THE
HEART... AND LIVED.
WILLIAM GARRY'S FINGERPRINTS
WERE FOUND ON THE MURDER WEAPON.
THE BLOOD OF ALL THE VICTIMS WAS
FOUND ON HIS CLOTHING AND HIS BODY.
WHY WOULD A MOTHER
KILL HER CHILDREN?
AS MAD AS IT SOUNDS,
SHE SAW HER
CHILDREN AS ANGELS...
AND WANTED TO
KEEP THEM THAT WAY.
WILLIAM GARRY HAS GONE
THROUGH DUE PROCESS,
AND QUITE FRANKLY, NOTHING
PRESENTED HERE THIS MORNING...
WOULD WARRANT AN APPEALS
COURT TO OVERTURN THAT VERDICT.
WHAT IS IT YOU'RE ASKING
THIS COURT TO DO, MR. BLACK?
BILLY.
[Frank] WHEN GARY CAME
IN FROM THE GARAGE,
THE FIRST ONE HE SAW WAS WILLIAM
JR. LYING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS.
DOLORES! BILLY. DOLORES!
[Sobs, Murmurs]
[Frank] HIS YOUNGEST CHILD,
GABE, LAY IN THE HALLWAY...
WRAPPED IN A BLOODY SHEET.
[Sobs] OHHH. DOLORES!
OHHH.
HE WENT INTO HIS
DAUGHTER'S ROOM...
AND FOUND HER DEAD AS WELL.
[Clatter] HE HEARD A NOISE.
HE RAN TO THE KITCHEN.
SHE HAD KILLED HER ANGELS, AND NOW
THERE WAS ONLY ONE THING LEFT TO DO.
[Sobbing]
[Reilly] SHE HAD STABBED
HERSELF THREE TIMES ALREADY.
SHE TOLD BILL IT WAS HIS FAULT.
SHE SAID HE MADE
HER KILL THE CHILDREN,
AND THEN SHE STABBED
HERSELF ONE LAST TIME.
HE CALLED YOU.
HE TOLD ME WHAT SHE'D DONE,
ASKED ME TO COME TO THE HOUSE.
BY THE TIME I GOT THERE, HE'D
ALREADY WRAPPED THE BODIES IN SHEETS.
HE WAS A COP.
HE KNEW THAT IF HER BODY WASN'T FOUND
NEXT TO THE CHILDREN, IT WOULDN'T FIT.
HE SAID SHE COULDN'T BEAR THE THOUGHT
OF LIVING IN A WORLD OF ADULTERERS...
MEN LIKE HIM.
IT WAS ONE NIGHT.
I KNOW. ONE NIGHT.
WILLIAM GARRY IS
THE BEST MAN I'VE EVER
KNOWN. THERE'S NOTHING
I WOULDN'T DO FOR HIM.
YOU CLEANED THE KITCHEN.
YOU SHAMPOOED THE RUG.
WHY DIDN'T YOU CLEAN THE
NUMBERS OFF THE WINDOW?
WE CLOSED THE DRAPES TO
CLEAN UP. WE DIDN'T SEE THEM.
MM-HMM.
INSTEAD OF LOOKING
FOR THE TRUTH,
THE PEOPLE OF THIS
TOWN WERE LOOKING FOR...
WHATEVER WOULD PUT THE
PAIN AND THE BLOOD BEHIND THEM.
THAT'S WHAT THEY
THOUGHT THEY NEEDED.
WHAT DO YOU NEED?
I'M A POLICE OFFICER.
SIX MONTHS AGO, I BROKE
THE LAW TO HELP MY FRIEND.
NOW YOU'RE ASKING
ME TO BETRAY HIM.
THE JUDGE IS MOVING FORWARD.
THE JURY'S GONNA COME
BACK WITH THE DEATH PENALTY.
YOU HELPED HIM ONCE.
IF YOU ARE HIS FRIEND,
YOU'LL HELP HIM AGAIN.
[Engine Starts]
[Child] I MADE THIS!
[Whirring Stops]
[Children Chattering]
- [Coughs] HI, DAD.
- HI, DAD.
I, UH, BROUGHT
CHICKEN FROM SMALL'S.
I'M GONNA SKIP DINNER.
HOW'S GABE? WE COULDN'T
GET IN TO THE DOCTOR.
I BOUGHT COUGH
SYRUP AT THE PHARMACY.
[Click] [Whirring Stops]
- YOU SHOULD
COME TO DINNER, DAD.
- YOU GO ON IN, SON.
[Eerie Voices Whispering]
[Gasps] WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
[Telephone Ringing]
[Ring]
REILLY.
THIS IS DEPUTY
REILLY. CAN I HELP YOU?
I DID IT.
THEY'RE DEAD, ALL DEAD.
IN OGDEN, UTAH, THE
PROSECUTION IN THE CASE...
OF FORMER COUNTY
SHERIFF WILLIAM GARRY...
CONVICTED OF MURDERING
HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN...
IS EXPECTED TO PUSH HARD
FOR THE DEATH PENALTY.
COUNTY PROSECUTOR CALVIN SMITH
IS BRINGING IN A FORMER F.B.I. AGENT...
TO GIVE THE JURY A
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE...
OF THE MAN HE SAYS DOES NOT
DESERVE TO LIVE OUT HIS LIFE IN PRISON.
IN OTHER NEWS, DISASTER
STRIKES CLOSER TO HOME...
WHERE AN INTERCONTINENTAL GAS
LINE HAS ERUPTED IN THE EARLY HOURS.
CHARLIE HORVATH. SAY
HELLO TO FRANK BLACK.
HE'S THE MAN WHO'S GONNA CLOSE
THE BOOK ON MR. WILLIAM GARRY.
CHARLIE'S THE ASSISTANT
COUNTY PROSECUTOR.
HE DID A LOT OF GOOD
WORK ON THAT TRIAL.
WE APPRECIATE YOU
BEING HERE, MR. BLACK.
THIS TOWN NEEDS TO
GET PAST THIS THING.
THIS IS DIDI HIGGENS. SHE'S THE
ASSISTANT PATHOLOGIST TO THE M.E.
HE COULDN'T BE HERE
TODAY, BUT I ASSURE YOU...
DIDI IS WELL ACQUAINTED
WITH THE FACTS OF THIS CASE.
HOW DO YOU DO? HI.
FRANK, WE'RE ALL AWARE OF THE
IMPORTANCE OF WHAT IT IS THAT YOU DO.
IF THE JURY EVEN CONSIDERS
THAT IT WASN'T A COLD,
CALCULATED PREMEDITATED MURDER,
THEY WON'T VOTE
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE SOME
COURT OF APPEALS DOWN THE ROAD...
DOESN'T SET WILLIAM GARRY
FREE TO DO THIS AGAIN...
MAYBE TO SOME OTHER FAMILY.
DIDI, YOU WANNA RUN
THIS DOWN FOR FRANK?
WILLIAM GARRY'S FINGERPRINTS WERE
FOUND ON THIS. IT'S CALLED A SKEW CHISEL.
ONE MINUTE THE BOY'S SMILING AT HIS FATHER.
THE NEXT, HE'S GOT THAT IN HIS HEART.
MRS. GARRY HEARD THE COMMOTION.
CAME DOWNSTAIRS
AND SURPRISED GARRY.
SHE PUT UP A PROLONGED STRUGGLE.
A NUMBER OF DEFENSIVE
WOUNDS ON THE ARMS AND HANDS.
DEATH CAME WHEN HER CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
SHUT DOWN DUE TO OXYGEN DEPRIVATION...
CAUSED BY FOUR PUNCTURE
WOUNDS TO THE HEART.
THE LITTLE GIRL, MARY, WAS
IN HER ROOM IN THE BASEMENT.
EIGHT PUNCTURE WOUNDS
TO THE CHEST AREA.
GARRY THEN WENT UPSTAIRS TO
GABRIEL'S ROOM... THE YOUNGEST CHILD...
KILLED HIM TOO.
GARRY WRAPPED
GABRIEL IN A SHEET...
AND CARRIED HIM
DOWN TO THE BASEMENT.
WHERE HE WRAPPED THE OTHERS IN
SHEETS AND LAID THEM SIDE-BY-SIDE.
WE THINK HE SAT ON THE BASEMENT
STEPS FOR 15 OR 20 MINUTES...
BEFORE CALLING IT IN.
SHERIFF GARRY MUST'VE HAD A
LOT OF FRIENDS IN WEBER COUNTY.
NOBODY SAW THIS COMING?
WELL, EVERYBODY KNEW THAT
THEY WERE HAVING TROUBLE, BUT...
MY GOD, NO ONE KNEW THE
EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM.
- I'LL NEED ACCESS
TO THE CRIME SCENE.
- WHATEVER YOU NEED.
- COPIES OF COURT TRANSCRIPTS.
- DONE.
- C.S.I. PHOTOS
AND FORENSIC REPORTS.
- GOT THOSE RIGHT HERE.
I'LL ALSO NEED TO
SPEAK WITH GARRY. [Huffs]
GARRY'S ATTORNEY WILL NEVER
CONSENT TO YOU INTERVIEWING HIM,
BUT THERE'S A TAPE OF HIS
CONFESSION ON THE TABLE.
- THANKS.
- DON'T THANK ME. JUST BE
READY TO GO BY WEDNESDAY.
FRANK,
THE LAST THING THOSE CHILDREN SAW
BEFORE THEY SAW THE FACE OF GOD...
WAS THEIR FATHER'S FACE,
THE FACE OF A MURDERER.
I WANT WILLIAM GARRY
TO PAY FOR THAT.
[Whirring]
[Whirring Stops]
- YOU'RE FRANK BLACK?
- YEAH.
DEPUTY REILLY. I'M SUPPOSED
TO LET YOU IN THE HOUSE.
I'D LIKE TO SEE THE KITCHEN.
THERE WAS A NUMBER WRITTEN
ON THE WINDOW IN BLOOD. 1-2-8-1-5.
WHAT WAS MADE OF THAT?
NOTHING. NO ONE EVER
FIGURED OUT WHAT IT MEANT.
GARRY WROTE IT
AFTER THE MURDERS?
BILL SAYS HE REMEMBERS WRITING
IT, BUT HE DOESN'T REMEMBER WHY.
I KNOW CAL SMITH
CHECKED OUT ITS RELEVANCE
TO NUMEROLOGY, ASTROLOGY,
THAT SORT OF THING.
HOW MUCH BLOOD
WAS HERE ON THE RUG?
JUST WHAT WAS ON THE WINDOW.
THE MURDERS TOOK PLACE DOWNSTAIRS
AND IN THE LITTLE BOY'S ROOM.
HMM.
[Click]
[Recording, Garry] I CAME IN
FROM WORKING IN THE GARAGE.
I WAS TIRED. I
PUT IN A LONG DAY.
WILLIAM JR. WAS COMING
DOWN THE STAIRS.
HE DIDN'T SEE ME AT FIRST.
I THINK I THOUGHT I WAS
JUST SMACKING HIM...
TILL I REALIZED I HAD
THE CHISEL IN MY HAND...
AND THERE WAS BLOOD ALL
OVER ME AND... MY SON WAS DEAD.
MY WIFE CAME DOWN THE STAIRS.
SHE MUST'VE HEARD THE NOISE.
THERE WAS NO STOPPING NOW.
AFTER I FINISHED WITH MY WIFE, I
WENT INTO MY DAUGHTER'S ROOM.
MARY WAS AWAKE. THAT
MADE IT MORE DIFFICULT.
SHE COWERED ON HER BED, CRYING.
SHE DIDN'T FIGHT. SHE DIDN'T
FIGHT BACK OR TRY TO RUN AWAY.
IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I'D
EVER LAID A HAND ON HER.
I HAD TO GO UPSTAIRS
TO GABE'S ROOM.
I'M GRATEFUL NOW HE DIDN'T WAKE
UP TO SEE ME LOOKING DOWN AT HIM.
HE WAS ONLY FIVE YEARS OLD.
[Toy Squeaks] ONCE YOU
START SOMETHING LIKE THIS,
YOU SOMEHOW HAVE TO FINISH.
[Thunder Rumbling]
- HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN GARRY?
- TWELVE YEARS. HE BROUGHT ME
TO THE DEPARTMENT.
YOU LIKED HIM?
I RESPECTED WILLIAM GARRY MORE
THAN ANY MAN I'VE EVER KNOWN.
WHAT ABOUT MRS. GARRY?
YOU FRIENDS WITH HER?
I WAS CLOSE WITH
THE WHOLE FAMILY.
WHY DO YOU THINK
HE DID THESE THINGS?
TO BE HONEST, MR. BLACK,
I DON'T THINK ABOUT THAT.
NO USE STIRRING UP FEELINGS.
[Thunder Continues]
[Telephone Rings]
[Ring]
- HELLO?
- HI, DADDY.
HOW'S MY GIRL? TIRED, BUT I
WANT TO SAY GOOD NIGHT TO YOU.
GOOD NIGHT. TAKING
CARE OF MOMMY?
YEP. OKAY. SWEET DREAMS.
HI. HOW DID IT GO TODAY?
WELL... WHAT IS IT?
I JUST FINISHED READING GARRY'S
CONFESSION. IT'S VERY STRANGE.
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
- IN MOST MURDER CONFESSIONS...
THERE'S LOTS OF LITTLE
LIES, INCONSISTENCIES,
THINGS NOT REMEMBERED,
HALF-TRUTHS...
AN ATTEMPT TO MINIMIZE THE
BRUTALITY OF THE MURDERS.
NONE OF THAT'S HERE. HE'S
ACCOUNTED FOR EVERYTHING.
HE WAS A POLICE OFFICER. HE
KNOWS ABOUT CRIME SCENES.
YES, BUT FOR A MURDERER TO HAVE THIS
KIND OF CLARITY OF TRUTH IS VERY STRANGE.
SO ALL THAT TRUTH
ADDS UP TO A LIE?
I DON'T KNOW. I LOVE YOU.
ME TOO.
BYE. BYE-BYE.
FRANK BLACK?
MICHAEL SLATTERY.
THANKS FOR MEETING ME.
JUST COFFEE, PLEASE.
BLACK. OKAY. YOU GOT IT.
LISTEN, I WANNA GET
THIS ON THE RECORD HERE.
I MAY HAVE BEEN HANDED A CASE
THAT I CAN'T WIN, BUT I'M NOT AN IDIOT.
I'M NOT GONNA TURN
MY CLIENT OVER TO YOU.
I'M NOT HERE TO
CONDEMN YOUR CLIENT.
I'M HERE TO DELIVER A
BEHAVIORAL PROFILE FOR A JURY.
THANK YOU. [Waitress] MM-HMM.
TELL ME ABOUT HIM.
ACTUALLY, THERE'S
NOTHING TO TELL.
THE MAN'S SAID TWO WORDS TO
ME IN FOUR MONTHS. "I'M GUILTY."
I READ THE COURT TRANSCRIPTS.
WHY DIDN'T YOU PLEAD
TEMPORARY INSANITY?
HE WOULDN'T LET ME. THE MAN
WANTS TO DIE, NEEDS TO DIE.
SEE, ACCORDING TO
GARRY'S RELIGIOUS BELIEFS,
FOR A MURDERER, A
SHEDDER OF BLOOD,
TO BE FORGIVEN BY GOD
AT THE TIME OF HIS DEATH,
HIS BLOOD MUST ALSO BE SHED.
DEATH BY FIRING SQUAD FORTUNATELY
ALLOWS FOR THIS DISPENSATION.
DID YOU EVER WONDER
ABOUT HIS BACKGROUND?
NO HISTORY OF VIOLENCE...
DEPARTMENTAL, DOMESTIC, ANY KIND.
THE GUY WAS AN EAGLE SCOUT.
BUT THE MAN CONFESSED AND THE
FACTS SUPPORT THE CONFESSION.
THERE'S NO OTHER SUSPECTS. HIS
FINGERPRINTS WERE ON THE WEAPON.
ALL THE FORENSIC
EVIDENCE POINTS TO HIM.
ALL I CAN FIGHT FOR
IS TO KEEP HIM ALIVE.
I'LL PROBABLY LOSE THAT.
YOU FOR OR AGAINST
IT... PERSONALLY, I MEAN.
- WHAT'S THAT?
- THE DEATH PENALTY.
SEE, FOR ME, IT'S REAL SIMPLE.
IF YOU LIKE THE IDEA OF
KILLING PEOPLE, YOU'RE FOR IT.
IF YOU HATE THE IDEA OF KILLING
PEOPLE, YOU'RE AGAINST IT.
POOR WILLIAM GARRY.
THE MAN JUST WANTS TO DIE
AND HE'S SADDLED WITH A LAWYER...
WHO'S THE ONLY MAN IN
TOWN WHO WANTS TO SAVE HIM.
WELL?
COME ON, FRANK. YOU WERE
CALLED HERE BY THE PROSECUTION.
YOU DON'T REALLY THINK THAT I
WOULD GIVE YOU ACCESS TO MY CLIENT.
AS I SAID, MY
RECOMMENDATIONS WILL NOT BE
PREJUDICED. I'M JUST
HERE TO FIND THE TRUTH.
[Birds Chirping]
THANK YOU FOR COMING, FRANK. THERE'S
SOME PEOPLE THAT WOULD LIKE TO MEET YOU.
MR. AND MRS. ANDERSON, THIS IS
FRANK BLACK, THE MAN I TOLD YOU ABOUT.
FRANK, MRS. GARRY'S PARENTS.
I'M VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
MR. SMITH SAYS YOU'RE
GOING TO HELP US WITH THIS.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS TO US...
THAT...
I... HAVE NIGHTMARES...
[Sobbing] OF MY DAUGHTER,
MY GRANDCHILDREN.
I SEE IT.
[Exhales Deeply]
[Muffled Sobs]
ALL MY LIFE, I'VE...
I'VE BEEN A FATHER,
A HUSBAND, A FARMER.
THAT'S BEEN THE
TRINITY OF MY LIFE.
I NO LONGER HAVE THAT.
WILLIAM GARRY IS TO BLAME.
IF YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, MR. BLACK,
YOU'LL MAKE SURE THAT HE
PAYS THE PRICE HE OUGHT TO PAY.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU
BOTH FOR COMING IN.
DID YOU ARRANGE
THAT FOR MY BENEFIT?
SHOULDN'T YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF THE
KIND OF GRIEF THIS MAN HAS WROUGHT?
FRANK, IN FLORIDA THERE ARE 376 INMATES
ON DEATH ROW WAITING FOR EXECUTION.
IN CALIFORNIA, THERE ARE 471.
SOME OF THESE CASES
GO BACK 14, 15 YEARS.
THE BLOOD DEBT IN THIS
STATE, MR. BLACK, IS NINE.
I DON'T MIND TELLING YOU I'M A
LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT YOU.
I'M MEETING DIDI HIGGENS AT THE CRIME
SCENE THIS AFTERNOON. I'VE GOT QUESTIONS.
THE TRIAL'S OVER, FRANK.
WHAT I NEED IS A PROFILE TO PUT THE
SON OF A BITCH IN FRONT OF A FIRING SQUAD.
PUT ME BEFORE THE JURY NOW
AND I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
WILLIAM GARRY MURDERED
HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN.
HE CONFESSED TO IT.
MEET WITH DIDI, EXHAUST
YOUR QUESTIONS,
BUT PLEASE GIVE ME THE PROFILE
I NEED BY WEDNESDAY MORNING.
- I UNDERSTAND YOU MET
WITH MR. GARRY'S LAWYER.
- YES.
- MIND IF I ASK WHY?
- HE GAVE ME PERMISSION
TO INTERVIEW MR. GARRY.
[Garry] I BOUGHT THE ELEPHANT
FOR HIM THE DAY HE WAS BORN.
[Floor Creaking]
THERE WAS NO PAIN, NO SORROW...
JUST A KIND OF DULLNESS
AFTER THE ANGER.
AND THE NEED TO FINISH IT.
YOU DIDN'T FEEL ANY OTHER
EMOTIONS DURING THE KILLINGS?
JUST RAGE.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT NOW?
I'M SORRY. I FEEL SORRY.
WHY DIDN'T YOU LET YOUR LAWYER
PLEAD TEMPORARY INSANITY?
I WASN'T INSANE.
I WAS ANGRY. I WAS IN A RAGE.
I LET THINGS BUILD
UP. SHAME ON ME.
MOST MURDERERS
FIGHT THE CHARGES.
MR. BLACK, I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR WHAT I'VE DONE.
A MAN MAKES A MISTAKE,
HE SHOULD PAY FOR IT.
I WAS A PEACE
OFFICER FOR 17 YEARS.
NOW IF I ARRESTED SOMEBODY
WHO DID SOMETHING LIKE THIS,
I WOULD'VE FOUGHT LIKE
HELL TO HAVE THEM EXECUTED.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
WOULD'VE BEEN RIGHT.
YOU WANNA TELL
ME WHY YOU DID IT?
I THOUGHT ABOUT
IT FOR A LONG TIME.
I FANTASIZED ABOUT IT.
DO YOU HAVE A WIFE AND FAMILY?
- WELL, THEN YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
- NO.
I DON'T.
THERE WERE MONEY PROBLEMS.
BILLS AND MORE BILLS.
THINGS WERE NO
BETTER WITH MY WIFE.
IT GOT TO THE POINT
WHERE I HATED HER.
AND SHE HATED ME.
YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO
SCREAM IN SILENCE 365 DAYS A YEAR?
I WENT IN THERE THAT NIGHT TO
WIPE OUT MY FAMILY, MR. BLACK,
BECAUSE IT WAS THE ONLY WAY.
THE ONLY WAY.
I FOUND THIS IN YOUR GARAGE.
IT WAS YOUR WIFE'S BIRTHDAY
THE NEXT DAY, WASN'T IT?
THAT'S RIGHT. SHE LIKED ANGELS.
SO YOU USE YOUR HANDS TO
MAKE A GIFT FOR YOUR WIFE...
AND THOSE SAME HANDS
SLAUGHTER HER AND THE CHILDREN?
AND YOU WROTE THIS?
WHY?
WHAT YOU HAVE IN
YOUR HANDS IS A LIE.
FASHION AN ANGEL FOR YOUR WIFE'S
BIRTHDAY AND THEN KILL THE FAMILY.
HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.
HE SAYS HE FELT ANGER AND RAGE.
THE STAGING OF THE BODIES
INDICATES THE KILLER WAS CALM.
GARRY SAYS HE KILLED
WILLIAM JR. HERE ON THE STAIRS.
THAT'S CORRECT. THERE WERE TRACES
OF BROWN AND BEIGE CARPET FIBERS...
ON THE BOY'S PAJAMAS.
BUT GARRY ALSO SAYS HE KILLED HIS
YOUNGEST, GABE, IN THE BEDROOM...
[Sighs] AND CARRIED HIM DOWN
HERE WRAPPED IN SHEETS.
THAT'S CORRECT. THE STAINS ON
THE SHEET THE BOY WAS WRAPPED IN...
MATCH THE STAINS ON
THE MATTRESS UPSTAIRS.
BUT THERE WERE TRACES OF BROWN
AND BEIGE FIBER FOUND ON THE SHEET.
DR. GELLER'S FEELING WAS THAT GABRIEL
WAS DRAGGED DOWN THE STAIRS, NOT CARRIED.
- GARRY SAID HE CARRIED HIM.
- IT'S AN INCONSISTENCY NOT
UNCOMMON IN MURDER CONFESSIONS.
- YOU AGREED WITH THAT?
- I DIDN'T AGREE OR DISAGREE.
[Echoing] WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
THE WOUNDS ON MRS.
GARRY'S HANDS. YES?
THERE ARE CUTS
ALONG THE FINGERS...
ACROSS THE PALM
OF THE RIGHT HAND.
- THAT'S CORRECT.
- THEY'RE DEFENSIVE?
- I BELIEVE THAT'S
HOW THEY WERE DESCRIBED.
- YOU DIDN'T EXAMINE THEM?
NO. I WAS THE ASSISTANT.
MRS. GARRY'S BODY
WAS FOUND HERE.
WE KNOW THERE WAS INCONTINENCE,
BUT NO URINE WAS
FOUND ON THE CARPETING.
IN DR. GELLER'S OPINION, THE URINE SIMPLY
DIDN'T SEEP THROUGH TO THE CARPETING.
ACCORDING TO GARY'S
CONFESSION, HE WROTE THIS
IN BLOOD AFTER KILLING
HER AND THE CHILDREN,
WHICH MEANS HE WALKED
IN HERE COVERED IN BLOOD..
AFTER KILLING HIS FAMILY,
LEANED OVER TO THE WINDOW
AND WROTE THE NUMBERS...
AND, UM, LEFT NO
BLOOD ANYWHERE ELSE.
NOT EVEN FOOTPRINTS
ON A WHITE CARPET?
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SAYING.
I THINK IF YOU ANALYZE THIS CARPET,
YOU'LL FIND IT WAS SHAMPOOED.
YOU'LL ALSO FIND URINE TRACES...
MRS. GARRY'S.
SHE DIED RIGHT HERE,
NOT DOWNSTAIRS.
ARE YOU SAYING SOMEONE'S
TAMPERED WITH THE EVIDENCE?
I'M SUGGESTING SOMEONE ELSE
COMMITTED THESE MURDERS.
[Engine Starts]
MR. BLACK, AS I
TOLD MR. SLATTERY,
I CAN'T GET INTO THE SPECIFICS OF
WHY THE GARRYS CAME TO SEE ME.
THE WOMAN IS DEAD.
THAT'S IRRELEVANT.
AN INNOCENT MAN COULD DIE.
WHO, MR. GARRY? A MAN WHO SLAUGHTERS
HIS CHILDREN AND STABS HIS WIFE FOUR TIMES?
I'D SAY HE DESERVES TO DIE.
WHAT IF HE DIDN'T DO IT?
ASK A QUESTION,
MAKE IT SPECIFIC,
AND IF I CAN ANSWER IT, I WILL.
WAS MRS. GARRY HAVING AN
AFFAIR WITH DEPUTY KEVIN REILLY?
MRS. GARRY WAS A FAITHFUL WIFE.
SHE WAS A WOMAN WHO NEEDED TO TALK
OPENLY ABOUT AN EMOTIONAL PROBLEM...
THAT WAS TEARING AT THE
VERY FABRIC OF HER SOUL.
NOW, ON THE OTHER HAND,
DON'T ASK ME ABOUT MR. GARRY.
DID THEY TALK TO YOU
ABOUT HAVING ANOTHER CHILD?
I CAN'T ANSWER THAT.
THIS IS A RECEIPT FROM
THE M&W PHARMACY.
MRS. GARRY WAS THERE THAT NIGHT.
IT'S FOR ONE BOTTLE
OF COLD SYRUP...
AND A HOME PREGNANCY TEST.
IS YOUR NAME WILLIAM GARRY?
YES.
WERE YOU A WEBER COUNTY SHERIFF?
YES.
WERE YOU AT YOUR HOME ON THE
EVENING OF OCTOBER 5 AROUND 9:45?
YES.
[Woman] AND WERE YOUR
WIFE AND THREE CHILDREN...
ALSO PRESENT IN THE
HOUSE AT THAT TIME?
[Garry] YES.
[Woman] DO YOU KNOW
WHO KILLED YOUR FAMILY?
[Garry] YES.
[Woman] AND WAS THAT PERSON YOU?
YES.
WHAT'S GOING ON, FRANK?
DON'T YOU THINK I SHOULD
HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS?
I CONTACTED YOUR OFFICE. HALF AN HOUR
AGO. THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH, MISTER.
[Woman] WERE YOU
FEELING RAGE AT THIS TIME?
YES.
WHATEVER YOU FIND IN
THERE IS INADMISSIBLE.
THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT. I
WANTED TO SEE THE TRUTH.
I WANTED YOU TO SEE IT.
AND WERE YOU FEELING ANGER?
YES.
THE MAN SAYS HE
KILLED HIS FAMILY,
AND ACCORDING TO MY RESULTS,
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE DID.
MAY I HAVE A LOOK?
IT'S ALL YOURS.
WELL, YOU WANTED YOUR PROOF.
GARRY'S SUFFERING
FROM DELUSIONS OF GUILT,
MOST LIKELY A FIXED
FALSE-BELIEF SYNDROME...
BROUGHT ON BY SEVERE DEPRESSION.
SO HE AGREED TO TAKE A POLYGRAPH
BECAUSE HE KNEW HE WOULD PASS?
COME ON. IT'S ALL THERE
IN THE CONFESSION.
A MAN CAN'T MAKE
UP LIES LIKE THAT.
HE MAY BE FEELING SO GUILTY,
HE'S CONVINCED HIMSELF HE'S
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE KILLINGS.
I'VE SEEN IT BEFORE.
HE ANSWERED TRUTHFULLY TO
QUESTIONS ABOUT RAGE AND ANGER...
BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT
THE KILLER MUST'VE BEEN FEELING.
YEAH.
BUT WHAT THE REAL KILLER FELT
IS NOT HATE, RAGE OR RESENTMENT.
HE FELT LOVE, COMPASSION. HE
DIDN'T SEE THE VICTIMS AS VICTIMS.
- HE SAW THEM AS SOMETHING ELSE.
- AS WHAT?
ANGELS. THAT'S HOW THE KILLER SAW THE
CHILDREN AT THE MOMENT OF THEIR DEATHS.
ANGELS?
IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE, FRANK, I'VE
GIVEN YOU EVERYTHING YOU'VE ASKED FOR.
I'VE BENT OVER BACKWARDS.
TOMORROW AFTERNOON
AT 1:00 WE GO BEFORE
A JUDGE AND JURY.
I'LL BE REQUESTING
THE DEATH PENALTY.
OBVIOUSLY, I WON'T BE NEEDING
YOUR SERVICES ANYMORE.
[Clears Throat]
FRANK, HOW DO YOU
KNOW THESE THINGS?
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
IF I BELIEVE 'EM.
- WE'RE GONNA NEED ANOTHER
EXAMINATION OF THE BODIES.
- THAT MEANS AN EXHUMATION.
- SMITH WILL NEVER GO FOR IT.
- WE'LL GO AROUND HIM.
- YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
- YOU CAN.
- HOW?
- YOU ASK A JUDGE TO ORDER IT.
I UNDERSTAND THIS WHOLE THING
HAS PUT YOU IN A DIFFICULT POSITION.
IS THAT WHAT'S OCCUPYING
YOUR MIND RIGHT NOW?
I WAS JUST WONDERING WHERE
I'LL BE WORKING NEXT WEEK.
YOUR JOB IS TO TELL THE STORY,
TO FIND THE TRUTH.
ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU WANT HERE?
YES.
[Tires Squealing]
[Crash]
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
I THINK SO.
ARE YOU? WHATEVER IT
WAS, IT CAME FROM THERE.
- WHAT DOES IT SAY?
- "GUILTY."
[Police Radio Chatter]
DIDI, WHAT IN THE
HELL IS GOING ON?
WHAT KIND OF JUDGE GIVES AN EXHUMATION
ORDER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?
A FEDERAL JUDGE.
WHO ORDERED THIS?
- THIS WENT THROUGH MY OFFICE?
- YES, IT DID.
- WHAT DO YOU WANT
WITH THESE BODIES?
- A REEXAMINATION.
THESE BODIES HAVE ALREADY BEEN
EXAMINED. I DID THE WORK MYSELF.
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
EXECUTING THE WRIT,
WE CAN HAVE DR. HIGGENS DO IT.
GO AHEAD! DIG THEM ALL UP!
[Man] ALL RIGHT! MOVE IT OUT!
[Engine Starts]
[Snipping Noises]
[Door Opens]
MR. GELLER, IF YOU
EXAMINE THE HAND...
I THINK YOU'LL FIND THAT THE CUTS COME
FROM AN ANGLE... SLICING, NOT PUNCTURING.
WE MISSED THAT.
I SUPPOSED WE COULD
CONSIDER THESE SLICES...
ENOUGH TO RECONSIDER
THE TERM "DEFENSIVE."
[Exhales Deeply]
I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
IT'S NOT A ONE. IT'S
AN "I" FOR ISAIAH.
CHAPTER 28, VERSE 15.
"WE HAVE MADE A
COVENANT WITH DEATH.
"WE HAVE MADE LIES OUR REFUGE...
AND UNDER FALSEHOOD
HAVE WE HID OURSELVES."
I KNOW WHAT THE LIES WERE.
YOU'RE NOT THE PERSON
THAT COMMITTED THESE CRIMES.
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I WANNA HELP YOU. TO DO WHAT?
TO LIVE.
MR. GARRY, YOUR
WIFE WAS PREGNANT.
YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT, DID YOU?
OF COURSE, I DID. I KNEW THAT.
NO, YOU DIDN'T.
NOT EVEN WHEN YOU PICKED HER
BODY UP AND CARRIED HER DOWNSTAIRS.
I'M GOING TO THE
JUDGE WITH THE TRUTH.
BUT IF YOU DON'T RECANT YOUR
CONFESSION, IT WON'T BE ENOUGH.
THE JURY'S GONNA
SENTENCE YOU TO DEATH,
AND IF THAT HAPPENS, YOU
WON'T BE PAYING FOR YOUR SINS,
YOU'LL BE COMMITTING SUICIDE.
THE TEMPLE OF GOD IS THE
BODY THE LORD HAS GIVEN US.
HE'S GIVEN IT TO US TO
LAST A VERY LONG TIME.
THE MURDERER WHO
DELIBERATELY KILLS SHALL DIE.
EXACTLY.
MR. BLACK.
I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS
WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT,
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE.
MY BLOOD MUST BE SHED
AT THE MOMENT OF MY DEATH.
TO ROB ME OF MY SALVATION WOULD BE
SENTENCING MY SOUL TO ETERNAL DAMNATION.
ARE YOU SO RIGHTEOUS IN YOUR
BELIEFS THAT YOU WOULD ALLOW THAT?
MR. GARRY, I CAN'T LET YOU DIE
FOR SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T DO.
THIS IS A PHOTO FROM THE CRIME
SCENE THE NIGHT OF THE MURDERS.
THE KILLER WROTE
1-2-8-1-5 ON THE WINDOW.
YOU'LL NOTICE THERE'S NO BLOOD
ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE KITCHEN.
WE TOOK SAMPLES
FROM THE KITCHEN RUG...
AND FOUND TRACES OF URINE
IN THE SHAMPOO RESIDUE.
IN ANALYZING IT, WE FOUND
HIGH LEVELS OF ESTROGEN,
INDICATING AN ADULT
FEMALE... MRS. GARRY.
ARE YOU SUGGESTING THE KITCHEN WAS
CLEANED BEFORE THE POLICE ARRIVED...
TO HIDE THE FACT THAT MRS. GARRY
DIED IN THE KITCHEN, NOT THE BASEMENT?
YOUR HONOR, EVEN IF MR. BLACK'S
SUPPOSITIONS PROVE TO BE TRUE,
EVEN IF MR. GARRY MOVED
THE BODY, WHAT DOES IT PROVE?
IT'S ALL CIRCUMSTANTIAL.
YOU GIVE ME A MONTH, AND I'LL HAVE
DATA THAT WILL REFUTE UNEQUIVOCALLY...
EVERY BIT OF INFORMATION
PRESENTED HERE THIS MORNING.
A MAN'S LIFE IS AT
STAKE. TAKE THE MONTH.
MY CONSCIENCE IS
CLEAR WITH MY GOD.
AND MY RESPONSIBILITY IS
TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS TOWN.
I BEG YOU, DON'T
SPEND THEIR MONEY,
DON'T BURDEN THEIR
EMOTIONS UNNECESSARILY.
WILLIAM GARRY SHOULD DIE FOR WHAT
HE DID. THIS TOWN SHOULD MOVE PAST THIS.
YOUR HONOR, I HAVE SPENT
MY WHOLE ADULT LIFE...
TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE MIND OF A
KILLER WORKS, HOW HE THINKS, HOW HE FEELS.
WILLIAM GARRY IS NOT CAPABLE OF
DOING THE THINGS HE'S BEEN CONVICTED OF.
ARTHUR SHAWCROSS
KILLED TWO PEOPLE,
WAS PAROLED AFTER 14 YEARS,
AND THEN MURDERED 11 INNOCENT
VICTIMS BEFORE HE WAS CAUGHT AGAIN.
WILLIAM GARRY
SLAUGHTERED HIS FAMILY.
[Huffs] GOD HELP US IF WE GIVE
HIM A CHANCE TO KILL AGAIN.
HAVE YOU TAKEN THE COURT'S TIME JUST
TO DELIVER A PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE?
THERE WERE FIVE CUTS ON
MRS. GARRY'S RIGHT HAND...
THAT DR. GELLER
TERMED "DEFENSIVE."
HERE'S HOW THEY REALLY HAPPENED.
THE FIRST TWO STROKES
PIERCE HER LEFT VENTRICLE.
THE THIRD STROKE FULLY
PENETRATES HER LEFT ATRIUM.
COMPLETELY DISABLING BLOOD FLOW.
BY THE FOURTH STROKE, SHE
HAS WEAKENED CONSIDERABLY...
AND HER HAND SLIDES
ALONG THE BLADE...
AT THIS SPECIFIC ANGLE.
THE WOUND PENETRATES
HER RIGHT VENTRICLE...
CAUSING MASSIVE BLEEDING
INTO HER PERICARDIUM.
SHE DIES SECONDS LATER.
IF YOU CHECK FORENSICS,
YOU'LL SEE THAT THESE
MARKINGS EXACTLY
MATCH THE WOUNDS ON
MRS. GARRY'S RIGHT HAND.
ARE YOU ASKING THIS
COURT TO BELIEVE THAT...
MRS. GARRY STABBED HERSELF
FOUR TIMES IN THE HEART?
A PERSON IN HER FRAME OF MIND WOULD
BE CAPABLE OF JUST ABOUT ANYTHING.
I HAD A CASE ONCE WHERE A
MAN STABBED HIMSELF 27 TIMES...
THREE TIMES IN THE
HEART... AND LIVED.
WILLIAM GARRY'S FINGERPRINTS
WERE FOUND ON THE MURDER WEAPON.
THE BLOOD OF ALL THE VICTIMS WAS
FOUND ON HIS CLOTHING AND HIS BODY.
WHY WOULD A MOTHER
KILL HER CHILDREN?
AS MAD AS IT SOUNDS,
SHE SAW HER
CHILDREN AS ANGELS...
AND WANTED TO
KEEP THEM THAT WAY.
WILLIAM GARRY HAS GONE
THROUGH DUE PROCESS,
AND QUITE FRANKLY, NOTHING
PRESENTED HERE THIS MORNING...
WOULD WARRANT AN APPEALS
COURT TO OVERTURN THAT VERDICT.
WHAT IS IT YOU'RE ASKING
THIS COURT TO DO, MR. BLACK?
BILLY.
[Frank] WHEN GARY CAME
IN FROM THE GARAGE,
THE FIRST ONE HE SAW WAS WILLIAM
JR. LYING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS.
DOLORES! BILLY. DOLORES!
[Sobs, Murmurs]
[Frank] HIS YOUNGEST CHILD,
GABE, LAY IN THE HALLWAY...
WRAPPED IN A BLOODY SHEET.
[Sobs] OHHH. DOLORES!
OHHH.
HE WENT INTO HIS
DAUGHTER'S ROOM...
AND FOUND HER DEAD AS WELL.
[Clatter] HE HEARD A NOISE.
HE RAN TO THE KITCHEN.
SHE HAD KILLED HER ANGELS, AND NOW
THERE WAS ONLY ONE THING LEFT TO DO.
[Sobbing]
[Reilly] SHE HAD STABBED
HERSELF THREE TIMES ALREADY.
SHE TOLD BILL IT WAS HIS FAULT.
SHE SAID HE MADE
HER KILL THE CHILDREN,
AND THEN SHE STABBED
HERSELF ONE LAST TIME.
HE CALLED YOU.
HE TOLD ME WHAT SHE'D DONE,
ASKED ME TO COME TO THE HOUSE.
BY THE TIME I GOT THERE, HE'D
ALREADY WRAPPED THE BODIES IN SHEETS.
HE WAS A COP.
HE KNEW THAT IF HER BODY WASN'T FOUND
NEXT TO THE CHILDREN, IT WOULDN'T FIT.
HE SAID SHE COULDN'T BEAR THE THOUGHT
OF LIVING IN A WORLD OF ADULTERERS...
MEN LIKE HIM.
IT WAS ONE NIGHT.
I KNOW. ONE NIGHT.
WILLIAM GARRY IS
THE BEST MAN I'VE EVER
KNOWN. THERE'S NOTHING
I WOULDN'T DO FOR HIM.
YOU CLEANED THE KITCHEN.
YOU SHAMPOOED THE RUG.
WHY DIDN'T YOU CLEAN THE
NUMBERS OFF THE WINDOW?
WE CLOSED THE DRAPES TO
CLEAN UP. WE DIDN'T SEE THEM.
MM-HMM.
INSTEAD OF LOOKING
FOR THE TRUTH,
THE PEOPLE OF THIS
TOWN WERE LOOKING FOR...
WHATEVER WOULD PUT THE
PAIN AND THE BLOOD BEHIND THEM.
THAT'S WHAT THEY
THOUGHT THEY NEEDED.
WHAT DO YOU NEED?
I'M A POLICE OFFICER.
SIX MONTHS AGO, I BROKE
THE LAW TO HELP MY FRIEND.
NOW YOU'RE ASKING
ME TO BETRAY HIM.
THE JUDGE IS MOVING FORWARD.
THE JURY'S GONNA COME
BACK WITH THE DEATH PENALTY.
YOU HELPED HIM ONCE.
IF YOU ARE HIS FRIEND,
YOU'LL HELP HIM AGAIN.
[Engine Starts]
[Child] I MADE THIS!
