The Forgotten s01e08 Episode Script

if I knew I was going et get murdered at 27, Would have done this so much differently.
Then again Murder's not the kind of thing you really plan for.
Don't get me wrong, I did lots of good things in my life.
I made plenty of mistakes,too.
Most were inconsequential.
But one wasn't.
S01E08 And we tried like hell on this,but It happens.
Keller has the file.
Hey,jim.
How's it going? living the dream,can't you tell? Um,russell said that you had a file for me.
- Really? - What? This was someone's daughter.
all right,boys and girls,We got a female,late 20s.
Hmm.
Still hot.
Healthy,too.
No butter,no gluten.
all right.
She had two tattoos.
One on her arm says "truth," Another near her shoulder--"strength.
" What kind of woman emblazons those two words on her body? The kind who are hipper than I was in high school.
Really? I took you for being part of the fabulous crowd.
Late bloomer.
She was either strong and honest Or vulnerable,And she got the tattoos to give her inspiration.
Or bored And felt like pissing off her father.
Well,she was found in a vacant warehouse On the south side 14 months ago.
Cause of death was asphyxiation.
M.
E.
Estimates the body was there three months, Which puts the time of death about 17 months ago.
Any personal possessions? There was a silver bracelet found on our doe's left wrist With the inscription "hope.
" it could be a first name Or a last name ootanother po word like thruth" or "strength.
" The homicide guys looked into it,but they struck out.
Lindsey,candace,that's all yours.
Walter,why don't you look into the tattoos, See if there's anything unique or unusual? Tyler,get busy on the reconstruction.
- Where you going? - Scene of the crime.
I want to know what jane doe was doing at that warehouse.
Old habits die hard for cops,huh? Don't move.
- Look,this is a-- this is a big mi-- -Shut up,meth boy.
I'm not a I'm a volunteer for the forgotten network.
Look,man,I'm--I'm unarmed.
Can you just please put the gun down? Three junkies broke in here last week,Had a 5-day meth party.
I can assure you,I am not trying to break in.
I'm a volunteer.
I'm trying to help I.
D.
The body of a g woman who was found here.
- That's why you're snooping around here? - Yes.
- Because of her? - Yes,sir.
Just--just put the gun Oh! No! Why didn't you just put the gun down? Kleiner coats went bankrupt Two months before our doe was dumped, - which means we got-- - we already talked to the owner And as many employees as we could find.
Leads.
If you ask me,either our doe or our killer had a key.
It's not easy to push a woman up and through a window That's 5 feet off the ground.
Unless the door was open.
I talked to the security guard.
He says those doors are always locked.
You should run his name,by the way.
It was,uh,mickey boyd.
He's a little odd and not in a cute way.
Oh.
Looks like you have a fan.
what can you tell me about this tattoo? Okay,it says "truth.
" now what? Anything unusual about it? Yeah,a guy in a phone company uniform is showing it to me.
- Other than that? - Not really.
You know,I read that this was The number one tattoo parlor in all chicago.
- So? - So I was hoping you'd be a little more helpful.
I'm trying to identify a dead woman--a woman your age.
Is that too uncool for you to fathom or Tattoo's okay,but the location? Armpit-shoulder? It's weird.
Why? It's an awkward angle.
The artwork doesn't present itself too well.
It's hidden from plain sight.
If she was all inked up,I get it,But for an amateur,it's bizarre.
You know,I have this-- I have this scar on my calf.
When I was a kid,I used to wear high socks in the summer Because I was self-conscious.
I wonder if our jane doe was self-conscious about something-- Maybe a mole or a birthmark,and she got a tattoo To cover it up.
Happens all the time.
I have a friend who specializes in that-- Therapeutic tattoo art.
You got an address? Any luck with missing persons? Nah.
They're still trying,But so far,the name "hope" hasn't run any bells.
What about you? Find any jewelry stores That sell nondescript silver bracelets? Only 500.
Well,hopefully our doe wasn't as ordinary as our bracelet.
You know,I have a feeling she wasn't.
I mean,anyone committed to the words "truth" And "strength" and "hope" probably stood out,In a good way.
Those are three powerful wor.
She certainly liked to motivate herself.
Or needed to motivate herself Because she was an addict Or an alcoholic.
Well,it's definitely an odd location.
The coloration isn't perfect either,Especially in the middle of the piece.
- Meaning? - Mean-- Meaning the artist was trying to conceal something.
I thought getting a sun tattoo might brighten my mood, But you can't paint over anguish.
You have to swallow it,own it, Then put it behind you and move on, And eventually,that's what I did.
Look,miko,if you got a hunch,let it rip.
utilizing artistic expression To reconcile the tangible,tragic past With the intangible,infinite future.
The sun is covering a bullet hole.
She got shot in the shoulder? It sure loohs that way to me.
Okay,so there's a chance she got shot in the shoulder.
How is that relevant to the cause of death-- Strangulation? What,you think it's a coincidence? I think it's an interesting fact that may or may not be related To the homicide.
It's rll related,grace.
If I've learned anything,It's that- there's no such thing as a coincidence, Not when there's a dead body involved.
- Mock me if you want,but-- - Ran the security guard's name-- boyd.
Two prior arrests--assault and domestic battery.
It sounds like he's worth talking to.
Is that the handsome detective? His name's nick.
He just invited me to the theater.
The theater? Wow.
If you don't go out with him,I will.
Dust off your blue blazer.
I don't date cops.
It's possible the doe was an addict.
She might have come down here to get a fix,Security guard shows up and That's a good theory,Bu but the toxicology report was tigative.
So you might want to show this guy your badge Sooner rather than later.
He's got a bit of an itchy trigger finger.
Detective russell,chicago p.
D.
You know anying about the young woman Found in this building 14 months ago? No.
I mean,I heard about it,but,you know You were working here at the time? Yes,ma'am.
Been here five years.
But you don't know anything? You never saw this young woman? Yeah,that's correct.
All t,ght,you can cut the eaglouscout routine,mickey.
We know you got two priors.
If you're lying,even a little,I'm gonna have a chat with your probation officer.
No.
Look,I don't know a damn thing.
I mean,sure,I-I've made some mistakes in the past.
But I'm straight now.
I found this great job and I work my butt off every day,And that's the truth.
All right,who else had a key to the warehouse? When the business was up and running,it was five-- The owner,the c.
F.
O.
, There's a company that delivered bottled water,c.
W.
D.
, And the janitors.
And you.
And me,yeah.
Ahem.
If you can think of anything else I just think ol' mickey likes his job a little too much.
A woman who might be an addict Winds up in an area flooded with junkies, But she's clean as a whistle.
Look at it this way-- If it were simple, we wouldn't need your help.
That's either very inspiring or truly depressing.
It was meant to be inspiring.
Good.
And if you want to keep me inspired, Find me the names of all the non-employees Who have keys to the warehouse.
Here she is,guys,our doe,When she was alive and beautiful.
Now can we please do something about finding out her name? Like now,no more excuses? Excuses? We're not-- Just a figure of speech,walter,like,uh,"just do it.
" Oh,like,"let's get it on!" exactly.
You two canvass the area near the warehouse.
A girl with these kind of looks would stand out In that sort of neighborhood.
What about the rest of us? we've got,uh,some meetings to attend.
Meetings? What kind? The kind that deals with,uh,addicts who want to stay clean.
- But-- but - Come on.
Come on.
Um,my ex-wife got remarried last week,And it hurt Bad.
But,um,I didn't have a drink Or smoke a joint.
I just allowed myself to feel the pain.
And for that,I feel great.
we're out of time.
Let's join together for the serenity prayer.
After,uh,six meetings in two hours, I pretty much know this by heart.
grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can And the wisdom to know the difference.
I just want to take another moment of your time.
Any of you recognize this girl? She was in her 20s.
She had a tattoo of the word "truth" on her arm.
I recognize her.
Her name was lee.
do you know hestlast name? No.
But I do remember one of her shares.
She talked about getting shot, And how she started drinking to cope with the stress.
Then one day she just woke up and said,"enough.
" She went to her first meeting that morning And had "truth" tattooed on her arm that aften.
And that was it.
No more booze and no more lying.
I drank to forget.
I got sober to remember.
It tas tir first and most important step On my journey to change the past.
Anything else you remember? I-I shared a cab with her once.
The only thing I remember her saying Was "some mistakes are almost impossible to undo.
" Do rou remember where she got out? Uh,uh,uh,washington and clark.
She-- she walked into this old office building.
Thank you.
Thank you.
She's been missing for about,like-- Oh,sorry.
I don't know her.
- You didn't even look.
- You calling me a liar? You think you'd do this if you liked your real job? If I liked my real job? I don't even know how to answer that hypothetical.
Okay.
Say you're designing clothes for prada.
You know,do you still think you'd be skipping out In the middle of the day, handing out flyers? I do this because I want to help.
But would you want to help so much if you loved your job? You know,I stopped ging to therapy last year, But thanks for caring.
It's not a hard question.
How abouffcoffee? Two,please.
I've seen her before.
You know her? She ordered coffee a few times.
I thought she was that movie star-- You know,the one,uh,with all the kids from africa? Angelina jolie? That's the one.
Do you know her name? No.
I just remember that she asked for directions To franklin gardens.
The housing project? No,the mansion on lake michigan.
Did you guys talk about anything else? no,that was it.
Alex,what's up? Office building on the corner of washington and clark.
Okay,we're on our way Thank you.
Excuse me.
Hi.
Uh,I was wondering if you could help me out.
Uh,could you please check your database For someone with the first name "lee"? She might have been a victim of a violent crime.
This is the public defender's office, sweetie,not google.
We need a last name.
Yeah,that's the problem.
I need to use the first name to get the last name.
Public defender's office.
Excuse me.
Uh,have you seen this woman? Her name was lee,And,uh, she had a tattoo on-- on her right arm.
- It said - "truth.
" I met her.
Yeah,about two years ago.
Are you a lawyer? Probation officer.
Name's jack driscoll.
Well,how'd you meet She was yelling at a clerk.
"I want justice,not excuses.
" I thought that was a pretty good line.
I was no longer interested in excuses, Apathy,bureaucratic inefficiency.
A man's life was hanging in the balance, And it was my job to save him.
Yeah,she was feisty And gorgeous.
But her first name was ashley.
It wasn't lee.
Don't know her last name.
Do you remember anything else? Yeah,she had a gun in her purse.
How'd you know she had a gun? - We had lunch once,And it was a nightmare.
- In what way? Well,to be honest,I was trying to impress her, So I told a little fib.
What could I say? She was hot.
We got that already.
So what happened? She said she needed help, um,introductions To powerful people-- lawyers,cops,journalists, Uh,people who could get stuff done.
What kind of stuff? Legal stuff.
I asked her for details, but she played it close to the vest And said the issue was very sensitive.
So what was the lie you told her? Well,I told her I had a friend who was a big-shot attorney.
But you were talking out of your ass.
And then the guy's secretary calls while we're at lunch, Tells ashley he never heard of me.
So she freaks out,takes off.
I go after her.
I grab her arm,and psycho girl reaches into her purse And pulls out this gun and says, "if you ever touch me again,I will kill you.
" And she meant it.
you know,the thing that pisses me off was That I was actually trying to help her.
The day before,I set up a meeting With her and this newspaper guy that I know, actually know.
She was trying to track down a public defender.
She wanted justice,not excuses.
She was also trying to get introductions To people who could get stuff done.
Legal stuff.
Plus,she had a gun in her bag.
I love this woman.
So the real question is Why was ashley looking for a public defender? I mean,they represent defendants,not victims.
Maybe she committed a crime.
Or was thinking of committing one.
What do you mean? Well,maybe she was tired of being afraid.
Right? I mean,she never got over the fact That some guy popped a cap in her wing.
Her wing? But why go to the public defender's office? To find out the best way to kill the guy and not to jail.
She was asking for directions to franklin gardens,right? Okay,so maybe the guy that shot her lived there.
She was going to look for him.
- Why? - revenge.
Okay,so you think ashley Was at the p.
D.
's office trying to figure out How to legally kill the guy who shot her? It's a theory.
what ever happened to the safe room concept here? oh,good news.
The woman from cheap and hip just texted me.
She remembers selling a silver bracelet to ashley.
You want me to go with her? No.
No,driscoll's journalist friend called about an hour ago.
He wants to meet at his favorite hot dog joint.
Oh,I like hot dogs.
I remember asking her about the inscription-- "hope.
" Right.
Yeah,she liked the mantras.
"hope" was the name of her friend.
A friend? Did she elaborate? No.
She just said hope was a special friend.
Like romantic? Nom not sure.
I loved hope more than I can describe.
When she went away,I needed someone to hate, Soone to blame, Someone to punish.
So I did what I had to do.
It all made perfect sense at the time.
Do you remember anything else? Not really.
Except that she was sad.
When she talked about hope,she started crying,Really crying.
she had a huge story for me, One that would make me famous.
still waiting.
She give you any details? It wel related to a murder case,but that's all I know.
I I pushed,too,believe m.
You know how hard it is To to aet a scoopsehese day, with all this twitter crap.
Uh,anything else? She said there were Lots of prominent chicago players involved And that she was hoping they were gonna help out, But she had serious doubts.
So you were her insurance policy.
If she couldn't get the big boys to play ball, You were gonna write an expos? Precisely.
She was shrewd,too.
Gave me just enough info to get me excited, But not enough for me to run with it on my own.
Did you get her phone number or e-mail address? No.
She was gonna call me the following week, After she talked to this judge,her friend's father.
He was her last chance at fixing the problem the "easy way"-- Her words.
And if that didn't work? She was ready to go to war.
I was gonna launch the first missile.
Was her best friend's name hope? Yeah,I think it was.
Excuse me.
Are you a lawyer? Sorry.
Married.
No.
That's not what I You know what? At least I'm trying.
Absolutely What is that supposed to mean? Relax.
I'm just playing around.
Don't tell me I hit a nerve with that prada hypo.
Please.
I did,didn't I? Yeah,you're so in my head,dude,It's totally freaky.
Looks like a lawyer.
Excuse me.
I work with a group called the forgotten network.
We help identify john and jane does.
That's great,but I'm not interested in donating-- I'm not looking for money.
I'm looking for the name of a judge Who has a daughter named hope.
Judge cooperman.
Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to meet with me,your honor.
I appreciate it.
I understand you had a question about one of hope's friends.
Yeah.
Do you,uh,do you recognize her? Sure.
That's ashley kemp.
Is she yes.
Do you think I could, uh,speak with your daughter about ashley? I'm afraid not.
Hope was murdered five years ago.
They'd,um, They'd just finished having dinner To celebrate hope's Engagement.
And this man-- this Animal He shot ashley in the shoulder and hope in the chest.
Ashley was a terrific young wom -- Bright,passionate.
Unfortunately,She seemed to *** Did you,by any chance, appen to talk with her about 17,18 months ago? No.
We were supposed to have lunch a while back, But she didn't show up.
She either forgot or Like I said,she lost her w.
If there's anything I can do,please let me know Thank you.
Truly sorry for your loss.
So she graduated from oberlin college In 2003,magna cum laude.
Went to law school at northwestern for a year in 2005.
Same year her and her friend were shot by chris rowe.
Who was convicted for murder in December '05-- Life sentence,no possibility for parole.
Prosecutor's name was james steele.
Well,you shoot a judge's daughter,you're gonna pay.
She was married in Ex-husband's name is david andrews.
well,I found her social network page.
Says here she was writing a memoir.
And we have no idea what she was trying to accomplish, Other than meet important people who could do legal stuff.
But she knew one,right? An important one-- judge cooperman.
Unless he was one of the chicago big shots Who wouldn't help out.
See if you can find her address.
Maybe you guys can talk to the landlord, Get some of her personal items.
She was writing a memoir-- It's gonna be up to us to figure out the final chapter.
I'll reopen the homicide investigation.
Did you locate next of kin? No immediate family in the area.
Best we could do is an ex-husband Living in,uh,highland park.
Feel like taking a ride? Yeah.
He handles rejection well.
More mature than I ever was.
Be-looking,too.
And taller.
It's no wonder you'll never date him.
Your point? Why don't you get out of your comfort zone a little? You might like it.
Have an address for the ex-husband? It's horrible.
I didn't even know she was missing.
When's the last time you saw her? About three years ago.
We sort of lost touch after the divorce.
Were you paying her alimony? No.
I offered,but ashley refused.
Do you mind if I ask,why did you guys get divorced? It's complicated,but the simple answer is I kept hoping oufelife would get better after the trial.
Unfortunately,it got worse.
After the trial? That's when she started drinking.
Did anything unusual happen during the trial? Not really.
She was nervous about testifying,but Ashley was an amazing woman.
I fell in love with david the moment I met him.
But after the shooting, I began to resent him for not being omniscient, For not knowing what really happened that night.
It's not fair,of course,but that's what happened.
She would have been a great lawyer,too.
She wanted to be a public defender.
Can you believe that? She actually wanted to represent scum like this guy row Is there anythelg else you could think of That might be helpful? No.
Nothing.
Sorry,uh,I have a conference call,so Really? A conference call? I loved her more than anything in the world,detective, But the real ashley-- the one I fell in loit with-- She died years ago.
As an ex-husband,you should be ashamed of that guy.
What does that mean? Well,men are complicated, Especially when it comes to dealing with emotions.
Ashley kemp's personal possessions.
,detective russell wanted us to give them to you.
Oh.
Thanks.
So Can we look at them? Now? one of us wanted to Look at them before we came here, But we really like to play by the rules.
Well,great.
The rules say police look at encdence before civilians.
Look,without us,You wouldn't even haveook at encd ashley's name.
What do you want me to do with these volunteers? Help them.
Seriously? Seriously.
Do you see anything in ashley's computer That's titled "memoir" or "novel"? There are about 3,000 files here.
Yeah,what about google searches? Like web sites visited,stuff like that? The last u.
R.
L.
She visited was The chicago public defender's office.
Before that? The statesville correctional center.
and before that,something called winstonandkirk.
om.
That's,uh,a law firm A place where hotshot prosecutors go When they're tired of being middle class-- Prosecutors like james steele.
Walter,uh,it's me.
I need you to get over to Winston and kirk and track down james steele.
The prosecutor who called ashley to testify? Ex-prosecutor.
Looks like he's moved up in the world, And ashley met with him right before her death.
All right,sure thing.
I'll meet you there.
- I can't do it.
I gotta drive out to statesville.
- See ya.
- yo,where you going? - Text me *** Like I said,you need to maken appointment.
This woman was murdered.
If you don't leave right now,I'm calling the police.

I'm sorry.
Who'd you say you were gocna call? I need to talk to james steele,now.
Stay here.
She was a great witness-- strong,confident.
When's the last time you saw her? I'm not sure.
Didn't you two talk after the trial? We may have,but I'm not certain.
You're not under oath,mr.
Steele.
I just want to know if you talked to ashley Around the time of her death,that's it.
There's no hidden agenda here.
I'm sorry.
I don't recall.
Look,I'm just trying to be as honest as I can.
Of course.
he knows you're coming,mr.
Donovan.
Chris rowe? Yes.
Did ashley kemp ever come visit you? Sure did.
17 months ago.
What did she want? Forgiveness.
Forgiveness? Shu shot her in the shou d and murdered her best friend, But she wanted you to forgive her? Correct.
Why is that? Because she knew I was innocent.
Ashley was trying to get your conviction overturned? Absolutely.
She talked to the judge,the prosecutor.
She even talked to her friend's father Another judge-- cooperman.
But no one wanted to help.
So she talked to all these people to get you out of here? Yes,sir.
But she wasn't about to give up,either.
She had a plan.
Told me if these people didn't come around, She was gonna tell the world what really happened.
Had a newspaperman ready to go and everything.
If she knew you were innocent, Why'd she testify against you in the first place? Steele talked her into it.
Told her they had foolproof evidence against me.
Is that your-- your child? My son's birthday.
You have kids? Yeah.
Knowing he's out there waiting on me Is the only thing that gets me through the day.
His mother tells me he's a heck of a baseball player,too.
Hey.
You never told me what happened with ashley.
I was waiting for her to come back,but She's dead.
Someone killed her.
I just thought she changed her mind aut helping Because of all the pressure from above.
Not from what I can tell.
That couldn't be furthest from the truth Ashley tried like hell to overturn your conviction.
Now it's my turn to give it a shot.
Thank you.
She was trying to get chris rowe out of prison? You think that was connected with the murder? That someone found out what she was trying to do and killed her? Yeah,like steele or cooperman.
Are you serious? It's possible,walter,But that's chicago p.
D.
's concern.
Right nowur job Is to confirm that chris was telling the truth, And if he is,finish what ashley started And get him out of prison.
Check the,uh,court rdsords, Transcripts,witness lists,motions.
We need to understand why the jury convicted him.
Talk to drew again.
Tell him we might be on to That huge scp he was looking for.
For real? If we're gonna pull this off,we need help.
Prosecutors and judges don't like to Pull down their own pants.
Head out to statesville,talk to chris again.
Ask him about his lawyer,his alibi,his defense.
And you? You're coming with me.
I knew my husband didn't shoot as oey oatthat other lady.
He's a good man,a strong man.
He's been inside four years,and he's still not bitter.
I don't know where he gets the strength.
Yeah,welli do.
That's why hated ashley-- In the beginning,anyway-- for taking away his daddy.
But the more I talked ther, The more I knew she was a good woman.
Did you ever talk to anyone before About trying to get chris out of prison-- the d.
A.
's office, The,uh,public defender's office? I talked to everyone in the damn city, But no one would believe me - What's up,little man? - Even chris' lawyer.
This is donny,chris' cousin.
It's nice to meet you all.
If it weren't for him,we'd be in real trouble.
He moved in when chris went away to help with the bills.
You guys with the police? No,no,we're,uh,we're volunteers.
We're trying to help get chris out of prison.
Bless you.
Thank you.
My father-- he got shot ten years ago.
That's why I look after ron the way I do.
I know what it's like to grow up without a man in the house.
Well,hopefully,he'll get to grow up With two men in the house Soon.
Amen.
I can't believe chris' lawyer didn't help.
easy to get jaded.
has that happened to you? we need to find diana and chris a new lawyer-- Someone smart,energetic Optimistic.
And willing to work for free.
Try the,uh,a.
C.
L.
U.
,the innocence project.
Hey,what about steele? Shouldn' twe talk to him again? I mean,he's the guy who tried the damn case.
I'm on my way.
So you haven't talked to ashley kemp since the trial? Like I told detective russell I don't recall.
right.
You don't recall.
What's the problem,steele? You afraid to tell cooperman that you screwed up? You worried that convicting an innocent man of murder Might hurt your chances at running for the senate? Are you suggesting that I killed ashley? I'm suggesting that your lack of cooperation-- I agreed to speak with you as a courtesy.
If you're gonna make baseless accusations-- *** That she had rvaervations about testifying.
- So? - She didn't think chris was the shooter.
You and cooperman talked her into it.
Witnesses always have doubts.
It's natural.
It's human.
So you're right.
Ashley wasn't certain that rowe shot her, But I was,and I still am.
Steele didn't believe a word I said.
He thought I was just another stressed-out chick With anxiety issues.
So I told the bastard I'd get chris out of prison myself.
Take a look for yourself.
The evidence was overwhelming.
A witness saw rowe near the crime scene.
Rowe didn't have a credible alibi.
Ashley saw a tattoo of a date on the shooter's arm.
Rowe has a tattoo of a date on his arm.
He's not the only rowe with a tattoo.
Half of chicago has a date tattooed to their arm.
Trust me.
It matters.
Okay,his name is donny rowe.
He's no angel.
Two priors-- drug possession and assault.
Remember that list you asked about? People with keys to the warehouse? Yeah.
Guess who worked for the janitorial services firm In charge of kleiner coats? Son of a bitch.
He lets his cousin take the fall.
Ashley shows up out of the blue And tries to overturn the conviction.
Maybe she recognizes him,he gets nervous,he kills her.
Now we just have to prove it.
**** One of the last people to speak to ashley before If you can tell us the details of your conversation, It might help with the murder investigation.
We talked about how to get chris out of prison.
She'd already met with steele, But he wasn't interested in helping.
Neither was her friend's father,the judge.
Son of a bitch told her she needed psychiatric help.
Did she tell you Where she was going later that day,the next morning? Yeah,to hunt down chris' lawyer And convince his lazy, ambulae-chasing ass To file an appeal.
She'd been trying to find for a while,but Was there anyone else there when you had the conversation With ashley? No onejust me and donny.
.
What's the lawyer's name? - Frank scola.

Like I said on the phone, I would have helped chris out in a second if I knew he was-- Ashley had a meeting with you,and she never showed up? Yeah.
She called my secretary that morning And said she was running late.
She never made it in.
That was the last time she made contact with you? Yes.

There's our boy donny,right on time.
And here comes ashley.

donny rowe,chicago police.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Shut up.
this is the police! Open the door! *** You're under arrest for the murder of ashley kemp.
We have you on video pushing ashley into your car.
The tape doesn't lie,donny.
If this goes to trial,you're looking at the death penalty.
So this is your time to talk,Right here,right now.
I-I was hooked on drugs Ba Edneeded some cash.
it's funny how one event Can alter the course of your life.
Sure,james steele and judge cooperman Talked me into it,but I was a willing participant.
I wanted vengeance,justice, So I convinced myself I was telling the truth.
But deep down,in the quiet of the night, I knew that I wasn't.
With one simple point of a finger, I stole a man's dignity, His freedom.
It was my obligation to give it back to him.
I almost succeeded,too.
how is it going with chris? Steele filed a habeas corpus motion this morning.
That piece in the "tribune" got him fired up,huh? Well,the truth was coming out anyway, So he got out in front of it And put a noble,self-serving spin on the whole thing.
Where you going? The theater.
Though I never spent a night in jail, I was a prisonto,too-- Trapped in the cell of my own weakness and guilt.
But not anymore.
Like chris rowe, I'm finally free.
You guys saved my life.
My answer's yes.
- To what? - The prada hypo.
No matter where I work,I'll still want to do this.
When I was a first-year law student, I used to say that the only thing worth dying for Is the truth.
I still believe that.
My name is ashley kemp.
