Unforgettable s01e15 Episode Script
The Following Sea
Hey there.
Do you see this women around? Hey, sir, just a moment of your time? I'm looking for Kate Jordan.
Okay, City Island in the news again today, as the Joe Hagan murder trial continues in Queens.
Our own Anne Austin is there.
That's right, Jim.
They've broken for lunch here at court.
As you know, City Island real-estate mogul Joe Hagan stands accused of murdering his wife, Nora, while boating off the coast of Long Island in August of 2010.
Queens homicide detective, Al Burns, was on the stand first today.
Wait a second, I think we have something, Jim.
That's District Attorney Mark Adams.
Mark, how do you think it went in there today? We've got a ways to go, Anne, but I'm confident this jury will do the right thing.
Mr.
Feldman, Mr.
Hagan, what do you think of the State's case? - Any word on Kate? - Not yet.
But I got my team all over it.
We need her, Al.
I can't afford to lose another witness.
If Kate can't give us Hagan threatening his wife We don't stand a chance, I know.
We're gonna find her.
Certain individuals seized on this tragedy to Are you talking about the District Attorney's office? I'm talking about him.
Lieutenant, what are you trying to do to me? You know I never laid a hand on my wife.
I loved her; I couldn't, and you know that.
- So, why are you lying? - Joe, Joe Ask him right now why is he lying.
You killed your wife, Joe Hagan.
You pushed her off your boat, and you watched her drown.
Our witness, Kate Jordan, has specifically flown in from Cleveland to testify that Joe Hagan had a history of physically attacking - and threatening his wife.
- That's not true! Well, happily, for the citizens of New York, what you believe is immaterial.
Let's go, Joe.
Your guys who were prepping her, any sense something was up? She was nervous.
They put it down to trial jitters.
That's it.
Now, Joe Hagan is a beloved resident of City Island.
He lost his wife in a terrible accident Kate Jordan.
Find her, Lieutenant.
Excuse me, have you seen this woman? Hey, excuse me, ma'am, you seen this woman by chance? Kate Jordan? Happen to know her? Maybe you saw her? - No? - Nothing at all? Are you sure? - No.
- Seen Kate Jordan? Excuse me, sir, name's Kate Jordan, she used to work around here.
Never heard of her.
Hey! I'm asking you a question, pal.
Have you seen Kate Jordan? Today's the day she testifies, all right? So, go check at court.
You should be on TV; anybody ever tell you that? Oops, you are.
Not my finest performance, You were great.
- That guy's a thug.
- What are you doing here? I don't know, came to cheer you up, see if I could lend a hand.
Yeah? You got a witness in your pocket? No, I'm just happy to see you.
They haven't found her yet? And no one on the island's talking.
Kate spent her whole life with those people, it's like she never existed.
What the hell does Hagan have on them anyway? Guy owns the place.
Nobody makes a buck on City Island, Joe Hagan doesn't take his cut.
Money buys silence, money buys love.
It's been going on for years.
My first month on the job, we found a floater up by the Throgs Neck, evidence of sexual assault.
She was seen leaving a club with Hagan earlier in the night.
Tons of witnesses, nobody came forward.
M.
E.
said possible suicide.
That's what I had to tell the mom.
Yeah, so enough is enough.
Yeah, enough is enough.
Sir, can I see some ID? Back in court.
Maybe Adams can buy us some time.
Missing? How exactly is she missing, Mr.
Adams? We're not sure, Your Honor.
Kate Jordan came into town obviously intending to testify; something has happened.
We're just asking for a little time to figure out what that is.
Come on, Mark, you lost a witness.
That's not anyone's fault but yours.
Yeah, where exactly was your client last night? Gentlemen.
Innuendo aside, Your Honor, I would ask that jeopardy attach and that this case be declared a mistrial.
Your Honor, the State is asking for two days.
Lieutenant Burns is directing our efforts to locate Ms.
Jordan.
How about it, Lieutenant? Do you think you have a shot? Absolutely, we'll find her.
You're right.
Your client has a right to his day in court.
But the interests of justice will not be harmed in granting a two-day recess.
That's all you get, guys.
enough time for me to get through season four of Mad Men.
Now go.
Okay, thanks.
I'll let him know.
Yeah, bye.
- Hey.
- We got 48 hours.
All right, well, we may not need it.
Nina just found Kate's hotel.
NYPD.
Kate, it's Al Burns.
Well, the shower's been running, but I don't think she got in it.
The towels haven't been touched.
No ID, no wallet or keys.
You smell that? Certainly not chloroform.
Angel Mist.
That's, like, $200 a bottle perfume.
Nice stuff.
Guys, Jordan's rental car left the garage at 11:44.
But this is interesting.
Manager says an emergency door to the garage from the street was tripped last night around 15 minutes before.
They know if it was coming or going? No.
So, she checks in, runs a shower, then disappears.
Yeah, so she got spooked, or she got grabbed.
Or both.
UNFORGETTABLE S01 Ep.
15 - The Following Sea You really don't thint that is a case without her testimony? The problem's always been, we can't be sure what happened on that boat.
And the only other person on board, Hagan's pal Clancy Watts, is gonna back up Hagan's version of the events.
Which is exactly why Kate Jordan is so critical.
Her testimony is that three days before the murder, she witnessed Hagan hit his wife and specifically threaten to throw her into the river.
Yeah, yeah That's violence, and an actual death threat.
Yeah, lots of guys say they're going to kill their wives, but how were you guys gonna prove that he actually went through with it? Currents.
Excuse me? Well, more precisely, current patterns.
Here.
D.
A.
's office prepared this for trial.
It's a 3-D representation of what we think happened the night of the murder.
Avatar, it's not, but I think it gives Tintin a run for the money.
Hagan says he invited Nora out for a romantic cruise.
Clancy Watts comes along to crew.
Watts says at 9:30, Nora went top side to get some fresh air after too much champagne.
Watts and Hagan start up a poker game down in the cabin.
Hagan says he checked on Nora every 15 minutes.
Watts will testify he could hear Hagan talking to her until 10:15 when Hagan went to check and then came running back down to tell him Nora was gone.
They called the Coast Guard.
They start searching.
The only problem, we know that she went over 30 minutes before Hagan said.
How'd you figure? Like I said.
Current patterns.
If she'd gone over when they claimed, she'd have drifted up into the Sound.
Instead, she washed up on the lovely shores of Queens.
Plus, there's the matter of the deck railing.
Nora Hagan was five foot two.
The railing on the deck, came up to four inches below her chin.
There's no way you go over that by accident.
But with a little help Okay, so then why didn't just show this to the jury? Judge ruled it inadmissible.
She said that it was too prejudicial.
Which is why we need Kate Jordan.
I found it.
You found what? The original forensic file for the Nora Hagan murder.
I didn't know you were looking for it.
Detective Wells asked me.
- She did, - I did.
I appreciate it, but right now, the priority is Kate Jordan.
What happens if we can't find Kate Jordan? If the judge doesn't dismiss, we'll go ahead with what we have.
Lieutenant, what you have and two-fifty will get you on the E train.
- Sorry.
- So, you're gonna re-examine all the old forensics and come up with a new case in What, you want it faster? You're really good.
We already know what's in this file.
No evidence Hagan drugged his wife, some bruising on Nora's arms but not enough to positively say they struggled.
Not very helpful.
Then it can't hurt if we take a look at it again.
Excuse me, but it can hurt.
We've already filed our forensics evidence with the court.
If you come up with any new conclusions that damage our case even a little bit, we got to turn that over to the defense.
Lieutenant, with all due respect, if Kate Jordan doesn't show up, your case is already damaged, and not just a little.
All right, knock yourself out.
But listen, no more tag teams, you two.
What? What are those? I thought I'd go back, take a look at the people who knew Kate Jordan.
Who's she? Gwen Turning.
She was a roommate before Kate went to Ohio.
She was not very cooperative first time through, so maybe worth another look.
That's what I had to tell the mom.
So, yeah enough is enough.
Back in court.
Maybe Adams can buy us some time.
She was at the courthouse.
She went up to a guy, average looking, sandy hair, charcoal gray suit.
One of these two? Him.
Well, that is Clancy Watts.
He was the other person on the boat the night Nora died.
I couldn't really hear what they were saying, but I think she was asking him if he knew where Kate Jordan was.
Why did she think he knew? Good question.
Hi, Gwen.
I don't got anything to say to you, Lieutenant.
I went to Kate's hotel.
She's gone.
We think Hagan's involved.
Oh, my God.
I cannot be talking to you.
If Mr.
Hagan hears about it, I'll lose my job.
Why do you think I followed you all the way out to Arthur Avenue so no one would see us? Come on, Gwen.
Help me out here.
I don't know where she is.
I thought she was going to be there this morning.
But you thought Clancy Watts would know.
You asked him at court this morning.
They were friends before Nora died.
I don't know.
I thought maybe she might have been in touch with him.
Look, I got a doctor's appointment, all right? I got to get going.
Gwen, I'm not asking you to help me get Hagan.
I know you can't do that.
But you lived with Kate for three years.
I know you want me to find her, make sure she's okay.
All right, she called me last week, right? She told me she's coming into town for the trial.
She She said she was going to change her testimony.
Change it? Change it how? I don't know.
I didn't ask.
I don't want to know.
What did you think she meant she was going to testify for Hagan? I swear, I don't know.
She tell anybody else? She didn't say.
- Think she's okay now, right? - I don't know.
Thanks for your help, Gwen.
Yeah.
So, you don't know anything, Mr.
Watts? About Kate Jordan, no.
Any idea where she might be? Look, guys, I appreciate that you're looking for her, but you do realize I'm testifying for Joe Hagan in all this.
Yeah.
We got that, but doesn't mean you're not a decent guy who'd want to help find a woman who went missing yesterday.
Look, I barely know Kate Jordan, so, no, I have no idea where she is.
Well, it's just a funny thing, then, 'Cause Gwen Turning seems to think you two are friends.
Sorry I can't be of any more help to you guys.
Now, there goes a guy with more to say.
You get anything? Yeah, let's see.
Ten of Hagan's employees refused to talk to me.
Eight threw profanity in my general direction.
And a kindly elderly woman told me Joe Hagan is a saint, and I should burn in hell for suggesting otherwise.
Yeah.
You got that kind of face.
What? I'm Lieutenant Al Burns, and I'm interviewing Kate Jordan on August 14, 2010.
So, did the D.
A.
's office know anything about Kate changing her testimony? She never notified them.
It's the right thing to do All right, what are we looking for? - You tell me.
- Okay.
Where do you work? At Joe Hagan's showroom in the office.
You know, she's younger than I thought.
She turned 24 when we were prepping.
Three years.
Mr.
Hagan hired me when I graduated from BCC.
How well did you know Nora Hagan? Not too well.
I'd see her around the office now and then.
And what did you see the Tuesday before she died? It was late, and I heard an argument.
It was Joe It was Mr.
and Mrs.
Hagan.
They were in Mr.
Hagan's office.
What was the argument about? I can see why she makes a good witness.
She's brave going up against Hagan.
And against the people in town.
I'm not sure exactly, but Mrs.
Hagan called him a liar, and he hit her.
She got a lot of grief when she agreed to testify for us.
Ended up moving off the island, eventually out of state.
You saw him hit her? No, but I heard it.
She started to cry.
And when she came out after, she was she was she was holding her hand over her eye, you know, like-like this.
And what happened after he hit her? She told him she was gonna leave him, and then he said if she tried, he'd make sure they found her body at the bottom of the East River.
Kate, is there anything else you can tell me that relates to Nora Hagan's murder? Do you see anything? No.
Here, give me that for a sec.
Kate, is there anything else you can tell me that relates to Nora Hagan's murder? No.
Right there.
See that? Now, why does she take so long to answer you when you ask her if there's anything else? I was wondering that, too.
Hey.
Got the rundown on the hotel phone.
Kate did call Clancy Watts yesterday afternoon around 3:00.
Nice of him to mention that to Mike and Roe.
Yeah.
Perhaps more importantly, she got a call herself later, only seven minutes before the emergency door got tripped at the hotel garage.
We know from who? Burner cell.
Trying to track it.
Nice work.
I want Clancy Watts in the box.
This guy's in it up to his eyeballs.
Clancy and Hagan have been friends since high school.
He makes his living running Hagan's marina.
Now, if he's willing to lie under oath about Hagan's wife, he's not gonna give us anything about Kate Jordan.
I can get him to talk.
He's a witness, Al.
We can't have him showing up with a black eye.
I didn't mean that.
Whatever you meant, I think I may have a better idea.
Alright, look, Clancy is not gonna talk to us.
There's no way it's gonna happen.
So? Maybe he'll talk to someone else.
There's that tone again.
What tone? The one with which you propose the half-baked idea which makes no sense to anyone but you, which could easily get us both fired, but no matter what I say, you go and do it anyway.
That tone.
I'm not familiar with that tone.
There it is again.
Be careful! I got her here.
There you go.
You can tie it off on the back there.
Okay.
I'm glad you guys weren't closed for the season.
I would have drifted all the way to Italy.
Happy to help.
Clancy Watts Hannah Ashworth.
Nice to meet you.
Welcome to City Island.
- Thanks.
- You good back there? Yeah, fine.
All right, I'll meet up in the office.
All right.
Thank you.
The buyer was insistent I get her to Newport as soon as possible.
He wants to re-bed the deck, the whole deck, before the start of the season.
Where you up from? Hilton Head.
I figured even with weather, it'd take me about a week, I'd still make my dentist appointment next Tuesday, no problem.
But with all that play in the wheel, can't really ignore it.
Yeah, no fun drifting into a shipping lane.
Yeah, it's probably just your, uh your head gears are worn.
Well, maybe just remove a shim or two, you know, eliminate some of the slack.
He can have his guy replace the whole pedestal.
So, you been on the island a long time? I grew up here, so, uh, yeah, basically since I could walk.
Yeah? Good people? Yeah.
Mostly.
Here.
Thanks.
So, I guess I'll just sleep on the boat until she's ready if that's okay? Yeah.
I'll get you some juice for your heater.
Great.
Anywhere good to eat around here? Food's one thing we got.
It's a little walk down the avenue, though.
If you want something closer, there's a deli across the street makes a pretty good sandwich.
Great.
Thank you for you help.
I appreciate it.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Ahoy.
Ahoy there, Ahab.
How are things? Apparently, my head gear's a little worn.
I could have told you that.
What about Clancy? Well, I talked to him a little.
I'm not sure what, but the guy's definitely got something on his mind, that's for sure.
Just be careful, okay? Hey, careful is my middle name.
How about you? Any luck on Kate's phone? Still haven't located it.
Tanya's doing her magic, but no luck yet.
Hey, I was just looking for you.
Well, finding me at my desk does make it a bit less of an achievement, Which doesn't mean I don't think you're not excellent at finding things, generally.
It's sort of your job.
Okay, so, I've been using your girl Kate's cell phone data to pinpoint her movements last night.
I can track her from the airport to the hotel.
Late afternoon, she went somewhere in Queens.
I'm still working on figuring out where.
Then it looks like she returned to the hotel for a few hours.
And then, she moved north through a tower here, here and here.
Looks like she's driving along the Belt Parkway.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but then her cell phone went offline around midnight.
Poof.
Exactly.
That was That was my poof gesture.
There's a tower here.
She either took the battery out of her cell phone before she got within a mile of the tower, or she never got within a mile of it.
All right, so, she could be between - here and here.
- Exactly.
Nice job, T.
That was my, um nice job gesture.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
- You called? - Where's Wells? She's working undercover, so she asked me to see if I could help.
And you are? The one who hates it when people don't remember her name.
Do you swim, Detective? Never learned.
The Talmud says, a parent's most important job is to teach their children to swim.
Literally or figuratively? I'm a good swimmer.
In a pool, two miles.
Open water, a little over a mile.
Nora Hagan was from a fishing dynasty on City Island, so, undoubtedly, she could swim.
And according to the autopsy, she was much more fit than I.
So, with summer waters and favorable currents, she never make it to the shore.
How come? There another Talmud story coming? The gas chromatography tox results are in.
She did have tropane alkaloids in her system.
The old M.
E.
who not to cast aspersions was a moron, indicated scopolamine.
Seasickness meds.
Common stuff.
Yeah, that does seem a little strange for a woman who spends her whole life on the water.
Indeed.
So, I want you to sign this request giving me the opportunity to run a very different and very expensive test.
I should probably ask the lieutenant.
Or you could swim.
Pros and cons, Billy B.
? Yeah, you know, so I can make a decision about whether to stay with Claire Anne because honestly, she's breaking my heart, and, look, lot more cons than pros.
We did try to warn you, Billy.
Yeah.
Hey, what's up, Clance? Hey, we've been over every inch of this place.
There's no sign of Kate or her car.
Either Tanya got the data wrong or What's that right there? Is that what I think it is? Get a crane and some divers.
Hey.
Fancy meeting you here.
Hey, what's up? You were right, by the way.
City Island has the best food ever.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
How's it going with the boat? Any news? Actually I spoke with a shop out in Port Washington.
They have the gears we need.
- Great.
- They're gonna send 'em out.
- Probably be here tomorrow.
- Excellent.
Hey, um, can I get you a? Thanks, a club soda.
Club soda.
Hitting the hard stuff, right? You smell that? Angel Mist.
That's, like, $200 a bottle.
Angel Mist.
Excuse me? The perfume.
It's, uh wow, it kind of suits you.
No, um, it's, uh must be a friend of mine's.
A girl friend of yours, I'm assuming.
It's over.
Carrie? Carrie? I'm so sorry to interrupt.
It's my dad calling.
Do you mind? - Please take it.
- Okay, thank you.
Hey, Dad, how's it going? What's going on? Listen, Gwen Turning said that Kate Jordan and Clancy were friends, right? - Yeah.
- Well, I'm telling you right now, they were more than friends.
He's got her perfume all over his sweatshirt.
Well, whatever they were, it's over.
She's dead.
What? Okay, so here's my theory.
Kate Jordan comes into town, Hagan gets his buddy Clancy to be the bait, he gets her out of her hotel room, they take a drive, end of Kate Jordan.
Well, I took another run at Gwen the ex-roommate.
She admitted Kate and Clancy had a pretty heavy affair before Nora Hagan was murdered.
She said they broke up 'cause Clancy wasn't happy that Kate was gonna be a witness against Hagan.
Well, of course Gwen never mentioned any of this to Al.
Yeah, well, for what it's worth, she says she kept quiet 'cause she still thinks that Clancy's a good guy, that he would never hurt Kate.
He's not a good guy, he's a scumbag.
We got two murdered women.
Clancy Watts is dead center both times.
He was on that boat, he lied to save Hagan's ass, and now he's killed for him.
What'd you hear from the D.
A.
's office about the trial? Nothing good unless we got something real to tie Hagan with Kate Jordan's death.
Even if the judge lets 'em go forward with the trial, there's no jury's going to convict with what we got left.
Doesn't matter.
I want Hagan and Watts for Kate Jordan's murder.
She was brave enough to stand up to him.
We can't let him win.
Al, Kate Jordan's death hasn't broken in the press.
Now, I-if Clancy thinks that we don't know yet, we might be able to get him in here.
Let's try it.
Hi, David.
Thanks for coming in, Clancy.
You said you wanted to clarify certain aspects of Mr.
Watts' original statements? That's right, specifically why Mr.
Watts never indicated that he had a personal relationship with Kate Jordan.
I don't understand.
Were you romantically involved with Kate Jordan? You don't have to answer that.
That's right, you don't, but unless you want us to bring it up on cross-examination, in which case it'll become part of the very public record, might want to deal with it now.
Look, Kate and I have known each other for a long time.
All right, she used to work her high school summers at the marina.
You two get together back then? I was too old for her back then.
She wasn't interested in me.
At least not until after you were married, right? Look, things between Kate and I ended over a year ago.
But she's back in town for the Hagan trial.
Did you see her while she's here? You know where she's staying? Yeah, as a matter of fact, I did.
I dropped by her hotel.
What'd you two kids talk about? You're straying pretty far afield here.
Things didn't end great between us.
I had always wanted to say I was sorry, so I figured it was better to do in person.
Did you see Kate Jordan again after you left her hotel room? Wait a minute, you guys don't think I had anything to do with her going missing? She's not missing, Clancy.
She was murdered.
What? Okay, let's go.
- She's she's dead? - No, not another word.
Let's go, Clancy.
I said let's go.
- Did you see that? - Yeah.
I don't think he knew she was dead.
I don't agree.
If he killed her, he was expecting the trap.
No, I'm telling you, Al, he is for real.
What do you think? It's really tough to tell.
If he's sick enough to kill his old girlfriend like that, then we're talking about some kind of sociopath.
Guys, I think he's genuine, I do.
We already know he lied for Hagan.
Not necessarily.
I read Clancy's testimony.
Now, he didn't give Hagan a full alibi.
All he said is, he heard Hagan talking to his wife on the deck.
He could be duped by Hagan, too.
This is one of Hagan's best friends.
You think he's in the clear, then prove it to me.
It's the D.
A.
I'm sure Feldman walked right out of here to call the judge to tell him our witness is dead.
Listen to me, if I'm right and Clancy is in the dark about Hagan, then he's just now figuring out that Hagan murdered his old girlfriend.
So Clancy might just give us Mr.
Joe Hagan on a platter.
I'm going back.
All right.
Where are you going? To get your proof.
Due back in court in one hour.
If we don't want the Nora Hagan case to go away, we'd better come up with something.
Hey.
What can I do for you? I just came by to see how we're doing with the boat.
We got the part in a couple hours ago, so we should be able to get it squared away by, end of the day tomorrow.
Tomorrow, wow.
Guess I'm headed back to the clam shack.
Yeah, well, that's the best I can do.
Hey, I was just kidding.
It's I love clams.
Yeah.
I know this is none of my business, but are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
The girl? The one who smelled so good? Is that why you? You talk to her? I tried.
Well, you can always try again.
It's never too late, right? Yeah, it's definitely too late.
You know, I believe, uh that no matter what's happened in the past, if you do the right thing now, it can make a big difference.
Hey, Clancy.
Who's this? I'm a customer.
Clancy's helping me out with my boat.
That doesn't tell me who you are.
What's your name? Hannah Ashworth.
I'm just fixing her boat, Joe.
You were sailing? Yeah, that's what they pay me to do.
They pay you to sail? In this weather they pay me a lot.
I was actually hoping to get out today before the wind kicks up, but, uh boat's not ready yet, so Well, good luck, there's a storm coming.
You're not going anywhere.
I'll have to figure out something to do.
That shouldn't be too hard.
I can give you a couple of ideas.
I'm sure you can.
I'll, uh, let you know.
Okay, great.
I'll talk to you soon.
Nice to meet you.
You don't answer your phone anymore? I've been trying to get in touch with you.
Yeah, I know.
We got to talk, Joe.
Well, that's why I'm standing here.
No, you know what I mean.
No, I don't know what you mean.
The cops told me about Kate.
Yeah, I heard about that.
I'm sorry, that's a tough one.
Joe, we've known each other for 35 years.
You have got to level with me here.
What do you mean, level with you, Clance? They're trying to take me down.
You know that that's how they play it! No, I don't know that, Joe, that's the problem here! Look, I got to go to the courthouse, right, but we will talk later, I promise.
Okay, Clance? I'm going over to work on Billy's boat at 7:00.
You meet me there.
You can count on it.
All right, I think I know how Kate Jordan planned to change her testimony.
Tanya dried out the GPS from her rental car.
Tracks back to a lawyer on Gunhill Road named Ari Lowenstein.
She went to see him the minute she got off the plane.
Apparently she was worried her new testimony could land her in jail.
What was the testimony? Ready for this? Hagan had her falsifying accounting documents.
Fantastic.
Yeah, Mr.
Beloved was Mr.
Crook.
Big man had big money problems.
He was stealing from his employees' pension fund.
That's what Kate was afraid to tell us in her deposition.
She didn't want to get in trouble.
She mention Nora Hagan knowing anything about this? Yeah, she did.
Apparently the wife knew all about it and that's why she was threatening to divorce Hagan.
So she wasn't just gonna leave him.
She was going to expose him for stealing.
Best part? Kate gave Lowenstein copies of the documents to hold.
He gave me a set.
All right, I need you to get 'em to the courthouse ASAP.
On my way.
Without Kate Jordan's testimony, the prosecution is unable to make even a prima facie showing that my client is responsible for his wife's death.
We therefore move for the dismissal of all charges.
Mr.
Adams? Your Honor, Kate Jordan would've provided clear evidence of motive.
The NYPD has uncovered new evidence which Kate Jordan intended to introduce; documents providing clear proof of motive.
Do you have these documents? Not yet, Your Honor.
Have you at least seen these documents? - No, I have not.
- So we're waiting on documents no one has seen, allegedly from a witness we can no longer cross-examine? They're grasping at straws, Your Honor.
Give me a break.
The key witness against this man has just been murdered.
How is it in the State's interest Mr.
Adams, do you have any proof that the defendant was responsible? Then in the matter of The State of New York v.
Joe Hagan we have no choice but to dismiss the charges against Joseph Hagan.
Jeopardy has been attached.
Mr.
Hagan is a free man.
Please inform your client.
Where are we on Kate Jordan? Okay, still waiting on Webster's blood work; CSU's going over every inch of the vehicle; also checking patrol car videos, see if anyone caught the car on the Belt Parkway the night of the murder.
Sorry about not getting there today, boss.
There was some accident on the Queensboro That's okay.
Judge was gonna ding us anyway without Jordan.
Get those documents over to the D.
A.
Might get us a warrant to search Hagan's marina.
You okay? Yeah.
Win some, lose some, right? What is that? Like "easy come, easy go"? Not now, Mike.
"People say-say-say I've had a bad break-break" What are you, Lou Gehrig? We worked 18 months to put that creep away.
Right now he's having a double Jameson's and laughing at us, so yeah, I feel like crap! You happy? Al, we're gonna get this guy.
I think I can help.
I ran some fancy new tests on Nora Hagan's blood work.
My predecessor indicated scopolamine, put it up to seasickness medications, but there was something else there.
A highly potent, semisynthetic opioid.
Which makes for a nasty combination.
Loss of motor control, blackouts, grand mal seizures.
Nora Hagan drowned because she couldn't move.
Well, I don't know if you heard, but, uh, the Nora Hagan case is kind of over.
Yeah, maybe if you had something on Kate Jordan.
I believe I do.
And I'll excuse that shared look of dismay between the two of you as you're trying to figure out how to let the old gal and her tired old forensics down easy as some sort of critical male bonding.
Let me present to you that your dead witness, Kate Jordan, had the same drugs in her system.
And in the same concentrations.
We have found Joe Hagan's murderous cocktail of choice.
Go get him.
Wh-Where did she come from? Listen, I heard about the dismissal.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Yeah, I finally ran into Hagan.
I can just picture the smug look on his face when he found out he got off.
Yeah, I got to picture it, too, 'cause he never came to court.
What do you mean? I heard him telling Clancy he was on his way there.
Never showed.
And they weren't waiting for him, either, far as I could tell.
Wait a second, Al.
- What? - The only reason Hagan would lie to Clancy like that is if he was planning to do something to him.
So you're still thinking Clancy's in the clear? No, I know Clancy's in the clear.
He didn't kill Kate.
Hagan did that all by himself.
But Clancy knows that now, right? So Hagan's gonna go after him.
All right, where is Clancy now? We'll get over there.
That's the thing, I don't know.
He said he was gonna help a guy with his boat, a-a Billy something.
There are a lot of boats in that marina.
Nina, pull up Hagan's marina.
I got to go to the courthouse now, all right? I promise I will talk to you later.
I'm going over to look at Billy's boat at 7:00.
Pros and cons, Billy B.
? I'm trying to make a decision about whether to stay with Claire Anne? 'Cause honestly, she's breaking my heart.
It's not his girlfriend.
What? Claire Anne! I thought it was his girlfriend! Whose girlfriend? - Billy B.
! - You lost me.
Can you get to a computer? Pull up a map of the marina.
Yeah, yeah, we're there, we're there.
Look for a Billy B.
, William B.
, something with a boat, a boat called the Claire Anne.
A boat called the Claire Anne.
We got a Claire Anne registered to a William Barlow.
Yes! That's got to be it! Slip 78, pier 3, south side of the marina.
I love you! I'm on my way! Carrie, wait for backup.
This is Queens Homicide.
I need a 10-85.
I'm at the marina in City Island, pier 3, on the Claire Anne.
We're on board.
Put a rush on the bus, okay? Great.
Stay with me, Clancy.
Apparently, you got here just in time.
And the cold water slowed his heart rate, kept him alive.
Looks like you were right.
So, we should get a statement from him, right? Soon as he can talk.
Yeah.
And a blood test.
Odds are the hospital's gonna find the same mix of drugs in Clancy's system as Webster found in Nora and Kate's.
You were right about that, too.
It's hard being perfect.
And if we start looking around Hagan's place, what are the chances we find some of those drugs? I would say about a hundred percent.
You sure he's here? I'm sure.
NYPD! We're looking for Joseph Hagan.
Yeah, Burns.
You didn't hear the judge? This is over.
I didn't kill my wife, okay? You'd think two years, two years you ruined my life, okay? - I think it's enough.
- He's a good man.
Why don't you just leave him alone! Leave him alone? What about Nora Hagan and Kate Jordan? Hey, hey, hey, Kate Jordan was a liar.
No.
Joe Hagan's the liar.
Kate Jordan found out the truth.
Hagan was raiding the pension funds of his own employees to pay his gambling debts.
- That's not true.
- It is true.
And Nora Hagan knew it, too.
And for that, Joe Hagan killed them both.
Hey, come on, man, he's our friend.
Clancy Watts was your friend, right? Joe tried to kill him today.
He's not your friend.
He needs you more than you need him.
And he needs you to look the other way.
But you don't have to.
You can do what Nora and Kate were gonna do.
You can look him in the eye and tell him "no more.
" Joseph Hagan, you're under arrest for the murder of Kate Jordan and the attempted murder of Clancy Watts.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say or do can and will be used against you in a court of law.
- Nice speech.
- Thanks.
And thanks for your help.
Anytime.
- It was a little Jimmy Stewart.
- So Jimmy Stewart.
But I think Jimmy Stewart's really sexy.
Shut up and let's get a beer.
You're buying.
Really? THE CRASH ON THE
Do you see this women around? Hey, sir, just a moment of your time? I'm looking for Kate Jordan.
Okay, City Island in the news again today, as the Joe Hagan murder trial continues in Queens.
Our own Anne Austin is there.
That's right, Jim.
They've broken for lunch here at court.
As you know, City Island real-estate mogul Joe Hagan stands accused of murdering his wife, Nora, while boating off the coast of Long Island in August of 2010.
Queens homicide detective, Al Burns, was on the stand first today.
Wait a second, I think we have something, Jim.
That's District Attorney Mark Adams.
Mark, how do you think it went in there today? We've got a ways to go, Anne, but I'm confident this jury will do the right thing.
Mr.
Feldman, Mr.
Hagan, what do you think of the State's case? - Any word on Kate? - Not yet.
But I got my team all over it.
We need her, Al.
I can't afford to lose another witness.
If Kate can't give us Hagan threatening his wife We don't stand a chance, I know.
We're gonna find her.
Certain individuals seized on this tragedy to Are you talking about the District Attorney's office? I'm talking about him.
Lieutenant, what are you trying to do to me? You know I never laid a hand on my wife.
I loved her; I couldn't, and you know that.
- So, why are you lying? - Joe, Joe Ask him right now why is he lying.
You killed your wife, Joe Hagan.
You pushed her off your boat, and you watched her drown.
Our witness, Kate Jordan, has specifically flown in from Cleveland to testify that Joe Hagan had a history of physically attacking - and threatening his wife.
- That's not true! Well, happily, for the citizens of New York, what you believe is immaterial.
Let's go, Joe.
Your guys who were prepping her, any sense something was up? She was nervous.
They put it down to trial jitters.
That's it.
Now, Joe Hagan is a beloved resident of City Island.
He lost his wife in a terrible accident Kate Jordan.
Find her, Lieutenant.
Excuse me, have you seen this woman? Hey, excuse me, ma'am, you seen this woman by chance? Kate Jordan? Happen to know her? Maybe you saw her? - No? - Nothing at all? Are you sure? - No.
- Seen Kate Jordan? Excuse me, sir, name's Kate Jordan, she used to work around here.
Never heard of her.
Hey! I'm asking you a question, pal.
Have you seen Kate Jordan? Today's the day she testifies, all right? So, go check at court.
You should be on TV; anybody ever tell you that? Oops, you are.
Not my finest performance, You were great.
- That guy's a thug.
- What are you doing here? I don't know, came to cheer you up, see if I could lend a hand.
Yeah? You got a witness in your pocket? No, I'm just happy to see you.
They haven't found her yet? And no one on the island's talking.
Kate spent her whole life with those people, it's like she never existed.
What the hell does Hagan have on them anyway? Guy owns the place.
Nobody makes a buck on City Island, Joe Hagan doesn't take his cut.
Money buys silence, money buys love.
It's been going on for years.
My first month on the job, we found a floater up by the Throgs Neck, evidence of sexual assault.
She was seen leaving a club with Hagan earlier in the night.
Tons of witnesses, nobody came forward.
M.
E.
said possible suicide.
That's what I had to tell the mom.
Yeah, so enough is enough.
Yeah, enough is enough.
Sir, can I see some ID? Back in court.
Maybe Adams can buy us some time.
Missing? How exactly is she missing, Mr.
Adams? We're not sure, Your Honor.
Kate Jordan came into town obviously intending to testify; something has happened.
We're just asking for a little time to figure out what that is.
Come on, Mark, you lost a witness.
That's not anyone's fault but yours.
Yeah, where exactly was your client last night? Gentlemen.
Innuendo aside, Your Honor, I would ask that jeopardy attach and that this case be declared a mistrial.
Your Honor, the State is asking for two days.
Lieutenant Burns is directing our efforts to locate Ms.
Jordan.
How about it, Lieutenant? Do you think you have a shot? Absolutely, we'll find her.
You're right.
Your client has a right to his day in court.
But the interests of justice will not be harmed in granting a two-day recess.
That's all you get, guys.
enough time for me to get through season four of Mad Men.
Now go.
Okay, thanks.
I'll let him know.
Yeah, bye.
- Hey.
- We got 48 hours.
All right, well, we may not need it.
Nina just found Kate's hotel.
NYPD.
Kate, it's Al Burns.
Well, the shower's been running, but I don't think she got in it.
The towels haven't been touched.
No ID, no wallet or keys.
You smell that? Certainly not chloroform.
Angel Mist.
That's, like, $200 a bottle perfume.
Nice stuff.
Guys, Jordan's rental car left the garage at 11:44.
But this is interesting.
Manager says an emergency door to the garage from the street was tripped last night around 15 minutes before.
They know if it was coming or going? No.
So, she checks in, runs a shower, then disappears.
Yeah, so she got spooked, or she got grabbed.
Or both.
UNFORGETTABLE S01 Ep.
15 - The Following Sea You really don't thint that is a case without her testimony? The problem's always been, we can't be sure what happened on that boat.
And the only other person on board, Hagan's pal Clancy Watts, is gonna back up Hagan's version of the events.
Which is exactly why Kate Jordan is so critical.
Her testimony is that three days before the murder, she witnessed Hagan hit his wife and specifically threaten to throw her into the river.
Yeah, yeah That's violence, and an actual death threat.
Yeah, lots of guys say they're going to kill their wives, but how were you guys gonna prove that he actually went through with it? Currents.
Excuse me? Well, more precisely, current patterns.
Here.
D.
A.
's office prepared this for trial.
It's a 3-D representation of what we think happened the night of the murder.
Avatar, it's not, but I think it gives Tintin a run for the money.
Hagan says he invited Nora out for a romantic cruise.
Clancy Watts comes along to crew.
Watts says at 9:30, Nora went top side to get some fresh air after too much champagne.
Watts and Hagan start up a poker game down in the cabin.
Hagan says he checked on Nora every 15 minutes.
Watts will testify he could hear Hagan talking to her until 10:15 when Hagan went to check and then came running back down to tell him Nora was gone.
They called the Coast Guard.
They start searching.
The only problem, we know that she went over 30 minutes before Hagan said.
How'd you figure? Like I said.
Current patterns.
If she'd gone over when they claimed, she'd have drifted up into the Sound.
Instead, she washed up on the lovely shores of Queens.
Plus, there's the matter of the deck railing.
Nora Hagan was five foot two.
The railing on the deck, came up to four inches below her chin.
There's no way you go over that by accident.
But with a little help Okay, so then why didn't just show this to the jury? Judge ruled it inadmissible.
She said that it was too prejudicial.
Which is why we need Kate Jordan.
I found it.
You found what? The original forensic file for the Nora Hagan murder.
I didn't know you were looking for it.
Detective Wells asked me.
- She did, - I did.
I appreciate it, but right now, the priority is Kate Jordan.
What happens if we can't find Kate Jordan? If the judge doesn't dismiss, we'll go ahead with what we have.
Lieutenant, what you have and two-fifty will get you on the E train.
- Sorry.
- So, you're gonna re-examine all the old forensics and come up with a new case in What, you want it faster? You're really good.
We already know what's in this file.
No evidence Hagan drugged his wife, some bruising on Nora's arms but not enough to positively say they struggled.
Not very helpful.
Then it can't hurt if we take a look at it again.
Excuse me, but it can hurt.
We've already filed our forensics evidence with the court.
If you come up with any new conclusions that damage our case even a little bit, we got to turn that over to the defense.
Lieutenant, with all due respect, if Kate Jordan doesn't show up, your case is already damaged, and not just a little.
All right, knock yourself out.
But listen, no more tag teams, you two.
What? What are those? I thought I'd go back, take a look at the people who knew Kate Jordan.
Who's she? Gwen Turning.
She was a roommate before Kate went to Ohio.
She was not very cooperative first time through, so maybe worth another look.
That's what I had to tell the mom.
So, yeah enough is enough.
Back in court.
Maybe Adams can buy us some time.
She was at the courthouse.
She went up to a guy, average looking, sandy hair, charcoal gray suit.
One of these two? Him.
Well, that is Clancy Watts.
He was the other person on the boat the night Nora died.
I couldn't really hear what they were saying, but I think she was asking him if he knew where Kate Jordan was.
Why did she think he knew? Good question.
Hi, Gwen.
I don't got anything to say to you, Lieutenant.
I went to Kate's hotel.
She's gone.
We think Hagan's involved.
Oh, my God.
I cannot be talking to you.
If Mr.
Hagan hears about it, I'll lose my job.
Why do you think I followed you all the way out to Arthur Avenue so no one would see us? Come on, Gwen.
Help me out here.
I don't know where she is.
I thought she was going to be there this morning.
But you thought Clancy Watts would know.
You asked him at court this morning.
They were friends before Nora died.
I don't know.
I thought maybe she might have been in touch with him.
Look, I got a doctor's appointment, all right? I got to get going.
Gwen, I'm not asking you to help me get Hagan.
I know you can't do that.
But you lived with Kate for three years.
I know you want me to find her, make sure she's okay.
All right, she called me last week, right? She told me she's coming into town for the trial.
She She said she was going to change her testimony.
Change it? Change it how? I don't know.
I didn't ask.
I don't want to know.
What did you think she meant she was going to testify for Hagan? I swear, I don't know.
She tell anybody else? She didn't say.
- Think she's okay now, right? - I don't know.
Thanks for your help, Gwen.
Yeah.
So, you don't know anything, Mr.
Watts? About Kate Jordan, no.
Any idea where she might be? Look, guys, I appreciate that you're looking for her, but you do realize I'm testifying for Joe Hagan in all this.
Yeah.
We got that, but doesn't mean you're not a decent guy who'd want to help find a woman who went missing yesterday.
Look, I barely know Kate Jordan, so, no, I have no idea where she is.
Well, it's just a funny thing, then, 'Cause Gwen Turning seems to think you two are friends.
Sorry I can't be of any more help to you guys.
Now, there goes a guy with more to say.
You get anything? Yeah, let's see.
Ten of Hagan's employees refused to talk to me.
Eight threw profanity in my general direction.
And a kindly elderly woman told me Joe Hagan is a saint, and I should burn in hell for suggesting otherwise.
Yeah.
You got that kind of face.
What? I'm Lieutenant Al Burns, and I'm interviewing Kate Jordan on August 14, 2010.
So, did the D.
A.
's office know anything about Kate changing her testimony? She never notified them.
It's the right thing to do All right, what are we looking for? - You tell me.
- Okay.
Where do you work? At Joe Hagan's showroom in the office.
You know, she's younger than I thought.
She turned 24 when we were prepping.
Three years.
Mr.
Hagan hired me when I graduated from BCC.
How well did you know Nora Hagan? Not too well.
I'd see her around the office now and then.
And what did you see the Tuesday before she died? It was late, and I heard an argument.
It was Joe It was Mr.
and Mrs.
Hagan.
They were in Mr.
Hagan's office.
What was the argument about? I can see why she makes a good witness.
She's brave going up against Hagan.
And against the people in town.
I'm not sure exactly, but Mrs.
Hagan called him a liar, and he hit her.
She got a lot of grief when she agreed to testify for us.
Ended up moving off the island, eventually out of state.
You saw him hit her? No, but I heard it.
She started to cry.
And when she came out after, she was she was she was holding her hand over her eye, you know, like-like this.
And what happened after he hit her? She told him she was gonna leave him, and then he said if she tried, he'd make sure they found her body at the bottom of the East River.
Kate, is there anything else you can tell me that relates to Nora Hagan's murder? Do you see anything? No.
Here, give me that for a sec.
Kate, is there anything else you can tell me that relates to Nora Hagan's murder? No.
Right there.
See that? Now, why does she take so long to answer you when you ask her if there's anything else? I was wondering that, too.
Hey.
Got the rundown on the hotel phone.
Kate did call Clancy Watts yesterday afternoon around 3:00.
Nice of him to mention that to Mike and Roe.
Yeah.
Perhaps more importantly, she got a call herself later, only seven minutes before the emergency door got tripped at the hotel garage.
We know from who? Burner cell.
Trying to track it.
Nice work.
I want Clancy Watts in the box.
This guy's in it up to his eyeballs.
Clancy and Hagan have been friends since high school.
He makes his living running Hagan's marina.
Now, if he's willing to lie under oath about Hagan's wife, he's not gonna give us anything about Kate Jordan.
I can get him to talk.
He's a witness, Al.
We can't have him showing up with a black eye.
I didn't mean that.
Whatever you meant, I think I may have a better idea.
Alright, look, Clancy is not gonna talk to us.
There's no way it's gonna happen.
So? Maybe he'll talk to someone else.
There's that tone again.
What tone? The one with which you propose the half-baked idea which makes no sense to anyone but you, which could easily get us both fired, but no matter what I say, you go and do it anyway.
That tone.
I'm not familiar with that tone.
There it is again.
Be careful! I got her here.
There you go.
You can tie it off on the back there.
Okay.
I'm glad you guys weren't closed for the season.
I would have drifted all the way to Italy.
Happy to help.
Clancy Watts Hannah Ashworth.
Nice to meet you.
Welcome to City Island.
- Thanks.
- You good back there? Yeah, fine.
All right, I'll meet up in the office.
All right.
Thank you.
The buyer was insistent I get her to Newport as soon as possible.
He wants to re-bed the deck, the whole deck, before the start of the season.
Where you up from? Hilton Head.
I figured even with weather, it'd take me about a week, I'd still make my dentist appointment next Tuesday, no problem.
But with all that play in the wheel, can't really ignore it.
Yeah, no fun drifting into a shipping lane.
Yeah, it's probably just your, uh your head gears are worn.
Well, maybe just remove a shim or two, you know, eliminate some of the slack.
He can have his guy replace the whole pedestal.
So, you been on the island a long time? I grew up here, so, uh, yeah, basically since I could walk.
Yeah? Good people? Yeah.
Mostly.
Here.
Thanks.
So, I guess I'll just sleep on the boat until she's ready if that's okay? Yeah.
I'll get you some juice for your heater.
Great.
Anywhere good to eat around here? Food's one thing we got.
It's a little walk down the avenue, though.
If you want something closer, there's a deli across the street makes a pretty good sandwich.
Great.
Thank you for you help.
I appreciate it.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Ahoy.
Ahoy there, Ahab.
How are things? Apparently, my head gear's a little worn.
I could have told you that.
What about Clancy? Well, I talked to him a little.
I'm not sure what, but the guy's definitely got something on his mind, that's for sure.
Just be careful, okay? Hey, careful is my middle name.
How about you? Any luck on Kate's phone? Still haven't located it.
Tanya's doing her magic, but no luck yet.
Hey, I was just looking for you.
Well, finding me at my desk does make it a bit less of an achievement, Which doesn't mean I don't think you're not excellent at finding things, generally.
It's sort of your job.
Okay, so, I've been using your girl Kate's cell phone data to pinpoint her movements last night.
I can track her from the airport to the hotel.
Late afternoon, she went somewhere in Queens.
I'm still working on figuring out where.
Then it looks like she returned to the hotel for a few hours.
And then, she moved north through a tower here, here and here.
Looks like she's driving along the Belt Parkway.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but then her cell phone went offline around midnight.
Poof.
Exactly.
That was That was my poof gesture.
There's a tower here.
She either took the battery out of her cell phone before she got within a mile of the tower, or she never got within a mile of it.
All right, so, she could be between - here and here.
- Exactly.
Nice job, T.
That was my, um nice job gesture.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
- You called? - Where's Wells? She's working undercover, so she asked me to see if I could help.
And you are? The one who hates it when people don't remember her name.
Do you swim, Detective? Never learned.
The Talmud says, a parent's most important job is to teach their children to swim.
Literally or figuratively? I'm a good swimmer.
In a pool, two miles.
Open water, a little over a mile.
Nora Hagan was from a fishing dynasty on City Island, so, undoubtedly, she could swim.
And according to the autopsy, she was much more fit than I.
So, with summer waters and favorable currents, she never make it to the shore.
How come? There another Talmud story coming? The gas chromatography tox results are in.
She did have tropane alkaloids in her system.
The old M.
E.
who not to cast aspersions was a moron, indicated scopolamine.
Seasickness meds.
Common stuff.
Yeah, that does seem a little strange for a woman who spends her whole life on the water.
Indeed.
So, I want you to sign this request giving me the opportunity to run a very different and very expensive test.
I should probably ask the lieutenant.
Or you could swim.
Pros and cons, Billy B.
? Yeah, you know, so I can make a decision about whether to stay with Claire Anne because honestly, she's breaking my heart, and, look, lot more cons than pros.
We did try to warn you, Billy.
Yeah.
Hey, what's up, Clance? Hey, we've been over every inch of this place.
There's no sign of Kate or her car.
Either Tanya got the data wrong or What's that right there? Is that what I think it is? Get a crane and some divers.
Hey.
Fancy meeting you here.
Hey, what's up? You were right, by the way.
City Island has the best food ever.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
How's it going with the boat? Any news? Actually I spoke with a shop out in Port Washington.
They have the gears we need.
- Great.
- They're gonna send 'em out.
- Probably be here tomorrow.
- Excellent.
Hey, um, can I get you a? Thanks, a club soda.
Club soda.
Hitting the hard stuff, right? You smell that? Angel Mist.
That's, like, $200 a bottle.
Angel Mist.
Excuse me? The perfume.
It's, uh wow, it kind of suits you.
No, um, it's, uh must be a friend of mine's.
A girl friend of yours, I'm assuming.
It's over.
Carrie? Carrie? I'm so sorry to interrupt.
It's my dad calling.
Do you mind? - Please take it.
- Okay, thank you.
Hey, Dad, how's it going? What's going on? Listen, Gwen Turning said that Kate Jordan and Clancy were friends, right? - Yeah.
- Well, I'm telling you right now, they were more than friends.
He's got her perfume all over his sweatshirt.
Well, whatever they were, it's over.
She's dead.
What? Okay, so here's my theory.
Kate Jordan comes into town, Hagan gets his buddy Clancy to be the bait, he gets her out of her hotel room, they take a drive, end of Kate Jordan.
Well, I took another run at Gwen the ex-roommate.
She admitted Kate and Clancy had a pretty heavy affair before Nora Hagan was murdered.
She said they broke up 'cause Clancy wasn't happy that Kate was gonna be a witness against Hagan.
Well, of course Gwen never mentioned any of this to Al.
Yeah, well, for what it's worth, she says she kept quiet 'cause she still thinks that Clancy's a good guy, that he would never hurt Kate.
He's not a good guy, he's a scumbag.
We got two murdered women.
Clancy Watts is dead center both times.
He was on that boat, he lied to save Hagan's ass, and now he's killed for him.
What'd you hear from the D.
A.
's office about the trial? Nothing good unless we got something real to tie Hagan with Kate Jordan's death.
Even if the judge lets 'em go forward with the trial, there's no jury's going to convict with what we got left.
Doesn't matter.
I want Hagan and Watts for Kate Jordan's murder.
She was brave enough to stand up to him.
We can't let him win.
Al, Kate Jordan's death hasn't broken in the press.
Now, I-if Clancy thinks that we don't know yet, we might be able to get him in here.
Let's try it.
Hi, David.
Thanks for coming in, Clancy.
You said you wanted to clarify certain aspects of Mr.
Watts' original statements? That's right, specifically why Mr.
Watts never indicated that he had a personal relationship with Kate Jordan.
I don't understand.
Were you romantically involved with Kate Jordan? You don't have to answer that.
That's right, you don't, but unless you want us to bring it up on cross-examination, in which case it'll become part of the very public record, might want to deal with it now.
Look, Kate and I have known each other for a long time.
All right, she used to work her high school summers at the marina.
You two get together back then? I was too old for her back then.
She wasn't interested in me.
At least not until after you were married, right? Look, things between Kate and I ended over a year ago.
But she's back in town for the Hagan trial.
Did you see her while she's here? You know where she's staying? Yeah, as a matter of fact, I did.
I dropped by her hotel.
What'd you two kids talk about? You're straying pretty far afield here.
Things didn't end great between us.
I had always wanted to say I was sorry, so I figured it was better to do in person.
Did you see Kate Jordan again after you left her hotel room? Wait a minute, you guys don't think I had anything to do with her going missing? She's not missing, Clancy.
She was murdered.
What? Okay, let's go.
- She's she's dead? - No, not another word.
Let's go, Clancy.
I said let's go.
- Did you see that? - Yeah.
I don't think he knew she was dead.
I don't agree.
If he killed her, he was expecting the trap.
No, I'm telling you, Al, he is for real.
What do you think? It's really tough to tell.
If he's sick enough to kill his old girlfriend like that, then we're talking about some kind of sociopath.
Guys, I think he's genuine, I do.
We already know he lied for Hagan.
Not necessarily.
I read Clancy's testimony.
Now, he didn't give Hagan a full alibi.
All he said is, he heard Hagan talking to his wife on the deck.
He could be duped by Hagan, too.
This is one of Hagan's best friends.
You think he's in the clear, then prove it to me.
It's the D.
A.
I'm sure Feldman walked right out of here to call the judge to tell him our witness is dead.
Listen to me, if I'm right and Clancy is in the dark about Hagan, then he's just now figuring out that Hagan murdered his old girlfriend.
So Clancy might just give us Mr.
Joe Hagan on a platter.
I'm going back.
All right.
Where are you going? To get your proof.
Due back in court in one hour.
If we don't want the Nora Hagan case to go away, we'd better come up with something.
Hey.
What can I do for you? I just came by to see how we're doing with the boat.
We got the part in a couple hours ago, so we should be able to get it squared away by, end of the day tomorrow.
Tomorrow, wow.
Guess I'm headed back to the clam shack.
Yeah, well, that's the best I can do.
Hey, I was just kidding.
It's I love clams.
Yeah.
I know this is none of my business, but are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
The girl? The one who smelled so good? Is that why you? You talk to her? I tried.
Well, you can always try again.
It's never too late, right? Yeah, it's definitely too late.
You know, I believe, uh that no matter what's happened in the past, if you do the right thing now, it can make a big difference.
Hey, Clancy.
Who's this? I'm a customer.
Clancy's helping me out with my boat.
That doesn't tell me who you are.
What's your name? Hannah Ashworth.
I'm just fixing her boat, Joe.
You were sailing? Yeah, that's what they pay me to do.
They pay you to sail? In this weather they pay me a lot.
I was actually hoping to get out today before the wind kicks up, but, uh boat's not ready yet, so Well, good luck, there's a storm coming.
You're not going anywhere.
I'll have to figure out something to do.
That shouldn't be too hard.
I can give you a couple of ideas.
I'm sure you can.
I'll, uh, let you know.
Okay, great.
I'll talk to you soon.
Nice to meet you.
You don't answer your phone anymore? I've been trying to get in touch with you.
Yeah, I know.
We got to talk, Joe.
Well, that's why I'm standing here.
No, you know what I mean.
No, I don't know what you mean.
The cops told me about Kate.
Yeah, I heard about that.
I'm sorry, that's a tough one.
Joe, we've known each other for 35 years.
You have got to level with me here.
What do you mean, level with you, Clance? They're trying to take me down.
You know that that's how they play it! No, I don't know that, Joe, that's the problem here! Look, I got to go to the courthouse, right, but we will talk later, I promise.
Okay, Clance? I'm going over to work on Billy's boat at 7:00.
You meet me there.
You can count on it.
All right, I think I know how Kate Jordan planned to change her testimony.
Tanya dried out the GPS from her rental car.
Tracks back to a lawyer on Gunhill Road named Ari Lowenstein.
She went to see him the minute she got off the plane.
Apparently she was worried her new testimony could land her in jail.
What was the testimony? Ready for this? Hagan had her falsifying accounting documents.
Fantastic.
Yeah, Mr.
Beloved was Mr.
Crook.
Big man had big money problems.
He was stealing from his employees' pension fund.
That's what Kate was afraid to tell us in her deposition.
She didn't want to get in trouble.
She mention Nora Hagan knowing anything about this? Yeah, she did.
Apparently the wife knew all about it and that's why she was threatening to divorce Hagan.
So she wasn't just gonna leave him.
She was going to expose him for stealing.
Best part? Kate gave Lowenstein copies of the documents to hold.
He gave me a set.
All right, I need you to get 'em to the courthouse ASAP.
On my way.
Without Kate Jordan's testimony, the prosecution is unable to make even a prima facie showing that my client is responsible for his wife's death.
We therefore move for the dismissal of all charges.
Mr.
Adams? Your Honor, Kate Jordan would've provided clear evidence of motive.
The NYPD has uncovered new evidence which Kate Jordan intended to introduce; documents providing clear proof of motive.
Do you have these documents? Not yet, Your Honor.
Have you at least seen these documents? - No, I have not.
- So we're waiting on documents no one has seen, allegedly from a witness we can no longer cross-examine? They're grasping at straws, Your Honor.
Give me a break.
The key witness against this man has just been murdered.
How is it in the State's interest Mr.
Adams, do you have any proof that the defendant was responsible? Then in the matter of The State of New York v.
Joe Hagan we have no choice but to dismiss the charges against Joseph Hagan.
Jeopardy has been attached.
Mr.
Hagan is a free man.
Please inform your client.
Where are we on Kate Jordan? Okay, still waiting on Webster's blood work; CSU's going over every inch of the vehicle; also checking patrol car videos, see if anyone caught the car on the Belt Parkway the night of the murder.
Sorry about not getting there today, boss.
There was some accident on the Queensboro That's okay.
Judge was gonna ding us anyway without Jordan.
Get those documents over to the D.
A.
Might get us a warrant to search Hagan's marina.
You okay? Yeah.
Win some, lose some, right? What is that? Like "easy come, easy go"? Not now, Mike.
"People say-say-say I've had a bad break-break" What are you, Lou Gehrig? We worked 18 months to put that creep away.
Right now he's having a double Jameson's and laughing at us, so yeah, I feel like crap! You happy? Al, we're gonna get this guy.
I think I can help.
I ran some fancy new tests on Nora Hagan's blood work.
My predecessor indicated scopolamine, put it up to seasickness medications, but there was something else there.
A highly potent, semisynthetic opioid.
Which makes for a nasty combination.
Loss of motor control, blackouts, grand mal seizures.
Nora Hagan drowned because she couldn't move.
Well, I don't know if you heard, but, uh, the Nora Hagan case is kind of over.
Yeah, maybe if you had something on Kate Jordan.
I believe I do.
And I'll excuse that shared look of dismay between the two of you as you're trying to figure out how to let the old gal and her tired old forensics down easy as some sort of critical male bonding.
Let me present to you that your dead witness, Kate Jordan, had the same drugs in her system.
And in the same concentrations.
We have found Joe Hagan's murderous cocktail of choice.
Go get him.
Wh-Where did she come from? Listen, I heard about the dismissal.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Yeah, I finally ran into Hagan.
I can just picture the smug look on his face when he found out he got off.
Yeah, I got to picture it, too, 'cause he never came to court.
What do you mean? I heard him telling Clancy he was on his way there.
Never showed.
And they weren't waiting for him, either, far as I could tell.
Wait a second, Al.
- What? - The only reason Hagan would lie to Clancy like that is if he was planning to do something to him.
So you're still thinking Clancy's in the clear? No, I know Clancy's in the clear.
He didn't kill Kate.
Hagan did that all by himself.
But Clancy knows that now, right? So Hagan's gonna go after him.
All right, where is Clancy now? We'll get over there.
That's the thing, I don't know.
He said he was gonna help a guy with his boat, a-a Billy something.
There are a lot of boats in that marina.
Nina, pull up Hagan's marina.
I got to go to the courthouse now, all right? I promise I will talk to you later.
I'm going over to look at Billy's boat at 7:00.
Pros and cons, Billy B.
? I'm trying to make a decision about whether to stay with Claire Anne? 'Cause honestly, she's breaking my heart.
It's not his girlfriend.
What? Claire Anne! I thought it was his girlfriend! Whose girlfriend? - Billy B.
! - You lost me.
Can you get to a computer? Pull up a map of the marina.
Yeah, yeah, we're there, we're there.
Look for a Billy B.
, William B.
, something with a boat, a boat called the Claire Anne.
A boat called the Claire Anne.
We got a Claire Anne registered to a William Barlow.
Yes! That's got to be it! Slip 78, pier 3, south side of the marina.
I love you! I'm on my way! Carrie, wait for backup.
This is Queens Homicide.
I need a 10-85.
I'm at the marina in City Island, pier 3, on the Claire Anne.
We're on board.
Put a rush on the bus, okay? Great.
Stay with me, Clancy.
Apparently, you got here just in time.
And the cold water slowed his heart rate, kept him alive.
Looks like you were right.
So, we should get a statement from him, right? Soon as he can talk.
Yeah.
And a blood test.
Odds are the hospital's gonna find the same mix of drugs in Clancy's system as Webster found in Nora and Kate's.
You were right about that, too.
It's hard being perfect.
And if we start looking around Hagan's place, what are the chances we find some of those drugs? I would say about a hundred percent.
You sure he's here? I'm sure.
NYPD! We're looking for Joseph Hagan.
Yeah, Burns.
You didn't hear the judge? This is over.
I didn't kill my wife, okay? You'd think two years, two years you ruined my life, okay? - I think it's enough.
- He's a good man.
Why don't you just leave him alone! Leave him alone? What about Nora Hagan and Kate Jordan? Hey, hey, hey, Kate Jordan was a liar.
No.
Joe Hagan's the liar.
Kate Jordan found out the truth.
Hagan was raiding the pension funds of his own employees to pay his gambling debts.
- That's not true.
- It is true.
And Nora Hagan knew it, too.
And for that, Joe Hagan killed them both.
Hey, come on, man, he's our friend.
Clancy Watts was your friend, right? Joe tried to kill him today.
He's not your friend.
He needs you more than you need him.
And he needs you to look the other way.
But you don't have to.
You can do what Nora and Kate were gonna do.
You can look him in the eye and tell him "no more.
" Joseph Hagan, you're under arrest for the murder of Kate Jordan and the attempted murder of Clancy Watts.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say or do can and will be used against you in a court of law.
- Nice speech.
- Thanks.
And thanks for your help.
Anytime.
- It was a little Jimmy Stewart.
- So Jimmy Stewart.
But I think Jimmy Stewart's really sexy.
Shut up and let's get a beer.
You're buying.
Really? THE CRASH ON THE
