Bull (2016) s04e20 Episode Script

1 Cell phone number's on the counter, so is the doctor, so is the dad.
Do your best.
We'll be home by midnight.
- 1:00 at the latest.
- Got it.
1:00? I don't do 1:00.
I do, like, 10:00.
You do, like, 9:00.
Well, you're in New York, and I only get to see you once a year.
So tonight we're going out like grown-ups, which means we'll get home when we get home.
Okay.
All right, kiddo.
Mwah.
Lights out at 10:00.
Hey, hey.
Hug before I go.
All right.
See you in the morning, sweet boy.
And then they asked me if I'd consider becoming vice principal.
Caroline, you never told me.
I know.
I never told anyone.
And I never got back to them, either.
- But you love teaching.
- You love education.
You love all that.
Well, yeah.
I mean, I do, or at least I did when I was 20 and I didn't understand how the world worked.
I mean, I know I'll probably do it for the rest of my life and I get a ton of satisfaction from it, but it is so hard to make ends meet.
Mm.
I mean, Henry's just six years away from college.
I-I can't even imagine how I'm gonna pay for that.
And, I don't know, someday I'd just love to have somebody do my nails for me.
You know? Ugh, Caroline.
And sometimes, in the middle of the night, I-I can't sleep, so I'll watch a couple of those house-flipping shows and I think, I could do that.
I just need a hundred grand and six months to myself.
You know if I had a hundred grand, I'd give it to you.
I would make us so crazy rich.
Tomorrow we're getting our nails done.
Then flip a house? Caroline! Trunk in the front like that Dumbo, yeah When I got guap, all of y'all disappeared Before I dropped Stoney, none of y'all really cared Now they always say "Congratulations" to the kid And this is not a 40 Please! My friend! Call 911! Hey, come on, get in the damn car! We got to go! Now! No! No, no.
God, no! Somebody help me! Anything new? No.
She's still in surgery.
Mauricio still with the sitter? Yeah, so is Caroline's son.
Have you called his father? There is no father.
He's adopted.
Danny have any luck finding the car? No, but she is all over her contacts at the NYPD.
Should have gotten the license plate number.
Uh, Taylor, how many black Lamborghini SUVs can there be in the city? We will find it.
Ms.
Rentzel? You came in with Caroline Collins? Yes.
Maybe we should go somewhere more private.
Why? I'm sorry, but your friend died on the operating table.
When we got into surgery, we discovered one of her broken ribs pierced her aorta.
We did everything we could, but the internal bleeding was simply too severe.
- No! - I'm so sorry.
It's gonna be okay.
It'll be okay.
It'll be okay.
It's gonna be it's gonna be okay.
Taylor, Taylor, Taylor.
Taylor Come in! Taylor.
I'm so sorry.
Oh Come on, have a seat.
Marissa tells me you've been best friends forever.
We met in the second grade.
How is her son doing? Henry? He's destroyed.
I brought him with me.
I didn't know what else to do.
Chunk's giving him the grand tour.
Trying to, anyway.
I think he just wants to crawl into a corner and cry.
Hmm.
All right, well, I'll get right to it.
The NYPD found the driver who struck and killed your friend.
She is an 18-year-old young woman named Sonya Waliczek.
Oh, my God.
That's amazing.
Who is she? Was she drunk? Was she high? Is she in jail? Actually, she is the daughter of a foreign diplomat.
Which means, even though she broke the law, even though she killed your friend, she's protected by diplomatic immunity.
She can't be charged, she can't be held.
She can't even be tried for what she did.
Just before you came in, I was on the phone with your friend's attorney.
Are you aware that, in the event of her untimely death, she had appointed you Henry's legal guardian? Wow.
Okay.
It was a conversation we had when she first adopted Henry, but it's not something we've talked about ever since.
Well, according to the attorney, that's the plan.
That's what's in the will.
How do you feel about that? How well do you know this boy? I see him once a year when his mom comes to visit.
But, honestly, if it's what Caroline wanted You know, just because it's what she wanted for her baby a dozen years ago doesn't necessarily mean it's what she would have wanted for him today.
He's a preadolescent.
I'm betting his life is pretty full.
Uprooting him from Denver, moving him to New York, on top of all the other changes in his life he has no control over I don't know, Taylor.
Even Caroline might have thought differently if she was presented with the choice today.
He's gone for the day! Are you heading out soon? Oh, yes.
Mere minutes away.
Just have to find a way to look Taylor in the eye and say, "We're gonna prosecute that girl who mowed down your friend, "so the most interesting thing about her life won't be "that the person who killed her got away with it.
We're gonna make this right.
" Honestly? Mere minutes away.
I'm sorry, I just can't believe the government not only allows diplomats to run people down, it gives their kids immunity, too.
Well, it's a necessary evil.
Without diplomatic immunity, our diplomats would be at risk of prosecution on trumped-up charges in foreign countries.
Especially in places where the U.
S.
is unpopular.
Taylor.
Sorry to startle you.
Taylor, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be taking the day off.
It's okay.
Henry and Mauricio are at the movies with my ex.
The thing is, I found something.
On the night of the accident, Sonya posted tons of pics of herself out partying.
And there's the same girl in almost every photo.
Her name is Jade Bennington.
See how Sonya's wearing a black dress? Okay.
So, right after the accident, the driver got out of the car for just a second and I saw her.
She was wearing a red jacket.
Well, maybe Sonya was cold and borrowed her friend's jacket? I thought of that, but that's not the only thing that I found.
Now let me show you something.
Why is her arm in a sling? Exactly.
And see the abrasions on her face? Kind of looks like she might have been on the wrong side of an airbag, don't you think? Meanwhile, Sonya doesn't have so much as a scratch in any of the pictures following the accident.
So, then what if Sonya wasn't driving at all? What if it was her friend, who almost certainly doesn't have diplomatic immunity? Exactly.
What do you think? I think maybe you, me and Benny take a trip to the D.
A.
's office in the morning.
Mr.
Rentzel, I reviewed everything you sent over.
And I'm sorry.
I'm not gonna bring charges against Jade Bennington for the death of your friend.
A.
D.
A.
Fredericks, you've got an eyewitness who puts Ms.
Bennington in the driver's seat.
You've got visual evidence of injuries that puts her in the driver's seat.
The ambassador's daughter confessed.
Excuse me? Uh Sonya Waliczek? The owner of the Lamborghini? She confessed she was driving the car when your friend was struck and killed.
Well, I'm sure you'll concede Ms.
Waliczek could be lying to protect her friend.
She knows we can't go after her.
That may be, but as I'm sure you know, it's nearly impossible to get a jury to find someone guilty when someone else has confessed.
I just can't devote resources to a case I'm certain I'm gonna lose.
What if we went civil instead of criminal? How do you mean? Well, what if Taylor brought a wrongful death suit against Jade Bennington, on behalf of Henry? Can we do that? I don't see why not.
No, the real question is, can we win? Won't know till we try.
Our biggest challenge is gonna be putting Jade behind the wheel.
That's easy.
My testimony puts Jade behind the wheel.
No, unfortunately, your testimony just puts a dark-haired girl in a red jacket behind the wheel.
And that could still be Sonya.
Well, what about the pictures? The facial abrasions? Her arm is clearly in a sling.
Well, if I were defending her, I would argue that all of that is consistent with having been in a car accident.
None of it suggests in any absolute way that she was driving.
Danny, you've been to the club.
I have to believe one of the valets saw who got behind the wheel.
Well, not that they'll admit to.
In fact, none of them even remember bringing the Lamborghini around.
Come on.
A sweet car like that? Oh, yeah.
I suspect that no one's gonna remember, 'cause they know they could be liable for letting a drunk driver get behind the wheel.
Not to mention both girls were under 21, and they allowed them inside to drink.
Well, I'll keep looking for other possible witnesses.
Perhaps somebody who was partying there that night saw something.
Let's not forget, there are traffic cameras and security cameras all over Manhattan.
Maybe one of them captured an image of Jade driving.
I wouldn't be so sure.
I've found dozens of images of the Lamborghini, and the windows are tinted so dark, you can't make out the driver.
None of this sounds very promising, does it? Really? I don't know, I'm kind of encouraged.
Let's let Benny file some papers tomorrow morning and see where that leaves us before we gather up our towels and throw them in.
Mauricio wanted to sleep at his dad's.
He said it was just too sad here.
You call home? Yeah, I wanted to get my homework.
And, um people keep asking about the funeral.
Working on it.
Working on lots of things.
I think we're actually gonna be able to go to court.
Make the woman who did this take responsibility for it.
And it will be you that's suing.
She'll have to answer to you.
Okay.
And there's some other thing that I've been meaning to talk to you about.
You know, your mom, she was pretty smart, Henry.
She really tried to think of everything when it came to you.
Even something as tragic as this.
And she decided, if something happened and she couldn't take care of you, she wanted me to do it.
To be your guardian.
- I don't understand.
- You'd move to Denver? Probably not.
I mean, I don't know.
I suppose anything is possible.
You know, when your mom figured all these things out, I didn't live in New York.
I didn't have a little boy.
You weren't 12.
The answer is, I don't know yet.
Whatever turns out being best for you, that's the answer.
So, who'd you call? My friend Toby.
And, by the way, he said his parents said I could live with him.
I mean, if you didn't move to Denver.
Well, that's good.
That's nice.
Options.
It's always good to have options.
Hug? And thus it begins.
Let's talk jury.
Hmm.
Well, we know the defense is gonna make the jury aware of Sonya's confession.
Either in their opening statement or through testimony.
So we need to try and identify people who will be able to see that confession for what it is: the ultimate act of privilege.
One spoiled kid lending another her "get out of jail free" card like it's a pair of Louboutins.
Oh, boy.
Prospective jurors, now, this trial is likely to last into next week.
So, please raise your hand if serving as a juror would be a legitimate hardship for you.
You, sir, in the front row, please state the reason for your hardship.
I don't want to jinx anything, but that seemed to me to go pretty well.
Am I wrong? Nope.
I'm pretty pleased with our jury.
Nice work, gentlemen.
Not that I'd expect any less from the best jury whisperers in New York.
- He's being nice.
- He must want something.
Just to express my admiration.
Your strategy was very clear and very smart.
Capitalize on our country's growing animosity toward the rich and privileged.
I guess we'll all find out together if it works.
To that end, while my client Ms.
Bennington is completely innocent in this matter, her parents are convinced that this case will turn her into a national scapegoat for all the pent-up rage toward the rich.
So, they've asked me to offer $250,000 to end this before subjecting her to a grueling public trial.
With no acknowledgment of fault, of course.
But she was at fault.
If the Benningtons are offering $250,000 to start, I'm guessing there's more on the table? I'm sure I can find some wiggle room if you hit me with a reasonable counter.
Can you give us till after lunch to confer with our client? Okay.
Now you may speak.
Jade's parents can't just pay to make this go away.
Do they really think they can put a dollar figure on Caroline's life? You do realize that's exactly what we're doing with this lawsuit? This is a civil suit, not criminal.
At the end of the day, it's all about the money.
No.
If that girl isn't willing to admit fault, there's no amount of money that can make this right.
It's a lot of money, Taylor.
It can go towards Henry's future, his college.
Still.
I'm gonna say something I know you don't want to hear, but I'm gonna say it anyway.
I'm worried that even if we win this lawsuit, it's not gonna give you what you're looking for.
You know what I'm looking for? I want that girl to have to sit in a courtroom and hear about the woman whose life she took.
I don't want her to be able to buy her way out of that.
Because no matter what happens, win or lose, she's gonna have to live with what she's done.
And when she thinks about it, I want her to be able to put a face on the person whose life she stole.
I want her to know that Caroline mattered.
That the world was a better place for her being here.
And a lesser place now that she's gone.
That's what I want.
Understood.
I will let opposing counsel know that we are not interested in a settlement at this time, we very much look forward to our day in court.
Thank you.
Good morning, Mr.
Silver.
Now can you please tell the court what it is you do for a living? - I'm an influencer.
- Ah.
And for those of us who might not be familiar, can you explain what an influencer does? Brands hire me to promote their products on social media.
I mostly do fashion but some restaurants and clubs, too.
I wear the clothes, go to the clubs, and then post about it on the different social media platforms.
And-and how do you know the defendant Jade Bennington? One of the clubs I post for, The Burrow, I see her there a lot.
Huh.
But Ms.
Bennington is only 18 years old, and these clubs serve alcohol.
Have any idea how she gets into them? I have no idea at all.
I guess you'd have to ask her about that.
Now, did you happen to see Jade Bennington at The Burrow on the evening of March 4? Yes.
We were both in the VIP lounge that night.
And was Jade with anyone? Yes.
She was with her friend Sonya Waliczek.
And do you have any idea how Jade and Sonya got to the club? I-I mean, their mode of transportation? I saw them pull up in Sonya's Lamborghini Urus.
- Oh, I see.
- So they drove themselves.
And, uh, did you happen to see if either of the girls consumed alcohol that night? Yes.
I believe both girls were drinking.
All right, now, so l-let's talk about Sonya first.
How would you describe her condition? Would, would you say that Sonya was a little tipsy, or would you describe her as inebriated? Um, I believe she was I couldn't really say.
It's not like I administered a blood alcohol test or anything.
Yeah, but I'm sure you witnessed her demeanor.
Was she slurring her words? Stumbling around? - Yes.
- Yes to? Both.
She was slurring her words and stumbling around.
Now, Jade, did she seem inebriated to you, Mr.
Silver? Was she slurring her words or stumbling around? Yes.
But she wasn't as drunk as Sonya.
Aha.
Which brings us back to the Lamborghini, Sonya's Lamborghini.
You already testified that she was slurring her words and stumbling around.
Do you know if she drove home in that condition? I doubt it.
When the girls were leaving, I heard Jade offer to drive Sonya's car for her.
Objection.
Hearsay.
Counsel knows full well that the witness is sharing a statement that indicates the accused was contemplating breaking the law.
It's a statement against penal interest, Your Honor, which is not subject to the hearsay objection.
I'll allow it.
I have no further questions.
So, Mr.
Silver, did you actually see Ms.
Bennington get behind the wheel of that Lamborghini? No, I did not.
Hmm.
So you really don't know who ended up driving Sonya Waliczek's car that night, do you? No, I do not.
I have no further questions for this witness, Your Honor.
They still with us? Well, we've planted a seed of doubt.
Whether it actually takes root and grows or not, that's gonna be up to you.
Ready for witness prep? Just about.
What you got there? Opposition research.
On myself.
I don't want to be blindsided by anything on cross.
You have $61,372 in credit card debt? Girl, what are you doing? Getting takeout from Jean-Georges? I know.
I'm in way over my head.
But I got divorced.
I had to find and furnish my own place.
Plus, I've been taking care of my sister's family since her husband lost his job last year and Okay.
You don't have to explain yourself to me.
But this is definitely something that the other side could use.
I had a hunch.
That's why I put it in the binder for you.
You were named as trustee in Caroline's will, right? Not just guardian? Which means that you control any money that Henry would win from this lawsuit, whether he lives with you or not.
I think that's how it works.
I'm just worried the other side will use Taylor's debt to paint her as desperate.
Someone who would trump up a false claim to solve her own financial problems.
Don't worry.
We just need to get out in front of it.
We just need to be the ones who tell the jury about it first.
But surely, if you receive money for this lawsuit, it will make your life a lot easier, won't it? I don't see how.
I certainly don't think it should.
That money would be for Henry.
To feed him and clothe him and educate him.
Health care and college and He's a 12-year-old boy.
Without a mom or a dad.
So, even if all of those things I just listed are provided for, he's still got an enormous hill to climb.
And I know everybody's mother is irreplaceable.
But this boy didn't get 25 or 35 or 45 years with her.
He got 12.
And I don't know what to tell him.
I don't know what to say.
I cannot come up with the words to make him understand that despite all of the evidence that's been thrown his way these past few weeks, that the world is a good place.
That the world isn't horrible.
Not when his amazing, kind and beautiful mother is run down in the street.
And no one even bothers to say they're sorry.
Thank you.
No further questions at this time, Your Honor.
Are they with us yet? Not a one of them.
I don't understand.
How can the jury not be moved by that? Because we still haven't proven that Sonya wasn't driving the car.
And at the end of the day, that's all that matters.
That was very moving testimony, Ms.
Rentzel.
But then, I'm guessing you know a little something about the art of testifying, don't you? Would you mind telling the jury who you work for? I don't like where this is headed.
I work for the Trial Analysis Corporation.
Of course.
And the Trial Analysis Corporation is run by Dr.
Jason Bull, isn't it? Yes.
And he's sitting right there, isn't he? - Yes.
- And Dr.
Bull is considered one of the best jury consultants in the country, isn't that right? He prefers the term trial scientist.
But, yes, he's very well regarded.
Sorry, trial scientist.
Now, isn't it true that your job, the job of the entire company, is to manipulate juries so that your clients win favorable outcomes in matters before the courts? Well, no.
We don't manipulate anyone.
We assist in jury selection, research trial strategies.
Our in-house attorney will often represent clients.
Basically, we try to add science and an understanding of human behavior into the trial process in ways that help lawyers assist their clients.
Do you deny that the company you work for has a team of people using highly advanced algorithms and invasive personal data about potential jurors to help attorneys and clients zero in on those most likely to vote in their favor? No.
I don't deny any of that at all.
But I do deny that it's manipulation or that it's in any way deceitful.
Since when is being smarter than the other guy deceitful? And isn't it true that you rehearse witnesses? Test certain pieces of testimony to see which lines are most effective.
Which answers elicit which emotions from which jurors? The witness will answer the question.
Yes.
It's a technique employed by many attorneys all over the world.
And how long did it take you and your team to write and test that answer to your attorney's question about whether or not any money you illegally wrest - from my client - Objection! - will improve your life? - The attorney is testifying and being misleading, not to mention badgering the witness and citing facts not in evidence.
That's not how it works.
- Everything I said, those were my words.
- Order! - My feelings.
- Order! Objection sustained.
Jury will disregard counsel's last question and the witness's answer.
Sorry for overstepping, Your Honor.
I have no further questions at this time.
Thank you for coming over so late.
I'd have come to you, but the boys are both asleep.
I totally understand.
I'm sure you're upset.
- That last round of testimony - I actually don't care.
Excuse me? I found something that makes it all moot.
So, when the case started, someone who shall not be named hacked into Jade Bennington's cell phone and started recording all of her conversations.
Oh, my God.
Taylor? Now, before you lecture me on how I've crossed the line, just listen to what I found.
Now, I've captured hours and hours of recordings and I haven't been able to listen to it all, but I set up a keyword alert to help me sift through it all.
And tonight I finally struck gold.
You're not going to flake on me in court tomorrow, are you? That's Jade Bennington.
I said I'd be there, and I'll be there.
And that's Sonya Waliczek, the ambassador's daughter.
My lawyer said that lady's attorney is super tough.
That he's going to try to get us to crack.
You can't admit that I was driving.
Come on.
I'm not stupid.
But he might try to trick you.
Jade, listen to me.
I've got you.
There it is.
This proves it.
Jade was driving.
Uh, yeah, it does.
But you know we can't use it.
The judge will never allow it into evidence.
It's an illegal recording.
I know that.
But I was thinking maybe I'd post it on Jade's "rich kids of whatever" account.
At least that way, the world will know the truth.
Even if the jury doesn't.
No, you can't.
You cannot, under any circumstances, post this recording online or anywhere else.
You were eavesdropping on a diplomat's family.
Do you understand how big of a deal that is? They will send you to prison if they find out you posted it.
And they will find out.
You don't know that.
No.
I do know that.
Taylor, these are powerful people.
And do you really think that this is what Caroline wants you to do? Who is gonna look out for Henry? Who is gonna look out for Mauricio? Now give it to me.
- Give what to you? - The laptop.
Why? So you don't do anything stupid.
You'll get this back when the trial is over.
Until then, you can borrow one of the company's.
I hate you.
I know.
I hate you, too.
Good luck in court tomorrow.
I'm gonna need it.
Please state your name for the record.
Sonya Waliczek.
Ms.
Waliczek, on the night of March 4, were you involved in a car accident? I was.
Can you please tell the court what happened? I was out with a friend.
And when I was driving us home at the end of the night, I thought I could make a light.
So I sped up.
But right when I went through the light, this woman Do you need a moment? This woman was crossing the street.
So I slammed on the brakes, but she just I hit her.
And after you struck Ms.
Collins, then what happened? I drove away.
- And your friend, the defendant, - Jade Bennington, was she in the car with you that night? Yes, she was.
But just to be clear, who was driving? I was.
I have no further questions, Your Honor.
Good morning, Ms.
Waliczek.
Here's a question for you.
Do you understand that if Jade Bennington had been driving the car that struck and killed Ms.
Collins, she could be prosecuted criminally? Yes.
But you already confessed to driving the car that struck and killed Ms.
Collins.
So why aren't you being prosecuted? My father is an ambassador.
I have diplomatic immunity.
And isn't it true that diplomatic immunity also protects you from being sued in civil court? That's my understanding.
So, in truth, you risk nothing by confessing to this crime.
Do you, Ms.
Waliczek? Objection.
Asked and answered.
I think Mr.
Colón has made his point, Your Honor.
I disagree.
Overruled.
The witness will answer the question.
I'm sorry.
What was the question? Well, I was asking if you risk anything by confessing to striking Ms.
Collins with your Lamborghini Urus, killing her, and then leaving the scene of the crime.
No.
I mean, because isn't that the reason why you're confessing to a crime you didn't commit? Because Jade Bennington is your best friend, and she could be sent to prison for killing Ms.
Collins, but you can't? Do you honestly think I'd admit to killing someone if I didn't do it? That I'd go through my entire life letting the world think I was a murderer when I wasn't? Do you know what this has done to my family? My father, a man who's spent his entire life earning the confidence and trust of his government, spent the last ten years earning the confidence and trust of your government, knowing that people think his daughter is just some spoiled, irresponsible party girl that killed someone and is gonna get away with it? Talk about a well-written, well-rehearsed piece of testimony.
Look at 'em.
They're completely buying what she's selling.
Sure.
But what's in it for me? What do you mean? So you're saying the woman's voice is Jade's? Exactly.
Turns out Taylor's been secretly recording all of Jade's cell phone conversations.
- Excuse me? - You know that's against the law.
I went through all that with her, even made her give me her laptop.
But then I found myself going through everything to see if there might be some bread crumbs that would lead us to something we can use legally.
And? And I think I found something Taylor missed.
I don't know who she's talking to, but it seems important.
Well, it's a pretty big ask.
I thought I might get a pretty big thank you in return? I can show you what I had in mind if you can come over tonight.
You're disgusting, Geoffrey.
I'm in serious trouble and I need to know if you're going to help me or not.
Of course I'm gonna help you.
I-I was just kidding.
If anyone asks, I'll swear I never even saw you that night.
So his first name is Geoffrey.
All right, well, since she dialed him, I'll be able to hear the tones and figure out the number she was calling.
I should have his last name in about 20 minutes.
Would you like me to pay him a visit? That would be great.
I mean, it sounds from the conversation that he knows something, don't you think? Only one way to find out.
Hello.
Hi.
Good afternoon.
I was hoping I might be able to speak with Geoffrey Conover.
May I say who's here to see Mr.
Conover? I've got this, Paula.
And exactly why do you want to speak with my son? My name's Danny James.
I'm an investigator working for a firm that's handling a lawsuit against Jade Bennington.
I've been speaking with all of Jade's friends, and I was hoping to ask Geoffrey a few questions about a car accident that Jade was involved in.
No, I'm sorry.
My son's not talking to you.
I can get a subpoena if you prefer, Mr.
Conover.
I'd like you to remove yourself from my property.
Your Honor, we have reason to believe that Geoffrey Conover has highly relevant and dispositive information about this case.
Regardless of what counsel believes, I have a letter from Geoffrey's psychiatrist, and she is quite emphatic about the fact that Geoffrey suffers from extreme anxiety, and that testifying in court would be an undue emotional hardship for him.
Well, paying a very expensive lawyer clearly shows that the Conover family is interested in making sure that their son does not testify under oath, - and on that basis alone, I - Dr.
Bull, Mr.
Colón on what factual basis have you come to believe that Mr.
Conover has information that's relevant to this case? Well, based on publicly available social media posts, it's clear Ms.
Bennington and Mr.
Conover have been in regular contact since the accident.
Really? Clearly, Your Honor, this is a fishing expedition.
I'm inclined to agree.
The fact that two people have social media postings that imply a friendship seems like an awfully thin premise on which to call an emotionally fragile boy to the stand.
I'm granting the motion to quash your subpoena.
Dr.
Bull, Benny thanks for trying for Caroline and Henry.
Hey, hey.
It's not over until it's over, right? Well, unfortunately, unless we can come up with some concrete new evidence that puts Jade in the driver's seat, I fear Taylor's probably right.
You know, the Conovers' place? It's covered in security cameras.
We could subpoena the footage.
And what do you expect to see? The accident happened on Sixth Avenue, and the club they came from is downtown.
Well, once I realized that Jade was speaking to this Conover kid, I did a little sleuthing on social media.
You what? And I discovered he never left the house that night.
Geoffrey Conover was on Twitch, live streaming his video game play the whole time.
So he could not have been out with Sonya or Jade.
Well, so what is it that Jade is afraid he'll give up? Well, whatever it is, it had to have happened at that house.
And I'm willing to bet no security camera is gonna be too emotionally fragile to share it with us.
So what's your theory here? Are you saying that after the accident, maybe the girls went over to his house and told him what really happened? None of it matters.
The court's never gonna grant a subpoena on private video footage without proof that it will yield fruit.
And the only proof we have are Taylor's recordings, which we cannot use.
You know, as wealthy as the Conovers are, I bet security cameras aren't the only things with eyes in that house.
What do you mean? Well, they had to have help, right? They're rich people.
They got to have, like, a houseman or a housekeeper or, uh, maybe some nannies.
There was a housekeeper.
She answered the door when I went over to speak with Geoffrey.
Ms.
Moyer, thank you for agreeing to testify today.
Some men came to the door.
They gave me a piece of paper and said I had no choice.
Yes.
We subpoenaed you.
Nonetheless, we're grateful that you're here.
Now, would you mind telling the court where it is you work? I work for the Conover family.
I'm their live-in housekeeper.
And as their live-in housekeeper, is it part of your duties to answer the door for guests? - Yes.
- And what happens at night? If a guest arrives after hours? Maybe when you're already in bed? If someone rings the doorbell or buzzes the gate for the garage at night, there's an alarm in my quarters.
And why is that? The Conovers' son Mr.
Geoffrey often forgets his keys when he goes out.
His parents don't like to be bothered after they've gone to bed.
Now on the night of March 4, the day that Caroline Collins was struck dead, you were awakened by someone buzzing the gate for the garage? Yes.
It was some friends of Mr.
Geoffrey's.
They were very upset, so I buzzed them in and went down to the garage to greet them.
Now, Ms.
Moyer, what kind of car did you buzz into the garage? It was a black Lamborghini.
And did you see who came out of the driver's side of the car? Yes.
It was her.
$10 million.
I'm not sure I can even count that high.
Now that you know his future is financially assured, where are you when it comes to Henry? Deep down, I think he wants to stay here for the same reasons I want him to stay here.
Because we both feel we owe it to his mom.
I'm just not sure that's the best reason.
So what are you gonna do? He has a best friend named Toby.
I've been speaking with his parents.
They're really excited about the idea of Henry coming to live with them.
He'd be in his same school, near all of his friends.
Oh.
Have you looked into these people? I've run more background checks on them than I did on any terrorist while I was at Homeland.
But at the end of the day, I think I have to leave it up to him.
He hasn't chosen any of the things that have happened to him.
I think he has the right to choose where to go next.
There you are.
I could've sworn I looked under there.
Socks are tricky.
Socks are devious.
You'll start doing your own laundry, and you'll see.
What happens when I go back to Denver and I can't find something? That won't happen.
You've got Toby, you've got his parents.
And if you lose something really important, you'll call me.
I'll fly out there, I'll help you look.
You're still going to the funeral, right? Weekend after next, Mauricio and I.
I really miss your mother.
Me, too.
Toby's here.
Hey, Henry.
Henry it's so good to see you.
Welcome to New York, Henry's best friend and his parents.
