The Closer s05e14 Episode Script
Make Over
You look great.
Besides, you can't be picky If you're gonna make me do all the shopping last-minute.
And big bear definitely has cellular service -- you checked? It's not the tundra.
It's two hours away.
Besides, with our ski packages, we're gonna be so busy, We might actually forget about work for a while.
D.
D.
A.
Hobbs, you remember Chief johnson, and this is her husband, Fbi special agent fritz howard.
Uh, sorry to Inteupt.
I just wanted to make sure you're all set for Monday.
On the oxy lab case.
Oxy lab.
Yes, of course.
All set.
Uh What time on Monday? The trial starts at 9:00 a.
M.
Trial.
Right.
So I'll see you in court.
Yes, you will -- bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
You have no idea what she was talking about, do you? No.
Oxy lab used to handle some toxicology tests For the city.
Unfortunately, the lab was discredited nine months ago.
Okay.
I read about that.
And 42 verdicts were overturned, most of them d.
U.
I.
S, But one of them was a murder, Which, for the last several weeks, Has belonged to major crimes.
You're kidding me! What murder? Okay, seven years ago, A woman named doris osgood impersonated a nurse For some rich banker with terminal cancer.
Now, she robbed the guy blind.
Then she killed him with an overdose of morphine.
Tox results from the old guy's blood were thrown out As evidence when oxy lab was discredited.
A-and this goes to trial on Monday? Commander, when were you planning On telling me about this? Chief, I handed the murder over to major crimes a month ago.
To whom? Chief, I didn't want to burden you.
Uh, it's an old case I worked with my ex-partner, George andrews.
Great cop -- retired way too young.
Anyway, I'm -- I'm picking him up at the train station.
And you're all ready for the trial on Monday, lieutenant? See, george got this spontaneous confession From this fake nurse.
I mean, she told him everything, Including how she overdosed the guy She was caring for on morphine.
All we have to do is put george on the stand.
And doris osgood will be back in prison For the rest of her life.
And we can go to big bear.
Yes, please, go! I mean, chief, really, When have I ever steered you wrong, hmm? I think I should wait, A-and meet this detective andrews, Just -- just to go over his testimony.
Honey, you and I will go to lunch, And then we'll come back, And then we'll drive up to the cabin, okay? Provenza: The guy's death certificate said "natural causes.
" And it was only because osgood tried to fence That stupid painting -- The chagall.
I know.
I remember.
If it hadn't been for that boneheaded move, George and I might never have found -- Found her.
I know.
And that confession -- One of the greatest moments in l.
A.
P.
D.
History.
George seduced that osgood woman into -- Into giving up everything! Oh, yeah.
yeah.
George andrews was the best partner a cop could ask for, Hands down.
Really? Thanks.
Hey! Hey, why don't you come out with us tonight, huh? We'll have some drinks, maybe, uh, find some ladies.
That's all right, casanova.
calm down.
All right.
If you don't want to go, that's fine.
Myself, I've -- I've been feeling a little lonely lately.
But there is no shortage of women when george is around.
Guess who, old man.
George, my man! It is -- It's "georgette" now! Do you believe the balls on this guy, flynn? Um, I don't think I -- uh Oh, it's a joke! Go ahead.
Tell him it's a joke, george.
It's not a joke.
George This, uh It's the real me Finally.
Hobbs: We have a huge problem here.
Yeah, about a size 44d.
Lieutenant provenza, how did this happen? Well, I assume a scalpel was involved.
Uh, chief, in -- in here.
Oh! Did everything go okay with detective andrews At the train station? Well, actually, uh, as iturns out, chief, He isn't exactly Available.
Well, at least not all of him.
Shut up, flynn.
I-I-I know that I told you I would handle everything, and That's detective andrews? It is.
Oh, for heaven's sakes.
Heaven had nothing to do with this.
Wait a minute.
Is it just the dress, or did he, you know, go all the way? Oh, yeah, he's a real lady.
And I can't put detective andrews on the stand like that.
Why not? We need her testimony, not her testicles.
All osgood's lawyers need to say Is that if andrews was confused about his gender, Maybe he was also confused about what osgood told him.
Hobbs is right.
It goes to credibility.
ButDetective andrews is the only person Who can testify To osgood's spontaneous and unrecorded confession.
Without that -- Look, if we were trying this case in santa monica, I'd say, "roll the dice," but we're not.
We're in the north valley on this one.
The jury there will never see Past detective andrews' makeup.
And osgood's son has hired some of the best defense attorneys around.
So you're just gonna let a murderer go free? Well, I believe the thought was That maybe we should try to get george To take the stand as a man.
Right.
And since this is your case You want me To talk detective andrews out of his dress? I've never even met him -- her.
That's why lieutenant provenza will accompany you.
Buzz, you got any duct tape in here? Yeah, the second drawer of that cabinet.
The sooner you convince andrews, The sooner we head to the hills.
All right, everyone, get busy! This is not a zoo -- I mean it.
Unh, unh! Sanchez, not a word.
Detective andrews I'm deputy chief brenda leigh johnson.
It is such a pleasure to meet you.
Oh, well, the pleasure is mine.
I love your parka.
Oh.
Oh, thank you.
It's forSkiing.
Hmm.
Anyway, um, welcome back.
Oh.
That's nice of you to say.
And I guess I should apologize For showing up, uh Unannounced.
But when this case was overturned, I-I felt it was my duty To, uh, put aside my -- my personal worries.
No apology necessary.
Um, why don't you have a seat? Oh, thank you.
Um Because, uh, a-as you know, We no longer possess the clinical sample Of the morphine used in the murder.
And since you did such excellent work In obtaining that spontaneous confession, We also never got any other evidence.
So, um There are someConcerns on the part of the d.
A.
-- Oh, for god's sake! Here's the deal -- You can't take the stand looking like that, george.
So, strap 'em down.
Lose the dress.
Cut the hair.
Man up! Sorry.
I'm afraid I can't do that.
What -- you'd rather walk around here, Waving those fun bags in the air?! All right, lieutenant, that's enough! That's not what I'm saying! Let me explain, please.
Thank you.
Detective andrews, D.
D.
A.
Hobbs feels that she cannot put you on the stand As a woman.
Well, I'm very sorry to hear you say that, Because I absolutely refuse to participate in this trial Dressed up like a man! Not only would I be committing perjury, I'd be lying to myself, And I've gone to a great deal of trouble Not to do that anymore.
Oh, lord have mercy! So, now what? We wait.
She's a woman now.
maybe she'll change her mind.
So Enjoy the protests.
Uh Excuse me.
You know, andrews, When those doctors cut your balls off, You should have had them pull the stick out of your ass At the same time! Oh! you -- You Of all people -- you.
I I What's happening? What -- What's he doing? What do you think she's doing? She's crying.
You've hurt her feelings.
Feelings?! Yes, my feelings! You -- you insensitive bastard.
I came here despite enormous fears, Because I wanted to do the right thing, And you've done nothing but insult me Since I stepped off that train.
Well, I'm not going to let you bully me Into raising my hand And swearing that I'm a man.
I won't do it! I can't.
Aw.
I can't.
Oh, of course you can't.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I Great.
So now we have no case.
Yep, and no travel insurance.
So, is hobbs gonna dismiss the case? Um, not quite yet.
Um, provided lieutenant provenza treats her better, Detective andrews has agreed to stay.
Maybe she can help us find something Other than the spontaneous confession To connect doris osgood to the murder.
So you're not going, then.
I can't.
I'm sorry.
Well, why don't we reschedule? No, no, no.
It's okay.
I-I know how much you were looking forward To us learning how to ski.
Oh, I'm still going.
huh? We already bought the package -- The hotel room, The lessons, the -- The massages.
It's all been paid for.
Oh, but you -- you can't go without me.
Oh, I'll just drop joel at home, And I'll e-mail you some pictures -- yeah.
Oh! Have a nice murder.
hey.
We bought massages? In the seven weeks doris osgood spent impersonating a nurse In order to care for charles billings, She forged her signature on 23 checks And took out seven credit cards in his name.
In all, she managed to steal almost $55,000.
Uh, billings had five grown kids, Uh, but none of them noticed the theft Because they were ripping him off, too.
But the old man finally got suspicious.
That's why she killed him.
A few days later, she tried selling his chagall, But the dealer she took it to called the police.
Uh, we got an autopsy.
Uh, oxy lab found the excessive dose of morphine In billings' system.
Questions, anyone? Uh, yes.
Uh, detective andrews, sir -- Ma'am.
What happened to your penis? detective sanchez, That is not an appropriate question! No, no, no, no.
It's fine, chief johnson.
In fact, I'd like to answer, if it's okay with you.
Interestingly enough, detective, I still have a lot of the same equipment I had prior to the surgery.
It's just been inverted And, uh, refashioned To look pretty much like any other woman's sex organs.
In fact, the advances they've made in vaginoplasty Are truly amazing.
Okay, that's very informative.
Uh, one second, chief.
Thank you so much.
So, do you like men or women now? As a matter of fact, I still like women.
What? What? You had a sex change to become a lesbian? The change I underwent Had nothing to do with my sexual preference.
It was more about how I identified With the world personally, And you weren't bothered that I was a lesbian When I was a guy.
Oh, I'm sorry.
All I heard was, "blah, blah, blah, lesbian.
" Do you currently have a girlfriend? Uh, detective sanchez Enough.
Detective andrews, Um, doris osgood never really was a registered nurse -- Is that correct? Yes, it turns out osgood stole the identity Of an r.
N.
Named jane wesh, And she used her credentials to land a position At the doctor's office where charles billings was a patient.
And when billings needed home care, Osgood volunteered.
Wow.
She really thought this thing out.
Mm, and she was good at it, too -- Playing nurse, I mean -- In fact, so good, I thought she may have pulled the scam before.
But her confession got her life without parole, So we -- we never pursued it.
I mean, if we had any priors, we wouldn't need osgood's confession.
Well, we have osgood's confession.
Just because empty pants here won't bite the bullet And put on the clothes that he was born to wear Doesn't mean that we can't have somebody read his testimony In court.
I believe you can only do that if he isn't available.
He-e-e-e isn't available! This is not what we agreed to.
Lieutenant, that is enough.
Detective andrews is here on behalf of the l.
A.
P.
D.
, And he's entitled to a supportive workplace.
Plus, I was really looking forward To staying at your house while I was here.
All right.
All right.
My house -- fine.
Just -- Just don'tCry again, Please, god.
How old is this picture of doris osgood? Just a few weeks.
Lompoc took it before she was sent back to county.
Is there anything older in her file? Uh, just an old dmv photo And an old booking photo from 2002.
If billings wasn't her first victim, Maybe there are others out there she murdered the same way.
Uh, let's get ahold of ramos And have him publish these pictures in the paper.
Maybe someone remembers doris osgood As a very bad nurse.
Chief, might I suggest That you publish some additional photos of osgood? You never know exactly how much someone's appearance Might have changed over time.
D.
D.
A.
Hobbs mentioned that doris osgood's son Was very involved in her defense.
Why don't we invite him to stop by? Maybe he can help us find some more pictures of his mom.
Uh, chief, we're the enemy.
why would osgood's son want to help us? Mr.
Osgood, we believe that some mistakes may have been made In the investigation of your mother's case, Even beyond this whole oxy lab mess.
A mistake like sending an innocent woman to prison For the rest of her life? Well, if that's what happened, sir, The last thing the justice system would want Is to put your mother back in jail.
Why should I believe that? Well, I-I've been studying your mother's case and Have a seat, ma'am.
Oh, thank you.
Opened credit cards in mr.
Billings' name, Tried to fence a chagall from his art collection, Stole the identity of an r.
N.
, and impersonated a nurse, It doesn't necessarily follow That she murdered the poor old man.
He could have just as easily up and died of natural causes.
Okay, now, see, that's what I've been saying To anyone who would listen for the last seven years.
My mother did nothing but try her very best To take care of mr.
Billings.
Yeah, until she killed him.
Believe me -- if she had her choice, Mom would have been off to nursing school so fast So, she always wanted to work in the healthcare industry? Oh, yeah, but she gave up on that to put me through college.
My mom wanted to save lives, not end them.
That's why I can't stop till I prove she's innocent, Why I've hired new lawyers, filed these appeals.
It's taken nearly every penny I have.
Well, it's been money well spent, sir, Because she's almost free.
If it weren't for that confession She didn't confess.
That cop -- He propositioned my mom, to put it nicely.
and when she turned him down, He got so angry, he lied And said she admitted to murdering billings.
So Was osgood your type? Mnh, not so much.
I've always been more into blond, bossy gals.
Well, I apologize for that, sir.
And the officer who arrested your mom Doesn't work here anymore.
So, let's see if we can set the record straight.
What can I do to help you here? Well, if we could track back Through your mother's employment history And find that there's no other evidence of theft or fraud, We probably could convince the district attorney To drop all charges.
Seriously? This could happen? If we could talk to some of the people That she worked for prior to billings, If you remember their names Oh, I know them all.
Do you want her last job to her first? That would be wonderful.
She worked at city mutual bank for a while.
And not only did she not steal anything, Mom was employee of the month three times.
Good for her.
Gabriel: And before that? She was an assistant manager at mondro tech in the valley.
She did data entry for a beverly hills law firm -- Sustin & raber.
And she worked as an assistant administrator at tech "u" For two years.
And before that, She drove for goody's limo company in the valley.
And, uh, she sold used cars for murphy's preowned sedans.
That's the thing, you know? Mom was always searching, Going from job to job, taking care of me, Without ever having time to really find herself.
This isn't a story, just -- just a bunch of pictures.
What do you mean? It's a great story.
Or it will be, When your newspaper helps us Identify doris osgood's other victims.
If there are other victims.
Mr.
Ramos, in the interests of public safety, Your newspaper is obligated -- From the little I understand, commander, Osgood's danger to the public Is highly speculative at this point.
And if it turns out that she isn't guilty, We could be accused of libel, right? so, if you want the pictures published, Buy an ad.
Unh-unh, there's no money for that.
Okay, then you can be really radical And let ms.
Andrews testify as a woman.
Yeah, good, fine.
Okay.
It's an ad.
Great.
I highly recommend the double page at the center fold, Just to grab people's Full color, of course.
Of course.
Thanks, ricardo.
You know, listen, I might be able To, uh, get you a discount If you want to let me know who this ms.
-Bye-bye.
-Andrews really is.
- Morning, louie.
- Look at that.
I'm surprised pope sprang for it.
Well, chief johnson gets what she wants.
Well, with a caboose like that, of course she does.
Do you think the ad's gonna work? Who knows? Of course, wouldn't have to worry about it If you'd stop screwing around and do what's right.
Oh, come on.
We had an agreement.
You were going to be -- Did you think you could just sashay off the train And everything would be like old times? We're old friends, louie.
No! No, I was friends with a guy named george, Who doesn't exist anymore.
Maybe he never did exist.
Oh.
Maybe one of the greatest confessions In the history of the l.
A.
P.
D.
Never existed! Nobody else ever heard doris osgood say -- All right, that's really low! You know I was much too good a cop To file a false confession! And, yes, I look different.
I'm not a man anymore, Which means I don't pee standing up.
I wear a dress instead of a suit.
I walk differently.
I've changed how I do a lot of things, But not what's in my heart! I've always been your friend, louie.
You can't turn your back on all the years.
Look at you.
You're not even listening.
The second people start talking about their feelings, you -- No.
No, no.
Wait.
Wait.
We were thinking doris osgood Only changed her appearance.
Right.
Maybe it was more than that.
Maybe we caught her doing to billings What she had done to other people Because she not only changed what she looked like She changed her entire m.
O.
oh, yes.
We've had four callers responding to our ad so far, And each one remembers doris osgood providing care To a rich old family member as a nurse, And in each case, the patient supposedly died Of natural causes.
Well, somehow, she did something differently with billings.
That's why we caught her.
Each of them knew osgood by a different name, Names that we were able to confirm Were actual r.
N.
S working here in los angeles county.
So she stole their identities, too.
That's exactly the same m.
O.
Gabriel: No, it's not.
Osgood got the job with billings By working at his doctor's office, But each of the callers said that she was referred to them By an agency that no longer exists -- An rn home aid? See? See? That's what we're saying.
Well, a-as fascinating as that may be, lieutenant, How would knowing that she changed her m.
O.
Get us any closer to tying her to a murder? We -- we don't know that yet, But it's the key -- I'm sure.
Chief, I got a woman on the phone Who says she thinks osgood murdered her father in 2001.
Ms.
Casey, thank you so much for coming in to visit with us.
I'm deputy chief johnson.
Oh, it's nothing, dear.
Now that I get all my programs recorded, I don't have to miss anything.
Oh, that's good.
And, now, I'm told that you're here today In response to the photographs That we put in the paper this morning? Yes, that's right.
I knew that woman was a menace.
And by "that woman," you mean, uh, mrs.
Doris osgood, The woman you knew as nurse linda parker? Yes Right again.
I remember her.
She had all her paperwork -- Social security number, a nurse's license, And even a referral from the agency.
And that would be Rn home aid? You're 3 for 3.
And what led you to use their services? Oh, I think -- I think there was an issue With one of the other nurses we had hired, And daddy's insurance company recommended that we replace her.
And they gave you the name of the agency? That I can't recall.
You said a moment ago that doris osgood was a "menace.
" Can you tell me what you mean by that? A monet disappeared from my daddy's art collection The day after he fell down the stairs and died.
And I suspected that woman had taken it.
So what did you do? I contacted the insurance company, And one of their security people got the painting back, And he put the blame on one of our gardeners, Who fled to mexico to avoid arrest.
Where are you going? Well, I'm gonna go see if I can talk to the guy Who brought that painting back.
I can't imagine how he got there.
Um The man didn't even have a car! You want to come with me? Let's go.
He must have fled on foot! Some of them do that, you know.
But I never believed That gardener knew the value of the monet, Even though they were water lilies.
Uh, you said your father fell down the stairs.
Was there an investigation made into his death? There should have been, don't you think? My daddy was confined to a wheelchair for months.
He was so terrified of the steps.
Why he rode himself to the edge of the stairway I'll never know.
Uh, detective gabriel, I want exhumation orders on all of the patients That we can trace back to doris osgood.
Are we clearing this with chief pope? I will, just as soon as I'm done.
Mm, nice shoes.
Oh! Thank you.
um Oh You're familiar with mr.
Casey.
He had several broken bones, indicative of a bad fall.
Can't say whether he was pushed down the stairs Or slipped on his own.
Next, patients 2 and 3 -- Death certificates say they died of natural causes, But, frankly, when you dig up bodies this old, You'd be better off taking them to an archaeologist.
Could you do a tox screen on their bones, just in case? Could you give me a hand? Thank you.
Moving on.
Patient 4 -- Death certificate says "tural causes," But -- detective.
Ohh! Look there.
Hmm? Her neck is broken -- Not proof of homicide, But it's hard to believe she did it on her own.
Hmm.
Wasn't the -- ugh -- wasn't the body autopsied? No, none of them were Because they were all old and sick, And each of the physicians signed off on cause of death.
And the last body, doctor? Yes.
This poor lady was in a coma for two weeks Prior to her death.
Certificate says "natural causes," But I have my doubts Because Ew, what is that? It's the cap to a nasal-spray bottle, detective.
I'm guessing someone shoved this down this woman's throat, And she choked to death on it.
I don't see anything natural about that.
- Here you go, chief.
- Oh, thank you.
- You exhumed five bodies?! - I'm sorry.
It's crunch time for doris osgood, And for your information, Three of those bodies appear to have died Under suspicious circumstances.
And you can connect osgood to those cases? Well, we're trying to.
Lieutenant provenza.
Well, let's start way back at the beginning.
Insurance companies like to do background checks On anybody who has access to the valuables Of their richest clients.
Housekeepers, gardeners Or nurses.
Exactly.
Now, in each of the cases of potential murder here, Uh, all of the families had different insurance companies.
But each company contracted background checks With the same security analyst.
And that security analyst's name is sam osgood.
Doris osgood's son.
We found him because he's the same guy Who returned ms.
Casey's stolen monet.
You think sam osgood is his mother's accomplice.
He's the reason that the people for whom she worked Never reported anything missing.
Sam osgood covered it up.
Except with billings, Where it looks like his mom was flying solo.
And that's the change in doris' m.
O.
-- She stopped working with her son! None of which proves murder.
Chief, I got doris osgood in interview 1.
Oh, thank you so much, detective.
Whoa.
What is she doing here? We're hoping that, with a little encouragement, Mrs.
Osgood might confess again.
What -- what kind of encour-- Wow.
Morning, fellas.
Chief johnson.
There's the george that I remember.
And there's the louie I miss.
Uh, detective gabriel, if you wouldn't mind, Let's get ready to bring mr.
Osgood Into the electronics room, please.
What exactly makes this different From taking the stand, detective? I'm not perjuring myself in the interview room, chief.
It's just a little undercover work.
Uh-huh, and what makes you think that George can get your confession? Let's call it women's intuition.
Yeah.
Doris, nice to see you again.
Don't even think about it.
You remember lieutenant provenza.
Listen What happened seven years ago, How I led you on -- I-I-I really do apologize.
I know you're much too smart To fall for that kind of thing again.
Oh, those eyes -- Just as beautiful as I remember.
And you're still full of crap.
My son said you didn't work here anymore.
And yet here I am.
How have you been? Lonely Like you care.
These past seven years -- you have no idea.
I do.
You've been in prison for a long time, And people look at you like, uh, you're someone you're not.
You have no opportunity just to be yourself.
Doris, I can relate.
Can we move this along, please? Oh -- Look, you can't question me about the billings case Without my lawyers present.
We want to talk to you about an entirely different matter.
Like what? Oh, come on, doris.
We know that billings wasn't your first target.
Lieutenant.
I mean -- I mean -- lieutenant, please.
You've been running this nurse scam for years.
Mr.
Osgood, thank you so much for coming in.
We thought you might like to see this.
We've got you nailed on at least five other incidents.
This is not constructive.
My mother? We know about the agency.
Where's her lawyer? We know about the art thefts.
We talked about this.
Well, we do! Have a seat, mr.
Osgood.
We're about to drop the billings case.
We told your mother that before we read her her rights.
Please! We know about the identity theft! I don't know what you're trying to pull here.
Just a second.
Doris, I'm sorry.
Why don't you give us a minute? He can be a real jerk.
I apologize.
That's him -- That's the cop she confessed to last time.
You said he didn't work here anymore.
He doesn't.
Doris, you should know That I actually think that the other five thefts We've discovered are good news for you and your lawyers.
"good news.
" how? This guy's unbelievable.
She's not gonna fall for the same lies again.
When you told me That you killed charles billings seven years ago, You sold your story like a pro, But just between you and me, I think you were only trying to protect your son.
What? Now, I know you love sam.
You think he's been in your corner for this retrial, But when he offered up the information About all those people that you robbed While impersonating a nurse Why, I never Sam wouldn't make up things like that.
That's a lie.
He's lying to her! What are you talking about? Your son is trying to bury you, doris Easy.
Make us put you away for good So he can keep all the money.
He got you those jobs.
He -- he picked the artwork for you to steal.
And then sam fenced it -- isn't that right? You're a loving, trusting mother Exploited by a psychotic child Who's selling you out for his own gain.
No.
No.
That can't be true.
Doris How would I know about all this If sam hadn't told me? And I'm truly sorry That I helped put you in prison, So, please, help me set you free.
After all I gave up for him.
When he came up with this plan, I -- Well, I knew it was wrong.
What is she saying? When he was working for the insurance company.
Oh, my god.
Yeah.
They'd hired him to do background checks.
I was so proud of him at first.
Background checks? On whom, exactly? Employees of their wealthy clients.
As a security analyst, he -- He'd have access to people's homes, and And when he found a rich person who, uh, had home care -- And, I mean, who else could afford it? -- He'd pretend that someone on the nursing staff Was a security risk and get them fired, And then Well, he would refer the family to this agency That he'd set up.
Which was a sham, correct? I was the only one there.
And with his position, he was Able to steal me new identities.
Ohh, I didn't want to do it, I swear, but when it started, He told me at first That I was just Finally gonna get to be a nurse.
My own mother.
I can't believe it.
Good.
That's so good.
Um, just, um Write down what we talked about.
Okay.
And, uh We're gonna put an end to this.
Okay.
Yeah.
You know you have absolutely nothing to hold me on.
Because your mother thought up the whole thing, didn't she? She convinced you to get her jobs in rich people's homes, And once she was in, she stole what she wanted And demanded that you fence it for her.
You! Hey! Hey, whoa, whoa! Ugh! You may want to rethink this, sonny.
Oh you know what? It doesn't make any difference what any of u believe, Because we're more than 7 years out on all these crimes, And as a professional security analyst, I'm happy to inform you That the statute of limitations ran out On these so-called "thefts" a long time ago.
On the thefts, yes, but not on the murders.
Murders.
What murders? Hey, billings -- That's still just his word against hers.
Besides, I wasn't even working with her.
She's not talking about billings.
She's talking about all the other people That died under your mother's care.
They were old.
It's called natural causes.
I have evidence to the contrary, mr.
Osgood.
Pope: And from what your mother just told us, It shouldn't be too hard to convince a jury That you were responsible for several other murders, also.
U-unless -- unless Your mother was the one who killed those people.
Come on.
What do you want from me? I can't.
She's my mom.
Who just rolled on you.
What are you protecting her for? It's either you or her, sir.
All right, then.
Detective, would you take mr.
Osgood downstairs And book him -- no.
No, wait.
Okay.
Okay.
She killed her patients, all right? She killed her patients.
And when she got away with it the first time, it -- It just got easier for her.
Who? Who did she kill? The ones who got suspicious.
I don't remember their names.
One she strangled.
Breaking her neck in the process? She, uh, stuffed something down the second one's throat.
Well, that would be a nasal-spray cap.
And pushed the third one down the stairs.
That'd be ms.
Casey's father.
And after his daughter called me, all suspicious About the monet that your mother stole? Which I had to pull back from my fence And return to the family, I realized that she'd gone too far.
I wanted out.
I I told her to stop.
But she couldn't, so she went on without me.
And just like I thought, She got caught after murdering that poor mr.
Billings.
Oh, my god.
Very good, mr.
Osgood.
I know how difficult that must have been.
Detective, would you please take mr.
Osgood - Downstairs and book him for - What? Book me? You can't hold me on those thefts.
True, but I'm sure they'll come up at your murder trial.
That was my mother! And you were her partner and aware of her actions.
But I didn't kill them myself! Well, mr.
Osgood, as one "professional" to another, I'm happy to inform you That the law doesn't see it that way.
Detective.
Now, gentlemen, would you please do the honors And arrest our florence nightingale? Ladies first.
Oh, I wish you'd pick up.
I'm grabbing my things And driving up to big bear for the last night.
Fritzi? I'm in the bathroom! What are you doing?! Well On the chair lift going up the bunny slope this afternoon, I just realized I missed you.
Oh! Yeah, the truth is, I don't like traveling anymore without my wife.
That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard.
Also, on the first run, This 12-year-old kid cut me off ani hurt my knee.
Ohh.
Now, get in here! Whoa! Oh, no! Oh, no! Get in here.
Flynn: Here's to unmasking the bad guys.
Hear, hear! Whoo! Whoo-hoo-hoo! Listen.
I, um, I want to apologize For being unable To completely come to grips with this thing.
Louie, I know it's not easy.
It wasn't for me, either.
hey, I mean, you know, If you were 20 years younger and I had never met you Mm-hmm? And if you weren't a lesbian You'd be perfect for each other.
Well, I I'm not sure I even have it in me anymore.
Oh, you still have it in you.
Well, I mean Huh? I mean, wow.
oh, I know.
They're nice, huh? Flynn, you ought to check these out! Yeah.
No thanks.
I'm good.
I should probably get on board.
Uh, andy Let's not go so long next time.
Louie Thanks for everything.
That was a brave thing you did -- coming back Georgette.
It was good for me, too.
SoYou ready to go, louie? Call me that just once more, And georgette won't be my only ex-partner without a penis.
Besides, you can't be picky If you're gonna make me do all the shopping last-minute.
And big bear definitely has cellular service -- you checked? It's not the tundra.
It's two hours away.
Besides, with our ski packages, we're gonna be so busy, We might actually forget about work for a while.
D.
D.
A.
Hobbs, you remember Chief johnson, and this is her husband, Fbi special agent fritz howard.
Uh, sorry to Inteupt.
I just wanted to make sure you're all set for Monday.
On the oxy lab case.
Oxy lab.
Yes, of course.
All set.
Uh What time on Monday? The trial starts at 9:00 a.
M.
Trial.
Right.
So I'll see you in court.
Yes, you will -- bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
You have no idea what she was talking about, do you? No.
Oxy lab used to handle some toxicology tests For the city.
Unfortunately, the lab was discredited nine months ago.
Okay.
I read about that.
And 42 verdicts were overturned, most of them d.
U.
I.
S, But one of them was a murder, Which, for the last several weeks, Has belonged to major crimes.
You're kidding me! What murder? Okay, seven years ago, A woman named doris osgood impersonated a nurse For some rich banker with terminal cancer.
Now, she robbed the guy blind.
Then she killed him with an overdose of morphine.
Tox results from the old guy's blood were thrown out As evidence when oxy lab was discredited.
A-and this goes to trial on Monday? Commander, when were you planning On telling me about this? Chief, I handed the murder over to major crimes a month ago.
To whom? Chief, I didn't want to burden you.
Uh, it's an old case I worked with my ex-partner, George andrews.
Great cop -- retired way too young.
Anyway, I'm -- I'm picking him up at the train station.
And you're all ready for the trial on Monday, lieutenant? See, george got this spontaneous confession From this fake nurse.
I mean, she told him everything, Including how she overdosed the guy She was caring for on morphine.
All we have to do is put george on the stand.
And doris osgood will be back in prison For the rest of her life.
And we can go to big bear.
Yes, please, go! I mean, chief, really, When have I ever steered you wrong, hmm? I think I should wait, A-and meet this detective andrews, Just -- just to go over his testimony.
Honey, you and I will go to lunch, And then we'll come back, And then we'll drive up to the cabin, okay? Provenza: The guy's death certificate said "natural causes.
" And it was only because osgood tried to fence That stupid painting -- The chagall.
I know.
I remember.
If it hadn't been for that boneheaded move, George and I might never have found -- Found her.
I know.
And that confession -- One of the greatest moments in l.
A.
P.
D.
History.
George seduced that osgood woman into -- Into giving up everything! Oh, yeah.
yeah.
George andrews was the best partner a cop could ask for, Hands down.
Really? Thanks.
Hey! Hey, why don't you come out with us tonight, huh? We'll have some drinks, maybe, uh, find some ladies.
That's all right, casanova.
calm down.
All right.
If you don't want to go, that's fine.
Myself, I've -- I've been feeling a little lonely lately.
But there is no shortage of women when george is around.
Guess who, old man.
George, my man! It is -- It's "georgette" now! Do you believe the balls on this guy, flynn? Um, I don't think I -- uh Oh, it's a joke! Go ahead.
Tell him it's a joke, george.
It's not a joke.
George This, uh It's the real me Finally.
Hobbs: We have a huge problem here.
Yeah, about a size 44d.
Lieutenant provenza, how did this happen? Well, I assume a scalpel was involved.
Uh, chief, in -- in here.
Oh! Did everything go okay with detective andrews At the train station? Well, actually, uh, as iturns out, chief, He isn't exactly Available.
Well, at least not all of him.
Shut up, flynn.
I-I-I know that I told you I would handle everything, and That's detective andrews? It is.
Oh, for heaven's sakes.
Heaven had nothing to do with this.
Wait a minute.
Is it just the dress, or did he, you know, go all the way? Oh, yeah, he's a real lady.
And I can't put detective andrews on the stand like that.
Why not? We need her testimony, not her testicles.
All osgood's lawyers need to say Is that if andrews was confused about his gender, Maybe he was also confused about what osgood told him.
Hobbs is right.
It goes to credibility.
ButDetective andrews is the only person Who can testify To osgood's spontaneous and unrecorded confession.
Without that -- Look, if we were trying this case in santa monica, I'd say, "roll the dice," but we're not.
We're in the north valley on this one.
The jury there will never see Past detective andrews' makeup.
And osgood's son has hired some of the best defense attorneys around.
So you're just gonna let a murderer go free? Well, I believe the thought was That maybe we should try to get george To take the stand as a man.
Right.
And since this is your case You want me To talk detective andrews out of his dress? I've never even met him -- her.
That's why lieutenant provenza will accompany you.
Buzz, you got any duct tape in here? Yeah, the second drawer of that cabinet.
The sooner you convince andrews, The sooner we head to the hills.
All right, everyone, get busy! This is not a zoo -- I mean it.
Unh, unh! Sanchez, not a word.
Detective andrews I'm deputy chief brenda leigh johnson.
It is such a pleasure to meet you.
Oh, well, the pleasure is mine.
I love your parka.
Oh.
Oh, thank you.
It's forSkiing.
Hmm.
Anyway, um, welcome back.
Oh.
That's nice of you to say.
And I guess I should apologize For showing up, uh Unannounced.
But when this case was overturned, I-I felt it was my duty To, uh, put aside my -- my personal worries.
No apology necessary.
Um, why don't you have a seat? Oh, thank you.
Um Because, uh, a-as you know, We no longer possess the clinical sample Of the morphine used in the murder.
And since you did such excellent work In obtaining that spontaneous confession, We also never got any other evidence.
So, um There are someConcerns on the part of the d.
A.
-- Oh, for god's sake! Here's the deal -- You can't take the stand looking like that, george.
So, strap 'em down.
Lose the dress.
Cut the hair.
Man up! Sorry.
I'm afraid I can't do that.
What -- you'd rather walk around here, Waving those fun bags in the air?! All right, lieutenant, that's enough! That's not what I'm saying! Let me explain, please.
Thank you.
Detective andrews, D.
D.
A.
Hobbs feels that she cannot put you on the stand As a woman.
Well, I'm very sorry to hear you say that, Because I absolutely refuse to participate in this trial Dressed up like a man! Not only would I be committing perjury, I'd be lying to myself, And I've gone to a great deal of trouble Not to do that anymore.
Oh, lord have mercy! So, now what? We wait.
She's a woman now.
maybe she'll change her mind.
So Enjoy the protests.
Uh Excuse me.
You know, andrews, When those doctors cut your balls off, You should have had them pull the stick out of your ass At the same time! Oh! you -- You Of all people -- you.
I I What's happening? What -- What's he doing? What do you think she's doing? She's crying.
You've hurt her feelings.
Feelings?! Yes, my feelings! You -- you insensitive bastard.
I came here despite enormous fears, Because I wanted to do the right thing, And you've done nothing but insult me Since I stepped off that train.
Well, I'm not going to let you bully me Into raising my hand And swearing that I'm a man.
I won't do it! I can't.
Aw.
I can't.
Oh, of course you can't.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I Great.
So now we have no case.
Yep, and no travel insurance.
So, is hobbs gonna dismiss the case? Um, not quite yet.
Um, provided lieutenant provenza treats her better, Detective andrews has agreed to stay.
Maybe she can help us find something Other than the spontaneous confession To connect doris osgood to the murder.
So you're not going, then.
I can't.
I'm sorry.
Well, why don't we reschedule? No, no, no.
It's okay.
I-I know how much you were looking forward To us learning how to ski.
Oh, I'm still going.
huh? We already bought the package -- The hotel room, The lessons, the -- The massages.
It's all been paid for.
Oh, but you -- you can't go without me.
Oh, I'll just drop joel at home, And I'll e-mail you some pictures -- yeah.
Oh! Have a nice murder.
hey.
We bought massages? In the seven weeks doris osgood spent impersonating a nurse In order to care for charles billings, She forged her signature on 23 checks And took out seven credit cards in his name.
In all, she managed to steal almost $55,000.
Uh, billings had five grown kids, Uh, but none of them noticed the theft Because they were ripping him off, too.
But the old man finally got suspicious.
That's why she killed him.
A few days later, she tried selling his chagall, But the dealer she took it to called the police.
Uh, we got an autopsy.
Uh, oxy lab found the excessive dose of morphine In billings' system.
Questions, anyone? Uh, yes.
Uh, detective andrews, sir -- Ma'am.
What happened to your penis? detective sanchez, That is not an appropriate question! No, no, no, no.
It's fine, chief johnson.
In fact, I'd like to answer, if it's okay with you.
Interestingly enough, detective, I still have a lot of the same equipment I had prior to the surgery.
It's just been inverted And, uh, refashioned To look pretty much like any other woman's sex organs.
In fact, the advances they've made in vaginoplasty Are truly amazing.
Okay, that's very informative.
Uh, one second, chief.
Thank you so much.
So, do you like men or women now? As a matter of fact, I still like women.
What? What? You had a sex change to become a lesbian? The change I underwent Had nothing to do with my sexual preference.
It was more about how I identified With the world personally, And you weren't bothered that I was a lesbian When I was a guy.
Oh, I'm sorry.
All I heard was, "blah, blah, blah, lesbian.
" Do you currently have a girlfriend? Uh, detective sanchez Enough.
Detective andrews, Um, doris osgood never really was a registered nurse -- Is that correct? Yes, it turns out osgood stole the identity Of an r.
N.
Named jane wesh, And she used her credentials to land a position At the doctor's office where charles billings was a patient.
And when billings needed home care, Osgood volunteered.
Wow.
She really thought this thing out.
Mm, and she was good at it, too -- Playing nurse, I mean -- In fact, so good, I thought she may have pulled the scam before.
But her confession got her life without parole, So we -- we never pursued it.
I mean, if we had any priors, we wouldn't need osgood's confession.
Well, we have osgood's confession.
Just because empty pants here won't bite the bullet And put on the clothes that he was born to wear Doesn't mean that we can't have somebody read his testimony In court.
I believe you can only do that if he isn't available.
He-e-e-e isn't available! This is not what we agreed to.
Lieutenant, that is enough.
Detective andrews is here on behalf of the l.
A.
P.
D.
, And he's entitled to a supportive workplace.
Plus, I was really looking forward To staying at your house while I was here.
All right.
All right.
My house -- fine.
Just -- Just don'tCry again, Please, god.
How old is this picture of doris osgood? Just a few weeks.
Lompoc took it before she was sent back to county.
Is there anything older in her file? Uh, just an old dmv photo And an old booking photo from 2002.
If billings wasn't her first victim, Maybe there are others out there she murdered the same way.
Uh, let's get ahold of ramos And have him publish these pictures in the paper.
Maybe someone remembers doris osgood As a very bad nurse.
Chief, might I suggest That you publish some additional photos of osgood? You never know exactly how much someone's appearance Might have changed over time.
D.
D.
A.
Hobbs mentioned that doris osgood's son Was very involved in her defense.
Why don't we invite him to stop by? Maybe he can help us find some more pictures of his mom.
Uh, chief, we're the enemy.
why would osgood's son want to help us? Mr.
Osgood, we believe that some mistakes may have been made In the investigation of your mother's case, Even beyond this whole oxy lab mess.
A mistake like sending an innocent woman to prison For the rest of her life? Well, if that's what happened, sir, The last thing the justice system would want Is to put your mother back in jail.
Why should I believe that? Well, I-I've been studying your mother's case and Have a seat, ma'am.
Oh, thank you.
Opened credit cards in mr.
Billings' name, Tried to fence a chagall from his art collection, Stole the identity of an r.
N.
, and impersonated a nurse, It doesn't necessarily follow That she murdered the poor old man.
He could have just as easily up and died of natural causes.
Okay, now, see, that's what I've been saying To anyone who would listen for the last seven years.
My mother did nothing but try her very best To take care of mr.
Billings.
Yeah, until she killed him.
Believe me -- if she had her choice, Mom would have been off to nursing school so fast So, she always wanted to work in the healthcare industry? Oh, yeah, but she gave up on that to put me through college.
My mom wanted to save lives, not end them.
That's why I can't stop till I prove she's innocent, Why I've hired new lawyers, filed these appeals.
It's taken nearly every penny I have.
Well, it's been money well spent, sir, Because she's almost free.
If it weren't for that confession She didn't confess.
That cop -- He propositioned my mom, to put it nicely.
and when she turned him down, He got so angry, he lied And said she admitted to murdering billings.
So Was osgood your type? Mnh, not so much.
I've always been more into blond, bossy gals.
Well, I apologize for that, sir.
And the officer who arrested your mom Doesn't work here anymore.
So, let's see if we can set the record straight.
What can I do to help you here? Well, if we could track back Through your mother's employment history And find that there's no other evidence of theft or fraud, We probably could convince the district attorney To drop all charges.
Seriously? This could happen? If we could talk to some of the people That she worked for prior to billings, If you remember their names Oh, I know them all.
Do you want her last job to her first? That would be wonderful.
She worked at city mutual bank for a while.
And not only did she not steal anything, Mom was employee of the month three times.
Good for her.
Gabriel: And before that? She was an assistant manager at mondro tech in the valley.
She did data entry for a beverly hills law firm -- Sustin & raber.
And she worked as an assistant administrator at tech "u" For two years.
And before that, She drove for goody's limo company in the valley.
And, uh, she sold used cars for murphy's preowned sedans.
That's the thing, you know? Mom was always searching, Going from job to job, taking care of me, Without ever having time to really find herself.
This isn't a story, just -- just a bunch of pictures.
What do you mean? It's a great story.
Or it will be, When your newspaper helps us Identify doris osgood's other victims.
If there are other victims.
Mr.
Ramos, in the interests of public safety, Your newspaper is obligated -- From the little I understand, commander, Osgood's danger to the public Is highly speculative at this point.
And if it turns out that she isn't guilty, We could be accused of libel, right? so, if you want the pictures published, Buy an ad.
Unh-unh, there's no money for that.
Okay, then you can be really radical And let ms.
Andrews testify as a woman.
Yeah, good, fine.
Okay.
It's an ad.
Great.
I highly recommend the double page at the center fold, Just to grab people's Full color, of course.
Of course.
Thanks, ricardo.
You know, listen, I might be able To, uh, get you a discount If you want to let me know who this ms.
-Bye-bye.
-Andrews really is.
- Morning, louie.
- Look at that.
I'm surprised pope sprang for it.
Well, chief johnson gets what she wants.
Well, with a caboose like that, of course she does.
Do you think the ad's gonna work? Who knows? Of course, wouldn't have to worry about it If you'd stop screwing around and do what's right.
Oh, come on.
We had an agreement.
You were going to be -- Did you think you could just sashay off the train And everything would be like old times? We're old friends, louie.
No! No, I was friends with a guy named george, Who doesn't exist anymore.
Maybe he never did exist.
Oh.
Maybe one of the greatest confessions In the history of the l.
A.
P.
D.
Never existed! Nobody else ever heard doris osgood say -- All right, that's really low! You know I was much too good a cop To file a false confession! And, yes, I look different.
I'm not a man anymore, Which means I don't pee standing up.
I wear a dress instead of a suit.
I walk differently.
I've changed how I do a lot of things, But not what's in my heart! I've always been your friend, louie.
You can't turn your back on all the years.
Look at you.
You're not even listening.
The second people start talking about their feelings, you -- No.
No, no.
Wait.
Wait.
We were thinking doris osgood Only changed her appearance.
Right.
Maybe it was more than that.
Maybe we caught her doing to billings What she had done to other people Because she not only changed what she looked like She changed her entire m.
O.
oh, yes.
We've had four callers responding to our ad so far, And each one remembers doris osgood providing care To a rich old family member as a nurse, And in each case, the patient supposedly died Of natural causes.
Well, somehow, she did something differently with billings.
That's why we caught her.
Each of them knew osgood by a different name, Names that we were able to confirm Were actual r.
N.
S working here in los angeles county.
So she stole their identities, too.
That's exactly the same m.
O.
Gabriel: No, it's not.
Osgood got the job with billings By working at his doctor's office, But each of the callers said that she was referred to them By an agency that no longer exists -- An rn home aid? See? See? That's what we're saying.
Well, a-as fascinating as that may be, lieutenant, How would knowing that she changed her m.
O.
Get us any closer to tying her to a murder? We -- we don't know that yet, But it's the key -- I'm sure.
Chief, I got a woman on the phone Who says she thinks osgood murdered her father in 2001.
Ms.
Casey, thank you so much for coming in to visit with us.
I'm deputy chief johnson.
Oh, it's nothing, dear.
Now that I get all my programs recorded, I don't have to miss anything.
Oh, that's good.
And, now, I'm told that you're here today In response to the photographs That we put in the paper this morning? Yes, that's right.
I knew that woman was a menace.
And by "that woman," you mean, uh, mrs.
Doris osgood, The woman you knew as nurse linda parker? Yes Right again.
I remember her.
She had all her paperwork -- Social security number, a nurse's license, And even a referral from the agency.
And that would be Rn home aid? You're 3 for 3.
And what led you to use their services? Oh, I think -- I think there was an issue With one of the other nurses we had hired, And daddy's insurance company recommended that we replace her.
And they gave you the name of the agency? That I can't recall.
You said a moment ago that doris osgood was a "menace.
" Can you tell me what you mean by that? A monet disappeared from my daddy's art collection The day after he fell down the stairs and died.
And I suspected that woman had taken it.
So what did you do? I contacted the insurance company, And one of their security people got the painting back, And he put the blame on one of our gardeners, Who fled to mexico to avoid arrest.
Where are you going? Well, I'm gonna go see if I can talk to the guy Who brought that painting back.
I can't imagine how he got there.
Um The man didn't even have a car! You want to come with me? Let's go.
He must have fled on foot! Some of them do that, you know.
But I never believed That gardener knew the value of the monet, Even though they were water lilies.
Uh, you said your father fell down the stairs.
Was there an investigation made into his death? There should have been, don't you think? My daddy was confined to a wheelchair for months.
He was so terrified of the steps.
Why he rode himself to the edge of the stairway I'll never know.
Uh, detective gabriel, I want exhumation orders on all of the patients That we can trace back to doris osgood.
Are we clearing this with chief pope? I will, just as soon as I'm done.
Mm, nice shoes.
Oh! Thank you.
um Oh You're familiar with mr.
Casey.
He had several broken bones, indicative of a bad fall.
Can't say whether he was pushed down the stairs Or slipped on his own.
Next, patients 2 and 3 -- Death certificates say they died of natural causes, But, frankly, when you dig up bodies this old, You'd be better off taking them to an archaeologist.
Could you do a tox screen on their bones, just in case? Could you give me a hand? Thank you.
Moving on.
Patient 4 -- Death certificate says "tural causes," But -- detective.
Ohh! Look there.
Hmm? Her neck is broken -- Not proof of homicide, But it's hard to believe she did it on her own.
Hmm.
Wasn't the -- ugh -- wasn't the body autopsied? No, none of them were Because they were all old and sick, And each of the physicians signed off on cause of death.
And the last body, doctor? Yes.
This poor lady was in a coma for two weeks Prior to her death.
Certificate says "natural causes," But I have my doubts Because Ew, what is that? It's the cap to a nasal-spray bottle, detective.
I'm guessing someone shoved this down this woman's throat, And she choked to death on it.
I don't see anything natural about that.
- Here you go, chief.
- Oh, thank you.
- You exhumed five bodies?! - I'm sorry.
It's crunch time for doris osgood, And for your information, Three of those bodies appear to have died Under suspicious circumstances.
And you can connect osgood to those cases? Well, we're trying to.
Lieutenant provenza.
Well, let's start way back at the beginning.
Insurance companies like to do background checks On anybody who has access to the valuables Of their richest clients.
Housekeepers, gardeners Or nurses.
Exactly.
Now, in each of the cases of potential murder here, Uh, all of the families had different insurance companies.
But each company contracted background checks With the same security analyst.
And that security analyst's name is sam osgood.
Doris osgood's son.
We found him because he's the same guy Who returned ms.
Casey's stolen monet.
You think sam osgood is his mother's accomplice.
He's the reason that the people for whom she worked Never reported anything missing.
Sam osgood covered it up.
Except with billings, Where it looks like his mom was flying solo.
And that's the change in doris' m.
O.
-- She stopped working with her son! None of which proves murder.
Chief, I got doris osgood in interview 1.
Oh, thank you so much, detective.
Whoa.
What is she doing here? We're hoping that, with a little encouragement, Mrs.
Osgood might confess again.
What -- what kind of encour-- Wow.
Morning, fellas.
Chief johnson.
There's the george that I remember.
And there's the louie I miss.
Uh, detective gabriel, if you wouldn't mind, Let's get ready to bring mr.
Osgood Into the electronics room, please.
What exactly makes this different From taking the stand, detective? I'm not perjuring myself in the interview room, chief.
It's just a little undercover work.
Uh-huh, and what makes you think that George can get your confession? Let's call it women's intuition.
Yeah.
Doris, nice to see you again.
Don't even think about it.
You remember lieutenant provenza.
Listen What happened seven years ago, How I led you on -- I-I-I really do apologize.
I know you're much too smart To fall for that kind of thing again.
Oh, those eyes -- Just as beautiful as I remember.
And you're still full of crap.
My son said you didn't work here anymore.
And yet here I am.
How have you been? Lonely Like you care.
These past seven years -- you have no idea.
I do.
You've been in prison for a long time, And people look at you like, uh, you're someone you're not.
You have no opportunity just to be yourself.
Doris, I can relate.
Can we move this along, please? Oh -- Look, you can't question me about the billings case Without my lawyers present.
We want to talk to you about an entirely different matter.
Like what? Oh, come on, doris.
We know that billings wasn't your first target.
Lieutenant.
I mean -- I mean -- lieutenant, please.
You've been running this nurse scam for years.
Mr.
Osgood, thank you so much for coming in.
We thought you might like to see this.
We've got you nailed on at least five other incidents.
This is not constructive.
My mother? We know about the agency.
Where's her lawyer? We know about the art thefts.
We talked about this.
Well, we do! Have a seat, mr.
Osgood.
We're about to drop the billings case.
We told your mother that before we read her her rights.
Please! We know about the identity theft! I don't know what you're trying to pull here.
Just a second.
Doris, I'm sorry.
Why don't you give us a minute? He can be a real jerk.
I apologize.
That's him -- That's the cop she confessed to last time.
You said he didn't work here anymore.
He doesn't.
Doris, you should know That I actually think that the other five thefts We've discovered are good news for you and your lawyers.
"good news.
" how? This guy's unbelievable.
She's not gonna fall for the same lies again.
When you told me That you killed charles billings seven years ago, You sold your story like a pro, But just between you and me, I think you were only trying to protect your son.
What? Now, I know you love sam.
You think he's been in your corner for this retrial, But when he offered up the information About all those people that you robbed While impersonating a nurse Why, I never Sam wouldn't make up things like that.
That's a lie.
He's lying to her! What are you talking about? Your son is trying to bury you, doris Easy.
Make us put you away for good So he can keep all the money.
He got you those jobs.
He -- he picked the artwork for you to steal.
And then sam fenced it -- isn't that right? You're a loving, trusting mother Exploited by a psychotic child Who's selling you out for his own gain.
No.
No.
That can't be true.
Doris How would I know about all this If sam hadn't told me? And I'm truly sorry That I helped put you in prison, So, please, help me set you free.
After all I gave up for him.
When he came up with this plan, I -- Well, I knew it was wrong.
What is she saying? When he was working for the insurance company.
Oh, my god.
Yeah.
They'd hired him to do background checks.
I was so proud of him at first.
Background checks? On whom, exactly? Employees of their wealthy clients.
As a security analyst, he -- He'd have access to people's homes, and And when he found a rich person who, uh, had home care -- And, I mean, who else could afford it? -- He'd pretend that someone on the nursing staff Was a security risk and get them fired, And then Well, he would refer the family to this agency That he'd set up.
Which was a sham, correct? I was the only one there.
And with his position, he was Able to steal me new identities.
Ohh, I didn't want to do it, I swear, but when it started, He told me at first That I was just Finally gonna get to be a nurse.
My own mother.
I can't believe it.
Good.
That's so good.
Um, just, um Write down what we talked about.
Okay.
And, uh We're gonna put an end to this.
Okay.
Yeah.
You know you have absolutely nothing to hold me on.
Because your mother thought up the whole thing, didn't she? She convinced you to get her jobs in rich people's homes, And once she was in, she stole what she wanted And demanded that you fence it for her.
You! Hey! Hey, whoa, whoa! Ugh! You may want to rethink this, sonny.
Oh you know what? It doesn't make any difference what any of u believe, Because we're more than 7 years out on all these crimes, And as a professional security analyst, I'm happy to inform you That the statute of limitations ran out On these so-called "thefts" a long time ago.
On the thefts, yes, but not on the murders.
Murders.
What murders? Hey, billings -- That's still just his word against hers.
Besides, I wasn't even working with her.
She's not talking about billings.
She's talking about all the other people That died under your mother's care.
They were old.
It's called natural causes.
I have evidence to the contrary, mr.
Osgood.
Pope: And from what your mother just told us, It shouldn't be too hard to convince a jury That you were responsible for several other murders, also.
U-unless -- unless Your mother was the one who killed those people.
Come on.
What do you want from me? I can't.
She's my mom.
Who just rolled on you.
What are you protecting her for? It's either you or her, sir.
All right, then.
Detective, would you take mr.
Osgood downstairs And book him -- no.
No, wait.
Okay.
Okay.
She killed her patients, all right? She killed her patients.
And when she got away with it the first time, it -- It just got easier for her.
Who? Who did she kill? The ones who got suspicious.
I don't remember their names.
One she strangled.
Breaking her neck in the process? She, uh, stuffed something down the second one's throat.
Well, that would be a nasal-spray cap.
And pushed the third one down the stairs.
That'd be ms.
Casey's father.
And after his daughter called me, all suspicious About the monet that your mother stole? Which I had to pull back from my fence And return to the family, I realized that she'd gone too far.
I wanted out.
I I told her to stop.
But she couldn't, so she went on without me.
And just like I thought, She got caught after murdering that poor mr.
Billings.
Oh, my god.
Very good, mr.
Osgood.
I know how difficult that must have been.
Detective, would you please take mr.
Osgood - Downstairs and book him for - What? Book me? You can't hold me on those thefts.
True, but I'm sure they'll come up at your murder trial.
That was my mother! And you were her partner and aware of her actions.
But I didn't kill them myself! Well, mr.
Osgood, as one "professional" to another, I'm happy to inform you That the law doesn't see it that way.
Detective.
Now, gentlemen, would you please do the honors And arrest our florence nightingale? Ladies first.
Oh, I wish you'd pick up.
I'm grabbing my things And driving up to big bear for the last night.
Fritzi? I'm in the bathroom! What are you doing?! Well On the chair lift going up the bunny slope this afternoon, I just realized I missed you.
Oh! Yeah, the truth is, I don't like traveling anymore without my wife.
That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard.
Also, on the first run, This 12-year-old kid cut me off ani hurt my knee.
