I can't do that.
181
00:10:30,329 --> 00:10:31,730
Why not?
182
00:10:31,864 --> 00:10:33,865
Because I didn't
take notes that day.
183
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:35,934
It might not be him?
184
00:10:43,743 --> 00:10:46,277
This article was about
saving young people's lives.
185
00:10:46,812 --> 00:10:48,847
I wanted to write about
all the kids I interviewed.
186
00:10:48,849 --> 00:10:50,015
I came back with
a plan for that.
187
00:10:50,017 --> 00:10:52,350
A more
aggressive story about
188
00:10:52,352 --> 00:10:54,219
the corruption within
these aid agencies.
189
00:10:54,221 --> 00:10:56,287
But we felt
it was too broad.
190
00:10:56,289 --> 00:10:57,856
Don't imply
this has anything to do
191
00:10:57,858 --> 00:10:59,224
with anyone
other than you, Mike.
192
00:10:59,226 --> 00:11:00,358
You said
write about one boy.
193
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:02,694
Suggest the issues
through one boy's story.
194
00:11:02,696 --> 00:11:04,029
A personal portrait.
195
00:11:04,031 --> 00:11:06,097
And you were right.
You were absolutely right.
196
00:11:06,232 --> 00:11:07,966
I assumed you had
the research.
197
00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:09,768
I did, just not
all in one place.
198
00:11:09,902 --> 00:11:09,901
Then that's not research.
199
00:11:09,903 --> 00:11:13,838
Mike, you must understand
how damaging this could be
200
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,740
for the charities
who work with these children.
201
00:11:15,908 --> 00:11:17,042
Not to mention
the paper.
202
00:11:17,376 --> 00:11:17,375
You said write it up.
203
00:11:17,377 --> 00:11:20,979
I... I thought it could work
on a higher level.
204
00:11:20,981 --> 00:11:23,114
I said write it up,
not make it up.
205
00:11:23,249 --> 00:11:24,983
The higher level
is the truth.
206
00:11:24,985 --> 00:11:26,117
You didn't have
the research,
207
00:11:26,119 --> 00:11:28,119
that's the only fact
that matters here.
208
00:11:29,321 --> 00:11:31,790
Do you think this stuff
writes itself?
209
00:11:31,924 --> 00:11:36,061
You hire people like me
to get on the ground
and hunt.
210
00:11:36,262 --> 00:11:38,930
That's how this paper
has competitive advantage.
211
00:11:39,131 --> 00:11:40,732
I did the best
with what I had.
212
00:11:40,866 --> 00:11:42,467
You lied.
213
00:11:43,069 --> 00:11:45,070
I just can't understand why.
214
00:11:45,204 --> 00:11:47,706
It's not like
you had anything
to prove to any of us,
215
00:11:47,708 --> 00:11:49,074
you're an exceptional
journalist.
216
00:11:49,408 --> 00:11:49,407
It just bewilders me.
217
00:11:49,409 --> 00:11:53,344
We'll have to be open
with our readers
about this, Mike,
218
00:11:53,346 --> 00:11:54,879
which is no small
embarrassment.
219
00:11:54,881 --> 00:11:54,879
Explain what you've done.
220
00:11:54,881 --> 00:11:58,750
Do you know what that means
for those poor kids?
221
00:11:58,884 --> 00:12:02,020
For the support your article
gave them, for their futures?
222
00:12:02,354 --> 00:12:03,455
For your future?
223
00:12:03,457 --> 00:12:04,889
What the fuck
were you thinking?
224
00:12:05,024 --> 00:12:06,157
Okay, that's enough, Karen.
225
00:12:10,896 --> 00:12:12,430
All right. (STAMMERS)
226
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:17,902
I can,
um, write a retraction,
if that's what you want.
227
00:12:17,904 --> 00:12:19,904
That's what I can do.
I can go...
I'll go right now.
228
00:12:20,039 --> 00:12:23,308
(STAMMERS) I'll go
and I'll just write you
a retraction,
229
00:12:23,310 --> 00:12:24,509
if that's what
you want, okay?
230
00:12:29,115 --> 00:12:30,348
(EXHALES)
231
00:12:34,453 --> 00:12:38,056
Just, can you not print
the apology?
232
00:12:41,794 --> 00:12:44,095
If you print the apology,
no one will touch me.
233
00:12:44,097 --> 00:12:45,463
Can you just...
Can you do that?
234
00:12:45,798 --> 00:12:47,198
Can you just not print
the apology?
235
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,067
Just that, please?
236
00:12:52,338 --> 00:12:54,939
You have a great future
ahead of you, Mike.
237
00:12:55,941 --> 00:12:57,475
But not here.
238
00:13:51,497 --> 00:13:52,430

PILOT: Ladies and gentlemen,
this is your captain speaking.
240
00:13:57,136 --> 00:13:58,236
We're about to
begin our descent
241
00:13:58,238 --> 00:13:59,938
into Bozeman,
Montana.
242
00:14:00,072 --> 00:14:02,173
For those
of you returning,
243
00:14:02,175 --> 00:14:04,075
we would like to
welcome you home.
244
00:14:04,077 --> 00:14:07,278
For those passengers
visiting Montana
for the first time...
245
00:14:26,298 --> 00:14:27,966
I can be working again
by summer.
246
00:14:29,301 --> 00:14:31,035
If I can find
something good.
247
00:14:34,573 --> 00:14:38,176
Uh, I can ask the university
for a raise,
248
00:14:39,178 --> 00:14:40,912
or take on some
high school teaching.
249
00:14:41,046 --> 00:14:42,580
No, I'll make some calls.
250
00:14:46,986 --> 00:14:49,587
It'll be nice to have you
back for a while.
251
00:14:58,597 --> 00:14:59,664
(CAR ENGINE STARTING)
252
00:15:26,625 --> 00:15:28,226
Tonya, it's Mike.
253
00:15:28,961 --> 00:15:30,695
Finkel. Yeah.
254
00:15:31,063 --> 00:15:32,196
(LAUGHING) I know,
it's been a long time.
255
00:15:33,465 --> 00:15:35,566
Anyway, listen,
I have this great idea.
256
00:15:35,568 --> 00:15:37,168
It's a snowboarding piece.
Uh...
257
00:15:37,170 --> 00:15:37,168
I'm going to shoot with
my war photographer, Chris,
258
00:15:37,170 --> 00:15:37,168
okay, so it's going
to look like...
259
00:15:37,170 --> 00:15:43,308
But this is...
This is winter sports.
260
00:15:44,176 --> 00:15:45,310
This doesn't have anything
to do with what happened.
261
00:15:45,312 --> 00:15:46,711
Hi, Ed, it's Mike Finkel.
262
00:15:48,714 --> 00:15:50,982
Since the A.P. awards dinner,
yes. (LAUGHS)
263
00:15:51,583 --> 00:15:53,117
So, listen, Ed,
I have this thing
264
00:15:53,119 --> 00:15:53,117
I've been working up
265
00:15:53,119 --> 00:15:56,187
on black ops
in the Marine Corps
from my war days.
266
00:15:57,256 --> 00:15:59,123
And it feels like
a GQ piece.
267
00:16:00,392 --> 00:16:03,728
Right, but none of
my other work
has any suspicion.
268
00:16:04,129 --> 00:16:05,396
How long have
we known each other?
269
00:16:05,398 --> 00:16:06,731
Don't make me beg here.
(LAUGHS)
270
00:16:07,132 --> 00:16:08,733
Right, but it's 11:30.
271
00:16:09,268 --> 00:16:11,102
I know he can't
be at lunch because
272
00:16:11,104 --> 00:16:13,204
Playboy doesn't even
open until 11:00.
273
00:16:13,206 --> 00:16:14,639
I understand.
274
00:16:14,641 --> 00:16:15,740
Okay.
275

Hello?
285
00:16:52,045 --> 00:16:54,178
Hi, my name is Pat Frato.
286
00:16:54,180 --> 00:16:55,513
I'm a reporter with
The Oregonian.
287
00:16:55,515 --> 00:16:58,449
Oh, I'm sure you're buried
in all this by now,
288
00:16:58,451 --> 00:17:01,786
but I wanted to get
your side on
the Christian Longo story.
289
00:17:02,187 --> 00:17:04,322
(SIGHS) Who?
Christian Longo?
290
00:17:04,324 --> 00:17:05,456
The child killer?
291
00:17:05,458 --> 00:17:08,326
He murdered
his entire family
out here in Newport.
292
00:17:08,328 --> 00:17:10,128
You must know about him.
293
00:17:10,130 --> 00:17:12,130
They finally took him down
in Cancun last week.
294
00:17:12,132 --> 00:17:13,264
You hadn't heard?
295
00:17:13,399 --> 00:17:15,733
No. Why are you
telling me this?
296
00:17:16,402 --> 00:17:18,403
Because when
they apprehended him,
297
00:17:18,405 --> 00:17:20,271
he said he was Mike Finkel,
298
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:22,473
of The New York Times.
299
00:17:24,410 --> 00:17:25,676
Hello?
300
00:17:27,279 --> 00:17:29,814
Hello? Mr. Finkel?
301
00:17:31,216 --> 00:17:33,351
Hello?
Hold on one second.
302
00:17:57,676 --> 00:17:59,110
PAT: When they picked him up
in Mexico,
303
00:17:59,112 --> 00:18:00,211
he denied
all knowledge of it,
304
00:18:00,379 --> 00:18:02,146
but the cops clearly felt
305
00:18:02,148 --> 00:18:03,347
they had enough
to bring him in.
306
00:18:03,515 --> 00:18:05,383
He was just a regular guy,
307
00:18:05,385 --> 00:18:08,419
an intelligent, sane man
from a good family.
308
00:18:08,421 --> 00:18:10,354
Comes home one night
and kills his wife and kids.
309
00:18:10,356 --> 00:18:12,123
It makes no sense.
310
00:18:12,125 --> 00:18:14,125
At any rate,
this turned out to be
311
00:18:14,127 --> 00:18:15,259
the end of the line for them.
312
00:18:15,494 --> 00:18:16,861
He... He drowned them.
313
00:18:18,130 --> 00:18:19,797
Although there is evidence
to suggest
314
00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:22,533
that his wife and baby
were strangled first.
315
00:18:23,268 --> 00:18:24,435
Where are
they holding him now?
316
00:18:25,137 --> 00:18:26,237
Lincoln County Jail.
317
00:18:26,239 --> 00:18:29,407
He'll stay there until
it comes to trial, I suspect.
318
00:18:31,543 --> 00:18:33,444
I'm going to have to start
319
00:18:33,446 --> 00:18:35,413
getting back. I'm afraid
it's quite a drive.
320
00:18:35,415 --> 00:18:37,248
But you can keep
all of this.
321
00:18:37,416 --> 00:18:39,450
Thank you so much, Pat.
I really appreciate...
322
00:18:39,452 --> 00:18:42,420
No, I wanted to meet you
as much as you me.

00:18:42,422 --> 00:18:43,287
I love your writing.

Hey, listen.
325
00:18:49,229 --> 00:18:51,596
Did he say anything at all
about why he claimed
to be me?
326
00:18:52,164 --> 00:18:54,599
I'd hoped you might
be able to tell me that.
327
00:18:54,601 --> 00:18:56,734

I guess.

Dear Mr. Longo:
This is Michael Finkel.
332
00:19:19,458 --> 00:19:20,791
I am told you've been
using my name.
333
00:19:20,793 --> 00:19:22,593
I can't say
I understand why,
334
00:19:22,595 --> 00:19:24,362
as I don't recall us
ever meeting.
335
00:19:24,496 --> 00:19:25,463
But, actually,
I don't mind.
336
00:19:25,465 --> 00:19:28,466
In fact, in a way,
it makes me
feel kind of honored.
337
00:19:28,468 --> 00:19:28,466
I know you are facing
an upcoming trial
338
00:19:28,468 --> 00:19:33,437
and have been instructed
to avoid people like me,
339
00:19:33,439 --> 00:19:35,640
but I was wondering whether
you would agree to meet.
340
00:19:36,341 --> 00:19:38,643
You see, I've been through
a kind of trial myself.
341
00:19:39,478 --> 00:19:42,513
And at the very same time
that you were using my name,
342
00:19:42,515 --> 00:19:43,881
they stripped me of it.
343
00:19:45,617 --> 00:19:48,286
Since then, I've been doing
a lot of soul searching.
344
00:19:48,288 --> 00:19:50,421
I've been trying to find out
who I really am.
345
00:19:50,622 --> 00:19:51,923
I thought maybe
you could tell me
346
00:19:51,925 --> 00:19:53,491
what it's like to be me.

Brown eyes.
376
00:21:37,596 --> 00:21:39,463
That's not very remarkable.
377
00:21:40,599 --> 00:21:42,600
I'm sure 70% of the world
has brown eyes.

382

how ordinary a person
you are.

Not just your looks,
but your whole life.
384
00:21:58,318 --> 00:21:59,850
Really?
From my calculations,
385
00:21:59,852 --> 00:22:02,353
I'd say I'm pretty ordinary.
386
00:22:03,488 --> 00:22:06,624

from reading the papers.

so I may better understand
how I reached this path

I now find myself on.
472
00:26:53,045 --> 00:26:54,845
My father was a strict man.

I once stole a roll
of quarters from...

00:26:57,048 --> 00:26:57,047
We married pretty young
475
00:26:57,049 --> 00:27:00,184
and definitely struggled
for work at first.
476
00:27:00,719 --> 00:27:02,119
And eventually, because
they liked what I was doing,
477
00:27:02,121 --> 00:27:03,854
they put me on
the executive fast track.
478
00:27:03,989 --> 00:27:06,056
I also made a few stupid
decisions about what
479
00:27:06,058 --> 00:27:07,391
we spent our money on.
We traveled a lot.
480
00:27:07,393 --> 00:27:10,327
The children came
like a flock of starlings.
481
00:27:10,862 --> 00:27:13,397
No one tells you how hard
482
00:27:13,399 --> 00:27:15,065
it's gonna be
when you have kids.
483
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,001
Providing for them
was all I sought to do.

You just get through it.

These were the boom years
in America.

No matter where we traveled,
487
00:27:22,308 --> 00:27:22,306
I could never find enough to
488
00:27:22,308 --> 00:27:26,010
give them all
what they truly deserved.
489
00:27:26,012 --> 00:27:28,078
We had to forfeit
all our property.
490
00:27:28,213 --> 00:27:31,081
We went from Ohio
all the way to Oregon.
491
00:27:31,416 --> 00:27:33,017
Motels, takeout.
492
00:27:33,351 --> 00:27:35,019
Being brought up
a Jehovah's Witness
493
00:27:35,021 --> 00:27:36,654
was a blessing in my life,
494
00:27:36,656 --> 00:27:36,654
because it was there
I met my wife.
495
00:27:38,690 --> 00:27:40,024

sleep in the warehouse.

Shame is a terrible emotion
for a man.

To lose your dignity
in front of
your wife and children...
499
00:27:46,031 --> 00:27:47,898

I could find.

in Starbucks,
501

making coffee
for kids and guys

00:27:51,370 --> 00:27:52,770
who used to work for me.
503
00:27:52,772 --> 00:27:56,974
The car we had broke down,
so I just drove off the lot.
504

were going to college.

00:30:12,844 --> 00:30:15,245
According to the coroner,
MaryJane and Madison
533
00:30:15,580 --> 00:30:18,415
were beaten
and strangled to death,
534
00:30:18,417 --> 00:30:20,384
and then zipped inside
two suitcases
535
00:30:20,386 --> 00:30:23,253
with free weights
and dropped here,
536
00:30:23,255 --> 00:30:25,989
breaking a water pipe
on the way down,
537
00:30:25,991 --> 00:30:27,591
which is noticed
the next morning
538
00:30:27,926 --> 00:30:29,493
and becomes part of
the reason the canal
539
00:30:29,495 --> 00:30:30,928
was searched
the following week.
540
00:30:32,130 --> 00:30:33,263
It's pretty public here.
541
00:30:33,598 --> 00:30:35,866
I know. Crazy.
542
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,069
And then Zach and Sadie
are driven 15 miles south
543
00:30:39,071 --> 00:30:41,939
and dropped in the water
at Waldport, over there.
544
00:30:42,407 --> 00:30:44,041
MICHAEL: Why drive 15 miles
545
00:30:44,043 --> 00:30:46,577
to dump bodies on the edge
of the next town?
546
00:30:46,579 --> 00:30:47,878
Don't you find that odd?
547
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,280
Maybe something in him
wanted to get caught.
548
00:30:50,615 --> 00:30:51,949
MICHAEL: Then why'd flee?
549
00:30:51,951 --> 00:30:53,884
I guess
he changed his mind.
550
00:30:54,152 --> 00:30:56,220
So this is
where he dropped them.
551
00:30:56,354 --> 00:30:58,222
It's not high enough
to kill them outright,
552
00:30:58,224 --> 00:30:59,890
so they would have drowned.
553
00:31:00,024 --> 00:31:02,492
Unless the cold made them
go into cardiac arrest.
554
00:31:02,494 --> 00:31:04,862
It was well below zero
that night.
555
00:31:06,564 --> 00:31:08,298
Terrible thing
for him to do.
556
00:31:08,633 --> 00:31:10,033
If he did it.
557
00:31:10,235 --> 00:31:11,902
If?
558
00:31:12,237 --> 00:31:14,037
He's gonna plead innocent.
559
00:31:14,172 --> 00:31:15,906
(STAMMERS)
How do you know?
560
00:31:16,641 --> 00:31:18,041
He told me.
561
00:31:18,043 --> 00:31:19,910
You spoke to him?
562
00:31:20,044 --> 00:31:20,978
I met him.
563
00:31:20,980 --> 00:31:22,112
Why?
564
00:31:23,448 --> 00:31:25,649
I wanted to hear
his side of the story.
565
00:31:27,318 --> 00:31:28,986
I'm not sure Christian Longo
566
00:31:28,988 --> 00:31:30,988
deserves to have
his story heard.
567
00:31:33,992 --> 00:31:36,260
Everybody deserves to
have their story heard.
568
00:31:39,964 --> 00:31:41,265
(SQUEALING)
569
00:31:41,633 --> 00:31:42,633
SADIE: Mommy!
570
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,008
(ALL LAUGHING)
571
00:32:09,260 --> 00:32:11,061
GREG: I know you did it.
572
00:32:11,195 --> 00:32:12,529
You know you did it.
573
00:32:14,666 --> 00:32:16,934
We don't need
the how or why,
574
00:32:17,068 --> 00:32:17,067
just three little words.
575
00:32:17,069 --> 00:32:19,937
They can be spoken
real quick.
576
00:32:24,676 --> 00:32:26,410
I just can't right now.
577
00:32:27,211 --> 00:32:28,545
I'm sorry.
578
00:32:34,118 --> 00:32:35,319
(SIGHING)
579
00:32:42,961 --> 00:32:45,028
Chris, your letter was
an extraordinary thing.
580
00:32:47,031 --> 00:32:49,967
But this story
between the two of us,
581
00:32:50,568 --> 00:32:52,436
it's not an article
I can write.
582
00:32:54,205 --> 00:32:55,272
Oh.
583
00:32:56,307 --> 00:32:57,307
But it could be a book.
584
00:32:59,177 --> 00:33:00,510
(STAMMERS) Really?
585
00:33:00,512 --> 00:33:03,113
But if we're gonna write
something like that together,
586
00:33:03,115 --> 00:33:06,450
it's what you tell me,
not how, that's important.
587
00:33:07,318 --> 00:33:09,453
I know. It's just that,
588
00:33:10,321 --> 00:33:11,655
you speak so beautifully,
589
00:33:11,657 --> 00:33:14,124
you have such
a mastery of words,
590
00:33:14,258 --> 00:33:15,993
and I want that.
591
00:33:17,061 --> 00:33:20,063
It inspires me.
(STAMMERS) I need it.
592
00:33:23,001 --> 00:33:24,067
Okay.
593
00:33:25,336 --> 00:33:27,004
Let's make a trade.
594
00:33:27,605 --> 00:33:29,740
I give you a note,
you answer a question.
595
00:33:31,642 --> 00:33:32,676
(SIGHS)
596
00:33:34,145 --> 00:33:35,345
Okay.
597
00:33:35,747 --> 00:33:37,381
All right. (CLEARS THROAT)
598
00:33:38,750 --> 00:33:40,751
All right,
so on page 23 you write,
599
00:33:40,753 --> 00:33:42,586
"When I lost my position
at the realtor's,
600
00:33:42,588 --> 00:33:44,521
"MaryJane thought
I'd tried to get fired,
601
00:33:44,523 --> 00:33:47,290
"but I never said it was
a job I didn't want."
602
00:33:47,292 --> 00:33:50,160
So that's a double negative,
"never said I didn't want."
603
00:33:52,296 --> 00:33:53,497
Okay.
604
00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:56,233
It's weak,
a double negative.
605
00:33:56,367 --> 00:33:57,701
In good journalism,
we would write,
606
00:33:57,703 --> 00:33:59,236
"It was a job I wanted."
607
00:33:59,771 --> 00:34:01,204
I get it.
608
00:34:01,206 --> 00:34:03,173
Two negatives
don't make a positive.
609
00:34:03,175 --> 00:34:04,408
Okay.
610
00:34:06,177 --> 00:34:07,310
My turn.
611
00:34:09,781 --> 00:34:11,148
Okay.
612
00:34:11,150 --> 00:34:14,518
Why did you hook up with
that German girl in Mexico?
613
00:34:19,090 --> 00:34:20,323
(SIGHS)
614
00:34:22,460 --> 00:34:24,294
How'd you know about that?
615
00:34:24,296 --> 00:34:25,662
I spoke to her.
616
00:34:26,264 --> 00:34:27,798
(SCOFFS)
617
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,133
I don't know.
618
00:34:33,137 --> 00:34:36,540
I was...
I was grieving so much,
619
00:34:38,276 --> 00:34:42,813
it was as if the old
Chris Longo was dead.
620
00:34:44,382 --> 00:34:46,850
But you slept with her
on the first night.
621
00:34:49,153 --> 00:34:50,287
I don't know.
622
00:34:51,255 --> 00:34:52,856
That's what she says.
623
00:34:54,225 --> 00:34:57,160
Chris, did you do
what you're accused
of doing?
624
00:35:09,273 --> 00:35:10,440
(SIGHING)
625
00:35:14,445 --> 00:35:16,446
I loved my family.
626
00:35:19,584 --> 00:35:22,185
I only wanted
what was best for them.
627
00:35:30,194 --> 00:35:33,130
I'm really sorry, Mike.
I can't do this right now.
628
00:35:33,331 --> 00:35:34,464
Do what?
629
00:35:38,302 --> 00:35:40,437
I can't tell you
what really happened.
630
00:35:44,208 --> 00:35:45,442
Okay. (SIGHS)
631
00:35:48,346 --> 00:35:49,613
Okay. Then...
632
00:35:50,214 --> 00:35:51,548
Then why flee to Mexico
633
00:35:51,550 --> 00:35:53,216
right after they were found?
634
00:35:53,885 --> 00:35:55,485
You have to understand,
635
00:35:55,487 --> 00:35:57,487
that makes you look
incredibly guilty.
636
00:35:58,356 --> 00:35:59,756
Sometimes,
637
00:36:01,759 --> 00:36:04,494
you have to accept
looking one way
638
00:36:05,763 --> 00:36:08,632
in order to protect
something more important.
639
00:36:10,334 --> 00:36:12,869
Chris, if you're hiding
something from me,
640
00:36:12,871 --> 00:36:13,904
I will find out.
641
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:16,406
That's what I do.
642
00:36:16,408 --> 00:36:17,908
I look everywhere.

00:36:42,934 --> 00:36:44,968

MICHAEL: It's part true crime,
but it's part mea culpa.
648
00:37:46,330 --> 00:37:47,697
It's really about
writing itself.

650
00:37:47,699 --> 00:37:50,600
it's a full book
and not an article?

00:37:50,602 --> 00:37:50,600
You're really feel that
there's enough there?

00:37:50,602 --> 00:37:52,936
It's a book, it is a book.

00:37:52,938 --> 00:37:52,936
We're not gonna
find out later it's like
the African story?

that would be for us.

You have nothing
to worry about.

CHRISTIAN:
It all came at once,
658
00:38:07,619 --> 00:38:09,452
and I had
five mouths to feed,
659
00:38:09,454 --> 00:38:11,021
so I took any job
I could get.
660
00:38:11,355 --> 00:38:12,989
That was when
you started stealing?
661
00:38:15,693 --> 00:38:17,327
You know about that?
662
00:38:18,496 --> 00:38:20,363
It was just small amounts.
663
00:38:20,365 --> 00:38:23,033
Food and clothes,
and diapers. Books.
664
00:38:24,568 --> 00:38:25,635
That
665
00:38:26,604 --> 00:38:28,872
teddy bear
they found with Madison,
666
00:38:28,874 --> 00:38:31,474
with her body.
That was originally Zach's.
667
00:38:32,476 --> 00:38:35,478
And it was
handed down to Sadie
and then to Madison.
668
00:38:36,380 --> 00:38:38,915
All because
I couldn't buy new toys.
669
00:38:40,518 --> 00:38:42,519
I mean, what kind
of loser can't even...
670
00:38:43,654 --> 00:38:46,056
That says more about you
than anything.
671
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,458
It does?
672
00:38:48,460 --> 00:38:50,393
That's exactly what I would
want to use in the book.
673
00:38:50,561 --> 00:38:52,662
Chris, it's not easy
674
00:38:52,664 --> 00:38:56,533
to relate to someone
who's accused of four murders.
675
00:38:58,669 --> 00:39:01,538
But everyone understands
a child needing a toy.
676
00:39:03,374 --> 00:39:04,941
And the teddy bear
ending up...
677
00:39:04,943 --> 00:39:07,077
It's like it died
when she died.
678
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,081
I never thought of it
that way.

different educations,

00:39:31,969 --> 00:39:34,404
and yet there's something
so similar about us.

Some of what
he writes is really...

don't you?

I don't presume
anything anymore.

I'm going to say a word,
693
00:39:53,091 --> 00:39:53,089
then we just write
the first thing

00:39:53,091 --> 00:39:56,559
that comes to our mind.
Don't even think about it.
695

All right.
Okay? The future.

698
00:40:13,477 --> 00:40:15,879
I wrote
"always another opportunity."
699
00:40:16,881 --> 00:40:18,481
I didn't write anything.

That's depressing, but true.

Oh, that's really weird,

00:40:52,516 --> 00:40:54,784
for "love" I wrote
"Mike and Jill."

What?

00:40:57,054 --> 00:40:59,789
I guess I was just
looking at you
710
00:41:01,659 --> 00:41:03,660
and I thought you were

be able to speak together.

communicating with
Mr. Longo.

with you about matters

to the trial,

for you.
966
00:55:48,511 --> 00:55:50,379
Your cooperation
might make the difference
967
00:55:50,381 --> 00:55:52,715
between him being
found guilty or set free.
968
00:55:53,450 --> 00:55:55,117
Set free?
What are you talking about?
969
00:55:55,119 --> 00:55:56,518
He pleaded guilty.
970
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,988
We think he might be trying
to confuse the jury
971
00:55:59,990 --> 00:56:01,790
as part of
some bigger game plan.
972
00:56:02,392 --> 00:56:05,527
If he can sow enough doubt
to force a mistrial,
he's won.
973
00:56:06,396 --> 00:56:08,430
I know this doesn't make
any sense right now,

but I've seen
a lot of killers
in court down the years.

they look like

Longo has this calm
about him.
978

He knows something.
979
00:56:23,546 --> 00:56:25,714
I believe we're dealing
with an exceptionally
dangerous man

who has killed before,
981
00:56:27,484 --> 00:56:29,151
and he will kill again
if he is allowed.

01:02:13,864 --> 01:02:16,898
I asked him what happened
to his family.
1067
01:02:16,900 --> 01:02:19,301
And he said he'd sent them
to a better place.
1068
01:02:19,303 --> 01:02:22,104
GREG: A better place?
What do you think
he meant by that?
1069
01:02:22,271 --> 01:02:23,505
Do you believe that
he had murdered his family?
1070
01:02:23,507 --> 01:02:25,040
DAN: That he had, or that...
1071
01:02:25,042 --> 01:02:26,842
BLAISE: Objection.
JUDGE ODENKIRK: Overruled.
1072
01:02:27,009 --> 01:02:30,312
A car like that
up on a bridge
at 4:30 in the morning?
1073
01:02:30,314 --> 01:02:31,980
I've lived up there
my whole life,
1074
01:02:31,982 --> 01:02:33,982
and that's unusual.
1075
01:02:34,183 --> 01:02:36,785
Anyway, I heard
a couple of splashes.
1076
01:02:36,787 --> 01:02:36,785
So I called up
1077
01:02:38,421 --> 01:02:42,057
and asked him what
was going on. He said,
1078
01:02:42,892 --> 01:02:43,992
"Nothing."
1079
01:02:43,994 --> 01:02:43,992
GREG: Could you recognize
that man today?
1080
01:02:43,994 --> 01:02:47,062
JACK: Yeah... Yeah.
1081
01:02:47,064 --> 01:02:48,530
GREG: Could you point
to the man?
1082
01:02:51,067 --> 01:02:52,334
JUDGE ODENKIRK:
Let the record show
1083
01:02:52,336 --> 01:02:55,003
the witness points
to the defendant.
1084
01:02:55,204 --> 01:02:56,805
GREG: Do you know
the defendant?
1085
01:02:57,006 --> 01:02:58,874
BETH: Yes, I do.
1086
01:02:59,041 --> 01:02:59,040
How do you know him?
1087
01:02:59,042 --> 01:03:02,210
I am the manager
at the Starbucks
where he worked.
1088
01:03:02,912 --> 01:03:03,945
How long did he
work for you?
1089
01:03:03,947 --> 01:03:05,180
About two months.
1090
01:03:05,815 --> 01:03:07,549
When was the last time
you saw him?
1091
01:03:07,950 --> 01:03:10,452
December 17th.
In the morning,
1092
01:03:10,454 --> 01:03:13,021
he came in to work
about an hour late.
1093
01:03:13,222 --> 01:03:15,957
GREG: This was the day
after the murders.
1094
01:03:15,959 --> 01:03:17,025
BETH: Yes.
1095
01:03:17,193 --> 01:03:18,827
GREG: Did he say anything?
1096
01:03:18,829 --> 01:03:21,830
BETH: He said his wife
had left him for another man.
1097
01:03:22,031 --> 01:03:24,099
A reporter.
1098
01:03:24,567 --> 01:03:25,834
GREG: How did he seem?
1099
01:03:27,036 --> 01:03:28,837
BETH: The same as always.
Very calm.
1100
01:03:30,039 --> 01:03:31,907
Very remote.
1101
01:03:32,375 --> 01:03:34,042
GREG: You say you know
the defendant.
1102
01:03:34,044 --> 01:03:36,044
When did you last see him?
1103
01:03:36,212 --> 01:03:36,211
MALE WITNESS: December 19th.
1104
01:03:36,213 --> 01:03:39,815
GREG: December 19th.
Two days after the murder.
1105
01:03:39,817 --> 01:03:40,916
MALE WITNESS: Yes.
1106
01:03:41,117 --> 01:03:42,184
What was he doing?
1107
01:03:42,186 --> 01:03:43,585
Playing basketball.
1108
01:03:43,953 --> 01:03:45,387
He was playing basketball
two days
1109
01:03:45,389 --> 01:03:46,822
after his wife and children
were murdered?
1110
01:03:46,824 --> 01:03:48,256
Yeah. We attend
the same gym.
1111
01:03:48,258 --> 01:03:49,591
CORONER: Neither of
the children's bodies
1112
01:03:49,593 --> 01:03:50,992
displayed any evidence of
1113
01:03:50,994 --> 01:03:50,992
having struggled
with an attacker,
1114
01:03:50,994 --> 01:03:55,597
which suggests
they likely knew
and trusted their killer.
1115
01:03:58,234 --> 01:04:00,202
Both Zachary and Sadie
1116
01:04:00,204 --> 01:04:02,103
had Play-Doh
under their fingernails.
1117
01:04:04,073 --> 01:04:07,142
Sadie's toenails were painted
with a pearlescent polish,
1118
01:04:07,977 --> 01:04:10,612
the same as
on MaryJane's toes.
1119
01:04:11,881 --> 01:04:13,882
They likely painted
them together.
1120
01:04:16,552 --> 01:04:17,886
Madison
1121
01:04:19,155 --> 01:04:21,289
was found in the suitcase.
1122
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:27,863
Tiny scratch marks
here indicate
1123
01:04:27,865 --> 01:04:29,164
Madison must have
come around
1124
01:04:29,166 --> 01:04:32,234
at some point
before she drowned.
1125
01:04:32,435 --> 01:04:34,903
Dozens of facial
capillaries burst
1126
01:04:34,905 --> 01:04:36,638
as she struggled for air.
1127
01:04:37,173 --> 01:04:39,975
MaryJane's body was found
in this suitcase.
1128
01:04:40,142 --> 01:04:43,211
This was a violent
and frenzied act.
1129
01:04:43,613 --> 01:04:45,347
A ferocious attack.
1130
01:04:46,082 --> 01:04:48,016
Her neck has been broken.
1131
01:04:49,018 --> 01:04:51,152
Though this looks like
it may have happened
after she died,
1132
01:04:51,154 --> 01:04:53,288
when she was forced
into the suitcase.
1133
01:04:55,091 --> 01:04:56,892
GREG: The prosecution rests,
Your Honor.
1134
01:04:58,628 --> 01:05:00,128
JUDGE ODENKIRK:
Then we shall begin with
1135
01:05:00,130 --> 01:05:01,897
the defense's first witness,
1136
01:05:02,098 --> 01:05:05,166
Christian Longo,
tomorrow morning.

For what?

This must be

Why are you talking to me?
1145
01:05:25,088 --> 01:05:27,255
Do you need this scene
for your book or something?
1146
01:05:27,590 --> 01:05:29,124
No, not at all.
1147

But you're still writing it?

I have a commission
I have to honor.
1149

You had a choice of
so many stories to tell,
1150
01:05:36,566 --> 01:05:38,199
and you chose his.
1151
01:05:38,935 --> 01:05:40,669
Actually, he picked me.
1152
01:05:42,271 --> 01:05:44,606

He didn't pick you.

He used you.

the night of the 15th,
1161
01:07:30,112 --> 01:07:32,147
you were honest with her
1162
01:07:32,149 --> 01:07:34,382
about your debts
for the first time?
1163
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,253
CHRISTIAN: Maybe it was
too much
all at once like that,
1164
01:07:39,255 --> 01:07:40,789
but, yes,
I told her everything.
1165
01:07:41,457 --> 01:07:44,392
She had tears in her eyes.
1166
01:07:45,327 --> 01:07:47,328
But I intended to
1167
01:07:47,463 --> 01:07:49,531
put it all out
into the open.
1168
01:07:50,066 --> 01:07:51,199
Go on.
1169
01:07:52,268 --> 01:07:54,202
So I told her.
1170
01:07:54,403 --> 01:07:57,672
I told her that we weren't
paid up on the condo.
1171
01:07:57,674 --> 01:07:59,340
And that we'd have
to move again.
1172
01:07:59,542 --> 01:08:02,277
About the credit cards
that I'd gotten
1173
01:08:02,279 --> 01:08:03,745
by forging
her father's signature.
1174
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:07,415
About the counterfeit checks.
About stealing the van.
1175
01:08:08,284 --> 01:08:10,485
I think that
hurt her the most.
1176
01:08:10,686 --> 01:08:14,422
I'd given it to her
for our anniversary.

(CHUCKLES)
1178
01:08:16,826 --> 01:08:18,560
She'd always wanted one.
1179
01:08:19,161 --> 01:08:21,429
How did she react
when you told her?
1180
01:08:23,165 --> 01:08:24,833
She was pretty
shaken up. Um...
1181
01:08:26,168 --> 01:08:28,436
When I told her
about the van, she hit me.
1182
01:08:29,305 --> 01:08:30,538
She was screaming that
1183
01:08:30,540 --> 01:08:32,307
I should get out
and leave her alone.
1184
01:08:32,575 --> 01:08:34,309
I'd never seen her
like that.
1185
01:08:35,311 --> 01:08:40,381
Uh, Zach and Sadie were
asleep in the living room,
1186
01:08:40,716 --> 01:08:42,450
so I just went
and joined them.
1187
01:08:42,785 --> 01:08:44,886
When I woke up,
it was morning.
1188
01:08:44,888 --> 01:08:46,321
I made the kids breakfast.
1189
01:08:46,455 --> 01:08:48,723
I went in to
check on MaryJane.
1190
01:08:51,327 --> 01:08:53,862
She was, uh,
asleep with Maddie.
1191
01:08:55,197 --> 01:08:56,698
When I woke her,
she pushed past me
1192
01:08:56,700 --> 01:08:58,266
and went into
the bathroom.
1193
01:08:58,534 --> 01:09:00,368
So I took Maddie
and sat with her
1194
01:09:00,370 --> 01:09:01,469
in the living room
with the kids.
1195

We made some animals
out of Play-Doh.

And then it was
getting close to
1198
01:09:13,316 --> 01:09:14,616
the time I was supposed
to be at work.
1199
01:09:14,618 --> 01:09:17,418
So I offered to call in sick,
1200
01:09:18,220 --> 01:09:20,188
but MaryJane said I had to go
1201
01:09:20,190 --> 01:09:21,623
because we were
in such a deep hole,
1202
01:09:22,158 --> 01:09:24,559
we couldn't afford
any more sick days.
1203
01:09:24,693 --> 01:09:26,895
So she got dressed
and drove me to work.
1204
01:09:28,164 --> 01:09:29,497
And
1205
01:09:30,366 --> 01:09:32,367
I worried about her all day.
1206
01:09:32,635 --> 01:09:35,436
But when I got home, late,
1207
01:09:35,438 --> 01:09:37,172
(SIGHS)
1208
01:09:37,506 --> 01:09:38,907
the door was open.
1209
01:09:39,909 --> 01:09:41,643
Uh, she was inside.
1210
01:09:42,778 --> 01:09:44,779
She was wearing
just her robe.
1211
01:09:46,649 --> 01:09:48,650
And she wouldn't speak.
1212
01:09:50,586 --> 01:09:53,321
And then she collapsed.
1213
01:09:53,656 --> 01:09:56,191
I asked her what was wrong.
1214
01:09:56,525 --> 01:09:58,326
And I was actually
1215
01:09:58,661 --> 01:10:01,596
getting irritated
because she wouldn't answer.
1216
01:10:01,598 --> 01:10:03,364
She was just sobbing.
1217
01:10:04,266 --> 01:10:08,403
So I went into
the bedroom to change,
1218
01:10:10,339 --> 01:10:11,940
and that's...
1219
01:10:13,609 --> 01:10:15,677
That's when I saw Madison.
1220
01:10:16,612 --> 01:10:18,413
She was
1221
01:10:19,615 --> 01:10:21,549
tangled in the sheets.
1222
01:10:21,684 --> 01:10:24,419
She looked sick. Purplish.
1223
01:10:25,554 --> 01:10:26,955
She wasn't moving.
1224
01:10:27,957 --> 01:10:32,694
So, I went over
and sort of jostled her.
1225
01:10:32,696 --> 01:10:35,230
That's when I discovered that
she was cold to the touch.
1226
01:10:35,497 --> 01:10:36,965
Very cold.
1227
01:10:38,634 --> 01:10:40,468
And I couldn't...
1228
01:10:40,470 --> 01:10:43,371
I couldn't believe
what was happening.
1229
01:10:43,572 --> 01:10:45,640
I ran into the living room.
1230
01:10:45,841 --> 01:10:48,576
I grabbed MaryJane
and lifted her to her feet.
1231
01:10:48,911 --> 01:10:50,578
And I was...
I was yelling,
1232
01:10:51,580 --> 01:10:53,248
"What happened to Maddie?
1233
01:10:53,250 --> 01:10:54,582
"What...
What's wrong with her?"
1234
01:10:55,618 --> 01:10:56,884
(INHALES)
1235
01:10:58,854 --> 01:11:03,725
And that's when I realized,
what about Zach and Sadie?
1236
01:11:05,394 --> 01:11:07,695
And when I said
their names out loud,
1237
01:11:07,697 --> 01:11:09,964
MaryJane got hysterical.
1238
01:11:09,966 --> 01:11:13,301
She started hitting me

Mr. Longo,
1434
01:23:17,459 --> 01:23:19,293
you had the opportunity
1435
01:23:19,295 --> 01:23:22,262
to spare the relatives
of your victims further pain
1436
01:23:22,397 --> 01:23:26,000
by admitting the true extent
of your crime.
1437
01:23:27,469 --> 01:23:30,337
Instead,
you manipulated this court
1438
01:23:30,339 --> 01:23:32,406
like you manipulated
your family
1439
01:23:32,540 --> 01:23:35,342
despite the overwhelming
evidence against you.
1440
01:23:38,279 --> 01:23:40,214

01:23:43,485 --> 01:23:47,755

You must have realized
no one would believe you.

Quite frankly,
you are a mystery to me.

she was straddling the bed

is waking up in the airport.

as temporary insanity.

But it makes no sense.

Even if MaryJane had wanted
to kill Madison,
1497
01:28:40,516 --> 01:28:42,049
she would have
had the entire day.
1498
01:28:42,051 --> 01:28:43,517
Why would she wait
for you to get home
1499
01:28:43,519 --> 01:28:44,918
so you could catch her
in the act?

or she's out of her mind.

You can't have it both ways.

makes sense is a break-in.

You came home,
1504
01:28:53,028 --> 01:28:55,662
you found everyone dead,
you panicked.
1505
01:28:55,797 --> 01:28:57,464
You thought someone
was trying to frame you.
1506
01:28:57,799 --> 01:29:00,667
So you dumped the bodies
and you went on the run.
1507

But somebody else
killed them.
1508
01:29:02,971 --> 01:29:04,404
