Law & Order: Special Victims Unit S5E15 - English Transcript

(narrator) In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories. [Police radio buzzing] Suspect turned east from Columbus onto 95. [Police radio chattering] [Police siren wailing] I lost him between Columbus and CPW. Get him, Sammy. Get him. [Sammy barking] Get away from me. Get the hell off me. [Screams] (dog handler) Out, out. [Police siren wailing] Good girl, good girl. Thanks. [Grunting] I didn't do anything. Name. Screw you. Screw You, you're under arrest for attempted *** until we nail you for the other 11. Prove it. Does he look familiar to you? That's him. That's the *** who tried to *** me! See, Screw You? Wasn't that easy? (dog handler) Detectives, you better come down here. Sammy found a body. (dog handler) She's cold. Been dead for a while. I'll tape off the street. Heel. Looks like he was either tryin' to protect her or hide her. Got a wound to the back of the head. [Police radio chattering] No blood on the ground. Could be a dump job. Shannon Coyle, 16, from Brooklyn. Sixth street in Park Slope. Logo on the backpack says WTP. William Theodore Prep's two blocks from here. Doesn't look like a robbery. There's $70 in the wallet and a credit card. This couldn't be our ***. Lucky break the dog found her. Not too lucky for the parents. [Sighing] Let's notify them, get them down to the morgue. (Warner) Your victim died of a massive cerebral hemorrhage caused by blunt force trauma. (Stabler) Time of death? Based on body temp, I'd say between And she definitely had sex before she died. I found traces of spermicide. ***? No genital trauma, but sex and getting your head bashed in don't usually go together. Get in touch with the parents? Her father's out of the country. Mrs. Coyle and her son Brian are right outside. I'll wheel her in front of the camera. (Fin) She wants to see her. Mrs. Coyle, I'm Det. Stabler. Det. Benson. This is Dr. Warner. You sure about this? She's my daughter. Please. Oh, God! [Sniffling] Oh, baby. Oh, you're so cold. Oh, my sweet baby. [Crying] (Susan) Shannon always told me where she was going and who she was with. So when I hadn't heard from her by 9:00, I knew something was wrong. I don't know how I'm goin' to tell her father. (Benson) Is your husband on a business trip? For the last two and a half months. My husband, Barry, works for a French engineering firm. They're somewhere in the Congo s-surveying to build a dam. Mrs. Coyle, how was Shannon doing in school? She was a straight-A student. I mean, I think she cut an occasional class, but she was never any trouble. Hey, Brian, was there anyone she didn't like, someone givin' her a hard time? If there was, she would have told me. Mrs. Coyle, there's evidence that your daughter had sex before she died. She was ***? (Stabler) We don't know that for sure, but we have to consider all possibilities. Can you think of anyone that she may have been involved with? If my daughter was having sex, she would have told me. And when is the last time you heard from her? She called me from her cell phone and said she was gonna be late. Her choir teacher called an extra rehearsal. This is Shannon. (girl) See you later, Shannon. Lisa Faber, you just sang a solo in the winter concert and you have a trig midterm tomorrow. What are you going to do now? Cry? [Both giggling] Hi, Mom. This reminds me of Elizabeth's friends. Typical high school kids. What do you think? Confident, good self-esteem, communicative. Shannon seems well-adjusted. In other words, a normal, healthy teenager. Computer Crimes get anything off her hard drive? It's clean. There's no visits to chat rooms, no suspicious e-mails. Maybe it was a random attack. Doubt it. I checked the inventory of Shannon's backpack. No cell phone. The perp must've taken it thinking his number was in the memory. Which points to someone she knew. Well, Warner says that Shannon had sex, but the mother and brother say she wasn't seeing anyone. Which means Mom doesn't know that Shannon was sexually active. Maybe her friends do. The school has given us the cafeteria for interviews. John, Fin, see if they can help us reconstruct her day. Shannon was last seen at choir practice. You two start with the music teacher. Shannon was the best of the best. Two years, never missed a rehearsal. Beautiful voice, unlimited potential. I feel like I lost my own child. Do you always rehearse after school, Mr. Abruzzo? Please, call me Steve. Um, no, not usually. But the state competition is just a few weeks away, and we need extra practice. Steve, how late did you keep the kids yesterday? Till 5:00. I don't want their parents to complain that they missed dinner. Do you have any idea if Shannon was headed home? I wish I knew. Would she know? That's, uh, Lisa Faber. She might. She and Shannon were joined at the hip. We, uh, we went for a cup of coffee around the corner, after rehearsal. I'm sorry. It's okay, Lisa. What time did you leave? Um, like, 6:00, uh, I think. And did Shannon say where she was going? No, but I figured home. Did you see her before choir? Yeah, I mean, Shannon and I have two classes together. American History and Trig. Seventh and eighth periods. And before that? We had lunch. (Fin) Here? The food here sucks. We grabbed a couple of slices at Ray's up the street. You walk over together? No, we met there. Did she make it to her morning classes? Probably. She was in homeroom. (Stabler) Did you talk to her? Every day for the past three years. Uh, my last name's Connor, hers is Coyle. She sat behind me. You know if she was dating anyone? She wouldn't talk to me about that. Lisa would know. Shannon wasn't going out with anyone. Not that she wasn't asked. Constantly. How do you and Shannon usually get home? I walk. She, uh, takes the subway. But it was freezing last night, so she hopped a cab. (Stabler) Cab companies I talked to can't find a fare logged from the coffee shop to Park Slope. I'm still lookin'. Nobody we've interviewed saw Shannon after 6:00 p. m. She didn't die until 10:00. That's a lot of hours unaccounted for. (Fin) Looking for you guys. Just ran every male employee at William Theodore Prep. All clean. Only bump was the choir teacher, Steven Abruzzo. (Cragen) What'd you find out? He's new on the job. Just finished a six year gig up in Riverdale at Garfield High. What happened? I don't know. All anyone's sayin' is he suddenly quit at the end of the last school year. Go ask Mr. Music why. (all) �� Our gracious king �ܢ� Okay, let's, um, let's take a break. Wow. They sound great. Yeah. I was gonna cancel practice, but, um, the kids said Shannon would have wanted them to sing. I think they need an outlet for their emotions. Sounds like you do, too. We know what happened at your last school. Why bring that up? Well, let's see. One of your students is dead. And apparently you like younger women. A lot younger. That complaint cost me tenure and a pay raise. (Stabler) That's a pretty high price to pay if you're innocent. Damn right. It was a load of crap. Really? That girl said that you invited her over to your place for a private voice lesson. She's a liar, all right? [Phone ringing] Constantly cut class. I gave her a D. This is what I get for tryin' to do my job. Look, Detective, teaching is my life, okay? I would never do anything to hurt these kids. Elliot. I hope not. The lab found something in Shannon's purse. (Benson) So what have you got? A heart-shaped keychain. With a super-lock key. Costs $10 to replace. It match the locks at Shannon's place? No, but I'm betting this key to her heart opens wherever she got these. They were tucked in with the keychain. Condoms. So, no boyfriend, but she's ready to have safe sex. Maybe with the guy whose print's on the wrapper. Right forefinger, beautiful 10-point match. In the system? No rap sheet. Pre-employment prints from the board of Ed. Some teacher. Steven Abruzzo. How'd you know? I'm a good judge of character. (Stabler) What do you know, a super lock. Let's test our evidence. [Girl moaning] A school backpack. What's that sound like to you? Statutory ***. [Girl continues moaning] (Benson) Sorry to interrupt. (Stabler) Get up, now. You can't just break in here! We didn't. We heard a girl in trouble. Same brand as Shannon. Hey, get up. Get dressed. Lisa. You're crazy if you think I killed Shannon. You're screwing one student. You were screwing Shannon, too. You workin' your way through the 11th grade, Steve? I never slept with her. I believe him, don't you? He's probably passin' out condoms to his female students so they'll practice safe sex. Or maybe Shannon finds out you're doin' her best friend. She tells anybody, your career's history. So I *** her? Are you insane? Your career's over anyway, choir boy. Lisa's 16. She's jailbait. Steve didn't force me to do anything I didn't want him to. We're in love. The law says that you can't consent to sex. And I'm not pressing charges. We'll do that. But right now Steve's looking pretty good for ***. My parents are on vacation. I spent the night at Steve's place. He didn't go near Shannon. No? She got these condoms from a box inside Steve's apartment. They match the spermicide that we found in Shannon. How do you explain that? I gave Shannon the key to Steve's apartment so she could see her boyfriend. Their their parents said they couldn't go out, so they had to sneak around. They sneak around last night? [Sighing] Steve had a meeting, so we hung out at his apartment. They went in the bedroom for, like, an hour, then they left. Together? In the same taxi. Boyfriend's name? Aidan. How'd you get past the doorman? Det. Benson. This is Det. Stabler. Is Aidan home? I'm his mother. What's this about? Well, one of his classmates was murdered. I heard. It's awful. Aidan, come to the door. What's up, Mom? This is ludicrous. Our son's not a murderer. You lied to me. I had to. They didn't know Shannon and I were goin' out. Shannon was your girlfriend? Even after I told you to stay away from her? Debra, now is not the time. There's nothin' wrong with her like you think. I didn't kill Shannon. I loved her. Aidan, we know that you two had sex the night she was murdered. What in God's name did you do? Debra, please. Please. (Benson) Where did you go after you left Mr. Abruzzo's apartment? We got into a cab. Shannon was goin' to Brooklyn, so we dropped me off first. What time? (Aidan) Around 8:30. The taxi let me off down the block from our building so my folks wouldn't see us. But Dad was already there, gettin' out of another cab. It's true. I still have the receipt. Where were you after that, Aidan? Home. All night. Ask our doorman. We're gonna need a DNA sample from your son. I think we should call a lawyer. [Knocking on door] Detectives. Excuse us. Fin located Shannon's cabbie, who said Shannon took a call right after they dropped off Aidan. Then she told the cabbie to take her to the school. TARU is dumpin' her cell phone. This can't be good news. Shannon Coyle was eight weeks pregnant with a girl. Aidan's got to be the father. (Warner) He can't be. How do you know that? We haven't taken his DNA. Don't need it. All of us get half our DNA from our mother and half from our father. The fetus had 62 percent of the same genes as Shannon. So she and the baby's father are related. So we're talking about ***. With who? Most likely her brother, but possibly her father, or uncle, or first cousin. Well, the pregnancy is enough motive for any one of them to want to shut Shannon up. Aidan still could've killed her. Until we can prove it, there's nothin' to hold him on. You better tell Shannon's mother. Pregnant? That can't be true. Mrs. Coyle, we understand how difficult this is, but the DNA proves that the baby's father was related to Shannon. What do you mean? Do you remember Shannon spending any time with, uh, uncles or cousins about two months ago? No, she doesn't have any uncles or cousins. My husband, Barry, is an only child. He's been out of the country for 11 weeks. Oh, God. No. [Cries] Brian? Brian, did you get Shannon pregnant? Tell me what you did. You tell me! I didn't do it! Did you get her pregnant? Mom, please. Tell me if you got her pregnant! Mrs. Coyle! Mrs. Coyle, calm down. (Benson) Come down the stairs. Mom, I never touched her. Shut up! You shut up! Brian, you're gonna have to come with us. Mrs. Coyle, we need your permission to test your son's DNA. Do whatever you want with him. Come on. I was home the night Shannon died. Mom will tell you. I'm sure she will. I didn't kill my sister, okay? Okay. I never slept with her. Brian, I know how tough it is. You accidentally see Shannon comin' out of the shower. Undressing in her room. You're sick. She looks good, like all the girls at school. That's disgusting. Stop! You couldn't help Stop! I never touched Shannon! How could I be the father of her baby? Hey, what about your dad? You sure he's out of town? Why would he come back and not tell us? We can't even have Shannon's funeral until he gets here. Barry Coyle's company confirms that he's been working in Africa. So Brian is the only one who could have impregnated his sister. Elliot's got him at the ME for a DNA test. No arrest until we get the results. Well, he may have killed Shannon. Just because he slept with her? I can't take that to the grand jury. Susan Coyle called. She said she lost her head when she tried to beat the crap out of Brian. I'm not sure I would have reacted different. Is there any history of previous abuse? Neighbors never even heard them talk loud. They say that Susan keeps to herself. She lives for those kids. What does Brian say? He wants to go home. Then cut him loose. He's not the only suspect. We know where Aidan and Brian were the night of the ***? Parents' alibi for both of them. But parents cover for their kids. Let's find out who's lying. Start with the Connors, and ask them why they didn't want Romeo and Juliet to see each other. (Debra) Sweetheart, I expect a call when you're through with study group. Night, Mom. Bye, Dad. (Jason) Okay. We wouldn't lie to you, Detectives. Aidan was here all night. Mrs. Connor, why didn't you want your son Aidan to go out with Shannon? Because of her mother. I've known Susan since our kids started kindergarten. We used to be friends. What happened? Well, I kept asking her when we were gonna go out together. You know, like civilized couples do. She kept making excuses about her husband being away, and I finally realized they thought they were too good for us. Or we were too good for them. Look, I am really sorry about what happened to Shannon, but my Aidan can do much better. Jason, it's a Maggie Norris. What do you think? Magnificent. How many more? Just the Dior. Oh, be a dear and stop at the vaults, pick up my diamonds tomorrow. We're hosting the Manhattan Hospital benefit tomorrow night. I have to apologize for my wife. She's a bit of a snob. You don't agree with her about the Coyles? Barry Coyle's donated a lot of money to William Theodore Prep. So you've met him. Sure. Played golf with him a few times. My wife would kill me if she found out. I'm a developer, he's an engineer. We had plenty to talk about. He's a very down-to-earth guy. Really into his kids. [Cell phone ringing] (Benson) Did you ever meet Shannon? I've met all of Aidan's friends. But you didn't know that they were dating. No, but I know my son. Forget killing his girlfriend. He wouldn't hurt a fly. (Stabler on phone) Okay. Well, thanks for everything. We'll be in touch. TARU got the dump on Shannon's cell phone. Munch and Fin are on it. (Morales) It's just like the mother told you. Shannon called home from her cell at 2:31 the afternoon she was murdered. Then Shannon's at school until 5:00. She has coffee with her friend Lisa until 6:00. Back to the teacher's place for a little lovin' with Aidan. They leave at 8:00. Drop Aidan off on the corner at 8:30. All right, then the cab takes her to school at 8:30. When was that last call? to Shannon's phone from a blocked number. You able to unblock it? Traced it to her cell phone. Billed to one Jason Connor. Aidan called Shannon back, they go out again, which makes him the last one to talk to her before she was killed. You better take this. [Phone ringing] [Tires screeching] Sector car responded to a call for shots fired. They found him all bloodied up in the driver's seat. What was he doin' here? Working. It's his latest construction project across the street. . 25-caliber Beretta Jetfire. CSU found it under the car. Already dusted. No prints. Whoever did it wanted to make sure Jason Connor was dead. Emptied the whole clip into him. Anybody think this is a coincidence? First Shannon is killed, now her boyfriend's father. Why? The night of Shannon's ***, Jason Connor saw Shannon and Aidan in a taxi together. I think that Aidan Connor murdered Shannon, and then his father. How do you figure? (Benson) Aidan finds out that Shannon's pregnant. He knows he used condoms when they had sex. He thinks Shannon cheated on him. The tragedy is it was with her brother. Yeah, but Aidan didn't know that. He killed Shannon, then he realizes the last person to see them together was his father. You *** your father to cover up killing your girlfriend? That's cold. [Phone ringing] The kid doesn't strike me as a sociopath. Captain, this kid has lied to us every single time we've talked to him. You want us to bring Aidan in? The mother's just gonna lawyer him up, especially now that dad's dead. Ballistics traced the gun. Bought in Pennsylvania in 1985 by Jason Connor. That narrows down our suspect pool. Yeah, to Aidan. Better not jump to conclusions. The gun's registered to Susan Coyle. [Doorbell buzzing] How many times will you knock? Let's talk to a neighbor. (woman) Can I help you? (Benson) Police. We're looking for Susan and Brian Coyle. They left early this morning. Woke me up out of a deep sleep putting a bunch of suitcases into the trunk of their car. Did she say where they were going? Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Wish they were havin' it here, though. Having what here? Shannon's funeral. She was a sweet girl. Thank you. It's pretty hard to have a funeral when the ME hasn't released her body. Why would Susan be running if she didn't *** Jason? What was she doing with his gun? Maybe they knew each other a lot better than Jason let on. Having an affair? Susan Coyle and Jason Connor were definitely having an affair. How do you know that? I'll show you. (Benson) The Coyle family tree. We call it a genotype. We know Shannon's fetus should have had half its genes from Shannon and half from the father. I re-tested the DNA, just in case the samples were contaminated. Got the same results. The fetus has 62 percent of Shannon's genes. So it was ***. Yes, but her brother Brian's not a match. And we know that her father, Barry, was gone for more than eight weeks. So it couldn't have been him. So who got Shannon pregnant? At first I thought there was another sibling we didn't know about or the family lied about no uncles or cousins. We checked and we couldn't find any. Then there's only one other option: The fetus has a double grandparent. What the hell does that mean? The DNA confirms it. Shannon and the guy who impregnated her have the same father. Jason Connor and Barry Coyle are the same person. Which means that Aidan Connor is the father of Shannon's baby. (Debra) It all makes sense now. Jason's behavior, all those trips out of town to manage his projects. Why Susan never wanted us to meet Barry. He was a fraud. He didn't exist. You're sure Aidan didn't know. [Sighing] I'm not sure of anything now. We have to tell him. No, please. He's a good boy. First his girlfriend gets murdered, then his father. [Sighing] I don't think he can handle any more. I'm sorry, but we have to find out who killed your husband. [Phone ringing] Where's my mom? With my boss. You and I, we gotta talk privately. Look, I told you I didn't kill Shannon. I believe you. There's something you need to know. About what? Your father. Do you know who shot him? We're investigating. Uh, I know how much you loved your dad. So what I'm about to tell you is not gonna be easy to understand. Did he do something wrong? Aidan, your father was also Shannon's father. Shannon's not my sister. Our DNA tests prove she is. How can you know this? Because Shannon was pregnant, and we tested the fetus's genes. The fetus? Oh, God. Aidan, listen to me. This is not your fault. No. None of this is your fault. No. She was my sister? I had sex with my sister? [Vomiting] [Yelling] [Sobbing] He couldn't fake that kind of physical reaction. This kid didn't kill anyone. Susan and Brian Coyle just turned up south of Montreal. State police stopped them from crossing into Canada. Bring 'em back. Where's Brian? He's down the hall. We have done nothing wrong. Why are you taking us back to New York? You're under arrest for ***. You think I killed my own daughter? Not Shannon. Her father, Jason Connor. What? Jason's dead? Jason's dead? [Quavering] I didn't kill Jason. (Benson) He was shot with your gun, Susan. No, you've got this all wrong. Really? Now are you gonna put on another performance like you did when you slapped your son around? I knew Brian didn't hurt Shannon. That's true. L I was just trying to protect Jason. Why would you protect the man who murdered your daughter? He didn't *** Shannon. It was an accident! You knew what happened all along, from the first time that we talked to you. I suggest you start telling the truth. Jason called Shannon after they saw each other, and they met a couple of blocks from the school. When Jason told Shannon Aidan was her brother, she fell apart. She told him she was pregnant. Jason begged Shannon to forgive him and she pushed him away. She slipped and fell backwards and hit her head. Jason tried to revive her, but it was it was too late. She was gone. So he left her in an alley. Jason was confused! I mean, he didn't know what to do. And you bought his story. You're tellin' me that you don't blame Jason for your daughter's death? Would I blame him if he was with Shannon and she got hit by a car? Of course not. Jason would give up everything he had before he'd hurt Shannon. When did Jason tell you this? The night it happened. He he came to me after Brian was asleep. He was devastated, crying. He said he was finally gonna leave his wife. He told me I should take Brian and drive up to Montreal, catch a plane to Cuba. That he would meet us in Havana in a few days. Susan, your daughter is dead. Nothing's gonna bring Shannon back. Why would I kill him? (Stabler) We found the real Barry Coyle living outside St. Louis with his wife and two kids. Susan tells us that Jason stole his name and profession from an engineering directory from the Public Library. What about Susan's travel plans? Found Brian and Susan's plane ticket to Cuba, but not Jason's. We have no evidence he ever intended to go down there and meet 'em. If he backed out, that could be why Susan killed him. I'd say that's a good bet. Debra Connor brought some show and tell. (Stabler) Mrs. Connor, can I help you? I'm here to help you. What are these? My diamonds. They were in my safe deposit box until they were stolen two days ago. Susan Coyle? How'd she get in your vault? She had ID in my name and she forged my signature. I never went to that bank. Jason always took care of our finances. How much was the jewelry worth? Over $2 million. She cleaned me out. (Stabler) Thank you. Susan stole the diamonds, she had the gun, she had the motive. I have all I need for an indictment. (Debra) The bank called me. Said I'd forgotten my sunglasses the previous day. I said that was impossible because I'd never been there. That's when I learned I'd been robbed. How long were you married to Jason, Mrs. Connor? Did you have any inkling he was planning to leave you? No, quite the opposite. We were planning a benefit dinner the night after he was murdered. He asked me to make sure that his tux was pressed. Thank you. Your witness. All those years and you never knew your husband had a second family? No, I trusted him. Obviously that trust was misplaced. With all due respect, Mrs. Connor, you must feel like the stupidest woman on the planet. Objection. Is there a question? I'll withdraw. Mrs. Connor, do you own a handgun? (Debra) No. Did your husband? He said he did. (Seaver) Are you saying you never saw it? Yes, I'm saying I never saw it. Do you know where he kept it? [Sighing] No, I do not, nor do I want to. I don't like guns. It started out as an affair, but then I found out I was pregnant with Shannon. (Seaver) And what did Jason say when he found out? That children needed a father, and he would be there no matter what. He was good to his word. But he wouldn't leave his wife for you. Didn't you ever want to break it off? (Susan) Yes. But you didn't because you were dependent on him? And because I loved him, and because he loved Brian and Shannon. He tried to be as much of a father as he could. He provided for them. Stayin' with Jason was the only way I could protect my kids. When Jason told you to meet him in Havana did he give you money? No, but he did give me his key to the safe deposit box. I was only doing what he told me to. Objection. Hearsay. Sustained. Thank you. Nothing further. Did he give you the key, or did you take it from him after you shot him? Objection. Withdrawn. Ms. Coyle, it was really you who forbade Shannon from seeing Aidan, wasn't it? No, Debra Connor did, too. Because she didn't think that your daughter was good enough for her son. But you didn't want them to have a relationship because you knew it would put Jason's secret in jeopardy, isn't that right? Yes. People's 2, Your Honor. Do you recognize this? Yes. We've heard testimony that this weapon was used to *** Jason Connor. Do you happen to know in whose name it's registered? My name. No further questions. Redirect, Your Honor. When was the last time you saw this gun? Approximately 15 years ago. I told Jason to get it out of the house. (Seaver) Why was that? Well, Shannon was a toddler and I just I didn't feel safe having a gun with children around. Do you know what happened to it? No, I never saw it again. (Stabler) The gun was Susan's, but she just didn't have it in her possession. Right. I wouldn't worry about it. All the jury's heard is how Susan's lived a lie for the last 20 years. They can't stand her. Elliot. Aidan. Can I talk to you alone? Yeah, what's up? Susan's tellin' the truth. About what? The gun that killed my father, it was in our house. Aidan, what are you sayin' to me? Susan didn't kill my dad. I did. Dad kept the gun in his underwear drawer. Susan's lawyer was right. I knew Dad killed Shannon. Okay, but I want you to tell me what happened with you and your dad. I got the gun, I went to his office. He was leaving. I got in his car and I shot him. Just like that, huh? Are you gonna arrest me now? Aidan, why are you doing this? Because I'm guilty. His confession's not real, but his guilt sure is. Because of the ***. Telling him he's not to blame is not gonna change what happened. Why admit to something he didn't do? To punish himself for sleeping with his sister. But what about his mother? Aidan goin' away for life would kill her. Is he trying to punish her, too? No, but I think I know what he is doing. They can't prove I didn't do it. You said in court you were disgusted. Did you mean with yourself? When I found out that Shannon was dead, I didn't know what I was gonna do. We had so much fun together, you know. We could talk like grownups. We loved each other. And then I found out who Shannon really was, and I feel like I ruined her. And now I can't even tell her how sorry I am for what I did. I wish I'd just used my father's gun on myself. Please, stop him. He's lying. How do you know? After the bank called, and I saw the photo of Susan, I realized that he was leaving me for her. And, uh, then I found the plane ticket to Cuba and and I cancelled it. I knew where his gun was. I got it, and I went to his office to confront him. He was just leaving the parking garage and he pulled over to meet me. [Sobbing] And then he told me everything, what happened to Shannon, that she was his daughter. And I knew it. My son had slept with his own sister. And I started shooting, and I couldn't stop myself. He destroyed Aidan's life, but but I don't want Aidan to go to prison for something that I did. You have the right to remain silent, Mrs. Connor. You have the right to an attorney. I don't want an attorney. All I want is to help my son. Can't you see how he's hurting? Please. Please just help him. Can I see my mom now? As soon as we're done booking her. She's under arrest? For murdering your father, yeah. When did you know? In court. She lied when she said she never saw the gun. Shannon's gone, Dad's gone, Mom's going to prison. No one left. Aidan, listen to me. You didn't cause any of this. You, Shannon, Brian, every one of you were just born into this mess. But you've got to get through this, not only for your sake but for your brother's. My brother? Brian. You're the only one he's got left. Hey. Hi. You wanna talk? Sure.
