00:02:26- Signs of rape. bruises on the wrist.
00:02:28Deep ligature marks at the neck.
00:02:30 her lingual bone's been crushed post-mortem?
00:02:33- Well, have to put her on the table to confirm, but yeah, it looks like it.
00:02:36- Two blocks from our first victim.
00:02:39- Same exact message.
00:02:43- Even the same medicinal soap.
00:02:44- Oh, the skin's abraded in places.
00:02:47The person scrubbed so hard this time.
00:02:51- The crimes have excited a-- an obsessive-compulsive behavior.
00:02:54Each one is gonna be cleaner than the one before.
00:02:57It's his signature.
00:02:58- Could be a serial killer.
00:03:00- Yeah. now, what is this?
00:03:04Doesn't look like a defensive wound.
00:03:06- No, it's an impact trauma, like she maybe slammed it in a door.
00:03:09It's stained.
00:03:10Someone swabbed it with betadine.
00:03:11 carol felix just reported her 19-year-old daughter missing.
00:03:18She described our victim.
00:03:22- My little girl.
00:03:25She caught her hand in a drawer.
00:03:29That's all that-- that is what she said the last time I spoke to her.
00:03:35- Do you remember the time exactly, mrs.
00:03:36Felix?
00:03:39- Maybe 8:00.
00:03:41No, no. closer to 9:00.
00:03:47Please cover her up.
00:03:50[weeps] - Did your daughter mention getting treatment for her finger?
00:03:56- She said-- yes, she was going to a hospital or a clinic.
00:04:00- Could it be somewhere close to her work?
00:04:04- She said it was the only place around where you don't need insurance.
00:04:14- She was x-rayedfor a broken finger.
00:04:16A splint was applied.
00:04:18- And here's rachel melhan here on the same night she was killed.
00:04:21In at 10:20, released at 11:05.
00:04:24Face lac, stitches.
00:04:26- Are you here about those girls?
00:04:29I was on duty that night.
00:04:30I thought I should talk to you.
00:04:32- Yes, I'm detective nichols. detective stevens.
00:04:34- I'm maya sills.
00:04:35I'm one of the nurse's aides.
00:04:37- You helped these girls?
00:04:39- Yeah, well, the one who was here on tuesday night.
00:04:42- Rachel melhan?
00:04:43- Right. that's right. rachel.
00:04:45 we have so many people come through here, it's hard to keep track.
00:04:49Um, she had a cut on her face, a fight with her boyfriend.
00:04:53I actually talked to her.
00:04:54- And the other girl, isabel felix?
00:04:56- She went to the nurse on duty.
00:05:04- Maya--and, maya, who was that nurse on duty?
00:05:08- We'll be speaking to everyone who works here, maya.
00:05:11- Maya, if you have information, now's the time.
00:05:15..
00:05:18There's politics around here.
00:05:20I want to know that I'm safe.
00:05:23- Then tell us who treated isabel.
00:05:30- His name is randall ames.
00:05:32He's a night nurse.
00:05:34He has a reputation.
00:05:36- What kind of reputation?
00:05:37- For liking young girls.
00:05:39- Did he like rachel melhan and isabel felix?
00:05:43- Rachel actually complained to me.
00:05:46He wouldn't leave her alone.
00:05:50- Someone told you I came on to rachel melhan?
00:05:54Who? - we're asking the questions.
00:05:56- I know who.
00:05:58Maya hasn't exactly been my biggest fan since we broke up.
00:06:02- You dated maya sills?
00:06:03- For a couple months.
00:06:05Girl's a head case.
00:06:07I treated her great, took her to nice restaurants, but one day to the next, .. "lose my number." - another guy?
00:06:17- So let's shift to rachel melhan.
00:06:19- Did you come onto her?
00:06:20- I offered to walk her home.
00:06:23It's a crappy neighborhood.
00:06:24- Just being a gentleman?
00:06:26- Maya left with rachel, not me.
00:06:30I was on the overnight shift both nights those girls were here.
00:06:33You can check the timecards. - we will.
00:06:35 you'll see who's lying.
00:06:47- Our boy randall didn't lie.
00:06:50 okay, so now I'm kind of interested in what he wouldn't tell us.
00:06:54- You mean, the guy maya ditched him for.
00:06:56- Mm-hmm.
00:06:57Uh, I got the feeling that randall knows him, so maybe it's somebody who comes around or works there.
00:07:03People come, they go.
00:07:05The real thing lacks the pace ofe.r.
00:07:08- You may want to take a look at this.
00:07:09I've got a fireman here who rivals george clooney.
00:07:12And he's talking to maya.
00:07:14- Oh, here we go. here we go.
00:07:17And look at the date.
00:07:18That's last night, the date that isabel felix was murdered.
00:07:25- Everybody in the houseis talking.
00:07:27Terrible about those girls.
00:07:29You guys close to this whack job?
00:07:31- Well, it's an ongoing investigation, so we're really not at-- - sorry. I got it.
00:07:34- Your girlfriend, mr. kerrigan.
00:07:36She was on duty the nights in question?
00:07:38- Yeah, she was there.
00:07:39It's got her scared.
00:07:40- She's talked about randall ames, I guess.
00:07:43- She can't stand him.
00:07:44- Why's that?
00:07:45- He's a creep.
00:07:46You're a woman. what do you think?
00:07:48- Did she ever say he threatened her or anything?
00:07:52- No, but I knew they went out.
00:07:54They dated, and she didn't want to talk about it.
00:07:56That tells me something.
00:07:57And the guy is still obsessed with her.
00:07:59- We heard that maya went home with one of the victims.
00:08:03Did she mention that?
00:08:05- Not possible.
00:08:06She was with me after her shifts.
00:08:08We were together. - both nights?
00:08:10- Yeah. - where was that exactly?
00:08:13- Where?
00:08:14One night's at my place, one night I was with him.
00:08:18Hey, uncle joe.
00:08:19Me and maya were at amy's birthday party, right?
00:08:21- Yeah, sure.
00:08:25- Okay?
00:08:29- Sure. thank you so much.
00:08:35- I'm thinking he's lying.
00:08:36- Puffed-up macho pride.
00:08:37Thinks nothing can touch him.
00:08:38- Just wished he hadn't made this career choice.
00:08:42- What about it?
00:08:42- Well, a person of interest?
00:08:44His entire family is fdny.
00:08:46Do you know the politics on that?
00:08:47- We can put him at the hospital with access to the victims.
00:08:50- Because of access to the girlfriend?
00:08:52 - so, wait, the guy meets his girlfriend and still manages to kill two women?
00:08:56That's hard to swing on the average date.
00:08:59My big question-- who is this maya?

00:13:51- maya was a ward of the state by age 13.
00:13:52Her father died suddenly and left her alone, no relatives, in and out of foster care.
00:13:56- Yeah, there's no mother in the picture.
00:13:59Nobody to tell us who she was or is.
00:14:02- Daddy's little girl.
00:14:04They lived in queens.
00:14:05Here's tax returns.
00:14:07- He was a machinist who gave archery lessons.
00:14:10That's not something you hear every day.
00:14:12So everything was a deduction.
00:14:13The hunting gear, equipment, licenses, membership in bow hunting clubs.
00:14:19And here, a bow hunter's license for maya when she was just ten.
00:14:22- Well, if he gave lessons, there could be former students out there.
00:14:25 members of one of these small niche clubs.
00:14:30- They belonged to a group of weekend hunters in jefferson county.
00:14:34Their club sponsor took this at a bow hunter rendezvous upstate.
00:14:37He's got more photos.
00:14:38He'll dig 'em out and send 'em.
00:14:40- That's good. look at the look on her face.
00:14:43Looks like maya liked this.
00:14:44- Uh-huh. - and what's she holding?
00:14:46Is it poultry shears or?
00:14:48- For dressing that deer.
00:14:49Hunters call 'em game shears, by the way.
00:14:52- They do?
00:14:52- We knew what to get dad for christmas.
00:14:58You check the father's records?
00:15:00Federal and state?
00:15:01- Yeah, a single 1992 arrest for soliciting a prostitute.
00:15:06So he kills, and she helps clean.
00:15:08You know, in a darker variation, she could be repeating that whole dynamic.
00:15:13Damon and her father have similarities, don't they?
00:15:15They're both working class and physical, have issues with sex.
00:15:22Damon had a felony rape charge in 1999.
00:15:24The victim was drugged, tied up, raped, and sodomized.
00:15:28- No conviction? - no.
00:15:29The girl withdrew her testimony, and the case fell apart.
00:15:31But damon's uncle joe is listed as a witness for his defense.
00:15:36[scrubbing] - I keep seeing her face.
00:15:45- It's late.
00:15:46Come back to bed.
00:15:48- She's out wandering, damon.
00:15:51- Baby, you need to sleep.
00:15:52- You wanted to leave with her, didn't you?
00:15:54- What?
00:15:55- She was supposed to be our first, and you let her go.
00:16:00Did you love her?
00:16:07- No.
00:16:08I just wasn't ready.
00:16:10But I love you.
00:16:14Haven't I proven that?
00:16:15- Tell me we're bonded.
00:16:17Tell me nothing will tear us apart.
00:16:23- We're bonded.
00:16:26Now come back to bed. - finish it.
00:16:29- She was months ago.
00:16:32- Finish it.
00:16:35[scrubbing] - He was just a kid.
00:16:39And those charges against him were just a hummer.
00:16:42She took everything back.
00:16:43- With your persuasion.
00:16:44 you couldn't let her tarnish the reputation of your family or this firehouse.
00:16:49- I resent that.
00:16:50Damon was young, he made a bad choice in girls, and he moved on.
00:16:54Now he's top-notch.
00:16:55He's gonna make captain some day.
00:16:56- But you still have to cover for him.
00:16:57- Beg your pardon? - last time we were here.
00:17:00Damon wasn't at amy's birthday.
00:17:02Your sister lives in garden city.
00:17:04He picked up maya at 11:30.
00:17:05.. and geography.
00:17:08- So?
00:17:09He was with maya.
00:17:11Ask her.
00:17:12Who knows where she took him?
00:17:13- I'm guessing you're no fan of hers.
00:17:15- She calls his cell 20 times a day.
00:17:17And she keeps him away from his family.
00:17:20Look, I'm old school.
00:17:21I don't think a woman should have that kind of hold on a guy.
00:17:24- Or a guy shouldn't have that kind of hold on a woman.
00:17:28- Look, you believe what you want to believe, but my nephew is no killer.
00:17:39- A man drowning in a sea of denial.
00:17:41- Mm. it's biological.
00:17:43Protecting your own.
00:17:45- So if damon is the predator here, what is maya?
00:17:48- Well, these cases have fascinated forensic shrinks.
00:17:51Now the man is a sexual predator.
00:17:53There's little or no sexual component for the woman.
00:17:56- But some women dedicate their lives just to making their man feel superior.
00:18:00 maya has markers of a borderline personality.
00:18:05- I need help in the realm of psychiatric trade talk.
00:18:08- Oh, borderlines are dominated by an overwhelming fear of abandonment.
00:18:12They're needy, desperate to belong.
00:18:14- All of which makes her the moon and the stars for a narcissistic jerk like damon.
00:18:18- Yes, in the trade, it's known as the dovetailing of neuroses.
00:18:21These couples, they don't start with murder.
00:18:23They build to it.
00:18:24- That gets me thinking that maybe there's a near-miss, someone who didn't actually get killed.
00:18:30- Let's check a person with strong opinions of maya.
00:18:34Let's see what he feels about damon.
00:18:38- You say you warned her about damon kerrigan?
00:18:39- Yeah, but she just thought I was trying to get back with her.
00:18:43- Mm. and you weren't?
00:18:46- It was good with maya, but no matter how I reassured her, she always freaked out that I was gonna leave her.
00:18:52- Then damon appeared, and she left you.
00:18:55- It wasn't quite that simple.
00:18:57Damon was seeing another nurse's aide.
00:18:59- And maya knew that? - yeah.
00:19:03Maya used to steal drugs for her.
00:19:04The two were friends. maybe more.
00:19:06- More? wait, what more?
00:19:08- There was talk that she, damon, and maya were, you know, doing three-ways.
00:19:16Then five months back, janine just up and left.
00:19:22- Janine. what's her whole name?
00:19:24- Janine lutz. - mm-hmm.
00:19:27- My friend in human resources says maya's still trying to reach her, but they don't have her current address.
00:19:40- Did you find janine lutz?
00:19:41- I'm finally learning to use our database.
00:19:44I did better than that.
00:19:45Janine filed a civil action against damon kerrigan and maya sills.
00:19:49- A 90-day restraining order to keep them away from her person.
00:19:52Getting a judge to issue this means something really scared her.
00:19:54, but was turned down.
00:19:58After that, she moved.
00:19:59We're actively looking for her.
00:20:03- The union came through with an address on staten island.
00:20:11What?
00:20:14Second thoughts?
00:20:17- Let it go.
00:20:19You're being paranoid.
00:20:20- You let her get away.
00:20:22- Once!
00:20:23It never happened again.
00:20:28Now let it go.
00:20:42- I put all my faith in you.
00:20:56You gave me a life, damon.
00:21:01You made me part of something only we can share.
00:21:08..
00:21:16Come here.
00:21:32Don't I give you everything?
00:22:24- I stalked her.
00:22:27And now she's yours.
00:22:38- Oh, thank you. - hey, buddy.
00:22:50 we got a report of a gas leak.
00:22:54WE NEED TO CHECK IT OUT. [beep] Thank you.
00:23:04[accented] FIRE DEPARTMENT.
00:23:05We need you to open up the door.
00:23:09There's a gas leak in the building.
00:23:11You need to evacuate the premises.
00:23:13It could be dangerous.
00:23:16- [screams] - Hey, janine.
00:23:20[overlapping shouts] - On the ground.
00:23:24Get on the ground.
00:23:26[siren] [tires screech] - Police! don't move!
00:23:31- Get out of the car. - ah!
00:23:33- On the hood.
00:23:36- Ow!
00:23:37- Maya sills, you're under arrest.
00:23:45- [sobs] - So he's got nothing to say?
00:28:09- I haven't heard any charges worth addressing.
00:28:11- For starters, there's aggravated rape.
00:28:13Maybe kidnapping.
00:28:14- From janine lutz.
00:28:15With her history of substance abuse?
00:28:17She's a better witness for me than for you.
00:28:22- A makeable case only comes with maya on our team.
00:28:25- With maya on our team?
00:28:26 - she's as guilty as he is.
00:28:29- But she looks like an angel.
00:28:30Jurors could look at her and see innocence.
00:28:33I want loaded dice.
00:28:34Maya gets a deal, damon goes away, everyone's happy.
00:28:37- But that's not your call, counselor.
00:28:39I'm not saying it won't end up there, but the case is still ours.
00:28:42- You really want to take a stand on that attitude?
00:28:43- On basic procedure? you bet I do.
00:28:47What matters are the rules, which haven't changed since you sweated exams at law school.
00:28:51Now when the case is suitable for prosecution, you'll get it, not before.
00:29:02's office, can we make a case they can win?
00:29:08- Good place to start seems like maya.
00:29:13- I'll do whatever I have to do.
00:29:17He used and he betrayed me.
00:29:23I won't be safe until he's put away.
00:29:29- Which is why we're here, maya.
00:29:38- You see this?
00:29:39He would tie me up and make me do things.
00:29:46Sexual things.
00:29:49..
00:29:55I was so scared.
00:30:00He beat me up.
00:30:04It excited him, ..
00:30:08..
00:30:11- Let's talk about the others.
00:30:12Rachel melhan and isabel felix.
00:30:16People will think you facilitated that.
00:30:20- He picked whoever he wanted.
00:30:23I brought them home.
00:30:25But I never stayed.
00:30:29I know I should have gone to the police, but I thought he would kill me.
00:30:36I never came back home until he was done.
00:30:39- To clean and dress them?
00:30:44- He made me do that.
00:30:48He said all women were dirty whores who had to be punished and then cleaned.
00:31:00 she lays out perfect accomplice testimony.
00:31:03- Mm-hmm. self-serving lies.
00:31:05But the betrayal, that part sounded real.
00:31:08- Well, when damon let janine lutz get away, it aroused maya's fear of abandonment.
00:31:13And that would have been the stressor to make maya push damon to the next step.
00:31:22- There was some consensual sex.
00:31:26- With damon?
00:31:27- With both of them, okay?
00:31:30Then one night, it got really weird.
00:31:33Like they'd made some kind of pact before I got there.
00:31:39I was really wasted.
00:31:40I don't know what they gave me, but I didn't like it.
00:31:45In the bedroom with damon, I got scared.
00:31:49Really scared.
00:31:51I wanted to go. he got really rough.
00:31:55- And where was maya?
00:31:59- I think--i think she was there watching us.
00:32:03When he spoke to her, he didn't call her by name.
00:32:07He called her diana.
00:32:11[laughs] When I was almost out, ..
00:32:28" I know that was maya.
00:32:39Please.
00:32:43Make them pay.
00:32:51- Oh, I believe janine lutz, but she only supports a rape charge.
00:32:55And at this point, maya is still the only one who can give us a murder.
00:32:59- Maya sills is a monster, and she could make some deal that let's her walk.
00:33:02 and I'm guessing she knows that.
00:33:06 you know, I was hoping that by leaving internal affairs, I would catch a break on moral dilemmas.
00:33:13- Give us some time with maya.
00:33:14It's what we do. trust us.
00:33:16- And if it goes bad, they'll be back in here to take my name off that door.
00:33:19- So you don't want to risk it?
00:33:22- No.
00:33:26But do it.
00:33:34- What's in there? - oh.
00:33:36Well, we'll get to that in a minute.
00:33:38First, let's start with damon.
00:33:42What drew you to him?
00:33:46- Come on. that's obvious.
00:33:47He's very attractive.
00:33:50I'm sure all the girls at the hospital had eyes for him.
00:33:53- They did.
00:33:56It made me feel special.
00:33:58- But he only wanted you.
00:34:00- This should be about him, not me.
00:34:03- Well, understanding how he worked you, that could really help us.
00:34:12- The first few months were great.
00:34:16Our own little world.
00:34:17- But shared with janine.
00:34:21 he was just using her.
00:34:23- Yeah, but he was also using you.
00:34:32- I know it's strange, but when I devote myself to someone, it's very hard to break that bond.
00:34:44Maybe that's my flaw.
00:34:46- [chuckling] I DON'T THINK THAT'S YOUR FLAW.
00:34:48No, that's what you know.
00:34:50You know, you were devoted to your father.
00:35:08- My mother abandoned us.
00:35:11All we had was each other.
00:35:15My first whitetail.
00:35:17- Let me see.
00:35:18Let me see. oh.
00:35:21Hey, that's a beauty.
00:35:25Gee, how do you-- how do you hunt an animal like that?
00:35:32- Oh, I must have been eight or nine hours, ..
00:35:45The animals know.
00:35:48- Huh.
00:35:50- I saw it in those big eyes.
00:35:53She knew, and she just stood there.
00:35:57I didn't move.
00:36:00I didn't breathe.
00:36:03And with sheer will, I held her in for my father.
00:36:10I'd never seen him so proud before.
00:36:12- Well, his little girl was growing up.
00:36:15- And when the arrow hit and she went down, he told me to go whisper in her ear, " - you whispered that to all of them.
00:36:34- What?
00:36:36- We were trying to understand things, diana.
00:36:41- Yeah.
00:36:42- That's what your father called you.
00:36:44 he wrote it on this-- on this christmas card.
00:36:50Me and my little diana, goddess of the hunt.
00:36:59- He called me that sometimes. so what?
00:37:04- Janine claims damon calls you diana.
00:37:06- Well, janine lutz is a dope fiend.
00:37:08They can discredit that kind of girl.
00:37:10- You mean, the kind of girl your father liked?
00:37:13A prostitute.
00:37:14- Those whores.
00:37:16Diseased and disgusting.
00:37:17He'd be alive now if it wasn't for them.
00:37:21- Your father died of a heart attack.
00:37:23- Their disease destroyed him.
00:37:26He was all I had, and they took him away.
00:37:32- So when he said he'd never leave you, he lied.
00:37:35He betrayed you.
00:37:38- Like damon.
00:37:38He let janine go. did that break the bond?
00:37:46- We weren't bonded then.
00:37:48- It was the things you shared, the others, that bonded you.
00:37:54- Like the deer. you held your gaze.
00:37:56Neither damon nor your father could have done that.
00:37:58- They both knew I'd do anything for them.
00:38:04I proved that.
00:38:05- By finding them prey.
00:38:06- And moving so stealthily the prey had no fear.
00:38:10Rachel melhan and isabel felix.
00:38:22- They liked me.
00:38:25I saw the trust in their eyes.
00:38:29It was like the deer.
00:38:31- And when it was over, did you whisper in their ear the words that your father told you to say?
00:38:42- Now you know who killed you.
00:38:58Anything else?
00:39:01- I think we're finished.
00:39:05- Yeah. we're finished.

00:43:21- Hi.
00:43:21Mike faber.
00:43:22So you know who my father is, right?
00:43:24I really, really hate that guy.
00:43:26He's a prick, he's a bully, and somehow I turned into him.
00:43:30I'm gonna be out your way in a few weeks and I was just wondering if maybe you and i could get together.
00:43:36- Listen, faber, it's really sweet.
00:43:37Your timing just stinks.
00:43:39- Boy can dream.
00:43:41- See you, kitten.
00:43:47- It's making national headlines.
00:43:49Foreclosures are still climbing and stockton has the worst rates in the nation for the-- - stockton had a lot of people overextending themselves and buying houses they couldn't afford with risky loans.
00:43:58- All of california is really suffering and you see problems across the board-- - this is opportunity for some people.
00:44:04Is now the time to jump in?
00:44:05- If you've been sitting on cash, there's probably never been a better time to buy.
00:44:14- You okay?
00:44:15- Mm-hmm.
00:44:16- What?
00:44:17- Nothing.
00:44:17Just I love you is all.
00:44:20- You are everything to me.
00:44:22Never forget that.
00:44:25Let's get to work.
00:44:42- From phony bankruptcies and foreclosure schemes to bogus applications and builder kickbacks and no corner of the nation was untouched as scammers coast to coast sought to cash in on an overheated real estate market.
00:44:56- Good.
00:44:57These are good.
00:44:59I'll need a county recorder stamp though, and a state seal.
00:45:03Can you get those?
00:45:16Congratulations.
00:45:17It's all yours.
00:45:18- Thank you, natalie, for everything.
00:45:21- You're gonna be very happy here.
00:45:23Call if you need anything.
00:45:29- There is some hope that this financial fraud will level off, but the fbi says it sees no sign of that yet.
00:45:37- What's going on, officer?
00:45:46Wait.
00:45:46So we don't own the house?
00:45:49But what about our money?
00:46:23- Here you go, val.
00:46:24- I don't know what we would do without her.
00:46:28- No, val, it's all him.
00:46:31I just do the grunt work.
00:46:32- I'm sure that's what he tells you.
00:46:37You're short.
00:46:45- It's my fault.
00:46:47There were expenses.
00:46:49The bankers we're using want a bigger cut.
00:46:51- Your expenses are not my problem.
00:46:54- Val, we've got another eight buyers on the hook.
00:46:57A new development just went under on the county line.
00:47:00It's just sitting there, waiting.
00:47:03- [snaps fingers] - [grunts] - Which finger do you want to lose?
00:47:10- [speaks indistinctly] - Hmm?
00:47:13Thumb?
00:47:13- No.
00:47:14- Not the thumb.
00:47:14Too important.
00:47:17How about pinky?
00:47:18Who would miss a pinky?
00:47:20Hmm?
00:47:21You pick.
00:47:23Go on.
00:47:23Which finger does your boyfriend lose?
00:47:26- Val, please, okay?
00:47:28We'll get the money.
00:47:28You'll have it.
00:47:29All of it.
00:47:30I swear.
00:47:32- She swears.
00:47:34Pinky swear.
00:47:35You swear that they get my money?
00:47:36- I swear they will.
00:47:37- You think you need ten fingers to do that?
00:47:41- [whispers indistinctly] - Ah!
00:47:45- [breathing heavily] [laughter] - You all right?
00:48:05- Yeah, I'm fine.
00:48:07Just we have to do this faster.
00:48:08- We will.
00:48:08We will, okay?
00:48:09Everything's gonna be okay.
00:48:10- No, I know.
00:48:11I know.
00:48:11Just please.
00:48:11It's got to be now, okay?
00:48:14Come on.
00:48:15- We have to speed up the next house.
00:48:29- What's this?
00:48:30- Just a standard disclosure agreement.
00:48:37Okay.
00:48:39That's it.
00:48:40You're now homeowners.
00:48:41Congratulations.
00:48:43- Fbi.
00:48:43You're under arrest.
00:48:55[handcuffs clicking] - I was married once a long time ago, which is not something a lot of people know.
00:49:11I was 17.
00:49:11He was 22.
00:49:13His name was mark, and it lasted 36 hours.
00:49:19And here's the part I can't believe, that I was once someone who dove headfirst into one of the biggest decisions you can make in your life, because now if a guy says, " it sets off a four-day debate in my head.
00:49:32Yes, no, maybe?
00:49:34Does it have to be a drink?
00:49:36By which point, the guy has moved on to someone both sane and thirsty.
00:49:40- Fbi just snagged a big fish.
00:49:42Natalie vickers, key player and co-conspirator, interstate mortgage scam.
00:49:46- Oh, interstate mortgages?
00:49:48That gets me seriously hot.
00:49:50Say it again, slower.
00:49:51- Money going in and out is russian mob.
00:49:54- Oh.
00:49:55- Slight jolt of interest.
00:49:56- So where's the whiny little fbi drone who's come crawling to us for help?
00:50:01- Hello, kitten.
00:50:04Coffee?
00:50:09- [sighs] Since 1970, the federal witness protection program has relocated thousands of witnesses, some criminal, some not, to neighborhoods all across the country.
00:50:19Every one of those individuals shares a unique attribute distinguishing them from the rest of the general population.
00:50:25And that is somebody wants them dead.
00:50:29[bluesy rock] ♪♪ ♪♪
00:53:14- we need to know exactly how you got natalie here.
00:53:18- Really?
00:53:18Not even a "how you doing, faber"?
00:53:19- The route you took, ..
00:53:21- I've been fine.
00:53:22- The names of all the local, state, federal contacts who are involved.
00:53:24- Took up tennis again.
00:53:25Yeah, my forehand shot.
00:53:28- Left you a few messages.
00:53:29- And anyone who assisted you.
00:53:30- You didn't call me back.
00:53:31See, the last one was actually business.
00:53:33This.
00:53:33- [sighs] - The others were non-business.
00:53:37- Let's stick to business.
00:53:38- You mad at me?
00:53:39- Mad at you?
00:53:40[scoffs] What is this, homeroom?
00:53:41- I don't know.
00:53:42You seem-- - like me.
00:53:43I seem like me.
00:53:45Beginning, middle, and end of story.
00:53:46So let's get back to it, okay?
00:53:48I'll need a complete file.
00:53:49All the charges pending, the deal she cut with the bureau, all known associates' friends, family, all cities lived in and visited.
00:53:54Thank you.
00:53:55- I recall your deep need for full disclosure.
00:53:59And that you come with a one-man entourage.
00:54:01Marshall.
00:54:01- Agent faber, welcome to albuquerque.
00:54:03- Thanks.
00:54:04So you want to meet your new witness?
00:54:09- No living relatives?
00:54:10- No.
00:54:11- No cousins, no aunts, no uncles?
00:54:12- Never met my dad, mom died when I was 6, foster homes ..
00:54:17Then what?
00:54:19- I figured out how to live on my own.
00:54:21- Yeah, you sure did.
00:54:22Check fraud, grand theft, forgery.
00:54:24Just couldn't squeeze in murder or prostitution?
00:54:27- Maybe she's going alphabetically.
00:54:28Let's not dwell on what was or what might have been unless it's crucial to her protection.
00:54:34- Thanks.
00:54:35Ever been married?
00:54:36- Never.
00:54:37You?
00:54:37- Fiance?
00:54:38- No.
00:54:39- Boyfriend?
00:54:39- Is this important?
00:54:41- Very.
00:54:42We need a full picture of people from your old life you need to avoid.
00:54:44- Well, that would mainly be the russian mob boss who'd like to cut my head off and feed it to his mastiff, right?
00:54:49- Right, and anyone who could lead him to you.
00:54:51So current boyfriend?
00:54:51- Nope.
00:54:53- We booked you a room at hessie's motel.
00:54:56Walking distance to two all-night diners and several museums.
00:55:02- Any questions so far?
00:55:04- No, sounds good.
00:55:04Where do I sign?
00:55:12- [sighs] Thoughts, questions, comments?
00:55:17Hello?
00:55:18Long, detailed editorials?

00:55:39It's fine. go.
00:55:41- You sure?
00:55:42- Yes, marshall.
00:55:43Look, whatever stupid little nora ephron comedy you have playing in your head about me and faber's snappy workplace love connection, you can-- - it was less nora ephron and more leni riefenstahl.
00:55:53- Okay, whatever.
00:55:54Just hit the off switch.
00:55:55- Well, this is where normal people say, "good-bye. I'll call you.
00:55:59" - you owe me $9 for lunch last week, so don't get shot and die.
00:56:05- I'll do my best.

00:56:14Don't drop the ball.
00:56:16?
00:56:17- Yep.
00:56:19- That was fast.
00:56:19- Too fast.
00:56:20- Not a lot of questions?
00:56:22- Not a one.
00:56:23- Huh.
00:56:23- Who's the douchebag with the stupid haircut?
00:56:25- Oh, that's faber's boss ike dennis.
00:56:29His case.
00:56:29Likes to repeat the phrase, " a lot.

00:56:46- Hmm.
00:56:48- So local calls are free.
00:56:49Heat and air is over on the wall by the counter.

00:58:07Your witness.
00:58:07- How so?
00:58:08- She has no curiosity about her new life, really?
00:58:11No problems?
00:58:11No questions?
00:58:12Let me tell you something.
00:58:13No questions is worse than too many.
00:58:15- Meaning?
00:58:15- She's hiding something.
00:58:17- Well, like most witnesses who flip.
00:58:18The thing is to get 'em to tell the truth about what we need.
00:58:21- What you need.
00:58:22I don't give a crap if she lies all day, every day, till the day she drops, just not to me, and not about anything that matters.
00:58:29- Okay, look.
00:58:31Got to prep for tomorrow.
00:58:31We're gonna be in the same office.
00:58:33You got to eat.
00:58:34I'm ordering from a place I saw on chowhound " - no, no, no, no.
00:58:37That place is the worst.
00:58:38- Big beef!
00:58:38- No. no! no!
00:58:39If you want ribs, you call rudy's.
00:58:41- All right.
00:58:42- God.
00:58:46- So they start with a neighborhood wiped out by the subprime mess.
00:58:50Break into an abandoned house.
00:58:51They sell it to somebody at a too-good-to-be-true price.
00:58:54Too-good-to-be-true meaning new owner doesn't actually own anything.
00:58:57Down payment?
00:58:58Pfft.
00:58:59Long gone.
00:59:01This is the top guy.
00:59:04Valentine nincic.
00:59:05Puts up the money for manpower, cleanup, takes 60% in exchange.
00:59:09You cheat him and he kills you, which is the part he'd do for free.
00:59:14He was arrested last week based on info we got from natalie.
00:59:17He's currently being held in stockton county with about a dozen of his closest associates.
00:59:20And here's where it gets good.
00:59:21[cell phone trilling] 17 Local bankers.
00:59:26Forget the mob guys.
00:59:27People love when we get the bankers, boy.
00:59:29- Hang on.
00:59:30Natalie, it's me checking in.
00:59:32Call me back.
00:59:35So natalie's-- - she's the number one worker bee.
00:59:37She's the direct link between the mob guys and the banker guys.
00:59:40And she'll be the star witness at trial.
00:59:43- So she's pretty much our whole case?
00:59:45- Pretty much.
