1. In the criminal justice system,
Copy !req
2. sexually based offenses
Copy !req
3. are considered especially heinous.
Copy !req
4. In New York City, the
dedicated detectives
Copy !req
5. who investigate these vicious felonies
Copy !req
6. are members of an elite squad
Copy !req
7. known as the Special Victims Unit.
Copy !req
8. These are their stories.
Copy !req
9. Charlie?
Copy !req
10. Mommy...
Copy !req
11. - Mommy...
- Charlie.
Copy !req
12. By yourself, little man?
Copy !req
13. Madre De dios!
Copy !req
14. Help! Help!
Copy !req
15. Someone help!
Copy !req
16. - You SVU?
Copy !req
17. - Lieutenant Benson.
- Sergeant Tutuola.
Copy !req
18. Who the hell stabs a kid?
Copy !req
19. Top of my head? The devil.
Copy !req
20. Okay, how old is he?
Copy !req
21. Five... six. Knife wound to the belly.
Copy !req
22. Ambulance took him to Saint Vincent's.
Copy !req
23. Name's Charlie Mill.
Copy !req
24. He was wandering down
the street bleeding.
Copy !req
25. Neighbor's maid spotted him.
Copy !req
26. - He live around here?
- That one. Door's open.
Copy !req
27. Okay, the rest of the family inside?
Copy !req
28. Yes and no.
Copy !req
29. I was gonna get this bed
for Noah for Christmas.
Copy !req
30. Oh, Jesus.
Copy !req
31. Doesn't get much more brutal than this.
Copy !req
32. I figure he's been like this
no more than two hours.
Copy !req
33. Son, daughter, daddy.
Copy !req
34. Let's just hope there's no mommy.
Copy !req
35. We're probably looking
at a 7-inch blade.
Copy !req
36. The father and the daughter were stabbed
Copy !req
37. 12 and 3 times respectively...
the boy, twice.
Copy !req
38. None of them had defensive wounds.
Copy !req
39. So they were killed while they slept?
Copy !req
40. Yeah.
Copy !req
41. Okay, you find anything
else you'll let us know?
Copy !req
42. I will. Okay.
Copy !req
43. So there's no sign of forced entry.
Copy !req
44. Coffee's on in the kitchen,
empty cereal bowl.
Copy !req
45. Just another day.
Copy !req
46. Yeah, until it wasn't.
Copy !req
47. The mother is Anna Mill. She
works for a law firm...
Copy !req
48. Schwartz, Medley, and Clark.
Copy !req
49. Neighbor said she
leaves around 8:00 a.m.
Copy !req
50. Hey, Rollins. What's up?
Copy !req
51. Charlie didn't make it.
Copy !req
52. Okay. This is not the kind of thing
Copy !req
53. that a mother should hear on the phone.
Copy !req
54. I'll tell her.
Copy !req
55. They said not to disturb them.
Copy !req
56. They're under a lot
of pressure right now
Copy !req
57. - prepping for an IRS audit.
- Is this them?
Copy !req
58. - Yes.
- On my desk...
Copy !req
59. - Can I help you?
- I tried to stop him.
Copy !req
60. NYPD. I need to speak to Anna Mill.
Copy !req
61. Unless this is life or death...
Copy !req
62. Unfortunately, it is.
Copy !req
63. What is it?
Copy !req
64. Maybe we should do this in private.
Copy !req
65. All of them?
Copy !req
66. I am so sorry.
Copy !req
67. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
68. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
69. All right.
Copy !req
70. Charlie has a soccer
game this afternoon.
Copy !req
71. I should call, Coach...
Copy !req
72. Mrs. Mill.
Copy !req
73. Um...
Copy !req
74. there's no evidence that
your home was robbed.
Copy !req
75. What are you saying?
Copy !req
76. You mean somebody wanted...
Copy !req
77. That's... that's what
we're thinking now.
Copy !req
78. Did... did anybody have a grudge...
Copy !req
79. My children are dead.
Copy !req
80. What kind of a grudge
Copy !req
81. would cause somebody
to kill my children?
Copy !req
82. Maybe it's possible your
husband had an enemy?
Copy !req
83. Maybe a coworker?
Copy !req
84. No, he... he works alone.
He... he's a writer.
Copy !req
85. So... so Julian did work
mainly from your home?
Copy !req
86. Yes, he's... he would pick up
the kids from school every day
Copy !req
87. and he would make dinner.
Copy !req
88. He'd tuck them in at night.
Copy !req
89. Everyone said Rachel
looked just like me.
Copy !req
90. She was much prettier.
Copy !req
91. Smarter.
Copy !req
92. Um...
Copy !req
93. did anyone have a key to your home?
Copy !req
94. Just Dolores.
Copy !req
95. Who is Dolores?
Copy !req
96. Dolores Alvarez. She's our nanny.
Copy !req
97. She's been with us for almost ten years.
Copy !req
98. She works every day but Sunday.
Copy !req
99. So she was supposed to work today?
Copy !req
100. Have you heard from her this morning?
Copy !req
101. No.
Copy !req
102. But she's like... she's like family.
Copy !req
103. I mean, she wouldn't...
she wouldn't hurt any...
Copy !req
104. - NYPD!
Copy !req
105. All I know is my mom raised four kids.
Copy !req
106. We didn't have a nanny.
Copy !req
107. It's hard raising kids
while you're working.
Copy !req
108. Looks like a happy
family, minus the mom.
Copy !req
109. It doesn't look like Dolores
stays around here too much.
Copy !req
110. Hey, look at this.
Copy !req
111. Um...
Copy !req
112. "Today I took the kids to
hippo park with Julian.
Copy !req
113. "They love the dad but
they need their mama.
Copy !req
114. Anna doesn't know what
a sweet man she has."
Copy !req
115. Hey, Carisi. Check this out.
Copy !req
116. Just out the wash and still wet.
Copy !req
117. Yeah. So is this.
Copy !req
118. I wanna know what you
know about Dolores.
Copy !req
119. - She's the Mills' nanny.
- Right.
Copy !req
120. She's a good person.
Copy !req
121. She loved those babies. She was...
she was happy.
Copy !req
122. 'Kay.
Copy !req
123. Do you know if she has any family here?
Copy !req
124. You think she killed them.
Copy !req
125. No, um...
Copy !req
126. The truth is, we can't find her.
Copy !req
127. You know, whoever did do this,
they could have hurt her too.
Copy !req
128. Anything you can tell me could help.
Copy !req
129. She has a brother.
Copy !req
130. - Emilio.
- Okay.
Copy !req
131. He lives in the Bronx, too.
Copy !req
132. Dolores usually spends
her day off with him.
Copy !req
133. - I got a green card.
- And we're happy for you.
Copy !req
134. We're more concerned with your sister.
Copy !req
135. Right, blame the brown people.
Copy !req
136. Look who you're talking to, dude.
Copy !req
137. Listen, is she here or not?
Copy !req
138. - No.
- Then I'm sure you won't mind
Copy !req
139. us looking around, right?
Copy !req
140. You work, Emilio?
Copy !req
141. I'm a mechanic. At the Midas Muffler.
Copy !req
142. Late start. On at noon.
Copy !req
143. On at noon, huh?
Copy !req
144. When was the last time
you spoke to Dolores?
Copy !req
145. - I don't know.
- You don't know?
Copy !req
146. What's going on back here, Emilio?
Copy !req
147. Nothing. I... I said, "nothing."
Copy !req
148. I don't think so.
Copy !req
149. She didn't do nothing! Don't hurt her.
Copy !req
150. Dolores Alvarez, you're under arrest
Copy !req
151. for the murder of three people.
Copy !req
152. They were dead when I got there.
Copy !req
153. There was so much blood.
Copy !req
154. You must have been
scared out of your mind.
Copy !req
155. - What did you do?
- I loved them.
Copy !req
156. I know you did, Dolores.
Copy !req
157. Can you tell us what time you...
you got to the Mills' house?
Copy !req
158. At 8:30, like always.
Copy !req
159. - Was the door open?
- No, it was locked.
Copy !req
160. - I have a key.
- What'd you do then?
Copy !req
161. I went to the kitchen to make
breakfast for the children.
Copy !req
162. I called out to them.
There was no answer.
Copy !req
163. I thought everybody overslept.
Copy !req
164. So I went upstairs.
Copy !req
165. Who'd you go to first?
Copy !req
166. To Mr. Julian's room.
Copy !req
167. I knocked and then I called his name.
Copy !req
168. Nobody answered.
Copy !req
169. I looked in and saw the blood.
Copy !req
170. I tried to shake him.
Copy !req
171. He didn't move, and then I
thought about the children.
Copy !req
172. I went to Rachel's...
Copy !req
173. Did you shake her, too?
Copy !req
174. She didn't move, either.
Copy !req
175. And then I looked into Charlie's room.
Copy !req
176. There was blood everywhere, so I ran.
Copy !req
177. You ran? You didn't touch Charlie?
Copy !req
178. I was frightened.
Copy !req
179. I didn't kill them.
Copy !req
180. Dolores, answer this for me.
Copy !req
181. How did the knife get to your place?
Copy !req
182. It was in Mr. Julian's bed.
Copy !req
183. I don't know why I picked it up.
Copy !req
184. Then I realized...
Copy !req
185. That your fingerprints were all over it?
Copy !req
186. I knew you were going to blame me.
Copy !req
187. I don't know what we're looking for.
Copy !req
188. A reason why a family was murdered.
Copy !req
189. Hi. I got nothing.
Copy !req
190. Blood's still being analyzed,
not that it matters.
Copy !req
191. Carisi, she worked here.
Copy !req
192. She worked for them for ten years.
Copy !req
193. They trusted her. She
didn't just wake up
Copy !req
194. and commit a triple homicide.
Copy !req
195. She did run, Liv.
Copy !req
196. Yes, because she walked
into a blood bath
Copy !req
197. and was scared out of her mind.
Copy !req
198. Okay, the diary.
Copy !req
199. Dolores spent a lot of
time with Mr. Mill.
Copy !req
200. She didn't exactly mind his company.
Copy !req
201. Maybe he got tired of hers.
Copy !req
202. Yeah, maybe they were having
an affair, he calls it off.
Copy !req
203. Wouldn't be the first
home wrecking nanny
Copy !req
204. on the Upper West Side.
Copy !req
205. Talk to the other neighbors.
Copy !req
206. Talk to the other nannies.
Copy !req
207. Charlie was such a good boy.
Copy !req
208. He wouldn't leave the stoop
Copy !req
209. unless Dolores was holding his hand.
Copy !req
210. What about Mr. Mills?
Copy !req
211. Did Dolores ever talk about him?
Copy !req
212. Just to say she'd like to
work with him forever.
Copy !req
213. I saw them at Gristedes once.
Copy !req
214. Julian and Dolores were
arguing over the milk.
Copy !req
215. Non-fat or 2%.
Copy !req
216. They were like an old married couple.
Copy !req
217. It seemed a little... questionable.
Copy !req
218. - People are talking.
- What are they saying?
Copy !req
219. I ain't no gossip.
Copy !req
220. Oh yeah, well, I hate
to burst your bubble,
Copy !req
221. Mavis, but you just did.
Copy !req
222. Jenny tell me she saw
Mr. Mill and Delores
Copy !req
223. at the coffee shop.
Copy !req
224. All right, what were they doing?
Copy !req
225. Drinking coffee, man, in
the middle of the day.
Copy !req
226. Julian isn't like that...
wasn't like that.
Copy !req
227. He's... No, he's... he loves us.
Copy !req
228. He loves our family. Me.
Copy !req
229. Okay.
Copy !req
230. So, we have Delores' diary, and in it...
Copy !req
231. What? So she actually wrote in there
Copy !req
232. - that they slept together?
- No.
Copy !req
233. But she did say that they
spent a lot of time together
Copy !req
234. alone when you were at work.
Copy !req
235. And she implied that she would make
Copy !req
236. a better wife to Julian than you.
Copy !req
237. We know that he loved
you, and we think that...
Copy !req
238. that he told her that.
Copy !req
239. So... so she kills my husband?
Copy !req
240. She kills my children because, what...
he rejected her?
Copy !req
241. God!
Copy !req
242. He didn't even want a nanny. I insisted.
Copy !req
243. I invited her into my home.
Copy !req
244. This is all my fault.
Copy !req
245. - Anna.
- Why didn't I listen?
Copy !req
246. - He could have told me...
- Y-you cannot blame...
Copy !req
247. - You cannot blame yourself.
- Please. Please. Can I go?
Copy !req
248. Yes, of course.
Copy !req
249. Can we have somebody drive you
Copy !req
250. - to your hotel?
- No.
Copy !req
251. - No, thank you.
- I am fine.
Copy !req
252. I'm fine.
Copy !req
253. I don't know how she
gets through the day.
Copy !req
254. I don't either.
Copy !req
255. 'Cause we do. We invite these
strangers into our homes,
Copy !req
256. let them take complete
control of our children.
Copy !req
257. If I went home right now, I don't...
Copy !req
258. I don't think I could leave Noah.
Copy !req
259. We're doing this all wrong, Liv.
Copy !req
260. Hi. Finally got Julian's
voicemail back from TARU.
Copy !req
261. Listen to this.
Copy !req
262. Julian, I'm gonna
kill you for this.
Copy !req
263. You screwed me, pal.
Copy !req
264. It's from a Tom Bernstein.
Copy !req
265. He lives on the Lower East Side.
Copy !req
266. Mr. Bernstein.
Copy !req
267. This can't be happening. I mean, who...
Copy !req
268. It could be someone who Julian,
and I quote, "screwed."
Copy !req
269. You think I killed him?
Copy !req
270. Please, we've been friends for 20 years
Copy !req
271. ever since we both got our
break in the same issue
Copy !req
272. of "New York Quarterly."
Copy !req
273. We both blew our 140 bucks
on beers at the White Horse.
Copy !req
274. The White Horse. What... what is that?
Copy !req
275. It's where Dylan Thomas
drank himself to death.
Copy !req
276. We dreamed of writing our
own lyrical ballads.
Copy !req
277. That's what that phone
message was about.
Copy !req
278. We were supposed to spend three months
Copy !req
279. in the South of France and write.
Copy !req
280. And Julian pulled the plug?
Copy !req
281. More like Anna.
Copy !req
282. She wasn't gonna foot the bill.
Copy !req
283. Yes, I was angry, but
not enough to kill.
Copy !req
284. Why would Anna nix the trip?
Copy !req
285. Julian told me that Anna
let the ski lodge in Vail
Copy !req
286. fall into foreclosure.
Copy !req
287. She was trying to keep
it together around him,
Copy !req
288. but he could tell something was up.
Copy !req
289. Somebody killed them over money?
Copy !req
290. One of the top two
reasons people get dead.
Copy !req
291. I think Mr. Bernstein
was pulling your leg.
Copy !req
292. Anna Mill's got over $3 million
Copy !req
293. - in securities and cash.
- That after paying off
Copy !req
294. - the mortgage on the brownstone.
- Hold on, hold on.
Copy !req
295. So what, we're just gonna
forget about Dolores?
Copy !req
296. I mean, she's in Rikers. I
don't think they're gonna
Copy !req
297. give her the key. Liv wants us to cover
Copy !req
298. - all the bases.
- This is odd.
Copy !req
299. Julian's supposed to be a
writer, right, a poet?
Copy !req
300. - It sounds better than "unemployed."
- Well,
Copy !req
301. he's got a money market
account at Central
Copy !req
302. that's worth over 1.6 million.
Copy !req
303. Must have written a hell of a poem.
Copy !req
304. And it's all from salaries
from a GBT legal services.
Copy !req
305. - What's that?
- Um...
Copy !req
306. Okay, they've been providing
supplemental legal services
Copy !req
307. for major law firms since 2011.
Copy !req
308. Why would they hire a poet?
Copy !req
309. 'Cause they didn't have a choice.
Copy !req
310. Julian was the president
and the sole shareholder.
Copy !req
311. Tell us about the consulting firm GBT.
Copy !req
312. - What's that?
- Supposedly they offer
Copy !req
313. supplemental legal
services for law firms.
Copy !req
314. Why would we need someone
else to service our clients?
Copy !req
315. You tell us... your company
wrote regular checks to 'em.
Copy !req
316. Anna's husband was the president?
Copy !req
317. The bills are all expensed
to Anna's clients.
Copy !req
318. That must have been what red
flagged the firm for the audit.
Copy !req
319. She had to know that that was coming.
Copy !req
320. What do you say we take
a look at her office?
Copy !req
321. I hate to get all legal
on you here, but...
Copy !req
322. considering where we are,
you're gonna need a warrant.
Copy !req
323. So the amounts that
that law firm billed,
Copy !req
324. the clients never noticed that
they were paying expenses
Copy !req
325. - to an outside company.
- That she owned.
Copy !req
326. It was actually her husband's,
Copy !req
327. but I just don't think
he was in on this.
Copy !req
328. Why, because poets don't like money?
Copy !req
329. Okay. Anna's office was
on East 49th Street.
Copy !req
330. The mailbox was on West 121st street.
Copy !req
331. Julian didn't do anything all day.
Copy !req
332. If he was in on this, it
would have made more sense
Copy !req
333. if he'd just picked up
the checks himself.
Copy !req
334. Would have taken a lot of trips,
Copy !req
335. because GBT took in over $3 million
Copy !req
336. in the last six years.
Copy !req
337. Okay, so maybe Anna's a thief,
Copy !req
338. but that doesn't make
her a murderer, guys.
Copy !req
339. We're talking about her children.
Copy !req
340. Nobody's saying that, Liv.
Copy !req
341. All right, what if, uh,
Copy !req
342. what if she owed money to somebody
Copy !req
343. that was not on the books?
Copy !req
344. And she was late in
paying that person back.
Copy !req
345. - Just doesn't make sense.
- Why would anyone kill the kids?
Copy !req
346. Liv.
Copy !req
347. Tennis shoes.
Copy !req
348. No, tennis shoes with what looks like
Copy !req
349. a spot of blood on 'em.
Copy !req
350. I found these in Anna Mill's
office, in her desk drawer.
Copy !req
351. Jesus, I can't believe this.
Copy !req
352. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
353. Mothers don't kill their babies.
Copy !req
354. Wow.
Copy !req
355. Um, okay.
Copy !req
356. Get 'em to the lab.
Copy !req
357. I-I'll call Fitz and I'll see if...
Copy !req
358. if maybe we missed a
shoe print or something.
Copy !req
359. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
360. Wh-what about Dolores?
Copy !req
361. It's too soon to release her.
Copy !req
362. I gotta say, I won't be upset
if it's not the nanny.
Copy !req
363. You'd rather it be the mother?
Copy !req
364. You want some coffee?
Copy !req
365. No, thank you.
Copy !req
366. If you want some later,
just let me know.
Copy !req
367. Why does everybody keep asking me
Copy !req
368. if I would like coffee?
Copy !req
369. My sister, my friends.
Copy !req
370. As if coffee will make it go away.
Copy !req
371. You know what's not gonna go away?
Copy !req
372. These.
Copy !req
373. I found them in your
desk at your office.
Copy !req
374. I wear them to work. It's
easier on the subway.
Copy !req
375. Yeah, but, uh,
Copy !req
376. Rachel's blood is on the right one.
Copy !req
377. CSU found a small print
by your daughter's bed.
Copy !req
378. It's a perfect match.
Copy !req
379. My baby.
Copy !req
380. You killed them...
Copy !req
381. didn't you, Anna?
Copy !req
382. You did this.
Copy !req
383. Of course I did this.
Copy !req
384. I had to.
Copy !req
385. You had to kill your children?
Copy !req
386. Don't you see?
Copy !req
387. They're so much better off now.
Copy !req
388. How do you plead, Mrs. Mill?
Copy !req
389. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
390. Not guilty.
Copy !req
391. By reason of mental defect, Judge.
Copy !req
392. The people request remand.
Copy !req
393. Mr. O'Boyle?
Copy !req
394. Your Honor, my client's
on so much medication
Copy !req
395. she needs help to get out of the shower.
Copy !req
396. She is not going to run.
Copy !req
397. Judge, she confessed
to killing her family.
Copy !req
398. $2 million bail. All cash.
Copy !req
399. Your Honor, my client's
accounts have all been frozen
Copy !req
400. pending another criminal proceeding.
Copy !req
401. Well, then she certainly has a problem.
Copy !req
402. - Next.
Copy !req
403. Be strong. I'll see you soon.
Copy !req
404. I know, I know. What am I doing here?
Copy !req
405. Well, turns out that
my client, her firm,
Copy !req
406. has a satellite office in Chicago,
Copy !req
407. and I did some work for
her once upon a time.
Copy !req
408. Mrs. Mill is a... good lady.
Copy !req
409. Bedbug crazy. But a good lady.
Copy !req
410. You look, uh, I don't know, distraught?
Copy !req
411. Three murders does that to me.
Copy !req
412. I loved them.
Copy !req
413. I loved them all more than anything.
Copy !req
414. Then I don't understand
why you killed them.
Copy !req
415. I ate lunch at a diner every day
Copy !req
416. round the corner from my office.
Copy !req
417. I bring my work. I sit at the counter.
Copy !req
418. And last week, I saw a cockroach.
Copy !req
419. And it was scurrying its
way up the metal hood
Copy !req
420. right above the grill.
Copy !req
421. And it could feel the heat...
Copy !req
422. and it was doing its best
Copy !req
423. not to fall down into
the sizzling grease.
Copy !req
424. And up he'd go, scurrying up the hood,
Copy !req
425. and then he'd slide back down,
catching himself on the ledge.
Copy !req
426. Over and over, up and down.
Copy !req
427. And then finally he just dropped.
Copy !req
428. Ssss.
Copy !req
429. Sss... pop.
Copy !req
430. And you related to the bug?
Copy !req
431. No, I was the ledge.
Copy !req
432. My children...
Copy !req
433. I had to save them before they
dropped onto the burning grill.
Copy !req
434. Which was inevitable?
Copy !req
435. Wouldn't you rather die
in your sleep, Doctor?
Copy !req
436. 'Cause I couldn't bear
to watch them pop.
Copy !req
437. She's what the textbooks
call a family annihilator.
Copy !req
438. It's typically an upper
middle class male...
Copy !req
439. in this case a female...
Copy !req
440. who can't stand to see
their family suffer.
Copy !req
441. So she kills them.
Copy !req
442. In her mind, it's better
than the alternative.
Copy !req
443. It's usually triggered by
a big financial setback.
Copy !req
444. Like when you're caught
stealing from your clients.
Copy !req
445. Her life is over. She wants
to spare her husband
Copy !req
446. and her children the pain
of going on without her.
Copy !req
447. I'm sorry, are you buying any of this?
Copy !req
448. because to me it sounds
like some made-up syndrome
Copy !req
449. cooked up by a defense attorney.
Copy !req
450. Bottom line: She believed
the murders were necessary
Copy !req
451. even though she knew they were wrong.
Copy !req
452. Good, then she's not legally insane.
Copy !req
453. Not to us, but to a
jury looking at a woman
Copy !req
454. who killed her children,
she's per Se crazy.
Copy !req
455. And Mr. O'Boyle's going to make
Copy !req
456. a seven-course meal out of it.
Copy !req
457. What can I do?
Copy !req
458. Prove she planned the killing?
Copy !req
459. You didn't come to the
Bronx to apologize to me.
Copy !req
460. Actually I did, but I
do have some questions
Copy !req
461. that I'd like to ask you.
Copy !req
462. To help you convict Mrs. Anna?
Copy !req
463. I'm just trying to
figure out what happened
Copy !req
464. and why she did what she did.
Copy !req
465. I will never understand.
Copy !req
466. Well, to be honest with you,
Copy !req
467. I won't either, but...
Copy !req
468. but I've got to try, if that's okay.
Copy !req
469. So, Delores, when... when is the
last time you spoke with her?
Copy !req
470. The night before.
Copy !req
471. I stayed late because
Mr. Julian went to sleep early.
Copy !req
472. What did you talk about?
Copy !req
473. The children.
Copy !req
474. She wanted to know if
Rachel did her homework.
Copy !req
475. Okay, did she...
Copy !req
476. did she say anything about her husband?
Copy !req
477. Did she...
Copy !req
478. did she say anything about Charlie?
Copy !req
479. Dolores, did she say anything else?
Copy !req
480. What is it?
Copy !req
481. It's nothing.
Copy !req
482. Just tell me.
Copy !req
483. Usually when I'm leaving,
Copy !req
484. Mrs. Anna says "Buenas Noches."
Copy !req
485. Good night.
Copy !req
486. That night, she said "adios."
Copy !req
487. "Good-bye"?
Copy !req
488. And she kissed me.
Copy !req
489. She never kisses me.
Copy !req
490. Well, thank you, um, thank you, Dolores.
Copy !req
491. Um, you've... you've
been extremely helpful.
Copy !req
492. For ten years, she treated me so well.
Copy !req
493. She helped me stay in this country.
Copy !req
494. My brother, too.
Copy !req
495. I would have nothing without her.
Copy !req
496. You take care of yourself.
Copy !req
497. Well, it's a start.
Copy !req
498. Anna knew what she was gonna do
the night before she did it.
Copy !req
499. Look, we're splitting legal hairs here.
Copy !req
500. Insane. Not insane.
Copy !req
501. She kissed the nanny.
She said, "Good-bye."
Copy !req
502. She planned on killing her family.
Copy !req
503. And she deserves to be punished.
Copy !req
504. Exactly. So what kind of
legal system do we have
Copy !req
505. if a woman like Anna Mill
could end up in a hospital
Copy !req
506. and not in prison?
Copy !req
507. I hope one of you had the clam chowder.
Copy !req
508. It's the best I've had since
I dropped my kid off at BU.
Copy !req
509. - Billy O'Boyle.
- Olivia Benson.
Copy !req
510. - Like I don't know.
- Mr. O'Boyle does...
Copy !req
511. - Billy.
- Does his homework.
Copy !req
512. Well, can I buy you two a drink?
Copy !req
513. Actually, I have a son at home.
Copy !req
514. But thank you.
Copy !req
515. I don't know how you do it.
Copy !req
516. I know you're top-of-the-line at one,
Copy !req
517. but how do you rate at the other?
Copy !req
518. - Good-bye.
- Good night.
Copy !req
519. Open mouth, insert foot.
Copy !req
520. I don't know when I'm gonna realize:
Copy !req
521. the fairer sex is the
more sensitive sex.
Copy !req
522. So you gotta hand it to 'em these days.
Copy !req
523. They gotta be smart, pretty,
Copy !req
524. bring home the bacon and
fry it up in the pan.
Copy !req
525. Hm. You know, that sounds
like an opening statement.
Copy !req
526. Oh... why didn't I think of that?
Copy !req
527. I spoke with Mrs. Mill several times.
Copy !req
528. The first was shortly after
she committed the murders.
Copy !req
529. Objection.
Copy !req
530. The defendant admitted
she murdered her family.
Copy !req
531. No, she did not... she
stated that she killed them.
Copy !req
532. It does not become murder
until the people establish
Copy !req
533. the necessary Mens Rea.
Copy !req
534. It is the defense position
that a mental defect
Copy !req
535. prevented her from ever
forming the requisite intent.
Copy !req
536. Sustained.
Copy !req
537. Please continue, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
538. I spoke with her shortly after
Copy !req
539. she killed her husband, Julian,
Copy !req
540. her daughter, Rachel,
Copy !req
541. and her son, Charlie.
Copy !req
542. And how did she act?
Copy !req
543. She was traumatized by their deaths,
Copy !req
544. she was emotional, she was disoriented.
Copy !req
545. Did she appear sane?
Copy !req
546. - Yes.
- What about the last time
Copy !req
547. - you spoke with her?
- I've been a cop for 20 years,
Copy !req
548. and never in my career
Copy !req
549. have I seen anything like this.
Copy !req
550. She convinced herself that
murdering her children
Copy !req
551. and murdering her husband
was the only choice.
Copy !req
552. So, this woman deserves to be in prison.
Copy !req
553. She's not "legally" insane.
Copy !req
554. Thank you.
Copy !req
555. How many years have you been
a professional psychiatrist?
Copy !req
556. I'm not a psychiatrist.
Copy !req
557. A psychologist?
Copy !req
558. I'm just a cop.
Copy !req
559. So you really can't tell us
whether or not Mrs. Mill
Copy !req
560. is a card-carrying
schizophrenic who hears voices
Copy !req
561. telling her to kill her family.
Copy !req
562. No, but the psychiatrist can.
Copy !req
563. You heard Dr. Abernathy's testimony.
Copy !req
564. She said that the defendant
did not hear voices.
Copy !req
565. So then is it fair to say,
in your professional opinion
Copy !req
566. as a cop, that when you
spoke with Mrs. Mill
Copy !req
567. after the killing, she did not
appear to be legally insane?
Copy !req
568. Yes, that is correct.
Copy !req
569. Then what about earlier?
Copy !req
570. Earlier, when she raised
the knife and plunged it
Copy !req
571. into the tender bodies of her
children and her husband...
Copy !req
572. the three people that she
loved the most in the world.
Copy !req
573. What about then? Did she appear
to be insane to you then?
Copy !req
574. Unfortunately I wasn't there then.
Copy !req
575. But that's the moment.
Copy !req
576. That's the only moment that matters.
Copy !req
577. Isn't it, Lieutenant?
Copy !req
578. I said, "not at work."
Copy !req
579. I know, but...
Copy !req
580. Oh, damn it, Al, I hate word games.
Copy !req
581. Okay, we'll talk.
Copy !req
582. Those are pretty.
Copy !req
583. I said, "not at the office."
Copy !req
584. And he said that they're not for me.
Copy !req
585. Who are they for?
Copy !req
586. Ah. Smooth.
Copy !req
587. - Yeah.
- How was court?
Copy !req
588. How do you think?
Copy !req
589. I couldn't even step into that building.
Copy !req
590. I don't care if she's crazy.
Copy !req
591. That woman should be
taken from the earth.
Copy !req
592. You know, last night I...
Copy !req
593. I put Noah to bed,
kissed him good night,
Copy !req
594. I turned out the light and then...
Copy !req
595. And then I just stood there...
watching him sleep.
Copy !req
596. For two hours.
Copy !req
597. I did the same thing.
Copy !req
598. Sometimes life just... sucks.
Copy !req
599. - Amanda.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
600. You should keep those flowers.
Copy !req
601. Why?
Copy !req
602. 'Cause sometimes we just...
Copy !req
603. we just need a little pretty.
Copy !req
604. Right.
Copy !req
605. And if I told this jury
that you loved your family,
Copy !req
606. would that be a true statement?
Copy !req
607. Of course I loved them. I
would do anything for them.
Copy !req
608. So, you wanna hide them from
all the ugliness in the world?
Copy !req
609. That's right.
Copy !req
610. Is that why you work so hard?
Copy !req
611. Isn't that what I'm supposed to do?
Copy !req
612. Well, who told you that, Anna?
Copy !req
613. I knew that.
Copy !req
614. I grew... I grew up in
a basement apartment.
Copy !req
615. My family had nothing,
Copy !req
616. I had to work for
everything that I have.
Copy !req
617. And everywhere I looked,
every book I read,
Copy !req
618. every magazine, or
television show, movie,
Copy !req
619. there were successful and happy
women with beautiful families.
Copy !req
620. They were running companies.
They were running for Congress.
Copy !req
621. What if you couldn't do that?
Copy !req
622. I had to do that.
Copy !req
623. I had to do that so that
my life would be perfect.
Copy !req
624. Was your life perfect?
Copy !req
625. I had to. For Charlie, for Rachel.
Copy !req
626. You had to?
Copy !req
627. And is that what you were thinking
Copy !req
628. when you... killed your family?
Copy !req
629. I was outside of myself.
Copy !req
630. I watched... as another
woman stabbed them.
Copy !req
631. She was saving them from the pain.
Copy !req
632. From the ugliness of a
life that just wasn't...
Copy !req
633. Wasn't perfect.
Copy !req
634. I'd like you to look at this photo
Copy !req
635. if you don't mind, Mrs. Mill.
Copy !req
636. I know it's a lot of ugliness.
Copy !req
637. Objection.
Copy !req
638. Withdrawn.
Copy !req
639. It's a lot of pain.
Copy !req
640. Your honor.
Copy !req
641. Move on, Mr. Stone.
Copy !req
642. This other woman,
Copy !req
643. the one you saw saving your
family from the suffering,
Copy !req
644. did you say anything to her?
Copy !req
645. - Excuse me?
- You testified
Copy !req
646. it was like watching another woman.
Copy !req
647. I just wanted to know
if you spoke to her
Copy !req
648. before she stabbed your
husband and your children.
Copy !req
649. - No.
- Did you try and stop her?
Copy !req
650. - She wasn't real.
- But you thought she was,
Copy !req
651. isn't that right? I
mean, that's your proof
Copy !req
652. that you're insane.
Copy !req
653. No, I didn't try to stop her.
Copy !req
654. Because you wanted them
dead, isn't that right?
Copy !req
655. Because I wanted to protect them.
Copy !req
656. - They're better off now.
- Better off than what?
Copy !req
657. - Facing a world without...
- Without what, Mrs. Mill?
Copy !req
658. - Well, isn't it obvious?
- No. It's not.
Copy !req
659. Without me.
Copy !req
660. I've got news for you, Mrs. Mill.
Copy !req
661. - You're not so great.
- Objection.
Copy !req
662. Sustained.
Copy !req
663. I shelter them, I protect them.
Copy !req
664. It is a hard world, Mr. Stone,
Copy !req
665. and I didn't want to watch my
babies be swallowed up by it.
Copy !req
666. Then why didn't you just kill yourself?
Copy !req
667. - Objection.
- Sustained.
Copy !req
668. Nothing further, Your Honor.
Copy !req
669. Everything has to be perfect.
Copy !req
670. That...
Copy !req
671. that is exactly what Anna
Mill had in her head.
Copy !req
672. "I have to."
Copy !req
673. "I have to."I have to."
Copy !req
674. "I have to go to school, get a job,"
Copy !req
675. "get married, beget 2.3 children."
Copy !req
676. "If I don't, I have failed."
Copy !req
677. "What happens to my 2.3 children?"
Copy !req
678. Anna Mill, she heard voices in her head.
Copy !req
679. She heard the voice of her
own mother telling her,
Copy !req
680. "You need to earn money,
or the world will eat you"
Copy !req
681. "and your offspring raw."
Copy !req
682. She heard Betty Friedan and
Gloria Steinem telling her,
Copy !req
683. "You are the equal to any man."
Copy !req
684. She heard Hillary say,
Copy !req
685. "Aim high, but rely only on yourself."
Copy !req
686. "I have to, I have to, I have to, I..."
Copy !req
687. And then what happens when you can't?
Copy !req
688. It's enough to... drive you crazy.
Copy !req
689. Crazy to do what Anna Mill did.
Copy !req
690. You would have to be... crazy.
Copy !req
691. You know, I almost fell
into Mr. O'Boyle's trap.
Copy !req
692. I very nearly stood up here and
told you that today's woman
Copy !req
693. can do it all.
Copy !req
694. She can have everything.
Copy !req
695. But that's a lie,
Copy !req
696. and we... we all know it.
Copy !req
697. Surely women can have it all...
Copy !req
698. but just not all at the same time.
Copy !req
699. This case, it isn't about feminism.
Copy !req
700. It's about what was going
on in Anna Mill's head
Copy !req
701. when she stabbed her son, her
daughter, and her husband.
Copy !req
702. Did she know what she was doing?
Copy !req
703. She told us she wanted them dead.
Copy !req
704. Did she know it was wrong?
Copy !req
705. She let the police believe
her nanny was the killer.
Copy !req
706. That's it. It's that simple.
Copy !req
707. Under hundreds of years of
case law, she is not insane.
Copy !req
708. And here's the truth:
Copy !req
709. I feel for every woman in this courtroom
Copy !req
710. and the completely
unrealistic expectations
Copy !req
711. that society puts on you.
Copy !req
712. But that does not allow you
to kill without consequence.
Copy !req
713. Has the jury reached a verdict?
Copy !req
714. We have, Your Honor.
Copy !req
715. On the first count of the indictment
Copy !req
716. of murder in the second
degree of Charles Mill,
Copy !req
717. we find the defendant
Copy !req
718. not guilty.
Copy !req
719. On the second count, murder
in the second degree
Copy !req
720. of Rachel Mill, we find the defendant
Copy !req
721. not guilty.
Copy !req
722. On the third count of the indictment,
Copy !req
723. murder in the second
degree of Julian Mill,
Copy !req
724. we find the defendant, Anna Mill,
Copy !req
725. guilty.
Copy !req
726. The jury couldn't accept
Copy !req
727. that a sane woman would
kill her children.
Copy !req
728. - Who could?
- I meant legally sane.
Copy !req
729. - I know what you meant.
Copy !req
730. Lieutenant Benson.
Copy !req
731. Thank you.
Copy !req
732. Anna Mill just hung herself in her cell.
Copy !req
