Is Mason right? Is J.D. Lambert part of this?
Cora, you're gonna have to trust me if I'm gonna help you.
He was the one I was with on Fourth of July weekend.
This is Mr. Lambert's lawyer, Mr. Herting.
So, J.D. brings a gun to a knife fight?
More like a canon.
These cops don't give a shit about you.
Trust me, all they wanna do is put you away.
No, no, he's helping me.
I feel like you're not really interested.
Something could happen to me and you wouldn't even notice.
I bought it from his girlfriend. Her prints are all over it
and I recorded the whole conversation.
Caitlin, please, you can arrest her, or him, or something.
They're hunting us.
I know what you're doing so you can just stop.
You want me to die.
There was this wallpaper, like the design on a dollar bill.
It's on every wall.
It's the school bus again. Don't worry about the school bus.
Where did you go with Maddie?
He slept through the night.
Hmm...
I can't believe it.
Oh.
I know. Finally.
You "ssh."
- Yeah, we're just waiting. - Okay.
The remains were unearthed late last night
and in a stunning development,
are apparently linked to the Cora Tannetti murder case
that has rocked the Dorchester community...
I can't take this. ...for the past several weeks.
Behind me, as you can see, there is still lots of ongoing activity
as authorities and forensic specialists make their way to the crime scene,
which is reportedly miles away from the nearest road access.
The identity of this individual is yet to be determined.
But DPD Captain Brian Morris...
Mason? Is that you?
You want to tell me what the hell's going on?
We got some serious voodoo shit going on now, Harry.
Detective.
We're looking at a female, teenager or young adult,
been out here three to four years, no more than 10.
We'll be able to narrow that down after analysis.
Anything on cause of death? Nothing jumps out so far,
but she was wrapped in this blanket here.
They brought her here from somewhere else.
Could be. These could be old blood stains.
Might get lucky and pull some DNA off it.
The questions surrounding murder defendant Cora Tannetti
have only intensified this morning with the discovery of a human body
buried deep in the heart of the Weehawken Forest Preserve.
While authorities have yet to confirm if Ms. Tannetti
is responsible for this death,
they were apparently led to the crime scene
by information she provided.
Hey, Mom.
Why didn't you answer any of my calls?
I was busy working.
I found it.
It's $950 a month, right in the center of Naples.
Can we, um, find something cheaper?
No, no, look, it's perfect. Come here.
It's right across the street from the beach.
I can walk there all by myself. See?
I made another deposit today.
We cracked $3,000.
Another grand, we'll be good to go.
Oh, and I got you another match today.
His name's Scott. He's 34. He's a hospital administrator.
He's not dumb. He looks generous.
And he thinks that you love Dolly Parton as much as he does.
It's time for your shot.
Draw a bath for your sister.
Dear Heavenly Father,
as we prepare to receive this healing medication,
we thank you as always.
Yeah, I got it.
Thank you. Jesus.
Can you explain to me, please,
how in the name of God you come up with this?
Mushrooms.
A decomposing body changes soil chemistry.
Certain plants grow, others don't, hence mushrooms.
That and soil depression over here.
That's wonderful. But what the hell were you doing
way out here in the first place?
It's complicated.
Well, you should know the staties are right behind me.
How did that happen? I got this under control.
Yeah, mushrooms.
Ah. Anne.
Brian. How are you?
Yeah. Dan Jose.
Nice to meet you guys.
Cora. What's going on?
I'm going crazy waiting for you in here.
Mrs. Tannetti, this is BCI Captain Anne Farmer.
New York State Police.
She's been assigned to the murder case.
The one that's connected to the body we found in the woods.
Hi, Mrs. Tannetti, it's nice to meet you.
Let me get those for you.
Captain Farmer and I will be working on this together.
She's got a couple of questions to ask you.
Uh-huh.
So, I assume Detective Ambrose has made you aware of your rights?
Yes. Great.
Can I call you Cora? Sure.
Oh. Sorry. Nanny trouble.
You have kids, right?
One.
Twins. It never ends. Okay, I am putting that away.
So, what can you tell me about that body we found in the woods?
Nothing. You knew something was buried out there.
No. No, I didn't know.
Oh, um...
I don't understand.
Um, how is it that you led Detective Ambrose to that exact location?
I was, uh, just telling him
bits of what I remembered.
Remembered of what?
I don't know.
Cora, you can see how this doesn't look very good for you?
I didn't do this. I didn't kill anybody.
Else. You didn't kill anybody else.
Cora Tannetti is
already awaiting sentencing on the Belmont homicide
and she led Detective Ambrose directly to the burial site.
This isn't rocket science.
It's just that Cora Tannetti weighs 115 pounds.
To me, it seems unlikely that a woman that size
would haul a body three miles in from the nearest road all by herself.
Sounds like you've got a different take on this.
We're starting to circle a local dealer.
J.D. Lambert.
Women disappear around this guy.
His ex, Maddie Beecham, she went missing five years ago.
We're still trying to track her down.
- And you think she's our Jane Doe? - Possibly.
She fits the timeline. That said, it could be anyone.
Okay, let's bring in this J.D. Lambert and see what he has to say.
Well, we did that. He's not saying much.
He's a slippery guy. But we're working on some other angles.
Okay, well, bring me everything you've got on him.
Cora, too.
I wanna get up to speed on all the good work you've been doing.
Thanks, everybody. Let's keep pushing forward.
I mean, they basically told me that I'm the guy.
And that means full benefits and a pay raise.
Which, I'm already doing pretty well,
but now it's like...
I'm gonna buy that condo.
Congratulations.
Yeah, I think it was the coding that I did
for the new payroll system that did the trick.
You've got something stuck in there.
A little more to the left.
There's some toothpicks at the register. You could...
Yeah, good idea.
Sorry.
All better.
You know, I should probably be getting back.
Oh.
Really?
Um, but it's so early.
Can I take you for some ice cream or something?
We're about to bring it out. Do you have anything else?
We're packing up here unless you need anything else.
I'm good.
Cheers.
Most of our members don't hunt these days,
but the Beverwyck still owns about 3,000 acres
of old growth forest preserve since the 1850s.
And that back road that I came in on, who has access to that?
Only club members and grounds crew.
The front gate is locked at all times.
I'm going to need a member list, a staff list,
and anybody who's had access for going back 10 years, say.
I'm sorry, and what is this regarding? It's a murder investigation.
Um, let me see what I can do. Thanks.
Well, it's good news.
The state police and the DA offered us a deal.
If you provide a detailed confession to the second murder,
they'll let you serve the two sentences concurrently
and guarantee early parole in 20 years, pending good behavior.
Twenty years?
Yeah, we're down from 30 years with the first murder charge.
This is better than anything we could hope for.
Cora, the thing is, if you reject the offer
and down the road they convict you on this other murder,
they will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.
That's back-to-back life sentences, possibility of parole in 80 years.
So, I'm supposed to confess to a murder I didn't commit.
All I can tell you is, you won't be getting a better deal.
And it won't be on the table forever.
The Beverwyck Club started accepting Jews in 1978,
blacks in '85.
Besides that, they keep a low profile.
Not a single police report filed in the last 15 years.
What's this?
An employee filed a wrongful dismissal suit
a few years back.
That's the only recent article I could find.
That's something.
I want you to go this way. Yeah, it's...
I'll start going through this. Thanks.
Have a good day. Okay. Thanks.
Captain.
Whatever Mason Tannetti might have told you,
I think it would be good if we didn't make a move
on J.D. Lambert just yet.
It's good to have him out in the field with his guard down.
Not stuck in County.
I'll consider that, Lieutenant. Thanks. Thank you.
Oh, by the way... Yeah.
...I was just catching up on your interviews with Cora Tannetti
and I noticed that you logged in to see her a couple of times
at County, after hours.
I'm not seeing any of those transcripts. Because those were informal.
I was just chasing down the details. Nothing checked out.
Normally, I like to keep a record of all interactions with the defendant,
no matter how small.
It's an old habit but... Saved my neck a few times, so...
Makes sense.
Welcome back.
We were just about to close our eyes for a minute.
You wanna join?
You don't have to do anything, or say anything.
There we go.
God, I wanna thank you
for protecting all the women inside these walls.
Take away from us all fear,
anxiety, stress...
Are you coming?
God, thank you for protecting our families while we are incarcerated,
allowing them to fix their eyes on you...
...and allow them to hope for the future.
A hope found in Christ.
How'd you get all the way down there?
- Amen. - Amen.
Cynthia Burrows?
I'm Detective Ambrose.
I'm with Dorchester Police.
You filed a wrongful termination suit against the Beverwyck Club.
Isn't that right? I'm not allowed to talk about that.
Why not? It was part of the settlement.
Well, we could make this off the record. It doesn't matter.
Ms. Burrows, we found the remains of a young woman
buried in the woods behind Beverwyck.
Anything you could tell us,
we would really appreciate it.
Jesus.
Out there.
I was working late. Some kind of fundraiser.
A table of guys kept buying drinks. I had one.
I blacked out. Like, totally out.
Next day, I woke up in a Walmart parking lot
sitting in the passenger seat of my own car.
I was totally naked.
Anyway, they fired me the next week.
I'm gonna talk to that guy and see if we can get those cameras installed.
This is insane.
Even from behind bars, she's torturing us.
Ma, here, I'll do it, please... No, I got it.
You know, your father and I have been talking
and we think it's a good idea if maybe we left town.
For Laine's sake and for yours. What are you talking about?
She's killing our business, Mason. We've lost five accounts already.
Our friends aren't even calling us...
No, I'm not going anywhere and neither is Laine.
Can you please just go inside before I lose it?
Well, it's... Been pretty busy at work,
but I'm trying not to put any stress on Faye.
It's been good.
I think.
Thank you, Harry.
Faye, you had something you wanted to say to Harry.
What?
I think it was a mistake for you to move back in.
What do you mean?
I mean, I've realized
I don't wanna do this anymore.
I don't understand.
I thought things would be different.
Even when we're together, I still feel alone.
I'm sorry.
But we've been doing fine.
What did I do?
I need you to move out.
Harry, do you have anything you'd like to say?
Hey. You all right?
Yeah, I'm good. You sure?
Hey, just the man I want to see.
What's this I hear about you poking around the Beverwyck?
Bruce here, he's been telling me how you bulldozed in there
like the goddamn Swamp Thing.
The lot backs on to the crime scene.
I don't quite get what you have to do with all this.
I represent the club. It's good to see you.
You have quite the roster. J.D. Lambert and the Beverwyck.
Now, what are the odds of that?
Brian, I'll see you later, yeah? Yeah, take care.
Thanks for your time. Yeah.
You say hi Courtney for me, would you? Will do.
See the ring? He's married.
That's why he wants to meet somewhere discreet.
A thousand bucks just to meet up. No strings attached.
He looks creepy.
So, get some money upfront. You don't like him, walk away.
And if you do like him, then we've got ourselves a sugar daddy.
Cora.
Cora, come on, please. We're...
We're so close.
I can't take it here much longer.
You're so pretty. It's not fair.
Stop it. Sorry.
You know, I'd be lost without you.
Dead already.
Don't say that. It's true.
You're the only reason that this is worth it. Any of it.
Show your hands!
Police, let me see your hands.
Stay on the ground!
- Down, down, down! - What are you doing?
Get your hands off me.
Hands behind your back! Please, my baby's upstairs.
Come on, let's go. I can't leave him here.
Please let me take him. No, he can't be left alone, please.
Let me take my baby. Please, let me take him.
Yeah. She's not talking. Says the drugs were hers.
We should have waited on this. Now we've ruined our shot at J.D.
It's a dead-end before it even started.
I talked to Lopez.
What's this about you offering a deal to Cora Tannetti?
Seems a little early, doesn't it, to try to pin the Jane Doe on her?
We don't have a cause of death yet.
It's not early if I get her confession.
That sounds like coercion.
You know, I wasn't gonna say anything,
but I wonder if maybe you're a little too close on this.
Too close?
Secret meetings in back of County.
You do that with all your defendants,
or just the ones that look like Cora Tannetti?
Why'd you walk in here, huh? I told you not to.
I'll never talk.
It's your fault. You make me do things.
Stop. Stop.
What's the matter?
- Hello? - Hi.
Hey. How are you holding up?
I don't know.
My lawyer thinks I should take the deal they're offering and...
I think maybe I should, too. No, don't.
Don't make any moves right now. I might have a lead.
Wait, you found something?
I can't say right now 'cause they monitor your calls,
but, just, can you hang in there for a few days, okay?
Okay.
Do you want to talk for a while?
Okay.
I'd tell her everything and she'd wanna hear it.
Everything I did, who I talked to.
Yeah, she was never bored.
That's a virtue, never to be bored.
How about you, any siblings?
Nah, I'm an only child.
Was that lonely? I don't know.
I spent a lot of time in the woods. That helped.
Yeah, I can imagine you happy in the woods.
Just to stay quiet,
watch the birds, listen to the wind,
it's good.
Just trying to understand what Phoebe must have felt like.
Spending her whole life in a tiny room.
Cora, you're not gonna be in there forever, you know, I want you...
You are out of prepaid minutes. Please refill your card.
We didn't order any AC unit. You sure?
That you? That's our address,
but we did not order an AC unit. I promise you.
Okay, sorry to trouble you.
You have a good day. You, too.
Damn kids.
Would you admit to a crime
you didn't commit, just to get a better deal?
Don't ask me. This is between you and the big man.
I grew up with God in my house, all he brought was more pain.
Then you were talking to the wrong God. That's all.
Let me tell you something.
I used to wake up every day, bang meth in my arm,
and decide which old lady's identity to steal.
I didn't give a shit about anyone.
But once everything I had was gone,
that's when I could hear his voice, right there in my ear.
What did he say? He said, "Stop beating yourself up."
Confess your sins. Surrender.
Anastasia?
You're Anastasia, right?
No, sorry. Yeah, you are. Hey.
Hey, I came a long way for this. Leave me alone!
Don't you want your money? Hey! Hey!
What the hell you doing, man? Yeah, walk, walk!
Are you all right? Are you okay?
Is this what you're looking for?
Is it Anastasia? Is that your real name?
It's Cora.
Cora, I like that better. I'm James.
Do you need a ride anywhere, Cora?
That's your last one.
J.D.!
Come on, we don't have to talk to anyone.
I just ring people up at the register mostly
and restock the shelves.
What would you rather be doing?
I don't know. If you could do anything.
My parents need me at home... Screw your parents, what about you?
There's this thing you have in your eyes.
I can see it when I look at you.
You have this spirit. It's not like anyone else.
You're a force, you realize that?
You could be anything you want.
You should be asking for the world.
Take this off, I wanna see.
I've never done this before.
Ever.
Where did you come from?
I'm sorry. No, no, no. You're incredible.
It's all my fault.
Sweetie... It's all my fault.
It's all my fault, it's all my fault.
It's all my fault, it's all my fault...
It's all right. It's all my fault,
it's all my fault, it's all my fault.
It's not your fault, sweetheart. Phoebe.
It's okay.
Oh, my God, oh, my God, I thought you were dead.
Shh, Phoebe, it's all right.
Where were you?
You whore!
Look what you did to your sister.
Just look.
Look, Cora.
Look.
I told you, I don't remember.
Cora, you were in love with J.D.
You were obsessed with him and he used you, didn't he?
That's okay, I know how it feels.
These men, they just screw you and toss you aside.
J.D. had left you and he went back to his real girlfriend, Maddie.
You had every right to be angry, I know I would be.
He was your first real boyfriend, wasn't he?
You would've done anything for him.
Guilt is a brutal thing. It chews people up.
I see it all the time.
And I can see it in you.
You must be exhausted carrying all of that around.
Aren't you exhausted?
Yeah.
What do you feel so guilty about?
Everything.
Then you'll have to admit that it's possible...
it's possible that you killed Maddie and you just, you don't remember.
Isn't it?
Isn't it, Cora?
Yeah. Mmm-hmm. It's possible.
It is.
You did kill Frankie after all, didn't you?
You couldn't control yourself, what you did.
You killed him.
Detective Ambrose.
I'm afraid if you don't have a warrant then we really should take this upstairs.
You know what, if I were you,
I would be thinking
of Laine.
Twenty years, that's a long time but it is not forever.
He'll be, what, 23, 24?
and you'll get out on parole?
You wanna see him graduate from college, don't you?
Yeah.
Tell me what happened, and all of this'll be over.
Go to hell.
Where you going?
It's okay. Get some rest, all right? I'll be back.
So, Cora Tannetti's hanging tough?
More than you thought?
Doesn't matter. I don't need a confession after all.
We got a DNA match on those blood stains.
Yeah, who?
Your girl, Cora.
She's all over that blanket.
