00:00:07,674 --> 00:00:09,134
[police radio chatter]
2
00:00:09,218 --> 00:00:10,302
[man] Watch your step.
3
00:00:19,478 --> 00:00:20,562
What happened?
4
00:00:20,646 --> 00:00:23,857
Oh, the lady died in there.One of the officers said suicide.
5
00:01:19,788 --> 00:01:23,417
[inmates clamoring]
6
00:01:58,994 --> 00:02:00,579
Suicide my ass.
7
00:02:00,913 --> 00:02:02,873
-I think she killed her mother.-Hmm.
8
00:02:02,956 --> 00:02:05,834
You should've seenthat self-satisfied look she gave me.
9
00:02:05,918 --> 00:02:08,711
Yeah, well,this is Erin's preliminary tox report.
10
00:02:09,213 --> 00:02:10,214
Fentanyl.
11
00:02:10,672 --> 00:02:13,300
And ODs like thisusually show high levels of it.
12
00:02:13,383 --> 00:02:14,843
People popping a lot of pills.
13
00:02:14,927 --> 00:02:17,179
And this one seems likeit was a perfectly measured dose.
14
00:02:17,262 --> 00:02:20,891
Which someone who works inthe death business would know how to do.
15
00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:22,351
Like your friend Lanie.
16
00:02:23,769 --> 00:02:27,356
Same woman who broke into my houselooking for her diary.
17
00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:30,192
Took my mother's church fanand gave it to her kid to play with.
18
00:02:30,275 --> 00:02:32,945
Yeah, but Erin hasa long history of pill popping.
19
00:02:33,028 --> 00:02:37,115
And she's been locked up a bunch of times,so an OD makes sense to the cops.
20
00:02:37,533 --> 00:02:38,617
This case is done.
21
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:39,952
Mmm.
22
00:02:40,410 --> 00:02:45,165
But Erin was gonna come on the podcastand tell me what happened that night.
23
00:02:45,249 --> 00:02:46,291
-Really?-Mmm.
24
00:02:46,375 --> 00:02:50,712
All right, so Lanie makes it seemlike Erin is freaking out
25
00:02:50,796 --> 00:02:53,799
because you're about to dredge upa whole bunch of shit.
26
00:02:53,882 --> 00:02:55,843
So, what does she do?
27
00:02:55,926 --> 00:02:58,804
She pops some pills to take the edge offand she winds up OD'ing.
28
00:02:58,887 --> 00:03:00,806
[Poppy]And the only reason Lanie would do that
29
00:03:00,889 --> 00:03:03,809
is if she killed her fatherand needed her mother to be quiet.
30
00:03:03,892 --> 00:03:06,645
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I can see that.
31
00:03:07,062 --> 00:03:11,066
Mm-hmm.You agree with me for once. Finally.
32
00:03:11,149 --> 00:03:12,526
I agree with you on this one.
33
00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:14,611
You've come to see my brilliance.
34
00:03:15,112 --> 00:03:17,364
-I wouldn't say all that.-[phone ringing]
35
00:03:19,449 --> 00:03:20,576
-Hello?-[electronic female voice] Hello.
36
00:03:20,659 --> 00:03:23,161
This is a prepaid collect call from...
37
00:03:23,245 --> 00:03:24,580
[man] California State Penitentiary.
38
00:03:24,663 --> 00:03:26,456
[electronic female voice]To accept charges--
39
00:03:27,791 --> 00:03:28,792
[Warren] I don't have long.
40
00:03:28,876 --> 00:03:31,420
-The guards released me back into gen pop.-Shit.
41
00:03:31,503 --> 00:03:33,839
I'll be luckyif I make it to the end of day.
42
00:03:34,256 --> 00:03:37,885
Well, can we get your lawyerto request protective custody?
43
00:03:37,968 --> 00:03:39,219
No, it's too late.
44
00:03:39,678 --> 00:03:42,806
Listen, if I die before my mother does,
45
00:03:42,890 --> 00:03:45,434
you have to promise methat you keep this from her.
46
00:03:45,517 --> 00:03:47,644
[Poppy] Don't talk like that.I'm gonna get you out.
47
00:03:47,728 --> 00:03:50,981
You camp at her house,you steal her phone if you--
48
00:03:51,064 --> 00:03:52,608
-I'm calling the warden.-Poppy.
49
00:03:54,151 --> 00:03:55,986
-This one's for Kuvney.-[prisoners clamoring]
50
00:03:56,361 --> 00:03:59,072
-[Poppy] Warren. Warren.-[man] Piece of shit!
51
00:03:59,156 --> 00:04:00,490
Warren.
52
00:04:04,995 --> 00:04:06,955
[employee chatting, indistinct]
53
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:08,498
She called me,
54
00:04:09,208 --> 00:04:12,503
slurring her words,ranting about Poppy Parnell.
55
00:04:12,586 --> 00:04:15,339
So I went over thereto try to calm her down,
56
00:04:15,422 --> 00:04:17,798
but by the time I got thereshe was already...
57
00:04:19,843 --> 00:04:21,345
Still doesn't make any sense.
58
00:04:21,428 --> 00:04:24,806
But how could we knowwhat was going on in Mom's head?
59
00:04:25,224 --> 00:04:26,767
She barely even knew herself.
60
00:04:26,850 --> 00:04:29,853
No way. You don't understand.
61
00:04:30,687 --> 00:04:32,814
We were gonna start over.
62
00:04:32,898 --> 00:04:35,067
Both of us, here, together.
63
00:04:36,401 --> 00:04:37,945
Why were you there?
64
00:04:38,487 --> 00:04:39,530
What do you mean?
65
00:04:39,613 --> 00:04:41,865
Why did she call you and not me?
66
00:04:41,949 --> 00:04:45,369
She'd never made herself vulnerablelike that to you.
67
00:04:47,538 --> 00:04:48,705
I don't know.
68
00:04:50,541 --> 00:04:52,584
Maybe she was scared, you know,
69
00:04:52,668 --> 00:04:55,254
that she couldn't live up to everythingthat she promised you.
70
00:04:56,213 --> 00:04:57,840
Do you really think that?
71
00:05:00,551 --> 00:05:01,552
Oh, my God.
72
00:05:01,635 --> 00:05:03,178
Josie, I didn't mean it--
73
00:05:06,306 --> 00:05:09,560
-[girl] Don't tell Mom, okay?-[girl shouting]
74
00:05:09,643 --> 00:05:11,144
[sobbing]
75
00:05:14,147 --> 00:05:15,732
Hey, are you okay?
76
00:05:16,233 --> 00:05:17,901
Josie, are you okay?
77
00:05:21,572 --> 00:05:23,323
[Ingram] Get back to me by end of day.
78
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,743
I need your help.
79
00:05:27,452 --> 00:05:29,288
-With?-Lanie Buhrman.
80
00:05:29,371 --> 00:05:34,042
She was institutionalized and I thinkher time inside holds some of the answers.
81
00:05:34,126 --> 00:05:36,378
Crapped out on that onewith my colleague's wife.
82
00:05:36,461 --> 00:05:39,214
I don't need her medical records,just the name of her doctor.
83
00:05:39,298 --> 00:05:43,552
When I saw you coming in, I thought,"Finally. She's here to talk about us."
84
00:05:44,595 --> 00:05:47,556
-What do you need from me?-The truth which I haven't been getting.
85
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:49,516
-About?-Come on, Poppy.
86
00:05:50,726 --> 00:05:54,646
You know,Warren and I couldn't be further apart.
87
00:05:55,063 --> 00:05:57,649
But somehow I felt like we were linked.
88
00:05:57,733 --> 00:05:59,568
My destiny with his.
89
00:06:00,652 --> 00:06:04,114
It made me want to fight for himthe way I would fight for myself.
90
00:06:04,990 --> 00:06:07,659
The way I couldn't fightfor myself as a kid.
91
00:06:13,207 --> 00:06:14,958
When you were a kid.
92
00:06:16,835 --> 00:06:21,381
Well, I got some information aboutyour foster mother, Shirley Maxwell.
93
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:28,013
It said that she drownedwhile you were in her care.
94
00:06:28,096 --> 00:06:29,389
I don't like to talk about it.
95
00:06:29,473 --> 00:06:31,308
Just trying to understand.
96
00:06:31,391 --> 00:06:33,644
She drowned in front of mewhen I was nine.
97
00:06:34,770 --> 00:06:38,315
Just a little under a yearafter my mother died.
98
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:42,819
Now, I really don't like to think aboutanything from that time.
99
00:06:47,241 --> 00:06:48,992
I couldn't help my mother.
100
00:06:51,370 --> 00:06:52,871
I couldn't help Shirley.
101
00:06:52,955 --> 00:06:55,541
And that's why you've beenso crazed about this case.
102
00:06:55,624 --> 00:06:58,335
Warren is out of time.
103
00:06:59,127 --> 00:07:00,295
And so am I.
104
00:07:02,339 --> 00:07:04,258
I really need your help with Lanie.
105
00:07:07,094 --> 00:07:08,262
I'll see what I can do.
106
00:07:09,847 --> 00:07:10,848
Thank you.
107
00:07:12,558 --> 00:07:14,017
But there's a price.
108
00:07:14,852 --> 00:07:18,230
I got an offer to go backand head up my father's firm in New York.
109
00:07:18,313 --> 00:07:19,356
What? Ingram--
110
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:24,152
Poppy, I'm helping you on this oneso you can be done with this case,
111
00:07:24,236 --> 00:07:28,198
so you can get back to whatyou used to do, to how we used to be.
112
00:07:30,242 --> 00:07:33,203
That is how we get us back.
113
00:07:35,539 --> 00:07:37,416
[man] You're going down, Warren!
114
00:07:41,003 --> 00:07:42,296
[man 2] You're a dead man, Cave.
115
00:07:42,379 --> 00:07:43,714
[man 3] Better watch your back.
116
00:07:44,506 --> 00:07:48,093
[man 4] Imma watch you spit up, bro.Imma bleed you.
117
00:07:49,344 --> 00:07:51,180
[man 5] Sleep tight, princess.
118
00:07:51,263 --> 00:07:52,890
[man 6] You're fucking dead.
119
00:07:53,807 --> 00:07:55,726
[man 7] I'm gonna fuck you up, Cave.
120
00:07:57,060 --> 00:07:58,812
[man 2] I'm gonna get you.
121
00:08:07,154 --> 00:08:08,488
[Poppy] What have you got?
122
00:08:08,906 --> 00:08:12,618
Happy times,except it's missing one thing: Lanie.
123
00:08:12,701 --> 00:08:15,829
You see less and less of her in theseas the girls get older.
124
00:08:16,246 --> 00:08:18,248
There's plenty of Erin and Josie.
125
00:08:18,332 --> 00:08:19,791
Chuck and Josie.
126
00:08:19,875 --> 00:08:21,752
Does it take a picture?Why are you just holding it?
127
00:08:21,835 --> 00:08:23,754
I don't know. I have to...It's still videoing.
128
00:08:23,837 --> 00:08:25,964
-She's become an outsider.-Mm-hmm.
129
00:08:26,048 --> 00:08:27,508
[phone ringing]
130
00:08:27,591 --> 00:08:29,009
Hold that thought.
131
00:08:31,178 --> 00:08:32,261
Hey, babe, any luck?

Lanie's doctor still works at Redwood.Ian Poole.
134
00:08:37,267 --> 00:08:38,434
[Noa] Yes.
135
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:39,561
Thanks so much for this.
136
00:08:39,977 --> 00:08:43,106
Think about moving back to New York.Really think about it.
137
00:08:43,815 --> 00:08:45,734
We'll discuss it later. I promise.
138
00:08:45,817 --> 00:08:47,069
[Noa] Are you kidding me?
139
00:08:47,152 --> 00:08:50,739
For now, can we just stay focusedon Lanie Buhrman?
140
00:08:51,740 --> 00:08:52,741
Okay.
141
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:55,035
What next then?
142
00:08:55,118 --> 00:08:59,081
[alternative pop music playing]
143
00:09:34,199 --> 00:09:36,326
Josie, I'm sorry about your mom.
144
00:09:37,744 --> 00:09:39,580
[Josie] Are you? Really?
145
00:09:40,706 --> 00:09:42,749
I lost my mother when I was nine.
146
00:09:44,126 --> 00:09:48,463
And I still think about her every day.And it still breaks my heart.
147
00:09:48,547 --> 00:09:51,008
My mom died of an overdose
148
00:09:51,091 --> 00:09:54,928
right around the time you were convincingthe world that she might be a murderer.
149
00:09:55,762 --> 00:09:57,639
What could be better for your podcast?
150
00:09:57,723 --> 00:09:59,016
Finding out the truth.
151
00:10:00,142 --> 00:10:03,145
I was going to see your motherwhen she died.
152
00:10:03,228 --> 00:10:04,396
Why?
153
00:10:05,397 --> 00:10:06,940
She was going to talk.
154
00:10:07,024 --> 00:10:09,526
When I arrived at your aunt Susan's,
155
00:10:09,610 --> 00:10:12,654
the paramedics were there and your sister.
156
00:10:13,447 --> 00:10:18,619
Your mother was on a rehab drugcalled Antabuse the night of the murder.
157
00:10:19,119 --> 00:10:21,330
She wasn't passed out drunkat the party, Josie,
158
00:10:21,413 --> 00:10:23,332
she wasn't even drinking that night.
159
00:10:26,126 --> 00:10:28,170
But you knew that, didn't you?
160
00:10:28,962 --> 00:10:31,340
She never got the chanceto tell me what she knew.
161
00:10:32,216 --> 00:10:34,635
-And I don't think it was an accident.-No.
162
00:10:34,718 --> 00:10:36,220
Your sister's the one who found the body.
163
00:10:36,303 --> 00:10:38,514
Your sister's the oneyour mother supposedly called.
164
00:10:38,597 --> 00:10:39,598
Stop.
165
00:10:39,681 --> 00:10:42,768
The level of drugs in her systemdoesn't fit your usual suicide.
166
00:10:42,851 --> 00:10:45,229
-It was calibrated perfectly to be---We're done.
167
00:10:45,312 --> 00:10:47,189
I think Lanie killed your father.
168
00:10:48,941 --> 00:10:52,528
And when she found out your mother wasgoing to come clean, she killed her too.
169
00:10:54,947 --> 00:10:57,658
You're the only one left, Josie.
170
00:10:58,534 --> 00:11:01,537
Seventeen years,you cut yourself off from her.
171
00:11:04,289 --> 00:11:07,167
Changed your name,made sure she couldn't reach you.
172
00:11:08,168 --> 00:11:09,211
[Lanie] Just let go.
173
00:11:09,294 --> 00:11:10,379
[Susan's voice]What are you doing? Lanie...
174
00:11:10,462 --> 00:11:14,299
If there is even a tiny part of youthat believes any of this could be true,
175
00:11:14,383 --> 00:11:15,801

00:24:21,128 --> 00:24:23,755
She's the weak twin. There's always one.
356
00:24:23,839 --> 00:24:26,008
And you get away with all your lies.
357
00:24:26,091 --> 00:24:28,719
You lied about your father abusing you.You lied about Warren.
358
00:24:28,802 --> 00:24:30,304
I was protecting my sister.
359
00:24:30,387 --> 00:24:31,722
-Say it was you.-[scoffs]
360
00:24:31,805 --> 00:24:33,015
You're out of your mind.
361
00:24:33,098 --> 00:24:36,476
Accept the blame or Josie's gonnapay the price for what you did.
362
00:24:37,019 --> 00:24:39,897
Look, your doctor said it.You love her too much.
363
00:24:40,522 --> 00:24:42,983
So prove it. Protect her.
364
00:24:44,735 --> 00:24:47,446
You're right. That is my problem.
365
00:24:47,529 --> 00:24:51,074
I've always loved hermore than she loves me.
366
00:24:52,492 --> 00:24:57,122
I realize that now,and I have to stop putting her first.
367
00:25:03,420 --> 00:25:05,839
So, you're the onewith the decision to make, Poppy.
368
00:25:06,924 --> 00:25:08,300
It all depends on you.
369
00:25:10,802 --> 00:25:15,015
[blues music playing]
370
00:25:18,477 --> 00:25:22,105
You've been white-hot since day oneto prove Warren innocent.
371
00:25:22,189 --> 00:25:24,608
His father's dead... in your house.
372
00:25:24,691 --> 00:25:28,278
The bar got raided, Cydie got arrested,Ingram is sleeping in your guest room.
373
00:25:28,362 --> 00:25:30,322
Why are you takingyour foot off the gas now?
374
00:25:30,405 --> 00:25:33,784
Josie is a victim too, just like Warren,because of her sister.
375
00:25:33,867 --> 00:25:35,577
She won't make it in jail, Des.
376
00:25:35,994 --> 00:25:38,205
Your job is done.You did this to find the truth--
377
00:25:38,288 --> 00:25:39,498
I did this...
378
00:25:41,667 --> 00:25:43,961
to be able to put my headon my pillow at night.
379
00:25:45,504 --> 00:25:49,633
Since I was nine, Mama diedand I went to live with Miss Shirley...
380
00:25:50,634 --> 00:25:52,219
that's all I have ever wanted,
381
00:25:52,302 --> 00:25:56,014
was to be able to put my head on my pillowat night and rest easy.
382
00:25:57,808 --> 00:25:59,810
Warren brought back the unrest.
383
00:25:59,893 --> 00:26:03,605
And it will be the same thingall over again if I send Josie to prison.
384
00:26:08,485 --> 00:26:11,488
I know you're hurting. I can see it.
385
00:26:12,114 --> 00:26:15,826
But you are the only onewho can decide what to do.
386
00:26:17,995 --> 00:26:19,454
And whatever that is...
387
00:26:20,831 --> 00:26:22,207
you better be certain.
388
00:26:34,511 --> 00:26:35,554
[sighs]
389
00:26:40,559 --> 00:26:42,144
[thunder rumbles]
390
00:26:48,942 --> 00:26:52,196
[keys tapping]
391
00:27:07,711 --> 00:27:08,795
When I was growing up,
392
00:27:08,879 --> 00:27:13,300
my mother had a framed quoteon our kitchen counter.
393
00:27:13,759 --> 00:27:15,969
I took it with me when I left home.
394
00:27:16,845 --> 00:27:21,183
Subconsciously, it might have playeda role in my becoming a journalist.
395
00:27:21,266 --> 00:27:25,479
"I am for truth, no matter who tells it.
396
00:27:25,938 --> 00:27:30,776
I'm for justice,no matter who it's for or against."
397
00:27:32,110 --> 00:27:33,362
Malcolm X.
398
00:27:35,405 --> 00:27:38,116
Problem is brother Malcolm never saidwhat you're supposed to do
399
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,537
when truth and justice don't line up.
400
00:27:41,620 --> 00:27:43,372
For a moment, imagine this:
401
00:27:43,455 --> 00:27:47,918
You toss a pebble withoutmuch thought or care into the ocean.
402
00:27:48,335 --> 00:27:52,506
You move on as the ripple effectfrom that tossed stone
403
00:27:52,923 --> 00:27:56,385
creates a tidal wave on another shore.
404
00:27:56,802 --> 00:28:00,097
This podcast was that wave.
405
00:28:00,556 --> 00:28:05,519
And it was feltin every corner of every life it touched.
406
00:28:06,562 --> 00:28:08,897
It upended... no...
407
00:28:09,439 --> 00:28:13,652
I upended everythingin the pursuit of justice.
408
00:28:14,194 --> 00:28:18,991
"Justice." A word more fluidthan I ever realized.
409
00:28:19,074 --> 00:28:21,243
[Warren] I did what I had to do.
410
00:28:21,702 --> 00:28:23,412
And now I have to pay the price.
411
00:28:23,495 --> 00:28:25,539
[Poppy]Justice has meant something different
412
00:28:25,622 --> 00:28:28,959
for everyone involved with this case.
413
00:28:29,042 --> 00:28:31,003
Don't let my mother die alone.
414
00:28:31,086 --> 00:28:34,882
That was true in 1999 and it's true now.
415
00:28:37,009 --> 00:28:41,263
I set forth at the beginningof this series to find answers.
416
00:28:41,346 --> 00:28:42,764
I succeeded.
417
00:28:42,848 --> 00:28:47,895
But at what cost?To the Buhrmans, to the Caves, to myself.
418
00:28:50,564 --> 00:28:53,859
How far would I go to right a wrong?
419
00:28:53,942 --> 00:28:55,777
What would I be willing to lose?
420
00:28:55,861 --> 00:29:01,408
And who am Iif I don't risk it all to make amends?
421
00:29:02,784 --> 00:29:06,246
[woman] Friday, May 10th, 4:06 p.m.,Menlo Police Department.
422
00:29:06,663 --> 00:29:09,541
This is the recorded statementof Josephine Buhrman.
423
00:29:10,250 --> 00:29:11,418
Josie.
424
00:29:13,212 --> 00:29:14,838
Could you repeat that louder?
425
00:29:14,922 --> 00:29:16,256
Who killed your father?
426
00:29:19,676 --> 00:29:20,761
My mother.
427
00:29:22,387 --> 00:29:24,139
Your mother, Erin Buhrman?
428
00:29:24,681 --> 00:29:25,682
Yes.
429
00:29:26,725 --> 00:29:28,977
Why did your mother kill your father?
430
00:29:29,061 --> 00:29:30,854
[sobs] To protect me.
431
00:29:32,648 --> 00:29:34,316
My father...
432
00:29:36,109 --> 00:29:37,277
had been...
433
00:29:38,237 --> 00:29:41,156
sexually abusing me for years.
434
00:29:43,825 --> 00:29:46,203
[voice breaks]My mother... She found my diary.
435
00:29:48,956 --> 00:29:50,499
She read about it and...
436
00:29:51,208 --> 00:29:53,961
she just wanted to protect me.
437
00:29:55,587 --> 00:29:56,964
What did you do?
438
00:29:57,464 --> 00:30:02,386
There was this old oak tree,it's a very special place for us.
439
00:30:02,469 --> 00:30:06,348
Lanie and I went to go dig up thistime capsule from when we were little kids
440
00:30:06,431 --> 00:30:10,269
and instead we found that.
441
00:30:11,353 --> 00:30:15,524
We found her standing over his body.
442
00:30:15,607 --> 00:30:17,109
And she said... [sobs]
443
00:30:17,609 --> 00:30:19,528
She swore us to secrecy.
444
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,782
We were just scared kids.
445
00:30:23,866 --> 00:30:26,493
We were just little kids.
446
00:30:28,954 --> 00:30:32,541
I thought I told you twoto go back to bed. Hurry.
447
00:30:39,089 --> 00:30:41,133
Why didn't you tell the police this20 years ago?
448
00:30:42,217 --> 00:30:43,844
Because I didn't remember.
449
00:30:43,927 --> 00:30:47,598
[man] Detective, my client has beendiagnosed with recovered memories.
450
00:30:47,681 --> 00:30:49,808
These are memories unconsciously blocked
451
00:30:49,892 --> 00:30:52,519
due to the high level of stressof the event in question.
452
00:30:53,270 --> 00:30:57,107
Recent events around her familyappear to have reactivated them.
453
00:30:59,985 --> 00:31:01,945
And your testimony to the police?
454
00:31:02,029 --> 00:31:03,864
[sniffles, sobs]
455
00:31:03,947 --> 00:31:05,490
My mother coached me.
456
00:31:06,283 --> 00:31:07,576
[Erin] Go ahead.
457
00:31:10,954 --> 00:31:11,997
Say it.
458
00:31:12,789 --> 00:31:14,917
Yes, it was Warren.
459
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,001
[man] Warren Cave?
460
00:31:17,544 --> 00:31:18,545

00:31:20,631 --> 00:31:21,840
[sighs, sniffles]
462
00:31:21,924 --> 00:31:23,675
To be perfectly clear,
463
00:31:24,259 --> 00:31:26,845
you did not see Warren Cavego over the fence?
464
00:31:29,389 --> 00:31:30,516
No.
465
00:31:31,266 --> 00:31:35,562
So your testimony about Warren Cave20 years ago was false?
466
00:31:38,315 --> 00:31:39,316
Yes.
467
00:31:48,075 --> 00:31:49,326
[man] Open 32.
468
00:31:50,452 --> 00:31:52,204
Let's go, Cave. You're free.
469

[prisoners clamoring]
470
00:32:10,806 --> 00:32:15,269
[Poppy] Nineteen years ago,I wrote about Warren Cave.
471
00:32:16,270 --> 00:32:18,689
Nineteen years ago,I saw nothing but race.
472
00:32:18,772 --> 00:32:20,274
Mine and his.
473
00:32:29,992 --> 00:32:32,411
His life, my life,
474
00:32:32,828 --> 00:32:35,581
viewed solely through the prism of race.
475
00:32:38,125 --> 00:32:39,334
How do you go on
476
00:32:39,418 --> 00:32:42,963
when the truth that catches you...
477
00:32:44,256 --> 00:32:46,466
irrevocably scars your soul?
478
00:32:46,550 --> 00:32:49,678
[buzzer sounds]
479
00:32:49,761 --> 00:32:53,348
How do you rekindle that spark for life
480
00:32:53,432 --> 00:32:57,227
when fate extinguished it years ago?
481
00:33:31,553 --> 00:33:35,682
How do you find the will to press forward
482
00:33:35,766 --> 00:33:38,519
when you don't even knowwhat you're pressing towards?
483
00:34:10,967 --> 00:34:12,219
Hi, Mom.
484
00:34:13,929 --> 00:34:14,929
It's me.
485
00:34:42,331 --> 00:34:43,375
I...
486
00:34:45,627 --> 00:34:48,255
love you too.
487

[Melanie sighs]
489
00:35:13,488 --> 00:35:15,574
If I'm for justice,
490
00:35:15,991 --> 00:35:19,578
no matter who it's for or against,
491
00:35:20,454 --> 00:35:25,250
has justice, in this case,truly been served?
492
00:35:36,428 --> 00:35:38,138
So, are you still planning on staying?
493
00:35:39,348 --> 00:35:40,349
I'd like to.
494
00:35:42,601 --> 00:35:44,269
You're all I've got left.
495
00:35:47,773 --> 00:35:51,235
Do you remember these? These little rings.
496
00:35:51,318 --> 00:35:53,779
They made me feel close to youall these years.
497
00:36:03,372 --> 00:36:06,542
I thought after 20 yearsI finally understood Mom.
498
00:36:06,959 --> 00:36:10,504
That she was trying,trying to be a good mother...
499
00:36:12,714 --> 00:36:15,926
but she was going totell Poppy everything, wasn't she?
500
00:36:19,137 --> 00:36:20,848
The pressure just got to her.
501
00:36:22,599 --> 00:36:26,603
That's why you gave her the pills. For me.
502
00:36:32,192 --> 00:36:36,029
Yes, I mean, everything I do is for you.
503
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:38,490
Always.
504
00:36:40,158 --> 00:36:43,036
I love you more than you love me,remember?
505
00:36:53,338 --> 00:36:55,799
You're right, but it's impossible, Lanie.
506
00:36:56,550 --> 00:36:57,843
You're too sick.
507
00:36:58,677 --> 00:36:59,970
Poppy was right.
508
00:37:01,138 --> 00:37:02,139
[man] Lanie Dunn?
509
00:37:02,222 --> 00:37:05,559
[police radio chattering]
510
00:37:05,642 --> 00:37:06,643
Josie.
511
00:37:06,727 --> 00:37:08,687
You're under arrestfor the murder of Erin Buhrman.
512
00:37:08,770 --> 00:37:10,272
-Wait. Josie.-Hands behind your back.
513
00:37:10,355 --> 00:37:11,607
Josie. Josie.
514
00:37:12,608 --> 00:37:13,609
Josie!
515
00:37:14,401 --> 00:37:16,028
[Poppy] So, is this justice?
516
00:37:16,111 --> 00:37:20,282
Did I do more harm than goodwith this journey into the past?
517
00:37:20,824 --> 00:37:22,242
For that one... [chuckles]
518
00:37:23,869 --> 00:37:25,037
Well...
519
00:37:26,079 --> 00:37:29,499
the verdict on me will likely berendered by...
520
00:37:31,001 --> 00:37:32,461
the jury in heaven.
521
00:37:33,629 --> 00:37:35,839
[doorbell rings]
522
00:37:40,469 --> 00:37:42,679
Markus. What are you doing here?
523
00:37:43,931 --> 00:37:45,182
Can I come in?
524
00:37:45,641 --> 00:37:46,683
Yeah.
525
00:37:47,184 --> 00:37:51,522
So, your sister, Desiree,
526
00:37:51,605 --> 00:37:55,108
she told me you're moving to New York.
527
00:37:55,192 --> 00:37:56,401
Is that true?
528
00:37:56,485 --> 00:37:58,570
Yeah, it looks like it. But...
529
00:37:58,654 --> 00:38:00,989
Well, it's probablyfor the best anyway, huh?
530
00:38:01,073 --> 00:38:03,617
That's what Ingram wants,but I don't know.
531
00:38:05,577 --> 00:38:08,205
Well, you know,if it makes it any easier...
532
00:38:09,331 --> 00:38:10,999
I was gonna call this a wrap anyway.
533
00:38:11,625 --> 00:38:12,626
What?
534
00:38:13,710 --> 00:38:15,045
The investigating.
535
00:38:16,129 --> 00:38:19,800
You know,you and me doing our thing together.
536
00:38:21,343 --> 00:38:25,639
You know, when I saw you at the barat your father's party,
537
00:38:26,431 --> 00:38:29,893
-standing there looking beautiful...-[laughs]
538
00:38:29,977 --> 00:38:32,187
...dripping in all kindsof jewels and money...
539
00:38:34,690 --> 00:38:36,859
I rememberedhow much I used to love you...
540
00:38:38,694 --> 00:38:40,320
how much I still love you.
541
00:38:43,615 --> 00:38:45,075
-Markus.-No.
542
00:38:46,869 --> 00:38:48,871
And I was a knuckleheadwhen we were together.
543
00:38:48,954 --> 00:38:51,915
A young punkwho thought he knew everything.
544
00:38:52,916 --> 00:38:58,172
But I didn't know that a womanwho gives you all of her heart
545
00:38:58,672 --> 00:39:01,300
is a rare and elusive thing.
546
00:39:03,510 --> 00:39:05,762
Well, I know that now. [laughs]
547
00:39:08,682 --> 00:39:10,058
But now it's too late.
548
00:39:12,102 --> 00:39:13,729
And, you know, Ingram, he a...
549
00:39:15,856 --> 00:39:17,107
he's a solid dude.
550
00:39:18,775 --> 00:39:23,155
And I would never ever do anythingto disrupt your life ever.
551
00:39:24,907 --> 00:39:30,120
So, this is me... out.
552
00:39:42,299 --> 00:39:46,512
[door opens, closes]
553
00:39:51,934 --> 00:39:56,855
[Poppy] On the first episode I told youthis show would be different.
554
00:39:56,939 --> 00:40:00,567
That this show would benot just about Warren Cave,
555
00:40:00,651 --> 00:40:03,237
but also about me.
556
00:40:04,738 --> 00:40:06,448
So the question becomes...
557
00:40:08,075 --> 00:40:11,119
Who am I on this side of the journey?
558
00:40:12,496 --> 00:40:17,042
Have I finally become the real me...
559
00:40:19,503 --> 00:40:22,923
or has the real Poppy Parnellburrowed deep down...
560
00:40:24,591 --> 00:40:26,468
even deeper inside?
561
00:40:29,179 --> 00:40:33,183
Only time, the next challenge,the next adversity,
562
00:40:33,267 --> 00:40:37,896
the next brush with fate will tell.
563
00:40:41,233 --> 00:40:42,860
I am Poppy Parnell.
564
00:40:45,237 --> 00:40:46,738
Thank you for listening.
565
00:40:46,822 --> 00:40:50,033
