what you in here for, man? Show me your booking slip. Your booking slip,

that pink piece of paper they gave you

when you got in this place! Come on, put it

through the bars, man!

Let me see it now! Come on, let me see, man!

Come on! Come a little closer, man!

Come on! Come on, bring it closer!

Closer! Closer! Give me that! Whoa! Goddamn! 56 counts of 288-C! This guy got 56 counts

of child molestation! Goddamn! Hey! You must be

that guy on the news! Buckey! Buckey!

(inmates banging bars) Buckey! McMartin,

that's you, ain't it?

Goddamn! (inmates shouting, banging) Open! Open! Get out! What the hell's

the matter with you?! What are you starting

in here, huh? (inmates shouting) Morning, guys. Whoop! Whoa. Okay. Congratulations.

I hear they had

to move you into the Celebrity Wing

with Sean Penn,

the Ninja Brothers and the Night Stalker.

I'm Danny Davis,

your new attorney. Kelly couldn't stand the heat,

so he got out of the kitchen. Thank you. Sam, thank you.

Come on. Chop-chop. Attorney/client privilege.

Shut the door. Don't worry, kid.

I'm the best there is. I haven't left anybody

in jail yet. Come on, guys.

Give me a break,

will ya? Come on! Geez. Everybody's watchin'

your cage. So here's the deal.

You don't talk to anybody. Not anybody.

You don't say you did it.

You don't say you didn't do it. You just don't talk.

(handcuffs rattle) What...? Why am I here?

I didn't do anything. Well, congratulations again.

You'll be the first

innocent client I ever had. No one in my family

has ever been arrested. This will kill them.

Well... Are you kidding

with those glasses? You look like

a child molester. Get rid of them or it's

gonna be a short trial. Satz:

This is a mind-boggling case. Not only has Ray Buckey

been taken into custody, but now they're

arresting his mother, 57-year-old "Miss Peggy," as she is called by children. Hoag:

Step back, please. Satz:

They're arresting

Peggy Ann Buckey, who is Virginia McMartin's

granddaughter

and Ray Buckey's sister, at Kennedy High School

in Newport Beach. Put your hands

behind your back, ma'am. You don't have to do it

in front of the kids. Excuse me.

Satz:

They also arrested 62-year-old teacher

Betty Raidor as she was returning

with her granddaughter

from a stroll. Okay, move your

shoulder in first. Satz:

Mary Ann Jackson, 60,

mother of four, and grandmother of five. Babette Spitler,

mother of two who had once worked

helping abused children. And, amazingly enough,

the grand jury also indicted the 76-year-old owner

of the McMartin School,

Virginia McMartin. I said stop this right now! Oh! Danny:

Hello, my name

is Danny Davis. I'll be representing you

for the bail hearing. Why are we here? How can the police do this? You're here
