this a**hole's

not gonna skate off on

a second-degree charge

is to have someone

back up intent,

and clearly his target,

the waitress --

common-law wife, concubine,

whatever --

you can bet

she'd have a thing or two

to say about premeditation

if she ever actually

pulls through this.

Two shots to the head, you can't

count on it at this point.

What we do have now

is a witness appears

who's tucked in a corner booth

out of the guy's eyeline.

Guy never saw him.

Now, I'll be talking to him.

But what he's laying out

lines up right with

the detective's scenario.

Which is?

Which is the wife

was the only server

on the floor at the time,

stations were empty.

She was refilling Diana's cup

at the counter

when the husband approached

and shot them both.

Diana was killed.

The wife took two shots

to the head.

The guy was caught on

the premises with the gun.

And in seven years,

he could walk.

And that's the difference

between second-degree

and life without parole.

Now, there's something else we

need to discuss at this point.

This may be a capital case,

a death-penalty case.

I need to know your feelings.

Jesus.

JoJo?

Oh, Christ.

I don't kn-- I don't know.

I -- Christ.

Ben?

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

I just want it over.

No, no.

I want him eviscerated.

I want him strung up

and ripped apart.

-- Christ, Ben.

-- What, Josephine?

She asked.

She asked, so I'm telling her.

-- We never agreed to that.

-- We never had to.

ls it -- Do we really need

to decide this now?

Right?

Excuse me.

lt's ultimately the decision

of the D.A.'s office,

however, your feelings

influence that decision.

I just want you to be aware that

if we decide to go for death,

it may not be so easy to do.

What is the death penalty

here?

Gas.

Sh*t.

Uh, is it --

is it better for us if he --

if he, uh -- if he shot

our daughter first?

Christ, Ben.

I'm afraid that --

that may be hard to prove.

I mean, what kind of a guy

is that who would do that?

He -- He --

He had to kill somebody.

ls he that crazy?

W-Why didn't he just shoot

his wife first?

Why did he have to kill

our daughter?

Because she was there.

We have your numbers.

Feel free to call.

Call me at any time.

What is it?

lt's like we're all waiting

for something to happen.

Good night.

Good night, Joe.

Don't you worry about us.

We're okay.

Okay.

Joe?

Say it, Joe.

-- Joe. Joe.

-- What?

I-I need some help.

I think we forgot something.

W-What is it?

The invitations.

We forgot the wedding

invitations.

I didn't call the shop.

They had the master guest list.

The plan was they were gonna

just send them out directly.

Well, d-don't you think --
