Case 39 Page #5

- Bye.

- You don't think they're crazy.

Well, I'm coming around.

- I love you.

- Love you, too.

- Wayne's looking for you.

- Okay.

- Wayne wants to see you.

- Yeah, I got it.

What's up with Diego?

Oh, hey.

Look, why don't we go talk in my office.

No, tell me what's going on.

Well, we don't... We don't know why yet

but he killed both his parents last night.

- Excuse me... Go ahead.

- Officer, let her through.

What happened?

Gets a tyre iron from the garage,

comes back inside,

locks all the doors and windows,

and kills them in their sleep.

"Slaughters" would be a better word.

Oh, my God!

A 10-year-old did this? There's no way.

I was there when they brought him in.

Took three guys to subdue him.

And the kid was climbing the walls.

Man's best friend, huh?

What happened?

Tell me what happened.

I killed my mom and dad.

Every family you sit down with,

every day of every week,

it's a family in crisis.

Those are your odds. Well,

that's your job, trying to beat them.

You're one person, Em.

You can't save the world.

I know somebody you did save.

Yeah.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

It's just work. Don't worry.

- I think you have a hard job.

- So do I.

People have kids and then they decide

they don't want to be parents.

And then the kids grow up

thinking it's their fault.

Is that what your parents did?

You said you were alone.

Yeah.

I never met my dad.

And my mom... My mom had problems.

- She must have scared you.

- Why do you say that?

You don't like to talk about it.

You're a clever little girl.

Sweetheart. Breakfast.

What you got?

Let me see.

You went through my things?

I'm sorry. I wanted to know about you.

Is that your mother?

What happened to her?

She died when I was about your age.

- How?

- An accident.

It was raining

and she was driving too fast.

We had an accident.

Are you mad at me?

No, I'm not mad at you.

But I need you

not to do that again, okay?

Go through my private things

without asking.

Okay? All right.

Omelette's getting cold. Better hurry.

You watch, six months,

their lawyer will hire an expert

to say they're rehabbed and they'll sue

for custody when they get out.

She's not going back there.

I'll take her out of the state

before I let them near her again.

Didn't hear you say that.

You guys okay?

We're great. She's sweet,

very intuitive about everything.

You wanted to talk about something?

We pulled the Ramirezes'

phone records.

There was a call that night

before the murder.

- From who?

- The call came from your house, Emily.

What?

I'm not accusing you of anything,

I just want to know what was said.

But that's impossible.

I mean, I might have called them
