Kenny!

(CROWD CHEERING)

BETTY:
(WHISPERING)

He's awake.

(GURGLING)

(MOUTHING)

(WHISPERING) Betty Anne.

He won't let go

of my hand.

You keep waking him up because

you keep checking on him.

You gotta calm down. Babe.

I don't want to turn out

like my mother.

Oh, baby.

(PHONE RINGING)

Oh, sh*t. Quiet.

Hello?

Oh, no.

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

Benjamin Davenport,

beloved father,

grandfather and

great-grandfather,

was a hard-working man who

always put his family first.

Devoted to his wife, Eliza,

until the day she died,

his daughter, Elizabeth,

and all his grandchildren.

When times

were roughest,

Benjamin made sure there

was food on the table.

Can I help you,

Officer?

OFFICER:

Excuse me, Father.

Kenneth Waters,

you're under arrest.

What?

What?

We need you

to come with us.

Can't it wait? Show some respect!

It's my grandfather's funeral.

Now, Mr. Waters.

Please, can't it just wait

until after the funeral?

All right, okay. I'm coming.

Just take care of Mandy.

Okay.

Okay, I'm coming.

I'm coming, all right?

Please, can't this wait?

KENNY:

What's this for?

Just until after the funeral.

Come on, guys.

Give me a break over here.

What is this for?

A goddamn parking ticket?

What the f***?

Kenneth Waters,

you're under arrest

for the murder of Katharina Brow.

Are you out of your

f***ing mind?

You let me off

two years ago!

We got you now.

Look, these lawyers

want 25,000 up front.

(SCOFFS) 25 grand?

If I had 25 grand,

I'd buy a f***ing yacht.

This is a joke.

They got nothing on me!

They arrested you

for murder.

They must think

they have something.

No. The police

are f***ing with me.

A public defender

will be fine.

Hey, come on,

you're gonna get wrinkles.

Cops are drawn to me like

bees to honey, you know that.

I have a gift.

Yeah, some gift.

Hey, don't worry.

They got nothing.

It's gonna be okay.

He had a scratch on his face.

On the morning of

February 21, 1980,

he came home with

a scratch on his face?

Yes. Right here.

For the record,

you're showing them

just below the eye

to just below your lip?

Right

Did you have an argument with Mr.

Waters in July, 1980,

five months after the murder?

Yeah, he tried throwing me

out a second-floor window.

And at some point during the argument,

did he say something to you?

I asked him if he

killed that Woman.

He said, "Yeah,

what's it to you?"

FAHEY:
Ms.

Marsh, can you please tell the jury,

why did you wait more than

two years to tell the police

that Kenny said

he had killed Mrs. Brow?

I was afraid of him.

I thought he'd kill me, too.

(WHISPERS)

What is she doing to him?

I show you, Ms. Marsh, what's

marked as Exhibit number 64,
