the big thing. >> the pressure was on the car sales man. he texted kelly to meet in their usual spot. he had three photos and ready to show her. we coached them ahead of time. no matter what happens, she is going to say we want to take these pictures to ira. we want ira to come out. no matter what happens, you make sure the pictures stay with you. >> everyone was in place, waiting. kelly was late. finally she showed. >> i am so sorry, i have been all over. >> with his heart pounding, mackenzy showed her the photos. >> he wants to make sure he's not going to come to work with a broken leg next week. >> she seems satisfied and just as the detectives predicted, kelly asked to take the photos

to show ira. >> come on, that's better for him. >> the sales man followed the detectives' instruction perfectly, he came with an idea all on his own. he knew law enforcement wanted ira so we told kelly to call him. >> hello, how are you? >> you want to speak with me? i can show it to her but i don't want to give it to her. he suggested to ira that he can swing by the office to show the photos in person. >> we'll come through the office in the parking lot. >> listen, you are the boss, you know? >> okay. >> all right, i will be outside. >> it sounded like the perfect

plan but is there really ever such a thing? >> coming up, did the sting just get stung? >> are you on the edge of your seat when he's pointing to that camera? >> this is it, we are done. ♪ when you don't get enough sleep, and your body aches, you're not yourself. tylenol® pm relieves pain and helps you fall fast asleep and stay asleep. we give you a better night, you're a better you all day. and for your daytime pain relief, try tylenol® extra strength. my she shed has rules. no shoes, no bra, no guilt. yes cheesecake. fiber one cheesecake all mine.

have been beaten up. >> we called the hospital. >> so what you want me to do? >> so now he's worried about what now? >> maybe it is a set up or something. >> despite all of her reservations, kelly finally gave an answer about the hit on susan bernste bernstein. >> okay, we don't hear any answer because she's holding up the phone, she typed the word yes so she was not going to say it. >> it did not matter. detectives had confirmation and ira and kelly were in and the date were set. they believe susan would be run over four days later on

thursday, may 5th, c de mayo. >> once kelly says yes, the investigation is in part complete. >> how did it go down? was it like a s.w.a.t. situation or a couple of officers? >> it was two officers who approached her. >> she was shocked. i went to the door and i said, i believe you know what it is going to be about. >> when they brought kelly in a police station, there was another staged hollywood moment. they handcuffed mackenzy and put him in a holding room. she saw him in there and i saw her eyes meeting his eyes, supposed the hit man is arrested. >> do you have any weapons. >> they were hoping she would point the fingers at ira. >> be honest, was that your money or ira's money? >> kelly, i understand. >> i know you love him, i understand that. >> kelly, do yourself a favor, be honest.

is that bad to be honest? >> i will be honest, i love him. a few hours later on his way home from dinner in the city, ira was pulled over and arrested. >> she was so nervous, he was shaken away. i think he said my life is over. i will never practice again. >> ira and kelly were charged of conspiracy and solicitation committing murder. the couple has a very different version. > >> coming up, the killers say they were victims, too. i saw someone that i love being hurt and it was not going to come to an end, he made it clear that we were going to be fed to alligators if we did not go through with this. when "dateline" continues.
