this poor lady was in a coma for two weeks prior to her death. certificate says "natural causes," but i have my doubts because... ew, what is that? it's the cap to a nasal-spray bottle, detective. i'm guessing someone shoved this down this woman's throat, and she choked to death on it. i don't see anything natural about that.

6:35 pm
here you go, chief. oh, thank you. you exhumed five bodies?! i'm sorry. it is crunch time for doris osgood, and for your information, three of those bodies appear to have died under suspicious circumstances. and you can connect osgood to those cases? well, we're trying to. lieutenant provenza. well, let's start way back at the beginning. insurance companies like to do background checks on anybody who has access to the valuables of their richest clients. housekeepers, gardeners... or nurses. exactly. now, in each of the cases of potential murder here, uh, all of the families had different insurance companies. but each company contracted background checks with the same security analyst. and that security analyst's name is sam osgood. doris osgood's son. we found him because he's the same guy who returned ms. casey's stolen monet. you think sam osgood is his mother's accomplice.
6:36 pm
he's the reason that the people for whom she worked never reported anything missing. sam osgood covered it up. except with billings, where it looks like his mom was flying solo. and that's the change in doris' m.o. -- she stopped working with her son! none of which proves murder. chief, i got doris osgood in interview 1. oh, thank you so much, detective. whoa. what is she doing here? we're hoping that, with a little encouragement, mrs. osgood might confess again. what -- what kind of encour-- wow. morning, fellas. chief johnson. there's the george that i remember. and there's the louie i miss. uh, detective gabriel, if you wouldn't mind, let's get ready to bring mr. osgood into the electronics room, please. what exactly makes this different from taking the stand, detective? i'm not perjuring myself in the interview room, chief. it's just a little undercover work. uh-huh, and what makes you think that... george can get your confession? let's call it women's intuition.
6:37 pm
[ provenza laughs ] yeah. doris, nice to see you again. don't even think about it. you remember lieutenant provenza. listen [sighs] what happened seven years ago, how i led you on -- i-i-i really do apologize. [ chuckling ] i know you're much too smart to fall for that kind of thing again. oh, those eyes -- just as beautiful as i remember. and you're still full of crap. my son said you didn't work here anymore. and yet here i am. how have you been? lonely... ...like you care. these past seven years -- you have no idea. i do. you've been in prison for a long time, and people look at you like, uh, you're someone you're not.
6:38 pm
you have no opportunity just to be yourself. doris, i can relate. can we move this along, please? oh -- look, you can't question me about the billings case without my lawyers present. we want to talk to you about an entirely different matter. like what? oh, come on, doris. we know that billings wasn't your first target. lieutenant. i mean -- i mean -- lieutenant, please. you've been running this nurse scam for years. mr. osgood, thank you so much for coming in. we thought you might like to see this. we've got you nailed on at least five other incidents. this is not constructive. my mother? we know about the agency. where's her lawyer? we know about the art thefts. we talked about this. well, we do! have a seat, mr. osgood. we're about to drop the billings case. we told your mother that before we read her her rights. please! we know about the identity theft! i don't know what you're trying to pull here. just a second. doris, i'm sorry. why don't you give us a minute? [ chuckles ] [ door closes ] he can be a real jerk. i apologize.
6:39 pm
that's him -- that's the cop she confessed to last time. you said he didn't work here anymore. he doesn't. doris, you should know that i actually think that the other five thefts we've discovered are good news for you and your lawyers. "good news." how? this guy's unbelievable. she's not gonna fall for the same lies again. when you told me that you killed charles billings seven years ago, you sold your story like a pro, but just between you and me, i think you were only trying to protect your son. what? now, i know you love sam. you think he's been in your corner for this retrial, but when he offered up the information about all those people that you robbed while impersonating a nurse... why, i never... sam wouldn't make up things like that. that's a lie. he's lying to her! what are you talking about? your son is trying to bury you, doris... is he? ...make us put you away for good so he can keep all the money. he got you those jobs.
6:40 pm
he -- he picked the artwork for you to steal. and then sam fenced it -- isn't that right? you're a loving, trusting mother exploited by a psychotic child who's selling you out for his own gain. no. no. that can't be true. doris... how would i know about all this if sam hadn't told me? i'm truly sorry that i helped put you in prison, so, please, help me set you free. after all i gave up for him. [ breathes deeply ] when he came up with this plan, i -- well, i knew it was wrong. what is she saying? when he was working for the insurance company. oh, my god. yeah. they'd hired him to do background checks.
6:41 pm
i was so proud of him at first. background checks? on whom, exactly? employees of their wealthy clients. as a security analyst, he -- he'd have access to people's homes, and... [ sniffles ] and when he found a rich person who, uh, had home care -- and, i mean, who else could afford it? -- he'd pretend that someone on the nursing staff was a security risk and get them fired, and then... well, he would refer the family to this agency that he'd set up. which was a sham, correct? i was the only one there. and with his position, he was... able to steal me new identities. [ sniffles ] ohh, i didn't want to do it, i swear, but when it started, he told me at first that i was just [sniffles]
6:42 pm
finally gonna get to be a nurse. my own mother. i can't believe it. good. that's so good. [ chuckles ] um, just, um... write down what we talked about. okay. and, uh... we're gonna put an end to this. okay. yeah. you know you have absolutely nothing to hold me on. because your mother thought up the whole thing, didn't she? she convinced you to get her jobs in rich people's homes, and once she was in, she stole what she wanted and demanded that you fence it for her. you! hey! hey, whoa, whoa! [ gasps ] you may want to rethink this, sonny. [ chuckling ]
6:43 pm
[ chuckling ] you know what? it doesn't make any difference what any of you believe, because we're more than 7 years out on all these crimes, and as a professional security analyst, i'm happy to inform you that the statute of limitations ran out on these so-called "thefts" a long time ago. on the thefts, yes, but not on the murders. murders. what murders? hey. billings -- that's still just his word against hers. besides, i wasn't even working with her. she's not talking about billings. she's talking about all the other people that died under your mother's care. they were old. it's called natural causes. i have evidence to the contrary, mr. osgood. pope: and from what your mother just told us, it shouldn't be too hard to convince a jury that you were responsible for several other murders, also. u-unless -- unless your mother was the one who killed those people. come on. what do you want from me? i can't. she's my mom.
6:44 pm
who just rolled on you. what are you protecting her for? it's either you or her. all right, then. detective, would you take mr. osgood downstairs and book him -- no. no, wait. okay. okay. she killed her patients... all right? she killed her patients. and when she got away with it the first time, it -- it just got easier for her. who? who did she kill? the ones who got suspicious. i don't remember their names. one she strangled. breaking her neck in the process? she, uh, stuffed something down the second one's throat. well, that would be a nasal-spray cap. and pushed the third one down the stairs. that'd be ms. casey's father. and after his daughter called me, all suspicious... about the monet that your mother stole? which i had to pull back from my fence and return to the family,
6:45 pm
i realized that she'd gone too far. i wanted out. i... i told her to stop. but she couldn't, so she went on without me. [ sighs ] and just like i thought, she got caught after murdering that poor mr. billings. oh, my god. very good, mr. osgood. i know how difficult that must have been. detective, would you please take mr. osgood downstairs and book him for -- what? book me? you can't hold me on those thefts. true, but i'm sure they'll come up at your murder trial. that was my mother! and you were her partner and aware of her actions. but i didn't kill them myself! well, mr. osgood, as one "professional" to another, i'm happy to inform you that the law doesn't see it that way. detective.
6:46 pm

6:56 pm
no, but i can tell exactly what you did after you got home. you poured a glass of wine, you had some popcorn... ...and fell asleep watching the tv. [ joel meows ] oh. ha. let me ask you a question. are your shoes afraid of the dark? no. then could you put them in the closet, please? and is it too much to ask to at least put your dirty dishes in the sink after you use them? i worked a 14-hour day yesterday. i was really tired when i got home. i'll straighten up now. why are you so mad? i just told you.

[ ringing continues ] [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] come in. sorry, will. i -- oh. captain raydor. hi. chief johnson. thanks for taking time to join us this morning. i left just as soon as i -- sit. sit. [ clears throat ] captain raydor has come to me with a, uh, delicate situation involving one of her detectives in force investigation division. before we begin to discuss this issue, chief, i would like you and your division
6:58 pm
to keep this investigation into detective moore's private life entirely confidential. who's detective moore? w-wait a minute. i can't promise confidentiality unless i know exactly what it is that you're asking me to do. [ clears throat ] a few weeks ago, captain raydor began to notice changes in one of her detectives, ally moore. what kind of changes? um, detective moore became gradually more anxious, unfocused, and then this morning, i -- this morning, i noticed some bruises on the back of her neck and her arm, and when i asked her about them, she told me she had fallen. but you didn't believe her. the bruises were inconsistent with her explanation, and, no, i do not believe her, and i am worried about her safety. all right, then. so i should talk to her. um, before you do, i'm trying to avoid creating problems,
6:59 pm
and if i'm -- if i'm overreacting to what i saw, if i'm wrong about this -- but if you're right, then this is an assault on one of our employees, which cannot be ignored and which captain raydor should not investigate on her own. so i would like major crimes to discreetly examine the life of detective moore and report back to me. i-i can't start a criminal investigation unless she files a complaint of some kind. i was hoping, chief, that maybe you would be able to see past the obstacles in this particular situation. the obstacles that you're talking about are the justice system, and i can't create charges out of thin air -- i need evidence! of course you do, but you can easily do an oblique interview with that husband. i'm sorry. w-who's in charge of this investigation? you are. captain raydor, i promise you that chief johnson will pursue this inquiry vigorously, but let's leave to her the when and where she will approach the husband. in the meantime, we will tread very lightly here. is that clear? of course.
