talking him and watching him walk around the clubhouse with a big smile on his face. you would think we're 2 games up. i don't think he's changed anything. >> reporter: ortiz hasn't gotten much help from some of the young stars in the lineup. jackie bradley, jr., and hasn't done too much. >> we and we have to be that guy instead of being somebody else. you know? and it could be nerves. i'm not exactly sure because it's a lot of guys' first time with playoffs and all. now we're 2 games in. i think we know what we need to do. >> reporter: meanwhile when you look at it, all is right in patriots nation. we know that. after tom brady made his highly anticipated return to the

fashion, for 406 yards and 3 touchdowns over cleveland. next up, they're against the bengals at gillette stadium. be sure to stick around for much more in sports. at 6:00, we'll take you inside the locker room. back to you guys in the studio. but first, i was watching david ortiz just a few minutes ago in batting practice. it's the best i've seen him hit for quite a while. he's been tired from ceremony after ceremo. the ball coming off the bat as good as solid. looking as good as i've seen in a while. we'll see if that carries into game 3. the red sox really need him back. >> you'll probably get a pretty good speech from ortiz from the locker room before the game. but that will speak the loudest, hopefully. fans excited to see what the sox will do. >> when they come home, they play so well. we don't want it to be his last

at fenway. julie? >> david, lisa, the pressure is on! and dare i say it, it would appear some people here are cracking under it. more than a few people. believe it or not, are telling us they actually think this is the end of the line for the team and ortiz. >> today's program for the red sox games, guys, $1 here! >> you have to win it. i don't think you have to think beyond that. >> reporter: nervous? >> of i'm a nervous wreck. >> reporter: what were you watching? what's on your shirt? >> david ortiz. >> reporter: it's a big game for him, isn't it? >> yes. >> reporter: why? >> because this is his final game. >> reporter: maybe! maybe! >> well, maybe, yeah. maybe. >> reporter: he also thinks this may be his last game. what do you think? >> it's probably going to be poppy's last game. >> reporter: no! >> unfortunately, cleveland is just a better team. >> we're going home winners tonight! >> reporter: you're pretty

>> reporter: why? >> because we have a 2-0 lead and we won the finals. >> reporter: what about david ortiz? >> i'm excited to see him in his last game. >> reporter: you're that confident? last game? >> yes. >> reporter: come on!!! please tell me you don't think this is his last game. >> i don't think so. i think we'll go all the way. >> he won three years ago against the yankers 3-1 and came back and won it. so that's it. just a 3-game series, right? >> reporter: so not everyone here is a pessimist. we met several sox fans who traveled hundreds of miles to be here from out of state. they all tell me they fully expect a win tonight and this series to go on. reporting live at fenway. apologies -- >> i'm very embarrassed by it. i hate it. but it's locker room talk. >> that was a mistake.

using a personal e-mail account. >> attacks -- >> i am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation. >> it's awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. >> reporter: -- and the backlash. the candidates come out swinging during the second presidential debate. and perhaps, the most powerful republican, pa trump's campaign. ryan saying he will no longer defend trump nor campaign for him. ryan's move comes as dozens of other republican lawmakers announce that they will not vote for trump. in fact, some want him to drop out. >> donald trump says he would never do that. and in fact, with 28 days to go, trump and clinton are packing their days with appearances. ? [ music ] ? >> reporter: donald trump returned to the campaign trail in pennsylvania to a vowed that still loves him.

trump and hillary clinton met in a debate that was tense from the start. trump tried to dismiss the uproar of an explosive 2005 recording of vulgar comments he made about women. >> this was locker room talk. i'm not proud of it. i apologize to my family. i apologize to the american people. >> reporter: what we all -- >> what we all saw and heard on friday was donald women; what he thinks about women, what he does to women. >> reporter: trump says if he becomes president, he'll order a special prosecutor to investigate clinton's use of a private e-mail server as secretary of state. >> it's good someone like donald trump is not a president. >> because you'd be in jail. >> this is just donald trump trying to intimidate hillary,

debate from anything but himself. >> reporter: but trump himself continued to be the focus today when house speaker paul ryan effectively conceded that hillary clinton will win the white house. he says he'll focus on saving house seats and make sure clinton doesn't get a blank check. >> what's the effect of this move today by the speaker of the house? >> it signals continued exodus from the trump republican candidates and incumbents. it could be significant for both sides in positive and negative ways. politics are fun, right? he ridiculed trump. a big part of his rise to the nomination was his willingness to go after the gop establishment as part of his antiwashington critique. but trump long ago consolidated the backing of those antiestablishment

and the question is, how many of them will see the distancing of party leaders from trump as confirmation of their own reluctant backup. what about hillary clinton? she would be wise to hold off on the celebration or at least keep it private. the prime motivation for many republicans who don't like trump's style but are backing him an antipathy to hillary clinton. one more thing about those polls, you never want to peek too soon for fear your own course supporters will assume it's all locked up. you don't want people deenergized, if you will, or heaven forbid staying home from the polls. >> that seems to be a real risk, i think, right now for hillary clinton. she's up in the polls. but we all know based on the way this campaign has been that could change. >> it could change on a dime,

polls. this race is far from ohm. the margins we've seen open up for hillary clinton have been more about erosion of trump support rather than any real strong groundswell for her. that could change. but for now, she has to be careful. and show does he. >> a lot of people into that debate last night wondering what they saw. >> never a dull moment. we'll say that. >> thank you, john. there's one more debate. it's next week, wednesday october 19th. and our live coverage will begin on wbz at 9:00. david? thank you. under arrest tonight, these two people in custody wanted in a violent murder in the quiet town of orange. it took three days for police to catch up with the suspects who police say were on the run in virginia. they're accused of killing an elderly man, injuring his wife, and taking off in their car. paul burton has the latest tonight from orange. >> reporter: police arrested 23-
