it's not stephen cooke. >> i was so excited for my brother. i was just so happy. finally put this behind him. >> reporter: two years later, in march 2014, both stephen and heidi's families converged on the baltimore county courthouse for the start of alexander bennett's trial. grant lewis was headed there, too. he'd been flown in to testify. he's going to be your star witness. >> absolutely. >> reporter: but for detectives, the idea that bennett killed heidi all on his own had never made sense. they held out hope that bennett would come clean, but he maintained his innocence. then came the morning of jury selection. >> gary and i are out, getting breakfast. and gary's phone goes off. and he looks down at it. he looks up at me. and he's like, alex wants to talk. and i'm, like, wow. here we go. >> reporter: a heart-to-heart with his mother had convinced bennett to spill everything. prosecutor garret glennon. >> she basically told alexander if he did this, it was time to come clean. that jesus would forgive him. >> reporter: what they call a come to jesus moment was

i recognize him as the boyfriend. >> reporter: bennett picked out stephen cooke. 's boyfriend was arrested for first degree murder. >> deep in our hearts, we all had a feeling that he had something to do with it. >> reporter: stephen's trial began in june 2015. he pleaded not guilty. glennon and breault had the task of convincing a jury that stephen was capable of orchestrating a cold murder for hire. r the word of one man, the killer himself, alexander bennett. you really had to believe this guy bennett? >> absolutely. >> reporter: your case was going to rise and fall on that? >> he was going to be the star witness against stephen cooke. >> reporter: bennett told jurors the same story he told investigators, how he killed heidi. video cameras weren't permitted, but bennett's testimony was audiotaped. he decided to confess, he says, because of his faith and for heidi's family. >> i wanted to be a human being. i wanted to give a family some type of peace. i wanted to have faith enough and to grow up into a man and to accept and take responsibility for what i did. >>

comment, which i guess is fair enough -- >> stephen: you accused the french of being pro terrorism. >> i did not say that. we were having fun doing a cookingu were having fun and brought up 9/11? >> you have a way of mixing this, you know, politics and comedy. >> stephen: okay, okay you don't need to continue with the compliments. ( laughter ). >> 10 years later, there was a show on tv-- it's probably the same npr interviewer that screwed me up with serena, and they said err ruppier, if there was one person you wouldn't serve in your restaurant, who would that be, if you had to tick one person in the entire world." and he said me ( laughter ) plawz. >> stephen: you have a new book. it's called "but seriously." >> "but seriously." >> stephen: "but seriously." tell me about it. ( laughter ) ( applause ) ( cheers and applause ) nothing. i got nothing. i really-- i really enjoyed it. >> just read the damn thing! just read the damn thing! >> stephen: you had an earlier book called "you cannot be serious sm. and now "but seriously." what are we learning here that we didn't learn the last time? >> we're learning that hopefully i'm growing as a pe

stephen! but who's this, everyone?! it's only newsnight‘s chris cook knight rider, harley to our red dwarf. liverpool walton, it's fair to say, is a i—party labour seat. it's one of only five constituencies in britain where the second—place party got no more than 10% of the vote. if the other parties last time around had been interested in fighting here, they could each have spent £12,000 just on liverpool walton. but, in practice, the conservatives, ukip and the liberal democrats all together combined spent only £3000 on their campaign here. it's really not a seat where the result is in question. enjoy merseyside, stephen. 0h, thanks, chris. after all these years, some facts in one of my investigative reports. who'd have thunk it?! so, do the folk here feel they've been taken for granted? where better to take our bus to meet voters than the colourful bus stops of the constituency? why did no one think of this before? hello, folks. how are you enjoying the election so far? rubbish! exactly, yeah. good afternoon, ladies. how are you? all right. are you

. >> martha: to stephen bannon ce press -- cooked they are supposed to be asking the tough questions. i wouldn't say it in the hospital, i think they've been trying to hold them to account. given the context of that hostility coming from the administration. when you see the sorts of shifts it is troubling. you worry about whether this is eroding what has been part of what made our country great, which is a free press. >> martha: and you? >> that's the first thing i thought of. think that i didn't have to do that in that green room. the press has been hostile and they've been hostile from the beginning of the campaign right up until today and the reason why they are so hostile is that this is such a disruptive transformative candidate was brought an economic a team together who kept the house and senate, who was transformative leader, but he is not styled in the way that the media elites like. >> the media elites like them at the beginning of the campaign when they were showing an empty podium that said donald trump is that of hillary clinton. >> in the beginning they were giving him t

. >> stephen: makes sense, because meth, like lolly pops, does not require teeth. true story. that joke is based on a true story. the meth was cookedned with corn syrup in an operation "the washington post" described as part "willy wonka," part "the wire." ( laughter ) that's right. >> jon: wow! >> stephen: that's right. it was like a disturbing look into the ravages of mind-altering drugs plus "the wire." one of the craziest details is that the lollipops were in fun shapes like flowers, butterflies, r2-d2, and yoda. oh, yeah, it was important. you've got to make them fun shapes because meth users are notoriously picky. ( laughter ) lollipop was kind of surprising for me. so, to get his perspective on all of this, we turn now, live via satellite from dagobah, yoda. welcome to the show. yoda, everybody. >> yeah, good to be here, it is. >> stephen: master yoda, are you upset that police found meth lollipops with your likeness on them? >> yes, pissed, i am! wasted, those lollipops are. delicious they sound. >> stephen: wait, you want to try them? 600 pounds of meth lollipops would take down an elephant. >> judge me by me size, do you?
