Pollitt: If you’re trying to say Iris had anything to do with this, you’re wrong. I’ve confessed. Stop complicating this stuff.

Detective Ames: What happened in Russia?

Pollitt: We got our son. Nothing else. Lots of paperwork. Judge had a hearing. We gave his caseworkers and the other kids gifts.

Detective Ames: Danielle Roberts told another pair of her clients that you had created problems for her.

Pollitt: (long pause) I have no idea what that means.

Detective Ames: What problems?

Pollitt: I don’t know. It was years ago. Our son is now a freshman in high school. Who are these people saying this?

Detective Ames: Other clients of hers.

Pollitt: Bull. I want names.

Detective Ames: I can’t tell you their names. Was there anything fishy or illegal about your adoption?

Pollitt: No, no, no. What is this? Y’all are going after my son now?

Detective Ames: Does Iris have a reason to wish ill to Danielle?

Pollitt: No. Do you not believe my confession? I told you, look at her phone card. She called me at 4:00 a.m.

Detective Ames: That doesn’t mean you had a conversation and then went over there. Or that an affair is what you were discussing.

Pollitt: I’ve told you the truth.

Detective Ames: Kyle. I just have to say…we think you’re lying to us about certain aspects of that evening. We understand your daughter is involved with her son. You’re best friends with her boyfriend. You used her services to help find your son. You and your family are more connected to this woman than anyone else.

Pollitt: So what? I killed her.

Detective Ames: We found the murder weapon.

(Long pause)

Detective Ames: It was hidden inside the victim’s Lakehaven Library book bag. A metal pipe. You have a similar pipe, stored on the top shelf of your garage, left over from a renovation last year; the part numbers match. There is blood inside the bag. It was found inside a tree where I understand your son used to hide objects as a child, along the Winding Creek greenbelt. You left that out of your confession, sir. You said you killed her with your bare fist.

Pollitt: I did.

Detective Ames: The forensic evidence doesn’t match your story. Now, the pipe appears to have come from your house, which means another member of your family, or your circle of friends, could have had access. Are you protecting someone, Kyle? Your wife? One of your children?

(Long pause)

Pollitt: I’d like to speak to my lawyer, please.

(Break)

(Interview resumes)

Pollitt: What the hell? Kip says you’ve arrested my daughter. She’s a child!
