Amory uncovers something unexpected.
Their father, who has always defended Sean, starts sending aggressive voice messages to Sophia and Shane. Meanwhile, Amory has even more questions for Sophia just as Shane is coming to his own conclusion that she did not commit the murder.
Sean Correia: Nobody wants to address the damn shadow in the background. And the only person who could really address that could be the one person who knew everything. And that was Sophia. Sean Correia: In terms of Sophia's case being reopened, I'll put her back in prison. My best advice is, Shane, stay away from that. Please, be mindful, don't become my enemy.
Sean Correia: Dude, listen to me very, very carefully. Shane. Shane, I love you, my little brother, whatever the fuck is said and done is said and done. But let me tell you something, bro. Sophia got her own agenda, my brother. What the brothers are talking AROUND... is something from their childhood that's unresolved. Something that informs the way Shane views Sean... that he hasn't been able to ignore as he considers which of his siblings to believe.
Amory Sivertson: There is one other thing that I'd love for you to just respond to because it's more serious and you deserve a chance to respond.A reminder here... that Sean is 6 years older than Shane.Sean Correia: You're saying that my little brother. My gay little brother… When you heard Shane say earlier that Sean HURT him? That's the LEAST explicit I've heard him when talking about the abuse. He alleges it involved unwelcome self-exposure by Sean, unwanted touching, and penetration. Shane says that, even from the first instance, he told Sean he didn't think what he was doing was right. Sean would tell him it was just a dream — that what was happening... WASN'T really happening.
Shane Correia: My brother sexually assaulted me, and I can state that because I experienced it. And even I can draw the distinction of, he might not be a murderer. Is he a child molester? Yes. Is he a person who can cause physical harm? Yes, he can. There are many themes in this larger story. Memory is one, for sure... especially given that the events in question — from allegations of abuse, to murder — they all happened more than 20 years ago. But maybe just as important... is everyone's relationship to the truth. I'd read the Correia family psychological evaluation we heard earlier in the series, I'd heard from Shane and Sophia that Sean believes his own lies. And that he learned that from the master, their dad… George.
George Correia: No. The most important thing I will do. No smoke, no drinking, no sleep out. Don't bring no friend for party here. George Correia: My friend. Between you and I, I am wondering myself, I even leave a message for Miss Sophie. I said, you have to disappoint us. Change your way around. Stop it. Stop lying.and DOZENS of other messages from her father, to ME.
George Correia: Mr. Shane, good morning. Listen to me carefully. If you do not want to get yourself a lawsuit, stop joining with Sophie to accuse people. You don't know nothing. You're not ready for what will come down if you don't stop your nonsense and keep away. Meanwhile, that brother — Sean — is making it clear to the youngest brother, Shane, that he's not going down for Sophia's mother-in-law's murder, 22 years later.Sophia feels the same... but about her family. Her dad, her mom, Shane... they can't be on the fence about who-did-what anymore, even if that means cutting off contact with them forever.
, remember, would say is neither a twist, nor is it NEW... but the proof of it being part of his ORIGINAL story for the detectives is... indiscernible. But as Sophia and I talk, the new twist loses its humor. Because the more details Sean offers up... the more certain Sophia becomes that HE is the only person on earth who knows what happened to Marlyne. The more hurt she is by the story he told about her. That he CONTINUES to tell about her.
As I listen back to me saying this to Sophia, I realize that what started as a statement about what Sean and George assert... turned into me settling into the uncomfortable possibility that... maybe Sophia IS lying to me. Maybe she has been all along.And so, it's time to listen back to something. Something YOU heard near the beginning of this series, but the last time SOPHIA heard it was 20 years ago. In a courtroom. I played it for her, in full.
Sophia: Sean, I told you our conversations being recorded. Our phone conversations are being recorded. Did you know that?Rick Buckner: How in the hell would she even know that we were listening in? Amory Sivertson: And it really sounds like you know what he's talking about. And like you're trying to shut him up in that moment.
Now that Sophia DOES know EXACTLY what Sean was doing to her then with an audience of detectives... what she says Sean and her father are doing to her NOW with an audience of me... and YOU... she made sure she had the right words when I suggested that THEY might be telling the truth -- That she IS lying to me... flat-out, or… by omission.
Sophia told him she had NEW information to offer about the murder. But when I finally tracked down the now-former Detective Kevin Harper and asked him about this visit…He didn't remember ANYTHING of value coming out of his conversation with Sophia. No admissions of any kind. A waste of time, Harper said. But he ALSO told me...
“Sophia grew up in New York,” the report reads. “Her family is a member of the Jehovah’s Witness Church. She moved to Vancouver after she—” ok yeah, I’m not gonna read the whole thing. It’s 26 pages long, so I’ll summarize. But... they couldn't find it. Sophia says they sat down on the steps leading up to Marlyne's bedroom, feeling defeated. And then,"As casually as I'm talking to you," Sophia tells Harper, she says to Sean,"Maybe we should just kill her." Sean's response?"Ok." Sophia told Sean that Marlyne's life insurance money would"go a long way with Brad.
As they waited for Marlyne to come home, Sophia tells Detective Harper that she saw Sean pick up a fireplace poker and start"swinging it around." He had nervous energy, he told her. Sophia says she knew Sean was going to kill Marlyne because"I knew what I had asked him to do." Rick Buckner: You know, I know this happened. Sophia: We know you killed Marlyne. Rick Buckner: Just tell me what happened. Sophia: Tell us how.
