Les 200 premières lignes.
Hey there.
Do you see this women around?
Hey, sir, just a moment of your time?
I'm looking for Kate Jordan.
Okay, City Island in the news again today,
as the Joe Hagan murder trial continues in Queens.
Our own Anne Austin is there.
That's right, Jim.
They've broken for lunch here at court.
As you know, City Island real-estate mogul Joe Hagan
stands accused of murdering his wife, Nora,
while boating off the coast of Long Island in August of 2010.
Queens homicide detective, Al Burns,
was on the stand first today.
Wait a second, I think we have something, Jim.
That's District Attorney Mark Adams.
Mark, how do you think it went in there today?
We've got a ways to go, Anne,
but I'm confident this jury will do the right thing.
Mr. Feldman, Mr. Hagan,
what do you think of the State's case?
- Any word on Kate? - Not yet.
But I got my team all over it. We need her, Al.
I can't afford to lose another witness.
If Kate can't give us Hagan threatening his wife...
We don't stand a chance, I know.
We're gonna find her.
Certain individuals seized on this tragedy to...
Are you talking about the District Attorney's office?
I'm talking about him.
Lieutenant, what are you trying to do to me?
You know I never laid a hand on my wife.
I loved her; I couldn't, and you know that.
- So, why are you lying? - Joe, Joe...
Ask him right now why is he lying.
You killed your wife, Joe Hagan.
You pushed her off your boat, and you watched her drown.
Our witness, Kate Jordan,
has specifically flown in from Cleveland to testify
that Joe Hagan had a history of physically attacking
- and threatening his wife. - That's not true!
We believe the jury
will reach its own conclusions.
Well, happily, for the citizens of New York,
what you believe is immaterial.
Let's go, Joe.
Your guys who were prepping her,
any sense something was up?
She was nervous.
They put it down to trial jitters. That's it.
Now, Joe Hagan is a beloved resident of City Island.
He lost his wife in a terrible accident...
Kate Jordan.
Find her, Lieutenant.
Excuse me, have you seen this woman?
Hey, excuse me, ma'am, you seen this woman by chance?
Kate Jordan? Happen to know her?
Maybe you saw her?
- No? - Nothing at all?
Are you sure?
- No. - Seen Kate Jordan?
Excuse me, sir, name's Kate Jordan,
she used to work around here.
Never heard of her.
Hey! I'm asking you a question, pal.
Have you seen Kate Jordan?
Today's the day she testifies, all right?
So, go check at court.
You should be on TV; anybody ever tell you that?
Oops, you are.
Not my finest performance,
You were great.
- That guy's a thug. - What are you doing here?
I don't know, came to cheer you up, see if I could lend a hand.
Yeah?
You got a witness in your pocket?
No, I'm just happy to see you.
They haven't found her yet?
And no one on the island's talking.
Kate spent her whole life with those people,
it's like she never existed.
What the hell does Hagan have on them anyway?
Guy owns the place.
Nobody makes a buck on City Island,
Joe Hagan doesn't take his cut.
Money buys silence, money buys love.
It's been going on for years.
My first month on the job,
we found a floater up by the Throgs Neck,
17-year-old girl,
evidence of sexual assault.
She was seen leaving a club
with Hagan earlier in the night.
Tons of witnesses, nobody came forward.
M.E. said possible suicide.
That's what I had to tell the mom.
Yeah, so enough is enough.
Yeah, enough is enough.
Sir, can I see some ID?
Back in court.
Maybe Adams can buy us some time.
Missing?
How exactly is she missing, Mr. Adams?
We're not sure, Your Honor.
Kate Jordan came into town
obviously intending to testify; something has happened.
We're just asking for a little time to figure out what that is.
Come on, Mark, you lost a witness.
That's not anyone's fault but yours.
Yeah, where exactly was your client last night?
Gentlemen.
Innuendo aside, Your Honor,
I would ask that jeopardy attach
and that this case be declared a mistrial.
Your Honor, the State is asking for two days.
Lieutenant Burns is directing our efforts to locate Ms. Jordan.
How about it, Lieutenant?
Do you think you have a shot?
Absolutely, we'll find her.
You're right.
Your client has a right to his day in court.
But the interests of justice will not be harmed
in granting a two-day recess.
That's all you get, guys.
48 hours,
enough time for me to get through season four of Mad Men.
Now go.
Okay, thanks.
I'll let him know. Yeah, bye.
- Hey. - We got 48 hours.
All right, well, we may not need it.
Nina just found Kate's hotel.
NYPD.
Kate, it's Al Burns.
Well, the shower's been running, but I don't think she got in it.
The towels haven't been touched.
No ID, no wallet or keys.
You smell that?
Certainly not chloroform.
Angel Mist.
That's, like, $200 a bottle perfume.
Nice stuff.
Guys, Jordan's rental car left the garage at 11:44.
But this is interesting.
Manager says an emergency door to the garage from the street
was tripped last night around 15 minutes before.
They know if it was coming or going?
No.
So, she checks in,
runs a shower, then disappears.
Yeah, so she got spooked,
or she got grabbed.
Or both.
UNFORGETTABLE S01 Ep.15 - The Following Sea
You really don't thint that is a case without her testimony?
The problem's always been,
we can't be sure what happened on that boat.
And the only other person on board,
Hagan's pal Clancy Watts,
is gonna back up Hagan's version of the events.
Which is exactly why Kate Jordan is so critical.
Her testimony is that three days before the murder,
she witnessed Hagan hit his wife
and specifically threaten to throw her into the river.
Yeah, yeah...
That's violence, and an actual death threat.
Yeah, lots of guys say they're going to kill their wives,
but how were you guys gonna prove
that he actually went through with it?
Currents.
Excuse me?
Well, more precisely, current patterns. Here.
D.A.'s office prepared this for trial.
It's a 3-D representation of what we think
happened the night of the murder.
Avatar, it's not, but I think
it gives Tintin a run for the money.
Hagan says he invited Nora out for a romantic cruise.
Clancy Watts comes along to crew.
Watts says at 9:30, Nora went top side
to get some fresh air after too much champagne.
Watts and Hagan start up a poker game down in the cabin.
Hagan says he checked on Nora every 15 minutes.
Watts will testify he could hear Hagan talking to her until 10:15
when Hagan went to check and then came
running back down to tell him Nora was gone.
They called the Coast Guard.
They start searching.
The only problem, we know that she
went over 30 minutes before Hagan said.
How'd you figure?
Like I said.
Current patterns.
If she'd gone over when they claimed,
she'd have drifted up into the Sound.
Instead, she washed up on the lovely shores of Queens.
Plus, there's the matter of the deck railing.
Nora Hagan was five foot two.
The railing on the deck, came up to four inches below her chin.
There's no way you go over that by accident.
