Do Not Grow Weary

Unit 26 en route to question a one Jason Garrett

on the request of the victim's father,

a Carl Starkey.

Copy.

Open it up, it's the police.

Who is it?

Whoa, hey, hey.

Guys, what's going on here?

Got any weapons on you?

What, no.

You've been here all night?

Yeah.

By yourself?

Yeah.

It's my son.

He's sleeping.

How old is he?

He's two.

Guys, come on, what's going on?

Well, earlier this evening, your ex,

Ms. Starkey and her boyfriend Dr. Felts,

they were found murdered.

You mind coming down to the station with us,

answer a few routine questions?

This double homicide

is rocking this small community in South Carolina.

Ms. Starkey leaves behind a 2-year-old son

who was with his father during the time of the murder.

An arrest has been made

in the double murder of Dr. Phillip Felts and Jules Starkey.

Jason Garrett, former boyfriend of Ms. Starkey,

will be arraigned this afternoon.

Garrett and Starkey have reportedly been

in a heated custody battle over their son.

From the evidence presented,

there is only one conclusion to be drawn,

and that is that the defendant

had both opportunity and motive to commit these murders.

Objection, your honor.

Overruled.

Add to that, the blood found in his car

belonged to Dr. Phillip Felts,

a renowned cardiologist and philanthropist.

It's a loss for all of us.

Ms. Jule Starkey, a registered nurse

whose tender care will no longer be felt

thanks to the selfish and brutal actions

of this criminal seated before you.

I didn't kill them.

Order, I will have order in this court.

Counselor, your client must contain himself

or I will have him restrained.

What more do you need to see?

There was an outburst today from the defendant

that gives us a glimpse into a temper.

Judge Wiles threatened to have him restrained.

I'm getting word now,

the jury has finally reached a verdict.

Let's go inside.

Madam forewoman, has the jury reached a verdict?

We have your Honor.

Would the defendant please stand?

Madam forewoman, would you please read the verdict?

Yes, your honor.

Count one murder of Jules Starkey, guilty.

Count two, murder of Dr. Phillip Felts, guilty.

Order in the court.

Order in the court.

Mr. Garrett, would you please stand?

This has been a particularly difficult and tragic case.

Due to the nature of these murders,

I have no choice but to sentence you to life in prison.

Today, convicted murderer Jason Garrett

was sentenced to life in prison,

narrowly escaping the death penalty.

Hey baby, how was school?

How was school?

Good.

Well, your daddy says

he wants you to go with him tonight.

Yeah, he told me - To a funeral.

Are you going?

No, baby, I got plans.

But maybe y'all can go out to dinner

or something afterwards.

Yeah.

Wanda.

I'm so sorry you lost John.

I miss him a lot.

He was a good man and he was taken from us way too soon.

And I appreciate that.

I think together we did a lot of good for the community.

Carson, you have turned into a very handsome young man.

Caroline.

Mr. Starkey.

I hear you're going to step into your father's footsteps.

I am.

He'd be very proud of you.

Thank you.

And who do we have here?

Ty Jackson.

Nice to meet you Mr. Jackson.

Good to meet you.

Carl Starkey, are you new in town?

I am, I just flew in from New York.

And in Job 8:20 it says,

"Behold God will not cast away a perfect man,"

"neither will he help the evil doers."

And as we've studied through Job,

we understand his afflictions

it's something that we can take away

as an encouragement for our lives

and that God is always with us and watching us

and ready to help us... Okay, guys,

time to wrap it up.

Ryan, would you mind closing us in prayer?

Sure.

Father, I thank you for this group of believers

and Father, I thank you that even though

we're in this place,

you are here with us.

Thank you for the strength that you provide.

And Father, I pray,

I pray for my son.

Lord, he's starting high school here shortly

and I pray that you would protect him.

I pray you help him make the right decisions.

Again, thank you for these men.

I pray for these things in Christ's name.

Amen.

Thank you guys,

we appreciate you.

Hey, you all right?

Yeah.

I guess your son is starting high school too.

I'm not sure.

You know, you're his dad.

Look at me.

You're his dad.

No bars, no shackle,

no judge can ever change that.

Yeah.

How is she?

She's okay.

You finished?

Yep.

- You excited? - About what?

Taking over your dad's practice.

Yeah.

You're gonna make a great boss.

It's not really what I had in mind for my life right now,

but I'm just so glad you're here.

Well, there's no rush for me to get back,

I can get all my work done remotely anyways.

Besides you're gonna be here for a while,

might as well get to know the area.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Morning Caroline.

Any messages?

Yes.

Yeah, the Tourville deposition was moved

and that Simpson hit and run,

Judge Reynolds wants the affidavit

and the worksheet on that.

Dillon's got 'em.

Where is he?

- I think he's in his office. - Thanks.

Yeah.

Even if we don't get the witnesses,

we could put pressure on 'em.

Pull 'em all in here and hold a day long deposition on 'em.

Well, forget about lunch.

Ask 'em the questions they don't want to answer under oath.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, those questions.

Oh, hey, I gotta run.

Call me later to get this scheduled.

Yeah, yeah, thanks buddy.

What a great pleasure just to see you.

You know that song?

I'm sure our firm needs the reputation

of not providing lunch for all day depositions.

You know what my father taught me about the law?

What?

Always in the little things.

Yes ma'am.

- Are you okay with this? - This what?

Oh, you being the boss lady.

I'm perfectly fine with that.

You have my full support, 100%.

Good first day?

Yeah, just going through all my dad's different cases,

getting a feel, you know,

plus organizing.

Hmm.

I got you a sandwich.

Oh, thanks.

Hey, don't work too late.

I mean, yeah, I'm his dad,

but Carl hasn't allowed any contact,
