what else to do...

I wait outside for S.

And follow him down the street.

[MIRANDA] What do you mean

he wasn't there?

He would never not be there to

drop her off at the hospital.

That would never happen.

MIRANDA (V.O.) I tell myself

it is only in my imagination.

But I fear S.

I fear S.

I fear S.

[MIRANDA]

Hello?

ANDY (OVER PHONE)

Miranda, it's Andy.

Hi.

[ANDY]

Listen, I have some news.

Paul Stark's wife reported him

missing this morning.

Oh no, Andy.

[ANDY] Okay, just--

I thought it was in my head.

ARTHUR (V.O.)

You've done a bad thing.

[MIRANDA] Andy, I have to tell

you something.

I have to come to the police

station...

and make a statement... okay?

ARTHUR (V.O.)

You've done a bad thing.

ANDY (OVER PHONE) He was

supposed to pick her up...

[MIRANDA] I'm coming in now.

morning, but he never did, and

he wasn't in the apartment...

when the nurse showed up

yesterday morning.

The Nurse at the Stark

residence...

says you were there the night

before last.

Which means you were the

last person...

to actually see Paul Stark.

She says you were very upset.

What were you doing there

at 2:
00 in the morning?

I just told you.

What is your relationship

to Paul Stark?

He's my friend.

And he's my dealer.

You are also having a sexual

relationship?

Yes.

Why didn't you tell us...

that you were having a sexual

relationship with Mr. Stark?

I didn't think of it.

You didn't think it would

matter...

that you're having an affair

with him?

No, it's not an affair.

It's-- it's an arrangement.

What kind of arrangement?

He loves his wife very much.

Did that make you jealous?

No.

Please, is anybody even looking

into the man...

that I followed to

The Nightingale on Friday?

So you went to visit your

lover... in a very upset state.

In the middle of the night.

Because you were having anxiety

over an art project.

What were you doing at The

Nightingale last Friday night?

I was following that man there.

This man in your photos?

Yes.

Because we have a witness...

that can put you near the bar

that night.

You have a witness that can

put me?

I came here and I told you

that I was there!

Why are you getting so agitated?

Hey.

You don't actually think

that I--

No, no, no, of course not,

don't even worry about that.

Listen, short of any DNA

evidence or a murder weapon...

turning up at your apartment

or something like that.

No, no one really believes that.

I'm guessing your guy will turn

up in a couple days.

Probably just took a little va--

needed a little time away.

What were you thinking?

I'm a cop.

And I take what I do seriously,

too. Ya know?

You kind of got inside me there

for a little while.

But... at the end of the day...

we don't really know each

other that well.

( FAUCET RUNNING )

( FAINT SCREAMING )

Ugh!

( GASPING )

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

[MIRANDA]

Andy. Something's happened.

Your gun has been fired.

I'm afraid that I just found

the murder weapon...

just like you said.

Andy, please call me back!

( LOUD KNOCKING ON DOOR )

What the f***.

( KNOCKING CONTINUES )

[MARGERET] You know I can hear

you, right?

Go away.

[MARGERET] I'm going to keep

banging on this door...

all night if I have to.

What do you want?

( LOUD BANGING )

[MARGERET] Uh, we're going to

the police right now.

He's still out there,

it was a coerced confession.

Why do you have that?

What are you doing with a gun?

[MARGERET] Miranda!

Oh! Hey! Hey!

Hey, stop that! Stop that!

Oh, f***!

Call the--!

Call the police!

Margeret?

Call the police!

[MIRANDA]

Chain.

Please. Please. Please.

( DOOR RATTLING )

Get your hands up!

Put the phone down!

Okay.

You have right to remain silent.

Anything you do or say can and

will be held against you...

in a court of law.

You have the right

for an attorney.

If you can't afford an attorney,

you'll be provided with one.

Do you understand these rights

that I am reading to you?

Who-- who are you?

What's your name?

This is Officer 626.

Requesting a backup on 65th

and Puget.

Yeah.

How did you get in?

Where's my friend?

( PHONE VIBRATES )

Hello, it's me. Hello, it's me.

Hello, it's me. Hello, it's me.

[S]

Hey! Put the phone down.

Put your phone down!

Where's my friend?

Your f***ing friend who attacked

me? How am I supposed to know?

( PHONE VIBRATES )

You were in the lineup?

Which lineup did you see me in?
