01:
03:47,723 -- 01:03:51,523

-Any idea where he'll turn up next?

-Yeah, boss gave me an address.

830

01:
03:53,563 -- 01:03:56,794

Well, judge,

I have to say it's an honor to meet you.

831

01:
03:56,966 -- 01:04:00,595

I think the whole city is excited

about your pending nomination.

832

01:
04:00,770 -- 01:04:05,571

My wife keeps telling me

it's a great leap for Southern women.

833

01:
04:05,741 -- 01:04:06,969

Thank you.

834

01:
04:07,910 -- 01:04:09,878

You're wondering

why I asked you here.

835

01:
04:10,046 -- 01:04:13,106

Well, yeah.

836

01:
04:13,282 -- 01:04:15,147

I hear you have family in Columbia.

837

01:
04:15,318 -- 01:04:18,344

Yeah, my wife's sister

and some cousins.

838

01:
04:18,521 -- 01:04:21,752

You've been inquiring about

transferring to the Columbia P.D.

839

01:
04:21,924 -- 01:04:23,391

I know a lot of people.

840

01:
04:23,559 -- 01:04:25,891

Some of whom may be able

to make that happen.

841

01:
04:26,062 -- 01:04:29,156

Bypassing the usual

bureaucratic channels and such.

842

01:
04:29,699 -- 01:04:31,496

Well, that would be--

843

01:
04:33,903 -- 01:04:35,632

I would be much obliged.

844

01:
04:36,472 -- 01:04:39,032

But in return

I need to ask something of you.

845

01:
04:39,208 -- 01:04:43,406

-Off the record, do you understand?

-Yeah.

846

01:
04:43,579 -- 01:04:47,913

I was hoping not to get involved in this,

but circumstances are such that...

847

01:
04:49,318 -- 01:04:51,548

...it seems unavoidable.

848

01:
04:52,555 -- 01:04:56,150

I need you to tell me everything about

the Jay Burgess investigation.

849

01:
04:56,993 -- 01:04:59,860

I know this is highly irregular...

850

01:
05:00,029 -- 01:05:03,487

...but I'm worried that someone

may be wrongfully blamed for this.

851

01:
05:03,666 -- 01:05:06,134

And I can't let that happen again.

852

01:
05:15,878 -- 01:05:17,470

He's home.

853

01:
05:19,749 -- 01:05:22,115

Let's wait a minute,

see if a light comes on.

854

01:
05:22,285 -- 01:05:24,981

I think I should be the one

to go talk to him.

855

01:
05:27,823 -- 01:05:29,518

I've been thinking.

856

01:
05:30,426 -- 01:05:33,725

You should really try and make

a transition to a bigger market.

857

01:
05:33,896 -- 01:05:36,524

You're beautiful, you're smart.

858

01:
05:36,699 -- 01:05:40,100

You're number one in Charleston,

but that's what? A few thousand?

859

01:
05:40,269 -- 01:05:41,930

It's nothing.

860

01:
05:42,104 -- 01:05:44,595

If you went national,

you'd be seen by millions.

861

01:
05:45,408 -- 01:05:49,469

-I have had a couple of big offers.

-Really?

862

01:
05:49,645 -- 01:05:51,408

-Yeah.

-So, what's the problem?

863

01:
05:51,948 -- 01:05:55,111

Well, for one, in a big market

the competition's tougher...

864

01:
05:55,284 -- 01:05:57,377

...and the expectations are higher.

865

01:
05:57,920 -- 01:06:01,447

-So what?

-So, what if I can't hack it?

866

01:
06:02,758 -- 01:06:08,128

I mean, I don't have some

big, happy family to fall back on.

867

01:
06:08,297 -- 01:06:12,393

My parents are dead

and there's nobody else.

868

01:
06:12,568 -- 01:06:18,336

So if I take a big job and fail at it,

then how would I support myself?

869

01:
06:18,908 -- 01:06:22,139

So your concern

is financial security?

870

01:
06:22,878 -- 01:06:23,970

Well, yeah.

871

01:
06:24,146 -- 01:06:26,478

-You'll have to be smart.

-Yeah.

872

01:
06:26,649 -- 01:06:28,514

-And cautious.

-Exactly.

873

01:
06:28,684 -- 01:06:30,413

-And gutless.

-What?

874

01:
06:30,586 -- 01:06:32,486

I'm serious. No guts, no glory.

875

01:
06:32,655 -- 01:06:36,147

You're not going for the glory,

so really, who needs the guts?

876

01:
06:36,892 -- 01:06:38,484

Did you just insult me?

877

01:
06:50,940 -- 01:06:54,034

It's almost 11:
00 at night.

Where's he going?

878

01:
06:54,210 -- 01:06:57,111

I don't know. Let's find out.

879

01:
07:31,914 -- 01:07:34,382

-What is this?

-It's a gay club.

880

01:
07:34,550 -- 01:07:35,744

Out here?

881

01:
07:35,918 -- 01:07:38,409

You think

it's easy being gay in the South?

882

01:
07:38,587 -- 01:07:40,919

Especially if you're a cop.

883

01:
07:44,860 -- 01:07:45,918

-Hey.

-Hey.

884

01:
07:46,095 -- 01:07:48,791

-Hey there.

-Hey, how's it going?

885

01:
07:49,765 -- 01:07:51,756

Haven't seen you in a while.

886

01:
07:51,934 -- 01:07:55,097

Hey, fellas. You don't mind

if I talk to my friend, do you?

887

01:
07:55,271 -- 01:07:57,239

What are you doing here?

Following me?

888

01:
07:57,406 -- 01:07:59,636

No, I'm not,

but we need to talk to you.

889

01:
07:59,809 -- 01:08:01,436

Who's we?

890

01:
08:01,911 -- 01:08:03,310

-Are you with her?

-Hi.

891

01:
08:03,479 -- 01:08:06,243

Mr. Wickham, we were wondering

if you could help us.

892

01:
08:06,415 -- 01:08:09,077

What exactly really happened

to your face?

893

01:
08:09,251 -- 01:08:10,650

My face?

894

01:
08:10,820 -- 01:08:13,084

Why? Raley knows I got into a fight.

895

01:
08:13,255 -- 01:08:14,984

Nice story. Try again, Pat.

896

01:
08:15,157 -- 01:08:19,184

Look, the truth always comes out.

Better if you just tell us now, talk to us.

897

01:
08:20,863 -- 01:08:23,525

-Tell us about the police station fire.

-Screw off.

898

01:
08:23,699 -- 01:08:27,294

-What about Hampton Park?

-Nobody knows about any of that.

899

01:
08:27,470 -- 01:08:29,870

Just don't go there, please.

900

01:
08:33,709 -- 01:08:35,074

Get down!

901

01:
08:44,520 -- 01:08:46,647

Get in the car, get in the car.

902

01:
09:03,005 -- 01:09:04,666

Go, go!

903

01:
09:18,954 -- 01:09:20,444

Well, you're lucky.

904

01:
09:20,623 -- 01:09:23,217

That bullet barely nicked you.

905

01:
09:23,392 -- 01:09:26,725

-Yeah, well, it still hurts.

-I know.

906

01:
09:30,132 -- 01:09:32,464

-Nice necklace.

-Thank you.

907

01:
09:32,635 -- 01:09:36,594

-It doesn't exactly seem like your style.

-It's not.

908

01:
09:36,772 -- 01:09:39,570

-Then why do you wear it?

-Sentimental.

909

01:
09:39,742 -- 01:09:41,710

From your parents?

910

01:
09:41,877 -- 01:09:44,573

-Old boyfriend?

-No.

911

01:
09:44,747 -- 01:09:49,047

My bosses gave it to me after I won

number one three years in a row.

912

01:
09:52,721 -- 01:09:54,848

-There you go.

-Thank you.

913

01:
09:55,024 -- 01:09:56,616

You're welcome.

914

01:
10:02,364 -- 01:10:05,959

-So I get it now.

-Get what?

915

01:
10:06,135 -- 01:10:09,195

Why you'll never leave

your job at the station.

916

01:
10:09,371 -- 01:10:11,839

Financial security my ass.

917

01:
10:12,007 -- 01:10:15,170

You, my friend,

are seriously full of crap.

918

01:
10:17,646 -- 01:10:22,845

So is that your version

of small talk or foreplay?

919

01:
10:23,018 -- 01:10:24,645

I've seen you in action.

920

01:
10:24,820 -- 01:10:28,187

With Louis Jones, Pat Jr.

You're a great interviewer.

921

01:
10:28,724 -- 01:10:30,954

You could go anywhere

and be a star.

922
