Says the man

whose TV only gets three channels.

923

01:
10:34,196 -- 01:10:35,527

But you won't.

924

01:
10:35,698 -- 01:10:37,427

Because you need to stay.

925

01:
10:37,600 -- 01:10:41,502

Your parents are all gone.

You avoid getting close to people.

926

01:
10:41,670 -- 01:10:44,696

You'll never quit,

you'll never try something else...

927

01:
10:44,873 -- 01:10:50,106

...because your job is the one true

long-term relationship you've got.

928

01:
11:17,706 -- 01:11:19,901

You look deep in thought.

929

01:
11:21,744 -- 01:11:24,304

I was remembering when we met.

930

01:
11:27,516 -- 01:11:31,145

God, you were so unattainable.

931

01:
11:31,520 -- 01:11:33,920

Sailing high above

with the socialite crowd...

932

01:
11:34,089 -- 01:11:36,887

...barely knowing

peons like me even existed.

933

01:
11:37,059 -- 01:11:40,620

When you agreed to marry me,

I couldn't believe it.

934

01:
11:41,430 -- 01:11:43,455

And I couldn't figure out why.

935

01:
11:44,466 -- 01:11:47,799

You were a hero, George.

Every girl wants a hero.

936

01:
11:48,570 -- 01:11:50,834

And I fell in love with you.

937

01:
11:56,245 -- 01:11:57,303

Are you still?

938

01:
12:06,722 -- 01:12:11,216

The night you told me the truth

about the fire...

939

01:
12:14,263 -- 01:12:15,992

...something just changed.

940

01:
12:16,165 -- 01:12:20,568

Everything that I thought you were and

everything I thought you could be...

941

01:
12:20,736 -- 01:12:23,398

...was based on a lie.

942

01:
12:26,909 -- 01:12:29,343

And I felt betrayed.

943

01:
12:36,051 -- 01:12:39,214

And I knew

I'd never let you betray me again.

944

01:
12:44,126 -- 01:12:46,253

I'm sorry, George.

945

01:
13:09,251 -- 01:13:12,049

-Hey, did you see this?

-What?

946

01:
13:12,221 -- 01:13:14,917

Pat Jr.'s attack

happened five years ago.

947

01:
13:15,090 -- 01:13:16,990

-September 1 4th.

-So?

948

01:
13:17,159 -- 01:13:20,754

So the police station fire happened

five years ago, September 1 5th.

949

01:
13:24,032 -- 01:13:25,659

Cleveland Jones was at both.

950

01:
13:26,702 -- 01:13:28,329

Cleveland was a redneck.

951

01:
13:28,504 -- 01:13:30,972

And rednecks aren't fond

of the gay population.

952

01:
13:31,140 -- 01:13:34,576

And cops aren't too fond

of rednecks who beat up cops' kids.

953

01:
13:35,377 -- 01:13:37,504

Do you think Pat Sr.

beat up Cleveland?

954

01:
13:39,181 -- 01:13:42,947

Or George, or Jay, or all of them.

955

01:
13:49,591 -- 01:13:52,958

Pat, please don't forget

to fix the stroller today.

956

01:
13:54,096 -- 01:13:56,394

Oh, my God. Pat?

957

01:
13:58,634 -- 01:14:01,102

They're here for me. It's all right.

958

01:
14:06,942 -- 01:14:10,070

-Should I stay?

-I'm fine, honey.

959

01:
14:10,913 -- 01:14:14,212

-Are you sure?

-Yeah, go ahead, it's okay.

960

01:
14:19,021 -- 01:14:20,852

Are you gonna leave too?

961

01:
14:22,458 -- 01:14:24,289

You guys wanna come in?

962

01:
14:28,197 -- 01:14:30,256

I know why you ran.

963

01:
14:32,568 -- 01:14:35,628

It must have been hard

living a lie all these years.

964

01:
14:37,406 -- 01:14:39,840

It's not like I had a choice.

965

01:
14:42,945 -- 01:14:47,211

My father and George used to tell

homo jokes around the dinner table.

966

01:
14:47,382 -- 01:14:49,816

And I used to laugh along.

967

01:
14:49,985 -- 01:14:55,048

And one day my dad caught me

in my bedroom with a friend.

968

01:
14:55,224 -- 01:15:00,924

And if my mom hadn't stopped him,

I swear to God, he would've killed me.

969

01:
15:01,396 -- 01:15:04,024

Secrets cost you a lot, huh?

970

01:
15:04,666 -- 01:15:08,830

Your freedom, integrity,

even your face.

971

01:
15:10,772 -- 01:15:14,640

Cleveland Jones did that, didn't he?

In the park.

972

01:
15:15,110 -- 01:15:18,409

Him and two of his friends.

973

01:
15:18,714 -- 01:15:22,115

They used the end of a bat

like a pile driver in my mouth.

974

01:
15:23,685 -- 01:15:27,177

The surgeons

did the best they could but....

975

01:
15:28,357 -- 01:15:30,484

Wasn't good enough for your dad,

was it?

976

01:
15:32,327 -- 01:15:35,353

Yeah, maybe he still loved me.

977

01:
15:37,332 -- 01:15:38,526

Maybe.

978

01:
15:39,701 -- 01:15:41,362

He showed you some mug shots?

979

01:
15:43,005 -- 01:15:45,405

Yeah, Cleveland

was the only one I recognized.

980

01:
15:45,574 -- 01:15:47,906

What did he tell you

he was gonna do?

981

01:
15:49,144 -- 01:15:54,104

He just said that he and his friends

were gonna take care of it.

982

01:
15:55,584 -- 01:15:58,883

His friends?

You mean George and Jay.

983

01:
15:59,054 -- 01:16:01,249

They didn't want me testifying

in a trial.

984

01:
16:01,423 -- 01:16:05,484

So they just wanted to make sure

that Jones confessed.

985

01:
16:05,661 -- 01:16:07,652

How did the police station

fire happen?

986

01:
16:08,897 -- 01:16:10,762

I really don't know.

987

01:
16:10,933 -- 01:16:16,064

I was in the hospital for weeks,

I was in pain, I was on meds.

988

01:
16:17,205 -- 01:16:21,699

Anything that happened that night

no one ever talked to me about it.

989

01:
16:22,344 -- 01:16:25,677

You never bothered to tell

anybody else about what you knew?

990

01:
16:26,014 -- 01:16:29,745

They had gotten revenge for me

one way or another.

991

01:
16:30,419 -- 01:16:34,287

I owed them something.

I owed them.

992

01:
16:35,157 -- 01:16:37,717

And you just filled in one lie

for another, huh?

993

01:
16:39,661 -- 01:16:40,685

Well...

994

01:
16:42,531 -- 01:16:43,555

...it's over now.

995

01:
16:47,736 -- 01:16:51,194

What are you gonna do? You can't--

996

01:
16:52,007 -- 01:16:55,534

Well, it's like she told you before.

The truth always comes out.

997

01:
16:55,711 -- 01:16:57,702

All you have control over is how.

998

01:
16:59,514 -- 01:17:00,708

Don't.

999

01:
17:19,534 -- 01:17:23,231

-Thirty-eight years.

-Ma'am?

1000

01:
17:23,605 -- 01:17:27,268

Thirty-eight years I've been dreaming

about making my name in the law.

1001

01:
17:27,442 -- 01:17:29,774

Other girls

were playing Barbie and dress up.

1002

01:
17:29,945 -- 01:17:32,607

I was pretending

to be Clarence Darrow or John Jay.

1003

01:
17:33,015 -- 01:17:36,746

After tomorrow, I bet some little girl

will be pretending to be you.

1004

01:
17:37,452 -- 01:17:38,817

Maybe.

1005

01:
18:04,279 -- 01:18:08,306

iPat Wickham Jr. shot twice/i

iat close range late this afternoon./i

1006

01:
18:08,483 -- 01:18:11,418

iPolice are calling Britt Shelley/i

ia person of interest./i

1007

01:
18:11,586 -- 01:18:12,610

What?

1008

01:
18:12,788 -- 01:18:17,782

iAccording to Wickham's wife, Shelley/i

iwas last seen with her husband./i

1009

01:
18:17,959 -- 01:18:19,256

We gotta do something.

1010

01:
18:20,562 -- 01:18:23,030

I've got an idea,

but we have to split up.

1011

01:
18:24,166 -- 01:18:25,467

Okay.

1012

01:
18:30,939 -- 01:18:34,272

-Press conference in 30 minutes.

-I'll be ready.

1013

01:
18:35,110 -- 01:18:36,634
