93

00:
08:26,305 -- 00:08:27,567

You can't remember what?

94

00:
08:27,740 -- 00:08:30,004

-Remember taking your clothes off?

-No.

95

00:
08:30,176 -- 00:08:32,041

-Getting into his bed?

-No.

96

00:
08:32,211 -- 00:08:34,179

So you can't remember having sex?

97

00:
08:34,347 -- 00:08:37,339

That's the thing.

I don't know that we did.

98

00:
08:37,850 -- 00:08:40,182

I know what it looks like

but I don't think--

99

00:
08:40,353 -- 00:08:43,811

Yeah, you weren't interested because

you're not that kind of girl.

100

00:
08:43,990 -- 00:08:47,255

All right, I don't think I should

allow my client to continue.

101

00:
08:47,426 -- 00:08:50,259

I don't understand

how one glass of wine...

102

00:
08:50,429 -- 00:08:52,522

...could knock me out like that.

103

00:
08:52,698 -- 00:08:55,394

One glass.

It doesn't make any sense.

104

00:
09:02,542 -- 00:09:04,237

Wait a minute.

105

00:
09:05,912 -- 00:09:07,675

Oh, my God.

106

00:
09:08,347 -- 00:09:09,905

The date-rape drug.

107

00:
09:10,483 -- 00:09:14,112

The date-rape drug.

That's the only possible explanation.

108

00:
09:17,189 -- 00:09:20,590

Okay, I get it that you're playing

the good cop, bad cop thing...

109

00:
09:20,760 -- 00:09:23,092

...but blink if you hear me.

110

00:
09:23,262 -- 00:09:26,925

Oh, we hear you, Ms. Shelley.

We hear you fine.

111

00:
09:29,502 -- 00:09:32,437

You just don't believe me.

112

00:
09:33,839 -- 00:09:35,932

You don't believe me at all.

113

00:
09:50,923 -- 00:09:51,947

Look at this.

114

00:
09:52,124 -- 00:09:55,958

iAs the investigation into the death/i

iof Jay Burgess continues..../i

115

00:
09:56,128 -- 00:09:58,289

Not another story about Jay's death.

116

00:
09:58,464 -- 00:10:01,695

I know you were big heroes,

but how much more is there to say?

117

00:
10:01,867 -- 00:10:02,856

A lot.

118

00:
10:03,035 -- 00:10:06,801

The woman he was with

was none other than Britt Shelley.

119

00:
10:06,973 -- 00:10:09,100

-From the news?

-Yeah.

120

00:
10:09,275 -- 00:10:11,607

iUnfortunately/i

iI took a shower this morning.../i

121

00:
10:11,777 -- 00:10:14,177

i...so we felt it unnecessary/i

ito test for rape./i

122

00:
10:14,347 -- 00:10:16,645

iI have no recollection/i

iof being violated./i

123

00:
10:17,016 -- 00:10:20,213

-iWere you intoxicated, Ms. Shelley?/i

-iNo./i

124

00:
10:20,386 -- 00:10:22,684

iI did submit a urine sample/i

ithis morning.../i

125

00:
10:22,855 -- 00:10:25,119

i...to test for so-called/i

idate-rape drugs./i

126

00:
10:25,291 -- 00:10:28,692

iThese substances tend to disappear/i

iquickly from the body.../i

127

00:
10:28,861 -- 00:10:32,388

i...so it's unlikely, at this point,/i

ithat anything will be detected./i

128

00:
10:32,565 -- 00:10:35,090

-She thinks she was drugged?

-I guess so.

129

00:
10:35,267 -- 00:10:38,065

You're interested in this

because Jay was your friend?

130

00:
10:38,237 -- 00:10:40,865

Or you wish you could

unretire from the force...

131

00:
10:41,040 -- 00:10:43,304

...and solve

this juicy little mystery?

132

00:
10:43,476 -- 00:10:45,637

Doing that

would require you to be sober.

133

00:
10:45,811 -- 00:10:48,041

Don't start, Miranda.

134

00:
10:50,116 -- 00:10:52,983

I can see why

you're so fascinated in all of this.

135

00:
10:53,152 -- 00:10:55,143

I mean, the idea of Britt Shelley...

136

00:
10:55,321 -- 00:10:57,755

...waking up

next to Jay's cold, dead body.

137

00:
10:57,923 -- 00:11:00,084

It's not like I care

one way or another...

138

00:
11:00,259 -- 00:11:02,853

...but you really can't escape

the irony, can you?

139

00:
11:03,029 -- 00:11:04,656

No, you can't.

140

00:
11:06,065 -- 00:11:08,363

I wonder if Candy's watching.

141

00:
11:09,702 -- 00:11:10,726

iAs Channel 8..../i

142

00:
11:10,903 -- 00:11:11,927

Poor Jay.

143

00:
11:12,104 -- 00:11:15,972

iPolice have not indicated whether/i

ifoul play was involved..../i

144

00:
11:16,142 -- 00:11:18,007

Did you know him

when you were a DA?

145

00:
11:18,177 -- 00:11:21,146

I knew everyone personally

when I was a DA.

146

00:
11:21,313 -- 00:11:25,579

-But Jay and I were friends.

-You're not going to the funeral.

147

00:
11:26,318 -- 00:11:29,719

The story is a little sordid.

You don't know where it might lead.

148

00:
11:29,889 -- 00:11:33,848

-And with your nomination pending--

-No, no, I won't go to the funeral.

149

00:
11:34,026 -- 00:11:36,290

I can't have my name

linked to it right now.

150

00:
11:36,462 -- 00:11:38,589

iWhen the coroner/i

ireleases his report.../i

151

00:
11:38,764 -- 00:11:41,927

i...it will help shed some light/i

ion what actually happened./i

152

00:
11:42,101 -- 00:11:45,366

I wonder if this has to do

with that story she covered...

153

00:
11:45,538 -- 00:11:48,200

...about the police station fire

five years ago.

154

00:
11:48,374 -- 00:11:50,365

Ms. Shelley,

doesn't this remind you...

155

00:
11:50,543 -- 00:11:52,602

...of the story

that made your career...

156

00:
11:52,778 -- 00:11:55,474

...about a certain arson investigator,

Raley Gannon?

157

00:
11:55,648 -- 00:11:58,776

-iThere were no drugs in that case./i

-iThere were similarities./i

158

00:
11:58,951 -- 00:12:02,682

iI don't think it's a stretch to say/i

iyou buried Mr. Gannon in the media./i

159

00:
12:02,855 -- 00:12:05,255

If he happens to be watching

this right now...

160

00:
12:05,424 -- 00:12:08,188

...what do you think

might be going through his head?

161

00:
12:10,730 -- 00:12:12,061

iThere you have it, folks./i

162

00:
12:12,231 -- 00:12:13,721

iThe mystery continues.../i

163

00:
12:13,899 -- 00:12:17,266

i...and we will bring you more/i

ias this story unfolds./i

164

00:
12:36,622 -- 00:12:39,056

Thank you for sending

that attorney over, Sam.

165

00:
12:39,225 -- 00:12:40,487

No problem. Did he help?

166

00:
12:40,659 -- 00:12:42,684

iHe was fine./i

167

00:
12:43,129 -- 00:12:46,326

I wanted to let you know,

I'm gonna come in to work tomorrow.

168

00:
12:46,499 -- 00:12:48,626

Shouldn't you wait

until you feel better?

169

00:
12:48,801 -- 00:12:50,325

iCome on, you know me./i

170

00:
12:50,503 -- 00:12:53,097

Work's the only thing

that's gonna make me better.

171

00:
12:53,272 -- 00:12:55,706

I would love to have you back

at work tomorrow.

172

00:
12:55,875 -- 00:12:57,775

Trust me, we're dying without you.

173

00:
12:57,943 -- 00:13:03,404

Hey, you need me and I need

to work so it's a win-win, right?

174

00:
13:04,016 -- 00:13:06,849

Yeah, it would be.

175

00:
13:07,019 -- 00:13:10,216

Problem is the suits upstairs

have a different take on this.

176

00:
13:10,389 -- 00:13:14,120

iThe public's had their fill of scandal/i

iand the people of Charleston.../i

177

00:
13:14,293 -- 00:13:18,229

i...might not appreciate/i

iseeing you on TV again so soon./i

178

00:
13:18,397 -- 00:13:19,421

So, what?

179

00:
13:19,598 -- 00:13:23,329

I'm just supposed to sit on my couch
