---

-Coming from Atlanta, I hear.

-Yeah.

734

00:
55:35,565 -- 00:55:36,589

George.

735

00:
55:38,201 -- 00:55:40,135

Raley.

736

00:
55:48,978 -- 00:55:50,673

It's good to see you.

737

00:
55:50,847 -- 00:55:52,906

I was so hoping you'd be here.

738

00:
55:53,350 -- 00:55:57,514

-Candy, I'm so sorry about Jay.

-Me too.

739

00:
55:58,521 -- 00:56:02,423

I missed you. I tried to find you,

but you didn't leave much of a trail.

740

00:
56:02,592 -- 00:56:05,618

I just needed

not to be found for a while.

741

00:
56:05,795 -- 00:56:08,229

-Congratulations on the nomination.

-Thank you.

742

00:
56:08,398 -- 00:56:09,763

I can't say I'm surprised.

743

00:
56:10,533 -- 00:56:11,966

It means a lot to me.

744

00:
56:12,135 -- 00:56:13,602

Judge Mellers.

745

00:
56:13,770 -- 00:56:16,261

Forgive me,

but you do have another appointment.

746

00:
56:16,673 -- 00:56:19,836

-I'm sorry, Raley, I have to--

-It's okay.

747

00:
56:21,845 -- 00:56:24,507

I know this may not be the time

or the place...

748

00:
56:24,681 -- 00:56:28,777

...but I'm not gonna get another

chance and it's always bothered me.

749

00:
56:28,952 -- 00:56:30,476

After Suzi Monroe died...

750

00:
56:30,954 -- 00:56:36,119

...maybe I didn't advise you well

about the drug test.

751

00:
56:36,893 -- 00:56:38,326

Maybe....

752

00:
56:40,230 -- 00:56:41,424

Maybe I made a mistake.

753

00:
56:43,800 -- 00:56:49,636

If you need anything....

I mean it, anything.

754

00:
56:49,806 -- 00:56:51,467

Thank you.

755

00:
56:52,008 -- 00:56:53,475

Take care.

756

00:
56:55,979 -- 00:56:57,469

Raley.

757

00:
56:57,981 -- 00:57:00,279

-George McGowan.

-It's been a while.

758

00:
57:00,450 -- 00:57:04,546

Jay would've appreciated

that you came out of hiding for this.

759

00:
57:04,988 -- 00:57:06,580

No doubt.

760

00:
57:07,690 -- 00:57:11,524

-I heard you've been doing well lately.

-I fell in love.

761

00:
57:11,694 -- 00:57:14,288

With a woman? Or money?

762

00:
57:18,535 -- 00:57:23,563

Well, I guess that the marriage

didn't exactly work out as I planned.

763

00:
57:23,740 -- 00:57:25,469

Too bad.

764

00:
57:25,642 -- 00:57:28,338

Add one more thing

to your list of regrets, huh?

765

00:
57:28,511 -- 00:57:30,206

Something on your mind, Raley?

766

00:
57:30,847 -- 00:57:34,214

Yeah, there is. Jay's murder.

767

00:
58:07,250 -- 00:58:08,615

May I help you, ma'am?

768

00:
58:08,785 -- 00:58:11,447

Yeah, I was wondering

if I could use your computer.

769

00:
58:11,621 -- 00:58:14,988

Actually we have an entire

business center set up right there.

770

00:
58:15,158 -- 00:58:16,648

Thanks.

771

00:
58:16,826 -- 00:58:19,556

You might need to plug it in first.

772

00:
58:23,199 -- 00:58:25,190

I don't know any more than you do.

773

00:
58:25,368 -- 00:58:29,361

Apparently, that newswoman killed

him after they got back from the bar.

774

00:
58:29,539 -- 00:58:32,531

He met her at a bar?

I don't remember that in the news.

775

00:
58:32,709 -- 00:58:35,143

He told me he was going to do it.

776

00:
58:35,311 -- 00:58:38,906

He was thinking of retiring, gonna

convince her to do a story on him.

777

00:
58:39,082 -- 00:58:40,674

-That really why?

-Yeah.

778

00:
58:40,850 -- 00:58:43,250

Or did he want to

get something off his chest?

779

00:
58:43,419 -- 00:58:44,750

Like what?

780

00:
59:49,419 -- 00:59:51,011

Hey, Pat.

781

00:
59:51,788 -- 00:59:53,312

Come here.

782

01:
00:01,197 -- 01:00:05,759

Do you have any idea what Jay

might've wanted to tell a reporter?

783

01:
00:06,669 -- 01:00:09,900

No, no. I have no clue.

784

01:
00:16,613 -- 01:00:18,046

Hey.

785

01:
00:20,116 -- 01:00:22,050

Let's see.

786

01:
00:23,052 -- 01:00:25,350

Fried shrimp.

787

01:
00:26,389 -- 01:00:28,789

And-- And salad?

788

01:
00:28,958 -- 01:00:30,016

That's what you got?

789

01:
00:30,193 -- 01:00:33,253

-I thought you'd want--

-Fried shrimp, good call.

790

01:
00:33,930 -- 01:00:36,194

-So did you talk to George?

-Yeah.

791

01:
00:36,366 -- 01:00:39,392

George and Pat Jr. looked

like they had something to hide.

792

01:
00:39,569 -- 01:00:43,733

Well, you may not be wrong.

Read that.

793

01:
00:43,906 -- 01:00:46,932

-What, you went out?

-Oh, come on, just read it.

794

01:
00:47,744 -- 01:00:51,874

It says here that five years ago

in Hampton Park...

795

01:
00:52,048 -- 01:00:54,278

...Pat Wickham Jr. was attacked.

796

01:
00:54,450 -- 01:00:58,784

Must've been how he got the scar. His

dad said he got it in some bar brawl.

797

01:
00:59,355 -- 01:01:01,653

The kid never seemed like the type.

798

01:
01:02,091 -- 01:01:06,289

And Hampton Park, that's where

Cleveland Jones used to hang out.

799

01:
01:06,462 -- 01:01:07,656

Some coincidence.

800

01:
01:07,830 -- 01:01:10,230

So you think

we should go talk to Pat Jr.?

801

01:
01:10,400 -- 01:01:11,492

Absolutely.

802

01:
01:11,668 -- 01:01:13,966

God, I always hated that park.

803

01:
01:14,137 -- 01:01:16,571

Full of dealers and junkies.

804

01:
01:16,739 -- 01:01:18,969

Haley cut through there

on her morning run.

805

01:
01:19,409 -- 01:01:21,969

I begged her to find another route.

806

01:
01:24,414 -- 01:01:30,580

You know, I've actually been meaning

to say something to you about that. I....

807

01:
01:31,254 -- 01:01:35,384

I realized that my story is what caused

you to lose that relationship with her.

808

01:
01:35,558 -- 01:01:37,150

And I just--

809

01:
01:37,326 -- 01:01:40,557

I just want you to know

that I am truly, truly sorry.

810

01:
01:42,031 -- 01:01:47,162

Yeah, well, I guess I've been telling

myself that for the past five years.

811

01:
01:47,336 -- 01:01:48,997

That it was all your fault.

812

01:
01:49,172 -- 01:01:51,299

If you hadn't kept my face

in the news...

813

01:
01:51,474 -- 01:01:53,840

...there wouldn't have been

so much pressure.

814

01:
01:54,010 -- 01:01:57,537

And she and I,

we would've been okay.

815

01:
01:58,381 -- 01:02:02,943

Truth is, I know it's not that simple.

816

01:
02:03,119 -- 01:02:06,520

You know,

you said that I should've fought.

817

01:
02:06,689 -- 01:02:11,183

-If not for myself then for my fiance.

-Raley, I should--

818

01:
02:11,360 -- 01:02:15,922

The thing is, it was Haley

who begged me not to fight.

819

01:
02:16,299 -- 01:02:19,826

She wanted it

to just all go away on its own.

820

01:
02:21,471 -- 01:02:23,166

What did you want?

821

01:
02:23,606 -- 01:02:25,801

I wanted her to stay.

822

01:
02:26,943 -- 01:02:29,002

I wanted to make her happy.

823

01:
02:31,047 -- 01:02:32,912

And she left anyway.

824

01:
02:33,082 -- 01:02:35,016

She couldn't stick it out.

825

01:
02:35,918 -- 01:02:37,943

She wasn't like you.

826

01:
02:38,588 -- 01:02:40,613

She wasn't a fighter.

827

01:
03:33,342 -- 01:03:35,435

Yeah, got it.

828

01:
03:37,113 -- 01:03:41,482

All right, Raley Gannon just surfaced

at Jay Burgess' funeral.
