Proof of bad judgment, yes.
But I'm not pulling her
It would kill her career.
She'll come through this. Just watch.
And your involvement
Intimate?
Yes.
Do you think it's possible to do things
behind your own back?
Maybe I drink too much.
I don't know. I...
I pass out, and when I wake up
I think I've done terrible things.
- What is it you think you've done?
- There's been another murder.
And I'm my best suspect.
This third victim...
...I slept with him too.
Jessica, listen to me.
You grew up your whole life
knowing that your father
has done these horrible things.
So now you may be thinking,
"I have that in me too."
I don't think I have it in me.
I know.
Am I losing my mind?
I have violent dreams. Flashes.
- I'm hearing voices.
- When did you first find out?
When did you realize that
you had the capacity to kill?
To take a human life?
Get away from me. Go!
Hey.
I...
...need this right away.
Right away takes 24 hours.
Lisa, please. I need it.
OK.
I'll skip a couple of steps,
and I'll run it straight through
the amplification process.
You know, I always say,
you can tell a lot about a person
from a drop of their blood.
Can you tell
if they're a good person?
Give me a little time.
- Angela.
- Yes?
I need you to run this up to the lab.
Get a toxicology screening,
and I'm still gonna need to type it.
- OK.
- Thank you.
Hi, it's Lisa from the lab.
I need to see you right away.
You're a goddamn psychopath!
You know that?
- Bring me a drop of the killer's...
- I know about you.
Let's say you come over
Are you thinking
Killing spree. Killing spree.
Tell me something.
... saw him with looked a lot like you.
... I've ever seen that guy
leave the bar with was you.
Have we eliminated
Inspector Shepard as a suspect?
What is it you think you've done?
I can hear your heart beating.
One body at a time.
Sounds like blood.
I know you. You're me.
At least we have a suspect.
So now you may be thinking,
"I have that in me."
We all have it in us.
The capacity to kill.
Capacity to kill.
You OK?
Why wouldn't I be OK?
Something's wrong. You know
that feeling you've been having
that somebody's been following you?
I'm getting that same feeling tonight.
Something's gonna happen tonight.
Get away from me.
- Put the gun down.
- Go away.
- What are you doing, Jess?
- Mike...
Mike.
You've been drinking.
You gotta stop.
- You've gotta be strong.
- Mike...
No.
Give me the gun. Give me the gun.
Everyone who kisses me...
...turns up dead.
No, they don't.
Mike, don't go.
I ain't going anywhere, stranger.
Hello?
Mike?
You asked to see me?
Turn and face that wall.
Test. The bulletin board behind you.
Go.
Crime scene photos.
Three black and white. Two color.
Two black and white. Three color.
What is going on with you?
You know a couple of victims, so you
just let yourself fall to pieces, is that it?
- I think I'm losing it, John.
- Hey, you have a job to do.
- Hi, Jess.
- What the f***, Jimmy?
Jimmy, just go home.
Oh, go home.
Like I'm some kind of dog.
Like I'm supposed to
obey you now?
Is that it?
We're gonna rumble?
Open the f***ing door, Jessica.
Open the door.
I'm coming to get you.
I'm coming.
Jessica Shepard?
Chip Marshall, SID.
Where were you
the night Bob Sherman was killed?
I don't know.
was murdered?
- I don't know.
the night Ray Porter was killed?
I don't...
...know.
Jessica, did you kill these men?
I don't...
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I don't know what else
there is to say.
I was raised to be a good girl,
but I was born to bad people.
It's kind of comforting, in a way.
I've been running from it all my life...
...the fear of being the bad seed.
But most of all, I feel bad for John.
It's OK, though.
It's good.
It's good that I'm in here.
Have you given her any medication?
- No, I've given her nothing.
- I didn't think so.
The problem's not in her head,
it's in her bloodstream.
- What's in her bloodstream?
- Report from forensics.
I had them run her blood
through a drug screen.
Rohypnol. Ever heard of it?
Yeah, of course. Roofies.
It's a date rape drug.
Completely incapacitating.
Get dressed. You're out on bail.
Thanks for all your help, doc.
We won't be needing
your services anymore.
All right, give me the headline. And
don't tell me you're not up for a test.
This is the biggest test of your life,
inspector.
Four men murdered.
Suspect slept with all of them.
Incriminating evidence found on her
person the morning after the crimes.
When she awakened
from a drug-induced blackout,
which makes it physically impossible
for her to have committed the crime.
- I didn't do it.
- Stick to business.
only the suspects change.
- Who?
- What do they have in common?
- Just me.
- Who knows your habits?
Whose job is it to know
where you are at all times
in case he might have to call you
at any hour of the day or night?
No, you're off on that. Mike never
knew where I went at night.
Didn't this start when you got
the new job, when you met him?
It's not Mike.
All right, I need you
to tell me where to go.
Straight down Market
to the Embarcadero.
- But why would Mike drug me?
- How better to incapacitate you
while he went about the business
of doing what he had to do?
Do you think he'd let you prowl
without following you?
There were times when I felt like
I was being followed.
Suspect follows the accused.
When? Where?
a man in a bar.
Followed the victim back to his place
where he watched you
do what you do through a window
or maybe a crack under the door.
Just enough to make him crazy.
Come on, inspector, I'm waiting
for you to tell me something.
Suspect had...
...intimate knowledge
of the habits of the accused.
Access not only to her place,
but to her deepest fears.
Plus, familiarity with the drug
that ultimately incapacitated her.
Remember, he's a cop.
We give him the benefit of the doubt.
No doubt. He'll get all
the benefits he deserves.
You got out.
Why didn't you come see me, Mike?
Yeah, why didn't you
come see her, Mike?
What do you mean?
I was there. They brought me in.
They questioned the hell out of me.
- I told them you were innocent.
- How could you be so sure?
Hey, Jess.
You're my partner.
- We're partners.
- Partners lie for each other?
- What are you talking about?
- Partners tell each other the truth.
- Partners tell each other everything.
- Hey.
Partners come see you
when you're in jail.
- You didn't get my message?
- Oh, God. There was no message.
- You're so f***ing full of sh*t.
