Hello, Roy.
This is Shelby, my ex-wife.
We are gathered to hear the case
of Lee Anne Marcus
v. The City of Charleston
on the charges of wrongful termination
and defamation of character.
They have a tape.
It's footage of you
and three other men
having sex on a police car.
You will see that a pattern of corruption exists.
I'm not aware of any statement of complaint.
You swore to me that you weren't lying.
You should be the replacement candidate.
I do believe you've made me an offer I can't refuse.
That's Lee Anne's husband. What happened to him?
Where's Arliss?
What did you do?
Arliss is dead.
I know that now.
When this is over, I'm gonna make you fall in love with me.
Ronnie Porter. Roy was gonna call him as a witness,
but then struck him from the list.
She got me lifting stuff from the, uh, evidence room.
Lee Anne.
Some E and some roofies.
Getting everything I wanted.
And now...
It's your turn.
Jamie?
Enjoying a little relaxation time?
I just had to check out.
The trial is so stressful.
It must be.
Especially when you're lying through your teeth
every minute of every day.
I've been to see Ronnie Porter.
You weren't harassed, you weren't defamed.
You've been planning this whole thing
since the beginning, even the drugs.
You took them yourself.
To tell you the truth, Jamie,
I'm surprised it took you so long.
- You're not even going to bother to deny it? - Why should I?
Attorney-client privilege... You can't say anything.
But if you do have it in your mind to do something reckless,
like quit...
I want you to know I've taken precautions.
The statement of complaint, I didn't find it.
I paid Betsy $5,000 for it.
I'll tell them you told me to buy evidence.
You could be disbarred
for that.
I'm sorry.
I really did like being your friend.
How long have you been planning this?
A long time.
Things... didn't fall into place right away,
and... unexpected events
caused me to rethink a few things.
Like your husband dying?
Everything I did, I did for him.
Those benefits they paid him are a joke.
And if you think the good ol' boys at the PD are innocent,
you're dead wrong.
Jamie...
I wanted enough money
to take care of Arliss,
to make him comfortable for the rest of his life.
He's gone.
If that's what all this was for...
I have to win. I won't walk away with nothing
after already losing so much.
What if we lose?
If I lose, you lose.
Maybe more than me.
You checked the entire area,
- not just the grave site? - No human remains.
We did find a dead dog, but no sign of Arliss Fulton.
We've still got taggett down at the station.
I'll see if we can hold him a little longer.
Keep looking.
Shelby.
I'm so sorry, Roy.
I didn't even know that you were in town.
We came for a birthday party.
Julia was in a bouncy house.
And broke her leg... How serious is it?
This is the surgeon. This is my hu...
This is Julia's father.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
Your daughter has a comminuted fracture.
The bone shattered
into four pieces.
Now, we have to open up
the leg to reset the bones on this type of injury.
I'd like to keep her overnight
and schedule surgery for tomorrow afternoon,
- if that's ok. - Whatever y-you think, doctor.
Thank you.
You came all the way down here
and you weren't even gonna call me?
I was gonna call you, of course.
Is she awake? I'd like to see her.
Yeah.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey. Hey.
She's gonna be fine.
She's gonna be fine.
Yeah.
Sometimes you represent
guilty people.
I have represented guilty people,
but this is... It's killing me.
If I just had something on her, some leverage,
I could force her to back away, maybe settle. I just...
Need something I can use against her.
Until you have something, all you can do
is your job.
What about Roy?
What about Roy?
He could lose his position as city attorney over this verdict.
You're not thinking
about telling him? That'll be career suicide.
Yes?
Is this too late?
Never for you.
Good, 'cause I'm standing at your door.
You prepping
for tomorrow?
I wasn't snooping.
Thank you.
You have both Preston and Terry on your witness list.
Are you planning on calling them both?
Well, I don't know yet.
Am I supposed to tell you all my strategies now?
I guess I just wanted
to see you.
- I had a rough day. - Me, too.
Julia's in the hospital. She was down here for a party
and broke her leg, has to have surgery.
Roy, I'm sorry.
That really puts things into perspective,
doesn't it?
I should go.
Perfect.
You don't have to...
Is everything okay?
I can tell something is not right.
I'm fine.
Tell Julia I'm rooting for her.
"South Knoll."
Lee Anne's attorney came to see you.
Jamie Sawyer.
What did you tell her?
That Lee Anne's a lying whore.
That seded me, that she, uh...
liked to play rough.
That she wanted me to steal GHB for her.
Ronnie... When I interviewed you,
you gave her a glowing review.
You told me that she was a model officer.
Lee Anne came to see me here.
She promised me things.
I was scared.
But you're... willing
to tell me now?
You're willing to tell a jury?
I'm ready to expose her to the whole world
for what she really is.
This is the first time we've ever woken up together.
Are you wishing you kicked me out last night?
I did kick you out, but you wouldn't listen.
Yeah. And after a while,
you stopped talking.
Roy starts calling witnesses today,
saying what a terrible person I am.
Are you gonna be one of them?
They haven't called me; They're afraid of what I'll say.
Especially since they took my badge.
Hey. I have to go.
I have an appeal this morning.
Disciplinary board.
After all this, you still want to be a cop?
Never wanted to be anything else.
I got a nose for bad people.
How long have you been a police officer,
Detective Cruz?
I was a New York City police officer for nine years
before I came to Charleston.
Been here one.
And... are you aware of the tape
that depicts Ms. Marcus engaging in group sex
with a series of officers?
Of course.
It's all over the news.
Were you there the night the tape was made?
Yes, I was. And in your opinion,
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
