00:25.
00:29.
00:30Hey.
00:31The show's over here.
00:32Oh, okay.
00:33.
00:34Name of the disease?
00:37Dakota Manning, a.k.a. Glenn Whitney.
00:40The club owner Oliver Dupree founder.
00:42Him.
00:43The body.
00:44Let's get Mr. Dupree in here.
00:47.
00:49I don't have a way to make an exit.
00:52.
00:55Are you just going to labor like that, Mr. Dupree?
00:58Mr. DeVry?
00:59Darling, tonight I wish I weren't.
01:01Pardon me.
01:02I have to deal with some looky-loos.
01:05Dakota was my greatest star.
01:07I have to protect her.
01:08Can you tell us what happened?
01:10Around 7, I was passing by here, and I heard Glenn behind closed doors with somebody.
01:14Now, I did not recognize the voice, but they were arguing something fierce.
01:19Was the voice male or female?
01:22Male.
01:23Although you can never be too sure here at the illusion room.
01:26What were they fighting about?
01:27Inspector, my mother was a simple girl from Abilene when she bought this place, and she
01:31taught me, when your castle's full of queens, you stay on the other side of the moat.
01:36But when Dakota didn't show up on stage by 8.30, I came looking.
01:42Thank you for your help.
01:45Okay.
01:49I've seen my sheriff freak accident.
01:50Something tells me he didn't trip, fall, and drown in there.
01:53Definitely sounds of a struggle.
01:54Yeah, no shortage of suspects, either.
01:57If the body was discovered at 8.30, that means the whole audience would have been here.
02:01Break a leg, superstar.
02:04Ladies and gentlemen, I am Inspector Lindsay Boxer from the San Francisco Police Department.
02:22Uh, please, take your seats.
02:24Come on.
02:25Come on.
02:26Come on.
02:27Come on.
02:28Come on.
02:29There's been a murder.
02:30So much for glamour.
02:34Subconjunctival hemorrhage.
02:36He was heaving hard enough to blow the blood vessels in his eyes.
02:37Gastric contents indicate a standard issue crudite plate.
02:50Explains how you're a size for your skinny thing.
02:54There's menthol in my purse if you need it.
02:58No.
02:59Someone's already got dibs on it.
03:00Roses, espresso, fresh baked cinnamon buns.
03:03I'm fine.
03:04What do you think, Claire?
03:05If you hadn't pointed out the signs of struggle, I'd have slipped textbook drug overdose.
03:09But he did drown.
03:10Can't say definitely till the autopsy.
03:14That audience is full of surly lawyers who claim we have no right to hold them.
03:19They're making this out to be some kind of a gay gitmo.
03:22I'm on it.
03:23Hi, folks.
03:26Hi.
03:27I know you've been waiting a while.
03:28This is terrible.
03:29Dakota was an icon in the gay community.
03:32She hosted charity events.
03:34She grand marshalled the pride parade.
03:36How did you get in here?
03:38The bouncers know me.
03:39I'm graced to, like, ten wills in this city.
03:42Well, then you're the perfect person to ask around about Glen Whitney.
03:45Can you find out who hated him enough to take him for a swim?
03:47My friend Dominic works at the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Center.
03:50If he can't offer up some leads, no one can.
03:52Well, sadly, there is someone else.
03:57Glen made sure I took my medicine every morning.
04:00He'd stand there, glass of water in one hand, fistful of horse pills in the other,
04:05and cheer as I down them.
04:07Oh, it's ridiculous.
04:08I know.
04:09But he was hell-bent on killing my cancer with kindness.
04:13And he did.
04:14I've been in remission three months.
04:16How long were you two together, Mr. Ford?
04:18Ten years.
04:19Um, and it's Bruce.
04:20Were you involved in the show, too?
04:21Glen recruited all the talent for Dakota Manning's cabaret, drag array.
04:25I made them spectacular.
04:28Had he had any, uh, recent conflicts with anyone?
04:31No. Why?
04:32Before the show, Mr. Dupree said that he heard Glen arguing in his dressing room.
04:36That's not possible.
04:37While he was transforming, Glen never received visitors.
04:40Not even me.
04:41He'd hold himself up, mix himself a dirty martini,
04:44and, uh, he wouldn't emerge until Curtin.
04:47What is it?
04:48There were some guys at the club a few weeks ago.
04:52Drunk, homophobic, punks looking to make trouble.
04:55They heckled Dakota, and she gave it right back to them.
04:58Ripped into them until they left with their tail between their legs.
05:01Now, I'm not a big believer in coincidence.
05:04Neither are we.
05:05But that night, the cars in the lot were vandalized.
05:08Glen just took the brunt of it.
05:10Windows were smashed.
05:12All of his costumes were stolen.
05:13Some of my best work.
05:15Did she call the police?
05:16Yes.
05:17But without names or eyewitnesses, they said there was nothing they could do.
05:20Please don't tell me I'm gonna hear that again.
05:22Not from us.
05:27You know, property crimes really needs to step it up.
05:30I pulled the report for the car vandalism at the illusion room.
05:33There are no photographs.
05:35The address is wrong.
05:36The event description is blank.
05:38I mean, we're trying to solve a homicide?
05:40This is the in-house help we get?
05:42Jacobi?
05:43What's that?
05:44Nothing.
05:45Nothing.
05:49Babcock got us a group discount at the International House of Tithes.
05:55I'll put it away.
05:56Well, why would you do that?
05:57Because it's a 100% silk reminder of your ex-husband's wedding.
06:00Some would find it distracting.
06:02I am laser focused on this case.
06:04A little Italian neckwear isn't gonna distract me.
06:06Can we please fast forward to Sunday when this stupid wedding will be over with?
06:11It's all anybody can talk about.
06:13You were just talking about it, weren't you?
06:16Actually the opposite.
06:17As in where you, Cindy, and I will be instead.
06:20The transcendence spa come experience bliss.
06:24I hate bliss.
06:25We know.
06:26But nothing rids the body of impurities and thoughts of your ex-husband's nuptials faster than a green tea body wrap.
06:33I would rather have a bathtub full of bourbon.
06:36I just got Glenn Whitney's preliminary blood work back.
06:40He had GHB in his system. Causes euphoria, increased sex drive.
06:43I checked with Glenn's partner. He swears he didn't use.
06:45Well, GHB isn't always recreational.
06:47Yeah, it's the date rape drug.
06:49A GHB overdose matches what we observed at the scene.
06:52An autopsy should confirm it.
06:54Okay. Let's meet back here at the end of the day.
06:56About that?
06:58As you all know, while you're all transcending tomorrow, I'm gonna be at Tom's wedding.
07:03And I'm not happy about it. My allegiance lies with you.
07:05But getting out of the house and seeing old co-workers is the first thing my husband has been looking forward to in months.
07:13Well, so what's the problem?
07:15The problem is everyone in homicide wants their autopsies before the big day and I'm buried.
07:19Something only complicated by I'm taking a half day today.
07:26You know this means you'll be dealing with my sub.
07:28I've thought of my ex-husband's wedding.
07:30There you are. Off the lead about Glenn Whitney's car, I stopped by the Gay and Lesbian Center's hate crime office.
07:36Here's a copy of their report on the incident.
07:39Okay, this is what I call a case file.
07:42Anyway, am I the only one who sees Greek letters scratched in there?
07:45Pi Theta Delta.
07:47And the only school in the city with a chapter of that frat is four miles from the illusion room.
07:56S.F.P.D., can we come in?
08:02Uh...
08:04Hmm, sounds like a yes to me.
08:10What is that smell?
08:12Miss spent youth.
08:14All right, everyone against the wall. Let's go.
08:32Dude, I got a two o'clock final.
08:44Cry me a river, doll.
08:47Do any of these fine young men look familiar?
08:54The one in the gray sweatshirt and the two on the far right.
08:57They were Dakota's hecklers, no doubt.
08:59Those are his dresses.
09:00You got three positive IDs.
09:02Well, for the vandalism and property theft, yes.
09:05I just got off the phone with the chapter president.
09:07Pi Theta Delta hosted a toy drive for the children's hospital the night of the murder.
09:11All the boys were apparently accounted for.
09:14So they just get to go home.
09:16They're not going home to much.
09:18Once I file hazing and underage drinking charges with the university,
09:21that house of theirs, as good as gone.
09:24May I have Glenn's things now?
09:28Uh, we can only release personal belongings to family members, spouses, or children.
09:35Do you have a certificate of domestic partnership?
09:40Did Glenn have a will?
09:41When I was sick, I wanted us both to draw one up, but he refused.
09:44He said it meant I was surrendering to the cancer.
09:47Now what happens?
09:49Intestacy laws dictate his remains and property passed to next of kin.
09:53To his parents, the ones who disowned him.
09:56Glenn would not want that.
09:59This is a nightmare.
10:01Our house is in his name.
10:03I can help file a temporary restraining order against the family.
10:06It'll buy you some time.
10:07It'll prevent them from barging in and taking things.
10:10Otherwise, there's not much else we can do.
10:13I'm sorry.
10:18Busy?
10:20Uh, just... just a little turn of taps and loose ends before...
10:25What's up?
10:27Glenn, Whitney's domestic partner, was just here.
10:30And seeing how he wasn't really prepared to be one half of a couple all of a sudden.
10:40I mean, sometimes it's not all of a sudden.
10:41Sometimes, you know, it's gradual.
10:43Whatever way it happens, it's sad.
10:47I mean, he didn't get a chance to tie up loose ends.
10:49You know, he didn't get a chance to say goodbye.
10:51And it just made me think about how important it was to mark the end of something.
10:58And, you know, make sure things end on a good note.
11:02Lynn's...
11:03Tomorrow is... it's a... it's a big day for you.
11:06And...
11:09In a way, it is for me, too.
11:11But...
11:12Truthfully, Tom, I just... I just wanted to extend my warmest...
11:17Tom!
11:18It's a disaster.
11:19Buffalo snowed in.
11:20The airport is shut down and my entire family is stuck.
11:23Who's gonna walk me down the aisle?
11:24We're gonna have three empty tables at the... reception.
11:28Oh, my God, you're in the middle of something.
11:29Actually...
11:30No.
11:31No.
11:32It's okay.
11:33We're done.
11:38The Whitney autopsy is your first order of business.
11:41Not according to the case number.
11:42Okay.
11:45Inspector Boxer is expecting a quick turnaround, so if...
11:48The order received is the order cleaved.
11:52That's protocol.
11:55Bernhard, an act of God has left one of our colleagues in crisis.
11:58Now, I've asked our office to roll up its sleeves.
12:01Sure. What do you need?
12:02Excellent.
12:03Clear your schedule tomorrow.
12:04We're going to Lieutenant Hogan's wedding.
12:08Tomorrow's no good.
12:09I have plans.
12:10Uncancellable plans.
12:11With a friend with a crisis of her own.
12:13This is a move to bolster interdepartmental relations.
12:16It's a work function, i.e. mandatory.
12:18Anything else?
12:19Good.
12:20Details are on my e-bite.
12:21My computer is down.
12:22Three o'clock, marina plaza, plus one and oh, it's a green event, so put together carpool.
12:28Linz.
12:29We've got good news and bad news.
12:32The bad news is mostly terrible for me because I'm being forced by the evil powers that be to miss Spa Day in favor of Tom's wedding.
12:39The good news is, you're going to be getting some one-on-one bonding time with...
12:44Ta-da!
12:47Do you think I'm going to talk too much?
12:49No.
12:50It's just that Glenn Whitney's date book is preoccupying me.
12:55Obviously, because you ignored the words me forced in Tom's wedding.
12:59Well, I had a hunch.
13:01Denise has been running around telling everyone how she saved the day.
13:04Wouldn't she just?
13:05Anyway, um, Glenn had meetings with a guy named Thaddeus once a week and taped to the page of today.
13:11There's a check made out to Thaddeus and I have no idea for what.
13:14It wasn't a wig fitting if they met at the Hotel Eureka.
13:17That place is male prostitute central.
13:20He was cheating on Bruce.
13:22Maybe Thaddeus fought with Glenn in his dressing room.
13:24Well, hustlers have plenty of access to GHB.
13:27I know, I prosecuted my share.
13:29I guess it's check-in time at the Hotel Eureka.
13:38There he is.
13:41That is Prescott.
13:42We have to ask you a few questions about Glenn Whitney.
13:44Why?
13:45What's going on?
13:46You tell us.
13:47We'll see one of your clients.
13:48Oh, no, no, no.
13:49You've got the wrong idea, man.
13:50Uh-huh.
13:51Then what exactly is your relationship with Glenn Whitney?
13:55He's my father.
13:59Glenn's contract with the sperm bank said that he'd be cool with a one-time meeting once I turned 18.
14:10How was that get-together?
14:11It was pretty trippy.
14:13Most people would be shocked to find out their biological father was gay,
14:18much less a renowned drag queen.
14:20Yeah.
14:21But the more that I thought about it, the more it answered a lot of major questions,
14:25like why I'm an outsider in my own family, why I don't share their dreams for me.
14:30You know?
14:31Grow up, go to Penn, become a stockbroker.
14:34What-what do you got in there?
14:36Martin's 17 series.
14:38Same as Dylan's.
14:39It's nice.
14:40Yeah, I saved up two summers to buy that.
14:42You play?
14:43You should hear his purple haze.
14:46Well, then you get why I wanted Glenn to be a part of my life.
14:49I mean, he was a performer, too.
14:50It didn't really matter to me what kind.
14:52That's why he started making donations to the fertility clinic in the first place.
14:55The money helped keep him afloat while he refined his act.
14:59It's pretty cool, huh?
15:01To think that I'm in this world because of his art.
15:03And how about Glenn's partner, Bruce?
15:05Uh, did he know you were in the world?
15:07He was real sick at that point.
15:10Glenn thought that it would be too big a bomb to drop.
15:13He was gonna tell him eventually, but until then we met in secret.
15:16And he'd give you money?
15:17Yeah, to help me out.
15:18My parents really aren't so cool with the whole music thing.
15:21Oh, not so cool.
15:22I should have been there last night.
15:23They showed up all ballistic and tried to drag me home.
15:26Like, I don't have enough drama living in that place as it is.
15:28We screamed at each other for, like, an hour.
15:30What time was this?
15:317.30 by the time they left.
15:33Better not before Glenn Whitney turned up dead.
15:36Thaddeus, we're gonna need to talk to them.
15:39Why?
15:40You don't think that...
15:43No.
15:44They're Republicans.
15:45They're not murderers.
15:46Besides, they didn't even know Glenn.
15:48They never knew that I tracked him down.
15:50In my experience, parents know everything.
15:53A homosexual impregnated my wife.
15:56You didn't know?
15:5718 years ago, the clinics didn't keep as much personal data on donors.
16:00If I'd been made aware, I'd...
16:02We'd have never let any part of that...
16:07...pervert near her.
16:09I'm sorry.
16:12We're taught to hate the sin, love the sinner.
16:15To think that our son has been lying to us this whole time.
16:19Thaddeus mentioned that you all haven't been getting along recently.
16:237.50 on his math, SAT.
16:26And he wants to be a rock star.
16:28You're damn right we're not getting along.
16:30There was an argument at the hotel.
16:32What did you go after?
16:33To Reverend Dodd, our pastor.
16:36We're not monsters, Inspector.
16:38Our only crime is loving our son too much.
16:41It's not easy letting go, but...
16:44We're trying.
16:49Okay.
16:50We'll be in touch.
16:52Today?
16:53Mm-hmm.
16:56Awkward for me telling a Baptist you've been impregnated by a drag queen.
17:10That wasn't for you.
17:17What is this?
17:18Uh, this is a non-bullpen conversation.
17:20Now look, I know you've had a rough week.
17:22Oh, please don't.
17:23Please!
17:24All I'm saying is, if you need me, I will blow off this wedding.
17:28It's not pity.
17:29Hell, we won't even call it commiseration.
17:30It's just two partners burying themselves in a case on a Saturday afternoon.
17:34Well, as much as I would like to take you up on that,
17:37someone has already beaten you to the babysitting gig, so...
17:41Go and enjoy yourself.
17:44I'm serious.
17:46Go!
17:49Jacoby.
18:08Would you lovely ladies like some champagne?
18:10Yes.
18:11Yes.
18:12I'll come with you.
18:13Yeah.
18:16Damn, my boys are cute.
18:18Speaking of cute.
18:20Laurence, you're Colby.
18:21You clean up good.
18:22You know, I try.
18:24So where's your date?
18:26Why bring a snack to an all-you-can-eat buffet?
18:30Ladies.
18:31Wow.
18:32Oh, these are so delicious.
18:35All right.
18:37I'm almost forgetting to feel guilty about not being with Lindsay.
18:40You know what?
18:42We did all we could.
18:45From this moment on,
18:47I propose that we focus our full attention on the fantastic men in our lives
18:52and being exactly where we are.
18:57That might be easier said than done.
19:05Who's ready for a hand and foot fantasy?
19:13Um, I left a message for Claire's sub Roberta to call me on my cell as soon as she is done with the Whitney autopsy.
19:23Am I forgetting anything?
19:25Um, no.
19:28No, not forgetting.
19:30What was that?
19:31What?
19:32That hesitation.
19:34And now the lack of eye contact and the foot tapping.
19:36What?
19:37You should wait until tomorrow.
19:38I promised Jill and Claire I would keep you on a very specific schedule.
19:42You know you want to tell me or we'd be out the door by now.
19:44This morning I was at Bruce's apartment getting some anecdotes from my article.
19:48He gave me these.
19:49They're from Glenn's computer.
19:52If you want to be a woman, drag pig my knife can make it happen.
19:57One vile, threatening email a day for three months straight.
20:01From Karen Adams at SFGLC.org.
20:05It's the gay and lesbian center server.
20:06They have an internet cafe that offers free email accounts.
20:10I was going to stop by and ask around a bit.
20:12Yes.
20:13Go do that.
20:14It will take me two minutes to find Karen Adams' home address.
20:16Ten minutes to do a stop by.
20:18Yeah.
20:19I'll call the spa, push our appointments a half hour.
20:21Yeah.
20:22Yeah.
20:23Jill and Claire never have to know, right?
20:24Yeah.
20:26I like your style, Thomas.
20:27Hi.
20:28I'm Lindsey Boxer, San Francisco Police Department.
20:29I'm looking for Karen Adams.
20:30Yeah, she's not home.
20:31Are you her roommate?
20:32Yeah.
20:33Well, do you happen to know where she is?
20:34She hasn't been around all weekend.
20:35Look, I'm late for work.
20:36Boxer.
20:37Did you find her?
20:38No, I met the roommate though.
20:39He couldn't be bothered.
20:40Lindsay, that may have been her.
20:41No, the roommate's a guy.
20:42No, Karen Adams is better known as Buzz Baltimore.
20:43She's a drag king.
20:44Hang on, I'm sending you a picture.
20:45Hang on, I'm sending you a picture.
20:47Oh, no.
20:48Oh, no.
20:49Oh, no.
20:50Oh, no.
20:51Oh, no.
20:52Oh, no.
20:53Oh, no.
20:54Oh, no.
20:55Oh, no.
20:56Oh, no.
20:57Oh, no.
20:58Oh, no.
20:59Oh, no.
21:00Oh, no.
21:01Oh, no.
21:02Oh, no.
21:03Oh, no.
21:04Oh, no.
21:05Oh, no.
21:06Oh, no.
21:07Oh, no.
21:08Oh, no.
21:09Oh, no.
21:10Oh, no.
21:11Oh, no.
21:12Oh, no.
21:13Oh, no.
21:14Oh, no.
21:15Oh, no.
21:16Hey, Buzz.
21:17We weren't properly introduced.
21:30So I know it's none of my business, but I've got to ask.
21:35Denise.
21:36Well, I couldn't wait around for you forever.
21:38Denise.
21:39She's beautiful, smart, successful.
21:43Forbaring, cutthroat, backstabbing.
21:46You obviously don't know her.
21:48Still, do my department a favor, keep her happy, and away from us for the next four hours.
21:53We need a break.
21:54So your job is impersonating Bobby Darin.
22:08Do you do Mac the knife?
22:09After all, it is about a murderer.
22:14I'm not too bright sending Glenn Whitney threats from your personal email account.
22:19Screw that.
22:20I'm protecting myself.
22:21Okay, we're already recording this.
22:26I can make you a copy.
22:28No, thanks.
22:29Let's get back to Glenn Whitney.
22:34He was a vicious old queen who was out to get me.
22:37Oh, so you're the victim.
22:38That show of his guarantees exposure.
22:40Not to mention decent cash, so I auditioned.
22:42Twice.
22:43What was his response?
22:44Nothing.
22:45Until I find out he's been bad-mouthing me to other club owners around town.
22:48Saying that I'm unprofessional.
22:50After that, people stopped hiring me.
22:52You had a gig tonight.
22:53For free.
23:02Why couldn't you just accept that maybe Glenn Whitney didn't like your act?
23:05He was a short-sighted misogynist like the rest of them.
23:08See, when a man straps it down, throws on a dress, everyone calls it fabulous.
23:12But when a chick dresses up like a guy, all he feels threatened.
23:17I'm starting to think you're the threatened one, Karen.
23:19Threatened enough to poison Glenn Whitney.
23:21It surprises me, though.
23:23A tough broad like yourself choosing such a cowardly way to do it.
23:26Is it cowardly to ask for a lawyer?
23:31Excuse me, I'm looking for Inspector Boxer.
23:33Sorry.
23:34I don't know when she'll be back.
23:35Could you just tell her that Thaddeus Prescott was here?
23:38Thaddeus?
23:39Hi.
23:40I'm Cindy Thomas.
23:41I'm covering Glenn's story for the register.
23:43Oh, hey.
23:44Listen, this might sound forward, but I've been in contact with Glenn's partner, Bruce.
23:49He's obviously having a rough time, too.
23:51Anyway, I just thought if you wanted to contact him, I could, uh...
23:57Here's my card.
24:02Excuse me.
24:04Thaddeus?
24:05How's it going?
24:06Moved home yesterday.
24:09Found it in my dad's study.
24:13They were trying to file a restraining order against Glenn?
24:15Yeah, but look.
24:16It's dated six months ago.
24:17That's when he and I first met.
24:18They knew about him all along.
24:20Right, so why wouldn't they have said something to me?
24:22Why would they have lied to you?
24:24Unless...
24:25Do you have a friend you can stay with?
24:28Good.
24:29Go there and wait for my call, okay?
24:41Roberta, I asked you to call when you finished the Whitney autopsy.
24:44I did.
24:46On my cell.
24:47I've been waiting for this information for you to walk me through it.
24:49Well, I'm off the clock now.
24:51If you want this conversation to continue, you should contact the Chief Medical Examiner's Office.
24:55Request an overtime approval form.
24:57Okay, you know what?
24:58You, I don't need.
25:01Unbelievable.
25:03We are gathered here today to recognize the bond that you have declared
25:06and to hold it up for all to see.
25:08With that in our hearts and minds,
25:10Thomas Daniel Hogan.
25:12Do you take Heather to be your wedded wife?
25:15To live together in...
25:19To live together in marriage,
25:21Do you promise to love, honor, cherish, and keep her?
25:25For richer, for poorer...
25:26Claire.
25:28Hello?
25:30...signess and in health, forsaking all others,
25:33and being faithful only to her for as long as you both shall live.
25:39I do.
25:42And Heather Marie Donnelly,
25:44do you take this man to be your husband?
25:47To live together in...
25:51What happened?
25:55He said I did.
25:56You found your date yet?
25:57This is not a process you can rush.
26:01You found your date yet?
26:13This is not a process you can rush.
26:19We're doing shots.
26:24Oh no.
26:26Everybody.
26:27Drink.
26:28Drink.
26:29She's doing the conga line by herself.
26:43When I asked you to keep her happy, I didn't even get her blitzed.
26:46That woman's got a hollow leg.
26:49What's the secret?
26:51No?
26:52No.
26:53Come on, dance with me.
26:55Dance with me.
26:57Huh.
26:58Speaking of dancing, has anyone seen my wife?
27:04Oh, not yet.
27:06What?
27:07No, no, no.
27:08You are not getting out of the hokey pokey.
27:10Let's go.
27:11I'm surprised you haven't kicked me out.
27:12No, we've all been there.
27:14What's this?
27:15Someone needed my rush input on an autopsy.
27:18And the chef was kind enough to let me use his fax.
27:21Someone who?
27:22Um...
27:23Tom?
27:24I've been looking all over for you.
27:27Did you sneak out and smoke a cigar?
27:29No, sweetheart.
27:30I did not.
27:31Lovely wedding.
27:38Did you see either one of these people at the club the night of the murder?
27:43All of me wants to say yes, but...
27:46Oh, everyone's gonna be so disappointed.
27:49We were hoping for some closure before the memorial service tonight.
27:54You should come.
27:56The illusion room wasn't nothing but a gin mill with a jukebox before Glenn walked in the door.
28:02He was my good luck charm.
28:04I owe him everything.
28:06Um, thank you for coming in.
28:16How much do you hate me?
28:18Not as much as an eco-conscious kindergarten teacher hates me.
28:21I'm so sorry.
28:22It was asinine to call.
28:24I just...
28:25I was blinded by rage.
28:27My fault for leaving you with Roberta.
28:30Okay.
28:31Autopsy showed pulmonary edema.
28:33Put simply, Glenn Whitney had water in his lungs.
28:35So he did drown.
28:36Uh, what about the GHB?
28:38I'm looking at the complete tox analysis.
28:40The levels in his system topped out at 30 milligrams per liter.
28:44And in most overdoses, that number is over 100.
28:46So the killer underdosed him.
28:48Not surprising.
28:49If you bought it on the street, there'd be no way of telling how concentrated it was.
28:51Which is why our murderer moved to plan B, shoving Glenn's head in the toilet.
28:56Okay.
28:57Have fun at the party.
28:59Bye.
29:01Alright, so we have two sets of suspects.
29:03And since Karen Adams hasn't been assigned a public defender yet, I can't talk to her,
29:07so...
29:08Prescott's a diss.
29:09I'm gonna pay them a visit and ask them why they lied about not knowing Glenn Whitney,
29:12and I can drop you at home.
29:13Uh-uh.
29:14No, no, no, no, no, no.
29:15I promised Jill and Claire that I wouldn't leave you.
29:17That was when we were spying, and now I'm working.
29:20Lindsay, you just heard your ex-husband's wedding vows.
29:23Have you taken five minutes to process how huge that is?
29:26Why would you?
29:27You're a hardened homicide inspector.
29:30Here's the thing.
29:32At some point, you're gonna be hit with a wave of loss and sadness so massive,
29:36you're not even gonna be able to breathe, so will you just shut up and let me be here for you?
29:44Let's go.
29:45See, your weddings aren't all that bad.
29:49I mean, can't you see yourself in a white dress,
29:52surrounded by solar-powered twinkle lights and fair-trade floral arrangements?
29:56Honey.
29:57I know.
29:58I know.
29:59Not your thing.
30:00To tell you the truth, I, uh, I have been thinking about taking the next steps
30:04in order to protect what we have and who we are to each other.
30:10Luke, will you draw up papers for living wills and durable power of attorney with me?
30:22Of course I will.
30:24You son of a fool.
30:26Kiss me.
30:27Yeah?
30:28Yeah.
30:31Hey.
30:34You, uh, leaving?
30:35Well, let's just say Cinderella's on borrowed time.
30:37Oh, you need a hand man?
30:39She seems to be missing a shoe.
30:42Oh.
30:43Hey.
30:44Come on.
30:45Let's get going.
30:46Come on.
30:47Here you can.
30:48Come on.
30:49Hey, get off.
30:50I'm fine.
30:51Listen, you don't want to have any regrets come Monday, so I'm taking home.
30:54I'm just gonna take you home.
30:55You're just trying to get rid of me, okay?
30:56Don't think that I haven't seen you and Bernhard flirting all night.
31:00Right in front of me.
31:02You're my date.
31:03Okay, maybe we should take this outside.
31:05What are you saying?
31:06Maybe you should take me home.
31:07Huh?
31:08And he can go screw your girlfriend behind your back again.
31:11Sorry, not behind your back.
31:13On her desk.
31:19Denise, come on.
31:20Well, that was a long fun.
31:21Let's go, man.
31:22I'm fine.
31:23Watch yourself.
31:24Hey, hey, hey.
31:25Let go.
31:26I'm good.
31:27Excuse me.
31:28Excuse me.
31:29Taxi.
31:30Luke?
31:31Luke?
31:32Luke!
31:33Let me explain.
31:35Is that true?
31:37Yeah.
31:38What's sad is that I'm not even surprised.
31:39How can I fix this?
31:40How can I fix this?
31:41Just tell me and I'll do it.
31:42Just tell me and I'll do it.
31:43Just tell me and I'll do it.
31:44I don't have to do so.
31:45Hey, hey, hey.
31:46Let go.
31:47I'm good.
31:48Excuse me.
31:49Excuse me.
31:50Excuse me.
31:51Taxi.
31:52Luke!
31:53Luke!
31:54Is that true?
31:58Yeah.
32:04What's sad is that I'm not even surprised.
32:07How can I fix this?
32:09Just tell me and I'll do it. Whatever it is, I'll do it.
32:12No, no, no. You can't fix this.
32:14You know, it was clear to me from the beginning that you were only half in this,
32:17but that was okay because I loved you.
32:19That's not true.
32:20Now, yeah, that is true because now it's apparent that you were never in this. Never.
32:23Luke, please.
32:24I'm sorry.
32:36Hello?
32:37It's over.
32:38What?
32:39Luke found out about Hanson. He left. My purse and keys are in his car.
32:43I need you to come pick me up.
32:45Hang on a second. Where's Clara?
32:47Please? I can't go back in there.
32:49Okay. Meet me out back in 10.
32:52Hanson.
33:00Hans, I am so sorry.
33:02What? Having a relationship meltdown? Don't be.
33:05But just at the risk of sounding insensitive, let's get the hell out of here.
33:08How'd y'all get here so fast?
33:09We were on our way to talk to the press guys.
33:11Are they your prime suspects?
33:12Right now they're in a dead heat with this Karen Adams.
33:15She's a male impersonator, performs under the name Buzz Baltimore.
33:18Wow, you two have missed a lot.
33:19Does she have motive?
33:20Yes.
33:21Besides being completely bizarre, I've never seen anything like it.
33:25She spaces out, she laughs uncontrollably.
33:27She even pulled out a tape recorder in the middle of my questioning.
33:30Is she narcoleptic?
33:31Did she conk out in the middle of my interview? No.
33:35But like two seconds after I put her in the holding cell, she was out like a light.
33:39Well, all the things you've mentioned are classic symptoms.
33:41A tape recorder is a symptom?
33:42Because narcoleptics often have no memory of previous conversations.
33:45They tend to carry them.
33:46Sounds terrible.
33:47But it just made Karen Adams pull ahead of the Prescott's as a suspect.
33:50Narcoleptics are treated with sodium oxabate, also known as GHB.
33:54Excuse me.
33:56I was looking for Tom.
33:58Have you seen him?
33:59We haven't.
34:00I didn't mean to...
34:02You need to leave.
34:03Absolutely.
34:04No.
34:05All of you.
34:06I'm sorry, don't take this the wrong way.
34:08I don't want to be a bitch, but this is my wedding.
34:11And you're not doing me any favors by being here when I know that you would all rather be somewhere else.
34:16You can't stay off the phone.
34:18You were the center of a drunken spectacle.
34:20I don't even know you.
34:22And you, crashing weddings and lurking in the alley.
34:26This can't be fun for you.
34:28It's not.
34:29He's not yours anymore, Lindsay.
34:32So do yourself a favor and let him go.
34:38We checked for fingerprints again on the toilet, walls, and the light switch.
34:52Zilch on the blood and hair.
34:53I mean, there's nothing that suggests anyone but Glen Whitney was in there.
34:56Hey!
34:57Jill got a search warrant for Karen Adams' medical records.
34:59She's on the film with her doctor now.
35:01That's good news.
35:02Prescription for GHB isn't enough to tie her to the murder.
35:05We need forensic evidence.
35:11How could she strangle someone in here and not touch anything?
35:13I don't think certain.
35:14Karen may be narcoleptic, but she's not claustrophobic.
35:17Couldn't be that and pull this off.
35:18You're right.
35:20Okay, Claire, I need to simulate the position of Glen's corpse.
35:23Does the tech have a forensic dummy?
35:25No, he rushed over with a bare bones kit.
35:27Just use me.
35:31Alright.
35:32Um, Glen's out of it, throwing up.
35:34Karen sees an opportunity, comes up behind.
35:36Uh-uh, uh-uh.
35:37There was no bruising.
35:38It's impossible.
35:39Unless the killer used her feet.
35:41You know, it'd be tough for him to balance with the victim fighting back.
35:46Yeah, but doable if she had something to hang on to.
35:53Rizzo!
35:56Karen Adams was on antidepressants, migraine medication, and allergy pills, but no sodium oxabate.
36:02Damn it.
36:07We're setting up for the tribute.
36:08There's food if you'd like.
36:09I could go for some emotional eating.
36:11You?
36:12Yes.
36:13Guess what?
36:14He found a print.
36:15Finally.
36:16He's gonna lift it and meet us back at the hall.
36:17In the meantime, I'm gonna check Glen Whitney's body and see if it has something else to tell us.
36:22Now, if this were my autopsy, I'd have shaved Glen's head right off the bat.
36:26But, why do something yourself when you can hand it over to a work-shy, ill-mannered counterpart?
36:31Are we supposed to answer her?
36:33No, that's not necessary.
36:34Luke texted me.
36:35He's staying at a hotel tonight and moving out of the apartment tomorrow.
36:39It's all happening so fast.
36:40Nothing's happened yet.
36:41Maybe you both need to sleep on it, you know?
36:42Things could be very different tomorrow.
36:43I don't think so.
36:44Jill, we've got it covered here, okay?
36:45Go home, get some rest.
36:46Honestly, this case is the only thing keeping me from losing it.
36:47Well, now you know the method to my madness.
36:48Hello, gorgeous.
36:49A foot-shaped contusion on the occipital scalp, pronounced heel, tapering to the toe.
36:54Does Karen Adams wear boots?
36:55Yes, but not that kind.
36:56I don't think so.
36:57I don't think so.
36:58I don't think so.
36:59Maybe you both need to sleep on it, you know?
37:00Things could be very different tomorrow.
37:01I don't think so.
37:02Jill, we've got it covered here, okay?
37:03Go home, get some rest.
37:04Honestly, this case is the only thing keeping me from losing it.
37:06All right, I don't think so.
37:09We need to do it.
37:10We need to sleep on it just because we don't need to sleep on the occipital scalp, pronounced heel, tapering to the toe.
37:15Does Karen Adams wear boots?
37:16Yes, but not that kind.
37:19Well, I knew it was only a matter of time once you found fingerprints.
37:35Liquor license. Mine are on file with the state.
37:38Didn't need them.
37:40Your boots left an impression on the back of Glen Whitney's skull.
37:45Owning a nightclub is lonely.
37:49Sleep all day.
37:52Work all night.
37:54No time for boyfriends or family.
37:58Before long, the people you work with, they're your everything.
38:05Especially Glen.
38:08He wasn't nothing when he came to me.
38:11Just a tacky little queen lip syncing to Madonna.
38:15I made him into Dakota Manning.
38:18And in the end, that wasn't good enough.
38:21He needed options.
38:23Meaning?
38:24He was gonna leave me and start his own place.
38:27To make more money?
38:28That.
38:29And he wanted to surprise Bruce.
38:31He was gonna mark a whole new chapter in their lives
38:34now that the cancer was gone.
38:37So you snuck into his dressing room, poured GHB into his martini.
38:41Lied about hearing an argument to throw us off.
38:44It was supposed to be such a graceful exit.
38:47Until you had to drown him.
38:49Tell me why.
38:54He was mine, Inspector.
39:00I was never gonna let him go.
39:03I don't think anyone will disagree with me when I say today was a day.
39:16At least there's a shred of silver lining.
39:19As Glen's biological son, Thaddeus Prescott, is his next of kin.
39:22I'm assuming Bruce won't have as much trouble dealing with him as he would with Glen's estranged parents.
39:27Do you mind if I run with that?
39:28Speaking of family, I just spoke to mine and Ed, who had a wonderful time at the reception, went to bed.
39:34And the boys put some towels in the guest bedroom for you.
39:39Stay as long as you like.
39:41Thanks.
39:42The idea of facing an empty apartment makes me want to change the subject.
39:47Okay.
39:48You know what I hate about Heather?
39:51Every time I see her or talk to her, she says something that makes me respect her a little bit more.
40:03She's right.
40:05I need to let go.
40:07And it's weird.
40:09But tonight, I think I finally have.
40:14My grandma used to say that when one door closes, another always opens.
40:19Well, then a toast.
40:22To Cindy's grandma.
40:27He sounds like a smart cookie.
40:29My love has come along.
40:33My lonely days are over.
40:45And life is like a song.
40:53Oh, yeah, yeah.
40:55At last.
40:57For you are mine.
41:06Inspector Lindsey Boxer.
41:09Yes.
41:10Agent John Ash.
41:11FBI.
41:12I've been waiting for you.
41:13Do you always make it a point to show up on a girl's front stoop?
41:17Unannounced?
41:18Well, I do.
