It seems like you're looking for a description of another episode that doesn't fit the original sequence (which concluded with episode 10 as the season finale). If "And the Truth Will Sometimes Set You Free" is a special episode or part of a different storyline within WMC, here's a possible description:
"And the Truth Will Sometimes Set You Free" is a gripping episode of WMC that delves into the complexities of truth and its impact on relationships.

Short filmTranscript
00:01Streets are dry after that downpour last night.
00:04That was heavy, heavy rain flashing across the bay.
00:07I don't know. I can't talk about sex with Claire or Cindy.
00:11Jill, she has sex with anyone that moves.
00:15Okay, in your experience, is the third date too soon?
00:20I don't know either.
00:23By the way, the traffic lights have been turned the wrong direction.
00:27So you think you have a green light. In fact, it's red for you.
00:31Death draws a crowd.
00:33They're young. Death is fascinating.
00:35Started out a beautiful morning, but not for him.
00:38Colin Morse, 20. Still soaked from the rain.
00:42Two shots to the chest between midnight and two.
00:45He jogs at midnight?
00:46Fieldhouse custodian found him, ID'd him, said he always ran at midnight.
00:50And, uh, one of the entry wounds has powder burns.
00:54Someone put a gun right against this kid's chest and fired.
00:59That's angry.
01:05I'm so over being nostalgic about college.
01:08Claire says Pete bought you flowers and dinner at Aqua.
01:11That's scary. He's just too wonderful.
01:14What's going on?
01:16The dead guy was accused of rape a couple of months ago.
01:19I don't remember the case.
01:21There was no case.
01:22They arrested him and a friend.
01:23The A never filed.
01:24So the boys just walked?
01:25I guess everyone disagreed about what happened.
01:27Like, whether or not the girl was telling the truth.
01:34Looks like people still disagree.
01:36I agree.
01:45Colin Morse, he's the dead kid.
01:46And the girl is?
01:48Hammond Kate.
01:50Which dorm?
01:52Alright, thanks.
01:53Now, if you were raped and they didn't charge the guy, how would you feel?
01:57Not angry enough to kill him.
01:59Are you sure?
02:00Please, don't make me talk about that night.
02:08We want to hear your side of what happened.
02:10They raped me.
02:11That's my side.
02:13It's the most horrible thing ever.
02:18It happens to other people, not you.
02:20I remember them taking me down the stairs.
02:24I remember I didn't want to go, but I was drunk.
02:28I couldn't stop them.
02:30They understand the district attorney didn't file charges.
02:33They said I'd have been a bad witness because I was drunk.
02:39Where were you last night, Kate?
02:42Oh, wow.
02:43No.
02:44You guys think I'd kill Colin.
02:47We have to ask.
02:51What happened to you is horrifying, but...
02:53That night with Colin and Jay, it's not just about what happened or how it happened.
03:02It's what you feel every day.
03:05And you wonder if you're ever going to stop thinking about it.
03:07You're a strong girl. You'll get through this.
03:12I'm not glad he's dead, but I wanted him alive.
03:18I wanted to see Colin pay. Something. Anything.
03:22Now I'm not going to get that chance.
03:27My parents convinced me to sue them, you know.
03:30Make them pay.
03:34We hate to ask.
03:35We really do, but where were you last night?
03:39I had a dorm party with like a hundred people.
03:44I'll write down the ones I remember.
03:51My friends don't treat me the same way as they used to.
03:54Even my parents don't.
03:58They don't see me anymore.
04:00They just see what happened.
04:08She said she wanted him alive. Did she?
04:09I don't know.
04:11Since when did you walk away from a suspect without an opinion?
04:14I don't have opinions. I have theories.
04:17You're right. I'm listening.
04:18One thing I know, whoever shot Colin Morse, it's connected to this rape.
04:23I'm going to talk to this guy she accused, Jay Osborne.
04:27It wasn't rape.
04:29Let's be honest.
04:31I'm a good looking guy.
04:32I don't have to rape anyone.
04:34I think Kate Hammond would disagree.
04:37Okay, look.
04:38Morning after, she's hung over, feeling a little guilty about some of the choices that she made.
04:43That gets around, she cries rape.
04:46And now look what's happened.
04:48What do you think's happened, Jay?
04:50Colin is my best friend.
04:53I mean, was.
04:55No one had a reason to kill him.
04:57Except...
04:58Kate Hammond.
05:07Rape victim kills rapist, that's the story.
05:09Not yet it isn't. We don't know if she killed him.
05:10Do we think she was raped?
05:11Personally, yeah.
05:12She's 18.
05:13There's no upside for her, unless she's crazy, which she isn't.
05:16I read an interview in the campus paper, she doesn't sound like some pathetic creature who needs attention.
05:21Don't bring out the feminist guns.
05:22I'm not a feminist.
05:24Maybe I am, but it's not important.
05:25Look, the cops interviewed Kate Hammond today.
05:27It's all over the net.
05:28They're going to be protests about why these boys weren't prosecuted.
05:31There's the story. The DAs didn't do their job.
05:33Really?
05:34You brought it up.
05:36I want this on the website today.
05:41I really hope this girl didn't do it. It'll make the DA's office look awful.
05:48Then you better cover your ears.
05:51Alright. The first one. To the liver. The bullet travels straight. Now.
05:56If I walk up to you with a gun, what do you do?
05:59Take out mine.
06:00In this case, you don't have one. You either run or involuntarily back away. He didn't do either.
06:07Colin definitely knew his attacker.
06:10So whoever did it, shot once, watched him fall, then bit down, put the gun against his chest.
06:17Linz, tell me there's another suspect besides the girl.
06:20Not yet.
06:21You just said whoever shot him.
06:24Usually we assume he shot him cause it's mostly men.
06:27Sometimes we say she if we think it's a woman.
06:30You said whoever.
06:32What's wrong with that?
06:34I'm asking you a question and you know it.
06:37Did the girl kill him?
06:42Let's hope not.
06:51If you're thinking there's even a chance that girl did it, don't say it outside this building.
06:55I wouldn't do that anyway.
06:57Jacobi will find out her alibi is good, the search warrant turned up nothing, and we can all move on.
07:01How's Pete? Sleep with him yet?
07:03Don't be shy or anything.
07:05Get it over with. You'll feel better.
07:07Jill.
07:09Have you seen this?
07:11It says if Kate Hammond killed the boy, it's because we didn't do our job.
07:15Probably doesn't say that exactly.
07:16Really? Read the article.
07:17Failure of the justice system should they have prosecuted.
07:21Cut her off.
07:24This piece is irresponsible.
07:26Like some grade B law professor knows how to do my job.
07:29Actually, he teaches at Stanford.
07:31Hi. I called you for a comment. You didn't return my call.
07:34Paragraph in. You're saying by not prosecuting Colin Morse, our office got him killed.
07:39If it was Kate Hammond who pulled the trigger.
07:41If she did.
07:43It has nothing to do with us. There was no case to prosecute.
07:45The rape kit showed no bruising.
07:47Kate Hammond, she made out with five guys in one night.
07:50She drank whiskey out of a shot glass balanced on a boy's crotch.
07:53All we had was a rape counselor who believed she was traumatized.
07:57And Kate, you had her testimony.
08:00I don't have to defend this office to you.
08:02The system failed Kate Hammond.
08:04Cindy, even if that was true, and we don't know that it is, it doesn't justify killing the guy.
08:07And did we put her in that position?
08:10Sounds terrible, but what was she thinking? Going down to the basement with two boys.
08:14Wait a minute. With her blouse half off.
08:15What are you saying? She was asking for it? That's outrageous.
08:18Okay, okay. Enough. Round one. Over.
08:21Let's go.
08:26She's way overreacting.
08:28But it's fairly strange.
08:30Kate Hammond is a suspect, right?
08:32No comment.
09:00Night, Linz.
09:02You okay?
09:12I'm fine.
09:19Hey, you remember the Kendall case?
09:24The security guard who shot the drug dealer for harassing his wife?
09:29Yeah, you told me about it on our second date.
09:33One thing I never told you about.
09:37We went to arrest Kendall at his house.
09:39His kids were playing in the front hall.
09:42His wife.
09:45Toys all over the place.
09:46And I looked at him and I knew that this was a decent guy who made one mistake.
09:55When he was protecting his wife against garbage.
09:59But it was a homicide.
10:00I went.
10:01I went.
10:03Went back to my car.
10:05And I cried, Linz.
10:08I sat there alone behind the wheel.
10:11And I cried.
10:12I did what I had to do.
10:17I did what I had to do.
10:20But I didn't like doing it.
10:22You've been down here for half an hour.
10:31It was about the girl.
10:33It was about the girl.
10:36Yeah, it was about the girl.
10:42They raped her.
10:44And odds are she killed him.
10:45And if she did,
10:47I don't want to be the one that puts her away.
10:49If she killed him,
10:55do what you do.
11:01Good night.
11:11Hey, Boxer.
11:12How was your evening last night?
11:14Good morning.
11:16What's that about?
11:17The guys are running the pool.
11:20On whether you slept with your boyfriend yet.
11:23It's incredibly offensive.
11:25Did you pick yes or no?
11:26I only bet on sure things.
11:28Where are we on the girl's alibi?
11:30Well, Kate Hammond went to a dorm party.
11:32Easily a hundred people.
11:34We found 41.
11:35All of them saw Kate.
11:37And our interviews put her there until after 2 a.m.
11:4041 drunk kids is something short of an ironclad alibi.
11:43Well, out of the 41, only eight really matter.
11:46These were taken from eight kids' cell phones.
11:49Each is a photo of Kate.
11:51They were all taken before midnight until just after 2.
11:54Not more than 19 minutes between any of them.
11:57How far was the party from the track?
11:58Under half a mile.
12:00That's plenty of time to leave the party, kill them and get back.
12:04There's one minor problem.
12:06It was pouring rain.
12:07She's not wet in any of those pictures and her hair's the same.
12:10So she has to walk or drive half a mile.
12:13If she drives, there can't be any traffic.
12:15She has to shoot him, get back, not get her clothes wet or change into identical clothes and keep her hair dry and do it all in 19 minutes.
12:23It's impossible.
12:24Thought you believed she did it.
12:26I did.
12:27So did I.
12:29And all I've been thinking is if it turns out she killed him, I understand.
12:33If somebody laid a hand on my daughter, I'd sure want to go out and shoot him.
12:37Which raises a very interesting question.
12:39Kate Hammond's father was on the news this morning.
12:42The parents came to town after the rape accusation.
12:45And they're here again.
12:46Do you own a gun, Mr. Hammond?
12:52Your neighbors in Phoenix aren't sure when you left town.
12:56I could have killed the little scum.
12:58But no.
13:00I don't own a gun.
13:02I never have.
13:05You know, the death of this young man brought this back for all of us.
13:12We understand.
13:14After the rape, Kate couldn't focus on her classes.
13:18She lost her boyfriend from gas stations along the way.
13:24In case you need a check.
13:27We're talking to anyone who might have insight into this murder.
13:31Katie's boyfriend, Charlie Gifford.
13:34He was interviewed at the time of the rape.
13:36Charlie was a strength in Katie's life.
13:38And Charlie couldn't kill anyone, if that's what you mean.
13:43You're trying hard with this sensitivity, but you know what?
13:46You're full of it.
13:48We're just doing our job, Mr. Hammond.
13:50If you were doing your job, those two boys would be in jail.
13:55I loved Kate. She was it for me.
13:58Charlie, you told the original investigators that you were with Kate the night of a rape, but that you left early?
14:02Stupid fight over nothing. About getting a place off campus. Kate was worried I'd get sick of her if we lived together.
14:10If I'd stayed that night, the rape would have never happened.
14:15You broke up after that?
14:17It was toxic. She was angry and I didn't know what to do. I mean, we couldn't even look at each other.
14:22Where were you two nights ago?
14:24I was in my room studying. Why?
14:28You guys realize what you're doing? Accusing Kate and me? You guys are ruining our lives all over again.
14:35We covered every shooting range in a hundred miles. Nobody recognizes Kate or Charlie from their photos.
14:44If they got gun savvy, we have no idea how. And Charlie was in his dorm.
14:49He swiped his entry card at 935. Half a dozen people saw him over the next couple of hours.
14:55He saw the rape file. Charlie feels guilty about leaving Kate at that frat house.
14:59If he wanted to kill Colin Morris, he could have done it. He could have found a way to leave his dorm without being seen.
15:04I don't think so. Is Charlie emotionally capable of shooting Colin and bending down, firing into his chest? No.
15:11I'm with you. I don't think the kid has it in him.
15:13Where does that leave us?
15:15Without a suspect.
15:17Linz, you got company.
15:28Hi.
15:30I didn't want to wait till Lamar to see you. I hope you don't mind.
15:32I'm terribly annoyed you didn't speak with my social secretary.
15:37You want to, uh, split a muffin?
15:40Yeah.
15:41We only have another week. I want as much Lindsay time as I can get.
15:52Well, don't go to Phnom Penh and then you can have as much as you might.
15:57I have ten square miles waiting for the most incredible hotel complex in the world.
16:01San Francisco could use more hotels.
16:04That has occurred to me.
16:06Are you going to keep bothering my family?
16:10I'm sorry that you think we're bothering you. This is a homicide investigation, Kate.
16:14I'm not trying to hurt your family. Or you.
16:16You pretend like it bothers you to question me and my parents when you're just looking to solve your case.
16:21Don't you have any shame?
16:23Let's go, Kate.
16:25Let's go, Kate.
16:29If there's any consolation, that wasn't about you.
16:32I'm not so sure.
16:34You spend your whole life trying to do the right thing.
16:37And sometimes you have to wonder, is doing the right thing the right thing to do?
16:44What?
16:46Lindsay, I get up every day and have to believe I do what I do better than anyone in the world.
16:53It's completely crazy.
16:55And I can't help it.
16:57But you, you, you demand perfection of yourself like no one I have ever seen.
17:01I don't want to be a perfect person.
17:03I know you don't want to be a perfect person.
17:06You want to be a perfect cop.
17:08And even if you were, Lindsay, you'd still feel bad right now.
17:13You wanted a suspect?
17:14Amateur video hour.
17:15You'll love this.
17:17Who's the amateur?
17:18There's two of them.
17:19Our victim, Colin Morris, and his pal, Jay Osborne, is the other kid that Kate Hammond is accusing.
17:25A couple of our inspectors down in evidence went through the DVDs that we found when we searched Colin's room.
17:31Don't tell me they taped themselves raping.
17:34Not that good, but almost.
17:36Then Jay said, I have another bottle in the basement.
17:39Now that's Colin Morris trying to get his story straight.
17:41No, no, no, no. I was already in the basement.
17:43Watching the post game.
17:44She invited you to come downstairs.
17:47That's Jay Osborne.
17:48Concentrate.
17:50They're practicing testimony for the civil society.
17:52They're practicing how to lie.
17:54Okay, listen, listen, listen.
17:56You've got to get this right.
17:59If we lose this case, we are finished.
18:01Me, you, our parents, they're going to clean us out.
18:03Now, Jay wanted Colin to perform better, so he made the disc so Colin could study his mistakes.
18:08Obviously, they lied about the rape, but that doesn't prove anything.
18:12It proves they raped her and were afraid of making mistakes in court.
18:16To you and me, it's not enough for a jury.
18:19They don't say tell a lie. They don't say, no, no, no, no, tell a lie better.
18:22They just rehearse.
18:23But you heard what Jay Osborne said. He was afraid his life would be ruined.
18:26He was afraid that Colin would blow it on the witness stand.
18:28That's a motive for murder.
18:29Jill, okay, this isn't evidence of murder, but it's evidence they raped her.
18:33Is it enough to pick up Jay and scare him?
18:38Jill.
18:40No.
18:41No, it's not enough.
18:42What the hell was that?
18:55I owe your neighbors an apology.
18:58Martha barked for half an hour when I got here.
19:03Why'd you run out on us?
19:07You know why I snapped at Cindy?
19:08It's not her I'm angry at, it's me.
19:15What are you talking about?
19:18Two months ago.
19:20The DA's weekly conference.
19:22We decide which cases go to the grand jury.
19:25Kit Hammond's case came up.
19:27Consensus was there was no point going to trial.
19:30I said...
19:32Nothing.
19:33The case was unwinnable based on what you knew at the time.
19:40I forgot she was this little girl.
19:43Who got drunk and didn't know what she was getting into.
19:48You were doing your job.
19:50She wanted to testify.
19:54How many women want to face their attackers?
19:56I should have stood up for Kate Hammond's right to a day in court.
20:00We owed her that.
20:06I made a mistake.
20:11I didn't do everything I can to fix it.
20:13Counselor, what are you doing here at six in the morning?
20:16I need a warrant signed, Judge, and you're always in early.
20:18Jay Osborn.
20:20The Hammond writ.
20:21Search warrant.
20:22Huh.
20:24Do you really have probable cause for murder?
20:26This one time.
20:27You could do me a favor.
20:28I admit it's a stretch.
20:29We might get slammed on appeal.
20:30Let him try.
20:32I hate rapists.
20:35Do those latex gloves dry out your skin?
20:37You can always tell how old a person is by the way that their hands look.
20:40Jay, question.
20:42Colin never came home for me.
20:44I'm sorry.
20:45I'm sorry.
20:46I'm sorry.
20:47I'm sorry.
20:49I'm sorry.
20:50I'm sorry.
20:51I'm sorry.
20:52I'm sorry.
20:53I'm sorry.
20:54I'm sorry.
20:55I'm sorry.
20:56I'm sorry.
20:58I'm sorry.
20:59I'm sorry.
21:00I'm running the other night and his room's right next door.
21:02Didn't you notice that?
21:03I was asleep.
21:05You guys must be really desperate for suspects if you think that I shot him.
21:08Mm-hmm.
21:09Hey.
21:10Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
21:11These are my meds.
21:13For asthma.
21:15Breathe deep.
21:16Hey, you gotta leave me my meds.
21:18There's a truck store around the corner.
21:22Jay's ticket stubs.
21:24First class airfare.
21:27Ski lift tickets.
21:28Aspen and veil.
21:29Alibi for time of death.
21:31When he was asleep, that's why he didn't realize Colin was missing.
21:36Interesting.
21:37His meds are the only thing he got excited about.
21:40What kind of asthma meds need an eyedropper?
21:45Odorless and clear.
21:48What you found was definitely gamma hydroxy butyrate GHB, date rape drug of choice.
21:57Gas chromatography on the left.
21:59The liquid you found in Jay Osborne's room on the right.
22:01Pharmaceutical quality GHB.
22:03You look close but not exact.
22:07Why would there be a difference?
22:10Jay's was homemade.
22:12Could have whipped it up in a chem lab.
22:14The dead kid, Colin Morse, was a chemical engineering major.
22:17They doped her.
22:19They drugged her so she wouldn't resist.
22:20No wonder there wasn't any bruising.
22:22Not for publication.
22:23Linz, there was no GHB in the blood sample from Kate Hammond's rape kit.
22:29Those boys made it. They used it.
22:32I'll test it again.
22:36Where'd it go?
22:38Now, look at these.
22:40This slug came from Colin Morse.
22:42And this identical slug was found in the wall after a liquor store shoot-up three weeks ago.
22:48I see two different crimes, same gun.
22:51Who was a shooter in the liquor store hold-up?
22:52The robbery division suspects a guy named Leon Perker.
22:56He's got a sheet full of armed robbery and felony drug sales.
23:00Now, the liquor store matched his M.O., but the clerk couldn't ID him.
23:04And when they picked up Leon, he didn't have the gun on him.
23:07An armed robber and a drug dealer.
23:09Does he shoot a kid on a running track at midnight?
23:12I doubt Leon shot Colin Morse.
23:14So our friend Leon was to sold his gun to someone?
23:16Who used it to kill Colin?
23:18Let's arrest Mr. Perker and then we roll him and find out who he sold the gun to.
23:22Arrest him for what?
23:33Leon Perker.
23:35Boxer Jacoby, SFPD.
23:36We're looking for a gun, a .38.
23:38Did you sell one recently?
23:39I don't mess with weaponry.
23:41Why don't you lose Grandpa?
23:43Take a seat and three of us can have some fun.
23:47Is that so?
23:48You pretty hot for a cop.
23:50Just like my girl here.
23:51He's right, Rita.
23:52You do look good.
23:54Thanks, Lindsey.
23:56Yeah, I know your date.
23:57Officer Howe and I work together.
23:59She didn't tell you that when she was buying your smack, did she?
24:02So, Leon, we're gonna take you in for a drug felony or are you gonna tell us who you sold a gun to?
24:07Oh, man.
24:09Now, put your hand on that.
24:11I have my hand on mine.
24:12He has his hand on his.
24:13Come on.
24:15All right, turn around.
24:16Put your hands on the bar.
24:18Oh, man.
24:19Leon Perker, you are under arrest for terminal stupidity.
24:22Let's get restless, baby.
24:25Come on.
24:26I'm having trouble seeing this.
24:28A guy selling drugs and you're getting ready to pull a gun.
24:32I'm sorry.
24:33You probably don't want to hear about this.
24:34No, no.
24:35It's incredible, really.
24:38I'm really glad you're here.
24:39I would much rather be thinking about you than...
24:45And this place is a mess.
24:46I'm so sorry.
24:47I should...
24:49But you would stop.
24:51Apologizing.
24:53I just...
24:54What?
24:57I just wanted this to be special.
25:00It is.
25:06Okay.
25:21You ain't got coffee?
25:22Actually, I flew to Columbia and back for fresh beans.
25:28These early morning flights to South America are brutal.
25:34Also, breakfast treats for the girls who love scones.
25:35Scones.
25:36Scones.
25:37And a snack for Martha.
25:41Yeah, there you go.
25:42Yeah, there you go.
25:43She says thanks.
25:44And me too.
25:46You sleep okay?
25:47You tossed a lot.
25:48Yeah, I do that.
25:49Uh, you?
25:50Mine nodded in and out.
25:51You okay with last night?
25:52No.
25:53No.
25:54No.
25:55No.
25:56No.
25:57No.
25:58No.
25:59No.
26:00No.
26:01No.
26:02No.
26:03No.
26:04No.
26:05No.
26:06No.
26:07No.
26:08No.
26:09No.
26:10No.
26:11No.
26:12No.
26:13No.
26:14No.
26:15No.
26:16No.
26:17What?
26:18No.
26:19You okay with last night?
26:20Mm-hmm.
26:21Uh, yeah.
26:22I, yeah.
26:23It was.
26:24It was great.
26:25Why?
26:26Well, when I uh, got here.
26:28We were having dinner.
26:30You, we seemed a little nervous.
26:32Um, I haven't felt things like this in, in a long, time.
26:39Me too, totally.
26:40Really?
26:41Yeah, I can get nervous.
26:45I don't, like, meet anybody.
26:48I don't like this.
26:50And then maybe there's always, you know,
26:51the first time being here in your apartment.
26:53Yeah, it's been a while.
26:56Yeah, and Martha watching.
26:57And I just come from bringing in a suspect.
27:01I'm sure it's one of the above.
27:05Or all of the above.
27:07It was so great.
27:15I hope it wasn't too soon.
27:18It really was great.
27:22And it couldn't be too soon.
27:25How much longer could we wait?
27:26You're leaving in a week.
27:32Hey, Leon took the deal.
27:34We dropped the drugs.
27:35He goes down for the gun.
27:37And we get a lineup?
27:38Five young men in skull caps.
27:40And Leon's description of the young man who bought the gun
27:42sounds a lot like Jay Osborne.
27:45You take your time, get it right.
27:46You're not here.
27:51Some sort of trick or something.
28:07No, this is no trick, and don't try one on us.
28:11I got a keen memory.
28:13The kid that approached me, none of these are him.
28:16No tattoo.
28:18What tattoo?
28:19Spiky fence on the wrist.
28:20Spiky fence on the wrist.
28:21I'll take Leon back to holding.
28:31Kate's ex-boyfriend Charlie has a tattoo on his wrist.
28:33Pick him up.
28:34Heads up.
28:3650 reporters outside.
28:38Jay Osborne and his lawyer are holding a press conference in half an hour.
28:41It's all over cable news.
28:42We just did a lineup.
28:44How'd they get the reporters here so fast?
28:45It's a setup.
28:47Jay's lawyer invited them before the lineup.
28:49He knew his client was going to walk.
28:50They're making him a victim.
28:51They'll say he was accused of rape and murder.
28:54Accused twice.
28:55Innocent twice.
28:56That kind of publicity.
28:58Kate Hammond doesn't win her civil suit.
29:03Today's press conference brought to you by Barnum and Bailey.
29:05Anybody bring popcorn?
29:07Ladies and gentlemen, in what anyone would call a travesty of justice.
29:10Go knock him down a peg or two.
29:12Oh, I will bring the heated questions.
29:16Then we'll take questions.
29:18I'm sorry for that poor girl, Kate Hammond, and my friend Colin, who I miss every day.
29:24He's going to miss the next 20 years of his life when we nail him from rape.
29:27Add five years for drugging her.
29:29Amen.
29:30We sent two guys over to pick up the ex-boyfriend.
29:33My stomach would turn if I have to listen to this kid for one more minute.
29:37Wait, wait.
29:38When did they leave to arrest Charlie?
29:42You raped her, you son of a bitch!
29:51Stay down!
29:52Stay down!
29:53Jay didn't get hit.
29:54Lindsay!
30:01Cindy!
30:03Cindy, code 33, this is 5 Henry 12, 1025.
30:07Request medical.
30:08Cindy.
30:10Cindy.
30:10Penny, can you hear me?
30:15Lodge in the intestine.
30:16Missed the abdominal aorta by what, like 10 millimeters?
30:19Bless.
30:19Talk about lucky.
30:21Aside from blood loss, she's fine.
30:25Call if you need me.
30:32I lost my temper with her.
30:35And for reasons we all can understand.
30:38Anyway, she wouldn't even be in that bed if we had the right to suspect in the first place.
30:41I hate to inform both of you that however much you want to be in control of everything, you're not.
30:49Boxer.
30:50Okay, I'll be right there.
30:54Charlie has a lawyer.
30:57He wants to talk.
30:59Counselor, you don't seem to understand.
31:01We're not here to discuss the shooting of Cindy Thomas.
31:03We got 50 eyewitnesses who saw him do it.
31:06Our ballistics says the gun used today is the same gun that was used to kill Colin Morris.
31:10My client's going to tell you everything.
31:13Then the DA, who I assume is behind that mirror.
31:16You're about to see this kid hang himself.
31:18All morning, I couldn't stand it.
31:22Jay was posting in a chat room.
31:23He didn't sign it, but I knew it was him talking about how Kate was a liar and a slut and how she begged them for sex.
31:37When I saw on TV about the press conference, he lost control.
31:40Save it for the jury, counselor.
31:43So you lost control, Charlie.
31:46They treated Kate like meat.
31:50Like she wasn't even human.
31:51Telling the cops it was consensual.
31:54You know, like she asked to be raped.
31:57No one defended Kate.
31:59Not the police.
32:00Not the school.
32:01Nobody.
32:02So you defended her.
32:05That's right.
32:08I shot him.
32:10He fell down and I shot him again.
32:14I put the gun to his chest.
32:17I looked in his eyes and I pulled the trigger.
32:21You didn't have to kill him.
32:22Kate was suing.
32:24Why'd you get in the way of that?
32:27Because it's all my fault.
32:33I should have been there that night with Kate and none of this would have happened.
32:38So it had to be me.
32:40It had to be me.
32:45Don't ask me why we're here.
32:46I'll tell you when I know.
32:48The kid confessed.
32:49They book him.
32:50We get a formal confession on tape.
32:52We move on.
32:53What's wrong with his confession?
32:55I don't know.
32:57I do know.
32:58We have two shootings.
32:59One is careful, planned.
33:01The second one is so spur of the moment he didn't even know where to point the gun.
33:04I just don't believe the same person is responsible for both shootings.
33:07And he's covering for Kate Hammond?
33:08We walk this, Lindsay.
33:10There's no way she gets from the party to here and stays dry.
33:13If she walks, she's in heavy rain for 15 minutes.
33:17You saw those pictures.
33:18She's as dry as a good martini.
33:21She found a way to get here and back and stay dry.
33:24How?
33:25Was she airlifted?
33:26This might be a good time to remind you we have a confession.
33:30What is that?
33:34What?
33:35Look.
33:38At what?
33:39An underground steam pipe?
33:41There are tons of them.
33:42They're about a foot high, and they don't run half a mile between buildings.
33:46If you're thinking Kate Hammond crawled through a pipe duct, forget it.
33:51What if it's more than a steam pipe?
33:53Why do you want it to be her?
33:55I don't want it to be her.
33:57I just know it is.
33:58And how do you intend to prove it?
34:01I can't.
34:04Yet.
34:09My name is Charles Gifford, and I am making this statement on my own free will.
34:16I admit that I killed Colin Morris, and I admit that I attempted to kill J. Osborne.
34:25What's going on?
34:27We're recording Julie's confession.
34:29I thought you'd want to watch.
34:31This is about the shooting yesterday?
34:32And Colin's murder.
34:34He's confessing to Brock.
34:35Three or four weeks after what they did to Kate, I was so angry.
34:40They raped her.
34:41Why was he doing that?
34:44Because he loves you.
34:45My guess, he decided to take out Jay, and take the rap in one big romantic gesture.
34:55Which would be impressive if he knew how to shoot a gun.
34:58This isn't right.
35:08I know you did it, Kate.
35:10Then you wouldn't let Charlie go to jail, would you?
35:12I know it was you.
35:13I just can't prove it.
35:15I told you I was at the party that night.
35:17Yeah, and that was a challenge.
35:20How'd you shoot Colin and manage to stay dry?
35:22I should have known better, but the 1950s bomb shelter tunnels, that's way before my time.
35:33Even the people that we asked, they didn't even know they were there.
35:36But I found a story about them in the college archives, and as it turns out, one of those tunnels goes from the dorm basement straight to the field house.
35:43Why don't you arrest me?
35:45Because all I have is a theory.
35:48Charlie's confessed.
35:50They finish him there, he goes to prison.
35:52It's all over.
35:57I know something else about you, Kate.
36:00About the night you were raped.
36:03You were drugged.
36:04Colin and Jay gave you GHB.
36:09But they tested me for that.
36:10The GHB that they gave you didn't show up in the test, but we know that they gave it to you.
36:16So, honey, what happened that night was not because you were drug or irresponsible.
36:22You were just unconscious.
36:30Bastards!
36:35Yeah, that's right.
36:36And I think anyone would understand you wanting him dead.
36:42But, honey, after all the lies that have been told, after all the lies that people have believed,
36:49don't you think that it's time that someone started telling the truth?
36:52No one believed me.
37:05They thought I wanted this to happen.
37:10How'd you do it that night?
37:11I just met out of the dorm party and went to the field and shot Colin.
37:19Charlie bought me the gun and then he took it from me afterwards.
37:23I thought it'd be enough to sue them.
37:25I'm really in date.
37:28Then they sent me something.
37:30What did they send you?
37:35A valentine.
37:38It said, you'll be in our hearts forever.
37:45I knew I had to do something.
37:52So you shot Colin.
37:53I sometimes forget how good you are in that room.
38:12Good, huh?
38:14Right, I take her in there.
38:15I show her Charlie.
38:17I make her my friend.
38:18Yeah, I'm a good cop, but I sometimes wonder if I'm a good person.
38:26Maybe this will help.
38:28What's this?
38:29An arrest warrant.
38:36You're booking him on rape?
38:38It's absurd.
38:39You've got no case.
38:40Shut up, Che.
38:41No, I'm quoting the district attorney.
38:43We had no case until we found GHB in his desk.
38:46The rape kit, there was no GHB in her blood.
38:49No pharmaceutical grave, but the boys made homebrew.
38:52The greats differently takes a better test.
38:54Which she ran.
38:54And since their homemade stuff has a unique chemical signature,
38:57the GHB can be traced to its source.
39:00We can prove you doped Kate up, which corroborates our story.
39:04We're going to find you a nice little holding cell.
39:06Wait, come on.
39:07Jay, your best friend is dead, and you're going to jail.
39:12Do you know why?
39:12Because you and Colin decided that if you wanted something, you could just take it.
39:18You think about that.
39:20I'm going to take Mr. Osborne down to booking, get his picture taken.
39:24Look at all the fun jobs.
39:25I lost a whole day.
39:33I don't remember any of it.
39:35You're on painkillers.
39:36You won't remember any of this either.
39:39I'm trying to remember this.
39:41I owe you an apology.
39:44I was angry at myself, and I took it out on you.
39:47Thanks.
39:50I'm glad we got that settled.
39:52I have to go meet Pete.
39:53I'm gone a whole day, and you're still dating.
39:56Oh, yeah.
39:57Today, not promising tomorrow.
40:00Night.
40:03I've got to get home and look at homework.
40:11Are we still friends?
40:12I mean, after the way I insulted you.
40:15I'm sorry.
40:18Forgiven.
40:18If we are friends, do you think you could stay until my parents get here?
40:25Sure.
40:35I thought we were meeting at the restaurant.
40:37Yeah, I didn't want to wait.
40:38I've been thinking too much.
40:41What are you thinking about?
40:42About the fact that I'm leaving in a week, and it changes everything?
40:49Yeah, I know.
40:52So what do you think?
40:54Should we end it now?
41:00Might be the smart thing.
41:02It saves a lot of pain in the end for both of us.
41:04And again, nobody's ever called me smart.
41:14Come listening to it, me neither.
41:15Me neither.
41:15Do you want to come upstairs?
41:32I have some cold pizza in the fridge.
41:37Yeah, um, can Martha sleep in another room?
41:42Yeah, I'll talk to her.
41:43All right.
41:44Yeah.
41:44Yeah.
41:44Always be free.
