- Finch, you got anything else?

- That's about it.

- These are from Sex Crimes.

- Thanks. - We should

get moving. Fiona's already in court.

Is Emma ready? - Uh, I think so.

- Good luck with that. - What's that supposed to mean?

- Your witness. I'm just saying, good luck.

- Thanks for the vote of confidence.

- What? She told the clinic to destroy

her rape kit, didn't she? - No, she told them

she wasn't filing a report so they got rid of it.

- But then she changed her mind. - It's normal for victims

of sexual assault to change their mind, Aaron.

- Yeah, I know that. But let's hope the jury does too.

- What're you gettin' at, Finch? - I'm just wondering

if she's gonna do more harm than good as a witness.

- Zach Graydon drugged, raped and strangled

that poor girl. You think we should ignore her testimony

because of a missing kit? - No! That's not what I meant.

- So what did you mean? - What'd you mean?

- Never mind. Why don't I load these up for you?

- Yeah. Do that.

I'll go grab Emma. - OK.

- Hey, Emma. How's the coffee today?

- It's OK. - Um... It's time to go.

Do you have anyone coming with you to court today? I mean,

your parents are coming, right? - No. I haven't told them.

- Well, just stick to what you said

in the preliminary inquiry and you'll do great.

Promise.

- [woman]: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

the case you'll be hearing today is simple.

On the evening of March the 15th

last year, the accused,

Zachary Graydon, drugged

sexually assaulted and murdered

by strangulation Beth Tremblay.

A college student in the prime

of her life,

whose body he then

re-dressed and abandoned

into the recycling bins of her dormitory residence.

Now, some of you may already be familiar with Mr. Graydon.

Some of you may even...

admire him. I mean, after all, he's

a rising hockey star, a good student,

a son, and a... friend to many.

But I ask that you look beyond appearances

and pay attention to the facts.

Because soon, we will be

presenting you with similar fact evidence

from our witness,

Ms. Emma Wright,

who was also drugged... sexually assaulted

and left unconscious in a parking lot.

Luckily, she survived.

- Where's your witness? - She's inside. Why?

Everything OK? - The defence attorney's

changed. Prelim attorney's now junior counsel for the trial.

- What? How? - I guess they decided to bring

in the muscle. It happens. - Great.

- I don't care if that kid in there is the next Gretzky,

we are not gonna make this easy for him. OK?

- Who is the new attorney then, for the defence?

- Oh, he's the guy with all the hair product.

What's his name? Marc Savage. Yeah, I think

that sounds right. Keep me posted.

♪♪♪

- Can you believe this? You think he'd at least

have the decency to tell me. - Because he's always been

such a decent guy...

Look, I think we should tell the prosecution.

- Why? We're not doing anything illegal.

- Still, it is not ideal. - I'm gonna be on the stand

in five minutes.

- Does he even know about the baby?

When are you gonna tell him? - I don't know. OK? Soon.

Whatever. It's fine. I'm gonna go in there. I'm gonna testify,

and I am going to destroy him.

Don't worry about it! I got this.

- [woman]: Detective Cooper, can you

state what was present

in Beth Tremblay's toxicology report the morning of her death?

- High blood alcohol and Rohypnol.

- And why was the accused

a significant person of interest

in relation to this report? - He was the last one

to be seen with her and his credit card statement

showed that he purchased her drink.

- And Detective, you had the opportunity

to interview the accused, correct?

- Yes. Twice. - Could you speak

to the two separate interviews

where the accused described the last time he saw

Beth Tremblay? - In his first interview,

he stated that he dropped

her off at her building around midnight, leaving her

standing out front, searching for her keys.

In his second statement, he said that he actually saw her

enter the building, after which he left.

- Has there been any more information obtained

with respect to the victim entering her apartment building

that night? - Yes.

The building is a university residence

that uses an electronic locking system.

Every entry is electronically recorded

to the tenants' specific cards.

Beth Tremblay's card was found in her purse

when her body was discovered.

The card showed that the last time

she entered her residence was not midnight,

as stated by the accused, but rather 7:30PM.

- Thank you, Detective. No further questions, Your Honour.

- Officer.

How long have you been in the Homicide Division?

- A year, but I've been on the police force

for almost a decade. - And is it true

that your employment with the Homicide Division

is currently probationary, pending

a successful performance review? - Yes.

- So to be clear,

you've only been a homicide detective for one year,

and you are still on probation. - Correct.

- Officer, is it common

- in your experience -

for rapists and murderers to use their own credit card

to buy their victim drinks,

and then openly admit to having sex with them?

- Well, the murder may not have been premeditated,

but the sexual assault was. Any death resulting from sexual

assault is first degree murder. - I'm sorry Officer,

you didn't answer my question. Is it common?

- No.

- No. Do you have any evidence,

in the toxicology report or otherwise,

that proves as a scientific finding, who spiked

Ms. Tremblay's beverage? - Mr. Graydon

was the last one with her, and he bought her drink.

- As a scientific finding, Officer.

- No.

- Do you have any CCTV or eyewitnesses

to prove who dropped Ms. Tremblay's body

by the recycling bins at the back of her dormitory?

- No witnesses have come forward at present.

- So, no?

Please state your answer. - No.

- Officer, did you say, "I hope the NHL

accepts 40-year-olds"

to Mr. Graydon the night he was taken into custody?

- What?

No, I--

- Because Mr. Graydon insists that you did before--

- I didn't say that. - ...before he was even

interviewed, which would indicate

that you'd already made your mind up that he was guilty.

And you've not looked into any other suspect since.

This really typifies your attitude

to the entire investigation, doesn't it? Which, from

the beginning, was biased and filled with oversights

but all that could be attributed to your lack of experience,

could it not? Officer?

- Uh oh. What happened?

- Um... I messed up.

- Everyone gets nervous.

And to be fair, you're the first cop I know

to be cross-examined by her baby daddy.

- Ha. Yeah, well. Good luck in there.

- I'm gonna nail him. I'll come and find you when I'm done, OK?

- Mhm. [sighing]

- Detective Hall, you were one of the first officers

at the scene of the crime the morning Beth Tremblay's body

was found, correct? - Yes.

- Exhibit 13, Your Honour. These are the photos taken

of the deceased as she was found.

Detective, can you speak

to the state of the clothes the victim was wearing at the time?

- What struck me upon examining the victim

was that she appeared to have been redressed.

Her bra was fastened on a clasp that she didn't use.

We could tell that because it was very ill-fitting,

and also by a minor change in colouration

on the third clasp.

Clearly, it had never been exposed to her skin.

Also, her tights were on backwards.

The indention of the heel was at the front of the foot,

leading us to believe that someone else had put them on her

after she'd been killed. - Thank you, Detective.

- Officer, is it possible that an inebriated woman

could have put on her tights backwards

while trying to get dressed? - Beth Tremblay

was heavily drugged. She probably wouldn't have been able

to put on her tights at all. - Thank you.

Do you have any evidence that supports your claim

that Mr. Graydon is responsible for this?

We know that he'd bought Beth Tremblay a drink,

they had sex at his residence and then he brought her home

at midnight. But she could

have easily gone out again.

After all, it was a Friday night. Correct?

- Highly unlikely. - You seem very confident.

Do you believe this was a thorough investigation?

- Absolutely. - And that you were in

a sound state of mind while conducting it? - Of course.

- Then perhaps you could help me with a small

housekeeping matter. I seem to be missing notes from you

from April 19th to April 23rd. - Your Honour, the defence

was presented a full set of notes.

- Detective Hall, are we missing notes?

- Your Honour, I was away from the case during this time.

- Would you clarify that, Ms. Hall?

- I was on a leave of absence. - I believe it was stress leave.

Correct? To deal with the events surrounding your son's

recent Autism diagnosis.

- Your Honour, objection. Irrelevant.

- I'll allow it. - Officer?

Officer, can you help the court understand how you were

of sound mind, conducting a thorough investigation

when you were, in fact, on stress leave?

- It was a formality.

I'd used up all of my official leave, but I was still

entitled to stress leave.

But I can assure you,

I was completely of sound mind

when I was conducting that case. - And therefore, you thought it

was entirely acceptable to leave this extremely complicated case

in the hands of an officer on probation?

No further questions, Your Honour.

- [Stevie]: Marc just called me out

for taking leave during the case.

- Your notes were missing, so... - No, no. No, Jac.

That does not explain how he knew about my stress leave.

Only you and Fiona knew about that.

- It was a mistake. OK? It was back when Marc and I

were dating. You had taken those days off work.

So I worked 48 hours straight and he asked why.

But listen, he just did the same thing to me.

I had already told him what I said to Graydon and then he

called me out for being biased. - What?! You told him details

about the actual case?

And what did you say to that,

on the stand?

- I denied it.

- Ah, right.

So, we could've had Marc removed from the case

for using that information but there goes that idea,

now that you just perjured yourself.

- Stevie, I had no idea he was going to end up

on the defence counsel! I mean, what're the odds of that?!

- Not that bad, apparently! - I wasn't thinking.

- NO! You weren't.

You never do!

And yet I still keep on fighting for you.

Every time Fiona says that she wants to cut you loose,

I say "No, no, no. She's gonna

be a great detective. These are just growing pains."

Except this time, I have to go and tell her

that a serial rapist

and murderer might just walk today

because you weren't thinking!

- I don't see how this can still be put in

this late in the day. - What's going on?

- Emma's testimony's been put over 'til tomorrow.

Our private investigator found this this morning.

Looks like the defence

already has it and it's admissible.

That's Emma partying with the accused.

- Where did this come from?

- It was in the archives of the Tau Alpha Theta Facebook page.

Do you realize how serious this is?

You said in your hearing

that you didn't know him prior to the evening of your assault.

- I didn't. - So when did this happen?

- I don't know!

It was probably during Frosh.

Zach would've been like just another frat guy.

- Emma, he's right behind you here.

Are you absolutely sure?

Because it looks to me like you were on drugs.

- I took a bit of Molly that night but I've never done...

I'd never done it before. I haven't since.

- Did you have any physical interaction

with Graydon that night at all? - No!

I didn't. I remember that party. I remember all of it.

It's not like I blacked out like...

like the next time.

- OK. I'm sorry.

Go home. I'll be in touch later.

- So... what does this mean for the trial?

- I won't lie. It's not good.

This photo makes Emma's testimony questionable.

- Anything we can do? - I know of a similar case

where a frat would put up pictures in their basement

of girls who would be potential targets for assault.

I might be able to make the argument that this photo

means that she was a target, but the problem

is there are no photos of Beth Tremblay

up on the site, so it doesn't add up.

- Well, we could do a sweep of the frat website,

access deleted files, see if we can find Beth there.

- I'll see what the defence does with the photo tomorrow, and...

if necessary, I'll make the argument

for premeditation later. It's the best I can do for now.

[tense music]

- I...

I said I'd be home for seven, so...

- Yeah, sure. I'll catch up with you tomorrow.

- OK.

♪♪♪

- [Jono]: Sounds like a gong show.

- You have no idea. Honestly, I don't know why I even bother.

I should just let Fiona have her way

and be done with it. - Well, maybe you should.

- No, I know that I should! But then I'd be stuck

with some... meat-head gym rat

who chugs protein shakes for lunch.

[chuckling]

I just can't believe that she

told him all that stuff.

- Well... not to play devil's advocate, but--

- Whoa, whoa. I am still whining.

- I mean, this was before she knew what a dick he was, right?

- Yeah. - Well, I mean, I get it.

Bad move, but... Come on.

I mean, wanting to share stuff with your partner?

I feel like I'd make the same mistake.

Besides, you told me some things.

Yeah. - Oh, no, that is not the same.

- Babe, I probably know the access code to the evidence room at this point.

- All right, all right, all right.

Fine.

I feel bad now. Am I the worst?

- Yeah. Definitely. 100 percent.

[phone buzzing]

- It's the prosecution.

Detective Hall.

What? Why?

No. No, it's... it's fine. I'll let her know.

I'll come and grab them from you now.

Thanks. Bye.

- Let me guess. You gotta run.

- Just when I thought that my day could not get any worse,

our main witness is bailing.

I gotta go to the lawyer's

and then to Jac's and then I've gotta head to the Division.

I'm sorry. - It's fine.

- You sure?

Mm. Garlic.

- Yeah. You should try it sometime,

keep the bloodsuckers away.

[knocking]

[sighing heavily]

- What are you doing here?

- I was nearby. I figured I should drop in, say hi,

and make sure we're still good after today.

Can I come in, please? - No!

- Just for five minutes. I just want to talk to you. - No.

- Two minutes. - No. - One minute, Jac. One minute?

I know how I am in court.

I just wanted to say to you it is truly not personal.

- Are you kidding me?

- It's a job! We both know that. We gotta play the game.

- No. No. You took things I said to you in confidence

and ran me through the mud with them. You used me, Marc.

- You're right. I shouldn't have used those things.

That was wrong. But I never used you.

Never!

I did give you my condo. - And?

- And maybe we all kind of pick and choose our ethics a bit.

And maybe we should just get over it already.

- All I have been doing is getting over it,

but you just keep showing up!

- Isn't there a little part of you that wants me to show up?

[scoffing] Jac... Jac...

I really wanted to see you. I've missed you.

You're so crazy beautiful.

- Don't.

- Nobody can pull off sweats the way you do.

You're still totally rockin' it. - Shut up.

- Come here. Come here.

You made it almost impossible

for me to focus.

It was so hard for me to focus up there today.

- It looked pretty easy to me. - It's never easy with you, Jac.

- I'm pregnant.

- What?

Since when?

- I don't know.

Since a couple nights before the last supper, I guess.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- You made it pretty damn clear

you wanted nothing to do with me.

I was trying to get over it.

- Jac...

you should've told me.

So...

are you...

you gonna...

- Keep it?

Yeah.

- Ahem.

OK.

Jac...

there's no way I can have another kid.

I can't do it.

I mean... are you sure it's even mine?

- I was monogamous the whole time that we were together!

And just so you know, I am not asking you for anything.

I want nothing from you. - OK. OK. Look--

- Nothing! - Just calm down, please.

I am begging you not to do this. OK?

Do you even really want a kid?

I mean...

You? A mother?

- You need to get out. Now.

Get out. - Jac, look-- - Get out.

Go, go, go! - Can we just talk about this?

- JUST GET OUT! - We have to talk about it! - Go home to your family!

- Jac...

Back at work are we, Officer?

- I told you I...

Stevie. What's going on?

- Emma wants out. [sighing]

She says that she will recant

if we force her to testify.

I came by to ask you to talk to her. She trusts you and...

you've been on the case the longest. But you know what,

this shipwreck can't be saved.

- Stevie, I... I didn't...

I didn't tell him to come. He just showed up.

I...

I told him about the baby.

I know I screwed up big.

I screwed up big. And I...

I was reckless.

I'm sorry I let you down. Can we just figure this out

inside for a second? - Yeah. Yeah, come on.

- Walk me through this. What happens if Emma

recants her evidence? - We take a massive hit.

The prosecution will drop her and the next witness

will be called up. - Which is a character witness

for the defence, right? - That's right, Miranda Towers.

She's engaged to Graydon's best friend, the goalie.

I think his name is... Taylor? - Mhm.

- So Kyle interviewed her when he was at Sex Crimes.

She was at the same party as Emma. You saw that, right?

It's on the file. - Mm. Hour 47 of the case

with no sleep. Besides, doesn't the defence have

like 15 character witnesses? - Yeah, yeah.

Something like that. - All right.

Let's find her on social media

and see what we are up against.

Here we go, Miranda Towers.

It looks like she's auditioning

for The Real Hockey Wives of Whatever.

- Yeah? - She's a fitness star, over 40 000 followers.

When was the party?

October 12th? - Yeah.

- Well, she was competing in the Wildcat Challenge the morning

of October 13th. I highly doubt she was raging

until 3AM the night before. How did I Ms. this?

- Well, I was on stress leave

and you were circling complete burnout.

- I will take a closer look

at the Miranda interview but you know what? We have got to deal

with Emma now. She is on her way

to the Division to recant, so...

This is Emma's original prelim testimony.

She has got to stick to this. Otherwise, we are done.

Understand, Detective Cooper?

Do you have this?

- I got this.

- Hey. Sorry. I know it's late, but we don't have decaf here.

- Oh, that's OK. - You sure

you don't want me to make you some tea or something?

- No. I don't really sleep anyway.

- Hey. You good? - Yeah. Thanks, Finch.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Long day, huh?

So...

I hear you want to recant.

- Yeah.

- You know if you do this, there's no going back.

You get dropped as a witness

and that is great news for Zach.

- They're gonna rip me apart. - Well, cross-examinations

can be tough, but we'll make sure you're prepared.

- What if... he's right?

I was so happy that night

that he was even talking to me.

What if I... said that I'd sleep with him

or... I don't know, maybe I did imagine the whole thing.

- No. You listen to me, OK?

You cannot consent

if you are drugged.

Besides, do you really think

that you imagined the bruises around your neck?

- Look, I...

I get what you're saying, I do, but...

Most days, I can't

even think straight.

I can't sleep. I can't eat. I can't...

I can't study. I can't focus.

I just... I... I can't do this. I'm sorry. I can't.

- You can do this, Emma.

- Yeah, says the cop who blew it on the stand today.

I heard that you

were a total disaster.

What are we doing here? This is a joke!

So let's just forget it already.

- No. Look, you came to me

because a girl you knew had her life stolen,

and you couldn't stomach that.

I know it feels like

you have nothing, Emma,

but you still

have your voice.

Beth doesn't.

That's why you came forward in the first place, isn't it?

- Yeah.

What's this?

- A transcript from your preliminary hearing.

You're gonna memorize it. You're gonna stick to it. And tomorrow,

you are gonna go in there with your chin up.

- OK. - OK.

Good.

Follow me.

- OK.

This interview is being taped and recorded and may be given

in evidence if this case is brought to trial.

We're in an interview room at the 14th Division. My name is Detective Sergeant

Kyle Price. Please state your full name.

- Miranda Towers.

- Miranda.

You said you were at the Tau Alpha Theta party.

Did you see Emma Wright while you were there?

- Yeah, she was chatting with Zach.

- What time was this?

- I think it was around 9:30.

- And do you remember exactly what you drank?

- Uh, yeah. The punch that was going around.

Zach brought me a cup.

- I had a cup or two. It wasn't so bad.

- Not bad. What kind of punch was it?

- Um...

I'm not sure, actually.

- It was grape, I guess.

It was purple and super sweet.

Actually... kind of gross.

- And what happened right after you drank it?

- It's hazy. I was on the dancefloor.

- I saw them on the dancefloor. - Oh, yeah.

What kind of music was it?

Miranda? - Music was music.

- They were playing a lot of hip-hop.

Um... that new Weeknd track was playing.

- How long did you two dance for?

- Not long.

Um... I started to get dizzy

and...

Zach led me upstairs.

And then I passed out.

- They were dancing all night.

It looked like they were having a good time.

- When you say all night, can you be more specific?

- I don't know.

Hours.

Zach's actually a really great dancer.

- I woke up in some bed.

Zach was on top of me.

I could see his face. I could smell the punch on his breath.

I...

I couldn't move because...

he, um...

he had his hands around my neck.

And after that, everything went black.

- What time do you think they left?

- Around 2AM.

Emma seemed fine.

She was laughing a lot.

After that, Taylor and I went home.

- We'll be in touch if we have any further questions.

- Hey. - Hey.

- She is going to testify. - Oh, thank God.

- How 'bout you? - Yeah, I've been taking a look

at hockey wife. She doesn't remember

what punch she was drinking. She doesn't remember

what music was playing. I don't buy it.

- Mm. Hm! She's wearing

a fitness tracker. Most gym rats don't take those off.

If we can get her hands on it, it might have logged

her activity that night. - If she was wearing it. That's a big if.

- Well, those things have a GPS too, so if she was

wearing it, we'll at least know where she was.

- OK. Well, I will get Kyle to get a subpoena,

get it off her first thing in the morning. If it proves

that she wasn't at the party, we could get her for fabrication

of evidence. Throw a hole in the defence.

- Great. Sounds like a plan.

And Stevie, one more thing. Can you say Kyle one more time

because every time you do, your face looks like...

Kyle! - Wha...

Kyle.

♪♪♪

[sirens blaring]

- I woke up on the grass

by the parking lot near the frat house

with my clothes on.

But, um, they were on all weird.

My belt was twisted and my jeans were unbuttoned.

My bra was on inside out

and... my underwear

was missing entirely.

I had no idea how I got there,

so I... I just got up and walked home.

The next day,

I saw all of the bruising on my neck

and on my thighs

and I went to the clinic

to have a rape kit done,

but they said that it would

take a while to get the DNA results back

and I missed a couple of calls back from them

and I guess I wasn't

thinking straight, because finally I just told them

that I wasn't gonna file a police report.

And then five months later,

I heard that Beth had died, and I heard

that Zach was the suspect.

And that's when I changed my mind

and I decided to come forward to the police,

but, um...

but it was too late,

because they had destroyed my kit at the clinic.

But I know that it was him.

[indistinct whispering]

- Thank you.

[buzzing] - Thank you, Ms. Wright.

The court will now take a short break, and then the floor

is yours, Counsel.

- OK. What's up? - [Stevie.]

[We got the subpoena.]

I got the fit tracker off Miranda this morning.

- And? - [It turns out she was wearing it the night of the party,]

but she wasn't dancing all night. She was sleeping in her dorm room.

[These things track sleep cycles too. Hers read]

"deep rest cycle." It had her heart rhythms and all.

[6AM the next day, she was at the Regional Park Race Course]

doing uphill sprints. Your girl's covering.

- Ms. Wright.

Why did you take so long to go to the police?

- I didn't think it was worth it.

- I'm sorry.

What do you mean by "worth it"?

- Worth the pain.

Worth reliving it all again

and having no one believe me.

- And the clinic destroyed your sexual assault kit

because you told them you didn't intend to go to the police. Correct?

- I changed my mind

when I heard that Beth had died, but by then,

the clinic had already destroyed the kit.

- I understand.

Defence Exhibit 4, Your Honour.

This is a photo

taken at a fraternity party.

Can you confirm that this is you in the photo,

Ms. Wright? - Yes.

- When was this party?

- That was during Frosh,

the first week of fall semester.

- So, one year prior to your alleged incident

with Mr. Graydon? - Yes.

- What is this in your mouth?

- It's a pacifier. - Is that something

that partygoers use to prevent themselves

from grinding their teeth while they're on drugs?

- Yes.

- Were you on drugs

the evening this photo was taken?

- Yes.

- What kind of drugs were you on, Ms. Wright?

- Molly. - So...

Methylenedioxymethamphetamine, also called Ecstacy.

Did you voluntarily take this drug?

- That was the first and only time that--

- Please state your answer, Ms. Wright. - Yes.

- There are several people dancing in this photo. Can you confirm that the individual

directly behind you is, in fact, Mr. Graydon?

- Yes.

- In your preliminary testimony, you stated that you'd

never met Mr. Graydon before,

yet here you are together one year earlier.

- I had no idea who he was at the time.

This was during the first week of school, so no one knew him.

- So it was a coincidence, or...

you did know him, and you had

taken recreational drugs with him. After all, you do seem

to enjoy yourself at these campus events.

- Objection, Your Honour. Inflammatory. - Sustained.

- I didn't know him.

- Ms. Wright, what exactly were you studying at university?

- English literature and creative writing.

- So you're a great storyteller. You were on the dean's list.

And you were also on scholarship, correct?

- What does that have to do with anything?

- Answer the question, please. - Yes.

- Did you recently lose your scholarship?

- I...

I w...

I was depressed after what--

- Please answer the question, yes or no. - Yes.

- It's convenient timing, isn't it?

Because if Mr. Graydon were to be found guilty,

then you could pursue civil action, which means

you could get a lot of money in damages, couldn't you?

- You think this is about money?

- Well, that would certainly make it "worth it."

- Objection, Your Honour. Speculation. - Overruled.

- Did your creativity help you to spin a tragedy

about drugging and sexual assault in order to obtain

damages from Mr. Graydon? - No. No! I would...

I would give a million dollars just so I could

have my life back after that night.

- Then why would you allow the clinic

to destroy your sexual assault kit?

That sounds like fiction. Did you fabricate this story

to get away with an allegation of rape

without the burden

of DNA evidence? - No, I... No! I didn't!

- You even managed to convince a rookie detective currently on probation

that it was true. Didn't you?

It's a very compelling tale, Ms. Wright.

No further questions, Your Honour.

[indistinct whispering]

- Ahem. Let's take a 15 minute recess.

[indistinct speaking]

- Why won't you return my calls? - I have nothing to say to you.

- I can't have another kid, Jac. - Told you.

I don't want anything from you. - You've shown up

at my house before. - And once was enough.

- You're ruining my life.

- Get over it already.

- You OK? - Yeah, fine.

- How was the cross-examination?

Right. Well, I just spoke to Kyle. Turns out

Miranda was wearing the fitness tracker. And it was on a deep

sleep cycle during the time she said she was at the party.

- That little... - Yeah.

I know. We need to deal with her now.

She goes on the stand in an hour.

- Some trial, huh?

- Pretty crazy.

- You spoke to a colleague of ours

a while back, about the party

where Emma Wright was assaulted. Correct?

- I already gave my statement. - Are you aware

that lying to an officer is a criminal offence?

And withholding evidence about Zach is obstruction?

- Oh, I don't know, Detective.

Obstruction's pretty sweet.

Accessory to murder, though... - Accessory?!

What? I didn't do anything.

- We know that you weren't at the party.

You are about to testify in a first-degree murder trial.

If it comes out that you're lying,

you're gonna be facing some very serious consequences.

Why are you

covering for Zach? - I'm sorry.

I can't... - Can't what?

- If I say anything, they'll... - Who's "they"?

- Look, I know. I know I should

have said something earlier.

I know, it's just... Look, I wasn't even supposed

to see it. They had no idea--

- OK, slow down. Slow down. What did you see?

- No, you don't get it. They're really great guys, I swear. They're just...

They get so wasted

and these girls, they just throw themselves at them.

Like... I...

Look, I know them. I know them. They're r...

What happened to Beth,

it must have been a mistake, an accident.

Look, they would never actually--

- You need to tell us exactly what you know.

- Taylor's my fiancé.

We have a future together. We have plans.

He can't go to jail. Please, he can't.

- Miranda, a girl is dead.

What do you know?

[suspenseful music]

- Have you guys seen Miranda?

- Amelia, you need to see this.

[sighing]

- Your Honour, may we meet in chambers?

Your Honour, we've recently been given new evidence

related to the testimony of Ms. Wright

that we would like to disclose. - I beg your pardon--

- That was accidentally sent to Miranda Towers as part

of a group message on the night of Emma Wright's assault.

Miranda's fiancé, Taylor Hargrove,

was filming it. Emma is unconscious.

- Your Honour, I have no idea where this evidence comes from,

and this approach to discovery-- - Detectives Hall and Cooper

are filing a property form as we speak.

- Given the late disclosure to the defence,

this is clearly grounds for a mistrial.

- I understand that, Mr. Savage,

but you're aware that this is very serious.

The defendant will be facing

multiple charges of sexual assault regardless.

Now, how would you like to proceed?

- Uh...

I think I'll need to confer with my client, Your Honour.

[door opening]

- So...

Looks like sentencing will be in about a week.

- But there's gonna be a new murder trial?

- Yeah. Not for a while, though.

But we did a sweep of the photos

on the frat site and we found one of Beth,

so we should be able to prove that these assaults

were premeditated. When Beth's case

goes to trial... will you be willing to testify again?

- Um...

Yeah.

Yeah.

Can I still watch the video?

- Are you sure?

- I just... I need to know that I didn't make this up.

- It's all cued up.

I'll be right outside, OK?

[men laughing]

- Yo, hold up guys! I'm filming this! Hold on! Hold on!

Zach! Hey, Zach! Heyyy! [laughing]

- She's fine. She's fine.

- Yo, yo. I'm good. I'm good. - Hold her up.

- I've got her! - Hold her!

- Someone give him a hand. - OK, OK.

- She's fine. - Hey. Help him, help him.

- Hey! Get her up. Get her up. Get her up.

[grunting] There you go!

[laughing]

There you go.

There she is.

- Hey.

You OK?

Need a ride home or anything?

- Actually, my parents are outside.

Take it easy, Detective.

- Yeah. You too.

[fast-paced music]

♪♪♪

- Hey, Stevie. You get the statement from Miranda yet?

- Uh, yes. But we can't charge her.

Taylor confirmed that he sent the video to her by mistake,

so she had no legal obligation to share it with us.

- I'm guessing the wedding's off, then.

- Yeah, I guess so. She'll get over it.

Everyone does, right?

- Night night, Stevie.

- Goodnight, Kyle.

- Stevie?!

- Jac? I thought you'd gone home.

- It's the baby.

I'm... I'm bleeding. Something's wrong.

- OK. Come on. Let's get you out of here.
