Lindsay Confesses

April 2, 2003

Sam's voice: He needs his father, too. And that's you, Bo. I'm sorry I kept this from you, but you're Matthew's biological father.

[Key turns in lock]

Bo: Hey. How you been?

Gabrielle: Hey. I didn't expect to see you back so soon.

Bo well, the soccer game -- I'll tell you, that little Matthew is a soccer player. You know, he's fearless. Reminds me a lot of myself when I was his age. But it's so sad. Sam is gone now, so he's going to miss that whole part of growing up -- having a father, having a big guy to bounce things off of.

Gabrielle: Oh, Bo! I've done something terrible, and you're going to hate me when I tell you.

*~*

Lindsay: Hello. I've committed a crime, and I'd like to confess to my friend comm. Bo Buchanan, please.

Officer: He's -- he's not here right now. I'll find somebody who can take your statement.

Lindsay: Oh, no, no. No, it has to be Bo because he's my friend and he cares very, very much about me.

Jen: Mom, you're really scaring me.

Lindsay: Oh, Jen, I wouldn't do that.

Jen: Please, I just really need you to be yourself right now, ok?

Lindsay: I am. Who else would I be?

Nora: Lindsay?

Lindsay: Oh, I love your hair.

Nora: Ahem -- thank you. Um -- what are you doing here?

*~*

Bo: Hey, come here. I love you. All right?

Gabrielle: I love you.

Bo: I don't care what you said or what you did or anything else. It wouldn't make any difference. It wouldn't change anything.

Gabrielle: Oh, I hope you still feel that way when I tell you that I --

Bo: Oh --

[Phone rings]

Bo: You know what? No, no -- if this is the department, I got to take it, so --

[Ring]

Bo: No, it's Nora. You know what? I'll tell her that I'll call her right back. Hello -- hey, Nora? Listen, I'm right in the middle of --

Nora: Bo, you need to get down here. Ahem -- Lindsay Rappaport is down here, and she'd like to make a confession, but she'll only talk to her very good friend comm. Buchanan.

Bo: Alright, I'll be right there. Listen, I think we got a break in Sam's murder case, so I've got g go.

Gabrielle: Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Bo: All right.

Gabrielle: Ok.

Bo: No, wait -- you wanted to tell me something.

Gabrielle: Oh, no --

Bo: No, go ahead.

Gabrielle: Nothing. No, no. No, you go, go, go.

Bo: Are you sure?

Gabrielle: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'll be here when you get back.

Bo: Ok. All right. Well, you can tell me then.

Gabrielle: Yes, I'll tell you later.

Bo: All right. I'll be right back.

Gabrielle: Ok.

*~*

Bo: Lindsay, I'd like Nora to sit in on this. Is that ok?

Lindsay: Of course.

Bo: Today is Monday, march 31, 10:50 P.M. Present, Comm. Bo Buchanan, Assistant District Attorney Nora Buchanan, Lindsay Rappaport, and her daughter, Jennifer Rappaport. Lindsay Rappaport has waived her right to have an attorney present. Ok. There's something that you wanted to tell us.

Lindsay: Yes. I shot my former husband, Sam Rappaport. I didn't mean to do it. I thought it was Troy, so, you see, it's really his fault that Sam is dead. I mean, I -- if Troy hadn't been sleeping with her, I wouldn't have gone to Blair's house in the first place.

Bo: So you're saying that you went to Blair Manning's house intending to shoot troy Maciver?

Lindsay: He hurt me very, very badly, so I went to the whore's house and I shot him.

Bo: But you didn't shoot troy Maciver. You shot Sam Rappaport instead.

Lindsay: I did? Where did Troy go?

Nora: Lindsay, do you know why Sam was at Blair's that night?

Lindsay: Sam? Yes, Sam was there. But you said -- you said that Sam didn't come until after I shot Troy! I still don't understand why Troy didn't die. I shot him. And then Sam was there. Your father -- your father shouldn't have been there. Why did he love Blair? He should've just stayed home.

Jen: She's not making any sense.

Lindsay: You should have just stayed home. You shouldn't have come. Oh, look at you. You're all bloody. Troy shot you and you're all bloody.

Jen: She's talking to daddy again.

Lindsay: Sam. Sam, I did what you told me. I told the truth. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do it. I'm sorry, Sam.

*~*

Nora: Maybe you should just not be here.

Jen: The worst is when she talks to daddy. It started in the car on the way over here.

Nora: Listen, honey, you've done everything that you can, and you did great. All right? This isn't your fault.

Lindsay: No, don't touch me. Don't touch me. I'm bad, and if you touch me, you're going to be bad.

Bo: Lindsay, you got to take easy.

Lindsay: I deserve to be punished. So don't touch me. I'm going to hell. Just don't.

Nora: I better get back in there.

Lindsay: Sam, I didn't mean it. Please leave me alone.

Nora: Lindsay, Sam's not here.

Lindsay: I was so in love with troy, and he betrayed me, so I shot Colin. I couldn't help it. I couldn't help it.

*~*

Nora: Jen?

Troy: Excuse me, miss? I'd like to make an -- Nora.

Nora: What do you want?

Troy: Well, to be honest with you, I'm a little worried about Blair. I don't understand why she's still being charged with Sam's murder, Nora.

Nora: Well, you can tell your friend Blair not to worry. The charges are going to be dropped.

Troy: What do you mean? Why?

Nora: We have someone inside who's making a confession.

Troy: What?

Lindsay: Please help me.

*~*

Lindsay: You seem nice. Are you a policeman like my friend Bo?

Troy: Come on, Lindsay. You know I'm a doctor.

Lindsay: I like doctors. They're good people. They're very handsome, too.

Troy: Are you ok?

Lindsay: No. I need your help. I need you to protect me.

Troy: What's going on here?

Lindsay: I came here to talk to Bo. I needed to tell him something, but he's not here. He's not -- did I kill Bo, too?

Nora: No, Lindsay, you didn't kill Bo.

Lindsay: No.

Troy: Bo's fine.

Lindsay: No, of course. I wouldn't kill Bo. I love him, and he loves me, and we're going to get married. Or we -- we were going to get married, but something happened. I don't know what happened.

Bo: I've arranged for Lindsay to be taken to St. Ann's for psychiatric evaluation.

Troy: Good. Think she needs it.

Lindsay: Are they nice people there?

Troy: Yeah, Lindsay, they're very nice.

Lindsay: Will you take me?

Troy: Uh --

Bo: You can ride along if you like. Ofc. Roberts is going to take her.

Lindsay: Will you help me? Please?

Troy: You -- you want me to help you?

Lindsay: I'm all alone.

Troy: Lindsay, do you know who I am?

Lindsay: No. But you seem very kind. And sometimes, you know, the kindest people in the world are strangers. And that's all I want around me right now is kind people.

Troy: Ok, come on. Let's go. Let's go visit the kind people at St. Ann's.

*~*

Bo: Troy checked her into St. Ann's. They're going to do an evaluation as soon as possible.

Nora: She killed one of the best men I ever knew, and she's already trying to get away with it.

Bo: You're not buying, huh?

Nora: An insanity defense is not going to fly. Over my dead body it will.

Bo: Nora, come on, take it easy. If she's faking it, the doctors will be able to figure that out.

Nora: Oh, come on, are you going to give her the benefit of the doubt?

Bo: I just want to be sure.

Nora: She killed Sam. She killed him. She killed him! She -- she left Matthew without a daddy!
