[Scotty] 'Boss wants to see me.'
IAD is wrapping it up, finally.
What do you got?
Well, Vera's talking to this guy..
...info on a floater from '63.
Drowned in a lake at FDR.
[Scotty] 'He got a name?'
She.
Wait, that's a boy.
- Right? - Wrong.
Samantha Randall, 16.
The body washed up a half-mile down from the bridge.
Suicide Point that bridge.
Ain't our jurisdiction when teenagers jump.
Mm. Only our guy says she didn't.
I've been a drunk my whole life, but I..
...I got sober this year.
I got six months.
Good for you.
In AA, they say that you're only sick as your secrets.
Anytime you want to get to the point, bub.
The point is, everybody said that girl jumped
from the bridge, but she didn't.
And how do you know?
'Cause I was on the bridge that night.
Well, maybe your memory's a little fuzzy.
I heard a car pull up and...then this little splash.
I look down in the water and a girl floats by
right in front of me.
You're here to clear your conscience, right, Maurice?
Why don't you save us the song and dance, admit you did it?
I admit those were dark times, but not that dark.
The only one I was killing was myself.
[instrumental music]
There's no water in her lungs.
And not likely she drowned.
Saying she was dead when she hit the water?
No one caught it back then?
Mm. Wasn't going for a midnight swim in this red dress.
So somebody dumped her.
Uh, tough to kill yourself if you're already dead.
[theme music]
[instrumental music]
You wanted to see me, boss?
Have a seat, Scotty.
Uh, nah, I'm...good.
IAD is recommending suspension. 30 days, unpaid.
Just like that, huh?
They're citing procedure..
'...perimeter.'
You've been around long enough to know how it goes.
So, do I just...leave now?
If I thought you were wrong, you'd be gone by now.
Get back to work.
Yeah, but... I'm suspended, right?
They recommended suspension.
So, you got to come up with a counteroffer now, or something?
Do your job, Scotty.
Let me do mine.
[instrumental music]
Samantha Randall some kids found her body
washed up at FDR park.
Yup, it's a girl.
Not where I come from.
I was a tomboy when I was little.
Used to beat my brothers arm wrestling.
Guessing you didn't take it this far, though.
To each their own.
A classmate said Samantha only wore boys' clothes.
Until the night she died, that is.
Well, she was the new kid in town.
Enrolled at Grays Ferry High School
a couple months before she died.
Kids must've loved her.
The cops ruled it a suicide, chalked it up to her..
...behavior problem.
Ran away from home every few weeks.
Had three arrests for public intoxication.
We thinking she was gay?
Oh, back in '63 that was a disease.
You could've been acting out, confused.
Doer might've taught the freak a lesson.
Put her in a dress to drive the point home.
So how'd she die?
The marks on her temples might be bruises, burns?
Uh, I'll see if she got family left.
Find out just how rough this tomboy had it.
Mm.
[instrumental music]
Archie Randall?
- You found him. - Philly Homicide.
I got some questions, if you don't mind.
Homicide? What is this?
Maybe you'd like to speak in private.
Finish without me.
I'm looking into your daughter's death.
I don't understand.
Sam...killed herself.
You told officers she was having behavior problems.
Well, you would, too, if your mom died when you were little.
I raised her on my own.
Did the best I could anyway.
Was she always a tomboy?
Hmm. Like the son I never had.
She loved to build tree forts and play in the mud.
[chuckles]
But...around age 12, trouble started.
What kind of troubles?
Oh, sassing her teachers and skipping school and fightin'.
Got kicked out of...a few high schools upstate.
That why you moved to Grays Ferry?
Twice we had to pack up and move to a new town.
We-we were damn lucky not to end up in the poorhouse.
I hope you don't mind me asking
but Sam's alternative behavior..
...how far did it go?
I'm not sure I catch your meaning.
Did your daughter prefer the company of...other girls?
Oh, no, no, no.
She wasn't one of those.
Can you think of anyone who would wanna hurt your daughter?
I gotta admit.
Sam didn't have a lot of friends.
She always acted like it was her against the world.

November '63.
We think someone killed her.
My God.
Found wearing a dress, just like you said she should.
I, uh, used to shoot my mouth off all the time.

Yeah, I skipped school, too.
Wanna write that down?
I didn't kill her.
Where were you the night she died?

[chuckles] Hell, yeah.
She pissed everyone off.

You told him to save her.
It was my first and last act of rebellion.
How did he get past the hospital gate?
[chuckles]
I gave him the key.
[instrumental music]
Beautiful work.
You're not here to talk about stained glass, are you?
It's the same image..
'...over and over in...every piece.'
[Lilly] 'That...one figure.'
Alone against the world.
Kind of like Sam.
I already told you. We were...just friends.
Oh, it's hard to believe.
Seeing this.
[Kat] 'Hypothetically speaking..'
...if you love a girl
who's actually a boy inside
what does that make you?
I...didn't, uh..
...love Sam.
Then why'd you save her?
Boy, girl..
'...they're just words, right?'
Define what's on the outside. Not what's in here.
Why are you doing this?
You made a deal, at the lake
to never let 'em change you.
Die trying.
[Kat] 'That's why you bought her back there.'
The one place... she could be free.
She was.
Free.
In the end.
I made sure of that.
You couldn't put a name on what you had.
- But it still mattered. - Ah!
It was the only thing that mattered.
That's why I went to her.
Come on, Sam.
Let's go. I'm getting you out of here. Let's go!
Sam?
[instrumental music]
Sam?
[melancholic music]
Hey.
Sam.
Come back. Come back.
Come back.
Please, Sam.
Please come back.
I-I blew it, I-I know I let you down
but you gotta come back 'cause we made a deal. We had a deal.
Remember?
At the lake?
To never let them change us.
To always be free.
Or die trying.
Huh? You remember?
Make me free.
I-I can't.
I won't.
I won't do that, Sam, I..
I won't, no way.
No way!
[mumbling]
I-I know you're in there, Sam.
I-I know it's you!
Come on. I won't do that. You hear me?
I won't.
Don't I look pretty?
