and Cameron talking

about last night

- with that "Marcus Alva"?

- Oh, Marcus, yeah.

Um... well, a couple of years ago,

Cameron took an interest in this kid

after he was sent to foster care.

You know, he had drug problems.

He had really fallen through

the cracks of the system.

One day, she finds him

loitering in front of a house.

Instead of bringing him in, she

lets him go with a warning.

Now, 24 hours later, kid

gets caught breaking

into a nice house by the owner.

So what happened? He did time?

Owner shot him.

Cameron thinks, had she

arrested him for loitering...

the kid would be alive today.

Wow.

So, how long have you been

taking Grandma's drugs?

Really, Detective? Can we

avoid the accusatory quips?

Can I speak for myself, please?

They weren't her drugs.

They came from the man who started

cramming them down my throat.

How old was he?

What did he look like?

Um...

I don't know. He was...

bigger and stronger than

me, and he had this...

this strong cologne that was...

So, how come the kids who

called 9-1-1 didn't see him?

Detective, let's focus

on what Holly saw,

not speculate on what

other people saw.

Well, just ask the guy, Dan.

He was with me for over an hour.

All right. Dan who?

Dan, uh...

Dan... you know,

he's, he was a business

major at, uh...

Holly. Look, you have a record.

OK, you've got to do

better than this.

My boss is breathing

down my neck here.

All right, take it back.

The man who attacked you...

crammed the drugs in your mouth.

Then what happened?

And then I felt his

hands all over me.

I even thought he

was gonna rape me.

And that must have been where

he went into my purse,

planted the vial.

Did you fingerprint it?

Holly, the results

were inconclusive.

- Well, then, how can you say that it's mine?

- 'Cause it was in your purse!

- Come on, Holly.

- West.

Look. The DA calls that

possession, and the courts agree.

OK, think, Holly.

Can you remember anything else

about the man who attacked you?

- He had these long nails. Mm-hmm.

- Long nails?

His hands were just...

all over my body, and

I could just feel

his nails digging into my

face, and that's when he took

the powder, and he started

pouring it into my mouth, and...

OK. let me get this straight.

- Our mystery man had long nails?

- Mm-hmm.

- He wore cologne...

- Yes.

And a vial of drugs that

he put in your purse?

- Yeah...

- What else you're making up?

Keep it up, Detective,

I will file a complaint.

Cameron, can I talk

to you for a minute?

Yeah.

I'll be right back.

Mrs. Brooks, I know

this is very difficult,

but I need you to remember

everything you can, OK?

What time did you last
