How It All Goes Down
- Rob goes after Devlin first.
- He butters him up by talking about how nice his daughter's names are (they're all from Shakespeare's various plays)…
- … and then springs the old rape on him.
- Of course, Devlin is furious.
- Rob says that it's possible that the victim (Sandra) might have something to do with Katy's murder—you know, as revenge.
- Devlin tells his side of the story, and acts like it was a bonding experience between the three boys.
- He says that was the reason, though "there's no excuse for what we did" (13.59).
- Plus, it's not like he raped her in the woods—he only held her down. (For the record, we're not impressed by his differentiation.)
- Strangely, Devlin also heard a weird voice in the woods: a "huge voice laughing" (13.7). Creepy.
- Before Rob leaves, Devlin asks him to apologize to Sandra, because of course someone else apologizing to her all these years later for him will totally fix things.
- Rob then goes to see Shane Waters, who is in jail. He says he "don't know nothing" (13.89), including, apparently, proper grammar.
- Finally, Cassie and Rob go together to see Cathal Mills, and to publicly embarrass him at his work.
- They bust into his conference room and ask to talk to him about a rape he could help them investigate.
- Cassie plays bad cop, accusing Cathal of being a closeted homosexual with a tiny penis.
- Rob then kicks her out and pretends to get all buddy-buddy with Cathal, who insists there was never rape, but if there were (who is he, OJ Simpson?), he wouldn't have gotten caught.
- Also, he says that Jonathan Devlin is too much of a "pussy" (13.137) to ever commit a crime on his own.
- Rob still wants to arrest Devlin, to get him out of the house and away from Rosalind, but Cassie says they shouldn't believe anything Cathal says because he's a psychopath.
- And then she tells an anecdote about a psychopath she knew who tormented her in college; he's why she dropped out.
