but it never went anywhere.

We looked into it.
There were charges and countercharges.

But also about other relationships
she was having with other guys on the job.
If she had filed a formal complaint
against Gary at that time,
there would've been four broken marriages,

I was on the phone begging with 911 while he‐‐
he was screaming into his phone in the other room...

but I know the last one was to his shrink.

I can't imagine how you're feeling.
‐ I can't imagine what you're feeling.

We're triangulating those.
But the last one was to you.
You heard his final words.
‐ Olivia, when you told me
you needed to see me right away,
I thought it was because you needed help.
‐ I do need help.
You have information that is relevant to our case.
‐ We have spent a lot of time establishing trust.
If you wanna question me for a case,
you can't come here under a pretext.
‐ And I hear you,
but if Ralph revealed anything to you that could help us‐‐
‐ I cannot reveal it to you.
I am sworn to protect my patient's privacy.
‐ And he's gone. ‐ He's gone,
but confidentiality extends beyond the grave.
‐ Well, so you know...
if you can't see a way to help us,
then the DA's office is going to subpoena you.
‐ Well, then I'll see them in court, Olivia.
Now, you'll excuse me. I lost a patient tonight.
It's not your problem, but I think you can understand
what I'm feeling right now.
‐ Your Honor, we believe that Dr. Lindstrom has evidence
that is crucial to an ongoing SVU investigation.
Now, it's evidence we can't get any other way
because the complaining witness,
and another key witness, Dr. Lindstrom's patient,
are both deceased.
‐ Dr. Lindstrom,
without asking you to reveal anything specific,
can you advise the court
as to whether you might have information relevant
to this investigation?
‐ I'm not prepared to answer even that, Your Honor.
There is a precedent here.
We are all profoundly aware that the NYPD
is in the middle of a mental health crisis,
and it is more important than ever that police officers
who have the courage to seek counseling
know that their records,
their conversations remain privileged...
even after their death.
‐ So Carisi's taking Lindstrom to court?
‐ Yeah‐‐I wouldn't count on that working either.
Where are we?
‐ Well, in 2004,
Rachel made Detective under Captain Gary Wald
and Sergeant Ralph Morris.
She partners up with Detective Guevara.
‐ From Tucker's file,
she hooked up with all three of them plus a UC.
‐ Ralphie? I don't believe that.
‐ It would explain Gary's leverage over him.
‐ We were able to trace the burner cell.
Gary and Ralphie exchanged calls before he killed himself.
‐ Okay, so after Rachel's suicide,
Ralphie feels guilt,
Gary leans on him to keep quiet, and...
Ralphie just doesn't see another way out.
‐ I respect the principle, Your Honor,
but in this case,
the two suicides may well have been the result
of the crime and a cover‐up,
and Dr. Lindstrom has a duty to warn.
He may have information that could stop yet another officer
from committing suicide.
‐ Mr. Carisi, I've heard you use phrases like, "maybe,"
"may well have been," "we believe."
All words that tell me this evidence you seek
is speculative and secondhand and maybe even third‐hand.
You've failed to show that the interests of justice
outweigh the deceased's interest in confidentiality.
‐ Oh, my, Dr. Lindstrom, are you okay?
‐ I'm fine.
This must've happened while I was at the hearing.
‐ I'm sorry. ‐ They broke into my desk,
but they didn't bother to take prescription samples
or my checkbook.
‐ Was anything missing? ‐ Two things.
My laptop and Ralph Morris' file.
‐ They must have been worried that the court was gonna
order you to turn your notes over.
‐ And now they have them. ‐ We'll call CSU,
get a team in here and run prints,
look for touch DNA.
‐ Yeah, I can save you the time.
I had a visit to my office here late last night.

‐ It all ties up in a bow, and the dead don't speak
to the living.
‐ So are we good to go on the arrest warrant for Gary Wald?
‐ Wald runs a global security firm, right?
So if there's anything out there on Tucker,
he's gonna find it?
Is Tucker okay testifying against his former partner?
‐ Tucker's clean. ‐ And you believe him?
‐ Took him long enough to come around on Rachel.
‐ If this goes to trial, how long will it take?
Months? ‐ Could be years.
Why are you asking?
‐ There's a reason that Tucker wasn't himself before.
‐ Captain, what are you talking about?
‐ Don't make me spell it out.
‐ So we need to do this without him?
‐ Yes.
‐ Okay.
We have the tapes‐‐I'll get you the search warrants.
Also see if you can flush out
anybody from Vice from that time.
‐ Anything else? ‐ Yeah.
Pick up Gary Wald.

‐ If you guys are here to talk about
working for me after retirement,
you should've called ahead for an appointment.
‐ Guess again. ‐ Gary Wald, we've got
a warrant for your arrest for sexual assault,
witness tampering, and breaking and entering.
‐ Based on what?
The word of two cops who were having an affair
and then killed themselves?
‐ You better watch your mouth.
‐ Damn, what is her problem?
‐ You heard what she said.
‐ Let's go.
‐ So Gary's on his way to Central Booking?
‐ Yup.
‐ One of my best friends, my partner,
and I never even knew it.
[sighs]
I think of all the people I never let get close to me
because of IAB.
‐ Don't blame yourself, Ed. ‐ Why not?
It was my job to root out bad cops,
and I missed one of the worst.
He was standing right in front of me.
If I hadn't, Rachel might still be here.
‐ Ed, a lot of people missed it.
I have missed some things.
[sighs]
‐ I didn't realize we'd changed the subject.
We're talking about us now?
[emotional music]
‐ I'm sorry...for the way that I ended things.
I think underneath it all...
I was afraid.
‐ And your dance card was full.
The job, Noah.
‐ What I wish I had and what I wish we had...
Is more time.
‐ It's okay.
We'll always have Paris.
You know, I've always wanted to say that.
‐ Did the son of a bitch make bail?
‐ No, once the judge heard about his private plane,
his multiple passports‐‐
if he's not a flight risk, no one is.
‐ He can cool his jets at the jail
they were going to name after him.
‐ Oh, my God.
‐ What?

‐ I heard about Tucker. How you doing?
‐ He took his life with his old .38.
I just don't know what to do with that.
‐ There's nothing you can do with it.
It just is.
‐ He left his wife a letter, his benefits, his pension.
He told her that he didn't want her to spend the best years
of her life taking care of a dying man.
He had brain cancer.
‐ Oh, I didn't know.
He was suffering, Liv.
That's not how he'd want to be remembered.
‐ I know. I know.
It's just a lot of rain in one place.
‐ You don't need to be here alone.
Let me drive you home.
‐ Just give me a minute. I'll be okay.
I'm good.
