ROE: Hey, sir, just a moment of your time?
I'm looking for Kate Jordan.
NEWS ANCHOR: Okay, City Island in the news again today,
as the Joe Hagan murder trial continues in Queens.
Our own Anne Austin is there.
ANNE: That's right, Jim.
They've broken for lunch here at court.
As you know, City Island real-estate mogul Joe Hagan
stands accused of murdering his wife, Nora,
while boating off the coast of Long Island in August of 2010.
Queens homicide detective, Al Burns,
was on the stand first today.
Wait a second, I think we have something, Jim.
That's District Attorney Mark Adams.
Mark, how do you think it went in there today?
We've got a ways to go, Anne,
but I'm confident this jury will do the right thing.
Mr. Feldman, Mr. Hagan,
what do you think of the State's case?
Any word on Kate? Not yet.
But I got my team all over it. We need her, Al.
I can't afford to lose another witness.
If Kate can't give us Hagan threatening his wife...
We don't stand a chance, I know.
We're gonna find her.
Certain individuals seized on this tragedy to...
Are you talking about the District Attorney's office?
I'm talking about him.
Lieutenant, what are you
trying to do to me?
You know I never laid a hand on my wife.
I loved her; I couldn't, and you know that.
So, why are you lying? Joe, Joe...
Ask him right now why is he lying.
You killed your wife, Joe Hagan.
You pushed her off your boat, and you watched her drown. Our witness,
Kate Jordan, has flown in from Cleveland to testify
that Joe Hagan had a history of physically attacking
and threatening his wife. That's not true!
We believe the jury
will reach its own conclusions. FELDMAN: Well, happily,
for the citizens of New York,
what you believe is immaterial.
Let's go, Joe.
Your guys who were prepping her,
any sense something was up?
She was nervous.
They put it down to trial jitters.
That's it. FELDMAN: Now, Joe Hagan
is a beloved resident of City Island.
He lost his wife in a terrible accident...
Kate Jordan.
Find her, Lieutenant.
Hey, excuse me, ma'am, you seen this woman by chance?
Kate Jordan? Happen to know her?
Maybe you saw her?
No? NINA: Nothing at all?
Are you sure?
No. ROE: Seen Kate Jordan?
Huh?
Excuse me, sir, name's Kate Jordan,
she used to work around here.
Never heard of her.
Hey! I'm asking you a question, pal.
Have you seen Kate Jordan?
Today's the day she testifies, all right?
So, go check at court.
CARRIE: Wow.
You should be on TV; anybody ever tell you that?
You killed your wife, Joe Hagan. Oops, you are.
Not my finest performance, huh?
Nah, you were great.
That guy's a thug. What are you doing here?
I don't know, came to cheer you up, see if I could lend
a hand. Yeah?
You got a witness in your pocket?
No, I'm just happy to see you.
They haven't found her yet?
And no one on the island's talking.
Kate spent her whole life with those people,
it's like she never existed.
What the hell does Hagan have on them anyway?
Guy owns the place.
Nobody makes a buck on City Island,
Joe Hagan doesn't take his cut.
Money buys silence, money buys love.
It's been going on for years.
My first month on the job,
we found a floater up by the Throgs Neck,
17-year-old girl,
evidence of sexual assault.
She was seen leaving a club
with Hagan earlier in the night.
Tons of witnesses, nobody came forward.
M.E. said possible suicide.
That's what I had to tell the mom.
Yeah, so enough is enough.
Yeah, enough is enough.
(phone rings) Mm.
GUARD: Sir, can I see some ID?
AL: Oh, back in court.
Maybe Adams can buy us some time.
JUDGE: Missing?
How exactly is she missing, Mr. Adams?
We're not sure, Your Honor.
Kate Jordan came into town
obviously intending to testify; something has happened.
We're just asking for a little time to figure out what that is.
Come on, Mark, you lost a witness.
That's not anyone's fault but yours.
Yeah, where exactly was your client last night?
Gentlemen.
Innuendo aside, Your Honor,
I would ask that jeopardy attach
and that this case be declared a mistrial. Your Honor,
the State is asking for two days.
Lieutenant Burns is directing
our efforts to locate Ms. Jordan.
How about it, Lieutenant?
Do you think you have a shot?
Absolutely, we'll find her.
You're right.
Your client has a right to his day in court.
But the interests of justice will not be harmed
in granting a two-day recess.
That's all you get, guys.
48 hours, enough time for me
to get through season four of Mad Men.
Now go.
CARRIE: Okay, thanks.
I'll let him know.
Yeah, bye.
Hey. We got 48 hours.
All right, well, we may not need it.
Nina just found Kate's hotel.
(knocking on door)
(shower running) AL: NYPD.
Kate, it's Al Burns.
(key lock beeping)
(water stops)
Well, the shower's been running, but I don't think she got in it.
The towels haven't been touched.
No ID, no wallet or keys.
You smell that? Hmm?
Certainly not chloroform.
Angel Mist.
That's, like, $200 a bottle perfume.
Kind of sexy stuff to wear to court.
Guys, Jordan's rental car left the garage at 11:44.
But this is interesting.
Manager says an emergency door to the garage from the street
was tripped last night
around 15 minutes before.
They know if it was coming or going?
No.
So, she checks in,
runs a shower, then disappears.
Yeah, so she got spooked,
or she got grabbed.
Or both.
You really don't think there's a case without her testimony? The problem's always been,
we can't be sure what happened on that boat.
And the only other person on board,
Hagan's pal Clancy Watts,
is gonna back up Hagan's version of the events.
Which is exactly why Kate Jordan is so critical.
Her testimony is that three days before the murder,
she witnessed Hagan hit his wife
and specifically threaten to throw her into the river.
Yeah, yeah... That's violence, and an actual death threat.
Yeah, lots of guys say they're going to kill their wives,
but how were you guys gonna prove
that he actually went through with it?
Currents.
Excuse me?
Well, more precisely, current patterns.
Here.
D.A.'s office prepared this for trial.
It's a 3-D representation of what we think
happened the night of the murder.
Avatar, it's not, but I think
it gives Tintin a run for the money.
Hagan says he invited Nora out for a romantic cruise.
Clancy Watts comes along to crew.
Watts says at 9:30, Nora went top side
to get some fresh air after too much champagne.
Watts and Hagan start up a poker game down in the cabin.
Hagan says he checked on Nora every 15 minutes.
Watts will testify he could hear Hagan talking to her until 10:15
when Hagan went to check and then came
running back down to tell him Nora was gone.
They called the Coast Guard.
They start searching.
The only problem, we know that she
went over 30 minutes before Hagan said.
NINA: How'd you figure?
Like I said.
Current patterns.
If she'd gone over when they claimed,
she'd have drifted up into the Sound.
Instead, she washed up on the lovely shores of Queens.
ROE: plus there is the matter of the deck railing
Nora Hagan was five foot two.
The railing on the deck, came up to four inches below her chin.
There's no way you go over that by accident.
But with a little help...
Okay, so then why didn't just show this to the jury?
Judge ruled it inadmissible.
She said that it was too prejudicial.
Which is why we need Kate Jordan.
I found it.
You found what?
The original forensic file for the Nora Hagan murder.
I didn't know you were looking for it.
Detective Wells asked me.
Oh, she did, huh? I did.
I appreciate it, but right now,
the priority is Kate Jordan.
What happens if we can't find Kate Jordan?
If the judge doesn't dismiss,
we'll go ahead with what we have.
Lieutenant, what you have
and two-fifty will get you on the E train.
Sorry. So, you're gonna re-examine
all the old forensics and come up with a new case in...
44 hours?
What, you want it faster?
CARRIE: Wow, you're really good.
We already know what's in this file.
No evidence Hagan drugged his wife,
some bruising on Nora's arms
but not enough to positively say they struggled.
Not very helpful.
Then it can't hurt if we take a look at it again.
AL: Excuse me, but it can hurt.
We've already filed our forensics evidence
with the court.
If you come up with any new conclusions
that damage our case even a little bit,
we got to turn that over to the defense.
Lieutenant, with all due respect,
if Kate Jordan doesn't show up,
your case is already damaged, and not just a little.
All right, knock yourself out.
But listen, no more
tag teams, you two.
What?
What are those?
I thought I'd go back,
take a look at the people who knew Kate Jordan.
Who's she?
Gwen Turning.
She was a roommate before Kate went to Ohio.
She was not very cooperative first time through,
so maybe worth another look.
That's what I had to tell the mom.
So, yeah...
enough is enough.
(phone rings)
AL: Back in court.
Maybe Adams can buy us some time.
She was at the courthouse.
She went up to a guy, average looking,
sandy hair, charcoal gray suit.
One of these two?
Him.
Well, that is Clancy Watts.
He was the other person on the boat the night Nora died.
(no audio)
I couldn't really hear what they were saying,
but I think she was asking him
if he knew where Kate Jordan was.
Why did she think he knew?
Good question.
(siren chirps)
Hi, Gwen.
I don't got anything to say to you, Lieutenant.
I went to Kate's hotel. She's gone.
We think Hagan's involved.
Oh, my God.
I cannot be talking to you.
If Mr. Hagan hears about it, I'll lose my job.
Why do you think I followed you all the way out
to Arthur Avenue so no one would see us?
Come on, Gwen. Help me out here.
I don't know where she is.
I thought she was going to be there this morning.
But you thought Clancy Watts would know.
You asked him at court this morning.
They were friends before Nora died.
I don't know.
I thought maybe she might have been in touch with him.
Look, I got a doctor's appointment, all right?
I got to get going. Gwen, I'm not
asking you to help me get Hagan.
I know you can't do that.
But you lived with Kate for three years.
I know you want me to find her, make sure she's okay.
All right, she called me last week, right?
She told me she's coming into town for the trial.
She...
She said she was going to change her testimony.
Change it? Change it how?
I don't know. I didn't ask. I don't want to know.
What did you think she meant--
she was going to testify for Hagan?
I swear, I don't know.
She tell anybody else?
She didn't say.
Think she's okay, though, right?
I don't know.
Thanks for your help, Gwen.
Yeah.
(engine starts)
MIKE: So, you don't know
anything, Mr. Watts? About Kate Jordan, no.
Any idea where she might be?
Look, guys, I appreciate that you're looking for her,
but you do realize I'm testifying for Joe Hagan
in all this. ROE: Oh, yeah.
We got that, but doesn't mean you're not a decent guy
who'd want to help find a woman who went missing yesterday.
Look, I barely know Kate Jordan,
so, no, I have no idea where she is.
MIKE: Well, it's just a funny thing,
then, huh? 'Cause Gwen Turning seems
to think you two are friends.
(seagull cawing)
Sorry I can't be of any more help to you guys.
Ah.
Ah, now, there goes a guy with more to say.
Uh-huh. You get anything?
Yeah, let's see.
Ten of Hagan's employees refused to talk to me.
Eight threw profanity in my general direction.
Oh, and a kindly elderly woman told me Joe Hagan is a saint,
and I should burn in hell for suggesting otherwise.
Yeah.
You got that kind of face.
What?
AL (on video): I'm Lieutenant Al Burns,
and I'm interviewing Kate Jordan on August 14, 2010.
So, did the D.A.'s office know anything
about Kate changing her testimony?
She never notified them.
KATE: It's the right thing to do...
Huh. All right, what are we looking for?
You tell me. Okay.
AL: Where do you work?
At Joe Hagan's showroom in the office.
CARRIE: You know, she's younger than I thought.
She turned 24 when we were prepping.
Three years. Mr. Hagan hired me when I graduated from BCC.
AL: How well did you know Nora Hagan?
Not too well.
I'd see her around the office now and then.
And what did you see the Tuesday before she died?
It was late,
and I heard an argument.
It was Joe...
It was Mr. and Mrs. Hagan.
They were in Mr. Hagan's office.
AL: What was the argument about?
I can see why she makes a good witness.
She's brave going up against Hagan.
And against the people in town.
I'm not sure exactly,
but Mrs. Hagan called him a liar, and he hit her.
She got a lot of grief when she agreed to testify for us.
Ended up moving off the island, eventually out of state.
AL: You saw him hit her?
KATE: No, but I heard it.
She started to cry.
And when she came out after,
she was... she was... she was holding her hand over her eye,
you know, like-like this.
Mm-hmm. And what happened after he hit her?
She told him she was gonna leave him,
and then he said if she tried,
he'd make sure they found her body
at the bottom of the East River.
Kate, is there anything else you can tell me
that relates to Nora Hagan's murder?
Do you see anything?
KATE: No.
Here, give me that for a sec.
(tape rewinding)
Kate, is there anything else you can tell me
that relates to Nora Hagan's murder?
No.
Right there. See that? Now, why
does she take so long to answer you
when you ask her if there's anything else?
I was wondering that, too.
NINA: Hey.
Got the rundown on the hotel phone.
Kate did call Clancy Watts yesterday afternoon around 3:00.
Nice of him
to mention that to Mike and Roe.
Yeah. Perhaps more importantly,
she got a call herself later, only seven minutes before
the emergency door got tripped at the hotel garage.
We know from who?
Burner cell. Trying to track it.
Nice work.
I want Clancy Watts in the box.
This guy's in it up to his eyeballs.
Clancy and Hagan have been friends since high school.
He makes his living running Hagan's marina.
Now, if he's willing to lie under oath about Hagan's wife,
he's not gonna give us anything about Kate Jordan.
I can get him to talk.
He's a witness, Al.
We can't have him showing up with a black eye.
I didn't mean that.
Whatever you meant,
I think I may have a better idea.
All right, look,
Clancy is not gonna talk to us.
There's no way it's gonna happen. So?
Maybe he'll talk to someone else.
Oh, there's that tone again. What tone?
The one with which you propose
the half-baked idea which makes no sense
to anyone but you, which could easily get us
both fired, but no matter what I say, you go and do it anyway.
That tone.
I'm not familiar with that tone.
There it is again.
Be careful!
(seagull cawing)
(boat engine purring)
(sighing)
I got her here.
(sighs)
There you go.
You can tie it off on the back there.
Okay.
I'm glad you guys weren't closed for the season.
I would have drifted all the way to Italy.
Happy to help.
Clancy Watts. Oh.
Hannah Ashworth.
Nice to meet you.
Welcome to City Island.
Thanks. You good back there?
Yeah, fine.
All right, I'll meet up in the office.
All right. Thank you.
(seagull cawing)
(birds squawking)
The buyer was insistent
I get her to Newport as soon as possible.
He wants to re-bed the deck, the whole deck,
before the start of the season.
(laughs) Where you up from?
Hilton Head.
I figured even with weather,
it'd take me about a week, I'd still make
my dentist appointment next Tuesday, no problem.
But with all that play in the wheel,
can't really ignore it.
Yeah, no fun drifting into a shipping lane. (laughs)
(laughs) Yeah, it's probably just your, uh...
your head gears are worn.
Well, maybe just remove a shim or two,
you know, eliminate some of the slack.
He can have his guy replace the whole pedestal.
So, you been on the island a long time?
Oh, I grew up here, so, uh, yeah, basically since
I could walk. Oh, yeah? Good people?
Yeah. Mostly.
Here.
Thanks. So, I guess I'll just sleep
on the boat until she's ready if that's okay? Yeah. I'll get you
some juice for your heater.
Great.
Anywhere good to eat around here?
Ah, food's one thing we got.
It's a little walk down the avenue, though. If you want
something closer, there's a deli
across the street makes a pretty good sandwich.
Great. Thank you for you help. I appreciate it.
Yeah. Okay.
(phone ringing)
CARRIE: Ahoy.
Ahoy there, Ahab.
How are things?
Apparently, my head gear's a little worn.
(chuckling): I could have told you that.
What about Clancy?
Well, I talked to him a little.
I'm not sure what,
but the guy's definitely got something
on his mind, that's for sure.
Just be careful, okay?
Hey, careful is my middle name.
How about you?
Any luck on Kate's phone?
Still haven't located it.
Tanya's doing her magic, but no luck yet.
Hey, I was just looking for you.
Well, finding me at my desk does make it
a bit less of an achievement, huh?
Which doesn't mean I don't think you're not excellent
at finding things, generally.
It's sort of your job.
Okay, so, I've been using your girl Kate's cell phone data
to pinpoint her movements last night.
I can track her from the airport to the hotel.
Late afternoon, she went somewhere in Queens.
I'm still working on figuring out where.
Then it looks like she returned to the hotel for a few hours.
And then, she moved north
through a tower here, here and here. Looks like
she's driving along the Belt Parkway.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking,
but then her cell phone went offline around midnight.
Poof.
Wow.
Exactly. That was...
That was my poof gesture.
There's a tower here. She either took
the battery out of her cell phone
before she got within a mile of the tower, or she
never got within a mile of it.
All right, so, she could be between
here and here. Exactly.
Nice job, T.
That was my, um...
...nice job gesture.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
You called? Where's Wells?
Um, she's working undercover, so she asked me to see
if I could help. And you are?
The one who hates it when people don't remember her name.
Ooh.
Do you swim, Detective?
Never learned.
The Talmud says, a parent's
most important job is to teach their children to swim.
Literally or figuratively?
I'm a good swimmer.
In a pool, two miles.
Open water, a little over a mile.
Nora Hagan was from a fishing dynasty on City Island,
so, undoubtedly, she could swim.
And according to the autopsy,
she was much more fit than I.
So,
with summer waters and favorable currents,
she never make it to the shore.
How come?
There another Talmud story coming?
(laughs)
The gas chromatography tox results are in.
She did have tropane alkaloids in her system.
The old M.E. who--
not to cast aspersions-- was a moron, indicated scopolamine.
Seasickness meds. Common stuff.
Yeah, that does seem a little strange
for a woman who spends her whole life on the water.
Indeed. So,
I want you to sign this request giving me the opportunity
to run a very different and very expensive test.
I should probably ask the lieutenant.
Or you could swim.
(quiet laugh)
(indistinct radio transmission)
(music playing, indistinct chatter)
Pros and cons, Billy B.?
Yeah, you know, so I can make a decision
about whether to stay with Claire Anne
because honestly, she's breaking my heart, and, look,
lot more cons than pros.
BARTENDER: We did try to warn you, Billy.
Yeah.
Hey, what's up, Clance?
MIKE: Hey,
we've been over every inch of this place.
There's no sign of Kate or her car.
Either Tanya got the data wrong or...
What's that right there?
Is that what I think it is?
Get a crane and some divers.
Hey.
Fancy meeting
you here.
Hey, what's up?
You were right, by the way.
City Island has the best food ever.
Yeah? Yeah.
Um, how's it going with the boat?
Any news?
Oh, uh, actually I spoke with a shop out in Port Washington.
They have the gears we need.
Great. They're gonna send 'em out.
Probably be here tomorrow. Excellent.
Hey, um, can I get you a...?
Oh, thanks, a club soda.
Oh, club soda.
Hitting the hard stuff, right?
AL: You smell that?
Angel Mist.
That's, like, $200 a bottle.
Angel Mist.
Excuse me?
The perfume.
It's, uh-- wow, it kind of suits you.
(laughs)
No, um, it's, uh-- must be a friend of mine's.
A girl friend of yours, I'm assuming.
Uh... it's over.
Ah.
(indistinct chatter)
(indistinct radio transmission)
(phone ringing)
Carrie?
(line ringing)
(phone ringing) Oh, I'm so sorry to interrupt.
It's my dad calling.
Do you mind?
Oh, please take it. Okay, thank you.
Hey, Dad, how's it going?
What's going on?
Listen, Gwen Turning said
that Kate Jordan and Clancy were friends, right?
Yeah. Well, I'm telling you right now,
they were more than friends.
He's got her perfume all over his sweatshirt.
Well, whatever they were, it's over.
She's dead.
What?
Okay, so here's my theory.
Kate Jordan comes into town,
Hagan gets his buddy Clancy to be the bait, he gets her
out of her hotel room, they take a drive,
end of Kate Jordan.
Well, I took another run at Gwen the ex-roommate.
She admitted Kate and Clancy had a pretty heavy affair
before Nora Hagan was murdered.
She said they broke up 'cause Clancy wasn't happy
that Kate was gonna be a witness against Hagan.
Well, of course Gwen never mentioned any of this to Al.
Yeah, well, for what it's worth,
she says she kept quiet 'cause she still thinks
that Clancy's a good guy, that he would never hurt Kate.
He's not a good guy, he's a scumbag.
We got two murdered women.
Clancy Watts is dead center both times.
He was on that boat, he lied to save Hagan's ass,
and now he's killed for him.
What'd you hear from the D.A.'s office about the trial?
Nothing good unless we got something real to tie
Hagan with Kate Jordan's death.
MIKE: Even if the judge lets 'em go forward
with the trial, there's no jury's going
to convict with what we got left.
Doesn't matter.
I want Hagan and Watts for Kate Jordan's murder.
She was brave enough to stand up to him.
We can't let him win.
Al, Kate Jordan's death hasn't broken in the press.
Now, i-if Clancy thinks that we don't know yet,
we might be able to get him in here.
Let's try it.
Hi, David.
Thanks for coming in, Clancy.
FELDMAN: You said you wanted to clarify certain aspects
of Mr. Watts' original statements?
That's right, specifically why Mr. Watts never indicated
that he had a personal relationship
with Kate Jordan.
I don't understand.
Were you romantically involved
with Kate Jordan?
You don't have to answer that.
That's right, you don't,
but unless you want us to bring it up on cross-examination,
in which case it'll become part of the very public record,
might want to deal with it now.
Look, Kate and I have known each other for a long time.
All right, she used to work
her high school summers at the marina.
You two get together back then?
I was too old for her back then.
She wasn't interested in me.
At least not until after you were married, right?
Look, things between Kate and I ended over a year ago.
But she's back in town for the Hagan trial.
Did you see her while she's here?
You know where she's staying?
Yeah, as a matter of fact, I did.
I dropped by her hotel.
What'd you two kids talk about?
FELDMAN: You're straying
pretty far afield here.
Things didn't end great between us.
I had always wanted to say I was sorry, so
I figured it was better to do in person.
Did you see Kate Jordan again after you left her hotel room?
Wait a minute, you guys don't think I had anything
to do with her going missing?
She's not missing, Clancy.
She was murdered.
What?
FELDMAN: Okay, let's go.
She's...
she's dead? No, not another word.
Let's go, Clancy.
I said let's go.
(door opens)
Did you see that? Yeah.
I don't think he knew she was dead. I don't agree.
If he killed her, he was expecting the trap.
No, I'm telling you, Al, he is for real.
What do you think?
It's really tough to tell.
If he's sick enough to kill his old girlfriend like that,
then we're talking about some kind of sociopath.
Guys, I think he's genuine, I do.
We already know he lied for Hagan.
Not necessarily.
I read Clancy's testimony.
Now, he didn't give Hagan a full alibi.
All he said is, he heard Hagan talking
to his wife on the deck.
He could be duped by Hagan, too.
This is one of Hagan's best friends. (phone rings)
You think he's in the clear,
then prove it to me.
Ah, it's the D.A.
I'm sure Feldman walked right out of here
to call the judge to tell him our witness is dead.
Listen to me, if I'm right
and Clancy is in the dark about Hagan,
then he's just now figuring out
that Hagan murdered his old girlfriend.
So Clancy might just give us Mr. Joe Hagan on a platter.
I'm going back.
All right.
Where are you going?
To get your proof.
Due back in court in one hour.
If we don't want the Nora Hagan case to go away,
we'd better come up with something.
Hey.
(clears throat)
What can I do for you?
I just came by
to see how we're doing with the boat.
Uh, we got the part in a couple hours ago,
so we should be able to get it squared away
by, uh,
end of the day tomorrow.
Tomorrow, wow.
Guess I'm headed back to the clam shack.
Yeah, well, that's the best I can do.
Hey, I was just kidding.
It's...
I love clams.
(chuckles)
Yeah.
Um... I know this is
none of my business, but are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
The girl?
The one who smelled so good?
Is that why you...?
You talk to her?
(clears throat)
I tried.
Well, you can always try again.
It's never too late, right?
Yeah, it's definitely too late.
You know, I believe, uh...
that no matter what's happened in the past,
if you do the right thing now,
it can make a big difference.
(Hagan clears throat)
Hey, Clancy.
Who's this?
I'm a customer.
Clancy's helping me out with my boat.
Oh, that doesn't tell me who you are.
What's your name?
Hannah Ashworth.
CLANCY: I'm just fixing
her boat, Joe.
You were sailing?
Yeah, that's what they pay me to do.
They pay you to sail?
In this weather they pay me a lot.
I was actually hoping to get out today
before the wind kicks up, but, uh...
boat's not ready yet,
so...
Well, good luck, there's a storm coming.
You're not going anywhere.
I'll have to figure out something to do.
That shouldn't be too hard.
I can give you a couple of ideas.
I'm sure you can.
CLANCY: I'll, uh,
let you know.
CARRIE: Okay, great.
I'll talk to you soon. Nice to meet you.
(sighs)
HAGAN: You don't answer your phone anymore?
I've been trying to get in touch with you.
CLANCY: Yeah, I know. We got to talk, Joe.
HAGAN: Well, that's why I'm standing here.
CLANCY: No, you know what I mean.
HAGAN: No, I don't know what you mean.
CLANCY: The cops told me about Kate.
HAGAN: Yeah, I heard about that.
I'm sorry, that's a tough one.
Joe, we've known each other for 35 years.
You have got to level with me here.
What do you mean, level with you, Clance?
They're trying to take me down.
You know that that's how they play it!
No, I don't know that, Joe, that's the problem here!
Look, I got to go to the courthouse, right,
but we will talk later, I promise.
Okay, Clance?
I'm going over to work on Billy's boat at 7:00.
You meet me there.
HAGAN: You can count on it.
ROE: All right, I think
I know how Kate Jordan planned to change her testimony.
Tanya dried out the GPS from her rental car.
Tracks back to a lawyer on Gunhill Road
named Ari Lowenstein.
She went to see him the minute she got off the plane.
Apparently she was worried
her new testimony could land her in jail.
What was the testimony?
Ready for this? Hagan had her falsifying accounting documents.
Oh, fantastic.
Yeah, Mr. Beloved was Mr. Crook.
Big man had big money problems.
He was stealing from his employees' pension fund.
That's what Kate was afraid to tell us in her deposition.
She didn't want to get in trouble.
She mention Nora Hagan knowing anything about this?
Yeah, she did.
Apparently the wife knew all about it
and that's why she was threatening to divorce Hagan.
So she wasn't just gonna leave him.
She was going to expose him for stealing.
Best part?
Kate gave Lowenstein copies of the documents to hold.
He gave me a set.
All right, I need you to get 'em
to the courthouse ASAP.
On my way.
Without Kate Jordan's testimony, the prosecution
is unable to make even a prima facie showing
that my client is responsible for his wife's death.
We therefore move
for the dismissal of all charges.
JUDGE: Mr. Adams? Your Honor, Kate Jordan would've provided clear evidence
of motive. The NYPD has uncovered
new evidence which Kate Jordan intended
to introduce; documents providing clear proof of motive.
Do you have these documents?
Not yet, Your Honor.
Have you at least seen these documents?
No, I have not. FELDMAN: So...
we're waiting on documents
no one has seen, allegedly from a witness
we can no longer cross-examine?
They're grasping at straws, Your Honor. Give me a break.
The key witness against this man has just been murdered.
How is it in the State's interest... JUDGE: Mr. Adams,
do you have any proof that the defendant was responsible?
Then in the matter
of The State of New York v. Joe Hagan
we have no choice but to dismiss the charges
against Joseph Hagan.
Jeopardy has been attached.
Mr. Hagan is a free man.
Please inform your client.
Where are we on Kate Jordan? Okay, still waiting
on Webster's blood work; CSU's going over
every inch of the vehicle; also checking patrol car videos,
see if anyone caught the car
on the Belt Parkway the night of the murder.
Sorry about not getting there today, boss.
There was some accident on the Queensboro... That's okay.
Judge was gonna ding us anyway without Jordan.
Get those documents
over to the D.A.
Might get us a warrant to search Hagan's marina.
You okay?
Yeah.
Win some, lose some, right?
What is that? Like "easy come, easy go"?
Not now, Mike. (imitates echoing words): "People say-say-say...
I've had a bad break-break..." What are you, Lou Gehrig?
We worked 18 months to put that creep away.
Right now he's having a double Jameson's
and laughing at us, so yeah,
I feel like crap! You happy?
Al, we're gonna get this guy.
WEBSTER: I think I can help.
I ran some fancy new tests on Nora Hagan's blood work.
My predecessor indicated scopolamine,
put it up to seasickness medications,
but there was something else there.
A highly potent,
semisynthetic opioid.
Which makes for a nasty combination.
Loss of motor control,
blackouts, grand mal seizures.
Nora Hagan drowned because she couldn't move.
MIKE: Well, I don't know if you heard, but, uh,
the Nora Hagan case is kind of over.
Yeah, maybe if you had something on...
Kate Jordan.
I believe I do.
And I'll excuse that shared look of dismay
between the two of you as you're trying to figure out
how to let the old gal and her tired old forensics down easy
as some sort of critical male bonding.
Let me present to you
that your dead witness, Kate Jordan,
had the same drugs in her system.
And... in the same concentrations.
We have found Joe Hagan's murderous cocktail of choice.
Go get him.
Wh-Where did she come from?
(phone rings)
CARRIE: Listen, I heard
about the dismissal.
I'm sorry.
Yeah. Thanks.
Yeah, I finally ran into Hagan.
I can just picture the smug look
on his face when he found out he got off.
Yeah, I got to picture it, too, 'cause he never came to court.
What do you mean?
I heard him telling Clancy he was on his way there.
Nah, never showed. And they weren't waiting
for him, either, far as I could tell.
Wait a second, Al.
What? The only reason Hagan...
would lie to Clancy like that
is if he was planning to do something to him.
So you're still thinking Clancy's in the clear?
No, I know Clancy's in the clear.
He didn't kill Kate.
Hagan did that all by himself.
But Clancy knows that now, right?
So Hagan's gonna go after him.
All right, where is Clancy now? We'll get over there.
That's the thing, I don't know. He said
he was gonna help a guy with his boat, a-a Billy something.
There are a lot of boats
in that marina.
Nina, pull up Hagan's marina.
HAGAN: I got to go to the courthouse now, all right?
I promise I will talk to you later.
I'm going over to look at Billy's boat at 7:00.
Pros and cons, Billy B.?
I'm trying to make a decision
about whether to stay with Claire Anne?
'Cause honestly,
she's breaking my heart.
It's not his girlfriend.
What?
Claire Anne!
I thought it was his girlfriend!
Whose girlfriend?
Billy B.! You lost me.
Can you get to a computer?
Pull up a map of the marina.
Yeah, yeah, we're there, we're there.
Look for a Billy B.,
William B., something with a boat,
a boat called the Claire Anne.
A boat called the Claire Anne.
(keyboard clacking)
AL: We got
a Claire Anne registered to a William Barlow.
Yes! That's got to be it!
Slip 78,
pier 3, south side of the marina.
I love you! I'm on my way!
Carrie, wait for backup.
*
(water flowing)
(Carrie panting)
This is Queens Homicide. I need a 10-85.
I'm at the marina in...
City Island, pier 3, on the Claire Anne.
We're on board.
Put a rush on the bus, okay?
Great.
Stay with me, Clancy.
Apparently, you got here just in time.
And the cold water slowed his heart rate,
kept him alive.
Looks like you were right.
(shivering): So, we should get a statement from him, right?
Soon as he can talk.
Yeah. And a blood test. Odds are the hospital's
gonna find the same mix of drugs in Clancy's system
as Webster found in Nora and Kate's.
You were right about that, too. It's hard being perfect.
And if we start looking around Hagan's place,
what are the chances we find some of those drugs?
I would say about a hundred percent.
(indistinct chatter, laughing)
You sure he's here?
I'm sure.
NYPD!
We're looking for Joseph Hagan.
(chatter quiets)
Yeah, Burns.
You didn't hear the judge?
This is over.
I didn't kill my wife, okay?
You'd think two years,
two years you ruined my life, okay?
I think it's enough. He's a good man.
Why don't you just leave him alone!
Leave him alone?
What about Nora Hagan and Kate Jordan? Hey, hey, hey,
Kate Jordan was a liar.
No. Joe Hagan's the liar.
Kate Jordan found out the truth.
Hagan was raiding the pension funds of his own employees
to pay his gambling debts.
That's not true. It i true.
And Nora Hagan knew it, too.
And for that, Joe Hagan killed them both.
Hey, come on, man, he's our friend.
Clancy Watts was your friend, right?
Joe tried to kill him today.
He's not your friend.
He needs you more than you need him.
And he needs you to look the other way.
But you don't have to.
You can do what Nora and Kate were gonna do.
You can look him in the eye and tell him "no more."
Joseph Hagan, you're under arrest
for the murder of Kate Jordan
and the attempted murder of Clancy Watts.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say or do can and will be used against you
in a court of law.
Wow. Nice speech. Thanks.
Hmm. And thanks for your help.
Anytime.
It was a little Jimmy Stewart.
So Jimmy Stewart. But I think Jimmy Stewart's really sexy.
Shut up and let's get a beer. You're buying. Really?
