Previously on East New York...
I got a transfer out of Drug Enforcement,
and out of undercover work.
That's actually really great news.
Mm. (chuckles)
Tamika? Hey, Marvin?
I guess if we were to try it again,
we'd probably screw it up again, wouldn't we?
Probably.
Not a reason not to give it a try.
It's my shield. I'm gonna give it to Tamika.
Must mean things are going pretty good between you and her.
Mr. Azeroff, I don't think I can accompany you
to Dubai this weekend. I mean, I wish I could.
I mean, God knows I need the money.
$10,000 here. Just like that?
Just like that.
Heard you're having money problems.
My dad went in for his six-month checkup.
His numbers are bad. I'm sorry.
I feel so alone, Tommy.
You're not alone.
It may feel that way, but...
you're not.
* *
* I've been living on your shore *
* Living on your water *
* Living on your waterfalls, babe *
* *
* I've been living on your shore *
* Living on your water *
* Living on your waterfalls *
* Babe. * Ooh, a sound bath.
Wow.
Canyon Ranch? That's back on?
No, that is not back on--
A weekend there runs like $10,000.
I told you I got it covered.
You can't afford it.
Excuse me? How do you know?
'Cause I know how much you make
like how you know how much I make.
You know what?
I don't think I like that you're the grownup
in this relationship.
Oh, feel free to relieve me of the responsibility
any time you want. Hmm...
Touché.
Let me start by not being late to work.
Okay.
I'm gonna see you tonight?
(exhales softly)
I have one change of clothes left,
and it's in your room on your chair.
Well, I'm not giving you a dresser drawer of your own,
if that's what you're hinting at.
Too much commitment, huh? Way too much.
Way too... (chuckles softly)
* *
Mm.
Girl.
Oof. Man, oh, man.
(door closes)
AZEROFF: You hunt? KILLIAN: Uh, no.
I'm supposed to go to Pakistan next month.
Hunt with falcons.
That right?
They go after these birds called bustards.
Let me tell you, when they dive-bomb one of them,
it is not a pretty picture.
(chuckles softly)
AZEROFF: Remember what I told you.
I know.
Hey, sorry, folks,
we got a COVID situation in here.
I'm gonna have to ask you to take the next one.
Okay? (mouthing)
(clears throat)
* *
I hate demonstrating privilege like that.
It's not like you want to inconvenience anyone. Nah.
I mean, what's the alternative, you know?
I got to pack into an elevator
with a bunch of people I don't even know?
Ah, they take the next one. No big thing. Yeah.
CLERK: The People v. Isaac Jones, Your Honor.
This is the third time that Mr. Jones has been arrested
this calendar year.
That right, Mr. Nessen?
Sorry, Your Honor, I haven't had a chance to
familiarize myself with Mr. Jones's record.
I'm set to be in for the assigned public defender
who's out sick.
Uh, may I speak, Your Honor?
Go ahead.
Um... (clears throat)
One of those times I take
complete and total responsibility for.
The other was just
wrong-place wrong-time type situation,
which is no excuse and I deeply regret.
Your Honor,
both of these arrests were brought on by Mr. Jones
being physically abusive to his girlfriend.
As we will hear from Detective Morales,
who made the third arrest, Mr. Jones's girlfriend
required hospitalization.
Accordingly, we ask that bail be set
in the amount of $100,000. That to make a point?
No.
It's to increase the odds he'll show up for his court date.
He has ties in the community, a job...
and I don't believe he represents a flight risk.
And because I don't believe in incarcerating people
based on their bank accounts,
I'm releasing him on his own recognizance.
Move for a protective order for Mr. Jones's girlfriend,
Chantal Leopold.
I'll give you that. Motion granted.
We ain't even together no more, Your Honor.
She go her way, I go mine.
Protective order stands.
(bangs gavel)
(gallery murmuring)
Diane, how do you stand it? How do you stand it?
You're the one that arrests them.
I don't have to listen to somebody argue
they should be let go. Hey, lady prosecutor.
Chantal say she want a protective order? Take a hike, Isaac.
How come you didn't ask for a protective order
for your own damn self?
Is that a threat? I wasn't talking to you.
I don't care if you were talking to me or not.
You threaten an ADA,
I'll lock your ass up right now.
(exhales)
Real charmer, isn't he?
And he's single.
* *
(siren whoops)
(indistinct radio chatter)
(indistinct chatter)
MORALES: Oh, my God.
Diane.
What are we thinking? SANDEFORD: Diane Gould.
Last seen leaving the Brooklyn DA's office
about 8:00 p.m. last night.
Crystal knew her.
I'm sorry.
One of her cases, a guy I collared,
had a court appearance yesterday.
Judge released him
pending trial,
granted a protective order for his ex-girlfriend.
The defendant came right up to the line of threatening Diane
outside the courtroom.
You know where we can find him?
Witnesses?
None so far.
What do we know about her?
MORALES: Tough.
Funny.
I knew her when I was in Street Crime.
Anything about her personal life we can go on?
From what I knew, she didn't have a personal life.
Mostly, she worked.
SUAREZ: ADA Wexler.
Hey, Chief. We're, uh, all very sorry for your loss, Paul.
Thanks for saying that, John. I appreciate it.
I-- You know, as prosecutors, we're used to...
dealing with other people's tragedies,
but this one...
One of ours.
One of ours, as well.
AIDE: Sir?
Thank you. Excuse me.
Yeah. (groans)
We need to get this one solved fast.
* *
ISAAC: So...
what's that mean, huh?
"Person of interest"?
It means your exchange with ADA Gould yesterday
makes it necessary for us to
inquire as to your whereabouts for the past 24 hours.
'Cause a Black man standing up for himself
got to be guilty, right?
'Cause ADA Gould is dead.
I didn't have nothing to do with that.
MORALES: Nobody said you did.
We know you were in court yesterday morning.
Where'd you go after that? I went to work.
Look, I swear to God I didn't have nothing to do with it.
Where you work?
A warehouse. Secaucus, New Jersey.
13516 Aviation Boulevard.
WEXLER: I don't need to tell you all
that the sooner an arrest can be made on this case, the better.
Which is usually the case.
WEXLER: Not like this. This case goes
to the heart of the system. (knock at door)
Yeah? KILLIAN: Uh...
Isaac Jones's alibi checks out.
His boss confirms he was working
in Jersey till 9:00 at night.
ME puts time of death at between 9:30 and 10:00.
We'll need to go through all of Diane's cases,
past and present.
Sarah in my office will give you whatever you need.
We'll also be canvassing
whatever neighborhoods she frequented.
WEXLER: Whatever overtime you need approved,
whatever anything you need,
if you are not getting it, please tell me.
I'll march straight into the PC's office
and make sure that you get it.
The killing of an ADA is a high enough priority,
so I don't think we'll have a problem, but... yeah.
* Three, two, one, oh *
* Yeah, I'm trained to go *
* Yeah, I'm trained to go, ready to work *
* So what you playing for? *
* You all talk and no show *
* I'm always trained to go *
* Trained to go. *
You ever deal with this ADA? Diane Gould?
No, never did.
It's pretty unusual for a prosecutor
to get murdered, isn't it? Well, it happens.
I'd be asking what she was doing
in that particularly desolate area.
She went for a run? Possibly.
Or was she meeting someone? Or did she have a secret life?
A secret life? What kind of secret life?
Kind you keep secret.
See, the detectives'll talk to people who knew her,
maybe people who grew up with her.
They'll go through where she lived,
go through her lockers, if she had any,
check her phone, bills, her credit card statements.
See, that's the thing about getting murdered--
whatever you kept secret is going to get found out.
Truth.
* *
This is what she wore to court.
Suits and heels.
It's hard to think of her
picking all this stuff out and...
now it's just gonna get boxed up and given away.
KILLIAN: Yeah, well, you hate to think
you hate to think it was one of those court appearances
that got her killed.
Is it better to think she caught the eye of
some sick bastard when she went for a run?
KILLIAN: (sighs) I don't know.
Here.
I don't know which is better.
You know, we were the same age.
We both wanted to get into law enforcement.
She went to law school,
and I went to the police academy.
Yeah? You didn't know her from back then? MORALES: No.
But I spent a fair amount of time with her
preparing for her trials.
Yeah.
Any idea of what we're expecting to find in here?
I don't know, Tommy. Uh...
Something from one of her past cases, maybe.
Yeah.
Hey. (whistles)
What are you doing?
QUINLAN: I noticed the bottom of this lamp looks weird.
And I found this.
It's a listening device.
Why would there be a listening device here?
* *
Do you have a theory as to Diane Gould's secret life?
SANDEFORD: I'll leave that to the detectives.
You ever want to be one? No, I never did.
I think you probably would've been good at it.
Everything with detectives
is after the fact.
The crime's been committed.
They come along, try to figure out
who's lying and who's telling the truth.
Now, I like to be in the midst of things
before anyone has had the chance
to figure out what lie they gonna tell.
So it's not the uniform?
I happen to love the way I look in a uniform.
(chuckling): You know. Look here.
It's a good look. (chuckles)
I knew I would catch you here.
How you doing, Andre? I'm good, Tamika. How you doing?
SANDEFORD: Is everything all right?
It was Briermere.
What was Briermere?
The farm stand where we got the pie that time.
I was racking my brain for the name of it.
Sit down and join us.
No, I'm due over at the food pantry.
So you come all the way over here to tell me
the name of the farm stand was Briermere?
That's right.
This woman. (chuckling)
Babe...
("Dibujos De Mi Alma" by Y La Bamba playing)
Baby.
(clears throat softly)
You know, I never asked you how she liked the...
...the miniature shield you got her.
She liked it a lot. She, uh...
She teared up.
She teared up when I gave it to her.
BENTLEY: You got a good one there, Marvin.
I know it. I just...
I just asked her to marry me.
* *
* I'm tired *
* And broken *
* But I was *
* Still hoping... * Taylor...
Yeah. ...find out when they're gonna fix
the leaking pipe under the dish pit,
and tell them the floor there's always soaking wet.
Okay. KILLIAN: Hey.
CORINNE: Hey.
I got to get over to the hospital.
Is everything all right?
My father gets chemo today and I've got to sort
some things out with his insurance.
Called a car, but they said it would be 15 minutes
and then that one canceled,
so now they have to find me another one. Come on, I'll take you.
No, you're working. Come on, I got you here.
Grab your phone.
(knock at door) Captain?
YENKO: Hey, I got something for you on that bug
you found in Diane's apartment.
You familiar with SIM cards?
Subscriber Identification Module cards.
Now, each one has a unique pin
that's used to connect to the Internet.
Now, what's interesting is you can see a whole list of
all the networks that they connect to.
This particular SIM card is connected to a network
that's associated with a phone number
belonging to a certain Michael C. Farris,
who I happen to know is a private investigator.
He used to have an office on Court Street.
He should come pay us a visit.
CORINNE: Hey, Daddy.
CHICK: Hey, baby.
Tommy just wanted to come up and say hi, too.
Oh. Hey, Tom, how you doing?
(scoffs) I'm fine.
How are you doing is the question.
Well, whatever they're putting into me
is for sure taking something out of me.
That much I'll tell you.
Yeah, I bet. (chuckles)
This here's a no-complaining zone,
so I best not be heard to complain.
Just get my tough-luck ticket stamped
at the door. (chuckles)
(chuckles) Yeah.
You know, I sh-- I should, uh, be heading back.
Um, take care, Chick.
Thanks for stopping by, Tommy. Yeah.
* *
MICHAEL: I'm happy to chat with you, Detective,
but on the issue of whether
listening devices were installed by me
or on my behalf...
neither confirm nor deny.
Hey. What'd I miss?
MORALES: Mr. Farris was just explaining to me
that he can neither confirm nor deny
if he installed listening devices
in the home of our murder victim. MICHAEL: Oh.
I have to preserve my clients' confidentiality.
If I'm being somewhat elusive,
I have little choice in the matter.
KILLIAN: Well, you do understand
this is a homicide investigation
of an assistant district attorney.
Okay, look...
I'm not gonna shirk my responsibility here--
I did install the listening devices.
We need to know who hired you to do it.
KILLIAN: And since you're not a lawyer,
there's no lawyer-client privilege.
(chuckling)
My client could've really come forward himself.
Mi client could've figured
I was gonna be hauled in, put on the spot.
He could've stepped up.
But they don't do that.
They expect me to take the heat.
I work for rich people.
I work for powerful people.
Just when you think that they're your friends,
they make it clear as day
that you're still the help.
Good to know.
MICHAEL: Mm.
MORALES: Who's the client, Mr. Farris?
Who hired you to bug that apartment?
I was working for a King's County DA--
Bureau Chief Paul Wexler.
Mr. Wexler even gave me the key.
* *
(knock at door) Yeah?
SANDEFORD: You got a minute, Captain? Come in.
By the way, congratulations are in order. What, you heard?
Yeah, I heard.
And although I don't know Tamika very well,
I applaud you on the big move.
It's a big move. YENKO: Big move.
(chuckling) It's a move I made 37 years ago.
Anyway, what can I do you for?
Tamika wants to have a honeymoon of some sort,
and she wanted me to come find out
how many vacation days I had.
Mm-hmm.
You took a heavy rip this year
when you went chasing after Bentley's shooter.
I did. Mm-hmm.
Time records says I only have
three vacation days on the books.
All right, let me propose this:
You commit to working Saturdays this summer,
I'll front you eight more days. I don't expect you to
go out on a limb for me, Captain. I-I... YENKO: No, no, no.
It's no big deal.
We'll do it on the DL or the QT
or whatever nomenclature sums it up.
But I get my Saturdays covered
and you get to go away with your bride.
Hey, what's the matter?
When I asked her to marry me,
I wanted it more than anything in the world.
Making it official, having people
stand up for me, going on a honeymoon,
at my age...
I'm feeling a little ridiculous.
I feel ridiculous sometimes.
The fact that I'm learning Italian--
at my age--
that I still have a stamp collection,
that next month I'm auditioning for
the Police Marching Band... (chuckling)
...all of these things make me feel ridiculous.
You know what doesn't make me feel ridiculous?
The fact that I love my wife...
...and my wife loves me.
So I'm gonna front you the eight days,
and you let me know whether or not
you want to go on your honeymoon.
I'm hoping you're about to tell me
you made a collar. Unfortunately not.
Do you know a Mike Farris? Of course I know him.
KILLIAN: He said that you hired him
to bug Diane Gould's apartment.
Absolutely right.
That's a felony.
Not if you have a warrant,
and since I had reason to suspect that
Diane had been compromised, I had a warrant.
Compromised how?
Prosecutors have a certain amount of
discretionary authority, Detective,
but whether for money or love,
Diane might've used her authority inappropriately.
You're basing that on what?
WEXLER: A confidential informant who,
unfortunately, will have to remain confidential.
Might we be able to listen to those recordings?
First of all, as with all investigations,
it's on a need-to-know basis.
We qualify as need-to-know, Mr. Wexler.
We're investigating Ms. Gould's murder.
Absolutely. We're in agreement.
Therefore, let me go through the recordings
and as soon as I get them redacted,
I will send them right over to you.
This office will do anything in its power
to help you solve this murder. Believe me.
HAYWOOD: So you have
a woman in your office murdered,
the lead detectives in the case ask
for recordings of the phone conversations,
and you're really gonna worry about redacting?
Why?
Is it 'cause of some other case?
I mean, you'd think, if you're Wexler, there are no other cases
that are more important. KILLIAN: Yeah.
Paul Wexler's a big man in the criminal justice system.
If we move forward with Wexler as our prime suspect,
it's got to be slow and methodical.
One foot in front of the other. No mistakes.
No, you got it, boss.
HAYWOOD: I'm hoping we're not right about this,
but if we are...
we only get one shot at this guy.
So let's make it count.
* *
Hey.
Mr. Azeroff. AZEROFF: Hey, Tommy Terrific.
What's doing? KILLIAN: I was in the neighborhood.
Thought I'd drop in. I got a question for you.
When you're getting fitted for a suit,
do they have to make a special accommodation
for your, for your gun?
Oh, I don't know.
I've never been fitted for a suit.
Wow. Let's let one of the benefits of you working for me
the chance to correct that injustice.
Sal'll take your measurements when he's done with me.
Yeah, yeah, speaking of benefits, you know,
one of your drivers said you got a great health plan.
Yeah. That's what my accountant tells me. KILLIAN: Yeah.
Eh, you know, my girl's dad... he's been paying his premiums
for I don't know how many years.
Gets sick-- now, all of a sudden,
they're real particular about
what treatments they'll pay for,
what treatments they won't, you know.
Bobby, what do you think?
Uh, ho-ho.
Heart-stoppingly beautiful.
What does he think?
It's, um...
It's real nice. (clucks tongue)
What's his name?
Um, whose name?
Your girl's father. What's his name?
Oh, um, it's Chick Moynahan.
Well, leave it with Petra on your way outside.
Oh, hey...
Hey, did you have a chance to talk to
that FBI friend of yours for Darla?
Yeah, I ju-- I just got to give him a call.
Give him a call.
Yeah.
(chuckles softly)
So, what's your story? MAN: Hey, Farris.
I don't have a story.
The boss sends just you out to pick me up?
What is this, one riot one ranger?
They told me you were a law-abiding citizen, Mr. Farris.
I didn't think there was gonna be a problem.
And a problem there was not.
Come in, Mr. Farris.
You can have a seat.
HAYWOOD: Thanks.
Yesterday, there were just a couple of squad detectives
tending to my every need.
Today, I get a deputy inspector and a two-star chief.
Sometimes nothing conveys importance
quite like collar brass.
I didn't realize I was that important.
We need to hear what's on the recordings you made
in Diane Gould's apartment.
I told your detectives I turned them over to Wexler.
And kept a copy for yourself.
You're wrong, okay? I don't do that.
Well, if so, you'd be
the first private detective in history who doesn't.
Guys, I don't know what to tell you.
Get the recordings off Wexler, why don't you?
Well, for some reason,
Mr. Wexler is choosing not to provide them.
HAYWOOD: And if you don't provide us with them,
we're gonna head over to the U.S. Attorney
for the Eastern District's office,
and we're going to make what I know will be
a compelling case to obtain a search warrant,
a search warrant that will specify
every square inch of your office,
residence, vehicles and any other property
you have direct access to,
searched with a fine-tooth comb.
That's insane.
No judge would issue such a broad warrant.
SUAREZ: Prosecutors don't get killed every day, Mr. Farris,
and so the Feds' approach will be a little bit more
flexible to Fourth Amendment considerations.
HAYWOOD: Since the search of your premises will be exhaustive,
you can expect that the confidentiality
of all of your clients
will be compromised, leading you to consider...
...a different line of work.
DIANE (recording): Sarah...
Wexler is trading reduced sentences for sex.
Why won't you let this go, Diane?
We've worked with him for years.
You know he's not capable of that.
DIANE: You refuse to even consider that it might be true.
SARAH: Okay. Are any of these women willing to testify?
DIANE: I'm working on it.
SARAH: When you find one who'll testify-- under oath--
that Paul Wexler traded reduced sentences for sex,
you let me know.
Until then, as far as I'm concerned, it never happened.
(recording clicks off)
It's rape.
If Diane told him what she suspected
or what these women told her,
he'd have all the motive he needed to kill her.
Yeah, but these recordings are from a week ago.
Diane said nothing about going to Wexler.
Maybe she isn't the one who went to him.
I think you should go see Sarah McKay.
So, what did these recordings tell you?
One thing they told us was that
Diane was warning you about Wexler.
I think that says more about Diane than it does about Paul.
What does it say?
Diane was a good person,
but she could be erratic.
MORALES: Uh-huh. Like when she told you
she believed Wexler was trading sex for lenient treatment?
Yes, for one. Uh, she was obsessed with that.
She told you she'd spoken to one of the women?
A drug addict who wouldn't go on the record.
Yeah, she told me.
What about the others?
I don't know of any others.
But you know about Wexler.
(inhales)
Yeah, I do know about Wexler,
because...
...we've been in a relationship for almost two years.
His marriage is basically over.
He's just waiting till their daughter finishes high school.
KILLIAN: And there was no
indication that he had this
quid pro quo going with criminal defendants?
No.
Look, I've made mistakes,
but I wouldn't be planning to spend
the rest of my life with someone capable of doing the things
you're suggesting he did.
I told that to Diane, repeatedly,
but for whatever reason,
she kept on in this delusion.
Any idea why she wouldn't let it go?
I got the feeling something had happened in her past.
MORALES: One more question, Sarah.
Did you ever tell Wexler about Diane's accusations?
I did.
A week ago.
He thought it was absurd,
but he also was
somewhat concerned about her.
I think he made a plan for them to talk, next week sometime.
And then this.
I...
I really hope you find who's responsible.
Mm-hmm.
(siren wailing)
You know, the offer stands if you still want to use
my parent's place in St. Croix. Yeah?
When am I gonna do that? (chuckles)
When you go on your honeymoon.
You know,
it's possible that honeymoons are a bad idea.
Really? As a general rule?
No, I mean, people take them right after they get married,
which usually means
they haven't been together very long.
And then they put the added stress on themselves
of airports, and
luggage, and hotels,
and how much to tip the bellhop.
My parent's place is a condo. There is no bellhop.
I am just saying that traveling has
a higher degree of difficulty
than staying at home.
That's all I'm saying.
So stay home.
Stay home?
What you mean? And not get married?
No, no, no, no. Sandeford.
You still get married.
Of course you're getting married.
You just...
don't take a honeymoon.
You have answers for everything,
don't you?
Don't you? I mean, I guess.
Well, answer this, you paying for dinner?
* *
(knock at door)
HAYWOOD: What's up? Hey.
We went back over Diane's old case files.
This time, not looking for defendants with an axe to grind.
Just women whom Wexler had reduced charges
or sentencing recommendations.
I presume a number of those are legitimate.
Some are, but we found five cases that don't make sense.
B and C felonies reduced to misdemeanors.
Serious jail time cut to time served.
Each of those, the defendant was a woman of
limited means between 20 and 25.
No guys got that deal. Damn him.
None of the five women are at their original addresses.
Diane found one. So can we.
Meanwhile, let's put a little scare
in our highly esteemed District Attorney.
How's it going?
Thank you so much for coming.
Did you get something to eat?
(indistinct chatter) Excuse me, Mr. Wexler.
We talk to you for a minute?
Can it wait?
Actually, it can't.
(conversing indistinctly)
I'll be right back.
It's just a little business thing.
(Killian clears throat)
This better be good.
We'd like you to come
to the station house tomorrow, Mr. Wexler.
Why is that? Just to go over your whereabouts Tuesday night.
And why is that?
We have an idea
of what Diane might've been threatening you with.
Who said she was threatening me with anything? MORALES: Mm.
We think that she was threatening with one
or more rape prosecutions.
(chuckles) You're deranged.
We've been through Diane's files, Mr. Wexler.
Not the ones she kept at the office--
the ones she kept in her bedroom at home.
Uh-huh. We've read the notations
she made regarding the women with whom
she thought that you traded leniency for sex.
MORALES: Not that rape would've been the easiest case to make,
but with Diane out of the picture,
you would've had that much less to worry about.
Why are you telling me this?
You wanted to be kept up-to-date on the investigation.
That's what we're doing.
Really? Mm-hmm.
Well, you haven't been all that cooperative, Mr. Wexler.
It does raise suspicion.
You have what you need to make an arrest, Detectives?
Hmm?
No, sir.
I'm gonna go back to enjoying my evening
with my wife and my friends.
Now, unless you have an appropriate change of attire,
and $1,500 per person,
I suggest that you go back to your squad room
in East New York and search for the perp
instead of making fools of yourselves here.
Good night.
* *
Rude.
* *
Thank you for taking the time to talk to us, Ms. Drew.
We were able to locate you
through the Department of Correctional Services.
I can only be down here for a few minutes.
Understandable. You don't want to talk to us
in front of the woman you work for.
Miss Dorothy's probably calling for me already.
We asked Cissy if what
Diane Gould accused Wexler of was true.
Is it?
I was in a bad spot. He took advantage of it.
What does that mean?
It means we had sex.
It means he raped you. I let him.
HAYWOOD: Mm. MORALES: You'd been convicted
of fraud and embezzlement,
were facing a prison sentence
of three to five years,
and based on a recommendation from Mr. Wexler,
the judge sentenced you to time served.
I would have had my kids taken from me and put in foster care.
By holding his recommendation over your head,
Wexler raped you just as surely as if he'd been holding a gun.
I ain't saying I didn't do what they convicted me of.
It doesn't matter. If I hadn't stolen that money,
I wouldn't have been in that spot. Cissy,
it doesn't matter. Hey, look, we think Paul Wexler had something to do
with the murder of a woman
who threatened to expose what he did to you,
and, in all likelihood, other women, as well.
We're hoping you'll come forward and testify against him.
So he can have something to do with my murder?
KILLIAN: If he gets convicted
of rape and murder,
he's never gonna see the light of day again, all right?
He will die in prison.
No, I seen his big office.
I've seen how many people he boss around.
Ain't nothing against y'all, but I don't think
you're gonna convict him of anything.
We can protect you, Cissy. No, ma'am.
You can't.
(knocking) SUAREZ: Come in.
Wexler's gone to the PC
about your detectives showing up last night.
Is this really a conversation that we should be having
in front of the deputy mayor? SHARPE: You think
I'm unaware of these things, Inspector?
I'm sure you work hard
to stay current on police issues.
It's my responsibility to protect
the integrity of whatever criminal investigations
I'm overseeing.
Well, maybe that's the problem right there.
Maybe you shouldn't be overseeing them. Whoa.
That's up to Chief Suarez to determine.
I'd say, at the very minimum,
your detectives behaved inappropriately.
I take full responsibility for how my detectives behaved.
As well you might! Is the problem
that Wexler was questioned in a public place,
or that he was questioned at all?
Let's not dance around this.
He wasn't just questioned. SUAREZ: Okay.
He was accused of rape.
Shall I quote to you the statutory definition of rape?
I didn't come here for a refresher course
in Criminal Law, Deputy Inspector.
One might be in order. All right, that's enough!
If there's probable cause for an arrest,
then we need to get the attorney general involved.
Regardless of that, your detectives need to refrain
from a campaign of character assassination
and public humiliation.
Yes, sir. Deputy Mayor Sharpe will
respect the boundaries between the police department
and City Hall and whatever conclusions are supported
by the weight of evidence.
Make sure she does the same.
(footsteps approaching)
Mr. Moynahan?
Hmm? Yes?
I'm Dr. Patel.
A personal friend of Tom Killian's
has asked me to take a look at your father's case.
There's a new protocol I'd like to discuss with you.
Would you both come with me, please?
Of course. Me?
Yeah, we're gonna go with the doctor, Dad. Okay.
Thank you. Oh.
You good? Yeah, yeah.
Okay. Okay.
(knocking)
(door opens)
Inspector Haywood? I am.
I'm Sarah McKay. I got a message you needed to see me?
Come in, Ms. McKay.
My condolences on the loss of your colleague,
Diane Gould.
Friend. Thank you.
Over the course of the investigation
of Diane's murder, some information
about Mr. Wexler has emerged
that I think you should know about.
Well, I'm not sure I know why I would need to know about it.
You told my detectives
you're in a relationship with Mr. Wexler.
I would think you would want to know about them.
Well, I don't.
Did you know a woman named Cissy Drew?
No. Your office
prosecuted her for embezzlement.
King's County prosecutes a lot of people
for a lot of things.
She told us that Mr. Wexler
recommended time served
in return for sex.
And you believe that?
I believe it.
More importantly,
Diane Gould believed it, which is what got her killed.
(laughs)
I don't know why people are drawn to these wild stories.
(laughs airily)
Is it because they like to bring other people down?
You know, feed on other people's misfortune?
It might be because they think they are true.
I'm due in court.
Excuse me. (sniffles)
* Whoo-ooh, hoo, ooh... *
You all right? Yeah, I'm all right.
This place looks busy.
Yeah, it definitely picking up.
Well, it's doing its thing, you know?
Yeah.
Thank you for doing what you did for my father.
There's no way the insurance companies
would have covered the treatments
that Dr. Patel is giving him.
Oh, I hope it makes a difference.
It makes a difference that he feels like
he's getting taken care of.
Good. Good, good, good.
And I feel the same way.
* Every little, little thing *
* Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh *
* We don't have to talk about it... *
SANDEFORD: Oh.
TAMIKA: Hey. SANDEFORD: Hey.
Hi. Hey, Tamika.
I'm going up to the bar. Would you care for something?
Uh, yes, Sancerre, please.
You got it. Thanks. Thanks.
Huh. Andre's folks
have a condo in St. Croix,
and he says we can stay there.
It's beautiful. Have you been there?
No, but Andre's shown me pictures before.
TAMIKA: Ah.
When were you thinking
we'd go there, Marvin?
Thinking we'd go there for our honeymoon.
That mean you still want to get married?
I've caused you to doubt it, haven't I?
Only because you hadn't mentioned it
for a couple of days.
Oh, he mentioned it to me.
Did he?
All those hours walking a foot post, you talk a lot.
Sometimes, you say what you're thinking.
Sometimes, you don't say what you're thinking,
but your partner... your partner knows anyway.
Tamika?
When I got shot,
I saw how much love
this guy had in his heart for me.
Oh, man. Hey, I'm serious.
And from listening to him,
I know how much love he has in his heart for you.
If I didn't mention it, maybe it was because
there was a part of me that didn't want anything to change,
because in my mind, everything was perfect,
and I didn't want to risk disappointing you,
or disagreeing with you. I didn't want to risk anything.
I didn't even want to breathe on it.
Oh.
You know it means something to me to be married, though, right?
Yes, I do.
If it means something to you, it means something to me.
I love you, Marvin.
And I love you.
YENKO: Now, in case you were wondering, I happen
to be fully-credentialed
by the State of New York as a marital officiant.
(laughs)
Shall we?
What? Right here, now?
Y-Yeah.
Right-right here, right now.
Yes.
(laughter)
For God's sake, then, marry us.
(laughter) All right, Bentley,
you at least 18 years of age?
I am. All right, stand up.
You're the witness. Go over there.
You-- bridesmaid. Flank 'em. Got it.
Here you are, young lady.
There you go. Hey. Hey. Thank you.
Everybody. There's a wedding going on.
OFFICER: Oh, good.
(laughs) (exhales)
Do you, Marvin Lucian Sandeford,
take this woman to be your lawfully-wedded wife?
To love, to cherish, to have and to hold,
in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer,
as long as you both shall live?
I do.
And do you, Tamika Martin,
take this man to be your lawfully-wedded husband?
Yeah. (laughs)
(applause and cheering)
Congratulations.
We did it! (laughing)

KILLIAN: Wexler's body's over here, boss.
(siren wails)
HAYWOOD: Where is she?
MORALES: Over there.
HAYWOOD: We recover a weapon?
Dropped right next to the body.
HAYWOOD: Let's go.
* When does it end *
* And begin *
* When does it rise *
* Again... *
How'd it happen, Sarah?
I pressed him
about the women he was supposed to have taken advantage of.
I pressed him about...
the circumstances of Diane's death.
He became enraged
that I wouldn't take his answers at face value,
that I kept pressing him.
I did what I'd learned to do as a prosecutor.
Who suggested you meet here? I did.
I thought he wouldn't get violent
if we met in a public place
where there were cameras.
I was wrong about that.
What'd he do?
He put his hands around my neck,
and he started to choke me, and I wasn't going
to let him do to me what he did to Diane.
So I shot him.
* Rise again... *
Was it self-defense, Sarah?
I think it would qualify as self-defense, yes.
You understand we're going to have to arrest you now?
I do understand.
I'm familiar with the process.
* Rise... *
She says it was self-defense. You buy it?
A good prosecutor could probably punch holes in it.
But would they want to?
Would they just want to let it go?
* And begin * * And begin *
* When does it rise *
* Again? *
