[Gunshots]

[Siren blaring]

[Sobbing] What're we gonna do?

- Annabeth.
- What's going on?

- Jason's dead.
- Oh, my god.

He was shot on duty,
that's all we know.

Is there anything
I can do, Sarah?

Cindy's asked us
to pray with her.

Okay.

[Sobbing] Oh, what's
going to happen?

[Cell phone ringing]

Hi, Jimmy. I'm here right now.

Jason Myers is my neighbor.
I'm friends with his wife.

The suspect is a drug dealer
named Edward Wallace.

- 'What do we know about him?'
- Wallace is Myers' informant.

- He was ambushed.
- Is Wallace in custody?

'He's holed up in his house.'

detective Logan's request for
an arrest warrant was denied.

I need you to change
the judge's mind.

Okay, I'm on my way.

Why couldn't I get the
warrant? Three words, pal.

Judge Abraham schlicter.

The clown loves
criminals, simple as that.

Did you tell him Wallace
was suspected of killing a cop?

Of course, I did. Got a lecture
on the presumption of innocence.

Prosecutor's on the
way to court now.

Tell me what happened,
so she can get your warrant.

Myers told his unit he was
meeting Wallace at midnight.

Residents heard
gunshots at 12:07.

Myers told his unit he
was meeting Wallace

behind the sorano bros
warehouse. Where was he killed?

Behind the sorano
bros warehouse.

Those the guys from Myers' unit?

Narcotics task force, yeah.

You get affidavits from them?

I swore out the warrant
on my own affidavit.

With anyone but schlicter,
that would have been enough.

Annabeth. Okay, here's the deal.

'I'm gonna get affidavits
from Myers' partners'

'and fax them to you
at the courthouse.'

those police affidavits don't
change my opinion, Ms. Chase.

I was a defense attorney.

I know how the rules
change when a cop's killed.

- You think they're unreliable?
- I think they're emotional.

Their partner was just killed.

What about the 380 casings
recovered at the scene?

Wallace used the same type
of weapon in two prior crimes.

Come back when ballistics
proves it's the same in this crime.

Ballistics aren't needed for
probable cause, your honor.

They are with me
under the circumstances.

Officer Myers' partners
aren't leaving Wallace's house

until he's arrested.

They could build a campfire
and sing "Kumbaya."

Their affidavits don't
change my decision.

You're forcing me
to call judge Jenkins.

That's judge
shopping. It's unethical.

My boss won't let me
leave without the warrant.

Since Jenkins is your boss,
why don't we let him figure it out?

I didn't do nothin'!

You're gonna burn for this!

I didn't do nothin'!

Yeah. I ain't no cop killer.

- You know him?
- Brian Flynn.

Myers' partner.

Alright, ten minutes.
Let them know you care.

- I do care, Pete.
- Of course, you do.

Mrs. Myers. James conlon.

I'm very sorry for
your loss, ma'am.

Thank you.

Mr. Conlon, Chris veeder.

I was Jason's
colleague and friend.

- My wife, Samantha.
- Mr. Conlon.

We all loved Jason Myers
so much. We're heartbroken.

I can assure you all my
office will do everything

it can to convict his killer.

We are supporting you in
your upcoming campaign.

- We?
- The police and their families.

Well, thank you.

- We need to talk.
- After the briefing.

(Samantha) 'I look forward to
seeing you at the fundraiser.'

- me, too.
- It's about the briefing.

Is there a problem?

It's not something this
crowd is gonna wanna hear.

What is it?

Crime techs found this note

in Myers' car this morning.

Kellie with an i-e.

Well, like a girl's
name, not a last name.

- $300, sorano bros warehouse.
- Where he was shot.

- You think he was meeting her?
- I think it's a possibility.

The $300 he withdrew from
an atm just before midnight

on the way to the meet
might suggest why.

- What are you suggesting?
- A prostitute.

- It's a thought.
- The money is missing.

Aside from money anything
else to suggest this was illicit?

Myers told his partner he
was meetin' an informant.

He told his wife he was
meetin' his partner, Brian Flynn.

'This complicates the case.'

this complicates everything.

Column a, Myers is a hero
killed by a dirtbag drug dealer.

We're heroes for
convicting the turd who did it

column b, the kellie question.

Did she meet him? If so, why?

Why did he lie to his
wife and partners about it?

Was she his
girlfriend, a prostitute

an informant, the killer?

Until we answer these questions

we can't prosecute
Wallace for the crime

go ahead. Tell her
what you told me.

She already did me once.

You remember, don't you?

- How'd that work out for you?
- I didn't kill Myers.

Where were you last night?

Playing Nintendo with my cousin.

Cousin's name is Darren
Smith. Here's his affidavit.

He's available for a
deposition at your convenience.

Why were the
bullets in your house?

They weren't mine.

Jury's not gonna believe that

and when ballistics matches them

to the casings from
the scene, you're done

(Greg) 'Myers' partners
were in the house.'

they could've easily
put the bullets there.

Is that your defense?
He was framed?

Those cops decided
Mr. Wallace was guilty

and then found
a way to prove it.

- He had no reason to kill.
- He did.

Myers forced Wallace to
choose between years in jail

on the drug charge and
informing on a kingpin.

He was desperate
not to do either.

It's a good story.

I understand why they want
to believe it, but it's not true.

'You have no eyewitnesses,
no murder weapon'

and no way to
counter a credible alibi.

Nintendo with
cousin Darren, please.

Okay, look, you're making
a mistake, Maureen.

I mean, we both know this is
about conlon running for office.

But catch and
convict a cop killer?

I mean, that's something
to campaign on.

Putting conlon or the cops
on trial isn't gonna work.

If you want a deal, find
a better story than that.

Detective Flynn, ed Williams.

Uh, we met at the scene.

Correct.

I knew Jason Myers.
He was a good guy

best partner I ever
had. Or ever will.

- I was on my way out, so...
- No problem, no problem.

You mind if I take a look
at Myers' file on Wallace?

You wouldn't believe the
hell we get for sharing files.

Request them from the drug
prosecutors in your office.

I'll do that.

Just one question

was it unusual for Myers

to have a one-on-one
meeting with Wallace?

Not really.

I'm just wondering
why you weren't there.

The way we handle our
informants is pretty complicated.

I'd be happy to walk you
through it when I have time.

- You ed?
- Yeah

ed Williams,
prosecutor's office?

Chris veeder. Nice to
meet you. Come on in.

'You read the Bible?'

yeah, occasionally.

'I had one with pictures
when I was a kid.'

your guys don't much
wanna talk to me.

Sorry about that.

You know how it can
get, cops and prosecutors?

How can we help?

I'm just tryin' to make
sense of this note we found.

Do you know who
this kellie might be?

How's she pertinent?

The note makes it look
like Myers met her that night.

That'd mean he lied to us
about what he was doing.

That's pretty hard to
imagine if you knew the man.

I did, and I agree with you.

But we still have to
consider the possibility

she's a prostitute.

Myers and a hooker?
That's even harder to imagine.

Besides it'd be stupid to lie
about meeting an informant.

All my guys log every
meeting. I see the logs daily.

Myers was new
to the unit. Maybe...

Six months. That's long
enough to learn the system.

Look, I understand
you need to knock down

the prostitute
theory before the trial

but... there's nothing to it.

He went there to meet Wallace.

All my guys will
testify to that.

Wallace's attorney is
saying your unit planted

the 380 ammo in Wallace's house

to frame him for Myers' murder.

Of course, he is.

The place was crawling with
police, reporters, you guys.

It would've been impossible if
we'd wanted to which we didn't.

There's no need to frame
the guy 'cause he's guilty.

I'm sorry, it's just that Jason
was a great guy, a great cop.

His widow is like
a sister to me.

I'd hate to see his reputation
dragged through the mud

by some... Lawyer

well, the sooner
I find this kellie

the sooner I can put
the rumors to rest.

I just put Amanda to bed,
so it was around 8 o'clock.

'Jason just got a phone call.'

said it was Flynn, that
they needed to do something

for work later that night.

Did you ask what?

Jason's job had him
coming and going at all hours.

I was used to it.

How has your relationship been?

Why ask about that?

Because Wallace's lawyer
will. Jason lied to you that night.

Wallace's lawyer
will find out about that

and about the note we found.

- Why make me doubt him?
- That's not what I'm doing.

Then, don't ask these questions.

You know what terrified
me when my husband died?

Cleaning out his closet.

I thought I'd find something
that would make me jealous

make me think he wasn't
the man I thought he was.

And I did.

An invoice from a lumber store.

The girl who wrote
it put a big heart

beside her name, Caroline.

What did you do?

Haley and I went shopping
for some bookshelves.

- And?
- And Caroline was beautiful.

I felt sick.

I went ahead and
bought the shelves.

And she rang them up
and wrote out an invoice..

And signed it with a heart?

That's just how she
signed her invoices.

Jason was irritable last week.

- He wasn't himself.
- Did he say why?

I didn't ask.

I thought it was his job, that
he'd tell me when he was ready.

Cindy.

We were happy, annabeth.
He wasn't cheating on me.

I would know that.

- I'm gonna go check on Amanda.
- Okay.

She needs a break.

You need to leave.

- I'm sorry, who are you?
- A friend of Jason's.

- I'll walk you out.
- No, I'm fine, thanks

I couldn't say
anything to you inside.

What are you talking about?

Keep looking pissed
off while we talk.

- That shouldn't be a problem.
- I'm Matt ewing.

- I'm a homicide detective.
- Go on.

I have my doubts this
Wallace punk was the shooter.

- Why?
- Jason and I were close.

I'm godfather to his kid.

He told me he wanted
out of veeder's unit.

Okay. So?

He spent three years
trying to get into it.

Something must've happened
to make him wanna leave.

But you don't know what.

He'd just gotten back from
a trip with veeder and others.

Maybe something
made him see the light.

- You don't like veeder?
- I think his unit's corrupt.

I know Jason wasn't.

- How do you know it's corrupt?
- I have my suspicions.

- Corrupt how?
- Steal and deal.

They're drug cops.
Use your imagination

- is that what you're doing?
- Maybe.

Since I'm risking my
career talking to you

it might be worth looking into.

You can investigate
this. I can't.

I'm gonna walk away now.

Bass hill lodge,
that's where they went.

You did a great job
looking pissed off.

It wasn't that hard.

Yeah, I remember the face.

He's a cop.

Until he was
murdered two days ago.

Oh, that's too bad.

Do you remember
the group he was with?

Yeah.

- Great white Turkey hunters.
- What does that mean?

Two days of huntin'
and no feathers.

Anything happen between this
man and the people he was with?

- Like what?
- An argument?

He did fight with one of
them. Did it get physical?

- Fistfight?
- No, just cussin'.

Loud though. Had
to ask them to can it.

- What was it about?
- The girl they were with.

What do you mean
they were with a girl?

- Well, she had her own room.
- Was she a prostitute?

Uh, more like a
party girl, you know

uh, young, pretty, blonde.

You got her name?

Kellie. Didn't get the last name

but, uh, I got a picture of her

if that'll help you.

I-I bought that for
the birds, but, uh..

It's not often we get
girls like that up here.

Meet kellie Lawson.
They lied to us.

Veeder and Myers argued
about her on the hunting trip.

- 'What hunting trip?'
- 'Bass hill lodge.'

something annabeth
asked me to check out.

Police found an eyewitness.

She says she saw Wallace
shoot detective Myers.

Really? How'd they find her?

They said veeder's
unit used street contacts.

That's convenient.

- What's the problem?
- Depose her.

See how credible
she seems to you.

The guy was just
sitting in his car.

- This boy Wallace comes up...
- The victim was in the car?

- Like I said to the detective.
- 'It's here in her statement.'

so you were on the east
side of the warehouse?

I don't know sides by east-west.

You saw the rear of
the car, that'd be east.

- You sure that's what I said?
- It's right here.

That's right I
remember that now.

The back of the car. Taillights.

Detective Logan lost
the picture you ID'ed.

Would you ID the young
man you saw again, please?

I'm tryin' to help. Seems like
you're tryin' to mess me up.

Just identify the
man that you saw.

If you're sure, just
circle and sign it.

She didn't see Wallace shoot
Myers. We tripped her up.

Veeder and his
guys put her up to it.

- Why?
- They lied to us about kellie.

They hid the fight at the motel.

Cindy Myers told me her
husband wanted out of veeder's unit

Mrs. Myers told you that?

She knew he was unhappy.

So you think they're
framing Wallace

because they killed Myers?

They're narcotics detectives.
Maybe they're corrupt.

Maybe Myers
threatened to expose that.

Do you have evidence
to support this theory?

Uh... no.

If we subpoenaed
internal affairs records

maybe we could find something.

That would make the
focus of this investigation

of veeder's unit and further
weaken our case against Wallace.

Look, I'm not going
on a fishing expedition

against the police force
based on speculation.

You need to
find this girl kellie.

The clock's running
out on Wallace.

We either need to
charge him or release him.

Myers arrested Wallace
for drug possession.

Did he ever charge him?

No, he pocketed the charge to
press him for more information.

- File a possession charge.
- You're rooting for Wallace.

- Aren't you?
- Look at his record.

Prosecuting Wallace would
be better for you politically

than accusing these cops
of framing him or worse.

You're absolutely right.

As a prosecutor,
not a politician

I hope the cops didn't
do it, and Wallace did.

So we'll hold him on the
drug charge until we're certain.

Middle ground, mo. We don't
bring a case that isn't ready.

And we don't let a
suspected cop killer walk.

Flynn.

- Who is she?
- I can't talk to you.

We know veeder and Myers
fought about her at the motel.

That Myers wanted to leave.

My union rep is Tony white.

He was your friend,
Flynn. Your partner.

Doesn't that mean
anything to you?

Come on, just... Tell me
what the hell is goin' on?

Don't pursue this. You're just
gonna make Myers look bad.

And piss a whole lot of
people off. Wallace killed him.

Just do your job, Williams.

- Thanks for meeting me.
- Don't call me again at work.

Matt, we're spinning our wheels.

I need something to
push this case forward.

Alright, what did you find out?

We looked into the hunting trip.

Veeder and Myers had a
fight apparently about a girl.

That's it? They
fought about a girl?

The same girl he may have
met the night he was killed.

What about looking
into veeder's unit?

My boss won't subpoena
internal affairs records.

Because he's runnin' for office.

Because if we
investigated the unit

and they didn't make
a corruptions case

he'll not try to
make one himself.

That could change
once we find this girl.

You asked me to look into
this. Tell me what you know.

You know what I know.

Right now all we
have is this girl.

We've been checking
prostitution arrests

'missing persons reports'

'youth shelters all over town.'

I'm sorry, I don't
recognize her.

I'm serious. Don't
call me at work.

(Female #1) 'That's kellie Lawson.
She doesn't live here anymore.'

- 'where does she live now?'
- 'I don't know.'

up and left last
week in a big rush.

Is she in trouble?

We just need to talk to her.

Did you know she was
involved with older men?

Okay, kids, time to hit the
hoops. That means you.

So did you know she was
involved with older men?

You mean romantically?

Well, I don't know how
romantic it was, but, uh, yeah.

That surprises me. She
was one of our successes.

Came here at 14, was on
her way to college this fall.

That's why I'm so
concerned about her.

It wasn't like her to just
leave like that without a word.

Were you concerned
enough to call the police?

I didn't have to call them.

I told our director and
she told her husband.

- Your director?
- Samantha veeder.

Her husband's a
detective. You know him?

[Knock on door]

- How you doing, miss chase?
- Mr. Durkin.

I wanna subpoena the
greenwood youth shelter.

It's where kellie Lawson was
staying until she disappeared.

I pulled their
nonprofit filing papers.

The wives of three cops in
veeder's unit work at greenwood.

Mrs. Veeder's the
executive director.

Why is that so obviously wrong?

These ladies
aren't serving soup.

They're executives making
very, very good salaries.

- How much?
- I don't know.

- Without their tax return...
- Which we'll never get.

Veeder's unit may be using
the shelter to launder money.

- This is a hunch.
- It's worth looking into.

Thanks, Nancy drew, but
we're gonna need more than that.

You target cops, they target us.

- Meaning you, your campaign.
- She's right, you know

wouldn't be good for the
campaign. Lot at stake here.

- It's not about the campaign.
- I need those subpoenas.

You'll get subpoenas when I
get something more than hunches.

I will e-mail you about
those poll numbers, okay?

- What's wrong?
- I can't find my keys.

I looked everywhere. Gotta
get home to the babysitter.

- I'll give you a ride home.
- Really?

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

Thanks, Maureen.

See you tomorrow.

[Dramatic music]

Patricia?

(Patricia) 'We're
in the kitchen.'

(Annabeth) 'Oh.'

hi, Haley. Oh.

The front door was open.

- That's weird -
did you lock it?

- I thought I did.
- Where were you?

Giving Haley a bath.

Oh, honey.

Oh.

(Patricia) 'What's wrong?'

- 'how did those get there?'
- 'What?'

my keys.

- 'I don't know.'
- Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

Veeder's unit's
sending you a message.

Cocky bastards.

I feel silly calling you.

- I just, I don't...
- This is serious.

I need to know how serious.

Are they just toying or
are we in real danger?

Veeder know you're
investigating him?

He does. We asked Flynn
why he lied about the girl.

He must have told veeder.

If they killed Jason,
they'll kill you.

Oh, my god.

Will your office
provide protection?

Someone for your daughter?
An escort for you to work?

Of course.

They still give
prosecutors guns?

Yeah. They don't teach
us how to use them.

Learn.

Maybe.

- Thanks for comin' over.
- Ah, it's nothin'.

No, it's late.

I don't live far.

- I wanna tell my boss.
- No.

It's the only way to get him
to investigate veeder's unit.

No!

It'd mean something
that you're a cop.

I'm talking to you.
I like talking to you.

'I'm not going
further than that.'

I like being a cop too much
to commit career suicide.

Okay, I understand.

I'm sorry.

I'll stay tonight if it
would make you feel safe.

- Oh, um..
- On the couch, of course.

On the couch.

Yeah.

I'll get you some blankets.

Some watchdog.

- Sleep well?
- Yeah.

Thanks.

Uh, my nanny comes
in 20 minutes, so..

I'll sneak out the back.

Thanks.

What can I do for you, Greg?

Somebody put Wallace
in the infirmary last night.

They broke his
nose and two ribs.

- Who?
- He won't say.

Look, holding Wallace on
this possession charge is bull.

Either indict him for
murder, so I can defend him

or let him make bail.

I can get Wallace
into protective custody

but the charge is
conlon's decision.

That's why I came to you,
Wallace didn't kill that cop.

He shouldn't be
getting his ass beaten

to maintain conlon's
poll numbers.

This is politics, Maureen,
and it's racial and you know it.

This is not about race, Greg.

Then, just do what's right.

What happened to your keys?

Someone left them in my kitchen.

A little message
from veeder's unit.

Don't worry, I
already told conlon

to talk to ed about security.

- Who's that?
- Officer Wayne Michaels.

He spent two years in jail
for having sex with a minor.

- Kellie Lawson.
- When?

Three years ago.

Michaels was 45 at
the time, kellie was 15.

'And living at the
greenwood shelter.'

does this connect to the murder?

That's the thing. Michaels
was in veeder's unit.

'Two weeks before
kellie accused him'

of sleeping with her
he tried to transfer out.

Two cops who wanted to
leave the unit are linked to kellie.

I think veeder used her
to try control both of them.

Well, Michaels admitted
he had sex with kellie.

He claimed veeder introduced
him to her at the shelter.

Creepy.

Thanks, mom.

It was veeder's way
of keeping us loyal.

He called it drinking the cup.

- 'He had a quote from Bible.'
- I saw it.

"Are you able to drink the
cup that I am about to drink

and they said to
him we are able."

That's Jesus
about to die for god.

Drinkin' the cup
means he's gonna sit

at the right hand
of god and veeder...

Who is god?

He was to us.

So you had sex with kellie
Lawson to please veeder?

He told me she was 18.

'She wasn't, I went to jail.'

'and now, I'm on
the sex offenders list'

for the rest of my life.

I'm not asking
for pity. I did it.

But I did it for him. I
know that sounds crazy.

But it's crazy how
much I revered him.

'By the time I understood
what was going on'

I was in it up to my hips.

After a few months in the
unit he lets you know it's okay

to skim a few hundred
here and there.

Pretty soon your wife,
she's got this great job

workin' at greenwood.

The money, it's... It's
rollin' in. Life is good.

Then, veeder starts with
that drink from the cup stuff.

Blowin' in your ear
about this and that

tryin' to find out
what floats your boat.

See, he knows by
now you're one of his.

An acolyte, a follower.

'So he's plantin' the seed'

'nurturing that thing
you're gonna do for him.'

the unforgivable thing.

The minute he
introduced me to kellie

I knew we were gonna have sex.

Veeder wanted
it, so I wanted it.

He told me she was 18
because I wanted to hear it.

You drank the cup.

The minute you do that..

Veeder owns you.

So all the cops in his unit
must have drank the cup.

Oh, yeah.

You've to tell us their secrets.

Knowledge is power.

Veeder kept most
of it to himself.

Only one I could
really give you is Flynn.

I can't talk to you. You
know I can't talk to you.

I know you guys
steal from dealers.

And I know where
Sarah's salary comes from.

If you could prove that,
you wouldn't need me.

So why would I talk to you?

Because I know
about drinking the cup.

I talked to Wayne Michaels.
He told me your secret.

And what would that be?

Juliet Reynolds.

You wouldn't.

- I'll put you on the stand.
- I'll take the fifth.

- I'll immunize you.
- I'll lie.

I'll indict you for perjury,
obstruction of justice.

And conspiracy and I'll still
confront you about Juliet.

You would ruin my family.

To convict veeder
for murder, yes.

He killed your partner.

I think you'd wanna
help me convict him.

Jason was my best
friend, but I can't.

Give me another
way to convict veeder.

I promise you I'll do
everything I can to protect you.

Veeder pushed kellie
on Jason to corrupt him

but Jason was disgusted.

Said veeder was
treating kellie like a whore.

Veeder said, "she's my whore.
Who are you to turn her away?"

- They fought?
- It got ugly.

Afterwards Jason said
he would help kellie

get away from veeder. They
were supposed to meet that night.

- The night he was murdered?
- Somehow veeder found out.

Do you know what
happened to kellie?

She spooked, I don't
know. She didn't show up.

Jason was waiting
for her when veeder..

- Where's the gun?
- He threw it in a drain.

Between the crime
scene and his house.

Can we connect
the gun to veeder?

I don't... Maybe.

He was in a hurry, maybe
he screwed up somehow.

Okay. Show us where it is.

Veeder's DNA is
on the firing pin.

Myers' blood is
spattered inside the barrel.

How'd you find it?

Annabeth asked crime tech
to search the storm drains

between veeder's house
and the crime scene.

Did you ask them to
search anywhere else?

Uh, no, started with
the drains, got lucky.

Lucky, huh?

You have been ahead
of us this whole case.

It stops now. How'd
you find the gun?

Flynn, he told me about the gun

to avoid testifying
against veeder.

Is the gun enough?

It directly links
veeder to the murder.

With Michaels, the hotel manager

and other circumstantial
evidence it's more than enough.

Veeder murdered
Myers, no question.

Alright. Arrest him.

I'll draft a statement
clearing Wallace

of suspicion of Myers' murder.

Did I just hear you're
indicting veeder?

You're setting off
a bomb, Jimmy.

We need to think this through.

This is not a
political decision.

Either find a way to
make me look good

or find yourself
another candidate.

I don't want to find
another candidate.

Then, accentuate the positive.

(Ed) Chris veeder,
you are under arrest

for the murder of Jason Myers.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say, can
and will be used against you.

You have the
right to an attorney.

If you cannot afford one,
one shall be appointed for you.

- Doug.
- Annabeth.

What are you doing here?

- Chris veeder is my client.
- How can you stand to?

When murders
happen in monasteries

I represent monks.

Mr. Veeder believes
that you were tipped off

to the location of that gun.

- Now, is that true?
- That's irrelevant.

- Let's start with is that true?
- I don't have to answer

well, you might, Mr. Veeder
thinks that the gun

was planted there by somebody
who's trying to frame him.

That defense won't
keep him out of jail

depends on who gave you the gun.

I'm going to file a
motion to suppress it

unless you disclose your source.

The weapon was found
in a drain, a public place.

What's the issue, Mr. Hellman?

Your honor, my client
believes that someone

put his DNA on the gun, the
gun was placed in the drain.

'They tipped off the
prosecutor's office'

'as to its location.'

was the search for
the gun based on a tip?

Your honor, I shouldn't
have to answer that question.

Confidential informants need
to be able to provide evidence

without having to
disclose their identities.

But this informant has
provided the only direct evidence

connecting my
client to the crime.

The informant is
in effect an accuser.

Now, Mr. Veeder
should be allowed

to confront this accuser
as he would any other.

Mr. Veeder's DNA on the gun
speaks for itself, your honor.

Unless it was planted
on the gun to frame him.

(Jenkins) 'Did this informant
give you the location of the gun?'

yes, your honor.

Do you know this
confidential informant's name?

Yes, your honor.

Then, either he testifies
or exclude the gun at trial.

Tell Flynn I'm looking
forward to his testimony.

Hi. Thanks for comin' over.

Yeah, I kind of missed
your couch, actually.

Matt, how well do
you know Brian Flynn?

Not well. Just
through Jason. Why?

We're compelling him to testify.

I need you to help me
convince him to tell the truth.

Didn't you promise
not to call him?

Where'd you hear that?

Word gets around.

If he doesn't testify,
we lose the case.

- Maybe there's a way.
- How?

Have him give the
standard police answer.

The standard
police answer being?

I don't remember.
I can't recall.

That way he doesn't say
anything that undermines your case

he doesn't have to rat out
veeder and the gun gets in.

But he does recall
and if he lies to the jury

I'm gonna have to tell them why.

I'm gonna go.

You made a promise to Flynn.

You should keep it.

'I'll see ya.'

you knew I promised
to protect Flynn

when you proceeded
with the charges.

You promised, not this office.
The judge gave you an order.

Flynn made his bed, now he
gets exposed. Immunity in return.

- We had no case without it.
- We have no gun without Flynn.

Hellman will use Juliet
Reynolds to discredit Flynn.

It's your job to make
the jury see that

for the cynical
defense tactic that it is.

Veeder is cocky.

He's also an experienced
credible witness.

He'll take the stand.
We need the gun.

And Flynn's testimony
to counter him.

What if Flynn lies? What if he
says veeder didn't kill Myers?

You need to convince
him to tell the truth.

Jimmy, he's afraid
veeder will kill him.

We'll protect him
the way we protect

dozens of witnesses every year.

Look, even if he lies we
still get the gun into evidence.

Flynn is gonna testify.

No Flynn, no gun, no case.

Alright.

(Annabeth) 'Your copy of
the immunity agreement.'

- can we have a minute, please?
- Yeah, okay.

- Bye, honey.
- Bye.

I love you.

It's gonna be okay.

I haven't told her
yet about Juliet.

Why not?

I was hoping I wouldn't have to.

We went over this.

I'm asking you about Juliet

so that hellman can't
use that to discredit you.

I'm sorry. Sarah finds
out no matter what.

Matt got a hold of me. He
said maybe I could say...

Say that you don't recall?
That's not gonna happen.

I will put Juliet on
the stand if I have to.

This is your chance to get
out from under veeder's thumb.

Punish him for
killing your partner.

Tell the truth for Cindy's sake.

You can destroy veeder
with your testimony.

Good morning, detective Flynn.

Good morning.

Could you please
tell us about the night

Jason Myers was murdered?

Um..

Well, I..

It's alright, take your time

to recall the events
of that night clearly.

Did you see detective
veeder that night?

(Flynn) 'Uh..'

uh, he called me.

He told me Jason was dead.

That he'd been shot.

He told me to meet
him at the crime scene.

Detective veeder told you he'd
shot and killed Jason Myers?

And we both agreed to
put the blame on Wallace.

Why did he trust you?

Because he knew
something about me.

He knew that I'd had an affair.

(Annabeth) 'With
Juliet Reynolds?'

yes.

How did you meet
Juliet Reynolds?

Veeder introduced us.

He needed to have
something to hold over me.

He wanted you to drink the cup.

Yes.

By betraying my marriage.

[Crying] I'm sorry,
Sarah. I'm so sorry.

Was there anything
unusual about Juliet?

Yes.

She was..

She is a transvestite.

- A man.
- Yes.

[Gasps]

(Jenkins) 'Order.'

I know it took a lot of
courage for you to testify today.

Thank you for your honesty.

Good afternoon, detective Flynn.

You didn't want
your wife to find out

about your relationship
with Juliet Reynolds, did you?

No, of course, not.

So when Ms. Chase told
you that either you testify that

'detective veeder killed
Jason Myers or else..'

or else was too much of a risk.

That is when you told
her about the gun, isn't it?

Yes.

You didn't tell her about
it until after the subject

of Mr. Juliet Reynolds
came up, did you?

Yeah, that's correct.

Did you put that
gun in the drain?

No.

Did you transfer
detective veeder's DNA

onto that gun?

No.

You were desperate
not to testify

so you made up evidence
to support the crime

that the prosecution
demanded that you prove.

Is that not true,
detective Flynn?

No, that is, that is not true.

We've heard drinking the
cup is something of a motto

for your unit is that true?

When Jesus' disciples say
in that passage from Matthew

that they are able
to drink the cup

they submit themselves to
something greater, to god.

Now, some cops think
this job is about power.

For or me it's about humility,

(Doug) 'Humility?'

submitting yourself
to something greater.

That's why I'm
proud to be a cop.

Mr. Michaels testified
that drinking the cup

referred to your alleged efforts

to lure and cajole him

into bed with kellie Lawson.

When she was 15
years of age. Is that true?

Absolutely not.

I testified against Michaels
at his trial for that crime.

What about Mr. Flynn?

Did you lure and cajole him

into a homosexual
relationship with a transvestite?

I regret ever working with
men like Flynn and Michaels.

How, how could I or anyone
make them do those things?

It's not my place to judge

but I take responsibility
for what I've done.

'I can tell you Jason
Myers wasn't like them.'

it'd disgust him to see
that people like that

are used to accuse me.

His death... It's a tragedy.

Not just for his family
and our unit, but for this city

that Jason gave
his life to protect.

Detective veeder, how long
have you been a police officer?

Twenty two years.

And in all your years of service
what awards have you received?

I've received medal
of honor, medal of valor

'and three mayor's
commendations.'

- ever been accused of a crime?
- No, sir.

- Ever charged with misconduct?
- No, sir.

How many times have
you testified in court?

I've testified at
approximately 150 trials.

In all those hundreds
of hours of testimony

have you ever been
accused of perjury?

No.

Detective veeder did
you kill Jason Myers?

No.

(Annabeth) 'Detective
Flynn testified'

quote, "veeder told
Jason, she's my whore.

Who are you to turn her down?"

In what sense was
kellie Lawson your whore?

- I never said that.
- You pimped her.

Objection.

Ask a question, Ms.
Chase or move on.

(Annabeth) 'You
manipulated kellie Lawson'

just like you
manipulated the men

who worked for you
didn't you, detective?

They're all your
whores, aren't they?

- 'Objection, your honor.'
- A question, Ms. Chase?

The question, detective, is
do you manipulate the men

in your unit to
ensure their loyalty?

- I trust them with my life.
- Answer the question.

- Do you manipulate the men?
- No.

Flynn lied about me
because you cornered him

with some cheap secret.

You destroyed him
right in front of us.

I'm not the
manipulator Ms. Chase.

"On the one count of murder

'"we, the jury,
find the defendant'

not guilty."

[Crowd cheering]

- We lost the police vote.
- I'll put together a statement.

But I'm not sure I
want a statement.

This is my area
of expertise, Jim.

It's your turn to defer to me.

You are going to
extend an olive branch.

I am not gonna apologize.

- I said an olive branch.
- What's the difference?

An olive branch is a truce,
not an apology, trust me.

We've got time to fix this.
It's up to you whether we do.

What do I need to do?

Cindy, hi.

I came by to see you last night.

I'm so sorry we
didn't convict veeder.

Sarah used to bring the
kids by in the morning.

I'd take them to
school with her.

- I miss that.
- You haven't seen her?

I called, but she
hasn't called back.

Do you and Amanda wanna
come over for dinner tonight?

Maybe we could
call Sarah together?

Honestly, annabeth, I feel
like you started this whole thing.

Cindy, veeder
started this, not me.

Yeah, but he's not being
punished and the rest of us are.

It's like this tornado ripped
through our neighborhood.

It'll never be like it was.

[Cell phone ringing]

Ed, what's up?

We found kellie Lawson.
