YOU SAY YOU'RE HAVING NIGHTMARES
AND CANNOT SLEEP.

WHAT WOULD THEY DO
IN INDIA?

DIP ME IN THE GANGES?

YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT NIGHTMARES AND INSOMNIA

ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE?

YOU MUST PICK
ONE OR THE OTHER.

WHICH ONE GETS ME
A PRESCRIPTION?

WHY CAN'T YOU
SIMPLY TELL ME THE TRUTH?

YOU KNOW, ANXIETY
ARISES FROM FALSEHOODS,

SLEEP ISSUES
ARISE FROM ANXIETY.
[ SIGHS ]

OKAY.
DEB, COME ON.

WRITE ME A PRESCRIPTION
FOR SLEEPING PILLS.

NO. YOU KNOW WHAT?
GIVE ME THE GOOD STUFF --

THE STUFF THAT KILLED
MICHAEL JACKSON.

I WANT YOU TO WRITE ME UP EVERY
LIE YOU TELL IN THIS NOTEBOOK.

DO THAT, AND I'LL
CONSIDER A PRESCRIPTION.

MY SLEEPING RHYTHMS
HAVE BEEN THROWN OFF

'CAUSE I QUIT DRINKING.

FOR THAT TO BE TRUE,
YOU WOULD NEED TO STOP DRINKING.

MARK THAT DOWN --
YOUR FIRST LIE.

SO, YOU ARE
BRIBING ME WITH DRUGS

TO NOT LIE
IN MY JOURNAL OF LIES?

CONSIDER HOW SAD IT IS
THAT THIS IS NECESSARY.

IS THE LIEUTENANT
NOT IN YET?

LIEUTENANT HAD HIS PHYSICAL
THIS MORNING.

OH, THAT'S GONNA
MAKE FOR CRANKY PANTS.

WHOA, WHOA.
CUT THE MAN SOME SLACK.

HE'S NOT SLEEPING.

I OFFERED HIM TEAS
AND SOME RELAXATION EXERCISES.

HE PULLED HIS GUN ON ME.

[ CHUCKLES ]
SERIOUSLY.

Nadia: WELL, I KNOW
I'M ONLY A CIVILIAN

AND NOT OFFICIAL POLICE
LIKE YOU,

BUT IT'S OBVIOUS TO ME THAT
WHAT BACKSTROM NEEDS IS A LOVER.

Moto:
GREAT NEWS, GUYS!

THERE'S A DEAD BODY
DOWN AT THE EDDIE CHURCH.

THAT'S NOT GREAT NEWS,
MOTO.

YEAH, WELL, EVERY TIME
MOTO FINDS OUT ABOUT A MURDER,

HE WANTS US TO SOLVE IT.

IF WE DO CATCH THIS MURDER,
IT IS A VERY GOOD SIGN.

OKAY, OBVIOUSLY I WOULDN'T WISH
A VIOLENT DEATH ON ANYONE,

BUT IF SOMEONE
IS GOING TO GET MURDERED,

THEN IT MIGHT AS WELL
COME TO US.

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

ALMOND.
SPECIAL CRIMES.

YES, MA'AM.

THANK YOU.

MOTO, FIND THE LIEUTENANT,
BRING HIM TO THE CRIME SCENE.

WE JUST GOT
THE CULT CASE, KIDS.

Moto: YES!
Gravely: WHOO!

[ CHUCKLES ]

LORD!
[ SIREN CHIRPS ]

REMEMBER ME AND VISIT ME!

TAKE VENGEANCE FOR ME
ON MY PERSECUTORS!

OH, WOE TO YOU!

HOW LONG
BEFORE YOU WILL BE MADE CLEAN?

GOD WILL PUNISH YOU
FOR YOUR INEQUITY!

[ INDISTINCT TALKING ]

[ SIGHS ]

HOW OLD?

SHE TURNED 21
THREE DAYS AGO.

SHE LOOKS EVEN YOUNGER
BECAUSE IN DEATH, THE HUMAN --

OH, GOD.

EMMA GERMAIN.
SHE'S A YOUTH PASTOR.

SHE WAS STABBED SIX TIMES
IN THE CHEST WITH A KNIFE

BETWEEN MIDNIGHT
AND 4:00 A.M.

GOOD MORNING, LIEUTENANT.

YOU LOOK LIKE HELL.

I DIDN'T GET MUCH SLEEP
LAST NIGHT.

WHO'S THIS?
GRAND POOH-BAH OF THE CULT?

WE'RE NOT A CULT.

[ GRUNTS ] THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A CULT AND A RELIGION.

BOTH ARE, UH,
FAIRY-TALE CRAP

FABRICATED TO SEPARATE
FOOLS FROM THEIR MONEY.

MR. MUNDY,
THIS IS LIEUTENANT BACKSTROM.

HE'S THE HEAD
OF THE SPECIAL CRIMES UNIT.

SPECIAL CRIMES.
THIS ISN'T A HOMICIDE?

WE COVER HIGH-PROFILE,
HIGH-PRIORITY INVESTIGATIONS,

MR. MUNDY.

THE S.C.U.
IS A DEDICATED UNIT.

WE ONLY COVER
ONE INVESTIGATION AT A TIME.

LIEUTENANT,
THERE ARE PLENTY OF DIFFERENCES

BETWEEN CULTS
AND RELIGIONS.

[ GROANS ]

ONE BEING,
RELIGIONS ARE NONPROFIT.

YEAH? SO WHAT'S THE SCOOP
ON THE POPE'S PALACE?

[ SIGHS ]

I'M GONNA CHECK
FOR FORCED ENTRY.

THE LADY OUTSIDE
FIRE-AND-BRIMSTONING,
SHE WITH YOU?

NO, THAT'S A FUNDAMENTALIST
FROM THE HOLY WITNESS CHURCH.

THEY HATE US.

MM-HMM. AND WHAT'S THE DEAL
WITH SEX IN YOUR NON-CULT?

WE BELIEVE THAT THE PURPOSE
IN LIFE IS SELF-REALIZATION.

IN THAT CONTEXT,

THE HUMAN BRAIN
IS NOT ABLE TO HANDLE

THE RAMIFICATIONS OF
AN INTIMATE SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP

BEFORE THE AGE OF 21.
[ GROANS ]

THE VICTIM JUST TURNED 21.

COULD BE A SEX CRIME.

HEY, LIEUTENANT...

GOT SOMETHING
IN THE VICTIM'S THROAT.

OH.

IT'S A RIBBON
THAT READS, "I AM LOYAL."

OKAY. I'M GONNA GO QUESTION
THE BURN-IN-HELL LADY.

YOU TALK TO
THE CULT'S SECURITY GUARD,

WHO'S GONNA
JERK YOU AROUND.

WE ARE NOT A CULT.

CHURCH, TABERNACLE,
MOSQUE, TEMPLE --

IT ALL BOILS DOWN
TO KEEPING SECRETS.

CULT OR NO CULT,

PRETTY WOMAN GETS STABBED,
I HATE SECRETS.

THIS IS THE ONLY WAY
IN OR OUT EXCEPT FOR
THE EMERGENCY EXITS,

WHICH ARE ALARMED AND
MONITORED BOTH HERE
AND BY ANOTHER AGENCY.

OKAY, I'M GONNA NEED TO SEE
THE SECURITY FOOTAGE.

I'M FOURTH LEVEL.

I DON'T --

THAT MEANS THAT I
HAVE FULLY POTENTIALIZED

BOTH MY ALERTNESS
AND RECALL.

FOR INSTANCE, EMMA LEFT AT 6:00,
CAME BACK AT 8:00-ISH,

NEVER LEFT AGAIN.

MR. MUNDY AND HIS ADVISORY
COUNCIL WERE THE LAST TO LEAVE,

JUST BEFORE 10:00,

AFTER THEIR USUAL
TUESDAY-NIGHT MEETING.

FIRST PERSON BACK THIS MORNING
WAS MR. MUNDY AT 7:00 A.M.

HE FOUND EMMA.

SO, EMMA WAS ALONE
IN THE BUILDING

WHEN SHE WAS MURDERED?

YOU WHO ARE FEARFUL,
UNBELIEVING MURDERERS!

THIS IS WHY
I HATE SPIRITUALITY --

IT'S INSANE.

CHRISTIANITY'S
ABOUT FORGIVENESS.

SHE'S NOT REPRESENTATIVE.

HOW DO WE GET HER
TO STOP YELLING?
REJECT THOSE...

SHOOT HER?

YOU DO IT.
I SHOT SOMEBODY LAST WEEK.
WHOREMONGERS!

SORCERERS!
IDOLATERS!

UNBELIEVING...
MA'AM?

...LIARS!

ELIJAH WENT INTO A CAVE,

AND THE WORD OF THE LORD
CAME TO HIM A GENTLE WHISPER.

THAT'S GOOD.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE
THIS YOUNG LADY?

THAT'S EMMA.

SHE'S A MEMBER
OF THIS EVIL AND SATANIC CULT.

SOMETIMES,
SHE BRINGS ME TEA.

AND WHY IS THAT SATANIC?

LIKE YOU, SHE WOULD
SILENCE THE WORD OF GOD.

YOU WHO ARE DETESTABLE --

MA'AM!

EMMA GERMAIN WAS MURDERED.

I'M A CHURCH LADY
SO TWISTED,

SHE WANTS EVERYONE TO BURN
IN HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY.

WHY ALL THE HATE?

HUSBAND CHEATED ON ME?

CHILD KILLED
BY A DRUNK DRIVER?

THIS IS MY LITTLE GIRL.

BRAIN-DEAD
FROM ANESTHESIA.

THAT'S WORSE THAN DEAD.

I'M SORRY
FOR YOUR TRIBULATION, MA'AM.

THE LORD
WILL HAVE HIS REVENGE.

THERE WILL COME A DAY
OF TERRIBLE RETRIBUTION.

ESPECIALLY
IF YOU KEEP YELLING

AT SATAN'S
EVIL CULT BUILDING.

ALL DAY, ALL NIGHT.
NO FOOD, NO WATER, NO REST.

MIRACULOUS.

CONGRATULATIONS.

EXCEPT THERE IS
NO GOD OR MIRACLES.

IT IS A MIRACLE,
AND I CAN PROVE IT.

YOU PUT YOURSELF
ON CAMERA?

OTHERWISE,
THE CULTISTS

COULD FALSELY ACCUSE ME
OF TRESPASSING.

AND, NO,
YOU CAN'T HAVE IT.

MA'AM, WE CAN
GET A WARRANT,

OR YOU CAN CONSOLE YOURSELF
WITH THE POSSIBILITY

THAT BY VIEWING
YOUR HOLY WORKS,

THAT SINNER
WILL FIND HIS WAY TO THE LORD.

AND WE ARE VERY SORRY
FOR YOUR GRIEVOUS LOSS.

OH, SCREW IT.

BY THE POWER VESTED IN ME
BY THE STATE OF OREGON...
HEY!

...I'M CONFISCATING
THIS EVIDENCE.

HEY! HEY, YOU COME BACK HERE
WITH THAT!

GET BACK HERE!
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]

GIVE ME THAT TAPE!
Backstrom: NO.

YOU CAN'T --
[ CHUCKLES ]

-- Captions by VITAC --

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

LIEUTENANT, THIS IS
AMY GAZANIAN. SHE IS --

MY FIANCéE.

OKAY,
NOT WHERE I WAS GOING.

WE SPLIT A DECADE AGO.

IT'S TIME TO STOP
WITH THE "FIANCéE."

AND WHY ARE YOU
NOT IN SALEM

PROTECTING BATTERED WOMEN
FROM THE MEN THEY ANNOY?

UH, WELL, THAT WAS
THREE CAREERS AGO.

I'M HERE FOR MY NEW JOB.

CHIEF CERVANTES
APPOINTED MS. GAZANIAN

THE HEAD OF THE
CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.

OH.

I'M A CRUSADING DO-GOODER
WHO FAILED TO CASTRATE ONE COP,

SO NOW I GET A JOB
NEUTERING ALL COPS.

WELL, I GUESS THAT MAKES ME
AN ALCOHOLIC MESS OF A MAN

WHO AVOIDS HIS DEMONS
BY HUNTING DOWN WORSE PEOPLE.
[ LAUGHS ]

DON'T PULL THAT "I'M YOU" MOJO
ON ME. I HELPED INVENT IT.

BACKSTROM'S OBSESSED THAT
THERE'S A BAD GUY OUT
THERE LAUGHING AT HIM --

"I OUTSMARTED
EVERETT BACKSTROM!"

YOU TRY AND OUTSMART ME,
YOU END UP IN JAIL.

YOU KNOW THAT'S A FACT.

GO...SORT EVIDENCE.

RIGHT.
'CAUSE THAT'S MY MAIN JOB.

DETECTIVE NICOLE GRAVELY,
FIRST IN HER TRAINING CLASS,

YOUNGEST DETECTIVE SERGEANT
IN THE BUREAU'S HISTORY --

MALE OR FEMALE --

TWO COMMENDATION MEDALS,
ONE ACHIEVEMENT MEDAL...

SO?
SHE LOOKS LIKE A TEENAGER.

...AND A POLICE STAR.
[ SCOFFS ]

I HOPE YOU CAN LEARN
HOW EVERETT DOES WHAT HE DOES

WITHOUT GETTING SUCKED INTO
HIS BOTTOMLESS PIT OF DESPAIR.

OH, I LIKE HER.

SHE'S THE ENEMY, GRAVELY.

DON'T GET LURED IN
BY HER SILVER TONGUE.
[ CHUCKLES ]

[ SIGHS ]

IT'S GOOD
TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

YOU TOO.

I'D ASK HOW YOU ARE,
EXCEPT I CAN SEE.

I'M NOT SLEEPING WELL.

[ LAUGHS ] OH, THAT IS NOT
SLEEP -- IT'S PASSING OUT.

AND YOU DON'T GET
TO NAG ME ANYMORE. YOU LEFT.

YEAH, 'CAUSE I GOT TIRED
OF NAGGING.

[ SIGHS ]

[ SIGHS ] HEADS UP
FOR OLD TIMES' SAKE --

THERE ARE INCONSISTENCIES IN
YOUR OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTING.

HOW?
IT'S SIMPLE --

A VERY BAD MAN SHOT
GRAVELY, THEN HE SHOT
ME, THEN I SHOT HIM.

THE SHOOTING BOARD
SAID I'M A HERO.

COPS INVESTIGATING COPS
AND MAKING THEM HEROES

IS WHY CHIEF CERVANTES
FORMED CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT.

GOD, IT REALLY IS
GOOD TO SEE YOU.

Gravely:
SHE LIKES YOU.

SHE JUST KISSED YOU ON YOUR
GROSS, SWEATY, HAIRY CHEEK.

THAT'S NOT
GONNA STOP HER

FROM GETTING ME FIRED
OR THROWN IN JAIL.

I'M A DRUNK WHO LOST
THE LOVE OF A GOOD WOMAN

BECAUSE I COULDN'T PUT DOWN
THE BOTTLE TILL IT WAS EMPTY.

I'M SORRY.

IT WAS 10 YEARS AGO.

NOBODY LOVES ANYBODY
FOR THAT LONG.

[ SIGHS ]

[ SIGHS ]

AND THE EDDIES' MAIN TENET IS,
"I AM THE CENTER."

ALSO KNOWN AS
BEING SELFISH.

THEY DO GOOD --
CHILDHOOD LITERACY PROGRAMS,

ANTI-POVERTY OUTREACH, ADDICTION
PROGRAMS, COMMUNITY HEALTH.

MNH-MNH.
Nadia:
THAT'S ALL PUBLIC RELATIONS.

THANK YOU.

DID ANYONE ELSE KNOW

THAT BACKSTROM USED TO BE
ENGAGED TO A FANTASTIC WOMAN?

YOU MEAN AMY GAZANIAN.
YEAH, THE HEAD
OF CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT.

MM-HMM.
BIG CRITIC OF THE BUREAU
FOR YEARS.

MM. SENT MORE THAN ONE COP
TO EARLY RETIREMENT.

ANYONE WHO
DIDN'T DESERVE IT?

GUYS, SHE'S SMART
AND SHE'S BEAUTIFUL

AND SHE WAS ENGAGED
TO BACKSTROM.

IS ANYONE ELSE'S MIND
BOGGLED?

HE HAS SEX APPEAL --

LITTLE BOY LOST,
LITTLE BIT DIRTY.

OKAY, YOU ARE SO
NOT AMERICAN.
OH, THANK YOU.

NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME,
THE GENEROSITY OF WOMEN.

THE LIEUTENANT NEEDS A LIFT BACK
TO THE CULT TO LOOK FOR SECRETS,

AND I WANT
TO CHECK FOR CLUES

OUTSIDE THE CRIME LAB
FORENSIC PARAMETERS.

MY OPINION, THE CRIME LAB CAST
ITS NET TOO CLOSE TO THE BOAT.

MM, NIEDERMAYER'S
FUTILE QUEST

TO MAKE BACKSTROM
APPRECIATE FORENSICS.

[ LIGHTER CLICKS ]

[ LIGHTER CLICKING ]

[ DOOR OPENS ]

Nadia: SO, BY CROSS-REFERENCING
ENTRANCES AND EXITS

WITH THE GUARD'S
LOGBOOKS, WE --
WHAT?

WHAT -- WHAT LOGBOOKS?

HE'S A LEVEL FOUR
WITH PERFECT RECALL.

HE'S A LYING FAKE.

I FOUND HIS CHEAT SHEETS,
AND I SWIPED THEM.

"SWIPED THEM" DIDN'T INCLUDE
A WARRANT, DID IT?

I GO LOOKING FOR A MATCH,
I END UP WITH EVIDENCE.

IT'S CALLED GENIUS.

SO, 12:07 A.M.

THE ONLY PERSON WHO COULD HAVE
MURDERED EMMA GERMAIN...

"V.C."

VINCENT CROPPER.

V.C.

A LONG-TIME EDDIE,

A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR.

GOTCHA.

HAVE YOU BEEN HERE
ALL NIGHT?

UH...GOOD MORNING.

I HAD TO TAKE GRAVIMETRIC
MOISTURE MEASUREMENTS

EVERY 20 MINUTES.

EMMA GERMAIN ENJOYED A CUP
OF TEA SHORTLY BEFORE SHE DIED.

A SECOND,
EQUALLY MOIST TEA BAG

SUGGESTS THERE WAS
A SECOND PARTY.

THIS MUG WAS FOUND ON EMMA'S
DESK WITH THE TEA STILL IN IT.

THIS MUG...

WAS FOUND CLEANED
AND IN THE DRYING RACK.

OKAY, SO, EMMA
HAS TEA WITH VINCE CROPPER,

HE TAKES HER INTO THE BASILICA,
HE STABS HER,

HE RETURNS TO HER OFFICE,
RECOVERS HIS MUG, AND WASHES IT.

PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR
WOULD KNOW BETTER THAN
TO LEAVE PRINTS, RIGHT?

OKAY.

Backstrom:
[ MUTTERING ]

NO.

NO.

Valentine: HEY.

[ GRUNTS ]

OW!

WHY'D YOU HIT ME?

HUMAN NATURE.
YOU HIT ME FIRST.

NO SLAPPING THE LANDLORD.
HOUSE RULES.

JUST RAISED YOUR RENT
BY 20 BUCKS A MONTH.

[ CELLPHONE RINGING ]

[ BEEP ]

WHAT?

Gravely: HOW DID YOU AND AMY
EVER MEET?

Backstrom: SHE WAS A CRIME
REPORTER, I WAS IN HOMICIDE.

WE MET OVER CORPSES.

QUIT BEING SO AMAZED

LIKE I'M STEPHEN HAWKING
DATING AN ACROBAT.

THAT'S HIM.
THAT'S VINCENT CROPPER.

OH, HE'S SCARY.
CALL MOTO.

WE DON'T NEED MOTO.
WE HAVE GUNS.

MR. CROPPER,
I'M DETECTIVE NICOLE GRAVELY.

WE NEED TO ASK YOU
A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

WE COMPARED FOOTAGE
OF EVERYONE WHO CAME AND WENT

IN THE 24 HOURS
BEFORE AND AFTER EMMA'S DEATH

TO THE SECURITY GUARD'S
LOGBOOK.

HENRY DOESN'T USE LOGS.

HE'S A LEVEL FOUR --
PERFECT RECALL.

EVEN A LEVEL FOUR
NEEDS A CHEAT SHEET.

HE WRITES
THE INITIALS V.C.

AT THE EXACT TIMES
YOU CAME AND WENT.

"V.C., 12:07 A.M."

OOH, THAT LOOKS BAD.

LOOKS EVEN WORSE
FOR YOU.

ONE, YOU CAN'T PROVE

THAT YOU GOT THOSE LOGBOOKS
FROM THE CHURCH.

TWO, IF YOU DID,
YOU DIDN'T HAVE A WARRANT.

THREE, HENRY WILL DENY
THAT THEY'RE HIS.

FOUR, YOU CAN'T PROVE
THAT I'M V.C.

AND FIVE,
WE'RE OFFICIALLY REQUESTING

THAT THE CHIEF OF POLICE
REMOVE YOU FROM EMMA'S HOMICIDE.

SHE DESERVES MUCH BETTER.

EXCUSE ME.

OKAY.
OKAY.

WELL, WE JUST GOT OUR ASSES
HANDED TO US.

AND YOU STOOD THERE
LIKE A LUMP.

DISAPPOINTING.

Nadia:
DETECTIVE GRAVELY,

I HAVE MR. VINCENT CROPPER'S
FINANCIAL RECORDS.

TELL ME YOU GOT
A WARRANT FOR THOSE.

OH, LIEUTENANT BACKSTROM TOLD ME
NOT TO BOTHER WITH THAT HOOEY.

SO, CROPPER EDIFIED HIMSELF
FROM P.I. TO LAWYER

AND IS PAID A FAT RETAINER
TO DEAL WITH NUISANCE SUITS,

BUT THREE DAYS AGO, HE RECEIVED
$10,000 FROM A SHELL COMPANY.

A SECRET SLUSH FUND
FOR A CULT.

I CANNOT PROVE THAT.

GOOD JOB, PAQUET.

OH, YOU DON'T GET
A "GOOD JOB" FROM ME

WHEN YOU IGNORE
LEGAL HOOEY.

THINK IT'S TIME FOR ME
TO PAY MY RESPECTS.

LIEUTENANT!

IT'S A STARK REMINDER THAT
EMMA GERMAIN WAS THE BEST OF US,

AND SHE WAS STABBED TO DEATH
HERE,

WHERE I'M STANDING.

DEATH IS NOT TO BE FEARED.

IT'S JUST A DOORWAY
TO ANOTHER ROOM.

BUT WHO AMONGST US
ISN'T SAD...
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

...WHEN A LOVED ONE
LEAVES THE ROOM?

I AM...

Congregation:
THE CENTER.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]
Mundy:
LIEUTENANT BACKSTROM...

I'M SURE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND

THAT THIS IS OUR PRIVATE WAY TO
MOURN THE LOSS OF EMMA GERMAIN.

YEAH, I UNDERSTAND.

I GET IT.
MY CONDOLENCES.

I GOT NOTHING
AGAINST YOU OR YOUR CHURCH.

BELIEVING YOU'RE
THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE

IS NO CRAZIER THAN WORSHIPING
A CARPENTER OR COWS.

BUT SOMEONE IN THIS ROOM
KILLED EMMA GERMAIN.

HOW DO WE KNOW THIS?

MONEY WAS FUNNELED THROUGH
A SECRET OFFSHORE ACCOUNT

OWNED BY THIS CULT
TO A KNOWN CONTRACT KILLER.

THAT MAKES THIS A CONSPIRACY.

CULTS AND CONSPIRACIES
GO TOGETHER

KIND OF LIKE
VODKA AND VERMOUTH.

SO, UH, IF I WERE YOU, I WOULD
COME TO ME WITH WHAT YOU KNOW

RATHER THAN HAVING ME
COME AFTER YOU...

WITH HANDCUFFS!

[ CONGREGATION MURMURS ]

IF IT WAS UP TO ME, I'D
ARREST YOU ALL AND TURN THIS
PLACE INTO A ROLLER RINK.

AND THAT'S NOT DISCRIMINATION,

'CAUSE I'D DO THE SAME THING
TO THE SISTINE CHAPEL.

I AM...

...THE WALRUS!

Gravely:
GOD, CAN YOU IMAGINE

HAVING TO PROCESS THE VIOLENT
DEATH OF YOUR OWN CHILD?

"A," "PROCESS" IS AN UNNECESSARY
WORD, LIKE "HYDRATE."

"B," IF SHE'S
SUCH A GREAT MOTHER,

WHY DID HER DAUGHTER
RUN AWAY TO JOIN A CULT?

I'LL HAVE SOMEONE
TAKE YOU TO THE MORGUE.

SHE HADN'T SEEN HER DAUGHTER
IN OVER FIVE YEARS,

BUT SHE SAYS

THAT EMMA WAS CALLING HER
REGULARLY THE LAST FEW WEEKS,

HANGING UP
AND NOT SAYING ANYTHING.

IF SHE WASN'T
SAYING ANYTHING,

HOW DOES SHE KNOW
IT WAS HER DAUGHTER?

SHE'S A MOTHER.
SHE KNOWS.

OH, MYSTIC
MOTHER POWER, HUH?

WHAT SAY THE THREE OF
US PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER
FOR A MINUTE OR TWO?

Gravely:
RIGHT BEHIND YOU, CHIEF.

Cervantes: YOU TOLD THE
EDDIES THAT YOU HAD EVIDENCE
OF A PAYMENT TO A HIT MAN?

YOU APPOINTED MY FIANCéE
TO THE HEAD OF THE CIVILIAN
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE?

WE DO, CHIEF, BUT IT'S FROM
A SERIES OF UNTRACEABLE

OFFSHORE
HOLDING COMPANIES.

YOU WERE MY PARTNER
WHEN I DUMPED AMY.

NOW YOU'VE HANDED HER MY
TESTICULARS TO HIT WITH A GAVEL!

THE NOTEBOOKS
ARE NON-ADMISSIBLE,

SO FIND A LEGAL WAY TO
TIME-STAMP THE CAMERA FOOTAGE.

ASSUMING
YOU GOT THAT LEGALLY.

THAT'S A GRAY AREA
ON THE CAMERA FOOTAGE, CHIEF.

BUT I DID GIVE US VINCE CROPPER.
YOU'RE WELCOME.

AMY'S GONNA USE
THE CIVILIAN BOARD TO REFORM ME.

IT'S A CONFLICT
OF INTEREST.

WOULD YOU
SHUT UP ABOUT AMY?

SHE CARES ABOUT YOU MORE THAN
ANY OTHER PERSON ON THE PLANET.

[ KNOCK ON WINDOW ]

CULT LEADER WIFE DARLENE MUNDY
WISHES TO CONFIDE IN YOU,

BUT SHE WON'T COME IN OR MEET AT
HER HOME OR AT THE EDDIE PLACE.

YOU'RE WELCOME AGAIN.

MY NAME IS DARLENE MUNDY.

I'M 38 YEARS OLD.

I'VE BEEN MARRIED
TO LEON MUNDY,

FOUNDER OF
THE CHURCH OF EDIFICATION,

FOR 14 YEARS.

WE HAVE NO CHILDREN.

SHE'S TALKING LIKE
A CONTESTANT ON "JEOPARDY!"

WELL, I ASSUME
YOU ARE RECORDING ME.

I WAS THE ONE WHO PAID VINCE
$10,000, BUT NOT TO KILL EMMA.

WAS IT FOR
INTERIOR DESIGN?

I ENGAGED VINCE
TO FIND OUT

IF MY HUSBAND HAD RESUMED
HIS AFFAIR WITH EMMA.

PLEASE DON'T TURN OUR CHURCH
INTO A ROLLER RINK.

YOUR HUSBAND WAS HAVING
AN AFFAIR WITH THE VICTIM?

WHY ELSE BE A CULT LEADER EXCEPT
TO PLUCK THE LOW-HANGING FRUIT?

I SAID "PLUCK."

PLUCK.

LOOK, VINCE CALLED ME
FROM THE CHURCH

TO SAY THAT LEON WAS NOT THERE
BUT EMMA WAS.

VINCE IS A LEVEL 12.

HE WOULD NEVER LIE
TO A LEVEL 20.

NIEDERMAYER'S
A KNOW-IT-ALL

ABOUT ALL THAT
CREEPY CULT STUFF, RIGHT?

MY AFFAIR WITH EMMA
ENDED LONG AGO.

IT WAS ADDRESSED
THROUGH EDIFICATION PROTOCOLS.

ADDRESSED HOW?

"I'M SORRY
ABOUT MY PENIS"?

THERE ARE
CHURCH MYSTERIES

TO WHICH THE UNENLIGHTENED
ARE NOT PRIVY.

[ SIGHS ]

EDDIES ARE DIVIDED
INTO SIX-MEMBER GROUPS

CALLED SEMESTERS,

WHICH PROVIDE FORUMS IN WHICH
TO CONFESS TRANSGRESSIONS,

ASSIGN PENANCE,
AND MAKE AMENDS.

I GET IT --

EDDIES HUDDLE TOGETHER
IN CLUSTERS

AND SPILL
THEIR DIRTY SECRETS.

WHAT'S THIS?

EVERY EDDIE IS REQUIRED
TO PURCHASE A GOLD FRAME

IN WHICH TO FEATURE

AN IMAGE REPRESENTING
THEIR HEART'S DESIRES.

SO, YOUR HEART'S DESIRE

IS TO HAVE SUPERHERO POWERS
FROM COSMIC RAYS?

THE RAYS
REPRESENT EDIFICATION.

WELL, THEN EDIFY US
ON WHO WAS IN EMMA'S CLUSTER.

SEMESTER.
IS THAT PERTINENT?

DIRTY SECRETS AND MURDER
SORT OF GO TOGETHER.

LIKE CULTS AND PROFIT.

THERE ARE ISSUES
OF CONFIDENTIALITY.

EH.
WE'LL GET A WARRANT.

WE WILL ARGUE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHTS TO WORSHIP.

HEADLINE --
"SECRETIVE CULT

REFUSES TO COOPERATE
IN MURDER INVESTIGATION."

THAT OUGHT TO HELP YOU GET
YOUR OFFICIAL TAX-FREE STATUS.

[ CHUCKLES ]

I WILL NOTIFY EMMA'S SEMESTER
OF YOUR REQUEST.

THEY WILL DECIDE
WHETHER OR NOT TO CONTACT YOU.

Backstrom:
WHAT'S THIS?

IT'S A MAP OF THE VICTIM'S
INTERNET INTERACTIONS.

I ATTEMPTED TO DISCOVER
THE MEMBERS OF HER SEMESTER,

BUT WITHOUT AT LEAST ONE MORE
MEMBER, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.

EVEN FOR ME.

[ Chuckling ]
TAG, YOU'RE ON IT.

IT'S JUST,
"TAG, YOU'RE IT."

[ CLEARS THROAT ]
THIS IS RYAN DURST.

HE WANTS TO SPEND A SEMESTER
STUDYING US.

UM...NO, THAT'S
NOT EVEN CLOSE TO CORRECT.

WERE YOU A MEMBER
OF EMMA GERMAIN'S CLUSTER?

SEMESTER. AND WE'VE DECIDED
NOT TO REVEAL OUR IDENTITIES.

PAQUET!

WHY'D THE CLUSTER
SEND A KID?

I'M THE YOUNGEST EIGHTH LEVEL
IN THE CHURCH, SIR.

EIGHTH LEVEL.

THAT'S ABOUT $10,000 PER LEVEL,
RIGHT?

WHERE'D YOU COME UP
WITH THAT KIND OF DOUGH?

THE CHURCH PROVIDES
GENEROUS STUDENT LOANS.

OH, HOW THOUGHTFUL.

THIS IS RYAN DURST.
HE LOOKS LIKE A ROBOT,

BUT HE'S AN EDDIE BOY
FROM EMMA GERMAIN'S CLUSTER.

SEMESTER.
SEMESTER.

RYAN DURST.

GOT IT.
I'LL HAVE THE REST IN AN HOUR.

YOU'LL HAVE
THE REST OF WHAT?

[ SIGHS ]
THANK YOU
FOR YOUR COOPERATION, RYAN.

THIS MEETING'S OVER.

Nadia:
SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOUR NAP.

I WAS MEDITATING.

DID YOU FIGURE OUT
THE CLUSTER?

MM-HMM. OUR DEAD END
IS NOW A LIVING END.

HERE IS THE LIST OF THE MEMBERS
OF EMMA GERMAIN'S SEMESTER.

TOTALLY ILLEGAL, SO NO
"GOOD JOB" FOR ME FROM GRAVELY.

HOLD ON A SECOND, THERE,
MADAME OVARY.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD?

I BELIEVE IN BELIEF.
DON'T YOU?

I BELIEVE
YOU SHOULD COME OVER HERE

AND HELP ME BELIEVE
IN HEAVEN ON EARTH.

MM.

YOUR OLD SQUEEZE COMES BY,
GETS YOUR JUICES FIRED UP.

I'M NOT A SUBSTITUTE.

[ SIGHS ]

BUT OTHERWISE?

THE MOMENT'S PASSED.

WE'LL NEVER KNOW.

LOOK, WE DEMAND TO KNOW

HOW YOU FOUND OUT
THE MEMBERS OF OUR SEMESTER.

YOU BLABBERED EVERYTHING
WHEN YOU WERE HERE THIS MORNING.

MR. STAN PARK,
YOUTH PASTOR.

RYAN'S LEVEL EIGHT. HE WOULD
NEVER BETRAY THE CHURCH.

WHO HERE WAS SLEEPING
WITH EMMA GERMAIN?

IT CERTAINLY WASN'T ME.

THE WAY YOU'RE CHECKING OUT
MY FULL BACKSTROM PACKAGE,

YOU JOINED THIS CULT
TO CURE GAYNESS.

I'M YOU, TRYING TO SHOW
NO EMOTION ABOUT EMMA'S DEATH

TO PROVE TO SOMEONE
THAT I'M GLAD SHE'S DEAD.

WHAT'S HE DOING?
WHAT DO I DO?

SHARE NOTHING
WITH THE UNENLIGHTENED.

THAT'S WHAT YOU DO.
CAN IT, GRANNY.

Park:
CRAIG HAD FEELINGS FOR EMMA,

BUT WE DEALT WITH THEM
IN THE SEMESTER.

THAT MAKES CRAIG
OUR PRIME SUSPECT.

Marissa:
HILARY'S RIGHT --

WE SHOULDN'T
SAY ANYTHING.

OH, CHUBBO STEPS UP
TO DEFEND HIM.

WHY?

EASY.

EMMA GETS YOUR JUICES
ALL FIRED UP,

BUT CHUBBO HERE'S
THE NEAREST SUBSTITUTE.

CRAIG?
YOU AND MARISSA?
CRAIG...

YOU SHOULD HAVE
BROUGHT THAT UP IN THE SEMESTER!

THAT EXPLAINS
THE STONE FACE --

PROVE I HAVE NO LOVE FOR EMMA
WHILE I'M SHAGGING CHUBBO.

IT WAS A WEIRD MISTAKE.
IT DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING.

Backstrom:
"A WEIRD MISTAKE."

YOU SHOUTED OUT EMMA'S NAME
INSTEAD OF HERS

WHILE YOU WERE KNOCKING
ON HEAVEN'S GATE.

UH-OH.

WE GOT A RUNNER.

HEY. HEY.

RUNNING MAKES IT LOOK LIKE
YOU KILLED EMMA OUT OF JEALOUSY.

CRAIG ONLY DID THAT BECAUSE
WE WERE IN HER OFFICE.

YOU HAD SEX
IN EMMA'S OFFICE?

SHE HAS A COUCH.

AND A LOCK.

AND HANDI WIPES.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

Gravely:
GIRL AND HER BOYFRIEND

HAVE BEEN MEETING UP
IN EMMA'S OFFICE IN THE CHURCH

FOR SECRET
SEXUAL LIAISONS.

AND THEY GOT IN

BY PROMISING THE SECURITY GUARD
THAT HE COULD WATCH.

NO!
ALWAYS TO THE DARK PLACE.

THE KID KNOWS
A SECRET WAY IN.

HAVE MOTO ARREST ROMEO.

FOR MURDER?

TRESPASSING.

OKAY, THAT'S NOT REALLY
IN THE BOOK.

WELL, IT'S IN
THE BACKSTROM BOOK.

YOU CAN TRUST ME.

[ GROANS ]
DAMN IT.

GO.

[ DOOR OPENS, CLOSES ]

THIS IS LIKE
99% CAFFEINE,

AND YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHY YOU CAN'T SLEEP.

Backstrom:
[ SIGHS ]

I'M STARTING TO THINK
MAYBE YOU DON'T WANT TO SLEEP.

THESE NIGHTMARES ARE REALLY
GETTING TO YOU, AREN'T THEY?

[ SNIFFS ]

HERE.

IT'S A SUPER-ILLEGAL
HORSE TRANQUILIZER FROM HOLLAND.

PUT YOU DOWN WHERE EVEN
NIGHTMARES CAN'T GET TO YOU.

JUST TAKE...
[ SWALLOWS ]

...HALF.

[ Echoing ]
CALL, CALL, CALL, CALL.

CALL, CALL, CALL, CALL.

CALL --

[ SIGHS ]

YEAH?

HEY.

[ GROANS ]

MOTO ARRESTED THE KID.

[ MUTTERS ]

PICK US UP.
BRING THE KID.

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

AAH!

SO, WHAT'D THE KID DO?

TRESPASSING, HAVING SEX
IN A CHURCH, AND MURDER.

[ CHUCKLES ]
I LIKE YOU.

[ SPEAKING INCOHERENTLY ]

YEAH, I DIDN'T GET
NONE OF THAT.

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

HE SAYS IF THE KID
GETS YOU PAST THE GUARDS,

YOU'LL DROP
THE TRESPASS CHARGES.

OKAY, YEAH.

BUT THERE'S A PROBLEM.

GOOD THING
I'M A PROBLEM SOLVER.

[ GROANS ]

Craig:
DO YOU HAVE A RELIGION?

Moto:
I GO TO CHURCH ON CHRISTMAS,
I PRAY WHEN I'M SCARED,

AND I LOVE THE BLAZERS.

THAT'S ENOUGH RELIGION
FOR A GROWN-ASS MAN.

I'M NOT
FITTING IN THERE.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

[ SIGHS ]

GOOD GOD.

[ GRUNTS ]

YOU REALLY WENT THROUGH ALL THIS
JUST TO HAVE SEX?

AND WITH A GIRL?

YEAH.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?

YOU NEVER HEARD OF
CARS, ALLEYS, PARKS,

GARDEN SHEDS, REC ROOMS,

BROOM CLOSETS, TEEPEE,
CAMPERS, CEMETERIES,

ATTICS,
BASEMENTS, LOCKER ROOMS,

BOUNCY CASTLE --
THOSE ARE FUN.

ELEVATORS, IF YOU'RE QUICK,
WHICH I ASSUME YOU WOULD BE.

[ INHALES SHARPLY ]

WELCOME BACK,
LIEUTENANT.

WE JUST HELPED TWO CIVILIANS
BREAK INTO PRIVATE PROPERTY,

SO IT'S GOING GREAT.

Valentine:
...ROWBOATS, GAZEBOS --
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
HERE WE ARE.

EMMA'S OFFICE.

ALL RIGHT, KID, YOU KNOW
EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING

MAKES YOU LOOK GUILTY,
RIGHT?

I'M NOT A KILLER.

I'M A -- I'M A LOVER.

[ CHUCKLES ]

WELL, IN THAT CASE,

YOU'RE GONNA NEED WHAT THE COPS
CALL AN ALTERNATIVE NARRATIVE --

SOMEONE ELSE
WHO KNOWS THE WAY IN.

IT WAS RYAN.

RYAN WAS THE ONE
WHO SHOWED ME HOW TO GET IN.

GO.

SO, RYAN DURST
SHOWED YOU THE WAY IN?

HE SNEAKS IN TO PRACTICE
PREACHING IN THE BASILICA.

MAKES ME WATCH.

HOW ARE YOU EVEN CONSCIOUS
RIGHT NOW?

I HAVE THE CONSTITUTION
OF A LION.

[ GRUNTS ]

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

[ GRUNTS ]

[ SIGHS ]

OKAY, INTERROGATIONS
ARE RECORDED,

SO DO NOT MENTION
UNNAMED CIVILIANS

BREAKING INTO
THEORETICAL LOCATIONS.

I'LL TELL THEM
IT CAME TO ME IN A DREAM.

THIS IS BETTER.

[ SIGHS ]

[ Flatly ] "FINGERPRINTS AND
MOISTURE GRAVIMETRICS TELL US

"YOU HAD TEA WITH EMMA GERMAIN
SHORTLY BEFORE HER DEATH.

"KNOWING YOU DIDN'T GO
IN THE FRONT DOOR,

AND USING...
OUR POWERS OF DEDUCTION..."

REALLY?

"...WE FOUND
YOUR ENTRY POINT,

A SMALL GRATE ON THE
NORTHEAST SIDE OF THE CHURCH."

BACKSTROM
IS USING FORENSICS.

SOUNDS
TOTALLY NATURAL, TOO.

WHY DIDN'T YOU
GO IN THE FRONT DOOR?

NORMAL KID,
I WOULD SAY IT WAS SEXUAL,

BUT NO WAY YOU'RE BREAKING CULT
RULES TO DO SOMETHING NORMAL.

THAT WAS A PRIVATE
COUNSELING SESSION.

I'M YOU.
I'M AN EIGHTH-LEVEL SUPER EDDIE.

WHAT DO I
NEED COUNSELING FOR?

I DON'T.

EMMA WAS THE ONE
WHO WAS SEEKING OUT ADVICE.

I RAISED RYAN
TO BE GOOD.

YOU DIDN'T RAISE ME
AT ALL.

ADVICE ABOUT WHAT?

THAT'S PRIVATE.

LIKE THE CATHOLICS
AND CONFESSION.

CONFESSION.

I'M EMMA.

I'M CONFESSING SOMETHING.

BUT WHAT?

[ SIGHS ]

THAT "EVIDENCE" WAS STOLEN
BY A CIVILIAN FROM THE CHURCH.

LOTS OF THE LIEUTENANT'S
BEST EVIDENCE IS STOLEN.

[ SCOFFS ]

I'M EMMA.
I'M A GOOD GIRL.

I JUST TURNED 21.

I EVALUATE MY LIFE.

I AM...

...DISILLUSIONED.

I WANT TO GO HOME
AND SEE MY MOM.

THAT'S WHAT I
CONFESS TO YOU.

I'M LEAVING THE CULT.

I'M GOING HOME
TO SEE MY MOTHER.

AND YOU...

STAB ME
IN THE HEART SIX TIMES.

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

[ INHALES DEEPLY ]

WE'LL FIND A WEAPON

OR SOME BLOOD ON YOUR CLOTHES
OR SOMETHING.

WE GOT YOU.

Gigi:
[ GASPS ]

WE GOT A RUNNER.
[ CHUCKLES ]

COME HERE!

Gravely: OOF!

Niedermayer:
I GOT HIM! I GOT HIM.

STOP! BOY...

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
...YOU DONE WRONG,
YOU GOT CAUGHT.

IT'S TIME
FOR SOME TRUTH.

EVERYBODY LOVED EMMA,

BUT HER DISLOYALTY

WOULD HAVE SPREAD THROUGH
THE CHURCH LIKE A DISEASE.

EMMA WAS A TRAITOR,

BUT I AM A SAVIOR.

Backstrom: NOW YOU GET TO SHARE
YOUR MESSAGE OF HOPE

WITH EVERYBODY
ON DEATH ROW.

MOTO.

[ HANDCUFFS CLICK ]

WHY AREN'T YOU SMOKING?
YOU SMOKE WHEN YOU GLOAT.

WHY AREN'T YOU
GLOATING?

I'M NOT GLOATING 'CAUSE SOMEONE
OUT THERE'S LAUGHING AT ME.

YOUR FATHER?

NO, GRAVELY.

NOT MY FATHER,
JUST...A BAD GUY.

DON'T LISTEN
TO NIEDERMAYER OR AMY

ABOUT ANY OF THAT
PSYCHOLOGICAL DADDY CRAP.

WHAT BAD GUY?

WE GOT THE KILLER.
THE KID WAS BOASTING ABOUT IT.

THE EDDIES --

THEY'RE ALL ABOUT REALIZING
YOUR PERSONAL POTENTIAL.

I AM THE CENTER.

SELFISH,
LIKE ALMOND SAID.

SACRIFICING YOURSELF
FOR THE GREATER GOOD

ISN'T PART OF THE DEAL.

EXACTLY.

SO, I'M A ROBOT.

WHAT MAKES ME VIOLATE
THE PRIME DIRECTIVE?

OKAY.

GEEK STUFF, I CAN DO THIS.
I HAVE BROTHERS.

UM...

GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM...

BAD PROGRAMMING?

THAT'S GOOD, GRAVELY.
THE KID WAS PROGRAMMED.

BUT BY WHO?

I'M YOU, A CULT LEADER
WHO SEDUCES A TRUE BELIEVER.

NOW, FOR ME,
IT'S NOT THAT BIG A DEAL,

BUT FOR HER...

SHE FEELS A DEEP,
SPIRITUAL CONNECTION.

"I'LL ALWAYS
BE THERE FOR YOU, EMMA."

SUCH CYNICISM
MUST BE SOUL-CRUSHING.

HOW CAN YOU LIVE THINKING
THAT THERE'S NO GRAND PURPOSE,

THAT -- THAT OUR LIVES
ARE MEANINGLESS,

AND THAT AFTER WE DIE,
THERE IS NOTHING?

HOW CAN I LIVE?

I'M A MAN.

I DON'T NEED FAIRY TALES
AND SCIENCE FICTION.

EMMA WANTED TO GO HOME,
SEE HER MOM, AND YOU SAID NO.

BUT SHE'S 21.

SHE HAS
HER OWN MIND NOW.

I'M YOU.

EMMA LEAVES,

EVERYONE WILL THINK WE STARTED
SLEEPING TOGETHER AGAIN.

ALL THOSE KIDS WALKING OUT
ON THOSE STUDENT LOANS.

I'M TOO BIG TO FAIL,

SO I WHISPER IN THE EAR
OF MY CREEPIEST FOLLOWER...

..."Emma will
infect us all."

WE GOT YOUR FINGERPRINTS
ON THE TEA MUG.

[ LAUGHS ]

NO, YOU DON'T.

NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,

I HAVE A SERMON
TO PREPARE FOR TOMORROW.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME.

BACKSTROM WENT TOO FAR
LYING ABOUT THE FINGERPRINTS.

THE ONLY WAY
THAT MUNDY KNOWS

THAT WE DON'T
HAVE THE FINGERPRINTS

IS THAT HE
WIPED THE MUG CLEAN.

I MEAN, HE MIGHT AS WELL
HAVE CONFESSED.

EXCEPT WITH A CONFESSION,
THE GUY USUALLY GOES TO JAIL.

YEAH. WELL...

THAT'S MY FAULT, JOHN.

AND HOW IS THAT
YOUR FAULT?

BACKSTROM'S JOB
IS TO SOLVE THE CRIME,

IT IS MY JOB TO MAKE SURE
THAT HE DOES SO

IN A WAY THAT
CAN HOLD UP IN COURT.

THAT'S A HORRIBLE JOB.

AND I AM GONNA GET
REALLY GOOD AT IT.

[ DOOR OPENS, CLOSES ]

[ FOOTSTEPS APPROACH ]

Amy: [ SCOFFS ]

STILL LIVING IN THE BILGES
OF AN OLD RIVER BARGE?

YOU USED TO THINK
IT WAS COOL.

OLD TIMES.

I GOT TO SAY,
YOU REALLY SPRUCED IT UP.

SOME OF THIS STUFF
IS ACTUALLY REALLY NICE.

I HAVE A QUEER TENANT.

SO, DID YOU COME BY TO REWARD ME
FOR CATCHING THE KILLER?

HMM?
SPENDING THE NIGHT?

OLD TIMES?

OH, EVERETT,
LIKE YOU TOLD THE CHIEF,

IT'S A CONFLICT
OF INTEREST.

OH, YOU AND CERVANTES
HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT ME, HUH?

IS THERE
A THREESOME IN THE WIND?

[ SCOFFS ]

EVERETT...

YOU'VE BEEN SERVED.

OH, COME ON.

SO, WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU THINK
THAT I DID WRONG?

I MEAN,
IN THE VISSER SHOOTING,

NOT IN OUR BREAKUP, IN WHICH I
HAD ABSOLUTELY NO FAULT AT ALL.

FORENSIC ANALYSIS SUGGESTS

THAT YOU SHOT YOURSELF
AFTER YOU SHOT VISSER.

FORENSICS
ALWAYS GETS IT WRONG.

OH, SAVE IT
FOR THE COMMITTEE.

I'M YOU --

EVERETT,
DON'T DO THAT.

PLEASE, LET'S JUST
TALK TO EACH OTHER.

[ SIGHS ]

YOU ALWAYS SAID
I SHOULDN'T BE A COP.

MM-HMM.

TOO SENSITIVE.

IN YOUR HEART,
YOU'RE AN ARTIST.

IN MY LIFE, I'M A COP,
AND I'M A WICKED GOOD ONE.

AND YOUR NEW JOB, YOU'RE GONNA
USE THIS TO TURN ME INTO WHAT?

INTO A-A POET?
A POTTER?

EVERETT, SWEETIE, THAT'S
THE TWISTED WAY YOU THINK --

YOU CAN'T
GET SOMEBODY ONE WAY,

YOU SIDLE AROUND
AND GET THEM ANOTHER WAY.

THAT'S YOUR TACTIC,
NOT MINE.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

THAT IS MY TACTIC.

[ CHUCKLES ]

[ DOOR SLAMS ]

DID YOU COME UP
WITH A REASON

TO ARREST MUNDY
FOR SOLICITING MURDER?

NO.

THEN WHY DID YOU CALL ME IN HERE
AT 2:00 IN THE MORNING?

'CAUSE I CAN'T READ
PIQUET'S HOT MESS.

THEN WHY
DIDN'T YOU CALL HER?

[ GRUNTS ]

I NEED TO KNOW
HOW OLD EMMA GERMAIN WAS

WHEN SHE STARTED
HER AFFAIR WITH MUNDY.

[ SIGHS ]

SIX YEARS AGO.

WOW.

HOW OLD WAS EMMA GERMAIN
SIX YEARS AGO?

[ GASPS ]
[ CHUCKLES ]

YOU CAN'T GET SOMEONE
ONE WAY,

YOU SIDLE AROUND
AND YOU GET THEM ANOTHER.

TACTICS, GRAVELY,
FROM THE BACKSTROM PLAYBOOK.

STATUTORY RAPE.

WHAT IS THE CRUELEST POSSIBLE
WAY THAT WE CAN DO THIS?

I AM THE CENTER.

THERE'S A REASON
FOR THESE BANNERS,

AND THERE'S A REASON
WHY ALL OF OUR TENETS --
[ DOOR OPENS ]

Gravely: PORTLAND POLICE.

YOU ARE UNDER ARREST
FOR STATUTORY RAPE.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT.

EVERYTHING YOU SAY

CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU
IN A COURT OF LAW.

* YOU BECAME ONE OF THE LONELY
[ CONGREGATION MURMURING ]

* WHEN ALL YOUR HEROES
TURNED TO DUST *

* STIRRING UP
GHOSTS OF COURAGE, BABY *

* THEY SEEM SO FAR AWAY

* YOU PICK UP THE PIECES,
AND YOU MOVE ALONG *

* YEAH

THIS IS A LOT OF LIES.
NO WONDER YOU CAN'T SLEEP.

NO DISRESPECT INTENDED, DR. DEB,
BUT BACKSTROM'S SLEEP PROBLEMS

HAVE NOTHING TO DO
WITH TELLING LIES.

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

ME?

'CAUSE I'M SICK OF BEING
WOKEN UP BY SCREAMING IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. FIX HIM.

IN YOUR OPINION, WHAT IS CAUSING
BACKSTROM'S SLEEP TROUBLES?

LACK OF DRUGS.

HE RECENTLY KILLED A MAN
BY SHOOTING HIM IN THE THROAT,

AND NOW HIS EX-FIANCéE

IS HEAD OF THE
CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.

IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING
THE SHOOTING WAS JUSTIFIED.

HE'S NOT GONNA HELP YOU
UNTIL YOU LEVEL WITH HIM.

AND YOU MIGHT AS WELL --

YOU'RE TOTALLY PROTECTED
BY DOCTOR/PATIENT PRIVILEGE.

GO.

THE SHOOTING
WAS NOT JUSTIFIED?

[ SIGHS ]

HE WAS GONNA KILL ME.

IF HE HAD GOTTEN
TO HIS GUN --

HE DIDN'T HAVE HIS GUN?

WE COLLIDED.
THE GUN WENT SKITTERING.

IF IT HADN'T,
I'D BE DEAD.

I TOLD HIM
TO FREEZE, BUT...

I HAD NO CHOICE.

I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER
PULLING THE TRIGGER.

BANG.

AND HE CHOKED.

THERE WAS BLOOD.

HE FELL IN THE RIVER,
I THREW THE GUN IN AFTER HIM.

SO, WHO SHOT YOU?

ME.

[ SIGHS ]
I SHOT ME...

BEFORE I SHOT HIM --
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

YOU NEED
TO GET SOME SLEEP.

[ PEN SCRIBBLING ]

HERE'S
YOUR PRESCRIPTION.

THANK YOU.

DETECTIVE BACKSTROM...

WE ARE MORE THAN MEAT.

WE ARE SPIRITUAL CREATURES

WHO NEED SOMETHING LARGER
THAN OURSELVES TO BELIEVE IN --

GOD, LOVE, ART.

ALL YOUR DIFFICULTIES
SPRING FROM DENYING THE FACT

THAT PART OF YOU
IS DIVINE,

THE PART OF YOU
THAT CONNECTS ALL OF US.

EVEN YOU
MUST FEED YOUR SOUL.

SPEAKING OF MEAT,

I HAVE A CRAVING
FOR SOME SHORT RIBS.
