Give me a minute. I'll be right there.

[door closes]

[Tariq] You all right?

[sighs] Do I look like I'm all right?

I'm the reason why Zeke is dead.

I should have just left him
in North Carolina.

Damn. [sniffles]

Ah...

Nah, look, you don't got
to think of it that way.

Is there another way?

What could I do for you?

[sniffles, sighs]

Well, you was with me when
Zeke was killed, so in a way...

you're like the only person I can trust.

You can always trust me. Of course.

Lorenzo said he was looking
for Zeke's killer,

but he ain't come back with shit.

Look, I need to find out...

who killed Zeke and make him pay.

It's the only way
this is ever gonna go away.

What the hell are you doing

outside Dante Spears' penthouse?

[scoffs] Here's a better question.

- Who the fuck took that photo?
- Doesn't matter.

You just got back from a compulsory leave.

You're supposed to be riding a desk.

You do realize there is a link
between the murder

- of Carrie Milgram and--
- Carrie's suicide.

Do you honestly believe
that she killed herself?

Look, I get that you feel
partially responsible--

I fucking do! And so should you!

If I would have spent half the time

listening to her
that I spent accusing her,

- she might be alive right now.
- I know.

Then let's fucking do something about it.

Monet Tejada is the one
pulling all the strings.

She's behind Carrie's murder,
Zeke's murder,

and fucking Lauren Baldwin's murder.

Lauren Baldwin died in
a car accident, end of story.

Do you honestly believe that, too?

I believe it because it's true.

- Fuck off.
- Listen to what

I need you to do.

Go back to your desk.

You are not authorized
to investigate Monet Tejada.

Is that understood?

Please close the door on your way out.
