In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially
heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious
felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit.
These are their stories.
So, is this what being an SVU detective is?
Transporting bodily fluids?
We're not just picking up any bodily fluid.
That's what I'm saying. I mean, what we're getting is evidence.
Yeah, sure.
And it's also...
Would you have a problem holding blood?
No, you know I would.
Saliva? This ain't gonna be blood for saliva.
I don't think you appreciate the top-notch detective work that's gone
into this field trip, Griffin.
A rape suspect donated his sperm three years ago. We have a warrant to take
possession of said donation.
If we get a DNA match to the rape kit, one less sickle on the street. So, throw
up. And imagine it's the tiny scales of justice you're holding in here.
Okay, fine.
Why am I the one that's got to carry some suspect's crotch milk?
Because you're the new guy.
1066, we have an explosion at 129 West 18th. Send everybody.
Two SVU portables going in.
Damage was confined to the back part of the clinic.
Luckily, that part was clear when it happened. But wait, let me understand.
Why did SVU respond?
Oh, we were already on the premises.
Yeah, we were trying to collect a sample to match DNA from a rape kit.
What's your suspect's name?
Ted Simons.
You think he's good for a bomb?
It'll be a first for him, but never say never.
I thought it was another earthquake, like that one we had this summer, and
the patients were helping me up, and smoke was pouring from the back.
And what's located in the back?
Doctor's offices in the lab.
That would be where they store the donors from?
Yeah.
Why?
Excuse me. What happened? I need to get fast. This is my clinic at work. That's
Dr. Mukherjee.
She owns this place. It's her whole life. Okay, thank you.
Officer,
let her through, please.
I'm Captain Benson.
Thank you. Thank you so much. Oh, my God. Did anyone get hurt? No, no, no.
Nobody is seriously hurt here. Now, this is your clinic? Yes. I can't believe
someone would do this. What's going on? What happened? The FBI is working with
the possibility that somebody may have mistook your practice for an abortion
clinic.
No, that's never been what we've done here. We help people get pregnant. It's
strictly fertility treatment. Yeah, okay. So I'm going to put you together
with the FBI here, and then when you're done with them, I'd like to ask you a
few questions about the sperm donor, okay?
All clear.
How's it looking up there?
Single ordinance, homemade.
Any chance we could take a peek, see if our evidence is intact?
Oh, it's not.
How do you know? Were you guys looking to collect ash and dust?
So my entire lab?
Fire got everything.
It's 10,000 embryos.
I'm so sorry, Dr.
Mukherjee. I was going to do a procedure in an hour.
She'd been trying for five years.
We just got viable embryos.
What am I supposed to tell her?
I'm so sorry. Why don't we step over here?
I'm so sorry.
Well, you got your wish, Griff.
And take it all back.
FBI says the IED was in a bathroom next to the clinic's lab. A combination of
potassium perchlorate and aluminum flash powder shoved in a cardboard tube.
Shotgun shells for fragmentation. Fourth of July in a toilet room.
Well, Ted Simon sure is good at keeping his DNA under wraps. No matter what we
do, we can't seem to get it. Okay, so how long have we had eyes on his trash?
months guy must bleach his takeout containers haven't even gotten a hint of
saliva he does know the judge is being a stickler for the dna swap so if he
figured out that we're trying to get his dna from the clinic but planning a bomb
that's a huge change in his behavior so is going to prison okay i think it's
time to bring mr simons in for a chat
give
me a break
Transport an extra piece of trash in the back. Come on, it's my workplace.
I just thought of some new questions for you. I talked to you three times now,
giving you a statement. Can we just move on? I didn't know the girl. And this,
okay, is harassment.
Juan, what the heck?
Oh, shoot.
That was a very nice Juan.
Hey, do you need a ride?
This guy is a twerp.
We press him, I bet he folds in two minutes.
You remind me of someone.
Mr. Simmons.
Simons. I'm Captain Curry. This is Detective Velasco.
Water?
Where's Detective Bruno?
I can see you two bonded, but this isn't his case.
Do you prefer coffee or a soda?
Please. You sure you don't want any water?
We all know the second I take a drink, one of you is gonna swipe the bottle and
run him back there to test my DNA.
And what's so bad about that?
You cops frame people every day of the week.
I'm not guilty, and I'm not stupid, okay?
Ask Detective Bruno.
Again, this isn't his case. We're not here to talk about Katie Wilkins' rape.
You're not?
No.
Detective Bruno's closing that case. He's already got your DNA.
No, he doesn't. Oh, yes, he does.
from the fertility clinic roosevelt women's health you had a romantic affair
with a plastic cup 2022.
you don't have my permission for that it turns out we don't need your permission
yeah because we have a warrant detective bruno's already testing that sample as
we speak so we don't need to talk about that case we're here about the bomb you
said what bomb the one you made and set off this morning i don't I don't know
what you're talking about. You were trying to destroy evidence.
You went from a small rape charge to, what is it, arson?
No, no, no. You're going to be charged federally now.
But I didn't do anything. Malicious use of explosives, use of a weapon of mass
destruction, domestic terrorism. You're looking at multiple life sentences.
Oh, my God. Oh, my.
Okay, okay, please, please, listen.
I swear, I swear, I don't know what you're talking about.
How am I going to explain that to the feds?
Particularly when your sample comes back a master of DNA that was found inside
Katie Wilkins. Hey, feds, I know he lied about the rape, but, yeah, let's trust
him about the bomb.
Okay, okay, fine, fine.
Maybe I did sleep with the girl.
Maybe. Maybe not.
I was drunk, and you know what? She was coming on to me hard.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. He has always said he never met her. Until now. Let's see if
they can get him all the way.
But I did not bomb anything, all right?
Are there people who can account for your whereabouts yesterday and today?
Yes, yes.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're not believing this guy. You should.
Believe me, please.
I'll talk to the DA.
Come on.
But you gotta help me help you.
Write down every minute, every second of your past 48.
And put down the names and the contact info for anyone who can vouch for you.
Okay? Okay. Of course. Thank you.
Thank
you.
Wait. Wait.
I doubt that this weasel has the balls to bomb anything.
I'll call Agent Bradstreet, but if the FBI wants to look into him for the
bombing, they can find him at Rikers.
Captain, a call from Detective Gallagher. Homicide?
There's a body. They think it belongs to us.
Whole building's vacant.
Businesses moved out, never came back.
Work from home, video conferencing. Now everyone says AI is next.
It's getting to be the only time people will meet face-to-face is to commit
murder. What a world.
Heard you're on the fertility clinic bombing.
Yeah.
Real estate agent, founder.
ID said Mukherjee.
The bomb was meant for her.
All right, so, Dr.
Mukherjee. was 44 years old. She was married and owned and operated Roosevelt
Women's Health.
So I guess Ted Simons really is off the hook for the bombing.
Yeah, and we're on the hook for it. The IED was in the bathroom next to the lab.
We assumed the lab was the target, but on the other side was Dr. Mukherjee's
office. Right, but the ME thinks that she was killed someplace else and then
dumped. Now, the ligature marks on her neck indicate asphyxiation. There was no
murder weapon found.
But the...
bruising and the lacerations on her neck there's this particular spiral pattern
maybe exercise equipment with springs maybe so her phone was found on her
anything so we're still working on it okay so the husband husband is chris
clemente he's 44 years old they have no kids he is Been a master plumber for the
last 15 years. They've been married for 12.
Here's a wrinkle.
Mukherjee filed a summons with notice for divorce three months ago, and
Clemente moved to a studio apartment in Astoria last year.
Well, divorce means lawyer, and she may be dead, but maybe we can still get her
side of the story.
Anything you can tell us would be useful, Mr. Olsen.
I can't believe she's dead.
Was divorce contentious?
You know death does not free me from attorney-client privilege.
Can you tell us anything that doesn't violate privilege?
Yeah. My client wanted to settle. I wanted to settle.
The husband's attorney wanted to settle. But the loser of a husband, Chris
Clemente. Why did he refuse the settlement?
Because he's a jealous, drunken leech who wanted all of her money, making up
these outlandish claims about her fidelity.
Was she having an affair?
Come on.
How do you know?
Because I'm her divorce lawyer, I've seen every credit card bill, every bank
statement, every dollar that was spent and earned. Trust me, all Mukherjee did
was work. All Clemente did was drink.
You know he tried to choke out a guy after a bar fight, right?
She had to bail him out, even then, when they were separated.
When was that?
It's past January.
He's a plumber about to earn a doctor's inheritance.
Mr. Clemente.
Assuming this ain't about a clogged sink. Your wife, Dr. Ayala Mukherjee?
She accusing me of something?
She's dead.
She's... What?
You know anything about that?
How? What happened?
Sorry for your loss, but where were you yesterday?
I was on the job site all day.
When was the last time you spoke to or saw Dr. Mukherjee?
The last court appearance. Okay, and you two didn't really get along, did you?
Was the divorce amicable?
I've known her since college.
It's hard.
It's hard? Why?
What, because she was cheating on you?
No. I don't know. What, didn't you want more in alimony?
I mean, we used all my savings to open up her clinic.
I at least wanted to at least... She caught you.
You should get the lion's share, right?
Right? I didn't say that.
Do I need a lawyer?
If you want one, that is your right.
But for right now, we're just trying to get your side of the story.
I loved her.
And fine, yeah, we might have been having a really hard time, but I would
never, ever hurt her. You have one of those tools that you use to unclog a
drain?
You know, it's made of metal, you pull it out, it's in the shape of a spiral?
An auger.
Yeah. Can we look at it?
What do you mean?
Why? Because if you want us to think that you're being cooperative,
cooperate.
Let me find it. Don't touch anything. We need to take photos of it in place.
Gloves and bag are in the trunk.
Hey, what about those death threats she was getting?
Did anyone look into them?
She was getting death threats?
Life is a death sentence.
Your life ends with you. You were born without your consent.
Suicide is a gift. This is messed up. Mukherjee's clinic received these four
months ago.
They started showing up at her residence the past month. Never a return address.
I saw the snake and sword outside Mukherjee's office.
Yeah, it's a broken Ouroboros, the symbol of the antinatalism movement.
Yeah, so I've heard of that, and they believe that procreation is unethical.
All of it?
Well, they think life is suffering, and coming into existence only causes harm.
Well, how do you even... So the end game is just letting the human race go
extinct? Sounds like a death cult.
Death cult was a discord, which says that they're having protests tomorrow at
Astor Place, and Captain, an antinatalist bombed a fertility clinic
in Palm Springs last May.
Okay, where are we with the husband's auger? In the lab, waiting on results.
All right, so hit this protest and see if you can get anyone to talk.
What's up?
Chief of D's wants to see me.
Okay. Should you say why?
I think it's pretty obvious. She probably heard about the service I did
for the DA or her dog, Griffin, maybe saw something. I don't know what.
Maybe. But you're supposed to report to her and you didn't.
What, am I supposed to rat you out now?
I'm not a rat. Okay. I'm just gonna tell her... You're gonna tell her the truth.
And not a word otherwise.
I... Velasco, you were by the book.
You did what you did. I did what I did.
I can handle myself.
Okay?
Okay.
Excuse me, ladies. Life is a death sentence. It's not too late for you.
Ladies, consider condom next time.
Just a thought.
I put an end to pain. Help us. Sir, have you considered having kids and can I
convince you otherwise?
Help us put an end to pain. I help us put an end to pain. I'd love to. Can I
ask you some questions?
Come on.
We got a runner.
You're under arrest.
Look, Adrian, I'm just trying to understand what you do.
Your group hands out flyers in places of business, like, say, a fertility clinic.
Is handing out flyers illegal?
No, but it is illegal to bomb a fertility clinic.
Well, I didn't do that, but I am glad that it happened.
Are you?
The unborn get to stay unborn.
Nobody asked me if I wanted to exist, using up all of Earth's resources while
grinding my ass off to survive.
I wouldn't wish life on anybody.
What about death?
Would you wish death on Dr. Mukherjee?
Who's that?
She owned a clinic you guys seem real interested in.
Graffiti, flyers.
Okay, so?
Maybe this will jog your memory.
That's what she looked like.
Jeez. Dude.
Damn.
Was she killed?
You really don't know anything about him?
I'm not saying a thing until I know that Kirk is okay.
Okay, Kirk is here in the station.
He's fine.
He might have a concussion. Has a medical professional looked after him?
Because barreling him over was completely uncalled for.
Well, clearly you care a lot about Kirk, huh?
So? So nothing.
It's just nice to see.
Are you...
Two in a relationship?
I don't care how old he is. There's nothing wrong with him being older.
I didn't say that there was.
He's not like guys my age.
He's kind and compassionate and super smart, and he really believes in our
cause. So, how did you two meet?
Reddit.
He wanted to learn more about antinatalism, and he just went all in.
I mean, now he believes in it more than anyone else I know.
Enough to murder someone?
Because that's why we're here.
We're investigating a murder.
You know he's in the Triple Nine Society?
That's better than Mensa.
Wow, that is smart.
And he ran track in high school. He set the record for the 400 that still stands
today.
Well, then it's kind of amazing that he...
Couldn't outrun my detectives.
Okay, one of these things is not like the other. What's a 53-year-old man
doing hanging out with a bunch of 20-year-olds?
Do you really need to ask?
Nope. Mr. Kirk Young has a record of 10 disorderly conducts over a span of 20
years.
Okay, you and with me...
Go get Loudon.
Your rap sheet, Mr. Young.
Okay, so we have 2003 in front of City Hall, part of a group of
heteros for marriage equality.
2014, now the West Side Highway for Black Lives Matter.
And then in 2019, we're back at City Hall for... Prison abolition?
Well, you certainly get around, don't you?
Look, I know I've got one outstanding disorderly conduct fine.
I'll happily pay it.
Yeah, that's 2024.
Right, Google headquarters.
The movement for technological minimalism?
Well, I live out of a Winnebago, so I don't get to check my PO box that often.
Right, right.
So... All these other times, I see that you were taken into custody without
incident, but this time you ran. Why is that?
I didn't realize you were cops. But Captain Curry identified herself. Try
again. Yeah, I just thought it was a false flag operation.
False flag operation?
Okay. All right, Mr. Young.
Do you want to know what I think?
I don't think that you care about activism.
I don't think that you care about change or...
I think that you like him, Young.
I think that you're in it not for the cause, but you're in it for the girls.
But the good news for you is that is not a crime.
So, um, as soon as Mr.
Young pays his outstanding disorderly, he's free to go.
All right.
Looked this over, signed on the mark spots.
So I, uh, I just... I gotta ask you, is it true? She's a cute girl?
She's your girlfriend?
Lawton? Yeah.
Yeah. I know her.
Wow. Seriously, man.
Seriously, congratulations.
Thanks.
She's hot.
Yeah, I mean, you know, I...
I enlisted with the academy for the dress blues, the gun, the badge, the
status, but you, man, you got the game figured out. You know what? You have to
initial these pages, too. Yeah.
Well, let's just say that social activism attracts a youthful passion.
Sure, yeah.
I bet these, uh, these, like, rebellious type girls, I bet they're super spirited
in and out of their say.
You'd be surprised.
My advice?
You need to check out a Blue Lives Matter protest.
Tons of badge bunnies. They'll be lining up to lick your nightstick.
Yeah.
Which cause has the hottest girls?
You know, that's a very good question. I want to say it's a toss-up between pro
-choice and pro-life.
He did it.
He killed Autumn.
Sorry, what?
Who was Autumn?
Autumn was the purest person I ever knew.
She was my TA in college.
She introduced me to antinatalism.
She dedicated her life to not hurting a soul. She was vegan. She would literally
sweep her walkway so that you wouldn't step on the ants.
So why did Kirk kill her?
Because she wanted him to.
Did she tell you that?
No, Kirk did.
They used to talk for hours, all night.
Kirk said he was like a therapist for her.
Autumn had anxiety and depression, which makes sense. There's no other rational
way to react to this world.
Kirk said that she asked him to help her end her suffering.
Okay, so what exactly did Kirk do?
Shot her in the head while she was asleep.
Were you present when he shot her? He said I couldn't handle it.
But he said it was peaceful, that she didn't even know.
Am I in trouble?
What did he do with the body?
He left it in a park in the Bronx.
Loudon, have you ever considered the possibility that he... that he made up
this story?
And maybe he killed her for his own reasons?
Well, one thing bugged me.
What?
If you knew someone was coming to kill you, how could you ever fall asleep?
Got some frozen treat.
Kirk Young, get up.
What? You're under arrest for the murder of Autumn Diaz. What are you talking
about? Well, we found your gun.
We also found a Jane Doe in the morgue matching Autumn's description.
Oh, look.
Autumn wanted to die.
I was helping her out. She wrote me a letter. I don't need to see the letter
because I saw the autopsy report.
Autumn was pregnant.
But I'm sure that you knew that. I mean, how can you date a new young
antinatalist girlfriend when your current one is about to have your baby?
Let's go.
So that's one murder solved?
Just not the one we're looking for. His alibi checks out.
Me and Lawton were up in Beek in the day Mukherjee was killed.
Yeah?
Detective Velasco, thanks for joining us.
I believe you know DEA agents Hill and Prune already?
Yo, Joe.
Good seeing you.
Make yourself comfortable.
Can you close the door behind you?
Listen, Chief.
We're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I don't know what they told you, but... Detective Velasco, there's nothing for
you to worry about.
We're just going to have a chat.
Share our feelings.
See if we have the same goals and desires. Easy peasy.
I have to be honest. This is one of the best parts of my job.
Helping everyone achieve their mutual goals.
So thank you. You've actually made my day.
The door?
Hey, any word on Mukherjee's ex-husband?
Chris Clemente's plumbing auger was completely clean. No blood, skin, no
trace of any chemical that would have been used to clean. Plus, the spiral
pattern doesn't quite match the one on Dr. Mukherjee's throat.
Taru unlocked Mukherjee's phone.
Anything? Well, there's certainly an oddity in her calendar. She was
scheduled to meet her divorce lawyer the same day that she was killed. What's
weird about that?
Well, it wasn't Mark Olsen. Someone named Lindsey Krueger.
She has a second divorce lawyer?
I had a preliminary phone call with Dr. Mukherjee. When Shino showed our
meeting, I assumed she just had a change of heart. About what?
Hiring me.
Were you aware she was already working with another lawyer?
Very much so, but Dr. Mukherjee was ready to settle and move on with her
life. Well, couldn't Mark Olson do that?
Do you know what banging and bailing is?
Yeah, when a lawyer drags out a case to bail more hours.
And in a divorce, the way to do that is to advocate an extremely adversarial
approach to keep the meter running.
So you're saying Olsen was the one refusing to settle?
Who the hell are you?
Alec Henry.
The Henry in Stafford Spitz Henry.
And yourselves?
You want to explain why Mark Olsen was in your office the other day?
Oh, yeah.
I let Marky use the space from time to time.
Professional courtesy.
He doesn't have an office?
Honestly, his new digs are a hellhole.
So the guy's office is a literal block from where Mukherjee's body was found.
Financial records show multiple unpaid credit cards and a townhouse in Park
Slope that was foreclosed on.
So we're really aiming at a lawyer for the murder of his own client? Look, at
the very least, he had no problems misleading the detectives who were
looking into his client's death.
We need a background on him, and we don't want to raise any alarms, you
know?
Yeah, I know. Look, just because he's a lawyer doesn't make him as morally
upstanding as you are.
Let me do some digging. I'll see what I can find out.
Olsen used to be the boogeyman in these halls.
Nowadays, half the time, he doesn't even show up.
What happened to him?
His nose got redder.
It's just a theory, but I think he fell off the wagon and took every bottle of
McKellen with him on the way down.
Thanks for meeting me, Judge.
What can you tell me about the Mukherjee case?
Delay after delay, and all because of Olsen.
Talk about incompetence.
I told him I was on the verge of sanctioning him.
Plus, I suggested that poor woman find someone else to represent her.
And to think five years ago, I used Olsen for my own divorce.
Yes, Judge. What's the matter? What did Olsen do? I can't tell you that.
This guy's credibility's in the toilet, but it gets so much worse than that. He
put a $100,000 lien on Mukherjee's property for bogus unpaid legal bills.
And when her estate is sold? Gets a six-figure payday. Okay. I think it's
time for a warrant.
You hate to see it.
Captain, can I have a word?
Yeah.
All right, out with it.
The DEA asked the Chief of D's if they can have me.
Okay, to do more undercover work.
Yeah.
But in San Diego.
In San Diego?
Chief thinks it's a good idea.
What do you think?
Me? Yeah, you.
I mean, I don't like the way they went over our heads.
But?
This guy they're after.
He's a bad dude.
He runs packs in Tijuana.
He just murdered a witness that was going to testify against him, along with
her husband and her kids.
Well, that sounds like somebody needs to take him down.
I know.
With Finn out, I don't want to be the one who leaves you empty-handed.
Velasco, I haven't stayed with SVU out of loyalty.
I would never expect anyone to do that.
I'm here because I think that it's the place that I can do the most good.
You need to be where you can do the most good.
I gotta tell you, this last job I did for them, I didn't sleep for four
nights.
I was up.
And I wasn't scared. It was just like, I was buzzed.
You know, I was excited.
Lenny better get some rest.
Because I don't think you're going to get a whole lot of it on the West Coast.
Mark Olson. We have a warrant to search your office.
Boys, what is this?
All right.
Come on, boys.
Is this necessary?
Bingo.
I bet this particular spiral pad is a match.
All right, boys, let's talk.
Sure. Well, you know, you have the right to remain silent. And anything you say
can and will be used against you in a court of law.
A lawyer killing his own client.
Just when I think that I've seen everything, the world proves me wrong.
You okay?
How do you feel when you have to take down a dirty cop?
It's the worst.
Bust your ass to get through law school, pass the bar.
Do all this work so you, what, you can take advantage of somebody?
Initial tests came back. The auger we found in the office was cleaned with
bleach. So we can't prove it's the actual murder weapon. Okay. But spiral
pattern lines up with the bruising on Mukherjee's throat.
Okay, got it. Are you gonna play this interrogation?
Not an interrogation.
It's a trial.
Sonny, you know I used to work for the Staten Island DA's office, yeah?
Jimmy Silverberg's a good friend of mine. Oh, yeah?
And you're certain you don't want a lawyer?
I want a lawyer. I am a lawyer.
Good. Sit down.
Because I need some advice, lawyer to lawyer.
I'm going to present my case to you, and I want you to tell me if you think I got
a shot at a conviction.
You guys show me your evidence.
Okay, sure. I'll play along.
All right.
So, the defendant, this guy used to be a star in his field, but he caught some
bad breaks at work, went through a divorce, and he fell on hard times.
So he's human, aren't we all?
Yeah. So he turns to drugs.
We found cocaine in his office and his apartment, which we just searched.
Come on. It's New York City.
He finds traces of powder literally anywhere.
The drugs for this guy, they just make his work suffer even more, so that's a
catch-22, because now he needs more money to pay for the drugs. So what he
does is he starts delaying cases, either because he's too busy getting high or
because he needs to get as much money as he can from his clients.
I'd heard such big things about you, Sonny, but what you're doing right now
is performative slander. I don't see relevance.
I don't see substance.
The victim.
The victim who trusted the defendant.
Her lawyer.
She wanted to settle the divorce.
But that was a big problem for the defendant because he needed her money.
And even worse, if she would have switched to another lawyer, then his
malfeasance would be uncovered and he was going to lose his license and the
defendant, he couldn't let that happen.
So you know what he does?
He sees a protest outside the victim's fertility clinic.
He goes, there, there's some suckers to frame.
And he Googles.
Googles. How to make a bomb. But this guy, I'm telling you, nothing ever goes
this guy's way.
When that doesn't work out, he goes to plan B.
Frame the jealous husband.
Establishing method?
Motive? Fair enough.
Sonny, a good story is not the same.
As a good case, we retrieved the murder weapon from your office, and it matches
the bruises on the victim's neck.
You're referring to a common household tool?
You know, let me pose some questions of my own. Yeah?
You mind?
Isn't it true that your detectives first looked into a Chris Clemente?
Oh, you gotta be kidding me. The husband who was trying to get more money out of
the victim.
Why exactly was he ruled out?
And then did they interrogate a group of French extremists who actually did
threaten the victim?
Your Honor, I think what we have here is a fishing expedition by a department who
is clearly trying to keep their stats up, is what I would say.
Easy to understand and honest.
But, you know, what do I know?
What you got come on don't do don't do this dog and pony show with me
You
messed
up you clean the auger You even cleaned the couch in your office.
But as in court, such in life, you got no follow-through.
We found stains inside the couch cushions.
And those stains just tested positive for Mark Gagee's blood.
You washed the sleep covers, but you didn't bother about the cushions. And
that, that fits every story that I've heard about you like a glove.
Too lazy to do the job.
in full.
Sound about right, Counselor?
Okay, lawyer to lawyer.
Let's cut a deal.
I don't recall inviting you over here for my Love Island watch party.
How's PT going?
But you came here to nurse me? At least my last girl was clean-shaven.
You know, I was thinking about that time that we talked about how you and I both
did, like, bad things, and we tried to balance out the scales.
Mm-hmm.
Well, I realized something.
I realized that when I'm in here, when I'm doing the job, I don't think about
the scale anymore.
Like, I don't think about myself at all.
You going somewhere?
I just want to say thank you for everything.
Velasco.
You don't have to say a word.
I already know.
