Original subtitles

Previously on East New York...

I got a transfer out of Drug Enforcement,

and out of undercover work.

That's actually really great news.

Mm.

Tamika? Hey, Marvin?

I guess if we were to try it again,

we'd probably screw it up again, wouldn't we?

Probably.

Not a reason not to give it a try.

It's my shield. I'm gonna give it to Tamika.

Must mean things are going pretty good between you and her.

Mr. Azeroff, I don't think I can accompany you

to Dubai this weekend. I mean, I wish I could.

I mean, God knows I need the money.

$10,000 here. Just like that?

Just like that.

Heard you're having money problems.

My dad went in for his six-month checkup.

His numbers are bad. I'm sorry.

I feel so alone, Tommy.

You're not alone.

It may feel that way, but...

you're not.

♪ Babe. ♪ Ooh, a sound bath.

Wow.

Canyon Ranch? That's back on?

No, that is not back on...

A weekend there runs like $10,000.

I told you I got it covered.

You can't afford it.

Excuse me? How do you know?

'Cause I know how much you make

like how you know how much I make.

You know what?

I don't think I like that you're the grownup

in this relationship.

Oh, feel free to relieve me of the responsibility

any time you want. Hmm...

Touch.

Let me start by not being late to work.

Okay.

I'm gonna see you tonight?

I have one change of clothes left,

and it's in your room on your chair.

Well, I'm not giving you a dresser drawer of your own,

if that's what you're hinting at.

Too much commitment, huh? Way too much.

Way too...

Mm.

Girl.

Oof. Man, oh, man.

- You hunt? - Uh, no.

I'm supposed to go to Pakistan next month.

Hunt with falcons.

That right?

They go after these birds called bustards.

Let me tell you, when they dive-bomb one of them,

it is not a pretty picture.

Remember what I told you.

I know.

Hey, sorry, folks,

we got a COVID situation in here.

I'm gonna have to ask you to take the next one.

Okay?

I hate demonstrating privilege like that.

It's not like you want to inconvenience anyone. Nah.

I mean, what's the alternative, you know?

I got to pack into an elevator

with a bunch of people I don't even know?

Ah, they take the next one. No big thing. Yeah.

The People v. Isaac Jones, Your Honor.

This is the third time that Mr. Jones has been arrested

this calendar year.

That right, Mr. Nessen?

Sorry, Your Honor, I haven't had a chance to

familiarize myself with Mr. Jones's record.

I'm set to be in for the assigned public defender

who's out sick.

Uh, may I speak, Your Honor?

Go ahead.

Um...

One of those times I take

complete and total responsibility for.

The other was just

wrong-place wrong-time type situation,

which is no excuse and I deeply regret.

Your Honor,

both of these arrests were brought on by Mr. Jones

being physically abusive to his girlfriend.

As we will hear from Detective Morales,

who made the third arrest, Mr. Jones's girlfriend

required hospitalization.

Accordingly, we ask that bail be set

in the amount of $100,000. That to make a point?

No.

It's to increase the odds he'll show up for his court date.

He has ties in the community, a job...

and I don't believe he represents a flight risk.

And because I don't believe in incarcerating people

based on their bank accounts,

I'm releasing him on his own recognizance.

Move for a protective order for Mr. Jones's girlfriend,

Chantal Leopold.

I'll give you that. Motion granted.

We ain't even together no more, Your Honor.

She go her way, I go mine.

Protective order stands.

Diane, how do you stand it? How do you stand it?

You're the one that arrests them.

I don't have to listen to somebody argue

they should be let go. Hey, lady prosecutor.

Chantal say she want a protective order? Take a hike, Isaac.

How come you didn't ask for a protective order

for your own damn self?

Is that a threat? I wasn't talking to you.

I don't care if you were talking to me or not.

You threaten an ADA,

I'll lock your ass up right now.

Real charmer, isn't he?

And he's single.

Oh, my God.

Diane.

- What are we thinking? - Diane Gould.

Last seen leaving the Brooklyn DA's office

about 8:00 p.m. last night.

Crystal knew her.

I'm sorry.

One of her cases, a guy I collared,

had a court appearance yesterday.

Judge released him

pending trial,

granted a protective order for his ex-girlfriend.

The defendant came right up to the line of threatening Diane

outside the courtroom.

You know where we can find him?

Witnesses?

None so far.

What do we know about her?

Tough.

Funny.

I knew her when I was in Street Crime.

Anything about her personal life we can go on?

From what I knew, she didn't have a personal life.

Mostly, she worked.

ADA Wexler.

Hey, Chief. We're, uh, all very sorry for your loss, Paul.

Thanks for saying that, John. I appreciate it.

I... You know, as prosecutors, we're used to...

dealing with other people's tragedies,

but this one...

One of ours.

One of ours, as well.

Sir?

Thank you. Excuse me.

Yeah.

We need to get this one solved fast.

So...

what's that mean, huh?

"Person of interest"?

It means your exchange with ADA Gould yesterday

makes it necessary for us to

inquire as to your whereabouts for the past 24 hours.

'Cause a Black man standing up for himself

got to be guilty, right?

'Cause ADA Gould is dead.

I didn't have nothing to do with that.

Nobody said you did.

We know you were in court yesterday morning.

Where'd you go after that? I went to work.

Look, I swear to God I didn't have nothing to do with it.

Where you work?

A warehouse. Secaucus, New Jersey.

13516 Aviation Boulevard.

I don't need to tell you all

that the sooner an arrest can be made on this case, the better.

Which is usually the case.

Not like this. This case goes

to the heart of the system.

Yeah? KILLIAN: Uh...

Isaac Jones's alibi checks out.

His boss confirms he was working

in Jersey till 9:00 at night.

ME puts time of death at between 9:30 and 10:00.

We'll need to go through all of Diane's cases,

past and present.

Sarah in my office will give you whatever you need.

We'll also be canvassing

whatever neighborhoods she frequented.

Whatever overtime you need approved,

whatever anything you need,

if you are not getting it, please tell me.

I'll march straight into the PC's office

and make sure that you get it.

The killing of an ADA is a high enough priority,

so I don't think we'll have a problem, but... yeah.

♪ Three, two, one, oh ♪

♪ Yeah, I'm trained to go ♪

♪ Yeah, I'm trained to go, ready to work ♪

♪ So what you playing for? ♪

♪ You all talk and no show ♪

♪ I'm always trained to go ♪

♪ Trained to go. ♪

You ever deal with this ADA? Diane Gould?

No, never did.

It's pretty unusual for a prosecutor

to get murdered, isn't it? Well, it happens.

I'd be asking what she was doing

in that particularly desolate area.

She went for a run? Possibly.

Or was she meeting someone? Or did she have a secret life?

A secret life? What kind of secret life?

Kind you keep secret.

See, the detectives'll talk to people who knew her,

maybe people who grew up with her.

They'll go through where she lived,

go through her lockers, if she had any,

check her phone, bills, her credit card statements.

See, that's the thing about getting murdered...

Whatever you kept secret is going to get found out.

Truth.

This is what she wore to court.

Suits and heels.

It's hard to think of her

picking all this stuff out and...

now it's just gonna get boxed up and given away.

Yeah, well, you hate to think

you hate to think it was one of those court appearances

that got her killed.

Is it better to think she caught the eye of

some sick bastard when she went for a run?

I don't know.

Here.

I don't know which is better.

You know, we were the same age.

We both wanted to get into law enforcement.

She went to law school,

and I went to the police academy.

Yeah? You didn't know her from back then? - No.

But I spent a fair amount of time with her

preparing for her trials.

Yeah.

Any idea of what we're expecting to find in here?

I don't know, Tommy. Uh...

Something from one of her past cases, maybe.

Yeah.

Hey.

What are you doing?

I noticed the bottom of this lamp looks weird.

And I found this.

It's a listening device.

Why would there be a listening device here?

Do you have a theory as to Diane Gould's secret life?

I'll leave that to the detectives.

You ever want to be one? No, I never did.

I think you probably would've been good at it.

Everything with detectives

is after the fact.

The crime's been committed.

They come along, try to figure out

who's lying and who's telling the truth.

Now, I like to be in the midst of things

before anyone has had the chance

to figure out what lie they gonna tell.

So it's not the uniform?

I happen to love the way I look in a uniform.

You know. Look here.

It's a good look.

I knew I would catch you here.

How you doing, Andre? I'm good, Tamika. How you doing?

Is everything all right?

It was Briermere.

What was Briermere?

The farm stand where we got the pie that time.

I was racking my brain for the name of it.

Sit down and join us.

No, I'm due over at the food pantry.

So you come all the way over here to tell me

the name of the farm stand was Briermere?

That's right.

That's right.

This woman.

Babe...

Baby.

You know, I never asked you how she liked the...

the miniature shield you got her.

She liked it a lot. She, uh...

She teared up.

She teared up when I gave it to her.

You got a good one there, Marvin.

I know it. I just...

I just asked her to marry me.

♪ I'm tired ♪

♪ And broken ♪

♪ But I was ♪

♪ Still hoping... ♪ Taylor...

Yeah. find out when they're gonna fix

the leaking pipe under the dish pit,

and tell them the floor there's always soaking wet.

Hey.

Hey.

I got to get over to the hospital.

Is everything all right?

My father gets chemo today and I've got to sort

some things out with his insurance.

Called a car, but they said it would be 15 minutes

and then that one canceled,

so now they have to find me another one. Come on, I'll take you.

No, you're working. Come on, I got you here.

Grab your phone.

Captain?

Hey, I got something for you on that bug

you found in Diane's apartment.

You familiar with SIM cards?

Subscriber Identification Module cards.

Now, each one has a unique pin

that's used to connect to the Internet.

Now, what's interesting is you can see a whole list of

all the networks that they connect to.

This particular SIM card is connected to a network

that's associated with a phone number

belonging to a certain Michael C. Farris,

who I happen to know is a private investigator.

He used to have an office on Court Street.

He should come pay us a visit.

Hey, Daddy.

Hey, baby.

Tommy just wanted to come up and say hi, too.

Oh. Hey, Tom, how you doing?

I'm fine.

How are you doing is the question.

Well, whatever they're putting into me

is for sure taking something out of me.

That much I'll tell you.

Yeah, I bet.

This here's a no-complaining zone,

so I best not be heard to complain.

Just get my tough-luck ticket stamped

at the door.

Yeah.

You know, I sh... I should, uh, be heading back.

Um, take care, Chick.

Thanks for stopping by, Tommy. Yeah.

I'm happy to chat with you, Detective,

but on the issue of whether

listening devices were installed by me

or on my behalf...

neither confirm nor deny.

Hey. What'd I miss?

Mr. Farris was just explaining to me

that he can neither confirm nor deny

if he installed listening devices

- in the home of our murder victim. - Oh.

I have to preserve my clients' confidentiality.

If I'm being somewhat elusive,

I have little choice in the matter.

Well, you do understand

this is a homicide investigation

of an assistant district attorney.

Okay, look...

I'm not gonna shirk my responsibility here...

I did install the listening devices.

We need to know who hired you to do it.

And since you're not a lawyer,

there's no lawyer-client privilege.

My client could've really come forward himself.

Mi client could've figured

I was gonna be hauled in, put on the spot.

He could've stepped up.

But they don't do that.

They expect me to take the heat.

I work for rich people.

I work for powerful people.

Just when you think that they're your friends,

they make it clear as day

that you're still the help.

Good to know.

Mm.

Who's the client, Mr. Farris?

Who hired you to bug that apartment?

I was working for a King's County DA...

Bureau Chief Paul Wexler.

Mr. Wexler even gave me the key.

Yeah?

You got a minute, Captain? Come in.

By the way, congratulations are in order. What, you heard?

Yeah, I heard.

And although I don't know Tamika very well,

I applaud you on the big move.

- It's a big move. - Big move.

It's a move I made 37 years ago.

Anyway, what can I do you for?

Tamika wants to have a honeymoon of some sort,

and she wanted me to come find out

how many vacation days I had.

Mm-hmm.

You took a heavy rip this year

when you went chasing after Bentley's shooter.

I did. Mm-hmm.

Time records says I only have

three vacation days on the books.

All right, let me propose this:

You commit to working Saturdays this summer,

I'll front you eight more days. I don't expect you to

- go out on a limb for me, Captain. - No, no, no.

It's no big deal.

We'll do it on the DL or the QT

or whatever nomenclature sums it up.

But I get my Saturdays covered

and you get to go away with your bride.

Hey, what's the matter?

When I asked her to marry me,

I wanted it more than anything in the world.

Making it official, having people

stand up for me, going on a honeymoon,

at my age...

I'm feeling a little ridiculous.

I feel ridiculous sometimes.

The fact that I'm learning Italian...

At my age...

That I still have a stamp collection,

that next month I'm auditioning for

the Police Marching Band...

all of these things make me feel ridiculous.

You know what doesn't make me feel ridiculous?

The fact that I love my wife...

and my wife loves me.

So I'm gonna front you the eight days,

and you let me know whether or not

you want to go on your honeymoon.

I'm hoping you're about to tell me

you made a collar. Unfortunately not.

Do you know a Mike Farris? Of course I know him.

He said that you hired him

to bug Diane Gould's apartment.

Absolutely right.

That's a felony.

Not if you have a warrant,

and since I had reason to suspect that

Diane had been compromised, I had a warrant.

Compromised how?

Prosecutors have a certain amount of

discretionary authority, Detective,

but whether for money or love,

Diane might've used her authority inappropriately.

You're basing that on what?

A confidential informant who,

unfortunately, will have to remain confidential.

Might we be able to listen to those recordings?

First of all, as with all investigations,

it's on a need-to-know basis.

We qualify as need-to-know, Mr. Wexler.

We're investigating Ms. Gould's murder.

Absolutely. We're in agreement.

Therefore, let me go through the recordings

and as soon as I get them redacted,

I will send them right over to you.

This office will do anything in its power

to help you solve this murder. Believe me.

So you have

a woman in your office murdered,

the lead detectives in the case ask

for recordings of the phone conversations,

and you're really gonna worry about redacting?

Why?

Is it 'cause of some other case?

I mean, you'd think, if you're Wexler, there are no other cases

- that are more important. - Yeah.

Paul Wexler's a big man in the criminal justice system.

If we move forward with Wexler as our prime suspect,

it's got to be slow and methodical.

One foot in front of the other. No mistakes.

No, you got it, boss.

I'm hoping we're not right about this,

but if we are...

we only get one shot at this guy.

So let's make it count.

Hey.

Hey, Tommy Terrific.

What's doing? KILLIAN: I was in the neighborhood.

Thought I'd drop in. I got a question for you.

When you're getting fitted for a suit,

do they have to make a special accommodation

for your, for your gun?

Oh, I don't know.

I've never been fitted for a suit.

Wow. Let's let one of the benefits of you working for me

the chance to correct that injustice.

Sal'll take your measurements when he's done with me.

Yeah, yeah, speaking of benefits, you know,

one of your drivers said you got a great health plan.

- Yeah. That's what my accountant tells me. - Yeah.

Eh, you know, my girl's dad... he's been paying his premiums

for I don't know how many years.

Gets sick... Now, all of a sudden,

they're real particular about

what treatments they'll pay for,

what treatments they won't, you know.

Bobby, what do you think?

Uh, ho-ho.

Heart-stoppingly beautiful.

What does he think?

It's, um...

It's real nice.

What's his name?

Um, whose name?

Your girl's father. What's his name?

Oh, um, it's Chick Moynahan.

Well, leave it with Petra on your way outside.

Oh, hey...

Hey, did you have a chance to talk to

that FBI friend of yours for Darla?

Yeah, I ju... I just got to give him a call.

Give him a call.

Yeah.

- So, what's your story? - Hey, Farris.

I don't have a story.

The boss sends just you out to pick me up?

What is this, one riot one ranger?

They told me you were a law-abiding citizen, Mr. Farris.

I didn't think there was gonna be a problem.

And a problem there was not.

Come in, Mr. Farris.

You can have a seat.

Thanks.

Yesterday, there were just a couple of squad detectives

tending to my every need.

Today, I get a deputy inspector and a two-star chief.

Sometimes nothing conveys importance

quite like collar brass.

I didn't realize I was that important.

We need to hear what's on the recordings you made

in Diane Gould's apartment.

I told your detectives I turned them over to Wexler.

And kept a copy for yourself.

You're wrong, okay? I don't do that.

Well, if so, you'd be

the first private detective in history who doesn't.

Guys, I don't know what to tell you.

Get the recordings off Wexler, why don't you?

Well, for some reason,

Mr. Wexler is choosing not to provide them.

And if you don't provide us with them,

we're gonna head over to the U.S. Attorney

for the Eastern District's office,

and we're going to make what I know will be

a compelling case to obtain a search warrant,

a search warrant that will specify

every square inch of your office,

residence, vehicles and any other property

you have direct access to,

searched with a fine-tooth comb.

That's insane.

No judge would issue such a broad warrant.

Prosecutors don't get killed every day, Mr. Farris,

and so the Feds' approach will be a little bit more

flexible to Fourth Amendment considerations.

Since the search of your premises will be exhaustive,

you can expect that the confidentiality

of all of your clients

will be compromised, leading you to consider...

a different line of work.

Sarah...

Wexler is trading reduced sentences for sex.

Why won't you let this go, Diane?

We've worked with him for years.

You know he's not capable of that.

You refuse to even consider that it might be true.

Okay. Are any of these women willing to testify?

I'm working on it.

When you find one who'll testify... under oath...

That Paul Wexler traded reduced sentences for sex,

you let me know.

Until then, as far as I'm concerned, it never happened.

It's rape.

If Diane told him what she suspected

or what these women told her,

he'd have all the motive he needed to kill her.

Yeah, but these recordings are from a week ago.

Diane said nothing about going to Wexler.

Maybe she isn't the one who went to him.

I think you should go see Sarah McKay.

So, what did these recordings tell you?

One thing they told us was that

Diane was warning you about Wexler.

I think that says more about Diane than it does about Paul.

What does it say?

Diane was a good person,

but she could be erratic.

Uh-huh. Like when she told you

she believed Wexler was trading sex for lenient treatment?

Yes, for one. Uh, she was obsessed with that.

She told you she'd spoken to one of the women?

A drug addict who wouldn't go on the record.

Yeah, she told me.

What about the others?

I don't know of any others.

But you know about Wexler.

Yeah, I do know about Wexler,

because...

we've been in a relationship for almost two years.

His marriage is basically over.

He's just waiting till their daughter finishes high school.

And there was no

indication that he had this

quid pro quo going with criminal defendants?

No.

Look, I've made mistakes,

but I wouldn't be planning to spend

the rest of my life with someone capable of doing the things

you're suggesting he did.

I told that to Diane, repeatedly,

but for whatever reason,

she kept on in this delusion.

Any idea why she wouldn't let it go?

I got the feeling something had happened in her past.

One more question, Sarah.

Did you ever tell Wexler about Diane's accusations?

I did.

A week ago.

He thought it was absurd,

but he also was

somewhat concerned about her.

I think he made a plan for them to talk, next week sometime.

And then this.

I...

I really hope you find who's responsible.

Mm-hmm.

You know, the offer stands if you still want to use

my parent's place in St. Croix. Yeah?

When am I gonna do that?

When you go on your honeymoon.

You know,

it's possible that honeymoons are a bad idea.

Really? As a general rule?

No, I mean, people take them right after they get married,

which usually means

they haven't been together very long.

And then they put the added stress on themselves

of airports, and

luggage, and hotels,

and how much to tip the bellhop.

My parent's place is a condo. There is no bellhop.

I am just saying that traveling has

a higher degree of difficulty

than staying at home.

That's all I'm saying.

So stay home.

Stay home?

What you mean? And not get married?

No, no, no, no. Sandeford.

Sandeford. You still get married.

Of course you're getting married.

You just...

don't take a honeymoon.

You have answers for everything,

don't you?

Don't you? I mean, I guess.

Well, answer this, you paying for dinner?

What's up? Hey.

We went back over Diane's old case files.

This time, not looking for defendants with an axe to grind.

Just women whom Wexler had reduced charges

or sentencing recommendations.

I presume a number of those are legitimate.

Some are, but we found five cases that don't make sense.

B and C felonies reduced to misdemeanors.

Serious jail time cut to time served.

Each of those, the defendant was a woman of

limited means between 20 and 25.

No guys got that deal. Damn him.

None of the five women are at their original addresses.

Diane found one. So can we.

Meanwhile, let's put a little scare

in our highly esteemed District Attorney.

How's it going?

Thank you so much for coming.

Did you get something to eat?

Excuse me, Mr. Wexler.

We talk to you for a minute?

Can it wait?

Actually, it can't.

I'll be right back.

It's just a little business thing.

This better be good.

We'd like you to come

to the station house tomorrow, Mr. Wexler.

Why is that? Just to go over your whereabouts Tuesday night.

And why is that?

We have an idea

of what Diane might've been threatening you with.

Who said she was threatening me with anything? - Mm.

We think that she was threatening with one

or more rape prosecutions.

You're deranged.

We've been through Diane's files, Mr. Wexler.

Not the ones she kept at the office...

The ones she kept in her bedroom at home.

Uh-huh. We've read the notations

she made regarding the women with whom

she thought that you traded leniency for sex.

Not that rape would've been the easiest case to make,

but with Diane out of the picture,

you would've had that much less to worry about.

Why are you telling me this?

You wanted to be kept up-to-date on the investigation.

That's what we're doing.

Really? Mm-hmm.

Well, you haven't been all that cooperative, Mr. Wexler.

It does raise suspicion.

You have what you need to make an arrest, Detectives?

Hmm?

No, sir.

I'm gonna go back to enjoying my evening

with my wife and my friends.

Now, unless you have an appropriate change of attire,

and $1,500 per person,

I suggest that you go back to your squad room

in East New York and search for the perp

instead of making fools of yourselves here.

Good night.

Rude.

Thank you for taking the time to talk to us, Ms. Drew.

We were able to locate you

through the Department of Correctional Services.

I can only be down here for a few minutes.

Understandable. You don't want to talk to us

in front of the woman you work for.

Miss Dorothy's probably calling for me already.

We asked Cissy if what

Diane Gould accused Wexler of was true.

Is it?

I was in a bad spot. He took advantage of it.

What does that mean?

It means we had sex.

It means he raped you. I let him.

Mm. You'd been convicted

of fraud and embezzlement,

were facing a prison sentence

of three to five years,

and based on a recommendation from Mr. Wexler,

the judge sentenced you to time served.

I would have had my kids taken from me and put in foster care.

By holding his recommendation over your head,

Wexler raped you just as surely as if he'd been holding a gun.

I ain't saying I didn't do what they convicted me of.

It doesn't matter. If I hadn't stolen that money,

I wouldn't have been in that spot. Cissy,

it doesn't matter. Hey, look, we think Paul Wexler had something to do

with the murder of a woman

who threatened to expose what he did to you,

and, in all likelihood, other women, as well.

We're hoping you'll come forward and testify against him.

So he can have something to do with my murder?

If he gets convicted

of rape and murder,

he's never gonna see the light of day again, all right?

He will die in prison.

No, I seen his big office.

I've seen how many people he boss around.

Ain't nothing against y'all, but I don't think

you're gonna convict him of anything.

We can protect you, Cissy. No, ma'am.

You can't.

Come in.

Wexler's gone to the PC

about your detectives showing up last night.

Is this really a conversation that we should be having

in front of the deputy mayor? - You think

I'm unaware of these things, Inspector?

I'm sure you work hard

to stay current on police issues.

It's my responsibility to protect

the integrity of whatever criminal investigations

I'm overseeing.

Well, maybe that's the problem right there.

Maybe you shouldn't be overseeing them. Whoa.

That's up to Chief Suarez to determine.

I'd say, at the very minimum,

your detectives behaved inappropriately.

I take full responsibility for how my detectives behaved.

As well you might! Is the problem

that Wexler was questioned in a public place,

or that he was questioned at all?

Let's not dance around this.

- He wasn't just questioned. - Okay.

He was accused of rape.

Shall I quote to you the statutory definition of rape?

I didn't come here for a refresher course

in Criminal Law, Deputy Inspector.

One might be in order. All right, that's enough!

If there's probable cause for an arrest,

then we need to get the attorney general involved.

Regardless of that, your detectives need to refrain

from a campaign of character assassination

and public humiliation.

Yes, sir. Deputy Mayor Sharpe will

respect the boundaries between the police department

and City Hall and whatever conclusions are supported

by the weight of evidence.

Make sure she does the same.

Mr. Moynahan?

Hmm? Yes?

I'm Dr. Patel.

A personal friend of Tom Killian's

has asked me to take a look at your father's case.

There's a new protocol I'd like to discuss with you.

Would you both come with me, please?

Of course. Me?

Yeah, we're gonna go with the doctor, Dad. Okay.

Thank you. Oh.

You good? Yeah, yeah.

Okay. Okay.

Inspector Haywood? I am.

I'm Sarah McKay. I got a message you needed to see me?

Come in, Ms. McKay.

My condolences on the loss of your colleague,

Diane Gould.

Friend. Thank you.

Over the course of the investigation

of Diane's murder, some information

about Mr. Wexler has emerged

that I think you should know about.

Well, I'm not sure I know why I would need to know about it.

You told my detectives

you're in a relationship with Mr. Wexler.

I would think you would want to know about them.

Well, I don't.

Did you know a woman named Cissy Drew?

No. Your office

prosecuted her for embezzlement.

King's County prosecutes a lot of people

for a lot of things.

She told us that Mr. Wexler

recommended time served

in return for sex.

And you believe that?

I believe it.

More importantly,

Diane Gould believed it, which is what got her killed.

I don't know why people are drawn to these wild stories.

Is it because they like to bring other people down?

You know, feed on other people's misfortune?

It might be because they think they are true.

I'm due in court.

Excuse me.

♪ Whoo-ooh, hoo, ooh... ♪

You all right? Yeah, I'm all right.

This place looks busy.

Yeah, it definitely picking up.

Well, it's doing its thing, you know?

Yeah.

Thank you for doing what you did for my father.

There's no way the insurance companies

would have covered the treatments

that Dr. Patel is giving him.

Oh, I hope it makes a difference.

It makes a difference that he feels like

he's getting taken care of.

Good. Good, good, good.

And I feel the same way.

♪ Every little, little thing ♪

♪ Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh ♪

♪ We don't have to talk about it... ♪

Oh.

Hey. Hey.

Hi. Hey, Tamika.

I'm going up to the bar. Would you care for something?

Uh, yes, Sancerre, please.

You got it. Thanks. Thanks.

Huh. Andre's folks

have a condo in St. Croix,

and he says we can stay there.

It's beautiful. Have you been there?

No, but Andre's shown me pictures before.

Ah.

When were you thinking

we'd go there, Marvin?

Thinking we'd go there for our honeymoon.

That mean you still want to get married?

I've caused you to doubt it, haven't I?

Only because you hadn't mentioned it

for a couple of days.

Oh, he mentioned it to me.

Did he?

All those hours walking a foot post, you talk a lot.

Sometimes, you say what you're thinking.

Sometimes, you don't say what you're thinking,

but your partner... your partner knows anyway.

Tamika?

When I got shot,

I saw how much love

this guy had in his heart for me.

Oh, man. Hey, I'm serious.

And from listening to him,

I know how much love he has in his heart for you.

If I didn't mention it, maybe it was because

there was a part of me that didn't want anything to change,

because in my mind, everything was perfect,

and I didn't want to risk disappointing you,

or disagreeing with you. I didn't want to risk anything.

I didn't even want to breathe on it.

Oh.

You know it means something to me to be married, though, right?

Yes, I do.

If it means something to you, it means something to me.

I love you, Marvin.

And I love you.

Now, in case you were wondering, I happen

to be fully-credentialed

by the State of New York as a marital officiant.

Shall we?

What? Right here, now?

Y-Yeah.

Right-right here, right now.

Yes.

For God's sake, then, marry us.

All right, Bentley,

you at least 18 years of age?

I am. All right, stand up.

You're the witness. Go over there.

You... bridesmaid. Flank 'em. Got it.

Here you are, young lady.

There you go. Hey. Hey. Thank you.

Everybody. There's a wedding going on.

Oh, good.

Do you, Marvin Lucian Sandeford,

take this woman to be your lawfully-wedded wife?

To love, to cherish, to have and to hold,

in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer,

as long as you both shall live?

I do.

And do you, Tamika Martin,

take this man to be your lawfully-wedded husband?

Yeah.

Congratulations.

We did it!

Wexler's body's over here, boss.

Where is she?

Over there.

We recover a weapon?

Dropped right next to the body.

Let's go.

How'd it happen, Sarah?

I pressed him

about the women he was supposed to have taken advantage of.

I pressed him about...

the circumstances of Diane's death.

He became enraged

that I wouldn't take his answers at face value,

that I kept pressing him.

I did what I'd learned to do as a prosecutor.

Who suggested you meet here? I did.

I thought he wouldn't get violent

if we met in a public place

where there were cameras.

I was wrong about that.

What'd he do?

He put his hands around my neck,

and he started to choke me, and I wasn't going

to let him do to me what he did to Diane.

So I shot him.

♪ Rise again... ♪

Was it self-defense, Sarah?

I think it would qualify as self-defense, yes.

You understand we're going to have to arrest you now?

I do understand.

I'm familiar with the process.

♪ Rise... ♪

She says it was self-defense. You buy it?

A good prosecutor could probably punch holes in it.

But would they want to?

Would they just want to let it go?
