[Gunshots]

[Siren blaring]

[Sobbing] What're we gonna do?

- Annabeth. - What's going on?

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

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

Is there anything I can do, Sarah?

Cindy's asked us to pray with her.

Okay.

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

[Cell phone ringing]

Hi, Jimmy. I'm here right now.

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

The suspect is a drug dealer named Edward Wallace.

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

- He was ambushed. - Is Wallace in custody?

'He's holed up in his house.'

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

I need you to change the judge's mind.

Okay, I'm on my way.

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

Judge Abraham schlicter.

The clown loves criminals, simple as that.

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

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

Prosecutor's on the way to court now.

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

Myers told his unit he was meeting Wallace at midnight.

Residents heard gunshots at 12:07.

Myers told his unit he was meeting Wallace

behind the sorano bros warehouse. Where was he killed?

Behind the sorano bros warehouse.

Those the guys from Myers' unit?

Narcotics task force, yeah.

You get affidavits from them?

I swore out the warrant on my own affidavit.

With anyone but schlicter, that would have been enough.

Annabeth. Okay, here's the deal.

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

'and fax them to you at the courthouse.'

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

I was a defense attorney.

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

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

Their partner was just killed.

What about the 380 casings recovered at the scene?

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

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

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

They are with me under the circumstances.

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

until he's arrested.

They could build a campfire and sing "Kumbaya."

Their affidavits don't change my decision.

You're forcing me to call judge Jenkins.

That's judge shopping. It's unethical.

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

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

I didn't do nothin'!

You're gonna burn for this!

I didn't do nothin'!

Yeah. I ain't no cop killer.

- You know him? - Brian Flynn.

Myers' partner.

Alright, ten minutes. Let them know you care.

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

Mrs. Myers. James conlon.

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

Thank you.

Mr. Conlon, Chris veeder.

I was Jason's colleague and friend.

- My wife, Samantha. - Mr. Conlon.

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

I can assure you all my office will do everything

it can to convict his killer.

We are supporting you in your upcoming campaign.

- We? - The police and their families.

Well, thank you.

- We need to talk. - After the briefing.

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

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

Is there a problem?

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

What is it?

Crime techs found this note

in Myers' car this morning.

Kellie with an i-e.

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

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

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

The $300 he withdrew from an atm just before midnight

on the way to the meet might suggest why.

- What are you suggesting? - A prostitute.

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

Aside from money anything else to suggest this was illicit?

Myers told his partner he was meetin' an informant.

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

'This complicates the case.'

this complicates everything.

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

We're heroes for convicting the turd who did it

column b, the kellie question.

Did she meet him? If so, why?

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

Was she his girlfriend, a prostitute

an informant, the killer?

Until we answer these questions

we can't prosecute Wallace for the crime

go ahead. Tell her what you told me.

She already did me once.

You remember, don't you?

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

Where were you last night?

Playing Nintendo with my cousin.

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

He's available for a deposition at your convenience.

Why were the bullets in your house?

They weren't mine.

Jury's not gonna believe that

and when ballistics matches them

to the casings from the scene, you're done

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

they could've easily put the bullets there.

Is that your defense? He was framed?

Those cops decided Mr. Wallace was guilty

and then found a way to prove it.

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

Myers forced Wallace to choose between years in jail

on the drug charge and informing on a kingpin.

He was desperate not to do either.

It's a good story.

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

'You have no eyewitnesses, no murder weapon'

and no way to counter a credible alibi.

Nintendo with cousin Darren, please.

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

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

But catch and convict a cop killer?

I mean, that's something to campaign on.

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

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

Detective Flynn, ed Williams.

Uh, we met at the scene.

Correct.

I knew Jason Myers. He was a good guy

best partner I ever had. Or ever will.

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

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

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

Request them from the drug prosecutors in your office.

I'll do that.

Just one question

was it unusual for Myers

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

Not really.

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

The way we handle our informants is pretty complicated.

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

- You ed? - Yeah

ed Williams, prosecutor's office?

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

'You read the Bible?'

yeah, occasionally.

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

your guys don't much wanna talk to me.

Sorry about that.

You know how it can get, cops and prosecutors?

How can we help?

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

Do you know who this kellie might be?

How's she pertinent?

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

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

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

I did, and I agree with you.

But we still have to consider the possibility

she's a prostitute.

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

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

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

Myers was new to the unit. Maybe...

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

Look, I understand you need to knock down

the prostitute theory before the trial

but... there's nothing to it.

He went there to meet Wallace.

All my guys will testify to that.

Wallace's attorney is saying your unit planted

the 380 ammo in Wallace's house

to frame him for Myers' murder.

Of course, he is.

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

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

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

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

His widow is like a sister to me.

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

by some... Lawyer

well, the sooner I find this kellie

the sooner I can put the rumors to rest.

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

'Jason just got a phone call.'

said it was Flynn, that they needed to do something

for work later that night.

Did you ask what?

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

I was used to it.

How has your relationship been?

Why ask about that?

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

Wallace's lawyer will find out about that

and about the note we found.

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

Then, don't ask these questions.

You know what terrified me when my husband died?

Cleaning out his closet.

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

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

And I did.

An invoice from a lumber store.

The girl who wrote it put a big heart

beside her name, Caroline.

What did you do?

Haley and I went shopping for some bookshelves.

- And? - And Caroline was beautiful.

I felt sick.

I went ahead and bought the shelves.

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

And signed it with a heart?

That's just how she signed her invoices.

Jason was irritable last week.

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

I didn't ask.

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

Cindy.

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

I would know that.

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

She needs a break.

You need to leave.

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

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

I couldn't say anything to you inside.

What are you talking about?

Keep looking pissed off while we talk.

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

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

I have my doubts this Wallace punk was the shooter.

- Why? - Jason and I were close.

I'm godfather to his kid.

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

Okay. So?

He spent three years trying to get into it.

Something must've happened to make him wanna leave.

But you don't know what.

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

Maybe something made him see the light.

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

I know Jason wasn't.

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

- Corrupt how? - Steal and deal.

They're drug cops. Use your imagination

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

Since I'm risking my career talking to you

it might be worth looking into.

You can investigate this. I can't.

I'm gonna walk away now.

Bass hill lodge, that's where they went.

You did a great job looking pissed off.

It wasn't that hard.

Yeah, I remember the face.

He's a cop.

Until he was murdered two days ago.

Oh, that's too bad.

Do you remember the group he was with?

Yeah.

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

Two days of huntin' and no feathers.

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

- Like what? - An argument?

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

- Fistfight? - No, just cussin'.

Loud though. Had to ask them to can it.

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

What do you mean they were with a girl?

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

Uh, more like a party girl, you know

uh, young, pretty, blonde.

You got her name?

Kellie. Didn't get the last name

but, uh, I got a picture of her

if that'll help you.

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

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

Meet kellie Lawson. They lied to us.

Veeder and Myers argued about her on the hunting trip.

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

something annabeth asked me to check out.

Police found an eyewitness.

She says she saw Wallace shoot detective Myers.

Really? How'd they find her?

They said veeder's unit used street contacts.

That's convenient.

- What's the problem? - Depose her.

See how credible she seems to you.

The guy was just sitting in his car.

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

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

so you were on the east side of the warehouse?

I don't know sides by east-west.

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

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

That's right I remember that now.

The back of the car. Taillights.

Detective Logan lost the picture you ID'ed.

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

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

Just identify the man that you saw.

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

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

Veeder and his guys put her up to it.

- Why? - They lied to us about kellie.

They hid the fight at the motel.

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

Mrs. Myers told you that?

She knew he was unhappy.

So you think they're framing Wallace

because they killed Myers?

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

Maybe Myers threatened to expose that.

Do you have evidence to support this theory?

Uh... no.

If we subpoenaed internal affairs records

maybe we could find something.

That would make the focus of this investigation

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

Look, I'm not going on a fishing expedition

against the police force based on speculation.

You need to find this girl kellie.

The clock's running out on Wallace.

We either need to charge him or release him.

Myers arrested Wallace for drug possession.

Did he ever charge him?

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

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

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

Prosecuting Wallace would be better for you politically

than accusing these cops of framing him or worse.

You're absolutely right.

As a prosecutor, not a politician

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

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

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

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

Flynn.

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

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

That Myers wanted to leave.

My union rep is Tony white.

He was your friend, Flynn. Your partner.

Doesn't that mean anything to you?

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

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

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

Just do your job, Williams.

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

Matt, we're spinning our wheels.

I need something to push this case forward.

Alright, what did you find out?

We looked into the hunting trip.

Veeder and Myers had a fight apparently about a girl.

That's it? They fought about a girl?

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

What about looking into veeder's unit?

My boss won't subpoena internal affairs records.

Because he's runnin' for office.

Because if we investigated the unit

and they didn't make a corruptions case

he'll not try to make one himself.

That could change once we find this girl.

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

You know what I know.

Right now all we have is this girl.

We've been checking prostitution arrests

'missing persons reports'

'youth shelters all over town.'

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

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

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

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

up and left last week in a big rush.

Is she in trouble?

We just need to talk to her.

Did you know she was involved with older men?

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

So did you know she was involved with older men?

You mean romantically?

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

That surprises me. She was one of our successes.

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

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

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

Were you concerned enough to call the police?

I didn't have to call them.

I told our director and she told her husband.

- Your director? - Samantha veeder.

Her husband's a detective. You know him?

[Knock on door]

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

I wanna subpoena the greenwood youth shelter.

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

I pulled their nonprofit filing papers.

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

Mrs. Veeder's the executive director.

Why is that so obviously wrong?

These ladies aren't serving soup.

They're executives making very, very good salaries.

- How much? - I don't know.

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

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

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

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

You target cops, they target us.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I looked everywhere. Gotta get home to the babysitter.

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

- Yeah. - Thank you.

Thanks, Maureen.

See you tomorrow.

[Dramatic music]

Patricia?

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

(Annabeth) 'Oh.'

hi, Haley. Oh.

The front door was open.

- That's weird - did you lock it?

- I thought I did. - Where were you?

Giving Haley a bath.

Oh, honey.

Oh.

(Patricia) 'What's wrong?'

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

my keys.

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

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

Veeder's unit's sending you a message.

Cocky bastards.

I feel silly calling you.

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

I need to know how serious.

Are they just toying or are we in real danger?

Veeder know you're investigating him?

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

He must have told veeder.

If they killed Jason, they'll kill you.

Oh, my god.

Will your office provide protection?

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

Of course.

They still give prosecutors guns?

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

Learn.

Maybe.

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

No, it's late.

I don't live far.

- I wanna tell my boss. - No.

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

No!

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

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

'I'm not going further than that.'

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

Okay, I understand.

I'm sorry.

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

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

On the couch.

Yeah.

I'll get you some blankets.

Some watchdog.

- Sleep well? - Yeah.

Thanks.

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

I'll sneak out the back.

Thanks.

What can I do for you, Greg?

Somebody put Wallace in the infirmary last night.

They broke his nose and two ribs.

- Who? - He won't say.

Look, holding Wallace on this possession charge is bull.

Either indict him for murder, so I can defend him

or let him make bail.

I can get Wallace into protective custody

but the charge is conlon's decision.

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

He shouldn't be getting his ass beaten

to maintain conlon's poll numbers.

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

This is not about race, Greg.

Then, just do what's right.

What happened to your keys?

Someone left them in my kitchen.

A little message from veeder's unit.

Don't worry, I already told conlon

to talk to ed about security.

- Who's that? - Officer Wayne Michaels.

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

- Kellie Lawson. - When?

Three years ago.

Michaels was 45 at the time, kellie was 15.

'And living at the greenwood shelter.'

does this connect to the murder?

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

'Two weeks before kellie accused him'

of sleeping with her he tried to transfer out.

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

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

Well, Michaels admitted he had sex with kellie.

He claimed veeder introduced him to her at the shelter.

Creepy.

Thanks, mom.

It was veeder's way of keeping us loyal.

He called it drinking the cup.

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

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

and they said to him we are able."

That's Jesus about to die for god.

Drinkin' the cup means he's gonna sit

at the right hand of god and veeder...

Who is god?

He was to us.

So you had sex with kellie Lawson to please veeder?

He told me she was 18.

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

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

for the rest of my life.

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

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

But it's crazy how much I revered him.

'By the time I understood what was going on'

I was in it up to my hips.

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

to skim a few hundred here and there.

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

workin' at greenwood.

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

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

Blowin' in your ear about this and that

tryin' to find out what floats your boat.

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

An acolyte, a follower.

'So he's plantin' the seed'

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

the unforgivable thing.

The minute he introduced me to kellie

I knew we were gonna have sex.

Veeder wanted it, so I wanted it.

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

You drank the cup.

The minute you do that..

Veeder owns you.

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

Oh, yeah.

You've to tell us their secrets.

Knowledge is power.

Veeder kept most of it to himself.

Only one I could really give you is Flynn.

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

I know you guys steal from dealers.

And I know where Sarah's salary comes from.

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

So why would I talk to you?

Because I know about drinking the cup.

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

And what would that be?

Juliet Reynolds.

You wouldn't.

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

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

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

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

You would ruin my family.

To convict veeder for murder, yes.

He killed your partner.

I think you'd wanna help me convict him.

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

Give me another way to convict veeder.

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

Veeder pushed kellie on Jason to corrupt him

but Jason was disgusted.

Said veeder was treating kellie like a whore.

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

- They fought? - It got ugly.

Afterwards Jason said he would help kellie

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

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

Do you know what happened to kellie?

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

Jason was waiting for her when veeder..

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

Between the crime scene and his house.

Can we connect the gun to veeder?

I don't... Maybe.

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

Okay. Show us where it is.

Veeder's DNA is on the firing pin.

Myers' blood is spattered inside the barrel.

How'd you find it?

Annabeth asked crime tech to search the storm drains

between veeder's house and the crime scene.

Did you ask them to search anywhere else?

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

Lucky, huh?

You have been ahead of us this whole case.

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

Flynn, he told me about the gun

to avoid testifying against veeder.

Is the gun enough?

It directly links veeder to the murder.

With Michaels, the hotel manager

and other circumstantial evidence it's more than enough.

Veeder murdered Myers, no question.

Alright. Arrest him.

I'll draft a statement clearing Wallace

of suspicion of Myers' murder.

Did I just hear you're indicting veeder?

You're setting off a bomb, Jimmy.

We need to think this through.

This is not a political decision.

Either find a way to make me look good

or find yourself another candidate.

I don't want to find another candidate.

Then, accentuate the positive.

(Ed) Chris veeder, you are under arrest

for the murder of Jason Myers.

You have the right to remain silent.

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

You have the right to an attorney.

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

- Doug. - Annabeth.

What are you doing here?

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

When murders happen in monasteries

I represent monks.

Mr. Veeder believes that you were tipped off

to the location of that gun.

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

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

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

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

That defense won't keep him out of jail

depends on who gave you the gun.

I'm going to file a motion to suppress it

unless you disclose your source.

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

What's the issue, Mr. Hellman?

Your honor, my client believes that someone

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

'They tipped off the prosecutor's office'

'as to its location.'

was the search for the gun based on a tip?

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

Confidential informants need to be able to provide evidence

without having to disclose their identities.

But this informant has provided the only direct evidence

connecting my client to the crime.

The informant is in effect an accuser.

Now, Mr. Veeder should be allowed

to confront this accuser as he would any other.

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

Unless it was planted on the gun to frame him.

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

yes, your honor.

Do you know this confidential informant's name?

Yes, your honor.

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

Tell Flynn I'm looking forward to his testimony.

Hi. Thanks for comin' over.

Yeah, I kind of missed your couch, actually.

Matt, how well do you know Brian Flynn?

Not well. Just through Jason. Why?

We're compelling him to testify.

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

Didn't you promise not to call him?

Where'd you hear that?

Word gets around.

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

- Maybe there's a way. - How?

Have him give the standard police answer.

The standard police answer being?

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

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

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

But he does recall and if he lies to the jury

I'm gonna have to tell them why.

I'm gonna go.

You made a promise to Flynn.

You should keep it.

'I'll see ya.'

you knew I promised to protect Flynn

when you proceeded with the charges.

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

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

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

Hellman will use Juliet Reynolds to discredit Flynn.

It's your job to make the jury see that

for the cynical defense tactic that it is.

Veeder is cocky.

He's also an experienced credible witness.

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

And Flynn's testimony to counter him.

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

You need to convince him to tell the truth.

Jimmy, he's afraid veeder will kill him.

We'll protect him the way we protect

dozens of witnesses every year.

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

Flynn is gonna testify.

No Flynn, no gun, no case.

Alright.

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

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

- Bye, honey. - Bye.

I love you.

It's gonna be okay.

I haven't told her yet about Juliet.

Why not?

I was hoping I wouldn't have to.

We went over this.

I'm asking you about Juliet

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

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

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

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

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

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

Punish him for killing your partner.

Tell the truth for Cindy's sake.

You can destroy veeder with your testimony.

Good morning, detective Flynn.

Good morning.

Could you please tell us about the night

Jason Myers was murdered?

Um..

Well, I..

It's alright, take your time

to recall the events of that night clearly.

Did you see detective veeder that night?

(Flynn) 'Uh..'

uh, he called me.

He told me Jason was dead.

That he'd been shot.

He told me to meet him at the crime scene.

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

And we both agreed to put the blame on Wallace.

Why did he trust you?

Because he knew something about me.

He knew that I'd had an affair.

(Annabeth) 'With Juliet Reynolds?'

yes.

How did you meet Juliet Reynolds?

Veeder introduced us.

He needed to have something to hold over me.

He wanted you to drink the cup.

Yes.

By betraying my marriage.

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

Was there anything unusual about Juliet?

Yes.

She was..

She is a transvestite.

- A man. - Yes.

[Gasps]

(Jenkins) 'Order.'

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

Thank you for your honesty.

Good afternoon, detective Flynn.

You didn't want your wife to find out

about your relationship with Juliet Reynolds, did you?

No, of course, not.

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

'detective veeder killed Jason Myers or else..'

or else was too much of a risk.

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

Yes.

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

of Mr. Juliet Reynolds came up, did you?

Yeah, that's correct.

Did you put that gun in the drain?

No.

Did you transfer detective veeder's DNA

onto that gun?

No.

You were desperate not to testify

so you made up evidence to support the crime

that the prosecution demanded that you prove.

Is that not true, detective Flynn?

No, that is, that is not true.

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

for your unit is that true?

When Jesus' disciples say in that passage from Matthew

that they are able to drink the cup

they submit themselves to something greater, to god.

Now, some cops think this job is about power.

For or me it's about humility,

(Doug) 'Humility?'

submitting yourself to something greater.

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

Mr. Michaels testified that drinking the cup

referred to your alleged efforts

to lure and cajole him

into bed with kellie Lawson.

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

Absolutely not.

I testified against Michaels at his trial for that crime.

What about Mr. Flynn?

Did you lure and cajole him

into a homosexual relationship with a transvestite?

I regret ever working with men like Flynn and Michaels.

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

It's not my place to judge

but I take responsibility for what I've done.

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

it'd disgust him to see that people like that

are used to accuse me.

His death... It's a tragedy.

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

that Jason gave his life to protect.

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

Twenty two years.

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

I've received medal of honor, medal of valor

'and three mayor's commendations.'

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

- Ever charged with misconduct? - No, sir.

How many times have you testified in court?

I've testified at approximately 150 trials.

In all those hundreds of hours of testimony

have you ever been accused of perjury?

No.

Detective veeder did you kill Jason Myers?

No.

(Annabeth) 'Detective Flynn testified'

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

Who are you to turn her down?"

In what sense was kellie Lawson your whore?

- I never said that. - You pimped her.

Objection.

Ask a question, Ms. Chase or move on.

(Annabeth) 'You manipulated kellie Lawson'

just like you manipulated the men

who worked for you didn't you, detective?

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

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

The question, detective, is do you manipulate the men

in your unit to ensure their loyalty?

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

- Do you manipulate the men? - No.

Flynn lied about me because you cornered him

with some cheap secret.

You destroyed him right in front of us.

I'm not the manipulator Ms. Chase.

"On the one count of murder

'"we, the jury, find the defendant'

not guilty."

[Crowd cheering]

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

But I'm not sure I want a statement.

This is my area of expertise, Jim.

It's your turn to defer to me.

You are going to extend an olive branch.

I am not gonna apologize.

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

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

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

What do I need to do?

Cindy, hi.

I came by to see you last night.

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

Sarah used to bring the kids by in the morning.

I'd take them to school with her.

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

I called, but she hasn't called back.

Do you and Amanda wanna come over for dinner tonight?

Maybe we could call Sarah together?

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

Cindy, veeder started this, not me.

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

It's like this tornado ripped through our neighborhood.

It'll never be like it was.

[Cell phone ringing]

Ed, what's up?

We found kellie Lawson.
