Testing. One, two, three.
Testing.

[ dogs barking in distance ]

Not here. In the back.

Hurry!

[ barking continues ]

Flynn: by the pool.
Set up by the pool.

Hurry up, buzz.
We need to fish him out.

[ clanks ]
Buzz: ow!

I didn't see you, buzz.

Yeah, it's okay.
Just step back.

[ sighs ]

I'm deputy chief johnson, uh...

[ sighs ]
Wait a second.

You're bleeding.
One more minute won't hurt.

Are you sure?
Yes, ma'am.

Okay. I'm deputy chief johnson,
Priority homicide.

A dog walker stopped by the home
Of mr. Oliver henry

And found the body in the pool.

Okay, detective sanchez,

Now that we've memorialized
The body,

Let's pull this poor man out,
Please.

Gabriel:
Sergeant gabriel, phd.

The first officers
Arrived at the scene

Roughly 12 minutes after
Mr. Henry's death was called in.

Uh, since it was clear that
He had been dead for some time,

The officers decided to leave
The crime scene undisturbed.

[ barking continues ]

All right,
If you got a close shot,

Let's turn the camera off
Until --

For heaven's sakes,

Would someone please
Quiet down those dogs?

[ barking continues ]

Hello.

Lieutenant tao, priority
Homicide division, lapd.

The swelling of the victim

Indicates he's been in the water
Eight to nine hours.

Though bloated,
We can identify him

Through his driver's license
As the owner of the house.

Garnett:
Hold it right there.

Oliver henry --

Arguably the most successful
Divorce lawyer in los angeles.

By all accounts, he was
A good man, a decent man,

A man who loved his job.

Ladies and gentlemen
Of the jury,

The prosecution is
Gonna prove to you

Mr. Henry was murdered
By the defendant

Who verbally and physically
Threatened the victim repeatedly

In the weeks
Right up to his death.

Now, mr. Cordry here,
The lawyer for the defense,

Is gonna argue that mr. Henry's
Death was accidental,

But I need you to pay
Very close attention

To the inconsistencies you're
Gonna see with that theory

On this video
And throughout the case.

To start,
You'll notice the contusions

Visible on mr. Henry's forehead.

Roll it.

Brenda: looks like he ran into
Something right here.

Buzz: I got it.

A little overdressed to go
Swimming, don't you think?

Okay, let's get his shirt --
How it's untucked.

This seam here...

A tear in the knee...

And the cuffs of the pants...

Here...And there.

And the scuff marks, too,
Buzz, on the shoes.

Thank you.

[ indistinct radio chatter ]

Would you move, please?
Move back?

Thank you.

Chief, you see this?

Could be drag marks.

Buzz?

[ sighs ]
Buzz: I got it.

Lieutenant tao, I want you
To check and see

If there's any leather from the
Victim's shoes around the pool.

Will do, chief.
Thank you.

Sergeant gabriel,

Would you mind showing me where
Mr. Henry kept his clothes?

Thank you.

He's all yours, gentlemen.

He takes excellent care
Of his wardrobe.

His closet's as big
As my kitchen.

Chief,
What are you looking for?

Signs of wear,
And I'm not finding them.

Sergeant gabriel,

Would you check these suits
And shirts for frays and tears?

And, lieutenant provenza,

I want these shoes and clothes
Put into evidence, please.

[ thud ]

As neatly as he kept
Them...Please.

Thank you so much.

Oh, yeah.

[ laughs ]

Flynn:
Okay, until recently,

Oliver henry was partners
With his wife, valerie,

In the law firm
Of henry and henry --

Considered the number-two
Divorce law firm in the city.

Clientele includes celebrities,
Politicians, and the very rich.

Fees average $500 an hour
For associates,

Twice that if you want
Oliver henry specifically.

Cheaper to hire a hit man.

So, you're saying mr. And
Mrs. Henry were partners?

Flynn: yeah, well,
They divorced, too --

Just settled
About three months ago.

They're still in the process
Of dissolving the firm.

Now, he was considered
The rainmaker,

And she was regarded as,
You know, kind of average.

Her payoff isn't.

Valerie henry is still listed
As the beneficiary

Of our victim's $10 million
Life-insurance policy.

She's not answering her phone.

All right,
Detective sanchez,

What did we learn
From the neighbors?

It's not a good place
To have a block party, chief.

I mean, nobody knows anyone.

All I got is this kid
Who saw a black beamer,

Maybe a convertible,

Parked in henry's driveway
Around 9:00 last night.

Hmm, black bmw
In the hollywood hills.

That narrows it down to,
Like, 50,000 people.

Hey.
Hmm?

Any chance this hollywood
Divorce attorney

Accidentally fell
Into his own pool?

'cause the media
Are already insisting

That one of his movie-star
Clients killed him,

And we just can't afford
That kind of murder right now.

We are slowly whittling away
At a list of suspects.

Great.
How many are we down to?
Not counting the wife,
Roughly 758.

What?

Our attorney's caseload.

Henry and henry currently have
379 active divorce suits,

Each with a client
And an irritated spouse.

That's casting
A pretty wide net.

And how do you feel about your
Own wife's divorce attorney?

Yeah, okay.

What would really make me
Feel a little better, though,

Is some evidence that a crime
Was actually committed,

Because if the guy
Just fell --

Excuse me.
Uh, dr. Morales will see us now.

Wonderful.
Thank you, sergeant.

If the autopsy report reads,
"Accident" --

Yeah, or suicide.
Suicide would be great.

I'll be sure
To let you know.

Don't make work for yourself.

All right, y'all, let's start
Checking mr. Henry's clients

And their spouses,

See if any of them
Have a criminal record.

I want to know if any of them
Drive a black bmw.

Let's dump
The victim's cellphone,

See who he was talking to.

And find the ex-wife, please.
Thank you.

Sergeant gabriel.

[ camera shutter clicks ]

Sorry.

I'm documenting the scrapes

On the back of his knuckles
And fingers.

Could this have happened
By accident?

On just one hand,
I'd say yes.

On the other hand, too --

Looks more like
He was dragged from behind.

But the contusion's
On the front of his head.

No hemorrhaging though.
Low impact.

It looks
Like he ran into a door

Or fell from
Less than his full height.

[ camera shutter clicks ]

And he didn't block the blow
With his hands.

So, let's say it happened
Something like this.

Um, someone was walking
Mr. Henry along, let's say,

From his house to his pool,
And he started to pass out.

And they let him slip which
Explains the scrape on the knee.

And dropped him.

[ grunts ]

So he hits his head --
Kaboom.

But not hard enough
To knock him unconscious.

Right,
So, mr. Henry falls,

And our killer
Turns the victim face up,

Grabs him under his arms,
And drags him to the pool --

Ow, ow.
That's too hard.
Sorry, chief.

That's too hard.
Sorry.

[ sighs ]

This only makes sense if
Mr. Henry was drugged or drunk.

No alcohol
In his bloodstream.

I'm doing a tox screen,

But I won't know for sure
Until we get it back.

[ gasps ] wait a minute.
Check under his arms.

His suit coat was ripped there,
And if you pull hard enough...

Good call.

[ camera shutter clicks ]

Dr. Morales: and when the tox
Screen came back positive,

I just felt like
There was no way

I could comfortably state
The death was accidental.

Thank you, dr. Morales.

Your witness.

So, this, um, this drug

That turned up in mr. Henry's
Tox screen was, again?

Midazolam --
Better known as versed.

It's a sedative,
Among other things,

Not available
By prescription.

And did you find
Any fingerprints

On this versed, doctor?

It's a liquid, sir.

And had been metabolized,
So, no.

Then there's no way
To prove

That my client
Administered this drug?

Is that correct?
I wouldn't know.

I'm here to discuss the
Medical aspects of the case.

Well, then could you tell
The members of the jury

What types
Of medical professionals

Use this drug
On a regular basis?

Anesthesiologists, mostly,

But those working in a surgical
Field would have access to it.

So, while the state has focused
Its efforts on the defendant,

Isn't it true that any doctor,
Nurse,

Or medical professional
Could have accessed this drug?

Or someone close to a doctor,
Nurse, or --
Objection.

That calls for a ridiculous
Amount of speculation.

Sustained.

Let me ask you this, then,
Doctor.

Is it possible
That mr. Henry,

Who had recently
Suffered a divorce,

Who was splitting up his
Business with his ex-wife,

Administered the drug
To himself?

And on the way to his pool,
Stumbled and fell,

Hit his head, but managed
To pull himself into the water

Before he passed out?

Is that possible?

Yes, but I would say
Highly unlike--

"Yes" is sufficient.

No further questions.

No redirect at this time,
Your honor.

[ gavel bangs ]
Call your next witness.

Woman: do you swear to tell
The truth, the whole truth,

And nothing but the truth
So help you god?

I do.

I tried very hard to figure out
How mr. Henry's death

Might have been an accident
Or suicide,

But the more I learned, the more
Certain I became it was murder.

Did you arrive at mr. Henry's
House with that idea in mind --

That his death
Was a homicide?
No.

In examining the crime scene,
Did you immediately conclude

That oliver henry
Had been murdered?

Absolutely not.

I don't see how it could be
Anything else,

Especially
With this tox screen.

Yeah? What does it say?

Oliver henry
Tested positive for versed,

Which isn't available
Even by prescription,

So someone
Must have drugged him.

Ugh, your car insurance
Is late again.

Look, why don't you just
Sign this form and...

What are you looking for?

I know I had some ho hos
In here,

And I'm sure I had a ding dong
In the freezer.

I threw all that stuff out.
What? Why?

The doctor said,
"No more sugar."
[ sighs ]

[ mockingly ]
Doctor said no more sugar.

Sorry.

Uh, what were you saying
About my insurance?

That it's late again.

Look, do you want to combine
Our finances or not?

Really, just,
You know, tell me

Because it really
Doesn't matter to me.

I thought we agreed if we put
All our money in one place,

It would make it easier to get
Preapproved for a loan.

Yes, but then you never
Do anything about it.

Well, I was planning
On doing that next week.

You keep on saying that,
And then nothing ever happens.

Here, please.

Here, sign this form
And that signature card.

That puts you
On all my bank accounts, okay?

And then you can
Just close yours.

Now I feel bad. I didn't
Expect you to do all of it.

I don't mind doing it!
That way it gets done!

Well, I should be
Doing something.

I would be happy
With your signature.

So, your vic ingested versed?
Yes.

Did you find the vial
It came out of

Or the glass
He drank it from?

No.

So, henry gave himself
A knockout drug,

Cleaned out the glass
Or buried the vial,

Walked quickly to the pool,
Fell,

Hit his head,
Knocked himself out,

And then dragged himself
Into the water.

Well,
That sounds reasonable.

[ cellphone rings ]

Agent howard.
Uh-huh. Yeah, no, I'm coming.

Uh-huh. Yeah.

Flynn: ah, so, chief, it turns
Out henry's 23 active cases --

He was either verbally
Or physically threatened

By the opposing spouses
In at least 11 of them.

Daniels: that we know of.

Henry even pulled restraining
Orders on this guy,

This lady here,
Him, and him.

[ muffled ] now,
And this one...

This one right here --
This one peed on his car.

Lovely. [ sighs ]

Any of them drive black bmws?

Well, there's at least seven
In the ballpark.

Uh, two were navy blue,
One was a mercedes.

Now, this guy over here,
He was a double play --

Restraining order
And the car to go with it.

Oh, good.
Let's talk to him.

Garnett: so, on the fourth day
Of your investigation,

You were still concentrating
On at least seven people.

Eight --
Including valerie henry.

The victim's ex-wife,
Correct?
Yes.

Apparently,
She'd been out of town

Since the morning
Mr. Henry was found dead.

Before that?

Valerie: I'm afraid I was alone
In my new apartment that night,

So I can't
Offer you an alibi.

Thank you for continuing
To hold.

And so after you heard about
Your ex-husband's death?

I got in my car
And drove to palm springs

Before the press attacked.

Vultures. I couldn't face
Talking to them.

Mrs. Henry,

Since your ex-husband died
Under suspicious circumstances,

I wonder if you wouldn't mind
Telling me why you two divorced?

Money, mainly.

Or the way I spent it.

Sad part is,
I filed for divorce just to --

Just to get his attention.

I never thought we'd actually
Go through with it.

So stupid.

Mrs. Henry, um, did your husband
Have a drug or alcohol problem?

Was he chronically depressed
Or suicidal?

No, no, just the opposite.

Ollie was stable,
Trustworthy.

He was an eagle scout.
Did you know that?

It still
Meant something to him.

Uh...Thrifty, brave...

Whatever.

He could still recite
The whole silly oath by heart.

And you'd think
Someone like that

Would be dull...
Repressed.

But not ollie.

He was decent.

Too decent.

Maybe I -- maybe I didn't
Deserve someone quite so --

Solidstate insurance...

Oh, hello?
Hold on, please.

I'm so sorry, mrs. Henry.

I was on hold for 15 minutes
Before you got here.

Hello? Yes. Hi.

Uh, fine.
Thank you.

Um, I'm calling to inquire about
Your multiple-driver discount.

I want to find out what kind
Of rate my fiancé and I can --

Oh, no,
Please don't put me on hold!

Your call
Is important to us.

Thank you for continuing
To hold.

I'm sorry.
You were saying?

You're getting married.

Oh...

Yes.
Well, I'm engaged...

So, yes.

Putting all your things
Together?

Bit by bit.
[ chuckles ]

It is time-consuming.

When you take it apart, too.

Speaking of which,

Were you satisfied
With your divorce settlement?

Oh, ollie was...Fair.

I got a lot of cash,
And he got the house.

And max and mathilde, too.

The dogs.

And you have them now,
Right?

Well, yes, I should have had
Them in the first place

Or at least
Joint custody, anyway.

Ollie thought I didn't pay them
Enough attention.

Mrs. Henry, are you aware

That you are still named
As the sole beneficiary

Of your ex-husband's
Life insurance?

Are you sure?

Oh, I'm positive.

Your ex-husband dies,
And you get $10 million.

Look, ms. Johnson,

Even the fairest
Divorce attorneys make enemies.

It comes with the job.

One party feels they're not
Getting enough,

The other party feels
They're giving too much.

You make enemies
Just doing the right thing.

Well, is there any particular
Client or spouse

He was concerned about?

Well, he didn't talk much
About it --

Attorney-client privilege.

But he was getting flak
From someone --

The husband of a client,
About a flarpl that --

I'm sorry, a what?

Family law attorney's
Real property lien -- flarpl.

Sounds like something you'd get
At a dairy queen...In india.

Well, it's a law permitting
Asshole divorce lawyers

To put a lien on a client's
Home to ensure payment.

Your second wife?

All right, if y'all don't mind
Going over these names again

And see if any flarpls
Or "Fliprls" turn up?

Thank you.
Thank you so much.

Garnett: and what did you find
In rechecking the names?

We found five f-flarpls.
Flarpls?

Fla-- flarpls
Among mr. Henry's cases.

Had any of those five
Been issued

Against someone with a black
Convertible bmw?

One --
Against the defendant.

Your honor, this would be
A good time to stop for the day.

Okay.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Remember your oath.

You are not to discuss
This case with anyone,

Including the members
Of the press.

We'll reconvene here
Tomorrow morning at 9:00.

And let me remind
The reporters present --

You are to conduct your business

Outside the four walls
Of this building.

Hmm?
[ gavel bangs ]

[ sighs ]

Good job.

I hope so.

With judge tiano
Disallowing the dog hair

From valerie henry's
Mangy pets...

Taylor: you arrested the right
Guy. Don't worry about it.

That's why this is
So frustrating.

I keep going over everything
In my head.

If I had been able
To get a confession,

We wouldn't even be here
In the first place.

Ah, look, look, look,
Look, look.

We have a media scrum
We have to walk through.

So before you walk
Into that --

Commander taylor will coach you
Through your statement.

That's ridiculous.
I know exactly what to say.

No, you don't

And you're irritable
And you snap at people.

I do not.

We shouldn't even
Be talking to the press.

Vultures.

[ indistinct shouting ]

Hello. Hi.

I want to thank y'all
For your interest in this case.

The lapd has decided
That commander taylor

Will be fielding
All your questions today.

Thank you.
Thank you so much. Pardon me.

[ indistinct shouting ]

Uh...

Well, um, let me,
Uh, make a short --

A brief opening statement here.

We feel that
This case represents

The best that our justice system
Has to offer.

Tiano: ladies and gentleman,
Good morning.

Let me remind you,
Deputy chief johnson,

That you are still under oath.

Mr. Garnett, you may proceed.

Garnett:
Thank you, your honor.

Good morning,
Deputy chief johnson.

We left off yesterday

Discussing the exhaustive search
You made

Of mr. Henry's
Current and past clients

And their spouses.

Among the five people against
Whom he had issued flarpls,

You found one
With a black convertible bmw.

Gabriel:
Dr. Jonathan schafer.

And who is he?

He's an ophthalmologist,
And his wife, kristen schafer,

Hired mr. Henry to be
Her divorce attorney.

And then henry took out a flarpl
Against the schafer residence.

What?

Henry put a lien
On schafer's house.

[ cellphone ringing ]

Sorry.
I have to take this.

Hello? Yes, uh, multiple-driver
Rate. That's right.

Y'all go on.

Um...
I know this.

Flynn: okay.

Anyway, chief, uh, we have
Reports of a confrontation

Between dr. Schafer
And mr. Henry.

Schafer left threats
On henry's voice mail.

And registered to schafer
At the dmv

Is a 2006
Black bmw convertible.

And this divorce
Was acrimonious?

Uh, that point
Doesn't fit so well.

Dr. Schafer and his wife
Ended up reconciling.

What?!

Sorry.

That is twice
What I'm paying now.

No, I don't.
You know what?

Just forget it, okay?
Thank you so much.

Problem?

I'm trying to combine fritz
And my car-insurance policy

For a discount, and I-I-I can't
Seem to get it for some reason.

I got a guy.
Let me see what I can get you.

Are you sure?
I-I don't --
Yes.

Because then that
Will free you up

To figure out all this business
With the --

The flarpl, the car,
And the knockout drug

Adds up to specific evidence
Against dr. Schafer.

There must have been other
Doctors that henry was suing.

Do you have a license plate
On this bmw?

No.

Look, I'm meeting with the wife
Later on this afternoon.

I'll get some more
Background information.

Look, I know
We have some blanks.

Well, fill them in, now,
Because having all seven of you

Working on this case
For over a week

When we still can't say
Definitively

If this is a murder --

Oh, no, it is. It is.
I'm sure of it.

And this dr. Schafer --
He is our best bet.

Please don't gamble,

Especially with the press
Looking over your shoulder

Because the evidence
You've got

Is enough
To ruin this guy's life

But not enough to arrest him
For murder.

If you're gonna continue
To go after schafer,

Do it with a whisper.

So, chief...What now?

[ sighs ]

[ up-tempo pop music plays ]

So, I last saw mr. Henry --
Hmm --

I guess it must have been,
Gosh,

Just a day or two
Before he died.

That's when you told him you
And your husband had reconciled?

Trying to reconcile.

Which was his original advice --
Mr. Henry's.

The day that I hired him,
The first thing he told me was,

"See if you can work things out
With your husband."

And why did you file for divorce
In the first place?

[ sniffles ]

Jonathan was having an affair
With this girl in his office.

Kind of cliché --

Doctor's wife losing out
To her husband's receptionist.

But that's over, and he swears
She was the only one.

And you believe him?

I'd like to.

My family, you know?

Did you know your husband
Had threatened your attorney.

But jonathan would never have
Actually done anything violent.

He's...

He's an ophthalmologist
Not a biker.

He may be a cheat,
But he's not a killer.

I know my husband.

You didn't know
He was having an affair.

I think I did.

I just...Didn't want
To believe it.

Uh, do you know
Where your husband was

The night of the murder?

Well, no.

He's still staying
At the beverly wilshire

Until we figure things out.

Look, why would jonathan
Kill my attorney...

...Especially
After I told him

We could maybe give our marriage
Another try?

If I change my mind,
I'll just hire another lawyer.

He can't drown them all.

Let's find this receptionist

That dr. Schafer was cheating
With and talk to her.

And I want to get a search
Warrant for dr. Schafer's car.

Maybe you can look through
The bmw while I talk to him.

Maybe he won't even know
We did it.

Sergeant, this is a murder,
Isn't it?

[ exhales sharply ]

I think so.

And on paper...

I mean, the doctor
Makes a good suspect, yeah,

But I thought his wife
Made a good point.

I mean, she drops her divorce,
The lien goes away.

Dr. Schafer kills
The attorney -- why?

I don't know the answer
To that...

Yet.

Maybe the good doctor
Can tell me.

Thank you.

Oh!

Oh.

[ laughs ]

I'm so sorry I'm so late.

[ laughs ]

Um, yeah,
I never get it right.

Is it an optometrist
Or an ophthalmologist

Who performs eye surgery?

An ophthalmologist.

And which one are you?
The surgery kind.

Okay. [ laughs ]

So, what is this about?
What did you guys want?

Nobody told you
Why you were here?

No. No.

I got a call. Someone asked
If I could talk to the police.

And when I arrived, almost...
An hour ago,

A white-haired guy, he just told
Me my rights and left me here.

I'm so sorry.

We are talking
To so many people today.

That white-haired guy's
Normally really sweet.

He must have been in a rush.

Um...

I'm sure that you heard about
What happened to oliver henry?

Yeah, the guy who almost
Got my wife to divorce me.

I heard he died -- fell in
A pool or maybe pushed him.

Exactly. So we're investigating
His death.

No, no, no, no, no.
Don't worry.

[ laughs ]
Standard procedure.

We're talking to all his clients
And their spouses --

People like you and your wife.

It's taking us some time.

You've talked to kristen?

Yes. Standard procedure.

Um, she said...

That she actually followed
Mr. Henry's advice

And that maybe you two
Were working things out?

Yeah, we're trying.

I, uh, behaved badly --
Very badly.

I'm trying to do everything
I can to rebuild her trust.

It's hard.

I wish I could just go back
And do things differently.

Well, hindsight's 20/20.

[ laughs ]

Little eye-doctor humor
For you.

Ah. Very good.

So, um, you were mad
When your wife hired mr. Henry.

You -- you yelled at him.

Yeah, I didn't have a very adult
Response to the whole thing.

I -- I, um...
[ clears throat ]

...Made some calls in the heat
Of the moment that I --

It was so stupid.

She had every right
To hire an attorney.

I think I just
Didn't want it to be my fault.

I wanted it
To be henry's fault,

As irrational as that sounds.

They finished searching the bmw,
Chief.

Well, let's finish up here
So you can be on your way.

Um, so, we have three questions
That we're asking everyone

About the night
That oliver henry died.

Um, where you were...

What you were doing,
And who you were with.

Sure. Of course.

That was, um...

As a matter of fact,
I was out of town.

Really?

Yeah.

I was on a sort of
A get-my-head-together

Fishing trip
With a buddy of mine.

A-a-and the name
Of your friend?

Barnes -- topper barnes.

"Topper." that's two p's,
Lieutenant.

We were on his boat
For four days.

I think -- I think I have
The number right here.

Yep. There it is.

3-- well, here.

Thank you.

Perfect.

And, um, uh,
The name of the boat?

Uh, super plum.

[ both laugh ]

We were -- we took it out
Of marina del rey.

Talk to topper.
I was with him the whole time.

All right, then.

Thank you.

Cordry:
You can stop it right there.

So, my client told you
He had an alibi.

What's the problem?

Well, as is often the case

Of those suspected of committing
Murder in the first degree,

Your client lied.

So, my client produced an alibi,
And you decided it was fake.

I didn't decide
It was fake.

The alibi
Couldn't be verified.

Neither the boat
Nor the man

Dr. Schafer told us about
Existed.

Isn't it true, ms. Johnson,

That you and your squad
Have been restricted

From working overtime?
Yes.
We have to apply for --

Do you ever feel any pressure
To solve cases faster?

I wish I could solve
Everything faster, sir.

I drive myself
To find killers --

Well, what if my client's alibi
Were out there somewhere,

And you couldn't find it simply
Because you lacked the time

Or the resources?
Time was not the issue.

So, s.I.D. Isn't done
With the stuff

They vacuumed
Out of the car yet.

They say they're gonna need
At least another two hours.

But look, chief, we've done
Master searches

On this guy topper barnes,
And he doesn't exist.

What about the phone number
Dr. Schafer gave us?

Dead end.

Registered to a disposable
Cellphone.

We're finding out
Where it was purchased.

Chief, bottom line, you'd have
An easier time finding santa.

I mean, what kind of a name
Is "Topper," anyway?

It's ridiculous.

Topper's boat is nowhere
To be found, either.

Can't find a registration
The super plum,

And no local marina
Has ever heard of it.

[ groans ]

Chief, I put the receptionist
From schafer's office

In interview room number one.

Her name is michelle edwards.

She brought her portfolio with
Her like we do tv or something.

Take a look.
Great set of twins.

Thank you,
Detective sanchez.

Lieutenant provenza, would you
Please look after miss edwards?

Thank you.
I'll take that, boys.

And I'll need to familiarize
Myself with the subjects --

Subject.

Hey!
Why does he get to go --

Uh, lieutenant flynn,
See if you can give dr. Schafer

A ride back down
To parker center.

Maybe he knows where we can find
His invisible friend.

Will, I'm sorry.

This case
Isn't quite wrapped up yet.

But I'm expecting
Any minute --

This isn't about the case.

There's a problem
With your insurance,

And your rate
Won't be going down.

What about
Your broker guy?

He can't do anything.

I thought you said --
He just can't.

Uh, look,
You should talk to fritz.

Is there something
You know that I don't?

Um, I'm not sure.

You know what?

I really shouldn't
Even be involved in this.

Just tell me!

[ sighs ]

Okay.

Fritz has two d.U.I.S on his
Record about a month apart

From, like,
Five years ago.

D.U.I.S?

So you didn't know. Great.
But fritz doesn't drink.

Right.

Okay.

The information
Is all in that report.

If you decide
To discuss it with fritz,

Just don't tell him you heard
About it from me, please?

And I'm -- I'm sorry to be
The bearer of bad news.

Really.

Yeah, right.

I bet you are.

Provenza:
Where are you from?
Edwards:
Well, I'm from dallas.

I actually just moved here
About two years ago.

Hey, hey, hey.

I only worked at jonathan's
Office during the day.

I'm an actress,

And the hours didn't conflict
With my classes.

It's nice to have
That kind of day job.

And before that, I was
A waitress at a sports bar.

The doctor's office
Was loads better

Than getting your ass pinched
For tips all day.

Men are such pigs.

Hello, michelle.
I'm deputy chief johnson.

I just have a few questions
To ask you

Because we're investigating
The death

Of kristen schafer's
Divorce attorney,

And we hear that you were
Involved in the divorce.

Yes. [ sighs ]

That's why I'm not working with
Jonathan -- dr. Schafer --

Anymore.

His wife found out that he was
Seeing me, and I was let go.

And were you surprised
By that?
Yeah.

He told me for months that his
Marriage was technically over,

That I made him feel
Like more of a man.

But then he totally freaked out
When she was leaving him.

It just makes me wonder what
Other lies he was telling me.

Well, have you seen
Or spoken to dr. Schafer

Since he treated you
So badly?

He met me for lunch once,
Sort of a goodbye thing.

And then I called him

After I heard about her lawyer
Dying on the news.

And what did he say?

He was surprised.

But he couldn't really talk
Because she was there.

And he'd just
Gotten back into town.

From?

Some boat trip he took for
The weekend with his friend,

Topper something.

And did you ever meet
This topper in person or...
Not in person.

...Find out where he's from
Or what he did for a living?
No, no. No, nothing.

Okay.

Well, thank you so much for
Going over all this with us.

The lieutenant here
Will show you out.

[ clears throat ]

Oh, so, am I free to go, then,
Or --

Well, just a few more
Standard questions that we --

We ask all of our witnesses.

First, since you, uh,
Broke up with dr. Schafer,

Have you started dating
Anybody else?

No, not yet.

Oh. That's too bad.

[ clears throat ]

And what is the best way
To get in touch with you?

Gabriel:
Excuse me, chief.

Yes, sergeant.
Lieutenant flynn
Is back with schafer.

They're in
Interview room two.

You might want to talk
To our ophthalmologist

About what s.I.D. Got back
From the vehicle.

No fibers from the henry home,
No chemicals from the pool...

Dog hair.

Do the schafers have pets?

No, chief, but remember,
The victim had two dogs.

And s.I.D. Vacuumed the house
Really well

After we were done with it,
And guess what.

"We matched the hair
From the victim's dog

To the hair in dr. Schafer's
Convertible."

Oh, thank god!
[ laughs ]

Oh.

Sorry.

Sergeant, excuse me.

Oh, thank you.
Thank you so much.

[ sniffs ]

[ sighs ]

Okay.

Brenda:
Dr. Schafer....

I am so sorry to
Interrupt your day,

But, um, I just have a few more
Things I'd like to clear up.

Jonathan: such as?

Well, uh, oddly enough,

Though we have done
Our very best

To find this friend of yours,
The reclusive topper barnes,

He seems to have disappeared
Off the face of the earth.

Or perhaps he sailed
Off the edge of it

In the fabulous super plum,
His magical and invisible boat,

Since no one else has ever seen
Hide nor tail of it but you.

Ms. Johnson, excuse me,

But I think you should know
I've already called my lawyer.

Whatever for?
Because I didn't like
Leaving here the last time

And getting in my car

And finding out
That you people had searched it.

And honestly,
That dumb-blonde act of yours

Didn't fool me for a minute.

You seem like an expert
In dumb blondes.

[ chuckles ]

You sure you don't want
To talk to me?

I can make things
So much easier for you,

Less embarrassing for your wife
And daughter.

May never have
This chance again.

I'm gonna
Stick with my lawyer.

Look, I didn't kill anyone.

Well, I'm sorry to disappoint
You, dr. Schafer.

I don't believe you.

Lieutenant.

Since you already have a lawyer,
You understand your rights.

You're under arrest
For the murder of oliver henry.

I think we've got
A problem.

With what?

Chief,
Something you have to see.

I was going over
Our case file.

You got the s.I.D. Results,
Got the search warrant.

You got the dmv reg
On schafer's bmw.

See?

Deputy chief johnson,
You remember dda garnett.

Yes. Hello.

He's had a chance
To review the evidence

In the warrant in question.

Perhaps you would like to tell
Him about your concerns.

Well, my concerns are

That this man killed
His wife's divorce attorney.

And, um, some of the evidence
That we have to prove that

May be inadmissible.

Well, if it was just

The transposed
License plate numbers,

I could probably swing that,
But...

There--
There's something else?

Detective daniels
Was very specific

About what you were looking
For in dr. Schafer's car,

And nowhere does it
Mention dog hair.

And I could probably
Swing that on its own,

But I have to add it to the
Mixed-up license plate numbers.

I don't know.
It's gonna depend on the judge.

But let me ask you this --
Is this the guy?

I mean,
You know this is the guy?

I do. I absolutely do.

Cordry: but you have no evidence
To prove it, ms. Johnson.

Not that oliver henry
Was murdered

Or that my client was anywhere
Near him the night he died.

As for the drug
Found in mr. Henry's system,

We've already established
The possibility

That he could have
Self-medicated

And fallen into the pool.

On the whole,
The evidence points --

Evidence?
Like scuff marks?

Those scuff marks
Are not present

On any other pair
Of mr. Henry's shoes.

And we found bits
Of matching leather

In the cement around the --

Excuse me, ma'am.

I wonder how many people
In this courtroom

Have scuff marks
On their shoes.

I know I do.

Does that mean
Someone has tried to kill me?

I don't think so.

And do we know when
The shoes were scuffed?

Can you say, ms. Johnson,

That mr. Henry injured his
Footwear the night he died?

No.

No.

So, frayed cloth, a couple
Of knee and knuckle scrapes,

Scuff marks,
An unidentified bmw

Parked in the driveway
Of mr. Henry's house,

And that's it, yes?

You have no physical evidence
At all, do you?

Yes or no, ms. Johnson?

Chief johnson, you will please
Answer the question

About the physical evidence.

I don't have
A yes or no answer.

But the lapd
Found no evidence

Specifically linking my client
To the scene of the crime.

Isn't that
What you're telling us?

No.
I'm sorry?

You have other evidence?

Your honor,
I demand an answer.

Fine.

In dr. Schafer's car, we found
Dog hair from the victim's --

Objection!

The witness knows that evidence
Has been disallowed.

You asked,
For heaven's sakes!
[ gavel bangs ]

Counselor, as boneheaded
As it may be, you did ask.

I --
Very directly.

So I will allow
Chief johnson to answer.

Thank you, your honor.

Mr. Henry owned two dogs.

We matched the dna
Of the victim's pets

To the dog hair we found
In dr. Schafer's bmw.

Excuse me, your honor.

Your honor, I would like
To request a brief recess.

Permission to approach
The bench, your honor?

I'm sorry, your honor,

But a witness for the defense
Has unexpectedly shown up.

The defense team
Had ample time --

We did not plan this,
Your honor.

Who is it? Who?

Topper barnes,
The guy with the boat --

My client's alibi.

Mr. Garnett?
Mr. Garnett.

Topper barnes, who you
Assured me did not exist,

Shows up out of the blue.

Mr. Garnett, we did our
Due diligence on mr. Barnes.

It seems to me the timing of his
Arrival is awfully convenient.

Just tell me
What I need to do.

Break schafer's alibi.

Otherwise,
Jeopardy is attached.

If the case gets dismissed
Or goes to jury,

The doctor walks,
And I look like an idiot.

We'll never be able to prosecute
Anyone else for this murder

Because the case
We're having now

Creates all the reasonable doubt
A jury's gonna need

To let the next defendant
Off the hook.

[ sighs ]

This is a nightmare.

I will meet you back
In your office in one hour.

Commander taylor,
What can you tell us?

Actually,
Deputy chief johnson

Will be taking
Your questions today.

Have a nice weekend.

[ indistinct shouting ]
