East New York (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 19 - The Harder They Fall - full transcript

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.

♪ I've been living

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.

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.

♪ 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.

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