Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2001–2011): Season 3, Episode 7 - Law & Order: Criminal Intent - full transcript

[Man Narrating] In New
York City's war on crime,

the worst criminal offenders are pursued
by the detectives of the Major Case Squad.

These are their stories.

Thank you for the
dance, Mr. Fineman.

[Chuckles]

Oh, you are
bruised. Did I do that?

No, no, it wasn't you.

Are you okay? I'm fine.

You aren't the one who decides.

I don't know how it happened.
Let's not make a fuss.

Is everything all
right at home, Lena?



Everything's fine.
Please, I'm okay.

Thank you for the meds, Doctor.

The down payment
was present enough.

But if you want to, you can
make empanadas for my party.

Honey, we can't go.

Your dad's got a huge
deadline. He always does.

But you can come, can't you?

It's better I stay home.

I'm so proud of you.
Claire, you got a good job.

And now your own home.
This is what a mother works for.

Love you too, Mom.

Oh, that's nasty.
How'd you get that?

From work. Don't worry.
Let's find you something nice.

[Door Closes] [Man]
Honey, I'm home.



Honey?

How long are we gonna be married
before you know how I like my burgers?

[Laughs] [Man]
Stay out of my way!

[Grunting]

Yankees lose again, Lance?

[Knocking]

Lance, what's... Help
me! I need a crowbar.

What's going on? Lena's locked
herself in the basement bathroom.

I don't have a key, and
she's not answering.

There's... There's
blood. I think she's hurt.

Lena! I saw her feet.

She's leaning up against the
door. I think... There we go.

Lena! Lena! Lena!

Oh, my God, Lena! Oh, my God!

Neighbors heard them
arguing around 7:00.

Brody's story goes that
they made up, went to bed.

When he woke up, she was gone.

What does Brody think
happened? He hasn't said.

You have the murder
weapon? I'm still lookin'.

That bruise on her
wrist is a few days old.

He's gone after her before.

But, uh,

this one she got tonight, huh?

Mm, the argument, do
you know what it was about?

Well, he claims that she threw
out one of his model boats.

He killed her over a toy boat?

Yeah, men, they get
very attached to toys.

Okay, she was
stabbed, choked, beaten.

That's three types of assault. Most
spousal murders only involve one.

This is as simple as it gets.
It's an argument that got ugly.

Uh, can I get a hand?

Ready?

Swedish carving knife.

So, Brody just doesn't
assemble boats,

he carves each
piece out of wood.

And leaves murder weapons
where we can find them.

Well, he drops it, she falls on
it. He panics. He locks her in.

Wasn't she leaning against the
door when the neighbors found her?

Listen. If Brody hadn't been involved
in that bid-rigging case in Queens,

Major Case wouldn't even
be here. Uh, excuse me.

Um, did he say what kind
of boat she threw away?

Some kind of Rainbow.

Uh, uh, the J-Yacht Rainbow?

This is a New York boat.

Won the America's Cup in 1934.

Well, you might be right
about Brody, Detective.

If he's the killer,

I don't want somebody
else to take the fall.

Let's give him some options.

I woke up, and she wasn't there.

If she had heard something,
sh-she would have gotten me up.

I just don't... [Sobbing]

Is there anyone who might
have wanted to harm your wife?

Or you? Maybe someone
connected with the bid-rigging case?

I was cleared of that.

But four other suppliers were
arrested. Maybe one of them blames you.

[Lance] For what? I
didn't know anything.

Yerba maté. Your wife
is from South America.

Argentina.

My grandparents sent her to live
here when she was a teenager.

It's maté. It's a tea.

Gives you a boost.

Was your wife
under a lot of stress?

Lena's been a little...

disorganized
lately. Disorganized?

Do you mean depressed?

Mom was a positive person.

She was... She was
happy yesterday.

She was helping me with
my housewarming party.

We need to know if any of your
wife's injuries predated her attack.

This could be difficult, but if
you could look at these photos.

Those bruises were on her
neck. No. She didn't have these.

This one was on her knee.

Her right knee.

What is it, Mr. Brody?

Nothing. I just never saw this.

[Bishop] Well, these cuts
and bruises were on her hands.

Uh, that bruise on her wrist,
she told me she got that at work.

Yeah, that's right.

Mr. Brody, if you need a
moment, you know, to let go,

it's all right. What
makes you think I...

Well, you're pressing your
thumb into your forefinger.

Some people, they bite their
lips. They clench their fists.

Can we just get on with this?

I know, it's hard.
You feel the guilt.

About the argument, you know.

Y-You're thinking
that she was selfish...

to get so upset about a boat.

Of course, I wish
it didn't happen.

Yeah, you were thinking about all
the hard work that you did, you know.

The... The months that
you put in... carving...

and putting each
plank into place.

It was on your bench.

I-I don't understand. It
wasn't there last night.

This is some kind of trick. I
know how you people work.

You make the
truth sound like a lie.

I'm not talking to you anymore.

Come on, sweetheart.

She ever show up with any
unexplained bruises before?

No.

But right away you
suspected her husband?

Why is that? You'd met him?

When he'd pick Lena up
on his way home from work,

he'd always come half hour
early just to sit in the sunroom.

He was checking up on
her. Is that what you thought?

Yes. [Bishop] How
often did he do this?

The first time was when she first
started to work here, last September.

But then he stopped
after a couple of weeks.

And then, a few times,

two months ago in May.

She was friendly.
She's attractive.

Maybe her husband had
a reason to be suspicious.

No. But some men don't need
a reason to pick on their wives.

This is the fatal cut here.

But these abrasions
are superficial.

The blood vessels in her
eyes were uncontracted.

He didn't apply enough
pressure to strangle her.

[Bishop] She fought
him off. Maybe.

Look. These cuts on
the top of the wrists.

You know, if she was
defending herself...

You mean defending
herself like a girl.

What if she was defending
herself like a boxer?

Hey, score one for the new kid.

Now, this old bruise on her wrist,
that's another superficial injury.

This bruise on her knee,
not enough to put her down.

No, the kneecap's not
bruised. If Brody had hit her with

enough force, he would
have split the patella in three.

- There's no getting up after that.
- Even if he didn't kneecap her,
he was still looking to hurt her.

Yes, but this lady wasn't
feeling anybody's pain.

Tox screen showed 30 milligrams
of Percocet in her bloodstream,

taken within three hours.
Hmm. All for a sore wrist?

Well, maybe she knew
it'd be a rough night.

The contract was for window
gates for schools in Queens.

Four of the suppliers
conspired to jack up their bids.

Brody bowed out. Said he
couldn't meet the delivery schedule.

He still could have rolled on those guys.
Talk to Charlie Reid in the Rackets Bureau.

He owes me one.

If it's all right, I'd
like to go with you.

Sure. You can carry
me up the stairs.

If it's not cars, it's boats.

There's something
stuck in the rigging.

[Eames] Oh, how exciting.
Well, I'm off to the D.A. 's office.

- Coming?
- What is it?

Lint? Uh, blue sweater lint.

Last call for the D.A.'s office.

Thanks. Maybe next time.

Like something is broken
off the top of the masthead,

right above the shroud.

Maybe a flagpole.

We're gonna go
look for it, aren't we?

Yeah.

[Knocking]

Who is it? It's me. Leo.

Come in.

I just wanna say I'm
sorry for Mrs. Brody.

She was a very nice lady.

Thanks.

Good night, Mr. Brody.

Ah, blue sweater.

The New York Yacht Club flag.

Lena hid the boat in here,

but she told Brody
that she threw it away.

To provoke an argument?

Then she put the boat
back when he was asleep?

To make him look like a liar.

The defensive wounds
that didn't defend.

The strangling
that didn't choke.

The Percocet to dull the pain.

She staged it.
She killed herself.

Just to frame her husband?

That's insane.

Or desperate.

All the defensive wounds are
in straight up-and-down lines.

That's very
uncharacteristic of an attack.

And they're superficial.

Most defense wounds
are usually deep.

The blood near the
workbench, that was her too?

To make it appear
there was a chase.

Her husband was abusing her.

Maybe she thought killing
herself was her only way out.

And framing him was her payback.

I can go with the suicide, but what's the
evidence he abused her? One bruised wrist?

You know, maybe it
was worse than abuse.

Something that
she couldn't live with.

I'll keep it on the books
as an open homicide.

It's a nice place you have here.
You bought it, what, two months ago?

[Sighs] It happened so quickly.

[Bishop] Brand-new
Joy of Cooking.

My mother bought me one
when I got my first apartment.

Was there a reason
you decided to move out?

Uh, it was Mom, actually.

She offered me the down payment.

Just out of the blue?

Was there something going on
at home between your parents?

There was nothing.

I know what you want me to say,
but my father did not kill my mother.

[Goren] W-We know that.

We think your
mother killed herself.

You told us that your mother
was a very positive person.

Well, that's why it's
important for us to figure

out why she did this
terrible thing to herself.

You... You can't be right. Well, maybe
she told a close friend or her parents.

Her parents passed away
in Argentina a few years ago.

And if there was anything,
she would have told me about it.

Your mother left Argentina
in the mid-'70s, right?

There were death
squads, kidnappings.

You sure there wasn't
some trauma that triggered...

No. No. I-I volunteer with
her at Refugees International.

I've heard all her stories.
Nothing like that ever happened.

[Goren] Uh, Claire.

Some people, they
hurt themselves...

out of shame or guilt.

And maybe your father
did something to her. No.

Or to you? Dad
didn't do anything.

And Mom didn't
do this to herself.

There's no reason. She
would have told me if there was.

Two months ago, Lena got
her daughter out of her home...

and set her up in her own place.

She was clearing the
decks for her final act.

Two months ago was the last time
anybody saw Brody at the old age home.

Lena was lovely.

We used to have
little chats together.

Uh, but then she
got busy, I guess.

Actually, Mr. Seligman,
the office told us...

that Lena was caught accessing your
financial information on the computer.

[Chuckles] Yes, I heard
about that, but I didn't care.

This man, do you know him?

Lena's husband. Uh...

I saw him once in the sunroom...

uh, when my daughter's family
came to take me out to dinner.

And then I think we passed
him as we pulled out of the home.

What was he doing, watching you?

Uh, I wouldn't say watching.
He... He was sitting in his car.

- Is this your daughter?
- Uh, yes, that's Ruth.

And the kids are
Jeffrey and Sarah.

That's Sam, alav hashalom.

Alav hashalom. Your
son-in-law, he passed away.

Y-Yes. Uh, in May.
He was mugged.

Uh, Lena gave me a
card. I think I still have it.

She wrote something
very nice in Spanish.

"En Gan Eden este."

Uh, she said it meant, uh, "May
his soul be in the Garden of Eden."

My Spanish must be
rustier than I thought.

Y-Your son-in-law,

was there an injury to his leg?

They broke his knee,

and then beat him to death.

How can I go to the
funeral tomorrow?

I don't even know
who she is anymore.

Your mother had her dark moods.

She hid them from you.

We both did, to protect you.

You should have told me!

You're always
hiding your emotions.

Both of you are
always hiding from me.

Claire, please don't be angry.

Don't hate me. I know,
I know you're angry.

Please, please, don't hate me.

[Sobbing] I couldn't take it.

Sam Landau, 42, May 14.

He was coming from Fordham University
Library. Got mugged on the way to his car.

Case is still open.
Blunt instrument.

Two whacks.

Hmm.

And one to the right knee.

Shattered the kneecap.
That's what brought him down.

Brody tensed up when I showed
him the photo of his wife's knee injury.

See, he knew.

This is why Lena
made this bruise.

She was telling us...

what her husband had done.

Lena I recognize from
my father's nursing home.

He talked about
her all the time.

But her husband? Never seen him.

Did your husband have a lot of contact
with Lena during your visits to the home?

No, no. I was the one
who talked to the staff.

We believe that there is a connection
between your husband and Mr. Brody.

Maybe it was financial. Maybe he
borrowed some money or invested.

No, no, no. My husband
was an academic.

We were very careful
with our money.

H-He's a complete stranger.

Why... Why would he kill
him? It doesn't make any sense.

Thank you for coming
in, Mrs. Landau.

We're sorry about your husband.

[Goren] Um, one last thing.

Were you involved in a fender bender
during the week after your husband's death?

I was sitting shivah. My car
was in the garage all week.

Okay. Uh, thanks.

What's that about her
car? The D. M. V. said...

an insurance company called
for the plates on Landau's car.

They wanted to know his particulars in
regards to a hit-and-run fender bender.

This was after Landau
was dead? [Bishop] Yes.

- Any connection to Brody?
- The insurance company's
not Brody's or Landau's.

Maybe we can't find a
connection because there isn't one.

Well, Lena thought
there was. Um...

That's why she looked at the
records of Landau's father-in-law.

And why she did this.

Landau was killed, what, May 14?

What was Brody doing?

On May 14? I don't remember. I have
to take my aunt to the Port Authority.

All we need to talk to you is for
a minute. I-I can take this for you.

Refugees International was having a
leadership training program that night.

They told us your
mother was there.

Uh, I went with her.
That's what they told us.

Do you know what
time you got home?

Some time between
9:30 and 10:00.

What does this have to do
with... Where was your dad?

He was at home, taking a shower.
He'd just gotten back from work.

Is that what he usually does when
he gets home, he takes a shower?

No, he had trouble with
his car. He got dirty fixing it.

His clothes, were
they dirty too?

No. He keeps a pair of
coveralls from work in the trunk.

They were in the washer when we got
home; Mom put them in the dryer. What?

You're still on my dad's case?

My mom committed suicide.
She had depression all her life.

And you just found
that out from your father.

I always thought Dad was
good at hiding his feelings.

Now I know they both
were. We have to go.

We're sorry about your sister.

Sister-in-law.

Aunt Joy's my father's sister.
She came in for the funeral.

Now she has to catch
a bus back to Albany.

Sam Landau was
mugged just before 9:00.

Gives Brody plenty
of time to get home,

dump his bloody coveralls into
the wash and jump into the shower.

She said her father was
good at hiding his feelings.

Let's see how good he
is at hiding them at us.

[Lance] What's the
deal with the coveralls?

Can we get a pair, see
what they look like? Sure.

Might need to show
them around. Mm-hmm.

You suffer from anxiety?

I, uh... Xanax.

Y-You, uh, you take Xanax.

My wife committed
suicide. I'm not sleeping.

Yeah, I'm anxious.

I'll get those coveralls, and
then I'll have to ask you to leave.

You told your daughter
your wife suffered

from depression. Was
she seeing anyone for it?

No, no. She didn't
believe in shrinks.

You know, people that have depression,
they're, well, they're manipulative.

Did you notice that?
She was. She was.

You know, I-I mixed that up.

Actually, uh, manipulation is
not a symptom of depression.

Manipulation is a symptom of
the psychopathic personality.

Well, Lena was a
complicated person.

Well, maybe she's manipulative
because she's hiding something.

Uh, don't touch
anything on the floor.

You ever handle one of these?

Hey, I worked the line 12 years.
I worked my way up to partner.

This thing would come in handy
in a dangerous situation, you know.

You keep one of these
in your car for protection?

You know, bad guys, they
really do that, you know.

One good hit in the knee,
bring you down for good.

The kneecap, just
shatters into pieces.

Why don't you put that thing down
before you hurt somebody. Like this.

By the way, that kneecap?
Belongs to Sam Landau.

Who? Son-in-law of
one of Lena's patients.

He was murdered last
May. I don't know the man.

There you go doing that thing
with your thumb and your forefinger.

That's because I'm
trying to control myself, to

keep from physically
throwing you out of my plant.

That right there,
that's irritability.

That's one of the paradoxical
side effects of Xanax, you know.

It's used to keep people
calm, but sometimes it...

Well, you use it. Describe
how it's making you feel.

I wouldn't know. This
is my first time taking it.

Is it? You should be careful,
'cause it can sneak up on ya.

Well, he's a better boat builder
than he is a liar. The pill bottle?

Mm-hmm? It indicated a
refill. He's taken Xanax before.

Seems like a petty
thing to lie about.

Well, it's the little lies
that tell the big story.

The previous refill
was on May the 12th.

Two days before
Landau was killed.

He was settling his
nerves for the big event.

There was another
refill before that?

Yes. Let me see. Last September.

When Lena started
working at the nursing home.

And the first time that
Brody dropped in on her.

Jeff Demsky, killed in Jersey City
last September. Same M.O. as Landau.

Blow to the right knee,
two whacks to the head.

Classified as a mugging.

He's the nephew of a resident
at Lena's nursing home.

Both crimes at night,
deserted area, no witnesses.

- He's pretty good.
- He's a work in progress.

In addition to his
shattered kneecap,

Demsky had a hairline
fracture to his lateral condyle.

Now, Brody hit him
twice in the knee.

With Landau, he
only needed one shot.

He's on a learning curve.

It's not your fault.

[Sobbing] I know you're good.

It was him. We
were fine before...

What do you want?

I'm not weak anymore.

Eight murders over seven years.

All of them with similar M.O.'s.

The first one, uh, Mark Simmons.

Multiple hits to both knees.
Multiple hits to the head.

Went into a coma
for two days and died.

Brody's aim improved.

And all the victims have a
connection to the Brodys?

Only four. Besides
Landau and Demsky,

we have Rafe Benjamin
and Eric Sumners.

They both worked in New York
Hospital when Lena worked there.

Then maybe all we're dealing
with is a statistical anomaly.

The M.E. noted "special requests"
for the handlings of the bodies.

Uh, the first one,
uh, Mark Simmons?

The family requests
burial within 24 hours.

Jean-Michel Levigne...
Family refuses autopsy.

Eric Simmons...
Burial within 24 hours.

And Rafe Benjamin,

Jonathan Daniels, Phillip
Burns... All the same requests.

They're all Jewish.
Brody's killing Jews.

And Lena found out.

No swastikas, no
anti-Semitic literature.

We're still checking the
computer, but I came across this.

[Weed Whacker Whirring]

[Goren] Uh, Mr. Prescott.

We found your business
card in, uh, Brody's kitchen.

Y-You're an insurance
adjuster. Uh, yes.

You didn't happen to look up a license
plate of a Sam Landau a while back?

Yes. Lena asked me. She
bumped into a parked car.

You know, you don't remember
what she wrote it on, do you?

A folded little scrap of paper. It was
hard to read. Paper had gotten wet.

From the wash in
Brody's coveralls.

Lena found a number.
She was suspicious.

When she knew whose car it was,
she started putting things together.

Hey, uh, I thought
she killed herself.

That's what it's looking like.

Brody, he's... he's very angry.

He says that those
people drove her to it.

What people? You know,
from the nursing home.

That's for Jewish people.

Yeah, right, those people.

You know, he must be quite
an open-minded guy, you know,

otherwise he wouldn't
have let her work there.

No, Lance isn't a big
fan of Jewish people.

Well, why'd she take the job?

I don't think she knew before.
She sure found out after.

Why? What happened?

Lena kept after him to go with
her to this, uh, meal, at the home.

This... This religious meal.
And finally, he just said, uh,

"I'm not missing the play-offs to eat
cracker ball soup with a bunch of..."

Well, he used the "K"
word is what you call it now.

Right, uh, the "K" word.

Thanks.

Well, Lena was testing him, goading
him into showing his true colors.

You know, she
wanted to make sure...

about his anti-Semitism.

All these years she didn't know?

Well, or... didn't know
how vicious it was.

The first victim... was
killed seven years ago.

I mean, it just didn't
happen out of the blue.

Yes, that's right,
seven years ago.

Our mother died of
cancer. She was 64.

Could have told you
that on the phone.

Uh, well, we like
getting out of the city.

Um, how did your brother
take your mother's death?

I'm not sure I wanna
discuss my brother with you.

Well, we're thinking that
they were pretty close.

I mean, she lived
up here in Troy,

but he buried her in Queens,
near to where he lives.

Lance thought he let her down.

How? By not making sure
that she got the best of care?

H-Her doctors
were Jewish? Asian?

No, he was Indian.

He was very caring.
Even Lena thought so.

She was close to your mother?

Lena and Mom liked
each other. She...

Lena called her "esfuegra."

That's Spanish
for "mother-in-law."

You mean, "suegra." Esfuegra.

Lena had to write it down
so I could sound it out.

I don't think Lance tried to learn one
word of Spanish his whole time with Lena.

Your brother didn't put himself
out much for people, did he?

Must be, uh, painful, being
estranged from your only brother.

What happened
between the two of you?

That's none of your business.

We stopped by the Troy
Police on our way over here.

Your father was arrested three times for
assaulting your mother and your brother.

He never beat you?

I never tried to get in his way.

Um, but Lance did? He
tried to protect your mother?

Yeah.

The more he tried, the
harder Dad beat her.

Once he broke her
shoulder with an andiron.

Lance tried to protect your mom.

But you didn't.

Did you think that she deserved it?
Did you think that she disappointed you?

No, no, not just
me, the whole family.

She had an affair.

Yeah, and got pregnant.

Dad made up a story...
She was taken advantage of.

I knew. I saw her with
him. She worked for him.

I was 16. I knew
what flirting looked like.

And Lance was 12,

and he believed the story.

And he didn't blame your
mom, he didn't blame your dad.

He blamed the man he
thought raped his mother.

Her boss. Her Jewish boss.

Having an affair is one
thing, but with a Jew?

How could she?

Brody idealized his mother. He
saw her as an innocent victim...

that was raped by a man
that had power over her.

Now, her death triggered a rage
that he repressed for 30 years.

So he vented this rage
on innocent Jewish men.

Men, who were the same age, with
the same physical characteristics...

as his mother's employer.

Maybe the same perpetrator
committed these crimes,

but that perpetrator
may not be Mr. Brody.

Well, his wife
staked her life on it.

And people also commit suicide
out of shame and helplessness.

You know, there's
something... there's something

about this crime that
it just cuts so deep.

I have to call my friend
Steven from Princeton.

He's a linguist.

Ladino. Lena was
speaking Ladino.

We need to call Buenos Aires.

This isn't possible. My mother
was depressed. She was delusional.

She saw the truth, and
she was overwhelmed.

What truth?

The reason why she
got you out of the house.

These are her parents'
death certificates.

Copies were sent to her from Argentina
four years ago after her father died.

I don't see what this
has to do with anything.

Look. Your mother had
no idea until she saw these.

My God.

This doesn't matter.
You don't know my dad.

He's not a bigot.
He's not a murderer.

All right. Prove us wrong.

Honey, what are you...
Claire, are you okay?

She's fine, Mr. Brody. We're about ready
to close the file on your wife's death.

We found some new
evidence in your wife's suicide.

Your daughter wanted
us to share it with you.

What is it?

They found the death
certificates from Mom's parents.

Okay.

Those names on there...
Diego and Eva Calderera.

Calderera. That was
Lena's family's name.

The name underneath it.

It says "Levinson," doesn't it?

This must be a mistake.
These are for the wrong people.

No, Dad. Mom's parents changed
their name when they got married.

They wanted to move
up in Argentinean society.

They figured they'd have a better
chance with the name Calderera.

Levinson's a Jewish name. Lena
wasn't, so her parents couldn't be Jewish.

You know those Spanish
words that Lena used to use?

You know, like, um, "esfuegra."

It's actually a Jewish dialect
of Spanish. It's called Ladino.

And she picked that
up from her parents.

Lena was not Jewish.

I-I would have known
if she was. I could tell.

Really? You can tell?

She would have told me. Twenty-two years
of marriage, she would have said something.

She didn't know till
she saw the certificates.

This is not possible.

Dad, if Mom was
Jewish, then so am I.

Don't say that!

It's true.

You are not Jewish.
You are my daughter.

And don't you dare accuse your
poor deceased mother of being a...

Accuse?

My wife was not a Jewess.

You are not a Jewess.

Claire. Claire.

Claire. Claire, please stop!

Tell her these are lies. If this
were true, Lena would have told me.

Uh, you think so? Knowing
how you feel about Jews?

I don't care about Jews.
You don't care about them?

Even after what that Jewish
man did to your mother?

Your sister told us.

Be quiet about my mother.
I don't wanna hear about...

I do. I wanna know.

His mother was raped
by her Jewish boss.

[Goren] That's the
way the story goes.

I mean, maybe she just,
you know, liked Jewish men.

You know? They excited
her. The whole forbidden fruit.

You shut your dirty mouth. He
took advantage of her. He raped her.

Is that why your dad
beat your mom, huh?

Why he broke her
shoulder with an andiron?

Because he couldn't
do it to the Jew.

That guy had connections.
My dad would have lost his job.

- You could have done something?
- What? I was too young.

So you did nothing. You
just watched your dad...

beat your mom to a pulp.

Watched him tear your family
apart. All because of the Jew?

Yes. You couldn't
protect your mom?

Even when she got sick,
that was his fault too?

She got cancer down there
where the Jew had been.

He infected her. Stop it!

The disease, it ate her up.

And you could do nothing,
except for, well, choke...

on your rage and your hate.

And then her death, well,
that was too much, Lance.

You couldn't keep it in anymore.

You had to make him pay.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

But he was long dead, huh?

Long dead, but
there were plenty.

Plenty of men like him, huh?

Pushy, grabby, arrogant Jews.

Thirty years you waited, right?

- How'd it feel? Did it feel good?
- I didn't kill anyone.

- Mark Simmons. Rafe Benjamin.
- No!

You owed it to her, huh?
Jeff Demsky. Sam Landau.

Stop it!

[Pipe Clatters On Ground]

Lena figured it out.

Imagine how she felt.

A Jewish woman
married to a Jew killer.

I'm not. The horror that you
used her to find your victims.

- Not true!
- The terror...

that one day you might turn your
rage against your own daughter.

- Never. I would never do that!
- Your own Jewish daughter.

Never!

[Goren] Lena wasn't
gonna take that chance.

She couldn't prove that
you killed those men,

[Sighs] but she knew.

And if she couldn't send
you to jail for killing them,

she was gonna send
you to jail for killing her.

This is all a bunch
of lies. All of it.

Claire, I know these
people. They'll say anything.

Claire, come on. I loved
your mother, but she was sick.

Why, because she was Jewish?

Stop saying that!

[Goren] You know, there's
one thing that Lena overlooked.

She had the proof.
She just didn't realize it.

[Bishop] The piece of paper
she found in your coveralls.

The one with
Landau's plate number.

She made a photocopy of it
and gave it to your neighbor.

Oh, what, so now you're
gonna bring Richie into this?

Lena asked him to call the D.M.V. That's
how she found out it was Landau's number.

And the paper is gone. I
mean, you probably got rid of it.

But your neighbor, he
made a photocopy of it.

[Paper Crinkling]

This is Landau's plate
number in your handwriting.

This is some damn trick. Let
me see that. No, sorry. This is...

Let me see it!

Anybody can copy handwriting.

You're trying to
scare me. [Chuckles]

This isn't even
the right number.

- It's not Landau's number?
- No. It's...

[Goren] Well, how
do you know it's not?

Oh, God! Claire.

[Goren] You know, because
you stalked Sam Landau.

You memorized his number.

You tricked me.
You see this, Claire?

You see this? This is just the
kind of sneaky thing you people do.

Sneaky? Like
seducing your mother?

That Jew raped her. Those Jews got
everything they had coming to them.

I had a right, after what
they did to your grandmother.

Your mother! They
killed your mother!

All right, enough. Get
your filthy hands off of me!

Lance Brody,
you're under arrest.

I know what you are!

Look what they do
to your father, Claire!

You're not one of
them! Don't believe it!

She's not a Jew!

My daughter! Can't you tell?

Just look at her!

She's not one of them!

Claire!

Claire!

Lena got what she wanted.

She stopped a killer.

But at what cost?

Maybe that's what
she couldn't live with.
