Blue Bloods s13e13 Episode Script
Past History
1
We're getting ready to knock,
so let's get into position.
(LAUGHTER INSIDE)
They're definitely in there.
MAN: Look, look, look
(KNOCKS SOFTLY)
What are you doing?
It's a knock warrant.
Doesn't say how hard we have to knock.
Yeah.
- (KNOCKS LOUDLY)
- Police.
Open up.
I'll be right there. (MUTTERING)
Just, uh, give me a moment.
(SPEAKS SPANISH)
(TOILET FLUSHING)
- Hit it.
- No, no. Wait.
Hit it. They're flushing
the damn drugs down the toilet.
You don't know that.
(TOILET FLUSHING)
If we don't go in right now,
there's gonna be nothing left.
It's a knock warrant.
And we knocked.
On the ground.
- Ay, dios mío.
- Hands.
Son of a bitch.
On the ground. Stand up.
Hands where I can see 'em.
(TOILET FLUSHING)
AGENT: Clear.
Clear here.
Can I help you with something, Officer?
Hey. Sorry I'm late.
What do we got? A suicide?
DANNY: No, looks like she was strangled.
And then posed?
Yeah, from the looks of it,
the rosary beads were placed
after she was already dead.
- Any signs of forced entry?
- No,
but the killer seems
to have left a note.
"Sufferings of this" present time
are not worthy to be compared
"with the glory which
shall be revealed to us."
So, we've got a religious nut
that wants to send a message.
Or just a nut who we need
to send a message to ourselves.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
I know, it's crazy.
Did someone call 911?
Yeah, we did.
Is anyone hurt?
He's in there.
(SIGHS)
29-David. Be advised
we have a DOA at this location,
appears to be a homicide.
- Ma'am, you can't be here.
- Send a bus and a supervisor.
This is a crime scene.
You need to step away.
Do you know who stabbed him?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
It was you.
Yeah, I did it.
I killed him.
You want to tell me
exactly what happened?
I'm not sure I should talk to you.
You spoke to the officers
at the scene this morning.
- I did, but I
- But what?
But one of the cops pulled me aside
and told me that
if I want to avoid jail,
I shouldn't talk to anyone
without my lawyer.
A cop told you this?
Yes.
Which one?
The nice one.
She said she'd help me.
Does this officer have a name?
(SIGHS)
Officer Janko.
I told Detective Hill to stand down
and wait for the occupants
to answer the door.
They were flushing drugs down the toilet
- while we waited outside.
- And his cowboy tactics
caused injury to a female inside
the apartment who was on the
- other side of the door.
- Come on, man, she was faking it.
When she files a civil suit,
are you gonna pay for it?
Could we please just stick
to the facts for now?
GREEN: Here's the facts.
We have FBI protocols.
Detective Hill can't just
do whatever he wants,
whenever he wants, and the rest
of the team be damned.
Okay, but in terms of the law,
Detective Hill didn't do anything wrong.
Once we knock,
if we hear toilets flushing
or drugs being destroyed,
we go in.
So, you're telling me
you're gonna do nothing?
No one said that.
He's your grandson, right?
Clearly, that makes him Teflon.
You asked for this meeting, Jeff.
If anyone is giving Detective Hill
special treatment, it's you.
I got nothing more to say.
(DOOR OPENS)
I don't know what that guy's problem is.
(SCOFFS) I do. It's you.
It's pretty clear you don't listen
and you can't take direction.
You're siding with him?
No one's taking sides with anyone.
If we had done things my way,
our
target would be in custody right now,
charged with
possession with intent to sell,
instead of back out on the street.
Boy
Sid, give us the room.
(SIGHS)
You ever notice how, when
you've got a beef with someone,
it's always that other person
who's always dead wrong?
I hadn't, no.
I have.
(SIGHS) You know, no one's perfect, Joe.
I know that. Do you know that?
I'm pretty sure I do.
Well, it can be hard to tell sometimes.
Especially when it suits
your take on things.
Agree to disagree.
Sorry, I can't do it on this.
♪
No, she wasn't religious,
as far as I know.
When's the last time you saw Sarah?
Night before last.
We went out to dinner.
Right around the block
from her apartment.
And what time was that?
8:00.
Then what?
Then I walked her home.
We kissed good night.
You didn't stay overnight with her?
I had a big presentation
early the next morning.
Was that unusual?
What unusual?
The presentation
or not staying the night?
Both.
Why?
Just a question.
Okay, well, I got a question for you.
Why don't you go and find
the guy who did this to Sarah?
What you're doing is trying to
figure out if I killed my girlfriend.
I'll save you the trouble.
I did not kill Sarah.
Any idea who did?
Any idea who
might've wanted to hurt her?
Maybe had a problem with her?
No.
And you know why?
Because she was
the nicest person I ever met.
Everyone loved her,
including me.
So, if you got any more questions,
talk to my lawyer.
(DOOR OPENS)
Did you speak to Jennifer Carpenter
when you responded to the crime scene?
Hi. Yeah.
She said that Duarte tried to rape her,
and she killed him in self-defense.
Allegedly.
You don't believe her?
I don't know. Were there any witnesses?
Any evidence?
Anyone to back up the story?
Well, what did she say?
She refused to speak with me.
She said an Officer Janko told her
to only speak with an attorney.
Well, that's true,
but I believe her, Erin.
She's not a murderer.
I'm sorry, I'm confused, are-are you
Jennifer Carpenter's attorney now?
Actually, I am.
(STAMMERS)
I'm representing Jennifer Carpenter.
Wait, she called you?
Ah
I called him.
Are you kidding me?
She asked for the best
defense attorney I know.
So, you counseled a defendant
who confessed
to murder not to speak to anyone,
and then you
secured them an attorney?
It was not like that.
Which part of that wasn't true?
If Jennifer asked for a lawyer,
it's Eddie's obligation
It's actually not her obligation
to secure a lawyer for people
who stab other people to death.
How about you stay
in your lane from now on?
Joe Hill did nothing wrong.
The FBI just does things
a different way.
But he's on an FBI task force,
so you're supposed to follow
their rule book.
Boss, I would've done
exactly what he did.
GARRETT: Of course you would.
Let's use that as the barometer
for all FBI-NYPD relations.
Sid would've done it.
(SCOFFS)
Well (SIGHS)
there's a way of doing things
that doesn't put
everybody's back up against the wall,
and clearly Joe has not learned
the art of that.
Like, play by the rules,
respect chain of command?
- Yeah.
- GORMLEY: In this instance,
he played by the rules.
Except you can't play by the NYPD rules
when the FBI is calling the shots.
BAKER: Obviously, he
ruffled some feathers,
but I do think it'll blow over.
Boss, my two cents? He's a good cop.
Yeah, with a chip on his
shoulder the size of a Buick.
Because his grandfather's the PC?
(SIGHS) If that were so,
he'd be like some trust fund kid,
born on third base
and thinks he hit a triple.
So, no.
He's not dumb and he's not shallow,
but
he is troubled.
About what?
(SIGHS)
Sid, I have no idea.
This is the last time.
Fair enough. We won't ask again.
She has petechiae in the eyes,
swollen lips, these marks on her neck.
She died due to asphyxiation
as a result of external pressure.
Manual strangulation.
Any signs of sexual assault?
We did a rape kit.
I'll rush the testing.
Was she tortured or anything?
She was bound.
These marks on her wrists.
Duct tape is my guess.
Anything else you could tell us?
Well, I think he took a trophy.
What kind of trophy?
See right here? A locket of her hair.
Too bad he didn't leave one.
No, surprisingly there was
no trace evidence.
And there's no chance
she cut that herself?
Maybe she got gum
stuck in it or something.
No. She had a perfect manicure.
She just had a pedicure.
Her legs were waxed.
Her eyebrows were done.
This was a young woman
who was very well put together.
She wasn't sloppy.
- Well, let's hope to God he was.
- (PHONE CHIMES)
Danny, we got another body.
BAEZ: Maryanne Kauffman.
25 years old.
Looks like she was strangled, too.
Same staged body, same rosary beads.
And another note.
"Return unto me,
for I have redeemed thee."
Looks like we have
a serial killer on our hands.
Yeah, it does.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Hi.
Hi. (SIGHS)
Can I come in?
Sure.
I take it you are not happy
that I've taken this case.
Just gonna be fodder
for the press, Jack.
Not to mention,
you didn't give me a heads-up
that Eddie called you in on this.
Erin, you broke up with
me because you thought
that I wouldn't look
good as your partner
coming up to your run,
but now you also want to
dictate what cases I'll take?
Did you really have to take the one
that I'm personally handling?
Oh, so now I'm supposed to say
to my clients,
"Hold on, I can't let you know
if I'm gonna represent you
"until I make sure that my
ex-wife isn't the prosecutor
on your case"? Seriously?
Okay, when you put it that way,
it does sound a little
Unreasonable?
Intrusive? Insulting? It is.
Okay, you made your point.
Jennifer Carpenter is my client now,
so please don't speak with
her unless I'm present.
Well, I would like
to speak to her to see
if she did act in self-defense
and to know whether or not
I should charge her.
No.
- No?
- No, you can't.
She made her statement,
so ball's in your court now.
May the best man or woman win.
BAEZ: Both of our victims 20s,
female, strangled.
Doesn't exactly narrow it down.
Anything else in common?
Different neighborhoods,
different gyms, jobs, clubs
I'm still looking, but so far nothing.
Well, there's this,
rosary beads.
- Maybe we follow them.
- (PHONE RINGING)
Reagan.
Yeah, we're working that case. Why?
Okay.
All right. 15 minutes.
That's Rosanna Diaz from the Ledger.
She said she got a letter from a guy
claiming to be the one
who killed our two vics.
(SIGHS)
It arrived this morning.
We need to know everyone
who had contact with it
once it came out of the envelope.
Uh, me, our photographer, my editor.
Maybe we should be asking
who didn't touch it.
We were careful, but we had
to run with it. It's news.
Well, no, it's evidence,
and if it's contaminated now,
that's a problem.
I didn't have to call you at all.
Well, we can just charge you
with tampering physical evidence.
And I can tell you to kiss my ass.
All right, time-out.
Why don't we just start over?
Okay? Where is it?
ROSANNA: Arrived at 2:15.
- Arrived how?
- Mail.
I assumed it was legit
because he sent these pictures
of Sarah and Maryanne with it.
DANNY: "I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to do it,
"but I can't help myself.
"I hope the police
are smart enough to find me
before I have to do it again."
Let's get Crime Scene up here.
Detective Hill asked
if he could have a moment.
Oh.
Temperature?
Simmering.
Okay. (CHUCKLES)
Let's have him.
(DOOR CLOSES)
You transferred me to the
chief of D's office? Why?
When you commit an error in the field,
you generally are taken off the field.
I didn't do anything wrong.
I followed the letter of the law.
There is a chain of command.
Last time I looked,
you weren't at the top of it.
So this assignment is,
what, like a time-out?
Like I'm not playing well with others?
My hope is that
you will use it as a time to reflect.
On my shortcomings?
On your potential and what the obstacles
may be to achieving it.
You describe my old man as a
a hard charger, a "first one in"
kind of guy, right?
So maybe what this is actually about
is you trying to make sure that
history doesn't repeat itself.
Maybe reflect on that.
Hold on.
(SIGHS) I have reflected
on just that,
many times,
often in the middle of the night,
and I can tell you
one thing for certain
whatever this thing of ours is,
it ain't that.
Just so's you know.
(WRITING)
ABETEMARCO: Hey.
Detectives were swamped, so I helped
reinterview a bunch of the
women in the office and, uh
And what are you doing here?
I offered to help.
I think you've helped enough.
JANKO: Well, I just feel
strongly that this woman
is telling the truth.
Yeah, well, then why even bother
investigating
if you feel so strongly she's innocent?
There's something about this case.
With you, there's always
something about every case,
every time.
You overstepped on so many levels,
I don't even know where to begin.
Erin, if you just take a look at
I think you should go back
to patrol, Eddie.
I've got this.
You know, not for nothing,
she really helped.
Not for nothing is something,
and I know she wants to help,
but you know what the road
to hell is paved with?
Yes, but apparently
the road to promotion
at Duarte's company is sex.
How so?
We talked to almost everyone
who worked there.
They all say that Duarte
had a reputation
for forcing sex on his female employees.
Is there any record of complaints?
Nothing in the online complaint system.
I subpoenaed HR records.
His M.O. seems to be
to handpick and hire
young, attractive women
and hold promotion
over their heads for sex.
And if they say no, well,
guy like that, it's not a big
leap for him to force himself.
And how about Jennifer Carpenter?
According to co-workers, Jennifer
told them that Duarte raped her.
And did she file a report?
She did not. No.
So, she was raped, and instead
of filing a report with the police,
she decided to get revenge
by stabbing him?
She's claiming that she only stabbed him
out of fear for her life.
Well, Jack knows his best shot
is to convince the jury
that it was self-defense.
So you think it was premeditated?
I mean, I need to know if she believed
he was using
or going to use deadly physical force.
I mean, were there any
injuries or defense wounds?
No.
Did any of these other women
witness the attempted rape
or the subsequent murder?
No, Jennifer arrived early,
as did Duarte.
And what about the murder weapon?
A seven-inch fixed blade knife.
Find out where that
murder weapon came from
and who owns it.
You got it.
Just blurted it out like that?
Yeah, she didn't try to hide anything.
Maybe that's why I believed her.
Sh-She even looked traumatized.
- Please, um
- Okay.
And Badillo, what did he think?
Um, I mean, he believed her, too,
but you should probably
talk to him directly about that.
I will, but this really helps.
So, what happened?
Uh, I can't really share with
you what Jennifer said to me.
No, not this. What happened
with you and Erin?
I mean,
you two seemed perfect for each other.
Um
Uh, we are. Or, uh,
we-we were.
Then why'd you break up
in the first place?
Um, uh, we were too young
when we got married.
We were too young
when we became parents.
There's plenty of people get
married young, and have kids young.
Yup, they're, um,
they're not both lawyers,
juggling careers, uh, and a baby,
and they're not married into a
a very Irish Catholic family
that was very opinionated and vocal
about every move that we made.
Mm, so you blame the family?
No. No, no, no.
Um, I, uh, I blame me.
Um
I wasn't, uh, mature enough
for all of that.
Kind of the, the poster boy
for, uh, "don't know what
you got until it's gone."
But, I mean, it's not gone.
You can still fix it.
You could still be together.
Erin's priority right now
is making D.A.,
and I don't fit into that equation.
I mean, she actually thinks that
being seen with me
would hurt her chances.
So, you're just gonna walk away?
Much as I appreciate
your concern for us,
uh, a relationship takes
two committed people to work.
Back to the case?
Right this way, Doc.
Hey.
Hey, this is Dr. Walker,
forensic psychologist.
Thanks for helping out.
DANNY: Why don't you have a seat?
(CLEARS THROAT) I looked
at everything you sent.
He's certainly meticulous
and very intelligent.
He's covered his tracks,
and that takes a lot
of thought to be able to evade
seasoned homicide detectives like you.
Okay, well, now that
we know how smart he is,
any suggestions on how we
can nail this son of a bitch?
He's white,
probably late-30s to mid-40s, single,
had some kind of tragic childhood,
an abusive one,
a warped relationship with his mother,
who was very religious, since
he's making a statement
with the rosary beads.
He has a post-graduate degree
and is bipolar.
You got all that from two bodies?
Can you tell us what he likes
to eat for breakfast?
Detective, it's not just the bodies,
it's the notes,
it's the posing,
the rosary beads,
strangulation,
the, uh, lack of trace evidence,
the Bible quotes.
Well, outside of the obvious,
we still can't make any connection
between the two victims.
They're both similar age, and they both
seem to have been meticulous
about their appearance.
That might be what he was killing.
Meticulousness? What, perfection?
Sophistication. Youth.
Uh, female empowerment.
- They're both brunette.
- Yes.
It's, uh, most likely
that his mother was a brunette,
and I'll assure you that
most of his victims will be.
Still, could really use some
thoughts on how we can get this guy.
He sent you a message. Several.
- Uh-huh.
- Perhaps you should send one back.
What are you suggesting?
Give him some attention.
Ask the public for help.
Can't give this guy
the satisfaction, Doc.
I mean, besides, we have no idea
what this guy looks like,
and we have no idea how
he chooses his victims.
- (PHONE CHIMES)
- He's killed two victims in 24 hours,
so he is in a cooling off period,
but who knows how long that will last?
The lab reached out.
They pulled a partial print
off the cross on the rosary beads.
- Did they run it?
- Yeah.
Comes back to a one Martin Langley,
and guess what. He owns
a religious supply store.
You don't say.
DANNY: Excuse me, sir.
Detective Reagan.
My partner's Detective Baez.
You have a minute?
Yeah, what can I do for you?
You recognize this?
Can I see?
Black onyx rosary beads.
I sell them.
Yeah, you want to tell me
what this is about?
Those were found
at two separate crime scenes
with fingerprints on them,
your fingerprints,
and they were the only fingerprints.
(CHUCKLES) Because I sell them.
- Mm-hmm.
- I handle them
when I'm packing them up for customers.
I even mail them myself.
Where were you Thursday between
the hours of 6:00 to 9:00 a.m.,
and 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.?
I spent the day with my mother.
She's in the Bristol in Great Neck.
You can call there. They'll verify.
Okay, we will.
Do you know of anyone who may
have purchased these recently?
A-a lot of people purchase them.
What about someone
who purchased several at once?
Um
Oh, yeah, now I remember.
There was a gentleman
who bought ten of these.
Ten?
We need to know who purchased them.
I'm sorry, he paid cash.
Okay, well, can you remember him at all?
Give us a description?
He was in his 40s,
he wore glasses and a suit,
and he kept complaining
because he'd gotten a ticket
for parking in the
"no standing" zone outside.
Outside, okay. Uh, how long ago?
About a month ago.
Uh-huh. I-I remember
he asked about the St. Benedict medal.
- St. Benedict?
- He say why?
No, but most people want
that particular one
because it's used to ward off evil.
Don't they all ward off evil?
Uh, somewhat.
But St. Benedict is the medal
used during exorcisms.
Chief asked me to drop these off
for the commissioner.
Thanks. Commissioner asked
if you'd say hi.
Thanks.
(DOOR OPENS)
(FRANK SIGHS)
Want to have a seat this time?
Did you have the chief
send me up here as an excuse
to get me to come in again?
(SIGHS) I'm pretty sure the
chief sent you up here himself
with some intel he wanted me to look at.
That's kind of how that goes.
It's just a coincidence
that you transferred me
so I'm right under your nose?
My chief of Ds is a wizard at making
almost any move he wants
while somehow staying
inside the box.
I just thought
maybe you could learn a thing or two
being around him.
Does every other cop that screws
up get sent to One PP for a week?
My only agenda here is to try to prevent
a potentially great cop
from getting himself
bounced off the job.
Your name is Joe Hill, but in that sense
it could just as easily be Joe Blow.
I never know where I stand with you.
Half the time I feel like
I'm competing with a ghost.
(SIGHS)
Whose ghost?
Come on.
Did you walk by a big
bronze statue of him
on your way in here?
Not literally.
Not anything.
He was a good cop
and could have been a great one.
He was your father and would
have been a great one.
He was my son, and he was
a wonderful son.
And he's gone way too soon. That's all.
How is that all?
No, I mean, that's everything.
He wasn't a legend or a mythical figure.
He was a good man,
and I wish he was still with us.
Most especially for you.
That's a good answer to a
question that neither of us asked.
The dynamic that I have with you,
that I have with your family,
didn't come out of a vacuum.
I'm being measured
against something here.
And if you tell me
that it's not against my father,
I'll believe you
It's not.
Then tell me what it is.
I can't.
You mean you won't.
No, I mean I can't right now.
I don't know which one of us
has the answer to that.
Well, if you figure it out,
you know where to find me.
I will be charging your client
with manslaughter in the first degree.
- For protecting herself?
- Oh, come on, Jack.
She told coworkers
he raped her in the past.
Yeah, exactly, and she didn't
want it to happen again.
She didn't file a report,
didn't go to the police.
We've both seen plenty of cases
of women afraid to come forward.
And she continued to work there?
Did it ever occur to you that
she couldn't afford to quit?
Did it ever occur to you
that this is revenge killing?
What, "hell hath no fury"?
No bruising, no marks,
no witnesses, no corroborations.
Her coworkers said
this was consensual sex,
and she was angry
she didn't get promoted.
Hearsay.
I haven't seen any evidence
that it's not cold-blooded.
A jury's not going to convict her.
She's sympathetic,
and he was a monster by all standards.
And there are plenty of
employees who can verify that.
"He had it coming"
is not much of a defense.
And justice is not only for
victims of good character, Jack.
If there are even a few women
on that grand jury,
you're not gonna get an indictment.
Watch me.
With pleasure.
Don't all talk at once.
Sorry, Pop, I'm a little preoccupied.
- Me, too.
- DANNY: No wonder.
Heard Jack's defending
Jennifer Carpenter.
Didn't realize he was
chasing ambulances now.
Apparently he gets personal invitations
from within the family.
- Who?
- Yeah, who?
Me, okay?
You could just say it, Erin.
I asked him.
So you're, uh, helping out
defense attorneys now?
Yeah, aren't you supposed to
be on the prosecutors' side?
I'm not on anyone's side.
The victim said he raped her.
She stabbed him because she was afraid
he was gonna rape her again.
Or it was premeditated.
But maybe we shouldn't
speak about this at family dinner.
Why not? We always talk shop.
Maybe this time we should take a break
- from bringing the work home.
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
- But tell the truth.
You were playing matchmaker,
weren't you?
I was not.
I can't blame you.
I always liked Uncle jack.
That makes one of us.
That's not what I was doing.
Well, this doesn't necessarily
have anything to do
with past history.
Exactly. My intentions were pure.
Oh, save it.
Maybe we could give each other
the benefit of the doubt.
Thank you.
Or they could just duke it out.
You've been spending
too much time with your dad.
- Sorry.
- JAMIE: You can deny it all you want,
but I think everything is
influenced by past history.
So, what, you're saying
people don't move on from things
or get over things?
They just harbor grudges?
No, but that's about
forgiveness, not amnesia.
Those who do not remember the past
are condemned to repeat it.
Remembering the past is good,
but sometimes it's just as good
to let it go.
Otherwise you get Irish Alzheimer's:
forget everything except the grudges.
JANKO: You know,
it's even worse doing dish duty with you
when you're not talking to me.
I thought the guy was like
a Harvey Weinstein type,
and I didn't want this woman
to get railroaded.
And what makes you think
I would railroad anyone?
Oh, that's not what I meant.
I meant I
I want her to have good representation.
So you went to Jack's office?
He had questions about her confession.
And you usually help out
the defense attorneys?
He's not just a defense attorney.
He's part of this family.
Hmm, technically not.
Okay, well, he's a great lawyer,
and that's why I called him. Okay?
Are you really gonna tell me
you didn't do this in some
misguided attempt
to get us to reconcile?
I mean, I'll admit it, I-I like the idea
of you two working together.
Is that so wrong?
Yeah, it is.
You two are perfect for each other.
Everyone else might not agree,
but I see it whenever you're together.
And I don't want you
to miss out on the one guy
I've ever seen you happy with.
A Toyota Camry parked
in a "no standing" zone,
license plate number
2-X-ray-5107.
It's registered to a Dianne Corchran,
35, from Mineola.
Honda Pilot, Charlie-Nora-Thomas-4712.
Wait a minute, read me that again.
Charlie-Nora-Thomas-4712.
- This can't be.
- What?
It's registered to a Dr. Walker.
Our Dr. Walker?
Well, that's a damn good question.
(SIGHS)
Is the doctor in? Great.
We'll find our way back.
Don't worry about it.
You can't go in there.
He said not to disturb him.
- We'll just be a minute.
- RECEPTIONIST: Excuse me!
Hello, Doc.
What can I do for you, Detectives?
You can start by telling us what
the hell kind of game you're playing.
I have no clue
what you're talking about.
You bought ten sets of rosary beads,
two of which ended up on murder victims.
Are you suggesting I put them there?
Murder victims that we
consulted you about.
Yet you didn't mention
those rosary beads, did you?
Hundreds of thousands of people
buy rosary beads.
Where were you between the hours
of 6:00 to 9:00 a.m.,
and 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. Thursday?
Well, most likely I was at home.
- I keep very regular hours.
- Do me a favor, Doc.
Take your hands out
of your pockets, please.
Right now! Step over there.
(CHUCKLES): This is ridiculous.
(CLEARS THROAT)
You giving haircuts now, Doc?
It's not what you think it is.
You're under arrest,
you sick son of a bitch.
- Hands behind your back.
- For the murders of Sarah Montgomery
Janine, call Solomon and Rubin
and tell them I need
their best criminal defense attorney.
may be used against you
in a court of law.
(HANDCUFFS CLICK)
(HUMMING)
Your client's looking at
two counts of murder.
He's innocent.
Oh, really? Well, great.
Then you won't mind him
answering a few questions for us
so we can clear up all the confusion.
My client is a sick man, Detective.
You think?
If he's innocent,
he should be able to give us an alibi.
My client is suffering from
extreme psychiatric distress
brought on by his arrest
at his place of work.
Or maybe it was brought on by killing
two innocent young women.
(HUMMING) He's fearful and depressed,
and I fear for his safety.
I wonder how fearful and depressed
Sarah and Maryanne were
before he killed them.
You want to talk about that, Doc?!
If you forgive others
their sins against you
Dr. Walker, do not say another word.
your heavenly Father
- will also forgive you.
- Dr. Walker!
- Dr. Walker!
- Hey!
- Hey, stop! Hey!
- Dr. Walker!
- BAEZ: We need some help in here!
- Stop! Stop.
Come on.
Get him a bus seat.
Heavenly Father, forgive them
their trespasses.
Shut up.
He's clearly faking it.
Look, I'd be happy to
encourage my client
to answer your questions,
but he clearly doesn't have
the mental capacity
to sit through an interrogation.
I'd like him evaluated
by a professional.
You really think he's gonna get out of
these charges he's facing
by pretending to be crazy?
I think he won't face any charges
because everything you have
is circumstantial.
- Well, we'll see about that.
- Fine.
Get him to Bellehaven Psychiatric,
or I will file a 730
with the judge. Thank you.
He knew what he was doing.
He planned those murders!
What?
The hairs we got from his office,
they don't match either of our victims.
(GROANS, CHUCKLES)
(SIGHS)
Erin, how did it go?
(SIGHS)
Grand jury refused to indict.
They didn't see Jennifer
Carpenter as a killer,
they saw her as a victim
who fought back.
And in today's climate,
that's all that matters.
I'm sorry.
You're sorry you won or that
she got away with murder?
If it's any consolation, I believe her.
I believe he raped her,
and I believe that she
stabbed him in self-defense.
Well, he may have raped her,
but this was cold, calculated revenge.
She went to that office early
to kill him, and she planned it.
But I can't make a case
based on my gut, so
you win.
Just for the record,
I don't feel much
like a winner at all these days.
(SIGHS)
Erin. I've been calling you.
Oh. I was in the grand jury.
I didn't have my phone.
I finally found out where
the murder weapon came from.
Jennifer Carpenter purchased
a hunting knife
the day before the murder.
Even asked if it could
kill a large animal.
Anthony, the grand jury voted
not to indict.
It's too late.
WALKER: It is written,
"Vengeance is mine.
I will repay the faithless
with everlasting darkness."
You're gonna pay, all right.
Shut your mouth.
Sir, you're gonna hurt yourself.
He'll be fine.
"If your enemies are hungry, feed them.
"If they're thirsty,
- give them a drink."
- I'm gonna get security.
Thank you.
All right, knock it off already.
Nobody's buying your crap.
I killed all of them.
I know you killed all of them.
All two of them, Doc.
That's what you think.
- How many were there, Doc?
- Let's go, Dr. Walker.
Wait a minute, how many were there?
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
- What the hell are you talking about?
- Detective,
let go of him. Step aside!
WALKER: "How long will
the wicked triumph?"
How many were there, Doc?
- We got it from here.
- "How long will the wicked triumph?"
Hello?
FRANK: Sunroom.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Uh, where's Henry?
Oh, he's out with the boys
from his days in the 3-5.
Hey, come on, sit down.
This for me?
It is.
Bourbon.
It was your dad's favorite.
(SIGHS)
Uh, I was unfair to you the other day,
and I owe you an apology.
Uh, actually, I picked his brain,
and he shared a lot of great stuff.
So if anything, I actually
owe you a thanks.
Uh, I don't mean about
the desk assignment.
Oh.
(SIGHS) Look
of course you feel compared
to your father.
We knew him. You never even met him.
We lost him.
He was never really yours to lose.
And then we found you.
And I'm sure you felt like
you were kind of being
X-rayed sometime.
Like we figured some shadow
or shape in you
would bring him back to us
for a moment.
So
I'm sorry for that.
Not necessary you put it that way.
Absolutely necessary.
And, uh, I don't apologize very often,
so enjoy it.
Okay. It is fun.
I, uh
Look, your dad was
a natural-born leader,
and I think you could be, too.
But it means you have to set the tone
for those under you,
especially as you rise in the ranks.
And I just think that
Well, you could do a better job
of being aware of that.
Fun while it lasted.
(CHUCKLES)
I, uh
well, I made something for you.
Is that him?
Yeah. And that's my hat.
He would sneak into my closet
and steal it all the time.
JOE: So, what,
he always wanted to be a cop?
FRANK: Kind of,
but I think it started when
he began copying whatever I did.
Greatest feeling in the world.
So he didn't like ties either, huh?
Hated ties. Suits, too.
That thing was covered in grass stains
an hour after church.
(LAUGHS) So he got a scolding,
and you know what,
he just marched right back out
and rolled down the hill again.
All right, so there is
a lesson in here, then?
Not a lesson. An observation.
♪
I see where this is going.
Then just enjoy the ride.
We're getting ready to knock,
so let's get into position.
(LAUGHTER INSIDE)
They're definitely in there.
MAN: Look, look, look
(KNOCKS SOFTLY)
What are you doing?
It's a knock warrant.
Doesn't say how hard we have to knock.
Yeah.
- (KNOCKS LOUDLY)
- Police.
Open up.
I'll be right there. (MUTTERING)
Just, uh, give me a moment.
(SPEAKS SPANISH)
(TOILET FLUSHING)
- Hit it.
- No, no. Wait.
Hit it. They're flushing
the damn drugs down the toilet.
You don't know that.
(TOILET FLUSHING)
If we don't go in right now,
there's gonna be nothing left.
It's a knock warrant.
And we knocked.
On the ground.
- Ay, dios mío.
- Hands.
Son of a bitch.
On the ground. Stand up.
Hands where I can see 'em.
(TOILET FLUSHING)
AGENT: Clear.
Clear here.
Can I help you with something, Officer?
Hey. Sorry I'm late.
What do we got? A suicide?
DANNY: No, looks like she was strangled.
And then posed?
Yeah, from the looks of it,
the rosary beads were placed
after she was already dead.
- Any signs of forced entry?
- No,
but the killer seems
to have left a note.
"Sufferings of this" present time
are not worthy to be compared
"with the glory which
shall be revealed to us."
So, we've got a religious nut
that wants to send a message.
Or just a nut who we need
to send a message to ourselves.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
I know, it's crazy.
Did someone call 911?
Yeah, we did.
Is anyone hurt?
He's in there.
(SIGHS)
29-David. Be advised
we have a DOA at this location,
appears to be a homicide.
- Ma'am, you can't be here.
- Send a bus and a supervisor.
This is a crime scene.
You need to step away.
Do you know who stabbed him?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
It was you.
Yeah, I did it.
I killed him.
You want to tell me
exactly what happened?
I'm not sure I should talk to you.
You spoke to the officers
at the scene this morning.
- I did, but I
- But what?
But one of the cops pulled me aside
and told me that
if I want to avoid jail,
I shouldn't talk to anyone
without my lawyer.
A cop told you this?
Yes.
Which one?
The nice one.
She said she'd help me.
Does this officer have a name?
(SIGHS)
Officer Janko.
I told Detective Hill to stand down
and wait for the occupants
to answer the door.
They were flushing drugs down the toilet
- while we waited outside.
- And his cowboy tactics
caused injury to a female inside
the apartment who was on the
- other side of the door.
- Come on, man, she was faking it.
When she files a civil suit,
are you gonna pay for it?
Could we please just stick
to the facts for now?
GREEN: Here's the facts.
We have FBI protocols.
Detective Hill can't just
do whatever he wants,
whenever he wants, and the rest
of the team be damned.
Okay, but in terms of the law,
Detective Hill didn't do anything wrong.
Once we knock,
if we hear toilets flushing
or drugs being destroyed,
we go in.
So, you're telling me
you're gonna do nothing?
No one said that.
He's your grandson, right?
Clearly, that makes him Teflon.
You asked for this meeting, Jeff.
If anyone is giving Detective Hill
special treatment, it's you.
I got nothing more to say.
(DOOR OPENS)
I don't know what that guy's problem is.
(SCOFFS) I do. It's you.
It's pretty clear you don't listen
and you can't take direction.
You're siding with him?
No one's taking sides with anyone.
If we had done things my way,
our
target would be in custody right now,
charged with
possession with intent to sell,
instead of back out on the street.
Boy
Sid, give us the room.
(SIGHS)
You ever notice how, when
you've got a beef with someone,
it's always that other person
who's always dead wrong?
I hadn't, no.
I have.
(SIGHS) You know, no one's perfect, Joe.
I know that. Do you know that?
I'm pretty sure I do.
Well, it can be hard to tell sometimes.
Especially when it suits
your take on things.
Agree to disagree.
Sorry, I can't do it on this.
♪
No, she wasn't religious,
as far as I know.
When's the last time you saw Sarah?
Night before last.
We went out to dinner.
Right around the block
from her apartment.
And what time was that?
8:00.
Then what?
Then I walked her home.
We kissed good night.
You didn't stay overnight with her?
I had a big presentation
early the next morning.
Was that unusual?
What unusual?
The presentation
or not staying the night?
Both.
Why?
Just a question.
Okay, well, I got a question for you.
Why don't you go and find
the guy who did this to Sarah?
What you're doing is trying to
figure out if I killed my girlfriend.
I'll save you the trouble.
I did not kill Sarah.
Any idea who did?
Any idea who
might've wanted to hurt her?
Maybe had a problem with her?
No.
And you know why?
Because she was
the nicest person I ever met.
Everyone loved her,
including me.
So, if you got any more questions,
talk to my lawyer.
(DOOR OPENS)
Did you speak to Jennifer Carpenter
when you responded to the crime scene?
Hi. Yeah.
She said that Duarte tried to rape her,
and she killed him in self-defense.
Allegedly.
You don't believe her?
I don't know. Were there any witnesses?
Any evidence?
Anyone to back up the story?
Well, what did she say?
She refused to speak with me.
She said an Officer Janko told her
to only speak with an attorney.
Well, that's true,
but I believe her, Erin.
She's not a murderer.
I'm sorry, I'm confused, are-are you
Jennifer Carpenter's attorney now?
Actually, I am.
(STAMMERS)
I'm representing Jennifer Carpenter.
Wait, she called you?
Ah
I called him.
Are you kidding me?
She asked for the best
defense attorney I know.
So, you counseled a defendant
who confessed
to murder not to speak to anyone,
and then you
secured them an attorney?
It was not like that.
Which part of that wasn't true?
If Jennifer asked for a lawyer,
it's Eddie's obligation
It's actually not her obligation
to secure a lawyer for people
who stab other people to death.
How about you stay
in your lane from now on?
Joe Hill did nothing wrong.
The FBI just does things
a different way.
But he's on an FBI task force,
so you're supposed to follow
their rule book.
Boss, I would've done
exactly what he did.
GARRETT: Of course you would.
Let's use that as the barometer
for all FBI-NYPD relations.
Sid would've done it.
(SCOFFS)
Well (SIGHS)
there's a way of doing things
that doesn't put
everybody's back up against the wall,
and clearly Joe has not learned
the art of that.
Like, play by the rules,
respect chain of command?
- Yeah.
- GORMLEY: In this instance,
he played by the rules.
Except you can't play by the NYPD rules
when the FBI is calling the shots.
BAKER: Obviously, he
ruffled some feathers,
but I do think it'll blow over.
Boss, my two cents? He's a good cop.
Yeah, with a chip on his
shoulder the size of a Buick.
Because his grandfather's the PC?
(SIGHS) If that were so,
he'd be like some trust fund kid,
born on third base
and thinks he hit a triple.
So, no.
He's not dumb and he's not shallow,
but
he is troubled.
About what?
(SIGHS)
Sid, I have no idea.
This is the last time.
Fair enough. We won't ask again.
She has petechiae in the eyes,
swollen lips, these marks on her neck.
She died due to asphyxiation
as a result of external pressure.
Manual strangulation.
Any signs of sexual assault?
We did a rape kit.
I'll rush the testing.
Was she tortured or anything?
She was bound.
These marks on her wrists.
Duct tape is my guess.
Anything else you could tell us?
Well, I think he took a trophy.
What kind of trophy?
See right here? A locket of her hair.
Too bad he didn't leave one.
No, surprisingly there was
no trace evidence.
And there's no chance
she cut that herself?
Maybe she got gum
stuck in it or something.
No. She had a perfect manicure.
She just had a pedicure.
Her legs were waxed.
Her eyebrows were done.
This was a young woman
who was very well put together.
She wasn't sloppy.
- Well, let's hope to God he was.
- (PHONE CHIMES)
Danny, we got another body.
BAEZ: Maryanne Kauffman.
25 years old.
Looks like she was strangled, too.
Same staged body, same rosary beads.
And another note.
"Return unto me,
for I have redeemed thee."
Looks like we have
a serial killer on our hands.
Yeah, it does.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Hi.
Hi. (SIGHS)
Can I come in?
Sure.
I take it you are not happy
that I've taken this case.
Just gonna be fodder
for the press, Jack.
Not to mention,
you didn't give me a heads-up
that Eddie called you in on this.
Erin, you broke up with
me because you thought
that I wouldn't look
good as your partner
coming up to your run,
but now you also want to
dictate what cases I'll take?
Did you really have to take the one
that I'm personally handling?
Oh, so now I'm supposed to say
to my clients,
"Hold on, I can't let you know
if I'm gonna represent you
"until I make sure that my
ex-wife isn't the prosecutor
on your case"? Seriously?
Okay, when you put it that way,
it does sound a little
Unreasonable?
Intrusive? Insulting? It is.
Okay, you made your point.
Jennifer Carpenter is my client now,
so please don't speak with
her unless I'm present.
Well, I would like
to speak to her to see
if she did act in self-defense
and to know whether or not
I should charge her.
No.
- No?
- No, you can't.
She made her statement,
so ball's in your court now.
May the best man or woman win.
BAEZ: Both of our victims 20s,
female, strangled.
Doesn't exactly narrow it down.
Anything else in common?
Different neighborhoods,
different gyms, jobs, clubs
I'm still looking, but so far nothing.
Well, there's this,
rosary beads.
- Maybe we follow them.
- (PHONE RINGING)
Reagan.
Yeah, we're working that case. Why?
Okay.
All right. 15 minutes.
That's Rosanna Diaz from the Ledger.
She said she got a letter from a guy
claiming to be the one
who killed our two vics.
(SIGHS)
It arrived this morning.
We need to know everyone
who had contact with it
once it came out of the envelope.
Uh, me, our photographer, my editor.
Maybe we should be asking
who didn't touch it.
We were careful, but we had
to run with it. It's news.
Well, no, it's evidence,
and if it's contaminated now,
that's a problem.
I didn't have to call you at all.
Well, we can just charge you
with tampering physical evidence.
And I can tell you to kiss my ass.
All right, time-out.
Why don't we just start over?
Okay? Where is it?
ROSANNA: Arrived at 2:15.
- Arrived how?
- Mail.
I assumed it was legit
because he sent these pictures
of Sarah and Maryanne with it.
DANNY: "I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to do it,
"but I can't help myself.
"I hope the police
are smart enough to find me
before I have to do it again."
Let's get Crime Scene up here.
Detective Hill asked
if he could have a moment.
Oh.
Temperature?
Simmering.
Okay. (CHUCKLES)
Let's have him.
(DOOR CLOSES)
You transferred me to the
chief of D's office? Why?
When you commit an error in the field,
you generally are taken off the field.
I didn't do anything wrong.
I followed the letter of the law.
There is a chain of command.
Last time I looked,
you weren't at the top of it.
So this assignment is,
what, like a time-out?
Like I'm not playing well with others?
My hope is that
you will use it as a time to reflect.
On my shortcomings?
On your potential and what the obstacles
may be to achieving it.
You describe my old man as a
a hard charger, a "first one in"
kind of guy, right?
So maybe what this is actually about
is you trying to make sure that
history doesn't repeat itself.
Maybe reflect on that.
Hold on.
(SIGHS) I have reflected
on just that,
many times,
often in the middle of the night,
and I can tell you
one thing for certain
whatever this thing of ours is,
it ain't that.
Just so's you know.
(WRITING)
ABETEMARCO: Hey.
Detectives were swamped, so I helped
reinterview a bunch of the
women in the office and, uh
And what are you doing here?
I offered to help.
I think you've helped enough.
JANKO: Well, I just feel
strongly that this woman
is telling the truth.
Yeah, well, then why even bother
investigating
if you feel so strongly she's innocent?
There's something about this case.
With you, there's always
something about every case,
every time.
You overstepped on so many levels,
I don't even know where to begin.
Erin, if you just take a look at
I think you should go back
to patrol, Eddie.
I've got this.
You know, not for nothing,
she really helped.
Not for nothing is something,
and I know she wants to help,
but you know what the road
to hell is paved with?
Yes, but apparently
the road to promotion
at Duarte's company is sex.
How so?
We talked to almost everyone
who worked there.
They all say that Duarte
had a reputation
for forcing sex on his female employees.
Is there any record of complaints?
Nothing in the online complaint system.
I subpoenaed HR records.
His M.O. seems to be
to handpick and hire
young, attractive women
and hold promotion
over their heads for sex.
And if they say no, well,
guy like that, it's not a big
leap for him to force himself.
And how about Jennifer Carpenter?
According to co-workers, Jennifer
told them that Duarte raped her.
And did she file a report?
She did not. No.
So, she was raped, and instead
of filing a report with the police,
she decided to get revenge
by stabbing him?
She's claiming that she only stabbed him
out of fear for her life.
Well, Jack knows his best shot
is to convince the jury
that it was self-defense.
So you think it was premeditated?
I mean, I need to know if she believed
he was using
or going to use deadly physical force.
I mean, were there any
injuries or defense wounds?
No.
Did any of these other women
witness the attempted rape
or the subsequent murder?
No, Jennifer arrived early,
as did Duarte.
And what about the murder weapon?
A seven-inch fixed blade knife.
Find out where that
murder weapon came from
and who owns it.
You got it.
Just blurted it out like that?
Yeah, she didn't try to hide anything.
Maybe that's why I believed her.
Sh-She even looked traumatized.
- Please, um
- Okay.
And Badillo, what did he think?
Um, I mean, he believed her, too,
but you should probably
talk to him directly about that.
I will, but this really helps.
So, what happened?
Uh, I can't really share with
you what Jennifer said to me.
No, not this. What happened
with you and Erin?
I mean,
you two seemed perfect for each other.
Um
Uh, we are. Or, uh,
we-we were.
Then why'd you break up
in the first place?
Um, uh, we were too young
when we got married.
We were too young
when we became parents.
There's plenty of people get
married young, and have kids young.
Yup, they're, um,
they're not both lawyers,
juggling careers, uh, and a baby,
and they're not married into a
a very Irish Catholic family
that was very opinionated and vocal
about every move that we made.
Mm, so you blame the family?
No. No, no, no.
Um, I, uh, I blame me.
Um
I wasn't, uh, mature enough
for all of that.
Kind of the, the poster boy
for, uh, "don't know what
you got until it's gone."
But, I mean, it's not gone.
You can still fix it.
You could still be together.
Erin's priority right now
is making D.A.,
and I don't fit into that equation.
I mean, she actually thinks that
being seen with me
would hurt her chances.
So, you're just gonna walk away?
Much as I appreciate
your concern for us,
uh, a relationship takes
two committed people to work.
Back to the case?
Right this way, Doc.
Hey.
Hey, this is Dr. Walker,
forensic psychologist.
Thanks for helping out.
DANNY: Why don't you have a seat?
(CLEARS THROAT) I looked
at everything you sent.
He's certainly meticulous
and very intelligent.
He's covered his tracks,
and that takes a lot
of thought to be able to evade
seasoned homicide detectives like you.
Okay, well, now that
we know how smart he is,
any suggestions on how we
can nail this son of a bitch?
He's white,
probably late-30s to mid-40s, single,
had some kind of tragic childhood,
an abusive one,
a warped relationship with his mother,
who was very religious, since
he's making a statement
with the rosary beads.
He has a post-graduate degree
and is bipolar.
You got all that from two bodies?
Can you tell us what he likes
to eat for breakfast?
Detective, it's not just the bodies,
it's the notes,
it's the posing,
the rosary beads,
strangulation,
the, uh, lack of trace evidence,
the Bible quotes.
Well, outside of the obvious,
we still can't make any connection
between the two victims.
They're both similar age, and they both
seem to have been meticulous
about their appearance.
That might be what he was killing.
Meticulousness? What, perfection?
Sophistication. Youth.
Uh, female empowerment.
- They're both brunette.
- Yes.
It's, uh, most likely
that his mother was a brunette,
and I'll assure you that
most of his victims will be.
Still, could really use some
thoughts on how we can get this guy.
He sent you a message. Several.
- Uh-huh.
- Perhaps you should send one back.
What are you suggesting?
Give him some attention.
Ask the public for help.
Can't give this guy
the satisfaction, Doc.
I mean, besides, we have no idea
what this guy looks like,
and we have no idea how
he chooses his victims.
- (PHONE CHIMES)
- He's killed two victims in 24 hours,
so he is in a cooling off period,
but who knows how long that will last?
The lab reached out.
They pulled a partial print
off the cross on the rosary beads.
- Did they run it?
- Yeah.
Comes back to a one Martin Langley,
and guess what. He owns
a religious supply store.
You don't say.
DANNY: Excuse me, sir.
Detective Reagan.
My partner's Detective Baez.
You have a minute?
Yeah, what can I do for you?
You recognize this?
Can I see?
Black onyx rosary beads.
I sell them.
Yeah, you want to tell me
what this is about?
Those were found
at two separate crime scenes
with fingerprints on them,
your fingerprints,
and they were the only fingerprints.
(CHUCKLES) Because I sell them.
- Mm-hmm.
- I handle them
when I'm packing them up for customers.
I even mail them myself.
Where were you Thursday between
the hours of 6:00 to 9:00 a.m.,
and 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.?
I spent the day with my mother.
She's in the Bristol in Great Neck.
You can call there. They'll verify.
Okay, we will.
Do you know of anyone who may
have purchased these recently?
A-a lot of people purchase them.
What about someone
who purchased several at once?
Um
Oh, yeah, now I remember.
There was a gentleman
who bought ten of these.
Ten?
We need to know who purchased them.
I'm sorry, he paid cash.
Okay, well, can you remember him at all?
Give us a description?
He was in his 40s,
he wore glasses and a suit,
and he kept complaining
because he'd gotten a ticket
for parking in the
"no standing" zone outside.
Outside, okay. Uh, how long ago?
About a month ago.
Uh-huh. I-I remember
he asked about the St. Benedict medal.
- St. Benedict?
- He say why?
No, but most people want
that particular one
because it's used to ward off evil.
Don't they all ward off evil?
Uh, somewhat.
But St. Benedict is the medal
used during exorcisms.
Chief asked me to drop these off
for the commissioner.
Thanks. Commissioner asked
if you'd say hi.
Thanks.
(DOOR OPENS)
(FRANK SIGHS)
Want to have a seat this time?
Did you have the chief
send me up here as an excuse
to get me to come in again?
(SIGHS) I'm pretty sure the
chief sent you up here himself
with some intel he wanted me to look at.
That's kind of how that goes.
It's just a coincidence
that you transferred me
so I'm right under your nose?
My chief of Ds is a wizard at making
almost any move he wants
while somehow staying
inside the box.
I just thought
maybe you could learn a thing or two
being around him.
Does every other cop that screws
up get sent to One PP for a week?
My only agenda here is to try to prevent
a potentially great cop
from getting himself
bounced off the job.
Your name is Joe Hill, but in that sense
it could just as easily be Joe Blow.
I never know where I stand with you.
Half the time I feel like
I'm competing with a ghost.
(SIGHS)
Whose ghost?
Come on.
Did you walk by a big
bronze statue of him
on your way in here?
Not literally.
Not anything.
He was a good cop
and could have been a great one.
He was your father and would
have been a great one.
He was my son, and he was
a wonderful son.
And he's gone way too soon. That's all.
How is that all?
No, I mean, that's everything.
He wasn't a legend or a mythical figure.
He was a good man,
and I wish he was still with us.
Most especially for you.
That's a good answer to a
question that neither of us asked.
The dynamic that I have with you,
that I have with your family,
didn't come out of a vacuum.
I'm being measured
against something here.
And if you tell me
that it's not against my father,
I'll believe you
It's not.
Then tell me what it is.
I can't.
You mean you won't.
No, I mean I can't right now.
I don't know which one of us
has the answer to that.
Well, if you figure it out,
you know where to find me.
I will be charging your client
with manslaughter in the first degree.
- For protecting herself?
- Oh, come on, Jack.
She told coworkers
he raped her in the past.
Yeah, exactly, and she didn't
want it to happen again.
She didn't file a report,
didn't go to the police.
We've both seen plenty of cases
of women afraid to come forward.
And she continued to work there?
Did it ever occur to you that
she couldn't afford to quit?
Did it ever occur to you
that this is revenge killing?
What, "hell hath no fury"?
No bruising, no marks,
no witnesses, no corroborations.
Her coworkers said
this was consensual sex,
and she was angry
she didn't get promoted.
Hearsay.
I haven't seen any evidence
that it's not cold-blooded.
A jury's not going to convict her.
She's sympathetic,
and he was a monster by all standards.
And there are plenty of
employees who can verify that.
"He had it coming"
is not much of a defense.
And justice is not only for
victims of good character, Jack.
If there are even a few women
on that grand jury,
you're not gonna get an indictment.
Watch me.
With pleasure.
Don't all talk at once.
Sorry, Pop, I'm a little preoccupied.
- Me, too.
- DANNY: No wonder.
Heard Jack's defending
Jennifer Carpenter.
Didn't realize he was
chasing ambulances now.
Apparently he gets personal invitations
from within the family.
- Who?
- Yeah, who?
Me, okay?
You could just say it, Erin.
I asked him.
So you're, uh, helping out
defense attorneys now?
Yeah, aren't you supposed to
be on the prosecutors' side?
I'm not on anyone's side.
The victim said he raped her.
She stabbed him because she was afraid
he was gonna rape her again.
Or it was premeditated.
But maybe we shouldn't
speak about this at family dinner.
Why not? We always talk shop.
Maybe this time we should take a break
- from bringing the work home.
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
- But tell the truth.
You were playing matchmaker,
weren't you?
I was not.
I can't blame you.
I always liked Uncle jack.
That makes one of us.
That's not what I was doing.
Well, this doesn't necessarily
have anything to do
with past history.
Exactly. My intentions were pure.
Oh, save it.
Maybe we could give each other
the benefit of the doubt.
Thank you.
Or they could just duke it out.
You've been spending
too much time with your dad.
- Sorry.
- JAMIE: You can deny it all you want,
but I think everything is
influenced by past history.
So, what, you're saying
people don't move on from things
or get over things?
They just harbor grudges?
No, but that's about
forgiveness, not amnesia.
Those who do not remember the past
are condemned to repeat it.
Remembering the past is good,
but sometimes it's just as good
to let it go.
Otherwise you get Irish Alzheimer's:
forget everything except the grudges.
JANKO: You know,
it's even worse doing dish duty with you
when you're not talking to me.
I thought the guy was like
a Harvey Weinstein type,
and I didn't want this woman
to get railroaded.
And what makes you think
I would railroad anyone?
Oh, that's not what I meant.
I meant I
I want her to have good representation.
So you went to Jack's office?
He had questions about her confession.
And you usually help out
the defense attorneys?
He's not just a defense attorney.
He's part of this family.
Hmm, technically not.
Okay, well, he's a great lawyer,
and that's why I called him. Okay?
Are you really gonna tell me
you didn't do this in some
misguided attempt
to get us to reconcile?
I mean, I'll admit it, I-I like the idea
of you two working together.
Is that so wrong?
Yeah, it is.
You two are perfect for each other.
Everyone else might not agree,
but I see it whenever you're together.
And I don't want you
to miss out on the one guy
I've ever seen you happy with.
A Toyota Camry parked
in a "no standing" zone,
license plate number
2-X-ray-5107.
It's registered to a Dianne Corchran,
35, from Mineola.
Honda Pilot, Charlie-Nora-Thomas-4712.
Wait a minute, read me that again.
Charlie-Nora-Thomas-4712.
- This can't be.
- What?
It's registered to a Dr. Walker.
Our Dr. Walker?
Well, that's a damn good question.
(SIGHS)
Is the doctor in? Great.
We'll find our way back.
Don't worry about it.
You can't go in there.
He said not to disturb him.
- We'll just be a minute.
- RECEPTIONIST: Excuse me!
Hello, Doc.
What can I do for you, Detectives?
You can start by telling us what
the hell kind of game you're playing.
I have no clue
what you're talking about.
You bought ten sets of rosary beads,
two of which ended up on murder victims.
Are you suggesting I put them there?
Murder victims that we
consulted you about.
Yet you didn't mention
those rosary beads, did you?
Hundreds of thousands of people
buy rosary beads.
Where were you between the hours
of 6:00 to 9:00 a.m.,
and 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. Thursday?
Well, most likely I was at home.
- I keep very regular hours.
- Do me a favor, Doc.
Take your hands out
of your pockets, please.
Right now! Step over there.
(CHUCKLES): This is ridiculous.
(CLEARS THROAT)
You giving haircuts now, Doc?
It's not what you think it is.
You're under arrest,
you sick son of a bitch.
- Hands behind your back.
- For the murders of Sarah Montgomery
Janine, call Solomon and Rubin
and tell them I need
their best criminal defense attorney.
may be used against you
in a court of law.
(HANDCUFFS CLICK)
(HUMMING)
Your client's looking at
two counts of murder.
He's innocent.
Oh, really? Well, great.
Then you won't mind him
answering a few questions for us
so we can clear up all the confusion.
My client is a sick man, Detective.
You think?
If he's innocent,
he should be able to give us an alibi.
My client is suffering from
extreme psychiatric distress
brought on by his arrest
at his place of work.
Or maybe it was brought on by killing
two innocent young women.
(HUMMING) He's fearful and depressed,
and I fear for his safety.
I wonder how fearful and depressed
Sarah and Maryanne were
before he killed them.
You want to talk about that, Doc?!
If you forgive others
their sins against you
Dr. Walker, do not say another word.
your heavenly Father
- will also forgive you.
- Dr. Walker!
- Dr. Walker!
- Hey!
- Hey, stop! Hey!
- Dr. Walker!
- BAEZ: We need some help in here!
- Stop! Stop.
Come on.
Get him a bus seat.
Heavenly Father, forgive them
their trespasses.
Shut up.
He's clearly faking it.
Look, I'd be happy to
encourage my client
to answer your questions,
but he clearly doesn't have
the mental capacity
to sit through an interrogation.
I'd like him evaluated
by a professional.
You really think he's gonna get out of
these charges he's facing
by pretending to be crazy?
I think he won't face any charges
because everything you have
is circumstantial.
- Well, we'll see about that.
- Fine.
Get him to Bellehaven Psychiatric,
or I will file a 730
with the judge. Thank you.
He knew what he was doing.
He planned those murders!
What?
The hairs we got from his office,
they don't match either of our victims.
(GROANS, CHUCKLES)
(SIGHS)
Erin, how did it go?
(SIGHS)
Grand jury refused to indict.
They didn't see Jennifer
Carpenter as a killer,
they saw her as a victim
who fought back.
And in today's climate,
that's all that matters.
I'm sorry.
You're sorry you won or that
she got away with murder?
If it's any consolation, I believe her.
I believe he raped her,
and I believe that she
stabbed him in self-defense.
Well, he may have raped her,
but this was cold, calculated revenge.
She went to that office early
to kill him, and she planned it.
But I can't make a case
based on my gut, so
you win.
Just for the record,
I don't feel much
like a winner at all these days.
(SIGHS)
Erin. I've been calling you.
Oh. I was in the grand jury.
I didn't have my phone.
I finally found out where
the murder weapon came from.
Jennifer Carpenter purchased
a hunting knife
the day before the murder.
Even asked if it could
kill a large animal.
Anthony, the grand jury voted
not to indict.
It's too late.
WALKER: It is written,
"Vengeance is mine.
I will repay the faithless
with everlasting darkness."
You're gonna pay, all right.
Shut your mouth.
Sir, you're gonna hurt yourself.
He'll be fine.
"If your enemies are hungry, feed them.
"If they're thirsty,
- give them a drink."
- I'm gonna get security.
Thank you.
All right, knock it off already.
Nobody's buying your crap.
I killed all of them.
I know you killed all of them.
All two of them, Doc.
That's what you think.
- How many were there, Doc?
- Let's go, Dr. Walker.
Wait a minute, how many were there?
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
- What the hell are you talking about?
- Detective,
let go of him. Step aside!
WALKER: "How long will
the wicked triumph?"
How many were there, Doc?
- We got it from here.
- "How long will the wicked triumph?"
Hello?
FRANK: Sunroom.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Uh, where's Henry?
Oh, he's out with the boys
from his days in the 3-5.
Hey, come on, sit down.
This for me?
It is.
Bourbon.
It was your dad's favorite.
(SIGHS)
Uh, I was unfair to you the other day,
and I owe you an apology.
Uh, actually, I picked his brain,
and he shared a lot of great stuff.
So if anything, I actually
owe you a thanks.
Uh, I don't mean about
the desk assignment.
Oh.
(SIGHS) Look
of course you feel compared
to your father.
We knew him. You never even met him.
We lost him.
He was never really yours to lose.
And then we found you.
And I'm sure you felt like
you were kind of being
X-rayed sometime.
Like we figured some shadow
or shape in you
would bring him back to us
for a moment.
So
I'm sorry for that.
Not necessary you put it that way.
Absolutely necessary.
And, uh, I don't apologize very often,
so enjoy it.
Okay. It is fun.
I, uh
Look, your dad was
a natural-born leader,
and I think you could be, too.
But it means you have to set the tone
for those under you,
especially as you rise in the ranks.
And I just think that
Well, you could do a better job
of being aware of that.
Fun while it lasted.
(CHUCKLES)
I, uh
well, I made something for you.
Is that him?
Yeah. And that's my hat.
He would sneak into my closet
and steal it all the time.
JOE: So, what,
he always wanted to be a cop?
FRANK: Kind of,
but I think it started when
he began copying whatever I did.
Greatest feeling in the world.
So he didn't like ties either, huh?
Hated ties. Suits, too.
That thing was covered in grass stains
an hour after church.
(LAUGHS) So he got a scolding,
and you know what,
he just marched right back out
and rolled down the hill again.
All right, so there is
a lesson in here, then?
Not a lesson. An observation.
♪
I see where this is going.
Then just enjoy the ride.
