02:06hi sammy deputy di bernhardt it's really teresa woo a sad day for san francisco
02:16inspector boxer said you might need this
02:24Thanks.
02:31We're not going to be at a loss for suspects.
02:34Lisa Wu got blessed or bashed or exposed half of San Francisco for sex or corruption or sexual corruption.
02:40Just won, what, six Pulitzers for the register in the past ten years?
02:44So wait a minute, you were standing there on the street and crashed?
02:49Uh, I was at that exact moment talking to Tom. He called.
02:53Tom called?
02:54What did he say?
02:56Have you called him back?
02:58Teresa Wu.
03:00Fell.
03:03Why would Tom call you?
03:05Our two-year divorce anniversary is Sunday. Maybe it was a nostalgia thing.
03:10Maybe he misses you.
03:11What I'm trying to figure out is, Teresa's message said to meet her in front of the newsstand, so why
03:16was she on the roof?
03:17To make sure she wasn't followed. She was super secretive.
03:20So the question is, who was making Teresa so afraid that she was desperate enough to call me?
03:27Obvious place to start is with the subjects of her exposés.
03:30If anyone was mad enough to take her to court, maybe they were mad enough to kill her. I'll find
03:33out if there was any penny litigation.
03:34I'll get her back to the morgue. Hopefully she managed to pick up some DNA evidence in the back and
03:38forth.
03:38I'll grab Jacoby, see if anything turns up at her apartment.
03:41And you're gonna call Tom back?
03:43Yeah, totally.
03:45Teresa Wu's address book is a dead end.
03:48Oh, you got anything?
03:50No.
03:51Uh, some receipts, paid bills, mostly dog-related.
03:57You know, I'm starting to get why Teresa called me.
04:01She didn't have anyone else.
04:02The woman was obsessed with her job.
04:05The dress book doesn't even have an in-case-of-an-emergency contact.
04:09At least you have a couple of human friends.
04:12I'm not going to miss you, you know, when you get your promotion.
04:16And I get a shiny new partner.
04:22Young, handsome.
04:24Two good knees.
04:25If I get the lieutenant's spot, I'll make sure you get plenty of me from behind my shiny new bossman
04:31desk.
04:32You know what there's any sign of? A computer.
04:34Teresa was old school. Everything by hand.
04:38Always carrying around those ratty old notebooks.
04:41Yeah, well, where are they? She didn't bring them to the meeting.
04:43They could be back at her office, but let's hit the road.
04:47I've got years of newspaper exposés to weed through.
04:50Hmm.
04:55What?
04:58Oh, hell no.
05:06Look what, she likes you.
05:07I said call the dog pound a bit there.
05:10It's just a little stroll. I can't take her into the morgue.
05:12What if she eats some evidence?
05:14Come on, Jill, it's just a key.
05:16It's moving in.
05:18Whole can of worms.
05:19Can't we just be in love and happy and have lots of sex?
05:22Oh, we can do that, too.
05:24Didn't we decide you weren't going to come by my office?
05:26You know what? I just signed the lease. Landlord gave me two sets of keys, and I'm off for a
05:2924-hour shift at the hospital.
05:31So I broke the rules.
05:34I'm giving my boss further ammunition for hating me should she decide to drop in.
05:37Yeah, she'd hate it if she were to see us, you know, like this.
05:41Definitely not.
05:42Yeah, yeah.
05:46Hey, Claire's got whoops.
05:47Oh, hey, Lins.
05:48Hi.
05:49Hi.
05:51So, I'm going to leave this right here, okay? No pressure.
05:56But come on, move in with me.
05:59Here.
06:02Guess who's moving in with the boy?
06:03Considering moving in, we're...
06:06God.
06:08Well, given your usual terrible taste in men, this is good news.
06:11I actually don't hate Luke.
06:14What do you know?
06:16Time of death. No mystery there.
06:18Cause, if the fall hadn't gotten her, the gunshots would have.
06:23Three of them, all to the torso.
06:26What about DNA?
06:28Not looking promising.
06:30Just came from her apartment.
06:31Screams lonely workaholic.
06:33Speaking of, did you call Tom back?
06:36I'll give you workaholic.
06:38Lonely?
06:39Don't think so.
06:40Yeah, inappropriate.
06:42Yikes.
06:44Well, not your mama's bikini wax.
06:48Magnets like that, she was definitely sleeping with somebody.
06:51Well, there was no man stuff at her apartment.
06:53No extra toothbrush.
06:55Only one towel on the rack.
06:57So whoever she was seeing, it must have been new.
07:00Or secret.
07:02Men? No.
07:03No men, no friends, just work.
07:04And I have no idea what she was working on.
07:07Never had any idea until she was ready to publish.
07:10But I guarantee you, it was incendiary.
07:13And honest.
07:16See, that's how much Teresa trusted me.
07:17Now I've got to call a damn locks.
07:25Don't you need a warrant for that?
07:27Cindy Thomas.
07:29Metro desk.
07:31There's nothing in there anyway.
07:33And you know that how?
07:34Common knowledge.
07:35Teresa never left anything in the office.
07:37Plus, I picked it already.
07:38It's empty.
07:41You were a friend?
07:42Yeah.
07:42Uh, no, no, a colleague, I guess.
07:46Um, well, admirer, mostly.
07:49Teresa was sort of a mentor from afar.
07:53We didn't really talk, actually.
07:56She did say nice work to me once.
07:58Do you know who did this to her?
08:00Do you know anything about her personal life?
08:01She had one?
08:03Oh, okay.
08:04Uh, boss, I gotta...
08:08I'm gonna have some people come over and go through Teresa's computer.
08:11Well, they won't find anything.
08:12It's all in her notebooks.
08:13Do you know where they are?
08:14No, but listen, if by some miracle you find them, I see them first.
08:20Technically, they're the property of the San Francisco Register.
08:23Technically, they're evidence in a murder investigation.
08:42Okay, Teresa, those notebooks aren't here somewhere.
08:46Freeze, please.
08:49Hi.
08:50Again.
08:51Put the bag down.
08:52I was gonna give them to you, I just wanted to read them to you first.
09:02Really?
09:04You don't have to do that.
09:06You don't have to break and enter.
09:07I didn't.
09:08Seriously, I told the superintendent I was Teresa's sister.
09:11The adopted sister.
09:15Where were they?
09:16A sweater drawer.
09:18I checked that this morning.
09:18No, it was a false bottom.
09:19Pretty intricate one.
09:20She must have it specially made.
09:22And don't feel bad.
09:24You would have found it eventually.
09:25Gee, thanks.
09:26Now, tell me why I shouldn't arrest you for murder.
09:28Um, because that's crazy.
09:30Teresa was like my idol.
09:31Maybe you were angry at her because she didn't pay as much attention to you as you wanted.
09:34Maybe you were here to steal her story.
09:36That's what you're doing now, right?
09:37Whatever Teresa was researching, she died for it.
09:40If the story dies with her, I can't let that happen.
09:44And I have an alibi.
09:45A whole handful of people saw me at the register this morning.
09:49It's, uh, in shorthand.
09:51Some kind of code.
09:53I don't know.
09:53Teresa was really paranoid.
09:56Is it paranoia, if you're right?
09:58I mean, clearly, I don't live out to get...
10:00What?
10:19Police!
10:20Stop!
10:26Stop!
10:27Damn it!
10:32You're right.
10:41You're right.
10:41You're right.
10:43I don't know.
10:47You're right.
10:57I don't know.
11:08I spent half the night trying to decipher these things.
11:11I only came up with three words.
11:14You're mad that I went back to the apartment without you.
11:16I'm mad you didn't catch the guy.
11:17No, I'm mad I didn't catch the guy.
11:20You're mad that I didn't arrest the reporter.
11:22Jacoby, I asked the super. He did let her in.
11:24So far, I've got alibis for every corrupt jerk Teresa Wu exposed in the last three years.
11:30Leaving her current story, whatever it is, as our best lead.
11:36What about the guy last night? Did my sketch come back yet?
11:44I think Martha is depressed. You should...
11:47I am not taking the dog.
11:50You're mad at me about the dog?
11:52That goes upstairs, the new boss's office.
11:56They named the new Lou.
11:58It's not you.
12:01What idiot did the idiots in charge give it to?
12:05This idiot.
12:10Tom.
12:11I tried to call you four times.
12:16I'm gonna need a minute.
12:19Jacoby has 22 years on the job.
12:21More citations than I can count.
12:23He's seasoned. He's...
12:25grizzled.
12:27Do you know how many bad guys you have to catch to get that grizzled?
12:30A lot.
12:31That's right. A lot.
12:33What has Tom done?
12:34Other than reorganize the citywide gang task force and that huge drug bust?
12:37Blah, blah, blah.
12:38Jacoby deserves to be the new Lou.
12:40Why would Tom take the job?
12:42Do you think he's maybe...
12:45exploring the idea of getting back together?
12:48It's possible. Things change.
12:50Well, I care about my job the same amount as I did when we were married.
12:53That hasn't changed.
12:54But Tom didn't leave you because you cared about your job.
12:56He left because it was all you cared about.
13:00Why are we friends?
13:01Because I always tell you the truth.
13:03Just like I did when I warned you that whole thing about the kiss-me-not-killer...
13:08Obsession.
13:09I did not say it, but yes, obsession was going to cost you your marriage.
13:12That psycho murdered two women.
13:15He brutalized them.
13:16He sewed their lips shut.
13:18We know we were there, too.
13:19You both gave up.
13:21So did Tom.
13:23Yeah, to change the subject, this is why I am not moving in with Luke.
13:28Moving in leads to marriage.
13:29Marriage leads to...
13:30Ick.
13:32Giving the key back.
13:34If it's the right guy, the ick's worth it, trust me.
13:37Um, Miss Bernard?
13:39Tom wasn't the right guy.
13:41It was a youthful mistake.
13:44That lasted six years.
13:46Four of them really happy, if you remember.
13:48And now he's my boss.
13:51We're adults.
13:52It'll be fine.
13:55Five years ago, Teresa filed a restraining order against a Walton James.
13:59She kept it active until last year.
14:01Teresa had a stalker.
14:04I'm betting he looked a little something like this.
14:08Mr. James, open up!
14:10It's police!
14:15Elevator!
14:16He's going to the elevator!
14:20Alton James, you are under arrest for pissing me off.
14:26Twice.
14:28You have no right.
14:30I'm an American citizen!
14:32Touch nothing!
14:34Yeah, whatever you say.
15:03This picture is recent.
15:05He was still following her.
15:06Why the hell would she let the restraining order elaps?
15:09Stupidity.
15:17I just figured out how a professional stalker can afford these digs.
15:21And how he met our victim.
15:25Police brutality strikes again.
15:26I remember this.
15:27He was one of the protesters who got their butts kicked at that World Bank to do.
15:32Sued the city and got a tidy settlement.
15:34She turned him into a hero for a day.
15:36He turned her into a victim for five years.
15:39Yeah.
15:42Seems that way, doesn't it?
15:47So what happened, Walton?
15:49Did Teresa finally have enough, so you let her free fall?
15:52I have rights.
15:53Rights don't include murder.
15:55I know how the police operate.
15:56You're liars.
15:57You're bullies.
15:59You want me to believe she's dead, so I'll tell you everything I know.
16:02Walton, it's on the news.
16:03It's in all the papers.
16:04Everything we see, everything we hear, it's been manipulated by governments and corporations.
16:11That's why Teresa's so special.
16:13That's why you were snooping outside of her place.
16:15I was trying to find out why she was killed.
16:18Where'd you send her?
16:20Guantanamo?
16:23Teresa is under that sheet, Walton.
16:26You ready for this?
16:29It's a replica.
16:31Or something.
16:32You people are exceptionally well-funded.
16:36No, trust me.
16:37We're not.
16:52Walton, Teresa was shot and pushed off a building.
16:56Were you there?
16:57Do you remember?
16:59Who did this?
17:02Huh?
17:04Who hurt you?
17:08No.
17:11Teresa.
17:14No!
17:16No!
17:16No!
17:18No!
17:19It's all right.
17:21It's all right.
17:22It's all right.
17:24Teresa.
17:26It's all right.
17:29It's all right.
17:31Emotional battery, trauma, pain and suffering.
17:34Come on.
17:34Hanson North, aren't you supposed to be in court defending a murdering crackhead?
17:38We're on a recess.
17:39Meantime, I'm waiting for someone to explain to me why this department tortured Walton James.
17:43Showing him Teresa Wu's body is a long way from the waterboard.
17:46Your client did not believe she was dead.
17:49We had to determine whether he'd had a psychotic break.
17:51During which maybe he shoved her off a building.
17:53And?
17:54And we don't think he did it.
17:56But we do think he has information relevant to Teresa's murder.
18:00Well, I can't let you talk to him.
18:01Sorry.
18:02Should have beaten it out of him when he had the chance.
18:05We understand.
18:06Of course, that means I'll have to file against him for assault on a police officer, destruction of federal property,
18:11on top of the evading charge should easily get him at Diamond Prison.
18:13Or he sits down for a friendly rap session.
18:15It's up to you.
18:19Okay.
18:21But only because I've got to go decimate a traffic cop on the stand.
18:27We should talk.
18:29Yeah, sure.
18:29Just not now.
18:31Not now.
18:32The Lindsay Boxer refrain.
18:35Don't be an ass, Tom.
18:37Don't be an ass.
18:39Lieutenant.
18:41Lieutenant.
18:43God, he is so irritating.
18:45Copy Defenders can be so sanctimonious.
18:49Mid-time.
18:50Right.
18:51You really think Walton's innocent?
18:54Teresa was scared, but not of him.
18:57She let the restraining order lapse.
18:59In some of Walton's photos, she's looking directly into the lens.
19:02She even kept some of his favorite soda on the fire escape.
19:05I think she liked him.
19:08You know, he planted her flower box and probably took out her trash.
19:13Carried those really heavy water bottles.
19:17Right.
19:18Looks like a silent, lurking husband.
19:22Sounds almost nice.
19:30Martha.
19:32Hey, baby.
19:35I'm sorry you had to see Teresa like that.
19:38I know you didn't hurt her.
19:41You don't trust me.
19:44That's okay.
19:46But Teresa did.
19:49Lindsay, it's Teresa Wu.
19:51I was hoping you could meet me at Gears Street newsstand, 8 a.m.
19:54I know we're not exactly friends, but it's important.
19:57Thanks, Lindsay.
19:58See you in the morning.
20:09Teresa started the crime beat the same time that I joined the force.
20:17This is the first time I ever saw my name in print.
20:20It was in one of her articles.
20:23We kind of grew up together.
20:28Walton, as much as you cared about her,
20:31that's how much I care about catching her killer.
20:37How's she doing?
20:39Lindsay's the best, just like always.
20:41That's not what I meant.
20:44I know what you meant.
20:45Was there someone that she was afraid of?
20:49Maybe someone she was doing a story on?
20:52Was it her new boyfriend?
20:53Do you know who he is?
20:55Someone was following her.
20:58No.
20:59I don't know her name.
21:02But I...
21:04I know her license plate number.
21:06Okay.
21:10Martha likes you.
21:13Maybe she should go home with you, huh?
21:18Hallelujah.
21:21Crackhead fled out.
21:23Boss signed off on manslaughter, 10 to 20 after parole and 5.
21:28Not bad for shooting Grandma in the heart.
21:30Why are you here?
21:31Why'd you stop returning my calls?
21:34Walton gave up a license plate number.
21:37It's that too soft for a man ER doctor, isn't it?
21:40You should dump him.
21:43I need my desk.
21:47You really like this guy?
21:49I really like this guy.
21:52And dump him before it's too late.
21:57I know you.
21:58You're like me.
21:59Too complicated to commit.
22:01Once again, I ask.
22:03Why are you here?
22:05You really want to know?
22:06Yes.
22:10You sure?
22:14Yes.
22:22Luke and I are in love.
22:24We're moving in together and you don't know me.
22:27Yeah, I do.
22:40One thing you're more experienced.
22:42About Doreen Van Aken.
22:43She doesn't look like a murderer.
22:44I'm just saying, the promotion...
22:46Should have been mine, I know.
22:48Now, will you stop dragging me and my ego into a situation that's really about you and a much more
22:53vital organ?
22:55What are we talking about my heart?
22:58Her.
23:00The short version is, I'm glad Teresa Wu is dead.
23:04Most people don't lead with cartwheels after a murder.
23:07Most murder victims aren't sleeping with my husband.
23:09I assume that's why you're here.
23:11You connected the affair dots and figured that the crazy, jealous wife offed the intrepid reporter mistress.
23:20Her car was seen following Teresa more than once.
23:23My husband cheats.
23:26Regularly.
23:27I feel it's my prerogative to know with whom.
23:30I tell them to get lost and most listen.
23:33And if they don't, you, what, toss them off a roof?
23:36Please.
23:38Miles is my third husband.
23:40I'm over the drama.
23:41I'm surprised you're not over him.
23:43Miles has his flaws, but he makes me laugh.
23:46And he knows his way around the kitchen, and that's more than I can say for the first two.
23:50If you knew our investigation would lead to you and your husband, why didn't you come forward?
23:54I work 80 hours a week running this free clinic, helping the homeless and other people who have no place
23:59else to go.
24:00Enmeshing myself in all of this just wasn't a priority.
24:04Morgan, I need an alibi.
24:05And, uh, we'll need to talk to your husband.
24:09Scare the hell out of him.
24:10He deserves it.
24:12I'm gonna make a quick stop.
24:13Do you want to pick up a sitting husband?
24:15A pleasure.
24:21I don't talk to reporters.
24:23Yeah, I got that general idea.
24:25But I need to know what was in Teresa's head, okay?
24:28Anything about her job, her personal life, and at Teresa's apartment you seem to think that you could read these.
24:33Probably.
24:34How?
24:35Identic memory.
24:37I just, I have one of those brains that has a hard time forgetting things.
24:40So if, if I knew it, if I read about it, you know, even if I heard about it once,
24:44chances are good it is still in there somewhere.
24:46Uh, like, well, say codes or obsolete shorthand.
24:50You read about shorthand?
24:52I read about a lot of things.
24:55Shorthand, baseball, Kinzian economics, serial killers.
24:59I read all about the Kiss Me Not killer case.
25:02And I, I was thinking, if you ever wanted to reopen the investigation, I would love to assist you.
25:07Here's an FYI, if you write a story containing any information from those notebooks, without my go-ahead, I'll arrest
25:14you.
25:14For what?
25:15Breaking and hearing.
25:16There's a good thing.
25:17I'll come up with a list.
25:24Teresa came into my restaurant, and we talked.
25:27And then she came back, and one thing, as they say, led to another.
25:33Seems like one thing, as they say, leads to another a lot with you.
25:37My wife is married to her work.
25:39What am I supposed to do?
25:41Oh, so, because you don't get enough attention, everything is your wife's fault.
25:45Did you ever think, I don't know, maybe your wife's job is important to her, or you should be a
25:50little more understanding?
25:52What's your problem?
25:54She's touched at how choked up you are over this whole thing.
25:57Hey, I cared about Teresa, but I was going to end it.
26:00Because she threatened to tell your wife?
26:02No, because she reminded me of my wife.
26:06Teresa turned out to be a non-romantic, work-obsessed ball buster.
26:11And I've already got one of those.
26:13So, you took your anger at Rain out on Teresa?
26:17Transference.
26:18It's a good theory.
26:19Excuse me, instead of patting yourselves on the back, shouldn't you be out arresting the real killer?
26:25Walton James, Teresa Stalker?
26:27Where were you yesterday morning?
26:29Wait, wait, wait.
26:29This guy followed her around for five years.
26:32I mean, we used to have to meet when she knew he wasn't watching, because she was afraid that he'd
26:38lose it.
26:39Any alibi will do.
26:45I was at my restaurant, and I have a manager, two prep cooks, and an entire waitstaff will attest to
26:53that.
26:54I so want him to be guilty.
26:56Well, he's guilty of lowering the overall standards of San Francisco cuisine.
27:00I mean, last I checked, that restaurant he's so proud of got a big, fat C from the health department.
27:06Where are we?
27:08I would like a tale for Miles Van Aken to make sure he doesn't try to leave the city.
27:12I say yes, will you agree to that talk?
27:13I will pencil you in ten minutes past a woman is dead.
27:17I'll head over to the so-called restaurant, verify Van Aken's alibi.
27:23I'll approve the tale.
27:25But don't get so focused on the jerk husband that you forget the story angle.
27:28Yeah, thanks for the reminder, Tom.
27:31Thanks for the reminder, Lieutenant.
27:34I need a search warrant for Miles Van Aken's car, restaurant, his house.
27:38Yeah, based on?
27:40I don't like the cheating bastard, sweetie.
27:43You know, I love you like an annoyingly, pushy, emotionally stunted sister, but I need probable cause.
27:51Miles, I did something bad.
27:54What, you okay?
27:55Yeah.
27:57It's just I, uh...
28:00I didn't tell you that Tom asked about you.
28:04Whatever.
28:05Stop pretending you're not still in love with him any time now.
28:09Come on, you haven't even had sex with anyone since he left.
28:12Says who?
28:13I could have been secretly whoring around the past two years.
28:17And besides, I am picky, and I'm busy, and I have to solve a murder now.
28:27Hey, it's me. Where are we?
28:28I, uh, managed to figure out some keywords in the notebooks.
28:32Caboose.
28:33Elephant man.
28:34Still have no idea exactly what they mean.
28:37So we're at another dead end.
28:38I have another idea. I'll let you know if it works.
28:45Walton?
28:46Walton?
28:48I'm the San Francisco Register.
29:01Walton?
29:02Hello?
29:03Oh!
29:11Bodies still warm.
29:13I'd say TOD is less than two hours ago.
29:15This doesn't make any sense.
29:17What is it with that girl in other people's apartments?
29:19I gave her Teresa's notebooks.
29:23She thought that Walton might be able to make sense out of it.
29:25Which he doesn't need to know.
29:28Confession.
29:29Eunice found it in the bedroom.
29:31Walton couldn't handle Teresa having a boyfriend killed her in a jealous rage.
29:35No.
29:35Teresa made sure Walton didn't know about Miles.
29:38Lindsay, case is closed.
29:39It isn't closed.
29:40Yes, it is.
29:40Is it?
29:41It is.
29:41Damn it, Tom. Just let me do my job.
29:43Fine.
29:44If, after you do your job, you come into my office, you sit your ass down and we talk. No
29:48excuses.
29:50Fine.
29:53You planned that.
29:54Halfway through.
29:56That was fun, huh?
29:57Yeah.
29:58Hoot and a holler.
30:06How much longer?
30:07With or without your hovering.
30:09Without.
30:11It was just so sad.
30:14All Teresa and Walton had was each other and now.
30:17I mean, I get how Walton ended up alone.
30:19He was kind of a nut.
30:21But Teresa, how does that happen?
30:24You put your head down, you get lost in your career, you wake up ten years later and you realize
30:28that your job doesn't hug back.
30:31Teresa chose to be alone, whether she meant to or not.
30:34She was avoiding the heck.
30:39Hello.
30:41See what happens when no one hovers?
30:43Check this out.
30:44When you hang yourself, the rope leaves a bruise like this.
30:48Only this one's pretty faint.
30:50Here, he's got a slightly darker bruise, which means that he was strangled and then strung up.
30:56And since there's no sign of struggle, I'm guessing he was drugged first.
31:02Hey, a reporter girl's here with a guest.
31:06What is that smell?
31:09Elephant man.
31:10See his necklace?
31:11I cracked the code.
31:13So, Teresa's story was about you?
31:15Me and a whole bunch of us street dudes.
31:17You're talking about that story she did five months ago on that bottom feeder who coerced homeless men to smack
31:23each other around on video.
31:24I wasn't involved in all that, but I got to know Teresa.
31:29After that, she kept coming around with food and blankets on cold nights.
31:33So, she was there six weeks ago when Martin fell and he cut his head open.
31:37She didn't get treatment at Mission Cross North Hospital.
31:40And the thing is, because Martin is homeless, they automatically called the Castro Free Clinic to see if he had
31:44medical records there.
31:45Then he wouldn't give me any pain pills.
31:47Said that my medical records showed I was already on all kinds of stuff.
31:51Thought I was, um, what they call it?
31:53Drug seeking, but he wasn't.
31:56Uh, Martin's not on anything.
31:58Teresa had his blood tested.
31:59It's all in the notebooks.
32:00I've never even been to Castro Free Clinic.
32:02Unless you're counting getting free food off that van that got going around sometimes.
32:07Hi, it's me.
32:07Hold on.
32:08This is my boyfriend, Luke.
32:10He's a doctor over at Mission Cross North.
32:12With your permission, he's going to fax over those medical records.
32:17No car, no electricity.
32:19Call for me?
32:21I got a zero carbon footprint.
32:23Ah.
32:24Well, that's it.
32:25You're Prince, Martin.
32:28So, uh, you coming with?
32:30Giving her some space.
32:32Meantime, I think I'm going to take Martin here down to the showers.
32:35Waste all that water?
32:38Uh-uh.
32:41I'm no internist, but pending blood work and urinalysis?
32:45I'd say he'll live to be 102.
32:49So, the diabetes, the bad back, the high blood pressure?
32:53Fake, fake, fake.
32:54All by Dr. Rain Van Aken.
32:56Which means we've got the wife for fraud or malpractice, but as for the murders, we have nothing that's not
33:00circumstantial.
33:02Which makes getting that confession all the more fun.
33:05Hmm.
33:05Do you three have some sort of, uh, thing?
33:09Mm-hmm.
33:10We're friends.
33:10We share information.
33:12What, like a club?
33:13No.
33:17Not a club.
33:18Got it.
33:22It's just going to be the two of us.
33:25It's easier to talk.
33:27Good.
33:27Your partner's got issues.
33:30Haven't met a woman yet who doesn't.
33:34He said we were coming down here to talk about Walt and James.
33:37What's going on?
33:38There have been some new developments in the case.
33:40Look, no one is saying you meant for this thing to happen.
33:44You know, when a girl gets crazy over the affair, a situation goes out of control, I understand.
33:49This is ridiculous.
33:50I mean, I've had a lot of affairs.
33:51I haven't killed them.
33:52Yeah, you've had a lot of affairs.
33:56But the others weren't about to, uh, expose your wife.
34:01Expose Rain for what?
34:04You're nuts.
34:04Oh, that's C from the health department.
34:07I mean, if I bombed your restaurant profits, you needed an influx of cash to keep it afloat.
34:11Yeah.
34:12My wife helped.
34:13It's not illegal.
34:14Unless she's, uh, stealing from the government and submitting false medical claims to do it.
34:20No.
34:21Now, right when your restaurant started to slide, Rain's clinic instituted a new program for the homeless.
34:27Uh, register your vitals, get a square meal.
34:29It sounds generous, except Rain uses the information to make fake charts, and then she bills the government for services
34:37not rendered.
34:38You can't prove that.
34:40Actually, we can.
34:41DA's already signed off on your indictment.
34:43Do you get a doctor, no criminal record?
34:46You went way out of your box to get the money to save your husband's restaurant.
34:50You know what I think?
34:52I think you put up with Miles as cheating because you love him.
34:55Oh, and this is interesting.
34:58You and Teresa didn't happen to meet.
35:02Teresa was investigating your wife, but she couldn't get anywhere because Rain's too careful.
35:08So, Teresa showed up at your restaurant and made sure one thing, as they say, led to another.
35:16She used you to get to Rain's home computer files.
35:19It's all in her notebooks.
35:21And when you found out, well, you had to kill her.
35:24You didn't have a choice.
35:25No.
35:26And that poor sucker, Walter, well, you knocked him out.
35:29Probably with drugs you stole from your wife's office, and you strung him up like a side of beef.
35:33Now, we've got a search warrant.
35:34We're going to find the gun.
35:35This isn't fair.
35:36You have to stop.
35:37Two people are dead.
35:38We can't stop.
35:39Someone has to pay.
35:40It's only a matter of time.
35:42Now, it's two murders, both premeditated.
35:45That's special circumstances.
35:48It's death penalty, Miles.
35:51Stop.
35:54I'll tell you.
35:57Can you take a breather?
36:01First, I thought it was just another affair.
36:05So, I followed her, like always.
36:09I watched her walk into my house with my husband.
36:16She found everything.
36:19She would have destroyed our careers, our lives.
36:25I had to protect us.
36:29It took a few days, but I got a gun.
36:35Miles didn't know about any of it.
36:38How did you get Walton to write the confession?
36:41I held a gun to his head.
36:44But it didn't work.
36:49So, I held a gun to the dog's head.
36:52You wrote what I want.
36:55Word for word.
36:58So, you stole for him.
37:00You killed for him.
37:03Ultimately, you confessed for him.
37:07If it weren't so utterly evil, it'd almost be poetic.
37:20Here's the thing.
37:21I don't need to talk.
37:23Because showing up at work to find your ex-husband as your new boss isn't a big deal?
37:28Were you watching me?
37:29Well, good.
37:30So good you make me doubt how good I am.
37:33Guess I'm gonna have to get used to that all over again.
37:37I don't suppose you ever cheated on me.
37:44You really need an answer?
37:46No.
37:48Look, Linz, we were married.
37:49That comes with stuff.
37:51Good stuff, bad stuff, but stuff.
37:53And we cannot talk about it, but it's there.
37:56Works for me.
37:58At least you're predictable.
38:03Okay, the not talking when we were married, that's totally different than the not talking now.
38:09It is.
38:10I avoided the talks back then because, according to Claire, I was scared of being in love with you.
38:18Now?
38:19Well, now I'm not in love with you, so there's simply no need.
38:24Okay.
38:27Never mind what I was gonna say.
38:28It's irrelevant.
38:29Irrelevant.
38:30Okay.
38:33What's irrelevant?
38:36Just...
38:39I'm getting married.
38:42Oh.
38:46Is she a cop?
38:47Kindergarten teacher.
38:49Her name is Heather.
38:52That's great.
38:55That's great.
38:56Uh, congratulations.
39:01Lieutenant.
39:05Hi, baby.
39:07Dad ordered a pizza.
39:09So I see.
39:12So, can I get a kiss?
39:14We're eating.
39:15She wasn't talking to you.
39:22Springtime is always in hand.
39:26Yeah.
39:27Almost as if you were there.
39:31Making a haul under me.
39:35Again.
39:38Oh, no.
39:41Cause I couldn't make a...
39:46A thing that you say.
39:53There's trouble in here.
39:59I brought a beer.
40:05And...
40:11What does this mean?
40:14This means...
40:40Boxer.
40:42Boxer.
40:42Cause I couldn't make a...
40:46A thing that I fear.
41:05Rojas was on call, but I reassigned the case to you.
41:23Lindsay.
41:25It's bad.
41:33Kiss me not.
41:35He's back.
42:05Look at him.
42:10And this time we'll stop.
