Anybody would be better at community outreach than I am.
I don't like people.
People, they like you, they love Font.
Font's still in the hospital
and Guz knows you're the worst possible pick for this
any other day of the year.
Right now, everybody loves you.
You were on TV.
You're the cop who was kidnapped.
You're a celebrity, man.
I'm the guy Milt went on TV to save. Congratulations, Funk.
You've somehow managed to make me look forward to this even less.
Milt said you was gonna be like this.
Why is Milt talking about me?
Well, he knew you'd be in a bad mood about Holly going on a cruise with
that guy.
I'm in a bad mood about the thing I said I'm in a bad mood about.
Man, there was a shooting at McCamly Park.
Yeah? That's great.
We can skip this stupid community outreach.
Cover me.
I need your help, he stopped breathing
and I can't let go to do CPR.
- Did you call an ambulance? - Yeah, it's not here yet,
but I'm a doctor.
His artery's severed, but I'm keeping him from bleeding out.
Did you see the shooter?
No, it happened so fast, I heard it, and then he just crumpled.
Come on, come on.
He's back.
Okay, he's going to flatline again unless we get him to a hospital.
Can you stay with my daughter?
Jenny! Jenny, I need you to stay with this police officer, okay?
Mommy's gonna be back as soon as she can.
One, two, three. Come on, let's go.
This is Detective Russ Agnew, I'm headed to Glenview Memorial.
I need a medical team standing by.
- How is he? - He's losing a lot of blood.
Come on. Hang on, honey. Just stay with me.
Let's get some saline up here. How much blood has he lost?
A lot. His pulse is weak.
Let's get blood up.
Call the blood bank for a transfer.
He's clipped.
Stay with me, Derek.
We're gonna go apple-picking this weekend with Jenny, remember?
Just the three of us, just think of that.
- Dr Reith is ready. - Let's go.
You know him.
He's my husband.
He's gonna be okay, right?
I don't think so.
Ripped By mstoll
Dr Palmer to Radiology, Dr Palmer to Radiology.
I'm Dr Owens. I heard you helped save my patient.
- Officer... - Detective. Agnew.
Russ.
- So, he's alive? - He's in surgery.
He lost a lot of blood.
- How's his wife doing? - She's better than most.
She's a doctor, so she's seen trauma.
Yeah, but it's not the same when it's someone you know.
No, it isn't.
That's sensitive of you.
Is it?
Five stories. Five witnesses.
He's tall, short, white,
Hispanic. He's wearing a black sweatshirt,
or a light hoodie. Maybe a baseball cap pulled all the way down.
Anyone get any video or photos?
No, everybody decided to take cover instead of posting it on Instagram.
But they did all agree that the shooter took off down Van Buren.
It's not much to go on.
That should be enough. I've gotta go.
We were meeting at the park to hand off Jenny.
Hand off?
We've been separated for a few months.
We switch custody every couple of nights.
You seem close.
Yeah, we were talking about getting back together.
We had good reasons for splitting up,
but the separation didn't seem to suit us either.
Hey, look, can you tell me what you remember?
Derek showed up and
he asked me where Jenny was. And I said she was on the swings,
and he said we should all go and get breakfast,
and that's when I heard it.
I didn't even know he'd been shot until I saw the blood.
They just told me he's in a...
An acute post-traumatic coma.
He has about a 50-50 chance of recovery.
Kind of ratty, sorry.
That's okay.
We need to talk about who might have wanted Derek dead.
He's a radiologist.
It's the most boring job in medicine.
You never deal with patients, so no one's ever mad.
In his personal life?
Our next door neighbour. It seemed like such a stupid fight, but now...
We had a tree growing on the property line,
and a few months back, in the middle of the night, the guy came over
and cut it down.
Derek took him to court and won.
The guy was not happy.
What's the neighbour's name?
Still out here every day?
Trying to lose a few.
Suddenly I have to worry about looks again.
Yeah, I heard about you and Nancy.
- I'm sorry. - Don't be.
How's Battle Creek?
A lot of theories floating around
about why you were sent down to the minors.
You wanna know? Just read my e-mails.
Isn't that what you guys do?
You didn't drive all the way to Detroit to go for a jog.
- What's going on? - There was a shooting.
Public park, broad daylight, kids on swings...
Unless the shooter's connected to ISIL or Al Qaeda,
we've got nothing to talk about.
Yeah, well, if this is the beginning of a shooting spree,
I don't want to be the one who let it slide.
Then violate the guy's rights some other way.
We don't wade into civilian crimes,
that's not what the technology is for.
Really?
Because I know at least one agent
who used it to track the whereabouts of a lying spouse.
You're saying that you would take that information upstairs?
I haven't so far, I don't want to.
It seemed like a one-time lapse.
Look, I've got the coordinates.
I've got the time of the shooting, I've got the street that he ran down.
I just need a cell phone number.
I'd really appreciate it.
Say you appreciate it enough to never use this again.
You have my word.
You always were too good to be true, man.
Derek "The Douche" Henderson.
Derek "The Dirtbag" Henderson.
Derek "Dinkwhistle" Henderson.
Who knew there were so many pejoratives that start with a "D"?
They're all cheques made out to our victim by his neighbour, Ken Glauwer.
Weirdly, no "dumbass."
It was a small claims court fight over a tree.
Judge ordered Glauwer to pay $200 a month over the next two years.
Who goes to "dinkwhistle" before "dumbass"?
Is that really significant?
Well, you never know.
Yeah, well, these went up on Halloween,
never came down.
Papier-mache, creative.
- How's his alibi? - It's weak.
Said he went out for a walk in the morning.
- I know who the shooter is. - Yeah, it's Ken Glauwer.
Bennett Kowalski.
Who the hell is that?
Former military, he was arrested for assault a few years ago.
He works security at Kellogg Airport.
Who is he to our victim? Why would he shoot Derek?
That I don't know. What I do know is that his cell phone was tracked
to the park at the exact moment of the shooting,
and then running down Van Buren. Just as all the witnesses described.
Well, let's get a search warrant for his house then.
That's it?
You're not gonna pick a fight with Milt?
Technology versus shoe leather. He's an idiot, you're not.
Look, we've got five hours tops before the gunshot residue wears off.
Give it a day, all the forensics are gone.
- I know. - We can't get a warrant.
We can't get a warrant.
Why not?
Classified information.
It's a favour from a friend.
I said that we would connect the dots ourselves.
It's easy to connect the dots, we get a warrant...
- I'm not telling you my source. - I don't need your source.
I've got my source.
You're my source.
Just go connect the dots, dinkwhistle.
I told you, I never saw the shooter.
But did you see this man in the park at all?
I'm sorry, no.
Do you recognise him? Maybe he's a friend of Derek's?
I don't think so.
Look, you know, some people, they're really bad with faces.
So, if there's any chance that you could possibly...
Thank you, Dr Henderson.
Look, Rita, we have reason to believe this is the man who shot Derek.
Detective Agnew.
- No, we only have a few hours... - Russ.
- What? - You're coaching her.
Yeah, and you should be, too.
Look, any glimmer of recognition and we get the warrant.
She said no.
If she changes her mind, it'll be a lie.
And I'm not comfortable getting a warrant based on a lie.
Milt, nobody in the park recognised this guy's photo.
Then we just keep looking. We know that Kowalski shot him.
Exactly, and unless we prove it, that piece of information is useless.
Evidence is being cleaned up right now, as we speak.
Clear here.
Cover the back door.
Milt, laundry room!
Hands in the air. Down, now!
Get down!
- Hey. - Hey.
Things must have gone really well on the cruise.
You're glowing.
Thanks.
It's probably just the rouge, but...
Yeah, the cruise was great. Five days in paradise.
- Good for you. - Yeah.
Do I smell?
- What? - Is it my breath?
- Am I boring? - What happened?
- What did he do? - Nothing.
No, he must have done something.
Nothing.
Nothing?
We stayed in a suite,
he slept on the couch.
Okay, maybe he didn't want to rush it.
I changed into my bikini with the door open. He closed it.
- So what is wrong with me? - Hey! Hey!
Nothing is wrong with you. Something is wrong with him.
Well, he called and he asked me out again.
- Okay. - For tonight.
So, you know, I'm upping my game.
- Yeah. - Yeah. Bought some perfume,
put on my tightest dress. So, look...
- This is your tightest dress? - Yeah.
Okay. Maybe you want to give the zipper a re-think.
Do you have a push-up bra?
Your Honour, when I saw "Confidential Informant"
listed as a witness on a warrant, it piqued my curiosity.
I was trying to remember where I'd seen it before.
And then I saw the name of the applying officer.
Your Honour, confidential informants
are common practice in good police work.
And these officers didn't just happen to find
Mr Milner's client with a blood-stained sweatshirt
and gunshot residue on his hands.
Clearly the CI was real and had relevant information.
It's not a question of guilt or innocence yet, Counsellor,
it's a question of process.
Is the evidence admissible?
Was the warrant obtained under false pretences?
Informants can be invented,
- and evidence fabricated. - Wait, slow down.
I don't like glib accusations.
And I would also like to meet this informant.
Satisfy my curiosity. Mrs Perlmutter?
Detective Agnew, we're going to need you to arrange a meeting with the...
It was actually an FBI informant.
That's a new one for Battle Creek.
Can I meet him?
Well, I'm sorry, Your Honour, but the reason he was listed
as a confidential informant
was out of concern for his safety.
If the FBI has concern for someone's safety,
I'm certainly not going to parade him into court.
And certainly not in front of a defence attorney.
I can meet the informant in my chambers.
Mr Milner here will have to have faith in my judgement.
Your Honour, with all due respect,
I would ask that you have faith in my judgement,
where matters of national security are involved.
The only thing I can imagine that would fall under national security,
and get the police to that man's home,
would be NSA intelligence. Is that what we're talking about?
I wish that I could answer you.
I am a fan of privacy, Agent Chamberlain.
The warrant is out.
And with the warrant goes the blood and the gunshot residue.
You got anything else?
No, Your Honour.
Mr Milner, your client is free to go.
Yes, of course.
Yes, of course. I understand.
Milt's been suspended. For a week.
The FBI wanted to transfer him.
Wanted to?
What, they couldn't find a worse place than Battle Creek?
I fought to keep him here,
I called in some favours, now do what you should've done yesterday,
and connect Kowalski to the crime.
- Russ. - Yeah.
I found something that seemed like it might be important.
Kowalski made a credit card purchase two days ago on Air Mexico.
Credit card.
You look really nice.
- Thank you. - What?
Air Mexico.
Great, so he's leaving the country.
Now we're gonna have even less time to connect him to the shooting.
I know Milt is suspended,
but the FBI has this really cool vector programme.
He called it "Six Degrees of Edgar Hoover."
You know, if there's a connection between the victim and the shooter,
- it'll find it. - Okay.
I like that. That's a good idea.
- Really? - Yeah.
I thought you'd have a problem using Milt's technology.
I'm not a troglophile.
I don't know what that is.
Look it up. Let me know.
- There's one more thing. - What's that?
I think you should apologise to him.
It was his choice to take the fall.
For you.
Milt! This is your idea of a suspension?
Most guys, they go out, they get depressed and they drink.
Yeah, well, that's one way to go.
What are you making? What is this, moonshine?
Jam.
Would you like to join us? Javier needs a partner.
No, I'm good.
So, look, Kowalski, he bought a ticket to Mexico,
so we need to connect him to Derek.
And I was wondering...
Well, actually, Holly thought that you might have some ideas.
Even though I'm suspended?
Yeah, about that. Milt, you didn't have to cover for me. You know that?
I'm just doing what anyone would have done, Russ.
No, you did what no one would've done.
Everyone else, they would blame someone else. Like me.
Thank you, I appreciate the apology.
That wasn't an apology.
Milt?
Would you be a doll and hold my funnel again?
I'm sorry, he's occupied right now.
Let me see.
Yeah, I think maybe you let the sugar boil too long.
Look, Milt, I need your
six degrees of Kevin Bacon or whatever.
I brought you your laptop.
I kind of broke into your apartment.
Command, return... Command, not shift...
Just let me do it.
You're suspended. You're not allowed.
It's taken you 20 minutes to run a cell phone.
I gotta get my jam in the jars before it sets.
You're driving me crazy here. No offence.
Yeah. None taken.
Actually, I kind of like seeing you like this.
Impatient, maybe even a little bit hostile, human.
I think suspension suits you, Milt.
Thank you, that's very kind of you.
You had to go and ruin it.
Okay, here. We got something.
Seven phone calls to Derek's office
from Vanessa Kowalski, it's the shooter's wife.
You think Derek was having an affair with her?
I don't know, maybe Kowalski found out and shot him.
Yeah, Russ.
Kowalski just left his house carrying a backpack.
Is he headed to the airport?
No, he's heading south down Main, the other direction.
South down Main? Towards Glenview Hospital?
If Derek is in imminent danger, we have exigent circumstances
to do a Terry stop. Search his backpack, look for weapons.
I'm suspended, I'm not supposed to be helping.
Don't worry, you're really not helping.
That was a stupid idea.
- The gun's not in the bag. - How do you know?
Logic. Look, we searched his apartment from top to bottom
and we've had him under surveillance ever since he was released.
And besides, Derek's in a coma.
Kowalski doesn't need a gun to kill him, all he needs is a pillow.
And all we have to do is catch him in the act.
That's your idea? To catch him as he kills the victim?
Look, we've got Jacocks and Niblet
in the hospital and they're ready to take away his...
Gun.
He doesn't have a gun.
And you're willing to bet his life on that?
What if we missed it? What if somebody slipped it to him?
Okay.
Okay, I've tweaked my idea.
I'm pretty much a sitting duck here.
A blind sitting duck.
Do you want me to be the sitting duck?
No, you're a girl, so you won't fool him.
And you're a girl, so I should do it.
The word is "woman" and thank you.
Or screw you, I'm not quite sure.
He's in the building, heading for the elevators.
Let's go.
He went right past.
Did he spot you?
- You're easy to spot. - He didn't even turn around.
The shooter's wife has a paraspinal chordoma.
It's a kind of cancer. She was in a clinical trial at Glenview
and Derek was the radiologist for the trial.
That's why we found calls between her phone and his office.
A few weeks ago, she stopped responding to the treatment.
The doctors recommended palliative care,
and told them she had a year to live.
Kowalski was adamant they keep trying and found a clinic in Tijuana.
- She flew down yesterday. - The plane ticket he bought.
I couldn't imagine being told Shaylene had a year to live.
Yeah, well, my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer,
and I would have done anything for a cure.
I just got off the phone with the clinic.
- You guys okay? - What've you got?
I talked to the clinic in Mexico. Kowalski wired payment
for his wife's treatment the day of the shooting, $50,000.
Isn't he a security guard?
- Where'd he get that kind of money? - Exactly.
That's why we couldn't find a motive for Kowalski.
Kowalski didn't hate Derek,
Kowalski was hired by someone who hated Derek.
Kowalski is a hitman.
We know about your wife,
her cancer,
the clinical trial and Mexico. I'm sorry.
No one should have to go through that.
You're not the real bad guy here.
Whoever hired you took advantage of you.
You were out of your mind with grief.
But the man who paid you, he wasn't.
He was cold and calculating.
He should pay for what he did to Derek,
and to you.
I didn't...
The DA is offering assault with intent to do great bodily harm.
Three years, you'll serve half.
It's a sweetheart deal. You just have to tell us
who paid you to shoot Derek Henderson.
Since you have no legal evidence to connect my client to this case,
the only deal we're looking for is a walk.
Yeah, we have no evidence. But that may not always be the case.
As soon as we have a single piece of admissible evidence,
this deal is off the table.
It doesn't get better than this.
That was a busy park.
If you have even the slightest worry that one of those witnesses
might remember something,
or even if you have a shred of guilt about what you've done,
take this deal.
No deal.
Two questions.
Who hated Derek enough to pay $50,000 to have him shot?
And who knew that Bennett Kowalski needed the money badly enough
- to do the shooting? - I still like Ken Glauwer.
- The neighbour who cut down the tree. - Does he have an alibi?
- Not a good one. - Then it's not him.
If you're going to hire a hitman, you make sure you have an ironclad alibi
for the time of the shooting.
Well, the person with the best alibi of all is the wife.
She was right beside him when he was shot.
No, it wasn't her.
Their separation was amicable.
Why, because she told you it was amicable?
It does happen.
My brother and his ex still go on vacation together with their kids.
See?
Two people can still be in love, even if they're not getting along.
And you, Detective Russell Agnew,
believe she's innocent, because of love?
Hey, he cares about her, there's nothing wrong with that.
No, I don't care about her, I just know that I'm right.
- It's okay to care. - I know. I just don't.
Look, I believe that she's innocent because of the evidence.
She saved his life.
Odd thing to do for someone that you wanted dead.
Are you a doctor?
For all you know, she did nothing.
And she was at Derek's bedside, day and night.
And that ends right now.
She can't be in his hospital room, not while she's under investigation.
Hey.
Super tasty on pumpernickel toast.
But I would let it sit for a day before you actually try it.
What are you doing here, Milt? You've been suspended.
I'm just catching up on a little paperwork.
Let me guess, you're headed to the hospital?
I see you've added mind reading to your superpowers.
Kowalski's a hitman, which means the wife is your prime suspect.
Divorces are ugly, if she can afford the 50 G's,
it's a fairly easy conclusion to make.
Which, apparently, you haven't made.
You know, you're usually Mr Benefit of the Doubt.
But not for this traumatized wife?
You're getting back at me, aren't you?
You're pissed about the suspension.
No. Why would I be angry? You apologised.
No, I didn't.
Where are you going? You've been suspended.
From the FBI, not the BCPD.
I can't hire you back, Milt.
I don't have the authority. Plus, I don't want to.
Fine. I'll go on a ride along.
- Not allowed. Liability issues. - Okay. How about a bet?
A gentleman's wager?
In Battle Creek, we're not gentlemen.
Make it 100 bucks.
They think I paid a man to shoot my husband?
I love him. We're getting back together.
As soon as Derek comes out of this, he'll tell you.
If he comes out of this.
Until then, is there anyone that can back this up?
A family member you might have told? Or e-mail you might have sent?
I can probably find e-mails that I sent my sister in Oregon.
Something you didn't draft personally might be a little more convincing.
Maybe you could talk to someone at the restaurant we ate at
the night before it happened.
We went out to dinner, to talk about the division of property.
- Where was this? - Gino's.
It's this restaurant we used to eat at all the time
when we first got married.
When I got there, Derek was already at the table
with the bottle of Two-Buck Chuck we used to drink,
and I sat down and he said,
"We're having a better day than Charlie Hooten."
Sorry. It was a joke from medical school.
The body we dissected in Anatomy was named Charlie Hooten,
so anytime anything went wrong, that's what we'd say.
And I laughed,
and that was it.
We never got around to dividing stuff,
we ended up talking about getting back together.
Okay.
We'll follow up on that.
But in the meantime, Dr Henderson,
you shouldn't be in the hospital any more,
especially not in here.
I understand.
Can I say goodbye?
Of course you can.
He's so good with her.
Pardon me?
Detective Agnew.
He's so patient and understanding.
Yeah, sure.
From the amount of chocolate you're eating, I'd say you either had
a lot of sex last night or none at all.
Eating only the creams, so none at all?
I tried everything.
You know, I kept leaning across the table to reach the salt.
I sucked on my baby back ribs until my jaw hurt.
I worked the word "oral" into the conversation three times.
Nothing?
No, I got a peck on the cheek at the end of the night.
And severe dehydration from all the salt.
Maybe he's gay.
Yeah, but if I'm a beard, why take me on a cruise?
He took a vow of chastity?
Just tell me that. Be proud.
Fly the flag.
Maybe you're sending the wrong message.
- Really? Think these are ambiguous? - No, I read this thing about
pheromones, they're these unconscious signals
our body sends out via hormones.
Maybe you're sending a visual signal, but not a chemical one.
Okay.
So what do I do?
Well, the next time you go out,
get your pheromones flowing.
Take a bath, down a couple shots of vodka,
maybe watch a little porn.
Porn?
How about the sex scenes from The Notebook?
Whatever works for you.
I remember them. They were cute together.
Were they fighting?
They snap at each other at all, exchange words?
No.
The opposite. They were here for three hours, chatting, holding hands.
You see! They were in love.
Weren't they, Talia?
It was kind of...
Beautiful?
At one point I heard her say something about
getting back together and I thought how strange it was,
because they weren't acting like two people who had broken up.
Thank you. You've been a big help.
Any time. Give me a call if you have any more questions.
I'd like to help in any way.
How likely is it that the waitress just happened to overhear them?
Isn't it more likely that Rita made sure that she overheard them,
then pointed us in this direction?
Battle Creek has changed you, Milt.
Before you know it, you're gonna be a bitter, cynical guy.
You better get out while you still can.
Right.
Because I'm the one who's clearly changed, right?
I'm not being cynical, Russ, I'm being logical.
But you?
Have you noticed that your newfound optimism
has made you attractive to women?
Talia couldn't keep her eyes off of you.
What a surprise.
You think I'm more attractive when I act more like you.
Hey.
Go ahead, tell the commander what the waitress said.
Russ found a witness that backed up Rita's story.
I'd love to say, "I told you so."
Rita took $10,000 out of her daughter's college account
two weeks before the shooting.
Yeah, but Kowalski got paid 50 grand.
Where's the rest of the money?
Maybe she had it on hand,
maybe she has other accounts we don't know about.
Well, how do you explain the affection from the night before?
You don't care about me or Jenny,
you go out every night,
- you're a gambling addict. - You can't take her away from me,
she's my daughter!
You stopped being a father a long time ago.
Look, I don't care what I have to do
to keep her away from you, I will do it...
Where the hell did you get that?
Their social worker.
Rita sued for full custody,
Derek was counter-suing for the same.
He secretly taped their fights and gave them to child services.
She lied to you, Russ.
Hello? Detective Agnew.
Really?
All right, thanks.
Derek came out of his coma. He's asking to see Rita.
How you feeling?
You okay?
I'm having a slightly better day than Charlie Hooten.
Do you remember anything?
I remember something about apples.
Apple-picking.
I said that to you in the ER.
And I remember having dinner.
I'm just so glad you weren't hurt.
I'm so sorry about everything, Rita.
When something like this happens...
I know. Me too.
Okay. Mrs Henderson, time to go.
Why? Are visiting hours over?
I can't be here. They...
They think I paid someone to do this to you.
No, it's not true. She wouldn't hurt me. I know she wouldn't.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. It's okay.
I'll call you from home, okay?
- Listen... - I'll be thinking of you.
- All right? - Wait.
It wasn't Rita. She wouldn't have done that.
And you don't recognise Kowalski from the park?
'Cause if you saw him,
then we could use that to pressure him to give up a name and clear Rita.
Who do you think would hire him?
Nobody. I don't know.
Maybe Kowalski did it out of spite.
His wife was in one of our clinical trials.
And she wasn't responding.
We took her off the medication.
Yeah, but you weren't her primary physician
- and no other doctors were shot at. - I don't know.
Look, I'm sorry, I just don't think Rita is capable of this.
He needs to rest.
Can you come back another time?
Of course.
Why did you lie about the divorce?
I didn't.
It was bad at times, but not all the time,
and we had this really great dinner.
And I was sure that we were going to work things out.
He said you were an unfit mother,
he said you were
clinically depressed and negligent.
You said he was
a control freak with an explosive temper, verging on the abusive.
We were fighting all the time, but we both loved Jenny.
Fighting all the time, or not all the time?
- Can I speak to Detective Agnew? - No.
She's changing her story.
She's rattled, anyone would be.
You still believe her?
Yes.
... so why was that?
I didn't want Jenny around his temper or his gambling.
But now you do?
Now you're reconciling?
Derek admitted that he has a problem and he said he'll get help.
How do you explain this?
You took $10,000 out of Jenny's college fund two weeks ago.
I didn't write that cheque.
I'm a paediatrician, we don't live in this world.
Somebody's done this to us.
I'm sorry, Russell, but I'm going to have to hold you to that $100 bet.
She said it on the audiotape, and she just said it again.
Derek was a gambler.
Gambling will get you killed.
You truly believe Derek lost so much money that somebody paid
Kowalski $50,000 to have him killed?
Seems like a lot of money to pay somebody because you didn't get paid.
Let me tell you how gambling addicts behave, Milt.
You owe someone money, right?
So you manage to go out and get just enough money to pay them back.
But you don't pay them back. You go out and you place another bet,
in the idiotic belief that you're gonna double your cash
and you're gonna pay back what you owe
and you're just gonna keep on going.
That's the kind of thing that gets you shot.
Yeah, if you were working any other case,
you'd find that logic pretty weak.
But you and Rita went through a very powerful experience.
You saved a life together.
- The adrenaline, the trauma... - Mickey Long.
Who?
Derek placed a call to him two weeks ago.
I busted Mickey Long last year for bookmaking.
You're on probation for bookmaking, Mickey,
but I know that your poker game is up and running.
- It's not. - No, it is.
But here's the thing.
I'm not going to bust you for violating your probation
if you tell us the truth about one thing.
How much money did Derek Henderson lose at your game,
and who did he lose it to?
Lose? Derek didn't lose.
I'm over you, we're taking you in.
Actually, he's taking you in, I'm suspended.
He won.
A week ago,
he came in with 10 G's. He walked with 50.
That's a cheque for 10 grand from your daughter's college account.
You see this guy right here?
In three days, he's gonna be re-instated back into the FBI.
And they have the best of everything, including handwriting analysts.
What do you think they're going to say when they see
the signature on that cheque?
You think I did it?
That's crazy, why would I shoot myself?
You were willing to do anything to kill your wife,
and he was willing to do anything to keep his alive.
But your feelings for Rita were far more complicated
than you ever anticipated, weren't they?
You know, your cell phone tells us
a lot about the hours before the shooting.
You went to the hospital where Kowalski's wife was a patient.
You went to Kowalski's place, twice.
Pretty risky move.
Go try to find the guy that you hired to kill Rita.
Why would you do that?
After your dinner with Rita,
you started to have second thoughts,
the only problem was that you couldn't get through to Kowalski.
Poor bastard was probably holed up somewhere,
trying to find the courage to shoot a complete stranger.
You know what I think?
I think that you went to that park
to try to get Rita and Jenny the hell out of there.
And then you saw Kowalski making a move towards Rita.
I couldn't let him hurt her.
I couldn't.
He just confessed?
To trying to kill me?
Look, Rita, I know that you love Derek,
but I also heard the audiotape of the two of you fighting,
so I know that at one point you hated him, too.
I never could have hurt him.
When it came right down to it, he couldn't either.
Look, this guy threw himself in front of a bullet for you.
He was willing to give his life to save yours.
What are you saying? That I should just forgive and forget?
No.
I'm saying... Remember that night at the restaurant?
You said that it changed everything.
Well, he felt the same way, too.
I can't do that.
Maybe you're just a better person than I am.
- Here you go. - What?
- No, no, no. No, stop. No, no. - Take it. No, no, no, here.
- I'm not taking your money. - Take it.
- No, I don't want it. - Take it, take it, take it.
Excuse me, Detective Agnew?
Could I talk to you for a minute?
I'll be in the car.
I just wanted to say congratulations.
- I heard you solved the case. - Yeah.
Thanks.
It's been a real pleasure watching you do your job.
Okay.
You have so much compassion and empathy.
That's a great bedside manner.
I could probably use some lessons.
I was just doing what anybody would do.
Look, it's hard to meet a nice guy with my hours.
Especially one who's not scared of letting down his guard.
Yeah.
So, I wanted to give you my number.
Okay.
Call me sometime.
Thanks, I will.
Okay.
Bye.
- How's the date? - Well, I'm here,
not there, aren't I?
So, the pheromones?
Hi, you've reached the answering machine for Dr Stephanie Owens.
I'm not in right now,
but if you leave your name and number, I'll get back to you.
We had a drink.
He asked me about yoga. I offered to show him.
So I got down on my knees, I did this back bend,
and grabbed onto my heels, 'cause it just so happens
that is a position that opens the lower chakras.
- Perfect. - And they opened. Mine.
Not his.
Yeah, he told me, "That's cool."
And then we watched some TV and he said he was tired.
I think you're right.
I'm just not sending out the right vibes.
But you definitely want to have sex with him, right?
I definitely want to have sex.
With him?
- Wait a minute. Whoa, whoa, whoa. - Shut up.
