Original subtitles

Previously on Shattered. Why don't you put that thing down so we don't go home

with you?

Super's running for mayor.

He hasn't announced his campaign yet.

I'm moving to the suburbs.

I need a favor. I would love it if you would speak at an event on behalf of my

husband. You certainly owe it to him. I don't drink, but sometimes I smell like

booze. How do you explain that? Trying to tell me that you drink during your

blackouts? How am I supposed to know what I do in my blackouts? They're

blackouts! Ben, do you feel these blackouts are having a negative impact

performance? No.

Okay. Oh, no. Okay.

It's my daughter.

Hi, Mia.

Because it's a school night and you're only 14.

Mia?

You told me to shoot. Where's his gun?

Am I shot?

Then why'd you tell me to shoot? Do the right thing.

Why'd you tell me to shoot? Ben!

It wasn't me.

What is going on? Ben, why are you here? Because I wanted to stop. You want what

to stop?

Blackouts.

Listen, that was fun but I have to go.

I was 14.

I was shooting on Becky Halberstadt.

So I decided I was going to show off for her. And I go and I climb up the flight

stand and I'm hanging around the stairs.

Unfortunately, I did not have a plan on how I was going to get down.

Gravity. Yeah, that's right. Hence, it didn't work.

That was around five.

Only brother on the slopes.

And I'm obsessed with that T -bar thing that goes round and round, right?

Picture your boy getting perpetually whacked.

Couldn't even follow, keeping me up.

Only thing I got down was I slipped in the snow.

I never understood why you people go out in that cold -ass weather trying to

kill yourselves, okay?

Ben, you gotta get that look done, man. It's gonna scar you. What, does it look

infected? No, it's just ruining your boy's good looks.

And it's gonna terribly disappoint the ladies, man.

What did you do there? You cut yourself shit.

Yeah, I woke up with it.

I was sleepwalking.

I guess I was sleepwalking, walked through the trailer out the front and

fell into a lawnmower.

Where's the mother?

Maybe she's stuck at your... That's probably what it was.

So every time a blackout, it's not like a bad thing that happens. It's not

always a bad thing.

Where'd you get the cash on your head?

Ben,

you're losing large chunks of time.

So it's not always good things that happen either, right?

Why are you resisting looking at that?

I'm not resisting.

I'm not resisting. How am I supposed to... How do I describe something I

don't... What are you scared of?

If I throw up, my devils, my angels might go too.

I can't authorize that.

I don't have the budget. Kim, go over my head.

Work held you up? Yeah, I decided not to attend.

After you promised you'd introduce Kevin.

At an event that took a great deal of time and no small cost to arrange.

You left me scrambling.

Is it that you don't want to see your boss elected mayor? Kevin is the one who

came knocking on my door.

So he's the one who owes you.

You're right.

He does.

But you also strike me as a woman of your word.

And you didn't keep yours.

Glenn Curran was expecting to see you. As were two of his trustees and his CFO.

Who said they're looking at you for their board.

We're meeting for dinner tonight to plan Kevin's next community outreach event.

I told them you'd join us.

Did Kevin put you up to this?

Kevin?

As far as he knows, we aren't talking.

And I hate your guts.

I appreciate your honesty.

You're the public face of the squad room.

He needs your support.

All right, Laura.

As long as we are clear that this is not about me owing anybody anything.

I'll see you this evening.

Gwen will be so pleased.

Gwen.

Okay, yeah.

You call him, you find out, and you let me know, all right?

Okay. Let me know.

Save it if you're planning on apologizing for missing last night.

bigger problem.

Which is? The refrigeration system on the DNA evidence freezer has gone down.

The medical examiner's office says your tooth flow is solving cases that rely on

DNA. The department says the ME's office's tooth flow is processing the

evidence we need to make those cases.

So did Super stand up, or did he throw us under the bus?

It's a rhetorical question.

There is good news.

Extra manpower has been allocated to processing backlogged DNA kits on any

for which you may have a lead.

Well, we have unprocessed DNA in the eighth case.

Well, if he died or murdered, how's it going to happen in a fair with the

secretary?

I'd like to see that off the board.

All right.

Fina, make the Yates case a priority.

Got a murder on South Main.

You and Moose make fresh tracks.

I have a body on the slab that looks better than he does.

It's Mia, the victim's daughter. Found her mother this morning.

When she didn't come home last night, she took the bus over looking for her.

his alarm system went down.

They have a security camera at the entrance.

Out of service. She touch anything?

No, she was in shock.

Didn't make it past the office door.

Charlotte Sims, 38.

Bound and struck repeatedly with a blunt object, probably a fist. Cause of death

is asphyxiation as Peterfield hemorrhaging.

Time of death is approximately 12 hours ago. So nice of you.

Marks on the body are consistent with the taser. No rings, no jewelry? No.

No money in her wallet, no valuables whatsoever.

Robbery.

Maybe she was tortured for the combination to the safe.

Maybe.

Your call mentioned there were new developments in the murder of my wife

daughter. New evidence is being processed, yeah.

So you haven't caught anyone yet?

I just need to go over what happened with you one more time. Look, I want to

find out what happened more than anyone. I cooperated with you the first time,

and I got screwed.

When the media got a hold of my story, it didn't matter who did it. I took the

blame.

Perhaps you should have considered that before you had the affair.

Having your mistress as your alibi.

Not a good look.

Does that make me husband and father of the year?

No. Does it make me the killer?

No.

How is Erin?

Keep her out of it.

Well, you know we can't do that.

You can get there.

Hi.

Sorry, look, I've been held up. Can I call you back when I know?

Me too.

How much do you want to bet that was Aaron? I think that was Aaron. That was

Aaron, wasn't it?

Do you have any idea what the last six months of my life has been like?

News cameras outside of my front door.

Never knowing when a reporter is going to blindside me, having to sneak in and

out of my own home. You're still seeing her, though, right? We had to fake

breaking up to make our lives tolerable. Is that a crime?

She was the only one who would stick by me.

Like him for it?

Doesn't seem concerned about the DNA.

Maybe he knows he covered his tracks.

Mia, is there someone we can call?

Dad moved to Chicago after the divorce.

Haven't heard from him in years.

My brother, Jonah, moved out.

He doesn't answer my calls, just texts sometimes.

Any aunt, uncle, a relative?

No.

Is there anyone else around? Was your mom dating anyone?

No. When was the last time you saw your mom?

Yesterday, before school.

I called her at work last night because I wanted to meet up with some friends.

What time?

8 .30.

She wouldn't let me.

I hung up on her.

When was the last time your mom spoke with John?

Depends on if he needed money.

What's going to happen to me now?

We're going to try to contact your father and your brother.

And in the meanwhile, someone from social services is going to come and

with you.

Which one of you is Jonathan?

Who's asking?

I need to talk to you about your mother.

What about my mother? I don't think we should be having this conversation out

here. Come on.

What happened?

Your mother was murdered last night.

Oh, man.

When was the last time you spoke to her?

A couple of days ago. I don't live at home anymore, so we fight a lot. What

about? Stupid stuff.

What happened?

He's at the office. Looks like a robbery.

Do you know of anyone who'd want to harm your mom?

No.

Do you know any of her clients?

Um, she did the books for Dante Ware.

Agent of Asphalt, Dante Ware. Yeah, yeah, that guy.

You know if he threatened her in any way?

I don't know. She does his books, man. That's all I know, okay?

Where's my sister?

She's at the station.

Is she okay?

Yeah.

Did you call our dad?

Yeah, we left work with him. Do you have another number for him? Because the one

Mia gave us, we haven't been able to reach him yet. Don't just keep calling.

He'll call you back.

Is this where we can find you if we need to talk to you again? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Charlotte

Sims, that

husband, was definitely in Chicago last night.

Looks like a clean divorce eight years ago with no contacts in.

Is he going to pick up his daughter?

No.

Financial forensics does confirm that Charlotte Sims was doing Ware's book and

whole lot more.

She was dealing from him.

Dante

Ware.

Have a new bike?

A couple months old, yeah.

Nice.

What are you looking for? A ride around the block or something?

Charlotte Simms. My accountant.

She was murdered.

Corporate year end.

Bad time to die.

Where were you last night?

Back there with the dogs.

A hundred people say so.

And we take a look at your tax return. We're going to find something you didn't

like in there.

We done?

Done.

Thanks for coming in, Tom. I appreciate it. I'm always available for you, Kevin.

Hey, looking good.

Hope this new job ain't keeping you up at night.

Yeah, I sleep very well, Tom. Thanks.

Lynch, Sullivan, you know Tom Rutherford from Gangs and Guns. I've asked him to

consult on this as a favor to me.

Yeah, and when Kevin Whitehill calls, you listen. Ain't that the golden rule,

huh? Next time you want my help, you might want to give me a heads up if you

want to talk to a major gang leader.

It's a respect thing, you know? Dante is a suspect in a murder investigation.

Charlotte Timmons was his personal accountant.

We know.

She already keeps a pretty good tab on those books. They always come back

Well, it seems she was keeping a separate set of books, skimming off the

whatever she was reporting.

Yeah, but did we even know if this book was legit? It was in her handwriting.

Some of the names and dates match legitimate transactions.

And how much money are we talking about?

Forensic accountants are going over it, but right now the numbers are adding up

to six figures.

Six figures, huh?

That's a lot of money. You find someone to talk to or to?

Crime scene was consistent with a robbery.

So if she was stealing from Dante, then it was the books he was after. Yeah,

it's possible.

Where'd you find the other books?

In her home.

And we thought we had warrants and wiretaps on every inch of Dante's life.

Well, naturally, we'll share all the evidence we find as we proceed.

You know of any other gangs she might have been involved with?

None that I know of, but when you're the devil's bean counter, anything's

possible.

I'll show you out.

How's Karen and the kids?

They're pretty chummy.

Kevin brought him in from Vice when he was promoted.

Seems that none of his own team was worthy.

Oh, thanks.

Mm -hmm.

Thanks to all the additional manpower, we've now processed the skin samples

found under the Yates' daughter's fingernails. The owner isn't in any of

databases. However, we can say that it belongs to a woman.

So that exonerates Martin Yates?

That doesn't mean that it wasn't there with someone else.

Right, like the mistress, Karen.

Yeah, well, they're each other's alibi, right?

Shame it took you so long to come to that conclusion, because if you had

earlier, you could have checked at the scratch mark.

Are you squeezing my stones? Is that what you're doing, Dana?

Hardly, Perry. I respect the integrity of your stones far too much.

I'm pointing out that your investigation was impacted by the lack of resources

necessary to process your DNA. Well, that's good, because I'm okay with that,

but John's very sensitive in that area.

My stone's fine, Vena.

I'm sorry, Mia. I know this is hard.

Your mother may have been killed because she was skimming from one of her

clients. His name is Dante Ware.

He's the leader of a gang called the Agents of Asphalt.

Did your mother ever talk about him?

No. Did his name ever come up?

No. Have you heard from my dad?

I spoke with him, but he's not coming.

What about my brother?

He knows that you're here.

And he didn't want to come get me?

No.

It's all right.

I just can't believe this, you know.

Why don't I get you some water, okay?

Hey, hey, hey.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Why are you crying?

Just sad.

You know what?

Last time I was here, some dude hit me right in the face.

Really? Yeah. No word of a lie.

Want to get out of here?

Yeah. Yeah.

Come on, let's go.

Please leave a message.

Hey, Laura. Sorry I'm late.

Oh, Dan is held up, too. Have a seat.

Never sit with your back to the room.

Plus, the view is so much better from here.

Look.

They have to be hookers.

I mean, there's no other explanation.

Hey, how much do you think two like that cost him for the night?

Why are you asking me?

You're a cop.

I'm sure you have a rough idea what a hooker costs.

I don't know. They could be his daughters.

Can I get a glass of that little candy, please?

No, no. Let's get a bottle.

Thanks.

You can put it on a campaign expense account.

Kevin must have some deep pockets, patron.

That's what this is all about.

Did Glenn get held up too?

Oh, he had a conflict. So it's just you and me?

Mm -hmm.

Okay, so where's that bottle?

I knew you'd come around.

for bringing me here.

No problemo. So this is Sally.

Yeah. Her parents are never around, so we can just hang out, you know?

Okay. Have fun. Okay. All right.

See ya. Okay.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude.

Can I buy a beer off you?

No, it's all right. Take it.

Take it.

Hey.

How you doing?

morning i just took enough of the coffees

where

am i still outside sally's you fell asleep before you could drive anywhere

was a good thing my head's killing me thanks for the night out i actually

about what happened to my mom for a little while

I remember my brother saying something about him.

Who? Dante Ware.

When you asked yesterday, I didn't want to get Jonah in trouble.

What did he say?

Just that he was cool.

Then Jonah and my mom argued, and he never talked about him after that.

What did they argue about?

I don't know.

Money, I think.

Did that happen?

Just before he moved out, the last argument was a bad one.

Thank you.

I appreciate that.

I do. And this.

What?

I gotta get you back to the station.

Can't I stay with my friend Sally?

Look, I'd have to talk to Sally's mom first.

I mean, we can do that down the road, but right now you gotta come with me.

know, and if you could keep whatever happened last night between us.

That'd be great. Sure.

Thank you.

Do you need help?

Yes.

I'm a stiff.

She was upset I took her to her friends.

Do you know the dance I had to do with social services when I couldn't find you

two? I'm sorry.

Really.

I'm your partner, Ben, not your cleanup crew, and I'm not your alibi.

Okay, the point is, she felt better, so she opened up about, uh, Jonah's

involvement with Dante.

She knew him?

Dante was the subject of an argument between Jonah and his mother, something

about money.

Detectives. Vena.

My autopsy didn't reveal anything out of the ordinary, but I thought you'd like

to know that Charlotte Sims had intercourse prior to her death.

How prior?

Moments, I'd say.

We have DNA. I'll let you know if we get a match. Let me know. Your lips to my

ears. I'll let him know.

You feel sorry?

Very.

That's a coming in error.

Is it okay that we call you Aaron?

I don't know what else I have to add.

I'm just... Taking another look at the case, and we wanted to go over the

of that night.

My version of events.

To see if they're still the same as Martin's. If you wouldn't mind.

Martin came over to my place after work, about 6 .30.

We made dinner and stayed for the night.

There was a call placed from him to you.

Why would he be calling you if he was with you all night?

That was a pocket dial.

I always say, Martin, put your phone on lock. But he forgets, puts it in his

pocket. Happens a lot.

So you're certain that he was there all night?

I'm a late sleeper. And he didn't go out at all, not even to make a run to the

store or anything?

You have statements from two of my neighbors.

One who saw Martin arrive and the other who saw him leave.

Doesn't that bother you, having an affair with a married guy?

I'm not proud of it.

I suppose it was easier to justify because I'd never met Martin's family.

Not that that's any excuse.

You processed the DNA from the crime scene.

revealed something very interesting.

In addition to the family members, there was an unidentified female present.

What are you saying?

That you know Martin didn't do it?

No, we kind of think it was you.

Typically, we'd ask you for a blood sample.

Why? What for?

To eliminate you as a suspect.

I told you I've never been to that house.

Right, that's right, you said that.

And if you just give us a blood sample, we can move on from this.

No, I'm not going to do that.

Can I leave now?

There's the door.

That was nice, what you did.

What?

Taking me into a friend's place.

Staying there to make sure she was safe.

Thank you. Nice.

There he is.

Jonah.

Is that from Dante?

Mia told me she saw you and your mom arguing about him.

About money.

You know, my sister tends to imagine things.

Mother was murdered, Jonah.

Nobody's imagining that.

She was beaten.

She was tied to a chair.

She was tortured.

She had a bag pulled over her head. So she started to suffocate. Do you want me

to stop? Yeah, stop.

Look at me.

Your mother worked for Dante. How do you fit in?

I made him for my mom, okay?

I thought you might want to be in on this.

Yeah, thanks for the heads up.

So that seems cute, huh?

You think he was involved with Dante?

That was cool.

You know, he did what he wanted. He didn't take crap from anyone.

What? He turned me on to some meth.

Asked if I had any friends that were into it. You do.

Dante in front of me in 8 -ball.

Asked me to turn it, and he gave me a cut, so I did. Then a few more.

Things went smooth, you know. I turned it around fast.

I had more money than God.

And then he frauded me half a kilo.

Things went south.

I got ripped off.

For the whole amount?

Yeah.

I don't know if they were after the dope. Bunch of punks cornered me,

was carrying the package.

They scored big, and then... They had no money to pay the piper.

Huh.

Guys like Dante.

They don't care if your mother's a girlfriend.

Business is business.

So you went to your mother for the money?

Mm -hmm.

That's what you were arguing about.

Manning over the last installment tonight.

100 Gs and we're done.

Okay.

Sit tight.

Oh, the mom's still from Dante to give the money to her son. Take it back to

Dante.

Oh, boy.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. How crazy is that?

Kicking the ass is what I call it.

Detective. Yeah?

I got the DNA results on the semen we found on Charlotte's skin. We made a

match. It belongs to a Dante Ware.

I take it you're all familiar with that name.

That's enough to charge him.

Thanks.

Joy's meeting with him tonight to make his final payment, right?

We'll stake out the meeting.

It's a join -off in your lead.

Get him in the box and see where we go from there. Okay.

Guys like Dante don't roll over that easy, you know. Text me a progress. I'll

hook up with you later.

All right.

Hit me when you pick him up. I'll meet you back here.

You late?

I felt like someone would be late to pick up a hundred grand.

Someone's either tipped him off or he's dead.

We processed the DNA found under your daughter's fingernails.

Belonged to a woman.

We had Aaron here earlier. Did she tell you that?

No. We asked her for a DNA sample just to rule her out.

And? She refused.

What do you make of that?

Look, if there's something you're not telling us, Martin, now's the time.

You'd think that Aaron did this?

I actually think both of you did it. I didn't kill my family. And you're lying

about being with her all night.

Help us to understand this, Martin. What are you doing? Are you covering for her

or what?

Look, if you're protecting her right now, You might want to think that

Because I can already see that you're wondering if she murdered your family.

Were you or were you not with her all night?

We weren't. We're what? Together.

The whole night.

I went there. I went to her place.

But then I had to go back to the office. I'd left some papers there.

I stayed to clean up some leftover files. I was gone.

Maybe three hours.

What time was that?

From around 8 to 10 .30.

And you called her from the office?

Yeah.

That's right. I called around 9 .30 to tell her I'd be home soon.

She said she couldn't talk.

See, she told us that was a pocket dial.

We spoke for a minute.

That's the time that we estimate that your wife and daughter were murdered.

She sounded so normal on the phone.

What in God's name have I done?

Oh my God, what have I done?

Why did you lie to us, Martin?

Aaron thought it would be best if... We said we were together the whole night.

Otherwise they would suspect me. They always suspect us.

Even when he's innocent.

Well, we're going to need you to help us confirm whether or not Aaron was

involved in this.

You'll help us.

Won't you, Martin?

So what's the deal?

Dante just didn't show up?

Rutherford says nothing unusual is happening, but guys like Dante don't

miss collecting a debt.

All right, well, what about the Sims kid, Jonah? He seems to be up to his

in it. I don't think he had anything to do with his mother's death.

But he may have had reason to tip Dante. We don't know. So what's your next

play? Tell Dante, see if we can find out who tipped him.

All right, we'll keep in touch with the gangs and guns.

Hey, Amy, Chris.

Just wondering what you and Laura discussed over dinner last night.

Um...

Older men, cheap women, and Italian grapes.

I thought maybe you were discussing me.

No, I never came up.

What's this all about?

You like surprises, Erin?

No. Well, we got one for you anyway.

Your DNA matches the DNA we found under Ambiate's fingernails.

How is that possible?

Martin brought in one of your old hair braces.

You're lying.

Martin brought it in himself.

Why would he give you that? Maybe because you killed his family.

Did he tell you that?

Where is he? I want to talk to him. He doesn't want to talk to you right now.

I'm not really feeling comfortable talking about this. I bet.

My lawyer said you would be trying to get a confession out of me because

under pressure to get convictions on account of your DNA that you grew up.

I want you to tell us your story, right? Because we know what Martin said, and

we know what the DNA said.

What did Martin say?

He said you fought.

He said you were stressed out and needed a break. So he went to the office, but

he promised to come back.

I waited and

waited.

But he didn't come back.

So you went to the house?

Like I was watching me drive there.

Watching me confront his wife.

There was yelling, screaming.

The phone rang, and I was in his kitchen.

I was too late.

Bad news, D.

Can't cover you on this one, because you left DNA on Charlotte.

Now they think you killed her.

That sounds like Rutherford. Yeah, but you and I know that I didn't.

So it's not just my ass that needs covering, Tommy.

It's your ass, too.

You know, for such a smart guy, you're pretty dumb.

You let that woman steal your money.

Give it to her kid so he could pay you back with your own dog.

Lesson learned.

Never screw a broad and let her do your books.

Oh, so you think this is funny?

No. Why you think I gave you the contract on her? You should have been

careful about it when you did it.

Sierra Bravo 12, shock fire to the gray SUV.

Brotherford

You in here alone

The gun down, Tom.

No, that's not gonna happen.

You killed two people.

Now you're gonna start killing cops.

Maybe I'll start with you.

How did you get here?

You really want to know what happened to me?

I started rolling with Dante. That's what happened.

I realized that was the life I really wanted.

Lots of money.

Bought this place.

Then, super, you promoted me to gangs and guns.

So I was bulletproof.

Or so you thought.

And so what do we do now?

It's your choice.

It was my choice.

Well, it was up to me.

You let me walk out of here in exchange for a couple hundred thousand large

under the floorboard.

By the time you pull that up, that could be long gone.

You know I won't do that.

Yeah.

That's why you're going to be the primary on this one.

Well, I don't do jail.

Freeze! Police!

We're giving you a free pass on the meth thing.

No record.

No charges.

Don't blow it. Jonah!

I won't.

Hey, kiddo. Hey.

Hi. Hi.

Witness protection will take care of you. Give you a clean start.

Thanks.

For everything.

You're welcome.

You two, uh, take care of each other, okay?

Oh, we will. We will.

Uh -huh.

Thank you so much.

I'm sorry to hear about Tom. I know you guys were friends.

I'll be fine.

Is this going to derail you getting elected?

Rutherford saved us a messy and expensive trial.

Plus, we got a gang leader off the streets, so the press will have to

acknowledge that I'm strong on crime.

All good, then.

Pam.

You didn't talk about me at all.

Didn't I?

in the interrogation room with Mia.

And she's upset because she is feeling

abandoned.

She's got nowhere to go.

So I'm consoling her. And in that,

one of her tears...

The front line hung over.

All these, uh... Yeah,

right there.

Do you think the tear was a trigger?

That significant, Ben?

Whatever happened in that blackout... Some sort

of trust had been... formed with me because she gave me some information

she wasn't going to give me before.

You know, so every time I black out, it's not like a bad thing that happens.

It's not always a bad thing.

Don't give a damn.

Cause I'm still the

same.

I never change.

Just change.
