Turn your damn headlights off.

Sarge?

Yeah, I see it.

Dim your headlights.

Bravo six Romeo.

We got a possible level three.
Going to confirm. Over.

That Sergeant Bly?

Sergeant, there a problem?

Sergeant?

Sergeant, what are you doing?

He's got a weapon.

Put the weapon on the dash. Now!

Now!

Step out of the vehicle
with your hands up.

Oh, my God,

Bly, what happened?

Jason. Thanks for coming.

Of course, Victor.
This is Chester Palmer,

- our lead counsel at TAC.
- How are you, sir?

This is
Colonel Victor Taggart,

one of the finest psychiatrists

the U.S. Army has to offer.

Also one of the very few
psychiatrists in the U.S. Army.

Jason's been ragging me

for 15 years about headshrinking
for the Army.

It's true

that therapy is not as
popular in military circles

as I'd like, but
I feel confident

we can turn that around.

In another generation or two.

What's going on?

I run a unit here
that treats soldiers

dealing with trauma suffered
during deployment.

PTSD's epidemic,
as you can imagine.

One of my patients
was just charged with murder.

Name's Sergeant Carter Bly.

Colonel, if this involves

a military court proceeding,

I'm not sure that TAC
is the right fit for you.

It happened off base
under civilian authority.

And before you ask,

Bly waived confidentiality,
so no HIPAA issues.

So, what happened?

He confessed to killing
another soldier.

Sergeant Nathan Wells.
They were friends.

Best friends.

He confessed.
Did he give a reason?

There is no reason.

That's why you're here.

I've known Nathan
since high school.

Day after graduation,

he drove us
to the recruiting station.

I was hesitant.

But Nathan walked right up
to the recruiter

and said he was there
to serve his country.

That's how he was.

He didn't like talking
about a thing.

He'd just do it.

You need to take a moment?

No, sir.

Nathan and I did basic together,

one tour in Iraq,
two in Afghanistan.

What happened the night
that Sergeant Wells died?

We were hanging out

in Pelham Bay Park.

Used to go there
when we were kids.

What were you doing there?

Drinking beers. You know.

Hanging out.

Then a vehicle backfired.

Came out of nowhere.

It was loud.

Next thing I know,

I'm standing over Nathan
with a gun in my hand.

Whose was it? Yours?

No, sir.

It was Nathan's.
He always had it on him.

Well, how did you get it?

I must have grabbed it.

Why do that?

I don't remember.

It's all right, Carter.

In therapy, I've learned
that when I dissociate,

I'm in
a fight-or-flight mentality.

I could've thought Nathan
was trying to kill me or...

I don't know. Anything, really.

I just don't know.

Nathan was like family to me.

Last thing I wanted to do
was hurt him.

I've been seeing these
kind of cases more and more.

Soldiers experiencing
PTSD episodes,

coupled with
dissociative disorders.

Bly's case is more
severe than most,

but the experience he's
describing isn't unique.

It's not even
all that unusual.

Can you help him?

Colonel, even
with Sergeant Bly's illness,

if we take his case,

we'd strongly recommend
a plea deal.

Plead guilty? Why?

Well, because he did it

and because
he confessed to it

and I see no other credible way
to argue it.

He wasn't in
his right mind.

Come on.

If there was

ever a case to argue
diminished capacity, this is it.

Vic, the insanity defense

is only used
in about one percent

of cases, and even then,
it's only successful

25% of the time.

Juries don't like saying someone

isn't responsible
for something they clearly did.

But he wasn't responsible.

Jason, the U.S.
military takes

healthy young men and women
straight out of high school

and ships them off
to the battlefield.

And when they come back
emotionally damaged,

soldiers like Bly
who seek treatment

get stigmatized.

Their careers stall out.

Now, there's a number of us
who are trying to change that,

but shifting institutionalized
- norms takes time. Okay.

We do understand that.

Bly's condition
is not his fault.

It's a result
of his service to this country.

There's no way on earth

that that young man
should go to prison.

And you're willing to
testify to that in court?

Absolutely. And all day long.
Bull, look,

I just have to say
that if we plead this out,

Bly is looking

at a reduced sentence.
Maybe as little as five years.

But if we take this to trial,
all that is

out the window.
He's looking at 20, minimum.

There's a ton of downside
if we lose.

Well, then I guess
we're gonna have to win.

Mm. Did your super fix
that leaky sink yet?

He said he's waiting
on a part to come in.

They don't take that long.
I'll go talk to him.

Dad, my apartment,
my sink, my problem.

I know. I'm just saying I don't
want him brushing you off.

Want one of these?
- I'll finish this stack.
- No, thanks.

I'm starting a new trial today,

and I never know if I'm gonna
have enough time to eat lunch.

About the trial... Oh,

I read that story that you wrote
about the, um...

the, uh, pigeon

and the dog.
It was hilarious.

It was a puff piece.

No, it was funny. It made me
smile. That's not nothing.

Dad, I need to talk to... I know you want to be doing
more compelling,

hard-hitting journalism,
but you've only been

at BANG Online
for, what, a few months?

You got to pay your dues, kid.

My editor asked me
to cover your trial.

What?

The Fort Dryer murder.

My editor asked me
to write a story on it.

That's...

Anna, that's...

What?

You don't think I can
handle the story.

No, I didn't say that.

But you go
from writing animal stories

one week to covering
a high-profile murder

- the next?
- I've been working really hard.

I know you have.

But your editor knows

that I'm representing
the defendant, right?

- Yes.
- Mm-hmm.

He thinks that you're
gonna be able to hit me up

for information, Anna.

He's taking advantage of you.

This is my shot, Dad.

And okay.

Maybe it did come a little early because

my editor thinks that
I have an in with you.

But I promise I'm not gonna
ask you for any favors.

I'm writing this story.

Well, if you are going to do
this, then you have to know

you and I are gonna have to keep
things completely separate.

I'm talking
church and state separate.

Well, I'd argue that the church

influenced the state
quite a bit... Anna.

Church and state. Got it.

Good. You're both here.

We need to start digging
on the Fort Dryer case.

Already started.

This is so sad. I've been
digging through their socials.

These guys did
everything together.

How do you get over

killing your best friend?
Well, the fact

that they were so close,
that has to be good for us,

right? There's no motive
for the prosecutor to point to.

Well, technically,
the prosecution

doesn't need motive
to prove murder,

but the lack of one
certainly helps us.

So, Taylor,
stay on their relationship.

That is our offense.

Danny, you're on defense.

Which is?

PTSD.

Colonel Taggart will testify
as an expert witness,

but it would be great
if we could find anyone

who has witnessed
Bly experiencing

a PTSD episode.

- I'm on it.
- Marissa?

Henri.

- I'm sorry to interrupt
- Uh, no.

Uh, perfect timing.
I'll check in

with you two later.

Who's the hot French guy?

No clue.

Go, Marissa.

It's perfect.

- It fits the space quite well.
- Thank you for bringing it.

I doubt most gallery owners
would take the trouble

to install
their clients' artwork.

Well, most of my clients don't
spend months visiting the piece

before they make
the purchase.

I wanted to be sure
that you were certain.

I was certain
the moment I laid eyes on it.

I just...

needed to earn it.

Well,
she was meant for you.

This may sound silly,

but I do believe in
a spiritual connection with art.

Well, I hope it's not silly.

It's been the guiding principle
of my life.

Uh, this is a law firm, no?

Uh, not exactly. We're
a trial science company.

- Ah.
- We consult on legal cases before they go

- to trial.
- Ah.

- Why? Do you need a lawyer?
- I could use a little legal consultation, perhaps.

Have a seat.
Let me see if I can help.

I do some work

with a nonprofit
that attempts to repatriate

art and antiquities
to their countries of origin,

and we recently identified
a centuries-old tribal mask

that was stolen
from the Guro people

off the Ivory Coast.

Unfortunately, the item is
about to go up for auction

here in New York,

and we won't have
the official chain of title

for a couple of weeks.

And once the piece is sold, it...

it could disappear forever.

Have you explained the situation

to the auction house?

Without proof of provenance,

auctioneers
tend to be dismissive

of these claims.

But I thought I could stall

with the threat of legal action?

Our in-house counsel

is in the middle
of trial right now,

but I might be able
to scare them a little.

Nathan was incredibly proud
to serve in the military,

to be a role model
to our five-year-old son, Jack.

You must have been proud
of him, too.

Absolutely. Proud and
sometimes worried.

I said a lot of
prayers when Nathan

was deployed,
but I never thought

that he would be killed at home

by one of his
fellow soldiers.

I know this is tough, but
you got to look at her.

Mrs. Wells, are you aware

that the defendant
claims he was suffering

from a PTSD blackout
when he shot your husband?

Yes. But I don't believe
- that for a second. Objection.

The witness is not an expert on
- post-traumatic stress disorder.
Your Honor,

the defense has stated
that Sergeant Bly

and Sergeant Wells
were best friends.

Spent lots of time together.
Mrs. Wells

is qualified

to speak to her own observations

of the defendant's behavior

- and motives.
- I agree. Overruled.

But keep it within her purview, Counselor.

Mrs. Wells,

why don't you believe

the defendant's story?

I'm not saying Sergeant
Bly didn't have problems

when he got back from
his last deployment,

but I've been around him
plenty, and I've never seen him

black out or lose control.

My husband did
just as many tours as him,

and he never would've flipped
out and killed somebody.

Objection--
inflammatory and irrelevant.

Sergeant Wells'
mental health has absolutely

no bearing on this case.

We have gone
a little out of bounds.

The jury will disregard

the witness's
last statement.

In the weeks leading
up to your husband's death,

did you have any reason
to believe that he

and Sergeant Bly were not
on friendly terms?

Yes.

Things had been tense
between them.

Ever since Nathan got back

from his last tour.

And a few nights before

Nathan was killed...

the two of them were arguing out
on our driveway.

- For ages.
- Did you hear what they were arguing about?

No, at least not
all of it, but...

at one point Carter...

Sergeant Bly...

got up in Nathan's face

and I heard him
yell that...

he would do whatever it took
to stop him.

Did you ask your husband
what they were fighting about?

He said it had to do

with Afghanistan.

But he couldn't talk about it.

As in, it involved some kind
of military secret?

That's how I understood it.

- Yes.
- Do you think that Sergeant Bly

killed your husband
to prevent him

from revealing something
that happened overseas?

Objection, Your Honor!

- This is gross speculation!
- Sustained.

The jury will disregard
A.D.A. Thomas's

conjecture.

Dial it back, Ms. Thomas.

No further questions,
Your Honor.

What happened
in Afghanistan?

Nothing.

I don't know
what she's talking about.

Then what were you
fighting about?

Sergeant?

He signed up for another tour.

I didn't think
- he should do it.
- Why not?

I remember the toll
my last tour had on me.

Nathan had a wife.

A son.

Had more at stake.

I was concerned about him.

Well, to the jury,

that concern...

looks like motive.

Hey, Vic,
how you doing?

I hope you don't mind.

They told me you were
on your way back from court,

and it was okay
for me to wait here.

Oh, what's going on?

Jason, I can't testify.

What are you talking about?

I had to ask permission
to testify,

which I assumed would be
pro forma.

I didn't know
the classification status

of Bly's deployments.

I'm sorry, what does that mean?

Some of the operations
that Bly took part in are

highly classified.
My superiors are

concerned that details
could leak if I testify,

so they have ordered me not to.

- Ignore them.
- I can't do that.

Yes, you can!

Or quit the Army.

So you don't have to take
these asinine orders.

The military is my life--
I know you don't get that.

Without your testimony,
Bly is doing 50 years.

You get that.

Right?

I'm gonna subpoena you

and Bly's records and I'm
gonna put it all out in public.

You can try. It won't work.

You brought me into this.

You put me on this mission.

- I know.
- And now you're saying

that the Army told you
to walk away?

I was wrong to assume
that I could help this soldier

just because I'm treating him.

I can't, Jason.

So you're telling Bly?

I already have.

He understands.

"He understands."

Hmm.

He understands
that his therapist

just hung him out to dry?

When you're a soldier,
you're a soldier first.

Well, congratulations, soldier.

You just left
one of your own behind.

You're selling stolen goods.

Show me the paperwork
that says someone else

owns this,
and they can have it back.

Until then...

I can't help you.

We will have the provenance
document shortly.

It would be in
your best interest

to pull the mask

from the auction in the interim.

No, it would be
in my best interest

to sell it and make a profit.

And risk losing a crucial piece
of the Guro people's

cultural historyforever.

No offense, but I get people

making claims on art
all the time.

- Hmm.
- If I held up every auction

without proof...

I'd be out of business.

Let's focus on the stolen mask.

I am prepared to file
a Writ of Replevin

to return this property
to its rightful owner.

What law firm
did you say you're from?

Trial Analysis Corporation.

Hmm. May I see your card?

There's no "esquire"
after you're name.

You're not even
a lawyer, are you?

I represent the interests...

Okay, look, I have

an auction in two days.

Unless I get clear provenance

before then, this piece

will be listed.

Have a nice day.

God, that man, I want to slap
the nice day right out of him.

You have a temper, too?

But you know
how to keep yours in check.

I shouldn't have
needled him like that.

He deserved it.

You'd think someone
who worked with art

would appreciate its
cultural significance.

Oh, well, you know,
most people don't appreciate

that spiritual connection
you spoke of.

But thanks for trying.

Oh, no, no, we're not done.

- We're not?
- Not by a long shot.

Look, I may not have
"esquire" after my name,

but I love a good fight.

Our whole case is PTSD.

If Taggart doesn't testify,
we have no case.

Sorry I'm late.
I had a thing before work.

So Taggert is still a no-go?

- Yeah.
- Do you think

the Army is muscling him
to cover up

something that went bad
over in Afghanistan?

I could do some digging.

See if there's anything to that. No.

Frankly,
I don't want to find out

that Bly had a motive
to cover up something

that happened
over there.

The only place
that leads is premeditation

and a murder conviction.

Okay, then what's our plan B?

Plan B is...

plan A-- PTSD.

We need to find
a new expert

who can get up there
and testify.

Let these jurors know
what it's like

to have
a dissociative experience.

But a new expert is not gonna
understand Bly's history.

Which is why it is more
important than ever that we find

somebody from Bly's past
who has witnessed

one of these PTSD events.

How's Danny coming
with all that?

I don't think
it's going well.

She hasn't even been
able to get on the base

to talk to Bly's
fellow soldiers.

Well, she needs to figure out
a way to talk to them off base.

Damn. You're all right.

Where'd you learn
to shoot like that?

My dad.

He was in the Army
and gone a lot.

When he was around,

I wanted to hang out with him.

If that meant learning
how to shoot a gun,

that's what I did.

You ever think
of joining?

Thought about it.

My dad really struggled
when he got back.

PTSD, you know.

It happens.

I read it just happened over
at Fort Dryer.

One soldier shot another
off base.

They're saying
it's PTSD-related.

You know either of those guys?

Yeah, I knew both of them.

The, um, the shooter, was it
Sergeant Bly, I think?

You really think
- he had PTSD?
- Yeah.

He seemed pretty messed up
since his last deployment.

You ever see him have,
like, an episode or anything?

What are you asking
about Bly for?

Just making conversation.

You a cop or something?

- What?
- You know Bly's trial's going on right now.

You working for him?

For Bly?

Working for him...?

We got nothing
to say to you, lady.

Come on.

Get her out of here.

Sorry, ma'am,
but you're gonna have to leave.

I'm just trying
to get some range time in.

You're upsetting my customers.

I'm just making
friendly conversation.

This way.

Do you happen
to know Sergeant Bly?

Friendly conversation,my ass.

Listen, the guy's on trial
for his life.

I work for his defense team.

The Army won't let me on base
to talk to anyone, so...

Anyone on base talks about
Bly, they'll catch hell.

Yeah, but you're
not from base.

Not anymore.

Retired.

Right, so no one can
give you hell anymore.

Bly liked to come here.

We talked sometimes.

Things weren't so easy for me
when I came home, either.

Did he ever talk to you
about his PTSD?

Some. Yeah.

He had it pretty rough.

Bly said that he suffered
from, um, blackouts.

Did you ever see
anything like that?

Last fall a group of us
got together in the park

for a birthday; some kids

were playing
with bang snaps.

One of them threw a handful,

sounded like...

automatic weapon fire and...

Bly totally lost it.

Would you be willing
to testify to that?

Don't need to.

I can show you.

Take cover!

Did he just tackle a little boy?

Nearly broke the kid's arm.

Sergeant Bly, do
you have an explanation

for what we just
saw in that video?

Ever since
my second tour of duty,

I've suffered from severe PTSD.

I won't sleep for days.

If I do...

I get night terrors.

And I get bad panic attacks sometimes.

If I get triggered,

like with the fireworks
in that video,

I black out completely.

My psychiatrist says
the official term

is a dissociative event.

And is that what happened
the night that you shot

Sergeant Wells?

Did you have
a dissociative event?

Yes, sir.

My best guess is...

I was triggered
by a car backfiring.

Sergeant Bly, did you have any

- animus toward Sergeant Wells?
- I think you should see this.

- Any reason to want him dead?
- No.

He was my friend.

Trish Wells
testified earlier that...

that you and her husband
were fighting

just days before he died.

- Isn't that correct?
- We were arguing.

But we're friends.

Sometimes friends argue.

Look...

Nathan was more than a friend.

He was like a brother to me.

I had absolutely
no desire to kill him.

Thank you, Sergeant Bly.

No further questions,
Your Honor.

We are winning
some hearts and minds, Bull.

Let's see how well
Sergeant Bly holds up

on cross
before we pop the champagne.

Sergeant Bly,
have you ever stayed

at the Stone Valley Motel?
Objection.

Relevance?
Your Honor,

I assure you
this is relevant.

It'll take me just
a moment to get there.

Sergeant Bly,
you will answer the question.

I'm not sure.

I don't recall every...

- motel I've ever stayed in.
- Where is this going?

- I don't know.
- Let me see if I can jog your memory.

An article was published
on BANG Online today

stating that you were
a guest at Stone Valley Motel

on September 5 of this year.

Did you stay the night
at the motel?

Yeah.

Uh, the court didn't hear you,

Sergeant Bly.

Yes. I was there.

Did a woman

spend the night
in your room with you?

Yes.

Who was that woman?

Trish Wells.

You had an affair
with Trish Wells,

the wife of Sergeant Wells?

The man you claim

was like a brother to you?

I should've never let it happen.

When I came back
from my last tour,

I was having
a hard time.

I just needed someone
to talk to.

Nathan was overseas.

Trish and I were there
for each other.

Is that why

you killed Sergeant Wells,
so you could have his wife

for yourself?
Objection.

Inflammatory, Your Honor.

Overruled. Sergeant Bly will

answer the question.

No. We ended things months ago.

The shooting had
nothing to do with Trish.

Don't bring her into this.

Well, I didn't bring her
into this, Sergeant.

You did.

No further questions,
Your Honor.

Ask for a recess.
Your Honor?

The defense requests
a short recess

before we redirect.

No, no, no, he admitted it
on the stand.

All of it now. The whole thing.
Anna!

- I need to talk to you.
- Yeah.

Now!

You'll have my copy by 4:00.

Thanks, bye.

That was my editor, Dad.

I don't interrupt you
when you're in court.

You blindsided me in there.

That article
you wrote

blew up our whole defense.

You could've given me
a heads-up.

You didn't want me asking you
for favors,

but I'm supposed to tip you off
about a scoop?

It's called
professional courtesy, Anna.

Church and state, remember?

You're just mad that I found
something that your team didn't.

When you didn't even think
I could handle this case.

I never said that.

You didn't have to.

Look, I didn't mean
to blow up your case.

I found a lead
and I followed it.

All right, okay.

You want to be a professional?

I'm gonna treat you
like one.

I'm adding you
to our witness list.

What? Why?

Wait, no,
if I'm on the witness list,

I-I'll be under a gag order.
I can't write my story!

Yeah, that's right.

Welcome to the big leagues.

Well, I think it would've
been better for us to know

that you were having an affair
with Sergeant Wells' wife

before we told the jury
you guys were best friends.

I should've told you.

I was ashamed.

Disgusted in myself.

And I didn't want,
I didn't want Trish's son

to find out after he'd already
lost his father.

Did Sergeant Wells find out?

Is that why you guys
- were fighting?
- No.

He didn't know
about me and Trish.

We were fighting
about Nathan doing another tour,

- like I told you.
- Are you sure that's it?

'Cause I can't defend you

if you don't tell me everything.

You don't have to defend me.

I just want this to end.

Well, the trial's almost over,

and we have to get it right.

We're talking
about the rest of your life.

Trish has been through
too much pain.

I'm not dragging her
through more.

- What do you mean?
- I'm done.

That's it.

I'm pleading guilty.

You need to sit down and we
need to talk this through.

Take me back
to the base.

Sergeant!

- Danny.
- You don't have to say it.

Chunk's kid totally
smoked me on that affair.

And she's barely off
her college newspaper.

Well, that is not
what I was gonna say.

But... yeah,

I did not anticipate
the affair, either.

So that is on me,
but now...

Sergeant Bly...

wants to plead guilty.

I say let him.

If he killed his friend
to keep banging his wife,

he should go to jail.

If Bly killed Wells

so he could be with Trish,
why confess to the murder?

Why not have a better plan?

Well, murderers aren't
always that smart.

Or logical.

Well, that's true.

I don't understand
Bly's sudden desire

to plead guilty.

I mean, he says
he doesn't want to put Trish

through any more pain.

The cat's already out
of the bag about the affair.

What more pain
is there?

Maybe he's hiding
something else.

I want to know
what Bly and Wells were really

fighting about in the driveway.

Maybe one of the neighbors
overheard them?

I'll check it out.

Thank you.

Kind of late
to be caffeinating.

Well, I was just doing
a little research.

Trying to figure out a way

to stop that auction
I told you about.

Oh, yeah. For the handsome

French art dealer who

saves the world's

cultural heritage
in his free time.

- What?
- Just saying.

I get it. Henri's a little...

ooh-la-la.

Yeah. I may have a little crush.

You should ask him out.

I don't know.

Look, his gallery's
my happy place.

It's where I go
to escape sometimes.

If I ask him out...

it doesn't work out,
then I can't go back there.

Or maybe it does work out

and you can go to his gallery
all the time.

Or it doesn't work out and you
find a new gallery.

I mean, this is New York City,
after all.

Right now I just want

another shot
at that smug auctioneer.

I can't let that guy win.

Good morning.

Welcome back.

You pass the bar since
the last time we spoke?

I'd like to show you something.

A notice
from the Cultural Ministry

of the Ivory Coast showing
that the Guro tribal mask

is in fact a stolen artifact.

That's not proof of provenance.

I told you,
until I get

the provenance, I'm not removing

the piece from auction.

Oh, sorry,
I wasn't being clear.

This notice isn't for you.

I'm sending it
to all of the buyers

registered to attend
today's auction.

Good luck with that.

My client list is confidential.

- She has the list.
- Yeah.

I bet.

Right next
to your fake law degree.

It's true, I'm not a lawyer.

But I am very resourceful.

Yeah.

Stolen antiquities
make buyers nervous.

Fewer buyers means
lower bids on...

everything.

It's your choice,
Mr. Ratliff.

You can remove the mask
from the auction,

or I can hit send.

Wait.

- Morning.
- You got something?

I'm not sure. I couldn't
find any neighbors

who saw the fight, but
there's a guy who lives

across the street
that let me go through

his security camera footage.

- Did it get the fight?
- Yeah.

But there was no audio,
so not very helpful, but...

there was
something else.

Two weeks before Wells died,
the camera caught this.

That's Bly, pulling Wells
out of his garage.

- He's giving him CPR.
- Yep.

Why would you try
and save your friend's life,

only to kill him
two weeks later?

Get me the M.E.'s report
on Wells.

Hey, Vic.

Jason.

I was gonna call, but...

I thought maybe
you wouldn't answer it.

I need your help.

Nothing's changed,
I can't testify.

I don't want you to.

Bly lied.

And we both missed it.

What are you talking about?

You said
the Army stigmatizes soldiers

who seek treatment for PTSD?

Not officially, but yes.

I suspect there are a lot
of soldiers who don't report

their PTSD even
if they have symptoms.

More than I'd like
to think about.

Where are you going with this?

I took another look
at Wells' M.E. report.

His organs--
heart, liver,

lung-- they were all cherry red.

Which is consistent with
exposure to high levels

of carbon monoxide. Say,
if you wanted to kill yourself

in your garage
with car exhaust.

Wells didn't die
from carbon monoxide poisoning.

No, he did not.

But he also didn't have any
defensive wounds on his body.

Now how would
Sergeant Bly

have been able to take a gun
away from a trained soldier

without leaving any marks?

What do you need my help with?

We need to get Bly
to tell us the truth

about what really happened
that night.

I'm here.

Not that I had a choice.

What's this about?

Well, I wanted to...

talk to you about this
guilty plea you want

to file-- I've got
some problems with it.

Yeah, like what?

I don't believe
you're guilty, for one.

I don't care.

If you won't do it,

I'll get another lawyer... Sergeant?

What do you hear?

Listen.

What is that, birds?

Squirrels? Do you hear any cars?

I sure don't.

No, I don't
hear any cars

because there are
no cars anywhere near here.

So how do you get

triggered by a backfiring car?

Doesn't matter.

It matters if there
was no car backfiring.

It matters if Wells had
no defensive wounds.

Your story's starting
to fall apart, Sergeant.

Yeah, I know what happened!

Wells also had
PTSD, didn't he?

He was suffering badly
and you knew it?

That's why he tried
to kill himself

in the garage
that night.

And we know

that you saved him.

Carter.

You did everything
you could for Wells.

You could not have
done anything more.

But you can help
your brothers and sisters.

The ones who are suffering
just like Wells did

and are afraid to say anything.

The truth is a powerful thing, Sergeant.

Tell the truth about Wells.

Talk about
what happens

if you don't get treatment.

I didn't help Nathan.

I couldn't.

He was struggling...

so much.

Just listen to
- what I'm saying.
- I won't do it.

I'll walk you in myself.

- No!
- Nathan, you need help.

What I need is to get the hell
out of here and redeploy.

- Why do you want to go back?
- It's easier over there.

It feels, uh...

- normal.
- Another tour's

only gonna make
things worse.

Things can't get any worse!

I got to tell Trish.

- No.
- About you needing help, about the garage.

- Don't, man.
- She needs to know.

She deserves to know.

Come on.

Come on, I can't have

my wife knowing about this.

Thinking I'm weak.

Thinking I'm...

I'm some problem.

I don't want to talk
about this anymore.

Hey, uh...

Let's just hang.

Yeah?

Let's just hang.

- All right.
- All right.

Want to go to the truck
and grab some more beers?

Yeah, sure.

Nathan!

Nathan was a hero.

I didn't want his suicide

to take away from that.

To tarnish his memory for Trish.

For his son.

So you confessed to a murder

that didn't occur?

Nathan was my best friend
and I betrayed him.

He didn't know.

But I knew.

And my life...

I don't have much
to be proud of.

Nothing to look forward to.

Especially now
that Nathan's not here

anymore.

This was just, um...

I was just trying
to make things right.

No further questions,
Your Honor.

Has the jury reached a verdict?

We have,
Your Honor.

In The State of New York
v. Sergeant Carter Bly,

we the jury find
the defendant...

...not guilty.

My thanks

to the jury for their service.

This court is adjourned.

Thank you.

It's my pleasure.

Excuse me.

Congratulations,
Sergeant.

And you, too, Jason.

Well, you guys didn't make it
easy, but we got there.

Why did you not
tell me?

I should have known.

I didn't know how to.

No, don't-don't say that.

How did I not know

he was so broken?

How did I not...?

Anna, hold up, hey.

Oh, am I allowed to speak now?

Has the gag
order lifted?

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have
put you on the witness list.

That was petty.

Yeah. It was.

I was annoyed.

You showed up your old man.

And, yeah, maybe you were right,
maybe I wasn't ready

to see you do your thing.

Clearly I was wrong,
and that's on me.

So...

can I make it up to you?

Can I buy you something to eat?

I get to choose the restaurant?

Of course.

Okay.

So...

have you given any thought
to maybe covering sports?

'Cause I don't want to do this
kind of thing any time soon.

I hate sports.

But you feel free to cover
all the boring cases.

That way I won't feel
tempted to write about them.

We both know
that's not gonna happen.

Come on.

Hey... you have a visitor.

- I hope I'm not disturbing you.
- No...

Of course not. Come in.

Well, um...
it was nice to meet you.

And you.

Uh, to what do I owe
- the pleasure?
- Um...

I-I brought you something

as a thank-you.

- Oh.
- The provenance documents finally arrived.

And the mask is on its way back
to the Ivory Coast.

That is wonderful news.

Oh.

It's beautiful.

I don't recognize it
from your gallery.

No, no, no,
it's not from my gallery.

It's, um, this is, uh, from me.

You paint?

- I had no idea.
- We mustn't reveal

all our secrets at once.

- Henri?
- Hmm?

Would you like to go
to dinner with me sometime?

To share more secrets?

I might need
a bit of wine before that.

Word came down today.

Bly's getting an Other
Than Honorable discharge.

For lying.

That sounds a bit harsh.

I understand why
it seems that way.

And I understand
why they did it.

Really?

There's a code.

You follow it or leave.
That's the deal.

You know, Vic,
sometimes I think you give a...

little bit too much
to this thing.

I get that.

But sometimes the people
inside this thing

think the people outside
don't give enough.

Ah, point taken.

Two worlds.
