All language subtitles for Law and Order Toronto Criminal Intent S01E07 1080p x265-ELiTE eng

In Toronto's
war on crime,

the worst offenders are pursued
by the detectives

of the specialized criminal
investigations unit.

These are their stories.

These things take time.

Between your agents,
our lawyers,

the personnel, screenings...

We understand you gotta
do what you gotta do.

We here at Sierra like to call
this our Come-to-Jesus meeting.

Speak now or forever
hold your peace.

We are just making
a radio show.

A radio show that tripled
its listeners last year alone.

Janet, you're head
of HR over there.

Anything I should be aware of?

No, nothing at all.

No complaints, no concerns.

This entire team
has been incredible.

It's the Roman Rush Show.

Our next guest is a soulful,
once-in-a-generation talent,

whose music should already
be on your playlist,

but likely isn't.

But all that is about
to change tonight.

Clara Snow, welcome to the show.

What an introduction, Roman.

I hardly know what to say.

I know what you should say,

and you goddamn know
what you should say.

I want to start with
a song I wrote not too long ago.

Rachel?

♪ I know you made a mess

Rachel! Open the door
right now!

I'm not letting you
drag me down anymore!

♪ I'm sorry we're weaker...

You can't hide in
there forever, Rachel!

I will wait here all night,
do you understand me?!

- Alright!
- Yeah, alright!

Just leave me alone!

Look what you're doing!

We're gonna lose
everything because of you!

Keep it down in
there, or I'm calling the cops!

♪ Hopeless optimist

♪ Or na ïve little kid

♪ I hate that that's the thing
they still believe ♪

♪ But I will try

♪ To teach my mind

♪ To say goodbye

♪ In time

You're remarkable.
I'm speechless.

Which is not ideal for radio.

Clara Snow. What a voice.
What a talent.

You're welcome, Toronto.

- Wow. Lucky girl.
- That was amazing.

Yeah.
He just made her career.

...back after
this commercial break.

You know...

It's not paranoia if they're
actually out to get you, right?

Thank you for...

Reaching out.

Sorry about this, folks,

but you're going to need some
heat over the next six hours.

We don't want you freezing
to death on us.

Alrighty, folks!
Next stop, Montreal!

Home of the world's best bagels.

Okay, people,
whose bag is this?

Come on, folks, I can't load
an unclaimed bag.

Alright. What the hell
is in this thing?

Help!

The bus broke down, and we had
to switch buses,

and it was the only
unclaimed bag.

When you arrived at the depot,

the suitcase was
already on the bus?

Wish I could help, Detective
Graff, but I didn't see

who loaded the bag.

Ah, it's not your fault.

We'll check on the security
cameras back at the depot.

I'm warning you,
they are covered in pigeon crap.

We've been talking to management
about it, but so far,

they haven't done
anything about it.

Well, thank you for your help.

47 passengers on that bus,
and no one saw a thing.

Apparently, the cameras down
at the bus depot

are out of play too,
covered in pigeon crap.

Great.

Look at these wheels,
they're pristine.

Apart from a little
gravel and grass.

No scuffs on the leather.
This bag's new, brand new.

Detective, could you call
around to see if any luggage

or department stores
sold a Wanderluxe 39-inch

Spinner Trunk, or the whole set,
in the past week?

Sure.

Start with stores
close to the bus station.

- Of course, Detective Bateman.
- Thank you.

Maybe we'll get lucky and
the killer bought it in person.

Yeah.

I saw the photos.

Her body was twisted up
in that suitcase.

Just stuffed in there
like garbage.

Okay, Melody,
we can save the editorial.

Ah, she's got a point,
Da Silva.

There's not a lot of respect
happening here.

If the body's tossed
away like trash,

it says a lot about a suspect.

- No defensive wounds?
- No.

And no sign
of sexual assault.

The victim died by
manual strangulation.

Petechial hemorrhaging,
swollen tongue,

blood in the esophagus,
and we have these.

Look at these bruises.

Could it be an argument
that escalated?

I don't think so. The attacker
was facing the victim,

probably caught her off guard.

Someone she knew.

We'll get her fingernails and
let you know if there's any DNA

hits, but there's also this.

Ante-mortem bruising
on both wrists, both ankles,

and at the corners
of her mouth.

Based on colouring,
I'd say two weeks old.

We think she's been bound
and gagged.

Not last night, but sometime
in the last few weeks.

Sternal fracture,
four months old.

So, pattern of domestic abuse
over weeks or months.

Abduction, captivity.

Or BDSM sex that went too far?

If that's it, someone
definitely forgot the safe word.

Is that cocaine?

I tested it, and yes,

which is why I'm running
the tox screen again.

It came back negative
for cocaine,

but positive for
Lorazepam and azithromycin.

Stimulants, benzos,
and antibiotics.

That's quite the cocktail.

Ma'am? The victim's
prints came back.

Rachel Flowers, 31.
Address in Kensington Market.

- What's she in the system for?
- Shoplifting.

Once, when she was 18.
Not exactly a menace to society.

If she'd been
working the streets

or trading sex for drugs, we'd
have her for more than that.

Any leads from the suitcase?

No. Forensics couldn't
pull any prints.

And stores don't even
stock that set anymore.

You have to order it online.

So, the killer wore gloves,
dumped her body

at the bus depot, and hoped
that she wouldn't be found

until Montreal.

And if they didn't have
to switch buses,

that bag would be long gone.

In a way, the luggage
of it all makes sense.

Inconspicuous, easy to obtain,
and easy to transport.

We're looking
for a violent romantic partner

who just happened to have a
brand new 1,500-dollar suitcase

lying around, and didn't think
twice about using it

to dispose of a body.

So, we've got to find
this creep fast.

Okay, we just have
a couple more things

to run by you, Benji.

So, last night, 7:27 PM,

your neighbour called in
a noise complaint,

citing a blasting radio
and a screaming match.

Now, Detective Graff thought it
must've been a lover's quarrel,

but you said...

"No, Rachel and I
were just roommates."

That's right. There was
nothing romantic between us.

Well, that's funny.

These two cushions here, Benji,
are completely compressed,

whereas this one
is hard as a rock.

You and Rachel sat
awfully close to each other

for "just roommates."

When we first moved in, we had
a thing, and it was brief.

But I realized we were
just better as friends.

Is that what
the fight was about?

No. When I first
answered Rachel's ad

to be her roommate...

She was, like, a lot of fun.

And then a few months ago,
she just fell apart.

She lost her job
for some reason,

she got all weird
and paranoid,

and then she spent her entire
savings on drugs.

Well, did she apply for E.I.?
I mean, how did she cover rent?

No. She didn't.
That's the whole problem.

You must have been angry.

Do you know how hard it is
to get an apartment in Toronto

on a carpenter's salary?

I mean, look, I wasn't gonna
get tossed out on my ass

because Rachel was going through
some, like, quarter-life crisis.

When you and Rachel
slept together,

did you engage in
any fetish acts?

Any bondage, any rough play?

I'm sorry, what?

No, never. That's not her.

That's not her
thing or my thing.

No offence, I mean, I haven't
hooked up with her in months,

and I don't know who
she's been seeing since then,

but I really doubt that it would
involve... any of that.

Well, you never really
know a person, right?

Benji, have you got a minute?

So, Rachel's a retro renegade.

I saw her records, DVDs,

but I don't see a turntable,
and I don't see a TV.

She must have
sold them for drugs.

Well, that would have been
recently. There's no dust.

Now, remind me,
you said in your statement

that you didn't come into
Rachel's room at all yesterday.

Now, you see, it doesn't matter
if you don't tell us.

The IDENT team will
be able to let us know.

Their DNA testing
is very precise.

Okay.

I was in here.

But I was just trying to get her
to come out and talk to me.

Come out of where?

What was Rachel
doing in her closet?

I don't know.
She said she was working.

Rachel Flowers goes out
for the evening,

and her former lover,
slash roommate,

pawned all of her stuff,

including some high-end
recording equipment?

She was months behind
on rent. He got desperate.

Gives him a decent
alibi, though.

It took quite him a few visits

to lug all this
down to the pawnshop.

He was haggling
with Pawn Pro Pete

until after midnight,
then crashed at a friend's.

Her tablet was wiped
when we got there.

Mark's working on it,
but it doesn't look good.

Judging from Benji's story
and the autopsy findings,

something happened
to this woman

three or four months ago
that set her off.

If Rachel had applied for E.I.
after she lost her job,

then she'd have the money
to get Benji off her back.

Maybe she didn't get E.I.

It is possible that
her claim was denied.

Maybe she was fired for cause.

Last place of employment,
CJYT Radio.

Honestly, it's almost
too much to process.

Does her family know?

Well, that's another
tragic story right there.

Her parents were killed in a car
wreck when she was a teenager.

But do you know if she
has siblings, Roman?

I don't.

I mean, we didn't spend any real
time together outside of work.

I mean, Jesus. That poor woman.

You know,
she was smart, talented...

Such a promising
career ahead of her.

Promising career,
and yet you fired her?

I didn't fire her.

I did. She was stealing
studio equipment.

And I assume it was to fund

an already problematic
cocaine habit.

What sort of gear
was she taking?

Soundboard. A couple of mics.
I don't know what else.

And you actually
caught her in the act?

Yeah. We wrapped,
and I ran out,

and I ran back up because
I forgot my phone,

and when I got here,
she was loading the gear

into a service elevator.

What did she say
when you confronted her?

I didn't confront her.

I called security.
I told them to check her bags.

I was upset.
I didn't trust myself

to deal with it
without getting angry.

Yet you let her leave
with the stolen equipment?

I mean, it was in her
apartment the night she died.

I knew firing
her for a misconduct

would make her
ineligible for E.I.

So I guess I thought of
the gear as a sort of a...

Severance package.

Martin, thank you
for your time.

- Ready?
- Yeah.

It's Paolo, is it?
And Gabby?

Yeah.

You guys heading out?

Yeah, we need a drink
after all this.

- Yeah, it's a terrible thing.
- Yeah.

Did you know Rachel well?
Were you close?

Not really, no.

She seemed cool... at first.

- At first?
- Yeah, it got kind of weird.

She would show up late,
leave early.

Cried a lot.

In the bathroom.

This isn't that kind of job.
You know what I mean?

You show up for work,
you give 110 percent every time.

What about you?
Were you and Rachel friends?

Rachel and I had drinks
a few times.

Sometimes, Martin likes
to take a bunch of us

out for drinks to wind down.

Uh... I liked her.

Like, a lot, you know?
I thought she was really smart.

But it's true,
she started to spin out.

Do you have any idea why?

I figured it had something
to do with a boyfriend,

maybe her love life.

It definitely wasn't
this job, though.

Like, she loved this place
more than anything.

- Thanks.
- Thanks.

Relationship drama,
gets fired, she spirals.

Still feels like we're missing
a piece of the puzzle.

Hmm...

Mark. You okay?

I managed to retrieve a video

that was saved in a secured
folder on Rachel's tablet.

It's from two weeks ago.

I love seeing you
like this.

Helpless. Begging for more.

It's disturbing.
But BDSM is not a crime.

Well, no, of course not.

I mean, consensual,
safe words, boundaries.

But you can see her clearly
hear her say no.

Roman's also lying.

I mean, he said, "I've never
spent any real time with her

outside of work."

So what's that? I guess that
doesn't count as real time?

Are you suggesting that Roman
Rush murdered Rachel Flowers?

We know that he tied her up
and gagged her two weeks ago.

It's consistent with
the bruising on her body.

It's a good lead,
but I am telling you now,

tread lightly with Roman Rush.

That man has a lot
of fancy friends.

And this video is
a legal can of worms,

so don't let him know
that you've opened it.

I assume he filmed it, but do
we know how Rachel got a copy?

We don't know yet.

Mark's still digging to see
if we can retrieve more files.

Well, just because someone's
abusive,

doesn't mean
they're a murderer.

But, if Rachel was threatening

to go public with
her allegations...

That would provide motive.

And we might have a case.

Deja, I know that I'm
the king of small talk,

but please, put me out of
my misery. Where are we at?

It's been a long time coming.

Months of negotiations...

...contracts, due diligence.
But we did it!

And it's all you. You!

Here's to our new, seven-year,

international multi-million
dollar satellite radio deal.

Roman, welcome to Sierra.

Mmm!

Power makes you thirsty!

Ah, and you are amazing.

Would you mind bringing
another glass to our friend

Paolo over there?

Even foot soldiers
deserve the spoils of war!

You are his producer, Martin.
No surprises, right?

No surprises.

Thanks for your time.

We just had a few
follow-up questions.

Of course,
anything I can do to help.

Last time we spoke to you,

you told us that you
and Rachel never spent...

"real time"
away from the office.

How would you define
"real time"?

I guess I meant that we
weren't friends, you know?

We weren't close, we didn't
confide in one other.

Did you sleep with her?

Yes. I did. Twice.

When?

First time was
three or four months ago,

then again a couple weeks ago.

Hmm. Right.

How would you characterize
the encounters?

Well, Detective,
they were pleasant.

Enjoyable. Casual.

The first time it happened, she
was still dating her roommate,

which I only found out about
after the fact.

So then I just left her alone.

Until a two weeks ago.

Yeah, but that was all her.

She showed up at my place,
she was a mess.

She was struggling with
an anxiety disorder.

Suicidal thoughts
after being let go.

I was sympathetic.

I just wanted to provide
a safe space for her.

Sure, sure.
Of course, yeah.

Ugh, I'm sorry, you know what?
I should... I should get this.

Excuse me a moment.

Ah, we're just trying
to rule things out, you know?

Narrow the playing field.

Is there any chance that
the sex got a bit rough?

And this is not an
accusation or a judgment.

I don't care what

consenting adults
do in the bedroom.

So, why would you ask that?

There were a few marks

on Rachel's body
from a few weeks ago.

Looked a little bit
to me like BDSM.

That's what she liked.

That's what she wanted.

I was surprised, but like you,
I don't judge.

- Hmm
- We were just having fun.

Right. Yeah, well,
I appreciate your candour.

Mm-hmm!

Oh, just one
more thing, though.

The night of Rachel's murder,

where you were you?

Well, not until I talk
to a lawyer first.

Hmm, of course.
Thank you for your time.

I thought you'd get more out
of him if I wasn't there.

Well, he's that kind of guy.

My favourite.
He admit to anything?

Rough sex, consensual,
her idea.

- Right.
- But he didn't lie properly.

What do you mean?

Well, he didn't lie
like a man who knew

that there was any possibility
of hard evidence against him.

There was no fear there at all.

It was like that was his truth.

His reality.

What about the night
Rachel died? Where was he?

He wouldn't tell me.
Suddenly brought up the L word.

Lawyer?

Well, whatever he's up to,

it's worth hiding
from the police.

Okay. Roommate says she left
the apartment at 9:15.

Now, Da Silva estimates
the time of death

was between 10 PM and 2 AM.

Roman Rush was live on air
with Clara Snow 'til 7:30.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

They film all the radio
shows for their socials.

Why isn't anything
just itself anymore?

I mean, radio's gotta be video,

and video's gotta be a blog,
a blog's gotta be a podcast--

Security log has Romah Rush
signing out of the CJYT building

at 8:04 PM.

A bunch of them did.

Gabby, Paolo, Martin,
and the guest, Clara Snow.

But according to his condo's
security cameras,

he didn't come home
'til six the next morning.

Okay.

Gabby said Martin
sometimes takes them

all out for drinks
after the show.

Maybe they went out together.
- Well, let's ask him.

He's Roman's producer,
no doubt his babysitter.

He's gotta know the guy
better than anyone.

Yeah.

You and Roman,
you're on a pretty good run.

Yeah, it's been incredible.

It's a great show, we've been
killing it in the ratings.

It's... kind of life-changing.

I'd say career-changing
as well.

The Morning Buzz with Josie,
The Sunday Giggle,

and the clunker in the crown,

Ray Gun Radio
with Riley Richfield.

I do like an alliteration,
I do, but that one...

Yeah, they can't
all be winners.

I guess what I'm wondering is

why Roman chose
you as his producer.

Three failed shows
in four years.

I'm an excellent producer.

And those were all good shows,

they just lacked
one key ingredient.

- Intelligence?
- A great host.

Someone who exudes
empathy, magnetism.

Someone special. Lightning
in a bottle is hard to find.

The night of Clara Snow's
appearance on the show,

did you take the gang
out for drinks?

No, I think some
of the staff went out,

but I certainly didn't,
I was bagged.

- What about Roman?
- No, no. He was exhausted too.

He took our guest
to Queens Quay to get her a cab.

But... Yeah, I think I didn't
see him after that.

Sorry, I don't really get
a lot of visitors around here.

I'm all scattered.

I'm embarrassed to say,
I... I don't know your music.

Oh, don't be.
No one did until now.

Ten years of hard work
and nothing.

But 30 minutes on
the Roman Rush show,

and I'm signed the next day.
It's bizarre.

Do you know Roman well?

Uh, he saw me perform
at a folk concert in July.

He's been championing
my music ever since.

Do you know a woman
by the name of Rachel Flowers?

Why, did you... talk to her?

You haven't heard?

Heard what?

She was murdered two days ago.

I assumed you'd
heard it on the news.

Clara, are you alright?

Yeah. I-I just...

I don't really do the news
while I'm writing, you know?

It kind of messes
with my head, so I just...

I stay off social,
I don't do emails,

I just, you know...
I-I write.

So I take it
you did know Rachel.

Um...

Yeah, she reached out to me
for an interview last week.

We talked about my music.

Did you have any
further contact?

Right before I went
on Roman's show,

she left me another message.

She said we needed
to talk about Roman.

She seemed really upset.

She said it was urgent.

And I...

Never called her back.

What did she want
to talk about?

Well...

She knew that I...

She knew that we...

Um...

Clara, it's okay.

She had seen

an intimate video

of Roman and I together.

We were at Roman's apartment,
about ten days ago.

I didn't even know
that I was being recorded, okay?

And I don't know how
she saw that, but that...

That was none of her business.

Clara, when was the last
time you were with Roman?

Two nights ago.

After I went on his show.

He wanted to see my studio.

So we came back here
together in a cab.

He stayed the night.

He left around 5:30,

said he had to
get ready for work.

So on the night
of Rachel's murder,

you and Roman were
together from the start

of the show 'til 5:30 AM.

Roman didn't kill
Rachel Flowers,

because he had Clara Snow
tied up all night,

judging by the bruises
on her wrists.

No wonder he didn't want
to tell you where he was.

Look, even if Clara says

their relationship
was consensual,

we can still go after him
on the voyeurism charge

for planting the camera.

We could even make a case that
recording her

without her knowledge
constitutes sexual assault.

I mean, there's legal
precedent for that.

I don't think Roman was
recording Clara ten days ago.

No, Mark found that video
on Rachel's own tablet,

and she was staring
directly into the camera.

My guess is that she
planted the camera

and was sending the feed back
to her own tablet.

Which would explain
how she saw the footage

of Clara a few days later.

So what, Roman just walks?

No.

Two weeks before
Rachel was killed,

we think she talked her way
back into Roman's bedroom

to plant a camera
before having sex with him.

She put herself in danger
to capture the abuse on camera,

and inadvertently
captured the assault

of another woman ten days ago.

Ah-ah. Clara Snow's not
saying it was assault.

Well, not yet.
But come on, Theo,

you know how these cases go.
They gain momentum.

First one woman comes forward,
and then another, and--

- I hate to admit it...
- Then don't.

There's no case.

If Rachel Flowers coerced
a man into having sex with her

for the purpose of
planting a hidden camera,

she entrapped him.

There's possibly
a side order of blackmail.

And the footage is completely
inadmissible in court.

Last I heard,
you're investigating a murder.

A murder Roman Rush
couldn't have committed.

Frankie.

I believe you.

And once you catch Rachel's
killer,

we can pull in Sex Crimes,
and go after Roman.

How?

Well, if he preyed
on multiple women

who came into his workplace,
somebody had to know.

We just need to find out who.

Rachel Flowers had
an appointment with you

just a few days
before she was fired.

Rachel was having issues.

Her coworkers were
reporting erratic behaviour.

I called her in to discuss
her performance.

Interesting. Your assistant
said it was Rachel

who made the appointment,
not you.

Okay. If that's what Katie
said, then that's what happened.

Look, Rachel wasn't
making much sense.

I suspected there were...
substances involved.

Did she mention Roman Rush
when you spoke?

She did, but there
was nothing tangible.

Certainly nothing
worth following up on.

The woman was barely coherent.

Okay.

Uh, one more thing.

Can you tell us why
you're leaving this job?

I'm moving to Sierra Satellite
with the Roman Rush show.

They're bringing over
the whole team.

It's a multi-million
dollar deal.

They're announcing it next week.

Congratulations.

I smell a cover-up.

And millions of dollars
worth of reasons

for anyone involved with Roman

to protect him
from a murder charge.

Okay, so who do we think
would actually kill

to protect him, or his show?

Janet from HR,

his producer, maybe,
his assistants?

His mother. Do we have
his mother on the board?

Maybe we should park
the "who" for a second

and talk about the "why now?"

If Roman and his enablers

got Rachel fired
three months ago,

then she wasn't a threat.

So why kill her now?

Well, someone must've leaked

that she was planning
on outing him.

But who would Rachel tell?

She didn't tell her roommate,

and she didn't tell any of
her friends, that we know of.

The only person that
we know she talked to

in the last two weeks,

the only person
she felt might understand?

Clara Snow.

Clara, I wanted to talk to you
about the video that Rachel saw.

I believe she set up that camera

to get proof
that Roman is abusive,

and you became
part of that proof.

I saw the bruises
on your wrists.

And I just want to make
sure you understand

that just because you
consented to sex with Roman,

does not mean he gets
to cause you physical harm.

Of course I didn't consent...

to what he did.

But that doesn't matter.

They're gonna pull up
every flirty text

that I sent to him
over the past few months.

Trot out every sexual
partner I've ever had.

They're gonna paint me

as a past-her-prime folk singer

who slept her way
to a record deal.

Rachel understood.

She'd been through it.

You know, she filed
a sexual assault claim with HR,

requested to be transferred.

Nothing happened.

She couldn't even get that woman
on the phone ever again.

So you and Rachel
did talk about this.

That interview that
I did with Rachel,

it wasn't about my music.

Rachel had decided

that she was going
to use her voice.

She was going to
create an exposé

to bring down Roman Rush.

So, I told Rachel my story,

and she told me hers.

But I wasn't ready
to go public yet.

And so, when we were done,

she gave me
the recorder and she said,

"When you are ready,
we're gonna play the tape."

And then I never
called her back.

And what's worse...

I went on his show.

And then afterwards,

I slept with him again.

You wouldn't be the first.

I could've helped Rachel

when she was still alive.

And I didn't.

So, please, just take this now,

for whatever good it can do.

Clara.

I believe that Rachel
was killed

to stop her from outing
Roman as a predator.

But the only person

I know she spoke to
about this was you.

Wait, so you...
You're saying that her...

Her death, that's was my fault?

No, of course not.

Clara, what I'm asking is...

Did you tell anyone else
what Rachel was planning?

No, no. I...

Wait.

When I was in my green room,
before I went on air,

I listened to
Rachel's voicemail.

She said that she
wanted to speak out,

that she understood my decision,

but she couldn't wait anymore.

And then Roman's
producer walked in.

Martin?

I think it was on speaker.

Clara,

with your help,

I think we can make sure
this never happens again.

What's going on?

Clara Snow came
to talk to us yesterday.

About you, Roman.

Sensitive stuff. Intimate stuff.

She wants to press charges.

That's impossible.
Why would she do that?

After everything,

I mean, I plucked her
from complete obscurity.

I featured her on my show,
she signed a record deal.

We celebrated together.

This doesn't make any sense.

- Is it true?
- No, it's not goddamn true.

Then don't worry about it.

It'll go away.
These things always do.

I opened every door for her,
I made her a household name!

How dare she?
Goddamned bitch!

Stop! Enough!

We're done!

We are not done.
We're not done!

Roman, it's over!
It's time to tell the truth!

Oh, you want
to tell the truth?

You disloyal bastard.

Well, good news, Paolo!

Looks like there's
a job opening!

You want to be my new
executive producer?

Police, stay down.

You okay?
- Yeah.

- Yeah?
- Yeah, I'm okay. It worked.

Okay, who do we got here?

Paolo Marcotti, you're under
arrest for the attempted murder,

and the murder
of Rachel Flowers.

You texted Rachel Flowers
on the night of her murder,

said you were gonna come clean
with what you know.

You knew exactly what
to say to draw her out,

and then you strangled her,
shoved cocaine up her nose,

and stuffed her lifeless body
into a Spinner Trunk.

Did Roman put you up to it?

Did Martin?

Come on, Paolo, if they did,
you should tell us.

It will help you.

"On the advice of my counsel,

I am exercising
my right to silence."

Wow. Okay. That's a first.

Okay, what about Clara?

Who told you to make
that problem go away?

I mean, we know Roman's
your hero.

You'd do anything for him,
110 percent, just like you said.

Yeah. You'd go to war
for that man.

And you're
a good soldier, Paolo,

but you're not the general.

You don't get to
make the decisions.

Three hours ago,
we called Roman.

Told him you'd been arrested.

He didn't seem to care.

He's not coming down
to check on you.

And he's not sending
his fancy lawyers to save you.

He's gonna let you rot.

And I'm okay with that.

Time for Plan B.
Let's go rattle some cages.

Happy Anniversary.

Amethyst!

You Googled Lily's birthstone?

What's wrong?
You hate it.

No, no, I love it, I love it.

I'm just a bit confused. I...

I thought I saw you ordering

that Wanderluxe
luggage set online.

You and me, taking a trip.

Now that Lily's old enough
to stay with my mom...

Uh, babe, that luggage
was for Roman

as a thank you
gift for the Sierra deal,

for bringing me along.

He kind of changed
our life, right?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Who's calling the landline?

Be right back.

- Hey!
- Yeah, I got your messages.

Oh, guys, I'm sorry.
This has been a lot.

Thank you.

Yeah, we heard about
your move to Sierra,

and this is really
not what you need right now.

Paolo Marcotti is obviously
a very troubled soul.

Yes, it's terrible, you know?
For everyone.

We're gonna make it work.
We're gonna open my new show

with a mental health
and wellness week.

Marianne Williamson,
Demi Lovato, if I can get her.

Oh, that's splendid.

Making lemons out
of lemonade, right?

Lemonade out of lemons,
but yeah, sure.

Right. That's why
I need a producer.

I need somebody
telling me what to say.

He doesn't tell me
what to say.

No, right. Sorry.

Nobody tells you what to say,
you're lightning in a bottle.

Martin, have you got a minute?

You might want to shut the door.

So Paolo

confessed to the whole thing?

Said he killed Rachel
and went after Clara

to stop them both
from reporting Roman.

If I had known
that Paolo was that unhinged...

Jesus...

I don't even know what to do.

The Sierra deal, it's coming,
and it's...

...taking up a lot of time.

How did you even
know about that?

Janet Lawrence in HR.

She told us about Sierra

and she intimated that Rachel
had filed a complaint.

Now, I know you're all getting
paid a lot to right now

to stay quiet,
but I gotta tell you,

Janet's a bit of a leaky boat.

Martin said you hired
Paolo personally.

Plucked him from a stack
of 5,000 applicants.

I mean, he had no education

or experience in radio
producing, is that right?

He had talent and drive.

I don't give my employees
psychiatric evaluations,

though clearly, I should.

Next time, right?

You know, we did find the Reddit
thread he wrote you on.

His user name was @Paulie-M.

"Your voice gives me hope."

"I'm your loyal soldier
to the end."

It's a bit intense.

Okay, sure, I knew Paolo
was a fan when I hired him.

But so what? All that proves

is that I like having
my ego stroked.

Who doesn't?

Is your... ego

what made you take Rachel
back into your bed

after she went to HR about you?

I suppose.

But it was a trick.

She didn't want
to sleep with you.

She wanted to plant
a camera in your bedroom.

- She did what?
- She outsmarted you, Roman.

Anything else,
Detective Graff?

Yes, as a matter of fact.

I wanted to talk
to you about luggage.

We're police, right?

We went to the company and asked
for all online activity

in the last two months,
and they were happy to oblige.

You ordered a whole set.

And frankly,
I was shocked by the price.

I mean, luggage, who knew?

It... It was a gift.
For Roman.

Oh. Oh, right.

So, we'll find the rest of it
in his loft tonight?

I have no idea
what you'll find.

Except proof of him assaulting
multiple young women, no doubt.

Even if you find a camera
in my place,

I didn't put it there,
and I didn't videotape anyone.

I saw the tape.

You know, I actually
found it kind of sad.

Seems like the only way
you can perform in the bedroom

is by tying women up,
and choking them,

and beating them.

I mean, you're
not dominating them,

you're levelling
the playing field.

You're diminishing them
so you can feel strong,

and virile, and relevant.

You know, it's funny.

The public can forgive a man
with a healthy sexual appetite

who happens to take
things too far,

but they will never,
ever respect a man who's weak.

Incapable.

Flaccid.

You know, you might do better
to confess to murder.

If you knew what he was doing,
why didn't you come forward?

You could've helped Rachel

instead of telling her she
could borrow that equipment,

then calling security to get
her fired for stealing it.

I'm not proud of that,
but she was volatile.

She was messed up.

I had no idea what to believe.

Roman needed her out,
and you made it so,

'cause you're a great producer.

I heard rumours about him.

But I didn't know for sure

who he was, what he was.

But now I know.

He needs to be locked up.
- Just him?

I'm gonna make you a deal.

I'll tell you everything,
whatever you need.

I just, I can't do this anymore,

because it's killing me.

Well...

I don't think so.

I didn't kill anyone.

That's not how
this goes, alright?

Martin is the fixer.
I do my thing, and he does his.

So, if someone told Paolo

to go after Rachel and Clara,
then it was Martin.

Well, he certainly
screwed that up.

Yes! Colossal stupidity.
He is supremely mediocre

and completely replaceable.

He went rogue without
a plan, it's pathetic.

Trusting Paolo with this?
What a loser.

No! You don't
get to do this!

No, this is on you.
You shat the bed!

Stop talking!
For once in your life!

You need me to take care of your
endless messes, so I did!

There were millions
of dollars at stake!

What did you expect?!
- Not this, you moron!

None of this would've happened

if you hadn't sexually assaulted

all the women who came
into that goddamned studio!

Jesus Christ, Martin,
I'm not a monster!

You are a monster!

You both are.
You just can't see it.

Get off me, man.

An abuser, an enabler,
and a murderer.

Thanks to Rachel and Clara,

we got all three.
