[tense music playing]

Something's wrong
with this phone.

It's not ringing.

That's because nobody's dead.

Enjoy the peace
and quiet, Frank.

I hate peace and quiet.

You know, Frank, staring at that
phone ain't gonna make it ring.

[Pembleton]
It's gonna ring eventually.

And when it does,
Bayliss will be the primary.

I'm ready--
I'm ready for a case.

I want you to
take it slow and easy.

You don't have
to worry about me.

I won't,

as long as
Bayliss is the primary.

All right, let me guess.

Since me and Mikey
went to breakfast,

the phone ain't jingled once.

Huh? See?

Not a single murder this week.

This ain't the Baltimore
I know and love.

[phone ringing]

Baltimore Homicide.
I got it, Frank.

Go ahead. Certainly. Uh-huh.

We'll be there.
Triple murder, Bolton Hill.

- My keys?
- I-- I got 'em.

- I'm gonna--
- Good. Yeah, I'm gonna drive.

- Give me-- give--
- I'm driving.

- I'm driving.
- No, no, no. I got it.

- [phone ringing]
- Homicide, Lewis.

Gotcha.

All right, we got another one,
Exeter and Pratt.

That's four murders
in two minutes.

People starting to remember
what town they come from.

Take Munch with you.

[thunder rumbling]

Well, how-- how do you think
I got to work, huh?

- You drove.
- Yeah, I drove.

I-- I got
behind the steering wheel,

I put the key in the igni--
in the igni--

in the ignition
and I drove, all by my lonesome.

- So.
- Okay.

Meet you halfway.

- We'll have a coin toss.
- No, no toin coss. Come on.

- You just said "toin coss."
- What?

- Toin coss.
- No, coin toss.

- Coin toss, coin toss.
- Coin toss.

- Coin--
- Coin toss, coin toss.

Give me the keys. [chuckles]

- Give me the keys.
- All right, you drive.

Get in the car.

Get in the car.

[thunder rumbling]

[theme music playing]

[music fades]

- Hey, is this about my trout?
- It wasn't the trout.

- Well, was the wine good?
- No, it wasn't the wine.

- Then what is it?
What's the problem?
- It's you, Brodie.

You're just too happy
about everything.

Kellerman, I'm just trying
to cheer you up, guy.

Well, I don't wanna be
cheered up.

You can't stay on the boat
anymore, okay?

I'm sorry.

[Brodie] You're gonna miss me.

So what do we have,
Officer Deutch?

In the upstairs bedroom,
dead woman, 32.

Cathy with a C,
Clifton with a C.

In another bedroom, her two
little boys, Robbie and Ken.

- Forced entry?
- No sign.

The housekeeper, Althea Little,
discovered the bodies.

Is there a-- a Mr. Clifton?

Ex-husband, Lieutenant Commander
Alex Clifton.

- Lives in Annapolis.
- Okay.

The victims' names
are Robbie, Ken

and Cathy Clifton, two C's, 32.

- Ex-husband, um, um...
- [Deutch] Alex Clifton.

Alex Clifton, um...

[Bayliss] Dr. Cox,

you know my partner,
Frank Pembleton?

I do now. Hi.

Oh, this is passion,
this is hatred.

This is about 20 stab wounds.

Victim was stabbed 20 times.

[Cox] And now
for the worst part.

If you wanna follow me, please.

[police radio chatter]

Twins, ten years old.

[Bayliss] Oh, jeez.

One shot each, through a pillow,

through the head,
execution-style.

[sighing] Okay.

One shot each
behind the left ear,

detached, cold.

Mother killed with rage,

children killed with efficiency.

Two separate kinds of murders.

- Two different killers, maybe?
- Maybe.

Or maybe one killer
using two different weapons.

Right.

- Let's talk to the housekeeper.
- Right.

Kids will get to you every time.
I never get used to it.

[dramatic music playing]

[Lewis]
Vic's name is Reggie Copeland.

From the tracks on his arms,
the large-caliber wound,

the proximity
to a heroin market,

I'd say it was a heated dispute

about the symbolism
of red and blue

in an 18th century
French Romantic poetry.

That or a drug murder.

[chuckling] Yeah, well...

Okay, show of hands.

Who here saw what happened,

and wants to step forward
and cooperate fully

with the police officers
investigating this crime?

Heh, that's it.
Our work here is done.

This a joke to you?

Who you talking to?

I'm talking to you, bitch.

Bitch.

Man needs a humble.

Excuse me.

You are on my crime scene,

interfering with
police investigation.

- Interfering? What?
- Yeah, that's right.

Get your ass over here.

You trying to get our attention?

Yeah, if calling you a bitch
didn't do it,

I was gonna walk over
and leak on your car.

[Munch] Okay, what's up?

- The corner boy that got killed.
- Reggie Copeland.

Yeah, he was selling drugs
for this dude named Junior Bunk.

Word was,
Copeland was short on accounts,

turning in a couple hundred less
a week than he was supposed to.

Bunk shot Copeland?

I'm not about to
make myself an eyeball witness.

Let's just say you should ask
Bunk about Copeland's murder.

Okay. Drop him off around
the corner. You know the drill.

Oh, by the way.

Junior Bunk
sells Double-Star bags.

Double-Star bags?

Then he's working
for Luther Mahoney.

You got that right.

Luther Mahoney.

I've never seen
anything like it.

All that blood.

You worked for
Mrs. Clifton for how long?

Six years.

[Bayliss] And did Mrs. Clifton
have a boyfriend?

[Althea] Yeah, I guess
you could call him a boyfriend.

I'd call him a fool.

Did this fool have a name?

Jimmy Sutter.

He has one of those hairdos
from the '50s,

all swooped up.

A-- a duck's ass?

He's just a bartender
at the Cat's Eye,

- but he thinks he's a musician.
- [Pembleton] Huh.

Did he and Mrs. Clifton,

they ever argue, fight--

- All the time.
- [Pembleton] Oh.

Screaming at each other.

He hit her once or twice,

with her boys in the house.

That wasn't right.

- Terri, Terri, Terri.
- What do you want, Lewis?

What, I gotta want something?

Okay.
All right, I want your help.

[Stivers]
Last time I helped you,

one of my best informants
was shot to death.

[Lewis] Hey, look,
I feel as bad about Vernon Troy
as the next guy.

I kinda miss
the smelly little junkie.

So what do you want from me?

Well,
I got a dead street slinger

by the name of Reggie Copeland.

Supposedly worked
for a dealer named Junior Bunk.

The only problem is,
I ain't got no sheet
on this Junior character.

He's no dealer, he's a gopher.

An errand boy
for Luther Mahoney.

He's also Luther's nephew.

Well, Junior was dealing
Double-Star bags.

Is there any chance
that Uncle Luther

was slipping him a package
and a couple corners?

Maybe, but I never saw Bunk
as much of a gangster.

Well, he just got himself
a promotion. You with me?

- Another dance with Luther?
- Yeah.

It's the least we could do
for Vernon Troy, huh?

Take another crack
at Luther Mahoney.

Cathy Clifton
was a very good neighbor.

I don't know
what more I can tell you.

[Pembleton] Okay,
thanks very much, Mister, um...

Burton. I've said it
three times already.

[Pembleton]
Thanks very much, Mr. Burton.

[sighing] Neighbor,
a Mr. Burton, alleges

that, um,
the suspect-- the suspect,

um,
entered the victim's premises

last night at
approximately 11:30 a.m.

- P.m., that's p.m.
- Frank.

Jimmy Sutter's on shift
at the Cat's Eye.

Okay.

Let's go pick this fella up
and put him in The Box.

[Bayliss] Well, hold on now,
we'll talk to him,

but I also wanna
talk to the ex-husband.

What?

You wanna--
you wanna go to Annapolis

when we got a suspect
here in Baltimore?

We-- we should
interrogate this--

- You should interrogate
this-- this fella.
- Hey, hey, hey.

One step at a time,
slow and easy. Remember?

Oh, I-- I don't wanna
take it slow and easy.

We got a dead woman, we got
two dead ten-year-old boys.

Come on.

And-- and as far as
a murder suspect is concerned,

my money's on, uh,
it's on Duck's Ass.

[Bayliss] Mr. Sutter?

Mr. Sutter,
I'm Detective Bayliss.

Detective Pembleton,
Baltimore Homicide.

We're here to talk to you about
your girlfriend, Cathy Clifton.

What about her?

Well, your girlfriend
was found murdered this morning.

- What?
- Yeah.

I can't believe it.

And what about her kids?

Oh, no.

Did you see Cathy
last night, Mr. Sutter?

Yeah, I did.

And how long did you
stay at her house?

[Sutter] I only stayed
a couple hours.

We got into a little fight
and she kicked me out.

Got into a fight?

What,
you don't think I killed her?

No, I'm not saying that.

[Sutter] Well, that's what
you're doing here, isn't it?

We're here
to ask some questions.

Well, ask anything you want.

I did not murder Cathy.

I didn't murder her two boys.

Let's see if old Junior Bunk
is really as weak
as people say he is.

I'll take the back.

[tense music playing]

Telegram for Mr. Bunk.

He just peeked out
from behind the curtain

and ducked back inside.

[brakes screeching]

[Lewis] Woo.
Just that quick, huh?

You got skills
enough for a rodeo.

Well, what the hell are you
doing trying to run from us?

All we wanna do is
charge you with a murder.

- Murder?
- Felony murder,
the death of Reginald Copeland.

That boy you had working for you
over at Pratt and Exeter.

[Bunk sobbing]

Oh, now,
wait a minute, come on now.

Crazy-ass gangster like you
fretting over catching a body?

Come on, now.
You got to buck up, my brother.

Well, it wasn't like that.

I didn't want nobody
to catch no bullet.

You know, Junior, you have
the right to remain silent,

but, I must admit,

a good cry can do a man wonders.

[police radio chatter]

Have you got a suspect
in the Clifton murders?

Yeah, it's the boyfriend,
it's Jimmy Sutter.

He's got a record for assault.

There's also an ex-husband
in the case, Gee.

He's a naval officer
in Annapolis,

Lieutenant Commander
Alex Clifton.

[Giardello] So take
a ride down to Annapolis.

And if Sutter is the killer,

then you may get leverage
from Clifton.

You know,
the ex-husband can only throw
some dirt on the boyfriend.

Well,
that's my thinking exactly.

Well, why don't you take
this ride down to Annapolis

and I'll get Sutter in The Box.

You're gonna interrogate him?

This case is mine.

Well, you don't-- you don't even
consider him to be a suspect.

- Well, I never said that.
- Gentlemen.

I want you both
to go down to Annapolis,

then you both
interrogate Sutter.

I-- I-- I can

conduct an interview by myself.

Now, teamwork, gentlemen.
Remember, teamwork.

Exactly.

So I hear that you're the reason
coffee is so good at Homicide.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, when I lose my badge,

I can go work
at the Daily Grind.

See, that's what
I like about you, Kellerman,

this positive attitude of yours.

[sighs] I'm going nuts.

Waiting for
the Grand Jury summons,

waiting for
the other shoe to drop.

It's just this waiting
that's killing me.

What other choice do you have?

I don't know.
Quit, give up, go catch marlin.

- No, no, no, don't do that.
- Why?

'Cause I'd miss your coffee.

So you gave Reggie Copeland
a $1,000 package.

He's supposed to give you 600
and keep the rest,

only it's $300 short.

That's a pretty good reason
to kill a guy in my book.

- [Bunk] It wasn't like that.
- Oh, he wasn't short?

[Bunk sighs] I don't know.

Everybody's a little short
at the end of the day,

with spillage and all.

Spillage? [scoffs]

Copeland is dead, Junior.

Now, you're gonna
have to talk to us,

or you're gonna end up
wearing this little murder

all by your lonesome.

Tell you a story.

Good. We like stories.

[sighing] All right.

I'll tell it,

but I gotta stay monogamous.

Monogamous?

You know, monogamous?

You change my name,
move me to a different city?

I'ma tell you
what I gotta tell you,

but I gotta remain monogamous.

Monogamous.

We're gonna protect you, Junior.

We're gonna give you
breakfast in bed if you want,

but you gotta do
something for us.

You gotta talk to us
about Luther Mahoney.

Uncle Luther.

You know Luther's my uncle?

We know everything, Junior.

- [Bunk panting]
- Everything.

[Bunk sniffling]

[Lewis] I'll go call
the State's Attorney.

[dramatic music playing]

- Have you notified
Commander Clifton yet?
- [officer] No.

So he doesn't know
his wife's dead, huh?

He knows. They told him.

What do you mean?
Channel 11 got here first?

[officer] It happens.

Where's Clifton now?

- Jogging, inside the quad.
- Okay.

Hey, Daniels, Daniels,

you talked to Commander Clifton
before the police got here?

Is he a suspect?

Hey, get-- No comment.

He was pretty shaken up.

That have anything to do
with you pushing a camera
in his face,

finding out his wife
and children are dead

from a reporter?

I didn't know
that he didn't know.

[Bayliss] Oh.

Just got lucky, huh?

Commander Clifton,
can you tell us

who possibly
might wanna kill your wife?

Oh. I don't know.

She was seeing someone.

Some musician type. Jimmy...

- Jimmy Sutter?
- [Alex] Yes.

She was afraid of him.

She-- she told me
that he threatened her.

[Bayliss] Right.
Yeah, we know that.

Have you arrested him?

[Pembleton]
We-- we're talking to him.

Commander Clifton,
could you tell us

where you were
last night, this morning?

I was working late.
My secretary can verify that.

And I went home
and came back early.

- [Pembleton] What time?
- It was around six.

When was the last time
you spoke to your ex-wife?

Last night.

[Pembleton] Last night?

Yeah, she...

she told me she wanted
to get back together.

We were gonna meet tonight,

discuss a reconciliation.

[Pembleton] Oh, come on.
Sutter-- Sutter killed her.

He-- he finds out that
she's gonna leave him, right,

go back to the, uh--
to the ex-husband.

He goes ballistic,
ba-da-bing, ba-da-bing.

Maybe.

What?

See, Alex Clifton finds out

that his soon-to-be
reconciled-with wife

and two sons
are brutally murdered.

- Yes.
- And he goes for a run?

People react
differently to death.

I don't see a problem.

I don't know, I just wish
that we'd been the ones

to tell Clifton
about his family, you know?

I like to see
that first reaction.

You don't have
any evidence against this guy.

- Got a feeling.
- A what?

A feeling.

A feeling?

Yes, Frank, a feeling.

I got a feeling, too.

I feel
that the boyfriend did it.

I had to tell my uncle
that I was short

$300 on the last couple
of half-ounces.

And you know Luther,
he gets to jumping bad,

talking about how I'm letting
my own crew take advantage.

And what did Luther Mahoney
do at that point?

Picked up the phone.

Called up this crazy cat
he knows from Philadelphia,

Franklin Chubb.

Told him to get on the train
and come down.

[Danvers] He wanted
this man to come to Baltimore?

For what?

To kill someone.

And who was
Franklin Chubb supposed to kill?

See, Luther asked me which
of my crew was short the 300.

And to tell you the truth,
man, I don't even know.

I'm over 20, maybe 30,000 a day.

How am I supposed to know
who messed up a little $300?

But you named Reggie Copeland.

Somebody's name had to ring out.

Luther didn't bring
his man Franklin to Baltimore

just to play.

And Franklin Chubb
shot Reggie Copeland

at Pratt and Exeter
the next morning?

I wasn't there,
but I know it came to pass.

Luther paid Franklin
with a package.

Gave him three halves
for doing the work right.

[Lewis] Oh, let me
get this straight here.

Luther Mahoney paid the gunman
$5,000 in heroin to do a murder

because he was cheated
out of $300 in heroin.

Luther's big on principle.

Well, I'll call
the phone company,

see if I can get
Luther Mahoney's records.

Maybe he made
a call to Philadelphia.

NCIC's sheet on
Franklin Warren Chubb.

24, shows he has two residences,

Kensington and North Philly.

Get an interstate warrant.

I want you and Lewis
on the next train heading north.

- What about me?
- You, Detective,
will have the honor

of arranging
to keep our star witness

free from want, fear,
and Luther Mahoney.

You want me to stay with him?

I'll get a couple
of plainclothes officers

on 24-hour detail.

Get a hotel room
outside of the city.

Hate to admit,
this is shaping up nicely.

Junior's testimony will prove
Mahoney planned the murder.

Now all we need is
to get our hands on the shooter.

City of Brotherly Love,
here we come.

[upbeat pop music playing]

[Lewis] Franklin Chubb,
you're under arrest.

[Munch] First-degree murder

in the shooting
of Reggie Copeland.

Get him out of here.

- [Lewis laughing]
- What are you so happy about?

I'm just thinking about the look
on Luther Mahoney's face

when he finds out
he's facing 15 to life.

Come on, we got just enough time

to catch the midnight train
to Baltimore.

[Howard] So you got
nothing in Annapolis?

Well, we checked Clifton's
alibi, and he was working

until three o'clock
the night of the murders,

and he was back into work
at six the next morning.

So that leaves
three hours unaccounted for.

Ha-- ha-- hang-- hang on.

We have precious few reasons
to suspect the husband

when we got
the boyfriend in The Box.

So-- so-- s-- so...

All right,
let's go on this guy then.

Okay.

- [Pembleton sighing]
- You okay?

- What?
- What?

Since you had the stroke,
you haven't been back
in the Interrogation Room.

- Just wondered if you were--
- Oh, for God's sake.

- No, it's something new.
- I'm fine.

- Just asking.
- What?

Just asking.

I did not kill her.

[Bayliss] Mr. Sutter, calm down.

No pressure,
just three guys in a room,

having a conversation.

Yeah.

Okay.

So when did you
first meet Cathy?

- Nine months ago.
- Uh-huh.

She got divorced
two months after we met.

If your next question is,
am I the reason for the divorce,

the answer's no.

No, that's not my next question.

My next question
is about the fight.

- [Sutter] What fight?
- The fight.

The fight you had
with Cathy on the night

that she passed away.

What was that fight all about?

Well, Cathy didn't need
a reason to fight.

Were you aware that Cathy
had called her husband,

her ex-husband
asking for a reconciliation?

Yeah, she made the call
right in front of me.

[Pembleton] Oh,
how'd that make you feel?

Make you angry? Were you angry?

Yeah, it made me angry.

Every time she got mad at me,
she'd get him on the phone.

She'd make
all kinds of things up.

She'd make stuff up like what,

like you were hitting her?

- I only hit her one time.
- Oh, yeah, only one.

And I apologized for that,
she forgave me.

- [laughs] Uh-huh.
- Look, I got a temper, okay?

But basically,
I'm a peaceful cat.

You're a peaceful cat?

What, this coming
from the mouth of a guy

who was arrested
three times for assault

in one, one, one year.

That was self-defense.

Arrested once,
hey, you're entitled.

Arrested twice, it's Baltimore,
home of the bar brawl.

But arrested three times
for assault in one year,

then maybe it's time for you
to start admitting you

that you have
emotional control problems.

At least I've got emotions,

not like her old
cold fish of an ex.

Cathy liked my temper.

Now, how well do you know
Commander Clifton?

I never met him.

Yeah, but she told
you about him.

Yeah, she told me.

She told me they never fought,

and she hated that.

What, she was unhappy
because they didn't fight?

Well, you know
how frustrating that can be.

Trying to pick
a fight with someone,

only they never bite.

Keep going, Frank.
I'll be right back.

[door slams]

How's Pembleton doing in there?

[Bayliss] Oh, great.

It's Frank, he's in The Box,
it's like coming home.

Where are you going?

Chasing a feeling, Gee.

[dramatic music playing]

[Lewis] Luther Mahoney.

Detective Lewis.

- What can I do for you?
- Luther.

Just dropping by to tell you

we bumped into a friend
of yours yesterday.

As matter of fact,
we arrested a friend of yours.

Franklin Chubb.

- Don't know the man.
- He knows you.

Said you had him murder
Reginald Copeland,
on your orders.

Reginald Copeland.
Reginald Copeland.

- Name doesn't ring any bells.
- [both chuckling]

Luther,
it gives me great pleasure

to charge you with conspiracy

in the murder
of Reggie Copeland.

We got the shooter,
we got the weapon.

And we got a witness,
gave us the whole story.

Well, story's
a good word for it.

My nephew
has a vivid imagination.

Nephew.

You hear anybody
say anything about a nephew?

[Mahoney]
You know, I haven't seen Junior
since yesterday morning.

And we both know
Junior's personality.

You're hanging
your case on Junior?

That's very ambitious of you
and the State Attorney,

but ultimately
a waste of your time and mine.

Can you hook him up,
please, Officer.

Come on.
You can lock me up today.

But you know me, Detective.

Tonight I'll be
buying you a drink.

[Lewis laughing]

[Daniels] Commander Clifton,
Dawn Daniels from WBAL.

Your wife and children were
found murdered in their beds.

There, there, there.
You see that? See that?

Just a split second
before hearing the news,
his knees buckled.

Now he's reacting with grief,
before he even knows
what he's grieving.

[Pembleton] She was talking
about his wife and his child.

- He's looking for
a reaction on her face--
- [Bayliss] No, no, no.

He knows what
he's gonna hear, Frank.

He's guilty.
A man with no emotions.

He's faking a reaction, Gee.

Get down to Annapolis,
bring him back to Baltimore.

- [Bayliss] That's all I need.
- Wild goose chase.

- Hey, Lieutenant,
you live alone, don't you?
- I do.

Do you ever miss
coming through your front door

and seeing someone
who's happy to see you?

- Yes, I do.
- Well, I was hoping
you'd say that.

- Why?
- Well, 'cause I need a place
to stay for a couple.

- Absolutely not.
- You said if I ever needed--

The day I ever get
that lonely, Brodie,

I'll go out and get a dog.

And find
some place else to live,

but don't you sleep
in the squad room anymore.

- You're stinking up the place.
- I'm not sleeping in here.

[keys jangling]

[tense music playing]

What up, Luther?

You know my nephew, Junior Bunk?

Word is they got him tucked
away, under lock and key.

Well, I gotta get
a message to him.

Not a problem.

[dramatic music playing]

[Bayliss] Hello.

- So you talked to Sutter?
- [Bayliss] We did.

And he's guilty, right?

You know, I'm kinda curious.

You're so positive
that Jimmy Sutter

murdered your ex-wife
and your children,

why didn't you tell the police
down in Annapolis?

Well, I was upset.
I wasn't thinking clearly.

Right. Right.
You were upset and ran.

Well, running calms me down.

When I'm upset,
emotional, I need to run.

You don't like getting
emotional, do you, Commander?

What's that supposed to mean?

Now, Mr. Sutter said that...

that you and your wife

never ever had a fight,

that you never
got mad with your wife.

[Clifton] Well, there are ways
to resolve problems

without two people
screaming at each other.

Yeah, but you
didn't resolve them.

I mean, you got divorced.

Is it-- is it warm in here?

Yeah, it is a little bit.

Yeah, we got a problem with the
whole heating system in here.

We got old pipes.

But Cathy left you.

Well, no, Cathy didn't leave me.
It was a mutual decision.

Well, that's not what it says
here in the divorce petition.

You have our divorce record?

It's routine, Commander,
part of the investigation.

All right, this petition

lists Cathy
as the plaintiff, you see?

Yeah, what does this have to do
with Cathy's murder?

- We should be
talking about Sutter.
- Uh-huh.

- Well, what do you
wanna tell us about him?
- He hit her.

On more than one occasion,

she called and said
he was threatening her.

- [Pembleton giggling]
- Mm-hmm. Right.

And what'd you feel about that?

Made me feel like I wanted
to kill the son of a bitch.

How do you think?

Can't you just
turn down the heat?

No, the, you know, thermostat's
in our Captain's office,

and he likes it hot, so.

Now, Commander,

didn't you ever,
ever confront Sutter?

That wasn't my business.
It was Cathy's personal life.

Oh. Well, how about your sons?

I mean,
aren't they your business?

I loved my sons.

If I thought
they were in danger,

believe me,
I would not have let that go by.

You have high blood pressure.

- [Clifton] What?
- You have high blood pressure.

Your secretary told us
when we went

to check on your alibi.

She's concerned
about your health,

how that might affect you.

[Clifton] She has
nothing to worry about.

Oh, the silent killer,

that's what they call
high blood pressure.

- I would know. I have it.
- I'm on medication.

My blood pressure's
under control.

- What are you on?
- Lopressor.

Lopressor?

Are you-- you having trouble
with side effects?

- No.
- No fatigue, no lethargy, no--

Hey, Frank,
let me talk to you outside.

Hang on, I'm trying
to get to the bottom

of these-- these side effects.

I know, I know, I know. Now.

Oh, excuse me, Commander.
We'll be right back.

What?

What are you doing,
bringing up his blood pressure?

You-- you were right.

Oh, is that--
is that what you wanna hear?

You were right, and I was wrong.

Clifton's guilty.
I'm all over it.

- Is that what you
dragged me out here for?
- No, no, Frank, Frank.

It isn't about being right,
being wrong, no.

What? You-- you wanna take
a shot at him all by yourself.

- Is that it, huh?
- [Bayliss groans]

You know something, you and me,

we're just--
we are so out of rhythm.

After four years,
we got to a point
where you would take a tack,

and I'd know immediately
what you were doing,

- and I'd follow that tack.
- Right. Right. Right.

And we got to a place where
we trusted each other's moves.

- It was beautiful.
- Yeah, it-- it was beautiful.

You remember that interview
we were doing this morning,

with the-- with the boyfriend?

You got up and you walked out.

You didn't tell me
where you were going.

And now you're talking
about you don't trust me.

That's not what
I'm talking about, Frank.

Then what are you talking about?
What are you talking about, huh?

I don't know
where you're going in there.

I don't know what questions
you're gonna ask next,
or anything like that.

I don't know-- See? I don't know
if your head is gonna explode.

Now, I had to be in that Box,

and I watched you
stroke out in there,

and I don't think
that I can do that again,

you know, it just--
it doesn't interest me.

I-- is-- is that it? You--
you don't wanna work with me

'cause you think I'm gonna
have another stroke on you?

- Is that it?
- No, Frank.

I want us to be
on the same page with this guy.

I'm gonna stop--
Stop lying to me.
Stop lying to me.

I'm a cop,
you're a cop, we're cops.

Cops die.

Partners die.

Everybody dies.

Get over it.

- Come on, you're-- you're ready.
- Wanna-- Yeah.

Are you? Okay.
Open the door. Open the door.

- Megan Russert, please.
- [Russert] Who's this?

- This is Brodie.
- [Russert] Who?

JH Brodie from Baltimore.

[Russert] Oh, hey, Brodie.
How are you?

- Megan?
- [Russert] Yeah.

Well, I'm good.
Things are great over here.

I mean, how's France?

[Russert] Très jolie,
as they say over here.

- And how's your daughter?
- [Russert] Fantastic.

- Your new husband?
- [Russert] Great.

You're not
really pregnant, right?

[Russert]
What do you want, Brodie?

Well, I was just thinking

about that really nice
brownstone that you have.

And I was wondering, do you
have anyone house-sitting?

Because I'm presently
without a place.

[Russert] You're kidding, right?

No, I'm serious.
I got evicted, and--

[Russert]
Did Munch put you up to this?

- [line clicking]
- Hello?

He-- Megan? Hello?

Hello?

- [crowd shouting on TV]
- It's not your life,
it's my life...

I love this show.

[knocking on door]

Hope that's lunch. I'm starving.

- Yeah?
- [man] Room service.

Leave it out there, now.
Thank you.

[dramatic music playing]

[Lewis] Well,
how the hell did this happen?

- Mahoney's in lockup.
How did he get to Bunk?
- It's Luther Mahoney.

The Detail Officers swear
they never left the room.

I want their names,
I want their badges.

[Danvers] Have a seat.
We're just getting started.

So let me understand this,
Mr. Russom.

Your client is saying
that all his previous statements

to law officers
are entirely fictional,

and that he now wishes
to make a statement

in the murder of Reggie Copeland

that is exculpatory
of Luther Mahoney?

Luther Mahoney had nothing to do

with the murder
of Reggie Copeland.

My client will testify to that.

If your client wants
to back up on his statement,

that's his choice,

but he runs the risk
of being charged

with perjury and false report.

[Russom]
We're aware of the implications.

Have you been listening to this?

You could be
looking at ten years.

That's ten years, Junior.

And there's no guarantee

that your uncle
won't come back on you.

You gotta be serious.
I'm all right with Luther.

Who you think
got me this lawyer?

Are you gonna let this Bunk
punk off the hook here, Danvers?

I can't force him
to tell the truth.

Mr. Russom, you and your client
are free to leave.

But if he testifies falsely
in open court,

he will be charged
with felony perjury.

I got to live in this world.

You just let
Luther Mahoney walk, again.

I'm looking for
a Detective Kellerman.

[Kellerman] Yeah, that's me.

- [Cox] Hey.
- Hey.

Just what I always wanted,

a summons to appear
before the grand jury.

So you appear
before the grand jury.

Worst comes to worst,
you plead the Fifth.

Am I right, Dr. Cox?

I wouldn't know.
I'm not a lawyer.

You really can't do anything
about the heat in here?

Well, it is warm in here.

You might as well
take off your jacket, Commander.

Get comfortable.
You're gonna be here a while.

- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, all right.

You know, I have always favored
the dress blues of the US Navy.

- Crisp, clean, traditional.
- Great, great.

I'd like to talk
about Cathy, your wife.

- My ex-wife.
- [Pembleton] Oh.

Would you-- would you mind
not doing that, please?

- Hmm? Oh.
- Thank you.

So, how well did you two
get along after the divorce?

- We got along fine.
- [Pembleton] Hmm.

- Do you smoke, Commander?
- No.

- Drink?
- Occasionally.

- But not as much as Cathy did.
- [Bayliss laughing] Oh, yeah.

I mean,
we know that Cathy was a--

well, I mean that
she drank profusely.

I would've preferred
she not drink so much, yes.

[Pembleton]
Would you also have preferred

that she not have, um, affairs?

- [Clifton] What?
- You know, affairs.

[Bayliss] Yeah, she had
an affair with Jimmy Sutter.

This is two months
before she left you.

That doesn't matter.

- [Bayliss chuckles]
- That doesn't up-- upset you?

[Clifton] Cathy was impulsive.
I never held that against her.

[Bayliss laughing]
Wait a minute.

She had an affair,

and she left you for the man
that she had an affair with.

And you're okay with that?

I adjusted to being divorced.

I didn't like it,
but I accepted my situation.

[Bayliss] What, she left you,
she came here to Baltimore,

she brought your kids.

- You paid alimony, Commander?
- Cathy didn't work.

Oh, so-- so you bought
that-- that townhouse?

You-- you paid
for the furniture?

You-- you bought
that gorgeous little bed?

Yeah, the bed, that bed,
that bed that Sutter sleeps in.

Yeah, he's drinking a beer,
he's sleeping with your wife,

he's kissing
your sons good night.

Meanwhile, what are you doing?

- You're alone in Annapolis.
- [Pembleton] Right.

You don't have a girlfriend,
do you, Commander?

- [Clifton] No, I don't.
- [Pembleton] No.

So you spend
a lot of time alone,

working until three o'clock
in the morning,

while your wife's drinking
with her boyfriend,

who's being new daddy
to your sons,

and that doesn't upset you?

- No.
- [Pembleton laughing]

Well, you're a--
you're a better man than I am,

'cause I would be furious.

[Bayliss] Oh. Whoa. Whoa.

[Pembleton] Just get-- no,
it's all right, it's all right.

- Just get it. Just get it.
- [Pembleton] Let me help there.

[overlapping arguing]

Don't ruin--
Give me the damn jacket now!

Now. Now.

[Pembleton] This is how you felt
when you killed your wife.

This is the rage that fueled you
to stab her 20 times.

[Clifton] She divorced me.

Walked out,
screaming to high heaven

that I made her feel
like she wasn't alive,

that she was dead inside.

So I became a divorced man.

Then, two nights ago,
she calls me.

Hmm?

She says our divorce
was a mistake.

She said she loved me.

Well, I couldn't
let her do that.

We decided to be divorced.

She said she didn't love me.

She couldn't change her mind.

We made a decision,
and we had to stick with that.

I could not let her
change things again.

I wouldn't let her
do that to me.

I wouldn't let her.

Shouldn't you be home
with your wife, Lewis?

[Lewis] She's visiting her mom.
Come on here.

Have another one. On the house.

Get you drunk. [chuckling]

Why not? I'm entitled.

This day couldn't get any worse.

I wouldn't necessarily say that.

So this is the infamous cop bar.

[laughing]

The Waterfront.

It's very...

quaint.

- What you want, Luther?
- Mmm.

I just came to show
that I have no hard feelings.

And I would like
to buy a drink...

for the house.

What, no takers?

What about you, Terri?

- I'm not thirsty.
- [Mahoney] Hmm.

Why don't you see if they got
some Newports in the machine?

[Lewis] I remember when I was
first coming up as a patrolman.

And my sergeant told me

that sometimes you're gonna
have to clear the corner.

- Hmm.
- [Lewis] No big thing.

Just invite everybody
to move on.

And for most people,
that's enough.

You know, the police
tell you to move along,

that's what you're gonna do,
you're gonna move along.

Except every once in a while,
he told me,

there's gonna be
some knucklehead fool...

that's gonna wanna stand there
on your corner talking trash.

And then he told me,
he said, "Don't you ever...

ever let no knucklehead
stand there.

Because the minute you do that,

the minute you let
somebody shame you,

you're finished as a beat cop."

And what he suggested that I do

is that I take my nightstick,

and I pop him
upside the head so hard

that everybody who hears it
knows who had the last word.

You're on my corner.

[Mahoney laughing]

[Lewis exhales sharply]

[Stivers sighing]

I'll drink to that.

My partner thought
you were guilty right off.

But I didn't,
because I thought...

why would a man
kill his own sons?

You killed your wife
with a knife,

with passion, with brutality.

But you shot the boys.

It's painless.

Efficient.

Why?

What was that?

Mercy?

Did I?

Is that what I did?

Did I show them mercy?

Hey.

Hey.

What brings you here?

You.

Me?

Getting a grand jury summons

puts a damper on your day,
I would think.

Yeah.

You need company?

Thanks.

[Kellerman]
Do you want a beer or something?

[Cox] Well...

[bell tolling]
