Programma Televisivo: The Closer - 6x1
Sync by n17t01 www.addic7ed.com Air 14 coming for the watch commander.
Air 14's on.
Go ahead, sir.
Yeah, police 14.
We are over the call.
I've got a body in sight.
He is tied up in the wires on the side of the building.
Looks like he might have some, uh, head wounds...
Possible gunshot wounds, guys.
Air 14 to the units...
I got you there.
Uh, use caution, guys.
I cannot clear the inside.
I have no movement, but we might have additional victims.
We might also have a shooter in the area.
Use caution, gentlemen.
Airship 14, confirm the body is in the wires.
Yeah, Roger that.
He's caught up in the wires outside the house.
Aah!
Air 14 to the guys on the ground...
Just talked to the watch commander.
Be advised...
he wants you to secure the scene And wait for major crimes.
Air 14.
Hey, guys, this is a major crimes case.
Just secure the scene and stand by for them, Per the watch commander.
But I'd rather have Mr.
Beebe's body Brought back up here.
I know, but it's the fire department's call, And they want him lowered to the ground.
fine.
excuse me.
Uh, Mr.
Fireman.
When you finally cut him loose And he slams against the side of the house, Could you cover him with a tarp, please?
I don't want Mr.
Beebe's friends and family To see him like this.
Detective Gabriel, now that our new building Has its own briefing room, would you kindly ask the press To go downtown to meet with commander Taylor?
Um...Yeah.
Sure.
What do you want the reporters to know?
That it doesn't look like a suicide.
So, chief, it seems Mr.
Beebe was shot before dawn While his computer was logging photographs Off the telescope.
Photographs of what?
Can't say.
His laptop goes to sleep after five minutes.
I need a password to log back on, and...I don't have it.
Maybe he was scanning the neighborhood for, uh, heavenly bodies.
Well [chuckles] He has a heavenly body in his...Bedroom...
A Mrs.
Cherie Walker.
And she really wants to leave here Before her husband finds out where she spent the night.
Could you please tell her I'll be down there to speak with her in a minute?
So...
Detective Sanchez, do we have any idea How things played out here?
Three shots, chief...
7.62 NATO rounds.
The first bullet lands here, second one, here, And then one more bullet in the back of the victim's head.
The impact pushes the victim over the railing.
You know, it had to happen fast, So automatic weapon.
Judging from the angles of the impacts, I'd say the shooter was at least 200 yards away, Somewhere over there.
So it looks like our victim Wasn't the only one using a scope.
And it was early in the morning, So it was a night scope, at that.
So, Mr.
Beebe and Cherie have dinner, Go downstairs for a little intimacy, And then, at some point early this morning, Our victim pops back up here To look at...
What?
I have no idea.
I-I didn't even know Steven had gotten out of bed.
Look...
My husband is going to be back in town any minute.
Please.
You...
you have to let me go.
Listen to me, Cherie.
I'm not the adultery police.
The last thing I want to do Is to tell anyone that you were having an affair.
Why don't we take you downtown While we figure out what to tell your husband?
He's away in...?
Palm Springs.
But he's flying back this morning.
Flying?
[ chuckles ] it's a pretty quick drive.
He's helping them build a new control tower for their airport.
He always flies.
And he's gonna be home any second.
And your husband's name is...?
Uh, Caleb.
He's a former army officer, West point graduate, and very, very uptight.
He's not...
he is not going to understand My side of things at all.
A-and does Caleb...Know...
Uh, Mr.
Beebe?
Oh.
Y-yeah.
He hired Steven to rebuild our terrace.
Oh.
So Mr.
Beebe is y-your contractor?
yeah.
And since Caleb travels so much, I dealt with the remodel.
Oh.
And...
and...
and how long Have you and Steven been seeing each other?
About three weeks.
He...Stopped by one night to make sure the grilling station had been set up properly.
And it was dark out.
And Steven was pointing out the stars to me.
Mmm.
This one and that one.
I'm...
I'm bad with names.
Anyway, somehow or other, We...
Started making out.
Aw.
Steven set his alarm for 4:00 this morning.
And y-you j-just slept right through it?
Maybe 'cause of all the champagne.
Which is why I stayed the night.
I-I thought it would be very wrong to drive home drunk.
A responsible choice.
Uh, tell me...
uh, take me back to last night, When you and Steven were upstairs on the roof.
Did Steven, uh, show you anything In his telescope?
Yeah.
We tracked the space station for a while.
Oh, and he showed me what our house looked like upside down.
You can see your house from here?
Mm-hmm.
Okay, chief, that's Cherie Walker's terrace, And you can see the work being done on it.
Oh!
I think Mr.
Walker's home from palm Springs.
And if you want to see how he looks right-side-up, I have it.
Chief.
I say we wire Cherie, send her home right now, See if she and her husband get into it.
He may have just killed her boyfriend.
What if he shoots Cherie, too?
then we solved the case.
at this moment, I cannot think of a more irresponsible suggestion.
No.
I say we ask Mr.
Walker to visit us in our new building.
He can be the first person To try out those horrible new interview rooms.
Oh, my!
Oh, come on.
Not again.
Don't pull on it!
Well, what button are you pressing?!
Just...
just let go, please.
This remote control's worthless.
Okay, so, the screen is not, uh, working yet.
We'll fix that.
But, otherwise, pretty great, right?
We were told that we can't have A coffeemaker or a refrigerator in here.
That's because we have a break room With all that stuff in it right down the hall.
Any other complaints About your new $10 million divisional headquarters?
How about the wall Separating my office from my conference room?
Well, that's...Nothing.
She's a person of interest.
Couldn't agree more.
Well, why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself?
Her husband doesn't know she's here.
Oh, yeah, speaking of her husband, I read him his rights And dumped him in one of the interview rooms.
Good luck getting anything out of him.
Lieutenant Provenza, Your desk from Parker center is city property.
It was supposed to be sold at auction.
It was.
I bought it.
This desk is the longest relationship of my adult life, And I am not giving it up.
And...
These seating assignments are ridiculous.
Hm.
Tao.
Tao!
Uh, have you been able to get past the password On our victim's computer yet?
That would mean "no."
C-chief, w-we still don't know What our victim was looking at when he was shot.
Is there anything else you want us to be working on here?
Yes, lieutenant, there is.
Not all remodels go as planned.
Let's ask some of Mr.
Beebe's employees To compile a list of their clients.
See how...
Popular he was with his customers.
Where am I going?
Thank you.
While we're at it, could someone please find out Why there were no "shots fired" reports In the victim's neighborhood last night?
Thank you.
Chief pope, could you please...
Oh!
For heaven's sakes!
I can't move in this place!
Nothing works around here.
nothing!
Read what it says here, will. "
hard interview room."
And what kind of a message Is that supposed to send to suspects?
Maybe it's supposed to be intimidating.
I decide when to intimidate people around here...
Not the building.
And this...
this!
Who over the age of 10 can sit next to this mirror Without knowing they're being watched?!
We film people all the time.
Yeah, but they don't know that!
And even if they do, they can't see the cameras!
This new building is an obstacle course.
You've been here five days.
Give the building a chance.
You'll adapt to it.
I promise.
And look...
as different as things might seem, The really important stuff hasn't changed at all.
You still have a murder to work out And a suspect you need to interview.
Just stay centered on that, And everything else will fall into place.
You'll be okay.
And all his customers, too!
Oh.
I thought you said this room was empty!
I'm so sorry about that, sir.
I was told this room was vacant.
Who are you, again?
Caleb...Walker.
Caleb Walker.
One second.
It's a Mr.
Caleb Walker!
I don't know about this two-way mirror thing.
I'm so sorry about that, Mr.
Walker.
It's just that we are talking To all of Mr.
Steven Beebe's customers and neighbors, And you are both.
Which is why I said yes When your people asked me to come down here.
Then I was read my rights and put in this room.
Is that how you treat people when they volunteer to help?
No, sir.
It isn't.
So let's just honor your commitment To being a good citizen And rush, rush, rush through these questions.
Um...
Did you hear gunshots last night?
As I told the other guy, I wasn't home last night.
I flew in from palm Springs this morning.
Okay?
You already spoke to someone else?
Where's your form?
Uh...Let's see.
What do we need to ask you?
Walker, Walker, Walker, Walker, Walker, Walker...
Oh!
Here you are... "
walker, Caleb."
Um...
Oh, my. "
oh, my" what?
Well, your paperwork is filed Right next to a "walker, Cherie," Same home address.
Your...
Daughter?
My wife.
Why?
Is she about to tell this guy his wife was cheating on him?
God.
Maybe that's why we call it a "hard interview room."
Well, there's just no easy way to say this.
Uh, while you were in palm Springs, Your wife spent the night with the victim.
D-did you know or suspect That your wife and your contractor were...
Close?
This is why you asked me down here And put me in this room?
To tell me Cherie had an affair?
See my reaction?
Well...
Here it is.
You're gonna pay for this little ambush.
And now I'm telling you And everyone behind that mirror...
I'm not saying another word until I get an attorney.
Here, chief.
Let me take that for you.
Thank you so much, commander.
Ah, so, have you heard From the palm Springs police department?
Did Walker's alibi hold up?
They sent film of him boarding a plane to Burbank Yesterday morning at 7:00 A.M.
But how good an alibi is that?
He could have driven to L.A., shot Mr.
Beebe, Then driven back in time to make his flight.
On another matter, Chief Johnson, do you know that I am The only person of my rank who hasn't been assigned An office in our new building here?
That's not true.
I've been trying to return some case files To commander hood for days, And his name doesn't show up on any floor...
He's dead.
Oh!
Horrible!
That's terrible.
Massive coronary.
And the office he had went to the guy who replaced him.
You know, I've been trying to speak to pope About where I should go, but he seems distracted.
Oh, well, you're welcome to camp out with us for a bit If you need to, commander.
Thanks.
I, uh...I might take you up on that.
Oh, that's fine.
Um, I'll put these upstairs.
Thank you.
Boy, the media just can't get enough of the new building.
I hate it.
Cops aren't happy unless they're miserable.
Ugh.
God.
Look at me.
I...Broke my hand Helping my daughter out of a tree in the backyard, And now, of course, I haven't been to the gym for weeks.
I feel...Fat.
Do I look fat to you?
I have a murder.
Do you want an update?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Tell me everything.
So now I need ballistics to confirm That the murder weapon was fired from the suspect's house Before I can get a search warrant for his residence.
But you must have evidence of some kind.
I mean, you held Walker overnight.
Did you not hear him threaten me?
Oh.
Right.
well, we can't arrest everybody who does that.
Very funny.
And Mr.
Walker has motive.
W-well...
Yeah, but...
Only if he knew his wife was having an affair Before you told him.
He's also a retired military officer And West point graduate, which means he has experience With weapons a-a-and night-vision optics.
What are you doing here?
I'm...
Turning this into an interview room.
Yeah, but this is your visitor conference center.
Look, you told me to adapt to the building.
Chief, I have the different-colored paint chips You asked me to get for the murder room.
I-I'm leaning toward the, uh, "iceberg" or the "royal blue."
although, I have to say, "viridian" is, um...
Awfully nice.
Hmm?
Chief Johnson?
With me.
With me.
I asked you to adapt to the building, Not adapt the building to you.
Do you have any idea how much trouble I've gone through So that you can have this state-of-the-art facility?
Oh, yeah, sure.
You did it all for me.
Look, this place may be state-of-the-art, But it wasn't designed By anyone who understands interrogation.
I'm the resident expert here on making people talk.
Yeah?
Haven't seen much proof of that lately.
That is completely unfair!
This building is...
A poor workman always blames his tools.
Parker center didn't even have caller I.D.
Our new divisional headquarters is at the cutting edge Of every law-enforcement technology in the world.
And I need for you and major crimes To fully embrace this place For at least the next two months.
Why?
There's gonna be A big announcement tomorrow that will make that clear.
In the meantime, you and your division Will behave as though this place were perfect in every way. "
perfect in every way."
really?
Mm-hmm.
What happened to your wall?
Hmm?
There was a wall here last week when we first moved in.
Where is it?
I had to walk out of my office to get to my...
Conference room.
Okay.
Y...
customize your space.
Just stop blaming the building for your failures.
Now, have you figured out yet how Walker knew The victim was gonna be on his roof at 4:00 A.M.?
I'm sorry, chief.
I still have no idea.
I'm sure the pictures from Mr.
Beebe's telescope Are on here...
Somewhere.
I just can't figure out the password.
I've tried birthday combinations, His current and previous addresses, mother's maiden.
I'm now cycling random words Through an application that was given to me...
Tao!
We get the idea, huh?
Uh, chief, Taylor left this, uh, box of your stuff here.
Oh.
And, uh, Flynn has got Cherie In our lovely new break room.
Does she not like her hotel?
Her husband's lawyer called her cell and told her That we ratted her out about the affair.
Oh.
That.
Right.
Um, tell me, lieutenant...
Uh...
Did I approach Mr.
Walker the wrong way yesterday, In your opinion?
Come on, chief.
You know, it's just a guy looking at a two-way mirror, And he saw someone who really needed an attorney.
That's all.
Right.
Is that the murder weapon?
An mllo?
A newer model of it, chief.
Semiautomatic.
Developed for military snipers.
It has the best night scope I've ever seen.
Plus, it has a flash suppressor and a built-in silencer.
Explains why no one heard shots fired On the night of the murder.
Oh, I've had it with this murder board!
Control thingy!
Chief?
Chief!
What is it?!
Oh.
Hello.
These are Mr.
Beebe's employees that you wanted to talk to.
This is Melanie Ryder.
She was his bookkeeper.
This is her husband, Paul...
construction foreman.
They also brought over the victim's client list, like you asked for.
Right.
Well, thank you so much for coming in.
pleasure.
Um, why don't we, um, head into my office?
Right this way.
I'm...So sorry for your loss.
Oh.
My apologies.
We're just moving in here.
Uh, you were saying?
The construction workers are temps.
We rented all our equipment.
So in terms of full-time employees, it's just us.
And Mr.
Beebe's business...
How was it doing financially?
He had enough to make payroll for months, Except...I wasn't authorized to sign checks, So...We can't even pay ourselves.
On the night that Steven was murdered, He went upstairs to his roof And was looking at something through his telescope.
Do you have any idea what that might have been?
Stars?
Steven wasn't a peeping Tom.
Whatever he was looking at, it was in the sky.
I promise.
It sounds like you were close to him.
Since High School.
Best friend.
My boss, too, I guess, but...
Friend first.
Did his customers like him, too?
Usually.
But when you're tearing up someone's home like that, Changing the center of their daily lives, That causes stress.
It does, doesn't it?
What kind of stress are we talking about?
A couple of home thefts.
But that's common at construction sites.
Appliances, tvs...
Our insurance company replaced or paid For everything our clients lost.
Would y'all like some...
Candy?
There's plenty here...
all different kinds, shapes.
Uh, uh, no.
No, thank you, chief.
Sizes.
What about Steven's romantic life?
Did you ever have any complaints about that?
For example?
For example, would you be surprised to hear That the wife of one of your clients Was sleeping in Steven's bed when he was murdered?
Yeah, we knew that he'd become...
Closer than he should have to Cherie Walker.
So maybe her husband knew, too.
Any chance some of the temps Working at the Walker house knew about the affair?
I'm sure they did.
Steven could be...
Extremely demonstrative.
He was like a teenager that way.
You sound a little upset about that.
This happened a lot.
I-I never talked to Melanie About the way Steven behaved with women until recently Because I didn't think she'd be okay with it, really.
You weren't okay with it, either, Paul.
Look, Steven had this one character flaw, okay?
He would get infatuated with someone, And then for a month or two, nothing else mattered.
But it wasn't all his fault.
It wasn't just his fault.
Women fell for him.
What was he supposed to do about that?
Cherie said Mr.
Beebe invited her over to his place To see the space station?
Yeah.
That was part of Steven's routine.
I think he got more use out of the space station Than NASA did.
Okay, you know something?
It is...
it is really infuriating To hear you talk about him In this "boys will be boys" kind of way.
For one thing, you don't even mean it.
And look at where Steven's bad behavior has put us.
We could end up losing everything!
everything.
Chief?
Yes?
Ballistics says the murder weapon Could have been fired from the walkers' house.
I have our search warrant.
Please don't tear up everything we just had built.
It cost a fortune.
Chief, look at this path.
Someone wiped away their tracks.
Think this rifle mount might help?
Found it next to the water cooler.
Hold up the dummy.
Okay, chief.
I have a clear line of sight to our victim's house.
You could make this shot.
With a steady hand and a little practice, Even she could do it.
Not without this weapon.
Gentlemen, let's see if we can find A rifle just like this one on the premises.
And some casings would be great, too.
Uh, maybe you could, like, go on keeping me As a protected witness, too.
Don't you worry, Cherie.
I have no intention of letting you go anywhere.
And you've been having an affair for how long?
Less than a month.
But I-I sort of fell into it because you've been away a lot.
So I want to kill you?
No, not me...
my boyfriend.
Why not the both of you?
Because we were on the roof together for a while, But you waited until my boyfriend was alone To shoot him.
Are you sure my motive is jealousy, Not...Irritation that everything you promised me You would bring to your new office Is still boxed up here?
It's not my fault!
I park blocks from where I work!
And you don't want to kill me, anyway.
You want to kill my boyfriend.
I certainly do.
So...
I don't blame you for the affair.
I have to blame the guy who seduced you.
That's right.
But just so you know, I'd never blame the other woman.
It'd be your fault, 100%.
Who's the killer here...
me or you?
You, you, you.
Sorry.
Go ahead.
Now, jealousy can provoke a crime of passion, But it can also arrive in stages, Like grief...
Shock, denial...
Rage.
Followed by gunshots to the head.
from a sniper rifle I still can't find.
Oh, Joel.
Which indicates planning on my part And that I'm hoping to get away with it.
So, how did I react when you first told me about the affair?
Was I cool, calm, and collected, or...
Did I drag all your boxes into the driveway And put a hose to them?
Oh, don't do that.
I've been faithful to you in every way.
Mm.
Well, I'm the forgiving type, but what about your suspect?
Is he a crime-of-passion kind of guy?
Or...
Was he cold and calculating?
And how did he know Your victim was gonna go back up on the roof at 4:00 A.M.?
'cause somehow he knew What Mr.
Beebe was going to be looking at Through his telescope.
And do you have any idea what that might have been?
The constellation of Sagittarius.
In particular, the milky way.
Hundreds of thousands of stars Crammed together at the center of the galaxy, Shining brightest in north America During the months of July and August.
I-in fact, during a recent g...
Thank you, Dr.
Sagan!
Can you please just scroll through the photos?
We're looking for something incriminating here, Like a picture of Walker aiming a gun at the victim.
How did you find the password to the victim's computer?
Mr.
Beebe's foreman told us Whenever he became infatuated with someone, She took over as the focus of his life.
He changed his password to "Cherie"?
Mr.
Beebe really was a teenager.
So, the milky way is brightest over the next two months, But that's not specific to the night of the murder.
I-it is, actually, 'cause normally, Mr.
Beebe couldn't take pictures from his house Because the ambient light from the city Would wash out the stars.
Right, but because of the recession, L.A.
Has been turning off the streetlights In different neighborhoods two hours before sunrise.
The night of the murder, Mr.
Beebe's neighborhood went dark at exactly 3:58 A.M.
Oh, lieutenant Flynn!
A usable murder board!
Thank you so much!
Let's get everything on it While the other one is still down.
Mr.
Beebe was looking at the stars.
And he changed his password to "Cherie."
What does that mean?
It means I really need to question Caleb Walker again.
Well, you're gonna have to settle For interviewing his attorney, Who's waiting for you in our new break room.
Chief, you mind if I, uh, Park in your conference room for a while?
No, commander Taylor.
Go ahead.
Thank you.
All right, gentlemen.
Gentlemen, now that we have located The center of the galaxy, I really want to find that murder weapon.
Let's run every name connected to this case, Including those of Mr.
Beebe's clients.
See if anyone is registered as owning an mllo rifle.
Thank you so much.
And if someone could please find out Where commander Taylor's office is supposed to be, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
Chief?
Yes?
Break room.
The break room is...
That way.
Oh.
All right, people.
You heard her.
Let's hop to it.
Mr.
Walker wants to go home, And he also wants to talk to his wife.
Cherie asked for protection.
If Mr.
Walker wants to see his wife, He needs to convince me he's not a threat.
Nice try, Johnson.
But Walker is never talking to you again in a billion years.
What do you want to ask him, anyway?
Honestly, Mr.
Murdoch, at this point, I only want to eliminate Mr.
Walker as a suspect.
You're supposed to be one of the greatest liars of all time, And that's the best you can do?
Really?
Hm.
Okay.
So, what makes Walker a suspect to begin with?
Including motive, Mr.
Beebe was shot from your client's terrace.
While Walker was in palm Springs.
We found a rifle mount behind the water cooler in his house.
Right...
so, let's go back over every murder Since the invention of gunpowder and see how many people Were shot to death with rifle mounts.
I'm betting less than one.
Come on, Johnson.
You had a good crack at Walker, and you blew it.
His alibi will stand, You don't have any evidence to charge him for murder, And he's not gonna talk to you ever again.
And how you're gonna get around all that...
Gosh, I'd love to know.
Letting Caleb go home makes me feel like He could be innocent, I guess.
But I'm not sure I feel safe trying to make up with him.
Well, that's why we're wiring you up, sweetheart...
So you can feel safe.
And the minute you don't feel safe, Just say the word "cinnamon," and we'll be right there.
Cinnamon.
Cinnamon.
Cinnamon.
Now, listen to me, Cherie...
it's very important That you try and reconcile with Caleb, Because if I can't put him away for murder, He probably would get everything in a divorce.
Like, even the house?
Mm-hmm.
But don't you worry about helping me convict him.
Just say you're sorry, And we'll see how he reacts, okay?
Wow.
Okay.
Synonym.
Uh...
synonym.
Cimenin.
Salt!
Just...Say salt.
Okay?
Salt.
Okay.
Okay.
There you go.
Thank you.
Be careful.
Bye, now.
Chief...
I thought you said wiring up Cherie And sending her to her husband Was the most irresponsible thing we could do.
At that moment.
I said, at that moment, It was the most irresponsible thing to do.
Now we're at a different moment.
And I have no other way of getting Walker to talk.
Salt.
Salt.
Salt.
Salt.
Salt.
Caleb?
Caleb, are you here?
Caleb?
Where are you?
Caleb?
I'm sorry about what happened to your boyfriend.
He...
he wasn't my boyfriend, Caleb.
Let me explain.
What's to explain?
You fell in love with somebody else, And it didn't work out.
Now you want to come back home.
Chief, I don't like this.
No, no, no.
She hasn't said the safeword yet.
What happened between Steven and me...
It wasn't love.
What was it?
Just sex?
Is that it?
No.
I mean, yes!
I mean...
I-it was just a moment of weakness.
And I promise you, it will never, ever happen again.
You're right.
It won't.
Aah!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Go!
Go!
Go!
Go!
Go!
Go!
Cimenin!
Cinnamon!
Salt!
Salt!
Salt!
Salt!
Salt!
Let her go!
Let her go, sir!
You, let her go now, or I'm gonna shoot you dead!
I will shoot you dead!
You keep your hands where I can see them!
Okay.
Keep 'em where I can see 'em!
Get up!
Get up!
Put your hands behind your back.
Caleb Walker, you are under arrest For the attempted murder of your wife.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you In a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford an attorney, One will be appointed to you by the state.
Have you heard and understood these rights?
He...
he...
he tried to kill me!
Yes, he did, didn't he?
Oh!
Welcome to what used to be our multimedia center.
Oh!
This is much bigger than our old electronics room.
We could have video-conferenced in here With other divisions, citywide.
But did we need to do that, lieutenant really?
No, but it would have been cool.
We can still use every video feed we have.
And I'll be all set up to record In about five minutes.
What the hell is going on here?
Look...
not everyone is as blindly in love With this new building as you are.
And I...
I have an obligation to the justice system That supersedes your desire to keep this headquarters As some kind of a monument to your...
I meant, what's going on with Caleb Walker?
Oh.
That.
Yes...
that.
You wired his wife and sent her in to speak with him.
That's a clear violation of his Miranda rights.
No, it wasn't.
Cherie was cautioned against asking her husband Anything about the murder.
The wire was only there to ensure her safety.
She was nearly strangled to death.
She'll live.
What are you doing here, anyway?
I thought you had some huge announcement to make.
And I'm trying to make sure It doesn't turn into a list of apologies from major crimes.
It won't.
Lieutenant tao, would you please Bring in the victim's computer?
Detective Sanchez?
Let's pretend the wire was legal.
So far, you've only charged Walker with attempted murder.
Why haven't you arrested him for killing Steven Beebe?
Well, for one thing, he had an alibi.
You didn't care about that yesterday.
Well, now it helps me make my case.
I thought your case was made When Walker tried to kill Cherie.
Yes.
He wanted his wife dead, and he's a killer, But not the type to off Steven Beebe.
T-the gun was fired from his house.
It was, but not by him.
Okay, what am I missing here?
the murder weapon!
And, unfortunately, I still can't find it.
But I do know where it came from.
Detective Sanchez, fill chief pope in, please.
A civilian version of the mllo was stolen from a house Mr.
Beebe remodeled four months ago, sir.
And during that same robbery, The thief also took this microwave oven.
And, from the crime scene, the victim's laptop.
Whenever Mr.
Beebe became infatuated with someone, He changed all the passwords on his computers To his new girlfriend's name.
Cherie.
She had access to the terrace, And her husband was out of town.
But how could Cherie have stolen a rifle From one of Mr.
Beebe's clients Months before she even met him?
No...
the relevant fact here is that the victim Changed the login password on his computer to her name, Which made me wonder...
What had the password been before?
He used my wife's name as a password.
I don't know what you think that's supposed to mean.
Yes, you do, sir.
It means your wife had an affair with your best friend.
That's a lie.
It's not a lie, and you know it's not.
Are you trying to get me to say something bad about Melanie?
That's not legal, for one thing.
And she'd never have had...
Sex with Steven, either.
Not only did she have sex with Steven, She was in love with him.
I mean, would you like me to read aloud From the e-mail account Melanie set up To communicate with Steven behind your back?
Because I could start with the e-mail she sent Warning him that you had found her phone And looked at the text messages they were sending each other.
And, of course, you had access to the Walker house Because you were renovating their terrace.
But most importantly, sir, You knew how fascinated your friend was with the stars.
How excited was he About the lights going out in his neighborhood?
I bet very.
Enough, maybe, to tell you about it?
And then there was the theft You reported a couple months ago From a house you were remodeling.
And among the items listed as having been stolen Was a rifle...
Just like the one used to kill Mr.
Beebe.
No.
We fired all the employees Responsible for taking that stuff.
All that stuff?
We went to a house that you renovated Soon after this so-called "theft," And look at what we found in the kit
Air 14's on.
Go ahead, sir.
Yeah, police 14.
We are over the call.
I've got a body in sight.
He is tied up in the wires on the side of the building.
Looks like he might have some, uh, head wounds...
Possible gunshot wounds, guys.
Air 14 to the units...
I got you there.
Uh, use caution, guys.
I cannot clear the inside.
I have no movement, but we might have additional victims.
We might also have a shooter in the area.
Use caution, gentlemen.
Airship 14, confirm the body is in the wires.
Yeah, Roger that.
He's caught up in the wires outside the house.
Aah!
Air 14 to the guys on the ground...
Just talked to the watch commander.
Be advised...
he wants you to secure the scene And wait for major crimes.
Air 14.
Hey, guys, this is a major crimes case.
Just secure the scene and stand by for them, Per the watch commander.
But I'd rather have Mr.
Beebe's body Brought back up here.
I know, but it's the fire department's call, And they want him lowered to the ground.
fine.
excuse me.
Uh, Mr.
Fireman.
When you finally cut him loose And he slams against the side of the house, Could you cover him with a tarp, please?
I don't want Mr.
Beebe's friends and family To see him like this.
Detective Gabriel, now that our new building Has its own briefing room, would you kindly ask the press To go downtown to meet with commander Taylor?
Um...Yeah.
Sure.
What do you want the reporters to know?
That it doesn't look like a suicide.
So, chief, it seems Mr.
Beebe was shot before dawn While his computer was logging photographs Off the telescope.
Photographs of what?
Can't say.
His laptop goes to sleep after five minutes.
I need a password to log back on, and...I don't have it.
Maybe he was scanning the neighborhood for, uh, heavenly bodies.
Well [chuckles] He has a heavenly body in his...Bedroom...
A Mrs.
Cherie Walker.
And she really wants to leave here Before her husband finds out where she spent the night.
Could you please tell her I'll be down there to speak with her in a minute?
So...
Detective Sanchez, do we have any idea How things played out here?
Three shots, chief...
7.62 NATO rounds.
The first bullet lands here, second one, here, And then one more bullet in the back of the victim's head.
The impact pushes the victim over the railing.
You know, it had to happen fast, So automatic weapon.
Judging from the angles of the impacts, I'd say the shooter was at least 200 yards away, Somewhere over there.
So it looks like our victim Wasn't the only one using a scope.
And it was early in the morning, So it was a night scope, at that.
So, Mr.
Beebe and Cherie have dinner, Go downstairs for a little intimacy, And then, at some point early this morning, Our victim pops back up here To look at...
What?
I have no idea.
I-I didn't even know Steven had gotten out of bed.
Look...
My husband is going to be back in town any minute.
Please.
You...
you have to let me go.
Listen to me, Cherie.
I'm not the adultery police.
The last thing I want to do Is to tell anyone that you were having an affair.
Why don't we take you downtown While we figure out what to tell your husband?
He's away in...?
Palm Springs.
But he's flying back this morning.
Flying?
[ chuckles ] it's a pretty quick drive.
He's helping them build a new control tower for their airport.
He always flies.
And he's gonna be home any second.
And your husband's name is...?
Uh, Caleb.
He's a former army officer, West point graduate, and very, very uptight.
He's not...
he is not going to understand My side of things at all.
A-and does Caleb...Know...
Uh, Mr.
Beebe?
Oh.
Y-yeah.
He hired Steven to rebuild our terrace.
Oh.
So Mr.
Beebe is y-your contractor?
yeah.
And since Caleb travels so much, I dealt with the remodel.
Oh.
And...
and...
and how long Have you and Steven been seeing each other?
About three weeks.
He...Stopped by one night to make sure the grilling station had been set up properly.
And it was dark out.
And Steven was pointing out the stars to me.
Mmm.
This one and that one.
I'm...
I'm bad with names.
Anyway, somehow or other, We...
Started making out.
Aw.
Steven set his alarm for 4:00 this morning.
And y-you j-just slept right through it?
Maybe 'cause of all the champagne.
Which is why I stayed the night.
I-I thought it would be very wrong to drive home drunk.
A responsible choice.
Uh, tell me...
uh, take me back to last night, When you and Steven were upstairs on the roof.
Did Steven, uh, show you anything In his telescope?
Yeah.
We tracked the space station for a while.
Oh, and he showed me what our house looked like upside down.
You can see your house from here?
Mm-hmm.
Okay, chief, that's Cherie Walker's terrace, And you can see the work being done on it.
Oh!
I think Mr.
Walker's home from palm Springs.
And if you want to see how he looks right-side-up, I have it.
Chief.
I say we wire Cherie, send her home right now, See if she and her husband get into it.
He may have just killed her boyfriend.
What if he shoots Cherie, too?
then we solved the case.
at this moment, I cannot think of a more irresponsible suggestion.
No.
I say we ask Mr.
Walker to visit us in our new building.
He can be the first person To try out those horrible new interview rooms.
Oh, my!
Oh, come on.
Not again.
Don't pull on it!
Well, what button are you pressing?!
Just...
just let go, please.
This remote control's worthless.
Okay, so, the screen is not, uh, working yet.
We'll fix that.
But, otherwise, pretty great, right?
We were told that we can't have A coffeemaker or a refrigerator in here.
That's because we have a break room With all that stuff in it right down the hall.
Any other complaints About your new $10 million divisional headquarters?
How about the wall Separating my office from my conference room?
Well, that's...Nothing.
She's a person of interest.
Couldn't agree more.
Well, why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself?
Her husband doesn't know she's here.
Oh, yeah, speaking of her husband, I read him his rights And dumped him in one of the interview rooms.
Good luck getting anything out of him.
Lieutenant Provenza, Your desk from Parker center is city property.
It was supposed to be sold at auction.
It was.
I bought it.
This desk is the longest relationship of my adult life, And I am not giving it up.
And...
These seating assignments are ridiculous.
Hm.
Tao.
Tao!
Uh, have you been able to get past the password On our victim's computer yet?
That would mean "no."
C-chief, w-we still don't know What our victim was looking at when he was shot.
Is there anything else you want us to be working on here?
Yes, lieutenant, there is.
Not all remodels go as planned.
Let's ask some of Mr.
Beebe's employees To compile a list of their clients.
See how...
Popular he was with his customers.
Where am I going?
Thank you.
While we're at it, could someone please find out Why there were no "shots fired" reports In the victim's neighborhood last night?
Thank you.
Chief pope, could you please...
Oh!
For heaven's sakes!
I can't move in this place!
Nothing works around here.
nothing!
Read what it says here, will. "
hard interview room."
And what kind of a message Is that supposed to send to suspects?
Maybe it's supposed to be intimidating.
I decide when to intimidate people around here...
Not the building.
And this...
this!
Who over the age of 10 can sit next to this mirror Without knowing they're being watched?!
We film people all the time.
Yeah, but they don't know that!
And even if they do, they can't see the cameras!
This new building is an obstacle course.
You've been here five days.
Give the building a chance.
You'll adapt to it.
I promise.
And look...
as different as things might seem, The really important stuff hasn't changed at all.
You still have a murder to work out And a suspect you need to interview.
Just stay centered on that, And everything else will fall into place.
You'll be okay.
And all his customers, too!
Oh.
I thought you said this room was empty!
I'm so sorry about that, sir.
I was told this room was vacant.
Who are you, again?
Caleb...Walker.
Caleb Walker.
One second.
It's a Mr.
Caleb Walker!
I don't know about this two-way mirror thing.
I'm so sorry about that, Mr.
Walker.
It's just that we are talking To all of Mr.
Steven Beebe's customers and neighbors, And you are both.
Which is why I said yes When your people asked me to come down here.
Then I was read my rights and put in this room.
Is that how you treat people when they volunteer to help?
No, sir.
It isn't.
So let's just honor your commitment To being a good citizen And rush, rush, rush through these questions.
Um...
Did you hear gunshots last night?
As I told the other guy, I wasn't home last night.
I flew in from palm Springs this morning.
Okay?
You already spoke to someone else?
Where's your form?
Uh...Let's see.
What do we need to ask you?
Walker, Walker, Walker, Walker, Walker, Walker...
Oh!
Here you are... "
walker, Caleb."
Um...
Oh, my. "
oh, my" what?
Well, your paperwork is filed Right next to a "walker, Cherie," Same home address.
Your...
Daughter?
My wife.
Why?
Is she about to tell this guy his wife was cheating on him?
God.
Maybe that's why we call it a "hard interview room."
Well, there's just no easy way to say this.
Uh, while you were in palm Springs, Your wife spent the night with the victim.
D-did you know or suspect That your wife and your contractor were...
Close?
This is why you asked me down here And put me in this room?
To tell me Cherie had an affair?
See my reaction?
Well...
Here it is.
You're gonna pay for this little ambush.
And now I'm telling you And everyone behind that mirror...
I'm not saying another word until I get an attorney.
Here, chief.
Let me take that for you.
Thank you so much, commander.
Ah, so, have you heard From the palm Springs police department?
Did Walker's alibi hold up?
They sent film of him boarding a plane to Burbank Yesterday morning at 7:00 A.M.
But how good an alibi is that?
He could have driven to L.A., shot Mr.
Beebe, Then driven back in time to make his flight.
On another matter, Chief Johnson, do you know that I am The only person of my rank who hasn't been assigned An office in our new building here?
That's not true.
I've been trying to return some case files To commander hood for days, And his name doesn't show up on any floor...
He's dead.
Oh!
Horrible!
That's terrible.
Massive coronary.
And the office he had went to the guy who replaced him.
You know, I've been trying to speak to pope About where I should go, but he seems distracted.
Oh, well, you're welcome to camp out with us for a bit If you need to, commander.
Thanks.
I, uh...I might take you up on that.
Oh, that's fine.
Um, I'll put these upstairs.
Thank you.
Boy, the media just can't get enough of the new building.
I hate it.
Cops aren't happy unless they're miserable.
Ugh.
God.
Look at me.
I...Broke my hand Helping my daughter out of a tree in the backyard, And now, of course, I haven't been to the gym for weeks.
I feel...Fat.
Do I look fat to you?
I have a murder.
Do you want an update?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Tell me everything.
So now I need ballistics to confirm That the murder weapon was fired from the suspect's house Before I can get a search warrant for his residence.
But you must have evidence of some kind.
I mean, you held Walker overnight.
Did you not hear him threaten me?
Oh.
Right.
well, we can't arrest everybody who does that.
Very funny.
And Mr.
Walker has motive.
W-well...
Yeah, but...
Only if he knew his wife was having an affair Before you told him.
He's also a retired military officer And West point graduate, which means he has experience With weapons a-a-and night-vision optics.
What are you doing here?
I'm...
Turning this into an interview room.
Yeah, but this is your visitor conference center.
Look, you told me to adapt to the building.
Chief, I have the different-colored paint chips You asked me to get for the murder room.
I-I'm leaning toward the, uh, "iceberg" or the "royal blue."
although, I have to say, "viridian" is, um...
Awfully nice.
Hmm?
Chief Johnson?
With me.
With me.
I asked you to adapt to the building, Not adapt the building to you.
Do you have any idea how much trouble I've gone through So that you can have this state-of-the-art facility?
Oh, yeah, sure.
You did it all for me.
Look, this place may be state-of-the-art, But it wasn't designed By anyone who understands interrogation.
I'm the resident expert here on making people talk.
Yeah?
Haven't seen much proof of that lately.
That is completely unfair!
This building is...
A poor workman always blames his tools.
Parker center didn't even have caller I.D.
Our new divisional headquarters is at the cutting edge Of every law-enforcement technology in the world.
And I need for you and major crimes To fully embrace this place For at least the next two months.
Why?
There's gonna be A big announcement tomorrow that will make that clear.
In the meantime, you and your division Will behave as though this place were perfect in every way. "
perfect in every way."
really?
Mm-hmm.
What happened to your wall?
Hmm?
There was a wall here last week when we first moved in.
Where is it?
I had to walk out of my office to get to my...
Conference room.
Okay.
Y...
customize your space.
Just stop blaming the building for your failures.
Now, have you figured out yet how Walker knew The victim was gonna be on his roof at 4:00 A.M.?
I'm sorry, chief.
I still have no idea.
I'm sure the pictures from Mr.
Beebe's telescope Are on here...
Somewhere.
I just can't figure out the password.
I've tried birthday combinations, His current and previous addresses, mother's maiden.
I'm now cycling random words Through an application that was given to me...
Tao!
We get the idea, huh?
Uh, chief, Taylor left this, uh, box of your stuff here.
Oh.
And, uh, Flynn has got Cherie In our lovely new break room.
Does she not like her hotel?
Her husband's lawyer called her cell and told her That we ratted her out about the affair.
Oh.
That.
Right.
Um, tell me, lieutenant...
Uh...
Did I approach Mr.
Walker the wrong way yesterday, In your opinion?
Come on, chief.
You know, it's just a guy looking at a two-way mirror, And he saw someone who really needed an attorney.
That's all.
Right.
Is that the murder weapon?
An mllo?
A newer model of it, chief.
Semiautomatic.
Developed for military snipers.
It has the best night scope I've ever seen.
Plus, it has a flash suppressor and a built-in silencer.
Explains why no one heard shots fired On the night of the murder.
Oh, I've had it with this murder board!
Control thingy!
Chief?
Chief!
What is it?!
Oh.
Hello.
These are Mr.
Beebe's employees that you wanted to talk to.
This is Melanie Ryder.
She was his bookkeeper.
This is her husband, Paul...
construction foreman.
They also brought over the victim's client list, like you asked for.
Right.
Well, thank you so much for coming in.
pleasure.
Um, why don't we, um, head into my office?
Right this way.
I'm...So sorry for your loss.
Oh.
My apologies.
We're just moving in here.
Uh, you were saying?
The construction workers are temps.
We rented all our equipment.
So in terms of full-time employees, it's just us.
And Mr.
Beebe's business...
How was it doing financially?
He had enough to make payroll for months, Except...I wasn't authorized to sign checks, So...We can't even pay ourselves.
On the night that Steven was murdered, He went upstairs to his roof And was looking at something through his telescope.
Do you have any idea what that might have been?
Stars?
Steven wasn't a peeping Tom.
Whatever he was looking at, it was in the sky.
I promise.
It sounds like you were close to him.
Since High School.
Best friend.
My boss, too, I guess, but...
Friend first.
Did his customers like him, too?
Usually.
But when you're tearing up someone's home like that, Changing the center of their daily lives, That causes stress.
It does, doesn't it?
What kind of stress are we talking about?
A couple of home thefts.
But that's common at construction sites.
Appliances, tvs...
Our insurance company replaced or paid For everything our clients lost.
Would y'all like some...
Candy?
There's plenty here...
all different kinds, shapes.
Uh, uh, no.
No, thank you, chief.
Sizes.
What about Steven's romantic life?
Did you ever have any complaints about that?
For example?
For example, would you be surprised to hear That the wife of one of your clients Was sleeping in Steven's bed when he was murdered?
Yeah, we knew that he'd become...
Closer than he should have to Cherie Walker.
So maybe her husband knew, too.
Any chance some of the temps Working at the Walker house knew about the affair?
I'm sure they did.
Steven could be...
Extremely demonstrative.
He was like a teenager that way.
You sound a little upset about that.
This happened a lot.
I-I never talked to Melanie About the way Steven behaved with women until recently Because I didn't think she'd be okay with it, really.
You weren't okay with it, either, Paul.
Look, Steven had this one character flaw, okay?
He would get infatuated with someone, And then for a month or two, nothing else mattered.
But it wasn't all his fault.
It wasn't just his fault.
Women fell for him.
What was he supposed to do about that?
Cherie said Mr.
Beebe invited her over to his place To see the space station?
Yeah.
That was part of Steven's routine.
I think he got more use out of the space station Than NASA did.
Okay, you know something?
It is...
it is really infuriating To hear you talk about him In this "boys will be boys" kind of way.
For one thing, you don't even mean it.
And look at where Steven's bad behavior has put us.
We could end up losing everything!
everything.
Chief?
Yes?
Ballistics says the murder weapon Could have been fired from the walkers' house.
I have our search warrant.
Please don't tear up everything we just had built.
It cost a fortune.
Chief, look at this path.
Someone wiped away their tracks.
Think this rifle mount might help?
Found it next to the water cooler.
Hold up the dummy.
Okay, chief.
I have a clear line of sight to our victim's house.
You could make this shot.
With a steady hand and a little practice, Even she could do it.
Not without this weapon.
Gentlemen, let's see if we can find A rifle just like this one on the premises.
And some casings would be great, too.
Uh, maybe you could, like, go on keeping me As a protected witness, too.
Don't you worry, Cherie.
I have no intention of letting you go anywhere.
And you've been having an affair for how long?
Less than a month.
But I-I sort of fell into it because you've been away a lot.
So I want to kill you?
No, not me...
my boyfriend.
Why not the both of you?
Because we were on the roof together for a while, But you waited until my boyfriend was alone To shoot him.
Are you sure my motive is jealousy, Not...Irritation that everything you promised me You would bring to your new office Is still boxed up here?
It's not my fault!
I park blocks from where I work!
And you don't want to kill me, anyway.
You want to kill my boyfriend.
I certainly do.
So...
I don't blame you for the affair.
I have to blame the guy who seduced you.
That's right.
But just so you know, I'd never blame the other woman.
It'd be your fault, 100%.
Who's the killer here...
me or you?
You, you, you.
Sorry.
Go ahead.
Now, jealousy can provoke a crime of passion, But it can also arrive in stages, Like grief...
Shock, denial...
Rage.
Followed by gunshots to the head.
from a sniper rifle I still can't find.
Oh, Joel.
Which indicates planning on my part And that I'm hoping to get away with it.
So, how did I react when you first told me about the affair?
Was I cool, calm, and collected, or...
Did I drag all your boxes into the driveway And put a hose to them?
Oh, don't do that.
I've been faithful to you in every way.
Mm.
Well, I'm the forgiving type, but what about your suspect?
Is he a crime-of-passion kind of guy?
Or...
Was he cold and calculating?
And how did he know Your victim was gonna go back up on the roof at 4:00 A.M.?
'cause somehow he knew What Mr.
Beebe was going to be looking at Through his telescope.
And do you have any idea what that might have been?
The constellation of Sagittarius.
In particular, the milky way.
Hundreds of thousands of stars Crammed together at the center of the galaxy, Shining brightest in north America During the months of July and August.
I-in fact, during a recent g...
Thank you, Dr.
Sagan!
Can you please just scroll through the photos?
We're looking for something incriminating here, Like a picture of Walker aiming a gun at the victim.
How did you find the password to the victim's computer?
Mr.
Beebe's foreman told us Whenever he became infatuated with someone, She took over as the focus of his life.
He changed his password to "Cherie"?
Mr.
Beebe really was a teenager.
So, the milky way is brightest over the next two months, But that's not specific to the night of the murder.
I-it is, actually, 'cause normally, Mr.
Beebe couldn't take pictures from his house Because the ambient light from the city Would wash out the stars.
Right, but because of the recession, L.A.
Has been turning off the streetlights In different neighborhoods two hours before sunrise.
The night of the murder, Mr.
Beebe's neighborhood went dark at exactly 3:58 A.M.
Oh, lieutenant Flynn!
A usable murder board!
Thank you so much!
Let's get everything on it While the other one is still down.
Mr.
Beebe was looking at the stars.
And he changed his password to "Cherie."
What does that mean?
It means I really need to question Caleb Walker again.
Well, you're gonna have to settle For interviewing his attorney, Who's waiting for you in our new break room.
Chief, you mind if I, uh, Park in your conference room for a while?
No, commander Taylor.
Go ahead.
Thank you.
All right, gentlemen.
Gentlemen, now that we have located The center of the galaxy, I really want to find that murder weapon.
Let's run every name connected to this case, Including those of Mr.
Beebe's clients.
See if anyone is registered as owning an mllo rifle.
Thank you so much.
And if someone could please find out Where commander Taylor's office is supposed to be, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
Chief?
Yes?
Break room.
The break room is...
That way.
Oh.
All right, people.
You heard her.
Let's hop to it.
Mr.
Walker wants to go home, And he also wants to talk to his wife.
Cherie asked for protection.
If Mr.
Walker wants to see his wife, He needs to convince me he's not a threat.
Nice try, Johnson.
But Walker is never talking to you again in a billion years.
What do you want to ask him, anyway?
Honestly, Mr.
Murdoch, at this point, I only want to eliminate Mr.
Walker as a suspect.
You're supposed to be one of the greatest liars of all time, And that's the best you can do?
Really?
Hm.
Okay.
So, what makes Walker a suspect to begin with?
Including motive, Mr.
Beebe was shot from your client's terrace.
While Walker was in palm Springs.
We found a rifle mount behind the water cooler in his house.
Right...
so, let's go back over every murder Since the invention of gunpowder and see how many people Were shot to death with rifle mounts.
I'm betting less than one.
Come on, Johnson.
You had a good crack at Walker, and you blew it.
His alibi will stand, You don't have any evidence to charge him for murder, And he's not gonna talk to you ever again.
And how you're gonna get around all that...
Gosh, I'd love to know.
Letting Caleb go home makes me feel like He could be innocent, I guess.
But I'm not sure I feel safe trying to make up with him.
Well, that's why we're wiring you up, sweetheart...
So you can feel safe.
And the minute you don't feel safe, Just say the word "cinnamon," and we'll be right there.
Cinnamon.
Cinnamon.
Cinnamon.
Now, listen to me, Cherie...
it's very important That you try and reconcile with Caleb, Because if I can't put him away for murder, He probably would get everything in a divorce.
Like, even the house?
Mm-hmm.
But don't you worry about helping me convict him.
Just say you're sorry, And we'll see how he reacts, okay?
Wow.
Okay.
Synonym.
Uh...
synonym.
Cimenin.
Salt!
Just...Say salt.
Okay?
Salt.
Okay.
Okay.
There you go.
Thank you.
Be careful.
Bye, now.
Chief...
I thought you said wiring up Cherie And sending her to her husband Was the most irresponsible thing we could do.
At that moment.
I said, at that moment, It was the most irresponsible thing to do.
Now we're at a different moment.
And I have no other way of getting Walker to talk.
Salt.
Salt.
Salt.
Salt.
Salt.
Caleb?
Caleb, are you here?
Caleb?
Where are you?
Caleb?
I'm sorry about what happened to your boyfriend.
He...
he wasn't my boyfriend, Caleb.
Let me explain.
What's to explain?
You fell in love with somebody else, And it didn't work out.
Now you want to come back home.
Chief, I don't like this.
No, no, no.
She hasn't said the safeword yet.
What happened between Steven and me...
It wasn't love.
What was it?
Just sex?
Is that it?
No.
I mean, yes!
I mean...
I-it was just a moment of weakness.
And I promise you, it will never, ever happen again.
You're right.
It won't.
Aah!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Go!
Go!
Go!
Go!
Go!
Go!
Cimenin!
Cinnamon!
Salt!
Salt!
Salt!
Salt!
Salt!
Let her go!
Let her go, sir!
You, let her go now, or I'm gonna shoot you dead!
I will shoot you dead!
You keep your hands where I can see them!
Okay.
Keep 'em where I can see 'em!
Get up!
Get up!
Put your hands behind your back.
Caleb Walker, you are under arrest For the attempted murder of your wife.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you In a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford an attorney, One will be appointed to you by the state.
Have you heard and understood these rights?
He...
he...
he tried to kill me!
Yes, he did, didn't he?
Oh!
Welcome to what used to be our multimedia center.
Oh!
This is much bigger than our old electronics room.
We could have video-conferenced in here With other divisions, citywide.
But did we need to do that, lieutenant really?
No, but it would have been cool.
We can still use every video feed we have.
And I'll be all set up to record In about five minutes.
What the hell is going on here?
Look...
not everyone is as blindly in love With this new building as you are.
And I...
I have an obligation to the justice system That supersedes your desire to keep this headquarters As some kind of a monument to your...
I meant, what's going on with Caleb Walker?
Oh.
That.
Yes...
that.
You wired his wife and sent her in to speak with him.
That's a clear violation of his Miranda rights.
No, it wasn't.
Cherie was cautioned against asking her husband Anything about the murder.
The wire was only there to ensure her safety.
She was nearly strangled to death.
She'll live.
What are you doing here, anyway?
I thought you had some huge announcement to make.
And I'm trying to make sure It doesn't turn into a list of apologies from major crimes.
It won't.
Lieutenant tao, would you please Bring in the victim's computer?
Detective Sanchez?
Let's pretend the wire was legal.
So far, you've only charged Walker with attempted murder.
Why haven't you arrested him for killing Steven Beebe?
Well, for one thing, he had an alibi.
You didn't care about that yesterday.
Well, now it helps me make my case.
I thought your case was made When Walker tried to kill Cherie.
Yes.
He wanted his wife dead, and he's a killer, But not the type to off Steven Beebe.
T-the gun was fired from his house.
It was, but not by him.
Okay, what am I missing here?
the murder weapon!
And, unfortunately, I still can't find it.
But I do know where it came from.
Detective Sanchez, fill chief pope in, please.
A civilian version of the mllo was stolen from a house Mr.
Beebe remodeled four months ago, sir.
And during that same robbery, The thief also took this microwave oven.
And, from the crime scene, the victim's laptop.
Whenever Mr.
Beebe became infatuated with someone, He changed all the passwords on his computers To his new girlfriend's name.
Cherie.
She had access to the terrace, And her husband was out of town.
But how could Cherie have stolen a rifle From one of Mr.
Beebe's clients Months before she even met him?
No...
the relevant fact here is that the victim Changed the login password on his computer to her name, Which made me wonder...
What had the password been before?
He used my wife's name as a password.
I don't know what you think that's supposed to mean.
Yes, you do, sir.
It means your wife had an affair with your best friend.
That's a lie.
It's not a lie, and you know it's not.
Are you trying to get me to say something bad about Melanie?
That's not legal, for one thing.
And she'd never have had...
Sex with Steven, either.
Not only did she have sex with Steven, She was in love with him.
I mean, would you like me to read aloud From the e-mail account Melanie set up To communicate with Steven behind your back?
Because I could start with the e-mail she sent Warning him that you had found her phone And looked at the text messages they were sending each other.
And, of course, you had access to the Walker house Because you were renovating their terrace.
But most importantly, sir, You knew how fascinated your friend was with the stars.
How excited was he About the lights going out in his neighborhood?
I bet very.
Enough, maybe, to tell you about it?
And then there was the theft You reported a couple months ago From a house you were remodeling.
And among the items listed as having been stolen Was a rifle...
Just like the one used to kill Mr.
Beebe.
No.
We fired all the employees Responsible for taking that stuff.
All that stuff?
We went to a house that you renovated Soon after this so-called "theft," And look at what we found in the kit
