"You, uh, do you remember this guy?" "Yeah." "It's, uh, Iris's guy." "What about him?" "He's dead." "And Iris is accused of murdering him." "Were they in a..." "relationship?" "Uh..." "I don't know if you'd call it that." "I mean... she worked him, but..." "Because of her brother's case?" "She couldn't get over the fact that she'd gotten a green card and he'd been denied." "Hey, look, I don't want to get anyone into any trouble, but, uh, I did see him and Iris have an argument by the bathrooms a couple of nights ago." "I don't know what it was about, but she was pissed." "After her brother's ruling." "Okay, so the press were all over the Hanson case, and I swear Wilansky got Botox'd just for photo ops."

"Wilansky will kill you if he finds out." "I went by the club that she works at." "Turns out her and Hanson were in a relationship." "Okay, so now she has two motives to kill him:" "her brother's case or some lovers' quarrel." "Or... maybe it's a third party." "Maybe an ex-boyfriend or one of the judge's old girlfriends?" "This isn't our case." "Yeah, but I don't think she did this." "Why, 'cause she's a cute girl?" "You don't take her seriously as a criminal, just like Wilansky doesn't take us seriously as detectives." "Tess, I am not the enemy." "And... there's a men's extra large shirt in here."

"You say that, but... those six cases I found of you saving people..." "Yeah, I go out at night sometimes." "If I stumble across something, I will help out, but I don't go looking for it." "Iris has two little sisters, and one of them is sick-- she can hardly breathe." "So take her to the ER." "They're here illegally." "I take them to the ER, they'd get reported, they'd get sent home." "I can't, okay?" "I can't be seen." "I would be putting you, me and JT at risk." "Okay, but you won't be seen, because they're in hiding, too." "Vincent, please, you're a doctor." "I was a doctor." "I'm sorry." "Do you remember what that was like?" "Helping people?" "Just this once." "(siren wailing in distance)" "CATHERINE:" "Cena?" "Mila?" "It's Catherine." "I brought a doctor to see you." "It's okay." "He's here to help." "Um..." "I'm just gonna sit right here, okay?" "I need you to put this under your tongue." "It's okay." "It's okay, see?" "See?" "Yeah, it's okay." "It's okay."

"I'm gonna need a nebulizer, .05% albuterol." "100 milligrams cephalexin q.i.d. for ten days." "Yeah, and... oral prednisone, 7.5 migs." "Get them from the university lab, okay?" "There you are." "Yeah." "I just..." "Don't tell me you went to the impound, too." "No." "Wait, did you?" "Yeah, turned out MEA's quite thorough." "They kicked me out of my own lab for the past eight hours, so with no place else to go..." "Did you look at Iris's car?" "No." "I went to the impound to check out last year's models." "Okay, did you find anything?" "Some dandruff, some dirt and 13 different sets of partials." "That's a lot of people in her car." "Well, she worked at a high-end club." "She probably got valet service." "But you know Iris confessed, right?" "She did what?" "(door opens)" "Iris, why did you confess?" "Tomorrow is arraignment." "The lawyer says plea is best." "Ten years instead of life." "Ten years?" "!" "You're innocent." "I found your sisters." "I know about Mila and Cena." "What did you do with them?" "They're safe." "No one else in my department knows about them." "Mila was sick when I found her, but a doctor friend is taking care of her." "They're who you were coming home to when the judge was killed, right?" "They're your alibi, but you can't tell anyone?" "If they come here, they will be put back to Bosnia." "Probably killed." "There is no alibi." "I did it." "I know you didn't." "But whoever did knew you'd make a great suspect." "Who knew about you and Judge Hanson?" "That we were friends?" "Your coworkers thought it was a little more than that." "Who" " Dane?" "I never slept with the judge." "I just make friends, trying to stop him from deporting my brother." "How'd you know I was talking about Dane?" "We were together." "I told him nothing was going on with the judge, but he didn't believe me." "He was very angry." "You think he did this?" "Which means you didn't." "(door opens)" "I need you." "I have a signed confession that's now tainted because a cop repeatedly spoke to a perp behind the back of counsel." "Iris was confused." "Cat, is there something that you're not telling us?" "I haven't found anything definitive yet." "This fishing expedition ends here." "You're home till further notice." "Need your gun and badge." "And, Vargas, you knew about this, too?" "She didn't do anything, Joe." "Lieutenant." "And she knew enough about what you did." "Desk duty, rest of the month." "You're both dismissed." "Tess." "I am so sorry." "It's just, uh, Iris, she..." "You're still on this?" "Look, believe me," "I wish Wilansky got this wrong, but this is how it works and these are the rules, so next time you decide to take a swan dive off the cliff, don't forget, you're dragging me with you." "No, I know that, of course I do." "Do you?" "'Cause I know you carry a lot of baggage, Cat-- questions about your mom-- and you disappear inside yourself, and I get that, but lately you've been off the rails-- going to Iris's apartment without telling me," "going M.I.A. for the night."

"You are lucky" "I don't have my gun." "What happened?" "Are the girls okay?" "The day of the hit-and-run, the girls saw a man come into Iris's apartment and take her keys." "What?" "They used Iris's car to kill the judge?" "VINCENT:" "Yeah, they said they couldn't see who he was through the vent, but they said he had a knife in his arm." "Probably meant hand." "I wonder if it was her boss." "They were a couple, but when I talked to him, he acted like she was just another employee." "In fact, he was jealous of the judge." "So you think he did this?" "Yeah, but there's nothing I can do about it." "I'm suspended." "I have no badge, I have no gun." "I can't even get a warrant to find her keys, but I don't need one to get into Dane's club." "Maybe I could find Iris's car keys." "Wait, you're gonna go alone without your partner?" "I'll be fine." "Hey, uh... thank you for coming through."

"So you thought you would beat the information out of him?" "This, this is why I don't get involved." "You're right, I shouldn't have asked you, but you're the one who left me the note." "So, what are you saying, that I shouldn't have?" "No, I just..." "I can't figure out how this is supposed to work." "I can't go to your loft, but you can just show up at my work." "I can't call you, but JT has your phone number." "It's a burner for emergencies." "Oh, my God." "Tess was right." "I have swan dived so far off the cliff." "This guy is unconscious."

"I will never treat you like a non-partner again." "You could ditch me for a week and still be the best partner I ever had." "All right, what's going on?" "Okay, you remember how Iris-- she didn't seem like she knew anything about the judge being murdered?" "That's because she didn't." "She was going home to see her two little sisters." "Why didn't she just say so?" "They're here illegally, she's got them in hiding." "She thinks they're gonna get deported just like her brother did, and I think that they were smuggled here by Sam." "Bartender guy?" "Yeah, and apparently coyote guy." "In '09 he was brought up on charges of smuggling people in from Eastern Europe." "Guess who the presiding judge was." "Hanson." "So this was some kind of retribution?" "More like insurance." "So Sam panics." "He sees Iris cozying up to the judge who almost put him away." "He gets nervous that she's giving him up in order to get favorable treatment for her family, so he wants to shut them both up." "He kills the judge and he frames Iris." "And we prove this how?" "Sam's nasty bar spittoon." "I snagged it from the club tonight." "I'm banking that Evan will find DNA that matches one of the DNA samples found in the car. (phone ringing)" "Oh."

"WILANSKY:" "What the hell?" "How'd you disappear and suddenly have the guy?" "That's female energy for you."

"Which turned out to be chewing tobacco, which matched the chewing tobacco that you stole from a club that you entered without a warrant or a badge." "Okay, but on the other hand, we tracked Sam to Iris's apartment with an actual warrant..." "Hold on." "And based on protocol, with these infractions, she should be demoted... to garbage." "Is that code for something?" "It's code for garbage." "Come on, Joe, she broke the case." "She broke a lot of rules, but on behalf of my friend Judge Hanson..." "I'm glad you did." "But as head of this department, rule is..." "I got to give you desk duty." "One week." "(softly):" "Nice work." "I spoke with a caseworker at the State Department."
