how about you take that and I'll handle her?
Yeah, okay.
Thanks.
What's Officer Delko trying to pull?

Let's just say she owes me.
I have no doubt.
That dust lift you collected is pristine.

They've got a nice wear pattern.
Is it unique enough for a match?
All right, I'll tell you what.
Why don't you tell me?

Well, I appreciate you for appreciating me.
What was that all about?
Nothing.
What's up?
This just came for you.
We got a courtesy copy of this motion.
The pool boy's lawyer filed a motion for an expedited Frye hearing on this case.
It's for today.
Yeah, but how can they challenge our procedures?
All of our manuals are in order.
They were reviewed during accreditation.
There's another part to a Frye hearing-- There's another part to a Frye hearing-- the competency of the analyst.
They're coming after me. Personally.
I looked into your public records.
Only a few weeks before you were shot on duty, you were being sued.
Isn't that right, Mr. Delko?
That's correct.
What event led to this suit?
I was helping a civilian in danger.
Can you elaborate for the court?
I can't remember all of the details.
You can't remember a lot of things, isn't that correct, Mr. Delko?
I do have some memory loss, I do have some memory loss, pre-shooting, that's all.
Mr. Delko, your memory lapses are directly related to the brain injury you sustained when you were shot a few months ago. Isn't that right?
You're making it sound like I can't do my job.
Yes, I have some memory loss, but it's specific to the few months before the shooting, and that's all.
Upon your return to work, were you given new proficiencies?
Or was anyone assigned to monitor your casework Or was anyone assigned to monitor your casework since you've returned?
No.
So you just came back and resumed your duties So you just came back and resumed your duties without anyone determining your competency.
I followed every protocol and procedure in this case.
Every single one.
And the crime scene footprint matches your client's shoe.
You saw someone today that you should have been very familiar with, that you should have been very familiar with, and yet did not recognize.
Isn't that true, Mr. Delko?
Yes.
Mr. Delko, isn't this the woman you saw today?
Hey. You.
Yes.
She was the one who originated the lawsuit She was the one who originated the lawsuit which resulted in you choosing to have your wages garnished as settlement?
So I've been told.
Your Honor, please note for the record Mr. Delko has identified Carmen Henney.
So noted.
Your Honor, this criminalist sustained a severe brain injury only four months ago.
He has memory lapses (words repeating): and is currently working major crime scenes without supervision.
I move that any evidence collected by this man be thrown out, specifically, my client's so-called shoeprint, which was processed by Mr. Delko today.

Until then, Mr. Delko, I strongly recommend that you not process any evidentiary material in this matter.

So, desk duty, right?
For now.
The State Attorney won't even admit the shoeprint evidence.
Says he can't afford to have me discredited on the stand.
Eric, we just need to be patient.
The shoeprint evidence is the only thing tying the pool boy to the Lamborghini murder.
He could get away with it.
That will never happen.
Hey.
You know you didn't do anything wrong.
That lawyer's sleazy.
They're using you as a scapegoat for her client.
Everything Wakeman said was true.
There's truth, and then there's relevance.
Look, all I know is we I lost a key piece of evidence that could have convicted the pool boy.
You heard Horatio.
We know he killed Lockwood.
All we have to do is find another way.
No, you need to find another way.
I'm on desk duty.
Looks like a desk to me.
(chuckles) Besides, have you got something?
Besides, have you got something?
Yeah, the pool boy's arm.
Look at the ant bites.
You mean, how they only go halfway up his arm?
That's right.
When we picked him up, he had a short-sleeve shirt on.
The ants-- it would have swarmed farther up his arms.
You think maybe he was wearing something over it when he killed him?

Yeah, divorce law states that whoever gets there first, gets what's inside.
Yeah, well, if my mom got the call, Dad will show up there too, 'cause their lawyers are almost as competitive as they are.

It's just a big misunderstanding.
We've got a bigger problem.
This morning's unplanned activity on the boat ate significantly into your funds.
So, my safe deposit box has been robbed.
And now you're telling me my retainer's gone?
LAWYER: Financially, you've hit bottom.
And unless I receive additional funds, I will have to sever my services.
As will I.
What? Mine, too?
WOLFE: You know, I'm sure the, uh, the state will be happy to provide you with a public defender.
You've got to be kidding me.
Hank.
There is another way.
Transfer ownership of your residence.
LAWYER: It'll be held in a trust pending payment for future services.
Equally divided between myself and Attorney Wakeman.
Wait, what, what does this mean?
Means that either you, uh, hand over the deed to your house as collateral or you're going to spend the night with us.
That's blackmail.
Once I file this paperwork, I'll have you released within the hour.
You guys can take them down to the station.
I'll meet you there, okay?
Do we have to ride together?
Don't worry.
You'll be out within the hour.

That's beautiful.
Skin probably tore off during the scuffle.

It's my jacket.
So?
The victim's flesh is trapped in the zipper of that jacket.
Mr. Warner, this is your chance to help yourself; I suggest you take it.

And then she sold it to somebody else.
I couldn't believe that she did that.
So, yeah, I went after him.

Someone completely cleaned it out, Nathan: Someone completely cleaned it out, Nathan: valuables, cash, bearer bonds.
Well, the bank has security, doesn't it?

Heaven knows my parents are pretty damn good at that.
Who the hell's that?

Looks like there's a good print on it.
Well, that's definitely gonna sink one of the Athertons.
Your prints were on the knife that killed Allen Camden.

I may have fantasized about killing the guy, but I didn't do it.
You made a little blood donation on the knife that was used to kill him.

Oh, the cake knife from my wedding.
I used it the other day to make some steaks.
I cut my finger.
Do you recognize this?
I do.
This is the knife from my wedding.
But of course I touched it.
You were cutting meat with a cake knife.
Yeah.
Guess who's hording my $3,000 steak knives, and she's a vegetarian.
Okay, so you're saying that the print on this knife is from your wedding?
I haven't used it since.
Talk to Hank.
You know the book The Art of War?
It's like a divorce manual. Read up.
I know who did it.
I'll give you three guesses, and they all start with Laurie.
And what makes you so sure, Hank?
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Do you have any proof that Hank could have done this?
I don't need proof.
I was married to the guy for 19 years, so I know what he's capable of.
HANK: Look, are we done here?
I need to find a new lawyer.
(sighs) So?
So Hank denies any involvement at all.
He puts it all on his wife.
And, of course, she puts it all on him.
So we can't hand this into the State Attorney without sorting it out.
Let me see that file for a minute, Eric.
Do you see what I see?
It's the earrings from the safe deposit box.
Yes, they are.
And it would be my guess...
that he's wearing the watch.
DELKO: So they were pretty smart.
Put it on each other and create reasonable doubt.
And now they're arrogant enough to wear the jewelry?
Looks that way.
Excuse me.
This way, please.
I thought we were being released, Lieutenant.
Actually, folks, there's been a change in plans.
Here's what I think happened.
I think your lawyer robbed your safe deposit box, I think your lawyer robbed your safe deposit box, and you killed him for it.
We filed a police report for the stolen items, and you are wearing the earrings.
And you are wearing the watch, Mr. Atherton.
These earrings...
were the first gift that Hank ever bought me.
She gave me this watch on our first anniversary.
I believe the turning point was at the bank.
Our house!
Can you believe this?
We should have just split everything up ourselves like we wanted.
You stole from the safe deposit box.
I didn't.
I did give my lawyer temporary access a few weeks ago, just to itemize possessions.
just to itemize possessions.
Comden ripped us off.
Now he pretty much has everything we own.
On top of what I paid him.
Well, I think he owes us a refund.
Don't you?
I do.
So you paid Allen a visit.
We wanted him to tear up the papers he made us sign and get our stuff back.
Then he walked in on us.
You see it?
No.
He must still have it in his briefcase.
What are we gonna do?
What are you two doing here?
Waiting for you, Allen.
You stole from us, Allen.
Where's the stuff from our safe deposit box?
I was just keeping this until we could divide it up.
I've got the cash, got the bonds.
I've been keeping your jewelry, your watch...
And what's this?
The cake knife from our wedding.
So... who's gonna get it?
You are.
That house was the first thing we bought together.
CAINE: Well, I suggest you cherish the memories.
Because you're never gonna see it again.
Officer.
(car alarm chirps) Hey, Nathan.
Hey, Nathan, you wanted us to find that knife, didn't you?
you wanted us to find that knife, didn't you?
It was the only way that they would stay apart forever.
Too many people got hurt because of them.
