Nine years ago, I witnessed my mother's murder.
I would have been killed, too, if it hadn't been for Vincent.
I was part of an experimental special forces group.
Their goal was to create the perfect super soldier.
They made us stronger, faster, better.
But something went wrong.
They gave orders to kill us all.
Somehow I survived and have been in hiding ever since.
Until a case brought me back to him,
but also alerted the group that experimented on him.
Now we're both in danger.
And our best chance at survival is if we save each other.

I can't go to the warehouse.
He doesn't have a phone, no e-mail.
Yeah, no Twitter, either. You know why?
He can't have any followers.
Everyone needs to believe he's dead,
or he will be for real. Okay, it's just, we said
that we'd be in touch, and I haven't heard
from him in, like, a week, so... What?
He hasn't called? You know they say
if you haven't heard from him in three days,
he's just not that into you.

Do you not understand what's going on here?
He is a genetically-altered...

He's fine.

Uh, we are low

you clearly did.
I am so sorry. No.
No, it's okay. You're making yourself comfortable

Yeah.
Speaking of, Dad wants to know
who you're bringing to the wedding.
He thinks you're not filling out the RSVP card

I'll tell Dad it's in the mail.
I just walked in
on my sister and a friend christening my apartment.
Ooh, I'd charge extra rent for that.
Not quite as salacious. Hit-and-run.
Why is Joe here for a hit-and-run?
Well, it looks like a homicide. Victim's Judge Hanson.
The immigration judge? Yeah, they played squash together.
Hanson helped Joe's housekeeper get her papers.
Hey, it's the Estrogen Squad.
That's still as hilarious
as the first ten times
you said it, Wilansky.
Security cameras missed a direct visual.
Law clerk caught the whole thing.
The driver went straight for him, Lieutenant?
then reversed back over. Thank you.
Sounds personal.
Personal and merciless and gross.
Clerk got the plates.
Car's registered to an Iris Sodkovic.
She's a waitress at the Club Veraban.
Sodkovic. Veraban. They both sound like
they could have been cases of his.
Sodkovic was.
The judge just deported her brother three days ago.
Oh, so maybe a little sisterly payback?
Sounds like it. Address on the registration. We're on it.
Uh, Wilansky and Boggs are point.
Of course, we miss the high profile case.
Nothing personal. They're up in the rotation.
You two, back them up on the arrest.
Blood and tissue along here.
Engine's still warm.
She must have just gotten home.
Hey, we're gonna go around the back.
Uh, we got this. Just call for an impound and sit tight.
Can you believe I had to partner with that guy for two years?
Strange to mow someone over with your own car and not even wipe
the blood off the fender.
Well, maybe Iris is inside getting a paper towel.
It's Vargas. I need a tow and forensics team on standby.
Hey, Tess, isn't that, uh...?
You Iris Sodkovic?
NYPD, stop!
Stop!
Please, please. I have green card.
You're under arrest for the murder of Judge Brian Hanson.
What? He-He's dead?
She said she has a green card. What?
If she murdered a judge,
why would she be worrying about that?
Uh, I'd worry about having a green card, too.
Prison in Bosnia probably makes prison
here feel like a five-star resort.
Yeah, but it seemed like she didn't even know he was dead.
Look, as much as I'd like for Wilansky to actually have
to work to close this thing, it feels like a slam dunk.
Driver reversed over the judge.
We assumed it was to finish the job, but maybe
he knew there were cameras, and he wanted the plates seen
so that he could frame Iris.
Frame Iris?
Cat, this is not our case.
Even though we're the ones who took her down.
I'm gonna remind him.
Iris?
I'm Detective Chandler.
We sort of met earlier today.
Where were you
at 4:00 this afternoon?
Walking home.
Was there anyone with you? No.
Is there anyone who can corroborate?
Was there a witness, someone who saw you?
I... I can't.
Why not?
I can't help you if you don't talk to me.
Okay.
(siren wailing
Heather?
So you and Catherine have decided to keep in touch?
Carefully.
So now
I'm your carrier pigeon, passing notes
like I'm back in high school.
What?
Apparently not tonight.
She's here? So "carefully" means
not careful at all. Got it.
JT, come on.
Hey.
I got your note.
What note? You already wrote her back?
Vincent, how do you know? I saw her.
Where? When?
Who?
Around 4:00 on 123rd.
123rd-- that is her apartment.
That's near school.
But seriously, who are we talking about?
A suspect in a case.
That's what you're in touch about?
You gonna start going on stakeouts?
No.
I saw Catherine arrest
a woman who was innocent, okay.
I thought she should know, that's it.
Wait. You-you saw me arrest her?
And earlier, at the school...?
Have you been following me?
After the attack last week, I've kept tabs, yeah.
Okay.
We're all gonna die.
I'm getting a Tums.
Um... well, did you see what she was doing?
She was walking, alone.
Um, she had a paper bag.
What was in it? Where-where was she going?
I don't know, okay? I'm not Batman.
I don't watch over the citizens of New York.
No, it's just... it's frustrating. I had this feeling
she was innocent, and now you've confirmed it.
You're a witness,
but you can't come forward. No,
I can't, okay? I can't get involved.
Exactly, so stop writing notes.
Thanks for the confirmation.

Medical Examiners Association's
paying me a visit.
Turns out that my old assistant
wasn't filing the paperwork the right way.
Is it a big deal?
Well, they've been known to bring down the hammer,
send an M.E. off to--
what's the American version of Siberia?
Well, I hope that doesn't happen.
What would I do without you?
I'm sure you'd survive.
What's up?
Uh, Hanson case.
Did CSU's come in with any prints or hair
or any odd personal items from the vehicle?
Nope.
Guess it's low-priority with the perp already in custody.
But we're waiting for DNA results from the car.
What about the autopsy on the judge?
He was just here. Bloody mess.
You know what two tons of steel can do to a man's insides?
But now look-- so clean, you can see yourself.
How about seeing anything that might suggest a different theory
or suspect?
Is this his stuff?
What are you doing? I am

Aren't they Wilansky's I's and T's?
V&P Valet. 17 East 34th Street.
That's the same block that Iris worked at.
What are you thinking?
Well... maybe Iris and the judge were connected
by more than just her brother's deportation case.
I take it you're not the pizza guy.
Not that he would ever bring pizza in here.
Who was bartending two nights ago?
Sam. He's right over there.
What can I do for you?
Your valet's not here yet.
Do you guys use, uh...
this company? We do.
Do you recognize him?
The judge who was recently murdered?
Yeah, he's been in here a couple of times.
He was murdered? Hit-and-run.
The stub was in his pocket.
Wow. Um...
let me get the owner for you. Yo, Dane!
Yeah? Up front!
Please.
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.
So, where are you, 'cause I'm about to puke.
Yeah, don't do that.
Thank you. I'll let myself out?
I am at Iris's apartment.
What?!
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.
Judge Hanson wasn't an extra large.
Wilansky's coming over to gloat.
I got to go.
Did you watch and learn?
It's okay, it's okay.
I'm a police detective. You're safe.
My name's Catherine.
What's your names?
Do you speak English?
M-My name is Cena.
She's Mila.
♪
What now?
Okay, I know you don't get involved,
but I-I need your help, just this once.
It's about the case, Iris... I'm not Batman,
remember? 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.
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.
Stethoscope. Yeah.
Okay, I'm gonna need her to lean forward.
Okay.
Deep breaths, okay?
Okay.
Thank you.
Take this.
103.
I'm gonna have to get ahold of JT.
You have a phone?
Hey.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Okay, look, listen,
you got a pen?
Okay, write this down before you react, 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?
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.
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.
I know for a fact that this woman is innocent, Tess, I do.
You're suspended and I'm on desk duty.
You need to drop this now.
Hey.
Shh.
I didn't mean to scare you. 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?
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.

Truly you saved that girl's life,
but I've got to go by the book to see this through.
I will take it from here.
First of all, I am sorry.
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.
Oh. Our warrant's working.
This is Vargas.
We've got the location of Sam's phone.
123rd. He's at Iris's apartment. He's going after the girls.
We have to tell Joe.
What the...?
What the hell is going on? I thought she was suspended.
Well, looks like you took down the wrong perp, Wilansky.
All right, Unit One Charlie.
One Charlie. Looking for? White male
mid-20s, medium build, brown hair.
Presumed armed, definitely dangerous.
He might have two little girls as hostages. All right,
let's move. Move.
And remember the knife tattoo on his arm.
Move. Go, go, go.
You better be right.
Chandler.
Hey. It's me.
I got the guy who did this. What?
Don't worry,
he's conscious, okay?
I'll hold him till you get here.
Where are you?
I'm at Iris's.
JT has the girls.
Okay. We're already here.
You need to get out now.
Go, go, go!
Go left!
Clear!
Hey, this place is empty. What's up?
They must have heard us. They're somewhere in the building.
All right, fan out! Let's go, let's go!
Let's sweep the rest of the building!
Stop!
He's out, he didn't see you!
Vincent, stop!
We need him alive. I prove that he's guilty,
Iris goes free.
Stop.
Vincent.
Vincent, those girls are okay because of you.
You saved a child's life yesterday.
What the hell?
How'd you disappear and suddenly have the guy?
That's female energy for you.
We placed the perp in Iris's car
at the time of impact
thanks to DNA material,
which you asked Evan to test,
even though it wasn't your case.
We were backup. 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.
Nice work.
I spoke with a caseworker at the State Department.
I explained to them that your sisters are key witnesses
in a high-profile prosecution.
He thinks we can get them asylum.
I didn't want to expose them, Iris, truly, but...
I didn't have a choice.
You saved their lives.
