Oh, God. Shoot me now.
I'd rather not.
What's up?
Anson Klemp has just been promoted to captain.
He's gonna run the 9-2.
Who's Anson Klemp, and why hasn't he changed his name?
We went to the academy together.
Ohhh. And he's your sworn Nemesis.
- No. He was my friend. - So he's grossly underqualified?
No. He's great.
- So, then, what's the problem? - Me.
We started together, we graduated the same year,
and he's gonna be captain, and I'm just...
The best homicide detective in the city?
No. Falling behind.
You know what you've got? Patterson syndrome.
Hm. Patterson syndrome?
Yeah, every time I write a bestseller,
Patterson writes like six.
It's maddening. But comparing myself to him
does not make me write any faster.
I guess I just thought that I would be
in more of a leadership position by now.
I don't know.
Maybe I shouldn't have left the A.G.'s office in D.C.
Except you didn't want to compromise yourself to play their game.
Well, I feel like
maybe there's something more I should be doing.
Hey, Castles. Our victim is one Henry Graham.
Took a single GSW to the chest around midnight.
So someone must have heard the gunshot.
- Do we have a witness? - As a matter of fact, yes...
that jogger right there.
Did he see the murder?
No, but the killer was still looking
through the Vic's pockets when he jogged up.
- I'm surprised he didn't get shot, too. - So is he.
She had the drop on him but told him to run...
probably set a personal best.
Our killer's a she?
Asian female, mid-30s, well-dressed.
Doesn't fit the profile of a typical mugger.
Neither does the stuff
that she took from the Vic's pockets.
She made off with his cellphone and his keys
but left his wallet and 200 bucks in cash.
So this was more than just a late-night stick-up.
Why don't we get the witness together with a sketch artist?
Already in the works.
And to hear the jogger tell it,
this chick was cool as can be.
She may be a pro.
Does raise the question...
what was Henry doing here so late at night?
Waiting for someone. CSU found cigarette butts
that match the pack in his pocket.
And if he was up to no good,
it wouldn't be his first time.
He did a nickel at elmira for aggravated assault...
got out a few years ago.
He's still got his work uniform on,
so let's see if anyone at go quick towing
- knows how he wound up here. - Let's go.
He wasn't on the job, I can tell you that.
We didn't have any pickups out that way,
so I don't know what he was doing there.
Well, who would?
Did he have any family?
He doesn't.
He didn't even have a girl, I don't think.
Poor guy.
I don't know. I just... I just can't get over it.
Uh... Henry was my top driver.
Just a... just a real stand-up guy.
- Even though he had a record? - So do I.
There's not a lot of jobs out there for ex-cons.
But Henry, he, uh, he was out of the life,
so I gave him a shot, and I never regretted it.
Did he have problems with anyone that you know of?
Oh, yeah. Henry got threatened every day.
He did? By whom?
All kinds of people.
Waving bats, knives, guns... you name it.
Wait a minute. I thought that he was a tow-truck driver.
Specializing in vehicle recovery.
Henry was a repo man?
And folks aren't that excited
when we take their cars away.
So, these threats that he got...
did any of them ever come from an asian woman?
Not that I can remember.
But listen, detective,
some of the people we deal with are pissed off,
but they're mad at the banks, not us.
I mean, I can't believe
anyone would hunt Henry down to kill him.
Still, we'll need a list of the repos.
Yeah. Sure.
Wait a minute.
Maybe this has something to do with
what happened yesterday at lunch.
What do you mean?
Well, he went out to lunch like he normally does,
and when he came back, he was all shook up.
- What about? - He wouldn't say.
He left mid-shift, without a word.
And he left the yard, didn't come back.
That was the last I ever saw him.
And where exactly did he go to lunch?
I don't know,
but there was something else he did that was strange.
My alarm guy told me that Henry was asking
for access codes to a 2013 X5 a few days ago.
What was strange about that?
We don't have any 2013 X5s on our repo list.
So, I spoke to Henry's colleagues.
None of them knows where he went to lunch yesterday
or why he was asking for the X5 codes.
Maybe our repo man was actually stealing cars.
He clearly had the skill set.
Yeah, but from everything that everyone said,
including Henry's former parole officer,
he was just a stand-up citizen.
Yeah, that's because he was concealing
his car-stealing ways.
Even his boss said he was a very private guy.
So, unbeknownst to anyone, Henry sets his eyes on an X5.
He gets the alarm codes.
But, in a fateful error,
he steals the X5 belonging to this woman...
a triad assassin.
An assassin?
Really? Again?
Come on. This time, it fits.
How does it fit?
He steals her car, and she kills him?
Why doesn't she just put in an insurance claim
and call it a day?
Ah!
Because it wasn't about the car.
See, when Henry stole the vehicle,
he took something of value from the inside.
That's what the assassin was trying to retrieve
from his pocket.
And said stolen item was...?
Cold fusion technology.
A genetically engineered super-virus.
Some secret unpublished "Harry Potter" manuscript.
Actually, one thing that you said does make sense.
One thing?
The X5 might have something to do with Henry's death.
You know what... I'm gonna call auto theft
and see if there are any reported stolen X5s recently.
- From a triad assassin. - She's not a triad assassin.
We don't know that.
This is just so terrible. Henry was such a decent man.
I wish all my tenants were like him.
I'm sure you do.
Ma'am, have you seen this woman before?
Well, I... I believe I have.
Here, in this building?
Why, yes.
We passed each other in the hall.
She was headed for Henry's unit.
When was this?
Oh, about 10 minutes ago.
- 10 minutes ago? - Uh, maybe less.
Does she have something to do with what happened to Henry?
Ma'am, what's Henry's apartment number?
Uh, 517.
Bedroom.
Now hand me your backup weapon.
Here's his backup.
Drop it.
S07E017 Hong Kong Hustle
sync and corrected by ninh www.addic7ed.com
You better think this through.
We're cops.
So am I.
Hong Kong P.D.
Now, who's the lead investigator on this case?
You're awfully far from Hong Kong,
Chief Inspector Zhang.
Are these handcuffs truly necessary?
You attacked two NYPD detectives.
Only because I had no idea they were police.
So, you mean to tell me she got both your guns?
Hey, you... you weren't there.
She's fast.
I mean, like, crazy fast.
Please. She ain't all that.
And yet she got both your guns.
It says here that you are a part of
a U.S./Chinese organized-crime task force
based in San Francisco.
What are you doing in New York?
Detective, let's cut to the chase, shall we?
I am not the murderer.
So, do you always make a habit of finding dead bodies
and relieving them of their belongings?
I know Henry.
Rather, I knew him.
How?
It's complicated.
Was he involved in one of your investigations?
He was a friend.
We hadn't seen each other in years.
We made plans to meet here in the city,
and then he called me and told me he couldn't come.
He sounded frightened.
I asked him what was going on,
and he told me he was in trouble.
- What kind of trouble? - He wouldn't say.
I called back. He never answered.
I was worried, so I flew out right away.
How did you end up at the crime scene?
When Henry didn't return my calls,
I had a colleague in San Francisco ping his cell.
So you found him in the park?
When I got there, he was already dead.
So I took his phone and his keys,
and I began to investigate.
And why didn't you call us from the crime scene?
'Cause I didn't want to waste my time
having this conversation.
My friend has been murdered.
I have to find out who did it.
No. I do.
Detective, I just got off with the TSA.
Chief Inspector Zhang's flight didn't arrive until midnight.
Which is when Henry was killed.
She couldn't have done it.
Now may I go?
As long as you promise that you're not gonna work this case.
That's a promise I cannot make.
And you no longer have cause to hold me.
Chief Inspector, in the interest of all parties,
perhaps you should consider working with us.
I would like my personal effects returned to me now.
Take a peek at this.
It's Zhang's personnel file.
She's more than just some cop.
Wait a minute, that U.S./Chinese task force...
she's not just on it.
She's running it?
Wow.
Commendations, citations.
Oh, my gosh, she is impressive.
Oh, sure, on paper.
What about the way she schooled Ryan and Esposito?
Was that just on paper?
Captain.
I've been thinking about your proposal,
and I do see the advantage of us working together.
Does the offer still stand?
Yes.
Okay.
Then let's start with this.
You had mentioned that before Henry died,
he had gone to lunch and returned upset.
I found that receipt in his pocket.
From the Jade Temple Restaurant in Chinatown.
It's time-stamped yesterday afternoon.
Why don't the three of you check it out,
see if there's anything about his lunch
- that can explain why he got killed. - Okay.
Hi. I'm Castle.
We're partners.
Act... we're also married.
- Interesting arrangement. - Yeah.
This is gonna be fun...
this little threesome here.
Investigatively speaking.
I don't want to... didn't mean to...
I'm not trying to imply that...
- Quit while you're behind. - Yeah.
Oh, thank you. Mm-hmm.
Hello. Table for three?
Uh, no, not today. Detective Beckett, NYPD.
You are the police?
I'm Mimi Tan. This is my establishment.
What can I do for you?
We'd like to ask you some questions
about one of your customers.
Oh. Not one of my customers... he's my number-one customer.
Henry eats here every day.
Not anymore. He was murdered.
This is tragic.
When Henry was here yesterday,
did he say that anything was wrong
or that he was having problems with anyone?
No, I don't think so.
Her.
Was she working here yesterday?
Suyin? Yes.
- I'll go talk to her. - I'll go talk to her.
What if I just stay here and wait?
Uh, yeah.
Uh, Suyin?
Detective Beckett, NYPD.
We'd like a word.
I don't want trouble.
No, no, you're not in any trouble.
We need you to ask you a few questions.
I know nothing. I must work now.
She knows more than she's letting on.
It's like she's afraid to talk to us.
Us, or perhaps you.
Her dialect indicates that she's from the Chongqing region.
The police corruption is rampant there.
Let me talk to her in her native language...
put her at ease.
Um...
Did she just take over your interview?
Yeah.
Okay, she's more than qualified, Castle.
Did you know that she was the youngest officer
to become chief inspector?
She has cleared more murders
than anyone in Hong Kong P.D. history.
Okay, so she's good at her job.
Not just that.
Take a look at her husband.
Action-movie star.
Yes, well, I'm a highly paid novelist.
What about the kids?
Cute, huh?
Ohhh.
I've seen cuter. That's...
Please, tell me you're not comparing yourself to her.
Oh. We're...
She said there was an incident yesterday.
A customer refused to order lunch.
He said he was waiting for someone.
Apparently, he just checked his e-mail until Henry arrived.
He joined Henry at his table, and an argument broke out.
Then he finally left, but not before he told Henry,
"you cannot walk away from this."
Does Suyin know what they were fighting about?
No, she didn't get a good look at him.
She said he was white, 40s,
average height, average weight...
Is there a password required for the wi-fi?
No. Wi-fi is free.
What are you thinking?
If the man connected his phone to the wi-fi,
the router would have logged his unique M.A.C. address.
We can use that and track his name.
Did you see that?
She might've just broken this case with a wi-fi sign.
Yes, yes, I'm impressed. Are you happy?
No, Castle.
She's just like me...
only better.
So, I traced all the devices that used the restaurant's wi-fi
during the time Henry was there.
Only one is owned by a man
fitting our suspect's description.
Michael Glassman.
Good. We should send a copy of this over to Suyin.
I already did, and she positively identified him
as the one Henry was having the argument with.
Does Glassman have a criminal record?
Actually, quite the opposite.
Wait a minute. Is this right?
What? Who is this guy?
He's an FBI agent.
Agent Glassman?
Hi. I'm Detective Beckett.
- This is Mr. Castle. - Hello.
Thank you for coming in.
Well, we're on the same team, right? Law-enforcement synergy.
So, what can I do for the NYPD?
We're looking into the death of Henry Graham,
and we were hoping that you could fill in the blanks.
Henry Graham?
I'm afraid that name doesn't ring a bell.
Uh, this man right here.
You don't recognize him?
No, I don't.
Agent Glassman, we know that you had contact with our victim.
You were seen with him yesterday at the Jade Temple Restaurant,
together, having a heated argument.
Somebody gave you a bum tip.
I was never at any Jade Temple.
Your phone was,
along with someone who bore a striking resemblance to you.
And then, hours later, Henry ended up dead.
Where were you at midnight last night?
Trust me, Detective Beckett, you do not want to go there.
Well, so much for lawenforcement synergy.
He out-and-out lied about knowing Henry.
He's in this thing up to his bolo tie.
Only we don't know what this is.
You know, I'm gonna see
if Captain Gates can talk to the bureau.
Maybe she can shake some info loose.
How about you? Do you have anything?
Uh, yeah, but I'm not quite sure what to make of it yet.
The lab found a phenolformaldehyde resin
on the bottom of Henry's shoes.
Formaldehyde? Like for embalming?
Yeah, for embalming, making circuit boards,
treatment of fabrics... all kinds of stuff.
They think that he must have been somewhere where that chemical was used
right before he died.
Maybe he stepped in the formaldehyde
right before he stole the X5.
He didn't Jack any X5. I checked.
There were no x5s reported stolen.
So what was he doing with those alarm codes?
And if Henry left work at 2:00 p.m.,
showed up dead at midnight,
he's unaccounted for for 10 hours,
so where was he during that time?
Well, he didn't own a car, so I'll check the activity
on his Metro and credit cards, see if he went anywhere.
I'll circle back with his neighbors, see if they saw him.
Okay. Call me if you guys find anything.
- Yeah. - Whew.
For a second there, I thought
I was gonna get stuck doing thankless grunt work tonight.
Castle.
We're standing right here.
What?
Oh. Tonight.
Sorry, um, I forgot to tell you...
I'm going out with Zhang tonight.
- You are? - Mm-hmm.
Is, um... you t-think that's a good idea?
Yeah. I mean, we're working together.
We should get to know each other better.
Anyway, don't wait up for me, okay?
Bye.
Take a seat, Castle.
Let me tell you a little something about life.
You see, what you did there, Castle... rookie mistake.
What'd I do?
You tried to stop her.
I mean, Jenny... she's got her girls' nights,
and I'm... I'm totally fine with that.
You see, in a marriage,
you have to give your partner some space.
Okay, Ryan.
Uh, this is my third marriage.
I think I know what I'm doing.
Rrrrrrrichard...
Why don't you want her to go?
Guys, it's no secret that Zhang is accomplished
and that Beckett admires her for that.
E...
Even envies her.
So if they hang out,
I'm just afraid it's gonna be some weird competition.
Come on. Beckett would never do that.
Yeah, bro. This is Beckett we're talking about.
It's a girls' night out.
It won't be a competition.
Not bad.
Thanks. I'm, uh, a little rusty, though.
Me too.
I haven't been to a range in six months.
That's after six months?
It's hard to find time to practice
with my duties in Hong Kong, San Fran, the Hague.
Wait a minute. You work at the Hague?
With the International War Crimes Tribunal.
Trust me, it's not as glamorous as it sounds.
But when you reach the peak of a mountain,
it's time to scale another one, right?
Yeah.
So, uh, team leader, a wife, a mom...
isn't it a struggle to do it all?
The trick is to not struggle, but to find balance.
The moment you think it's a struggle,
that's when you fall.
You know, there's one thing that doesn't add up, though,
I mean, given who you are...
How Henry and I know each other...
because we come from such different worlds.
Exactly.
My parents worked as house staff
for the Chinese mission to the U.N.
I ended up in public school, here in the city.
I didn't speak much English, got bullied for it.
Henry stood up for me.
I couldn't stop what he became,
but we never stopped being friends.
Somehow, the fact that you did this
makes you even more attractive.
Yeah? Well, tell it to Zhang.
This is her target?
And she has 10 others just like it.
Oh.
Well, so she's a good shot. Big deal.
She's good at everything!
She's got an incredible career,
movie-star husband, perfect kids.
She does it all, she has it all,
and to top it off, she's gorgeous.
Yeah, she is.
Wait a minute. You think she's gorgeous?
I...
was just agreeing with you.
Okay, but did you think it before I said it?
No...?
Oh, my God. Castle, I haven't felt like this since I had pimples.
I'm insecure.
You're not insecure.
Wait... if I'm not insecure,
then why'd you say what you just said?
Ah... okay, look, you're doing it again.
It's Patterson syndrome.
I knew it was a bad idea for you to go out with her.
No, no. Castle, I just wanted to see what made Zhang tick...
you know, how she achieved what she did,
so maybe that could help me move forward.
Kate, you don't need her help. You're doing just fine.
Yeah, but when you reach the peak of one mountain,
isn't it time to scale another one?
That sounds like something Zhang would say.
- Are you quoting her? - No.
Look, you're idealizing Zhang.
You're comparing yourself
to a version of her that doesn't even exist.
She is a human, like the rest of us, flaws and all,
not some infallible supercop
who swoops in every time to save the day.
Hey. Zhang just got a lead that could crack this case.
You were saying?
I was scanning surveillance video
of Henry's apartment complex,
trying to piece together the timeline on the day he died,
when I saw this.
That's Henry.
Note the time... 2:37 p.m.
Meaning after Henry left the repo yard, he went back home.
Except he didn't stay.
Five minutes later, he left his apartment complex.
Watch what happens next.
Before he was killed, Henry Graham was kidnapped.
Tech was able to pull the numbers off the license plate.
The S.U.V. Is registered to a William "Billy" Hicks.
According to my buddies at narcotics, this guy's hard-core.
Every year, he makes their "top 20" list for drug dealers.
But they've never been able to nail him...
mostly because he has other guys do his dirty work.
I know this man.
Billy Hicks started Henry on a life of crime,
hired him as an enforcer.
He's the reason that Henry went to prison.
Well, then he's probably the reason Henry was murdered.
But Henry hasn't worked for Hicks in... in almost 10 years.
Why would Hicks come after him now?
Maybe Henry knew too much...
about Hicks and the organization.
That's probably why Glassman approached him at the Jade Temple...
the FBI is building a case against Hicks.
And Glassman wanted Henry to roll.
You know, if Henry refused,
that explains why Glassman and he fought.
It doesn't matter if he refused.
If a man like Hicks thought Henry was talking to the FBI,
he would stop at nothing to protect his empire
and eliminate the threat.
Where do we find Hicks?
He operates out of a gym he owns in queens...
O'Donnell's boxing.
All right. Let's go.
Detective, wait!
I need a word with you.
You can't go after Hicks.
W-why not?
Orders straight from 1PP.
Did they say why?
Just that it's a federal matter.
So I'm right... Hicks is being investigated by the feds.
And they don't want us screwing up their case.
Sir, he could be our killer.
They are aware of that. They need us to wait.
- For how long? - Until indictments come down.
And when exactly do they expect these indictments...
days, weeks, months?
We don't know, but until then,
we've been ordered to stand down from this investigation.
What are you saying...
that my friend is dead and I can do nothing?
Is that what you're telling me, Detective Beckett?
Where is the justice in that?
She's not wrong.
Look, even though we can't approach Hicks,
we can build a case, gather evidence against him.
We'll start by combing street cams...
see if we can find out where that S.U.V. went after Henry was taken.
I'll send a team to the crime scene to canvass the park,
see if anyone remembers seeing that S.U.V.
You know, we should talk to Zhang,
see what else she knows about Henry and Hicks.
Zhang?
You guys, did Zhang circle back through here?
No. She stormed off that way, didn't she?
- Yeah. - Oh. You don't think...
yeah, I do... O'Donnell's boxing gym.
- She's going after Hicks. - I-I'll get her.
She's my responsibility.
If you're looking for the pilates studio,
it's across the street.
I'm looking for your boss. There... Hicks.
Step aside, Tony.
Make a lady feel welcome here.
Especially someone as...
as lovely as this delicate flower.
What could I do you for, Miss...?
Zhang.
I'd like to discuss a mutual friend...
Henry Graham.
Sorry. I don't know that name.
Oh, I think you do.
You don't want to do that.
You might get hurt.
Funny. I was gonna say the same thing to him.
Wrong move, sweetheart.
Help me!
Help me! Please! Help me!
Zhang, step away!
Leave us, detective!
Don't make me ask again.
Say goodbye, sister, 'cause I am pressing charges!
- Now arrest this crazy bitch. - Right after I arrest you.
For what?
We have a video of you abducting Henry Graham
outside of his apartment.
Abduct?
- We gave him a ride. - By forcing him into your S.U.V.?
Come on, that was a gag.
Okay, my boys were just... messing with him.
We do that stuff all the time. Ask Henry.
That's gonna be hard, seeing as you killed him.
Wait.
Henry's dead?
Okay, I had nothing to do with that.
- All I did was help him. - Help him with what?
You don't want to talk to me?
Fine. You can talk to her.
Okay, look.
He came to me last week needing a favor.
What kind of a favor?
Let's just say he wanted something.
What did he want?!
Hypothetically?
Yeah. Fine. Hypothetically.
Let's say... and this is just an example...
that he wanted half a kilo of coke.
Why would Henry need cocaine?
Let's just assume, in this particular example,
that he said he was trying to help a friend
get out of a bad situation.
Who was the friend,
and what were they gonna do with the coke?
Maybe he didn't say, and I didn't ask.
Maybe I told him he shouldn't get back in the game.
It's too dangerous.
But he said it was just a one-time deal.
You're lying!
- Henry would never sell drugs! - Wait! Zhang! Zhang!
Maybe we're talking about different Henrys,
because the one in my example
asked for it to be divided into smaller eight-balls.
Look, detective, Henry served me well back in the day.
When the shipment was ready,
I had him picked up, not abducted.
I gave him the coke he needed.
He was so grateful,
he even told me about the feds watching my place,
how they saw him leave here last week,
and they tried to get him to roll on me.
Hypothetically, of course.
And that was the last I've heard of him.
Let's just say that you're telling the truth.
Did he tell you where he was going with the drugs?
No.
But when my boys took him back to the city,
he didn't go home.
He wanted out on 53rd and 1st.
Yeah, Ryan. Look, Hicks could be lying about everything.
We still got to send a patrol
to canvass 53rd and 1st, just in case.
Yeah.
Look for witnesses. Thanks.
They should also pull traffic-camera footage of the area.
That is not your call... not anymore.
What the hell were you thinking?
I did what I had to!
Without any regard for the feds, for the NYPD, for me.
Is that what you call being balanced?
Okay, you want to know about being balanced?
My husband and I are separated!
I am not the mother I should be!
You think I'm this amazing cop, that I have it all together,
but I don't!
I'm the reason that Henry's dead!
What... what are you talking about?
He called the other week.
He left a message saying that...
he needed my help.
I didn't think it was important,
so I didn't call him back right away,
and when I did, it was too late.
He told me no one could help him anymore.
That's why you hopped on that plane?
Growing up, Henry was always there for me,
protecting me.
And when he needed me, I was too busy.
I am always too busy
for everything that really matters.
That's why I need to do this... not just for Henry, for me.
Gates.
Who is it?
- This is all my fault. - It sure is.
I'm going in. She shouldn't take the blame for it.
Unh.
She wouldn't take it if she didn't want to.
Believe me, Beckett has plenty of experience
taking a bullet for other people doing stupid things.
Hell, she's married to me.
But, uh, you supercops need to stick together, right?
What happened?
Uh, I told her that you left
before you knew Hicks was off-limits.
Did she believe you?
She chose to believe me.
Thank you, detective.
Well, the best way to thank me
is to help us solve the case.
Hey. So, we got a hit off that canvass.
Unis... they found a street vendor
who works near the corner of 53rd and 1st
who saw Henry loitering around a residential parking garage
the day of the murder.
Seeing that Henry was a repo man,
we contacted the building manager
to get a list of all the vehicles that park there.
And one of them was a 2013 X5.
Those alarm codes that Henry requested.
- Who owns the car? - This guy... Jeffrey Wadlow.
He's a wealthy businessman in property development
with a history of drug charges.
That his high-powered attorneys always got dismissed.
Until the other day,
because after receiving an anonymous tip to the police
that Wadlow was selling drugs, they pulled him over
and found half a kilo of cocaine
separated out into eight-balls stashed inside the car.
That means Henry wasn't selling drugs.
He was planting them.
Yeah, but why?
Is there a connection between Henry and Wadlow?
Not that we could find.
Where's Wadlow now?
Central booking,
waiting arraignment for felony distribution charges.
Who the hell is Henry Graham?
Come on, Mr. Wadlow.
I've got detectives digging into your life
looking for ties between the two of you.
And it's going to be worse for you
if you say you don't know Henry and we find out you do.
But I don't know him.
So why would he plant drugs in your car?
Yes!
I told the cops they were planted.
Finally, someone who believes me!
Hey, hey, if you know it was this guy,
then I can get out of here, right?
Not when you reached out and hired someone
to murder Henry.
Murder?!
I-I would never have someone killed,
I-I... especially someone I've never even seen before.
If you don't know Henry,
then why would he try to frame you?
I have no idea.
Maybe somebody put him up to it.
- Like who? - I don't know.
Maybe somebody who...
somebody who doesn't like the way I do business...
a competitor, maybe.
Who stands to gain by you going to prison, Mr. Wadlow?
A whole lot of people.
Wadlow's in the clear for the murder.
He was locked up at the time of the death.
Could he have ordered Henry's execution while detained?
Uh, he made one phone call... to his lawyer.
And he didn't manage to get through
until Henry was already dead.
Yo, Beckett, we were combing through
Wadlow's business dealings, and we came across something
that might be connected to our case.
Over the past six months,
Wadlow's been buying up real estate
for his next new development in Chinatown,
and each time he did,
he outbid the same rival company.
VCN Holdings... and the woman who runs VCN
also happens to own a little restaurant
called the Jade Temple.
Mimi Tan is behind this?
That's right... it's one of dozens of businesses she owns,
and not all of them are on the up-and-up.
Organized crime tells us
that Mimi Tan's rumored to be linked to human trafficking.
She staffs her businesses with illegals
that she smuggles from China via a network of triads.
But now she's looking to go legit,
and shes sees the Chinatown development
as her ticket to respectability.
So the fact that Henry was eating
at her restaurant every day is not a coincidence.
Mimi must have persuaded her "number-one customer"
to plant those drugs on Wadlow to eliminate the competition.
And then, once Henry completed his task,
Mimi had him eliminated.
Only, how do we prove it?
We're gonna need something stronger
than just the lunch special.
Well, ask and ye shall receive.
Do you remember that phenol-formaldehyde resin
that the lab found on the bottom of Henry's shoes?
Well, it might have come from a garment factory
a few blocks away from the park where Henry was shot.
What makes you say that?
Because that factory is owned by Mimi Tan.
Hello again.
Joining us for dinner this time, I hope?
Uh, no, not tonight. Actually, we were hoping
that you could help us a little more
with Henry's murder investigation.
Of course... whatever I can do to help.
Jeffrey Wadlow... do you know him?
He's a local developer.
I know of him... very unscrupulous.
Perhaps so.
He was arrested for drug charges the other day.
How unfortunate for him.
Oh, and how fortunate for you.
Wadlow goes to prison,
all his recent real-estate deals fall apart.
Making room for your company to swoop in
and buy numerous Chinatown properties.
And what does this have to do with Henry's death?
You enlisted Henry to plant those drugs in Wadlow's car
to get rid of your competition.
- That's absurd. - Is it?
We found phenol-formaldehyde resin
under Henry's shoe...
the same kind that's used at your garment factory
near the crime scene.
We talked to several of your workers
who saw you with Henry at the factory
the night he was murdered.
I want to talk to my lawyer now.
Why did you do it?
To tie up loose ends? Is that it?
I'm not saying another word until...
- It was you! You killed him! - Aah!
Wait! Hey!
Henry didn't come here for the food.
He came here for you.
He was going to take me away... free me!
And you kill him!
I did not kill Henry.
You lie!
What do you mean, he came here to free you?
I owe much money
to the smugglers who bring me here.
She buy my debt.
I work here to pay it off for years.
That's not true.
And then you met Henry.
He want us to start a life together.
He went to Mimi to pay my debt...
$40,000.
And Henry didn't have that kind of cash,
so you made a different agreement
for Suyin's release.
You had Henry frame Wadlow for her freedom.
He did that for me?
That's why he say
for me to meet him at the park that night.
He say he would have good news.
W-w-w-wait.
So you were the one he was waiting for at the park?
No.
I was supposed to, but Henry phone me.
He say not to come.
He canceled?
Did he tell you why?
I did not speak to him.
He call here and left a message.
Suyin, who gave you that message?
Thanks, Mei Wu.
We just need to clear up a few details.
This shouldn't take too long.
Of course.
Henry was a good man.
Yes. He was.
So, Suyin told us
that you were working at the restaurant
the night that Henry was killed.
She said that you gave her a message.
- Is that correct? - Yes.
I'm sorry. Did I do something wrong?
I'll say so.
You lied to her,
just like you're lying to us right now.
We checked Henry's phone records.
He never called the restaurant.
He must have used a different phone.
I did speak with him.
Yeah, of course you did...
when you confronted him at the park.
What... park?
Your Metro card shows
that you entered the subway across the street
during Henry's time-of-death window.
Suyin told us about your friendship...
how you grew up together,
how you both came here, how hard it was.
How you both owe a debt to Mimi Tan.
But that was all about to change.
You realized Henry was gonna clear Suyin's debt
and take her away from you.
And you could not allow that to happen.
Please.
I did nothing wrong.
CSU recovered blood micro-spray
on clothes found in your apartment.
That blood matches Henry's.
No, no. This is a mistake.
Suyin is all I have here,
and she was going to leave me!
I had to do something!
I had to!
Mei Wu, you're under arrest
for the murder of Henry Graham.
How's Suyin doing?
She's strong.
She'll be all right.
So, um, a bit of good news.
I-I spoke with immigration,
and in exchange for Suyin testifying against Mimi Tan,
they are going to grant her asylum.
She's gonna be allowed to stay in the U.S...
but free this time.
Just as Henry wanted.
So, what are you gonna do now?
I don't know.
Pick up where I left off. Pick up the pieces.
Try to find my balance.
It's easier said than done.
Good luck, Inspector.
Thank you, Kate.
For everything.
So, you think you and Zhang will stay in touch?
I hope so.
I mean, us supercops need to stick together.
You're not trying to break my high score on fruit ninja, are you?
No, I'm writing up a list of priorities for my future.
Ah. New mountains to climb.
Well, what's it gonna be... Fuji, Kilimanjaro, Everest?
I don't know yet.
I mean, I love what I do,
but I feel like I have to find a new challenge.
It was kind of like when you killed off Derrick Storm 'cause you were bored.
Ah, yeah. Look how that turned out.
Mm. Yeah.
Well, whatever is next,
I don't want to have to compromise my priorities
to get there, and I never want to be guilty
of leaving behind what matters most.
You cannot leave behind what is always at your side.
- Did you just make that up? - Yeah. Why?
You're so much better than Patterson.

Did you notice anything or anyone
suspicious prior the shooting?
Shots rang out
- Three of them. - I dove.
Then, I spotted the shooter.
Did you see his face? Can you describe him?
Stay right where you are!
NYPD! Stop that man!
Police! Get out of the way! Move out of the way!
Freeze! Drop the weapon! Drop the weapon! Put the gun down now or I'll shoot!
