Elsbeth

D-Don't...

I'm sorry.

And hit the slides.

Stone woman. Iron woman.

To callously spill with thine hand that life,

self-created of

thine own agony? A mother slew...

I'm gonna go and congratulate the cast.

You got this, Todd?

Yep. Congrats.

Ino, god-maddened, whom the.

Queen of heaven set frenzied, flying to the dark:

and she cast her from sorry to the wild salt sea,

forth from those rooms of murder unforgiven, wild-footed

from a white crag of the shore,

and clasping still her children twain...

Oh, God, thou hast

broken me! MEDEA: My claws

have gripped thine heart,

and all that shines.

Thou must have grief.

Pain as fierce as mine.

Oh, I love the pain, for thou shalt laugh no more.

Oh, what a womb of sin my children bore!

'Twas thy false wooings,

'twas their trampling pride! JASON: Thou hast said it!

For the lust of love they died!

The hands of thine old Argo, rotting where she stands,

shall smite thine head in twain.

And bitter be to the last end thy memories of me.

And the end men look for cometh not,

and a path is there where no man thought.

So hath it fallen here.

I did it!

You see that? (Overlapping chatter)

So good.

It was fant... well done.

Oh, my God. Really great adjustments.

You have to go out there and see the audience. I'm gonna go out there, okay?

You got to come and celebrate with us. ALEX: All right. Okay.

Okay. All right.

Hey, Olivia.

That was great work. You mean with my one line?

Are you gonna go to the cast party?

No. This is over.

Shh, shh. Please. Don't shush me.

I don't care what you say. I'm going to the dean.

Olivia, I am not the enemy. Please, don't go to the dean.

You will have me canceled. Don't put this on me.

You are the one sleeping with the students.

You canceled yourself. Look, I promised you

I will take you to all new good agencies in town.

You just need to give me some time.

You are such a scam artist.

Just send me my keys, okay?

I don't want you near my apartment ever again.

(horns honking)

Are you sure you just don't want to go downstairs?

It's, like, 28 degrees out.

Oh, I want the whole New York experience.

You go down, though.

I'm fine. No, it's okay. It's my job.

So... who here's from out of town?

Oh.

Where you from?

Chicago. Business or pleasure?

Well, both, I guess. I mean...

I'm here for business.

It's a temporary job but I want it to be permanent,

Okay. Okay, so... because I really love New York.

Yeah, no, I got-I got you. I mean, I've only been here on...

I'm gonna do my thing now, right? Okay?

Uh, this is not an Uber.

Yeah, but you were heading up this way.

Don't worry. I'll check out the rest later.

You're so...

talented.

Hi. I'm sorry to interrupt.

Um, I'm supposed to meet with... Ooh!

That's a pretty scarf.

Thank you. I'm meeting with Detective, um...

Smullen.

I called Captain Wagner's office

and they said he was here.

Is Smullen expecting you?

Oh, I don't think anyone's expecting me.

No. I decided to come a day early

to see New York.

I'm Elsbeth Tascioni.

I'm part of the... uh, thing.

The... thingy-thing.

The thingy-thing?

Uh... consent decree.

I'm the outside observer. The wrongful arrest lawsuits.

Right.

This way. Okay.

Uh, I think you should, um...

Oh, my gosh. I didn't even remember

I was wearing this. (Chuckles)

Um, excuse me.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Um, hey. Wow. What is all this?

A suicide. Wow.

With all these officers?

Yep. Major Case Unit.

They all come out for a VIP suicide.

Oh. Was it someone famous?

No. Olivia Cherry. Huh?

Her parents own the Lindsay Yards.

I don't know what that means. Money.

You all right?

This is my first crime scene.

Okay. You can wait in the hall.

I'll get Smullen. Oh, no. No, no, no.

I-I'm just saying...

I'm a lawyer, so I mostly

see crime scene photos like that.

This is very different. Yes.

Better.

Hey. Huh?

Yeah. This way.

Do you ever go to open houses just to go see them?

No. I go on Sundays.

I think I like looking at... at how other people live.

Ooh, that's a pretty fabric on the wall,

isn't it? What is that, purple?

So, you were at a party?

The cast party. Yes, sir.

At Pub 18. Uh, Detective, this is...

And Ms. Cherry was supposed to be at the party, too? Yes.

But then she texted that she was depressed.

And she was worried about what she might do to herself,

so we called the hotline.

Suicide hotline? Is that the text?

Yes. Thank you.

Excuse me. Don't worry, I can see it.

Could you go downstairs please, ma'am?

Oh, sure.

The consent decree.

She said Captain Wagner wanted her here.

I didn't want her there. City hall wants her there.

It's the lawsuit from last year.

All those wrongful arrests by Major Case Unit.

Yeah, that wasn't our fault, Captain.

Doesn't matter.

Judge ordered us to hire an outside attorney

for police oversight to observe your investigations

for a year. I know,

but what am I supposed to do with this lady?

Let her observe.

Hey, Mike, how you doing? Captain.

Her DOJ boss in Chicago thinks she's easily amused.

Yeah, well, she's easily amusing herself

all over my crime scene.

Bob, it's a suicide. Just humor her.

Tell her some old war stories.

She'll get bored and move on.

Huh. Parsley seed. I've never heard of that.

And skin...

Hey, how many Lorazepam would it take to knock her out?

Probably around ten, 15.

But that's not what killed her.

She taped a plastic bag over her head.

Oh. Whew.

Hey, what's this in the garbage?

Who are you again?

Elsbeth Tascioni. What's your name?

Ailune. Oh. Ailune.

What a pretty name.

I always hated mine.

Have you ever heard of a woman using Old Irish?

No. Have you ever noticed

you can learn a lot about a person

by looking in their medicine cabinet?

Was the victim dating someone?

I don't know.

What are you doing?

Diaphragm case.

Oh, it's empty.

Have you ever been to the Statue of Liberty?
