Elsbeth

Yoyo, earlier this year, you were the world number one,

playing some of the most astounding tennis

we've ever seen.

So I have to admit, I was pretty shocked

when you announced you were retiring.

How's that decision sitting?

Well, to be honest, I believe

I have much more to prove, so I will be entering

the upcoming tournament in New York.

Wait, so, am I getting this right?

Your retirement is put off? Indefinitely.

Yes, I am back.

Hey, knock that off.

Yoyo was supposed to go away. It's a speed bump.

Stop acting like a little child.

And let's talk about how we're gonna beat him.

I've lost to him 11 times.

And you beat him once, in Shanghai.

He had appendicitis.

Stop moaning and get your head right.

Can you just stop being my coach for half a second

and just be my dad?

We need to make a good run in New York,

get our ranking back up.

The sponsors are starting to get soft. Yeah,

I'm so sorry if Mom's dying hurt their shoe sales.

Look.

We've had a bad year, kid.

But Yoyo can't keep up his level of playing forever.

Someone's gonna beat him and if it's us,

it'll make a huge statement

about who the future of men's tennis is.

This is an opportunity.

You know, people make TikTok supercuts of every time.

Yoyo aced me on the serve?

And those videos are long.

Well then, maybe you should anticipate better.

Just stop. Hey, check your tone.

Anything can happen in these matches.

You know that.

Yeah, maybe next time he'll lose a gallbladder.

It's day three in New York

at the Gotham Tennis Open,

and we've got our first marquee match.

Checking in. How we feeling?

Fear not.

I have completed the most important part of the warm-up.

Gracias for that, amor mío.

Yoyo, oh, my God, you are so crazy.

Uh, not crazy.

Just Spanish.

Come on, man.

All right, let's talk coin toss.

If I win, I take the serve.

No. That's what everyone figures you'll do.

Let's do something different.

Instead of taking the serve, choose a side.

Let him serve first. It'll throw him off and make him

realize that you're not afraid of his biggest weapon.

But I am afraid of it.

Trust me. You win the coin toss,

take the far side of the court that's

closest to me, and I can call out

any early adjustments, all right?

All right. Let's go.

Players can choose whether to serve or receive

or if they'd prefer, they may choose

a side of the court.

I serve.

That means you choose a side.

This side.

It's the hometown hero.

Hunter McGrath versus Johann Arnaldo.

Now, McGrath is interesting,

he's shown a lot of promise,

but he's struggled a bit lately

in the face of some personal loss.

Let's go.

Way to stay on him.

We're now well into this opening set,

and Yoyo is in fantastic form, as usual.

But the real surprise is Hunter McGrath,

who has managed to hang with him at every turn. Stay on him.

Let's go, let's go. And Yoyo is clearly looking a bit frustrated.

You got this.

Bit of a wobble there from Yoyo.

Need the medic?

¿Por qué?

Do you think I'm weak?

Do you think I'm old? I'm fine.

Vamos.

Something very concerning is...

Just bear with us.

Oh, it looks like

we're taking an extended medical time-out.

Hunter.

Hey. Talk to me.

Th-They told me to wait here.

I... Uh, D-Dad,

I heard them talking before

I got off the court. They're s...

they're saying...

I think he's dead.

S... No.

No, that's a mistake.

It wasn't supposed to...

It's, um, it's a mistake.

It's a mistake.

Oh, this guy is so talented.

I can't believe you've spent your whole life

in the city and you've never been here.

Yeah, I'm not sure anyone

actually from New York has ever been here.

No. One month in, and already,

I'm showing you the hidden gems?

Fuhgeddaboudit.

Ooh, how's Captain Wagner?

Oh, you mean my boss' boss' boss?

I think he's good.

He seems a little stressed

about that Wali guy.

Never heard of him.

Captain Wagner doesn't exactly confide in me.

Yeah, he's probably too busy

fundraising for his foundation.

Whoa.

What? What is it?

Johann Arnaldo just died on live TV.

What? The tennis player?

Yeah.

Oh, it's Captain Wagner.

It's about the news.

He thinks this is a police thing?

Yeah, it's high profile enough that he wants me to observe.

Who's that?

I think that's the guy.

Yoyo was playing when it happened.

E-Excuse me, sir? Uh,

could we get some sound, please?

Oh, uh, no, I-I was about to sing 'Meadowlark.'

From The Baker's Wife. Hello?

Sure, how about some sound? Yeah.

Sorry. You're so talented. Cliff,

How are you feeling in the wake of the match?

This was an awful tragedy.

Nobody wanted for anything like this to happen.

That's a funny thing to say.

Huh?

That man.

He said nobody wanted this to happen.

Well, of course nobody wanted it.

Shouldn't that go without saying?

Who did they say that was again?

Well, so much for a basic medical episode.

The ME says that Yoyo

had exceptionally high levels of nitroglycerin

and sildenafil in his system.

And when combined, they can cause

a catastrophic drop in blood pressure,

especially if the victim has been straining himself.

Like playing professional tennis.

Yes!

We're distracting you, Ms. Tascioni?

Uh, yes, by all means,

don't let us keep you from a good time.

Oh. You're not.

I'm just watching the game.

No. The match. Sorry.

I'm just getting

the lingo. I mean,

I know... I know how it ends,

and I can't help but get caught up in these points.

It's so exciting.

It's a beautiful sport. Anyway...

Oh, sorry. I actually do have a point.

Captain. No, it's just...

Johann... or Yoyo, as they call him, right...

he's playing this American, Hunter McGrath,

who, by the way, the broadcaster just said

that he lost his mom to cancer.

That's so sad.

Right. Yoyo.

He started the match in peak physical condition.

So, if he was poisoned...

That hasn't been determined.

No. If he was

drugged, then it seems to me

that it would have had to happen

during the match or just

before it. So, maybe

someone who was with him in the locker room saw something,

like this Hunter McGrath. Or his father.

Okay, l-let's get something straight.

I am the lead detective in this case, all right?

If you observe any misconduct, by all means,

say something. But otherwise...

Of course. Point...

taken.

I like that tie, by the way.

How do you want to proceed, boss?
