Secrets and Lies

Previously on "Secrets and Lies"...

- Did you kill my wife? - What are you talking about?

You set up an account so you could siphon money from this firm!

- That's insane! - Neil, leave.

I quit.

- Who is she? - It's none of your damn business.

- You're married to my sister. - Then talk to her.

- I'm talking to you! - I moved out.

You're single now, right? Is that what I heard?

I told Patrick that you and Greg split.

I should have known that he would tell Melanie.

Tech division showed me footage of a woman outside the building

a few hours before the murder, but no one could I.D. her.

- I'm N.Y.P.D. - You need to stay out of sight

and stay out of my investigation.

Either place that cop under arrest or you're suspended.

He has a bench warrant out for his arrest.

I would leave before the cops get here.

I had to get that cop out of here.

You're in enough trouble.

What the hell are you thinking? Cornell just cleared you.

You read her wrong.

Danny says she won't stop looking at me

until she puts someone else in cuffs.

Why would you listen to anything her spy has to say?

Because he's a cop.

And I think he knows better than you what that woman is thinking.

- Have you just stopped caring? - Have you?

- What is that supposed to mean? - What's going on with your marriage?

If you weren't so busy taking care of everyone else instead of paying attention

to what's going on in your relationship...

Greg filed for divorce.

I've had the papers for a couple weeks now.

- Why? - Just leave it alone, Eric.

Kate's gone.

You can still fix this.

You got to decide what's important.

You can't have it all.

It ain't fair.

It ain't right. It just is.

I want kids.

He doesn't.

How do I fix that?

- Mandy... - Don't. Don't do that.

I don't want your pity.

This is why I kept it to myself.

- I just need to get over it. - There's still time.

- You can have babies with someone else. - Maybe for you. You're a man.

You can have them whenever you want.

You would've been a great dad.

You were always there for me...

Especially when Dad wasn't.

But I'm a big girl now.

I can handle my own life.

Problem?

That's Mr. Peterson. He says he has a meeting.

With Kate.

All right. I'll take care of it.

Mr. Peterson.

- I'm Eric Warner. - Oh, hey, hi.

I understand you have a meeting with Kate.

Uh, she's unavailable, so can I help you?

Yeah, I-I'd rather deal with her. Can I... Can I reschedule?

What's the meeting about?

- Uh, investments. - Mm.

- Um... I drove a long way to see her. - Are you a reporter?

- W-what? No. - What's your angle?

Why do you want to meet with my wife?

Why are you interrogating me? I've done nothing wrong.

Had to be sure.

My wife died two weeks ago.

I'm... I'm so sorry.

Um...

- What happened? - She was murdered.

So, why did you want to meet with her?

I...

Like I said, i-investments.

Um...

I-I need to go.

Mr. Peterson, my wife didn't handle investments.

So what was this really about?

I'm so sorry for your loss... truly.

I don't eavesdrop on my customers, Detective.

That's you... close enough to hear exactly what's being said.

Her lunch guest was threatening her about a man.

What did they say, exactly?

I wasn't listening.

But those two cats were fighting over some guy.

That, I know.

It's hard to do a job well if you can't hear what your customers want.

I've been waiting tables for 10 years. I do all right.

Did you hear Kate call the woman by name?

Not that I remember.

Is there anything else? My shift starts in an hour.

Please go.

I got a bolo hit on that New York cop.

The Major wants it checked out.

Danny Voss is staying at a motel nearby.

- I can take it if you're busy. - I got it. Thanks.

Look, I-I know it's... It's a tough day for you.

- I heard two years ago that... - I got it covered.

Okay.

Do you need any help?

You coming?

Motel clerk I.D.'d Voss from a six-pack.

Gave me a passkey. Says he's in room 18.

Put this on.

- Detectives don't wear armor. - Unless we breach hot.

Everything I've heard about Voss says he's stand-up police.

Do you really think he'd shoot at us?

He's looking for his missing daughter,

and I don't think he'll go quietly until he finds her.

- Happy? - Ecstatic.

Danny's long gone.

Coffee's still hot.

- He must have known we were coming. - Or somebody tipped him.

And you think that someone is me?

Wouldn't put it past you.

You used Voss' kid as leverage

to make him spy on your prime suspect.

That's ruthless.

No, Detective, that's resourceful.

Hand over your phone.

You want proof that I didn't warn Danny we were coming?

It'd be a start.

After all, you gave him plenty of time to bail

by distracting me with a vest I didn't need.

See anything in my text history to prove your theory?

You just brought me along to prove that you obeyed an order

so you don't get ripped by the Major.

Why would I bother if you're not his eyes and ears?

Pick another stooge.

_

So, let me get this straight.

Danny Voss eluded you. Is that what I'm hearing?

- Yes, sir. - I'm not talking to you.

Voss is a street cop.

Probably greased a few palms at the motel.

Have you I.D.'d the woman from the Warner building footage yet?

I'm sorry. Were you talking to me? I couldn't tell.

You know, you're gonna look real nice

in that new uniform, directing traffic.

Not yet, but the unidentified female

did have lunch with our victim the same day she was killed.

Find out who she is and sit her down.

Ralston's not finding out anything. It's my case.

It's my unit.

Frankly, I'm a little worried about you.

Are you gonna be okay today?

Why wouldn't I be?

Stress, fatigue, anxiety... All cop-killers.

You should take the day, maybe talk to someone.

I'm fine. Anything else?

Yeah. Your husband stopped by earlier, looking for you.

"Ex-husband."

- Did he leave a message? - No.

Must not have been important, then.

So, I guess it's true... I'm your errand boy.

Ran into the security guard.

He said to bring this to you right away.

So, who is Mark Peterson?

Don't worry about it.

W... y-you don't trust me anymore?

Of course I trust you. You're my brother.

But...

I don't trust your wife.

What the hell, Eric?

I don't want Melanie in my personal business.

Why?

If you have to ask, that's a problem.

No, not to me, man.

She is my wife, which makes her part of this family.

Then why doesn't she act like it?

Your sister's marriage tanks, and she uses it like a hammer.

How do you think Mandy felt?

The same way that my wife feels

every time the two of you look down on her.

You act like she doesn't even exist.

I don't see how.

She's just so damn loud.

I get it.

You're the boss, right?

So, what, do I kiss your ring or your ass before I go?

I have a right to decide who knows what about me.

I guess it's my turn.

What are you talking about?

You cut Dad off first, your little bromance with Neil.

Where is he? Have you... have you checked in?

Has he?

No.

So, clearly, I'm next.

I'll just save you some trouble. Huh?

Your father called... Twice.

Should I get him back for you?

No.

It's not like you to hold a grudge, Eric.

Whatever he's done, you should talk to him.

I'd like for you to collect the firm's mail

and start storing it in my office from now on, please.

No problem.
