What's your new partner doing?

Oh, Christ.

Well, the jury's still out,

but she's not my partner.

Looks like you lost your beer, though.

Cheers.

How you doing?

Uh, no thanks.

Okay.

You always this pleasant?

Hm? Oh. Yeah. Pleasant. Mm-hm.

Wow. We're going to

have a lot in common.

So what have you got there?

Uncover anything new?

Um, I'm running a background

analysis on Durant.

I'm checking to see if there are any

unusual patterns in his recent behavior.

We should bring him in

and ask him some questions.

Is that how you run things around here?

Just bring them in, rough

them up a little bit?

See what happens?

Well, that's how we start.

We bring them in, we sit them down,

Ask them some questions.

See if any red flags pop up.

You know, since we're

here working together,

I say we collaborate on our approach.

I think that's a good idea.

Welcome aboard.

Did you find anything

on the surveillance tapes?

No, that's all useless.

This whole thing reeks of a cover-up.

Don't buy the electrical

storm theory, huh?

Not for a second.

Bullets fired from a

gun killed this good man,

Girls and boys.

That's my theory, John.

And I'm sticking to it.

Now, the bullet entered

the front of his head here.

You can tell from the

relatively small entrance wound.

The larger hole is

closer to 13 centimeters.

That's basically a damn big exit wound.

We found, uh, these

Near the body, some several feet away.

Caliber of weapon?

Ah. You're in luck.

Fragments of

a. 30-06 bang-bang.

And that's not all.

From a different caliber.

Now how do you suppose those got there?

So we got two weapons.

Which introduces the

possibility of two shooters.

It's very plausible.

These are from a much smaller weapon.

Yeah. Probably a. 22.

A professional's weapon of choice.

Yeah. It makes sense in

a twisted sort of way.

The first shot killed him instantly,

The second shot was for insurance.

The third shot was just...

An entertainment.

The primaries are coming up and

the mayor's suddenly killed.

There's two candidates that

could possibly benefit from that.

I'd say that's a good place to start.

Yeah.

Oh, sh*t. I shouldn't have done that.

No.

No, no.

Jessie, Jessie. It's Alex.

I have an emergency. A big one.

Yeah, I'm coming over.

No, no, today.

Please, Jessie. Please, please, please.

Okay. Thank you. Thank

you. I'll owe you.

No. I'll, I'll pay you. I can pay you.

I'm going to have to run a

complete diagnostic check, Alex.

How long is that going to take?

I'm pretty backed up but once I

figure out what's wrong with it,

Within a couple of

hours. Okay, so, today?

Maybe. It has to be today.

I'll do my best.

Okay, look. You don't understand.
