I want the murder weapon. I don't care,

if you have to drag the Potomac.

If this man was one of yours, you would

have treated him with a lot more respect.

Let's get a gurney up here!

It always amazes me how thorough you are.

Well, we try to do the best job we can.

Hopefully you sleep better at night.

- And I definitely do.

- Garrison, DiPaola.

We're good on the perimeter.

- I'm 10-60.

- Roger, 10-60.

I let DiPaola go early, so he can...

get something to eat.

- Hi.

- Hi.

You all right?

I missed you. I missed you so much.

- Just a second.

- Okay.

- This is outstanding.

- There you go. And enjoy.

I love you, Sarah.

Garrison, DiPaola. Where are you?

- Garrison, DiPaola, where are you?

- Sh*t!

Yeah, I'm on my way.

Hi. So what the hell is going on, or...

Aziz, what are you doing here?

Charlie Merriweather was murdered.

He... He was murdered?

PID thinks it might be connected to work.

Director put us on alert.

I'm sorry. I know he was your friend.

Was there any kind of shift in his behavior?

Was he agitated or worried about anything?

He was a little distant

at breakfast on Sunday.

Did he tell you why?

He just said he had a couple

of tough days at work.

- What'd he say at breakfast?

- Some gossip... It's kind of personal.

Nancy, I know how difficult this is for you,

but I need a complete picture,

if I'm gonna investigate this properly.

He told me that he thought Pete Garrison was

having an affair with someone's wife at work.

- Just gossip... It just...

- Yeah.

Probably not even true.

Look, that's all we need for now.

- You got the lead on Charlie's murder?

- Screw you.

- What?

- Screw you.

- You still got a problem with me?

- Take your hands off of me.

Christ! It doesn't matter what I say to you.

I don't care if you got a problem with me,

but you show respect

when you come to this house.

Charlie was one of my best friends.

If you have any information that can

help me with the case, that I want to hear.

- Otherwise, stay out of my way.

- Okay, fine. You're a piece of work, you know that?

You know, Nancy did say one thing.

Charlie was upset about something at work.

You have any idea what that might be?

- No.

- Then if you figure it out,

you know where to find me.

- Yeah, good. I'll send you a memo.

- Do that.

- Hey! Is everything okay?

- Hey, Jill. Yeah.

- You working with him now?

- Yeah.

All right. Keep your eyes open.

You may learn a lot.

But don't listen to everything

he's got to say. Especially about me.

Okay.

Pete.

There some problem between you two?

- I thought you were friends.

- We were.

- So what happened?

- It's personal.

Let's go.

No. You know what? He can go to hell.
