Victim on the left is Larry Lewis.

He was sh*t dead in his home

Apparently, she was there

She tried to run and whoever
did this chased her down

and ran her over
with a blue Lexus sedan.

She's currently in critical
condition at Brooklyn Hospital.

Why is this case ours?

Because Larry Lewis
is really Ralph Fazzini.

He's been in federal
witness protection since .

They relocated him here
from Long Beach, California.

Something about a racketeering
case on the docks.

NYPD pulled this from

Yeah, of course.

So you and Larry met

Bailey is your adopted daughter.

You guys are good.

Did Larry ever tell you anything

about his life in California?

Before we met, he lived in Jersey.

Larry's real name is Ralph Fazzini.

He's been in federal witness

I think you must have him
mixed up with someone else.

My Larry's from Cape May.

His first wife, Bailey's mom,
d*ed of breast cancer.

Did you ever meet

No.

Look, we're sorry

No. That's not the Larry I knew.

Okay, well, the person who sh*t him

and ran your daughter over was a woman.

Do you know who that is?

No. I don't.

Kyra has zero ties to Larry

then later that same day,

her boss and former lover gets his.

While Kyra's ridesharing home

in the back of an airtight alibi.

All right. Check this out.

Anderson's is under new ownership.

Tripp sold Anderson's
to Loeb Hospitality Group

last month.

He stayed on as manager
and pocketed a payday

in the low seven figures.

Ask me, there's nothing low
about seven figures.

Zero percent of which is still zero,

and Tripp promised Kyra he'd
make her an equity partner.

Then dumped her,
sold the business Kyra saved,

and left her with a goose egg.

Not sure if I'd k*ll someone over it,

but I wouldn't mind going
ten rounds in a boxing gym.

So Kyra goes to
that bougie gym, Gotham House.

Guess who else has a membership there.

Janine Viano.

What if Janine helped Kyra
solve her problem?

What's in it for Janine?

Maybe Janine and Kyra fell in love.

Or Janine found out that she was married

to a criminal in WITSEC.

Cell phone's off too.

Yup. Thanks, lieutenant.

That was Justin Hill's CO.

Guess who called in sick today?

Any vehicles registered to Officer Hill?

Yeah. A Jeep Cherokee.

- Track his GPS?

He's heading north on Taconic Parkway.

So what about Bailey?

She's in no condition

- You're just gonna leave her?
- No.

I'll come back and get her
when this all blows over.

I think we got company.

It's the FBI, Janine.

You think they saw us?

I'm not sure.

Looks like Justin's driving.

But is he a hostage or a accomplice?

So what if they try to pull us over?

Just get me to the border
and I'll figure it out.

No, no. no. I'm not taking
you to Canada, Janine.

Do not stop driving.

Nah, man.

What are you doing?

I'm getting myself out
of the mess that you made.

Do not stop driving this car!

Or what, Janine?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Or I'll k*ll you.

Come on, man.

Why is Justin tapping the brake lights?

Is that morse code?

Short, short, short.

Short, long. S-A-F-E.

He's signaling it's safe to approach.

Ortiz, you and me.

You come any closer,
I will blow his brains out!

Bad idea, Janine.

You don't wanna make things
worse than they already are,

I don't think you'd k*ll
your own partner.

You take one more step and he's dead.

I'm okay.

I'm good, okay? You're good.

When I saw the defensive
wound on her hand,

I knew you was right about her.

You know, she strangled her accomplice

right before showing up at your door.

What made you think to use morse code?

My pops was in the Air Force.

He taught me when I was five.

Finally came in handy.

And why'd you stay in the car?

You're kidding, right?

Expose myself to four feds

who don't know if I'm friend or foe?

No, the best play was to sit tight,

let it all play out.

And you made sure she
couldn't use this on any of us.

Yeah.

Before we left my house,
I took the mag out,

jammed a paper clip up top...

[g*n CLICKS]

Cleared the g*n.

Smart.

Training officer always said,
"Stay three steps ahead."

At least she did something right.

You're serious about this?

I just wanna start the conversation.

They have a dedicated unit
for Alzheimer's patients.

Remy, she doesn't need it
and we can't afford it.

Yes, she does need it,
and finances are not the issue.

Between what Dad left her
and what the house is worth...

- I live in that house.
- Yeah, I know.

And that's what I'm worried about.

Why?

You're a grown-ass woman

living in your childhood bedroom.

You deserve more of a life

than taking care of Mom all the time.

Come on.

And who else is gonna do it?

Feel free to step up at any time,

'cause I sure as hell
could use the help.

I don't wanna fight with you.

You just told me I have no life.

You always had issues with Mom.

Yeah, I did.

So why are you taking it out on me?

There's something you don't know.
