INVESTIGATION
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
You ran your stepmom-to-be's plates?
And her driver's license and her name.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Turns out she's married.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
What?!
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
I think that's the guy who was kissing her-- her husband of three years.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
And your dad doesn't know?
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
He rented the Fallwyck Hotel for their wedding six weeks from now.
What do u think?
Nicholas didn't just do abstract art.
He also did nudes.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
Yeah, don't they all.
Hey, look at these.
Why would you paint the same thing over and over?
To get better at it?
Or sell it more than once.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
There's a bunch of duplicates here.
Untitled Number Three, Untitled Number Three...
Maybe we're looking at some kind of art fraud.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
Collectors think they're getting a one of-a-kind, but Marco's selling multiple copies of the same painting.
We got to meet this Marco. Mm.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Get this.
A month ago, Nicholas sold three of his paintings to a gallery across town for a couple hundred bucks.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
But Marco sells them for thousands.
Why the premium rate?
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Hey, check this out.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
List of clients?
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Maybe Nicholas threatened to tell Marco's clients that they were being swindled.
That much money on the line, not a bad reason to kill him.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
Whoa.
Assistant District Attorney Fred Simpson.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
You know him?
INTERROGATION ROOM
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
Only by reputation-- guy's supposed to be a bulldog.
So, where u been, Marco?
Trying to disappear?
𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐨
If I was trying to disappear,
I would have.
I was dining in Long Island with witnesses.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
Well, I understand you and Nicholas had a pretty heated fight the other night.
𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐨
Did we?
Well, I guess the union of commerce and culture is not always so unified.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
Was he upset you were cheating him out of his rightful cut?
𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐨
Painters loathe capitalism but they love the rewards.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
Or did he threaten to expose your money laundering scam?
𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐨
Money laundering?
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
How else do you explain the prices you're getting for Nicholas's work?
𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐨
Art is subjective.
So is the price you pay for it.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
Is that what you told Assistant District Attorney Simpson?
'Cause I'm thinking you and ADA Simpson were working together.
𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐨
You're mistaken.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
All right.
Well, based on the invoices we found in Nicholas's studio, and the duplicate paintings, we have enough to hold you on false representation.
𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐨
I want my lawyer present.
And I need my phone call.
I have to let my curator know to cancel tonight's opening.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
The opening?
Huh. You know, I've always been curious about contemporary art.
Oh, and I'll get right on that phone call for you.
Look at me, running out the door.
Fast as I can.
ROZONDA MEETING HER FATHER
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Okay, I guess there's no other way to do this than just say it.
Um...
Dad, Brooke is married.
𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫
Is that all?
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Isn't that enough?
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
It's not what u think.
𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫
She's going through a horrible divorce.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Made more horrible by the fact that she isn't divorced.
𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫
Did u run a background check on her?
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Yeah, but I...
𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫
Well, u know if you hadn't stopped your research when u found something to judge, u would have discovered that the divorce was supposed to be finalized weeks ago.
Brooke's husband's still in love with her, so he made some new demands, that's all.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
I saw them kiss.
𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫
Brooke told me that he followed her.
He texted her from outside.
Now I'm sure she didn't return this kiss.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Yes, she pushed him away, but she just didn't want anyone to see.
I-I think she's using u.
𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫
Rozonda, have u ever stopped to ask yourself why I didn't tell u about her divorce myself?
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
I am worried about u.
𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫
Because no one's worthy in your eyes.
Now, this judgmental attitude may make you a good cop, but it also makes it very difficult to have a relationship with you.
ROZONDA APARTMENT
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Art openings are pretentious.
We just figure out where the money is coming from, and we get out of there.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
Unless we meet some handsome art lover.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Focus.
I checked Nicholas's credit reports.
He applied for an apartment two days ago.
According to the landlady, he was gonna move in with his girlfriend.
What are you wearing, anyway?
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
Whatever's clean.
He was moving in with a girlfriend who dumped him two weeks earlier?
That is wishful thinking.
Hey, what are u wearing?
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Aaliyah shoes, apparently.
I'll see u there.
Going to the bathroom then sees Lisa in the mirror
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Hi.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
I'm in a hurry, Lisa.
I'm on my way to a case.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
A little overdressed for a case.
Following her and checking her out
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Murdered painter.
Going to a gallery opening.
Lisa... what are u doing here?
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
I was just in the neighborhood.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Really?
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Yeah.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
It's just, one minute I think we're moving in one direction, and then we're moving in another.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Rozonda, I know that... u can't wait around for me; I mean...
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
You... u don't have to let me down easy.
I get it.
You and I, this, it's just, it's... too complicated.
I don't know what I thought, that you'd... come over for dinner like some normal Woman?
I realize that was stupid of me.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
It's not stupid.
Look, I should've just told u that I was okay.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
I was reading into our connection like it was fate or destiny that brought us together.
Truth is... you've saved other people, not just me.
We should just stick to working on cases.
That's what we are.
Hears knocking on the door
Dallas.
Um... if you'll excuse me?
It's just, uh... my date.
Leaving her apartment without being notice
Turning around to see Lisa gone before opening the door
𝐃𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐬
I thought I'd order the lobster and ask for a bib.
Properly mortify u in front of your father.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
I'm sorry I forgot to call.
Dinner is off.
𝐃𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐬
How come u look so stunning?
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Thank u. Long story.
But u are off the hook.
𝐃𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐬
And if I don't want to be off the hook?
Well, we're both dressed up in the most electric city in the world.
There must be somewhere we can go.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
I wish that I could, but I'm on a case.
𝐃𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐬
Lucky criminal.
Another time?
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Actually, what do you know about art?
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Watching them leave together from the rooftop
Eyes red glow with rage eyes continue glow a few times then stay solid before
Disappear leaving without anyone noticing
