"There's that disappointment again. "Vengeance interruptus."" — Holmes to Bell
|
After Detective Bell finds Chantal beaten and unconscious in her apartment, Captain Gregson and Holmes meet him at the hospital. Saying that she has various injuries including a skull fracture, she's being kept sedated and treated for inter cranial bleeding. Having examined Chantal's apartment, Holmes reports her attacker broke in through a window and urinated on her bed. Given the problems that Chantal's ex-husband Roy Booker has been giving Bell of late, he's convinced that Booker is responsible for the assault. After Gregson takes Bell aside to calm him down, Holmes tells Bell that he well understands his need for vengeance and that he'll investigate while Bell tends to Chantal. Booker is brought to the 11th Precinct with his lawyer Ardy Gulbenkian and accused being Chantal's attacker.

Angrily protesting his innocence, he provides an alibi, that he was surveilling a man at the Birchwood Grove Country Club for a law firm he works for as an investigator. Told that his DNA will be tested to see if it matches the urine, he makes a threaten that they better not be trying to unlawfully pin the attack on him. Planning to visit the country club to obtain their video footage to check Booker's alibi, Gregson warns Holmes that the club is notorious for not cooperating with the police. At the hospital, Watson meets Bell who confesses that his mother was in a severe accident when he was a kid. Hating hospitals ever since, Watson offers to watch Chantal while he takes a break. As Bell leaves Chantal's room, he sees Booker coming off the elevator. Getting into an altercation, they both accuse each other of attacking Chantal. A police officer escorts Booker out who yells that Bell is going to rig the DNA results.

At the country club, the manager denies Holmes' request for their surveillance videos until he tells her that a man she showed around the club was an actor dressed to resemble a major criminal. Threatening to release photos of his visit to police, she gives Holmes the video to avoid embarrassment. At The Brownstone, Watson tells Holmes that the urine DNA was a match for Booker and that neither police nor his lawyer can locate him. Showing her the club's video, they see that Booker's alibi checks out. Concluding that someone is framing Booker, Gregson calls that Booker shot himself in the head inside his car. At the precinct, Bell, Gregson, Holmes and Watson discuss Booker's suicide. Having found gunshot residue on his hand but his autopsy showing he was drugged, they believe his suicide was staged. Traces of THC from marijuana use weeks before were also found. Knowing he could be a suspect, Bell is reassured by Gregson they won't waste time investigating him.

While Watson examines Booker's car, Holmes secretly invites Bell to visit the law firm Booker was working for, believing whoever Booker was following may have killed him. Waiting in the firm's lobby, who specialize in findings assets hidden by divorcing spouses, Holmes comments that Bell seems disappointed that he wouldn't be able to get revenge on Booker. Meeting attorney Ted Winthrop, who is saddened to hear of Booker's death, he says Booker was surveilling Fyodor Ukhov, whose wife, Lara, he is representing. Unable to give them details of Lara's case, as Fyodor's attorneys could sue him, he does point out the divorce has received a lot of press. Looking on their phones, they see that Fyodor is a wealthy private jet broker who is alleged to being hiding $20M from Lara. He's also been arrested twice for assaulting Lara.

In a meeting room at Fyodor's business, which is filled with model jets, Bell shows him a photo of Booker after being shot and says that his hand print was found on the window of Booker's car. Denying he staged Booker's death, he explains that about to go into a restaurant, he realized Booker was following him and slapped his window. In the parking lot, Holmes meets Bell, having broken into Fyodor's office when Bell was meeting with him. From Booker's license plate, Fyodor hired his own investigator, Joseph Tommolino, who provided Fyodor detailed information on Booker and Chantal. Without enough evidence to have Fyodor arrested and having seen from his calendar that he's leaving that evening for the Caymans, Holmes tells Bell not to worry. Fyodor thinks he's untouchable and Holmes tells Bell to trust that Fyodor isn't trying to flee and that he'll be back in three days.
