Well, I'm gonna head back to Chicago. I assume Elsbeth Tascioni will be joining me. That must be a relief. Agent Celetano, let me ask. Was the consent decree ever real or was it all just a cover story? What exactly are you asking? I'm asking if the DOJ really cares about corruption or was this all just a chance to investigate Charles Wallace Wagner? I'm sorry I suspected you for so long. It's just, you were acting so strangely. Well, I was being blackmailed and hiding money, so you were picking up on real lies. It's just not every lie is about murder. Hmm. Oh. Matteo asked me to give this to you. Now that Ezra's dead, the photos belong to you and only you. Oh... Did you look at them? I did. You know, the way Matteo described them, I thought they would be really awful, but, actually, they're far worse than I imagined. I take responsibility. I believe strongly in that. But it was totally Ezra's idea. Right. (chuckles) I will make up for my youthful indiscretion. I believe strongly in redemption. I promise, I will do the work. Good luck with that. (chuckles) It's funny, without my stuff in it, this room looks even smaller. Well, I guess this is it. Thank you, Elsbeth. For teaching me how to... notice things, and for being my friend. (chuckles) Thank you. I know a bunch of people died, but we did have a lot of fun. Yeah. Ms. Tascioni. I want to congratulate you on solving another case. And on your fashion show. I think mittens might become a thing. (chuckles) I'm sorry I wasn't able to be fully honest with you, but I did come to the right conclusion. You're a good man. Officers, please remove Ms. Tascioni's things. Oh, um... Oh, wait, uh, I can do that. Oh, well, thank you. Wait... Wh-Where are you go... where are you going with that? Uh, I don't understand. I talked to Celetano about funding a more permanent position. You mean... Stay. I thought about it. You were sent here to root out corruption, and you did. Not to mention, you keep helping my detectives solve cases. I do, don't I? Mm-hmm. And Noonan's not using the office anymore, so... (laughs) What will I do with all this space? Well, I'll help, and my desk is right outside. (giggles) For the time being. Officer Blanke, I'm putting you on the fast track to become a detective. It's time. Thank you, sir. I won't let you down. You'd better not. Oh, Captain Wagner. Now we really should hug. All right. Make it quick. (giggles): Okay. Back to work. Aye aye, Captain Charles Wallace Wagner. I read the report. I won't mention it again. (snorts) (both laughing, squealing) Captioning sponsored byCBS and TOYOTA.
