Script episode 'Gang Bang' Chapter 6

Rizzoli knocks on the door. A woman answers the door.

Woman: Can I help you?

Rizzoli: I'm detective Rizzoli, this is detective Frost and this is Elena Wate. (shows badge)

We're looking for Dwayne Wyzinsky.

Woman: He's inside. Come on in.

They enter the house.

Frost: This is one big house.

Rizzoli: Too big for a guy of his age, if you ask me.

They enter the living room.

Woman: Please, take a seat. (points at the couch and the armchairs and walks away)

Frost: Look at all this furniture.

Rizzoli: Like I said, it all seems a bit too expensive.

Rizzoli and Elena sit down on the couch, while Frost takes a seatin an armchair.

Dwayne and the woman enter the room.

Dwayne: Hello, detectives and …... Elena. I'm not surprised to see you here. How are you doing?

Rizzoli: We ask the questions here, Mr. Wyzinsky.

Dwayne: Yes, of course.

Rizzoli: We're here to investigate the murder on Ethan Wise.

Dwayne: I understand, otherwise she wouldn't be here. (looks at Elena)

Rizzoli: What do you mean by that?

Dwayne: Well, Ethan would be here if it was her we were talking about. Its tragic.

Elena: Don't pretend you care! (stands up)

Rizzoli: Miss Wate, sit down please.

Elena sits down.

Frost: Where were you this Saturday night, between 09.45 and 10.15 pm?

Dwayne: I was here, at home.

Rizzoli: Is there someone who can confirm that?

Woman: I can. He was here with me.

Rizzoli: And what is your name, ma'am?

Woman: Tracy Stewart.

Frost: What was the relationship like between Ethan and Seth Matthews?

Dwayne: As far as I know, it was a good one.

Rizzoli: Do you have any idea what he was doing at the crime scene, the night Ethan was murdered?

Dwayne: I have no idea, I only know I lost a good friend that night. (looks at Elena)

Rizzoli: Do you know anyone who would wanted to harm Ethan? Did he have any enemies?

Dwayne: Enemies? No, Ethan was the sort of guy everybody liked. But he recently had a fight with someone. It was pretty serious.

Rizzoli: Do you know his name?

Dwayne: As a matter of fact, I do. Her name is Elena Wate. (looks at Elena)

Shocked expressions on the faces of Rizzoli, Frost and Elena.

Elena: How did you know, huh? (stands up)

Tell me! Right now!

Dwayne: I knew you had feelings for him. But he turned you down, didn't he?

Elena: Shut Up, Dwayne! You don't know what you're talking about!

Dwayne: I don't?

Rizzoli has to break them apart.

Rizzoli: I think we're done here. Thank you for your time.

Dwayne: It has been my pleasure. Bye, Miss Wate.

Elena is still furious and Rizzoli has to drag her outside.

Elena: I will kill him!

Rizzoli: What the hell was that about? Are you hiding something from me?

Maybe this was a mistake.

Elena: Don't you get it? Don't you see what he's trying to pull off? He's placing the spotlights on ME, instead of himself! He's on to something. He has to be.

Rizzoli: How do you know that for sure? His accusation made a pretty big impression on you. On all of us, actually.

Elena: So, what? It's not about me right now!

Rizzoli: Yes, it is! You didn't tell me the whole story. God, Elena.

Elena: I'm sorry, but it's Dwayne. It can't be someone else.

Rizzoli: And how do you know that? Do you have any proof?

Elena: Haven't you heard what he said? He said 'I lost a good friend that night'. A friend. Not two. And did you see his face? Every time he said Ethan's name, he had this smug expression on his face.

Rizzoli: Is that all you've got?

Elena: Rizzoli, I know him. He loves to be the center of attention and suddenly he doesn't want it anymore. Like I said, he's on to something.

Rizzoli: Okay, if that's all. Get in the car and I will drive you home.

Elena: So, you're gonna let him go? He killed Ethan for god's sake!

Rizzoli: Elena, what else can I do? I can't arrest a man because he had 'a certain' expression on his face.

Elena: So, you don't believe me? After all I've done for you to solve this case?

Rizzoli: Elena, I...

Elena: No, I've heard enough. It's not far away to my house. (tears fill her eyes)

Bye, detective. (walks away)

Rizzoli: Elena, wait.

But Elena doesn't turn around.
