Presumed Innocent

As Rusty leaves the office late, he sees Raymond, who is looking at polling figures. Raymond thinks he will lose the election, and Rusty feels the same resignation. Raymond offers to help Rusty find his next job, maybe as a judge, but Rusty is noncommittal.

Rusty updates Raymond on Carolyn’s murder investigation, including the fact that Tommy Molto is running a shadow investigation for Nico. They discuss Kumagai and decide that he didn’t change the results, just withheld them. Rusty asks if Raymond was sleeping with Carolyn. Raymond admits that he was, but it ended four months ago, just after Raymond announced his campaign. Rusty remembers what Marty said about Carolyn wanting to run for prosecuting attorney. He realizes that Carolyn was positioning herself to be Raymond’s successor if he didn’t run.

Rusty asks Raymond why he gave the B file to Carolyn, as it was outside her purview. Rusty admits that Carolyn asked for it during their affair. Rusty wishes Raymond told him about the B file earlier.

At Dr. Robinson’s office, Rusty told the psychiatrist about his affair with Carolyn. Every day, he waited to be with her, but Carolyn wouldn’t reveal her feelings. He likened his feelings to “turmoil,” and felt like he opened Pandora’s box.
