Following an intense session, she retreats to a shower stall, enjoying the solitude. However, her peace is shattered when two fellow officers, Garnet and Oberman, enter and begin arguing. Peabody overhears them discussing illicit activities involving a "product," a house in the islands, and a person named Keener, who is linked to a suspicious overdose.

Understanding the gravity of the situation, Peabody enlists Eve and her husband, Roarke, to gather the necessary evidence to expose the corrupt cops, fully aware that they have already committed murder to protect their secrets and will likely do so again.
