Ep 3. Trust Me

In New Tricks season 2 episode 3 "Trust Me," the team of retired detectives at the Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad is faced with a case involving the death of a wealthy businessman, Charles Wickenham. When his wife, Sandra, approaches the team with suspicions that her husband's death may not have been an accident, the team sets out to investigate.

The team, led by Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman, has to navigate through the world of high finance and corporate politics to uncover the truth. The case is complicated by the fact that Wickenham's business partner, Ray Everett, has gone missing, and there is evidence that he may have been involved in the death.

As the team delves deeper into the case, they discover a web of greed, betrayal, and deception that makes it difficult to determine who to trust. They must rely on their own intuition and experience to piece together the clues and uncover the truth.

Meanwhile, tensions are high within the team, as Gerry Standing, a former detective who has a history with Pullman, has an altercation with his ex-wife's new partner. The situation threatens to spiral out of control, and Pullman has to step in to defuse the situation.

The episode also touches on some of the personal struggles faced by the members of the team. Brian Lane, who suffers from OCD, is struggling to come to terms with his condition, while Jack Halford is still dealing with the death of his wife. These personal stories provide a nice contrast to the main case and add depth to the characters.

Overall, "Trust Me" is a well-crafted episode of New Tricks that will keep viewers guessing until the very end. The blend of mystery, humor, and personal drama make it a compelling entry in an already strong second season.
