"Hey." "Have you been wait a long?" "I just got here." "Traffic was a bitch." "Yeah, the big dig." "The gift that keeps on giving." "How many?" "Two." "Bang bang." "Bang bang." "Must feel weird around the morgue today." "Did Jordan leave yet?" "Not yet." "If we're quick about this, you can still get back in time to see her." "That's okay." "I figured we'd be busy." "So I just sent something." "How thoughtful." "All right." "Is that a holster?" " And a badge." " Oh, my God." "No!" "Daddy!" "Ma'am, I'm sorry." "You can't be here." "You got to be on the other side of the tape." "You were supposed to keep him safe." "Could you tell me his name?" "You put a target on his back, and you don't even know who he is?" "Bobby Seaver." "I'm sorry." "I have no idea what you're talking about." "J.J. Keene." "My father was going to testify against him." "Hey." " Time to go, huh?" " It is." "Some enterprising grad student should do a study on how people spend their last few hours before major surgery." "I'm sure someone has." "Some people stay home and alphabetize the pantry." "Me, I go to work and alphabetize the tissue stains." "You can leave it alone." "I'll finish up." "No, no." "Almost done." "Uh, already at "W."" " All right, it is time to go." " Yeah." "Hey, let's just..." "Let's slip out quietly, huh?" "No hugs, no flowers." "You got something against flowers?" "It's what you bring when someone dies." "It's just you and me." "Yeah." "Oh, here she comes." "Jordan?" "Oh, ah..." "Okay, wow." "Ah..." "Look, we um..." "We just wanted you to know that..." "Yeah." "Thanks." "You'll be fine." "It's not rocket science, it's just brain surgery." "See you." "Listen, I swear I had no idea." "At least no one brought flowers." "You know where I can find Jordan Cavanaugh?" "Sorry, ah..." "Out sick." "Synchro:" "Stilly, Dekka." "If only he hadn't worked late that night." "He wouldn't have seen the killing." "Thank you." "Here." "I want to help." "But I need to know what your father knew." "What he was going to testify to, exactly." "He was coming home from work." "SUV pulls up." "Four or five bangers inside." "They didn't see my dad." "J.J. Keene gets out." "He pulls a boy from the back... and shoots him dead." "Your father identified J.J. as the shooter?" "Let's go." "Get out of here, let's go." "Yeah." "J.J. wanted his crew to see what happens if you cross him." "After they drove off, my dad ran over." "He should have left." "He should have ran home, but he stayed with that boy and did CPR." "He kept at it until the cops showed up." "Your father was a very brave man, Tracy." "He was a fool." "You don't cross J.J." "Not if you want to live." "Heard about what happened." "Sorry for your loss." "That's him, isn't it?" "The stones on this guy." "He kills a witness and a cop and shows up with a wreath an hour later." "Jasper Keene." "Street name of J.J." "Awaiting trial for the murder of one Darryl Bellamy." "Hey, any word on Jordan yet?" "It's early." "Probably still in pre-op." "Did she get my flowers?" "Yeah." "She liked them." "Listen, I'm going to stop by the hospital later on, if you want to take a ride down together." "Definitely." "Tell me I heard this wrong." "Three days 'til trial and Bobby Seaver's IDs was my entire case." " What the hell happened out there?" " You know what happened." "J.J. Keene killed him and the cop who was guarding him." "Not Keene, slippery son of a bitch never carries a gun." "He shot Darryl Bellamy." "To set an example." "He saw him talking to a narc." "He's throwing this in your face." "Our face." "He picked the wrong guy to mess up with today." " I'm picking him up." " I'll meet you at interrogation." "Keene's lawyer has already filed a motion to dismiss the earlier case." "Witness hasn't been dead two hours." "How did he even type it up that fast?" "Maybe he typed it up last night." "Maybe he had a hunch." "First we'll be threading the endoscopic instruments through the soft nasal tissues into the cranium." "Once we reach the meningioma, we lance it and remove it one section at a time." "Wow, sounds like fun." "We should be ready to roll in a few minutes." "Thank you." "It's pretty amazing they can actually do this stuff." "You know?" "Just reach in there." "Grab something, yank it out of your skull." "Uh, listen." "Just so you know." "I..." "When I was filling out the admission forms, I..." "I put your name on line 29." "Yeah?" "What's line 29?" "Legal guardian." "What about you dad?" "Oh, we haven't spoken in ages." "Now might be a good time to call him, you know?" "You've got to be kidding." "The last thing I need is him stalking the halls and badgering the nurses." "You and I both know there's a pretty good chance" "I won't come out of this the same person." "That's not going to happen." "If something goes south on the table today," "I don't want to spend the next 40 years, drooling in front of a TV." "Jordan, that is not going to happen." "Unless it does." "Promise me." "If I'm unable to end it, you'll end it for me." "Tell me you are kidding, J.J." "Please, tell me you are kidding." "You were in church with your mama?" "She likes to go early." "So I take her when I can." "Such a good boy." "Takes his mother to church, while his people are gunning down the state's witness." "That is an outrageous accusation." "Bobby Seaver was a good man." "A good citizen with a job, and a daughter who loved him very much." "Look, I feel for the family and that's why I brought the wreath." "Yeah, about that." "How did you know Seaver was dead?" "According to your timeline, you were sitting in a pew." "Singing hymns." "It's my hood." "I know everything." "Mr. Keene is very involved in his community." "And how did you manage to file a motion to dismiss not 40 minutes after the murder?" "I'm good." "I'm fast." "I'm expensive." "Next question?" "Why they let scum like you out on bail, I will never understand." "Dial it down, detective." "We're here as a courtesy." "You killed a cop." "You killed a witness." "You got something on me?" "Bring it." "That was the court clerk." "The judge has ruled on the motion." "As we no longer have a witness, the murder charges against you have been dismissed." "I think we're done here." "We're not done." "Nice meeting y'all." "It's not like it's smooth sailing once she's out of surgery, you know." "Right, recovery." "Post-operative depression can be a steep mountain to climb." "I was reading an article recently extolling the benefit of pets for post-op patients." "No." "Animal companionship can really lift the spirits." "We are not getting her a pet, Nigel." "Maybe just a little kitty?" "No kitties, no doggies, no monkeys." "This is Jordan Cavanaugh we're talking about." "She can't keep a plant alive." "The guy was just a rookie." "Ten months on the force." "CSU pull anything from the scene?" "There were fingerprints on the car in the victim's blood." "But they're smudged." "Blowback." "Blood hits the shooter's hand, hand touches the car..." "Nope." "Unreadable." "So..." "Zip on trace." "Zip on forensics." "A whole lot of zip." "You don't have to hang around the whole time." "I'll keep that in mind." "Yeah, but it's gonna be six, seven hours." "Why don't you go to the more, do some work." "No, it's fine." "I'll catch up on my magazines." "Hey, Garret, if I don't make it..." "I want to be buried at St. Anne's." "Would you stop it?" "Why didn't I write this down?" "I should've written it down." "Ah, say it, okay?" "St. Anne's." "I got it." "St. Anne's" "Try to find a spot near my mom, okay?" "Tracy?" "Uh, they said I could have his things." "It's his wallet." "It was a Father's Day present, like, ten years ago." "I don't think he changed the pictures in this since the day I gave it to him." "May I?" "Look at you." "It's me and my sister Melina." " She live here?" " Baltimore." "I was thinking of maybe moving down there with her." "How can a person be there and then all of a sudden, they're gone?" "It doesn't make any sense, you know?" "Damn, you're quick." "So many bodies, so little time." "All nine-millimeter bullets, but from two different guns." "Jasper Keene certainly did not pull this off alone." "Unless he was shooting cowboy style." "Pow, pow." "Striation match?" "Not in Massachusetts." "When are the Feds going to get their act together" " and build a user-friendly database?" " I don't know, but I'm certainly not waiting around." "I designed my own program that can access all 50 states." "It's called the Neo-Algorithmic National Comparative Index." "NANCI." "NANCI?" "Unfortunately it can only access one network at a time, so we will start with Alabama, and by... sundown tonight, hopefully we'll reach Wyoming." "What are the headlines?" "Nothing yet." "We thought we'd call the hospital in about half an hour." "Right." "And the autopsies?" "Seaver caught three in the chest, two in the head, from two different guns." "As for the officer, you'll have to ask Bug." "Oh, that's right." "He isn't finished yet." " But you are." " Yep." "Good, I need for you to take a fresh look at the Darryl Bellamy case from three months ago." "And I need a weekend on the Cote d'Azur with Alain Ducasse in the kitchen." " What does she mean by that?" " She means it's not going to happen." "Hey." "The charges against Jasper Keene have been dropped." "We dig up some new forensics, we can get Walcott back on track." "Well, I'd love to help, but I have a dozen bodies in the cooler." "A witness was gunned down in cold blood." "He left a daughter wondering why her father ever stepped up." "Well, that's a shame, but re-opening a closed case is neither within your purview nor my protocol." "Which translates..." "Which translates, I don't work for you." "No, that would be Dr. Macy, who I did not want to bother today." "But I will if I have to." "Thank you." "This is the police report from the crime scene." "Thank you." "New equipment come in?" "Not exactly." "It's for tropical fish." "Right." "And we need fish in the morgue because..." "It's for Jordan, for her hospital room." "See, we fill it and we have it bedside when she wakes." "They're the perfect companions for recuperation." "Didn't we just have the "no pets" conversation?" "But think about it, Bug." "An undersea paradise teeming with ichthyological splendor." "Let me spell it out for you." "When flora or fauna are in Jordan's presence, they tend to die." "Look, why are you doing this?" "Because I have to do something." "Pace yourself." "It usually takes a lot longer than they say it's going to be." "I'm Rachel." "Hi." "I'm Garret." "My daughter, she was diagnosed with a brain glioma when she was four." "Last month they found three small tumors on her temporal lobe." "So sorry." "She's a fighter." "She made it through six surgeries in five years." "I've got a daughter myself." "I can't imagine how difficult that must be." "Like anything, you adjust." "It's not so easy on her brother, though." "He's about 12, something like that?" "Yeah, just wants to be out riding skateboards, lighting firecrackers." "Sounds pretty good to me right about now." "Uh, what about you?" "I..." "I'm just... here with a friend." "You know, she's, uh... she's more like family, really." "We work at the same place." " Where do you work?" " At the morgue." "I'm a medical examiner." "Um, I..." "I really should be getting back to my son." " Yeah." " It was nice meeting you." "It's nice to meet you." "Bellamy took one in the stomach, double tap to the head." "Everything about the scene reads execution, autopsy was by the book." "Jordan did good work." "Tell me there's more to the story." "One hair was lifted from the edge of a wound." "Now, this was back when Ivers had replaced our sequencer, as you may recall." " It wasn't tested?" " Only a PCR." "Faster, cheaper DNA." "All it told us was the hair didn't match anyone connected to the case." "We let it go." "Now that you got your fancy machine back..." "I ran a full sequence." "Punch line is... it's nearly a 50% match to Bobby Seaver." "Not his, but apparently a close relative's." " Tracy." " She was there." "She must have been with her dad that night." " Who else knows about this?" " Well, I called the DA." " Why did you do that?" " Woody, she witnessed a murder." "So did her father." "Her dead father." "Just stick her on a slab too, why don't you?" "Tracy!" "Tracy!" "I, uh... think it was an SUV." "I didn't catch the plates, though." "Son of a bitch." "All right, go ahead and frisk." "I ain't strapped." "Look, I've been around the corner at the record store." "I stepped out when I heard the shots." "Ask the girl working there, she heard them too." "Get out of my face." "You know, I don't know much about how the criminal mind works, but it seems to me..." "Somebody don't want you hanging around this neighborhood." "Your favorite." "Prosciutto and provolone sandwich, fresh from Lucetta's." "Thanks." "Figured you must be starving by now." " Is Woody around?" " I haven't seen him." "Oh, we were supposed to drive up together." "Must have got our signals crossed." "I was hoping to be here for when she gets out of surgery." "Could be any minute now, right?" "I wouldn't hold my breath." "I mean, these things take longer than you think." "Can't wait to see her." "Open her eyes, all patched up, good as new." " You and me, both." " Yeah." "Fibrin foam." "Pen 6 dissector." "There's a lot more here than I was hoping for." "We've got a bleeder." "I need bipolar cautery." "She's losing pressure." "?" "It's arterial, possibly carotid." "Irrigation." "Pressure's still dropping. 80 over 60." "Sorry, detective." "No interruptions." "DA's orders." " She didn't mean me." "It's my case." " She said no interruptions, period." "You know the penalty for perjury, Tracy?" "I don't know what you want from me." "You were in the alley that night." "Your hair was found on Darryl Bellamy's body." "You were there, Tracy." "Please don't do this." "Maybe you were helping your dad at the mini-mart." "The two of you were leaving together." "It must have been terrible to watch that boy die and not be able to do a thing to stop it." "He was pleading for his life." "Keene shot him in his stomach, and he fell to his knees." "And he was begging, "don't do it. "" "Don't do it." "Don't do it." "Don't do it." "Let's go!" "Do you want to know how my hair got on his body?" "I was trying to pull my dad off." "This poor guy was dying, and I was begging my dad to run home before the police got there." "And your father stayed." "And I didn't." "If I testify, they'll kill me." "You know they'll kill me." " You cannot make her testify." " I can and I will." "You put her on the stand, she'll be dead in a week." " We'll protect her." " Like we protected her dad?" "Well, obviously we'll have to do a better job next time." "Jasper Keene owns these streets, not us." "Witness testimony is the bedrock of the criminal justice system." "Tracy saw a murder." "And I'm not going to stand by and witness hers." "I know this is a difficult day for you, but I have to wonder if personal issues aren't clouding your judgment here." "W" " What the hell is that supposed to mean?" "Maybe you're confusing Tracy with another person." "Maybe... it's someone else you're really trying to save." "We are back on the docket." "The trial starts the day after tomorrow, pending Keene's re-arrest." "I will put Tracy under 24-hour guard." "Not good enough." "Okay, what's your plan?" "The morgue?" "Of all the buildings in Boston, why the morgue?" "Exactly." "You can stay here tonight." "Tomorrow we'll come up with a new plan." "There'll be police in the hallway at all times." "These are going to die if I don't do something." "Whose office is this?" "A friend." "Why are you doing this?" "What do you want from me?" "I want to nail J.J." "Nobody's ever going to do that." "'m going to do that." "You're going to do that." "Just because you want something to be so, doesn't make it so." "How do you plan on getting this to the hospital, now that it's filled with water?" "How's Jordan?" "She's doing fine." "You drove all the way back from the hospital to tell us she's fine?" "Nige?" "There's been some bleeding, but they're getting it under control." "It's just going to take a little longer than expected." " I'm going back with you." " I guess I'll leave the fish for later." "I'll drive." "You guys go, I'll take care of things here." "Hey, is Nigel around?" " They just went back to the hospital." " Did his NANCI thing work?" "That Neo... what's it, whatever?" "Any idea what this means?" "I guess that's your ballistics trace to Pennsylvania." "I can see that." "A little more detail would be nice." "The two guns that shot Seaver and Coleite were used in a crime in Philadelphia a year and a half ago." "The weapons were never found, but an eyewitness led to the arrest of two suspects." "Arif Cuttahey and Beau Wallace." "Well, either they or their weapons are in Boston." "Let me check the RMV database." "Excuse me." "Look, I told you we don't own those guns no more." "Reported them stolen, like, a year ago." "Okay, all right." "Let me just get this straight." "Somebody steals your guns back in Philly and then uses them here in Boston a year later," " Two blocks from where you live?" " I guess so." "Gotta hand it to J.J. Keene." "He runs a tight crew." "Tell me how it works exactly." "He just tells you who to gun down and then you...do it?" " We didn't clip anyone." " Oh, not just anyone." "Bobby Seaver, officer Nick Coleite." "What up, Beau?" "J.J. didn't tell you?" "You were doing a cop?" "Oops, that's some hard time." "Juries do not like cop killers." "It's okay, it's okay." "You're scared." "I get it." "You don't want to end up like Darryl Bellamy." "Yeah, I heard about that." "Word is he got smoked for talking to a cop." "You were on the SUV that night, weren't you?" "Poor kid." "On his knees, just begging and begging," ""Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it. "" "Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it." "Yeah." "You were there." "Don't know nothing about Darryl Bellamy." "And we didn't shoot no police." "Okay." "Tell you what." "I'm going to let|the two of you think about this overnight in a jail cell." "Maybe it'll come back to you." "So, that's the best|you got, cop?" "Holding us without charges." "See, tomorrow at this time, we're out." "And you still|got nothing." "Still pacing, huh?" "Yeah, it's been, like, 40 minutes." "Dr. M..." "What the hell is|going on back there?" "It's 3:00 in the morning." "She can't still be hemorrhaging." "She wouldn't have any blood left." "There's nothing we can do but wait." "Sir?" " You're not allowed|back here." " I'm sorry, please..." " I'm going to have to ask you to leave." " I understand,|" "I just..." "I'm a doctor." "This is where|" "I need to be." "All right." "Thank you." "So...you work at the morgue?" " Yeah." " If my sister doesn't make it... that's where they'll take her, right?" "Listen, I hear your sister's a fighter." "She's going to be okay." "Right." "That's what everyone says." "But people do die." "I mean, you must see that all the time, right?" "Yeah, it does tend to come up in my line of work." "What happens to them?" "After they die?" "Well, if there's a question about cause of death, they're brought|to us and we use various tools of science to try and answer those questions." "And if my sister dies in surgery today, what will happen to her then?" "I just..." "I just want to know." "Her body will be taken to a holding area here in the hospital." "I think it's in the basement." "And then, um..." "Later, they'll move her|to a funeral home where arrangements will|be made for burial or... cremation, whatever your family wants." " No one will talk about it." " It's hard to talk about it, you know?" "I figure... it's like when you get on a plane and you talk about it crashing." "You know, if you talk about it, it's not going to happen." "Too big of a coincidence, you know?" "Yeah, maybe it's like that." " Dr. M." " Thanks." " Nige." " Yeah, I'll be back soon." "I just want to grab the aquarium and bring it down so it's there when she wakes." "Well, I think if I strap it securely in the back of the van..." "Call me if you hear anything." "This isn't good." "Plakat Morh, from Thailand." "Must be kept in a separate tank... from all the others." "It's a fighting fish." "It's a fighting fish." "How is she?" "Oh, you remembered?" "I was planning on stopping by the hospital last night." "Yeah, what did you get, a flat tire?" "Something more captivating on the telly perhaps?" "Maybe that new show about the superheroes?" "I'm protecting a witness, not to mention trying to put away a pair of murders." "Dr. Macy hasn't slept in two days." "Bug's still there." "I just left." "Jordan is fighting for her life." "I know you matched ballistics, but you're certain these are your guys?" "Yes." "You gotta give me something else to make this charges stick." "Well, I'm not a miracle worker." "Autopsy reports, trace, lab results, CSU, no perp contact, no unidentified DNA, nothing." "I need some way to leverage them." "The only thing even resembling evidence... the fingerprints|in Coleite's car, but they're smudged beyond recognition." "What if they weren't?" " But they are." " What if they weren't?" "Thank God." "How is she?" "Well, she hasn't opened her eyes yet." "Where's the rest of them?" "Oh, I decided to go with just one." "Didn't want to overwhelm sleeping beauty." "I've named him Evander." "Like Holyfield,|the fighter?" "Yeah, exactly." "What did Dr. Sanchez say?" "Well, the vitals look good." "Pressure's returning." "Brain swelling's always a concern, but with the Mannitol she should be okay." "And?" "A segment of the|meningioma was entwined with her carotid artery." "There was no way to remove it." "Is there an|alternative procedure?" "No, it's something she's gonna have to live with." "May be a problem tomorrow or the next day, maybe never." "We'll know more when she wakes up." " When's that going to be?" " He didn't know." "The anesthetic should have worn off by now." "Yeah." "I'm sorry, I don't understand." "If the anesthetic's worn off, why hasn't she woken up?" "He didn't know that either." "You recognize this, Arif?" "You should." "It's your fingerprint." "And this is yours." "Both formed in dried blood that has been positively identified as being blown out of the side of officer Coleite's head." "Blowback blood hits your hand, hand touches the car..." "You're going away for a long, long time." "Only thing left to discuss is where." "And if you survive." " What's that supposed to mean?" " You killed a cop, jackass." "I don't know how it works in Philly, but here in Boston that pisses a lot of people off." "Detective has a point." "Cops don't like it when cops die." "What I'd like to do with scum like two of you is send you to Walpole." "That is the meanest, nastiest skankhole that we have here in the system." "Then I'll probably leak to all the creeps in your crew that you flipped, maybe even tell them that you gave us| ome names in Philly..." "You wouldn't last a week." "Shiv...right to the back." "It's a rough way to go." "See, here in Massachusetts, we don't have capital punishment, so we kind of invented our own." "What are you offering?" "Brighton Correctional, upstate." "State of the art|security, weapons free, outside the reach of gangs, but... it'll cost you." "Full confessions on|the shooting deaths of Bobby Seaver and Nick Coleite." "Positive ID of Jasper Keene for the murder of Darryl Bellamy." "You want us to give up K?" "I want to call the lawyer." "Oh, that would be the same lawyer that represents J.J.?" "That's right." "Go ahead, call him." "And why don't you tell him that we've offered you|a deal to turn on J.J." "Hey, this is Detective Hoyt." "Yeah, I'll hold." "Full confessions,|testimony against Keene, and fingerprints|to boot." "Almost too good to be true." "Sometimes the stars just line right up." "As I recall, we turned that crime scene inside out looking for fingerprints, came up empty." "Paris Hilton, Bobby Brown." "It's amazing what you can find on the Internet these days." "There's no law that says cops can't lie to suspects." "And that, my friend, is the bedrock of the criminal justice system." "Hey, yeah, I'd like to put out an APB on a Jasper Keene, one count of murder in the first degree, two counts of murder for hire." "It's going to be nice to sleep on my own bed again." "Hey, it's the morgue, not the Four Seasons." "You're sure I'm not going to have to testify?" "I put the word out that you refused to talk." "Keene was apprehended a half hour ago." "No one will connect you to his trial." "The guys who pulled the trigger on your dad are going to prison for a long time." "Probably life." "I don't know what to say." "Thank you." "I hope your friend likes the flowers." "I wanted to thank you for talking to my son." "No one ever mentions death in our family." "It's uh... just something|that's too close." "Tyler had some questions." "I'm glad you could give him answers." "He's a good kid." " Oh, how's your friend?" " She, you know, uh..." "She's, she..." "She's okay." "She's not, uh..." "She's not conscious yet, um, and we're not really sure why." "Uh, there's..." "There's a concern that there might be some... so you know, we're hoping for the best." " It's going to be good." " Maybe, um, you know what?" "Maybe it's..." " it's like one of|those things..." " Yeah." "...that when you say it out loud, then it won't ever happen." "That sounds like something somebody once told me about getting on a plane." " Hey, good luck." " Thank you." "Hey, sorry I couldn't get here any sooner." "It's been, there was a case." "I'm glad you're here." "Come with me." "Hi."
