"THANK YOU GUYS FOR HELPING ME TAKE MY MOM OUT FOR BREAKFAST." "IT'S KIND OF WEIRD" "THAT SHE CAN'T LEAVE REHAB WITHOUT THE POLICE." "HEY, IF MY MOM DRINKS OR USES AGAIN," "DO THEY KICK HER OUT OF A.A.?" "IF THEY KICKED EVERYBODY OUT WHO FELL OFF THE WAGON," "TRUST ME, THOSE MEETINGS WOULD GET REALLY SMALL." "LOOK, KID, SEEING HOW YOUR MOM IS COMING UP ON TWO MONTHS" "AND HEARING HOW SHE WANTS TO STAY IN RECOVERY," "I THINK SHE SAID A LOT OF THE RIGHT THINGS." "MY PHILOSOPHY IN LIFE..." "STAY POSITIVE!" "OKAY, THEN." "THINKING POSITIVE, I-I SHOULD GET A JOB." "HOW DOES THAT RELATE?" "WHAT DOES IT MATTER?" "JOBS BUILD CHARACTER." "DID I EVER TELL YOU ABOUT MY FIRST JOB?" "CABIN BOY ON THE MAYFLOWER?" "OH, NO..." "DISHWASHER AT THE LAST SUPPER." "LAUGH IT UP." "LAUGH IT UP." "BUT I GREW UP IN THE..." "UH, IN THE '60s." "THOSE WERE THE DAYS, MY FRIENDS." "YEAH." "PROVENZA." "Lieutenant Provenza?" "Captain Baird, West L.A." "How you doing, Louie?" "You sound a little down." "WELL, YOU KNOW, NO WORSE THAN USUAL." "UH, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU, CAPTAIN BAIRD?" "Well, we may have a murder at 1050 South Mapleton... very pricy part of town." "Could you check it out for us?" "1050 SOUTH MAPLETON." "YES, SIR." "WE'RE ON IT." "WAIT." "SO, JUST LIKE THAT, WE TURN AROUND?" "WELL, CAPTAIN BAIRD GIVES US ORDERS, WE FOLLOW THEM," "EVEN IF WE CAN'T QUITE REMEMBER WHO HE IS AT THE MOMENT." "AND YOUR FIRST NAME IS LOUIE?" "UNLESS YOU OUTRANK ME OR I DIVORCED YOU," "MY FIRST NAME IS LIEUTENANT." "TAKE A LEFT UP HERE, FLYNN." "I KNOW A SHORTCUT." "OKAY, NO CRIME-SCENE TAPE, NO PATROL." "WHERE'S THE ROLLOUT?" "MAYBE THEY GOT FRIGHTENED OFF BY THE LANDSCAPING." "LOOK." "IT'S TRIGGER." "HEY, GUYS, THANKS FOR GETTING HERE SO QUICKLY!" "CAPTAIN BAIRD?" "THAT'S THAT DICK TRACY LUNATIC." "I THOUGHT HE WAS IN A MENTAL INSTITUTION." "WHAT'S GOING ON?" "WHO IS THAT GUY?" "SOME NUTCASE WHO LIKES TO IMPERSONATE COPS." "BACK UP, FLYNN." "I AM NOT DEALING WITH THIS GUY AGAIN." "ALL RIGHT, HOLD ON." "MAYBE THERE'S TROUBLE." "NO, NO, NO." "F-FLYNN, DO NOT ROLL DOWN THAT WINDOW." "F-FLYNN, DO NOT LEAN YOUR HEAD OUT THERE." "FLYNN, I AM ORDERING YOU NOT TO LET HIM TALK TO US!" "LIEUTENANT PROVENZA, YOU'RE LOOKING WELL." "DAMN IT!" "GLAD I HELD ON TO YOUR NUMBER." "LIEUTENANT FLYNN." "GOOD MORNING, YOUNG MAN." "CAPTAIN BAIRD, CHIEF OF SECURITY, BREWSTER ESTATE." "GUYS, THIS IS SAD," "BUT WE GOT A BODY HERE..." "13-YEAR-OLD MALE." "IT'S ONE OF THE WORST MURDERS I'VE EVER SEEN." "THIS HAD BETTER NOT BE ANOTHER OF YOUR DELUSIONS." "NO, NO, NO, NO." "DON'T WORRY, LOUIE." "I-I'M NOT DICK TRACY ANYMORE." "I'M JUST PLAIN, OLD CAPTAIN JONATHAN BAIRD." "A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF MY THERAPY" "HAS BEEN EMBRACING MY REAL NAME." "ANYWAY, HOP IN." "I'LL TAKE YOU TO THE VICTIM." " WAIT IN THE CAR." " NO PROBLEM." "I'M NOT GONNA BE A WITNESS IN ANOTHER MURDER TRIAL." "THAT'S FOR SURE." "NONE OF THESE ARE THE REAL STATUE OF "DAVID."" "BUT YOU HAVE TO ADMIT..." "GOOD LIKENESSES." "I PUT THE SWIMSUITS ON THE ONES AROUND THE POOL MYSELF." "NORMALLY, DRIVING BY ALL THIS ART..." "THE SCULPTURES, THE STUFFED ANIMALS, THE NEON..." "LIFTS MY SPIRITS, BUT NOT TODAY." "NOT TODAY." "ALL RIGHT, GENTLEMEN, HERE WE ARE," "THE END OF A VERY SAD RIDE." "ARE YOU TELLING ME..." "THAT YOU CALLED US OUT HERE FOR A DEAD DOG?" "WELL, HE'S NOT JUST DEAD." "HE'S A MURDER VICTIM, AND IT HAPPENED RECENTLY, TOO." "LOOK." "HE'S STILL IN RIGOR, OKAY?" "AND WHERE HE THREW UP," "THE VOMIT HAS NOT ALL DRIED AWAY YET." "HEY, GUYS, GUYS, GUYS, GUYS," "THAT DOG..." "FALCON..." "HE'S IN THE NEWS." "THIS IS THE $20 MILLION DOGHOUSE." "HOLD ON A MINUTE." "THAT'S THE MALTESE" "THAT SOME CRAZY LADY MADE THE HEIR TO HER ESTATE." "SHE HAD SOME FAMILY SHIPPING FORTUNE." "WHAT'S HER NAME?" "MARCELLA BREWSTER." "AND I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE" "THAT MARCELLA AND FALCON DIED THE SAME WAY." "AND I CAN PROVE IT." "UH..." "LOOKS LIKE THE SEARCH PARTY'S BACK." "ONE MOMENT, GUYS." "IT'S THE WORST PART OF THE JOB." "OH, I'M GETTING A LITTLE WORRIED, CAPTAIN." "WE'VE LOOKED ALL THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD," "AND WE CAN'T FIND FALCON ANYWHERE." "THANK YOU, MR. KLEINER." "I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP AND THE EFFORTS OF EVERYONE" "WHO'S GATHERED TO FIND OUR LITTLE GUY" "AND BRING HIM SAFELY HOME." "UNFORTUNATELY, IT IS MY SAD DUTY TO INFORM YOU" "THAT, AT APPROXIMATELY 10:15 A.M.," "I DISCOVERED OUR BELOVED FALCON BENEATH A ROW OF SUCCULENTS," "DEAD UNDER SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES." "NOW, I KNOW THAT THIS WAS NOT THE HOPED-FOR OUTCOME," "BUT THE POLICE ARE HERE TO INVESTIGATE." "I THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SYMPATHY AND SUPPORT," "AND I KNOW YOU'LL UNDERSTAND IF I DON'T SEE YOU OUT." "OH, WE'RE..." "WE'RE SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS." "I TOOK CARE OF HIM SOME WHEN MARCELLA USED TO TRAVEL," "AND FALCON WAS A..." "A..." "A..." "A..." "A A V..." "A VERY GOOD DOG." "HE WAS." "THANK YOU FOR THAT, MR. KLEINER." "DID THIS MARCELLA BREWSTER HAVE ANY LIVING RELATIVES?" "A GREAT-NIECE AND A GREAT-NEPHEW," "BUT FALCON WAS HER REAL FAMILY." "EVER SINCE MARCELLA DIED," "THAT POOR DOG HAS HAD ONE SHOCK AFTER ANOTHER..." "DEATH THREATS ONLINE AND IN THE MAIL." "AND I WAS HIRED TO PROTECT HIM." "AND I LET FALCON DOWN." "SO, FOR ME, THIS JUST GOT PERSONAL." "MNH-MNH-MNH." "OKAY, HERE'S WHAT I THINK HAPPENED." "NOW, BY THE END, MARCELLA WAS SO SICK," "SHE COULD ONLY EAT EGGS AND IMPORTED CRAB CAKES," "DOZENS OF WHICH ARE LEFT OVER IN THE FREEZER." "NOW, WHEN WE RAN OUT OF FRESH VENISON LAST NIGHT," "I SERVED FALCON A THAWED-OUT CRAB CAKE." "HE ATE HALF OF IT, OKAY?" "AND THEN HE WENT OUT THROUGH THIS DOGGY DOOR" "TO DO HIS BUSINESS, AND HE NEVER CAME BACK." "WELL, W-WAIT A MINUTE." "ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT WHOEVER KILLED THIS DOG" "ALSO MURDERED MARCELLA BREWSTER?" "NO, NO, NO, NO, NO." "I KILLED THE DOG." "OKAY." "THAT'S IT." "TURN AROUND." "HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK." "WHAT?" "WHY?" "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" "!" "SHUT UP." "JUST..." "COME ON." "LET'S GO." "I CALLED YOU GUYS!" "YOU WOULDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS EXCEPT FOR ME!" "WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT." "LET ME EXPLAIN." "YES, I KILLED THE DOG, YES, BUT THE MURDERER" "IS WHOEVER POISONED THE CRAB CAKES." "WHAT AM I UNDER ARREST FOR, ANYWAY?" "SO FAR, IMPERSONATING A POLICE OFFICER," "ANIMAL CRUELTY, AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN SPOKEN YET AB..." "HOLD ON." "HOLD ON A MINUTE." "LET'S ALL TAKE A GIANT STEP BACK." "FLYNN, PROVENZA, IS IT TRUE YOU GUYS" "DRAGGED THIS SECURITY GUARD OFF MARCELLA BREWSTER'S ESTATE" "AND LEFT HER DEAD DOG BEHIND IN THE BUSHES?" "YES!" "NO." "WE BROUGHT THE LITTLE FELLA BACK WITH US." "IN AN ACTUAL DOGGY BAG." "WE ALSO HAVE ONE HALF-EATEN CRAB CAKE," "A FREEZER FULL OF FROZEN ONES," "AND MORE THAN A LITTLE CANINE VOMIT." "DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH MARCELLA BREWSTER" "LEFT THE LAPD MEMORIAL FUND?" "MILLIONS..." "ANNUALLY!" "AND NOW HER ATTORNEYS" "ARE THREATENING TO CUT OFF THOSE FUNDS" "BECAUSE YOU BRUTALIZED HER SECURITY GUARD." "UNCUFF HIM." "NOW!" "HA!" "CHIEF, MAYBE SOMETHING YOU DON'T KNOW..." "THIS SECURITY GUARD IS DICK TRACY." "LAST TIME WE RAN INTO DICK," "HE PRETENDED TO BE A HOMICIDE DETECTIVE," "LEFT THE SCENE OF A MURDER WITH CRUCIAL EVIDENCE," "AND IMPERSONATED FLYNN, PROVENZA, AND CHIEF POPE." "VERY SUCCESSFULLY, I MIGHT ADD." "I'VE READ THE FILE ON THAT CASE," "AND IT SAYS MR. BAIRD HERE..." "LET'S USE HIS REAL." "MR. BAIRD HELPED THE LAPD SOLVE A MURDER." "OH, COME ON!" "DON'T TELL ME YOU BELIEVE WHAT'S IN THAT FILE!" "LIEUTENANT PROVENZA, ARE YOU SAYING" "THAT THIS PRIOR CASE REPORT INVOLVING MR. BAIRD" "WAS FALSIFIED?" "FALSIFIED?" "IT WASN'T..." "FALSIFIED." "THERE'S SOME WORDING ISSUES..." "MAYBE." "WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT." "WHAT WORDING ISSUES?" "I WROTE EVERY SYLLABLE OF THAT REPORT" "WITH A METICULOUS ATTENTION TO DETAIL." "YOU WROTE THE LAPD REPORT?" "HOLD ON!" "INSTEAD OF REHASHING THE PAST, LET'S THANK MR. BAIRD" "FOR BRINGING TO OUR ATTENTION A POSSIBLE MURDER," "FOLLOW UP ON HIS CLAIMS," "AND I WILL OFFICIALLY APOLOGIZE FOR ANY MISUNDERSTANDINGS." "AND I FORGIVE YOU." "COME ON." "COME ON." "YES." "AND I FORGIVE YOU." "HMM?" "OKAY?" "AND YOU." "CAPTAIN, GET THIS MURDER DONE RIGHT" "BECAUSE I HAVE NO INTENTION OF ALLOWING" "OUR MEMORIAL FUND TO LOSE BREWSTER'S MILLIONS." "EXCUSE ME." "ALL RIGHT, MR. BAIRD..." "LET'S START OVER." "SINCE THIS IS NOW A MURDER INVESTIGATION," "WE HOPE YOU CAN GIVE US SOME OF THE RELEVANT DETAILS." "OF COURSE." "ASK ME ANYTHING." "WHEN DID YOU START WORKING FOR MS. BREWSTER?" "UH..." "GOSH." "SEE, THAT I CAN'T SAY." "EXCUSE ME?" "YEAH, I'M FORBIDDEN FROM TALKING ABOUT MY BOSS..." "CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT, IRONCLAD, SORRY." "MS. BREWSTER'S DEAD, SO WHO'S YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER?" "AGAIN, THAT'S A BIG NO-NO." "YOU DON'T KNOW WHO PAYS YOU FOR LIVING IN A MANSION" "AND NOT TAKING VERY GOOD CARE OF A DOG?" "WHOA." "HEY, THAT HURTS." "I DID THE BEST I COULD FOR FALCON." "YOU KNOW, LISTENING TO HIM BRINGS BACK MEMORIES." "AND MY CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT" "IMMEDIATELY TRANSFERRED TO MY NEW EMPLOYER..." "REALLY HORRIBLE MEMORIES." "THE MOMENT THAT MS. BREWSTER WAS DECLARED DEAD." "YOU HAD TO TALK TO HIM." "AND I CAN TELL YOU EVERYTHING I DID FOR FALCON," "OR WE CAN TALK ABOUT MY DUTIES AT THE ESTATE," "LIKE TURNING ON THE GIANT NEON LIGHTS AT NIGHT," "BRUSHING THE STUFFED HORSES..." "BUT YOU CAN'T SAY FOR WHOM." "THAT IS CORRECT." "AND LISTEN, I AM EVERY BIT AS IRRITATED BY THIS SITUATION" "AS YOU ARE BECAUSE I POSSESS INFORMATION" "THAT COULD BE VITAL TO MOVING YOUR INVESTIGATION FORWARD." "IF ONLY WE COULD..." "GUESS THE PROPER LINE OF INQUIRY?" "WHAT IS THIS, 20 QUESTIONS?" "OKAY, WELL, WHAT WERE SOME" "OF YOUR OTHER DUTIES AROUND THE HOUSE?" "NO." "YOU'RE COLD..." "VERY COLD." "HOW OFTEN DID YOU TAKE THE DOG OUT FOR A WALK?" "COLDER." "ICY, EVEN, JUST..." "BRR-RR-RR!" "OKAY, IF THIS WAS A JOB, HOW DID YOU GET PAID?" "HOT!" "SCORCHING HOT!" "OH!" "I WOULD EVEN SAY THAT YOU ARE" "RIGHT ON THE MONEY." "HOW DO I GET PAID?" "OKAY, SO, THAT CRAB CAKE THAT DICK TRACY FED THE DOG," "SIR, WAS SHOT THROUGH WITH ARSENIC." "I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT, OF COURSE." "CRAP." "DICK WAS TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT FALCON." "BUT IF YOU SUBPOENA MY BANK RECORDS..." "JUST HOLD ON." "ARSENIC?" "WELL, WHERE'S THE OLD LACE?" "W-WHO USES ARSENIC IN THIS DAY AND AGE?" "I'LL CALL THE CORONER'S OFFICE, SIR," "GET THEM STARTED ON EXHUMING MS. BREWSTER'S BODY." "AH, I THINK IT'S TOO LATE FOR THAT." "MS. BREWSTER WAS CREMATED IMMEDIATELY AFTER DEATH." ""MARCELLA BREWSTER." "YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU, SO I'M COMING BACK FOR IT."" "HOW ARE WE GOING TO PROVE ARSENIC POISONING WITH THIS?" "CHECK MY CHECKS, CRIMESTOPPERS." "THE CASE WILL PRACTICALLY SOLVE ITSELF." "SO, THE GOOD NEWS IS LIEUTENANT FLYNN SAID" "IT LOOKS LIKE MY MOM'S GONNA MAKE IT." "ALL RIGHT, HOLD ON." "I ALSO SAID IT'S A DAY-TO-DAY THING." "BUT WHEN SHE GETS OUT OF REHAB AND MOVES INTO A HALFWAY HOUSE," "SHE'S GOING TO NEED SUPPORT, FINANCIALLY." "LOOK, I-I HAVE TO GO TO WORK SOONER OR LATER, RIGHT?" "IT'S AN INCREDIBLY GENEROUS THOUGHT." "I THINK ANDY MAY HAVE SOME INSIGHT HERE." "IF YOUR MOTHER'S GONNA STAY SOBER, SHE'S GONNA NEED TO LEARN" "HOW TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HERSELF." "YEAH, YEAH, BUT I WANT TO HELP HER" "TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HERSELF." "LET'S TRY THIS..." "DOWNLOAD SOME PART-TIME JOB APPLICATIONS," "WEEKEND WORK ONLY, AND LET'S SEE WHAT YOU'RE QUALIFIED TO DO." "SO, YES?" "SO, MAYBE." "MARCELLA BREWSTER, BORN 1924, DIED MAY 11, 2014," "AND THIS IS HER MALTESE, FALCON." "LAST YEAR, MS. BREWSTER'S FORTUNE" "WAS ESTIMATED AT $300 MILLION." "MARCELLA'S ONLY HUMAN HEIRS..." "GREAT-NEPHEW CARTER BRADFORD" "AND GREAT-NIECE DEVIN BREWSTER DUNCAN..." "WERE GIVEN $1,000 EACH." "WHY ONLY $1,000?" "LEAVING A TOKEN AMOUNT TO AN HEIR" "IS ONE WAY TO PREVENT A WILL FROM BEING CHALLENGED IN COURT." "UNSURPRISINGLY, CARTER AND DEVIN" "HAVE LAWSUITS ALREADY PENDING, ANYWAY." "THE BULK OF THE ESTATE WAS LEFT TO BE MANAGED" "BY E.M. HOLDINGS INTERNATIONAL," "WHO HAVE BEEN PAYING MR. BAIRD..." "A.K.A. DICK TRACY..." "FOR MONTHS." "SO WE CAN ASSUME THAT E.M. HOLDINGS MAINTAINS" "THE CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT THAT MR. BAIRD SIGNED." "MAYBE THEY'RE INCORPORATED ABROAD." "I'LL RUN THE NAME THROUGH INTERPOL" "AND SEE WHAT THEY COME UP WITH." "JULIO, WHAT ABOUT THE CRAB CAKES?" "AH, SPECIALTY ITEM, MA'AM," "MANUFACTURED BY PROSPECT BAY CRABS" "AND SHIPPED FROZEN FROM BALTIMORE." "OKAY, SO, WHOEVER POISONED THE CRAB CAKES" "HAD TO HAVE HAD ACCESS TO MS. BREWSTER'S KITCHEN." "WHILE WE CAN'T CONFIRM MARCELLA WAS POISONED" "WITHOUT A TISSUE SAMPLE, THIS IS INTERESTING." "HMM?" "MARCELLA'S MEDICAL RECORDS SHOW THAT SHE'D BEEN SUFFERING" "FROM AN ACUTE PROMYELOCYTIC LEUKEMIA," "A CANCER OF THE WHITE BLOOD CELLS." "GOD." "CAN WE AUDIT THIS COURSE?" "ONE OF THE TREATMENTS FOR APL IS ARSENIC TRIOXIDE," "WHICH SHE'D BEEN TAKING INTRAVENOUSLY." "YOU KNOW, IF THE KILLER KNEW THAT MARCELLA" "WAS ON AN ARSENIC-BASED DRUG, MAYBE HE OR SHE THOUGHT" "THAT BY ADDING MORE POISON TO HER DIET," "IT WOULDN'T HAVE SHOWED UP AT THE AUTOPSY." "I'VE CONTACTED MARCELLA'S PERSONAL PHYSICIAN," "A DR. ENRIQUE CABRERA." "NOW, IN THE ABSENCE OF A BODY, DR. CABRERA MAY HAVE" "A LEFTOVER BLOOD SAMPLE PROVING OUR VICTIM WAS POISONED." "DR. CABRERA, HUH?" "YEAH, WELL, HE SIGNED THE OLD LADY'S DEATH CERTIFICATE" "AT 8:12 P.M. ON MAY 11th," "BUT THE POLICE DIDN'T GET THERE UNTIL 9:35," "AFTER THE BODY HAD ALREADY BEEN REMOVED." "OH, W-WAIT, THAT'S NOT STANDARD PROCEDURE." "THE BODY WAS REMOVED BEFORE OUR GUYS GOT THERE?" "WHO THE HELL DID THAT?" "IT JUST SAYS "RELEASED TO FUNERAL HOME,"" "WHERE SHE WAS CONVENIENTLY INCINERATED." "OUR PERSONAL PHYSICIAN HAS SOME EXPLAINING TO DO." "HOW DOES ONE E-EXPLAIN DEATH?" "USUALLY WITH AN AUTOPSY," "WHICH WE'RE UNABLE TO DO IN THIS CASE." "HOW LONG WAS MARCELLA UNDER YOUR CARE?" "THREE GLORIOUS YEARS." "I MISS HER LIKE I DO MY FIRST WIFE." "DID YOU DISCUSS MARCELLA'S LEUKEMIA TREATMENT WITH ANYONE?" "I'M PREVENTED FROM THAT BY FEDERAL STATUTE." "SO YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO KNEW" "ABOUT THE COMPOUNDS IN HER CHEMOTHERAPY." "I DOUBT IT." "MS. BREWSTER LIKED TO TALK TO ANYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN" "ABOUT HER HEALTH..." "AND ABOUT HER MONEY." "HOW MANY TIMES DID I HAVE TO ATTEST TO THE WOMAN'S SANITY" "BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO VIDEO A NEW WILL?" "EVERY OTHER DAY, SHE CHANGED THE TERMS," "EXCEPT FOR LEAVING" "THAT DETESTABLE MALTESE, FALCON," "HER HOUSE PLUS $20 MILLION." "I MEAN, THE DOG IS..." "CUTE..." "BUT STILL." "THE DOCTOR HAS NO ARREST RECORD, MA'AM," "BUT HE DEFINITELY KNEW SHE WAS INGESTING ARSENIC." "WHILE SHE WAS UNDER YOUR CARE," "DID YOU TAKE OR ORDER ANY BLOOD TESTS?" "OF COURSE." "MAYBE HE WAS NAMED A BENEFICIARY" "OF ONE OF MARCELLA'S VIDEO WILLS." "WELL, THEY SHOULD ALL BE A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD BY NOW." "I'LL GO LOOK." "I ASSURE YOU MS. BREWSTER DIED OF NATURAL CAUSES," "DESPITE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE" "WHO WOULD HAVE LOVED TO STRANGLE HER IN HER SLEEP." "TOWARD THE END, DID YOU NOTICE AN ABRUPT DECLINE?" "WELL, AS DECLINES GO, DEATH IS FAIRLY EXTREME." "YES, BUT, SADLY, DURING HER LAST FEW DAYS HERE ON EARTH," "MARCELLA REFUSED MY CARE AND HAD HER SECURITY GUARD," "CAPTAIN BAIRD, ESCORT ME OFF THE PROPERTY." "ONLY WHEN SHE WAS PASSING FROM THIS WORLD TO THE NEXT DID I RECEIVE A CALL." "I RUSHED TO HER SIDE, NATURALLY, BUT BY THE TIME I GOT THERE," "ALL I COULD DO WAS WHISPER A SAD..." ""ADIOS, ANCIANA..." "ADIOS."" "OH, AND SIGN THE DEATH CERTIFICATE." "CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY YOU RELEASED THE BODY" "FOR REMOVAL BEFORE THE POLICE ARRIVED?" "THAT WAS NOT ME." "AFTER I PERFORMED MY PROFESSIONAL DUTIES," "THEY IMMEDIATELY REMOVED HER BODY." "THEY REMOVED THE BODY?" "WHO ARE "THEY"?" "WELL, THE SAME PEOPLE WHO HAD TAKEN OVER HER LIFE" "AND HIRED THAT LOATHSOME CAPTAIN BAIRD." "THEY CALLED THEMSELVES ETERNAL MEADOWS." "ETERNAL MEADOWS?" "E.M." "THAT'S THE CORPORATION SHE LEFT MOST OF HER MONEY." "YES." "THEY SOUND LIKE A CULT, DON'T THEY?"

"I DON'T UNDERSTAND." "AND I HAVE SAID TOO MUCH ALREADY." "UH, IF I MAY, CAPTAIN." "LISTEN, DICK." "IN ORDER TO PROVE THE POISONING, WE HAVE TO HAVE A TISSUE SAMPLE." "YEAH, AND THE BODY WAS CREMATED." "I GET IT." "BUT IF YOU PEOPLE COULD JUST THINK IT THROUGH, HUH?" "HMM?" "ETERNAL MEADOWS FREEZES PEOPLE'S HEADS?" "!" "OH, I DON'T KNOW." "DO THEY?" "OKAY." "WHY WOULD SHE NOT PRESERVE HER ENTIRE SELF?" "BECAUSE WITH STEM-CELL ADVANCES, YOU CAN HAVE YOUR HEAD" "ATTACHED TO A YOUNGER BODY WHEN THEY THAW YOU OUT." "WELL, YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITH THAT LOGIC." "HOW ON EARTH COULD YOU WORK" "FOR A COMPANY LIKE ETERNAL MEADOWS?" "WELL, HOW ABOUT, THEY WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE ON EARTH" "WHO WOULD HIRE ME?" "WELL, HERE'S ANOTHER THING I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SAYING." "BUT IF WE'RE GONNA PROVE POISONING," "I NEED TO GET A SEARCH WARRANT" "FOR MARCELLA BREWSTER'S FROZEN HEAD." "YEAH, WELL, I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT." "NOW, I CAN'T GO WITH YOU TO ETERNAL MEADOWS" "BECAUSE THEN THEY WOULD KNOW WHO GAVE YOU THE TIP-OFF," "BUT I HAVE DRAWN A BLUEPRINT OF THEIR FACILITIES" "AS BEST I COULD REMEMBER."

"WELL, I GET THE PART ABOUT WHERE YOU CHOP OFF OUR HEADS" "AND PUT THEM ON ICE AND WE LIVE FOREVER," "BUT, UH, WHAT'S A PERPETUAL TRUST?" "WELL, AS I'M SURE YOU'D AGREE," "THE LAST THING ANYONE WOULD EVER WANT" "IS TO WAKE UP IN THE FUTURE WITH NO MONEY IN THE BANK," "SO WE MANAGE YOUR ASSETS FOR YOU WHILE YOU'RE RESTING." "FOR FREE?" "I WISH!" "OUR ELECTRICITY BILL IS THROUGH THE ROOF." "IT'S REALLY COLD BACK THERE!" "NO, BUT WE ONLY CHARGE YOUR TRUST 5% A YEAR," "WHICH IS VERY CLOSE TO THE YIELD." "HMM." "SO, IF ONE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS..." "SAY, MARCELLA BREWSTER, FOR EXAMPLE..." "GAVE YOU $300 MILLION, ETERNAL MEADOWS WOULD COLLECT..." "WOW... $15 MILLION A YEAR FOREVER..." "FOR KEEPING HER DEAD HEAD IN A CAN?" "WE OPERATE UNDER STRICT CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS." "I CAN'T DISCUSS INDIVIDUAL CLIENTS OR THEIR FINANCES." "EVEN WITH POLICE?"

"YEAH, AND GOOD LUCK GETTING OUR PARKING VALIDATED NOW." "YOU CAN'T GO BACK THERE!" "OH, MY GOD!" "STOP." "YOU CAN'T DO THIS." "YOU TWO ARE TRESPASSING." "IF YOU BREACH THAT DOOR, ETERNAL MEADOWS" "WILL DEMAND JUSTICE FOR THE WOMAN" "THAT YOU ARE ROBBING OF IMMORTALITY!" "I THINK HER MURDERER HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT, TOO." "BOY, SHE'S NOT KIDDING." "IT IS COLD IN HERE." "SORRY." "THIS WOMAN'S HEAD IS LIKE A GLACIER." "I HAVE TO THAW HER OUT CAREFULLY," "OR I'LL RUIN ANY CHANCE I HAVE AT A DECENT TISSUE SAMPLE."

"WHY DID YOU UNPLUG MARCELLA BREWSTER'S HEAD?" "NOW WE'RE BEING SUED BY THIS ETERNAL MEADOWS PLACE." "MARCELLA BREWSTER IS LEGALLY DECEASED," "AND I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO EXAMINE HER HEAD." "BUT ETERNAL MEADOWS SAYS" "NOW THAT MS. BREWSTER'S BEEN THAWED OUT," "SHE CAN NEVER BE REFROZEN." "IT'S THE SAME WITH CHICKEN OR FISH." "YOU'VE BROKEN HER PERPETUAL TRUST." "THE TERMS OF HER ENTIRE WILL HAVE JUST GONE OUT THE WINDOW," "INCLUDING ALL THE MONEY SHE LEFT TO THE POLICE MEMORIAL FUND." "YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS?" "OH, MY GOD." "WHAT IF THAT WAS THE PLAN ALL ALONG?" "YOU MEAN WE WERE PLAYED TO PULL MARCELLA'S HEAD OUT OF THE FREEZER?" "AND DESTROY THE TERMS OF HER WILL." "TRACY HAS BEEN WORKING" "FOR MARCELLA'S RELATIVES THIS WHOLE TIME." "HE POISONED THAT LITTLE DOG ON PURPOSE." "ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?" "IT'S THESE JOB APPLICATIONS."

"WHAT GOOD IS EXPERIENCE LIKE THAT?" "RUSTY, LISTEN TO ME." "LOTS OF STORES HIRE QUICK-EYED KIDS LIKE YOU" "TO HELP CATCH SHOPLIFTERS, HUH?" "THAT GIVES YOU A JOB AND A SKILL." "I CAN'T BE A SNITCH FOR A LIVING." "WELL, OF COURSE YOU CAN." "SNITCHING ON PEOPLE IS HOW I STARTED MY CAREER." "AND LOOK AT ME NOW."
