"Well, maybe somebody close to Sadie blames "Suicide Boy" for her death." "No record of any "Sadie" committing suicide in Boston in the last two years." "Maybe Slater made her up for dramatic effect." "Yeah, like that guy on "Oprah" that wrote that fake memoir." " "Oprah"?" " What, I can't have a sensitive side?" "Maybe Slater changed Sadie's name so he wouldn't get sued." "Oh, he did." ""Names have been changed to protect the not-so-innocent.""

"Now, I don't know what they're saying they found, and I get why Sudbury academy thinks it's me," "But I didn't do this!" "Both of Quentin's upper eyelids droop slightly, his eyes lose focus, the corners of his lips pull down." "Okay, so, what does that mean?" "Quentin's micro-expressions indicate that he was under great duress." "He was about to be charged with murder." "It's not fear projected on his face." "That's anguish." "Grief." "There's something you're not telling me, Quentin." "You got to believe me, detective, okay?" "I didn't do this." "Then give me something I can work with, Quentin." "Me and Katrina were together."

"She's attempting to convey anger and disgust, but her raised, drawn-together eyebrows indicate that she's masking deep fear." "Quentin begged me to talk to Ann." "She was probably terrified by the time the state police got to her." "Well, it wasn't your case, Frost." "It still isn't." "What do I do, Dr. Isles?" "Pursue the truth." "Ann has more to say." "I'm sorry about your sister's suicide." "It wasn't a suicide." "Tamara was murdered." "Korsak:" "The police report says she slit her wrists." "Are you saying she didn't do that?"

"He left yesterday for London to speak at a conference." "Never got on the plane." "Frost, see if you can track down Dr. Breyer via his phone's GPS." "On it." "His assistant, Chad, was the last person to see him." "He thought Dr. Breyer took the "t" to Logan." "I have Dr. Breyer's final GPS coordinates on his phone." " When were they transmitted?" " Yesterday afternoon." "Dr. Breyer never left Boston." "Signal's coming from a construction site by a medical center ..." "right here." "Looks like we're getting closer." "Somewhere around here." "Dr. Breyer was getting a brand-new wing for his private rehab hospital." "I don't think Dr. Breyer is gonna get to enjoy it, though." "Well, he either jumped or was pushed." "I think it's a piece of a document." "Looks like he might have been holding it." "Well, if he jumped, what's he doing holding a piece of paper?" "Do you know which occupation has the highest suicide rate?" "Homicide detectives while they wait for autopsy results?" "No." "Physicians." "Our suicide rate is nearly double the national average." "It's even higher than dentists." "Maura, is this some kind of cry for help?" "Yes, if you meditate with me, you will greatly improve the quality of my life." "Were you one of those girls that needed another girl to go with them to the bathroom when you were in 7th grade?" "Of course not." "Well, then I'm sure that you can quiet the monkey-mind chatter all by yourself ..." "I know you can." "In every suicide that I have ever worked, the jumper took his glasses off first." " I think Dr. Breyer was pushed." " Hmm." "I may have found some trace evidence to support your theory." "Sharing is caring." "There's a sticky substance on Dr. Breyer's right hand." "It could be the same substance that you found on Ethan Slater's neck." "Have you gotten those results back yet?" " Trace is still working on it." " It must be from the killer's gloves." "Maybe Breyer shook hands with the killer." "Call me when you find something, okay?" "All right." "That little scrap of paper we found near Breyer's hand was from the corner of a personal check." " Any idea what bank issued it?" " Not yet." "Susie's working on it." "I'm gonna guess that somebody lured Dr. Breyer up to his new wing with the promise of a big payoff." "Huh." "Well, Slater's murder was staged to look like a suicide." " Then the killer steals his manuscript." " Then kills Dr. Breyer?" "Why?" "Well, Breyer treated Slater in rehab." "Maybe Dr. Breyer knew what Ethan Slater was writing about." "So the good doctor blackmails the killer by offering to keep quiet for a price?" "Oh, I sent Frankie to Breyer's center to get the records." "Frankie:" "I found seven patients who were hospitalized" " at the same time as Slater." " Nice, Frankie." " Okay, uh, rock-star drug addict." " Died last year of a drug overdose." " Suicidal brahmin shipping heiress." " Back in treatment." "The other five are living healthy lives in other parts of the country." "You know, I bet if we find Slater's manuscript, we'll find his killer." "Frost, what's wrong?" "I went over the prep-school murder case files again." "Thought I might discover something after questioning Ann." "No one but Quentin enters or exits Katrina's dorm room." "Maybe Ann was right." "Maybe Quentin did kill her." "Why don't you take a couple hours, Frost." " Drive out to Amherst." " Yeah." "Take a look at the crime scene." "See if the state police overlooked anything." "Nah."

"Oh, I wish he had told me." "I have never heard him talk about it." "Susie:" "Hi." "We're still working on the piece of paper." "Latent prints went over the typewriter," " but it's just the victim's prints." " Thanks, Susie." "Wow." "A typewriter." "Makes me feel old." "No, don't feel old." "A very young victim liked writing books on one." " It's an old Underwood." " I used to have one."

"That's good news." "Yes, it's the most wonderful news I've ever heard." "Why do we care?" "Well, some older typewriters use fabric ribbon, and those don't retain a retrievable, legible text." "But with a carbon ribbon, each keystroke makes a mark." "We write down the characters, then figure out where the breaks go between the words." "It'll take awhile." "Susie:" "The trace results on the sticky substance from both the victims is back, Dr. Isles." "Thank you, Susie." " What is it?" " Balsam fir sap." "The same sap that was on Ethan Slater's body and Dr. Breyer's body?" "All right, well, don't look so surprised." "We're looking for one killer." "Yeah, but fragments of Solidago Macrophylla." "What?" "What is it?" "[ beeping ]" "These are the M.E. files that Frost asked me to look at." " The prep-school murder?" " Yes, and they have the same balsam fir and fragments of Solidago Macrophylla." "Yeah, it was found in Katrina's closet." "Yeah, but it wasn't considered significant because Katrina was a rock climber." "It still isn't." "Balsam fir trees are common all over the northeast." "But Solidago Macrophylla isn't." "It's unique to the summit of Mount Greylock in the Berkshires." "So whoever killed Katrina, Ethan Slater, and Dr. Breyer would have to be a skilled climber to get to the top of Mount Greylock." "I'm glad I took your advice and drove out to Amherst." "Okay, if that grappling hook is for the wellness program, you can count me out." "I am not a fan of heights." "Aww, I thought we'd take Korsak and climb Everest." "Okay, maybe Everest." "[ chuckles ]" "I want to show you something I found when I was looking around Katrina's old dorm room." " Okay." " This is the building's exterior." "You see those marks?" "Yeah." "You think those are from a grappling hook?" "Yeah, I do." "I think that's why no one saw him and why Quentin was the only one on the hallway security tape." "So Katrina's killer climbed the wall and went in through her window." "Now, check this out." "Oh, that's the guy who stopped you in the lobby with his father." " Bradley Palmer, right?" " Yeah, he was Katrina's boyfriend." "They used to lead climbs together in the White Mountain national forest." " You see that?" " Alpine butterfly bend." "That's the same knot used to hang Slater." "I sent Frankie to Slater's building." "He took some photos of the building's exterior." "Grappling marks." "He got into Slater's apartment the same way." "But here's what doesn't make any sense ... what is his connection to Slater and Slater's rehab doctor?" "Dr. Breyer?" "I have no idea." "[ cellphone vibrates ]" "It's Maura." "She says we need to get down to the crime lab." "What's up?" "Slater was a terrible typist with bad grammar." "Look at this ... he uses "who" instead of "whom,"" " "which" instead of "that."" " Well, no wonder somebody killed him." "[ laughs ] Here's what's odd ..." "Ethan Slater started typing the last page of his manuscript three months ago." "So what was he typing for the last three months?" "All kinds of things ..." "letters, poems, essays." "But not one word of this manuscript until right before he was killed." "Well, do you have that last page?" "We certainly do, thanks to Sergeant Korsak." " No, no, thanks to you, Dr. Isles." " Oh, please, Sergeant." "I couldn't have done it without your help." "Okay, we'll throw you both a parade later." "What does it say?" ""He told me after a group session while he ate a turkey sandwich that he'd beaten Katrina to death because she cheated on him."" "Slater's talking about Bradley Palmer," " Katrina's boyfriend." " Maura:" "Yes, he was." "And this was the last sentence that he typed." ""Bradley Palmer showed up the same day I did at Breyer mental health center, but I'd take my suicide attempt over what he did." "He killed his girlfriend."" "Damn." "And Slater and Dr. Breyer to keep them quiet." "But why now?" "Unless..." "Frost, did Quentin have any legal proceedings three months ago?" "Yeah." "His final appeal hearing, but it was postponed." "Till yesterday." "That's why now." "Slater must have hoped Quentin would get a new trial." "And when he didn't, Slater made sure that book was ready to go if Bradley didn't come clean." "Eric Palmer gave me this check." "What do you think?" "It appears to be the same stock and design." "Nice." "Detective Frost, oh, nice to see you." "Bradley:" "Would you and your friends like to try our wall?" "We had it set up for our employees to build team skills." "Ethan Slater told you that if you didn't tell the truth, he would tell it for you in his second book." " What's this about?" " Oh, I think you know, Mr. Palmer." "That's why you hid your son at a fancy rehab center" " after he killed his girlfriend." " That's ridiculous." "Is it?" "Is it also ridiculous that your son climbed up the side of his girlfriend's dorm, hid in her closet, and beat her to death after he caught her with Quentin?" " Y-you can't prove anything." " Bradley!" " Quentin Morris was convicted." " I think I'm just gonna call our lawyers." "Do you pay your lawyers with a personal check?" "Eric Palmer, you're under arrest for accessory-after-the-fact in the murder of Katrina." "Bradley:" "Dad, dad, you got to do something." "Bradley Palmer, you're under arrest for the murders of Ethan Slater, Dr. George Breyer, and Katrina Livingston." "Look at that." "Quentin Morris' mother." "It's amazing." "Her son was going to a prison for a murder he didn't commit." "Now he's coming home." "How long until Quentin gets released?" "He should be home by the end of the week." "Bet your blood pressure's a lot lower now, huh?" "I always thought the greatest feeling in the world was putting away bad guys." " It's not?" " No." "The greatest feeling in the world is freeing an innocent man." "Nicely done, Frost." "All in all, a fine day for the good guys." "Clearing three murders ..." "that's a whole lot of wellness, right?" "[ chuckles ]" "I wonder what happened to the manuscript." "I'm guessing it went to a shredder at Palmer industries." "I don't think anybody ordered a red wine." "[ clears throat ] Actually, I did." "What?" "Well, it's like Maura's always saying ... the resveratrol in red wine is excellent for cardiac health." " You actually listen to me?" " Most of the time, yeah." "Well, this deserves a toast." "Salud!" "All:" "Salud!"
