Body of Proof (2011–2013): Season 2, Episode 11 - Falling for You - full transcript

We'll catch up later.

Hey. Thank you for coming.

Melissa's so excited.
- Yes, she is.

Honey, this is beautiful.

Yeah, it is.

- Oh, my...
- Oh, my.

Oh, my God.

Mom, am I fat?

No, you are not fat.

I think I need a nose job.

Excuse me?



See the tip? They
can fix that, you know.

Chloe Kane had hers done.

At 13? A nose job?
Yeah, it'll look great.

Lacey, you're still growing.

Besides, you are
perfect the way you are.

Just give it some time.

That's what every parent
says. Well, in this case, it's true.

You know what? I feel
all better now, thank you.

Gotta go. That's
Cassie. Bye, Mom.

Megan Hunt.

I'll be right there.

Okay, so tell me
exactly what happened.

I was in my room getting ready
and then I heard the scream.

And then what happened?



I came running.

You're the father of the bride?

Yes.

Where were you when
Melissa fell off the balcony?

We were heading downstairs

to join the rest of
the wedding party.

Afternoon, Peter.
What have we got?

Bride-to-be took a
header off the balcony.

Could be a suicide.

I hate weddings.

Nice dress.

Not a sight I ever
expected to see.

Who is she?

Melissa Waxman,
26, school teacher.

She came down a little before 2.

Looks like multiple
traumatic injuries

consistent with
a high-level fall,

including massive
closed head trauma.

She's got a compound
fracture to her left leg.

Bag the hands.

Sure.

Dani, be careful with her.

Why would such a beautiful girl
kill herself on her wedding day?

Who said anything about suicide?

Think this was staged?

I got a room full of
suspects in that bridal suite.

My money? The groom.

This is why I'm
never getting married.

Hey.

Do you mind?

Yeah, you can have my cake.
I got a whole one in the fridge.

No, you dumb-ass. Can't
you see I'm on a diet?

Could you not eat
that in front of me?

Oh, I'm sorry. You're on a diet?

This must be diff...

Um... Hey, Dani.

That is not gonna end well.

What's up?

A bride just jumped to her
death on her wedding day.

Oh. Wow. Uh...

No, I don't have
a segue for that.

Segue into what?

Would you like to go
out with me Friday night,

to see Prom Zombies 4?

Oh, I'd love to.

Oh, but I have a
date Friday night.

How about a Sunday matinee?

Yeah, that's...
Matinee sounds...

It's a date. I mean,
it's not a date,

it's a matinee.
But, yeah, that...

Sounds good.

The body is that of a 65-inch,

115 pound female,
Melissa Waxman,

who appears to be of the
recorded age of 26 years.

Most of her trauma
is on the left side.

Massive blunt
force trauma injuries,

pine needles, bark
and traces of sap.

Uh...

Excuse me? I'm ju...

Does this always
have to take so long?

Is there something you
just have to know now?

Yeah. Did she fall, did she
jump, or was she pushed?

A little patience,
detective, please.

There is trace under her nails.

Peter, get this
to the lab, please.

Sure.

Neck is hypermobile,

probable multiple
C-spine fractures.

Also, multiple
lacerations and abrasions

with pitch residue
and bark particles.

Fractured her neck
when she hit the canopy.

I could've told you that.

What is wrong with him?

I have no idea.

Dial it down, would you?

Fine, I won't say another word.

Whoa, hello.

Oh.

Wow. Where is the other one?

We didn't find any
jewelry on the scene.

I have Melissa's scans.

Ah. Good.

Skull fracture,
depressed and linear.

Left cervical spine, clavicle,

compound spiral
tib-fib fracture.

Bud, make yourself
useful, hand me a wipe.

Uh, I could use a little help
over here too, you know.

Curtis is on a diet.

He's all cranky and needy.

I'm right here,
doofus. I can hear you.

I didn't...

And, yes, I'm frigging hungry.

Is that what I think it is?

A girl with a black eye
on her wedding day.

Let's go pay the groom a visit.

Stop. It's all your fault.

Calm down. Son of a bitch!

You killed her!

Take it easy,
Leonard. Calm down!

You killed my daughter!

All right, step away,
Mr... Mr. Waxman!

I don't see any other
signs of domestic abuse.

But there is a transverse scar
at anterior aspect of the neck

at the base, possibly
thyroidectomy.

Hypo-pigmented scars and
another transverse scar, hip-to-hip.

Our girl's had a
little work done.

Looks like a tummy
tuck and liposuction.

Liposuction. Why
didn't I think of that?

Not for me. For
a friend of mine.

She also had bilateral
breast augmentation as well.

I have to say this doctor
did remarkable work.

How do you know that?

I'm just saying.

Check out the scar at the
columella-labial junction.

You can hardly see it.

Hmm. She had a nose job too.

Lacey asked for one
of those this morning.

You're kidding. Hmm. I wish.

Why would Leonard
think you killed Melissa?

He's had it out for me. He
never thought I was good enough.

Where were you when
Melissa fell from the balcony?

Like I told your partner, I
was in my room getting ready.

Melissa was a
very traditional girl.

Didn't want me to see
her before the wedding.

When was the last
time you did see her?

Last night, at rehearsal dinner.

You slept in different
rooms? Really?

Like I said, Melissa
was a very traditional girl.

Was it tradition to give
Melissa a black eye?

What black eye?

The one she had to
cover with makeup.

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

How did you get
that cut on your hand?

Ask Leonard.

He killed her. He
killed my baby.

If that bastard hadn't
asked her to marry him,

none of this would
have happened.

You honestly think
your future son-in-law

would have killed your
daughter on their wedding day?

Who else? You tell me.

Can you think of anyone who
would want to hurt Melissa?

Everyone loved Melissa.

Is it possible she
took her own life?

No.

Absolutely not.

Ha-ha. Bowling? Seriously?

I mean, you wouldn't
rather go to a movie?

Why not? I think you'd look
cute in those funny shoes.

Ooh.

So, what's your guess about
why she had her thyroid removed?

Goiter?

Probably thyroiditis or cancer.

Bud had to pull the father
of the bride off the groom.

It looks like they got
into it at the hotel bar.

Pardon me, Fabio.

That substance you
found under Melissa's nails

was a floral anther,
which doesn't surprise me

because there were enough
flowers in that bridal suite

to choke a bumblebee.

In addition to the
small amount of aspirin,

her blood alcohol was .08

and she had significant levels
of alprazolam in her system.

Anti-depressants and alcohol.
That's a deadly combination.

Clearly a nervous bride.

Ethan, have the lab run
thyroid levels on her blood.

First thing in the
morning, call her internist,

find out why she
had a thyroidectomy.

Okay. Hey, what is up with you?

Like you don't know.

You were her maid of honor,
you had to notice something.

I think Melissa was
having second thoughts

about the wedding.

Really? Why? I
don't know exactly,

but she wasn't
acting like herself

at the bachelorette Botox party.

Heh. The what?

Bachelorette party.

Botox, mani-pedis
and a male stripper.

I've never had a
mani-pedi like that.

Melissa was agitated
and drinking heavily.

Same thing yesterday
at the wedding.

She even asked me for a Xanax.

Then why did you leave her
alone before the ceremony?

When we put the veil on her,
it ripped. She came unglued.

She told us all to leave.

So, what do you
think set her off?

She never said specifically,

but I know that her
ex-boyfriend is back in town.

I think he still had
feelings for her.

Lacey, you haven't
touched your food.

I'm not that hungry.

Listen, when I was your
age, Grandma made me feel

like I was fat and I wasn't.

There will be no food
issues in this house.

You're still growing,
you need to eat.

All right, try this. No
eating, no computer.

Mom!

Megan Hunt.

Hey, it's Ethan. I spoke
with Melissa's doctor.

He said the
thyroidectomy was needed

because of
Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

What he prescribed to
keep her hormones in check?

Levothyroxine. Fifty
micrograms a day.

But I ran the hormone
levels you requested.

Here's the strange part.

Her TSH level was sky-high.

That means she wasn't
taking her thyroid medicine.

No wonder she was
depressed at her wedding.

Oh, God.

Maybe she jumped.

Please tell me you're kidding.

Everyone wears
clothes like this.

Cute, right? No, not right.

Realize the message
you're sending

when you dress like that?

Seriously?

Don't be smart.

Well... Well, why don't you
take me to your hairdresser?

You wanna get a haircut?

No. I want highlights.

You're not dyeing your hair.

Why not? You do.

And I am slave to it.

You're not dressing
like a hooker,

you're not dyeing your hair,

and you're not getting a nose
job. What is going on with you?

Maybe Melissa forgot to
take her thyroid medicine

because she was
anxious about the wedding.

And going cold turkey

has side effects of
irritability and depression.

And we're not buying it.

There was no note and
no prior attempts at suicide.

Usually people
who commit suicide

leave some sign
of their intentions.

Plus, we just found out

she had an ex-boyfriend
who has strong feelings for her.

I'm sure he's none too happy
she was marrying someone else.

Yes, people who commit
suicide often signal their intentions,

not always.

And Melissa was intoxicated
and taking anti-depressants.

If you two are so convinced
she committed suicide,

why are you still investigating?

Because I wanna know why.

Why what?

Why she did it.

Did Melissa have a
history of depression?

Why?

We're just trying to understand

her state of mind
the day she died.

Um, Melissa's mother
died when she was 13.

She became depressed
and put on weight.

She was always shy,

so you can imagine what
her teenage years were like.

Did she see a therapist?

Yeah, through high
school and college.

It wasn't until after she
had her thyroid removed

that things got better.

She was at risk for
the same thyroid cancer

that killed her mother,

but after the surgery, she began
to live life, meet new friends.

That's when she met
Zack, her ex-boyfriend.

If she was happy, then
why all the cosmetic surgery?

Well, she had such
strong feelings for Zack,

but she was just never
happy with the way she looked.

I was against the
plastic surgery,

and that's when our relationship
took a turn for the worse.

You know, she said I
didn't understand her,

wanted me to stop telling
her how to live her life.

And our relationship
was strained ever since.

I mean, how would you feel

if your daughter wanted to
change everything about herself?

Do you know the name
of the plastic surgeon?

Yes, Dr. Sarah Hughes.

When could you release
Melissa to us? We'd like to...

Bury her the day after tomorrow.

We're flying back to
Miami after the funeral.

We'll try to expedite
the process for you.

Thank you.

We came out here for a wedding.

Instead I'm gonna be
attending my baby's funeral.

Zack Goffman? Yes.

Detective Bud Morris.

This is my partner,
Detective Baker.

We're investigating the
death of Melissa Waxman.

We understand
that you and Melissa

dated for a couple of years.
Yes, we were very close.

Well, not that close. She was
about to marry someone else.

Why did you break up?

I took a job in L.A.

And the long distance
thing didn't work out.

So I moved back here hoping
to pick up where we left off,

and she was already
engaged to Marc.

Ouch. Not exactly the homecoming
you were expecting, huh?

What do you think?
What do I think?

I think you were pissed.

So pissed you helped
her off that balcony.

That's what I think.

I think I'm done
talking with you.

What is with you?

I'm exhausted.

Jeannie's up all
night, I'm up all night.

Well, stop taking it
out on everybody else.

And lay off the coffee.

You think I'm bitchy now,
wait till I stop drinking coffee.

So how's your diet? Great.

Hungry? Can we
not talk about this?

Sure.

Hey, do you think I'm sexy?

You have got to be kidding
me. Dani's dating Peter.

I mean, what does he have
that I don't have? I don't get it.

Because Peter don't
ask stupid questions like,

"Do you think I'm sexy?"
He's confident. He walks...

I don't wanna talk
about this anymore.

Fine. Well, can we do this?

Yeah, sure.

So do you think she was pushed,
or do you think she jumped?

That's what the dummy
is supposed to tell us.

The trajectory
of her fall. I know.

But considering there's
a chair against the rail,

I'm gonna go with "she jumped."

Okay. So she stood up like this

Ethan, get down. Why?

Because I don't want the
wrong dummy going over.

Oh, Curtis, you care.
That is so swee...

Shut up, you dummy, and
help me with the dummy.

Okay. Come on.

Oh. Ouch.

Put her leg over. Be
careful. She's a lady.

Ready? One, two,
three. One, two, three.

Well, how's that,
Mr. Trajectory?

What does that tell you?

That your skinny ass is
going down there to get her.

Hey, what's that?

Hmm.

Bud has a point, you know.

We seem to be investigating the
cause of someone's depression

instead of their death.

It's kind of a little
outside our purview.

What is your point?

Is this about Melissa
or someone else?

Okay, yes, my father
didn't leave a note.

And, yes, sometimes at
3:00 in the morning, I wake up,

and I wonder why.

What if you find the
answer and you don't like it?

Joke's on me, I guess.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

You're from the medical
examiner's office?

Yes. I am Dr. Megan Hunt,
this is Investigator Dunlop.

Please. We're
looking into the death

of Melissa Waxman.

Oh, God. It was horrible.

You were there?
Yeah, I just arrived.

You were invited to her wedding?

Yeah, she was one
of my favorite clients.

I'll bet.

Could you please explain to me
how you could operate on someone

with such low self-esteem?

You don't know what
you're talking about.

Really? She actually
needed rhinoplasty,

abdominoplasty, liposuction
and breast augmentation?

I don't appreciate
the suggestion

that I talked her into anything.

Look, this is something
Melissa wanted for years.

A body that felt good to her,
her idea of how she should look.

Her idea or your idea?

Dr. Hunt, I don't
make those decisions.

I leave that up to the
magazines and media.

So you don't think
that she was suicidal?

Far from it.

Look, Melissa had a
full psych evaluation

when I met her two
and a half years ago.

And until yesterday,

she was a well-adjusted,
stable young woman

with no evidence of
body dysmorphic disorder.

Okay. Sorry for the
inconvenience, doctor.

You know, we're not all
the snake oil salesmen

people make us out to be.

We actually try to make people
feel good about themselves.

Dr. Hunt, you ever
consider a facelift?

You're at that age.

Ah, heh. Why,
thank you. You first.

One more thing. Who actually
paid for Melissa's surgery?

I know she couldn't afford
it on a teacher's salary.

Her ex-boyfriend, Zack.

Oh!

Out of the way! Thank you.

Seriously, food in the morgue?

Yeah, I know.

So, what are you looking at?

These are Melissa's scans.

See this opacity right here?
- Yeah.

First I thought it was just
debris on the film, but now...

Let's go take a
look at that leg.

Ethan, hand me the
small forceps, please.

What did you find?

Looks like a metallic
paint chip of some kind.

From the compound
fracture? Yeah.

Hold on. We found paint chipping

on the railing of
the bridal suite.

I should have a
photograph of that.

Of course you do, Mr. Perfect.

Wait, Melissa's leg
fracture was antemortem.

So she didn't break it
from landing on the canopy,

she broke it because it
got caught on the railing.

That means Melissa didn't jump.

She was pushed.

I read all your e-mails, Zack.

You've been trying to get
back together with Melissa

for months.

That must have
really burned you up,

paying for all those
plastic surgeries,

and then she dumps you.

She didn't dump me, we broke up.

Either way, you certainly
didn't want her marrying Marc.

Of course Marc wasn't good
enough for her. How could he be?

He didn't love
her the way I did.

He didn't know
her the way I did.

He wasn't with her through
all her surgery, I was.

But I loved her the way
she was before her surgery.

Why did you let her
do that to herself?

Because it's what
she wanted. I just...

I wanted to make her happy.

I think I've got everything I
need. Thanks for coming by.

Cancel all your
travel plans, though.

Let me ask you something.

How could I have killed Melissa

if I wasn't even
invited to the wedding?

Since when do you need an
invitation to commit murder?

Two cheese steaks
with the works.

Hey, listen, I know that
we're supposed to be

going bowling on Friday night,

but a buddy of mine has tickets
on the glass to the Flyers game.

You don't mind, right? Oh.

What, you're upset?

Well, yeah, I just thought...

You know what? Never
mind. You should go.

Are you sure? Absolutely.

Here are all the photos
from the day of the wedding.

I'd like them back as soon
as you're finished, please.

They must be very
difficult for you to look at.

They're all I have left of her.

At least I finally
got to see her

in her wedding dress, though.

She looked so beautiful.

What do you know
about Zack Goffman?

Zack was definitely a
sore spot in our relationship.

Melissa was friends with him,
so I tried to be understanding.

But he would not
take no for an answer.

How so?

He would send e-mails, flowers,

he even waited for
Melissa in front of her work.

Then about a month ago, he
confronted me outside my house.

And that's when Melissa
finally had had enough.

She cut off all
contact with him.

Bud, congratulations.

It was not a suicide.

Okay, you were right. Jeez.

Oh, look at Melissa.

She certainly didn't look
depressed on her wedding.

Mm-mm. I remember
my wedding day.

Knew it was a mistake the
minute I walked down the aisle.

Then why did you
go through with it?

My mother would have killed me.

Jeannie and I eloped.

Niagara Falls,
carnation bouquet,

Baked Alaska, boxed wine...

Okay, so hold on. Why am I
just hearing about this now?

It's not like it's a secret. We
just didn't have the money.

Can you imagine what a
wedding like Melissa's costs?

Well, speaking of that,

who actually paid for
Melissa's wedding?

Well, father of the
bride, traditionally.

It's worth looking into, though.

Leonard was
estranged from Melissa,

didn't approve of the wedding.

It'd be salt in the
wound to foot the bill.

So he killed her because
the bill was too high?

Okay, so far we can't place
anyone in that bridal suite

before the ceremony
except for Melissa.

What about the bridesmaids?

The bridesmaids
all left the suite

at 1:30 to go down
to the wedding.

We checked with hotel security,

and no one entered the
suite after 1 p.m. without a key.

Maybe Melissa let them in.

So in a hotel full of
family and friends,

it doesn't exactly
narrow it down.

Why is it taking so long

to get the elevator surveillance
video from the hotel?

Hotel lawyered up. They're
worried about liability.

I'll lean on them.

Sam, did you say that everyone

got Botox at that
bachelorette party?

Mm-hm.

Care to explain why
you gave Melissa aspirin

right after she had Botox?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

You're a nurse.

You know that aspirin
inhibits coagulation.

And then when you combine
aspirin with Botox injections,

you get a black eye.

You gave Melissa aspirin
right before her ceremony,

and you gave Melissa aspirin
at her Botox bachelorette party.

And I thought you and
Melissa were friends.

We were. Were?

Why did you wanna
ruin her wedding day?

Maybe it didn't end there.

Maybe...

you pushed Melissa
off that balcony.

No, I would never do that.

Sure, I was jealous of her,
but I would never kill her.

You just couldn't stand that you
weren't the queen bee anymore.

Don't get me wrong. You're
doing the best with what you have,

but boy, she changed her looks

and, wow, you just
couldn't measure up.

I met Marc first, okay?

I was at the bar
waiting for Melissa,

he walks up and
starts talking to me.

Then Melissa shows up and
it's like I don't exist anymore.

All Marc was
interested in was her.

I never wanted to hurt Melissa.

I was just paying her back
for stealing Marc from me.

I don't think
Melissa stole Marc.

I think that Marc chose Melissa.

You couldn't handle it.

Move over and zoom in.
- Please let me do it.

Ethan, I got this. Would
you just let me do it?

Ethan! What are you two up to?

We found a hair
on Melissa's earring.

It didn't match her hair color,
so we're sending it to the lab.

Let Ethan handle it from here.

I want you to finish
the Goldberg report.

You're spreading yourself too
thin. You can't do everything.

Let me see those results
as soon as you get them.

No, because Kate just told
you to let me handle it, so...

Ethan, you don't
wanna mess with me.

I know that's just
the hunger talking.

Lace? LACEY: Hi, Mom.

What the hell did you do?

I had my hair colored.

By whom? Lady Gaga?

By Alice, with
over-the-counter stuff.

Fine, then we can get it out.

What? You heard me.

I said you could
not color your hair.

I'm not changing it,
and you can't make me!

Megan Hunt.

I'm at the hotel.
I finally got them

to let me watch the
elevator surveillance video.

Guess what. Zack lied.

He was here at the wedding.
That son of a bitch killed her.

You lied to me, Zack.
You were at that wedding.

I lied because I thought
you'd never believe me.

Oh, you got that right,
sunshine. Now, sit down.

I said, take a seat!

I went there...

I went there to stop Melissa

from making the
biggest mistake of her life.

Marc didn't love her.
He barely knew her.

He fell in love with her
because of how she looked,

not for who she was.
How would you know?

Because love
takes time, detective.

It takes commitment,
patience, sacrifice.

Melissa was my soul mate.

I went to see her

to talk her out of marrying
Marc one last time.

And she said no one last time.

I did not kill Melissa!

We have you on the elevator
surveillance tapes going up,

but not going down.

What, take the back stairs?

Why would you try to sneak
away unnoticed like that?

Because I saw Melissa's
father getting off the elevator.

You saw Leonard heading
towards the bridal suite after you left?

Yes.

And I took the stairs because
I didn't want him to see me.

Leonard hated me

because I paid for
Melissa's cosmetic surgeries.

The last time I saw him,
he threatened to kill me.

Is that my Goldberg report?

Not yet. I'm waiting on the DNA
results from the hair we found.

I told you specifically
to let Ethan handle that.

I know, but I got
a hunch abou...

What are you trying to prove?

Trying to prove? I'm
trying to do a good job.

I've had six calls today
about that case, all right?

You're trying to do
everything at once

and not finishing anything.
Just file that report.

Please don't tell anybody.

I'm not gonna tell anybody.

I mean, it's your diet,
you can quit if you want to.

I know.

Can I sit down?

In med school, I
had this teacher,

this amazing
teacher, Dr. Giorgi,

and she had this sign
above her door that said:

"It's not what you eat,
it's what's eating you."

So, what's eating you?

Nothing.

Come on, Curtis.

I'm your friend. I know
something's bothering you.

What is it?

Sometime...

Sometimes I feel like
I'm not good enough.

Brother, I have been
feeling the same way lately.

Have a seat.

How could you people?

My daughter's
funeral is in two hours.

Mr. Waxman, you didn't tell us

that you were in
Melissa's bridal suite

prior to the wedding.

I went to see Melissa to ask
her to call off the wedding.

Only I went too far.

Go on.

I thought she
was rushing into it

specifically because
I didn't want her to.

And I told her Marc
couldn't love her

after knowing her
for such a short time.

And?

I thought she killed herself
because of what I said.

I didn't tell you
because I felt guilty.

Oh, you're guilty of something.

I didn't kill my own
daughter, detective.

Can we talk about a clause
in your deceased wife's will?

We did a little checking
into your financials.

Apparently, your
late wife, Anna,

left you and your daughter
quite a bit of money.

Now, Melissa would have
received hers upon marriage,

unless she didn't marry,

or you survived her,
and then you get it all.

Money is a very powerful
motive, Mr. Waxman.

I didn't kill Melissa.

What time did you leave
the bridal suite that day?

It was around quarter to 2,
when she was still very much alive.

Yeah, I'm not answering
another question.

So if you're not
gonna arrest me,

I'm gonna go bury my daughter.

Hey, Dani? Yeah?

Uh...

What's wrong with me?

What?

What's wrong with me?

I mean, I'm smart,
I'm a fashion beast.

I'm funny, sometimes.

Sure, you are. So, what is it?

Is it my loud socks? My
big head? I'm too lanky?

Because I'm thinking
about working out.

Ethan, what are
you talking about?

Why did you pick Peter?

Oh, Ethan.

There's nothing wrong
with you. Not a thing.

And if I led you on in
any way, I am truly sorry.

Are we still on for Sunday?

I don't think so. Sorry.

What you got?

Do you mind?

Curtis.

I thought I told
you to finish...

They're a match.

The hair from the earring
and Leonard's epithelials.

Let me see that.

I wonder how Leonard's
going to explain

his hair being on that earring.

Father kills his own
daughter on her wedding day.

Yeah, I didn't see
that coming. Nice work.

Ethan, call Bud and Sam,

tell them we got to stop
Leonard before he flies to Miami.

Wait, where is he?

At his daughter's funeral.

Excuse me, detectives,
this is a private service.

We're just here to
pay our respects.

And to tie up some loose
ends with your husband.

Oh, I think we've cooperated
enough. Now please leave.

We can do this at the station.

Look, it's been a
very difficult week.

I'm sure you can understand.
Can this please wait?

No, it can't.

That is a beautiful
flower. What is it?

Lily of the valley, it
was Melissa's favorite.

Oh. MORRIS: Dr. Hunt?

You said that you were

in the room... Bud,

let me do the talking.

You haven't had the
lightest touch lately.

Yeah, I'm beginning
to sound like you.

Mr. Waxman. Yes?

We're very sorry for your loss

and any pain that we
may have caused you.

From what I've learned,
Melissa was a wonderful girl.

And I think I speak
for both of us in saying

that we will do everything
we can to find out who did this.

Thank you.

Good.

The one on the left

is the anther we found
under Melissa's fingernail.

The one on the right is
from a lily of the valley.

They're a match.

How's the diet going?

Day-to-day.

Try parenting. Hmm.

Hey, you wanna tell
us what's going on?

After I saw the lily of the
valley boutonniere on Marc,

I went back to
the trace evidence

that we found
from Melissa's nails,

which we had thought came
from her handling her bouquet.

However, this is an anther
from the lily of the valley flower

and Marc is the only one in
the wedding wearing that flower.

That proves Marc was with
Melissa in the bridal suite

before she died. Yes.

Marc was wearing a
boutonniere in those photos,

but he was not wearing one

the day I questioned
him at the scene.

You think the boutonniere's
in here, don't you?

Macadangdang.

I found it.

What is it?

What did you find?

Blood.

Both Zack and
Leonard went to Melissa

to try to convince
her not to marry you,

and they succeeded.

She called your room, the
hotel operator confirms it.

Your room's down the hall,
that's why you didn't show up

in the elevator's
surveillance video.

Melissa tried to do
the honorable thing,

and you just couldn't
handle it, could you?

All those people.
So you lost it,

and you shoved
her off the balcony.

That's not true.

We found a floral anther
from your boutonniere

under Melissa's nail.

Lily of the valley? Same
one you're wearing now?

I think that after
you pushed Melissa,

she tried to stop her
fall by holding onto you.

And all she got was
your stupid boutonniere.

We found her blood
on the tip of the pin.

It was an accident.

I never meant
to kill her. She...

Yes, she tried to
call off the wedding.

And I honestly didn't
know what to say.

It was only when she tried
to hug me that I pushed her.

Not to hurt her,

just to get away from her.

I was so angry, the last thing
I wanted was to be hugged.

After she went over, I panicked.

I put the chair
against the railing

to make it look
like she had jumped

and I went downstairs

and blended in with
the wedding party.

It was supposed to be
the happiest day of my life.

Ethan.

Yeah?

You wanna tell me
what's going on?

Really? Yeah.

I'm just wondering why out
of all the girls you could date,

you had to pick the
one girl that I like.

Wait a second, you like Dani?

Yes, I really like Dani.

You wouldn't notice that

because you're out
chasing half the tail in Philly.

Come on, you're
being ridiculous.

Am I?

Just do me a favor.

Don't break her heart like
you do all the others, okay?

Hey.

I think I've seen enough
balconies for one week.

I promise I won't jump.

You know, earlier
I got the feeling

that you wanted to
tell me something,

but you wouldn't,
or couldn't, or...

Or shouldn't.

Why is that?

Because it goes against
everything we agreed upon.

I thought you were the girl
who didn't wanna be tied down?

Tsk. I don't know
what I was thinking.

I do.

Lace?

Can I come in?

I'm sorry.

Maybe you think that
I've been too hard on you

and not giving you the
freedom that you want.

I understand that.

But something's
going on with you,

and I can't help you if
you don't tell me what it is.

Why do you wanna
change the way you look?

What's really going on?

I wasn't invited to
Tommy Wirth's party.

That's it?

That's it? Mom,
don't you understand?

I'm not one of the cool kids.

Oh, plea... They don't
even know what cool is.

Lacey.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because cool isn't crying
to your mom about it.

Oh, honey.

Hey, I wasn't cool, either.

Look at me now.

Baby, you're you.

Why would you wanna
be anybody but you?

I find you endlessly
fascinating.

Ha-ha. I do, even though
you really look like a zebra.

I don't even like this color.

You have to take me
to your hairdresser.

Oh, I think you got that right.
