Body of Proof (2011–2013): Season 2, Episode 5 - Point of Origin - full transcript

911, what is your emergency?

Hi, my name is Peter Dunlop.

There's a house fire

on the corner of Linden
and Second Street.

I don't know if anyone's inside.

Damn it.

Hello?

Hello?

Are you okay? Dad?

We gotta get you out of here.

My turtle.



Leave it. WOMAN: No.

Copy 17. I want you to
be at Division One engine...

All right...

Go ahead, roll
that in the truck.

How's Peter doing?

Still at the hospital.
Bruised shoulder.

They're getting
X-rays just to be sure.

How about the girl?

Critical condition. But
alive, thanks to Peter.

Well, her husband
wasn't so lucky.

Mike Applebee.

Unis were here just last week
on a domestic disturbance call.

The wife, Jenna, called it in.

Looks like things got
worse for the both of them.



We know what started the fire?

Ask the arson investigators.

They're inside.

Fantastic.

Roger that.

All right, well, let's
get behind that fridge.

See who or what
started this thing.

Hey, who the hell
let you in here?

Megan Hunt, ME.
Where's the body?

Uh, well, we kept
tripping over it

so I had Skip here
put it in the truck.

I'm Ray Easton. My
partner, Skip Rakoski.

I hope you're
funnier than he is.

I know I am.

Yeah. We'll see who's laughing

at your next performance review.

Hmm. The body's over here.

We haven't touched it.

So the fire started
here in the kitchen.

Scorch marks form
a V, like an arrow.

Yeah, point of origin. I know.

We also found evidence
of a forced entry.

My partner said he kicked
the door down to get inside.

Oh, so he gave the fire
all the oxygen it needed

to consume the living room.

He saved a woman's life.

If he had waited for PFD,

we might have been
able to save two lives.

Or you might have
lost them both.

There's soot in the nostrils.

He was alive while
the fire was burning.

Yeah, you see his pelvis?

I think someone poured
accelerant on him.

How about you investigate the
fire and leave the body to me?

I'll send my people
in to get him.

Yeah, I don't think so.

Excuse me? We haven't finished

our initial assessment.

Nothing leaves the
scene until we're done.

How long are you gonna be?

As long as it takes.

I'll get coffee.

Hey, if you don't mind,

I take mine cream. No sugar.

Three hours.

That is how much time
I lost to Ray Easton.

Uh, I worked with Ray's
dad in the Badlands.

His whole family is true blue.

Shocking his son
went fire department.

Ah, Ray the black sheep?

I can't even imagine.

Somebody get under
your skin a little?

Looks like Mike has
third-degree burns

over most of his body

with fourth degree at
the pelvis and right thigh.

Ray said he was doused
with an accelerant.

That would make this homicide.

You can tell Ray he's wrong.

Mike was a smoker.

This flint wheel is all
that's left of his lighter.

It was lighter
fluid that ignited.

You don't want the pleasure
of telling him yourself?

Detective.

Curtis tells me you
have a bone fracture.

Of the distal metacarpals,
first and second finger.

Are you asking me or telling me?

You're the bone specialist.

I just need to know whether
it occurred during the crime.

There's a slight
haze on the X-ray.

It's possible the fracture
happened before the fire,

but I'll run a rapid
touch prep to make sure.

Nothing could make me happier.

Am I missing something?

Kate has a new boyfriend. Oh.

My ex-husband. Uh-oh.

Ballistics hasn't called
back yet. I'll give them a call.

I'll call you once
we get a positive ID.

Hold up. I got Mike
Applebee's dental records.

Uh, and I just got off
the phone with Peter.

How is he?

This guy goes into
a burning house,

the ceiling collapses on him,

and all he gets is
a bruised shoulder.

I mean, it's like he's
made of Adamantium.

Like Wolverine.

From the X-Men.

You gotta go to the
movies. Uh, he's coming.

Tell him to go
back to the hospital.

He needs to bring
me Jenna's clothes.

If she or Mike
were incapacitated,

there will be trace
on the clothing.

Ah. But I know what
incapacitated them.

Jenna's tox screen shows
cyanide in her system.

Cyanide. Hmm, this
is starting to sound

like more than just a domestic
disturbance gone wrong.

Except that when a house
burns, it releases toxins in the air.

The most dangerous of
which is hydrogen cyanide.

Wait. So Jenna was
poisoned by her own house?

We just need to find out
what made the house burn.

You think you could nudge
your friend Ray along?

Oh, yeah. I'm walking
right into the middle of that.

Hmm.

Ethan, are you sure these are
Mike Applebee's dental records?

Yeah. Why? Mike Applebee

had all of his wisdom
teeth removed.

That guy in there,
he still has his.

This is not Mike Applebee.

Thanks. I'll let her know.

That was Sam.

No match on John
Doe's prints in IAFIS

and no sign of the real
Mike Applebee either.

Does that look like
a fracture to you?

Tough to say.

It's right on the suture line.

He broke his hand
fighting off his attacker

and then got hit on the head?

There's only one
way to find out.

You know,
relationships are hard.

Especially when it
involves three people

and two of them have history.

And suddenly we're not talking
about the Applebees anymore.

What is on your mind, Curtis?

I want you to know that
99.9 percent of the time,

when it comes to you,
I'm gonna side with Kate.

But on her decision to date
your ex, I think she's wrong.

Like Michael Jordan playing
baseball kind of wrong.

Wow, we actually
agree on something.

Point one percent of the time.

So keep that in
mind when I say this,

as Deputy Chief
Medical Examiner,

you two need to work it out.

I am being professional.

Mm-hm.

John Doe's cause of death, um,
was carbon monoxide poisoning.

Uh, his levels were 56 percent.

He didn't stand a chance.

See if you can salvage
anything out of that wallet,

help identify him.

Thank you.

Hey.

Skip Rakoski.
Arson Investigation.

Oh, Peter Dunlop. ME's office.

Ah, so you're the
superhero, huh?

You look good for a guy
who ran into a burning house.

My shoulder is pretty banged up.

How's Jenna doing?
Well, they're still treating her

for carbon monoxide
and cyanide toxicity.

At least she's doing
better than the John Doe

we pulled out of the house.

Wha...?

I never saw him. Hey,
don't beat yourself up.

You did more than
most people would have.

Are those Jenna's clothes?

Uh. Yeah. Dr. Hunt
wanted them for evidence.

My boss sent me for them too.

Guess I'm too late.

Great minds, huh?

I have to get to the office.

I'll let you know if we hear
anything about the clothes.

Hey, take it easy on
that shoulder, huh?

Trust me, It's been
through worse.

Can you please let me go?

I need to see Jenna.

Sorry, Mike. We're not in
the habit of reuniting victims

with their attackers.

I would never hurt
Jenna. I love her.

Then why the domestic
disturbance call?

Last few months have been hard.

I lost my job.

Jenna is a manager
at the Donut Spot

at the Bourse, double shifts.

She started pulling away.

She'd never come home.

So I call her on it,
she kicks me out.

So you went over
there last night

to talk some sense into her,

found her with another man.

Didn't happen. Then
where were you last night?

Same place you found me.

Alone in my motel room.

Reading.

Reading.

Uh-huh.

What's a guy like you
have on his nightstand?

The Girl Who Played with Fire.

The cerebral
convolutions have flattened

and the tissue is markedly firm.

We could be looking
at heat fissure.

If temps got high enough,

the expansion pressure
could've caused

the break in the temporal bone.

I don't think so.

Look at that.

Hemorrhaging.

Someone hit John Doe over
the head while he was alive.

For all we know,
the murder weapon

can still be at the scene.

Hey, hey, hey. Hey.

You are aware this is
an active fire scene, right?

Active?

You've been here ten hours.
You haven't even left the kitchen.

Well, collecting fire evidence

is a little like being
on a first date.

Move too fast, you're liable
to get slapped in the face.

Ha, ha. Well, you're
in no danger of that.

Ray just wants it done
right so he can fire Geraldine.

Who is Geraldine?
Show her the picture, Ray.

You're gonna love this.

Meet Geraldine.

My cannon.

Heh. Don't know, but
when I close a case,

I like to light her
up to celebrate.

She's smaller than a breadbox,

but she packs
one hell of a wallop.

Well, some people
think size doesn't matter.

Skip, will you show the doctor
what we've figured out, please?

The point of origin
is this old refrigerator.

They kept alcohol on top. We
found this broken vodka bottle.

Dust and debris collect
behind the refrigerator,

and add alcohol to the mix...

And then just a little spark
from an old compressor,

and bam, you
got yourself a fire.

This wasn't an accident.

Really?

Well, what do you
think happened?

Our John Doe was hit
over the head premortem.

That was intentional.

I'm guessing that the
fire was intentional too.

Did you find a
murder weapon yet?

Not just yet. But we haven't
made it into the living room.

Hmm.

Well, I'm no ME, but
this looks like heat fissure.

You have seen heat
fissure, haven't you?

Oh, you're right.

You're no ME.

Look, I've got six open cases,

including a serial arsonist
who's been targeting toy stores.

So how about you cut
me a little slack, okay?

I came here looking
for a murder weapon

which may or may
not be in this house.

The sooner you
get out of my way,

the sooner you can
fire your little cannon off.

Hey. Look who I found
applying for a job at Engine 16.

Hey.

Whoa. Oh. Oh.

How's the
shoulder? I'll survive.

These are for you.
Jenna's clothes.

Still unconscious. Great.

I will get Curtis to
process them for trace.

Maybe we'll find a
connection to Mike Applebee.

Oh, we may already have.

A search of his motel
room turned up this.

What is that? Book weight.

Okay.

Size and shape are
consistent with the wound.

I'm not sure about the heft.
- Believe me,

a blow to the temple
with the weighted end

could incapacitate someone.

Peter?

I'll have Forensics take a
look. Welcome back, huh?

You're my hero.

Parade's over, pal.

So Megan's ex? Really?

Not gonna happen, Ethan.

Dr. Hunt.

Dr. Murphy.

Did you finish your
rapid touch prep yet?

I think I left something in
a place that isn't here so...

It's fine, Ethan.

And no. John Doe's bone tissue

needs to decalcify
for another half hour.

Did you find anything that
could be our trauma weapon?

Maybe.

But believe it or not,

Ray Easton is still
processing the scene.

That man is a pain in my ass.

A lot of people say the
same thing about you.

So is it gonna be
like this from now on?

Why do you ask me?

She's the one who decided to
date my ex-husband. Ask her.

So our John Doe's wallet.

I found this tucked deep inside.

Not much was salvageable
in the way of identification,

but I was able to get
something from inside the leather

where a credit card
left an impression.

Okay. It just needs to scan.

This is pretty cool. Right?

Families

Reconnected.

I'm so sorry, Miss Armstrong.

Had I had known
Ben was in the house,

I would have tried to save him.

Ben and I started
Families Reconnected

to reunite adopted children
with their birth parents.

We were our own
best advertisement.

I gave Ben up for
adoption when I was 21.

Thirty years later, he found me.

I lost him once as a baby,
and to lose him again...

Uh, was Jenna Applebee a client?

Uh, yes.

She left a message at the
office. She was distraught.

Ben must have gone
over to talk to her.

About what?

Her birth father,
Daniel Robinson.

We found him
living in Center City.

Two days ago, Ben
went to his home.

It didn't go well.

Mr. Robinson closed
the door on Ben's hand.

You don't think

that Daniel Robinson had
something to do with this?

Um, I'm afraid it's
too soon to know,

but I promise, we'll find out.

Daniel Robinson,

chair of the
Chemistry Department

at Penn Hill College. Wife,
Carol. Daughter, Emily.

Two-story house on
Rittenhouse Square.

Perfect life.

Till Ben showed up
talking about Jenna.

But Daniel doesn't
want to hear about it,

he slams the door on Ben's hand.

What a guy.

All right, this was
two days ago?

That's right.

It's consistent with
the age of his injuries.

But just because

this Daniel Robinson didn't
want a relationship with Jenna

doesn't mean he wanted
her dead. Somebody did.

All I can guarantee
you is that Ben

didn't injure his hand
fighting off an attacker.

One thing's for sure. If
Daniel Robinson did do this,

he's gonna get a lot more than
his hand slammed in the door.

Peter Dunlop.

Based on what?

Unh. They just
arrested Mike Applebee.

How could you
arrest Mike Applebee

before even talking
to Daniel Robinson?

Mike Applebee has motive
as a jealous husband,

he has no alibi,

and we have forensic evidence

that directly ties
him to the crime.

Forensics on the book
weight were inconclusive.

But the vodka
bottle we recovered

came back from the lab.

Applebee's prints
were all over it.

He used to live there.

His prints could've
gotten on that months ago.

Or they got there
the night of the fire.

Applebee's prints were
the only ones on the bottle.

You're the one who insisted
the fire wasn't an accident.

I thought you'd have been
happy we nailed someone for it.

Not if you got the wrong guy.

You know what I find puzzling?

It's why we're all
justifying ourselves to you.

And yet still not
succeeding. Hmm.

Daniel Robinson is a
chemistry professor.

He knows about
combustible materials.

Jenna Applebee is the
daughter he never wanted.

She comes back into his life,
she ends up in the hospital.

Vodka was the accelerant,

Applebee's prints are
the only ones on the bottle.

In my line of work,
that's a smoking gun.

You weren't in that house.

When I got to Jenna,
she called me dad.

Try explaining that, huh?

Did you know about that?

No.

Looks like Daniel Robinson
does very well for himself.

Come on. Look, the car
ride over was quiet enough.

I'm sorry, this is all
getting a little too personal.

Well, it's understandable.

You pulled Jenna out
of a burning building.

But withholding evidence? Ugh.

What's going on with you?

I know what it's like to
wonder about your birth parents.

I wondered about mine
for years. Excuse me?

You were adopted?

Before my dad died, he
gave me a sealed envelope.

Inside was information
about my birth parents.

All I had to do
was look, but I...

I couldn't.

So I put it in his coffin
and I said goodbye.

You know, I thought that
after I buried my father

that all those questions
were behind me.

Who I was, where
I came from, and...

Take it from me,

just because you
bury your father,

the questions don't
get buried with him.

Hey, you're not the only one

who gets to make annoying
personal observations.

I guess not.

Fancy.

I'm glad that you feel like
you can talk to me. I am.

But if Daniel Robinson is here,
maybe I should do the talking?

Knock yourself out.

Hi. Hi.

I'm Dr. Megan Hunt, with
the medical examiner's office.

Is Daniel Robinson
here? Yeah. Uh...

Dad, there's some
doctor here to see you.

Can I help you?

We're here about Jenna Applebee.

We know she's your daughter.

We also know Ben
Dupres came here to tell you

that Jenna wanted to see you.

I told that guy to forget
he had ever found me.

Was that before or after you
smashed his hand in the door?

That was an accident.

The fire that killed him wasn't.

He's dead?

Jenna is in the ICU
at Franklin Hospital

for cyanide poisoning
and smoke inhalation

because somebody
set fire to her house.

Do you know anything about that?

I've never been
there. I was very clear.

I didn't want any
contact with Jenna,

but she showed
up here last night.

Wait. Wait a minute.

Jenna was here?

She said that she
needed to talk to me.

That she had taken the
train all the way from Olney.

That the least I could do
was give her some answers.

And you sent her packing, right?

I asked her to
respect my decision

and to leave my family alone.

Now, that may seem
heartless to you,

but my wife would
never understand.

Sounds like you got
a lot to lose, professor.

I didn't harm Jenna.

Or Ben Dupres.

Please, just leave me alone.

I didn't get anything
off of Jenna's clothes

that points to a suspect.

Just a bunch of
toxic trace materials.

Poor girl. She was
just trying to figure out

where she came from.

How's she doing?

Her doctors don't know
if she's gonna wake up,

but at least she still has
a chance. What's that?

The bottom of Jenna's shoe.

I'm using it as a time
line to trace her last day.

First, there are
traces of a chelator:

Disodium Ethanoldiglycinate.

Typically found in
commercial floor cleaners.

Probably from the donut
shop where she worked.

And on top of that, I
found this clay pebble.

The kind people use to
decorate frou-frou gardens.

Daniel Robinson had pebbles

like this lining his walkway.

Which confirms
that Jenna was there.

Did she step in paint?

Yeah. Alkyd resin,
city traffic paint.

So she leaves Daniel's.

On her way to the station,
she steps in wet paint.

What's up?

Jenna Applebee is dead.

You did everything
you could, Peter.

Tell that to Louisa Armstrong.

Her son is dead and
we still don't know why,

and now Jenna.

I can handle this one myself.

Get out of here.

Thank you.

Is he okay?

Yeah.

What are you doing?

Smell this.

Not a chance.

It smells like bitter almonds.

Hydrogen cyanide.

If you and that button nose
of yours can smell the cyanide,

why did we pay for a
rush on Jenna's tox?

Her cyanide level was lethal.

The hospital give her
100 percent oxygen?

They administered
hydroxocobalamin too.

And she was responding.

If the treatment was working,

why is her cyanide
level so high?

Someone gave her
cyanide in the hospital.

You wanna tell me how Mike
Applebee poisoned his wife

from a holding cell?

We made a mistake, all right?

Bud's releasing him now.

I spoke with Skip already.

Ray is in Lancaster working
on a case. He's on his way back.

Whoever did this was counting
on cyanide being overlooked

because Jenna had already
been exposed to it in the fire.

Now might be a good time

for you guys to pay
Daniel Robinson a visit.

But how did Daniel know
about the cyanide poisoning

in the first place?

I, uh, told him about
Jenna's condition

when Megan and I went
to see him at his house.

Well, hospital security sent
over hours of surveillance

of the hallway
outside Jenna's room.

It's gonna take a
while to get through it.

I found cyanide
in Jenna's IV port.

Given the lethal
level in her blood,

she would've been
dead in about an hour.

Counting back
from time of death,

the killer would have
been in her room

between 4 and 6 p.m.

If you guys need
another set of eyes...

Skip said he can help out
too. He'll be here in an hour.

Have fun.

Did the hospital
note head trauma?

Uh, yup. Blunt force trauma
to the temporal region.

Maybe something
fell on her in the fire?

I don't think so.

If somebody subdued Ben, they
probably did the same to Jenna.

Wheel him over
here, will you? Yeah.

Those are completely
different wound patterns.

Yeah, two different weapons?

It doesn't make sense.

Why use one on Ben and
a different one on Jenna?

Any progress?

There is some
material in the wound.

I need you to... Test it?

Yes. Sure, yes.

I'll, uh... Sorry.

Early night?

I have my cell with
me if you need me.

Let me guess.

The ballet?

I know that Todd's firm has
box seats at the Academy.

Actually, we're going
to a gallery opening.

He can be charming.

Todd is a good man.

Let's just leave it at charming.

Look, I'm sorry. I know
this is hard for you.

But this relationship
is happening.

The sooner you can come
to terms with it, the better.

From the Donut Spot.

In honor of Jenna.

My favorite is the
Bavarian cream.

It's the best in
the city, bar none.

Good call.

Hmm.

Heard you used to be a cop.

How did you end
up in the ME's office?

I got shot.

So all that time in rehab,

I realized that I
enjoyed medicine.

Working in the ME's office
is the best of both worlds.

Hmm. PETER: How about you?

I got Ray to blame.

He kind of took me under
his wing at the Fire Academy.

The instructors starting
calling me Skip Easton. Heh.

The guy basically adopted me,

and we've been
like family ever since.

Did you see that? What?

Daniel Robinson? No.

Daniel Robinson's
daughter. Emily.

We watched over three
hours of surveillance video.

Only one person had no
business being there: you.

Well, Jenna died of
cyanide poisoning.

Now, cyanide is
difficult to come by.

Well, unless your
dad has a chem lab.

I didn't poison Jenna.

When she showed up
at my house that night,

my dad didn't know I was home.

I... I heard them talk.

He was such a jerk to her.

I thought, you know, maybe
if I showed up at the hospital,

I could bring her some peace.

Bring her some peace?

That's all you've got?

I swear.

I wanted a sister my whole life.

I... I tried to talk to her
that night at the house.

But she just took off running
toward Anderson Park, crying.

My daughter didn't do this.

I don't understand why
you won't leave us alone.

Just like you wanted Jenna
and Ben to leave you alone?

You have no right to judge me.

Why did you give Jenna up?

Because I was 17.

Completely unprepared
for the responsibility.

Jenna's mother wanted to leave
her in a gas station bathroom.

I brought her to
the police station.

I spent the last money I
had on a T-shirt and a...

And a toy.

And I left her there
with a stuffed animal

so she wouldn't be alone.

Was that toy a stuffed turtle?

How could you
possibly know that?

Because when I found Jenna
in the fire, she was holding it.

Of all her possessions,
that's the one thing

that she tried to save.

She kept it with
her all these years?

Yes.

I just wish you'd given her
the chance to tell you herself.

Where's Bud?

He's at South Station
with SEPTA security.

Trying to see whether or not
Jenna was at the train station

the night of the fire. So,
what are we doing here?

Well, to the west
is Anderson Park,

to the east, South Station.

Emily Robinson said
Jenna went towards the park.

Okay.

We know Jenna took
the train to Daniel's house.

Now, she would have had
to take the 846 train back

in order for Peter to
find her in the living room.

Which means either
Emily got it wrong or...

Or somebody gave
Jenna a ride home.

I wonder what happened here?

Hmm.

Fire? Ray said he was
looking for somebody

who's been torching toy stores.

And Jenna stepped in wet paint.

She was here.

Let's take a look
inside, shall we?

Wanna tell us what happened?

Uh... It's just a
small electrical fire.

Looks like your sprinklers
went off. Did PFD respond?

Uh, it was such a
small fire, you know,

no need for firefighters.

Besides, when I got here,

the sprinklers had
already, uh, put it out.

Is something wrong?

We should call Ray.

What is that?

Looks...

Looks like a cannon fuse.

Cannon fuse? Yeah.

You know, for, um, hobby
rockets, that sort of thing.

But I don't carry
those here in my store.

What?

Ray Easton has a cannon.

Geraldine.

He fires it off to
celebrate closing a case.

Are you trying to
tell me Ray did this?

Maybe he's a good
arson investigator

because he is the one
lighting the damn fire.

Has anyone even seen
Ray Easton's fire evidence?

When I got to the
Applebee house,

he would not let
me move Ben's body

until he worked the
scene by himself.

He dragged his heels when
he was processing the house.

You're talking about the PFD's

most decorated
arson investigator.

I'm not gonna bring him
in based on your hunch

and a half burned
piece of string.

You arrested Mike Applebee
over a broken vodka bottle.

And I was wrong. Excuse me

if I don't wanna
repeat the experience.

How about you worry about
Jenna Applebee instead of yourself?

Dr. Hunt's helped you
close more than a few cases,

I wouldn't be so quick to
discount what she says.

About the blunt
force trauma weapon,

can you connect
that to Ray Easton?

I recovered some trace
from Jenna's wound. Uh...

Ethan verified
that it's leather.

But Jenna's wound and
Ben's are very different.

So we're looking for one
leather-bound weapon

that can create two
different impressions

and is approximately
the same size

as Mike Applebee's book weight.

I don't know what that is.

I do.

It's a sap.

It gets passed down
through cop families.

Can I see that?

Nothing is better to protect
yourself in a close range fight.

Or to knock someone
out before you start a fire.

Ray comes from
a cop family, right?

So maybe he has a sap as well.

You worked with his
father in the Badlands?

Yeah.

He had a sap.

Make a call.

I'll inform the mayor
and the fire chief,

so they don't get
blindsided by this.

While you guys
talk to the big fish,

I'll reach out to, uh, Skip,

see what I can get out of him.

One weapon,

two wounds.

I heard about
your investigation.

When you said you
wanted to hang out,

I figured beers
would be involved.

This toy store was
almost the latest casualty

of your serial arsonist.

Really? Yeah.

Why weren't Ray and I called?

Because we recovered a
piece of the incendiary device.

Cannon fuse. Hold on a sec.

You think Ray was involved?

The idea that I'm
responsible is absurd.

Was it? Heh.

We found cannon
fuse at a toy store fire.

Honestly, this looks
more like insurance fraud

than serial arson.

Except that the owner
didn't file a claim.

This looks like
Jenna's turtle, heh.

That toy store was a block away

from where Daniel
Robinson lives.

So what? So your cannon fuse

usually gave you time to escape.

Only this time the
alarm went off early

and that's when Jenna
Applebee saw you.

Look, did...? Hey.

How did you know that
Jenna had a stuffed turtle?

I logged it as
evidence at the house.

No, you didn't.

I saw it burn in the fire.

So, what are you saying?

You got one of these, don't you?

You used it on Jenna, on Ben,

and then you burned her
house down to cover your tracks.

Then when Jenna doesn't die,

you poisoned her in the
hospital to finish her off.

You sure a sap was
used in these attacks?

Oh, yeah.

Getting my sap was a big deal.

When my father
retired, he gave it to me.

I don't have any kids.

So when Skip passed his
level twos, I gave it to him.

He was proud.

I was prouder.

You gave it to Skip?

Yeah.

Peter is in trouble.

I'm saying that you
couldn't have known

unless you got there before me.

I think you've been pulling
too many all-nighters.

Hey!

I think you played the hero
enough, don't you think?

I'm just gonna walk out of here.

I don't think so.

Drop the gun.
Now. Skip, it's over.

Drop it!

Hands on your head.

You got him, partner? Yeah.

Jenna recognized Skip
from the Donut Spot.

Where she worked? PETER: Yeah.

Skip was a regular.

His favorite was Bavarian cream.

Best in the city,
bar none. Right?

So it wasn't just the
alarm that stopped her.

She saw somebody she
knew coming out of here.

Skip?

Jenna?

She knew you worked
for the fire department.

Just running some tests.

You told her
everything was okay.

You even offered
her a ride home.

That was her mistake.
She trusted you.

And I made the same mistake.

I'm sorry, Ray.

Unh, I'm so sorry.

Three generations of Easton
men have carried this sap

and now it's evidence?

I'll make sure it gets
right back to you.

Don't bother. Ray, you
can't blame yourself.

He knew your methodology,
your investigative process.

Well, fortunately,
he didn't know yours.

I'm gonna go fire Geraldine.

Sorry, Ray.

Yeah.

Yeah, me too.

You okay?

Mind if I come in late
tomorrow morning?

No, not with what you've
been through this week.

I'll cover for you with Kate.

Oh, maybe I should come in.

I mean, the less you two
talk, the better, you know.

I have been very professional.

Semi-professional.

We've caught the man
responsible for Ben's murder.

His name... Please, don't, uh.

I don't want that name
to be the last thing

that I associate with Ben.

But thank you.

Sure.

Miss Armstrong, I...

I know the timing
couldn't be worse, but, uh...

Working on Ben's case has
stirred up a lot of questions

about where I come
from. You were adopted?

I don't know what your plans
are for Families Reconnected,

but I was hoping that you'd
help me find my birth parents.

Ben wouldn't have
it any other way.

You wanted to see me?

Oh, yeah. Congratulations.

I heard they, uh,
arrested Skip Rakoski.

If you hadn't had
my back with Bud,

we never would've
found out about Skip.

It's my job.

How was the gallery opening?

Um, honestly, not great.

I guess I can add fine
art to the list of things

that don't interest Todd.

Try bowling next time.

Bowling? The man
likes stale nachos

and rented shoes.

It's a mystery why
we never worked out.

Okay, well, thanks for the tip.

So...

- are we good?
- We're all right.

Your relationship with
Todd is happening.

We just won't be double
dating any time soon.

No. Well, that would imply
that you'd actually go on a date.

Well, maybe you could
set me up with someone.

Like your brother.

I'll see you at the
staff meeting, Dr. Hunt.

Yes, you will, Dr. Murphy.
