Body of Proof (2011–2013): Season 3, Episode 9 - Disappearing Act - full transcript

(PEOPLE SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)

WOMAN: We're here
for the second week of testimony

in the trial of Gerry Roberts,

the Philadelphia
investment fund manager

accused of bilking his clients
out of nearly $1 billion.

Investigators believe
that the bulk of that money

has been laundered overseas,

but they have not yet
been able to find it.

Meanwhile, security has been
tightened here at the courthouse

in the wake of multiple death threats
being made against Mr. Roberts.

Live from the courthouse steps,
I'm Diane Mizota.



Back to you in the studio.

Just to be clear,

you never stole any money,

you never guaranteed any investor
a specific return on their money?

There are no guarantees in investing.

I didn't steal their money,

the market turned.

It goes with the territory.

LAWYER: Thank you.

Nothing further.

So, you didn't steal almost &1 billion,

you just lost it,

is that what you're saying?

Everyone who's ever invested with me
signed a piece of paper



saying they understood the risks.

If they invested
what they weren't prepared to lose,

then they shouldn't have invested
in the first place.

(ALL CLAMORING)

Order!

Order!

(CLAMOR CONTINUES)

Order! Now!

How's it looking?

South side exit's clear,
backups are standing by.

That's good. From the looks of it,
we're probably gonna need them.

(CLAMOR CONTINUES)

Don't touch me!

Yeah, get a job, man. Get a job.

TOMMY: Come on, keep moving.
Keep moving.

What the hell was that?

Keep moving. Keep moving.

Is that a Bouguereau?

Limited Series R.
Bought it from Eric Clapton.

- You a collector?
- No, I wish, at that level.

What's it got, 12 complications?

Yeah, astronomical, minute repeater,
the phases of the moon...

I hate to break this up, guys.
Down the stairs. Straight down.

Here. Let's go.

- Okay, okay, okay.
- Just one flight down.

- One flight down, guys.
- One more, one more.

Stop.

ADAM: Okay, it's this one... Wait.

It's locked. I thought
you said you cleared the exit!

I did. I checked it.

We're sitting ducks.
We gotta get him out of here.

- (LOUD CLATTER)
- GERRY: Wait! What's happening?

Take point. Get him upstairs. Go!

- Guys, help me!
- (GRUNTS)

Who are you? (COUGHS)

Where are you taking me?

MAN: Let's move! Let's move!

GERRY: What's going on?
Tell me what's going on!

(COUGHS)

(TIRES SQUEAL)

This is Sullivan. Request assistance...

- (WOMAN SCREAMS)
- (THUDDING)

(SCREECHING)

TOMMY: Prisoner taken
from the courthouse.

- MAN: You all right?
- A black SUV.

- North on Arch.
- Somebody call an ambulance.

I need an ambulance.
We got an auto ped, hit and run.

13th and Arch,
north side of the courthouse.

Victim's female. Unconscious.

- (SIREN WAILS)
- (COUGHS)

(HONKS)

(EXHALES)

Who's that guy?

You know I just got here, too, right?
I'll find out.

You get started on the body.
I'll be right back.

(TOMMY COUGHS)

What happened?

You're a sight for sore eyes.

We were at the Gerry Roberts detail.

Somebody snatched him
right out from underneath us.

I got a little bump on the head, too.

He needs some ice on that.

Any palpitations,
trouble breathing, chest pains?

No, I'm fine.

You are gonna go to the hospital and
get X-rays on your chest and your head.

No, I'm going to find these... (COUGHS)

Who's the body?

Oh. She was an innocent bystander,

got hit by the getaway car.

It was a black SUV.
There was no... (COUGHS)

No license...

You, bronchial spray for both of them.

- Watch out for hypoxia.
- All right.

- Do it.
- We're on it.

Her name's Jennifer Sanchez.

Forty-four.
She's got a Florida driver's license.

MEGAN: You think she drove
all the way up here for this?

If so, it's pretty tragic.

I'll say.

The man you asked about
when we arrived?

His name is John Anderson.
He was giving her CPR

when the EMTs showed up.

Let's get her back.

Okay.

Tragic and shocking turn of events at
the Gerry Roberts financial fraud trial.

Police escorting Roberts
from the courtroom

were attacked by masked men...

Great. We're all over the news.

... who then kidnapped Roberts
at gunpoint.

How'd they figure out the exit route?
We changed it every day.

Whoever did this had enough resources

to buy a cop
or a courthouse security guard.

Yeah, well, Roberts has got resources.

Roberts? The guy who was screaming
for help as he was carted away?

Do you realize the kind of crap
we're gonna be in if he ends up dead?

COP: Detectives?

You guys need to see this.

This was just posted to the
"Victims of Gerry Roberts" website.

(CLEARS THROAT)

(GERRY SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY)

Hey! What are you doing?

- That's him.
- GERRY: No!

Brace yourselves.

TOMMY: Oh, no!

(SOBBING) Please, don't!

- I'll give you your money back.
- No.

- Please don't kill me.
- No.

(GUNSHOT)

(GERRY GASPING ON TAPE)

(SOBBING) Please, don't!

I'll give you your money back.

- Please don't kill me.
- (GUNSHOT)

A billion dollars missing

and the only man who knows
where that is is dead.

Do you have any idea the kind of
pressure I'm under because of you two?

How did these men
get the drop on you?

Somebody figured out our exit route.

You cleared it before you left?

Yes, ma'am. We had the green light.

So their plan was better than yours.

Terrific.

The FBI broke the Roberts case.

And our job
was just to babysit the defendant,

and we couldn't even manage that.

Now the FBI
is demanding accountability,

the national press corps
is demanding answers.

Now, what the hell
do you suggest I tell them?

Tell them it was an inside job.

Somebody bought off
a courthouse security guard.

And he tipped off our security route.

What else could it be?

Here's what you're going to do.
You're going to find that leak.

And you're going to find Roberts' killers.

Because we're gonna have to pull
something positive

out of this catastrophe,

or I'm gonna have both of your asses
mounted on my wall, understand me?

- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, ma'am.

Go do it.

Multiple blunt force traumatic injuries,

multiple associated fractures.

I'm guessing that she exsanguinated
from internal hemorrhaging.

Look at this.

Zipper pull's deformed.

Must have caught on something
as the car went over her.

Looks like it took some paint chips
along with it.

What was the name
of that website again?

The one with the video on it?

VictimsOfGerry. Org.

Hey, I thought you said
that video was ghoulish.

I'm not looking at the video,
I'm looking at Jennifer Sanchez's page.

Looks like there's some trace
on her pant leg from the tire tread.

Jennifer Sanchez.
Secretary, divorcee...

Lives with parents.

Convinced her family to invest
their life savings with Gerry Roberts.

(SIGHS)

- Let's get started.
- Okay.

I did clear that exit.

Well, it wasn't clear
when we got there, was it?

It would've been exactly the same thing
if you'd done it.

Adam, we can talk about this all day.
This is not helping.

No, it isn't.

Somebody got the jump on us.
We gotta do something to fix it.

Okay, what's next?

- Video.
- The video?

We're not going to get
a courthouse security guard like that.

Forget about the security guard.

There's something else going on here.

Forget about
the courthouse security guard?

What do you got?

I don't know yet. You go first.

Victim's name is Jennifer Sanchez.
Avulsion of the renal arteries

and subsequent exsanguination
is the official cause of death.

Lab is running trace. Your turn.

(SIGHS)

All right, in your expert medical opinion,
could Roberts have faked that video?

- Are you for... Are you real?
- Let the doctor speak.

You mean, faked his own death?

Ha!

Blood spatter looked pretty real to me,
but can't be sure without a body.

Can we please just hold on
one second?

TOMMY: Let's just consider
the situation here, okay?

Roberts is in custody.
He's about to be convicted.

Why risk killing him, if it means
you're not gonna get your money back?

The guys in that video didn't look
like they wanted their money back.

Yeah, but it's all just part of the ruse.

Most snuff films are faked

because there's one piece of evidence
they can never find,

it's the body.

Now, why hasn't Roberts' body
showed up?

Because he's alive and he's the one
who leaked our exit route.

Find him, find the money.

We go from goats to heroes.

Okay, what if you're wrong?

Look, I'm gonna take the heat
as long as I can,

but in the meantime,

Roberts' last known whereabouts
is on that video where he got shot.

Now, the FBI, they got some people
trained in video analysis.

Maybe one of us should pay 'em a visit.

That'd be me.

(SCOFFS)

This is such a long shot.

Nice theory.

There was some poetic justice
in Roberts being dead.

But if he's alive, even better.
Let me know.

Uh, listen, Megan.

(SIGHS)

Look, I meant to tell you,
but with everything going on...

I got a call from the crime lab.

They started working on
your father's suicide note.

I should get the results in a day or two.

(SIGHS)

Thanks.

(GERRY GRUNTING ON TAPE)

We were part of the team that
investigated Roberts in the first place.

Oh, really? I didn't know that.

- We're all thrilled to see him go down.
- (GUNSHOT)

Just not like that.

Okay, Julie. Let's take it back.

What are you doing?

Hey, you hear that?

What?

Underneath the highway noise,
there's a clicking sound.

I'll give you your money back.

Highway traffic counter?

The interval's too regular. Right?

It sounds like there's a bell
in the background, too. Real faint.

Play it again.

(BELL TOLLING)

- What are you doing?
- (BELL TOLLING)

- Take a listen.
- Thank you.

Please, don't!
I'll give you your money back.

Um, have either of you ladies
ever surfed the rail yards?

Surfed the rail yards?

You know, like on a dare? We used
to go container hopping in high school.

Anyway, that is the sound of one train
crossing the tracks

as it enters the rail yards.
And there is only one yard

with a highway and a church
in the same vicinity.

Thank you.

How is it that nobody called this in?

A lot goes on in the yards
no one ever sees.

Yes, Detective Sullivan.

I need a CSU unit...

We're in a lot across the tracks
from St. Vincent's. I got a burned car.

Body in the back. Or what's left of one.

That's what post-cremation looks like.

You see the chalky white texture
on the bones?

DNA's been destroyed.

- Ethan!
- Huh?

- Take pictures.
- Right, right. Sorry.

What's that?

Looks like a bone that
escaped the fire damage.

From the width of it,
I'd say it's part of the fibula.

Hey, I've got teeth.

Three... No, four.

Any idea what that is?

MEGAN: Dental implants.

Did Roberts have dentures?

I hope not.

Well, between the fibula and the teeth,
we'll have plenty of DNA.

We'll know soon enough if it's Roberts.

Tommy.

Ah, grease.

What do you got?

This is the Bouguereau Limited
Series R, it's 12 complications.

Meaning what?

Meaning it's Gerry Roberts' watch.

And the video is not a fake.

Well, you do realize,
if this is Roberts, we're screwed.

We're never gonna get
that money back that he stole.

Sorry. You're screwed.

Really?

Yeah. Turns out
Roberts did have dentures.

Full uppers, partial lowers,

with titanium stabilization implants.

What teeth he did have left

are a perfect match.

And then there's the DNA.

The top is from the fibula.

The bottom from a hair
taken from Roberts' penthouse.

Also a perfect match.

Great. A billion dollars gone.

Thousands of victims
never made whole, and it's on us.

We can still catch the killers.

Unless we're demoted
to patrol cops first.

You got any leads
that I don't know about?

As a matter of fact, we do.

Results came back
from the SUV paint chips

and the trace from the tire treads.

We found a type of moss in the tread
that doesn't grow in Philly.

Hell, it doesn't even grow in the States!

Where does it grow?

The east coast of China.

Most prevalent around port cities.
Something to do with the salt water.

&250 million of the roughly &1 billion
that Roberts stole

came from the Chinese government's
private investment fund.

Yeah, but there's plenty of companies
that manufacture cars in China.

That's true, Detective.

But then, there's also the paint chips.

(LAUGHS)

You see, for security reasons,

the Chinese government customizes
all of their consular vehicles

before shipping them to the U.S.

Part of that customization is a coat of
patent-pending, impact-resistant paint.

Anybody want to guess
what kind of paint this is?

The idea that anyone working
in any official capacity

for the Chinese government

could have anything to do
with Roberts' murder is absurd.

What about in an unofficial capacity?

What about the SUV?

He was kidnapped
in a Chinese consular vehicle.

A stolen consular vehicle.

There's no record of any vehicle
stolen from the Chinese Consulate.

- We didn't report it.
- Why not?

We like to take care
of these matters internally.

Like offing someone
who stole money from you?

Detective...

JINBAO: The Chinese government
had nothing to do with this, I assure you.

Now it seems quite clear to me

that someone is trying to make it
look as though we did.

That would be
most unfortunate for them.

There are enough misunderstandings
between our countries

without someone trying to create more.

Don't you agree, Dr. Murphy?

Of course.

We'll need the record
of that stolen vehicle.

I will see that you get them.

And if there are any developments
on your end, you will let us know?

Naturally. We'll be watching this case
with great interest.

We want justice as much as you do.

What was that all about?

What was what all about?

"We take care
of these matters internally"?

Blaming the Chinese
would be "most unfortunate"?

Those were veiled threats. You just
smiled and agreed with the guy.

Megan, we tread extremely carefully
here, understand?

- Mmm-hmm.
- Listen, if that SUV was stolen,

the only physical evidence we have left
is back in your morgue.

Meaning what?

Meaning do what you do. Go back
to the bodies. Find me something.

There's nothing left to find, Tommy.

Why don't you go find something?

- I found something.
- Okay.

Ha!

I can't imagine why you two
didn't work out as a couple.

- Let's go.
- Where?

Back to the bodies.

(EXHALES)

Hey, you know that phrase,
"A watched pot never boils"?

Shh.

You're annoying me.

You asked me to stay.

And besides,
we've already looked at everything.

Then let's look again.

I'm not helping,
so I think I'm just gonna leave.

Wait. Wait.

This is loose.

Yeah, well...

Of course it's loose. It's been through
a 2,000-degree fire.

No, implants are permanent.

They eventually fuse with the bone
over time. It's called osseointegration.

This should be rock solid.

When did Roberts get his implants?

Uh...

Three years ago.

- (SNAPS)
- Ah!

Look at that.
No osseointegration whatsoever.

Wait, what you just said is impossible.

No. Not if you took Roberts' real tooth...

Right.

...and a new implant...

Yeah.

...and put them in the jaw bone
of another man.

We pulled DNA from his fibula.

A piece of his fibula, which I'm guessing

is the exact same length
as the steel rod used to replace it.

Ha! These guys are good.

What guys?

The guys who were helping Roberts
fake his own death.

Shockingly, Tommy was right.

Roberts faked his own death.

TOMMY: Well, he had a good plan.
For starters,

he had a well-armed, well-trained,
well-funded strike force,

probably ex-military.

Whoever did it stole a consular SUV,
implicating the Chinese,

knowing that they'd be suspects after
Roberts burned them for &250 million.

Then he manufactured the forensics.
Taking his own teeth,

surgically implanting them
into the jawbone of another man,

and then taking a piece of his fibula,

positioning it in a way
that it looked like it escaped the fire.

You're talking
two separate surgical procedures.

Well, the guy's got close to &1 billion

of other people's money stashed away.

How far would you go to keep it?

To pull it off, he would need
somebody who had forensic expertise.

And I hate to say it, Kate.

We are looking for one of our own.
A forensic pathologist.

Okay, Roberts has been
under house arrest

since the day charges were filed, right?

So how does he pull all this together
when he's being watched 24l7?

That's an excellent question.

So, Roberts is alive,

despite pronouncements to the contrary
from this office.

I had two separate sources of DNA
confirming it was Roberts.

It's a shame
you didn't have all the information

when you made a trip
to the Chinese Consulate today.

We had every justification at the time.

Justification to accuse
Chinese government officials

of conspiracy and murder?

TOMMY: We didn't accuse anybody...

Well, I did. Sort of.

Well, she did.

The Consulate has lodged an official
complaint against the department.

I'm starting to think that our relationship
with the ME's department

has gotten just a little bit too cozy.

We're actually supposed
to assist each other,

and not magnify
each other's screw-ups.

You four put your heads together
and suddenly I am putting out fires.

Megan, Detectives,
I think the Chief and I

need to have a conversation in private.

Yeah.

We didn't screw up anything.
We proved the forensics were false.

All right,
don't let Chief Martin get to you.

She just likes to get up in your face.

I don't give a crap about the Chief.
Somebody's toying with us.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Sanchez
is still dead.

What are we doing about that?

Dr. Murphy's got a point, though.

Roberts has been
under house arrest for months.

With a police guard and a video log
of everybody coming and going.

We should take a look.

Let me know what you find out.

So, your father's suicide note
was written "under duress"?

What are you doing? That's my work.

You gave his suicide note to the police
so they can analyze his handwriting?

You already know the answer to that
since you just read the report.

I gave you that note
so you could finally get closure,

not to open an investigation.

- Of course I'm having it analyzed.
- Why?

So I can find out what really happened.

I told you what really happened.

No, you told me what you believe
happened. This is what I do.

I follow the evidence
until I find the truth.

When the evidence proves
what I've been saying all along,

I hope I will get an apology from you.

What'd you want, Mom?

I wanted to take you to lunch,
but I can see you're far too busy.

Angela, I sympathize with you. I do.
I don't like putting out fires, either.

But you're gonna like it
a hell of a lot less

when a case comes along
that you can't close

because you've shut this office out,
and somehow the press gets wind of it.

Is that a threat?

It's an inevitability.

Now, why don't you tell me
what you're really doing here?

I've been asked by your friend, the DA,
to endorse your candidacy.

If I do so, it will be under one condition.

You start keeping a tighter leash
on your people.

I will keep that in mind.

Detective Sullivan?

Officer Dunn. What brings you here?

I had a hunch you might be here.

The Chinese Consulate delivered
the file on the stolen SUV.

Did you read it?

The vehicle was manufactured
in China, shipped here,

then it was stolen from a supermarket
parking lot in Wynnewood.

There's been no trace of it since.

So you didn't come here to tell us
we hit a dead end?

Actually, I was wondering
what you were doing Friday night.

I have two tickets to
the Sixers-Knicks game.

And I thought I would pay you back
for taking me to see the Flyers.

Thank you. I can't.

It's poker night. I'm hosting.

Another time?

Sure. No problem.
You have my number.

TOMMY: Well, according to this log,

Roberts had 53 visitors
over a period of four months.

So, Officer Dunn. You made up poker
just to let her down easy?

Yeah.

She's very attractive.
Is something wrong with you?

Megan and I went out for drinks
the other night.

We kind of turned a corner.
I just don't wanna screw it up.

"Corner"? What,
did you sleep with her?

I'm not talking about 20 years ago,
I mean, like, now.

Did you sleep...

(CLEARS THROAT)

Listen, I've got the greatest respect
for Megan as a doctor,

but she let you down more than once.

You wanna keep on running into that

when you got this attractive woman,
she's chasing you about?

You know, you're probably
not gonna believe this,

but someday, having an
attractive woman chase you around

isn't gonna be all that.

You're right. I don't believe you.

Wait a second. Right here.

ADAM: Who is that?

The good Samaritan.

Oh, yeah!

The guy who was helping
Jennifer Sanchez at the scene.

11:44.

- John Anderson.
- John Anderson.

What are you doing at Gerry Roberts'
apartment, John Anderson?

This was taken from the lobby
of Roberts' apartment building

while he was on house arrest.

Who is it?

Oh, it's John Anderson.

He's the guy who tried to save
Jennifer Sanchez at the crime scene.

What was he doing in the lobby?

Good question.
We think he may be a go-between.

He set up the kidnapping,
but he's definitely a bad guy.

And you know that because...

ADAM: Everything he
told the police is bogus.

His name, his address,
his phone number.

All we've got is his picture.

MEGAN: Actually,
we have more than that.

He gave Jennifer Sanchez mouth
to mouth CPR at the crime scene.

Ethan, I need you to do something
for me right now.

Ethan, talk to me.

I swabbed Jennifer Sanchez's lips
and the lab found foreign DNA.

You run it through CODIS?

Of course.

Dr. Colin Olsson. Forensic pathologist.

TOMMY: It's New York State.

- ETHAN: There's more to show you.
- (TAPPING KEYBOARD)

I did a search on his name,
this is what came up.

MEGAN: He died five years ago?

TOMMY: How's that possible?

This is Dr. Colin Olsson,
forensic pathologist.

He forged prescriptions to obtain
over 30,000 OxyContin pills

that he then sold through the state.
He was sentenced to 10 years.

He was ordered to report to prison
one month later, but he never made it.

He died in a car crash.

The only thing left to ID him
were a few teeth.

Clearly he's good at this.

So, Roberts tracks him down,
hires him to disappear himself.

But how would Roberts know
how to find this guy?

I don't know.
Do we have that after-picture?

Yup.

Oh! Looks like he's
had some work done.

I bet Roberts does the same thing.

Yeah, which means that we don't have
long before he's in the wind.

How are we gonna find him?

Well, Olsson has a wife.
If we can get her to lead us to Olsson,

we can get Olsson
to lead us to Roberts.

How's she going to lead you to her
husband if she thinks he's dead?

We just get her to talk about him.
Find out what his hobbies are,

his habits, anything that can help us
track him down.

What if she doesn't think he's dead?
Maybe she's in on it.

There was no insurance payout.
She did not benefit from his death.

Olsson did. He didn't go to prison.

If she helped him, and you
started asking her questions,

it's gonna tip her off.

What do you suggest?

Let me talk to her.

- Ms. Olsson?
- Yes.

Hi, I'm Megan Hunt.
I'm with the Medical Examiner's Office.

I work with
Detectives Sullivan and Lucas.

They're a little bit tied up right now.
I apologize.

That's fine.
Do you know what I'm doing here?

They said
it was about my husband's death,

but there was no foul play involved.

- I'm sure they'll explain it all to you.
- Okay.

- Please sit.
- Okay.

I'm so sorry about your husband.

Thank you.

How long ago was it that he died?

Uh, five years this summer.

- Ah. That's hard.
- Yeah.

You must miss him.

I do. (SIGHS)
I miss the good times, not the bad.

Ah. You mean his arrest?

No. Actually, it started long before that.

Really? How so?

Well, my husband loved being a doctor.
He also loved to gamble.

Yeah. It's what ruined him.

The whole OxyContin thing

was to pay off debts
he ran up playing online poker.

(SIGHS)

Did you know that he had this problem?

When I found out about the gambling,
I was just in shock.

I begged him to stop, but he just...
He wouldn't.

It almost would have been easier
if it had been a woman, you know?

I lost my husband to VivaLaPoker. Com.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It's just... It's what we were fighting
about the night he died.

And every day I wonder,
if I just hadn't yelled at him

about the money he was losing,

maybe he wouldn't have taken
that drive and crashed his car.

And I really have tried
to move on, you know,

but it's just that question.

You know, that question.

What would have happened
if I had done things differently?

VivaLaPoker. Com. Look it up.

Why's that?

- Her husband was addicted to it.
- (TYPING)

And no, she was not in on it.
She's been blaming herself

for her husband's death
for the last five years.

Ho-ho-ho. The site's still active.

This is really good news.

We can subpoena the website
for his account activity.

If he's created a new account
under a different name,

- we should be able to find him.
- How?

Rephrase. I know two FBI analysts
who should be able to find him.

Did you tell her her husband's alive?

Nope.

Why not?

I wanna find the bastard first.

(TAPPING KEYBOARD)

Okay, here's our data.

Colin Olsson's betting patterns,
playing habits, chat room activity.

Looks like a job for regression analysis.

- Regression analysis. Yeah, of course.
- (TAPPING KEYBOARD)

- How long's that going to take?
- Not long.

We got him!

Colin Olsson now plays
under the username "phoenix2008."

Five years ago he rose from the ashes.
That is cute.

I'm guessing George Washington
isn't his real name

but his IP address is registered to...

Alec Hamilton of San Diego.

- Okay, can you check local hotels?
- Sure.

- (BEEPS)
- Ah.

Alec Hamilton checked into
the Olympian Hotel on Market Street

a little over one month ago.

Thank you. You ladies are awesome!

Yes, we are.

Philly PD. Anybody here?

Closet clear.

Bathroom clear.

He's not here.

(SIGHS)

Look at this guy. Death's the best thing
that ever happened to him.

You know, I don't get it.
These were taken

way before Gerry Roberts
ever got himself into trouble.

You know, I think we've been
looking at this the wrong way.

Roberts didn't find Olsson,
Olsson found him.

Mr. Fake Your Death here has
found himself a little niche industry.

You find a rich guy who's in a jam,
offer to disappear him for a fee.

He must have a whole network
of people involved.

- (BEEPS)
- (CHUCKLES)

It would've been too easy, huh?

Philly PD. Don't move.

Stop, stop, stop, stop.

(BOTH GRUNT)

(HANDCUFFS CLICK)

So, where's Gerry Roberts?

ADAM: The clock is ticking.

He's about to go under the knife
if he hasn't already.

Look, you've got the wrong guy.
My name is Alec Hamilton.

Right. It used to be John Anderson.

ADAM: Your name is Colin Olsson.
You're a forensic pathologist.

You tried to fake your own death
five years ago.

You know, the MEO's got a swab of
your DNA from Jennifer Sanchez's lips

after you tried to give her CPR, right?

Remember that?

We have you dead to rights, Doctor.

So, why'd you help her, anyway?
Did you feel guilty?

You just didn't want to go down
for second-degree murder? What?

Look, I may be many things,
but I'm not a murderer. I'm a doctor.

She went down right in front of me.
I couldn't just do nothing.

Right. So you're a mastermind
with a heart of gold, right?

Everybody except when
it comes to your wife, right?

- My wife? You talked to my wife?
- Yeah, I did talk to your wife.

She's still broken up over you.

- Right, Adam?
- Mmm-hmm.

Listen, she still feels responsible
for your death.

Does that bother you at all?

Look...

(STUTTERS) Yeah,
you got to understand.

I was about to go to prison.

- Oh.
- My life was over.

Faking my death was the only way out.

It was a coward's way out.

No, it was a brilliant way out.

And it turns out there's plenty of people
who would pay to do the same.

And that's what I do.
I give people a second chance.

- You give people a second chance?
- That's what I do.

What about the guy
who you torched in the car?

Were you giving him a second chance?

That was a medical school cadaver.
I have never murdered anybody.

What about Jennifer Sanchez?

That was an accident!

Right now there's a crime lab team
hacking into your computer.

I'm just guessing they're gonna find
a client list, surgeons, dentists,

everybody else involved
in your crappy little operation.

You cooperate now and the DA
is gonna cut you some slack.

If you don't,
we don't need you anymore,

they're gonna chuck you out
to general population.

That, Colin, is where the real killers are.
Do you wanna be there, huh?

You're the gambler.
What's it gonna be, Doc?

(SHUSHING)

Let's go, guys.

Not a sound, or you're the first to go.

Hands where I can see them, guys.

Hey...

Megan, we're in.

- Did he go under yet?
- Let's find out.

(GERRY EXHALES)

Hey, Doc, I don't care
what my coagulation panel says,

we have to do this now.

You should care.

If your clotting factor's low,
you could hemorrhage.

Which is really not a good thing
during surgery.

Who the hell are you?

Dr. Megan Hunt.

You look okay for a dead man.

Long time, no see, Gerry.

Not the wrist wear you're accustomed
to wearing, I imagine.

You're going back to trial, Gerry.

There's no way you're getting out of
this one, I promise you.

One thing you forgot, Detective.

No one knows
where the money is except me.

I'll plead it out in exchange for a deal.

Yeah, you may want to think again.

This is a list from Olsson's computer

of all the clients he's helped disappear
over the years.

We have their new identities,
including yours, John Baker Ashton.

DA's already issued a subpoena
to the FirstCaribbean Bank of Belize.

All accounts in that name.

How much you want to bet they find
all the money you've stashed away?

MEGAN: You're out of options, Gerry.

And by the way,
after you stand trial for fraud,

you will stand trial
for the death of Jennifer Sanchez.

Who the hell is Jennifer Sanchez?

Exactly. (SIGHS)

(INDISTINCT RADIO TALK)

Nice work, Megan.

What are you doing here?

Complimenting you.

- Don't get used to it.
- Yeah.

And why are you two smiling?

Well, we got Roberts.

We got a line on the money
he stole from the investors.

It's a good day for the department.

ANGELA:
Stop patting yourselves on the back.

None of this
would have been necessary

if you had done your jobs
in the first place.

MEGAN: Excuse me,

they did do their job.

Roberts is in custody,
you have nothing to complain about.

This is your idea of
keeping your people on a tighter leash?

Megan, Detectives, I think the Chief
and I need to have another chat.

Angela, I would never presume to
tell you how to discipline your people.

- Good.
- But as far as I'm concerned,

this was a perfect example

of our two departments
cooperating to solve a case.

I'd much rather a few feathers
get ruffled than lose our initiative.

So, do I cut Megan a lot of slack? Yes.

Because time after time, she's earned it.

And I have no intention of reining her in.

Now, Kate,
you are an aspiring politician.

You know
you should never take a position

that you can't walk back
when your supporters tell you to.

You're right. I should know better.

So, here's another position
I can't walk back.

You can keep your endorsement.
I'll take my chances without it.

Hi. I got your message.
What's going on?

I have some news for you
about your husband.

What news?

What happened to him
was not your fault.

Oh. That's very kind...

No, I really mean it.

It's really not your fault.

(SIGHS)

Your husband's alive.

No, but... They told me that...

Don't you wanna know the truth?

Oh, my God. Colin? Colin?

You son of a bitch.

You're alive?

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

- Okay, okay.
- You're sorry?

Oh, my... Just don't. Please.

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

She'll be okay, right?

Yeah, I think.

I mean, it's better she finds out this way
than the front page of a newspaper.

Mmm-hmm.

Anyway, you're the one
I'm worried about.

Me? Why me?

The lab results from your father's
suicide note, they come in tonight.

Good.

Megan...

You might not get the answer you want.

All I want is the truth.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Here it is.

What's it say?

You want to sit down?

Tommy, what's it say?

Now, don't jump to conclusions.

There could be
a variety of explanations there.

They found a foreign fingerprint.

It's not my father's, not my mother's.

Look, Megan, it's a partial fingerprint.

It could be one of your father's patients,

cleaning lady, friend paying a visit,
could be anybody.

Oh, I know whose fingerprint it is.

It's my father's killer.
