Morning.

Good morning.
Coffee?

Yeah, I'd love some,

But we have a dead girl
in kenmore square.

We do? Oh.

My phone must
have been off.

[ buttons clicking ]

Hi, jack.

Jack:
Morning, jane.

[ chuckles ]

He knows he can
come out here, right?

Well, he can't, actually,
until he finds his pants.

I've looked everywhere.

Nice.



And on a school night,
no less. Mm.

[ door opens ]

Ladies.

Hey.

Hey.

Maura, is Thursday still good
to bring allie by?

I'm looking forward to it.

Great.

See you, jane.

Mm.

Good -- good luck
with your pants.

Don't you think that
was a little terse?

I'm sorry.

Men in kimonos
make me uncomfortable.

"kimono."

It's a generic word,
like "clothing."

There's no plural.

And it's suitable
for both men and women.

You know, in japan, wearing
a kimono is called kitsuke.

In america, we call it
"walk of shame."

Do us all a favor.
Buy the man some jammies.

Come on.

[ laughs ]

Wait. Who's allie?

Jack's daughter.

Her seventh-grade class
is doing a career study project,

And she wants to shadow me
for extra credit.

That's pretty grown up
for a seventh grader.

What do you mean
by "grown up"?

Boring.

Well, do you doubt my abilities
to make forensics fun?

Did you hear that sentence that
just came out of your face?

Well, if conversation lags,
I'll vamp.

I'll talk about things that
interested me at that age.

Such as?

My favorite books.

Or, you know,
when I was her age,

I did a science project
on the antimicrobial properties

Of common foods.

Garlic gets the most press,

But the cruciferous family
is not to be underestimated.

So, your plan "b"
is "anne of green gables"

Or broccoli.

Good luck with that.

[ police radio chatter ]

Danielle mitchell.

Let me guess.
20-something?

How do you know?

Is there a law that requires
people to decorate

Their first apartments
with the same five posters?

10 bucks there's a
"breakfast at tiffany's" poster

On the wall
in her bedroom.

Oh, you cannot
know that.

Want to bet?

Taste is an individual's
preference

Based on their specific
cultural experience.

It is impossible
to predict.

No, no, no, wait.

Marilyn monroe, white dress,
on the subway grate.

20 bucks.

Deal.

[ police radio chatter ]

[ camera shutter clicking ]

Yes!
Pay up, baby.

Maybe after.

All right, but don't think
I'm gonna forget.

What do we know?

No forced entry.

Doesn't look like
she was robbed.

The neighbors didn't hear
anything last night.

Anybody know what time
she came home?

Guy across the hall
works a night shift,

Said she got in late,

Couldn't tell if she was
with anybody, though.

Maura: Rigor shows time of death
around midnight,

And lividity indicates she
was moved into this position.

Well, the bag does
suggest asphyxia,

But I'll need to
confirm it with the lab.

It's a pretty tidy
crime scene,

Especially for somebody
who's been strangled.

Well, csru couldn't
pull a print off anything.

Korsak: It would take time
to wipe the surfaces clean.

Killer wasn't in a hurry,

Like they knew
nobody was coming home.

Look how she's laid out
and how deliberate it is.

Like they knew
what they were doing.

Makes me think it's because
they've done it before.

[ door opens ]

You owe me 20 bucks,
dr. Isles.

It is on my desk.

But just
for the record,

I do want to say
that I think you
are underestimating

The merit
of danielle's posters.

What?

You mean you're gonna get like
a bob marley mosaic in y-- no.

"keep calm
and buy shoes."

Ooh, that's good.
I haven't heard that one.

Well, I'm not talking
about taste.

I'm talking about

The evolutionary basis
for cultural trends.

There is no
evolutionary basis

For beer hats
and foam fingers.

Imitation is
a survival strategy.

You know, the viceroy butterfly
imitates the appearance

Of the less-palatable
monarch,

Thereby deterring predators
and ensuring survival.

For butterflies.

My point is that
being unoriginal

Can have
its advantages.

Not for danielle.

Petechial hemorrhaging
confirms

That the cause of death
was asphyxiation.

Yeah, that's what we
were saying was the m.O.

In our ncic search.

Anything so far?

Eh, a few strangulations,

A few girls
in danielle's demographic,

But nothing that can prove
that this was a repeat killing.

I need a special detail

That can link her
to the other victims.

Jasmine hess.

Okay.

Uh...

Yeah,
"hess, jasmine."

Found dead in plymouth county
about six months ago.

She was strangled,
laid out on her bed.

Oh, no, no,
her case is unique.

The m.E. --

Found a cork...

In her throat.

Well, it looks like there's
something to your theory of
imitation after all.

Imitation? What makes you think
it's not the same person?

Because the guy that did
this murder is already in jail.

This side is
the plymouth county case,

And this side is danielle.

Two girls killed the same way
by two different people.

Assuming they got the right guy
in the first case,

This is either
a coincidence or a copycat.

Tell me about our girl.

Well, she worked as a waitress
in the back bay.

Her credit card records
are all pretty normal.

Largest expense is
a hotel reservation

For next month in hawaii.

Probably would have been
a nice vacation.

Do we know who
she was going with?
Still working on it.

Other than that, no serious
debt, no weird activity.

What about
the plymouth county victim?

We find any connection
between them?

Well, they're about
the same age,

But they didn't appear
to know each other,

No shared interests,
no mutual friends,

No connections at all.

Except they both
wound up strangled

With a cork
in their throat.

Ah, except that.

In the trial records,

The original killer
had dated the victim.

Now, he said the cork
was his way to shut her up

After she tried to dump him,
as in "put a cork in it."

Subtle.

Maybe danielle
had a boyfriend

Who used the cork killing
as inspiration?

Possibly, but nobody in her
building saw her with anyone.

Well, let's talk to
her friends and co-workers.

If there was a guy in her life,
somebody knew about him.

Already on it.

There is a connection
between these girls.

We just have to find it.

Mallory: So sad.

We were supposed to work
a shift together tonight.

What can you tell me
about danni?

She was sweet...

Fun.

We worked every weekend
together.

We used to hang out
after closing all the time.

You used to?

Before the package
entered the picture.

What's "the package"?

We think he was
her boyfriend.

She stopped hanging out,

Was always on her phone
during breaks,

Except out in the alley
instead of in the back

Where the rest of us
took calls.

It was like
some big secret.

When did that start?

A couple of months ago.

All she ever said about him
was "he's the total package."

We teased her a lot
about that.

And she never even
told you his name?

No. I just thought he was into
something illegal or married.

Do you think she was
with him the other night?

I really don't know.

But if he did do this,
I really hope you catch him.

[ keyboard clacking ]

Oh, man.
[ scoffs ]

I never got the appeal
of rhinestones on phones.

Nothing wrong
with a little bling.

Come on.

It looks like hello kitty
threw up on my little pony.

You were saying?

[ keyboard clacking ]

Is that your...?

[ mouse clicks ]

Well, in --

You know, in --
that bling is --

Is quite tasteful.

You know, in --
in this context,

I find that I am,
uh, pro-bling.

You're pro-bling?

Bring on the bling.

I could do your phone.

Would you?

[ chuckles ]

If your victim was taking calls
out in the alley,

They were either to her mom
or the cable company.

There are no mystery numbers
that point to a boyfriend.

What about
her hard drive?

I cross-referenced the pictures
on her phone and computer

With the friends
in her social-media network.

She's got a lot of friends,

But no one that looks like
our mystery man.

[ sighs ]

She was a lot less active online
the last six months,

Fewer posts.

If she did have
a new boyfriend --

She didn't want anybody
to know about it.

Come on, danni. Where
are you hiding this guy?

There are a few
password-protected files

On her hard drive
that I haven't cracked yet.

Any guesses?

Did she have a pet cat
or something?

People do that --
pet names?

Pets, their own birthdays,
and the ever-popular "password."

You're kidding.
Nope.

But I've tried
all of those.

Try "package."

[ computer beeps ]

Newspaper clippings.

Every one is on the plymouth
county murder trial.

Why the sudden fascination
with a creepy murder trial?

She did password-protect
the file

With her boyfriend's
nickname.

And the co-worker said
they met a few months ago.

That's when
the trial started.

Her boyfriend's gonna get her
wrapped up in this trial

And he's gonna kill her
the same way?

If that was his plan, it
would explain why he wanted her

To keep
their relationship secret.

It's a weird plan.

Murderers are weird.

Is it possible the prosecution
got the wrong guy

And danni was involved
with the real killer?

[ indistinct conversations ]

Vince!
What a surprise.

I'm meeting
angela for lunch.

Would you
like to join us?

Oh, thanks. I was
just leaving, actually.

Are you sure?

What do you think
of this place?

How do you mean?

Just in general.

What would you say about it
if someone asked your opinion?

Too many sprouts.

[ chuckles ]

Hi, vince.

We need to talk.

Oh, jane.

I didn't know
you were joining us.

I'm here under protest.

She's here
to back me up.

You have a problem,

And, fortunately,
I can help you.

I might have
accidentally told her

That you are meeting
jack's daughter tomorrow.

Why is that a problem?

It isn't, as long
as she likes you.

You have to
impress her.

Okay, so,
what do you suggest?

Practice talking about things
that interest young girls.

I can do that.

I can!

Okay, try me.

What are your thoughts about
"pretty little liars"?

I don't think it's good to lie
whether you're pretty or little.

Do you know who, uh,
lady antebellum is?

Is that a person?

How about lady gaga?

I am more familiar
with "lady and the tramp."

Okay, this is worse
than I thought.

Look, I took these
from my nail salon.

Get busy.

How is anyone supposed
to retain this?

Well, pretend that they're
all dead if you have to.

But if you want to
hit it off with allie,

Don't stop until you know

The difference between j. Lo,
cee lo, and l-m-f-a-o.

What?

Anything?

I've combed through every
website danni clicked on
in the last year.

Nothing unusual.

The only chat room she was in
was in a discussion

About making meringue.

It's a delicate process.

Mnh.

So, unless the boyfriend
was a pastry chef,

We have no idea
how she met him.

Or how he factored into
the plymouth county case.

No leads
from her parents?

No. They said she was
chronically single.

And we have
no other suspects,

So this boyfriend is
our guy, whoever he is.

I think
I got something.

We think
there's a connection

Between the boyfriend
and the case, right?

What we don't know is,

Did the boyfriend
spark her interest...

Or was she interested
in the case

And that's what led her
to the boyfriend?

Yeah. Either way, I figure
somebody who collected

Every article
about the case

Might have actually gone
down to the courthouse

And watched
the trial herself.

[ monitor beeps ]

So you pulled
security footage.

For the whole trial.
Look.

She's there every day.

She comes out at recess...

[ monitor beeps ]

...Sends out some texts,
and goes back inside.

She's always alone.

Nina, who is
she texting?

It's got to be
the boyfriend.

No record of texts matching
the time stamps on this footage.

'cause that's
not her phone.

The pink bedazzled --
that's right here.

This is just
a plain black phone.

Burner, maybe?

Yeah, that's why
we have no records --

She had a separate
phone for him.

We -- we got to see
what number she's texting.

[ keyboard clacking ]

[ monitor beeping ]

Okay, a reverse lookup
should give us a name.

[ monitor beeps ]

That can't be right.

Her boyfriend is
the plymouth county prosecutor.

Start from
the beginning, slowly.

Our dead girl...

Danni.

...Danni, who was killed
in the same way

As the plymouth county
victim,

Also happens to be
the girlfriend of the guy

Who prosecuted
the plymouth county case.

Okay.

Prosecutor is
paul wescourt.

Conviction
put him on the map.

He's been a rising star in
the d.A.'s office ever since.

He is also very married.

Okay.

You --

You keep saying "okay,"
and, to me, it seems...

Like the opposite
of "okay."

Well, I'm gonna ask a question
that I don't really want to ask.

Do we suspect him?

Well, we can't rule him out,
not until we talk to him.

I need to
caution you against

Jumping to conclusions
too early.

Okay.
I'm trying to protect

Our relationship with the
neighboring prosecutor's office.

Paul wescourt has
a sterling reputation

And is, by all accounts,
a good guy.

A good guy who
cheats on his wife.

We're investigating
a homicide here.

We're not blowing up
people's lives.

I know going easy
on a suspect

For political reasons
is not your style.

That's one way
to put it.

Hence my concern.

About your ability
to control your face.

I...

I have excellent
face control.

[ tommy clears throat ]

Even with lying,
cheating husbands.

Oh, yeah.

You're like buddha
on the lotus.

Shut up.

Traitor.

[ cellphone playing ringtone ]

[ gasps ]

Cool ringtone.

Are you talking?

I-I thought I recognized
that ringtone.

Is that katy perry?

No.

Oh.

I can see why she
thought that, though.

Yeah, it's kind of
like "roar," right?

[ horn honking ]

¶ goodbye to the tiger ¶

That's not
how it goes.

Oh, it isn't?

Forget it.

[ both sigh ]

Two cupcakes,
please.

[ gasps ]

Oh, girls, before
you leave, I --

Well, I'm doing
some field research,

And I was wondering
if you could tell me

How I could have made
a better impression on you.

What do you mean?

Well, you know,
just some tips, like,

Was I too pushy
or too forced?

Too close.

Oh.

And needy.
[ chuckles ]

Great feedback.

Thank you.

Oh, my gosh.

Thank you.
Hey, detectives.

Paul wescourt.

Mr. Wescourt.
Vince korsak.

Pleasure.

And you must be
detective rizzoli.

Yeah. Thanks for
coming down so quickly.

Not at all.

The grand jury will still
be there in the morning.

[ chuckles ]
what can I do for you?

Please sit down.

We need to talk to you about
danielle mitchell. It's --

It's not good news,
I'm afraid.

Well, I-is she okay?

She was found yesterday

In her apartment.

She was
strangled to death.

No. No, not danni.

No, there's go--
got to be a mistake.

[ chuckles ]

I'm sorry.

We need to ask you
about the nature --

Oh, my god.
[ breathes deeply ]

Oh, my god.

[ breathing heavily ]

Well...

I-I guess you know
that d-danni and I were...

Romantically involved.

When did it start?

Uh...
A few months ago.

Listen, y-you're --

You're gonna find
evidence at the autopsy

If you haven't already.

We were together --
what was it? --

T-two nights ago.

[ voice breaking ]
yeah, w-w-we were together.

Would you be willing
to submit a dna sample

So we can confirm that?

Of course.

Can you tell us what time
you left her apartment?

I-I wasn't
in her apartment.

Look, we realize this is
difficult for you, politically.

But the more truthful
you can be with us now,

The better this
whole thing will go.

I've never been there.

She -- she had neighbors
with -- with cameras.

We w-were careful.

Burner phone?

Yeah, and -- and meetings
were all pre-arranged,

And, um, we used to
meet at a hotel

Just around the corner
from where she lived.

She would
walk home afterward.

What time did she
leave the hotel?

Around 11:00.
[ sniffles ]

Yeah, I-I spent
the night there.

I-I went home in the morning.

We're gonna need
the name of that hotel.

There's no easy way
to ask this,

But could you...
Leave my wife out of it?

Sh-she didn't know
about danni.

She would be devastated.

Well, that seems
more on you than on us.

Yeah, you're right.
But I'm a public figure.

And...
She doesn't deserve this.

Please.

We'll keep it
quiet for now.

Thank you.

I-I-I could
use a minute.

Of course.

[ door closes ]

Well, he copped to
the affair right away.

I'll give him that.

He might be a cheater, but
he doesn't seem like a killer.

You say that 'cause
you want it to be true.

Well, if he did
kill our girl,

It'll be a mess
for our department,

The prosecutor's office,
in the press.

So, yes, I want him to be as
innocent as he claims to be.

I want to
check his alibi.

You're telling me
you don't have

A reservation list
or a guest log?

I'm not saying
we don't have one.

I'm saying that
some of our guests

Prefer not to be in it,
and we honor that.

What about
credit-card records?

We take credit cards,
but, again, some of
our guests prefer --

Pay cash. Yeah.
Security cameras?

They don't record.
[ chuckles ]

Right.

Do you recognize him?

No.

Would you tell me
if you did?

Look, my --
[ clears throat ]

My clients are
very private people.

My whole business
depends on my discretion.

What you call discretion

I call obstruction
of a criminal investigation.

Now, I need to know if this guy
stayed here two nights ago.

[ printer whirring ]

Security logs
license plates of guests

Parked in the garage
overnight.

It's the best I can do.

Better than nothing.

[ computer beeping ]

Looks like wescourt's car
was at the hotel

The night of the murder.

Well, that's
a good alibi, right?

For his car.
Why do people cheat?

I mean, I-is there some
sort of evolutionary reason?

Well, there is research
that links infidelity

To a variant in
dopamine receptor d4.

Some call it
the thrill-seeking gene.

So, cheating
is genetic?

The variant
is genetic,

But the behavior
can be modulated

By the individual, though
not in this case, apparently.

The semen was a match
to the dna swab

That paul wescourt
submitted.

Which we expected.

There's more.

Because the surfaces
were wiped,

Csru had to take extra-thorough
measures at the scene,

And they pulled the drain
stopper out of the shower.

Gross.

But worth it.

They recovered hair,
which I did a dna profile on.

Some of it was danni's.

Some of it was
wescourt's.

So, paul wescourt's hair
is in a shower drain

Of an apartment that he
claims to have never been in.

And the dna test
is conclusive.

Well, why would
he lie about this?

He told us the truth
about the affair.

Maybe he thought he'd covered
all of his tracks.

And if he is lying,

That brings everything
he's said into question.

How can we even know if their
relationship was consensual?

It's almost impossible
to prove forensically.

[ sighs ]

Not to mention
the previous case.

I mean, this guy could
have done both murders

And put away
an innocent man.

Well, it is possible that
the hair was carried in

On danni's body
and wound up

In the drain
when she showered.

It seems unlikely.
That's what I said,

Which is why I sent
csru back to the scene.

And this time,
they got a print.

Want to guess whose it is?

So, his mistress is dead,

His prints are at the scene,
and his alibi is paper-thin.

Did he think he would
just lie to our faces

And get away with it?

Let's go ask him,
shall we?

Yes, let's.

[ knock on door ]

Detectives.
What a surprise.

I thought we agreed
to discretion.

I thought you agreed
to tell us the truth.

Can we, uh,
talk somewhere else?

We found your dna
at the crime scene.

Would you like
to come with us?

Should we do
the whole perp-walk thing?

Hello.
[ exhales sharply ]

Mrs. Wescourt, hello.
I'm detective rizzoli.

This is sergeant korsak.

Boston homicide.

Sorry to barge in
on you like this.

Oh, it's no problem.
Would you like some coffee?

No, thank you.

We just need paul
to come with us.

Why? What happened?

It's nothing.
It's a mistake.

Would you like for us to
talk to your wife about
the details of the case?

Carol, please go in the other
room while I sort this out.

No. Somebody tell me what's
going on this instant.

Your husband is
under arrest.

For homicide?

Paul.
Listen to me.

Do not speak to anyone

Until you get
marty ackerman on the phone.

Do you understand?

Marty? You want me
to call our lawyer?

But you say only guilty
people get lawyers.

[ chuckles ] carol,
please, I'm innocent.

This is a mistake.
I'll make bail.

I'll be back by tonight.
Please, carol.

[ gasps ]

Korsak:
Paul wescourt,

You're under arrest for
the murder of danielle mitchell.

[ sighs ]
oh, my...

[ knock on door ]

Dr. Isles?

My friends
call me maura.

Come on in, allie.

Can I get you
anything?

Never autopsy on an empty
stomach, I always say.

[ chuckles ]

Uh, wow.

What do you
mean by that?

I mean...

This office is great.

I love tribal art...

Especially ritual masks
of west africa.

You do?

The idea that
when you put one on,

You conceptually lose
your human identity

And become the spirit
represented by the mask --

I mean, it's
the definition of cool.

[ sighs ]

You do not know how relieved
I am to hear you say that.

Um, why?

Oh, uh, well,
I was --

I was a little nervous
that maybe

We wouldn't have
anything in common

And you wouldn't enjoy
hanging out with me.

[ chuckles ]

You were
worried about that?

I tried on a few masks
of my own, in fact.

Oh, please.

But, you know, even though
I should know better.

It's -- it's always best
just to be yourself.

My mom says that.

I agree with her.

Easier said than done
sometimes.

Tell me about it.

It's really hard,
trying to fit in.

[ chuckles ]

That's part of the reason that
I spend my day with dead people.

Nice.

[ both laugh ]

[ door buzzes ]

B.P.D. Got a call
about an altercation

Involving
one of our suspects.

Do you know what happened?
Nope.

But if he's being held here,
technically, he's our suspect.

Ooh, isn't
he helpful?

You got visitors,
counselor.

You okay,
mr. Wescourt?

Yeah.

This man works
in the d.A.'s office.

He might as well have had
a target on his back.

It's all right.

Why wasn't he put in protective
custody in the first place?

Guess the way we see it,
you kill your girlfriend,

You don't get
special treatment.

I'm sorry about this.

Oh, it's the least
of my problems.

My lawyer has been
calling carol nonstop.

She...

She won't bail me out.
She won't talk to me.

She's probably
pretty confused.

And the phones in my office
go right to voicemail.

My staff
have jumped ship.

I'm alone.

Apparently,
my only friends are you two.

[ chuckles ]
put me in here.

Oh, hey, you put yourself
in here when you lied to us.

I didn't kill her.
I was set up.

By who? How?

I don't know!
[ groans, exhales sharply ]

All I know is
that I loved danni.

And whoever
did this to her

Is out there
while I'm in here.

Look who made bail.

[ sighs ]

[ indistinct shouting ]

Korsak: Guess the word is out.
It's a zoo out there.

Ah, the press is calling him
the "cutthroat lawyer,"

Which is
factually inaccurate.

Catchy, though.

I-I think we're gonna need
to put up a barricade.

Better do it quick.

Yeah.

Nice job
on the bruises.

A lady in processing
took pity on me

And loaned me
some concealer.

Well,
I hope it holds up.

You got a lot of
press out there.

[ sighs ]
poor carol.

[ scoffs ] you should have
thought about that before.

Let me ask you something.

Are you as convinced of my guilt
as I am of my innocence?

It's not about
my certainty.

It's about evidence,
and it's about facts,

Like the fact
that you lied

About being in
danni's apartment.

I know how it looks.

But I also know
that I am innocent.

[ door opens ]

[ indistinct shouting ]
hey...

Hey! Ho! Ho! Hey!

Get back!

Man: Mr. Wescourt!
Woman: There he is!

Did you kill her? Can you tell
us where you were that night?

[ indistinct shouting ]

Was she your girlfriend?

Can we get a statement?
We just want to ask...

All right, come on.

You can go through
the morgue loading docks.

Are you sure?

Yes. Come on.

[ elevator button clicks ]

[ elevator bell dings ]

[ elevator doors close,
elevator whirring ]

All right, what was
danni's favorite color?

Uh...

Sage.

Sage?

She liked to look
at the pottery barn catalog.

There's a lot of
sage in there.

What was her
favorite food?
Samosas.

Least-favorite food?

Shrimp. Okay?

Sorry.

It wasn't a fling.

I loved her.

Well, then, why not
just leave your wife?

I was trying to do
the right thing for everyone.

Oh, I-I know how
that sounds.

I just couldn't figure out
an easy way to end things.

Maybe there is
no easy way.

Maybe love always ends with
someone getting hurt.

God, I hope not.

[ elevator bell dings ]

Me, too.
For your sake, anyway.

You still here?

[ sighs ] he really
loved her, vince.

Wouldn't be the first man
to kill someone he loved.

And we don't have motive.

He's a married man
with a high-profile job.

Motive was probably
what it always is --

He wanted out,
she threatened to expose him.

But she never even spoke
his name to her friends.

And she encrypted files
with articles about his case.

She wasn't trying to expose him.
She was protecting him.

And look.

He's got a trip to hawaii for
a legal conference next month.

Three days
at the hyatt.

Mm-hmm, but the plane ticket
is for a week.

Where's he staying
the rest of the time?

Check out her
credit-card records.

So that's who she was
going on vacation with.

But why book
a romantic getaway

With a mistress
you're planning to kill?

To make it look like you're
not planning to kill her.

[ sighs ] okay,
say that's true.

Why kill her this way,

I mean,
in the exact manner

Of a case he just
tried and won?

I mean, if he wanted
to get rid of her that badly,

Just shoot her or push her
off a cliff or something.

Well, maybe he's a sociopath
who wanted to get caught.

It just
doesn't feel right.

He lied about being
in the apartment.

His alibi is
full of holes.

His prints were
at the crime scene.

It's a lot of evidence.

It's just...
Too perfect.

I know what the evidence says.
I know what my gut says.

What's that?

Reasonable doubt.

Nina: This is the area between
danni's apartment and the hotel.

It's like a mile.

9/10 of a mile, to be exact.
Take about 12 minutes to walk.

So he easily could
have parked in the lot,

Walked to danni's apartment,
killed her,

And headed back to the hotel
to stay overnight.

Nobody wants your gut
to be right more than I do,

But no matter how many times
we go over it,

He still looks guilty.

All right, well,
what about the hair?

Can csru tell us exactly
how much they found?

We can't say exactly how much
washed away before we got to it,

But that it was
there at all...

He still looks guilty.

There's also
the fingerprint.

That's where
you got the print?

It was on the underside
of the handle,

Which is why they missed it
in the first sweep,

But it's a complete print.

Also an exact match.

Can you blow that up?

[ keyboard clacking ]

[ monitor beeps ]

We need to get back in
that apartment.

Hey.

Guess who, according to
a reliable source,

Is the definition of cool?

Did you
give allie lipstick?

What?

Her mother said something about
her coming home with makeup on.

Well, allie mentioned
that a lot of girls in school

Have started
wearing makeup.

Which her mother
doesn't allow.

She mentioned that,
and, um,

I said that I agree
with that rule.

But she is feeling
the pressure just to fit in.

So you gave her lipstick.

Lip gloss.
Just a little.

And I suggested
that she try it on

As a way to broach
the subject with you.

But if I've overstepped
my boundaries --

What was that for?

For a week, I've known
something was bugging her,

And she wouldn't talk to me.

It has been killing me,
not knowing what's going on.

It's hard to talk about.

I remember being
the odd man out.

Mm, I don't believe that.
Well, believe it.

I was -- I think the technical
term is "weird."

[ chuckles ]
I kind of like weird.

You're not wearing the lip gloss
you gave my daughter, are you?

No.

'cause that would be
a different kind of weird.

[ chuckling ] yeah.

[ laughs ]
I kind of ruined it.

Just a little bit.

Okay. Okay, go.

Okay.

[ sighs ]

Reverse-thread nuts
are always tricky.

If you turn the wrench
the wrong direction,

You can crack
the porcelain.

Sometimes I forget
you're a plumber's daughter.

[ metal scraping ]

You know, I never thought
I'd say this, but...

Thank you, pop.

This handle does not belong
with that toilet.

They're
two different brands.

Maybe the landlord
replaced it.

Yeah,
but the newer handles

Are usually plastic
or stainless steel.

This one's brass.
Look.

Hmm. Nice.

A little too nice for a landlord
to spend money on.

What if that handle
was somewhere else

When paul wescourt
touched it?

Wouldn't take
more than a wrench

For someone
to relocate it here.

The print was planted.

[ sighs ]

I'll talk to the super, verify
he didn't replace this handle.

If you're right --

I am. And so was
paul wescourt.

He was set up.

We have new evidence
in your husband's favor.

Can you tell us
where he is?

You don't know?

I assumed that's
why you're here.

The police are out
looking for him right now.

What do you mean,
the police?

How can you not know?
This is all your fault!

Slow down.
Tell us what happened.

I haven't seen him
since you arrested him.

He just keeps leaving
voicemail messages.

He's out of his mind.

All right, all right.

What is he saying
in the messages?

[ voice breaking ]
he's saying that -- that I --

That I don't deserve this,
that he -- that he failed me.

I-I called the police
after this one.

Paul: This is the last time
you'll hear from me.

You'll be better off
if I put an end to this.

[ keypad beeps ]

[ crying ]
h-he's gonna kill himself.

Not if we can
find him first.

[ exhales sharply ]

Maura, the suicides that
come through your office --

Can you figure out
how and where they occur?

Most of them.

Okay, can you use that
information to figure out

A place where someone
like wescourt might try it?

Well, it's not
a straightforward formula.

Was he on medications?

Did he have a history
of depression?

The woman he loves is dead.
His marriage is over.

His career is ruined.

I think it's pretty safe to say
the guy's depressed.

Okay, I amplified
the ambient noises

From the messages
he left.

So far, I've got what
I think is a jet engine.

[ computer beeps ]

Paul:
I'm not gonna drag you through

The humiliation of a trial.

It's time I put an end to this.

[ jet engine humming ]

He's by an airport.

I-I wish I could
be a better man.

You deserve that.

[ rapid popping ]

That sounds like
gunfire to me.

Gunfire
and jet engines.

I just want you to know
how sorry I am.

What is that?

This is all my fault.
This is what I deserve.

[ indistinct clanging ]

What is that?

Could be car tires on steel
grating, maybe a bridge.

[ keyboard clacking ]

There's a firing range
on moon island.

The narrows bridge
leads straight to it.

[ computer beeps ]

And it's adjacent to
the flight path at logan.

Remote bridge -- it's
a perfect spot for a suicide.

You're not going alone.

Well, korsak and frankie
are at the courthouse.

Then it's you and me.

That's his car.

Maura, stay here.
I don't want to spook him.

Jane --
no, I know this guy well enough
to know he's not bluffing.

Be careful.

Paul?

Paul?

Listen to me, okay?

You're wasting your time.

No, just --
just listen.

I know you were set up.
And we can prove it.

[ breathing heavily ]
so?

[ sighs ] please w--
wait. Wait. Wait.

Okay, listen.

I-I know that we said
that there's no easy way

To end things, but y--

You can't do this, okay?
You can't quit like this.

I ruined my marriage.
[ breathing heavily ]

Danni's gone.

My life's over.

No. No, it isn't.
Okay, j-- [ sighs ]

Just...Hang on
a second, okay?

Let me come down there.

Oh, jane, don't.

I'll stay over
here, all right?

We'll -- we'll -- we'll
just talk from here.

Okay?

I'm not -- I'm not moving
any f-- any further, all right?

[ sighs ]

I know that you think
that your life is over,

And -- and -- and maybe I can't
change your mind on that,

But just --
please, for one second --

Please, will you just
think about danielle?

Danni.

I know you
didn't kill her.

Okay? I -- [ sighs ]

I-I think you loved her
more than anything.

And I think that's why
you -- you were so conflicted

About what to do.

And that's why you cannot
let whoever did this to her

Get away with it, okay?

Come on.

Paul, you said it yourself --
her killer is still out there.

Look, I...

[ breathes deeply ] mnh.

I ca-- I can't
bring danni back.

Okay? And -- and --
[ breathing heavily ]

I can't -- I can't give you
any more nights

Flipping through catalogues
and -- and -- and indian food.

But -- but I can bring
her killer to justice.

I can do that.

Okay? Please --
please h-help me do that.

Doesn't she deserve that?

Come on.

[ breathing heavily ]

[ gasps ]

No!

Jane!

Jane!

Jane!

Jane!

Jane!
