Wisp (2013–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Alibis and Enemies - full transcript

The Tourist strikes again, but this time Lincoln is called in for questioning and discovers this most recent attack is personal. Now Gray wants Lincoln off the case and already has a replacement in mind.

Previously, On WISP

The road for us...

Was rocky from the start

It's late Linc

Yeah, well Grey had me working
another crime scene

Is that all she's working?

We've got to warn the public

As far as uhm...

Anyone is concerned...

This is not a serial killer

What's on your mind?



You

You're all I think about
anymore

And catch the guy yourself?

Yeah, right.

You put me in front of those
people!

(Where you going?)

I'm going downtown

Well I'm going downtown. Why
don't you come with me?

He dumped the garbage

Put her body on it like it was a
bed... but why?

I think it's pretty safe to say,
he wanted us to find her

Lincoln...

I've met somebody

You've got to give me a chance



You've got to sit and talk with
me for a minute

So that must make me sound like
a pretty pathetic mom, huh?

I'm not gonna lie

It doesn't make you sound like a
wonderful parent, but...

Well, the train should be here
soon so.

We'll be together soon

(Moaning and Struggling)

Hey. (Slap)

I'm gonna take your gag off

You can scream as much as you
want

We didn't come out into the
middle of nowhere for nothing

(Cough)

Let's see who you are...

Mmmm. Katherine Frost.

Hey...

Are you related to Lincoln
Frost?

He's my husband

(Evil Laugh)

You probably know exactly how
screwed you are then

(Scream)

Oh, look at that... I love it

He probably called you his
little honey bee, didn't he?

Didn't he? (Crying)

Don't worry...

You won't feel much

(Louder Crying)

Or maybe, you'll feel it all.

(Evil Laughing)

You're watching WISP on
MaddyGTV

(Phone Rings)

Leutenant Frost

Linc, have you watched the news
this morning?

Uh, no.

I prefer to read my news

Don't.

What's up?

Grey's asked me to call you to
come in.

Well I was planning on it, a
little later

She hasn't told the press that
I've been fired, has she?

Linc... (That would be a breach
of protical)

Linc... (And that will not
stand)

Stop whatever you're doing...
and come in.

You're starting to scare me now

There's been another body

I'm on my way

Uhm, excuse me?

Do you know when the next
passenger train is coming in?

Oh honey, you missed the last
one of the night a half hour
ago.

Are you sure?

Positive. That was it for the
night

So sorry for you though.

Have a good night.

Take it easy...

You got another one, huh?

I am surprised that you came.

Brent called me. I mean...

What else would I be doing?

Where were you three nights
ago?

Three nights? Oh, that was the
night before that lousy press
conference

(I was home)

Drowning my sorrows in a case of
beer because this job robbed me
of my wife

What the hell is going on here?

Do you have an alibi?

Alibi?

(What do I need an alibi for?)

What are you talking about?

We found her body.

Who's body?

Katherine's.

Katherine's?

My Katherine's?

(Where was she seen last?)

At the train station

I think we should release her
identity to the press

So you can...

Drum up a little sympathy for
the department, I suppose

I just want them to understand

Why you are going to be replaced
on this case.

Hum.

Do you realize how much it would
take

To bring someone else up to
speed on all of this?

You can't be part of this
investigation

And who did you have in mind?

Matheson.

(Matheson?)

He can't find matching socks

Do you have any suggestions?

No

Not now.

Train Station.

Did you say Train Station?

Yeah. Her luggage was found
there.

Well

Again...

Mass transit. Airport. Train
Station.

Bus stop. Bus Station.

The killer?

Yeah.

Her last phone call was to
someone...

Theodore Jacobs?

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Theodore...

He's her lover.

And she also called a cab.

(Heavy Sigh)

Hummm.

He was waiting

(For anyone...)

It just happened to be her

The wrong place, at the wrong
time

Are you okay? Do you want a
glass of water or anything?

No I don't need anything.

Stop trying to be my friend.

I do not respect you.

Because I am a woman?

No.

Because you are who you are.

So, what do you want Lincoln?

I need Brent

I need Brent to take over for
awhile

He's not even a Detective.

Doesn't matter. He's far more
qualified than that Matheson.

But of course you wouldn't know.

(Because Brent doesn't come
snooping around your desk)

Trying to catch peeks at you

(That's why you don't know how
good he is)

Okay. If he passes the test - I
will assign him.

Yeah, right.

So....

The killer?

Yeah.

He's out there.

He's on the move.

Like a homicidal tourist

Do you think he knew that she
was your wife?

No.

He wouldn't have known

But what I want to know...

Is why she left that station

Without getting on a train

I'm Kelly Douglass with another
Channel 2 Exclusive

Channel 2 News has just learned
that the body of Katherine
Frost

Wife of Erie Detective Lincoln
Frost

Has just been discovered

While an autopsy has been
ordered, sources close the
investigation have told Channel
2 News

That the cause of death is a
homicide

Which match characteristics
consistant with the Tourist
killings

Detective frost is the lead
investigator in this Tourist
case.

Which has recently come under
public scrutiny

As the investigation has yet to
produce a suspect

With the body count rising, many
are demanding Frost resign from
the case

With today's heartbreaking
discovery, the choice may not be
his.

I'm Kelly Douglass. Stay tuned
to Channel 2 for up to the
minute reports

(Ticking Clock)

I can't imagine what kept her
there

And I can't imagine...

How he got her

Out of the station

And into his van

It makes no sense to me

And we could speculate on that
from here to eternity, couldn't
we?

I probably will

It's just who I am

She was angry

Very angry with me at the end

Disappointed, in what we'd
become

But for me...

I looked forward to seeing her
at the end of every day

(She meant everything to me)

Even though the job seemed
like,

Seemed like to her...

It was all I thought about

Funny how love can be so one
sided.

Yes. And... the fact that this
is still really fresh for you.

(It was only three weeks ago
Lincoln.)

And as you know, time will heal
all wounds

Eventually

It's not gonna change what
happened

No, but you can change the way
you deal with it

I don't sleep

All I do is think

Think

About her

Over and over

And that's what the meds are
for.

They make me feel dull

And they will, okay?

But, it's going to take time for
you to find that balance.

Balance?

What the hell is balance?

(Knocking)

Can I help you?

Why yes you can.

Have you accepted Jesus Christ
as your Lord and Savior?

There is no God

I'm sorry you feel that way

You're watching WISP on
MaddyGTV

Now back to WISP on MaddyGTV

(Do you have to?)

You realize how this is supposed
to work, don't you?

As per your agreement.

We talk. And I determine whether
your a danger to society or
not.

And you realize

That most of this horse manure
could have been avoided

If I received the support I
needed from the very start

And that's neither here nor
there, is it?

I mean, they're not going to
punish the people you want
punished Lincoln.

I know that

And I know that's why they made
me their whipping boy

Okay. That you can clarify

They're not interested in
clarification

Alright, what are they
interested in?

Covering their asses

It's what they do best

You know, back in the day

President Harry Truman had a
sign on his desk

It read "The buck stops here"

(Do you know what that meant?)

That meant that he took full
responsibility

For everything that happened

Regardless of whether he had
prior knowledge or not

(There's nobody to pass the buck
to)

He refused

To let those beneath him

Take sole responsibility for
their actions as well

(That's huge)

They don't make men like that
anymore

Today...

Everybody wants their piece

And their not willing to do the
work

And that includes you?

I do my share of the work

And then some

I just...

I just was never the top of the
totum poll

And Grey was?

In that tiny town? You bet your
ass she was.

(But the problem with Grey)

It's not that was a woman

It's that she used the
Department

As her personal dating service

(And that meant doing favors for
the guys she liked)

We wouldn't be sitting here
talking about this

If she would have listened to
me

And put Brent in charge of the
case.

Okay, so now I see

YOU thought that Brent should be
the lead investigator

Absolutely

Brent's a born Detective

(But Grey couldn't see it)

She couldn't see it, just
because Brent prefers Men

Let's put it this way

If she was a guy, and he was a
lesbian

(This wouldn't even be news)

(This would just be another
case)

Of a power hungry, sexist
boss...

Using his position

To pump up his libido

Okay then.

What you're saying is Grey was
at the end of the story.

Where's the beginning?

wrong place at the wrong time
