iZombie (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Brother, Can You Spare a Brain? - full transcript
Liv and Clive work together to solve the mysterious death of a well known painter.
My name is liv moore,
and i died, sort of.
I had a promising career
and a great fiance.
Then i went to the world's
worst boat party
and got turned into a zombie.
Now i work at the morgue
for access to brains,
But brain eating
has side effects.
I take on the victim's
personality traits
And have visions which i use
to help solve their murders.
I work with a detective
who thinks i'm a psychic
And my boss,
the medical examiner,
The only person
who knows my secret.
I'm a crime-fighting zombie.
Previously on izombie...
Are you sure about
being the only one?
It's one of the things
that keeps me up at night.
That zombie,
haunting my dreams,
He's out there.
I'm saying it would be nice
if just once he would call.
You know how he is
when he's working.
No sense of time.
Javier?
You missed a great dinner.
(screaming)
Lola!
(lola sobbing)
(theme song playing)
Cause of death...
I assume we're going
with drowning, correct?
So, he was
a well-known artist?
Javier abano?
Oh, his paintings
are very popular.
Who doesn't love
A vibrant, abstract nude?
Hint, she eats brains.
It looks like he was just
trying to show off
How many different colors
of paint he owned.
Oh, i love his work.
I particularly enjoy the one
That looks like
a bright blue jacksy.
But i like my art provocative
with a tinge of whimsy.
-Okay, that's enough for now.
Okay, detective?
-(lola sobbing)
Ravi: Also, blue is
my favorite color.
And i'm a bit of an arse man.
Overshare, right?
Got anything for me?
Well...
Based on the stiffness
of the jaw and neck,
I'd put the time of death
between 6:00 and 7:00 p.M.
No defense wounds.
No physical signs of struggle.
It's a straight shot
from the orbital cavity
To the carotid artery so death
was likely instantaneous.
Like pushing an off button.
Well, stabbing
an off button
That's located
behind someone's eye,
Using the handle
of a paintbrush.
I'll know more when i get him
back to the morgue.
And what about you?
Anything you'd like to share?
Is the crime scene inspiring,
you know, any
otherworldly communications
Or conjurings
or what have you?
Wow. You're really a flip
to the last page of the book
Type guy, huh?
You've been detecting
for five minutes.
Oh, i know who did it.
It's the wife.
You think it was that
sobbing woman
Crumbling
to pieces on the patio?
She has an alibi,
but it's always the wife.
Unless the wife
is the dead one.
Then it's the husband.
I was just hoping something
sparked your sixth sense,
So we can expedite things.
Sorry. No sparking.
Detective,
We're going to have to remove
the paint brush in order
to get him in the bag, so...
I got it.
I'll check back in later.
This fake psychic thing
Is going to bite me
in the ass when he starts
asking me for lottery numbers.
Fresh brains, anyone?
Liv: My need to feed
on brains is weird,
But how many people can say
that satisfying their munchies
Could potentially help
solve a murder case?
This is my contribution
to society.
Better?
Much.
I'm just a fake, psychic
zombie trying to do her part.
(doorbell rings)
I was going to rename this
"major's excuse to come over,"
But i'm trying to maintain
an air of mystery.
No, but seriously,
i figured after six months
You were probably
really missing
your tiny face-sander thing
And that magnifying
mirror that makes pores
look like manholes.
Thanks for leaving
that behind, by the way.
You didn't need to do this.
No, it's mostly just
hair products and lingerie,
But there's some books.
Oh, and this...
Which might
explain some things.
I'm thinking maybe this
calls for a road trip.
I'm just, i'm just kidding
around, liv.
I know.
Yeah, well, i didn't know
what to do with this stuff.
It felt weird to throw it out.
I mean, what if you had
an emotional attachment
To this textbook
on rare skin diseases?
Well, thanks
for bringing it by.
"not zooey deschanel" in 7b
took my parking spot again.
There is nothing more
annoying than an entitled
chick in a skater dress.
Oh, hi. Hey.
Should i not be here?
No, i, uh,
i was just heading out.
I, uh, i also have
an entire closet full
of engagement gifts,
So just let me know
if you want anything,
Other than the panini
press which i have already
used and broken,
And re-purchased.
Oh, we'll take the juicer.
I'll, uh, i'll drop it off
this week.
Wait, didn't you register
for a nespresso machine?
I can't believe
you just asked major for
our engagement juicer.
Like letting him keep
the small appliances
is going to change
The fact that you
broke his heart.
He probably
shouldn't come by here.
Why? Because it's too hard?
What does that tell you?
(gasps)
Want to grab a bite?
Liv: What's more meta
than a zombie having
a bad zombie dream?
No luck in my search for
mystery zombie number two.
Unless you
count my nightmares.
I've searched instagram
accounts of survivors,
I've been through all the
photos on the facebook
pages of everyone
Who was listed
as being at the party.
Maybe you should take a break.
You know, chill out.
Clear your mind.
Here.
"hotter sex tonight.
Five easy steps."
I stole it from
the dentist's office.
Liv: Unless step one is
"forget that you might turn
your loved one into a zombie
and just have at it,"
This is not
the article for me.
It's why i can't have the man
I planned on spending
my life with
Doing drop-bys.
It hurts too much.
(javier speaking spanish)
(breathing heavily)
Oh, god.
(javier speaking spanish)
(door closing)
(gasps)
Someone's here.
(exhales)
Is that shock at sex tip four?
'cause i didn't
understand it either.
Javier was having an affair.
It was pretty hot.
Clive: So during this vision,
Did javier happen
to call out the girl's name?
No. He just called her
his sugar flower,
Or his honey goddess.
Both sound better in spanish.
She mostly talked about god.
And you didn't see
who walked in on them?
No, but it was at the loft
Because i recognized the
chaise in javier's work space.
They were on top of it.
At one point, she suddenly
arched her back,
Like some higher power
was pulling her chest
towards the heavens.
Her skin was like butter,
And the way she moved...
Okay, i think i get it.
It was like watching
a flower bloom.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Arching, blooming,
Then someone came in
that you didn't see,
But was probably lola.
I didn't say that.
No. You gave me
fifty shades of psychic
And no vital details.
Look, he was having an affair.
His wife caught him.
Like i said,
it's always the spouse.
I'm going to head over
and question her again.
You feel like joining me?
Maybe you'll have
another vision.
Hopefully one that's less
late-night premium cable.
She's a bit more
calm right now, but...
It's going to be a long road.
Lola,
Detective babineaux is here.
I'm going to take off.
You call me
if you need anything.
That's sugar flower.
From my vision.
With the buttery skin.
Sorry to interrupt you,
mrs. Abano.
I had a few more questions.
Of course.
And it's lola, please.
And this is
my dear friend tasha.
She's my favorite
of all of javier's lovers.
Lola: Artie and i wound up
eating without javier all the
time when he was working.
He'd just get lost painting,
Or not want to stop
if it was going well.
He was at the mercy
of his creative flow.
Sounds like you were
at the mercy of it as well.
I never minded.
I just wanted him to
feel free to do whatever
he needed to do.
I respected his process.
The other women,
were they a part
of his process?
(chuckles)
Asking javier to sleep
with one woman
for the rest of his life
Would be like
Asking him to paint
those little seascapes
on the novelty spoons
They sell at the pier.
He had a way of, like,
discovering people,
And then sort of revealing
them to themselves.
That is really beautiful.
Seriously, he sounds amazing.
Lola: The other women
were not an issue.
I knew who javier was with
And what he was getting
out of the relationship.
He knew all
about my dalliances.
Nobody got hurt.
It's not like we had
children to worry about.
Javier never wanted any.
His paintings were his babies.
Yeah, right. So,
It didn't bother you
that his babies
Were nude paintings of the
women he was sleeping with?
No.
It bothers me
that you're being dismissive
About my husband's art
and our marriage.
Monogamy was not
important to us.
What javier and i had
was beyond the physical.
How is it incriminating
to say she didn't care
who he slept with?
Uh, she cared.
That's just
something they say.
Of course, i might've
been paying closer
attention than you.
You seemed
a little distracted.
-(cell phone vibrating)
-plus, it's always the spouse.
Huh.
What?
An e-mail from your boss.
The paintbrush/murder weapon
Was thrust into
mr. Abano's eye socket
At an angle consistent
with a right-handed killer
who was 6'2" or 6'3".
Does that mean javier
had two wives?
Because lola is around
my height, right?
So, if it's always the spouse,
Maybe it was wife number two
that's the tall one.
Wait!
I'm being totally serious now.
If you find a pair of
foot-high stilettos
in lola's closet,
Can you ask her
where she got them?
Liv, you're here. Fantastic.
This is jimmy.
He is a police sketch artist.
I happened to run into him
at the commissary,
And we got to talking and...
Well, i mentioned your
issue trying to locate
A certain blonde gentleman.
I had a pretty substantial
missed connection
myself back in '05.
(sighs)
I'd be married today if those
subway doors didn't close
Before i could get her number.
Huh.
Okay.
So, any defining features?
His lips were thin,
But there
was substance to them.
They kind of grew
from his mouth,
Like a secret
he couldn't keep.
So, thin lips...
Liv: But expressive.
In that they seemed
to be working
At not expressing anything.
Mmm-hmm.
There was something
historic about his chin.
I think the nose needs
to be more alert.
I thought you said
it was soft and gradual,
Like a sand hill.
But with an alertness.
Like the whole bridge
is working towards
Getting down to the point.
You need to
see the foundation.
Oh. The foundation.
Got it. Great. (clears throat)
Okay.
See you later.
Am i right in assuming
this is a new skill?
You said you were with
lola at the orchard restaurant
from 6:00 p.M. To 9:30 p.M.,
When you walked her
back to the loft
and discovered javier.
Mmm-hmm.
Three and a half hours is
a pretty long time for dinner.
Not really. (chuckles)
We spent a big chunk
of the time waiting
for javier to show.
I'm not just
javier's art dealer.
We have all been friends
for years.
And how close
are you and lola?
Very close.
She's one of
my dearest friends.
Hmm.
Nothing more than that.
Not ever.
She's totally devoted
to javier.
Yeah, she did mention
having
Dalliances
outside of the marriage.
Dalliances?
With whom?
She didn't give any names.
Sorry, i'm having trouble
processing that.
Javier was
her entire universe.
Lola loved him
unconditionally,
While javier slept with
every model in seattle.
You don't sound
like a very big fan
of your client.
Oh, i was a huge fan.
Some of the best times of
my life were with javier.
He was a brilliant artist.
Not a great husband.
How tall are you, mr. Fiss?
You know, instead of
grilling his friend,
Maybe take a look
at one of the countless
jilted boyfriends
Of the girls javier
slept with.
Thanks for the tip.
Now, are you going to
answer my question
Or do i need
to go get a ruler?
I'm 6'2".
Thank you.
In elementary school,
I could barely trace my hand
to draw a turkey.
Well, when you finish,
i'll send it out to
the boat massacre survivors.
You know, maybe
someone will recognize him.
Why do we own this?
Because we saw it
in the check-out line
At home, hearth
and everything else
And it had the same color blue
as our pillows.
It's horrible.
Since when did you become
an art critic?
The one and only time
we've ever gone
to a museum together
Was on our senior
trip to paris
When we race-walked
through the louvre
Because it was raining
and we wanted
to do some cardio.
That's so awful.
No, it wasn't awful.
It was fun.
Liv: In the six months
i've been eating brains,
I've inherited things like
A fear of pigeons,
kleptomania...
A couple scoops of
javier's brain in a
microwave pizza roll
And i find myself
feeling passionate,
Inspired.
I'm not just drawn to beauty,
I want to possess it,
make love to it.
I walk into a room
and i see everything.
Heard you were looking for me.
Just so we're on
the same page here...
Your skin and hair
being the color of chalk,
That isn't
a style choice, right?
It isn't.
Oh.
And i have no idea
where you got this,
But it's totally
my new profile pic.
So.
What do you want with me?
I wanted to meet you.
Because?
Because i had a vision
of you as a zombie,
Chasing a man
through an alley.
You were about to
rip open his skull.
He was killed in a dui
accident, wound up here.
I ate his brain.
Until the vision, i thought
i was the only one.
Yeah, until, like,
three seconds ago, so did i.
Getting your brains on
the job. That's well-played.
Well, how do you
get your brains?
Oh, i get mine the hardest
way possible.
I grave-rob.
Super fun.
I should have gone
into medicine.
I mean, come on.
Look at this.
Oh, uh...
That guy you saw me
chase in the vision?
He tried to mug me,
just so you know.
He came at me, so i raged out
or whatever.
What are you calling that,
by the way?
The big turn?
It's not like i've been
mentioning it in conversation,
But i think of it
as raging out.
I don't know if
we should agree on
some terminology, or...
I guess i call it
zombie mode.
Really? Aren't we already
kind of in zombie mode?
Well, actually, i call it
full-on zombie mode.
Huh.
So, is raging out at all
interesting to you, or...
You know what, never mind.
It doesn't matter.
Uh, the guy tried to mug me,
and i went into
full-on zombie mode
And, yeah...
Before i knew it,
sirens were blaring
And i'm still about to crack
this guy's head open for just
the tiniest taste of brain,
Which is the single
most disgusting thing
a person can eat.
That it is.
It's the consistency
that kills me.
I can't get around it.
And there's that
weird metallic taste.
Is it metallic?
I don't even know.
I used to be
a serious wine guy.
Like, sideways crazy about it.
And now everything
i drink is like iodine.
I saw a kid eating
a peanut butter cup last week
And i almost cried.
I miss food so much.
I miss so many things.
Who knew death would be
this isolating, right?
You really nailed
the historic chin.
Bravo.
Thrilled to have you here.
And if you haven't
used the facilities yet,
A urine sample
would be lovely.
I have zero clue as to how
this happened to me.
Granted i was super high
the night of the boat party.
It is so crazy to be
talking about this.
Would you mind if i check
inside your ears?
Brother, you do
what you gotta to do.
I'll drop trou if you think
you can cure this.
So how did you
become a zombie?
Did it happen the night
of the boat party?
Yes. It happened
at the boat party.
You tried to sell me utopium,
smacked my ass,
And went all rage zombie
and clawed my forearm.
No, seriously?
Oh, my god.
I can't even...
-Are you sure it was me?
-Yes.
Because things must've
been pretty crazy that night.
I'm sure.
How do i even apologize
for something like that?
I swear to god, if i wasn't
95% sure i would survive,
I would throw myself
off a bridge right now.
I would be...
I'm so sorry.
I never meant to hurt you.
Javier: Calm down, now.
We're all adults here.
Now i've ruined
something you love.
Did you just...
Where'd you go?
There's something
i gotta take care of.
You should get going.
Oh, liv, i can finish up.
Ah!
She doesn't want to
leave you alone with me.
Fair enough.
(clears throat)
Excuse me.
I'm not sure
that was necessary.
Neither am i.
It wasn't lola who
caught javier and tasha
fooling around.
It was tasha's
jealous boyfriend.
A jealous boyfriend, huh?
Artie may have been
trying to deflect attention
away from himself,
But it's a lead
worth following up.
Liv: There he is. Tasha's ex.
The one with the
gleaming crystal eyes
And the mouth that
looks like it just
finished eating a peach.
How about you just
tell me what color
shirt he's wearing?
Cerulean.
What were you doing
on tuesday between the
hours of 6:00 and 7:00?
I was at home. Alone.
How did that happen?
How tall are you, mr. Rivera?
I'm 6'3".
When did you first
learn about...
Can i just ask a question?
Do you have a little
native american
in your ancestry
'cause those cheekbones...
Miss moore!
Oh. Sorry.
I'm a quarter cherokee.
Yeah, you are.
Do i need to ask you to leave?
When did you first
learn about your
girlfriend and javier?
Ex-girlfriend.
And i don't remember.
You don't remember
discovering your girlfriend
cheating on you?
I don't like
to dwell on things.
Besides, she got
what was coming to her.
Javier dumped her
a few months ago
for a younger version.
That's the kind of guy
she left me for.
Someone who'll bang
his best friend's
18-year-old daughter.
Artie?
His manager's daughter?
Yeah. Becca.
It's a not-too-well-kept
secret around
the art community.
But you didn't
hear it from me.
You gotta let me
buy you a drink.
I need something
in the win column today.
I think you need to set
the bar a little bit higher.
Buying somebody a drink
doesn't seem like much
of an accomplishment.
That depends on how many
guys you turned down
before i got here.
So... (clears throat)
What brings you
here to drink alone
And stare off into
the top-shelf liquor
on this fine evening?
Let's just say life takes
some surprising turns.
Doesn't it, though?
If someone were
to tell me a year ago
That my life would
be like it is today,
I would've punched
him in the face.
Listen,
You're incredibly charming,
But the age difference
isn't something i'm into.
(clears throat)
Well, that is a shame.
Because i am lonely as hell
and the idea of trying
To have a conversation
with some 25-year-old
As she swipes
through tinder,
Makes me want to impale
myself on that bar tap.
Well, there's no reason
why we can't have a nice chat.
Sure there is.
(knocking on door)
Come on in.
(jazz music playing on stereo)
Um...
Hey, pod person who's
taken over liv's body,
You really should've
done some homework
Because no one
is going to buy this.
Hey.
Sorry. I was kind of
in the zone or something.
Hi.
Hi.
I would literally be
less surprised to come in here
And find you building
a rocket ship.
It's a new hobby.
This coming
from the girl who said
Hobbies were for people
under 12 or over 65.
When did i say that?
Repeatedly. Over the course
of several years.
But i think you were just
trying to talk me out of
Making my own
outdoor furniture,
Which i still think
i'd be kind of awesome at.
And, i'm sorry, are you
listening to chet baker?
Is that who this is?
I am loving him.
You're what?
I tried to get you to listen
to jazz for years.
I spent weeks
strategically arranging the
perfect mix cd for you
And you stopped listening
after two songs.
I think this is the cd.
You said you thought the lack
of structure was narcissistic
And you'd rather listen
to someone dropping cutlery.
Why was i such a jerk?
Who knows? (sighs)
It was just one of the many
things i accepted
Because you're super-hot.
I'm kidding,
To a degree.
If you're really
liking this cd,
I have a bunch
of stuff on vinyl
i could record for you.
I'd love that.
You're amazing.
I should get going.
I was just dropping
off the juicer.
There but for the
grace of god, right?
Missed you at the
zombie social last night.
We were all there
cracking wise,
singing some karaoke.
And i went with
tears of a clown
Because that's kind of
where i am right now.
Where's the good doctor?
He's out on a call.
I wasn't going to eat him.
You understand
why i'm not ready to
kiss and make up, right?
Yeah. I get it.
I turned you into a zombie,
You saw me almost kill a guy.
I'm not the same person i was
the night of the boat party.
At least i'm trying not to be.
It's not like i'm ladling out
soup or saving puppies,
But i'm actively trying
not to be a sleazebag.
Because i was a sleazebag.
I'm not dealing anymore,
Much to the chagrin
of my former employer.
And i've cut all the
poisonous people
out of my life,
Who were apparently the only
kind of people in my life,
So it's just me now.
Why are you telling me this?
Who the hell else
am i gonna tell it to?
Plus, i need your help.
Look, i get that you work
here at the brain automat,
But for the rest of us,
meaning me,
Procuring brains is kind of
a massive undertaking. So...
I was hoping,
from time to time,
You might be so inclined
as to help a brother out.
Okay.
(sighs)
Jeez.
That pause was like a year.
I can't just hand brains over
in the police morgue.
I'll have to meet up
with you later.
Of course. I hang out
at the dog-friendly
internet cafe on queen anne,
Mutt bowl surfers.
I'll be there all afternoon
just writing my screenplay
Live-tweeting its progress.
All right.
I'll come by later.
Thank you.
(honking la cucaracha )
Hutch!
Dougie!
What brings you to this
fair part of the city?
Boss is looking for you.
He wonders where you've been.
Why don't you tell him
i'll come by the club
tomorrow night, huh?
(groans)
He wants to see you now.
Yeah, now's not
so good for me.
Are you really going to make
hutch get out of the car?
All right. All right.
Let's calm down, shall we?
Quit stalling. I want
your ass in the car, now!
Well, it seems that
our wants are
at odds right now, dougie.
You see, i want to attend
to my business right now
And i want to not go with you
to a second location.
And i have to be honest
with you,
I'm feeling
a little threatened here,
And i find that disconcerting
'cause i thought
we were homies.
Hutch?
You gonna
help me out here, brah, or...
No?
Okay, i'll tell you what.
Why don't you
meet me here tomorrow...
"i've changed.
"i've cut all the poisonous
people out of my life."
You can either get in on
your own or hutch can wad
you up into a little ball
And throw you in.
Crazy what happened
on the lake.
The way you disappeared,
everyone thought you was dead.
Well... They were half right.
Boss thinks that batch
must've been cut
with something lethal.
He thinks you might've
been the one
who did the cutting.
Come on.
Is thinking really
his strong suit?
But don't worry,
When i'm running this city,
i won't make the same mistake.
(laughing)
Yeah, and what mistake
is that?
Underestimating
the little guy.
(screaming)
(screaming continues)
You changed your hair.
That was a joke.
Can i come in?
Would you look at this place?
You've done very well.
Who knew there was so much
money in trend-spotting?
You must be very good.
What's happening to me?
Oh, yeah, that.
Sorry. I buried the lead.
You're a zombie now.
Like, for real.
I know. Shock.
Disbelief. Confusion.
Welcome to team z.
Oh, you're the trend-spotter,
i should ask you.
Zombies...
I heard we're finito.
Is that, is that true?
Has over-saturation buried us?
I don't know.
I think we're gonna
surprise some people.
I mean,
what did ll cool j say?
"don't call it a comeback,"
right?
(laughs)
But before you get
to despair, jackie,
Allow me to ease your mind.
(clears throat)
For a mere 25k a month,
I've got the brains
you need to keep
all your pistons firing.
Sure, you'll need
frequent spray tans
And a considerably
better colorist to do
something with that hair,
But other than that,
(clears throat)
Death's gonna be swell.
Did i mention this
batch is super fresh?
Uh-uh.
First rule of brain club,
You don't talk
about brain club.
There are some things
worse than death.
Tina?
Will you bring my checkbook?
(sniffing)
So, i was wondering
If you happened
to exchange numbers
with our new zombie friend.
I wanted to see if he
can come in for more tests.
I don't think
that's a good idea.
Under your supervision,
of course.
And know that i do appreciate
you being protective of me.
I think he's a liar.
And a phony.
And i think he's just
using me for my brains.
Well, their brains.
But if he's
the only other one, i...
I don't know, ravi.
I don't know what to do.
I don't trust him.
I think he's dangerous.
Clive: Hey.
I was wondering
if you're free tonight?
There's a posthumous art show
for javier's work at his loft.
I was hoping you could join me
and see if you get anything.
Of course.
I got some very helpful
information from the waitress
Who waited on artie and lola
the night of the murder.
She said artie left the
restaurant to go to an atm.
Artie attempted to withdraw
just down the street
from javier's and lola's loft.
It was at 6:45 p.M.,
Which puts him
in close proximity to javier
And without an alibi
during the window you gave me
for the time of the murder.
What do you mean, "attempted"?
Oh, he wasn't able
to take out any cash
because he doesn't have any.
It goes beyond
insufficient funds.
The man is broke.
He's basically
living off credit cards.
Why would lola cover for him?
I plan on asking her
that very question tonight.
This art show...
I should probably
come as well.
In case you need help
with the art and the open bar.
And possibly the models.
Yeah.
(indistinct chatter)
You can have it, doc.
Don't mind if i do.
Woman: I absolutely loved
the first painting,
But who has
that kind of money?
The instant javier died
The price of his
paintings started
going through the roof.
Even his older work
is almost triple the price.
The best thing an artist can
do for their career is die.
Dying is also the best thing
an artist can do for
his broke-ass art dealer.
I'm going to look
for our hostess.
Let me know
if you get anything.
So, what is it
that you actually do?
Do you just stand there, or...
Oh, should i find
some personal items
for you to touch?
I kind of just walk around
and hope something happens.
It sounds kind of lame
now that i say it out loud.
No, it doesn't. Mmm-mmm.
No. You're on a quest
For visions.
A vision quest, if you will.
Stop enjoying yourself.
It's unseemly.
Detective babineaux.
I didn't know you'd be coming.
Well, i had
a follow-up question.
I'm wondering
Why you never mentioned
that artie left you at the
restaurant to go to the atm.
I guess i forgot.
How long was artie gone?
I don't remember.
Not long. Twenty minutes?
Twenty minutes?
And how long
of a walk is it from
the restaurant to your loft?
About five?
You're a detective, right?
I'm sorry?
I saw you come in with those
other two detectives.
Well, technically,
I do work for the
seattle police department...
My ex-boyfriend is here
and he's not supposed to be.
Okay.
I have a restraining order.
He's not allowed within
50 yards of me ever.
I'd leave, but i...
No, no, no,
you shouldn't leave.
No, you should stay right here
And we'll get this sorted out.
Can you, uh, point him out
for me?
Liv: Javier not only
left his art behind,
He left a part of himself.
If i'd never come back
from the lake that night,
What would my loved ones have?
Would my mom frame
old report cards?
-Marvel over
extra-credit projects?
-(door closes)
I thought i saw
you sneak in here.
I don't know if it's ironic
Or just brilliant,
But javier would've loved you.
And now he'll never get to lay
a hand on you, will he?
I've been thinking about you
Ever since our interrogation.
I've heard of
bad-cop, good-cop before,
But bad-cop, horny-cop
was a first.
How about we go
grab a drink with the others
And you can tell me all
about how i objectified you?
I think i'd rather
have you all to myself.
Javier: Oh, becca.
My darling girl.
A boy, javier.
We're having a son.
Tito, i should
explain something to you.
I'm not the kind of girl
you want to mess around with.
I want to mess around
with you.
(grunts)
(groaning)
It's a good one.
Mr. Fiss.
Congratulations.
Excuse me?
Well, looks like
you're having a big night.
Javier's paintings
selling for three times
their previous value.
What's your cut?
And here i thought
you were an art lover.
I'm disappointed.
Oh, no, no, no. I love art.
On a policeman's salary,
it is kind of tough
to keep up my collection.
But i do have
that one vermer.
Mmm. Vermeer.
Excuse me, detective.
I'm gonna go
somewhere you're not.
The extra cash
has gotta help pay off
some of those debts of yours.
And maybe now you
can get 20 bucks from
an atm when you need it.
You seem to be suggesting
i killed javier for money.
He was my friend, detective.
You were in love
with his wife.
I believe lola
deserved better.
Maybe you killed him
because he knocked up
your teenage daughter.
What did you say?
Javier was like
an uncle to becca.
Yeah, there was love there,
but it wasn't...
Oh, come on.
You expect us to
believe you didn't know?
Did javier seem
like the uncle type to you?
You found out that
your best friend was
going to be your son-in-law,
And it was a bridge too far.
You snapped.
Ravi: Stop!
Hold that position!
The angle of the brush,
it had to be swung from above
javier by someone taller,
But if javier was
on the bottom step...
(ravi grunts)
(exclaims)
He stumbles backwards
four or five paces
And the blood splatter
hits these steps.
The killer could've
been liv's size.
Are you sure
about this pregnancy?
Lola, you told me
javier never wanted children.
You never mentioned
whether or not you did.
You weren't covering for your
friend artie, were you?
Artie was covering for you.
The waitress
at the restaurant wasn't sure
what time you arrived,
Only that artie left
to go to an atm.
You killed javier
before you even got there.
You found out he was
going to have the baby
And start the family
he never had with you.
Artie: You knew about this?
And you didn't tell me?
Clive: And 20 minutes ago,
Lola confided in me that
you left the restaurant
Long enough
to commit the murder.
Detective.
-I did not...
-Artie: Lola! Stop!
When i got back from the atm,
there you were,
30 minutes late
and practically
hyperventilating.
Remember?
I reached up with my napkin
To wipe what i thought
was red paint from your cheek.
When we found javier dead,
i knew it was you.
And you somehow knew
i would cover for you.
You used me.
He was leaving me
to start a family
With an 18-year-old girl.
Clive: Lola abano,
You have the right
to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will
be used against you
in a court of law.
You little albino tease!
Look what you did to me!
-(thud)
-(crowd gasps)
There's a second pair
of cuffs in my car.
You mind grabbing them for me?
I guess you were right.
It's always the wife.
Liv: Javier's brain
shows me a view of
the world that's brighter,
More vibrant.
I can't let lola
diminish that view.
I'm not ready to go back
to a world without that light.
I want this feeling to last.
I want to leave
something more than
impressive report cards
To remember me by.
There is so much
beauty in the world.
And that's all that matters.
Inspiration. Love.
The heart wants what it wants.
Who are we to deny it?
Apparently, that mix cd
was a gateway drug.
I'm going to need
a more substantial fix.
Oh, uh... Okay.
Come on in.
Did you want me to
lend you something or...
I want you
to come sit with me.
Are you drunk?
I just want to be
here with you.
Let's hang out.
You want to hang out?
Am i gonna come
over there or are you
gonna come over here?
I just think that you're being
really weird right now.
Come
Sit with me.
I can't take another second
of not being close to you.
I just can't.
What the hell, liv?
You can't take
not being close to me?
Since when?
You've been icing me out
for six months.
I did everything
To try to get just one moment
of anything even remotely
affectionate from you.
You gave me nothing.
The day i came
to drop off your stuff
You could barely
look me in the eye.
And now you can't take
not being close to me?
You need to go.
-Major...
-No, just go, all right?
Liv: The passionate
mind is selfish.
It's so focused on
what it desires,
Reason becomes
background noise.
Javier's brain made me
cross the line that divides
what i long for
And what i can never have.
There were so many nights
i could have been with major
That i stayed home studying.
Days i could have spent
Sucking the marrow
out of life,
I spent building a resume
for a life i'd never have.
There were parts of me
that were dead even
before i became a zombie.
So maybe that means
it's possible for parts of me
to spring to life,
Even now that i'm dead.
and i died, sort of.
I had a promising career
and a great fiance.
Then i went to the world's
worst boat party
and got turned into a zombie.
Now i work at the morgue
for access to brains,
But brain eating
has side effects.
I take on the victim's
personality traits
And have visions which i use
to help solve their murders.
I work with a detective
who thinks i'm a psychic
And my boss,
the medical examiner,
The only person
who knows my secret.
I'm a crime-fighting zombie.
Previously on izombie...
Are you sure about
being the only one?
It's one of the things
that keeps me up at night.
That zombie,
haunting my dreams,
He's out there.
I'm saying it would be nice
if just once he would call.
You know how he is
when he's working.
No sense of time.
Javier?
You missed a great dinner.
(screaming)
Lola!
(lola sobbing)
(theme song playing)
Cause of death...
I assume we're going
with drowning, correct?
So, he was
a well-known artist?
Javier abano?
Oh, his paintings
are very popular.
Who doesn't love
A vibrant, abstract nude?
Hint, she eats brains.
It looks like he was just
trying to show off
How many different colors
of paint he owned.
Oh, i love his work.
I particularly enjoy the one
That looks like
a bright blue jacksy.
But i like my art provocative
with a tinge of whimsy.
-Okay, that's enough for now.
Okay, detective?
-(lola sobbing)
Ravi: Also, blue is
my favorite color.
And i'm a bit of an arse man.
Overshare, right?
Got anything for me?
Well...
Based on the stiffness
of the jaw and neck,
I'd put the time of death
between 6:00 and 7:00 p.M.
No defense wounds.
No physical signs of struggle.
It's a straight shot
from the orbital cavity
To the carotid artery so death
was likely instantaneous.
Like pushing an off button.
Well, stabbing
an off button
That's located
behind someone's eye,
Using the handle
of a paintbrush.
I'll know more when i get him
back to the morgue.
And what about you?
Anything you'd like to share?
Is the crime scene inspiring,
you know, any
otherworldly communications
Or conjurings
or what have you?
Wow. You're really a flip
to the last page of the book
Type guy, huh?
You've been detecting
for five minutes.
Oh, i know who did it.
It's the wife.
You think it was that
sobbing woman
Crumbling
to pieces on the patio?
She has an alibi,
but it's always the wife.
Unless the wife
is the dead one.
Then it's the husband.
I was just hoping something
sparked your sixth sense,
So we can expedite things.
Sorry. No sparking.
Detective,
We're going to have to remove
the paint brush in order
to get him in the bag, so...
I got it.
I'll check back in later.
This fake psychic thing
Is going to bite me
in the ass when he starts
asking me for lottery numbers.
Fresh brains, anyone?
Liv: My need to feed
on brains is weird,
But how many people can say
that satisfying their munchies
Could potentially help
solve a murder case?
This is my contribution
to society.
Better?
Much.
I'm just a fake, psychic
zombie trying to do her part.
(doorbell rings)
I was going to rename this
"major's excuse to come over,"
But i'm trying to maintain
an air of mystery.
No, but seriously,
i figured after six months
You were probably
really missing
your tiny face-sander thing
And that magnifying
mirror that makes pores
look like manholes.
Thanks for leaving
that behind, by the way.
You didn't need to do this.
No, it's mostly just
hair products and lingerie,
But there's some books.
Oh, and this...
Which might
explain some things.
I'm thinking maybe this
calls for a road trip.
I'm just, i'm just kidding
around, liv.
I know.
Yeah, well, i didn't know
what to do with this stuff.
It felt weird to throw it out.
I mean, what if you had
an emotional attachment
To this textbook
on rare skin diseases?
Well, thanks
for bringing it by.
"not zooey deschanel" in 7b
took my parking spot again.
There is nothing more
annoying than an entitled
chick in a skater dress.
Oh, hi. Hey.
Should i not be here?
No, i, uh,
i was just heading out.
I, uh, i also have
an entire closet full
of engagement gifts,
So just let me know
if you want anything,
Other than the panini
press which i have already
used and broken,
And re-purchased.
Oh, we'll take the juicer.
I'll, uh, i'll drop it off
this week.
Wait, didn't you register
for a nespresso machine?
I can't believe
you just asked major for
our engagement juicer.
Like letting him keep
the small appliances
is going to change
The fact that you
broke his heart.
He probably
shouldn't come by here.
Why? Because it's too hard?
What does that tell you?
(gasps)
Want to grab a bite?
Liv: What's more meta
than a zombie having
a bad zombie dream?
No luck in my search for
mystery zombie number two.
Unless you
count my nightmares.
I've searched instagram
accounts of survivors,
I've been through all the
photos on the facebook
pages of everyone
Who was listed
as being at the party.
Maybe you should take a break.
You know, chill out.
Clear your mind.
Here.
"hotter sex tonight.
Five easy steps."
I stole it from
the dentist's office.
Liv: Unless step one is
"forget that you might turn
your loved one into a zombie
and just have at it,"
This is not
the article for me.
It's why i can't have the man
I planned on spending
my life with
Doing drop-bys.
It hurts too much.
(javier speaking spanish)
(breathing heavily)
Oh, god.
(javier speaking spanish)
(door closing)
(gasps)
Someone's here.
(exhales)
Is that shock at sex tip four?
'cause i didn't
understand it either.
Javier was having an affair.
It was pretty hot.
Clive: So during this vision,
Did javier happen
to call out the girl's name?
No. He just called her
his sugar flower,
Or his honey goddess.
Both sound better in spanish.
She mostly talked about god.
And you didn't see
who walked in on them?
No, but it was at the loft
Because i recognized the
chaise in javier's work space.
They were on top of it.
At one point, she suddenly
arched her back,
Like some higher power
was pulling her chest
towards the heavens.
Her skin was like butter,
And the way she moved...
Okay, i think i get it.
It was like watching
a flower bloom.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Arching, blooming,
Then someone came in
that you didn't see,
But was probably lola.
I didn't say that.
No. You gave me
fifty shades of psychic
And no vital details.
Look, he was having an affair.
His wife caught him.
Like i said,
it's always the spouse.
I'm going to head over
and question her again.
You feel like joining me?
Maybe you'll have
another vision.
Hopefully one that's less
late-night premium cable.
She's a bit more
calm right now, but...
It's going to be a long road.
Lola,
Detective babineaux is here.
I'm going to take off.
You call me
if you need anything.
That's sugar flower.
From my vision.
With the buttery skin.
Sorry to interrupt you,
mrs. Abano.
I had a few more questions.
Of course.
And it's lola, please.
And this is
my dear friend tasha.
She's my favorite
of all of javier's lovers.
Lola: Artie and i wound up
eating without javier all the
time when he was working.
He'd just get lost painting,
Or not want to stop
if it was going well.
He was at the mercy
of his creative flow.
Sounds like you were
at the mercy of it as well.
I never minded.
I just wanted him to
feel free to do whatever
he needed to do.
I respected his process.
The other women,
were they a part
of his process?
(chuckles)
Asking javier to sleep
with one woman
for the rest of his life
Would be like
Asking him to paint
those little seascapes
on the novelty spoons
They sell at the pier.
He had a way of, like,
discovering people,
And then sort of revealing
them to themselves.
That is really beautiful.
Seriously, he sounds amazing.
Lola: The other women
were not an issue.
I knew who javier was with
And what he was getting
out of the relationship.
He knew all
about my dalliances.
Nobody got hurt.
It's not like we had
children to worry about.
Javier never wanted any.
His paintings were his babies.
Yeah, right. So,
It didn't bother you
that his babies
Were nude paintings of the
women he was sleeping with?
No.
It bothers me
that you're being dismissive
About my husband's art
and our marriage.
Monogamy was not
important to us.
What javier and i had
was beyond the physical.
How is it incriminating
to say she didn't care
who he slept with?
Uh, she cared.
That's just
something they say.
Of course, i might've
been paying closer
attention than you.
You seemed
a little distracted.
-(cell phone vibrating)
-plus, it's always the spouse.
Huh.
What?
An e-mail from your boss.
The paintbrush/murder weapon
Was thrust into
mr. Abano's eye socket
At an angle consistent
with a right-handed killer
who was 6'2" or 6'3".
Does that mean javier
had two wives?
Because lola is around
my height, right?
So, if it's always the spouse,
Maybe it was wife number two
that's the tall one.
Wait!
I'm being totally serious now.
If you find a pair of
foot-high stilettos
in lola's closet,
Can you ask her
where she got them?
Liv, you're here. Fantastic.
This is jimmy.
He is a police sketch artist.
I happened to run into him
at the commissary,
And we got to talking and...
Well, i mentioned your
issue trying to locate
A certain blonde gentleman.
I had a pretty substantial
missed connection
myself back in '05.
(sighs)
I'd be married today if those
subway doors didn't close
Before i could get her number.
Huh.
Okay.
So, any defining features?
His lips were thin,
But there
was substance to them.
They kind of grew
from his mouth,
Like a secret
he couldn't keep.
So, thin lips...
Liv: But expressive.
In that they seemed
to be working
At not expressing anything.
Mmm-hmm.
There was something
historic about his chin.
I think the nose needs
to be more alert.
I thought you said
it was soft and gradual,
Like a sand hill.
But with an alertness.
Like the whole bridge
is working towards
Getting down to the point.
You need to
see the foundation.
Oh. The foundation.
Got it. Great. (clears throat)
Okay.
See you later.
Am i right in assuming
this is a new skill?
You said you were with
lola at the orchard restaurant
from 6:00 p.M. To 9:30 p.M.,
When you walked her
back to the loft
and discovered javier.
Mmm-hmm.
Three and a half hours is
a pretty long time for dinner.
Not really. (chuckles)
We spent a big chunk
of the time waiting
for javier to show.
I'm not just
javier's art dealer.
We have all been friends
for years.
And how close
are you and lola?
Very close.
She's one of
my dearest friends.
Hmm.
Nothing more than that.
Not ever.
She's totally devoted
to javier.
Yeah, she did mention
having
Dalliances
outside of the marriage.
Dalliances?
With whom?
She didn't give any names.
Sorry, i'm having trouble
processing that.
Javier was
her entire universe.
Lola loved him
unconditionally,
While javier slept with
every model in seattle.
You don't sound
like a very big fan
of your client.
Oh, i was a huge fan.
Some of the best times of
my life were with javier.
He was a brilliant artist.
Not a great husband.
How tall are you, mr. Fiss?
You know, instead of
grilling his friend,
Maybe take a look
at one of the countless
jilted boyfriends
Of the girls javier
slept with.
Thanks for the tip.
Now, are you going to
answer my question
Or do i need
to go get a ruler?
I'm 6'2".
Thank you.
In elementary school,
I could barely trace my hand
to draw a turkey.
Well, when you finish,
i'll send it out to
the boat massacre survivors.
You know, maybe
someone will recognize him.
Why do we own this?
Because we saw it
in the check-out line
At home, hearth
and everything else
And it had the same color blue
as our pillows.
It's horrible.
Since when did you become
an art critic?
The one and only time
we've ever gone
to a museum together
Was on our senior
trip to paris
When we race-walked
through the louvre
Because it was raining
and we wanted
to do some cardio.
That's so awful.
No, it wasn't awful.
It was fun.
Liv: In the six months
i've been eating brains,
I've inherited things like
A fear of pigeons,
kleptomania...
A couple scoops of
javier's brain in a
microwave pizza roll
And i find myself
feeling passionate,
Inspired.
I'm not just drawn to beauty,
I want to possess it,
make love to it.
I walk into a room
and i see everything.
Heard you were looking for me.
Just so we're on
the same page here...
Your skin and hair
being the color of chalk,
That isn't
a style choice, right?
It isn't.
Oh.
And i have no idea
where you got this,
But it's totally
my new profile pic.
So.
What do you want with me?
I wanted to meet you.
Because?
Because i had a vision
of you as a zombie,
Chasing a man
through an alley.
You were about to
rip open his skull.
He was killed in a dui
accident, wound up here.
I ate his brain.
Until the vision, i thought
i was the only one.
Yeah, until, like,
three seconds ago, so did i.
Getting your brains on
the job. That's well-played.
Well, how do you
get your brains?
Oh, i get mine the hardest
way possible.
I grave-rob.
Super fun.
I should have gone
into medicine.
I mean, come on.
Look at this.
Oh, uh...
That guy you saw me
chase in the vision?
He tried to mug me,
just so you know.
He came at me, so i raged out
or whatever.
What are you calling that,
by the way?
The big turn?
It's not like i've been
mentioning it in conversation,
But i think of it
as raging out.
I don't know if
we should agree on
some terminology, or...
I guess i call it
zombie mode.
Really? Aren't we already
kind of in zombie mode?
Well, actually, i call it
full-on zombie mode.
Huh.
So, is raging out at all
interesting to you, or...
You know what, never mind.
It doesn't matter.
Uh, the guy tried to mug me,
and i went into
full-on zombie mode
And, yeah...
Before i knew it,
sirens were blaring
And i'm still about to crack
this guy's head open for just
the tiniest taste of brain,
Which is the single
most disgusting thing
a person can eat.
That it is.
It's the consistency
that kills me.
I can't get around it.
And there's that
weird metallic taste.
Is it metallic?
I don't even know.
I used to be
a serious wine guy.
Like, sideways crazy about it.
And now everything
i drink is like iodine.
I saw a kid eating
a peanut butter cup last week
And i almost cried.
I miss food so much.
I miss so many things.
Who knew death would be
this isolating, right?
You really nailed
the historic chin.
Bravo.
Thrilled to have you here.
And if you haven't
used the facilities yet,
A urine sample
would be lovely.
I have zero clue as to how
this happened to me.
Granted i was super high
the night of the boat party.
It is so crazy to be
talking about this.
Would you mind if i check
inside your ears?
Brother, you do
what you gotta to do.
I'll drop trou if you think
you can cure this.
So how did you
become a zombie?
Did it happen the night
of the boat party?
Yes. It happened
at the boat party.
You tried to sell me utopium,
smacked my ass,
And went all rage zombie
and clawed my forearm.
No, seriously?
Oh, my god.
I can't even...
-Are you sure it was me?
-Yes.
Because things must've
been pretty crazy that night.
I'm sure.
How do i even apologize
for something like that?
I swear to god, if i wasn't
95% sure i would survive,
I would throw myself
off a bridge right now.
I would be...
I'm so sorry.
I never meant to hurt you.
Javier: Calm down, now.
We're all adults here.
Now i've ruined
something you love.
Did you just...
Where'd you go?
There's something
i gotta take care of.
You should get going.
Oh, liv, i can finish up.
Ah!
She doesn't want to
leave you alone with me.
Fair enough.
(clears throat)
Excuse me.
I'm not sure
that was necessary.
Neither am i.
It wasn't lola who
caught javier and tasha
fooling around.
It was tasha's
jealous boyfriend.
A jealous boyfriend, huh?
Artie may have been
trying to deflect attention
away from himself,
But it's a lead
worth following up.
Liv: There he is. Tasha's ex.
The one with the
gleaming crystal eyes
And the mouth that
looks like it just
finished eating a peach.
How about you just
tell me what color
shirt he's wearing?
Cerulean.
What were you doing
on tuesday between the
hours of 6:00 and 7:00?
I was at home. Alone.
How did that happen?
How tall are you, mr. Rivera?
I'm 6'3".
When did you first
learn about...
Can i just ask a question?
Do you have a little
native american
in your ancestry
'cause those cheekbones...
Miss moore!
Oh. Sorry.
I'm a quarter cherokee.
Yeah, you are.
Do i need to ask you to leave?
When did you first
learn about your
girlfriend and javier?
Ex-girlfriend.
And i don't remember.
You don't remember
discovering your girlfriend
cheating on you?
I don't like
to dwell on things.
Besides, she got
what was coming to her.
Javier dumped her
a few months ago
for a younger version.
That's the kind of guy
she left me for.
Someone who'll bang
his best friend's
18-year-old daughter.
Artie?
His manager's daughter?
Yeah. Becca.
It's a not-too-well-kept
secret around
the art community.
But you didn't
hear it from me.
You gotta let me
buy you a drink.
I need something
in the win column today.
I think you need to set
the bar a little bit higher.
Buying somebody a drink
doesn't seem like much
of an accomplishment.
That depends on how many
guys you turned down
before i got here.
So... (clears throat)
What brings you
here to drink alone
And stare off into
the top-shelf liquor
on this fine evening?
Let's just say life takes
some surprising turns.
Doesn't it, though?
If someone were
to tell me a year ago
That my life would
be like it is today,
I would've punched
him in the face.
Listen,
You're incredibly charming,
But the age difference
isn't something i'm into.
(clears throat)
Well, that is a shame.
Because i am lonely as hell
and the idea of trying
To have a conversation
with some 25-year-old
As she swipes
through tinder,
Makes me want to impale
myself on that bar tap.
Well, there's no reason
why we can't have a nice chat.
Sure there is.
(knocking on door)
Come on in.
(jazz music playing on stereo)
Um...
Hey, pod person who's
taken over liv's body,
You really should've
done some homework
Because no one
is going to buy this.
Hey.
Sorry. I was kind of
in the zone or something.
Hi.
Hi.
I would literally be
less surprised to come in here
And find you building
a rocket ship.
It's a new hobby.
This coming
from the girl who said
Hobbies were for people
under 12 or over 65.
When did i say that?
Repeatedly. Over the course
of several years.
But i think you were just
trying to talk me out of
Making my own
outdoor furniture,
Which i still think
i'd be kind of awesome at.
And, i'm sorry, are you
listening to chet baker?
Is that who this is?
I am loving him.
You're what?
I tried to get you to listen
to jazz for years.
I spent weeks
strategically arranging the
perfect mix cd for you
And you stopped listening
after two songs.
I think this is the cd.
You said you thought the lack
of structure was narcissistic
And you'd rather listen
to someone dropping cutlery.
Why was i such a jerk?
Who knows? (sighs)
It was just one of the many
things i accepted
Because you're super-hot.
I'm kidding,
To a degree.
If you're really
liking this cd,
I have a bunch
of stuff on vinyl
i could record for you.
I'd love that.
You're amazing.
I should get going.
I was just dropping
off the juicer.
There but for the
grace of god, right?
Missed you at the
zombie social last night.
We were all there
cracking wise,
singing some karaoke.
And i went with
tears of a clown
Because that's kind of
where i am right now.
Where's the good doctor?
He's out on a call.
I wasn't going to eat him.
You understand
why i'm not ready to
kiss and make up, right?
Yeah. I get it.
I turned you into a zombie,
You saw me almost kill a guy.
I'm not the same person i was
the night of the boat party.
At least i'm trying not to be.
It's not like i'm ladling out
soup or saving puppies,
But i'm actively trying
not to be a sleazebag.
Because i was a sleazebag.
I'm not dealing anymore,
Much to the chagrin
of my former employer.
And i've cut all the
poisonous people
out of my life,
Who were apparently the only
kind of people in my life,
So it's just me now.
Why are you telling me this?
Who the hell else
am i gonna tell it to?
Plus, i need your help.
Look, i get that you work
here at the brain automat,
But for the rest of us,
meaning me,
Procuring brains is kind of
a massive undertaking. So...
I was hoping,
from time to time,
You might be so inclined
as to help a brother out.
Okay.
(sighs)
Jeez.
That pause was like a year.
I can't just hand brains over
in the police morgue.
I'll have to meet up
with you later.
Of course. I hang out
at the dog-friendly
internet cafe on queen anne,
Mutt bowl surfers.
I'll be there all afternoon
just writing my screenplay
Live-tweeting its progress.
All right.
I'll come by later.
Thank you.
(honking la cucaracha )
Hutch!
Dougie!
What brings you to this
fair part of the city?
Boss is looking for you.
He wonders where you've been.
Why don't you tell him
i'll come by the club
tomorrow night, huh?
(groans)
He wants to see you now.
Yeah, now's not
so good for me.
Are you really going to make
hutch get out of the car?
All right. All right.
Let's calm down, shall we?
Quit stalling. I want
your ass in the car, now!
Well, it seems that
our wants are
at odds right now, dougie.
You see, i want to attend
to my business right now
And i want to not go with you
to a second location.
And i have to be honest
with you,
I'm feeling
a little threatened here,
And i find that disconcerting
'cause i thought
we were homies.
Hutch?
You gonna
help me out here, brah, or...
No?
Okay, i'll tell you what.
Why don't you
meet me here tomorrow...
"i've changed.
"i've cut all the poisonous
people out of my life."
You can either get in on
your own or hutch can wad
you up into a little ball
And throw you in.
Crazy what happened
on the lake.
The way you disappeared,
everyone thought you was dead.
Well... They were half right.
Boss thinks that batch
must've been cut
with something lethal.
He thinks you might've
been the one
who did the cutting.
Come on.
Is thinking really
his strong suit?
But don't worry,
When i'm running this city,
i won't make the same mistake.
(laughing)
Yeah, and what mistake
is that?
Underestimating
the little guy.
(screaming)
(screaming continues)
You changed your hair.
That was a joke.
Can i come in?
Would you look at this place?
You've done very well.
Who knew there was so much
money in trend-spotting?
You must be very good.
What's happening to me?
Oh, yeah, that.
Sorry. I buried the lead.
You're a zombie now.
Like, for real.
I know. Shock.
Disbelief. Confusion.
Welcome to team z.
Oh, you're the trend-spotter,
i should ask you.
Zombies...
I heard we're finito.
Is that, is that true?
Has over-saturation buried us?
I don't know.
I think we're gonna
surprise some people.
I mean,
what did ll cool j say?
"don't call it a comeback,"
right?
(laughs)
But before you get
to despair, jackie,
Allow me to ease your mind.
(clears throat)
For a mere 25k a month,
I've got the brains
you need to keep
all your pistons firing.
Sure, you'll need
frequent spray tans
And a considerably
better colorist to do
something with that hair,
But other than that,
(clears throat)
Death's gonna be swell.
Did i mention this
batch is super fresh?
Uh-uh.
First rule of brain club,
You don't talk
about brain club.
There are some things
worse than death.
Tina?
Will you bring my checkbook?
(sniffing)
So, i was wondering
If you happened
to exchange numbers
with our new zombie friend.
I wanted to see if he
can come in for more tests.
I don't think
that's a good idea.
Under your supervision,
of course.
And know that i do appreciate
you being protective of me.
I think he's a liar.
And a phony.
And i think he's just
using me for my brains.
Well, their brains.
But if he's
the only other one, i...
I don't know, ravi.
I don't know what to do.
I don't trust him.
I think he's dangerous.
Clive: Hey.
I was wondering
if you're free tonight?
There's a posthumous art show
for javier's work at his loft.
I was hoping you could join me
and see if you get anything.
Of course.
I got some very helpful
information from the waitress
Who waited on artie and lola
the night of the murder.
She said artie left the
restaurant to go to an atm.
Artie attempted to withdraw
just down the street
from javier's and lola's loft.
It was at 6:45 p.M.,
Which puts him
in close proximity to javier
And without an alibi
during the window you gave me
for the time of the murder.
What do you mean, "attempted"?
Oh, he wasn't able
to take out any cash
because he doesn't have any.
It goes beyond
insufficient funds.
The man is broke.
He's basically
living off credit cards.
Why would lola cover for him?
I plan on asking her
that very question tonight.
This art show...
I should probably
come as well.
In case you need help
with the art and the open bar.
And possibly the models.
Yeah.
(indistinct chatter)
You can have it, doc.
Don't mind if i do.
Woman: I absolutely loved
the first painting,
But who has
that kind of money?
The instant javier died
The price of his
paintings started
going through the roof.
Even his older work
is almost triple the price.
The best thing an artist can
do for their career is die.
Dying is also the best thing
an artist can do for
his broke-ass art dealer.
I'm going to look
for our hostess.
Let me know
if you get anything.
So, what is it
that you actually do?
Do you just stand there, or...
Oh, should i find
some personal items
for you to touch?
I kind of just walk around
and hope something happens.
It sounds kind of lame
now that i say it out loud.
No, it doesn't. Mmm-mmm.
No. You're on a quest
For visions.
A vision quest, if you will.
Stop enjoying yourself.
It's unseemly.
Detective babineaux.
I didn't know you'd be coming.
Well, i had
a follow-up question.
I'm wondering
Why you never mentioned
that artie left you at the
restaurant to go to the atm.
I guess i forgot.
How long was artie gone?
I don't remember.
Not long. Twenty minutes?
Twenty minutes?
And how long
of a walk is it from
the restaurant to your loft?
About five?
You're a detective, right?
I'm sorry?
I saw you come in with those
other two detectives.
Well, technically,
I do work for the
seattle police department...
My ex-boyfriend is here
and he's not supposed to be.
Okay.
I have a restraining order.
He's not allowed within
50 yards of me ever.
I'd leave, but i...
No, no, no,
you shouldn't leave.
No, you should stay right here
And we'll get this sorted out.
Can you, uh, point him out
for me?
Liv: Javier not only
left his art behind,
He left a part of himself.
If i'd never come back
from the lake that night,
What would my loved ones have?
Would my mom frame
old report cards?
-Marvel over
extra-credit projects?
-(door closes)
I thought i saw
you sneak in here.
I don't know if it's ironic
Or just brilliant,
But javier would've loved you.
And now he'll never get to lay
a hand on you, will he?
I've been thinking about you
Ever since our interrogation.
I've heard of
bad-cop, good-cop before,
But bad-cop, horny-cop
was a first.
How about we go
grab a drink with the others
And you can tell me all
about how i objectified you?
I think i'd rather
have you all to myself.
Javier: Oh, becca.
My darling girl.
A boy, javier.
We're having a son.
Tito, i should
explain something to you.
I'm not the kind of girl
you want to mess around with.
I want to mess around
with you.
(grunts)
(groaning)
It's a good one.
Mr. Fiss.
Congratulations.
Excuse me?
Well, looks like
you're having a big night.
Javier's paintings
selling for three times
their previous value.
What's your cut?
And here i thought
you were an art lover.
I'm disappointed.
Oh, no, no, no. I love art.
On a policeman's salary,
it is kind of tough
to keep up my collection.
But i do have
that one vermer.
Mmm. Vermeer.
Excuse me, detective.
I'm gonna go
somewhere you're not.
The extra cash
has gotta help pay off
some of those debts of yours.
And maybe now you
can get 20 bucks from
an atm when you need it.
You seem to be suggesting
i killed javier for money.
He was my friend, detective.
You were in love
with his wife.
I believe lola
deserved better.
Maybe you killed him
because he knocked up
your teenage daughter.
What did you say?
Javier was like
an uncle to becca.
Yeah, there was love there,
but it wasn't...
Oh, come on.
You expect us to
believe you didn't know?
Did javier seem
like the uncle type to you?
You found out that
your best friend was
going to be your son-in-law,
And it was a bridge too far.
You snapped.
Ravi: Stop!
Hold that position!
The angle of the brush,
it had to be swung from above
javier by someone taller,
But if javier was
on the bottom step...
(ravi grunts)
(exclaims)
He stumbles backwards
four or five paces
And the blood splatter
hits these steps.
The killer could've
been liv's size.
Are you sure
about this pregnancy?
Lola, you told me
javier never wanted children.
You never mentioned
whether or not you did.
You weren't covering for your
friend artie, were you?
Artie was covering for you.
The waitress
at the restaurant wasn't sure
what time you arrived,
Only that artie left
to go to an atm.
You killed javier
before you even got there.
You found out he was
going to have the baby
And start the family
he never had with you.
Artie: You knew about this?
And you didn't tell me?
Clive: And 20 minutes ago,
Lola confided in me that
you left the restaurant
Long enough
to commit the murder.
Detective.
-I did not...
-Artie: Lola! Stop!
When i got back from the atm,
there you were,
30 minutes late
and practically
hyperventilating.
Remember?
I reached up with my napkin
To wipe what i thought
was red paint from your cheek.
When we found javier dead,
i knew it was you.
And you somehow knew
i would cover for you.
You used me.
He was leaving me
to start a family
With an 18-year-old girl.
Clive: Lola abano,
You have the right
to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will
be used against you
in a court of law.
You little albino tease!
Look what you did to me!
-(thud)
-(crowd gasps)
There's a second pair
of cuffs in my car.
You mind grabbing them for me?
I guess you were right.
It's always the wife.
Liv: Javier's brain
shows me a view of
the world that's brighter,
More vibrant.
I can't let lola
diminish that view.
I'm not ready to go back
to a world without that light.
I want this feeling to last.
I want to leave
something more than
impressive report cards
To remember me by.
There is so much
beauty in the world.
And that's all that matters.
Inspiration. Love.
The heart wants what it wants.
Who are we to deny it?
Apparently, that mix cd
was a gateway drug.
I'm going to need
a more substantial fix.
Oh, uh... Okay.
Come on in.
Did you want me to
lend you something or...
I want you
to come sit with me.
Are you drunk?
I just want to be
here with you.
Let's hang out.
You want to hang out?
Am i gonna come
over there or are you
gonna come over here?
I just think that you're being
really weird right now.
Come
Sit with me.
I can't take another second
of not being close to you.
I just can't.
What the hell, liv?
You can't take
not being close to me?
Since when?
You've been icing me out
for six months.
I did everything
To try to get just one moment
of anything even remotely
affectionate from you.
You gave me nothing.
The day i came
to drop off your stuff
You could barely
look me in the eye.
And now you can't take
not being close to me?
You need to go.
-Major...
-No, just go, all right?
Liv: The passionate
mind is selfish.
It's so focused on
what it desires,
Reason becomes
background noise.
Javier's brain made me
cross the line that divides
what i long for
And what i can never have.
There were so many nights
i could have been with major
That i stayed home studying.
Days i could have spent
Sucking the marrow
out of life,
I spent building a resume
for a life i'd never have.
There were parts of me
that were dead even
before i became a zombie.
So maybe that means
it's possible for parts of me
to spring to life,
Even now that i'm dead.
