Original subtitles

[narrator] Previously on Crossing Jordan...

Cavanaugh.

You gonna tell me why you called?

Look, Pollack, I'm sorry. I... I messed up.

It wasn't that I didn't care about you, I did.

I... I just miss you.

Do you remember three years ago

when I declared my feelings for you?

I loved you then. And I haven't stopped.

You're the most amazing woman I've ever met.

And I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

Will you marry me?

Three weeks ago, marriage was the furthest thing from my mind.

When someone asks you to marry them, they deserve an answer and...

Jeffrey asked me, so I said yes.

["Don't Leave Me This Way" playing]

[knocking at door]

[Lily] Jordan.

[playfully] Jordan.

[knocking continues]

Jordan.

Come on, it's time to get up. You're my maid of honor.

-Jordan. -[knocking continues]

All right, Jordan, I'm coming in.

We've gotta get downstairs by...

Oh, my God.

Jordan, put down the gun.

Put down the gun.

What happened?

Take a deep breath.

Hey, Jordan.

What happened?

I... I don't know, I...

I don't remember.

[theme music playing]

I'm just saying, Brandau's mum sure is a pistol.

Her cha-cha-cha. Her paddle-and-roll.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

Who would've thought a woman who gave birth to that could be so va-va-va-voom?

Makes me look forward to meeting your mum.

You girls looked lovely last night.

That's a nice toast, Bug.

Yeah, well, I just felt bad that Lily's brother didn't show up.

I can't believe she's actually leaving.

I never would've pegged Lily

as the kind of person to quit her job just 'cause she was getting married.

I think she needs a change.

Won't be the same without her.

[phone rings]

Macy.

I've got his blood all over me.

There was, uh, a gun in my hand. Whose was it?

It was registered to Mr. Pollack.

Did you know he had a gun?

The blood... I want to wash it off.

Do what you have to do fast and get the body out of here.

Oh, God. Why would I do this? Why would I shoot him?

Don't say anything else, Jordan.

She's in shock. Whatever she says doesn't count.

I don't remember what happened. I need to know.

CSU will take trace off her.

I got it covered.

Dr. Macy, I think it's better for CSU to do it.

You don't want to go there, Detective.

Test for GSR, and get her blood alcohol.

Come on.

You don't need to be here.

I need to be here for Jordan.

Where's Jeffrey?

I called him. Um, there was this, uh, wedding breakfast thing.

I guess he just hasn't checked his messages.

At least sit down.

[Macy] How many drinks did you have?

Um...

It was a party, I wasn't counting.

How'd you get that bruise on your arm?

Uh...

Garret, I did this once before, remember?

Blocked out something bad.

Why would I shoot him?

We don't know anything yet.

Look, we're with you, Jordan. We'll figure out what happened.

-Woody? -Ho-ho!

-Feast your eyes on this, my friend. -Woody...

-I know what you're thinking, this is a kid's sandwich... -No, no. Woody, Woody...

Didn't anyone call you?

[Macy] Gunshot residue.

Oh, God, I really did do it.

Garret...

-I want to go with him. -No, you can't.

Can you stay with her for a while?

Dr. Macy, what the hell?

Woody, I'm... I'm sorry. It looks like she shot him.

Why?

She doesn't know. But you should not be here.

You had a relationship with her.

-And you have a relationship with me. -Woody...

-You wanted to see me? -Yes. Um...

Lily, Officer Sanders needs to take your statement.

Lily!

Are you okay?

We have to help Jordan.

Who's with her now?

-Woody and Lu. -Okay.

Well, then we just need to let them do their jobs.

-But she's... -I know.

It's a horrible process, but it just needs to play out. You know that.

Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't listen

to my voicemail sooner, I should've been here for you.

[sighs]

Our wedding...

It's all gonna be okay.

-I have to... -Okay.

Just...

You don't remember how many drinks you had?

I've never drunk myself into a blackout.

Still, it could explain what happened.

Most domestic violence involves alcohol.

I know it's all jumbled in your head right now.

But why don't we go to the top?

When did Pollack get back into town?

Yesterday.

I called him last week.

I was just wondering how he was doing.

I... I really didn't think he'd show up here.

I'm not snooping.

Looking for aspirin.

Ah.

Ah.

Headache?

Yeah, little bit.

Uh, you here on a story?

Sort of.

Not really. I, uh...

I thought maybe, you know, you... Well, you called me.

Yeah, well, I was, uh... I was thinking about you. [laughs]

Wondering how you're doing.

I've been thinking about you, too.

[Nigel] There isn't anything that would make Jordan angry enough

to shoot him down in cold blood. Intentionally. Maliciously.

-She does have a temper. -She's not homicidal.

It must've been an accident.

One slug in the headboard, another in the wall?

I mean, one shot could be accidental, but two?

This is Jordan we're talking about.

There was gunshot residue on her hand and her arm.

Her fingerprints were on the gun.

We don't know what happened.

This is Jordan's. Run a tox screen.

Must've been self-defense.

Look, I never liked this guy, but we're saying he tried to kill her?

What are our choices? It can only be an accident, self-defense...

Or murder.

I know this is hard, but we want to help you.

What happened next?

Uh...

He wanted to go out for coffee.

But I still had some work left to do, and, uh...

Then I had to go to the rehearsal dinner.

You invited him to go with you?

To the party afterwards.

Which was at the bar. Everyone was drinking?

[crowd] Three! Four!

Five!

Six!

Just like home.

-You do that? -Yeah, I used to.

Till my liver started complaining.

Uh, look, the party's great, but, uh...

I was kind of hoping we might be alone.

Well, I mean, unless your, uh, your maid of honor duties

mean you have to stay till the bitter end.

-[Kapoor] Hey. -[glass clicking]

Hello, everyone. [chuckles]

I would like to make a toast.

To Lily and, uh...

-Jeffrey. -[Kapoor] Jeffrey!

[laughter]

...who are getting married tomorrow.

-[woman] They are! -Yeah. Whoo!

-What's going on? Is he drunk? -It'll be fine.

Now, I think everybody in this room knows Jeffrey.

-I know him! -[laughter]

But, uh, for those of you who do not know Lily,

she is kind,

she's sweet.

And she has the biggest, most caring heart of anyone I have ever met.

[woman] Aw, that is good. Yeah.

[Kapoor] Now, I'm... I'm not very good at making speeches.

Oh, no, no, no.

And I don't know much about finding love.

But I imagine we are not that much different from the Harmonia axyridis...

[man] What is that?

...the ladybug who hibernates all through the winter,

and then ventures out in the spring with just one goal,

to find his soul mate.

This is a creature that would rather die than fail the quest.

Eventually, the two meet, they become one, and they are complete.

And they flourish as never before.

I am so glad that my friend

has found a way to flourish with yours.

Cheers.

[all] Cheers!

[cheering]

[laughing]

Jordan's blood alcohol level is .002.

So Jordan wasn't drunk last night.

Is that good for us or bad for us?

It's not gonna help us say the second shot was an accident.

Doesn't mitigate intent. No impaired judgment.

So what did he do to her?

You don't recall any of this?

It's a half hour before time of death.

The hallway outside the bar.

I feel like I'm losing my mind.

This is good, Jordan. This tape is good.

He's angry, he's manhandling you. Maybe he's out of control.

He does something, you fight back. This goes to self-defense.

[Bug] Pollack had a lot more to drink than Jordan.

Maybe that explains the fight.

Aussies love to drink.

His being drunk isn't enough. How much longer?

Got it now. Hang on.

[beeping]

[sighs]

Good God.

What? What is it?

I think I should talk to the detectives first.

Oh, God.

Jordan...

Oh, my God.

What happened?

So it couldn't have been self-defense.

What is it?

He was shot in the back.

Then it's...

Murder.

Not guilty.

So entered. Bail, counselor?

The Commonwealth requests the defendant be denied bail.

Your Honor, I requested an expedited arraignment

so my client could be free on bail.

She has no priors, strong ties to the community...

Without bail, she's looking at nine months in custody awaiting trial.

She's an M.E. with access to all forensic evidence and morgue personnel.

The state requests remand.

Is Mr. Lasky suggesting that Dr. Cavanaugh would tamper with evidence?

No, ma'am, I am saying that no suspect

should be allowed inside an investigation.

Mr. Brandau?

Something you'd like to share with the class?

Uh, yes, Your Honor. Uh...

The District Attorney has decided not to oppose bail.

Dr. Cavanaugh, I'm granting bail.

But you are to stay away from the morgue during the investigation.

Your Honor, that's where she works.

It's a bail condition, Counselor.

You will stay away from the morgue, Doctor.

Violate the order, your bail will be revoked,

and you'll find yourself behind bars until your trial.

[judge bangs gavel]

[knocking at door]

Here you are, dear.

Your Monique Lhuillier gown. Designed especially for you.

I don't, uh...

[sighs]

[exhales]

I can't get married today, Elaine.

Look, I know that this situation is not ideal.

-[sighs] -But the guests are here. [chuckles]

People have flown in from all over the world.

[Lily] I am so sorry.

That just does not seem important to me at all right now.

It will, Lily.

Listen...

I'm not suggesting that you forget about your friend.

But when you think back on your wedding day,

do you want it to be you and Jeffrey in front of some judge at City Hall?

Is that what you want?

If you don't get married today,

I'm afraid that's what it's gonna be.

Everybody's here for you. Today.

Jordan, you okay?

Sorry. Stupid question.

What are you going to do? I mean, now.

I don't know. Uh...

Anybody staying with you?

No.

I could maybe get a few days off.

No. Thanks.

Find out what happened.

Please.

Ah. Nice digs.

Oh. Thanks.

Yeah.

I'm glad you're here. [chuckles]

Me, too.

And maybe we could be a little late for the party.

I'm sorry, um... [clicks tongue]

Maid of honor duties.

Hmm.

Besides, we have all night.

More than that, I hope.

Uh, you could just give me, uh, five minutes to get changed.

It's Pollack's.

Last night it was on his key chain, today it was on mine.

Why would he put it on yours?

I don't know.

You okay?

Aside from the indictment?

-Sorry. I just... -No, it's okay. I know.

-I'm not here. -[door closes]

Wha... What?

[door opens]

Jordan's out on bail.

Yeah, yeah, I heard.

The judge set a restriction, if she shows up in the morgue, her bail's revoked.

So do her a favor and make sure she doesn't.

-I would... I would never... -Of course you would.

You two are thick as thieves, and she's Jordan.

She won't be able to sit back and let us do our jobs.

-It's for her own good, Nigel. -Okay, okay.

And you might want to get an extension on your tux rental.

Sounds like Lily's gonna postpone the wedding.

She's calling off the wedding?

Are you crazy?

-Get out! -I came up the freight elevator.

-Out! Get out. -No one saw me. Nigel, I'm gone.

As soon as you show me what's on that flash drive.

Please, Nige.

I can't read it on my laptop.

[sighs]

A mistrustful bloke, wasn't he? He's encrypted his files.

How long will it take to decode them?

Uh, just go, go. I'll call you. I'll... I'll call.

What are you hoping to find?

We might've missed something. It happens.

Okay, then let's go over it again.

You want to go back to the hotel?

Woody, the evidence says she did it.

She believes she did it.

You're gonna have to find a way to accept it.

You act like you don't even know her.

You wanted on this case. This is what it is.

Then I made a mistake.

'Cause I won't help you bring her down.

[upbeat music playing]

Jordan.

What can I do? I want to help.

Don't call off your wedding.

What kind of friend would I be if I didn't?

This day has already been horrible enough. Don't make it worse.

You finally found the guy you want to spend the rest of your life with.

Don't let me screw that up for you, please.

Anything else I can do?

Can you remember what I've forgotten?

Any chance tox could be wrong?

I had a couple of martinis last night. They were strong.

[Pollack] Now that's what I'm talking about.

-Thanks. -Thank you.

Wow!

Uh, yeah, that's not a girlie drink. Gin martini.

I'm no girl.

Fine, I'll have your, uh, Appletini instead.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

[Nigel] Jordan. Photographs.

Pollack had photographs on his flash drive.

Of what?

Autopsy files. Four of them.

All from our cold case files. All murders.

-Whose? -No one I know.

Bug and I didn't work on it. Neither did you.

How did J.D. get them?

Did you go in the cold case room yesterday?

No.

Well, your access card was used. Where do you keep it?

Um, in my desk.

[Pollack] I'm not snooping. Looking for aspirin.

[Nigel] He stole your card, used it to get into the cold case room,

photographed four old autopsy files, put them on his flash drive,

put his flash drive on your key ring.

He wanted you to find them.

Or he wanted someone else not to find them.

Someone who tried to drug him.

I drank Pollack's drink. There must've been something in it.

It's the last thing I remember.

But the tox screen...

There are thousands of drugs we don't screen for.

What was he doing?

Gunshot. Arson death. Asphyxiation.

Vehicular homicide.

[Nigel] I got the computer cross-referencing the victims,

jobs, addresses, families...

[Jordan] Four random murders.

Different times, different places. I don't get it.

Hey, we'll figure it out.

First time I meet him, he's breaking into the morgue,

trying to get information he shouldn't have. Taking illegal photos.

He was using me then. Nothing's changed.

You don't know that.

He's right. You don't.

Well, maybe that's what we were fighting about.

Computer's found a connect.

Oh, never mind. It's...

What?

All the murders happened in Massachusetts.

[knock at door]

[Jeffrey] Lily?

Do we really want him to find us doing this?

Not till we get something solid.

Hey.

-Hey. -Everything okay in there?

-Uh, no... -Oh.

Jordan's not doing very well.

Oh. Well, should I maybe go in and talk to...

No, no, no. That's not such a good idea.

Uh, okay...

Well, look, uh...

I want to give you all the space you need. But, um...

The caterer's here.

And he wants to start setting up.

And the photographer's due in a half hour.

So I just...

I need to know what I should be telling everybody.

I'll be ready by 6:00.

[chuckles]

Okay.

Yeah. [chuckles]

I'm not done yet.

You know, you didn't have to arrest her.

Are you kidding?

I feel as bad as you do, but this is open-and-shut.

Look at these internal injuries. Bruising on his lungs.

-And? -He had a fight with somebody.

A physical fight, punches thrown. About a week ago.

Are you trying to dredge up somebody else with motive?

Investigative reporters make enemies.

Jordan was in the room, Jordan was covered with his blood,

Jordan had the gun in her hand.

Dr. Macy, I know that this is hard on everybody...

I'll testify about this, and a good defense attorney can run with it.

This doesn't come anywhere near reasonable doubt.

But I will look into it.

Thank you.

I got it.

No, really.

All four cases, solid evidence of murder.

You all said that, right? Clear-cut.

Okay, what's your point?

All of the accused were acquitted.

So?

Same judge presided over all four cases.

[Kapoor] "Judge Clarence Gordon."

Yeah, Boston Superior Court judge,

recently appointed to the Federal Bench

in D.C.

Where Pollack spent the last three months.

Some son of a bitch drugged that drink,

murdered J.D., and framed me.

All because of something that Pollack found out about this judge.

We need to identify the drug in that drink.

Okay, Bug, you go back to the morgue,

start a tox marathon on my blood sample.

Nige, come with me.

Oh, Lily, go get married.

[door closes]

[exhales]

This isn't how I thought my wedding day would be.

Me, either.

Do you know in Judaism,

a couple is supposed to say a cleansing prayer before they get married,

so that they can start their marriage off on a clean slate?

That sounds good.

I'm supposed to say that prayer in a few hours,

and I just lied to Jeffrey about what we were doing in here.

That wasn't exactly a lie.

Jordan's our friend.

I am about to marry Jeffrey. Why couldn't I trust him?

You should go.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Nothing but soap residue.

What did you expect? They're washed in 250-degree water.

Can I put them away now?

Could rinse 'em a little better.

What're you looking for, anyway?

Uh, the party last night. Anyone behind the bar who shouldn't have been there?

No.

Are you sure? It was pretty busy back there.

What if somebody wanted to slip something into a drink?

That's what this is about?

Couldn't happen from back here.

Drinks made for people at the bar are given right to them.

What if they're made for somebody at a table?

They go on a tray. Servers pick them up.

So someone could do it there.

Too bad the only camera in the place is pointed directly at the cash register.

Well, that's not the only camera. There are three hidden ones.

-Where? -One over the serving area,

uh, one fish-eye up there, and, uh, one in that hallway to the restrooms.

Uh, is there any way we can get the video from these cameras?

[telephone ringing]

Cops took it all. Excuse me.

We may not be able to ID the drug,

but we ought to be able to find the bastard who drugged the drink.

Now, Jordan, the police have the video.

You really think you can talk Lu into letting us have it on a hunch?

[door slams]

Jordan.

What are you doing here?

I need that surveillance tape from the bar last night.

-I don't have it. -You can get it.

Why do you want it?

I drank Pollack's drink. It was drugged.

-Jordan, what're you doing? -He was working on a story.

-Reporters do that. -Yeah, about a judge.

Why would somebody drug his drink because of that?

I don't know yet. Just work with me here.

Nothing showed up on your tox screen.

Somebody slipped a knockout dose of something into his drink.

I need that video.

I took myself off the case.

I didn't wanna help them put you away.

Then get me that tape.

What are you doing?

My, uh, cell phone.

I'm thinking maybe that I left it here.

It's on your belt.

Oh. [chuckles]

-So it is. -Yeah.

There's no way around the evidence, Woody,

depending on what you're doing to it right now.

You think I'd tamper with this stuff?

I think that you would do anything for her.

Is that what this is about? Your jealousy?

Is that's why you're going after her so hard?

I have bent over backwards to be fair to her.

Anybody else, I would've arrested them on the spot. I never even cuffed her.

What are you doing in my office?

Here's your inventory list.

Go ahead, check everything. Knock yourself out.

And when you're finished, you can search me.

We done here?

Yeah.

I mean, are we done?

[door slams]

Just how much trouble is Woody gonna be in

-if we get caught with this video? -Yeah, what about us?

There.

Right there. That's where I took Pollack's drink. Back it up.

[Nigel] No, she's not putting anything in the drink.

[Jordan] Okay, making her way back to our table... Stop.

What is it?

[Jordan] There. [Nigel] What are we looking at?

[Jordan] Lance, the bartender. He... He's staring at us.

Look, there's tons of people in that place. Why is he watching us?

There were a lot of people watching you last night.

Yeah, when you look like you look, people look.

Go back.

[Kapoor] You just saw his hands. Nothing.

No, it was him. He was the only one who could've spiked that drink.

-Jordan, don't go crazy, okay? -I'm not going crazy.

Don't... No, don't go off some half-baked notion...

Are you out of your mind?

Garret, we're onto something here. I did not shoot him.

Where did you get that?

The hotel.

Think about changing your answer to something resembling the truth.

And you get the hell out of here.

-Garret, please... -Get out.

You can't turn her in, Dr. Macy. They'll revoke her bail.

-Now you think of that? -Do you want to know what we found out?

I'm not surprised at Nigel, but what the hell are you thinking about...

What are you gonna do, fire us?

What difference does it make where we found the damn thing?

Detective Simmons took all the security tape from the bar...

-Look, you don't understand. -She sure as hell didn't give it to you.

-We've got something on here! -And she didn't give it to Jordan.

-I am this close to firing you... -Will you listen to me?

[Macy] Do you understand that? [Nigel] Just listen!

[typing]

A judge who presided over a bunch of acquittals?

What's that got to do with anything?

I knew it was here. Where did you get it?

I stole it.

I know who stole it. I want to know how it got to you.

You'll tell me, or you'll tell the judge.

Thanks, guys.

Calm down, I'll tell you whatever you want to know.

Just don't come in here and threaten my people, Detective.

* Life is so cruel Without you here beside me*

* Un-break my heart*

* Say you'll love me again*

[Simmons] Was she here?

That would be a violation of her bail terms.

So you're telling me that when I run prints on this,

Jordan's prints won't be on it?

We are all after the same thing,

the truth.

The bruising on Pollack's lungs?

He was in a car accident last week in D.C.

No one beat him up.

[Nigel sighs] I'm worried about Jordan. I don't want to be here.

[Macy] Well, you know, suck it up, it's for Lily.

You're lucky you're not groveling in front of a judge right now.

Lu's gotten a warrant for Jordan.

For violating her bail restrictions.

Then we should go find her.

I went to her apartment, she wasn't there.

I left half a dozen messages for her. Where's Bug?

Hmm. Decided not to come.

[lively chatter]

[chatter stops]

Excuse me.

That's not the dress.

I am so sorry.

I can't do this.

Okay.

Okay?

It was wrong to push. Yet...

The wedding doesn't have to be today.

We can postpone.

I don't mean that I can't marry you today.

[sniffles]

I'm so sorry.

Excuse me, uh...

I am so sorry.

Uh, Jeffrey and I are so grateful

that all of you came here to be with us on this...

To be with us today.

But... And this is completely my fault.

Please, please do not blame him. He is a wonderful man.

I just...

I... I can't.

The wedding is off. I'm sorry.

Wow.

[crowd murmuring]

You killed him.

I didn't do anything.

You drugged his drink.

No.

Then why'd you stop?

You didn't do it, you would've kept on walking.

[groans]

[Jordan] I drank that drink.

While I was passed out, someone came into my room and shot him.

-[coughing] -Someone who put that gun in my hand,

and knew I wouldn't remember a thing.

It wasn't me! I didn't kill him! [groaning]

Who was it?

Some guy... [groans]

Gave me the powder, he paid me 1,000 bucks.

-What guy? -No names.

-Did he say why? -No.

-Judge Gordon. Clarence Gordon. Ring a bell? -No.

-Washington, D.C.? -[coughing, grunts]

[gunshots]

[panting]

[gunshots]

* I've been loving you*

* Too long*

* To stop now*

Lily?

Why aren't you at my wedding?

I...

couldn't watch you marry him.

Why aren't you at your wedding?

I couldn't marry him.

Why not?

He's not you.

[Woody] Found this hotel ID in his wallet.

[Macy] He's the bartender.

[Woody] The one Jordan thinks drugged her? [Macy] Yeah, that's the guy.

[Macy] Two gunshot wounds to the chest.

From the amount of blood, I'd say it's a severed aorta.

No witnesses.

[Nigel] Plenty of prints, though.

Run them against Jordan's.

Not your case, Detective.

The victim worked at the same hotel where Pollack was murdered,

and Jordan thought he might've been involved.

You really think the world's that small?

I think it proves Jordan was right.

Pollack wasn't murdered over some lovers' quarrel.

There's something bigger going on here.

Where is she?

She's now a fugitive. Do you want to be an accessory?

I have no idea where she is.

[computer beeping]

Whose prints?

Jordan's.

[man] I don't have guns.

That's not what I heard.

You heard wrong.

-[keys jingle] -[unlocks]

Run you 500.

That is 500.

That was to see it.

[phone ringing]

Jordan, Lance Cooke is dead, and your prints are all over him.

So, [sighs] I don't need to tell you how this looks.

Now's not the time to do anything stupid.

So just... just turn yourself in, and, you know...

Your friends are here for you. We'll... we'll help you through this.

All right, so just call me.

[theme music playing]
