Well, gentlemen, it's her.

Good god, are you sure?

Why didn't she ever show up before this?

Look at her teeth, hmm?

She's got meth mouth.

She's a full-on addict. She's probably
happy people thought she was dead.

- Go get chief Johnson, please.
- Yes, sir.

The jury convicted Bill Croelick
of killing this woman years ago.

Right. Well, the jury
was wrong, apparently,

because she died this
morning of an overdose.

But... but... listen to me.
We know Croelick is a murderer.

He's burned to death
at least one other girl.

For which he was tried and found
not guilty. Get to the point.

My point is, if you release
this information to the press

and Johnson can't get
a confession out of him,

Croelick walks out of prison a free man

not because he's innocent of murder

but because we misidentified his victim.

What's the alternative?

Do us a favor.

Send this girl to the
crematorium as a Jane Doe.

Keep Croelick in prison.

Don't damage the
reputation of our department

to let a killer go free.

Here is the favor i will do for you.

I will forget you said that.

Sorry to keep you waiting, chief.

About 3 years ago, we found
a body badly burned in a car.

Lieutenant Flynn.

Through dental records, we
I.D.'d the vic as Lisa Barnes.

I worked the case, arrested
a freak... Bill Croelick.

He has a history of
barbecuing his victims.

He sits on death row as we speak.

So what's the problem?

The problem is,

this is the Lisa Barnes who Croelick
was convicted of burning up 3 years ago.

She died this morning at 11:00 of
methamphetamine related heart failure.

So a man's been sitting in
prison for the last 3 years

for killing a woman...

Who died 6 hours ago.

Yeah.

So who did Bill Croelick kill?

That's what we need
Priority Homicide to find out

before we have to release him.

Thank you.

Here's how it'll work.

Janet Powell, the deputy
D.A. who prosecuted Croelick

will call his defense counsel

who in turn will immediately
petition the court

for a writ of habeas corpus.

And the D.A. won't oppose that motion?

Well, they'll do what they can,

but the conviction was based

on tying Croelick to Lisa Barnes

not just through his M.O.,

but also through her physical
and personal characteristics.

Everybody's sure he killed somebody.

Yeah, but he went to great lengths
to make sure we couldn't I.D. the vic.

Cut off her hands and
feet, set her on fire twice,

pushed her off a cliff in a car.

Sounds thorough.

In order to arrest Croelick again,

we have to connect him to the
young lady he actually murdered.

And we may only have 48
hours before he walks.

You want me to take a dry run at it?

Maybe, but, uh...

this guy's not your
run-of-the-mill psychopath.

Thanks, Sara.

He never said a word
after he was arrested,

never spoke at his own trial,

listens intently to his attorney.

And he's been studying law in prison.

Well, i'll be extra polite.

Yeah and extra careful, too.

Please.

You're, uh, kind of his type.

Deputy D.A. Powell here
prosecuted Mr. Croelick.

She can explain some of the mistakes
made in the original I.D. process.

Oh, and Ms. Powell, if you
could start with a few words

about the body we found yesterday.

Lisa Barnes grew up in Fresno,

moved to the Miracle Mile area
of L.A. in '98, married in '99.

Somewhere in the next year,
she picked up a meth habit.

Her husband reported
her missing in 2000.

In june '02, we discovered the
burned-out shell of a stolen car.

Inside of it was the charred
remains of Lisa Barnes.

Of who you thought was Lisa Barnes.

It was a reasonable assumption.

I found Lisa's driver's
license at the scene.

Did you run the dental records of the
corpse through the missing persons database?

- No, but we had...
- Lieutenant Tao, would you mind compiling a list

of all the missing females in the
Los Angeles area during the crime.

You got it.

There was no need to run a search.

- We had a positive I.D.
- Made by whom?

Dr. Nelson Grayton, L.A. County's chief Forensic
odontologist. He checked 3 of the corpse...

Sergeant Gabriel, could you arrange
a chat with Mr. Grayton, please?

- Yeah. Right on it.
- Thank you. So sorry to interrupt.

Go on, Ms. Powell.

And on top of everything else,
Lisa was Croelick's type...

Blonde, small, pretty in
that common sort of a way.

In fact, she looked very
much like the other woman

I prosecuted him for killing.

In 2000, we... sorry. Who's "we"?

It was my case, too.

Another woman, burned-out car,

also missing her hands
and feet. Petite, blonde.

A little on the trashy side.

Anna Tandy.

We had no leads,

and then a witness came forward.

A witness knew Anna, but more
importantly, she knew Anna's boyfriend.

Bill Croelick?

A witness placed Croelick at the car

the night Anna was murdered,

and afterwards, when he was drunk,

he confessed to her what he had done.

Unfortunately, 4 days into the trial...

Your witness overdosed
before she could testify.

After our witness died, i was left
with a lot of circumstantial data,

deposition, and Dr. Easton, who
did Croelick's psych evaluation.

I want to stress the fact that my
testimony in the case of Lisa Barnes

was based on facts that have changed.

I was not a part of this inquiry.

Understood, Dr. Easton.

Myself, detective Flynn, Dr. Easton...

Croelick's acquittal made us sick.

With Lisa Barnes, we had
another chance to put him away.

So the doctor here had 2
chances to profile Croelick.

I did.

I even wrote about him.

Criminals and their
victims: a cycle of violence.

Croelick made an interesting chapter.

I kept visiting him
after the first trial.

I think it flattered him.

Do you think Croelick
killed our Jane Doe?

Well, based on the
similarities to his prior crime,

I'd say yes.

Please.

Both murders demonstrated the hallmarks

of a highly organized,
sexually aggressive killer,

and though i'm not an expert on this,

they found his fingerprints

on a stainless steel
lighter on the scene.

Oh, i'm sorry. Don't mean to be rude.

You want some? They're sugarless.

My wife buys them for our children.
Thanks. And even by the carton.

Well, i only have about 5 minutes
before i have to interview this guy,

so i should probably get to the basics.

What is he?

A borderline sociopath.

You know, knows the difference
between right and wrong.

Smart. I kind of feel for him.

The pattern's so formulaic.

His father started dropping acid

when Croelick was 5 years old

and ended up killing Billy's
mother in front of him

by holding her face down on a lit stove.

She was blonde, too, his mother?

She was, and so is every
woman he's ever dated.

And they're all drug users, too.

Croelick's way of reuniting the family.

And after the parents died?

He went from foster home to foster home,

becoming ever more violent.

For example, he forced one family's cat

to swallow an M-80 firecracker.

The cat burst into flames.

A year later, he beat another
child with a hot curling iron,

which earned him 2 years
of juvenile detention.

And after his release, he branded
his name onto a girl's forearm

during intercourse.

He'd become sexually aroused
by the smell of burning flesh.

He fantasizes about it.

And of course he smokes, 3 packs a day.

I used to have my office
fumigated after his visits.

And he's here, waiting.

God, this guy makes me sick. Why is
she questioning him without an attorney?

Declined counsel. I mirandized him
on the way in from the elevator.

Well, that's a break, at least.

You need a wingman? No, thanks.

I think i'll have more
luck on my own. Ok.

Are you sure you want to do that?

I don't know.

Well. Hello, William.

Oh, it's Bill. It's just plain Bill.

All right, just plain
Bill. I'm just plain Brenda.

L.A.P.D.

I think Bill and i will get
along better just one-on-one,

so if y'all don't mind. Thanks.

Well, this is a turn of events, huh?

I wasn't here 3 years ago,

but i heard you pled not guilty
to the murder of Lisa Barnes.

It turns out you were telling the truth.

But you know what?

I think you do know who
burned to death in that car,

just plain Bill.

And i was wondering if you'd do
me a favor and tell me her name,

because even though you don't
want to see Ms. Powell again,

she's agreed that if
you I.D. the victim,

she'll make the capital
part of your sentence go away

and you won't have to face
the death penalty anymore.

You'll even be eligible for parole.

So all you have to do
is tell me the truth.

Since you asked me so nice and all

and since you're just... oh, you're
just cute as a bug, ain't ya? Heh!

Uh... i'll tell you the truth.

Do you want to hear it?

In 28 hours, i'm gonna be
100% free and drunk off my ass,

and there isn't one damn thing that you

or anyone else can do about it.

And, you know, why should i talk to you

when Katie Couric
sent me a fruit basket?

Extraordinary. Something's
different about him.

Yeah. And it's who he's talking to.

I do want to thank you very much

for your southern hospitality.

See, i knew you weren't alone.

'Cause, you know, cute girls
like you, you're never alone.

But i do so hope we
meet each other again.

I never forget a face.

It was wonderful to meet
you, just plain Brenda.

Likewise.

Hello.

I'm afraid i'm the bearer of some,

well, unique news.

Mr. Barnes, it seems that your
first wife Lisa, she's dead.

Well, yes. I know that.

Excuse me.

Is that the emergency you
called us in to explain?

You wanted to tell
Roy that Lisa is dead?

Again.

I mean, she wasn't murdered 3 years ago.

She just died yesterday
of a drug overdose.

Roy, tell me you didn't know about this.

No. Of course i didn't
know about this, all right?

I spoke at her funeral, for god sakes.

I mean, or somebody's
funeral. I don't know.

Whose funeral was it? Good god!

Did you pay for that funeral? We
should get reimbursed for that.

Look, can i see her body?

- No way are you seeing her!
- Kimberly, hold on!

Why would you even ask that?

It's just that i just want to make sure

that it was really her, and...

I just don't want to keep
going through this again.

I promise. This is the absolutely
last time that Lisa will die,

and we already have a
positive I.D. on the body,

so we don't need you to see her again.

I'm sorry. It's just that i
was so sure last time, you know?

I was at the trial, and... and...

if it wasn't her, where
has she been all this time?

Eventually we'll be able to
answer all your questions,

but for right now, we're under
a bit of a time constraint,

and what i need is for
you to give me back...

You want to swap bodies.

Well, the good news is,
Lisa's in much better shape.

Well, we don't want it.

Kimberly, honey, please.

Don't "honey" me.

You have always been
obsessed with that woman.

So help me, god, i am not going through

another burial and 3 years of mourning.

We are happy with the way things are.

Actually, you know, Roy was
still married at your wedding.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Look,

my wife Lisa was declared dead, ok?

I have the death certificate.

So do i. Mine's a little more recent,

and it could cause all
sorts of legal problems.

You might need to get your marriage
annulled, have another ceremony,

or we could, uh, swap the dead girls,

call it even. What do you say?

Oh, my god. That woman has
never been anything but trouble.

Sign it and let's just get it over with.

Can you at least tell me who it
was that i buried 3 years ago?

Oh, i wish i could.

Doesn't this look like fun, huh?

Did some of her fall over there?

Sergeant Gabriel, a little help, please.

Now you expect me to identify this...

What do we call this? Jane Doe?

The body formerly known as Lisa Barnes.

Doctor, we are under a
tremendous time pressure here

with only a few hours
left to I.D. the body.

Maybe she should see a dentist.

Hold this. Ow!

I got a specimen jar right here.

I wasn't asked to identify the victim.

I was asked to confirm the
identity we already had.

So you had an excuse to be sloppy.

Croelick had been
held for almost 2 days.

Flynn told me that if i didn't
confirm the identity of his victim

- within 45 minutes...
- Hey, asshole,

no one asked you to lie.

I didn't lie. It's not my fault.

No finger pointing, please. Facts.

Lisa Barnes was a meth user.

You know what that does to your mouth?

Teeth take on the
consistency of ripe fruit.

Right. So i wasn't surprised

when i had only 3 good
molars to work with.

It is consistent with Lisa
Barnes having meth mouth.

Or being roasted at 1500 degrees.

Vere's the x-rays of
the 3 teeth in the jar.

And here are the only
x-rays i had at the time

of Lisa Barnes' correlating molars.

Now, you see how similar
the roots of the teeth are?

The height of the bone,
the absence of filling.

And with Flynn pushing me.

What would be the benefit
of more time, doctor?

Well, for one thing, i might have
found Lisa Barnes' more recent x-rays.

They look alike to me.

Yeah, well, they're not.

You see how white that
area of the tooth is?

Mm-hmm. That's a
brand-new filling.

Now, you compare that to
the teeth in the jar...

No filling.

Jesus.

I have a deal with HBO.
It's a documentary deal.

I would appreciate another chance

to identify who these
teeth actually belong to.

Thank you so much for the offer, doctor,

but i think i'd like a second opinion.

- Uh, chief?
- Yeah.

Grayton is the only Forensic
dentist in L.A. County.

I can't base another
case on his assumptions.

We'll find someone else.

Before Croelick walks, we
have maybe an hour left.

I can tell the time,
lieutenant. Thank you.

Oh, man. 1000 bucks says i'm
gonna be wearing this bullshit.

Thanks for hurrying.

Oh, don't you look handsome today!

Ok. We know our Jane Doe
was white, early thirties,

probably dropped out of
sight about 3 years ago.

These 40 missing women fit the profile.

All i need from you is an expert
to go over these dental records,

match them with these teeth,

and tell me which
missing person she was.

Ok. I'll bite.

What's wrong with your odontologist?

He's the reason we got the
wrong I.D. in the first place.

Brenda, how many cases
has this guy worked on?

Oh, i don't want to talk
about that right now.

No, no, no. Because if
this is true, if it gets out

that your guy's just making
it up as he goes along,

Croelick's not the only
criminal who's going free.

Every defendant from every
trial this moron testified at

can sue to have their cases reopened.

I know. That's why shh, shh! Ok?

Shh! I can do. Fast, i don't know.

I'll try.

Should i stop in there
and wave at the guys?

No. You should hurry and help me.

Please, hurry. Thank you.

Hurry.

Chief? Chief?!

You have a visitor.

Just wanted to say goodbye

and how nice it was meeting you,

just plain deputy chief
Brenda Leigh Johnson.

Whoa! Got yourself a nice, big office...

A bunch of men working for you.

It's not at all how i
thought of you before.

Sort of a turn-off.

Not every fantasy comes true, huh?

Why don't you sit down, take a
load off? I'd love to talk to you.

I'm sorry. My lawyer's
waiting for me downstairs,

but some other time, maybe.

Count on it.

The one time we absolutely
needed Miss Atlanta

to get a confession, she blows it.

Here's what i'm wondering. Flynn
basically got his promotion off this case.

Think he might have worked the evidence?

I'm beginning to think he did.

That's because she's
treating him like a criminal.

And our experts, too.

If she had spent as much
time trying to I.D. the vic

as she did running down
the people who work for us,

maybe this guy Croelick
wouldn't be on the streets.

Yeah, or if you'd handled this case

correctly the first
time, but that's the past.

I'd like to solve the
problem we have now.

Getting this guy Croelick

is going to take teamwork.

But how are we going to assemble a team

with chief Johnson in charge?

The FBI hates her.

The D.A. hates her.

The Forensic specialists hate her.

Everybody wants Croelick back in prison,

but nobody's going to help her do it.

All right. Well, how would you
suggest i change that dynamic?

Commander Scott retired.

Reduce chief Johnson to his rank.

You will send a clear
and unambiguous signal

that you are aware of the issue

and that we here at L.A.P.D.

are serious about correcting it.

That's not just a reduction in rank.

That consigns her to civil service.

I don't even know if that can be done.

And i think it creates more
problems than it solves.

I want police protection!

I want my wife and kids in
protective custody right now!

Whoa, whoa, wait. Calm down.

Croelick called me on my private cell

and told me i should start
looking out for myself.

He called you, too?

You see that? I am not the only one.

Wait a minute. How can you
be so sure it was Croelick?

He identified himself. This is how
this lunatic got off the first time.

By eliminating anyone who
could testify against him!

Me and my family, my kids...

Grayton.

How much you want to bet?

Hello.

Lieutenant Tao, trace.

Yeah. Yeah. You listen
to me, you little...

Keep him on the line.

We got a call coming in on...

Just wait one second, o...

Great. He's gone.

Too short to trace. It's all right.

If that's real harassment,
we can have him arrested.

I'm already on it, chief.

Lieutenant Provenza, I want protective custody
for Dr. Grayton, Easton, and lieutenant Flynn.

Whoa, whoa, listen.

I've got all the police
protection i need right here.

I want to know what was
said by him and by you, too.

Now, in my office, please. Thank you.

What the hell are you doing here?

- I'm unarmed.
- Get down!

Get down!

Put your face on the ground.

It's all right. I know the drill.

Don't you look at me!

Sergeant Gabriel, i found Croelick.

On my porch. Be nice
if we had some company.

Thank you.

Well, you were looking for me.

Here i am.

How'd you get my address?

Why, haven't you heard? I'm a criminal.

But don't worry. As it turns
out, you're not my type.

Although i admit to
liking a fiery woman,

you're a little on the bossy side.

If you've got something private
to say to me, you'd best get to it.

Yes, ma'am.

All right. So, uh...

Someone called my attorney

saying i've made harassing phone calls,

including one to a detective

and that the police were looking for me

and since i didn't want
to end up, you know, dead,

I thought i'd save you the
trouble and turn myself in.

What makes you think you'd end up dead?

Flynn framed me for murder 3 years ago

with deputy D.A. Powell and Dr. Easton,

so clearly, i'd say, they'd
feel better if i ceased to exist.

Maybe i would, too.

Oh, but you don't know me as well.

Anyway, i don't know
what they said to you,

but i told them who i was in each call

and asked them only
what, as individuals,

they thought should happen to liars.

'Cause that's what they
did. They all lied about me.

Dr. Grayton, obviously.

In Dr. Easton's profile.

My psychological pathology
was made up out of thin air.

He was bought and paid for by Powell,

and she put me on
death row, and that's...

that's a seriously unhappy place to be,

just plain Brenda.

Lots of folks seem to
think you belonged there.

So, uh... so, sit down,

and i'll explain to you why you
shouldn't be trying to put me to death

for the murder of... uh,
who is it, by the way?

Hurry up. You're gonna
hear sirens any minute.

Well, if you look at the crime
for which i was acquitted...

- That girl, that, uh...
- Anna Tandy.

Whatever.

Anyway, she had...

Oh, there i go again.

It's a technical term for
making a fire faster, hotter?

An accelerant?

An accelerant.

Right.

She had an accelerant
poured in her mouth

before she was lit up.

Do you know why someone would do that?

Pour an accelerant
down someone's throat?

No.

Well, from what i've heard...

It makes bodies light
up like shooting stars

because of the oxygen in the lungs.

And when they die,

fire and light flow out of their bodies

like they were
jack-o-lanterns on Halloween.

Now, i bet every tax-free dollar from
the settlement the city is sure to give me

that your extra-crispy Jane Doe
was not cooked from the inside.

Uh-oh. Time's up.

What kind of an accelerant does that

without killing the victim
before the fire starts?

Well, i'd only be guessing,

but how'd you like a couple triple martinis
straight up with a strong dash of pure grain alcohol?

Chief?! Chief?!

Andy, hi! Good to see you again!

- Are you hurt?
- No. I'm fine. Fine.

We sent our dentist a couple
of uniforms this afternoon.

Yeah? Dr. Grayton?

He wasn't there. He vanished. Let's go.

Where were you, you sack of human waste!

Where were you, huh?!

You know, if my fingerprints show up

on a lighter in that dentist's pocket...

Shut up, shut up!

I'd be suspicious if i were you.

I said, shut up!

If the fire had originated
inside of your Jane Doe,

there would be evidence
of the lungs exploding.

Well, is there?

No. Whatever was left disintegrated.

Now, but this Anna girl,

a few years ago, her lungs exploded.

Do you think maybe you could
take another peek around inside?

Tell me, chief Johnson, where
exactly do you see an inside?

- Hi.
- Hey.

Would you mind coming in
here for just one second?

Is this my Jane Doe?

So much for foreplay.

Any luck on what they said
with your missing dentist?

No signs of foul play. I
think he may have skipped town.

What?

I promise that's your girl.

And she was first
reported missing june 2002.

She looks almost
exactly like Lisa Barnes.

Maybe we're about to get lucky.

Drum roll.

Here's hoping this picture
rings a bell with someone.

Her name is...

Samantha Jones.

Can we have the lights, please?

Dr. Easton, you know this woman?

She's chapter 8 in my book.

I testified at her rape trial.

And who was the arresting
officer on the case?

Ok, what's going on
here? Explain it to me.

Croelick has nothing to do
with this Samantha Jones at all?

No. No.

Samantha was raped
by some other scumbag.

And we had a hell of a time

getting her to testify against him.

I mean, the woman was unstable, needy.

I think Easton even
talked to her parents.

I told them she was about
ready to have a meltdown.

I mean, hey, you ask some
of these chicks about it,

and they would rather, like, be
murdered than sexually assaulted.

Samantha said that.
It's in Easton's records.

Some women just can't deal with rape,

and when she disappeared,

we all thought she
had committed suicide.

Well, i suppose she could have lifted

Bill Croelick's stainless
steel cigarette lighter,

making sure his prints were still on it,

made a copy of Lisa Barnes' license,

stolen a car, pushed it off a cliff,

chopping off her hands and feet

while discarding them en route

after setting fire to herself.

Maybe she trained for her
suicide at the Cirque de Soleil.

I don't know.

But it seems much more reasonable

that she was murdered

and someone planted the evidence
after the fact, doesn't it?

Actually, chief, it is possible,

listening to this from a
purely objective point of view,

that this girl Samantha
did commit suicide,

and then someone who was
familiar with the Croelick case,

Croelick's M.O.,

and understandably eager
to put this maniac away,

might have made her death look like...

Hey. What is this?

I'm just saying there's a
lot of mistakes your end.

And i just think internal affairs
should investigate this whole situation.

Do you agree?

No.

No, i don't. Not yet.

I'd like to have a private discussion
with lieutenant Flynn, if you don't mind.

You must be so happy right now.

Can't wait to see me
get ripped apart. God.

You know what? In the
general scheme of things,

you matter to me about as
much as a june bug in july.

But if you're interested in
keeping your job and your rank,

you'd better answer my
questions, lieutenant,

and without all the usual
crap i have to take from you.

3 years ago, Samantha
Jones, a rape victim,

was murdered in the same way

that Bill Croelick kills his victims.

Looks that way.

And another coincidence...

Samantha was the same
height, weight, and color

as another missing girl, Lisa Barnes,

a drug addict living on the streets.

Yeah. They do look a lot alike.

Hey, i don't know whether someone
wanted to frame Bill Croelick

or someone wanted us to think
that Lisa Barnes was dead

or someone wanted us to
misidentify Samantha Jones, ok?

Someone planted Lisa's
driver's license on the scene.

Did you do that, lieutenant?

Did you tamper with the evidence because
you saw a promotion in your future?

No.

I have an audit of your investigation.

8 print packages came
back from the crime scene.

"A" through "G"... 7 before the trial.

Those packages went to the
courthouse and "H" stayed here.

Why?

They arrived late. The case was over.

Look, the last package didn't help.

They were partials and palm prints.

You mean they didn't
match Bill Croelick's.

So? The car was stolen.

The partials could
have belonged to anyone.

The prints were on the car?

There were palm prints other
than Croelick's on the car?

Where on the car?

Over the taillight.
S.I.D. got to it late.

But they weren't material... god.

Look, there was no palm
print database back then.

And you can't find a criminal with it.

You can only match it to someone
you already have in custody.

What'd i do wrong? You tell me!

Get me the taillight of that car.

And i want all the copies of
the prints for package "H".

And you keep this information completely
to yourself, lieutenant, you understand me?

Because that is a direct order!

Yes, ma'am.

You're not gonna move
to have me investigated?

No.

Get me the print packages
off that car. Please.

Thank you.

We've done what you asked.

We've changed the bodies.
It is costing us a fortune.

What Roy went through for that bitch...

Why aren't you questioning
her family or friends?

We hated her!

As it turns out, lots of
killers hate their victims.

- Go figure.
- Wait, wait.

You're not seriously accusing
us of murder, are you?

That is just ridiculous and unfair...

You have the right to remain
silent. Why don't you use it?

Just for a minute, really!
Ma'am, inside. Please.

You... with me.

Over here.

Here's what i think is possible,
but i have absolutely no proof,

which is a bad place for me to
be when going into an interview.

Well, i understand that. But
reactions can tell me a lot.

And we still have Bill Croelick in jail?

Yeah, but all his legal
study in prison paid off.

Technically, his phone calls don't
rise to the level of harassment,

so we're gonna have to let him go.

Again.

All right, never mind.

Doctor, you'll be wearing an ear piece

when you interview these people,

and i'll be making suggestions.

Ok. So...

Let's see if this tracks.

Roy Barnes reported his wife missing.

- Fact.
- Right.

Here's another fact.

- Everyone wanted us to think that it was Lisa who died in that car.
- Right.

She'd been missing for a long
time. She was a drug addict.

It was very, very
possible that she was dead.

But Roy couldn't marry until his
wife was declared legally deceased.

Fact. What i wanna know

is if either Roy or Kimberly
or both of them together

had the ability to plan
a murder this complex.

And the emotional
coolness to pull it off.

Right. And here's the
most important thing...

I need you to get them
to grab a glass of water

and leave it in the room when they go.

Can you do that?

Well, probably, but why
leave behind the glass?

I need to get their palm prints,

but i need to do it legally.

Ok.

Buzz, could you turn on the
recording equipment in here, please,

as well as the interview rooms?

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you.

We'll be recording all this.

What did you ask me?

Oh, right. When someone leaves
their glass behind deliberately,

that means they don't
consider it theirs legally,

and i can take the prints off it

even if i don't have
probable cause to ask for it.

It's the difference between
solicitation and entrapment,

and we don't want to be
accused of entrapment.

Here you go. Doctor.

I will be right in your ear

tryin' hard not to bother you.

Ok. They're ready for their close-up.

Declined counsel on the grounds that
they're innocent and it's too expensive.

All right, Dr. Easton,

could you start with Roy here?

Lieutenant Tao, you
have everything you need?

Yes, ma'am.

Hello, Roy.

I'm Dr. Easton.

Yeah. Yeah. I remember you.

You're a psychiatrist and...

testified at Lisa's murder trial.

But Lisa wasn't murdered, was she?

Well... i mean, i don't know.

First they're saying
she was, now she's not,

- but, uh... now i'm here.
- So you're upset?

Yes!

Offer him a glass of water.

'Cause, i mean, my wife
wasn't even killed, really.

No, the victim turned out to
be someone named Samantha Jones.

Would you like...

No, no, no, no, no. Don't ask him.

Would i like a what?

Would you like to tell me

if you'd ever heard of a young
lady named Samantha Jones?

Just pour a glass of water for yourself,

and one for him...

Because she looked remarkably
like your ex-wife...

and your present one,
too, for that matter.

And?

Put it in front of him. He'll drink it.

There's a thought abroad in the land...

that you might have murdered
Samantha because she looked like Lisa,

because you wanted people
to think Lisa was dead.

What... that...

I'm sorry. That... that's ridiculous,

all right? I had no idea where Lisa was.

You know, I... I... I gave up looking for
her long before she ever turned up dead.

Thank you, doctor.

And you weren't upset when she left?

Yes. Yes, i was.

But now, i swear, i wish
i'd never even met the bitch.

I mean, she totally...

Now ask him if he wants
to take his water with him,

and if he says no, head
on into the murder room

and get ready for your next interview.

Lisa didn't used to be
that way, either. Ok?

She was a really good person once.

She was, and, uh...

Drugs can do terrible things to people.

Come on.

Come on, let me find you some tissues.

Come on.

You wanna take your water?

No. Thank you.

All right, let's go, then.

You know, questions like
this can be very stressful.

Why don't you just
take a couple of breaths

and rest here a second with, uh...

Just leave him seated at a desk,

and head on to the next interview room.

Why don't you, uh, take
a seat right here, Roy?

Which way to the, uh...

Uh, it's back down there.

Thank you.

Move slowly...

and listen...

I have a couple of questions
before you go in to see Kimberly.

Ok.

Because while she and
Roy both had a motive,

the murderer had to be someone

who knew almost exactly how
Croelick kills his victims

and someone who was in a
position to manipulate Croelick

into picking up a stainless
steel cigarette lighter

so it could be dropped
later at the crime scene...

Kind of like how you manipulated Roy

into picking up his glass just now.

And you did say Croelick smoked
a lot in your office, didn't you?

Someone who knew Samantha Jones...

and someone who might
have had special clearance

to the missing persons database

which you got in the
first trial of Anna Tandy.

Brenda, do you know what you're doing?

I'm closin' my case.

And opening a hundred more.

Do you want me to stop?

Why did you...

You tricked me.

You used false pretenses to...

What print are you trying to match?

Why are you trying to match
my print? There was nothing!

I have it!

What print are you trying to match?

It's good!

The palm print on the back of the car

Samantha Jones was in when
you pushed her off a cliff.

I warned you, doctor.

Leave the glass behind,
and you've abandoned it.

Look, you were the
only one who ever said

Samantha Jones was suicidally depressed.

She was, uh...

She threatened to talk to my wife.

I tried to make the best of it
i could! I am not a criminal.

Doctor...

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and
will be used against you

in a court of law.

Hey! Hey, come here! Come here!

Grab that son of a bitch!

Gimme your hand! Gimme your hand!

Get him up. Get him up. Get him up.

All right. All right,
all right, lieutenant!

Lieutenant! Hey! Lieutenant!
All right! All right!

I... I demand an attorney.

Yeah, well...

I'll get you a phonebook. Let's go.

You're pretty quick for a little guy.

Well, that's one arrest
that's really gonna cost her.

You wanna gloat to
someone you're close to?

Grab a mirror, captain.

I'm applying for permanent
transfer to her squad.

My, my, my.

What a lot of trouble
you caused for yourself.

And all for me.

Imagine Dr. Easton...

Having an affair with a rape victim,

then murdering her
just to keep it quiet.

What a monster,

wouldn't you say?

I don't believe in monsters.

Tell me, plain Brenda.

Do you smoke after sex?

It's an old joke. You know how it goes.

Do you smoke after sex?

I don't know. I never looked.

Well, let's just leave
it that way, shall we...

not looking?

Let's just... leave
things the way they are.

And have a nightcap on the
way home, why don't you?

Little triple martini...

in my honor.
