Previously on WISP

The road for us...

Was rocky from the start

It's late Linc...

Yeah, well Gray had me working another crime scene

Is that all she's working?

We've got to warn the public

As far as uh... anyone is concerned.

This is NOT a serial killer

What's on your mind?

You... you're all I think about anymore

And catch the guy yourself? Right...

You put me in front of those people!

Now Brent... please...

No inter-office relationships along the way.

Please

If you're talking about the Commissioner, she's not my type

I'm glad you're that strong

(Evil Laughter)

(Lincoln Help Me!)

(Lincoln!) Let her go!

I can't help you.

Lincoln Help Me!

I can't help you...

Lincoln... Help Me!

Run! Run Katherine... Run!

There's nothing I can do

Run Katherine! Run!

Lincoln Help me!

Run Katherine, Run!

(Let Her Go!)

I'm glad you're still here

I'm glad you're still here honeybee...

Hey, how's it going?

Good. Can I help you?

Yeah, do you need a ride?

No, I'm okay. Thank you though.

You sure?

Yeah.

(Where you going?) I'm going down town.

(Well I'm going down town. Why don't you come with me?

I'm okay. My bus should be here any minute.

(Are you sure?)

I'm quite alright. Thank you though. (Alright)

I told you, it wasn't my fault. He's the one that started it.

Well you're the one that I caught, so keep it moving. (Yeah right Copper)

This is the canvas report you asked for.

Hey, that's great.

Let me save you some time.

Sure. Go on.

Well there are a couple of early morning deliveries

There's two restaurants that use that alley

Mallory's body had to be put there between...

5300:04:12:2500:04:13:255 and 6

And how do we know that?

Because where her body was found...

Is the spot where the Pizza Delivery truck turns around.

So that garbage pile isn't normally there.

Exactly.

And what about the Delivery Truck? What about the timing on that?

It arrives around 5:00 - leaves around 5:30

It's been a point of contention between Bennies Pizza

And the Cold Cone, because they both require early morning deliveries

The delivery trucks would arrive at the same time...

And they would threaten each other.

(Scoff) Go figure.

So it's pretty safe to say, based on all that...

Somewhere between 5:30 and 6:00

That's what I meant.

And the added garbage?

Beats me.

How about a guess?

Oh, I'm being quizzed?

Not officially

Oh right. Well...

He's a garbage truck driver.

I got that.

What do you say we look at this a little less literally, and maybe more...

Symbolically?

You mean literally symbolically.

He dumped the garbage in...

And put her body on it like it was a bed. But why?

It's pretty safe to say he wanted us to find her.

And he's so confident in his abilities as a killer...

That he's willing to present his victims on a silver platter

Figuring that he'll never get caught.

So the garbage is his?

He's not sloppy.

You know I noticed in the first paragraph of the first statement that...

The party you interviewed saw something

A little after 6:00

Damn it. I didn't even notice that.

It's alright.

What do you say you make another run back over there and talk to these people again?

Maybe they saw something else.

Help us out with a vehicle ID or something. Anything.

Okay.

Oh and Brent...

Yeah?

You're doing a great job.

Thanks.

Oh, by the way

You have an eye witness here to interview.

Harbottle?

(Laughs) Third time this month.

Ooooh...

Do you know?

That's she's accused just about everyone in this town that she doesn't care for?

And now that she's found out it's a serial killer...

She's gonna have me running down there to arrest her dog groomer.

(Laughs) Sucks to be you man.

Oh boy...

Detective Frost?

Mrs Harbottle would like to make a statement.

Again.

Thanks Ken.

Have a seat Mrs Harbottle

Thank you Detective.

How are you doing today Detective?

I'm fine, thank you Mrs Harbottle.

I like your tie today. It really brings out your eyes.

Thank you Mrs Harbottle

So, who's the killer...

I like your shirt too... it's new, I haven't seen it

I've actually worn this for about a year and half Mrs Harbottle

So, who is the killer today?

Cliff. My mechanic

Cliff?

I know Cliff.

He's no killer.

He's charging me to rebuild my engine, which isn't even needed.

Mrs Harbottle, I've got an awful lot on my plate here.

I don't have time to follow up on any more of these false leads you bring me

And Cliff of all people!

Maybe I'll just call that nice man in the van.

The really clean van you couldn't smoke in.

Yes... that sounds like a good idea.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Did I mention to you that I have kids?

No, you never painted Lincoln as the 'Father Type'.

Oh, they're not with Lincoln

From a previous marriage, but...

That was a mostly unhappy life for me

Do you see them often?

I don't see them at all actually

My oldest is in college.

Or so I hear.

But...

My ex is a raging alcoholic so I had to...

I had to get out of there.

You left your kids with him?

Well the plan was to get custody.

But then he sobered up, and...

My moving didn't look good to the courts

So that must make me look like a real pathetic mom, huh?

I'm not gonna lie.

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

You're human.

You make mistakes. The past is the past.

Before I met you...

I was in a dark place.

"Depressed" doesn't cover it.

I would just...

Do anything I could do - just to feel.

Drugs... Booze.

Women.

Nothing...

Nothing...

I just got tired.

Then I went to that bridge on 9

Looking down at that black water

I couldn't even commit to that.

(Sniffle)

So, my therapist gave me some meds.

To take the edge off.

And, uh...

Then I met you.

I don't care about your past.

For the first time...

I'm looking to the future.

(Heavy Sigh)

Let's do that thing we did before, because...

I felt that.

(Cell Phone Buzzing)

(Cell Phone Buzzing)

Hey Brent

I apologize for calling so late, but The Commissioner called a press conference for tomorrow

Oh yeah?

Yeah, I thought it was kind of strange that she waited until after you left

To tell the rest of us to get our materials together for it.

Yeah, well...

It's pretty obvious, she's just trying to catch me flat footed.

Fire me.

Then bring in another Inspector

She's just a bitch.

Yep

Well now she can't, because you know.

I waited until after she left, and then I put the reports in your desk drawer.

Say you're there late tonight.

Yeah I just left. I'm covering for Wilkes.

Well I'm home now Brent, I'm gonna go along inside.

Gonna try and get some time with the wife. You know how it is. We've been a little like...

Ships in the night, I guess you might say.

Yep I understand. Go be a good husband, and I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Thanks Brent.

No problem Inspector.

What's going on?

No...

No - You've got to give me a chance.

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

I'm done talking Lincoln.

That time's past. And I"m not going to be put on the back burner any longer.

But you know that...

That working this case, is not how it always is.

Lincoln - you are married to your work!

But you knew who I was when you married me.

What?

I thought you would change.

Really?

What ever happened to, "I love a man in uniform"?

That stopped being cute

When you refused to take it off

Cute?

Well here's some 'cute' for you.

Criminals! I need you to all be good boys.

So I can spend a lot more time with my wife

Who seems to need a lot more attention

Then she ever let on

And that's what this is all about.

Lincoln...

You are an ass.

Huh.

Name calling again.

I'm not taking your crap anymore!

Hah!

So what are you going to do? You gonna go back to your ex?

You gonna go over to your family that never talks with you?

They don't talk to you for a reason you know.

Lincoln..

I've met somebody

Oh.

You... sneak.

When did this happen?

When you weren't paying attention.

Which seems to be all the time.

And this man cares about me

He takes care of my needs

Something you haven't done - in a very long time!

I'm sorry I don't come home every day, and screw your brains out in there.

People are dying out there!

Don't you think that's a little more important than your little...

Whatever it is you're going thru now?

I don't know Lincoln, but...

It's not half as sorry as I am.

You... you know - that we had...

We had disappointments - we had...

Disagreements - we had it all going on at the beginning

But we sorted thru it all

Honeybee, I need you here

Don't call me Honeybee! I'm done!

(News Music)

In breaking news, a body was discovered this morning

In an alley between Peach and State Streets

While the authorites have not yet released the victims identity

Or the cause of death at this time

There is a wide public speculation

About the disapearance of several young women in this area

The most recent being Mallory Hayes

Who was last seen at a local grocery store only 4 days ago

Is the City of Erie once again under siege of a serial murderer?

With no word from the Police, there's lots of speculation, but no real answers

We'll be following the story as it unfolds.

I'm Kelly Douglass and you're watching Channel 2 News

Yeah, I'm on my way to you.

Well, he took it about as good as can be expected.

Well, the train should be here soon so...

We'll be together soon.

Okay... bye.

(Lincoln Help Me!)

Next Time On "WISP"

Grey's asked me to call you to come in

Well I was planning on it, a little later.

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

Stop whatever you're doing - and come in.

You're starting to scare me now

Do you have an alibi?

What do I need an alibi for?

We found her body.

Who's body?

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

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

Are you sure?

Positive. That was it for the night

If what you're saying is - Grey was at the end of the story...

Where's the beginning?
