HEY.

I'M LOOKING FOR DETECTIVE ROGERS.

YOU CAVANAUGH? YEAH.

TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH.

TAKE ME EVEN LONGER WITH THAT ATTITUDE.

I'M JUST SAYING, THE MEAT AIN'T GETTIN' ANY FRESHER.

DON'T EVEN TRY TO TALK THE TALK.

YOU HAVEN'T BEEN AROUND LONG ENOUGH.

YEAH, WELL, IT COMES AFTER SIX MONTHS.

WOW, AND ALREADY A JADED VETERAN.

SO, WHAT DO WE GOT?

CATCH OF THE DAY.

ANY MORE COPS ABOARD MY BOAT, AND IT'S GONNA SINK.

JORDAN CAVANAUGH, M.E.'s OFFICE.

CURT RANDALL.

I WAS OUT LONG-LINING FOR SHARK,

AND I CAUGHT AHOLD OF THIS THING.

SIR, YOU WANNA HOLD UP ON THAT

UNTIL AFTER YOU'VE MADE YOUR STATEMENT?

YOU FOLKS ARE USED TO THIS. I'M NOT.

CSU ALREADY GET PHOTOS?

YEAH, UP THE WAZOO.

MAN. FIRST GOOD HOMICIDE.

NO SUCH THING.

WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE HEAD WOUND?

SKULL FRACTURE.

ODDS ARE, SEVERE ENOUGH TO KILL HER,

OR MAKE HER BLEED TO DEATH.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? EARLY 20s?

JUST A MONTH SHY OF HER 23rd BIRTHDAY.

YEAH, RIGHT.

NO, I MEAN I KNOW WHO SHE IS.

LINDA FERRIS. SHE'S A MISSING PERSON.

HOW COME I'VE NEVER HEARD OF HER?

BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN DEAD FOR 13 YEARS.

[camera shutter clicking]

COULD THIS GUY BE A BIGGER PAIN IN THE ASS?

PETER'S NOT A MORNING PERSON.

HE'S NOT HERE IN TWO MINUTES,

HE'S GONNA BE AN UNEMPLOYED PERSON.

IT TAKES TIME TO INTEGRATE YOURSELF INTO A NEW WORKPLACE.

WHEN DID YOU GET SO OPEN-MINDED?

LILY'S GOT ME DOING EMPATHY EXERCISES.

REALLY? IS THAT WHAT THE KIDS ARE CALLING IT THESE DAYS?

EXCUSE ME.

IS THAT ALISON DANIELS?

YEAH.

DR. WINSLOW, SO NICE OF YOU TO JOIN US.

UH, DR. MACY--

WERE YOU ABLE TO LOCATE HER NEXT OF KIN?

I LOCATED MS. DANIELS' HUSBAND.

YEAH, THAT'S HER.

THAT'S MY WIFE.

[suspenseful rock music]

* *

YOU TWO WERE DIVORCED?

SORT OF UNDEFINED.

WELL, I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

IF YOU NEED TO TAKE A FEW DAYS--

NO.

I'M FINE.

OKAY.

SHE WAS REALLY BEAUTIFUL, YOU KNOW.

I MET HER DURING MY RESIDENCY.

FUNNY, RICH, LIKED TO PARTY.

JUDGING FROM THOSE NEEDLE MARKS, SHE PARTIED A LITTLE TOO HARD.

SHE STARTED WHEN SHE WAS 12 YEARS OLD,

TAKING SPEED OUT OF HER FOLKS' MEDICINE CABINET.

BY THE TIME I MET HER, IT WAS ALL ABOUT PAINKILLERS.

AND YOU INDULGED RIGHT ALONG WITH HER?

IT WAS SO GREAT AT FIRST, TOO, YOU KNOW,

'CAUSE WE WERE PARTYING ALL NIGHT.

WE FLEW TO VEGAS, WE FLEW TO MAUI.

ON A DARE, WE GOT MARRIED

BY A 97-YEAR-OLD RASTA PRIEST IN KINGSTON.

WELL, IT'S TOUGH TO BALANCE RESIDENCY AND A DRUG HABIT.

WASN'T TOUGH FOR LONG.

THE HOSPITAL BOOTED ME OUT OF THERE.

I KNEW I HAD TO GET CLEAN. I BEGGED ALISON TO COME WITH ME.

SOMETIMES YOU CAN ONLY SAVE YOURSELF.

I KEEP TELLING MYSELF THAT.

AT THIS HOUR, THE SEARCH CONTINUES FOR LINDA FERRIS,

WHO VANISHED ON TUESDAY

WHILE JOGGING ALONG THE CHARLES RIVER PATHWAY.

EARLIER TODAY, HER HUSBAND MADE THIS PLEA FOR HER SAFE RETURN.

IF ANYONE OUT THERE'S SEEN LINDA OR KNOWS WHERE SHE IS,

I'M BEGGING YOU TO CALL THE POLICE.

PLEASE DON'T LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO HER.

PLEASE.

(reporter) LINDA FERRIS IS 22 YEARS OLD.

SHE HAS BROWN HAIR AND BROWN EYES.

SHE WAS LAST SEEN--

WOW.

I'VE READ ABOUT THIS BEFORE, BUT THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.

WATER TEMP STOPPED BACTERIA GROWTH.

SHE WAS BASICALLY IN COLD STORAGE.

IT'S AS IF SHE'S FROZEN IN TIME.

A DOZEN YEARS OF HISTORY HAVE GONE BY, AND THERE SHE IS.

UNTOUCHED.

SHE WAS A CELLIST. STUDIED AT BOSTON CONSERVATORY.

SHE QUIT THE SYMPHONY TO TEACH MUSIC IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

YOU SEEM TO KNOW QUITE A LOT ABOUT HER.

MY DAD WAS ON THE TASK FORCE.

EVERYONE SAID SHE WAS SUCH A GREAT PERSON.

BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED, BIG FUTURE.

YOU WONDER WHY THIS HAPPENS TO SOMEONE LIKE HER.

BLAME THE HUSBAND.

AS I UNDERSTAND IT, HE GOT AWAY WITH MURDER.

THE THEORY GOES THAT HE TOOK HER BODY ON HIS BOAT

AND DUMPED IT IN THE OCEAN.

I'D SAY IT LOOKS LIKE MORE THAN A THEORY.

DR. CAVANAUGH?

I JUST SPOKE TO A MR. BERGSTROM, THE VICTIM'S FATHER.

HE'S ON HIS WAY IN TO I.D. HER.

I WAS READY FOR A LOT OF THINGS, BUT NOT THIS.

NOT SEEING LINDA LIKE SHE WAS.

I'M SO VERY SORRY, MR. BERGSTROM.

PART OF ME KEPT HOPING SHE WAS OUT THERE.

LIKE MAYBE SHE HAD AMNESIA, OR SOMETHING.

SHE WOULD'VE BEEN ABOUT YOUR AGE BY NOW.

YES.

(Bergstrom) LINDA WAS SO INNOCENT.

ALWAYS SAW THE BEST IN PEOPLE.

I WISH SHE'D BEEN LESS THAT WAY. MAYBE SHE'D STILL BE ALIVE.

AT LEAST NOW, MAYBE WE'LL BE ABLE TO PROVE WHO KILLED HER.

I KNOW THAT'S SMALL COMFORT.

IT'S ALL THE COMFORT I HAVE.

LINDA CALLED ME THAT NIGHT, UPSET.

SHE AND BRAD WERE FIGHTING AGAIN.

SHE'D FOUND OUT HE WAS CHEATING ON HER.

HE NEEDS TO PAY.

HE NEEDS TO PAY FOR TAKING MY LITTLE GIRL.

DO YOU WANT TO STAY WITH HER FOR AWHILE?

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.

I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT.

SHE WAS STANDING ON THE SIDEWALK.

THE POLICE SAID THAT THE DRIVER

OF THE CAR THAT STRUCK YOUR WIFE WAS INTOXICATED.

[sighs]

I CAN'T DO THIS.

I CAN'T RAISE THE KIDS WITHOUT GWEN.

YES, YOU CAN.

I TEACH HISTORY.

AND GWEN WORKED SO THAT I COULD GET MY Ph.D.

GRADUATION IS TOMORROW.

THAT'S WHERE SHE WAS GOING.

TO PICK UP MY CAP AND GOWN.

LISTEN.

IT'LL BE REALLY HARD.

BUT WHEN THEY HAND YOU THAT DIPLOMA,

GWEN WILL BE THERE WITH YOU.

I CAN'T.

I MEAN...

IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING NOW, NOT WITHOUT HER.

TOMORROW IS ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU AND YOUR WIFE BUILT TOGETHER.

THAT DOESN'T CHANGE JUST BECAUSE SHE'S GONE.

BUG, ARE YOU WORKING ON GWEN BARNES?

WHAT, THE DRUNK DRIVER? YEAH.

HELLUVA WAY TO START YOUR DAY.

YOU KNOW, THE JERK DIDN'T EVEN SLOW DOWN.

HUSBAND IS A MESS. TWO LITTLE KIDS.

YOU SEE, THIS IS THE TROUBLE WITH WHAT WE DO.

WE COME IN AFTER THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE,

WHEN PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE ALREADY RUINED.

AH, WELL, WE DO WHAT WE CAN.

HOW LAME DOES THAT SOUND?

PRETTY LAME.

HAVE YOUR FUNERAL DIRECTOR CALL ME.

I'LL HANDLE YOUR DAUGHTER'S RELEASE MYSELF.

THANK YOU, DR. MACY.

YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW DR. WINSLOW.

I'M REALLY SORRY ABOUT ALISON-- DON'T.

DON'T YOU DARE EVEN SAY HER NAME, YOU SON-OF-A-BITCH.

RICHARD, PLEASE.

EXCUSE ME, I HAVE A CASE.

THIS JOB SUITS YOU, PETER.

PLACE WHERE YOU CAN'T DO ANY MORE DAMAGE.

EVERYONE'S ALREADY DEAD.

IF YOU PAID HALF AS MUCH ATTENTION TO ALISON

AS YOU DO TO YOUR DAMN PORTFOLIO,

SHE MIGHT STILL BE ALIVE!

THAT'S ENOUGH, PETER, KNOCK IT OFF!

JUST FOR THE RECORD, ALISON HATED YOUR GUTS.

SORRY.

WHAT YOU GOT THERE?

ROPE MARKS.

YOU GET HER BLOOD WORK?

YEAH, ONLY ONE THING STANDS OUT FROM THE JUMBLE.

SHE HAD DIMENHYDRINATE IN HER SYSTEM.

DRAMAMINE?

YEAH, USED TO COMBAT SEA SICKNESS, ISN'T IT?

OR SIMPLE NAUSEA.

CAN I SEE THAT?

WHAT? WHAT IS IT?

SHE HAS ELEVATED LEVELS OF PROGESTERONE.

knock knock

CAN I HELP YOU?

MR. FERRIS, MY NAME IS JORDAN CAVANAUGH.

I'M WITH THE M.E.'s OFFICE.

IF YOU'RE HERE TO TELL ME ABOUT LINDA, I'VE ALREADY HEARD.

ACTUALLY, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT LINDA.

SHE WAS PREGNANT.

I SEE.

LOOK, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW

THAT WE'RE VERY CLOSE TO FINDING OUT WHO DID THIS.

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

(Ms. Ferris) HONEY?

WHO IS IT?

NOBODY.

(Max) SO, WHAT'S THE OCCASION?

YOU AND I JUST HAVEN'T HAD DINNER FOR AWHILE.

I HEARD YOU GOT LINDA FERRIS, GOD REST HER.

YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN HIM, DAD.

HE WAS SO SMUG, SO SURE THAT HE'D BEATEN THE SYSTEM.

HUSBAND, YOU MEAN? YEAH, WHO ELSE?

IS THIS ABOUT DINNER,

OR HITTING ME UP FOR CASE FILES ON LINDA FERRIS?

WOW, AM I REALLY THAT TRANSPARENT?

I DON'T HAVE THE FILES, JORDAN.

I'M NOT SURE I'D GIVE THEM TO YOU IF I DID.

YOU WORKED ON HER CASE. DON'T YOU WANNA NAIL THIS GUY?

I'M NOT SO SURE HE DID IT.

HE TOOK OUT A LIFE INSURANCE POLICY ON HER

TWO WEEKS BEFORE SHE WENT MISSING.

AND THEN, RIGHT AFTER, HE SOLD ALL OF HER PERSONAL STUFF.

EVERYTHING POINTS TO HIM. EXCEPT MY GUT.

MAYBE YOUR GUT JUST GIVES HUSBANDS

THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.

TELL YOU WHAT.

LET'S HAVE OUR DINNER ANOTHER TIME.

HEY, BUG.

GOT THE TOX SCREEN ON ALISON DANIELS?

LOOK, THE THING IS...

GIVEN YOUR CONNECTION TO THE DECEASED,

YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT GONNA WORK THE CASE,

SO I REALLY CAN'T--

EVER FELT RESPONSIBLE FOR SOMEONE'S DEATH?

BLOOD WORK INDICATES MEPERIDINE MIXED WITH SERTRALINE.

SHE WAS ON ANTIDEPRESSANTS?

APPARENTLY. DANGEROUS COMBINATION.

SO YOU'LL MAKE SURE DR. MACY GETS A LOOK AT THAT, RIGHT?

I COME TO YOU WITH AN INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT.

YOU RUN THE LIVER TEST?

I DID, AND IT INDICATES THAT LINDA FERRIS HERE

HAD BEEN TAKING ABOUT 100 MILLIGRAMS OF DRAMAMINE DAILY

FOR ABOUT A WEEK.

HERE'S THE KICKER.

THE BLOOD VOLUME TEST SHOWS HER DRAMAMINE LEVEL

TO BE ONLY .00175 MILLIGRAMS PER LITER,

WHICH MEANS IT HAD BEEN 48 HOURS SINCE SHE TOOK HER LAST PILL.

SHE WAS ALIVE FOR AT LEAST A DAY AFTER SHE WAS TAKEN.

SO IT WOULD APPEAR.

AT WHICH POINT, SHE BLED TO DEATH

AFTER BEING HIT BY A BLUNT OBJECT.

A GUN BUTT, MAYBE?

WHAT'S THIS?

IT LOOKS LIKE A DISK OF SOME KIND.

NIGEL, WOULD YOU PLEASE OPEN HER MOUTH?

YEAH.

WHAT IN--

WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS NOT JUST A BUTTON...

IT'S A MATTRESS BUTTON.

THOUGH I'M UNCLEAR ON HOW IT WOUND UP IN HER THROAT.

SHE BIT IT OFF.

I FOUND HAIRLINE CRACKS IN HER TEETH.

ANYBODY SURE WHAT KIND OF MATTRESS THIS CAME FROM?

WELL, A MAJOR CLUE IS THE FACT

THAT THIS MATTRESS HAD BUTTONS AT ALL.

SEE, BUTTON TUFTING, AS IT'S KNOWN IN THE TRADE,

HAS BEEN OUT OF VOGUE FOR A COUPLE OF DECADES NOW.

SO THIS SUGGESTS TO ME THAT THIS IS EITHER A LIMITED-RUN MATTRESS

OR IT WAS ONE PRODUCED BY ONE OF THE SMALLER MANUFACTURERS.

IS THAT A STRIPE IN THE FABRIC?

YEAH.

SEE, EVERY BRAND AND MODEL HAS A UNIQUE COMBINATION

OF PATTERNS AND COLORS AND THREAD TYPES.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE DNA FOR MATTRESSES.

beep

WE HAVE A POSSIBLE MATCH.

ACCORDING TO THIS, WE MAY BE LOOKING FOR A SLEEP-NICE 4610.

WHICH IS?

A LOW-COST, COMMERCIAL MATTRESS PRODUCED IN 1988,

FOR BUDGET ACCOMMODATIONS.

OH, DEAR.

500 4610s WERE SOLD IN THE BOSTON AREA

TO HALF A DOZEN ESTABLISHMENTS.

THIS IS ALL YOU GOT?

A BUTTON?

HOW'S THIS SUPPOSED TO HELP ME?

LOOK, IF WE CAN FIND THE MATTRESS IT CAME FROM,

WE CAN TIE FERRIS TO THE MURDER.

NO NEED.

I'M GUESSING HE'S GONNA DO THAT FOR US.

WHY CAN'T YOU PEOPLE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?

I JUST WANT TO GET ON WITH MY LIFE.

SHE DIDN'T GET TO, WHY SHOULD YOU?

YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'VE BEEN DRAGGED DOWN HERE?

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THIS TIME WILL BE ANY DIFFERENT?

[cheering]

MR. BARNES? YES?

OH, HEY. LILY, RIGHT?

I'M GLAD YOU DECIDED TO DO THIS.

I GOTTA TELL YOU, I'M PRETTY CLOSE TO LOSING IT.

I KNOW.

IT TOOK A LOT OF COURAGE FOR YOU TO COME.

GWEN WOULD BE PROUD.

GRADUATION GIFT.

NO BIG DEAL.

IT'S A CULTURAL HISTORY OF ENGLAND.

THANK YOU, LILY.

FOR THE GIFT AND FOR EVERYTHING.

CONGRATULATIONS, MR. BARNES.

MICHAEL, PLEASE.

MICHAEL.

HEY, GET IN HERE, STRANGER.

DR. CASSIDY.

THAT'S KINDA FORMAL FOR OLD FRIENDS, ISN'T IT?

WHAT'S IT BEEN, LIKE, TWO YEARS?

HAVE A SEAT.

YEAH, IT'S CLOSER TO THREE, ACTUALLY.

REALLY? YEAH.

SO, YOU SEEN ALISON LATELY?

YEAH, AS A MATTER OF FACT, A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.

SAID YOU'D CALLED OUT OF THE BLUE,

THAT REALLY SHOOK HER UP.

WHAT'D YOU TREAT HER FOR?

SHE HAD A TWEAK IN HER NECK-- WORKING OUT, I THINK SHE SAID.

THAT'S FUNNY, I DON'T REMEMBER ALISON BEING MUCH OF A GYM RAT.

WELL, WHATEVER.

I GAVE HER SOME MEPERIDINE.

SO, YOU TWO GETTING BACK TOGETHER?

NO, THAT'S NOT LIKELY.

SHE'S DEAD.

MY GOD, WHAT HAPPENED?

SHE OD'd.

MEPERIDINE AND SERTRALINE.

SHE NEVER MENTIONED ANTIDEPRESSANTS.

SOMETHING'S TELLING ME YOU NEVER ASKED EITHER, RIGHT?

LOOK, WHATEVER YOU'RE IMPLYING--

NO, I'M NOT IMPLYING ANYTHING.

I'M SAYING YOU KILLED HER.

I KNOW YOU MUST BE GOING THROUGH

AN ENORMOUSLY DIFFICULT TIME RIGHT NOW.

IT'S GONNA GET SO MUCH MORE DIFFICULT FOR YOU, TOO.

YOU'RE GONNA LOSE YOUR LICENSE, YOU'RE GONNA LOSE YOUR PRACTICE,

AND THAT IS JUST FOR STARTERS.

WHOA. ALISON WAS MY PATIENT.

SHE WAS IN A LOT OF PAIN.

WHICH YOU EXPLOITED FOR EVERY DOLLAR YOU COULD GET FROM HER.

I KNOW YOU'RE HURTING.

BUT LET'S BE HONEST.

I WAS NOT THE ONE WHO DID DRUGS WITH ALISON.

I WAS NOT THE ONE WHO MARRIED HER ON A WHIM.

AND I'M NOT THE ONE WHO LEFT AND BROKE HER HEART.

YOU WENT ON WITH YOUR LIFE, PETER.

YOU NEVER LOOKED BACK.

I WAS HERE FOR ALISON.

WHERE WERE YOU?

I TRIED TO HELP ALISON.

AND I TRIED TO HELP HER TOO.

* THE SHIP AWASH OUR RUDDER GONE *

* THE RATS HAVE FLED BUT I'M HANGING ON *

* LET ME TRY, BABY, TRY * *

LATE NIGHT, HUH?

[gasps] OH, MY GOD, MICHAEL.

SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO--

IT'S OKAY.

WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE?

WAITING FOR YOU.

DID YOU NEED SOMETHING?

ACTUALLY, YES.

I WANTED TO THANK YOU...

FOR BEING THERE FOR ME.

THAT'S MY JOB.

NO, I KNOW.

BUT IT'S MORE THAN THAT.

YOU RADIATE A VERY RARE KINDNESS.

AND I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT A GIFT THAT'S BEEN TO ME.

THAT'S REALLY SWEET.

WE SHOULD MAKE A TIME TO TALK ABOUT--

I BROUGHT YOU SOMETHING.

MICHAEL, I-- PLEASE, JUST OPEN IT.

I BOUGHT THAT FOR GWEN.

NEXT MONTH IS OUR NINTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

IT'S LOVELY...

BUT I CAN'T ACCEPT IT.

NO, NO, IT'S OKAY.

I WANT YOU TO HAVE IT.

WILL YOU AT LEAST COME HAVE A DRINK WITH ME?

I CAN'T.

WHY NOT?

IT WOULD BE INAPPROPRIATE.

I'M YOUR COUNSELOR.

I CAN'T BE YOUR FRIEND OR YOUR FAMILY OR YOUR...

OR GWEN, RIGHT?

YOU THINK I'M PUTTING YOU IN HER PLACE?

I THINK THAT YOU'RE IN PAIN, I THINK THAT YOU'RE--

YOU CAME TO MY GRADUATION.

YOU BOUGHT ME A PRESENT.

YOU ACTED LIKE YOU CARED ABOUT ME--

CALM DOWN--

DON'T PATRONIZE ME, DAMMIT!

LILY? WHAT'S WRONG?

HE WAS WAITING FOR ME BY MY CAR.

WHO?

THIS IS FUTILE, JORDAN.

IT'S OUR THIRD STOP, AND ONLY 27 MATTRESSES ACCOUNTED FOR.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, WE ONLY HAVE 473 TO GO.

I WON'T GIVE UP ON THIS, NIGE.

IT'S BEEN A DOZEN YEARS.

FOR ALL WE KNOW, IT'S BEEN THROWN AWAY.

COME ON, YOU THINK THEY THROW ANYTHING AWAY AROUND HERE?

WHAT AM I? NOT HERE?

knock knock

YOU KNOW, YOU BED-CHECKING THE ROOMS

IS DISRUPTING MY BUSINESS.

OH, NOT JUST YOURS.

THE DRUG DEALERS, THE HOOKERS...

HEY, I'M DOING YOU A FAVOR.

YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A WARRANT.

JORDAN.

HEY, HEY, HEY!

WHAT'RE YOU DOING?

TYPE AB BLOOD, JUST LIKE LINDA FERRIS.

I JUST TALKED TO MY FRIEND AT THE GLOBE.

LINDA'S FATHER REPORTED HER MISSING

THE NIGHT THAT SHE VANISHED.

THE MEDIA WAS PRETTY MUCH CAMPED OUTSIDE HER HOUSE

FROM THEN ON.

I'M AFRAID I DON'T FOLLOW.

OUR TIMELINE HAS LINDA ALIVE FOR AT LEAST A DAY

AFTER SHE WAS TAKEN.

HER HUSBAND BARELY LEFT THE HOUSE.

AND WHEN HE DID, REPORTERS TAGGED ALONG.

THERE'S NO WAY HE COULD'VE COME HERE.

WHOEVER DID THIS, IT WASN'T HIM.

(Rogers) WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT, CAVANAUGH?

VANDALISM, THAT'S WHAT.

LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO THE BED.

WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A CRIME SCENE.

YOU CONDUCTED A SEARCH WITHOUT PROPER WARRANTS OR WITNESSES.

I THINK YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT HERE--

NO, I'M NOT. THIS IS TAMPERING WITH EVIDENCE.

WHATEVER'S HERE WILL PROBABLY BE INADMISSIBLE,

THANKS TO YOU.

WHO'S GONNA PAY FOR THE MATTRESS?

[Aimee Mann's "High on Sunday 51"]

* *

* I BROUGHT MY WINDOW UP AND THEN *

* I TURNED MY BACK TO LURE YOU IN *

* DO I FALL THROUGH WHAT I MIGHT HAVE BEEN *

* LET ME TRY, BABY, TRY *

* *

I GUESS I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY.

ME, AND THE BOSTON PD.

DAD, I WAS SO SURE IT WAS THE HUSBAND.

I'LL NEVER FORGET WHEN SHE WENT MISSING.

A YOUNG WOMAN GOT GRABBED JOGGING ALONG THE PATHWAY,

WAS ALL THEY TOLD US.

I HEARD THAT, I COULDN'T EVEN BREATHE.

I KNEW IT WAS YOUR FAVORITE RUNNING SPOT,

AND ALL I COULD THINK WAS IT MIGHT BE YOU.

I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WASN'T.

WHAT'S THAT MEAN?

THIS GOES BACK TO MY FIRST RELATIONSHIP.

TO WHEN I LOST MY--

I DON'T THINK I WANT TO HEAR THIS.

I WAS A SOPHOMORE.

JORDAN, PLEASE.

IN COLLEGE.

IN COLLEGE?

I FIGURED...

I MEAN, IN HIGH SCHOOL YOU ALREADY SEEMED...

SLUTTY?

WORLDLY, IS WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY.

IT WAS JUST AN ACT

TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM GETTING TOO CLOSE.

TILL MY SECOND YEAR AT TUFTS,

I'D NEVER BEEN IN LOVE.

I THOUGHT HE WAS THE ONE.

HE GOT WHAT HE WANTED AND HE WAS GONE.

NO ONE HAD EVER HURT ME LIKE THAT BEFORE.

I WENT FOR A RUN ON THE PATHWAY.

IT WASN'T SAFE AT THAT HOUR, BUT I DIDN'T GIVE A DAMN.

I WISH YOU COULD'VE COME TO ME...

THE NEXT MORNING, I HEARD ABOUT LINDA FERRIS.

IN THE SAME PARK, AT THE SAME TIME.

WHY HER AND NOT ME?

AFTER WHAT I'D JUST DONE,

I WANTED SOMETHING BAD TO HAPPEN.

NO, YOU DIDN'T.

WELL, ANYWAY, WITH LINDA FERRIS ON MY TABLE,

I'M ASKING MYSELF A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

WELL, MAYBE YOU AND I CAN FIND SOME ANSWERS.

THE FERRIS CASE?

I CALLED IN A FAVOR.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING IT OVER.

NOT MUCH POPS IN THE ORIGINAL CASE,

BUT THE WAY HER BODY TURNED UP.

SHE WAS FOUND IN THE OCEAN.

YEAH, BUT WHERE IN THE OCEAN, AND HOW DID SHE GET THERE?

HOW'RE YOU DOING, MICHAEL?

WELL, LET'S SEE.

TWO POLICEMEN CAME TO MY HOUSE

AND BROUGHT ME IN FOR QUESTIONING--

IN FRONT OF MY KIDS.

I'M SORRY IT HAD TO COME TO THIS.

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HELP ME.

YOU NEED MORE HELP THAN I CAN PROVIDE.

YOU HAVE A HELL OF A WAY OF TELLING ME.

YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND

THAT NO MATTER HOW MUCH PAIN YOU'RE IN,

THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN--

I WAS UPSET THE OTHER NIGHT, OKAY?

I HADN'T SLEPT IN TWO NIGHTS.

I WASN'T THINKING STRAIGHT.

YOU SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME.

AND I APOLOGIZED FOR THAT.

I WENT TO THE POLICE AS MUCH FOR YOU AS FOR ME.

YOU NEED TO GET CONTROL OF YOURSELF.

AND YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH GWEN'S DEATH IN A RESPONSIBLE WAY.

RESPONSIBLE?

THE MOTHER OF MY CHILDREN

WAS MURDERED BY A DRUNKEN IMBECILE.

AND NOW THEIR FATHER IS GOING TO JAIL.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO JAIL, MICHAEL.

BUT YOU DO NEED COUNSELING.

ANY OF THESE DOCTORS CAN HELP YOU.

I'M VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

THAT'S SO EASY TO SAY, ISN'T IT?

I MEAN, YOU MUST SAY THAT, WHAT, A DOZEN TIMES A DAY?

DOES IT EVEN MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU ANYMORE?

YES.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I CAN CHANGE WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU.

YOU KNOW, IT'S AMAZING.

I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD FEEL WORSE THAN THE MOMENT

I FOUND OUT MY WIFE WAS DEAD.

I WAS WRONG.

GETTING READY TO SHOVE OFF, MR. RANDALL?

CAN'T CATCH FISH JUST PARKED HERE.

I ALREADY TOLD YOU PEOPLE EVERYTHING I KNOW.

DID YOU EVER SEE LINDA FERRIS BEFORE YOU OPENED THAT TRUNK?

IF I WAS THE ONE WHO DEEP-SIXED HER,

WHY WOULD I BE FISHING ANYWHERE NEAR HER?

IN YOUR STATEMENT, YOU SAID YOU WEREN'T SURE

WHERE YOU PULLED UP THE BODY.

BIG OCEAN.

I CREWED ON BOATS LIKE THIS AS A KID.

ANY FISHERMAN WORTH HIS SALT LOGS WHERE HE DROPS HIS LINES.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY?

THAT YOU KNOW THE LOCATION WHERE YOU SNAGGED THAT TRUNK.

YOU DON'T GIVE IT TO ME, IT PUTS YOU IN AN ODD LIGHT.

THIRTY MILES OFFSHORE, DUE EAST.

GEORGES BANKS. I GET IT.

YOU WERE FISHING IN RESTRICTED WATERS.

I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING.

I GOT WORK TO DO ON BOARD.

KILLER DUMPED HER BODY IN A PRESERVE,

WHERE THERE WAS THE LEAST CHANCE OF ANYONE RUNNING ACROSS IT.

WELL, WHOEVER HE IS, HE SURE KNOWS HIS WAY AROUND AN OCEAN.

WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?

I'M JUST RUNNING SOME LIVER TESTS.

ON?

ALISON, UH, ALLISON DANIELS.

NO, UH-UH. THAT CAN'T HAPPEN.

AND I NEED THE TOX SCREEN BACK YOU BORROWED.

I GOTTA FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED. I OWE THAT TO HER.

LOOK AT ME. WHY?

LOOK AT ME! WHAT?

YOU'RE HIGH, AREN'T YOU?

HEY, WILL YOU JUST BACK OFF FOR A MINUTE, ALL RIGHT?

LYING SON-OF-A-BITCH!

YOU PROMISED ME YOU WERE CLEAN.

GET OFF OF ME!

GUESS YOU FINALLY GOT YOUR WISH, HUH?

I QUIT.

OKAY.

LET'S TRY TO PUT TOGETHER WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT.

ACCORDING TO HER DAD,

LINDA FERRIS HAD A FIGHT WITH HER HUSBAND, BRAD.

SHE LEAVES THE HOUSE AND GOES OUT FOR A RUN.

[dog barking]

(Jordan) SHE HEADS INTO THE PARK.

IT'S DARK.

HARDLY ANYONE'S THERE.

(Max) THAT'S WHEN HE MADE HIS MOVE.

AH! AH!

HE LEFT SIGNS OF STRUGGLE.

WE FOUND TRAMPLED BRUSH ALONG THE TRAIL

WHERE HE'D BEEN HANGING OUT.

HE WAS LYING IN WAIT.

MAYBE HE WAS HIRED BY THE HUSBAND.

LINDA FERRIS RAN IN THE MORNINGS.

HER TAKING THAT JOG WAS A SNAP DECISION.

HE COULDN'T HAVE KNOWN SHE WAS COMING.

HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HER.

HE HAD A VEHICLE.

THAT'S HOW HE GOT HER TO THE HOTEL.

HE KEPT HER THERE, HOLDING HER CAPTIVE.

(Jordan) HE HELD HER A DAY, MAYBE TWO.

THEN, WHEN HE WAS DONE...

(Max) LOADED HER BODY IN THE TRUNK...

PUSHED IT OVER THE SIDE.

I THINK I KNOW WHO KILLED HER.

LINDA FERRIS WAS MURDERED IN THIS ROOM, ON THIS BED.

HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT?

(Max) YOU LIVE HERE, DON'T YOU?

YOUR HOTEL, HAS BEEN FOR 16 YEARS.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN I CAN SEE THROUGH WALLS.

HEY, LOOK, I'M AS SORRY AS THE NEXT GUY SHE'S DEAD--

THAT'S A HARD-SELL WITH YOUR HISTORY.

WHAT HISTORY?

ATTEMPTED MURDER.

FOUR YEARS AT CONNELLY.

I WAS A JUVENILE.

THOSE RECORDS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SEALED.

THE KILLER BROUGHT HER TO THIS HOTEL,

MILES AWAY FROM THE DOCKS WHERE HE'D HAVE TO TAKE THE BODY.

NOW, WHY COME HERE? UNLESS HE FELT SECURE.

AT HOME.

I SWEAR TO GOD, IT WASN'T ME.

OKAY, THEN, SOMEONE YOU KNEW,

WHO FIGURED THIS WAS A SAFE PLACE TO BE.

THE COPS'LL BE IN THE MARKET FOR A NEW SUSPECT ON THIS THING.

YOU GIVE US A NAME, OR WE'RE GONNA SERVE YOU UP ON A PLATTER.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING IN HERE.

IF I HAD, I WOULDA--

A NAME!

TRAVIS HUBBARD.

I KNEW HIM FROM THE JOINT.

WHERE DO WE FIND HIM?

IT WAS A DOZEN YEARS AGO.

I--I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF HE'S STILL ALIVE.

SO WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?

[sighs] TRYING TO LOCATE ONE TRAVIS HUBBARD.

NO CREDIT ACTIVITY OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS.

MAYBE HE'S DEAD.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, YOU HEARD ABOUT PETER, RIGHT?

PEOPLE COME AND GO SO QUICKLY HERE.

IT'S MY OWN FAULT.

WITH HIS HISTORY, I NEVER SHOULD'VE HIRED HIM.

YOU TRIED TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE.

EXACTLY. THAT'S THE LAST TIME I EVER TRY TO SAVE SOMEONE.

YEAH, RIGHT.

I'M SERIOUS.

OH, COME ON, GARRET, YOU ACT TOUGH,

BUT YOU'VE GOT A CLASSIC ST. JUDE COMPLEX.

OH, THIS OUGHTA BE GOOD.

YEAH, THE PATRON SAINT OF LOST CAUSES.

I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE REFERENCE.

WHAT'S IT GOT TO DO WITH ME?

HELLO? IT'S BEEN YOUR M.O. EVER SINCE I MET YOU.

THAT'S A LOAD OF CRAP.

LOOK, IF YOU SAY SO.

BUT IF YOU'RE NOT A SUCKER FOR HARD LUCK STORIES,

THEN WHAT THE HELL AM I STILL DOING HERE?

[knocks on window]

JORDAN.

I THINK I FOUND TRAVIS HUBBARD.

DR. WINSLOW.

[chuckles]

DIDN'T MEAN TO CRASH THE PARTY.

LOOK, I'M SORRY, ALL RIGHT.

JUST SAVE IT.

I HAVE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT ALISON'S DEATH.

THANKS ANYWAY.

YOU DON'T CARE HOW YOUR WIFE DIED?

I KNOW HOW SHE DIED, ALL RIGHT.

AND SINCE YOU'RE NOT MY BOSS ANYMORE,

I NO LONGER HAVE TO FEIGN INTEREST WHEN YOU SPEAK.

ALISON DIDN'T DIE OF AN OVERDOSE.

YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE FULL OF IT.

SHE HAD MEPERIDINE AND ANTIDEPRESSANTS IN HER SYSTEM,

BUT THE LEVELS WEREN'T TOXIC.

HOW?

EXCESS SODIUM IN THE VITREOUS FLUID OF THE EYE.

IT'S A TELLTALE SIGN OF WITHDRAWAL.

ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT ALISON WAS TRYING TO GET CLEAN?

UNFORTUNATELY, SHE TRIED TO DETOX A LITTLE TOO QUICKLY,

WHICH CAUSED ACUTE DEHYDRATION AND A FATAL SEIZURE.

WHY DON'T YOU CALL IT A NIGHT?

NO, I'M OKAY.

YEAH, I KNOW YOU'RE OKAY.

THAT'S A FUNNY PLACE FOR A FLU SHOT.

SCREW YOU, MACY.

LOOK, YOU DON'T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT ME, ALL RIGHT?

YOU'RE RIGHT. YEAH.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY YOU'RE A JUNKIE.

AND FRANKLY, I DON'T MUCH CARE.

THOSE ARE YOUR DEMONS.

I'VE GOT PLENTY OF MY OWN.

GO CHASE 'EM.

RUN AWAY. GO CHASE 'EM.

LEAVE ME ALONE, ALL RIGHT?

YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY.

IT LOOKS LIKE ALISON WAS TRYING LIKE HELL

TO GET HER LIFE BACK.

EXACTLY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

LOOK FAMILIAR?

13 YEARS AGO YOU TOOK HER.

KILLED HER AT THE FAIRWAY HOTEL.

YOU HIRED OUT ON A FISHING BOAT AND DUMPED THE BODY.

I THINK IF I DID THAT, I'D RECALL.
