I kept the crime scene
clear for you.

Andrea Goddard, 36.

Sure it's a crime scene?

Looks like she just fell down
and broke her crown.

It's a crime scene
till I say it's not.

Can you give me
a time of death estimate?

Well, lividity's set,

so it was more
than eight hours ago.

And no maggots,
so less than three days.

That's very amusing.

Any chance you could be
a little bit more specific?

How is 11:01?

You know, my last case,

your office sent over
some, uh, Pakistani guy

who didn't think
that he was a stand-up comic.

He's from India,

and I'm not trying
to be funny.

Oh.

Well, good.

I like to have a specific time
when I'm checking alibis.

Are you sure you're not jumping
the gun a little?

I'm not really seeing anything
that screams homicide.

Maybe you could leave
detective work to a detective.

Maybe you could leave time,
cause, and manner of death

to a medical examiner.

You're acting like a child.

Don't you ever have dinner
with your ex?

Maggie and I have
a daughter together.

Daniel and I managed
to remain friends.

That's all it is.

He's remarried,
and I'm in a relationship.

[knocking on door]

Come in.I think.

Bones at a construction site.
They're requesting our presence.

When you get bored
in the playpen,

you know
where to find me.

Who's free?

Dr. Maguire.

Who else?

Dr. Maguire.

All right, Emmy, thanks.

Nigel!Yeah.

I did half last night.
I'll do the rest now.

I want you to go
with Dr. Maguire on a call.

The new girl?New doctor.

Doctor.

I thought the DNA backlog
was priority one.

Dr. Maguire's
not ready to solo.

That's not what she says.

A big part of the reason
why I don't trust her.

He trusts me.
That's why he assigned me this.

My first real case.
Finally.

Tell me these bones
aren't Indian, I'll be happy.

If they're Indian,
we'll be shut down for months.

I believe the currently
preferred terminology

is Native-American.

So if you find anything

that even looks like
an Indian artifact,

maybe you could pretend
it's not.

You know, like arrowheads,
war clubs.

Or wampum, peace pipes,
shrunken heads.

Yeah. Like that.

So what was here before?

A 40-unit tenement.

We found the bones in
what would've been the cellar.

It's a baby.

♪ Was in another lifetime

♪ One of toil and blood...

Doctor Maguire, I'm guessing
this is not an Indian artifact.

[Devan]
It's a child's doll.

♪ I came in
from the wilderness ♪

♪ A creature void of form

♪ Come in, she said,
I'll give you ♪

♪ Shelter from the storm...

[new age music]

♪

♪ And if I pass
this way again ♪

♪ You can rest assured...

[Woody]
Why doesn't he have any ribs?

She.

They decomposed.

Ribs are cartilage till the baby's

about six weeks old.

So she was younger than that.

It's a black doll.

She was African-American?

I won't be able
to nail it down

without doing
a comparative analysis.

Comparing what to what?

This skull
to a Caucasian one.

The nasal bones will be
flatter in the--

Okay, too much information.
I'm sorry I asked.

How long has she been here?

We'll only be able
to give you a range.

Do we know what killed her?

No obvious injury.

Okay, I'll go check
Missing Persons files,

see if anything turns up.

You know, if I killed my baby
and hid the body,

I'm not sure I'd want
to draw the cops' attention

by reporting her missing.

That's a good point,
but we gotta start somewhere.

This is a sign-out.

The relatives
can have the body any time.

That'll make my job easier.

They didn't want their father
carved up like a rump roast.

Is that how they put it?

Yeah, so thanks.

Hey.

Anything I need to know about?

Probably not.

Andrea Goddard.

Fell down the stairs
of her house,

broke her neck.

Accident?

To be determined.

Hmm.

Is that someone you know?

I need definitive proof

that this either was
or was not accidental.

Why?

You got the call?

Yeah.

Can I assume that the 11:01
time of death is solid?

I don't usually assess
time of death

based on a broken watch.

I run tests.

You are planning to do
a full autopsy?

I'm happy to do
whatever I'm told.

If that's what you need.

Thank you.

Need any help with my case?

Give me the A.L.S.,
would you?

[Devan]
You do know I have no idea
what I'm looking at.

Just think of it
as carbon dating,

only with lead
and polonium-210.

Carbon's useless
unless the bones

are really, really old.

Lead has a half-life
of 22 years.

Polonium, 134 days.

Do you just know all this stuff,
or do you have to look it up?

I know everything.

Hmm.

There you go.

Your little girl was buried
18 to 20 years ago.

'Kay.Can you do a facial
reconstruction?

Yeah, I suppose
I could, but--

Great, I'll call Detective Hoyt
18 to 20 years.

Yeah, but newborns aren't
necessarily the best subjects.

Why not?

'Cause they've all got
that same squished-in baby face.

Plus I really have to catch up
on the DNA backlog.

Do this first.

News to you, perhaps,
but the institutional priorities

don't always match your own.

Do it now.
I'll clear it with Dr. Macy.

Abrasions on the knees.

Contusions
to the hands and elbows.

This looks like
a fractured hip.

Really? I must've missed
all that.

Facial bruisings look
like what you'd expect

to see in a fall.

Are you giving me a tutorial?
Do you think I need one?

No and no.

Trouble in paradise, then?What?

You seemed happy to leave this
to me until Walcott butted in.

The D.A. doesn't
just wander in here

unless there's something
brewing, Jordan, come on.

[Emmy] Dr. Macy, Lily would like to see you

in the conference room.

Okay. Draw some blood and give
it to Nigel for a tox screen.

Then shoot a radiograph

of this head wound and move her into Autopsy One.

Don't start cutting
till I'm back.

This is Dr. Macy,
the Chief Medical Examiner.

Harold Goddard, his wife--

If I had an employee
who couldn't answer

a simple question,
I'd fire her.

What's the question?

The police told me Andrea
fell down the stairs.

Apparently so.
What's the question?

Why isn't she ready
for release?

Because we're doing
a full autopsy.

Why?

At the request of
the District Attorney's office.

Anything else?

I need to make
the arrangements.

What should I tell
the funeral home?

Tell me which one,
and I'll let them--

Fisher and Sons.

Nice guy.

He seems real torn up
about his wife's death.

He told me they separated
a couple of months ago.

[Lily]
This is terrible.

How old is this baby?

[Nigel] About three or four weeks.

[Lily]
What happened?

Dunno yet.

How close a likeness
can you get?

Some of the features
aren't predicted

by the skull's contours...
eyes, nose, mouth.

What's left?

Well, I know it seems
like pure guesswork,

but we can tap into
a vast database of variables--

age, sex, build,
ethnic group--

that we overlay onto
the wireframe matrix

and come up with
a usable approximation.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

What is the best way
to deal with someone

who doesn't grasp
that other people's needs

may not precisely
match hers?

Dr. Maguire?Yeah.

She's just trying to settle in
and find her place.

My experience is that
she's trying to muscle

her way to the front
of the class

and doesn't care
how many bodies

she leaves in her wake.

Then you'll just have
to learn how to say no.

Right. No. No.

[clears throat]
No!

Yo. Dr. No.

I'm pretty sure I've got it,

and it was a lot easier
than I thought it would be.

These three are Caucasian.

Yeah, but our baby
is definitely not.

[Woody] This one is our only hit from Missing Persons.

Mother's name, Althea Hurd.

Reported baby girl missing June 18, 1985.

And she lived
in that building.

All that work for nothing.

Yeah, well, confirmation's
a good thing.

All right, you know what?

I think I'm gonna go
track down Althea Hurd

and pay her a visit.

If I were you, I'd track
Dr. Maguire down first,

give her the option
of going with you.

What if I don't want to?

She'll hurt you.

And more importantly,
she'll hurt me.

I'm finding her
a tad pushy.

She is kinda hot, though.

In your squeaky-clean,
white-bread world, perhaps.

All right, you know what?
Never mind.

I don't think
I really need to know

what makes your dough rise.

Oh, Woody, I'd so love
to tell you.

Is that the head wound?

Yes.

Did you look at it?

I wouldn't want to get
above me 'umble station.

Since when?

Correct me
if you think I'm wrong,

but I'd say this woman
fell down the stairs

because somebody
smacked her in the head

with whatever
left that imprint.

Sounds like you're
expecting me to disagree.

And I'd say
that makes it a murder.

Does it get you off the hook
with General Walcott?

Excuse me.

I seemed to detect
a certain tension in the room

the other day.

Hard to tell which one
of you screwed up.

But if it was you,
here's a thought:

You could just apologize.

Or you could.

[Devan] She had a baby

who was three weeks old
when it disappeared,

and she lived
in that building.

I mean, Look at this.
She's a drug addict.

She did prison time
in the early '80s.

We've got her.Maybe.

All we need's
a DNA sample.

Which she can refuse
to provide.

And even if she is
the baby's mother,

who's to say
she killed her?

Maybe some loony tune
in the building

snatched the kid.

Let me do the talking.Okay.

Yes?

Hi, I'm Dr. Maguire

from the Medical
Examiner's office.

That is right, and--

You reported a baby
missing in 1985

when you were living
at 140 Alden Avenue.Yes?

I'm sorry.
I think we found her.

I don't understand.

The bones of an infant
have been found

in the cellar
of that building.

I need a DNA sample
from you for confirmation.

I'm sorry about that baby,

but it couldn't
possibly be mine.

That's my daughter.

The police found her three days after she disappeared

and brought her back to me.

Where'd you learn
your bedside manner,

Josef Mengele Med School?

Hey, the Missing Persons file
didn't say anything

about the baby being found.

I'll look into it.

I'll bring you that information
at the morgue.

It has to be her baby.

All of which we would've
had answered,

if you had let me handle it,

'cause we'd have
a DNA sample right now.

Excuse me, like you could've
done better?

In my sleep, honey.

Excuse me, sweetie.

Get in the car.
Get in your car, drive away.

Don't look back.
Thank you.

Hey, hey, wait a second.You're a doctor.

You wanna be a cop,

I'll get you
an application.

Garret?

Mmm?

It was none of my business.

I apologize.

Do I know you?

You got a time of death?

I've got a range.

8:00 to midnight.

What are you doing?

Whatever that shape is,

there's room for maybe

a couple, three letters
on each side.

So I'm trying to find something
that makes sense.

I don't think there's room
for more than two letters.

Okay, let's say you're right.

That would leave us with...

Okay, try that.

Golf clubs.

Doesn't look like a driver.

It's probably a long iron.

No, I'd say it's a putter.

I think it's
a two or three iron.

No, I think it's a putter.

Yeah, a putter.

[Jordan]
Okay.

That's some good work.

Did you take the blood

to Nigel for a tox screen?Yes, sir.

Did you tell him
it's priority?

That would've required me
to show some initiative, sir.

Which I can do on command.

You're having
way too much fun with this.

And speaking of initiative,

when I was
at the crime scene,

I took a sample
of vitreous potassium

from her left eye.

So if you'll take another sample
from her right eye,

that would enable you
to determine the rate

of postmortem increase,

which remains predictable
for 24 hours after death,

which would then help you

narrow down the time of death
estimate considerably.

Gosh, did that sound
like a tutorial?

Once again,
I am so sorry, sir.

[electric saw]

Where's Dr. Maguire?

Nigel! Where's Dr. Maguire?

At County General.

Why?

I don't know.

Why're you chopping up
the baby's bones?

Since you ask, madam has
insisted that I extract DNA,

though I have nothing
to match it against.

Bones don't contain DNA.
No, the marrow does.

But, yes,
marrow does decompose.

There are, however,
usually some residual cells.

The richest source for them
being the femur.

Hence, I have
carefully sectioned,

not chopped up,
that particular bone.

Now, I understand
that Althea Hurd may not,

after all, be the mother,

and that one has no idea
where to look next.

Which would mean
that all this work...

will be in vain if you
don't bring me somebody's DNA.

I'm working on it.

Hey, what's up, doc? [Garret]
Hi, Woody.

Nigel, Vitreous potassium.
Red cap was drawn first.

Run the rate of potassium
increase for me.

And I need the results on the
tox screen for Andrea Goddard.

Not finished.

Is there some reason
you haven't done the DNA tests?

Didn't Dr. Maguire
talk to you?

About what?

My fault, I thought you
pulled me off

to assist her on the case.

I sent you with her because
she's wet behind the ears.

That doesn't mean
you're her nanny for life.

All right,
I'm all over this DNA.

And the tox screen.

And the vitreous potassium.

Renee.

You could've just told me
you suspected foul play.

Why else would I have
been interested?

What do we have?

Injuries consistent
with a fall.

Cause of death,
broken neck.

Was it an accident
or wasn't it?

She was smacked in the head
with a golf club

from a set called Lady Steel.

You now hold in your hand
everything I know

about your cryptic case.

Have a nice day.

18 months ago, Harold Goddard
murdered his business partner.

My staff has tried ever since,
unsuccessfully,

to build a case against him.

Two days ago, his wife
agreed to cooperate

with the investigation.

I had him.

That's it?
That's the big secret?

I was looking ahead.

I was hoping to be able to build
this case against him.

I didn't want it to look like
I was gunning for him.

Given the circumstances,

we'd have done a full
autopsy anyway, you know.

Goddard has an unbreakable
alibi for 11:00 p.m.

I can help you there.

Look under Time of Death.

Are you sure?

Pure science.
She died before 10:00 p.m.

Could not possibly
have been alive after that.

Thanks, Garret.

I'm sorry I felt like I had
to keep you out of the loop.

Dinner?

8:00?

Pantini's?

You can get us in there?

What're you doing?

I wanted to see
Althea Hurd's maternity file.

It's not her baby.

I talked to the detective
who caught the case,

and he confirmed it.

Her baby was recovered
and returned to the mother.

Then why was the case
still open?

Clerical error.

The resolution never made it
to the file.

These things happen.Who took the baby?

They never found out.

Somebody made an anonymous call

that there was a baby
in a dumpster.

The baby was reunited
with the mother.

They lived happily
ever after.

Well, there's gotta be
some other missing baby.

Yeah, well, they are
fresh out of stock.

Devan, some cases
go unsolved.

Chances are, the baby was born
to somebody who lived in

or near that building.

Okay.

Which means the delivery
probably happened

here at County General.

The only place somebody

in that location
could afford.

You're kidding, right?

No, no, if we eliminate
all the boy babies,

all the other ethnic groups--

I have 32 active cases.

It's up to us to find out
what happened.

We've got to give
this baby a name.

All right, all right.

If you can find a way to get it
to a manageable number,

then and only then
you may call me.

I'm really sorry
I'm late.

That's okay.
We're all set.

You must feel like everybody's
all sorry for you.

Poor guy can't get a date,
has to drink alone.

I don't mind waiting
as long as I'm waiting for you.

The house red
isn't good enough tonight.

That is the best mood
I've seen you in lately.

I had Harold Goddard arrested
a half hour ago

for the murder
of his wife.

Is what it takes?

You want to arrest me?

I have handcuffs.

A bottle of '96
PV Private Reserve.

You're paying.

The arraignment is
tomorrow morning at 9:30.

Goddard's attorney is
Judith Mathisson.

She's a snake.

I want Jordan Cavanaugh there

to make it clear
this was no accident.

I did the autopsy.

What? Why?

When you show up in person

at the morgue demanding
a full autopsy...

What's the problem?

Judith Mathisson
will ride this pony

all the way around the track.

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Is there some reason,
Dr. Macy...

why you commandeered this case

away from the M.E.
who responded to the scene?

She and I worked
together on it.

I'd say you're hedging,
but let's move on.

If all the evidence at the scene

clearly indicated
an accidental death,

why did you perform
a full autopsy?

[Garret]
Because it was a violent,

unattended death.

Is that the only reason?

The District Attorney
requested it.

What reason
did she give you?

None.

Are you accustomed
to substituting her judgment

for your own?

That's like asking me
if I've stopped beating my wife.

Your Honor, the autopsy report
makes it clear

this is a homicide case.

Is Ms. Mathisson arguing
that it's not?

We could ask her.

For the past year
and a half,

Ms. Walcott has pursued
a vendetta against my client.

She is obsessed with making
a case, any case, against him.

Does counsel imagine
that Dr. Macy

shares this
phantom obsession?

If I may, Your Honor?

Keep it in the sphere
of reality, please.

Thank you.

The police report puts time
of death at 11:00 p.m.

You disagreed?

That was an early estimate.

Detailed testing puts the time
prior to 10:00 p.m.

And my client has no alibi
prior to 10:00.

Interesting, isn't it,

that your seizing the case
gave the District Attorney

the outcome she wanted?

Objection, Your Honor.

So I'll ask you again,
why did you do the autopsy?

Could it have anything to do
with the fact

that you and Ms. Walcott
are in a sexual relationship?

I think I'm going to require
your answer, Dr. Macy.

[Judge Ramono]
I'm dismissing
the charges, Ms. Walcott,

not because
of Ms. Mathisson's tactics,

but because the evidence
is insufficient at this time.

You can re-file if that changes.

Sorry.

Not your fault.

You gave me
everything you could.

And it's not over.

I meant I'm sorry
we got outed in open court.

This may not be workable.

You're gonna have to tell me
what you're talking about.

Us. This was a wake-up call.

A preview of what we're going
to face in the future.

But the judge didn't believe
you and I cooked up lies.

She just didn't think
you had the evidence.

Garret, we have a problem.
It needs discussion.

Okay, I do autopsies
and forward the results.

Not my job
to put criminals away.

If it's a problem for you,

you'll have to decide
what to do about it.

Could you be
any less forthcoming?

I just don't think
this is something

we have to worry about.

And I don't think
you do, either.

I think you want
an ironclad definition

of what this
relationship is.

I already have that.

Quicksand.

Oh!
I'm not even going to ask

how you talked County General
into doing this.

I've worked out a system.

I'll check each file,
and then you can--

Hold on, hold on.

This is gonna take
forever, okay?

I have other things to do.

More important than finding out
who this baby was

and what happened to her?

Everything we do here
is important

to somebody, Dr. Maguire.

Devan.

Please, Nigel, look, I will
do this myself if I have to,

but I could
really use some help.

No.

Way we can do it alone.

You find one other person
to pitch in--

And then we can do it
twice as fast.

Yeah.

Okay.

So who's an easy mark?

Baby boy.

Caucasian.

African-American female.

You finish the DNA test?

Hours upon hours
of meticulous labor.

Was that a yes?

Yes.

Do I want to know
what's going on here?

Oh--No.

Shouldn't we tell him
what we're doing?

[both]
No.

Next?

So what happened in court?

My guess is
you've already heard.

Well, I heard the part
that's none of my business.Right.

And I heard the judge
threw the case out.

But I don't know why.

Insufficient evidence
at this time.

You know, you're taking
this laconic thing way too far.

What do you want to know?

Details.

De-tails.

Goddard says he's
never even been inside

his wife's house,

and the cops found nothing
to contradict that.

His wife's golf clubs
were Lady Steels.

They're missing.

One of Goddard's neighbors
saw him take a set of clubs

from his car
around 10:30 that night.

He doesn't play golf.

Cops searched his house
for the clubs.

No clubs were found.

He doesn't have an alibi
for the revised time of death,

but neither do millions
of other people.

Is that enough?

They're not giving up
on the investigation, are they?

That look,
I know that tone.

Let the cops handle it.

If there were anything
for them to find,

they'd have it by now.

It's up to us, Garret.Let the cops handle it.

If you had let me do my job,
you wouldn't be in this mess.

I'm not in a mess.

If you don't find
somebody else to pester,

you will be.

I hold in my hand
the final folder.

Come on, open it.

I think you deserve
the honor.

And the winner is...

Boy.

How many?

More than we can do
in a lifetime.

Wait.

Most of these girls
didn't disappear.

So if we can eliminate them...

There are hundreds.

Well, as long
as you've got a name,

you can find anybody
on the computer now.

It'll take forever.

No, really, how long?

Have you taken over
Jordan's function

of badgering people
until they cave?

I'm in the apprentice program.
How am I doing?

Okay, Detective.

You said to call when I got it
down to a manageable number.

Is 14 a manageable number?

Do you have current addresses
for all of them?

Yes.

Are they all local?

More or less.

Margaret Houston, 39,

gave birth to a baby girl
in April of '86.

There's no indication

the child was ever enrolled
in school,

no social security number,
no death certificate.

My doorbell finger
is getting callused.

On the plus side,
this is our last file.

I just wanted you to know,

I really appreciate you
coming with me.

You probably couldn't tell,
but I'm still kinda new at this,

Detective Hoyt.

Call me Woody,

Dr. Maguire.

Devan.

Cool.

Hi, Margaret Houston.Yes.

I'm Detective Woody Hoyt,
Boston PD.

Oh, my God,
it's my son Malcolm, isn't it?

No, ma'am, this has nothing
to do with your son.

We're actually here
to ask about your daughter.

Both my kids are boys.

You gave birth
to a baby girl in 1986

at County General.

No, no, I didn't.

That must be another
Margaret Houston.

Okay, ma'am, let's
not be ridiculous here.

You can do one of two things.

You can give us
a DNA sample right now

or we can go get
a court order.

You do what you gotta do.

I'm not giving you
nothin'.

And I never had
any baby girl, okay?

The judge wouldn't give me
a subpoena.

He said refusal
to provide DNA

does not constitute
probable cause.

Then we've got no way to prove
the baby's hers.

I'm sorry.

Sometimes there's just nothing
we can do, you know?

I'm learning.

I blew my first case.

The funny thing is, I don't
even really care about that.

What gets me is
I can't do anything for her.

Thank you, guys.

I really appreciate
what you've done.

Detective Seely.

I'm Garret Macy,
Chief M.E.

What can I do for you?

The Goddard case.

Trying to get out
of the hole

you and the D.A.
dug for yourselves?

No, just wondering
if there's anything new.

Can't you people stay
on your own side of the fence?

I assume that means
your case is stalled out.

When I get the evidence
to convict Harold Goddard,

you can read about it
in the newspaper.

Or hear about it
in the bedroom.

Excuse me.

You say that again, kid,

you're gonna need somebody
else's teeth to chew with.

I'll stay out
of your love life,

if you'll stay out
of my case.

Whose case?

Mine.

Last I heard.

Well, you won't mind
if I sit in

on your interview
with Harold Goddard?

You're the D.A.

Yes.

Last I heard.

He's a charmer.

Hmm.

Where's your lawyer?

What am I, her babysitter?

I'd be more comfortable
if she were here, Mr. Goddard.

[Mr. Goddard]
Your comfort zone

doesn't exactly loom
on my horizon.

And I'm not shelling out
750 an hour

for something
I can handle myself.

Where were you from 8:00 to
10:00 the night your wife died?

I already answered that.

Well, answer it again.

Home alone.

Then why did your neighbor see you return home at 10:30

and take a set
of golf clubs out of your car?

How good a witness
you think she'll make?

87 years old
and blind as a bat.

You got anything new?

Listen, you arrogant
piece of--

You've got nothing on me,
little boy,

and you never will have.

No new questions,
no need to be here.

I'm leaving now.

We're going to get you.

You cooperate,
we can talk.

You don't, you're looking
at a life sentence.

Spend the money,
Mr. Goddard.

Talk to your lawyer.

Tell her what I said.

You've been lobbing
empty threats at me

for a long time, lady.

I'm still walking around.

And I certainly don't see
anybody in this room

that's gonna change that.

What are you doing?

I thought I'd give
this a try.

I've reconstructed the missing
doll parts from clay,

and now I'm fitting
the broken pieces

back where they belong.

Wow.

Is this going to help?

As it happens, this was
one of those gimmicky dolls.

You didn't just buy it.

You had to sign
"adoption" papers. Look.

Serial number?

Yup. And the company's
still in business.

And they've agreed
to help us track down the buyer

once we've got the number.

I know it's
a long shot, but...

One has to try.

This is...
Nigel, you're really...

Good? Kind?

Noble?

I'm sorry if I got
a little obnoxious.

Yeah, well.

I won't tell anyone
you're pushy,

if you don't tell them
I'm a pushover.

Deal.

[man]
Yeah, I remember.

I bought one of these.

What's this about?

What did you do
with the doll, Mr. Morton?

I sent it to my little girl.

You sent it?

Yeah, my girlfriend and I split
up before the baby was born.

Yeah, I got a little girl
out there somewhere.

Never even met her.

Where'd you get that?

It was found in the cellar
of an old tenement building.

Oh, god.

This is that story that was
on the news, isn't it?

The baby in the basement,

that was my daughter?

It seems likely.

The doll was buried
with the baby.

But what happened?

We don't know, Mr. Morton.

Why didn't you stay in touch
with your child?

Her mama shut me out.

I guess I should've made
more of a fuss about it,

but, you know, I--

And now you're telling me
she was dead all along?

Could we get a DNA sample
from you?

Just to be sure the baby is
yours and Margaret's.

Margaret?

Margaret Houston.

I don't know
any Margaret Houston.

My girlfriend's name
was Althea Hurd.

[Jordan] What are you? Scared of a test dummy?

Is it possible

that you could just once
do what I tell you to do?

You want to carp,
or you want to help?

Both.

The impact spatter is here.

So the blow must've come
from this direction, right?

Low velocity
spatter there.

That's where he was.

Then she must have been
about here.

Live your fantasy.

I've dreamed
about this day.

She smacked into the wall
around here.

She was found there,
and it doesn't compute.

Because there's no blood
until this step.

It's almost halfway down.

She must have been airborne
to get this far.

There's no way that one blow
could've done it.

So she didn't fall.

She crumpled.

[Garret]
And he threw
her down the stairs

to make it look like
an accident.

[Jordan]
Even reset her watch
and smashed it

to give himself an alibi.

[Garret]
If that's the way it happened,

he would have to lean down here to pick her up.

[Jordan]
And he might've left prints.

I read the police report.

CSU found prints right here.

Too smudged to identify.

They assumed they were hers.

Maybe they weren't.

Either he got lucky
with that planter

or he moved the body
just to make it look good.

Works for me.

I don't think
it'll work for a jury.

Well, you know, there are
people smarter than we are

who have figured out a way
to extract DNA

from fingerprint residue.

You're now looking at
two lawsuits for false arrest.

I don't think so, domehead.

Your lawyer's on her way.

When she gets here,
we'll talk.

[Renee] You're absolutely sure?

It's a match, Renee.

Goddard was in
his wife's house.

Smeared, unidentifiable
fingerprints

containing his DNA

mixed with her blood.

CSU should've found this.

Everybody makes mistakes.

Well, thank you, Garret.

I appreciate it.

I'm free tonight.

So am I.

What do you have in mind?

Why don't you decide?

You know what I want?

Tell me.

To hash this out.

You know, I'm just--

I'm--I'm really
not good at that.

Hmm.

I need to know
you care enough to try.

Renee, if you didn't work
so hard to put me

on the defensive,

I might be more willing
to have these discussions.

Maybe that's
our best trick:

Throwing each other
off balance.

I wanna find a way
to make this work.

Me too.

Maybe we need some time
to think about it.

If that's what you want.

If that's what I want?

Am I talking to myself?

Mr. Morton is indeed
the baby's father.

I knew Althea Hurd
was the mother.

Doesn't make sense.
She got her baby back.

She got a baby back.

It wasn't hers.

It had to be.

DNA doesn't lie.

We have to see a woman
about a baby.

I figured you'd be back.

Come on in.

[Woody]
You should know
a couple of things.

We've spoken with Jack Morton,

so we're pretty sure that
the deceased baby was yours.

And we found no indications
that the baby was murdered.

I got up one night.

And she was dead.
Just dead.

Why didn't you
call the police?

I was a messed-up
drug addict back then.

I was afraid
they'd think I killed her.

So you buried her
with the doll.

Then I cried all night.

And in the morning,
I reported her missing.

When the detective
brought me the baby

they found in the dumpster,

it was like God gave me
a second chance.

Does she know?

No, she thinks
she's my daughter.

She is my daughter.

I'll have to tell her,
won't I?

What's her name?

Gloria.

Gloria Hurd.

Thank you.

You're not gonna take
Gloria away?

You're not gonna arrest me?

She's 18, isn't she?

Yes, she is.

Well, then she's an adult.

Yes, you broke
a few laws.

But I'm sure that the statute
ran out a long time ago.

Two people who were
the same person.

One dead, one alive.

I have no idea
what the procedure is.

Is the mother claiming
the body?

Funny talking about this
as a body.

Yeah, she wants
a proper burial.

I'll look into it.

Hey, I brought you
some health food.

You gotta keep
your strength up.

Thank you.

Yeah.

I heard that you
aced your first test.

Yeah, went the extra mile.

Good job.

The old cases are the hardest.

Yeah, this was...

this was...

You know, why don't
we leave this

for the graveyard shift.

They really love sugar.

Lily and I know
this great bar

where we can all
get stupefied for free.
