00:23Everything ready?
00:24Yeah, where's Rene?
00:25Probably still dealing with the fire department.
00:27Makes this the perfect time.
00:28Let's do it.
00:39Valerie.
00:40Uh, yeah.
00:41Boss wants to see you in the conference room in ten minutes.
00:45Am I in trouble?
00:46He doesn't think I pulled the fire alarm, does he?
00:48Just says he wants to talk to you.
00:55I need to know the spelling, right?
01:12Excuse me.
01:12Um, hello?
01:27Is anyone here?
01:31Surprise!
01:33Surprise!
01:33Kids, you almost gave me a heart attack.
01:37Is this all for me?
01:38Well, technically it's for all the second quarter birthdays at Tabula Rasa Marketing.
01:42Yeah, the party budget's not what it used to be.
01:45Excuse me.
01:47Oh, shh, shh, shh.
01:49Come on, we're trying to have a party here.
01:55All right, stop looking at my underwear, perv.
01:58No, I was just trying to deliver my package.
02:00I bet you were.
02:02No, not like that.
02:05Good to meet Chester.
02:07It's Teddy.
02:11I gotta go, something's come up.
02:13Happy birthday, Ballard.
02:15Let's have some cake, everybody.
02:21Let's have some cake, everybody.
02:49Hey, can you hear me?
02:52I'm stuck down here.
02:54Hello?
03:20Somebody get me out of here!
03:23Somebody get me out of here!
03:27Help!
03:37Hold up here.
03:40So, uh, you need the victim?
03:42Yes, her name is Renee Dorsett.
03:44She was a receptionist in our office.
03:46Is my leg broken?
03:47When was the last time you saw Ms. Dorsett?
03:51Alive.
03:52She was at her desk this morning.
03:53Ow, ow, ow!
03:55Okay, time's up, officer.
03:56I gotta get this guy out of here.
04:10God.
04:13You find anything up there?
04:15I can't do anything until Tom shows up
04:17and gets rid of this body.
04:18Lone one's on his way.
04:19Mr. Wolfe.
04:21The fire axe is missing up here, gentlemen.
04:24The victim worked on the 19th floor.
04:27How's it possible that she got axe
04:29and nobody saw it?
04:30You may have covered it with a fire alarm, Mr. Wolfe.
04:34So let me get this straight.
04:36The killer manages to get everybody out of the building
04:38so that there are no witnesses.
04:40He chops up the victim.
04:41He sticks her on top of an elevator.
04:44I don't know about you,
04:45but it seems like it takes hard work to kill somebody.
04:51Harder...
04:52Harder...
04:52than people think.
04:54Yeah!
05:16We don't get fooled again.
05:20Don't get fooled again.
05:24No, no!
05:54Hey, Tom, you still up there?
05:59No, Ryan.
06:00I'm on lunch break.
06:01Is there any chance we're going to see a body anytime soon?
06:03You just need to free your ankle from the pulley.
06:06Her leg was tangled up in the pulley.
06:08That must have been what caused the accident.
06:10As the cab went down,
06:12her ankle got caught in the pulley,
06:13causing the guide rail cable to slowly slip off the track.
06:16When the line finally released,
06:18it caused free fall
06:18until the emergency flyweights kicked in.
06:23Well,
06:24Callie and Jessie are on the 19th floor.
06:26We think that's where she was dropped into the elevator shaft.
06:29Callie and Jessie are on the train.
06:38Hey, Jessie.
06:39This is definitely where she was killed.
06:41The Fire Axe is missing.
06:43Got a lot of cleaned-up blood over here.
06:45There it is.
06:53looks like the killer wiped down renee's blood the spatter pattern has been obscured
07:13there are about a thousand prints here it's gonna be tough to tell which one came last
07:25hey jesse will you take a look at this
07:34what's that i think it's dye gel you know the kind they use to catch people who pull false alarms
07:40yeah i bet your killer already tried to wash his hands even if they did water spreads it then the
07:45tiniest amount of fluid will activate a small amount of crevice or fingernail this sounds like
07:51a perfect recipe for a court order to test these employees
08:02all right listen up we're going to be testing everyone uh can i start with the three of you
08:06line up over here please
08:10shouldn't we be home
08:14you know like with our families during this time one of our own was just murdered unfortunately one
08:21of your own may be responsible i need you to put your hands out please
08:32you're clear
08:36are you saying that the killer might still be here that's what we're hoping
08:43okay you're clear thank you
08:54oh my god valerie you killed renee no i didn't okay get everybody out of here now back to the
09:02office
09:05all right you pulled the alarm uh well yeah
09:18i thought i smelled smoke
09:20i think i smell a lie
09:23did you kill renee dorsett
09:26no no no no the only reason i pulled the fire alarm was because i had to pick my boyfriend
09:32up from the airport
09:33oh that makes perfect sense
09:37i know i sound crazy right now but it really was the only way
09:41i needed more than the allotted 60 minute lunch break to get to the airport and back
09:46and renee's desk is right in the middle of the floor she sees everything
09:52okay correct me if i'm wrong renee was the receptionist
09:55more like office nazi
09:57my boyfriend said that he called a dozen times yesterday but i never got any of the messages
10:03why not
10:04little miss hall monitor never gave them to me
10:07i don't know what she says to the boss behind their closed door meetings but
10:12i'm pretty sure she's getting people fired
10:15that new guy in accounting is totally stealing from the supply closet
10:19and susan is always online planning her wedding during business hours
10:25sounds like motive
10:27i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you and renee dorsett never really got along
10:31look i wasn't the only person who had a problem with renee
10:34who else
10:36only everyone else in the office
10:41jerry
10:42she's coming down
11:02okay very nice let's get this young woman some transportation please
11:18hey i got something
11:19what'd you find
11:20looks like a piece of ceramic
11:22came off the victim
11:23could indicate a struggle
11:26could you drag this stepladder back in here
11:28hey tom
11:29there's a picture of a little boy on here
11:31i don't think renee was a mother
11:32in fact i believe trip mentioned her next of kin being out of state
11:36this could have been left by a lumberjack
11:40uh ryan um
11:42could i come down
11:44the ladder
11:46we uh found this next to the body
11:48it's
11:49looks like a piece of a coffee mug
11:52and on it was a photo of a red-haired boy
11:54according to your co-workers that's your son
11:56yeah that coffee mug was a father's day gift
11:58i was kind of wondering where it went
12:00well then i guess i'm wondering why your father's day gift ended up next to renee dorset's body
12:05anything left on the drying rack is fair game
12:07somebody probably just walked off with it
12:13walter
12:15walter you're being a little creepy
12:18yeah watch this
12:31why does this picture look like it came from a magazine
12:33it is
12:34because that boy is not his son
12:36he's a catalog model

13:54dad
13:57all right
13:58ryan and walter took our faux family man downstairs

16:35oh
16:39well look at that
16:40well
16:41i guess we caught teddy on his lunch break
16:44you'd think a co-worker getting murdered might ruin a man's appetite
16:48not unless
16:52it was his idea
16:59so the bloody towels were matched to our victim but the ceiling dweller is feigning innocence
17:04so you want to tie him to the body
17:06fingers crossed
17:12six and a quarter inches

22:01look i was only using a teensy weensy bit at a time
22:05well it's just a teensy weensy felony
22:08and i just wanted to make her sick enough to stay home
22:38okay
22:51so
22:52i
22:53so
23:138. Take a look at what I found at Rene's desk.
23:16If you ruined my life, you'll pay for what you've done.
23:21Mr. Wolfe, this is a death threat.
23:24Yeah, there's no signature. Maybe we could trace it back to one of her co-workers.
23:28Note the date.
23:31It's June 2007. That's over two years ago.
23:34Yes, before Rene went to work at the ad agency.
23:38I guess it looks like someone's been trying to kill her a lot longer than we thought.
24:01I should have been a receptionist.
24:03How does a single woman afford this house on $30,000 a year?
24:08Maybe she has a rich family.
24:09I want one of these.
24:12All right, let's focus.
24:13We need to figure out if someone outside of the office wanted her dead.
24:16Well, look at this.
24:17I mean, somebody was definitely in a hurry to get out of here.
24:20These tire tracks look fresh.
24:22Okay, so maybe the confrontation began here and then ended at the office.
24:26I'll check it out.
24:28I guess that means you and I will take the inside.
24:30I guess it does.
24:31I guess it does.
25:19So what was Rene Dorset doing two years ago?
25:23I mean, aside from receiving threatening letters?
25:26Well, I'm thinking if we can figure out what she was doing back then,
25:28we might be able to learn who sent her the letter.
25:32Check that out.
25:33Yeah, our victim got an MBA from one of the most prestigious business schools in the country.
25:43So why was she working the front desk?
26:07It says here that in 2007, Rene Dorset was a vice president of a major investment firm.
26:13Oh, yeah?
26:14Well, I got a checking register right here for a couple of years ago.
26:18And?
26:18And starting in 2007, she made monthly payments to a local cemetery.
26:25For what?
26:40Well, I'm afraid I can't identify a specific vehicle with motor oil.
26:44If you had a car for me to compare it to...
26:46Wait, wait, wait, wait.
26:47You still haven't run through the FDIR?
26:49I don't expect you to know this, but all of the motor oil used in this country has the
26:53same basic chemical structure, the same chemical maker.
26:57This is a waste of my time and yours.
26:59Okay.
27:00Give it a try.
27:00I have a hunch.
27:02Based on what?
27:03Based on the tire treads I found at the scene, they were bias ply and they were awfully narrow.
27:07What does that mean?
27:08It means run the sample.
27:12All right, fine.
27:15At least now you've got me interested.
27:17No, that's good.
27:21You found a girlfriend yet, Travers?
27:33Normal, normal.
27:35Hold up.
27:36What is it?
27:371,600 parts per million of zinc dialkyl diphyphosphate.
27:42Is that strange?
27:43It's very high.
27:44It's been decades since that amount of phosphorus has been allowed in motor oil.
27:48So we're talking old oil.
27:50More likely an older car.
27:51You know, a lot of classic car collectors do use oil specifically designed for their older cars.
27:58A classic car?
27:59You see, I knew there was something up with those treads.
28:02Well, southern Florida's got the perfect climate for classic cars.
28:05Now, probably hundreds, if not thousands.
28:07How are you going to find the one that ran over your victim's lawn?
28:10Well, you know, I'm going to start with our known suspects, Travers.
28:27I'm Mark Bullock.
28:29I understand you gentlemen want to see me?
28:31Yes, Mr. Bullock.
28:32You have lemon peel in your time tray.
28:35Okay.
28:36Is that a crime?
28:38It is when you get it doing donuts.
28:40And Rene Dorsett's front yard's smart ass.
28:47I'll show you.
28:48No, no, no, no, stop!
28:52Oh, my God!
29:00Now, hold on, hold on.
29:01You vandalized her property just this morning, Mr. Bullock.
29:04No, no.
29:07It was yesterday.
29:09You want to tell me what happened?
29:11I got this call that H.R. wanted to see me today at 4.30.
29:15Now, we all know that's the kiss of death.
29:16So you blame Rene for that?
29:19Mark?
29:21What the hell are you doing?
29:24Hey!
29:25Let's see if your stupid lemons win any ribbons this year, bitch.
29:29Have you lost it?
29:30No, no, but I am going to get fired, but you already knew that, didn't you?
29:33What?
29:34No.
29:35I'm sorry, Mark.
29:36I didn't know.
29:37Yeah, right.
29:38You're the one who told the boss that I brought my dog to work, didn't you?
29:42So, you were pissed when she got you axed, so you axed her in return.
29:46Is that the story?
29:46No, no.
29:47Now, I was angry at first, and I realized it wasn't her fault.
29:51I had it all backwards.
29:53I told him that that was your service dog.
29:56Mark didn't tell you?
29:59His seizures have gotten a lot worse, and the doctor ordered him to get a dog.
30:04I don't have epilepsy.
30:05I know.
30:07Rene, what are you talking about?
30:09They've been laying people off for months, and I've been in this business long enough to see the signs.
30:13I didn't want anyone, you know, from our department to suffer.
30:16You were covering for me?
30:18You've been riding our backs all this time because you were protecting us?
30:22Yes.
30:25I know a few people who maybe might be looking for a good jingle guy.
30:29I'll put you in touch after you help me replant my garden.
30:34So, it was her complaining that actually saved your job?
30:39Yeah, that's what I think.
30:42It was just too bad that she died before the rest of the office realized.
30:45I'm going to have to take you in while we check out your story.
30:50Mr. Wolfe.
30:52So, I tracked down the cemetery that Rene Dorsett was sending checks to.
30:55And?
30:56She's having flowers delivered to her gravesite every month.
30:59This is the caretaker of the cemetery.
31:02Officers, I'm Luis.
31:03Luis, thank you for coming in.
31:05And, uh, this is the plot that, uh, Ms. Dorsett paid me to tend.
31:13Paid Shoreham.
31:14She was only 28 when she died.
31:17Luis, did Rene mention how they knew each other?
31:20I think they must have been close.
31:23She came every Friday and she always brought flowers.
31:51I tried to console her, uh, asked her what was wrong.
31:55Did she say anything?
31:57She said she was, uh, going to hell.
32:01Okay.
32:02What were the flowers, Luis?
32:05Um, the same.
32:06Every time, uh, purple hyacinth.
32:11Rene Dorsett was asking for forgiveness.
32:14Yes, the question is, forgiveness for what?
32:21I got the police report on Paige Storm's death.
32:24Great.
32:24Let's check it out.
32:33Clear some room here.
32:36All right, well, it looks like we've ruled out any foul play.
32:39It was a clear-cut suicide.
32:41Girl jumps from bridge, there were witnesses.
32:43Yeah, she even left a note.
32:47You know what?
32:47Pull that up.
32:48Let's see if she wrote the note under duress.
32:55Wait a second.
32:56What?
32:58What?
32:58I scanned something in.
33:01Yeah, right there.
33:02This is the threatening letter that Ryan found on Rene's desk.
33:05On the right is Paige Storm's suicide note.
33:08Kelly, look at the handwriting.
33:14It's the same.
33:16Exactly.
33:18Okay, so Paige sent Rene the letter.
33:22Before she killed herself.
33:23You know what, let's find out more about Paige.
33:25Does she have an obituary?
33:26Well, she should.
33:28Here it is.
33:30Paige Storm was distraught after being fired from her job at Gressinger McDowell, an investment
33:35firm.
33:36Gressinger McDowell is where Rene worked.
33:38Do you think it's coincidence?
33:39No, I don't.
33:39I think this is the connection we want.
33:43Despite windfall profits in 2007, Gressinger McDowell decided to axe its workforce by 20%.
33:50Kelly, look.
33:51Right here.
33:52It says the initiative, an attempt to maximize productivity and profits for the firm, was
33:56initiated by Rene Dorset, vice president.
33:59Okay, so Rene Dorset fired Paige.
34:03Paige committed suicide.
34:04Rene felt responsible for Paige's death.
34:08Maybe that's why she decided to be a receptionist.
34:11She didn't want to have to fire anyone ever again.
34:13You change all you want, you can't escape your past.
34:17You know that obituary said that Paige had a fiancé.
34:19Will you see if you can find him?
34:21Sure.
34:26His name was Jeffrey Lipton.
34:28Oh my god, that's the guy from the elevator.
34:33What does Paige have to do with anything?
34:35She was your fiancé, for one.
34:37Yeah, we were, um, we were saving up for the wedding when she passed.
34:43Jeffrey, we know that Paige and Rene Dorset had history.
34:47Yeah, you know, I'm sorry, this really isn't a good time.
34:51Why?
34:53Planning a trip, Mr. Lipton?
34:56I need you to leave my property.
35:03You need to get some evidence ASAP.
35:06Otherwise, Jeffrey Lipton's gonna split town.
35:08Hey, Jesse, are you still by the courthouse?
35:11Oh, good.
35:12We need a warrant.
35:19Well, I searched Jeffrey's house.
35:21I didn't find the clothes that he was wearing this morning.
35:24Yeah, I'm not having any luck with the, uh, suitcase either.
35:27You know, you think it's strange that Jeffrey Lipton kills Rene Dorset and throws her down an elevator shaft,
35:32and the elevator was working fine all morning until the moment he steps in.
35:34What do you think?
35:35She was trying to, uh, avenge her own death from the grave?
35:38I don't know, but if so, we are really letting her down.
35:41Gentlemen, Jeffrey's missing clothes.
35:45Wow.
35:46The hospital was planning to dispose of them tonight.
35:48Huh.
35:50Well, let's take a look at this.
36:00These strands are fibrin.
36:03Dense centers to the spatter.
36:12Yeah, they've got a fried egg appearance.
36:15It's consistent with partial blood clotting.
36:17Which would make sense, because Rene was killed before she fell through the elevator shaft.
36:22Well, look at this.
36:24Well, this blood's a little different.
36:31Look at that.
36:35Gentlemen, that drop of blood was fresh when it hit the shirt.
36:39All the spatter from the elevator should be gravitational, low velocity.
36:47Yeah, but this one has an elliptical shape,
36:50which suggests that the blood came in horizontally, not vertically.
36:53Yeah, the size and tail, I mean, this is medium velocity.
36:56I think we're looking at paramortem backspider.
36:59Created by an axe to the head.
37:09So you, uh, killed Rene during the fire alarm.
37:12Are you kidding me?
37:13The blood on your shirt confirms it, Jeffrey.
37:17I got Rene's blood on me when she fell into the elevator.
37:20After you killed her.
37:29I bet you had the surprise of your life.
37:31You saw her body hanging there after you killed her this morning.
37:42I took the job at Tabula Rasa just to get nearer.
37:45So you planned on killing her the whole time?
37:47I wanted to figure her out.
37:49It didn't make sense that she was working as a receptionist.
37:51Paige's suicide really changed her life, didn't it?
37:55Well, not as much as it changed mine.
37:57You think this is funny?
38:01Do you?
38:04I worked with her for over a year.
38:07I watched her.
38:09And I waited.
38:11Is anybody else up here?
38:13Hello?
38:14Rene.
38:16I've been, uh, I've been wanting the moment alone with you for a while now.
38:19Okay, Jeff, it's just, it's gonna have to wait.
38:21We gotta get downstairs.
38:25What are you doing with that?
38:27You killed my fiancée.
38:29What?
38:30Paige Shoram?
38:34Jeffrey, I'm sorry.
38:36I have completely turned my life around since then.
38:39No, no.
38:41You're exactly the same.
38:44No, no, no.
38:46I'll be there for a while.
38:46I'll be there for a while.
38:47You've got to go.
38:47Hey, that's what I want.
38:48We've got to go.
38:48Let's go.
38:51You've got to go.
38:52You've got to go.
38:52No, no!
38:52Nothing.
39:03I've got to go.
39:04I don't know.
39:35I don't know.
40:04I'll take him.
40:37I don't know.
41:04I don't know.
41:30I don't know.
41:47I don't know.
41:48That's not a bad idea.
41:50Really?
41:50Yeah.
41:51Oh, come on.
41:51Oh, come on.
41:59Oh, come on.
42:21Oh, come on.
42:28Oh, come on.
42:29Oh, come on.
