Written by: Tim Kring
Directed by: Allan Arkush
Original Air Date:
23 September 2002
Description:
3000 miles from Boston, Jordan continues her search—with
her unwilling companion, Det. Woody Hoyt—for the man who
might know the truth about her mother's murder and put
the young medical examiner's childhood demons to rest.
In the wake of his notorious corner's disappearance,
Garret must stop a brutal serial killer preying on the
streetwalkers of Boston, while sizing the auspicious new
addition to his department, Dr. Elaine Duchamps, and
avoiding the political fury surrounding the case while
protecting his friend, District Attorney Jack Olson. Max
struggles with his own legal issues, as he faces
criminal charges due to his involvement in the recently
unearthed Redding case.

Quotes:
Cop 1: Well, I guess you have a few friends after
all.
Detective: We made a few phone calls. You don’t have
too many friends back there.
Jordan: I have a people skills problem.
Jordan: Woody, you know I can't go back with you.
Woody: Yeah, you can.
Jordan: You're never going to find him.
Woody: Yeah, and look at where it got you.
Jordan: He's here in L.A.
Woody: So, are 10 million other people. It's over
Jordan, let it go. (pause) Oh, so you know where to find
him? Ah. You got a phone number? Do you have a lead?
Jordan: None of the above.
Woody: Your father, Jordan.
Jordan: What about him?
Woody: He's being investigated for framing
Redding. Internal Affairs, the D.A.'s office, they're
all gunning for him. They're talking felony charges
because of you. When was the last time you spoke to him?
You don't have to be a lunatic your whole life. Why
don't you just come home? He needs you. Actually, the
truth is--I need you. I've got two tickets back to
Boston. The plane leaves at 10 tonight.
Jordan: (takes ticket without comment)
Jordan: Make sure all my stuff is here.
Woody: (takes Jordan's gun) Sorry, can't let you
keep this.
Jordan: That's my gun.
Woody: Yeah. You can have it when we get back to
Boston. Consider yourself in protective custody until
then. Bullets.
Jordan: Does the prisoner at least get to make a
phone call?
Woody: Yes, one phone call, and I suggest you
call your father.
Nigel: Is Woody there with you?
Woody: I have handcuffs Jordan. I have a gun too.
Don’t make me use them.
Woody: Alright stay here. I’ll handle this.
Jordan: What?!
Woody: You think this guys going to want to talk to
you after you chased him down and stuck a gun in his
face?
Jordan: Good point.
Woody: We are breaking so many laws right now.
Jordan: Then what’s a few more.
Woody: Jordan the man is a killer. You’re not
even armed.
Jordan: Jeez I wonder why?
Jordan: So, that address that you were asking
about?
Woody: Jordan, you looked me in the eye back
there, and you promised me that we'd be on that plane
tonight.
Jordan: Yes, and I have every intention of
keeping that promise. But, I just got a lead Woody.
Woody: I have handcuffs, Jordan. I have a gun
too! Don't make me use them!
Jordan: All right. Uh...Look, you know we have
nine hours until that flight leaves. How about we go
check the address out. If no one's there, we'll go
straight to the airport.
Woody: Do you know how many laws we're breaking?
I'm a cop 3,000 miles from home.
Jordan: I always did prefer the low-tech
approach.
Woody: The only place we're going is the airport.
Jordan: Woody, you said you'd help me.
Woody: What? No, I never said that.
Jordan: Yes, you did. The night that I left
Boston, you said that you'd come with me, and that you'd
help me find him.
Woody: That's not fair, Jordan.
Jordan: Look, I've waited 22 years to find out
who killed my mother. I've got an address, 785 Gower.
I'm going there. And if you're a man of your word,
you'll come with me. If not, I'll see you later.
Woody: It's 783.
Jordan: Thought I'd buy you lunch.
Woody: Lunch...Just like that?
Jordan: Yeah, you still eat, right?
Woody: I shot and killed a man 3,000 miles out of
my jurisdiction, Jordan! Nine hours--Nine hours of
intense interrogation, starting with the impossible
question of what the hell was I doing out there in the
first place. Yeah, it's bad.
Jordan: I'm sorry, Woody.
Woody: You should be. (pause) You know a Dr.
DuChamps down at the morgue?
Jordan: Yeah, she's new. Why?
Woody: I caught the Purgatory case. She asked for
me specifically. You want to tell
me why?
Jordan: I don't know. But I would watch my back.
Woody: He could have killed you, Jordan.
Jordan: Look, I said I was sorry.
Woody: Sorry, isn't going to cut it, okay. He
could have killed you.
Jordan: I was really messed up then. But it's all
behind me now. It's over...really. It's over.
Woody: You obviously can't help yourself, you
know. You're like an alcoholic, but I'm not going to be
the guy that buys you a drink and pretends that the last
six weeks of your life never happened! I'm not that guy.
Garret: If I give you your job back, don't you
ever run away again.
Jordan: I will try not to.
Jordan: I’ve got problems Garret.
Garret: There’s an understatement!
Woody: Alright stay here. I’ll handle this.
Jordan: What?
Woody: You think this guys going to want to talk
to you after you chased him down and stuck a gun in his
face?
Jordan: Good point.
Bug: I don’t trust her.
Garret: Why’s that?
Bug: She insists on calling me Mahesh. Only my
parents call me Mahesh. It’s creepy.
Jordan: Look I said I was sorry.
Woody: Sorry isn’t going to cut it. He could have
killed you.
Jordan: You need me to remind you that anything
is possible. You need a constant thorn in your ass. And
like it or not I’m that thorn.
Bug: Often used in museums to clean bones to a
highly polished finished.
Woody: Well that’s all fine and disgusting, but
how does it help us?
