Description:

In the conclusion of the season-ending two-parter, Jordan's quest for her mother's killer leads her to the trunk of an abandoned Ford and the 23-year-old skeleton of a murdered Boston detective. When the firestorm created by this discovery prompts Garret to remove the vigilant M.E. from the case, she pushes forward on her own in the search for answers --and discovers more of her father's demons in the process. Meanwhile, Woody takes over the search for the cop-killer and gains an unlikely partner in the chief of police.

Quotes:

Woody: …I’m actually going to ask you how you came to call this in knowing full well you’re going to lie to me.
Jordan: We gotta stop hanging out together, you learnt all my moves.
Woody: I was having a pleasant, slightly erotic dream just 40 minutes ago Jordan.
Jordan: Then I guess you and Woody Junior are going to be disappointed because I’m not in the mood to analyze your dreams.

Garret: You know I’ve really tried to be a friend to you Jordan.
Jordan: Don’t play the friend card Garret it’s cheap.

Garret: …Do you have any idea how far up my ass city hall is going to be on this one?
Jordan: Wow, there’s an image.

Woody: …Shouldn’t Jordan be here?
Bug: What, you didn’t hear? Macy kicked her off the case.
Woody: Really, why?
Bug: I don’t know, maybe it has something to do with the fact that ME’s usually get to the body after the police.

Peter: …So this is how we are going to get to know one another? We are going to develop a bond, you know, a sense of trust and understanding?
Jordan: Well, lets not get ahead of ourselves.

Lily: …I though we’d talk.
Jordan: What about?
Lily: What do you mean, ‘what about’? You opened the trunk Jordan!
Jordan: Yeah, I know, I guess I got a little to curious.

Malden: …I understand an ME found the body.
Rene: We’ll need to speak with him.
Garret: That particular medical examiner’s been reassigned.
Rene: Reassigned?
Garret: She had other commitments.
Rene: She?
Garret: Dr. Cavanaugh.
Rene: Jordan. Why doesn’t that surprise me?

Jordan: (to Malden) 10, yeah, you held my hand as you walked me into the department of children’s services. That was right after you led my father away in handcuffs!

Nigel: How do you do it Jordan?
Jordan: How do I do what?
Nigel: Dr. Macy gave me specific orders not to speak to you, nut you pull me into it any way, the black-hole of lies and deceit, inevitably ending in the termination of my employment.
Jordan: What are you talking about?
Nigel: We all care for you Jordan, that’s the sad part. No-one more than I. But even I have a pain threshold upon which time I will scream ‘uncle’!

Jordan: Not a word of this to Macy, understand, you gotta hide it, bury it!
Nigel: …No! If I’m going to go out on a limb here, you need to tell me whose print this is.
Jordan: It belongs to my brother!
Garret: Your what?

Garret: Did I or did I not ask you if there was something else I should know?
Jordan: Ok, you’re right, so I may have left out a few minor details.
Garret: You have some psycho long lost brother who may or may not have killed your mother, you call that a minor detail?

Jordan: Please. Think of all the years we’ve known each other. All the trust we’ve built up.
Garret: (gives her a look) You’re joking right?
Jordan: Okay. Okay. So that argument’s a little flawed. So do it for me.

Rene: He’s protecting you isn’t he?
Jordan: Do I look like I need protection?
Rene: So, who’s it going to be Garret?
Garret: No, I’m not going to play that game…(Renee walks out)…tick tock!

Peter: …let me ask you something, do I look stupid?
Jordan: Not particularly,

Peter: (to Jordan)… I’m sorry if I didn’t get the memo that we’re all supposed to put our jobs on the line for you…

Woody: Nigel, any luck with those prints?
Nigel: What prints?
Woody: The prints from the car!

Rene: (to Nigel) Save it for your interrogation. You’ll recognize me, I’ll be the one not wearing handcuffs.

Woody: Herman Reading?
Rene: Funny, I think I’d remember the name of a man I shot and killed.
Woody: Oh, him.

Nigel: Look, maybe I should speak to a lawyer.
Rene: I am a lawyer!

Garret: Renee, what the hell do you think you’re doing?
Rene: You’re a day late and a dollar short Garret! I got what I came for.
Garret: These are my people, and that is my morgue.
Rene: I’m sorry, but all complaints must be submitted in writing.

Rene: …You can screw me, nut you can’t screw with me!

Jordan: (to James) Did you kill my mother?

Lily: You’re not going to take any responsibility for this are you?
Garret: Listen Lily, I’ve known Jordan a long time. Sometimes she disappears, she comes back, its like the seasons…
Lily: See, I think it works for you that she is obsessive and compulsive. Chasing ghosts she’ll never find. I think it makes you feel superior, in control. If she’s not her, then you’re not you.
Garret: I’m sorry am I getting psycho-analyzed here?
Lily: No, I’m just tired of not saying the things that I feel…

Garret: I gotta get out of this job!

Bug: I heard about your inquisition.
Nigel: Otherwise known as my finest hour… I feel like Judas…This is where you’re supposed to tell me that I did the right thing.
Bug: How could you Nigel?
Nigel: I was thinking of my own arse if you really must know!
Bug: We are nothing if we don’t stick together. We are misfits, we’re cretins. Look at us we don’t even get the girl in the end.
Nigel: Speak for yourself mate!
Bug: We don’t live happily ever after, no, we huddle together, in mass and collectively fight for our patch of dry land…
Nigel: Yeah, right, so you’re telling me you wouldn’t have done the exact same thing?
Bug: I would have sung like a canary!
Nigel: You know what the pathetic thing is, I’d help her again!
Bug: Yeah, well that’s because she’s hot!
Nigel: Who? Jordan?
Bug: What you’re telling me you’ve never noticed?
Nigel: Well, yeah, she’s certainly extremely attractive, but that can’t be the reason.
Bug: Think about it Nigel, why do blokes like us do half the things we do in life?
Nigel: See, there you go again lumping us together.
Bug: Face it, we’re tied to her like puppets, she pulls our strings and we dance!
Nigel: Puppets indeed!

Malden: …You want answers, have a seat, we’ll discuss this. Now, how do you take your scotch?
Jordan: Neat.

Malden: I want you to know that your mother and I cared for one another.
Jordan: Like I give a rats ass if you did or not!

Lily: Alright, I think you’re a coward. You talk a big game, on evolving, on changing; it’s a dawn of a new day. A load of crap, you’re still the same oppressed, tortured guy you were the day I met you. And the sad thing is, you had a chance to change it all, I was that chance Garret! But you choked, and why? To evolve, to change, to grow? No, to run back to your ex-wife, wow, how is that for growth?!
Garret: So, let me get this straight, you’re saying I’m a coward?
Lily: Yeah, that’s what I’m saying.
Garret: You’re saying I don’t know how to take a risk?
Lily: I’m saying you wouldn’t know a risk if it stood up on its hind legs and bit you on your ass!
Garret: I don’t take risks?
Lily: No
Garret: Okay. (kisses her)
Rene: Is this a bad time?
