Episode 10,
Season 4
Title: A Stranger Among Us
Written
by: Andi Bushell
Directed by:
Jesús Salvador Treviño
Original Air Date:
2 January 2005
Description:
A
mass homicide at a local diner has Woody searching for a
motive until the FBI reveals the alleged shooter's
identity. They link the killer to a recently arrested drug kingpin.
Skeptical of the FBI's account of the crime, Woody relies on Jordan and Garret to help uncover
the true coarse of events. Bug and Sydney's ongoing turf war
continues to causes problems when during a routine autopsy they
mistakenly give the victim's wife a more than her
husband's personal effects.

(Stranger)
Random Facts:
For the first 3 seasons
Jordan complained about her parking spacing being taken or not being able to
find a spot—and rightly so. Trying to park in Boston (if it’s not in a garage
is insane). Suddenly (after 3 years of not having one) in this episode the
morgue has a parking garage under it. You either start with one or not. You
can’t just have a parking garage appear suddenly out of the blue. It’s not
something you just ‘up and add’ to a building.
Goofs:
Character dies at a Boston
Bruins game but there was no NHL hockey in 2004/2005.
Timeline Screw up: Bug
mentions that he'd been working at the morgue for 8 years. He's in the
flashbacks in The Gift of Life, which is supposed to take place 8+ years before
season one. Add four years (for the first four seasons) and it comes out
to at least 12+ years which means the writers messed up their timeline.
Music:
Comin' Around, Steve Earle with
Emmylou Harris
Quotes:
Woody: Look who it is the
Fantastic four.
Garret: Brace yourself he’s in suck-up mode.
Jordan: Wrong place, wrong time. Welcome to
Boston.
(talking about tourist lady who was killed)
Garret: Don’t start with conspiracy theory
Jordan. It’s still too early in the morning.
Jordan: Come on Garret. Take a step over to the
dark side. You know you want to.
Lily: Remember it’s not fun.
Sydney: You say that it’s gotta be fun.
Lily: It’s not.
Bug: It’s about respect. The kind of respect I
show for Jordan. The kind she shows for Dr. Macy.
Lily: (laughs) She does?
Jordan (on phone): Fine. Okay you need a quote.
How about, regardless of the FBI statement we are still
processing evidence and have not reached a conclusion.
End quote. Yeah…that’s piss them off. No wait! Don’t
quote me on that.
Woody: Samantha Ray just used her credit card
about six minutes ago.
FBI Agent: Where?
Woody: (grins) You want to know then we’re all
going to be working together on this.
(unhappy FBI Agents)
Sydney: First of all we ran out of organ bags
days ago. And second—do I look like some kind of grocery
boy to you?
Bug: I like to individually bag each organ then
put them all in a bigger bag.
Sydney: Key word being you like to.
Bug: It’s the most efficient way.
Sydney: But it’s not eco-friendly.
Bug: Just do it.
Bug: Well good. Let brother Theresa here handle
it.
Sydney: And you quit stand up for this?
Woody: Samantha Ray. She got the drop on me.
Jordan: You didn’t get beat up by a girl again
did you?
Jordan: Did Twiddle Dumb and Dumber see you? I’m
sorry…the FBI.
Sydney: Ahh…again ma’am. We offer our deepest
sympa…
Wife: Yeah, yeah. Me too.
Lily: (shouting) You are both very smart, very
grown men acting like preschoolers and that’s why this
happened!
Lily: Woody’s asking for you. He’s waiting in the
lobby.
Nigel: He’s waiting?
Jordan: Since when does he not just barge right
in?
Lily: Since he’s got two Feds with him?
Garret: That was a stupid thing you did tonight
Jordan.
Woody: Putting yourself out there for a perfect
stranger.
Garret: Going back to the scene of the crime
unprotected.
Jordan: And this surprises you how?
Woody: You were lucky. It could have ended up a
whole different way.
Garret: And believe it or not there are still a
few of us around here who’d missed you if it hadn’t.
Jordan: Wow. Backhanded as that was I’ll just
take it as a compliment.
