Rizzoli & Isles

Watch out!

- Take the far end of the platform. - Yeah.

I'm just saying that Kent Drake is not the name of a real person.

I've seen his file and his picture. We had a video conference interview.

Tall, dark, handsome. Suit slightly too large for his body.

Because his superhero suit is on underneath it.

He is not a superhero. He is a military school graduate.

- Superhero. - Glasgow Medical School.

- Just finished a tour in Afghanistan. - Marvel superhero.

Well, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

If you have to ask.

Anyway, he wants to move from trauma medicine to forensic pathology.

And Kent is the strongest applicant I've had for an assistant medical examiner

since I came to Boston, so...

Six-month rotation?

You'll spend the entire time trying to figure out what his superhero power is.

Or isn't.

- Wow. - Uncle Enzo was getting rid of it.

I can understand why. That is horrible.

Oh, I have seen worse. And even if it is, it was free.

Well, the true value of something isn't always determined by its price, Angela.

Which is a super polite way of saying that is horrible.

Well, you two don't have to look at it. I got it for Frankie.

Well, he doesn't have any taste.

He'll probably love it.

- Rizzoli. - Isles.

Hey, I need some help getting this to Frankie's place.

It'll have to wait till later. Sorry.

I bet it's super uncomfortable, too.

It's still free.

Right now, she's a Jane Doe.

Homeless guy found her this morning. Didn't see her get dumped.

- You want to keep her wrapped, right? - Yes.

I don't want to lose anything that might be trapped in the rug with her.

- Hey, good luck, Frankie. - Thanks, Garcia.

How does everybody know I'm trying to get the BRIC commander job?

Well, because you've had lunch with every boss at BPD.

Not every boss.

Yeah, only because nobody wants to watch McCorskey eat.

I would say he has a temporomandibular disorder.

Makes chewing difficult.

Oh.

Well, he doesn't know you said it.

If you feel so bad, why don't you take him out to lunch?

I don't feel that bad.

The dumpster was emptied two days ago.

So the body could only have been there since then.

Are any offices or apartments that are near this alley?

No, it's all warehouses and manufacturing.

Well, that probably means she came from somewhere else, then.

Judging by the size of this rug,

it might have taken two people to get her here.

Two people who didn't think

anybody would notice them dumping a body in downtown Boston.

So we can eliminate folks who stand out.

- Clowns. - Siamese twins.

McCorskey.

I'll make sure the uniforms are asking about two people looking suspicious.

- Centaurs. - Pirates.

Organ grinders.

Well, everyone would notice the monkeys.

Excuse me?

Excuse me!

Oh.

Ah, Dr. Isles.

- Yes. - No.

- Hi, I'm Kent Drake. - Nice to meet you.

- And you must be Detective Rizzoli. - Yes, hi.

Ah.

Senior Criminalist Chang, she, uh...

Well, um, she holds you in very high regard.

Anyway, Susie told me to go ahead and get started.

Now, I was concerned about losing any trace evidence.

So, I've wrapped the body so I could vacuum around here.

Watch the rug, please. Um...

Now, given the fact that she's a Jane Doe, I removed her effects and laid them out.

Hopefully we can help with identification.

In plastic wrapping. Per Jaybee.

Yeah. Well, I didn't know your policies and procedures around here,

so I just went, well, textbook.

You've been very busy.

Yeah, well, in a conflict zone, you get used to moving at a fast pace.

- I'm sorry. Do you like my shoes? - Hmm?

They're very comfortable. You should try them sometime.

No.

Nope!

The Internet Village.

I'm just gonna go there.

- Nice to meet you. - Mmm.

- Is she always like that? - Yes.

In the very best way possible.

Well, let's get started.

We only have six months to complete your training.

That's Mona. Mona Carson.

When was the last time you saw her?

When she gave her notice three weeks ago.

She was so nice.

I just can't believe that she...

- She say why she was giving her notice? - No.

She'd been pulling away from all of us for a while.

You must have some idea.

Spike.

- Is that her boyfriend? - Yeah.

When they started to get serious, she changed.

Got nervous, withdrawn.

Spike is probably not the name his parents gave him.

That's the only thing she ever called him.

But I have a picture. He was at Mona's birthday party.

- He still looks like that? - Last time I saw him.

I never liked him.

But with your friends, it's hard to say something, you know?

Mmm-hmm.

Watch your fingers. Watch your fingers. Okay.

No. That way. Okay.

- All right. - Oh, God.

I don't remember Frankie's apartment being this nice.

Yeah, it's a different apartment. He moved.

- What? - Yeah, this one is, uh, two floors higher.

I guess I didn't notice what button you pushed in the elevator.

I was so worried about trying to avoid a hernia of the entire body.

- That's not what a hernia is. - Yes, I know that.

How come I didn't know that Frankie was getting a new place?

- Uh... He was keeping it a secret? - Until when?

- Oh, what the hell? - Until now, I'm guessing.

- I've seen your chest. - Yeah, but that was always near a pool.

Ma, what are you doing here?

What are you doing not telling me that you got a new place?

I was gonna tell you. As soon as it's all fixed up.

There. It's all fixed up.

- I don't want that. - It's a nice chair.

It's awful, and I'm trying to go a different way.

- Yeah, the secret way. - Come on, Janie.

- Like you don't have any secrets? - Yes, I have secrets.

I am allowed to have secrets. You are not allowed.

I just wanted it to be totally nice when you saw it.

So, you'd know I'm not your

door-and-cinderblock-desk-using younger brother anymore.

All right, that's sweet. What about the chair?

Totally cramping my style. Will you take it downstairs?

I'm getting ready for a date.

Sure.

Oh.

Fine, fine.

- I'll do it. - I think you look great.

Oh.

You should wear pants.

Have fun tonight.

Ma, this chair is...

Free. Free covers a lot of ugly.

So it turns out our vic not only quit her job,

she closed her social media accounts, canceled her cell phone,

stopped using her credit cards.

To top it all off, when they searched her apartment,

they found a packed suitcase.

- She was about to go on the run. - Or enter a convent.

Both good options for a woman with a bad boyfriend.

Well, there are a few other things she might have considered.

I didn't find any calls to shelters or restraining orders filed with police.

Is there any evidence that Spike was actually abusive?

One neighbor said she'd never heard them fighting.

But a couple weeks ago, she complimented Spike on his hair,

he almost ripped her head off.

- So he's wound a little tight. - Clearly.

Tight enough to snap if he thought Mona was gonna leave him?

Only way to know for sure is to find him.

- Is her apartment missing a rug? - Hardwood floors. No way to know.

If it was easy, anybody could do it.

- Holiday. - Rizzoli.

Sounds like something your mom would serve for dinner.

Kids, come to the table. The Holiday Rizzoli is ready.

- You don't know many Italians, do you? - Just you guys.

Because my Ma would have said that about 80 decibels louder,

and the phrases "before I" and "don't make me" are conspicuously missing.

I went through Mona's cell phone records.

Before she stopped using it, there were a lot of calls to a Cecil Wilson.

Is that the boyfriend? Spike?

If my name were Cecil, almost anything would be preferable.

- We have an address? - Yep. I'll text it to you.

And Jane. And tell her I'll meet them there.

And while our satellite offices don't have the lab equipment that we do,

we will process on a priority basis any evidence you deem necessary.

- How long have you actually worked here? - About five years.

And did you ever practice any other type of medicine before you became an ME?

Only in my residency.

So, our refrigerated storage is down that hall.

Would you like to see it?

Do you actually enjoy this managerial side of your job?

- You ask a lot of questions. - I'm sorry.

I'm just curious. I am not prying maliciously.

Please feel free to ask me anything you like.

Well, I have worn those shoes working out.

But I'd never really thought of them as business attire.

Right, well, technically that's not a question, is it?

No, I just don't find them suitable.

- What, unlike your four-inch heels? - Three.

And I often have business meetings.

You don't have to justify your choice to me.

I have no judgment.

- Hey. - Hey.

If he's in there, he hasn't come out. If he's not there, he hasn't come home.
