Rizzoli & Isles

MOM?

MOM! SOMEBODY! HELP HER!

MOM!

ALL RIGHT. FIGHTING STANCE. NICE.

HE'S COMING AT ME. ALL RIGHT?

BOOM! RIGHT IN THE EYES.

WELL, THAT CAN DO SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE CORNEA.

THIS IS MY THOUGHT, YES.

YOU KNOW, I JUST -- I'D FEEL A LITTLE BETTER

WITH A J-- A-A JAB, JAB, HOOK,

LIKE I DO IN MY BOXING CLASS.

YES, UH, YOU KNOW,

BUT BY THE TIME YOU'VE SAID, "JAB,"

THE RAPIST HAS YOU IN THE GUESTHOUSE, OKAY?

GIVE IT ONE-TWO, LIKE, QUICK. ALL RIGHT, YOU TRY.

GOOD. GOOD. GOOD.

HAVE YOU TALKED TO YOUR FATHER?

WHY, WHEN WE'RE HITTING A DUMMY,

DO WE TALK ABOUT MY POP?

OH, WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST IN THE MIDDLE

OF SELF-DEFENSE TRAINING, SO...

UH, NO.

FRANKIE THINKS HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND.

HE'S STILL IN FLORIDA.

DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW?

NO.

HERE SHE IS. WHY DON'T WE TELL HER?

HEY, MA. YEAH, NO, I'M JUST HANGING OUT HERE WITH MAURA,

AND SHE THINKS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT DAD'S NEW BIMBO.

No! What are you doing?!

I'M JUST KIDDING. IT'S OPERATIONS.

RIZZOLI. YEAH.

ALL RIGHT. WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

HARDER.

GOOD. SELF-DEFENSE TRAINING IS OVER, OKAY?

WE GOT A MURDER.

[ HORN BLOWS, SEA GULLS SQUAWKING ]

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS, INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

MOTHER OF ONE OF THE DANCERS WAS STABBED TO DEATH.

SHE MADE IT TO THE STAGE, THEN COLLAPSED.

IN FRONT OF ALL THESE KIDS?

NOBODY SAW IT HAPPEN?

NOPE.

HAVE YOU FOUND THE CRIME SCENE?

JUST FOLLOWING THE BLOOD.

I'D LIKE TO SEE THE BODY.

ARE YOU GONNA GET THAT?

IT'S NOT IMPORTANT.

I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A COMPETITIVE DANCER,

BUT MY MOTHER WAS A PURIST.

SHE ONLY LET ME STUDY RUSSIAN BALLET.

IT'S LIKE LITTLE LEAGUE WITH SEQUINS.

AHH. HOW LONG YOU GOT TO WORK OUT

TO GET BICEPS LIKE THAT ON A 10-YEAR-OLD?

30 TO 40.

HOURS?!

AND I THOUGHT I WAS DOING GOOD JOB WORKING OUT TWO DAYS A WEEK.

THAT IS A VERY SHARP PAIR OF SCISSORS.

PENETRATING STAB WOUND

BETWEEN THE THIRD AND FOURTH INTERCOSTAL.

DEFENSIVE WOUNDS ON HER HANDS.

"SAPPHIRE DANCE STUDIO."

EVERYONE IN THE STUDIO HAS TOUCHED THOSE SCISSORS.

SAYS "CRIME OF OPPORTUNITY" TO ME.

LET'S FOLLOW THIS BLOOD TRAIL.

DID WE HAVE A HURRICANE THIS MORNING?

YOU THINK THIS IS BAD,

TRY SHARING A BATHROOM WITH TWO BROTHERS.

NEEDED A HAZMAT SUIT TO WALK IN THERE.

O-KAY. THIS IS EMBARRASSING.

IT'S JUST A BRA, KORSAK.

PROBABLY MORE EMBARRASSING TO THE 12-YEAR-OLD WHO LEFT IT THERE.

OKAY, WE GOT A KILLER

WHO ENTERED AND EXITED A DANCE COMPETITION.

WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS, W-WHY HERE, WHY NOW?

12 DANCERS AND THEIR MOTHERS USED THIS ROOM.

I GOT ALL THE NAMES.

WHO KEEPS CALLING? MELODY.

SHE WANTS ME TO CO-SIGN A LEASE

TO OPEN HER DREAM YOGA STUDIO.

WHAT, YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT?

I DON'T WANT TO BE MELODY'S BANK.

YOU SEEN JOSH YET?

MELODY DID A NUMBER ON HIM.

HE THINKS I DESERTED HIM.

I'M SO SORRY, BUD.

SO YOU WEREN'T HERE WHEN YOUR WIFE WAS, UM...

I, UH, HAD A MEETING IN REVERE.

I'M A GENERAL CONTRACTOR.

THERE YOU GO.

DENISE ALWAYS TEXTS ME

IN TIME TO SEE DAKOTA DANCE.

BUT SHE, UH...

SHE DIDN'T THIS TIME.

CAN I, UH... CAN I TAKE MY DAUGHTER HOME NOW?

YEAH. YEAH. WE'LL NEED TO TALK TO YOU AGAIN.

ALL RIGHT. COME ON, HON.

GIRL'S NAME IS DAKOTA.

SHE SAID HER MOTHER DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING BEFORE SHE DIED.

NO ONE SAW THE HUSBAND BEFORE OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE MURDER.

SAID HE HAD A MEETING IN REVERE.

CHECK IT. CHECK THE GPS ON HIS PHONE, TOO.

MAKE SURE HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH.

THIS IS THE HEAD OF THE SAPPHIRE DANCE STUDIO. COACH JJ?

YEAH. DETECTIVE RIZZOLI, SERGEANT DETECTIVE KORSAK.

HEY, UM, HOW MUCH LONGER DO YOU THINK THIS IS GONNA TAKE?

I'VE GOT A BUNCH OF REALLY UPSET MOMS AND KIDS.

WELL, HOW WELL DID YOU KNOW DENISE RYAN?

SAW HER ALMOST EVERY DAY FOR THREE YEARS,

BUT ACTUALLY I FELT LIKE I DIDN'T KNOW HER AT ALL.

SHE WAS JUST --

SHE WASN'T LIKE THE OTHER DANCE MOMS.

IN WHAT WAY?

THESE LADIES DRIVE TWO HOURS

TO GET TO MY STUDIO SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK,

'CAUSE THEY ALL THINK THAT THEIR KID IS GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN NATIONALS.

ONLY DAKOTA IS GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN.

SHE COULD WIN IT ALL.

BUT DENISE WOULD ONLY LET HER COMPETE LOCALLY.

SHE GIVE YOU A REASON?

YEAH, SHE SAID THEY HAD MONEY PROBLEMS.

MAYBE THE DAD DIDN'T WANT HER COMPETING?

NO, SKIP WAS GREAT.

HE'D HAUL OUR PROPS AROUND IN HIS TRUCK. HE WAS REAL FRIENDLY.

SHE WAS THE ONE WHO DIDN'T TALK TO ANYBODY.

IS THERE A VIDEO OF THE DANCE COMPETITION?

YEAH. YEAH. YEAH. UM, "RISE TO THE RHYTHM"

WILL BE HAPPY TO SELL YOU ONE IN THE LOBBY.

RIZZOLI.

YES, SIR.

IT'S COMMANDER CAVANAUGH. HE WANTS TO TALK TO YOU.

SEAN?

YOU DON'T ANSWER YOUR DAMN PHONE, VINCE?

I'm sorry. I thought it was Melody. IT WAS.

SHE WAS CALLING TO TELL YOU

THAT WE JUST PICKED UP YOUR STEPSON, JOSH.

WHAT?

OH, MY GOD.

WHAT?

THEY JUST ARRESTED JOSH FOR SHOOTING GERRY KINCAID.

HE SHOT A COP?

KORSAK RAISED JOSH FROM THE TIME HE WAS 2

UNTIL MELODY TOOK HIM AWAY WHEN HE WAS 11.

DAMN. WHY DIDN'T HE FIGHT FOR HIM?

HE DID, BUT HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY LEGAL RIGHTS.

AND, THEN, JOSH'S DEADBEAT DAD

WOULDN'T GIVE UP HIS PARENTAL RIGHTS.

HE NEVER MENTIONS HIM.

YEAH, WELL, THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT.

YOU WANT TO SEE A GROWN MAN CRY?

THE KID SHOT GERRY KINCAID, JANE.

THAT GUY'S LIKE SANTA CLAUS. I KNOW. I KNOW.

KINCAID'S IN SURGERY.

HOW'S IT LOOKING? NOT GOOD.

JOSH WAS CAUGHT COMING OUT OF A SPORTING-GOODS STORE.

KINCAID WAS WALKING A FOOT BEAT, CAME UP ON HIM,

AND JOSH SHOT HIM WITH HIS OWN GUN.

OH, MY GOD.

WELL, CAN I -- CAN I SEE HIM? CAN I SEE JOSH?

HE SAYS HE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK TO ANYBODY. I'M HIS FATHER!

LEGALLY, YOU'RE NOT, VINCE.

WELL, I'M GETTING HIM A LAWYER.

RIZZOLI, FROST. SIR.

I'M GONNA NEED YOU TWO TO KEEP FOCUSED

ON THE DEAD DANCE MOM. YOU GOT THAT?

YES, SIR.

SO, VINCE, YOU -- YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

VINCE!

WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER THE PHONE?

BECAUSE IT WAS ME CALLING?

I NEEDED YOU.

YOU DIDN'T TAKE MY CALLS FOR FIVE YEARS.

YOU TAKE HIM AWAY FROM ME.

YOU TELL HIM I DON'T CARE ABOUT HIM.

AND NOW YOU NEED ME?

BECAUSE IT'S CONVENIENT FOR YOU?

VINCE, PLEASE.

YOU KNOW, HE SHOT A COP, MELODY.

NO! IT WASN'T JOSH!

THEY CAUGHT HIM RUNNING FROM THE SCENE

WITH BLOOD ON HIS CLOTHES AND THE GUN IN HIS HAND.

THE OFFICER HE SHOT IS FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE.

I KNOW HIM. HE'S A FRIEND.

I NEED YOU TO GO HOME, PLEASE.

WILL YOU GO SEE HIM? MAKE SURE HE'S OKAY?

I TRIED.

HE WON'T TALK TO ME.

WELL, HE'S JUST SCARED. H-HE'S --

HE'S A MINOR. HE'S 16!
