The Detail

It's not bad.

Here I am. Haha!

Come here. Come here.

- Hey. - Hey.

Look, I know that you just came for your bag,

but I-I think we should talk.

OK... I'll start.

I don't like that you took the kids to your parents' house.

He came to our house.

Yes, but I did not invite him.

No, you just kissed him on our street.

He tried, I stopped him.

You can't blame me for his mistake.

It was a bad case, it... it bled out.

Right, the same one your father killed himself over,

the one that had you pouring over pictures

- of dead girls every night. - That's not fair.

- OK. - OK?

I'm gonna be late.

I just... I want you to understand my side.

- Oh, I understand. - Your job is all you have room for,

and the rest of us civilians, we're on the outside.

No. Uh...

You're supposed to come home, Stevie.

At the end of your shift, you're supposed

- to come home. - But I am home.

No, you're not. You don't care about home

unless Kyle has his car in front of it.

Is she just gonna sneak out?

Hi.

Must be the morning breath.

- What? - That's Gerry.

He was gonna be for the baby.

Look, Jac. I went back home and I tried,

but it just showed me why I left in the first place.

What do you want, Marc?

I want this. I want you.

I, uh, I gotta go.

OK, at 6:30 this morning,

a kitchen worker found a body in a dumpster

outside J and Y Foods.

The victim had suffered multiple puncture wounds

before his body was doused in gasoline and set on fire.

The wounds are thin, cylindrical. Traces of rust. Murder weapon is

unconfirmed, but Forensics' best bet is a screwdriver.

Now the wounds were in different stages

of healing, so we believe the victim was held and tortured

for a period of three days

before the body was found.

Oh, final thing: A dog collar

was found tied around the victim's neck.

Hey, Carl!

Stand-up young man took it upon himself

to share some photos online before calling it in.

OK, there's got to be some kind of Millennial joke here.

Yeah? Well, he got 30 likes and an arrest

for indignity to a dead body. So whatever the joke is,

it's on him. Press is of course

treating it like it's the start of some sort of spree.

Did we pull anything from the scene?

Dumpster was a contaminant, and whatever evidence was left

- was burnt up. - Dental records?

A meth habit got to the teeth before the perps did.

- So we got nothing. - But we have a limp.

Sorry. Did you just say "limp"?

Victim's left leg was two inches shorter than the right,

showed signs of an old surgery. It would have been distinct,

so I'm holding a press conference to get that detail

to the public. We'll set up a private line for information.

Don't you think having a press conference

isn't just gonna make it worse? We're gonna be sitting around

answering calls from whack jobs and soccer moms all day.

Wait, who's the boss? Oh right, I am!

- Yeah. Good to be on same page. - Right, absolutely. Listen,

this guy was a vulnerable member of society whose last days

were filled with torture and fear, so when we find

the kind of person who could do this to somebody, I'm gonna take

great pleasure in watching him go down for it.

Alright, let's go. Could be a long day,

long couple of days, so get rest when you can.

No, ma'am, we don't think it's related

to the clowns in the woods.

Yeah. No, they freak me out too.

How long has it been? Yeah.

Yeah, OK.

Would you be willing to come in and answer a few questions?

Yeah. George Tate lost touch

with his brother Leroy a few months ago.

Leroy's got the limp. He's got the meth habit.

- He ticks all our boxes. - Get a residence?

- Yeah, Randall and Kaufman. - Nice area too.

- Take Forensics, head over. - You two, talk to the brother

when he comes in. Body's too far gone to ID, but see

- if he knows anything, alright? - He burned through his share

of the inheritance a couple of years ago, and he started

asking me for help.

My wife wanted me to just cut him off,

but I mean, you know, what can I do? He's my brother.

When was the last time you spoke to him?

Last February. He came to my son's birthday

as if he was there to catch up.

But Julie saw right through it and... and things got...

- they got kind of ugly. - We are gonna do

everything we can to figure this out.

- Do you think it's him? - That is

what we wanted to talk through with you, George.

We would like to take a blood sample from you.

As we mentioned in the press conference,

the body was subjected to fire,

but from what you told us,

the body is a close match to Leroy.

How do you know it wasn't...?

You said fire,

- so maybe it was an accident. - It appears

as though the body had been through

- a period of abuse. - What kind of abuse?

OK, George, um,

please know that we will not hold any information

from you once we have determined

the identity of the body, but for now,

those details are not helpful.

- OK. All right. - We just want to focus

our time on tracking whoever did this.

- So, what can I do? - Tell us about his addiction.

We were skiing,

and he broke his femur.

So that's how he got his limp.

Because he was in so much pain,

they just refilled the prescription.

Did they put any hardware

in his leg? It would help us get an ID.

Three pins and a plate...

above the knee.

The left leg.

He IDed the same hardware

that they found in the coroner's report. It's Leroy.

Have you heard back from Kyle about the victim's residence?

Typical. You know: No food in the fridge, no furniture.

Is, uh... is the brother

- still in the building? - Forensics is taking

- a blood sample now. - Think it'd be up

for taking a walkthrough? He could pinpoint something off,

- something we missed. - He didn't exactly

- take it well. - He'd come.

- He really wants to help. - Good. Then, you take him over,

you build a rapport, but when you get there,

- watch how he reacts, right? - Why? You think he's involved?

Well, we can't rule that out. You know, the abuse,

the dog collar; These could be signs of a sadistic revenge.

And he did mention that Leroy wasted his inheritance.

So if he feels like he's lost half a pot of money

to an addict, you know, people have killed for less.

- OK. - Great.

Yeah?

Uhhh, I just wanted to check and see

- that we were OK. - Do you think we're OK?

- No. - Good guess.

- Fiona... - It's done, Jac.

Back to work now.

I know this is difficult

for you, George, but if you could just focus

on anything that strikes you as odd.

This place, there's...

there's nothing. If I only would have known

it had gotten this bad.

Are you, uh... are you feeling OK?

It's just allergies.

Is there a dog here?

- No. - I don't know then.

Mr. Tate,

there was a dog collar found with the body.

What do you mean with "found with"?

- At the scene. - People will go

to incredible lengths to care for an animal,

even if they can't take care of themselves.

Is it possible Leroy had a dog?

He always wanted a husky. Our parents

would never get one because of my... my allergies.

But I think a dog would have made him happy.

Do you think my brother was happy?

Hey!

I'm Jac. What are your names?

I'm Barry. That's Hugo.

You guys know the dude who lives in that house?

- Leroy? - Yeah. You know him?

Why? He got his dumb ass killed?

- I'm afraid so. - Damn!

Lopsided Leroy got caught.

You know who did it?

Uh, that's what we're trying to figure out.

- I bet it was Tanya. - Yeah, she was so done with his crap.

Tanya?

Yeah, I remember they went at it last week.

What do you mean?

Lopsided Leroy is like making a scene,

yelling about some money or something.

Yeah. She's so big that he's walking around her with a limp.

And do you remember, like,

damn if she didn't catch him. Like, one clap to the side

of the head and bam, and he's all yelling about...
