Will Trent

Previously on Will Trent...

Has anyone died in here?

A hundred percent. Yeah, it's a hospital.

There's, like, a hundred ghosts in here waiting for you to kiss me.

-Great. I'm nervous now. -You're right. Let's forget it.

-Let's forget it. -Forget the whole thing.

So you make him your CI?

To go poking around, so he can get killed by Raphael's guys?

- That was not your call to make, Will.

-We need EMS. Now! -What happened?

I shot him.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

This is good news. It was a clean shoot.

I killed a 14-year-old boy today.

There's no such thing as a clean shoot.

Okay. Okay.

Oh, no, no. Oh, no, no. Come on.

Come on.

We're gonna make it.

Will, you have to be here.

So let's make it worth your while.

Has the medication been helping?

I wouldn't know. I haven't taken it.

I wanna try an exercise with you.

Great.

An emotion wheel? Really?

So you're familiar?

If you did your homework, you'd know that I grew up in the system.

Then you know that sometimes we don't have the right words

to describe how we're feeling.

Let's try "I feel" statements.

Are you feeling angry?

Will?

I also told you in our first session that I was dyslexic.

Do you pay attention? Isn't that your job?

I'm sorry, um...

but can we try?

I feel...

I feel...

like you're bad at your job.

I feel like this is a huge waste of time.

I feel like no matter what I do in here, it's not gonna bring Marco back to life.

And I feel...

I feel like we're done here.

What are you doing here? You still have 40 minutes left.

He said I'm fixed. He said he's never seen anything like it.

He's even cleared me to start driving myself to and from my sessions.

So, let's go.

No. Quan hasn't even gotten to the chamois yet. Get back in there.

Therapy is not going to fix me.

Did he give you the feel wheel?

Yes. He did.

Dr. Martin still playing the hits.

What the hell does that guy know about what we have to deal with?

He doesn't need to understand everything.

Just help you work through it and move on.

Moving on is barbaric.

All right, I did something terrible.

The least I can do is feel this way forever.

You can't live like that. What are you talking about?

You know, you wanna help me? Take me off desk duty.

Let me do my job.

No.

You're so mean to yourself, Will.

What if I was the one who accidently killed a child?

What if it was Polaski or Faith?

What would you say to them?

I think you'd support them and be there for them.

Help them remember that they're a good person who...

who just made a mistake.

I need my work, Amanda.

Hey, Quan. You got another one of these chairs?

Coming up. Anything for you, Miss Amanda.

For the next hour, you and I are gonna sit here in silence

and watch Quan buff these rims, and we'll call it therapy.

There you go.

The victim is female, Jane Doe.

Body discovered by a jogger in Little Five Points at 5:00 a.m.

on December 4th, 2019.

Found hanging upside down.

She had a laceration from her neck to her pelvis...

Little easy listening on a Monday?

Blood spatter indicates victims' vital organs were removed.

-Search for organs is still ongoing. -Eduardo, off. Off.

Um, sorry. Listening to cases that were left open.

Trying to stay industrious while on desk duty.

I've reviewed 47 cases and, uh,

I've closed two.

-Look at you. -Hmm.

Came for proof of life.

Mmm. Is there a form I need to sign?

Oh, yes, please.

And if you could just check the box that says that you are not ghosting me.

-I would never. -Cool.

So, how about we go see a movie tonight?

I can't.

That's it? You just can't?

Because you actually can. You actually totally can.

Let me make you feel better, the way that you did for me.

But is... is it not a two-way street?

It's just not the same.

Okay. I'll, um...

I'll let you get back to it then.

Irreconcilable differences. Communication issues.

Look, I have learned all I possibly can from the great Will Trent.

What are you not telling me?

Nothing.

It's time. I want a new partner.

I said no.

And I'm done talking about it.

And don't think I won't find out what's really going on, because I will.

So, what'd she say?

We're stuck together.

Wow, you folks are right on the Atlanta city line.

Oh, yeah.

I always tell Buck, "Now, don't you cross that line, mister."

That makes us chuckle.

Honey, they don't care about that right now.

I'm sorry. I'm just upset.

I've never seen a dead body before,

and now I've got two of 'em right there in our front yard.

Yeah.

You think you recognize either one of 'em?

Oh, gosh, no.

Nah, never seen 'em.

You hear any gunshots?

No, ma'am. We were just watching our programs.

-And we heard a little gentle... -Bonk.

-A gentle bonk? -That's right.

It was a hushed...

They couldn't have been going more than ten miles an hour.

And there's no license plates either.

-That's weird, right? -That is weird. Yeah.

Okay, we can take it from here. Thank you so much for your time.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, VIN's scratched off. Think it's stolen?

Could be.

Looks like the driver has a gunshot wound to her upper back.

-Yeah. -Look at all this glass.

-It's all in the bed. -And it's on their laps.

Yeah, makes me think they were hit,

and then they just kept driving till she bled out.

Could've been a while.

Well, that would explain the gentle bonk.

The hushed "hmph"?

Why didn't they stop for help?

I don't know. We'll pull traffic cam footage.

See if we can figure out where they were coming from,

where they were shot at.

Yeah. We have any idea who they are?

-No idea. -They didn't have ID?

I don't know. I haven't gone in the truck yet.

This truck? You haven't been in this truck yet?

We were told not to lay a finger on anything till you guys get here.

How do you know they're dead?

They look really dead.

I got no pulse.

Mine's still warm.

No, no, she's still alive. Get an ambulance, she's still alive!

The victim is a 52-year-old man,

found dismembered.

His limbs were located after a brief search.

Marinara sauce was found on the victim's left hand.

- The murder weapon was... -You good, homey?

-...an 11-inch bowie knife dull... -Just fine.

-...which would explain the several... -Yeah, you seem fine.

...attempts at severing various limbs.

It appears the suspect attempted to carve crude markings into flesh ...

Can I make a suggestion?

Can we turn off all this graphic, bloody, murder talk?

...on the torso, but these are attributed

-to animals in the area. -Eduardo, off.

We've been through some pretty bad stuff.

We always end up back on our feet.

It's gonna get better.

Back pain?

- No. - Great.

Well, that's about all the small talk I got.

Door's open.

Hi.

Hey, so we got a case we could use your help with.

Here's what we got, a truck with two women literally on the city limits.

One's dead, gunshot wound. The other one's in a coma.

And we are trying to figure out what caused it.

We don't know how they know each other. We don't know where they were coming from.

But the last thing we need is

Douglas County officers trying to handle this.

And so, how about you guys swoop in there and take the wheel?

Or you could just say that you're taking the wheel,

-and we'll work the case in peace. -Let Jesus takes the wheel.

Somebody, please. Just interrupt--

Me. Me.

He's on desk duty. I will take it.

Great. So, uh, we got finger prints off the surviving passenger.

Her name's Jade Meritson.

She's a former kindergarten teacher from Blue Ridge.

And the driver's name was Aster Danforth.

We actually ID'd her from her knee replacement plate.

We can't find any connection between these women.

Except that they were in a pickup truck that crashed into a tree.
