Rizzoli & Isles

Please.

No! No!

No! No!

No. No. No.

Nooo!

- Maura Isles, you are brilliant! - Oh, I like the sound of that.

- Oh... my... - It's great, right?

- Oh, you were so right. - About what?

Oh, don't be modest. This is all you.

I can't believe I didn't listen to you sooner.

I'm not sure what it is you think I said,

but I am fairly certain that there's been a miscommunication.

No, no, no, no, no. Come on.

All the nagging that you did about how I should...

change up my wardrobe, shake it up?

Well, I took your advice.

Well, I just meant you should expand your wardrobe a little.

Yes! And I can't stop doing this!

Okay, well, it's a bold choice.

Mm! And the jacket's just the beginning.

What do you think about overalls?

Hmm.

Mm. Still avoiding calls from our father, are we?

I do not have time to chat.

I thought you were gonna talk to him.

Yes, I thought I was, too.

- When's he leave? - Saturday.

But he wants to get together tonight, have dinner,

go over some paperwork for the family trust.

Mm. Good.

You guys can finally talk, get it all out.

What are you doing?

I'm helping. What time works for you?

That is not helping.

You can do this, Maura.

I wouldn't even know where to start.

Okay, well, how about, uh,

"You cheated on my mom and then made me lie about it,

which sucked"? That sums it up nicely.

Yeah, but what good would it really do?

I mean, so much time has passed.

Yeah, but you're still carrying it around inside.

So you could just get it out and tell him how you feel.

Wait. You're one to talk.

You don't tell anyone how you feel.

Well, I'll tell you how I feel right now.

I feel that you should do this...

...or you're gonna be avoiding him forever.

That is a statement, not a feeling.

- Doesn't make it any less true. Rizzoli. - Isles.

Do you wanna borrow my jacket?

Yeah, put it on and go like this.

Makes you feel incredible, like you could do anything.

Like shoot targets while riding a horse?

Yes, and solve crimes.

- Yes. No, that sounds terrible. - No, I'm here.

- We'll be right there. - Mm-hmm.

6x09 - "Love Taps"

So don't make it a dinner with your father.

- Do something casual. - My father and I don't do casual.

Well, maybe you should start.

You know, just meet, talk. Baby steps.

- Nice jacket. - Mm, it was all Maura's idea.

I never mentioned fringe.

- Victim's at the bottom of the hill. - Thank you, sergeant.

You messing with her?

Yeah.

I'm making a point, but it's always so

much more fun to amuse myself while I do it.

- What do we got? - Well, hikers found him this morning.

Appears to have fallen from up top.

- Ow. - Yeah.

He was hard to see. The body was behind those rocks.

The victim was a student over at state.

Stuart Crane.

Only thing he had on him was his student I.D. and keys.

No cash, no credit cards. No cell phone.

- Robbery? - Possible.

C.S.R.U.'s up top. They haven't found much.

Prescott Trail is real popular. There's footprints everywhere.

- Any witnesses? - Not so far.

Part of the cliff's broken away.

You can see where he tried to get himself up.

Must've lost his grip. Crime techs found these.

Maura, anything interesting?

There are signs of rigor mortis on the jaw and hands.

I'd estimate the time of death to be about...

- three to four hours ago. - Around sunrise.

Abrasions and bruising are consisnt with a fall.

Might've slipped. Still pretty dark around dawn.

Except there are two wounds in the back of the skull

that resulted in a severely depressed fracture.

They appear too similar... to be from a random fall.

You think somebody hit him with something?

I can't be certain yet. The wounds have abraded margins,

which could've been caused by something dense

Or blows that were delivered with tremendous pressure.

Frankie, have C.S.R.U. pay close attention to the rocks up top.

Blood trace would be easy to miss.

Guess I'll be getting my cardio for the week.

There's unusual trauma to the fingers and hands.

Unusual how?

Well, the bones in the fingertips appear to be broken.

Broken fingers and a cracked skull?

Doesn't sound much like a robbery.

Sounds like he pissed somebody off.

- Like, dead dead? - I'm afraid so.

- You two close? - I barely know the guy.

You were roommates.

Well, no offense, but dude's super boring.

Yeah, he's like an English major or somethin'.

Any idea why he was up at Prescott Trail early this morning?

Well, he usually takes off before the sun's up.

Did he have any problems with anyone?

- Like you know, arguments or fights? - Not that I ever heard about.

Do you mind telling me how you got that shiner?

Oh, I bodychecked a forward at hockey practice this mornin'.

It's nice, huh?

- Wallet's here ... debit card, cash. - So it probably wasn't robbery.

I'm gonna get this phone to Nina, see if she can unlock it.

- It's weird that he didn't have it with him. - Most college kids,

it's like they have them permanently attached.

Have a feeling he's not like most college kids.

First edition "Don Juan." Lord Byron.

Probably worth a couple thousand dollars.

No way. Couple thousand bucks for a book?

- You know, like, just read it online, right? - Yeah. Right.

Thank you.

Go talk to some of the other kids in this dorm.

They can't all be knuckleheads.

These are spiral fractures. The twisting pattern is caused

by pressure being exerted by a moving object.

Like someone was stepping on his fingers?

That would account for the pattern. In fact, I believe it's

likely that the damage was done by a rubber-soled hiking boot.

Dr. Isles, are you actually speculating

about how this damage was inflicted?

I don't need to speculate, I have science.

Specifically... I have Gaussian filters that can

isolate those particles. I also found trace amounts

of thermoplastic polyurethane on the skin,

which is a synthetic rubber commonly found on hiking boots.

You really do love showing off your toys, don'tcha?

- I do. - I get it.

Now the cause of death is the trauma to the back of the skull.

Two blows from the same dense object from different angles.

The second blow was delivered from a much higher vantage point.

So unless our killer had a sudden growth spurt,

Stuart fell, and then the killer hit him again.

That would correlate to my findings.

Ok. Thanks, Maura.

26. 27. No, 28.

- What's up? - Oh, you're not gonna believe this.

- 29. 30. - No way.

- What's going on? - Nina unlocks Stuart's phone, and it's weird ...

there's no email, no calendar programs, no apps,

- but there's a lot of texts. - 31.

- Now that's just greedy. - 31 what?!

- Women. - What?

Not just women, girlfriends.

- 32. - Stuart Crane had 32 girlfriends?

Stuart wasn't just reading "Don Juan."

The guy was Don Juan.

It's hard to believe he had so many girlfriends.

Stuart doesn't seem like the type.

Some of these texts are sweet:

"Before I met you, I never knew what it was like

to think of someone and smile for absolutely no reason."

- Aww. - Seriously?

- Sounds like a cheesy greeting card. - I'd buy that card.

I would, too. Anything else interesting?

So far, the conversations are what you'd expect.

"How was your day? I miss you."

This woman is really into kittens.

- He tells her all the time how much he loves them. - Mnh-mnh.

So basically, he just tells them what they wanna hear.

Anybody talk to him about meeting this morning?

Not that I found yet. As far as I can tell, he

never met up with any of the women he was dating.

And none of them seem to be from the college.

- Maybe he met them online. - Maybe, but I didn't find

anything like that on his computer.

He only used this cell for chatting with his girlfriends,

nothing with friends or family,

which makes me think he has a second phone.

C.S.R.U. didn't find one at the crime scene.

Can you check with other service providers

- and see if you can find something? - Mhm.

Frankie, can you go back to the dorm room,

see if you can find the phone?

- Yeah. - Stuart Crane's mother lives in Ohio.

He has a sister over in Hartford. She's driving in now.

Hey, look at this.

"Contact my wife again, and you're a dead man."

There's a whole series of these.

- Who's Donovan? - That's Stuart's middle name.

He used it with all his girlfriends.

"You home-wrecking asshole. I'll cut off your ..."

- Ooh! - That's some colorful language.

Definitely not medically advisable.
