Body of Proof

Please, man. Don't do this.

Somebody help me!

No. No, man.

Don't do this, dude.

Dr. Hunt.

Whose D.N.A. did you find

on the piece of the murder weapon

in Jason's skull?

Steve Owen's.

Steve Owen... the victim's business partner

and the accused?

Yes.

Dr. Hunt, what is the chance

this D.N.A. profile is mistaken,

that Steve Owen did not hold this bat?

Given the number of matching repeated base pairs,

I would say...

1 in 1 billion.

Thank you, doctor. That's all.

Detective Sullivan, who made the 9-1-1 call

reporting that Jason banning had been murdered?

Steve Owen.

And when you arrived on scene,

how would you describe Mr. Owen's demeanor?

Uh, he was crouched in front of the victim,

he was sobbing.

He seemed devastated.

At that moment,

what was your gut feeling

as to whether Steve Owen was guilty of this murder?

Objection. Pure speculation.

Overruled. The witness will answer.

Your gut feeling, detective?

Did you think my client murdered the victim?

No, I didn't.

But that was before all the forensics came in and...

And now, with the evidence in,

do you still have doubts about my client's guilt?

Yes.

I still have my doubts.

You look vexed.

"Vexed"? Did you just say "vexed"?

Okay, admit it.

You're just angry because I'm not as sure as you are

that Steve Owen is guilty.

He buried a baseball bat in a man's skull.

His D.N.A. was inside the victim's brain.

What do you think I'm missing here?

Let's talk about it over drinks.

Yeah, I know what a few drinks

with Tommy Sullivan leads to.

Me, too.

And I have Lacey.

Have your mom take her.

This is not about discussing the case.

This is about trying to get me into bed.

That is a big assumption.

Oh, really?

You're telling me that if I said "yes" right now,

"okay, let's go to a hotel," you would say no?

That's not a fair question because I'm a guy.

Mm-hmm.

You're just scared to talk about it

'cause you might be wrong.

Come on. Admit it.

Admit Steve Owens is guilty.

The forensics are black and white.

You hide behind forensics.

I don't even know what that means.

It means it's easier for you to deal

with cold, hard evidence

than human beings,

'cause people are complicated.

They got all these messy emotions.

Yeah, you're doing such a good job arguing my point,

I'm not gonna say anything.

Character cannot be determined by D.N.A.

You've gotta go with your instincts.

I still think that Steve Owen is not a murderer.

You know what my instincts tell me?

What?

This was all a ploy to get me out drinking with you.

Well, if you think that, why are you here?

Remember when we were in New York,

when we were in Hell's Kitchen?

We got locked out on that roof,

we're just dancing until the sun came up,

naked...

You know what I remember?

What?

Us fighting like crazy.

Oh, come on. I remember us making up like crazy...

Mind-blowing sex.

Till you slept with what's her name.

So you're not gonna let me live that down, are you?

Oh, now that's a trick question.

I am a woman, in case you forgot.

Okay, fine. Let's just check into that hotel.

Maybe we'll regret it in the morning,

maybe we won't.

Let's...

Let's try it.

Yeah, um...

I'm gonna go home.

Yeah.

- Mm. - Good night.

I'm coming.

I'm coming. Hold your horses.

All right.

Ohh.

My God. What took you so long?

Hi, mom. I forgot something for school.

Hey, sweetie.

Late to the door,

clothes on the living room floor?

Hmm. My God. You must have had a date.

It wasn't a date. It was work.

Who was he?

None of your business. Will you zip me up?

I don't feel...

good about us fighting.

This whole thing with your father

was my fault.

If I had been more open with you

about the suicide note,

you wouldn't be questioning it now.

All I want to know is the truth.

Megan Hunt.

What do you got?

I got a female victim,

mid-20s.

Cleaning lady found her an hour ago.

It's a mess inside. Clear struggle.

The attack was brutal.

You haven't heard from Tommy, have you?

No, why?

Uh, I've been trying to contact him all morning.

Can't get through.

Something tells me he had a late night.

That right?

Where's the victim?

Her name's Skylar Green.

Still canvassing the neighbors.

So far no one saw or heard anything.

Megan, you okay?

Patterned abrasions.

She was strangled.

Slight rigor. She died sometime last night.

I need to speak to you outside.

Now.

Megan.

Megan, what's going on?

You have no idea where Tommy is?

No, I told you. I've been trying to call him.

We need to find him now.

Megan, what's going on?

Tommy and I had drinks last night.

When I left the bar, he was with her... the victim...

- Skylar Green. - Are you sure?

- Positive. - That's not good.

No. Try him again.

Okay.

All the way around the side!

Oh.

Tommy.

Tommy.

Tommy.

Mm.

Mm.

What happened?

I don't remember.

Body of Proof 3x08 - Doubting Tommy Original air date April 9, 2013

So Skylar Green is dead?

You don't remember how you got here?

No.

What do you remember?

Uh...

I remember...

being in a bar with you.

You left.

And I was...

with Skylar.

And it's all just a blur.

How can this be possible?

W... was I drugged or something or what?

I'll take some blood. We'll find out.

So the victim...

did you just meet her last night?

Who, Skylar?

Well, I interviewed her for the Steve Owen case.

She was a hostess in one of his clubs

and she thought he was innocent,

wanted to help prove it.

How many times did you interview her?

I mean, just... just that once.

She kept... calling me

saying it was related to the case,

but I think she was just interested.

And?

I didn't take any of her calls.
