08x19 - A Clockwork Florida Orange

[bunniefuu]

Now, who let an angel in my store?

Hi, Murphy.

Hey, air freshener.

I thought you said you
didn't carry coconut.

I do now.

Get me next time. Oh, thank you.

Have a good one.

You, too.

What the hell...?

What the hell are you doing?!

Get out of my store!

W-W-Wait.

I'll open the register.

You can have everything.

Many thanks, my brothers.

And now, I fear, it is time

for a most important decision.

We did this for you, brother.

That's the spirit.

You know him, cassy?

It's Jerry Murphy, neighborhood grocer.

I was just here last night.

Sorry, cassy.

What do we got, Morton?

Well, he d*ed of severe head trauma

but he was banged up all over.

Looks like three different weapons used

by more than one perp.

What kind of weapons?

Difficult to say right now

but one of them was
definitely a heavy chain.

I've got to run some
more lab tests before I'll be

able to identify the other marks.

Time of death?

Between : and : P.M.

I was just here before : .

He was alive then. Okay.

We'll move that closer to : then.

Now, the front door was
locked from the inside

so they must have gone out the back.

There's no prints on anything yet

but we did find this lying
outside the back door.

That's nitrous oxide.

Right. The cartridges
are called "whippets."

They're sold in hardware
stores, restaurant supply.

What are they used for?

Kids, uh, buy them.

They use them to get high.

Normally, they're used

as a propellant to spray whipped cream

and mechanics use them for some things

but they're also a very
popular street drug.

It's laughing gas.

You can, you can get them anywhere.

It's pretty accessible.

Can anyone buy them? Sure. They're

totally unregulated.

You got some kids

that are really, really
hooked on this stuff.

It can cause nerve degeneration

with excessive use.

We're talking loss of motor control

loss of feeling, slurred speech.

It's just... it's ugly.

Inhalants make people more violent

than other dr*gs, don't they?

Usually that, too, yeah.

It wasn't a robbery.

Cash register's full.

This guy wasn't too friendly, huh?

He could be. This was found

scattered over the body.

It looks like

it might have come off that register.

Can I hang on to these?

Sure, just, um...

Just don't lose them, okay?

Let's have a look at the tape.

No usable prints on the whippet.

Well, hopefully

our luck is about to change right now.

Okay. There I am.

Wait. What was that?

Looks like a hat.

A derby.

I saw a guy outside the
store wearing that hat.

I just didn't see their face.

Let me see that whippet.

It's a generic price sticker.

It's probably from a small hardware store.

Try one near the high school.

Why?

Well, the store was only three blocks

from Bryan high.

Now, I'm guessing somebody didn't like

Mr. Murphy's store policies.

Harry: We got the plans.

The guy across the street from me

builds skyscrapers...

Knocked these off in minutes.

What?

God...

No, no, no, no, I-I got the plans.

I stayed up all night
drawing these plans up.

This man is a professional.

Come on. We want the best for the kids.

Yeah, but who says that my
plans are not going to be the best?

Okay, okay. What plans?

Frannie's on the board of
directors at the orphanage

and we are building the kids a coordination

improvement center.

What? A sandbox.

Okay, so you need blueprints for a sandbox?

Yeah. Yeah.

Well... why? All you need are some boards

and a couple of buckets
of sand, some nails.

What's the problem?

Excuse me. Amateur talking.

Have you ever built a sandbox?

No.

Bye-bye. Not speaking

our language.

Now, I'm thinking that,
in order to join the boards

we need biscuits

so we're going to have
to have a biscuit cutter.

One biscuit cutter?

How many did you...? Look at my plans.

No. I'm thinking that we
got to recess the lag bolts.

Forstner bits.

Absolutely.

You better make them an inch.

An inch? We're going to need

a burlington half-inch for that.

Tom, it's for the kids.

I found four hardware stores in the area.

Good. We're going to need them.

They don't sell nitrous for that price

but there is a restaurant supply.

Okay. You know, I think I should be

the foreman on this.

You're a day player.

Hello.

Hey.

A local store owner named Jerry Murphy

was k*lled last night.

Do you know him?

Uh, no, I... I don't think so.

Come on in.

A cartridge of nitrous oxide was found

at the scene of the crime.

Did this come from your store?

Well, it might have; I
don't sell them anymore.

Why not?

Well, the kids would come in here

and steal them right off the counter.

I tried keeping the
box next to the register

to discourage them?

It didn't make any difference.

Next thing I know, the
whole box would be gone.

Do you remember any kids in particular?

No, no.

Usually they'd wait till I was
in the back stocking shelves.

Okay. Thank you for your help.

You're welcome.

Have a good day.

Man: It's a shame.

A crime like that hits you hard

when it happens in your own neighborhood.

We found a cartridge of
nitrous oxide at the scene.

Have you had a problem
with nitrous here at the school?

Well, I know that it goes on.

I haven't seen it on campus.

So no students specifically.

Not that I'm aware.

Have there been any assaults?

Well, the occasional cafeteria fight

usually just kids scrapping.

There was one student

who ran across a group
of kids breaking into his car.

The kids took off.

Nothing came of it

and the band room was
trashed pretty badly a while back.

Do you have reports on those?

Sure.

Thanks.

It was about a month ago.

I'd stayed late to do
a little weightlifting.

About what time was that?

Probably about : .

I found three guys wearing masks

breaking into my car.

Masks?

Yeah, white

almost like clown masks

and hats.

What kind of hats?

Kind of round on top

you know, with a brim.

What, like a bowler hat?

Yeah.

So, did you confront these guys?

One of them came at me with a cane

and brought it down on my arm

and broke it pretty bad.

They all ran when another
car came into the lot.

Do you have any idea why they'd do this?

I got a new blaupunkt; Could've just been

after the radio.

They get it?

Hell, no.

Well, thanks.

Yeah.

What position did you play?

Uh, I was the quarterback

but transferred over here from cedar high

hoping to play well but...

Tough break, huh?

Yeah.

Maybe next year.

Next year.

I-I came in, and the place was trashed.

It was such a waste.

You didn't see anybody?

No.

You always there first
thing in the morning?

I'm the band monitor

so I-I come in early and set up.

We play at night.

Yeah. I know.

Believe me, I hear you guys.

Oh, yeah. You live around here, right?

Yeah, how'd you know? I see your Porsche

around the neighborhood.

Well, here's my card.

If you think of anything else

you can give me a call.

Okay.

Thanks.

What were those cops asking about?

Oh, rest your weary head, Chris.

I'm worried.

Well, you wouldn't be if
you were a little more careful

about where you drop your things.

You made a mistake!

It isn't healthy to make mistakes

is it?!

Oh, oh, you poor thing.

You're not doing too
much of this stuff, are you?

The store doesn't carry them anymore.

Oh. Well, it's a good thing

I'm all stocked up.

I was going to save them for later but...

Thanks.

My pleasure.

There'll be more mischief tonight, brother.

Not tonight.

I can't do it tonight.

Of course, you can.

You had your moment
yesterday; We were all there.

That's the bargain.

Everyone has their moment in the sun.

You will participate

in our gruesome detail this evening

willing or unwilling.

Chris!

My time has not yet come, but it will soon.

I can feel it.

See you tonight, brother.

Cassy: Two acts of vandalism

at the school...

The band room was trashed

a group of kids broke into a car...

But there's no apparent motive.

Yeah, well

kids on dr*gs don't always need motives.

Well, the quarterback I talked to said

that the kids

were wearing bowlers

or derbies or something

and they had masks on.

That's what I saw... a guy in a derby hat.

Did you get the report back from Murphy?

Yeah.

Mr. Murphy only prosecuted
one student for shoplifting...

Uh, Christopher kealy.

Cassy: Kealy's

restaurant supply.

It's time to talk to papa bear again.

So, if this side is eight feet long

and this side is ten

who can tell me how long the third side is?

Kimberly.

Um...

I don't know.

Bring your book and come to the front

of the class.

Face the class.

Do you have your homework?

Now, we wouldn't want
poor little Kimberly to do

anymore work than she possibly has to

so let's see if we can bestow

the gift of geometric knowledge upon her

through simple osmosis.

Maybe some of it'll sink in.

Spit out your gum.

I've told you a hundred times.

Students, I want you to look

at probably the most perfect example

of mediocrity you will ever see.

You can go back to your seat now, Kimberly

and I'll see you in detention.

So you'd never heard of Jerry Murphy?

That's your name on the report.

He had your son arrested.

I-I didn't remember his name.

You lied because you didn't
want to involve your son.

Where's Chris, Mr. Kealy?

Chris?

Here. Let me help you.

You okay there?

I'm fine.

Chris, uh, these are detectives.

They'd like to ask you a few questions.

Sure.

Chris, did you ever
work the register alone?

Yeah, sometimes.

Did you see any kids buy or steal these?

No.

Chris, you were arrested

for shoplifting, right?

Yeah, that was a few months ago.

Look, look

my son paid his debt.

He did hours of community service

picking up garbage in the neighborhood.

I was proud of him.

He learned from his mistake.

Did you ever try to go back to

Mr. Murphy's store?

No.

Look, Murphy hated every
kid in the neighborhood.

He was a vindictive old man.

He put up signs, picked on every kid.

So what are you saying?

The neighborhood's better without him?

No, I didn't say that;
All I'm saying is that...

Is that how you feel?

He called the cops on you

put your picture in the local paper.

No. I don't. He just...

He didn't have to go to the cop

the paper.

Look, Chris... Chris has
been straight a long time.

He made a mistake.

Some people are mistake-prone,

Mr. Kealy.

I don't know if it's fair

to stop in here every time there's mishap.

I would say m*rder is
hardly a mishap, Mr. Kealy.

You're right.

Fair enough.

And, listen, I hope you
find the person who did this

but, if you're just in here taking

a sh*t in the dark

then I'd like you to leave my store.

All right.

Cassy, that kid couldn't have lifted

a box of table napkins in there.

His speech was slurred.

I know.

He's a poster boy

for the symptoms that Morton described.

We got one.

Don't hurt me.

I'm performing for you, miss cooksey.

Have you forgotten your manners entirely?!

You, miss cook, are

the absolute picture

of mediocrity.

They wiped it down pretty well...

Everything, even the handles.

Multiple wounds to the
body, different weapons.

It's the same as the Murphy k*lling.

Headlights are on.

Did you get a print off the switch?

Are they?

No.

Well, I just wonder how
thorough our perps were.

See if you can get a print off

of that, will you?

Will do.

Man...

Okay, miss cook's detentions list.

She had a few favorites.

Why don't you take two and three?

I'll talk to number one.

Biology test, huh?

Uh, yep... the respiratory system...

Lungs and whatever.

You and miss cook didn't get along so well

did you, Kimberly?

Oh, not so much.

I-I mean, we got along okay, I guess.

Is that why she sent you

to detention times this year?

We didn't get along, no.

And you had a problem
just yesterday, right?

Yeah. She totally blew up at me.

I don't know why.

Where were you last night around : ?

My parents picked me up
from cheerleading at :

and I was at home
for the rest of the night.

I can't go out or do anything

until I get my grades up.

I didn't even leave the house

until, like, : this morning.

I swear.

It's okay.

I'm not accusing you of anything.

Kimberly?

Do you have a boyfriend?

No.

Um, I was seeing this guy, Elliot

but his family, like, moved to Ohio

over the summer, so we're over.

Whatever.

I'm going to give you my card, and,

if you can think

of anything else you want to share

you give me a call, okay?

I will.

She knows something.

So you don't think that
she's involved, huh?

No, she doesn't strike me as a k*ller.

Hey.

Yeah?

Listen to this.

Well, that's beautiful.

We pulled a thumbprint from off that

headlight switch

compared it to Chris kealy's prints

from his shoplifting arrest but no match.

Just because he wasn't in the car

doesn't mean he wasn't there.

You're right. If you got
some more prints for me...

Is that the burlington half-inch?

The very one.

Oh, may I? Please?

Yeah.

I promise.

Gently, gently.

There's good weight there.

Ooh, nice distribution.

You lucky man.

This puppy's got some serious torque.

Yes, he's very proud.

Harry: I ordered the lumber.

Be here Saturday.

Re-bar?

Also Saturday, along with the pour.

Morton: Hey

you guys putting in a grade beam?

Yeah.

Oh, smart, smart.

Continuous footing's the best way

to disperse the load.

Oh... so you guys are
putting a foundation in

for the sandbox.

How else are we going to support the load?

You need some help with electrical work?

I mean, I'm pretty good at that.

You know, as a matter of fact, we do.

Come on, first you...

Give me a hand with this genny, all right?

Come on. Um, Tom, does this thing have

a spark-arresting muffler on it?

Hey, um, har...

Yeah. Why did I ask, huh?

That's why we went with
the five horsepower, huh?

What are you standing?

It's sort of heavy.

When you're captain,
you'll get a schlepper.

So, Chris has a motive
to k*ll the store clerk.

I wouldn't want to pick up
trash in an orange jumpsuit

in front of my friends for two months.

Kimberly's got motive for miss cook.

Her parents confirmed
she was home all night.

What about the band
room and the quarterback?

Chad catches some
guys breaking into his car

they go straight for his throwing arm.

That doesn't sound like a robbery.

No, but he's good, cassy;
I talked to the coach.

He's got scholarship opportunities

all over the place... Florida
state, Miami, Georgia.

So why'd he transfer from cedar high?

Well, 'cause the coach transferred over

from cedar to coach at Bryan.

He runs this pass-oriented offense

so Chad had the job if he wanted it

but he got in this accident.

I think we should get to
know these kids a little better.

It's going pretty good.

We're two-and-one.

You getting a chance to play quarterback?

I'm the starter again.

Huh. Wasn't Chad Brooks
supposed to be the starter?

I mean, until his injury?

Chad's a good player.

When he came over from cedar

I was excited for the competition.

Then he got hurt.

He was really going to help our team.

Huh. That's big of you.

Yeah, when I went to state

I roomed with the quarterback.

They signed this blue chip freshman phenom

to take his place.

He wasn't too happy.

Neither was I.

So you played against him last year?

Yep.

How'd that go?

Chad played a great game.

How'd you play? The jaguars always

have a really tough defense.

My dad.

He comes to every practice?

My biggest fan.

He had me work for the district lawn crew

last summer, cutting grass.

That way I'd still get to
be on this field each week.

Got me seeing a tutor to keep my grades up.

Well, thanks.

Anytime.

Hey.

All right, so you do
fingerprint all your employees.

Great. I'd like you to get me the prints

for Jimmy, or a James Purvis.

He worked on the grounds crew last summer.

Right. Thank you.

Pardon me.

Oh!

Man, I'm sorry. Excuse me.

Are you all right? Yeah.

You didn't get hurt?

Sorry.

Um, here.

The march to Moscow"?

"Truman and the a-b*mb."

You do like history.

Yeah, I-I find it interesting.

You know Chris, huh?

Mm-hmm. I-I tutor him sometimes.

Is that what the two of
you were talking about?

Some students need a
little more help than others.

History's your specialty.

There's a great deal to be learned

from the mistakes of others.

Oh.

Oh, "the prince."

Machiavelli. Wow.

You do give some interesting tutoring.

I try to keep it lively.

Anyway, I got to go.

I got a class.

It was good to see you again.

Take care.

Excuse me.

I need to get my biology book.

The school's closed.

Please. My parents are going to k*ll me.

Okay.

Thank you so much.

I'll be quick.

Don't be afraid, darling.

It's a pity about old,
mean miss cook, isn't it?

Someone must think an awful lot about you

to go through such trouble.

What the hell are you talking about?

Your fingerprints and your
purple trademark sharpie.

Dear, I'd like to collect on my "anything."

Cassy: How long has

the tutoring lasted?

Uh-huh. Okay.

Thanks for your cooperation, Mr. Worthy.

Bye.

I thought I was on to something.

Yeah, what's up?

Jimmy Purvis took over for Chad

as starting quarterback.

I got his prints from his summer job

but the prints that I got off of cook's car

were not Jimmy's.

No, you are on to something.

Chris kealy and Jimmy Purvis
were tutored by the same kid

lyn moncrief.

The band kid?

Yeah, and it seems

that he was turned down for drum major

not long before the band room was trashed.

So, what's the best way

to avoid being suspected of a crime?

You... report it.

Yeah.

You should have seen the books

this kid checked out of the library.

Now, since when were
machiavelli and Klaus Barbie

on the required reading list?

Did you check the rap sheet? He's clean.

How do we get his prints?

Ask?

Woman: Sorry about the mess.

I'm preparing opening
arguments for a case in boca raton

and my husband's trying a
case in Miami, so the house tends

to fall apart a bit when we're working.

Now, forgive me, uh

but I can't imagine what this is all about.

Tom: Well, as you know,

a teacher was k*lled

at your son's school. Yes, yes, it

was horrible.

As a matter of fact

I remember meeting her
at, um... parent's night.

Hello, darling.

Lyn, why don't you, uh...

Show the detectives your trophies?

This is impressive.

Honor roll, red ribbon, debating team...

Oh, that-that should have been blue.

I don't even know why it's up.

It's my mother.

Oh...

Pearl harbor.

You do like history.

Oh, tojo... he was the head

of the Japanese armed
forces during world w*r ii.

Yeah, well, most people
think that emperor hirohito

was responsible for their early successes

but he was just a figurehead.

General tojo was...

The mastermind.

Pearl harbor was his defining moment.

Defining him as what?

As a brilliant strategist, a
great leader... whatever.

The point is he had his
moment, and he stood the test.

Tom: With your permission, we'd like

to take lyn's fingerprints.

No.

No, I don't think I'll
give you that permission.

Well, we realize you'd
like to clear his name

as soon as possible.

Firstly, you never formally asked me

if you could speak with my
son, which you're required

to do by law

but, still, I didn't mind.

Ask lyn anything you like.

But now you're asking me

if you can fingerprint him
like a common criminal.

You better be careful, sergeant.

You're already over the line.

What was "Truman's defining moment"?

Clearly, the atom b*mb.

The plane is flying over Hiroshima

and he has to make a decision

and the b*mb explodes
, feet above the city.

People's shadows are
b*rned into the cement.

Truman made his Mark.

He ushered in the nuclear age

and the world will never be the same.

You think that's all Truman had
in mind when he gave the order?

Yeah. I mean, Japan had
been ready to give up for months.

He was just sending a message.

That b*mb was a declaration
of worldwide supremacy.

By causing the death of
hundreds of thousands.

Yeah, well, death does have a way

of getting people's attention.

You should know.

Sorry, I'm not following you.

You have a fascination with death.

That's why you're a homicide detective.

Fascination?

You've k*lled people before, right?

You've pulled the trigger...

Watched them die.

Oh, so, that's what all this is about...

'cause you're fascinated with death?

Yeah... just like you and your partner.

I mean, that's why you're here

isn't it?

Whoever did this...

Got your attention.

People don't usually want our attention.

They're usually afraid of it.

Yeah, I suppose some people would be.

They allow fear to define them

but great leaders learn

from the lessons of history

just like general tojo and the emperor.

Power doesn't always rest
with whom you think it does.

General tojo was tried
and convicted of w*r crimes

and ex*cuted.

Well, that just goes to show
it doesn't pay to be a loser.

Tom: I can get a court order.

Yes, of course you can...

And, of course, I will appeal it.

Then the judge will issue a stay

and my husband and I

will make sure your request stays tied up

in court for months.

This is clearly harassment.

If you had any actual
evidence against my son

you wouldn't be here asking permission.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for the tour.

That was enlightening.

I'll see you soon.

I look forward to it.

Sergeant.

He's crazy. I'm telling
you this kid's crazy.

And if the mother's
determined to drag this out

the court order could take months.

And in the meantime,
somebody else gets k*lled.

What was this about "defining moments"?

They were all horribly violent.

His face practically glowed.

Violent, like the att*cks on Murphy

and the school teacher.

What if Murphy's death was
Chris kealy's defining moment?

Yeah, and the att*ck on Chad was Jimmy's.

Chad took his place as quarterback.

Cassy: Murphy got

Chris arrested

humiliated him in front of his friends.

So, what was lyn's defining
moment? Miss cook?

No, I don't think so.

His grades were perfect in her class.

He was doing a favor for a friend?

Yeah... Kimberly.

Okay.

We got to nail this kid down, now.

Yeah, well he's sharp, Harry.

He wasn't reading machiavelli for nothing.

All right, Chris and Jimmy have already

att*cked their arch rivals.

I have a feeling lyn is
going to do the same.

You think?

He's already thrown down the gauntlet.

I say we sit back and wait.

My brothers, I've decided
that tonight we shall ride again.

We can't.

They've already talked to all three of us.

I want out.

I think you forget.

There is no "out."

Jimmy had his moment.

You had your moment.

And I'll have my moment.

I would hate to see a photo of Chrissy's

pearly whites on our beloved wheel!

We began these actions together!

We will conclude them...

Together!

We have a winner.

Show the lovely lady
detective what she's won.

Hello.

This is Kimberly mcclure.

Yes, Kimberly.

Um, I have something to tell you.

Are you okay?

Can you meet me at
ocean street in a half an hour?

Okay.

Well done, missy, absolutely splendid...

Simple and direct.

Ocean street is in the warehouse district.

Tom, this... this is it.

Okay, Harry's on standby.

I'll swing by and pick him up.

Okay, I'll meet you there.

No, no, no... ocean, I told you.

She wouldn't get the number wrong.

Turn around, now.

St. John.

Cass, it's Tom.

Oh, hey, the, uh...

Go back inside your car;
You may be in danger.

No, Tom, I'm fine.

Do it, cass.

Okay. All right.

Lyn: ♪ I don't want to

play in your yard ♪

Hold her for our young c.K. Here.

There now, brother.

I'd be honored if you'd
take the first swing

at our young lady friend.

No! Please, please.

Don't. You don't want to do this.

I do hope

this is just some dramatic pause.

She's a cop.

You had your time.

Now I'll have mine.

Please.

I can't.

I can't.

He's next.

But first...

I agree wholeheartedly, brother.

Tom: Drop it!

Drop it.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

So what do you think, cass?

I think it's impressive.

It's very impressive.

Yeah.

Yeah, we built that baby to last.

We sure did, huh?

I just have one question.

What's that?

How are they going to get inside of it?

What's that?

How are they going to get in?

We can build them

an elevator.

Yeah...

Or a ramp, like they had at masada.

No, no, like a crane,
with a lifting platform.

Yeah. You know, we
could order a biscuit cutter.

Put some railings on it.

If we get a ladder that...
