CARLOS CHESTER DONNA GUARD GUARD_2 JOO_JOO MAN PIPPY PRINCE ROSEWOOD TMI VILLA WILLET WOMAN

WOMAN
But then I looked up, and I saw this man come crashing down.
WILLET
Rosewood. What are you doing here? And what the hell are you wearing?
ROSEWOOD
Offering my two cents for free.
WILLET
Oh.
ROSEWOOD
Happened to be a few blocks away, runnin' like Rocky. You know, that's how I start my day.
WILLET
Why don't you do me a favor -- why don't you run a few more blocks away from my crime scene, okay? What, are you blind? We got the coroner here.
ROSEWOOD
Chester.
CHESTER
Hey!
ROSEWOOD
My man! Hey, it's your birthday next week, right?
WILLET
Ignore him.
CHESTER
Yeah Tuesday.
ROSEWOOD
Dinner's on me. You pick the place.
WILLET
Rosie, you're encroaching on a potential murder-scene investigation, all right? I got a hooker over here who likely pushed this guy off the 15th-floor balcony. Buh-bye.
ROSEWOOD
No, no, Willet. Hold on, now. It's the weekend in Miami, okay? You're gonna have a lot of dead bodies coming in. The county M.E.'s overwhelmed. Am I right?
CHESTER
Spot-on.
WILLET
Last time piss off.
ROSEWOOD
You know what? We got to hang out sometime -- Hit the boardwalk, rollerblade, double Dutch. What do you say?
WILLET
No. Rosie, I'm not rollerblading with you, all right?
ROSEWOOD
One lap around the body, then I'll go. Come on. He can use an extra set of eyes. Am I right?
CHESTER
Yes. Please?
WILLET
All right, Chester. One lap, Rosie. That's it. Then you're gone.
ROSEWOOD
Great. Chester, lids and lips.
CHESTER
Copy that. Lids and lips.
ROSEWOOD
Mm. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yep, yep, yep. This victim suffered dehydration from vomiting. The flop sweats prior to his death is what's causing all the salt lines in his shirt. The jaundice turned his eyes the color of the rising sun. All caused by what? Anybody? No doctors in the house, huh? Tumor blocking the bile duct -- pancreatic cancer. Now, here's the theory. Check it, take it to the bank. He got diagnosed with a death sentence, all right? Got the "Rain Man" suite, top-dollar escort for one final night of fun before he called it a life. You can let the lady of the night go free. She didn't kill anybody. Oh, and, uh, Willet.
WILLET
What's up?
ROSEWOOD
Another body drops on you and you forget my office number, turn your handsome head to 3:00.
ROSEWOOD
I take all major credit cards. Tuesday.
CHESTER
Tuesday.
ROSEWOOD
All right.
ROSEWOOD
Morning, ladies.
TMI:
Rosie, there you are. We left you nine messages. Are you okay? Are you sick? I have a nasty cold. Did I get you sick? Was it social? Were you with a lady?
PIPPY
If I know anything about my brother, he most definitely was hookin' up.
TMI
I get it -- it's comforting. But quality over quantity. 'Cause a bachelor's life is a fine breakfast, a flat lunch, and a miserable dinner. Someone famous said that. Pippy-bear, who said that?
PIPPY
I have no clue, sweetie. But I do know this, Rosie -- Mom and Dad are in a tizzy because you went and skipped yet another family dinner. Don't go creating drama before my wedding.
TMI
Our wedding -- two people, a union.
PIPPY
Union.
ROSEWOOD
Will you two settle yourselves? I was in court, dealing with my little traffic-citation situation.
PIPPY
Uh, "little"? Try "chronic." I'm so surprised that the judge didn't just suspend your license.
ROSEWOOD
He tried to, but, you know...
PIPPY
Well, he should've -- Out there blowing through reds like you own the roads. You'd have more coins to put in the meters if you spent a little less on some of these lab toys. All I'm sayin'.
ROSEWOOD
I reinvest every single dime --
PIPPY
Dime back into the business, yeah, yeah.
ROSEWOOD
Wouldn't have it any other way. Now, as refreshing as this conversation is, what do you say we get to work? Talk to me. What's on the docket?
PIPPY
Half a dozen family consults later today -- All natural causes, nothing flashy.
TMI
And the new billboards are up. They look great -- tip-top. But we got a permit issue with the one in Coconut Grove.
ROSEWOOD
What's the problem?
PIPPY
My guess -- your smile's too damn big.
ROSEWOOD
Really? Which one? This one?
PIPPY
Ugh. Yes.
DONNA
Tell me you didn't just send me straight to voicemail for the fourth time in the last hour.
ROSEWOOD
Mom, I was in the middle of my morning rounds.
DONNA
I don't care if you're in the middle of World War 3. Obviously, your mother needs to speak to you.
PIPPY
Uh-oh. What did you do now, bro?
DONNA
Don't chime in. I left a message for you, too.
TMI
Good morning, Mrs. D.
DONNA
Hello, my sweetheart. Now, don't distract me.
PIPPY
What did I do? He's the one who missed family dinner and church again.
ROSEWOOD
Thank you.
DONNA
Just calm your body. Nobody did anything. I need your help.
DONNA
I paid the transfer fees to have a body sent over from the county morgue. She was an ex-student of mine -- graduated in '09. Nora Grayson. She died yesterday in a car crash. Her S.U.V. went over the guardrail, into the ocean.
ROSEWOOD
I'm sorry, Mom.
PIPPY
Yeah, are you okay?
DONNA
I'm gonna be fine. But her mother is not doing very well. Nora had so much potential -- A voice like you wouldn't believe. 26 years I've been at Fillmore, she was the -- ...she was the best soprano I had in the choir. Child shouldn't have even been in Miami. Should have been on an "A" train heading to Juilliard.
ROSEWOOD
The county did their autopsy. Why are you sending her to me?
DONNA
Because something's not sitting well with her family -- or with me. Nora hated driving. There's no way in hell that she's gonna be going 90 miles an hour on 395 at midnight.
ROSEWOOD
 Mom, with all due respect to you and to Nora's family, I mean, it sounds like a hunch at best to me. Are you sure that you want me to --
PIPPY
I think she's sure.
TMI
Nora Grayson, age 23.
ROSEWOOD
County path reports -- fire away.
TMI
Blood-alcohol was .06, head trauma and drowning.
PIPPY
From the looks of it, they didn't run her through the full tox and labs.
ROSEWOOD
May you rest. Showtime.
ROSEWOOD
Dr. Beaumont Rosewood Jr., June 26th. Time -- 11:15 A.M. Exam on Nora Grayson is under way. T.M.I, fly the fluids and toxies.
TMI
Copy that.
ROSEWOOD
Swab. T.M.I, shoot Chester an e-mail. Find out if the county tested the black residue in Nora's nasal cavity.
TMI
Mm-hmm. On it.
ROSEWOOD
Black-light my world.
PIPPY
Oh, wow.
ROSEWOOD
Looks like we hit the jackpot. Low platelets causing petechia. Let's run blood splits. Lights. Scalpel. Run a biopsy on that tissue. I think the skin necrotized.
TMI
Cellulitis?
PIPPY
Gangrene?
ROSEWOOD
Maybe both, so run the...
PIPPY
Biopsy.
TMI
Biopsy.

ROSEWOOD
Thank you. Fast-track everything and call me with the results.
PIPPY
Where the hell are you going?
ROSEWOOD
To see our friends at the police department.
ROSEWOOD
Hey. Hey, tell the missus I said hello, all right? The club this Saturday night's gonna be on fire! Detective Willet. Long time no see. How are the wife and kids?
WILLET
They hate me, and I hate you.
ROSEWOOD
Hey, you want to hear something exciting?
WILLET
No.
ROSEWOOD
Nora Grayson, single car crash. I noticed that the foot --
WILLET
Not my case anymore. Got kicked to a new transfer from N.Y.P.D -- Detective Villa.
ROSEWOOD
Hmm. Newbie from New York. I'm sure he can't wait to meet me.
WILLET
Well, he's a she.
ROSEWOOD
Ooh! Even better.
ROSEWOOD
Detective Villa. Got to eat fruit -- lots of fruit. It'll help kill that smoking habit before it kills you.
VILLA
Do we know each other?
ROSEWOOD
Dr. Beaumont Rosewood Jr. -- considered by some to be the Beethoven of private pathologists.
VILLA
Did you really just say that out loud?
ROSEWOOD
I also consult the police department.
ROSEWOOD:
You can call me Rosewood, Rosie, Rosie bag o' bones.
VILLA
Dr. Rosewood, can I help you with anything?
ROSEWOOD
Yeah, I'd like to welcome you to Miami.
VILLA
Mm.
ROSEWOOD
If you need a gentleman's tour, I'd like to offer my services.
VILLA
I was born and raised here. But thanks.
ROSEWOOD
Well, welcome back. Can we talk Nora Grayson?
ROSEWOOD
I was hired to do a second, more thorough autopsy. Now, the findings may surprise you.
VILLA
The county's report was sufficient.
ROSEWOOD
Detective, I've got arguably the most sophisticated pathology compound this side of the Pecos. Or on the other side of the Pecos, if you want to break it down like that.
VILLA
Wow. Okay. Is there anything else I should know?
ROSEWOOD
Oh, yes. I can read the shells of the living and the dead the same way you might read those mindless young-adult novels to help conquer your crippling insomnia.
VILLA
I hate young-adult novels, and...how would you know if I have insomnia?
ROSEWOOD
Myokymia. You have a slight spasm in your left eye.
VILLA
Doctor, it's been a pleasure.
ROSEWOOD
Hmm.
ROSEWOOD
How was the workout? I'm exhausted. Nora Grayson was murdered.
VILLA
Based on what?
ROSEWOOD
Based on my initial examination that suggests her death was no accident.
VILLA
I'm listening.
ROSEWOOD
Oh. I've got your attention. How about I tell you on the way to question whoever it was that saw her alive last?
VILLA
No, how about you tell me now and I'll take it from here, since I'm the cop and you're the medical examiner?
ROSEWOOD
"Private pathologist," thank you.
ROSEWOOD
Purpura. It's the tissue damage often seen on the palms of the hands when someone's holding on for dear life. Nora showed no signs of that. There are also contusions on the back of her hand, which suggest that her arms were limp at the time of the accident.
VILLA
You're saying she was unconscious.
ROSEWOOD
Oh, you catch on fast. I like it. I also believe that her foot was held on that gas by a foreign object.
VILLA
Nora was driving alone at a high rate of speed. She lost control and crashed. There's no evidence that her foot was weighed down by anything.
ROSEWOOD
Oh, so, you're really not getting it, so I'll tell you what -- why don't you dig a little deeper and then call me when you're ready to get serious? Professionally, of course.
ROSEWOOD
And since when did the commute from your place to my place take over an hour?
PIPPY
Well, unlike Beyoncé, I don't wake up like this.
ROSEWOOD
Mm.
PIPPY
Why are your feathers all ruffled?
ROSEWOOD
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm dealing with this new detective. She won't reopen Nora's case even though I hit her with all my good stuff.
PIPPY
Ooh -- did that include the "Beethoven of private pathology" thing?
ROSEWOOD
Yeah, I included that, yeah.
PIPPY
And that didn't work. Mm. Wonder why.
ROSEWOOD
She was impressed by that, okay? Trust me.
PIPPY
Is she your type?
ROSEWOOD
I am not trying to date the new detective, okay?
PIPPY
Rosie, you are trying to date the new anything.
ROSEWOOD
I'm looking to connect with new people, okay? Because that's what I do. I like to inspire and be inspired by everything around me, and that includes new employees at the Miami P.D.
PIPPY
Puh-lease.
ROSEWOOD
You know who you sound like, right?
PIPPY
Oh! Okay, well, speaking of our mother, she's called me four times looking for you, wanting to know if you've gotten your sleep and if you've taken your meds.
ROSEWOOD
Seriously?
PIPPY
Yeah. I don't know why you act all surprised. You know she gets overprotective in the wake of a tragedy.
ROSEWOOD
Well, I'll call her later, but right now, can we please do some work?
PIPPY
Yeah.
ROSEWOOD
I'm trying to figure out what kept Nora's foot on that gas pedal. This x-ray is clean and useless. I got it. I got it. Call T.M.I -- tell her to hit the lab and test that skin sample for carbon dioxide.
PIPPY
Okay, but it's gonna be a while. My baby is at the pole-dancing class, prepping for our honeymoon.
Ow! Ow!
ROSEWOOD
I really didn't need to know that.
PIPPY
Wooka-woo, wooka
You shouldn't be a hater.
ROSEWOOD
Pole da-- Ugh.
VILLA
Take your fruit and leave.
ROSEWOOD
Come on. Take the peaches. They're in season. Oh, and I'm definitely not leaving until you tell me what's up with that.
VILLA
Salsa competition in Brooklyn. We won first place. Goodbye.
ROSEWOOD
Interesting. Who's the guy in the tight pants?
VILLA
My husband and -- without question -- the sexiest man I've ever shared the floor with. Now, will you go?
ROSEWOOD
Soon, soon. Have to ask -- why does the youngest beat cop ever promoted to detective at the N.Y.P.D move back to Miami? The Big Apple has better pay, it has --
VILLA
Dr. Rosewood. It takes a rare bird to be the best in your profession, and you have a love affair with death. Tell me why, and I'll explain my reasons for coming home.
ROSEWOOD
Okay. I have this recurring dream about a young child growing up, getting married, and having kids. But because I met him in my lab after he was murdered, he's never gonna live out those phases of his life. And it's those moments, it's those amazing moments that are stolen -- That's what drives me. Your turn.
VILLA
M-Maybe some other time. Dr. Rosewood, e-- I think you should leave.
ROSEWOOD
I figured out how the killer got Nora's S.U.V. to fly down that freeway. See that? It's not a bruise on the top of Nora's foot. It's a burn -- frostbite.
VILLA
Maybe her body was stored in a freezer before being placed in the vehicle.
ROSEWOOD
Negative.
VILLA
You're about to throw out some scientific term I've never heard before, right?
ROSEWOOD
Chilblains -- yes. Ulceratic blisters on the skin. Now, if Nora's body was stored in the freezer, we'd see -- Say it with me --
ROSEWOOD
Chilblains.
VILLA
Chilblains.
ROSEWOOD
That's right. We do not.
VILLA
Then how could she have frostbite? The water temp when they pulled her out was 75 degrees.
ROSEWOOD
Dry ice. The killer put a block of dry ice on Nora's foot, holding it to the gas pedal. It dissolved when it went into the water. So, do we have enough to reopen the case?
VILLA
I'll file the request in the morning.
ROSEWOOD
Oh, thank you. Do we have a prime suspect?
VILLA
I have a prime suspect. We don't have anything.
ROSEWOOD
Oh. Okay. I get it, I get it. So this is the type of thing where I scratch your back, but then I kind of got to do the thing where I reach in the middle and scratch my own back.
VILLA
Mm-hmm.
ROSEWOOD
It's like that, huh?
VILLA
It's exactly like that.
ROSEWOOD
Mm. Okay.
VILLA
Okay.
VILLA
Really?
ROSEWOOD
Carlos Gomez -- Nora's ex-boyfriend and our prime suspect. They met at this hotspot called Peel, where Nora used to work. It's kind of like an all-day, all-night, outdoor club of sorts. I'm a huge fan. Anyway, her best friend told me they had a nasty breakup.
VILLA
You know, keep following me, and I'm gonna drag you back to your ridiculous car and cuff you to the steering wheel.
ROSEWOOD
Now, Villa, you need to relax, you know? I realize we haven't been partners --
VILLA
Oh, we're not partners. Let's get that straight.
ROSEWOOD
Yet -- we are not partners yet, but the future looks good.
VILLA
T-There's no future with us. Carlos! Hold it right there!
MAN
Oh!
CARLOS
you broke my nose!
VILLA
Damn right I did.
CARLOS
Aah! Oh!
ROSEWOOD
It's undeniable -- we make a great team.
CARLOS
I haven't seen Nora in weeks, okay? I didn't kill her. I loved her.
VILLA
Yeah? Then why run and take a ladylike swing at a cop?
CARLOS
Because I'm on probation. I got a dime of weed and some "X" in my bag. Why is this dude staring at me?
VILLA
Rosewood, I'm not gonna ask you again. Go wait outside.
ROSEWOOD
I'm not a child. And I have an ace.
VILLA
Then play it and get out of here.
CARLOS
Okay, okay, get away from me!
VILLA
Stop smelling the suspect.
CARLOS
You know, this is -- this is really weird. Look, I'm not really sure that this is legal, so maybe we should --
ROSEWOOD
Oh, it's legal. She's the real deal.
VILLA
Hablas español, no?
ROSEWOOD
Oh! Are you speaking Spanish? You know, I took Spanish in the third grade -- Soaked it up like a sponge. Entiendo todo. I understand everything you're saying. Go ahead.
VILLA
Look, I spoke to Nora's friends. I know she was disappearing for days at a time. You thought she was cheating, right? See, I think she came over here and she looked amazing. You know? You push your anger aside, and -- I don't know -- you guys start kissing. But the thought of another man's lips on hers is too much. And you snapped. You threw something at her, and it slammed into your TV. You got carried away and killed her, didn't you? Made it look like she died in a car accident?
CARLOS
Yes. I-I-I mean, no. I threw something, but not at her. I swear.
ROSEWOOD
Carlos, almond butter -- where's your almond butter?
VILLA
I need you to shut up.
ROSEWOOD
Uh, 'scuse me. This is my case, too, okay? And I need you to stop showing off with the bilingual stuff.
VILLA
Last chance -- when did you see Nora?
CARLOS
I told you -- two weeks ago.
ROSEWOOD
Sub-gastric enhancer. It's a high-end pathology toy, tells me everything a victim ingested within a matter of hours, not days. It's my ace in the hole. Nora's last supper consisted of saltines, almond butter, and she washed it down with a whiskey sour just hours prior to her death. Now, is this a coincidence that you have all this stuff stocked? I don't think so. So, again, when's the last time you saw Nora?
CARLOS
Okay. Okay. I saw her the night that she died. But I'm telling you that I didn't kill her. I was drinking, I passed out.
VILLA
Carlos, you're under arrest for the murder of Nora Grayson.
CARLOS
Oh, man.
ROSEWOOD
Told you she was the real deal.
PIPPY
Hey, babe. Are you gonna give me the microgs per mill or what?
TMI
2.6 blood. Your tone sucks. 1.1 urine. I don't appreciate it.
PIPPY
Well, Rosie's been asking for these results all day, and don't act like you haven't been dragging your adorable little feet.
TMI
Say "adorable" again.
PIPPY
Hey, Rosie. Nora was definitely drugged.
ROSEWOOD
I got it. Thank you. Love you. Bye. Hey, Villa, hold up.
VILLA
Geez. What is it now?
ROSEWOOD
Hey, Carlos, you got a rash on your ass -- You know, itchy skin, lower back, ass cheeks?
CARLOS
Yeah, I asked for a lawyer.
ROSEWOOD
Hey, come on. I'm trying to help you out.
CARLOS
Yeah.
ROSEWOOD
Lift up his shirt. Let me see his stomach. Boom! All right, big Carlos. Someone slipped drugs into your drink the other night. That's the reason why you got a rash on your ass and all those spots on your stomach. It's called petechia. It's common in leukemia patients, but it also shows up in people that are pill poppers. Wow. Say that five times fast.
CARLOS
I was drugged?
ROSEWOOD
Yeah, ketamine -- horse tranquilizers. My lab just confirmed it was in Nora's system. It was also in yours. I know you're telling the truth.
CARLOS
Yeah -- thank you, man. I'm -- I'm -- I'm sorry that I yelled at you.
ROSEWOOD
It's all good. It's all good. But let's not forget Nora. She lost her life. Always remind yourself that each day is a gift. That'll help you on your path to being a better man and less of a jackass.
CARLOS
Yeah, well, I hear you, bro.
ROSEWOOD
You hear me?
CARLOS
Yeah.
ROSEWOOD
All right, bring it in for the real thing.
VILLA
Oh, you got to be kidding me. Break it up! Carlos, who could've slipped you guys the drugs?
CARLOS
I don't know. I mean, it was just us.
VILLA
Did she bring the whiskey with her?
CARLOS
Yeah.
VILLA
How about the guy you suspected she was having an affair with?
CARLOS
I just know that it was some older dude. Uh, I didn't ask anything about him, and I don't know his name.
VILLA
We're back to square one.
ROSEWOOD
Look, Mom, I can't just pull evidence out of thin air. We just hit a wall right now.
DONNA
Well, I guess that's it, isn't it? 'Cause I know how these things go down. A few days without a lead, and the cops move on to other cases, and you move on to yet another body. I'm gonna blink, and Nora's gonna be just another file in some dusty basement.
ROSEWOOD
I'm not gonna let that happen, Mom.
DONNA
Son... this girl was special. She had a gift -- a passion for life and for people. She always saw the good before the bad. Like someone else I know.
ROSEWOOD
I get it. You don't have to give me the extra push on this one. Nora meant so much to you, so she means the world to me.
DONNA
Then what are you standing here for? Go find what you're missing.
ROSEWOOD
Nora's hair got darker on the table.
PIPPY
Yeah, it went from real blond to a dirty-ish blond in the 24 hours she's been with us.
TMI
Hair and nail growth after death is normal. Color change after death is super-weird.
ROSEWOOD
Villa, check that follicle sample under that microscope. Look blue?
VILLA
Yeah -- blue. That's weird. Why blue?
PIPPY
Meclizine hydrochloride. It's found in motion-sickness meds.
ROSEWOOD
My toxicology queen.
VILLA
So you're saying Nora was on a... boat or plane or what?
ROSEWOOD
Meclizine saturates anything made of keratin. That's our hair, our nails. A few days without oxygen, it turns from crystal clear to navy blue. That's what happened to Nora's hair. Nora was taking meds daily, which means she was taking trips regularly.
VILLA
Wait a second -- one of the items in Nora's purse was a monthly pass to the Golden Harbor Marina.
ROSEWOOD
Which means she was visiting someone an awful lot.
VILLA
Pass means security. Security means admission logs.
ROSEWOOD
Admission logs mean the name of the person she was visiting.
VILLA
Boom!
ROSEWOOD
Boom!
VILLA
According to marina security, Nora was visiting a boat called the Blue Izzy. It's registered to a 60-Year-old ex-con named Arthur Briggs.
ROSEWOOD
Sounds like the guy Nora was having an affair with.
VILLA
Briggs has been out of prison for four years with no run-ins.
ROSEWOOD
Well, he's about to run into us today.
VILLA
He's running into me today. You're staying on this boat until your talents are needed.
ROSEWOOD
Talents? You think I'm talented?
VILLA
I'm serious, Rosie. It's too dangerous.
ROSEWOOD
Rosie! You just called me Rosie -- Rosie and talented. That was really nice and partner-like. It just warms my heart. That's all I'm saying. It warms my heart.
VILLA
Arthur Briggs! This is Detective Villa! I need to ask you a few questions! Arthur!
WILLET
What the hell am I looking at?
VILLA
Cocaine mixed with fillers -- Plastic being one of them. It reeks of P.V.C.
ROSEWOOD
Found the same brand of blow in Nora's nasal cavity. Hey, Willet. Nice tie.
WILLET
All right, here's how it went down. Nora needed the money. She saw an opportunity. Arthur could buy her silence, or she rats his drug business out to the cops. Detective, he killed her, and then, out of guilt, he took his own life. It's done and done.
VILLA
It doesn't hold. The Blue Izzy hasn't moved in two years. Nora wouldn't be taking motion-sickness meds if she was on a boat that never set sail. And this black cocaine sitting under a table feels like a plant. I think this was murder. I want to expedite an autopsy.
WILLET
All right, you don't want to bill the city $6,500 for Rosewood to rush an autopsy unless you're positive the guy was murdered.
ROSEWOOD
Actually, it's $7,500 -- for the rush job. And, uh, I vote yes.
WILLET
You don't get a vote. All right, it's your call, Villa. But I know nothing about it.
VILLA
Please tell me you got something.
ROSEWOOD
Looks like Arthur blew his brains out.
VILLA
You find anything yet? Because I got something.
ROSEWOOD
Nope. Still looks like Arthur blew his brains out.
VILLA
Arthur had an active captain's license. He lied on his application, and they issued him one last year, so he was manning a boat -- just not his boat. And I spoke to Arthur's ex-wife. He had a daughter around Nora's age that passed away five years ago from cancer. I don't think he was being blackmailed. I think he was helping a young girl in trouble. Why are you looking at me like that?
ROSEWOOD
Because, while all of this is mildly interesting, it doesn't help me. I need time to review my autopsy results, because, as of right now, it still looks like Arthur committed suicide.
VILLA
Are you asking me to leave?
ROSEWOOD
No, no, of course not, but I'm sure your husband wouldn't mind seeing you for the first time in -- I don't know -- 36 hours? Oh, look --- the door.
VILLA
Wow. Okay. Nice. So, you want to know why I got promoted so fast in New York? Because I put everything second to my job. But the burning question today is, why are you so obsessed with your work? It's not just about the victims. What you do and why you do it runs deeper than that. It's strange to have so many pills in a place where the people that roll in have lost their ability to swallow. You want to know what I think?
ROSEWOOD
I'm on the edge of my seat.
VILLA
I think I was right. You are obsessed with death, and I think that obsession has something to do with all these pills you're dining on. You know what? Call me when you're ready to get serious. Professionally, of course.
ROSEWOOD
Warfarin. It's an anticoagulant for people with congenital heart defects.
VILLA
Was Arthur on it?
ROSEWOOD
No. I am. I've got a pair of holes in my heart. Santyl to prevent aneurysms in my constantly bleeding brain, Daylin for the calcifying of my eardrums, which means the music dies for me in the next decade. Had my first stroke when I was 11, my second when I was 21. I have a shaky hand to prove it. Botulinum toxin -- never leave home without it. Helps steady... the tremble.
VILLA
What happened to you?
ROSEWOOD
Let's just say there's a reason why babies hang out in the womb for nine months. My anxious ass rode out in six -- Four months in the neonatal intensive-care unit and a body laced with issues. So... yes. I have a unique relationship with death, but it has never been my obsession. My obsession is with every breath I take. And who knows -- maybe I'll be able to diagnose myself before the next bomb in my body goes... boom. Pippy!
PIPPY
Yeah?
ROSEWOOD
Check for nodules.
PIPPY
Check for what?
ROSEWOOD
Hand nodules! Check for hand nodules!
PIPPY
Okay, why are you yelling? You know that makes me flustered.
ROSEWOOD
Highlight the joints. Bang. Rheumatoid arthritis. Those hot spots you see are nodules -- Very early signs of disease. Arthur had vulnerable blood vessels.
VILLA
So, what are you saying?
ROSEWOOD
I'm saying that, had he fired a 9-millimeter weapon, I'd see discoloration in his skin. I do not.
TMI
I see discoloration. Check monitor 3. I'm awesome.
ROSEWOOD
Peel Beach Club.
VILLA
That's where Nora used to work.
ROSEWOOD
A 60-year-old man rolling to a hot spot like that -- That's worth checking out.
VILLA
I'd say so.
ROSEWOOD
And guess who happens to know someone at that establishment who could help us out in a big way.
VILLA
You.
ROSEWOOD
Me.
PIPPY
Him.
VILLA
You sure about this Joo-Joo guy?
ROSEWOOD
Yeah, he's connected. He knows people's business. If Arthur was here, he'll know why.
ROSEWOOD
Joo-Joo, my man!
JOO JOO
Oh! Dr. Rosie? Hey, come on in here, man, drink it up. What's mine is yours. Daisy, sling a virgin-virgin for my V.I.P. Yo, you want me to hook you up with some swim trunks, bro?
ROSEWOOD
Nah, no dip for me today, Joo-Joo. This is Detective Villa. We're not gonna stay long -- just strictly business.
JOO JOO
What kind of business? Risky business?
VILLA
See this girl right here? Nora Grayson. She was murdered. Tell me about her.
JOO JOO
Check it -- I don't know that girl in any capacity, okay?
VILLA
Your heart looks like it's racing, Joo-Joo. Are you lying to me?
JOO JOO
Rosie, I thought we were friends. You bringing the fuzz up in here to ruin my day off like this?
ROSEWOOD
Okay, look, forget about the girl. How about a guy named Arthur Briggs? He came in to see somebody on her behalf. Now he's dead. Who'd he come to see?
JOO JOO
Bro, you tryin' to get me killed asking me questions like this? I got a wife and kids and a chick on the side to think about. Come on, now!
VILLA
Look, Rosie, it's my turn to play with Joo-Joo.
JOO JOO
Your turn? He barely even got his turn. Rosie, put a leash on this chick, man.
VILLA
No, no, no, no, no, he's gonna hang tight and sip on his virgin-virgin like a gentleman. Isn't that right, Rosie?
ROSEWOOD
This is good.
JOO JOO
I don't know squat about some dead girl or some old dead dude.
VILLA
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We never said Arthur was old.
JOO JOO
I assumed it. Now scatter back. I have to get my massage on. Stressing me out like this. Damn.
ROSEWOOD
Look, let me talk to Joo-Joo one-on-one.
VILLA
No, no, no. I'll go talk to him one-on-one.
VILLA
Get out of here.
JOO JOO
Now you playing with fire. 
VILLA
Stay down!
JOO JOO
Aah!
VILLA
Bow that tiny head of yours. Let us pray.
JOO JOO
Pray? To who? Are you insane?
VILLA
Dear God, Joo-Joo would like to ask if your holy hands will kindly grace him, shake the truth from his lying lips as he kneels before us like a scared little bitch.
JOO JOO
You need help from a pro.
VILLA
Say amen. Don't disrespect the Lord.
JOO JOO
A-Amen, okay? Amen.
VILLA
Now you're gonna tell me everything you know. Otherwise, I'm gonna drag you back to the Jacuzzi and baptize your shifty ass in a very un-Christian sort of way.
JOO JOO
A-Aah!
VILLA
Now you want to start talking?
ROSEWOOD
Hey, be honest -- did you kill Joo-Joo?
VILLA
No, but we bonded in a meaningful way.
ROSEWOOD
I don't want to know what that means, but I do want to know what he said.
VILLA
Arthur Briggs came here to see a guy named Prince Mendez.
ROSEWOOD
Oh, yeah -- Deejay Prince 305.
VILLA
Prince rents a yacht called the Sunseeker. He hosts parties on the boat to Cozumel and back. My money says he heads there to pick up his supply. Arthur was the captain. Nora was one of the hostesses on the boat.
ROSEWOOD
Well, let's go talk to Prince.
VILLA
Oh, I'm going -- tomorrow night. He's hosting a lavender party on the boat. Perfect opportunity to take a look around without a warrant.
ROSEWOOD
Lavender -- now you're speaking my color. And you know I've earned an invite to the party.
VILLA
And I know you're gonna show up anyway.
ROSEWOOD
True. But your blessing would be nice.
VILLA
9:00 p.m. sharp at the Golden Harbor Marina.
ROSEWOOD
Ooh. Plenty of time to go shopping.
PIPPY
Is that my hat?
ROSEWOOD
Was your hat. You left it at the office. And it looks better on me, anyway.
PIPPY
You wish. I thought you said it was a lavender party, anyway.
ROSEWOOD
No, Detective Villa said it was a lavender party. And she also said it's at the Golden Harbor, which I happen to know has noise restrictions. She's trying to send me on a little goose chase, but she's gonna have to be a hell of a lot savvier than that to shake me.
PIPPY
Mm. I told you -- you've got a thing for the new detective.
ROSEWOOD
Pipp, I have a job to do, okay? And, as we both know, this one's very personal. And she has a husband.
PIPPY
All right, listen, I'm out, bro. But please -- don't get yourself killed while catching the bad guy tonight, all right?
PRINCE
Miami, Miami, where you at?!
PRINCE
Hey, yo, check it -- I'm Deejay Prince 305. William H. Hazy is next, Mix-Man Sloppy Thirds to follow. I'll circle around for an encore, but in the meantime... Magic City, let's make some very bad decisions tonight!
VILLA
Prince. What's up with that dance we talked about?
PRINCE
Ah, girl, you are persistent.
VILLA
Can you blame me? Come on, papi. You're not gonna want to take your hands off me.
PRINCE
Okay, I'll see what you got.
VILLA
Give me one second. I'm gonna freshen up.
PRINCE
I'm not waiting around.
VILLA
I won't be long. I promise.
ROSEWOOD
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
VILLA
What are you doing?!
ROSEWOOD
Surprised I figured out your little game, huh?
VILLA
You're an unarmed pathologist. I'm trying to help you not get killed.
ROSEWOOD
Excuse me -- I'm the reason why you're here in the first place, okay? Now, how long you been here? And don't lie.
VILLA
Long enough to set the table. Now get out of here.
ROSEWOOD
Oh, you want to dance? You want to dance? I can dance. You want to dance?
VILLA
You are a huge pain in my ass! You know that?
ROSEWOOD
Well, get used to the pain. Come on. Tag me in.
VILLA
Look, I went into the main cabin to use the bathroom, and Prince has two guys guarding the stairs to the lower deck. He's protecting something. I need to get down there, see what I see.
ROSEWOOD
Well, how you gonna swing that?
VILLA
Call in a noise complaint, get a black-and-white out here, distract Prince, hopefully draw his guys away from their post while I take a look around.
ROSEWOOD
Oh, okay, then the cops make him nervous, he shuts the whole thing down and sails off to Mexico. No bueno.
VILLA
Then I'll find another way down there, but it will not involve you.
ROSEWOOD
How about you find another way down there that does involve me?
VILLA
Rosie, no.
ROSEWOOD
Villa, yes. Come on. Let's do this.
ROSEWOOD
Deejay Prince to the 3 to the 0 to the 5. What's happening, man?
PRINCE
Hey. Uh, hey, can I help you?
ROSEWOOD
Actually, you can help me, man. I'm a big fan. I want you to spin at my sister's wedding. It's a $100,000 affair at the Zen house. Now, come on. What do you say? I'll float you a deposit right now if you in.
PRINCE
No. Why don't you scram?
ROSEWOOD
Come on. You don't believe in love?
PRINCE
No, I don't believe in dudes I don't know coming on my boat. Now get down there with the scrubs.
ROSEWOOD
Okay, you know what? I can respect that. I-I-I can. I can. You know what? Can I just hop on the mic one time? Come on. I always wanted to do it, man. Come on.
PRINCE
Hell no.
ROSEWOOD
One time. Hold up. How you doin', Miami?!
ROSEWOOD
Dr. Rosie in the house! Who's your favorite private pathologist?!
PRINCE
Hey, hey! Have you lost your mind?!
ROSEWOOD
Have you lost... Call an ambulance.
PRINCE
Yeah, yeah, g-get the boys and get this drama off my boat.
VILLA
Hey, big sexy. I think I got to use the bathroom, like, two minutes ago.
GUARD
Not here -- upper deck.
ROSEWOOD
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Help me out. Help me out here, man. I need some juice. My glycemic index is crashing. Come on. Come on. Don't make me call 911. Just give me some juice.
GUARD 2
Get this dude some juice -- quickly.
ROSEWOOD
Good lookin' out. Good lookin' out. Appreciate it. Yeah. Hey, big man. Let me return the favor. You might want to get that spot on your neck checked out. Pretty soon, it's gonna bloom into full-blown carcinoma, and you don't want that.
GUARD 2
What are you, a doctor?
ROSEWOOD
I dabble.
PRINCE
So sad there's no future for you and me. And I had high hopes.
VILLA
My backup is already on the way. I know you killed Nora. I knew it before I saw that burn on your hand -- From the dry ice. She was one of your party girls, right? You sail out to Mexico, pick up this cocaine. If the D.E.A. comes aboard, all they see is a boat loaded with records and pretty ladies.
PRINCE
You know, it doesn't matter if I killed her. By the time your help gets here, you'll be dead, too, and I'll be on that cigarette boat waiting for me by the bridge.
PRINCE
Bitch, you better fall back before you get this girl killed!
VILLA
Okay, Prince! We're cool!
PRINCE
Now put the gun down and let me be gone! Do it!
ROSEWOOD
Me again! Hey, Prince. Botulinum toxin – B.T.X for short. Injected under the epidermis, and you're looking years younger. Injected into your bloodstream, and it feels like every nerve in your body is on fire. Now, once I inject the full dose, it's gonna feel like your spinal cord's spinning like razor blades. So release the gun before I inject the rest. Come on! There you go, 305. There you go.
PRINCE
You got nothing on me, lady cop. They're never gonna pin those murders on me.
VILLA
Why don't you check your pocket? I slipped you a little something during our special dance. It's my Bluetooth. I gave 911 dispatch a call about 10 minutes ago. I had them hang on the line, record everything just in case you said anything juicy. Turns out you did!
ROSEWOOD
Come on, now. Come on. That was sweet, right? You and I working together as a team. You and I together? I'm the yin, you're the yang?
VILLA
You're oil, I'm water. And we got lucky.
ROSEWOOD
We got him.
DONNA
Oh, son. Thank you.
ROSEWOOD
I like to have a milkshake when I solve a big case. You like milkshakes?
VILLA
Everyone likes milkshakes.
ROSEWOOD
So, what do you say? My treat.
VILLA
Thanks, but I'll take a rain check.
ROSEWOOD
Rain check? Now, you know that means we have to team up again. And...
"Ocean Point Baptist Church." They offer a grief-recovery group there every Friday. I used to send families there after they lost a loved one. Your husband died, didn't he? That's why you transferred back home. What happened to him?
VILLA
Nine months ago, he ran a marathon in Central Park. Pizza, movie, bed -- that was our Sunday routine. He slept like a baby that night. The next morning, he -- he got up, put on his favorite suit... kissed me goodbye... and collapsed. Pulmonary embolism. Gone before he hit the floor. When you lose the love of your life, it -- it makes you love life less. Say that five times fast.
ROSEWOOD
Villa, I'm sorry. Had I known that, I wouldn't have been saying that --
VILLA
No. Don't worry about it. It's okay. Rosie, what are you really doing here? The case is closed.
ROSEWOOD
Came to offer you a Groupon -- A two-for-one autopsy special at my lab.
VILLA
The Beethoven of private pathologists is offering a discount?
ROSEWOOD
Yes, but only on your cases. All those other detectives can kiss my talented ass.
ROSEWOOD
A smile. I'm gonna leave while you're still smiling. Oh, and, Villa... If you ever forget what I look like, just turn south.
ROSEWOOD
I accept all major credit cards.
