Six months later, | we were called in on the case.
Our autopsy proved | that she died of apoplexy...
...at almost the exact moment | the husband was buying a bus ticket.
- Saved that husband a little trouble. | You sure did.
A little trouble? Hm.
Say, but what about the puddle of blood?
Oh, uh, when she collapsed, | she bumped her nose. Nosebleed.
I'll get this case started.
- Say, doctor. | - Yeah?
- What's this? | - Man's head was split wide open.
It wasn't murder either.
It certainly wasn't apoplexy.
McADOO:
Believe it or not, | he did it himself. On purpose.What is your name, please, madam?
Address?
How long ago did this happen?
Just a second.
- Sorry. | - Kilrain.
Maple? This is | the Boston Detective Bureau, mister.
Open the door, would you, Garrity?
We'll send someone right up, | Mr. Charles. Please don't touch anything.
Run this down, will you, Garrity?
Says a man came to fix her phone.
She got suspicious | because he wasn't wearing any pants.
Oh, Moralas, this is O'Hara.
- How are you? | How do you do?
Cape Cod skeleton case. | He'll be with us a while.
Been over to see McAdoo yet?
Do you know around 300,000...?
People die every year in this country | from unexplained causes.
He's met McAdoo all right.
It's because only eight states | require coroners to be doctors.
Maybe they figure doctors | can't help when you're dead.
No, I don't know. | Doctors like McAdoo can help plenty.
I saw murders | that turned out to be suicides.
Suicides that were accidents, | and accidents that paid off in murder.
- McAdoo say yours is murder? | - I think it is.
Take it easy. | Ever been on a murder case before?
Not exactly. Up in the Portuguese district | where I'm assigned, it's mostly small stuff.
- Excuse me. | - Let's unwind, lieutenant.
- You had dinner yet? | - Nope.
When do you see McAdoo again? | First thing tomorrow morning.
McADOO:
| Can you see it all right?- Got it? | Mm.
McADOO:
Now, those are from your case. | Human hairs under low magnification.They're darker at one end, aren't they?
Mm-hm. | Dark end natural, white end bleached.
- That makes it a blond. | - Or the murderer was a blond.
- Then it was murder. | - If it was murder.
- So far, we've got blond hair. | - Mm-hm.
Now, those leaves you brought in:
Cape flora, low blueberry, poison ivy.
Here's the poison ivy.
Now, these plants stopped growing | the day the body covered them.
They're almost in full leaf, the size | they should be the end of May.
- Then we know the date of the murder. | - Well, not necessarily.
Suppose the body had been dead | when brought there.
- If it had been brought there. | - Then, what have we got?
