- Great.

- Well, this is way beyond

any car accident I've ever seen.

- What're you saying?

- What I'm saying is,

while the smoke inhalation and

burns were enough to kill her,

she was already dead

well before that,

and if she was

still strapped in,

there's practically no way

her head could get

twisted around like that.

Her spinal cord's

been completely severed.

She's in worse shape

than the car she crashed in.

Hold on,

there's another one.

- Come on, son,

get a hold of yourself.

Man up.

[JEWELRY CLANGING]

- What is that?

- I think it's gold.

- Gold?

- Sheriff, you might have

a homicide on your hands.

- Oh, ho, ho, no way.

This woman

was a federal employee.

I do not need

that kind of publicity.

- I get it.

This is only

a preliminary diagnosis.

I'm not ready to sign

the certificate just yet.

- Well, you better make sure

you dot all your t's

and cross your I's

before you determine

cause of death.

[JEWELRY CLATTERING]

- Sorry, sorry.

- Gold.

I gotta make a call.

Stupid.

- Hey, Todd, you okay?

- I can't help it.

When I start to feel stress,

I sweat.

I freeze up a little bit.

I can't control my nerves,

you know?

- Then it's a good thing

you became a cop,

no stress there.

- Yeah.

[LAUGHS]

Right, yeah.

- Are you up for

a session tonight?

- Yeah, sure.

I mean, you've had

a busy day, and...

- No, no, it's not a problem.

It's just as relaxing

for me as it is for you.

- Okay, then.

- Yeah.

- I'll see you later.

- Okay.

- Let's go, Todd.

We got work to do.

- Okay,

yep, yep, yep, yep.

- Leave that.

[SIGHS]

- This is yours.

- Thanks.

- So, what's the verdict?

Did Teresa

save the day or what?

- I'm still on lockdown.

Teresa got called

back to the hospital

before she could even

put her purse down,

and grandma's

still acting all crazy.

- Mace and I are going

to the spot tomorrow.

- Can Rick and I come?

- Yeah, of course.

- Grandma hates

that I'm dating a guelo,

not like there's a lot

of cute Chinese guys

to choose from

around here.

- Well, I don't want to

get you into trouble.

- Apparently

I'm already in trouble.

- Oh, my brother's here.

I gotta go.

- Veronica?

- Come on in.

- Hey.

- No offense,

but you look like crap.

- I feel like crap.

Ah, did you get dinner?

- Mm-hmm,

leftovers, again.

- Ooh, sorry about that.

I will make that up to you.

Hey, I was gonna go over

to Teresa's house.

She's gonna help me

with my stupid panic attacks.

Is that cool?

- Sure you're not just

using that as an excuse

to spend time with her?

I think you might

just be into her.

- Um, it's purely

a professional...

Anyway, good talk,

and I will let you

get back to your homework.
