Quotes 

• Carrie Wells : Everyone knows you can't make a left on 5th between 7:00 and 7:00. Hold on, Al. And then you're stuck all the way to 9th before you can go south. What? What tone? I'm educating someone.

  Taxi Driver : When you get your cab license, then you can come back and talk to me, all right?

  Carrie Wells : I'm sorry, what'd you say?

  Taxi Driver : You heard me.

  Carrie Wells : Well, for your information, I did drive a cab, and I did it a lot better than...

  Taxi Driver : Stuff it in your...

  [the blaring horn of a passing truck drowns him out] 

  Carrie Wells : Wow. Nice.

  Taxi Driver : Yeah.

  Carrie Wells : Very original!

  Taxi Driver : Have a nice day.

• Al Burns : Where are you, exactly?

  Carrie Wells : I'm outside a club in Midtown. I'm sort of here to try and see my Aunt Edie.

  Al Burns : Aunt Edie? What's she been up to?

  Carrie Wells : I don't know. I, uh... I just saw that she was in town for a few days. I thought I'd show her the sketch of Jonathan, see if she recognized him.

  Al Burns : Okay, but if you two end up in the penthouse of the Four Seasons playing Battleship with B.B. King and Mick Jagger, you gotta call me.

  Carrie Wells : How do you even remember that? And it was Keith Richards, by the way.

• Al Burns : Majestic? Yeah, I guess I can see that.

  Carrie Wells : You're kind.

  Al Burns : Sounds like Aunt Edie hasn't changed much.

  Carrie Wells : She was totally manic, and-and when I brought up going to see Alice, it was like suggesting root canal, and she loves my mom.

  Al Burns : So I guess no sketch, huh?

  Carrie Wells : You kidding me? I should have sent you.

  Al Burns : She did always like me.

  Carrie Wells : No, what she liked... was your butt.

• Mike Costello : Neighbors have her as Amy O'Malley. Lived up in 3B. Folks were away. She's a junior at St. Bennet's. Everything I hear, she's a good kid.

  Al Burns : She come off the roof?

  Mike Costello : 3B doesn't get you something like this.

  Al Burns : Suicide?

  Mike Costello : Maybe. Looks like the fall is what killed her. And there's no other signs of major trauma, but...

  Carrie Wells : [noticing something]  What about these?

  Mike Costello : Yeah, exactly.

  Carrie Wells : They wrap all the way around. These aren't from impact.

  Al Burns : Pretty consistent with defensive wounds. Let's bag the hands.

• Carrie Wells : Front-row seats.

  Al Burns : Let's get a canvass going. If no one saw what happened, they saw Amy up here other days. Maybe they put her with someone. Let's take a look at the sex crimes in the area, see if there's a pattern.

  Roe Saunders : Hey, guys? Parents are here.

  Mike Costello : I'll get on the neighbors.

• Carrie Wells : So, when does Amy usually get home?

  Erin O'Malley : Today is... Wednesday?

  Carrie Wells : Yeah.

  Erin O'Malley : Um, Amy would have left school at a quarter after 1:00. Wednesdays are half-days. She walks home.

  Al Burns : Alone? With a friend?

  Erin O'Malley : Alone. She goes to St. Bennet's. It's just a few blocks. But usually, she would do her homework first thing.

  Al Burns : Sorry to ask you this, but when did you last speak with your daughter?

  Sean O'Malley : Uh, breakfast. We all ate together.

• Carrie Wells : [on a roof adjacent to the crime scene]  Someone was working here.

  Al Burns : Talk about front-row seats. Looks like we got an eyewitness out there somewhere.

  Carrie Wells : Or a killer.

• Carrie Wells : Sean, your daughter wasn't expecting a baby.

  Sean O'Malley : Says who?

  Carrie Wells : Says the medical examiner.

  Sean O'Malley : Oh, jeez...

  Carrie Wells : Listen to me, Sean. We need your help, okay?

  Sean O'Malley : How? What can I do?

  Carrie Wells : You read Amy's journal. You said she met Jared Raines at a dance, but he said he never heard of her.

  Sean O'Malley : But I remember the name. She said they met, they danced, he kissed her. What, you think this... this never happened?

  Carrie Wells : I think that Amy wasn't happy being Amy, that she desperately wanted to be other people, and that in her journal, she could do that. People she looked up to, loved, admired.

  Sean O'Malley : You think she was writing... what... about a... a friend?

  Carrie Wells : Maybe. But you are the only person who has read that journal, and I need you to think of anything that can help us figure out who that friend is.

• Carrie Wells : Katie... do you want to tell them why Amy did it, or do you want me to? It's gonna come out eventually, so either you can tell your father or I will.

  Daniel Monaghan : Tell me what?

  Katie Monaghan : I was pregnant. I had it terminated.

  Daniel Monaghan : What?

  Katie Monaghan : I had the procedure done last Friday. You and mom were in Boston. Amy helped me get enough money to pay for it.

  Daniel Monaghan : How long have you been lying to me?

  Katie Monaghan : I was eight weeks.

• Mike Costello : Why was Amy stealing money to pay for your abortion?

  Katie Monaghan : I didn't want my parents to find out. It's the kind of friend Amy was.

  Carrie Wells : What were you two fighting about on the roof?

  Katie Monaghan : She wanted me to come clean about why she stole the money. She didn't like lying to her parents.

  Carrie Wells : So she was a threat to you?

  Katie Monaghan : I didn't kill her. When I left, Amy was still alive.

  Carrie Wells : But you told someone else, didn't you? Who was the father, Katie?

  Katie Monaghan : Why does it matter?

  Carrie Wells : Because he might have seen Amy as a threat also. Amy adored you, didn't she? Must have felt really good to have a friend like that. It's not too late to be that special friend she wrote about. It's not too late to show her how much she meant to you. Help us. Who was the father?

  Katie Monaghan : I have nothing more to say.

• Mike Costello : I don't understand how she can protect this guy after he killed her friend.

  Carrie Wells : She doesn't think he did.

  Mike Costello : It's pretty obvious, no?

  Carrie Wells : Not when you're in love.

• Al Burns : She says she was two months along. Let's see if we can't dig up who she was seeing two months back. Get with Katie's friends...

  Carrie Wells : Two months ago.

  [remembering a photograph at the school] 

  Carrie Wells : Biology trip was two months ago. They were camping by the lake. "Hair wet with stars." Adam Collier was the chaperone. "Forget who he was to her... a secret burden... the gift of the cicada and its irrepressible rhythm, clickety-click-click. Clickety-click click." It's Collier. He's the father.

• Nina Inara : School receptionist says Collier just left.

  Mike Costello : [on the phone]  Yeah. Thanks.

  [hanging up] 

  Mike Costello : Phone company just got a ping from Collier's cell phone, 14th and Euclid, couple of minutes ago.

  Carrie Wells : He's on his way to the O'Malleys'.

  Nina Inara : Back to the crime scene? What's he gonna do there?

  Carrie Wells : He's going to get the journal. It's the only evidence of their relationship.

  Al Burns : But there's nothing about Collier in the journal. Sean O'Malley read it; he would have told us.

  Carrie Wells : Yeah, but Collier doesn't know that. He thinks the journal led us to Katie. He probably thinks it implicates him.

  Nina Inara : You think it's still there?

  Carrie Wells : Amy goes off the roof, Collier's not gonna stop to read the journal. He can't get caught with it, so he stashes it before he leaves the building.

  Roe Saunders : But why's he getting it now, out of the blue? He doesn't know we're onto him.

  Carrie Wells : Maybe he does.

  [remembering Katie leaving, she notices a reflection in a mirror] 

  Carrie Wells : She texted him. She told him we were onto him. He doesn't know if we have the journal or not.

  Al Burns : Let's go.
