[Finds a design on the victim's underwear] SG? What the hell does that stand for?
Adam RossI know what SG stands for. Yeah, I, uh, used to date one of them and uh, phew, yeah she kind of broke my heart. It was a long time ago.
Nevermind, nevermind. What's this mean?
Adam RossOh, uh, she's a Suicide Girl.
You got anything on the railing?
Adam RossThat's a joke, right?
Call it wishful thinking.
Adam RossHuh, it's got more trace on it than a public restroom. Actually, I have no idea what I'm looking for here.
Sometimes you don't know what you're looking for until you find it.
[a tech hands him a folder] Thank you. [He opens it] Our photographer's prints didn't
match the print we found on the vic. We got a hit on someone else. See if you can put her
on the railing.
Adam Ross[Reads the folder] Mandi Foster? Oh, oh, I love Mandi Foster.
[Mac smiles and leaves]
Adam RossHey guys.
Adam RossHey Danny, you remember that rust stuff you found in the alley?
Rust stuff? Rust stuff? You respect the time it took me to collect that, at least call it "trace."
Adam Ross: Okay. Contained traces of molasses and non-human blood. Bear blood to be exact.
Adam RossNorth American Grizzly Bear. But, but there's more. The blood on this rock is a match to Cyrus Menlo, but it's also a match to the blood found on these leaves.
Both human blood, right?
Adam Ross: Right. [Holds the two leaves up]But you put them together like this and shazam.
You got one leaf - with a hole in the middle of it.
Adam RossA hole probably made from a spike or something with a jagged edge. Right, huh, you see where I'm going here?
Bear blood, molasses, leaves with human blood on them, a spike and a jagged edge, you're talking bear traps.
Adam RossYes, you win the washer and dryer.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, help me out here. You're telling me Cyrus Menlo was caught in a bear trap?
Adam RossYeah.
You're crazy.
Adam RossIt's the only conclusion we can arrive at with this evidence.
So Tanaka sets the bear trap, leads Cyrus Menlo down the alley, Tanaka goes into the warehouse...
Adam Ross- Bang bang, Tanaka gets shot. Cyrus walks out, steps in the trap while Tanaka bleeds to death inside the warehouse. Moral of the story, alright: stick with bowling. What up?
[He and Danny fist bump]
Adam RossCheck this out. [He puts a slide under the microscope] Alright, look, look. It's a piece of the moon. A moon rock. Yeah, this rock is, is from the moon.
From the moon?
Adam RossOuter space.
Get outta here. Wow. How did a piece of the moon end up in the alley?
Adam RossI-I don't know. This stuff is illegal to have and somebody went through a lot of trouble to get it. I mean I've seen this stuff listed on eBay before, you know, and most of it isn't real, but if it is short of going to the moon they would have had to steal from NASA.
Something happened in that alley and I don't think it had anything to do with what happened in the warehouse.
AdamThere you are. I've been trying to reach you guys.
My phone drowned.
(Adam takes the phone and sniffs it)
AdamAhhh. Bean-O-Rama.
What are you working on?
Adam RossOh, just some trace that Sid found in the crease of our vic's mouth. Mac asked me to I.D. it.
Mind if I take a look?
Adam RossOh, please, knock yourself out.
[Looks at the slide] Are you kidding me?
Adam RossIt's krill. Pelagic, shrimp-like crustacean of the family Euphuasiid.
How did it get in our vic's mouth?
Adam RossI'm working on that. See, krill is one of the main ingredients used in salt water fish food.
There's an aquarium in the visitor's lounge at the hospital. Nice.
[He punches Adam in the chest]
(at the crime scene covered in snow)
Stop shivering like a girl, Adam. It's not even that cold out here.
Adam(teeth chattering) I'm from Phoenix. 85 degrees is considered freezing.
Cupcake.
[Finding out a pen was filled with blood instead of ink] Who writes in blood?
Adam RossLawyers, college loan administrators...
Adam Ross[Watching survelliance of the suspect] I can tell she's got a bully in her life. Check that out. Look how she flinched when a customer raised his hand.
Could be too much coffee.
Or a sign of abuse, and withdrawal like that is a classic symptom of PTSD.
[to Adam] How'd you know that?
Adam RossHuh, uh, uh, my, uh, my dad was a bully.
Adam, I can't afford to be caught off guard with information as critical as this.
AdamWhat?
DNA report on the mover's blanket. Why did I get this from Gerrard and not you?
AdamG-Gerrard was here when the results came in and he asked me to show it to him.
Mac, Adam was busy doing something for me.
There's a lot of data coming in to this lab, I have to be on top of it.
AdamWhat was I supposed to do.
You should've picked up the phone, called me right away.
Anyone in this lab would have done the same thing. Gerrard's the Deputy Inspector.
I don't give a damn what his title is. When I'm working a case, information like this comes to me as soon as you get it.
Adam Ross(answering phone) Adam Ross.
Hi. I'm calling from the office of unemployment.
Adam RossOh, Lindsay, hey.
Word is that Denny's is looking to hire some socially-awkward scientists.
Adam RossI'm...I'm halfway there already, okay?
It's a big case, Adam, it's the Statue of Liberty, it's all over the news. We've got lot to do. This is top priority and Mac is back in town. Get your sorry little ass to work.
AdamKendall! Hey..uh..wake up..uh, we're late for work. We gotta, we gotta get up, we're late for work.
(waking to see they are both in their underwear) Did we?...We didn't...?
AdamOh! No, no, no. I mean, I...uh..I wish it was yes, yes, yes but sadly, no.
(rolling over) Okay. Hmmm, ten more minutes.
Adam RossNo, no, no. No more minutes. Okay, come on, let's go. Up, up. Yes, let's go. Ooh. (pulling her from the couch) Must fight crime.
Adam(walks into the room to see Danny smiling) What are you so happy about?
I figured out what killed my groom.
AdamWas it the mother-in-law?
Hahaha, no! It was a missing wedding gift.
That's the Riverton building. That was my first crime scene.
Adam RossNo way.
This way my first New York apartment. This to scale?
Adam RossUh, y-yeah. As-as far as I can tell.
This high-rise should be much taller in relation to the Chrysler Building.
Adam RossHow could you possibly know that?
I got engaged on that roof. This puzzle's about my life.
[Adam is listening to music and dancing whilst doing a test, he turns around and sees Mac watching him.]
AdamOh, hey.
That was a nice move, what is this, Dancing with the Scientist?
