[Danny, Lindsay, and Adam showing Mac their findings]

So is this thing a beauty or what?

Adam

Every single piece is accounted for following the specs and the burn pattern.

Great work.

We checked the area behind the cockpit right here, Mac and this is where we discovered our mystery generator was located.

We checked with the racing coalition, and it's called a V.I.C engine.

Velocity Injection Chamber. I've read about it. It's a nasty piece of work, but it's still experimental, not every team is using it.

That's why it wasn't in the specs. It isn't part of the formula yet.

Might be the future if hybrid engines though. It recycles wasted energy. (He explains how it works) Instant turbo-boost right at your fingertips. Press the button and...

Adam

Boom!

[Everyone looks at him]

Adam

(mumbles) Sorry, that was...that was your moment...I thought you were gonna...boom...nothing.

Adam Ross

I'd be more than happy to help you, you look a little lost.

AHAubrey Hunter

Oh no, I was told to wait right by the elevator. The lost look is me just taking this all in. I've never seen a crime lab before.

Adam Ross

You know, I could give you a tour, show you some epithelials under a microscope.

AHAubrey Hunter

I've seen plenty of epithelials, but thank you.

Adam Ross

Ah, Biologist?

AHAubrey Hunter

Doctor.

Adam Ross

Dermatologist.

AHAubrey Hunter

Emergency Room.

Adam Ross

Single?

AHAubrey Hunter

Cute.

Adam Ross

Well...

AHAubrey Hunter

[Looks beyond Adam] Mac.

Adam Ross

[flustered] Boss.

Hey Aubrey.

AHAubrey Hunter

Hi

Adam Ross

Got some work to. [Leaves, fast]

Adam Ross

I feel like I've forgotten everything, like I-I can't remember any of the details.

Well, that's not uncommon, when the brain experiences trauma. Sometimes it locks up. But not to worry, cause I always carry a spare set of keys.

Sass Dumonde (to Adam): Your eyes are kind. Are they telling the truth?

Adam Ross

I, uh... I hope so. Uh... I'm Adam. What's your name?

SDSass Dumonde

(in a French accent) Nice to meet you, Adam.

Adam Ross

(imitating her accent) A... Adam?

SDSass Dumonde

But if I told you my name, I'm afraid I'd have to kill you...(muffled screaming)

Adam Ross

What the hell? (witnesses Sass being killed)

Are you absolutely sure, Adam, it was murder? While I was at the FBI, we saw hundreds of fake snuff films and Internet hoaxes every year. Staged suicides, bogus kidnappings... it can be very convincing.

You're certain what you saw was real?

Adam Ross

(sighs) I saw a man in black walk up behind a beautiful woman and choke the life right out of her. I've never seen anyone get murdered before. Until tonight.

Adam, you all right?

Adam Ross

I've been better.

You want to talk about it?

Adam Ross

What's there to say? He strangled her, she died... end of transmission. I'm gonna wait in the car.

Jo Danville [to Adam]: You're being ridiculous.

Adam Ross

What?

You deal with death every day. This case is no different. Man up.

Adam Ross

Are you kidding me? Jo, I saw this girl alive. She's not just another dead body on the slab to me. Oh, no, did you just do that so I'd spill my guts? Oh, damn it!

Sorry, Adam. You can't keep your feelings bottled up. Contents may explode under pressure.

Jo Danville [to Adam]: I got a courtesy call from an old friend of mine at the FBI. Turns out the Feds have been investigating Dragga Financial for all sorts of shenanigans. In fact, they were kind enough to share their files with me, pretty much all of it. But they weren't too keen on seeing an NYPD computer digging around in their sandbox.

Adam Ross

Okay, that's great. But I know why you're here. I've heard about your rep. So what, are you gonna blow the whistle on me now, too?

You don't want to go there. Me leaving the Bureau to come here was about conviction and evidence and doing my job.

Adam Ross

Okay. I'm sorry. That w... that wasn't fair.

Adam Ross

I shared the final moments of Sass Dumonde's life. I, I... I heard her music. I... I saw her joy. I-I... maybe even fell in love a little. And then, three minutes later, it was... it was just over.

When you cross paths with people like that, it's hard not to stop in your tracks. But believe me when I tell you... none of what you're doing now will bring her back. It will only bring you down.

Adam Ross

What do I do now, though?

Go home. Go to bed. Come back in the morning ready to do what's right.

You got to be hurting a little bit today, huh, man?

Adam Ross

I got a, uh, you know, three-day suspension. It's pretty painful.

Ah, come on. Hacking after Mac told you not to? You're lucky he didn't suspend you from the flagpole out front.

Yeah, you go home, lick your wounds, uh, catch up on your soaps. You'll be fine.

Adam Ross

(to Owen Hicks; impersonating a polygraph examiner)I understand there's a question to the veracity of certain statements that you may or may not have made and or heard during your confinement in the fine institution known as Rikers Island. Is that correct?

OHOwen Hicks

I have no idea what the hell you just said, man.

Adam Ross

Are you playing games with me, son?

OHOwen Hicks

No, I'm not playing games...!

Adam Ross

Because any heretofore games will not be tolerated. Okay?

[As Jo and Danny witness Adam trying to get a confession out of Owen Hicks]

How long do you give him?

Well, if Adam remembers to plug the damn thing in, I don't think he gets past the first question.

First question? No way it gets that far.

[Back in the interrogation room]

Adam Ross

(to Owen Hicks as he gets him ready for the polygraph) This simply measures your blood pressure while the test is being administered. The information then relays to the pen thingy which will go haywire if you're full of... if you're being untruthful. And, based on the amount of sweat that's accumulated on your forehead... gross... is more than likely.

Adam Ross [to Hawkes]: Hey, what do you know about Fishzilla?

Sounds like a bad name for a monster movie.

Adam Ross

Close... it's the nickname of that weird little thing I found at the bottom of the mezcal bottle. Yeah, its real name is snakehead fish, all right, and it's illegal in all 50 States.

Then it couldn't have been that easy to get. How did it end up at our crime scene?

Adam Ross

Uh, I don't know, maybe it was left as a message. You know, these things are pretty vicious. They eat everything, even their own kind.

The message could be in the name. Snakehead... reference to the Mambas?

Adam Ross

I'm trying to track down where you can buy these things and then maybe I can figure out who purchased it.

How are you going to track it down if it's illegal and off the books?

Adam Ross

I... I know a guy that knows a guy that... knows a guy that knows another guy.

Adam Ross

Our fish smuggler remembers a tough-looking Puerto Rican guy buying from him.

He get a name?

Adam Ross

No, but he did specifically ask for three snakeheads.

So our killer asked for three, and only two have been used. That's pretty simple math.

Adam Ross

Which leaves one more victim yet to be determined.
