Well, hello William.
Oh, it's Bill. It's just plain Bill.
Alright, just plain Bill. I'm just plain Brenda, LAPD.
“Fatal Retraction” · Season 1, Episode 12
In this episode: Brenda Leigh Johnson (18), Russell Taylor (6), David Gabriel (4), Fritz Howard (4), Andy Flynn (4), Medical Examiner (4), Croelick (4), Lt. Provenza (2)
How'd you get my address?
Why, haven't you heard, I'm a criminal? But don't worry; as it turns out, you're not my type. Although I admit to liking a fiery woman, you're a little on the bossy side.
Do us a favor. Send this girl to the crematorium as a Jane Doe. Keep Croelick in prison. Don't damage the reputation of our department to let the killer go free.
Here is the favor I will do for you: I will forget you said that.
[Brenda grabs a file from Fritz while they're kissing]
Is this my Jane Doe?
So much for foreplay.
Well, that one's gonna cost her.
You want to gloat to someone you're close to? Grab a mirror, Captain. I'm applying for permanent transfer to her squad.
You have the right to remain silent! Why don't you use it?!
All I need from you is an expert to go over these dental records, match them with these teeth, and tell me which missing person she was.
Ok. I'll bite.
Oh, man. A thousand bucks says I'm gonna be wearing this bullshit.
What do we call this...Jane Doe?
The body formerly known as Lisa Barnes.
I promise this is the absolutely last time that Lisa will die.
Okay. Maybe this Samantha Jones lifted Bill Croelick's stainless steel lighter - with his fingerprints on it, made a copy of Lisa Barnes' driver's licence, stole a car, pushed it off a cliff, cutting her hands and feet off as she jumped into the falling car and set herself on fire. Maybe she trained for her suicide with Cirque du Soleil.
FOForensic odontologist
I wasn't asked to confirm the identity of the victim, just to confirm that the body was that of Lisa Barnes.
Oh, so you had an excuse to be sloppy.
[to Sgt. Gabriel on the phone] I found Croelick. He's on my front porch. Be nice if we had some company.
[about Brenda] The FBI hates her. The DA's hate her. The forensics specialists hate her. Everyone wants Croelick back in jail. But no one's gonna help her get him there.
BMr. Barnes
I have Lisa's death certificate [dated three years earlier]!
So do I. Only mine's a litle more recent.
