The Closer · Season 4
If I hear one more mention of weddings or chapels, I swear I am going to kill someone.
They're just excited. That's all.
No, no, no. You don't understand my daddy. When he wants something he will not stop until he gets it. Trust me on this.
So it runs in the family then.
Ha. Ha.
Rachel was murdered trying to help someone else?
Yes, she was. And now, to finish up here, on behalf of the entire LAPD, allow me to say how sorry I am that you lied to us so much and that you knocked your wife around to such an extent that we considered you a suspect in her murder.
That's your apology?
[nods] Mm-hmm.
You people have no idea what I'm going through, do you. Excuse me. [exits Pope's office]
I'd still like to arrest him.
Odds are, one day you will.
Bless me father, for I have sinned.
How long has it been since your last confession?
Well, I almost got one last night.
This is ridiculous. You all had no right to haul me off of that crime scene like a sack of potatoes!
(exasperated) Look, Chief, you get upset with us when we break the rules, you get upset with us when we follow the rules. Now, if you wanna beef us for getting you out of the middle of a bomb scene, be my guest!
Lieutenant, what just happened?
The explosives on Mellman were unstable so they had to be BIP'd.
Wha...?
BIP... Blown in place.
So where's my victim?
My guess is he's probably all over the ceiling.
You keep on reducing this to some miniscule high school shooting, but it's SO much more than that! I'm talking about setting the record; killing the most people ever! It's about inspiring others. Columbine was a great idea, they just didn't execute it right. We will. And people will remember us as they line up to die.
I hope we find a proper place for y'all to get married before we have to get on that ship. Brenda Leigh always lets things slide till the very last minute. I wish she'd take more of an interest in all this.
Oh, she's very interested, Willie Rae. For example, look at how hard she's been searching for the right cake.
[camera pans down to eight cake samples]
If that girl had her way, she'd ask the minister to stop by a crime scene, then serve Ho-Hos out of her purse.
Two patrol officers from the Hollywood division wrote up a suicide last Sunday. Morales calls back from the morgue, says the guy was murdered.
Hollywood Homicide detectives didn't follow up?
Did you not hear the words "suicide" and "Sunday"?
You guys may want to put down your little wedding cake samples before I show you my presentation. Pretty graphic.
No, we're fine, doc. In fact, this is a really good test to see which one of these the Chief might choose for her reception.
Yeah, if you still like it while you're watching somebody who blew their brains out, this is the cake for your wedding.
[to Brenda, re: her angry father]In the five seconds I have to prepare you for what you're about to face, my suggestion is: don't argue, don't defend, just say "I'm sorry."
Cause of death?
Due to circumstances beyond my control, you'll have to tell me.
Maybe he choked to death on four triple burgers, extra cheese, six orders of fries and a Diet Coke.
This receipt was made on Friday night. Oceanside?
That's just north of San Diego. Looks like he paid with a credit card.
Sergeant Gabriel, you thinking what I'm thinking?
"Why the Diet Coke"?
We cut back where we can.
Mr. Stroh, I'm just curious. You defended Chris from molesting a 13 year old family member and you got the charges dismissed. And now, it looks like the same guy has murdered someone. How do you feel about that?
Well, first of all, doesn't look like Chris murdered this young lady to me. And if you're asking about his previous case, obviously the state couldn't prove its allegations. So if you have a problem with the legal system...
No, no, no...I don't think the sergeant was talking about specifics, but about how you as a human being justify defending child molesters.
All right. Most criminals, they do their time, and when they get out of prison, they go about their lives anonymously. Sex offenders are registered until the day they die. They're branded, like animals. Now, if the state is going to punish them more harshly than other criminals, then it also assumes a special burden to prove their continuing threat to society. My job: to make sure the state demonstrates that threat. So, Sergeant, if your... charmingly phrased accusation really does have something to do with how defending suspected sex offenders makes me feel, the answer is: It gives purpose to my life.
Didn't I tell you, honey? Claire's decided she's a psychic.
Oh, really? Oh. I did not know that.
Actually, it's not a decision, it's a gift. I've had it since I was a child. [to Fritz] Remember that time I saved your life? I warned you not to step out of the treehouse?
Yeah, because you pulled the ladder away.
Look, I don't wanna fight! Anyway, I prefer the word "intuitionist". People hear the word psychic and they think "wack job"!
Claire may be a bit touched, but she seems perfectly harmless. She might enjoy coming to my work and seeing...
What? No! No, no, no, no! I wouldn't let her anywhere near a murder case! Do you remember when the FBI sent 30 agents to drain that lake in Virginia looking for anthrax? That was her!!
What makes a good marriage? I think patience.
Patience. And separate bathrooms.
Up until now, you guys had avoided all the big mistakes people make in a relationship: getting married, buying a house and having kids. I look at this wedding today as a big red flag.
Hi. I just wanted to say that I have really enjoyed working with both of you, truly. And this really couldn't be happening to two nicer people. Congratulations, you guys.
Hey, you guys. Enjoy Italy. You've earned it. And make sure you "sleep in" a lot your first week out. Heh heh heh.
I don't know much about successful relationships, but you seem to have one. And I'm happy to have been a part of your lives.
I just wanted to say that its really nice to have been invited to the reception, and I hope this little tribute is something you will like, and keep and remember.
My wife died six years ago and I've never taken off her ring. Always love each other. Always.
Well, I'm...happy for you. Both. May each year bring you closer together.
So...just say something nice?
That's what I did.
Okay, let me think...
