S1 E1Pilot
Um, most girls as pretty as you that come here, well, they're dead.
I'll be applying to medical school in the Fall & my advisor thought it might be a good idea.
It's called the crypt. It's where every unnatural death in the city comes to rest, waiting for an autopsy.
You said "unnatural death"?
Most of them. Because if there's even a hint that a death might be unnatural, murder, suicide, they come here.
So every crypt...
Has a body. That's right. Can you imagine the pain of losing someone before their time? Bottom line: most of these people shouldn't be dead yet.
You ever been to a morgue before?
Just once, when I was 12.
Well, that sounds like a story. Are you sure you're interested in wor... in working here? Because, I'll be honest, uh most girls as pretty as you that come here...well they're...they're dead.
Tru, why do I think you're not telling me the truth?
I know I shouldn't have looked through the files. I just have a few questions.
Oh what? About unsolved murders?
Exactly.
So let me get this straight. In the eight hours since you've started working here, you've decided to solve old cases? It's very ambitious. You know what I did today? I bought socks.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you okay? Is everything okay?
I'm having a day, Harrison. A day I would gladly explain to you if I thought I could but I can't, so I'm not even gonna try. And I heard another voice.
Wait. I don't understand. You mean like, you mean like Mom?
No, not her. Someone else.
Dead?
[Tru nods]
Oh, boy.
And that's not even the half of it. Believe it or not, that's the half that makes sense. I-I just don't get it. Me of all people, why do they come to me?
Maybe because they know that you'll listen.
Do you think I'm crazy?
I never thought you were crazy.
[at her mother's grave] It's been the strangest day. An understatement, I know. Did you have anything to do with it? I don't know. I only know... I wish this day had come 10 years earlier. Then maybe I could've saved you too. Instead I'll wait... for others. Some who have needed me longer than most. So maybe I couldn't save you. Maybe, just maybe... this is your way of saving me.
S1 E2Putting Out Fires
See, I knew we'd have that kiss before the day was over.
She's hiding under her bed, but send someone else please.
It's my job Tru, I'm as stubborn as you are.
I thought when you asked me for help, it was for you, now I know it was for Samantha... You saved her, everyone's calling you a hero. I don't wanna I sound selfish but I wanted both of you. You said your job was to help people, all they have to do is ask So is mine, so ask me, please. I'm not leaving till you ask, so please ask me Nick, please just ask.
You like being a firefighter?
Yeah, I like helping people.
You don't worry about how dangerous it is? You see it on the news all the time, a firefighter goes into the building...
I don't really think about it. Sometimes a job just chooses you, you know what I mean?
Yeah, I do.
Hey, you okay?
Yeah. What could be wrong?
Let's see, uh, last time we talked you told me that dead people were talking to you so, I thought I might be remiss if I didn't follow up.
Look, Tru, I know that the..the morgue is not exactly Party Central but don't worry, things will pick up.
Actually, that's what I'm afraid of.
