PProfessor...
I meant what I said Tru, now that you graduated we can go public.
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.
