Our vic is Miranda Bauer, 23, Columbia graduate student, [CELL PHONE RINGS] also a part-time receptionist at a financial investment firm. Her cell’s been ringing non-stop.
MAC TAYLOR
She’s all dressed up. Somebody’s calling, wondering where she is.
DETECTIVE DON FLACK
I don’t have the heart to answer it and tell whoever it is the bad news that she’s not gonna make it.
STELLA BONASERA
There’s several lacerations and [ZOOM INTO ECS OF CUT HAND] pieces of glass in the palms of her hands. She tried to get up.
MAC TAYLOR
Means she was alive when the frame fell and busted her collar bone.
[ZOOM INTO ECS OF CUT COLLAR BONE]
STELLA BONASERA
I imagine she tried to break the fall. This sharp edge shattered the glass and she went right through the window.
DETECTIVE DON FLACK
I’m coming up short on any witnesses. A couple of people heard the crash but nobody saw what happened. You two finding anything that says this is murder?
STELLA BONASERA
No defensive wounds. No evidence of a struggle. No indication that she was pushed. Looks like Miranda Bauer simply stumbled out of her high-heeled shoes.

MAC TAYLOR
How many people lived in this apartment?
STELLA BONASERA
Uh, just one, I think. A Sean. I, I don’t know his last time. I met him in the elevator and then I think I saw him again twice after that.
DETECTIVE DON FLACK
According to the building’s tenant manifest, his last name’s Nolan. Lives alone. We’re running the name with the DMV. Maybe he has a car, we can see what’s inside and complete his story. Nothing left in here gives us any help. [CELL PHONE RINGS] Excuse me. [INTO CELL PHONE] Yeah.
[HAWKES LOOKS AT GOLDFISH SWIMMING IN THEIR BOWL]
MAC TAYLOR
He was so close to the door. I can’t imagine why he couldn’t get out. Flack said the fire started in this apartment.
LINDSAY MONROE
Everything’s pretty badly burned. There’s evidence of heavy and low burns. Flashover. And most of the furniture looks like it was incinerated in seconds. And these burns on the hardware floor? They look like accelerant pour patterns.
[REENACTMENT]
[BACK TO SCENE]
STELLA BONASERA
You thinking Sean started the fire?
LINDSAY MONROE
But if he did, it doesn’t add up. He had plenty of time to make it out of the building.
MAC TAYLOR
Which is why I’m thinking someone else was here. Maybe they had an argument, it got physical. Sean Nolan goes down. The attacker starts a fire and escapes.
DR. SHELDON HAWKES
Okay, but the fire investigator said the door was bolted. We found the vic’s keys on the table. You can’t bolt the door from the outside without the keys.
LINDSAY MONROE
So maybe our somebody else didn’t use the door. The investigator said that this window was open.
DR. SHELDON HAWKES
That’s a long jump. Not impossible to survive, but somebody’s walking around with a broken tibia.
DETECTIVE DON FLACK
So our vic may be the fire starter. Sean Nolan was convicted and served time five years ago for arson.
STELLA BONASERA
Well, that might explain our malfunctioning sprinkler system. Maybe he tampered with it.
DETECTIVE DON FLACK
[TO MAC] I see doubt.
MAC TAYLOR
Doesn’t fit the profile, Flack. A guy starts a fire and then [MUSIC IN] sticks around? Most arsonists like to watch their work from across the street, down the block, on the news.
STELLA BONASERA
Maybe this was Sean’s idea of the perfect suicide.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES
He didn’t die of smoke inhalation?
DR. SID HAMMERBACK
No, because your victim didn’t die in the fire. The trachea was free of any soot deposits.
DR. SHELDON HAWKES
That means he wasn’t breathing, which means he definitely died before the fire.
DR. SID HAMMERBACK
And I ran DNA to confirm that this was our arsonist, no match in our database.
LINDSAY MONROE
Well he’d have to be in there. He’s a convicted felon.
DR. SID HAMMERBACK
Yes. But, there’s a very good explanation. Take a look at the Fast Scan.

Flack’s checking Missing Persons for a lead on the victim’s identity. He’s also got an alarm out on NYSPIN and a wanted card out on Sean Nolan.
MAC TAYLOR
Okay. So we’re back to the evidence we collected from the scene. Sid’s preliminary autopsy report suggests our victim’s age is somewhere between 30 and 40. I wouldn’t guess she died of natural causes, so our focus shifts to foul play.
DANNY MESSER
How’re you doin’? What’d I miss?
MAC TAYLOR
Perfect timing. There’s a lot of work to do. Lindsay, catch Danny up. Priority is the identity of our female victim. I wanna know who she is and what’s her connection to our arsonist, Sean Nolan. May help us find him. That fire may have been a cover-up for murder.

Is this real? You think someone’s in trouble?
STELLA BONASERA
I don’t know, Adam. You know, I found these in my apartment after the fire. Now, the edges are singed and the paper’s burned, so clearly they were in the apartment before the fire started.
ADAM ROSS
And you don’t recognize the writing.
STELLA BONASERA
No.
ADAM ROSS
Maybe it’s from a friend?
STELLA BONASERA
Oh, and this friend wrote me a note that said, “Help me?”
ADAM ROSS
Uh, maybe you’re a bad cook.
STELLA BONASERA
[LAUGHS]
ADAM ROSS
[LAUGHS] Uh, I’m, I’m just sayin’.
STELLA BONASERA
Uh, actually, um, since I shot my boyfriend two years ago, I don’t exactly have people have over.
ADAM ROSS
Um, well maybe it’s from like a, a maid, building maintenance, gas company, doorman?
STELLA BONASERA
No, it doesn’t make any sense. I mean, I, I found these on the floor behind a piece of furniture. If it hadn’t fallen apart when I moved it, I would have never seen them. If these notes were intended for me, then why were they hidden?
ADAM ROSS
“Please help me.” “Help find my na--.” My name maybe?
STELLA BONASERA
Why don’t you get a chemical fingerprint for ink. See if you can find a pen manufacturer. Oh, and age the ink solvent. Maybe that’ll tell me how long ago these were written.

What do you see?
DANNY MESSER
Goldfish.
DR. SHELDON HAWKES
They were in Sean Nolan’s apartment and these two little guys are gonna help us establish our vic’s time of death. If goldfish are left in the dark for an extended period of time, their color starts to fade.
[REENACTMENT]
[CLOSE ON GOLDFISH]
DR. SHELDON HAWKES (V.O.) (CONTINUED)
They’re made up of cell’s called chromatophores that produce pigments which reflect light and give coloration.
[BACK TO SCENE]
DR. SHELDON HAWKES (CONTINUED)
These pigments are stimulated by sunlight much the way humans tan in the sun. Pale pink is the result of roughly three to five days of darkness, possibly our vic’s time of death.
DANNY MESSER
So you’re saying our vic was dead in that apartment at least two days prior to the fire and that Sean Nolan wasn’t there either?
DR. SHELDON HAWKES
The fish are faded. Means no lights were turned on, the blinds were closed. Basically no signs of life. We normally determine time of death based on lividity, but the fire compromised the body.
DANNY MESSER
So what are we thinking her? Our arsonist killed our vic, panics, takes off for a few days, but knowing he has a dead body in his apartment [HAWKES’ PAGER BEEPS] comes back and sets a fire?
DR. SHELDON HAWKES
It’s murder. It doesn’t have to make sense. [INTO CELL PHONE] Hawkes. Okay. Okay. Let us know. [TO DANNY] That’s Flack. He’s got our arsonist, Sean Nolan, in custody.
DANNY MESSER
Boom.
DETECTIVE DON FLACK (V.O.)
A woman--
INT. NYPD - INTERROGATION ROOM - DAY
DETECTIVE DON FLACK (CONTINUED)
--burned to death, Sean.
SEAN NOLAN
Her, her name is Marla Bronson. She was taking care of my fish.
DETECTIVE DON FLACK
And killing her is your way of saying thanks?
SEAN NOLAN
I’ll say it again. I have been in Boston for the past week attending an insurance convention.
DETECTIVE DON FLACK
Takes a second to strike a match. And less than an hour to get back to Boston by plane. Is that the story? Did I figure it out? You look a little nervous.
SEAN NOLAN
Y-You just told me that someone I cared about is dead. And you’re accusing me of taking her life, which I did not do, and I did not burn down my own home.
DETECTIVE DON FLACK
This wasn’t an amateur job, Sean. Somebody definitely knew what he was doing. What kind of accelerant did you use? Same as the last fire? Lighter fluid? Your neighbors don’t have anywhere to live, Sean. Some of ‘em lost everything they own. Did you watch from across the street? Did the fire excite you? Maybe you were down the block in the high-rise watching the plumes of black smoke.
SEAN NOLAN
I made a mistake in my past. And I served my time. I did not kill Marla and I did not start that fire and I am done talking to you.
DETECTIVE DON FLACK
One of your neighbors, someone I care a lot about, she no longer has a place to live. And she risked her life pulling a boy out of that building. [MUSIC IN] And when I prove you did this, you will answer to me.
INT. M.E.’S OFFICE - AUTOPSY ROOM - DAY
MUSIC OUT
DR. SID HAMMERBACK
Marla Bronson’s death is the result of a car accident. I noticed small hairline fractures on both her right and left thumbs, roughly in the same place.
DR. SHELDON HAWKES
Fractures commonly caused by the release of an airbag.
DR. SID HAMMERBACK
Right. The driver holds onto the steering wheel, airbag releases and the impact fractures the proximal phalanx of both hands.
DR. SHELDON HAWKES
But, Sid, nobody dies from broken thumbs.
DR. SID HAMMERBACK
Official C.O.D. is massive internal hemorrhaging. This is Marla’s ruptured spleen and damage to her body by the fire delayed my discovery. Now, this, uh, tear in the tissue suggests that the impact was pretty significant. Despite that, her death wasn’t immediate.
DR. SHELDON HAWKES
I guess someone can suffer a ruptured spleen and walk around for a couple days and not even know it.
DR. SID HAMMERBACK
Which would explain why she wasn’t in the hospital.
DR. SHELDON HAWKES
So Marla had a car accident.
[REENACTMENT]
MUSIC IN
DR. SHELDON HAWKES (V.O.) (CONTINUED)
Days later she collapsed because she was hemorrhaging. She was dead on the ground in Nolan’s apartment when the fire started.
MUSIC OUT
[BACK TO SCENE]
DR. SHELDON HAWKES (CONTINUED)
And if we go with my goldfish theory, time of death was roughly three days ago.
DR. SID HAMMERBACK
With that said, we can confidently draw the conclusion that not only didn’t she die in the fire, but this is not a homicide.
DR. SHELDON HAWKES
But, Sid, if Sean Nolan didn’t start the fire to cover up a murder, what are we looking at here?
INT. NEW YORK CRIME LAB - LAYOUT ROOM - DAY
LINDSAY MONROE
The fire didn’t start in Sean Nolan’s apartment.
STELLA BONASERA
But there were accelerant pour patterns, a flashover. And he’s a suspect who’s been convicted of arson.
MAC TAYLOR
You’re gonna have to have a pretty good defense to counter that.
LINDSAY MONROE
Exhibit A.
[FLASHBACK]
LINDSAY MONROE (V.O.) (CONTINUED)
I took a sample of the floor to determine the exact type of accelerant used.
[BACK TO SCENE]
LINDSAY MONROE (CONTINUED)
I found traces of gasoline. Now, I know there’s no better fuel to start a fire, right? I also found--
[FLASHBACK]
LINDSAY MONROE (V.O.) (CONTINUED)
--varnish on the wood. So I took a surface sample.
[BACK TO SCENE]
LINDSAY MONROE (CONTINUED)
No gasoline.
STELLA BONASERA
So the accelerant was beneath the varnish.
MAC TAYLOR
Or, mixed in. Sometimes gas is used as a thinner for paints and varnishes and, if burned, can be mistaken for pour patterns.
LINDSAY MONROE
And suddenly we have no evidence of accelerant.
STELLA BONASERA
What about the flashover and the evidence of heavy and low burns?
LINDSAY MONROE
Exhibit B. Most of the furniture in Sean Nolan’s apartment was comprised of polyurethane foam.
STELLA BONASERA
Which is highly flammable, goes up in seconds. Turned the apartment into an incinerator.
LINDSAY MONROE
And explains the flashover.
[REENACTMENT]
[BACK TO SCENE]
MAC TAYLOR
So, if the fire didn’t start in Sean Nolan’s apartment, where’d it start?
LINDSAY MONROE
I don’t know.
MAC TAYLOR
Well, let’s find out.
INT. NEW YORK CRIME LAB - A/V LAB - DAY
MAC TAYLOR
Nolan’s apartment sustained the most damage as well as the apartment on the upper floor. The adjacent apartment here is vacant.
STELLA BONASERA
That’s Bonnie Dillard’s apartment and mine. And they both sustained significant damage.
MAC TAYLOR
Doesn’t give us a lot to work with. And we still don’t have a motive.
LINDSAY MONROE
So, what if a fire started in the vacant apartment?
MAC TAYLOR
Okay. Let’s try to prove that.
[USING A MODEL OF THE APARTMENTS, MAC SETS FIRE TO THE VACANT APARTMENT, CLOSES THE MODEL WITH A CLEAR PLASTIC COVER]
MAC TAYLOR
The exterior wall is brick. That slows the fire. And there’s no furniture or flammables in this room to fuel the blaze.
LINDSAY MONROE
Right. But wouldn’t that explain why the fire traveled left and right?
MAC TAYLOR
Something’s got to pull it in some direction, Lindsay. The vacant apartment was the least damaged. It’s as if the flames just skipped right over it. You eliminated Sean Nolan’s apartment. Stella didn’t start the blaze. [MUSIC IN] That leaves one option.
STELLA BONASERA
Bonnie Dillard’s apartment.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES
Lindsay, you seeing this?
DANNY MESSER
You happen to have a picture of Jason or Bonnie?
STELLA BONASERA
I didn’t know them that well. You know, maybe I could give a description to a sketch artist.
LINDSAY MONROE
Are you sure this is right?
DR. SHELDON HAWKES
Ran it twice. Got the same result.
LINDSAY MONROE
Doesn’t make sense that this print would match the partial we found on the lighter. It’s completely unrelated.
STELLA BONASERA
Uh, you guys wanna let us in on this?
LINDSAY MONROE
So far, none of the prints we’ve lifted off the Dillard’s personal items have been a match to those we found on the lighter.
STELLA BONASERA
So it wasn’t Bonnie Dillard or her son that started the fire.
DANNY MESSER
So we’re back to our arsonist, Sean Nolan?
DR. SHELDON HAWKES
No. Partials on the lighter are small. They belong to a child. To Bailey O’Dell.
DANNY MESSER
The little girl who’s been missing?
[MUSIC IN] How’s that possible?
DR. SHELDON HAWKES
Her parents registered her thumb print on our Safe Child Database. There’s no question it’s a match.

I moved in two years ago. I didn’t make an effort to get to know anyone. Hallway relationships.
MAC TAYLOR
Bonnie ever talk about her family?
STELLA BONASERA
She never mentioned a sister until last night, and clearly, that was a lie. To tell you the truth, I don’t even know if Bonnie Dillard’s her real name.

STELLA BONASERA
Right here. There we go. Let’s try this.
INT. NEW YORK CRIME LAB - BULLPEN - DAY
DANNY MESSER
Blonde woman, uh, five-eight, uh, she has a son. He’s 11 years old. His name is Jason.
LINDSAY MONROE
Jason Dillard. Well, let me make it simpler. Is there any male child 11 years old who’s absent from school today? We have a sketch that we can fax over.
DANNY MESSER
N-No, I get it. Thank you.
INT. NEW YORK CRIME LAB - A/V LAB - DAY
STELLA BONASERA
There. That’s her van coming out of the building’s garage. That’s definitely Bonnie.
DR. SHELDON HAWKES
Let’s see if we can get the plate. We got it. We’ll set up an Amber Alert.
STELLA BONASERA
Thanks, Hawkes.

LINDSAY MONROE
Thank you.
DANNY MESSER
I’m gonna get some coffee. You want some coffee?
LINDSAY MONROE
No. Thanks.
DANNY MESSER
How long are you gonna stay mad at me, Linds?
LINDSAY MONROE
Oh, is that what this is? Me mad at you?
DANNY MESSER
Is this still about missing your birthday? Look, I didn’t want to go to lunch yesterday. Why do you gotta make such a big deal out of it?
LINDSAY MONROE
Do me a favor, Danny. Don’t reduce me to some shallow, clingy girlfriend that’s starting to suffocate you, okay? That’s not what this is about. Ever since Rueben Sandoval died, y--. I feel like I’ve lost my best friend. And don’t mistake this for jealousy, okay? I know what it’s like to lose someone you care about, to see them one day and then not see them the next, and to know you’re never gonna see them again. I would never expect you not to grieve. But, clearly, you know, you’ve just decided to do it all on your own. Okay. I get it. My mistake for thinking that you might need somebody to lean on. And, you know, for the record, I’m not mad at you. I’m mad at myself. Because I’ve fallen in love with you and I have to figure out how to let that go.
INT. NEW YORK CRIME LAB - CORRIDOR - DAY
STELLA BONASERA
We found Bonnie’s van. It appears to have been abandoned. Now, Flack posted unis at the scene just in case she comes back. I sent a crew to process it. Hopefully, they’ll find something that’ll lead us back to Bailey O’Dell.
MAC TAYLOR
What about Jason Dillard? Where is he?
STELLA BONASERA
There was a tenant in the building who actually knew what school he went to. He hasn’t been there in over a week.
MAC TAYLOR
Even before the fire then.
STELLA BONASERA
I think Bonnie has him with her. I mean, he’s already a troubled kid. I can’t imagine what he’s thinking now.
MAC TAYLOR
He’s troubled in what way?
STELLA BONASERA
When I first moved into my apartment, he made a hole in the grout of an adjacent brick wall.
MUSIC IN
[FLASHBACK]
STELLA BONASERA
What the--? Hey. Where is it, Jason?
JASON DILLARD
I don’t know.
STELLA BONASERA (V.O.)
Boy stuff, right? I mean, you could see right through to my bedroom.
MUSIC OUT
[BACK TO SCENE]
STELLA BONASERA (CONTINUED)
He’s just 11 years old. So much of this case doesn’t make any sense. How does the fire play into all of this and why does a six-year-old little girl even know how to use a lighter? What?
MAC TAYLOR
For the last two days I’ve been trying to figure out how to gingerly tell you to sit this one out. Go deal with the loss of your home, take care of yourself. But I realize now what a total waste of my breath it would have been.
DR. SHELDON HAWKES
Hey guys. Bonnie Dillard called her insurance company [MUSIC IN] about issuing a check for the damage to her apartment.
STELLA BONASERA
She give an address?
DR. SHELDON HAWKES
She requested they call her when the check was ready and she’d pick it up.
STELLA BONASERA
It’s an ongoing arson investigation. They won’t process claims for at least another two weeks.
MAC TAYLOR
Or maybe, with a little encouragement from us, they can do it sooner.
DR. SHELDON HAWKES
Hmm, my man’s getting sneaky.
MAC TAYLOR
Have the insurance company call Bonnie Dillard, tell her to pick her check up in an hour. It’s always the greed that gets ‘em.
EXT. NEW YORK CITY STREETS - DAY
STELLA BONASERA
Danny, there she is. Print green shirt, brown pants, sunglasses, heading towards the insurance building. Now, you approach her, I’ll cut her off.
DANNY MESSER
Bonnie, hey, how’re you doin’?
BONNIE DILLARD
Do I know you?
DANNY MESSER
Uh, no. Not yet.

MUSIC OUT
STELLA BONASERA
Where is she, Bonnie? Where’s Bailey O’Dell? Come on, Bonnie. You abandoned your own son in that fire because you knew you had to hide that little girl before the police arrived. Her face was all over the news. You knew we’d know who she was. Where is she?
BONNIE DILLARD
I believe I have the right to remain silent.
DANNY MESSER
Come on.
EXT. NYPD - DAY
DETECTIVE DON FLACK (V.O.)
Where are you keeping--
INT. NYPD - INTERROGATION ROOM/VIEWING ROOM - DAY
DETECTIVE DON FLACK (CONTINUED)
--Bailey O’Dell?
BONNIE DILLARD
You know, I don’t understand this. My home just burned down. My son was almost killed in the fire and my niece is sick from the smoke.
DETECTIVE DON FLACK
She’s not your niece, Bonnie. You took this little girl from her family and they want her back.
BONNIE DILLARD
Well, they can’t have her back.
MUSIC IN
DETECTIVE DON FLACK
Why not?
BONNIE DILLARD
Because she’s much happier where she is now.
DETECTIVE DON FLACK
And where is that, Bonnie?
BONNIE DILLARD
Some place beautiful and peaceful. Better than with them. They’re divorced, you know. Her mother’s a single parent. She works part-time at my floral shop. Brings the kid in when she can’t get a babysitter. [CHUCKLES] It was so easy to take her. ‘Cause she knew me already. When I was pregnant, they told me I shouldn’t be a single mother. They said a child should have two parents.
DETECTIVE DON FLACK
When you were pregnant with Jason?
BONNIE DILLARD
No, this was before Jason.
DETECTIVE DON FLACK
And you gave the baby up for adoption?
BONNIE DILLARD
They took her from me.
DETECTIVE DON FLACK
Bonnie. Don’t take this little girl from her family.
BONNIE DILLARD
It’s done. They’re not getting her back.
DETECTIVE DON FLACK
Just tell me where she is. Is Jason with her?
BONNIE DILLARD
Uh, shouldn’t I have a lawyer? I mean, I’m not sure I should say anything more.
MAC TAYLOR
Stella? Is Bonnie Dillard capable of murder?
STELLA BONASERA
If you’d asked me a week ago if I thought she could abduct a child I’d have said no.
MAC TAYLOR
And now?
STELLA BONASERA
I think she’s capable of anything.
INT. NEW YORK CRIME LAB - TRACE LAB - DAY

LINDSAY MONROE
I think I might have a possible lead on where Bonnie Dillard is holding Bailey O’Dell. It’s just a lead though.
STELLA BONASERA
We’ll take whatever we can get.
LINDSAY MONROE
Sandplain gerardia.
[FLASHBACK]
LINDSAY MONROE (V.O.) (CONTINUED)
It’s a pollen grain that fell off Bonnie’s clothing.
MUSIC OUT
[BACK TO SCENE]
STELLA BONASERA
She’s a florist. It makes sense to find that kind of trace.
LINDSAY MONROE
Right. But this particular pollen comes from the only federally-protected endangered plant species in all of New York State. In fact, six of the twelve natural populations in the world are in Long Island.
DANNY MESSER
All right. So we go to Long Island.
LINDSAY MONROE
No, because I don’t think that’s where this pollen originated. I found traces of a chemical toxin. Now, the plants in Long Island, they’re not only endangered, they’re federally protected. There’s no way they would let a toxin interfere with the growth of the plant.
STELLA BONASERA
So it means this plant is growing somewhere else in New York.
LINDSAY MONROE
Illegally.
DANNY MESSER
So it’s illegal to grow this plant.
LINDSAY MONROE
Well, somebody had to steal a protected plant to grow it outside of Long Island. They could be federally prosecuted, which is why I’m having trouble locating it. Anybody who would know anything isn’t talking. So, I made a few scientific educated assumptions. Now, wherever these plants are, they’re near a factory.
DANNY MESSER
That makes sense. The toxins are carried by the wind, deposited over the plants.
LINDSAY MONROE
I’ve cross-referenced all the factories emitting that same toxin with any vacant lots, empty buildings, greenhouses in the city. I can’t promise anything, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
DANNY MESSER
What do you wanna do?
STELLA BONASERA
Well, let’s hope Lindsay gets us something. In the meantime, we go with the only thing we’ve got. Bonnie Dillard in custody. We gotta get her to tell us where she’s holding that little girl.
DANNY MESSER
Lindsay. I’m sorry. And we should, we should talk.
LINDSAY MONROE
We have a rooftop address. Get Stella.
INT. NEW YORK CRIME LAB/CORRIDOR - DAY
ADAM ROSS
Stella!
STELLA BONASERA
Got a lead on the little girl that was missing, Adam. Can I catch up with you later?
ADAM ROSS
No. No, look. Okay. You need to know this. I’m not playing around.
STELLA BONASERA
All right. You got 15 seconds.
ADAM ROSS
The notes you gave me were written approximately two years ago by an ordinary, everyday ink pen.
STELLA BONASERA
Oh, there better be more.
ADAM ROSS
I decided to look a little closer and I found traces of quartz, clay, limestone and gypsum. Brick mortar. The mortar acted as a developer of several latent prints that otherwise would have evaporated. Okay, so now I got a bunch of prints and what am I supposed to do, but I run ‘em through the database. Got no hits on any criminal activity, [MUSIC IN] but they were a match to the prints that Lindsay and Hawkes lifted from the items in Bonnie Dillard’s apartment.
STELLA BONASERA
Which items?
ADAM ROSS
Football, basketball, iPod. These prints belong to Jason Dillard. He wrote these notes, Stella. He wrote, “Help me.”
STELLA BONASERA
She took him, too.

[JASON NODS]
JASON DILLARD
She was scared and want a go home. I thought the fire would be a good idea because the police would come. I didn’t want it to burn anybody.
STELLA BONASERA
Of course you didn’t. No, Jason, you’re not going to jail. Is Jason your real name?
JASON DILLARD
No. Just pretend.
STELLA BONASERA
What’d your first mom call you?
JASON DILLARD
Austin Tanner.
STELLA BONASERA
I like that name.
JASON DILLARD/AUSTIN TANNER
Me, too.
STELLA BONASERA
You’re gonna be okay, Austin.
MAC TAYLOR
Austin will be a bit confused. He’s been told that you don’t want him. And he believes that woman who took him rescued him. She used words to gain his trust and love. He never ran away because she convinced him there was no place to run to. It’ll probably take awhile for him to show affection and he’ll wanna know why you never came to get him. Children believe their parents can do anything. So, saying you couldn’t find him or you tried everything just may not be enough. Just be patient, Miss Tanner.
MEGAN TANNER
I will. He’s coming home. [SOBS]
