PILOT
"That's bullshit!" says Dinozzo, "Don't listen to her, Rizzoli!"
"Tony! Don't be like that! Scientific studies have proven that yoga..." starts Maura, but Jane stops her before she starts her rambling.
"STOP, STOP, STOP, just STOP! D'you know what makes me relaxed? BASEBALL!" replies Jane.
"That's right, frog face!" jokes Dinozzo.
"I'll show you what a frog face is!" and Jane throws a pen, that instead of going on Dinozzo's direction, goes directly to Gibb's face, who has just entered the room. Fortunatly, he has good reflections.
"Oh, I'm so sorry Gibbs! It was meant for Dinozzo..." excuses Jane.
"well, if it was meant to Dinozzo..." and Gibbs throws the pen to Dinozzo's head.
"Hey, boss! That's not..." starts Dinozzo, but shuts up after seeing Gibbs look, "Shutting up boss!"
"Come on, we have a dead body in the Pacific Alliance Medical Center. Grab your gear!" orders Gibbs.
"I'll meet you at the crime scene!" says Maura.
When the team arrives at the hospital, Jane and Gibbs start looking to the crime scene. The room is a medical lab. The victim, a young woman with dark brown hair and pale skin with a gunshot wound to the head, is laid on the floor near a lab table with several lab tools on it. Apparently, someone had been working there during the night. But there is not any evidence of a fight. Everything is clean.
Meanwhile, Dinozzo had already talked to the nurse who found the body.
"Her name is Mina, she used to work in this lab at night, she's 25 years old, works here for about 5 months, engaged..." tells Dinozzo.
"Engaged to who?" asks Jane.
"Whom!" corrects Maura, who just gets to the crime scene with her medical material.
"I hate it when you correct me!" complains Jane.
"Well, I hate it when you don't speak correctly." replies Maura.
"She doesn't know who her fiancé is," continues Dinozzo, "but I'll keep talking with some hospital members until I found out more about her."
Maura gets closer to the dead body and starts examining it, while Jane looks for physical evidences in the room with the rest of the forensic team.
"Rizzoli" calls Gibbs, "this handkerchief was found near the dead body. I'm gonna send it to the lab to see if they can't get some prints. But look, it has the name Jonathan on it."
"Dinozzo said she was engaged, maybe his name is Jonathan" suggests Jane.
"Yes, that's what I want you to find out. I'll see what Dr. Isles has to say about her." states Gibbs.
"Alright, I'm gonna find Dinozzo and head back to the headquarters." says Jane as she leaves the crime scene.
Then Gibbs approaches Maura to see what she has found out, "Dr. Isles, do you have any information for me?"
"As it is perceptive, she was shot in the forehead. There is a high probability that the bullet is still inside. I'm gonna have to take her to the autopsy room to determine if it was post-mortem or the cause of death. Her body hasn't any exposed evidence of a fight, but like I said, I'm gonna have to examine her in the lab. Though I can establish that she has been dead for about 4 hours." tells Maura.
"Ok, Dr., I'm finished here. Are you ready to head back, Dr. Isles?"
"Yes, I am ready to go back." she turns to the lab technicians, "Take the body, please."
After Jane and Dinozzo, Gibbs and Maura return now to the LAPD Headquarters. While Maura starts examining the body, Gibbs goes check what Jane and Dinozzo discovered about Mina.
"So, what do you got?" asks Gibbs, entering the room.
Dinozzo starts explaining what he and Jane found out, "Mina's full name is Wilhelmina Murray, as the nurse said, she's 25 years old, her parents are both deceased, car accident. She's from England, but she lives here for 10 years."
"I researched about her engagement. The guy is Jonathan Harker. He's english too. He's the business associate of Grayson's Technology" says Jane.
"Grayson's Technology? The company of that famous entrepreneur Alexander Grayson?" asks Gibbs.
"Yes," goes Jane, "I'll check Maura now, maybe she can tell us more about Mina's death."
"Alright, Dinozzo and I are gonna talk to her fiancé. Let's go, Dinozzo!" states Gibbs, with a serious and impatient expression.
"On your six, boss! See you later, Rizzolator!" mocks Dinozzo, pointing the fingers from his both hands to Jane, as if he was shooting her.
"So, what's up Maur?"
"Hey, I was about to call you." says Maura, "I have already determined that she was actually killed by the headshot. Here is the bullet." and Maura gives Jane the sample bottle with the buttet in it.
"Ok, thank you. I'll send it to ballistics." replies Jane, "D'you have anything else about her?"
"Not much, she was a very healthy woman. She doesn't exhibit any injury. There are no evidences of a physical confrontation... But I can say, based on bullet cavity measures and trajectory, that the killer is left-handed and his height is between 180 and 190 cm." tells Maura.
"In english..." jokes Jane.
"Between 5 feet and 9 inches and 6 feet and 2 inches" explains Maura.
"Ok, thank you so much! What about that handkerchief that Gibbs sent for analysis? D'you have anything about it?" replies Jane.
"No," answers Maura, "I'm afraid it's gonna take a few hours for that, but I'll call you when I have the results."
"Alright, it was found near the victim's body, so my guess is either it belongs to the victim, since her fiancé's name is Jonathan, or the killer dropped it..." continues Jane.
"Well, over centuries, to possess a handkerchief has always been linked to a meaningful reason. For example, during the middle ages a knight would tie a lady's handkerchief to the back of his helmet as a good luck talisman. Also in Persia..." explains Maura, who is interrupted by Jane's eye rolling, "Listen, this is very interesting! In Persia, handkerchiefs were related to nobility. Many wealth men nowadays still give women a handkerchief as a symbol of their nobleness."
"I don't see anything «noble» about giving a woman something «noble» and then kill her..." says Jane, with an disinterested voice and face.
"You're assuming that handkerchief belongs to her!" reacts Maura, "Also in the Shakespeare's play «Othello»..."
"NO, WAIT! Don't spoil it, I'm gonna start reading it next weekend!" exclaims Jane.
"Oh really?! You totally should do that! You're gonna love it! It's a very interesting story about..." replies Maura, perplexed by knowing that Jane was actually going to read a book.
"No, stop. Not really, I was just trying to shut you up." states Jane, apathetically.
"Well, as I was saying, " continues Maura, ignoring Jane's indifference, "in the Shakespeare's play «Othello», a misunderstanding over a handkerchief caused Othello to kill his wife and then himself." says Maura.
"Again, not «noble»." replies Jane.
"DO you know that it used to be used as well to..." Maura tries to tell Jane another fact about handkerchiefs, but Jane immediately cuts off her.
"ALRIGHT ENOUGH WITH THE HISTORY LESSON!"
"Imagine how romantic it would be if your boyfriend gave you a handkerchief?" fantasizes Maura while working on the body, ignoring Jane's disinterest.
"What? No! There's no romance in that. wHat if he never gave her his handkerchief and killed her and that thing fell from his pocket? That makes more sense." says Jane.
"Well, yes it does but what if it was actually given to Mina. It could express that their relationship was special." replies Maura.
"Gibbs and Tony are on their way to talk to him so we'll know it soon." pauses Jane, "D'you really think that giving someone a handkerchief with his name on it is romantic?" asks Jane while sitting on the autopsy table in front of Maura.
"It's not the most romantic thing, but I consider it a wonderful gesture." states Maura.
"Well, like I said I don't think it is romantic. It's weird , it's like I'm there for you even when you release all your snot but do it on this piece of cotton instead." jokes Jane, and Maura laughs.
"Jane, couples are supposed to wipe their mucus and tears and be there for each other." says Maura.
"Yeah but you don't need a handkerchief for that, you can do it on my shoulder. Don't you like my shoulder? If you don't I can always give you a handkerchief with my name on it!" jokes Jane, as she walks by the door, finishing with a provocative eye blink.
"No thank you, I like your shoulder very much, thank you." laughs Maura, before returning to her work.
Gibbs and Dinozzo arrive at Grayson's Technology and go to the receptionist desk.
"Detective Gibbs," says Dinozzo, pointing to Gibbs, "Detective Dinozzo," points to himself, "LAPD," shows the badge, "We want to speak with Mr. Harker."
"I'm sorry, but Mr. Harker is on vacation." says the receptionist.
"When will he be back?" asks Gibbs.
"I'm sorry, I don't know..." answers the receptionist.
"And where did he go?" adds Gibbs.
"No, I'm sorry, I don't know that either..." states the receptionist.
"What does she knows?" mumbles Tony.
"Does anyone know?" Gibbs tries again.
"Maybe Mr. Grayson knows. I'm going to call him." replies the receptionist, grabbing the telephone on her desk, "Mr. Grayson, two detectives are here. They would like to speak to you... Ok, thank you. He'll be here in a moment."
Grayson walks out of his office and goes right to Gibbs and Dinozzo. He appears to be a severe man, with a notorious presence as soon as he enters any room, with his austere and, somehow, mysterious look. He's wearing a grey suit with a black waistcoat. Almost looks like an aristocratic man from the Victorian Era.
"Alexander Grayson, may I help you?" he asks formally.
"Sure, we would like to know where your business partner is." answers Tony.
"Jonathan? He just asked for a week off. Why are you looking for him? Did something happen?" replies Grayson.
"His fiancé Wilhelmina Murray is dead." says Gibbs.
"What? Mina is dead?" asks Grayson, horrified.
Gibbs and Dinozzo look at each other finding very intriguing how the news of his co-worker's fiancé's death affected him.
"Please follow me." asks Grayson. And they follow him to his office. Grayson, still with a terrified expression, sits on his big black chair behind his desk. Gibbs and Dinozzo stay standing in front of the desk.
"So you knew Ms. Murray?" asks DInozzo.
"Yes, I do... I mean, I did... Jonathan introduced us. We were... good friends."
"How good?" asks Gibbs. His gut was telling him that Mina and Grayson were more than friends. It was written all over Alexander's face.
"Ok, we were more than just friends, yes. But it only happened once. And for her, it was a mistake..." replies Grayson.
"Does Jonathan know? Do you think he found out and confronted her and then killed her? inquires Dinozzo.
"No, if he found out he would probably kill me, not her." answers Grayson, "Though lately he has been more distant. I thought he was just tired because of work. When he asked for a week off, I agreed immediately. He has been a great partner..."
"Alright... Do you know where we can find him?" asks Gibbs again.
"Well, he was currently living in the Avalon Hotel, in Beverly Hills. Just until the wedding." tells Grayson, "But maybe you should talk to Lucy, she may know something else."
"Lucy? Who's Lucy?" asks Dinozzo.
"Mina's best friend. If there was something else going on with Mina, she definitely knows." answers Grayson.
"Ok, thank you for your time." says Dinozzo.
"Please, tell me when you find who did this... She was a very special woman." asks Grayson, sorrowfully.
"One more thing," says Gibbs, "Where were you at 3:00 am?"
"I was here working, I was here all night, our system can verify that" replies Grayson.
"Then we will need your reports and records."
"Sure, I'll ask my secretary to send it to you now."
Gibbs and Dinozzo go to the car. Even though Grayson seemed genuinely upset, they could not eliminate him from the suspect list. At least, not yet. But right now, Jonathan was still the main suspect.
"I'll call Rizzoli to ask her to find out more about Lucy and check Grayson's alibi. You and I are gonna see if we can find Jonathan in that hotel." States Gibbs.
"Alright, boss" agrees Dinozzo, "Hey boss, is everything ok?"
"Why wouldn't it be?" replies Gibbs.
"I don't know, you seem a little..." and Gibbs interrupts Dinozzo with a glance, "Alright, boss, the hotel!"
Jane was on her desk, doing the task Gibbs asked her too. Grayson's alibi checks out and she sends a message to Gibbs to inform him. So far she had found out that Lucy's surname is Wenstenra and she belongs to a wealthy family. Nothing seems wrong with her, but since Jane got the address, she should go to her house to find out more. Meanwhile, Maura enters the room with some files on her hand.
"I already examined the handkerchief. There are some fingerprints on it, but the system wasn't able to identity them." informs Maura.
"Alright, thank you. Gibbs just called, he and Dinozzo talked to Alexander Grayson..." starts Jane.
"Alexander Grayson?!" asks Maura, perplexed.
"Well... yes... I know he's sort of a famous business man but..." states Jane, bored.
"Are you kidding? His business methods are brilliant! Some people even call his company «Vampire's Tecnology» as a metaphorr for the way he subtly eradicates all his business rivals from the market!" says Maura, in an enthusiastic way.
"Right... ok, enough with Mr. Vampire," replies Jane, with a repugnant expression, "Like I was saying, he told them that he and Mina were more than friends, but he doesn't believe Jonathan knew about it. Anyway, Gibbs and Dinozzo are on their way to talk to him and he asked me to find out more about Lucy, Mina's best friend. I have her address here, d'you wanna come?"
"Sure" agrees Maura.
Gibbs and Dinozzo arrive at Avalon Hotel and go to the hotel reception.
"Hello, how may I help you?" says the hotel receptionist.
"LAPD. We would like to know in which room is Jonathan Harker staying." inquires Gibbs.
"And I would like to know your phone number, sweetcheeks." says Dinozzo, but Gibbs gives him a head slap, "Right, which room?" the receptionist laughs and searches in her computer.
"Mr. Harker is in room 123, 2nd floor on the right." answers the receptionist.
"Thanks" replies Gibbs and Tony winks at her making the recepcionist giggle.
They get to room 123 and Dinozzo knocks.
"LAPD! OPEN THE DOOR HARKER!" shouts Dinozzo and Jonathan opens it.
"Hello, how can I help you officers?" Harker opens the door. He is an athletic young man with blue eyes and olive skin, who appears to be a clever but quite man. Besides not having the same severity in his look as Grayson, his tallness surely gives him stature. However, there was something in his expression when he opened the door that conveyed that something was wrong with him. His eyes almost looked tearful.
"You can help us by coming with us". commands Gibbs
"Why?! I didn't do anything!" says Harker, indignantly.
"Yes you did my friend, you killed your fiancé. Now turn around." Dinozzo forces him to turn around and handcuffs him.
"WHAT?! MINA IS DEAD?! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?" shouts Harker.
"Nice act Harker, now let's go." says Gibbs leading the way to the car.
"Maur are you stalking this guy or something?" Jane asks while stepping out of the car.
"NO! Why would you ask me such thing?" Maura replies following Jane to the front steps of Lucy's house.
"Because you know everything about Grayson's life and company." answers Jane.
"I don't know everything Jane, he is just a well known business man and has a very interesting way of doing his job." Jane rolls her eyes and Maura continues "for example, I don't know anything about his personal life."
"Do you want to?" Jane smirks.
"No, and what do you mean?" Maura asks, confused. Jane stops in front of Lucy's door.
"You should meet him and go on a date, you know many things about him and you go to many conventions and fund-raisers so I'm sure he knows something about you, so not time wasted in getting to know each other!" Jane talks in a very serious way but ends up smiling to show Maura she is just messing with her.
"Really Jane? You're impossible!" Maura laughs.
"I know!" Jane knocks on the door "When we're done here with Lucy, we should go grab lunch." suggests Jane and Maura nods. Lucy opens the door.
"Good afternoon. Who are you?" asks Lucy, nicely. She's a young and, regarding her house, wealthy woman, with blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. His skin is pale, like Mina's, and she is wearing red lipstick, a white full skirt dress and high heels that are making her look way taller than what she really is. Lucy appears to be a delightful and vivacious girl.
"I'm Detective Rizzoli, she's Dr Isles, LAPD, we would like to talk to you." says Jane.
"Sure come in." they enter, "What do you want to talk to me about?" Lucy leads them to her living room and they sit on the couch across from each other.
"It's about Mina Murray. She was found dead this night...Murdered. We are sorry for your loss." Jane says and Lucy starts crying silently.
"You could tell us something about Mina, Lucy?" asks Maura, calmly.
"She was a great and wonderful woman... She was my best friend..." says Lucy, still crying.
"That is good Lucy, is great for you to remember her that way." states Maura, smiling subtly but compassionately.
"I know this is hard right now Lucy, but could you tells us how her relationships with Alexander Grayson and her fiancé were?" asks Jane.
"Yes... She has a good relationship with Alexander, she told she was attracted to him and made the mistake to sleep with him once... Since then she has kept her distance, that made de Alexander very upset." answers Lucy.
"Ok... And how were things between her and Jonathan?" inquires Jane.
"They were having some disagreements with the wedding but other than that I think it seemed good."
"Does Jonathan have any idea about Mina and Grayson?" insists Jane.
"No..."
"Ok that's enough for now, thank you for your help. Do you have a pen and paper?" requests Jane.
"Sure, here" and Lucy gives her a pen and a ripped page from a notebook.
"Ok, if you need anything or remember something that can help us, give me a call." Jane hands her the paper with the LAPD number and discreetly keeps the pen. Jane and Maura walk back to the car.
"Why didn't you just give her your card?" asks Maura.
"Because now we have her fingerprints" Jane shows her the pen, "and my gut is telling me she wasn't completely honest with us, she is hiding something."
"Jane, your intestines don't talk. It is true that she seemed too silent, but that could just be her way of processing the grief." replies Maura, and Jane rolls her eyes and smiles.
"Let's go have lunch." Jane drives.
Jane and Maura return to the LAPD Headquarters with lunch for them and for Gibbs and Dinozzo, but as soon as they enter the room, they see Gibbs and Dinozzo pushing a handcuffed man to the interrogation room.
"That must be Jonathan. I'll talk to Gibbs now." says Jane to Maura, "Here is the pen, analyse it for me, alright?"
"Sure, I'll call you when I have the results!" and Maura goes to her lab.
Jane goes to the room in front of the interrogation room, where Gibbs is observing the suspect. Jonathan is crying quietly sited on the chair.
"D'you think he did this, Gibbs?" asks Jane.
"I don't know, Jane... He matches the murderer's stature, he certainly has the motive..." answers Gibbs. At the same time, Dinozzo enters the interrogation room with a file on his hand. Jane and Gibbs observe the interrogatory.
"So, d'you wanna start talking or do I have to do the honours?" asks Dinozzo.
"I already told you... I don't know anything... I didn't even know she was dead..." answers Jonathan, and he starts crying again.
"She was shot in the head with a 9 mm gun. Our team is in your room right now searching for it. So you'd better tell me something before they..." starts Dinozzo
"BUT I DON'T KNOW! I love Mina! We were getting married... She was... she was everything to me... I don't know..."
"Were there any problems in your relationship that you're not telling me about?"
"No! I mean... She had been acting pretty distant lately... First I thought she was nervous because of the wedding... But I don't know..."
"Maybe you find out she was cheating on you and you got mad and killed her?" tries Dinozzo.
"What? No, she couldn't... Wait, are you serious?" and Jonathan cries even harder.
"You didn't know?"
"NO! Oh my god... How do you know?" Jonathan seems genuinely upset.
"I make the questions here, and since you don't give me answers, I won't help you either!"Where were you at 3a.m.?" inquires Dinozzo.
"I was in my room..." answers Jonathan.
"We have the records from the hotel camera... It happens that you left your room at 2a.m. and returned at 3.45 a.m. That's enough time to kill a person."
"Yes, I left the hotel... But I swear I didn't kill her..." tells Jonathan with a low voice.
"So, where did you go?" asks Dinozzo again. Jonathan doesn't answer.
"We also found this handkerchief near Mina's body." and Dinozzo shows him the handkerchief in a plastic bag," There are some prints on it, so I bet after we take your prints, they'll match."
Jonathan looks to the handkerchief with a terrified look on his face, but he remains silent.
"We have a handkerchief with your name found on the crime scene. You don't have an alibi and you have a motive." Dinozzo tries one more time "What were you doing then?" Jonathan doesn't answer, "Look, i'm incredibly patient today, so I'm gonna ask you again before I..."
"Alright, I'll tell you... I was... I was cheating on Mina..."
"With whom?" asks Dinozzo.
"Lucy, her best friend... I left the hotel to go to her place, but she wasn't there, so I returned to my room right away. I didn't kill Mina... I loved her... I still do... Oh my god... " and Jonathan starts crying again.
"And that handkerchief?"
"It was mine, but Lucy kept it... Oh my god... What have I done.. Mina..." and Jonathan lays his head and his arms on the table, in a disparate way.
Dinozzo looks to the mirror behind him, where he knows Jane and Gibbs are observing.
"I knew she was hiding something", states Jane.
"Let's go to her house. I wanna see what she has to say about it. Text Dinozzo to meet us in the car." and Gibbs and Jane leave the headquarters to Lucy's house.
"Alright..." replies Jane, finding Gibbs more distant and serious than usual.
Before getting in the elevator Gibbs and Jane are stopped by Maura.
"Gibbs! Jane! Wait!" shouts Maura.
"What's up Maur?" asks Jane.
"I identified the fingerprints that were on the handkerchief." says Maura handing the file to Gibbs.
"Yes?" Jane asks, already knowing who Maura was referring to.
"Yes, they belong to Lucy Westenra. And I'm sure those heels she was wearing today have the height necessary to shoot in that angle."
"Thanks doc, now let's go." Gibbs walks in the elevator followed by Jane.
"Hey, why didn't you call me?" asks Jane quickly.
"You didn't pick up your phone so I decided to come up here and look for you."
"Sorry, I was very focused in the interrogation. See ya later Maur!" Jane yells as the elevator doors close. Maura walks back to the morgue with a smile on her face.
Gibbs and Jane join Dinozzo in the car and leave to Lucy's house. When they get there Jane knocks at her door for the second time that day. Lucy opens the door and is surprised to see Jane again or at least so earlier and with two other detectives.
"Detective Rizzoli, did something happen? Did you already catch Mina's killer?" asks Lucy, with a concerned expression.
"Oh no, but we already know who did that. That's why we're here." answers Jane.
"Excuse me" Dinozzo passes Lucy and enters her house uninvited "You know, it's freezing outside, this winter is terrible this year." and he just stands in the hall.
"You're right Dinozzo, excuse me too." Jane enters and stands right next to Tony.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO COME IN LIKE THAT!" shouts Lucy and she turns to the two detectives. Gibbs takes this opportunity to get in as well and starts looking for something suspicious.
"Jeez," Jane rubs her ears, "anyway, we are here because we have new information." begins Jane.
"Yeah... We know you lied to our beautiful detective Rizzoli here," Jane rolls her eyes, " and we also know that you betrayed your dead best friend with her fiancé. What a friend I gotta say, I want one of these two." Dinozzo says to Jane, Gibbs starts to go through her furniture.
"You don't know what you're talking about!" shouts Lucy arrogantly.
"Oh, we actually do know. I didn't tell you, dear Lucy, but we found a handkerchief in the crime scene with your fingerprints all over it... Damn it and here I thought you were just a..." Jane is interrupted by Gibbs.
"What do we have here?" Gibbs takes a 9mm gun from a drawer.
"I gotta say that's stupid." states Dinozzo.
"You could have at least tossed it... Unless..." says Jane and Gibbs completes.
"Unless you were planning on use it again."
Lucy sits on the floor and starts talking furiously at the same time tears start to drop from her eyes, "Yes... I killed her... I wanted us to be together, I wanted to show her that Jonathan wasn't right for her, that he wasn't what she thought he was, so I decided to sleep with him. .. But it didn't work... So I killed her..." Lucy pauses for a second, and then finishes with a rageful expression, "If she couldn't be with me then she couldn't be with anyone else."
"Well, that is a beautiful story, but you are under arrest for the murder of Wihelmina Murray. You have the right to remain silent..." Dinozzo handcuffs her and leads her to the car.
"This one was thought she had everything under control." concludes Jane.
"But she didn't. Now let's go back." says Gibbs.
Maura goes upstairs as soon as she knows the team had returned.
"Do we have our killer?" asks Maura sitting on the edge of Jane's desk.
"Yeah, she did it because she loved Mina and couldn't stand see her with anyone than her." replies Jane standing from her chair.
"Well ladies, I would love to stay and chat but I have to be somewhere else." says Dinozzo packing his stuff so he can leave.
"Where are you going?" asks Maura, but Gibbs is the one to answer.
"Avalon Hotel"
"Who is she?" asks Maura, smiling playfully.
"A hotel receptionist" answers Gibbs.
"AHAHA YOU'RE GOING TO MEET THIS WOMAN JUST TO GET A FREE NIGHT AT A HOTEL WITH BREAKFAST INCLUDED AND THE BONUS IS SEX! NICE TONY!" Jane teases him.
"No..." tries Dinozzo, who is immediately interrupted by Jane.
"OH YOU CAN'T FOOL ME! I KNOW YOU, YOU DID THIS BEFORE SO SHUT UP!" Jane says.
"Really? You did that, Tony?" asks Maura, surprised.
"SHUT UP ROLY POLY RIZZOLI!" Tony throws a paper ball at Jane.
"OH you didn't..." Jane throws another paper ball but before it could get any further Gibbs intervenes.
"Knock it off you two. Go home. See you all Monday." Gibbs says as he is leaving the room. Dinozzo follows him right after.
"Are you ready to go Maur?" asks Jane.
"Yes" says she while they go to the elevators.
"Did Tony really do that?" asks Maura.
"Yeah, when we were 19 or 20 years old, a long time ago. Tonight movie night, your place or mine?" asks Jane.
"Mine please, I have a new bottle of wine that I really want to try." answers Maura.
"Ok, your place it is." Jane says as they step off the elevator and amke their way to their cars.
"So Lucy killed Mina because she was in love with her?" asks Maura.
"Yeah pretty sick... I mean it's difficult to see the one you love with someone else, but if you really love her you should be happy for her." replies Jane.
"Jealousy and rejection are very hard feelings to deal with and people react very differently." states Maura "Actually I have a very informative documentary at home about how our brain perceives information and turns it into rejection without even..."
"NO, NO. Not gonna happen. We're gonna watch TRANSFORMERs: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN!" states Jane, while they get out of the elevator.
"What? Again? I mean, I admire the methods used to create those special effects, but the story itself is very unrealistic" says Maura.
"I don't care. I love it, and we're gonna watch it again.I wanna re watch it before we go to the cinema watch the third movie." states Jane, "Next time you can choose." promises Jane.
"You said that last time..." remembers Maura.
"I'll let you choose the snacks then." agrees Jane, as they were exiting the building and going to the car.
"Alright, so we can eat a white bean dip with..." starts Maura.
"WHAT? Beans? Now way. I want chips."
"See? You're a terrible friend." says Maura.
"Just shut up" and Jane opens the passenger door for Maura, who smiles at Jane's ideal generosity.
"See, I'm an awesome friend." says Jane, after getting in the car. Maura immediately tries to hide their smile by giving Jane, who's also smiling at Maura, a cold look.
"What about... Mr. Grayson?" asks Maura, shyly.
"Oh my god, what do you mean?" asks Jane.
"Does he know already who killed Mina?", replies Maura.
"NO, and you are NOT gonna be the one to inform him. I'll call him tomorrow. Besides, he and Jonathan will certainly talk about it." states Jane, "I can't believe you're trying to meet him!"
"I'M NOT... trying to meet him... I just find his business mechanisms extremely curious and it would be pleasent for me to ask him some questions and share my consideration for him..." explains Maura, wandering her eyes.
"Share your consideration?! Is that what you call it?" asks Jane, in a repugnant way.
After some minutes driving, they finally get to Maura's house. As soon as they enter the living-room, Jane starts to introduce the Transformers DVD on the DVD player before Maura has a chance to debate about it. However, both Maura's and Jane's telephones start ringing at the same time.
"Rizzoli" answers Jane.
"Dr. Insles" replies Maura.
After some seconds on the phone, they hang up.
"Well, it seems we have a new case..." states Maura.
"Yeah, quicker than I thought... Let's go, Gibbs is already there. " says Jane, "and we're gonna have to re-schedule our Transformers appointment for next week..." jokes Jane, "You won't get away with this. I'm gonna make you watch it with me."
"It'd be impossible not to, right?" answers Maura, and they smile at each other before exiting Maura's house.
