"Freeze! Police!" a SWAT officer yelled as he and his comrades burst into the home since John decided to go in, after seeing Nick chase Dan.
"I want a lawyer," Dan shouted.
"Nick! Stop!" John yelled as Nick stopped. Dan was being handcuffed.
"I want to talk to Chelsea!" Nick said angrily.
No. Nick, I can't let you do that. You need to let us handle this," John said then continued when he said something to another officer. "Take him to the northern division holding cell and let him call a lawyer."
"Yes sir," the officer said as they left.
"I want her, Boss," Nick said angrily.
"Nick." John gave Nick an angry stare. Nick calmed down.
After a few minutes, Nick and Kat went to the northern division to write out their reports while John went back to the squad to join Lilly. John wanted Kat to stay with Nick so he didn't try to find Chelsea even though Chelsea was being interrogated by Lilly.
In the interrogation room-
Lilly walked in while Will and Scotty were in the observation room, watching.
"Hi. Got some information on your background. You have been in and out of foster homes, and you beat a student to death."
"Why, does your life seem better?" Chelsea sneered.
"Because my father ran out on me when I was 6, my mom was an alcoholic who couldn't stop drinking, and I went to school without money or breakfast. What happened with the student you beat to death?"
"You can't ask me about the student because I was a juvenile."
"There is no statue of limitations on murder. I can ask you whatever the hell I want," Lilly snapped back.
"What the hell do you want?" Chelsea asked angrily.
"I want to know about Michelle Cunningham."
"I don't know who she is and your detectives already asked me and Joe that a few weeks ago," Chelsea said annoyed. She was seated at the side of the table and Lilly was on the other side.
"Well, we've heard different and that you knew her. Also we have witnesses who say you accused Michelle's ex-boyfriend of murder at the high school reunion," Lilly said.
"I don't know who Michelle is. Nick Vera is lying about that!" She shouted.
"I didn't say the witness' name other than it happened."
John walked in the observation room.
"Have you seen this before?" Lilly put a picture on the table that showed the ring that was sent to Nick.
"No."
"There are pictures of you wearing this ring after Michelle's death."
"So, there are many like those. You are wasting your time and you need to look at Nick Vera, he is the one who did it," Chelsea sneered, stood up, and pointed to the door. She then sat back down.
"There is an inscription of MC on the ring. I bet we can check for your DNA on that ring."
"Well, you are not getting it," she said.
"We have the ring and we will get a court order."
"Get a court order then," she sneered.
"You took an auto shop class just 6 months before Michelle was killed. Three of her ex-boyfriends also took shop, but they had alibis. Nick had one, too even though he didn't take an auto shop class." she said then continued, "We got information you were upset Michelle was dating your boyfriend Joe, and that you told some friends you were going to get back at Michelle."
"No! Let me tell you something, Mistina Hart is the one who did it, she told me what she did."
"Mistina Hart has an alibi, too. Did you write any letters to anyone involved in the case?"
"No, why would I do a dumb thing like that?"
"It says here your fingerprints were found on the gas line of Detective Nick Vera's car."
"What? That can't be right! I told Dan Brady to cut his brake lines, not his gas line since I wanted Nick Vera to die! That dumbass!" Suddenly Chelsea realized what she had done. "Shit—"
In the observation room—
"Gotcha," Scotty said with a smirk.
In the interview room—
"Oh, I'm sorry. I meant the brake lines of Michelle's car since your fingerprints were all over it," Lilly angrily said.
"Damn bastard!" Chelsea said upset as she banged on the table.
"And you know what?" Lilly asked.
"What?" Chelsea said.
"We have a search warrant for your home and once we find the locket, we got you for murder."
"I can't take it anymore!" she cried.
"Oh?"
"I made Joe come with me so I can put holes in her brake line while he was inside with Michelle at a café in Chestnut Hill. Since I made Joe give me the extra key that was made, I used it to get in her car and hide in the backseat. She never saw me till we were on W. Evergreen Avenue."
"Then what?" Lilly asked as she wrote everything Chelsea said down.
[Flashback]
[A View To a Kill by Duran Duran on the James Bond soundtrack.
Meeting you, with a view to a kill,
Face to face, in secret places. Feel the chill.
Nightfall covers me,
But you know, the plans I'm making
Still over see.
Could it be the whole earth opening wide
A sacred why? A myst'ry gaping inside
The weekends; why? Until we
February 15, 1986—
Joe drove near the end of W. Evergreen Avenue as Chelsea hid behind the back seat in Michelle's car. Michelle realized she was driving a bit fast then hit the brakes, but they quit working as she was heading for some trees and panicked.
Dance into the fire,
That fatal kiss is all we need.
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams.
Dance into the fire;
That fatal kiss is all we need.
Dance into the fire.
"Oh no! I can't stop! Nicky I need you! I can't stop!" She cried.
The choice for you is the view to a kill.
Between the shades, assassination standing still.
The first crystal tears
Fall as snowflakes on your body,
As she got closer to the trees, she was still going too fast then the seatbelt was unbuckled.
First time in years,
To drench your skin with lover's rosy stain.
A chance to find a phoenix for the flame,
A chance to die, but can we
"What the hell! Oh no!"
Dance into the fire,
That fatal kiss is all we need.
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams.
Chelsea undid the seatbelt as Michelle was about to hit the trees and the loud crash was heard. Chelsea carefully put the seatbelt back on, wacked her on the back of the head, very hard, carefully got out of the passenger side, looked around to see if anyone was coming, then ran off. She ran towards Joe who waited for her, then she got in Joe's car and they drove off. Michelle had a bad cut on her head as she was bleeding and was very weak.
Dance into the fire;
That fatal kiss is all we need.
Dance into the fire,
When all we see is a view to a kill.
[End song]
[End Flashback]
Lilly stood up along with Chelsea while Scotty opened the door from the squad room. He watched Lilly put the cuffs on Chelsea then she was led away to a holding cell.
John called Nick on his cell phone.
"Nick, we got Chelsea for the murder and we found the locket you gave to Michelle."
"You did, Boss?" Nick asked as he sat in his car as Kat patted his shoulder.
"Sure did, Nick."
"Thanks, Boss," Nick then hung up and took a few deep breaths as he wiped away tears that started to fall.
[I'll Be Over You -sung by Toto]
Will and Scotty packed up the box, put the evidence they just collected inside, as well as the files in the file holders then they both walked down to the storage room. Will set it on the table, wrote the word closed on the side of the cover, then set it on an empty shelf then both men walked up the stairs.
At a Northeast division holding cell, Dan Brady was in a conference room with his lawyer talking about the deal he is about to make.
[Some people live their dreams
Some people close their eyes]
Joe Mainsheim was in a holding cell, where he saw Chelsea being arrested and led into an adjacent cell.
At a party for some co-workers, Bethany Donnelly chatted as they laughed about stuff and she drank her tea as she looked at the TV.
[Some people's destiny
Passes by]
At the jail Andrew was at, he was talking to some prisoners in an alcohol rehab group while he thought about Michelle.
Joe Cuomo finished up some yard work when Felix Jackson walked up to him and they walked inside, sat on the chairs, and talked.
[There are no guarantees
There are no alibis]
At Rhonda's house, she looked over the pictures of Michelle in the photo album as Henry sat next to her and put his arm around her back as they both smiled.
Jerry Black walked in, shook hands with John, then they walked over to Nick. Nick turned his chair around, looked up, saw Jerry and stood up. Jerry said something while he brought out his hand and Nick shook his hand and nodded.
[That's how our love must be
Don't ask why]
Mistina Hart talked to her kids as she folded laundry and watched them leave the room as she smiled.
Nick and John paid Rhonda a visit as they gave her the locket back as Nick felt she should keep it. Nick and Rhonda hugged each other as they saw Michelle's ghost appear, then as she turned, she faded away.
[It takes some time
God knows how long
I know that I can forget you]
