had the night off. sister dorothy was doing the final check. (eames) any problems recently? uh, the usual. homeless men urinating on our flowerbeds. graffiti... we'll take photos of the graffiti. you run a shelter here. uh, the sisters rescue girls from prostitution. sister olivia started the program. she's the one who found dorothy. we'll need to speak with her. she's downstairs calming her girls. i'll get her. so, the offender probably hid in here. burst out, caught the nun. shoved her into that. you'll see that the wax is not red, so the blood never mixed with it. the candle stand must have been knocked over
12:04 pm
after she went down once the blood congealed. [sister olivia clears throat] hi. i'm sister olivia. how can i help? how are your girls? they're freaked. me too. sister dorothy was my light. when i found her, she was already gone. i said a prayer. (goren) we're very sorry. so these rescues, how do they work? we look for men gathered around a van. there's usually one or two girls inside, servicing 20 or 30 men a night. there's no time to call the police, so we buy the girls from their pimps with donations. well, that's very dangerous work. so when was the last rescue? wednesday night. you don't think that-- somebody might have wanted their girls back. it's not our fault. they know. they want to find the guys who were selling you. we need you to be brave. they already are. they keep us in a house
12:05 pm
with bars on the windows. every night, enrique... the one with the scar, and mateo drive us to a different corner. you remember anything about the house or the neighbors? maybe you heard something? no. enrique always plays his music loud. (sister olivia) before i found dorothy, i remember hearing hip-hop music, uh, from outside, from a car, in spanish. uh, could you see out the windows? just these big buildings on top of the highway. i never seen that before. maybe those apartments above the cross-bronx? (goren) desiree, you look very nice today. i was wondering if you always pencil in your eyebrows. no, not until my real ones go away. they fell out. do you use a face cream? something maybe enrique gave you? he get it for us from a botanica.
12:06 pm
"crema blanqueadora." skin lightener. he can charge more for girls with lighter skin. there's mercury in this. mercury, that's why your eyebrows fell out, because of this. you see where enrique bought this? that's him! enrique, with the scars. police! put your hands behind your head. put them behind your head!
12:07 pm
12:08 pm
those are mateo's friends. he's 15. he can play with them. where were you last night? huh? were you in a church? i don't go to no churches. you weren't in a church? a wooden church full of candles? nah. those churches, they burn fast, you know? you ever see a church burn? yeah. [laughing] he's a full-on pyro. he would have burned that church down if he had the chance. didn't someone knock over a candle stand? the floor's stone. knocking over some candles wouldn't do anything. you know, the--the stand, it was dragged ten feet...
12:09 pm
toward the body. it's the way that the... the wax splattered and--and ran along the floor. the fluid mechanics are all wrong. the floor tilts. somebody steered the wax toward the body. you're the lapsed altar boy. what's the religious significance of wax? well, the candle is a symbol for christ and wax being his pure flesh. but somehow, i think that the purpose for this was more practical.
12:10 pm
there was the same graffiti outside. everybody knows saturn protects the innocents. that's why not one of those girls got hurt. (eames) if all you wanted was to protect them, mickey, why'd they attack you? they said that you were spying on them. that's a confusion of perception. well, we're confused about these. we found them next to sister dorothy. those aren't mine. look, saturn has five ring systems, not seven. and what's all this crud on them? it's wax. wax? wax is mutable. you can't protect nothing with a mutable. do you have the other half of this?
12:11 pm
did you rip this, mickey? no. (goren) maybe you earned it somehow? you know, they paid you one half up front and the other half later? my employer wanted me to see where sister dorothy's office was. (eames) and that's why the girls thought you were spying on them. who paid you? white man, black shirt. no, other way. black man, white shirt. black shirt, white shirt-- saturn boy's got a few loose rings floating around his head. he's right about the markings on the floor. there's nothing in his notebook that matches. his employer tried to frame him for the sister's murder. the killer drew those on the floor, covered them up with wax? somebody in that church is playing games.
12:15 pm
?ót one to find her body. (goren) sister, before you start lying... the markings on the floor were not mickey's. oh, thank god. (eames) somebody tried to frame him. and we think you tried to protect him by covering them up with wax. dorothy wouldn't have wanted mickey to go to prison. you don't know, but schizophrenics have it very hard. oh, i do know, sister. i thought i was doing what she wanted me to do. forgive me. well, thanks for clearing it up. olivia's right. dorothy spent her whole life sacrificing for others. (eames) was her office open on thursday? uh, closed, but not locked. you have the keys for these? what about a computer? dorothy spent the tech boom cloistered in the convent upstate. she still used carbon paper.
12:16 pm
i'll be upstairs if you need anything. the cabinet's been jimmied. there's wite-out used to cover up the marks. (goren) personal correspondence. (eames) her rolodex-- somebody grabbed all the cards under d and m. i have a letter here from the mother superior of the convent upstate from two weeks ago. "i enclose a note a gentleman left with sister edwina to pass on to you." there's no note. the note's missing. how far upstate? (mother superior) when dorothy had her irish up, she was a force. she opened a refuge here for battered women. and then two years ago, she went into the city to help sister olivia. sister edwina, the detectives have been waiting. come.
12:17 pm
they won't bite. we'd like to talk to you about the man who left a note for sister dorothy. is that all right? yes. he was in binghamton on business. he said sister dorothy had helped him when she taught catholic school in the city years ago. he wanted to thank her. you get his name? just eddie. mine's edwina. he joked about it, so i laughed. (goren) okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, sister--just--sorry. is there anything else that you can tell us about the way he looked? i try not to judge people's insides... by their outsides. so there's something about him that you were trying not to judge. he's different in some way. he was a foreigner? or he was... was he big like me? not so big. and not so caucasian. okay, african-american. all right, anything else? did he have a car? gray? it was gray. i saw it when he went for his bag to get his notepad. what kind of bag?
12:18 pm
i wasn't being nosy, but he put it on my desk. it had syringes and one of those things that take blood pressure and vials with rubber stoppers. okay, for blood samples. he was a doctor. with that old car? oh, gosh, that sounded very judgmental. no, no, no, it's fine, sister. um... i guess that's all. all right, thanks. it's a long way to come just to say thank you. if eddie was a doctor, he would have said so. maybe he's just someone who takes blood samples, a phlebotomist. a phlebotomist of color named eddie. how many can there be in the city? sign in, please. this do? it's about sister dorothy, isn't it? i read what happened. i guess you know that i was in touch with her. (eames) right, you were in touch. she was your teacher in catholic school? no. sister edwina misunderstood.
12:19 pm
i just played in their schoolyard. but sister dorothy helped you. or did we misunderstand that? i was 12. some older boys were beating me up. she stepped in, gave them a what for. i ran home. she saved my life. i never thanked her. she saved your life. you never thanked her. that must have been quite a-a beating. yes, i never forgot it. oh, sorry. i like this. sorry. i'm thinking that you must have built up a lot of gratitude in the last 20 years to go all the way upstate. my company sent me there to lead a tutorial. you hear from sister dorothy after she got your note? (eddie) she called my cell. i mentioned in the note i wanted to make a donation. we spoke briefly. (eames) you speak to anyone else? a homeless man named mickey? he said he got a $20 donation. i never went to the church.
12:20 pm
may i go? uh, yeah. last thing. we're asking everybody where they were thursday night. i was home studying electrocardiography. home, studying by yourself? yes. eddie roberts is happily single. it's the only way to get things done. alex eames says he's a big phony. he didn't flinch when i crowded him. that's not the way a beating victim would react. excuse me, please don't touch that. hey, you're the supervisor? e guy who sent him upstate? uh, for the tutorial? no, eddie volunteered for some reason. for some reason. please, there's confidential information on there. eddie seems to spend a lot of time searching hmo databases. we don't have access to those. (eames) eddie roberts does. he started screening patient histories last year,
12:21 pm
all women. a backdoor way to find sister dorothy? your phlebotomist scanned 4,000 databases for women with o-negative blood, thyroid condition, hepatitis, and thalassemia. he must have thought your sister dorothy fit the bill. thalas, from the greek goddess of the sea. it's a blood disease found mainly in mediterranean, african, and southeast asian women. sister dorothy was irish. and she didn't have hepatitis or a thyroid condition. it's another woman he's trying to find. he had to think that sister dorothy could lead him to her. that's why he searched her office. he confronted her, and she wouldn't help. so he killed her. this woman sister dorothy died protecting, i hope she's worth it. i didn't mean to scare the girls. i know. oh, um...

12:28 pm
and now i teach the girls here. they need skills, or they go back to what they know. why are you asking? we've identified a suspect. i don't recognize him. he's looking for somebody. he wanted sister dorothy to help him find her. her. a woman. about your age, maybe employed as a baker. you think it's me. but i'm employed as a nun. (goren) your blouse. it's discolored. the cotton is worn. that's from the rubbing that i've seen you do. mmm. my stomach hurts when i get stressed. it's your spleen, isn't it? it's swollen? from the type of anemia that you have? it's thala... thalassemia.

12:29 pm
look, i wish i could be more helpful, but... uh, were you diagnosed with your anemia before you were a nun? uh-huh, when i was a kid. just trying to figure out how eddie roberts found out. maybe he... maybe he met your parents. no, they're gone. maybe somebody else from your past. it's not something i talked about when i was growing up. you didn't want the other kids knowing you were weak. the girls trust you so much because they sense that you share something in common. [laughs] don't pretend you know me, detective. i help these girls because it's my christian duty. they're victims, powerless. something i never was. i made choices. even in surrendering to god's will, i made a choice. there's just one last thing. we thought that maybe if you... if we brought you and eddie together, eddie might tell you why he's looking for you. if you think it would help, sure. she called our bluff. she knew eddie couldn't talk without implicating himself
