Undue Process (46)

That poor women.  You know the missing girl is her goddaughter?  I'd
be a nervous wreck and here she is manning the phones.
  -- Women

We found her, c'mon.  Get your coat...  We need you.
Oh no.  Oh no.  No.  Please!
  -- Nick and Natalie

Dr. Reston will be handling this Natalie, by herself.
What?
You're just too close.
Captain, Gault is still out there.  I can help, you can't just shut me
out of this!
I'm sorry Doctor.  It's not my choice.
  -- Captain Cohen and Natalie

Mr. Hobbs, let's send him to hell.
  -- Boss

What are you?  Part bloodhound?
  -- Schanke

Natalie, you know you don't have to stay here.
I had to see him.  I don't know why, really.  I just had to see him up
close.  I had to see his eyes.
  -- Nick and Natalie

God, he should be so ashamed.
He should be dead!
  -- Cop and Natalie

Who's his duty council?
Oh, guess who.  Sheppard.  She's on the way.
Sheppard.
Yeah, the original leftist bleeding heart.  Liberal murderers are
people, too!
  --  Cohen and Schanke

Man, oh, man, I hate this job tonight.  It's all backwards.
The bad guys get coddled, the good guys can't catch a break.
  -- Schanke

You're gonna have to cut him loose.  They couldn't pick him out of the
line-up, and nobody could give you a positive ID
Wait, wait, wait!  You're not seriously suggesting that we let him
take a walk. 
I repeat.  No positive ID.
  -- Sheppard and Schanke

Look, I know how everybody feels. I know how this looks.  It's your
job to bring in the suspect.  But it's my job right now to do
everything in my power to keep this from becoming a Roman circus.
Oh, right, right, right.  Maybe spin off a little bit of front-page
controversy for yourself.  It's nice to get your name in the paper
isn't it, huh?
Detective, its very clear to me that if you had your way, Ronald Gault
would be lined up in front of firing squad and shot at dawn!
  -- Sheppard and Schanke


The simple fact is that we have something here called due process!
And as much as you would like to see Ronald Gault pay for this crime,
you must first establish that it is his crime!  And right now, I don't
see the evidence.  I don't see anything.
Oh, I second that!
Easy, Schanke, it's not helping
It's the law, you people.  It's called law enforcement for a reason.
  -- Sheppard, Schanke and Cohen

You're dead!
Yes.  I am.  Perhaps you could tell me why.
  -- Hobbson and Nick

You're a killer.  You murdered that woman over in Angesley.
According to whom?  Everybody knows and that was good enough for you!
The boss said you did it!  His word is good enough!
  -- Hobbson and Nick

You never even gave me a chance to defend myself!  You
wanted vengeance and *now* so do I.
  -- Nick

Don't mind me if I throw up!
  -- Schanke

Why are you looking so happy?
I'm just doing my job.
Why, you smug...BITCH!
  -- Natalie and Sheppard

The crown's going to love this one, Captain.  And I think I just might
see you in court, too, Doctor!
  --  Sheppard

So that's it?
Go home Doctor, you're done here.
Let's go.
Done?  I'm not done!  I haven't even started, yet!
  -- Natalie, Cohen, and Nick

They hurt ... children.  They kill children and they don't even seem
to feel a thing!  How can that be!
Even for me, it's difficult to comprehend evil like that.
  -- Nick, to Natalie

He's got to pay.  Gault's got to pay! 
  -- Natalie

You want me to what?
Babysit.  You and Knight.
  -- Schanke and Cohen

That is sweet!  The guy can't get comfortable in lockup so we have to
take him home and tuck him in, right?
  -- Schanke

Sure, everything will be fine Captain, as long as I don't accidently
strangle him with my bare hands.
  -- Schanke

Where the hell is it?
  -- Natalie

You want to tell me what you were going to say to the Captain.
No, no!
You want to tell somebody.  You might not think you do, but you do
want to.
Part of me does, but...
Then look at me.  *LOOK AT ME!*
I wanted to tell them.
Tell me now!.
  -- Nick and Gault

You filthy scoundrel!  How did you get down?
Maybe your technique needs some work.
I'll finish it here, then.
I'm a ghost.  YOU executed me!
Let me down, let me down, and you're free to go your own way.
Leniency?  You don't want to kill me anymore?  You don't
want to try again?  Third times the charm, don't they say.  You
were wrong about me, and for that you will die!
  -- Boss and Nick

This is wrong.  This is all wrong.  How could she have botched
this so badly?
  -- Natalie

Thanks for the cat-nap.  I went out like a light!
Oh, don't mention it.  You can spell me later.
Look at that guy, would you?  How can he sleep like that?
After what he's done.
I don't even sleep that soundly on vacation.  ... You know he doesn't
look so good.  You think I should call 911 or something?
  -- Schanke and Nick

What are you doing here?
You know that I'm never very far away from you.
  --  Nick and LaCroix

Vengeance?  Were you satisfied?
I did what I had to do.
Oh.  Of course.  An eye for an eye and all that.  Yes...well
I can't say that I don't approve.  But tell me Nicholas, why
do you think they accused you of killing the woman?
It was all hearsay.
Indeed.  Started by whom, I wonder.  
  -- Nick and LaCroix

Oh come, come.  You don't want them to know who really did it, would
you?  Look at you now.  You're guilty of the same crime that they are.
You do entertain me, Nicholas.  Betraying your own high-minded ideals.
I knew you had it in you.  Well done.
  -- LaCroix

Sheppard is gonna have a field day with this!
It was a heart-attack.
Yeah, a little bit too much of the wrong kind of excitement in his
miserable life.  Instant karma, Nick.  Part of the grand design.
Sheppard can preach all she wants, but there is justice in this world.
  -- Schanke and Nick

Looks like a massive coronary thrombosis.  Can't be sure, though,
until I do the enzyme tests.
We tried to resusitate him.  It was only a matter of seconds.  
Literally, he never came around.
There's nothing you could have done for him.  Hopeless case.  Forget
about it.
  -- Dr. Reston, Nick and Schanke

As far as I'm concerned, it's all but closed.
Well, I don't know about that.  He died while in police custody.  We
are going to want a thorough investigation.
Our investigation will continue, Ms. Sheppard, inasmuch as we still yet
to determine for certain if Gault killed Cynthia Luce.  If you are
suggesting criminal conduct on the part of my officers, potentially
slanderous accusations, I might remind you, we'd be happy to see you
in court, too. 
This is not over.  It is not over!
  -- Cohen and Sheppard

Yesssss!!!!
Control yourself, Schanke.
  -- Cohen

Here it is.  DNA from the samples we brought in matches Gault.
So, how do you figure that the blood type didn't match and the DNA
does, eh?
Contaminated samples, maybe.  Problems with the testing procedures.
I've seen it before.  It happens.  Anyway he did it, big time.
Surprise!
  -- Nick and Schanke

Can we go home now?
You go on home.  I'll type up the report.
You'd do that for me?  What a guy.
  -- Schanke and Nick

Hey, Nick, do you think if we had moved a little faster, we could have
saved him?
Schanke, don't beat yourself up, okay?  
It's just that you never want to see anybody dead.  I say it, I joke
about it...
Yeah, I know.  Go on.  Goodnight.
Thanks, partner!
  -- Schanke and Nick

If its okay with you, I'll drop by on the way home.  Just to
talk. Sometimes it helps to talk. 
  -- Nick

You could just destroy it, couldn't you.  No one needs to know at this
point.  I guarantee that no one cares.
You killed him, didn't you.  You found out about his heart condition and
you slipped him something.  In the injection of local anesthetic.  Let
me guess, digitalis poisoning?
Dijoxin and quinadine in a saline buffer.  Time released.  
  -- Emma Reston and Natalie

I fixed the blood work to get him out of jail.  I thought he'd leave
town.  Just go off and die somewhere, where no one would help him.
Just like the KGB used, and then you tried to cover it in the autopsy.
But you knew where to look.  What's it going to be, Doctor?  Them or us.
Gault would have walked.  You and I both know he would have done it
again.  They always do.
You've done this before, haven't you?
  -- Emma and Natalie

This is so wrong!
Is it?  Who speaks for Cynthia, Doctor, if we won't?  It's done!  Let
it go!  You have a choice.  You can let it go.  I did it for us.
Natalie?  Nat? You okay?
I can't.  I can't be a part of this.  She killed Gault.  She drugged
him.  Induced his heart failure.
  -- Natalie, Emma and Nick

Doctor Reston, I am so sorry.
I'm not.  I never will be.
  -- Natalie and Emma

Unbelievable.  She poisoned him.  How do you like that!
Not quite poison, Schanke.  More sophisticated than that.  She gave
him a prescription for heart failure.  She knew what his weakness was
and she attacked it.
So what do you think is going to happen to her?
Not sure.  Never seen a case like this.
  -- Schanke and Cohen

Well if you ask me she should get a medal.
You think so, do you?
Actually, Captain, I don't know what to think.  What about Cynthia
Luce's family?  What about Natalie?  I mean, how do they go on?
They just do I guess.  Even though it hurts beyond what we can
imagine.  She'll live, because she has to.  What else can she do?
  -- Schanke and Cohen
