A dog shows up whenever I have anxiety.
I was in the military.
I don't really like to talk about it.
Can you fix the bridge...
- over the stream, by my house? - Sure.
ROSS: I'm actually helping Liam with the bridge.
You need to make your school year.
It's the one thing your dad would've wanted.
You can't fire me!
You are arrogant, you cut corners,

I'm officially reopening all of the cases
of former pathologist, Dr. Ian Peterson.
MCAVOY: Every lawyer with a convicted murderer
in the past ten years is about to file an appeal.
Then we deal with them.
ROSS: That's my mom and her sister.
She died. She never talks about her.
[SMALL GRINDER WHIRS]
[WHIRRING]
You must've killed in Shop Class.
And Home Ec.
We don't need the foot to determine
if she died of multiple organ trauma.
True. But when I return this young woman's body
back to her family,
I'd like it to be whole.
MCAVOY: I brought you a present.
Is it a foot? 'Cause if it is,
we've already got a matching set.
Even better.
A fine upstanding citizen
found these bones in his backyard
when he was putting on a deck.

Detective McAvoy, these are pig bones.
Someone probably got a cute little piglet,
and it grew into a gigantic sow,
and they got rid of it in their backyard.

ALISON: If you could just wait

Gerald Henry Jones has been rotting in a prison cell

flawed pathology report.
Well, if that's true, then he'll get a new trial.

Jones stabbed him 26 times with a pair of scissors

- Holy shit. - What?
Medullary thyroid cancer.
James had a tattoo of a shamrock on his chest
and I thought it was an Irish thing, but... there.
What do you see?
To me, that's a very small blue cross.
Yeah.
What does it mean?
It means it's not an Irish thing, it's a,
- it's a cancer thing. - Oh, okay.
During radiation therapy,
oncologists mark you with a little cross
so that they know where to point the laser.
And some people, they get it permanently tattooed.
James Grigson, and, uh,
he knew he was dying.
That's why he put the accidental death policy
on his insurance.
And then he killed himself.
And makes it look like an accident.
Worth a shot.
Only he didn't know that his body wouldn't get found
and his daughter would get nothing.
Nothing? No.
No, she gets closure now, right?
You want a drink? I think we've earned one, don't you?
- Yeah. - Okay, I'll grab it.
Thanks, Dad.

[WAVES LAP GENTLY]
GREER: My research on Gerald Henry Jones shows
that besides Shipman, four other murders happened
in Tent City between 1999 and 2002.
The press said that it was homeless junkies
stabbing each other because of bad Bolivian crack.
The Drug Squad said the same thing.
Do you really think a junkie pulled off 4 meticulous murders
without leaving behind any DNA and then just slipped away?
You think Gerald Henry Jones killed them.
After you put him away for killing Shipman,
the murders stopped.
Correlation does not imply causation.
What are you doing?
This is what we know for sure.
Jones killed Shipman.
We have nothing to tie him to the other murders.
My theories are sound.
Yes, but I can't take them to the prosecutor,
and I definitely can't take 'em to a judge.
Jones is canny and meticulous.
I had trouble proving he murdered one person,
let alone all this.
I need proof.
Then I guess you have work to do, Detective.
And I have a lecture in the morning.
- Can I keep all this? - I have copies.
Greer...
Thank you.

JENNY: How's the home?
Please don't call it "the home".
Makes me feel so old. The home?
Then what should I call it?
Call what?
The home.
- Jen, - Hey.
whose house is this? Where are we?
Dad, hey.
What? [CHUCKLES]
I can't help myself, sorry.
It's the little dementia jokes just to lighten you up,
- you know? [LAUGHS] - That is not funny.
Listen, I don't want you worrying about Ross, okay?
That is a waste of your time.
He's not gonna last a week under Muna's regime, okay?
- Yeah. - There something else?
It's just... I, uh...
I feel like I broke something
between us today,
and I just, I-I...
I don't know how to fix it.
Well, you just gotta give it time.
- Ross adores you. Okay? - Yeah.
What else?
Muna said something today that got under my skin.
More than usual.
Oh, really?
And what is she saying?
That death is attracted to me.
And that I like it.
But you've always been a person that was...
full of questions.
That's the best way to say it.
You were eight when your sister died.
And maybe you picked the job
because it did bring you closer to death,
but so what?
What you're doing now is providing answers.
- [CAR RUMBLES UP] - Thanks.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
- My chariot has arrived. - Yeah.
Listen to me.
You're in no way messed up, my girl.
In fact, you're exceptional,
and you make me so proud.
[SNIFFLES]
Thanks, Dad.
- [CHUCKLES] - Okay.
Where's my hat? Oh, here we go.
Oh... God, you and Katie just loved that mutt.
That was our dog?
Arski. What a good boy he was.
Poor old thing, he just took off after Katie died.
You were so young.
He just couldn't handle the grief, poor dog.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
God, I gotta go. I love you, sweetheart.
[GASPS] Yeah...
This guy is gonna kill me out here.

What kind of problem?
That bucket of bones Detective McAvoy dropped off?
There's an extra bone.
[SNIFFS] What do you mean?
RIVER: No matter how many times we put the skeleton together,
we always end up with an extra rib.
JENNY: Well, pig ribs look like human ribs.
But that's why I called you.
The extra rib, we think it's human remains.
