The RizzIsles Rhyme & Reason: Quotable RizzIsles: Episode 2.09 -- "Gone Daddy Gone"

Case: A girl is killed by Paddy’s MO. and left on display at the docks

RizzIsles: Something seems to be developing between Maura and Tommy, and Jane isn’t happy about it; Maura is forced to give Paddy Doyle medical attention when he holds her and Tommy at gunpoint in her home; Jane tries to avoid sensitivity training

(Knocking on door to Maura’s house, Maura answers)

Jane: (in workout attire, fixing her pony tail; looks Maura up and down; shaking her head) No. No. No no no no… did you forget?!

Maura: (in typical Maura clothes, frowning) Oh shoot.

Jane: Maura. This crack-of-dawn run was your idea. (frustrated) Damnit! I coulda slept in.

Maura: I am so sorry.

Guy in background: Hey babe, once you touch it you gotta do something with it.

Jane: (shocked) Babe?! (walks in passed Maura, looks around wall and sees Tommy) What’s Tommy doing here so early?

Maura: Not early so much as late. He spent the night. (Jane whips her head around to glare at Maura, stops in her tracks) Playing Chess. He’s quite good. (moves passed Jane back to Tommy at table, addresses Tommy) Sorry. Knight to B3.

Tommy: Declining the gambit is a risky move. (to Jane, childlike) Morning, Sis.

Jane: (annoyed) I didn’t realize you two were so chummy.

Maura: Oh this isn’t chummy! (serious tone, smiling at Tommy) I’ve all but destroyed his King’s Pawn defense.

Tommy: (gritting his teeth, smiling) Whatever.

Jane: Oh, good for you. (quickly) Ma goes to Atlantic City for a few days now you’re sleepin over?

Tommy: Like she said, Jane. We’re just, playing chess. Best opponent I ever faced.

Maura: (smiling) Stop.

Jane: (answering ringing cell) Rizzoli. Yea, okay. I’ll be right there. (hangs up) C’mon we got a possible homicide. We gotta go.

Maura: (innocently) I’m about to castle and I, I haven’t been called in yet. (moves Chess pieces, smiles; Tommy looks concerned; answers ringing cell phone) Dr. Isles. (whispering to Tommy as she gets up) No moves without me.

Jane: (mocking Maura’s whisper to Tommy) No moves at all. Show yourself out.

Jane: (walking onto crime scene with Maura) Do not sleep with my brother.

Maura: (offended) What?! Jane! I hadn’t even occurred to me! Though he does have exquisite long bones. (smirking)

Jane: (making a disgusted face) Long bones?! Ew!!

Maura: Femur and tibia. Look, it’s his mind that I find myself most attracted to.

Jane: (laughing) He barely graduated high school.

Maura: Bobby Fisher was a high school dropout, and he’s a World-class Chess Champion.

Jane: Okay, so when Tommy becomes a World-class Chess Champion you can sleep with him.

Maura: (excited) Really?!

Jane: No.

(Jane gives instructions about crime scene to uniformed officer)

Officer: Okay. (annoyed) It’s Duncan by the way.

Jane: What?

Officer: My name. Officer Ronald Duncan. (walks away)

Jane: (annoyed to Korsak and Frost) Did I say something wrong?

Korsak: People just like to be acknowledged, Jane. Which reminds me--

Jane: No. (walking around car at scene)

Korsak: Jane. (following Jane around car) Sensitivity Training is mandatory for the entire department and it’s incumbent on me to make sure that you attend. I don’t want to pull rank--

Jane: We’re in the middle of a homicide investigation! I don’t have time to go sit with some emo Nazi and have her tell me what I can or cannot say to all the low lifes, scumbags and gang bangers that I gotta deal with.

Frost: (laughing) Nice.

Jane: (to Frost) You wanna process the crime scene, I’m going to the docks. (to Maura) You, of course, are coming with me.

Maura: (protesting) You know, I’m beginning to think that you are deliberately trying to take me away from my chess game. (raises eyebrows, smiles sweetly)

Jane: (dry, obligingly) Yes, Maura. I am sabotaging your knight to queen castle thingy move. (Maura nods along knowingly) I. drove. you here. (pointing at her car)

Maura: (conceding straight face)

Dock Worker: Hey baby, nice tits.

Jane: Oh yea, we’ve been waiting for you all our lives. (walking away with Maura) What does he think we’re gonna do?! Run over there and tear off his clothes?

Maura: (serious science tone) He’s not thinking naturally at all. It’s a natural chemical response to our pheromones.

Jane: Really? “Nice tits” is a natural, chemical response?

Maura: (smirking, laughing) Perceived fertility is paramount. Males seek mates capable of nursing offspring, abundant breasts do suggest…

Jane: Ya know what his abundant belly suggests?! Snowball’s chance in hell!

Union Rep at Dock: (sleazy approach, checks out JaM) What can I do for you lovely ladies?

Jane: That’s a doctor, I’m a detective and you are?

Union Rep (Murphy): I can tell ya she’s not one of the office girls.

Maura: (smirking) It appears that all the girls here are over the age of 18.

Dock Worker: You’re a cop. That’s a turn off.

Jane: Bummer. Do you recognize her? (holds up picture of girl)

Worker: MJ, yea. She walked off the job half way through her shift yesterday. Affirmative Action hires are bullshit. No muscles, no use.

Maura: Actually male and female muscle tissue is identical. What varies is the size of the male skeletal frame. Men generally have less body fat. (looking worker up and down, smirking) But not always.

Maura: Whatever it is, I won’t be the one forensically interpreting it. I’m calling in Dr. Pike from the Western Mass office.

Korsak: Oh no. Anybody but him! Don’t know what’s worse… his pompous attitude or his OCD.

Jane: That’s very insensitive language, Sergeant Korsak. I’m sure language like that would really hurt Dr. Pike’s feelings. (Korsak concedes, Jane addresses Maura) C’mon, Maur. You don’t have to do this. Alright? The only people who know about your connection to Doyle are us and Frost.

Maura: We may finally be able to prosecute Paddy Doyle for murder. I don’t want to risk a Defense Attorney finding out that he’s my biological father and using it against us in court.

Jane: What are you gonna tell Pike?

Maura: I don’t have to tell him anything. I’m his boss.

Korsak: He’s right ya know. Longshoremen won’t talk. Goes against their code. Remember that line from “Along the Waterfront”? (mock Brando voice) I don’t know nuthin. I ain’t see nuthin and I ain’t sayin nuthin.

Jane: (eyes closed, annoyed) Here’s the deal. I’ll do Sensitivity Training. You don’t do Brando.

Jane: (annoyed to Pike) When will you be STARTING?!

Pike: (coldly) Momentarily. It seems not much stock is placed in the proper placement of instruments here.

Jane: (to Maura) You gonna let him talk to you like that?

Pike: (muttering) This is ridiculous!

Jane: You’re his boss. (nods toward Pike)

Maura: Is there something particular that you require, Doctor?

Pike: Yes. Organization.

Jane: (follows Maura to her office, sees her looking at articles about Paddy) Don’t let that idiot get to you.

Maura: (softly) Can’t fault him for telling the truth. Paddy Doyle is a butcher.

Jane: Paddy Doyle has nothing to do with you.

Maura: He fathered me.

Jane: He simply provided the sperm. (Maura tilting her head, returning to screen) Alright? And judging by the amazing person you turned out to be, his DNA didn’t win.

Maura: I don’t understand the strategy behind this attack.

Jane: Well it’s simple. Doyle is just trying to scare the hell out of anybody who won’t do his bidding at the docks.

Maura: No, I meant Tommy’s (typing) decision to move his rook to B5.

Jane: (walking around desk to see computer) Wait a minute. My little brother is IMing you at the office and sending you little smiley faces and there’s nothing going on between you two?!

Maura: (defensively) Well you and I keep in touch throughout the day.

Jane: It must be my amazing long bones. (elevator dings, Jane goes on high alert, ducking behind Maura) Mm. Ehmh. (darts behind Maura’s office door to hide, Maura looks on confused)

Maura: Wha--

Jane: Ssh!!

Woman: (knocks, then walks into Maura’s office) I hope you can forgive me for my invasion of your personal space. Allow me to introduce myself so we can dialogue. (Jane behind door, rolls her eyes) My name is Carol Madigan, Sensitivity Training Liaison.

Maura: (understanding, smiles and stands) Dr. Maura Isles. (shakes Carol’s hand) How may I help you?

Carol: I’m looking for Detective Rizzoli. Who I’m told is here, although she’s scheduled to be in my Connect, Protect and Respect class. Ya seen her?

Maura: (straight faced, half smile) I believe she is in the building. But, I, uh, don’t see her, right now. (smiling)

Carol: (seriously) Tell her I’m lookin for her.

Korsak: (walking into Maura’s office from lab) Where’s Jane?

Jane: (coming out from behind door) You sick (Korsak jumps, hand quickly goes to his hip then down) that sensitivity freak on me?!

Maura: (laughing) Freak?! Maybe you do need sensitivity training.

Jane: (sarcastically sweet) Great work, Sergeant Detective Korsak. I think we should investigate, but what do you think? (Korsak rolls his eyes, Maura smiles)

(Maura at her desk, smiling, looking at computer screen)

Pike: Dr. Isles?

Maura: Yes?

Pike: (holding up petri dish) Discovered in the victim’s stomach contents. Micro SD card.

Maura: (looking at petri dish) It’s from a camera.

Pike: Video, my guess. Must have swallowed it just before she was killed. And I bet Paddy Doyle wanted it.

Maura: (annoyed) That sounds very much like an assumption.

Pike: Think there’s a drug deal on it? (tapping dish, Maura looks up wide-eyed, annoyed) A murder?

Maura: (slowly) I don’t know. Nor is it within our purview to guess. (hands dish back to Pike, returns to her chair) Please take this to Detective Frost up in Homicide.

Pike: Arguably the most important find against a notorious mobster and I’ll be credited with it all because you needed help. Funny, huh?

Maura: (tight lipped, annoyed, sighs) Good night, Doctor. (leaves, Pike hesitates, eyes Maura’s chair, starts to sit down, Maura returns) Please don’t sit in my chair. (gives stern look, leaves again)

Maura: (seductively, smooth) I’m very intrigued by the assertiveness of your play.

Tommy: (smiling, smoothly) Just givin what I’m getting.

Maura: (smirks, moves a chess piece, looks up seductively) And what does that tell you?

(Someone breaks through door behind Tommy; Tommy jumps up and goes to Maura)

Man: (yelling) He needs a doctor! (pointing gun at Tommy and Maura) Now!

Tommy: My god, that’s Paddy Doyle.

Maura: (angry) I know who he is.

Paddy: He your boyfriend?

Maura: (angry, cold) You’re holding me hostage. You think you have any right to ask me personal questions?!

Tommy: (brining water and towels to Maura) How the hell do you know this guy anyway?

(Maura and Paddy exchange glance)

Paddy: I’m her father.

Jane: (seeing Officer Duncan walk in) Oh yay. Officer helpful is back. (to Duncan) Hey, thanks for bringing that up. A battery probably isn’t going to help with the investigation so you can just take that down to evidence.

Duncan: (annoyed, slams battery onto desk, Jane looks up) It’s not in my job description to bust my balls for Homicide. (leaves)

Jane: (to Korsak) Why doesn’t HE have to take sensitivity training?

Korsak: He already did.

Jane: Works wonders.

Jane: So you coulda been a Longshoreman?

Korsak: More than that (mock Brando voice) I coulda been a contender.

Jane: Stop. (walks away)

Korsak: (following, still mocking Brando) Instead of a bum, which is what I am.

(Paddy passed out on Maura’s couch; Tommy and Maura restrained at table)

Tommy: You alright?

Maura: (breathless) Fine.

Tommy: So were you adopted or something?

Maura: Yes.

Tommy: How long’d you know you were related to him?

Maura: Not long. (looks down to chess game) Bishop to D7 captures the rook. Check.

Tommy: It’s okay. We don’t need to talk about it.

Paddy: You look a lot like your mother.

Maura: Who is my mother?

Paddy: You would like her. She would like you.

Maura: Did she love you?

Paddy: She did. But you would still like her.

Dock Worker: Oh! Look who’s back! Bet you want somea’ this! (grabs crotch)

Korsak: Oh get your hands off your junk! This Detective here’s a lady! (Jane smirks at Korsak) What?!

Jane: (southern Belle voice) Thank you, kind sir, for defending my honor.

Korsak: No, I merely defended an individual who happens to be female from an inappropriate harasser who happens to be male.

(Dock Worker comes up behind Jane, grabs her ass)

Jane: (angry, grabbing hand on her ass) Who’s hand is this?! Because I found it on my ASS.

Worker: I got one more where that came from.

Jane: (seductively) Do you?

Worker: Yes.

Jane: Cause here’s what I got… (twists his arm, brings him to his knees)

Worker: Hey! Let go! Freaking lezzie.

Korsak: What the hell happened?!

Jane: (calmly) What? He grabbed my ass.

Korsak: This scumbag had the nerve to put his filthy hands on you?!

Worker: Just one.

Korsak: (cuffing worker) That’s all I need to take you in, you dumb son-of-a-bitch.

Jane: (seeing Pike arrive at new crime scene) Aww what the hell is Pike doing here?!

Pike: Detectives.

Jane: Where’s Dr. Isles?

Pike: I have no idea, nor do I understand your question’s relevance given our nearly identical credentials.

Jane: Just tell us what you’re doin here.

Pike: Dr. Isles was, unreachable.

Jane: (fearful, to Frost) Frost.

Frost: Yea, I got it. Go.

(Jane runs off scene)

Pike: It’s discrimination pure and simple. Governor felt he needed to “appoint a woman”. Once again I’m penalized for being a white male.

Frost: (gives him a look) Don’t even. (walks away)

(Maura’s cell phone ringing)

Maura: That’s probably Jane.

Paddy: Let it go. (Goon helping him off the couch)

Maura: Why did you even come here?! You could have paid off any number of doctors for treatment.

Paddy: But they wouldn’t have been you.

Maura: (angry) Is that supposed to warm my heart? Because it DOESN’T. I’ve seen what you’re capable of. I saw what you did to that young woman.

Paddy: I didn’t do anything to her. I don’t kill women, or children, or anyone who doesn’t deserve it.

Maura: (angry) So even you have standards?!

Paddy: Regardless of what you think of me, Maura. In my world, I’m a man of honor, and of my word. I’m being framed. (walking toward door)

Maura: (considering, responds coldly) I don’t believe you.

Paddy: You’re the Chief Medical Examiner. Use your science. It will tell you if I’m guilty or not. (leaving)

Maura: Where you going?

Paddy: To finish what someone else started.

(Jane enters Maura’s open front door, gun out)

Maura: Jane!

Jane: Where is he? Where’s Doyle?

Maura: Gone! 15 minutes ago.

Jane: (puts gun away, grabs scissors) Paddy was shot, right?

Maura: A bullet through his clavicle. He lost a lot of blood but his injuries weren’t life threatening. (Jane cuts Tommy and Maura’s arms free) How’d you know?

Jane: Because I just came from a crime scene where his top Lieutenant wasn’t so lucky. (cuts legs free)

Maura: Do you know what happened?

Jane: No, but for Paddy Doyle to take a bullet. Someone he trusted must’ve given him up. (looking around house) God it looks like an ER in here!

Tommy: (angry) Maura had to fix him at gunpoint.

Maura: He told me that the shooting was over business.

Jane: So what? (still squatting in front of Maura) So Melissa’s murder was under the category of pleasure?

Maura: No, he denied the killing. He says somebody was trying to frame him. (Jane looks to Tommy) That he doesn’t kill women or children or innocents.

Jane: Of course he told you that, Maura. He’s not going to confess to the one person in the world who he gives a damn about.

(Maura is visibly upset: leans back, closes her eyes and puts her head in her hand, gets up, takes a few steps, hands on hips)

Tommy: A Mob Boss like Paddy Doyle couldn’t rule the streets this long just on fear. He lives by a code that’s why he has respect.

Jane: (annoyed, getting up) You finished?

Tommy: He has a heart, Jane. (angry) I’m serious. You didn’t see the way he looked at her. (Jane walks to Maura, rubs her back) He may be a bad guy but he loves his daughter.

Jane: (seeing Duncan with more evidence) Oh, God. Can somebody please sign for this?!

Frost: And torture the poor guy?! He’s here for you Jane.

Jane: (disbelief, defensive) No he’s not.

Korsak: Oh yes he is.

Jane: This guy hates me. I’ll show you. (turning around to Duncan, smiles)

Duncan: (avoiding eye contact) On your desk, Rizzoli?

Jane: Uh, no. I’ll take it, but thank you, (takes box) very much. Officer Duncan. (smiling) Thanks.

Duncan: (smiling) Actually, this is kinda heavy. (grabs end of box back) I can take it down to Evidence for ya if you want.

Jane: It’s okay. (smiling, pulling box back, Duncan and Jane struggle over box) I got it. Thank you. (turns back to her desk, he doesn’t move, turns back smiling) Thank you. (Duncan walks into board as he turns to leave)

Korsak: (laughing) See?!

Frost: (laughing) Love.

Jane: Stop. Shut up.

Maura: Dr. Pike. I looked through your report on Melissa Joy Black. I didn’t see a reference to an examination of the victim’s teeth or gums.

Pike: Cause of Death was quite clear, as is my report. (packing his belongings) I didn’t feel the need to floss her bones.

Maura: Specifically I am concerned about the post mortem bruising around the victim’s mouth. (opens file to show) Here and here.

Pike: Mhm. Which I noted on page 27.

Maura: (smiling, annoyed) But, um it suggests that the perpetrator applied force against the victim’s mouth during the attack.

Pike: And what’s your point?

Maura: Detective Rizzoli’s investigation indicated that this was a very brave young woman; going undercover on her own.

Pike: I don’t make my rulings based on a victim’s personality traits. (grabs suitcase to leave)

Maura: (moving to block his path, smiling) Neither do I. But I would consider such a woman may have bitten her killer. I want to see the body.

Pike: Already released to the funeral home per her family’s request. (starts to leave again)

Maura: (angry) Without my approval?!

Pike: I’m a Medical Examiner too.

Maura: (angry) No you are an ASSISTANT Medical Examiner. You work for me, Dr. Pike.

Pike: It figures that someone like you would try and pull rank. I went to Harvard, ya know that.

Maura: (stepping toward Pike, raised finger, angry) Shut it! Or I will assign you to a town that will make Western Mass feel like Paris. You have one hour to get that body back. Understand?!

Pike: Yes, Doctor.

(Maura gives him annoyed look, walks away)

Jane: (to Dock Worker) Nice moobs.

Korsak: Moobs?

Jane: Yea, man boobs.

Jane: (swatting Korsak) That’s why you been all over this?! So you could get an extra day off?!

Korsak: I also happen to feel very strongly about the teaching of tolerance.

Carol: Really?! Because I just got out of a half hour meeting with Mr. Dwyer who’s lodging a formal complaint about the abusive treatment he received while in custody. Did you tell Mr. Dwyer. he had moobs?

Jane: (glancing at smirking Korsak) Yes. Yes I did. And, I am completely ashamed by the cruelty of my words. (look of disbelief from Korsak) It was inappropriate, and unkind and insensitive. No charges will be filed, Mr. Dwyer, and, and I do hope that you can accept my sincerest apologies.

Dock Worker/Dwyer: (shrugging, confused) I, I guess so.

Jane: I do have every intention of completing my Sensitivity Training ASAP.

Carol: Thank you, Detective.

Jane: Now, if you’ll excuse us we are in pursuit of a suspect.

Carol: Oh, of course.

Jane: (on elevator with Korsak) Take care.

Korsak: Quite a performance.

Jane: Incredibly sensitive, dontcha think? (smirking)

Jane: Hey Ma! How was your trip?

Angela: (unpacking suitcase in kitchen) Aw, I lost 85 bucks on the nickel slots. But look at all this really great stuff I got! (gesturing to stuff on island)

Angela: Hey! Anybody need a robe?! (Maura raises eyebrows, shakes head)

Jane: Ma. (grabbing airplane bottle of liquor) Did you take this from the little fridge?

Angela: They refill it, Jane.

Jane: This isn’t free, Ma. They’re gonna charge your credit card.

Angela: (annoyed) I paid $109 a night for that room. (Jane rubs her temples) Really?! I’m gonna send it back.

Jane: (holding up certificate) Four hours of Sensitivity Training, and I passed with flying colors.

Maura: (laughs) Congratulations.

Tommy: Learn anything?

Jane: Yes. I am an equal opportunity offender.

Angela: (holding up hair dryer) Okay, are they gonna charge me for this?!

(Maura laughs in the background)

Jane: (answers ringing cell) Hello?

Paddy Doyle: Detective Rizzoli.

Jane: How did you get this number?

Paddy: I’m one of the new guys compared to this new way of doing business. (Maura stands, walks to Jane to listen to call) I know you know that.

Jane: I’m not sure I do. Where are you?

Paddy: You know I’m not telling you.

Jane: Well that’s too bad. Why don’t you tell me about Melissa Joy Black?

Paddy: Back when I ran the docks, we didn’t kill women, or hurt hard working people like her father Richie. (shows Richie’s other daughter opening an envelope filled with cash)

Jane: That was ruled an accident.

Paddy: Yea. Check the DNA on the blood/alcohol test they said was Richie’s. Take care of my daughter.

Maura: I can take care of myself. (to Jane) Hang up.

Jane: I do think he loves you.

Maura: Doesn’t mean I have to love him back.

Angela: (yelling) What happened to the door?!

Jane: Tommy forgot his keys.

Angela: Tommy, you know better than that!

Jane: (walking to Tommy and Maura’s chess game) Uh, I might make a suggestion. (moves chess pieces, smirks) Checkmate.

Maura: (approaches, surprised) You know how to play chess?!

Jane: Yea. Who’dya think taught him? Tommy’s not the only Rizzoli with a beautiful mind.
