天啊，Billie，你冇事呀？你撞咗啲乜嘢？
BRASS：所以，根據個女仔講，一分鐘前佢仲喺泥濘度飛馳緊，玩得好開心，乜都好好，轉頭佢就倒吊喺地下，望住啲化學廢料。佢叫咗有害物質處理組。而家知道唔係有毒嘅。佢哋見到個桶開始變形，以為會爆炸，所以就打開咗。唉。係，嘩。 （咳）WILLOWS：肥皂木乃伊。BRASS：係。GRISSOM：屍蠟，又叫殮房蠟。當脂肪組織喺鹼性環境同有限氧氣下分解，就會形成呢樣嘢。只需要少少水份同足夠時間。厭氧細菌消化身體脂肪，將佢哋轉化成一種蠟狀固體。就好似整植物牛油咁。我以後可能唔會再食薯條。你覺得佢喺入面幾耐？你點知係男人？五、六個星期，最少。你點知係男人？五、六個星期，最少。唉，呢度咁大風同天氣，任何棄置嘅證據都冇晒。我哋有證據。簽晒名，封好晒，送達晒。

ROBBINS：兩位先生，皂化現象最常見於嬰兒墓葬。因為佢哋身體脂肪較多，而且腸道菌群未完全發育。慢慢...停手。嗯。睇下呢個。留俾Catherine嘅小禮物。
好，我哋將剩低嘅拎出嚟。歷史上，保持到身體特徵嘅皂化屍體，被視為唔會腐爛，甚至係聖潔嘅。所以，當呢啲情況發生喺細路仔身上，就更加強咗呢個概念。遞隻腳俾我，好嗎？好。（作嘔聲）有趣嘅係，因為福爾馬林係鹼性，而美國棺材係密封嘅，所以而家呢個國家有更多屍體變成肥皂，比人類歷史上任何時期都多。事實上，我哋係世界嘅屍蠟之都。美國，我哋係第一。（響號聲）BROWN：你講真㗎？David唔見咗具屍體？成日都有嘅。我以前喺明尼阿波利斯做嘢嗰陣，同一日有兩個John Smith送嚟。送錯咗一個返加拿大。總之，我哋嗰具屍體仲喺停屍間。David終於處理好佢嘅十指卡。個男人叫Keith Mercer。佢幾時入嚟？11日前。喺Fremont附近一條後巷嘅垃圾堆旁邊發現佢。11日前。我諗我哋冇犯罪現場要處理啦，係咪？最初，警察以為佢係露宿者。佢冇沖涼，冇銀包、手錶或鎖匙，而且小腿有疤痕。呢度仲有一條靚嘅裂傷，左邊太陽穴有瘀傷。係，死因係頭部鈍力創傷。BROWN：可能係意外。可能係好多嘢。
冇背景嘅證據最多只係含糊不清。
你有冇劈過柴，劈開過木頭？我見過人做。你應該試下。我覺得好放鬆。嗯。呢度嘅打擊係用類似方式造成嘅。顳骨被擊中，大力向下壓。上顎碎裂。大部分牙齒冇咗。隻腳呢？似乎係被切斷咗。係，被啲又快又勁嘅嘢切斷。工業意外？唔係，工業意外係好亂嘅。呢啲切口太乾淨。我估，一次撞擊。咁斧頭呢？有可能。我會倒模啲工具痕跡。山中間嘅桶入面有屍體。如果個頭同手唔見咗，我會話係黑幫仇殺。嗯，可能係儀式性肢解或戀物殺人。所以，用牙齒紀錄確認身份係冇可能。啱。DNA呢？骨髓可能仲用得。我都係咁諗。首選樣本係大骨連關節部分，然後我哋冷凍、研磨同排序。想要胸定大腿？係你嘅廚房。

Did you touch or move this statue at any time in the last ten days? Keith hated that thing. He was always trying to toss it. When I came home, I found it on the floor. I thought he'd put it there. I found it in the hall closet, in the garage. I even found it in the car once. It was like a game for us.
Look, I came to you. You guys have been giving me the runaround for over a week. Could you tell us what you kept in this box?
We inherited a coin collection, and we figured... we'd save it for a rainy day.

Hmm. Hold it. Bingo.
Ring belongs to you, Brian. You must have dropped it when you stuffing your buddy's corpse into a barrel. ( panting ) BRASS: Here's the way this is gonna play out. This is the best-case scenario. We arrest you for murder. The, uh, the jury likes your face, and, uh, you get man one. Then you get to spend the next 15 years staring at your wife and kid through a wire glass window. Maybe if you're lucky, uh... when you get out, you can take her to the prom.
( crying ) She's gonna be so proud of her daddy.
It was an accident. You want a tissue or something? No.

Hey. Hey, Brian. If it was an accident, why didn't you report it? It was my fault. I was, I was so scared. You disposed of the body. Cleaned up the scene, dismantled the bot, and sold the parts.

Now, Warrick mentioned something about a missing coin collection. Now, some dealers-- bad ones-- use sulfur to, uh, polish up coins for sale.
Shake and bake.
So I figure that your killer is either a coin dealer or a collector. And he transferred the sulfur to the body when disposing of it. Are you a numismatist, Greg? Oh, my grandpa started me off with a 1909 V.D.B. "S" Lincoln penny. Often referred to as a V.D.B. because it bears the monogram of its engraver, Victor D. Brenner. It's a low mintage.

I've only seen that in books. And that's as close as you get. If you want to deal for the "D" dime, it's yours. I'll take it.
The bot was on a different control frequency, which means someone was using a different transmitter. WILLOWS: Puppet master. Somebody else pulling the strings. That would explain why the bot was sluggish. CUTLER: I think she's sick, Brian. KELSO: Ah-- Maybe something's jammed.
So, what's the range of those controllers anyway? It's limited. Definitely not outside this building. So, if somebody hijacked Brian's bot, they'd have to be nearby, but... obviously, out of sight.
