Kevin Rankin: Roe Saunders

Quotes 

• Roe Saunders : Vic's name is Miles Novak. He's 19, sophomore. There was a party going on outside his door, but nobody heard nothing.

  Al Burns : Who found him?

  Roe Saunders : His roommate hooked up, brought a girl back a little after 5:00. They're going at it, then boom, dead body.

  Carrie Wells : Well, that'll ruin the mood.

• Nina Inara : I've got patrol getting statements from the students on the floor, and doing a room-to-room search.

  Carrie Wells : [spotting a surveillance camera]  Any chance we get lucky?

  Nina Inara : Yeah, I'll get, uh, video and the log. The university president is on the way over. She wants to know if this is an isolated event or if she should warn the student body about a violent predator.

  Al Burns : We don't even know what we're looking at yet. How'd she get to "violent predator"?

  Roe Saunders : It's all over Twitter that there's a homicidal maniac loose in the dorms.

  Carrie Wells : Oh, well, if it's all over Twitter, it must be true.

  Roe Saunders : [simultaneously, sarcastic]  It must be true.

• Mike Costello : Miles Novak. He's a local from Briarwood. He's a mechanical engineering major on a scholarship.

  Al Burns : Where are his parents?

  Mike Costello : Deceased. Car accident his junior year of high school. He filed for emancipation, was making his own way.

  Al Burns : Was there an insurance settlement?

  Roe Saunders : He's got 80 grand in a trust.

  Al Burns : So money could be a motive. Maybe somebody already in his life who knows about the nest egg.

  Roe Saunders : Yeah, it's gonna be a short list. Students on his floor all said Miles was socially awkward, no close friends. A real loner.

  Al Burns : He have a job?

  Mike Costello : He did some I.T. work. You know, fixed computers, set up WiFi systems. But it was strictly word of mouth.

  Roe Saunders : Did you learn anything from his desktop computer?

  Mike Costello : He favored "RuneQuest" over "World of Warcraft".

• Nina Inara : All right, Miles' student ID was used at a library vending machine half an hour after he died.

  Al Burns : We got a name?

  Nina Inara : Yeah. University HR says he's Jack Brogan, but I ran his prints through ViCAP, and meet...

  [pulling up a rap sheet] 

  Nina Inara : ...Jack Healy of South Boston. Parole officer lost track of him two years ago.

  Roe Saunders : Bank fraud, identity theft, larceny, and aggravated assault. Sounds like a con man who graduated to violence.

• Al Burns : Where are we at?

  Roe Saunders : I checked the frat's books. There's a lot of cash moving in and out of their accounts.

  Al Burns : Could they be laundering drug money?

  Roe Saunders : It's possible.

  Al Burns : How about bad apples at the fraternity?

  Mike Costello : Nothing. According to campus police, there haven't been any drug busts involving Omega Rho members.

  Al Burns : Okay. So I got an "it's possible" and a "nothing." It's not gonna get us a warrant.

• Al Burns : We find any drugs at the frat house?

  Roe Saunders : Couple of misdemeanor bags of weed.

  Al Burns : How about Colin?

  Roe Saunders : We got the locals sitting on his family's place in Connecticut. Tried tracking his cell. No luck.

  Carrie Wells : Come on, he's not Pablo Escobar. It can't be that hard to track him down.

• Nina Inara : Four Omega Rhos have admitted that they went to Toronto with plane tickets Colin got for them.

  Al Burns : They admit to transporting drugs?

  Nina Inara : Not yet. Right now, they're all saying they were helping him import t-shirts.

  Roe Saunders : It's kind of tough to put a crewneck up your nose.

  Carrie Wells : [remembering the party]  Maybe not so tough. There was a drug bust last year at Newark. Liquid cocaine from Honduras. They soaked these canvas tents in cocaine. Now, I saw Colin lose it on one of his frat brothers. He was wearing a t-shirt with a maple leaf on the front. What if they soaked the t-shirts in cocaine?

  Al Burns : Maybe they sent Miles to pick up a load of shirts, he realized what was going on.

  Roe Saunders : No. If he figured it out up there, there's no way that kid's gonna risk bringing 'em back.

  Nina Inara : The DEA replied to his e-mail, told him to call in, but he never did, so they don't have them.

  Carrie Wells : Okay, so there could be a bag stuffed with drug-soaked t-shirts just sitting in the lost and found at the airport.

  Al Burns : Hold on a second. How do you get the drugs out of the shirts?

  Roe Saunders : You rinse it in a mix of water and industrial cleaner, then you heat it up to burn off the liquid. Residual powder would be pure cocaine.

  [seeing their looks] 

  Roe Saunders : What? I read.
