Past Tense (2013)

Jane Curtin: Joanne Webster

Quotes 

• Carrie Wells : I see you're settling in.

  Joanne Webster : Seems like I never left these burial grounds. Well, you're glowing. Looks like Manhattan agrees with you.

  Carrie Wells : Oh, yeah, well, it's a whole different world, you know?

  Joanne Webster : Oh, it is indeed. The Manhattan dead are a much better class of cadaver. I just autopsied a hedge fund manager, and his arteries still reeked of porterhouse.

• Joanne Webster : The bullet was from a nine-millimeter. The projectile entered and hit the spinal column and fragmented. I noted a slight downward trajectory. There were no defensive wounds, uh, which means he either knew his killer and exited the cab voluntarily, or he was taken out at gunpoint.

  Carrie Wells : If there was no struggle, why the bruise on the forehead?

  Joanne Webster : Now, that was odd, because it's not blunt-force trauma in the strictest sense of the word.

  Carrie Wells : Well, what... what do you mean?

  Joanne Webster : The injury was uniform, so it wasn't from the butt of a gun or pipe or anything like that.

  Carrie Wells : [remembering the crime scene and the arrest of the two suspects]  Could he have hit his head on the side of the cab?

  Joanne Webster : You mean a face-plant?

  Carrie Wells : Yeah. Let's say Sajadi is on his knees, hands behind his head. They shoot him, it propels him forward, he hits his head on the cab.

  Joanne Webster : That could cause the injuries, yeah.

  Carrie Wells : If I'm right, the position he was in is part of an American military detention protocol. Why would terrorists waste time detaining him? They would've just shot him right in the cab.

  Joanne Webster : So you're saying the killer had some sort of military training?

  Carrie Wells : I'm saying whoever it is knew enough to have Sajadi lift his shirt so they could check him for explosives. I think our guy's a soldier.
