KATE: I wish I could be more help.

ANGEL: It’s okay. Just knowing the kind of things that didn’t happen is a help. You know, eliminating the possibilities.

KATE: Now you’re talking like a detective.

ANGEL: I am a detective.

KATE: Well, you see the thing about detectives is they have resumes and business licenses and last names. Pop stars and popes, those are the one-name guys.

ANGEL: You got me. I’m a pope.

DAVIS: Here you go. (hands Kate a folder)

KATE: Davis you are beautiful! Thank you. Let’s take a look.

ANGEL: Jeez, I wasn’t sure you had records that old.

KATE: Neither was I. Let’s see. Maude Pearson. There was an investigation into the death. Okay, this guy, Detective Randall, he thought the death was suspicious. The M.E. called it a heart attack, but it seems like there were problems with the son. He was – Dennis Pearson. He lived with her. They argued a lot.

ANGEL: What about?

KATE: A girl. His fiancé. Mom didn’t like her. And Dennis skips town with her the day that mom drops dead – what a coincidence. The cops never caught him.

ANGEL: Unavenged murder.

KATE: Sounds like.

ANGEL: There haven’t been any deaths in the same apartment since then.

KATE: You saw me check. No murders, not even domestic dispute calls.

ANGEL: Not murders, suicides. There’s a kind of – a kind of killer that does that.

KATE: Makes it look like a suicide. You know there are always signs.

ANGEL: There.

KATE: Margo Dressner – 1959 – and Jenny Kim 1965 – Natalie Davis five years ago. All in the same apartment. This doesn’t make sense.

ANGEL: I got to make a call.
