Back At BPD-Autopsy Room

Maura is staring at the body when Jane walks in.

Maura: We have the same nasal and zygomatic facial structuring. There's also similar patterns in our supraorbital foramen and the angle of our jaw line. You see?

Jane: I do see the resemblance.

Maura: I don't know why I'm being so emotional about this,now that I know we're related. I...I never knew him. I never will. I...

Jane walks to her.

Jane: Maura, if this is too much for you... Here you should have this.

She hands her the book of drawings.

Maura: No, it's evidence. You have to put that back.

Jane: I made copies. And I know where they are if I need them. Keep it for now.

Maura: Really?

Jane: Yeah. Here.

She puts it on the table for Maura to look at.

Maura: Monet used to paint the same thing over and over. You know, sat in the same place day after day, painted the same view---He's drawing the same view.

Jane: Yeah, that's-that's a building, isn't it.

Maura: Yeah, and he's drawing it throughout the day. You see how the light changes?

Jane: MM-HMM. And he's drawing it...day after day, because...this is where he lives.

Maura gets on the computer.

Maura: His drawings are precisely to scale. So with a little trigonometry and some spherical geometry...

Jane: We can figure out what it is he's drawing.

Buildings pop up on the screen.

Jane: Oh, that's the financial district.

A building pops up.

Jane: There. That's state street.
