Up in BRIC

Korsak: Yep, that's Ronnie the sexter, alright, driving out of his business's garage at 7:58. Nice work, Frankie.

Jane: What's so nice about it? It just confirms the guy's story.

Korsak: Frankie's good at this. He's got more.

Frankie: Wait for it.

Jane: And we're waiting for what? A 21-gun salute because you did a little Detective work?

Frankie: I'm doing a lot of detecting work for someone who just got his gold badge.

Jane: Hmm, I think I detect some whining.

Frankie: This is from a security camera across the street from Montgomery's office building.

Jane: Wow. So, we get to watch him drive out from a different angle.

Frankie: You know what I love about you? You're always so up-beat and supportive.

Korsak: You see that? Ron Montgomery pulls up in front just as Victoria, victim number one, leaves the building.

Frankie: Yeah, then they argue right here.

Frost: Hmm. He's got some game. Looks like she's giving in.

Frankie: And getting in his car.

Nina: So Ron Montgomery's not only a cheater. He's also a liar.

With Ron in Interrogation

Ron: Look, when I heard that Victoria was dead, I-I didn't want to be involved.

Nina: Oh, okay. No worries. You're not involved. You were the last one seen with a woman who was found with her skull bashed in. We're so sorry to bother you.

Frost: How about her? Were you not involved with her, either?

Ron: What are you doing? I-I don't even know who that is. I didn't do that.

Nina: Why were you fighting with Victoria the night she was murdered?

Ron: She found out that I'm not really separated. And I was giving her a ride home, trying to explain, but she was so upset. She made me pull over near Allendale circle and she got out of the car, and that's the last time that I saw her.

Frost: That's miles from where Victoria lived. And then where'd you go?

Ron: The Blue Tassel. Uh, I was there I was there till closing. Ask the bartender, Ned.

Nina: Make yourself comfortable. We'll be back.

They walk out.

In BRIC-Watching Security Video

Nina: There she goes. Not sure how far, though. Look at those heels.

Korsak walks in.

Korsak: Bartender confirms Ronnie boy was there till 2:00 in the morning.

Frankie: Hey, wait. Look. She took a bus.

Nina: I think our bus theory is back.

Korsak: I checked the backgrounds on all the bus drivers, but I think I'll go have a face-to-face with that one.

On the Street With the Bus Driver

Nina: You remember her?

Driver: She's the girl on the news. Always got on at Forest Hills, but the other night, I picked her up on Allendale.

Korsak: Where were you two nights ago?

Driver: Got pulled off my route at 10:00 to fill in on the 117 bus in East Boston. Worked until 1:00 in the morning. You can check.

Nina: Thank you.

Rondo: Hello, 5-0.

Korsak: Angela's guardians?

Rondo: Mrs.Vanilla takes good care of us, - so when she put out the call -

Korsak: Uh, call? What call?

Rondo: To protect the young women of the city, make the buses safe again.

Nina: Why is Janes mother in the middle of everything? (her cellphone vibrates) Maura's found something big.
Just be safe.
