Parker & Lane: Criminal Justice/Chapter Six

This is the sixth and final chapter of Parker & Lane: Criminal Justice, where a place for the final catch!

## Level 51

* Parker: Daisy, can you do me a favor?
* Daisy: Uh-huh!
* Parker: Can you remember what your daddy was looking at before he left?
* Daisy: Ummm... some photos, I think. But not of mommy, like normal.
* Parker: Can you remember what the photos looked like? Were there some people in them?
* Daisy: A boy! I saw a boy in them!
* Daisy: He had long yellow hair! And... someone painted on him!
* Parker: Someone painted on him? Like... oh! Like a tattoo!
* Daisy: What's a tattoo?
* Parker: Lane circled Justin's barcode tattoo... he was on to something.
* Parker: Daisy, is there someone here to watch you?
* Daisy: Uh-huh! My babysitter Mindy's watching TV in the other room! She always watches the most BORING shows.
* Parker: Okay. You stay here with the babysitter then, Daisy. Stay right here with Mindy, okay?
* Daisy: But I want to come with you! Or... or make more pancakes!
* Parker: Not right now little Daisy. But we'll make pancakes together someday soon, I promise.
* Parker leaves his place.

### Outro

* Bucket and Stella arrive at Police Station.
* Parker: Bucket, I need a favor.
* Bucket: Anything for a lady as lovely as you, Lily.
* Parker: That's enough of that. Just run this barcode for me, see where the package was delivered.
* Bucket: You mean the barcode that does tattooed on himself? Who does that?
* Parker: That's what you're going to tell me.
* Parker: Stella, I need another antidote. Another 'GUILTY' sign shows up today, at Lane's apartment.
* Lane: Then we'd better save him! I'm on it, Parker.

## Level 52

* Stella gives an antidote to Parker, and Bucket gives her an address.
* Stella: Here's the antidote!
* Bucket: And the address! The barcode is 8 years old, and matches a university building.
* Parker: There's no time to lose. I'll be back.
* Stella: Good luck Lily!
* Bucket: Be careful!
* Parker is now leaving the Police Station and heading to the medical university department.
* Parker explores the university.
* Parker: This university is enormous! How am I supposed to find anything here?
* Parker: Well, this is the address... But the whole building looks abandoned...
* Parker talks to the janitor.
* Parker: Excuse me, but can you tell me if I've got the right place? It's for an investigation.
* Janitor lady: This is the place alright. There's nothing here any more, though.
* Janitor lady: The owners only moved out recently though. You can take a look around if you'd like.
* Janitor lady: You can find the building's records in the office right up the hall.
* Parker keeps exploring.

### Outro

* Parker looks around.
* Parker: Aha! So this is the Department of Medicine.
* Parker: Or it was, anyway.
* Parker walks around.
* Parker: But how do I find out who this package was sent to? 8 years is a long time...
* Parker: I need some more information. I'd better take a look around.
* Meanwhile upstairs, Lane is kidnapped.
* So is this the part of the story where you tell me your evil plan?
* Charlotte: This is the part of the story where you die, Victor Lane.
* Charlotte: The poison should be entering your bloodstream right about now...

## Level 53

* Parker looks at the computer.
* Parker: DPM... What does that stand for?
* Parker: A department, probably. Department of Pharmaceutical Medicine?
* Parker: No, that can't be it.
* Parker: Department of Psychological Medicine! DPM, that's it!
* Parker: So this package must have been for a psychology student!
* Parker: The clock's ticking... I'd better unravel this mystery - and fast.
* Parker gets to work.

### Outro

* Parker: Everything here seems to be addressed to the professors, not the students.
* Parker: That should really narrow this down.
* Parker: Hey, I know this name. Charlotte DeWitt...
* Parker: Why does that sound so familiar?
* Parker: Oh! Charlotte was Justin's prison psychiatrist!
* Parker: Finally, a lead! Let's see where it takes us.
* Parker: I just realized why I need a partner...
* Parker: When I don't have one, I talk to myself out loud like a crazy person...
* Parker doesn't mind being crazy and laughs.
* Parker: Maybe I'm right where I belong, here in the Department of Psychological Medicine.

## Level 54

* Parker: Charlotte DeWitt, PhD. Graduated in the top 5% of her class.
* Parker: Made Assistant Professor at age 26, the youngest professor in the department.
* Parker: Well aren't you a clever girl, Charlotte.
* Parker: A background in psychology, psychiatry and chemistry.
* Parker: Charlotte published quite a few papers on psychological disorders and the impact of various chemicals on the brain.
* Parker: So what does all of this have to do with Justin? And why did he tattoo this barcode to his body?
* Parker: And how did Charlotte end up as a prison psychiatrist?

### Outro

* Continued...
* Parker: 5 years ago, Justin Hall was convicted of transporting drugs.
* Parker: A few weeks later, Charlotte DeWitt quit her job at the university, despite being incredibly successful.
* Parker: She ends up working at the exact same prison where Justin Hall is locked up.
* Parker doesn't mind that.
* Parker: That can't be a coincidence... I'm so close, I can feel it. What am I missing here?
* Parker: Why would Charlotte be so interested in some criminal?

## Level 55

* Parker: Look at this photo! It's Charlotte and Justin, together at a party...
* Parker: They're both showing off matching tattoos.
* Parker: Tattoos of the same barcode! Strange...
* Parker: Why would they get a tattoo of a barcode?
* Officer 1: Hey, we should get matching tattoos!
* Officer 2: Yeah! Mine could say, umm...
* Officer 1: Uhh...
* Parker: 'Umm' and 'Uhh' sounds about right for you two.
* Parker: Wait a second... Justin was a truck driver. Maybe he delivered something to Charlotte!
* Parker: What if that was their first meeting? Maybe they fell in love, and the tattoo is sentimental!
* Parker: It's kind of romantic, actually... A permanent reminder of love at first sight!
* Parker: It explains everything! Why Charlotte left her job to work at the prison...
* Parker: I need to talk to Charlotte DeWitt again.
* One officer goes to checkout, and the other leaves the room.

### Outro

* Parker answers the call.
* Vasquez: Chief Vasquez.
* Parker: Vasquez, I need you to send a unit to Charlotte DeWitt's house.
* Vasquez: Wait, why's Charlotte DeWitt?
* Parker: A prison psychiatrist I spoke with after we found Justin Hall's body.
* Vasquez: What does she have to with all this?
* Parker: Long story. Just trust me, send a unit down to pick her up.
* Vasquez: Fine - but I'll need you to come back to the station and explain what you found.
* Parker: No, I need to finish looking around here. Lane may be in danger.
* Vasquez: You're as stubborn as your father, you know that?
* Parker: When I put my mind to something...
* Vasquez: I'll update you once the officers bring Charlotte in.
* Parker: Thanks, Vasquez.

## Level 56

**NOTE: Adult language has censored due to film safety reasons.**

* Parker: Look at all these academic papers...
* Parker: Charlotte was a hard worker.
* Parker: "Caging the innocent: the destructive psychological effects of wrongful imprisonment"
* Parker: This was written just last year...
* Parker: She must know something about Justin's case.
* Parker: She must have believed he was innocent.
* Parker: She clearly loved him... Enough to leave her entire life behind.
* Parker: I think we just found ourselves a new prime suspect.

### Outro

* Parker answers the call again.
* Parker: Parker.
* Vasquez: Charlotte DeWitt isn't at home, Parker. Looks like she's been gone a while. Months, maybe.
* Parker: [beep].
* Vasquez: Is she dangerous?
* Parker: I can't say for sure, but she's extremely smart. And she has a motive.
* Vasquez: Report, detective. What did you find?
* Parker: All these cases are linked, Vasquez. Justin Hall's murder, the Sunshine pills, Madsen, Logan, and Senator Walsh.
* Parker: And somehow, I think Charlotte DeWitt is now at the center of it.
* Vasquez: How so?
* Parker: I think Justin Hall was set up, a fall guy for Senator Walsh and the others.
* Parker: And I think Charlotte DeWitt figured it out. And she was in love with Justin.
* Vasquez: Love. The ultimate motive.
* Parker: Love and revenge. We need to find her.

## Level 57

* In the room, the janitor is here. Parker finds a map.
* Parker: Maps! Perfect. Maybe I can find Charlotte's office.
* Parker: That's weird. According to this, there should be a staircase just back there...
* Parker: But there isn't.
* Parker goes to talk to Janitor.
* Parker: Excuse me, ma'am? Do you know if there used to be a staircase here?
* Janitor lady: There used to be. They closed off the upstairs a while back though... Something about renovations.
* Parker: There's got to be another way up...
* Janitor lady leaves aside.

### Outro

* Parker studies the map.
* Parker: According to this map, there are some vents that lead upstairs.
* The camera moves to the left.
* Janitor lady: I think I've seen some vents round about. I don't remember where though...
* Parker looks at the map again.
* Parker: According to this map, there should be a vent behind that bookcase there.
* Parker: Would you mind lending me a hand?
* Parker and the lady move the bookcase aside, to reveal the vent.
* Parker: Bingo.
* Parker opens the vent.
* Janitor lady: Wow, this is kind of fun. I feel like a secret agent or something!
* Parker: Climbing through vents isn't as much fun as it looks in the movies.
* Janitor lady: Still, I bet they could use a good cleaning...
* Parker: You're probably right. Now for the difficult part...

## Level 58

* Janitor lady: Are you sure you want to go in there?
* Parker laughs.
* Parker: No. I'm not a big fan of small spaces.
* Parker doesn't want it.
* Parker: No, I can't. What if Lane is upstairs? What if he needs me?
* Janitor lady: Who's Lane? Is he... your boyfriend?
* Parker: No. I don't have anyone any more. Just a job to do.
* Parker gets back to work for one more day.

## Cutscene: Action!

* Parker opens the vent. She looks at the jar.
* Parker: One pill left.
* Parker: C'mon, Lily. you can do it!
* Parker enters the vent and begins to climb.
* She keeps climbing until the destination is found!
* Parker looks through the vent.
* And now, we're in Charlotte's office, upstairs.
* Charlotte: Admit it! You were working with Senator Walsh and his thugs!
* Lane: You're wrong, Charlotte. You're making a mistake.
* Charlotte: Oh, I doubt it! Justin was set up from the start, and you know it!
* Lane: After what I've seen, I think you're right. But I wasn't involved.
* Charlotte: LIAR! You're guilty, just like the rest of them!
* Lane: For someone so smart, you can be pretty stupid.
* Lane: Listen to yourself! You're making the same mistake the police made 5 years ago when they arrested Justin! Condemning an innocent man.
* Charlotte: I'm nothing like them! I'm in the right here! Justin deserves justice!
* Lane: You can't right a wrong by repeating the same mistakes.
* Lane: Blaming others will just leave you bitter. Revenge is for fools, Charlotte.
* Lane: But I guess you're going to learn that the hard way.
* Charlotte: I don't care. I'm finishing what I started.
* Charlotte: And it's already too late for you, Lane. The poison has almost finished its work...

## Level 59

* It's time for a final catch!
* Lane: I believed Justin when he told me it was a set up.
* Charlotte: Of course it was a set up!
* Lane: I tried to defend him, I really did. But my wife-
* Charlotte: Don't make excuses, Lane.
* Lane: I failed. It's true. But that doesn't make me a monster, Charlotte. It makes me human.
* Charlotte: Justin believed in you! He never gave up, you know.
* Charlotte: Do you know why they killed him?
* Charlotte: Because he kept looking for evidence! He kept fighting back!
* Charlotte: Even after he was released, he kept fighting because you gave him hope!
* Lane: That was my crime? Giving a desperate man hope?
* Charlotte: So I had to do what you couldn't. I had to deliver justice.
* Lane: All you people are the same. You all think you have the right to hand out justice.
* Lane: Voltaire once said that no snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.
* Lane: You're just another snowflake, perpetuating the avalanche.
* Now the work continues in Toxicology.

### Outro

* The final catch is imminent!
* Parker reveals out of the vent! She moves the boxes and puts an arrest to Charlotte, ending the killer's game!
* Charlotte: It doesn't matter, my work here is done! It's too late for the lawyer.
* Charlotte: It would've been easier if you'd drunk the one I sent to your home, but you'll die just the same.
* Parker: You're under arrest! Obviously. And it' snot too late. I have the antidote right-
* The antidote is low.
* Parker: No, it can't be. Daisy had a bottle exactly like that when I went looking for Victor...
* Charlotte: Daisy? Who's Daisy?
* Lane: She's my little girl! Lily, you have to save her! Now! Go!
* Parker: But what about you-
* Charlotte: A little girl? But... I didn't want anything like that happen!
* Lane: Forget about me! I'd die a thousand times over to save my little girl.
* Lane: Now get the hell out of here, Parker! There's no time to lose!

## Level 60

* Lane is free!
* Parker: If I put my mind to it, anything is possible...
* Parker looks at the pill.
* Parker: Lane, take a couple of these. They're for my anxiety, they'll slow your blood pressure.
* Lane: Smart, that will slow the poison by slowing my blood flow. That should buy me a little bit of time.
* Parker: And you, don't slow us down. That little girl doesn't deserve to die.
* Parker: No time for chit chat. Here's the plan.
* Parker: We'll take this antidote to Daisy first. She's the priority.
* Parker: Immediately after that we rush to the station, where Stella will have an antidote waiting.
* Parker: I drive faster than you Lane, not to mention I'm not poisoned. So you call Stella.
* Lane: I'm on it.
* Parker: Let's go.
* In Lane's house, Daisy passed out.
* Mindy: I don't know what happened! She just passed out!
* Parker: Shut up. Victor, hold her up and pinch her nose.
* Lane: On it.
* Parker gives Daisy an antidote.
* Lane: Oh no. What if we were too late? Come on, little Daisy. Daddy needs you.
* Daisy wakes up.
* Daisy: Da... daddy? I feel... weird.
* Lane: You're going to be just fine, love. Daddy's here.
* Parker: not for long. Time to save you too, Victor. Let's get moving.
* Daisy: Oh! Lily is here!
* Parker: No time. Let's go!

### Outro; ending

* Stella: You shouldn't even be alive, Victor!
* Stella: Hurry! Drink this!
* Stella gives Lane a drink.
* Lane: Ugh, disgusting. To think that might be my last ever drink...
* Parker: You're not doing so good on interesting last words either.
* Parker: Victor...
	+ Lane: Lily...
* Lane: So... Stella, how long until we know I'm not dead?
* Stella: Another few minutes should do it, though I have no idea how you survived this long!
* Parker: I have him my anxiety pills to slow down his blood flow.
* Stella: You may well have saved his life.
* Lane: She saved my world. My little girl... Lily, thank you. For being there.
* Parker & Lane hug.
* Parker: I already regret my decision.
* Stella: Victor, being Daisy down to the lab please. Let's run some tests just to be safe.

## Cutscene: Epilogue

* Stella heads out of Toxicology. Lane heads out with Daisy too.
* Parker: So you survived your first case.
* Lane: Our first case. And barely.
* Parker: I'm... glad you're okay, Lane.
* They're happy.
* Lane: Me too. Nothing like almost dying to make you feel alive!
* Lane: So, are you excited about catching your first bad guy?
* Parker: I don't know. I thought I would be, but I'm not.
* Parker: I guess I feel a little bad for Charlotte. She's already suffered so much...
* Parker: And Justin didn't deserve what happened to him. Neither from the police or from the criminals.
* Lane: I understand how you feel.
* Parker: Yeah, I guess you do.
* Lane answers the call.
* Lane: Victor Lane.
* Mr. Walsh: Victor! It looks like that case from 5 years ago is going to be reopening.
* Lane: Yeah, I'll bet.
* Mr. Walsh: I'd like you to represent me. I hear you're the best of a best, that you never lose a case!
* Lane: I lost one once...
* Mr. Walsh: Then you've got the best record in the city! So what do you say?
* Lane: Sorry Walsh, but my schedule is full. Indefinitely.
* Lane hangs up the call.
* Lane: So, what do we do now? Just wait around for crime to happen?
* Parker: Yeah, something like that.
* **THE END**
