Sundays 9:00 PM on The CWCoroner Season 2 Episode 5: "One Drum" Quotes
Darla: I never laid a hand on either of those boys.
McAvoy: I believe you. I also believe you didn't raise a hand to stop your husband's abuse. So many people are dead.
Kelly: i have to admit, I have a real soft spot for her. It's more than just giving me a job, she sort of, um, took me in.
Liam: Yeah, me too. I'm gonna start to think that, she has a thing for strays.
Alison: There's a reason why I joined the coroner's office. When I was a kid, just a few years older than Ennis is now, my mother died.
Jenny: I'm so sorry.
Alison: It, it was a school night. And we'd run out of cereal, and i wanted it for breakfast the nest day, so my mom popped out to the grocery store, like she'd done a million times. And I remember it was raining because my dad chased after her to give her an umbrella. And she never made it home. And the police came to our house around midnight and said that there'd been an accident.
Jenny: What did they say happened.
Alison: That she must have fallen, slipped in the rain and hit her head. The coroner said blunt force trauma to the back of the skull was consistent with a fall.
Jenny: But you don't think that's what happened.
Alison: My dad went in to identify her body, and when he saw her, her lip was split, and there was bruising around her face. Bruising.

I joined this office, so that I could make sure that no other kid had to go through what me and my family went through. You think that's naive?
Jenny: No, Alison, I think it's incredibly brave.
Alison: I'm not telling you this so that you go easy on Ennis. More to say that, we don't know what he's been through up til now.
I get it. If you don't wanna talk. I lost my mom when I was a little bit older than you. For a long time, I didn't want to talk. To anyone. I was angry. I was sad. So I drew. I mean, you don't have to do that. Or we can just sit here. Together.
Alison
River: He's just a kid.
Jenny: You okay?
River: Yeah, it's just, we see too many brown faces in our line of work. You know what I mean?
River: The calls are coming from inside the bags.
Jenny: It's, uh ... it's family members. They're trying to reach their loved ones.
Casey: It's unnerving. It's sad.
