The Waste

A Link is formed out of fat from liposuction patients from a plastic surgery clinic. The link kills the plastic surgeon when he gets in the way of the link's food supply and then disappears into the Chicago water system. The first detective on the scene is Rich Talridge, who was O'Malley's first partner before Nick was picked for SU2. Rich doesn't like that the case has been handed over to SU2 and tries to solve it himself which gets him in trouble. Kate and Nick and the rest of SU2 are left trying to track and get rid of the "Fat Link" before it kills again.

Sean: The human body is made up of 60% water, 15% fat. The residue this thing left behind, 1% water, 98% fat.
Nick: I solved the case. It’s my Aunt Ruth. (edit)
Sean: I have a theory about what it is.
Nick: Is it a theory with long words? (edit)
Page: So what gave this thing life, Sean? Transformed it into a conscious entity?
Sean: I have no idea. (everyone stares, shocked) Hey, I don’t know everything! (edit)
Sean: All we’re going to do is tell O’Malley to kill it.
Nick: Can you say that again? I like the way it sounds. (edit)
Carl: And I don’t understand why I always have to be in the back. I called shotgun.
Nick: You’ve got to be human to call shotgun.
Carl: Show me where it says that.
Nick: Do I have to stop the car?
Carl: Maybe. (edit)
