Plot Overview

The killer is a veteran paramedic who seems to be suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The victim is a stockbroker who's dying of lung cancer and going through the items on his bucket list. Initially, it appears that the victim, who was killed when the cord on his parachute broke during a skydiving jump, was killed accidentally until it was pointed out that the only way to break the cord is to cut it. Angie and Oscar have a difficult time tracking the killer, not only because he used an alias, but because he seems so non-descriptive to all the people they interview. Could the motive have something to do with a tragic incident on the paramedic's job, or could the bucket list play a bigger role than they thought? Also, Angie shares information about her relationship with Cross with a sympathetic Oscar.
