Abigail Lopez: Lisa Santoro

Quotes 

• Lisa Santoro : If I were you guys, I'd steet clear of Latent for a while.

  Detective Lennie Briscoe : Why, they don't see the challenge in lifting prints off a broken bottle?

  Lisa Santoro : Any prints shattered along with the glass, so they're fragmented like a jigsaw puzzle. You guys like jigsaw puzzles? I love jigsaw puzzles. Want to know how I solved this one?

  Ed Green : That is why we're here.

  Lisa Santoro : I bought a bottle the same brand of Scotch, filled it with plaster, then broke it, leaving a perfect mold. Then I took the glass from the crime scene and glued it on that mold, putting each piece in its proper place. Voila.

  Ed Green : Just like a jigsaw puzzle.

• Lisa Santoro : With the bottle now reconstituted...

  Detective Lennie Briscoe : You could lift the prints.

  Lisa Santoro : Two sets. I ran them through BCI. The first belong to a Rooney, James.

  Ed Green : The bartender.

  Lisa Santoro : And owner. His prints are on file from when he applied for a liquor license.

  Ed Green : What about the second set?

  Lisa Santoro : Uh, BCI kicked back a Grimes, Walter.

  Ed Green : Walter Grimes?

  Lisa Santoro : Mm. Here's the best part.

  Detective Lennie Briscoe : Yeah, convicted of murder, second degree in the killing of a young girl. Drew twenty-five to life at Green Haven.

  Lisa Santoro : Yeah. How'd you know?

  Ed Green : He reads the front page of the Times.

  Detective Lennie Briscoe : Walter Grimes was released from prison three months ago.
