Quotes
-
Detective Alexandra Eames : She got her hands on this, why she didn't run?
Detective Robert Goren : It wasn't about that, it was about him.
Detective Alexandra Eames : Men come and go, but diamonds...
Detective Robert Goren : Diamonds don't keep you warm at night.
-
Detective Alexandra Eames : He left you in the lurch, Gia. He left you to take the rap for four murders. That's a needle in your arm. You're letting him run?
Detective Robert Goren : You didn't run, did you, when he was in... prison up in Montreal, in prison with Michael Carson?
Uniform Policeman : [entering] Your autopsies just came in.
Detective Robert Goren : Thanks.
[laying out pictures]
Detective Robert Goren : Sophie Kersten. The daughter of the people who lived in the apartment; 19 years old. Uh, your boyfriend put a bullet in her brain. This is her boyfriend. We think he was shot while trying to protect her. That's what boyfriends are supposed to do. Michael Carson. The medical examiner found evidence of frequent anal sex. This is Atwood's preferred sexual act... isn't it? It's his way of dominating his partner.
-
Karl Atwood : You stupid bitch.
Gia DeLuca : We're both dead, anyway. You killed us.
Detective Alexandra Eames : Think again, Gia. You got a long and healthy life ahead of you.
Detective Robert Goren : [she looks at him indignantly] I lied. Sorry.
-
James Deakins : AIDS. Tough break.
Detective Robert Goren : Tougher if it was true.
Ron Carver : You think she believed it?
James Deakins : We better come up with another way of finding Atwood.
Detective Alexandra Eames : We searched the apartment, her purse... no leads to him or the merchandise.
Ron Carver : What about the other one, the, uh, the Serbian?
Detective Alexandra Eames : Casten Zivkovic; he's overstayed his visa along with a million other people we can't find.
James Deakins : Let's release his and Atwood's picture to the media; put some pressure on, hope they slip up.
Detective Robert Goren : [seeing Gia start to chew her nail] We got her. This.
[mimicking her]
Detective Robert Goren : That's her blink.
-
Jake Nathan : It's Atwood. It's Karl Atwood. The other guy I only know as Ziv. But he's the main guy, Atwood. He's got the goods.
Detective Alexandra Eames : Where can we find him?
Jake Nathan : I-I don't know. It's... he lives in the Upper East Side with his girlfriend. Her name is Gia, something Italian. I got a cell phone number on him.
Detective Alexandra Eames : [passing a pad over] The number.
Detective Robert Goren : Atwood and the girl, they've been together long?
Jake Nathan : Yeah, I think so. They got some act, those two.
-
Jake Nathan : Death penalty? What the hell for?
Ron Carver : Do I need to explain the felony murder statute to your client?
Jake Nathan : I didn't kill anybody!
Detective Alexandra Eames : The Kersten girl and her boyfriend, Michael Carson, Jimmy Randazzo.
Jake Nathan : That wasn't me, and who the hell is Jimmy Randazzo?
Ron Carver : Funny thing, the law. Right hand commits the murder, let hand pays for it.
Liston : Uh, how can my client help himself here?
Ron Carver : Names and addresses, I take the death penalty off the table.
Liston : Life without parole? Well, that's pretty steep. He-he's got no record of violence.
Ron Carver : He does now. And the offer's not gonna hold. We found him, we'll find the others with or without his help. Life, death... you choose.
-
Detective Alexandra Eames : The ice queen?
Detective Robert Goren : You notice anything unusual?
Detective Alexandra Eames : Not really.
Detective Robert Goren : It's just that she's putting lipstick on her eyeball. She's taking a picture of the safe.
Detective Alexandra Eames : [he fast-forwards] Am I missing something?
Detective Robert Goren : I just like to watch.
Detective Alexandra Eames : I like to listen. I'm meeting a snitch down at the Coronet.
-
Detective Robert Goren : He would have arrived on the train from Montreal last Thursday or Friday with luggage, computer equipment, that sort of thing.
Redcap : Yeah, I seen this boy Friday afternoon. Helped him with his bags; black canvas bags. He would have been a good tipper, but he had this friend with him.
Detective Alexandra Eames : He was traveling with somebody?
Redcap : No, no, somebody met him.
Detective Robert Goren : Did you catch a name?
Redcap : Uh... Jake. Pretty sure it was Jake.
Detective Robert Goren : Thank you.
Redcap : [cut to the precinct; he looks through a book of mugshots] There he is.
Detective Robert Goren : [taking the picture out] Jacob Nathan; forgery, possession of stolen goods, larceny.
Redcap : And tight with his money, too.
-
Detective Cardenas : Goren, it's for you.
Detective Alexandra Eames : [seeing a large, solidly-built man with body tattoos] Friend of yours?
Detective Robert Goren : I sure hope so.
-
1st Detective : Rise and shine, Sharif.
Detective Alexandra Eames : He was using the Justin Crane credit card?
1st Detective : Yeah, he was busted for buying Metro cards for his homeboys.
Detective Alexandra Eames : Where'd you get the card, Sharif?
Sharif : I told 'em, a white dude gave it to me.
Detective Alexandra Eames : When?
Sharif : On Saturday, outside the camera store down on 23rd.
Detective Robert Goren : What did he look like?
Sharif : Red like an apple; red hair, red lip brush.
Detective Robert Goren : And he just gave it to you?
Sharif : Yeah. I didn't know it was stolen. He just said, "Hey, help yourself."
1st Detective : And then what? He got in his sleigh and rode off with his reindeer?
Sharif : No, just his big, gray Caddie.
Detective Alexandra Eames : [to Goren] Ho, ho, ho.
-
Detective Alexandra Eames : These two could be this mutt. We had the witnesses look at mug books, but nobody jumped out at them.
James Deakins : The gray Caddie?
Detective Alexandra Eames : The kid remembered a couple of numbers from the license plate. APB's out.
James Deakins : What am I looking at?
Detective Robert Goren : Our John Doe; the stiff from the crime scene. It's homemade; could be a prison tattoo.
Detective Alexandra Eames : How could he get to prison without leaving his prints in the system?
James Deakins : How'd my luggage end up in Amarillo last Christmas? Where are we with matching MOs?
Detective Cardenas : Doesn't fit any of the crackers in the database.
Detective Robert Goren : Then try a bigger database. Look, our boy is an extrovert. He's brazen, self-confident, charismatic. He imposes his girlfriend on the gang, and he's holding them together even after killing one of them. We should look at armored car heists, bank jobs, anything with public displays of firepower.
James Deakins : Okay, we wasted time chasing down this credit card. Let's make up for it. The jewelry store owner sent over surveillance tapes for the last month. Our perps could be on there casing the premises. Any volunteers?
[Goren raises his hand, but is disappointed when no one else does]
-
Detective Alexandra Eames : Hey, I showed Randazzo's diamonds to our jeweler. They were grade F; slightly flawed, great color; the worst rocks of the bunch. You were right; the Masucci angle's a lot of smoke. This guy... bad enough he shoots two witnesses. Now he throws a body in a trunk just to throw us off his trail.
Detective Robert Goren : Put yourself in his place. He is trying to lock in a hundred-million dollar payday.
Detective Alexandra Eames : Don't equivocate; he's a bad guy.
-
Detective Alexandra Eames : Karl Atwood, 38. Priors for armed robbery, assault, home invasion robbery. Convictions in New York State, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Montreal.
Detective Robert Goren : Archambault Prison?
Detective Alexandra Eames : Uh-huh. 18 months for attempted hijack of an armored truck.
Detective Robert Goren : Same time frame as Carson.
Detective Alexandra Eames : Atwood was deported back here six months ago.
Ron Carver : Thank you, Canada. What about the girl?
Detective Alexandra Eames : Nothing in the file.
-
Mr. De Santis : It's not one of mine.
Detective Alexandra Eames : The question was did you make it?
Mr. De Santis : Your partner is deaf?
Detective Robert Goren : Maybe you are. She asked you a yes or no question.
Mr. De Santis : Well, then, the answer is no.
Detective Robert Goren : Mr. De Santis, our crime lab can match the unique marks on this piece to the characteristics on the tools that you used to make it. Of course, we'd have to confiscate all your equipment. Might take months to get it back.
Detective Alexandra Eames : [De Santis sighs] We'll take that as a yes. Who ordered it?
Mr. De Santis : Some guy. I mean, if I never saw him again, it would be too soon.
Detective Robert Goren : His name?
Mr. De Santis : I don't know. Uh... Serbian. Croatian. A bald guy. Is there anything else?
Detective Alexandra Eames : Yes. You're closing early today.
-
Crane : I used it to pay for groceries at D'Agnostino's. I was getting into my car to go up to Vermont when some guy bumped into me, some jogger. Must've picked my pocket.
Detective Alexandra Eames : What's this jogger look like?
Crane : Blond hair. Long blond hair, sunglasses. I didn't get a good look at him.
Detective Robert Goren : Maybe your friend did.
Crane : My friend?
Detective Robert Goren : Well, the ski report on the radio said it was bright and sunny up in Vermont. For someone who was outside all weekend, you look as pale as I do. Spending all that time indoors by yourself wouldn't have been much fun. So... can we talk to your friend?
-
Camera Salesman : Yes, Mr. Crane. I remember the sale. He spent two minutes looking at the camera, and bang; sold.
Detective Alexandra Eames : What'd he look like?
Camera Salesman : About six feet, medium height, red hair, short, mustache. Tinted aviator glasses.
Detective Robert Goren : Did he show you a driver's license?
Camera Salesman : Of course. We ask for one with every purchase.
Detective Alexandra Eames : Was anybody with him?
Camera Salesman : No.
Detective Robert Goren : Did he know a lot about cameras?
Camera Salesman : He knew what he was looking for. He asked for one with good low-light resolution.
Detective Robert Goren : And what did that tell you?
Camera Salesman : Low light; um, boudoir photos. 90% of these instant cameras, people buy them for intimate portraiture. Excuse me a sec.
Detective Alexandra Eames : [he leaves to help another customer] We got a pop on the credit card. The 3-6 has a suspect in custody.
-
Detective Robert Goren : It's a laminating machine.
Detective Alexandra Eames : Forger's friend. Nathan must have left it behind.
Detective Robert Goren : Serial number's still on it.
Detective Alexandra Eames : We can trace it to the store.
-
Detective Alexandra Eames : So, if you have $300 million in hot stones, who do you go to?
Avi : Whoever gives you the best price. Maybe you get 30 cents on the dollar.
Detective Alexandra Eames : $100 million. It's still a nice piece of change. So, who? The Russians?
Avi : They don't need them. They are choking on diamonds from the Kremlin vaults. Maybe the Chinese.
[looking through crime scene photos]
Avi : This is hand-tooled, not machined.
Detective Alexandra Eames : This X-brace was left welded to the safe.
Avi : I might know a man in Brooklyn.
-
Buildings Clerk : East 74th... here it is. Plans issued two weeks ago to an Anna Hutchinson.
Detective Alexandra Eames : You get any ID?
Buildings Clerk : Student ID from Cooper Union. Oh, yeah; I remember her.
Detective Robert Goren : What'd she look like?
Buildings Clerk : Uh... good-looking young woman. Slim, dark hair, shoulder-length. Glasses, black rims. You know, the art student look.
Detective Robert Goren : What was her demeanor like? The way she spoke; friendly or not?
Buildings Clerk : Not. An honest-to-goodness ice queen.
Detective Alexandra Eames : We'll need you to come down later to talk to our sketch artist. Thanks.
[turning to leave]
Detective Alexandra Eames : Using this girl, that's not standard procedure for a burglary crew.
Detective Robert Goren : It's most likely the boss's girlfriend. Anybody else wouldn't be trusted.
Detective Alexandra Eames : [her phone rings] Eames. Put him through. Yes, this is Detective Eames. That's right. I'll need the card number. Get back to me, please.
[hanging up]
Detective Alexandra Eames : Dispatcher from the limo company. The car was ordered over the phone with a credit card, name of Justin Crane.
-
James Deakins : Where are we?
Detective Robert Goren : We struck out on his last known. He hasn't lived there for at least two years.
Detective Alexandra Eames : [on the phone] We will, ma'am, thank you.
[hanging up]
Detective Alexandra Eames : His ex is looking for him, too. Owes her a brick in child support.
Detective Cardenas : This bail app from six years ago; his mother put up the bond. There's an address on her.
Detective Robert Goren : Let me see that.
Detective Alexandra Eames : You have her Social there?
James Deakins : The feebs have been notified. They're taking care of Interpol notification. Give me a status in an hour.
Detective Alexandra Eames : Mother Nathan, deceased seven months ago.
James Deakins : Poor guy's an orphan.
Detective Robert Goren : Somebody forgot to tell Con Ed. The power bill's paid up and current.
-
Detective Robert Goren : She couldn't do any better than her boyfriend. Cooper Union?
Detective Alexandra Eames : No Anna Hutchinson on their student roster. Charges on Mr. Crane's credit card since it was stolen. Our thief's been living it up. Friday, $4,200 at Tourneau Watch. $2,200 at Prada.
Detective Robert Goren : It's John Doe's new clothes. He spent two grand on clothes for a jewelry heist.
Detective Alexandra Eames : New job, new clothes. Saturday, $300 at a camera store. More charges Sunday, today. You want to hit some of these places?
Detective Robert Goren : Does it bother you that the same people who just jacked $300 million are maxing out a stolen credit card?
Detective Alexandra Eames : Once a thief. You said yourself, they're impulsive.
Detective Robert Goren : Okay, if it doesn't bother you.
-
Detective Robert Goren : I got a hit on our John Doe. I sent his prints up to Canada.
Detective Alexandra Eames : Michael Carson.
Detective Robert Goren : That tattoo he had, prison tattoo. Canadian prison; Archambault, up in Montreal. Carson spent three years in cell block D for possession with intent. That's why he was wearing new clothes. Whoever shot him didn't want his old clothes traced back to Canada.
Detective Alexandra Eames : How did you...?
Detective Robert Goren : The guy with the body art, he's got biker friends up there. Carson's parole officer hasn't seen him since a week ago last Thursday. Meaning he came down here Thursday night or Friday.
Detective Alexandra Eames : Being a felon, he would have avoided going through customs at the airport. That leaves the train, where inspections are more lax.
