Quotes 

• Eliot Delson : World peace really packs them in!

  Carrie Wells : Yeah, Justin Bieber has got nothing on this guy!

• Eliot Delson : Absolutely not! No!

  Al Burns : Eliot, when we signed on here, you pretty much gave us carte blanche to run our own operation

  Carrie Wells : You said: we always have you backs, empower to get results, whatever it takes

  Eliot Delson : Now that's funny, I don't recall saying that

  Carrie Wells : It was July, 22nd, raining outs...

  Eliot Delson : Yeah right. Okay.

  [Turns to Al] 

  Eliot Delson : Do you ever, you know,

  [whispers] 

  Eliot Delson : get tired of it?

  Al Burns : Yeah, once I did, October 10th, 2012, we were at dinner, it was a Thursday if I'm not mistaken

  Eliot Delson : You two should go on Letterman!

• Carrie Wells : Jo, you've any unusual deaths in the past 24 hours?

  Joanne Webster : Carrie, they're all unusual deaths! We come into the world in the dullest, most inform of ways, but our exists are like, oh, forensic snowflakes

  Carrie Wells : Oh, yeah, your students must really eat that up

  Joanne Webster : "Poetry of Lab" over registers each year!

• Jay Lee : Got him

  Carrie Wells : Got her!

  Jay Lee : Wow, it's a woman!

  [Carrie looks surprised at Jay] 

  Jay Lee : What? No, not that a woman can... you know... Okay?...

• Al Burns : Skydiving? Me?

  Carrie Wells : Yeah. Come on. You are the one who said you wanted to face your fears.

  Al Burns : I never said that.

  Carrie Wells : Yes, you did. November 7, 2012. It was a Wednesday. We were having lunch at Misai Sake House on Northern Boulevard.

  Al Burns : Okay, I said it, but I was referring to eating raw sea urchin, not jumping out of an airplane.

  Carrie Wells : Al, you need to face your fears. Just jump.

• Carrie Wells : You got a time of death for us, Jo?

  Joanne Webster : Uh, yeah, according to rigor, between 8:00 and 10:00 last night.

  Al Burns : He missing any valuables?

  Joanne Webster : Mm-hmm. His watch is gone, his wallet is gone. His cell phone's over on the table.

  Al Burns : Sounds like a robbery gone wrong.

• Robert Cushman : Detectives, how long do you expect to tie up the suite?

  Carrie Wells : As long as it takes.

  Robert Cushman : It's just that, uh - let me be blunt - there are seven conventions in the city right now. That suite goes for $5,200 a night.

  Carrie Wells : [watching him leave]  Oh. One of his guests is found murdered in a hotel suite, and all he cares about is flipping the room.

  Al Burns : Guess Paul Dirkson should've stayed in the City of Brotherly Love.

• Al Burns : Well, that was fast. The room was formally released, what, two hours ago?

  Carrie Wells : Yeah, well, for $5,200 a night, they better be fast.

• Al Burns : We found the ambulance. No trace of Jackie.

  Carrie Wells : Why am I not surprised? I should've seen this coming.

  Al Burns : FBI's got it out nationally. We'll get her.

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : Maybe not. TSA out at Kennedy just sent us this. From a gate at Bolivian Airlines. Flight to Bogota six hours ago.

  Carrie Wells : Okay, great. We can interdict the flight.

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : It landed fifty minutes ago. She's gone.

  Carrie Wells : There's gotta be a way. Al, we can't just let her go.

  Al Burns : You saved Dimka. That's what matters.

  Carrie Wells : Tell that to her next victim.

• Joanne Webster : Did you ever wonder how a big, strapping guy like this could be strangled without any defensive wounds?

  Carrie Wells : He was drugged.

  Joanne Webster : Mmm. Drugged to death. He was poisoned. See the injection site? Strangulation was an afterthought. The agent that they used was Tomexide. It's a genetically-engineered pharmaceutical that hospitals use in minute doses to induce comas in patients. Anything above two micrograms is fatal. This poor guy never knew what hit him.

  Carrie Wells : All right, so here's the question: why do you strangle someone who's already dead?

  [realizing] 

  Carrie Wells : To make it look like a crime of passion.

  Joanne Webster : Using Tomexide is anything but passionate. No, to take down a guy like this, you need some expertise.

  Carrie Wells : Maybe a trained killer.

• Al Burns : Last time we were alone in a hotel room was in Syracuse. That dive motel.

  Carrie Wells : That's not right.

  Al Burns : Okay, maybe it wasn't technically a dive. We did have our own bathroom.

• Carrie Wells : These kind of hotels, they usually organize the amenities in the exact same way, right?

  Al Burns : You're asking me?

  Carrie Wells : The last time we were here, all this was different.

  [reorganizing the items] 

  Carrie Wells : The dock was here, right? The headphones were here. The magazines were over here. The maid had already done turndown service before Dirkson arrived. If these amenities had been out of order, she would've rearranged them. So, why would...

  [spotting a ventilation shaft on the wall] 

  Carrie Wells : Al...

  Al Burns : Give you a hand?

  Carrie Wells : Yep.

  [he helps her up onto the table] 

  Carrie Wells : Always a gentlemen.

• Cherie Rollins-Murray : So, I cross-referenced the drug that killed Dirkson with the data extraction device in the Interpol database. I found a group that used both. Alpha Five. A covert paramilitary unit from the former Soviet Union. After the Cold War, these guys went private, working out of Romania mostly. Strictly mercenary.

  Carrie Wells : When was their last operation?

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : Um, January 2013. An al-Qaeda middleman in Vienna made the mistake of stopping at a pastry shop for some marzipan. This is all that was left of him. Carrie, Dirkson was just collateral damage. Alpha Five takes down bigger prey.

  Carrie Wells : Yeah. Question is, who are they really hunting?

• Okoro Dimka : I've been shot at, I've been imprisoned, and tortured. And yet I'm still here.

  Eliot Delson : We understand that, but now you're a guest in our city, and your safety is in our hands.

  Al Burns : Sir, whoever's behind this already knows your entire schedule for the week.

  Okoro Dimka : How is this possible?

  Al Burns : Your press attaché. Someone hacked his BlackBerry while he was staying at the hotel.

  Okoro Dimka : I see. Well... what do you propose?

  Carrie Wells : We would like you to cancel your public appearances.

  Okoro Dimka : That will not be possible. True reform cannot occur in West Africa unless our message is heard.

  Eliot Delson : With all due respect, Doctor, nobody's gonna hear your message if you're not around to deliver it.

• Okoro Dimka : These people want me to live in fear. I will not.

  Carrie Wells : Dr. Dimka, the work you've done to unite the people of West Africa is extraordinary. You've had a huge impact. You've changed lives.

  Okoro Dimka : So you're familiar with my work?

  Carrie Wells : Yes. Yes, of course.

  Okoro Dimka : Then you are aware that my speech at Hudson University will be seen around the world.

  Carrie Wells : Mm-hmm.

  Okoro Dimka : I'll not cancel the event. I will, however, agree to move everything else. Not because I'm afraid, but because I want to see my grandchildren grow up in a new Africa.

• Al Burns : So, that song contest you won on the radio. What was the winning tune?

  Carrie Wells : You want to talk about that now?

  Al Burns : Yeah. Why not?

  Carrie Wells : Uh, "Truly Madly Deeply" by Savage Garden.

  Al Burns : Hmm, don't know it.

  Carrie Wells : What? Yes, you do. We danced to it.

  Al Burns : Well, so, we danced to it once. I...

  Carrie Wells : Oh, wow.

  Al Burns : You know, maybe if you sing it.

  Carrie Wells : [lauging]  No way.

  Al Burns : Yeah.

  Carrie Wells : No.

  Al Burns : Just sing a little. Face your fears, right?
