Quotes 

• Detective Mac Taylor : May I help you?

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : My name is Caine, Miami CSI. I'm investigating a double murder case.

  Detective Mac Taylor : Detective Mac Taylor. Crime scene unit, first grade. I'm listening.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Two nights ago in Miami, double murder case. A married couple. And I was... I was assuming that Murdoch here was my suspect.

  Detective Mac Taylor : Narco unit. We think he was killed about three days ago. Strangled, probably a belt.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : So that could mean that my suspect killed Murdoch, took his identity, went South, did my murders. It could also mean that we're chasing the same man.

  Detective Mac Taylor : You think he's in New York? Well, one way or another, everything's connected. Brought you to me.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Trail ends here. I want first bite at prosecution. As you know, Florida has the death penalty.

  Detective Mac Taylor : So does New York.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Yes, but you have not executed since '76.

  Detective Mac Taylor : Politics.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Mac, I have a sixteen year old girl who is suddenly without both parents. I have promised her peace of mind.

  Detective Mac Taylor : I got an officer's widow who'd like some answers. We got a deal.

• Det. Mac Taylor : What have you got?

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : A break in the case. Our victims live at 720 Star Island. Penrod jotted down 702.

  Det. Mac Taylor : [in disbelief]  He hit the wrong house?

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : [Matter-of-factly]  He hit the wrong house.

• Lieutenant Horatio Caine : [observing Mac process a crime scene]  That's interesting. We scrape before we transport.

  Detective Mac Taylor : We always vouchsafe at the scene. Different process, same principle.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Yeah, it's interesting. And you fume at the scene, too.

  Detective Danny Messer : [entering the room]  Did I hear somebody say "fume"? 'Cause them I'm your man.

  Detective Mac Taylor : Danny, I had you at that bodega in Queens.

  Detective Danny Messer : I know, I know. I heard a cop went down; I figured you could use a guy like me.

• Det. Mac Taylor : [entering the morgue]  Dr. Hawkes. So glad I could get an appointment.

  Dr. Sheldon Hawkes : Mayor's office just called. Put in a word for you.

  Det. Mac Taylor : Figures. What's TOD?

  Dr. Sheldon Hawkes : Your victims have been dead since about four this morning. New York, Miami stab wounds are similar in both manner and location. However, one of the Miami victims was nearly decapitated. Killer showed more restraint with the Hanovers.

  Det. Mac Taylor : Yeah, we're aware of that. Anything else?

  Dr. Sheldon Hawkes : Turns out Mike Hanover has a heart, after all. Well, he did. A strong one. Withstood a massive myocardial infarction. Scar tissue indicates it happened within the last year. But his heart disease was progressive. Not sure how many more years he had.

  Det. Mac Taylor : Anything else?

  Dr. Sheldon Hawkes : His crotch.

  [off Mac's look] 

  Dr. Sheldon Hawkes : [showing Mac something with an ALS]  I've heard of having the blues, but this is ridiculous.

• Det. Mac Taylor : Found this in the elevator shaft. There's no hilt, which means it doesn't leave a mark.

  Doorman Kevin Dowell : Anybody could have stabbed him.

  Det. Mac Taylor : When our lab tests the blood on your uniform and it matches Michael Jr.'s, that "anyone" becomes you. Specificity of DNA. You got back on the elevator, you dropped this down the shaft. Unfortunately for you, you dropped something else.

  [Mac pulls out an evidence baggie] 

  Det. Mac Taylor : Would you mind holding up your arms, please?

  [Kevin holds up his arms, and Mac compares the tassel to his uniform] 

  Det. Mac Taylor : Missing tassel. I imagine when you were wiping the blood off, the tassel was severed. You're the only doorman in Michael Hanover, Sr.'s last will and testament. The lawyers released it after we picked you up. There's an interesting thing here on page fifty-one. "For saving my life by administering emergency CPR when I sustained a heart attack, keeping me alive until the paramedics arrived, I leave the sum of one million dollars to Kevin Dowell, payable in full upon my death."

  [flashback] 

  Michael Hanover, Sr. : A million, Kevin. You're in my will.

  [present] 

  Det. Mac Taylor : Only you got impatient. Tried to speed up the process. So you had Hanover killed. That brings us to Penrod. Monster like him, what's his connection to a hardworking guy like you?

  Doorman Kevin Dowell : Every good doorman needs a dealer. He's been mine for ten years. Drugs, women. Every kind of kink, you name it. Got to keep the tenants happy. There's nothing Penrod won't do.

  Det. Mac Taylor : For a price.

  [cut scene of Horatio arresting Penrod] 

  Davey Penrod : I don't know what you're talking about

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : I'm talking about murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

  [flashback] 

  Davey Penrod : [on the phone]  Now, I told you. Half a mil and I'm in. All right, now give me the address. All right, hold on. Seven-oh-two Star Island. Now, I got an ID. Don't worry. Got a lowlife nobody'll miss.

  Det. Mac Taylor : [to Dowell]  That "lowlife" was an undercover New York City police officer. You couldn't have drawn more attention if you'd sent up a flare.

• Mac Taylor : You seeing what I'm seeing?

  Horatio Caine : Uh-huh.

  Mac Taylor : Hilt marks on the parents. No hilt marks on the son. Junior was stabbed with a different knife.

  Horatio Caine : Two knives and two attackers, huh?

  Mac Taylor : And we've only got one knife.

  Horatio Caine : I'm gonna go back to Tribeca and look for Penrod, okay? You keep me posted.

  [to Hawkes as he hangs up] 

  Horatio Caine : Thank you.

  Mac Taylor : I think there's another knife at the Hanover residence.

  Danny Messer : No. No, I'm telling you, Mac, we took the place apart.

• Mac Taylor : Put out a broadcast. Subject at large, First Precinct, Sector Charlie. Three-story drop, he might've broken something.

• Aiden Burn : Thanks for letting me work Trace on this.

  Mac Taylor : Well, you do a bodega for Danny, you should be able to touch a big case like this. Figure out what had Mr. Hanover so blue?

  Aiden Burn : [retrieving a test result print-out]  "Propylene glycol dicocoate, alkyl benzoate, ozokerite." A high concentration of titanium dioxide and iron dioxide. Cosmetic makeup.

  Mac Taylor : High pigment?

  Aiden Burn : Practically opaque.

  Mac Taylor : Stage makeup.

  Aiden Burn : Mm-hmm. So whoever hit her knees was probably in a play.

• Mac Taylor : No luck with Penrod?

  Horatio Caine : No, he realized that the nurse made him, so he bolted before we arrived. What'd you get?

  Mac Taylor : Processed the dancer's clothes. Semen's not a match to Mike Hanover.

  Horatio Caine : But the alleles *are* a match to each of the thirteen loci. Which means Renee slept with another male Hanover. And there's only one of those. And he's right in there.

  Mac Taylor : She's reason enough a guy'd want Dad out of the way.

  Horatio Caine : And that is motive in any state.

• Stella Bonasera : Hey, we got a blood swipe. Looks like the killer's exit. Maybe entrance, too.

  Danny Messer : I'll process the door and stairs.

  Mac Taylor : Look for anything that isn't from a Hanover or a Penrod.

  Danny Messer : [giving the lock a once-over]  No forced entry.

  Mac Taylor : Pop the lock. Take it apart, see if it was picked. Follow up on the keys. Somebody got in here somehow.

• News Reporter : Detective Taylor, is this like the Dumbo massacre? What about Penrod, is he still at large?

  Stella Bonasera : Davey Penrod? How'd she get that?

  Mac Taylor : New York. You think it, it's news.

• Mac Taylor : Homicide says this is the only show that isn't dark on Mondays, and I see you're the only one in the cast of "Rainbow" that wears blue makeup.

  Stella Bonasera : And your artistic director tells us that you were in a relationship with Michael Hanover, Sr.?

  Renee Rydell : Am I under arrest?

  Mac Taylor : Depends on what you tell us.

  Renee Rydell : Look, all I know is what I hear on the news.

  Mac Taylor : Well, maybe we can help you know more.

  [showing her an evidence photograph] 

  Mac Taylor : See this hair? This was taken from the chair that Mike Hanover was killed in. If we take a DNA sample, will it match your hair?

  Renee Rydell : What do you want me to say? "I was there"? I was there.

  Stella Bonasera : Oh, we know where you were. Your makeup puts you south of his border.

• Mac Taylor : Blonde.

  Stella Bonasera : What color's the wife's hair?

  Mac Taylor : Brunette.

  Stella Bonasera : Maybe Dad had a visitor.

  Mac Taylor : [finding seminal fluid on the chair]  Bob Fosse's life story.

  Stella Bonasera : "All That Jazz."

  Mac Taylor : Semen.

  Stella Bonasera : Old man was a stud.

  Mac Taylor : So, Mom's in the bedroom knocked out on Percocets.

  Stella Bonasera : Yeah, and Dad's in the study with the candlestick. Only one way to put out his fire.

  Mac Taylor : Blow.

  Stella Bonasera : [seeing him thinking]  You think the bimbo's connected?

  Mac Taylor : Yeah, Veneziano's theory of quantum physics; everything's connected. Just have to find out how.

• Stella Bonasera : I recognize those getaway sticks.

  Mac Taylor : Renee. Junior inherits half a billion and his dad's mistress. Yeah, it's the stuff New York legends are made of.

• Danny Messer : Who's this?

  Mac Taylor : He's one of us.

  Horatio Caine : [shaking hands]  From Miami, Danny.

  Danny Messer : How are you?

  Mac Taylor : Lieutenant Caine is helping us. Would like to get some prints, confirm we're chasing the same guy.

  Danny Messer : Say no more.

  [taking a tool out of his kit and picking up the victim's wallet] 

  Danny Messer : Watch yourself. You don't want this getting on you. Cleaning bill's murder.

• Horatio Caine : Hematrace.

  Mac Taylor : Drains are the conscience of the city.

  Horatio Caine : You found blood.

  Mac Taylor : Lots of it. Scary thing, the blood on the fixture is wet.

  Horatio Caine : So it's fresh.

  Mac Taylor : Yeah, too fresh for your Miami murders or my cop's. I'll get this to the lab.
