Carmine Giovinazzo: Danny Messer

Quotes 

• 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.

• Danny Messer : You know, if there are nine rats for every person living in Manhattan, there's gotta be at least five keys per head. Apartment door, car door...

  Stella Bonasera : Lock at the gym. Yeah. Fast-forward.

  Danny Messer : But there are only a few alloys used to make keys. New duplicate keys are all coated in red acrylic now. And that's what these shavings are. A duplicate was used to get in here. Shavings were left behind.

  Stella Bonasera : All right, so it was the last one in. Any other disturbances?

  Danny Messer : Pristine.

  Stella Bonasera : Penrod didn't just have help, it was an inside job.

  Danny Messer : How do you figure?

  Stella Bonasera : Well, you've got four masters, right? Somebody's gotta be *really* close to the Hanovers or the doorman to get one to get it duped.

  Danny Messer : Then I need those masters.

• Stella Bonasera : So, did you get a hit on the master keys?

  Danny Messer : Got all four right here: Mom, Dad, Junior, and the doorman. Found machine marks on one of 'em, it was definitely copied.

  Stella Bonasera : Let me guess, the doorman.

  Danny Messer : Sorry, door number four. The key belonging to Mrs. Hanover.

  Stella Bonasera : [surprised]  What?

  Danny Messer : Mm-hmm. Evidence Collection found it in her bag in her room. Look. Scratches are from the dupe machine. Someone made a copy of this key. The dupe was definitely used to get in the back door the night of the murders.

  Stella Bonasera : I don't get it. How does a monster like Penrod get involved with Mrs. Hanover?

• 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.

• 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.

• Stella Bonasera : How's our secret door? Was it picked?

  Danny Messer : No scratches inside the lock. All markings are consistent with key use only.

• 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.
