• [last lines] 

  Sidney Ressler : Reid, I cannot help but think the man's further excesses, his need to move beyond that initial batch... Dozens have perished, your wife almost among them... Had I not bowed to pressure to keep those bodies secret, the public knowledge of those deaths might have been enough to sate his madness.

  Det. Insp. Edmund Reid : Word of advice, Ressler. This work we perform, it does not serve to look backward. This city, wickedness will ever leave its spores here. You and I, we are not magicians. We cannot see through walls or into men's minds. Dozens perished, but hundreds who were ill are now well once more. We fight. We fight with all the skills we may muster. Beyond that, we may do no more.

• Det. Insp. Edmund Reid : [in the morgue]  Yet these, these first, we may study, they must show us the way to our poisoner. Now, Mr. Ressler, you must have thought of the details of these men, the circumstances and commonalities that might bind them?

  Sidney Ressler : Yes, I have, of course... but nothing.

  Det. Insp. Edmund Reid : No, we do not allow nothing! There must be a connection!

  Cpt. Homer Jackson : Reid... iodine, cabinet.

  [Reid takes a jar from the cabinet and a paintbrush, while Jackson wipes the chalkboard clean and begins a list] 

  Sidney Ressler : [confused]  What are they doing now?

  Det. Sgt. Bennet Drake : If you don't know, and I don't, sir, it's often best not to ask.
