- Detective Don Flack: There's no witnesses and no surveillance. Doesn't make sense, right? Because after 9/11 we all know that a $36 million security system was installed on this island. Here's the kicker. Once every three months they shut down for system upgrades and reboots. It takes 45 minutes.
- Detective Mac Taylor: A small window of opportunity? No one's that lucky.
- Detective Lindsay Monroe: [on the phone] Hi, I'm calling from the Office of Unemployment.
- Adam Ross: [answering half awake, in his apartment] Oh, Lindsay. Hey.
- Detective Lindsay Monroe: Word is that Denny's is looking to hire some awkward scientists.
- Adam Ross: [jumping up] I-I'm already halfway there. Okay.
- Detective Lindsay Monroe: It's a big case, Adam. It's the Statue of Liberty. It's all over the news. We've got alot of work to do. This is top priority and Mac is back in town. Get your little ass to work!
- Detective Stella Bonasera: The wire is holding the view finder in place
- Detective Mac Taylor: Maybe we're are the one's who are supposed to be doing the sightseeing.
- Nova Kent: [about the killer] For whatever reason, he let me live. I thought it was over. But two months later I realized it would never be over. He started sending me black calla lilies.
- Detective Danny Messer: So, you kept moving to get away.
- Nova Kent: But he always found me. I wanted to tell somebody so bad. Thought about it every single day. I was, I was just too scared. I didn't want to die.
- Detective Stella Bonasera: [walks in, holding a box] Mac, if I told you to go home and get some rest, you would say...
- Detective Mac Taylor: What's in the box.
- Detective Stella Bonasera: Of course you would. I think I may have found what you are looking for.
- Detective Stella Bonasera: [Detectives Taylor, Bonasera, and Flack are called over to look at a view finder at a crime scene] There's blood on the coin slot.
- Detective Don Flack: Yeah I always like to do a little sight seeing after I commit murder.
- Detective Don Flack: [to Mac] Welcome back to the land of the free and the home of the depraved. You didn't actually think we'd let you get settled, did you?
- Adam Ross: [trying to wake her] Uh, Kendall. Hey, uh, wake up. We're late for work. We got- we gotta get up. we're late for work.
- Kendall Novak: [suddenly alert about their lack of clothing] Did we? We didn't?
- Adam Ross: Oh no, no no. I mean, I- I mean I wish it was yes yes ys. But sadly, no.
- Kendall Novak: Okay. Ten more minutes.
- Adam Ross: [pulling her from the coach] No, no, no. No more minutes. Okay, come one. Get up, get up. Come on, let's go. Up, up. Let's go. We must fight crime.
- Detective Mac Taylor: [about Charles Price's killer] He was the killer's ticket off the island. Uniformed security escort, no questions asked. Then when he wasn't needed any longer, Charles was the next victim.
- Dr. Sid Hammerback: The killer followed through on his threat. "Two more will die".
- Detective Mac Taylor: No, I don't think so, Sid. Charles and Georgia surprised him. That means they were unexpected casualties of the original plan.
- Detective Mac Taylor: Let's focus on the victims, not the killer. Both these guys had a story to tell about something that happened. Brock on the answering machine. Nakashima on the cell phone. Something they saw. And the killer wanted the truth.
- Detective Lindsay Monroe: But after he got the truth, he kill them.
- Dr. Sheldon Hawkes: Right. Because he got what he wanted. He didn't need them any longer.
- Kendall Novak: [about their evidence] Using an ocular micrometer, I was able to determine the diameter of the wire's 18 gauge. That's typically used in higher notes. Using the contact points, plating separation and an average applied tension of 67 pounds, I was able to figure out what note it is.
- Adam Ross: You know what note it is?
- Kendall Novak: Yeah. It's an A.
- [last lines]
- [Mac's office phone rings]
- Mac Taylor: [picking up] Taylor... .
- [Nobody answers; the caller hangs as Mac looks at the clock on his desk: it marks 3:33 am]
