Quotes
-
Leon Vance : Why did he stop teaching?
Jessica Knight : Totaled his car a few years ago, busted his head open. After that, he informed the university that he was no longer fit to teach
Leon Vance : No arguments here
-
Alden Parker : Director, you got something for me?
Leon Vance : I asked Dr. Mallard to do a psych eval on our serial killer. Which Dr. Palmer has agreed to present.
Alden Parker : Okay, Jimmy, what do ya got?
Jimmy Palmer : Well, what I have is a history lesson. Uh, in 18th century France, people with two different colored eyes were seen as possessed. They were teased, they were ostracized, sometimes they were even killed.
Alden Parker : That's a common theme throughout time.
Jimmy Palmer : Yeah, to treat people who looked or acted differently as evil spirits.
Leon Vance : Like the witches of Salem.
Jimmy Palmer : We all know how they were punished.
Leon Vance : They were hanged.
Jimmy Palmer : Any guesses as to how they treated heterochromatics
Alden Parker : Chopped off their heads?
Jimmy Palmer : The belief was that in order to vanquish the demon they needed to separate the head from its soul.
Leon Vance : So history is repeating itself. Why?
Jimmy Palmer : We can only guess. Perhaps the killer suffered some sort of trauma at the hands of a heterochromatic person, and now is seeking revenge on anyone with two different colored eyes.
Leon Vance : That doesn't explain why Lieutenant Harlan was targeted. Or the bomb.
Alden Parker : We just learned that her husband has different colored eyes. Our theory is that the killer got the wrong Harlan.
Jimmy Palmer : I don't think so. Our killer has been careful so far.
Leon Vance : So you're thinking that there's another reason she would've been targeted?
Jimmy Palmer : Maybe. If you look closely, there's one person waiting to be executed who is not heterochromatic.
Alden Parker : Two brown eyes.
Jimmy Palmer : Notice anything else about her?
Alden Parker : She's pregnant
Jimmy Palmer : Historically, women who were impregnated by heterochromatic men were also targeted, because the trait is hereditary. So if Lieutenant happens to be pregnant, her child would likely have it, too.
Leon Vance : And since you can't chop off the head of an unborn child
Alden Parker : You blow up the mom instead.
Leon Vance : We need to get the Harlans into protective custody.
Alden Parker : McGee and Torres are on the way to their house now.
-
Leon Vance : You're asking me to allow a movie star to interrogate a serial killer?
Alden Parker : Yes.
Leon Vance : And you think that's a good idea?
Alden Parker : No, but it's the best bad idea we have.
