MIA/NYC Nonstop (2004)

Joseph Lyle Taylor: Doorman Kevin Dowell

Quotes 

• 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.

• Stella Bonasera : Did you see anybody go out here late last night?

  Doorman Kevin Dowell : No, I have to stay in the front of the building. God forbid a tenant should have to open their own door.

• Stella Bonasera : When was the last time you saw the Hanovers?

  Doorman Kevin Dowell : Uh... when I unloaded their limo, uh, yesterday afternoon. They came back from Florida. The next thing I know, the police are swarming the building.

  Stella Bonasera : Okay, fire code says that there's a back door here. I can't seem to find it.

  Doorman Kevin Dowell : Uh, yeah, it's hidden.

  Stella Bonasera : Why don't you try un-hiding it?
