Quotes
-
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : So you broke down the door, and then provided false testimony to secure the restraining order against Matthew.
Lloyd Arrington : That guy couldn't move on with his life. What was I supposed to do, wait until he killed one of us?
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Need I remind you that perjury is a felony, and you're facing five years.
Lloyd Arrington : Yeah, I want a lawyer.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : And you're going to need one. You used the system to kick a man who was already down.
[Jesse knocks on the window to attract Horatio's attention]
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : What did we get?
Jesse Cardoza : I dug up underlying court documents related to the Sloan divorce. Affidavit of the minor Jason Sloan.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : [seeing a picture of Jason with a black eye] The little boy.
Jesse Cardoza : There was a history of abuse. Beatings. At first, the boy admitted his dad's the one who knocked him around, then he recanted. And Child Services said the only reason he recanted because he feared his father, and the judge agreed. Matthew Sloan lost custody three weeks ago.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : This is the justice that Matthew was looking for.
Jesse Cardoza : [nodding towards Arrington] You know, that guy lied about getting the TRO. Maybe he's the abuser.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : There's only one way to find out.
Jesse Cardoza : Follow the evidence.

Dave Benton : Direct line is up. Speaker will allow everyone to listen in, but only you'll be able to talk to him using that. I will be recording everything.
IAB Lieutenant Rick Stetler : Are your men in position?
[affirmation]
IAB Lieutenant Rick Stetler : Okay, cut the AC. I don't want this guy getting comfortable.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : And I don't want him on edge, Rick.
IAB Lieutenant Rick Stetler : Tell him it's being repaired. SWAT's in position.
Calleigh Duquesne : Rick, the firearms lab was designed to be bulletproof. Even if you could see in, you couldn't get a shot to penetrate.
IAB Lieutenant Rick Stetler : This was a coordinated attack, and we're covering all scenarios here.
Dave Benton : Calleigh, surveillance is back up.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Rick... they have to keep their distance.
IAB Lieutenant Rick Stetler : Look, I know the hostage-taker made you point man on the phone. But I'm SOC; SWAT has tactical command here.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : This is my lab and my responsibility.
-
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : I'm unarmed.
Mathew Sloan : It's Horatio Caine. You know, you look just like you do on TV. You know, like... like when you found that Walsh baby last year. Nobody thought you'd find that kid alive.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : I need the woman.
Mathew Sloan : I want a helicopter. And I want $100,000.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : This is not a negotiation.
-
Mathew Sloan : [turning himself in] I knew it. I knew you would do it.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Well, you were looking for justice, Mathew. I guess you found it.
Mathew Sloan : But now you know the truth.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : I do know the truth.
Mathew Sloan : Can you tell my son why I did this? That I did it for him.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : You know, Mathew... I think you can explain that a whole lot better than I can.
-
Natalia Boa Vista : We know how this happened.
Tanya Arrington : It's so hard. You have no idea.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Actually, Mrs. Arrington, I do. And you knew if you followed this procedure and accused your husband of abuse, the court would probably side with you.
Tanya Arrington : I never meant to hurt my boy.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : There is no... no excuse for what you did. Ever.
-
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : SWAT team, stand down. That is not the HT. This is Jesse. Stand down! He's one of ours. Go! Get the helmet off him. Get the helmet off him!
[the helmet is removed]
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Jesse.
Jesse Cardoza : [the tape over his mouth is taken off] Get this gun off of her, all right? I'm taped to the trigger.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Where is he?
Jesse Cardoza : I don't know. He sent us over here as a distraction. He also left the money. Where's that bag?
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Let me see that money.
Jesse Cardoza : It doesn't make any sense.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : It might. He may be trying to tell me something.
-
Jesse Cardoza : So, Sergeant Tripp called. They found nothing at Mathew Sloan's last known address.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Okay, thank you. You picked up right where you left off, huh?
Jesse Cardoza : You don't mind if I start early, see this through?
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : You never have to ask, Jesse.
-
Jason Sloan : Is my dad in trouble?
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : You know, Jason... I'm gonna get him some help. Okay? How'd it happen?
Jason Sloan : I don't know. It just hurt. The doctor said it was a hair fracture.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : You know, I know you're scared. And I know you don't wanna talk about it. I understand the situation... very well. You want to make your dad happy, so you tell the truth. You want to make your mom happy, so you tell a lie. The judge makes a decision, right? And he makes the wrong one.
[he nods]
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Jason... I know that your mom is hurting you. And I want you to know that it's not your fault.
Jason Sloan : I don't wanna lie anymore.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : I know you don't, and I'm gonna fix it so you never have to tell another lie again.
Jason Sloan : Dad never hurt me. Mom said she was scared that he'd take me away.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Right. I believe you. And I'm gonna make this all right. All right?
Jason Sloan : Okay.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : All right, now. Hang in there.
-
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Ma'am, I'd like to buy another round.
Ryan Wolfe : Sorry, H, but the new guy buys the next round.
Jesse Cardoza : Hey, technically, I was here way before you, but I'll buy. What are you having?
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : A club soda.
Ryan Wolfe : Oh, come on, H.
Natalia Boa Vista : We're off the clock. Come on.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Somebody... has to drive.
Ryan Wolfe : Well, I would, but I'm not tall enough to reach the pedals.
-
IAB Lieutenant Rick Stetler : [hearing a gunshot] SWAT is holding their position. It's not my fault.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : It's about the life of a hostage, Rick. It's not about you. I need your vest, please.
Uniform MDPD : Yes, sir.
IAB Lieutenant Rick Stetler : You're not going in there.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Have the bus ready. Let's roll.
IAB Lieutenant Rick Stetler : Stay on him close. This is a suicide mission.
-
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Ted, is there anyone I can contact, a wife or a girlfriend? Is that the justice you're looking for?
Mathew Sloan : You don't even know who I am.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : I know you're not Ted Wells.
Mathew Sloan : Tanya. She used to look up to me. You know? I made one mistake. One bad business deal.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : [muting the call] Look into public records. Check any recent divorce action. Plaintiff name's Tanya, surname unknown. Do it right now.
Dave Benton : Got it.
-
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : I didn't catch your name, friend.
Mathew Sloan : It's 'cause I didn't tell you, Horatio. Look, you can call me Ted.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Okay, Ted, is everybody okay in there?
Mathew Sloan : Oh, everyone is fine, so long as you keep answering the phone.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Okay. It's just you and me, Ted. We can all walk away from this together.
Mathew Sloan : No, no, no one is walking. You just listen! That's what you do here!
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : And I can do that, too, Ted.
-
Mathew Sloan : You have ten seconds!
IAB Lieutenant Rick Stetler : He is on his way. Is there anything that I can...?
Mathew Sloan : Four, three, two, one...
Jesse Cardoza : [shielding Danielle] No, you don't want to do this!
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : [taking the phone] This is Horatio.
Mathew Sloan : Congratulations, Lieutenant. You have just saved a life. Now let's see if you can save all of 'em.
-
IAB Lieutenant Rick Stetler : Receptionist, two techs unaccounted for.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Sounds like Danielle. Who are the techs?
IAB Lieutenant Rick Stetler : Ben Perkins, Sara Clark.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Okay, put 'em up in the elevator. Let's see how he did it.
Ryan Wolfe : I'll check into it.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Calleigh, how are we doing on the surveillance footage?
Calleigh Duquesne : The system's web-based, so we had to disable it to blind the hostage-taker from seeing what we were doing.
Dave Benton : We should have it back up soon.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : All right, so we comb the footage; lobby, reception, parking lot. See if we can get an ID.
-
Mathew Sloan : You probably think I'm a whack job, right?
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Ted, I don't think you're a whack job. People find themselves in bad situations all the time.
Mathew Sloan : That sums it up. The American Dream trampled on by anyone and everyone.
[threatening Jesse]
Mathew Sloan : Get that in front of the door! But you... you're gonna get us out of this one. You're gonna make sure justice is done. That's why I asked for you.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : [writing and circling the word "justice"] Ted... how can I help you get justice?
Mathew Sloan : Right, I tell you, and you ignore me like everybody else. No! This is my thing, my way, and my timetable.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Ted, I understand that, but I can't hold SWAT back forever.
Mathew Sloan : Well, I got something for them. Rule number three is... I see a cop, I kill a cop.
-
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Ted, do you want me to find Tanya? You two can talk it through.
Mathew Sloan : No, I think she's done talking to me.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : What if I were to set it up?
Mathew Sloan : [hearing a banging in the ceiling] What the hell is that?
Jesse Cardoza : It's just... just the AC, man.
Mathew Sloan : Horatio! You got SWAT coming in here?
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : It's probably the AC, Ted.
Mathew Sloan : I see a cop, I shoot! Don't you try me, Horatio!
-
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : What's Mr. Sloan's full name?
Darren Ripley : Mathew Sloan.
Frank Tripp : I'll check it out. Track down the ex-wife.
Darren Ripley : Yeah, track her down.
[laughing]
Darren Ripley : What, are you guys kidding me? What does he have anything to do with this?
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Mr. Sloan is seeking justice. You did something to him, and now he's sent me after you. Why?
Darren Ripley : We were legitimate business partners, okay? I was starting this new venture, this drive-in, check-cashing thing. I mean, we both went in 50/50.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Which means he put up his life savings, and you put up fake paper.
Darren Ripley : Yeah, that. Whatever. See, when the venture failed, he noticed that I wasn't too concerned about it, so he somehow figured out that I was counterfeiting. You know? Then he kept calling the Better Business Bureau. He kept calling the attorney general's office. He was trying to sic them on me. I mean, he was crazy, man.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : This man... has you facing federal charges now, so who's crazy?
-
Frank Tripp : You own Royal Vista Check Cashing, Mr. Ripley?
Darren Ripley : Uh, you know what? Here's a better question. When are you paying back the 100 grand that you took from me?
Frank Tripp : Pay you back? What the hell are you talking about? That money's not worth the lint in my pocket.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Yes, what my esteemed colleague is trying to say is that we know you're counterfeiting money.
Darren Ripley : [amused] Get out of here, man. You guys got some bad intel.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : The burn marks on your hands indicate a process that uses a corrosive material to strip ink off bills.
Frank Tripp : Then you print whatever denomination you want.
Darren Ripley : Okay, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Look, just listen. You guys came into my workplace, no warrant, nothing - which I was cool with, by the way - and now you're setting me up.
Frank Tripp : No, we didn't, but somebody wanted to make sure you went down for this.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : [putting a picture on the table] Why don't you have a seat?
-
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : [after Mathew was spotted at his ex-wife's house] So, what do we have?
Frank Tripp : Nada. Family wasn't here at the time. Patrol has fanned out, the canine unit's been, uh, notified.
Calleigh Duquesne : Was anything taken from the inside?
Frank Tripp : No. Pool guy across the street said he just showed up, kicked the door in, and high-tailed it out of here.
Calleigh Duquesne : Well, that's a new one. You kick the door in and then turn around and flee?
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : You know, friends, I think this is another message.
-
Mathew Sloan : Darren Ripley's gonna get what's been coming to him, right?
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Yes. But now he's facing felony counterfeit charges, Mathew. You should have come to me first.
Mathew Sloan : Not everybody can live in Miami, man. Out here in the sticks, we got a bunch of Keystone Cops that never make the 6:00 news, but you... you all over TV. Helping people.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : So your answer is to commit a crime in my backyard.
Mathew Sloan : Well, it worked, didn't it? I got justice.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Yes, but now you're a felon. And as a felon, Mathew, you need to turn yourself in.
Mathew Sloan : No, not yet. You got the person that ruined my life, but not the one that took all I had left.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Who would that be?
Mathew Sloan : That's what I need you to find out.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : What happens, Mathew, if I find you first?
-
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : [returning Jesse's LAPD badge] I think you forgot something.
Jesse Cardoza : My old shield. You find it Firearms?
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : [giving him an MDPD badge] Why don't you replace it with this? Welcome back, CSI Cardoza.
-
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : The security strip on this bill is glowing blue.
Jesse Cardoza : The security strip on a 50 is supposed to glow yellow.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : It should. It's fake. It's all fake. It's all counterfeit.
Jesse Cardoza : He wanted us to find it.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : And who made it. Let's go.
