Quotes 

• Greg Yates : [to Dr. Warner after looking at photographs of Nadia's death]  Doctor, could Miss Decotis' injuries have been caused by her prostitution?

  Dr. Melinda Warner : It's unlikely. She was savaged.

  Greg Yates : Savaged, you say? How so?

  Dr. Melinda Warner : In addition to the blunt trauma and strangulation, there were cuts on her nipples and external genitalia.

  Greg Yates : And her anal sphincter, was that torn?

  Dr. Melinda Warner : Yes, it was.

  Greg Yates : And these injuries, though not fatal, they would've been painful?

  Dr. Melinda Warner : Very. She died a slow death.

  Greg Yates : How long did she survive after the first attack started?

  Dr. Melinda Warner : Thirty minutes. Maybe longer.

  Greg Yates : And she would've been in agony all through it?

  Judge Elana Barth : Mr. Barba, not to put words in your mouth, but I'm willing to entertain an objection if you have one.

  Rafael Barba : I'm fine, your Honor.

  Greg Yates : Doctor, was she in a lot of pain?

  Dr. Melinda Warner : Yes. I'm sure she was.

  Greg Yates : Were there signs of struggle?

  Dr. Melinda Warner : Yes. The skin was torn around the ligature marks.

  Greg Yates : What goes through a victim's head in their final moments?

  Attorney Crane : Your Honor, may I please speak with my client?

  Greg Yates : No, I'm not done here.

  Attorney Crane : Short recess.

  Greg Yates : Sit down.

  [Crane takes her seat] 

  Greg Yates : [to Dr. Warner]  Back to Nadia. Would the terror, the fear have flooded her with adrenaline?

  Dr. Melinda Warner : I can't answer that.

  Greg Yates : Would she have awareness of what was going on? Would she understand that these were the final moments of her life?

  [Dr. Warner doesn't answer] 

  Greg Yates : Come on, doctor. We are both medical people! Use your knowledge!

  [looks around to see that the entire courtroom is staring at him] 

  Greg Yates : Or... Or don't.

• Greg Yates : Don't you just hate it when you kidnap a girl and she won't stop kicking the back of your seat?

• Nadia : [to Yates]  Let me go.

  Greg Yates : Oh, all the girls say that. "Please don't kill me. I'll do whatever you want." Pretty soon, you'll beg for your life and a little secret: towards the end, you'll cry for your mama.

  Nadia : Not me.

  Greg Yates : Oh, you will.

  Nadia : You know what's gonna happen to you?

  Greg Yates : You're a funny girl.

  Nadia : If you kill me, Hank Voight is gonna track you down and make you wish you'd never been born.

  Greg Yates : Enough small talk for now.

  [knocks Nadia out]
