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.

Mathew Sloan : Jesse Cardoza. From California. Well, you're a long way from home, aren't you, Hollywood? You know, I've never been to Cali. Oh, you're an actor, right? Everybody there's an actor, right? I mean, even the governor.
Jesse Cardoza : I'm not an actor.
Mathew Sloan : So why are you here?
Jesse Cardoza : You forced us in here, as I recall.
Mathew Sloan : No, why are you *here*? In Miami?
Jesse Cardoza : I'm just on vacation.
Mathew Sloan : Why are you here at this crime lab?
Jesse Cardoza : Someone stole my car. I was just filing a report is all...
Mathew Sloan : With her?
Jesse Cardoza : Yeah.
Mathew Sloan : I find out you're lying, I'll kill her.
Jesse Cardoza : Yeah, and you'll leave here in a box. I guarantee it.
Mathew Sloan : Oh, man. I really hope you're an actor. 'Cause you scared me.

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.

Calleigh Duquesne : No wonder Jason recanted his story. He must've been terrified of his father.
Jesse Cardoza : You're so sure it was Mathew Sloan?
Calleigh Duquesne : Yeah. I mean, he did shoot somebody this morning.
Jesse Cardoza : I was there, Calleigh. Look, you've seen this guy's file. Before today, I mean, this guy's done everything, everything he can to get his life back together. I mean, first this Darren Ripley guy takes his money, but he couldn't find any recourse for that. Then he gets a TRO thrown at him for making harassing phone calls in the middle of the night. The guy works two jobs. That's when he's off. Hey, you've worked doubles before. How many times have you gotten off work, you called somebody not realizing what time it was?
Calleigh Duquesne : Once or twice.
Jesse Cardoza : And the medication that you found in the van, he was taking that so he could see his kid. That guy did not beat his son.
-
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.

Danielle Hansen : [after getting shot in the leg] How bad is it?
Jesse Cardoza : It looks like it may have hit the femoral artery, but I gotta get this bleeding under control.
[taking off his shirt]
Jesse Cardoza : Hey, you! Come here, come on.
[Perkins runs over]
Jesse Cardoza : Look, keep constant pressure on this wound, okay?
[taking off his belt to use as a makeshift tourniquet]
Jesse Cardoza : Sorry. How you feeling?
Danielle Hansen : It's cold. It's so cold.
Mathew Sloan : What's going on?
Jesse Cardoza : Her pulse is thready and tachy.
[feeling her foot]
Jesse Cardoza : She's lost distal pulse; she's going into shock. Take your lab coat off. Come here, let's cover her up.
[Sara and Perkins take off their coats]
Jesse Cardoza : Here you go. We gotta get her warm. Here we go.
Sara Clark : [giving him a clean shirt] Here.
Jesse Cardoza : [putting it on] Thanks. Okay...
Danielle Hansen : [weakly] Sure you wanna come work here?
Mathew Sloan : [realizing as Jesse hangs his head] You're a cop.

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.
-
Mathew Sloan : I want the building clear and everyone out. And then clear a path via the south stairwell.
Jesse Cardoza : You know, that isn't very smart. You're gonna be exposing yourself to SWAT out there.
Mathew Sloan : Yeah, well, I got a plan for that. You just get on the phone and tell them I expect to see Horatio out there.
-
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!

Calleigh Duquesne : This is interesting.
Jesse Cardoza : [taking a sheet of paper] The wife filed a petition for sole custody of her son three weeks ago.
Calleigh Duquesne : The Arringtons didn't say anything to me about it.
Jesse Cardoza : Sole custody on what grounds?
Calleigh Duquesne : It says "Pursuant to the minor's affidavits in family court." You know, the boy, Jason... he had a cast.
Jesse Cardoza : Well, papers concerning a minor are usually sealed.
Calleigh Duquesne : Well, let's figure out a way to open them.
-
Calleigh Duquesne : Let's suppose it's Lloyd the stepdad. Do we have any evidence to support that?
Jesse Cardoza : Well, you mentioned he had a broken arm.
Calleigh Duquesne : Yeah. Hospital said the boy suffered a distal radius fracture two weeks ago.
Jesse Cardoza : Well, Mathew lost custody. Hasn't been allowed to see his kid in three weeks. So he's not responsible for that.
Calleigh Duquesne : That's true. You know, what if this didn't happen the first time? What if the broken wrist is a result of repeated abuse?
Jesse Cardoza : Do it hard enough often enough, you get a radius fracture. It's the stepdad.
Calleigh Duquesne : Mm-mm.
Jesse Cardoza : What? Well, what are you thinking?
Calleigh Duquesne : Look at the size of the bruises.
Jesse Cardoza : All right, what about it?
Calleigh Duquesne : Well, these pictures are to scale. You're roughly the same size as Lloyd. Put your hand next to it.
Jesse Cardoza : [doing so] My hand's bigger than the bruise.
Calleigh Duquesne : Your hand is bigger than the bruise. Whoever jerked this kid around had a smaller hand.
Jesse Cardoza : Like a woman's. Someone's gotta talk to that poor kid.
-
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.
