Quotes
-
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.

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.
-
Darren Ripley : My clerk tells me you want to cash a check for $100,000?
Ryan Wolfe : Actually, we want to give you an IOU.
Darren Ripley : Funny. Get out of here, or I'm going to call the cops.
Calleigh Duquesne : Look, we are the cops, okay? We've got a hostage situation. People's lives are at stake. Here's our paperwork.
Darren Ripley : O-Okay, y-you know what? You can't just come in here and clean me out, okay? I mean, how am I gonna get my money back?
Calleigh Duquesne : I understand what you're saying, and I'm sorry. But if you have any other questions, you're gonna have to get in contact with Horatio Caine.
-
Calleigh Duquesne : Is everyone out?
IAB Lieutenant Rick Stetler : We don't know. We're doing a head count right now.
Calleigh Duquesne : You got any idea who these guys are?
IAB Lieutenant Rick Stetler : Well, witnesses say it's one guy barricaded in Firearms with the hostages. Where were you when it happened?
Calleigh Duquesne : I was in the locker room. I heard it, I couldn't see it.
-
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.

[first lines]
Natalia Boa Vista : Hey, Calleigh.
Calleigh Duquesne : Hi!
Natalia Boa Vista : I'm sort of surprised to see you. I thought you'd be taking a personal day.
Calleigh Duquesne : Why's that?
Natalia Boa Vista : Well, didn't Eric get out of the hospital yesterday?
Calleigh Duquesne : Yeah, he did. The department lawyers have advised that he and I not have any contact until the investigation into the armory shooting is closed.
Natalia Boa Vista : Well, you at least got a chance to tell him that you didn't try to shoot him on purpose, though, right?
Calleigh Duquesne : But I did shoot at him. He was a suspect fleeing an active crime scene.
-
Ryan Wolfe : So, we found coveralls and a tool belt stashed on the top of elevator. I'm guessing that's where he also put his motorcycle helmet and his weapons.
Calleigh Duquesne : Okay. This is what he looks like in the lobby. Unfortunately, we still don't have a good look at his face, and the Firearms camera was knocked out before we could get a look at him.
Ryan Wolfe : [looking at the logbook] I got a Ted Wells who checked in at 8:23 a.m.
Calleigh Duquesne : No, that's not gonna do us any good. That's the same alias that he gave Horatio. You know what? I'm gonna backtrack and see if we can figure out how he got here.
[rewinding the surveillance video]
Calleigh Duquesne : He drove himself. All right. That means the van's probably still in the parking lot.
Ryan Wolfe : That's great. I'll grab somebody and head over there. By the way, Ted Wells has been checking in all week. That's probably how he snuck all the weapons into the lab.
-
Calleigh Duquesne : Take a look at this. It's that guy Jesse Cardoza.
Ryan Wolfe : The new transfer from L.A.
Calleigh Duquesne : He used to work here with Horatio back in the day. He wasn't supposed to be here for another week.
Ryan Wolfe : You think he's armed?
Calleigh Duquesne : No. Look. There he is at reception, checking in his backup.
Ryan Wolfe : Well, I don't think the HT would've known he'd taken a police officer hostage.
Calleigh Duquesne : I'm afraid that if he figures out this guy is a cop...
Ryan Wolfe : He's gonna kill him.
-
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.
-
Natalia Boa Vista : [running a DNA sample through CODIS] Lloyd Arrington? Uh, okay. Well, that's gotta be a mistake, so let me just run it again.
Calleigh Duquesne : Wait a minute. What if Mathew didn't kick in the door?
Natalia Boa Vista : Eyewitnesses saw him there at the scene.
Calleigh Duquesne : No. I'm talking about the initial incident. The one the couple got the restraining order on. What if Lloyd Arrington kicked in his own door a month ago and left a hair behind?
Natalia Boa Vista : And it's been accumulating salt from the marine air since.
Calleigh Duquesne : Exactly. That's what Mathew wanted us to find. He was framed.
-
Natalia Boa Vista : Travers ran the white substance that coated the hair.
Calleigh Duquesne : And?
Natalia Boa Vista : It was sodium, and the mineral content suggests it was sea salt.
Calleigh Duquesne : Well, that's certainly helpful, seeing as Miami is surrounded by water.
-
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.
-
Calleigh Duquesne : Has your ex-husband approached you or attempted to contact you in any way?
Tanya Arrington : No. Here's a picture of Mathew.
Calleigh Duquesne : Thank you. Have you got any idea where he might go? Friends? Other family?
Tanya Arrington : We haven't seen him since the restraining order was issued last month.
Calleigh Duquesne : You have a restraining order against Mathew?
Tanya Arrington : When I filed for divorce, he didn't take it well.
Lloyd Arrington : Yeah. He acted like it was her fault he lost everything they had to that fraud, Ripley.
Calleigh Duquesne : So, are you saying that you believe your divorce had something to do with business dealings with Darren Ripley?
Tanya Arrington : I knew that guy was no good, but Mathew wouldn't listen. He lost all of our savings. After I left him, he would call at all hours, just show up at my work, wanting to explain himself.
Calleigh Duquesne : Tell me about the restraining order.
Lloyd Arrington : He showed up a month ago, freaking out, picked a fight with my front door, and then ran off like a coward.
Tanya Arrington : That was the last straw. I didn't feel safe. We got a TRO, which only made him angrier.
Calleigh Duquesne : Could have been what incited today's incident.
Tanya Arrington : Who knows why Mathew does anything? He had to agree to get on meds just to get visitation rights.
Calleigh Duquesne : What about your son? Does he have a cell phone? Would Mathew try and contact him?
Tanya Arrington : That's exactly why I won't let him have one.
Calleigh Duquesne : Well, I'd like to talk to him anyway, if you don't mind.
