Notes

add »
During the scene where Horatio sits with Marisol while she receives her treatment, the song playing in the background is "All At Sea" by Richard Walters. (edit)

Quotes

add »
(Marisol wants to stop her chemotherapy treatment since the side effects may make her unable to conceive a child )
Marisol: I just don't want to take that chance.
Horatio: I understand that, but... If we lose you then nothing can happen. (edit)
Tripp: Scare her?! We call that felony stupid. (edit)
Delko: (referring to the broken glass door) It doesn't take rocket science to figure out the point of entry. (edit)
(Talking to patrol officer about kidnapping)
Horatio: She's dead or dying. (edit)

Trivia

add »
When the kidnap victim calls Chelsea, the phone says No Sim Card inserted.
So no calls could have been made. (edit)
The cellular phone where the distress call was received from the kidnapped woman did not have a SIM card inserted, therefore it could not receive calls (only make emergency calls). Even if the phone was fully operational the phone screen shows that the ringer was turned off (crossed musical note) so it could not have rung. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Delko calls Kelly Olive Oyl, referring to the wife of Popeye, who always spoke through teeth clenched around a pipe, because her boyfriend's jaw was wired shut and he would not have been able to speak clearly. (edit)
