Quotes

add »
Riaz: I don't think you know how this is going to end, Caine.
Horatio: I know exactly how it's going to end.
Riaz: Go home.
Horatio: I will, Antonio, when this is over. (edit)
Yelina: Why would anyone cut the tips off of latex gloves?
Horatio: To make heroin pellets.
Yelina: Are you saying my son is muling drugs? (edit)
Ryan: Just because your husband was a bastard doesn't mean they all are.
Natalia: That's low... Ryan.
Ryan: No, Natalia. That's low. (edit)
Ryan: Now hold on. There's nothing that says I have to take a trainee with me. I can process a crime scene by myself, thank you.
Calleigh: That's true... but you won't.
Ryan: Are you sure you want this to be your first act as boss for the day?
Calleigh: It's my fifth, so get going. (edit)
Ryan: Calleigh Duquesne, large and in charge... by large, you know I mean in terms of your reputation, and responsibility, and... you look very beautiful today.
Calleigh: Well, that's a... that's a nice save. (edit)

Trivia

add »
When Scott shoots his stepfather outside the crime lab, Natalia and Ryan hear the shot and spin round, after which follows a 'frozen time' camera shot leading out of the lab to where Scott is holding the gun with the bullet still in midair.

It would have to be the slowest bullet ever for it still to be travelling that long after it was fired. (edit)
Continuity error: When Yalena and Horatio are trying to locate Ray Jr., she goes to to put the GPS device in Horatio's left hand, but then the shot cuts and you see him taking it with his right. (edit)
Goof: During the initial scenes of the episode, were Riaz runs into Horatio outside the police station, a bus passes by and Horatio disappears behind the bus. The bus didn't really go between Riaz and Horatio, it passed to one side of them, the camera angle made the disappearing trick possible, plus there was a blue car in between Horatio and Riaz. (edit)
When Horatio sends the scan of the leaf via PDA to the lab in Miami from Rio, there is a "CSI Shot" zooming out of Brazil and into Miami from a satellite's point of view. However, the zoom out of Brazil seems to originate from around Recife, a city near the equator, which is over 1,500 miles northeast of Rio de Janiero, where Horatio and Eric are supposed to be. (edit)
Natalia Boa Vista has become a CSI, and is currently being reluctantly trained by Ryan. (edit)
