Warrick: Alright then, let's head upstream.
Catherine: I knew you were going to say that. (edit) Warrick: Sara?
Sara: I'm not touching anything. (Warrick watches the bombs)
Warrick: No. Put your stuff down and step away from the closet.
Sara: What?
Warrick: Put down your stuff and step away from the closet. (Warrick grabs Sara by the back of her vest and pulls her back. Sara looks back at Warrick. She follows his gaze into the closet and sees the pipe bombs. Sara slowly backs away from the closet and stands up)
Sara: Those are pipe bombs.
Warrick: Yeah. (in radio) Dispatch... this is CSI Brown. We're at the Durbin residence. We have explosives on the scene. Roll out bomb squad immediately. Roll out bomb squad. (Sara takes out a tool and kneels inside the closet) What are you doing?
Sara: There's blood evidence on the door. If the bomb squad detonates the place, it's gone.
Warrick: Sara.
Sara: It'll only take a second. (Sara uses the wrench to take the bolt off the door hinge. The first one comes loose and falls to the floor with a solid thud. Sara glances nervously up at the pipe bomb on the tool kit in the closet. It rocks in place. Sara stands up to get the bolt off the top of the door. Warrick hands her an electric screwdriver from his own kit)
Warrick: Here, try this. (Sara uses the electric screwdriver and gets the first screw off the door's hinge plate. It falls to the floor. She turns and looks at the bomb. It doesn't move)
Sara: Nice. (Sara removes the remaining screws off the hinge plate. Warrick tries to get the door off. It won't budge. He and Sara both rattle the door lightly to try to take it off)
Warrick: It's stuck.
Sara: I think we're gonna need a little push. (Warrick takes a deep breath)
Warrick: All right. On three. One... two... three. (they pull the door off the closet. The pipe bomb doesn't move) Can we get the hell out of this place now? (edit) Brass: Well, the kid gets murder, mom's an accessory, and dad gets felony explosives. It's a family-value pack. (edit) Grissom: If you're gonna be sick, Greg, do it in the sink.
Doc Robbins: Not in the drain pan.
Greg: I don't feel sick. (edit) Sara: I don't have a death wish and I'm not a drunk. In case you were worried.
Grissom: I'm not worried. I'm concered.
Sara: Isn't that kind of the same thing? (edit)
Catherine: I knew you were going to say that. (edit) Warrick: Sara?
Sara: I'm not touching anything. (Warrick watches the bombs)
Warrick: No. Put your stuff down and step away from the closet.

When speaking to the father, Brass mentions Timothy McVeigh. Timothy McVeigh was executed for his role in the Oklahoma City bombings on April 19th, 1995, which, to this date, was the deadliest incident of domestic terrorism in the United States (and was the deadliest act of terrorism, domestic or not, until the September 11th attacks in 2001).
(edit)
Bomb Tech: If you see me running, try to keep up.
This is an old joke that has been printed on T-shirts which read "I am a bomb technician. If you see me running, try and keep up." (edit)
