Assemblyman Zamesca was the father of the young boy who was shot in A Bullet Runs Through It. It is even mentioned at the beginning of this episode, that his son was gunned down by drug dealers. edit »
Hodges comments to Stokes that Keppler & Catherine's mysteriousness implies an Internal Affairs investigation so much so that the department has started a pool on who his being investigated. The top three in the pool are claimed to be (in order) Stokes, Hodges & Grissom. edit »
When Nick is in Hodges lab and prints a result, for the first time the laser printer outputs the result with the upside down (like a normal printer will do). In all previous times and episodes the laser printers of the lab always printed the pages with the face up something that no laser printer does. In the first seasons of CSI (mentioned before) the laser printers was also making a dot-matrix sound-like. edit »
In different moments, in all shots in the fake crime scene you can see the reflection of the shooting (filming) team in Brass' and Keppler's sunglasses. You can even see two big white objects that from the reflection seem to be in front of the actors all the time, even when they move. These are used to help redirect both natural and lamps to help light the scene. edit »
Goof: When Keppler takes the SIM card out of the phone after calling 911 the card is backwards. The golden platine should be on the lower side, not the upper side. Also the card wouldn't fit in that way because one corner of the card is generally cut so people can insert the card only one way.

Even if he could get the card in that way, the phone shouldn't work because the pins can't connect to the platine. edit »

Undersheriff McKeen: Alright, which one of you screwed this up?
Brass: I'm looking at him. You dropped the ball, man. You never cleared this with the D.A and now she says she can't tell fact from fiction. She's not gonna file charges against Simon.
Undersheriff McKeen: She's a tight ass. I told her what I thought she needed to know.
Brass: Did you hear what I said? Now what're you gonna tell the Sheriff? edit »
Warrick: This glass wasn't shot out. Take a look at that. (Nick looks)
Nick: Spark plug?
Warrick: The only mark a spark plug makes is a nick in the center, now who would know about that?
Nick: Crooks...and cops. And hey, get this...the blood found in Holstein's car had high levels of EDTA...anti-coagulant.
Warrick: That means that the blood didn't come from his head, it came from his arm.
Nick: Which means this crime scene was staged.
Warrick: If Keppler is IA that means Catherine couldn't tell us anything even if she wanted to.
Nick: If this is all IA...B.S, then why play it out in the press? edit »
Nick: I can't find the evidence in the Holstein case.
Catherine: What do you want it for?
Nick: Because that guy who confessed to killing Zameesca didn't do it. The sheriff's jumping the gun.
Catherine: We have evidence and a confession, you can't just come in here and take over my case.
Nick: Is there a reason that you don't want me to see that file, Catherine?
Catherine: Nick, as your supervisor I'm ordering you to back off. edit »
Sara: Uh, it's freezing why are we having a meeting outside?
Nick: Because Catherine and Keppler are in there.
Greg: Have you guys been listening to Hodges?
Nick: No, and this isn't about Keppler being IA anyway, this is about Catherine having a false confession and standing by it.
Warrick: You'd better be able to back that one up, man.
Nick: Zameesca knew Sara and Greg's vic. He's dead, she's dead. Same drugs are found at both crime scenes. And then those same drugs were found at your crime scene?
Warrick: Could've came from the same supplier.
Greg: We see that all the time.
Nick: I don't think it's a coincidence.
Sara: You know, Catherine...(looks around) Catherine ordered Henry to step out of his lab without putting drug evidence away.
Greg: Why would she do that?
Warrick: I did see Keppler checkin' out Zameesca's file the yesterday, I didn't think anything strange of it then, but now...
Sara: Okay, so maybe there is a IA investigation.
Nick: I can't find the Holstein evidence.
Sara: What?
Warrick: Catherine put it in the temporary locker.
Nick: Yeah but why didn't she put it where it belongs?
Warrick: The Holstein bullet is a little too clean and Keppler didn't seem at all concerned about it, he said we'd see it in autopsy.
Nick: It's kinda hard to have an autopsy when you don't have a body, man. I talked to Doc Robbins and he's still tryin' to track it down. And the mortuary has no record of Catherine's call whatsoever.
Sara: Do we have access to any of the Holstein evidence?
Warrick: We got the car. (laughs and realizes) Catherine sent it to the impound.
Greg: Well, at least we know where it is.
Nick: Alright that's it, we're a team now, the four of us. We can't trust Catherine and we can't trust Keppler. I'm serious, I'm going to roll with this one.
Warrick: I'll roll wit'chu. You? (looks at Sara)
Sara (pauses): I'm in. (all look at Greg, he looks around nervously and then nods/shrugs) edit »
Catherine: I grew up in this town, I know all about playing the odds, you are gambling with my team.
Keppler: We talked about the risks going in, it's not like we can quit now.
Catherine: I'm not quitting, but I don't like it. And I hate lying to my guys. edit »

Newscaster: The city remains in mourning today as we try to make sense of Assemblymen Danilo Zameesca's death. After his only son was gunned down by a drug dealer, he dedicated his life to public service.

This is an allusion to "A Bullet Runs Through It" where Zameesca's son was killed for his bike so that the drug dealer could get away from the shootout. edit »
Episode Title: Redrum.

This is the word "murder" spelled backwards. It was used in The Shining by Stephen King and in both the film The Shining and the miniseries The Shining based on the book.

There was also an X-Files episode (8-6, #187) with this title.

If you actually hear a recording of the word "murder" played backwards, it sounds nothing like "redrum".

However, the reference made by Stephen King is of the word "murder" reflected in a mirror, meaning to look at the crime scene from a new perspective. edit »
