This is Detective Vega's first appearance of many on CSI. (edit)

(Eddie has taken a second mortgage out on the house)
Catherine: You set me up. Again.
Eddie: How, by taking our daughter to dinner?
Catherine: Get over here. (Catherine leads Eddie into the next hallway to continue to conversation)
Eddie: Oh, come on now! What?!
Catherine: You are so pathetic. Just so pathetic.
Eddie: Watch it, Cath.
Catherine: Sucking up to our daughter 'cause I caught you robbing me.
Eddie: The only thing I robbed you of is good sex. (he moves closer to her)
Catherine (scoffs): No sex is worth you. And you are not taking my daughter to a club with one of your music whores.
Eddie: Oh, they're whores? When I met you, you were taking your clothes off in a strip club.
Catherine: It was a job, Ed. (shows Grissom walking by seeing them arguing, then back to them) And it supported you just like every other job I've had including this one!
Eddie: Yeah? And who paid to close up your nose?
Catherine: You're such a bast... (she moves to slap him but he grabs her wrist and pins her against the wall) Let go of me.
Eddie: I'll let go of you when I'm damn good and... (Grissom comes over and pushes him off of her)
Grissom: Let go of her, Ed! (they look at each other) Catherine?
Catherine: Just get him out of here. (walks away)
Grissom: I don't ever wanna see you in this building again. This is our place of business. You understand that?
Eddie: I always knew you two had a thing.
Grissom: Go home, Eddie.
Eddie: Sure. (walks away) (edit) Warrick: This dummy cost over $500?
Catherine: Oh, yeah. He's worth it. (Catherine picks up the second stick and walks toward the dummy)
Warrick: Why?
Catherine: Well, look at him. He's lifelike, he doesn't talk, and he's self-
healing.
Warrick: He's "self-healing"?
Catherine: Yeah. We make a mistake in our calculations we just start over. (edit) (After Grissom gave the dogs a scent, the officers run along side the dogs. Nick watches them run)
Nick: Whoa! (to Grissom) Are we supposed to be able to keep up with those guys? (Grissom looks at Nick and motions after the dogs)
Grissom: Yeah! (Nick takes off after them. Grissom stands behind him with a smile on his face and slowly shakes his head. He laughs as he watches Nick run to catch up to the dog. He turns back towards the car) (edit) Sara: This sweatband might give us DNA and I could compare it to the samples I collected off of Jane at the hospital.
Grissom: Jane?
Sara: Our...Jane Doe. My "death imminent."
Nick: First-name basis, Sara? (edit) Grissom: Hey.
Sara: Any luck on 23rd street?
Grissom: I, uh, broke in my new shoes. That's about it. What'd the lab say?
Sara: The DNA from the ball cap is a match to the semen we found on our Jane Doe. But ... CODIS hasn't kicked out a name.
Grissom: So you're just...looking at missing persons reports?
Sara: We're not having any luck finding the shooter from his DNA with a belt loop so I thought I would at least try and identify the poor woman before she dies.
Grissom: Sara. Do you have any diversions?
Sara: Do I what?
Grissom: You max out on overtime every month. You go home and listen to your police scanner. (Sara looks at Grissom) You read forensic textbooks...
Sara: Yeah.
Grissom: Look, every day we meet people on the worst day of their lives. It's a lot to deal with. Everyone who's had any time on this job knows that you have to have a diversion in order to cope with what we see. What do you do for fun?
Sara: I chase rabbits. And...I read crime books. And I listen to the scanner.
Grissom: You need something outside of law enforcement. Catherine has her kid, you know? I sometimes... ride roller coasters. (Sara looks at Grissom again) What do you do?
Sara: Nothing.
Grissom: Okay. What do you like?
Sara: I don't like anything.
Grissom: You've got to find something to like. You can't get too close to the victims.
Sara: She's special...to me. I can't help it.
Grissom: If you don't find something they'll all become special and you'll burn out. (edit)

When Catherine and Warrick are testing to find the distance the shots were fired from, when Catherine shoots at the shirt that's 2 feet away there is no gunpowder around the hole. When Warrick puts the victim's shirt next to it, for comparison, there is now an inch of gunpowder around the hole. (edit) Sara mentions the title of the episode "Too Tough to Die" in the episode. (edit) While Sara is looking through the missing persons reports, she is singing "One Way Or Another" by Blondie. (edit) While Sara is looking through missing person's files, Grissom comes in and starts talking to her. In one shot her hair is in front of her face, the next it's behind her ear. This continues throughout the scene. (edit) Early in the show, the 'touching' scene when Sara sees the victim at the hospital is ridiculous. She appears to be preparing a rape kit. Male NOR female Cops/CSI's prepare rape kits, doctors do, and this scene is a good example of why. As Sara speaks to the comatose victim, she picks up the metal speculum vaginal cusco used in vaginal examinations and mentions how they are always "freezing". She thens proceeds to breathe on it to warm it up before insertion. Perfectly hospital level sanitary, right?

Also, when Sara arrives, the hallway outside the hospital room seemed quite busy. She asks the male Officer to leave for "privacy" sake, but the door to the room has an uncurtained window, and as she sits at the foot of the bed and begins the examination, that window would be just over her right shoulder. (edit)

Grissom: Release the hounds.

This is a popular saying of the character Mr. Burns on the show The Simpsons. (edit) Sara: St. Catherine...she was tough, she went against the Emperor for persecuting Christians. It took him two or three tries to execute her.

Sara is referring to St. Catherine of Alexandria, who tried to convince Emperor Maximinus II (309 - 313 A.D.) that persecuting Christians was wrong. He had her beaten and imprisoned, then sentenced her to death on the wheel, which fell apart at her touch. She was then beheaded. (edit)
