Goof: At the end of the episode, Grissom says that the boy was abducted at 6 years old, but previously it was stated that he was taken as an infant.
In this episode we figure out that Grissom's dog is named Hank. Coincidentally, Hank was also the name of the paramedic that Sara dated in Seasons 2 and 3.
Goof: When Nick is dusting for fingerprints on the piece of paper, in the casino, he touches it himself - several times - but isn't wearing any gloves.
Goof: When Warrick is down at PD, taking Mr. Michael's palm prints. You can see that Warrick failed to get ink on all of the palm.
Goof: The CSIs chase a suspect to a train that's pulling out of a railroad spur. The train has a passenger car amid a number of freight cars. This NEVER happens. Other than major metro commuter services, AMTRAK handles almost all passenger railroad business in the United States and its all on passenger only trains. Passenger trains require conductor/ticket takers where freight trains do not.
Grissom: I'm at a railroad spur about a quarter of a mile from the house. Jack: You taking a trip? Grissom: Carmen Davis's house was next to the tracks, too. Jack: So? Grissom: Freight trains carry bulk fertilizer. I think your killer is riding the rails.
Grissom: I've learned that sometimes you can go faster by going slow. Jack: Yeah, well, I like to go faster by going fast. Waiting around is not exactly my best thing. Grissom: I gathered that from your interogation technique. You know maybe you should go back to your hotel. Take a nap. Jack: Is this your office, really? By choice? It's not some surplus, overflow issue? Grissom: What's wrong with my office? Jack: Oh, I don't know, uh, why don't you tell me? Grissom: That's an radiated fetal pig. I used it to determine the affects of radiation on tissue. Jack: For what? Grissom: For fun. Sara : Hey, Gil I uh sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt. Grissom: No, no. It's fine. Jack Malone, FBI. Sara Sidle, CSI. Jack: Hi. Sara : Hello. I hear your abduction case is now a serial murder. Jack: Yeah. Sara : Well, uh, I got called into work early, but I did pick up Hank and I took him to the sitter. Grissom: Thank you. I'll see you when I see you. Sara : Later. (turns and leaves) Jack: Is Hank your kid? Grissom: Hank's my dog. She walks him for me sometimes. Jack: Oh yeah, that's how it starts. I have some experience dating in the workplace. Grissom: Really? And, uh, how'd it work out for ya? Jack: Undetermined.
Warrick: Adoptive parents had no contact with the kidnappers? They were not given any ransom demands? Jack: There was no motive. I couldn't even give the parents a reason. Grissom: Maybe there isn't one.
Nick: Why kidnap a kid, wait six years, then kill him? Catherine: Most four-year-olds will do what you tell them. Most ten-year-olds will do what they want.
Jack: When I heard about the ViCAP hit, I got here as fast as I could. Brass: Chopper from the Strip? That's nice. That's my tax dollars at work?
Officer: License and registration, sir. Suspect: Got it right here. (pulls out a gun and shoots the officer four times)
Grissom: Does the victim have circular indentations on her head? Doc Robbins: Yeah, do you want to do the autopsy, too?
Hodges: Sir, can I ask you something? What's it like on the federal level? You know, pay, working conditions... Jack: You want my honest opinion? There's a lot less competition in Vegas for a guy like you. The FBI has enough ass-kissers already.
Jack: Why'd you run? Michaels: Ummmmmmmmm, I was scared. I was afraid of getting caught?
Michaels: You know what this is? Police brutality. Warrick: Yeah, whatever.
Jack: Random kidnappings are extraordinarily rare. Grissom: Except in the US last year, there were almost a hundred. Somethings are just random. Jack: Have you ever tried telling that to the parents of a child who's been kidnapped? Grissom: Yes, actually, I have. Jack: And how'd that work out for you?
Catherine: What do you know about this guy? Jack Malone: Besides what you guys just told me? What you just told me.
Jack Malone: Starting to miss the lab? Grissom: No, I like a good field trip.

Vi-CAP (Violent Criminal Apprehension Program) was started by the FBI in 1985. It is used to track and compile information on violent crime, especially murder.
Grissom: I've learned that sometimes you can go faster by going slow. Grissom made a similar observation in the Season 1 episode "Crate 'n Burial." Grissom: ...it's my experience that, in situations like this, if you want to go fast, go slow.
