Eleventh Hour Season 1 Episode 1

Mr. Gifford: When my son died my life was over!
Hood: It's called grief. It's natural.
Mr. Gifford: I want him back.
Hood: What you're doing is only making your pain intolerable!
Mr. Gifford: What could be worse than my son dying?
Hood: Your son dying over and over again.

Mr. Gifford: You ever lost a child? How can you possibly know what I'm going through?
Hood: Two years ago my wife died. I nursed her 'til her last breath. Every day I looked for some ... little sign, that helped me to believe she might get better. There isn't a day that passes when I don't wish she was back.

Rachel: We shouldn't be doing this. It's a blind risk factor for you, based on what? A hunch?
Hood: Once upon a time, gravity was just a hunch.

Rachel: You don't know if this girl is involved with Geppetto and you want to go and bang on some billionaire's door in the middle of the night with no real justification? (Hood nods in agreement) Don't push me Hood. I won't let you wear me down like you did the others before me. I've never failed in any assignment and I don't intend to start now. (hands him the key card) Settled. If you need me I'll be right down the hall.

Rachel: Why does the name Geppetto sound so familiar?
Hood: You mean apart from being Pinocchio's dad?
Rachel: Right. (pauses) You know, I never understood that story. An old wood carver wants a son so baldy that he makes one of his own? Get a wife, why don't you? Weird.
Hood: Rachel...
Rachel: Mmhh.
Hood: You're brilliant.
Rachel: I know. (Hood stands up and leaves). Why? Why am I brilliant?

McNeil: He looks like he can handle himself. What does he need you for?
Rachel: Dr. Hood is a high priority asset. He's a brilliant biophysicist but he spends most of his time in his mind, so I have to watch his back.

Hood: I need you to help me save a life, but it could mean your job.
McNeil (looks at child): Would I be doing this in the name of science or the law?
Hood: How about in the name of good?

(Rachel races into hotel bar wearing a robe with her gun pointed)
Hood: Oh crap. (pulling panic button from pocket) I must have sat on it.
(Rachel rolls her eyes)

Rachel (checking to see if Hood knows his cover name): What is your cover name?
Hood: Mr. Smith.
Rachel: Jones.
Hood: Mr. Jones.

Hood: Look for families who've lost a son.
Rachel: What makes you think we'll find it here?
Hood: Whoever fronts Geppetto has got to be wealthy. (Hood and Rachel exchange a smile) Cloning's a very expensive business. The poor die in silence. The rich die in public. That's the way it's always been, so keep looking.
Rachel: For what, small ads under human cloning?

Rachel (leaving vet's office): That was a waste of time.
Hood: In science, a negative result is just as important as a positive one.

Rachel (to Hood after he steps in front of a moving car): What was that?
Hood What?
Rachel (angrily waving arms): That! With the arms!
Hood (out of breath holding up a card): I got the license plate.
Rachel (exasperated): Why do I bother?

Will (regarding the cloned fetuses): Praise God for choosing me to give them a decent burial.
Rachel: It's a shame he didn't choose you to tell the cops instead.

Hood: Hello Will.
Will: Do I know you?
Hood (holds up a crucifix on a chain): We need to have a talk.
Will: The cops never charged me. Who the hell are you?
Hood: By nature, a deeply sensitive person, but she's not.
Will: Get lost.
Rachel (after punching Will in the stomach): Sugar rush.

Rachel (explains why she's assigned to Hood): You see, he's got this annoying habit of telling the truth and the truth hurts a lot of people's pockets. (glances in Hood's direction) And no I'm not free for dinner.
(McNeil gives her a questioning look)
Rachel: It's in the eyes, Detective McNeil.
