Horatio Caine quotes from CSI: Miami

Delko

Detective Caine, I thought you were going to invest in a pair of sunglasses.

Horatio

I thought you were going to find them for me, Eric.

Look, I don't mean to be rude, but we're not insured for accidents like this.

Horatio

See, the problem is we're not certain this is an accident. And we don't know what killed these boys.

Yeah, well either way I just wanted to make sure my wife and I are not liable.

Horatio

I understand. I'm actually focused on the young men who lost their lives.

Horatio

Frank, does Phillip Hale have a record?

Tripp

No, he's clean, but I pulled up his social security number to find out where he works.

Horatio

And what'd you get?

Tripp

Well, when he's not running over old ladies, he's a a caddie at the Forty Palms country club.

Horatio

You're a pornographer, Mr. Enright.

It's adult entertainment. It's a multibillion-dollar business. A very legitimate movie business.

Horatio

Well, then, roll credits, Mr. Enright.

Horatio

That's a wrap.

Horatio

[Catching Kyle staring at a waitress.] Subtle.

Kyle

Yeah, well, twelve month tour in Basra will do that to you, I guess. You know, I think she likes me.

Horatio

I think it's the uniform.

Kyle

Yeah, more like the man wearing it.

Walter

That's strange, this shouldn't be turned on.

Horatio

How do you mean?

Walter

I disconnected the battery before I processed it, and I left it that way.

Rick

Battery's still connected.

Walter

Yeah, I got eyes, pal.

Horatio

[seeing their victim at the crime scene] Dr. Loman. I think we can safely say "overkill".

Tom

Absolutely brutal. She was struck at least nine times, with so much force and velocity that each blow on its own could have been fatal.

Horatio

What about a murder weapon?

Tom

Not sure yet. But judging from her injuries and the varying direction of the blood spatter, whoever did this was swinging wildly, from several different directions and angles.

Horatio

And totally out of control.

Tom

And fueled by rage.

Horatio

Yes. Someone... was very, very angry. Thank you, doctor.

20 years. I gave my life for this, and what do I got to show for it? I got high blood pressure, I got two ex-wives and I got a pension that ain't worth spit.

Horatio

We all do, that's the nature of the sacrifice.

Horatio

Keith, listen to me. When someone lies to me, it really, really hurts my feelings. You're Starling's boy. You've been with him the whole time, right? Go.

Eric

How did he get you to do it? Money?

You cops are all the same. You think people are just motivated by money.

Eric

We know you worship Starling. How did he convince you to kill a cop?

What are you talking about? Nobody said...

Horatio

A police officer was killed. A police officer was murdered. That's on you. In the state of Florida, Keith, it's a mandatory death sentence.

Eric

We'll get him, H.

Horatio

If it's the last thing we do.

Loman

I like to start my excavation at the feet, get an outline of the body first. But this time I can't find them.

Caine

And why is that?

Loman

Because he doesn't have a body!

I didn't kill her. I didn't even get a shot off.

Horatio

Well, you know what, my friend? If I find out you're lying, the same won't be said of me.

Horatio

You... are under arrest for solicitation of murder and rape.

You have no evidence.

Horatio

I am *loaded* with evidence, my friend.

What are you gonna do? You're gonna kill me out here?

Horatio

You know what? Believe me, that's a tempting offer. But for today, I'm going to show you what the next thirty years is going to be like.

And how are you gonna do that? [Perkins gets tossed through the trailer's back window]

All right, look. I know how this looks, and what you guys might be thinking, but I did not hurt Connie.

Frank

Explain, then, why you swapped out her mouth guard with one laced with ipecac.

Uh, I didn't.

Frank

You molded it yourself, idiot.

Horatio

Which means we can match it to you.

Look, not my finest hour, I will admit that.

Horatio

It's also gonna bring you an assault charge.

Horatio

Unlike the beating you gave her.

No, I didn't. I just- I wanted to get her a little sick so she couldn't play.

No, I just want to see my team win.

Frank

Well, I'm the biggest sports fan you'll ever meet, but that is just plain stupid.

Are you a righteous man?

Horatio

I am a servant of the taxpayers, Memmo.

You and I are not that much different. You do what you have to do to protect your people, just as I do.

Horatio

Which included killing my wife. [flashback of Marisol getting shot]

I did what I had to do. It was never personal, Caine.

Horatio

It was to me. [flashback of Horatio's last moments with Marisol] It was to me.
