Growing up all I wanted to do was play ball. That's all I could think about when I was a kid. One day starting in the majors. Crazy thing, I was actually making it happen. I was playing really well in the minors. Then one game everything changed. Whole day this pitcher is trying to shut me down throwing me inside, throwing me inside. And bottom of the eighth, he finally catches me, right in the head. So I figure I'm gonna put one in his head now. Before I could even get to the mound, the benches clear and I'm caught in a pile-up. Shattered my wrist. Baseball was over and I was having one of those, ya know, 'what now?' moments. But uhh, I guess back then, things were a little easier. All I had to do was change my career.

(on discovering a picture locket) Found a piece of jewellery in pretty good shape.
Based on age, I'd say they're probably the victim's parents.
The job never gets easier does it?
I can tell you I've been working here twenty-nine years. That's 4846 cases and names I will never forget. What gets me through are people like them. Folks who are going to be looking to me for answers.
Maybe this time they broke in to dump a car.
And a few spare body parts.
(as she comes out of the bathroom) You okay?... You alright?
... I'm pregnant.
(Sighs) You sure?
(she hands him a picture of the sonogram)
How long have you known?
A few weeks.
(voice over after Lindsay told him she was pregnant) See, the truth is I can't really blame her for not saying anything. See, a while ago I messed up, alright? I was with another woman, but I didn't say anything. But she knew. I think she knew, you know. A couple of months later, we got back together, things haven't really been the same and now this.
So if Mikey and all of his friends are accounted for, what was in the box?
Danny, I know you.
What's that supposed to mean?
I just mean that I'm not expecting anything.
[following her into the locker room] Lindsay.
Danny, hey... I can't talk right now.
What's going on?
What do you mean?
Come on. I saw you today at the health center. Are you sick?
Danny, you should go back to work.
[placing his hands on her shoulders] No, no. No. You should talk to me.
