Isabel Vaughn was a ungrateful little bitch. After all I did for her she though she could just walk away? We had a contract and it was legally binding.
So is a murder conviction.
(about George Kolavos) The man is taunting me, Mac. He sent me a dead rat as a message. Put yourself in my shoes.
Try stepping into mine. I'm in charge of this lab, responsible for everyone and everything that happens here. I admire your passion Stella but what you did is reckless. And more importantly, it could compromise any future criminal prosecution.
What I'm doing is perfectly legal!
And contrary to the policies of this lab and this department!
(seeing the table set with a variety of foods) Tell me this is not one of your weird cravings.
Only for science.
You were looking for me?
I was hoping to offer you a little a snack.
Well let me guess. This is another one of your famous reconstructions.
Just put one of these berries in your mouth and swab it around for a couple of seconds.
Lindsay I'm your boss, not a guinea pig.
Mac, I'm pregnant. Just humour me.

Hawkes should have followed proper protocol but he stepped over the line because somebody he loved got hurt by this guy.
Oh c'mon, you know I know that.
I know. Just... I want you to hold on for a second. You gotta realize that people can't just turn off their emotions when something horrible happens.
So what do you want me to do? Just ignore the fact that Colin's sweat is on our murdered victim's clothes?
The reason we follow FBI DNA protocol is to ensure an unquestionable conviction.
So we sit in here waiting for that perfect scientific connection while Colin could be out there raping and killing another innocent victim? I don't know about you, Mac but I can't live with that.
How does a worm from Brazil end up in a bathtub in Brooklyn?
Worms are like humans. You wanna know exactly where they came from, you can sequence their DNA.
We are talking wormtopsy.
Hey, but coincidences happen. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, they both died on the same day exactly 50 years after signing the Declaration of Independence.
Stella.
I hear you, Mac.
Danny?
Hey, Sid.
I got a message from Stella to hold off on the accident report on Laurel Downs, the vic from the bridal store. So I did a little more investigating on the body.
Find something?
Well, the cuts on her hand, they were fresh. So, I thought perhaps she fell when she was running, but I didn't find any trace of gravel, grass, or dirt. Also ruled out bite marks and nails, anything that would indicate, uh, you know, a chick fight.
Right. What about the pictures I sent over from the dress?
Right. Tried to match the cuts from the ornamentation. Again, no match. So, being a little preoccupied th-the inexplicable, I did some lunchtime OT, and I got a DNA report back.
Eleanor Ravelle's blood was in the cuts of Laurel Downs' hand?
Any way Laurel could have killed Eleanor, dumped her in the bathtub, then jogged over to the wedding dress sale?
No, I mean, the crime scenes are on the opposite ends of town. The T.O.D's are much too close together. Okay… how is this possible?
Stranger things have been known to happen. Mark Twain was born on the day Halley's Comet first appeared. He died on its next appearance, 75 years later.
Wow. You've been hanging out with Lindsay, Sid?
Hmm? What?
Coincidence. First of all, we find out that Laurel Downs was raped eight years ago by the same guy who killed and raped Eleanor Ravelle and now. I don't know why, Sid, but, I mean, these vics have gotta be connected.
Sheldon, you knew the samp didn't meet FBI protocol or this lab's standards. It could give you a false lead. We could end up bringing someone completely innocent. These results are circumstantial at best, and then you go and have Adam run the DNA anyway? I removed you from this case because you're personally connected to it. What were you thinking?
Mac, Colin Clark was in possession of a rape victim's necklace. His DNA on Eleanor's blouse proves he was near or on her body, he could be our killer and the rapist from eight years ago.
I realized that the evidence is circumstantial, but couldn't we still bring Colin in?
If we bring Colin in based on the results and don't have anything else to throw at him to get a confession, he could lawyer up, leave town.
So what do you want me to do? Just ignore the fact that Colin's sweat is on a murder victim's clothes?
The reason we follow FBI DNA protocol is to ensure an unquestionable conviction.
So we sit in here waiting for that perfect scientific connection, while Colin could be out there raping and killing another innocent victim. I don't know about you, Mac, but I can't live with that.
Mac...
Look, don't... try to defend him.
I'm not. Hawkes should have followed proper protocol, but he stepped over the line because somebody he loved got hurt by this guy.
Oh, come on, you know I know that.
I know. Just, just... I want you to hold on a second. You gotta realize that people can't just turn off their emotions when something horrible happens.
That's exactly why I pulled him off this case.

SMr. Sheridan
(admitting to killing Vince Nelson, because of the email) What was I gonna do? Get 25 to life for killing that son of a bitch? I see these perverts everyday. They waltz into my court, they get slapped on the wrist and then they go off and reoffend. The only treatment for them is death.
Det. Angell is working this case until IA is finished with their enquiry.
Enquiry? Is that what they're calling it?
They can't possibly think that Flack's responsible for Todd Fleming's death. I mean, he is so by the book. He doesn't even swear.
NMrs. Nelson
Vince was a normal guy, ok? A normal, boring, regular guy. He watched football in his underwear. He never took out the garbage unless I told him to. He forgot our anniversary year after year and tried to make up for it two days later with a bouquet of white roses. But I didn't care because he loved me.
Kill a man, and then chop him up into pieces.
Maybe the killer thought little pieces will be easier to dispose of. There is a certain logic
