Quotes 

• Gil Grissom : Nick. You failed your firearm qualifications. You can't be here.

  Nick Stokes : Oh yeah, well, I'm takin' it again, day after tomorrow. So I figured I could work.

  Gil Grissom : Not in the field.

  Nick Stokes : You're serious?

  Gil Grissom : You're in violation just carrying a weapon.

• Gil Grissom : [to Sybil]  Did you injure yourself, Mrs. Perez?

  Sybil Perez : [looks down and sees a bloodstain on her shirt]  Oh, a nosebleed.

  Gil Grissom : That's a lot of blood. I'm going to need to take your shirt.

  Sybil Perez : Why?

  Gil Grissom : If you like, I can have someone follow you home so that you can change.

  Sybil Perez : You think we had something to do with it? Our daughter is missing. She's out there somewhere alone and scared. What are you doing about that?

  Gil Grissom : I'm just collecting evidence.

  Sybil Perez : Fine. Here!

  [removes her shirt and throws it at Grissom] 

  Sybil Perez : Take it! Go find her!

• Daniel Perez : [to Grissom in a church]  I didn't realize until today how lucky I am. I know pretty much how and when I'm gonna die. Most people don't. It's what they're afraid of.

  Gil Grissom : Was your sister afraid?

  Daniel Perez : Never. I'm 11 years older than her and she took care of me. She was my best friend, and I miss her. As much pain as I caused her and she wouldn't give up, and she... she wouldn't let me, either. That's why... during the last relapse, I made my parents swear that it was the very last time.

  Gil Grissom : But then your kidneys failed, and they broke their word, huh?

  Daniel Perez : They told me they... swore not to fight the cancer, so this didn't count. I wasn't gonna lose this fight. I couldn't watch her suffer anymore.

  Gil Grissom : This wasn't a mercy killing, Daniel. This was an execution. Bone marrow, transfusions... that's her blood in your veins. It dripped out of your nose onto the blanket while you were killing her. If you cared so much for Alicia, why didn't you take your own life instead of hers?

  Daniel Perez : Suicide isn't an option. It's an unforgivable sin in the eyes of God.

  Gil Grissom : But you believe that your god forgives murder? If that's your defense, it won't keep you out of jail.

  Daniel Perez : [in tears, crying]  But my death will. See, I've got about six more months. I'll be dead before there's even a trial. I... I do want to thank you, though.

  Gil Grissom : For what?

  Daniel Perez : For speaking for Alicia. You're probably the first person in her life to think only of her. You know, you may not believe in God, sir, but you do his work.

• Catherine Willows : [to Gil]  Have you been to bed?

  Gil Grissom : Yes.

  Catherine Willows : Did you sleep?

  [pauses] 

  Catherine Willows : Me neither. She was the same age as Lindsey. She was trying to hitchhike.

  Gil Grissom : Where was she going?

  Catherine Willows : Fremont Street.

  Gil Grissom : Was she buying drugs?

  Catherine Willows : No! She's twelve. She's... just so angry. She doesn't talk to me.

  Gil Grissom : Well, if enough people knew what was out there hunting them, they'd never leave their house. I think you need to sit her down.

  Catherine Willows : Well, I don't want to scare her. I don't want my daughter to be this... frightened, paranoid kid who's always looking over her shoulder.

  Gil Grissom : Catherine, there's a big difference between scaring her and preparing her. And all the reasons why you should are in that room.

• Gil Grissom : Alicia's cause of death?

  Dr. Al Robbins : Cardiopulmonary arrest.

  Gil Grissom : Time of death?

  Dr. Al Robbins : That's a little trickier. No solids in the stomach contents, just a milky liquid. Liver mortis was fixed and deep purple with a vitreous humor potassium level of 20 millimoles per liter with faint putrefaction. So, I'd say she's been dead about... 44 hours between midnight and 8:00 A.M., the day of her kidnapping.

  Gil Grissom : Which means April Perez was lying about the abduction.

  Dr. Al Robbins : Yep. Story's got more holes than her sister's bones.
