Quotes
-
Detective Adams : Anyway, I went in with my partner and a team of five blues. We searched from ceiling to cellar.
Ed Green : Yeah, you found the knife.
Detective Adams : Wrapped in a dishrag. It was hidden under a loose floorboard in his closet.
Detective Lennie Briscoe : But the blood on the knife wasn't Leanne Testa's.
Detective Adams : Hell of a thing. This Fallon guy...
Ed Green : Yeah, the Exoneration Project.
Detective Adams : Got a court order, did family DNA against the knife, proved it wasn't Testa's.
Detective Lennie Briscoe : Grimes always said that the knife was planted.
Detective Adams : Well, of course he'd say that. Who knows? He probably killed somebody else.
Ed Green : Yeah, that's why we need to run that knife past forensics, see if it matches any open cases.
Detective Adams : Well, after Fallon had it tested, it went back to the M.E.'s office. Ought to still be there.

Detective Lennie Briscoe : So, that day, when you found the knife in Grimes' apartment, anything strike you as fishy?
Detective Adams : Well, I didn't actually find it. Some uniform, got his shield a few years back. Reynolds, Daniels, something like that.
Ed Green : Not Kenny Daniels?
Detective Adams : Yeah, Kenny Daniels. That's it. You know him?
Ed Green : We were at the same for a while, the 29. I ain't seen him in years.
Detective Lennie Briscoe : He the kind of cop that would plant evidence?
Ed Green : Not the Kenny Daniels I knew. He was a stickler. By the book. He drove me crazy. Thought I was a cowboy. He'd always say "Dot your 'I's, cross your 'T's."
Detective Lennie Briscoe : People change.
-
Detective Adams : We got an anonymous tip about the Testa case. Judge signed the search warrant.
Ed Green : Off an anonymous tip?
Detective Adams : Back in '84, we had a couple political appointees, they let us take a few more procedural shortcuts than they do now.
Detective Lennie Briscoe : Ah, the Regan years.
