Without a Trace (TV Series)

Confidence (2003)

Eric Close: Martin Fitzgerald

Quotes 

• Martin Fitzgerald : Fiancé. I can't get much out of him.

  Jack Malone : Smells like a brewery in here.

  Martin Fitzgerald : Yeah, you noticed?

  Danny Taylor : What, is he still drunk?

  Martin Fitzgerald : Nah, he's just fairly hung over.

• Martin Fitzgerald : Doesn't seem like you kill somebody for ripping you off on a painting.

  Samantha Spade : Certainly not those people. They'd probably just re-fill your iced tea. You know, it sounds more to me like Whitney knew she was gonna get caught, and she ran. I'm driving.

  Martin Fitzgerald : No, I've seen you drive.

  Samantha Spade : I'm driving.

  Martin Fitzgerald : [groaning as he movies to the passenger seat]  Ah, where's the air bag?

• Martin Fitzgerald : You see all this beautiful oceanfront property? It's all fake. We called Cozumel, Midtown Trust, we checked out their business records. There's no connection to a hotel chain. There's not even a planned resort.

  Danny Taylor : Yeah, it looks like Whitney trolled the city for potential targets; mostly sons and daughters of rich families anxious to make some money on their own.

  Martin Fitzgerald : Yeah, she promised them a quick return on their initial investment, plus VIP treatment at this luxury resort.

  Danny Taylor : Early investors made a killing. Word spread, the money poured in. The second round of investors didn't see zip.

  Vivian Johnson : A Ponzi scheme.

  Martin Fitzgerald : Exactly. And by the time they figured out what was going on, the money was gone and Whitney had reinvented herself somewhere else.

  Danny Taylor : Except this time. She never finished the con, and she still has $400,000 in her corporate bank account.

  Vivian Johnson : Maybe one of her marks found out they were being swindled and got to her.

  Danny Taylor : I'm on it. Here's a list of investors from her bank records.

• Martin Fitzgerald : Nice to see you're enjoying the fruits of your labor, Vohland.

  Lucas Vohland : Excuse me?

  Martin Fitzgerald : You remember me? Seattle, '99, counterfeit PC chips?

  Lucas Vohland : Sorry, I'm terrible with faces.

  Martin Fitzgerald : Are you any better with names? Like Dennis Ricci or Timothy DeLeia? You were both.

  Lucas Vohland : Is this your girlfriend?

  Samantha Spade : I'm his partner.

  Lucas Vohland : Well, you're a lot better-looking than his last one.
