Episode Quotes

Duke Tomasick: I'm sorry, John.
John Doggett: You framed Fassl.
Duke Tomasick: You saw how it was going down. We arrested him at the scene, but he left no prints, no hair, no fibre. Nothing to actually tie him to the murders.
John Doggett: How did you do it?
Duke Tomasick: It took a... part of a hair sample that was found at a previous murder and I put it in with the evidence from our crime scene. Johnny... it was the one and only time I ever did anything like that. I was scared Fassl would walk. I couldn't let that happen. Not when I knew that... I knew he was guilty. Guilty. God almighty.
John Doggett: You know this is going to come out. I mean, no-one's going to hear it from me but... but I can't put Agent Scully on the spot. I can't ask her to lie.
Duke Tomasick: I don't want you to.
John Doggett: Duke, you son of a bitch! This is a felony! I don't know how I can forgive you for this. You break my heart.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (crew or equipment visible): After Assistant D.A. Damon Kaylor is murdered, Fassl kneels down over the body. As the camera pulls up above the scene, you can see the base of the camera hoist roll into view from the left.
