Goofs:

In this episode James bring Jordan to an abandon (low-income) apartment building.  He tells Jordan this is where he grew up listening to his parents argue.  But in Ockham’s Razor we meet James’s adoptive parents and they live in the same house they’ve always lived in (a nice house in the suburbs).  And they loved James.  They say he ran away when he read his adoptive mother’s diary (at age 16) and learned that he was adopted.  The two stories don’t jive.

Quotes:

Woody: What can I tell you Jordan. You’re a glutton for punishment.
Jordan: At the risk of being thrown in the slammer…again. I need your help.

Capra: Excuse me? Do you work in the lab?
Nigel: Yes I do.
Bug: We do.
Nigel: How can I help you love?
Capra: I’m Detective Capra, homicide. Wondering if you might be able to give me a hand with something.
Nigel: Awfully busy right now.
Bug: Yeah, awfully busy.
Capra: I know I posed that as a question but I’m not really asking.

Garret: You know I like you though you don’t actually give me much reason to sometimes. (to Walcott)

Woody: Uh, you find him yet?
Rene: No, but we found your car. Right outside Max’s pub.
Woody: Yeah, I left it here last night.
Rene: Ok?
Woody: I, I mean yesterday afternoon. Captain Malden asked me to keep an eye on Max Cavanaugh.
Rene: Why?
Woody: Miss. Wolcott, when a Captain asks me to do something I don’t ask why.

Rene: You see Detective Hoyt, when a Captain of the Boston city police department is murdered; asking why is precisely my job.

Woody: Am I being interrogated here?
Rene: No, that’s obviously not my job…yet. And until then, I’m recommending that you be removed from this case.
Woody: Last time I checked you don’t have a badge, therefore you don’t have the authority.
Rene: Try me.

Garret: (looking under the hospital curtain) Jordan, you decent?
Jordan: (Whips curtain open) Am I ever? Wearing that gown with my ass hanging out got kind of old.

Garret: Where are you going?
Jordan: To the body.
Garret: You’re joking right.
Jordan: No, my Dad’s life is on the line.
Garret: Which is why this autopsy can not be handled by you, you know that.
Jordan: If the body shows evidence that he’s innocent then I need to see it.
Garret: Fine, what if it doesn’t?
Jordan: Then I need to see that too.

Bug: Dr. Macy said look, but don’t touch.
Jordan: And you’re my chaperone?

Capra: Oh, sorry. Uh, I thought the room was empty; I was just looking for a quiet place to saver the moment (holding up her cup of coffee.)
Woody: Uh, it’s, it’s very quiet in here.
Capra: Really, I wouldn’t be interrupting?
Woody: No, No. Actually you’d, uh, be saving me from myself.
Capra: Yeah, how’s that?
Woody: I have a fear of being left alone in tiny rooms. Childhood trauma, I was ice fishing with my brother and he locked me in the shanty.

Woody: I’m waiting to be debriefed by a Detective Capra; do you know who he is?
Capra: I’m new here. Sorry, that was rude. I’m, uh, Anne.
Woody: (shaking Capra’s hand) Anne, hi, hey, I’m Woody, Woody Hoyt.
(Capra continues to ask questions and Woody figures out he is being interrogated)
Woody: You know, you picked a pretty crummy way to introduce yourself Detective Capra:
Capra: Didn’t I mention my last name?
Woody: No, you didn’t.

Garret: Rene, who the hell do you think you are?
Rene: Actually, according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, I’m your boss, and as such you should know I could terminate your employment.
Garret: Fine, but don’t you walk in here and insult my staff.

(Lily walks up to Garret and Rene)
Rene: Well, I’ll leave you two alone, I’m sure you want your privacy.

(Garret and Jordan on the phone)
Jordan: I’m on my way to see the only person I can count on right now to help me.
Garret: Ok, I’ll try not to take that personally.
Jordan: Look Garret, I will call you when I got somethin’ to tell you, ok?

Capra: You must be Jordan?
Jordan: I must be. And that would make you?
Capra: (Shaking Jordan’s hand) Annie Capra. You’re a hard woman to find.
Jordan: Yeah, runs in the family.

Garret: This is a family, all of us a family and every family needs trust. You have a problem with Jordan you come to me, not the DA.
Peter: Ok, if we’re such a family then how come she lied to me?
Garret: She obviously doesn’t see you as a member of the family yet.

Bug (to Nigel): They say he only sleeps two hours a night; he’s like a bionic coroner.

Capra: A lot of money went missing in the Cahill bust. Captain Malden, his dead partner, Max Cavanaugh all working the same investigation. I was curious.
Rene: You know what curiosity did, don’t you?
Capra: Meow.

Nigel (to Jordan): Uh, we’ve got good new and bad news.
Bug: Give her the bad news first, she’s a pessimist.

Jordan: He (James) called my Dad; he’s the one who killed Malden.
Woody: All right, let’s say that is the case. How do we prove it?
Jordan: You’re the detective, you tell me.

Jordan: Sure it does, every call gets billed to someone. We just call the phone company and they’ll cross reference the time of the call with this number and that should give us a billing address.
Woody: Oh, they’re just going to give that information to anyone, (snaps his fingers) just like that.
Jordan: Not just anyone, but they will to a cop.
Woody: I’m in the penalty box here Jordan.
(Jordan gives Woody a desperate look)
Woody: No.
Jordan: Yeah.
Woody: No.
Jordan: Please.
Woody: No.
Jordan: One time.
Woody: Give me this phone (grabs phone from Jordan)

Woody (to Jordan): I can’t believe I had to give her my social security and badge number, any monkey with a typewriter can trace this back to me.

Capra: Is it me?
Woody: I know it seems a little hinky, but uh, believe me once you get to spend a little time with Jordan it makes complete sense.

Jordan: After all this I’m not stopin’ now.
Woody: You want to bet?

Woody: Wolcott’s not going to press charges against Max. Says there’s too much reasonable doubt to tri him.
Jordan: That’s big of her.

Max: I can not lie to you anymore Jordan. I won’t do it.
Jordan: Good.
Max: Because you’re not going to ask me anymore questions. You understand?
Jordan: Has any of it been true?
Max: It’s true that I love you. That I always have. That’s the only thing that’s important. That’s the only thing that’s real.
