Out of Time (2009)

Denis O'Hare: Evan Talbot

Quotes 

• Lieutenant Horatio Caine : We believe that a DNA test will confirm the blood found on Hollings will match the victim.

  Evan Talbot : You have a pinhead-sized sample of blood. You can't run that for DNA.

  Jesse Cardoza : For one test, we can.

  Evan Talbot : Yeah, the defense has the right to run their own DNA test. And if you use the sample up, there's none left for them.

  Jesse Cardoza : You're saying if we test it, we can't use it against the guy, and if we don't test it, we can't get the guy.

  Evan Talbot : Yeah, that's the law. Excuse me, I have to be in court.

  Jesse Cardoza : Well, the law just screwed us.

• Evan Talbot : Let the record reflect that the State has presented sufficient evidence to show that the defendant, Arnold Hollings, committed criminal acts, that there is probable cause to believe he battered, assaulted, and killed Amy Bowers with malice and forethought, and that he laid in wait at her residence, implying premeditation to said criminal acts. In light of these charges, the defendant, Arnold Hollings, is hereby bound over for trial and charged with murder in the first degree.

• Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Arnold Hollings is good for this. These results place him in the victim's car.

  Evan Talbot : No. It says that he was in *a* car when an airbag deployed. But what if he crashed his own car?

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : On the same day his employer was murdered?

  Evan Talbot : It's possible. That's all a judge cares about. Besides, wasn't the guy a gardener? So, possible that the residue on his clothes came from fertilizer or weed killer.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : So grant me the warrant, we'll confirm the Griess test, and get him off the street.

  Evan Talbot : Is this even an accepted application of the Griess in any county in Florida?

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Not yet.

  Evan Talbot : Oh. So you're bringing me junk science, is that it? You trying to put a loss in my column? I don't think so. Besides, I agree with your partner, Sullivan, on this one.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : [surprised]  He was here?

  Evan Talbot : Yeah. Helping me to put the husband away. Slam dunk.
