Quotes 

• Carrie Wells : What's going on?

  Al Burns : Walter Morgan's in there with half his head blown off.

  Carrie Wells : Well, hallelujah, I guess.

  Al Burns : That's what I thought. Who killed him?

  Carrie Wells : Do we have to find out?

  Al Burns : What do you think?

  Carrie Wells : Shouldn't be too hard. Guy like that had a lot of enemies.

  Al Burns : He had a lot of friends. Big Manhattan lawyer getting shotgunned in the ass end of Queens? This case will get a lot of attention.

  Roe Saunders : What, not even a bialy?

  Al Burns : You got an appetite after all this?

  Roe Saunders : Hey, eating's a natural function. It's a part of life. What do they say? "In the midst of life I am in death"? So, in the midst of death, how about a little cream cheese?

• Joanne Webster : She thinks Morgan is trying to frame her for his own death.

  Al Burns : So he got himself murdered just to, what, to punish her?

  Joanne Webster : Or it wasn't him, and whoever killed him knew that Carrie was an easy target for a frame job.

  Al Burns : You do a GSR test?

  Joanne Webster : At her request. It came back negative. Of course, she's smart enough to know that you can get the same results just by washing your hands.

  Al Burns : Why'd she come to you, Jo? Way I figure it, I got maybe two hours before I have to call the captain and tell him what's going on, or we're getting bounced and sent to monitor evidence rooms all over this town.

  Joanne Webster : She's been investigating Morgan pretty aggressively.

  Al Burns : What? When?

  Joanne Webster : I'd say ongoing.

  Al Burns : Even after we came up empty and I pulled the plug?

  Joanne Webster : Yeah.

  Al Burns : What do you mean by "aggressively"? She meet with him?

  Joanne Webster : Twice. Once for dinner and last night.

  Al Burns : Last night? He was shot last night! How could such a smart woman be so stupid?

• Mike Costello : We got eleven ADAs a-a-and four TV stations and three papers and a gazillion bloggers all wondering what's up with the Walter Morgan investigation, and right now, I don't know the answer!

  Roe Saunders : All right, all right, look. Enough, okay? She's in there talking to Al. We'll figure it out.

  Nina Inara : Yeah, you're right. You're right. Look, Al will know what to do, okay?

  [cut to Al's office] 

  Al Burns : I don't know what to do.

• Roe Saunders : We got a shotgun at close range. Got, uh, one shell casing. Security guard found him. Had the good enough sense to get outside before he hurled.

  Al Burns : $400 shoes. What the hell was he doing here?

  Roe Saunders : We were lucky security even noticed an open door, 'cause nobody's used this place in months.

• Al Burns : You should've come to me.

  Carrie Wells : With what? You made me promise to stay away from him.

  Al Burns : If you'd told me about Rachel, I would have understood a little bit.

  Carrie Wells : No, you would have insisted that I stay away even more.

  Al Burns : For good reason, it turns out! You actually had dinner with the guy?

  Carrie Wells : I know how bad this looks.

  Al Burns : Do you? 'Cause I've never seen anything look quite this bad.

  Carrie Wells : I know that if I was anyone else, you would have arrested me by now, so thank you.

  Al Burns : That's right. But we're not anyone else, are we?

• Al Burns : What have we got? I mean, claiming Morgan killed himself to frame you for his own murder is not exactly a winning defense.

  Carrie Wells : Al, I don't know how he's done it. But this is his game, this is how he plays.

  Al Burns : What's the point of a game if you're not around to know you've won?

  Carrie Wells : [remembering their dinner]  Unless... he is.

  Walter Morgan : [flashback]  Perhaps it's better that you don't remember what happened on that day in those woods.

  Carrie Wells : You haven't told me anything I don't already know, Walter. You haven't told me anything that's not in the police report.

  Walter Morgan : To live with that terror every day, every minute...

  Carrie Wells : What else do you know, Walter?

  Walter Morgan : Have you read Robert Frost? "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening". "And miles to go before I sleep." He was a little like you. No time to dawdle, and "a little in love with death."

  Carrie Wells : That's like you.

  [returning to the present] 

  Carrie Wells : There was a poem. I wasn't getting it at the time. "And miles to go before I sleep." He's not done. Not by a long shot. He wants to see if I can beat this.

  Al Burns : Did he leave any clues as to how a dead guy isn't actually dead?
