Detective Ed Green
- Ed Green: Damn, I hate floaters. They creep me out.
- Lennie Briscoe: Oh, at least we're outdoors. Could be worse. Locked room, week-old body, middle of July, no AC.
- Ed Green: All right, all right. It could be worse.
- Anita Van Buren: The office. Isn't that where most men screw around?
- Ed Green: Why are you looking at us?
- Lennie Briscoe: Hey, Ed, as far as women are concerned, all men are guilty until proven innocent.
- Ed Green: That sounds like gender profiling.
- Anita Van Buren: Uh-uh. Fact of life.Men are dogs. So why don't you all go sniffing around his office and see who's in heat?
- Ed Green: Hey, what you got?
- CSU Technician: Female. Other than that...
- Ed Green: Age? Race?
- CSU Technician: I'm barely sure it's human, Detective, body's so decomp. Add in your fish and your crabs...
- Lennie Briscoe: Is it young, old?
- CSU Technician: Like I said. See for yourself.
- [she opens a body bag and Ed groans in disgust]
- Ed Green: Ugh... how long has she been in the water?
- CSU Technician: A while.
- Lennie Briscoe: You care to narrow that down a little?
- CSU Technician: I would if I could, but...
- Lennie Briscoe: Anything obvious? Uh, bullet holes, stab wounds?
- CSU Technician: Did I mention the eels?
- Ed Green: All right, all right. We get it. Thank you.
- [as the tech leaves]
- Ed Green: We'll be lucky if we get an ID.
- Lennie Briscoe: If we were lucky, we wouldn't have caught this case.
- Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers: Look, I'm not ruling anything out yet. I still need to do more x-rays, a tox screen. But don't hold your breath.
- Ed Green: That's all I've been doing.
- Lennie Briscoe: So how long was she in the water?
- Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers: More than a month, less than two. I'm sorry I can't be more definitive. However, you see this?
- [showing them an x-ray]
- Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers: It's a hairline fracture. Right cheekbone and eye socket.
- Ed Green: Somebody punched her in the face.
- Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers: Yeah, probably broke her nose. At the very least, a hell of a shiner the next day.
- Lennie Briscoe: Tough to swim with a broken nose. No wonder she drowned.
- Ed Green: You sure she didn't get that taking a header into the Hudson?
- Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers: No, this is a blow, not a fall. And a recent one. It hadn't started to heal.
- Lennie Briscoe: Well, until we hear different, we're gonna think of this as a homicide.
- Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers: Can't hurt.
- Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers: White female, 5'7", early thirties.
- Ed Green: Any prints?
- Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers: If she had fingertips.
- Ed Green: You got anything?
- Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers: Yeah, water in her lungs. She was alive when she went in.
- Lennie Briscoe: We were hoping for something more definitive, like maybe a bullet?
- Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers: Sorry.
- Ed Green: What are we talking about here? Homicide, suicide, accident? What?
- Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers: Look, what can I tell you? It's your classic CUPPI. Case unde...
- Lennie Briscoe: Case undetermined pending police investigation, right.
