Innocent (2004)

David Lee Smith: IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler

Quotes 

• IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler : Lieutenant Caine, do you really think the CSI that's responsible for destroying the original evidence should be assigned to the case?

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : I don't remember asking for your opinion, Rick.

  IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler : Well, the commander suggested IAB should check into this, find out how this accident occurred and which employee maybe involved in undermining a major murder investigation, not to mention compromising countless other cases. It is Delko, right?

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Eric, would you give us a minute, please?

  Eric Delko : Sure H.

  IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler : 'H'. You see, that could be interpreted as a lack of respect for a superior.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : You know, I am willing to take that chance.

  IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler : So as his superior, did Delko screw up?

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : No, if any body did, I did.

  IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler : You did, you weren't even in the building at the time. Yelina says you were at the PD.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : My lab, my oversight.

  IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler : You cover a lot of people's screw-ups, don't you? Delko in evidence, your brother and that girl. What's her name? Susie right?

  IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler : Rick, That is a private matter.

  IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler : Well, you see, I see a pattern of you withholding critical information and I've opened a file on you.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Walk away.

• [after it's proven Delko didn't deliberately try to destroy evidence] 

  Eric Delko : H, I'll be in the layout room.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Okay, Eric.

  [Eric leaves] 

  IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler : I suppose I owe you an apology.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : The man you need to apologize to, Rick, just left the room.

• IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler : It isn't my job to be liked.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Mission accomplished.
