Unforgettable (TV Series)

Reunion (2014)

Dallas Roberts: Eliot Delson

Quotes 

• Eliot Delson : Problems with the monitor, Jay?

  Al Burns : Eliot, it's the murder at the St. Dimas. Carrie knew all those people.

  Eliot Delson : Al, please. We're called Major Crimes for a reason. It's major to you guys, it's major to me.

  Al Burns : That's nice.

  Eliot Delson : Of course, we host 1,200 reunions a year, which brings in millions of dollars worth of revenue.

  Al Burns : Okay, a little less nice.

  Eliot Delson : And it's hard enough to face down your tortured adolescence without getting your brains bashed in.

  Joanne Webster : [entering]  Ooh, and bashed they were. I've confirmed the murder weapon to be a standard issue claw hammer. Lacerations to the middle meningeal artery and perforating injury to the brain.

  Jay Lee : Not the most efficient way to kill somebody.

• Joanne Webster : Do you realize that more people were killed with hammers last year than with rifles?

  Al Burns : Not to mention all those smashed thumbs.

  Eliot Delson : So we're thinking blackmail. Maybe. Guy knows something about the girl's death, he comes to the reunion to squeeze whoever's responsible.

  [seeing Jo's look] 

  Eliot Delson : What?

  Joanne Webster : I'm surprised. You came up with a theory.

  Al Burns : And not a bad one, actually. Explains the hammer. Weapon of convenience.

  Joanne Webster : We also found steel shavings under the cranium, so you find me the hammer, and we can trace it to the body.

  Al Burns : I'll check with the hotel, see if any employees have lighter tool kits than ususal.

• Jay Lee : Okay, so Vicky's high school life is proving a little tough to reassemble. She didn't leave much of a footprint. But I followed up on that poetry thing. The school has all their yearbooks online. Turns out, she started a Victorian poetry club, but it only had three other members.

  Al Burns : [sarcastic]  That's a shocker. You get a list of the members?

  Jay Lee : You know I did. Meet Eleanor Yellen, 4.5 GPA. Went on to be an English major at Vassar. And we got Christine Ellis, cellist in the orchestra. But then there's... Greg Zoller. Definitely not a poetry club type. His school record reads like a rap sheet.

  Al Burns : Detentions, suspensions, mostly for fighting. Only class he got higher than a "C" in was auto shop. Yeah, this could be our guy. You got a real rap sheet?

  Jay Lee : Still waiting...

  Eliot Delson : Got it. Figured in for a penny, in for a pound, am I right? Behold. An expedited rap sheet on Greg Zoller. A couple of DUIs, burglary. Then, last year, he steps it up. Convicted for assault with a deadly weapon.

  Al Burns : What kind of deadly weapon?

  Eliot Delson : Working at Fast N' Lube outside Albany. Some guy gets on his nerves. Zoller goes after him with the first thing he can find: a claw hammer.
