Skeet Ulrich: Eddie Martin

Quotes 

• Eddie Martin : I wish I could say it's good to see you, but it's not

  Carrie Wells : Right back at you! How did you find me?

  Eddie Martin : For a smart girl, that's a pretty dumb question

• Jay Lee : You need something else to weaponize it.

  Al Burns : What?

  Jay Lee : Copolymer transethermite.

  Eddie Martin : Well, you're gonna have to help me out. I failed science.

  Carrie Wells : Failed history and PE, too.

  Al Burns : Who fails PE?

• Al Burns : Jay, we just missed him. They knew we were coming.

  Jay Lee : How's that possible?

  Eddie Martin : Who else knew?

  Carrie Wells : Well, Eliot was keeping Narcotics looped in.

  [remembering interactions with Lt. Sartain] 

  Carrie Wells : Wait a second. Jay, check the ballistics on Vlad's gun. How many bullets were left in the clip?

  Jay Lee : [checking]  Got it. Four, Carrie.

  Carrie Wells : Vlad's gun was out of bullets when he was shot. I heard it. Sartain switched the guns.

  Eddie Martin : Sartain? From Narcotics?

  Carrie Wells : Yeah.

  Eddie Martin : He killed the DeMars brothers?

  Carrie Wells : Yeah, but why?

  Jay Lee : Hey, Carrie, I'm on with Brooklyn South. Sartain took off two hours ago and never came back. He's gone.

  Carrie Wells : And so is the missile.

• Eddie Martin : What the hell were we thinking, huh? Getting married.

  Carrie Wells : We were wasted.

  Eddie Martin : Yeah, you blame the alcohol, but how could you resist, huh?

  Carrie Wells : Apparently, I didn't.

• Al Burns : DeMars brothers weren't carrying methylamine. It was something else.

  Eddie Martin : But meth was all those boys knew.

  Al Burns : They may have *thought* they were carrying it.

  Carrie Wells : Delina said there were burns on the lungs of both Angus and Malcolm DeMars.

  Eddie Martin : Methylamine wouldn't do that. What would?

  Jay Lee : Well, there are four possible chemicals. Calcium hydroxide, sodium hypochlorite, coactive resinase, and dimethyl sulphate, and all of them are pretty nasty. Some of them can burn through flesh, metal. One can even burn through glass.

  Carrie Wells : [remembering the DeMars crime scene]  You know, I saw a-a glass bottle at the warehouse. It was melted. Which one of those burns through glass?

  Jay Lee : Uh... that would be coactive resinase. It's a kind of synthetic enforcer used in the production of...

  [pulling up pictures of military missiles] 

  Jay Lee : Holy crap.

• Eddie Martin : Maybe next time, I'll take a real vacation up here. Will you show me around?

  Carrie Wells : Yeah, I'll show you around.

  Eddie Martin : Yeah? Hey, thanks for your help. For everyone's. Let 'em know how grateful I am, all right? For Cody.

  Carrie Wells : For Cody.

• Carrie Wells : We did it. Way to go, partner.

  Eddie Martin : Way to go.

  Al Burns : She was talking to me.

  Eddie Martin : No, she was talking to me.

  Al Burns : She was definitely talking to me.

• Jay Lee : Okay, so, copolymer's all around us. Shower curtains, toilet seats. So these guys have no problem getting their hands on some.

  Al Burns : But they need a large amount to mix with all that coactive resinase, which is why Jay was looking for any unusually large shipments.

  Jay Lee : So, I pulled up the security footage from the four stores in the surrounding area, all reporting large sales of copolymer. Our guys are analyzing all the buyers. We're trying to match with facial recognition.

  Carrie Wells : [recognizing a face]  Wait a second. I saw that guy driving by the motel. And I saw him somewhere else, too.

  [thinking back] 

  Carrie Wells : Outside the pizza place. He's been tailing us.

  Jay Lee : Got a hit on the time and date when he left the plastic store. Here we go. His name is David Lushing. Runs a place over in Bushwick called Real Plastics. Huh. Normal order for this guy is a couple kilos a month. Last week, 40 kilos.

  Eddie Martin : How big a missile are we talking about?

  Al Burns : Big enough to give the Manhattan skyline a facelift. Let's get over to Bushwick.

• Carrie Wells : I have a gift for you.

  Eddie Martin : Really?

  Carrie Wells : Mm-hmm.

  Eddie Martin : [taking a sheet of paper]  Divorce decree. Thought these were supposed to take six months to get.

  Carrie Wells : Well, Al's got connections, you know? Once you sign this, you're gonna have a really hard time keeping all those women hell-bent on marriage off your back.

  Eddie Martin : Oh, I'll figure out something. I'm elusive.

  [signing it] 

  Eddie Martin : Okay. I now pronounce us man and ex-wife. Guess that doesn't come with a "you may now kiss the ex-bride"?

  Carrie Wells : Sure it does.

• Eddie Martin : You know, yesterday I said I wasn't sad when you left.

  Carrie Wells : What you said was it was the best day of your life.

  Eddie Martin : Well, maybe I was a little bit bummed.

  Carrie Wells : Well, we always did run hot and cold, you and me. We were either fighting or...

  Eddie Martin : We got so loud that one time, the neighbors called the cops.

  Carrie Wells : Our fights got pretty loud, too.

• Eddie Martin : Well, your solve rate remains at 100%, thanks to me.

  Carrie Wells : You always did like taking credit for my hard work.

  Eddie Martin : What? I have never...

  Carrie Wells : July 11, 2004. We were both putting our clothes back on and you said "you're welcome", when we both know I did most of the work.

  Eddie Martin : [laughing]  Wow. That's pretty cocky.

  Carrie Wells : Yeah.

  Eddie Martin : Doesn't sound like me, though

• Jay Lee : Apparently, the Army's been all over this stuff. Early tests show it can create plastic strong enough to form the casings for missiles.

  Carrie Wells : And a plastic missile would be undetecable by radar.

  Jay Lee : And apparently, a bunch of resinase went missing a couple weeks ago from this plant in Silver Springs, Florida, which is...

  Eddie Martin : Twenty miles outside of Daytona.

  Al Burns : So whoever hired the DeMars brothers used them as mules because they knew how to navigate the back roads and avoid cops. Must have told them they were carrying methylamine, sent 'em to New York.

  Eddie Martin : And when they got here, they killed them.

  Jay Lee : Hey, guys, check this. It's an Army video of a plastic missile produced with coactive resinase. The other two, encased with metal. They get shot down by antiaircraft. Plastic missile goes on to hit its target.

  Al Burns : Whoever killed the DeMars brothers is trying to make a missile and is still in New York.

  Carrie Wells : And all we've gotta do is find them in a city of nine million people.

• Eliot Delson : You three have some explaining to do. I specifically said this was not a Major Crimes case.

  Carrie Wells : Well, you know I have a problem with authority.

  Eddie Martin : And commitment, too, by the way.

  Al Burns : Yeah, right?

  Carrie Wells : I do not have a problem with commitment. I just haven't met the right guy.

  Eliot Delson : Whoa. Okay, stop. Just stop talking. The point is, this is now a Major Crimes case. Don't screw it up.

• Al Burns : Guys inside don't remember seeing the dealers.

  Carrie Wells : But I did bring you a slice.

  Eddie Martin : Thank you.

  Carrie Wells : Oh, you're welcome.

  Eddie Martin : I thought the pizza was no good.

  Carrie Wells : Oh, it's terrible. But I figured since you're in New York, you may as well try a piece of Brooklyn's worst.

  Eddie Martin : Did you bring me a napkin?

  Carrie Wells : No, but you could always use my shirt like you did back in Daytona.

  Eddie Martin : One time. It was one time.

  Carrie Wells : One time? Well, actually, three.

• Al Burns : We were following a lead. We don't need to call Narcotics.

  Lt. Greg Sartain : Oh, yeah, I know, you Major Crimes, you got your own rulebook.

  Eddie Martin : This is my case. I followed these guys for days.

  Lt. Greg Sartain : Listen up, Detective, you gonna work a narcotics case in Brooklyn South, I expect to be looped in.

  [talking over each other] 

  Lt. Greg Sartain : That's Lieutenant Sartain, and you're out of line. Memory freak show.

  Carrie Wells : What'd you call me?

• Carrie Wells : Listen, I know that I broke your heart leaving the way I did...

  Eddie Martin : What?

  Carrie Wells : ...and just walking out...

  Eddie Martin : Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I know you think you're God's gift to every man on the planet, but, and nothing personal here, the day you left was the greatest day of my life.

  Carrie Wells : [a little hurt]  Oh.

  Eddie Martin : Two alphas in one relationship? Wasn't gonna work.

  Carrie Wells : Wasn't gonna work, huh?

  Eddie Martin : Mm-mm.

  Carrie Wells : But you're still wearing the necklace. Never took it off, huh? Hmm. I think you're still in love with me. You never filed for divorce, did you?

  Eddie Martin : What? You wish. You know, but staying married to you was a great way to keep all those... all those women hell-bent on marriage off my back.

• Al Burns : So, you two staying married?

  Carrie Wells : You know, I hadn't really thought about it.

  Eddie Martin : Yeah, me neither. It's been, what, ten years?

  Carrie Wells : 11 years, five months, three weeks, two days.

  Al Burns : Now that Eddie's here, I figured you might want to disentangle.

  Carrie Wells : Oh.

  Al Burns : Called a buddy in Florida, had him pull a couple of strings. You can have your marriage disentangled from right here in New York.

  Eddie Martin : When did you do all this homework?

  Al Burns : Just trying to help a friend.

  Eddie Martin : Yeah, a friend?

  Al Burns : Yeah.

• Jay Lee : All right, so these are guys who would all have an interest in outsiders bringing meth into New York.

  Al Burns : Paulie Fitzgerald? I put that guy away a couple years back.

  Jay Lee : Prison overcrowding. He's out, Al.

  Al Burns : I don't see him as an execution-style killer.

  Eddie Martin : Yeah, so who's our prom king over there?

  Denny Padilla : [Jay pulls up a rap sheet]  Oh, yeah, that's Vlad Nostrov. Hey, I've had the pleasure. Jay-bone.

  Jay Lee : Uh, it's... it's just Jay, man.

• Al Burns : Ex-cons with that much methylamine, why didn't you arrest them?

  Eddie Martin : I needed to connect them with the buyers to get 'em off the streets for good. They left Daytona on Thursday, so I followed them.

  Al Burns : Until you get to the part where you lost them.

  Jay Lee : You got a profile where they might be staying?

  Eddie Martin : Yeah, based on the motels they favored on the way up, they like places that offer ground-floor units, have minimal surveillance, and don't ask a lot of questions.

  Jay Lee : Anything else you can give us?

  Eddie Martin : Yeah, they like quick access to their vehicle. They always stayed near the highways. Occasionally, they'd call in for female company, and, uh... and Angus... Angus loves Highway Hoagie. So they always stayed near one of them.

  Carrie Wells : [remembering an article in the Post]  Hookers and hoagies. Al, that article that I was reading to you today.

  Al Burns : Haven't we moved on from your moment of glory?

  Carrie Wells : No, no Listen, not that one. The one about the councilman and the hookers. There was a picture of him coming out of a Metro Motor Lodge. In the background was a Highway Hoagie. Jay, look it up for me. Check for Metro Motor Lodges nearby and Highway Hoagies that are close to 'em.

  Eddie Martin : Wow. It's kind of amazing seeing your memory at work.

  Carrie Wells : Amazing enough that you're glad you married me?

  Eddie Martin : Nothing's that amazing.

• Al Burns : You're married?

  Carrie Wells : Yes. Sort it. It... yes. It's-it's... it's kind of a long story.

  Eddie Martin : Yeah, it is, and it's complicated. She's a nightmare.

  Al Burns : Told ya.

  Carrie Wells : [insulted]  What?

• Eddie Martin : Angus and Malcolm DeMars. They're brothers. Seriously bad guys. A handful of unsolved murders linked to them. Mom left. Rumor was they killed their father in a drug dispute. Rumor was the dispute was with Angus and Malcolm.

  Al Burns : They killed their father over a meth deal?

  Eddie Martin : Yeah, with a crowbar.

  Jay Lee : [sarcastic]  Nice family.

• Eddie Martin : [finding his suspects dead]  Meet the DeMars brothers.

  Al Burns : Looks like someone got to 'em before you did.

  Carrie Wells : Now what?

• Eddie Martin : Look, I need your help.

  Carrie Wells : You've driven halfway across the country, following these guys all by yourself. You suddenly need me. Why?

  Eddie Martin : Well, I knew you were a cop. And judging by how insane you were, probably a pretty good one.

  Carrie Wells : This is personal to you.

  Eddie Martin : Yeah.

  Carrie Wells : Why?

  Eddie Martin : Remember Cody?

  Carrie Wells : Of course.

  [flashback sequence] 

  Eddie Martin : He kept coming around you left. Kind of grew up an unofficial deputy. He joined the Academy. I was on the DeMars case. I think he was trying to help. Because when they... when they found Cody's body, it was near where one of the DeMars' mobile labs had been. I led him right to them.

  Carrie Wells : I'm sorry. All right. I'll do it. For Cody.

• Carrie Wells : What are you doing here, Eddie?

  Eddie Martin : I've been tracking a couple of guys out of Daytona. Got a string of dead bodies to their names.

  Al Burns : And that's our problem why?

  Eddie Martin : Four days ago, they got into a van full of methylamine and headed north. I followed them to see if I could find their buyers. But I lost them coming out of the Holland Tunnel.

  Eliot Delson : Your C.O. signed off on this?

  Eddie Martin : I took some vacation days. It's kind of... kind of a personal mission for me.

  Al Burns : Yeah, I can see that.

• Eliot Delson : While I commend you taking vacation days and using them for work - Carrie, Al, you could learn a thing or two from him - Major Crimes does not condone vigilante missions. I'll leave you two alone for a moment.

  Carrie Wells : Thanks, Eliot.

  Eddie Martin : I think he meant for the two of us to have a moment.

  Al Burns : Oh, I don't care what he meant.
