At BPD-Morgue
Maura: This was embedded in the parietal lobe of Diane Campbell's brain.
Nina: A piece of a toothpick?
Korsak: Big splinter.
Maura: I am prepared to say it is a sliver of wood.
Nina: Yeah, Korsak, how could you possibly think that a sliver was a splinter?
Maura: See this? This stain is actually from two blood types AB-positive, which matches victim number one, Victoria Green, and 0-negative, which is a match with victim number two, Diane Campbell.
Korsak: So the splinter -
Nina: Precise terminology.
Korsak: Is the sliver from the murder weapon?
Nina: Oh, doesn't that look like her "I've got a secret" face.
Maura: I found a third blood type.
Nina: You want us to believe there are three types of blood on that sliver?
Maura: Well, it is a big sliver. And one other thing. The third blood sample is 20 years old.
Nina: Have you been drinking?
Maura: Yes. Water. Two liters a day, as recommended by the Mayo clinic.
Nina: You couldn't possibly tell how old that speck of blood is.
Maura: Yes, I can. It's simple. A laser excites the tryptophan until it fluoresces.
Nina: Tick-tock.
Maura: Well, you asked.
Korsak: Nina, that sliver could be a piece of the murder weapon.
Nina: That our killer used on someone else 20 years ago. You got enough for a DNA profile?
Susie walks in.
Susie: I have the results from the trace section.
Maura: Oh, thank you. The sliver is white ash.
Nina: So we could be looking for a club made of white ash?
Korsak: Our old nightsticks were white ash.
Nina: You think we're looking for a cop?
