John Reardon: Charlie Hudson

Quotes 

• Sup. Joseph Donovan : It's not every day we find an ancient mummy.

  Charlie Hudson : Where's the body now?

  Sarah Truong : The forensic anthropologist who supervised removal of the body is sending it here to my lab.

  Jesse Mills : Shouldn't it be going to a museum instead?

• Sarah Truong : Yeah, thanks to our harsh climate. Tundra-like conditions are ideal for the mummification process.

  Sup. Joseph Donovan : Yeah, anywhere else and we'd be looking at a pile of old bones.

  [Rex barks] 

  Charlie Hudson : Joe, you just said the B word.

  [Rex yelps] 

  Charlie Hudson : No, sorry buddy. I don't have a bone for you.

  [Rex barks] 

• Charlie Hudson : So if you didn't find anything modern on the body, then why do you think it's present day?

  Sarah Truong : Because, there you go, I removed this from an entry wound in our mystery man's back. It was lodged above the kidney.

  Charlie Hudson : A very modern rifle slug.

  Sarah Truong : Yeah. Which makes this a very modern murder.

• Charlie Hudson : Never would have found that missing photo journalist, without you.

  Kendra O'Dore : Right, well if you keep this up, you're going to have to add me to the payroll, Charlie.

• Kendra O'Dore : And a lot of them are unprepared, for how dangerous the environment can really be. I mean, I've seen people succumb to elements, wildlife, starvation. There's lots of ways to die out here.

  Charlie Hudson : Well for our victim, we can add a shot in the back to the list.

• Jesse Mills : But then he claims, he came across a small community of survivalists, who've been living off the grid, for almost two decades. The article also describes a second generation among the community, children who were born there who don't know any other life.

  Charlie Hudson : This could actually help explain why we're having such a hard time identifying our victim. There'd be no official birth record, no social insurance number, nothing.

  Jesse Mills : Yeah, it's like he never existed.

  Charlie Hudson : No no. He existed. He has a name. Has a family somewhere. He had a life before it was taken from him. And we're going to find out who took it.

• Edgar Vance : I'll take my chances, but, could you ask your dog to back away from my things?

  Charlie Hudson : I would. But Rex has a mind of his own.

• Charlie Hudson : Well there are a bunch of service roads that run through that area. I could probably get pretty close. It's not exactly a Jack London story.

• Charlie Hudson : You know any good jokes? Huh? Alright, I got one. Why are dogs terrible dancers?

  [Rex barks] 

  Charlie Hudson : They've got two left feet.

  [Rex groans] 

• Charlie Hudson : Well I appreciate the save.

  Casey : Hey. All I did was fix you up. It was your dog that saved you.

  Charlie Hudson : That's an ongoing theme of my life.

• Mateo Baron : Nobody here cares about the man I was. They only see the man I am now.

  Charlie Hudson : What kind of a man is that?

• Charlie Hudson : But then I started to think about that rifle, and how the bolt was on the left side. You know, you're one of the only left-handed people in camp?

• Charlie Hudson : Kent Coolidge.

  Casey : I don't know who you're talking about.

  Charlie Hudson : Your initials are K.C. Doesn't take a genius, Casey.

• Mateo Baron : Am I going back to jail?

  Charlie Hudson : That's not up to me. But my boss said there isn't a lot of pressure to pursue your case.
