Wilmer Valderrama: Nick Torres

Quotes 

• Nick Torres : And I actually think I might be able to explain it. Kasie ran her blood, and her thyroxine levels are through the roof.

  Donald Mallard : Thyroxine?

  Nick Torres : It's a hormone produced by your thyroid gland. Also known as T-4. Too much can lead to headaches and memory loss.

  Donald Mallard : Violent outbursts?

  Nick Torres : At the extreme levels that we found? Yes.

  Donald Mallard : Are you telling me that Lieutenant Donohue stabbed her husband because her thyroid is out of whack?

  Nick Torres : Well, not quite. We also found a T stimulant in her blood, and it's not natural. It's synthetic, like a, like a pill or an injection.

  Donald Mallard : What, is she taking something?

  Nick Torres : Well, she says no. And if that's the case...

  Donald Mallard : Someone's drugging her?

  Nick Torres : And I think I know how. She was having trouble breathing when she came down, so I took a look at her lungs. They're clear, but the X-ray showed me this. At first, I thought it was a birth control implant, but the lieutenant said she didn't have one. In fact, she's never had an implant of any kind.

  Donald Mallard : So how the hell did it get there?

  Nick Torres : No clue. But by the way her T spiked and then went back to normal so quickly, I suspect this implant is the cause. Now, I suggest getting it out of her immediately, before something else happens.

• Timothy McGee : Well, competitors have been stealing each other's tech for centuries. Lightbulb, telephone...

  Nick Torres : Monopoly.

  Timothy McGee : The board game?

  Nick Torres : Yeah, it used to be called The Landlord's Game. It was made to teach people how terrible capitalism was.

  Jessica Knight : Well, that backfired, because every capitalist loves that game.

  Alden Parker : Not me. Last time I won at Monopoly, I was nine. Been chasing that high ever since.
