Summary

 * “Get Gellar”

Lt. Debra Morgan was pressured by Captain Maria LaGuerta to close the case of Jessica Morris, a dead call girl. Deb later finds Jessica’s father waiting in her office.

"Deb: “Mr. Morris.” Mr. Morris: “Yes. I'm Jessica Morris' father. Thank you for seeing me.” Deb: “I am sorry for your loss. How can I help you?” Mr. Morris: “I'd like you to reopen Jessica's case.” Deb: “Mr. Morris, I know this must be very difficult, but the medical examiner ruled that your daughter's death was an accidental overdose, not a homicide.” Mr. Morris: “Yes, I know. But her sternum was cracked. And paramedics said they never performed CPR because she was already dead when they arrived.” Deb: (defensively) 'How do you know that?” Mr. Morris: “Does it matter? If someone was with her when she died, why aren't you looking into that?” Deb: “I'm sorry, but the case is closed.” Mr. Morris: “Well, then reopen it. What if that person killed her and then tried to cover it up?” Deb: “I am sorry, but my hands are tied.” Mr. Morris: “Please, just listen. I don't know if you have kids, but I hope you never have to see 'em turning tricks on Collins Avenue.” Deb: (softening) “I will run it upstairs. I'll see what I can do.” Mr. Morris: (very grateful) “Thank you. Thank you.”"
