CSI - NY Quotes

Danny: How's he doing?
Hawkes: Well, doctor says he's fine. In fact, I hear he's already back at the office. They told him to take the rest of the week off, but you know Sid.
Danny: Right, right. I mean, he's not happy unless he's looking at dead things.

Mac: I spent three years searching for him.

TV Show: CSI - NY
Mac: Michael had been missing for 72 hours when this case file came across my desk. He was on his way home from school when he was abducted.
Jo: Did you catch the guy?
Mac: Took 3 years. Arthur Francis. Twice convicted sex offender. Whole time he was missing, we didn't know whether he was alive or dead. It was the first case I ever questioned which of those two options might be worse.
Jo: I'm sure his own parents asked themselves the same thing.
Mac: At age 12, he finally managed to escape. Clawed his way through the floorboards to a crawl space.
Jo: I can't imagine that moment for a 12-year-old kid. It's heartbreaking.
Mac: I went to see him a few times after he returned home. Made sure he was doing all right. He always wanted to wear my badge. He asked me if it was pure gold the first time he put it on. His brother Tom, too. I thought for sure one of those boys would become a cop. I tried to stay in touch with the family, but then another case came along, then another case and I lost touch. Now he's the primary suspect in a murder investigation.
Jo: Mac... there's only so much this job allows us to do.

TV Show: CSI - NY
Hawkes: There are no bank accounts under the name Michael Reynolds. No credit cards, either.
Jo: In a lot of cases like Michael's, victims just want to fall off the face of the Earth, disappear, hide somewhere no one can find them.
Hawkes: Consistent with the method of killing.

TV Show: CSI - NY
Mac [to Chief Carver]: You prepared to tell the public the truth now?
Chief Ted Carver: How sure are we it's the same guy?
Mac: Sure as I was before.
Chief Ted Carver: So, I hear you've got a primary suspect. Somebody you're familiar with?
Mac: Michael Reynolds, missing person 15 years ago. I handled the case.
Chief Ted Carver: Complete whack job?
Mac: Well, he was held against his will for three years, physically and emotionally abused the whole time. It affected him, if that's what you mean.
Chief Ted Carver: Your stunt at the press conference didn't stop him from killing this guy, did it?

TV Show: CSI - NY
Chief Ted Carver [to Mac]: Exactly what do you want from me?
Mac: I want you to go to the commissioner, tell him we're going public... with the whole thing; Everything we know. This whole city should be on high alert. Otherwise, I promise you, there will be a fourth victim.

TV Show: CSI - NY
Jo: Michael Francis?
Lindsay: Another dead end.
Jo: Francis... Francis, Francis. Stockholm Syndrome. In a lot of abduction cases, the victim will actually start to sympathize with his captors.
Lindsay: Right, especially when they're held a long time.
Jo: And Arthur Francis was Michael's abductor. Michael Reynolds is Michael Francis. He took his kidnapper's last name.

Flack [about Michael]: Maybe he decided to do us all a favour and took himself out.
Danny: It's hard to tell in this place but I am seeing indications of a struggle. And if he took himself out, where's the gun?
Flack: Could be under his body.
Danny: (checks) No. No gun here.
Flack: Well, I'm no expert but I've seen enough guns in my time to know that they don't just grow legs and walk away.
Danny: No, he didn't commit suicide. Michael Reynolds was murdered. What a life. He gets kidnapped, kept for three years, escapes... only to be murdered 12 years later.

TV Show: CSI - NY
Mac: Michael had a brother... Tom Reynolds.
Lindsay: Mitochondrial DNA from the hair was a match to Michael.
Mac: Mito's shared by all maternal relatives, including brothers, so it would also be a match to Tom.
Lindsay: So he's our shooter. Why?
Jo: Off to one side, unnoticed. Everyone else around him is celebrating Michael's return. Tom is just standing there.
Mac: Emotionless, neglected.
Lindsay: So you're telling me he starts shooting people 'cause he didn't get enough hugs and kisses from mommy and daddy?

TV Show: CSI - NY
Jo [about serial killers]: Neglect, it was the most common form of abuse in their childhood.
Lindsay: He murdered his brother, then he goes on a shooting rampage. Getting to that point cannot be that simple.
Jo: No, it's not. It's usually a preexisting condition, a genetic anomaly of some sort that renders them susceptible.
Mac: Nature combined with nurture.

Tom Reynolds: You don't know anything. No one knows what that's like living in a hole! Abandoned. Ignored. No one knows what that's like!
Mac: Killing people won't change that!
Tom Reynolds: Look around you. What's going on. All of this is because of me! Because of what I'm doing!
Mac: There are other ways, Tom!
Tom Reynolds: I've tried all the other ways. Nothing changes. It's just the same! But now? Now it's different. People will know me. They'll know my name. They'll know my face.
