Mac Taylor quotes from CSI: NY

Mac

Why do you go visit him?

Adam

I'm his son. I feel obligated.

Adam

It's just not fair, you know? He doesn't remember anything... anything that he did to me. And I remember every curse, every smack, every bruise. Everything. I remember all of it.

Mac

You want an acknowledgement. Or an apology but with his fleeting memory you can't have that.

Adam

I look at him now, and he's old... and sick. And I feel nothing. And it scares me. I mean, what does that say about me as a person? You know, you're supposed... you're supposed to love your parents. So... I guess I go because I want to... I want to feel something.

Mac

It looks like you feel something now. Holding onto the anger isn't gonna help you.

Adam

It's so crazy, you know? I've learned more about him now since he's been sick than when he was normal. Turns out, he's just another case of history repeating itself, you know? He was a victim, too.

Mac

A little forgiveness... you can move on.

Adam

Maybe.

Mac

Not just for him, Adam, for you.

Mac

I'm not seeing any ballistic striae on its surface.

Jamie Lovato

So we're not talking about your average gat.

Mac

No. But whatever it was somebody clearly used it to blow the legal mind of Manny Hinde.

Mac

What kind of cases he was working?

Jamie Lovato

He was counsel to 17 plaintiffs. Six traffic accidents, eight worker comps, two slip-and-falls and a bad lip enhancement. Though I have yet to see a good one.

Adam

(Over the phone) I miss you more. I do. Well, it is possible. I'm bigger than you, okay? It means I'm physically capable of missing you in larger quantities. It's a scientific fact. It is. Yeah. Ooh. What? Wow. You like that, do you? You like that I'm a scientist? Do you? Yeah? I think it turns you on. Well, maybe I'll come over later and put on my lab coat and...

Adam

Oh! Oh. Bye. Oh, God. Uh, you guys are probably wondering why I'm on my phone.

Mac

Yeah, that thought did cross our mind.

Mac

Stay off your phone and on his. Go through Justin's contacts, calendar, text messages, call records, all of it.

Adam

Yes, sir.

Hawkes

Justin VanderHeyden printed a gun.

Jo

He what?

Hawkes

Yeah. It's called 3-D metal printing, and it works just like any ordinary printer, but instead of using ink to produce an image...

Mac

It uses powdered metals.

Hawkes

Yes. Mixed with steel epoxy resin to create multiple layers of a three-dimensional object.

Jo

Okay, I'm not sure I even want to try to wrap my brain around that.

Mac

Guns are dangerous enough in the wrong hands. Now we have to worry about people being able to print them at home.

Hawkes

Without a permit.

Mac

This is one I almost wish you hadn't figured out.

Jo

Well, you know what they say? Every act of creation is an act of destruction.

I don't get out much.

Mac

I'm sure that's true, considering all the time you've spent in lockup.

Jo

Manny Hinde slept with your wife Molly while you were in prison.

How the hell do you know that?

Mac

Once we found out who you were, your parole officer was happy to tell us who your wife is. Turns out that Molly had heard one of Hinde's radio commercials, and so, she went to him for one of those quickie divorces right after you got locked up.

Jo

But it turned out to be much more than just a quickie, didn't it?

Jo

Your plan kind of... backfired on you, didn't it?

That stupid kid. Half-assed gun. That... cheating son of a bitch messing around with my wife. If you ask me... they both had it coming.

Mac

No, Mr. Lewis. But you certainly do.

Jo

What do we do with Justin's printer?

Mac

We'll have it sent over to the Brooklyn University of Science after Lewis is convicted.

Jo

And his software?

Mac

Good or bad, you can't stop ideas. Sooner or later, I'm sure that somebody else will figure out how to print a gun. But until they do, I think we should just keep that info to ourselves.

Jo

If you had a million dollars to spend, would you ever give your money to a total stranger?

Mac

Don't tell me you're caught up in this whole Guardian Angel story. Richard Kemp is about as see-through as the hot air coming out of his mouth.

Mac

You got a bead on the real Guardian Angel?

Jo

Maybe.

Mac

Well, you gonna tell me?

Jo

Nope.
