Don Flack quotes from CSI: NY

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

Danny

We're talking about a quadruple homicide that apparently you committed last night.

That I committed?

Danny

Yeah. That's what it sounds like.

The hotel manager said that the girls did not check in with them.

Hawkes

So the guys either met them at some point that night and they all went back to the hotel to continue the party.

Danny

Right, or they were the party. Hired to, erm, blow out the birthday boy's candle

Clowns?! That's what you're going with... clowns? That's your official story?

They were trying to kill me.

Oh, so they're the "homicidal on the inside" kind of clowns. Well, hang on a second while I put out an APB for two guys with frizzy pink hair and big red noses!

Stella Bonasera

We've got an impact mark. [Checks with the scanner] Hey Mac. Take a look at this.

Mac Taylor

That's pure gold.

Danny Messer

I can top that. Just found this, in his shoe print.

Stella Bonasera

Four leaf clover?

Mac Taylor

Natural genetic mutation. There's only one for every ten thousand three leaf clover.

Hang on a second. Gold, four leaf clover, right before St. Patricks Day? Where the hell are we, at the end of the rainbow? [Stella chuckles]

Mac Taylor

I'll tell you this much, neither one of these guys had the luck of the irish.

We got Vandemann locked up tight in protective custody.

Mac Taylor

He tell you anything more to his story?

Not yet, but once he has a hot meal, and realizes we're not out to kill him, he'll come around.

Stella Bonasera

You think I'm trying too hard?

We all have a Marina Garito, Stella.

John Brennan calls the station house once a month. And anyone who answers the phone gets a story about how his wife was murdered, and the man responsible is still out there. And it breaks your heart. Because you don't have any answers for him. But what can you do? Tell me, on those Mondays, when you hung up the phone, what did you do? [Stella shakes her head a little] You can't do much. Because you are chasing bad guys, who are out there right now, and the evidence on those old cases gets cold, and the witnesses don't remember half of what they used to, and-

Stella Bonasera

You're right. But I just can't stop thinking that I should've done more to help her find her brother.

You took her calls every Monday. That's a lot.

Mac

Sam was there. Maybe he can point us in the right direction.

I don't think he's ready, Mac. You should've seen him in that room. That line-up took a lot out of him. He was looking directly at Cook, but he wouldn't identify him.

Mac

Then we'll have to find another way.

I think I can do it. I think I can show you guys what happened.

Hawkes

Castro was due to strike First Federation.

Stella

We believe that he was casing the branch, he saw Nicky and Sam robbing the bank, so he followed them into the alley and robbed them.

Hawkes

The gun I found on top of the trash can belonged to those boys, Flack.

But you have zero forensic evidence to prove that. And please, one of you tell me where those kids got a gun.

Stella

You got to let go of your feelings for this kid, Flack. Sam Harris was lying to you.

Sam Harris does not have it in his DNA to lie like that.

Stella

Unless he had a very good reason.

Yeah, that's him. He stole it three days ago.

That's why you created his face for the composite sketch, as opposed to the guy who really shot your brother, Troy Castro?

I was scared that if I described the man who shot Nicky, you guys would find out we robbed the bank.

Can you imagine the burden that little guy was carrying around? 12 years old. He's protecting his older brother and his mother.

Stella

Still can't wrap my head around the fact that they thought robbing a bank was their only option.

Luckily the D.A. and the bank president agreed not to press charges. And money's been pouring in from the public. Should be enough to keep a roof over their head for at least a little while.

I'm sure this isn't the only cap with Derek Jeter's number on it floating around the city. Doesn't prove anything.

Stella

Well, it proves that Nicky was in the bank with a gun and a note.

Come on, Stella. Troy Castro robbed that bank and the only reason he hasn't confessed to it is 'cause he's dead.

My gut as a cop? Sam wants to help us, but he's too young and too messed up to remember what happened.

Danny

My gut as a CSI is that the wound was a through and through, so where's the blood spatter? Where are the impact marks? Where's the bullet?

You can run your little game on me all day long. All you got is what? Possession of stolen property and some kid who needs to wash his hands a little better.

Mac

You just better hope that little boy doesn't die.

Stella

Cocky bastard.

Well, he's been in that chair before. He knows the drill.

Who the hell are you?

[stoned] Me?

Oh, no, I'm sorry. The guy behind you there. [Colby looks behind him] Yeah, you.
