Jo Danville quotes from CSI: NY

Sheldon Hawkes

There are no bank accounts under the name Michael Reynolds. No credit cards, either.

Jo Danville

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.

Sheldon Hawkes

Consistent with the method of killing.

Jo Danville

Michael Francis?

Lindsay Monroe

Another dead end.

Jo Danville

Francis... Francis, Francis. Stockholm Syndrome. In a lot of abduction cases, the victim will actually start to sympathize with his captors.

Lindsay Monroe

Right, especially when they're held a long time.

Jo Danville

And Arthur Francis was Michael's abductor. Michael Reynolds is Michael Francis. He took his kidnapper's last name.

Mac Taylor

Michael had a brother... Tom Reynolds.

Lindsay Monroe

Mitochondrial DNA from the hair was a match to Michael.

Mac Taylor

Mito's shared by all maternal relatives, including brothers, so it would also be a match to Tom.

Lindsay Monroe

So he's our shooter. Why?

Jo Danville

Off to one side, unnoticed. Everyone else around him is celebrating Michael's return. Tom is just standing there.

Mac Taylor

Emotionless, neglected.

Lindsay Monroe

So you're telling me he starts shooting people 'cause he didn't get enough hugs and kisses from mommy and daddy?

Lindsay Monroe

He murdered his brother, then he goes on a shooting rampage. Getting to that point cannot be that simple.

Jo Danville

No, it's not. It's usually a preexisting condition, a genetic anomaly of some sort that renders them susceptible.

Mac Taylor

Nature combined with nurture.

Jo Danville

I've seen this type of behavior before. They start off by killing a loved one.

Lindsay Monroe

The one that they think is responsible for their neglect?

Jo Danville

Yeah. And then things spiral out of control from there.

Jo Danville

No other prints to suggest she was being followed.

No... If this was a chase or a blitz attack there'd be signs of a struggle somewhere.

Jo Danville

I don't see it.

Nope. So what, or who was she running from?

Sheldon Hawkes

Ghosts.

Jo Danville

[amused] Dr. Sheldon Hawkes, did I just hear you say ghosts?

You did. Wanna know why? 'Cause that's what he said: Ghosts.

Sheldon Hawkes

A lot of New Yorkers believe this part of the park is haunted. The lake just over there, for years rumor has it, two women have been seen skating figure eights, at night. Rosetta and Janice, sisters, died in the 1800s. Apparently they just glide above the ice, if you get too close they disappear.

[amusedly scared] Shut up.

Sheldon Hawkes

Yeah. Then there was that real estate guy that got gutted by the river just east of here. Oh, and Belvedere Castle, tons of people have heard disembodied voices, and dispatch gets calls all the time.

Teenagers. Doing the nasty.

Sheldon Hawkes

go ahead, poke fun, but this area where we are, right now, some of the volunteers from the emergency medical unit won't even ride in here, they send me. I gotta be honest, there have been times when I felt something.

Jo Danville

a prescence?

Sheldon Hawkes

I dont know.

Doc, come on. You can't tell me, that in your well educated mind, you don't have an explanation for paranormal activity.

Sheldon Hawkes

ok, one night, I heard a woman screaming. I get off my bike, I run towards the sound, the screaming is getting louder and louder, but when I get to where she should've been: nothing. Nobody.

Jo Danville

What do think it was?

Sheldon Hawkes

I don't know. I don't have a rational explanation for what happened that night. Now, it could have been my mind playing tricks on me, or maybe it was the sound bouncing of the trees; but I felt something weird here, and judging by the looks of these shoeprints, maybe our Jane Doe felt something too.

Flack.

Jo Danville

[in a cript creepers voice] We gotta go visit the dead.

Work related I hope.

Jo Danville

This place is so creepy. But I guess, funeral home, what else would it be.

How the hell does a funeral home go out of business?

Lindsay Monroe

The owners died four years ago, the left the family business to the only son, Gordon, he closed up shop apparently, but I understand he still lives here.

Sheldon Hawkes

no prints in the dust, no movement in the air.

Jo Danville

Definately doesn't look lived in.

Lindsay Monroe

or died in.

This doesn't make any sense. This kid closed down te funeral home, but stayed in the embalming business.

Jo Danville

He kept it open for personal use. [reviews crime scene] No signs of struggle. So Isabel was probably unconscious when he laid her out here. So what did he do from there.

Lindsay Monroe

[opens door to closet] He dressed her. [takes out a dress] Vintage. Looks like it's from the fifties.

Hey, if we come across a little old lady skeleton in a wig and rocking chair down here, it's every man for himself.

Jo Danville

Hey.

Danny Messer

Jo, do you wear sneakers inside clown shoes?

Jo Danville

I don't know, I don't own any.

Danny Messer

Clown shoes?

Jo Danville

Sneakers.

Mac Taylor

Danny, get out of here.

Hey, Mac seems like a nice guy.

Jo Danville

He is.

Any reason I should be jealous?

Jo Danville

[rolls eyes]

Mac Taylor

What happened here Don?

This was a truck party gone bad. It's the latest craze in afterhours entertainment. They convert tractor trailers into exclusive nightclubs. Times and locations are spread among the social networks.

Mac Taylor

I'm assming this one didn't start at the bottom of the Hudson?

Jo Danville

I thought the truck was not supposed to move once the party started.

It's not.

Mac Taylor

So who moved it?

Couple cabbies nearly got runover, but they didn't get a good look of the drivers face. They did say that he accelerated through the fence. The abscence of skid marks confirms that there was no breaking.

Mac Taylor

Driver could've drowned. Or still be among the survivors.

Jo Danville

we have divers in the water looking for more bodies and the others are being transported to the precint for questioning.

My guess; driver saw that river coming, jumped before splash down, then got the hell out of dodge.

Mac Taylor

Either way, looks like crashing this party wasn't an accident.

( Sees half naked woman in the body painting studio.)Are you free for something tonight?

Jo Danville

( Pulls Flack out from the room.) Flack, go!

Lindsay Monroe

How do you follow the law and stay a human being?

Jo Danville

That's the hard part, because the piece of me- if that was my daughter- that wanted him dead I have to put in a box.
