Ray Langston quotes from CSI: NY

Ray Langston

(as they gear up at the junk yard) Did you know that the oldest projectile fired from a weapon was recorded in the fourteenth century in Japan? It was fired from a very crude handheld cannon that you lit with a wick. Its sole purpose was for taking life. Seems that after 1,700 years of evolution we haven't come very far, have we?

Stella

What else do we know about these perps?

Targets are always young women between the ages of 19 and 25. They're highly-organized, they're well-financed. They lure these women into... prostitution, black-market surrogacy, use them as human-trafficking pawns, you name it.

Stella

And now harvesting bodies for organs.

Mac

Our informant is a cellmate of a suspect we convicted six months ago in connection with a human-trafficking ring here in New York City.

Ray Langston

A little cellmate chitchat, and a convict looking to make a deal... that's hard to trust.

Mac

True, but right now, we're standing here with nothing. And I kind of got the impression you weren't here to sightsee.

Ray Langston

It never gets easier, does it?

Mac

No. I've told parents about their dead or missing kids more times than I can count. Hell, the first time was one time too many. One day, a woman whispers thank you to me through her tears. And I realized that she just needed to know that there was somebody doing everything they could for her child. And that's what you're doing, Ray. And that's worth a phone call.
