Danny, check your schedule. You'll receive a 'must appear' for Wednesday.
I can cover your cases for you if you have any deadlines.
Ah, thanks, Doc (To Lindsay) You weren't even gonna offer, were you?
Solve your own damn cases.
I can't wait to get married.
Okay, what's going on, Mac? I know you better than you think. Something's up. What suddenly compelled you to investigate a robbery at a bodega on Austin and 123rd?
I'm the head of the Crime Lab, Jo. I think that more or less entitles me to re-evaluate any case I want, whenever I want.
Fine. I have no problem with that. But I'm your colleague and friend and I think that more or less entitles me to ask why.
You know, you're going old school with that string. You'd be amazed at what computers can do nowadays.
It's an old case. Old habits.
What's up?
You just killed two people: owner and an employee behind the counter.
That sounds like me.
This case has been sitting on the edge of my desk for the last nine years.
You got a new lead?
No.
Is the chif asking about it?
Nope.
Then, whats up? Why you looking into it now?
No reason.
Know what I'm thinking? I want you to go into the bathroom, take these two bricks of cocaine and I want you to strap them to your body. All right? Then I'm going to meet you downstairs, okay? I'm gonna get it home, I'm gonna cut it and I'm gonna package it. And I'm going to become... (Imitating Al Pacino) ...Danny Montana. I'm a political prisoner from Staten Island.
So you have no problem using me as a drug mule?
No. If you want to be involved, you're going to have to take on some of the risk.
Well, it sounds like I'm taking on all of the risk. The only thing you risk is being mocked for doing a bad Pacino impression.
So you're not a fan of being the wife of a very powerful and, and, and very handsome, of I do say so myself, drug lord. I anticipated that, because I know a little bit about you so I have a plan B for making some extra dough.
Well, does it involve you dressing in drag and turning tricks? Because that I'm totally okay with.
How does Sergeant Danny Messer sound?
Are you serious? You're thinking about taking the sergeant's exam?
Maybe.
I think that's a great idea.
Good. 'Cause I took it a few months ago and I'm waiting for the results in a few days.
What? Why didn't you tell me?
I mean, I haven't told anyone. I mean, I don't know if I want it. I mean, it's more money. It puts me on the path to possibly running this lab one day but it takes me away from here. It would take me away from the team. It would take me away from you.
Well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I love that you're thinking about our future like this.
We processed this thing when the crime occurred and we never got a second donor. Why would it be different now?
Well, I used a different genetic analyzer. Every instrument varies in sensitivity. If I ran it through a third one might not pick it up but this one did. Machines. Sometimes there's no rational explanation for why they do what they do.
Relax, Kenny. She's just a kid.
No, she's not a kid. She's a witness, man.
I suppose you read the reports... the... the ones that the police made that night. I was a different person back then.
Ms. Dalton, I'm not here to judge you. Based on what I've read here, you're a mother who's never given up hope, and I admire that.
How did Olivia end up in that bodega alone?
I was more interested in getting loaded than taking care of my baby girl.
The bodega was just around the corner. She [Olivia] went to get you some aspirin.
And when I woke up a couple hours later, she was gone. I went through the entire building, knocked on every door, went through the streets screaming her name. I haven't had a drink since that night. That's what it took to open my eyes. But it was too late.
It's never too late.
You've been looking for these men for nine years. What makes you think you're going to find them now?
Olivia.
You're a very pretty woman. You seem like you have a good head on your shoulders. What happened?
You can go now.
If I had to guess, I bet you had a father who told you you would never amount to anything. And after you heard that about a hundred times you started to believe it.
Get out.
So you started dating guys who would smack you around.
Get the hell out.
