That girl Lindsay who works with you... I thought she was on our side.
She had to tell the truth.
The truth is that Curtis raped that girl and they just let him go. Again.
“Means to an End” · Season 8, Episode 9
In this episode: Jo Danville (14), Mac Taylor (9), Lindsay Monroe (8), John Curtis (6), Frank Waters (6), Don Flack (4), Senator Matthews (4), Adam Ross (3)
I have seen John Curtis walk out of a courtroom, a free man, twice. Both times you were there.
I'm not involved in this case, Senator, as you know.
And yet, somehow it fell apart.
Dad, let's just go.
My daughter already paid her price. Nothing can change that. This is about all the other daughters that had to suffer since you let Curtis go the first time.
My daughter, erm... was attacked tonight. She came home beaten, half drugged.
You take her to the hospital?
Of course not. There can't be any press, no news conferences. My daughter has got to be protected.
You know you can't be doing that. You shouldn't even be within ten feet of that evidence.
John Curtis is posting bail as we speak. I can't sit back and watch this case fall apart.
The case isn't yours, Jo. It's Lindsay's. She'll be the one to go back over the evidence and you should get some distance.
You know John Curtis is not just another bad guy to me. I can't pretend this is business as usual.
Yeah, I get that, it's personal. All the more reason why you should step away.
(To Jo) Whatever you find, find it fast. The only thing keeping this case alive is Ali's statement.
ARAli Rand
You said I was gonna be safe. But that maniac is back out there. Who do you think he's pissed at right now, the crime lab?
Look, Ali, you just need to take a breath here.
ARAli Rand
They're calling me a liar in the newspaper, a whore.
I told you not to read the papers.
ARAli Rand
I'm not doing this anymore... I'm dropping the charges.
Let's be clear about something. There is no dropping these charges, okay? You can't unring this bell.
ARAli Rand
You cannot force me to testify.
No. But the D.A. can, and he will. You're in this, Ali.
I'm sorry. It's just I'm so embarrassed.
There's no reason to be.
If I hadn't been drinking when this whole...
Serena, listen to me. This is not your fault.
Ali didn't just lie about the GHB, she lied about when she was beaten, too.
Mac, she's lying about everything.
I'm truly sorry for what happened to you, Frank.
By what happened to me you mean when you fired me from the FBI?
Okay, is that why you asked me to breakfast? Because if you think I regret the decision I made, you're mistaken.
I'm not gonna sit here and let you blame me for what you did.
I don't, Jo. Look, it took me a long time to figure it out but I messed up and I own it.
If that's really the way you feel, I'm glad for you.
Yeah, but what I do blame you for is not letting it go.
Why didn't you just ignore my mistake?
I had a responsibility, Frank. To Serena, to the other victims.
If you'd just put your personal ethics to the side one time, none of this would be happening now.
Who called it in?
Couple from Iowa, in town to see Spider-Man on Broadway, after a walk in the park. Odds were pretty good they were going to see a dead body either way.
(About Ali Rand) She was putting on a pretty good show herself.
(Arriving at a crime scene in Central Park) Wow. This looks like a postcard... I mean, except for the dead body, of course.
