CSI: NY · Season 8
Mac, what would you say if I told you I could quadruple your money?
You trying to talk me back into retirement?
I'd say, it sounds too good be true, not to mention illegal.
Oh, it's definitely illegal. You got five bucks on you?
Five bucks? (Retrieving his wallet) This better be good.
The apartment search turn up anything?
Yep... auto greaser, ink jet printer, scanner, glass cleaner, hair dryer... everything you need for printing counterfeit money.
Well, the problem is, everything you just listed is also a regular household item, easily explained away.
Everything but the scanned image of the $20 bill.
Let you in on a little secret?
Hmm.
I used to do this when I was younger.
Really?
Yeah.
You, Dr. Sheldon Hawkes?
Oh, it just feels like a lifetime ago, but, oh, yeah.
(About a perp who is spending counterfeit money) What's he buying?
You name it... cigars, booze, jewelry, clothing... a lot of Adidas track suits.
(Scoffs) Who is he, Run DMC?
Look, honey, I can't get out of here. Can lunch wait, like, an hour?
Scheduled break, babe. You know that. It's now or never, sweetheart.
Are you mad?
Yeah... I am mad, but not at you. At, uh… Run DMC over here.
Felony lunch-jacking. I'll make sure they add it to his list of charges.
(After a customer has just tried a guitar) If I hear 'Sweet Home Alabama' one more time, I swear, I'm gonna sell this place.
You have a problem with Alabama?
She's from the South.
Is this the gun you used for the murder? You know what I'd call this? Proof.
I didn't pull the trigger. It was an accident.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? You may want to invest in some nail polish remover before you get where you're going.
I would like you to meet Alex, my new roommate...
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
(To Tyler) You didn't tell me she was a very attractive girl (To Alex) He didn't say you were unattractive... he just didn't say you were a girl.
(About his new roommate) You found her picture on the Internet, didn't you?
No.
Or one of your police databases.
It's not like I intentionally went and looked her up. I just happened to stumble across some stuff...
I always tell my kids that the only reason evil exists is so that good can triumph over it.
If it didn't, we'd be out of a job.
Whenever you take a life, no matter how justified, it messes with you.
No more Sergeant Messer. Just a... plain old detective.
Does that mean I don't have to salute you in the morning anymore?
I still need you to do that.
You feel all right?
I mean, it wasn't easy giving up the stripes, you know.
It's the right move, Danny.
This is where I belong.
Wow. I can, uh... return to normal duty.
You're not relieved.
Of... I mean, of course I am. I am. But I can't stop thinking, Mac, how I treated these cops like they were my family, and they didn't think twice about throwing me to the wolves. I've been doing this job way too long (Sighs) I got to work with people I can trust.
Can't believe this, Mac. You know, I figured I could be a good boss, to guide these cops, help them avoid the mistakes I made.
The last time you dealt with Internal Affairs, I called you into my office. You remember?
(Sighs) Yeah, I remember. They decided not to investigate me on the shooting in the subway, thanks to you. You brought me into your office, you ripped me a new one for my recklessness... which I deserved.
You're not the same cop as then. You've grown. You're an excellent boss, Danny. If you were my sergeant, I'd follow you anywhere, and that's what I intend to tell Adler when he walks in here.
