CSI: NY2004

[Danny has been cleared of an officer-involved shooting, and his rookies' careers are over]

Detective Danny Messer:
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. I gotta work with people I can trust.

[dissolve to the lab two weeks later]

Detective Danny Messer:
Just finished with Chief Sinclair.

Lindsay Monroe Messer:
And?

Detective Danny Messer:
That's it. It's done. No more Sergeant Messer. Just a... plain old detective.

Lindsay Monroe Messer:
Does that mean I don't have to salute you in the morning anymore?

Detective Danny Messer:
I still need you to do that.

[Lindsay laughs]

Lindsay Monroe Messer:
You feel all right?

Detective Danny Messer:
I mean, it wasn't easy giving up the stripes, you know.

Lindsay Monroe Messer:
It's the right move, Danny.

[Danny glances at Mac walking by in the hallway]

Detective Danny Messer:
This is where I belong.
