CSI: NY2004

Dr. Sheldon Hawkes:
[about the murder of a serial rapist] We're wasting a whole lot of man hours hunting a killer that should get a medal for doing the community a service.

Lindsay Monroe Messer:
There's a body on a slab in Autopsy, Hawkes.

Dr. Sheldon Hawkes:
Yeah, and he beat and raped at least ten women. I'm surprised to hear you defending him.

Lindsay Monroe Messer:
Why? Because I'm a woman, I should cheer his death? I'm a cop first. As much as I despise what he did, I don't advocate vigilante justice. Come on, Hawkes. You're a doctor. What would you do if Clarke came into your ER?

Dr. Sheldon Hawkes:
He didn't. He's dead.

Lindsay Monroe Messer:
That's a convenient answer.

Dr. Sheldon Hawkes:
*My* girlfriend was raped, Lindsay, and after that, our relationship changed. Hell, it ended. And I won't lie to you: the thought of killing the guy that did that to her... definitely crossed my mind. I mean, come on. You know this girl Kate. You don't feel for her?

Lindsay Monroe Messer:
Of course I feel for her. But I don't know her, Hawkes. I had a conversation with her one time a year ago, and she asked me for a gun. I'm not her counselor, I'm not her priest. If she's guilty of murder, I'm going to put her away.
