Law & Order, Season 22

Lily:
There has to be some way to punish these people so we feel safe.

Cosgrove:
I wish there was, sweetie, I wish there was. But there isn't. It's impossible. There's no magic wand I can wave or speech I can give. So we do the things we can do, like rescuing the victims and helping them feel safe and whole. It's not always easy or possible, but we try, and we do our best to arrest the criminals and predators so they can't hurt anyone else. But there's still a lot of good in this world, so we need to focus on that. All those simple, priceless moments we seem to overlook. Like right now, you and me having lunch. Or watching the sunset or the view of Manhattan at midnight from the 59th Street Bridge. The world isn't perfect, Lily, but it's still beautiful.
