Linda Hamilton: Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler

Quotes 

• Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : What's wrong?

  Vincent : I've just seen something... hideous.

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : What?

  Vincent : A woman murdered before my eyes.

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : My god, Vincent. Where?

  Vincent : The park.

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : Tonight?

  Vincent : Just now.

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : Well, what happened?

  Vincent : The ones who killed her... barely more than boys. I've seen death before, even murder, but... not like this. Not so cold.

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : Tell me what happened.

  Vincent : They rejoiced in it.

• Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : You can't do this.

  Vincent : They must be stopped.

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : Not this way!

  Vincent : Then how? How? Last night, I stopped them from killing again.

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : They will be caught. Vincent, trust me. They will be caught.

  Vincent : Before they kill again? They were caught, and they were set free.

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : You can't endanger yourself because of it. It's wrong!

  Vincent : With my own eyes, I saw them kill a defenseless woman. How can I pretend, merely because I cannot walk into your court, that what I saw did not happen?

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : I know it seems unjust. It is unjust. But you have to let me, you have to let my world deal with it.

  Vincent : They've come to my world. They come into the back streets and the alleys, looking to play in the darkness. I know the darkness; I am its friend. And I know it is nothing to be played with. When they come to my world, Catherine, I will be there, waiting for them. When they come looking for the darkness, they will find me.

• Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : You got your tush handed to you at that hearing, but things could have been a lot worse.

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : I let two murderers get away. How can that be worse?

  Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : Those people could've sued you right out of a job. You're just lucky they hate publicity even more than they hate you.

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : I'm not afraid of them.

  Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : Well, maybe you should be.

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : They're guilty!

  Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : You know, you keep saying that. You know something I don't know?

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : [reluctantly]  I had a tip, Joe. I had a witness.

  Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : Well, why the hell didn't you say something earlier?

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : Because he can't testify.

• D.A. John Moreno : I just heard that you had requested continued surveillance on the Benson kid. Is that true?

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : Yes.

  D.A. John Moreno : Are you out of your mind? I just spent all day getting chewed out for putting those kids in front of a judge. And now this? Why?

  Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : Sir, she has a witness.

  D.A. John Moreno : Well, then why didn't he testify?

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : He can't.

  D.A. John Moreno : What do you mean he can't? Who is he?

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : It doesn't matter who he is.

  D.A. John Moreno : This is a murder case.

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : I lost him, okay?

  D.A. John Moreno : Then drop it. When you find your witness, call me. Until then, drop it.

  Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : [Moreno leaves]  What's going on here, Cathy?

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : He *can't* testify.
