Quotes
Det. Peter Lyons: Look, Alexandra, most of what I do is outreach. I'm more comfortable interpreting for the community than interrogating it.
Alexandra Eames: You helped us at the rink.
Det. Peter Lyons: Well, there your partner was right. That's a public place. This is completely different.
Alexandra Eames: Shankly was out of line, but there is still a murderer out there targeting people who educate and care for the deaf. Are you comfortable with that?

The silent world

This was a fascinating episode, a look into the silent world of the deaf. The victim here is a doctor who specializes in doing implants that will enable some deaf to hear.

There is a real connection here with me because we've heard it mentioned that DNA alteration is in the future. That those of us who are LGBT can be 'fixed'. Since a whole culture is affected that raises considerable issues. I kind of understand where some of these people are coming from.

This episode features some fine performances from Bill O'Brien as a police detective who interprets in sign for Chris Noth and Julianne Nicholson and from deaf mute actor Garrett Zuercher who takes those issues quite seriously.
