Quotes

Lindsay Monroe Messer: I think Kate blames me for not catching Garland Clarke. I didn't work that case. I hardly knew anything about it.
Jo Danville: She's been through a lot. Don't take it personally.
Lindsay Monroe Messer: Still... she thinks I don't care. You know what? When she reached out to me after I spoke to her support group, all I did was hand her some pepper spray and a pamphlet on how to deal with trauma. And now I'm accusing her of murder. And I certainly don't blame her for resenting me, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I'm a cop...

Justice And-Or Retribution - What Is The Difference?

Justice or retribution. Do those words mean the same thing? According to a couple of rape victims they do, but "Mac" tells them they are sadly wrong. It is not even close to being the same thing.

This is a story of notorious NYC rapist who the police couldn't catch but someone else could, someone who gave him payback, big-time. I'm purposely avoiding not saying singular or plural, male or female, in the perpetrator (s) of this crime....so as not to spoil anything.

There is a ton of emotion involved with this story, one I'm sure real-life victims could identity with. Some of the conversations Lyndsay and Mac have with suspects are really intense.
