'I don't want to do this, why did I stop yesterday? I should have just finished it then, and then I could have gone home… I couldn't do it then and I can't do it now! Oh, God but I have too…For them and the mothers…For Danny…'
"Lindsay Monroe."
Danny
'This is up there with the stupidest things you have ever done, man. You don't even know if she wants you – let alone showing up out of the blue and sitting through this. Yet here you getting out of your rental and heading up the steps… you must have a death sentence, Messer, because she isn't the only one who will kill you for this thing…'
"Lindsay Monroe."
'Oh, hold up… she's just going in – must be the second day of testimony. Damn, that sucks. Well, you came this far Messer and if she can make through two days of remembering and testify to the worst that has ever happen to her – then you can go in there and listen… I must be crazy.'
Lindsay
'I can't do this… not with him just sitting there with that little half smile…focus on something else, Lindsay,… no damn it! Gotta look at the jury! Oh, I don't know if I can do this…who's that? It can't be! Danny?! Oh, thank you! You stupid, arrogant, loud mouth, wonderful man, thank you!'
"Miss Monroe?"
Danny
'Oh, God, she beautiful – exhausted, but beautiful…God, well she's seen me and not gotten me thrown out… guess I'll sit down and listen…is that him?…is that the guy? …you can take whatever strength I got left Montana, but all I ask is that you use it to take this smug bastard down…C'mon Montana… I believe in ya…'
"Miss Monroe?"
Lindsay
"You may step down, Miss Monroe."
'God that was tiring… I'm so whipped….Danny, thanks…"
Danny
"You may step down, Miss Monroe."
'Ya did good, Montana… I'm proud of ya... and I know the team is too….but I really am…"
Lindsay
"…reached a verdict?"
'Oh, please…please…Danny…'
"…Guilty."
'Thank you God! Thank you Danny! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!'
Danny
"…reached a verdict?"
'C'mon…c'mon… for those girls…for Montana…"
"…Guilty."
'Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes!!!!... Thank you!!!'
Lindsay
'It's really over… and he really came…'
Lindsay rested her head on his shoulder.
Danny
'What now, Montana? God, I just want o hold her again…"
Danny stood and pulled his Montana into a strong and tight embrace.
Lindsay
He starts to leave, but Lindsay pulls him back with a small smile.
'Not yet, cowboy…'
Danny
Grinning down at her, Danny leans towards her.
'Okay, so I lied….this is good too…'
Lindsay
The reporters come rushing in and Lindsay looks around at them stunned.
'Oh, come on!! I mean really people…'
Danny
Seeing his lady freeze, Danny smirks again and begins to lead her out of the courtroom.
'Okay, I really don't like reporters….'
CSI: NY
Alrighty then!!!
C'mon who wasn't bouncing around and doing a little dance when Danny walked into the courtroom – and I don't care if you did spoil it… you still had to smile real big when it happened. And then that little bit at the end!!!!
Oh, boy!!
Hurray for DL!!!! And thank you CBS for finally giving us something to work with!!!
