"Unspoken" is an episode of American crime drama CSI: NY. The episode aired on October 19, 2012, on CBS. The episode is unique because there isn't any dialogue within the first half of the episode, but there is a soundtrack from American punk rock band Green Day, consisting of songs from the group's ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tré! album trilogy.[1] The episode was well received by critics and was watched by 9.48 million viewers.[2] The episode has a politician being shot, the shooter dumping the gun, children finding it and one of them dying. It also has Mac Taylor's struggles after his shooting in the previous season.
A man shoots a politician at a political rally where Lindsay is injured. Flack chases the shooter and finds a little girl shot by her friend after they played with the tossed gun. The child dies in his arms. Mac is seen having difficulty remembering words and colors as a result of his previous injuries. The CSIs learn that the gun belonged to the politician who was shot. He admits that he never reported the gun stolen. The shooter visits Lindsay in the hospital because she saw his face during the attack. He plans to kill her but spares her when he sees a drawing by her daughter. The CSIs later learn that the politician wasn't the target. Instead it was a teacher who was responsible for getting the shooter relieved of his job at his school because she thought his caring behavior was inappropriate. When interviewed by the police he claims to have never hurt a child, not realising that his gun was used to shoot a girl after he tossed it in a dumpster.
