- John Sullivan: [to Finney] Listen, Junior Hero. I know you think your ass is special because your old man's a honcho, but your old man is a thug, a thief, and a murderer. And nothing you ever do on this job's gonna change that.
- Tyrone Davis: [to Sully] If they both had their story straight, the investigation was closed. Then what changed?
- [Finney walks in]
- John Sullivan: Yeah, I wonder.
- Tyrone Davis: What?
- John Sullivan: Rat Junior shows up here and a month later, one of us is behind bars. Nah, I'm sure that's just a coincidence.
- Faith Yokas: [to Captain Finney] The bruises in the photos of Donald Mann's wrists were caused by handcuffs. Sergeant Cruz had handcuffed Donald Mann before I arrived at the scene. She had taken him into custody and was on the way out with him, down to the car to bring him in to book him. And that's when I shot him.
- Captain Cathel Finney: You mean that when she shot him.
- Faith Yokas: No. I shot him.
- Carlos Nieto: [to Kathy] So, um, let me get this straight. You thought that you were gonna die from eating too many antacid tablets?
- Kathy Langelier: That won't kill me?
- Carlos Nieto: Maybe if you're eating them when you're walking out into traffic... .
- Holly Levine: Carlos.
- Carlos Nieto: Or something. Um, actually, you shouldn't exceed the recommended dose of any medication unless you first consult your physician.
- Kathy Langelier: Even if I'm just taking them to get high?
- Carlos Nieto: Especially then. Yeah, you shouldn't abuse medicine for any reason, ever.
- Tyrone Davis: [to Davis] I'm gonna tell you this story one time. I'm gonna tell you the "see spot run" version and when I'm done telling you, we're done with it. It was a long time ago. There were a bunch of dirty cops who were taking payoff money from drug dealers. About a dozen or so of them. Some you never heard of. Your father and CT Finney. When it became clear that the house of cards was gonna cave in, the rest of the gang had a brainstorm. They'd pin it on the black guy 'cause, you know, 'cause that would be an easy thing to do. Your father saw it coming. Decided to head 'em off at the pass. CT Finney got wind of it. You know the rest.
- Tyrone Davis: What are you saying? What, Captain Finney killed my father?
- John Sullivan: Your father was going to IAB the next day. We got a bogus call. Your father ended up dead. A month later, CT Finney's in a nice corner office downtown. You can draw your own conclusions.
- Captain Cathel Finney: [to Yokas] You think you're gonna play me?
- Faith Yokas: You wanted to know what happened.
- Captain Cathel Finney: I want the truth.
- Faith Yokas: I told you the truth.
- Captain Cathel Finney: I want the truth. You're a liar. I want the truth and I want it now.
- Faith Yokas: No, you don't. You want Cruz. I am telling you the truth. I shot Donald Mann. I did it because I thought he killed Bosco. I didn't care what happened to me. Cruz was trying to protect me.
- Grace Foster: [to Walsh] So, Lieu, what do you know about the new guy?
- Walsh: He needs to buy a vowel for his last name.
- Prisoner: If it wasn't her brother, it was somebody else's.
- Maritza Cruz: Oh, that's brilliant.
- Prisoner: Are you calling me stupid?
- Maritza Cruz: No. Pissing off a cop who's gonna be out of here by 5:00 is.. is genius.
- Prisoner: Well, at least I know how to do some math, bitch. There's a whole bunch of us and one of you.
- Maritza Cruz: Fine. I'm scared. I'm gonna be over in the corner trembling, bitch.
- Holly Levine: [about Kathy] She's obviously suicidal.
- Carlos Nieto: Oh, come on. If she wanted to kill herself all she had to do was go...
- Holly Levine: Would you keep your voice down? She doesn't need instructions.
- Carlos Nieto: I am not gonna spend the rest of the day at Bellevue because some wack job tried to get high on Rolaids. I'm not.
- Holly Levine: [to Kathy] First you "accidentally" swallow a bunch of antacids.
- Kathy Langelier: That wasn't an accident. That was a bad decision.
- Holly Levine: Okay. But then you "accidentally" turn the gas on, leave it on with all the windows closed. A person might think you're trying to harm yourself.
- Kathy Langelier: I see what you mean, but really, I'm fine.
- Holly Levine: I don't believe you.
- Carlos Nieto: Oh, and I'm insensitive?
- Faith Yokas: [to Cruz] I can't figure this. Why the hell would you go through all that to protect me?
- Maritza Cruz: I don't rat out cops.
- Faith Yokas: Look, we're not friends. I don't even like you.
- Maritza Cruz: You know what? I spent the entire day with a bunch of people telling me how much they don't like me. So you wanna fight, let's go. Let's go, let's just get it over with.
- Faith Yokas: I told you that night I didn't want you to be involved.
- Maritza Cruz: I was already involved. He was my prisoner.
- Faith Yokas: And I told you that I would face my punishment... .
- Maritza Cruz: This isn't about you! I don't rat on cops. It makes no difference who they are or whether I like them or not. I don't rat on cops.
- Faith Yokas: I don't owe you anything, Cruz. I didn't want you to do this.
- Maritza Cruz: Fair enough.
- Judge Alexander Stark: [about Cruz] In the meantime, the defendant will be held at the Rikers Island detention center.
- Maritza Cruz: You can't be serious.
- Judge Alexander Stark: Next case.
- Albert Rivas: Your Honor, permission to approach?
- Judge Alexander Stark: Next case, as in the one after this one.
- Maritza Cruz: That's a death sentence and you know it.
- Judge Alexander Stark: A death sentence without a trial? Who would do a thing like that? I'm a big fan of due process.
- Albert Rivas: [to Judge Stark about Cruz] Your Honor, my client has been a member of the NYPD for ten years. She hasn't missed a day of work except when injured in the line of duty. She's not exactly a flight risk.
- Steven Ross: To the contrary, Your Honor. The defendant has a list of civilian complaints lodged against her the size of the Manhattan yellow pages, and she's been the subject of three Internal Affairs investigations. Additionally, she has no living relatives or any other ties to the community. If she has a brain cell, she already has a plane ticket in her pocket.
- Albert Rivas: That's blatantly and demonstrably false, Your Honor.
- Judge Alexander Stark: That she has a brain cell or a plane ticket? Sergeant Cruz, do you, or do you not have ties to the community?
- Maritza Cruz: Depends on your definition.
- Judge Alexander Stark: What happened to your face?
- Maritza Cruz: I... tripped over my ties to the community.
