Bosch · Season 1, Episode 15

Millie Elias and Irvin Irving in “Unfinished Business”

MEMillie Elias

What they're saying about the cop is true. Francis Sheehan.

There is compelling evidence.

MEMillie Elias

Well, killing my husband won't stop the civil suit.

No, it won't.

MEMillie Elias

[Pause] But that's not why you're here.

You would have made a formidable lawyer, Millie, the way you can read people.

MEMillie Elias

No, I don't love the law the way Howard did. I don't enjoy the game.

And yet, you sent your son to Hollywood station looking like a poster for police brutality.

MEMillie Elias

I let my anger get the best of me.

Well, I've come hoping to persuade you not to let your anger inflame an already volatile situation.

MEMillie Elias

Well, conflagration can be cleansing.

Well, give me a chance to make some changes before consigning the entire city to hellfire.

MEMillie Elias

Mayor Ramos wants to position himself as the reformer.

His blue ribbon panel.

MEMillie Elias

I told him no. If I go back to work, it won't be as a professional widow. I said no to Bradley Walker, as well.

What did the commissioner want?

MEMillie Elias

To tell me that his foundation is funding this beast, assure me that it will have real teeth, power to change the corrosive culture of your department.

His words or yours?

MEMillie Elias

[Pause, then gets up from couch seat with Irvin then getting up] They're trying to throw you under the bus, Irvin. And even in the fog of my grief, that doesn't sit right. [Walks away]
