Yeah, and it's freaking depressing. Somebody crying about losing their girl, their house. I don't need to hear it, I'm living it.
You got no culture.
If I admit it, will you turn it off?

Yeah, and it's freaking depressing. Somebody crying about losing their girl, their house. I don't need to hear it, I'm living it.
You got no culture.
If I admit it, will you turn it off?
Look, I want you out of my apartment! I got my rights!
I'll give you a right, and a couple lefts too if you don't start talking straight.
Vera: Richard Keesel, consecutive lives for starting two fatal fires. Remind me not to invite you to a barbecue.
Making tracks? The girl was a prude. My dog Snowflake had a better sex life than I did when I was going with her.
[To Scotty over his Cuban heritage.] Oh, Cuban Pete's all over this one.
Sounds good, sign me up.
Can you catch?
Hell yeah, I can catch.
You throw like a girl?
You guess like a white guy?
Oz into recycling?
Nope. But an old CI of mine is. Goes by Clifford.
As in big red dog?
As in white boy with dreads.
It was broad daylight. No one sees nothing?
Well, half hour after Kennedy was shot. Everyone's glued to their TVs. Three gunshots, the sixties were young. I was... playing touch football at recess.
Recess? Thought you were like 45 when it happened.
No, you're thinking of when Lincoln was shot.
Got any names?
Yeah. Jackass 1 and Jackass 2. Hoping they're both dead by now.
Baltimore Red. Wimpy Lassiter. The Rifle. Ridiculous.
Every banger I tracked had some kind of nickname too. This one: Snoopy. Searched every doghouse, outhouse, guess where I found him.
Online dating?
Dude was pumping gas next to me, big old Snoopy medallion round his neck.
Pennsylvania Military Institute, all male for 162 years.
Well, mid-90s Justice Department forced almost every state military academy to admit qualified female applicants. Even Valley Forge and The Citadel are coed now.
PMI was only of the last holdouts till 4 years ago. Can't believe this is still an issue.
Male institutions dragging their feet to admit women? Yeah, glad that's behind us.
Next thing you know, they'll start letting them be detectives.
[Scotty Valens and Lilly Rush are being shown the floor of Echo Company's barracks at the Pennsylvania Military Institute, where Kate Butler stayed in her time there.]
[Reading a plaque on the wall] 'A cadet shall not lie, cheat, or steal, nor shall he tolerate those who do'.
Honor Code; notice they got one in every building.
Single-sanction policy, ma'am; one violation gets you drummed out.
Pretty strict code for most mortals.
[The three have reached the former room of PMI's first two female cadets. Cadet Gardner turns around before unlocking the door; he holds up the gold class ring on his right hand and speaks as if quoting scripture.]
And on the Eighth Day, God created PMI.
[Colonel Murillo, Commandant of the Pennsylvania Military Institute, has been called to the Philadelphia PD's offices for questioning.]
Thank you for coming in, Mr. Murillo.
It's Colonel Murillo. I think I've earned that.
You can have a seat.
You have a problem with Cadet Butler enrolling at PMI, Colonel?
What's this all about? [Looks at Stillman] Lieutenant?
I believe the detective asked you a question.
What I have a problem with is irrelevant in view of what the courts have decided, now isn't it?
It isn't when you allow a student to be assaulted on campus.
That's a bit presumptuous. Am I on the stand here?
You knew Kate was attacked; you should have stopped it from going further.
I knew no such thing.
We have a cadet who witnessed it. Told you what he saw.
What Cadet Keith Henderson told me was hearsay: I chose to go directly to the horse's mouth.
[A flashback scene occurs with Kate Butler reporting to COL Murillo's office; when asked if she was assaulted by an upperclassman in the barracks the previous night, she denies it, despite Murillo reminding her of the Honor Code, which forbids a cadet from lying.]
So that's it? You just let her go?
What the hell would you have me do? The Honor Code is the backbone of the Institute. If she says it didn't happen, it didn't.
She was trying to suck it up. To fit in with the male cadets.
Well, then. She made her choice, didn't she?
[Major Moe Kitchener, Operations Officer at PMI, is being questioned by Valens and Rush.]
What happened between Cadets Stewart and Butler was tragic and shameful. But if you're looking to spread the blame, I suggest you start with the courts.
The courts... killed Kate Butler.
Do you know how many Congressmen have graduated from PMI? Twelve. Six Senators; eight four-star generals. Those courts ordered us to change the way we do things here! [Smiles ironically] Now here we are.
Stuck installing women's latrines and tampon dispensers.
There are over sixty women's colleges in this country. Do you see any men banging down the doors, trying to get in? The value of a separate education, is that it is SEPARATE!
You sound bitter, Moe.
Because of this catastrophic experiment, an army of lawyers and press stand ready to shut down the institution I love. The one thing I share with my father, and his before him. Excuse me, if I forgot to shed a tear for Hank Butler's daughter!
[Lilly Rush is questioning Moe Kitchener in a soundproofed room again.]
Gotcha, Moe.
[Casually] That so?
Sent Ryan for that footlocker, made Cadet Butler's body disappear, and you framed Lawrence for the job.
What? Now you're gonna tell me that kid is really dead?
I just... I just know he didn't do it. That's all that matters.
Stories. You're just telling yourself stories.
You even tried to take out a cop.
You?
You're busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking competition, Moe!
[Sighs] You can only keep the flood back for so long, Detective.
The flood?
Pretty soon it's gonna pull you down. For good.
[Slamming her hands on the table right in front of Kitchener] You put that girl in a BOX!
I put you there too, sweetheart.
[Cracks appear in the walls, and water begins to flood in from under the door.]
No... No, I got out! I got you!
Not from where I'm sitting.
[The flood of water increases and Kitchener vanishes when Rush looks away; it is revealed she has been dreaming, unconscious after MAJ Kitchener rammed her car while she was driving across a bridge, attempting to murder her a second time.]
