Horatio and Rick Stetler in “Shattered”

Horatio

This is not about Eric is it? This is about you and me.

I don't have time for this Horatio.

Horatio

I want an answer.

You want an answer.

Horatio

Mmm hum.

Okay I'll give you an answer. Your name wasn't the only one on Lieutenant's list for promotion, I scored better than you, I interviewed better than you, and I don't know what favor you pulled for the chief, but the promotion was mine, now the only thing I can do to make Lieutenant is this IAB crap and everybody hates IAB.

Horatio

Don't punish my lab over it.

I'm just evening the score.

Horatio

This is a dangerous game.

It's one I intend to win.
