Ravarra come through the 116 last night around 2:00 A.M. Same time and precinct as Billy Travers.
So Flack's going at Billy in the interrogation room and Manny's sitting in the bullpen being processed? Rookie cops.

(to Owen Hicks; impersonating a polygraph examiner)I understand there's a question to the veracity of certain statements that you may or may not have made and or heard during your confinement in the fine institution known as Rikers Island. Is that correct?
OHOwen Hicks
I have no idea what the hell you just said, man.
Are you playing games with me, son?
OHOwen Hicks
No, I'm not playing games...!
Because any heretofore games will not be tolerated. Okay?
[As Jo and Danny witness Adam trying to get a confession out of Owen Hicks]
How long do you give him?
Well, if Adam remembers to plug the damn thing in, I don't think he gets past the first question.
First question? No way it gets that far.
[Back in the interrogation room]
(to Owen Hicks as he gets him ready for the polygraph) This simply measures your blood pressure while the test is being administered. The information then relays to the pen thingy which will go haywire if you're full of... if you're being untruthful. And, based on the amount of sweat that's accumulated on your forehead... gross... is more than likely.
Judge let Billy Travers out on bail. As of now, the mother's I.D. is all we have and I'm not even sure we have that.
Should we offer her some kind of protection?
She'll refuse. She's on her son's side now. So unless we come up with a forensic link, he'll be at her bedside by the end of the day.
If this is gonna work we got to trust each other. The DD-5 documenting Grace Travers recanting the I.D.... I saw you looking at it. Damaging to the case... you thought maybe I wouldn't file it?
History has a tendency of repeating itself.
What happened in D.C. is not a part of my history.
Uncovering mistakes made by your lab and alerting defense counsel was part of your oath. Still is.
Tell that to Senator Matthews. I still get letters from him blaming me for the outcome of his daughter's case. The mistake I uncovered was made by a guy named Frank Waters. Impeccable reputation. I worked with Frank Waters for 12 years, Mac. I went to his wedding, his kids' birthdays. So when I discovered he destroyed a document detailing a mistake he made interpreting DNA results, trust became just another word and Serena Matthews' rapist went free.
You had to make it public.
It was a decision I don't regret making and I'd make it again.
Jo, my team does not sacrifice integrity for a desired result. Now that you're part of it, I promise you you'll never have to make that kind of decision again, okay?
Don Flack :[about Paul Benson] I don't get it. This guy was the senior class president, captain of the soccer team, Dean's list. This kid had everything going for him back in 2002. He was the guy you love to hate in every John Hughes film.
He was even dating the prom queen, Sarah Dufresne.
Apparently dating her wasn't enough (reads from Benson's file) "I told him I wanted to wait, that if he loved me, he would respect that I wanted to wait. He grabbed my arms and pinned me down." One minute he's Harvard bound, next he's Rikers bound.
SBSteven Benson
(about testifying against his son, Paul in a rape case) Not a day goes by we don't second-guess our decision. Paul's our son.
If you'd kept silent, you wouldn't have been able to live with yourselves.
SBSteven Benson
It took a few weeks and several fights, but we decided that telling the truth was the right thing to do.
It was. No matter how much it may have hurt. So you had no contact with Paul after that?
SBSteven Benson
We tried, but Paul didn't want anything to do with us. He felt that we'd betrayed him so he just cut us off.
NBNina Benson
We moved a couple years later. Tried to put it behind us.
Paul was digging by the side of the house for the spare key. But the locks had been changed and he used a crowbar to get inside. He thought it was you in that bed. Paul went back to the house to kill you.
What were you thinking, Paul? You were getting even? That killing your parents was somehow gonna settle the score for them testifying against you?
PBPaul Benson
I was just a kid.
You were 18 years old. You were old enough to be held accountable for your actions.
PBPaul Benson
They betrayed me.
No, no. You betrayed them. You think it was easy for your parents to do what they did? Your girlfriend, Sarah... they were just supposed to let her go through life knowing you raped her and got away with it?
PBPaul Benson
The woman who went to the hospital... she survived? She's gonna be okay?
No. She lost her husband, her son lost his father and she's gonna have permanent brain damage. So, no, she's not gonna be okay. You had an opportunity to get out and make something of your life, Paul. Instead, you destroyed another family.
I'm sorry you had to go through that, Billy.
Yeah. I get it. You were just doing your job, I guess.
You know, sometimes we lose sight of how hard it is to be called a suspect.
GTGrace Travers
Billy. Who's this?
My name is Mac Taylor.
GTGrace Travers
Have you met my son Billy?
I have. You have a good son, Mrs. Travers. You're a very lucky woman.
(To Sid) Can you tell us anything about the nature of the blunt-force object?
(Stares at her, doesn't say anything)
Sid?
I'm sorry, I just wasn't prepared for you to be so...
Female? (smiles)
