Got something, Adam?
Well, yeah, besides nightmares for the next three weeks.

Heard you had a little falling out with Carmen Vega earlier today.
Young woman made a bad decision, paid for it with her life.
Gallows humor... occupational hazard, I guess.
I'm sorry about Carmen and Benny but if they weren't dead already, they'd be spending the rest of their miserable lives behind bars.
That doesn't change the fact that we have a murder to solve.
Hector Toasty Mendez. This guy should get a gold medal in the felony Olympics. He's got 17 arrests this year and two open drug warrants to boot.
I never would have pegged you as an undercover. I guess that's kind of the point though, isn't it?
Yeah. Kinda.
You know, the view inside wasn't what I expected. After a while, targets stop looking like targets and they started looking like... ordinary people.
Ordinary people who sell drugs to kids and solve their problems with a chain saw.
Boys like that get recruited as young as nine. Now, that's not an excuse for what they grow up to become and things that they do. They join 'cause they want to feel loved, accepted, safe. Things they don't feel at home. Things I didn't feel at home.
You found a better way.
I got lucky.
Somebody breaks the law, they get locked up. End of story. But not all offenders are the same. People can surprise you sometimes.

You want my money... you're gonna have to earn it the hard way.

(Hits him on the crotch) Was that hard enough?
Interested in being my friend, Anita?
ALAnita / Lovato
Friends I got. A job's what I need.

Cochina!
Hey! Moron, one more word out of you, and I'm gonna duct tape your mouth shut.
The beauty of a 1972 Buick is very few plastic parts. Means the fire spread nice and slow. Gave the FDNY plenty of time to put out the blaze before the car and its contents were completely burned.
So you're blaming Benny's murder on Carmen?
HMHector (Toasty) Mendez
Just keeping it real, Detective. Call me Honest Abe. I cannot tell a lie.
That was George Washington.
HMHector (Toasty) Mendez
Same difference.
L, want to talk about it?
No.
Hey, come on, you're gonna have to come clean with me sooner or later.
Is there something that you want to know? Go ahead. Ask me.
All right. Your relationship with Benny was more than professional, wasn't it?
Go to hell, Flack!
From where I stand, it looks to me like you're taking Benny's death a little more personal than maybe you should.
Damn right I'm gonna take Benny's murder personally.
Because you had feelings for him?
Because I owe him my life.
