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.
I know, Anita. I know what you really are. A cop.
ALAnita / Lovato
That's crazy. You know I would never front like that.
Stop. I'm not mad. I understand you did what you had to do. It's the way this game is played. I just wish it had been anybody but you.
ALAnita / Lovato
You're better than all this, Benny. You have to know that.
You have to walk away, chula. And never show your face around here again, 'cause if you do there's only one way out for either one of us... that's with blood.
How'd he make you as a cop?
He never told me. He didn't tell anybody else either. Because if he would have, I would've been hanging in that warehouse right next to him.
So the whole time you were busy playing Benny, he was busy falling in love with you.
That's why I was relieved to walk away. Different time, different place, something might have happened between us. But my job means more to me than just about anything. So if you think for one second I would do anything to jeopardize that, you're crazy.
This blade's covered in blood, tissue, bone fragments. I'll bet the farm, it comes back to Benny Madera.
Not your first time with a chain saw?
I'm from Montana, Mac... if I hadn't left, I'd probably be a lumberjack right now.
Science doesn't lie, Raymond, no matter how long you stare at it.
You're wrong, Raymond. Benny didn't sell you or anybody else out. You killed him because you thought he betrayed you and the Trinitarios, but the reality is, there was only one person doing that and that was you. Only you.
You got a set of brass balls, Taylor. What the hell is my informant doing in police custody?
At the moment, he's writing out a confession for the murder of Benny Madera.
Raymond can serve up the Trinitarios on a silver platter. Drugs, kidnapping, murders... all of it. We can take them down... if my star witness gets on the stand and spills his guts.
Doesn't it bother you that your star witness is a sadistic, cold-blooded killer?
I can live with that, considering what he means to the big picture.
The only picture I see is of a man fooling himself. You had a responsibility to uphold the letter of the law, not pick and choose the parts that make your job easier!
Do you want to tell me why you're really here?
I was wrong to assume that you crossed a line with Benny. You're better than that. I was a total jerk. I'm sorry.
What you really want to know is if I slept with him. To clear the air... no... I didn't. Relieved, aren't you?
What? Why?
I think you're jealous.
I think you're delusional.
(Walking up to him) Maybe. Maybe not.
It's getting late. I should probably go.
S9 E10The Real McCoy
Hey, I never asked you. How did your doctor's appointment go yesterday?
He said I'm showing signs of improvement. Sailing through my tests and getting better all the time. Couldn't have done it without you.
This is nice. You, me, a quiet moment. I can see us here years from now sitting on our bench... wrinkly, gray. You'll be all crotchety, of course.
(Chuckles) What's the fun of getting older if you can't be crotchety?
