Carolyn Barek quotes from Law & Order: Criminal Intent

The suit alleges civil rights violations including the use of excessive force, going back to 1993.

Logan

This is crap. These were all investigated and dismissed by the review board.

All except the last one. Greg Sanchez. He alleges you threatened him with a pool cue and tried to drag him to a bathroom.

Logan

Oh, yeah. Him. The fence. I never actually threatened him.

Mr. Sanchez named Detective Barek as a witness.

Barek

Nobody talked to me about it. If they had I would've said I saw a smart detective use the power of suggestion to get life-saving information from a known criminal.

Logan

Hey, thanks for saying that.

Barek

Don't thank me. That's what I saw.

Logan

Well, hey. Thanks for seeing what you saw.

Barek

How do you know all that aeronautical lore? Date a stewardess?

Logan

My old man. Took me to the beach on the weekends to watch the planes take off and land. He used to fly what they called Corsairs off the aircraft carrier Antietam during the Korean War. So. Of course I wanted to be a fighter pilot.

Barek

Hah. I can see that.

Barek

None of them were sexually assaulted, just like our Jane Doe.

This perp gets stranger.

Barek

Could be a hooker with no arrests.

Yep. And there's a heaven where we'll all be reunited with our childhood dogs.

Barek

He stays here?

Yes. Until his last night. Then he sleeps on his boat in the harbor. He says to get back his sea legs.

Logan

Yeah. After a weekend I need to get my cop legs back.

Barek

Art could've run but he came back to help his cousin.

Yeah, it'd be touching. If they weren't serial killers.

Barek

If Art's dad had known what his bullying would lead to, he might have thought twice about it.

Logan

You ever wonder why I don't have kids? Now you know.

Barek

I think we've been made.

Logan

Yes, but as what?

Barek

We're not far from the Pekonic Indian reservation.

Logan

Talk about feeling like a stranger in your own country.

Barek

Them or us?

Barek

That's just what they need. An addiction-driven economy.

Logan

Hey, it's better than no economy at all.

If I'd known I would be grilled by some Visigoth --

Logan

A what?

Barek

It's a barbarian tribe that invaded Rome.

Logan

Oh.

Barek

I remember that from the one history class I didn't cut.

I'm sure you were a very charming street urchin.

Logan

Waterproof to cover a wound? Maybe it's not for nothing he's wearing a turtleneck.

Barek

We need to find someone who's seen him without his shirt on. Unless you want to take a schwitz with him.

Logan

They don't pay me enough.

Barek

Her area of research is death?

It's how people use magical thinking to deal with the uncertainties of death.

Barek

Magical thinking. So you can control events with your thoughts.

Or with ritualistic behavior.

Logan

Like crossing yourself when you pass a hearse.

Barek

She's got that one here along with getting your throat blessed so you don't choke on a fish bone.

Logan

That doesn't work?

Barek

There is ash on their forehead.

Rodgers

Frankincense. And almond oil on their lips.

Barek

Some kind of Last Rites?

Rodgers

A killer worried about their afterlife?

Logan

He should've worried about his own.
