Lines by Cosgrove 3

CCosgrove

[to Price] I'm a cop. A good one. I catch 'em, you cook 'em. That's how this is supposed to work. Like it or not, I get paid to lie to people like Nicole Bell. Stop trying to save the world and do your damn job.

CCosgrove

Emails weren't hard to find. She saved them under a folder titled "Threats."

CCosgrove

[while chasing a suspect] Look, buddy, you've only got two options here. One, you come with me. Two... [The suspect jumps off the bridge] Why two?

Bail, Miss Ross?

$500,000 on the doctor, your honor, and status quo for Mr. Camacho.

SSutter

I'm sorry. I still don't see why we're here.

People request the cases against Mr. Camacho and Dr. Cosgrove be consolidated.

HHilburne

On what grounds?

The People allege they both killed Nancy O'Neal.

CDr. Cosgrove

What? Me and this gangster?!

HHilburne

Your Honor, Dr. Cosgrove is a respected surgeon…

Enough! Elias Camacho remains remanded. Bail is set for Donald Cosgrove at $500,000. Now, go yell at somebody else.

CCosgrove

It's these damn cameras. They cause a lot of trouble.

Maybe. That's one way to look at it. Another is that cameras keep us accountable.

Big tech has changed the world. Electric cars, artificial intelligence, virtual reality.

CCosgrove

Hard to keep up.

Is that your way of saying that you're not happy with it?

CCosgrove

Just because it's shiny doesn't mean it's good.

CCosgrove

We'll need you and Megan to come down to the precinct with us.

BBass

[nervously] Uh, okay. Why?

CCosgrove

Because you're lying your ass off.

Maybe she has a stalker.

CCosgrove

She made it easy for him. Posted every detail of her life and her future plans. A predator's dream.

I know you're not implying that this is her fault.

CCosgrove

No, I'm just making an observation. Call me old fashioned, call me paranoid, I don't give a rat's ass, that is why my kids don't have social media in the house.

CCosgrove

Judge's wife said he was preoccupied.

Nothing like a side piece to preoccupy someone. Also doubles the chances of you getting bludgeoned to death in a parking garage.

CTComputer tech

The post was sent from a cafe in Brooklyn called Coffee'n'Smile.

CCosgrove

Why has it become mandatory for coffee shops to be called stupid names?

That's why I drink tea.

[Bernard and Cosgrove have just talked to a murder victim's family who disowned him for being gay]

CCosgrove

I can't believe what I just heard. What is this, 1954? Kickin' a kid out because you think he "chose" to be gay?

Crazy, but it's still a thing in my community, especially among the religious folks.

CCosgrove

I don't get it.

Don't get what?

CCosgrove

People - Black people. Here you are, marching in the streets for police reform, all these progressive laws, but if your kid turns out to be gay? Well, he needs counseling. You need to make him "right with God". You ask me, that's what you need to be marching about.

OK, you're right, but don't act like your people are much better. You still can't have premarital sex, for God's sake.

CCosgrove

Reason number 36 why I don't go to church anymore.

AAndre

[about Swanson] He would tell me to take off my clothes, and he'd tell me to pretend like I was his... servant. He would use a different word, of course, but I refuse to say it out loud. Then, ah... he would tie me up, and start to shoot me up with meth.

CCosgrove

He would just just watch you get high? That was exciting to him?

AAndre

No, man, it was way more screwed up than that. It was like he would walk your ass up to Heaven's gates and decide whether you would get to live or die. Sick son-of-a-bitch thought he was God, or somethin'.
