[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.

Emails weren't hard to find. She saved them under a folder titled "Threats."
[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?
Scenes with Cosgrove 27
Bail, Miss Ross?
$500,000 on the doctor, your honor, and status quo for Mr. Camacho.
I'm sorry. I still don't see why we're here.
People request the cases against Mr. Camacho and Dr. Cosgrove be consolidated.
On what grounds?
The People allege they both killed Nancy O'Neal.
What? Me and this gangster?!
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.
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.
Hard to keep up.
Is that your way of saying that you're not happy with it?
Just because it's shiny doesn't mean it's good.
We'll need you and Megan to come down to the precinct with us.
[nervously] Uh, okay. Why?
Because you're lying your ass off.
Maybe she has a stalker.
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.
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.
Looks like our D.O.A. was a judge.
Not the verdict he was looking for.
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.
The post was sent from a cafe in Brooklyn called Coffee'n'Smile.
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]
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.
I don't get it.
Don't get what?
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.
Reason number 36 why I don't go to church anymore.
[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.
He would just just watch you get high? That was exciting to him?
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'.
It's time we had a chat with Mr. Pratt.
Oh, I love it when you rhyme.
You don't have to like the people you work with.
Is he sending us a message, Kate?
Probably. But luckily, I don't care.
