[when they realize that Lem is dead] Are you happy now, Detective Mackey?

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Track down whatever you can find. Run everything by me. And Vic, that renegade s--t’s not gonna fly on my watch, but you already knew that.
It looks like a new Sheriff just limped into town.
[to Claudette] The only reason I was hanging around here was because we were partners, and now that’s gone. I’d just like to move on.
[final line of the season] We're gonna find out who did this...and we're gonna kill 'im.

Anyone ever tell you that you have incredibly expressive eyes? You ever been on film?
Ever been in a mug book?
What are you doing here?
You got Emolia to lie for you.
Now you know the difference between a lie and a truth?
You think I'm a cop killer. Maybe I am. You're a cop, right?
That sounds like a direct threat on my life, Detective. You know what that means?
It means you just stepped onto an entirely new playing field. And for your sake, I hope you know the rules of the game.
Truth is, it isn’t your time yet. But the universe will take out its trash. It always does.
Looks like it already has.
You've been a very busy boy. Planting evidence. Coercing witnesses. Assaulting my ex-wife.
I learned from the master.
Walter Chatton was a contemporary of Occam; disputed the razor. Coined his own anti-razor. Chatton believed that the world was too complex; there are too many variables to assume the simplest answer was always the correct one.

You got no bullets, cerdo. All that smoke make you forget?
I got one in the chamber, dickhead. Your homeys were too stoned to notice. One of you shoots me, my muscle twitch takes out your bad boy here. So, either you and I are gonna leave this basement together, or we're gonna leave this life together. You decide.
[to Claudette] At least I have Mackey out of my life. He's not my problem anymore. He's yours.
[Vic is trying to get a confession by torturing Guardo]
You know, maybe he didn't do it, man.
If it wasn't Guardo, who was it?
Look at him, man. If he had a name, do you think he would have told us by now?
That just means he was acting alone.
Come on. This is crazy, man.
[yelling] He killed Lem! Do you remember his body, his face? Do you think you can just forget that? Huh? Don't you think he deserves to die for what he did?
GGuardo
I didn't do it, I swear. He's got the wrong guy.
Yeah... I know.
GGuardo
Money. I give you money. Make you rich. What do you want?
Peace.
I like Ronnie. He's quiet. There's something there. Wouldn't mind doing a little Strike Team time myself. Fall into the shit, get the blood moving.
Yeah. It's too bad you get those headaches.
You know, you're very sarcastic. I forgot to list that one.
