I got a dead drug dealer, I got a suspect, who's probably skipped town and the only person who can shed any light on it is a uncooperative cop with a bad rap. You want me to let his case just slip away son?
S1 E15Unfinished Business
Aceveda seems pissed.
[grins] Just like old times.
I'd like to see a warrant.
I'd like to see Anna Kournikova naked on a waterbed.
You're going undercover as dirty cops. You think you can pull that off?
We can try.
If I'm gonna be a crooked cop, I've at least got to be honest about it!
[while guarding a witness] Instead of playing poker, we should be playing poke her.
Should I be worried about you?
Not about me. Maybe about the rest of humanity... bunch of sociopathic little narcissists out for ourselves. Begging... stealing... lying... screwing... raping... killing our babies. Whatever it takes to have a good time and save our own asses. I can't even believe in an old woman who's too sick to feed herself, and it's not sad... it's not some big surprise. It's just nature. We're animals... nothing more. And ya' know what? I'm learning to be OK with that.
See that one-niner over there? I've done a few favors for his crew out on the street. He's willing to pay me back. One phone call from me... and you're greenlit!
Greenlit?
It's an American prison term. It means you'll be shanked in the shower asshole, bleed out before the guards even know you're late for breakfast.
Oh you're so full of shit.
No.
You're gonna sit there and pretend to understand me, what I'm going through?
N-N-Na-No. I'm telling you the truth.
You think I'm gonna believe a bullshit story like that?
Calm down.
Like I'm going to associate with you?
Calm down!
Think I'm going to give you this gun? Think I'm some kind of idiot, that you don't have to take seriously? This is how serious I am! [Shoots Connie]
Look you know I want to help, I just can't.
You son of a bitch.
For the record I have no useful information.
You know he's out there, you know he's got the kid, and all you can think about is saving your own ass.
[attempting to anger a suspect] You couldn't take a lie detector test if you wanted to because it couldn't fit around that fat wrist of yours.
Bob said it was your idea to cut the arm off.
Yeah. After that she wasn't so pretty.
[about Dutch closing a murder case] Nice job.
Don't sound so surprised.
Well, I was just worried about you for a little while.
Should've had more faith in me.
Nice work.
[smugly] I know.
I'm glad.
You should be. I break cases nobody else in this division can. I deserve a little more damn respect than I've been getting around here lately. You wanted me to close a case without incident? I did it. [throws his coat over his shoulder, and struts off cockily]
I guess he's back.
I guess so.
[about Julien's fiancee] She's a beautiful girl.
Yeah.
I guess I must have missed something. Last person I saw you kissing was a little more... male. Sure you know what you're doing?
Yeah.
In that case, congratulations.
It's illegal to carry bugspray?
It is when you're trying to blind people with it.
Yeah, well you're all bugging me.
