Rawling and Aceveda in “Unfinished Business”

I also looked into the crime stats. The numbers are up because you manipulated yours to make things look better. I'm getting punished because I reported mine accurately.

Sounds to me like now's a good time to start formulating an exit strategy for the seizure policy.

The only person who can take me off this is the Chief and not without one hell of a fight from me.

Aceveda: Well then, I'd start training. I just spoke to him. He's still blue in the face from having to explain to the ACLU lawyers why you put a cop like Vic, in charge of such a controversial program.

That's what all this is about, Mackey?

Aceveda: Starting tonight, Vic is the face of that church invasion. Pulling him off the street might buy you some slack.

He's working. I stand by my choice.

Aceveda:You just won't take help, will you?

Help from you? Sure. Orders? No.

Aceveda: If Mackey's off the table, I'm going to have to set my sights on the policy in general.
