“Leap of Faith” quotes from Third Watch

Prisoner (about Cruz): Dead bitch walking.

Levine (to Kathy): First you "accidentally" swallow a bunch of antacids.

Kathy: That wasn't an accident. That was a bad decision.

Levine: Okay. But then you "accidentally" turn the gas on, leave it on with all the windows closed. A person might think you're trying to harm yourself.

Kathy: I see what you mean, but really, I'm fine.

Levine: I don't believe you.

Carlos: Oh, and I'm insensitive?

Levine (about Kathy): She turned the burner on "light" mode and then just walked away to lie on the couch. She didn't notice the ticking sound?

Carlos: Maybe she couldn't hear it over all the voices in her head.

Yokas: No Circuit City open-box-special, for starters. And I want a witness.

Capt. Finney: I brought a witness.

Yokas: No, I want a witness that doesn't file you under "Boss" in his Rolodex. In fact, I want two. And I want a deal.

Capt. Finney: You want a deal?

Yokas: Full immunity.

Capt. Finney: And you'll tell me everything?

Yokas: Every detail.

Monroe: Is that a woman on that ledge?

Sully: Oh, hell.

Yokas: The bruises in the photos of Donald Mann's wrists were caused by handcuffs. Sergeant Cruz had handcuffed Donald Mann before I arrived at the scene. She had taken him into custody and was on the way out with him, down to the car to bring him in. To book him. And that's when I shot him.

Capt. Finney: You mean that when she shot him.

Yokas: No. I shot him.

Capt. Finney: You think you're gonna play me?

Yokas: You wanted to know what happened.

Capt. Finney: I want the truth.

Yokas: I told you the truth.

Capt. Finney: I want the truth. You're a liar. I want the truth and I want it now.

Yokas: No you don't. You want Cruz. I am telling you the truth. I shot Donald Mann. I did it because I thought he killed Bosco. I didn't care what happened to me. Cruz was trying to protect me.

Kathy: I'm just so… tired.

Carlos: Take a nap. Look, you gotta hang in there and see how things are gonna turn out, 'cause you could miss out on something great just because you gave up on it before you gave it a chance. (Carlos looks at Levine) Gotta give things a chance.

Sully (to Finney): Listen, Junior Hero. I know you think your ass is special because your old man's a honcho. But your old man is a thug, a thief, and a murderer. And nothing you ever do on this job's gonna change that.

Sully (to Davis): I'm gonna tell you this story one time. I'm gonna tell you the "see spot run" version and when I'm done telling you, we're done with it. It was a long time ago. There were a bunch of dirty cops who were taking payoff money from drug dealers. About a dozen or so of them. Some you never heard of… your father and CT Finney. When it became clear that the house of cards was gonna cave in, the rest of the gang had a brainstorm. They'd pin it on the black guy. 'Cause, you know, 'cause that would be an easy thing to do. Your father saw it coming. Decided to head 'em off at the pass. CT Finney got wind of it. You know the rest.

Davis: What are you saying? What, Captain Finney killed my father?

Sully: Your father was going to IAB the next day. We got a bogus call. Your father ended up dead. A month later, CT Finney's in a nice corner office downtown. You can draw your own conclusions.

Yokas (to Cruz): I can't figure this. Why the hell would you go through all that to protect me?

Cruz: I don't rat out cops.

Yokas: Look, we're not friends. I don't even like you.

Cruz: You know what? I spent the entire day with a bunch of people telling me how much they don't like me. So you wanna fight, let's go. Let's go, let's just get it over with.

Yokas: I told you that night I didn't want you to be involved.

Cruz: I was already involved. He was my prisoner.

Yokas: And I told you that I would face my punishment...

Cruz: This isn't about you! I don't rat on cops. It makes no difference who they are or whether I like them or not. I don't rat on cops.

Yokas: I don't owe you anything, Cruz. I didn't want you to do this.

Cruz: Fair enough.
