Dead or Alive (2010)

Tom Hillmann: Lieutenant Briggs

Quotes 

• Michael Westen : [narrative]  A career in law enforcement tends to make for a cynical outlook on life. Where spies spend their careers telling lies, cops spend their careers listening to them.

  Lieutenant Briggs : So let me get this straight: you want me to reopen the case of a dirty officer so you can clear his name by implicating his partner...

  Sam Axe : Look, if you just follow me to Kevin's house right now, II can prove it. You got to believe me.

  Lieutenant Briggs : No I don't. You have no idea what you're accusing this department of.

  Sam Axe : You listen, Briggs...

  Lieutenant Briggs : It's "Lieutenenant Briggs." You're addressing a commanding officer.

  Sam Axe : Fine. You want ot earn your stripes? Help me take Jackman down.

  Lieutenant Briggs : This is insane. Get the hell out of my way.

  [Sam shoves Briggs against his car and grabs his gun from his holster] 

  Lieutenant Briggs : This is assault!

  Sam Axe : [holding Lt. Briggs's gun on him]  It's about to be a lot worse than that. Now you listen to me, Lieutenant. For the sake of a man who was my friend and your brother on the force, do not make me ask you again.

  Lieutenant Briggs : I'll have you crucified for this.

  Sam Axe : When this is done, you feel the need to crucify me, I will climb up on that cross myself.

• Sam Axe : Sort it out in prison, you son of a bitch!

  [Sam punches out Ted Sayers, then turns around with his hands behind his back to Lieutenant Briggs] 

  Sam Axe : You want to cuff me, go ahead.

  Lieutenant Briggs : [sighs]  Maybe later. Now, how about you help me drag his sorry ass out to the car?
