Quotes 

• Det. Mac Taylor : Hey. You solve this thing yet?

  Jo Danville : Can you give me till lunch?

  [Jo laughs] 

  Jo Danville : Torres' death leaves a void at the top of his crew, so I thought I'd look at his replacements. Might be able to avoid a street war if we can talk to them. So I'm gathering this as I go. Seems Torres was the face of this crew, but Lisa Brigosa... she's the brains, and Rick Devarro is the street muscle. Although, given his penchant for getting arrested, Rick's not too bright.

  Det. Mac Taylor : There's one other: Luther Devarro.

  Jo Danville : Any relation to Rick?

  Det. Mac Taylor : His older brother... the founder of El Puño, but more of an advisor at this stage of his career. I helped put him away fifteen years ago. He was released last week.

  Jo Danville : Gasoline on the fire.

  Det. Mac Taylor : It's one thing to be a street guy, another to be smart. But it's dangerous when both those qualities are embodied in one person.

• Det. Mac Taylor : A handshake used to mean something. An officer was shot today and a civilian wounded. The ammo we found had your crew's signature on it. When a guy like you gets released from prison a week before people start getting shot, I don't believe it's coincidence.

  Luther Devarro : I don't hustle. You know what that means? I don't look people in the eyes and lie to them.

  Det. Mac Taylor : Am I supposed to believe that?

  Luther Devarro : I have as much reason as you do to want to bring those kids in who shot Hazel Ortega. I didn't give that order. But I have it on good authority someone in my crew did. The last thing I want is an army of badges canvassing my neighborhood with itchy trigger fingers. Someone's son is liable to be out on his stoop holding a cell phone and catch bullets.

  Det. Mac Taylor : There's one way to take the heat off your crew.

  [Devarro nods understandingly] 

  Luther Devarro : Send a uni to the corner bodega on 116th. You'll find two remorseful young men who fit the description of your shooters. This is a gift I hand to you, Detective.

  Det. Mac Taylor : I trusted you once. If you're lying to me about this, next time I'll be back with everything I have.

• Don Flack : [about Panthro Torres]  Guy wakes up a big shot, ends up a shish kabob.

  Det. Mac Taylor : A lot can change in one day.

• Don Flack : Torres was the leader of El Puño, so this was likely a hit by a rival gang.

  Det. Mac Taylor : That means El Puño's gonna want blood.

  Jo Danville : From what I've heard, these aren't two-bit, three-block dope dealers.

  Det. Mac Taylor : Far from it. They control East Harlem.

  Don Flack : Drug trafficking, extortion, murder for hire, name it. El Puño's a one-stop shop for all bad things.

  Jo Danville : Whoever killed Torres is gonna have a mark on their head.

  Det. Mac Taylor : Well, we got to find them before the streets do or it's going to be war.

• Det. Mac Taylor : [to Lisa Brigosa]  Last I saw you, you were in Catholic school.

  Lisa Brigosa : Back when I robbed nuns for fun.

• Det. Mac Taylor : [to Luther Devarro]  I want to know if I'm gonna have a problem with your crew.

  Luther Devarro : This your way of paying condolences? Last time I checked, it was one of my men who had holes burned into him.

  Det. Mac Taylor : And killing more people is going to make it right?

  Luther Devarro : What's the alternative, turn it over to the NYPD? Cops like to see us as defendants or, better yet, deceased.

  Det. Mac Taylor : Doesn't have to be that way.

  Luther Devarro : I didn't make the rules.

• Det. Mac Taylor : [to Luther Devarro]  You want to teach the next generation? You tell them revenge lands them in prison or a grave. You're a man of intelligence. Reason with them.

  Luther Devarro : Men can reason all they want. Machines got minds of their own.

  Det. Mac Taylor : I want your assurance that this is not the beginning of a war.

  Luther Devarro : I hear your concern, but I can't make that assurance.

• Don Flack : I'm good. I'm pissed. Hazel Ortega got shot in my custody.

  Det. Mac Taylor : And they would have killed her if you didn't get off some shots. There was nothing you could do. This was an organized hit and she was the target.
