- Quotes
Shane Vendrell: Here you got it all, don't ya'? You got money. You got power. RESPECT!
Antwon Mitchell: The hillbilly's been listenin' to my speeches.
Shane Vendrell: It's too bad about your son, though. Tell you what, if my boy turned out to be a fag, I don't know what I would do.
[pauses]
Shane Vendrell: They say you're born that way. You doin' his mother out the ass when you knocked her up?
Antwon Mitchell: One time, doin' time, for a long time.
Shane Vendrell: That poor little kid. He's gonna be found face down, in the shower, with a back full of shiv and an ass full of cum. Word hits the street, what's that gonna make you look like, huh? I mean, your people don't cop with the homo vibe.
Antwon Mitchell: My people... ain't your worry.
Shane Vendrell: Yeah? But you know with all that money, all that power, at the end of the day, you're still just a nigger! With a faggot nigger son! And where's the respect in that? HUH? Where's the respect in that?
Antwon Mitchell: [Sits down and puts the cuffs back on] Now... what were you sayin' about my nigger faggot son?

Written and Performed by Vivian Romero, Ness Bautista, and Rodney Alejandro
This is more or less the climax of the season thus far. Every character gets a great chance to shine. Loyalties are tested time and time again, important discoveries are made, and electrifying performances are given left and right. There's a particular interrogation scene in this one that had me reeling. This episode was over an hour long and yet it went by very fast. I spent the whole latter half of it hoping and praying that it wouldn't end. When it did, I was both incredibly impressed with what I had witnessed and simultaneously desperate to find out what would happen next.
Easily the best episode of The Shield so far. I'm not sure if a 10 is too generous, but right now it feels deserving considering the current 8.2 rating. Can't wait to find out what happens next. Great episode.
