Ice-T: Narrator

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Narrator : In New York City there's a fine line between law and chaos. On that line live Danson and Highsmith.

• Narrator : It was the king of the mutt cases, but Allen and Terry had worked it like stars. Within 24 hours of learning about Ershon's scheme and Lendl's massive losses, the government issued TARP funds to bail out Lendl. They were too big to fail. Ershon now resides in Palomino Federal Correctional Facility in Florida. He still invests; currency's just different. Roger Wesley was linked to the Beaman murder by security cam footage which Martin and Fosse hadn't checked. It only showed the back of their heads. But Allen's Faceback app was able to get a match to their faces. Terry married Francine. He played harp at the reception and it was beautiful. He had learned how to play it in the eighth grade to make fun of the fairy that lived up the street. Terry asked Sheila to be his best man, but she declined. Let's be honest, we all wanna be superstars and hotshots. But guess what? The people that do the real work, the ones that make the difference, you don't see 'em on TV or on the front page. I'm talking about the day-in, day-outers, the grinders. Come on, man, you know who I'm talking about: the other guys.

• Narrator : Cops still argue to this day why Danson and Highsmith jumped. Maybe it was just pride, having survived so many brushes with death. Maybe their egos pushed 'em off. I don't know. But that shit was crazy.

• Allen Gamble : [as Gamble and Hoitz leaves Beaman's office in shame and disgrace]  Wow, Mauch was upset, huh?

  Terry Hoitz : Really? The only thing I had to proud of in my life was being a detective. That's all I had. Now, it's gone.

  Allen Gamble : I know. Well, you still got me.

  Terry Hoitz : Don't you get it? I don't want you, Allen. I never did. I told you that scaffolding violation was dogshit.

  Allen Gamble : I've can't believe you still doubt me after everything we've seen. It's a real case and I'm a real cop. We just got the wrong target for Ershwon.

  Terry Hoitz : You carry a rape whistle.

  Allen Gamble : This is real cop's work.

  Terry Hoitz : There is nothing about you that makes a man a man, ok? You've got no gun, no car, no wife, and now you've got no partner. Leave me alone!

  [Terry walks away from Allen in anger; "Season of the Witch", performed by Donovan, plays] 

  Narrator : A mutt case...

  Allen Gamble : [insulted]  Terry, I am a cop for your information, ok?

  Narrator : ...a broken partnership...

  Allen Gamble : [yells]  I'm a cop!

  Narrator : ...and getting busted down to a shitty assignment. Allen and Terry have hit the trifecta.
