• Detective Amy Sykes : I suggest we get in touch with their high school's buy-guy.

  Dr. Morales : Bi-guy?

  D.D.A. Emma Rios : Buy, spelled...

  D.D.A. Emma Rios , Captain Sharon Raydor : B, U, Y.

  Detective Amy Sykes : An undercover officer who poses as a student and makes drug buys.

  Dr. Morales : Ah, you mean a narc.

• Captain Sharon Raydor : His teacher was in his bedroom?

  Lt. Mike Tao : Not only his bedroom but in his bed. We have a pristine set of thumb prints on the headboard and finger and palm prints wrapped around the top and the back as if she was gripping on...

  Captain Sharon Raydor : No, I get the picture.

• Captain Sharon Raydor : I am not surprised. And considering the fingerprint report and the vast amount of evidence that you have uncovered at her residence, I think it's fortunate that her husband's brother is an attorney. Could you put him on the phone? Our schoolteacher's going to need someone to talk to in confidence and right away.

  D.D.A. Emma Rios : Wait a minute. You're helping our murder suspect lawyer up?

  Captain Sharon Raydor : Yes.

  D.D.A. Emma Rios : Are you sure she's in the right place to deal?

  Captain Sharon Raydor : Oh, she is in the perfect place, Emma; and, if I'm right, we're getting the perfect lawyer to help her tell us the truth. Trust me. She'll make a deal.

• Captain Sharon Raydor : I'm going to be awhile. Would you like your security detail to take you to the office or do you want to wait for me here?

  Rusty Beck : Well, uh, hanging out with dead people isn't as fun as it sounds so, yeah, maybe I'll just go and see you at the big conference about my future.

• Assistant Chief Taylor : Okay, let's get back to the boy. What do you think he'd want to do, given the chance?

  Captain Sharon Raydor : Help. He'd wanna help.

  Lt. Louie Provenza : Uh, call me cynical - heh, everybody does - but when a teenager wants to do something - I mean REALLY wants to do something - it's a perfect opportunity for a parent, or a deal-maker, to negotiate concessions. Sharon, we know what Rusty wants from us, but what do you want from him?

• Rusty Beck : Oh, I-I am... I am so willing. Just let me know what you need me to do and I will... I will do it.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : Undergoing evaluation by a therapist.

  [pause] 

  Rusty Beck : What is it with you and the mental-health industry?

  Captain Sharon Raydor : I need to be sure that you can handle the stress.

  Rusty Beck : Handle the stress? What do you think I'm doing now? "Handle the stress." Are you kidding me?

  Captain Sharon Raydor : Okay, Rusty. This evaluation is a non-negotiable stipulation and it is for the city as well.

  [long tense pause] 

  Rusty Beck : Okay. Fine. Fine. I will be evaluatied by a stupid therapist, but can I make a... what, what do you call it? A stipulation of my own?

  Captain Sharon Raydor : And that would be...?

  Rusty Beck : I will be evaluated IF... it is by someone who understands my most important issue right now. And... and someone who is willing to deal with that issue.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : So you would like a therapist who's... who's willing t... t... talk... you... a therapist who's willing to...

  Rusty Beck : My God, Sharon, how hard can it be to say? What is the one thing about me that everyone around here knows? I want a therapist who can play chess, Sharon - and really good chess, too. Not just, like, chess from the '80s.
