Quotes 

• Roe Saunders : Security footage from Tom Martin's office. We got Maria Ortiz leaving Langley's room night of the murder. Looks like her shirt's ripped.

  Nina Inara : Let's go pick her up.

  Al Burns : Not so fast.

  Mike Costello : There's a confession, security footage. Are you waiting for a sign from God?

• Al Burns : So we got a drug company, a gym bag, and a Dominican housekeeper. What's the connection?

  Carrie Wells : I say we just ask her.

  Mike Costello : Well, you can't question her. She's got counsel.

  Carrie Wells : I'm just going to talk to her.

  Al Burns : That'll bite us in the ass. I wouldn't do that.

  Carrie Wells : I know *you* wouldn't.

  Al Burns : Carrie...

  Carrie Wells : I'll be careful.

• Al Burns : What happened to careful?

  Carrie Wells : Apparently, I don't do careful.

  Al Burns : What else don't you do? You want to give me a list? I told you not to question her.

  Carrie Wells : I wasn't questioning her. We talked about her family.

• Carrie Wells : Al, listen to me...

  Al Burns : No, no, no, you listen. You are part of a team here. If you're trying to get fired, there are easier ways to do that.

  Carrie Wells : You want to fire me, you go ahead. You dragged me into this, and I'm trying to help you.

  Al Burns : By talking to a suspect without counsel?

  Carrie Wells : Maria Ortiz has a story. I don't know if she's innocent or guilty or what it is, but there is something else there, and that lawyer is stopping her from telling. You have to trust me on this.

• Al Burns : We believe Tom Martin's the guy. Maria Ortiz wasn't even in the room.

  ADA Adam Gilroy : Well, thanks for letting us know.

  Carrie Wells : You should thank us. Somebody was gonna turn up Maria's alibi sooner or later.

  ADA Adam Gilroy : Are you trying to make me look bad, Detective?

• Roe Saunders : All right, get this. Tom Martin's telling our tech guys that his server at the Ely crashed last night. Lost at least two days' worth of security footage.

  Al Burns : That's convenient.

  Roe Saunders : Just so you know, he was extremely apologetic.

• Carrie Wells : I was out of line today. Sorry.

  Al Burns : That's okay.

  [they laugh] 

  Al Burns : You're still pretty lousy at that, aren't you?

  Carrie Wells : What, at admitting I'm wrong?

  Al Burns : Pretending to admit you're wrong.

  Carrie Wells : Oh. Was it the "sorry"?

  Al Burns : Yeah.

  Carrie Wells : Yeah.

  [snickering] 

  Carrie Wells : Yeah, that was pushing it a little, huh?

• Al Burns : I know you think you're only doing this for Rachel, that all this being police again is just something you gotta put up with. But think about how it went down with Maria Ortiz. We never would have gotten to Tom Martin if it wasn't for you. And there are thousands like her. People you need... a certain kind of eyes to see.

  Carrie Wells : You know, Maria said something that made me think. All these years, I thought I couldn't remember because of what happened, you know? But it's not just that Rachel died or how she died. I think... I think it's that I lived, and I... I don't understand why.

  Al Burns : It's not like Maria's son. I mean, that was an accident; it's chance, no sense to it. This guy let you live. Maybe he wanted you to.

  Carrie Wells : Why?

  Al Burns : Stick to it. Out there, in here; you'll figure it out.
