James Morrison: Deputy Commissioner Malone

Quotes 

• Kate Beckett : Hi, Deputy Commissioner Malone, I'm Captain Kate Beckett.

  Deputy Commissioner Malone : Captain, nice to finally meet you. You're a bit of a legend around these parts. Recruits have been gunning for your records since I got here five years ago. So far, no one's gotten close.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, well, they will. Every record falls in the end.

• Deputy Commissioner Malone : Here's Bardot's file. I've assigned his instructor, Sergeant Ortiz, to be your liaison.

  [sees Beckett's smile] 

  Deputy Commissioner Malone : You know Sergeant Ortiz?

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, I do. He was my instructor when I was here. His tough love is the reason my name is on all those plaques out there.

• Kate Beckett : So, what can you tell me about Daniel Bardot?

  Deputy Commissioner Malone : He was an admirable kid. Got a rough start in life. His parents were killed in a robbery when he was nine.

  Sgt. Joseph Ortiz : It's not surprising when you grow up in Hunts Point.

  Kate Beckett : The Irish Mafia's back yard. There's not a lot of good cops coming out of that dirty furnace.
