"Omission and lies." "What about that?" " Want some truth?" "Bianchi beat a murder rap four years ago..." "When evidence went missing during hurricane Sandy." "I think the judge escaped his DWI and vehicular assault charge the same way." " Weren't you the one crying about a world of hurt?" " That was before Bianchi threatened me today."

" Absolutely." "old Donnie spent a lot of time around here." " Yeah... but there aren't a lot of places for a man to hide in this building. and... I believe there are some fascinating frontiers yet to be discovered in this precinct." " Do you?" " Yeah." " It's rough terrain." "Be careful you don't lose your way."

"Woz asked him to hold it for us." "we stopped collections for a reason." " You don't think I know that?" "I don't even remember making the decision." "I just gotta come up with a good cover story." "you need to come clean." "I've already been shot once this year." " Woz will understand. but if he thinks you went outside his trust..." " Early retirement." " Tell him." "Trust me."
