Quotes 

• Shelby Kelman : I really need your help. Tiffany Bowling was my best friend. We went to the academy together. I wanna take down the people who killed her.

  Sgt. Chris Lorenzo : Do you know who they are?

  Shelby Kelman : Yeah. Matt and JoJo Cardell.

  Sgt. Chris Lorenzo : Let's go look 'em up.

  Shelby Kelman : I wish it was that easy.

  [shakes her head] 

  Shelby Kelman : I don't have anything that will hold up in court. That's why I need you guys.

  Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : So, why us?

  Shelby Kelman : Because you're good. And because you're perfect types for what I have in mind.

  Sgt. Chris Lorenzo : What are we talking about here?

  Shelby Kelman : White slavery, at the very highest end. Tiff was trying to get inside an operation. We believe they sold over a hundred women into bondage around the world. She answered an ad for a high-paying international modeling job, and was accepted. Her motions were always monitored, but... there was a switch in location, and... I lost her. My guess is... the Cardells brought Tiff and several other women up here to be sold on auction.

  Sgt. Chris Lorenzo : So... what you got in mind?

• Sgt. Chris Lorenzo : [to Shelby]  You're dangerous. Your plans are coming apart like paper shoes.

• Shelby Kelman : Rita will go undercover as an aspiring model. I'll pose as a buyer,

  [to Chris:] 

  Shelby Kelman : and you'll be my bodyguard. I'll be beside you, Rita, and we bust them when money changes hands.

  Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : Well, it sounds good to me.

  Sgt. Chris Lorenzo : Hold on a second, hold on. I don't want to be a stick in the mud, but... You're asking me to take a big risk here. And your last bird on the wire, I hear, got beaten to death.

  Shelby Kelman : You think I don't feel responsible for what happened to Tiff?

  Sgt. Chris Lorenzo : Shelby, that's not what I'm saying.

  Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : Chris, I have heard what happens to the women who get sucked in by these plots. They're shipped overseas and they become sex slaves. And once the animals get *bored* with their *toys*, the girls are sold again. Some into the brothels of Asia, and others are put on camels' backs and they are peddled across the desert like pots and pans... for sex.

  Shelby Kelman : The lucky ones die. These people need to be taken down. Tiff died trying to do it.

  Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : I'm in.

  Sgt. Chris Lorenzo : [nods]  Okay. All right. On one condition. Rita doesn't jump into the pool till after you and I splash around the Cardells.

  Shelby Kelman : Fair enough.
