- Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson: Where's the line for you doctor? You start by cutting up people you *think* committed rape, and who's next? Drug dealers? Thieves? People who cross against the light?
- Dr. Luis Navarro: Listen to me. There are two really bad boys out there that I didn't get to. Why don't you give me a year? See what happens. I can make this place safer than you can.
- Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson: Who gave you the right to play God?
- Dr. Luis Navarro: Position was vacant, so I took it.
- Russell Taylor: [to Brenda] What on Earth made you apply for Chief?
- Will Pope: I told her to. She was drafted by the LAPD's Women's Work Group, and I thought she should go with it. So now she's one of the twenty-seven billion other people who've applied for the job, which means I'm not the slam-dunk we hoped I'd be - and the last thing I need is for hacked up bodies in garbage bags to be the leading story on tonight's news.
- Russell Taylor: Well, lucky for us, the press doesn't care about murders in that neighborhood.
- Will Pope: And to keep it that way, here's a list of words I'd like to *not hear* during this investigation: Mexican cartel murders, bag of bones, serial killer. I do not want these cases sensationalized.
