- Lt. Roy Devitt, SFPD: Now listen...
- Detective Lt. Mike Stone: No, you're right, Roy, I was way out of line. But a policeman's been shot - a brother. And there's some born scum out there laughing about it right now and I want to see him nailed.
- Lt. Roy Devitt, SFPD: Yeah, I understand.
- Detective Lt. Mike Stone: I just want to make sure that the law stands by a man who spent his whole life trying to make it work.
- Lt. Roy Devitt, SFPD: Okay, you call the shots.
- Detective Lt. Mike Stone: [rousting an ex-con] He used a .38 to cut down a cop.
- Eddie Suslow: Shot a cop? He can't be all bad.
- [Stone begins to boil with anger]
- Eddie Suslow: Okay, take it easy.
- Detective Lt. Mike Stone: Now you know what's walking, running, and crawling. You know who's hard up and wo's holding on. I want you on the street with your ear to the pavement, and I want the name of that punk who pulled the trigger. You just call me every hour on the hour.
- Eddie Suslow: Or what?
- Detective Lt. Mike Stone: You just be two minutes late and I'll show you "or what."
