- John Nolan: You still struggling?
- Angela Lopez: No. Well, a little. I know. I-I need to get over it. I'm a cop. I'm going to see messed-up things.
- John Nolan: True. It doesn't mean you have to act like it doesn't have an impact on you.
- Angela Lopez: I mean, Harper didn't blink.
- John Nolan: Harper has seen things that would give Freddy Krueger nightmares.
- Nyla Harper: [When asked if she believed in Evil] Uh, do I believe in the embedding of a metaphysical force within the body that turns people into monsters? No comment. But I know for a fact that this is only gonna get worse. If this really is Quinlan's guys, then, this is likely the beginning of a gang war.
- John Nolan: Well, maybe we pay both these guys a visit, impress upon them how bad it would be if they were to take it any farther..
- Angela Lopez: It's worth a try.
- Nyla Harper: A shot across the bow is not gonna stop them, but it might slow them down long enough for us to put bracelets on the monsters who did this
- Quinlan Wright: Officers, man, we in the middle of a game here.
- John Nolan: Look like you guys could use a breather.
- Quinlan Wright: I can go all day and all night.
- [Quinlan leers in Celina's direction]
- Celina Juarez: Hmm. Then you should, uh, cut back on the little blue pills.
- Street Hoodlum: Help you?
- John Nolan: We're here to see Quinlan.
- Street Hoodlum: Not here.
- John Nolan: And yet I'm looking right at him.
- Lucy Chen: You know, kids need to have fun, but they also need a little bit of structure. Hey, hustle up. Okay. Uh, my name is Lucy. I am Coach Bradford's friend, and we're gonna start with the basics Throwing the ball. So, first things first, make sure the ball is secure in your mitt. Eyes on the target.Step out with the opposite leg from your throwing arm. Follow through. Ball lands back in the mitt. And we'll cycle through that, okay? We're not gonna move on until everybody gets it. So spread out. Let's give it a try.
- Nyla Harper: Moses's shop has seen better days.
- Wade Grey: Where is he?
- Angela Lopez: Slipped out the back as soon as the shooting started. You know he's gonna go back at Quinlan twice as hard.
- Wade Grey: Be sure to brief the midnight shift and the gang desk. This war's gonna keep escalating until they take each other out.
- Wesley Evers: These cases are frustrating, and hard. All you can do is keep circling back. And she may never be ready to leave, but it's important she knows that we'll be there when she is.
- Wesley Evers: The good news is they haven't paid rent, so you can start the eviction process today. Based on their history, they'll probably take it to court. Because of the backups, it'll take a while to get a date. Uh, if you're lucky, you'll be rid of them in three months.
- John Nolan: Three. So meanwhile, I'll be out legal fees, and they'll pocket $18,000 renting out the place to make "adult films."
- Wade Grey: Taking Elijah off the board gave us brief peace. Now there's blood in the streets.
- Angela Lopez: Moses has been around for a long time. He even has legitimate businesses as fronts. He's smart and measured until he's pushed into a corner.
- Nyla Harper: And Quinlan is young and wild and not trying to wait his turn.
- Wade Grey: Did the night shift hear anything about Moses hitting back?
- Angela Lopez: No. Not a peep, which somehow makes me more nervous.
- Nyla Harper: At least that means there's no new bodies.
- Angela Lopez: Or none that we've found yet.
- Damian Lopez: I have a lead. A kid in my congregation, one of Mateo's friends He came to me this morning, and asked me to tell you something.
- Nyla Harper: When you say "friend," you mean they used to bang together?
- Damian Lopez: Yeah.He told me Moses's crew is transporting a big shipment of drugs today, hidden in merchandise for his auto shop.
- Angela Lopez: Wait, I thought you said your informant is in Quinlan's gang.
- Damian Lopez: He is. What?
- Nyla Harper: There's just, there's no way a street-level kid would know something like that, especially about a rival gang. Unless someone wanted him to know.
- Angela Lopez: Quinlan sent him to tell you.He wants the LAPD to do his dirty work for him.
- Damian Lopez: I'm-I'm not following.
- Angela Lopez: He tips us off so we take Moses off the board.Quinlan wins the war without losing any more of his guys.
- Damian Lopez: So you're not gonna act on the tip?
- Nyla Harper: Oh, no.We definitely are.
- Wade Grey: Doesn't matter if Quinlan's trying to play us. Any chance we have to put Moses behind bars, we're gonna take it.
- Celina Juarez: Okay, how do you keep all these players straight? I mean, it seems like they're rising and falling every five minutes.
- John Nolan: Takes work. Uh, CIs on the street, regular check-ins with the different desks Detectives, Narco, gangs. I was planning on waiting till you had a few more months under your belt to do that deep dive.
- Celina Juarez: Oh, I'm ready now. The more I know, the less surprised I'll be.
- John Nolan: Ah, if only that were true.
- Wesley Evers: ...The lease terms specifically prohibit that. Makes the case more clean-cut.
