Backfire (2013)

Robert Gossett: Russell Taylor

Quotes 

• Assistant Chief Taylor : Look, why don't we turn our limited resources back to where they belong - the victim, Briana Mathis? You already know who's responsible. He's seated right there, in the next room, hopin' for a deal. Get him to cooperate with you.

  Lt. Louie Provenza : Maybe you haven't noticed, but Goss's lawyer won't even let Goss talk to us.

  Assistant Chief Taylor : Chief Johnson could have found a way around this.

  Lt. Andy Flynn : She would have, but then we would be back defending ourselves in court.

  Lt. Louie Provenza : We don't have to convince Jason Goss to confess. He's already done that. Now, we have to convince Jason Goss to confess again under less favorable circumstances.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : And I am sure that Chief Johnson could have done that, too. On the other hand, she never would've reported to you, and as it so happens, I intend to begin our second investigation by following through on this 911 call.

• Captain Sharon Raydor : Actually, we could give him to you now as part of a plea agreement to Murder Two. The judge would accept that, as would Goss, if we had just a little more proof that he killed Briana.

  Assistant Chief Taylor : Good point, Captain. Does the FBI have anything on Goss they could afford to give up?

  Scott Shaw : Okay, look... that scumbag she thought was her boyfriend...

  Captain Sharon Raydor : Hm, Cory? Cory something?

  Scott Shaw : Mm-hm.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : He drove a Mercedes-S, I think?

  Scott Shaw : I can tell you, on the record, that was the car Briana was pushed from. Cory was behind the wheel of it when she left the club. Let me see if we can bring the kid in without harming our case.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : Excuse me, uh, I have a call.

  Lt. Louie Provenza : [phone rings]  Joe's Pizza.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : Lieutenant, I've got it. We've got information from the FBI that gives us probable cause and a straight and narrow path to the Mercedes outside Goss's Statement of Facts.

  Lt. Louie Provenza : So we can arrest Cory Stark and apply for a search warrant based on FBI information?

  Captain Sharon Raydor : Yes, but in order to use him against Mr. Goss, I need Cory Stark alive and talking.
