The Perfect Mark (2013)

Brian Wiles: Officer Mike Laskey

Quotes 

• Officer Mike Laskey : I stuck to the guy like glue. This is everyone Simmons met with.

  Joss Carter : Thanks, kid, you did all right. But you should know, it'll get harder out there. After these last few days, things are gonna heat up. So you need to be prepared.

  Officer Mike Laskey : When I got involved with HR, I thought it was about loyalty. I was wrong. It's about murder and greed.

  Detective Raymond Terney : [Interrupts]  Well, ain't that cozy. I should've known she'd turn you, rookie. The first time I saw you, I knew you were weak. So let me tell you how the world works now, kid. We kill her or they kill us.

  [Pulls his gun] 

  Joss Carter : That decision is gonna be your last, Terney.

  [She pulls her gun as well, a second too late - Terney shoots Laskey. Carter shoots him back] 

  Joss Carter : No! Laskey?

  [he's gone, Carter moves to Terney with the stack of photos] 

  Joss Carter : That much blood, and you'll be dead in a minute, maybe two. Make 'em count. Who do you and Simmons report to? Who calls the shots? Is the answer in these pictures, huh? Last chance, Terney! Be a cop!

  [Terney points to the photo of Alonzo Quinn] 

• Officer Mike Laskey : You were right, Carter. They would never let her go. Make it look good.

  Sameen Shaw : Remember, the aim shouldn't be to hurt him, just incapacitate him a little. Also, watch your knuckles. I've punched a lot of guys

  Joss Carter : [Punches out Laskey]  So have I.

• Officer Mike Laskey : Carter, I've been thinking. That antique dealer, I can't just kill someone. When I got involved with HR, I didn't think...

  Joss Carter : No, you didn't think. You just looked the other way.

  Officer Mike Laskey : I can't do that anymore. And you're the only person I've got on my side right now.

  Joss Carter : I'm not on your side. But I'm also not letting a homicide happen under my watch. So, tomorrow, you're calling in sick.

  Officer Mike Laskey : I am?

  Joss Carter : Yeah, see you just got a new job. Tomorrow, you're Simmons's shadow. Wherever he goes, you go. Whoever he meets with, you get pictures of. See, we just tapped into their piggy bank. Now I wanna know who's running the bank.
