Penny Dreadful: City of Angels Season 1 Episode 3 Quotes

Beck: And now you think you're going to get that road built on the graves of four dead cops and eight dead Mexicans.
Townsend: Yes, ma'am. I call it healing this city's wounds in concrete and asphalt.

Mateo: Tell you what? If I was a Pachuco, I would slit his throat for what he did.
Raul: That is your brother. You respect him. You think he wanted any of this? Jesus Christ, I'd rather be any fucking thing in this world than Tiago. He's not one of us. He's not one of them. He's a cop. He's a Chicano. He doesn't know what the fuck he is. You want to see a hermano? You look in his eyes. You be kind.
