Well the badge stands for more than words. If we don't stand for rule of law, then who will?

Riley: The call is mine.
Bill: That's true. However, a public conflict between the Sheriff and the DA will not be any less destructive to the county than an LAPD officer for a crime he absolutely committed.

Riley: I'm a lawyer. Everything is negotiable.
Bill: Everything except the truth.

Riley: The days of a corrupt and lawless Sheriff's department are over. No more insiders. It's time for a reformer, an agent of change, someone to come in and clean house. So, today, I humbly announce my candidacy for Los Angeles County.
Jerry: What are you thinking?
Bill: I should have seen this coming.
Jerry: She'll destroy everything we've worked for. Whatever you think of me, Bill, an outsider running this department isn't right.
Bill: This may be the first time I've ever agreed with you, Jerry.
Jerry: It's not about you and me anymore.
Bill: Never was.

Personally, I got a soft spot for cowboy diplomacy. But with nepotism, I agree. Fortunately, that's not what this was. Deputy Harris was right. LAPD was pinning a murder on an innocent man. Here's how I see it. You're letting a corrupt police officer walk for your own political benefit as you aim to run a department that you've never worked in, and you think you can do it better than all of the people who climbed their way up on the inside.

Bill

Jerry: You really think you can win.
Riley: Against Hollister, we'll see. Against you, easily.

Charlie: I owe you a second thank you.
Bill: For what?
Charlie: For believing in me. For helping out with Isabelle with no questions and no conditions.
Bill: That's all this is really about. The big wins, the unimaginable losses. We're here to help each other; otherwise, we're just passing time.
