Eddie: Hands behind your back.
Man: What the hell? I didn't do anything.
Eddie: Just go with it. We're trying to save your life.
[Badillo arrests the other man]
Other Man: Seriously?
Badillo: You held a man at gunpoint. That's against the law.
Man: I know the law. I'm a retired cop.

Reporter: What do you think about Mayor Chase's policy of welcoming illegal immigrants?
Frank: The mayor may think he's doing good. But the truth is, these poor immigrants are made part of his game show, where he brings them up on the stage and dumps them in a system that is overwhelmed and unable to handle them. If the mayor really wants to do good, he can start by giving the police department the resources we need to actually help these immigrants.
