- Detective Aiden Burn: Give me your hands.
- Shaun Deroy: What's the magic word?
- Detective Aiden Burn: Hands!
- Shaun Deroy: I wonder how much damage I could do in the two seconds it would take that guard to get in here.
- Detective Aiden Burn: Palms up!
- Shaun Deroy: I believe I asked you a question.
- Detective Aiden Burn: And I'm tellin' you to step back!
- Shaun Deroy: Why don't you make...
- [Aiden tasers him]
- Shaun Deroy: [Screams] I can't feel my ribs!
- Detective Aiden Burn: Oh, you will, and it's gonna hurt like a bastard!
- Detective Mac Taylor: What did the witness see?
- Detective Don Flack: Nothing. She heard a ruckus through her wall, then the shot, discovered him here.
- Detective Mac Taylor: She ran TOWARD the sound of a gunshot? Must not be a New Yorker.
- Detective Don Flack: She's from South Carolina. The whole building's full of students.
- Detective Mac Taylor: [the father of a suspect has filed a complaint against Stella] You should've told me. You know how I hate getting surprised by Hillborne.
- Stella Bonasera: Lipstone's just trying to get us on the defensive, Mac.
- Detective Mac Taylor: You handed her ammunition. Benson's just trying to protect his daughter like any father would.
- Stella Bonasera: Yeah, well, I was thinking of Will's father. How long that drive back to Jersey must've been after what we said to him.
- Detective Mac Taylor: You should've been thinking about Lipstone. She's an expert at turning a criminal trial into a referendum on how cops screw up.
- Stella Bonasera: I know how trials work, Mac.
- Detective Mac Taylor: Good! Act like it.
- Diane Lipstone: My client has nothing to say.
- Stella Bonasera: It's okay. I'm in a chatty mood. You know, Jordan, when you opened that purse and saw what you walked away with, my guess is you figured out a way that you could regain the lifestyle your father had cut you off from.
- Jordan Benson: [flashback] Coke at a serious discount. Text me, it's safer.
- Stella Bonasera: And you had two buyers the next day. So you hid the drugs at your apartment, took the two portions to campus to sell, and after you sold to Paul and Andrea, Deroy was waiting for you, and grabbed your purse. But the drugs weren't in the purse. Now you had his drugs, and he had your address. You couldn't call the police. You went back to the apartment, got the rest of the drugs and took off, so you could sell them.
- Jordan Benson: [flashback to Jordan and Will] Taking off for a couple days.
- Will Novick: See ya.
- Stella Bonasera: But you never gave Will a heads up. It didn't matter that he was brutally, *brutally* murdered. At some point, when you came back here, maybe after Detective Flack and I told you what happened to Will, you realized that those drugs were bad news. And up until that moment, everything that happened was a series of... stupid mistakes made by a spoiled, sheltered little girl. But what a jury will find most unforgivable... is that there is no record of you *ever* trying to contact Andrea Allix, knowing that those same drugs killed Paul Collins. Perhaps on your lawyer's sound advice. Jordan Benson, you're under arrest for negligent homicide and heroin trafficking.
- Sheldon Hawkes: Fatal shot to the head was an act of mercy, after the beating he took.
- Stella Bonasera: His attackers were on a mission.
- Sheldon Hawkes: Yeah, and they knew how to inflict pain. They broke three ribs, causing him to lose his breath. Kicked him in the kidneys hard enough to bruise the organs. It'd be excruciating. Stomped each kneecap.
- Detective Mac Taylor: The intruders were desperate for something inside that apartment. Probably a stash of heroin.
- Sheldon Hawkes: Did they find it?
- Stella Bonasera: We don't think so.
- Detective Mac Taylor: Signs of heroin use?
- Sheldon Hawkes: I'm running a tox. No needle marks, no inflammation of the nose or lips. Weight was good, heart in great condition. I'd be surprised if he's a user.
- Stella Bonasera: Well, the smartest dealers never dabble in their own product.
- Sheldon Hawkes: His father came up from Jersey to, uh, do the ID. I did not detail the torture to him.
- Detective Mac Taylor: What do you have on those "King Lear" tickets?
- Detective Aiden Burn: Ran the DNA on the blood on the top ticket. It belonged to the victim.
- Detective Mac Taylor: Prints?
- Detective Aiden Burn: Two usable. The victim and an unknown, not in AFIS. But there is something odd that you don't need a microscope to see.
- Detective Mac Taylor: What's that?
- Detective Aiden Burn: [spreading the tickets out] Two tickets are missing. G-13, G-14.
- Detective Mac Taylor: [checking his watch] It's matinee day. Show's going on right now.
- Detective Aiden Burn: Kill someone, scam his tickets? Kind of brazen, isn't it?
- Detective Mac Taylor: I've seen stupider.
- Detective Mac Taylor: What was the substance on Deroy's hands and clothes?
- Detective Aiden Burn: Superglue. You know of a use for superglue in the drug world?
- Detective Mac Taylor: Not offhand. How about DNA?
- Detective Aiden Burn: Not Will's. Some unknown female.
- Detective Mac Taylor: Compare it to a DNA sample of Jordan Benson's.
- Detective Aiden Burn: You think Deroy assaulted Will's roommate?
- Detective Mac Taylor: Yes. We're now focusing on Jordan as the source of the heroin, not Will Novick. We know Jordan was uptown during the home invasion, and the purse appears to have been physically wrested from its owner. If Deroy and his partner got the purse from her first, that's probably how they got her Village address.
- Detective Aiden Burn: Poor Will was collateral damage.
- Detective Mac Taylor: Process that purse. Look for traces of heroin, contents that gives us a timeline, links to Deroy. Anything and everything.
- Detective Aiden Burn: You'll get a novel out of it.
- Stella Bonasera: This place is totally trashed.
- Detective Mac Taylor: So is the victim.
- Stella Bonasera: I don't think I've seen this severe of a tossing in a long while. Oh, yeah, they were definitely looking for something.
- Detective Mac Taylor: Thoroughness of the search says it probably wasn't found.
- Stella Bonasera: You search, you find, you stop.
- [about rich father who froze his spoiled daughter's credit card account]
- Stella Bonasera: Six weeks ago, he paid off two balances over $10,000 each, and then her froze her account. It's the uptown version of being grounded.
