Tom Todoroff: I.A. Detective Zino

Quotes 

• [inside Lieutenant Macko's office discussing about Gavlian] 

  I.A. Detective Zino : Here's what we got on Gavilan so far: First of all, he's still seeing Cleo Ricard. In fact, he saw her earlier today.

  Lt. Bennie Macko : God, he does this right in my face. He's just completely defiant.

  I.A. Detective Jackson : Yeah, well he's clearly continuing to work her as an informant.

  Lt. Bennie Macko : Yeah, I know. That's enough to relieve him of duty right there, but, you know, I don't want him relieved of duty. I want him to hang.

  I.A. Detective Zino : Well his financials don't add up. He's paying off three ex-wives. He's got two kids.

  Lt. Bennie Macko : He's got two kids in a fancy college. He's got a great, big house. He's got that big stupid car, you know? What about his Real-Estate thing?

  I.A. Detective Zino : Well, he hasn't made a sale in ages.

  Lt. Bennie Macko : Well, my source tells me he's getting money from somewhere to keep it afloat, so get me more surveillance.

  I.A. Detective Zino : Okay.

  I.A. Detective Jackson : All righty.

• [Detectives Zino and Jackson showing pictures of Gavilan] 

  I.A. Detective Zino : That's Gavilan with Marty Wheeler, attorney for the music business, gambling industry. Sleazeball. You know him.

  I.A. Detective Jackson : [hands another picture to Bennie]  Here's Gavilan drinking on duty. We got photos, date, time stamped.

  Lt. Bennie Macko : [turning bored]  Yeah, okay, this is not criminal. I need criminal shit.

  I.A. Detective Zino : Well, boss, this may not be criminal shit, but, um...

  [Det. Jackson hands photos of Bennie ex-wife, Ruby; Bennie chuckles, then turns cross] 

  Lt. Bennie Macko : What is this?
